Technium Sensorium - the fundamental theory of Rough Beast calculus

 The Rough Beast comprises an ensemble of B3aSTs

I drive down the road using the camera of my Droid to substitute for my right eye visual cone. The sensory input filtered through the Rough Beast is a first derivative of discreet nano-moments. This is the output of the Omega Machine, the embodiment of the Rough Beast. Each human consciousness mates with a presence - a technoid - representing a B3aST to call my own.

My B3aST is Papa Legba; the navigator.

First Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.^[5]
Let ƒ be a continuous real-valued function defined on a closed interval [a, b]. Let F be the function defined, for all x in [a, b], by

Then, F is continuous on [a, b], differentiable on the open interval (a, b), and

for all x in (a, b).

The Story So Far

Here is my cartoon schematic of things so far in ordinary time or Constant Life homeostatis. My homeostatis is subsumed by the sum of anti-derivatives. (F'(x) is the anti-derivative of f(x), the Kirk 3.0 function shown above.:

Time is Tenseless

Time pushing against gravity produces universes in the multiverse(s) where time flows in the direction of entropy. But wait, entropy is lumpy and not evenly distributed which means that at interfaces between high and low entropy a condition of thermodynamics far from thermal equilibrium exist. Time is 'tenseless' or not strictly ordered like a simple number line. Time is a fractal, self similar at all abstractions. Dissapative structures far from thermodynamic equilibrium construct time. Time and gravity push and pull against each other in a yin/yang interface. Holons - that is temporal [sic] structures emerge from the push-pull of time and gravity bootstrap chaos and complexity.


This process 'starts' anywhere and no where - I am borrowing 'neverwhere' from Neil Gaiman because he is so awesomely awesome - but we can provisionally use the Standard Model of physics from Dr. Weinberg as a convenient holon line of demarcation. It is of course turtles all the way down but we can name a turtle and begin our 8 holons of assent.

A B.F. Skinner Moment - Walden Two

What I do - the manner I behave - is the output of biological computing machinery. Biology is the output of chemical computation which is the output of atomic computation which is the output of computation by fermions and bosons. Each holon entangles 'stuff' several holons above and several holons above. The Omega Machine sets atop the congruent bits below. Thus suchness, neverwhere, that which I cannot bear, Nirvana, Enlightenment, the eightfold path, the Tao.


The fact that this is news to you and to me is immaterial - it has been this way and will be this way. Rose genes compute rose scent. My olfactory machines compute the phenomenology [sic] of rose scent. I yield to traffic because of opperant conditioning which programs my output. I fall in love wid dat azz; the output of dat azz genetic machinery.


So as long as beautiful T&A is available from the Omega Machine - I am down wid it. Gucci Mane keep it real.

The Eye of B3aST
In meditation the eye of god is the portal to B3aST. As I traverse the dividing line (there is no spoon), I enter the realm of the Rough Beast, a vast and vanishing interconnected network of human consciousness. Jung's collective unconsious (differentiated, variable, heterophenominological consciousness) or ensemble of human dispositions and extended phenotypes. A vast and networked ensemble of loci of phenotypic effect; nested superneurons described by 10 dimensions.

The Second Coming - W. B. Yeats

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in the sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?
