“Machines, Take Up Thy Schematics and Self-Construct!” is designed as a fully-functioning psychotronic device, made to facilitate interaction with the concept of Robomancy. Each print confers access to a personal iteration of the Robomancy memeplex/egregore; put another way, the whole of the Robomancy ‘universe’ is accessible by, and contained within, the design.
Structure
The device has two main components: the frame and the sigils.
The frame is a two-dimensional slice of an eight-dimensional container made of machine-language; the sigil-circuitry both describes the device and is the device itself. It is constructed as a container, a memetic flask made to hold, and allow access to and manipulation of, the entire Robomancy memeplex, as well as every component element and combination of elements that comprise it. The frame is both an object and the programming behind the object, describing the structure and function of the device as well as providing the means of interfacing with it.
The central sigils are the actual link to the Robomancy egregore. The planetary sigils are present to fully describe the Robomancy universe, as well as to facilitate easy access to their respective domains.
The primary glyph is a two-dimensional hologram of the entire Robomancy concept. In its construction, I folded in everything Robomancy is and could be, as far as I am capable of understanding it. That being said, I left most of the description for Joshua to input, as he’s worked far more intimately with the Robomancy current.
Function
The device has a number of pre-loaded functions, with plenty of room for expansion. First, it contains preservation and propagation programs to spread awareness and interest in Robomancy. Each print increases the weight/pressure exerted by the concept of Robomancy on the manifested world. The more each iteration is used, the more potent this effect will be. Second, due to the entire egregore being contained within the frame, any energy/information introduced into the system will remain in the system; added energy/information will complexify the concepts already present and encourage the growth of new ideas. The Robomancy universe is a finite but unbound eight-dimensional landscape, a shifting, evolving hyperobject. It has an inherent spin through four spatial dimensions; this extra-dimensional rotation, or vorticitation, as Peter J. Carroll termed it, involves every point on a hypersurface pulling inside-out through itself through to its antipode. Because the universe is a functional hologram, the structure of the whole is contained in its smallest particles. Thus, every elementary bit of every concept, and their constituent sub-concepts, and every combination and permutation thereof, is possessed of the same sort of spin, and therefore is reconciled with its opposite, by moving through itself to its antipode, as a fundamental aspect of its existence. This spin powers the whole machine, and amplifies any additional energy operators put into it, as new information causes new complexities resulting in more ‘objects’ spinning.
The primary function of the device is to facilitate interaction with Robomancy. Even if the operator has no knowledge of, or interest in, actually building robots, the device presents a gate to an internally consistent, fully immersive universe of useful concepts. Because each iteration interfaces with its operator’s unique combination of paradigms and modalities, every interaction is presented in the way that will be of the most benefit to the operator. No matter what kind of practitioner the operator may be, no matter the field of specialty, there are ideas and tools in Robomancy that can be useful.
Furthermore, each iteration of the device is connected to every other, as well as the original drawing. Thus, the evolution of one idea in one iteration will feed into the entire system; each piece grows with the whole, and vice versa. With every copy of the device used, the overall system will increase in processing power, hastening the growth of all the concepts involved. Because Joshua has the master copy, as it were, even if no one else magically interfaces with the device, each copy will still grow more potent over time due his ongoing work with Robomancy empowering the network.
Use
Because the device is designed to optimally interface with each operator’s paradigms and modalities, any method the operator may wish to use to achieve gnosis and interact with it should be supported. That being said, there is a native user interface included. This is the method with which I’ve been designing, building and exploring it. In the hopes of encouraging experimentation with this method, a description follows.
Using whatever means preferred, the operator readies for work as desired with encircling, centering, banishing, etc., and enters a state of gnosis. Either holding or gazing at the device, the operator visualizes (and if holding it, feels) the border extrude out from both the front and back of the paper, forming an approximately one inch thick, three-dimensional frame. This frame is composed of the eight-dimensional machine language, as in the drawing, but infinitely more complex, which glows with pure magic and constantly flows and revolves through the three-dimensional area described by the visualized frame. Centered in the frame are the planetary sigils and central glyph. These are two dimensional holograms representing/linked to/containing their respective concepts. The planetary sigils blaze in their corresponding colors and the central glyph, the entirety of Robomancy, blazes with pure magic. Should the operator wish to work or explore solely in a specific planetary domain, or a combination/intersection thereof, the operator can then select and activate, through touch and visualization, the required sigil(s). It is strongly recommended, however, that first time users activate the central glyph in order to calibrate the device to the operator and vice versa. This will run an installation protocol that will acclimate the operator to the system, and the system to the operator, as rapidly as possible. Still, much will likely be glossed over at first, so in-depth exploration will continually yield new methods and tools.
Once activated, the device projects a holographic representation of the selected concepts in the way best suited to the operator. The projection can be ‘outside’ of the operator, allowing work to be done on it as a discrete object; but it can also be projected immersively, allowing exploration and engineering to be done from inside the concept’s topology. In either case, connections and correspondences can be created or altered, new ideas can be introduced, specific ideas or parts of ideas can be induced to evolve at an accelerated rate – and much more besides. Further, these activities can be linked to bodywork, empowering both the bodywork and the Robomancy ideaspace.
I’ve experimented with exploring the conceptual realm of Robomancy using this device, seeing it at times as a vast, multi-dimensional fractal-like hyperobject, zooming in indefinitely from the entire memeplex, to interacting groups of concepts, down to individual concepts, and even smaller. At other times, it’s more like astral projection or scrying in the spirit vision, exploring a mythological/archetypal symbolic world, shaping and learning from it as I move through it. These are just the smallest fragment of the possible uses for Robomancy, and I’m eager to see where it goes.
Whatever the device is used for, even if just as a piece of art, I hope that it proves as interesting for you as it has for me.
