which would seem ungrammatical. But really.
Here's more of the planning for It (the first third)
it
What is?
Pitfalls:
**None/Some** Thing Thing Being Is fuckall.
right: lets not got too far there, differance and all that
WE"RE MODEL MAKING HERE, NO NEED TO WORRY ABOUT WHAT REALLY IS THE CASE THANKS!
Also: There is a science o the human mind specifically, and there are lots of people making models of it of various sorts. Their work is all well and good and I'm not out to say they're wrong. This is about figuring out what a mind can be. What are the elements required for a self to emerge. We must keep our eye on that
Simple/Complex
-the single simple
(parmenides)
LETS NOT THINK THESE THINGS: But: the single is really Some rather than None
And: The impossibility of simples (from the but: the simple is a complex of none and some)
LETS JUST NOTE: IT CANNOT BE A MIND
why:
Change. The end.
So we have two options:
-plural simples: complex of simples
(still one, sort of)
we have to get at least somewhat away from the simples themselves to have anything we're going to call a mind here
AND, we only technically have bottom plurality:
complexes are impossible to concretely distinguish
so they arn't really things-plural, though we can make arbitrary distinctions that work to some degree
-the single complex: complex of complex
(only sort of single, as its divisible)
And specifically a fractal one, something we can get a grip on. Normally this will imply elements, but they might never show up at any level of zoom (we can have infinite complexity down and up, just for arguments sake) Otherwise we've got mush.
every level of zoom is the same, sort of.
from any level we see simpler below (as here is composed of those) and more complex above
Only with simples do we start with many.
We don't start with simples
We don't start with many
We start with much
Much/One/Many/One
what's much? (why is that not one yet?)
So then one of much
then many one
which can be one
((We play this game here so to know what we are playing with))
{{Chaos/Order}}
[at the lowest level of zoom (at our pixels) we will have mystery as there will be no detail, hense random at that level, but order will emerge from there: random random random means pattern pattern pattern]
Unstable/Stable
this is assuming time. but we're in third person land so we get to do that.
if stable then no change
Oh! unstable then
if no stable, then just constant, ABSOLUTE (otherwise we have a gauge) change, which is ridiculous.
we need grey to make this interesting
So balance of stable from unstable
Evolution!
every system with this balance of stable and unstable (which is no archemedian point) will evolve.
simple(r) stables interact to make complexer things, etc
Village - > child
we need a lot of the same sort of simple(r)s in the same place to get complexs of them
Environment tends towards complexity
The vast proliferation of mind.
MIND: a kind of semi-stable structure (complex in nature)
that: reacts to environment
by: signals (not quite symbols, but close)
basically if-then structure of sufficient complexity to warrant treating it as such (my threshold is low, but it needent be for there to be fireworks)
any two minds that interact are a mind (by this deffinition of mind)
Symbols as complexes of signals
structure strcture makes it go
The Self-symbol is the complex of signals that react directly to the mind in which it is a symbol
so a model of the mind
so some brief implications about simplicity/complexity thereof
The rise/myth of individuals
Minds with parts that take care of themselves (and are minds too) Succeed!
individuals plural, not the topmost level, minds that deal with minds
all interactions thereof are of a bigger mind
/are signals
/are parts of symbols
yay evolve go (implications of all kinds)
As mind evolves its parts become more mindlike (towards complexity)
Culture/individual
the signal-set and hense symbol set comes from enviroment
when enviroment is a mind, the symbol set then is a gift of the enviroment and of that mind
as in, is given by it as a whole
any part of a mind is also a signal/symbol
The self symbol can be generated spontaneously, but it can be encouraged to
or prepared for
The nature/nurture debate is silly: the nurture has been determined by the nature has been determined by the
to see the way its silly is to know what I mean here
Public/Private
witt arguments about language
how deep that goes?
everything is interaction with the mind that you are made by
so. Deep.
