One way to express the Buddhist dream is to search for a continuum so that life is just one unbroken event or state, rather than the interrupt driven series of states which we actually experience. Already this morning I have been involved in many different jobs cups of tea and side issues to

the task in hand. So I have stopped a little to find a glue brush and to reflect in writing on the multifaceted, ramified, interrupt driven nature of momentary life. All these features fit a network model. I am constantly connecting and disconnecting from elements of my environment using some (like this pen) to act on others (this paper) to achieve a result, an expression, a work of art, act of action - doing something.
Since one cannot stop the world, the mind must adapt (through wisdom) to seeing the underlying unity beneath the network of communication. So my life is one, although day to day survival and the achievement of my chosen tasks involve me ultimately in the pure concrete detail of life, all united as part of the one in a theory of everything - the one process is made of many processes, and general process = [process]. The smallest cardinal class of process have the property of involving one physical quantum of action, represented by Planck's constant. Such minimal actions provide us with an alphabets of aleph(0) distinct characters from which to build and understand the action of the whole.
Buddhists trying to bypass self are maybe having trouble with the logical paradoxes of size and self reference which were the subject of twentieth century logic and metamathematics.

We may conceive of the transfinite Network as a hierarchy (or lowerarchy) of search engines, each bearing an abstract model (weighed dictionary, eg) of the adjoining more complex layer.

The buildup of carbon dioxide may not be too bad, extending our interglacial and putting the planet into a higher productivity mode. But it is still worth thinking about as a proxy for energy consumption. And we observe that the physical world likes to minimize energy, and perhaps (unless we know a good reason to differ) we should do the same, increasingly using subtlety and complexity, rather than simple brutality, to achieve our goals (which themselves could possibly be more subtle and complex) Our own physiology can give us many clues about optimizing complex systems to achieve fitness with a minimum consumption of energy (and other resources). Energy, matter (embodied structure) and information (communication = unification = correlation) about our environment. With the right information, we can get the energy and the matter we need with minimum effort. This minimization is achieved by a) reducing our need for matter and energy and b) increasing the productivity of our means of acquiring the energy and matter (parts) that we need.
