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 image of vapour trails and diffusion captures more than transience; it maps the way systems unravel under pressure. Passing through might once have seemed neutral, a fact of existence, but it has been bent into something harsher. Entropy, which in physics names the statistical drift of order into disorder, is here mobilised by greed, […]
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 […]
Language drifts as matter drifts: clustering, folding, condensing into nodes of repetition that pass for meaning. It is not even significant what the transmission medium is, because entropy finds its own channels; in the end, the medium is us—our beliefs, our institutions, our most sacrosanct assumptions. Politically this volatility is evident, but volatility is precisely […]
Artificial intelligence is widely proclaimed as a generator of new wealth. The suggestion is that models trained on large datasets, coupled with computational scale, will deliver prosperity by sheer force of information processing. Yet this claim collapses under even modest scrutiny. Wealth cannot be summoned into being by wordplay, nor does it arise automatically from […]
Post-stroke psychological exhaustion often reveals itself less in physical depletion than in the operant futility of psychic investments once thought indispensable. Much of the energy that is demanded—whether in meeting social obligations, navigating institutional protocols, or maintaining the relational tissue of external expectations—proves to contribute little to healing. Instead, it perpetuates an endless circuit of […]
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 […]
Spectral Coupling and the Frequency Control Plane of Meaning Most attempts to fix broken communication start at the surface of words. They try to add more facts, more corrections, more explanation. The deeper lever sits underneath the words. It sits in time. Meaning stabilizes when patterns repeat, align, and reinforce one another. That alignment is […]
Each extra node, option, or shortcut in a socio-technical communication system expands the state space—it introduces another degree of freedom. Entropy here is not just noise or disorder but the measure of multiplicity: more ways for things to happen, more ways for things to go wrong. Technology, in its hunger for novelty and feature-set expansion, […]
Wars without end, from Iraq to Ukraine, consume generations while manufacturing weapons and enemies in equal measure. Economies strip forests, poison rivers, and churn out disposable goods, all in the name of growth that hollows out the future. Technologies arrive draped in the promise of connection yet leave populations isolated, profiled, and monetised; social media […]
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 […]
