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 […]
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 […]
General reflection – binary opposition: Most constellations of word pairs, bundled vocabularies and variously symmetrical semantic dichotomies in our linguistic experience represent gradients of difference. This presence of idiomatic antitheses generates ambiguity, uncertainty, confusion, miscommunication. However, we should never just observe the words and the variously transient sociotechnical vocabularies that orbit them. I have been […]
