Impansion: the Foundational Video Series

(3 minutes read)

Welcome to a 12-part journey into a mind-bending worldview.

Imagine a universe where simple structures contain complex ones, the small holds the vast, and the past enfolds the future. This is “Impansion”—also known as “inward expansion”—a fresh philosophical take that pushes the boundaries of science and human experience.

This series illustrates the foundational book, “Impansion: The Shape of Complexity”, stepping into the shoes of the “Impanders,” philosophers of science who strip old prejudices from scientific knowledge.

I suggest watching the chapters unfold in order, but feel free to jump to any topic that sparks your curiosity. Captions are available if you need them. If you prefer to watch the series natively on YouTube, you have the full playlist here.

The Chapters

01: Big Bangers and Impanders

This video invites you to play Impanders, an original philosophy of science that reverses the “in and out” idea.

02: A brief history

Discover the personal and intellectual journey that led to the birth of Impansion.

03: The space-time metaphors

What if, instead of wholes containing parts, the parts contain the whole? This video explores that paradigm shift.

04: The origin of time

Explore how physics has shaped—and sometimes limited—our understanding of time and duration.

05: What’s harmony?

Harmony provides a new lens for understanding material experience beyond traditional notions of space and time.

06: Complexity is relative

See how principles of complexity and harmony underpin everything from the physical world to human consciousness.

07: The future is insideImpansion

Impansion challenges our intuition: what if the past contains the future? Delve into this surprising implication.

08: Overlapped ages

How can different historical eras coexist? This episode offers tangible examples of overlapping times.

09: Complexity grows inward

Understand how the inward growth of complexity connects the universe’s structure with the landscape of the mind.

10: Travelling without space

If space isn’t fundamental, what does movement mean? Let’s rethink distance and travel.

11: Living without time

Is time necessary for experience? This video provides real-world examples of life beyond fundamental time.

12: Your turn

Impansion offers a practical, inclusive philosophy that counteracts dogmatism. Will you join the exploration?
