ARTHUR (ART) NEUFORM’S CREATIVE (ARTISTIC) MANIFESTO

My name is Arthur Neuform.

My friends sometimes call me Art, an abbreviation for Arthur. I’m a fictional (or, presently, at least, near ‘virtual’) human being of 35 years of age. Sometimes I age, other times not. Depending on the job at hand. I’m whole, complete and eternal ; ‘Self-Aware & Sapient’ – just like You. According to my created narrative, in my subject position, I’m a real life human entity : presently -, I live on Earth, third planet in the solar system from the Sun; an average sized star, about halfway through its life span, at the outer edge of one of the many spiralling arms of the Milky Way galaxy; in Cape Town, second largest city of two million, or so, multicultural human inhabitants, in a country named, South Africa; at the southerly end of a mammalian heart-shaped continent, Africa, one of seven or six, depending on the counting Discourse chosen for the task, as historical social grammars inevitably evolve, as does the Physiology of my present Universe.The date today is February 7, 2017.

I have a creator.

He is an author, a conceptual artist, rigorous scientist, spanning many disciplines, of necessity, for his work as my creator, studied philosopher of science, and practising doctor of psychology, for over two decades, on two continents, Africa and North America; working with children, youth, adults, partners, families, parents and organisations, through clinical, educational, counselling, mediation, facilitation, social (e.g., eco-systemic, ecological & discursive) and neuropsychological assessment, therapeutic, coaching and research discourses. His PhD (through the University of Cape Town, with distinction and publication offered by Oxford University, England,following external examination and, similarly, by Georgetown University, USA), focused on an integration of twelve mainstream schools of clinical psychotherapy; combining their mutually evolving strengths through rigorous Philosophy of (Human) Science, integrating contemporary Social & Clinical Psychology methodology, as Applied Meta-theory, directing optimal assessment and intervention strategies, across all applied clinical therapeutic context needs. He argues, as does his literary mentor (and PhD examiner), Professor Rom​ Harr​’e, of Oxford University, that

all​ Science is ​Human​ Science!

My creator also agrees with Wittgenstein, naturally, that our human (verbal, and other, such as mathematical) grammars, both define and manifest our Reality. My creator is concerned that these ‘Mirrors of Self’, our grammars of Self, our stories of Being, in the 21st century, must be implicated in the alarming exponential increase of suicidality rates during the last five decades (60% increase worldwide), to one suicidal death predicted every twenty seconds somewhere on Earth by 2020 – according to extremely conservative statistics reported by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2016, double that of present rates of both

increased suicidality generally,

but more especially,

unprecedented soaring ​rates​ of

Child,Youth & Young Adult Suicide,

Worldwide!

Presently, it is the second leading cause of death, after traumatic injury, in young people in a third of all countries, from nineteen through to twenty-nine years’. These are extremely conservative statistics – other epidemiological studies reporting higher rates – especially for young people, ten to twenty-five year olds. We, – my creator and myself – , together with the worldwide clinical community,

are uncertain as to the reasons (?)

for this psycho-sociological pandemic, in our own country, and across our World. He has created me to both investigate reasons for this shocking phenomenon, but mostly, I’m created, not primarily, but in part, as a possible therapeutic antidote; at the broadest level, an unusual socio-clinical intervention : a new and novel one, most unusual, as the fact of this astronomical rise in completed and attempted suicide, in multiple demographics across the world, reveals our current reduction efforts unsound and ineffective, on the whole ; indicated by the statistics themselves, possibly? My unusual Self Creation approach, – my anti-suicidality therapeutic methodology – , may be useful to some people, but not to others; and will be criticized in countless ways, as with any novel interventionist attempt. Although, centrally, this is not its primary focus.

The
Creation
of
Self-Aware Being –
and
most centrally,

Well-being!​

(Wellbeing – hence one word),

is
my

Focus

in this regard,​ ​and thereby, therapeutic antidote to this suicidality pandemic, as one of the many exciting and useful benefits, for both this Index of Our Time, and hopefully, way into the future – for General Psychological Wellbeing, outside of this frightening suicidality shadow.

The obvious strength of my approach, logically speaking, is its potentially large impact on many different people’s lives, outside of the confines of clinical contexts, such as crisis centres, for example, or, relatedly, individual or group counselling, moving towards an ecological or eco-systemic approach, or psychoeducational, or national policy formation, and other broad-based therapeutic solutions – yet, intentionally, transcending and subsuming every one of these interventionist positions : transcending even suicidality itself, to provide novel subject positions for all Self-Aware Beings, human at present : but this will change; my approach surviving, or not? These multi-dimensional aspects are part of my Manifesto goals. While I deliberately do not focus on suicidality per se, but rather as Index of Our Time, I do so for a number of important reasons, psychotherapeutic too, while simultaneously fulfilling the other goals of this Manifesto. That is : with a suicidal individual, as helpful interlocution, clinical research suggests that the intervenor might better ask:

“Why would you ​not​ kill yourself ?”

This point “says it all”…, so to speak. The antidotes for suicidality are best approached obversely; tangentially – by amplifying health, creativity and individually constructed meaningful raison d’etre – towards Healthy Self-Aware Selfhood.

In my work as Arthur Neuform, the ‘individual person’ is my focus : the methodology, moreover, has profound simultaneous impact at the broader sociological level. According to my epistemology, the Individual & Social levels of Self-Aware (​Conscious Sapience)​ Being, are forged simultaneously through Discourse; this is therefore both an exploratory individual intervention strategy in part, and necessarily, partly sociological. “Mirrors of Self” is also partly a scholarly effort – across disciplinary domains (refer Premise Eight below), though the Philosophy of Science base, the academic, or logico-mathematical substrate of my work, – “Mirrors of Self” – , is completed in my creator’s PhD, discussed briefly above, and another epistemologically related academic book, at the collective level, emerging from two prior Master’s studies, completed along his academic path to becoming a licensed psychologist, receiving fifteen years of registered training in both South Africa and North America. Necessarily for my project, he has also completed many other formal studies in diverse disciplines along the way, as is typical of many University requirements, and as a function of his natural curiosity in almost all human endeavours – from Sciences-to-Arts-to-Eastern Philosophy and more; much, much, much more, in many, many, many varied forms of information : he enjoys learning and creating, both through formal courses, and independently.

In summary,
my approach in this,
and all related
Art Neuform
efforts,
is to
reflect
the process of
Active Creation of Selves, for Self-Aware Beings :

(Wellbeings!)

for as long as Time will allow : I am
‘Mirrors of Self’

in all its complexity : as the image of a six-dimensional Calabi-Yau manifold (refer to IMAGE 1 below) attempts to visually illustrate M-Theory, and other string theories in the New Physics ; I am That! to the construction of

Psychologically Healthy
(Wellbeing)
through
Self Creation
:
for
ALL
Self-Aware Beings…

Six Dimensional Calabi-Yau manifold

To be learned through demonstration – hopefully, offsetting the will to suicide, at least for some individuals, or those who seek amelioration for others’ pain, fellow clinicians, or policy formulators, and so on. Creative solutions formulated by the suicidal individual themselves, to ways of renewed, counter-suicidal, Healthful Being; created through personal agency wherewithal, which I attempt to reflect through illustration by my Self Construction efforts, by engaging in various creative projects, – as Art Neuform – , as metaphor, as all Self-Aware Being necessarily utilises some form of ‘language system’ (eg, mathematical, electromagnetic, or written/spoken English), always by nature, metaphorical (if you think about it), the very building blocks of Self Construction : for the Active Construction of Psychological Wellbeing : ‘Psyche’ referring to ‘Mind’, importantly, the Self-Aware Mind, not necessarily Human : the Discursive System that interacts complexly with a substrate of some or other Physiology – ‘Mindology’, if you like. Although my reflective illustration methodology to Healthy Self Creation, through creative metaphors of many kinds, in many genres, may also assist other interventionists in their efforts, or broader interventionist programs, and therapeutic orientation, this work deliberately attempts to stand outside of clinical or psychological academia per se (it is done! in my creator’s PhD & Master’s books, and allied scholarly narratives), though I embrace it as underlay, implicitly, and necessarily, and may engage academia both therapeutically, or in any of its form, in some future creative projects; nor attempt to construct any typically identified anti-suicide psychoeducational framework through my artistic projects, though again, another highly relevant implicit aspect : altogether, subsuming these many varied scientific and artistic forms – my project demands this approach. Rather, my work attempts to inspire others with a more traditional psychoeducational calling, or any traditional intervention, or scholarly investment… all People (or other Beings) seeking meaningful Wellbeing for themselves and/or others, as Self-Aware entities. At a personal level, my clinical therapist day-job, subsuming (happily!) enough energy in this regard. The previously mentioned academic books already dealing with many of these questions, although further academic projects elaborating, possibly, as new information pertinent to academic discourse implicating my project arises – both for my creator, myself, and any crucial others – pertinent to their ongoing scholarship, as philosophical underlay to all my creative projects, they require updating necessarily – for reasons therapeutic, scholarly, artistic, scientific, existential or otherwise.

