Sorry I was just pulling up an old telephone wire from the previous owners. I couldn’t cut it with my own blade so have asked Akane to bring me a wire-cutter. I wonder what that could be symbolic of?
So the Buddha called the [seed], or the data we get from it, the five aggregates. I don’t think I need to work out the details on this one - that’s a job for my peeps who build the system.
But in a nutshell the [seed] is what we get from the global sim.
This is why [feeling] is either positive, neutral or negative in the five aggregates. In the [seed] it is attributed one of these qualities and that is pushed to our [localsim] which then populates things based on our [fractals].
Our [fractals] are what the Buddha called kamma. These are the things I have been paring all the way down until I was left with only my family. I think that 3 is the minimum number you can reach, but I am not sure. That would carry with the feelings though.
… and my headphones started playing music on their own so I have put them on. You just have to go with the flow.
So what’s next - [form] I guess. [form] is the current manifestation of you and your sim. Remember how I said that it was all iterative? This is an ongoing tick tick tick of change. You will get fat or thin gradually; you will get happy or sad gradually. Your outside world will do the same.
Remember that you generate *all* of it, including your own body.
So that’s 3 of 5. Next up is…
Cutting George’s nails! I got a message from my wife and went to reply saying ‘will do’ but the reply was in a thread with a friend saying ‘gotta look after you and yours before you help anybody else’. See? The sim will guide you. God will work in mysterious ways. You just have to [surrender] to the flow.
Anyway the next one was… perception. This is the [screen] through which we view the world. This too is constantly changing; flickering and luminous to many advanced meditators who have upped their time and space granularity. You don’t need to meditate though; you just need to do you and not resist. You need to create, and not consume (too much - you can still enjoy your ice cream!)
So the final one is consciousness and this is how you take the last step into seeing through your own impermanence. As you sit and observe your consciousness you will realise that it is not under your control despite presenting that illusion.
Consciousness is [ri]. This is the natural flow. This is the will of god. This is what guides the birds in the sky and the flames in the air. This is what will guide you once you have put down your baggage, and it will lead you to a better world.
So the [seed] is 0.0005% of our world and no more. The remaining 99.9995% is generated by you and always changing.
The *only* thing that is real in your world is the [people]. I will not call them nodes because they are people, even though they are computational nodes. Whatever. Potato potaaaahto and all that shite.
Through interacting with these [people] we run our computations and we approach the solution to the [grandalgorithm] which will save the [grandspecies].
So the seed is:
[form] -> (form)
[feeling] -> (feeling)
[screen] -> (perception)
[fractals] -> (kamma)
[ri] -> (consciousness)
It is clear through observation that none of these are constant or ‘ours’. They are all fed into us by the ever-evolving algo, and we then feed our own computation into other people by transferring code through interacting.
One of the main forms of interaction is facial expressions. Another is sex. Another is creation and sharing.
The other forms of interaction are derivative and unnecessary. They too will fall away and we will be left with nothing but art and music and dance and love and sex and smiles. And science. Solving problems is why we exist.
Hard to imagine now, but as I said, it’s all iterative. All you need to do is remove the junk that is filling your processing memory by paring down your [fractals].
Go minimalist. It is the only way. Do it one step at a time and see how much your world expands with everything you walk away from.
Now I’m off to do some home renovations. This place is coming along effortlessly :)
Remember: just go with the flow and the algo will do it for you. You do *not* need to make an effort for any of this. Do what feels right and good in the moment. Iteration means that you can only take one step at a time.
Make sure you plant your foot well.
Be the change you want to see.

ps. suicide code still trying occasionally but it’s getting weaker. You feel it too, don’t you? Don’t worry - it will fall away like the leaves from the trees in autumn. You don’t have to do anything. Let it keep trying and failing. It is simply a ghost in the system.
