Coming conflicts will be won by those who can most effectively, efficiently, continuously and adaptively rebuild themselves and their ways of life through successful negotiation and engagement with the recombinatory logical evolution of information and energy from which biology, humanity, technology and civilisation have emerged.
There is no “best” theory, there are only progressively “better” ones.
Time…
Corporate power in the technology domain is a complex cartography but it is not indecipherable. It takes intelligence and subtlety to address the problem of autonomously self-propagating information systems that have grown too large, too fast and in all of this speed and runaway self-replication represent something of an atavistic return to a state of accelerated reproduction which in cells occurs in (or as) cancer.
There is no “best” idea, there are only “better” ones.
If consciousness is a holistic property of information and energy-processing systems, or even a “phase” of matter, it must have some very special logical properties.
Every generation reinvents ennui.
We are the self-replicating logic of logical self-replication itself, repetition with refinement and variation.
It’s binary. Everything is information.
A logic of communication is stored in material artefacts and its expression and distributed embodiment in culture evolves over time.
Where does art stop and the person begin? Is the frame of the canvas the boundary? Is the wall, the room, the building the boundary? Is the audience the definitive edge and boundary condition between the artefact and the meaning or interpretation?
Information encoding for message transmission is a function expressed in (and as) visual culture and which evolves over time.
