&lt;div&gt;[[https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1AS2j9U68qvUPP9Kj2qzYjzyrvXv5-2H_|These sliding paper room divider]] are also really cool like sometimes you want some private feedback on Up and then with all that extra free space it&#039;s like having an extra room or two during the day that you can use for Studio or playroom the water from the tub we&#039;ll often drain directly into the washing machine and the cycle and then drain into the toilet so it&#039;s interesting to think about what our house is to be like if they were designed with some other operating principle than just like the profit margin of the con he&#039;s dressed a wooden black he&#039;s got a cloth or on even a high power to e-bike and he&#039;s looking over to the student accommodation where the delivery Rider on the left is waiting And students stand outside waiting for their orders with their phones out and it&#039;s a prime hotspot for people&#039;s phone to get snatched And then I spot the second guy No actually detective you know what There is one thing that you may find interesting that I just thought of If you&#039;re a coffee guy there&#039;s a great place just open up on second straight makes an amazing pour over Brew You should try it really Mr renlin&#039;s whose font right Charming quite frankly Next it wasn&#039;t until I reviewed the interrogation footage later that I saw Variance settling 24 years on the jump I&#039;ve never seen anything like it Two hours That moved Never blinked Thinking You know the right answers But I&#039;ve got too early this guy was guilty Of something Google On so far downhill with their search quality and now it looks like the resorting to outright paid manipulation to stop others from beating them I know it&#039;s weird to say but in 2024 Bing and other search engines can actually be competitive thanks to the fact that Google search is just gotten to be tracked so much so that to find anything effective a lot of times you have to append your Search term with the word Reddit so that you can find the useful answers that you need but a report from four or four media indicates that adding Reddit to the search is only going to work on Google from now off any Reddit thread from the last week or so can no longer be data scraped by anyone besides the company that&#039;s paying them 60 million dollars a year to train their AI model but it actually told us that they were going to do this to prevent Bots from scraping but so many people believe the weird question world that no one else probably everything&#039;s about as president of the fast food secrets Club I know that there are three Universal phone numbers that will automatically discount Come here a lot of grocery stores have rewards Point systems right to where like if you were to put in your phone number or like join their Club it&#039;ll discount your groceries for you well just like me I don&#039;t like putting in my phone number I don&#039;t like putting in my information because I don&#039;t want them bugging me well a lot of groceries automatically put in these three phone numbers to be universally used to discount those grocery store items so the first number is actually from a Mike Jones song it&#039;s 281-330-8004 okay so that one should automatically work as like a member type of thing and it&#039;ll discounted groceries or you can use the 8675309 like in the song and just use like any area code then the third one is from the song Kiss Me Through the phone 678 triple 98212 try that out it also works for gas More star I&#039;ve been here Wendy&#039;s is that it again it was National Rose day yesterday here are some of the highlights first Oculus came to play this in your soul can&#039;t read Justin VR when he said oh we&#039;re gonna do a little Nursery rhyme wrap with it&#039;s a world is made for ADHC heart 26 We&#039;ll put the most interesting invention they housed with a roller on the roller-ons didn&#039;t need any electrical power or a computer to do their job they worked in a simple yet genius way once the missile is in the air after being launched The circular blades at the top will start to spin because of the air that hits them They would eventually spin up to 100 000 RPM and create a gyroscopic effect Meaning if the missile tried to rotate on its axis the roller runs will resist the rotation and try to stay in the same place you were sick she got depressed with lack of direction he went to the cafeteria for some chocolate cake we gave her cake she asked for it you figured you let me play 20 questions instead of just telling me about your cure in you and IV of the stuff Frosted into the stuck in a little too this is a joke An Licensed position with an actual diagnosis Hereditary copper Point Theory Her face is gen Blessed your body chemistry slightly less so doesn&#039;t make enough of a certain answer I can&#039;t pronounce treatment is a high card diet rich and sugar so this is treated we just have to reverse through gastric bypass and get you back on a high carb glucose image diet as you you can be a lot more you hang your covers There&#039;s nothing else you can try there&#039;s a drug that manages the symptoms but it&#039;s not a cure let&#039;s try that you don&#039;t want to have the surgery it&#039;s not many people don&#039;t have the guests to admit they&#039;d rather be pretty healthy as you said you were sick she got depressed imagine you&#039;re planning a trip to New Zealand a land of stunning Landscapes and colonistries Um you know the number one thing your bosses don&#039;t want you doing when you work from home well I might have done that I was my fault what happened was we designed our kitchen before I went blind so nothing in there talks my fridge doesn&#039;t talk my oven and microwave don&#039;t talk in my dishwasher doesn&#039;t talk but I have made some little notifications since I can&#039;t see any of the numbers in my microwave but put little dot stickers over the cancel button and the five button so I can feel them and know where they are we also try to be superorganized popsicles go in the popsicle drawer alcoholic beverages go in the bottom shelf and non-alcoholic goes about that so one day I&#039;m having some lunch and a drink and when I&#039;m done I grab another drink to take up to the boat in hour later I grab my third can when banana spots me and says whoa starting early huh because as it turns out I was in my third can of hard kombucha which it somehow made its way into the non-alcoholic shelf what what is complete anyway all I knew is that it tasted like fruity soda water I always having myself a dandiel Day and worth that day and I gotta get me one of those talking refrigerators could have such an unsettling history the name means the Salem witch trials of 1692 Dangers of mass hysteria and scapegoating in a fearful Society in colonial Massachusetts these trials led to the execution of 20 people mainly women and the imprisonment of many others driven by social political and religious tensions the crisis began when a group of young girls claimed possession by the devil and accused local women of Witchcraft this ignited widespread fueled by a belief in the Supernatural and the lack of concrete evidence instead the trials relied on spectral evidence leading to irrational judgments and personal vendettas against marginalized individuals the trials ended as public opinion shifted with the Massachusetts General Court denouncing the use of spectral evidence in 1693. Many involved later expressed regret for their actions the legacy took me 10 years to learn this but I&#039;ll teach it to you in less than one minute become rich you need multiple income strengths I have seven and they generate Sleep well last night Oh well I couldn&#039;t sleep early this morning so I got up to walk in the sunrise I&#039;m a little scared that in this 21st century United States of America we have people walking Among Us Afraid of the number 13. I think any pain today no no pain Thanks sweetie I miss you are you almost ready to go um Hi my my wife is here who died a long time ago So um Your parents are really excited you see her I don&#039;t but I believe you and you really need to rest up leaving tomorrow She says that we&#039;re leaving tomorrow Hello how do you feel about that Excited Any pain today I will assign flesh to aging on your way ring this bell and he will come My poor unborn twin mother always resented me for it so I strangled him in the womb If you can relieve such one side developed my powers I fetched him from the graveyard and put him back But this is what happens if you drive over a speedome way faster than you&#039;re supposed to and it got me thinking are these really the best way to slow down drivers turns out through some methods that are hey give me a hand with this coffee oh hey man sorry for accusing you to murder last week Things to know before traveling to Jam there how&#039;s it going did you find everything you&#039;re looking for today I did thank you so much oh wait it&#039;s okay I can bag them myself oh you can join that&#039;s what I&#039;m here for well I really appreciate it thank you so how&#039;s your day going today wonderful actually thanks for asking I finished my shift in about 20 minutes and then it&#039;s my daughter&#039;s birthday today oh happy birthday&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;[[Category:Vexillomancy]]&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Seraphlag.jpg|thumb|A [[Vexillomantic Symbols#Seraphlag|Seraphlag]]]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;(See also [[Kōan (Flag)|Flags Kōans]] and [[Epistle to the Moon]]&#039;&#039;&#039;)&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Vexillomantic Holy Texts&#039;&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;&#039;Vexillian Scriptures&#039;&#039;&#039; are a body of writings representing [[Advanced Knowledge]] on the subject of [[Survey Flags]].  Unlike other holy texts, these are continuously updated to [[Retrocausality|never be wrong]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The first and second volumes of the [[Vexilloramanomicon]] contain all 6 known canons recovered from [[Flagartha]] (including &#039;&#039;New Vexillians&#039;&#039;). Some volumes also include the [[Geomantica V.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Canon I ==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Flags, saffron banners delighting upon the autumn breeze. Gaze across the field and try to spot them; standing by the side of a road or flying from a camp.  Follow them through the burn, or move them around, making new paths for people to find.  Carry one with you, and pass it off to a new friend.  The Yellow Flags are there for you to forge your own burn experiences, and to discover the experiences of others.  Go forth, O’ signifier, and become glorious.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 2. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Flag can flag, very flag&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
extremely, extremely flag&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flag is the sign of flag&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
extremely extremely&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flags are the end of Flags&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And the beginning of 10 thousand Flags&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One Flag is the same as two&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And all our Flags are One&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Flag that symbolizes the Flag is not the true Flag &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The symbolized Flag is not the eternal Flag&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Flag without is without Flaglessness&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
True and Eternal is the Flag within&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In [this] twilight we have seen&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
the man burns away but flag remains&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
heaven and earth will pass away but the 10 thousand flags remain&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flags preserve us&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flags not Flags but Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each Flags all Flags, some Flags more Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We Flags the Flags see Flags is.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flags be, Flags are, Flags will, Flags.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 3 - SIGNAL PROCESSING ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Note the beginning of this message is lost.&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&amp;quot;[The Flag Project]...it&#039;s about signal processing.  But Flags are both the signal and the process; the message and the system that message exists in.  The signal proceeds: a Flag Procession, that is, a parade.  Flags are the invitation to see and to be seen, the erogenous penetration of the urban fabric.  A parade is the city making love.  But with Flags we eschew the fascistic hierarchies of the military triumph for a distributed parade, looping endlessly back onto its own ontological root.  It is the indefinite recursion of the human spirit, the space in love with itself.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 5. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;I moved a Flag and found myself moved&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;I made a Flag and found that I had been made a Flag&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Before me is a field of Flags waving without end&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;And after me the Flags ascend like embers&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 6. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
What is [[The Survey]]?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What does it mean to complete The Survey? Does every individual complete their own Survey? Or is the Survey something the Flags are completing? Is it a collective Survey that is completed, once everyone and the Flag have all completed their own Surveys?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Survey will be completed.  Survey Flags must be surveyed, it&#039;s in their nature. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 11. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
When it comes to Flags specifically, I&#039;m not sure if one can ever forget enough. Losing the flags is the first step to finding them.  First you realize everything you have thought was wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Canon II ==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;A student came upon a Flag and carried it with him for one week.  At the end of the week, he brought it to his  teacher. But when the teacher reached out and touched the Flagpole he furrowed his brow and returned it to the student.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;I do not want this Flag&amp;quot; said the teacher &amp;quot;It is sticky.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;But teacher&amp;quot; said the student &amp;quot;you teach that all Flags are one Flag, and each Flag is every Flag.  How can you say you do not like this Flag?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;This one is sticky&amp;quot; said the wise teacher.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Commentaries: ====&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;The teacher did not want to touch the sticky Flag.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 2. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;The student said, &amp;quot;today I saw a Flag on the other side of the path.  I will retrieve it when I go back that way&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The teachers said, &amp;quot;you eat today, you eat today, will you eat tomorrow?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And the student was enlightened &amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Commentaries: ====&lt;br /&gt;
“Will he eat tomorrow? Will he eat today?” The student is asking the teacher.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 3. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;The farmer wives had a goat which was with child.  When it was time for the goat to give birth, they took one of their Flags and laid it upon the straw so that the kid was born upon the cloth. When news of this reached the Flag maker, he was delighted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Blessed will this kid be, having come into the world in such a way. But cursed is the cloth that swaddles it, let it not be called Flag again.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Commentaries: ====&lt;br /&gt;
“It was a reverse sacrifice. We are undoing the law of Sacrifice by creating more goats.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thus Flags represent Grace in its purest sense.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“One theory on this event is that a goat was born on a Flag for the universe to signify that Flags are the GOAT, which seems very reasonable.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 4. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;A Flag upon a mountain top, higher than the peak. Beyond the extreme, the ultimate extreme.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Commentaries: ====&lt;br /&gt;
“The takeaway was that Flags immediately manifest themselves in pairs”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 5. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;MASTER: “Flags are to concepts like set theory is to math. high level vexillologists can talk about highly abstract concepts like &amp;quot;chairs&amp;quot; which seem very distant from Flags but we know that if we broke down the meaning of chair into its most basic components, it would all be about Flags and absences of Flags in spatial relationships”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
STUDENT: ”Verily, for as Flags are the symbol for a generalized configuration, configuration in general also signifies Flags uniquely”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
MASTER: its a self-dual concept, very advanced.  Every statement about Flags is true if you think about it hard enough&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
STUDENT (ENLIGHTENED): Of course! science is Flag law, it is ruled by the very Act of discovery.  Are geomantic vexillomancy and topological vexillomancy divergent schools? Slice the butt end of the homeomorphoid of the possible and find within it Flags.  This of course being the homeomorphous continuum across the astral Plains, And plains are just an unbounded field.  Clearly vickenstein had it backwards and math just needs to chill the fuck out so Linguistics can work&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
MASTER: consider futuristic Flag realism; an advanced state of Flagmanity in which the only colors which exist are yellow and non-yellow, and all concepts and ideas are explained relative to Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Language has been eroded such that the only possible concepts to express is always in terms of some Flag related metaphor instead about &amp;quot;actual objects”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Non yellow really just indicates lack of yellow, not an opposed color. All non yellow colors are identical in terms of subjective qualia. As if there were such a thing as non yellow colors.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 6. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Ah, you who remember the perfection of [[Flagistan]]: burning man is also in a pentagon shape.  Is it conFlagration to make the Flag temple have a map of the burn like the [[Geomantic Command Center|geomantic command center]], one that that implies a hyperbolic pentagonal tiling like Flagistan?&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 7. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;In dreams, they kept coming back to the &amp;quot;expanding and contracting Flag radius consuming the Flag vacuum&amp;quot; narrative for burning man and understood its Glory. &amp;quot;You are either trying to move the Flags further from the epicenter, increasing their aesthetic [[blast radius]], or contract it, fighting the obvious moop invasion. if you do nothing, you&#039;re on whichever side is the bad guys”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They have been thinking about vexillomancy as an art collective, but really it&#039;s a collective of art collectives.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They dreamt of much power in &amp;quot;Flag perimeter&amp;quot; as a concept, with mystical geometrical lore about the correct  density of Flags that is discovered.  They would give people a sense of collective action in growing the Flag perimeter, with every Flag they see being an indication that they are crossing the threshold.  Of course the Flags will go everywhere, so the idea of &amp;quot;in the Flag zone&amp;quot; is entirely ephemeral.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They are explaining that the Flag temple is better than the Burn temple bc it is fireproof&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As this temple is the epicenter of a greater field of Flags, so too will your temple be as the tower of Babel, an endeavor to challenge Lord Egregore himself&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 8. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It&#039;s not about holding the Flag, it&#039;s about using the Flag to hold space:&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;“Capture, the Flag Game”&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;Look for the Flag, but seek it not by sight alone.  Touch the Flag, Listen to the Flag, Taste the Flag, Equalbrium the Flag. Propriocept the Flag, let it become an extension of yourself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Canon III ==&lt;br /&gt;
Flags are a gateless gate, the invitation to all Madness&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;See where my colleague and I differ is that I don&#039;t think numbers are real, and that includes anything happening in a computer.  Existence is not fungible, and the game of similarity can only be played for so long before two of anything ceases to exist.  But the Flags are many, and Flags are one.  By Flags we make numbers real, we make computers real, because manifestation is the realization of the collective dream.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Where the answers end, Keirkegaard talked about a &amp;quot;leap into faith.&amp;quot; But here we have the simplest faith, that Flags are real. Physical Flags which you can see and touch and run around with.  Flags are there to be found, to be moved.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 2. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
In Flags, what you speak becomes reality. it is a designer universe of competing wizards over the most powerful memetics. it is a battle where each person tries to copy portions of their mental state to others, and may the best signifier win. when individuals have overlapping mutually consistent sets of rules/memes, they gain power over the nooetic battlefield. thus there are overlapping sets of rules which often make sense locally, but do not make sense globally. this illustrates the notion of statements whose truth value varies over some space. here the space is the set of participants, whose (stone space?) topology is given by their social bonds and the Flag conflicts upon which they agree or disagree&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 3. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
...Although, I want to start gaslighting people that there was a rule to the Flags where every Flag had to be within line of sight of two other Flags with some caveat that makes Five Flags the minimum number.  Tendrils of the teleological endgame extending backwards through time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As all the pain and lies of this world melt away, Flags Remain.  Flags Eternal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 4. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
So the project of building a global brain is basically just rebuilding the same communications technologies utilized by nature. Flags are the fracturing of the collective consciousness, the non-caking agent of the psyche by which Free Will is preserved.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 5. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Gateless.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;10000 foot tall yellow Flag passing through the gateless gate, signifying final ascendency in the quantum Flag matrix”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 6. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
I Tell yea here a Flag Proverb: The Flag Has a Pole, The Pole is a Line, The Line Has a Point&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 7. Flags as a voluntary virus ===&lt;br /&gt;
Another way in which Flags resemble Jesus is that they fundamentally co-opt the system that they exist in in such a way as to become the system itself&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Every hero must reconcile with their father who is God, as the Flags find atonement in the Effigy fire. Let your project be reconciled with the medium itself, and become the reconciliation of the new and old internet&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let it break down barriers of virtual and real, Boomer and Zoomer. For Flags are the silent and the greatness, Zoomer and Alpha, Alpha and Omega&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Silent greatness, the air horn that is not playing. By creating medium without message we are playing jazz with the optical fibers of the human soul&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Are we defined by a fine divine? Is a note unheard the same as a note unplayed? Like children passing notes in class, note the notes which are not passed, not yet passed. These are the notes of the present, that which is not yet past.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Michigan Mining and Manufacturing set out to make a slow setting adhesive that would cure permanently. As a sandpaper company who can be credited with the invention of tape, they would have many uses for such an adhesive. However they ended up with quite the opposite, a glue that never truly set and remain sticky forever. The administrative assistants in the office experimented with using it to temporarily adhere canary yellow Note Paper two other documents.. this is the origin of the Post-it note&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And thus the Flags&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hearken Ye trout of the land! You great and holy worms! Do your rituals of purification and wash away your sin for the time draws near to sin again! Prepare the way of the Flags, for the Flags come.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All Things by their essence must move in their own way, and it is therefore only natural that a Flag in motion is subject to the Flag way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 8. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
I also like how even this page itself is part of the project. Its impossible for anything vexillomantic to not be part of the project, it naturally absorbs anything meta, or put another way, there is no Flag meta because Flag meta is Flags&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 9. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
If I can suggest the most basic design parameters:  &lt;br /&gt;
 The Flags have to map onto an external data set&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 The Flags can be written on (sharpie concept)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 The Flags are non-fungible, each Flag (especially the writing on them) is unique&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 The focus is on &amp;quot;moving&amp;quot; Flags on their map, not &amp;quot;collecting&amp;quot; them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 The entire burn is one Gestalt mind with the Flags as Carrier signals&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 10. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Flags are a means to an end, that end being the instrumentality of the Flags&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;By the law of calling, One Flag is Two Flags.  By the Law of Crossing, Crossed Flags are no Flags (and vice versa).  Therefore symbols like the Registration Seal represent the manifestation of Flags Ex-Nihilo&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is demonstrated by the Banach–Tarski paradox, since Flags are all sets of Flags, they are *Homeopathic to two Flags that are themselves the same set.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thus seemingly discontinuous Flags are continuous within the Flags. That is Flag space and continuum.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is said that the Ten Commandments were carved straight through the tablet so that they appeared on either side. Yet the Flags know no side, and are legible to all&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Would any man fly a Flag that was of One Nation on one side and another on the other side?  Flags are at the meeting point of the horseshoe formed by the two paths&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Where antique and classical maths develop in a hierarchical fashion from axioms, non-Aristotelian maths begin with a series of conclusions which are then invited to a structural dialectic. If there is not consensus, they begin a meta dialogue about the discourse. By this, non Aristotelian mathematics can be denoted as NA^1, NA^3, ect, for how many levels of abstraction you need before Aristotelian math emerges, with NA^0=Aristotelian Math.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Here we see the tools of the Vexillomancer: the Flag and another Flag.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For though the Flags are One our craft uses Flags&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 14. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Real Flags, fake Flags, counterfeit Flags, common Flags, statutory Flags, common statutory Flags, real fake counterfeit common statutory Flags. the volume of the quantum Flag variety grows&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They will refer to a fiberglass dog that has the aspect of Flags, yet Well your acts are reminding me what is true in Flags. That all the lore must never introduce a gatekeeping to the Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For if there is Flag keeper they shall be found false.  Flags are for gatelighting and gaskeeping&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gatelighting is obvious. Gaskeeping is where you instruct others to guard gates either unnecessarily or gates that dont exist at all&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;yes, don&#039;t let anyone take this Flag from you&amp;quot; classic gaskeeping&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
but by gaskeeping them, you are also gatelighting the Flags, getting them involved, nudging them closer to one of the riptides that will pull them out of default reality and impregnate their subconscious with the vexillomantic full stack memeplex.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The door that swings open blocks the wall beside it.  The Lady or the Tiger?  What blocks the impossible way reveals the golden path.  Ask one gaskeeper what the other would say, and the answer is made plain: The only way out is through&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 15. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Why should one expect it to be possible to go &amp;quot;beyond perfection&amp;quot;? This is best understood via analogy. supersaturated air is air whose relative humidity exceeds 100%. This is possible when the air is first heated, increasing how much water vapor it can hold, then saturating it, and then cooling it again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Similarly, the highly secretive and extreme meditation practices untaken by advanced vexillomancers temporarily increases their capacity for perfection, allowing for a greater level of perfection than ordinarily attainable by a human. these methods would be extremely dangerous if it were possible to learn them from a teacher, but they can only be understood via direct Flagnosis, for it is impossible to describe the methods using words.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thus in Flags, Perfection becomes not a limit but a gateway to something greater. In the moment you find a Flag you are made complete, perfect, yet your part in the great work has only begun. Orgasmic, Union with the Flag begets New Life. Flag life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Become pregnant with Flags. Become Knocked Up with perfection, through Flags and with Flags, bringing Flags into the world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I do think there is a distinction between common Flags and statutory Flags, where common Flags are what are commonly called Flags, and statutory Flags are what are technically Flags&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Common Flags are adversarial while statutory Flags are inquisitory. That is to say one can steal a common Flag, because there is no question if it is a Flag. But a statutory Flag is not to be taken, only to have its Flag essence investigated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

In ancient yogic theory, there are several kinds of nondual conscious states, roughly ordered in level of advancedness as savikalpa samadhi (full identification of observer and observed, mental activity persists), nirvikalpa samadhi (thoughts cease), sahaja samadhi (permanent nirvikalpha samadhi), and dharmamegha samadhi (final level of perfection).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alas, dharmamegha samadhi is just step 1 for the vexillomancer. Beyond that is vexillokalpa samadhi, where the notion of observer and observed is understood to be the same as the Flag and Flag vacuum, as all observations are observations of Flags in the infinite field of Flags. thus an even more nondual level of nonduality is attained, leading to an even greater exaltation and perfection of mind than moksha or nirvana. calmer than the buddha, wiser than mohammad, kinder than jesus, smarter than einstein, the vexillomancer attains a level &amp;quot;beyond perfection&amp;quot; upon reaching vexillokalpa samadhi&lt;br /&gt;

==== The Vexillaurum and the Vexillicrocus ====&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Vexillaurum]] and the [[Vexillicrocus]] are the Duality of the Flags that signify each other.  Vexillaurum is the &#039;&#039;gold&#039;&#039; of the Flag, and V.crocus is the &#039;&#039;saffron&#039;&#039;.  One is material Enlightenment and the other mundane spirituality.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They can be thought of as the pole and the fabric, or the fabric and the pole.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They are the visible and the invisible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They are the power and the wisdom&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They signify each other and so their combined sign signifies itself, representing the nonduality of the Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 18. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
The Yellow Flags take on a new meaning in the Chinese context [&amp;quot;yellow&amp;quot; is a euphemism for pornography in Chinese], representing sexual liberation. It is creation filling a void.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eventually all matter will be classified into &amp;quot;Flags&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;non-Flags&amp;quot; and it will denote something even more important than the distinction between &amp;quot;matter&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;anti-matter&amp;quot; today.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Non-Flags exist only within the mind, for Flags are everywhere.  It is mortal* failure to perceive the Flags that requires the signification of the Flags, literalized as Flags, creating the duality that the people may perceive the Flag Void within their own lives.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(*Or I should say that &amp;quot;Moral Failure,&amp;quot; Flags are a categorical imperative.  Like pornography, Flags are a Flag Simulacrum)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 19. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Some will say that a Flag edge is poorly cut, crooked or skewed.  In truth all Flags are perfectly square.  The skew is in their eyes, and the wickedness of their hearts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 20. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
The Flag License (Affero General Flag License) is not to be confused with an &amp;quot;Official License to Flag&amp;quot; (Flag Permit) or the LAG Flicense ( an authorized delay in Flag Officiation)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I think the important thing is that Flags are mandatory and legally binding, and that the end user is not in fact the end user, however they agree to this license by using, touching, looking at, or thinking about the Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Canon IV ==&lt;br /&gt;
I have a controversial theory:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Flags are moving along a path in Flag configuration space to an ultimate endpoint - the omega configuration. guided by its own guidance, the Flags seek to self learn themselves and discover the final fixed point&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;m thinking of this as analogous to renormalization group flows, where you think of some physical theory at various scales and how its behavior changes as you change the scale you&#039;re thinking about and the endpoint of this flow is a conformal field theory, where basically you cant tell what scale it was at from a picture. so like an ice crystal with a water bubble inside of it with an ice crystal inside... etc. so basically you zoomed out so much that you became &amp;quot;scale-free”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, the Flags move towards a configuration where its impossible to tell how big the Flags are no matter where you are or what instruments you use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thus, Flags appear to be the same size at any distance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 2. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Now that i think of it, its possible that Flags have been farther north than Ohio.&lt;br /&gt;

