Here I bring together essays and readings through which I explore information, knowledge and decisions, following the questions that arise when scientific problems meet their historical and cultural implications.
Alerts in European schools show how an unfounded threat can consume resources, change decisions and prolong its effects. This essay examines that pressure through cognitive overload, orientation and the OODA loop in John Boyd’s thinking.
Read the article ↗Starting from altered commands and false alarms, the essay follows the checks, decisions and shifts of resources that a signal can provoke, drawing on Liddell Hart and John Boyd to examine how disrupted information affects an organisation’s freedom of action and cohesion.

Iterating the same rule produces intricate boundaries between escaping points and points that remain bounded. Colour depends on escape time and reveals details at different scales.
The initial view presents the plane frontally, so you can examine boundaries and escape-time variations without tilt obscuring the details; the representation retains the 180-iteration limit and the available resolution.
zₙ₊₁ = zₙ² + c c = −0.74543 + 0.11301i
At each iteration, square complex number z and add c, equal to minus zero point seven four five four three plus zero point one one three zero one times the imaginary unit.
The fractal is planar. The viewer allows its plane to be oriented in space without inventing a three-dimensional volume. The image uses 180 iterations: it is a finite approximation, not a representation of every mathematical detail.