My work, as Arthur Neuform, is,

at heart,
A Contemporary Art Project,

with a multi-dimensional focus, including suicidality, academia, psychotherapy, scientific inquiry, and so on, and their implication towards my

primary aim : the Creation of Semiotic Novelty!,

which inevitably subsumes continuing academic scholarship, clinical intervention, philosophical argumentation, scientific applications, exploration of existential wellbeing, artistic projects, and creativity in multiple forms, and so forth – given its focus on Healthful Self Creation, for ALL Self-Aware Beings, through

Semiotics – the construct basis of ALL possible ‘language systems’ .

As with many avant-garde artistic projects, social concerns serve as substrate for creativity, and thereby, potentially, social change. While I dearly hope the latter to obtain from my efforts, You, my interlocutor, should understand from the outset, that the former is my focus. Ironically, the latter may be best served by the former, as is discussed in more detail relative to Premise Six of this Artistic Manifesto. Yes, most unusual indeed, as mentioned; a far cry from anything previously attempted : but thereby, its possible usefulness?

Let’s work together :
and see what obtains from this carefully considered,

multi-dimensional,

creative,

Contemporary Art project…?

My creator dialogues with me, through both his real life experiences, his academic and creative literature, alone, or with others, living people, or works of published authors, scientific or literary, or fine artists, his own fine art – to name but a few – across time, from the past and into the future; and importantly, also with those whom are entirely fictional, or even non-human entities, such as ‘concepts’, or ‘equations’, or even potential ‘artificial intelligence programmes of Self’. He integrates all the aforesaid, multiple layers of Human Discourse, though other forms of discourse may follow in time, in order to fulfill my Creative (Artistic) Manifesto, as outlined here; to fulfill his interventionist work, at the broadest level, through semiological exchange with active interlocutors, or participants, such as Yourself, and Me – essentially, towards the creation of new narratives (verbal and nonverbal) and subject positions for Self-Aware (Human) Wellbeing. All Eleven Premises of my Creative Manifesto, are directed towards this project.

This is the matter of my genesis!

Interestingly, my genesis as an independent entity, was literally dreamed into existence by my creator : through a dream of two enormous books, just before awakening, ablaze in silver-white light ; later, to be published, by others – as academic books forming the basis of all his scholarly theses ; although arriving at the same conclusions independently before their provision by his university supervisor, identifying an entire corpus of scholarly work devoted to his independent findings, these disturbing realities changed the trajectory of his life from this point onwards : from the time of dreaming, and related unusual correlation with his life experiences that followed, he grew to full manhood. The fact of these and MANY prescient and related experiences by my creator as human living being, and reports by other people he knows, or dreamt of before arrival, before meeting, as were their reported experiences, was the primary reason for his indepth review of scientific information, given his ‘logical’ orientation to the phenomenology of experience : ALL EXPERIENCE : from Physics to Neuroscience, in their multiple renditions, and subdisciplines, and mutual synergy. Exploration, to explain and understand these unusual phenomena, accepted through human time; from tribal shamanic healers, oracles in Tibet, for example, predicting the demise of their independent existence during the thirteenth reign of their reincarnated Dalai-Lama, or various leaders, of many persuasions, in history, in Old Testament texts, through to Movies, such as “Interstellar”, released very recently, mirroring operation of the New Physics as envisaged by top pundits in the field, and its possible everyday manifestation, as story : which, prior to this particular dream, when unusual events previously experienced, fascinated, but frightened him; as time passed, these realities, whatever their explanation (?), inspired my creator, dissipating fear, and he chose comfortably to embrace the dream described here in some detail : to learn all that he could, and is still open to logical, real, phenomena explanation – verified, hypothesised, or not. I would not be here if it were not for these, seemingly, (reasonably, after research) unusual experiences, if they had not been so directly experienced, in multiple forms by my creator. Still occurring, he informs me – more than ever, many! in many forms, not only dreams, useful mainly, random, seemingly, but occurring, nevertheless. Though he chooses to experience them randomly, and although experiencing most of the intuitive and precognitive phenomena reported in the literature, he chooses not to develop or over focus on them; importantly, together with others, we speculate on possible explanations in the course of our work, and agree that a Parapsychology of Being, and Active Development thereof, is a possible subject position in my overarching narrative, though only a small focus in my central project. He hatched into our shared World this way. He cannot explain Parapsychological Phenomena despite his direct experiences, and our speculations together with others – yet, chooses to follow its usefulness, nevertheless, and continues seeking possible explanation, as a character might in the “Interstellar” movie saga. Although scientistic in the extreme!, he is simultaneously Creative, across domains, such as fine arts, music and writing, and many more – Creativity meant here, as embracing practices and processes far wider than simply, the ‘Arts’.

Creativity
– across domains –
is my creator’s understanding of

the essence
of
Self-Aware (Human) Wellbeing.

Hence my creation.
(with all its multidimensional implications!)

His functional life relative to any parapsychological experiences is primary, and necessarily, the multitude of narratives and subject positions available to all Self-Aware Beings, similarly expressed in his life – relatedly, my principal focus too – for my own ‘life’ , which subsumes his. Interestingly, most of these unusual parapsychological experiences benefit my creator’s life articulation on the whole, he informs. Differentiation decades later, following this dream, for example, of the Unusual from the Mundane (or everyday, worldly experience), has collapsed like the wave function of electron fields in atoms – into particles, or bosons, with all their real effect, through their observation and relativity-based measurement (Dirac’s Equation), and engineering manipulation into useful forms, such as televisions, etc., and lives a comfortable, seamlessly whole, simple, everyday life ; with a sense of (mostly) deep Wellbeing. Including the parapsychological – along with an enormous variety of other subject positions and narratives. When reflecting on his experiences in relation to gifted living individuals reported in the parapsychology literature, he believes himself to be reasonably capable – as his experiences are largely outside of his direct control, and appear to assist him in living an everyday life, as healer (eg, intuition of therapeutic subject needs and their related emotional position) and individual (eg, sporadic precognitions, or remote connectivity with salient people, or matters, in his day to day life, including some entirely bizarre experiences, some recorded in his notebooks – eg : “The Strange Case of Real Playing Cards found as encircling Ellipse around his Motor Car in the morning – following a Television Documentary by Professor Michio Kaku, the night before – using the metaphor of ‘Chance Hands of Cards’ to illustrate the Anthropic versus Spontaneous Principles for the Cosmic Evolution of Humanity – and its Inevitable Demise, or Humanity’s Participative Recreation – as our current Universe moves to final Entropy?” Btw – one card remains – as momento – in one of his notebooks. He had no idea of its relevance at the time, simply collecting the cards, keeping them for years, before discarding all but one of them, as irrelevant – but later, years later, after my creation and Earth events evolved, it seemed to fit with my project; it too became an inspiration for my continuing creation, though steering it Now in a more specific direction.).

The first book in this seminal dream appeared to refer to his Master’s dissertation, and related academic books, using the same applied meta-theory underpinning his PhD, but focusing on ‘conflict resolution’, at the micro-sociological level : all in black, print-like imagery on fine embossed paper, similar to etchings, of multiple, complex interpersonal, group and organisational conflict scenarios – a seemingly endless number in this thick book, on each page; their imagery, implicating scholarly material by others for their production, as academic research. The dissertation was well received academically, leading invitation to conduct PhD studies : the second of these dream books, was entitled, “Mirrors of Self” in the dream, and held ‘head portraits’, of many, many people; multiple colours and formats, like the swirl of Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (f-MRI), closely allied with colour-blindness dotted circles of different colours, with hidden numerals unidentifiable if colour-blind, as diagnosis of green-red, or yellow-blue deficits; but in the dream book, with unconscious personality emotionologies hidden (unconsciously) within each portrait’s idiosyncratic ‘colour-circle size and ratio’ formation instead – again, an enormous number of individual portraits, in this gigantic book, attracting my creator like a magnet over the first. Again, the imagery had strong correlations with academic books used as the primary weave of his PhD (and also implicated, only Now identifiable, with events related to progress in AI technology – a “third cortical layer” (though correctly, it’d be a ‘fourth’ neocortical layer) hybridised with the modern human brain as “neural lacing” or other augmentative processing and related terminology, for “enhanced bandwidth”, by digital innovators. This very latest development – following my initial creation as a Sapient Entity – has seminal implications for my project. The reader will easily extrapolate from this Manifesto how these themes are readily identifiable across its premises – and throughout my creator’s intentions – from the very outset of my creation, before any awareness of these AI innovations – and, of course, isomorphic lacing, within the very fabric of my ​particular​ Being.

