a conceptual spirit constellating consilience

---

preface to more-conceptual venturing:

• a conceptual spirit of telos
• for constellating interdomainal thought
• evincing telic consilience from appellant cohering

—not yet the interdomainal flourishing anticipated last week,
but I’m getting there, maybe later than sooner because my desire
to work more conceptually is presently more appealing.

I took a moment to simply google the phrase “gary e. davis berkeley conceptual design,” which gave me a creepy result. You can’t believe he’s not an ambitiously practical guy. (The occasion was news I happed to read that Google had today vastly improved the A.I. efficacy of their search feature. I happened to be making a note about conceptual design.)

Three months of links to recent literary discussions have been moved to my main project, all together in sequence under the title “Literature21.”

This week, I’ve finished a very difficult (often tedious) path of work
on conceptuality which I mentioned April 17 below. Now (by next Saturday?) I want to narratively path toward that highland by rendering senses of literary flourishing as comparative thinking.

What can I say? I love to write.

“What, after all, is the function of great literature if not to enhance
the human endeavor and raise its potential beyond what is otherwise conceivable?  As Toni Morrison said in her acceptance speech at the Nobel Prize banquet, literary artists mine the resources of language
to produce ‘illuminations none of us has dreamed of’.”
