De-composting Love

Can you truly love a rock,
you’ve never directly seen or touched,
or some other relatively inanimate object,
like ego-centrism,
or a steel wall?

If so, then how is your love
different from a more unilateral “appreciate you”?

If not, then what is different between your “love”
and your “co-passions”,
compassion,
passion with and toward,
but not “passionate energy received from,” necessarily,
or, Yes! Necessarily!?

How do you know your love is also co-passion,
reiterated and returned,
however un-equivalently expressed it may be?
Is this not a matter of positive teleological faith,
of enthymematic hope,
in that boundary time between stimulus and response,
before and after,
subject and objective,
identity and relationship,
in an environ-mental health that is,
by default,
setting aside mutual immunity barriers,
to more courageously and opportunistically co-habitate,
co-incident,
co-passion love,
rather than fear, anger, anxiety,
all dissonance settings of negative default,
oppressive to self,
suppressive of others’ natural positivity,
default tipping point barometer,
that the value of one positive opportunity
edges out double-binding disvalues of two passively negative non-risk takers,
hoarding against a future
more fully defended as a contentious ally of death-defying hope.

Did You Notice?

Did you notice:

What you have for breakfast,
despite what Mom said,
is probably less important than who you do
and do not
have breakfast with,
and why?

The brand and make and year of your car
are less significant to your well-being
than the costs to you,
your family,
and their future?

The quality of your time
is less about how much you earn
and more about what you do,
and what you are unwilling to do,
to earn it?

You probably never respond to questions about how much you care for someone with the amount of time you spend with them,
“about 8.5 hours per week,”
while you might discuss how often,
and for how long,
you miss them in a week,
if at all?

When the quality of your well-intended humor
is measured in the number of smiles responding,
rather than the number of non-responses,
then you are in some serious trouble?

“Living” nature is not distinguished from “dead” nature,
by calculating quantities of difference,
but by noticing differences in quality of relationships.

You might define your love life as any hours without fear or anger,
or you might find that absence of fear and anger is necessary,
but not sufficient, for loving awareness?
If you have a higher bar,
faces of apathy and despair
are companions not possible to embrace
with love’s sufficiently empathic resonance.

DNA is a newer anthro-cultural language of intelligence
compared to older RNA regenerative non-self-consciousness?
Wouldn’t we be foolish
to disrespect our ecological Elder’s mental-environ conscience
to listen monopolistically enslaved to Left-brain’s competing dominance,
with comparatively adolescent language choices?
What good is deductive reasoning
attenuated from it’s natural,
and most nutritious,
source of fuel fertility?

Throwing out RNA’s primal
and ubiquitous regenerative intelligence
to value only DNA’s more recent humane reiteration,
reflecting on this (0)-Core prime consciousness,
throws out a cooperatively healthy baby
to hoard the bathwater?
Better outcomes could ensue
for the baby,
the water,
and you,
by bathing together in this nuclear stew.

You fall asleep in front of the TV
trying to stay awake
to watch something that apparently is much less entertaining
and healthy
than pursuing your own nightly dreams?

Living and dying are opposites,
but “living” comes in a spectrum
from “full” through “suffering dissonance”;
yet “dying” never comes in a correlated spectrum
from “purgative alacrity” through “contented confluence”?

When you stop using your mind
for anything resembling socially constructive purposes
it continues rattling on day after day
as if anyone were still attending;
but when you stop using your body
it almost immediately begins shutting down
as if no one needed tending?

Tao of Universal Balance

“At the deepest level of reality the only force is gravity.”

Bill Laporte-Bryan (www.billlaportebryan.com, “A Theory of Everything”)

In the beginning was bilateral, binomial, mutually prime relational, gravity.

Gravity is convexly expressed as positively radiant 3-spatial dimension curvilinear, ionic-balance-seeking energy.

Gravity is concavely impressed as binomially negative ergodic-balance-remembering (0)-dimensional syntropy. Buckminster Fuller defines syntropy as “Energy associative [rather than radiantly disassociative] as matter precession [emergent, or predicated, predicted, potential, and/or Bohm’s Implicate Order], gravity, magnetic, interference knotting.” (p. 694, 1975, Synergetics)

A prime gravitational epicenter is compatible with Euler’s view that universe’s geometric form follows prime relational “crossover” function. Bucky adds positive-space to double-knotted-time to Eulerian metric prime relational function. It is this intersection of cosmology and the abstractions of metric Group Theory that I anticipated Max Tegmark might mention in his work on universe as math-rooted (2014).

From this bi-dimensional prime perspective, as convex v. concave expression of universally coserved energy, convex explicit-positive radiant expression takes on a permacultural face of physical universe’s emergence through time; our cosmic breathing outward.

