Redemption Song

Redemption, like freedom, is not of self. It is from self.

The Logic Beneath Logic

The diagram does not describe things in the world. It describes the condition under which things can appear as things at all. Inside the enclosing oval are two distinct systems. They are deliberately drawn as different. Each contains a trace of the other inside itself, but never the other as such. Between them is a […]

Where the real Platonic forms are

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 […]

self

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 […]

Philosophy of Language

My position is that the most consequential features of language, meaning, and coordination cannot be exhaustively defined without being distorted, and that this is a structural necessity rather than a theoretical shortcoming. Certain terms must be taken as primitive, not out of convenience, but because definition is itself a secondary operation, already dependent on relational […]

Desire

Desire does not move in straight lines. It curves. It sustains itself through distance, delay, and asymmetry, forming a logical orbit rather than a trajectory toward fulfilment. What appears in lived experience as longing or pursuit is not a failure of arrival but the mechanism by which relational systems remain open rather than collapse into […]

Recursive Tension: Orbit Frame, Logical Orbit, and the Viability of Communication, Culture, and Ecological Systems

Abstract This paper advances a cybernetic account of complex adaptive systems in which coherence is sustained by unresolved tension rather than equilibrium. The orbit frame is introduced as a relational model that represents systems as networks of elastic constraints across gaps that never fully close. Logical orbit is defined as the recursive dynamical process that […]
