  Okay. Alright, so, hi everyone. Can everyone hear me? Am I loud enough? Yeah, you're good. I can control your sound too. Okay. So, just to start, I want to talk about the four terms, the entities, worlds, genres, and climates. And sort of talk about these and why I think those four terms make up a very basic equation…

  And we can go into that a bit later if you guys want. So there are a couple of things that the CCRU did while they were a bit of a rogue operation. The Syzygy event at Beaconsfield was a big one, which was where the Numogram and the Lemurian Hyperstition was born. Some info about that on the site I just posted. And…

  You have the hyperstitional doctrine. And this is obviously a limited... So they want to look at... They ask questions, can anything that can be treated as axiomatic be deducted from the set of central hyperstitional tools or principles? And this is the... During the hyperstitional doctrine, this is when they're…

  I'm just gonna call it wiredness because it's W-Y-O-R-D.

  And because it's discharging entropy, it sort of operates in this space outside of the linearization of time. So, it's not a time anomaly. It's a kind of time outside of metrics, outside of sort of asymmetrical past to present. Which is why you always see this trope of the future coming back to get us in Land's…

  Since the origin of it is arbitrarily created by one person, then someone else can then redefine or expand the boundaries of that particular form of creation. I think it's the fact that an entity can be hyperstitional, or sort of a good meal for hyperstition. If it's the creation of a particular person…

  I think his writing, his sort of creation of worlds and writing itself is sort of a production of this collectivization. So it's hard to say that. I think without his collaborative writing he would have no other carriers, he would have no other hyperstitional characters. There would be no production, it would just…

  See you. Thanks guys for hosting. It's been really good. No problem. Thank you. Okay. So that's the end of the first session. If anybody has any questions about how to get to the classroom, what to do, how to participate, if you need the if you're like missing a reading or you need a reading just feel free to post…