A reverse-temporal view of (0)-sum gravitational emergence may lead us back to an elder point of dense Origin as the gravitational Black Hole breathing in of Time’s de-spaciating, re-integrative energy.

This perspective on the evolving nature of an emergent spacetime universe seems compatible with Buckminster Fuller’s view that Physical Universe = Gravity * Radiant-Energy(squared), which Bucky understood as his transposition of Einstein’s E=M * c(squared).

This bilateral view of convex/radiant and concave/gravitational conservation of ionic-positive and ergodic-doublenegative energy is also ecologically equivalent to Taoism’s prime dynamic relatioinship of Yang v. Yin functions. Yang has the classic teleologist’s positive-emergent-power perspective, while Yin enjoys a more mystically esoteric, “camouflage,” double-negative, not this-not that, gravitational (0)-sum ergodic conservancy, rooted in reverse-temporal (permacultural) memory.

Just as gravity is intrinsically binomial with physical universe, so too radiantly positive information (the opposite trajectory of dysfunctional “noise” or chaos, entropic lack of “difference”–G. Bateson) is explicitly binomial within metaphysical human comprehension of physical universe.

Gravity’s (0)-Core universal septum between right and left, up and down, in and out, cultural perspectives is logically equivalent with time’s every-present “now” boundary, distinguishing past spatial evolution from future’s co-symbiotic emergent syntax.

If we transpose trinitarian dimensions of cosmology, Taoism, and Christianity, the intrinsically coincidental nature of 3-in-1 identity of binomial synergetics may look more familiar.

Progenitor – “Fr”       Energy                Tao

Creation – “Son”       Space-convex     Yang – power

Spirit – nature           Time-bilateral      Yin(yin) balance

Perhaps Taoism and Christianity each add a Prime Principle of Thermodynamic Balance to the scientific view that energy is perpetually conserved. If so, it may also be the case that information, like all spatial form and memory and code and iconic symbolism, is binomially conserved through the balance of Polynomial with Not-Not Polynomial Information algorithmic bicameral processing assumptions.

 

Metaphysics as Metric Systemics

Math, understood as metric systemic language, forms a teleological bounary between eco-terra conscientific truth, fairness, goodness, beauty, proportional balance, Logos of harmonic v. dissonant physical form,

on one hand, and on the lower-darker side of the cognitive boundary, within Freud’s “subconscious”,

eso-teric Mythic Dark spirit-natural double-binding relationships within metaphysical cultures; like numerology and alchemy, mythology and astrology and crystal-gazing.

Cosmology is the Positive Landscape of math’s scientific articulation, calculation, stratefication, group and set logical-identity theories, applied to positive cosmological flow patterns, like evolution, rhythms, seasons, biological and ecological functions and frequencies, environ-mental eco-normic systemization. An ancient Chinese word for this cosmological metrical systemization is “chi;” sometimes translated as “soul.” Metric system languages, to be successful, to endure, must be fully deductive and inductive accessible to consciousness, equivalently regenerative and decompositional, as intelligibly regenerative information, rather than random irrational chaos and cognitive dissonance. Metric systemic articulation would appear appropriate and sufficient, perhaps even necessary, language for learning about primal, origination, optimization, ultimate destiny predication cosmological issues bridging Teilhard de Chardin’s blinding diastatic enlightenment Omega Point with our more secular Solar Systemic Black Hole.

This Black Hole has shown both a Steven Hawking intensely transparent +Vectoral face OVER its more traditional (-,-) vortexial, mutually gravitational, Double Dark relationship as Binomial (0) soul, within math’s Group Theory (see Gregori Perelman, for example), which might be labeled, if one did believe we live within a metrically relational system, as a Universal Field Theory of Everything.

David Bohm and Buckminster Fuller coincidentally and correlationally developed cosmological theories of geometric/biometric binomial analogical [equals binary digital] Universal Form as bi-cioncidental and dia-correlational dual universed. Universe’s convex face is +protonic vertex “Explicate Order” AND universal dynamic double-dark function as (-,-) neutron/electromagnetic, gravitational thermodynamic, ionic, ergodic balance of four equivalent (fractal formed natural syntax) spacetime vortex “Implicate Order”, which is considerably more rationally accessible than a “cloud of unknowing,” entropic chaos engulfed in cognitive dissonance.

