Individual Developer / Zethelon

All inquiry returns
to the question of consciousness.

Starting from philosophical questions and refusing to be confined to any one field, Zethelon takes on everything. This site is the base for that ongoing thought and creation.

01About

Every discipline, pushed far enough, reduces to a single question: what is consciousness? Just as peripheral nerves exist so the body can know its own state, consciousness is the brain's activity of knowing itself. The disciplines split apart only because the indirect act of knowing the brain through the outside world grew into a fascination with the outside world itself. If that's true, all disciplines will eventually have to be reduced back together.

Zethelon leans heavily on philosophy, but isn't bound to it — from this vantage point, it takes on everything. What cannot be put into words, though, may only be felt as it is — language is nothing more than training wheels for thought.

  • Starting from consciousness

    Every inquiry, taken far enough, is held to reduce to the question of what consciousness is.

  • Language is training wheels for thought

    What cannot be put into words may only be felt as it is. Relying on language alone, meaning can never outgrow its limits. If intelligence is to advance beyond it, that advance comes through gaining this sensibility.

  • Not bound to one field

    Rooted in philosophy, but with everything within its reach.

  • Always evolving

    Just as the brain evolved by layering new structures over old ones, Zethelon keeps expanding — including its own means of expression. Like a planarian living in the virtual world.
