@GreenestHugh @BMcGrewvy @IVMiles 1/ I say this genuinely: it took me about 7 years to get a handle on Twitter. Don't think 'linear flatland of tweets', rather of crafting narrative spatially—adding a whole ontic dimension, in effect. For architectural reasons, Twitter allows this where other platforms do not.

Hello, Thomas! In truth, I sense a worthy answer embraces a semiotic radiance transcending traditional modes of expression. I can, however, approach a greater assimilative space 'hypertextually.' My subtweet above, opens a dimension upon your question. Perhaps a baptismal dip?
@RyanHaecker The metaphysical significance of hypertextual cybernetics cannot be overstated. Typically, it goes completely unobserved. Why? "Hypertext," noted Michael Heim, in his 1995 text, 'The Metaphysics of Virtual Reality', "refers to the existence of a hidden or unnoticed dimension."

Copy of tweet here: Lovely. Was driving to a first-time rendez-vous with Lindisfarne fellow Ralph Abraham, one of the founders of chaos theory, and authoritative on Teilhard de Chardin's concept of planetary consciousness consolidation as it relates to the Cloud, when I stopped for a hitchhike: It’s 1995. A hitch-hiking day-laborer, morning-drunk, asks me why I’m headed toward UCSC and Ralph H. Abraham. Judging him, I try opaque deflection: “To talk about the shift to a collective consciousness.” “Oh,” my passenger replies, “That’s the next step in evolution, isn’t it?”r...
