#THINKING


clear filter

  • A Conversation With Patrick Hammer

    The legacy of NARS, its founder Pei Wang, and the work of Hammer’s late collaborator Tony Lofthouse.

  • What’s in a Symbol

    I used to think of NARS as a paradigmatic contrast to neural networks. Apparently it’s more complex than that.

  • What’s in a Name

    Scientific naming often wanders between aptonym and nonsense. Asymptotic freedom sits somewhere in between: oddly beautiful once you know what it means.

  • Devastating

    We say hope is the last thing to abandon us, but if hope often concerns physical survival — its deeper function is narrative.

  • Backfeeding

    I rather like the odd word backfeeding. It restores a sense of movement and reciprocity to a term that had gone static.

  • Field Notes from EQTC 2025

    Quantum is fast becoming an industry, and Europe stands to gain — yet the real task now is not to perfect the machines, but to match their coherence.
