  • Attention is Agency

    Many systems—biological, social, cognitive, technological—don’t eliminate internal tensions; they govern them. At their core lies a structure: two enduring opposites and a mediating force. The opposites remain; the mediator governs their expression. This isn’t merely synthesis or compromise. This leads to agency.

  • The Mediator Triad

    At the base of many dynamic systems lies a familiar structure: two enduring opposites and a third element that governs their interaction. These are not static binaries—they are living polarities in active, mediated opposition: traits, values, forces, or strategies that remain in tension over time. Together, all three form a triad.

  • Fitness Through Gravity

    Justice, in its oldest and most durable sense, is not about fairness in the emotional or social sense. It is about fit—proportion, balance, scale. The Latin root ius speaks to structure: what is due, what aligns, what belongs in place. Justice in this mode is not reactive but architectural.

  • Homeostasis

    Homeostasis

    Homeostasis is the mechanism enabling organisms to maintain internal stability amidst external fluctuations. Achieved through feedback systems, it encompasses temperature, fluid balance, blood sugar, and pH regulation. Disruptions in homeostasis can be detrimental, leading to potential diseases or critical conditions.
