Yes! Our collective imaginations shape the possibility space to a large degree https://t.co/9BeSEQZoko

Original Darwinian selection was random mutation interacting with changing environments culling less fit populations over time: not a developmental adaptive pressure lens

“The notion of complex adaptive systems thinking is epistemically suspect…” Because it implies systemic closure

In this field, relationships are always “threatening to appear,” composing a “stream brimming with pluripotentiality flow[ing] toward action.”

“The potential field—the array of vibratory centers—is infinite, therefore it has an infinite duration, which is to say, that it never actualizes. This is of course the very definition of the field—it is potential, not actual.” Zero net info content Pure noise == pure signal

Unlike the logic of complex adaptive systems which asks “what do we do now?,” the logic of complex potential states asks “what is possible from here?”

What is possible is infinite, but not exhaustive.

This is another characteristic of TCPS: coherent states leave traces that “subsist” in the field of potentials, even after they cease to exist in actuality.

“The uncanny process of Creativity” “The process is uncanny,” Connolly writes, “because creativity is neither the simple result of a profound intention, nor the realization of a preordained principle waiting to be elaborated.”

The future, likewise, will not be televised because it cannot be tracked—it will be a threshold event.

From the perspective of TCPS, the noise is meaningful because it has an implicit order—the interference patterns of the background “vibrations.

“each entity is an agent-unto-itself, a vital, radiating living center that emanates (vibrates, ripples) fields of protension—overlapping and interfering and resonating waves in multiple dimensions and scales.” See Donnie darko timeline shimmery orb thing thing

“It is a lens that can reveal key choice points in situations which otherwise have grown so recursive that we cannot even imagine poking just one toe out of the loop.”

“How can I create more life? What if I incorporated this question into every decision—small and large—in my everyday ordinary encounters? How might continual commitment to just this one principle create openings that reveal new choice points for action?”

Brilliant stuff from @bonnittaroy linking up Alexander, Whitehead, Simondon, complexity theory, theoretical physics, beauty, life and order https://t.co/cGZ8oRUooD
