What is an Open-Source Reality?

A computer is a machine which uses the most basic juxtaposition in existence in order to express a potentially infinite variety of perturbations. Perturbations of what juxtaposition? Opposites, naturally. This makes it perfect as an analogy for causality, especially when critically analyzing society. The open-source software issue is perhaps the most concrete example of a far larger, more abstract, and inherent issue to our world.

Here are the dimensions of computer code:

  • Binary
  • Machine language
  • Programming language
  • User language
Binary is wrapped up in machine language, which is wrapped up in programming language, which is wrapped up in user language.

Binary can be interpreted by any number of machine languages, which can be interpreted by any number of programming languages, which can be interpreted by any number of user languages, which can in turn be read and edited by an infinite variety of individuals.

Keep this in mind as you consider that any individual's reality is the juxtaposition between their internal reality and their external reality. In other words, our choices are both the result of the momentum of our thoughts and the momentum of our society, which are interdependent.

A user language is an upbringing, a programming language is a nationality, a machine language is a belief system, and binary is the awareness of universal opposites.

If a woman wants to marry another woman, for example, she may have to transcend the limits of her upbringing, nationality, belief system, and awareness of opposites in order to do so. To her advantage, though, is the inherent transcendence of opposites expressed through the way her homosexuality contrasts with the society around her. If she were to become open about it she would be a force of transcendence for other homosexuals because she would be showing them how to read the source code of their reality, thereby enabling them to edit it with their own choices.

If a woman wants to be able to free her schizophrenic brother from his difficulty in distinguishing between the opposites of reality and fantasy, she must discover how to read the source code of the illness through neuroanatomy and then perhaps edit it, thereby curing it on his behalf. To her advantage would be her close familiarity with the dysfunction. Jill Bolte Taylor is one such woman who, on her lifelong quest to better understand the brain, suffered a massive stroke directly in the heart of her language and logic center and lived to describe it in exquisite scientific detail as a glimpse of nirvana.

An open-source reality is the equality of opportunity for all individuals to know the source codes of causality and unify their internal and external realities, thereby knowing true freedom.
