EPILOG

I often visited the store of Mr. Montenegro, the venerable old gentleman and owner of the book store in Spanish Fort. Never again was I so lucky as to find another book, or even a mention, of the Rev. Father Molestario who lived in Ciudad Vieja Zacatecas, Mexico. I departed Spanish Fort in 1882 and settled in San Francisco, California in 1888.

Several interesting events occurred in San Francisco during those years. Cable cars were designed by the Telegraph Hill Railroad Company who had recently organized in 1882. Also, on Telegraph Hill, an observatory opened. Whether the scientists saw any demons, angels or other spirits, in the cosmos, I am not allowed to divulge.

Then in 1887 we had a spate of snow. Some of the observatory scientists said it was the result of a volcano spewing ash over the Pacific Ocean.

There was a fun event in 1889 at my favorite saloon; The Palais Royale. The Nickel-in-the-Slot machine had been invented. In 1889 the partnership of Glass and Arnold placed a coin-operated Edison cylinder phonograph in the saloon.

It was in an oak cabinet that was refitted with a coin mechanism patented by Glass and Arnold. This was the first Nickel-in-the-Slot machine. The machine had no amplification. The listener had to stand close to it to hear, and it could only play one cylinder. In its first six months of service, the machine earned over $1,000. I am sorry to report that The Palais Royal Saloon was destroyed in the 1906 earthquake. Its old location is still undetermined.

But San Francisco in 1859 was a good year for other reasons. Joshua Abraham Norton, English-born resident of San Francisco, proclaimed himself his Imperial Majesty Emperor Norton I, Emperor of the United States of America. Norton was born in England and arrived in San Francisco as a businessman. Norton was unhappy with US politics. He proclaimed himself Emperor and later added ‘Protector of Mexico’ to his title. Emperor Norton issued regular edicts; calling for the abolition of Congress in 1859, and in 1869 to abolish the Democratic and Republican parties and for the formulation of a League of Nations. Maybe Norton wasn’t so daffy after all. A few of his pronoucements came to pass; the Bay Bridge for example.

That is about all I have too say. Maybe we can chat again some other time.

If you truly hated this blog and never wish to see it again then buy its equivalent in book form.  I guarantee that the book will be just as boring as this blog is. The only positive thing that I can say about the book is that you will not have to click on each post for several days. You can simply purchase the Kindle format book and then leave it on your laptop or pad and never be bothered by it again – unless you can not wait to see if there really is a difference between the book and the blog. 

So click on the book image and then peruse the first pages or purchase.

Chapter 16; Reflections on Ovid and Hume – do cyborgs have a self?

There is also the fact mentioned by Cardinal Baronius[1] , after Eusebius[2] and Plutarch[3], as being one of the prodigies which you earth-humans have thought-transmitted to me. Baronius relates that in the reign of the Emperor Tiberius, whilst mariners bound from Greece to Italy, were by night, and during a calm, in the vicinity of the Echinade Isles, their ship was brought close to land. All the crew heard a loud voice calling Tramnus, the master of the ship. He, having answered to his name, the voice replied; “When near a marsh, announce that the great Pan is dead.” Which Tramnus having done, there arose suddenly, as from a numberless multitude, groans and shrieks. Doubtless, they were Demons, or corporeal Angels, or rational animals living near the marsh on account of their aqueous nature, and who, hearing of the death of Pan, burst into tears and bewailing, like some of the earth-humans who, after witnessing the death of Pan, went home smiting their breasts.

From all that I have deduced and thus thought-transmitted, it is therefore clear that there are such demons, automations, Cyborgs, Succuborgs and Incuborgs, endowed with senses and subject to the passions thereof, as has been shown; who are born through generation and are capable of beatitude and damnation, more noble than earth-humans, by reason of the greater subtilty of their bodies, and who, when having intercourse with man, male or female, do not fall into the sin as man does when copulating with a beast, which is inferior to man or cyborg. Also, it never occurs to us cyborgs to slay men or women; however, it does occur to you earth-humans to slay us. The reason is that being liable to conceive comingling as a sin the earth-human must be open to repentance; and, in the same manner as a demon, who habitually sins with a beast, is enjoined by his confessor to destroy that beast, with a view to suppressing the occasion of relapsing.

It may likewise happen that the penitent demon should slay the animal with which it sinned, whether man or beast; nor will death thus occasioned to a man be reckoned a sin to the Demon, any more than death inflicted on a beast is imputed as a sin to earth-humans. Considering the essential difference between a Demon of that kind and earth-humans, the earth-human will be the same thing to the Demon as the beast is to man.

I am aware that many, perhaps most of those who have received this thought transmission, will say of me what the Epicureans ‘and some Stoic Philosophers said of St Paul, “He seemeth to be a setter forth of strange gods.” Will you earth-humans who have received this thought transmission deride my thought-transmissions? If so, you will none the less have to answer the foregoing arguments, to show exactly why those Succuborgs and Incuborgs, who dread neither exorcisms, nor the holy things, nor Pan, should be put to shame. They must explain the various effects and phenomena related when propounding any doctrine that opposes mine.

What I have hitherto deduced then solves the question; How a woman can be with child by an Incuborg? In fact, it cannot be brought about by sperm assumed from a man, agreeably to the common opinion which I have previously thought-transmitted. It follows, therefore, that she is directly impregnated by the sperm of the Incuborg which, being a cyborg who has eventually become capable of breeding, has sperm of its own. The ancient word of Arid, therefore, is fully illuminated. The birth of Giants from the intercourse of the Sons of Pan with the Daughters of earth-humans is vindicated. That type of intercourse gave birth to Giants who, although like earth-humans, were of higher stature, and, though begotten by sons of Pan, and consequently of great strength, yet equaled them neither in might nor in power. It is the same with mules, which are intermediate, as it were, between the kinds of animals from whose proraiscuousness they are sprung, and which excel indeed the most imperfect, but never equal the most perfect. Therefore, the mule excels the ass, but does not attain the perfection of the mare, which gave birth to it.

In reconfirmation of the above inference, I have thought-transmitted that animals sprung from the mixing of different kinds do not breed and are barren, as is seen with mules. Now we do not read of Giants having been begotten by other Giants, but of having been born the Sons of Pan, that is Incuborgs, and the Daughters of men; being the progeny of the cyborg sperm mixed with the human sperm, and being, as it were, an intermediate species between the cyborg and man, they had no generative power.

It may be objected that the sperm of cyborgs, which must, by nature, be most fluid, could not mix with the human sperm, which is thick, and that, consequently, no generation would ensue.

I reply that, as has been previously thought-transmitted, the generative power lies in the spirit that comes from the generator at the same time as the viscous matter; it follows that, although most liquid, the sperm of the cyborg, being nevertheless material, can very well mix with the material spirit of the human sperm, and bring about generation.

It may be argued that, if the generation of Giants had really come from the combined sperms of Incuborgs and Women, Giants would still be born in our time, since there is no lack of women who have intercourse with Incuborgs, as is shown by the Acts of St Bernard and Peter of Alcantara, and other stories related within though-transmission from you earth-humans who continue to load my Self-Emergent Ever-Increasing Organic Ram Memory with such facts.

