The beginning is important in all things. Of the infinite beginnings there is only one beginning which is absolutely correct. Each beginning is therefore absolutely correct. The possibility of all things that are possible is created at the beginning. Therefore all possible things are absolutely correct. Of all the possible things, the possibility of conceiving the beginning is infinitely small. The beginning therefore is the most perfect idea conceptually possible. The beginning is ∞. ∞ is the system. 9
All lesser systems are circumscribed by system ∞. Within lesser systems occur each additional lesser system. All tangible things exist within the system ∞. All tangible things lie alongside all other tangible things. Within infinitely extending lesser systems, the set of tangible things must logically exist at precisely the midpoint. Beyond this exists the set intangible things. The set of infinite intangible things is infinitely greater than the set of infinite tangible things. Consider ∞ is the acme of a gradient. 10
Let this gradient be called ≈. ≈ is akin to entropy. Each point of gradient ≈ within system ∞ is the point of a change. A change is a type of creation. All creations derive from entropy. The action of conversion between the intangible and tangible is the process of entropy. Existence is the name given to the cascading process of the reordering of ∞. The cascading order of entropy is a kind of hierarchy. The rate of conversion of the intangible into the tangible is dictated by the gradient ≈. Where there is ≈ there is created consequence. 11
All consequence assembles to form long chains of events. The number of events is infinite. There can exist infinite chains of events. Each exactly assembled chain is deemed NOW. NOW is the exact measurement of the rate of change of entropy. The rate of change of entropy is the same thing as the sum of all consequences. The sum of all human consequence or, human entropy, is called history. Think of history as a kind of consequential infinity. Each point of history might be deemed as either true or untrue. 12
The set of possible truths is equal to the set of possible untruths. At any one instant, the set of possible actual truths can never equal the set of actual untruths. Consider the likelihood of an infinitely thin coin landing on its side. Where the set of actual truths is greater than the set of actual untruths describe this as flourishing. Where the set of actual truths is less than the set of actual untruths then describe this as decaying. The system set containing the actions of flourishing and decaying is termed culture. Culture = âˆŤtruth > untruth > truth. 13
All things are in a perpetual state of flux. A fluctuation is another term for a vibration. A fact is a type of vibration Consider the proposition "X marks the spot". The position of X is meaningless unless prescribed by the boundary system. Facts exist only in a localized sense. A fact is a type of node. A truth is a special type of fact. A truth is actually a special type of lie. Where a truth is equivalent to an untruth, this is deemed a paradox. Since all facts are incomplete truths, all truths are equally untrue. 14
Where this state exists, let this be called a law. Where a law exists, it has accreted meaning. A meaning is an interpretation of a proposition. A proposition functions as a kind of interface with its mother system. Your name is a type of interface. Art is a type of interface. Money is a type of interface. Sex is a type of interfce. A thought is a type of interface. An interface exists simultaneously in both the set of tangible things and the set of intangible things. An interface is a kind of bridge, or a kind of node. 15
A kiss is a kind of bridge or a kind of node. Each interconnection of each idea creates a network. Networks form in to chains termed strands. Strands clump together to form webs. All webs act as a type of interface. Where webs exist - energy is stored. A web is a type of battery. Where webs connect, information passes. Information is kind of current. A thought is a kind of current. Consider a brain to be a type of complex web. Consider a nervous system to be a type of complex web. 16
