Geomemes and Narrative History

GEOMEMES

Life in the 60's wasn't all just gettin' high, growing soul and protesting the Vietnam war. There were genuine intellectual achievements most relevant today, among them the books "The Politics of Experience" (R.D. Laing) and "The Politics of Consciousness" (Leary and Alpert). Both concerned manipulation of consciousness, or content of individual and collective consciousness, by external powers and forces that constrained freedom of being and expression, relating especially to psychedelic drug use. As a regular category of philosophical discussion, "consciousness" had yet to acquire a grammar. It had become little more than a suspect term from alchemy, abused by spititualists, hucksters, psychoanalysts, paranormal explorers, faux metaphysicians and preachers -- never coming into its own, as a single subject (despite the legacy of Parmenides' Sphere). Therefore never Squared out in discourse. Among reasons for this (contradicted on the token side by everyone assuming "I"- unity in their own case) are tbc

Critique of "Narrative History". (...it includes consciousness, but...)

A narrative told about what happened in the past is not history. It is true that anecdotes, vignettes, speeches and details of off-stage personal lives on-stage players often contain essential explanations of events. These get included in narration, whereas more strict factual summaries may omit them. But often also included are far-fetched legends, tales of exaggerated heroism, war victories that didn't occur, products of politics, vainglory and treason.

The ease with which historical narratives can be altered is illustrated by Assysian king Esarhaddon, Ashurbanapal's father, altering the number-sign for "70", in cuneiform, to "11", to signify shortening of Marduk's curse on Babylon for destruction of his temple. The inscriptions for sexagesimal system made the 60 + 10 sign look like the sign for eleven, when held upside down and read backward.

"The merciful Marduk,
"in a moment when his heart was appeased,
"turned the tablet upside down
"and, in the eleventh year,
"approved the restoration."


It was beneficial to Esarhaddon to begin rebuilding Marduk's temple sooner; rebuilding could not be started without the Great God of all God's explicit permision; "70" in the original decree lookrd like 11, upside down. Wallah! Whether it is recorded that the Assyrian conqueror was smirking or not, he knew how to put words favorable to his cause in the mouth of Highest Authority. Just reverse the tokens until the right text comes up. It is amazing that this instance of most ancient, pre-Biblical chicanery was recorded, and deciphered by Z. Sitchin. But transdimensionally more amazing still are The 11's in today's Tokenography.

What's with all the terrorist attacks on the 11th?By Michelle Tsai
Posted Monday, Dec. 17, 2007, at 6:48 PM ET

In just the past few years, there have been terrorist attacks in Milan and Mexico on the date of Oct. 11, and in Algeria on Apr. 11 and Dec. 11. Then, of course, there were the attacks in Spain on March 11 and in the United States on Sept. 11. After the Algerian bombings, Michelle Tsai looked into whether the pattern means anything.

It belongs to story telling, as a form of discourse, to include the teller's psychology as a 'framing' position of consciousness. Different tellers, different stories. (Same thing told about? What is the concept of 'same thing' here?)

Without
a metaphysics of consciousness as objective ground, this shift from 'fact' to 'narrative' has the psychosemiotic effect of replacing Truth by Truthiness. Unity of narrative will necessarily flow from the ground of unity of conscious processes under sign-use (S*).

With a metaphysics of consciousness -- systematic/ahistorical -- a given actual narration Squares (text x token) What Happened (the objective events as dinge an sich) with/by How It was Experienced.

Major substantive objection to narrative history, metaphysically ungrounded, is its invitation to substitute what is communicated by the tokens in today's S* into their original context of use -- as if predecessors in the N'S* communicated the same experiences, then, as now. This is metaphysical sabatoge through sign-use. Its unconscious telos is to prevent completion of the totality of America's collective soul-content

With a (objective) metaphysics of consciousness, the judger's subjectivity can be judged, as Square or Unsquare
('ouch'). Psychic dominance by particular Archetypes frame given positions of consciousness. (Marduk as "50" would frame the 7 x 7 = 49 square of squares.)

1. -> AIR ->
2. ( .. ) -> WATER ->
3. ( .. ) -> ( .. ) <- EARTH <->
<- FIRE -> 4th (turning)

(1.-><-4) geomeme for ('sliding calipers' adjusted for time frames through N'S* (narrative sign-use thread, with specific metaphysical grounding, Square or Unsquare) formal algorythm for a "4th turning" progression
(Music: Do-Re-(Mi (half-tone) -Fa)
Fibonnaci: (1-(1)-((2)-3))( ) -5))) (<="missing 4th', replaced by initial double 1 => one of which may be reversed

The final, and most critical, objection to naive narrative history predicated on as fact is its susceptibility to misuse in thei form of text-token reversal, conjoined under politically loaded (soul- marked) names. The soul-marks can reverse the values communicated.
