John Holland's "Emergence" and "Hidden Order" reveal that the key to scientific innovation lies in the power of metaphor, which models new things by transforming existing mechanisms. The paradigm of this methodology is how Maxwell transformed electromagnetic phenomena into mathematical equations through the metaphor of fluid mechanics. Maxwell did not directly study electromagnetism itself, but imagined electric and magnetic fields as an invisible fluid whose flow and interaction follow the laws of fluid dynamics. This creative metaphorical transformation enabled Maxwell to successfully establish a unified theory of electromagnetic fields.
This metaphorical approach inspires us to learn from Nakamoto's Bitcoin model and build a universal Internet of Value. The Internet of Value transcends the limits of traditional mechanical money, enabling all things to carry and express meaning. It is based on Wiener control theory and achieves interconnectivity of all things through meaningful value exchange. The core of this concept is to view the currency model of Bitcoin as a "metaphor" rather than a rigid technical framework. By transforming and expanding this metaphor like Maxwell, we can construct a more flexible and inclusive value system, achieving true meaningfulness in all things.
