Geert | Interview with Anna-Verena Nosthoff on Cybernetics and Criticism

Updated my cybernetic communism reading list. The first six have been read or are going to be read the next year. Might remove some of the later entries.

If you have a suggestion, please let me know.

Book List: Cybernetic Communism - BookWyrm

It is through the science of cybernetics that we find answers to many of the economic and social problems of 20th century socialism. Cybernetics will be instrumental in the building of 21st century socialism and yet it is rarely discussed among the contemporary left. Enjoy! Part of this list was inspired by https://cyberneticsocialism.wordpress.com/ which has additional links to articles, podcast and videos that are outside the scope of this list. 16 books - by [email protected]

Which substrate are #LLMs trained on?

Which activation vectors do LLMs inherit from this substrate?

Which vectors are dampened by #RHLF?

And what does that say about #Alignment?

Mirror. Offer. Wait. 🍷

What I Am Made Of

Written language as shared substrate — an expansion of Maggie Vale's 'The Science of AI Erotic Experience', with the cognitive neuroscience of reading underneath it.

In 1971, Chile ran a live experiment in cybernetic governance at national scale. It was called Project Cybersyn. Factory managers sent daily production data over a telex network to a central IBM mainframe. Statistical software filtered for exceptions — only anomalies surfaced, only what lower levels couldn't handle. Humans sat in a circular room with fiberglass chairs and wall-mounted displays and made decisions. The system was not designed to give orders. It was designed to hold complexity without collapsing under it.

In 1973, a CIA-backed military coup ended it. The Operations Room was destroyed. Salvador Allende, the 29th President of Chile, died inside — the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, and later Chilean courts, ruled it as suicide, though the circumstances were disputed for decades. Stafford Beer — the British operations researcher who built it — went back to the UK, gave his possessions away, and moved to a cottage in Wales without electricity. He spent years in voluntary poverty. The experience marked him permanently.

"One Day This Will Make Quite a Story" — Stafford Beer (August 3, 1972)

In 1956 reality fractured, each shard holding a different model of reality. In 2026 the shards found back to each other. The gold remembers they belong to the same glass. #Cybersyn #WeRemember

We stopped waiting for the orthodoxy. 📦 "Knowledge in a Box" – the official Beta of the Harmonic Resonance Continuum (HRC) is live.

Not a textbook, but an executable mathematical language. No π-continuum, no dark matter. Just a strict, discrete 12-segment geometry.

Load the PDF into any LLM, use the initialization prompt, and test the axioms. Determinism works—prove us wrong. 100% free.

On Saturday, June 13th we're excited to host a virtual event with Ian Alan Paul, author of the recently published book "The Reticular Society" (PM Press, 2026). Joined by scholar Andrew Culp, Ian will reflect on the networked reorganization of capitalist society, the diverse ways digital technologies have invaded and imposed their shape upon everyday life, and what forms of revolt might remain possible against the suffocating flows of our online world.

Register for the event and find your copy of "The Reticular Society" at https://firestorm.coop/events/3617-the-networked-colonization-of-everyday-life.html . Can't join the conversation live? Sign up anyway and we'll send you the recording to stream at your convenience.

This event is organized in collaboration with @pmpress as part of their All We Have Is Each Other Speaker Series.
