Pattern Activation Thoughts

Seeing the World in Patterns (preface)

NOTE: This is a preface post (formerly called Stub post) which gives an intro on upcoming content.

As I continue to work on the upcoming volume to be published, one of the opening chapters that has emerged concerns seeing the world in…

State of the Field (Static Pattern Engineering)

Work has been progressing on entirely different aspects surrounding static pattern engineering outside the current scope of this site — hence this site hasn’t had much activity. Today, I want to announce the following partner sites, activities…

Reflexive Reactions and Unconditioned Consciousness, Part Two

In order to sense resonance clearly, it is my belief that a mind should be able to achieve a state called Unconditioned Consciousness, if only for a moment (which at times is all that is possible). The conditioning of…

Thingks

David Bohm, in a series of talks (that later became the book Thought as as System) once said that we should delineate between ‘thoughts’ and ‘thinks’. Thoughts are former products of consciousness that are stored in memory and passed around from person to person, while ‘thinks’ are products of consciousness…

Technological Announcements

This post is just about some decisions made about the technological (and publishing) side of work concerning static pattern engineering.

First, I’ve made a decision about publication of the first volume I am working on for static pattern engineering. I…

Transforms and Operators, Part One

Static Pattern Engineering has roots in engineering, chemistry, computer science, and cognitive science. The two most useful and powerful constructs from SPE (and I could argue, in these associated fields) are those of the transform and operator (in order of decreasing…

PatternSmiths, Static Pattern Engineers, and Static Pattern Architects

I honestly believe I will be working on SPE my entire life, and am prepared to do so; however, a life goal of mine (i.e., before I die) is to see the knowledge base of the field (core theory as well as tried…

The source of virtualization

I just read a nice random quotation from David Berlinsky, author of _The Advent of the Algorithm_:

Every computer divides itself into its hardware and its software, the machine host to its algorithm, the human being to his mind. It is hardly surprising…
