Field Integration Protocol — Metaphysical Complexity in Organisational Strategy 1. Orientation Every organisation lives within a field larger than itself—an ecology of signal and response. Leadership is not command but participation in coherence. Institutions, like thought, are recursive epistemic fields. They translate the world into language, law, and data. When translation hardens into doctrine, systems […]
Post-stroke psychological exhaustion often reveals itself less in physical depletion than in the operant futility of psychic investments once thought indispensable. Much of the energy that is demanded—whether in meeting social obligations, navigating institutional protocols, or maintaining the relational tissue of external expectations—proves to contribute little to healing. Instead, it perpetuates an endless circuit of […]
The world is hard enough as it stands. We all carry burdens, and most of us will eventually stumble under the weight of physical decline, mental strain, or spiritual confusion. That is the shared condition—problems are not optional. Yet there is a difference between carrying those burdens and becoming a burden; between being flawed and […]
Helmuth von Moltke the Elder, writing in the 19th century, observed that no plan of operations could be expected to survive first contact with the enemy. His insight was not that planning was useless, but that the continuity of command intent required adaptation under conditions of uncertainty. Strategy, as Moltke framed it, could not be […]
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 […]
Pandemic metamorphosis is upon us all and among all the darkness and tragedy there will be new life. Patterns of behaviour carry us, much as does language, in many ways much more than we could ever carry, possess or assert control over them and regardless of these fragile egos we are all compelled (as Subjects […]
Jimi Hendrix is one of those icons and representational idioms that provide a counter-cultural mnemonic eloquence. His presence is resonant with Jim Morrison, a prismatic Dark Side of the Moon, posters of Henry Fonda on his Harley in Easy Rider. The cultural nodes of these idioms are undergoing constant representational metamorphosis and this artistic thread […]

While it is true that there is no such thing as a perfect political system, some forms of social organisation clearly possess greater resilience than others. This current epidemiological catastrophe is clear evidence of the implicit failures of authoritarian information control. https://twitter.com/howroute/status/1225480460979056642?s=09 The mechanical, austere logical function of authoritarian states generates deep fragility in their […]
The ancient emergence of information-encoding mechanisms that seek both optimal self-replication and resilience against catastrophic loss of components and sub-systems – in contemporary manifestation.
Do we make our own luck or does luck and the blind power of statistical necessity make us?
Radically divergent (or convergent) approaches face uphill battles against an entrenched intellectual intransigence and institutional conservatism.