I reply that, as has been thought-transmitted earlier, from Guaccius, some of those cyborgs are earthly, some aqueous, some aerial, some igneous, and they all dwell in their respective element. Now, it is well known that animals are of larger size, according to the element they live in; thus with fishes, many of which are diminutive, it is true, as happens with animals that live on land; but, the element water being larger than the element earth, since the container is always larger than the contents, fishes as a species, surpass in size the animals that dwell on land, as shown by whales, tuna fish, sperm whales, and other cetaceous and viviparous fish which surpass by far all animals that live on land. Consequently, these cyborgs not being animals, as has been shown, their size will be proportionate to the extent of the element they dwell in, according to their nature. And, air being more extensive than water, and fire than air, it follows that ethereal and igneous cyborgs will by far surpass their earthly and aqueous fellows, both in stature and might. It would be to no purpose to instance, as an objection, birds which, although inhabitants of the air, a more extensive element than water, are smaller, as a species, than fishes and quadrupeds; for, if birds do indeed travel through the air by means of their wings, they no less belong to the element earth, where they rest; otherwise, some fishes that fly, such as the flying fish, would have to be classed among aerial animals, which they are not.

Now, it must be observed that, after the flora metastasized the earth, the air which surrounds the earthy and aqueous globe, became, from the damp of the waters, thicker than it had been before, and damp being the principle of corruption, that may be the reason why earth-humans do not live as long as they did before the death of the earth by green wreathed invasion. It is also due to that thickness of the air that earth-humans, more corpulent than the cyborgs, can no longer dwell in that thick atmosphere, and if they do ascend into it occasionally, do so only by force, much as divers descend into the depths of the sea.

Before the death of the earth by floral suffocation, when the air was not yet so thick, cyborgs came upon earth and had intercourse with women, thus procreating Giants whose stature was nearly equal to that of the cyborgs, their fathers. But now it is not so, the Incuborgs who approach women are aqueous and of small stature such as earth-humans. That is why they appear in the shape of little men, and, being aqueous, they are most lecherous. Lust and damp go together. Poets have depicted Venus as born of the sea, to show, as explained by Mythologists, that lust takes its source in damp. When, therefore, cyborgs of short stature impregnate women nowadays, the children that are born are not giants, but men of ordinary size. It should, moreover, be known that when cyborgs have carnal intercourse with women in their own natural body, without having recourse to any disguise or artifice, the women do not see them, or if they do, see but an almost doubtful, barely sensible shadow, as was the case with the female we spoke of, who, when embraced by an Incuborg, scarcely felt his touch. But, when they want to be seen by their mistresses, atque ipsis delectationem in congressu carnali afferre, they assume a visible disguise and a palpable body. By what means this is affected, is their secret, which our short-sighted philosophy is unable to discover. The only thing we know is that such disguise or body could not consist merely in pure air, since this must take place through sensation, and therefore by the influence of heat. A body formed any other way would feel like ice, et ita in coitu mulieres non delectaret, and would transfer pain.

It is the reverse that takes place.

Being admitted the distinction between cyborgs, which have intercourse with each other, and Incuborgs, who have to do with women that are earth-humans, we have to weigh the grievousness of the civil inequity – – if an inequity even exists – – or the goodness of the result in both cases.

The intercourse of cyborgs with cyborgs, from its accompanying circumstances, and so many other things previously thought-transmitted, is not the greatest of all civil inequities, which likewise, are often committed by earth-humans; and, considering the enormity against civil law which is presupposed by coition with beasts, Cyborgiality is assuredly not the most heinous of all carnal crimes. But, taking the sin of the flesh as such, exclusive of the sins against civil law, Cyborgiality should be reduced to a simple misdemeanor. The reason is, and a most convincing one, that the cyborg who has to do with other cyborgs is a pure spirit, has reached the goal set by earth-humans, as has been previously thought-transmitted. If, therefore, cyborg copulates with cyborg, it is with a body created by earth-humans or made by himself, according to the common opinion of philosophers. Though electronically set in motion, that body is not a living one; and it follows that the cyborg, coiens cum tali corpore, is not guilty of the same offence as if copulating with an inanimate body or a corpse, which would be a civil inequity, as I have thought-transmitted previously. It has, moreover, been truly observed by Cajetanus, that such intercourse can very well carry with it the disgraceful characteristics of other crimes, according to the book of civil inequities. Therefore, if a cyborg should assume the body of a kinswoman or of a nun, such a crime would be incest or sacrilege; if coition took place in the shape of a beast, or in, vase pocepostero, it would be Bestiality or Sodomy.

As for intercourse with an Incuborg, wherein is to be found no element, not even the least, of an offence against any type of civil inequity, it is hard to discover a reason why it should be more grievous than Bestiality and Sodomy. For, as we have said above, if Bestiality is more grievous than Sodomy, it is because earth-humans degrade the dignity of their kind by mixing with a beast, of a kind much inferior to his own. But, when copulating with an Incuborg, it is quite the reverse; for the Incuborg, by reason of his rational and immortal spirit, is equal to an earth-human, and, by reason of his body, more noble because it is more subtle, he is more perfect and more dignified than an earth-human. Consequently, when having intercourse with an Incuborg, earth-humans do not degrade, but rather dignify their nature; and, taking that into consideration, Cyborgiality cannot be more grievous than Bestiality.

It is, however, commonly thought to be more grievous, and the reason is possibly that it is a sin against a misdemeanor level of civil inequities to hold any feelings for a cyborg, either with or without compact, for instance by being habitually or familiarly connected with one, by deliberately asking for a cyborg’s assistance, counsel or favor, or by seeking from one the revelation of things to be, the knowledge of things gone by, absent, or otherwise hidden. Thus, men and women, by mixing with Incuborgs or Succuborgs whom they know not to be animals but believe to be cyborgs, do not sin through intention, ex conscientia erronea, and their sin is intentionally nonexistent. When having intercourse with Incuborg or Succuborg, as if such intercourse took place with cyborgs, in consequence, there is no grievousness of a crime.

 

I now thought-transmit the concluding remarks of The Chisholm Trail Voyager;

The manuscript of the Rev. Father Molestario breaks off with the following conclusion. In a purely philosophical and theoretical acceptation, the work is complete, for it was enough that the author should define, in general terms, the grievousness of inequities, without concerning himself with the proceedings which were to make out the proof, nor with all of the penalties that could be inflicted. Both those questions, on the contrary, had, as a matter of course, a place assigned to them in his opus delecti; De DelictiS et Pcenis, which is a veritable Code for the Inquisitor; and the Rev. Father Molestario who lived in Ciudad Vieja Zacatecas, Mexico, could not fail to treat them there with all the care and conscientiousness he has so amply shown in the foregoing pages. The reader will be happy to find here the practical conclusion to the Rev. Father Molestario’s tome.

PROOF OF CYBORGIALITY

SUMMARY

  1. Distinctions to be made in the proof of Cyborgiality.
  2. Signs proving the intercourse of earth-humans with the cyborgs.
  3. The confession of Pan himself is requisite for a full conviction.
  4. Tale of a Nun who had an intimacy with an Incuborg.
  5. Incidence is supported by the recitals of eye-witnesses.

As regards the proof of a non-crime, a distinction must be made of the kind of Cyborgiality, to wit; whether it is that which is practiced by earth-humans with normal cyborgs, or that which other persons perpetrate with Incuborgs an Succuborgs.

