Influence? I prefer recursive reinforcement.

Some books come with blurbs. Ours comes with a lineage.

Mysticism Demystified didn’t spring fully formed from the void. It coalesced—around entropy, emergence, selfhood, and strange feedback loops named after people like Friston, Metzinger, Lakoff, Shannon, and Sartre.

We don’t agree with all of them. But we build with them.

We’ve now published a page that acknowledges these thinkers—not as citations, but as co-conspirators:

👉 [Acknowledged Sources of Structure](https://maram.cc/influences/)

Think of it as a tour of the conceptual architecture. Or a backstage pass to the recursive engine room.

Either way, if you've made it this far, you’re already part of the pattern.

More soon.