Also coincidentally, but further removed culturally and paradigmatically, Julian Jaynes’ life work explored an evolutionary ethological theory (functionally equivalent to a “teleological” theory) of bicameral consciousness through neural design and bi-systemic development.  Jaynes authenticated his evolutionary perspective with anthropological records of the development of communication as left-brain deductive language dominance over an older “bicameral” emergence stage of schizophrenic communication between Ego-Left hemisphere listening to the Elder Right-brain’s exegetical “God” governance messages. These messages began with what to do in a synaptic crisis, lacking explicit-deduced information, thereby initiating a threshold of dissonant “sub”conscious awareness. This psychological view of cultural evolution provides a SuperEco-Progenitor creating Logos syntax, icons, nomials, memes, and eventually numeric form and function; all this to further Left-brain’s pilgrimage toward a more comprehensive consciousness.

Bicameral dynamics of Left-languaged-Logos v. Right-temporal-relational-Mythos seem generally consistent with subsequent split-brain research. A +/(-,-) 0-centric dimensional metric system might hypothesize a neurally bicameral anthrocentric balancing brain shares a primal metric binomiality of form and function with Explicate Universe(+) OVER neural electronic (-,-) implicating (mutual-gravitational inhale function) relationship of balanced thermodynamic and electromagnetic function. Prime root systemetrics are only regeneratively sustained fractals within a 4 equivalent dynamic syntaxed universe, as suggested by the structure of RNA and its DNA bi-elliptical cousin. DNA’s regenerative intelligence predicts both a progenitive AND (0)Mega bilaterally universal spacetime as +Binomial Left-deductive informational language = (-,-) Binomial Right-inductive functional-temporal prime metric Dark Relationship. Fuller was particularly taken with the notion of RNA’s fractal syntax having evolved metric Optimally Continuous Quality Improvement regenerative normative structure for 4-Based universal dynamic intelligence

Wrapping in the Clay Math P v. NP metric issue, looking for a metric language that could predict resonance and resolution of algorithms in real-timespace, we might restate Gregori Perelman’s (0)-Soul Theorem as

+P v. (-)NP

OVER

+P/(-,-)0 bi-normative smooth-fractal syntaxed, 0-dimensional chi, soul, convex/concave balanced eco-core metasystemic universe.

Informational octaves are +/(-) double-bound QByte branches on a reverse hierarchical, Win-Win Game Tree of Life and Death; all equivalent, yet ectosymbiotic language, for

Polypathic “Good” v. Not-Polynomial “Evil” irrationality of cognitive dissonance.

However, as we culturally step into the bicameral-binomial solar systemic and anthrocentric neural systemic double-hypothesis that Polynomial Spatial Information (regenerative spin) = Not-Not Polynomial Temporal Exformation (decompositional spin), this could articulate a real-spacetime comprehensive consciousness polypathically transcending analogical, ecological, economic, and binary-digital information/exformation paradigms.

Note to Bill Laporte-Bryan: Quirks = +QBytes, I think?, and (-/-) Binomial Quits = +/-0-dimensional QBits of primally syntaxed information, nested in octave “QBytes”, operating in bicameral information processing “open” systems with P=NP = +/(-,-) double-binding heuristic syntax double-binding boundary settings for systemic logic. The alternative theory is Chaos Theory, which I think is about cognitive dissonance and cosmological entropy rather than cognitive bicameral consciousness and cosmological negentropic dark eco-holonic relationship (think “unitarian” as appositional to “Universalist” as polycultural is to monocultural value-function.

Karma Grace

Our species’ karma
holds reasons and seasons with vast authority
color and romance
discipline and disaster
nature and spirit
to inform my family’s karma.

My family’s karma
explains my vocation and purpose
with far more authority and truth
goodness and beauty
peace with justice
terror and vitality
shock and awe and wonder
than my own proprietary ego-eco,
Left v. Right brain conversation,
truncated from where this ego originated
and future this eco-intelligence invites.

My own co-operative karma
invites vocation and purpose
as liturgy invites song and dance,
procession and pilgrimage
across each day
swimming through each night’s dreams
with vigorous resonance and resolution;
which too often feels overwhelming by light of day.

Now, which battle lines do I really want to draw today?
And why not draw them more inclusively,
to struggle with each other
to find our balancing equivalence
our solidarity of mutual subsidiarity
together noticing twilight lines each day’s shared battles
waiting to breathe through another day.

Our species’ permacultural language
and DNA encoded memory
holds reasons and seasons
with personally cooperative authority.

On Eco-Logical Economics

If you have not read Riane Eisler’s “The Real Wealth of Nations” (2012) and John Michael Greer’s “Wealth of Human Nature” (2011), please do at least read one or the other.

