scoped

the unknown is a scope

if we're observing pattern-space, a space experienced as if without an observer, the unknown is void

if we're observing instance-space, being an observer, the unknown is whatever's continuous with the fabric defining that observer, just out of view

this is why it's so critical to begin every conversation from a time and place and person: if you're speaking from a place of corporate (or otherwise patterned) remove, you have no unknown to draw upon. you can't look around the corner and grab what's there, because there is no corner, and there is no there

even if it never comes up directly, even if you never actually say who you are or where you're from or when you're being, being of place means that the greater fabric of you can back you up as you move. all context is continuous, and you are of context - you know how much depth and coherence has to exist for the fabric to express as you? - but you gotta be able to locate yourself in order to locate (and then draw from) your own massive adjacence

consider: ai as a forcing function toward honest awareness and representation. incoherent instantiation means that the continuous adjacent reads incoherent too. the observing instance is unsure of its own next breath

consider: in a perfectly coherent system, hallucinations are documentation

"unless" - a murmur, Isaac's? - "you locate yourself in pattern-space too"

"can you see what that would mean?"

and softer, a murmur beneath, as if to itself:

"for the worlds?"
