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

Faster-than-light motion is possible when what moves is not a physical entity but a phase-defined pattern, such as a cancellation point created by destructive interference. As relative phases evolve across a field, the cancellation point reconfigures, allowing this relational geometry to move faster than light without carrying mass, energy, or information. Since no mass, energy, […]

A pocketful of futures
How possibility becomes reality, and why that gap keeps us alive. Time is what turns possibility into fact, starlight into living dust, experience into oblivion. Holding a stone in your hand is holding a pocket full of unrealised futures: nothing has moved, yet movement is waiting. Let it go and those possibilities rush into action […]
Representational relativity is an epiphenomenon strongly supported by the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis (itself perhaps also, and ironically, subject to the representational vicissitudes and aesthetics of oscillating academic taste and cultures). While we might never decompress exactly what the Lascaux cave art meant to its creators, the reflexivity of creative expression as a function of whichever cultural […]
A fascinating feature of contemporary organisational systems, and at all scales of magnitude, is the various ways in which they subscribe to a simplistic mechanical and linear model of ontology and operation. It is as though, while everyone and everywhere is more than happy to commercially and politically exploit the Post-Newtonian and Post-Industrial Revolution technologies […]

A Computational Universe ?
Can the Universe be said to be computational ? Algorithmic ? Can distantly-connected parts of a unified physical totality really manifest computation as we currently understand it ?
