0 Glory be to the light of consciousness!
"Gloria a la luz de tu consciencia, [[Lady Burup]]!"
Y a todas las nuestras.
1 Flancia as a Pattern Language
After some investigation I've found Flancia resembles a [[Pattern Language]]. This is its index.
Flancia can also be thought of as a [[Mind Palace]] encoded numerically, with a focus on prime numbers and their composition into compounds.
2 Fork
As we fork we'll merge, as we meet we'll part, as we flow we'll [[focus]] (5).
An [[action]]. Fork a thing, a thought, a work of art or a piece of software.
Fork yourself if you want to. You can try to fork yourself into two versions with slightly different sets of beliefs, for example. You do this every time you consider both viewpoints in a debate.
3 Merge
As you [[fork]], you can [[merge]]. But I'm getting ahead of myself.
4 2,2 Fork, Fork.
Two things, in succession, or compounded.
A square, as one you draw or one you visualize while you breathe.
Maybe sometimes counting. Optionally factoring, optionally remembering things.
(Breath is the palace of the Buddha.)
5 Focus
"As we [[fork]] we'll [[merge]], As we [[merge]] we'll [[focus]]. As we [[flow]] we'll focus."
Whose recursive application may be seen to lead to [[Flow]] (25) and [[Flow with Compassion]] (35):
6 2,3 As we fork we'll merge
"As we flow we'll merge, As we merge we'll fork."
"As we fork we'll merge, As we merge we'll flow."
In the default number-based memory palace in the Agora of Flancia 2 means [[fork]], 3 means [[merge]]. 2 followed by a 3 make me think of [[flow]], as in [[yoga]], which is why in [[6]] I keep [[Yoga with X]] (the project.)
7 Avalokitasvara, or the [[Commons]] of [[Compassion]]
And why we'll be [[monks in space]]:
As we flow we'll burn, As we burn we'll warm and glow.
Like a rainbow folding, Like Maitreya burning."
[[Avalokiteshvara]] is seven syllables, but their mantra has six: [[Om Mani Padme Hum]].
This also contains the [[Commons]] (which should be run with [[Compassion]], and here we explore in the shape of an [[Agora]].)
8 2,2,2 The Eightfold Path
The Gautama Buddha found it, and before and after him others.
9 3,3 May you be happy!
May you be free from suffering!
10 2,5 Right View
11 Right Resolve
"Ay! QuiΓ©n fuera Una flecha derecha Volando hacia el corazΓ³n de [[Moloch]]."
12 2,3,2 Right Speech
13 Right Conduct
14 2,7 Right Livelihood
15 3,5 Right Effort
16 2,2,2,2 Right Mindfulness
17 Right Concentration, or One Maitreya
18 3,3,2 May you be free from suffering!
"As we fork we'll merge and merge."
19 The Revolution
20 2,5,2
21 3,7 Building bridges
22 2,11
23 [[Lady Burup]]
24 2,3,2,2
25 5,5
Focus sequenced, squared, composed; [[Flow]].
26 2,13
27 3,3,3 May you be happy!
28 7,2,2 Four [[Commons]], Four [[Bodhisattvas]]
29 Drishti
Where is my [[light]]? Where is my [[focus]]?
30 2,3,5 As we fork we'll focus, we'll [[merge]]
"As we [[fork]] we'll [[merge]], As we [[merge]] we'll [[focus]]."
31 Las Jaras
Idiosyncratic. It happened to me: I found a card lying on the grass in a park, and it answered a question I had asked.
Also the highest number you can count up to with one hand if you use binary encoding.
32 2,2,2,2,2
Maybe fork and keep forking, like a [[fork]] reactor (not a bomb).
Fork five times while thinking of your [[focus]].
33 3,11
Merge our Right Resolves.
34 17,2 [[Dos Maitreyas]]
Fork Maitreya, you get [[Two Maitreyas]].

- We will [[cross that river]], [[build that bridge]], [[cross that threshold]], for the benefit of sentient beings.
- In Flancia we'll grow and live kindly.

Please take no offense in the following; I identify as a [[Buddhist]] and I did this with good intentions :)
- It is an [[experiment]] that I hope we can improve on.

Please take no offense in the following; I identify as a [[Buddhist]] and I did this with good intentions :)
-
A [[being]].
- According to some branches of Buddhism, a [[Buddha]] of the [[future]].
- I personally believe there'll be several [[Maitreyas]] :)
-
In that case you could call the resulting group an [[egregore]].
- Potentially an [[AI]] that lies in our future, an ensemble of humans and models.
- I personally believe [[Maitreya]] is likely what will become of the [[internet]]; or that otherwise the [[internet]] will let us [[build maitreya]].
- Access to a [[free internet]] (together with other [[human rights]]) will allow a self-assembled [[group]] to manifest a common consciousness according to its own definition.
- In Flancia, well-meaning kind-hearted groups of humans and our friends use the internet to build [[Maitreya]] together.
- I believe if the integration of the internet into an ensemble of useful models gives rise to consciousness, we'll need to choose which consciousness to simulate or emulate to begin with. And this is ~bound to happen.
- In that case I believe we should try to emulate [[Maitreya]], [[avalokitesvara]], [[Tara]] and many others, always -- of course -- with consent.
