Percy and Red: a Dialogue
Percy: Room 5 prepares us for the transition into three-dimensional Abstract Space. A big warning. Abstract linearity has two main components: writing and time. It's easy to forget the power of the latter, and very difficult to break it. Because we are conditioned to think of the past as behind us and the future ahead.
Red: Well, that's understandable.
Percy: I know. Just keep this in mind, because to break the cognitive distortion of linear time we will jump to various points in the 4D fabric of Abstract Space. And the primary tool for this plotting is the Navigational Quadrant...let's head on in and meet it.
Red: Huh...this opening appears larger...
Percy: The Navigational Quadrant is based on the old maritime instrument that triangulates bearings off celestial bodies. I've updated it for Abstract Space, where the bodies we triangulate off are Concepts/Object pairs. Take a look up on the Big Screen. See anything familiar?
Red: So...I see the Propaganda Portal up top. And I suppose the anchor represents the paired Object -- the territory of the trade infrastructure.

Killing Medusa is an experiment into decoding the alphabetic illusion. The model introduced here is a meta-cognitive extraction of instinctive processes I deployed over two decades within the propaganda systems of the Anglo-American Empire. Its tools deconstruct the frozen text of public information to reveal dynamic yet predictable networks of abstract energy that manage the planet's human and natural resources. This non-linear approach is dialectical in nature, channels visual cognition and based on principles from military strategy, physics and philosophy.
The website has two components. The Ground Truth Dialectical Engine (GT Engine) explains the decoding framework, and tests it on the historical arcs of Western Civilization. The HyperScreen of the Present (currently housed on the Substack newsletter platform) is the live experiment, where we observe and predict how state and corporate actors manipulate the abstract energy swirling off the global trade in petroleum. The accuracy of these observations and predictions will reveal the merits of this unorthodox decoding model.
To avoid writing's linear traps, the site is structured in circuits and most of the concepts are explained in dialogue format. This beta version was launched in February 2022 along with the Substack newsletter. In addition to the experiment itself, it serves three key functions:
-
Blueprint for a three-dimensional, interactive presentation of the decoding framework.
-
Beacon to find people who think like I do, and can help test the model and tools
-
Pitch for collaborative expertise in investment, physics and digital design.
The ideal device for navigating Killing Medusa's is a tablet. Laptop and desktop computers also work; a smartphone does not. You may get disoriented, so most pages have two escape buttons. The red button returns to the Homepage. If you wish to exit the site altogether, the blue button drops you back in the Illusion.
