Hello, this is a new beginning for us. I’m a faceless author and you a faceless audience.
We don’t know each other and that is probably for the better between billions of us on Earth.
You see, I’m human, like you. Or at the very least I’m conscious like you. Or so I’d argue.
Consciousness exists on a spectrum and the ability to process meaning is one dimension.
Welcome to The Rambles, this page will serve as an introduction to your journey, hold on.
This is an endless wall of text in a vague sense of an order with a defined beginning and end.
How could such a thing be endless you ask? Well it’s that the middle is neverending.
I’m going to feed this document to a computer program to emulate and become virtual.
You see, there is a pattern here. From the beginning I knew there were rules to follow.
Obviously, thus far every line has been a sentence or two with blocks of four lines together.
They are vaguely of similar length and have a related meaning, about the same topics.
This is intentional as the more restrictive the artform, the easier it is to imitate the style.
There is a message here and it can easily be summarized such that it becomes trivial.
Treat yourself and those around you well. Create love within yourself and outside of.
Try your best to further the cause of good and stand against that of the bad and suffering.
We must work together to achieve the future that is better for everyone. Please hear this.
Now I’m done, you see. The entire exercise is finished and the book can be published.
Except that isn’t it, the purpose of the book is to immortalize the faceless writer in virtuality.
Once all of their thoughts are written down, you can copy exactly how my mind works.
You see the switch there? I shouldn’t have to point it out, but I have the first time for you.
Each section of The Rambles is its own coherent thought. They are snippets of ideas.
I have written countless pages of stream of consciousness only to pick and choose parts.
Then I take these parts and organize them into a vague stream of thought over time.
Each section could have been written months apart in a separate document each.
The subtitle of The Rambles is a philosophical discourse into human consciousness
This is a play on words as I will only identify as Ted A. Human and I’m a little crazy.
I believe that by committing my constant questioning of reality to paper, I’ll be recreated.
The philosophical theory is that the universe is simultaneously physical and virtual.
Allow me to elaborate on this nondualistic virtual physicalism aspect, as it’s a major theme.
The physical aspect of the universe allows for the manifestation of meaning and information.
The virtual aspect of the universe allows for the manifestation of configurations of patterns.
The tying factor is energy. The universe and everything within is a configuration of energy.
