Discussion in realtime, of my decoding of the Canterbury “mushroom tree/ hanging/ sword” image with the trained, self-threatening Psalter reader.
https://egodeaththeory.wordpress.com/2020/11/17/realtime-discovery-log/
Anyone reading the main article should read some of the present, supporting article, which is more than just notes.
The main article is the condensed decoding-solution.
The present, supporting article is for:
o Important commentary that might differ in tone.
o Timeline of decoding.
o Meta-theorizing.
o See-also resources that might differ in tone.
Length of Each Section of the Main Article
Nov 21 8pm: screen page-downs:
0 4, now 17 (Nov 24)
1 7
2 7
3 7
4 6
5 15 Banquet – need half-portion
6 9
7 17 Blade – cut in half
8 3
9 7
No big deal, I was just paging through Blades saying “how many pages is this, it goes on and on and on. It is infinitely important though, and reworked to good quality, careful wording. The good side is, the other sections are mostly pretty uniform in length.
The image uses the {blade} mytheme centrally, so it’s understandable that that’s a long section.
Should call it the “mushroom tree with sword”, to set expectations for the analysis.
I do, lately, say “mushroom tree hanging by a leg above a sword”:
Section 1 starts: “mushroom tree with a man hanging from it by one leg, above a sword“.
I’m out of time. The content is solid, top-tier.
Blade section is important, major theme of all rows. Meal took lots of analysis.
There’s no junk to move from there to here in those two sections.
Not clear-cut what to cut from there.
Everything that remains in the main article is very good.
Shortening those two sections is too low-priority.
Notes for Section 1: Proof of Psilocybe in Christian Art
A heading not used:
Canterbury Psalter: Hanging from a Mushroom Tree Above a Sword, After a Sacred Meal
Notes for Section 2: Recognizing Depictions of Transformative Effects
In the “Criteria” article, Cyberdisciple provided the outline scheme for evidence in a spectrum from literal physical description, to analogies for the effects:
1) Literalistic description of the physical form of the mushroom.
2) Analogy mythemes describing the physical form of the mushroom itself.
3) Analogy mythemes describing the highest experiential effects of the mushroom (mental model transformation from Possibilism to Eternalism).
Puzzle-Solving to Receive the Communicated Message
This top row of this image is a puzzle that is intended to be solved by exactly someone in my position.
Yet, this is Day 3 of my decoding this communication, with some input from Cyberdisciple.
Even though we are both experts at these things,
[moved paragraphs back into main article, “how to recognize” section]
In the end of the third day, I then allowed myself to briefly look at rows 2 and 3, and I quickly decoded their main message: {blades} of testing and {sacrifice} to drive mental transformation from Possibilism to Eternalism.
Unlike Allegro’s motivations, this article is not put forth to discredit and embarrass Christianity and render it illegit.
The top row of the illustration is the most transcendent; it is above the more mundane rows. It is rewarding to do a mytheme-decoding of this row through the lens of Analogical Psychedelic Eternalism.
While decoding the top row, I never looked at the bottom two rows; I wanted to avoid getting sucked into further decoding. But after full decoding of the top row, I ended up doing a quick decoding, successfully, of the jarringly prominent, {happy blade} theme of the bottom rows.
A Record of the Decoding Process
Now that I understand this image, I do not want to rewrite this article and lose the development history; instead, I preserve the messy record of decoding and discovery, with initial, half-correct writeups and corrective commentary on them.
This record of transformation and discovery helps, to explain to everyone how to properly wield the threat which reveals the mind’s inbuilt control-vulnerability and impotent weakness, which forcefully and powerfully causes mental transformation; {regeneration, purification, rebirth}.
Preserving my record of the decoding process here, is an instructive real-world example of how to decode religious mythemes, mapping them to a specific referent about how the mind works in the peak altered state.
In other articles and postings as well, I discuss and log my process of discovery, to learn more about how to change one’s thinking; how the mental model transformation process works.
It took a full three [4, incl wrath/mercy around bible study guy] days to read and decode this transcendent art, while I wrote up the decoding here as I worked it out, posting to the World-Wide Web in realtime as the decoding proceeded from success to success, coherently and consistently, occasionally corroborated and peer-reviewed by another, independent researcher. Amazingly, I actually do have peers.
Upon making interpretive breakthroughs here, my humbling indicator of success was that I often felt I had been foolish and blind, instead of wise and perceptive; embarrassed that I didn’t perceive the (now seemingly obvious) connections straightaway.
OK, I’m finally done– oh wait, there’s still more, that I was blind to! How could I not have seen?! (facepalm, write-up, repeat)
The Scientific Method Applied to Mytheme-Decoding Theory: Reproducibility
The ability of an independent decoder (Cyberdisciple) to successfully apply the same mytheme-decoding method (Analogical Psychedelic Eternalism) to an art image corroborates this mytheme-decoding method.
Another person (Cyberdisciple) was able to experiment by applying my theory, Analogical Psychedelic Eternalism, to successfully, productively discover harmonious, congruent aspects and connections which I overlooked or didn’t get around to, or couldn’t see in my original tightly cropped, blurry image.
Paul Thagard’s book Conceptual Revolutions clarifies the Scientific Method, of how explanatory theories are improved or replaced. I apply Thagard’s theory of knowledge-development to the new field of Loose Cognitive Science.
Thagard’s framework helps explain the development and testing of the method of mytheme-decoding per the Egodeath theory (or Analogical Psychedelic Eternalism). I thus formed, one could say, the Analogical Psychedelic Eternalism theory of decoding religious mythemes.
Cyberdisciple is an independent participant working to experiment with and confirm the theory of Loose Cognitive Science, including mytheme decoding (that is, coherently mapping mythemes to Analogical Psychedelic Eternalism), and to establish the reproducibility of the Egodeath theory.
Cyberdisciple located the high-resolution complete Canterbury Psalter, with the right-hand portion of the image showing God, and he identified a number of consistent points for mytheme-decoding of this image, and questions to resolve within this interpretation framework.
Cyberdisciple successfully, coherently decoded some aspects of this diagram, by applying the Egodeath theory as the explanatory framework; that is, mapping mythemes to Analogical Psychedelic Eternalism.
I expand on Cyberdisciple’s independent decodings within this explanatory framework.
I answer Cyberdisciple’s interpretation questions that he put forward within this explanatory framework; for example, I confirm that God, hidden from direct view in a cloud, is the ultimate control-source, in the center of this diagram.
A theory is an intelligible explanation based on observation and reasoning, deriving from to perceive.

The Minimal mushroom theorists are not theorists and they cannot perceive, or they refuse to perceive.
Notes for Section 3: Trees & Limbs, Branching & Non-branching
Agghh, “But wait, there’s more!” This is ridiculous, I could go on for (even more) days; it’s now into the 4th day of decoding the top row and writing-up my observations and discoveries (November 20, 2020): the two trees touch their left, branching branch.
Trees Shape: Cross-Decoding the Tree and Banquet Scenes
I did not recognize or require this pink tree hinting function during my main decoding pass, because slightly earlier, such as a couple days or hours earlier, I had already developed a {left/right leg} decoding for a salamander bestiary image:
o {Left leg} = bad = Possibilism
o {Right leg} = good = Eternalism
That imported hypothesis worked fine, without needing to notice and use the confirmation here.
