Aye! I just detoured this way out of light curiosity sparked by talk of The Matrix in 2026. Achah?? Best commentary I've read - biased in so far as being on count of matching my internal own, but yes, and....i know its a crowded cliche..but, timing. I was just casually reading a kind of myth-poetic passage on Pythagoras this morning - yesterday, and struck briefly dumb by description of the 'river of number' 'lightning flash' seed-experience for all his subsequent activity. So far as one could say then, would appear bizarrely consistent since C6th b.c at least - though in alignment with your comment on the failure of representation, resonant more by suggestive, precise essential features and affect than literal or full description. Very curious, nicely written also btw.

nice one! glad you enjoyed the piece. gotta love those synchronicities. there might be a Part 3 on the way too, keep an eye out for that.
Will be doing that..just opened part 1 to see myth as truer-than-true, excellent stuff.
