Terry Marks-Tarlow

Terry Marks-Tarlow, a clinical psychologist and author specializing in the intersections of psychology and complexity, dives into the fascinating concepts of autopoiesis and the Laws of Form. She discusses how living systems maintain boundaries while embracing paradox and recursion. The conversation explores the interplay between consciousness and materialism, structural openness, and the emergence of complexity from distinctions. Marks-Tarlow also links these ideas to mysticism and AI, hinting at the potential for self-aware systems.