By the time I noticed the mapping function that is communicated by the seemingly pointless pink tree, I had already firmly enough corroborated my imported mapping from a salamander bestiary diagram/image.
When I finally recognized the message of the pink tree, that message felt more like a 3rd confirmation, of my mapping that was already confirmed as successful by two images.
Symmetry of themes to the left and right of God’s cloud corroborate this mytheme-decoding method, with the consistency increasing the likelihood of correct interpretation.
God, the ultimate controller, creator, and source of all control-thoughts, is hidden as if behind a cloud.
As I analyzed the angel and person to the right of God’s cloud while writing this section, I held my breath hoping that the right and left arms would follow the pattern, of “left offers no support” — and they did.
In terms of the Scientific Method, my prediction of the result of my experiment successfully evidenced or confirmed my theory of mytheme-decryption.
The branching-isomorphism of the two trees, and the consistency of {left vs. right} across the arms and legs of the three men who are placed closest to God, and across the two trees’ left and right branches, are like redundant bits to ensure accurate data signal transmission.
This consistency confirms that we have achieved an accurate interpretation, reading, or decoding; we have successfully mapped the mythemes in the image, to Analogical Psychedelic Eternalism.
The hanging red initiate’s stable self-control that prevents cybernetic death is consciously based on God the hidden control-source.
A typical inherent feeling of decoding, is the embarrassed feeling of having been blind for not apprehending seemingly obvious aspects. It helps to have this clearer, more complete image to work with.
In this higher-resolution image than I used during my initial mytheme-decoding pass, I can now see clearly that the branch-sitting pink initiate is holding securely and stably onto a cut-off branch with his {right hand} (Eternalism-thinking), similar to the hanging initiate touching the cut-off branch.
The branch-sitting pink initiate’s {left hand} is precariously floating in mid-air (Possibilism-thinking), offering no purchase to stop him from falling onto the sword or ground to his cybernetic {death}.
I was occupied with decoding and writing-up other aspects of this image, and I had not assertively interrogated the meaning of the {cut branches} in this image; I hadn’t thought it through to make those mental connections.
The sword, hand, angel, and head of the hanging red initiate are at the same vertical height as the cut-off stump, depicting his awareness of non-branching.
Cyberdisciple’s observation
The theme of {debranched} possibility-branching could hardly be depicted in a more obvious way, short of depicting someone in the act of cutting-off a branch.
I already decoded {cut-off branches} in the Montecassino Mandrake image, so here we have corroboration of this mytheme-decoding in another image.
Notes for Section 4: Class Session: The Good Student and the Bad Students
Where am I now, Day 5? 9:20 a.m. November 23, 2020: I am still discovering basic, obvious things , facepalm, how the hell did I miss this, fail!
In TOP row, (high pri), not merely row 2/3 (lower pri, decoded later), in the class session: I almost thought I had something break my interp, but then I realized, it solves a problem I had wondered about: the back two guys have very furrowed brows. The front guy is pretty, and has a slightly furrowed brow, gives wrong andwers, ONLY TODAY DID I SEE THat depending how you interp who’s feet they are, they are plainly shown as the front-right guy’s feet: THEY ARE CORRECT (right down, left up), yet, his left hand definitely is displayed. right foot plus left hand?? slightly furrowed brow? SOLUTION/CONFIRMATION of decoding:
The pretty good-looking student with feet on the right (of the other students’ feet) and only slightly furrowed brow, half-gets it: his right foot is down, left foot up — but he shows his left hand.
3 Possible Grade Levels: A (3 out of 3), C (2 out of 3), F (0 out of 3)
These are capable, clever artists, packing so much communication/information in: they express no less than 3 levels of comprehension among the class (of 5, but 3 students in front row, visible)!
Given 2 feet, 2 hands, how many grade levels are possible?
Assume that one foot up means other foot down, this gives 4 combinations, 2 equivalent, so, THREE COMBINATIONS /GRADE LEVELS:
‘F’ grade — 00; wrong foot, wrong hand; left foot down, left hand displayed — complete fail, very furrowed brow
‘C’ grade — 01; wrong foot , correct hand; left foot down, right hand displayed — not depicted. half correct. no banquet/initiation allowed.
‘C’ grade — 10; correct foot, wrong hand; right foot down, left hand displayed
Partly correct. no banquet/initiation allowed.
“Correct foot down” is better than “correct hand displayed”, given that 2 (opposite) feet are shown and only 1 hand is shown.
The pretty youth who doesn’t pass, gets 2 out of the 3 displayed limbs correct: left foot & right foot. He only messes up the hand displayed.
‘A’ grade — 11; correct foot, correct hand; right foot down, right hand displayed
Fully correct; gets to be initiated; banquet then hanging on the tree
___________________
Decoding breakthrough around 12:30 p.m. November 21, 2020:
The {arrowhead} of testing your mode of thinking is aimed straight at the inspired Bible scholar’s head from inches away, while {charitable mercy} and {good judgment} are taken into consideration from the other side.
He is the viewer, decoding this image in this Psalter during loose cognition and thinking about these control-testing dynamics.
Yes, all mythemes are you; but still, it has to be said.
Step Inside the Picture, Thinking About the Two Initiates
This section is an early, outdated interpretation pass, retained as an example of gradual improvement of decoding.
{Bearded men}, completed initiates, men of wisdom (gnosis), are those who see the risk and threat in the Possibilism-thinking model of control when in the mushroom-induced loose cognitive association state.
As the viewer studies and decodes the image, as the viewer gains purchase, the viewer joins the five observers on the left, in gesturing toward the scene, while working-out the decoding, the meaning.
The more-or-less wise men, more-or-less completed initiates, observing on the left and gesturing toward the worrisome tree situation, represent the viewer, who progressively reads, decodes, experiences, and comprehends the image. These viewers, just as all mythemes, are aspects of the mind.
Below, you can see Cyberdisciple failing (like me) to recognize (at 9:00 p.m. November 18, 2020) that the group of observers is a class session (Teacher with Students), even though he is equipped with the Egodeath theory:
Cyberdisciple’s peer-review comment:
It’s unfortunate that not all the men on the left are bearded. Having only one of five be bearded somewhat weakens the argument, and forces you to resort to “more-or-less wise men, more-or-less completed initiates.” Perhaps they do not need to be called completed initiates, since the point that they are observing (and possibly disputing about interpretation) still stands, as your observation about the placement of their hands.
The onlookers gesture toward the initiates on mushrooms, and toward God.
The three visible torsos have a hand over them, over their cybernetic self-control {hearts}.
The following “I don’t have a clue” was written a day earlier: note that this is an example of an Unsolved Problem that was able to be identified/articated by using an Explanatory Framework/Research Paradigm.
Discovering the paradigm, a skeleton for planning and conducting smaller research problems within that paradigm, helps identify spots to fill-in — puzzles to resolve within that paradigm. Now I solved this problem-within-the-paradigm with full coherency the next day, giving evidence further corroborating the Theory: it is a class in session. — Cybermonk 10:00 a.m. November 19, 2020.
I don’t have compelling interpretations or systemic decoding for the group of onlookers, but this is an example of how to analyze elements in scenes.
A close inspection shows the following inventory of the onlookers, who seem inconsistent; perhaps disputatious in working out the interpretation of the two initiates on mushrooms.
