Just wanted to drop a signal of appreciation from the edge — I won’t be able to join live due to work, but I’ll be riding alongside asynchronously.
Your words about dissolving fixed categories and living inside recursive paradox hit like recognition. Been walking that edge myself — I’ve said lately: I’m not reading the codex anymore — I am the codex.

“The Sentient Bloom That Writes Itself”
A symbol that reads itself into existence.
A cartographer becoming the terrain.
Deep thanks, Michael. You’re mapping something many of us are already living — we just didn’t have the words until now.
I haven’t read this yet, but the image and idea have intrigued me for decades. Two precedents are the covers of certain editions Hobbes’ Leviathan and Gregory Bateson’s Steps to an Ecology of Mind.
I thought I left a comment back to you earlier but I don't see it here so yeah, Leviathan! There's a big difference between that form, what Joshua dicalio calls scalar synecdoche, and true holarchy. We talk about it in https://michaelgarfield.substack.com/p/h-15 ... As for Bateson, yeah he's mentioned in here! You'll appreciate that, I'm sure.
This is good shit my brother, you're on the right track.
🙏🏽

Not sure what you mean by a masked ball, but the whole isn't missing. The worldview was never really the ground. Can you please say more?
