I'd be really interested in hearing your thoughts on the cybernetic potentials of blockchain based systems, especially DAOs. Holochain is still not in production so it still feels a bit early to be talking about it too much and DAOs are already up and running on blockchains and not on Holochain.
Thanks for the great article! I'd be really grateful if you could tell me your source for the image of the 4 growing vortexes with iteration numbers underneath (it's the 6th image down below your description of Heather Marsh). I've seen a similar image before and can't place it! Where did you find that one?
This is one of several great articles you have written. I can’t thank you enough.
I wanted to add a book that changed my entire way of looking at the world, a book that I consider to be a foundational book in Cybernetics - An Introduction to Cybernetics by W. Ross Ashby. Although I bought the book and read it in the late 70’s, it is a free pdf that is available at Principia Cybernetica website (the book was donated to the public domain by his family estate). The idea of this textbook is to make the reader a functioning cyberneticist. It contains problems at the end of every chapter and solutions at the end of the book. After reading the book, you should be able to read and understand (for example) Shannon’s thesis on Information Theory with full comprehension. To me, this is a book that made a critical difference.
I’m a big fan of Buckminster Fuller, Jon Von Neumann, and Stafford Beer as well. But, I see so many authors I would love to read.
Very useful, thanks for this.

like the array of topics, though I think they rather deserve their own articles first than a compendium