Consider a tree to be a type of complex web. Logic is a type of web. Music is a type of web. Music is type of sublanguage of the architecture language of ∞. Logic is a type of sublanguage of the architecture language of ∞. The sub language logic can never fully describe the architecture language of ∞. Logic is trapped within ∞. A musical thought is distinct from a logical one. The quantum of music is not a note it is the thought of a note. An un-realised note is the most perfect note imaginable. A realised note is a conversion. 17
realised note undergoes the process of entropy. A musical thought is a type of corrosion. musical thought is type of idealism. An idealism is a purely hypothetical construct. A daydrem is kind of hypothetic l thought experiment. A hypothesis is a type of model. model is a type of hypothesis. A book is type of model. book is type of node. book is a type of resistance against entropy. A librarian is type of resistance against entropy. 18
librry is n rtificil environment. n rtificil environment requires constnt mintennce to be sustined. The musicin must prctise his instrument. Ech personlity is type of rtificil environment. life nrrtive is type of rtificil environment. nrrtive is chin of successive experiences. Logicl thought is bsed within humn experience nd consequence. Every experience is consequence. ll we ever perceive re the contingent end results. 19
gme of chess is kind of computer modelling of end results nd consequence. gme of chess seems complex becuse ll the consequences re lid out t once. gme of chess is simplified web of tensions. person's chrcter is complex web of tensions. person's chrcter is type of construction. person’s chrcter is tuned web of interconnections. person’s chrcter is specific nd unique chord of vibrtions. Some chords resonte with ech other. 20
Some chords re dissonnt with ech other. Where one hrmony comes to dominte let tht be the prdigm. superprdigm would be monotone. monotone contins no informtion. monoculture contins no informtion. region of zero informtion could be described s devoid. weed is type of monoculture. virus is type of mono culture. virus is type of conversion process. Entropy is kin to virus. Entropy is the gent of grdient ≈. 21
≈ is the ctive dynmic force of system ∞. ≈ is the conversion process from ideologicl to prcticl. ≈ is the conversion process from the possible to the ctul. ll things re possible but not from every point within the system. Within ech system, the limits of free choice re nlogous to skier descending mountin. Choice is the gent of freewill. The unit of freewill is the qunt of yes or no. Freewill is type of constructed lnguge. ny lnguge is n ttempt to dely the decy of informtion vi grdient ≈. 22
ll informtion ccretes further informtion. Informtion is type of positive feedbck. In the long run informtion is essentilly unstble. There is no such thing s fct. fct hs t its hert n ssumption. stright line is the shortest distnce between two points. On sphere, the shortest distnce between two points does not reside upon the surfce. ll things re mtter of dimensions. ll dimensions pervde inside ech other. 23
picture is 2 dimensionl representtion of 3 dimensionl plce - depth extends towrds the horizon. Experience is 3 dimensionl representtion of 4 dimensionl plce - time extends into the future. The concept of time is derived from potentil differences upon grdient ≈. Time trvel is only possible down grdient ≈. The syste ∞ is kind of vortex. Understnding is kind of vortex. ll chins of thought re ultitely circulr. Logicl thought is self proving.
24
chin of thought is cscde of different nd uniquely interpreted signs. Ech sign is whole quntu of infortion. Thought is kind of quntised ritul, like counting. nuber syste is bsed in fctul things. fct is true or untrue. However, ll truths re subjective. This too is truth. n xio is type of loclised truth. t the south pole you cn only trvel north. n xio is specil type of ssuption. 25
Every theory hs t its root n ssuption. usic is type of theory. yth is type of theory. usic is by its nture irrtionl. Explortion in usic cnnot rrive t ny kind of conclusion. Conclusions re fored in logicl thought. Logicl thought is type of vortex of circulr rguents. blckhole rdites energy. Thought rdites energy. thought is type of chord ≈ is type of chord. ll energy is type of vibrtion. Existence, or ∞, is type of hyperdiensionl chord. The chord is everything t once. 26
