This idea came to me while I was developing the Chaos Sphere Trip. For some reason, the x, y, and z positions got misaligned, and this little beauty appeared on my screen. I was mesmerized for a while, just watching it, until I realized that I had finally understood a vision from an old friend.
A couple of years ago, a fellow frater came to one of our meetings, excited about a vision he had: a Chaos Sphere with several arrows. He said there were fourteen arrows, but then added, “That’s just how I see it—actually, it seems to have infinite arrows.” Inspired by the vision, he couldn’t stop talking about its meaning: “Freedom in all dimensions, beyond our simple three-dimensional comprehension.”
With these words in mind, I believe I am finally clarifying his vision. Back then, it felt like a bit too much to take in all at once. He didn’t have the ability to “transmit the vision” clearly, if you know what I mean. But it planted a seed in my mind—a seed that has now blossomed into the n-dimensional Chaos Sphere.
I’ve been meditating on this for a while now. Since its behavior is entirely shaped by randomness—a “code coincidence”—anything that emerges from it can be interpreted in an oracular way.
It may look chaotic at first, but, like chaos itself, sometimes it reveals its hidden order, making you feel as though some “will” is guiding it.
See for yourself (and then reload the page for a bit of randomness).
In meditative states I occasionally sense these “crystal fuzzies” as I call them, just kind of moving about with no particular order. They are faint yet seem solid and crystalline, and they also seem to move rather quickly. Every now and then it would seem like one would sort of freeze, as if it were suddenly aware of my presence, and then continue on its way. I have had these occasional experiences for several years spontaneously during meditative practice, and I must say that this n-dimensional Chaos Sphere seems to mimic the behavior of one of these “crystal fuzzies” but in slow motion.
