About this audiobook

Zero Infinity is a short gateway book into nested causal modeling: a discipline for seeing systems by their boundaries, enclosures, and lawful departures rather than by isolated objects alone. Written for general readers, builders, researchers, professionals, and anyone who has watched a model fail at the edge of its assumptions, the book introduces the central idea behind Sid J.A. Hubbard's Causality and Attraction body of work: many of our hardest problems are not object problems first. They are boundary problems. Without formulas, the book explains why ordinary zero is not enough, why singularities often mark broken maps rather than physical destinations, why vacuum and quantum problems may need better accounting of enclosure, and why nested causal modeling can become a practical discipline for approaching impossible problems.
