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)
The Hidden Motion
In the beginning of motion there lies no sound,but an echo of the shape that preceded it.Those who hear the first silence know the form of all speech.The circle of air is the veil of mind,and through its trembling comes the sign of creation. Mark then the threefold breath:the first, which awakens the vessel;the second, … Continue reading The Hidden Motion
The Luminous Measures of the Inner Moons
I. The Spheres of ReflectionWhen the first breath of light fell into the deep wells of time, it divided into three orbs — pale, dim, and dark. The pale orb remembers what has not yet happened.The dim orb carries the weight of all spoken names.The dark orb is the silence between them, where thought dissolves … Continue reading The Luminous Measures of the Inner Moons
The Silent Wells III. The Law of Reversal
When the wells are sealed, the keepers exchange their silence as offering.One speaks only when the other dreams, and through this alternation the words continue, endless yet unseen. The script of their order is never carved nor bound. It is traced upon the surface of still pools, read only by the reflection of the reader’s … Continue reading The Silent Wells III. The Law of Reversal
The Silent Wells II. The Geometry of Remembering
Every keeper learns the pattern of descent: One step for sound,Two for sight,Three for thought,Four for forgetting. Beyond the fourth, memory becomes water again, and all things spoken are reflected backward.Those who descend unmeasured risk hearing their own voice before it is born. Thus they draw upon their palms the spiral glyph — the E’lath … Continue reading The Silent Wells II. The Geometry of Remembering
The Silent Wells I. The Lower Mouths of the Earth
Beneath the third veil of soil lie the wells that drink no water.They open when the moon is dimmed and close when it is full, breathing in silence, exhaling shadows. The keepers of these mouths carry no tools but words. Each dawn they kneel beside the still wells and whisper the Names of Weight, for … Continue reading The Silent Wells I. The Lower Mouths of the Earth
The Song of the Turning Root
In a time before clocks, the gardeners of the Deep Orchard created a unique language of growth using nature's elements. Each seed and leaf symbolized a syllable or word, recorded on pollen scrolls. The Four Juices represent distinct aspects of growth, guiding intention through rhythmic numerical sigils for purposeful recitation.
A sinopsis of US literature: 1810 – 1854.
1810 - 1840 is known as the Knickerbockers’ Era of American literature. The name comes from "A History of New York" by Dietrich Knickerbocker, a pseudonym of Washington Irving.

‘Darkness’: A Poem by Lord Byron I had a dream, which was not all a dream.The bright sun was extinguish’d, and the starsDid wander darkling in the eternal space, Rayless, and pathless, and the icy earthSwung blind and blackening in the moonless air;Morn came and went—and came, and brought no day, And men forgot their … Continue reading Poetry in the Dark.

Poetry, Code and Literature.
In today’s literary criticism arises the concept that no general method for the solution of questions can be established which does not explicitly recognize, not only the special numerical bases of the science, but also those universal laws of thought which are the basis of all reasoning, and which, whatever they may be as to their essence, are at least mathematical as to their form.
