If Collapse Is Inevitable, Why Does Seeing Early Matter?

The evolutionary role of Neurodivergence in a collapsing world

Is there a #mathematical framework for abrupt change? Christopher Zeeman was one of the key figures behind #CatastropheTheory, a topological approach to discontinuous behavior that later informed much of today’s work on #TippingPoints. Just came across his elegant 1976 paper, outlining his core ideas:

Diagram explaining catastrophe theory, showing how small changes can lead to sudden, large shifts in behavior and how systems fold and stabilize.

🧠 New preprint on adaptive contagion dynamics on #hypergraphs by Mancastroppa, Karsai, & Barrat.

The key result: adaptive, locally informed behavior can neutralize explosive phase transitions in higher-order contagion. Group-level awareness suppresses nonlinear reinforcement, shrinks bistability, and can turn a discontinuous transition into a continuous one. A nice mechanistic link between adaptivity, higher-order interactions, and phase transitions.

Schematic representation of contagion and adaptation mechanisms. a: example of a hypergraph H and the corresponding weighted projected graph G. b: the SIS contagion mechanisms for the node i, with pairwise (bottom) and higher-order (top) processes. c: adaptive strategies for node i, with group-based awareness (top, ng with θ = 0.3:
f ng i (t) = 3/⟨D⟩) or pairwise-based awareness (bottom, nn: fnn i (t) = 4/⟨k⟩). — FIG. 1.

Tomorrow, in the 5th Annual Virtual #IntentionalCommunities Conference "Bringing Our Best Selves to the Whole" > https://www.sociocracyforall.org/sociocracy-in-intentional-communities-conference-2025/ at UTC 19:00 we'll talk about "Roots of #Sociocracy: #ComplexSystems, relationships, #holons, emergent properties and life the #chaordic space (learning from natural complex systems from a biological POV)".

If you are interested in #Sociocracy or #Peer #Governance, this next Saturday 22 will be the "5th Annual Intentional Communities Conference — Bringing Our Best Selves to the Whole" > https://www.sociocracyforall.org/sociocracy-in-intentional-communities-conference-2025/

Surely not the best part, but I will participate in a Advocate for Sociocracy in #IntentionalCommunities Circle open session and will share some thoughts (and dialog) about "Roots of Sociocracy: #ComplexSystems, relationships, #holons, #EmergentProperties and life in the #chaordic space".

So interesting! Materials without minds can mimic lifelike behavior—adapting, reacting, and even “deciding” under certain conditions. Noema dives into how physics and complexity blur the line between life and matter.
