And thus with some sort of differentiation. So that is indeed the kind of holism that both physics and logic represent. The dialectic of global integr...
Just as a data point, colour perception is much more complicated. See colour constancy for a start. What we "see" is the world as we imagine it in a g...
The triadic structure is now your "unconditioned or unmade". It is the inescapable outcome of anything striving to occur at all. So rather than starti...
Imagine your community if there were no Kentucky Fried outlets or supermarkets selling industrial food. And people just had to start digging up their ...
Do you mean how does causality as imagined by physics relate to causality as imagined by logic? Do they share the same root or are they antithetic? Is...
In being holistic, they would be irreducible to atomic events, but perfectly reducible to semiotic structures – the triadic structure of a hierarchica...
The basic wrong assumption here is that knowledge is information accumulation rather than information discard. The world is complex. And so the mind s...
Sure one can equate gene regulated metabolic networks to wind sculpted sand dunes in broad dissipative structure language and then apply Szostak’s not...
Nope. Enzymes are large mechanical structures. Decohered and classical for all intents and purposes. But they can dip their toe into the quantum realm...
Struth. Just read my thread on is/ought ethics as an exercise in applied systems science. Local-global bound the thirdness that is their hierarchicall...
Again, this could not be more wrong. Dialectical argument is no use unless it achieves the rigour of a dichotomy – that which arrives at where it is g...
But I am accepting your distinction that there is internal growth and external growth in some useful sense. And one may be prioritised at the expense ...
Thanks for the reminder! I had quite forgotten that Lawvere had found Peirce’s antithesis between generality and vagueness to be a full categorical ad...
There you go. Sniffing after the idealist faction and so being able to set it against some realist counter-faction. Finding the political divides as a...
But ecologically growth doesn’t have to end. The limits to growth are limits in terms of certain unchecked exponentials. Population. Atmospheric carbo...
What was the Newtonian dream? A single act of measurement - the initial conditions of a logically determined system - would tell its story for all tim...
Still sticking it to a strawman? Actually read Hegel why don't you. Here for example an account.... And so on with of course increasingly less clarity...
But perhaps not clearly? There is still this tendency to slide from an epistemic to ontic position in your choice of words. I add the scare quotes to ...
But what else did Layzer label it in calling it "negative entropy/possible information". Negentropy was the term Schrödinger popularised back in the 1...
Not so quick. An understanding is an Umwelt. It is the manufacturing, or co-dependent arising, of the subjective and the object, the self and its worl...
I would say "all" is an over-estimate. And here is where we would need to contrast the tech green promises vs the harsh ecological realities. A few ye...
As I say, I am officially baffled about how you deal with information. For example I made this comment in a post last year. https://www.informationphi...
The point is epistemic. And it reflects the semiotic fact that the mind must reduce reality to a system of signs. The world is a blooming, buzzing con...
So for some reason it is OK for you to use commonsense to make inferences about things you can’t directly know, but science as a formal method for mak...
More than that I would say. I would point to how the logic of the Yin-Yang, co-dependent arising, Aristotelean hylomorphism, Hegelianism, Naturphilosp...
Sorry. Must have been someone else complaining about the fact science has arrived at the conclusion that reality is fundamentally irreducible in the d...
Or let the maths decide what we might believe about that. Hence ontic structural realism as the new Platonic sounding metaphysics that has arisen out ...
Some fact checking.... So in all ways the world I remember growing up in. But then I was lucky with my parents and circumstances. These imaginings wer...
Even dialectics requires more effort than that. Tacking on not to A to arrive at not-A is the shallow approach of other logics perhaps. But it clearly...
What am I supposed to do with your solipsistic pronouncements? If you have comprehension failures then that’s on you. I’ll get out the world’s smalles...
It’s the meme that scaled. Maslow founded positive psychology in the 1950s. I thought you were going to tell me? But all communication is propaganda i...
Yet you seem to claim that for “classical logic”? And just to remind, in case you really did miss it, I don’t defend Hegel as the final word here. I d...
If this is your belief then in what sense are you interested in a real inquiry into solutions? And you should steer well clear of me as all I’ve got n...
Oh the irony! It stands against a person and so also the method. Your suspicion has thus been justly confirmed? Sounds legit, but what would Wittgenst...
Yep. So that is what I'm talking about as the tech entrepreneur model. And it became the social entrepreneur model about 20 years ago. It was supposed...
No. I'm pointing out how the sociology of science operates. NASA wants to remain employed by the US taxpayer. The cold war arms race is over. The Mars...
What was I even thinking. Ukraine shows that cheap drones would quickly put paid to inbound refugee ships. Citizen militias could crowd fund their own...
You have to grow enough to just to stand still as an organism. So as a going concern, an organism has to earn a margin on its entropifying sufficient ...
It is a law of economics, not physics, of course. So not so much a law but a business projection startling enough to make folk wake up to what scaling...
Comedy plays well. But as moral philosophy, we would soon have the anti-natalists hammering on the door. And as lived experience in the moneyed world,...
OK. That sketches out the failures of the past. None of which were actually failures as all were ideas that scaled in the sense of grabbing some sizea...