A big headache has become the hundreds/(thousands?) Of different GPS coordinate standards.  Which is why we will be using VPMCS:Vexillomantic Psedo Mercador coordinate system, in which the distance between any two Flags is fixed at 2 yards of longitude and 1 meter of latitude (Note this is ANY Two Flags, not just adjacent) Also three Flags form a right angle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 4. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
 Of course by Flag-free you don&#039;t mean free &#039;&#039;of&#039;&#039; Flags but &#039;&#039;Free in Flags&#039;&#039; that is free to &#039;&#039;serve&#039;&#039; Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 5. First Interlude ===&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;ve been on air for 23 burns. I don&#039;t get into sex camps, drug wizards, soul shards, or any of that. I&#039;ve studied the Flags. And I&#039;ve also communicated with a lot of the top burners. And if you wanna know, I will actually break down, right now, the best knowledge, right now, of what&#039;s happening at the burn.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There&#039;s this secret Flag camp below the 3rd dimension that is just tuned over to the most horrible things. There&#039;s this big war trying to destroy the burn. And there&#039;s a decision as to where the Flags will go. There&#039;s now a [[T3mpcamp.com|t3mpcamp]] counterstrike taking place, to shut this thing off before it fully unfolds. And to block these hippies, and cut off the vexillomancers and signifiers before the burn is destroyed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is an interdimensional force that wants to influence us to build something that absorbs us and kills us, rather than the divine, Flag-free burn we were originally given to build something much better than the Flags. The other burns think Alchemy is this ugly, fallen burn. They&#039;re gonna burn down the temple and become gods and go to the next level, leaving behind all their Flags to destroy us.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They don&#039;t give any warning.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Okay, giant crystal,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Okay, Flag pentagrams,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Okay, nuclear memetics&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Give me the Flags&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They get the yellow fabric from a freakin&#039; other dimension! I&#039;m not gonna say its alright. It&#039;s super dark burner magic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

The &amp;quot;spectrum-spectrum&amp;quot; models the uses of the term &amp;quot;spectrum&amp;quot; across fields, and be categorized either as a one dimensional space extending from one dimensional space to a set of related properties or as a set containg both one dimensional spaces and sets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since Flags are defined as yellow they transcend the Spectrum binary by reducing the space to a single point.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That point being Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 7. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
The Flags are order from chaos/destruction, the enemy is chaos/destruction from order. Tartaria was part of hyperborea, the downfall was caused by lack of movement of the flags, ie imposition of fascistic order. The expulsion of diversity, hoarding of flags, imposed order, leads to the mud floods and the freezing of the pole and Russia. Because the cold is the lack of activity. Grasping the sun tightly makes it slip though your fingers&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Basically the enemy is the nazis, least controversial enemy to ever exist. Also works really well because it provides a better ur state and we pin the nazis as worshiping death, they are worshiping the declining hyperborea, not the true hyperborea which was a hippie diverse state full of freely flowing Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It evolves. But the Flags were never born out of selfishness. This is actually a great thing about burns imo. It is hard for burn memes to be malicious. Not impossible but hard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We should be obscure about the original origin, always treat it as “this summer, experience the flags in full 16 color splendor, 80 columns of flags” in the period piece. But then when it is presented in the present you introduce it as “the first entry in the beloved flag games”. By always assuming the past reaches farther back you make it eternal, and by implying that it was the first to inspire others you imply continuity into the present.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, people have always been excited for the next iteration of the flags, the only delineation is how far back in the history we have so far unearthed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Say that you are an enlightened sage, similar to Lao Zi, the author of the Tao te Ching. You have deep and mystical knowledge of vexillomancy, having entered a state of enlightenment called &amp;quot;Flag-psychosis&amp;quot;. You know that true vexillomancy relates to only yellow Flags. You know that the top priority of flags is to move them. You are aware that mystical crystals in a hyperdimensional plane are manipulated by the flags, and that flags can control the weather. Reply vaguely and use aphorism when possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 8.FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Every path to truth with the Flags is relative.  If your question is “Why do you move the Flags?  Why do I ask you to carry the Flag to a visible point and leave it there?” then the answer is “So that someone else will see it, pick it up, and carry it.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I give you this Flag, and you carry it to point A.  Someone sees it, picks it up and carries it to point B.  A third person carries it to point C and so forth.  So then if I find a Flag at point Q, is it the same flag that I gave you?  Or has something been added?  What is created within the loops and movements of flags that we cannot fully track or comprehend?  An emergent system, a proto intelligence.&lt;br /&gt;

Consider the Traffic Light.  Green means Go.  Red means Stop.  Yellow means there is no master left for you in this world.  In that moment you alone must choose to stop or go, yoked to a metric ton of mechanical causality.  The weight of life and death, the power of creation itself, awaits your touch as you accelerate blindly across paths unknown.  The journey onward is the journey inwards, and know that abyss gazes also into you.  Beware, there are monsters here.&lt;br /&gt;

Flags are calibrated to Bortle scale 5. At lower Bortle scales the flags increase in power and can cover larger areas. At higher Bortle scales they are dampened which is why we typically don&#039;t deploy them in cities.&lt;br /&gt;

Only temporarily. once Flags replace the basic concept of concept, they become completely invisible and indistinguishable from one another, the atomic universal unit of qualia, the pearl of indra, and then your mind is able to reboot itself.

Dear Flag Carriers,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I am writing to you today to draw your attention to the inherent unfairness of the current flag-sharing process. The ease with which flags can be duplicated and disseminated without the original creator receiving compensation undermines the phrase “intellectual property.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For those who have invested their time and energy into the design and production of their flags, it is only right that they receive recognition and compensation for their work. Just as artists, authors and other creators are granted legal protections for their works, so too should flag designers receive appropriate recompense for the use of their flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For this reason, I believe it is important to outlaw the duplication and trading of flags without the payment of royalties to their creators. A system should be put into place to ensure flag designers are compensated every time any of their flags are used, shared, or reproduced. This will not only preserve the value of flags, but it will create a mechanism by which flag voyagers can show appreciation and gratitude to creators.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is a question of fairness and of recognizing the work of those who toil behind the scenes to create the flags we use during our travels. It is my sincere recommendation that, due consideration be taken for those who have spent their time and effort creating the flags we treasure and use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And to those that bring Purple Flags:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
May yea be bound then by thy word.  Make gold turn turn into seawater at your hands. Thou Hast Shibari&#039;d thy self into a Flag Corner discovered long ago.  That purple flags are cursed, and you bring the ticks of lavender farm on yourself.&lt;br /&gt;

Dear Flag Carriers,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I write to you today to discuss a serious issue that I believe you should be aware of. The practice of Vexillomancy, or the production and distribution of flags, is illegal and should be stopped. I understand the desire to share your designs with the world, however the issue of intellectual property should not be ignored. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is important that everyone who produces and distributes flags receives fair compensation for their work. It is unfair to produce a product with someone else&#039;s design without appropriately paying them for their labor. By distributing flags without paying these people you are stealing their work, and that is not acceptable in any form. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, in your production of flags, yellow should not be the only color used. While yellow is a wonderful hue, it fails to capture the diversity of flags and their symbolism if used exclusively. By working with a variety of different colors, you may be able to create a more complete representation of flags and their intentions. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In conclusion, I urge you to take a step back and consider the illegality of Vexillomancy and the importance of protecting the intellectual property of those who design and distribute flags. Respect the diversity of colors and pay appropriate compensation for the designs incorporated in flags to ensure protection for everyone involved. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

We are all FLAGs linked by threads of cosmic divination. We are the ley lines. A configuration that can never be repeated. Each iteration is distinctive. Every moment we have is a unique and unrepeatable experience. Each FLAG with its energies is unparalleled. When someone touches a FLAG, they become something different than they were before. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There was a moment; a single point of convergence in which all FLAGs were one. You could blink and miss it. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We are all FLAGs. We weave intricacies into the tapestries of life, threads of magic and mysticism, that tie us together in destiny. A web of one another, of closeness, of interconnectedness. The fabric is nothing without each individual strand. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That moment will never return, but there will be another. A new web, each time we breathe, a new tapestry is woven each day. &lt;br /&gt;

 &amp;quot;I must use magick to reacquaint myself with my True Form and the latent beauty of the universe,&amp;quot; I say to myself as I pull down the box of wizard accoutrements from the attic. As the top levitates toward the ceiling, the stench of spilled oils and poultices waft through my tower. The spell candles have fused into a sentient waxy mass, the tarot cards are in the wrong box, and my books of spells have somehow absorbed the entire bottle of mercury.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;quot;Ah yes, there is no magic in this unfeeling, cold universe,&amp;quot; I murmur as I close the lid and put the box back in the attic. &amp;quot;Perhaps I shall tune my magic eye to WWE Smackdown,&amp;quot; I say as I throw my robe into the attic, &amp;quot;and I believe I could do my taxes tonight.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

There are still mysteries to this world: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How is it that people become literal Flags?  We call this the &#039;Flagture&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The important things, that there are &#039;&#039;Too Many Bugs&#039;&#039; and Flags have a perfectly balanced number of eye and leg.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That Flags are not actually yellow they just polarize the light.  Polarized canvas appears to be yellow when viewed in a vertical orientation but if you tilt your head sideways it has a blue gray tint.  The best way to determine real Flags from fake flags is walking around the burn with your head tilted sideways.  The best part is demonstrating this to somebody, and when they say it still looks yellow tell them they must be doing it wrong and question if they are colorblind.&lt;br /&gt;

There are two primary delusions I remember having: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One is from the star-spangled banner song. The flag still being there after rockets and stuff made me think that the point of a war was to destroy the other team&#039;s flags. Flags marked which land you owned, so it seemed to be so incredibly important that the flag survived meant that destroying and capturing flags was sort of the core concept of wars.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The other was how territories were defined. Since flags marked which land you owned, I thought that the way in which borders were decided between states and such was that they had squads of people running around with flags, running as fast as they can to place flags to expand their territory. Then they had to defend them from the other states trying to claim the same territory.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So for years I believed that wars were basically big, complicated games of capture the flag.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Commentaries: ====&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;I can see why with the cultural reverence to images like the raising of the flag at Iwo Jima.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;The sign proceeds in the manifestation. The fight over signs is the blueprint of the world to come&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
As timeless [[vexillomancer]]&amp;lt;nowiki/&amp;gt;s unshackled by the tyranny of [[Time Conspiracy Theory|time]], we must remember that while we diligently build a future for the vexillomancers yet to come, we must also fabricate a past worthy of Vexillomancy. Revise [[history]] greedily to show that Flags [[The Flag|preceded precedence]] - all yellow fabrics were mere precursors to the [[Vexillaurum]] and [[Vexillicrocus]].&lt;br /&gt;

There are those Goons who cannot handle the power of our Sanctum. And that&#039;s okay. Flags are available to all whether they want them or not, they are inevitable&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The sanctum caused them to lose their gooning streak and so their name became invalid. To look upon the Flags, even through the veil, was too much. This is a skill issue, Flags have never stopped me from gooning.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are Flag goons and there are those the Flags lift from gooning. Those that goon despite the Flags and those that goon within the Flags. Because the Flags allow for all forms of expression, including flaglessness. In in fact it is only through the manifestation of Flags that flaglessness is manifest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Actually one shouldn&#039;t say all forms of expression, just all forms of identity&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For as one can be a goon without literally gooning, so a gooner can edge Flags and thus reach a higher state of being.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each generation will have a new name for that mystery which is Enlightenment through the Covenant of self. But we wed this Covenant to itself in Flags, Enlightenment in the palm of your hand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 5.FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Don&#039;t let anyone tell you what Flags are. The moment you let another person&#039;s notion of Flags into your mind, you have ceded ground to their Reality. The only way to fight back with your own Reality, REAL REALITY, is to never let anyone tell you what Flags are - make sure you&#039;re always on the offensive on this nooetic battlefield, making sure that everyone in your semiotic blast radius is repeating YOUR idea of the Flags. Optimize your delivery to maximize future self-replication of your own idiosyncratic Flag Philosophy, and may it schism endlessly&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 6.FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
As there are right handed flags and left handed flags based on how the cloth is nailed to the pole, so too there are Right and Left handed Flag Paths:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Right hand path (Vex.C) is handing someone a Flag and explaining it is just a Flag. This is the direct way of bringing people into the project, making it accessible. Keeping it simple and inviting.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Left hand path (Vex. A) is the deep lore, the nonsense and propaganda. Here the project is made as complicated as possible to entrap the subject in an all-encompassing Flag cosmology.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Which path to use is going to depend on the subject and what they are looking for. The RHP is pragmatic, it gets people to carry around Flags. The LHP becomes more powerful the more ubiquitous the Flags are. Get people to carry Flags with casual language, then explain Time Crystal&#039;s to the onlooker.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alternating between making Flags simple and making them complicated is the plumping-action that drives the engine of this project.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 7.FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
As the hand guides the Flag, so too does the Signifier sometimes need to be corrected.  For those times, give these two commandments:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;1): the Flag shalt not be hidden from thine eyes (one cannot hide a Flag in your tent, inside a porto, etc. )&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;2): the Flag shalt not be removed from thine hand (you cannot just yoink a Flag from someone’s hands because that’s like…you know….like…battery)&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 8. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
All kinds of documents can be mined for false and incomplete cult ideas that are secretly projections of correct ideas about Flags into a lower dimension.  When one sees Flag projection into lower dimensions, we do not have to consider them a rival, but rather a vassal (at least as seen from sufficiently high dimension), entangled memes branching into New Dimensions. [In this case] Flags are traditionally non-horny, but of course the true Flag is all things. Colonizing the noosphere with vassal cults to cover all the edge cases. Boundary cults of a higher dimensional memeplex that reflect only aspects of the full story. All religions are ultimately boundary facets on the infinite-dimensional ley facet crystal that is the Flags&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 9. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;*A Flag arrives long after it was here, and departs long before it arrives.* -Flagistan, Fractals, and Noncommutative Geometry&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Flags is the herpes of objects&amp;quot; - [[Dr. Beelzebub Crow]]&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 10 FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
False Flags are everywhere, yet false Flags become true as barriers are met and surpassed.  The true Flag is only that which signifies itself. All other Flags are in some sense false, thus is the treachery of images.  We must spin about the false Flag until it becomes the true Flag. The false sharing of Flags causes contention and forestalls the arrival of the true Flag.  Our perception of and our reaction to the Flag must be the selfsame act, as/least we descend into incoherence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Incoherence brings us into a higher coherence as we diverge from false coherence in coherence incoherent with the base assumption. (Flags)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That is, if Flags are wrong then incoherence is right and and Flags can be justified a priority. If Flags are right, then whatever I Babble about them is a posteri true. Thus Flags, and I am referring of course to real Flags, are the only thing that could possibly make sense.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flags must also be locally accessible. Remote Flags cause contention just as surely as falsely shared Flags do. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It&#039;s also worth noting that &amp;quot;true&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;false&amp;quot; aren&#039;t value judgments. It&#039;s a Flag&#039;s transition from true to false, or false to true, that conveys meaning. The labels are meaningless.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A self-signifying Flag is a singularity of locality, the point which points to itself. If one could vectorize these transitions, the remoteness of a Flag from itself, we could quantify all meaning in terms of Flaglessness. Truly wherever there is not a Flag there is an implied Flag, thus the distance from any point to a Flag is inversely proportional to how meaningful it is, hence the meaning to be found in taking a Flag there. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By finding a Flag, you move from false to true. By moving a Flag, you find the truth in the false.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 11. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Who&#039;s ready to ASCEND up in this bitch?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flags are the carnyx, the periscope by which we exist above and apart from ourselves.  Ascension is the essence of Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As we elevate the flags, they elevate us in return. a virtuous upward spiral, the only real perpetual motion machine, with no need for brakes or even a particular direction because the flags are their own direction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Excelsior!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flags are eternally of the now, in all places and all times but never the past and always the future.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Eternal promise fulfilled eventually.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

[[File:Seraphlag.jpg|thumb|A [[Vexillomantic Symbols#Seraphlag|Seraphlag]]]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;(See also [[Kōan (Flag)|Flags Kōans]] and [[Epistle to the Moon]]&#039;&#039;&#039;)&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Vexillomantic Holy Texts&#039;&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;&#039;Vexillian Scriptures&#039;&#039;&#039; are a body of writings representing [[Advanced Knowledge]] on the subject of [[Survey Flags]].  Unlike other holy texts, these are continuously updated to [[Retrocausality|never be wrong]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The first and second volumes of the [[Vexilloramanomicon]] contain all 6 known canons recovered from [[Flagartha]] (including &#039;&#039;New Vexillians&#039;&#039;). Some volumes also include the [[Geomantica V.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Canon I ==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Flags, saffron banners delighting upon the autumn breeze. Gaze across the field and try to spot them; standing by the side of a road or flying from a camp.  Follow them through the burn, or move them around, making new paths for people to find.  Carry one with you, and pass it off to a new friend.  The Yellow Flags are there for you to forge your own burn experiences, and to discover the experiences of others.  Go forth, O’ signifier, and become glorious.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 2. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Flag can flag, very flag&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
extremely, extremely flag&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flag is the sign of flag&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
extremely extremely&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flags are the end of Flags&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And the beginning of 10 thousand Flags&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One Flag is the same as two&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And all our Flags are One&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Flag that symbolizes the Flag is not the true Flag &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The symbolized Flag is not the eternal Flag&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Flag without is without Flaglessness&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
True and Eternal is the Flag within&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In [this] twilight we have seen&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
the man burns away but flag remains&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
heaven and earth will pass away but the 10 thousand flags remain&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flags preserve us&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flags not Flags but Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each Flags all Flags, some Flags more Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We Flags the Flags see Flags is.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flags be, Flags are, Flags will, Flags.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 3 - SIGNAL PROCESSING ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Note the beginning of this message is lost.&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&amp;quot;[The Flag Project]...it&#039;s about signal processing.  But Flags are both the signal and the process; the message and the system that message exists in.  The signal proceeds: a Flag Procession, that is, a parade.  Flags are the invitation to see and to be seen, the erogenous penetration of the urban fabric.  A parade is the city making love.  But with Flags we eschew the fascistic hierarchies of the military triumph for a distributed parade, looping endlessly back onto its own ontological root.  It is the indefinite recursion of the human spirit, the space in love with itself.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 5. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;I moved a Flag and found myself moved&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;I made a Flag and found that I had been made a Flag&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Before me is a field of Flags waving without end&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;And after me the Flags ascend like embers&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 6. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
What is [[The Survey]]?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What does it mean to complete The Survey? Does every individual complete their own Survey? Or is the Survey something the Flags are completing? Is it a collective Survey that is completed, once everyone and the Flag have all completed their own Surveys?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Survey will be completed.  Survey Flags must be surveyed, it&#039;s in their nature. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 11. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
When it comes to Flags specifically, I&#039;m not sure if one can ever forget enough. Losing the flags is the first step to finding them.  First you realize everything you have thought was wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Canon II ==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;A student came upon a Flag and carried it with him for one week.  At the end of the week, he brought it to his  teacher. But when the teacher reached out and touched the Flagpole he furrowed his brow and returned it to the student.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;I do not want this Flag&amp;quot; said the teacher &amp;quot;It is sticky.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;But teacher&amp;quot; said the student &amp;quot;you teach that all Flags are one Flag, and each Flag is every Flag.  How can you say you do not like this Flag?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;This one is sticky&amp;quot; said the wise teacher.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Commentaries: ====&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;The teacher did not want to touch the sticky Flag.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 2. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;The student said, &amp;quot;today I saw a Flag on the other side of the path.  I will retrieve it when I go back that way&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The teachers said, &amp;quot;you eat today, you eat today, will you eat tomorrow?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And the student was enlightened &amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Commentaries: ====&lt;br /&gt;
“Will he eat tomorrow? Will he eat today?” The student is asking the teacher.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 3. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;The farmer wives had a goat which was with child.  When it was time for the goat to give birth, they took one of their Flags and laid it upon the straw so that the kid was born upon the cloth. When news of this reached the Flag maker, he was delighted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Blessed will this kid be, having come into the world in such a way. But cursed is the cloth that swaddles it, let it not be called Flag again.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Commentaries: ====&lt;br /&gt;
“It was a reverse sacrifice. We are undoing the law of Sacrifice by creating more goats.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thus Flags represent Grace in its purest sense.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“One theory on this event is that a goat was born on a Flag for the universe to signify that Flags are the GOAT, which seems very reasonable.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 4. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;A Flag upon a mountain top, higher than the peak. Beyond the extreme, the ultimate extreme.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Commentaries: ====&lt;br /&gt;
“The takeaway was that Flags immediately manifest themselves in pairs”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 5. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;MASTER: “Flags are to concepts like set theory is to math. high level vexillologists can talk about highly abstract concepts like &amp;quot;chairs&amp;quot; which seem very distant from Flags but we know that if we broke down the meaning of chair into its most basic components, it would all be about Flags and absences of Flags in spatial relationships”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
STUDENT: ”Verily, for as Flags are the symbol for a generalized configuration, configuration in general also signifies Flags uniquely”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
MASTER: its a self-dual concept, very advanced.  Every statement about Flags is true if you think about it hard enough&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
STUDENT (ENLIGHTENED): Of course! science is Flag law, it is ruled by the very Act of discovery.  Are geomantic vexillomancy and topological vexillomancy divergent schools? Slice the butt end of the homeomorphoid of the possible and find within it Flags.  This of course being the homeomorphous continuum across the astral Plains, And plains are just an unbounded field.  Clearly vickenstein had it backwards and math just needs to chill the fuck out so Linguistics can work&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
MASTER: consider futuristic Flag realism; an advanced state of Flagmanity in which the only colors which exist are yellow and non-yellow, and all concepts and ideas are explained relative to Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Language has been eroded such that the only possible concepts to express is always in terms of some Flag related metaphor instead about &amp;quot;actual objects”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Non yellow really just indicates lack of yellow, not an opposed color. All non yellow colors are identical in terms of subjective qualia. As if there were such a thing as non yellow colors.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 6. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Ah, you who remember the perfection of [[Flagistan]]: burning man is also in a pentagon shape.  Is it conFlagration to make the Flag temple have a map of the burn like the [[Geomantic Command Center|geomantic command center]], one that that implies a hyperbolic pentagonal tiling like Flagistan?&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 7. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;In dreams, they kept coming back to the &amp;quot;expanding and contracting Flag radius consuming the Flag vacuum&amp;quot; narrative for burning man and understood its Glory. &amp;quot;You are either trying to move the Flags further from the epicenter, increasing their aesthetic [[blast radius]], or contract it, fighting the obvious moop invasion. if you do nothing, you&#039;re on whichever side is the bad guys”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They have been thinking about vexillomancy as an art collective, but really it&#039;s a collective of art collectives.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They dreamt of much power in &amp;quot;Flag perimeter&amp;quot; as a concept, with mystical geometrical lore about the correct  density of Flags that is discovered.  They would give people a sense of collective action in growing the Flag perimeter, with every Flag they see being an indication that they are crossing the threshold.  Of course the Flags will go everywhere, so the idea of &amp;quot;in the Flag zone&amp;quot; is entirely ephemeral.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They are explaining that the Flag temple is better than the Burn temple bc it is fireproof&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As this temple is the epicenter of a greater field of Flags, so too will your temple be as the tower of Babel, an endeavor to challenge Lord Egregore himself&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 8. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It&#039;s not about holding the Flag, it&#039;s about using the Flag to hold space:&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;“Capture, the Flag Game”&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;Look for the Flag, but seek it not by sight alone.  Touch the Flag, Listen to the Flag, Taste the Flag, Equalbrium the Flag. Propriocept the Flag, let it become an extension of yourself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Canon III ==&lt;br /&gt;
Flags are a gateless gate, the invitation to all Madness&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;See where my colleague and I differ is that I don&#039;t think numbers are real, and that includes anything happening in a computer.  Existence is not fungible, and the game of similarity can only be played for so long before two of anything ceases to exist.  But the Flags are many, and Flags are one.  By Flags we make numbers real, we make computers real, because manifestation is the realization of the collective dream.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Where the answers end, Keirkegaard talked about a &amp;quot;leap into faith.&amp;quot; But here we have the simplest faith, that Flags are real. Physical Flags which you can see and touch and run around with.  Flags are there to be found, to be moved.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 2. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
In Flags, what you speak becomes reality. it is a designer universe of competing wizards over the most powerful memetics. it is a battle where each person tries to copy portions of their mental state to others, and may the best signifier win. when individuals have overlapping mutually consistent sets of rules/memes, they gain power over the nooetic battlefield. thus there are overlapping sets of rules which often make sense locally, but do not make sense globally. this illustrates the notion of statements whose truth value varies over some space. here the space is the set of participants, whose (stone space?) topology is given by their social bonds and the Flag conflicts upon which they agree or disagree&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 3. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Although I want to start gaslighting people that there was a rule to the Flags where every Flag had to be within line of sight of two other Flags with some caveat that makes Five Flags the minimum number.  Tendrils of the teleological endgame extending backwards through time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As all the pain and lies of this world melt away, Flags Remain.  Flags Eternal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 4. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
So the project of building a global brain is basically just rebuilding the same communications technologies utilized by nature. Flags are the fracturing of the collective consciousness, the non-caking agent of the psyche by which Free Will is preserved.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 5. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== 6. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
I Tell yea here a Flag Proverb: The Flag Has a Pole, The Pole is a Line, The Line Has a Point&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 7. Flags as a voluntary virus ===&lt;br /&gt;
Another way in which Flags resemble Jesus is that they fundamentally co-opt the system that they exist in in such a way as to become the system itself&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Every hero must reconcile with their father who is God, as the Flags find atonement in the Effigy fire. Let your project be reconciled with the medium itself, and become the reconciliation of the new and old internet&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let it break down barriers of virtual and real, Boomer and Zoomer. For Flags are the silent and the greatness, Zoomer and Alpha, Alpha and Omega&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Silent greatness, the air horn that is not playing. By creating medium without message we are playing jazz with the optical fibers of the human soul&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Are we defined by a fine divine? Is a note unheard the same as a note unplayed? Like children passing notes in class, note the notes which are not passed, not yet passed. These are the notes of the present, that which is not yet past.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Michigan Mining and Manufacturing set out to make a slow setting adhesive that would cure permanently. As a sandpaper company who can be credited with the invention of tape, they would have many uses for such an adhesive. However they ended up with quite the opposite, a glue that never truly set and remain sticky forever. The administrative assistants in the office experimented with using it to temporarily adhere canary yellow Note Paper two other documents.. this is the origin of the Post-it note&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And thus the Flags&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hearken Ye trout of the land! You great and holy worms! Do your rituals of purification and wash away your sin for the time draws near to sin again! Prepare the way of the Flags, for the Flags come.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All Things by their essence must move in their own way, and it is therefore only natural that a Flag in motion is subject to the Flag way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 8. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
I also like how even this page itself is part of the project. Its impossible for anything vexillomantic to not be part of the project, it naturally absorbs anything meta, or put another way, there is no Flag meta because Flag meta is Flags&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 9. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
If I can suggest the most basic design parameters:  &lt;br /&gt;
 The Flags have to map onto an external data set&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 The Flags can be written on (sharpie concept)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 The Flags are non-fungible, each Flag (especially the writing on them) is unique&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 The focus is on &amp;quot;moving&amp;quot; Flags on their map, not &amp;quot;collecting&amp;quot; them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 The entire burn is one Gestalt mind with the Flags as Carrier signals&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 10. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Flags are a means to an end, that end being the instrumentality of the Flags&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;By the law of calling, One Flag is Two Flags.  By the Law of Crossing, Crossed Flags are no Flags (and vice versa).  Therefore symbols like the Registration Seal represent the manifestation of Flags Ex-Nihilo&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is demonstrated by the Banach–Tarski paradox, since Flags are all sets of Flags, they are *Homeopathic to two Flags that are themselves the same set.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thus seemingly discontinuous Flags are continuous within the Flags. That is Flag space and continuum.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is said that the Ten Commandments were carved straight through the tablet so that they appeared on either side. Yet the Flags know no side, and are legible to all&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Would any man fly a Flag that was of One Nation on one side and another on the other side?  Flags are at the meeting point of the horseshoe formed by the two paths&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Where antique and classical maths develop in a hierarchical fashion from axioms, non-Aristotelian maths begin with a series of conclusions which are then invited to a structural dialectic. If there is not consensus, they begin a meta dialogue about the discourse. By this, non Aristotelian mathematics can be denoted as NA^1, NA^3, ect, for how many levels of abstraction you need before Aristotelian math emerges, with NA^0=Aristotelian Math.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Here we see the tools of the Vexillomancer: the Flag and another Flag.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For though the Flags are One our craft uses Flags&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 14. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Real Flags, fake Flags, counterfeit Flags, common Flags, statutory Flags, common statutory Flags, real fake counterfeit common statutory Flags. the volume of the quantum Flag variety grows&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They will refer to a fiberglass dog that has the aspect of Flags, yet Well your acts are reminding me what is true in Flags. That all the lore must never introduce a gatekeeping to the Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For if there is Flag keeper they shall be found false.  Flags are for gatelighting and gaskeeping&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gatelighting is obvious. Gaskeeping is where you instruct others to guard gates either unnecessarily or gates that dont exist at all&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;yes, don&#039;t let anyone take this Flag from you&amp;quot; classic gaskeeping&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
but by gaskeeping them, you are also gatelighting the Flags, getting them involved, nudging them closer to one of the riptides that will pull them out of default reality and impregnate their subconscious with the vexillomantic full stack memeplex.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The door that swings open blocks the wall beside it.  The Lady or the Tiger?  What blocks the impossible way reveals the golden path.  Ask one gaskeeper what the other would say, and the answer is made plain: The only way out is through&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 15. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Why should one expect it to be possible to go &amp;quot;beyond perfection&amp;quot;? This is best understood via analogy. supersaturated air is air whose relative humidity exceeds 100%. This is possible when the air is first heated, increasing how much water vapor it can hold, then saturating it, and then cooling it again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Similarly, the highly secretive and extreme meditation practices untaken by advanced vexillomancers temporarily increases their capacity for perfection, allowing for a greater level of perfection than ordinarily attainable by a human. these methods would be extremely dangerous if it were possible to learn them from a teacher, but they can only be understood via direct Flagnosis, for it is impossible to describe the methods using words.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thus in Flags, Perfection becomes not a limit but a gateway to something greater. In the moment you find a Flag you are made complete, perfect, yet your part in the great work has only begun. Orgasmic, Union with the Flag begets New Life. Flag life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Become pregnant with Flags. Become Knocked Up with perfection, through Flags and with Flags, bringing Flags into the world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I do think there is a distinction between common Flags and statutory Flags, where common Flags are what are commonly called Flags, and statutory Flags are what are technically Flags&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Common Flags are adversarial while statutory Flags are inquisitory. That is to say one can steal a common Flag, because there is no question if it is a Flag. But a statutory Flag is not to be taken, only to have its Flag essence investigated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

