Thanks Alan,

You are certainly welcome to use any ideas you want. I don't seem to have much luck getting them to go viral.

I would say though, that I'm not fond of the degree to which the concept of dimensionality has been applied.

It really is a mapping device for space and as such is about projecting linearly, while the dynamics, the processes giving rise to the patterns, are more like thermodynamic feedback loops.

We are fairly linear, object oriented creatures, so it is quite useful for description, but it obscures explanation.

My own experience of time is more like a kalideoscopic hall of mirrors, than any linear narrative flow and dealing with that has been a big reason why I've given so much thought as to how time functions.

Consider it's not deterministic, if the act of determination can only occur as the present. Potential>actual>residual. Infinite potential. A fraction of which becomes actual and a miniscule of that remains as residual. Trying to frame it as some narrative dimension really doesn't explain much, it just describes the effect.

As for all that goes on under the surface, one aspect I live, but seems un-noticed, is the perception that "floaters" are not just optical imperfections, but other consciousnesses impinging on and flowing through and around my own interface between body and world.

For personal and professional reasons, I tend to live very much in the present. As such I tend to identify with flora, in being rooted and branching out in my own place, rather than some discrete object moving about in it.
