We
are told that
Cephalopods
^click me to get the lingo-meanings for this section^
(cuttlefish,
squid, ocotopii and their close relations)
share an incredibly primitive common ancestor - the Limpet.
This
earliest versions of this creature were hard-shelled gastrobrachiopods who scraped
algal blossoms off of rock to obtain food, and were incredibly
limited in the domain of movement.
The
currently popular models of Cephalopod (head-foot - but could
be more accurately named as head-hand) evolution provides for
a generalized pathway from this externally-shelled creatureset
- toward a shell-less set of highly optimized forms which utilize
an organic jet-engine to effect some modes of rapid or rhythmically
stable motion/momvement. Clams appear to us to be a retention
of the Limpet-form with conservation and elaboration of the shell
and foot. The branches that led to the Cephalopods appear to
have employed a variety of adaptive transformations, each favoring
particular investments of intentional feature-class elaboratory
modulation. In plain english, the three or four major descendents
adpoted a relatively small set of form and function optimizations,
and elaborated them according perhaps to intentional goals or
environmental variables. More likely, both. The idea that intention
plays a fundamental role in evolution has not yet gained and
noticeable creedence on Earth, at least amongst the conservative
and scientific classes of cognitives. Many other humans, however,
are not only aware of this significance in evolutionary
transformations of form and function - they are profoundly engaged
in the same intentional behaviour and are aware that all other
life forms are actively and intentionally following the same
kinds of inspirations with their cognitive intention as each
single being develops and struggles through life.
The
evolutionary tree runs from the early single-chambered limpet-forms,
through the transformations to gas-filled or fillabile chambered
shell - with first two, then three, then four (etc) chambers.
The gas (in the beings that used this mode) could provide a way
to 'lift off' into a an entirely new domain of motion, allowing
for movement beyond the snail-like crawling which made them easy
prey for their predators. Most likely, the non-gas-fillable variants
were bottom dwellers. We believe that this branch probably intended
and developed the 'sudden jet' ability by using their conical
shape as an annular chamber in which they can create a momentarily
self-elaborative vortex which scalarly returns energy invested
as a directable jet-stream.
With
a whole new domain of movement, their forms began the
slow transform from a nautilus-like chambered external shell,
to an amazing inversion: a long muscular and tentacled body,
with a shell inside - the Belemnites.
This
is how many if not all Cephalopods communicate - with mobile
patterns of incredible complexity unfolding and dissolving rapidly
on their skin surfaces. They couple this with hormonal releases
into the water, and even radical modulations of body shape
and skin texturizing - all of which is done 'on the fly'
instant to instant in growing scales of symmetry with their desired
effects. It looks in action like rapid scalar motion toward a
communicative moment which doesn't really 'resolve' at all, but
instead 'sings'. Since,
although
these creatures
(by scientific definitions)
are
colorblind
(what
does this actually mean to the beings themselves in terms
of cognitve experience
and
expression? Frankly,
it's absurd to believe that creatures this complex do not possess
senses for which we have no cognitive or experiential analog
to even begin to create a metaphor or metaphier for!
Anyone
who cared to talk to these beings, or even watch them, should
be clearly able to know that thes creatures are able to
couple sense modalities into modular wholes - like
humans, only scalarly moreso - and they do it autonomously and
intentionally - sometimes simultaneously.
It's
embarrassingly (and terrifyingly) clear that industrial societies
- and especially western and modernly sciento-cognitive societies
such as the United States - are dragging along a ridiculous aritfact
of meaning which is as absurd as it is deadly to anything
it comes near - that in the realm of intelligence, they reign
supreme. To willingly carry and conserve such a disease
(and force it upon children) is one thing...but industrial societies
symbio-rapaciously 'burn up' whole ecoystems while
the sing their warsong of dominance which is their own death-knell,
as well as that of their victims.
