“It is all of a piece, with the strange exception that many of the seeming ‘elements’ are interference phenomenon, by which I mean phenomenon whose nature and appearance are the result of the peculiar and often coherent interference of what might be readily understood as multiple even continua. A crude visual example of this phenomenon can be observed in moiré patterns.

These matters become terrifically stranger when we speak specifically of the the domains relevant to biocognitive representation, or consciousness. This, too, may be explored using the idea that it is an ambient interference artifact produced by multiple continua in focal relation.

But I will not leave you with such a dry and formal description, for all that is true is true far beyond these speculations, and consciousness can be understood as ‘the little place that the universe decided to pack away its most exotic and esoteric aspects of character’. And you’re one of the most sophisticated embodiments of that within local animalian forms. That’s something worth celebrating, revering, and exploring… together.”
