Liquid democracy meets ontological design divergence, framing meaning making and sense-making as a divergent fractal of overton-windows; but also simultaneously disavowing epistemic knowledge gathering by way of framing truth seeking as mere local consensus? https://t.co/apm31nZL1U

I wonder what happens if you use chaotic networks of humans to sample a state space. Does it reproduce fat tails?https://t.co/TJqSVVWikp

I wonder what happens if you use chaotic networks of genetic interference tied to a shared resource space. Does it reproduce fat tails?https://t.co/0VkpcQFVUW

I wonder what happens if you use chaotic networks of information transfer among heterogeneous nodes tied to a shared resource space. Does it reproduce fat tails?Well, I feel familiar with Taleb's theories b/cI was interested in fuzzy logic as a child.https://t.co/O5LdsH5IvT

That Bart Kosko guy wrote about fat tails in that https://t.co/qvQPczTOhs essay a year before Taleb's book came out.I read Kosko's book in highschool because an interst in Chaos Theory in Jurassic park https://t.co/3EJR3E1U9dhttps://t.co/Q0M9K936gn

Did you know that Crichton decided he'd have better luck getting his ideas out into society via a book than publishing something in an academic journal?An idea to sleep in your head, until awakened. https://t.co/OROPsQpIC4

@_djpn Chaos theory being applicable in biology because it is in a sense a description of how one travels between two points ala (homotopy) in the space of possible evolutions of an organism, (or a chemical system)https://t.co/PGMtAVnXCr

If I believed the universe was conspiring to inform me about the world, I'd believe people were planting books at the donation bin just for me. Instead I choose to believe I'm just tapping into a large diaspora of ideas, of which I am but a pawn in an infinite game of chess.

Sometimes I think too much about Chaos Theory in the context of the net effect of strange attractors.What are the chances of random noise depositing this book in my lap?https://t.co/Hrjvx4O6az

Just found a $0.50 copy of a book written in 1987 by a Vermonter. I flipped it open and found a section on decentralization; decided to pick it up. https://t.co/LJzmIUBbxRCan anyone recommend more recent stuff by @tom_peters? Seems like he was way ahead of the curve.

"What do you think? Is the Chaos Theory still applicable in today’s business companies? And if so, how do you use it and what are the general results? Are the basics the same or are there new ones?"https://t.co/d0APHob6bS

"Many non-chaotic systems are ‘solvable’. This means that we can determine the ‘trajectory’, a line or curve describing the path the system will follow. We can also determine something called an ‘attractor’"https://t.co/W6Xbybdvax

Imagine believing truth can be inferred democratically by way of rational postulations of facts & debate. Certainly won't devolve into bunch of concern troll rule lawyer'ing to support alternative model of reality. Or naive models winning by default.https://t.co/HQ1rEbjr1g https://t.co/XK1oMSLFuQ

I always thought virility and virality (virus) were the same latin root. But it turns out that virus (poision/slimey) is not the same as vir (men).Or is it? Etymologically speaking, 'virus' was considered the venom of a snake.I could see that as a really really old dick joke.
