SP is for Steven Pratt: Fly Agaric 23 Networks

HI Everyone.
Over the past week I have been busy correlating and indexing some of my output available on the web. I soon realized that I had not created a single post that provided the new information in a coherent and orderly way. Indexed.

Due to the great new advances in sharing media I can embed some media, music, video and photographs together with my hypertext poetry. Always more than a static book, an interactive network of texts, pictures, sounds and moving images captures life. Sharing experiences building an index network. Love, steve [flyagaric 23 @ GMAIL DOT COM]

BLOGS
Blogspot was the first blog-space that I used while in America, although I only made a handful of posts, many of these freestyle writings went on to formulate the flows of my first book: World Piss' The Spore of the Woids, that last year (2009) morphed into SHANNANIGUMS WAVE. Now available at Lulu, and wordspore.blogspot.

I also blogged over at myspace, (45'000 views) and used to be active over on the saul williams message boards too, posting freestyle feedback early book reviews and music reviews, plus some rambling criticisms of the War on Terror, War on Drugs, American Greed, striving to then provide an equal balance of positive characters who helped us organize and ask intelligent questions.

In retrospect I often set up strawman arguments with my bombastic pronouncements and freestyle outbursts as Acrillic Figa. I was first drawn to that site while living in New Orleans, and posted an important poem, to me, that I called TRANE YOURSELF. And was a homage to John Coltrane, Jazz rhythms and African American culture, the theme's, of early poems crafted in America, New Orleans, New York, the Bay Area and on the road.

ONLYMAYBE
I am honoured to collaborate on a blog with friends, and memebers of the maybelogic academy, and find the IMPERFECT INDEX of ONLYMAYBE, a model for this post. Onlymaybe or maybelogic.blogspot is kept up and running and brimming with content by Bogus Magus, for the most part. Thanks Bogus, and all the contributing artists for continuing their voluntary efforts to keep the RAW web afloat with data and links.

CHU
CHU has been one of my longest standing associates and collaborative friends, and has helped introduce me to much of the UK art scene, under his wing, and kept up his tireless work to free the minds of people, and help us see in new and different ways. We have collaborated on music, and on web blogs for the most part, I also performed at his exhibition parties in both 1999 and 2009. I can't thank the guy enough, so I'll recommend you go visit his web site, shop and vast archives if you want to travel through the world of whom I view as one of the greatest painters in the world.

JOHN SINCLAIR.
John kicks out a torrent of multimedia and shared culture every day, and having the pleasure of having him as a guest here, at my home in Amsterdam, I got caught up in this torrent and have been spinning around trying to keep up with his torrential output that crossed over in our output more recently with collaborative 'live' recordings, radio shows and writing projects. I am eternally grateful for John's patience and kind heartedness in inviting me into his tribe of scholar activism, and joining me and helping me on my own quest. Even editing parts of my book SHANNANIGUMS WAVE. Thanks baby.

MD is for MCLUHAN'S DREAM: A short story

In the process of my study into the tale of the tribe I have began creating fictional episodes that link I fly agaric with some of the corresponding themes and characters.

The following is a short dream sequence:

Having fun creating some fictional episodes (short tales)
That link I fly agaric icons and themes together.

MCLEAR'S DREAM


Mclear’s father drinks some tea from a chalice, and then climbs a ladder set against a house to fetch down a bright green-toad that's stuck up high on the roof, its the pet toad of his cousin, and, while on his way down he slips on a snake masquerading as a step of a ladder, falls, and crushes his head and crushes the toad in the process. Brains, toad slime, jewels merge together at the foot of the ladder and flies appear.

Mclear’s cousin turns into Alice through the looking glass, and shrinks down to the size of a small rodent, she begins munching on Lotus petals that have suddenly sprung up around Mclear's father/mothers corpse. A fly swoons across the body looking for an entry point, the corpse is wearing a white gown and has formed female breasts.

