Applied Field Logic: From Field-Level Principles to Domain-Level Practice

Applied Field Logic functions as a general analytical framework through which organisational regularities become comparable across otherwise unrelated domains. Advanced cybernetics.

irony age

Every age reaches for old stories to explain new realities. The irony is that most stories survive not because (or even if) they are true, but because they are easy to transmit, to remember, to tell.

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.
