This acting somewhat like a corner of a square with the waves hitting again when they meet at the opposite corner.I was playing with Apple Keynote at the time and came up with images like this (and notice the tubby ouroboros, an ancient symbol I take as representing a cybernetic feedback loop or recursion): It occurred to me that lots of infinity would start doing strange things eventually -perhaps the cosmic computer would suffer a buffer overflow-lol. Not sure why, its just what I was jamming with. I visualised expansion of the universe from the standpoint of a cadence or heartbeat of repetition of these simple thoughts for an infinity of infinities (∞ to the power ∞) until some other characteristic caused a new level of dimensionality to be born. I don't recall why, but I imagined the network would bootstrap dimensions based on simple geometric constructs according to the Fibonacci sequence-assuming that this was something fundamental in the mathematics of the evolution of cybernetic network systems/bootstrapping quantum computers (other options include dimensionality growing as primes or linearly). My big Aha! moment ( J.Brian Hennessy) was combining three previous thoughts together: A) the universe is an evolving network B) everything is true simultaneously but some truths are more canonical than others C) this network must be some sort of infinitely bootstrapping quantum computer with more primitive origins that we and everything else exists in (and it exists in us).I guess this is an obvious extension to James Lovelock's Gaia Hypothethis and the concept of the Noosphere: “The sphere of human consciousness and mental activity especially in regard to its influence on the biosphere and in relation to evolution.” I even wrote a short story about it called The Autistic Ambassador. I also continue to develop my theory that God/universe/self/nature as one networked mind and we are some type of subnetwork/bubble tumbling about.Clearly there is a link here to Gnosticism I was also thinking about Søren Kierkegaard and the stages of searching for meaning in life which eventually can end up with the developmental and big questions like "is this me/not me", "who am I?", "am I alone?", "does God exist?" etc., essentially considering the universe/Godhead as having these developmental/existential challenges also. I was reading Taoist cosmology at the time and also got my birth chart done by an Astrologer. And considering the origins of the universe as a computer starting off with a simple structure and growing in complexity in the form of iterations using minimum viable product ( MVP), adding loops and memory and the like along the way as a form of self-development. I'm imagining I am the little thought in the void.A meta thought is born from our little thought, and a memory was made. How can this be? Did someone make me? and where am I?". I have my tears and thoughts to keep me company. "I can't be alone," thought the thought, "because I am scared and cry and think. This scared the thought and it started to cry □ and water was born. "Am I alone?" asked the thought and a loop was formed ∞ and a notion of self. This is mine: A little thought was alone in the void. As Joseph Campbell states in The Hero with a Thousand Faces, they all have the same root (universal patterns linked to the human condition). The Book of Genesis, the cracking of the Taoist cosmic egg, the Rig Veda's Nāsadīya Sūkta. Like anything mystical or profound we need an origin story. Conductor, tapping the glass: "Take her away, Ern." Shrunken Rasta head: "Yeah, take it away, Ernie, it's going to be a bumpy ride!" - Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. So take a bed, Harry, for a journey on the Knight Bus. There is no personal ownership or originality claimed like all creative processes this is channeling resonance, receptivity noticing what is already there and finding a language to describe it. Three months later I'm rested, relaxed, cycling □, and, though not wanting to blog at my former breakneck pace, decided to put some of these ideas into the public domain as if nothing else it shows the creative mind in motion. Being a bit different, I have some prior experience here, and thanks to the love and support from family, friends and employer I'm back in the saddle. This happened to me in March and for a time its effect pushed me beyond the event horizon. Sometimes an idea hits that is so disruptive it threatens to rip apart the very fabric of our psyche.
