Awareness Development

Slave/Master relationship,
(servant, served,)
*Fulfillment of need determines existence.
*Served-no worldly needs-pursuit of erotic.
*Servant -fulfills needs of Served.

Construct
*visual/mental
*biological/non-biological
*a constant for consideration
The construct is a series of 5 bottles on a shelf
Observer as Servant
*fulfills needs of construct with mere acknowledgement.

Observer as Served
*construct serves observer by providing information.
Each new piece of information received by viewer recontextualizes construct.

Observer as Servant
*observer reacknowledges the construct.
Back and forth switches in Servant to Served relationship in millisecond shifts, with the construct becoming more complex with each millisecond that passes.

Complex Construct
*experienced by more than one observer at a time
*TV allows for the same experience at the same time, by millions.
*The construct becomes more valuable to human existence with the increase in numbers of observers.

Looker/ Seer
Looker
*attains information-Served
Seer
*merely acknowledges construct-Servant.
Can specific looker/Seer shifts be choreographed into a construct?
*Vacant vs. crowded spaces.
How are Looker/Seer shifts stimulated?
*deconstruction/certification
*public/private

Voyeur
Voyeur inverts the typical architectural paradigm. Observer not intended to see inside, rather, sees outside of the building. The inhabitants look outside.

Wall Street
*quintessential Looker/Seer model
During the day bustling with people and empirical data flow, the buildings serve as shields of armor for the arteries of world business activity within. During the night, the arteries empty out, the buildings become placid transparent beautiful forms. The innocent (hapless) voyeur need only catch the incredible light show created by the hundreds of lit offices to look up and in to the buildings.

Habit
Repetitive experience as identity
*retention of recognized experience informs future recognition.
*reception – perceptual activity
*projection – application of engagement with a construct

Difference
The differences inherent within any comparison are traces of the events, which occurred, ultimately describing the purity of the cause and effect collection amounting to the elements of the comparison. The difference does not define any meaning which has been applied to the cause and effect scenario. The clarity of the activity which brought about the situation is exposed in comparative analysis, the notion of significance is an event which must be applied
with linguistic detail, as an added layer of engagement with the elements being compared.

Thinking that precedes perception and action is causal thinking, devised events or intention. The editing of intention occurs after perception of the action, “That wasn’t my intention.”

The use of suggestion to interpret perceptual activity confuses the looker / seer paradigm. A person receives a prediction from a psychic that they don’t believe, then the predicted event actually occurs, and this confuses the person’s sense of being. Exposure to advertisements and advice from a friend or a therapist are other examples which can provide extra-intellectual mechanics for use in navigating perceptual information.

Perception formed by an unconscious state (a dream or a coma etc.) confuses the simple looker / seer ordering. The understanding informed by a direct unconscious state, that is one in which the perceiver is considered unconscious, accesses the tools of control and memory in a different manner, as intention may be differently directed.
To what end do people go to reference the original. What is the minimal amount of information required
to trigger a comparison with the origin of an element.
A plastic lemon which is identical to a natural lemon.
A photo of a natural lemon.
A lemon yellow colored table.

1. At what point is difference established?
2. When and why do we end our comparison with the simulated and the inferred original?
3. Does the result of the comparison between the simulated and the inferred original, signal the purpose or intention behind the act of the simulation?

Can a correlation be drawn between the referenced and the inferred (implied and perceived?)
Can a correlation be drawn between the referenced and the inferred (implied and perceived?)

Let : X= context, N= new, R= referenced, I= inferred, C= correlation, A= active memory, Z= inactive memory (not consciously active)
R + I = C, followed in a millisecond by R + IC = NC, then R + INC = NNC etc

Coupled with a condition of reception and perception like memory:

A + Z = X
--------------- = next millisecond
R + I = C


Could time be determined to exist as perceptual activity, reflecting the common sentient condition of humankind?

A woman sitting at an outdoor cafe says to her companion “nice tree,” the companion looks and sees no tree, but rather an awning above them with an all over printed leaf pattern on it. Would the woman have said “nice tree” if the pattern had appeared on the tablecloth instead of the awning above?





Quaint is a simplified range of possibility.
The loss of possibility condenses the experience of renewed context, creating a void within the Reference / Inference model of the non-quaint. The non-quaint or less quaint, situation has a broader band of possibilities for renewing contextual foundation.


Reference / Inference – Intention / Reception
Reference and the resulting inference are a system based in deconstructive activity.
Intention and reception of an intended idea are based on supposition, drawn from the context in which the idea was communicated.


Intention – Reception
The curious gap between the intended idea and its reception by a perceiver.
The great pyramids.
MTV
Non-electronic face to face conversation


Can an idea be communicated throughout time?
If yes, how does an idea become timeless?
If no, how is intention lost?


The tabulation of millisecond shifts over 60.000 years?


Can a millisecond shift in context be mapped and tied to the activity which caused it?

Can the movement of each particle of sand in the oceans be considered a record of the unified activities, which brought about the movement?

Is a grain of sand or a human breath, actually a computer of the likes we have not yet developed, capable of down loading, saving, processing and re-presenting 60,000 years of continuous millisecond shifts in context and all within a millisecond?
