It’s all being proven!

EPR (popularly known as ‘quantum entanglement’) proves not only that everything is connected, but that everything is interdependent. And by everything, I mean both that which we can observe and that which we never will but can deduce from the negative space containing that scattered information… known ever after to us only as ‘the imponderable’. […]

The Analogous City – Hypertext meets Neocortex – The Pattern

Humans have spent all existence confining, defining, and refining concepts of relation between things. Any activity can be defined as a series of state changes whose only common denominators are energy / matter in a positive / negative / imponderable state. The level of refinement needed is inversely proportionate to the level of sustainability expected. The […]
