Let’s reconsider technology and our economy in the frame of the fold field. I see technological systems as powerful amplifiers of the field’s curvature. They extend our perception and action, but in doing so, they reconfigure the field’s entire geometry.

Take digital networks. They accelerate resonance across huge distances, creating a kind of global synchrony at incredible speed. One thing is that this acceleration often flattens nuance. Local patterns, local folds, just lose the time they need to absorb difference. This makes technology deeply political. We have to ask: what kinds of resonance does this infrastructure produce? Whose curvature is it stabilising, and whose is it erasing? Design becomes political because it ends up deciding which modulations get to survive.

The same logic applies to the economy. I’ve started thinking of the economy as the field’s metabolism; it’s the circulation of value, energy, and attention. From this perspective, capital accumulation looks like a pathological loop. It’s intensity that gets trapped within one small region of curvature, effectively starving the rest of the field. Redistribution can reopen that flow, but real justice needs more than just movement. It demands a diversification of rhythm. A healthy economy would be one that resonates across all scales, nesting local production within global networks, and aligning human labour with ecological cycles. Sustainability, then, is simply metabolic balance.

This scales all the way up. The planetary field is the widest horizon for our politics. Things like climate, species, and oceans aren’t external “environments” we act upon. They are macro-curvatures of our own collective being. Every policy decision we make is a form of planetary geometry; it bends or unbends the field’s climate, biosphere, and energy gradients. The real challenge is to foster a “cosmopolitical resonance”. We need a way to tune across all the folds, human and non-human. This reminds me of Karen Barad’s work; governance would become less about top-down commands and more like a feedback system.
