*(T) Well, quite simply, an opened head is an enlightened person, or in the least, a receptacle for information. It's use in Associationalist parlance largely refers to the process of the Will in the creation of art or in the experience of phenomena. A closed, or unopen head, receives information through it's natural holes -- ie, basically, the senses; in this system, the senses act for the unopened head as a filter, preceding the nuero-associative collander through which the ephemera of Incident and Accident must pass. The open head, by contrast, has information poured right into it, without filter and association. In short, the opened head is used by Associationalists as a pejorative, and by the Accidentalists as a precise description of "poetic readiness." *(T) Well, quite simply, an opened head is an enlightened person, or in the least, a receptacle for information.

 +-- [[User:Payne|Payne]] 20:34, 17 May 2005 (EDT) Here are a few snatches from Moby-Dick that could be dropped into non canon text:
 +:“…the head was hoisted against the ship’s side-about half way out of the sea, so that it might yet in great part be buoyed up its native element… there, that blood-dripping head hung to the Pequod’s waist like the giant Holofernes’s from the girdle of Judith…”
 +:“It was a black and hooded head; and hanging there in the midst of so intense a calm, it seemed the Sphynx’s in the desert. ‘Speak, thou vast and venerable head,’ muttered Ahab…”
 +:“Man may, in effect, be said to look out on the world from a sentry-box with two joined sashes for his window.”
 +:“…a sharp cracking noise was heard; and to the unspeakable horror of all, one of the two enormous hooks suspending the head tore out, and with a vast vibration the enormous mass sideways swung, till the drunk ship reeled and shook as if smitten by an iceberg.”

This Non-Can text should be developed into a full-blown article....takers?

  • (T)I'm busy making pitchers, goddamit! --DBlase is almost done, then i can do some more tub graphics.
  • (SV) I think this page is a big one a s far as portraying the people who investigate this stuff-us and the many methods of extrpolation (Devices and comedy et al) we use to get deeper meanings out of it and probably could be taken many directions. What about sveral long articles in this section that deal with our new owl and goat threads? I would like to add that i think the graphics need to be vaporized (made more real)if you know what i mean, not just post the best picture we can find, although i am not one to suffer a poob bargain.

Payne 08:55, 27 Apr 2005 (EDT): a couple odd definitions for "opened head":

  • an opened head is toilet with the seat left up (e.g., the wife hates it when i leave the lou with an opened head)
  • an opened head is also a mulsim w/o a head wrap
  • an opened head is a name for all the psychic phenomena that a culture experiences. It is the home of released terrors wheras the unopened head more accuratley represents the collective unconscious. Opened head equal Pandora's box, Unopened head equals Schrodingers box. or something
