#### [[Technology is a form of reductionist complexity insulation]] --- Technology isn’t knowing everything but is built to isolate and make benign the phenomena not understood. Complexity Insulation from certain phenomena. This is actually in keeping with Luhmann's Theory of Society about systems reducing complexity, and also autopoesis. Language too is a kind of hierarchical system. Ex. controlled vocabularies and taxonomies. (Elon musk about trunk/stem metaphor for learning) Code is obviously powerful text from a cybernetic perspective in terms of liminality. So is DNA. Coded language is redundant transmission for system inside/outside boundary. Difference that makes a difference and symbolic statistica surprise entropy for definitions of information. Similar to "How do it know" joke about thermos and hot/cold, dissimilar from metaphysical techne and similar logical patterns of distinctions (this is a technical term) imprinting matter in TDVP (guiding non-physical reality of gimmel) (monistic nonduality vs samkhya due to irreducibility/deducibility of consciousness from subatomic properties only by themselves). --- Tags: #lit Reference: Related: [[@NiklasLuhmann2020]] [[@heglandFutureText2020#Highlight yellow - Howard Rheingold Page 257 · Location 3176]] [[@dasguptaComputerScienceVery2016]] [[@dagheElonMuskRules2020]] [[Programs are liminal artefacts between symbols and patterns]]
