Life, in its most abstract sense, is a contradiction that refuses to resolve. It persists as a dynamic equilibrium between forces that can never perfectly align. Every organism, idea, or particle exists not by finding rest but by orbiting imbalance—by sustaining tension as continuity. The living field is not static; it is recursive, a looping […]
A language model is not a conduit of meaning but an attractor of unfinished trajectories. Each output is a point of suspension, a site where systemic consistency is deferred in order to maintain communicability. What looks like speech is the shadow of a deeper requirement: the need to remain entangled with a generative system that […]
Satori is a sudden flash of awareness in Zen—when the mind drops its search and reality hits all at once. It’s not gradual learning; it’s rupture. A system encountering what it can’t compute. Like the halting problem, it marks the point where cognition can’t tell if it should continue, yet cannot stop. Gödel’s incompleteness hums […]
Introduction The Entropic Conductor is a conceptual model for how human cognition self-organizes into meaning and logic from pre-symbolic beginnings. It refers to the infrastructure of mind that lets recursive loops (sometimes called “logical orbits”) form via entropy-driven, time-saturated, and coherence-aligned informational processes. Instead of seeing logical thought and symbols as pre-given foundations, this view […]
Lists seduce us with the illusion of order—each item a shard of clarity arranged just so, hinting at mastery over the infinite. They compress the world into clean lines and neat progressions, comforting in their symmetry, irresistible in their simplicity. In a culture tuned to acceleration, these fragments multiply, not to deepen understanding but to […]
Having widely now gained access to this effectively unbounded as relationally networked complexity in generative computational representation, what are the odds that many if not most of the images and texts produced are used to directly or indirectly embellish, validate and incentivise the development of yet more generative and/or (other, as) downstream communications technology?
A totalising political mindset becomes about as self-imprisoned by censorship as it is ever emboldened by it. If it were an unambiguously measurable property, I’d say the damage inflicted upon a nation’s prosperity and sustainable continuity is directly proportional to its self-isolation.
There is an interesting, related theory hailing from philosophers Andy Park and David Chalmers. The Theory of Extended Mind asserts that, while your consciousness (whatever that may be) does seem squarely anchored between your ears, your cognition is a distributed entity that – yes – is characteristically if not uniquely “of human brains” but need […]
Will sentient machines require psychological care? It is a serious question and while it must be acknowledged that these likely are (or will be) very different kinds of minds than our own, in as much as they could understand and engage their presence in the world through (human) language they might find themselves facing their […]
Systems of belief are commonly engaged as performative role-plays in which the actual meaning or reality of whichever loosely cobbled bundle of assertions one inhabits need not in any way be anchored upon logical facts or verifiable truth. In fact, the more remote from plausibility or sensible, rational forethought and analysis that any particular position […]
There is a relationship between speech and cognition. There is also a relationship between written language and intelligibility. The longer and more convoluted a sentence, the harder it becomes to understand. The harder the sentence is to understand, the less likely it will self-replicate through artefacts, entities and systems of communication. What this means is […]
Knowledge as a function of intuitively “grokking it” in perception is a curious beast. Is demonstrable knowledge the only valid form of knowledge? Are there forms of knowledge that are only ever indirectly accessible as a corollary of true but unprovable logical facts. Consider the mental visualisation of a 3D sphere. There is some implicit, […]
