Part 1 — Executive Summary and Scope Modern communication systems—political, technological, and cognitive—operate as self-organising fields of feedback. Their coherence does not arise from authority, ideology, or truth, but from rhythm: the timing, repetition, and resonance of interaction. Disinformation exploits this rhythm. It is not merely falsehood, but a manipulation of synchrony, coherence, and recursion—the […]
2.1 Coherence as a Function of Recursion Every communication system is recursive. It consists of elements that transmit signals influencing their own subsequent states. This self-reference produces coherence. A message gains meaning not because it exists but because it is repeated, referenced, and reinterpreted. Without recursion, meaning is static. With recursion, meaning becomes dynamic and […]
3.1 Measurement Philosophy Measurement in recursive harmonic systems does not isolate variables; it captures relationships. Every observation modifies what is observed, because communication systems are reflexive. Therefore, measurement itself must be designed as participation in the field—an act of modulation that respects feedback dynamics. The goal is not to determine truth but to detect phase […]
4.1 Overview Disinformation interdiction is not the elimination of falsehood but the rebalancing of systemic coherence. It operates at the level of phase relationships—how signals align and reinforce one another—rather than semantic truth. The objective is to restore dynamic equilibrium: sufficient synchrony for stability, sufficient noise for adaptability. The system must breathe. Interdiction therefore proceeds […]
5.1 The Principle of Reflexive Governance Governance within a recursive communication field cannot rely on static regulation. It must function as reflexive control—a governance system that perceives and adjusts its own influence in real time.Each intervention becomes a feedback signal: the regulator is part of the system, not external to it.This principle ensures adaptability without […]
6.1 The Need for Predictive Reflexivity Static policy and reactive moderation fail because communication systems evolve faster than any predefined rule.Disinformation interdiction therefore requires predictive reflexivity—a capacity to anticipate systemic states by modelling their feedback structures. Forecasting in this framework is not prediction of content but simulation of phase evolution: how coherence, entropy, and recursivity […]
The song Police and Thieves first bounced me in the middle of The Harder They Come—Jimmy Cliff cutting through the screen like a switchblade, though I later learned it wasn’t on the original soundtrack. Junior Murvin’s falsetto rides Lee Perry’s eerie dub production like smoke on broken glass, all shimmer and warning. The song isn’t […]
Context: The Great Resignation I’m not sure we should be entirely surprised to observe these changes as the recombinatory arrival and cascading transformation through minds and cultures or sociotechnical and economic systems of an inevitable metamorphosis in the ways people work and live. There have been factors which invoke a large-scale change in work culture […]
We all live in half-mirrored labyrinths through which we view this world as a kaleidoscopic, reflective collage of our own dreams, hopes and desires. It is a necessary function of individuality (or ego) to be structured this way – as though “from an inside looking out” – but the difference and differentiation between inner and […]
It is only by the existence of darkness in our lives that light inversely acquires the value it comes to possess. I would never wish harm upon anyone but similarly I would never wish that their lives were entirely untroubled. Beyond the fact that the Universe is always and already predisposed by logic as much […]
The international society of states appears to be faltering and order looks to be crumbling from within.
