The Z Machine

"Here is how we put the time in." - Mark Twain "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" chap. 19

Z Machine, largest X-Ray generator in the world

Here I use it for a prop to occupy my time. The sum of path histories for a skin loop is Znatural. All possible branches at bifurcations in a logistics map introduce vanishingly small opportunities for free will or cognitive choice. Most choices are below the level of waking life conscious experience and are habits of behavior that usually predict with enough accuracy 'what happens next'.

The vast number of pre-cognitive choices are automatic and thus merged or catenated to the narrative flow that explains post-hoc motivations, dreams, wishes and yearning for meaning and purpose.

On some occasions the narrative flow cannot be accommodated rationally into the strategic narrative supported by cognitive or post-cognitive impulses. The architecture of motivation super-cedes pre-cognitive impulse or intuition. These 'free won't' opportunities return me to Z natural. Z natural is a family of branches - a sum of path histories - that define advantageous moves in design space that yield maximum fitness in the cosmic environment. Maximizing homeostatic outcomes with the least negative entropy means that I live to fight another day.

Specifically, I was born in 1957 and this path on the skin loop I am in recovery in 2011 having survived a reboot in 2007. Several visible markers notate bifurcations in the logistics map
