Crazy Eights

Crazy Eights

The ASCII Cube becomes a facsimile for cyberspace, laminated flat chips, and when turned on its side, "library stacks."

The ASCII Sphere becomes a facsimile for our geo-synchronous world, spherical three dimensional chips, and the 256 concentric layers of structurally arranged information which becomes the "Global Matrix".

When these two worlds are examined closely there is a very obvious under-lying eightness in them. It is fairly easy to see that, since the cyber world is based on the "Powers of Two" and the subsequent 8 bit structure, it would reflect this. In our own world, not that long ago, we also used an 8 bit system. A "bit" was the small change of our ancestors. Lacking small coins, people cut larger coins into eight pie shaped bits, the fractions (12.50) of the dollar.
When we arrange our sphere with two hemispheres and four quadrants, we have eight parts. At this point, I realized all eights are not created equal! The cubic world has cubic eights, and spherical world was composed of octagonal or fractional eights, and therefore

2/3p : 8 : 8/1

There was a bifurcated continuum of eights, the exponential and fractional versions of eight, receding off into the distance. With a little more study, it became obvious that the powers and fractions of two delineated the cubic and spherical worlds. This was my beginning insight into the structure that pervades both worlds, and was the key to its structural components.

Exponential Unit        Archtypic Unit        Fractional Unit

This was also the basis for my other insight, which was, that this is also an Inverse Analog structure, composed of internal and external reference sys-tems, which "Frame" all data into pairs or inverse analogs.
