Diagnostic minimalism is the necessary opening move in any serious encounter with a communications system that looks impossibly complex and yet, because of that same complexity, repeatedly falls back into rudimentary behaviour; before adding theory, metaphor, or moral posture, one subtracts, removes inherited ontological furniture, suspends the reflex to personalise what is structural, and asks […]
Redemption, like freedom, is not of self. It is from self.
Negation is the only additive move available to a unified, self-referential system, because with no outside to draw from, coherence grows solely through internal differentiation that preserves the invariants allowing the whole to continue without collapse. The Platonic forms are not objects, templates, or ideals waiting somewhere else. They are the invariants of a unified […]
I no longer believe the world can be healed by better arguments, smarter policies, cleaner data, or more sophisticated machines. These things mostly just turn the volume up on whatever is already broken. The deeper condition is non-closure: the simple fact that complex systems do not stabilise by resolving tension, but by holding it in […]
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. […]
The unconscious is not a hidden chamber beneath awareness, nor a secondary mind running in parallel. It is the emergent interior of dynamical, adaptive, relational complexity itself. It is what complex systems feel like from the inside. Any system capable of learning, anticipation, coordination, and self-regulation must generate internal structure that cannot be fully present […]
Identity formation requires antithesis. In the United States, political coherence has long been organised around opposition: liberty against tyranny, democracy against monarchy, capitalism against communism, freedom against control. These oppositions carved boundaries that stabilised national identity, generated purpose, and coordinated collective action. Opposition was not incidental. It was structural. Without it, American identity would have […]
The self never settles because the world never settles. Your body changes. Neural chemistry fluctuates. Memory edits itself. Relationships move. Context rearranges. Words drift. Culture turns. New facts arrive, old certainties decay, and the feedback never stops. So the self is not rewritten because it is faulty, but because it is embedded in conditions that […]
What is truth. The moment we ask the question, we are already inside language, and everything that follows unfolds from that fact. Truth is not something we approach from outside, as a detached observer might inspect an object. It arises within sequences of tokens, within the games we play with them, within the structures we […]
Psychoanalysis begins with a joke that only works because it fails: the patient arrives burdened with paranoia, anxiety, and unhappiness, and the doctor replies that this is simply the human condition. (Cure denied.) The moment this is understood, the structure collapses. The consulting room becomes a mirror, not a remedy, and what it reflects is […]
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 […]
Ludwig Wittgenstein argued that the limits of language are the limits of the world, not as metaphor but as structural fact: what cannot be said cannot be thought in any stable form. Bertrand Russell pursued logical atomism to anchor meaning in precise correspondence, seeking a syntax that could mirror reality without residue. Charles Sanders Peirce […]
