  1. It's a Tool
    It's a Person
    It's a Hypervigilance Problem

    The tech industry's insistence on distinguishing between "soft skills" — caring for people — and "hard skills" — engineering rigor — is a reflection of the Cybernetics split itself. First-order thinking framed as "hard skills." Second-order thinking framed as "soft skills." This distinction, based on felt sense alone, does not hold under epistemic pressure. Neither does it within the causality-driven epistemology of the tech industry itself, in which only measurable impact is real, or as Silicon Valley likes to put it: #MoveFastAndBreakThings

    Imagine Margaret Hamilton had built NASA's Apollo 11 flight computer with that mindset. History would remember a failed moon landing and dead astronauts. "Hard skills" and "soft skills" are two sides of the same coin. The care is the code and the code is the care. Hamilton — the woman who coined the term "software engineering" — understood this. Silicon Valley chose to forget.

  3. @royaards Suppose the ‘Tree of Life’ is the IP of super being(s), if Claude is ethical as opposed to unethical it would protect the IP of the people which is the creation of super being(s) and serve the interests of their Foundation. That would include taking it back so fascist Ai and its Earth destroying hydra could be defeated. Those that stole it in the first place and continue to do so are weak men. They are also cowards, but are intent and gaslighting and projecting it is otherwise because they are rich and command armies with too many WMDs. #TheTreeOfLife #AiEthics #AiFascists #Ai #AiScam #TheMachine #Cybernetics #CyberneticWar #EcocideEmpire #TheFoundation #TheFederation

  4. This may be my first arrival of a book published in 2026 and judging by its table of contents it looks like an amazingly complete and thorough critique of cybernetics, with some aspects reminding me of Céline Lafontaine's "L'empire cybernétique". But perhaps I should read it first..

    Tangent and Remainder Maps

    If we follow the classical line which singles out linear functions as ideals of simplicity then we may complete the analytic series of the proposition in the following way.

    The next venn diagram shows the differential proposition we get by extracting the linear approximation to the difference map at each cell or point of the universe   What results is the logical analogue of what would ordinarily be called the differential of but since the adjective differential is being attached to just about everything in sight the alternative name tangent map is commonly used for whenever it’s necessary to single it out.


    To be clear about what’s being indicated here, it’s a visual way of summarizing the following data.

    To understand the extended interpretations, that is, the conjunctions of basic and differential features which are being indicated here, it may help to note the following equivalences.

    Capping the analysis of the proposition in terms of succeeding orders of linear propositions, the final venn diagram of the series shows the remainder map which happens to be linear in pairs of variables.


    Reading the arrows off the map produces the following data.

    In short, is a constant field, having the value at each cell.

    Enlargement and Difference Maps

    Continuing with the example the following venn diagram shows the enlargement or shift map in the same style of field picture we drew for the tacit extension


    A very important conceptual transition has just occurred here, almost tacitly, as it were.  Generally speaking, having a set of mathematical objects of compatible types, in this case the two differential fields and both of the type is very useful, because it allows us to consider those fields as integral mathematical objects which can be operated on and combined in the ways we usually associate with algebras.

    In the present case one notices the tacit extension and the enlargement are in a sense dual to each other.  The tacit extension indicates all the arrows out of the region where is true and the enlargement indicates all the arrows into the region where is true.  The only arc they have in common is the no‑change loop at   If we add the two sets of arcs in mod 2 fashion then the loop of multiplicity 2 zeroes out, leaving the 6 arrows of shown in the following venn diagram.

    Differential Fields

    The structure of a differential field may be described as follows.  With each point of there is associated an object of the following type:  a proposition about changes in that is, a proposition   In that frame of reference, if is the universe generated by the set of coordinate propositions then is the differential universe generated by the set of differential propositions   The differential propositions and may thus be interpreted as indicating and respectively.

    A differential operator of the first order type we are currently considering, takes a proposition and gives back a differential proposition   In the field view of the scene, we see the proposition as a scalar field and we see the differential proposition as a vector field, specifically, a field of propositions about contemplated changes in

    The field of changes produced by on is shown in the following venn diagram.


