Particle of Consciousness
It takes an infinite amount of energy to produce a single point.
What if consciousness could be thought of in a similar fashion to the quantum phenomenon – in that it could be described in terms of waves, with thoughts being “fundamental particles of consciousness”, and the awareness of any event consisting of a collection of these fundamental particles to make up the collection of thoughts that make up any event we are conscious of? Just as we have the fundamental particles of quantum thermodynamics that make up the atoms with which our world is comprised. Interestingly enough, these sub-atomic particles seem to exist close to the realm of consciousness – that of unseen events.
I would even go so far as to propose that a thought is a fundamental particle too. These particles form a “thought wave” which collapses also in some magical way. One could say that by completing a thought, the thought waves have now collapsed into a thought…
If enough of these waves positively interact, a “thought” emerges by the process of accumulation - like waves crossing on the ocean, just as a particle would form when there is enough density, that is, accumulation of energy, to be measured. But if the waves are negative, then there it will counter their emergence — resulting in a decrease in consciousness. And, as nature abhors a void, this lack, or emptiness will be filled — by whatever manages to claim this open space in your consciousness.
Information / Event
An event consists of the information (form) and the distribution (energy) of this information. It can often be seen as an action, a change, and of course, each event will produce a change in the system, even if only felt locally…
This event mapping forms the topology of your persona. Tracking the data (i.e. information) flow can produce a very complete profile one’s persona, sufficient to enable predictability and thus manipulation.
Predictive Behaviour
#tol {.tag .is-dark}
Would it not be possible to make certain predictions of behaviour if one tracked people’s narratives that way? Would one not begin to have certain mappings, certain responses that one would be able to identify? Research shows that it would collapse at each juncture to a relatively small number of possibilities.
This is a whole new area of activity to investigate. A predictive algorithm based on behaviour patterns from the past. But over time, would it not be possible to see the same patterns emerging. I am not sure of the variance here, but I don’t think it will be large.
That previous paragraph was written in the late 90’s. Time has shown that to be correct, with Cambridge Analytics, Google, Facebook, etc and their gathering of data on people, and then using AI for predicting behaviour. Also, by controlling the narrative, one can also shape people behaviour, by stimulating certain proclivities and suppressing others.
