Mission Logs
MAIN ADVENTURE: What can we achieve through Data Networking?
We're writing the beginning of a new story. When the Internet first came about no one really knew what they were up against. Today we know more, but understand less. Our hope lies with Cybernetics more so than ever – the study and communication of structures formed within dynamic systems made out of movable parts that influence each other. There's daoism in it, too!
I hesitate to spin off into occultist poetics so early on into the adventure. The temptation is strong – pretty words is what catches peoples' attention. But it's marketing, and marketing by default can't be truth. I'd even go as far as to say that marketing is anti-scientific communication, and most of the issues we have in culture can be traced back to the abuse of propaganda as a marketing device. Or maybe it's more apt to say "the abuse of propaganda devices for marketing", as that is the exact origin of public relations (see: "Propaganda" by Edward Bernayes).
At the end of day the struggle towards truth comes up against the warmachine, pitting us against each other in unhealthy competition. This leads to exploitation, which facilitates abusive relations, which destroys social culture and replaces it with entertaining anti-culture. But there's no meaning within it. It's communication devoid of relevant data, pure content without information.
What does a network look like which is built to facilitate the opposite of exploitation? Surely it contains traits we already know work well – open source, public domain, right to remix, right to repair, etc. Maybe this can be summarized underneath the concept "right to hack", or potentially even "right to learn". There's no replacing direct experience in any field of study, electronics included.
On another note, it seems that ternary computing is slowly gaining traction. This could bring blessings with it, if we manage to get the culture right. Three-valued logic seems to make more sense to humans than on-yes-off-no-duality. Sometimes things aren't just on or off but someplace inbetween. Certain mathematical operations are easier to encode in ternary as opposed to binary as well, from what I understand after one evening of research. I'll have to play around with the concept at some point, which won't be all too hard. There already exists a ternary-based oracle system which came about roughly at the same time as the binary-based Yi Jing. Talk about..... "coincidence"!
As a preliminary conclusion to this very tentative description of the adventures that are occurring... maybe genuine computing hasn't even been attempted yet. Maybe the real computer is different from anything we've seen so far. Maybe we've been missing puzzle pieces from quantum science and relativity. Who's to say whether or not we're "computer" yet?
