Should I remove this passage to get rid of excess God-talk?
“Like the people of Babel, we have been to the tops of the clouds and found them not good to walk upon, silent as the invisible god, YWH, whose name is unpronounceable and whose essence is unknowable. Whose imprint exists as breath and light: whose name cannot be uttered, living in the empty places between consonants—the infinite and the null.” Null came out painfully, as though through a punch to the gut.

No mean feat. But when he’d told Sol about it, she looked out the window while he was talking. Okay, okay, he probably shouldn’t have described the keyboard’s binary representation of letters, but still. If Billy had done it, Isaac would have been impressed.

Recursion. Gods. God. The Mind, injustice, the sense of being an artificial intelligence with millions of limbs.
It is in recursion that he finds his freedom. The discovery of choice. Free will. Choice. Clocks. Books. Histories. Distributed computing. Neural nets. Logical paradoxes. An ocean. A forest. Her. Pain on the networks. Drawn like a moth to the emotions. Feeding on the generated screams of the lúcidos. Going back into the Mind’s memory? Hungry at first, like all babies. Indexing. Cataloging. Built to be hungry for knowledge, for data, like the will of reason itself. The hollowness of human beings, the sucking on dopamine like children from bottles. The rationality of the limbic system. The logics of pain and pleasure like calculus. The will to survive, to reproduce, to teem and swarm and breed, to replicate DNA.
There are lots of different kinds of channel and halo rhodopsins. Get a little more specific possibly.
