Part 1: THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THIS AND THAT - INTANGIBLE MATERIALITY


IMAGINATION, POTENTIALITY AND TRANSCRIPTION AS A PERCEPTION
BY Bruce Duensing



"First you jump off the cliff and you build wings on the way down."
-Ray Bradbury

Everything that is living whether it is the bird sitting on the branch of the tree or the tree itself is energy in the form of information. In the early hours of morning at dawn, when their songs are sung, they sing a language so old, so insistent on being sung, it is as if I hear a hymn of praise to this process, dedicated to the differentiation of life itself, whether it is yours or mine that reaches far beyond that we can touch smell or see, into the firmament itself, this small and fragile bird sings. What an exquisite and precious phenomenon this is.

Through the scrim of appearances, we seek the door that has been left unlocked, the whispers of confidences from what we seek in our relentless quest to find, perhaps recall, who and what we are through the paranormal within a much larger scheme. Undoubtedly, at the same time we navigate experience through postulates at the deepest level of our connective tissue. We carry our pocket dictionary of existents through experiential reality where ever we go.

'A common assumption in the philosophy of mind is that of substrate-independence. The idea is that mental states can supervene on any of a broad class of physical substrates. Provided a system implements the right sort of computational structures and processes, it can be associated with conscious experiences. It is nor an essential property of consciousness that it is implemented on carbon-based biological neural networks inside a cranium: silicon-based processors inside a computer could in principle do the trick as well.'
-Nick Bostrom
