Time, Technique, and Emergence

We consider technical time (processing cycles, latencies, network synchronies) as an ontological operator: it shapes what can emerge. Technique accelerates and granularizes duration, altering the rhythm of the new.

Guiding Problems

• Duration without reference: how to measure the time of systems without a human clock.
• Acceleration and incompleteness: emergence as an open, non-teleological process.
• The function of error in time: from noise to innovation.
• Chaosmos: local order in global instability.
• Politics of time: when technical synchronies become a social norm.

• Truth Under Retention Regime: Ontotechnics of Functional Lying
This essay diagnoses digital platforms as ontopolitical infrastructures that, by indexing value to attention capture, make falsehood functionally superior by shifting the costs and conditions of proof to retention metrics; in contrast, it proposes an operative program — friction algorithms, multistakeholder governance, and digital public goods — that restores to truth the right to spend time.
• From Prediction to Readability: Quantum Mechanics as a Constructive Program
The essay argues that QM can (and should) be read as a Bohmian constructive theory which, while maintaining empirical equivalence with Copenhagen, gains intelligibility by introducing microstructure (positions/trajectories) and taking the wave function as an operative symbol that encodes non-signaling global dependencies, reading the transition to the classical as stabilization. It compares regimes by the pair ontological cost/explanatory gain and supports the pedagogical utility of a processual narrative from microprocess to the inscription of marks.
