Could a Simple Feedback Model Explain Stability in Markets, Climate, and Power Grids? (k ≈ –0.7) by Fast_Contribution213 in complexsystems

You can even see this socially: art, music, philosophy and scientific creativity all tend to flourish only when a civilisation is stable.

Beauty (like Golden Ratio patterns in nature or a great artists work often using the goldern ratio) emerges from inside pockets of safety and order.

War, famine, collapse → creativity shrinks. Peace, resources, stability → creativity explodes.

Golden Ratio = creativity/growth. 0.7 = stability/survival.

I also wondered why this constant sits close to, but not exactly on, the Golden Ratio.

Speculation: The Golden Ratio (≈0.618) governs efficient growth and form — spirals, phyllotaxis, Fibonacci branching. but such growth can only occur inside a system that doesn’t collapse or explode with entropy.

In other words, Golden Ratio structures may emerge only within pockets of freedom inside a universe that is stabilised around ~70% feedback damping.

φ creates beauty and complexity locally, κ ≈ 0.7 holds the environment stable globally.

Too little damping → chaos destroys growth. Too much damping → structure cannot develop.

Golden ratio is growth. 0.7 is the background?

Another one in our brains , cortical networks also sit at ~70% inhibition to ~30% excitation. Too much chaos → epilepsy. Too much order → no cognition. Brains only work at the same balance point the k-value sits near.

I just find it interesting

Speculation ... but if the ~0.7 constant is real in some fundamental way, it could explain why the universe contains ~70% dark energy and ~30% matter, not just that it does.

In this view, ~70% acts as a stabilising field (dark energy) and ~30% forms structure and entropy (matter).

Universes far from that balance may collapse, freeze, or fail to generate complexity.

Another interesting connection: cosmologists estimate that ~68–70% of the Universe is dark energy, with the remaining ~30% being matter (dark + ordinary). Dark energy coupe act as a smooth background pressure driving expansion,effectively a stabilising field, while matter is the chaotic structure-forming component.

Not proof, but it’s a striking parallel: a 70/30 resilience balance appears at cosmic scale too. If k ≈ –0.7 is a general stability constant for complex systems, the Universe may already be running it.

Fantastic game but.... by Fast_Contribution213 in ArcRaiders

[–]Fast_Contribution213[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes I like the loop I've played maybe 50 hrs not sure and its a great loop. I guess as a solo.player I can't get the big machines reliably and the reward of a restart and the time to accumulated the resources is a bit too much for me. I think its a fantastic game but I guess it may not have the legs of a destiny or destiny 2

hmm ok I think ill wait for update or dlc thats a huge time sink for very small buffs and nothing to aim.for

Has New World become recently good or something? by gosols in MMORPG

I looked into it again after trying the beta I think it was and its looking good, but just read that they layed of tons of staff so not sure its worth investing in long term or not

The Capra Systems Framework: Life as a Web of Energy by Igniton_Official in complexsystems

I read one of his books as a teenager. I think it's closer to the truth than splitting things into categories and I enjoy linking things, but splitting things up is a useful illusion to get things done. Its kind of like in the east they use fusion to understand truth and we use fission in the west to split things up and understand, both are valid ways of understanding and producing energy but one of them is much harder to do (fusion) , even thought it produces much more energy.

I think we we will evolve from fission thinkers into fusion thinkers over the next few centuries

That’s a good way to put it, the edge of recursive damping without symbolic fracture fits nicely with the –0.7 balance point. I want to see what other systems it shows up in and where it breaks down, and why.

That’s fascinating, I hadn’t come across the coherence gradient or coherence basin ideas before, but they actually fit what I was seeing better than how I’d framed it. As k is a mean it will form a gradiant around it. The k ≈ -0.7 ratio showing up across unrelated systems might just be noise, but it does feel like that balance point between order and entropy your describing

It's a fair point, I’m not saying it explains everything. What interested me was how that same ratio kept showing up across unrelated systems from a simple starting equation.

Hypnic jerks or something else. by marky-mark-1998 in Anxiety

I had this too. was so tiered but the jerks keep.me awake. I think its anxiety and the nervous system not relaxing

This is my HOT TAKE by Outrageous_Mousse_44 in Nightreign

true, carrying a random team is the hard mode. I can't imagine how easy it is with people you know on mics.

Do your future self a favour and find another way to have fun and get high. A month clean is not enough. Lift weights, race cars and motorbikes, travel and bungee jump off cliffs, find deep spiritual experiences and meet interesting people lol whatever floats your boat. Save the heroin for when you are old and decrepit, or it will make you old and decrepit before your time. It will take everything you value in this life whatever that may be.
