NOTE: 👆AUDIO ABOVE is full length👆 Hi peeps, I got inspired so this article is a bit long yet juicy here a preview : Part 1 1. Ontology, Qualia, Semantics, Thoughts & Forms :: These are the threads I’ve been tracing; where language, structure, and the rawness of experience intersect. 2. Disrupting mental flow :: The mind is wired for patterns, but Uranus is here to tear through them. 3.The Nature of [My] Reality :: Reality has always been layered; this is how I’ve learned to read its architecture. 4.The Mirroring of Concepts :: Structure and meaning keep reflecting each other—syntax, semantics, presence—they loop. 5. ALL THAT IS :: Beneath words, beneath measurement, there is the pulse of being. Part 2 6. The Origins :: Every structure, every system, every idea—before all that, there’s source. 7. Machines + Meaning :: The machines can run the code, but they can’t touch what lives beneath it. 8. And what about the markets :: The same patterns play out in price, in speculation, in the nervous system of trade—it’s all part of the architecture cracking open. ENJOY 👇Due to the length of the whole piece, I am dividing the audio in 2 parts:👇 Ontology, Qualia, Semantics, Thoughts & Forms So here I am, finishing some images for a commission that is about to wrap in San Antonio, Texas, before I send them to the fabricator and get approval from the committee. And posting some documentation below of my latest public art commission, Arcana , for the IEB at the University of Washington in Seattle. I’m always very curious to see what other thing I’m going to get into, what I’m going to be reading, what is going to flow next, where my frequency is tuning into. Let’s say I became aware of the work of Federico Faggin a couple of years ago, but it was only in the last months that I became really curious; his book Irreducible came out, and I finally had the time to listen to it, in Italian. He’s an Italian physicist who has been living in the United States for decades now. I speak Italian fluently. I also got a copy in English, just in case. But the Italian version stayed with me; there’s a depth in that language that never leaves you. We owe that to Dante. He gave us the Italian language we know now; he decentralized language when he wrote the Divine Comedy . He made it vulgar; he wrote it for the people. (Vulgar comes from the Latin vulgaris; it means common, of the people, spoken by everyone.) The way Faggin writes and the way he speaks is so profoundly complex; simple in expression; beautiful in its own rhythm. Disrupting mental flow Uranus in Gemini will disrupt and crack open the structures of thought, language, symbols; the very scaffolding of mental patterns. Gemini is the archetype of duality, of words, of coding, the left side of the brain, the nervous system of ideas. Uranus severs outdated patterns; liberates the mental field; forces a leap beyond habitual thought forms. Uranus in Gemini is going to be destabilizing the calcified framework of the mind, because Faggin reminds us that semantics and Qualia ; the felt, the living layer; cannot be programmed. And the true liberation of thought is not more code; it is returning to consciousness as the source. Uranus as a high octave of Mercury works as the breaking point where thought itself gives way. Mercury governs language and logic, the structure of ideas. Jupiter expands that into meaning, into philosophy, into intuitive understanding. But Uranus arrives beyond both, disrupting and barely expanding it. It cuts through the architecture, shattering outdated narratives, jolting us beyond the framework of language and into direct presence. This transit exposes what exists beyond them: the raw, irreducible field of awareness we keep pointing toward. Consciousness cannot be reduced to the manipulation of symbols. It is the irreducible foundation from which meaning arises. ~Federico Faggin, Irreducible Federico’s work is the perfect companion to this transit, because he reminds us that the mind, the code, the language, is just the downstream of consciousness. Consciousness is the base; we cannot reduce it to anything else. As Uranus disrupts, it will be inviting us to return to the well: to the raw, essential field of experience from which language emerges. Consciousness is the essential ground from which mathematics stems. Mathematics is a product of conscious beings exploring the patterns and relationships of the world; it does not precede or generate consciousness; it is a flowing stream of awareness downloaded. I am paraphrasing what he said in an interview in 2023. In other words, mathematics as code is language; it is reflection; a shadow downstream from the source. The Nature of [My] Reality Plato taught that behind the visible world lies an invisible architecture; the Forms; the essence that shape what we perceive. His Solids were a glimpse into that structure, where geometry became a bridge between matter and meaning. The pyramid, the octahedron, the icosahed
