mindstream 090909

Woke up at 4am or so and eventually had to wake enough to make some notes, and eventually had to get up. Came up with the following thought-streams:
  • phases of social realisation
  • enlightenment next: first-last to latest
  • pay the individual, not the group
  • times table, and fractions there-of
  • conditions for exponential social explosion, in eg tango
  • cycles: heartbeat, breath, mind
  • mistaken associations and fine vibes
  • comprehending the lotus flower
Is that enough? I'll describe them each a little, more for my own thinking than to explain. Oh, and speaking to Sofia, giving the last one and the second, reminded of plastacine sculptures.

phases of social realisation
0 oh...
to notice an idea
a possible event
create a class
1 ah!
noticing another person's idea, event, or class
by plusing it wrt espian tent, or retweeting it
and allocating some pecus to it
2 o
threshold of interest
when the sum of interest > x
(x specified by the originator)
the originator or whoever defines the projection and applies will to it
3 k
people who noticed originally are reinformed of threshold
and define their own projection
and apply a k-value of enthusiasm
4 !
the event actually occurs
with various threshold calculations based on the sum of k
or a set number of k-10's
or whatever

enlightenment next: first-last to latest
It's the latest people who join a group that define it, not the pioneers, the early ones. Older, original followers get bored... it's like watching the same film. Also, the power of prototype, allows peeps to define the idea they have just been told... their response is essential!

pay the individual, not the group
Obvious really. Pay a group, and it lives. Pay an individual, and it pays.

times table, and fractions there-of
Eg 3 6 9 12... 6 is 1/2 of 12, 9 is 3/4 of 12... do this with all the tables, at different amounts of a table, as it were... ie, don't think of a table as complete. Just runs of multiples. AMAZINGLY SIMPLE. Always wondered how to introduce fractions, and this is it. Making relationships between the multiples. So simple.

conditions for exponential social explosion, in eg tango
If people invited must bring along two partners, this may create clumps of 4, since each dancer is inviting two opposite sex partners. This is like a neutron being absorbed in a carbon atom. The trick is to enforce externalisation. That is, you can't invite someone who has already been invited. For this to work, you could simply say invite one partner. Two makes it a lot faster. Keep track of this using prototype?

cycles: heartbeat, breath, mind
Heartbeat 60 bpm, breathing 10 bpm... what about mind? Emotions also have a different period. They all have period. Flux.
Also, dancing when the music is inside, whereas moving to an enforced rhythm becomes machine-like. The reason why modern dance music was offencive to older generation is because the music was outside and could not believe it was possible to internalise that speed.
The meme-period, daily routine, cleaning teeth, etc, calling ourselves certain names...

mistaken associations and fine vibes
To contemplate the body as having a history, even from birth, from the first DNA formation from male female parents, is amazing. To think of the genotype history, mammals, fish, amoeba, life is astounding too. And this is mostly physical, even if we consider structure and energistics. We can also think about memes, language forms, parental patterns, cultural forms, also finding themselves in history, eg cities, money, wording, astounding range too.
However these are all observing the stream as it passes, and thinking about the source and the result... whereas one is just here and now. This instant. Nice vibe though.
May be an association of this contemplation, and vibration, and the finer petals of the lotus flower.

comprehending the lotus flower
This, or not this, what is left? Sure, not sure, what is left? Male, not male, what is left? Brother, not brother, what is left? A petal is a thought of association, often positive, attachment. A petal is also a thought of not, often negative, imaginary, aversion.
As the petals open, as we become aware and do not associate ourselves, so what is left becomes free as it were. There is nothing at the end of it, no thing, no heart, just the open space above the lotus flower, the revealing of itself.
If we peel apart these layers, we are analysing, whereas if we let them unfold, we are becoming.
I associate this with a torus, smoke ring... and the inverse mind-drop solution.
