Conflict: Metaphysics of Non-Closure

Post author By G

No Comments on Conflict: Metaphysics of Non-Closure

Conflict and competitive adversarialism are not necessarily moral failures or aberrations. They are contingent, historically acquired, culturally entrained mechanisms by which complex cognitive, cultural, and communicative systems reliably differentiate, learn, and reproduce themselves over time. These mechanisms arise because complexity does not form around completeness, nor does it arise from closure, certainty, or final resolution. […]

Policy Brief: Field Logic, Delay, and Runaway Self-Reinforcement

No Comments on Policy Brief: Field Logic, Delay, and Runaway Self-Reinforcement

Field logic approaches complex systems as relational fields sustained by difference over time, not as collections of discrete components governed by linear causation. It is most relevant where systems are fast, tightly coupled, and vulnerable to runaway self-reinforcement, as in contemporary technological, media, and political environments. In these regimes prediction does not mean forecasting specific […]

Divided

No Comments on Divided

Technologically mediated communication intensifies what language has always done: it isolates, divides, and distances us from one another, and from ourselves, as a necessary precondition for meaningful communicative experience to arise at all. Given the nature of the world, I carry a quiet regret at not having known more people more fully, even while understanding […]

Philosophical Alienation

Consciousness entails perspectival isolation. Subjective experience is necessarily local, bounded by the fact that one mind does not have direct access to another. Philosophy of mind, phenomenology, and cognitive science converge on this constraint, whether framed as first-person authority, privacy of qualia, or irreducible point of view. Language does not remove this barrier. It operationalises […]

Global Field Logic

Applying field logic to the global socio-economy means treating politics not as the source of direction but as a surface articulation of deeper structural dynamics. By field logic, I mean understanding social, economic, and technological systems as continuous relational environments that shape what can stabilise, propagate, or decay before intention, belief, or ideology come into […]

After Bondi: Communication System Dynamics

No Comments on After Bondi: Communication System Dynamics

After the Bondi shooting, what unfolds across news coverage, social media, and everyday conversation is not just reaction. It is a shared system under stress adjusting itself in real time. People feel fear, grief, anger, and vigilance because something genuinely terrible has happened. Those feelings are not secondary effects. They are the human reality of […]

Human Systems

1 Comment on 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 […]

Organisational Holism

Field Integration Protocol — Metaphysical Complexity in Organisational Strategy 1. Orientation Every organisation lives within a field larger than itself—an ecology of signal and response. Leadership is not command but participation in coherence. Institutions, like thought, are recursive epistemic fields. They translate the world into language, law, and data. When translation hardens into doctrine, systems […]

Phase Modulation and the Evolutionary Field

No Comments on 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. […]

Holism: Everything, Everywhere, All at Once

Post author By G
Post date Oct 8, 2025
1 Comment on Holism: Everything, Everywhere, All at Once

From the outset, holism concerns not wholes but the strange seam between parts. From Plato’s Forms and Spinoza’s substance to cybernetics, ecology, and dynamical systems, holism persists as an intuition of unity. Each turn sought not larger aggregates but subtler grammars of interaction—non-linear feedbacks, attractor basins, emergent orders. Unorthodox approaches—Prigogine’s dissipative structures, Bohm’s implicate order, […]

Identity as Stable Phase Difference: Order-through-Offset in Communication Systems

Post date Sep 30, 2025
1 Comment on Identity as Stable Phase Difference: Order-through-Offset in Communication Systems

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 […]

Sometimes, when people look at me and speak, I don’t hear the words—I see the mouth moving and hear the noise, nothing more. It feels like those moments when a familiar word suddenly turns strange, hollowed of meaning, its surface exposed. I think this happens to all of us: every so often, language reveals itself […]
