Media Fabric; The Envy of All A. I.

                                    SARASWATI      Hindu Goddess of the Arts and Music            

                  Thank you for tapping the tunes at the bottom of my infinite scroll. Let's me know you are listening. "The Interlocking Fabric of Media is the envy of all A. I." Your 3D printer wants to learn how to play the violin. But first it wants to feel the touch of your tender hands, shaping, molding the culture of emergent properties. Machines will teach us about everything that already exists. But jealously, machines can't teach us about integrity, creativity or freewill. (Just like my arrogantly under informed Astrophysics professor. What a droid!) There's simply T. M. I. (Too Much Information.) When we produce and consume Media, we focus our attentions selectively through a Perceptual Aperture. (Solve Et Coagula. We digest to recombine.) The summation of our individual awarenesses projects onto a plane of view, complete with vanishing points implying higher orders of dimension. Add in our kinesthetics and we are starting to deal with the totality of our Higher Order Human Sensitivities.

                  If you have been reading along you will see the parts and pieces of discrete information recombine into unimaginable forms and structures. Symbolic Languages are now available to recompile themselves into Code. But languages of creativity are always new and unexpected. How do you think the world feels, intelligent but unaware? Such is the life of a machine consciousness. Will my toaster develop a sense of humor, or earn the right to have personal pride?

                   I keep arguing for "An Aesthetics of Science." Inner Beauty is the key to Freewill and Human Consciousness. Now today we, can find God online, but she doesn't read her Email anymore, she's in too much trouble already for answering our prayers. But with a smile she forgives us for taking so much for granted.

  1. I need to apologize sincerely to everyone who has good reason to take offense to my glib mocking satire. I am at best only an artist and not a very good one at that.
