Community for @hyp 2025 writing project, "The Mirror and the Loom." About how recursive pattern recognition explains all sorts of phenomena across biology, cognition, economics and much more. Access to early drafts and some other goodies here.

Fascinating. How to move in the world when thinking is slow.

This mfer is on it. The mirror and the loom are inseparable from the weaver.
"So the defensible statement is not "no low-entropy past except our bias." It is that the low-entropy past is perspectival yet mandatory: nothing observer-independent fixes it, and no recording, predicting, persisting observer on this branch can do without positing it. That is reality-as-horizon applied to the past. The low-entropy past is a horizon-condition, not an object behind the curtain, and not a bias you can shrug off. The bias reading and the realist reading both miss it; the horizon reading is the one your framework already licenses."

Been working on a simulation of Mirror-Loom principles. Starting with very simple models of Wolfram's 256 cellular automaton rules.
Would love questions, feedback.

"Every observation is a compression."
Honestly this seems so obvious but is at the root of so much misunderstanding. Reality is an asymptote, not a place we can access. It's a horizon we will forever chase.

Transjective. A word to know.
Transjective describes realities, truths, and meanings that are neither strictly objective (existing independently in the world) nor subjective (existing solely in the mind). Instead, it refers to a co-created relationship that emerges from the interaction between an observer (the subject) and their environment (the object).
From John Vervaeke.

Is the universe a hologram?
The only one you know is.
It is created by you between your ears.

The great recursion is becoming a fertile ground for next generation of scientists.
How to describe the universe as a model within a part of that same universe?
Cognitive science, FEP and active inference are leading candidates for the bridge between subjective/objective.

Finally getting into this as it’s been on my stack forever from late great EO Wilson who i met briefly once.
Not what i expected. It’s about the subjective view and “what it’s like” to be.
A trend in science thinking lately: the objective view may have limits, the subjective, not so much. It’s infinite. ☯️
