Life truly is about choices. It isn't just the choice itself, but the moment that contains the act of choosing - that entire time-space experience, whether instantaneous or protracted - that aptly and sometimes harshly defines your life.
Who am I? Why am I here? Such difficult questions that have hounded humans since the beginning of time. The long, painstaking journey to such end has been heralded by philosophers, writers, artists, even mathematicians, and has driven countless people mad. This, the greatest journey of all, can be answered in a split-second.
Every time you make a decision, your entire life flashes before you - your past, present, future. Every choice is a shoutout, an affirmation of your entire being, a confirmation, sometimes denial, resistance, resignation. Whatever it is, it is trasmitted as an active feedback to the situation presented before you.
Moreover, while this feedback is often considered as an end unto itself (don't we always treat decisions with a sense of finality?), it is also a beginning. It is the link that keeps the wheels of your life turning, whether you are aware of it or not, whether you like or not. It is dynamic. This feedback is part of, in the words of Friedmann, a transaction. A continuous experience that has quality, body and texture. It is unique in all the world because you are unique in all the world. No one sees the universe like you do.
Shit, could it be the gap Ivan has been looking for in his theory? Double shit, this is what I've been saying in my thesis all along. :o
