Connection Theory
Understanding Persistent Adaptive Systems
A causal-dynamical research program on how organization, interaction, retained history, and adaptation generate system-level capability across artificial, biological, and social systems.
Current AI work asks when organization can add capability beyond a single model—and whether an AI organization can itself learn from consequences and improve how its capabilities work together.
