(entering the speculative zone)
so, now, since reality for a person is dependent on their perception
of it, memory - being a thought process - consists of (or is anyway
related to) electrical impulses in brain cells...
and since these electrical impulses are vibrations, conceptual
reality (subjective) actually is a wave carried inside the skull
but not limited to it, ie, one's reality (thnking outside the
(brain)box)
is a continuous wavefront moving through the universe
ie, thinking about memory ---
not that we are accessing current states in brain cells when
we remember, but that we are actually connected to the original
events that placed the brain cells in those states...
and this wavefront could be traversed in either direction - so that the
question isn't really whether it can be done: the fact that we
have memories indicates that it is done -- but how it can
be done more successfully
Remember "inside and outside the mind" re Someone in the Cyprian chapters?
I think it dovetails with some key Pynchon themes......
A connection to the original events. yesss!
