"The design process ... must become conscious, global, integrated ... the entire human domain, which means the entire planet and its surrounding near space, should be enclosed and included in a coherent plan driven by human values and a thirst for transformational beauty."
Terence McKenna

"The universe cannot be read until we have learned the language and become familiar with the characters in which it is written. It is written in mathematical language, and the letters are triangles, circles and other geometrical figures, without which means it is humanly impossible to comprehend a single word. Without these, one is wandering about in a dark labyrinth."
"First, images we build in our minds when we try to picture light or particles of matter are not appropriate. Language itself struggles to address quantum reality, since it is limited to verbalizations of those mental images."

"Meta-representation is the ability to represent a representation - being able to attach an abstract concept or meaning to a separate entity - and enables humans to adapt to their environment in real-time unlike most animals who can only adapt through slow genetic change over evolutionary time. Examples are using symbolism and metaphor, which for humans are second nature and taken for granted. But verbal and written language are only possible because we can abstract the idea of a thing and assign it a name - a symbol - that can be spoken and written. The perceiver understand that the symbol refers to a thing that is not a symbol itself."
Design presents itself in the form of signs, symbols, metaphor and analogy. Design has a meaning and a purpose. Design brings meaning and purpose to Life. Design broadens consciousness through awareness. Design harbors a hidden and aetheric language that is felt and not fully understood.
Design has a science and philosophy all its own, a language that connects the realms of Truth, Beauty and Goodness. Specifically, if you have to ask what design is, no one could ever explain it to you.
"The political and social power of symbols was central to Burke's scholarship throughout his career. He felt that through understanding "what is involved when we say what people are doing and why they are doing it", we could gain insight into the cognitive basis for our perception of the world.
The use of rhetoric conveys aesthetic and social competence which is why a text can rarely be reduced to purely scientific or political implications. according to Burke. Rhetoric forms our social identity by a series of events usually based on linguistics, but more generally by the use of any symbolic figures. He uses the metaphor of a drama to articulate this point, where interdependent characters speak and communicate with each other while allowing the others to do the same. Also, Burke describes identification as a function of persuasive appeal."

"It’s important to understand that emotions are not the same as feelings. Emotions are responses the mind makes from a space of defining something as being either Good or Bad."
Design is veiled in our thoughts and feelings. Design is internal and external, seen and unseen, tangible and intangible, shared and personal. Design is euphemistic. Design is coded - marks, images and impressions that when placed in a certain order or pattern become inscribed in the form of a "signature".

Colexification is a phenomenon in which the occurrence of a single word is associated with multiple concepts that share semantic relationships. The analysis of colexification is an innovative linguistic method for indirect semantic associativity analysis, leveraging existing semantic relations without the need for additional data.
The findings of this study may offer novel insights into the evolution of languages and cross-cultural communication since
words are considered to be intricately connected to emotions. The outcomes gain significance amid the increasing importance of comprehending natural language processing.
A better understanding of natural language processing will also aid in the development of language processing algorithms and large language models (LLMs).

The meaning of emotion: Cultural and biological evolution impact how humans feel feelings
By Max Planck Society
"Despite the wide variation of emotion semantics, researchers found evidence of a universal structure constraining the emotion concepts that form colexification networks. Valence—the pleasantness or unpleasantness of an emotion—and activation—the physiological arousal associated with experiencing an emotion—are the strongest predictors of network membership. "The ability of valence and activation to predict structure in emotion semantics across language families suggests that these are common psycho-physiological dimensions shared by all humans," says senior author Kristen Lindquist."
Design's whispers are caressed within the voice of silence.
As the context changes so does the observer. Design is forever being recalibrated. When contexts change so do past and present impressions no longer becoming part of an observer's vocabulary. As contexts change new designs surface - in the moment. The syntax of every language must be designed to adapt in conjunction with the signs, symbols, codes, programs and forms that together support it.
Awareness, consciousness, language and design are all synonymous.

What is the quantum field of virtual potential and probability (QFVPP)?
The quantum field of virtual potential and probability is a virtual field of energy, light and information made conscious, aware and apparent by means of symbolic representation (design). The QFVPP is characterized in the relative "form" of a particle, wave and/or force, i.e. impression.
Hypothesis: a quantum field of virtual potential and probability (QFVPP) permeates all that can be known or believed.
The QFVPP symbolizes a multidimensional condition where energy is in perpetual motion and change is eternal. The QFVPP has no boundary other than those brought into cognition within the constraints of an observer. It is within this hypothetical state of timeless Attendance that design and consciousness (Design Consciousness) are felt, observed, communicated and measured.
Light, energy, information, consciousness and design are attributes of an aetheric Presence, a virtual field of potential and probability made self-evident by means of a symbolic language known only to the observer.
Sciences' current description and interpretation of the QFVPP demonstrates its endeavor to measure (quantify) and describe (qualify) a conceptual state of Awareness within the parameters of a particular system of belief and knowing.

