THE SOCIAL PLAY OF CLASSICAL AND QUANTUM COMPUTING

In this site, Antonio Cassella broaches his exploration of the return of Quetzalcoatl with a vision of third attention as a hypothetical reflex of the roots of autism, creativity, madness, and  progress. 

In 1936, Gene Autry popularized the verses . . .

"Than come sit by my side if you love me,

Do not hasten to bid me adieu,

But remember the Red River Valley

And the one that has loved you so true."

Quetzalcoatl will return if we stop hunting others, after grasping . . .

1. why the finite speed and locality of classical computing--in the certain spacetime of our first attention, repetitive memory, "yes or no," and perfect faith--make a necessary but insufficient MIRACLE to invite autistics and our autistic side to . . .
2. "reach simultaneously distinct places," in the nonlocal MIRACLE of the infinite speed and ubiquity of quantum computing--the ambiguous hyperspace of our second attention, imagination, "yes and no", or less-than-perfect hope; and why, after falling into the madness of our schizophrenic side, a lying tyrant cannot witness . . .
3.  the MIRACLE of the third attention, through which we "share with others the same space at the same time" (coincidence); for example, when we smile after a wordplay, laugh  after our falls, and cry when others fall.

As the anthropologist Carlos Castaneda implied before dying, the magic of the Yaqui shaman don Juan is real in the arcane freedom of the mind that recreates reality for the good of all.

We can overcome madness by  allying the 1st. with the 2nd., into the  third attention. 

Here are some  examples:

• The transfiguration of Christ (3) between Elias (2), and Moses (1) on a mountain (Mark 9:2-8);
• the stones Thummim and Urim, kept by Moses in the  Ark of the Covenant;
• the meeting of Laozi and Kong-Fuzi (5th. century Before the Common Era);
• the Will of Sita to protect Rama's progeny from the perfidy of Ravana;
• Krishna's advice to Arjuna to transfigure the victims of his Gandiva bow;
• the Love between the Persian King Ahasuerus (Xerxes I) and the valiant Queen Esther; 
• wal-Mi'raj, or Muhammad's return to the Black Stone in Mecca, after his al-'Isra' journey to the farthest mosque; and
• Quetzalcoatl's promise, before leaving Mesoamerica with the Morning Star (Venus) in the 9th. century BCE, that he would return.

In the hypothetical "logos heuristics" (or "Λ"), found by Antonio Cassella after crossing science with ancient philosophy and mysticism, the  bird-serpent "Quetzal-coatl" will abandon the diabolical use of quantum computing ruled by the Moon; and return with the Evening Star (Venus).  

Quetzalcoatl will return to lead each of us to our third point, in line with the nature of Progress in the universe and the anti-universe (described in the page "echoes of logos" at "autism[logos]."

Knowledge of the roots of Progress and of autism will shake the third point  in most individuals. The Third Point  knocks at our door when we comprehend (Vision) and try (Will) to boost with our enemies the Third Attention, or the alliance (3) between:

1. perfect memory, in the classical computing (underlined) of being/"yes" opposed to nonbeing/"no," the 1st. attention, finite spacetime, grammar in our native language, the shared rules, routines, or prototypical schemata adored by our autistic facet and negated by our schizophrenic facet; and . . .
2. the less-than-perfect imagination adored by our artistic, creative, malicious, or diabolical facet, following the quantum computing (bold) of being-and-nonbeing/"maybe,"  the 2nd. attention, infinite hyperspace, doubt, dilemma, paradox, hope, humor, the unknown, deceit, the immersion in a problem, the contrasting hypotheses about potential solutions; and the pragmatics behind the use of figures of speech, the subjunctive, the conditional. and pronouns.

For different reasons, both autistics and schizophrenics cannot seize the union of classical computing ( (1, underlined) with quantum computing (2, bold) into the third attention (3, highlighted in Cassella's printed books with bold and underlining, or with an initial capital). 

Autistics, who imagine what they see (sanity), oppose schizophrenics, who see what they imagine (insanity). And both miss the mental  fluidity that invites dancers who can imagine what they see and see what they imagine into flying with beauty, elegance, and charm.  

• Since infancy, autistics cannot leave shared-repetition, step on the bridge of quantum coherence, and embrace  our schizophrenic facet or offer the other cheek to the slap of our enemies; and 
• in adulthood, schizophrenics cannot find the bridge of quantum de-coherence in returning to a renovated reality and the social triumph of shared Progress (irregular initial capital).

Autistics cannot seize the malice of the Green Goblin; and schizophrenics cannot step in the shoes of Spider-man. The former cannot go; and the latter cannot return. 

Unlike the union of the crook and flail in Osiris, Moses, Albus Dumbledore, Harry Potter, don Juan, Carlos Castaneda, Spider-man, and Quetzalcoatl, since he says, "I will be back," the first Terminator (the actor Arnold Schwarzenegger) returns without returning.

As with Tom Hanks in the film Cast Away, we are all prisoners in an island in which we cannot turn our back on time.

• From classical computing and the sanity of our autistic facet in +1, through the magic of quantum computing and the creative thought of our artistic facet in 2, if we escape our insane schizophrenic facet in -1, we will see the light at the end of the tunnel, or the cognitive roots of the third attention in 3. 
• After that, if we decide to win with our enemies in helping future children reach their Third Point, our Will will help us cross the tunnel, seize the wisdom of Osiris, and reach our third point.
