Chapter Zero: The Universe as Agreement

*Chapter Zero: The Universe as Agreement* is the plain-language doorway into the Fundamental Dynamic Structures (FDS) programme. It presents the theory as one continuous conceptual story beginning with a finite premetric network of occupation and cyclic phase, from which physical...

Lifted Logarithmic Wasserstein Dynamics I: Exact Counting Mobilities and Microscopic Origins of the FDS Two-Flow Structure

We identify conditional microscopic routes to the reduced dissipative sector postulated in Fundamental Dynamic Structures (FDS). The first result is a role-separation theorem. A bilinear complex-field bond fixes the conservative amplitude factor \(\sqrt{\rho_i\rho_j}\), whereas a...

Reimagining land system science in seascapes

Abstract Context Terrestrial concepts often guide the science and management of marine systems, as exhibited by the influence of landscape ecology on seascape ecology. However, the theoretical assumptions that inform these concepts have not been sufficiently interrogated within t...