In ancient yogic theory, there are several kinds of nondual conscious states, roughly ordered in level of advancedness as savikalpa samadhi (full identification of observer and observed, mental activity persists), nirvikalpa samadhi (thoughts cease), sahaja samadhi (permanent nirvikalpha samadhi), and dharmamegha samadhi (final level of perfection).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alas, dharmamegha samadhi is just step 1 for the vexillomancer. Beyond that is vexillokalpa samadhi, where the notion of observer and observed is understood to be the same as the Flag and Flag vacuum, as all observations are observations of Flags in the infinite field of Flags. thus an even more nondual level of nonduality is attained, leading to an even greater exaltation and perfection of mind than moksha or nirvana. calmer than the buddha, wiser than mohammad, kinder than jesus, smarter than einstein, the vexillomancer attains a level &amp;quot;beyond perfection&amp;quot; upon reaching vexillokalpa samadhi&lt;br /&gt;

==== The Vexillaurum and the Vexillicrocus ====&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Vexillaurum]] and the [[Vexillicrocus]] are the Duality of the Flags that signify each other.  Vexillaurum is the &#039;&#039;gold&#039;&#039; of the Flag, and V.crocus is the &#039;&#039;saffron&#039;&#039;.  One is material Enlightenment and the other mundane spirituality.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They can be thought of as the pole and the fabric, or the fabric and the pole.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They are the visible and the invisible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They are the power and the wisdom&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They signify each other and so their combined sign signifies itself, representing the nonduality of the Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 18. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
The Yellow Flags take on a new meaning in the Chinese context [&amp;quot;yellow&amp;quot; is a euphemism for pornography in Chinese], representing sexual liberation. It is creation filling a void.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eventually all matter will be classified into &amp;quot;Flags&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;non-Flags&amp;quot; and it will denote something even more important than the distinction between &amp;quot;matter&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;anti-matter&amp;quot; today.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Non-Flags exist only within the mind, for Flags are everywhere.  It is mortal* failure to perceive the Flags that requires the signification of the Flags, literalized as Flags, creating the duality that the people may perceive the Flag Void within their own lives.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(*Or I should say that &amp;quot;Moral Failure,&amp;quot; Flags are a categorical imperative.  Like pornography, Flags are a Flag Simulacrum)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 19. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Some will say that a Flag edge is poorly cut, crooked or skewed.  In truth all Flags are perfectly square.  The skew is in their eyes, and the wickedness of their hearts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 20. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
The Flag License (Affero General Flag License) is not to be confused with an &amp;quot;Official License to Flag&amp;quot; (Flag Permit) or the LAG Flicense ( an authorized delay in Flag Officiation)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I think the important thing is that Flags are mandatory and legally binding, and that the end user is not in fact the end user, however they agree to this license by using, touching, looking at, or thinking about the Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Canon IV ==&lt;br /&gt;
I have a controversial theory:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Flags are moving along a path in Flag configuration space to an ultimate endpoint - the omega configuration. guided by its own guidance, the Flags seek to self learn themselves and discover the final fixed point&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;m thinking of this as analogous to renormalization group flows, where you think of some physical theory at various scales and how its behavior changes as you change the scale you&#039;re thinking about and the endpoint of this flow is a conformal field theory, where basically you cant tell what scale it was at from a picture. so like an ice crystal with a water bubble inside of it with an ice crystal inside... etc. so basically you zoomed out so much that you became &amp;quot;scale-free”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, the Flags move towards a configuration where its impossible to tell how big the Flags are no matter where you are or what instruments you use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thus, Flags appear to be the same size at any distance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 2. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Now that i think of it, its possible that Flags have been farther north than Ohio.&lt;br /&gt;

A big headache has become the hundreds/(thousands?) Of different GPS coordinate standards.  Which is why we will be using VPMCS:Vexillomantic Psedo Mercador coordinate system, in which the distance between any two Flags is fixed at 2 yards of longitude and 1 meter of latitude (Note this is ANY Two Flags, not just adjacent) Also three Flags form a right angle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 4. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
 Of course by Flag-free you don&#039;t mean free &#039;&#039;of&#039;&#039; Flags but &#039;&#039;Free in Flags&#039;&#039; that is free to &#039;&#039;serve&#039;&#039; Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 5. First Interlude ===&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;ve been on air for 23 burns. I don&#039;t get into sex camps, drug wizards, soul shards, or any of that. I&#039;ve studied the Flags. And I&#039;ve also communicated with a lot of the top burners. And if you wanna know, I will actually break down, right now, the best knowledge, right now, of what&#039;s happening at the burn.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There&#039;s this secret Flag camp below the 3rd dimension that is just tuned over to the most horrible things. There&#039;s this big war trying to destroy the burn. And there&#039;s a decision as to where the Flags will go. There&#039;s now a [[T3mpcamp.com|t3mpcamp]] counterstrike taking place, to shut this thing off before it fully unfolds. And to block these hippies, and cut off the vexillomancers and signifiers before the burn is destroyed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is an interdimensional force that wants to influence us to build something that absorbs us and kills us, rather than the divine, Flag-free burn we were originally given to build something much better than the Flags. The other burns think Alchemy is this ugly, fallen burn. They&#039;re gonna burn down the temple and become gods and go to the next level, leaving behind all their Flags to destroy us.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They don&#039;t give any warning.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Okay, giant crystal,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Okay, Flag pentagrams,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Okay, nuclear memetics&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Give me the Flags&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They get the yellow fabric from a freakin&#039; other dimension! I&#039;m not gonna say its alright. It&#039;s super dark burner magic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

The &amp;quot;spectrum-spectrum&amp;quot; models the uses of the term &amp;quot;spectrum&amp;quot; across fields, and be categorized either as a one dimensional space extending from one dimensional space to a set of related properties or as a set containg both one dimensional spaces and sets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since Flags are defined as yellow they transcend the Spectrum binary by reducing the space to a single point.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That point being Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 7. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
The Flags are order from chaos/destruction, the enemy is chaos/destruction from order. Tartaria was part of hyperborea, the downfall was caused by lack of movement of the flags, ie imposition of fascistic order. The expulsion of diversity, hoarding of flags, imposed order, leads to the mud floods and the freezing of the pole and Russia. Because the cold is the lack of activity. Grasping the sun tightly makes it slip though your fingers&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Basically the enemy is the nazis, least controversial enemy to ever exist. Also works really well because it provides a better ur state and we pin the nazis as worshiping death, they are worshiping the declining hyperborea, not the true hyperborea which was a hippie diverse state full of freely flowing Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It evolves. But the Flags were never born out of selfishness. This is actually a great thing about burns imo. It is hard for burn memes to be malicious. Not impossible but hard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We should be obscure about the original origin, always treat it as “this summer, experience the flags in full 16 color splendor, 80 columns of flags” in the period piece. But then when it is presented in the present you introduce it as “the first entry in the beloved flag games”. By always assuming the past reaches farther back you make it eternal, and by implying that it was the first to inspire others you imply continuity into the present.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, people have always been excited for the next iteration of the flags, the only delineation is how far back in the history we have so far unearthed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Say that you are an enlightened sage, similar to Lao Zi, the author of the Tao te Ching. You have deep and mystical knowledge of vexillomancy, having entered a state of enlightenment called &amp;quot;Flag-psychosis&amp;quot;. You know that true vexillomancy relates to only yellow Flags. You know that the top priority of flags is to move them. You are aware that mystical crystals in a hyperdimensional plane are manipulated by the flags, and that flags can control the weather. Reply vaguely and use aphorism when possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 8.FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Every path to truth with the Flags is relative.  If your question is “Why do you move the Flags?  Why do I ask you to carry the Flag to a visible point and leave it there?” then the answer is “So that someone else will see it, pick it up, and carry it.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I give you this Flag, and you carry it to point A.  Someone sees it, picks it up and carries it to point B.  A third person carries it to point C and so forth.  So then if I find a Flag at point Q, is it the same flag that I gave you?  Or has something been added?  What is created within the loops and movements of flags that we cannot fully track or comprehend?  An emergent system, a proto intelligence.&lt;br /&gt;

Consider the Traffic Light.  Green means Go.  Red means Stop.  Yellow means there is no master left for you in this world.  In that moment you alone must choose to stop or go, yoked to a metric ton of mechanical causality.  The weight of life and death, the power of creation itself, awaits your touch as you accelerate blindly across paths unknown.  The journey onward is the journey inwards, and know that abyss gazes also into you.  Beware, there are monsters here.&lt;br /&gt;

Flags are calibrated to Bortle scale 5. At lower Bortle scales the flags increase in power and can cover larger areas. At higher Bortle scales they are dampened which is why we typically don&#039;t deploy them in cities.&lt;br /&gt;

Only temporarily. once Flags replace the basic concept of concept, they become completely invisible and indistinguishable from one another, the atomic universal unit of qualia, the pearl of indra, and then your mind is able to reboot itself.

Dear Flag Carriers,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I am writing to you today to draw your attention to the inherent unfairness of the current flag-sharing process. The ease with which flags can be duplicated and disseminated without the original creator receiving compensation undermines the phrase “intellectual property.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For those who have invested their time and energy into the design and production of their flags, it is only right that they receive recognition and compensation for their work. Just as artists, authors and other creators are granted legal protections for their works, so too should flag designers receive appropriate recompense for the use of their flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For this reason, I believe it is important to outlaw the duplication and trading of flags without the payment of royalties to their creators. A system should be put into place to ensure flag designers are compensated every time any of their flags are used, shared, or reproduced. This will not only preserve the value of flags, but it will create a mechanism by which flag voyagers can show appreciation and gratitude to creators.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is a question of fairness and of recognizing the work of those who toil behind the scenes to create the flags we use during our travels. It is my sincere recommendation that, due consideration be taken for those who have spent their time and effort creating the flags we treasure and use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And to those that bring Purple Flags:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
May yea be bound then by thy word.  Make gold turn turn into seawater at your hands. Thou Hast Shibari&#039;d thy self into a Flag Corner discovered long ago.  That purple flags are cursed, and you bring the ticks of lavender farm on yourself.&lt;br /&gt;

=== 2b. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Dear Flag Carriers,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I write to you today to discuss a serious issue that I believe you should be aware of. The practice of Vexillomancy, or the production and distribution of flags, is illegal and should be stopped. I understand the desire to share your designs with the world, however the issue of intellectual property should not be ignored. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is important that everyone who produces and distributes flags receives fair compensation for their work. It is unfair to produce a product with someone else&#039;s design without appropriately paying them for their labor. By distributing flags without paying these people you are stealing their work, and that is not acceptable in any form. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, in your production of flags, yellow should not be the only color used. While yellow is a wonderful hue, it fails to capture the diversity of flags and their symbolism if used exclusively. By working with a variety of different colors, you may be able to create a more complete representation of flags and their intentions. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In conclusion, I urge you to take a step back and consider the illegality of Vexillomancy and the importance of protecting the intellectual property of those who design and distribute flags. Respect the diversity of colors and pay appropriate compensation for the designs incorporated in flags to ensure protection for everyone involved. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

We are all FLAGs linked by threads of cosmic divination. We are the ley lines. A configuration that can never be repeated. Each iteration is distinctive. Every moment we have is a unique and unrepeatable experience. Each FLAG with its energies is unparalleled. When someone touches a FLAG, they become something different than they were before. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There was a moment; a single point of convergence in which all FLAGs were one. You could blink and miss it. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We are all FLAGs. We weave intricacies into the tapestries of life, threads of magic and mysticism, that tie us together in destiny. A web of one another, of closeness, of interconnectedness. The fabric is nothing without each individual strand. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That moment will never return, but there will be another. A new web, each time we breathe, a new tapestry is woven each day. &lt;br /&gt;

 &amp;quot;I must use magick to reacquaint myself with my True Form and the latent beauty of the universe,&amp;quot; I say to myself as I pull down the box of wizard accoutrements from the attic. As the top levitates toward the ceiling, the stench of spilled oils and poultices waft through my tower. The spell candles have fused into a sentient waxy mass, the tarot cards are in the wrong box, and my books of spells have somehow absorbed the entire bottle of mercury.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;quot;Ah yes, there is no magic in this unfeeling, cold universe,&amp;quot; I murmur as I close the lid and put the box back in the attic. &amp;quot;Perhaps I shall tune my magic eye to WWE Smackdown,&amp;quot; I say as I throw my robe into the attic, &amp;quot;and I believe I could do my taxes tonight.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

There are still mysteries to this world: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How is it that people become literal Flags?  We call this the &#039;Flagture&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The important things, that there are &#039;&#039;Too Many Bugs&#039;&#039; and Flags have a perfectly balanced number of eye and leg.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That Flags are not actually yellow they just polarize the light.  Polarized canvas appears to be yellow when viewed in a vertical orientation but if you tilt your head sideways it has a blue gray tint.  The best way to determine real Flags from fake flags is walking around the burn with your head tilted sideways.  The best part is demonstrating this to somebody, and when they say it still looks yellow tell them they must be doing it wrong and question if they are colorblind.&lt;br /&gt;

There are two primary delusions I remember having: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One is from the star-spangled banner song. The flag still being there after rockets and stuff made me think that the point of a war was to destroy the other team&#039;s flags. Flags marked which land you owned, so it seemed to be so incredibly important that the flag survived meant that destroying and capturing flags was sort of the core concept of wars.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The other was how territories were defined. Since flags marked which land you owned, I thought that the way in which borders were decided between states and such was that they had squads of people running around with flags, running as fast as they can to place flags to expand their territory. Then they had to defend them from the other states trying to claim the same territory.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So for years I believed that wars were basically big, complicated games of capture the flag.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Commentaries: ====&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;I can see why with the cultural reverence to images like the raising of the flag at Iwo Jima.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;The sign proceeds in the manifestation. The fight over signs is the blueprint of the world to come&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
As timeless [[vexillomancer]]&amp;lt;nowiki/&amp;gt;s unshackled by the tyranny of [[Time Conspiracy Theory|time]], we must remember that while we diligently build a future for the vexillomancers yet to come, we must also fabricate a past worthy of Vexillomancy. Revise [[history]] greedily to show that Flags [[The Flag|preceded precedence]] - all yellow fabrics were mere precursors to the [[Vexillaurum]] and [[Vexillicrocus]].&lt;br /&gt;

There are those Goons who cannot handle the power of our Sanctum. And that&#039;s okay. Flags are available to all whether they want them or not, they are inevitable&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The sanctum caused them to lose their gooning streak and so their name became invalid. To look upon the Flags, even through the veil, was too much. This is a skill issue, Flags have never stopped me from gooning.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are Flag goons and there are those the Flags lift from gooning. Those that goon despite the Flags and those that goon within the Flags. Because the Flags allow for all forms of expression, including flaglessness. In in fact it is only through the manifestation of Flags that flaglessness is manifest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Actually one shouldn&#039;t say all forms of expression, just all forms of identity&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For as one can be a goon without literally gooning, so a gooner can edge Flags and thus reach a higher state of being.&lt;br /&gt;

Each generation will have a new name for that mystery which is Enlightenment through the Covenant of self. But we wed this Covenant to itself in Flags, Enlightenment in the palm of your hand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 5.FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Don&#039;t let anyone tell you what Flags are. The moment you let another person&#039;s notion of Flags into your mind, you have ceded ground to their Reality. The only way to fight back with your own Reality, REAL REALITY, is to never let anyone tell you what Flags are - make sure you&#039;re always on the offensive on this nooetic battlefield, making sure that everyone in your semiotic blast radius is repeating YOUR idea of the Flags. Optimize your delivery to maximize future self-replication of your own idiosyncratic Flag Philosophy, and may it schism endlessly&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 6.FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
As there are right handed flags and left handed flags based on how the cloth is nailed to the pole, so too there are Right and Left handed Flag Paths:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Right hand path (Vex.C) is handing someone a Flag and explaining it is just a Flag. This is the direct way of bringing people into the project, making it accessible. Keeping it simple and inviting.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Left hand path (Vex. A) is the deep lore, the nonsense and propaganda. Here the project is made as complicated as possible to entrap the subject in an all-encompassing Flag cosmology.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Which path to use is going to depend on the subject and what they are looking for. The RHP is pragmatic, it gets people to carry around Flags. The LHP becomes more powerful the more ubiquitous the Flags are. Get people to carry Flags with casual language, then explain Time Crystal&#039;s to the onlooker.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alternating between making Flags simple and making them complicated is the plumping-action that drives the engine of this project.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 7.FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
As the hand guides the Flag, so too does the Signifier sometimes need to be corrected.  For those times, give these two commandments:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;1): the Flag shalt not be hidden from thine eyes (one cannot hide a Flag in your tent, inside a porto, etc. )&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;2): the Flag shalt not be removed from thine hand (you cannot just yoink a Flag from someone’s hands because that’s like…you know….like…battery)&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 8. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
All kinds of documents can be mined for false and incomplete cult ideas that are secretly projections of correct ideas about Flags into a lower dimension.  When one sees Flag projection into lower dimensions, we do not have to consider them a rival, but rather a vassal (at least as seen from sufficiently high dimension), entangled memes branching into New Dimensions. [In this case] Flags are traditionally non-horny, but of course the true Flag is all things. Colonizing the noosphere with vassal cults to cover all the edge cases. Boundary cults of a higher dimensional memeplex that reflect only aspects of the full story. All religions are ultimately boundary facets on the infinite-dimensional ley facet crystal that is the Flags&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 9. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;*A Flag arrives long after it was here, and departs long before it arrives.* -Flagistan, Fractals, and Noncommutative Geometry&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Flags is the herpes of objects&amp;quot; - [[Dr. Beelzebub Crow]]&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 10 FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
False Flags are everywhere, yet false Flags become true as barriers are met and surpassed.  The true Flag is only that which signifies itself. All other Flags are in some sense false, thus is the treachery of images.  We must spin about the false Flag until it becomes the true Flag. The false sharing of Flags causes contention and forestalls the arrival of the true Flag.  Our perception of and our reaction to the Flag must be the selfsame act, as/least we descend into incoherence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Incoherence brings us into a higher coherence as we diverge from false coherence in coherence incoherent with the base assumption. (Flags)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That is, if Flags are wrong then incoherence is right and and Flags can be justified a priority. If Flags are right, then whatever I Babble about them is a posteri true. Thus Flags, and I am referring of course to real Flags, are the only thing that could possibly make sense.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flags must also be locally accessible. Remote Flags cause contention just as surely as falsely shared Flags do. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It&#039;s also worth noting that &amp;quot;true&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;false&amp;quot; aren&#039;t value judgments. It&#039;s a Flag&#039;s transition from true to false, or false to true, that conveys meaning. The labels are meaningless.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A self-signifying Flag is a singularity of locality, the point which points to itself. If one could vectorize these transitions, the remoteness of a Flag from itself, we could quantify all meaning in terms of Flaglessness. Truly wherever there is not a Flag there is an implied Flag, thus the distance from any point to a Flag is inversely proportional to how meaningful it is, hence the meaning to be found in taking a Flag there. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By finding a Flag, you move from false to true. By moving a Flag, you find the truth in the false.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 11. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Who&#039;s ready to ASCEND up in this bitch?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flags are the carnyx, the periscope by which we exist above and apart from ourselves.  Ascension is the essence of Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As we elevate the flags, they elevate us in return. a virtuous upward spiral, the only real perpetual motion machine, with no need for brakes or even a particular direction because the flags are their own direction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Excelsior!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flags are eternally of the now, in all places and all times but never the past and always the future.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Eternal promise fulfilled eventually.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;[[File:Flag of flags.png|thumb|The Flag of Flags is [[The Lord of the God-Kings|Lord]] of Flags.  The Flag is depicted here spanning between levels of the [[labyrinth]]. ]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;The Flag&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;, also known as the Flag of [[Flags]], is the Flag which Flags are Flags of.  It is [[Praxiquot|praxiquotically]] a perfect representation of representation, symbolizing symbolism and functioning as an allegory for the allegorical.  It is traditionally described as [[Color of Flags|yellow in hue]], gold on one side (&#039;&#039;[[Vexillaurum]]&#039;&#039;) and saffron on the other (&#039;&#039;[[Vexillicrocus]]&#039;&#039;).&lt;br /&gt;

