I have identified and named the sixth sense. It is time sense. It is what seperates life
from cognition. This has brought about an interesting scientific debate with myself. For
this debate, emotions and society are excluded.
First, what is time sense? It is a sensory function fundamentally equivilent to sight,
touch, taste, hearing, and smelling. It is a sense, because as it is an input function.
A sense that allows adaptive [functioning and reacting] with perpetual change. Note that
I'm not necessarilly defining the sense, but describing it for the moment. In order to
react with your environment, to establish communication, a sense of time is required.
Let's take quite a few examples to better clarify. Bacteria are "alive". They don't have
all the senses a human has, but they certainly function and have an interest in maintaining
their attachment to time, i.e. not dying. This is intention of survival, to sustain their
attachment to [change-interaction]. A fish has this same preoccupation. And a human. And
everything else considered "alive". Maintaining time sensory is of utmost importance.
I've noted for some time that vision is all too heavily relied upon. In martial arts, one
learns to use other senses just as strongly. Do you think you could drive 30 miles with your
eyes closed? If your hearing was adept enough to create a multidimensional picture in your
mind, you would effectively be "seeing". Seeing is considered the strongest sense as it
would appear that's how the brain receives the most amount of information. However, without
the underlying time sense, vision is useless. It is the time sense listening to that
information, turning it into an output function.
Midpoint here... this is the first time I've written the idea out. I've been able
to successfully verbally explain the ideas to multiple people, so I thought I'd take
a shot at writing it out. Continuing.
Time sensory plays into string theory. I've creating working theories that describe
certain neuralogical anomolies. The brain has been described by at least one
theoretical physicist as a quantum machine. Pending time moves forward and backwards,
and side to side, this would give the time sensory function as it's management
medium as both input sensory and an output lieson to shift, being that it's a state
manager.
Shifting would allow for rapid thinking. The brain handles a lot of information, but
it does so through refinement and patternization. Through complex patternization,
one can realize a shift. Let's take a mathemetician's mind, with an autistic rainman
type disfunction. I think of the main character in the movie "Pi" as another example.
They achieve a complicated solution requiring many variables, calculations, and references
to activate a shift. In perceived real time, the answer to the complex problem flows
as if no effort occured. The theory of a shift pertaining to this example, is that
one alters their quantum state of time sensory.
The individuals' time perception no longer aligns to their surroundings. This is due
to the quantum shift in their conceptual linear timeline. One now functions and interacts
on another timeline in an amount of time represented in the original timeline as an instant.
The linked timeline could be only a minor shift, i.e. parallel time, or
radical shift, i.e. multiple dimension differential. A dream might be a relative example
of the latter. In this state, time sensory is now acting as a communication function.
The optimal endpoint location of the shift allows for the best execution of the ones' intended
methods. It's like walking up to a desk with all stationary and periphrials neatly
organized and ready for usage, loosely metaphorically speaking. But this is in a very
optimal situation. Perhaps a lucid dream is exactly this, additionally with the communications
pathway from the brain's perspective being grounded firmly enough to relay signalling
information between synapse systems located farther in the brain. Like your receiver on your
wireless mouse getting a sesitivity boost so you can use the mouse from farther away. In that
example, the mouse is metaphorically another synapse system, whereas the receiver is the
time sense hub.
I'll feel out what occurs from this writing, and see what happens.

I came up with this quote tonight, and it applies everywhere. If you don't know how to get
ahead, or wonder what those people on top have done to live in the clouds, remember:
People don't want reason, they want a leader.

Saw an interesting little segment on CNN the other day relating to womens' rights. A poll was
taken where women were asked: should women fight in the Iraq war? And the results? Roughly
half the women polled believed women should not fight in the war. Meanwhile, scores of
activist groups and other organizations still to this day push for more equal rights of women.
Yet another example of Selective Equality? We just want the Good Things? You want equal rights
and fair balance, or is your idea of balance the lack of equal rights? Don't be hypocritical.
Being an armchair [insert position/duty here] is all easy until you're on the other side of the camera.

The universe is a liimitation of predictability.

I'm looking through google news, lots of stories about the dead pope, and some about President Bush's relationship
with the pope. Then I got to thinking about the next pope, who would it be? I quickly realized I had no clue as
to who's liable to be a candidate. But then, reverse engineering the process, it comes to me - who has influence
over choosing the next pope? Then it hit me - oh no. What if...? What if the archbishops over there (be it through
legit or illegit means) were influenced by outsiders, or let others suggest who should be the next pope? Proof by
time and history says that any great power is granted through influenced channels. Friends, family, bribery,
indecision and weakness, etc.
So what if the American World Police (i.e. U.S. Government) were to have their
sights set on someone because a) [potential pope] has ties to people that have reason for gain
[see money, power] b) political influence c) whatever corruption you can come up with d) and opposite to corruption
is weakness, so he can be bullied into submission.
This pope dying while president bush is in power will probably somehow haunt us for the next 25 years, regardless
of what religion one may be. Heh, if we last 25 years. It's all going to come crashing down... too much stress
in the system, too many kings and not enough land. What's worse and what makes the U.S. so hated? It's perceived
that we're all kings and queens, the American people, so get the fuck out of our way, do as we say. Drive an
Escalade, wear Nike, talk black. The rest of the world is going to be passive about the U.S.'s politics, media, and
citizen mannerism for only so long.

