Traditional financial models fail to capture the tangled reality of Eurozone finance. This article introduces hypergraphs as a revolutionary tool to map systemic risk across sovereigns, banks, and shadow entities—moving beyond pairwise thinking to understand true interdependence.
Can quantum computation and fractal logic explain the illusion of free will? From Sierpiński triangles to qudits and Wolfram’s hypergraphs, this article explores the interplay between determinism, randomness and complexity in shaping human agency. A new lens on choice in a computational universe.
Choosing the right level of abstraction in simulations is a critical yet often overlooked challenge. STRATA (Scoring Tool for Rational Abstraction Tradeoff Analysis) offers a structured, domain-independent framework to evaluate and select optimal abstraction levels based on nine clear criteria: fromexplanatory power to computational efficiency. This article introduces STRATA, explains its methodology and walks you through a real-world example in biology to help you apply it in your own.
In a world driven by automation, not every task should be handed over to AI. This article introduces a deeply philosophical decision-making model that helps determine when human experience is irreplaceable. Grounded in thinkers like Husserl, Frankl and Habermas, it offers practical guidance and ethical clarity on how to balance productivity with meaning, personal growth, democracy and cultural depth.
Fifteen years after the legendary pizza transaction, this we explore a bold new theory: Bitcoin’s real value may not lie in price or scarcity, but in time. In an age where AI systems and digital finance move at blinding speed, Bitcoin’s deliberate slowness - from its proof-of-work to its 10-minute block intervals - could act as a safeguard against uncontrolled acceleration.
An exploration of time, trust, and why Bitcoin might be the last firewall in a hyper-automated world.
Explore how autonomous AI agents are reshaping capitalism, challenging traditional economic structures, and ushering in a post-capitalist era.
Kant’s 1795 essay Perpetual Peace shapes modern international relations through ideas like ending standing armies, respecting sovereignty, and adopting universal hospitality.
