Modern power does not stabilise disorder. It metabolises it. At planetary scale, technological and financial systems do not merely respond to uncertainty. They generate specific instabilities that make their own interventions appear necessary, then present themselves as the most probable remedy. This is not a claim about intent. It is a structural tendency of adaptive […]
Freedom is not something the self acquires; it is what becomes possible when the self loosens its grip. The more freedom is claimed by the self, the more tightly the self binds itself to definitions, expectations, dependencies, and obligations that must be maintained. Identity hardens. Choice narrows into rehearsal. Autonomy turns into enclosure. What is […]
Applying field logic to the global socio-economy means treating politics not as the source of direction but as a surface articulation of deeper structural dynamics. By field logic, I mean understanding social, economic, and technological systems as continuous relational environments that shape what can stabilise, propagate, or decay before intention, belief, or ideology come into […]
We are repeatedly assured—quietly, implicitly—that technology is beneficial, inevitable, and continuous. Accepting this assurance has become a mark of sophistication, a moral alibi that aligns seamlessly—and not accidentally—with reverence for wealth and the wealthy. What enriches those at the top is treated as evidence of correctness. Profit becomes a proxy for proof. Wealth no longer […]
Across the United States, and increasingly across comparable political systems, authoritarian grift has consolidated with remarkable speed. It is disproportionately financed, protected, and normalised by extreme concentrations of wealth. The alignment is not driven by ideological sophistication, intelligence, or long-term strategy. It is driven by extraction. Ultra-rich actors pursue deregulation, tax minimisation, labour suppression, and […]
We are caught, largely unwittingly, inside a tesseract of relationally incomplete meaning systems. Not because reality is fragmenting, but because closure is now being achieved locally, cheaply, and without reconciliation across the wider field. What feels like disorientation is not loss of sense, but the proliferation of internally coherent partial worlds, each stabilised just enough […]
In a globally integrated system there is nowhere for costs to go. Automation and scale do not eliminate thermodynamic, material, or social costs; they only displace them within the same closed system. This is critically unsustainable because continued growth depends on offloading costs that can no longer be externalised, forcing the system to consume its […]
Governance can be understood as the management of phase relations within an ensemble, not the enforcement of uniform behaviour. In any governed system—social, institutional, technical, or ecological—coherence does not arise from fixing positions or eliminating difference. It arises from partial synchronisation: agents align enough to act collectively while remaining out of phase enough to retain […]
Capitalism is not in and of itself evil. It emerged as a decentralised coordination mechanism: a way to allocate resources, distribute risk, and accelerate innovation in a world too complex for central planning. Markets lifted living standards, expanded technological capabilities, and enabled mobility across class and geography. Yet the same dynamics that reward initiative also […]
The overarching domain is the total surface where every system shapes every other, a fused topology forming a singular systems surface in which no boundary is clean and no action is local. It is the ensemble of intersecting, interdependent systemic surfaces whose shifting pressures generate the forces mistaken for, and interpreted as, discrete events. Holism […]
I spent decades preparing for real inquiry — thinking that universities existed to confront the unknown. Instead, I walked into a machine that protects itself before it protects knowledge. It acts like a guardian of truth while defending hierarchy. It talks about discovery while policing deviation. The gap between its claims and its actions doesn’t […]
Shark skin is a sheet of teeth: millimetre-scale placoid denticles, each with an enamel crown, dentine core and pulp cavity, rooted in the dermis and oriented from nose to tail so that one way feels smooth and the other rasps like sandpaper. In fast swimmers such as the shortfin mako Isurus oxyrinchus and other pelagic […]
