Dr. Jabe Bloom @cyetain.com · 15/06/2026Models are reductive, however, they are not other than that which they attempt to conceptualize. Instead they become another part of the complex they are attempting to observe. Models have agency. 132

Not the philosophy thereof (tho that’s welcome) but as actually done + the institutions + culture norms that support it (Am I allowed to ask @jackiantonovich.bsky.social ?) 93828

Dr. Jabe Bloom @cyetain.com · 27/05/2026The quality of the anticipation is a function of the quality of the memory. A more varied, richer, deeper & better integrated memory will open up more sophisticated anticipatory capabilities. --ON THE IMPORTANCE OF A CERTAIN SLOWNESS. Stability, memory & hysteresis in complex systems. Paul Cilliers 010
Dr. Jabe Bloom @cyetain.com · 27/05/2026Anticipation is not, or at least, should not be, simply an extrapolation of the present. It is a complex, non-linear process which tries to find some trajectory, some way of “vaulting” from that which has already been experienced to that which has to be coped with. 230

Dr. Jabe Bloom @cyetain.com · 19/04/2026One of the tricks is to realize, it is going to be terrible; that’s not something to be worried about. The only way to clear out the terrible is to exorcise it from your brain via the ancient rites of… scribbling it down: then reading it to yourself. Slows the words down so you can see what works. 020
