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 […]
This is the game that plays itself through (and as) us. I think the first and most critical error we (all) make is to assume that there is a certain truth or unambiguously articulable reality towards which communication, language and technology are oriented. The game is oriented towards self-propagation. Rationality is not as important as […]
The arc and trajectory of (a) psychosis resonates. An obsessive assertion of and fixation upon deterministic identities and roles both depends upon and further exacerbates the insecurities that drive this whole system. Control, once asserted, almost always and agnostic of context invokes a signal and downstream cascade of entropic consequences that are then further refined, […]
Relativistic spatio-temporal curvature and variable time dilation may be a key component in system formation, dependency and self-sustainment. The variable is a property of system clocks, themselves defined by the measure (or bandwidth) of complexity and entropy within which they find themselves entangled. Reciprocal functions map one system internal states to its environment and to […]
We are the mockingbirds, compulsively copying the copies and idiomatic machinery of our shared times and places, of our competitive or collaborative systems of belief. We don’t copy things, we reflexively copy their encoding mechanisms. Each and every coding error breeds further evolutionary metamorphosis. This indicates our critical dependency upon, and endless invocation of, productive […]
A torus floating against a dark background. This torus is its own negative space. It is a singularly continuous topological surface that is unbroken but that also contains at its core an absence, a discontinuity and a recursive entanglement. The identity theorem (here) is that logical incompleteness precisely is the presence of an unbounded and […]
Being clever is not always about being correct, but being optimistic might in some (or many) instances be the greatest self-deception of all. Systems of largely unsubstantiated belief, as our private and shared worlds tend to be, generate a threshold level of expansive uncertainty and referential or relational (i.e. semantic) undecidability. This then invokes and […]
Semantics is a fascinating mystery that is haunted by, yet enigmatically accelerates towards, a vacuum composed of the circularly generative absence of its own semantic closure. (It becomes a complex, hollow and counter-intuitively meaningless tautology.) “Language” is itself simply another word, hollow and haunted by an underlying relational semantics that forever displaces meaning, identity and […]
