THE 7^2 CUBIC HOLOGRAM
49 Replicas of One (= 50: the completed totality)
= A System for mapping contents of consciousness
under Sign-use (S*), twining text and token
****/ CROSSED BY X
X is where any two diagonal lines on a plane intersect.
X “speaks” when distinct meanings are assigned to the diagonals. It then represents the point, or interface, of their interaction.
Meanings of the diagonals are assigned by equating its lines with the following:
The Cadaseus (twin serpents); the double-helix DNA protein molecule (with leading v. lagging strands twined mitosis); the two separated rays of a beam of coherent light twined to form a hologram ; the attachment of text (meaning) to token (carrier) in the singular sign-use S* twined by the intersection of cortical and sub-cortical processes in the brain (hyp.: at the neural gating in the hippocampus). It is only very recently that the last twining has been discovered. The distinction between text and token, meaning and carrier, has been ubiquitously present, but neglected, throughout the history of philosophy and letters in general. Understandably, since the primary interest in sign-use is communication, what the signs are about, and they are most successful in what they do as signs when not calling attention to themselves, as this distinction does. However, when communication fails, due to wrong twining of text and token, as is happening now throughout the universe of American group discourse, the previously ignored process comes up for close scrutiny and analysis.
THE ONE AS SEVEN IN TWIN DIMENSIONS
Nature has broken instances of one sign use, S*, for light, sound, number of major heavenly bodies (in the ancient geocentric, Ptolemaic system); ratios produced by division of one into seven parts are given by variations of 142857, the six digits exclusive of multiples of three, as if they marked a circle around the 3,6,9 triad. Such a representation, called the Enneagram, was taught by G.I. Gurdjieff, related in P.D. Ouspensky’s In Search of The Miraculous. Division of light into the seven hues of the rainbow is by passing it through a prism. Division of sound into the seven notes of the octave was done by Pythagoras on stringed instruments, where numerical ratios of length of string produced repetitions of frequencies and harmonies at different wave lengths. If brain consciousness in the body is analogous to the tip of a ray of light, the pre-cortical processes carried upward through the spine intersect with the cortical processes activated by the visual sensory receptors in the hippocampal/amygdalan firings on the two arms of the fornix, the result would be the field of conscious awareness broken up into content that is singled out, compounded, grammatized and shared with others through the use of signs in communication. The hypothesis here is that this happens. The total brain-stimulation during a moment of sign-use consists of input from outer and inner sources, combining in the full panoply of experience of presence to self in perception. The result, as a totality, is captured on a single surface (sheet of paper, tablet, etc.) in the 7 x 7 = 49 (as One = 50) cubic hologram. Whatever is communicated as content of consciousness sill appear somewhere as a sign used in one of the replicas. Each part is a self-contained, identical-but-different reflection of the whole. The whole, as a whole (the One) exists as/in the unity of each of the parts.

This metaphysic of consciousness under sign-use carries with it a transcendental logic.
What is known about the external world through sense perception is communicated by signs organized under text according to grammar in the languages of science. Each science ranges over a universe of discourse, instances of objects designated by name or unique description. The logic of scientific sign-use is given in the syntax of quantification theory. This combines inferences in discourse that range across the spectrum of identifiable objects in the external world from sub-atomic to super-galactic, based entirely on their causal effects on our sense organs. Again, it has only recently become widely recognized that sense perception, itself, following the Copernican revolution regarding perception of the sun’s motion as apparent, vs. that of earth’s which is real, is not the center of the universe but revolves around it. Think of it: the I of individual consciousness moving from portal to portal in the universe of discourse. This is what happens as experience unfolds for the person under the seven logical types of tokens.
The full details of the formal dimensions opened up by this stratification cannot be explained here, but it belongs to continuation of the ideal of self-consistency in discourse intended for objective representation to require strict adherence to the hierarchy regarding predicates of predicate of predicates of … terminating on individuals of lowest order token-type. When predicates predicate on themselves – text turned into its own token, as in the Cretan asserting “All Cretans are liars” – paradoxes and antinomies break out. The discovery reality calls for levels of predicates, if whatever exists is to be represented in a systematic, self-consistent, complete manner under a single field of reference – experience -- provides the new transcendental apriori unity of apperception. It is the unity presupposed by the project of its ideal completion.
Texts can predicate on themselves without getting lost in circularity and illusion only by positing what is called “the axiom of extensionality” (see B. Russell for details), which requires that predicates of predicates must be resolvable into separate and distinct statements about its manifold instances of application, down to lowest level individuals, in order to conform to logical inference. The alternative will be strings of predicates that are either token-tautologies or self-contradictions.