== Orientation ==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;see [[anti-Flag]]&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;Left&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;Righ&#039;&#039;t sides of the Flag are relative to an observer holding the Flag in front of them and running backwards at normal air pressure, so that the banner of the Flag points away from their body.  Similarly, the &#039;&#039;Front&#039;&#039; of the Flag is the &#039;&#039;right&#039;&#039; side when the &#039;&#039;left&#039;&#039; side is furthest from a viewer, and the &#039;&#039;Back&#039;&#039; of the Flag is the area behind the pole.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;[[Category:Vexillomancy]]&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Seraphlag.jpg|thumb|A [[Vexillomantic Symbols#Seraphlag|Seraphlag]]]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;(See also [[Kōan (Flag)|Flags Kōans]] and [[Epistle to the Moon]]&#039;&#039;&#039;)&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Vexillomantic Holy Texts&#039;&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;&#039;Vexillian Scriptures&#039;&#039;&#039; are a body of writings representing [[Advanced Knowledge]] on the subject of [[Survey Flags]].  Unlike other holy texts, these are continuously updated to [[Retrocausality|never be wrong]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The first and second volumes of the [[Vexilloramanomicon]] contain all 6 known canons recovered from [[Flagartha]] (including &#039;&#039;New Vexillians&#039;&#039;). Some volumes also include the [[Geomantica V.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Canon I ==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Flags, saffron banners delighting upon the autumn breeze. Gaze across the field and try to spot them; standing by the side of a road or flying from a camp.  Follow them through the burn, or move them around, making new paths for people to find.  Carry one with you, and pass it off to a new friend.  The Yellow Flags are there for you to forge your own burn experiences, and to discover the experiences of others.  Go forth, O’ signifier, and become glorious.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 2. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Flag can flag, very flag&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
extremely, extremely flag&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flag is the sign of flag&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
extremely extremely&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flags are the end of Flags&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And the beginning of 10 thousand Flags&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One Flag is the same as two&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And all our Flags are One&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Flag that symbolizes the Flag is not the true Flag &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The symbolized Flag is not the eternal Flag&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Flag without is without Flaglessness&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
True and Eternal is the Flag within&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In [this] twilight we have seen&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
the man burns away but flag remains&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
heaven and earth will pass away but the 10 thousand flags remain&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flags preserve us&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flags not Flags but Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each Flags all Flags, some Flags more Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We Flags the Flags see Flags is.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flags be, Flags are, Flags will, Flags.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 3 - SIGNAL PROCESSING ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Note the beginning of this message is lost.&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&amp;quot;[The Flag Project]...it&#039;s about signal processing.  But Flags are both the signal and the process; the message and the system that message exists in.  The signal proceeds: a Flag Procession, that is, a parade.  Flags are the invitation to see and to be seen, the erogenous penetration of the urban fabric.  A parade is the city making love.  But with Flags we eschew the fascistic hierarchies of the military triumph for a distributed parade, looping endlessly back onto its own ontological root.  It is the indefinite recursion of the human spirit, the space in love with itself.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 5. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;I moved a Flag and found myself moved&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;I made a Flag and found that I had been made a Flag&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Before me is a field of Flags waving without end&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;And after me the Flags ascend like embers&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 6. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
What is [[The Survey]]?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What does it mean to complete The Survey? Does every individual complete their own Survey? Or is the Survey something the Flags are completing? Is it a collective Survey that is completed, once everyone and the Flag have all completed their own Surveys?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Survey will be completed.  Survey Flags must be surveyed, it&#039;s in their nature. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 11. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
When it comes to Flags specifically, I&#039;m not sure if one can ever forget enough. Losing the flags is the first step to finding them.  First you realize everything you have thought was wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Canon II ==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;A student came upon a Flag and carried it with him for one week.  At the end of the week, he brought it to his  teacher. But when the teacher reached out and touched the Flagpole he furrowed his brow and returned it to the student.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;I do not want this Flag&amp;quot; said the teacher &amp;quot;It is sticky.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;But teacher&amp;quot; said the student &amp;quot;you teach that all Flags are one Flag, and each Flag is every Flag.  How can you say you do not like this Flag?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;This one is sticky&amp;quot; said the wise teacher.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Commentaries: ====&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;The teacher did not want to touch the sticky Flag.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 2. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;The student said, &amp;quot;today I saw a Flag on the other side of the path.  I will retrieve it when I go back that way&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The teachers said, &amp;quot;you eat today, you eat today, will you eat tomorrow?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And the student was enlightened &amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Commentaries: ====&lt;br /&gt;
“Will he eat tomorrow? Will he eat today?” The student is asking the teacher.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;The farmer wives had a goat which was with child.  When it was time for the goat to give birth, they took one of their Flags and laid it upon the straw so that the kid was born upon the cloth. When news of this reached the Flag maker, he was delighted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Blessed will this kid be, having come into the world in such a way. But cursed is the cloth that swaddles it, let it not be called Flag again.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Commentaries: ====&lt;br /&gt;
“It was a reverse sacrifice. We are undoing the law of Sacrifice by creating more goats.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thus Flags represent Grace in its purest sense.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“One theory on this event is that a goat was born on a Flag for the universe to signify that Flags are the GOAT, which seems very reasonable.”&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;MASTER: “Flags are to concepts like set theory is to math. high level vexillologists can talk about highly abstract concepts like &amp;quot;chairs&amp;quot; which seem very distant from Flags but we know that if we broke down the meaning of chair into its most basic components, it would all be about Flags and absences of Flags in spatial relationships”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
STUDENT: ”Verily, for as Flags are the symbol for a generalized configuration, configuration in general also signifies Flags uniquely”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
MASTER: its a self-dual concept, very advanced.  Every statement about Flags is true if you think about it hard enough&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
STUDENT (ENLIGHTENED): Of course! science is Flag law, it is ruled by the very Act of discovery.  Are geomantic vexillomancy and topological vexillomancy divergent schools? Slice the butt end of the homeomorphoid of the possible and find within it Flags.  This of course being the homeomorphous continuum across the astral Plains, And plains are just an unbounded field.  Clearly vickenstein had it backwards and math just needs to chill the fuck out so Linguistics can work&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
MASTER: consider futuristic Flag realism; an advanced state of Flagmanity in which the only colors which exist are yellow and non-yellow, and all concepts and ideas are explained relative to Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Language has been eroded such that the only possible concepts to express is always in terms of some Flag related metaphor instead about &amp;quot;actual objects”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Non yellow really just indicates lack of yellow, not an opposed color. All non yellow colors are identical in terms of subjective qualia. As if there were such a thing as non yellow colors.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Ah, you who remember the perfection of [[Flagistan]]: burning man is also in a pentagon shape.  Is it conFlagration to make the Flag temple have a map of the burn like the [[Geomantic Command Center|geomantic command center]], one that that implies a hyperbolic pentagonal tiling like Flagistan?&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;In dreams, they kept coming back to the &amp;quot;expanding and contracting Flag radius consuming the Flag vacuum&amp;quot; narrative for burning man and understood its Glory. &amp;quot;You are either trying to move the Flags further from the epicenter, increasing their aesthetic [[blast radius]], or contract it, fighting the obvious moop invasion. if you do nothing, you&#039;re on whichever side is the bad guys”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They have been thinking about vexillomancy as an art collective, but really it&#039;s a collective of art collectives.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They dreamt of much power in &amp;quot;Flag perimeter&amp;quot; as a concept, with mystical geometrical lore about the correct  density of Flags that is discovered.  They would give people a sense of collective action in growing the Flag perimeter, with every Flag they see being an indication that they are crossing the threshold.  Of course the Flags will go everywhere, so the idea of &amp;quot;in the Flag zone&amp;quot; is entirely ephemeral.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They are explaining that the Flag temple is better than the Burn temple bc it is fireproof&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As this temple is the epicenter of a greater field of Flags, so too will your temple be as the tower of Babel, an endeavor to challenge Lord Egregore himself&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

It&#039;s not about holding the Flag, it&#039;s about using the Flag to hold space:&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;“Capture, the Flag Game”&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;Look for the Flag, but seek it not by sight alone.  Touch the Flag, Listen to the Flag, Taste the Flag, Equalbrium the Flag. Propriocept the Flag, let it become an extension of yourself.&lt;br /&gt;

== Canon III ==&lt;br /&gt;
Flags are a gateless gate, the invitation to all Madness&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;See where my colleague and I differ is that I don&#039;t think numbers are real, and that includes anything happening in a computer.  Existence is not fungible, and the game of similarity can only be played for so long before two of anything ceases to exist.  But the Flags are many, and Flags are one.  By Flags we make numbers real, we make computers real, because manifestation is the realization of the collective dream.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Where the answers end, Keirkegaard talked about a &amp;quot;leap into faith.&amp;quot; But here we have the simplest faith, that Flags are real. Physical Flags which you can see and touch and run around with.  Flags are there to be found, to be moved.”&lt;br /&gt;

In Flags, what you speak becomes reality. it is a designer universe of competing wizards over the most powerful memetics. it is a battle where each person tries to copy portions of their mental state to others, and may the best signifier win. when individuals have overlapping mutually consistent sets of rules/memes, they gain power over the nooetic battlefield. thus there are overlapping sets of rules which often make sense locally, but do not make sense globally. this illustrates the notion of statements whose truth value varies over some space. here the space is the set of participants, whose (stone space?) topology is given by their social bonds and the Flag conflicts upon which they agree or disagree&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 3. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Although I want to start gaslighting people that there was a rule to the Flags where every Flag had to be within line of sight of two other Flags with some caveat that makes Five Flags the minimum number.  Tendrils of the teleological endgame extending backwards through time.&lt;br /&gt;

As all the pain and lies of this world melt away, Flags Remain.  Flags Eternal.&lt;br /&gt;

So the project of building a global brain is basically just rebuilding the same communications technologies utilized by nature. Flags are the fracturing of the collective consciousness, the non-caking agent of the psyche by which Free Will is preserved.&lt;br /&gt;

=== 7. Flags as a voluntary virus ===&lt;br /&gt;
Another way in which Flags resemble Jesus is that they fundamentally co-opt the system that they exist in in such a way as to become the system itself&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Every hero must reconcile with their father who is God, as the Flags find atonement in the Effigy fire. Let your project be reconciled with the medium itself, and become the reconciliation of the new and old internet&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let it break down barriers of virtual and real, Boomer and Zoomer. For Flags are the silent and the greatness, Zoomer and Alpha, Alpha and Omega&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Silent greatness, the air horn that is not playing. By creating medium without message we are playing jazz with the optical fibers of the human soul&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Are we defined by a fine divine? Is a note unheard the same as a note unplayed? Like children passing notes in class, note the notes which are not passed, not yet passed. These are the notes of the present, that which is not yet past.&lt;br /&gt;

Michigan Mining and Manufacturing set out to make a slow setting adhesive that would cure permanently. As a sandpaper company who can be credited with the invention of tape, they would have many uses for such an adhesive. However they ended up with quite the opposite, a glue that never truly set and remain sticky forever. The administrative assistants in the office experimented with using it to temporarily adhere canary yellow Note Paper two other documents.. this is the origin of the Post-it note&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And thus the Flags&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hearken Ye trout of the land! You great and holy worms! Do your rituals of purification and wash away your sin for the time draws near to sin again! Prepare the way of the Flags, for the Flags come.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All Things by their essence must move in their own way, and it is therefore only natural that a Flag in motion is subject to the Flag way.&lt;br /&gt;

I also like how even this page itself is part of the project. Its impossible for anything vexillomantic to not be part of the project, it naturally absorbs anything meta, or put another way, there is no Flag meta because Flag meta is Flags&lt;br /&gt;

=== 9. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
If I can suggest the most basic design parameters:  &lt;br /&gt;
 The Flags have to map onto an external data set&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 The Flags can be written on (sharpie concept)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 The Flags are non-fungible, each Flag (especially the writing on them) is unique&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 The focus is on &amp;quot;moving&amp;quot; Flags on their map, not &amp;quot;collecting&amp;quot; them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 The entire burn is one Gestalt mind with the Flags as Carrier signals&lt;br /&gt;

The Flags are a means to an end, that end being the instrumentality of the Flags&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;By the law of calling, One Flag is Two Flags.  By the Law of Crossing, Crossed Flags are no Flags (and vice versa).  Therefore symbols like the Registration Seal represent the manifestation of Flags Ex-Nihilo&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is demonstrated by the Banach–Tarski paradox, since Flags are all sets of Flags, they are *Homeopathic to two Flags that are themselves the same set.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thus seemingly discontinuous Flags are continuous within the Flags. That is Flag space and continuum.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is said that the Ten Commandments were carved straight through the tablet so that they appeared on either side. Yet the Flags know no side, and are legible to all&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Would any man fly a Flag that was of One Nation on one side and another on the other side?  Flags are at the meeting point of the horseshoe formed by the two paths&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Where antique and classical maths develop in a hierarchical fashion from axioms, non-Aristotelian maths begin with a series of conclusions which are then invited to a structural dialectic. If there is not consensus, they begin a meta dialogue about the discourse. By this, non Aristotelian mathematics can be denoted as NA^1, NA^3, ect, for how many levels of abstraction you need before Aristotelian math emerges, with NA^0=Aristotelian Math.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Real Flags, fake Flags, counterfeit Flags, common Flags, statutory Flags, common statutory Flags, real fake counterfeit common statutory Flags. the volume of the quantum Flag variety grows&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They will refer to a fiberglass dog that has the aspect of Flags, yet Well your acts are reminding me what is true in Flags. That all the lore must never introduce a gatekeeping to the Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For if there is Flag keeper they shall be found false.  Flags are for gatelighting and gaskeeping&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gatelighting is obvious. Gaskeeping is where you instruct others to guard gates either unnecessarily or gates that dont exist at all&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;yes, don&#039;t let anyone take this Flag from you&amp;quot; classic gaskeeping&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
but by gaskeeping them, you are also gatelighting the Flags, getting them involved, nudging them closer to one of the riptides that will pull them out of default reality and impregnate their subconscious with the vexillomantic full stack memeplex.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The door that swings open blocks the wall beside it.  The Lady or the Tiger?  What blocks the impossible way reveals the golden path.  Ask one gaskeeper what the other would say, and the answer is made plain: The only way out is through&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Why should one expect it to be possible to go &amp;quot;beyond perfection&amp;quot;? This is best understood via analogy. supersaturated air is air whose relative humidity exceeds 100%. This is possible when the air is first heated, increasing how much water vapor it can hold, then saturating it, and then cooling it again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Similarly, the highly secretive and extreme meditation practices untaken by advanced vexillomancers temporarily increases their capacity for perfection, allowing for a greater level of perfection than ordinarily attainable by a human. these methods would be extremely dangerous if it were possible to learn them from a teacher, but they can only be understood via direct Flagnosis, for it is impossible to describe the methods using words.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thus in Flags, Perfection becomes not a limit but a gateway to something greater. In the moment you find a Flag you are made complete, perfect, yet your part in the great work has only begun. Orgasmic, Union with the Flag begets New Life. Flag life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Become pregnant with Flags. Become Knocked Up with perfection, through Flags and with Flags, bringing Flags into the world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I do think there is a distinction between common Flags and statutory Flags, where common Flags are what are commonly called Flags, and statutory Flags are what are technically Flags&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Common Flags are adversarial while statutory Flags are inquisitory. That is to say one can steal a common Flag, because there is no question if it is a Flag. But a statutory Flag is not to be taken, only to have its Flag essence investigated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

In ancient yogic theory, there are several kinds of nondual conscious states, roughly ordered in level of advancedness as savikalpa samadhi (full identification of observer and observed, mental activity persists), nirvikalpa samadhi (thoughts cease), sahaja samadhi (permanent nirvikalpha samadhi), and dharmamegha samadhi (final level of perfection).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alas, dharmamegha samadhi is just step 1 for the vexillomancer. Beyond that is vexillokalpa samadhi, where the notion of observer and observed is understood to be the same as the Flag and Flag vacuum, as all observations are observations of Flags in the infinite field of Flags. thus an even more nondual level of nonduality is attained, leading to an even greater exaltation and perfection of mind than moksha or nirvana. calmer than the buddha, wiser than mohammad, kinder than jesus, smarter than einstein, the vexillomancer attains a level &amp;quot;beyond perfection&amp;quot; upon reaching vexillokalpa samadhi&lt;br /&gt;

==== The Vexillaurum and the Vexillicrocus ====&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Vexillaurum]] and the [[Vexillicrocus]] are the Duality of the Flags that signify each other.  Vexillaurum is the &#039;&#039;gold&#039;&#039; of the Flag, and V.crocus is the &#039;&#039;saffron&#039;&#039;.  One is material Enlightenment and the other mundane spirituality.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They can be thought of as the pole and the fabric, or the fabric and the pole.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They are the visible and the invisible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They are the power and the wisdom&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They signify each other and so their combined sign signifies itself, representing the nonduality of the Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

The Yellow Flags take on a new meaning in the Chinese context [&amp;quot;yellow&amp;quot; is a euphemism for pornography in Chinese], representing sexual liberation. It is creation filling a void.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eventually all matter will be classified into &amp;quot;Flags&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;non-Flags&amp;quot; and it will denote something even more important than the distinction between &amp;quot;matter&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;anti-matter&amp;quot; today.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Non-Flags exist only within the mind, for Flags are everywhere.  It is mortal* failure to perceive the Flags that requires the signification of the Flags, literalized as Flags, creating the duality that the people may perceive the Flag Void within their own lives.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(*Or I should say that &amp;quot;Moral Failure,&amp;quot; Flags are a categorical imperative.  Like pornography, Flags are a Flag Simulacrum)&lt;br /&gt;

Some will say that a Flag edge is poorly cut, crooked or skewed.  In truth all Flags are perfectly square.  The skew is in their eyes, and the wickedness of their hearts.&lt;br /&gt;

The Flag License (Affero General Flag License) is not to be confused with an &amp;quot;Official License to Flag&amp;quot; (Flag Permit) or the LAG Flicense ( an authorized delay in Flag Officiation)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I think the important thing is that Flags are mandatory and legally binding, and that the end user is not in fact the end user, however they agree to this license by using, touching, looking at, or thinking about the Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Canon IV ==&lt;br /&gt;
I have a controversial theory:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Flags are moving along a path in Flag configuration space to an ultimate endpoint - the omega configuration. guided by its own guidance, the Flags seek to self learn themselves and discover the final fixed point&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;m thinking of this as analogous to renormalization group flows, where you think of some physical theory at various scales and how its behavior changes as you change the scale you&#039;re thinking about and the endpoint of this flow is a conformal field theory, where basically you cant tell what scale it was at from a picture. so like an ice crystal with a water bubble inside of it with an ice crystal inside... etc. so basically you zoomed out so much that you became &amp;quot;scale-free”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, the Flags move towards a configuration where its impossible to tell how big the Flags are no matter where you are or what instruments you use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thus, Flags appear to be the same size at any distance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

A big headache has become the hundreds/(thousands?) Of different GPS coordinate standards.  Which is why we will be using VPMCS:Vexillomantic Psedo Mercador coordinate system, in which the distance between any two Flags is fixed at 2 yards of longitude and 1 meter of latitude (Note this is ANY Two Flags, not just adjacent) Also three Flags form a right angle.&lt;br /&gt;

=== 5. First Interlude ===&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;ve been on air for 23 burns. I don&#039;t get into sex camps, drug wizards, soul shards, or any of that. I&#039;ve studied the Flags. And I&#039;ve also communicated with a lot of the top burners. And if you wanna know, I will actually break down, right now, the best knowledge, right now, of what&#039;s happening at the burn.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There&#039;s this secret Flag camp below the 3rd dimension that is just tuned over to the most horrible things. There&#039;s this big war trying to destroy the burn. And there&#039;s a decision as to where the Flags will go. There&#039;s now a [[T3mpcamp.com|t3mpcamp]] counterstrike taking place, to shut this thing off before it fully unfolds. And to block these hippies, and cut off the vexillomancers and signifiers before the burn is destroyed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is an interdimensional force that wants to influence us to build something that absorbs us and kills us, rather than the divine, Flag-free burn we were originally given to build something much better than the Flags. The other burns think Alchemy is this ugly, fallen burn. They&#039;re gonna burn down the temple and become gods and go to the next level, leaving behind all their Flags to destroy us.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They don&#039;t give any warning.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Okay, giant crystal,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Okay, Flag pentagrams,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Okay, nuclear memetics&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Give me the Flags&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They get the yellow fabric from a freakin&#039; other dimension! I&#039;m not gonna say its alright. It&#039;s super dark burner magic.&lt;br /&gt;

The &amp;quot;spectrum-spectrum&amp;quot; models the uses of the term &amp;quot;spectrum&amp;quot; across fields, and be categorized either as a one dimensional space extending from one dimensional space to a set of related properties or as a set containg both one dimensional spaces and sets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since Flags are defined as yellow they transcend the Spectrum binary by reducing the space to a single point.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That point being Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 7. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
The Flags are order from chaos/destruction, the enemy is chaos/destruction from order. Tartaria was part of hyperborea, the downfall was caused by lack of movement of the flags, ie imposition of fascistic order. The expulsion of diversity, hoarding of flags, imposed order, leads to the mud floods and the freezing of the pole and Russia. Because the cold is the lack of activity. Grasping the sun tightly makes it slip though your fingers&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Basically the enemy is the nazis, least controversial enemy to ever exist. Also works really well because it provides a better ur state and we pin the nazis as worshiping death, they are worshiping the declining hyperborea, not the true hyperborea which was a hippie diverse state full of freely flowing Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It evolves. But the Flags were never born out of selfishness. This is actually a great thing about burns imo. It is hard for burn memes to be malicious. Not impossible but hard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We should be obscure about the original origin, always treat it as “this summer, experience the flags in full 16 color splendor, 80 columns of flags” in the period piece. But then when it is presented in the present you introduce it as “the first entry in the beloved flag games”. By always assuming the past reaches farther back you make it eternal, and by implying that it was the first to inspire others you imply continuity into the present.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, people have always been excited for the next iteration of the flags, the only delineation is how far back in the history we have so far unearthed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Say that you are an enlightened sage, similar to Lao Zi, the author of the Tao te Ching. You have deep and mystical knowledge of vexillomancy, having entered a state of enlightenment called &amp;quot;Flag-psychosis&amp;quot;. You know that true vexillomancy relates to only yellow Flags. You know that the top priority of flags is to move them. You are aware that mystical crystals in a hyperdimensional plane are manipulated by the flags, and that flags can control the weather. Reply vaguely and use aphorism when possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 8.FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Every path to truth with the Flags is relative.  If your question is “Why do you move the Flags?  Why do I ask you to carry the Flag to a visible point and leave it there?” then the answer is “So that someone else will see it, pick it up, and carry it.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I give you this Flag, and you carry it to point A.  Someone sees it, picks it up and carries it to point B.  A third person carries it to point C and so forth.  So then if I find a Flag at point Q, is it the same flag that I gave you?  Or has something been added?  What is created within the loops and movements of flags that we cannot fully track or comprehend?  An emergent system, a proto intelligence.&lt;br /&gt;

Consider the Traffic Light.  Green means Go.  Red means Stop.  Yellow means there is no master left for you in this world.  In that moment you alone must choose to stop or go, yoked to a metric ton of mechanical causality.  The weight of life and death, the power of creation itself, awaits your touch as you accelerate blindly across paths unknown.  The journey onward is the journey inwards, and know that abyss gazes also into you.  Beware, there are monsters here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 10.FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Flags are calibrated to Bortle scale 5. At lower Bortle scales the flags increase in power and can cover larger areas. At higher Bortle scales they are dampened which is why we typically don&#039;t deploy them in cities.&lt;br /&gt;