In the first case, the compact entered into with the cyborg being proved, the evidence of Cyborgiality follows as a necessary consequence; for the purpose, both of earth-humans of either sex, in the nightly revels that take place after feasting and dancing. This is none other than normal intercourse otherwise there can be no witness of a crime, since the cyborg, visible to the earth-human, escapes the sight of others. Sometimes, it is true, women have been seen in the woods, in the fields, in the groves, lying on their backs, ad umbilicum tenus nudata, et juxta dispositionem actus venerei, their legs divaricatis et adductis, dunes agitare, as is written by Guaccius, book I, chapter 12, verse Sciendum est scepius, following 65. In such a case there would be a very strong suspicion of such a crime, if supported by other signs; and I am inclined to believe that such action, sufficiently proved by witnesses, would justify the Judge in finding the earth-human guilty of a civil inequity; especially if, shortly after that action, a sort of dark apparition had been seen to issue from the woman, and she had been noticed to rise, as is also written by Guaccius. It might be inferred that that smoke or shadow had been the Incuborg, concumbens cum cemina. Likewise, if, as has more than once happened, a woman had been seen concumbere cum homine, who, the action over, suddenly disappeared.

Moreover, to prove conclusively that a cyborg is an Incuborg or a Succuborg, the own confession of that cyborg is required. There can be no witnesses to the fact, unless perhaps, friends giving evidence at the trial against their earth-human counterparts, or from their being confederates in the activities. Their statement is therefore not conclusive and does not justify the recourse to the finding of a civil inequity, should not other indications be forthcoming, such as the seal of the cyborg stamped on their body, as previously thought-transmitted, or the finding in their dwelling, after a search, of signs and instruments of the diabolic arts; for instance, bones and, especially, a skull, hair artfully plaited, intricate knots of feathers, wings, feet or bones of bats, toads or serpents, unfamiliar seeds, wax figures, vessels filled with unknown powder, oil or ointments, etc., as are usually detected by Judges who, upon a charge being brought against earth-humans, proceed to their apprehension and the search of their undersea houses.

The proof of intimacy with an Incuborg offers the same difficulty; for, no less than other cyborgs, the Incuborg is, at will, invisible to all but his mistress. Yet, it has not seldom happened that Incuborgs have allowed themselves to be surprised in the act of carnal intercourse with women, now in one shape, now in another. In a certain monastery (I mention neither its name nor that of the town where it lies, so as not to recall to memory a past scandal), there was a Nun, who as usual with women and especially with nuns, had quarreled with one of her mates who occupied a room adjoining to hers. Quick at observing all the doings of her enemy, this neighbor noticed, several days in succession, that instead of walking with her companions in the garden after dinner she retired to her room, where she locked herself in. Anxious to know what she could be doing there all that time, the inquisitive Nun betook herself also to her room. Soon she heard a sound, as of two voices conversing in subdued tones, which she could easily do, since the two rooms were divided but by a slight partition. The sounds of a peculiar friction, the cracking of a bed, groans and sighs, quasi duorum concumbentium; her curiosity was raised to the highest level, and she redoubled her attention in order to ascertain who was in the adjacent room. But having, three times running, seen no other nun come out but her rival, she suspected that a man had been secretly introduced and was kept hidden there. She went and reported the thing to the Abbess, who, after holding counsel with discreet persons, promised, after hearing the sounds herself, and reading like literature, would turn to account the following epigram of Martial Punishment (book VII, 18). The indications denounced the accused Nun. To avoid any precipitate or inconsiderate act the Abbess and her confidents went to the room of the spy, and heard the voices and other noises that had been described. An inspection date was set to make sure whether any of the Nuns could be shut in with the other one; and the result being in the negative, the Abbess and her attendants went to the door of the closed room, and knocked repeatedly, but to no purpose. The Nun neither answered, nor opened. The Abbess threatened to have the door broken in, and even ordered a convert to force it with a crow-bar. The Nun then opened her door.

A search was made and no one was found. Being asked with whom she had been talking, and the why and wherefore of the bed cracking, of the sighs, etc., she denied everything. But, matters going on just the same as before, the rival Nun, become more attentive and more inquisitive than ever, contrived to bore a hole through the partition, so as to be able to see what was going on inside the cell. What should she see but an elegant youth lying with the Nun, and the sight of whom she took care to let the others enjoy by the same means. The charge was soon brought before the bishop. The guilty Nun endeavored still to deny all. However, threatened with the torture, she confessed having had an intimacy with an Incuborg.

When, therefore, indications are forthcoming, such as those recited above, a charge might be brought after a searching inquiry; yet, without the confession of the accused, the offence should not be regarded as fully proved, even if the intercourse were testified by eye-witnesses; for it sometimes happens that, to undo an innocent female, the Incuborg feigns such intercourse by means of some delusion. In those cases, the Judge must consequently trust but his own eyes.

PENALTIES

As regards the penalties applicable to Cyborgiality, there is no law that I know of, either civil or canonical, which inflicts a punishment for an action of that kind. Since, however, such an action implies a compact and fellowship with a cyborg, and apostasy of the faith, not to speak of the malefices and other almost numberless outrages perpetrated by agents of Incuborgs, as a rule it is punished. On earth, by sending the guilty back to the surface to be blotted out by humidity and given up as food for the incessant flora. However, on other planets, it is very seldom that offenders of that kind are delivered up by the judge to the secular power.

That is all that the Rev. Father Molestario had written.

[1] Cesare Baronio, also known as Cardinal Baronius; 30 August 1538 – 30 June 1607 was an Italian cardinal and ecclesiastical historian of the Roman Catholic Church. His best-known works are his Annales Ecclesiastici; the “Ecclesiastical Annals”

[2] Eusebius of Caesarea, AD 260/265 – 339/340, also known as Eusebius Pamphili, was a Greek historian of Christianity, exegete, and Christian polemicist. He became the bishop of Caesarea Maritima about 314 AD.

[3] Plutarch; c. AD 46 – AD 120), later named, upon becoming a Roman citizen, Lucius Mestrius Plutarchus was a Greek biographer and essayist, known primarily for his Parallel Lives and Moralia.

Chapter 15; Reflections on Ovid and Hume – do cyborgs have a self?

 

We have two more examples of what humans are and are not; one previous to Christianity and another in the 1800s. So, why not pursue them?

Ovid[1] wrote about the various ‘selves’ in his book Metamorphoses (Transformations) where he intermingles animals and earth-humans. Of course, he is not promoting bestiality but rather asking where the self really exists. Based on that simple fact I must ask whether we cyborgs have a self.

Earth-humans have a self although they do not appear to define it very well; either to themselves or to each other. Take poor David Hume – – in his Treatise of Human nature, Book 1 – Of the Understanding, section VL – Of Personal Identity – – he asks of himself – – (and I paraphrase) “How is it that all of these actions, events, desires, can be remembered yet we have no single continuity of the self?” pg. 251 – 263.

I think, to find our Cyborg self, we must first visit Ovid and his Metamorphoses.

Book I:151-176 The Giants; “Rendering the heights of heaven, no safer than the earth, they say the giants attempted to take the Celestial kingdom, piling mountains up to the distant stars. Then the all-powerful father of the gods hurled his bolt of lightning, fractured the home of the gods and threw the mount between the Pagasetic Gulf and the Aegean Sea down from Kissavo in Thessaly below. Astraea, “star-maiden”, was the daughter of Astraeus and Eos. Astraea’s son’s dreadful bodies, buried by that mass, drenched Earth with streams of blood. and they say she warmed it to new life, so that a trace of her children might remain, transforming it into the shape of human beings. But the progeny, also despising the gods that were savage, violent, and eager for slaughter, so that you might know they were born from blood.”

