Prelude

Every time a person feels the truth of the world has conveyed itself, a powerful force reveals itself again reminding the person they know little to near nothing of the world or universe. An almighty force that seems to be the conductor directing our existence. Fiction is a way of making sense of this phenomenon.

The Iroquois have a term "Orenda" for this force that they believed was found in living and non living things, as well as the environment. The Polynesians have a term "Mana", a type of power that can be captured and harnessed for healing that exists everywhere in the universe. Karl Krause coined the term "Panentheism", meaning a divine force existing everywhere in the universe unbound by human concepts of time or space. The term evil-eye is a concept defining a an unknown force existing causing harm. To Christians, this unknown force is the almighty god, or at times the devil. All cultures have terms to explain a unknown, powerful force, or energy that's existing around, or at times in us. A mysterious energy with mysterious origins. An existence that some how intertwines with our own existence. Some times this force is personified, other times not, either way its strength remains a powerful force. Each of us has a choice of how we choose to make sense of our world, how to define this energy. What we choose to believe or not believe. This is my perception, my fiction to make sense of the energy I know to be in existence in this world and in my life from a very young age to its present state.

In my attempt to not sound too new age, I will try to keep this part short. This powerful force of energy helps to create contexts. These contexts carry subliminal meaning to our lives that we may never become aware of unless forced to. Imaginary strings of a web that is spun linking points of concepts, ideas, people, materials and places in a given time. An all inclusive web we are all a part of. Each point carrying many contexts that connect to other points with their own unique contexts. These connections act as spider like arteries creating layers of context that overlap in space time. Formed, from context and symbols of various disciplines. Creating a inescapable linked grid. A grid of physical and abstract forms, lending credits to various people, objects and places in a given time and space; For all beings and things in places and times.

For example, media and all published works are a form of time travel and/or parallel universes in its most simple form. Creating characters with similarities to real life.  Sometimes changing the outcomes of events. Other times, keeping the same events, but changing the characters.  Often, creating visible and understandable what if scenarios. Sometimes these new forms or contexts help us to see a character or situation differently.  An example with a personal importance to me is the movie knocked up or Meet Joe Black. A parallel universe of possibilities for a real situation between characters similar to those in a real life situation from a time that has passed. A series of possibilities being played out. Allocators and in some instances designators for events based in probabilities. Or, if you want to think of it in terms of computer language; media and other publications follow a descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive connection to the real world.

Acting like a Turing machine of probabilities where character attributes such as name, appearance, and events, etc play into the layers of past, present and future events. In its most complex form it taps into and connects with the collective and individual thoughts, hacking the neural network making a collective weight. The human brain mimics the very same exercises through memories, recall and categorization. We draw similarities between characters we know in our lives to those we see. If not in appearance, than through how they act. We do this with situations and events as well. With music we hear, etc. The senses take in the stimuli, the code, and code it for our own brains. To make our own sense of it. We share what we make of what we see and hear. Even without talking, like a mentalist, if enough people recall similar characters or situations the collective thought has real impact. The stimuli we take in may even be used as inspiration for another work. Perpetuating this cycle and the connections. It is a real network, with real probabilities continuously calculated and accounted for in the system with overlaying coding systems. All of it connecting humans to the earth and its many dimensions. The baffling synchronicity of connections and events. Welcome to the Conceptual Planet!

The Conceptual Planet is a complex fluid network relying on the grid to form a hidden accounting system. Transfers constantly made using data spanning all layers and points including those of the collective and individual neural networks. All data spanning the grid, important. I believe, a system similar to what we know as of A.I watches everything existing in the grid. We will come back to this idea later in the story. A whole chapter is designated to it so its easier to understand. Everything in the grid has a small and large or micro and macro context that in many ways mimic each other. Humans have created a human genome project, to map all the genes in the human body. Imagine if this could be done for the universe. Imagine how long this would take. How would you do it? Probably pretty similar to how we are doing it. Piece by piece.

However, the grid is not perfect. It's as if a powerful hand came down and swiped the web, destroying the grid partially, erasing the original knowledge we all had of its intricate workings and reconnected it in a less beneficial way. Now, it is waiting to be pieced back together like a puzzle, re-weaving the intricate web, replacing the threads as they should be. The re-weaving, allowing for more, for better, more efficient functioning. More beneficial transfers.

Ultimately, if we are lucky, benefiting humans with the creation of a stock-exchange like transfer system of repair of particles anywhere and anytime in the grid. Made possible, by way of a complex symbolic alphabet creation that can bridge everything existing in the universal grid, but I would settle for just our planet to start with. Smallest units or larger collections of particles traded as needed with the touch of a key stroke. The link between the abstract and concrete, by way of a new code, linking materials with function in a given time and location. Until now, never attempted except by one who has the knowledge already.

This story is my attempt at writing a script or novel following real life events with some added speculation about creation and existence based in science and tech. A few added fabrications are added as an ode to beloved Hollywood and to add interest to the integrity of the story and plot. The story is told through three contexts simultaneously. First earth based reality(my everyday life and knowledge), second the speculative and imaginative , thirdly science and technology.

Please enjoy! Next Chapter to be added soon.
