Now
that our community of intersubjectivity has been prepared by
preliminary off the wall comments, and taking into consideration 1) my
extreme doubt regrading the validity of the notion of
intersubjectivity, and 2) that consciousness cannot be "explained," it
is possible to create a kind of multimedia collage to convey such
abstract points of view as that consciousness-force is matter-spirit
and the behavior of rational mind is an infantile delusion.

Bearing
in mind Hameroff's theory of "objective reduction" in the biological
function of microtubules, and the Gaia hypothesis of the
self-regulatioin of earth systems, then adding to these the physicists'
notion of a superforce (earth acts on itself through gravitational
fields, electrons act on themselves with virtual photons creating an
infinity of feedback loops) we get the picture of an infinitely
self-replicating self-informing, self-conscious universe at every level
of organization. the human eye processes light images and the
brain-mind function produces language in their intercommunication with
the universe at a rate that is the dull mental equivalent of the
self-actuating processes at every other level of temporal being. time
and difference are the essence here, speaking metaphysically, because
each instant of reduplicating energy fields recedes in space-time as it
is replaced by a new version of itself, creating the illusion of the
stability (presence) of form. Aristotle grasped all of this as a
relationship of Form and Matter, mediated by Motion, resulting in the
temporal unfolding of eternal realities exhibiting a world of
intelligence (entelecheia).

Rod,

so I take it that Harpo and Chico are already inside the cube?
