A World in Transition - Approaching the Evolutionary Eventhorizon      Personal Mission Statement:

Incremental marker points of human development have been recorded throughout the span of recorded history, as reference coordinates by which the scale, complexity, and velocity of such evolutionary development can be measured.

Compression is now occurring, however, in both temporal and functional domains.

The incremental partitioning of major transitional thresholds which may have at one point been measured in terms of millennia, then centuries, and more recently, in decades, is now compressing down time spans of a few years, and perhaps in the near term, increments of months and weeks, and ultimately, to a critical mass temporal singularity.

Proportional with an acceleration of temporal compression is an acceleration of functional complexity, or what I refer to here as the "convergence syndrome".

As a process, events, technologies, belief systems, cultural and societal paradigms, even the very definitions of life itself, are becoming ever more interconnected and interdependent on a global scale. In this newly emerging domain, nothing is isolated or autonomous.

For better or for worse, we will collectively know, well within our current lifetimes, and indeed, quite likely within a short handful of years, what these various test increments will consist of, how they will be negotiated, and what the outcome shall be.

Example Primary Process Elements of the Emergent Evolutionary Eventstream:

Biotechnology

Nanotechnology

Synthetic Sentience as a Process Commodity

Process Brokeraging Architectures of Virtual Commodity Assets

Biophyscial Interface to Quantum Conciousness