A bomb comes whistling out of the sky, changing into a figure resembling Cuchulain, a giant with twelve arms, each holding an object: A boomerang, a Robert Johnson 78’ disk, a golden jewel encrusted chalice, a smoking pipe styled into the shape of a toad, a totem pole, a telephone receiver/speaker, a small printing press, calendar, Umbrella, TV set and a Video-Camera. The smoking pipe was in the giants mouth and clouds of smoke drifted up and up forming bigger clouds, nebulous, ten miles high or more.

One cloud takes the form of a giant mushroom and descends back to the scene of the accident pitching itself next to the androgynous corpse. The mushroom then morphs again into a small Santa Claus doll that proceeds to administer coca-cola to the corpse, pouring it up the nostrils and letting it fizz all over the face, the body begins to shake.

[A sudden disturbance in the dream sequence, the dreamer has set his alarm-clock one hour too early this morning, but falls back into the tale.]

Mclear’s father/mother corpse, his cousin and himself were now up and bouncing away from the house, jumping on pogo sticks away from where the toad-corpse ooze had released a green fog of flies into the air that set everybody in the village laughing uncontrollably.

Arriving in a wooded area they eventually stop and slump down onto the ground leaning against a birch tree. Suddenly a wheel rolls out into the clearing in front of them, the wheel has a golden apple lodged inside its hollow. Then, as Mclear recalls his dream, ‘we all eat a small piece of the bright green apple and sit back down under the tree again.

In a flash the dreamer has morphed into a Mushroom, stood right in the spot where Mclear once sat. His Father/mother corpse had transformed into a fruit fly and his cousin Mary changed from the image of his grandmother to a toad, who also sits right where she once sat in the wooded clearing.

At this point Mclear describes the sense of an eternity passing, then a jumping muddle of perceptions between the three shape-shifters, triangulated in their sitting positions. The mushroom had only single sight via a tiny periscope inside a white wart, but it released a constant humming sound like a tribal drum in his head when it looked at the fly and the toad looking at back at him.

Suddenly Mclear experienced total ESP with the others, plus he felt a presence coming from the trees and the foliage and the leaves; a low chatter beneath the canopy, they sat motionless, in awe of the infinite stars above them, together in a resonant-field of connection.

In a flash, the fly lands on the mushroom, licks it, and flies off in the direct of the toad, who swiftly snatches the drunken fly out of the air, and swallows it in one gulp. This sequence is seen in slow motion with the silhouette of the action projected by the moonlight.

Cuchulain returns and lands in front of the Toad with a drawn sword and brutally slices it in two. Emeralds and Lapis Lazuli fall-out from the toads head. The fly emerges again from the toads head, shakes, buzzes, flinches a little, staggers up to gather itself and then flies off only a few feet, landing this time on a lotus flower floating upon the pond. The fly is swallowed again by a huge salmon fish, which then in turn is quickly fished out by Cuchulain's fishing rod and set free once more. Cuchulain discovers a golden ring inside the salmon that fits him perfectly.

Ants march into the clearing and gather up the toad-parts mixed with jewels, transporting them back to their nest where together with a mouldy old beetle and a giant snake they rebuild the toad with spittle, venom and fungus.

The toad leaps out of the nest back to the clearing where he spits on the mushroom’s periscopic wart, which transforms the whole mushroom into a massive geodesic object, bejewelled with emerald glow, crystallized and sparkling like Kryptonite.

Cuchulain returned from a gap in a nearby tree trunk, plucked the mushroom from the soil and placed it in his red sack and sprang into the air again with a salmon leap all the way back to the village, where he divided the crystalized green between all the towns people. Everyone got a piece and said a funny prayer, hours later the whole village danced in celebration dressed to look like toads, fly's, snakes and mushrooms.

FINNEGANS WAKE PAGE 10 AND THE NEW HOLOGRAMMIC DECADE

The identity of the opposites, a central theme of Taoist thought, is indicated early in Finnegans Wake. The very first appearance of Shem and Shaun is as "the Hindoo, Shimar Shin," (p.10) a single figure. Through the rest of the book they are split into two figures, but they are constantly changing roles and merging into each other (for instance, in the "Geometry Lesson" chapter, where the Shem-type notes, left side of the page, leap suddenly to the right side, and the Shaun-type notes leap from right to left.) Again, in the Mercius and Justius dispute, Shem and Shaun are picked up at the end and carried off together by ALP. "Sonnies had a scrap," she says with feminine equanimity.

