AI, Data, Antinomy, Privacy

Panopticon tesseract and the introspective self-disassembly of ubiquitous surveillance: machine intelligence does seem to find itself haunting these paraconsistent problem spaces. When presented with an enigma, I find it most instructive to find ways to augment – not diminish – the signal of antinomy. That is, let’s say the world is really just a stack […]

AI & Language

We are collectively navigating a technologically-mediated inflection point and communicative phase transition in which runaway acceleration of dissipative processes (i.e. explosive decompression) are dramatically reshaping how we engage with and understand humanity’s core operating system of language. AI is not simple but in this context it is simply an interface, as is intelligence. Recursively self-propagating […]

Peripatetic Barycenter

If a barycenter wobbles and pirouettes around a “most probable” path or central band of statistical measurement(s), and if observed/calculated planetary and solar dynamics are a function of this mercurial relativistic particularity as it wanders across & through the galactic plane with c. 30M year driving frequency, what are the resonant properties of this system? […]

Necessary Alienation and Communication Complexity

As a general observation regarding science and technology, notice that aggregated explanatory toolsets, artefacts, entities and systems are oriented towards the production and self-validation of knowledge in ways that essentially, perhaps irrevocably, alienate us from ourselves and from each other. Rationally orchestrated system- and self-definition amplifies a signal and gradient of information-as-difference, invoking a function […]

The Value of Chaos

Generative AI systems provide an interface to the near-unbounded representational, referential and/or relationally networked complexity of ourselves, as historical data and informational or logical abstraction. We struggle cognitively and linguistically with a notion that there is no simply deterministic mapping from input to output in these tools. This is not a bug or failure, it […]

Tautological System Dynamics

I wonder if we should be more concerned that fake news (as mis- and disinformation) exists, or that reality is so easily decoupled from our descriptions of it. It says quite a lot about the tautological dynamics of communication systems (of belief) that they are generally and only ever referentially anchored upon themselves.

Electromagnetic Vulnerability

Context: AI-Enabled Electromagnetic Warfare Systems On a general assumption that algorithmic complexity is primarily a transduction of mechanised conceptual logic into alternate (if perhaps inevitable) dimensions, vectored mathematical invocations and expressions of technical entropy; and, given that recursive self-entanglement is both a cause and consequence of intractable systemic (i.e. logical) incompleteness and material uncertainty, this […]

Entropy, Complexity, Algorithm, Identity

I dare say that wherever humanity does or does not find itself in regards to hyper-accelerating tech ological metamorphosis, this destination (or waypoint) will only ever be the most probable as manifest constellation of all possible artefacts, entities and systems in the world. I study holism. Ironically, you come to see it everywhere.

Sickly Sweet Insubstantiality: Generative AI in Popular Music

The music produced here is eminently forgettable, perhaps highlighting a bias of the attention economy towards confectionery-like superficiality. We’re being overwhelmed by a tide of short sharp bursts of information content that lack substantive value or meaning. As a kind of procedural “hollowing out” of ourselves and our diverse histories, this surely poses a risk to the preservation and sustainment […]

Entropic Respiration

For a system to persistently self-sustain, it has to negotiate and/or “exhale” its own waste products as entropy. Generating waste that is reusable by something or someone else is all but ubiquitous in biology. Human systems (and consequences, in a scaled, industrial and technological sense) might be uniquely distinguished by the volume, diversity and cadence […]

Not True

A critical nexus: the assumption of truth as the lowest-energy level or ground-state, system attractor and natural telos of communication. Such beliefs are credible, plausible and compelling but are mistaken. Communication systems are proxy organic entities, maximally-oriented towards the reproduction of themselves and seek to prime their own self-entangled transmission media for existential continuity. The […]

Semantic Morphology is Anamorphic

In a context of artificial intelligence and among many other complex issues of governance and control, we can effectively build the conceptual labyrinth of regulatory theory any way we choose to, unbounded from canonical dogma. Some technical dialects and definitions or descriptions will be more inequitable than others and this is the placeholder for an irreducible obligation and orientation towards […]