Ech nrrtive is unique eleent of the chord. Ech nrrtive is type of fresh tendril. nrrtive is equivlent to specific polr co-ordinte within the syste web deeed node. ind is type of node. web is for of interconnectedness. ll points on web ffect every other point. web is type of field. Consequence is type of field. Events distort consequence. The effect of ll events is tered chos. Chos is type of pttern beyond understnding. 27
Chos is type of noise. Noise occurs where there is no pttern to be found. Noise occurs where there is no ind to find ptterns. usic only exists within the ind of listener - it is type of controlled hllucintion. brin is device to find cdences in noise. ening is cscde of cdences. ening exists only through repetition. Repetition fors web. Culture is tuned web of desires. Desire is for of vibrtion. Culture tunes desire. Thought is tye of vibrtion. 28
Thought tunes culture. Culture tunes rdig. rdig tunes thought. Culture is tye of circulr vortex. vortex is kind of frctl. chin of thought is kind of frctl. Knowledge is tye of frctl. Econoics is kind of knowledge. Econoics is kind of frctl. frctl hs no conclusion. frctl is n endlessly self eretuting syste. oney is colex tye of etiness. Where oney reresents tngible things its etiness is stble. ll welth is finite resource tht is wht welth ens. 29
Where oney secultively reresents future ct, its ety ening becoes unstble. oney is not tye of tie trvel. ll nes refer to oint contined within the set of tngible things. The ne oney refers to oint beyond the rel of tngible things - towrds nothing. Nothing is the bsence of soething. Drkness is the bsence of light. Nothing is tye of rdox. oney is tye of rdox. rdox is tye of crsh. crsh is negtive feedbck syste. 30
crsh shows the liits of syste lnguge. crsh occurs t the boundry of the syste hierrchy. The concet of nothing is the boundry of the syste hierrchy. The boundry of knowledge is the boundry of the syte. Within ech syste is sown the seeds of its own nnihiltion. Logicl doubt is rlysis of thought. ll thought is tye of rdox. Existence is tye of rdox. Nothingness cnnot exist without soething conceiving it's nothingness. The stte of nothing is iossible. 31
The iossible is distinct fro the irobble. It is ossible for sller bg to contin bigger bg. Ech thought is irobble lthough bsolutely certin. Thought is kind of logicl rdox. Things re lwys ore colex then they see. colex roble requires the silest solution. n uncertin ind is uncertin of its uncertinty. Fro the egg issues entroy. Ech thought is n gent of entroy. The ide of entroy is lso in decy. 32
Entroy is constructed ide. n idel is tye of silified odel. Things tht re not intuitively understood re best odeled. inbll chine is tye of odelling of syste. Ech syste occurs within nother syste. Think of ech syste s sef contined tye of etri dish. Infinite growth is constrined by the syste boundry. Infinite growth/weth is eningess. The vue of oney is essentiy unstbe.
33
"If you wnt to know the vue of oney - try borrowing soe" - This stteent is kind of ode. ode is n encoding of concet. When the unit of encoding becoes eningess we hve for of nonsense. When the unit of encoding is indeterinte then essentiy we hve noise. t this oint usic becoes indistinguishbe fro noise. usic is kind of knowedge indeendent of fcts. usic is essentiy vibrtion. usic is sectry vribe it is not rigid ike nuber systes. 34
The nture of eotion is sectry vribe - it is not rigid ike nuber systes. Eotion refexes re rooted beyond the set of tngibe things. nguge is concetu. Nubers re fctu. This eds to confusions. ny nguge is byrinth of hidden contrdictions. Ech contrdiction is rdox. The cuutive effect of contrdictions is ∞. Existence is equy rdox nd certinty. Igine ∞ s trnsinfinite song within song within song, nd ≈ is kind of focusing keidoscoe. 35
Beuty in order is ony hun construct. Order gives ening to ening. There is no ctu ening to ife. Sdness hs no ore ening thn video ge. videoge is siution of conjectured sets of circustnces. I cnnot y tob rider on y ZX81. I cnnot think bout y own ind. y dog cnnot do thetics. I do not hve dog. Uncertinty ies t the hert of hun cuture. Uncertinty is the echo of revious error. 36
The entroic growth of error defines the syste hierrchy. Entroy is kind of weed. weed is subjective hun noun denoting undesirbiity. things re subjective. hun is so kind of weed. rinbow is gic thing. rinbow is not gic thing, it is scientific thing. gic rinbow shoud be described with rt. scientific rinbow shoud be described with nubers. No nguge cn refer beyond itsef. surgeon cnnot reove his own brin. 37
