Pavel outlines how complexity science provides conceptual tools that closely parallel core ideas in Eastern philosophy.
Concepts such as feedback loops, emergence, scaling laws and self-organization resonate strongly with Buddhist and Daoist notions of dependent origination, impermanence, and non-residstance.
Complexity science, in this view, offers a “hard-science” language for ideas that contemplative traditions have long explored experientially.
Pavel Chvykov is a founder of the Complexity-Contemplation research community. He has also written on these topics here, and shares other technical and philosophical essays, as well as event announcements and updates, on his blog.
