Context: Brain experiment suggests that consciousness relies on quantum entanglement
Of microtubules and metaphors…
…we can not describe anything beyond our systems of description. This tells us something significant about the nature of these conscious systems and of what kinds of explanations might be possible.
Entanglement suggests, to my mind, that the ways in which we describe (and subsequently understand) dimensionality, locality and identity are intimately bound by limitations endemic of the practices with which we describe them. The short answer: we can not access our master plan or blueprint because the notion that one exists is a consequence of linearly linguistic misdirection and aligned conceptual vocabularies.
It is nuanced and language fails. A sneaky gambit here is to suggest that the endemic indeterminacies of our primary communication and control system (in language and language-like communication technologies) provide leverage. This is, in other words, the power of paradox.
This becomes a small matter of finding the right words with which to describe the indescribable…