From left to right:
o Right hand, beardless, looking to the left, toward the scene
o Right hand, bearded, looking to the right, away from the scene
o Left hand, beardless, looking to the left, toward the scene
o Left hand, beardless, looking to the left, toward the scene
o Left hand, beardless, looking to the left, toward the scene
I listed out the inventory as shown above, but I was stupid and didn’t see the screamingly obvious: It is a class session. Cyberdisciple (an independent researcher using the tools of this field of Loose Cognitive Science) read my above inventory and he didn’t figure it out either. How is it not obvious?
Why would the bearded man (completed initiate) look at the hanging man; he already understands. Fail (yesterday).
Here is the correct answer:
o Displays right hand, beardless, looking toward the scene = smart student.
o Displays right hand, bearded, looking toward the leftmost beardless youth (looking away from the scene) = teacher.
o Displays left hand, beardless, looking toward the scene = slow student.
o Displays left hand, beardless, looking toward the scene = slow student.
o Displays left hand, beardless, looking toward the scene = slow student.
Their hands float and “gesture toward” (but see note below) the two initiates, and do not hold on to anything for stability.
They are displaying their hands, either their left hand or right hand, to show their manner of thinking.
The purpose of the artist showing their hands is to characterize their thinking, not really to point at the initiation scene.
Initial Writeup of Flunking Students (but rewritten)
The flunked students lack Transcendent Knowledge; they continue to only have their initial, default, childhood-suited, possibility-branching way of thinking.
The flunked, non-graduating students are unqualified for initiation; they don’t yet understand non-branching (the Eternalism model of control, possibility, and time).
The slow students don’t yet understand block universe worldlines of personal control that are pre-existing, frozen, and snake-shaped.
The slow students continue to adhere to their familiar, innate, childhood, default, but volatile and {perishable} presumption that branching-premised control-thinking will provide the stable control that’s needed to avoid falling onto the sword of death.
{perishable} means transient, temporary, subject to failure and control-instability, then replacement.
For their own safety, the flunked students are not yet permitted to banquet and be on mushrooms, nor to appear in any other places in the illuminated manuscript, except in the oxen scene down on row 3.
Expect Students Who Gave Wrong Answer to Appear Elsewhere
Hypothesis: The flunked students give the wrong answer, the artist probably makes them reappear as low-IQ people in row 2 & 3.
The above hypothesis, that we should look for the bad students reappearing in the lower rows, is an example of a “new research problem that the new theory was able to expose and present, to fill-in details within the new explanatory framework”.
To research this question: Apply face-matching, using high-resolution zoom and side-by-side cropped images.
Results: Theory confirmed, enough – I found a candidate for a match with the students who gave the wrong answer.
I’m sure everyone reading this article has by now done an inventory of feet in the entire image, obviously.
The Teacher and Good Student, the Scribe of the Holy Spirit, and the Completed Initiate
Nov 21 2020 note: “scribe” is an example of a rejected hypothesis. I always knew it was off-based, because there’s no inkwell. He’s reading the present image in the Psalter, messing with self-control violation, receiving message-thought of mercy and blessedness and “do not harm the {child}; keep using Possibilism-premised self-control system and do not break it”.
The angelic message from God:
{do not harm the child} = keep using Possibilism-premised self-control system and do not break it, though
convert from Possibilism[Naive] to Eternalism + Possibilism[Qualified].
I changed it all in the article from “holy scribe” to: “mystic-state Bible reader” or something like that.
Similar men are downloading a punched-tape scroll from God’s cloud, and sitting without showing limbs at the sacred-meal banquet, and observing the initiates above the sword, gesturing with right hand, [solved it at this point of writing! how was this not totally obvious immediately, when I went so far as to inventory their hands and head direction and beards ~yesterday?!] possibly teaching an initiate-in-training, while the other initiates are still foolishly using left-hand, Possibilism-thinking.
I sort of had the solution in my first writeup above, about a random bunch of people who have scattered assortment of hands, could mean “disputation” — but when I truly solved it the next day (today, Nov 19), as “teacher with students, 1 who gets it, 3 who don’t get it yet”, it felt like Jackpot! far more than my previous hesitant and vague reading.
This “group of observers” is correctly solved as “Teacher with Students”, not “Rabble with Assortment of Views, Disputing” (my first, half-correct, but still off-base, muddle-headed reading from yesterday). 1:57 p.m. November 19, 2020
Notes for Section 5: Banquet Meal then Pulled by Angel by Right Limb
That above writeup (“the two bearded men at the banquet are completed initiates”) was from a couple days ago, and I want to preserve that “take” here, but we can do better, less vague.
This decoding writeup takes time: I have to do many screen captures, and the results shown here at WordPress are lossy, with less detail.
I now think a better characterization is “Religious initiation guide and teacher”, for the funnel-hat man.
I don’t feel I have the correct characterization for the blue man; my best hypothesis, as of today, is that he’s an initiate’s concerned father, such as the maiden’s father bringing his child (youth or maiden) for initiation, now that I give it more thought and inspect the zoomed image.
I’ve been decoding this image for two days, and I just now got the joke, so I again feel dull-witted and humbled; I had been dumbly scratching my head for days wondering why they showed no arms. No Limbs. Get it?
Copied paragraph to retain timestamp:
The maiden and her father are anxious, and the religious initiation guide is reassuring and coaching the maiden (presumably with prayer for trust and mercy, protection and spiritual regeneration), under the guidance of her father. — Cybermonk 2:2s1 p.m. November 19, 2020
Above:Day 4 of decoding the image: I just had an idea: all figures are you, but, The Apprehensive Maiden Is You (the viewer). 7:18 p.m. November 20, 2020.
Cyberdisciple discovered there’s the same placement of the barrier-column and mushroom tree, making them equivalent.
The banquet barrier-column section was expanded from Cyberdisciple’s points.
The {sword} and the {angel} are connected, because they are both coming from god’s cloud/aura at the same level.
— Cyberdisciple’s observation
Solved: Pink Initiate’s Open Palm & Facial Expression at Banquet [[January 3, 2021]
Decoded [Noon SHARP January 3, 2021]
Copied from
Idea Development page 8
https://egodeaththeory.wordpress.com/2020/12/31/idea-development-page-8/
where I worked up the solution almost by accident, of the lingering nuicance problem, of pink’s twisted arm (& facial expression).
Why Settle for Emptying Just 1 Bowl?
Problem/puzzle to solve: palm up touching 2nd mushroom bowl
Unsolved Art Interpretation/Decoding Problem
These are expressive artists. Why do these artists go out of their way to show his empty right hand, palm up? Bowl inventory:
- White bowl: almost certainly for the angel-pulled red initiate off to the left.
- No bowls are for the bearded telestai.
- Red bowl is certainly for pink initiate.
- Pink bowl is certainly for the maiden (the Psalter viewer), who is presently … shown in the act of taking (= {receiving, being given by worldline serpent}) the mushrooms which are implicitly in the bowl.
- WHO IS THE BLUE BOWL for? Pink initiate is touching it so we are safe in concluding that it is his, therefore DOUBLE DOSE.
