The Hilbert oscillator echoes Empedocles (?) idea of the compression and rarefaction of particles. For the HO, this is not in physical space but (transfinite) permutation space, particles being bound and loosed at different peer levels of meaning.
Event horizon: beyond which we cannot see. The physical world is bounded by c [the velocity of light] and h [the quantum of action]. Our spiritual world is bounded by our 'depth of understanding' (measured by peer index). Every event in the universe has some (meaningful) connection to every other but no bounded (local countable) system can decode the meaning of the whole system. Each entity (by the very fact of its survival) must have a certain meaningful interface with the rest, ie it can decode its interactions with its environment and used this decoded information to ensure its own stability against the changing world. The 'relative; survival requires (by Chaitin's rule) that entity and environment have the same effective peer index. This is achieved by time division multiplexing - I deal with one problem at a time, but in the course of a day meet n different situations, each requiring a response of my life is not to begin to fray at the edges.
Sloganization: Fuck you dark forces. Compassionate intelligence will win in the end.

Perhaps the peer index is a parameter than can be used to predict the stability of relationships - those whose particles have the same complexity (sophistication, nuancement) are more durable than those between unequal parties . On the other hand, the very inequality may motivate the dominant party to perpetuate the relationship for its own advantage, receiving more than it gives.
We might suppose that human organisations break down for two diametrically opposed reasons. On the one hand, there is inadequate control, so that the system breaks down and people begin to die from starvation, disease, communal violence and so o. This is a downward spiral, since the onset of the breakdown makes adequate control harder to establish. On the other hand, there is an excess of control (eg the Soviet system) where the system found it necessary to murder more and more people in order to impose its will, which was an order in some way 'contrary to nature' and so ultimately impossible inadequate control scenario. These two scenarios serve as a motivation for seeking to establish the existence and nature of some optimal solution that avoids the pitfalls of too much and too little control.
JUST ENOUGH CONTROL.

You cannot temper the wilderness theorem. Any attempt to be better than god has a downside that makes the net situation worse than god.
Every system is the hardware implementation of some software.
Static (textual) systems may contain undisclosed contradictions which will be exposed by a dynamic expression [reading] of the text (ie a self contradictory instruction book). This is modelled by a halting Turing machine. Non contradictory but non halting processes also exist. The infinite universe is an infinite composition of finite processes, like writing this paragraph and then putting the pen down and making a cup of tea.
