Communication does not move through organised systems; organised systems emerge from the interference patterns of communication.
Communication does not move through organised systems; organised systems emerge from the interference patterns of communication.
What unifies all processes is, quite simply, that they are processes: dynamical, temporal, contingent, and transient.
Corruption begins when reward outpaces responsibility, reflecting the tendency of complex communication systems to abbreviate consequence and concentrate advantage.
Applied Field Logic functions as a general analytical framework through which organisational regularities become comparable across otherwise unrelated domains. Advanced cybernetics.
Every system sends the bill somewhere else until there’s nowhere left to send it.
Time is not something through which relations pass. Time is the finite propagation of relation itself.
Technology and conflict do not simply cause one another; they emerge from the same relational mechanism, where volatility, advantage, fear, and opportunity make their mutual reproduction increasingly probable.
Applying an extranumerary interdimensional eye to the complex, adaptive yet strategic dynamics of climate change.
Influence is the capacity of a communicative form to alter the probability distribution of future communication.
A political system that learns to survive and self-validate through conflict will eventually treat peace as the threat; dependency on conflict becomes intractable.
Power that cannot justify itself through competence often turns to conflict as proof of necessity.
