The UNIVERSE is made of STORIES, not ATOMS
"REFLEXTIONS" of our journey 'down THE rabbit hole'
and their interconnections with EVERY other story that
has ever been told ...
transcend & include as HOMO SAPIENS was disposed
to say at the beginning of the 21st century -
TIME supposedly waits for no man - as ever IT WAS ...
Yesterday is history
Tomorrow is a mystery &
Today is a GIFT
That's why we call it the PRESENT
- the moment by moment experience of the here & NOW
Stanley Kubrick was finishing the production of his epic at the MGM Studios in Borehamwood - when my soul-mate & I were married. I have no doubt that - had he been granted the opportunity - the storyline of "2001: A Space Odyssey" would have become never-ending. In deference to him & his team and the importance of modern day movies - being seen in the context of their replacement of the telling of myths, since they were inscribed on the large bones of dead animals - the AlphaINDEX and ITS contents are dedicated to ALL the Celluloid Heros.
To paraphrase Tony Buzan's THE HUMAN BRAIN AND THE GLOBAL BRAIN -
THE human brain, of course, comprises 10 billion small and amazingly complex brain-cells - each and everyone an independent intelligence in its own right - with hundreds of octopus-like tentacles - each with thousands of sucker-like connections - ALL of which can inter-connect with every ONE of the other 10 billion similarly independent intelligences.
The number of possible independent patterns of thought in this network contained within each and every one of our skulls ( ceramic and bronze my-head avatar brain excepted ) is greater than all the atoms there would be in over a hundred universes such as ours.
THE human brain IS indeed a supreme example of - and IS the ultimate internet.

We are, in a very real sense, in the process of creating the first GLOBAL BRAIN ... never forgetting
as Price Pritchett has said that - EXCELLENCE is a process, not just an outcome.
MAKE THE RIGHT CONNECTIONS
