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 atmosphere of American politics now resembles a dense fog of ideological noise. What registers as outrage, conviction or disgust is less the product of reasoned belief than the mechanics of replication: the simplest, most virulent signals race ahead of nuance. Words once tethered to meaning drift as tokens in a saturated field, their resonance […]
Authoritarian consolidation does not appear out of nowhere; it emerges as a systemic reconfiguration under stress. In the American case, its acceleration is not an anomaly but the result of institutional brittleness, economic concentration, and communicative distortion. What distinguishes the current dynamic is its self-amplifying character: once initiated, it builds on itself, hollowing democratic resilience […]
In large, coupled communication systems, a global phase of discourse can emerge. Individual identities persist as stable phase differences relative to that field. Identity is not destroyed by resonance. It is produced as a metastable offset that resists full phase collapse while remaining entrained. This yields simultaneous order and disorder across scales. Mean-field picture. Kuramoto’s […]
Corporate technology profits are rarely clean margins extracted from neutral ground; they are anchored in offset risk. Cybersecurity vulnerabilities, compromised personal data, algorithmic misclassifications, even the dependence of daily life on opaque infrastructures—all of these constitute the ground on which profit is made. The value extracted is not merely from the technology itself but from […]
When people speak about language, they often imagine that meaning sits inside words like a substance carried in a vessel. If only we could replace “false” words with “true” ones, communication would repair itself. The history of both linguistics and information theory shows something else: semantics does not precede use. It follows frequency. From signals […]
The self orients itself toward abstractions it can never fully coincide with, and it is precisely this gap—the not-quite-matching—that constitutes the self. The difference is not a flaw but the inflation of the relational space within which intelligibility arises. The self is not a closed entity but the pattern of deferrals and resonances that language […]
It is a mistake to imagine that cruelty or deception arise from the rare brilliance of tyrants or the careful engineering of conspirators. The truth is flatter, colder: given time, scale, and opportunity, suffering emerges almost as a default outcome, an entropic drift in human systems. Power does not require genius to become exploitative; it […]
What begins as an act of response—a mutation, a thought, a tool—is not designed to last. It emerges, briefly optimal in a changing landscape, then fades or fragments. But sometimes, the solution doesn’t end when the problem is gone. Sometimes the solution learns to survive. It begins to reinforce itself, not because it’s still needed, […]
We keep lying to ourselves about stability. The polite story is that systems aim for balance, that institutions exist to keep things steady, that culture and politics and technology are here to make life manageable. But none of that is quite true. Things don’t hold together because they are stable in any simple sense. They […]
