Universal Globalization

I am working on a program of study with colleagues in the US including 2 in Hawaii, NZ, Australia, Europe and myself in China, Asia on the Theory of Systems. Len Troncale our leader from the Ploytechnic university of California in Pomona is an inspirational genius andi never pick up anything he writes or says without gaining massively huge new insights. Last Friday afternoon WSA time we got talking on networks fractals and networks and the nature of what a general theory of systems might be. Len himself has begun constructing what he sees as the Periodic Table of Systems. I agree with him. That is what it is. A two dimensional structure for all the isomorphies from one system to an other.

One of our colleagues in the seminar, Janet McIntyre, is very insistent on the value of the mobius strip as a model for what systems may be about it is truly interesting for it is a two dimensional surface that can only have reality in three dimensions but if split in two forms two interlinked circles i.e. the two dimensions fall out but as two identical copies of the same thing. they can both appear in Len's Periodic Table and theri is a clear linkage between them.


An other key idea is that there are no structures only flows and that structure is an emergent perceptual artefact created by us to explain the discontinuities in the flows.

This all leads me without having quite yet been able to connect up all the dots together to Giles Pickfords beautifully succinct poem below which I published on this blog last year and to a new book:

Sedition is Curved by Giles Pickford

The universe is curved and so is endless time.
The Earth’s road is curved and all creatures walk this way.
There is something in it which hates a dead straight line.
So nature’s lovely, curly, random shapes hold sway.

But there is one deadly straight unnatural force
Which shows its hatred for the universal curve.
Tyranny drives with great speed in a linear course,
Piercing the rib cage of freedom. It does not swerve.

Sedition bows humbly to unnatural power.
Appearing bent, recalcitrant, with curled lip; it would
Resist tyranny at every turn, hour by hour
Until the universal arc of all that’s good

Bends arrow, spear, sword, cannon, each linear thing
Into a rounder shape. Thus the great circle of time
Completes its perennial quest, eradicating
Cruelest tyranny, the most unnatural crime.

Gilles Pickford wrote that sedition is curved. I concur. Everything flows on the surface, the mobius band that is the universe. This has three dimensions for an object that has two

Fast and slow flows create what we choose to call structure but is in fact simply an eddy in the flow of indeterminable but short duration.

I just had to put this incoherence out their because wrapped up in it are some truly profound ideas about the nature of the universe and our apparent understanding of it that just MUST be explored and will the Way give me the time ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
