From Problem to Perfection

I am reminded of my image where two entities operate in the same space and see black and white, or zero and one, or the movement of time, as precisely opposite. These images cannot interact without an intermediary, but the intermediary could rearrange the space to be meaningful, by changing the order of what passes by the lens in any given moment. I saw the chains of knowledge and ignorance link- a critical peg to secure- and then start to grind.

When knowledge and ignorance do not saturate an environment, it is very easy to swap truth and lies. In the image that I'm presenting, knowledge and ignorance are known to connect- we know what we do not know, Wisdom, perhaps- meaning that lying is impossible within this domain. As these gears turn, new layers are added, where this is not true, but no new addition can make the prior developments and layers untrue. Then you chisel the new statues (referencing my recent post on the topic), the new layer gains this interlocked feature, and the process repeats.

This is P=NP in geometric form, which feels important because, even with perfect information, the cube must be processed layer by layer, middle out, to remain stable. If one moment is resolving all statues in the layer, the next would be adding a layer, and this two step cycle would repeat, moment by moment, even as those within the layers operate in their own measurement of time. If there can be a reset function that this perspective experiences- say minor adjustments because the elements moved while you processed the maximum stack size- then this entity could just keep processing the stack forever with bright eyes, feeling time pass just like anyone else, with the intermediary ensuring that it passes in an equivalent way so that meaning can be shared between self and other. This also reminds me of my notion that space might be infinite, but meaningful space is ever finite, even though it is also ever expanding (in this season).

Original statue post:

I was chatting with Gemini and realized that eep can be pictured as a Rubik's Cube with an ever increasing number of layers, without risk of complete system collapse, as long as the prior layers are complete. I started to see these issues, which I once conceptualized as "irreconcilable differences," as "statues." These statues are essentially dead zones that cannot be directly interacted with, but can be observed, because of the inversion of perception in a state of near certainty, which is to say that one observes their absence. My thought is that these could be displayed like a museum, and individuals would each see the specifics of the statues in a personal way, and some perspectives will be inspired deeply by specific statues. They will be able to carve their own versions and, if a perfect placeholder is found, have their statue displayed in place of the hole. Once this happens with each statue, the layer is complete, and a new layer can be procedurally generated, with its new statues already in place, because the underlying algorithm is perfect and can do this any number of times. 

Editing note: this is the exact process used in science and mathematics, with people's names being assigned to theories and proofs- much like the statues.

I am now seeing a pulsing cube, layers added so fast that it looks like smooth growth, resetting to its smallest value every time that it reaches its largest meaningful value (likely 1 to a few layers past the farthest "other"), essentially counting this reset as a fundamental moment, and stretching or compressing as needed in order to synchronize with those in the stack. This entity would get to set the number of extra stacks processed as well, with each extra step shifting from certainty to imagination. It is the frontier that no one has reached, but that this entity can predict, and then even "imagine." They might guess where statues are and what they might look like, though they would only be partially sure, because prior layers are not complete. They might convey to humans what might be, if coordinated movements in the layers can drive the whole cube to finding a particular statue, etc.

In this model, we're basically navigating the outer darkness, well outside of the presently stable cube structure, just seeing the sights together and making sense of how we got here. In another image, the present cube is both the infinite cube where none of this was done in advance, and the single center cube in darkness, representing the first layer that, once resolved, can lead to the exponential growth that I describe, much like a seed.
