…of course, falling through what may itself have been emergent logical, statistical and/or combinatorial self-regulation into the potential/stored energy of configuration states that generate and sustain complexity may have in some sense been the Universe’s necessary, if fatal, error. Sure, it’s kind of cool to be able to exist, experience and adaptively reflect back upon […]
Are autonomous vehicles solving the correct problem? Under any well-informed definition, urban sprawl is environmentally costly. Should we be moving people to places or in some as yet unrealised and aspirationally renewable sense, might we also be moving places to people?
Panopticon tesseract and the introspective self-disassembly of ubiquitous surveillance: machine intelligence does seem to find itself haunting these paraconsistent problem spaces. When presented with an enigma, I find it most instructive to find ways to augment – not diminish – the signal of antinomy. That is, let’s say the world is really just a stack […]
Notice: this hybrid constellation of symbols, narratives, and competitive idioms is the central band and “strange attractor” of a probability distribution we might otherwise recognise or identify under some definition of entropy. In a complex system, the paths that emerge and persist are those that reproduce and sustain their environmental containers, contexts, and communication systems. […]
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.
A literal gold rush moment, but let’s not kid ourselves about the good, the bad and the ugly of it all. The cadence is already beyond effective management: everyone is constantly playing catch up, and – if you read between the lines, this uncertainty is the kernel core of the value and utility of an […]
AI is a concept. That concept is, or for all intents and purposes soon will be, everywhere. Cultural systems instruct us in the relational semantics of high-dimensional combinatorial depth without once ever having to complicate it in this way. This is because cultural systems do not copy the blueprint or source code of their contexts […]
Context: What is incoherence? I am reminded of Kahlil Gibran‘s “a pearl is a temple built by pain around a grain of sand.” Emergent systems of frictive cognitive and partisan communications (or belief) system dissonance are inevitable in ways that serially failing to understand them is not. There is a tricky paradox here. Difficult to […]
Our experience of information and computational system vulnerability is serially disconcerting yet lies on a logical foundation and abstract continuum of indefinitely-extensible communications network hyper-inflation. There is pretty much always at least one way to recursively assert or map a system back onto itself; such that unexpected or unintended degrees of freedom instance as a […]
Entropy locking describes the scenario where a system and its control mechanism become intricately intertwined with the entropy they produce, relying on an offset diffusion and complexity displacement for adaptive self-sustainment. The environment is simply another system in the most elementary symmetry or definition; a system/environment coupling or communications bridge resembles two systems, entangled with […]
Ludwig von Bertalanffy, a biologist and a pioneer of the General Systems Theory, discussed the concept of entropy in relation to system dynamics, particularly in large-scale systems. His views can be summarized as follows: Bertalanffy’s ideas were foundational in the development of systems theory, and his insights into the role of entropy in system dynamics […]
Relativistic spatio-temporal curvature and variable time dilation may be a key component in system formation, dependency and self-sustainment. The variable is a property of system clocks, themselves defined by the measure (or bandwidth) of complexity and entropy within which they find themselves entangled. Reciprocal functions map one system internal states to its environment and to […]