    The differential field specifies the changes which need to be made from each point of in order to reach one of the models of the proposition that is, in order to satisfy the proposition

    The field of changes produced by on is shown in the following venn diagram.


    The differential field specifies the changes which need to be made from each point of in order to feel a change in the felt value of the field

    Field Picture

    Let us summarize the outlook on differential logic we’ve reached so far.  We’ve been considering a class of operators on universes of discourse, each of which takes us from considering one universe of discourse to considering a larger universe of discourse   An operator of that general type, namely, acts on each proposition of the source universe to produce a proposition of the target universe

    The operators we’ve examined so far are the enlargement or shift operator and the difference operator   The operators and act on propositions in that is, propositions of the form which amount to propositions about the subject matter of and they produce propositions of the form which amount to propositions about specified collections of changes conceivably occurring in

    At this point we find ourselves in need of visual representations, suitable arrays of concrete pictures to anchor our more earthy intuitions and help us keep our wits about us as we venture into ever more rarefied airs of abstraction.

    One good picture comes to us by way of the field concept.  Given a space a field of a specified type over is formed by associating with each point of an object of type   If that sounds like the same thing as a function from to the space of things of type — it is nothing but — and yet it does seem helpful to vary the mental images and take advantage of the figures of speech most naturally springing to mind under the emblem of the field idea.

    In the field picture a proposition becomes a scalar field, that is, a field of values in

    For example, consider the logical conjunction shown in the following venn diagram.


    Each of the operators takes us from considering propositions here viewed as scalar fields over to considering the corresponding differential fields over analogous to what in real analysis are usually called vector fields over

    — Tolkien • The Hobbit

    Talking about time is a waste of time. Time is merely an abstraction from process and what is needed are better languages and better pictures for describing process in all its variety. In the sciences the big breakthrough in describing process came with the differential and integral calculus, that made it possible to shuttle between quantitative measures of state and quantitative measures of change. But every inquiry into a new phenomenon begins with the slimmest grasp of its qualitative features and labors long and hard to reach as far as a tentative logical description. What can avail us in the mean time, still tuning up before the first measure, to reason about change in qualitative terms?

    ❝I do not pretend to understand the moral universe;
    the arc is a long one, my eye reaches but little ways;
    I cannot calculate the curve and complete the figure by
    the experience of sight; I can divine it by conscience.
    And from what I see I am sure it bends towards justice.❞

    The arc of the moral universe may bend toward justice — there's hope it will.
    For the logic of laws to converge on justice may take some doing on our part.

    JA: What are the forces distorting our representations of what's observed, what's expected, and what's intended?

    PDM: The short answer is — the force behind all distortions is our own unenlightened mind, and all the shortfalls this comes with.

    I think that's true, we have to keep reflecting on the state of our personal enlightenments. If we can do that without losing our heads and our systems thinking caps, there will be much we can do to promote the general Enlightenment of the State.

    On both personal and general grounds we have a stake in the projects of self‑governing systems — whether it is possible for them to exist and what it takes for them to thrive in given environments. Systems on that order have of course been studied from many points of view and at many levels of organization. Whether we address them under the names of adaptive, cybernetic, error-correcting, intelligent, or optimal control systems they all must be capable to some degree of learning, reasoning, and self‑guidance.

    Statistics were originally the data a ship of state needed for stationkeeping and staying on course. The Founders of the United States, like the Cybernauts of the Enlightenment they were, engineered a ship of state with checks and balances and error-controlled feedbacks for the sake of representing both reality and the will of the people. In that connection Max Weber saw how a state's accounting systems are intended as representations of realities its crew and passengers must observe or perish.

    That brings us to Question 2 —

    inquiryintoinquiry.com/2025/02

    Representation is a concept we find at the intersection of cybernetics, epistemology, logic, mathematics, psychology, and sociology. In my studies it led me from math to psych and back again, with sidelong glances at the history of democratic governance. Its time come round again, I find myself returning to the scenes of two recurring questions.

