Natural Stupidity

Artificial intelligence is the single greatest facilitator of natural stupidity. It accelerates, amplifies, and at least partially self-validates our worst impulses while reassuring us that we are becoming wiser. Most people seem oblivious to the historical thinness and transient fragility of what they hold dear — emotions, bonds, responsibilities, wealth, loss. All of it rests […]

Dystopian Technocracy

The system persists not because it is strong, but because responsibility for its failures is continually exported onto those with the least capacity to refuse it. Dystopian technocracy is not a future — it is the operating mode of now. Nothing is load-bearing, yet the system behaves as though its own simulations were reality. What […]

Anxiety

Your anxieties are borrowed, acquired, entrained, but the texture of feeling them is yours alone. These signals arise through culture, history, and language, yet the awareness they ignite forms at a singular point no one else can enter or confirm. Much of what feels personal is relationally field-borne and stabilised through repetition, but the immediate […]

Human Systems

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 […]

System Delay is Constitutive

In engineering, delay looks like a nuisance variable. Control theorists worry about time lags because they introduce phase shifts that destabilise feedback loops and narrow the safe bandwidth of a system. Communications theory treats delay as a parameter of the channel, then focuses on encoding schemes that maximise reliable transmission given noise, finite capacity, and […]

A Short Reflection on the Stories That Shape Us

When I was young, I was immersed in the full spectrum of popular culture—stories, myths, comics, and games that framed the world through conflict, difference, and the clean lines of good and evil. What later generations found in computer war games, I first found in Commando comics, Greek epics, Tolkien, and tabletop quests. These weren’t […]

Coherence through Contradiction: A Game of Words

Civilisation runs on language. Every system we build—laws, markets, machines, minds—depends on describing the world in order to act within it. Yet the world always moves first. The act of catching up is not a flaw but the essence of thought: meaning arises in pursuit, not possession. The delay—between what is and what can be […]

The Logic that Lives

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 […]

Immigration Insecurity

Note to self:Conflict over immigration is, before all else, conflict. If not immigration, it would be something else. The issue is not the object but the structure—how difference is processed, amplified, or suppressed within the communicative field. I study communication, language, and complex systems: how we understand what is happening to us through logic, physics, […]

Phase Modulation and the Evolutionary Field

Biological evolution can be read not as a ladder of material refinement but as a synchronisation phenomenon—a system exhibiting Kuramoto-like synchronisation (1984), a mathematical model of how independent oscillators—like fireflies or human hearts—fall into rhythm. Each organism, gene, or mind acts as an oscillator, sustaining an internal rhythm through cycles of metabolism, reproduction, or thought. […]

Norbert Wiener, Redux

In communicative systems, coherence does not arise from shared meaning but from rhythmic alignment. Spectral coupling describes this alignment across frequencies—how patterns of oscillation, delay, and amplitude between subsystems interact to produce stability or distortion. It is not the transmission of messages but the entrainment of their timing and resonance. Within a field logic perspective, […]

Lattice

Meaning can be understood as relational invariance under transformation. In mathematics, invariance is what stays the same when everything else changes. In physics, such stability gives rise to conservation laws — momentum from translational symmetry, energy from temporal symmetry. Language behaves the same way: its meaning persists not through fixed definitions but through relationships that […]
