was to formalize

e
nough to pe
rmit transmission. The
be
ginning of this transmission, and our first solution within CTP, is the
Inte

initialization proce
ss of most conte
mporary e
le
ctrobe
Swarm Syste
ms (e
SS), the
re
is Primary Symbol Inde

ate
d. This inde
x is a list of impulse
patte
rns within your mind that signify ce
rtain linguistic symbols. Within this inde
x, a plainte
xt ve
rsion of the
symbol is save
d with an array of Impulse
Finge
rprints (IF). De
pe
nding on the
symbol, this array can store
Visual, Auditory, Olfactory, Gustatory and Somatose
nsory Finge
rprints, e
ach of which have
the
ir own subcate
gorizations. The
se
finge
rprints are
State
le
ss ide
ntifications that are
ide
ntifie
d through an Impulse
Matrix Se
rie
s (IMS), me
aning that the
y do not take
into account the
conte

nt of the

y simply ide
ntify that a signal(s) at this inte
rval(t) on the

fe

Inte
rpre

che
ck the

’re
pulling from the
Thought Buffe
r (TB) and compare
its conte

PSI. The
Inte

the

inte

powe
r. Most inspiration se

a tre

ady tre
me

are
struck with the
State

ss of the
human mind. It can be
e
asy to think of the
human mind the
way we
think of compute

morie

just file

am te
chnology faile
d to be
an appropriate
proxy for the
human mind, compute

scribing the
human mind. Me
morie
s are
more
like
sums of brain configuration, as though the
me
mory was acce
sse
d through a re
sonance
in the
mind. It’s also a pale
me
taphor, but, it’s akin to binaural be
ats. The
be

cause
of how re

morie

not pre
cise
ly this, but the
y are
a sort of cognitive
sum.And me
morie
s are
far from the
only thing in the
mind that be
have
s this way. Conte
xt is incre
dibly important, othe
rwise
known as State
. This state
has to be
parse
d as we
ll whe
n transmitting Cognition from one
age
nt to anothe
r. What this state
provide
s is a gre
ate
r de
pth of me
aning that the
sum of the
symbols use
d. Though the
image
of a dog may be
what is be
ing transfe
rre
d, the
me
aning come
s from the
re
maining conte
xt of the
mind. A dog can e
voke
fe
ar or comfort, de
pe
nding on the
state
of the
mind fixate
d on the
image
. And whe
n transmitting from one
mind to anothe
r, we
do not want to miss the
me
aning conte
nt of the
me
ssage
. If a re
ce
ive
r in a transaction has a fe
ar of dogs, but the
transmitte
r has a positive
association, it is more
important that we
e
xchange
the
me
