Getting to binary isn't...binary
Current information technology hardware functions on a binary substrate of ones and zeros translated to electric gates (highly simplified!!), with lots of programming layers between that substrate and the code. That code controlling the hardware is something most of us don't understand. Over that, we're layering

Who-ness: an abstract map of an individual's processing factors
I wrangled with what to call this for years. Years. It is an extension of what we call accountability in information mechanics. I am rarely a fan of new taxonomy; I would much prefer a concerted effort to regain existing taxonomy that has had its meaning manipulated. In this instance,

Quadrants of social and physical environments
If there were a way to elegantly and with robust coherency represent four dimensions in a two dimensional format, this is one of the spots where I would use it. Our entire environment is deeply intertwingled. Each of these quadrants are affected by countless systems, and each of those systems

Clustering information
Something’s been noodling in the back of my mind since my mass-effort to provide some kind of supporting information for my book (700…

The funky variability of meaning as a lesson in taxonomy
Taxonomy discussions might be boring according to some perspectives, but they are periodically necessary. Originally published on Medium.

Allowing data to breathe: the impermanence of governance
There is a balance to be found in data governance.

Understanding system connectome
The way I’ve explained systems thinking was intended to help ground in a reasonably universal, physical medium that could be explored…

Systems are elastic
How systems rebalance is through and because of elasticity, and that elasticity is most prevalent in the connectome.