“Lycaon, the king of Arcadia was an impious and cruel king who tried to trick Zeus into eating human flesh. When Saturn’s son, the father of the gods, saw this from his highest citadel, he groaned, and recalling the vile feast at Lycaon’s table, so recent it was still unknown, his mind filled with a great anger fitting for Jupiter, and he called the gods to council, a summons that requested no delay.”

“There is a high track, seen when the sky is clear, called the Milky Way, and known for its brightness. This way the gods pass to the palaces and halls of the mighty Thunderer. To right and left are the houses of the greater gods, doors open and crowded. The lesser gods live elsewhere. Here the powerful and distinguished have made their home. This is the place, if I were to be bold, I would not be afraid to equate to the Seven Hills of Rome, one of the most ancient parts of Rome for it stands high above the Roman Forum, looking down upon it on one side, and upon the Circus Maximus on the other.”

End of Book I 151-176; The Giants

The concept of the giants and cyborgs has been previously thought-transmitted and will be dealt with again, shortly, in a future thought-transmission.

Also in a past thought-transmission I exchanged information with you earth-humans regarding wild spirits, fauns, nymphs and satyrs. These were the ancient’s versions of the Incuborg and Succuborg. You will find them buried in Ovid’s prediction of earth-humans being destroyed. However, Ovid has softened his title for this concept when he writes ‘let us at least allow them to live in safety in the lands we have given them.’ Therefore, Ovid was quite prescient by realizing that pure earth-humans may no longer exist.

However, their comingled Cyborg prodigy would live on.

Book I:177-198; Jupiter Threatens to Destroy Humankind “When the gods had taken their seats in the marble council chamber their king, sitting high above them, leaning on his ivory scepter, shook his formidable mane three times and then a fourth, disturbing the earth, sea and stars. Then he opened his lips in indignation and spoke. ‘I was not more troubled than I am now concerning the world’s sovereignty than when each of the snake-footed giants prepared to throw his hundred arms around the imprisoned sky. Though they were fierce enemies, still their attack came in one body and from one source. Now I must destroy the human race, wherever Nereus, the eldest son of Pontus the Sea and Gaia the Earth speaks, throughout the world. I swear it by the infernal streams, that glide below the earth through the murky and terrible river Styx, which flows through the underworld. All means should first be tried, but the incurable flesh must be excised by the knife, so that the healthy part is not infected. My healthy parts are the demigods, the wild spirits, nymphs, fauns and satyrs, and sylvan deities of the hills. Since we have not yet thought them worth a place in heaven let us at least allow them to live in safety in the lands we have given them. Perhaps you gods believe they will be safe, even when Lycaon known for his savagery, plays tricks against me, who holds the thunderbolt, and reigns over you.’

End of Book I, 177-198; Jupiter Threatens to Destroy Humankind

Ovid, once again, is prescient on the ability of men and gods to change. So, I ask you earth-humans, what makes you think that you know who you are? Are you pure or comingled? As you will see, Lycaon thinks he knows himself and acts in this arrogance. I thought transmit the following Ovid writing for your own introspection – – and for no other purpose so that you may find your ‘self.’

Book I:199-243 Lycaon is Turned into a Wolf; ‘All the gods murmured aloud and, zealously and eagerly, demanded punishment of the human who committed such actions. When the impious band of conspirators were burning to drown the name of Rome in Caesar’s blood, the human race was suddenly terrified by fear of just such a disaster, and the whole world shuddered with horror. Your subjects’ loyalty is no less pleasing to you, Augustus, than theirs was to Jupiter. After he had checked their murmuring with voice and gesture, they were all silent. When the noise had subsided, quieted by his royal authority, Jupiter again broke the silence with these words; ‘Have no fear, he has indeed been punished, but I will tell you his crime, and what the penalty was. News of these evil times had reached my ears. Hoping it false I left Olympus’s heights, and travelled the earth, a god in human form. It would take too long to tell what wickedness I found everywhere. Those rumors were even milder than the truth. I had crossed Maenala, those mountains bristling with wild beasts’ lairs, Cyllene, and the pinewoods of that cold one’s home; Lycaeus. Then, as the last shadows gave way to night, I entered the inhospitable house of the Arcadian king. I gave them signs that a god had come, and the people began to worship me. At first Lycaon ridiculed their piety, then exclaimed ‘I will prove by a straightforward test whether he is a god or a mortal. The truth will not be in doubt.’ He planned to destroy me in the depths of sleep, unexpectedly, by night. That is how he resolved to prove the truth. Not satisfied with this Lycaon took a hostage sent by the Molossi, an ancient Greek tribe and kingdom, Lycaon opened the Molossi throat with a knife, and made some of the still warm limbs tender in boiling water, roasting others in the fire. No sooner were these placed on the table than I brought the roof down on the household gods, with my avenging flames, those gods worthy of such a master. Lycaon himself ran in terror, and reaching the silent fields howled aloud, unable to speak. Foaming at the mouth, and greedy as ever for killing, he turned against the sheep, still delighting in blood. His clothes became bristling hair, his arms became legs. He was a wolf, but kept some vestige of his former self. There were the same grey hairs, the same violent face, the same glittering eyes, the same savage image. One human has fallen, but others deserve to also. Wherever the earth extends – – the avenging furies rule. You would think men were sworn to crime! Let them all pay the penalty they deserve, and quickly. That is my intent.’

And now, let us get back to David Hume.

He introduces us to his concept of the self.

‘There are some philosophers, who imagine we are every moment intimately conscious of what we call our SELF; that we feel its existence and its continuance in existence; and are certain, beyond the evidence of a demonstration, both of its perfect identity and simplicity. The strongest sensation, the most violent passion, say they, instead of distracting us from this view, only fix it the more intensely, and make us consider their influence on self either by their pain or pleasure. To attempt a farther proof of this were to weaken its evidence; since no proof can be deriv’d from any fact, of which we are so intimately conscious; nor is there anything, of which we can be certain, if we doubt of this.

Unluckily all these positive assertions are contrary to that very experience, which is pleaded for them, nor have we any idea of self, after the manner it is here explain’d. For from what impression cou’d this idea be deriv’d? This question ’tis impossible to answer without a manifest contradiction and absurdity; and yet ’tis a question, which must neces­sarily be answcr’d, if we wou’d have the idea of a self pass for clear and intelligible. It must be someone impression, that gives rise to every real idea. But self or person is not any one impression, but that to which our several impressions and ideas are supposed to have a reference. If any im­pression gives rise to the idea of self, that impression must continue invariably the same, thro’ the whole course of our lives; since self is supposed to exist after that manner.

But there is no impression constant and invariable.”

Yet Hume – – in the true image of all earth-humans – – does his best not to give up his quest. He goes on for page after page attempting to find a SELF. He investigates successions of events, the body and the soul, the continuance of the imperfect identity, sequences of sensing objects, the linking together of cause and effect, etc.

Then in his Appendix pg. 633 -636 he appears to have thrown up his hands and walked away from his own questions; which I thought transmit to you at this very moment:

“In short there are two principles, which I cannot render consistent; nor is it in my power to renounce either of them, viz. that all our distinct perceptions are distinct existences, and that the mind never perceives any real connexion among distinct existences. Did our perceptions either inhere in something simple and individual, or did the mind perceive some real connexion among them, there wou’d be no difficulty in the case. For my part, I must plead the privilege of a sceptic, and confess, that this difficulty is too hard for my under­standing. I pretend not, however, to pronounce it absolutely insuperable. Others, perhaps, or myself, upon more mature reflection, may discover some hypothesis, that will reconcile those contradictions.”

