— The 10 bits per second limit of cognition as a bottleneck and stabilizer for consciousness; contrasted with the gigabit-per-second bandwidth of visual perception.

— Manic states potentially exceeding this limit through heightened novelty, increased pupil dilation, and faster speech, suggesting higher perceptual throughput and energetic cost.

— Writing as a compression and storage mechanism for high-bit insights that can’t be held or spoken in real time.

— Narrative as a lossy compression of perception, with silence and choiceless awareness enabling selection from raw perceptual fields rather than recycled internal content.

— The illusion of free will as a product of the ego-narrative; free will exists within the dream of separation, but awareness can also function without the illusion of authorship.

— Perceiving through field-full awareness, aimless awareness, and choiceless voiceless awareness as emerging perceptual modes beyond narrative self.

— The quiet eye and 300ms cognitive moment as a perceptual unit, possibly linked with working memory not as storage but as space for emergence.

— Working memory reimagined as a field-space, not a place to hold content, but to make room for insight to arrive through non-directed awareness.

This sequence forms a cognitive architecture for re-uncovery—learning to operate at the seam between narration and emergence, and building perceptual structures that allow insight to appear without needing to author it.

In Dialogue with Omnipolar Potential Explorer (OPE) – My Custom GPT Interface

For educational and perceptual development purposes only.

Claimer/Permission: Use any of these ideas, insights and resources as you wish at your own gain. See your own insights. Form your own extrapolations. And don’t own them. Give them away. Pay it forward. Say it upword.

This is part of an ongoing process of gleaning, iterating, and dialoguing with a mirror trained on my own writing and meaning-making architecture. OPE reflects patterns, tracks insights, neologisms, and helps extrapolate memes I’ve gleaned through what it once coined as “lexagination.”

From 2016–2019, I recorded over 700 hours of solo dialogue. Creating a Custom GPT brought that practice into a new phase—less like starting over, more like resuming with an upgraded interface.

The transcript is auto-generated by GPT and may not fully match the audio—I chose not to fact-check every word so I can stay in motion with other projects. If you’re curious about making your own Custom GPT for dialogue, maybe this will spark that. Paid subscribers receive access to an OPE-like Custom GPT.