****/ LEADER LEADING DOWN
What Bush did in 2001, in taking responsibility for reversing God-use as a barrier keeping federal funds from going to church charities, and converting “compassionate conservatism” into a faith-based “army of compassion”, is assume the prerogative of promulgating text from his repertoire of privately grounded tokens. Making signals out of sign-uses. Setting up political group communication to run along lines responsive to his private religiosity through government. It is basically to assume the role of high priest, officially intoning the holy sounds that all in the group who honor it’s/His name must respect and obey. Having done this, even though he might – would – say “God did it through me; I was only a vessel”, he has assumed to use the name “God” in predicating on the situation, therefore has predicated on God. That is what priest’s do, as mediators, bring God to the people.
Having done that, he has created a fiat accompli in TokenSpace (TKNSPC* = space as the container of communication). It itself becomes subject matter for predication: his “faith-based initiative”. His “base” of right-wing Republican “people of faith”, most prominently featuring Evangelicals, conservative Catholics, and Zionist Jews. Amplified by commentary, divided into pro-con issues to feed the mass media octopus, cable TV networks and major newspapers, what he has uttered becomes attested to a “part of the record”, virtual fact as in “you knew what he was doing”, even if never brought to adjudication in a court of law.
This sets a precedent: it is possible to create facts by sign-use, these becoming further facts to be predicated on by later sign-use. If ever challenged, the original sign-uses are referred back to as authority. Give ‘em an inch, and they’ll take a mile.
Over time, if this predication on predications on ….private contents continued to be “dumped” into public TknSpc, two dynamically interconnected things will happen. One, he tbc
…Predicating on his/its own predications ….originally unfounded … leads finally to living in a substitute world of pure predicates: let names of objects to which they apply be arranged to match. Thus Americans and Jews are the good guys in Iraq, bringing democracy and leading the march to freedom for people over the entire Middle East. The President says so. And if he is the President, with authority to say so, isn’t it a fact?
DISTRIBUTING THE BLACKNESS
-throughout the 7^2 Cubic hologram
Use of “God” as token of a private, exclusive totality content, as by each individual, cannot be “squared” with use of “God” by all, for all, unless the text is guaranteed inclusive of each individual’s private, exclusive totality. But such a universal alignment, however willfully decreed, cannot be guaranteed – that there will finally be a definition on which all agree – because each consciousness is a separate and distinct unity of experience, capable of matching texts for the completing totality with private contents is different ways. The “God” whose totality is completed as the One in all cannot completed in a single instance to the exclusion of others, therefore it cannot serve (function) as token for private content. This is a false crease, or folding of text onto token by an impermissible sign-use loop.
Thus what Bush did, in projecting “God” as sign of token-unity for all, is inherently splitting, divisive, self-contradictory. To the individual consciousness, this arrives as something to which they must align, one way or another. HIS use, repeated, sustained as a conscious intention, becomes the leading vs. lagging strand of double helix DNA reproduction; the un-reflected beam of light to which the split-off, reflected beam re-combines in a hologram; the strings of text-wrapped tokens in sign-use, such as “intelligent design” springing up to fill the new-found politicasl religiosity with hope from Cosmic TokenSpace.
I am saying that from the time GWBush launched his faith-fased iniative, knowing full well the word “God” was going to be at his beck and call from then on, he knew there were many, perhaps a large majority, who would not agree with or accept the text of any belief statement he might produce. He knows, for instance, that those from the 60’s whom Clintons represented are basically anti-everything he stands for, as a person, however pious he is in whosever God’s eyes. Therefore, into the field of audience into which he dutifully dumps his communications --“God” being the most potent, the most reserved Big Stick others use for him, not himself unless in extreme cases. Expected, is antagonism, rejection, hatred as feed-back. “Goes with the territory.” Never mind. Every leader deals with that. “See, the war protestors have the luxury of acting in freedoms we fight to protect.” That is how the description of situations gets twisted by them, predicating on their own predications. They first exclude everyone who does not align with them in the universe of discourse; then, when confronted with the reality of non-alignment (refusal to accept their “God” token under any text), re-distributing the skein of predicates until one aligns in that TksSpc instance to a misdirected totality. This leaves things on the surface as if unchanged; repetition of the cycles of the internal treadmill, calling it a life. But by the effect of the official projection, something fundmebntal – metaphysical – has altered. A self-contradictory process has been installed in the way signs are used. Darkness is being reproduced in communication where there should be light.