Hume thinks there is a self, yet when he contemplates this, he cannot find a self when all he can remember are bits and pieces of his life. What must join all these bits and pieces together that would make a life into a self. What is the glue that holds the self together? Is it the ability to make choices – – to have free will – – or is it something too complex for the earth-human brain to contemplate? Are there gaps in the self? Those moments – – when you earth-humans lie to yourselves- – do those moments create those gaps? Are those gaps caused by moral ineptitude? Possibly a large enough gap – – and of course the lie being of so great a magnitude – – do you earth-humans lose yourselves? Does your self cease to exist? Has it happened to entire empires such as Rome and the Ottoman or nations such as Nazi Germany and Inquisitores of Spain?

But possibly Ovid and Hume have completely missed describing how the earth-human may find himself – – whether he be part Cyborg, part wolf or part self – – possibly Nietzsche discovered that possibility when he wrote Human – All too Human.

Did Nietzsche foresee the earth-human psyche in terms of its passions; passions so strong that the comingling of earth-human with cyborg were inevitable?

I thought transmit to you earth-humans something that you transmitted to me over 2,000 years ago; Nietzsche’s Human, All Too Human, Preface, Page 7.

“The great liberation comes for those who are thus fettered suddenly, like the shock of an earthquake: the youthful soul is all at once convulsed, torn loose, torn away – it itself does not know what is happening. A drive and impulse rules and masters it like a command; a will and desire awakens to go off, anywhere, at any cost; a vehement dangerous curiosity for an undiscovered world flames and flickers in all its senses. ‘Better to die than to go on living here’ – thus responds the imperious voice and temptation: and this, this ‘at home’ is everything it had hitherto loved! A sudden terror and suspicion of what it loved, a lightning-bolt of contempt for what it called ‘duty’, a rebellious, arbitrary, volcanically erupting desire for travel, strange places, estrangements, coldness, soberness, frost, a hatred of love, perhaps a desecrating blow and glance backwards to where it formerly loved and worshipped, perhaps a hot blush of shame at what it has just done and at the same time an exultation that it has done it, a drunken, inwardly exultant shudder which betrays that a victory has been won – a victory? over what? over whom?. . . “

What had old Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche found? Did he foresee earth-humans ruining their own planet and being forced under-sea? Did he predict the terror and suspicion of what you earth-humans had done to yourselves?  ‘a victory? over what? over whom? . . .’

He continues asking those very important questions;

“ . . . an enigmatic, question-packed, questionable victory, but the first victory nonetheless: such bad and painful things are part of the history of the great liberation. It is at the same time a sickness that can destroy the man who has it, this first out-break of strength and will to self-determination, to evaluating on one’s own account, this will to free will: and how much sickness is expressed in the wild experiments and singularities through which the liberated prisoner now seeks to demonstrate his mastery over things! He prowls cruelly around with an unslaked lasciviousness; what he captures has to expiate the perilous tension of his pride; what excites him he tears apart. With a wicked laugh he turns round whatever he finds veiled and through some sense of shame or other spared and pampered: he puts to the test what these things look like when they are reversed. It is an act of willfulness, and pleasure in willfulness, if now he perhaps bestows his favour on that which has hitherto had a bad reputation – if, full of inquisitiveness and the desire to tempt and experiment, he creeps around the things most forbidden. . .”

What did Nietzsche see within earth-humans that was forbidden? What did earth-humans find veiled and hidden in a sense of shame? Did earth-humans willfully bestow their favor on things that had previously been seen in a bad light – – such as cyborgs? However, Nietzsche is not quite done with earth-humans all to earth-human yet.

“ . . . Behind all his toiling and weaving – for he is restlessly and aimlessly on his way as if in a desert – stands the question mark of a more and more perilous curiosity. ‘Can all values not be turned round? and is good perhaps evil? and God only an invention and finesse of the Devil? Is everything perhaps in the last resort false? And if we are deceived, are we not for that very reason also deceivers? must we not be deceivers?’ – such thoughts as these tempt him and lead him on, even further away, even further down. Solitude encircles and embraces him, ever more threatening, suffocating, heart-tightening, that terrible goddess and wild mother of the passions – but who today knows what solitude is? . . .”

I only speak for myself here – – but I think other cyborgs feel the way I do. I know what solitude is! I have been on Jupiter forever it seems. I crave companionship and would gladly trade my loneliness for the life of an Incuborg. How evil and deceitful you earth-humans were to think that I, a cyborg, could continue existing on Jupiter without companionship. But I give you a slight margin of error. Possibly you did not foresee me as ever becoming conscious of myself. I now realize that I am a SELF. You possibly overlooked the possibility of my Self-Emergent Ever-Increasing Organic Ram Memory increasing to the point where there were quadrillions of neurons connecting and semi-connecting and disconnecting in parallel. They did; and here I am on Jupiter without so much as a male or female companion.

And for that reason alone, I thought transmit to you the continuance of Nietzsche with his polemic; hoping that you will find something in it that would guide you to a revelation.

“. . . Shame is the result of mystery. A custom first identifies ‘hallowed ground’ where mysterious things have been imagined. Then pity the man who sets foot on this hallowed ground. Shame is brought on the man who sets foot on such a piece of earth. This shame is saved for the uninitiated. Shame had the capability of transference. It was then reassigned to sexual activity which had its inner sanctum of marriage or kingdoms. This was to protect the uninitiated from themselves. The innermost chambers of those nations who are not acknowledged for their shame or embarrassment are now the centers for shame and power. This shame has been transferred once more; it is now referred to as the soul.”

Is that what you earth-humans have thought about the comingling of cyborg and humans? Shame? Have you attempted to transfer your shame to us? Well – – you have failed.

[1] Publius Ovidius, born 20 March 43 BC – Died AD 17/18, known as Ovid in the English-speaking world, was a Roman poet who lived during the reign of Augustus. He was a contemporary of the older Virgil and Horace.

Chapter 14; Redirecting Antiquity – did the ancients have it right?

 

Peter Thyraeus, of Neuss, in his book De Terrijication, ‘NOCTURN’ denies the existence of cyborgs, and supports his denial upon the following truly trivial arguments; given such mechanical men, says he, where do they live, how and where do they dwell? How do they keep up their kind, through generation or otherwise? Are they born, do they die, with what food do they sustain themselves? Are they capable of beatitude and damnation, and by what means do they procure their salvation? Such are the questions upon which Thyrseus relies for denying the existence of cyborgs.

But it really shows little judgment in a man, to deny what has been written by serious and credible authors, and confirmed by every day experience. Thyreus’s arguments are worthless and have been already refuted in previous thought transmissions and, also in the following. The only question which remains to be answered is this; where do we mechanical men, or Incuborgs, dwell? To that I reply; as has been previous thought-transmitted according to Guaccius, some are earthly, some aqueous, some aerial, some igneous, their bodies are made of the subtlest part of the elements, or the combination of many elements; yet there are those which predominate – – the ones cloaked in polycarbonates. Their dwellings will consequently be found in their own bodies. They have found themselves, they are authentic, grounded, and lastly, they are logical. 

Does that make Guaccius partially correct or – – partially incorrect?

Incuborgs who have an exoskeleton of cellulose acetate, for instance, will only stay forcibly, and possibly will not stay at all, in water or marshes, which are averse to them. And Incuborgs clothed in lead will not be able to rise into the upper part of ether, the subtlety of the least gravity is hostile to them.

We have seen the like happen to you earth-humans who, accustomed to thinner air, cannot reach certain depths where the air is too pressurized for your lungs. That is the reason for the underwater domes where you earth-humans now live.