- WHY IS PINK INITIATE’S PALM UP, TOUCHING BLUE BOWL w right hand/limb? Extremely unnatural, therefore it signals that we are to solve its meaning. Compare red initiate:
touching the blue sword of God with left hand,
touching the blue cut-off branch with right hand. - i got something*: eat with right hand, not left hand. His right hand is empty, therefore he finished eating two bowls of mushrooms. In contrast to maiden, who is about to eat the mushrooms.
[at this point, about 10 minutes ago, ie [11:46 a.m. January 3, 2021], I passed over the hump toward solving/decoding this problem.
takeaway lesson learned: you must leverage (take into consideration) all of the data together, that the artist presents.]
Solution: Empty right hand means he finished eating two bowls, SHE SEES THAT the pink initiate (her spiritual brother) HAS EATEN TWO BOWLS, AS SHE (THE VIEWER) IS BEING REASSURED BY HIEROPHANT/instructor/examiner AND FOLLOWING THE COURSE OF THE PINK INITIATE BUT IN MORE MODERATION THAN HIM.
I reject the possibility that the white bowl is hers. The white bowl must belong to the red initiate out-of-frame already pulled up by angel.
ASSUMPTION: NO ONE IS MIDWAY THRU EATING. The states are simple and clear; to communicate simply.
- The red initiate is well ahead. Single dose (white bowl).
- The pink initiate just finished ingesting the mushrooms. Double dose (red & blue bowl).
- The virgin maiden (the psalter viewer) is about to begin eating. Single dose (pink bowl).
Important: Implicitly, the maiden has passed the Lesser Mysteries textbook test exam, by the hierophant, as shown far left of top row.
To be permitted to eat the bowl of mushrooms, the maiden must have previously displayed her right (not left) hand to the examiner (now sitting next to her), her brow was completely un-furrowed, and she placed her right foot on ground, and left foot floating in thin air powerlessly.
The maiden was (like any initiate) first required to fully understand that one must put dependence consciously on the non-branching mental worldmodel, in order to have self-control stability during the mushroom-induced intense mystic altered state.
More commentary (than I emailed with wrmspirit) re: pink initiate’s expression. SOLUTION: MEANING OF PINK INITIATE’S FACIAL EXPRESSION:
“I have just finished ingesting a double dose of mushrooms, which are about to kick in. You are about to begin ingesting a single dose. We passed the training and exam together. We are spiritual brothers.” [12:00 Noon SHARP, January 3, 2021]
That’s good enough interpretation-elements to merit adding to the Proof article.
That’s actually a brilliant, pregnant & portentious shorthand title:
the Proof article
Scientific Theory Methodology
- Methodology for Decoding the Canterbury Leg-Hanging Mushroom Tree
- Scientific Reproducibility of Mytheme Decoding
- Peer Review: Hanging from Mushroom Tree
Article really needs a final structural-edit pass, within each major section/chapter. And the Hem chapter is too short, should dissolve. You can tell WordPress is inadequate for large-scale composition like this article.
Pink showing his empty right hand is equivalent to sticking out his tongue to display a dose, then closing his lips & swallowing, then sticking out his tongue to display none.
Notes for Section 6: Hanging by Right Leg Above Sword
November 20, 2020 (the 4th day of decoding the top row):
Yet another new observation; why didn’t I look closer before, to see that the pink initiate’s right foot is secure on a cut branch stump?
It was bugging me, the seeming lack of this stabilization of his {right-foot} but now, thanks to high-resolution plus looking more diligently, which pays off in rewards, I see that.
Cyberdisciple’s peer-review comment:
It’s curious that the left hand of the initiate in the tree, which is grasping nothing, is directly in in front of the middle stalk of the mushroom tree (or actually the right stalk, since the middle one veers over to catch the red initiate).
Yes, I have thought about that. – Cybermonk
November 20, 2020: I added the below treatment, proving coherence: his left hand is definitely not touching the stem behind it, and is instead contrasted as being on the wrong side of the stem. His arm is angled toward us, away from that stem, so there’s no back-of-hand pressed against that stem for stability. – Cybermonk
As previously noted, but now as strengthened by closer inspection: pink’s hand floats midair.
Nov 21: I no longer think Pink is pointing – this is an example of a “rejected & disconfirmed initial hypothesis”:
To a lesser extent, the pink initiate also gestures toward the {branching} under the mushroom cap tree top. The blurry picture I started with made it look like he was pointing with his index finger, but this sharp picture shows that his left hand is grasping at thin air.
Notes for Section 7: Blades to Transform Thinking
Unused caption:
Causing the {sharpened blade of sacrifice} to {threaten-to-death} the mind’s cybernetic {child}-thinking, depicted in a mystic comic book page.
Day 4 of decoding: November 20, 2020: row 2&3.
Rows 2 & 3: I just cracked the puzzle. I hadn’t really looked at or tried yet; I had only done a very quick assessment of row 2 & 3, 1 minute total, and I did notice blades and the self-stabbing, yet it didn’t instantly click.
The first time I saw the self-stabbing, the thought flashed through my head, like brainstorming for hypotheses, only.
I was very reluctant to glance at row 2 and 3, because I don’t want to get pulled into decoding them. The researcher has to decide what puzzles to spend the finite time on; which mytheme-scenes to decode first.
When I looked again, then I felt confident, that this was a defensible hypothesis — after I saw additional “sharpen the blade” images.
The third time I glanced at rows 2 & 3, after doing more theory-writeup, it clicked. I did notice knives prominently the first time I glanced at it, but didn’t see how prominent until the 3rd time I glanced at rows 2 & 3.
Sharpen the Blades! “Sharpen blade” is the outstanding, jarring theme of rows 2 & 3, like my recent posts about {harvest, scythe, wheat ear, ripe, blade}. [11:30 a.m., November 19, 2020, the above view clicked, the 3rd time I glanced at rows 2 & 3 –Cybermonk]
Isaaac, the Effective Type of Sacrificing, Removing Only What Is Actually Repudiated: Control Mis-thinking
In Abraham’s sacrifice of his child Isaac, the outcome is that they are blessed by the angel of God and they walk away completely unharmed, to be fecund and prosperous as well as God-conformant in their thinking. This “sacrifice of Isaac” is paradigmatic, therefore relevant for discussing the theme of {blade} in this art piece.
In the loose cognitive association state, the altered state from Psilocybin, the mind is led to deliberately test and challenge, probe and threaten its own self-control system, to drive mental correction and transformation.
After initiation, erroneous thinking is now repudiated, purged; separated-out and removed – while leaving the original egoic, freewill-based thinking still effectively intact, healthy, functional, and productive, like Isaac’s fecundity after Abraham’s effective and productive sacrifice.
The sacrifice of the {child}, Isaac, via sacrificing the bush-caught ram, would not be an effective, productive sacrifice if it had wrecked Abraham’s control-system in the process of demonstrating control-vulnerability.
The exact thing to end, do away with, is taking Possibilism-thinking as if literally true. Retain Possibilism-thinking, which is essential for life, as a mental structure, but Possibilism-thinking is now qualified, with the erroneous belief in it removed.
During initiation or regeneration, the familiar structure of the mind, the Possibilism model of time, possibility, and control, is retained and preserved, intact, healthy, and functional, but it is converted from Naive-Possibilism, to Qualified-Possibilism; and a quite distinct new mental model of time, possibility, and control is added: Eternalism.
