Essays on Infinite Lifespans

from our perspective want to keep qualitatively, or improve if 
possible, under timeconsciousness transformation. 
Obviously,   emotional   communication   and   generation, 
caresses, sighs, would have to become free of  (present) body 
constraints. Can that be possible without changing its qual-
ity? Or, would one hope for a transformation of quality into 
something desirable unknown? It may seem unlikely that the 
exploration of changing qualities of the range of experience 
under  timeconsciousness  transformation  would  yield  new 
qualities preferable to those we know. But we do not know. 
We do know already that qualities of experience in dreams are 
rather similar to those in the waking state, even during this 
limited transformation. How far can this be extended? What 
new qualities can be created by more systematic and extensive 
timeconsciousness transformations?
Already we sense that music is too slow to give us its feel-
ing and content: the visual sense, video, is overtaking it in 
our culture, through its more concentrated meaning trans-
fer, with its parallel input instead of serial. A symphony takes 
too long for our relatively fast paced world. Music is used as 
background for the visual. What will happen to music under 
timeconsciousness transformation? Its art will also be trans-
formed. Problems and related aspects of that are considered 
next: logogenesis.
LOGOGENESIS
Logogenesis is the invention of nature which appears in 
evolution that substitutes a quality of feeling, of experience, 
for convoluted thought and for reflex activity. Logogenesis is 
what creates qualia, the flavor of life. Like morphogenesis it 
is genetically controlled. Quality and its cognitive substrates 
arise in our brains through a genetic program details of which
