From one of the world’s most celebrated intellectuals, a brilliantly insightful work that explains how we think about each other’s thoughts about each other’s thoughts, ad infinitum.

This paper proposes a parallel system of intelligent, non-monetary resource distribution modeled on biological metabolism, in which needs are met dynamically through feedback-driven regulation rather than symbolic exchange.

Such a system would gradually render traditional money obsolete, not through ideological abolition, but through redundancy.

This book explores the concept of abstraction as both a central method of philosophical inquiry and a process that inevitably encounters multiple forms of limitation. Through logical, epistemological, ontological, linguistic, existential, and mystical perspectives, it examines how abstraction can clarify, distort, transcend, or collapse into self-reference and emptiness.
