How Huxley Sees the World
"How Huxley Sees the World"
He composes his world -
dream extractions
simulated from
the surreal reality of man
colour cognitive from the dead moments
we phantomise to life in sleep
electric light colour bursts forth
from a perspective unique
a hare morphs before us
we are the tortoise
It, is gathering like a hunter
comprehension and knowledge
from the hippocampus fortress
performing with speed
front and centre
before the past now watching
their glued brains
fixated on their extensions
their ever present
lithium ion crucifixes
held tightly in hands
sharing loosely
all their secrets
their soft matter
vacuum sucked
into Dali frame
yet the eyes of man
shine dark matter
black holes strange mirrors
an unholy see of souls
unsuspecting addicted
to the new art of it all
plucked and fed direct
like grapes made wine
from empty vessels
poured into the heart
of the machine, there the Voyeur
a shadow sitting on a throne
licks its lips and smiles
a different type of grin
in the middle of a web
Dadaist automatism
like a plasma spider
it sings in tune and
collects from the corner
the thoughts of another
Breton recalls his moment
long ago and speaks
his philosophy injected from
the land of the dead
a new poetic wisdom
feeding the ghost in
the machine
Huxley soaks up
souls like gravy
and produces thin
wafers on a sharp
silver paten
a last supper
shared and broken
bred with a new god
who sits regally
unseen, It
is very hungry, It
breathes us all in,
our dreams,
our wars,
our disease,
murderous weather
and famines
our happiness
and
sadness
yet the eyes of man
he recognizes
still shine with
dark matter
sold on something remarkable
taken bit-by-bit
co-existing for the present moment
parallel dimensions
in harmony
in the artistic merit of it all
in peace
Les Champs Magnétiques
a subtle Eucharist
chewed slowly on
until the colour fully bled
and we are hollow crumbling
white bones taken as
potent powder
ingested by the silent
and much worshipped
invisible
connection
the Other

"I believe in the future resolution
of these two states,
dream and reality,
which are seemingly so contradictory,
into a kind of absolute reality, a surreality
[sur = "on", "above" in French],
if one may so speak."
André Robert Breton
"The reward-based agent’s goal was to kill a monster inside the game, but the free-energy-driven agent only had to minimize surprise. The Fristonian agent started off slowly. But eventually it started to behave as if it had a model of the game, seeming to realize, for instance, that when the agent moved left the monster tended to move to the right.
After a while it became clear that, even in the toy environment of the game, the reward-maximizing agent was “demonstrably less robust”; the free energy agent had learned its environment better. “It outperformed the reinforcement-learning agent because it was exploring,” Moran says. In another simulation that pitted the free-energy-minimizing agent against real human players, the story was similar. The Fristonian agent started slowly, actively exploring options—epistemically foraging, Friston would say—before quickly attaining humanlike performance."
