Validated Reality - Ascott

    <p class=default>
      
        Validated Reality, our daily experience, is familiar to us all. It is the orthodox 
        universe of causal "common sense", the way we are taught at school to view the world, a 
        consensual reality established early in our lives by the constant repetition of its 
        axioms. Validated Reality finds it hard to accept the world views of quantum physics, 
        eastern mysticism, or the many conflicting models of consciousness generated by 
        contemporary scientists, across a wide range of disciplines, in their attempts to bridge 
        the explanatory gap that prevents our understanding of this ultimate mysterium. Those 
        whose minds have been conditioned to accept Validated Reality as the only reality balk at 
        the implications of nano-technology, and have great difficulty in coming to terms with 
        genetic modelling and the scope of biotechnics in redefining Nature. In short, Validated 
        Reality is authorised reality, whose narrow confines delimit the sense of what we are or 
        what we could be. Nevertheless it controls the co-ordinates of our daily life, dictates 
        the protocols of our behaviour, and provides an illusion of coherence in a contingent 
        universe. It has been Validated Reality, which has created Nature as an array of objects 
        set in Euclidean space, rather than a dynamic network of processes and relationships.