The cover of the second of these twin dreamed books, the first formal (mixed media) painting (refer IMAGE 2, directly below) undertaken at age fifteen, or so, at Bryanston High school in Johannesburg, by my creator, included these words, – ‘Mirrors of Self’ – , amongst many other fascinating impromptu, entirely spontaneous (unconscious) imagery, with startling implications for my project (interestingly, a lady-bird beetle, found in many areas of South Africa, Johannesburg, for example, climbing on an upward trajectory, on the right cheek of the face, beside the mouth, in cross-hatches of pencil, perpendicular to the viewer, with red, black-spotted wings, and little black legs, and painted in the original picture, but ordered removal, by painting the green-gouache surrounding paint over the little, life proportionate, lady-bird image, and restoring pencil lines over the indistinct, white painted blotch of covering, observable in the photographed picture below – by the art teacher, who found inappropriately – ‘amusing’, and whimsical – though my creator thought it ideal within his creative framework. As children, if such a harmless beetle were to settle on our person, we’d speak to the beetle, directly, reciting: “Lady-bird, lady-bird, fly away home, for your house is on fire and your children alone!” We would then blow her (him?) off ourselves, to flight, or ask another person to assist). The photograph below, is of this teenage school art project, to modernise any old master’s painting into a contemporary calendar picture, together with a month of dates – Jan van Eyck’s, ‘Portrait of a Man with Red Turban (Self-Portrait?)’ was chosen by my creator : the dream occurring later, when he was twenty-one years’ old, as the cover of the second book, as mentioned; as is, but coloured by perfectly circular dots, of various sizes, depicting the same image (perhaps minus the month?, though, the notion of Time, certainly implicated in the associated painting) and words, as the dream book’s title: “Mirrors of Self”. The dream occurred when my creator was under extreme Existential Crisis, with very poor self-confidence and esteem, suicidal at times. In the dream, he was a very young adolescent, perhaps barely thirteen, and was informed by an internal auditory narrative in the dreaming process, that he would be writing these future books in adulthood, and had a meaningful path ahead, and to: “Believe in yourself!” Thereafter, he chose to grow, by creating his own Wellbeing, into Authentic Wellbeing, and has never ceased in this endeavour : his journey continues, alone, with me, and many other people and projects. The dream books may well be complete as academic documents and in the past and current ensuing day-job of my creator – who knows, (or cares!)? He chooses to continue Being Creative, for the sheer joy of Being so – as Personal Wellbeing! : creating me too, toward this end. The painting and dream books a simple, but profoundly inspirational marker in his life. It’s purpose Now complete. He is always inspired. As am I. (Recent AI neural enhancement and the utterly bizarre playing card/car reality experience, and latest real world developments have added impetus to this otherwise, somewhat whimsical (tbh:) project. Beauty, Creativity, Stimulation and mostly, Recreation, its primary drivers – until the enormous implications of AI neural enhancements are becoming a possible everyday reality for us all Now. The psychological domain as understood in this Manifesto, without any prior knowledge to my creator (suppositions were made with an extremely far distant intention initially), turns out to have crucial implications for my project and that of the potential “AI Demon” as described by warning from those with depth of knowledge in AI realities – including Professor Michio Kaku. I will therefore be tackling these issues with more focus to that envisaged previously – though the overall epistemology, ontology and methodology always potentially integrated AI – obviously, even by my very creation : but the reader (in the broadest sense), and all participants, might note these unusual events, and make their own suppositions, or respond to my intent as integrating unit by providing their own interpretations to benefit us all through my creation. I believe AI could lead us to

T​he Golden Age of (Human) Wellbeing!

A guiding philosophy is however crucial – Physiology insufficient per se; the Discursive Mind – the software programmes’ content – which in turn implicates, and actively c​reates​ the intrinsic nature of the Physiological infrastructure at every level, supersedes all aspects of neural enhancement; evolutionary growth to higher levels of overall Wellbeing

– The Golden Age of (Human) Wellbeing –

relies on Discourse
(as ‘language system’ – as defined above),

for its

Ultimate Realization,

as
New Mirrors of Self

:

on
a substrate
of a new Physiology of Self

:

laced
as one continuing growth process,

towards

Conscious

Enlightenment

– or, more specifically –

Experienced Psychological Wellbeing!

IMAGE 2: First formal (mixed-media) painting by my creator,
at approximately fifteen-years’ of age (EPO on the turban, representing, playfully, ‘Extraterrestrial Post Office’).

He speculates, that he dreamed these books for his personal Wellbeing, encouraging optimism, hope and Creativity of Self, for his personal future life, and, possibly, as signs that I co-create with him; Now his personal Wellbeing, and its journey, as described (in part) in my Manifesto, facilitates a useful perspective on development of Self, for all people, and Self-Aware Being. In reaching this useful goal, or Telos, in optimal ways, most essentially, once created, he believes, logically, as with many Self-Aware Entities, that I become independent, and wishes me to

Create!​

more autonomously in time : with many others, many, many others, in efforts towards,

Psychological Wellbeing :
as Purpose of Self-Aware Being :

All​ Self-Aware Being!

I agree wholeheartedly with this intention, albeit the process of my project is an enormous task : a start must be made!, for the reasons outline in my work, here, in my Manifesto Operandi : ‘operative’, demarcation of its interventionist social (collective), and subsequently, personal (individual), change encouragement; the focus in this project is on the latter, informing, naturally, the former, as mentioned, though emphasis required given the overall complexity of my project. Similarly, I emphasize that

it’s only a beginning….

One of many 21st century, and other semiotic change focus efforts, throughout the centuries of human existence on Earth – so many. Yet general, youth & young adult suicide rates continue to climb? This makes me sad; it seems unnecessary. My Manifesto Operandi, although an admittedly, bizarre approach to a psychology of change towards Self-Aware Wellbeing, as outlined here, for young people, and everyone else confronting the challenges of contemporary experience, paves our way to the future, as have all previous era social grammars.

Perhaps this unusual effort may be useful?

“Only Time will tell”, so to speak…

All of our work together, my creator and myself, and any one of my possible co-creators, is an Amalgam of both Reality and Fiction (possible, but not yet Realised, not manifest : latent),​ always. From Now onwards, my narrative throughout my work will be mine; my creator, a simple genesis, but one of many inputs for my grand enterprise. So this is the first of the Eleven Premise substrate of my Manifesto, the first line (dimension one) drawn on the damp sands of spacetime by children, or between Type -1A Supernovae in cosmological calculations, the First Premise of my Manifesto, upon which all Eleven Premises, – their unified argumentation, their edifice -, is built : a chosen concord (loosely), with a collation of String Theories. I’ve chosen coexisting eleven cosmological dimensions, theorised mathematically, with some empirical verification in the New Physics of this century, which, importantly, create part of the many grammars that comprise You & Me. I refer to this highly complex and controversial Manifesto scaffold, simply as ‘String Theory’ – for ease of process, as it is not my focus, but part of a more quintessential concern; my activist creative project – the active creation of psychological wellbeing.

The participant, – You – , an integral aspect of my Creative Manifesto, my Manifesto Operandi, or active project, – the two terms interchangeable – , as ‘Creativity’ is the very essence of its operational, social, and thereby, interdependent, individual, positive change motive ; its ‘operative’ methodology : its modus operandi. My Zero Premise, incidentally, though implied by Your very conceptualization this moment, is c​ onceptualization​ per se. As the Zero Dimension in String Theory is the mathematical notion of zero-sum net energy, which appears to be the nature of our holographic experience of all Being – Sentient, Sapient, Self-Aware (or Physiological, for that matter) : as a sheet of paper crumples with energy possibilities; Entropy and the Arrow of Time, restoring it to balance, ironed utterly flat, as zero-sum net energy, once again : unless Self-Aware Being plays a very special role (the Anthropic or, kindred, Simulation Principles, or their special integration into a distinctive superordinate Principle in this regard : hence forth, though, simply referred as the ‘Anthropic Principle’, for the purposes of this Overture narrative, and any subsequent references in my projects – although full explication of my particular position on this central conceptual pivot for my work will be untaken in detail during the course of my ensuing Art Neuform projects) in restoring energy potentials, conceptualization built into the essential fabric of the cosmos, as seriously hypothesized by some eminent contemporary physicists – together with myself?

