wonder_lyMon, Jul 27, 2009 Thank you Spaceweaver for this fascinating post. The whole idea of mind as an image within an image, that evolves by knowing itself, requires more than a moment to ponder about.
Would like to ask about a certain point: Spaceweaver: "Because both (polytopia and open-ended humanism) explore a novel kind of distinctiveness which is inherently a-territorial and incomplete."
thinking about what territory can be in the mind
- context may be considered a territory of mind, but as i understand it, the model of open-ended humanism is not devoid of contexts, but defines a different manner of emergence of contexts (as described by Spaceweaver):
concept as a process of ever extracting its own context while bringing forth its transitory (persistent momentary) instances.
- i (myself) treat myself as a defined territory within a wider happening, which resides in the center of everything i experience. i have borders, and those borders defines what is in me and outside of me. does a-territorial mean a different kind of self?
What is the meaning of "a-territorial" in this context, and why is it inherent within an open-ended humanism?
