Continuous N-Simult & Wilson’s chair

This post has two items: Wilson’s chair (according to the Oxford Companion to Philosophy Memes) and details of the latest version (2.23) of the N-Simult “consciousness app”, from our Tokyo sponsors. None of the contents of this post used AI or mobile technology – rather they were lovingly crafted by human eye, hand and brain, via an old Windows laptop and even older software (Corel Photo-Paint)!

Wilson’s chair — phrase used in 21st century dystopop culture to signify a vivid philosophical analogy or allegory [see also: Plato’s cave; Ryle’s university; Schrödinger’s cat]. Refers to influential writer Robert Anton Wilson, particularly the first section of his book, The New Inquisition (which, ironically, doesn’t mention a chair); also to “chair” examples in his books, Right Where You are Sitting Now, Nature’s Law, Cosmic Trigger 3, Prometheus Rising, Email to the Universe, etc. Wilson uses the chair example to illustrate his uniquely formulated scientific post-post-modern views on the “reality” concept. As he states, “Take a chair. Any god-damn chair… Get up and look at it. You don’t see the chair alone… You see what language and metaphor allow you to see.” (RWYASN).
