The latest updates, reflections, and curiosities:
Welcome to new explorers:
If you’re reading this in the site’s earliest days, know you’re ahead of the crowd. Experiments, essays, and surprises are taking shape behind the scenes—thanks for wandering in early.
- 🧬 Recursive Observation Series Launch
- The official kickoff: essays on structure, observation, and recursive constraint.
- 🪜 The Principle of Constraint — Revealing the Rungs on Reality’s Ladder
- Before anything else, there are constraints. Reality is what satisfies them.
- 👁️ The Observer Was Never Missing
- Observation isn’t mystical—structure already “observes” by persisting.
- 🌀 The First Filter (ε₁)
- Where constraint first filters what endures.
- 🧵 What Is a Filter, Really?
- Filtering as logical structure—not process, not collapse.
- 🌌 Who Collapses What, When?
- Collapse reframed as exclusion of incoherent futures.
- ✨ Quantum Experiments Revisited
- Constraint explains the “strangeness” of measurement.
- 🐈⬛ Paradoxes Reconsidered — From Cat to Constraint
- Cat, Monty Hall, and more: all paradoxes resolved by constraint.
- 🕰️ Deepening into ε₂ — Memory, Irreversibility, and the Arrow of Constraint
- How memory and the arrow of time emerge from structural necessity.
- 🧩 The Price of Forgetting — Paradoxes of Memory and Collapse
- Maxwell’s demon. Landauer’s principle. Black hole information loss. This essay revisits the most enduring paradoxes of irreversibility—and shows how each dissolves when memory is seen not as a thing, but as a structural constraint. What survives is what cannot be undone.
- 🌀 What’s the Difference Between Itness and Itchiness?
- Some fun with philosophy and definitions.
- 🧠 Chapter 2 Teaser Now Live
- Preview of what’s coming in the main text.
- 🦉 Ratiocination, or Rationalization?
- Why cleverness is not enough: the ancient and modern trap of intelligence turned to self-justification. Featuring Bacon, James, and recent cognitive science.
- 🗑️ Garbage In, Garbage Out
- Wisdom begins not with clever reasoning, but with cleaner input. This essay explores how even the brightest minds are prone to error when unexamined assumptions sneak in—and why humility matters more than intellect.
What’s next?
New features (some playful, some philosophical) are on the way. Stay tuned—and if you’re the site’s first mysterious subscriber, thank you for your curiosity.