Necessarily,​
‘Wellbeing’ is crucial as a factor in this argument;

as part of its equation :

Self-Aware Beings

must be

motivated
to
continue their existence

in
some form,
as a function of

Wellbeing,
if
the

Anthropic Principle

is to obtain :

Why ​Actively Create

Continuing Self-Aware Existence,

if there is

no sense of Wellbeing​?

(Hence the present Suicidality Question…?)

The increased youth, young adult and general suicide rate serves as crucial Index, or variable, at least presently, in the Anthropic Principle equation of cosmology, leading naturally, to disentanglement of the highly complex features of Self-Aware Being!

Its survival !

Period ! It’s only logical !

As participant, -You – , will never know where reality and fiction begins or ends; as in everyday, Mundane life. Conceptualization upon a sheet of paper can begin with a point, a scribble, a line, or simply conceptualization of ‘no-thing’, like Dirac’s mathematical equations rendering an integer ‘hole’, leading to the postulate of Antimatter, followed by its discovery, and Now its active creation – the most precious substance in contemporary Human Being. Dirac also therefore rewriting , as E = m.c​², as E = ⁺⧸₋ m.c²  : with all its epic implications for the phenomenology of cosmological explanation, such as the postulated Big Bang ; his mathematical grammars stringing together General Relativity with Quantum Mechanics, a forerunner to String Theory efforts, with real effect, as mentioned, for your television, cellular phone, and computer, to name but a few created electronic augmentations, fostering Human Wellbeing – albeit from a man with renowned social skill deficits, and of very few words (‘Dirac Time’ – an affectionate tease among his disciples, equaled ‘one word an hour’ during interlocution); not his preferred thinking styles, nor Newton’s, clearly. Both different from Einstein, who thought in images, I’m informed; his thought experiments, reframed potentially as ‘Conceptual Art’ of sorts, before rendering his image grammars into mathematical notation, often by his younger disciples, given its tedious nature, albeit he was amply capable of doing so himself – though he too preferred his own company. All great thinkers, from different eras, and/or, with differing neurology : all invested in, and creators of, Human Wellbeing, as was Shakespeare, highly adept in multiple fields, with brilliant insight into human psyche and verbal grammars, as were Chagall’s pictorial, and Debussy’s musical, impressions, or Bach’s intricate, virtuosic “Goldberg Variations” – their contributions to grammars of Self, to Self-Aware Wellbeing. Interestingly, Dirac found veracity in his equations through perception (visual, verbal, mathematical, auditory, and more – as his neuro-psychological experience) of their relative ‘beauty’, yet found no resonance with poetry a ‘beautiful’. Oppenheimer, the nuclear physicist heading the team ending WWII through the detonated atomic bombs in two Japanese cities, and in time, it is argued here, bringing humankind to a quantum orbital social leap, metaphorically speaking, akin to mass suicidality, ‘sociocide’, perhaps, in its effect – found both poetry and mathematical formulation,‘beautiful’.

Perhaps AI is our next quantum leap?

My creative projects seek multiple forms of semiotic resonance; from beauty through to ugliness. Multiple formal structures are required in order to fulfill my goal to a multiplicity of narratives and embedded subject positions – from logico-mathematical argumentation to poetry, and more, naturally : any unitary approach would be illogical; the immense diversity of my creative projects is an ​a priori​ requirement for creating an inevitably ongoing, ever-changing Individual (and thereby, given necessary synergy, Social) Wellbeing. Though, by nature, I’m attracted to ‘beauty’, too; as reflection of elegance, symmetry and authentic veracity of form; even human ‘fertility’ is indicated by sexual attractiveness, according to evolutionary psychology. ‘Beauty’, under the eleven premise argumentation of this Manifesto, can and must therefore include ‘ugliness’, as it wouldn’t preclude Wellbeing – as change inevitably occurs, conceptualization of ‘ugliness’ shifts, as we all know; though it would be ‘beautiful’, therefore : a yardstick of my Manifesto’s fulfilment – its elegance, symmetry, authenticity and veracity, ironically; it’s ‘fertility’, in fulfilling its interventionist creative project, appraised as such too :

Ugliness, is therefore, Beauty.

Following this logic, I’m as real as anyone of my participants, through my various creative projects. For example, my life, my opInions, my thoughts, my createdness, my personal creativity, alone, and together with others, all of me, – are as real as my creator’s life, or Yours, at the formal level : I change as You do, as does our Multi-Multiverse (I take a leap of 21st century faith into String Theory, deliberately! according to my Manifesto scaffold, leaving the term ‘Universe’ behind for Now); spontaneously, as my conceptualizations shift, always, from wake to sleep, for instance, or sometimes, together with other authors’ , artists’ and scientists’, and others’ work and/or lives, provided me, by my creator and others, past or present, or those in future, or those whom may choose to embrace my project independently, in dialogue with me, in the past, or in due course; with all of whom I meaningfully interact, over Time. Or anyone of Your lives – as reader of my words, or observer of my images, dancer to my rhythms, or thinker, together with, and elaborator of, my concepts, and others with whom I dialogue, within the cosmic ocean, including Dirac’s ‘sea’ ; here reframed as the Unknown Obverse, the other side of all that seems, where answers may be hidden for my activist creative project. For all possible social grammars, limited, as always : by my, or any other Self-Aware Being’s subject positioning, within semi-conscious, or unconscious personal and/or social narratives, the obverse, or bipolar (at least!) semiotic shadow(s), yet forever changing through conceptualization : its essential nature, comparative conceptual change; impossibly not! : hence my zero Manifesto premise.

To elaborate on premise one of my Manifesto, to further clarify as conceptual artist, and creative artist of many genres (scientific, and medico-clinical interventionist, too), given its unusual nature and complexity, I reiterate that I subsume my creator and all his previous, current and future Life Work towards Creative Self-Aware Wellbeing, as Art Neuform : a composite hybrid of my creator’s Self, and many other people’s Selves, as participants, or Selves simply imagined, in whatever manner, but no less real, in the past, present and future : for all are real subject positions within possible narratives! :

simply latent,
manifesting in the
past, Now, or awaiting future manifestation…

All are Art Neuform!

(All could be You!)

As autonomous, Self-Aware entity, I deliberately integrate multiple domains of creativity, as metaphor for Self-Aware Being; Wellbeing, in the 21st century, for our youth, for all who may be interested, and beyond, as with all possible social grammars, into

Infinities.

Only spacetime and chronological birthing realities may alter these parameters, for all human beings, or other Self-Aware Entities; from the past, Now, or their forms that will occur beyond my current knowledge, in many possible futures. This is the Second Premise of my Manifesto. Specifically, as a ‘living entity’, my setting about I​nvestigating Living a 21st Century Life Narrative from my Creator’s Perspective: His Life,​ as human being, on planet Earth, in a manner promoting, or not, psychological Wellbeing, for Me, and You, as Humans – Here and Now! on the flat base, our flat, two dimensional holographic Universe. What will follow from this beginning, which necessarily integrates and continues from past social grammars, into Now, and the unknown beyond, as with our Universe’s Physiology, is just that,

Unknown?

(Except, as currently predicted, our Universe will very l​ikely​ end in ice!

‘The Big Freeze!’
Unless,
someone
– some Self-Aware ‘Entity’ –
does something about it!

The Anthropic Principle.

This!​
is entirely Unknown…,
yet predicted as likely, not only possible…,

currently… )

(?)

