The Birth Of A New Fact Is Always A Wonderful Thing To Experience. It's Dualistically Called A "discovery" Because Of The Presumption That It Has An Existence Independent Of Anyone's Awareness Of It. When It Comes Along, It Always Has, At First, A Low Value. Then, Depending On The Value-looseness Of The Observer And The Potential Quality Of The Fact, Its Value Increases, Either Slowly Or Rapidly, Or The Value Wanes And The Fact Disappears.

The Only Difference Between Causation And The Value Is That The Word "cause" Implies Absolute Certainty Whereas The Implied Meaning Of "value" Is One Of Preference. In Classical Science It Was Supposed That The World Always Works In Terms Of Absolute Certainty And That "cause" Is The More Appropriate Word To Describe It. But In Modern Quantum Physics All That Is Changed. Particles "prefer" To Do What They Do. An Individual Particle Is Not Absolutely Committed To One Predictable Behavior. What Appears To Be An Absolute Cause Is Just A Very Consistent Pattern Of Preferences.

In A Car You're Always In A Compartment, And Because You're Used To It You Don't Realize That Through That Car Window Everything You See Is Just More Tv. You're A Passive Observer And It Is All Moving By You Boringly In A Frame. On A Cycle The Frame Is Gone. You're Completely In Contact With It All. You're In The Scene, Not Just Watching It Anymore, And The Sense Of Presence Is Overwhelming.
