Sid Thomas S*-ing to Power

S*-ing to Power **** S is for Sign, * is for Use. S*, as in S*-ing, is for SLINGING THE SHLONG AGAINST PHILOSOPHICAL AND OTHER ABUSE (Let S* be verse, picture, symbology, rant, whatever talks eternal, American, now) The world is ready and waiting for what we can do here. As John Calvin put it, differently, "It's up to you."

The Unfolding Disaster

This applies Quadrant analysis to the cross-section of major current events in TokenSpace, with link references here.

One connecting vignette shows how the situation is and where it is moving. CNN 'political analyst' Bill Shneider, commenting on what the unfavorable polls on Bush portend, gushes forth with "but the Republicans are pulling together behind their president." That's optimiz-talk for the fact that fewer of them than Democrats disapproved of way Bush is handling his job. They are "coming together"; Dems are"pulling apart"

This is the Wizard of Oz, the man behind the curtain, putting the final touches on the Quadrant II set-up. This is the addressed audience, past participle "-ed" sector of Tokenspace. It is the defacto container of what is occurring throughout the realm addressed in.by individual sign-use> it is partly projective,since it is only through a kind of dull imagination that such a thing as "the collective content of group-consciousness" can even occur as a 'notion" (Hegel). But it is also objective, in the sense of independently constituted, as a set of relationships. To all intents and purposes, it is as fixed as the fixed stars. No single voice can pierce it. It is a process ("group-process": the totality of individual members of a group's relation to it, and to each other, through it* (*signs of identification, e.g., use of "God")) that posits its own morphological resonance, in Sheldrake's terms.

The process taking place whenever communication is going on begins in the segment of the anatomy that supplies stimuli directly to thr brain, marked Quadrant I (QI) Nerves carrying ultra minute electronic impulses that reach the brain fall on one of two termini: organs of external percetion (eye, ear, nose, throat, skin), or organs of internal 'proprioception' (bladder, penis, liver, stomach, chest). These fall into Qualitative, vrs quasi-qualitative (including 'unhappy consciousness' - Hegel, from uncomfortable "-ing" feedback). The first phase or moment of sign-use processing is the sweeping of the results of two kinds of neurone discharges into the area where they can be mixed. This would be (hypothesis; see Wilson) the arms of the fornix, situated where higher-cortical functions, with hippocampal memory, crests over spinal-cranial input, resonant to amygdalan memory.

In the counter-clockwise Alpha loop (QI-QII-QIII-QIV), the processes of individual consciousness in QIII cannot occur except by receiving data from QII -- what we process as individuals has always been first processed by the group, and that is retained in the sub-recall mem-system of QII-QIII.

The Beta loop (QII-QI-QIV-QIII), also running counter-clockwise but in opposite direction, passes through a lower-level "mem loop" in the QI-QIV segment. This overlays the feed-back from QIV, as the anxiety over "-ing" -ing, when the person knows what they are doing is not "square with the world" is taken up into organ-tension and swept into quasi-qualitative content.

What is gained by unfolding communication as an event on the Four Quadrant Tablet is a way of exhibiting connections of autonomous, real domains unlinked except through the communication process. An acausal connecting principle between people; a trans-dimensional (transcendental) pre-logical connecting principle of all sign-uses on the token side -- all S* threads tangent from the nested hierarchy of 7 token types of content. (QIII - content of consciousness under sign-use)



We seek contact with what will address and complete us "from the other side" whenever we address an audience to communicate. (Freud called dreams "communication not meant for anyone.") The tesseract is posited as "someone or something coming from the other side to meet us". This was realized as an objective state of consciousness in pre-historical Egypt, according to G.

Note: The two bold-face statements connect to show that the memory loop on the Alpha-loop sequence can serve to block consciousness in communication from access to its data from the Beta-loop memory.
This would explain why we "forget ourselves" in communication situations. We merge with some fantasy of completion coming to us "from the other side", where God nourishes the Soul. Forget life. And death. Bill Schneider brings news from this Quadrant, telling us what fellow Americans, and Republicans, can be found doing.