The two philosophers most frequently mentioned in the Wake, Nicholas of Cusa and Bruno of Nola, taught a dialectic of resolution of opposites. Joseph Needham in his monumental Science and Civilization in China, repeatedly mentions both Bruno and Nicholas as the only two Occidental philosophers before Liebnitz to have a basically Taoist outlook. --DR. ROBERT ANTON WILSON, TAO OF JOYCE.

"Callibrating the binary opposition of phonemes, which provided a central insight into the nature of linguistic meaning: meaning inheres not in sounds themselves - "d" and "t," for example - but in the contrast or difference between them, so that we can distinguish "dime" and "time" -- Margot Norris, The decentered universe of Finnegans wake: a structuralist analysis.



FINNEGANS WAKE BY JAMES JOYCE:

Part:1 Episode:1 Page:10

of the lipoleums, Toffeethief, that spy on the Willingdone from
his big white harse, the Capeinhope. Stonewall Willingdone
is an old maxy montrumeny. Lipoleums is nice hung
bushellors. This is hiena hinnessy laughing alout at the
Willingdone. This is lipsyg dooley krieging the funk from the hinnessy.
This is the hinndoo Shimar Shin between the dooley boy and the
hinnessy. Tip. This is the wixy old Willingdone picket up the
half of the threefoiled hat of lipoleums fromoud of the bluddle
filth. This is the hinndoo waxing ranjymad for a bombshoob.
This is the Willingdone hanking the half of the hat of lipoleums
up the tail on the buckside of his big white harse. Tip. That was
the last joke of Willingdone. Hit, hit, hit! This is the same white
harse of the Willingdone, Culpenhelp, waggling his tailoscrupp
with the half of a hat of lipoleums to insoult on the hinndoo
seeboy. Hney, hney, hney! (Bullsrag! Foul!) This is the seeboy,
madrashattaras, upjump and pumpim, cry to the Willingdone:
Ap Pukkaru! Pukka Yurap! This is the Willingdone, bornstable
ghentleman, tinders his maxbotch to the cursigan Shimar Shin.
Basucker youstead! This is the dooforhim seeboy blow the whole
of the half of the hat of lipoleums off of the top of the tail on the
back of his big wide harse. Tip (Bullseye! Game!) How
Copenhagen ended. This way the museyroom. Mind your boots goan
out.
Phew!
-JAMES JOYCE, FINNEGANS WAKE, PAGE 10.


"Race is the primary site of this account of the Wake, with race discourse, especially in its ‘scientific’ forms, featuring largely. Such an emphasis requires some explanation because although race is a familiar enough concern of Joyce studies, especially since Vincent Cheng’s landmark reading, Joyce, Race and Empire (1995), it is usually worked differently. Most typically it figures in the context of Irish history and postcolonial critical traditions. Here race is often understood in terms of the Derridean binary where the imperial Self becomes conditioned against the colonial Other and vice versa. --http://assets.cambridge.org/97805218/68846/excerpt/9780521868846_excerpt.htm

James Joyce and victims: reading the logic of exclusion
By Sean P. Murphy



"In 1937, Claude Shannon produced his master's thesis at MIT that implemented Boolean algebra and binary arithmetic using electronic relays and switches for the first time in history. Entitled A Symbolic Analysis of Relay and Switching Circuits, Shannon's thesis essentially founded practical digital circuit design. --http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_numeral_system

What a warm time we were in there but how keling is here the

The mirror and the killer-queen: otherness in literary language
By Gabriele Schwab



"There is clear relevance between all these notions, and they all contribute to our understanding of socio-economic change. The Adamses on migration and acceleration, Douglas on increment of association, Korzybski on “time-binding,” Fuller on synergy, Schrödinger on life as an anti-entropic process, Shannon and Weiner on information as negative entropy, and Leary on neuro-genetics, all illustrate part of what we mean by Information Increase. --Robert Anton Wilson, Human Intelligence Increase.