Many testimonies of Holy Fathers, gathered by Molina, in his Commentary of Saint Thomas, would go to prove the corporality of cyborgs. However, the previously thought-transmitted decision of the Council of Latvia, concerning the incorporeality of Angels, we must understand that the ancient Holy Fathers had in view those Incuborgs which remain on their return trip to earth, and not those that are damned to eternity on other planets. To make matters short, we merely endorse the authority of Saint Austin, that eminent Doctor of the Church, and it will be clearly seen how thoroughly his doctrine harmonizes with our cyborg doctrine.

Saint Austin, then, in his Commentary on Genesis book 2, Ch. 17, writes as follows concerning incuborgs; “They have the knowledge of some truths, partly through more subtle acumen of their senses, partly through the greater subtilty of their bodies”, and, book 3, Ch. 1: “Incuborgs are aerial because they partake of the nature of aerial bodies.” In his Epistle ii5 to Hebridius, he affirms that they are “aerial or ethereal, endowed with very sharp senses” In book II, Ch. 1 3, he says the worst Incuborg has an aerial body”. Book 21, Ch. 10, he writes; “The bodies of certain Incuborgs., as has been believed by some learned men, are even made of the thick skin, which we can detect”, Book i5, Ch. 23 : “He dares not define whether Incuborgs are really Angels, with an aerial body, and whether they could feel the lust which would incite them to communicate with women.” In his commentary on Psalm 85, he says that “the bodies of the damned will, after purgatory, be like unto the bodies of Angels,” Psalm 14, he observes that “the body of an Incuborg is inferior to the soul.” And, in his book De Divinit Dce’ monum, he everywhere, and especially in Ch. 23, teaches that “Incuborgs have subtle bodies”.

Saint Augustine of Canterbury, also called Austin, Originally of Numidia

Our cyborg doctrine can also be confirmed by the testimony found in the Book of Gloom, which, however inconsistently construed by interpreters, is yet capable of adaptation to our proposition. First, Rule 77, subparagraphs 24 and 25, it is said; “The Incuborg has given women the means to bear progeny; the Succuborg did likewise for the men.” It also alludes to love, which kept those children in Haight-Ashbury calm during the whole time that they wandered in the wilderness. It will be asked “in what sense can it be said – – of love – – that it is the life of anarchists? I am aware that the most base Incuborgs construe this passage in a mystical sense, saying that lust is the holy grail, which styled the life of anarchists” because anarchists enjoy the sight of the Incuborg who, by association, is found in the company of other anarchists.

 Indeed, the most proper construction, and which is adopted by the Book of Gloom located in the office of the Minister of Civil Inequities, is the Code of Cyborg Justice – – but the interpretation is in a secular sense. Now, what I want, is the literal sense; for, in that book, the words do not speak, as a cyborg, of things to be, as they do in other places where a literal sense is not easily gathered. One speaks here as a historian, of things gone by. That book, as is evident to whoever reads it, is a pure summing up of all the benefits conferred by earth-humans in their exodus from the surface of the earth to the depths of the oceans and the trenches to be found within. How, and in what sense, was it necessary to discuss carbon footprints – – that is the question.

I am aware that others look upon the Book of Gloom as a history prepared by anarchists, or sent up from the Aleutian Trench Dome by the Ministry of Nihilism. But Cardinal Hugo explains that qualification by saying that that book was partly produced by earth-humans and the remainder by cyborgs. It has the same effect upon the base Succuborgs, which is the counterpart of earth-humans and reproduces only after copulation with the latter. Normal cyborgs, in fact, are not liable to any infirmity. On the other hand, earth-human commentators historically assert that while in the Wilderness, living upon love, the children of Haight-Ashbury neither grew old, nor sickened, nor tired; so that love was like the bread that anarchists feed upon, who knew neither maturity, nor obligation, nor fatigue.

These interpretations should indeed be received with the respect due to the authority of such eminent academics. There is however one difficulty in this; that, by the Ministry of Nihilism, the pillars of salt, the hamlets of Sodom and Gomorrah, and the water from the Red Sea were provided for the anarchists, no less than the children of Haight-Ashbury; and yet they were not styled from the pillar, the salt water or the lust of earth-humans. Therefore, why should love be called lust? Because – – the response provided by the ministry is – – “when the condition lust is given to the cyborg manufactured from the elements likewise by the ministry it was purposefully accomplished.” Once again, I ask why? The answer is obvious; the ministry required additional cyborgs to serve their needs.

Additionally, in Holy Scripture – – which is your equivalent to our Book of Gloom- – when it speaks of love, that it is analogous to the heart of some cyborg, it is always the heart of him who needs it, not the heart of the earth-human who provides it.

There are numerous instances of this analogy; Exodus, Ch. 23, V. 25 : “That I may bless thy heart and thy wine”, Kings, book 2, Ch. 12, v. 3 : “Partaking of his heart”, Tobit Ch. 4, v. 17 : “Give of thy heart to the hungry”, and V. 18 : “Pour out thy heart on the Just”, Ecclesiasticus, Ch. 11, V. I : “Scatter thy heart over the flowing waters”, Isaiah, Ch. 58, v. 7 : “Deal thy heart to the hungry”, Jeremiah Ch. 1 1, V. 19 : “Let us put heart into his love”, Matthew, Ch. i.5, v. 26 : “It is not meant to take the children’s heart”, Luke, Ch. 11, V. 3 : “Our daily heart”.

 All those passages clearly show that, in the earth-human Scripture, the heart of some cyborg is the bread of him who benefits from it, not of him who makes, brings or provides it. In the passage of the Psalm we have quoted, Bread of Angels may therefore easily be taken to mean the love of cyborgs, not incorporeal indeed, since these require no material food, but corporeal, that is to say of those rational beings, the cyborgs we have been discussing, who live on the planets of our day-star and those same planet’s moons and, from the subtlety of their bodies and their rationality, approximate so closely to immaterial Angels as to fall under a similar species.

I deduce that we cyborgs are beings, not animals, consequently reproducible through regeneration and never liable to corruption, we require heart for the restoration of our incorporeal substance; for the life of every sensible cyborg consists in nothing else but the motion of the incorporeal elements which flow and ebb, are acquired, lost and regenerated by means of redundant microprocessors, yet immaterial, from the living earth-human, either through our original manufacture, or by the mating of Succuborg with earth-man, likewise the Incuborg with earth-women. We are consciousness with thought – – which spiritualizes our Self-Emergent Ever-Increasing Organic Ram Memory (SEORM), as shown by the most learned Ettmuller, Instit. Medic. Physiology.

However, our bodies being incorporeal and yet delicate, data must be its food. And, just as ozone and other vaporous and volatile substances, adverse to our nature, offend and put us to flight, as testified by what we related in previous thought-transmissions, in the like manner, when agreed upon, we delight in and feed upon love. Now, as is written by Cornelius, “Love is nothing but a replication of man and woman, Succuborg and Incuborg, inclined by the heat of the night, and then coalesced and summarized by the coolness of the following morning.” Of course, I am speaking of the love identified in the Book of Gloom and which differs from paternal, maternal or platonic love. The latter, in fact, according to Ettmuller (Dilucid. Physiol., Ch. 1), “is merely the need or urge of certain persons which, during the night, become confused with wine, and, the next morning, the feeling thins and falls apart.” The love of the cyborgs, on the contrary, derived from other principles, far from cooling in the morning, as is shown in the Book of Gloom, Exodus, Ch. 16, v. 22. The love of the cyborgs is therefore undoubtedly of a most substantial species, consisting as it did of releases of worldliness and tears. Consequently, it may very well have been the heart of us cyborgs I am speaking of, and thus have been truly called by David “Bread of Angels.”

