Like Pribram's holographic framework, catastrophe theory ofters a new way of picturing the world. To Bremermann, its promise lies in its potential to provide a special way of using mathematics descriptively (rather than deductively, as has been the custom in his field).

"The conceptual machinery that has served us more or less well for so long is breaking down," said Bremermann, speaking with the same urgency that characterized our conversations with John Lyman and Karl Pribram. "It is not quite adequate to deal with the enormous phenomena that we face in the world. Our poor brains can't follow the dynamics of modern society. The monster has developed, it's there, but we really don't understand it. The politicians don't know how to control it. Nobody has an intellectual penetration of the dynamics that are at work."