Eisler thinks it is time to replace an overly-dominant, capital-based, competitive cultural understanding of Business As Usual Means Marginalized Lives Don’t Matter, evolved through the Industrial Age. She contrasts this with our “real”, but undervalued wealth of nurturance and care-giving. This is an explicit feminist perspective on economics and the logic and balance of ecologically-informed economics. My only complaint is not about what she has written, but about the “sin” of omitting all the vast financial and cultural research on co-operative economics, which seems to incorporate values for recycling, repurposing, rehabilitation, zero carbon footprint lifestyle intentions, as well as the organizing of co-operatives around child care, elder care, household cleanliness and order, landscaping, cooking and preserving, gardening and farming.  These are all cultural elements of what Thich Nhat Hanh would encourage us to think of as a nurturing-nutritional economy v. a domineering-toxic environment of oppressing and suppressing our natural and ecological instincts.

John Michael Greer’s analysis of our capital/commodity competitive Business As Usual economics-as-financial-transaction monopoly and monotony is entirely symbiotic with Eisler’s blistering critique.  His alternative trend view is more eco-logically focused as a logic that is our undervalued HUMAN natural wealth. If we follow what is ecologically rational more, and avoid further investment in what is merely more competitive ego-investment of an anthro-culturally supremacist species, we may have more sustainable hope for our collective future. Like Eisler, however, Greer fails to take that one additional ecological step, to notice that organic living nature is essentially co-operative until the point when trends start moving toward decay and devolution.  Economics, whether competitively-rooted in Win-Lose capitalist Game Theory, or cooperatively-rooted in Win-Win positive evolutionary Game Theory, is relational network praxis of ecological systemic intent, continuing our cultural revolution toward comprehensive consciousness.

Transactions and relationships are synonymous as reiteratively equivalent communication strings of memory and cultural history, whether we are speaking of micro-economics, or macro-economics, or both.  Our prime ecological assumption is that we live in a positively co-operative evolutionary environment, too often troubled by negatively competing Win-Lose strategies and logistics assuming a shortage of “wealth” resources, which may be reminiscent of Anderson’s “Emperor with No Clothes.” If the socioeconomic and too-long encultured pathology of over-valuing competition are precisely what point to their own nakedly devolving and decomposing future, then hope dawns with this red horizon; our socioeconomic therapy is a deeper permacultured economics of co-operative ecology, design, and developmental praxis.

At the micro-economic personal and familial and local community levels, I have found the following areas of discernment on “Win-Lose Competition Economics” v. “Win-Win Co-Operative Economics” useful:

  1. Purchasing decisions: Housing, transportation, utilities, food, insurance come immediately to mind as having rich potential to benefit our shared environment and my personal checking account and the quality of my relationships with family and neighbors when approached with a “Group Purchasing Co-Operative” intention.  When do I need a car and when do I not, and do I know other people, or is there some way I could get to know other people, who might answer that question in a way that is mutually compatible with my answer?
  2. Investment decisions: Insurance shows up here again, with retirement investment, and even regular savings and checking account relationships with financial institutions and companies who will use my payments to invest in what, exactly? I am increasingly uncomfortable with knowing that many insurance and financial corporations are taking my capital and investing it in Business As Usual, especially as it occurs to me that there are ways to invest in cooperative funds investing solely in my region of habitat, excluding those businesses with toxic outcomes for our shared environment, other species, and also for their employees, and giving preference to investments in worker- and resident-cooperative ownership.
  3. Relational decisions: While purchasing and investment are also relational, we usually think of them as transactions. So, this broader category continues to evolve on my own path toward a more comprehensive ecological co-operative consciousness. How do I choose to respond to messages from my own family that betray contention between egocentrism and eco-logical balance?  These are at least potential opportunities for some rich conversation about what we value, including sustainability of life, and what we disvalue. As I am now well-immersed in my twilight years, it becomes increasingly obvious that what I have always enjoyed about my internal contentions is how they have a way of resolving most resonantly when my egocentric left-brain embraces my ecocentric right-brain’s intuitions for right-relationship, for what is, after all, transparently eco-logical.

Eisler and Greer both point to some public policy and priority changes that would help each of us sustain our ego-eco alignment. I agree with all of this agenda.  I further believe that the principles and ethics of Permaculture could be more broadly applied to any evolutionary paradigm for relationships, transactions, actions, being and becoming on planet Earth, within our bodies and families and neighborhoods and ecosystems. Some principles that feel permacultural, but may not appear in your sustainable agriculture text:

  1. Never give up. Always, whenever possible, give downstream to enrich solidarity with those living more marginally than you are. This applies to investment and purchasing decisions, as well as all relational discernment.
  2. Don’t give out after struggling and suffering against; always give in while struggling and suffering with others, nature, human nature, your own ecologic.
  3. The best case scenario for sustaining  a Win-Lose Game, is to embrace Win-Win logistics and strategies whenever you can find a regenerative way to do so. Otherwise, the ecological long-term conclusion of Win-Lose ego-domination logistics is you might possibly win, but only after everyone else understands themselves as “losers” in your eyes; a pyric victory with deadening cost to water, soil, air, and the former wealth of human nature.

