Sometimes the house of the future is better built, lighter and larger than all the houses of the past, so that the image of the dream house is opposed to that of the childhood home…. Maybe it is a good thing for us to keep a few dreams of a house that we shall live in later, always later, so much later, in fact, that we shall not have time to achieve it. For a house that was final, one that stood in symmetrical relation to the house we were born in, would lead to thoughts — serious, sad thoughts — and not to dreams. It is better to live in a state of impermanence than in one of finality.

none of these have yet occurred, but they may
I have lived three hundred years, and I long to die.
But death is no longer possible.
I am immortal.
I present now my story, full of mystery and intrigue;
rich in irony, and most satirical.
It is set deep in a possible future, so none of these events have yet occurred, but they may. Be warned, lest you end as I. In this tale, I am a fake god by occupation and a magician, by inclination. Merlin is my hero! I am the puppet master. I manipulate many of the characters and events you will see. But I am invented, too, for your entertainment and amusement.
And you, poor creatures, who conjured you out of the clay? Is God in show business too?
- Arthur Frayn, Zardoz (1974)

Imagine what you'll know tomorrow
- Humans, for the most part, don't have a clue. Don't want or need one. They're happy. They think they have a good bead on things.
- Why the big secret? People are smart. They can handle it.
- A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals. You know it. Fifteen hundred years ago, everybody 'knew' the Earth was the center of the universe. Five hundred years ago, everybody 'knew' the Earth was flat. And fifteen minutes ago, you 'knew' that people were alone on this planet. Imagine what you'll 'know' tomorrow.
- Men in Black (1997)

Energieerhaltungssatz
Es gibt ein abgeschlossenes System ‒ Pan.
Der Energieerhaltungssatz¹ ist der Logos der Existenz all seiner Zustände ‒ Topoi.
Pantopia ist dessen Freiheitsgrad.

¹Die Gesamtenergie in einem abgeschlossenen² System bleibt konstant.
²Unter einem abgeschlossenen System versteht man ein System ohne Energie-, Informations- oder Stoffaustausch und ohne Wechselwirkung mit der Umgebung.

vom Reality-Design nach Pantopia
Eigentlich ist das Universum pantopisch angelegt. Die Erde ist unbestreitbar ein Teil des Himmels und irgendwie aus den universellen Bedingungen geartet. Zu Recht beobachten wir nach oben, um aus der Vergangenheit des umfassenden Himmels Schlüsse über die eigene Vergangenheit ziehen zu können, aber auch um über die Auswirkungen unseres Handelns in der Zukunft Hinweis zu bekommen. Dort gehen wir von einer Verschachtelung der Periodizitäten immenser Tiefe aus, um unsere Berechnungen zu stützen. In einer Welt aus Kurven, berechnen wir unsere geraden Strecken. Aus der scheinbar grenzenlosen Dimensionierung des Himmels erschliesst sich unsere schier grenzenlose Gesamtrealität. Es gibt einen offenen Raum für alles vorstellbare, den aber die Materie beschreiten muss, um sich von einem Ort zum Anderen zu transportieren. Der Geist ist die erste menschliche Komponente, die sich aus der materiellen Gesetzmässigkeit befreien konnte, um weite Reisen zu unternehmen. Eine geistige Reise resultiert materielle Transformation und zeitliche Gestaltung.
Somit kann alles im Universum auch als geistige Regung einer höheren Ordnung aufgefasst werden, die materielle und zeitliche Gestaltung resultiert. Auf lokaler Ebene ist die Menschheit ein transformativer Zeitpunkt einer niederen Ordnung zur aktiven Teilnahme im kreativen Prozess der höheren, während Kultur und Gemeinschaft die autopoetische materielle und zeitliche Gestaltung dieser Bewegung darstellen. Das menschliche Bewusstsein ist der kreative Aufzug, der mehrere Ordnungen miteinander verbinden kann. Dieser Aufzug erlaubt je nach biologischem Reifungsgrad die Teilnahme im Prozess der Tranformation, deren Ergebnis den Ausgangspunkt der Fortsetzung beeinflusst.

You study, you become enlightened. I study, I become confused.
- There must be something you wanna do.
- Of course. I wanna discover.
- Discover what?
- Everything. I want to discover why I know what's right and still do what's wrong. I wanna discover what happiness is and what value there is in suffering. I wanna discover why men go to war and what they really say deep in their hearts when they pray to God. I wanna discover what it is that men and women feel when they say they love. You see, there's enough to keep me busy. It's hard for you to understand someone like me. Everything is so clear for you. You always know exactly what you must do and you do it.
- Exactly.
- You're different from me. You study, you become enlightened. I study, I become confused. You love, you marry. You believe, you act. There's a war, you serve.
- How wonderful it would be if I really answered to your description.
- You do, I tell you.
- Shall I show you how wrong you are?
- I know you. I'm not wrong.
- Do you know why I'm going to the war? You think it's because I think that Napoleon is a monster? You think I believe that we have any business fighting Austria's battles, 2000 miles from home? You think that I think Russia will be a greater nation when this war is over?
- Then why are you going?
- Because I'm married to one of the most loving and honorable and attractive women in Moscow and I can't stand it.
- War and Peace (1956)
- Of course. I wanna discover.
- Discover what?
- Everything. I want to discover why I know what's right and still do what's wrong. I wanna discover what happiness is and what value there is in suffering.

reality design
- What is the most resilient parasite?
A bacteria? A virus? An intestinal worm?
- Uh.. What Mr. Cobb is trying to say...
- An idea.
Resilient. Highly contagious.
Once an idea has taken hold of the brain, it's almost impossible to eradicate.
An idea that is fully formed, fully understood, that sticks.
Right in there somewhere.
- Inception (2010)
