Field logic approaches complex systems as relational fields sustained by difference over time, not as collections of discrete components governed by linear causation. It is most relevant where systems are fast, tightly coupled, and vulnerable to runaway self-reinforcement, as in contemporary technological, media, and political environments. In these regimes prediction does not mean forecasting specific […]
Executive summary Delay is not a flaw to be engineered away. It is the control parameter that sets a system’s operating frequency. Most complex organisational and institutional service delivery systems tend to fail when their timing is misaligned with the realities they are intended to regulate. That misalignment is rarely visible as a single “slow […]
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 […]
Human behaviour gathers around centres that never quite appear. We move toward meanings that seem solid, yet their solidity comes from the very motion that tries to reach them. The closer we look, the more the “centre” dissolves into the relations that formed it, leaving us oriented by something that exists only as a pattern […]
