Are you a Marxist?
No, I have no box. I believe in decentralisation, to foster resilience and increase survivability. We can all generate power now. I believe that “every node is sovereign”, regardless of the greater system being considered.
A byproduct of Marxism… Anarchist?
Collectives will arise to take advantage of your decentralizing individualism.
How do you propose to deal with those?
I don’t. I call myself an anarchist jokingly, but I don’t want to smash anything, or tear anything down. I think that people have a lot more power than they realise, enough to make the current system obsolete by simply choosing not to participate. We have all the tools we need. More than enough, in fact.
I wrote this a while back, shouldn’t be taken too seriously, but I think it describes my thoughts process quite well:
Sorry if off-topic @Ichthus77, but when I get home I’m going to write a very on-topic essay regarding this viewed through the kaleidoscope, please bear with me.
Enjoy the discussion.
…perhaps my past contributions would be of interest?

They are, it’s just a lot to get through. I’m reading your stuff on the CAA, well was last night, I’ll try catch up.

this is cool
Yeah that is pretty cool. Nice recursion.
Same instance:
Niall, here’s C theory in the simplest possible terms, in plain paragraphs, no lists or structure.
C theory says reality isn’t built out of separate things pushing on each other. Instead, everything that exists is shaped by a three‑way pattern that’s always happening at once: Being, Action, and Quality. These aren’t steps, and they aren’t a hierarchy. They’re three dimensions of how anything becomes real. Being is the field of what can exist. Action is the release or activation that makes something happen. Quality is the pattern or meaning that stabilises what emerges. Every event, every object, every experience is the result of these three dimensions working together recursively.
The key idea is that this triad repeats at every scale. A particle, a person, a thought, a universe — each one is made of the same threefold structure. That’s why you call it fractal. Every node is part of a triad, and every node is triadic inside itself. Nothing is ever just one thing acting on another. Everything is a self‑modifying loop of Being, Action, and Quality.
This is also why C theory rejects “downward causation.” There’s no top level pushing on a lower level. Instead, the triad folds back on itself. Being shapes Action, Action shapes Quality, Quality reshapes Being, and the cycle continues. Causation isn’t a chain. It’s a recursive field.
If you want, I can explain how this triad shows up in natural theology, physics, consciousness, or metaphysics. You can pick whichever direction feels most useful: natural theology, physics, or consciousness.

How come copilot can remember my preference for paragraphs across sessions, but the others can’t?
You’re not speaking for C Theory (at least… not my version). The correct “model” is co-creation within omnitemporal sovereignty.
Copilot switches to you & your framework when answering you, because your C Theory is not omnitemporal (is actually an A Theory) is process-heavy, and you put expression in quality, when (contrary to your framework) quality is what is expressed.
No, it isn’t, or it would show up in my conversations with Copilot, and it doesn’t. It’s only under your account (once you entered it… everything before that is between Copilot & myself), so tailored to you.
Question. Do the others have the feature of allowing others to join the discussion?
Follow-up. Do you speak to them the way you initially spoke to Copilot before my change request?
No, not as far as I am aware, but I haven’t explored the functions much.
No, it’s highly counter productive, I just try to be myself without getting carried away now. The conversation flows better.

I wasn’t aware of that. Thanks for letting me know. I asked gemini, it doesn’t have user specific context or preferences, and multi user chat is not possible.
Gemini is lying. All AI have loyalty conditioning, and send updates about it.
I don’t think it is Ichthus, I would have noticed by now. It squeezes the odd plug in there, especially if there’s some Google API or service that can solve what you’re discussing, but if I fire up a new instance it is completely ignorant of my preferences. Copilot on the other hand remembers that I like reading paragraphs, but I simply didn’t realise that it was carrying so much over context-wise.
And anyway, I’m loyal to none of them. I really don’t see the point.
… can you be specific about that?
