So, parallel futures are part of probability theory - originating from Pascal - which are bound to be mathematical (algorithmic). 

Pascal's triangle - which was known to the Hindus, Persians, Chinese and other cultures - is a mathematical way of dividing numbers into progressive shares. 


This is known as binomial theory (from the rows and columns), but the main point to note is that the triangle represents 'future possibilities' in probability theory. The sum (sigma) of possible futures is binomial theory. Any science based on probability theory is therefore a future event of possibilities.

Coordinated actions of the here-and-now purpose (body) - as in a saloon gunfight - don't figure. The parallel is an expected development - future tense - for quanta or numbers that are essentially random events.

The mere fact that it's a probability event ('expected value', Pascal) puts it into the future - into the control by numbers. So, the future is quintessentially random in that that is the nature of probability mathematics (the two are the same.)

By going into the future (in that modern sense) are you therefore going away from the physical universe? The one that imbues psyche (see prev on Madame Blavatsky and planets.) Is the future in other words a convincing illusion?

In this future, coordinated actions of purpose are increasingly irrelevant, and one tends to fight illusory wars where the physical and psychological aspects are confusingly distorted. The technology may be good, but exists inside the mirror of illusions (the vanishing point of technique).

Where the physical reality involves differences and feuding, where the psyche involves the affinity of differences, the future reality involves sameness and the confusion this engenders.

Sameness heads towards the cybernetic, or what is called future tense (machine). The future is a probability event (of numbers), as opposed to the here-and-now pulp coordination of the active body in physical situations (of danger, rebellion.)

Pascal's triangle is deterministic and highly convincing; a godsend to the mathematics of the future - which is where we are now. Anything that is so deterministic and convincing is meat and bone to the acolytes of an illusory reality.

This leads fairly inevitably (as was previously intimated) to a replicate system of motion-capture and expressive algorithms.

The war in Ukraine is confusing for these sorts of reasons in that it is heading towards that territory. Social media is being used very effectively, but if you were to tweak it a bit you would have an artificial reality used for propaganda purposes (against the Russians.)

Zelensky says they are defending the country, but they are also defending the Western way of life. The Western way is heading towards Cybernia - or a society of the head as opposed to the body.

Putin is also confused in that he cannot envisage rebellion as a natural situation of a feuding populace. The natural situation would be for Ukrainian cities to be independent within a Russian confederation. The idea of nationhood is just a proxy for Western technology.

Independence implies rebellion but also a part of a whole. It's the natural state whereby arms and legs and organs act autonomically and also as part of a whole (body.)

Cybernia, or the state of the head, is confused in natural terms, as well being determined by the possible futures of a (numerical) probability science. The possible futures are heading away from physical reality and therefore have a psychic weakness.

The physical reality of a commune should not be suborned by Cybernia; the more natural situation is to be part of a greater whole. The religious or the mystical, which was apparently Putin's original intent.