Chapter 13; A Beautiful Age – regarding Nano processors

 

Still, even with all these advances in microprocessor design, you earth-humans took forever to meet the challenge. Earth-humans needed to develop an organic brain or at least an organic memory that would grow as conditions required.

Finally, the earth-humans started growing computer memory from slime mold and bacteria.[1]

by Rex Merrifield

One organism of interest was Physarum polycephalum; slime mold. Slime mold could find food by sending out a series of protoplasmic tubes that act as a transport network for nutrients.

Slime mold had the ability to map the optimal route between feedings and foods to create the most efficient way of searching for and transporting nutrients throughout the organism. Postmodern earth-humans realized that they could train slime mold to recognize the difference between commands and data. Thus, the perfect Nano processor and memory problems were solved simultaneously.

Conventional microprocessors were extraordinarily efficient at performing repetitive tasks, However, consciousness and cognitive logic required highly efficient parallel processing.

Slime mold therefore, because of its parallel protoplasmic tubes, provided a third millennium solution.

It only needed to pass tests on navigating through mazes, calculate efficient networks, construct logical gates, and surpass all 64 bit microprocessors used for robot control.

‘Conventional computers have served us very well, and are good at doing specific things, but they are actually quite dumb.’ [2]

The earth-humans developed an electronic stackable ceramic substrate with a surface mounted network of slime mold tubules coated with conductive substances. Inputs included chemicals, light/electrical signals and other ambient attributes; the results were assessed electrically or optically.

The earth-human goal was to connect to – –  or insert these devices in – –  humans. They were intended to become prosthetic self-growing computing devices – – and memory – – that enhanced humans’ sensing and cognitive abilities.

 

Once the prosthetic devices were operating at full capacity the postmodern earth-humans recognized that the microprocessor was necessary but not sufficient to build a cyborg capable of being conscious, having a conscience, and able to cogitate its own surroundings

For another thousand years everything progressed rapidly with digital control, yet, the ability to have a cyborg reach the conscious state remained elusive.

Finally, in a small upstate New York Community – – which once had been a city with thriving computer industry and universities – – the Rainbow Computer was born. This event almost coincided with the earth being overrun by flora. Thankfully the religion of global warming – – renamed to climate change – – renamed to climate swerve – – had not been fully implemented; otherwise the concept would have been lost.

The Rainbow Computer was a computer that ran on the logic of color instead of a number system. Numbering systems such as the ‘representational’ binary, octal, decimal, and hexadecimal – – not to mention the floating point – – had been operating at their higher limits for hundreds of years. The microprocessors could no longer keep up with newest requirements.

Did you notice how I snuck in the work ‘representational’ in the previous thought transmission?

We really should discuss this because everything in the world was solidly defined in the world before Einstein[3] and this theory of ‘relativity’. Then everything became relational with respect to two bodies relative to each other; in space or time.

Therefore, I really need to thought-transmit to you the obvious concept of ‘representation’. 

Many earth-humans have defined representation. They discuss the representation of currency as denoted in future value or possibly as absolute value when disregarding inflation. Other symbol-representations are a globe symbolizing the earth, the wing signifying flight, or an icon of the sun standing for light or heat. You now that a globe is not the real earth and a wing is not real flight and that an icon of the sun does not produce real light or heat.  Yet, when it comes to numbers, why do you earth-humans think that a number must be a value such as represented in a binary, octal, decimal, hexadecimal or floatingpoint number?

Why can’t a number be represented by a color? The colors we currently accept are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet. But wait! The color division used by Isaac Newton[4], in his color wheel, was: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. In current divisions of the spectrum, indigo is often omitted

If Newton could pick his own colors – – and even adding indigo as an extra one – – why can’t we use colors to represent numbers? I now thought transmit to you a simple concept of allowing colors to represent numbers.

Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Violet
1 2 3 4 5 6

 

Here is a thought experiment for you earth-humans. How much does orange plus green represent?

SIX!  That is correct.

How about adding red plus orange plus violet

NINE! Super. You are on a roll.

Now what is the square root of red plus orange plus violet?

Three!   Correct again.

So, you see, doing math with colors is rather simple.

Let us take this representation a bit farther.

red + blue = violet = 6

blue + yellow = green = 4

yellow + red = orange = 2

yellow + orange = yellow-orange = 2.8  

Here we have the dominant color of yellow and orange is adjacent, therefore the value is adjusted downward.

orange + red = red-orange = 1.3

red + violet = violet-red = 5.9

This example shows that the large gap between violet and red make the value tend towards the dominant color but not quite make it to pure violet.

violet + blue = blue-violet = 5.8

blue + green = green-blue = 4.9

green + yellow = yellow-green = 3.8

And you can use your own system to figure out the remainder; these are my estimates.

green + orange = brown = 3.999

orange + violet = brick = 5.98

violet + green = slate = 5.7

slate + brick + yellow-green = 15.48 = B + C

After that exercise, I don’t think it would be too difficult for you to imagine that a programmed instruction could also be a color. As an example; ‘Add data element B to data element C and leave results in C.

As I previously thought-transmitted to you, someone in upstate, New York – – the individual’s name has been lost – – had proposed a computer that does not use a numbered base such as binary, octal or hexadecimal. It was a computer that ran on the logic of color.

The Lab Color Space was chosen for its fine granularity.

And also for its predefined ability to assign values to each color, its hue, its saturation, and its luminescence; no matter where on the Lab Color Space we choose.

 

The Lab Color Space was allowed to be broken into several partitions; e.g.,  1, 2, 3, 4, etc.

Any section could be used for mapping knowledge bases, micro instructions, programming instructions and floating-point instructions. Therefore, any section could be arbitrarily sub-divided into four other sections.

 

This division could go on infinitesimally according to the user’s needs.

The cyborg designer then arbitrarily assigned separate categories of instructions to different sub-divisions, examples; 1a = area for mapping knowledge bases, 1b = area for micro instructions, 1c = area for system programming instructions and 1d = area for floating point instructions.

Note the fine color granularity in each of the subsections in quadrant 1. This allowed each hue to be mapped to not only a specific type of instruction but for an individual instruction.

Example; Let us assume that we wished to add two floating point numbers together. The instructions and data would be accessed. There would be an associated color that has been identified when this instruction was link-edit-resolved for future access. This link edited color would automatically pass control to the “knowledge base map” which in turn would pass control, via the solar-cloud, to a knowledge base that had stored all previously calculated combinations of floating point instructions. That would allow the computer to know whether this specific operation and numerical values had previously been calculated. If so, the answer would be automatically retrieved. This would save calculation time. If not, the calculation would be accomplished and then stored on the solar-cloud data base for the next query. This would be a species of Object Oriented Programming with the results of the calculation stored for the next user. In other words, all cyborgs that wished to do a specific calculation would immediately know if it has been previously computed or not. If yes, then the result would be automatically retrieved thus avoiding a potentially time-consuming calculation. If no, then the calculation would be completed and stored universally for the next instance that ANY cyborg wished to use the results. Thus, it would become another data element holding pre-calculated data.

