Abstract

FractalNode Magazine Issue 003, Article 06 — Editorial Editorial synthesis connecting the investigations in Issue 003. The pipeline (institutional capture, revolving doors, academic funding) and the simulation thread (information at the bottom of matter) are not separate stories — they converge at the question of who controls the computational substrate of reality. If reality is informational, then the institutions that control computation control everything. Part of FractalNode Magazine Issue 003: The Pipeline
