Being-In-the-Ohno-Circle:
In today’s post, I am looking at the Ohno Circle in light of Heidegger’s ideas. I will try to stay away from the neologisms used by Heidegger and will only scratch the surface of his deep insights. One of the best explanations of Ohno Circle comes from one of his students, Teruyuki Minoura, the past President and CEO of Toyota Motor Manufacturing North America, Inc. He had a first-hand experience of it. Minoura noted:
Mr. Ohno often would draw a circle on the floor in the middle of a bottleneck area, and he would make us stand in that circle all day long and watch the process. He wanted us to watch and ask “why?” over and over.
You may have heard about the five “why’s” in TPS. Mr. Ohno felt that if we stood in that circle, watching and asking “why?”, better ideas would come to us. He realized…

Bateson 50th & 10th Anniversaries Commemoration—a year-long series of offerings exploring Batesonian ideas.
About this event
Bateson Anniversaries Commemoration
50th of Steps to an Ecology of Mind
&
10th of Warm Data
Join us for the kick-off of a year-long series of warm offerings—each an exploration in mutual inquiry of Gregory’s seminal ideas—double bind, schismogenesis, play, deutero learning, communication, ecology, multiple description, abductive process, differences of abstraction and difference that makes a difference, mind, and interrelationships.
The conversations will happen in conjunction with Warm Data Labs and People Need People sessions—to commemorate the momentous confluence for the Bateson family lineage with the 50th Anniversary of Steps to an Ecology of Mind by Gregory Bateson and Nora Bateson’s work, Warm Data, birthed on a paper napkin 10 years ago and evolving into a rigorous practice called Warm Data Labs with over 630 hosts worldwide.
Hosted by Nora Bateson, International Bateson Institute, & Bateson Idea Group

A major goal of modern statistical physics and thermodynamics is to unravel the fundamental principles that govern the individual dynamics and collective behavior of such nonequilibrium systems, like the swarming of fish or flocking of birds. A novel key concept to describe and classify nonequilibrium systems is the stochastic entropy production, which explicitly quantifies the breaking of time-reversal symmetry. However, so far, little attention has been paid to the implications of non-conservative interactions, such as time-delayed (i.e., retarded) or non-reciprocal interactions, which cannot be represented by Hamiltonians contrasting all interactions traditionally considered in statistical physics. Non-conservative interactions indeed emerge commonly in biological, chemical and feedback systems, and are widespread in engineering and machine learning. In this talk, I will use simple time- and space-continuous models to discuss technical challenges and unexpected physical phenomena induced by non-reciprocity [1,2] and time delay [3,4].

Feel free to join us. Microphones and video will be enabled so you can engage in conversation around the virtual coffee table! Once the seminar begins, microphones will be turned to mute, and you can choose to remain visible to the speaker (everyone likes an audience!) or to mute your video as the seminar begins. Questions can be submitted in the chat. |

⌜ktb⌟@kevinbakerIf you’re interested in the history of feedback thinking before cybernetics and digital computation, this is as good place to start. It treats servo engineering, etc, as more than just a prelude to cybernetics.

Also noteworthy: “It’s one of the most important things I read in graduate school. Even though it’s about the prewar period, it really helps you understand the postwar engineering moment and and think beyond cybernetics’ imperial, universalizing project.” … “One of the core arguments is that the “engineering cultures” that developed during the interwar period weren’t subsumed by cybernetics. These cultures persisted, as did their distinctive ways of understanding feedback, system boundaries, etc.”

Conference on Complex Systems 2022: Call for Satellite Proposals
19-20/10/2022, Palma de Mallorca, Spain.
Deadline for submission: April 10th, 2022 (strict deadline).
The callfor satellites at the Conference on Complex Systems 2022 (CCS 2022) is officially open.Following the successful tradition of previous editions, CCS 2022 will host satellite events within the main conference.
A satellite session is a full-day or half-day meetingwith a focus on a specific topic of complex systems and its applications. Each satellite is organized and managed by its own committee, although the coffee-breaks and lunch will be offered by the CCS organization. The satellite organizers are responsible for reviewing proposed papers and working with their presenters.
More info on satellite events and submission can be found at:
