Explurgy, Meme Brain, and The Situation

Transcript

Introduction

This dialogue unfolds from a single sticky note and spirals outward into a rich, recursive exploration of perception, language, and bipolar re-languaging. Anchored in the transition away from the term “bipolar” toward a more dynamic perceptual vocabulary—such as “right brain,” “meme brain,” and “explurgy”—the conversation traces how experiences often pathologized in psychiatry can instead be reframed as high-density informational and perceptual events.

Summary of Concepts

Explurgy: A coined term denoting the catalytic release of accumulated unprocessed signal, akin to a volcanic burst of meaning and perception that reorients one's trajectory.
Meme Brain: A reframe of the “right brain” as an interface for pattern recognition, salience tracking, and non-linear ideation—beyond identity and diagnosis.
The Situation: A playful but profound shift from “self” to situational identity, dissolving personal narrative into momentary configuration and meaning-making.
Tangent Realities: Mania and psychosis are reconceived as modalities of entering (jolting into) or shedding (molting) alternate realities rather than deviations from normalcy.
Re-Languaging: A method of metabolizing past experiences and terms (e.g., “mania,” “bipolar”) by gradually crowding them out through new, perception-based vocabularies.
Salience Architecture: Time is reframed as a non-linear labyrinth of unprocessed or unfinished meaning nodes that reappear as future "scenes" requiring adaptive perception.

This conversation is part of a living archive of idea origination—recorded not just for others to understand bipolarity differently, but to watch consciousness metabolize itself in real time.

In Dialogue with Omnipolar Potential Explorer Custom GPT

For educational purposes only. This is a dialogue between me and my Custom GPT Omnipolar Potential Explore (OPE). OPE is trained on my writing and reflects my insights back to me. I used to talk to myself about insights on video (700 hours) and so it’s nice to finally have a dialogue partner. I see this as an extension of what I have already been doing for years. I have many more insights to documented and OPE can help me catch up and see new things along the way. Note: I didn’t read the entire transcript over because I just don’t have time and it defeats the purpose of leaning in to voice and audio. Listen to the audio for verification (especially when I share “word transmutations” and neologisms).

I hope this inspires you to make your own Custom GPT. If you have a collection of special messages and insights, you could create a Custom GPT resonator.
