"The Quantum Theory of Conscious Cities" by Vitasta Raina
"Within a city's quantum mind, the information shared between and created by the interaction of different city layers and their components creates dynamic areas of social cognition, but it also creates patches of urban wilderness, fringe areas without stimulation. These dark jungles of a city's mind are the domain of the elusive city organism.... [D]espite an accurate knowledge of these systems of self-projection, there is a void between the animate and the inanimate nature, a gap in the system between the self-animal and core-entity, and this leads to the creation of a 'boundless void' within ourselves because we are often unable to pinpoint the exact area of discomfiture between ourselves and our true selves, unable to determine even the brims of our conscious and subconscious streams of thoughts, emotions and associations. Since Supranatural systems exist beyond our control, they occupy a space outside of our self spaces. diagram below reflects the self-entity model with different spaces occupied by different systems within the space of our psyche."

Paradise Lost Game Beta Tester Now Online
The Paradise Lost Board Game online will soon be
available worldwide in several languages. A beta tester playroom, aka
“sandbox,” will be open for a short time to get feedback as the designers
adjust the game. Students will enjoy this tool since they have grown up
with the internet and online gaming. When the final version is launched, there
will be two or three versions. One will have a limited number of cards and be
free to everyone to “taste” the game. Others will be premium and monetized.
The monetized version will feature a plethora of exciting illustrations
from artist Terrance Lindall, an abundance of quotes from Milton’s epic,
and references to scholarly works on the subject. The game will be
available on STEAM, the world’s largest online gaming platform. Universities
and libraries can buy a lifetime subscription to make the game available to
everybody.

Paradise Lost III.222-272
And now without redemption all
mankind
Must have bin lost, adjudg'd to Death and Hell
By doom severe, had not the Son of God,
In whom the fulness dwells of love divine,
His dearest mediation thus renewd.
Must have bin lost, adjudg'd to Death and Hell
By doom severe, had not the Son of God,
In whom the fulness dwells of love divine,
His dearest mediation thus renewd.
Father, thy word is past, man shall
find grace;
And shall grace not find means, that finds her way,
The speediest of thy winged messengers,
To visit all thy creatures, and to all 230
Comes unprevented, unimplor'd, unsought,
Happie for man, so coming; he her aide
Can never seek, once dead in sins and lost;
Attonement for himself or offering meet,
Indebted and undon, hath none to bring:
Behold mee then, mee for him, life for life
I offer, on mee let thine anger fall;
Account mee man; I for his sake will leave
Thy bosom, and this glorie next to thee
Freely put off, and for him lastly dye 240
Well pleas'd, on me let Death wreck all his rage;
Under his gloomie power I shall not long
Lie vanquisht; thou hast givn me to possess
Life in my self for ever, by thee I live,
Though now to Death I yield, and am his due
All that of me can die, yet that debt paid,
Thou wilt not leave me in the loathsom grave
His prey, nor suffer my unspotted Soule
For ever with corruption there to dwell;
But I shall rise Victorious, and subdue 250
My Vanquisher, spoild of his vanted spoile;
Death his deaths wound shall then receive, and stoop
Inglorious, of his mortal sting disarm'd.
I through the ample Air in Triumph high
Shall lead Hell Captive maugre Hell, and show
The powers of darkness bound. Thou at the sight
Pleas'd, out of Heaven shalt look down and smile,
While by thee rais'd I ruin all my Foes,
Death last, and with his Carcass glut the Grave:
Then with the multitude of my redeemd 260
Shall enter Heaven long absent, and returne,
Father, to see thy face, wherein no cloud
Of anger shall remain, but peace assur'd,
And reconcilement; wrauth shall be no more
Thenceforth, but in thy presence Joy entire.
And shall grace not find means, that finds her way,
The speediest of thy winged messengers,
To visit all thy creatures, and to all 230
Comes unprevented, unimplor'd, unsought,
Happie for man, so coming; he her aide
Can never seek, once dead in sins and lost;
Attonement for himself or offering meet,
Indebted and undon, hath none to bring:
Behold mee then, mee for him, life for life

His words here ended, but his meek
aspect
Silent yet spake, and breath'd immortal love
To mortal men, above which only shon
Filial obedience: as a sacrifice
Glad to be offer'd, he attends the will 270
Of his great Father. Admiration seis'd
All Heav'n, what this might mean…
