@St_Rev@cathodion@sarahdoingthing I imagine something like Critical Mass or a riot can also egregorize largely speechlessly. -
@othercriteria@cathodion@sarahdoingthing Riots are very simple entities with very short lifespans. -
@othercriteria@cathodion@sarahdoingthing Need more sophisticated codes for both complex behavior and stability. -
@othercriteria@cathodion@sarahdoingthing A thoughtform that invokes/spawns secondary riots as a tool is something v. complex eg Marxism. -
@othercriteria@cathodion@sarahdoingthing Another analogy to throw on the pile here: Conway's Life. Glider gun complexity >>> glider. -
@othercriteria@cathodion@sarahdoingthing Think of humans as the cells, speech as the transition rule... -
@St_Rev@cathodion@sarahdoingthing Taking this chance to flog my weird Life variant, and its egregoric reading. http://mesokurtosis.com/posts/2015-02-19-lif.html … -
@St_Rev@cathodion@sarahdoingthing Humans are cells, speech conveys rules, complex rules lose to simple ones, empty humans get susceptible. - 11 more replies

@cathodion@sarahdoingthing that is: there's no metaphysically existing, otherwhere 'astral', or at least it is not necessary to posit any. -
@cathodion@sarahdoingthing rather, we are speaking of emergent phenomena within networks of speech, i.e. entrained human brains. -
@cathodion@sarahdoingthing brains are beyond our ability to understand fully (can't fit a box inside itself), networks of them more so

@St_Rev@cathodion@sarahdoingthing Don't need speech per se. Symphony orchestras can enact/embody them reliably and safely. -
@othercriteria@cathodion@sarahdoingthing Music is a very strange phenomenon, and breaks a lot of rules. But orchestras don't invade Poland -
@St_Rev@othercriteria@cathodion@sarahdoingthing orchestras can make invading Poland seem like a good idea, tho -
@St_Rev@othercriteria@cathodion@sarahdoingthing music (or functional equivalent) isn't sufficient but may be necessary in some instances -
@schakalsynthetc@St_Rev@cathodion@sarahdoingthing Just noticing the commonality of rhythm in my non-speech examples. -
@othercriteria@St_Rev@cathodion@sarahdoingthing periodic phenomena, i.e. signal -
@schakalsynthetc@St_Rev@cathodion@sarahdoingthing Don't know if the signal has to be periodic/rhythmic, but the carrier tends to be? -
@othercriteria@schakalsynthetc@sarahdoingthing Periodic signals are very easy to coordinate on, bc psychophysics - 6 more replies
