@AimeTim Tim, though you now turn elsewhere, your Twitter slipstream still constitutes a pivotal, ongoing contribution to the larger, collective, planetary adventure in consciousness. Even as your focus shifts, please keep that vast treasure-house of wisdom alive among us. Love ya, truly.

@DanielGilmanHQ Eloquently stated, Daniel. And worth noting that for all its and our flaws, the fundamental structural ontology of Twitter and the corresponding social ecology it peculiarly enables, remains "a possibility space" unparalleled in the history and reality of human interaction.

Depends what you're about. Even if its positive evolutionary significance remains largely unrecognized, no other platform weds to the peculiar
ontological promise of internetworked hypertext as does Twitter. Some get
it. Most don't.

Odd, isn't it, that hypertext's structural ontology, and the concomitant
revolution in expression of consciousness and bounds of possibility space it uniquely allows, remains typically unnoticed. Is such awareness born only from within the possibility-expression-structure itself?

1/ Le subtweet? The radical, evolutionary iteration of a *spatial* dimension to semiotic radiance "distributed among the strengths of the connections [links!] between the units." Landow, Hypertext: the convergence of contemporary critical theory and technology

10/ Put another way, what is it to interpret the evolutionary ontology of, say, Twitter itself, in theological terms? What is the deeper Christic function of
cyberspatial disarray, division and inequity? Why are we _here_?
