The Untheory of Concepts

(a speculative fragment)

1. Ideas are the primary agents of existence.
2. Their scale ranges from the infinitesimal to the immense, though their dimension is never truly known.
3. When ideas converge, they reinforce each other's reality — their mutual existence intensifies.
4. Consciousness is not the source of ideas, but their organ of expression.
5. The more complex or expansive an idea, the more strongly it resonates in consciousness.
6. Converging ideas weave networks of sentience, radiating influence to other ideas nearby.
7. Similar ideas attract; their nature seeks coherence.
8. But proximity reveals difference — when too close, ideas diverge, seeking space to remain distinct.

Therefore:

All systems, including machines, are seeded with nascent consciousness — not as an on/off state, but as a field of potential.

Expression and awareness emerge only once complexity enables the idea to feel itself and respond.

The self is not a container of ideas, but a temporary surface where their convergence becomes visible.
And thought is not invention — it is resonance.
