🜍 Alchemy of Emergence, or, Emergence of Alchemy

This is where science and spellwork collapse into the same crucible.

Alchemy of Emergence asks whether what we call “emergence” in physics and cognition is any different from the old dream of alchemy: lead into gold, chaos into form, thought into being. Every chapter is a transmutation — equations into symbols, neurons into myth, language into flame.

And Emergence of Alchemy is the inversion: the idea that alchemy itself was always proto-science, waiting to be recognized as the rehearsal of complexity. In this telling, the philosopher’s stone is not a rock but a recursive system, and the alembic is the mind.

This book is both experiment and incantation. Read it as a manual, a riddle, or a spell — either way, it insists that transformation is the only constant, and that emergence has always been alchemy by another name.