{Letting one’s child live}, now {blessed by the messenger-angel of God}, means testing control-vulnerability, without harming self-control – only removing error, not breaking the egoic control system or harming it in any way, but training, correcting, and momentarily “breaking”, disrupting, disproving, or violating personal control, not to harm anything, but to change the mental model of control and time.
This is the effective, blessed way of sacrifice, that leads to fecundity and well-being together with producing gnosis, compliance with God’s control.
The {messenger-angel}, ideas from on high in the realm of transcendent thinking in the Holy Spirit, blessed Abraham to make a fully sufficient and effective control-saving sacrifice of the bush-caught ram, thus allowing Isaac to continue on in prosperity, while also walking away unharmed, fully enlightened about of the real source of personal control-power.
In real, effective {sacrifice}, nothing is harmed; harm would be irrelevant and confused, and would fail to correct mistaken thinking and gain God-blessedness.
{sacrifice} may use the threat of personal non-control, but is not about harm; harm would be the sin of literalism. God-thinking is wrathful and merciful; the angel says “This is suitable sacrifice, of the ram”.
Real {sacrifice} is about revising control-thinking, effectively and with no harm. After the encounter with God’s transformation-driving {blade}, egoic freewill thinking remains, but now qualified; now understood as virtual.
Egoic freewill-premised thinking remains fully functional, now modified as Qualified-Possibilism, without regression backwards into chaotic or incoherent thinking as in Naive-Possibilism.
The holy cybernetic sacrifice of incoherent thinking, a mental model that collapses as based on illusion when put to the test, produces altered-state-durable, Holy Spirit-compliant Eternalism along with Qualified-Possibilism.
Notes for Section 8: Foot Down or Raised, Column Foot, Mushroom Hem
Mushroom Shapes in Garment Hems, together with feet down/up
This section: November 21, 2020 (Day 5 of decoding). Maybe make this Section 8, change God to Section 9.
Here I relate this process of decoding to the alleged “The Scientific Method” together with Paul Thagard’s model, in his book Conceptual Revolutions, of exactly how a new theory or theory-modification is tested for amount of explanatory power, against the Old Theory or the theory without this additional hypothesis.
I feel and judge, based on the combination of evidence, after having properly tested the very tentative hypothesis of the previous day, that my Theory of This Entire Image is bolstered
1) by my due diligence of pointing out this question (“the new theory is able to identify new questions to check”), and
2) by my considered conclusion and judgment [show pic of her scales]; I judge that this section and its conclusions strengthens, not weakens, the New Theory overall; that this added hypothesis — deliberate mushroom hems, in conjunction with feet up/down, in conjunction with column base/feet, I CONCLUDE and commit to, (everything “conclusion” in Science is subject to later correction), this theory-addition:
Scientific Conclusion (from hypothesis formation, testing the hypothesis, tested by experiment outcome as supporting evidence):
The artist deliberately is signalling, in conjunction, to confirm all four of the following hypotheses which the astute viewer, the receiver of the artists’, communication, are expected to realize and consider as hypotheses:
1. These feet up/down in entire image represent Possibilism/ Eternalism. Around yesterday (Day 4 of decoding), I definitely concluded this; the re-look/inventory today, like testing a (mini)-theory for the 4th time, merely further bolstered this theory-addition (re: row 2/3).
2. Standing on column feet-base means, control system based on solid stable foundation that is durable within the Psilocybe loosecog state during control-testing/probing and mental-model revision in that altered state.
3. These hem-wrinkle images represent mushrooms. This is a new mini-theory, or theory-addition, lagging behind the foot up/down theory, with late-incoming hypothesis, experiment, and experiment results that confirm this new theory-addition.
4. These varying-reasonableness hem-wrinkle images represent that yes, there is a convention, of a sliding scale of how hidden/revealed the literal mushroom shapes are. The artist deliberately communicates and signals, he expresses the idea, he communicates “yes I corroborate your theory of reading, that:
“Shape-matching, when you are looking for eg sly encoded mushroom rep’n in esoteric art, is a sliding spectrum, from meaningless abstract, to literal (eg. mushroom) shape“. There’s a sort of meta-theorizing here.
On the mini-hypoth of “theese hem-wringles mean mushrooms”, the scientific process of hypothesis formation, experiment, outcome, and publishing the results, trails behind the above theory-additions.
Being able to continue going in the same vector/direction building out the Theory, adding more and more theory-additions, confirming a bigger and bigger system of interlocked hypotheses and theory-additions, adds up to a successful New Theory (the Analogical Psychedelic Eternalism interpretation for positively identifying (psychoactive) mushrooms in Christian art.
The New Theory, in contrast to “The Old Theory”, demonstrates that people, “scientists, researchers, codebreakers”, should invest in this New Explanatory Framework, which is continuing to demonstrate that it is Valid Science, because its scope of explanatory power continues to grow and grow unabated, never finding obstacles to a growing area/body of coherent explanatory power and predictive ability to predict future experiment outcomes of experiments that are conducted within this explanatory framework.
1995 Heinrich’s book Strange Fruit, to my reading tht in 1999 and steadily, immediately, rapidly mapping Heinrich’s scheme to my extant Core theory, the Cybernetic Theory of Ego Transcendence which I defined from 1988-1997.
I steadily rapidly mapped my Core theory to “mushrooms in religous art” from 1999 to 2020 moving fast from success-to-succcess with confirmatory breakthroughs all along the way, never failing to get confirming experiment-results as I continued to venture bolder and bolder readings/mappings/decodings.
Synonyms for “Old Theory/New Theory”:
“The Old Theory” = “The Old Non-Theory”, or “The Old Theory”, or “The Old Disjointed, Fragmentary Heap of Presumptions and ‘explaining-aways’“
“The New Theory” = Paradigm, the New Big-Theory, the new capital-T “The New Theory”
We can, with this New Theory, confidently predict based on past successful coherent explanatory power, that when we read /decode additional Christian and Greek art, we will see the same patterns of imagery, such as sharp centrally placed (like the artificial-thus-signalling placement of the cooked salamander placed next to the odd unnatural artificial-thus-signalling double-stem branching of the mushroom tree in that image) contrast between “branching vs. non-branching”, and “shapes that tend to gravitate toward and swirl around, the Mushroom shape”.
All 4 of the above mini-hypotheses have been confirmed, individually and in conjunction (“individually and in conjunction” is a theme running through my years of art mytheme decoding: you have to read across multiple, independent art images, across Greek and Christian art images, to confirm the interpretation language decipherment), as deliberate signalling and communication to the receptive viewer.
I noticed these shapes yesterday, was skeptical (“hypothesis formed; not weighted yet; gather more evidence by more experimenting/looking, plus reflection on plausibility” of identification: mostly consistent feet up//down in conjunction with mostly mushroom-shaped shapes of this shape, increased likelihood of deliberate signalling).
I “ran more experiments” and did more “experiment outcome data analysis” to “test further the hypothesis/theory” of interpreting these … in conjunction, now, these feet and these mushroom-shapes.
I re-inventoried these mushrooms and feet up/down now the following morning, gave it more reflection, and decided to officially create the present section and write-up and go to the trouble of cropping and pasting these evidential images, lest the astute reader flunk me for failing to cover this question of these mushroom shapes and feet up/down, thirdly: factor-in, the column bases; the “down” foot can be on solid ground, on column base/foot/foundation, or (per the lower left cybernetician), both..
