Who are the members of the Cognitive Fusion Reactor (ITER-8)?
Membership is typically a matter of convention — however formalized, if at all. The United Nations claims to act on behalf of “We the peoples…” however remote (or meaningless) this membership is to individuals of the world community who are thereby associated with that enterprise. A more challenging way of formulating the question is in terms of the nature and role of any member of such an initiative — especially in sustaining any sense of collective identity. In terms of the continuing erosion of collective memory, to what extent is membership defined by the capacity to “re-member” the initiative — perhaps in terms of “re-membering” its archetypal significance? Of particular interest is the complementarity of the cognitive roles — of the members of requisitely distinct orientation — necessary to cognitive fusion.
