Explanation from within the notional bounds of any holistic systems theory at some level of abstraction must always represent an iterative sub-component and subject of its own process of introspective and explanatory or conceptual self-inspection…

Cultural Algorithm
The dynamic activity of the methods, frameworks and algorithms of cultural encryption indicate that the nodes in any sufficiently sophisticated communications or information transmission system are secondary considerations to the primary functioning of a recursive self-replication of those same methods, frameworks and algorithms.
The bundled aggregation and recorded sedimentation of information within, between and around individuals is not simply a symptom of an accelerating information and technological communications culture – it precisely and constitutively is that culture…
Systems continuity and the emergence of useful, creative complexity harnesses the implicit and constitutive logical discontinuity of a holistic systems theory in mischievous ways…
Finite cross-section of infinite systems; complex iterations in a conceptual vocabulary…
Degrees of Complexity
Defining measures of complexity itself proves to be complex…
Finite on an Infinite Sequence
It is quite possible to exist in a finite material context while the underlying organisational principles of that context exhibit or express infinite properties…
Uncertainty Principles
“No problem stays solved in a dynamic environment” (…)
Uncertainty
Even a mature narrative of impermanence and endemic metamorphosis can sometimes be little more than an existential security blanket…
The world feels a little like some complex tapestry in which we are constantly weaving design in at one end while the other end unravels…
You have Free Will
Yes. We are fundamentally free and in at least two different ways. At the social and cultural (or psychological) level – we do not determine the choices from which we choose but are free to choose from within the available spectrum of all possible available decisions. We are also free to recombine existing choices, ideas, […]
