Ergonomican of AbraxPsiPhi
A Compendium of Essays
by Deric Morris and Swinton Roof
Postscript: Deric was a dear friend but he is no longer with us in life. I am fortunate to have recorded some of his writings on this page. Hope you enjoy., S.Roof June 2008
Deric and I have been collaborating for several years on ideas about how the cosmos is put together and how it works. These ideas include recursive systems, non-linear feedback, chaos theory, fractals, geodesics, tensegrity, autopoiesis etc. This collection is an attempt to gather all of our work in one place. Deric tends to write in a succinct, almost poetic prose. My essays in contrast are more longwinded and in general try to make some of the concepts more accessible.
NOTE: There have been some formatting issues as I translated from various Mac formats to PC and then to HTML so don't blame Deric for any bobbles I might have introduced.
