BrainBrains: Remembering...

The areas of the brain involved in the cognitive processes of remembering, call it short term, medium term, working memory, whatever one wishes to call it, the areas of the brain involved exhibit only effects of a systemic multicausality that (co)implicates cellular and infra-cellular levels and respective quantum fields for the sustainability and respective integrity of the organisms, in which…

...where there are entities...

Where there are things, entities, there are fields, necessarily, and there is no field of relations, of sustainability, without gravity, therefore, there is no field of relations, of sustainability, without electromagnetism, if this is visible at the level of the effects, or not, depends upon the dynamics of the field, depends upon what is needed, but that does not mean in no way at all that the…

Crisis?! Crisis of what?!

Crisis?! Crisis of what?! Right..., just crisis! Portugal, Greece, Cyprus, and so on…, the objective is not, and never was that of balancing the States’ accounts and resolving the problem of Countries' debt crises: that is the pretext. The objective was, always was, that of implementing the “shock doctrine” (Naomi Klein), defended by Milton Friedman: to take advantage of the crises in order to…

...absurdus...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Tenniel_red_queen_with_alice.jpg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Extinction_Intensity.svg Our survival is permanently managed at the razor’s edge... Is existence sisyphic?! Absurdus/absurda?! (Camus) Existence is indissociable from experience: experience of oneself, experience of the others, experience of the world, of the cosmos... Existence is always…

Capitalism: the Imperium Phase

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Jean_Dodal_Tarot_trump_13.jpg The capitalist mode of production has attained its Imperium phase, the sustainability in the causes is very difficult, when the “catastrophe points” are more active, precisely at causality levels. In this phase, the nonlocality became, itself, a locality by (onto)synthesis, the risk exposure is tremendous, like a “god” trying to…

Autopoiesis...

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/63/DAPIMitoTrackerRedAlexaFluor488BPAE.jpg/320px-DAPIMitoTrackerRedAlexaFluor488BPAE.jpg It is in the flux of the PresentNow that we, as integrated systems, must guarantee, in the FutureNow, the sustainability that guarantees our permanence as living systems. But what is this FutureNow?! What does it mean?! We are always a to be(ing) (verb). We…

Quantum Complex Systems Science, Risk Science and Econophysics

BY: Carlos Pedro Gonçalves From the complex sciences’ scientific basis, quantum complex systems science may offer new conceptual and modeling tools to address risk in complex systems, including human societies and economies. In order to be effective, quantum complex systems science must generalize formalisms, tools and methodologies to be able to apply them effectively in different settings. Thus,…

...probabilities...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Hisstationand4aces-coolidge.jpg Probabilis, probatio, probo are three Latin words that form a judicative entanglement committed, always, with a sense of judgment, plausibility, proof, verification and argumentation. Probability, as a notion, is an evaluative cognitive synthesis about events, facts, situations, processes, contexts, future(s)... The probability does…

...the human system...

“...uma horda de animais; na floresta dos meus próprios signos e nas memórias da minha memória...” (Derrida, L’Animal que donc je suis.) “...a hoard of animals; in the forest of my own signs and in the memories of my memory...” The human system is formatted, in terms of fundamental causality, by a pathos of biological entanglement of survival that follows rules/laws of structure that are…
