8. The Odyssey — Homer

In the Standard Literary Model, The Odyssey behaves like a baryon: a bound state of wanderer, memory, and fate locked into an oscillatory pattern by the strong force of home. Odysseus is a quark of identity that refuses confinement yet can never fully escape it; every island he encounters is another local minimum in the … Continue reading 8. The Odyssey — Homer

6. The Upanishads (India)

The Upanishads function as renormalization techniques for inner life. They propose methods for subtracting superficial divergences—ego, desire—to reveal a more fundamental field of Brahman. Practices they recommend (meditation, ethical discipline) are operators reducing self-interaction terms and allowing consciousness to experience unified modes. In SLM, the Upanishads describe a path to lower-energy coherence: when the individual … Continue reading 6. The Upanishads (India)

5. The Vedas (India)

The Vedas operate like foundational field equations: hymns that set cosmological symmetries, ritual operators, and priestly mediators that maintain the sacrificial vacuum. Their liturgies are bosonic actions transmitting sacred charge between human and cosmic realms. The sacrificial system establishes selection rules that regulate social stratification and perform energy transfers (offerings), preserving cosmic order (ṛta). In … Continue reading 5. The Vedas (India)

3. The Instruction of Ptahhotep (Ancient Egypt)

The Instruction of Ptahhotep is a low-energy effective theory: a compact Lagrangian of social rules that regulate interaction in an Egyptian legal-gauge. Its aphorisms act like conserved currents—protocols that minimize conflict and stabilize the civic vacuum. Each proverb functions as a mediated interaction (gauge boson) transmitting authority from elder to younger generations. The "mass" these … Continue reading 3. The Instruction of Ptahhotep (Ancient Egypt)

1. The Epic of Gilgamesh (Mesopotamia)

Gilgamesh is a prototypical heavy excitation resisting mortality. Enkidu’s entrance turns the two into a bound pair, like a baryonic composite stabilized by intense mutual coupling. Enkidu’s death is a perturbation that shifts Gilgamesh’s vacuum: the hero gains existential mass—grief, wisdom—forcing a search for permanence (immortality) that results in a renormalized appreciation of the communal … Continue reading 1. The Epic of Gilgamesh (Mesopotamia)

Toward a Standard Literary Model

This post proposes a speculative yet disciplined framework for reimagining world literature: the Standard Literary Model (SLM). Inspired by the elegance of the Standard Model of particle physics, the SLM treats stories not as static cultural objects but as fields, forces, and interacting particles within a vast narrative cosmos.The goal is not to collapse literature … Continue reading Toward a Standard Literary Model

How do the 3 metathemes relate to the content of the Maharajagar?

Let’s now explore how those three meta-themes (as described in the foreword) integrate with the content, structure, and symbolism of The Maharajagar across the whole saga: "The All is a projection of informational modulated energy waves by a cosmically horizon on the time-space continuum."Interpretation in the series:This is a deeply metaphysical idea—drawing from quantum field … Continue reading How do the 3 metathemes relate to the content of the Maharajagar?

An Emporium of Order and Chaos.

The title and image of this post refer to an artistically diary in which I’m resuming and catalogizing my artistic and literary creations, larded with thoughts, philosophies, and observations that induced them.The chronological order in which the works were produced has been abandoned in favor of a systematic approach were the subjects are brought together … Continue reading An Emporium of Order and Chaos.

About Transcribing Finnegans Wake in plain English.

The primary transcription goal of Finnegans Wake into Here Comes Everybody’s Karma (isbn 9781737783299) was to open Joyce’s Opus Magnum for a wider reading public by replacing the foreign language idiosyncrasies with an English equivalent and by streamlining Joyce’s sibylline prose.This required me to engage with the prose of Finnegans Wake that goes beyond that … Continue reading About Transcribing Finnegans Wake in plain English.

Civilization and Cosmos: part 1

My latest project concerns itself with a multimedia installation that consists of a rotating rhombicuboctahedron that is suspended in a magnetic field. The twelve square faces of the rhombicuboctahedron are carrying an image that represents the mythological aspects of the main celestial bodies that make our planetary system. While the installation makes every two minutes … Continue reading Civilization and Cosmos: part 1