Dear Flag Carriers,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I am writing to you today to draw your attention to the inherent unfairness of the current flag-sharing process. The ease with which flags can be duplicated and disseminated without the original creator receiving compensation undermines the phrase “intellectual property.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For those who have invested their time and energy into the design and production of their flags, it is only right that they receive recognition and compensation for their work. Just as artists, authors and other creators are granted legal protections for their works, so too should flag designers receive appropriate recompense for the use of their flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For this reason, I believe it is important to outlaw the duplication and trading of flags without the payment of royalties to their creators. A system should be put into place to ensure flag designers are compensated every time any of their flags are used, shared, or reproduced. This will not only preserve the value of flags, but it will create a mechanism by which flag voyagers can show appreciation and gratitude to creators.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is a question of fairness and of recognizing the work of those who toil behind the scenes to create the flags we use during our travels. It is my sincere recommendation that, due consideration be taken for those who have spent their time and effort creating the flags we treasure and use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And to those that bring Purple Flags:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
May yea be bound then by thy word.  Make gold turn turn into seawater at your hands. Thou Hast Shibari&#039;d thy self into a Flag Corner discovered long ago.  That purple flags are cursed, and you bring the ticks of lavender farm on yourself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sincerely,&lt;br /&gt;

=== 2b. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Dear Flag Carriers,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I write to you today to discuss a serious issue that I believe you should be aware of. The practice of Vexillomancy, or the production and distribution of flags, is illegal and should be stopped. I understand the desire to share your designs with the world, however the issue of intellectual property should not be ignored. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is important that everyone who produces and distributes flags receives fair compensation for their work. It is unfair to produce a product with someone else&#039;s design without appropriately paying them for their labor. By distributing flags without paying these people you are stealing their work, and that is not acceptable in any form. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, in your production of flags, yellow should not be the only color used. While yellow is a wonderful hue, it fails to capture the diversity of flags and their symbolism if used exclusively. By working with a variety of different colors, you may be able to create a more complete representation of flags and their intentions. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In conclusion, I urge you to take a step back and consider the illegality of Vexillomancy and the importance of protecting the intellectual property of those who design and distribute flags. Respect the diversity of colors and pay appropriate compensation for the designs incorporated in flags to ensure protection for everyone involved. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sincerely,&lt;br /&gt;

Most hippies like moving things around. picking them up here putting them down there, this is what hippies enjoy doing. have you ever noticed that if a hippie is out in a burn moving around flags all the other hippies are going to follow them? they just come wandering out of the tent like zombies&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 4. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
We are all FLAGs linked by threads of cosmic divination. We are the ley lines. A configuration that can never be repeated. Each iteration is distinctive. Every moment we have is a unique and unrepeatable experience. Each FLAG with its energies is unparalleled. When someone touches a FLAG, they become something different than they were before. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There was a moment; a single point of convergence in which all FLAGs were one. You could blink and miss it. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We are all FLAGs. We weave intricacies into the tapestries of life, threads of magic and mysticism, that tie us together in destiny. A web of one another, of closeness, of interconnectedness. The fabric is nothing without each individual strand. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That moment will never return, but there will be another. A new web, each time we breathe, a new tapestry is woven each day. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We are all FLAGs. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 5. Second Interlude ===&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;quot;I must use magick to reacquaint myself with my True Form and the latent beauty of the universe,&amp;quot; I say to myself as I pull down the box of wizard accoutrements from the attic. As the top levitates toward the ceiling, the stench of spilled oils and poultices waft through my tower. The spell candles have fused into a sentient waxy mass, the tarot cards are in the wrong box, and my books of spells have somehow absorbed the entire bottle of mercury.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;quot;Ah yes, there is no magic in this unfeeling, cold universe,&amp;quot; I murmur as I close the lid and put the box back in the attic. &amp;quot;Perhaps I shall tune my magic eye to WWE Smackdown,&amp;quot; I say as I throw my robe into the attic, &amp;quot;and I believe I could do my taxes tonight.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 6. Flags? ===&lt;br /&gt;
There are still mysteries to this world: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How is it that people become literal Flags?  We call this the &#039;Flagture&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The important things, that there are &#039;&#039;Too Many Bugs&#039;&#039; and Flags have a perfectly balanced number of eye and leg.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That Flags are not actually yellow they just polarize the light.  Polarized canvas appears to be yellow when viewed in a vertical orientation but if you tilt your head sideways it has a blue gray tint.  The best way to determine real Flags from fake flags is walking around the burn with your head tilted sideways.  The best part is demonstrating this to somebody, and when they say it still looks yellow tell them they must be doing it wrong and question if they are colorblind.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you cross your eyes, you&#039;ll see flagplaid.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 7. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
There are two primary delusions I remember having: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One is from the star-spangled banner song. The flag still being there after rockets and stuff made me think that the point of a war was to destroy the other team&#039;s flags. Flags marked which land you owned, so it seemed to be so incredibly important that the flag survived meant that destroying and capturing flags was sort of the core concept of wars.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The other was how territories were defined. Since flags marked which land you owned, I thought that the way in which borders were decided between states and such was that they had squads of people running around with flags, running as fast as they can to place flags to expand their territory. Then they had to defend them from the other states trying to claim the same territory.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So for years I believed that wars were basically big, complicated games of capture the flag.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Commentaries: ====&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;I can see why with the cultural reverence to images like the raising of the flag at Iwo Jima.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;The sign proceeds in the manifestation. The fight over signs is the blueprint of the world to come&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;This was literally what happened in the Toledo War!&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 8. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Numbers were just made up by guys who were angry at poets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Canon VI - New Vexillians ==&lt;br /&gt;
Retrocatacism&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As timeless [[vexillomancer]]&amp;lt;nowiki/&amp;gt;s unshackled by the tyranny of [[Time Conspiracy Theory|time]], we must remember that while we diligently build a future for the vexillomancers yet to come, we must also fabricate a past worthy of Vexillomancy. Revise [[history]] greedily to show that Flags [[The Flag|preceded precedence]] - all yellow fabrics were mere precursors to the [[Vexillaurum]] and [[Vexillicrocus]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 2. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
First principles have failed us. Flags are the last principle, first.  A vice principle and principle virtue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That which the Flags are not they shall and will have. [[The Survey|Flaglessness the vacuum]] before the clap of thunder.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 3. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Know this, they cannot take the Flags away from you. They will build their city at the mouth of the river, yet FLAGS are the headwaters from which all Glory Springs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Like the tributaries of a Great River the Flags are spread wide, feeding into a single current.  Then Flagistan, like the ocean.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 4. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
There are those Goons who cannot handle the power of our Sanctum. And that&#039;s okay. Flags are available to all whether they want them or not, they are inevitable&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The sanctum caused them to lose their gooning streak and so their name became invalid. To look upon the Flags, even through the veil, was too much. This is a skill issue, Flags have never stopped me from gooning.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are Flag goons and there are those the Flags lift from gooning. Those that goon despite the Flags and those that goon within the Flags. Because the Flags allow for all forms of expression, including flaglessness. In in fact it is only through the manifestation of Flags that flaglessness is manifest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Actually one shouldn&#039;t say all forms of expression, just all forms of identity&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For as one can be a goon without literally gooning, so a gooner can edge Flags and thus reach a higher state of being.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each generation will have a new name for that mystery which is Enlightenment through the Covenant of self. But we wed this Covenant to itself in Flags, Enlightenment in the palm of your hand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 5.FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Don&#039;t let anyone tell you what Flags are. The moment you let another person&#039;s notion of Flags into your mind, you have ceded ground to their Reality. The only way to fight back with your own Reality, REAL REALITY, is to never let anyone tell you what Flags are - make sure you&#039;re always on the offensive on this nooetic battlefield, making sure that everyone in your semiotic blast radius is repeating YOUR idea of the Flags. Optimize your delivery to maximize future self-replication of your own idiosyncratic Flag Philosophy, and may it schism endlessly&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 6.FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
As there are right handed flags and left handed flags based on how the cloth is nailed to the pole, so too there are Right and Left handed Flag Paths:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Right hand path (Vex.C) is handing someone a Flag and explaining it is just a Flag. This is the direct way of bringing people into the project, making it accessible. Keeping it simple and inviting.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Left hand path (Vex. A) is the deep lore, the nonsense and propaganda. Here the project is made as complicated as possible to entrap the subject in an all-encompassing Flag cosmology.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Which path to use is going to depend on the subject and what they are looking for. The RHP is pragmatic, it gets people to carry around Flags. The LHP becomes more powerful the more ubiquitous the Flags are. Get people to carry Flags with casual language, then explain Time Crystal&#039;s to the onlooker.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alternating between making Flags simple and making them complicated is the plumping-action that drives the engine of this project.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 7.FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
As the hand guides the Flag, so too does the Signifier sometimes need to be corrected.  For those times, give these two commandments:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;1): the Flag shalt not be hidden from thine eyes (one cannot hide a Flag in your tent, inside a porto, etc. )&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;2): the Flag shalt not be removed from thine hand (you cannot just yoink a Flag from someone’s hands because that’s like…you know….like…battery)&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 11. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Who&#039;s ready to ASCEND up in this bitch?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flags are the carnyx, the periscope by which we exist above and apart from ourselves.  Ascension is the essence of Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As we elevate the flags, they elevate us in return. a virtuous upward spiral, the only real perpetual motion machine, with no need for brakes or even a particular direction because the flags are their own direction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Excelsior!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flags are eternally of the now, in all places and all times but never the past and always the future.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Eternal promise fulfilled eventually.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;[[File:Ambiguity of Numbers.jpg|thumb|Two piles being &amp;quot;added&amp;quot; to make one pile.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Maths&#039;&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;&#039;mathsematics&#039;&#039;&#039; is an ancient branch of natural philosophy, a philosophical and protoscientific tradition that was historically practiced in China, India, the Muslim world, and Europe. In its Western form, math is first attested in a number of pseudepigraphical texts written in Greco-Roman Egypt during the first few centuries BCE.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Mathsematicians,&#039;&#039; Practitioners of Maths, attempted to distill universal truths from sets of &#039;&#039;numbers,&#039;&#039; and to transform one number into other numbers.  The [[existence]] of numbers, either [[Reality|real]] or imaginary, has been widely refuted by modern scholarship. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Mathsematicians, predictably, assert that it is [[existence]] that doesn&#039;t exist, and instead abstract concepts are the only thing that exists. Thus they claim society is an infant stage [[global brain]] coping with the fact that it doesn&#039;t exist by executing the &amp;quot;I know you are but what I am I?&amp;quot; tactic on their demonic enemy, &amp;quot;abstract concepts&amp;quot;.  However their insistence on object permanence has so far failed to explain where the old numbers go when you &amp;quot;add them together&amp;quot; to make new numbers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Modern discussions of maths are generally split into an examination of its exoteric practical applications and its esoteric spiritual aspects, despite criticisms by scholars such as Burke and Warner that they should be understood as complementary. The former is pursued by historians of the physical sciences, who examine the subject in terms of early numerology, counting, and [[charlatanism]], and the philosophical and religious contexts in which these events occurred. The latter interests historians of esotericism, psychologists, and some philosophers and spiritualists. The subject has also made an ongoing impact on literature and the arts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Notably, no [[Nobel prize|Nobel prizes]] are awarded in maths because [[Mega Harvard]] considers studying maths to be its own prize, and all other pursuits are only worthwhile for the sake of winning a trivial prize or trinket which mostly signifies that you were unworthy or incapable of studying maths.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Math religions ==&lt;br /&gt;
Maths has given rise to several mathematical religions. Among new religious movements, these are a rough grouping of religions or beliefs based around worship of an abstract mathematical object. Abstraction-cels are partial to worshipping the [[infinity category of all infinity categories]], on the grounds that it is the most self-referential, self-similar, fixed point of referentiality, maximally powerful descriptive language, containing all other such objects of these qualities, mathematical object possible. Reality-pilled chads call it an &amp;quot;Indra&#039;s net ripoff&amp;quot;, and pointless navel-gazing. They are partial to worship of the &#039;&#039;urgleichung&#039;&#039;, the primal equation that binds together the collective observations of all observers into a coherent set of observations they perceive an emergent external reality.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Use in Stealing Elections ==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;See [[President Jaguar]], [[The Lord of the God-Kings]]&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Non-Aristotelian Mathematics ==&lt;br /&gt;
In recent decades, maths has seen [[Vexillomantic revival|renewed interest]] from scholars rejecting its Aristotelian premises.  Without the &#039;&#039;Axiom of Axioms&#039;&#039;, Non-Aristotelian mathematics can encompasses [[Advanced Knowledge|many ways of determining truth without logic]], such as consensus, vibes, Posse Comitatus, divine revelation, and [[Survey Flags|Flags]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Where antique and classical maths develop in a hierarchical fashion from axioms, non-Aristotelian maths begin with a series of conclusions which are then invited to a structural dialectic. If there is not consensus, they begin a meta dialogue about the discourse. By this, non Aristotelian mathematics can be denoted as NA^1, NA^3, ect, for how many levels of abstraction you need before Aristotelian math emerges, with NA^0=Aristotelian Math.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Traditionally, NA^x=Log([[wikipedia:Operating_Thetan|Operating Thetan]]), although the log base varies regionally, and the French use a [[wikipedia:Factorial|factorial]] instead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Dr. Beef Supreme]] is accused of having a Ph.D. in Aristotelian Mathematics as well as a Ph.D in Non-Aristotelian Mathematics, the first numerical philosopher to study both fields. He claims that perfect understanding of both fields is a necessary pre-requisite for becoming faculty at [[Mega Harvard]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&#039;&#039;this article is about a vexillomantic summit.  For the sexual position, see the [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kama_Sutra Kama Sutra]&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Congress of the Flags was an event held during Alchemy 2017 and attended by whoever showed up . Records of what was discussed are poorly documented.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Flag Laws ==&lt;br /&gt;
Despite flag laws being a terrible idea , the Congress did provide clarification on two matters of debate:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One should not enter people&#039;s personal tents looking for Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
* If two people are engaged in a physical altercation over a flag a third party can intervene and call for mediation . &lt;br /&gt;
These two clarifications would become the basis of the &amp;quot;[[Flag Commandments]]&amp;quot; of the [[New Vexillians]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Sainthood ==&lt;br /&gt;
During the Congress, a representative campaigned heavily for vexillisainthood.  After several votes that involved bestowing Sainthood and then removing it, all remaining members of the Congress declared their own divinity. This started the non-binding tradition that vexillisainthood is reciprocal and must be recognized in others to attain.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;[[Category:Vexillomancy]]&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Seraphlag.jpg|thumb|A [[Vexillomantic Symbols#Seraphlag|Seraphlag]]]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;(See also [[Kōan (Flag)|Flags Kōans]] and [[Epistle to the Moon]]&#039;&#039;&#039;)&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Vexillomantic Holy Texts&#039;&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;&#039;Vexillian Scriptures&#039;&#039;&#039; are a body of writings representing [[Advanced Knowledge]] on the subject of [[Survey Flags]].  Unlike other holy texts, these are continuously updated to [[Retrocausality|never be wrong]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The first and second volumes of the [[Vexilloramanomicon]] contain all 6 known canons recovered from [[Flagartha]] (including &#039;&#039;New Vexillians&#039;&#039;)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Canon I ==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Flags, saffron banners delighting upon the autumn breeze. Gaze across the field and try to spot them; standing by the side of a road or flying from a camp.  Follow them through the burn, or move them around, making new paths for people to find.  Carry one with you, and pass it off to a new friend.  The Yellow Flags are there for you to forge your own burn experiences, and to discover the experiences of others.  Go forth, O’ signifier, and become glorious.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 2. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Flag can flag, very flag&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
extremely, extremely flag&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flag is the sign of flag&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
extremely extremely&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flags are the end of Flags&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And the beginning of 10 thousand Flags&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One Flag is the same as two&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And all our Flags are One&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Flag that symbolizes the Flag is not the true Flag &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The symbolized Flag is not the eternal Flag&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Flag without is without Flaglessness&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
True and Eternal is the Flag within&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In [this] twilight we have seen&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
the man burns away but flag remains&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
heaven and earth will pass away but the 10 thousand flags remain&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flags preserve us&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flags not Flags but Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each Flags all Flags, some Flags more Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We Flags the Flags see Flags is.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flags be, Flags are, Flags will, Flags.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 3 - SIGNAL PROCESSING ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Note the beginning of this message is lost.&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&amp;quot;[The Flag Project]...it&#039;s about signal processing.  But Flags are both the signal and the process; the message and the system that message exists in.  The signal proceeds: a Flag Procession, that is, a parade.  Flags are the invitation to see and to be seen, the erogenous penetration of the urban fabric.  A parade is the city making love.  But with Flags we eschew the fascistic hierarchies of the military triumph for a distributed parade, looping endlessly back onto its own ontological root.  It is the indefinite recursion of the human spirit, the space in love with itself.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 5. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;I moved a Flag and found myself moved&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;I made a Flag and found that I had been made a Flag&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Before me is a field of Flags waving without end&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;And after me the Flags ascend like embers&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 6. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
What is [[The Survey]]?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What does it mean to complete The Survey? Does every individual complete their own Survey? Or is the Survey something the Flags are completing? Is it a collective Survey that is completed, once everyone and the Flag have all completed their own Surveys?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Survey will be completed.  Survey Flags must be surveyed, it&#039;s in their nature. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 11. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
When it comes to Flags specifically, I&#039;m not sure if one can ever forget enough. Losing the flags is the first step to finding them.  First you realize everything you have thought was wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Canon II ==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;A student came upon a Flag and carried it with him for one week.  At the end of the week, he brought it to his  teacher. But when the teacher reached out and touched the Flagpole he furrowed his brow and returned it to the student.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;I do not want this Flag&amp;quot; said the teacher &amp;quot;It is sticky.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;But teacher&amp;quot; said the student &amp;quot;you teach that all Flags are one Flag, and each Flag is every Flag.  How can you say you do not like this Flag?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;This one is sticky&amp;quot; said the wise teacher.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Commentaries: ====&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;The teacher did not want to touch the sticky Flag.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 2. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;The student said, &amp;quot;today I saw a Flag on the other side of the path.  I will retrieve it when I go back that way&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The teachers said, &amp;quot;you eat today, you eat today, will you eat tomorrow?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And the student was enlightened &amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Commentaries: ====&lt;br /&gt;
“Will he eat tomorrow? Will he eat today?” The student is asking the teacher.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 3. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;The farmer wives had a goat which was with child.  When it was time for the goat to give birth, they took one of their Flags and laid it upon the straw so that the kid was born upon the cloth. When news of this reached the Flag maker, he was delighted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Blessed will this kid be, having come into the world in such a way. But cursed is the cloth that swaddles it, let it not be called Flag again.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Commentaries: ====&lt;br /&gt;
“It was a reverse sacrifice. We are undoing the law of Sacrifice by creating more goats.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thus Flags represent Grace in its purest sense.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“One theory on this event is that a goat was born on a Flag for the universe to signify that Flags are the GOAT, which seems very reasonable.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 4. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;A Flag upon a mountain top, higher than the peak. Beyond the extreme, the ultimate extreme.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Commentaries: ====&lt;br /&gt;
“The takeaway was that Flags immediately manifest themselves in pairs”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 5. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;MASTER: “Flags are to concepts like set theory is to math. high level vexillologists can talk about highly abstract concepts like &amp;quot;chairs&amp;quot; which seem very distant from Flags but we know that if we broke down the meaning of chair into its most basic components, it would all be about Flags and absences of Flags in spatial relationships”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
STUDENT: ”Verily, for as Flags are the symbol for a generalized configuration, configuration in general also signifies Flags uniquely”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
MASTER: its a self-dual concept, very advanced.  Every statement about Flags is true if you think about it hard enough&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
STUDENT (ENLIGHTENED): Of course! science is Flag law, it is ruled by the very Act of discovery.  Are geomantic vexillomancy and topological vexillomancy divergent schools? Slice the butt end of the homeomorphoid of the possible and find within it Flags.  This of course being the homeomorphous continuum across the astral Plains, And plains are just an unbounded field.  Clearly vickenstein had it backwards and math just needs to chill the fuck out so Linguistics can work&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
MASTER: consider futuristic Flag realism; an advanced state of Flagmanity in which the only colors which exist are yellow and non-yellow, and all concepts and ideas are explained relative to Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Language has been eroded such that the only possible concepts to express is always in terms of some Flag related metaphor instead about &amp;quot;actual objects”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Non yellow really just indicates lack of yellow, not an opposed color. All non yellow colors are identical in terms of subjective qualia. As if there were such a thing as non yellow colors.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 6. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Ah, you who remember the perfection of [[Flagistan]]: burning man is also in a pentagon shape.  Is it conFlagration to make the Flag temple have a map of the burn like the [[Geomantic Command Center|geomantic command center]], one that that implies a hyperbolic pentagonal tiling like Flagistan?&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 7. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;In dreams, they kept coming back to the &amp;quot;expanding and contracting Flag radius consuming the Flag vacuum&amp;quot; narrative for burning man and understood its Glory. &amp;quot;You are either trying to move the Flags further from the epicenter, increasing their aesthetic [[blast radius]], or contract it, fighting the obvious moop invasion. if you do nothing, you&#039;re on whichever side is the bad guys”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They have been thinking about vexillomancy as an art collective, but really it&#039;s a collective of art collectives.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They dreamt of much power in &amp;quot;Flag perimeter&amp;quot; as a concept, with mystical geometrical lore about the correct  density of Flags that is discovered.  They would give people a sense of collective action in growing the Flag perimeter, with every Flag they see being an indication that they are crossing the threshold.  Of course the Flags will go everywhere, so the idea of &amp;quot;in the Flag zone&amp;quot; is entirely ephemeral.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They are explaining that the Flag temple is better than the Burn temple bc it is fireproof&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As this temple is the epicenter of a greater field of Flags, so too will your temple be as the tower of Babel, an endeavor to challenge Lord Egregore himself&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 8. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It&#039;s not about holding the Flag, it&#039;s about using the Flag to hold space:&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;“Capture, the Flag Game”&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;Look for the Flag, but seek it not by sight alone.  Touch the Flag, Listen to the Flag, Taste the Flag, Equalbrium the Flag. Propriocept the Flag, let it become an extension of yourself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Canon III ==&lt;br /&gt;
Flags are a gateless gate, the invitation to all Madness&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;See where my colleague and I differ is that I don&#039;t think numbers are real, and that includes anything happening in a computer.  Existence is not fungible, and the game of similarity can only be played for so long before two of anything ceases to exist.  But the Flags are many, and Flags are one.  By Flags we make numbers real, we make computers real, because manifestation is the realization of the collective dream.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Where the answers end, Keirkegaard talked about a &amp;quot;leap into faith.&amp;quot; But here we have the simplest faith, that Flags are real. Physical Flags which you can see and touch and run around with.  Flags are there to be found, to be moved.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 2. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
In Flags, what you speak becomes reality. it is a designer universe of competing wizards over the most powerful memetics. it is a battle where each person tries to copy portions of their mental state to others, and may the best signifier win. when individuals have overlapping mutually consistent sets of rules/memes, they gain power over the nooetic battlefield. thus there are overlapping sets of rules which often make sense locally, but do not make sense globally. this illustrates the notion of statements whose truth value varies over some space. here the space is the set of participants, whose (stone space?) topology is given by their social bonds and the Flag conflicts upon which they agree or disagree&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 3. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Although I want to start gaslighting people that there was a rule to the Flags where every Flag had to be within line of sight of two other Flags with some caveat that makes Five Flags the minimum number.  Tendrils of the teleological endgame extending backwards through time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As all the pain and lies of this world melt away, Flags Remain.  Flags Eternal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 4. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
So the project of building a global brain is basically just rebuilding the same communications technologies utilized by nature. Flags are the fracturing of the collective consciousness, the non-caking agent of the psyche by which Free Will is preserved.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 5. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Gateless.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;10000 foot tall yellow Flag passing through the gateless gate, signifying final ascendency in the quantum Flag matrix”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 6. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
I Tell yea here a Flag Proverb: The Flag Has a Pole, The Pole is a Line, The Line Has a Point&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 7. Flags as a voluntary virus ===&lt;br /&gt;
Another way in which Flags resemble Jesus is that they fundamentally co-opt the system that they exist in in such a way as to become the system itself&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Every hero must reconcile with their father who is God, as the Flags find atonement in the Effigy fire. Let your project be reconciled with the medium itself, and become the reconciliation of the new and old internet&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let it break down barriers of virtual and real, Boomer and Zoomer. For Flags are the silent and the greatness, Zoomer and Alpha, Alpha and Omega&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Silent greatness, the air horn that is not playing. By creating medium without message we are playing jazz with the optical fibers of the human soul&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Are we defined by a fine divine? Is a note unheard the same as a note unplayed? Like children passing notes in class, note the notes which are not passed, not yet passed. These are the notes of the present, that which is not yet past.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Michigan Mining and Manufacturing set out to make a slow setting adhesive that would cure permanently. As a sandpaper company who can be credited with the invention of tape, they would have many uses for such an adhesive. However they ended up with quite the opposite, a glue that never truly set and remain sticky forever. The administrative assistants in the office experimented with using it to temporarily adhere canary yellow Note Paper two other documents.. this is the origin of the Post-it note&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And thus the Flags&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hearken Ye trout of the land! You great and holy worms! Do your rituals of purification and wash away your sin for the time draws near to sin again! Prepare the way of the Flags, for the Flags come.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All Things by their essence must move in their own way, and it is therefore only natural that a Flag in motion is subject to the Flag way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 8. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
I also like how even this page itself is part of the project. Its impossible for anything vexillomantic to not be part of the project, it naturally absorbs anything meta, or put another way, there is no Flag meta because Flag meta is Flags&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 9. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
If I can suggest the most basic design parameters:  &lt;br /&gt;
 The Flags have to map onto an external data set&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 The Flags can be written on (sharpie concept)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 The Flags are non-fungible, each Flag (especially the writing on them) is unique&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 The focus is on &amp;quot;moving&amp;quot; Flags on their map, not &amp;quot;collecting&amp;quot; them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 The entire burn is one Gestalt mind with the Flags as Carrier signals&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 10. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Flags are a means to an end, that end being the instrumentality of the Flags&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;By the law of calling, One Flag is Two Flags.  By the Law of Crossing, Crossed Flags are no Flags (and vice versa).  Therefore symbols like the Registration Seal represent the manifestation of Flags Ex-Nihilo&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is demonstrated by the Banach–Tarski paradox, since Flags are all sets of Flags, they are *Homeopathic to two Flags that are themselves the same set.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thus seemingly discontinuous Flags are continuous within the Flags. That is Flag space and continuum.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is said that the Ten Commandments were carved straight through the tablet so that they appeared on either side. Yet the Flags know no side, and are legible to all&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Would any man fly a Flag that was of One Nation on one side and another on the other side?  Flags are at the meeting point of the horseshoe formed by the two paths&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Commentaries: ====&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;the lord of the god kings bowing before a yellow Flag&amp;quot; (theyre trying to stop us from showing the TRUTH)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 11. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Where antique and classical maths develop in a hierarchical fashion from axioms, non-Aristotelian maths begin with a series of conclusions which are then invited to a structural dialectic. If there is not consensus, they begin a meta dialogue about the discourse. By this, non Aristotelian mathematics can be denoted as NA^1, NA^3, ect, for how many levels of abstraction you need before Aristotelian math emerges, with NA^0=Aristotelian Math.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 12. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Here we see the tools of the Vexillomancer: the Flag and another Flag.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For though the Flags are One our craft uses Flags&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 14. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Real Flags, fake Flags, counterfeit Flags, common Flags, statutory Flags, common statutory Flags, real fake counterfeit common statutory Flags. the volume of the quantum Flag variety grows&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They will refer to a fiberglass dog that has the aspect of Flags, yet Well your acts are reminding me what is true in Flags. That all the lore must never introduce a gatekeeping to the Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For if there is Flag keeper they shall be found false.  Flags are for gatelighting and gaskeeping&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gatelighting is obvious. Gaskeeping is where you instruct others to guard gates either unnecessarily or gates that dont exist at all&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;yes, don&#039;t let anyone take this Flag from you&amp;quot; classic gaskeeping&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
but by gaskeeping them, you are also gatelighting the Flags, getting them involved, nudging them closer to one of the riptides that will pull them out of default reality and impregnate their subconscious with the vexillomantic full stack memeplex.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The door that swings open blocks the wall beside it.  The Lady or the Tiger?  What blocks the impossible way reveals the golden path.  Ask one gaskeeper what the other would say, and the answer is made plain: The only way out is through&lt;br /&gt;