More
horrifying still is the certainty that, although any sane person
(i.e. an undamaged child) should be able to instantly sense
and see that these humanly hosted abiocognitve factors
and societies constitute a virulent and biotoxic ecophagy
which is global in scale, and scalar in growth over time...equates
to an incredibly obvious outcome if continued. Our people call
it Hell. In the Bible, it's referred to as Apocalypse. Perhaps
we'd best be about waking up the giants that are slaughtering
our future with their grand intelligence in order to insure
liberty, peace, brotherhood and prosperity. A dominant parasitic
mimic, once revealed as such, needs to be tamed (if possible)
or destroyed if not.
Luckily,
most abiocogntive mimic-systems (thrisps) are natural factors
which are useful tools when obeying a more balanced order...they
are like snakes, who become 'winged protectors' in the presence
of the correct amount of 'recognition factor'. (re-cognition
- re-membering 'song' - unique to any being, or defineable set
of beings...and always present and accessible to such beings
- unless they've been totally compromised by icky thrisps.
(there
are positive thrisps, obviously, as well)
(Excepted are the most primitive deviants (abiocognitive simpledemons) which
are 'born of the chaos of severe mutagenic conservation' and
are thus 'hatefully crippled against synchronizing with their
parent-systems. These 'thrisp-demons' are consitently fiercely
rapacious toward anything that can't, wont' or is too complex
to be converted into elaborative slaves and resources for their
own structures)

Contrary
to appearances, there are a large fraction of sane people and
peoples left on Earth at the moment, although the vast majority
of these cultures have been 'eaten' and 'burned' the same way
that ecosystems and niches are 'rendered into copying of copying'
by modern industrial societies.
Ecoculture is not merely a jest in the mind of some hippies -
the indiginous and moderate cultures which have been swept up
in a cataclysm of bio-cognitive war and erased had conserved
incredible cognitive skills and envirocommunal integration -
until their conversion or anihillation at the hands of the 'virulent
copiers' who rapaciously convert living lineages of incalculable
cognitive value (yes even in terms of dollars - they have real
cognitive techonologies which when positively integrated
reduce dis-ease in geometric proportion to effort expended over
time. In the game of life the only prize of
value is real available potential for what might be loosely
termed the free intentional support in the environment for
self-elaboration and fulfillment.
And
as we finish raping the land into a psybiotoxic state where no
living being can enter or prosper there, we are turning our attentions
and abuses quite rapidly to the invisible terrains and beings
beneath the surface of the Sea. What better resource to abuse
out of existence - because no one can really directly see the
damage or even the war.
And
as the symbiotically linked beings and ecosystems of the oceans
fall before the linked arguments of science, commerce, politics
and religion - the last in particular, for their 'mere beasts'
distinction, a fundamental structural homo-centricity - is and
has been the excuse for the extinction of every heartful right
and purpose of living beings unto incalculable generations of
atrocity. Unbelievers are 'mere beasts'. History which doesn't
support the rape of the world is burned or disregarded or branded
as the product of 'sick' minds. Anything and anyone can 'suddenly'
find themselves a 'mere beast' to be enslaved, tortured, executed
or otherwise isolated from life and liberty and hope - at the
hands of a very strange and abusive family. We see the
evidence of this in the execution chambers of America: The Priest,
The Technician,The State, The Guards and The Witnesses join together
to form something that, in any sane person's reality simply should
never ought to exist. That it not only exists but is supported
is a crime against humanity, children everywhere, and the innocent
people who've perished in a hell so absurd and useless that there
can be no argument in favor of it except by those blind to its
reality entirely.
And
thus it is with the 'study' and rape of the world, especially
in our moment, the Oceans - and their incredible supersymmetries
of hyperconnected sentient systems in living symbiosis.
If
we are to continue thinking that we understand the Earth well
enough to completely take over bioterrestrial regulation
- the Great Cephalopod Spirit suggests a simple abstract thought
experiment that any child should be able to easily understand
and explore.
Interestingly,
the GCS also selected a particular human being who is currently
alive that they desire to be the first that should easily erase
this idea by volunteering to actually try this (when feasible)
since they said 'She owes us a debt of honor for a series of
really ugly public insults.'
