Zhuangzi destabilizes fixed identity-mass by questioning categories and promoting adaptive superpositions. His parables encourage flexible couplings, suggesting that rigid potentials lead to suffering; in SLM, he prescribes dynamic renormalization—allowing states to be context-dependent rather than fixed invariants. The Zhuangzi operates as a philosophical Mythoplasma, intertwining N + Mγ + T to create drifting parables whose … Continue reading 11. Zhuangzi — Zhuang Zhou (China)
6. The Upanishads (India)
The Upanishads function as renormalization techniques for inner life. They propose methods for subtracting superficial divergences—ego, desire—to reveal a more fundamental field of Brahman. Practices they recommend (meditation, ethical discipline) are operators reducing self-interaction terms and allowing consciousness to experience unified modes. In SLM, the Upanishads describe a path to lower-energy coherence: when the individual … Continue reading 6. The Upanishads (India)
3. The Instruction of Ptahhotep (Ancient Egypt)
The Instruction of Ptahhotep is a low-energy effective theory: a compact Lagrangian of social rules that regulate interaction in an Egyptian legal-gauge. Its aphorisms act like conserved currents—protocols that minimize conflict and stabilize the civic vacuum. Each proverb functions as a mediated interaction (gauge boson) transmitting authority from elder to younger generations. The "mass" these … Continue reading 3.

1. The Epic of Gilgamesh (Mesopotamia)
Gilgamesh is a prototypical heavy excitation resisting mortality. Enkidu’s entrance turns the two into a bound pair, like a baryonic composite stabilized by intense mutual coupling. Enkidu’s death is a perturbation that shifts Gilgamesh’s vacuum: the hero gains existential mass—grief, wisdom—forcing a search for permanence (immortality) that results in a renormalized appreciation of the communal … Continue reading 1. The Epic of Gilgamesh (Mesopotamia)
Toward a Standard Literary Model
This post proposes a speculative yet disciplined framework for reimagining world literature: the Standard Literary Model (SLM). Inspired by the elegance of the Standard Model of particle physics, the SLM treats stories not as static cultural objects but as fields, forces, and interacting particles within a vast narrative cosmos.The goal is not to collapse literature … Continue reading Toward a Standard Literary Model
The Cintamani: Gem of Chaos and Creation
It is both a blessing and a curse, a jewel that can reorder the universe — or unmake it entirely.
An Emporium of Order and Chaos.
The title and image of this post refer to an artistically diary in which I’m resuming and catalogizing my artistic and literary creations, larded with thoughts, philosophies, and observations that induced them.The chronological order in which the works were produced has been abandoned in favor of a systematic approach were the subjects are brought together … Continue reading An Emporium of Order and Chaos.
About Transcribing Finnegans Wake in plain English.
The primary transcription goal of Finnegans Wake into Here Comes Everybody’s Karma (isbn 9781737783299) was to open Joyce’s Opus Magnum for a wider reading public by replacing the foreign language idiosyncrasies with an English equivalent and by streamlining Joyce’s sibylline prose.This required me to engage with the prose of Finnegans Wake that goes beyond that … Continue reading About Transcribing Finnegans Wake in plain English.
Literary Criticism and the Systems Theory
Although I'm not really thinking that someone missed my weekly ramblings about all the innuendo that occasionally flutters from my brain through my finger tops into my blog, I still want to acknowledge towards those who do that I'm still alive and rambling. I'm still one of those old fashioned guys who believe that the … Continue reading Literary Criticism and the Systems Theory
The US Literary Universe.
Since US literature, as represented by the US Library of Congress, has the whole universe as a subject, one could assume that this system is also governed by the same mechanisms that it describes. In the following two paragraphs I would like to outline some analogies between what most people consider as two disciplines who … Continue reading The US Literary Universe.
Chaos Dynamics in Modern Literature.
In both contemporary literature and science, chaos has been conceptualized as extremely complex information rather than an absence of order. As a result, textuality is conceived in new ways within critical theory and literature, and new kinds of phenomena are coming to the fore within an emerging field known as the science of chaos. The … Continue reading Chaos Dynamics in Modern Literature.
Poetry, Code and Literature.
In today’s literary criticism arises the concept that no general method for the solution of questions can be established which does not explicitly recognize, not only the special numerical bases of the science, but also those universal laws of thought which are the basis of all reasoning, and which, whatever they may be as to their essence, are at least mathematical as to their form.
Literary Crypto-mathematics
About an algorithm demonstrating that the course of North American Novels between 1863 and 1963 as a whole, can be described by an algebraic equation.
World Literature and Fractals
As far as many bookworms are concerned, advanced equations and graphs are the last things which would hold their interest, but there's no escape from the math. Physicists from the Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Cracow, Poland, performed a detailed statistical analysis of more than one hundred famous works … Continue reading World Literature and Fractals
The Inevitable Future
The forces shaping our future are not inevitable in the sense that they are ‘preordained’ or irrefutable. Rather, they are inevitable because: They’re already happening, have been ‘happening’ for more than thirty years, and will keep happening;They are fundamentally driven by the underlying dynamics of technology itself, determined by mathematics and physics. While Kelly in … Continue reading The Inevitable Future
The Man-Machine Relation in Art and Science.
Illustration; When man merges with machine by Bob Eggleton The machine, over the course of the 20th century, progressively integrated itself into all fields of human activity. At first machines were conceived to alleviate the hard and mind killing facets of human labor. In Babylonian times, a day’s hard work would produce enough to light a room … Continue reading The Man-Machine Relation in Art and Science.
Gross National Happiness is more important than Gross Domestically Product
Throughout modern history, societal progress has been measured in terms of GDP. The higher the GDP, the more developed a country, so goes the general belief. There is, thus a mad rush for increasing GDP. Hence, over time, GDP came to be seen as a surrogate for societal wellbeing – something it was never designed … Continue reading Gross National Happiness is more important than Gross Domestically Product
Knowledge and Power
Since Plato dreamed of a republic ruled by philosophers, the idea rooted in human conscience that knowledge should equal power. One should disagree with this stance, because in this worldview, Einstein would not have been just some bystander at the Alamo-project that developed the first nuclear bombs. We are trained and educated to comprehend the … Continue reading Knowledge and Power
