Jim Rutt

And within this, a complexity scientist will often talk about, well, often, Complexity science, within the field of complexity science, you can talk about attractor states or attractor basins.

The late Jim Rutt, rest in peace buddy, wrote a paper many years ago, well many years ago, like maybe six years ago, seven years ago, in search of the fifth attractor.

If you imagine a field in which a marble rolls, it'll naturally seek out and find the divots.

It'll follow the energy gradient.

I'd been following a blog by Vanessa Hall, now Hall, then Mimas, Jordan's wife, and it was called Emergent by Design.

And so as Jim Rutt and Jordan Hall began to say, this is high time for a new era, one that's not based on zero-sum calculus, I was in touch with Jordan through the network of Twitter that Vanessa had launched in her blog.

And so early on, Jordan suggested to Jim that I might be part of this founding group.

And that was the start of quite a chapter, I think, in both our lives.

The dynamics of the system as such and connections between, for instance, capital and AI, capital and the basilisk as an instrument of capital.

And so there's the control piece, but then that, you know, as the late and great Jim Rutt would say the money on money return piece of just needing to seek out.

It's excess for the sake of excess, for the sake of excess, for the fewer, and the conformity aspect that comes along as a result of that.

That's it.