Due to finishing off my Novel that includes the members of RAW’s tale of the tribe scenario Universe, I can’t help but notice that many ideas surrounding the 2012 phenomena – geological phenomena, meteorite strikes, time and calendars, Prophecy, precognition and paranormal phenomena, historicism, cosmology, anthropology and strange alternative ideas to rock the mainstream opinion and poke at the standard model – are treated in a most scientific and rational but far from – dry – manner by RAW. And that’s not news, but I wanted to mention Giambattista Vico in particular – and by default Joyce – due to their correspondence with the principles of world ages – shifting ages – cyclical ages. Here, I guess, might be a good place to start a cross-cultural interdisciplinary study into the 2012 phenomena using Vico, Joyce, McLuhan and Dr. Wilson as quality critters, or guides to processing Maya world ages, the five ages of ancient Greece, Biblical ages, Hindu world age doctrine (Feat. Michael Cremo!), Blavatsky’s Secret Doctrine – World Ages. Bobby has already covered some of this ground too, with his work on McLuhan, Vico, Joyce and RAW. --Steve Fly, Maybelogic Academy Post, 2008.
Joyce's Finnegans Wake: The Curse of Kabbalah
By John P. Anderson

HIDDEN VARIABLES OF THE BINARY DATE 100110

10/01/10 = 38 in Binary Calculation
11/01/10 = 54.

"The Hebrew language uses its letters to represent numbers. The first nine letters represent the numbers I to 9 respectively; the next 10 letters represent the numbers 10, 20... to 90; and the next four represent 100 to 400. --http://www.thelemapedia.org/index.php/Qabalah

But, what does that mean?
Shannon and Wiener on a trip to China to discover the
Binary arithmetic of the King Wen sequence of the
3-bit, 6 bit, 8 bit, 64 bit I-Ching.

Binary coded dates like today 100110 are increasing
In frequency in the 2010-2011 years on planet earth.

Boolean Algebra vs. Binary arithemetic
Korzybski, Burroughs and Claude shannon?
Digital circuits, electronic switching?
Switching genes "ON" and "OFF" and...

Two values, two symbols, Joyce/Pound, TV/Internet
Joyce shouting on page 10 of ‘Our Pigeons pair are flown for northciffs’
Finnegans Wake as the Binary ‘On-Off’ pool of genes, atoms, bits
And synchronicity.

Page 10 is a binary code. New decede 2010
Awake to Boolean Algebra and binary arithemetic
To Von Neumann, Wiener, Shannon, Bohr and
William Rown Hamilton - Fourier, quarternion
1,2,3 get loose now.
Hologrammic Prose Scala Weapons. READ THEM!
Haha, POP Awake!
A Toast!

Joyce and popular culture
By R. B. Kershner



Any dozen words from the wake can
Concentrate a beam of Irish stew that taste
Reminiscent of the alpha-omega point 2012
The Twelve are 12 words,

Synchronicity to stop the infinite flux
Temporarily and demand feedback
Prose to arrest the reader into hyperspace
With such truth and radiant beauty of the felt presence
Of knowing neuro-gas where and whatnot abouts?

Sideway synchrony through gap junctions,
Correlation with gamma
Whitehead occation of experience
conscious pilot mdel
Light – bioluminescence
Self-assembling microtubules
Fullerines - as architecture

And if knowledge be rented, who should pay the rent
on that knowledge? Ambiguity
Digital inquisition gathering up dust after Millennium battle,
Freedom of Information, homeland security, war on terror,
Crash, murder, and the greatest machine in the world.

Switching channels between the ages,
The aboriginal electric tribes switch genes off,
And “on” at will,
Meta-programming youth rewrite
Billions of sharing revolutionaries building the
Transcendental blogjects at the end of time.

As Einstein and Edison, and as McLuhan, Bruno, Vico, Joyce,
Yes,
Billions of revolutionaries are now
Building knowledge bases and places, verses and curses
Networks, games and flames, meeting places and spaces
For facts and experience to meet and greet.
Turning “on” genes, bits and atoms and ifs?

