lightbox

An emergent theory of space-time in which the speed of the fastest phenomenon is limited by the aggregate amount of the material in the universe, material has no discrete point of origin, and space is infinitely large.

Stipulates that any "fastest" phenomenon in the universe ie. light must have a discrete origin point.

Argues that in contrast to approaching the speed of light requiring all the material in the universe, achieving infinite speed requires no mass at all and would cause linear time to stand completely still.

Posits that the universe moves infinitely fast outside of itself obviating the existence of other universes ie. outside of the universe it is eternally now.

Lightbox argues that there are two obverses but there is only one inverse.

intermorality

Idea that the present is a place between Eden and heaven.

Intermorality is post-apocalyptic.
It views the present as the valley between the peaks of Eden and heaven.

Intermorality proffers that since destruction has already occured; personal deconstruction of the postmodern variety does not bring enlightenment.

modernism

A state in which irony becomes existentially externalized; usually through the introduction of new technology which is a skeuomorph of prior technology e.g. factories replacing farms in the era of late 1880's industrialization.

Modernism shifted parody from the literary to the existential; and heavily foreboded the existential self-parody of postmodernism.

duty-aesthetic

Desire or self-consciousness as outside of man's control.

Fatalistic desire.

Borrowing from Schopenhaur, duty-aesthetic argues that man has the power-to-desire and the desire-to-will but he does not have the power to will.

That is, will is a subset of desire.

Duty-aesthetic argues that ironically man lacks power over the power-to-desire (self-power) because power is something man can have not something man can be.
