Bivalent Machines v. Trivalent Will

The problem with digital, bivalent machines (gland ruled Progs) is that you can never satisfy them. The more a person identifies with being nothing more than a pleasure-seeking machine, the more he demands and asserts entitlements. No cleverness in making machines upon machines to serve his expanding appetites can ever fill the hole that holds him. For a person who believes his dignity and identity are confined to nothing more than the perimeter of his material body, you can never satisfy him merely by feeding and filling him with stuff. The more material efficiencies you devise, the more he craves. The more complex machines you build, the more complexities are needed to sustain his civilization. The more complex a governmentally machined civilization becomes, the more stifling its bureaucracy needs to be made, and the more the infirm and unconnected must be disposed of or left behind.
.
Have machines, in themselves, really made our lives more fulfilling? When we look to nothing more than machines to fulfil us, can we ever be at peace? The more the capacity for machine work, the more the makework that we require. As machine efficiency rises, so also rise dependency, sloth, and addiction. As machines, we make our health, safety, entertainment, and preservation into unfillable holes.
.
To make machines for our convenience, many among us are conditioned to think like machines, to aspire to be machines, to stay within if-then algorithmic functions, to be oiled as machines, to worship the cosmos as nothing more than a machine, composed of nothing more than particles that have been pre-vectored outward within a finite, expanding bubble from a singularly-departed meta-machine. The expansion continuously rockets or falls towards and into nothing more than an unbounded hole in infinity. The expansion of space can never fill space. The more clever our machinations, the deeper the hole that appears before us.
.
What if the reality of all this measurable matter and substance that recedes before us signifies no-basis-in-itself, but only signifies ways for us to relate to an Immeasurable Qualitative? In that case, futility would abide in efforts to fill the receding delusion with if-then machinations, while reality, and perhaps peace of mind, would abide with qualitatively and analogically appreciating its Immeasurable Signifier.

IS QUALITATIVE TRIVALENCE ONLY AN ILLUSION:
.
The System's establishment of if-then algorithmic functions conserves and rules our shared cone of measurable cosmic experience and avails our interpretations of space-time chronologies of sequential delays and separations in causal distances. So, then, are there only layers and levels of reconciling, pre-determined, IF-THEN SEQUENCES OF BIVALENCE? May qualitative trivalence be only a delusion, secondary to weighting of if-then, digitized operations on feedback? May the ADDITION of levels of complexity fully account for all increasing of parameters for possibilities? May nothing more than dumb, bivalent machination, by itself, account for all the complexities of Beingness?
.
Well, ADDITIONS OF COMPLEXITIES still begs questions: Why should such additions be made, by whom, and by what agency? After all, doesn't the Second Law of Thermodynamics call generally for subtractions in complexities, rather than additions? So, no, complexity in itself does not account. Nor does arbitrarily assuming complexities upon complexities, i.e., parallel universes upon parallel universes.
.
To the mix, there must be added a NON-BIVALENT (TRIVALENT) VECTOR, i.e., a meta-force-energy, an instantaneous-perpetual, established by the establisher of NATURE'S LAW, which establishes no choice for every organism but to facilitate choices. This vector seems never to tire or dissipate. Moreover, each if-then sequence has been made potentially subject to random encounters for being aborted, hijacked, transmogrified, mutated. Such CHAOS may affect even some phases of laws otherwise thought to be part of the foundation of Nature's Laws. Indeterminate chaotic complexity is also introduced as levels of interdependent COMPLEXITY send each choice along unfoldments, which may vary markedly from what they otherwise would have been but for the leveraging of COMPLEXITY. Thus, a Meta-Vector, Nature, Chaos, and Complexity all align to alter expectations and pre-determinations, to alter "choices" by segmenting, delaying, and shuffling if-then sequences. Thus, the Determination of each unfolding is subject to trivalent influences of perspective, context, and purpose, as well as to trivalent influences of foundational Natural Law, Chaotic Randomness, and Indeterminate Complexity.
.
QUALITATIVE: Thus, mere machination via bivalent, if-then logic cannot fully account for the unfolding of Beingness.
.
QUANTITATIVE: Bivalent machinaton does, however, account for how the quantiative aspects of the unfolding are signified to empirically replicable measurement.
.
IS THE QUALITATIVENESS OF CONSCIOUS ABSTRACTION ONLY AN ILLUSION:
.
Does abstract capacity to mirror-represent-imagine trends and possibilities and desires depend only on if-then organizations of complexity? No, I think relational-representational modeling is INHERENT to the adoption of any particular perspective within an apparently shared cone of the cosmos. I think layers and levels of representations of representations of representations, of abstract modelings of modelings of modelings, of potential for imaging and imagining possibilities, are inherent to Holistic Beingness and emergingly inherent to Perspectivistic Beingness. There abides a Conserving Meta Vector, which records, stores, condition, and bonds with fields and particulars of unfolding, bivalent information and machined signification. Somehow, IT temporally bonds to participate in appreciating and directing choices from spatial vantages of adopted local avatar.

In 1967, I think in April, I saw something that has never been accounted for to my satisfaction. I was sitting outside my folks' home in a village near Tilden Lake, Ontario, Canada, when my attention seemed to be drawn to two bright, stationary stars. I knew very little of astronomy, but I gazed fixedly at the stars for I am sure several minutes. (I watched long enough to try to test whether my eyes were playing tricks.) It seemed the lights began to wobble, which I attributed to some kind of effect from prolonged staring or from atmospheric interference (in Tilden Lake, Ontario?). Otherwise, they looked like ordinary, bright stars in the clear Canadian night, relatively fixed in respect of background stars. Then they clearly started a kind of dance, coming together and going apart. This went on as a series, for perhaps a minute. Frankly, it startled me, so I hollered at my folks to come and look. (They thought I was joking. Since then, I have reminded them of this on multiple occasions.) Then, one "star" took a course in one direction across the entire horizon of the night sky, the other an alternate course. (Were there any jets that refueled one another in 1967? While doing so, would they remain stationary against a background? Were there satellite docking exercises, pre-1969 moon landing? I don't know.) Both "stars" went out of sight across the horizon by covering a very wide realm across the night sky, across a distance that seemed longer and over a period of time that seemed far shorter than for any conrail I had ever seen. (BTW, there was no conrail. It was night, but the sky remained crystal clear.) I never heard an explanation that seemed adequate, and I have never seen the like again. For many years thereafter, I would gaze at night skies to look for a repeat, and never found one. For the past 30 years, I have lived in urban areas, so the night sky is far less visible and I have quit looking.
