The infinite detail of phenomenological freedom

· 134 words

Consciousness is something like the linear real-time awareness of state-switching between perception, memory, projection, abstraction, identity, and action (ie: phenomenological degrees of freedom). Logging is an attempt to rapidly and richly write that process so you can see what’s going on in. It’s possible that, in every moment, you underestimate the depth of what you could write. While filling out the medical paperwork at the OBGYN, each line triggers a thought that could be a paragraph (What’s my % chance of having a thalassemia gene? Was that imagined visual of our doctor as a witch stemming from my fatherhood anxiety? What year were these forms made in? Does someone manually input this into a database? Will that ever be used in some data analytics scheme to have any noticeable impact on my life? Etc.)