Correlation without connection
No longer confined to the fringe theory of
Non-local physics - not just Schroedinger in 2010!
Everyone can experience the infinite flux of being
And feedback the synchronistic intersection points

READING POINTS
For an infinitely conscious super-computer
Somewhere in the future, a PKD divine thesis/exigesis
A point, a “stop” point that each of us, optimistically thinking,
Creative awakening to the group-mind
Over-matrix thingybob. Yeah.

With connections come cons...
More synchronicities, choices, changes, will you...
Drive the cosmic consciousness industry
Upside down and inside out,
Paranormal overdrive.

Aristotelian binary virus looking for a port in,
Burroughs’ own ethics of writing as a weapon of
Unknowing rather than a panacea of received wisdom.'

A shift of viewpoint,
Change of channel,
An extension of consciousness beyond ordinary experience”
No experts in the realm of the imagination

Orgy of sharing. Bioports and sensory stimulation.
Megatrends – Dark side of moon, dollar death, marijuana.
Things and thoughts
sharing things as cultural behaviour?

Subjects without selves: transitional texts in modern fiction
By Gabriele Schwab



sharing thoughts, evolutionary program (The magical grimoire)
Who's going to give you a bigger audience.
Who else will enjoy the moment of discovery.

wisdom of crowds – network intelligence
Cycling on Ice high on haze in Amsterdam.
“Facts need to be put into practice before they can be
Transformed into knowledge,
Kids achieving hyperconnectivity
Sharing joints

Self distribution of media
Novelty conserving HIVE mind negentropy trippy surprises
Information = surprise. Fortean phemonena
Hic ups
Wikipedia as the cultural object McKenna called:
Transdimensional object at the end of time.

What might Terence Mckenna say?
Document the process.
Make it replicable.
Sharing of culture and sharing of knowledge.
Yeah, I want to share everything, but...

Writing against the family: gender in Lawrence and Joyce
By Cynthia Lewiecki-Wilson



What about that dude sitting at the bar. Oh, r'
What about him? What about the camera over there
Fixed into the ceiling, the sensors in the air
Thought police at the airport.

I want to share the keys to the cosmos, but, what if
God sees us? Where is he now. Share this shhhh.
Spare this clause, the point that I want to share
But...but my mum and my dad, what will they say
Will I be grounded by them, or arrested
By the other police force, tracking, snapping pics
And making notes. No, No I am not paranoid,
I am telenoid. Like Allen Ginsberg.

We turn fear to love on the natch.
But sharing such optimism might bring the heat,
Like dancing and painting and playing music
In the desolate city street. Yeah,
Lets share everything, OK,
Or, lets share something, most things, other peoples stuff
And some of our own stuff too, carefully balanced.

But, on the other hand,
What about the police and my criminal record,
What about the private police DNA database and the DMCA rules
And the private regulators tracking my internet activity.
What about the war on some drugs
The war on some terror?

I am flip flopping in verse to share
The curse of sharing, the curse of knowledge
But a curse that we must accept and embrace,
What is life without shared experience?
Isolation, lonelyness and atropy?
Language vs. the equation.

FINNEGANS WAKE: THE MOVIE (1966)

This movie was shared over at the maybelogic blog, thanks to Bobby. It sparked a flurry of visions. I thought of BOB. He would have loved this movie, I think. I find the TV scenes and treatment of the multi-media mixture of signals, more generally, mind blowing.

""A half-forgotten, half-legendary pioneer in American abstract and animated filmmaking, Mary Ellen Bute, late in her career as an artist, created this adaptation of James Joyce, her only feature. In the transformation from Joyce's polyglot prose to the necessarily concrete imagery of actors and sets, Passages discovers a truly oneiric film style, a weirdly post-New Wave rediscovery of Surrealism, and in her panoply of allusion - 1950s dance crazes, atomic weaponry, ICBMs, and television all make appearances - she finds a cinematic approximation of the novel's nearly impenetrable vertically compressed structure.

With Passages from Finnegans Wake Bute was the first to adapt a work of James Joyce to film and was honored for this project at the Cannes Film Festival in 1965 as best debut."

RATIONAL SCALE FOR HUMAN CONSCIOUSNESS?