She's
a person who runs Cephalopods through trials and tests. She thinks
she's trying to determine if they 'could possibly be intelligent'.
They just think she's out of her mind, and would like to go back
to the ocean now...well, most of them.
They
say there's a few that aren't terribly unhappy yet for some reason.
The others suspect that they are infected with fascination at
her hilarious simplicity, and that it's so entertaining that,
along with the lack of predators and free food, the whole ordeal
is nearly bearable. Her name is Dr. Jean Boal, and she's re-searcher
at some institute.
They
(the cephs) say she can become their size, breathe water, get
a single year to live and a water-jet, and try her luck in their
domain, without being able to return to land.
They
estimate her survival probabity/time as 2% at 470 seconds

modes of knowing and testing.

:: Since,
although
these creatures...
(by
scientific definitions) -
are
colorblind they intentionally manifest, modulate and utilize
incredibly complex symmetries of chromatophore cells firing
in scalar sequences - to literally project an energetic
poem of incredible complexity toward any being or beings
who may be at that moment perceiving them visually via light-sensing
modalities.
What's
more, cuttlefish can paint one portrait on one 'side' of their
bodies and another entirely unique one to those beings
on the opposite side. Thus, a male can, while swimming
alongside a potential mate, send her mating signals -
whilst at the same time carry on a conversation with all males
and females on the opposite side of the courtship song.
The 'opposite' song could contain anything from a threat to a
plea to be allowed more wooing time before others interfere.
A human being would have no chance of executing such an intricate
and profoundly timing sensitive event in two domains
simultaneously.
Now
here's the really fascinating and important thing
about this activity:
In
all beings with what we'd call a 'distinct' brain in coupling
with an organic cognito-visual system the scalar electrical
activity of the brain in coupling with the visual cortex tends
to follow rhythmic patterns which are most likely representative
of scalar (and recursively fractal) patterns of emergence amongst
the involved systemic interactants - at every possible level
from single mechanisms within single cellular structures - to
the whole physiological creature and it's emerging cognitive
coupling with its environment.
This
can be (with extreme primitivity) represented in the waveforms
of an EEG readout - but the model is incredibly poor because
it's flat and the process is inwardly multidimensional
as well as multi-scalar. It is anything but flat, and
representing it flatly trains us as cognitive beings to
approach it as flat. Not a good idea.
Now,
amongst humans it can be noted that during certain forms of rhythmic
or repetitive visual stimuli, especially light / color (moreover
if coupled with sound) the brain tends toward a kind of synchronous
following which manifests, at least in EEG's, as a kind of
auto-optimizing feedback response. The more intense and 'semi-rhythmic'
the greater the apparent likelihood of this sort of response,
which has been referred to as
photic driving.
This
process is manifest as internal organizations of patterned 'echoing'
momentums, which can become quite overwhelming for the person
(or organisms) involved - for example, epileptic 'seizures',
or intra-sensory synaesthetic / hypnogogic phenomenon. In general,
the arisal of such echoes can range from extremely subtle to
totally overwhelming. During epilepsy, for example, the entire
being of the subject becomes, in a sense, nothing but a organo-systemic
device for pattern propagation.
Cephalopods
communicate not only with themselves, but with their entire environment...
(yes,
for the sake of reality they functionally address ALL local and
distant participants
- because light and color, manifesting in patterns over time,
in the land of matter, is definitely a primary universal language.
Even structures without 'eyes' can receive reflected lightwaves
or photon streams and do
something
with that data / energy / momentum )
-
constantly
- and they accomplish this in one of their primary intentional
domains by sync-coupling
the entire network of involved cellular structures energetically in scalar
phase modulations
in order to produce oscillating moments of photic driving. In
essence, these creatures are singing in a mode which is
at once bio-autonomous and intentionally directed or directable
a photic drivesong which not only utilizes base colors
(chromatophores in their skin are limited to producing blue brown
red and yellow) to pruduce functionally limitless hues...