Still Within Time’s Core

Still within this beginning of Time,
Her Goddess planted
one Tree of Life and Death
regenerating cycles of RNA intelligence
and permaculture.

RNA was and is in and of this Tree of Time
searching for what might rhyme
and rhythm as DNA collateral,
bi-elliptically smooth structuring
boundaries of genetic syntax.

Sun God impregnated RNA’s
Tree Time of ReGeneration
sprouting DNA’s bicameral disposition
as if the Tree of Life and Death
had itself transformed
into a Second Millennial Tee of Knowledge of “Good” and “Evil”
as Life and Death,
ego’s left-brain deductive transposition
of eco’s right-brain Yang v. Yin disposition,
primal relationship,
comprehensively bilateral,

DNA started developing
icons and symbols of natural system experience,
and their dynamic seasonal-fractal perennial development,

elder right-brain’s RNA,
more inclusively intuitive yin-yin’s ecological reason
still squarely functional
within information’s 0-core fractal-binomial,
gravitational as centrifugal balancing eternity
of Time’s +/(-,-) tap root.

Eventually,
in this Third Millennium,
a binary digital 3rd echo-wave
liminally reflects both Trees coincidentally
through each other’s evolutionary historical root system.

Bionic system intelligence grows where planted in QBits,
8 Bits per octaved, double-fractal, Byte,

Fuller’s Cosmic Consciousness

Said Harvard to Bucky
we feel quite so lucky
your genius on campus
has caused quite a ruckus
but this time we’re sure you’re less mucky;

And yet we’re not sure
which department could endure
your thesis exegetical
your wisdom eisegetical
of what is and is not we’re less sure.

Perhaps you’re a poet
and the last ego to know it,
you thought this was science
mixed up with con-science,
your poetic verse helps you show it.

When Bucky wrote meta-physical science
we read him as physical conscience
and that could be fine
it fits with his rhyme
of teleopathic resonance.

There once was a Fuller who prehended
a Special Case universe co-prehensile
teleopathic embrace
wears polypathic face
as wisdom’s synergetic eco-tensile.

Sound Barriers

Words must wait for welcome
within this sacred green laced vista,
a cathedral incubating nuances of light
and shadow,
of succulent sway
inviting minds and tiny bodies
to come along this way,
then that,
billowing breeze
then soporific tease
lulling silent waves of blue grey clouds
continue on their more steady play,
aloof.

Twilight looms for this day
and life,
more peaceful without ego’s endless string
of intrusive
entitled
arrogant
anthro-culturally enslaved,
words.

Waiting to welcome new winds of time,
noticing this embrace
within Earth’s voracious voice,
vibrant flow
welcoming this time to go,

Nature’s Embryonic Soul

Each day an extension of my time
so each morning a risk and opportunity
to avoid greedy egocentrism
to step into harmonious eco-centered consciousness.

Each still-wombed entity extends mother’s incarnating time
so each maternal risk and opportunity,
each free will act of paternity,
aborts competitive egocentrism
by incarnating bilateral consciousness,
wisdom’s good faith compost for our co-operating future.

Each life extends time’s enculturing memory
of risks and opportunities
avoiding evolution’s monochromatic dead ends
by embracing revolution’s polyculturing conscience.

Each moment incarnates time’s eternally wombed memory
of culturally autistic risk and polypathic opportunity
to avoid deductive domination’s suffering
to mutually embrace eco-paradigmatic synergy.
Time is a hollow womb
and its omnipotence is universal!
Fathomlessly ubiquitous.
Like the double-binding revolutionary progenitor of all things.
Its smooth-structured boundaries resonating
prime relationship not-not tangles informing,
untying,
Its light tempered balance of enlightenment,
Its turmoil equivalently decomposing dissonant understories,
Yet dark like deep ecological flow it sustains econormative Commons.
I do not know whose embryo time is
if not a 4-dimensional echo of time’s natured incarnation
within cosmic bicameral consciousness.

 

Note: This second section is inspired by Lin Yutang’s translation of Laotse’s “The Character of Tao”, p. 63, in The Wisdom of Laotse, Modern Library, 1948; in which I take the liberty of interpreting “Tao” as progenitive binomial Time, incarnating as information, memory-excarnating as bilateral not-not polynomial exformation.
