  • More about Natural Communication: The Obstacle-Embracing Art of Abstract Gnomonics


The author criticizes the current paradigm of specific goal orientation in the complexity sciences and proposes an alternative that envisions a fundamental architectonics of communication. His model of natural communication encapsulates modern theoretical concepts from mathematics and physics, offering a terminological basis for this theory to open up novel ways of thinking about complexity.

In his groundbreaking work, "Natural Communication," the author takes a bold stance against the prevailing paradigm of specific goal orientation in the complexity sciences. Instead, he presents an alternative vision that seeks to establish a fundamental architectonics of communication. This innovative model draws upon modern theoretical concepts from mathematics and physics, particularly category theory and quantum theory. By harnessing these fields, the author abstracts precise concepts that serve as the foundation for his theory. These concepts offer a terminological basis that empowers us to explore new and unconventional ways of thinking about complexity.

The author is unwavering in his belief that achieving continuity and coherence with contemporary thinking, particularly in the realm of complexity, requires a deep exploration of the past. By delving into the rich tapestry of historical insights and philosophical traditions, the author hopes to uncover the timeless principles that have shaped our understanding of the world. Through this historical lens, he seeks to bridge the gap between the past and the present, fostering a harmonious relationship between different schools of thought and paving the way for a more comprehensive and integrated perspective on complexity.

In conclusion, "Natural Communication" is a thought-provoking and paradigm-shifting work that challenges the status quo. It offers a fresh perspective on communication, one that is rooted in the principles of mathematics and physics and seeks to establish a fundamental architectonics of communication. By embracing the past and exploring the interconnectedness of different fields of knowledge, the author empowers us to think about complexity in new and exciting ways. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the complexities of human communication and the quest for a deeper understanding of the world.