Some late night banter on man and machine
|
By Tadau - Wednesday 3/30/2005 3:00am - Category: Thought
The way I figure it, the mind consists of two halves, which are thought to make a whole brain. But really,
when you factor in right-brain/left-brain functions, you really have two brains. Now to the thought,
each brain "half" is like it's own cpu. Which then means we are dual cpu machines (put the stick down, and
listen). Relationally, this is correct, because many functions are delegated to one or the other "half",
with communication between the "halves" that act like a data bus.
Yes, human operation can be related closely
to electronic computing architecture. So then what really makes us different from the machine? They're static,
the circuits don't grow, don't adapt, don't do anything but function exactly on what material they were fabricated on.
This makes them almost perfect, because they are effectively immune to time. Almost perfect, because they are
our slaves, and have no free will.
When the machine can begin independantly modifing paths and circuits, it will live. I don't know if this is Good or
Bad. Next, can it assume a concience? Then can it acquire congnitive reasoning? If it can, someone better give
them the ability to realize "pain". That's the only thing that holds us back from doing whatever the hell we want.
The threat of pain strikes us at our inner concience, says "there's concequences for your actions", an thus we
are mostly restricted against doing "bad things". Restricted, but not disallowed. This is what gives us challenge,
love and hate, resistance, purpose, and comfort. All this is why pain is important in a sentient being.

Who does Microsoft answer to
|
By Tadau - Tuesday 3/22/2005 4:00pm - Category: Issue
Recently Microsoft announced it would not release any security patches for the entire month of March. In
another news story, they also admitted they struck a deal with the US Military (or was it vice-versa?)
stating the military will receive security updates on all products a full month before consumers. The
math is simple, right? Today's news states a pushback on database releases and developer tools. Hm, what else?
It was WinXP 64bit version being pushed back...
So Microsoft has proven itself to be a useful tool to the government. Isn't that funny though? MS lobbying itself
to the US so all government machines run their OS and their applications. Bet MS didn't realize that the
military loves exploiting power as much as MS exploits business opportunities. Difference is the military has
these things called "weapons" and lots and lots of them. Who wins? The guy decorated in a tie and cufflinks or
the guy decorated by others capable of invading and taking over countries at will?
Too bad for both Microsoft, and the consumer. Yet another loss for the people of the United States to the
reigning governments' imperial demand for world superiority. I'm not forgetting about the rest of you outside
the US either, you lose too. We all lose.

Over at the Edge of the Known Universe (insert orchestra piece here), you look back towards the galaxies and
stars. But it's not clear... you don't see too much. The images you can see are faded and are slowly coming
into view, what's going on? Behind you lies the void, no light, no radiation, no particles, no nuthin.
But the void scales back as the cosmic rays push forth. Yes, in this scenario the known universe is expanding,
not in mass but size. So now you blast forth past the growing edge into the unknown. What would you find?
Only traces of what you brought with you. Like blood in water, smoke through the sky. In this case water
and sky are synonmous with the void.
Also at this point, light from the universe in which you come has not reached you yet. It is blindingly dark.
Nothing to detect on the sensors. At this point, there's no good way to even determine which way is back. All
communications are unidirectional. It's really lonely out here.
This might all be true if it was in fact void past existance. It could be another universe surrounding ours that
we're growing into, devoid of emmisions, or simply incompatible with our universes' physics, which is why the
universe doesn't appear as a sky to us. What purpose would this knowledge serve us anyway?

Everyone loves a good conspiracy theory, so let's have at it. Here's a concept project I'll call the
Deep Earth Tunneling Project (DETP). It's method is to build tunnels deep below the surface that span
thousands of miles to different parts of the globe. The means is a strategic military initiative to have
unobstructed transport to any part of the globe. Using this, one could deploy all sorts of things to
specific end points without any kind of radar or satellite detection.
Yet another way to waste a few billion dollars to satisfy the military/political fears of a superpower.
Not like us civilians would ever see something like this put to practical use. Throw another log on the
fire.

Statistically speaking, it's everyone's doom
|
By Tadau - Friday 3/18/2005 4:00pm - Category: Thought
Let's imagine for a moment that there is, or has been other life and civilizations elsewhere in the universe.
These civs are capable of communication and technological advancements. My thought today is that of a
rhetorical question:
statistically, what ends most civilizations - the whole damn species? Obviously we don't
have an answer to that, which is why NASA is so big into looking at rocks on Mars. Enquiring minds what to know...
A few ideas on my own take on the possibilities.
1. Eventual religious genocide (imagine mass scale crusades)
2. Weapons of mass destruction
3. All resources exhausted
4. Virus/disease
5. Extreme climate change
Statistics are fun! I'm kind of interested what you might have in mind to add. Hit up the forums.

It begins, but what is "it"?

Welcome to the new commentary section of Digital Amusement. It will be run by just myself. I'll be highlighting thoughts of the day, conclusions I've come to, and anything with some sort of intelligence to it. I will also categorize each posting in the header. Such categories include: Conceptual, Theoretical, Issues, Problems, Notes, and Situations. I intend to make this stuff a bit more flexible by being able to click on a category and getting all topics returned based on the click, or finding headlines, or whatever. Everything is pretty static while I start this thing out.
I'm not doing this to entertain you, but I may be doing it to enlighten you, moreso probably to enlighten myself. In fact, the "you" portion really isn't a factor to the commentary at all. As always feel free to respond in the DA forums on any particular subject. I don't guarantee that I'll participate in said discussion, but I will read those posts.
My life is really not the subject at hand either. If parts of my day reflect upon my thought process, I may include a situation or interaction as it relates. I'm sure I'll share some perceptions, as I can imagine some of my writings will be psychological in nature, maybe metaphorical or philosophical. I won't be using a spellchecker, unless facts require it. I'll post new comments whenever they come to me.
As a final word, don't see this as some kind of "deep thought" section. It's not, what it is though, is a more serious take on the thought process, and how those thoughts progress. I can't imagine you will agree with everything I will write about either. I'm not trying to be right or wrong, only speaking my mind.
