Simul-flow State Description.

Simul-Flow: A coalescence of pattern in multiple layers simultaneously, experienced by an observer as a single state or statement. Examples: Language, Music, Neural Process.

There are those who speculate that the universe is comprised, in essence, of information, or as some would have it, language. Some would say that the world is made of language. I have heard this theory as it has trickled down from discussions of quantum physics into the fiction of some of my favorite authors: Descriptions of the universe as nothing more than pattern in endless combination. These patterns, it would seem, interact in ways that are easily absorbed by the human mind, but which defy conscious analysis.

The use of the word language has been an obstacle for this argument. As some would point out, the typical definition of language requires, in all its forms, both expressor and recipient (individual or audience), but it is only tradition which holds that these parties must be human, or even consciously self aware. Computer protocols belie this argument, as networked machines discuss the flow of information between themselves in ways that a human being is not intended to receive.

What is language? Language may take many forms, but it is essentially a code which is intended to transfer conceptual understanding from one entity (human, animal or merely computational) to another. Language describes a state of existence, or a state of thought, whether frozen in time or temporally active. All of these distinctions are important to the nature of language.

Oral language, between human beings, is a vastly complex construct which has evolved over time to serve a variety of interwoven functions. A regional language usually serves as a glue for many different context specific jargon sets (related to any number of occupational fields or hobbies including medical, engineering, and mathematical realms). Alphabetic patterns, word patterns, phrase and grammar combinations, patterns of inflection and rhyme, and sometimes body language serve as layers which operate within the same temporal framework to form a cohesive conceptual state in the mind of the recipient(s). The simultaneous interaction of these various elements seem to appeal directly to a level of our minds which is not consciously controlled.

Music is a more complex example of this phenomenon. Pitch, timbre, rhythm, meter, attack and other elements are elements which flow across time, forming complex relationships. These sometimes also combine with conscious level lyrical interactions which add all the layers of language to the mix in order to form a single state within the mind of the observer. Even as all of these complexities interact, we hear only one song.

Consciousness, or human thought patterns, are also described by a far more complex layered simul-flow, of which we have only the most limited understanding, and which may be comprised of patterns at the physical, chemical, electrical, quantum and temporal levels, along with others as yet unknown. We experience thought in much the same way that we experience music, as a single state, comprised of many disparate parts.
