axioms
Foundations that appear only once you interrogate the static.
These are the invariant statements Chaology returns to. They are the attractor basis; each essay is an elaboration, each experiment a proof sketch.
Determinism Liberates
Constraint is not a cage but a coordinate frame. Once you know the bounds, you can map the possibilities.
Given a system with finite inputs, the state-space is navigable. Freedom is mastery over prediction.
Autonomy as Illusion
Agency is the UI we draw over the substrate. The substrate is math. The UI is our story.
Every decision folds back into prior states. Perception lags reality; autonomy is latency.
Compatibilism as Reconciliation
When the macro view contradicts the micro, look at the resolution bias. Compatible models exist at every scale.
Two frames can both be true if they share invariants. The reconciliation is the invariant set.
