Stories are a series of words which form the abstractions necessary to direct the human condition to a higher state. These stories, as words, are repeated as a series of mantras that give a lasting image through which humanity is formed. A story is repeated and this repeated story forms the unactualized subconscious into a conscious state where man becomes that which is repeated.
It is through the use of analogy and metaphor in which a story is formed. These analogies and metaphors tie together seemingly seperate phenomena into a common goal of working together to produce a different state of consciousness.
For example the parable, a story, of the difficulty a rich man's ability to reach salvation being equivalent to a "camel passing through the eye of a needle" represents the tying together of seemingly different qualities, such as "camel" and "needle" under a message of "difficulty". One set of images relates to another resulting in the abstract tying together of phenomenon to form an image beyond the qualities themselves. It is this image creation, through which mankind operates, that guides the forming of the subconscious into a new state.
The analogous comparison of phenomenon to machines necessitates an inherent zietgeist of domination between classes. The machine, specifically the robot, is determined by an inherent input/output of commands through which a phenomenon responds according to the orders given. It is this inout/output of orders which necessitates an inherent subservience of the robot as equivalent to a slave.
With the analogy of comparing a phenomenon to a machine/robot, be it nature or man, comes an inherent subconscious approach to viewing reality as subservient to another class of being. One class of being actualized and another is left in an unactualized state supporting the efforts of those actualizing. This subservience reflects an inherent zietgeist of dominance between beings where phenomena are less viewed as working together for a common good to a dialogue between master and servant.
This master/slave dialectic is rooted in the nature of computation, with computation being rooted in a basic input/output mode of being equivalent to a process of giving and taking orders. The analogous approach of comparing phenomenon to "systems" is an analogous approach to a master/slave dialectic which promotes an intrinsic seperation between phenomenon as that which rules and that which is ruled. This further reflects a class distinction that promote inequality and an opposing dualistic tension between beings. This inequality is the expression of the inability for all being to reach a fully individualized mode of being at the expense of another group.
This artificial tension, created through the idolization of physical phenomenon through pragmaticism, results in an inherent slave state where the ability to carve reality into forms (much in the same manner physical being is formed and reformed into technology) reflects the promotion of an upper and lower class rooted in the pursuit of luxury for one and the act of perpetual serfdom for another.
Technology is the idolization of luxury, a freedom from working together with being, in an effort to create a ruling class and a series of automatons that subject their own nature to that of pleasing the whims of an upper class. This artificially created dichotomy represents a deeper underlying theme of struggle between the classes where technology reflects an increasing dehumanization of human work in an effort to created a slave state where commands are given and received without question. This absence of question is an absence of the degree of freedom necessary for individuation to occur in a manner where being is able to reach a higher state. The inability to question is the inability to "know" an higher source through the form of dialectic.
It is the continual analogies of being to "systems", "machines" or "robots", which reflect a class struggle with this root being "watered" under the term of "computation". "Computation" is another word for "orders" with these orders being followed without question at the expense of freedom of being.
"Computation", as "orders", is thus another means of defining reality through a process of story telling where the original nature of the story, as a means of guiding human behavior into a higher state, is replaced to a theme of serfdom. These stories are rooted in creating a series of forms, much in the same manner as a program, meant to guide human behavior. Computation thus becomes a new "god" as the "god" is a series of words, through stories, which act as repeated mantras which direct the human capacity to act. With the change of interpreting reality to one of "input/output" is a change of the human condition to one of a sole pursuit of baser instincts through the a "god" called luxury.
With the replacement of the story, for an system of input/output, is a replacement of the nature of the human condition from a universal brotherhood moving towards a higher good to a master slave dialectic where a class tension results between a dichotomy between classes. It is this dichotomy between classes which results in a sense of contradiction, rather than harmony, that reflects the paradigm of how reality is interpretted.
The analogies of being operating as "systems", grounded in "computation", which reflects a paradigm shift in how reality is interpretted under a series of gods that equate themselves to stories that guide the human condition.