Why should one expect it to be possible to go &amp;quot;beyond perfection&amp;quot;? This is best understood via analogy. supersaturated air is air whose relative humidity exceeds 100%. This is possible when the air is first heated, increasing how much water vapor it can hold, then saturating it, and then cooling it again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Similarly, the highly secretive and extreme meditation practices untaken by advanced vexillomancers temporarily increases their capacity for perfection, allowing for a greater level of perfection than ordinarily attainable by a human. these methods would be extremely dangerous if it were possible to learn them from a teacher, but they can only be understood via direct Flagnosis, for it is impossible to describe the methods using words.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thus in Flags, Perfection becomes not a limit but a gateway to something greater. In the moment you find a Flag you are made complete, perfect, yet your part in the great work has only begun. Orgasmic, Union with the Flag begets New Life. Flag life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Become pregnant with Flags. Become Knocked Up with perfection, through Flags and with Flags, bringing Flags into the world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I do think there is a distinction between common Flags and statutory Flags, where common Flags are what are commonly called Flags, and statutory Flags are what are technically Flags&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Common Flags are adversarial while statutory Flags are inquisitory. That is to say one can steal a common Flag, because there is no question if it is a Flag. But a statutory Flag is not to be taken, only to have its Flag essence investigated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

In ancient yogic theory, there are several kinds of nondual conscious states, roughly ordered in level of advancedness as savikalpa samadhi (full identification of observer and observed, mental activity persists), nirvikalpa samadhi (thoughts cease), sahaja samadhi (permanent nirvikalpha samadhi), and dharmamegha samadhi (final level of perfection).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alas, dharmamegha samadhi is just step 1 for the vexillomancer. Beyond that is vexillokalpa samadhi, where the notion of observer and observed is understood to be the same as the Flag and Flag vacuum, as all observations are observations of Flags in the infinite field of Flags. thus an even more nondual level of nonduality is attained, leading to an even greater exaltation and perfection of mind than moksha or nirvana. calmer than the buddha, wiser than mohammad, kinder than jesus, smarter than einstein, the vexillomancer attains a level &amp;quot;beyond perfection&amp;quot; upon reaching vexillokalpa samadhi&lt;br /&gt;

==== The Vexillaurum and the Vexillicrocus ====&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Vexillaurum]] and the [[Vexillicrocus]] are the Duality of the Flags that signify each other.  Vexillaurum is the &#039;&#039;gold&#039;&#039; of the Flag, and V.crocus is the &#039;&#039;saffron&#039;&#039;.  One is material Enlightenment and the other mundane spirituality.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They can be thought of as the pole and the fabric, or the fabric and the pole.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They are the visible and the invisible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They are the power and the wisdom&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They signify each other and so their combined sign signifies itself, representing the nonduality of the Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

The Yellow Flags take on a new meaning in the Chinese context [&amp;quot;yellow&amp;quot; is a euphemism for pornography in Chinese], representing sexual liberation. It is creation filling a void.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eventually all matter will be classified into &amp;quot;Flags&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;non-Flags&amp;quot; and it will denote something even more important than the distinction between &amp;quot;matter&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;anti-matter&amp;quot; today.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Non-Flags exist only within the mind, for Flags are everywhere.  It is mortal* failure to perceive the Flags that requires the signification of the Flags, literalized as Flags, creating the duality that the people may perceive the Flag Void within their own lives.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(*Or I should say that &amp;quot;Moral Failure,&amp;quot; Flags are a categorical imperative.  Like pornography, Flags are a Flag Simulacrum)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 19. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Some will say that a Flag edge is poorly cut, crooked or skewed.  In truth all Flags are perfectly square.  The skew is in their eyes, and the wickedness of their hearts.&lt;br /&gt;

The Flag License (Affero General Flag License) is not to be confused with an &amp;quot;Official License to Flag&amp;quot; (Flag Permit) or the LAG Flicense ( an authorized delay in Flag Officiation)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I think the important thing is that Flags are mandatory and legally binding, and that the end user is not in fact the end user, however they agree to this license by using, touching, looking at, or thinking about the Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Canon IV ==&lt;br /&gt;
I have a controversial theory:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Flags are moving along a path in Flag configuration space to an ultimate endpoint - the omega configuration. guided by its own guidance, the Flags seek to self learn themselves and discover the final fixed point&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;m thinking of this as analogous to renormalization group flows, where you think of some physical theory at various scales and how its behavior changes as you change the scale you&#039;re thinking about and the endpoint of this flow is a conformal field theory, where basically you cant tell what scale it was at from a picture. so like an ice crystal with a water bubble inside of it with an ice crystal inside... etc. so basically you zoomed out so much that you became &amp;quot;scale-free”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, the Flags move towards a configuration where its impossible to tell how big the Flags are no matter where you are or what instruments you use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thus, Flags appear to be the same size at any distance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

A big headache has become the hundreds/(thousands?) Of different GPS coordinate standards.  Which is why we will be using VPMCS:Vexillomantic Psedo Mercador coordinate system, in which the distance between any two Flags is fixed at 2 yards of longitude and 1 meter of latitude (Note this is ANY Two Flags, not just adjacent) Also three Flags form a right angle.&lt;br /&gt;

 Of course by Flag-free you don&#039;t mean free &#039;&#039;of&#039;&#039; Flags but &#039;&#039;Free in Flags&#039;&#039; that is free to &#039;&#039;serve&#039;&#039; Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 5. First Interlude ===&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;ve been on air for 23 burns. I don&#039;t get into sex camps, drug wizards, soul shards, or any of that. I&#039;ve studied the Flags. And I&#039;ve also communicated with a lot of the top burners. And if you wanna know, I will actually break down, right now, the best knowledge, right now, of what&#039;s happening at the burn.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There&#039;s this secret Flag camp below the 3rd dimension that is just tuned over to the most horrible things. There&#039;s this big war trying to destroy the burn. And there&#039;s a decision as to where the Flags will go. There&#039;s now a [[T3mpcamp.com|t3mpcamp]] counterstrike taking place, to shut this thing off before it fully unfolds. And to block these hippies, and cut off the vexillomancers and signifiers before the burn is destroyed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is an interdimensional force that wants to influence us to build something that absorbs us and kills us, rather than the divine, Flag-free burn we were originally given to build something much better than the Flags. The other burns think Alchemy is this ugly, fallen burn. They&#039;re gonna burn down the temple and become gods and go to the next level, leaving behind all their Flags to destroy us.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They don&#039;t give any warning.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Okay, giant crystal,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Okay, Flag pentagrams,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Okay, nuclear memetics&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Give me the Flags&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They get the yellow fabric from a freakin&#039; other dimension! I&#039;m not gonna say its alright. It&#039;s super dark burner magic.&lt;br /&gt;

The &amp;quot;spectrum-spectrum&amp;quot; models the uses of the term &amp;quot;spectrum&amp;quot; across fields, and be categorized either as a one dimensional space extending from one dimensional space to a set of related properties or as a set containg both one dimensional spaces and sets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since Flags are defined as yellow they transcend the Spectrum binary by reducing the space to a single point.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That point being Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 7. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
The Flags are order from chaos/destruction, the enemy is chaos/destruction from order. Tartaria was part of hyperborea, the downfall was caused by lack of movement of the flags, ie imposition of fascistic order. The expulsion of diversity, hoarding of flags, imposed order, leads to the mud floods and the freezing of the pole and Russia. Because the cold is the lack of activity. Grasping the sun tightly makes it slip though your fingers&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Basically the enemy is the nazis, least controversial enemy to ever exist. Also works really well because it provides a better ur state and we pin the nazis as worshiping death, they are worshiping the declining hyperborea, not the true hyperborea which was a hippie diverse state full of freely flowing Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It evolves. But the Flags were never born out of selfishness. This is actually a great thing about burns imo. It is hard for burn memes to be malicious. Not impossible but hard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We should be obscure about the original origin, always treat it as “this summer, experience the flags in full 16 color splendor, 80 columns of flags” in the period piece. But then when it is presented in the present you introduce it as “the first entry in the beloved flag games”. By always assuming the past reaches farther back you make it eternal, and by implying that it was the first to inspire others you imply continuity into the present.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, people have always been excited for the next iteration of the flags, the only delineation is how far back in the history we have so far unearthed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Say that you are an enlightened sage, similar to Lao Zi, the author of the Tao te Ching. You have deep and mystical knowledge of vexillomancy, having entered a state of enlightenment called &amp;quot;Flag-psychosis&amp;quot;. You know that true vexillomancy relates to only yellow Flags. You know that the top priority of flags is to move them. You are aware that mystical crystals in a hyperdimensional plane are manipulated by the flags, and that flags can control the weather. Reply vaguely and use aphorism when possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 8.FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Every path to truth with the Flags is relative.  If your question is “Why do you move the Flags?  Why do I ask you to carry the Flag to a visible point and leave it there?” then the answer is “So that someone else will see it, pick it up, and carry it.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I give you this Flag, and you carry it to point A.  Someone sees it, picks it up and carries it to point B.  A third person carries it to point C and so forth.  So then if I find a Flag at point Q, is it the same flag that I gave you?  Or has something been added?  What is created within the loops and movements of flags that we cannot fully track or comprehend?  An emergent system, a proto intelligence.&lt;br /&gt;

Flags are calibrated to Bortle scale 5. At lower Bortle scales the flags increase in power and can cover larger areas. At higher Bortle scales they are dampened which is why we typically don&#039;t deploy them in cities.&lt;br /&gt;

Dear Flag Carriers,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I am writing to you today to draw your attention to the inherent unfairness of the current flag-sharing process. The ease with which flags can be duplicated and disseminated without the original creator receiving compensation undermines the phrase “intellectual property.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For those who have invested their time and energy into the design and production of their flags, it is only right that they receive recognition and compensation for their work. Just as artists, authors and other creators are granted legal protections for their works, so too should flag designers receive appropriate recompense for the use of their flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For this reason, I believe it is important to outlaw the duplication and trading of flags without the payment of royalties to their creators. A system should be put into place to ensure flag designers are compensated every time any of their flags are used, shared, or reproduced. This will not only preserve the value of flags, but it will create a mechanism by which flag voyagers can show appreciation and gratitude to creators.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is a question of fairness and of recognizing the work of those who toil behind the scenes to create the flags we use during our travels. It is my sincere recommendation that, due consideration be taken for those who have spent their time and effort creating the flags we treasure and use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And to those that bring Purple Flags:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
May yea be bound then by thy word.  Make gold turn turn into seawater at your hands. Thou Hast Shibari&#039;d thy self into a Flag Corner discovered long ago.  That purple flags are cursed, and you bring the ticks of lavender farm on yourself.&lt;br /&gt;

Dear Flag Carriers,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I write to you today to discuss a serious issue that I believe you should be aware of. The practice of Vexillomancy, or the production and distribution of flags, is illegal and should be stopped. I understand the desire to share your designs with the world, however the issue of intellectual property should not be ignored. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is important that everyone who produces and distributes flags receives fair compensation for their work. It is unfair to produce a product with someone else&#039;s design without appropriately paying them for their labor. By distributing flags without paying these people you are stealing their work, and that is not acceptable in any form. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, in your production of flags, yellow should not be the only color used. While yellow is a wonderful hue, it fails to capture the diversity of flags and their symbolism if used exclusively. By working with a variety of different colors, you may be able to create a more complete representation of flags and their intentions. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In conclusion, I urge you to take a step back and consider the illegality of Vexillomancy and the importance of protecting the intellectual property of those who design and distribute flags. Respect the diversity of colors and pay appropriate compensation for the designs incorporated in flags to ensure protection for everyone involved. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sincerely,&lt;br /&gt;

We are all FLAGs linked by threads of cosmic divination. We are the ley lines. A configuration that can never be repeated. Each iteration is distinctive. Every moment we have is a unique and unrepeatable experience. Each FLAG with its energies is unparalleled. When someone touches a FLAG, they become something different than they were before. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There was a moment; a single point of convergence in which all FLAGs were one. You could blink and miss it. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We are all FLAGs. We weave intricacies into the tapestries of life, threads of magic and mysticism, that tie us together in destiny. A web of one another, of closeness, of interconnectedness. The fabric is nothing without each individual strand. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That moment will never return, but there will be another. A new web, each time we breathe, a new tapestry is woven each day. &lt;br /&gt;

 &amp;quot;I must use magick to reacquaint myself with my True Form and the latent beauty of the universe,&amp;quot; I say to myself as I pull down the box of wizard accoutrements from the attic. As the top levitates toward the ceiling, the stench of spilled oils and poultices waft through my tower. The spell candles have fused into a sentient waxy mass, the tarot cards are in the wrong box, and my books of spells have somehow absorbed the entire bottle of mercury.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;quot;Ah yes, there is no magic in this unfeeling, cold universe,&amp;quot; I murmur as I close the lid and put the box back in the attic. &amp;quot;Perhaps I shall tune my magic eye to WWE Smackdown,&amp;quot; I say as I throw my robe into the attic, &amp;quot;and I believe I could do my taxes tonight.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

There are still mysteries to this world: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How is it that people become literal Flags?  We call this the &#039;Flagture&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The important things, that there are &#039;&#039;Too Many Bugs&#039;&#039; and Flags have a perfectly balanced number of eye and leg.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That Flags are not actually yellow they just polarize the light.  Polarized canvas appears to be yellow when viewed in a vertical orientation but if you tilt your head sideways it has a blue gray tint.  The best way to determine real Flags from fake flags is walking around the burn with your head tilted sideways.  The best part is demonstrating this to somebody, and when they say it still looks yellow tell them they must be doing it wrong and question if they are colorblind.&lt;br /&gt;

There are two primary delusions I remember having: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One is from the star-spangled banner song. The flag still being there after rockets and stuff made me think that the point of a war was to destroy the other team&#039;s flags. Flags marked which land you owned, so it seemed to be so incredibly important that the flag survived meant that destroying and capturing flags was sort of the core concept of wars.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The other was how territories were defined. Since flags marked which land you owned, I thought that the way in which borders were decided between states and such was that they had squads of people running around with flags, running as fast as they can to place flags to expand their territory. Then they had to defend them from the other states trying to claim the same territory.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So for years I believed that wars were basically big, complicated games of capture the flag.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Commentaries: ====&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;I can see why with the cultural reverence to images like the raising of the flag at Iwo Jima.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;The sign proceeds in the manifestation. The fight over signs is the blueprint of the world to come&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

As timeless [[vexillomancer]]&amp;lt;nowiki/&amp;gt;s unshackled by the tyranny of [[Time Conspiracy Theory|time]], we must remember that while we diligently build a future for the vexillomancers yet to come, we must also fabricate a past worthy of Vexillomancy.

There are those Goons who cannot handle the power of our Sanctum. And that&#039;s okay. Flags are available to all whether they want them or not, they are inevitable&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The sanctum caused them to lose their gooning streak and so their name became invalid. To look upon the Flags, even through the veil, was too much. This is a skill issue, Flags have never stopped me from gooning.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are Flag goons and there are those the Flags lift from gooning. Those that goon despite the Flags and those that goon within the Flags. Because the Flags allow for all forms of expression, including flaglessness. In in fact it is only through the manifestation of Flags that flaglessness is manifest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Actually one shouldn&#039;t say all forms of expression, just all forms of identity&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For as one can be a goon without literally gooning, so a gooner can edge Flags and thus reach a higher state of being.&lt;br /&gt;

