Life is commonly considered as antithetical to death but in some ways, there may be a common ground and source between them.

A logic of self-organisation, information-pattern replication and complexity appears at every inflection of discovery to reveal itself as some kind of explanatory “master key”.

Conceptual Homeostasis
Does the social (and psychological) context of science and technology fundamentally inhibit the free exploration and development of new modes of thought ?

Information Density
Information density is an interesting concept.
Categories
Unhackable Systems ?
Creating an “unhackable” system is a lofty aspiration; systemic closure is an implicit logical problem.

An Autonomous Science ?
The unfolding patterns, exploratory revelations and emergent complexity of Artificial Intelligence may not ultimately reveal itself to be as useful to us as we (and all our aspirations) turn out to be to it.

Cybersecurity is an iterative, recombinatory and open-ended logical process.

The Uncertainty Zeitgeist
Substantive, meaningful content in our shared information spaces is suffering from an information-systems evolutionary selection mechanism that is implicitly biased towards continuity over coherence.

Cosmological Algorithms
From an Algorithmic Information Theory and general systems perspective, matter can be conceived of as an optimally concise algorithmic compression of energy.
The key selection factor for successful pattern self-replication in a transmission medium is the extent to which the information content of that message also (reflexively) supports the propagation of the integrated or gestalt information system represented by the networked transmission medium itself.
Cultural and cognitive information systems (and the individuals they inhabit) are implicitly oriented towards the systemic self-replication of patterned complexity.
Human minds are self-propagating patterns of information that are implicitly biased towards seeking biological, cultural and technological methods of (self-)reproduction.
