The (unwitting) yet structural necessity of unemployment in a self-preserving system. Long-term unemployment in Australia isn’t just a policy oversight—it’s a structural feature. Governments cycle through new programs, slogans, and initiatives, but the underlying machinery remains unchanged. It isn’t designed to solve the problem; it’s designed to administer it. To be more precise: the failure […]
System entanglement° is co-bordism°°: structure equals relation. Since relation precedes distinction, structure is the manifestation of pre-existing relational continuity. System self-entanglement is implicit: meaning arises as an inverse function of the impossibility of self-knowledge, just as some kind of value (as meaning, money) emerges from complex, relatively ambiguous constellations of relational indices, which accrue statistical […]
Logical Orbitˈlɒdʒɪkəl ˈɔːbɪt • nounA system sustained by recursive interdependence, where the whole emerges only through the mutual constraint of its internal relations. The deeper one peers into systems—neural, symbolic, economic, linguistic—the more they exhibit recursion not as behaviour but as ontology. From AI models training on data they recursively shape, to quantum fields that […]
Let’s propose the following:Extra-dimensional logic is a system of inference and relation in which entities are not defined by their internal content or fixed identity, but by their capacity to transform under multi-dimensional mappings. Here, dimension refers not merely to physical space or temporal sequence, but to any additional axis of relation—conceptual, structural, semantic, or […]
To reframe the Lagrangian in terms of deeper exploration of least action, entropy, and logical incompleteness, we begin by shifting the focus from the traditional mechanical interpretation of least action—the path that minimises energy expenditure—to a broader, more ontological interpretation. Here, the least action becomes an approximation towards a kind of dynamic equilibrium, not merely […]
Introduction In an era marked by unprecedented complexity, the quest to understand and address significant problems remains at the forefront of human endeavor. These problems—spanning disciplines such as physics, biology, mathematics, philosophy, and ecology—often defy permanent solutions. They are dynamic, evolving as we interact with them, and they challenge our conventional approaches to problem-solving. Amidst […]
Introduction In exploring the depths of complex systems and theoretical topology, I have uncovered a useful insight into the nature of self-containment and dynamic equilibrium. This chapter delves into the intricate relationships between interdependent systems that recursively contain each other, forming a unified whole whose essence is distributed across the entire surface of the system. […]
Institutional continuity (and all that follows) is reciprocally self-defined through assertions of regulatory control, surveillance, power and – yes – strategy; an interface and communications bridge or feedback loop of some sort forms and self-sustains in this way. This mirrors many a parochial epistemology, but – is the control system and model as adaptive as […]
There are, in general, two main ways to understand a complex system-of-systems. First, as an adaptive constellation of modularly decomposable artefacts, entities and sub-systems as subject to and expressions of orchestration and directed purpose – that is, in terms of its differentiated parts and their relationships. Later, as a bonded, binding proxy organism in which […]
Doctor Who is such a perennially fascinating character. Beyond the indefinitely extensible and Menger sponge-like topological vacuum of the TARDIS (“…but – its bigger on the inside!”) as transmission medium of unbounded self-inflection, the Doctor seems to only just have self-consciously begun to acknowledge an irreducible epistemological blindspot in his own narrative. This resembles, I […]
One system. Two sub-systems that each contain the other as a function of the communication and interdependent modelling they generate. Each sub-system contains the other and is bound in and as one unifying abstraction that only persists in the way it contains itself. It contains itself through the modularly decomposable differentiation of sub-systems that inflate […]
Relativistic spatio-temporal curvature and variable time dilation may be a key component in system formation, dependency and self-sustainment. The variable is a property of system clocks, themselves defined by the measure (or bandwidth) of complexity and entropy within which they find themselves entangled. Reciprocal functions map one system internal states to its environment and to […]
