To reframe the Lagrangian in terms of deeper exploration of least action, entropy, and logical incompleteness, we begin by shifting the focus from the traditional mechanical interpretation of least actionโthe path that minimises energy expenditureโto a broader, more ontological interpretation. Here, the least action becomes an approximation towards a kind of dynamic equilibrium, not merely […]
Introduction In an era marked by unprecedented complexity, the quest to understand and address significant problems remains at the forefront of human endeavor. These problemsโspanning disciplines such as physics, biology, mathematics, philosophy, and ecologyโoften defy permanent solutions. They are dynamic, evolving as we interact with them, and they challenge our conventional approaches to problem-solving. Amidst […]
Introduction In exploring the depths of complex systems and theoretical topology, I have uncovered a useful insight into the nature of self-containment and dynamic equilibrium. This chapter delves into the intricate relationships between interdependent systems that recursively contain each other, forming a unified whole whose essence is distributed across the entire surface of the system. […]
Identity is not a fixed entity but represents a shifting construct and constellation of relationally-networked facts, orbiting in some sense around an inherent emptinessโan enigmatic absence that defines rather than diminishes. In this space, identity and meaning emerge as relational, shaped by the dynamic interplay between self and other. Language, too, becomes part of this […]
Love is less about filling a void and more about embracing the absenceโthe mystery that compels our curiosity and draws us closer. When we meet someone and resonate, itโs as if we acknowledge and dance around this emptiness together, creating meaning through shared experiences. Our mutual incompleteness is not a flaw but a space where […]
Mnemosyne, the Titaness of Memory, stands as one of the most profound figures in Greek mythology, embodying the living thread of memory that weaves the past into the present and propels it into the future. She is the daughter of Uranus (Sky) and Gaia (Earth), representing a primordial force whose power shapes not only individual […]
…of course, falling through what may itself have been emergent logical, statistical and/or combinatorial self-regulation into the potential/stored energy of configuration states that generate and sustain complexity may have in some sense been the Universe’s necessary, if fatal, error. Sure, it’s kind of cool to be able to exist, experience and adaptively reflect back upon […]
The consolation of philosophy lies in that language allows us to adaptively reinterpret a commonly (as historically) inequitable and unnecessarily adversarial world as hopeful, meaningful and just. A (related) tragedy of communicative dissonance and conflict seems to be that it is precisely the most competitively frictive and absurdly futile of narratives that tend to percolate […]
A thing being as equally and oppositely defined by that which it is not as much as by what it provably is (or consensually appears to be), the absence of its opposite is the simultaneous presence of its psychological, cultural and technologically-mediated self. Facilitated by conveniences of Gestalt illusion, familiar enough to student artists but […]
Are autonomous vehicles solving the correct problem? Under any well-informed definition, urban sprawl is environmentally costly. Should we be moving people to places or in some as yet unrealised and aspirationally renewable sense, might we also be moving places to people?
Engaging whole and holistic systems is a little like trying to orchestrate and sustain the infinitely complex requisite variety of a universal remote control. ๐๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ญ๐ช๐ค๐ข๐ต๐ช๐ฐ๐ฏ ๐ช๐ฏ/๐ข๐ด ๐ข ๐ฅ๐ช๐ด๐ต๐ณ๐ช๐ฃ๐ถ๐ต๐ฆ๐ฅ ๐ง๐ช๐ฆ๐ญ๐ฅ ๐ค๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ค๐ฆ๐ฑ๐ต ๐ง๐ฐ๐ณ ๐ด๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ข๐ฏ๐ต๐ช๐ค๐ด ๐ช๐ฏ ๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐จ๐ถ๐ข๐จ๐ฆ, ๐ฏ๐ข๐ณ๐ณ๐ข๐ต๐ช๐ท๐ฆ ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐ค๐ถ๐ญ๐ต๐ถ๐ณ๐ข๐ญ ๐ข๐ฏ๐ข๐ญ๐บ๐ด๐ช๐ด: ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ฐ๐ง๐ง๐ด๐ฆ๐ต ๐ฐ๐ณ ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ญ๐ข๐ต๐ช๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ข๐ญ๐ญ๐บ ๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ต๐ธ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฌ๐ฆ๐ฅ ๐ฅ๐ช๐ด๐ฑ๐ญ๐ข๐ค๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ต ๐ฐ๐ง ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ข๐ฏ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐ช๐ด ๐ฑ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ค๐ช๐ด๐ฆ๐ญ๐บ ๐ธ๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ฆ ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ข๐ฏ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ (๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐ช๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ต๐ช๐ต๐บ) ๐ช๐ด ๐ด๐ต๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ฅ – […]
Having widely now gained access to this effectively unbounded as relationally networked complexity in generative computational representation, what are the odds that many if not most of the images and texts produced are used to directly or indirectly embellish, validate and incentivise the development of yet more generative and/or (other, as) downstream communications technology?
