Community Autopsi
                                        by Brian Hayes

When we talk community--

a multiplex emerges--
a multitude of behavior--
a multitude of discipline:

a multiplexipline.

Community is a contextual envelope--

a dynamic of influence--

prime anthropological stuff:

See   "Social Imitation Theory"
        "Mutual Contingency"
        "Attribution Control Modeling"
        "Transference"
        "Exchange Theory"
        "Bargaining"

The overt/covert power of "The Cue".

Stimuli in finite nodes of "Decision trees".

Chains of expectations.

Some say:

1) authenticity determined by context;
legitimacy determined by context;
validity determined by context;

Some say:

2) an environment, 
literal and the spatial,
left and right brain,
lists and algorithms,
forms and flows,
indexes and events.

Some say:

3) Bi-Synchronized. Bi-Synchronized Spectral Stimuli.

Some say:

`probabilistic logic for the synthesis of reliable organisms from unreliable components' .

The dismaying sprawl in a pluralist locus of vigor, perhaps victory.

The beta testing is in place.
The frontal lobe has fixed upon the icon.
The allegory of reliability enter the field.

The by-sync cyber meets capitalist, christian and cowboy:

tolls, polls and policy rolls
along the way
from plankton to pulsar.

Community is a phenomenon of diversity--

the brain-buzz, 
the belly-bark
between stasis and stream, 
between order and chaos;

the function of character.

Hold.
Release.
Formality meets aspiration.

Conquest meets chance.

Inspiration survives space/time debugging.

Autonomy finds an egalitarian perspective.

Community is

an upload/download data collapse field;
an insurance policy of multiple options;
a dynamic organization with the property of self-organizing;
the executive HQ of the milieu;

Community is

an aggregate of isomorphic parallels,
the prime material of interaction--

the relationship resource--
restraining,
retraining,
restoring
the curiosity of breathing: 

Sleuth meets sloth. 
Demonstrable intelligence. 
Aspiration.  

Community is

billions of rapidities,
mobilizing point to place,
place to point;

a knitwork network:

an intermodal multinodal
kinetic model of comprehension--

the modeling of mind to mechanism.

Community is

cognitive;

a dissemination of decision support systems;

Community is

cybernetic memory; 

a service where method follows motive.

Community is

operator transparent.

Community is

a perpetual resource of the frontier--

an endless impact phenomena--
an endless recovery of transitional direction.

Community is

a public aristocracy of popular sovereignty;
an agglomerate power base of fractional unity.

Community is

totalitarianism with always a future;
democracy with never a death.

Community is

force everywhere, 
capably narrowing self .

Community is

revolution where force is mute.

Community congeals
means and material and morality in valid quest,
revealing the final purposes of individuality to collective performance.

Community dilutes
the metal of anarchy
in an act of imperceptible organization;
the monolithic despot
in an act of imperceptible diplomacy.

Community is

a personal hologram of a world view;

home;
family;
part and particle:
persons incorpora,
states and species,

stimulated recesses of mutual impressions;
stimulated impressions of mutual recesses--

a mighty miracle of overall sincerity and populist consensus--

forging belief with logic,
logic with belief,
heaving with bias;
threatened or affirmed,
symbol or reality, 

a timezone syntax of reliance.

Community is

pent-up demand
offering substance
for the analysts of share;

Community is

competitive hostilities
pummeling
gentle fulfillment:

the luxury of strategy-- the strategy of luxury:

challenge eternal,

always disappearing, always tentatively developing,
always protectively underground,
always capital starved and cash-flow hungry,
always ad-hoc,
always unconscious,
yet always articulate.

Community is

a bountiful permaculture,
short term and long,

always a mass market,
intimately entered,

always confounding
both tinker and conglomerate.

Community is

a trust thrust
of value added souls,

a vulnerable asset
in a potential that never builds out,

where the down payment never ends,
resell never balances,
cost free living never materializes--

the typical best picture scenario.

Community is

undiscovered leverage,
material diversity,
production with in-house funding,
profit from amenity;

and for the living tissue:

It is a 24 hour F.O.B. of flexible cells--

duplex, co-ax and monofilament arrays
in a spectral analog of online pulse--

as time goes on.

As time goes on scraping the layers of selective ecologies--

intensive processing
in scale models of posterity's potential;

scratching vast mirrors.

Community is

humble,

a blurred accountability,
diminishing issues

in the common habit of perpetual action.

Community is

always brief.

Community never disappears.

Community commands near universal assent and consent, always clear and concise that it is the situation.

It is the master with the power of no other choice.

It is the organization mandating organization, therefore it is inescapable administration.

It is the attraction and therefore the allocation.

It is the concurrence about chaos and the chaos about concurrence.

It is fragmented, inconclusive and innocent, the fuel of principled, autonomous wisdom.

It is scarce, therefore it is the natural authority of gain.

It is political diffusion reluctantly potent,
inventing redistributive philosophy
in an incessant consciousness of relative deprivation--

our drive.

Community is

the appropriation and the pay off.

It is the reinforced coercive authority
that responds to the multitude's agonized whisper for mercy.

Community is

the acquiescence to suffrage;

ally to the club.

It is the tension in the bursting bubble--

increasing and degrading ideology

and act.

