Semiotic

There are strange attractors in the high-dimensional possibility spaces that exist all around us. Our evolutionary inheritance and over-saturated attention dissociates us from it.

Idioms and cliches are the central bank of a probability distribution. The simplest theatrical narratives and conceptual, behavioural vocabularies as compression. A battery and mirror for experience and decompressive enculturation.

Information is deeply mysterious. As Augustine said of time, we all know what it is until someone asks us. The problem is: there are too many descriptions. This is epistemological (and linguistic!) entropy.

Most probable narrative paths assert recursively reproductive radiating species, given an assumption that those narratives are endemically-biased towards generating the kinds of consequences that validate and self-sustain language.

This is also why global geopolitics has a tendency to acquire all the performative sophistication of schoolyard bickering. The most probable paths and narrative flows percolate to asendance as quite generally remedial patterns of cultural replication or conflict.

This game is not about truth. It is about communication. The language and technology we use models the consequences it creates.

Semiotic.