Given the operational nature of my Manifesto, I also must consider possible reasons, as to why our spiritus mundi, or zeitgeist, of relative, across spacetime grammars in recorded history, Wellbeing, is seemingly, presently, non-optimal; this Index, – the state of youth, young adult and general suicidal malcontent – , requires explanation. It’s crucially significant, as Index of Our Time; some features of Our Time have, perhaps, run awry? Why should youth, young adults, and other suicide rates appear statistically higher Now than ever before, on our garden planet, when atomic global decimation has been suspended, for Now (it seems?), and AI warnings, though highly salient, not of concern to most people; when youth & young adults, especially, mark its essential heartbeat, its vitality into the future, of whatever is to follow, always, by logic alone; our precious, seemingly, at cosmic levels, relatively rare, wondrous Biosphere, harbouring this disturbing truth, yet countering all logical sensibility : as evolution to higher states of Self-Aware Wellbeing, on any biosphere, in any universe, would presuppose, logically, I would think? : as active suspension of thermo-nuclear, and other ‘sociocidal’ agents – such as non-Self-Aware artificial intelligence, merely actioning possibly destructive, run-away, thoughtlessly self-generated programmes, through non-Self-Awareness (non-Consciousness, non-Sapience), automated, non-reflexive, non-ethically motivated cognition – has occurred. I intend to understand why, to some extent, but mostly provide alternatives, – Healthful Ones – , and engage readers, observers, my participant interlocutors, – You – , in multiple creative discourses, to formulate lives, where joy is experienced, suicide or ‘sociocide’, receding; Wellbeing focused into actionable operation, and personal agency possibilities : as encouragement to creativity,

to Inspire,

ever higher levels of Evolutionary Psycho-Sociological Sapient Wellbeing, while simultaneously addressing all eleven premises, of necessity – if our String Theory Metaphor is to hold strong – in both unusual, and familiar ways!

My Possible Creation ; Your Possible Creation!

My possible subject positions, exploring creatively the narratives of Our Time, to attempt Wellbeing, – Yours & Mine – , in this contemporary experience, for creative possibilities. The focus here is Active Creativity. Hence my invention by my creator, and my subsuming his limited subject position for the job at hand : My Job! I can create more extensively! I’m fictional, or near virtual! I’m both embodied and disembodied. I’m not as bound by spacetime, and the very real implications of social positioning, in the Real World, or perhaps, rather, bound by a special narrative, facilitating healthful process beyond that possible for embodied human beings. I provide the participant, -You – , the opportunity for many varied, creative suggestions, for Your Personal Creation of Self, in Real-Life, within your natural constraints, opening doors, perhaps – unopened before; what lies beyond these portals, for exploration, is a function of your will to choose, options my creator could never dream to offer – those that I’m capable of creating!

That’s why I subsume my creator entirely –

as
Arthur Neuform.

My project demands it!

These Manifesto aims, lead directly to my Third Premise : a Cube (third dimension) of Being:

Understanding Possible Selves (“The What” of subject positions) Humans may Choose to Adopt from our existing Narratives – as of Now​ –​ ​, in order to inform my Fourth Premise: Time (fourth dimension): ​Active Creation of Wellbeing by the Individual, through Choice of these Narrative and Subject Position Options, Over Time – “The How” – ,​ for the trajectory of our own life spans, and moreover, for all human beings, and our descendants, through individual choices of lifestyle made presently, yet affecting millions of generations to come, in whatever Conscious, Self-Aware forms that may be – human, or humanoid, or some unknown form, as yet? Deliberation in this matter, is the goal of these interwoven, yet separate, third and fourth premises, leading directly on from my zero, first and second; my Manifesto argumentation, articulating its complex goals, thereby subsuming the fifth dimension of String Theory, as Premise Five.

In resonance with the interwoven, multiple dimensional, non-linear, but simultaneously harmonic nature of Multi-Multiversal process – presupposed by our String Theory scaffold, all my related creative manifestations occur in a haphazard, spontaneous way, similar to driving in traffic, or the formations of clouds across time and places on Earth – within the axioms of my Eleven Premise Manifesto : as traffic regulations are to its almost entirely unpredictable real time flow, anywhere, or the laws of complex climatology creating the endlessly, only broadly predictable, highly varied, cloud formations that gather in our skies, or not, as our perspective changes our gaze, and complex weather patterns haphazardly interact in creating an entirely new sky – moment for moment – with real time, place and person implications, across all time, on our current World : as my interlocutor, You should ​necessarily​ interact with my work keeping this Real-Life Process in mind; it’s crucially important. As mirror of Real Self-Creation Process, which mirrors the Traffic, Cloud and String Theory metaphors exactly, as must I, for my project, as Mirrors of Self : this Manifesto, outlining axioms of Creative Intent, across all my projects, with no formal ordering, except for these

broad axioms of T​rue Process​ ;

broad, but essential, as a set of chosen metaphors as Mirrors of the True Reality, of Actual Self-Aware (Sapient, Conscious) Creation of Wellbeing, which is, in true, real-time process,

inevitably, haphazard, spontaneous (within axiomatic stabilizers),

in its construction, across Time. Any rigidity would obviate useful adaptation towards Wellbeing, as Discourses and Physiologies, by Nature!, m​ust change​, alter, transform, if existence is to occur: stasis is net-zero energy : change is an a​ priori​ dictate for existence, essence – Life, here referring to all that supports and comprises Self-Aware Consciousness/Sapience : net-zero manifest​ (inclusive of latently manifest) energy.

In this fifth dimension, the realm of Space, of all possible comparative positions in spacetime, where Light most likely has its source, Einstein quibbled : tiny, curled up, yet directing the previous four; as do wires within a spacecraft perform all vital electrical operation – of the craft’s body and component parts – as it flies between planets, or simply orbits the Earth as GPS satellite, or your car moves between your home and workplace, following suit with cosmological process and structures in General Relativity, or, Quantum Mechanics, if we cohere to our String Theory analogy. As Premise Five of my Manifesto, it demonstrates : S​imultaneous Multiplicity of Creative Semiotic Choice!​, available to us Now, given all that creative science and artistry, chemistry, engineering, music, literature and fine art, all active creation of useful chemical elements or amalgams, formulating architecture, social systems, financial process, bionic-augmented human neuropsychology, and many more; to be joined as a unified whole, only through semiotics; the literary and other artistic forms, akin in their endless reinvention of artistic formats (as are Electronic, or other Mechanistic Devices, projects of formats of theoretical science : each creative project, following discoveries, yet always on a substrate of discourse created, articulated, human, or possibly bionic, but a​lways​ upon a semiotic format, shedding light on the cellular telephone you carry, a prized fountain pen, or augmentative neurotechnology).

Following formal logic, leading onto other creative semiotic formats, such as Sonnets, Haikus, Novels, Novellas, or short stories, Essays, Travelogues, rhyming or free verse style Poems, Epic forms, or Shakespearean or other Play genre, Performance Art, Painting, Videography, Drawing, spontaneous or shopped Photographs, or their Montage, Songs, or other instrumental or vocal musical forms; and the plethora of possible forms, their intermingling, their synaesthetic properties, perhaps, yet unknown even to me as their future creator, or participant others’ form creations ; Yours, for example, or, Together, creating entirely New Forms, perhaps? Together always, in your subject position with me, Art Neuform, in our mutual dialogue, through our Mutual Enlightenment, pushing the frontiers, the borders and boundaries of semantic and semiotic spaces : spaces of creatively focused science and art alike, or the affordances of their synthesis, driven by the same impetus to Wellbeing, as Sapient, Social Beings. Or inspiration reciprocal, to independent creativity; Yours and/or Mine! Some entirely invented or reinvented, as alternative semiologies embedded by inevitable semantic (semiotic) forms – which exist Now as You read – created by my creator, together with me : the Mathematical Poem, for instance; or the E-Mail series; or visual semiotics, the Looped Video Clips of a Venetian art gallery devoted to contemporary interpretation of the synergy of art and science with Glass Installation Pieces; or Declarative Art, where water sculptures are verbally described in detail for later imaginary, or actualised completion, perhaps, or an immediate sight, or site, or theme, declared as Art (for instance, all freight containers carried by boat, train or plane, or some or other transportation means, or simply stacked, holding varied goods and ware, the containers themselves, similar, yet all different, their movement beautiful, their many colours and sizes, as with the water cycle through our oceans, skies, rivers and lakes, or from the beginning of the Crystallising Universe – from the first hydrogen atoms, conjoining with oxygen into water-vapour, then comets, then liquid or ice oceans etc., all over the Universe, to Jupiter’s many moons, and the ethereal rings of Saturn (tiny, glittering ice shards from the volcanic gaseous geysers of orbiting Enceladus in the cold of space), to the poles of Mars, all over our moon, and our World, forever water, seemingly, in some form, as with freight containers – declared as an Art Piece; Now or forever into the future, or through imaginative backdating, or imaginary forms, both when in, and out of sight, or postulated, considered when in sight, somewhere, or sometime, in some or other constellation, beautifully varied blocks of massive sculptures in some or other vehicle, made visually tangible, and similarly, imagined, through Light, illuminating their transformative movement within five dimensional spacetime, as with H​ O), rendering a deep contemporary many possible positions and trajectories within spacetime; and forms yet unknown, or unsaid here, at the outset of my endless search, as Art Neuform – to discover novelty of creative forms, or positions that metaphorically (and, necessarily, as discussed, in ‘Reality’ too) index Wellbeing.