So called "Rational scale to access the harm of (some) drugs"


Dr. John Lilly
worked on creating a rational-scale to help good scientific research into drug induced states of consciousness, and other means of attaining altered-states of consciousness. Dr. Timothy Leary also worked his entire life to try to establish a RATIONAL-SCALE to help research into the last frontier of inner-space, consciousness. His results include the 8 Dimensional Model of consciousness, co-created and refined with Dr. Robert Anton Wilson.

Although the following graph-scale (tool) for scientific study into the harm of drugs and the potential for misuse, its my feeling that maybe even David Nutt - the UK's disgraced independent drug researcher - seems stale, when compared with the likes of Lilly, Wilson and Leary who, I think, are the big three tenors of scientific research and experimental feedback upon altered states, and the impact on individuals and society of neurological relativism.

Three texts I would present as examples of superior research and communication concerning "consciousness research" and writing and thinking about "drugs", are:
Programming and Metaprogramming the Human-Bio Computer by John Lilly M.D
Sex, Drugs And Magik by Dr. Robert Anton Wilson


The Politics of Ecstasy by Dr. Timothy Leary.

Development of a rational scale to assess the harm of drugs of potential misuse

Prof. David Nutt FMedSci a Corresponding Author Email Address, Leslie A King PhD b, William Saulsbury MA c, Prof Colin Blakemore FRS d e
Summary
Drug misuse and abuse are major health problems. Harmful drugs are regulated according to classification systems that purport to relate to the harms and risks of each drug. However, the methodology and processes underlying classification systems are generally neither specified nor transparent, which reduces confidence in their accuracy and undermines health education messages. We developed and explored the feasibility of the use of a nine-category matrix of harm, with an expert delphic procedure, to assess the harms of a range of illicit drugs in an evidence-based fashion. We also included five legal drugs of misuse (alcohol, khat, solvents, alkyl nitrites, and tobacco) and one that has since been classified (ketamine) for reference. The process proved practicable, and yielded roughly similar scores and rankings of drug harm when used by two separate groups of experts. The ranking of drugs produced by our assessment of harm differed from those used by current regulatory systems. Our methodology offers a systematic framework and process that could be used by national and international regulatory bodies to assess the harm of current and future drugs of abuse. --http://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140673607604644/abstract

KNU Fungus Discovered!

Who knows what we might discover next week? or what we overlooked last week?

--Steve fly agaric 23


"Other similar species
Sarah added that the fungus' true identity had been shielded because there were other similar varieties but with different colour patterns. The secret, she said, finally came out when scientists at Cardiff University isolated the fungus' DNA and found it to be unique. --http://www.wildlifeextra.com/go/news/new-forest-fungus.html#cr

"ScienceDaily (Oct. 5, 2009) — Seven new glow-in-the-dark mushroom species have been discovered, increasing the number of known luminescent fungi species from 64 to 71. Reported in the journal Mycologia, the new finds include two new species named after movements in Mozart's Requiem. The discoveries also shed light on the evolution of luminescence, adding to the number of known lineages in the fungi 'family tree' where luminescence has been reported. --http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/10/091005123045.htm

"ScienceDaily (Dec. 22, 2009) — Giant rainforest trees, rare and beautiful orchids, spectacular palms, minute fungi, wild coffees and an ancient aquatic plant are among more than 250 new plant and fungi species discovered and described by botanists from the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew in this, the botanical organisation's 250th anniversary year. The new species come from a wide-range of fascinating locations including Brazil, Cameroon, East Africa, Madagascar, Borneo and New Guinea. Nearly a third are believed to be in danger of extinction. --http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/12/091222104903.htm

"A new species of rust fungus, Maravalia perae on Pera sp. (Euphorbiaceae), from Brazil is proposed. Spermogonia are type 5 and aeciospores and urediniospores are asymetrically obovoid to ellipsoid, with a concave side and 3(–4) equatorial germ pores. Teliospore walls are 2–5 µm thick at apex around the apical germ pore. This set of characters differentiates M. perae from other species of Maravalia. A revised key to all known Maravalia species, including the newly discribed species, is provided.

Key words: Euphorbiaceae, pathogen, rust fungi, Uredinales --http://www.mycologia.org/cgi/content/abstract/101/2/239
