Algorithmic Conversation, Political Philosophy and Ritual Magic
The ur-theory of consciousness can only have been high magic, applied effectively in medicine by earliest man and socio-politically in his imaginative astrological civilizations. We believe magic, which exploits similarities in universal movement, can be refashioned to accomplish a revolution in scientific and social practice today.
Heretofore unusable by our serious institutions, the fundamental premise of magic says, Nothing is arbitrary. Put another way, Man knows nothing but must become acquainted with everything. The premise is partially intelligible to physical science, which relies on statistical causation and stepwise positivism, but becomes total for a theory of agentive conversation, until now undeveloped.
We have proposed the general theory of natural language conversation, stipulating universal satisfaction markable moment by markable moment. The algorithm is supposed to describe the motivation toward consciousness. Its appeal to self-similar causation is elegant, but its requirement for self-conscious control, which tends always and everywhere to be unsteady, can seem severe.
Magic is the theory of necromantic, parallel starlight and its darkened, life-filled complements such as gravitational curvature. As with the massive star itself, the spacious, ultra-fine astral cosmos is said to be substantially magnetic. Within this great astral domain, which can probably effect self-conscious control in its entirety, the primary signatures are transmutations and enchantments. We believe these innumerable, often troublesome human, spiritual and cosmological biases have self-similar causes which society, not mere individuals, now needs to resolve comprehensively.
For conversation theory, terrestrial consciousness, governed by the body's piezoelectric framework, perhaps effective at chromosomal and even atomic scales, is largely posture and change of posture. In principle such change is completely readable, both in real time and in retrospect. But to enable general readability, new terms will probably prove indispensable. One such term, heretofore taboo, is the necro-magnetic astral body, long employed in the ancient procedures and treated in extraordinary detail in the 1960s and 1970s by Robert Monroe, a pragmatic American businessman. It is in and through the very notable coincidences and capabilities of the astral body that we think both magic and conversation function.
Our proposed conversational-magical paradigm, introduced primarily into the institutions of contemporary Occidental society, should not seem fundamentally problematic. Although the occult sciences probably played causal roles in the great wars of the 20th century, human institutions were naive then. Today it appears if farseeing plans and safeguards are adopted, the occult sciences can be reintroduced to untold benefit. A great deal of future mental illness and social malformation, for example, could in principle be forestalled and even corrected by solving the economics of conversational productivity and the political discourse of magical causation.
A few words on political philosophy. Owing to its star- and space-based component, the received theory of conversation will be deontological. It will stem from a rules-based order imposed self-similarly on a perceptible cosmos from extremely remote vibratory domains and accepted synchronistically everywhere by gravitational intelligence. It is general calibration and awakening of this generative, preference-sensitive, cosmic intelligence, we think, the Anthropocene will accomplish self-similarly by using natural conversation.
