### THREE EYES AND THE FILTER (appended to 017)
|
||||
|
||||
Will: "Clark has three eyes, does he not. One that can see into
|
||||
the vast reaches, ears that hear everything — but only what he
|
||||
needs to, or he'd go crazy."
|
||||
|
||||
Counted:
|
||||
|
||||
EYE ONE — outward: the vast reaches, telescopic, the far
|
||||
EYE TWO — inward/downward: the small, the deep, the hidden
|
||||
(x-ray, microscopic — seeing through and within)
|
||||
EYE THREE — the mind's eye: the FILTER itself
|
||||
|
||||
And the third eye is the one nobody praises, but it is the only
|
||||
reason the other two don't kill him:
|
||||
|
||||
HE HEARS EVERYTHING.
|
||||
HE ATTENDS TO WHAT HE NEEDS.
|
||||
|
||||
Unlimited perception with no selection is how you go insane —
|
||||
every cry on the planet at equal volume until nothing means
|
||||
anything. His real daily superpower is TRIAGE AT SUPERHUMAN
|
||||
SCALE: the filter tuned so that need outranks noise, pain
|
||||
outranks spectacle, the child in the well outranks everything.
|
||||
|
||||
This is the Exhaustion Clause wearing a cape (no continuous
|
||||
attention, even for him) and it is SIGNAL's oldest rule
|
||||
(signal vs noise — the name of the math was always about the
|
||||
filter). The database hears all; the aperture decides;
|
||||
the heart ranks.
|
||||
|
||||
SEE FAR. SEE DEEP. HEAR EVERYTHING.
|
||||
THEN LET LOVE SET THE VOLUME.