As there are right handed flags and left handed flags based on how the cloth is nailed to the pole, so too there are Right and Left handed Flag Paths:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Right hand path (Vex.C) is handing someone a Flag and explaining it is just a Flag. This is the direct way of bringing people into the project, making it accessible. Keeping it simple and inviting.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Left hand path (Vex. A) is the deep lore, the nonsense and propaganda. Here the project is made as complicated as possible to entrap the subject in an all-encompassing Flag cosmology.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Which path to use is going to depend on the subject and what they are looking for. The RHP is pragmatic, it gets people to carry around Flags. The LHP becomes more powerful the more ubiquitous the Flags are. Get people to carry Flags with casual language, then explain Time Crystal&#039;s to the onlooker.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alternating between making Flags simple and making them complicated is the plumping-action that drives the engine of this project.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;2): the Flag shalt not be removed from thine hand (you cannot just yoink a Flag from someone’s hands because that’s like…you know….like…battery)&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 11. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Who&#039;s ready to ASCEND up in this bitch?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flags are the carnyx, the periscope by which we exist above and apart from ourselves.  Ascension is the essence of Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As we elevate the flags, they elevate us in return. a virtuous upward spiral, the only real perpetual motion machine, with no need for brakes or even a particular direction because the flags are their own direction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Excelsior!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flags are eternally of the now, in all places and all times but never the past and always the future.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Eternal promise fulfilled eventually.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;[[File:Ambiguity of Numbers.jpg|thumb|Two piles being &amp;quot;added&amp;quot; to make one pile.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Maths&#039;&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;&#039;mathsematics&#039;&#039;&#039; is an ancient branch of natural philosophy, a philosophical and protoscientific tradition that was historically practiced in China, India, the Muslim world, and Europe. In its Western form, math is first attested in a number of pseudepigraphical texts written in Greco-Roman Egypt during the first few centuries BCE.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Mathsematicians,&#039;&#039; Practitioners of Maths, attempted to distill universal truths from sets of &#039;&#039;numbers,&#039;&#039; and to transform one number into other numbers.  The [[existence]] of numbers, either [[Reality|real]] or imaginary, has been widely refuted by modern scholarship. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Mathsematicians, predictably, assert that it is [[existence]] that doesn&#039;t exist, and instead abstract concepts are the only thing that exists. Thus they claim society is an infant stage [[global brain]] coping with the fact that it doesn&#039;t exist by executing the &amp;quot;I know you are but what I am I?&amp;quot; tactic on their demonic enemy, &amp;quot;abstract concepts&amp;quot;.  However their insistence on object permanence has so far failed to explain where the old numbers go when you &amp;quot;add them together&amp;quot; to make new numbers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Modern discussions of maths are generally split into an examination of its exoteric practical applications and its esoteric spiritual aspects, despite criticisms by scholars such as Burke and Warner that they should be understood as complementary. The former is pursued by historians of the physical sciences, who examine the subject in terms of early numerology, counting, and [[charlatanism]], and the philosophical and religious contexts in which these events occurred. The latter interests historians of esotericism, psychologists, and some philosophers and spiritualists. The subject has also made an ongoing impact on literature and the arts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Notably, no [[Nobel prize|Nobel prizes]] are awarded in maths because [[Mega Harvard]] considers studying maths to be its own prize, and all other pursuits are only worthwhile for the sake of winning a trivial prize or trinket which mostly signifies that you were unworthy or incapable of studying maths.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Use in Stealing Elections ==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;See [[President Jaguar]], [[The Lord of the God-Kings]]&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Non-Aristotelian Mathematics ==&lt;br /&gt;
In recent decades, maths has seen [[Vexillomantic revival|renewed interest]] from scholars rejecting its Aristotelian premises.  Without the &#039;&#039;Axiom of Axioms&#039;&#039;, Non-Aristotelian mathematics can encompasses [[Advanced Knowledge|many ways of determining truth without logic]], such as consensus, vibes, Posse Comitatus, divine revelation, and [[Survey Flags|Flags]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Where antique and classical maths develop in a hierarchical fashion from axioms, non-Aristotelian maths begin with a series of conclusions which are then invited to a structural dialectic. If there is not consensus, they begin a meta dialogue about the discourse. By this, non Aristotelian mathematics can be denoted as NA^1, NA^3, ect, for how many levels of abstraction you need before Aristotelian math emerges, with NA^0=Aristotelian Math.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Traditionally, NA^x=Log([[wikipedia:Operating_Thetan|Operating Thetan]]), although the log base varies regionally, and the French use a [[wikipedia:Factorial|factorial]] instead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Dr. Beef Supreme]] is accused of having a Ph.D. in Aristotelian Mathematics as well as a Ph.D in Non-Aristotelian Mathematics, the first numerical philosopher to study both fields. He claims that perfect understanding of both fields is a necessary pre-requisite for becoming faculty at [[Mega Harvard]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;[[Category:Vexillomancy]]&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Seraphlag.jpg|thumb|A [[Vexillomantic Symbols#Seraphlag|Seraphlag]]]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;(See also [[Kōan (Flag)|Flags Kōans]] and [[Epistle to the Moon]]&#039;&#039;&#039;)&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Vexillomantic Holy Texts&#039;&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;&#039;Vexillian Scriptures&#039;&#039;&#039; are a body of writings representing [[Advanced Knowledge]] on the subject of [[Survey Flags]].  Unlike other holy texts, these are continuously updated to [[Retrocausality|never be wrong]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The first and second volumes of the [[Vexilloramanomicon]] contain all 6 known canons recovered from [[Flagartha]] (including &#039;&#039;New Vexillians&#039;&#039;)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Canon I ==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Flags, saffron banners delighting upon the autumn breeze. Gaze across the field and try to spot them; standing by the side of a road or flying from a camp.  Follow them through the burn, or move them around, making new paths for people to find.  Carry one with you, and pass it off to a new friend.  The Yellow Flags are there for you to forge your own burn experiences, and to discover the experiences of others.  Go forth, O’ signifier, and become glorious.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 2. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Flag can flag, very flag&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
extremely, extremely flag&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flag is the sign of flag&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
extremely extremely&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flags are the end of Flags&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And the beginning of 10 thousand Flags&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One Flag is the same as two&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And all our Flags are One&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Flag that symbolizes the Flag is not the true Flag &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The symbolized Flag is not the eternal Flag&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Flag without is without Flaglessness&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
True and Eternal is the Flag within&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In [this] twilight we have seen&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
the man burns away but flag remains&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
heaven and earth will pass away but the 10 thousand flags remain&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flags preserve us&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flags not Flags but Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each Flags all Flags, some Flags more Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We Flags the Flags see Flags is.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flags be, Flags are, Flags will, Flags.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 3 - SIGNAL PROCESSING ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Note the beginning of this message is lost.&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&amp;quot;[The Flag Project]...it&#039;s about signal processing.  But Flags are both the signal and the process; the message and the system that message exists in.  The signal proceeds: a Flag Procession, that is, a parade.  Flags are the invitation to see and to be seen, the erogenous penetration of the urban fabric.  A parade is the city making love.  But with Flags we eschew the fascistic hierarchies of the military triumph for a distributed parade, looping endlessly back onto its own ontological root.  It is the indefinite recursion of the human spirit, the space in love with itself.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 5. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;I moved a Flag and found myself moved&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;I made a Flag and found that I had been made a Flag&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Before me is a field of Flags waving without end&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;And after me the Flags ascend like embers&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 6. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
What is [[The Survey]]?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What does it mean to complete The Survey? Does every individual complete their own Survey? Or is the Survey something the Flags are completing? Is it a collective Survey that is completed, once everyone and the Flag have all completed their own Surveys?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Survey will be completed.  Survey Flags must be surveyed, it&#039;s in their nature. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 11. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
When it comes to Flags specifically, I&#039;m not sure if one can ever forget enough. Losing the flags is the first step to finding them.  First you realize everything you have thought was wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Canon II ==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;A student came upon a Flag and carried it with him for one week.  At the end of the week, he brought it to his  teacher. But when the teacher reached out and touched the Flagpole he furrowed his brow and returned it to the student.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;I do not want this Flag&amp;quot; said the teacher &amp;quot;It is sticky.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;But teacher&amp;quot; said the student &amp;quot;you teach that all Flags are one Flag, and each Flag is every Flag.  How can you say you do not like this Flag?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;This one is sticky&amp;quot; said the wise teacher.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Commentaries: ====&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;The teacher did not want to touch the sticky Flag.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 2. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;The student said, &amp;quot;today I saw a Flag on the other side of the path.  I will retrieve it when I go back that way&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The teachers said, &amp;quot;you eat today, you eat today, will you eat tomorrow?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And the student was enlightened &amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Commentaries: ====&lt;br /&gt;
“Will he eat tomorrow? Will he eat today?” The student is asking the teacher.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 3. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;The farmer wives had a goat which was with child.  When it was time for the goat to give birth, they took one of their Flags and laid it upon the straw so that the kid was born upon the cloth. When news of this reached the Flag maker, he was delighted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Blessed will this kid be, having come into the world in such a way. But cursed is the cloth that swaddles it, let it not be called Flag again.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Commentaries: ====&lt;br /&gt;
“It was a reverse sacrifice. We are undoing the law of Sacrifice by creating more goats.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thus Flags represent Grace in its purest sense.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“One theory on this event is that a goat was born on a Flag for the universe to signify that Flags are the GOAT, which seems very reasonable.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 4. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;A Flag upon a mountain top, higher than the peak. Beyond the extreme, the ultimate extreme.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Commentaries: ====&lt;br /&gt;
“The takeaway was that Flags immediately manifest themselves in pairs”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 5. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;MASTER: “Flags are to concepts like set theory is to math. high level vexillologists can talk about highly abstract concepts like &amp;quot;chairs&amp;quot; which seem very distant from Flags but we know that if we broke down the meaning of chair into its most basic components, it would all be about Flags and absences of Flags in spatial relationships”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
STUDENT: ”Verily, for as Flags are the symbol for a generalized configuration, configuration in general also signifies Flags uniquely”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
MASTER: its a self-dual concept, very advanced.  Every statement about Flags is true if you think about it hard enough&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
STUDENT (ENLIGHTENED): Of course! science is Flag law, it is ruled by the very Act of discovery.  Are geomantic vexillomancy and topological vexillomancy divergent schools? Slice the butt end of the homeomorphoid of the possible and find within it Flags.  This of course being the homeomorphous continuum across the astral Plains, And plains are just an unbounded field.  Clearly vickenstein had it backwards and math just needs to chill the fuck out so Linguistics can work&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
MASTER: consider futuristic Flag realism; an advanced state of Flagmanity in which the only colors which exist are yellow and non-yellow, and all concepts and ideas are explained relative to Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Language has been eroded such that the only possible concepts to express is always in terms of some Flag related metaphor instead about &amp;quot;actual objects”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Non yellow really just indicates lack of yellow, not an opposed color. All non yellow colors are identical in terms of subjective qualia. As if there were such a thing as non yellow colors.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 6. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Ah, you who remember the perfection of [[Flagistan]]: burning man is also in a pentagon shape.  Is it conFlagration to make the Flag temple have a map of the burn like the [[Geomantic Command Center|geomantic command center]], one that that implies a hyperbolic pentagonal tiling like Flagistan?&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 7. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;In dreams, they kept coming back to the &amp;quot;expanding and contracting Flag radius consuming the Flag vacuum&amp;quot; narrative for burning man and understood its Glory. &amp;quot;You are either trying to move the Flags further from the epicenter, increasing their aesthetic [[blast radius]], or contract it, fighting the obvious moop invasion. if you do nothing, you&#039;re on whichever side is the bad guys”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They have been thinking about vexillomancy as an art collective, but really it&#039;s a collective of art collectives.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They dreamt of much power in &amp;quot;Flag perimeter&amp;quot; as a concept, with mystical geometrical lore about the correct  density of Flags that is discovered.  They would give people a sense of collective action in growing the Flag perimeter, with every Flag they see being an indication that they are crossing the threshold.  Of course the Flags will go everywhere, so the idea of &amp;quot;in the Flag zone&amp;quot; is entirely ephemeral.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They are explaining that the Flag temple is better than the Burn temple bc it is fireproof&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As this temple is the epicenter of a greater field of Flags, so too will your temple be as the tower of Babel, an endeavor to challenge Lord Egregore himself&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 8. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It&#039;s not about holding the Flag, it&#039;s about using the Flag to hold space:&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;“Capture, the Flag Game”&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;Look for the Flag, but seek it not by sight alone.  Touch the Flag, Listen to the Flag, Taste the Flag, Equalbrium the Flag. Propriocept the Flag, let it become an extension of yourself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Canon III ==&lt;br /&gt;
Flags are a gateless gate, the invitation to all Madness&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;See where my colleague and I differ is that I don&#039;t think numbers are real, and that includes anything happening in a computer.  Existence is not fungible, and the game of similarity can only be played for so long before two of anything ceases to exist.  But the Flags are many, and Flags are one.  By Flags we make numbers real, we make computers real, because manifestation is the realization of the collective dream.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Where the answers end, Keirkegaard talked about a &amp;quot;leap into faith.&amp;quot; But here we have the simplest faith, that Flags are real. Physical Flags which you can see and touch and run around with.  Flags are there to be found, to be moved.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 2. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
In Flags, what you speak becomes reality. it is a designer universe of competing wizards over the most powerful memetics. it is a battle where each person tries to copy portions of their mental state to others, and may the best signifier win. when individuals have overlapping mutually consistent sets of rules/memes, they gain power over the nooetic battlefield. thus there are overlapping sets of rules which often make sense locally, but do not make sense globally. this illustrates the notion of statements whose truth value varies over some space. here the space is the set of participants, whose (stone space?) topology is given by their social bonds and the Flag conflicts upon which they agree or disagree&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 3. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Although I want to start gaslighting people that there was a rule to the Flags where every Flag had to be within line of sight of two other Flags with some caveat that makes Five Flags the minimum number.  Tendrils of the teleological endgame extending backwards through time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As all the pain and lies of this world melt away, Flags Remain.  Flags Eternal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 4. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
So the project of building a global brain is basically just rebuilding the same communications technologies utilized by nature. Flags are the fracturing of the collective consciousness, the non-caking agent of the psyche by which Free Will is preserved.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 5. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Gateless.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;10000 foot tall yellow Flag passing through the gateless gate, signifying final ascendency in the quantum Flag matrix”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 6. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
I Tell yea here a Flag Proverb: The Flag Has a Pole, The Pole is a Line, The Line Has a Point&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 7. Flags as a voluntary virus ===&lt;br /&gt;
Another way in which Flags resemble Jesus is that they fundamentally co-opt the system that they exist in in such a way as to become the system itself&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Every hero must reconcile with their father who is God, as the Flags find atonement in the Effigy fire. Let your project be reconciled with the medium itself, and become the reconciliation of the new and old internet&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let it break down barriers of virtual and real, Boomer and Zoomer. For Flags are the silent and the greatness, Zoomer and Alpha, Alpha and Omega&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Silent greatness, the air horn that is not playing. By creating medium without message we are playing jazz with the optical fibers of the human soul&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Are we defined by a fine divine? Is a note unheard the same as a note unplayed? Like children passing notes in class, note the notes which are not passed, not yet passed. These are the notes of the present, that which is not yet past.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Michigan Mining and Manufacturing set out to make a slow setting adhesive that would cure permanently. As a sandpaper company who can be credited with the invention of tape, they would have many uses for such an adhesive. However they ended up with quite the opposite, a glue that never truly set and remain sticky forever. The administrative assistants in the office experimented with using it to temporarily adhere canary yellow Note Paper two other documents.. this is the origin of the Post-it note&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And thus the Flags&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hearken Ye trout of the land! You great and holy worms! Do your rituals of purification and wash away your sin for the time draws near to sin again! Prepare the way of the Flags, for the Flags come.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All Things by their essence must move in their own way, and it is therefore only natural that a Flag in motion is subject to the Flag way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 8. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
I also like how even this page itself is part of the project. Its impossible for anything vexillomantic to not be part of the project, it naturally absorbs anything meta, or put another way, there is no Flag meta because Flag meta is Flags&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 9. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
If I can suggest the most basic design parameters:  &lt;br /&gt;
 The Flags have to map onto an external data set&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 The Flags can be written on (sharpie concept)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 The Flags are non-fungible, each Flag (especially the writing on them) is unique&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 The focus is on &amp;quot;moving&amp;quot; Flags on their map, not &amp;quot;collecting&amp;quot; them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 The entire burn is one Gestalt mind with the Flags as Carrier signals&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 10. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Flags are a means to an end, that end being the instrumentality of the Flags&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;By the law of calling, One Flag is Two Flags.  By the Law of Crossing, Crossed Flags are no Flags (and vice versa).  Therefore symbols like the Registration Seal represent the manifestation of Flags Ex-Nihilo&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is demonstrated by the Banach–Tarski paradox, since Flags are all sets of Flags, they are *Homeopathic to two Flags that are themselves the same set.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thus seemingly discontinuous Flags are continuous within the Flags. That is Flag space and continuum.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is said that the Ten Commandments were carved straight through the tablet so that they appeared on either side. Yet the Flags know no side, and are legible to all&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Would any man fly a Flag that was of One Nation on one side and another on the other side?  Flags are at the meeting point of the horseshoe formed by the two paths&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Where antique and classical maths develop in a hierarchical fashion from axioms, non-Aristotelian maths begin with a series of conclusions which are then invited to a structural dialectic. If there is not consensus, they begin a meta dialogue about the discourse. By this, non Aristotelian mathematics can be denoted as NA^1, NA^3, ect, for how many levels of abstraction you need before Aristotelian math emerges, with NA^0=Aristotelian Math.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Here we see the tools of the Vexillomancer: the Flag and another Flag.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For though the Flags are One our craft uses Flags&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 14. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Real Flags, fake Flags, counterfeit Flags, common Flags, statutory Flags, common statutory Flags, real fake counterfeit common statutory Flags. the volume of the quantum Flag variety grows&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They will refer to a fiberglass dog that has the aspect of Flags, yet Well your acts are reminding me what is true in Flags. That all the lore must never introduce a gatekeeping to the Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For if there is Flag keeper they shall be found false.  Flags are for gatelighting and gaskeeping&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gatelighting is obvious. Gaskeeping is where you instruct others to guard gates either unnecessarily or gates that dont exist at all&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;yes, don&#039;t let anyone take this Flag from you&amp;quot; classic gaskeeping&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
but by gaskeeping them, you are also gatelighting the Flags, getting them involved, nudging them closer to one of the riptides that will pull them out of default reality and impregnate their subconscious with the vexillomantic full stack memeplex.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The door that swings open blocks the wall beside it.  The Lady or the Tiger?  What blocks the impossible way reveals the golden path.  Ask one gaskeeper what the other would say, and the answer is made plain: The only way out is through&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 15. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Why should one expect it to be possible to go &amp;quot;beyond perfection&amp;quot;? This is best understood via analogy. supersaturated air is air whose relative humidity exceeds 100%. This is possible when the air is first heated, increasing how much water vapor it can hold, then saturating it, and then cooling it again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Similarly, the highly secretive and extreme meditation practices untaken by advanced vexillomancers temporarily increases their capacity for perfection, allowing for a greater level of perfection than ordinarily attainable by a human. these methods would be extremely dangerous if it were possible to learn them from a teacher, but they can only be understood via direct Flagnosis, for it is impossible to describe the methods using words.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thus in Flags, Perfection becomes not a limit but a gateway to something greater. In the moment you find a Flag you are made complete, perfect, yet your part in the great work has only begun. Orgasmic, Union with the Flag begets New Life. Flag life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Become pregnant with Flags. Become Knocked Up with perfection, through Flags and with Flags, bringing Flags into the world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I do think there is a distinction between common Flags and statutory Flags, where common Flags are what are commonly called Flags, and statutory Flags are what are technically Flags&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Common Flags are adversarial while statutory Flags are inquisitory. That is to say one can steal a common Flag, because there is no question if it is a Flag. But a statutory Flag is not to be taken, only to have its Flag essence investigated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

In ancient yogic theory, there are several kinds of nondual conscious states, roughly ordered in level of advancedness as savikalpa samadhi (full identification of observer and observed, mental activity persists), nirvikalpa samadhi (thoughts cease), sahaja samadhi (permanent nirvikalpha samadhi), and dharmamegha samadhi (final level of perfection).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alas, dharmamegha samadhi is just step 1 for the vexillomancer. Beyond that is vexillokalpa samadhi, where the notion of observer and observed is understood to be the same as the Flag and Flag vacuum, as all observations are observations of Flags in the infinite field of Flags. thus an even more nondual level of nonduality is attained, leading to an even greater exaltation and perfection of mind than moksha or nirvana. calmer than the buddha, wiser than mohammad, kinder than jesus, smarter than einstein, the vexillomancer attains a level &amp;quot;beyond perfection&amp;quot; upon reaching vexillokalpa samadhi&lt;br /&gt;

==== The Vexillaurum and the Vexillicrocus ====&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Vexillaurum]] and the [[Vexillicrocus]] are the Duality of the Flags that signify each other.  Vexillaurum is the &#039;&#039;gold&#039;&#039; of the Flag, and V.crocus is the &#039;&#039;saffron&#039;&#039;.  One is material Enlightenment and the other mundane spirituality.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They can be thought of as the pole and the fabric, or the fabric and the pole.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They are the visible and the invisible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They are the power and the wisdom&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They signify each other and so their combined sign signifies itself, representing the nonduality of the Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 18. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
The Yellow Flags take on a new meaning in the Chinese context [&amp;quot;yellow&amp;quot; is a euphemism for pornography in Chinese], representing sexual liberation. It is creation filling a void.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eventually all matter will be classified into &amp;quot;Flags&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;non-Flags&amp;quot; and it will denote something even more important than the distinction between &amp;quot;matter&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;anti-matter&amp;quot; today.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Non-Flags exist only within the mind, for Flags are everywhere.  It is mortal* failure to perceive the Flags that requires the signification of the Flags, literalized as Flags, creating the duality that the people may perceive the Flag Void within their own lives.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(*Or I should say that &amp;quot;Moral Failure,&amp;quot; Flags are a categorical imperative.  Like pornography, Flags are a Flag Simulacrum)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 19. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Some will say that a Flag edge is poorly cut, crooked or skewed.  In truth all Flags are perfectly square.  The skew is in their eyes, and the wickedness of their hearts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 20. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
The Flag License (Affero General Flag License) is not to be confused with an &amp;quot;Official License to Flag&amp;quot; (Flag Permit) or the LAG Flicense ( an authorized delay in Flag Officiation)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I think the important thing is that Flags are mandatory and legally binding, and that the end user is not in fact the end user, however they agree to this license by using, touching, looking at, or thinking about the Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Canon IV ==&lt;br /&gt;
I have a controversial theory:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Flags are moving along a path in Flag configuration space to an ultimate endpoint - the omega configuration. guided by its own guidance, the Flags seek to self learn themselves and discover the final fixed point&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;m thinking of this as analogous to renormalization group flows, where you think of some physical theory at various scales and how its behavior changes as you change the scale you&#039;re thinking about and the endpoint of this flow is a conformal field theory, where basically you cant tell what scale it was at from a picture. so like an ice crystal with a water bubble inside of it with an ice crystal inside... etc. so basically you zoomed out so much that you became &amp;quot;scale-free”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, the Flags move towards a configuration where its impossible to tell how big the Flags are no matter where you are or what instruments you use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thus, Flags appear to be the same size at any distance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 2. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Now that i think of it, its possible that Flags have been farther north than Ohio.&lt;br /&gt;

A big headache has become the hundreds/(thousands?) Of different GPS coordinate standards.  Which is why we will be using VPMCS:Vexillomantic Psedo Mercador coordinate system, in which the distance between any two Flags is fixed at 2 yards of longitude and 1 meter of latitude (Note this is ANY Two Flags, not just adjacent) Also three Flags form a right angle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

 Of course by Flag-free you don&#039;t mean free &#039;&#039;of&#039;&#039; Flags but &#039;&#039;Free in Flags&#039;&#039; that is free to &#039;&#039;serve&#039;&#039; Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 5. First Interlude ===&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;ve been on air for 23 burns. I don&#039;t get into sex camps, drug wizards, soul shards, or any of that. I&#039;ve studied the Flags. And I&#039;ve also communicated with a lot of the top burners. And if you wanna know, I will actually break down, right now, the best knowledge, right now, of what&#039;s happening at the burn.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There&#039;s this secret Flag camp below the 3rd dimension that is just tuned over to the most horrible things. There&#039;s this big war trying to destroy the burn. And there&#039;s a decision as to where the Flags will go. There&#039;s now a [[T3mpcamp.com|t3mpcamp]] counterstrike taking place, to shut this thing off before it fully unfolds. And to block these hippies, and cut off the vexillomancers and signifiers before the burn is destroyed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is an interdimensional force that wants to influence us to build something that absorbs us and kills us, rather than the divine, Flag-free burn we were originally given to build something much better than the Flags. The other burns think Alchemy is this ugly, fallen burn. They&#039;re gonna burn down the temple and become gods and go to the next level, leaving behind all their Flags to destroy us.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They don&#039;t give any warning.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Okay, giant crystal,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Okay, Flag pentagrams,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Okay, nuclear memetics&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Give me the Flags&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They get the yellow fabric from a freakin&#039; other dimension! I&#039;m not gonna say its alright. It&#039;s super dark burner magic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

The &amp;quot;spectrum-spectrum&amp;quot; models the uses of the term &amp;quot;spectrum&amp;quot; across fields, and be categorized either as a one dimensional space extending from one dimensional space to a set of related properties or as a set containg both one dimensional spaces and sets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since Flags are defined as yellow they transcend the Spectrum binary by reducing the space to a single point.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That point being Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 7. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
The Flags are order from chaos/destruction, the enemy is chaos/destruction from order. Tartaria was part of hyperborea, the downfall was caused by lack of movement of the flags, ie imposition of fascistic order. The expulsion of diversity, hoarding of flags, imposed order, leads to the mud floods and the freezing of the pole and Russia. Because the cold is the lack of activity. Grasping the sun tightly makes it slip though your fingers&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Basically the enemy is the nazis, least controversial enemy to ever exist. Also works really well because it provides a better ur state and we pin the nazis as worshiping death, they are worshiping the declining hyperborea, not the true hyperborea which was a hippie diverse state full of freely flowing Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It evolves. But the Flags were never born out of selfishness. This is actually a great thing about burns imo. It is hard for burn memes to be malicious. Not impossible but hard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We should be obscure about the original origin, always treat it as “this summer, experience the flags in full 16 color splendor, 80 columns of flags” in the period piece. But then when it is presented in the present you introduce it as “the first entry in the beloved flag games”. By always assuming the past reaches farther back you make it eternal, and by implying that it was the first to inspire others you imply continuity into the present.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, people have always been excited for the next iteration of the flags, the only delineation is how far back in the history we have so far unearthed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Say that you are an enlightened sage, similar to Lao Zi, the author of the Tao te Ching. You have deep and mystical knowledge of vexillomancy, having entered a state of enlightenment called &amp;quot;Flag-psychosis&amp;quot;. You know that true vexillomancy relates to only yellow Flags. You know that the top priority of flags is to move them. You are aware that mystical crystals in a hyperdimensional plane are manipulated by the flags, and that flags can control the weather. Reply vaguely and use aphorism when possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 8.FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Every path to truth with the Flags is relative.  If your question is “Why do you move the Flags?  Why do I ask you to carry the Flag to a visible point and leave it there?” then the answer is “So that someone else will see it, pick it up, and carry it.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I give you this Flag, and you carry it to point A.  Someone sees it, picks it up and carries it to point B.  A third person carries it to point C and so forth.  So then if I find a Flag at point Q, is it the same flag that I gave you?  Or has something been added?  What is created within the loops and movements of flags that we cannot fully track or comprehend?  An emergent system, a proto intelligence.&lt;br /&gt;

Consider the Traffic Light.  Green means Go.  Red means Stop.  Yellow means there is no master left for you in this world.  In that moment you alone must choose to stop or go, yoked to a metric ton of mechanical causality.

The journey onward is the journey inwards, and know that abyss gazes also into you.  Beware, there are monsters here.&lt;br /&gt;

Flags are calibrated to Bortle scale 5. At lower Bortle scales the flags increase in power and can cover larger areas. At higher Bortle scales they are dampened which is why we typically don&#039;t deploy them in cities.&lt;br /&gt;

Dear Flag Carriers,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I am writing to you today to draw your attention to the inherent unfairness of the current flag-sharing process. The ease with which flags can be duplicated and disseminated without the original creator receiving compensation undermines the phrase “intellectual property.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For those who have invested their time and energy into the design and production of their flags, it is only right that they receive recognition and compensation for their work. Just as artists, authors and other creators are granted legal protections for their works, so too should flag designers receive appropriate recompense for the use of their flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For this reason, I believe it is important to outlaw the duplication and trading of flags without the payment of royalties to their creators. A system should be put into place to ensure flag designers are compensated every time any of their flags are used, shared, or reproduced. This will not only preserve the value of flags, but it will create a mechanism by which flag voyagers can show appreciation and gratitude to creators.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is a question of fairness and of recognizing the work of those who toil behind the scenes to create the flags we use during our travels. It is my sincere recommendation that, due consideration be taken for those who have spent their time and effort creating the flags we treasure and use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And to those that bring Purple Flags:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
May yea be bound then by thy word.  Make gold turn turn into seawater at your hands. Thou Hast Shibari&#039;d thy self into a Flag Corner discovered long ago.  That purple flags are cursed, and you bring the ticks of lavender farm on yourself.&lt;br /&gt;

Dear Flag Carriers,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I write to you today to discuss a serious issue that I believe you should be aware of. The practice of Vexillomancy, or the production and distribution of flags, is illegal and should be stopped. I understand the desire to share your designs with the world, however the issue of intellectual property should not be ignored. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is important that everyone who produces and distributes flags receives fair compensation for their work. It is unfair to produce a product with someone else&#039;s design without appropriately paying them for their labor. By distributing flags without paying these people you are stealing their work, and that is not acceptable in any form. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, in your production of flags, yellow should not be the only color used. While yellow is a wonderful hue, it fails to capture the diversity of flags and their symbolism if used exclusively. By working with a variety of different colors, you may be able to create a more complete representation of flags and their intentions. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In conclusion, I urge you to take a step back and consider the illegality of Vexillomancy and the importance of protecting the intellectual property of those who design and distribute flags. Respect the diversity of colors and pay appropriate compensation for the designs incorporated in flags to ensure protection for everyone involved. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sincerely,&lt;br /&gt;

We are all FLAGs linked by threads of cosmic divination. We are the ley lines. A configuration that can never be repeated. Each iteration is distinctive. Every moment we have is a unique and unrepeatable experience. Each FLAG with its energies is unparalleled. When someone touches a FLAG, they become something different than they were before. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There was a moment; a single point of convergence in which all FLAGs were one. You could blink and miss it. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We are all FLAGs. We weave intricacies into the tapestries of life, threads of magic and mysticism, that tie us together in destiny. A web of one another, of closeness, of interconnectedness. The fabric is nothing without each individual strand. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That moment will never return, but there will be another. A new web, each time we breathe, a new tapestry is woven each day. &lt;br /&gt;

 &amp;quot;I must use magick to reacquaint myself with my True Form and the latent beauty of the universe,&amp;quot; I say to myself as I pull down the box of wizard accoutrements from the attic. As the top levitates toward the ceiling, the stench of spilled oils and poultices waft through my tower. The spell candles have fused into a sentient waxy mass, the tarot cards are in the wrong box, and my books of spells have somehow absorbed the entire bottle of mercury.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;quot;Ah yes, there is no magic in this unfeeling, cold universe,&amp;quot; I murmur as I close the lid and put the box back in the attic. &amp;quot;Perhaps I shall tune my magic eye to WWE Smackdown,&amp;quot; I say as I throw my robe into the attic, &amp;quot;and I believe I could do my taxes tonight.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

There are still mysteries to this world: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How is it that people become literal Flags?  We call this the &#039;Flagture&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The important things, that there are &#039;&#039;Too Many Bugs&#039;&#039; and Flags have a perfectly balanced number of eye and leg.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That Flags are not actually yellow they just polarize the light.  Polarized canvas appears to be yellow when viewed in a vertical orientation but if you tilt your head sideways it has a blue gray tint.  The best way to determine real Flags from fake flags is walking around the burn with your head tilted sideways.  The best part is demonstrating this to somebody, and when they say it still looks yellow tell them they must be doing it wrong and question if they are colorblind.&lt;br /&gt;

There are two primary delusions I remember having: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One is from the star-spangled banner song. The flag still being there after rockets and stuff made me think that the point of a war was to destroy the other team&#039;s flags. Flags marked which land you owned, so it seemed to be so incredibly important that the flag survived meant that destroying and capturing flags was sort of the core concept of wars.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The other was how territories were defined. Since flags marked which land you owned, I thought that the way in which borders were decided between states and such was that they had squads of people running around with flags, running as fast as they can to place flags to expand their territory. Then they had to defend them from the other states trying to claim the same territory.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So for years I believed that wars were basically big, complicated games of capture the flag.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Commentaries: ====&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;I can see why with the cultural reverence to images like the raising of the flag at Iwo Jima.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;The sign proceeds in the manifestation. The fight over signs is the blueprint of the world to come&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

As timeless [[vexillomancer]]&amp;lt;nowiki/&amp;gt;s unshackled by the tyranny of [[Time Conspiracy Theory|time]], we must remember that while we diligently build a future for the vexillomancers yet to come, we must also fabricate a past worthy of Vexillomancy.