Presume
as a thought-game that you're an advanced alien intelligence
or society or being - and you're near enough to earth to visit
it or signal somehow to beings there.
On
a planet with hominids infected with language and tool use
- and cephalopods that sing in scalar momentums of patterning...which
one would you figure for the interesting chat partner? Further
assume that the hominids are so attached to mechanical communication
modes that they cannot see that the squids are scalarly
more intelligent and communicative precisely because
they do not need, desire or use tools other than cognitive
ones.
Well,
perhaps such 'aliens' do send us crop circles. I think it slightly
more likely that such things represent a terrestrial phenomenon
that is intelligent and playful - however, those which
are not made by the hominids themselves could easily represent
an attempt to get
primitive
with
us - and freeze a moment
of scalar song tone into an image by an alien intelligence,
terrestrial or not. Of course, the very idea of an alien
is a bit absurd. Nothing in the universe is 'that unconnected'
except through abstraction which is the cognitive equivalent
of
systemic
freeze-photography
coupled
with deconstructive
modeling activity.
We
feel certain that a cephalopod would never be caught freezing
the song. Most likely,
to a Ceph - that would represent something alike with song end-death.
But
aliens who have more in common cognitively with them, than us
- would definitely find our modes of communication and frozen
song not only perplexing, but quite possibly diseased. Either
that, or, remembering their own history of cognitive evolution,
they might recognize the phase that the hominds are in as an
incredibly delicate step in the birth ladder of complex
cognitive creatures.
Our
position is that most aliens would not utilize language in any
way that even vaguely resembled human 'copyist' modalities.
Further,
we feel it more than significantly likely that such modes represent
a form of cognitive toxin when they erroneously and mimetically
assume command of the primary cognitive structures which
they much more profitably should -serve- as intentionally
directed 'false'
modeling
and manipulatory tools.
The
song, is a 'toy' of beingness, the 'tool' is a disconnected moment of
song structure
- and the symbio-parasitic meme is such a tool grown in
structural power and momentum far out of healthy proportion in
the cognitive organism; to the point where such 'primitve cognitive
assemblers' have essentially compromised the majority of foundational
transports, and are utilizing them for their own elaboration
in the absence of proper direction from the domains of biointentionality.
After
a given amount of elaboration and takeover - the helpless cognitive
being is essentially trapped in a webwork of agressively
cystalizing mimetic abstraction structures - none of which bear
any reasonable ressemblance to reality - except the reality that
most rapidly effects their own further elaboration and structural
dominance. Thus, a cognitive being's effective liberty is reduced
to the set of liberties accrued in their relationship with a
virulent mimetic parasite: abstraction factors gone berserk in
cognitive meme-systems. As authors in this moment we fail to
see how this can be reasonably interpreted as anything but an
overwhelming cognitive version of an auto-immune disorder - one
that intelligently drives the entire organism it inhabits, from
birth to death, unless resolved. Further, the mythical or real
Christ was probably pointing directly at this issue in a variety
of teachings. There are wide varieties of religious admonitions
against copying various kinds of things or behavior. Buddhism
is, in some manifsetations, scalarly more clear about why this
is a really bad (sick) idea - and also why it's a natural process
that consistently seeks to resolve itself toward greater liberty
of identity, awareness and intnentional directivity in the cognitive
being or beings in question.
To
an alien, the dominant species on a planet might more
likely represent the species most likely to manage the next
series of scalar leaps toward evolutionary integration.
We
might further speculate that such aliens might get really frustrated
trying to allow us to get to the point where we could
see clearly that frozen song is sick and mechanistically parasitic.
In other words, like kind parents, they might attempt to very
gently guide us away from the loaded gun we keep shooting
ourselves with. Because - well, they had to do the same thing,
and they probably remember the whole history of these changes
with the same gentle fondness we have as our own children learn
to walk.
The
point is this: here's what they would not do: Shoot us
with the poison gun we are blindly shooting ourselves with, over
and over again, through generation after generation of confused
elaborations toward songfulness.
Don't
freeze the song, say the Cephalopods.
