What is truth. The moment we ask the question, we are already inside language, and everything that follows unfolds from that fact. Truth is not something we approach from outside, as a detached observer might inspect an object. It arises within sequences of tokens, within the games we play with them, within the structures we […]
Formal Abstract This document presents a formal, process-based theory of language, information, and dynamic meaning systems. Communication, cognition, identity, legitimacy, and truth are treated not as static entities but as temporally constituted processes sustained through repetition, coupling, and feedback within distributed fields. A minimal axiom set grounded in acts, timing, coupling, recursion, variation, and emergent […]
Ludwig Wittgenstein argued that the limits of language are the limits of the world, not as metaphor but as structural fact: what cannot be said cannot be thought in any stable form. Bertrand Russell pursued logical atomism to anchor meaning in precise correspondence, seeking a syntax that could mirror reality without residue. Charles Sanders Peirce […]
The rise of large language models has revived old questions about intelligence, utility, and personhood, but under altered conditions. From early ideas like the Turing test onward, personhood has been framed less as inner depth than as sufficient performance. What feels newly consequential is that systems designed to model, explain, and assist human experience increasingly […]
My position is that the most consequential features of language, meaning, and coordination cannot be exhaustively defined without being distorted, and that this is a structural necessity rather than a theoretical shortcoming. Certain terms must be taken as primitive, not out of convenience, but because definition is itself a secondary operation, already dependent on relational […]
Consciousness entails perspectival isolation. Subjective experience is necessarily local, bounded by the fact that one mind does not have direct access to another. Philosophy of mind, phenomenology, and cognitive science converge on this constraint, whether framed as first-person authority, privacy of qualia, or irreducible point of view. Language does not remove this barrier. It operationalises […]
In recent years, large language models have moved along a gradient from research artefacts into everyday infrastructure—search, email, design tools, call centres, legal drafting, medical triage. They operate by predicting the next token in a sequence, trained on vast corpora of text and code. Their fluency comes from compression, not comprehension. They do not possess […]
Meaning can be understood as relational invariance under transformation. In mathematics, invariance is what stays the same when everything else changes. In physics, such stability gives rise to conservation laws — momentum from translational symmetry, energy from temporal symmetry. Language behaves the same way: its meaning persists not through fixed definitions but through relationships that […]
When people speak about language, they often imagine that meaning sits inside words like a substance carried in a vessel. If only we could replace “false” words with “true” ones, communication would repair itself. The history of both linguistics and information theory shows something else: semantics does not precede use. It follows frequency. From signals […]
Fakes fly further and faster than facts because truth is not and never was the ground state of communication. Truth is IN language but it is not OF language: indeterminacy regarding semantics and truth is a primary method of linguistic system self-propagation. We should, perhaps, focus less on rubrics of culturally and psychologically self-validating (as […]
Context: More Dangerous’ Than Nukes—China And Russia Revealed To Be Suddenly Abandoning The U.S. Dollar For A Bitcoin, Ethereum And XRP-Inspired Rival Amid Crypto Price Pump. A cunning plan. I’m going to suggest that self-inflicted existential desperation makes strange bedfellows of technologies and autocrats. The strangest of all being the expected benefits of socioeconomic, cultural […]
Endemic epistemological blindspots are interesting. Systems of belief are always at some level self-referential tautologies. The one thing that they can never unproblematically represent is themselves. Consequently – models are inviolably incomplete but this is not a system bug, it is an indefinitely extensible introspective feature. It’s also an early waypoint in the journey of […]
