what a fascinating read. maybe you will find this interesting also. the word computer seems to have its origins in the latin word "putare" which points to think and to prune. signals emerge from reducing noise and the precise motor movements are learned not just by reinforcing pathways but by pruning away the rest. Whats really peculiar is that the word computer used to be used to describe people. before the invention of mechanical and digital computers, a computer was a person that could compute and many computers were women.
the mentat in Frank Herbert's Dune are this. They were inspired by Herbert's grandmother.
from Dreamer of Dune:
"Though an illiterate country-woman, [Frank's grandmother Mary Ellen Herbert] was a genius with figures, and no matter how big the numbers were that anyone wanted her to add, subtract, multiply, or divide, she always got the answers right. She instilled a love of math in her favorite grandson, which he employed in his science fiction writings. She also had an incredible memory, and recalled details perfectly from decades before. Mary Herbert was, in effect, a human computer, and she became a model for the Mentats of Dune."
I was just thinking about how patterns define reality a few hours ago. Then i saw multiple triple numbers and got a notification for this post. Good work
It's just me or the Tartarian post was deleted, out of this reality. It feels like an odd dream recalling the post, or maybe it was just an idea that already achieved its purpose, negative telos.. Forever contained in my mail.
Your insights on reality as a web of 'in-between' patterns resonate with my work in incremental translation and inspired deconstructing the word you used, "Imago Dei", across languages revealing a vertical axis of meaning — a symbolic journey between identity and the divine.
Your analogy of cities and circuit boards, and the need to 'ritualize' AI-driven pattern recognition, feels timely. My hope is that new tools like incremental translation can help us consciously navigate these patterns and avoid blind computation.
So, if I may humbly posit a question/comparison now that I'm truly wrapping my mind around these retrocausal effects of the 'discovery' of simulation theory 'de-timing' the present as i believe you called it:
Is there an equivalent effect for the 'discovery' of multiverse theory?
My heart aches for what is coming. I pray if I do my work now the plagues of the future will pass over me and those of my house. Sinning spec of dust that I am.

"many computers were women" interesting, especially considering patterns with women as of now. I'm working on an article on that as well.

This is amazing work!
Thank you!

It means it's working
Any relation to time patterns?
Cant wait to see where this will lead us in the future.
