More S*4
S*4 – ing the 68’ers
(See doc. S preceding)
S*4 is the token level of sign-use manifested in conscious act-ion/-ing. “Act-ion” is the act completed from the conscious side, from the inner intention. (“That is what I intended to do, however it turned out. No on can say otherwise because I, and only I, know what was in my mind at the time.”) “Act-ing” is (the) action in the process of being carried out (‘executed’). “Action” is what the person can get his/her mind around, through the intention (maxim; text) they are aware of, as shown by the fact that they can recall it later. (“Why did you …? What were you thinking?” …) The distinction between ‘inner’ and ‘outer’ goes with ‘what is self-contained in consciousness under sign-use’ vrs. ‘what is not self-contained in consciousness under sign-use’, as illustrated by pleading “I intended to do ..A (help the lady across the street); the result …B (she gets hit by an car”) was fortuitous (or act of God; doesn’t matter; wasn’t me). Whatever determines the body’s function from below that would interfere with carrying out an intention falls outside the responsibility to formulate and act on morally suitable ones. Thus, there is the sleepwalker’s defense: “I dreamed I got up in the night and stabbed her.” Also the “altered state” defense: “I watched myself do it, like in a dream.” (Actual case of a basically caring Native American man who got up in the night and bludgeoned his family to death after kissing and tucking them all in.)
The micro-millisecond process of passing from –ion to –ing is defines the moral dimension or universe of discourse. It is a distinct moment of conscious experience. In it, first; reality, subsumed under (all) possible action is laid out, as an addressed totality. This can be represented by a line drawn from the site of S*4 horizontally, to the right, as if continuing alonging it from the past, on expanding from the left, to the future. horizontal line. Secondly, the passage from message texted to action tokened takes place along a route of functionally distinct successively actuated anatomical (neuro-psychological) systems. These, of course, are intrinsically incomplete as contents of S* (not wholly contained in consciousness) because they are ex hypothesi the causal process determining certain factors of consciousness: its state, content (both peripheral and intra-organic brain stimuli qualities), and energy (cathexis – discharge – emptying -- of interest, desire, vivacity into content by neurone discharge). The boundary-line between contents under sign-use that are wholly contained in consciousness (cf. paradigm: geometry: Pythagorean theorem) and contents not wholly contained in consciousness (paradigm: the ‘anatomical preparation’ as Freud called it, i.e., the human body experienced as such by the person whose body it is, and who are aware of themselves using signs) is between S*4 and S*3. Reality (the world, universe of discourse) laid out under S*3 is coordinate with everything ordered under S*4¸if it is a moral predicate true to the situation, taken in relation to the person’s own body located in the lines fore-aft, left-right, up-down which can be expanded indefinitely by mathematical imagination in space, and/or at the same time diminished in said space to a point of exact intersection. Taken in either or both extensions, S*3 reality includes all space as what is hypothetically swiped out of the universe as a whole by a three-dimensional + cyclic vortex spin movement of the body.
Consciousness Under S* is completion of the three-dimensional body in time (by time, through time: time is the tablet of tokenspace)
Movement in any of the three dimensions (along any of the three extended lines), assumed as a totality, has three essential points: beginning, middle, end. Given simultaneously, these may be taken to mark the circle containing them. Given successively, they become a mark of time considered, first of all, as a quantity of duration. Thus, the event experienced as the duration between the second hand of a clock marking 0 and 30, as a totality contained in causal, but not (presumably) continuous conscious awareness, can be compared with the fractional movement of the minute hand from 1 to 2, the larger fractional movement of the hour hands; dates of day, months, years; these supply the concept of ‘something’ conceived as permeating every three-dimensional point of intersection, and experienced inwardly through the human body by distribution of its neuronal excitation throughout the boundaries of its extended lines.
The inner life is the scene of reality of all duration. They are experienced and communicated as such only through the continuity supplied by textual consciousness (“there-then; here-how”). Without the metaphysical bridge supplied by sign-use, time would be present to the human body only in the manner that completes three-dimensinal objects, not in the manner that completes such a object complet-ing itself in the duration.
