About Small-Infinities

Small-Infinities is an independent lab focused on the human relationship to Simplicity and Complexity.

The basis and mission of the lab begins with two observations.

First: Simplicity and Complexity, as humans experience them, are not separate things but related, with pure Simplicity at one end of a line and pure Complexity at the other, with all kinds of mixtures and combinations of the two found in the spaces that arise in between. Call these spaces in between Simplexity Spaces.  

The lab throws anything it can get its hands on at the exploration of these Simplexity Spaces, from as many different angles and perspectives as it likes: Psychology, neuroscience, interior design, visual arts, computer science, coding, learning, literature, allegory, and concerns for physical, mental and spiritual health.   

Second: the human capacity for awareness (consciousness, sense-of-self, ability to observe and represent our selves and some of the universe around us) arises from, and is shaped moment-to-moment by, our relationship to simplicity-complexity. The dynamic relationship between minds and Simplexity generates an enormous dynamic space into which we each unfold, become, create and make our way. This dynamic space is so large that it forms a special kind of infinity. For fun I call this special infinity a Small Infinity. Each human generates and experiences a small infinity, and so, for fun, I call humans like you and me, small infinities. 

The mission of the Small-Infinities Lab combines these two base observations:

“To help small infinities like you and me to thrive in the simplicities and complexities of the universe in which we find ourselves, and into which we unfold moment to moment, dynamically, creatively and uniquely, throughout our lives.”