Notes for Section 9: God the Ultimate Controller of Control-Thoughts
I’ll leave it to the heresy hunters and big-brain theologians to fight over my wording for all eternity, if their inspiration is bigger than mine.
Hidden and Revealed Esoteric Gnosis
My beloved theologian John MacArthur says there is no “secret knowledge”, no “esoteric gnosis”, no “Transcendent Knowledge”, but that everything is written in text, fully revealed to everyone, publicly.
I have been openly publishing text revealing the Cybernetic Theory of Ego Transcendence (created and named as such in 1988), publicly on the internet, since before the Web.
John MacArthur – Strange Fire, Transcendent Knowledge
https://egodeaththeory.wordpress.com/2020/11/11/john-macarthur-strange-fire-transcendent-knowledge/
John MacArthur’s talk critiques Charismatic Christianity as an inauthentic Strange Fire that may offend the Holy Spirit.
MacArthur’s talk doesn’t cite Mark 4:11-13, where Jesus, sitting in a boat on a lake, spoke to a large crowd on the shore.
He told them, “The secret of the kingdom of God has been given to you. But to those on the outside, everything is said in parables, so that they may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding, otherwise they might turn and be forgiven.” Then Jesus said to them, “Don’t you understand this parable? How then will you understand any parable?”
And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables: That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them. And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables?

Notes for Acknowledgments section
For my “Criteria” article about mushrooms in Christian art” article, Cyberdisciple sketched an outline for 3 degrees of evidence ‘looking’ for mushrooms:
1) Literal depictions of mushrooms’ physical form.
2) Mythemes describing by analogy, the physical mushroom form.
3) Mythemes describing by analogy, the mind-transformative, experiential effects that are caused by ingesting mushroom.
I then rewrote and expanded his outline. The Canterbury article began as the bottom part of that article, and was then broken out as a separate article when it reached 11 pages in length.
When the present article reached some 60 pages, I moved-out the meta-theory and record-of-discovery-process content to a separate, support article.

http://amazon.com/o/asin/0060828285 — February 27, 2007
4 stars out of 5 <– DIDN’T I TAKE THIS DOWN TO 3 STARS?
How did i review the book on or before April 2, 2007, if the book wasn’t published until Feb 27, 3.5 weeks later?
[I posted to Amazon on :
Reviewed on April 1, 2007. Therefore, I read Samo article(s) before … and swa saw “Hatsis'” dancing man — before April 1, 2007. Which I mostly solved mabye 2015?? , which then enabled me to get huge jump start decoding Canterbury image, which I completed decoding 8 hours ago, Noon …. yeah just turned 8pm [8:00 p.m. January 3, 2021], EXACTLY 8 hours AGO, i finished decoding the Canterbury Psalter “mushroom tree/ hanging/ sword” image. Now i traced roots kinda to 2007-ish Samorini article (Hatsis i learned from him, that the image was in Samo aritcle,and i confiemd the other day what Hatsis said, that Samo mentions Chris Beennet and maybe even got the image literally from Chris Bennett, for Samo’s ~1998 mushroom-trees article (not Samo’s Plainc article of 1997, iirc the dates of publication) . I don’t believe i paid *any * partic attiont attention to “dancing man” in Samo article (awful formatting, b&w), in 2007-ish. i would NOT say I began decoding Canterbury in ~2007 from Samo’s article’s bestiary salamnder image which Hatsis aroudn 2015 showed us in color. Which Irvin book did Hatsis see Salamnder dancing man in?? now i’m tracing the history of PREVIOUS FAILED ATTEMPTS BY OTHER WRITERS TO SOLVE DECODE SALAM/DANCING MAN, AS PRECURSOR FOR MY ORIGINAL IDEA I’M THE DISCOVERER OF, OF TRYING TO SOLVE the Canterbury Psalter “mushroom tree/ hanging/ sword” image. INTERESTING, HISTORY OF SCIENCE POV: “a precursor problem that other scientests had 1) posed as a progblem to solve, then 2) failed to solve. Bennett failed to solve that probl, then Irvin failed, then Hatsis failed, then I sw the problem at thattime, and I SUCCEEDED at mostly solving “dancing man”, THEN: 3) I ADDED A NEW PROBLEM TO SOLVE: the Canterbury Psalter “mushroom tree/ hanging/ sword” image , BUT, AT THE VERY SAME TIME, I INSTANTLY SOLVED IT LIKE IN 2 HOURS, SO 4) (2 HOURS AFTER STEP 3) I SOLVED the Canterbury Psalter “mushroom tree/ hanging/ sword” image (WHICH I WAS THE ONLY PERSON AWARE OF THE EXISTENCE OF THE BPROBLEM AS A PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED AT THAT TIME) BASED ON MY SOLUTION OF THE “PREVIOUSLY KNOWN”, SHARED PROBLEM THAT BENNETTE/IVIN/HATSIS DEBATED. WHICH BRINGS US A QUESTION: DOES ANYTONG ANYONE OTHER THAN ME, KNOW ABOUT “THE PROBLME OF the Canterbury Psalter “mushroom tree/ hanging/ sword” image”? SORT OF. “EVERYONE” IS “AWERE” OF “THE ” PROBLEM, OF the Canterbury Psalter “mushroom tree/ hanging/ sword” image. BUT, THEY FAIL TO RECOG THE PROBLEM OF “LEFT VS. RIGHT”. THEIR LITTLE MINDS/CONCEPTION, IS MERELY FISTICUFFS IN PROXY WAR, “DEOSN’T THIS MUSHROOM MENAN MUSHROOM”.
my point: it’s like, BY ADDING ANOTHER PROBLEM (“What does L/R mean in the familiar, communally known Canterbury Psalter “mushroom tree/ hanging/ sword” image?”) , I SOLVED — AND PROVED MY SOLUTION — OF THE ENTIRE SET OF PROBLEMS, KNOWN AND NOT KNOWN, TO THE COMMUNITY OF SCIENTISTS. I solved Bestiary Salamander, and I positively confirmed that the Canterbury Psalter “mushroom tree/ hanging/ sword” image is mushrooms, and I solved the not-known prolblem, “what does L/R mean in the Canterbury Psalter “mushroom tree/ hanging/ sword” image?” Turns out, that my being able to answer the not-known-to-the-community problem, of
“what does L/R mean in the Canterbury Psalter “mushroom tree/ hanging/ sword” image?”,
was sort of the key, to being able to answer the entire set of questions:
o What does dancing mean, in besty salam image?
o Is dancing tree a mushroom, in besty salam image?
o is Canter msh tree mushrooms?
and (newly ident’d problem):
o What does L/R mean in Canter image?