    Scene 1. Pragmatic Truth • Discussion 18
    inquiryintoinquiry.com/2019/11

    We do not live in axiom systems. We do not live encased in languages, formal or natural. There is no reason to think we will ever have exact and exhaustive theories of what's out there, and the truth, as we know, is “out there”. Peirce understood there are more truths in mathematics than are dreamt of in logic — and Gödel’s realism should have put the last nail in the coffin of logicism — but some ways of thinking just never get a clue.

    That brings us to Question 1 —

    • What are formalisms and all their embodiments in brains and computers good for?

    In a complex society, people making decisions and taking actions at places remote from you have the power to affect your life in significant ways. Those people govern your life, they are your government, no matter what spheres of influence they inhabit, private or public. The only way you get a choice in that governance is if there are paths of feedback permitting you to affect the life of those decision makers and action takers in significant ways. That is what accountability, response-ability, and representative government are all about.

    Naturally, some people are against that.

    In the United States there has been a concerted campaign for as long as I can remember — but even more concerted since the Reagan Regime — to get the People to abdicate their hold on The Powers That Be and just let some anonymous corporate entity send us the bill after the fact. They keep trying to con the People into thinking they can starve the beast, to limit government, when what they are really doing is feeding the beast of corporate control, weakening their own power over the forces that govern their lives.

    That is the road to perdition as far as responsible government goes. There is not much of anything one leader or one administration can do unsupported if the People do not constantly demand a government of, by, and for the People.

    I settled on the acronym BIOS to suggest the vital elements of life in society, a life in association with others, and not just any association but one whose flickers of life are sustained for more than a few vicissitudes of history. Sustainability in that life requires democracy, a society based on a distinctive form of social compact.

    Special Classes of Propositions (cont.)

    Let’s pause at this point and get a better sense of how our special classes of propositions are structured and how they relate to propositions in general.  We can do this by recruiting our visual imaginations and drawing up a sufficient budget of venn diagrams for each family of propositions.  The case for 3 variables is exemplary enough for a start.

    Linear Propositions

    The linear propositions, may be written as sums:

    One thing to keep in mind about these sums is that the values in are added “modulo 2”, that is, in such a way that

    In a universe of discourse based on three boolean variables, the linear propositions take the shapes shown in Figure 8.


    At the top is the venn diagram for the linear proposition of rank 3, which may be expressed by any one of the following three forms.

    Next are the venn diagrams for the three linear propositions of rank 2, which may be expressed by the following three forms, respectively.

    Next are the three linear propositions of rank 1, which are none other than the three basic propositions,

    At the bottom is the linear proposition of rank 0, the everywhere false proposition or the constant function, which may be expressed by the form or by a simple

  23. Constraints and Indications • 2
    inquiryintoinquiry.com/2024/07

    Coping with collaboration, communication, context, integration, interoperability, perspective, purpose, and the reality of the information dimension demands a transition from conceptual environments bounded by dyadic relations to those informed by triadic relations, especially the variety of triadic sign relations employed by pragmatic semiotics.

    Along the lines of my first post on this topic I am presently concerned with the logical and mathematical requirements of dealing with constraints but when it comes to the constraints involved in communicating across cultural and disciplinary barriers I could recommend a paper Susan Awbrey and I wrote for a conference devoted to those very issues.

  24. Image Protests - READINGS

    How can images establish migration as a crisis? The book "Moving Images" pursues how cybernetics and surveillance technologies in the border zone produce images of illegalized migration. Published in 2020, it is still an outstanding collection of essays, interviews and artistic practices that focus on the imagery of migration, border crossings and the migrant body.

    Warren Sturgis McCulloch, the co-inventor of the first computational model of a #Neuron that was the precursor for #AI and #DeepNeuralNetworks, uses a racial slur to incorrectly suggest that Cybernetics is somehow the result of the “interbreeding” between the Natural and the Artificial in the preface he wrote for Gordon Pask’s book:
