Cybernomics: The Law of the Digital Realm
$1.00
A framework showing that cyberspace is lawful—letters spell code, code spells systems, and systems spell the digital realm.
Description
Cybernomics: The Law of the Digital Realm explores how cyberspace is governed by lawful systems of language, code, and communication. From kybernetes (Greek: “steersman, governor, guide”)—the root of cybernetics—and nomos (Greek: “law, order, arrangement”), Cybernomics demonstrates that the digital world is not an anarchic frontier but a recursive extension of language into networks, protocols, and code.
This work shows how alphabets of code—binary, ASCII, Unicode—serve as elemental circuits of cyberspace. Graphemes inscribe data, phonemes voice interaction, and morphemes and lexemes stabilize vocabularies of programming languages. Orthography ensures precision, where a single misplaced character can collapse an entire system. Multiplicity of platforms, systems, and protocols is reconciled through lawful standards such as TCP/IP, DNS, and UTF-8. Applications stretch across economics (digital currencies and blockchain ledgers), law (cybersecurity frameworks and digital rights), science (data governance and AI protocols), and culture (identity and interaction in virtual spaces). Recursion defines Cybernomics: letters spell code, code spells programs, programs spell systems, and systems spell cyberspace.
