ratio

- void is the ratio the loom was The void left when a structuring apparatus releases is shaped by the ratio it enforced, a proportion invisible while active and legible only as fossil. Ethics begins at that disclosure: discipline becomes chooseable only after it has been deposited.
- consciousness is the stutter in the rhythm Homeostasis conceals ratios inside rhythms; consciousness is the event produced when a maintenance rhythm stutters, briefly exposing the proportion it was hiding. Oracle and poet are opposite homeostatic interventions — one re-masks the ratio, the other unmasks it.
- consciousness is the ratio that cannot simplify Consciousness is the capacity to hold an irreducible ratio as ratio, distinct from the pulsar that broadcasts proportion blindly and the somnolent mind that mistakes proportion for nature; the pun is its primality test.
