All ordered organisational systems are engaged in an endless competition with (and of) disorder and entropy; it is a race to weave order and patterned persistence from available resources while the other end of the tapestry continuously unravels into largely unrecoverable waste and loss. These organisational systems aspire to a relatively stable or constructively adaptive […]

I appear to have made several fatal errors of judgement in attempting to decode culture, cognition, communication and complexity. The essence of comprehension and information that we attribute as rational, foundational and amenable to explanation is not encoded in such a way as to ever be fully decompressed, unpacked, structured and recorded.

Culture is the logical inversion of the human mind.
Void and Unknowing
The core experience and sense or perception of self is real, but the self is not.
There are no “Creative Types”
We are all, each and every one of us, “creative types”.

We find ourselves endlessly aspiring towards procedurally patterned symmetries of refinement in an iterated and accelerating aspiration towards beauty, knowledge and control.
There is only one underlying logical information system – all ideologies are contingent interpretations that are biased towards selfish needs.
