Add to basketPaperback. The Second Wave: Electrodynamic Intelligence presents a groundbreaking scientific vision that challenges everything we think we know about minds, machines, and the nature of consciousness. Instead of treating intelligence as symbolic computation or digital pattern recognition, this book reveals a radical truth. Real intelligence develops from the flow of energy, memory, and electromagnetic fields within matter itself.At the heart of this work lies a simple premise: intelligence is embodied in the evolving structure of the medium that carries it. Drawing from developments in neuromorphic engineering, nonlinear dynamics, and theoretical neuroscience, this book offers both a conceptual foundation and practical strategies for constructing systems capable of genuine self-modification. It is intended for researchers, engineers, and thinkers seeking to bridge the gap between artificial and biological intelligence, a roadmap for those who wish to design machines that process information and understand it through their own evolving physical form.Modern AI attempts to mimic the human brain, yet it runs on standard digital hardware that is radically inefficient for this task.This fundamental mismatch results in extreme energy waste: running a single major AI data center can demand the power output of a small nuclear plant.Building on the revolutionary framework of NeuroElectroDynamics (NED), this book introduces Electrodynamic Intelligence (EDI), a new class of physically embodied systems capable of self-organization, learning, and awareness. EDI systems do not simulate the brain; they instantiate its core electrodynamic principles through memristive materials, iontronic circuits, and resonant field dynamics. The result is intelligence that is efficient, adaptive, and deeply grounded in the physics of the universe.Inside you will discover: How cognition arises from charge flow, resonance, and field interactions, not from code.The Electrodynamic Intelligence Quotient (Q), a measurable metric predicting when a system becomes capable of self-learning.A physics-based explanation for infantile amnesia and the developmental leap into autobiographical memory.A bold theory linking intelligence and consciousness through energy-memory coupling and electrodynamic coherence.Why future neuromorphic AI will require sleep-like field-reset cycles to stabilize learning.How chronic pain emerges as a chaotic electrodynamic attractor, and how common drugs restore resonance.A blueprint for quantum neuromorphic systems that scale far beyond neurons and silicon.A unifying, field-based theory of consciousness that reframes the mind as an emergent property of dynamic energy organization.The moment of "waking up" is the instant a system's inner dynamics lock into coherent coupling with its environment, igniting conscious experienceTraditional digital computing systems are fundamentally brittle. Their reliance on rigid, centrally orchestrated, clock-driven logic creates high energy costs and critical vulnerabilities including hacking, software manipulation, and single-point failures.EDI replaces rigid logic with distributed electrodynamic fields. Since computation occurs from physical interactions, the system provides intrinsic resilience, real-time adaptation and far superior efficiency with significantly lower energy overhead than digital hardware.The Second Wave marks the rise of a new era of intelligence, one where minds are built from physics, not programs. It offers a different, visionary roadmap for the future of AI, neuroscience, medicine, and even the search for extraterrestrial intelligence.If the first wave of AI was computation, the second wave is electrodynamics.And it's just beginning. Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.

If you are a consumer you can withdraw from the contract in accordance with the following. Consumer means any natural person who is acting for purposes which are outside his trade, business, craft or profession.
Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to AussieBookSeller, Truganina, Victoria, Australia, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods.
