This abstract class creates a collection of chromosome according to 3 given parameters:
We can use these variables with the network data gathered by Carnivore to create our Gene-pools.

New Form of Brain Scan Can Read People’s Intentions
“We shouldn’t go overboard about the power of these techniques at the moment, but what you can be absolutely sure of is that these will continue to roll out and we will have more and more ability to probe people’s intentions, minds, background thoughts, hopes and emotions.“

…poses some interesting questions, and may possibly contribute to further layers of meaning within our piece…

How does your project operate in relation to de Kerchove’s discussion of the sense of presence in tele-presence?
i. Source
• the theoretical framework of consciousness and existence, clearly represented via the manifestation of its virtual, interactive simulation
ii. Shared-Space
• the user’s experience is positioned in competition with a community of elements, translated among both real and virtual realms
iii. Shared-Time
• the virtualization becomes a sun (as metaphor), creating a unified autonomous focal point, exclusive of time
iv. Interval
• the immersive responsiveness of the experience develops the sense of enraptured influence, where no level of disengagement fully absolves your effect on the system
Which aspects of the Moist Manifesto would your project realize?
Deconstructs the information, retrieved from human presence, into a translated virtual consciousness, presenting the idea of virtual spirituality; interpreting the wet as dry in its origin.
What is the programme of your architecture? What behaviour is embedded, expected, encouraged?
Extracting, mapping and interacting with network-generated frequencies. The generated information manifests in three-dimensional virtual space as fractals, with levels of data being examined by the user. Awareness of the data frequencies is imposed upon the user, spawning new vehicles for enriched experiences.
What seeds are you planting? What are you growing?
The project stems from the idea that consciousness lives in the space of data frequencies, where noise is a constant and harmonies intentional. The experience of the user is predicated upon unintentional data retrieval, which becomes malleable as the user is enlightened to the networked consciousness. With the accumulation of individual and site-specific data characteristics, the system will create a third level of being, superceding the system itself. The initial engagement starts with the user, develops into the site, communicates with the network, and manifests as a representation of consciousness.

HISTORICAL CONTEXT
A reflection drawn from the present view on the evolution of science and the understanding of the human mind (consciousness). Playing with the ahistoric qualities therein – a constant human desire to understand what it is to ‘be,’ we will also be commenting on today’s perspective of technology and its effects on religion and spirituality.
NETWORK CHARACTERISTICS
A representation of the invisible glue that holds information together – the harmonization of existing versus new.
• randomness represented through some sort of lag
• information analyzed as frequencies
• static interpreted as ‘nothingness’
• the multi-dimensionality of the ‘consciousness’ (individual, site and network as a whole) emerges only upon interaction within the network
INPUT
Brainwaves (most likely a metaphorical representation thereof) influenced via emotional manipulation caused and effected via the state of the collective consciousness being monitored.
Individual ←→ Site ←→ Group
Direct and indirect experience – the viewer, even if not aware of their manipulation of the system, cannot escape the influence they will have upon it.
STRUCTURAL
• measuring EKG frequencies (metaphorical representation thereof)
• differentiating unified experiences from random ones
• tangible representations (individual) versus abstract representations (collective)
PERCEPTUAL
Individual consciousness expands into a collective consciousness.
• begins with 1 and 0
• square wave becomes sine wave (digital to analog)
• site becomes a ‘hive’ brought about via flash-mob mentality
