Occurrence Theory II: The Born Exegeses and the Mathematical Toll of Emergence

Yet, if Occurrence Theory is to be a predictive, physical description of reality rather than a mathematical art project, we must pay the exact mathematical toll that physics demands. We cannot rely on poetic analogies. We must show exactly how the continuous, dissipative, non-associative steps of the sedenionic engine are read out—via the five Born Exegeses—to recover the smooth, conservative, and unitary laws of quantum field theory

Diaphorum 2: Spencer-Brown’s Laws of Formless

In Laws of Form, I began with the mark: the act of drawing a distinction. / 
Yet the mark itself presupposes something deeper--
a prior domain in which no geometry is given. / 
Here I present a successor:
The Laws of Formless,
a calculus that precedes the making of form…

A Language With No ‘=’: My Journey to Homoiconic C

came of age in the 1980s, as the C programming language and UNIX operating system were becoming the gold standard for "serious" computing. I was taught that: - Lisp reflects how computers **think** - C reflects how computers **work** - Shell scripts reflect how humans **write** I never questioned this split ....