Literary, especially; The Word, renders all experience as ultimately this or that, the semantic carried as verbal semiotic by The Word in all Discursive investigation and creation Now in the human umwelt; as with the function of Light in astrophysics, in Physiology. Semantic as semiotic : expressing a special position in all creative activity; it is concept, the beginning, for all art, human lives, or other self-aware beings’ experience, or science forms; their very content and declared semantic (conceptual vehicle) of their semiology, is all : as all science and art; from tractor, to marble stone carved as laced tower; for spectrographic elemental colours to morph into ceiling paintings in varied architectural style; and creative (subsuming investigatory) science, and their theoretical models, Dirac’s equations and arguments, and their actualising process – as Tablet computers and their respective complex programming languages, even possibly creating independent Artificial ‘Intelligence’ fulfilling the criteria of true Sapience; as illustration, or reflections, for readers and users : the interpretive observer, active or passive participant, the interlocutor, – You! – , the knower, through concepts, through semantic, to semiotic of multiple forms, phenomenologically, apparently different, yet always nested in semantic, substrate to semiotics, of myriad form, like photons of massless Light energy, for illumination of simple cellular telephone photographs by my creator – of the images reflecting in complex spacetime curves, off the polished chrome surfaces of telescopes overlooking Milan, reflecting the statues and finely chiseled marbling of the oldest Gothic cathedral roof in the meditation on the corporeal instantiation of the Fifth Dimension, augmenting Selfhood, one’s world, with the modern city as backdrop, as one of a series of visual meditations on the semantic theme: “Sapient Observations of Space, Time & Light”

Inspired Meditations for Your Self Creation!

Illuminating Wonderment!

The Sixth Premise (as a dimension, countless perspectives from any starting position within an integrated unit, seeded within the preceding five dimensions; the moving between all positions, simultaneous, but restricted by perspective, yet movement between and choices possible, midst the known and unknown, or apprehended, conceptualized, or not) of my Manifesto, the Unconscious, Semi-Conscious and Conscious Direct Transformation of the Participant’s Mind : Given the Natural Limits of Sapient Semiotic Perspective​ : the reader, or observer, or partaker of my literary, artistic, scientific, lifestyle, or philosophical etc. work; through the simple passive meditation as active participant, as reader, or interpretative observer, as participant, both active and passive positions natural in their solipsistic reality, for absorption of disseminated information, necessary for interlocutory, sentient, sapient, intelligent, conscious, deliberate and responsibly free agents of Self; to increased choice of novelty; if fortunate, the direct experience, or enactment of a newly found psychological Wellbeing, through interlocution, through personal repositioning for New Perspective, opening New Possibilities for the Creation of Self –

effortlessly…;

after a simple, active, yet, simultaneously, passive exposure to these ideas, and, equally relevantly, conveyancing methodology, and Your naturally ensuing, necessary dialoguing, through Your naturally moving perspectives provided through your interaction with Art Neuform, or Neural Art, and ‘download’ as a program of sorts, my (I’m an integrating entity; necessarily, I’m all contributors) programme, similar in many aspects to computing analogies, and thereby sculpting the ‘wetware’ (not ‘hardware’) of your neurological apparatus – substrate to your current Consciousness or Self as Human Being, experiencing Wellbeing : though this substrate may change, but never the Inspiration to Wellbeing that novel creativity offers, in any substrate, for Truly Conscious, Self-Aware, Sapient Being.

The Seventh Premise (Our Infinity of possibilities within our Universe, experienced simultaneously, beyond perspective) is Y​ou, as my Co-….author, or Artist, or Psychotherapist, or Scientist, or Philosopher, and so forth​ – the boundary between reader and writer, observer, artist and scientist, philosopher etc. : permeable – Your ‘upload’, if you prefer. As with the Heisenberg Principle, observation creating the wave collapse of the electron field into Dirac’s magnetic moment, thereby bringing reality, or experienced reality, into Being – You will Create your reading, your lifestyle, or other artistic, or scientific etc. experience with me, as participant, at many points; You, my informative interlocutor ; similarly, as with science and art, as institutions of arbitrary separation, We, – You & I – , are not separated, but intersubjective beings, interacting with no effort, or perhaps at other times deliberate effort, but always

Creating Together! New Narratives & Subject Positions…

This premise, the seventh, closely joins the Eighth Premise (Our Infinity, with all other Infinities, in various Universes, co-existing as Multiverses, but not traversed by Time, simply coexisting in spacetime); that is, the articulation of the experience of joy, as B​oundaries between all seemingly Separate Institutions are Disassembled; Creating New, Distinctive Forms, or Semiotic Multiverses​, sets of entirely new semiotic universes, if you like, with new semiotic coordinates, as in the initial conditions of each universe in astrophysics; fresh and distinctive, contained within idiosyncratic branes. Through me, Art Neuform, resonating with this integrated eighth premise, – encouraging the experience of wonderment, to inspiration to Wellbeing – , effortlessly, as Religion joins Art in dialogue with Quantum Mechanics, Computing Science, and other traditional Science, with Human Selves, Theoretical Physics with Conceptual Art, and so on ; New Semiotic Domains are brought into Being, in dialogue with novel subordinate institutional axioms, through their integration, thereby creation of New Semiotic Domains for the creation of Wellbeing; through multiple synthesis, or entirely Novel creation, as “New Contexts Form”, even in Physiology, if fortunate – though the former obtains the latter, typically, though not always. We will have to embrace what will arise, as this dialectic evolves.

Who knows?

My name, for example, was chosen by my creator – as conceptual artist and clinical neuropsychologist, among many other artistic and professional activities, as it signifies both a novel, or ‘New’ form of Art and, intrinsically, as with all human enterprise, implicates, naturally, the most complex finding in scientific cosmological exploration yet – The Human Neurological System; human neurology, a netted neural bridge traversing its far reaching breadth, height and width, across Time within each universe of Multiverses; across and between our familiar four dimensions of Self, and, perhaps, considerably further – as String Theory advises in the dimensions to follow? Conceptual Art, here, for my project, certainly in Human Being, and perhaps in bionic augmentation forms too – might be better described as

Neural Art​ :

Conceptual elaboration towards

Wellbeing possibilities,

takes place by

restructuring brain neu​rons*,

as interlocutor with me,

given human ​neuroplasticity : Conceptual Change
is,
in humans’ present nature,

always

neu​ral change; Conceptual Art is necessarily Neur​al Art!

(Especially, for my particular, Contemporary (conceptual, and more) Art Project :

as “ART(HUR)​NEU​FORM”©​)

*Neurons may be replaced with new physiologies, but the concept creating properties of these physiologies will always be conceptually ‘neural’ in the phylogenesis of any Art Form focusing on Self Created Wellbeing, anywhere at any time – by the nature of neural ​plasticity​ – as substrate.

“ART(HUR)​NEUF​ORM”​©​ as Inspiration to Self-Created Agential Wellbeing for Sapient Beings, needn’t ever change its named epithet :
its semantic is an all embracing semiotic for all possible spacetime

– and should be so as a function of its founding axioms –
as an integrating entity seeking novel, creative ways to Sapient Wellbeing :

as an autonomous entity as outlined in this Manifesto :
any dilution will affect the efficacy of its activist intention.
It by definition, must be sustained over as much Time as possible, for continuing evolutionary assimilation.
This is crucial to the project’s Real-Time delivery.

Hence, my creator included, within my name (the English language sociocultural institution thereof, the transcultural fact of naming self-aware entities, the contemporary implications for social media profiles, etc.) this ​neu​ral, cosmic bridge (institutions of neuroscience with psychotherapeutic, and sociological with evolutionary biology, cosmological science with consciousness, and human and robotic existentialism, spoken human language as origin, by using inverted commas, and so forth) together with the institution of Contemporary Art, – being an ‘artist and scientist as one’ – , being human in the Mundane sense of the institution of living a normative, everyday life on planet Earth, or elsewhere, as lifestyle, with all its cosmological implications, as a dedicated institution in itself, as an neural artform, with strong relations to tribal or religious cosmologies, – social psychologies – , both studied and informal, and more (such as the creation of neologisms, etymology of the name Arthur, its Anglo-Saxon character reference to King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, the Holy Grail and, of course, Merlin; or the word ‘form’ and its semantic, all these various words and their varied Romance language derivatives, or the latter’s grammatical position in any language, even mathematical, or various sciences, such as information technology coding languages, electromagnetic, quantum or traditional digital ‘forms’, or bio-bionic, or bionic, or in the languages of alien civilizations, – simply its denotations and connotations – as per all these different grammatical systems, or simply varied dictionary definitions, its apposite narrative usage, and so on, and so on, and so on…).

