The definitions of words. The definition (or description) of a word, a sentence, a paragraph, a document, a corpus. At the “atomic” level of words, each definition and interpreted meaning is inflated and rendered intelligibly sensible as a function of dependency. All words being defined in terms of other words, and as Bertrand Russell reflects […]
Metacrisis complexity reflects the deep interconnections among global systems, where socioeconomic, technological, geopolitical and environmental factors are intricately interdependent. Each regulatory response to these integrated crises, while intended to mitigate challenges, often becomes a functional microcosm in the runaway complexity it aims to address, amplifying the signal of entropy it seeks to navigate. This dynamic requires adaptive governance, focusing […]

A key takeaway is that while the replication of systems of cultural narrative are the center of gravity, truth itself is (or becomes) incidental to the main game of communications system self-replication. Institutional “doom scrolling” is a generative method by […]
Imagine navigating a vast, intricate landscape where every path intertwines, yet no single route offers a complete journey. This is the realm of (a) global systemic discontinuity, a concept that transcends traditional logic and has the potential to reshape our understanding of complex systems. Envision this discontinuity not as a singular, isolated anomaly but as […]
It seems quite petty and inadequate to aspire to “simply” solve just one of the world’s complex problems. Let’s solve them all, simultaneously. What is the one thing that every thing shares? What essence or abstraction binds the world together in some way as “reality” or intelligibility and experience? While it may be possible that […]
In the realm of artistic creation, the emergence of artificially intelligent generative technologies heralds a paradigm shift, one that both augments and, paradoxically, dilutes the essence of human creativity. As we stand on the cusp of this technological revolution, it becomes imperative to question the role and significance of authorial intent in the face of […]
There may exist fascinating parallels between the recursive nature of advanced AI systems and Gödel’s incompleteness theorems, particularly in the context of self-reference and logical systems. This recursion is a function of the endless reprocessing of cognitive, cultural and technological information in contemporary machine learning pipelines. Gödel’s incompleteness theorems, fundamentally, assert two key points about […]
The core question is that of continuity versus change. Not only do we find the genotypical logic of Aristotelian syllogisms whispering back to us in various ways in and as these aspirationally cognitive technologies, but we also find ourselves engaging in similarly antique philosophical reflections at almost every inflection point. Aligning personal experience and socioeconomic […]
There is a central self-gravitational pivot and compound acceleration in the distributed, patterned fields of dynamical symmetry that spontaneously emerge as a communications bridge between human experience and artificial intelligence. The first principle to realise is that, just as there can be no ordered descriptions beyond the languages and encoding systems with which we assert […]
Generative technology provides access to high-dimensional complexity while endlessly attentuating the signal and mechanism of control and certainty with which we seek to do so. This kind of balancing act is neither new nor of a dramatically different kind than previous technologies of cultural information and communications system self-propagation. The long tail of offset complexity […]
One system. Two sub-systems that each contain the other as a function of the communication and interdependent modelling they generate. Each sub-system contains the other and is bound in and as one unifying abstraction that only persists in the way it contains itself. It contains itself through the modularly decomposable differentiation of sub-systems that inflate […]
Complex systems generate their own dissonance. This is how they bind themselves with their environment. Producing entropy as an offset, communication or environmental interchange and signal transduction is a form of declarative individuation, sans agency per se. Language functions similarly in regards to how identity and rationally understood or otherwise relatively well-ordered self-descriptions reproduce themselves […]
