FICTION: This is a quick attempt written in stream of consciousness style to portray a mental musing I had this morning while I was waiting for the coffee pot to complete it's cycle.
And there I sat mentally blasted. I had seen momentarily into the mind of God and I think I almost even understood what I had seen. I saw in that moment the ghost like tethers coming from that vast mind and attaching to the minds of every living thing.
In that moment it were as though that god mind was a giant super computer simply doing as we do and trying to think new things, and consider new experiences.
To each meeple (mind of the people) that wandered the universe of which I was but one, a certain amount of cycles or zots would be allocated to my own internal processing. For many of us the cycles required ended up being rather limited as we by our actions would over time become as the non-player characters (NPCs) in our own computer games. Our life would become so routine that we would follow a very set pattern. We would wake from sleep, make our coffee, eat our breakfast, go to work, go to lunch, return to work, go home, consume some media, engage with other familial meeple, go to sleep, and perhaps dream.

The god mind did not need to relegate much in the form of zots to keep that cycle going. To the god mind the amount of zots eventually required for maintaining that routine end up being the same as those of the ant, the rabbit, the deer, the lion, the bird, and the fish. The interaction of these meeple can produce interesting and emergent behavior but to do so does not really require much effort on the part of the god mind. By extension only in the occasional rare moments might the emergent behavior of these interacting NPCs result in something that was intriguing enough to have a stream of additional zots allocated to the cluster of meeple in that region.
Behold, something interesting occurs!
At that moment those initial zots might occur at any point on the waypoints that the meeple follow. They may suddenly have more cycles to contemplate other things as they haven't before. They may have a burst of inspiration. It may end up being as though some muse suddenly tapped them upon the shoulder and they suddenly create.
The sparks of brilliance.
If the extra zots in the cluster produce something knew that elevates the consciousness of the god mind the stream may remain increased, or it may even gather in more zots. The power of the god mind begins to coalesce within a region, within a meeple, within a group of meeple, within an animal, and so on.
I saw this in a flash and I realized for a moment the zots had increased in my direction. Would my contemplation of the god mind in this fashion offer enough to keep the flow heightened? Would the god mind be intrigued by the thoughts about itself? Would the flow increase and my creativity by extension expand even further, or would it subside to the norm as I simply returned to my ordinary routine?
That remains to be experienced...
Good morning to you my friends of Hive, PeakD, ProofOfBrain, and VerifyYourBrain.