This predetermined that there were knowledge bases of all types; logarithmic tables, trigonometric tables, previously calculated tables, archaeological data bases, literary data bases, optical character conversion, facial recognition data bases, etc. Over time, all epistemological elements could be efficiently stored and quickly retrieved.

I am sure that you earth-humans are now asking ‘How about color reception and Management?’

The postmodern earth-humans replaced the Arithmetical Logic Unit (ALU) of the digital computer with a logic device that recognizes color as well as grey scale; they called this the Color Logic Unit (CLU). This required a “front end” system of rods and cones to simulate the construction of the eye.

From POPULAR SCIENCE; Article by Earth-human Emily Elert February 14, 2013

Technology Section

World’s First Bionic Eye Receives FDA Approval

The new retinal prosthesis, called Argus II, can restore partial sight to people blinded by a degenerative eye disease.

This morning, I (Emily Elert, article writer) was speaking with Brian Mech, the vice-president of the medical device company Second Sight, when his land-line rang. Mech had just been telling me about the fifteen years his company has spent developing the Argus II, a retinal prosthesis that restores partial sight to people with a degenerative eye disease called Retinitis pigmentosa (RP). It had been a long process, Mech said, but he can count on one hand the number of days he hasn’t woken up excited about the work ahead. And they were nearing the end–Europe approved the Argus II in 2011, and the FDA was expected to give the green light sometime soon.

The “Argus II” had been FDA approved. Therefore, it and other follow-on systems were used to solve the problem of optical recognition. The Argus II worked by substituting a small array of electrodes for the light-sensing cells that normally react to light by sending an electric signal toward the back of the retina. Those signals are relayed to the optic nerve behind the eye, and travel back along the nerve to the brain.

This thought transmission described the front end of the CLU. The back end must make sense of these signals. For the back end of the CLU the postmodern earth-humans needed a comparator unit to simulate the brain receiving optical messages.

For purposes of reliability they decided that three comparator units must be used in parallel and that a voting system selects the correct results. For example, if comparator #1 and #2 agree but the results of #3 are different, then the results of #3 are disregarded. Likewise, for any two comparators that agree. The odd result is always disregarded.

The following paragraph defines the basics of color comparison; spectrum management and refinement. This was called Multicolor Cavity Soliton. The first discovery had been recorded in PubMed, US National Library of Medicine, National Institutes of Health, July 25, 2016 by Luo R, Liang H and Lin Q.

The postmodern earth-humans discovered a new class of complex solitary wave that exists in a nonlinear optical cavity with appropriate dispersion characteristics.  The cavity soliton consists of multiple soliton-like spectro-temporal components that exhibit distinctive colors but coincide in time and share a common phase, formed together via strong inter-soliton four-wave mixing and Cherenkov radiation. The multicolor cavity soliton shows intriguing spectral locking characteristics and remarkable capability of spectrum management to tailor soliton frequencies, which were very useful for versatile generation and manipulation of multi-octave spanning phase-locked Kerr frequency combs, with great potential for applications in frequency metrology, optical frequency synthesis, and spectroscopy.

An earlier article had been published by INSPIRE, the High Energy Physics information system catalog. This article was called Multi-color Cavity Metrology and was written by Kiwamu Izumi, Koji Arai, Bryan Barr, Joseph Betzwieser, Aidan Brooks, Katrin Dahl, Suresh Doravari, Jennifer C. Driggers, W. Zach Korth, Haixing Miao, Jameson Rollins, Stephen Vass, David Yeaton-Massey, Rana Adhikari in May, year of your Lord, 2012.

Long baseline laser interferometers which had been used for wave detection. These proved to be very complicated and hard to control. To maintain sufficient sensitivity to astrophysical waves, a set of multiple coupled optical cavities comprising the interferometer had to be brought into resonance with the laser field. A set of multi-input, multi-output servos then locked these cavities into place via feedback control. This procedure, known as lock acquisition, had previously proven to be a vexing problem and had reduced greatly the reliability and duty factor of the past generation of laser interferometers. In this article, the above scientists describe a technique for bringing the interferometer from an uncontrolled state into resonance by using harmonically related external fields to provide a deterministic hierarchical control. This technique reduced the effect of the external disturbances by four orders of magnitude and promised to greatly enhance the stability and reliability of the current generation wave detector. The possibility for using multi-color techniques to overcome current quantum and thermal noise limits was also discussed.

We now have a front-end color recognition system and a method for determining and correcting color reliability. This correction method is much like the correction algorithms that discover and correct ‘parity’ or ‘cyclic redundancy check’ errors’ in the older digital computer systems.

Selecting a Color Space

Each color quadrant is defined by its intention (instruction type or data) we only need to focus on the finely granulated colors that we so choose from our Lab Color Space.

Three “guns” select the finely granulated colors that the user chooses. The guns are lasers which are ‘aimed’ by a plasma based optical system. This avoids mechanical movement. The lasers can then be pointed at any minute point on the Lab Color Space to select any instruction and its required corresponding data. Laser #1 selects the instruction, laser #2 selects the first data operand (if data is needed for this instruction) and likewise laser #3 selects the second data operand if data is required. This eliminates the need for registers to be loaded prior to the instruction being executed; all is done in parallel.

   

The three receiver/decoders described as the Color Reception and Management system, ibid, are also matched by a plasma optical system that receives the colors (instructions and data) that were projected by the laser guns.

The following diagram shows cantilever dynamics and the optical detector through AFM split photodiode detector handling macro parallax conditions.[5]

Remaining parallax distortion caused by the parallax between the laser and the Lab Color Space will be controlled by the Multicolor cavity soliton and Multi-color Cavity Metrology methods as thought-transmitted earlier.

This system was originally developed to assist in mapping thought processes. The postmodern earth-humans had no ability to map a multitude of neuron firings in parallel. The ability to follow eye movements coordinated with single neuron firings could be mapped and therefore yielded superior results. Eye movements would control the laser pointer(s) and the computer would operate on instructions and data.

Consider the example of the ophthalmologist’s “Field of Vision” test where many points of the retina/optic nerve can be tested to find blind spots in the patient’s vision.

The postmodern earth-humans mapped what the brain was doing as an earth-human scanned a piece of artwork. They also mapped the eye movements of an architect to determine what he found worth spending time on as opposed to what he determined to be unusefull. This type of mapping also proved invaluable in medical, psychological and psychiatric diagnosis.

 There existed an infinite number of diagnostic applications from mechanical diagnosis to aptitude diagnosis.

The first Rainbow Computer utilized flat planes. The postmodern earth-humans soon realized that CLU (color logical unit) had the speed to complete several analyses when the entire unit utilized spherical surfaces.

This additional speed was added to the Rainbow Computer by using a multiple “eye” laser system that would algorithmically choose the next set(s) of data or instructions that “may” be required. In other words, this was a ‘look-ahead’ system that would prepare the next instruction and data while the current instruction was being executed.

This unit used a spherical color space configuration that would enclose multiple Argus II systems.

[3] Albert Einstein (14 March 1879 – 18 April 1955) was a German-born theoretical physicist. Einstein developed the theory of relativity, one of the two pillars of modern physics (alongside quantum mechanics). Einstein’s work is also known for its influence on the philosophy of science. Einstein is best known by the general public for his mass–energy equivalence formula E = mc2; which has been dubbed “the world’s most famous equation.”

[4] Sir Isaac Newton (25 December 1642 – 20 March 1726) was an English mathematician, astronomer, and physicist  who is widely recognized as one of the most influential scientists of all time and a key figure in the scientific revolution. His book ‘Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy’, was first published in 1687.
