Behind Spaceway

There is a moment in any serious undertaking when you have to decide whether to say what it is or wait until it is ready to speak for itself.

I have been waiting. I think the wait is over, or nearly over, which amounts to the same thing.

Spaceway is my way of giving an input of my observations on nature and the unnatural or supernatural or the otherworldly, a combination of scientific and fantastic and speculative theories about space, life, universe, physics and related ideas. It is an important angle where I try to make sense of the world but also provide new ideas, different thinking, angling to think differently about our lives, our universe and our material and managed reality systems, structures and sub-systems.

I want to be honest about where this started. It started with a problem I did not have a good framework for. I had been working in geopolitics long enough to know the standard frameworks and to be frustrated by them. Not because they were wrong in their way, but because they were slow. They described what had happened. They were less useful for what was happening, and almost useless for what was about to.

The existing frameworks left out the structural, speculative and otherworldly layer. They could not account for the pressures that precede events, the forces that operate outside the categories political analysis tends to use. I wanted something that could.

The work since then has been an attempt to build something that does what the existing frameworks cannot.

I am not announcing a launch. I am saying that the project is real, it is serious, and it is mine in the sense that matters: I have been building it rather than writing about it. At some point the two become the same thing. That point is approaching.

The piece you are reading is the first public statement of what Spaceway is. There will be more. For now, this is the beginning of saying it clearly.