A brain that houses consciousness is the necessary completing totality of whatever occurs in the causal, non-(pre- or post-) human external world capable of being brought into a unity given by/to the human mind
UPPER AND LOWER TRIADS of contents of consciousness
This is a division in pure tokenspace, containing all contents of consciousness under sigh-use, into two segments, each a triad of sign-uses: S*7-*6-*5 (upper) and S*1-*2-*3 (lower). (S*4 is the point at which they intersect, taken as ordered sequences. In this way, by showing reverse direction Space, in tokenspace, defeats time!)
(S*7-*6-*5) is the triad of contents wholly contained in consciousness under text. Paradigm: Words used grammatically in sentences. As a kind of entity, this is a capacity entirely unique to humans, as far as we know. Not that non-humans (Dolphins, for instance) do not communicate in amazing ways by sensitivity to internal and external stimuli beyond human comprehension; they do not reason by use of number, logic, history of civilization. Our scientific understanding of the world requires these, and these require a grammar. Grammar supplies the map of the cosmic totality given under sign-uses. Under sign-use, IT is ‘warped’ by space – posited as completed in each simultaneity; woofed by time, passing through the anatomical processes in minds of human person.
(S*1-*2-*3) is the triad of contents not wholly contained in consciousness under sign-use.
S*3 (“objects in physical space”) predicates on objects in three dimensional space. These are either direct causes of the presentation of a set of qualities of sense perception (seeing, touching, smelling,. licking, thumping a ball of wax) or indirect causes in manifestations of these. Clearly, these are not wholly contained as content in consciousness. They are given as totalities only under general nouns and causal contiguities. They transcend the present moment of and conscious awareness in space.
S*2 (“objects in phenomenal space”) predicates on content of consciousness as phenomenal, in Kant’s sense. At the moment they are experienced, qualities of sense do not entail the existence of objects a person might assume they are perceiving through them, because the experience – say, of a colored light – might have originated by intra- vs. extra-neural stimulation. (cf. Sheldrake, brain-stimulation of light images.) The causal theory of perception in general entails the non-inferrability of the qualitative manifestation of a pure micro-electronic magnitudes. Consciousness must be brought in as the name of the field of all relations established through sign-uses, connecting the awareness of qualities of all kinds, as such, with or without corresponding physical objects as causes. However, even though the phenomenal level of content is defined as such over against the physical level – sandwiched between the real world our body inhabits and the sur-real world inhabited by dreams – what it predicates on is not wholly-contained; what is wholly contained is an “instance.” Thus: the color blue can never be thought of as wholly exhausted by a given instance or instances, even though all that “it” is IN any instance is exhausted in each. Instances of the qualities of sound, vision (besides color, light variations, lines, motions), odors, touches, tastes all relate to eacxh other through consciousness and only through consciousness. Aristotle’s notion of “common sense” is defined in these terms. Also present at the phenomenal level, mingled with qualities as their existential atmosphere, so to speak, are the quasi-qualities of mood, feelings, impulses – connected to the blood situation. These may be assumed to make their way to articulate consciousness (S*5) along neural routes that terminate inside the body, especially on functionally sensitive organs. These transcend the moment of conscious awareness in time.
Thus one sees that S*2, second of the seven categorical fields of totality of content is itself spread across content of various sorts, depending on how they arrive as content. At one end of the spectrum are two-dimensional reductions of three-dimensional depth perception to the interpretation of geometrical clues. This discloses the phenomenality of even ordinary perception directly concerned with objects. The ancients allowed for the skewing of perceptual qualities by external circumstances such as light refraction, as in the appearance of the bent stick in water. Mirages have long been perceived as curious overlays of desert reality by phenomenal-visual two-dimensional sheen, present in the eye because of the way it relates to light in seeing, not requiring hallucinations of one dying of thirst to perceive. Again, the fact that one will unhesitatingly respond “round”, to “what is the shape of a penny”?, even though as C.D. Broad pointed out, rarely, if ever, do pennies strike the eye of any actual perceiver except as ellipses. The “roundness” predicated of physical objects is a construct of a spatial 3-dimensional container of myriads of actual quality content. And there are other juxtapositions that flout – at the time illustrating – the boundary between S*3 and S*2.
