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 […]
Language is both the tool and the trap. We imagine ourselves steering it toward justice, order, or truth, yet language is steering us toward whatever best ensures its own survival. Our systems—legal, political, bureaucratic, technological—do not simply operate in language; they operate for it. Every new term, policy, and narrative strengthens the structures of description […]
Inasmuch as we exist in, through, and as language, language itself exists through us. Every action—social, emotional, political—is mediated by language, whether spoken, written, or silently structured in thought. What rises to prominence in our networks, especially in today’s hyper-connected systems, is not necessarily truth or depth, but whatever generates further propagation. Language reproduces itself […]
Abstract: Levin’s concept of the computational boundary frames individuality as an informational horizon, sustained by bioelectric fields that integrate parts into coherent wholes while allowing identities to expand or collapse with communication. This boundary is not fixed but asymptotic, an attractor that stabilizes difference into form without ever reaching complete equilibrium, since full attainment would […]
In an age defined by information overload and communicative saturation, the very structure of meaning is straining under its own weight. Traditional accounts of meaning—rooted in symbols, representation, and local causality—struggle to explain how coherence persists across fragmented, dynamic, and scale-invariant systems. A growing body of work points toward something more subtle and robust: not […]
At the heart of every persistent system is not a substance, but a difference. Field logic begins not with the assertion of identity, but with the recognition that systems cohere through asymmetry. Where classical logic privileges entities and relations, field logic turns to the geometry of tension: a system exists because its mappings do not […]
Attention at scale is volumetric—recursive, entropic, structural. You don’t transmit clean signals through this system. You fracture attention, saturate the surface with rhythmic displacement, let the structure self-propagate. The topological field—as exponentiated relation of relations—holds tension, not messages. Meaning flickers, but drift sustains. Influence emerges as deformation, interference, long slow-wave gradients of entropic drift. You […]
