Humanity is moving through a narrow and dangerous passage. Environmental damage, political instability, rapid technological change, and economic pressure are all rising at once. Energy use is climbing, ecosystems are under strain, information systems are flooded with polarising noise, and institutions are struggling to keep pace. A major driver of this acceleration is corporate greed […]
Entropy, and only entropy, is king. Highly ordered information systems do not rest on harmony. They are grounded in dissonance, volatility, and conflict, just as is extreme wealth sustained by the presence of its antithesis, the incoherent becoming, and always having been, the transmission medium of its inverse. This is not metaphor. It is structural. […]
Across the major platforms, something subtle but consistent is happening. Posts rise, gather momentum, then stall at almost exactly the same threshold, regardless of topic, audience, or timing. The curve flattens not because interest disappears, but because propagation is capped. This pattern repeats on LinkedIn, WordPress, X, Instagram, and beyond. Visibility has become a controlled […]
Formal Abstract This document presents a formal, process-based theory of language, information, and dynamic meaning systems. Communication, cognition, identity, legitimacy, and truth are treated not as static entities but as temporally constituted processes sustained through repetition, coupling, and feedback within distributed fields. A minimal axiom set grounded in acts, timing, coupling, recursion, variation, and emergent […]
New Year’s Eve is not a clean break in time. It is a maintenance ritual. It presents itself as a boundary between years, as if time were neatly divided and we simply step from one container into the next. That framing works because cognitive, communicative systems like ours require distinctions to operate. We draw lines […]
Sociality and interdependence is our species’ strength but is simultaneously also our weakness. The complex networks and intangible feedback loops of behaviour, communication, material artefacts and technologies upon which we have built a Global civilisation, such as it is, are autonomously self-propagating information systems. Once such psychological, social and cultural systems have gained energy and […]
In the sphere of information replication and mass communication, those messages which most succinctly and concisely convey meaning tend to be those which are most successful in self-propagation, regardless of the relationship of those messages to truth or fact.
…why farm people’s identities when they quite happily, enthusiastically, farm themselves for you…
