	Well, after that bombshell shed its last bits of bounds

breaking dipersal of order, we had another round of caparal cigarettes

and coffeeeeeee. Casually, we both agreed that 'logistics' involves the

transfer of information and that 'logistics' generates entropy in

and of itself. For the uninformed ( how quaint ), 'logistics' as we are

using the term refers to transactional accounting analysis of

energy-event exchanges.

	Gradually we grew more serious and both of us began to see

something of real importance beginning to emerge from our speculations.	

I had brought up the topic of man's awareness as regards to the sensory

interface. Each of us is an active thinking individual in a sea of chaos

we call the world or Universe. Our senses are a boundary or interface

with the unknown. What really goes on, on the other side of that wall,

no one really knows (.?) Science describes the world as a multitude of

quantum	events which impinge upon and correlate with our detectors.

Any number of energy-entropy exchanges etc. conspire to produce what we

call sensory input. Its important to note, however, that once these

transactions occur, everything and I mean EVERYTHING, becomes pure and

simply, frequency modulated pulses of nerve signals... i.e. binary

information. A pulse either is or it isn't. Strength or significance

at the nerve level is determined purely by frequency of firing. The

world as we perceive it is quite literally built from ground up. Now,

I admit the number of pulses is downwright astronomical- 
"Mucho	Avagadro"

as Deric says, but still we humans are quite capable of perceiving with

notice a single photon of light. The point is, all we know is constructed

from this chaos of signals traveling at nerve speed towards our brain!

How on earth do we make sense of all this.

	This is where Deric's rap took off, and I began writing furiously,

trying to keep up. The basic premis is that 'awareness' is an active

process. The senses do not idly correlate information as if it comes in

like a ticker tape. No indeed. The drama of sensory interface is a

multi-furcative process which is at essence informational-logistics.	

At the lowest level, these sensory impulses cross-correlate with each other

as multiple cascades of feedback loops. The impulses are superficially

speaking, pure information, but implicate to their processing is a hard-

wired deep logic of geodesic structure. Infra-structures of cell-mediated

energy exchanges and synaptic message boosting, channelize and massage

informational signals in ever more complex patterns. Multiple nested

cascades of feedback loops provide the logistic scafolding whereby the

distinctions between implicate and explicate information merge at some

point. Systems of sufficient logistical complexity display what is called

self-organizing criticality. The crucial trigger that enables emergent

order from chaos is 'syncronicity'. Kind of obvious if you think about it.



 	... and now for my exit fron this strange loop I've been in.
