This book is based upon the collaborative efforts of the
Ontogenetics Process Group (OPG) - an interdisciplinary,
multi-institutional, multi-national research group that began
meeting in 2017 to explore new and innovative ways of thinking the
problem of complexity in living, physical, and social systems
outside the algorithmic models that have dominated paradigms of
complexity to date. For all the descriptive and predictive power
that the complexity sciences offer (the ability to compute feedback
systems, recursive networks, emergent dynamics, etc.), they also
presume that the living world in all of its modalities (biological,
semiotic, economic, affective, social) can be reduced to finite
schema of description that delimits in advance all possible
outcomes. What is proposed in this volume are conceptual
architectures for the living that are not only irreducible to
physico-mathematical frames of reference, but that are also as
vital as the phenomena they wish to express. In short: life is more
complex than complexity. What emerges from this engagement is not
the ascendance of a new transcendental principle (or, what amounts
to the same thing, a foundational bedrock) derived from the
physico-mathematical sciences, but just the opposite: a domain in
which the ontological and the epistemological domains enter a zone
of strange (and unavoidable) entanglement. The chapters in this
book were originally published as a special issue of Angelaki.
