From the outset, holism concerns not wholes but the strange seam between parts. From Plato’s Forms and Spinoza’s substance to cybernetics, ecology, and dynamical systems, holism persists as an intuition of unity. Each turn sought not larger aggregates but subtler grammars of interaction—non-linear feedbacks, attractor basins, emergent orders. Unorthodox approaches—Prigogine’s dissipative structures, Bohm’s implicate order, […]
Most certainly, do not simply believe in something simply because it’s a cool or conpelling story. What, however, would it mean for there to be new physics here?
The first nation to engage in a treaty to leverage a learning relationship with an extraterrestrial civilisation shall likely find themselves so vastly overwhelmed by intelligence, technology and (all associated, downstream) complexity that they might later wish they had simply stayed in a cave sharpening the pointy sticks with which humans are so prone to […]
Our fundamental theories of physics are only one experimentally validated “local minima” in a much vaster logical as mathematical and material cartography of possibility. If there is something fundamental that we are not understanding here, it represents a salient moment to ponder which of our axioms are incomplete, misinformed or obsolete. That is the point […]
The “Laws of Physics” as we know them may be just one (relatively) self-consistent cross-section, constellation or “slice” through the state-space of all possible optimally-concise descriptions and mathematical (or logical) entities. We should not be so surprised to discover that there is more than one way to cut this cake, nor that other entities (or […]
