Shifting realities: Tron cyberspace and the âNewâ consciousness in 21st Century technoscapes
The existing direction of the (mis)use of information technologies founded on the deceptively secular rationalised heritage of scientism, arguably spells the increasing proximity to a dystopian nightmare that is far from mere fiction and imbued with the eternal religious symbolic of the battle between good and evil, as depicted in the 2010 science fiction film Tron: Legacy . The historical contextualisation of events in the film reveals the promise of the unfolding of an advanced sensibility alongside these concerns, in which fantasy and science converge to liberate humanity from an increasingly limiting worldview, and information and images serve as conduits to the sacred. The critical role information stands to play in humanityâs conscious evolution is outlined in the proposed development of a âdream systems theoryâ, where dreams capes are defined as interconnected systems of imaginal data
Chaotic dynamical systems associated with tilings of
In this chapter, we consider a class of discrete dynamical systems defined on
the homogeneous space associated with a regular tiling of , whose most
familiar example is provided by the dimensional torus \T ^N. It is proved
that any dynamical system in this class is chaotic in the sense of Devaney, and
that it admits at least one positive Lyapunov exponent. Next, a
chaos-synchronization mechanism is introduced and used for masking information
in a communication setup
