  • An Agentist Approach to Divinity

    by Ferdinand Pizarro I lend a quasi-religious interpretation to information (order), but I tend to have a more agentist approach to my conception of “god” and/or divinity, which has the effect of providing sufficient interface for approximation of godliness. In other words, I don’t see information as god, but the net production of information (dissipation of entropy) as godliness. Thus those of us who can organize man & matter for the production of order (social, material, aesthetic) are “divine” so-to-speak. Tough subject. I always “feel” a sort of energy from within, a youthful spring, when I contemplate it, and I do so often. I found this in my notes from 2017, which you may clear up some of my hazy thinking by example:

    “The speakers of lies, subverters of truth, producers of confusion, the underminers of trust, the agents of chaos; the primordial enemies of human agency, excellence, beauty & the order that we, The Truthful Ones, impose on the Cosmos by incremental mastery over self, entropy & the human condition—the enemy for short.”

    This is essentially the only way I’ve found to speak about gods without lying.

  • Scale of Demonstrated and Permitted Agency

    by Ferdinand Pisaro 

    Scale of Demonstrated [& Permitted] Agency*
    |———————------------—>|(+)
    (5).(4).(3).(2).(1).(0)
    ... ... ... ... ... (0) Sovereign (Aristocracy)(Peerage)
    ... ... ... ... (1) Vassal (Nobility)
    ... ... ... (2) Tradesman (Burgher) 
    ... ... (3) Craftsman (Freeman) 
    ... (4) Laborer (Serf)
    (5) Dependent (Slave)

    *With an increase in agency (demonstrated by the scale that an agent can act in) an agent rises through the spectrum of classes. And as an agent gains status the scope of his action increases because he has demonstrated to his peers that he posses the agency to act at his respective scale without producing negative externalities.SELF-DEFENSE Retaliation against impositions upon that in which an agent has invested (paid a cost). As an agent rises in the spectrum of demonstrated-agency, the portfolio of his property increases, and so to the permitted defense he can field. The cost of Peerage/Sovereignty is paid by a deposit of violence and the granting of reciprocal insurance against impositions of cost upon property-en-toto. Complete-Peerage requires perfect reciprocity, including the requirement for symmetrical information. Thus dispute-resolution between peers requires warrantied, truthful testimony—that is, decidability in dispute resolution amongst peers requires the construction of judicial defense. Aristocracy limits the self-defense of non and semi-peers to the scale merited by the agent’s respective scope of action and thus property. Thusly, just an agent moves from:

    slave > serf >freeman > burgher > vassal > sovereign 

    …he is permitted to engage in self-defense from:

    none > body > body & parcel (home)> body & productive capital > 
    body & territorial capital (fiefdom) > body & polity.

    And as we decrease in scale, legal decidability is provided by the proportional immediacy of the risk/treat/cost posed to body & property. Extending beyond one’s permission to defend property in a manner proportional to scale is met with (judicial) retaliation. So those granted limited self-defense, by permission of the sovereign, must do so under the conditions deemed appropriate by the sovereign. And since retaliation-cycles decrease the value of the sovereigns holdings, the sovereign has an incentive to suppress the cost imposed on his holdings by requiring that disputes be settled by jurors (peers) & judge.

  • The Rules of Consciousness

    The Rules of Consciousness

    Whereas 1. Our attention rotates in a competition between sensation(observation and construction by prediction and reward identification), imagination (possibility by association), holding attention on a goal (possibility by continuous opportunity seizure), and releasing predicted actions (in pursuit of the goal). Whereas 2. We rotate between sensation (observation and construction by prediction), anticipating (goal prediction), and storing (remembering by stimulating and rehearsing), on a 1/10th of a second rotation (Theta) creating competition and choice. And Whereas 3. There is no observer, other than memory of an observation. 4. There are no observations other than sequences. 5. There is no comparison of observations other than to previous sequences. 6. There is no order in sequences other than that created by sequences. 7. There are no sequences other than those of sensations. 8. There is no existence sensed, other than those changes in time. 9. Without change we cannot sense time. Therefore Existence is a verb Experience is a verb Imagination is a verb Consciousness is a verb. Because Acting is a verb – and we can only act in time. And Therefore Without action, we produce no existence, no experience, no sequence, no memory, no consciousness. And Therefore There is no observer other than the observations (hierarchy of increasing of sequences of memories in time. And Therefore We see what the camera sees. We do not record images, but sequences of related stimuli. “I Am, Meaning, I Exist As, the Hierarchy of My Memory in Motion”