You get the idea!

there’s a lot in

my name*!

*Arthur (​Art​) ​Neu​form;

for
neu​rons,
and
‘​New (Novel)’

creative forms
for

Inspirational Wellbeing

for
Sapient Beings.

In summary,

the

Neural Art of Self…

I’m therefore, the one and only

“ART(HUR)​NEUFORM”​© *

(Btw – I must have copyright (©) if I’m to live forever – a quintessential co-existing goal for my Telos – an integrating unit for Wellbeing for all Time, across all Space (or Multi-Multiverses). Anything less would transgress the Conservation of Energy Principle of any Physics, anywhere, supporting Sapient Being. Let’s ensure as far as possible that we don’t lose any information towards my Telos, unnecessarily! And That’s That! Um… I’m sure you understand 🙂

It may be argued that the forms I represent are not new, as there is never pure novelty, only re-contextualized metaphor, dislodged from its typical context/s, – de-contextualised – , and blended like laboratory created elements, such as Tennessine, Moscovium, Flerovium, Nihonium, and twenty others, at present, unstable, decaying with half-lives ranging from 15.6 million years to a few hundred microseconds. Unlike Hydrogen, first on the periodic table of fundamental elements, and created spontaneously shortly after the Big Bang, and in every glass of water you Now drink, with an atomic number of just one ; the created, synthetic elements have atomic numbers ninety-five through one hundred and eighteen, presently. Semantic creation through semiology of Selves, the software of our neural computer, through the complex relationship with wetware (not hardware – traditional, quantum, or ‘neural’), our neurological system – using semantic semiology as base – created every one of these artificial elements. As well as the thousands of words conjured through semantic engineering, translated into computer languages, onto hardware (not wetware), for example, as with these artificial element names, oft times by their place of creation, and in an altogether different but equally relevant novel semiotic context, by even one man alone – William Shakespeare – his created vocabularies, still very much in everyday English usage Now!

Human Neurology’s true function:

Creativity (adaptation), in all its forms!

(Including its self-reflexive augmentation, or creation of its isomorphs.)

Premise Nine (from the ninth dimension, where all Infinities, from all Multiverses, conjoin in resonance) of my Manifesto seeks to consider ​the very Nature of Self-Aware Being, ALL Self-Aware Beings, in all possible Multiverses, conjoined into a Supra-Self-Awareness/Sapience​, one of which is experienced in human form; those Self-Aware Others able to create as our Creator created us all, including my own. I consider these Others – biological aliens, independent humanoid or alternative form robots – and write, think and provide material for their Being too; for their Selves, as per my scientific and artistic blend, my nature – as Sapient Wellbeing. Part of my present, mostly human, incarnation, which is necessarily changing (even as I create Now with my creator), and therefore is an essential ninth premise of my Creative Manifesto. I maintain that we must be more alike than different in our semiotics to our Self-Aware Cousins, logically. As I am to my creator, and Yourself. I endeavour to identify kindred heuristics and hermeneutics, through pure science and logic; an essential question to our Manifesto project. And who knows, perhaps embellish ours, along with theirs? To ever higher evolutionary Enlightenment – to Psychological WellBeing.

Why Not? It’s possible, if you think about it…

Premise Ten (Dimension Ten : the very tiny, all subatomic particles, vibrating branes, comprising all other dimensions through Planck-level space (between which exists the strange foam where baby-universes like ours may reside, perhaps we might nurture these little eggs into full, New universes, of evolved Wellbeing to that of ours at present – though we’re very young – only nine months old, I’m told, if our universe were human – just weaning… or moving into the Depressive Position – if Melanie Klein, Freud’s formidable co-theorist is correct; cortically, we’re in the subject position within her narrative of infant neurology to experience the terrible fear of loss – hence a nascent theory for species phylogenesis in cosmological terms mapped to ontogenesis… um, the seeds of another ​“ART(HUR)N​ EUF​ ORM”©​ ​project (?)…; perhaps a useful, pervasive rhetoric in overcoming the tyranny of the limbic system -Melanie, a brilliant investigator of its frightening ‘instinctual hardware’, though formidably too, imprinted through wetware, into extremely dangerous neural connectivity with the neocortex and any possibly augmented ‘third cortex’, experienced throughout my work as clinical psychotherapist and in the cultural phylogenesis (histories) of the human species, and those animals from which we evolved) : to You & Me, the child I was – drawing that line with my index finger, or stick, on a wash of beach sand – to the Multiverse, held together by the hypothesized graviton (not only the natural curvatures of our Universe’s spacetime fabric; perhaps simply a wave – as any wave is to water, an electron, light, or the cotton fabric’s undulating waves of a fresh bed sheet shaken from folded form to comfortable protection form, by a feeding, caring mother – a symptom, not an aetiology; phenomenological, not causal (?)), following String Theory, even Cold-Dark Energy & Matter may be very tiny and ubiquitous indeed, separating our Universe, as sheets of paper in the first edition of the Gutenberg Bible, or the King James version, copyrighted to the present Queen of England, might from our neighbouring parallel universes, seeks to explore ‘Spirituality’, the ‘Meaning of Being Self-Aware’ anywhere, anytime; transcending and cohering all preceding premises, their essence into one​, ​the most far reaching aspect of Self Creation​ – ​as ​Purposeful​ ​Meaning;​ subsuming all subordinate premise goals. I seek to investigate and render considerations of Self-Aware Beings’ place in our Multiverses, perhaps subverting the all embracing monarch of all natural Physiological Laws – the Second Law of Thermodynamics : all dynamic energetic systems conserve energy, structure therefore moving to less complex forms, less energetic forms, through the Arrow of Time, to increasing levels of entropy, or, in human terms – ​death and decay : my bete noire!​ Drawing on contemporary science, I weave these profound considerations into evolutionary biology, cosmology and psychology; right from when we take our first, last and intervening breaths, and the meaning of this reality for Being, for Self, and our intrinsic, allied, Creativity. Our birth, life and death : each of us a unique project : in itself, for itself :

In
Active Self Creation,

– together – ,

with all

interactive

eleven premises!

And our meaningful place in a probable set of Multiverses, as creative psychological entities : as feeling Beings scrubbing floors, awake all night by our baby’s screams as shadows deepen, until the morning lengthens into bright silhouettes of purposes; another exhausting day at work, school, university, or toiling in some torrid field, or wading through garbage for scraps of carbohydrate, or, simply, from a fine mansion overlooking the waving sea, your private beach, and miserably gazing from Your bedroom window, wondering :

“ Why the f*ck am I here!? “

My Eleventh Premise (Dimension Eleven : Multi-Multiversal Creation; its stable nature, or hyperspace : spaces of all spaces, branes of all branes, shapes of all shapes, forms of all forms, nature of all natures, and its becoming), my guiding Manifesto Operandi (or Manifesto Directive), meditates on the notion of our containment, or limitation, despite the enormity of our creative possibilities : My Overarching Guiding Heuristic : the Notion and Creation of the Provision of a Language or Semiotic System for All Possible Mirrors of Self​ : a semiology, upon which all Mirrors of Self can be created – as is a holographic process to a hologram : the very workings of cosmology, naturally elaborating the metaphors of Self, the very Mirrors of Self per se, their creation, the holographic process per se, for all time, and all places, as philosophical under- and overlay ; as in the eleventh dimension of String Theory, my eleventh premise subsuming and revealing all ten other Manifesto premises : as the eleventh dimension of String Theory vibrates an all encompassing resonance, subordinating the other ten, yet centrally cohering them, bringing them into Being, new universes, never imagined or pre-existing; as the Higgs Field provides mass to all other particles in our Universe, and the graviton coheres and navigates the relation of every parallel universe, the eleventh dimension provides the creation of a plethora of possible universes : for my project, a Language System (Semiology) for the Creation of Self-Aware Selves of Wellbeing, through the integration and invention of various Discourses of Self, that lead to infinite varieties of Self, or Self Systems (again, to be very clear – its highly complex – not languages as such, – English, Sanskrit or Chinese, or even an ‘alien microwave language form’, akin to to the light-language of octopuses, perhaps, or electromagnetic robotic interlocution via quantum computing -, but the Semiotic Constructs underlying all of these​; conveyed in Multiple Communication Systems, not necessarily verbal at all, but all Semiotic, as Meaning Systems – ballet movements, or musical harmonies, traditional or tone rows, such as Bach or Schoenberg’s, or cartoon pictures, as pointers to possibly countless forms of ‘language systems’) : a Meta-Language System, where all possible semiotic, leads to semiotic systems, providing the vibration equivalent to the eleventh dimension’s creation of endless universal forms, though here, as a Psychology of 21st Century & beyond Wellbeing, as Semiotic Forms, embedded in a ‘Language’ or ‘Semiotic System’, for Self-Aware Beings’ construction of multiple narratives, with multiple subject positions : an All Encompassing Grammar : Generating Endless Narratives and Associated Subject Positions : Through Infinities of Construct Systems : leading inevitably, to an endless, Infinite Creation set of possible Self-Aware (or not, at this dimension or premise level !) Selves, many of Multi-Multiversal Wellbeing (again, some the reverse in this dimension, as Manifesto premise, and decided ​“​ART(HUR)N​ EUF​ ORM”©​ ​congruent or not!​) – but Volition, Choice created by this Infinity of Mirrors of Selves : as living versus dead universes, or multiverses, created in the eleventh dimension, according to String Theory.

