What unifies all processes is, quite simply, that they are processes: dynamical, temporal, contingent, and transient.

Enduring systems do not survive by resisting change, but by metabolising its consequences into temporary coherence.
Applied Field Logic proposes that persistence is not found in things, but in maintained relationships. This paper develops the mathematical foundations of that claim.

Applied Field Logic: Why?
The aim of Applied Field Logic is to provide a common mathematical language for describing (ie systemic) patterns of organised persistence.

technology: we have a problem…
Technology does not merely change the world. It changes the conditions under which future technologies arrive and thrive.

Applied Field Logic: Climate Change
We require forms of language capable of representing continuity without losing the ability to act locally within it, models capable of preserving the relationship between part and whole without reducing one to the other.
The technology sector is learning to metabolise its own disorder: turning instability into dependency, and dependency back into revenue.

reality
Reality is not made of things. Things are what appear when deeper patterns of relation become temporarily stable.

exasperating alliteration
Information does not travel through the world like a message through a pipe. It survives by finding asymmetry, delay, resistance, and feedback — then turning those differences into the conditions of its own propagation.

miracle of persistence
Life is not astonishing simply because it exists. It is astonishing because, against every available opportunity to fall apart, it keeps holding together and this resilience is the kernel core of its persistence.

Leadership changes amount to little more than a rearrangement of positions within a system whose underlying incentives remain substantially unchanged.

Many of the largest problems now confronting technologically advanced societies are not failures of engineering, they are consequences of its success.
