The naked ape's mindseed h a r b o r s a p e r n i c i o u s s e e d fl o w e r - t h a t sickly
tropism - compelling i t to hallucinate patterns, garlands of imagined
meaning entwined through random datascramble.
-Apophenia, t h e y t e r m t h i s d e l u s i o n a l weedbloom.
Apopenia speaks to humanity's ubiquitous tendency towards seeking
g a r d e n p a t h p a t t e r n s amongst random l i f e - s h r a p n e l . . .
From Greek roots, apo (away) and phaenein (to show), Apophenia reflects
how the delusioned mind fi r s t experiences its raptures as blazing
epiphanies...

- And y e t c o n t r a s t e d w i t h t r u e e p i p h a n y ' s i n s i g h t s fl o w e r i n g i n t e r -
connectivity's deepest gardenroots, Apophenia bears but solipsistic,
paranoid, f r a c t a l delusions and s e l f - r e f e r e n t i a l delerium buds o f
being "observed, eavesdropt - t a i l e d b y s t r a n g e r s t h r o u g h everyday
life".
Which g a r d e n p a t h w i l l you follow?

- To the l e f t you'll see the mere mutational l i g u i s t i c s o f r e a l i t y.