It is the threat of hierarchy's concentration
always trending to degrade toward variety.

It is the major motivator
focusing our awareness of diversity,
a new opportunity in emerging curiosity.

It assists formulation,
impedes formulation.

Community is

the information imperative.

It is inquiry,
comprehension and reaction--

the incredible uncertifiable appraiser of beliefs.

It enables the exposing of error and truth.

It is the machinery of social judgment,

for perception,  for postulate.

It is always the tentative beginning

to the commodity of contact,

distributing
the substantial,
the desired,
the possible,

an inventory of intelligence.

Community manufactures citizen and client--

an industry of synthesis.

It is the social frontier of creative power,

a point of view animator,
a point of view generator,
matrix,
if-then,
what-if,
overlay,
calculation,

panning and zooming
a virtual off-load of intrigue.

Community is

the resource development operation in the group development process of perception.

Community absorbs the mind,
converting idea to geography;

the visual information display of saying hello,

the territory of sensing ourselves.

Community sidesteps jargon,
confounding the literate.

Community diffuses discipline,
frustrating the aggressive,
annoying the credentialist.

It joins the means of benefit to the process of contact,
cajoling intensity,

always able to defer:

Cohorts are endlessly reticent.

Contemporaries suspiciously needful of competency.

Ideas stubbornly entrenched in bias.

There is never a surplus of astute debate.

It is always a labor,

a threat between the ideal and the real;

always demonstration,
consumption,
incessant destruction,
primitive exploitation;

a diverse,
doubtful,
unsupported anxiety
threatening the pursuit
of peaceful security
in a vast,
indifferent
terrifying bond,
disappearing and recycling,

infinite and small.

Community is

a cataclysm of orientation--

from molecule
to mud
to mouse
to mankind
to myth.

It focuses desperate hope
and caters our options.

It is mundane.

It upsets our upsets,

but destroys our alienation,
embracing disenchantment,

extending a salvation to mortality.

Community is

a hopeful vision in the impatient generalization of space.

It is a sense of freedom for the conscious and unconscious.

It is often perceived as a result, but seldom a means.

It screws behavior into dreams
and dreams into behavior--

the preliminary prescription
for the entrepreneurial spirit
spelling the future
in the conventional.

Neighbor slips to and away in fate, as if annoyingly magnetic--

attractive electron,
doubtful molecule--

burning as phosphorous in bright air.

The novice always entering the sophisticate.

Instructional catalysts.

The conduit can never be found.

The study commences at dozens,
revising conception,

kinked in the redevelopment of order,

the prime cost of suppression,

the target,
the growth.

Community is

the micro
that macro
makes real.

It is ideogram.

It devours the icon,
grown in the agriculture of hope,
floating divergent seeds
on the irrigant of dreams,

never without free will:

The victory of the simple.

Community is

always the average, 
any statistic;

the per capita of the per capita.

There is always a new community ethic,
never captured,
visible to millions.

Games of local drama:

where penetration
risks peacefulness,
coordinates consensus,
allocating domain,

catapulting individuals,

trackless orbits of compulsive compassion.

The individual,
invisible in the horizontal;
peers of bias,

the peregrine of equality--

the claws of change to any
who waste the individual.

Community is

moral accountability,
discovering the secret of response,

the cognitive adaptation to the contradiction of giving.

It is never the tiring formality of the automatic,
never losing its living attributes,

our most potent mandate.

It is a liquid reciprocity
of benefits and rights,
contaminating confiscation,
conserving control,

preserving the agency of action.

Community conceives today's version of liberty--

in the domain of the ox,
the oak
and the eagle--

worthiness,
de-phenomenalizing justice,

providing the warrior
a conflict with perfection
beyond the urge to destroy;
surrounding triage,

floods of the healer--

the quartermaster's retirement in paradise.

Community is the commons;

special interest confronts proximity to potency,

the indispensable character of cooperation--

balancing the large
and the small
in the miracle that can do that.

Community destroys the myth of class into liquid utilities of service.

More potent.
More explosive.

More likely.

Community is creative venture,

the spectrum of human conception;

surfacing subliminal history,
becoming environment,
the taxpayer layer;

each must come for viability,
absorbing excesses
while creating them,
differentiating weakness in the solitary whole,

offering undreamt rewards
to the victor
while subjugating the right
to deny the loser.

Community fears no fallacy of permanent power,

trusting its nightly requirement for peace.

Community can send adulation yet offer none;

promote dignity for fools, 
topple the flawless.

Community is

the cup wherein stirs the mystical
and
the stone that freezes the sword.

It is the organized dogma that imposes the free exchange.

It is wisely forever unwise;

symbols of threat and thank you,
procuring wit in good and evil,

the destiny each lives and dies in community.

Community is

the inescapable onus on the individual to invent,

to participate in the benefit of the whole.

Community is

the requirement upon the whole
to manage itself for the individual.

Each is in charge of the civilization;

always a journey
of innocence through fire;

always neutrality
torn by aggrandizement,

primitively ripped
by the myriad dynasties
misunderstanding
the miracle of sovereignty. 

Community is disposable yet it cannot be purchased.

It is the gem that never glows.

Community is the power that folds history's duration into the critical mass of the free.
