War, Wealth and Wickedness

War, wealth and political insecurity reproduce the problems they ostensibly intend to resolve, sustaining destructive relationships whose continuity subsequently appears necessary.

France Protests: When Grievances Begin to Synchronise

A protest becomes something different when separate grievances begin moving at the same time. France offers a glimpse of how synchronisation amplifies communicative affect.

The Herd Reich: Machinery of Mass Influence

Nobody needs to control the machinery. Repeated communication changes what people notice, expect and respond to, gradually reshaping the culture and politics that emerge from those interactions.

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.

entrainment

Systems do not merely occupy space. They persist through timing, resonance, and the self-organising rhythms that sustain differential complexity.

simply synchrony: rhythmic structure of complexity

Civilisations fall into rhythms, and changing those rhythms changes the futures they can sustain.

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.

Applied Field Logic: Why?

The aim of Applied Field Logic is to provide a common mathematical language for describing (ie systemic) patterns of organised persistence.
