Seeking defintions: Matrix, Potentiator, & Significator

[ricdaw]

The Significator is the Surfer standing on a surfboard.

The Potentiator is the ocean under the surfboard.

The Matrix is the surfboard and the Desire to surf somewhere.

But this Surfer's Desire has a magical property. While it feels to the Surfer like an intangible thing "I want to do this," in actuality the merest Desire broadcasts a Signal in all directions from the Surfer. Those signals fall into the Waters of the Potentiator. If the Surfer desires the beach, the Potentiator builds the land and the beach in front of the Surfer. If the Surfer desires a challenge, the Potentiator builds a giant wave behind the Surfer. If the Surfer wants a respite, the Potentiator manifests a boat on the horizon. If the Surfer wants company, the Potentiator manifests another Surfer . . . .
In physical actuality, the Potentiator makes the physical environment and sustains it. In temporal actuality, the Potentiator causes all Events to happen.

Now let's go up one more level.

Before the Surfer, there was only Ocean.
The Ocean dreamed of the Surfer.
And the Surfer became "complex" and aware.
Inside the dream the Surfer begged the Ocean, "Let me explore your vast expanses. Let me dive to your depest depths. Free me!"
And the Ocean so Loved the Dream Surfer that a Matrix was constructed upon which the Dream figure could surf.

We are all such Surfers.