S*1 (“objects in anatomical neuro-psychological space”) predicates on the totality of arousal (cathexis/anti-cathexis, motility, amygdalal/h memory-loops, cortical wave patterns, pulsations) passing over from latency into the pre-conscious psychic ‘room’ of dream-space. This level of sign-use includes content acquired by the in-womb give-and-take between fetus, mother and placenta (which become functionally distinguished during and after the birth process itself) and whatever has been elaborated by trauma. Under this would be included the levels of all sign-uses impinging on consciousness, as a hierarchy within it corresponding to the hierarchy of developmental steps. In ordinary situations, this stratum is easily overlooked and ignored. It does its work mechanically, as we are not required to do anything to reproduce the dream-life, it is done for us through the body each night. However, it is the functional basis of the entire hierarchy. And, even allowing for a strong up-draft of properly-flowing higher functional levels to keep the cathexes clear, as it were, through the upper channels of complexity, a back-up effect from higher level dysfunctionality clogs the works ‘down below’, so there is a disturbance at the point where tokens – from templates of the pre-born/trauma/dream-world – go over into text. This disturbance works its way out from the interior to boundary/peripheral patterns of (voluntary and involuntary) behavior, like a profound yick/yack of uncertain, but absolute reality-valencies, one part of the apparatus following the text (perceived in the template leading to cortical functions), the other following (or remaining with) the token (since all tokens originate at this level). This will be explained as the narrative unfolds.
Sickness from Sinfulness. Confirmed by Bush.
...Speaking of which, metaphorically – it is the failure of proper ‘folding’ of lengthy, complex mega-protein molecules into usable DNA that leads to the ultra-deadly, indefensibly aggressive prion mutation. Thus, assuming a single system of sign-use, the improper ‘folding’ of signs into sentences as the upper levels of the hierarchy (upper triad) would, upon collapse of the hierarchy, ‘pancake’ the effect downward, that is to say, inward; so that, at the end, processes at the bottom-most, bio-chemical level refuse to replicate what is going on above.
According to this, the act of subordinating use of “God” (S*7) for political (S*6: we) ends to wage war on Iraq, is the sin. “As Above” (dysfunctional reversal in the upper triad) co-ordinates with the “So Below” of protein-to-prion dysfunctionality. By way of the mentality of those who have committed the sin and brought the affliction. The prion infestation is irreversible, once contracted.
The suggested proposition, then, is that failure of functionality at the upper level – manifest in uroboric self-feeding; “God” as spiritual capital cashed in as Mars retrograde in Taurus, October-November ‘05… is the upper triad configuration….of which the lower triad is the breakdown of sexual vitality into incestuous cannibalism.
Strung out between the upper and lower triad, as it were, is the threatened pandemic of Avian/Asian flue. In common with the lower level, it represents dysfunctionality at the cellular – viral- level. A new deadly strain, H5 N1 has been christened. This is a ‘displacement upward’ of the deeper molecular DNA dysfunction. But it shows what it is like for the same dynamic to occur on different levels. To go with announcement of sudden startling discovery of the outbreak of a deadly new viral disease on the face of earth there is the psychic condition tagged by the intuitive astrologer Eric Francis as “climate of world fear.” Not just human, but nature’s hierarchies seem profoundly disturbed. By psychosomatic conversion, fear goes over into flu. A mechanism can be traced between the bio-neural (S*3 content) from S*1 arousal to the breakdown in conditions of S*1 arousal, itself, though tracing it leads beyond the scope of the present argument.
To conclude these remarks: I offer the fact that G. W. Bush turned to address the alleged Avian flu pandemic during the middle of a most harried week of his presidency, in late October. Pledging billions of dollars and use of U.S. military to fight the plague. (Say what?) The same two end of the pole connected here “As Above, So Below” through upper and lower triads of sign uses are also functionally connected by the Public Relations apparatus. Bush is required to defend against the same ‘enemy’ in both, attacking him and his kind on different levels.
