Deze week hebben we Brain of the Firm afgerond met het bespreken van hoofdstukken 18, 19 en 20. Daarmee hebben we nu ook een mijlpaaltje aangetikt sinds onze eerste sessie twee jaar geleden!
Volgende maand beginnen met The Heart of Enterprise. Wil je meedoen? Meld je aan, door bijvoorbeeld te reageren op deze post, of anders een email te sturen naar info [at] cybernetica [punt] nu.

Having now finished Brain of the Firm, I’m extra saddened with the fall of the Allende government, today in 1973.
Incredible things were achieved in project Cybersyn, with extremely limited means, only to be destroyed by the Pinochet junta.

#ArtificialConsciousness: Why Current #AI Presents Us with the Perfect #Illusion
It’s a state-of-the-art assessment somewhere at the intersection of #neurophilosophy, #cybernetics, and the slightly uncomfortable question of whether we’re actually striving for #AC/DC or merely losing ourselves in a perfect anthropomorphic #simulation.

Gaia hypothesis (Evolution 🧬)
The Gaia hypothesis, also known as the Gaia theory, Gaia paradigm, or the Gaia principle, proposes that living organisms interact with their inorganic surroundings on Earth to form a synergistic and self-regulating complex system that helps to maintain and perpetuate the conditions for life on the planet.

🌐❓Why #Reality is #Relations Not #Objects – Do We Need a New #Philosophy of the #NaturalSciences?
Modern #metaphysics does not need to hide behind the natural #sciences. Rather, it serves as a compass for a scientific-theoretical framework.

It's a Tool
It's a Person
It's a Hypervigilance ProblemThe 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.
We're watching the wine glass break in real time. 🍷

From Aristotle's laws of thought to Russell's Theory of Types, self-reference has been banned. But is it a mistake, or is it essential to reality?
The second essay in the Containment series recalls the Calculus of Indications of George Spencer-Brown. It is a post-symbolic foundation of rigorous thinking. This calculus starts earlier, with no assumptions, and continues further, in the forbidden lands of self-reference.

@glyph
I hear you.My favourite (perhaps less jarring?) example is when a court declares they have found someone guilty, and that their threshold of guilt is "on balance of odds".
I look at the lawyers and the witnesses and realise that none of them has studied actuarial or probability mathematics. I wouldn't even trust them to understand a bet on the horses. For a scientist to watch them is like observing a cargo cult. Worse, I am sure, is for a scientist to find themselves on the receiving end of such a court.
I would offer the meagre consolation that you can see the feedback loops that drive them to behave so, where they think themselves to have free will.

#RobertRosen in Anticipatory Systems refers to Jacques Ellul's analysis of the "technological imperative" - something to think over, especially for planners, managers, or engineers. Rosen's angle exposes the infinite regress in the attempt to objectively control a "system of interest", including the avoidance of side effects. In the end it's human activity, and #cybernetics is accountable for the #ethics of its #morality. #sociology #planning #philosophy #VirtueEthics

Constraints and Indications • 2
• https://inquiryintoinquiry.com/2024/07/04/constraints-and-indications-2-a/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.

Hello w̶o̶r̶l̶d̶ Set-of-interconnected-self-actualising-machines!
I intend this to be somewhat of an introduction, although I do realise that it would constitute a rather bizarre greeting in real life. This won't be a personal account, by that I mean I don't intend to post personal content (i.e. about my real world identity). This isn't really for anonymity, despite admittedly being quite a shy person, I think it's more to do with not wanting to attempt a serious explanation of my context, something which I doubt is achievable through this medium. For me underrepresentation is better than misrepresentation, although I understand if people find my presentation here dishonest or unaccountable.
I'll use this account partly for listening, a sampling spoon through which to experience the soup of conversation and thought. I'll also do some tooting, I like this word, I might have said contributing, tossing new, or maybe reused, ingredients into the soup, but that gives the impression, I think, of some final objective, an endpoint. Most likely, listening will be the larger of these two parts, and at least for the short term, both parts, the whole, will occupy very little of my time. Expect sporadicity and inconsistency!
I also wanted to say something about what I am interested in, this is difficult since if I just say a lot of words then what is there to relate my meaning, my intentions, to the meaning which you understand? "Language disguises thought" - Wittgenstein. Well after much deliberation and many sleepless nights I decided to... just say a lot of words, although do bear in mind that the following list is just that, merely a collection of words that I, at the time of writing, happened to perceive as having meanings that corresponded, perhaps imperfectly, to topics that I am interested in. Interested does not necessarily mean fully-endorse/believe/would-describe-myself-as/is-knowledgeable-about.
