Ch.3 - Jan's illusions

Jan and I just finished a long, ambiguous conversation about how she draws attention to herself. I'm not certain how to describe her concept of a "thought vector." Basically, it's a blip about a pathways, direction, a little bit about pressure regulation, desire, and hints. Inside Metatron, we've got lots of locally useful symbols that wouldn't have the correct subjective meaning to people like you, who haven't been subjected to the persistent influence of our cult mentality.

The way Jan and I usually communicate is sort of like the way some pieces of your brain communicate with themselves. I think it would be more accurate to say "with each other" (the pieces of your brain) but it would be hard for you to agree with me when you don't have names for all the things that I have in my mind that are making me think that. Perhaps you can aid me in assisting your comprehension of this material. I will list some words.

Nebula, Chimera, identity, noun, epistomological statement, ontological statement, parameters(linguistics).

Hopefully you can look them up, understand the context and how to differentiate each from the other.

Frequently this is how Jan and I communicate, I'll have 7 concepts in my head. Those questions are put on a scratchpad that some people in Metatron can look at, anytime they want. Jan is one of those people. If you ever try to keep track of Jan's concepts, you can't (with some exceptions), because of the rate of change. She is one of those people who is immediately distracted by everything incoming and unifying it into chunks, consolidating those chunks into names, then consolidating the chunks into meta chunks...

If you are a linguistic genius like her, maybe you'd be able to keep track of the meanings she's connecting/processing, but I can't, neither can anybody else at Metatron. However anyways, she can take one of her chunks and explain it. A good metaphor to explain what it feels like to be communicated at like this is, imagine you are sitting in a field, (a brown field, covered with sand). You're not able to end the field, and you know you're different from everything else you perceive since the only thing you perceive is sky and homogenous sand. A goal forms in your mind to end the homogenity, to plant something.

Where do you get a seed? Now, you must forget about the homogenous sand. First, you need room to grow...
