Patterns
| 
Jan 29 21:05 UTC 1995 |
Okay consider this, a race course,
in order to fair can only be in a few set patterns,
now the patterns can vary very much when you are running the course
but when you see them from the air the look very similar. Okay with me so
far? So what if you traced every step in your life, in
blue and then from the air took a picture of it. Then say I did the same
in red and we overlayed them, how different do you think they would be?
Now, what if you could do the same thing with your
emotions (and other things) how many overall different patterns do you
think there could be?
I mean after all if (supposidly) there are
only 6 people between me and someone else then it would
seem that my actions affect not just my pattern but the adjoining patterns
as well. Just a thought.

canis...what i think is that what you said probably makes sense to you, but if
you want anyone else to read it and respond, you need to be a little more
clear. i get where you are going, but how does anyone respond to it? I can say,
"that's good...but that's it. help me out...

Are we talking about monadics here?

I think that you would influence other people's patterns just by existing;
that's what existing more or less is, isn't it? But there would be as
many different patterns as there were people.

Graig, what is your point? You are going to have to explain what this
associate to certain subject or topic. Are you talkinin mathmatic, such as
possibility ???

I don't think I'm talking mathematically. Or were you referring to canis?
Anyway. I don't think people are mathematical. They have patterns, but
they aren't really predictable. And I hope they never become so.

Mathematically predictable? Limited. Intuitively predictable? Definitly!

Hmm. I still think that it's fairly limited.
And mathematical predictability isn't much better than educated guessing,
at least on an individual level.

Unfortunatly people aren't leptons, some might actually qualify as baryons
though. But I'm sure you can enlighten me as to how the uncertainty principle
applies to human action, just don't interfere with my DeBroglie wave!!

My existence has indirectly influenced the course of the universe.
You *can* change the world, it's *easy*, you just don't know you're doing it.

My patterns would definitely be the ones that introduce anomalies
into the patterns of others, change their direction and color and
speed and width, tie the damn things into Gordian knots if I feel
the urge...

Consider this...
If your life is merely what happens to you, and your responses to those
events, and if we can only percieve things that happen to us through our
senses and our mind, and all responses originate in the mind, then your life
is just a series of mental states. Since there are a finite number of neurons
in your brain, there is a finite number of possible lives, meaning either
there is a finite number of living beings that can possibly exist, or there
exists a pair of beings living the *exact same life*

4 out of 5 Americans have an exact physical duplicate somewhere on
the planet. <- grepped from a CNN stat!

We may agree to 19, 20.. As far as carson is concerned, carson, tell me
frankly about duplicates on the planet regarding their mental similarities..
i mean thinking way.. would you say mentally all these duplicates are same?

hmmmm this is a very postmodern view... therefore... if all of the patterns
get overlayed into reality and can interweave and link across planes... then
there is a greater need for social consciousness and accountability to other
humans ...no?

Dan, I'm going to have to disagree with you. I agree with the first part of
your paragraph (oh, this is in response to #18, BTW), that 'your life is
merely what happens to you, and your responses to those events', but I can't
go along with the idea that because there are a finite # of mental states
possible, there are at least 2 people living 'exactly the same life.' To say
that somewhere in the universe, at some time, 2 distinct people will live
exactly the same life, seems like saying (to me) that anything is possible.
If you wait long enough, that table will turn into a turnip.
