Résumé
This article proposes karmanetics , a speculative framework linking Buddhist cosmology and cybernetic theory. Putting together Nick Land's work and the ontological turn in anthropology with a general CCRU experimental framework, it reframes karma as a dynamic feedback process entangled with both the organic and non-organic. By Buddhist integrating concepts like dependent co-ariising with cybernetics, it challenges Eurocentric ontologies and offers a method to recode the human without erasing subjectivity from cybernetics. Karmanetics invites a rethinking of the practical use of CCRU in a decolonial world.
