We are taking a turn in which we base our science upon a deepening philosophical inquiry into the nature of reality.
Our work, as scientists, is to rewrite the very fabric of what is real, as our participatory perspectives express higher truths, as they mirror more profound insights about physics and complexity – and land us in a vast landscape of reflections, gazing deeper into the abyss.