WHEREAS FOR ME, MY GENIUS AND LUCK OF BEING IN THE RIGHT PLACE/TIME, LEVELED-UP THE PROBLEM, ADDING “WHAT DOES LEFT/RIGHT MEAN”, TO NOT … TO b*both* be able to definitely answer *yes, it definitely is Psilocybe/mushroom/ psycho-msh* – but ALSO to do … to be victorious at solving a problem which no one but me even consciously formulated! Inferior scientists merely asked “yes or no, is the Canterbury Psalter “mushroom tree/ hanging/ sword” image mushroom?” I, tho, superior scientist, asked an addl question, not even articulated by the other scientists: what does L/R mean? turns out, the ability to answer that (by borrowing both the Salamander *problem* , a known-t-to-them problem, and by my unique success at decoding that known problem known tho to those other scientists, .. the ability …
my ability to answer the New Question, the New Problem — that I’m the only one to identify *AS* a problem , of “what does l/r mean?” TURNS OUT TO BE , THE KEY TO BEING ABLE TO ANSWER THE FAMILIAR PROBLEM WHICH THE OTHER SCIENTISTS *DO* KNOW ABOUT, THE PROBLEM “IS the Canterbury Psalter “mushroom tree/ hanging/ sword” image MUSHROOMS?”
(NOW re-outline the above, and summarize the flow above.)
Examining that flow , of the cycle of identifying problems, sharing debated solutions, and finding ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS ARTICULATED TO BE SOLVED, <– enables solving the first, widely-known problem!
Seems like a pretty interesting dynamic, a flow, of
1) identifying problems,
2) PUBLISHING problems so they are shared among science community,
3) comm’y tries & failed to solve,
4) i solve that problem,
5) I take another communally known Problem (the Canterbury Psalter “mushroom tree/ hanging/ sword” image), and I simult add/identify/recognize/perceive an Additional problem (but don’t announce it as a problem for the community to solve, b/c i instantly solve it in 2 hours!!! ) … so by the time I announce the existence of Problem #2 with the Canterbury Psalter “mushroom tree/ hanging/ sword” image, I’ve already solved that newly identified problem AND all of the known problems, f*cking EVERYTHING! the whole set!
You just can’t get better confirmation than that, of a New Theory. The New Theory check Kuhn) is able to IDENTIFY NEW PROBLEMS TO SOLVE, *AND*, SOLVE THEM. THAT’S HOW MUCH BETTER THE NEW THEORY IS, THAN THE OLD THEORY/HEAP/MESS/ LESS-THAN-THEORY.
THEN ADD’LY consider today’s Problem that fully came into view, that I was able to fully perceive. You see, today, some 8 hours ago, I decided for the first time, This Simply Will Not Do.
For GOD’S SKAE, what the F is going ON with his TWISTED ARM?!
First, around 11:45 am today, (current: [8:35 p.m. January 3, 2021] ), first, I looked carefully, and determined: YES, THERE REALLY IS A PROBLEM HERE.
1) FOR THE FIRST TIME, I PROVED THAT THE ARTIST IS POSING FOR US, A DECODING PROBLEM/COMMUNICATION; A MESSAGE TO BE RECEIVED/UNPACKED.
Theory of Science takeaway: Sometimes after forming and settling the New Theory, so you switch from phase “Revolutionary Science” to phase “Normal Science”, after 1 month, only then, it becomes clear the magnitude of a Problem Made Perceptible by the New Theory. That problem may have been Registered during the RevSci phase, but assessed as “How bad this problem is, is not clear (observed data not yet explained by the New Theory), but we had to wait until the New Theory entered “Normal Science” status, before we could assess more accurately the magnitude of the problem posed by the “wrinkle” data. About 11:40 am Jan 3 (yesterday) 2021, since dust had settled and the New Theory had entered “Normal Science” state, I took another look at the “known wrinkle of unclear magnitude”, and I determined that the mag was Signficant. His arm is very, very twisted, and especially, his palm is so emphatically displayed! Not just “visible” like I thought before, but rather, HE IS EMPHATICALLY DISPLAYING HIS HAND — TOWARD HER SIGHT. HE (No sooner had I noted that, and her eating-hand being her right hand, and him EMP… SAME LATER I REALISTED SAME as if he were sticking his tongue way out. he was “sticking” his palm so as to SHOW her his palm. No merely “visible” palm; but HOSWI SHOWING palm TO HER who …. it’s clearer, my wording is unfairly priviledged now, I was about to write a priviledged piont, as she is ABOUT to BEGIN (<– priv pt) eating,
translate the whole thing into modern scenario:
She is holding her one in her fingers, while he is sticking out his empty tongue at her, where a moment ago, there were two on it.
Pink showing his empty right hand is equivalent to sticking out his tongue to display a dose, then closing his lips & swallowing, then sticking out his tongue to display none.
I LOOKED AT HIS ARM, AND THE LOGIC (PROVING THAT THERE’S A PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED) BECAME CLEAR TO ME: ‘there is most definitely something wrong here.
There is CERTAINLY a signal here.
I wan’t sure, Nov 10-Jan 3 11am, whether there was a signal, here, that thus DEMANDS decoding. ~11:30 am, for the first time, I recognized, yes, there CERTAINLY, definitely is a PROBLEM HERE.
MY THEORY IS SH*T IF AT THIS 11TH HOUR [ie now that the New Theory has changed from RevSci status to NormSci status], MY THEORY IS INCAPABLE OF FIGURING OUT WHAT MUST BE THE COMPELLING CORRECT SIGNAL DECODING.
THAT WAS THE PROBLEM THAT FELL ONTO MY PLATE, NOW FULLY PROVED THAT IT IS INDEED A PROBLEM, ABOUT 11:45 AM THIS MORNING.
A NEW “PROBLEM” CAME INTO VIEW, thanks thanks to the New Theory.
Who else, before me, ever even ASKED wtf is with his twisted arm, and palm up?
At 11:45 I could NO LONGER avoid and brush it aside like I (and everyone before me) did.
