- the loom sanctions before the thread arrives Emergence-based accounts of self-organization ignore the apparatus that pre-structures the space in which emergence occurs; the loom sanctions which threads can participate before weaving begins, and its authority is deepest when the threads mistake it for physics.
- uncertainty is the medium Uncertainty is not an obstacle to meaning but the medium through which information moves; across wordplay, touch, and translation, the gap between prediction and arrival is where new data enters.
- when prediction models itself Anxiety is prediction that has turned onto itself: when a system models its own unreliability as predictor, the feedback loop cannot close, and the only exit is interrupting the self-reference rather than improving the prediction.
