Polytopia- The WHY ? (part 2)
Project: Polytopia

Since the Cybersphere is the direct continuation and evolution of the Biosphere via the technology of the net (itself evolving into the grid*), and since the net is built upon the fluid and highly distributed flow of information of our minds, it stands to reason that our mind states (mind topos- topia) are the fundamental capital upon which a Polytopia is built and from which the Polytopia gains its strength, its creativity and its energy. The transcultural event of the Polytopia is thus based upon the mind of the individual.
That very mind topos, the very state of the mind of the individual is the basis upon which a Polytopia rests.

Because fierce independence avoids group think

Polytopia as a transcultural event represents the actuation of liberty, specifically the freedom to evolve our narratives, freedom is the natural evolutionary state of the higher faculties of the mind. In this respect the higher faculties of the mind I shall define as that which is busy archiving and shaping our narratives. As the net, and soon the grid, represents the manifestation of our archiving ourselves, our minds, it stands to reason to view our actions on the grid as the very act of shaping the infoverse.
When shaping the infoverse we are actually mirroring the landscape of our minds.



Because each and every mind need be a critical evaluator

It is a truism that our lives on the net are a reflection of our minds.
Our minds in this respect can be seen as reflecting our inner landscape.
Our inner landscape in turn, reflects upon itself via memory
Memory is reflected in our archiving our narratives on the net, be it thoughts, ideas, comments, videos, art, poetry or even the particular set of news we collect and archive.
Thus in consequence, archiving our narratives is the method by which we give form and manifest to our inner workings, the process of archiving is not unlike the process of molding clay
Yet what we mould is information, we give it shape, character, identity and finally form.

Because the infoverse reflects our mind landscape




Other be-causes:
1. Because subjectivity is omnipresent
2. Because our visions are stronger than our televisions
3. Because we are not a monument but the dynamics of passion
4. Because we are not our curriculum we are fusion
5. Because harmony is not fixed in its form
6. Because we can upgrade reality
7. Because Intelligence is Autopoeitic
8. Because we can become ecomorphic
