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, […]

Jay Forrester (1918–2016) was an American engineer and systems theorist whose work shaped both technology and global modelling. At MIT, he invented magnetic core memory, a breakthrough that powered early computers. Later, he pioneered system dynamics, using computer simulations to understand complex systems like corporations, cities, economies, and ecosystems. His World Dynamics and Limits to […]

It seems to be something of an inevitability, in some sense, that the mothership from whence all complex emergence arises is itself an instance and template case of autonomously self-propagating distributed learning systems ontology. The inadmissibility, in general, of such concepts is very much more a consequence of rank psychological […]