Thank you for sharing this rich and poetic reflection on the nature of design, language, and consciousness. Here’s a refined and expanded version of your text:
Design as a Vibratory Language
Design is not merely function or form; it is a vibratory language that resonates beyond words. It emerges through signs, symbols, metaphors, and analogies—each a carrier of meaning and intention. Design gives shape to purpose, and in turn, bestows meaning upon life itself. It acts as a conduit through which awareness is broadened and consciousness elevated.
Design is a language we feel rather than fully comprehend. It speaks in silence, whispers in intuition, and gestures through impression. It is at once hidden and luminous, veiled and revealing—an aetheric language sensed on the threshold of perception.
It holds a science and a philosophy uniquely its own, a semiotic bridge uniting the archetypal triad of Truth, Beauty, and Goodness. As with certain mysteries, if you must ask what design is, no explanation will suffice. It is an experiential reality that eludes reduction.
Design is woven into our thoughts and emotions, intrinsic to both our inner landscapes and the external world. It exists at the intersection of the seen and unseen, the tangible and the intangible, the personal and the collective. Design is euphemistic.
It is coded—expressed through marks, images, and impressions that, when ordered into meaningful patterns, become a kind of signature, a symbolic signature of consciousness.
It is through design that impressions—ideas, imaginings, intuitions—find a framework. Design transmutes conceptual thought and feeling into a quantum language of holographic ideas and energetic impressions. It creates the context within which these impressions can be most fully realized, revealing themselves in the appropriate form, in the appropriate moment.
Design's whispers are carried in the voice of silence.
As context changes, so too does the observer. Design is perpetually recalibrated in response to shifting environments, states of awareness, and evolving interpretations. Past impressions may fall away; new ones emerge. With each change in context, the syntax of design—and of language itself—must adapt to encompass new symbols, codes, programs, and forms. In this way, design is not fixed but dynamic: a living intelligence that co-evolves with consciousness.
In this sense, awareness, consciousness, language, and design are fundamentally synonymous—interwoven aspects of a deeper whole.
On the Quantum Field of Virtual Potential and Probability (QFVPP)
What is the Quantum Field of Virtual Potential and Probability?
The QFVPP is a theoretical substratum—an omnipresent virtual field composed of light, energy, and information. It exists as a latent matrix of all that could be known or believed, awaiting symbolic activation through observation and interpretation.
This field is characterized by the potentiality of form, manifesting as particle, wave, or force—impressions born from symbolic cognition. It symbolizes a multidimensional realm where energy flows in constant motion and transformation is eternal.
Hypothesis: A quantum field of virtual potential and probability permeates all levels of perception, imagination, and knowledge.
The QFVPP is boundless except where the observer imposes boundaries—through belief, perception, or language. It is within this state of timeless Attendance that design and consciousness become mutually reflective and co-creative. In this space, we engage what may be called Design Consciousness—the felt experience of form arising from formless potential.
Light, energy, information, consciousness, and design are not isolated phenomena but expressions of an aetheric Presence—an intelligent field of symbolic resonance. This field becomes self-evident only through the observer’s interpretive lens.
Science, in its current trajectory, attempts to measure this field through quantification and qualification—rendering abstract awareness into models that fit within existing paradigms of logic, reason, and empirical validation. Yet these efforts may capture only shadows of the full dimension—glimpses of the symbolic undercurrent that gives rise to all perceptual and conceptual reality.
Symbolic Behavior and Artificial Intelligence
Mathematics exemplifies symbolic behavior. It is a constructed language—numbers, signs, and impressions arranged with syntactic precision. In AI and computational systems, symbolic behavior allows for representation, inference, and understanding within a constrained yet scalable domain. But even here, the origin of symbolic logic is rooted in design—the ordering principle behind the intelligibility of reality.

Awareness brings forth a "sense of consciousness" by fostering correspondences and fusing the concepts of meaning and purpose. Metaphysical in content and context, quantum, fractal and holographic in representation, all forms of energy/Life are revealed and made apparent by means of Design. Design is lovingly veiled in all that can be seen, known, measured and/or felt. (07.09.2023)
Design describes a metaphysical and multidimensional process. The design process is dependent upon knowledge, understanding, intention, intuition, imagination and awareness. Design creates a network of energy in motion (EIM) between fields/states/points/agents and patterns of awareness. Design creates a virtual, symbiotic and metaphoric lattice between consciousness, the subconscious and the unconscious, the tangible and the intangible, the known and the unknown, the seen and the unseen. All forms of energy in motion are based upon principles of meaning and purpose both felt and understood. (01.13.2023)
