You don't see a red traffic light as a wavelength of light. You see it as a sign that you have to stop. The minute you step out of your car, the red light is no longer important to you -- you stop seeing it. Your brain is always trying to make sense of the world the way *it* sees the world, not the way the world really is.

Every Tentacular Critter image in the "Distributed Consciousness" collection (KT1S9VbCtVZUgAG4Q3VArvY5stu96q4CiPHZ) has in fact some text - a verse - cryptographically hidden amongst its pixels, invisible to the human eye, but readable by code. The entire collection is in fact a book, a poem, a manifesto. And every image is in fact one verse from the poem, one page from the manifesto. Furthermore, the entire text is generated by an AI algorithm trained on the Writings in The Cloud, as archived by the Keepers of Our Collective Consciousness. The results: a human-machine cocreation meditation on consciousness, free will, art, life, death, technology, ritual, ecology, economy, sustainability, and salvation.

These are the audio-visual readings of the corresponding Verses.