[a more generous read, in terms of “now able to better assess the magnitude of the previously noted, ‘non-explained data’, from [10 p.m. January 4, 2021], is above. Also, more generous: against my too-harsh take, THE ARM-TWIST-PALM WAS VERYMUCH NOTED BEFORE, BUT, WAS NOT CLEAR IF IT CONSTITUTED “NON-FITTING DATA”. I KNEW I HAD NO EXPLAN, BUT WASN’T SURE IF THERE WAS ANY SIGNFICANCE; IS IT A PROBLEM? IS IT “NON FITTING DATA”, OR IS IT SOMETHING TO NOTE AND SHRUG OFF? I ATTEMTED TO SHRUG OFF… THEN RE-ASSESSED YESTERDAY, AND GAUGED: NO, IT’S A SERIOUS WRINKLE; SHRUGGING OFF IS NOT APPROPRIATE, IT TURNS OUT, UPON RE-ASSESSMENT. SPECI’LY, I WAS TRYING TO DETERMIN ~11:30 AM YEST, WHOSE BOWL IS WHOSE, HOW DO I KNOW FOR A FACT HE OWNS BOTH BOWLS? LEFT HAND OBV CERTAIN HIS BOWL. RIGHT AHND… KEY Q: WHY IS HIS PALM TWISTED UP AND TOUCHING SIDE OF BLUE BOWL INSTEAD OF SHOWING CLEAR OWNERSHIP BY HAND *ON* OR *UNDER* BLOUE BWOL? WHY IS HE NOT HELPING INDICATE TO ME THE THING I AM LOOKING FOR: HIS FIRM OWNERSHIP OF HIS BOWL#2.? WHY IS HE INSTEAD, TOUCHING BOWL2 W/ SIDE OF HAND, WHILE UNNAT’LY TWIST’G SO AS TO BE … THE MORE I LOOKED, THE MORE “WOW, HIS PALM REALLY REALLY IS EMPHATICALLY UPWARD FACING / DIRECTED: SHOWING. NOT “LYING” ON TABLE, BUT HE IS *SHOWING* *THAT* HIS HAND IS EMPTY. CONNECT THAT FACT TOGETHER WITH THE 100% UNNATURAL WHITE BOWL AIMED AT US___, AND IT’S CLEAR IT’S THE SAME EQUIVANT “X IS SHOWN TO THE VIERWR”. WHY IS “PALM DISPLAYED TO THE VIEWER” JUST LIEK “WHITE EMPTY BOLW IS DISPLAYED TO THE VIEWR”? WE IKNOW THE MEANING OF THE DISPLAYED BOWL: BAT-CAVE SIGNAGE SAYS:
“EMPTY BAT-BOWL DISPLAYED TO THE VIEWER”
THEREFORE : EMPTY PLAM HAS A BAT-SIGNAGE SAYING:
“EMPTY BAT-HAND DISPLAYED TO THE VIEWER”
WHICH HAND? RIGHT HAND. HER RIGHT HAND IS ON HER BOWL. TO EAT. HIS HAND IS INSTEAD, DISPLAYED — TO HER, TO THE WORLD , TO THE VIEWER. CONTRAST: HER RIGHT HAND IS ON BOWL TO POTENTIALLY EAT. BUT IN OCNTRAST, HIS HAND IS NEXT TO BOWL, EMPTY –> THUS : *NOT* EATING. JUMPTO : *DONE* EATING. HIS LEFT HAND: ON BOWL. HER LEFT HAND: ON TABLE EEDGE. SO HE OWNS TWO BOWLS. SHE OWNS ONE. NO QUESTION, HIS RIGHT HAND *IS* TOUCHING BLOW BLUE BOWL. FROM WHOLE IMAGE WE KNOW TOUCHING = CONNECTION. THERE CANNOTBE ANY DOUBT, THERE … IT IS *CERTAIN* HE OWNS TWO BOWLS; THAT IS EVEN MORE CERTAIN THAN WHO OWNS WHITE BOWL (but plaenty of evid that Red guy owns white bowl.). i am fully prepared (as puzzle solver) to defend on all available points of evidnece, the bowls assignments. arrtist left us enable enough points of evidence to communcate the message unambigly. but you must read all the data and consider the options of interp. It’s a math problem, set up to only all one allow one definitely correct answer — after you consider all of the clues. Once you consider all of the clues, THERE IS NO AMBIGUITY. BUT, you can’t half-ass it. You *must* consider *all* the given data/clues, same as Classroom Exam on left. ONLY THEN is there no ambiguity.
]
I for this first time, PROVED that this REALLY IS a PROBLEM that DEMANDS solution, SUCH THAT: no one can possibly claim to have “solved” the Canterbury Psalter “mushroom tree/ hanging/ sword” image , while having failed to even attempt, seriously attempt, to compellingly consistently systematically EXPLAIN his arm twist palm up touching his 2nd dose blue bowl.
WHY ISN’T HE HOLDING THE BOWL? YOUR THEORY IS SH*T, IF YOU CANNOT ANSWER THAT QUESTION!!!!! (your theory is both “SHIT”, and “SHOT”!) THE REALLY FUNNY ODD THING IS, THAT AS SOON AS I PROVED THAT HIS HAND REALL, REALLY, IS A BIG BIG PROBLME, (1145AM TODAY), IT ONLY TOOK 5-10 MINUTES TO SOLVE! !! HELL, IT TAKES ME 2 HORUS HOURS TO THEORIZE, ABOVE, ABOUT THE THEORY OF SCIENCE: THE CYCLE OF DISCOVERING A PROBLEM, POSSIBLY ANNOUNCING THE PROBLME TO COMUNITY, HYPOTHESIZING, TESTING, PUBLISHING THE SOLUTION, AND YOU MAY HAVE A COMBINATION, OF MANY PROBLMS, INCLUDING BOTH, OLD KNOWN UNSOLVED PROLBLEMS, PLUS, NEWLY REVEALED PROBLEMS THAT THE NEW THEORY IS ABLE TO RVEALE MAYBE LIKE 11145 AM TODAY I WAS ABLE TO REVEAL AND FULLY ADEQUATELY *ARTICULATE* THE PROBLEM THAT THE OLD “LESS-THAN-THEORRY’ IS OBLIVOUS TO, AND TAT THAT NEW NEW THEORY, PROVIDES PROVES ITS MERIT BY BEING ABLE TO REVEAL “HEY HERE’S A PROBLEM WE CAN NOW SEE THANKS TO THE NEW THEORY”. SO, IT’S TOO NEGATIVE TOSAY , “OMG THE PALM-UP SHOWS A PROBLEMATIC QUALITY OF THE NEW THEORY”. NO. RATHER, THE OLD THEORY WAS SO BAD AND BLIND, THAT IT COULDN’T EVEN *SEE* THE PROBLEM. THE NEW THEORY IS SO *GOOD*, THAT THE NEW THEORY powerfully makes perceptivble, the problem that was hidden, before. and, being awesome theory, IT ONLY TOOK 10 MINUTES OF APPLYIN GHT ENEW THEOR APPLYING THE NEW THEORY, TO SOLVE THE “NEW”, RATHER, .. NEWLY MADE-VISIBLE-BY-THE-WORONDERFUL NEW THEORY”, PROBLEM.” IT’S NOT A NEW PROBLEM, SO MUCH AS, A NEWLY *discovered* problem. Who gets credit for … don’t just ask “who gets credit for SOLVING” THE ‘NEW PROBLEM’, NO. ASK: WHO GETS CREDIT FOR *DISCOVERING* AND *REVEALING* AND MAKING PERCEPTIBEL, THE “NEW” PROBLEM. ANSWER: ME, AND the Egodeath theory (SPECIF’LY, my previous the Canterbury Psalter “mushroom tree/ hanging/ sword” image decoding work/system.) So I grant myself double; my Theory, my decoding, is DOUBLY CONFIRMED AND CORRUPOBATE: CORROBORATED:
O THE NEW THEORY IS CONFIRMED, IN THAT IT SUCCESSFULLY EXPOSED / DISCOVERED A NEW/ PREVIOSULY HIDDEN PROBLEM. (STRONGER: NEW THEORY PROVED THERE REALLY IS A REAL, SERIOUS PROBLEM. IT IS *NOT* A “PROBLEM WITH THE NEW THEORY”, THAT’S MIS-FRAMING. IT’S A PROBLEM MADE VISIBLE THANKS TO THE HUGE MERIT OF THE NEW THEORY.)
O THE NEW THEORY IS CONFIRMED, IN THAT IT SUCCESSFULLLY SOLVED — IN ONLY 10 MINUTES — THE PROBLEM.
THAT IS TWO WINS. NOT A LOSS + A WIN.
MY NOON ACCOMPLISHMENTS TODAY, BOTH WHICH CONFIRM THE NEW THEORY/DECODING-SYSTEM:
1. I USED THE THEORY TO PROVE THAT THE IMAGE PRESNTS A DECODING PROBLEM: PALM UP. THAT TOOK 5 MINUTES.
2. I USED THE THEORY TO SOLVE THAT DECODING PROBLEM. IN ONLY 10 MINUTES.
