A society sustains peace through care, difference and collective intelligence, organising its institutions to preserve life, enable participation and adapt to changing circumstances.
I went to a School of Cybernetics hoping to develop ideas about how systems organise and reproduce themselves. My experience instead prompted an unexpected examination of institutional authority, intellectual exclusion and the patterns through which institutions reproduce themselves.
The current US President destabilised one of the most tightly coupled junctions on Earth, then seemed surprised when the consequences spread. The deeper problem is that political, ideological and socioeconomic systems often reproduce themselves through the disorder they create.
Parent-adolescent conflict is not failed communication. It is a regulatory differential through which identity emerges, is negotiated, and persists.
Organised systems persist by reproducing the biases that make their own continuity more probable.
What sustains the dynamical relations from which persistent structures emerge?
Applied Field Logic functions as a general analytical framework through which organisational regularities become comparable across otherwise unrelated domains. Advanced cybernetics.
Civilisations fall into rhythms, and changing those rhythms changes the futures they can sustain.
Applied Field Logic proposes that persistence is not found in things, but in maintained relationships. This paper develops the mathematical foundations of that claim.
