No Comments on The Cybernetics of School: The Stars, the Well, and the Institution

Institutions study the world remarkably well. The harder problem is that the world they are studying is also inside the building, and there is no position outside the system from which that entanglement simply disappears.

No Comments on Time, Clocks and the Ordering of Futures: A Eulogy for Those We Will Never Know

The present is not where possibility ends. It is where an immeasurably larger field of possible futures acquires one local history.

Before the Message: A Relational Account of Persistent Disinformation

1 Comment on Before the Message: A Relational Account of Persistent Disinformation

Disinformation does not persist because individual false claims survive. It persists because the communicative relations that make those claims meaningful continue to reproduce themselves.

Philosophy

pity the children

A healthy society expects children to become adults. An unhealthy one encourages adults to remain immature.

cybernetics

harmonic communication

Communication persists not by preserving messages, but because each exchange reshapes the system that makes further exchange possible.

No Comments on redesigning the global economy

The greatest trick concentrated capitalism ever pulled was convincing the world that its own most destructive tendencies belonged exclusively to communism.

parenting, adolescence and the organisation of difference

No Comments on parenting, adolescence and the organisation of difference

Parent-adolescent conflict is not failed communication. It is a regulatory differential through which identity emerges, is negotiated, and persists.

No Comments on Applied Field Logic: Mathematical Foundations

Applied Field Logic proposes that persistence is not found in things, but in maintained relationships. This paper develops the mathematical foundations of that claim.

No Comments on what is economic reality?

Economic reality is not found in the cash register. It is found in the relational field that makes the register mean anything at all.

Reality is not made of things. Things are what appear when deeper patterns of relation become temporarily stable.

trust

1 Comment on trust

Authenticity is not destroyed by media so much as converted into an interface problem: a carefully arranged background, a handful of familiar signals, and the strange little theatre by which the network teaches the self how to appear real.

life

miracle of persistence

Life is not astonishing simply because it exists. It is astonishing because, against every available opportunity to fall apart, it keeps holding together and this resilience is the kernel core of its persistence.
