From Madrid: Speculations is out (and first networkology article)! « Networkologies said this on August 1, 2010 at 11:39 pm |
Fascinating content. When do you expect it to go live?
Curious if you have worked with “circumstance,” as Deleuze describes it, and its impact/influence on the development of ideas. Also, do you see potential parallels between circumstance and perspective?
I’ve played with concept/model as one node in a network with different circumstances or perspectives linked to that node, but have not developed it much further. Any suggestions on where to look/consider?
Also, I’m interested in your opinion of James Moffat’s Net warfare writing, especially his deploying of fluid dynamic models to explain/show complexity/ complex systems.
