C-227. Our other universe

We missed a Tell. Having had it discovered and reported that “the universe is expanding and will not contract,” we then missed the Tell. Because of B-ness of mind and B-speak of language.

The Expansion is fact. The “universe” is a thingk re a lot of bodies. The so-called “universe” is a feature of the Expansion – not the other way around. (Whoops! We’ve got things inside-out!*) The Expansion, after Big Bang, soon came to have a myriad of discontinuous bodies. Some of which collided. Most significantly, the myriad of discontinuous bodies in the Expansion later came to have a myriad of discontinuous steps.** Most notably, but far from solely, among humans (see “animate”). Steps some of which have arranged for or avoided collisions. Steps separate, such that “Stop” (an R-word; a mettle) – and start over – can be effected (Realized).

The Expansion comprises these two universes.*** Which is to say: a second universe in addition to the familiar one of bodies (whose “existence” we learn about in terms of B-spacetime). A second universe of steps. A universe remarkable for its expansions within the Expansion, for its developmental emergence as well as its evolutionary emergence. Via step materiality Into the World of Possibility ... this second universe remarkable for Realization, and for yet further expansion via R-sense and R-technologies (e.g., R-spacetime, R-transform [to Read the Expansion], R-words [to Tell the story of expansion via Realization]).

A new universe, within which can be discovered the new World of Possibility. And, unlike the universe of bodies, and for practical purposes, pretty much all at hand here on Earth.

According to Whittier the saddest words “spoken or penned” are, “It might have been.” Arguably, these are not the saddest. Most pathetic perhaps? The saddest, it seems, are, “It could have helped.” Why despair of circumstance when we should be ruing lack of relevant effort, ruing our weak Grasp of Compose, ruing our weak language? And seeing the untapped potential of the human condition in this light.#

Why settle for evolutionary processes when needed functionality calls for developmental procedures? For compositional steps rather than circumstantial change. “Behavioral architecture,” “procedural technology,” “molecular step” – however we speak of this, the idea of the compositional step, of the need for step making capabilities, seems requisite to the human adventure.

It is a fact of life that the body is hostage to the step. To the next step, and surviving that, to the steps after that. And survival to our selves-development as the most fittingest. Help, functionality re needed functionality, seems paramount. How is it then that we have left this second universe so undeveloped? For lack of technology? Of technology for technology? For lack of R-sense?

Technology, especially R-sense’s procedural technology, offers Help.## We can Compose molecular steps, alloying mettles, to obtain greater step strength, applying CEM principles. As, for instance, in how we have expanded Know from try, KT, to Trial, KMmt. Technology can Help. Technology (R-technologies) to Help technology Help can Help more. (See levels of Help in App. I.)

* Things indeed. This is what comes from making any focus of attention a thing (as in “things of nature”). Then B-speak tech offers the option, via the “inside-outside” combination of attribute and object, of treating the post- Big Bang condition of Expansion as just a property of the fictive “universe.” This “inside-out” error compounds the risky business of B-ness and B-speak, which already burdens us by its “backward” (too much of a hurry to name things?) and “upside-down” oppression (most notably in Behaviorism’s “whole body movements) of R-spacetime (the World of Possibility) underneath B-spacetime.

** The Nature of Things – another missed Tell (collisions not fully Read) – comprises partial order, consequentiality and discontinuity of bodies and steps. As continuing circumstance (constants) they demand needed functionality of body and step. To which History (body CEM step) responds.

*** Somewhat paradoxically, there is an “expanding universe” – two of them in fact. The universe of bodies and the universe of steps are both expanding in their respective numbers of bodies and steps. For all practical purposes, infinitely so. Importantly, each universe deserves a spacetime and related technologies of its own. R-sense, not just B-ness.

# It might have helped, for example, if Jefferson had not been in Paris in 1787. The Preamble to the U.S. Constitution might then have begun, “When in the course of human events a newly freed people should give birth to a new nation… a nation whose continuing concern should be the cultivation of a more perfect Union.” This and any Union is an emergent condition. It must be served, not just preserved.

## We Attend now with a variety of scope technologies to make more apparent the bodies we are dealing with. Ordinary “glasses” included. R-sense offers a different kind of glasses, for step making and taking, to be worn up front in the step when operating in the World of Possibility. A procedural rather than a tool technology.