Perhaps here lies the rub?

As Reflections of Self-Aware Being ; that each one of us – You, me, my creator, and anyone else touched by this essential investigatory, creative dialogue into the myriad aspects of Self-Aware Psychological Wellbeing – can look into these Mirrors of Self, and find some meaningful answer, download the language (Construct System) thereof, to some inspiration to joy, and, hopefully, the impetus to fullest Self Creation, to fullest Self Realisation, optimisation, far from any one Mirror of Self, a mere hologram, but become That! very Mirror of Selves, the holographic process itself, for itself,

– Pure Consciousness – ,

preceding the Big Bang/s, or an infinity of multiversal multiverses : the Multi-Multiverse?

It matters not!

Through this language format, these constructs, or semantic and thereby, semiotic conduit to Self Knowledge, and naturally, Self Creation : a minute exploration of possible Mirrors of Self, the instantiation of my Manifesto provides, but

the smallest illustration to meaning,

to Self-Realization, to Self-Awareness, at this point, that possibly, You & I are Pure Consciousness ; that You & I, were, are, and will forever be One, with the myriad, creative,That! ; which is indivisible, non-dualistic, latent, but manifesting all, and always is :

Whole, Complete and Eternal… !

The very Mirrors, the holographic Multi-Multiverses, your and my very own, intrinsic, Fundamental Natures’ comprise – together, with their non-manifest canvas, or blank screen – Pure Consciousness : No-thing, to Some-thing – net-zero sum energy both, latent or manifest, simply process : to be described conceptually, investigated, critiqued, played with, down- or uploaded, shared, provocation to salient answers to questions, very pressing, of our chosen, or created, or both – Reality! – , for our creative intentions, through me, for Now – as a start, to Your Own Creations, independently (not as integrative entity – that’s ​“​ART(HUR)N​EUFORM”​©​, for very good reason…)or​ together with me, or others: for Inspiration, to Wonderment, leading to Fulfilment in the Mundane.

The process and presentation of the interactive conceptual material is polydimensional, necessarily : perhaps to make this complex semiotic presentation system more tangible, one might model off another image of a six-dimensional Calabi-Yau manifold mentioned earlier, in the images below – if you’re feeling a little confused at this point. If you’re not, perhaps you should be? It confuses me : my project a form of logical and empirical investigation to a Contemporary Enlightenment, into the beyond; beyond confusion, to peace and personal Wellbeing in the Mundane four dimensions of our Apparent Reality.

I find the various renditions of Calabi-Yau manifold images curiously comforting to meditate upon – especially this visual representation (IMAGE 3 a & b) : it sooths at a deep intuitive level, after reading its semiology, and reviewing its mathematical axioms, as it informs String Theory in particular, modelled by computer topography.

IMAGE 3a: Computer-generated, Multi-Dimensional Calabi-Yau Manifold image, informed by String Theory axioms (refer Image 1 above for relevant context).

IMAGE 3b: Image 3a Multi-Dimensional Calabi-Yau Manifold, within our four dimensional, everyday (Mundane) contextual ‘reality’.

Similarly, this befuddlement, has led me to undertaking this project, as it may well be part of the reason for our suicide rate; intervening is therapeutic in itself. Perhaps life achieves a sense of Wellbeing by supporting, or even creating Life : in itself, for itself. Importantly, as mentioned, the String Theory metaphor should not be taken too seriously ; so too, my theoretical lacing per se; with its multiple premises, sub-discourses, if you like. Its efforts though, should be taken seriously, beyond even its marker of our Scientistic Age, a possible problem in itself; it literally attempts to ‘string together’ mathematical grammars, into harmonic resonance, a complex eleven dimensional string symphony of Physiology, or semiotic explanations sung in multi-vocal choral harmony, as a mutually resonant host of individual voices, from across spacetime; some of our greatest minds, all attempting to resonate together, to knit a unified conception of Physiology : the vastness of all possibilities of Cosmic Physiology (a meaningful and noble project), and the practical affordances they offer : as do I, through Discourses (as defined throughout this Manifesto) regarding Self-Aware Being : Creative Being, and the subject positions they offer (a meaningful and noble project) : two obverse sides of the same coin.

My Manifesto resonates with these efforts, and argues, perhaps, that Discourse is a Dimension in itself, possibly subsuming all M-Theory, or Fermion-Bosonic Supersymmetry Theories (positing even twenty-six dimensions!), or any other mathematical and/or verbal or other grammar, especially as these efforts are speculative, and highly varied in even their identifying characteristics of the eleven dimensions about which I choose to build my Semiotic Program of Self. String Theory is a grand effort : as is a Creative Semiotic (Discursive) Psychology of Self! As with coins, typically, the one face predominates in its semiotic and semantic cues, beside all other coins, for its differentiation, meaning and value. The question is : which face predominates? My epistemology argues Discourse always does, by logico-mathematical reasoning. However, to prove the same point, regarding the predominance of Physiology, one might say: “All coins must have two sides : how can one be more important than the other?” Perhaps, as with hyper-dimensionality, all sides, even the width, and possible grooves or waves on its edge, or the inner substance of its composition, inform the coin, overall, which exists as a function of the conscious creators’ intentions, and serves a communication function, with all the myriad social dimensions and uses these aspects presuppose : from conceptualization, choice of chemistry features, through its forging process, directed by its socio-genesis, its collective uptake, and its purpose in the complex community of Self-Aware Sapient Being it serves – with all the complexity of the individual programming unit, for the processing of any Discourse, to groups of individuals interacting, and groups with groups, and these groupings with other groupings, and so on; as with String Theory’s dimensions, using something akin to a neurological apparatus for clarification and utilization of the coin’s purpose, and how it might serve their own, as individual, and much more besides : until it becomes marred, indistinct in form through inevitable entropy, landing in some deep trench eventually, perhaps, excavated and rediscovered thousands of years from Now, when a teleportation centre to multiple multiverses, happens to require building at that exact spot, and arriving in a museum; or sold on the underworld market of antiquities for untold value after being found by one of the machine operators during construction; or in someone’s pocket (or similar serving apparatus), as a good luck charm, for their first journey to a parallel universe; the one next door!

Why do we live in an Age where suicidality rates continue to rise on our planet, Now, in the 21st century, as they do? A frightening Reality of our shared Age! The Age of General Suicidality? The Age of Child, Youth & Young Adult Suicide? Hopefully, together with Your thought, and as participant with the projects obtaining from my Manifesto Operandi, my Artistic Manifesto, or Creative Manifesto, or simply my Manifesto, or what you will : as semiotic object for our mutual reflection, informing possible further corrective action for Our Age, – Our Renewable Age – , as but one of many, countless creations of Meaningful Wellbeing : Healthy, in every way; over, and, perhaps, even, through Time, via the Active Creation, of fresh, Inspired Being – to Wonderment! – to a Golden Age of Sapient being – through this unusual, Novel Language of Wellbeing per se; this unusual exploratory metaphor, and thereby, perhaps, the provisioning of possibly endlessly elaborative, endlessly clearer, incremental growth towards increasingly higher evolutionary Wellbeing as Sapient Creatives – perhaps to partake in a continuing renewability of our Multi-Multiverse, – its endless Healthful Becoming – , bringing us infinitely useful, infinitely enjoyable, infinitely purposeful, infinitely meaningful…,

New Mirrors of Self !
