Just an idea, why don't we try to produce writing through feedback by shooting ideas at each other. And for me the 'Po' relationship is still one of the best sources of weird creativity, just remember RAW and his lepufology.

So may I suggest for the sake of argument

"Time-binding PO Morphogenetic fields"

Quark's link to the Burroughs page in the 'Influences on RAW' topic somehow made me think of Sheldrake's experiments.

"Korzybski, who developed the concept of General Semantics, the meaning of meaning, has pointed out this human distinction and described man as "the time binding animal." He can make information to other men over a length of time through writing. Animals talk. They don't write. Now a wise old rat may know a lot about traps and poison but he cannot write a text book on Death Traps in Your Warehouse for the Reader's Digest with tactics for ganging up on digs and ferrets and taking care of wise guys who stuff steel wool up our holes."

Maybe men need the art of writing (or in general, symbols and archetypes) because somewhere on their way to civilisation they lost the ability to decipher DNA. I'm thinking of Sheldrake's lab experiences in which smart rats interbreeding became smarter, but stupid rats interbreeding became smarter as well - all in regard to the concept of morphogenetic fields, entangling everything (like Dustin Hoffmann with his blanket in I Love Huckabees), an experience to show the connectedness between living critters. In this regard animals could be considered time-binding as well, but by nature and not by nurture. I'd also relate this to the ideas in Jeremy Narby's mindblowing book "The Cosmic Serpent", where he considers that all life contains a hidden 'intelligence' concealed in its DNA.

And it also reminds me of the visions I recieved during Antero's Angel Tech last year, pertaining to the Phaestos disk. And my illumination, floating on epsom salts in my bathtub (heh): 'It is by writing down the helix into lifetree that the First One forces all qualities and worldviews to be written upon maps as this disk witnesses'

We are made up… of information.

SO… any reactions to this?
