Stuff to think about.
he book clearly states different mediums measuring light in different speeds, and yet it also states something a lack of something called relatives speed. I assume this means that in the same medium (this former part is not emphasized), light is then measured in the same speed at all perspectives. This discrepancy is linearly sound, but since I don't think in a linear fashion, it seems to not make sense.
So the next description in the book shows that light must then be a phenomenon in action. This gives me two questions: what happens when everything is categorized into motion or rest; and the perception of various forms of energy as a single thing as opposed to a limited frame like analog versus digital.
If things are categorized as motion... then is there some sort of base energy level to each object? Isn't this how electrons are described? The resistance and lack of in heat transfer in thermodynamics... is that another category or simply something like a consequence of structure? I don't know heat and I know chemistry even less.
Medium... is observation a kind of medium? Or an interpretation error... or trying to see something in motion at rest? That's more like limits in calc... it's easy to make the logical leap that 1.999999 is 2, but it's still a leap.
Language is a lot like that. A language is important to keep living and needs lots of people because it's a congregate of arbitrariness and discrepancies that alter over time and mistily form a shape we call 'language.'
Language is defined as being able to express all things about humans equally as well as any other. This is possibility, though, not how easy it is to do so. Culture, thought processes, and other base assumptions make things difficult, nevermind individual personalities, habits, and quirks. And linguistic skill, interpersonal skills, etc.
All these things influence if an idea is communicated or not.
Okay yeah, I kind of wonder how exhausting it would be for someone to think the way I do. It helps me live in peace as opposed to feel like the world is wrong, but it's not very active. And perhaps not the most emotional, which is not true, since it's more like seeing emotions like colors or sounds rather than the air that one breathes...
[I'm not sure that the lj-cut is working correctly since I'm not used to an interface describing it as opposed to typing the html-like thing myself.]
Another thing I'm thinking about is the training it would take me to develop a little in the things that other people take for granted, like remembering things in order. I'm pretty sure my constant mistakes in left, right, and inside out have something to do with that since I have no actual problem with knowing direction... once I have a map memorized.
It's something more than that, though. Like dropping a thought process or not knowing what you're currently doing or something. I'm not sure if it's linked with my crappiness at sensing the present, though, or just aggravated by it. A loss of relative position in thought? Possible.
If that's true... then music could help with that.
Let's describe light like thought. Some people see thoughts as simply thoughts. Some see them as other things before they become 'thoughts'. It's hard to describe at that point what is or isn't a thought, but conscious thought would be then like light. You can't call it conscious if it's not conscious, even if you can track it.
I've gotten a little bit better... gotten the knack? of not always using conscious reasoning to deal with trying to think something through. I don't know how to describe it other than 'under' and 'peripheal' (spelling). Something about the limitation I have in direct reasoning... I know its super limiting. It's that point at which a bunch of objects are lined up and you have to put them together into a piece.
That I know I can do... but it's not by conscious reasoning.
