What matters is how we treat others in the time that we have in this life, irrespective of relatedness or where one is from, or how one looks.
For those interested in emergence and computation, I have a new homepage and substack under construction. I am also on 🦋 at the same handle. jessicaflack.wordpress.com c4computation.substack.com
Through hourglass emergence, complexity begets complexity...is one of my favorite sayings. A cell is a blob of cytoplasm with a few organelles floating about—or so the textbooks teach and you probably learned in school. This massive over simplification continues to pervade…
Scaling down from human hand to cells, atoms and quarks ✍️
A potential renaissance is within our collective grasp. Several related but not yet widely known science advances are challenging old boundaries and revealing new sets of questions. These advances help inform our understanding of emergence, the evolution of the universe, and…
Two late afternoon views from Picacho Peak runs a couple of years ago. One of the most important things to remember is that in the end our decisions are our own and the opinions of others with respect to personal choices are irrelevant. Sooner is better.
A dewy Verbascum thapsus spotted on the Picacho peak trails this afternoon.
An AI economic scenario for consideration: Most writing on the economic implications of AI either focuses on job loss—dividing into discussions about whether AI will take jobs from knowledge or unskilled workers—or focuses on performance improvements as workers across domains…
Wheeler, who cites Wiliam James in his it-from-bit article (link below), wanted to know how a vision of one world arises out of the information-gathering activities of many observer-participants. Essentially about collective computation, it's remarkable to think this question…
The entropy transition that occurs during hourglass emergence potentially underlies an 'information-theoretic channel switch' (from micro-macro to macro-macro), extending Shannon's theory of information as uncertainty reduction (or surprise) to account for Weaver's semantic and…
Can entropy transitions observed initially in biological systems potentially account for the wavelike properties (behavior?) of electrons, photons, and other objects in quantum cosmology? More on this question and other possible parallels in Babel Blog on my website.…

The irony of The Glass House—and Modernism Extrema—is that it is a distillation that requires to maintain its clean-lined, low dimensional beauty hidden recursion and complexity. In other words it is only realizeable within sactioned spaces—a point made obliquely by Yeats in…
Murray and Jim Hartle together in Murray's institute office. Jim and Murray had an ongoing quantum cosmology collaboration, which brought Jim frequently to Santa Fe. Several years ago Jim and I, with others, co-organized an institute workshop on the arrows of time. Photo…
These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. . . Trust first. 🤨
How firm Eternity must look To crumbling men like me The only Adamant Estate In all Identity — How mighty to the insecure Thy Physiognomy To whom not any Face cohere — Unless concealed in thee ‐‐----------- In this short Life that only lasts an hour How much — how little — is…

Gifted leaders do not censor and suppress innovation that advances understanding. They shepherd it by helping to create research + societal infrastructure that supports it and by helping to cultivate public understanding and engagement. Ramanujan died at age 32. Turing died at…
If we truly prized the advancement of knowledge—rather than harangued, censored, medicated or relegated to mascot those whose whose insights challenged our worldviews and ultimately expanded horizons—I suspect we’d be far more likely to live life in a state of “radical amazement“…
This photograph captures the close friendship of Murray and Cormac. They each had an impeccable and unique aesthetic sense that permeated their preferences from language to fashion to architecture to nomenclature and taxonomy. Photo credit: TBD
