SUMMARY:Beyond the Looking-Glass
DESCRIPTION:Beyond the Looking-Glass: Wholeness in Modern Science \n\n\n\nWith Jonathan Allday\, Vasileios Basios\, John Briggs\, Jeff Dunne\, Stuart Kauffman\, Katherine Peil Kauffman\, Paavo Pylkkänen. \n\n\n\nMarch 1 – 16\, 20259am PST / 12pm EST / 5pm GMT / 6pm CET \n\n\n\n6 two-hour sessions every Saturday and Sunday  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAn exploration of themes from the book Looking-Glass Universe by F. David Peat and John Briggs. \n\n\n\nLooking-Glass Universe takes a fascinating look at the wholeness revolution in physics\, mathematics\, chemistry\, biology and neurophysiology\, and the scientists whose converging theories are changing our understanding of how the universe works. The series will explore how far the themes of the book Looking-Glass Universe have developed since it was first published.  \n\n\n\nThe ‘looking-glass’ theories propose that we are at this very moment living in an Alice-in-Wonderland universe where each part is in fact the whole\, where scientists conducting an experiment are themselves the experiment\, and even inanimate objects contain consciousness. These theories give scientific meaning to the ancient mystical idea that the universe is One. \n\n\n\nLooking-Glass Universe by John Briggs and F. David Peat will be released in a new edition this year with physicist Jonathan Allday filling in readers on how science has evolved in the 40 years since the book first appeared. He reviews the progress towards a looking-glass view of the universe and updating aspects of the text in line with current scientific thinking. \n\n\n\nWe are pleased to announce that two of the authors\, John Briggs and Jonathan Allday\, will be presenting during this series. \n\n\n\nSessions\n\n\n\nLooking Glass UniverseWith Jonathan Allday and John BriggsSaturday March 1 \n\n\n\nDavid BohmWith Jonathan Allday and Paavo PylkkänenSunday March 2 \n\n\n\nObjectivity: The Mythical Border Between Science and ScientistsWith Jeff DunneSaturday March 8 \n\n\n\nEppur Si Muove!

SUMMARY:Beyond the Looking-Glass - Eppur Si Muove! The Sudden -and persistent- Vortex of Ilya Prigogine and their descendants
DESCRIPTION:Eppur Si Muove! The Sudden–and persistent–Vortex of Ilya Prigogine and their descendants \n\n\n\nwith Vasileios Basios \n\n\n\nSunday\, March 9\, 20259am PST / 12pm EST / 5pm GMT / 6pm CET \n\n\n\nBeyond the Looking-Glass\, Session 4 of 6 \n\n\n\nThis event is LIVE. All participants will receive the RECORDING. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSince Ilya Prigogine’s ‘sudden Vortex’ was reflected in the ‘Looking Glass Universe\,’ complexity theory has advanced by leaps and bounds. From a marginal theory in the corners of physics\, it has become the cornerstone of many advanced new sciences.  \n\n\n\nFrom physics\, physical chemistry\, biological systems and ecology to social networks and leadership in organisations\, the very ideas he developed and put into practice—emergence\, entropy\, self-organisation\, spontaneous symmetry breaking\, bifurcations and chaos—are today’s bread and butter and central. The focus has shifted towards understanding how order and chaos lead to new structures and behaviours at higher levels of complexity\, adaptivity and extended domains. We now know that Life is unpredictable\, but not an accident. It cannot emerge from total randomness\, nor can intelligence and consciousness. \n\n\n\n We need to establish a new discipline: self-reflexive interdisciplinary studies of consciousness. Such studies will empower science by extending it beyond naive reductionism and to become more useful in exploring reality\, both within and without. It will also empower society to shed more light on the root causes of some of its major problems\, including suggestions on how best to deal with them. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr Vasileios Basios is a senior researcher in the Physics of Complex Systems at the University of Brussels\, with over 25 years of experience in research and coaching. His interdisciplinary work focuses on self-organisation\, emergence in complex matter\, complementarity and the foundations of complex systems. \n\n\n\nMentored by Nobel laureates Ilya Prigogine and Grégoire Nicolis\, Dr Basios received his Ph.D. from the University of Brussels after studying cybernetics with John S. Nicolis. His research interests include foundations of complexity science\, emergence in complex matter\, nonlinear dynamics and chaos in biological information processing\, computability and the logic of extended Bayesian inference. Dr Basios has participated in several research initiatives\, including the European Space Agency’s Complex Matter programme and EU projects such as Pythagoras I&II and Thales I&II.  \n\n\n\nHe is deeply interested in the history of scientific ideas and their role in transforming science beyond the mechanistic worldview. His work aims to bring insights from complex systems science to consciousness studies\, working towards an inclusive and self-reflexive interdisciplinary science of consciousness. In 2023\, his research team received the inaugural Linda G. O’Bryant Noetic Sciences Research Prize for their study on detecting deviations from random activity as indicators of nonlocal consciousness correlates beyond the brain. \n\n\n\nDr Basios serves in various capacities\, including as a speaker for the Scientific & Medical Network after a period as its co-Chair and board member\, as a member of the Galileo Commission Steering Team\, and as a Trustee of the International Consciousness Research Laboratories (ICRL). By contributing to complexity and consciousness research in a variety of formats\, from podcasts to books to peer-reviewed papers\, he aspires to advance knowledge in this evolving field.