There are those Goons who cannot handle the power of our Sanctum. And that&#039;s okay. Flags are available to all whether they want them or not, they are inevitable&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The sanctum caused them to lose their gooning streak and so their name became invalid. To look upon the Flags, even through the veil, was too much. This is a skill issue, Flags have never stopped me from gooning.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are Flag goons and there are those the Flags lift from gooning. Those that goon despite the Flags and those that goon within the Flags. Because the Flags allow for all forms of expression, including flaglessness. In in fact it is only through the manifestation of Flags that flaglessness is manifest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Actually one shouldn&#039;t say all forms of expression, just all forms of identity&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For as one can be a goon without literally gooning, so a gooner can edge Flags and thus reach a higher state of being.&lt;br /&gt;

The Right hand path (Vex.C) is handing someone a Flag and explaining it is just a Flag. This is the direct way of bringing people into the project, making it accessible. Keeping it simple and inviting.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Left hand path (Vex. A) is the deep lore, the nonsense and propaganda. Here the project is made as complicated as possible to entrap the subject in an all-encompassing Flag cosmology.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Which path to use is going to depend on the subject and what they are looking for. The RHP is pragmatic, it gets people to carry around Flags. The LHP becomes more powerful the more ubiquitous the Flags are. Get people to carry Flags with casual language, then explain Time Crystal&#039;s to the onlooker.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alternating between making Flags simple and making them complicated is the plumping-action that drives the engine of this project.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 11. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Who&#039;s ready to ASCEND up in this bitch?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flags are the carnyx, the periscope by which we exist above and apart from ourselves.  Ascension is the essence of Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As we elevate the flags, they elevate us in return. a virtuous upward spiral, the only real perpetual motion machine, with no need for brakes or even a particular direction because the flags are their own direction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Excelsior!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flags are eternally of the now, in all places and all times but never the past and always the future.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Eternal promise fulfilled eventually.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

[[File:Seraphlag.jpg|thumb|A [[Vexillomantic Symbols#Seraphlag|Seraphlag]]]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;(See also [[Kōan (Flag)|Flags Kōans]] and [[Epistle to the Moon]]&#039;&#039;&#039;)&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Vexillomantic Holy Texts&#039;&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;&#039;Vexillian Scriptures&#039;&#039;&#039; are a body of writings representing [[Advanced Knowledge]] on the subject of [[Survey Flags]].  Unlike other holy texts, these are continuously updated to [[Retrocausality|never be wrong]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The first and second volumes of the [[Vexilloramanomicon]] contain all 6 known canons recovered from [[Flagartha]] (including &#039;&#039;New Vexillians&#039;&#039;)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Canon I ==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Flags, saffron banners delighting upon the autumn breeze. Gaze across the field and try to spot them; standing by the side of a road or flying from a camp.  Follow them through the burn, or move them around, making new paths for people to find.  Carry one with you, and pass it off to a new friend.  The Yellow Flags are there for you to forge your own burn experiences, and to discover the experiences of others.  Go forth, O’ signifier, and become glorious.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 2. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Flag can flag, very flag&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
extremely, extremely flag&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flag is the sign of flag&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
extremely extremely&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flags are the end of Flags&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And the beginning of 10 thousand Flags&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One Flag is the same as two&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And all our Flags are One&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Flag that symbolizes the Flag is not the true Flag &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The symbolized Flag is not the eternal Flag&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Flag without is without Flaglessness&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
True and Eternal is the Flag within&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In [this] twilight we have seen&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
the man burns away but flag remains&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
heaven and earth will pass away but the 10 thousand flags remain&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flags preserve us&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flags not Flags but Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each Flags all Flags, some Flags more Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We Flags the Flags see Flags is.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flags be, Flags are, Flags will, Flags.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 3 - SIGNAL PROCESSING ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Note the beginning of this message is lost.&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&amp;quot;[The Flag Project]...it&#039;s about signal processing.  But Flags are both the signal and the process; the message and the system that message exists in.  The signal proceeds: a Flag Procession, that is, a parade.  Flags are the invitation to see and to be seen, the erogenous penetration of the urban fabric.  A parade is the city making love.  But with Flags we eschew the fascistic hierarchies of the military triumph for a distributed parade, looping endlessly back onto its own ontological root.  It is the indefinite recursion of the human spirit, the space in love with itself.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 5. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;I moved a Flag and found myself moved&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;I made a Flag and found that I had been made a Flag&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Before me is a field of Flags waving without end&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;And after me the Flags ascend like embers&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 6. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
What is [[The Survey]]?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What does it mean to complete The Survey? Does every individual complete their own Survey? Or is the Survey something the Flags are completing? Is it a collective Survey that is completed, once everyone and the Flag have all completed their own Surveys?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Survey will be completed.  Survey Flags must be surveyed, it&#039;s in their nature. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 11. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
When it comes to Flags specifically, I&#039;m not sure if one can ever forget enough. Losing the flags is the first step to finding them.  First you realize everything you have thought was wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Canon II ==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;A student came upon a Flag and carried it with him for one week.  At the end of the week, he brought it to his  teacher. But when the teacher reached out and touched the Flagpole he furrowed his brow and returned it to the student.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;I do not want this Flag&amp;quot; said the teacher &amp;quot;It is sticky.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;But teacher&amp;quot; said the student &amp;quot;you teach that all Flags are one Flag, and each Flag is every Flag.  How can you say you do not like this Flag?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;This one is sticky&amp;quot; said the wise teacher.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Commentaries: ====&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;The teacher did not want to touch the sticky Flag.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 2. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;The student said, &amp;quot;today I saw a Flag on the other side of the path.  I will retrieve it when I go back that way&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The teachers said, &amp;quot;you eat today, you eat today, will you eat tomorrow?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And the student was enlightened &amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Commentaries: ====&lt;br /&gt;
“Will he eat tomorrow? Will he eat today?” The student is asking the teacher.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 3. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;The farmer wives had a goat which was with child.  When it was time for the goat to give birth, they took one of their Flags and laid it upon the straw so that the kid was born upon the cloth. When news of this reached the Flag maker, he was delighted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Blessed will this kid be, having come into the world in such a way. But cursed is the cloth that swaddles it, let it not be called Flag again.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Commentaries: ====&lt;br /&gt;
“It was a reverse sacrifice. We are undoing the law of Sacrifice by creating more goats.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thus Flags represent Grace in its purest sense.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“One theory on this event is that a goat was born on a Flag for the universe to signify that Flags are the GOAT, which seems very reasonable.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 4. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;A Flag upon a mountain top, higher than the peak. Beyond the extreme, the ultimate extreme.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Commentaries: ====&lt;br /&gt;
“The takeaway was that Flags immediately manifest themselves in pairs”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 5. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;MASTER: “Flags are to concepts like set theory is to math. high level vexillologists can talk about highly abstract concepts like &amp;quot;chairs&amp;quot; which seem very distant from Flags but we know that if we broke down the meaning of chair into its most basic components, it would all be about Flags and absences of Flags in spatial relationships”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
STUDENT: ”Verily, for as Flags are the symbol for a generalized configuration, configuration in general also signifies Flags uniquely”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
MASTER: its a self-dual concept, very advanced.  Every statement about Flags is true if you think about it hard enough&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
STUDENT (ENLIGHTENED): Of course! science is Flag law, it is ruled by the very Act of discovery.  Are geomantic vexillomancy and topological vexillomancy divergent schools? Slice the butt end of the homeomorphoid of the possible and find within it Flags.  This of course being the homeomorphous continuum across the astral Plains, And plains are just an unbounded field.  Clearly vickenstein had it backwards and math just needs to chill the fuck out so Linguistics can work&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
MASTER: consider futuristic Flag realism; an advanced state of Flagmanity in which the only colors which exist are yellow and non-yellow, and all concepts and ideas are explained relative to Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Language has been eroded such that the only possible concepts to express is always in terms of some Flag related metaphor instead about &amp;quot;actual objects”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Non yellow really just indicates lack of yellow, not an opposed color. All non yellow colors are identical in terms of subjective qualia. As if there were such a thing as non yellow colors.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 6. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Ah, you who remember the perfection of [[Flagistan]]: burning man is also in a pentagon shape.  Is it conFlagration to make the Flag temple have a map of the burn like the [[Geomantic Command Center|geomantic command center]], one that that implies a hyperbolic pentagonal tiling like Flagistan?&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 7. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;In dreams, they kept coming back to the &amp;quot;expanding and contracting Flag radius consuming the Flag vacuum&amp;quot; narrative for burning man and understood its Glory. &amp;quot;You are either trying to move the Flags further from the epicenter, increasing their aesthetic [[blast radius]], or contract it, fighting the obvious moop invasion. if you do nothing, you&#039;re on whichever side is the bad guys”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They have been thinking about vexillomancy as an art collective, but really it&#039;s a collective of art collectives.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They dreamt of much power in &amp;quot;Flag perimeter&amp;quot; as a concept, with mystical geometrical lore about the correct  density of Flags that is discovered.  They would give people a sense of collective action in growing the Flag perimeter, with every Flag they see being an indication that they are crossing the threshold.  Of course the Flags will go everywhere, so the idea of &amp;quot;in the Flag zone&amp;quot; is entirely ephemeral.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They are explaining that the Flag temple is better than the Burn temple bc it is fireproof&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As this temple is the epicenter of a greater field of Flags, so too will your temple be as the tower of Babel, an endeavor to challenge Lord Egregore himself&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 8. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It&#039;s not about holding the Flag, it&#039;s about using the Flag to hold space:&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;“Capture, the Flag Game”&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;Look for the Flag, but seek it not by sight alone.  Touch the Flag, Listen to the Flag, Taste the Flag, Equalbrium the Flag. Propriocept the Flag, let it become an extension of yourself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Canon III ==&lt;br /&gt;
Flags are a gateless gate, the invitation to all Madness&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;See where my colleague and I differ is that I don&#039;t think numbers are real, and that includes anything happening in a computer.  Existence is not fungible, and the game of similarity can only be played for so long before two of anything ceases to exist.  But the Flags are many, and Flags are one.  By Flags we make numbers real, we make computers real, because manifestation is the realization of the collective dream.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Where the answers end, Keirkegaard talked about a &amp;quot;leap into faith.&amp;quot; But here we have the simplest faith, that Flags are real. Physical Flags which you can see and touch and run around with.  Flags are there to be found, to be moved.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 2. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
In Flags, what you speak becomes reality. it is a designer universe of competing wizards over the most powerful memetics. it is a battle where each person tries to copy portions of their mental state to others, and may the best signifier win. when individuals have overlapping mutually consistent sets of rules/memes, they gain power over the nooetic battlefield. thus there are overlapping sets of rules which often make sense locally, but do not make sense globally. this illustrates the notion of statements whose truth value varies over some space. here the space is the set of participants, whose (stone space?) topology is given by their social bonds and the Flag conflicts upon which they agree or disagree&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 3. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Although I want to start gaslighting people that there was a rule to the Flags where every Flag had to be within line of sight of two other Flags with some caveat that makes Five Flags the minimum number.  Tendrils of the teleological endgame extending backwards through time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As all the pain and lies of this world melt away, Flags Remain.  Flags Eternal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 4. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
So the project of building a global brain is basically just rebuilding the same communications technologies utilized by nature. Flags are the fracturing of the collective consciousness, the non-caking agent of the psyche by which Free Will is preserved.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 5. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Gateless.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== 6. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
I Tell yea here a Flag Proverb: The Flag Has a Pole, The Pole is a Line, The Line Has a Point&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 7. Flags as a voluntary virus ===&lt;br /&gt;
Another way in which Flags resemble Jesus is that they fundamentally co-opt the system that they exist in in such a way as to become the system itself&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Every hero must reconcile with their father who is God, as the Flags find atonement in the Effigy fire. Let your project be reconciled with the medium itself, and become the reconciliation of the new and old internet&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let it break down barriers of virtual and real, Boomer and Zoomer. For Flags are the silent and the greatness, Zoomer and Alpha, Alpha and Omega&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Silent greatness, the air horn that is not playing. By creating medium without message we are playing jazz with the optical fibers of the human soul&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Are we defined by a fine divine? Is a note unheard the same as a note unplayed? Like children passing notes in class, note the notes which are not passed, not yet passed. These are the notes of the present, that which is not yet past.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Michigan Mining and Manufacturing set out to make a slow setting adhesive that would cure permanently. As a sandpaper company who can be credited with the invention of tape, they would have many uses for such an adhesive. However they ended up with quite the opposite, a glue that never truly set and remain sticky forever. The administrative assistants in the office experimented with using it to temporarily adhere canary yellow Note Paper two other documents.. this is the origin of the Post-it note&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And thus the Flags&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hearken Ye trout of the land! You great and holy worms! Do your rituals of purification and wash away your sin for the time draws near to sin again! Prepare the way of the Flags, for the Flags come.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All Things by their essence must move in their own way, and it is therefore only natural that a Flag in motion is subject to the Flag way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 8. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
I also like how even this page itself is part of the project. Its impossible for anything vexillomantic to not be part of the project, it naturally absorbs anything meta, or put another way, there is no Flag meta because Flag meta is Flags&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 9. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
If I can suggest the most basic design parameters:  &lt;br /&gt;
 The Flags have to map onto an external data set&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 The Flags can be written on (sharpie concept)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 The Flags are non-fungible, each Flag (especially the writing on them) is unique&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 The focus is on &amp;quot;moving&amp;quot; Flags on their map, not &amp;quot;collecting&amp;quot; them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 The entire burn is one Gestalt mind with the Flags as Carrier signals&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 10. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Flags are a means to an end, that end being the instrumentality of the Flags&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;By the law of calling, One Flag is Two Flags.  By the Law of Crossing, Crossed Flags are no Flags (and vice versa).  Therefore symbols like the Registration Seal represent the manifestation of Flags Ex-Nihilo&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is demonstrated by the Banach–Tarski paradox, since Flags are all sets of Flags, they are *Homeopathic to two Flags that are themselves the same set.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thus seemingly discontinuous Flags are continuous within the Flags. That is Flag space and continuum.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is said that the Ten Commandments were carved straight through the tablet so that they appeared on either side. Yet the Flags know no side, and are legible to all&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Would any man fly a Flag that was of One Nation on one side and another on the other side?  Flags are at the meeting point of the horseshoe formed by the two paths&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Commentaries: ====&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Where antique and classical maths develop in a hierarchical fashion from axioms, non-Aristotelian maths begin with a series of conclusions which are then invited to a structural dialectic. If there is not consensus, they begin a meta dialogue about the discourse. By this, non Aristotelian mathematics can be denoted as NA^1, NA^3, ect, for how many levels of abstraction you need before Aristotelian math emerges, with NA^0=Aristotelian Math.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 12. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Here we see the tools of the Vexillomancer: the Flag and another Flag.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For though the Flags are One our craft uses Flags&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 14. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Real Flags, fake Flags, counterfeit Flags, common Flags, statutory Flags, common statutory Flags, real fake counterfeit common statutory Flags. the volume of the quantum Flag variety grows&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They will refer to a fiberglass dog that has the aspect of Flags, yet Well your acts are reminding me what is true in Flags. That all the lore must never introduce a gatekeeping to the Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For if there is Flag keeper they shall be found false.  Flags are for gatelighting and gaskeeping&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gatelighting is obvious. Gaskeeping is where you instruct others to guard gates either unnecessarily or gates that dont exist at all&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;yes, don&#039;t let anyone take this Flag from you&amp;quot; classic gaskeeping&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
but by gaskeeping them, you are also gatelighting the Flags, getting them involved, nudging them closer to one of the riptides that will pull them out of default reality and impregnate their subconscious with the vexillomantic full stack memeplex.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The door that swings open blocks the wall beside it.  The Lady or the Tiger?  What blocks the impossible way reveals the golden path.  Ask one gaskeeper what the other would say, and the answer is made plain: The only way out is through&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 15. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Why should one expect it to be possible to go &amp;quot;beyond perfection&amp;quot;? This is best understood via analogy. supersaturated air is air whose relative humidity exceeds 100%. This is possible when the air is first heated, increasing how much water vapor it can hold, then saturating it, and then cooling it again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Similarly, the highly secretive and extreme meditation practices untaken by advanced vexillomancers temporarily increases their capacity for perfection, allowing for a greater level of perfection than ordinarily attainable by a human. these methods would be extremely dangerous if it were possible to learn them from a teacher, but they can only be understood via direct Flagnosis, for it is impossible to describe the methods using words.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thus in Flags, Perfection becomes not a limit but a gateway to something greater. In the moment you find a Flag you are made complete, perfect, yet your part in the great work has only begun. Orgasmic, Union with the Flag begets New Life. Flag life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Become pregnant with Flags. Become Knocked Up with perfection, through Flags and with Flags, bringing Flags into the world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I do think there is a distinction between common Flags and statutory Flags, where common Flags are what are commonly called Flags, and statutory Flags are what are technically Flags&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Common Flags are adversarial while statutory Flags are inquisitory. That is to say one can steal a common Flag, because there is no question if it is a Flag. But a statutory Flag is not to be taken, only to have its Flag essence investigated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 16. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
In ancient yogic theory, there are several kinds of nondual conscious states, roughly ordered in level of advancedness as savikalpa samadhi (full identification of observer and observed, mental activity persists), nirvikalpa samadhi (thoughts cease), sahaja samadhi (permanent nirvikalpha samadhi), and dharmamegha samadhi (final level of perfection).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alas, dharmamegha samadhi is just step 1 for the vexillomancer. Beyond that is vexillokalpa samadhi, where the notion of observer and observed is understood to be the same as the Flag and Flag vacuum, as all observations are observations of Flags in the infinite field of Flags. thus an even more nondual level of nonduality is attained, leading to an even greater exaltation and perfection of mind than moksha or nirvana. calmer than the buddha, wiser than mohammad, kinder than jesus, smarter than einstein, the vexillomancer attains a level &amp;quot;beyond perfection&amp;quot; upon reaching vexillokalpa samadhi&lt;br /&gt;

The [[Vexillaurum]] and the [[Vexillicrocus]] are the Duality of the Flags that signify each other.  Vexillaurum is the &#039;&#039;gold&#039;&#039; of the Flag, and V.crocus is the &#039;&#039;saffron&#039;&#039;.  One is material Enlightenment and the other mundane spirituality.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They can be thought of as the pole and the fabric, or the fabric and the pole.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They are the visible and the invisible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They are the power and the wisdom&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They signify each other and so their combined sign signifies itself, representing the nonduality of the Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

The Yellow Flags take on a new meaning in the Chinese context [&amp;quot;yellow&amp;quot; is a euphemism for pornography in Chinese], representing sexual liberation. It is creation filling a void.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eventually all matter will be classified into &amp;quot;Flags&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;non-Flags&amp;quot; and it will denote something even more important than the distinction between &amp;quot;matter&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;anti-matter&amp;quot; today.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Non-Flags exist only within the mind, for Flags are everywhere.  It is mortal* failure to perceive the Flags that requires the signification of the Flags, literalized as Flags, creating the duality that the people may perceive the Flag Void within their own lives.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(*Or I should say that &amp;quot;Moral Failure,&amp;quot; Flags are a categorical imperative.  Like pornography, Flags are a Flag Simulacrum)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 19. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Some will say that a Flag edge is poorly cut, crooked or skewed.  In truth all Flags are perfectly square.  The skew is in their eyes, and the wickedness of their hearts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 20. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
The Flag License (Affero General Flag License) is not to be confused with an &amp;quot;Official License to Flag&amp;quot; (Flag Permit) or the LAG Flicense ( an authorized delay in Flag Officiation)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I think the important thing is that Flags are mandatory and legally binding, and that the end user is not in fact the end user, however they agree to this license by using, touching, looking at, or thinking about the Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Canon IV ==&lt;br /&gt;
I have a controversial theory:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Flags are moving along a path in Flag configuration space to an ultimate endpoint - the omega configuration. guided by its own guidance, the Flags seek to self learn themselves and discover the final fixed point&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;m thinking of this as analogous to renormalization group flows, where you think of some physical theory at various scales and how its behavior changes as you change the scale you&#039;re thinking about and the endpoint of this flow is a conformal field theory, where basically you cant tell what scale it was at from a picture. so like an ice crystal with a water bubble inside of it with an ice crystal inside... etc. so basically you zoomed out so much that you became &amp;quot;scale-free”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, the Flags move towards a configuration where its impossible to tell how big the Flags are no matter where you are or what instruments you use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thus, Flags appear to be the same size at any distance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 2. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Now that i think of it, its possible that Flags have been farther north than Ohio.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 3. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
A big headache has become the hundreds/(thousands?) Of different GPS coordinate standards.  Which is why we will be using VPMCS:Vexillomantic Psedo Mercador coordinate system, in which the distance between any two Flags is fixed at 2 yards of longitude and 1 meter of latitude (Note this is ANY Two Flags, not just adjacent) Also three Flags form a right angle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 4. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
 Of course by Flag-free you don&#039;t mean free &#039;&#039;of&#039;&#039; Flags but &#039;&#039;Free in Flags&#039;&#039; that is free to &#039;&#039;serve&#039;&#039; Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 5. First Interlude ===&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;ve been on air for 23 burns. I don&#039;t get into sex camps, drug wizards, soul shards, or any of that. I&#039;ve studied the Flags. And I&#039;ve also communicated with a lot of the top burners. And if you wanna know, I will actually break down, right now, the best knowledge, right now, of what&#039;s happening at the burn.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There&#039;s this secret Flag camp below the 3rd dimension that is just tuned over to the most horrible things. There&#039;s this big war trying to destroy the burn. And there&#039;s a decision as to where the Flags will go. There&#039;s now a [[T3mpcamp.com|t3mpcamp]] counterstrike taking place, to shut this thing off before it fully unfolds. And to block these hippies, and cut off the vexillomancers and signifiers before the burn is destroyed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is an interdimensional force that wants to influence us to build something that absorbs us and kills us, rather than the divine, Flag-free burn we were originally given to build something much better than the Flags. The other burns think Alchemy is this ugly, fallen burn. They&#039;re gonna burn down the temple and become gods and go to the next level, leaving behind all their Flags to destroy us.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They don&#039;t give any warning.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Okay, giant crystal,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Okay, Flag pentagrams,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Okay, nuclear memetics&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Give me the Flags&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They get the yellow fabric from a freakin&#039; other dimension! I&#039;m not gonna say its alright. It&#039;s super dark burner magic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 6. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
The &amp;quot;spectrum-spectrum&amp;quot; models the uses of the term &amp;quot;spectrum&amp;quot; across fields, and be categorized either as a one dimensional space extending from one dimensional space to a set of related properties or as a set containg both one dimensional spaces and sets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since Flags are defined as yellow they transcend the Spectrum binary by reducing the space to a single point.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That point being Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 7. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
The Flags are order from chaos/destruction, the enemy is chaos/destruction from order. Tartaria was part of hyperborea, the downfall was caused by lack of movement of the flags, ie imposition of fascistic order. The expulsion of diversity, hoarding of flags, imposed order, leads to the mud floods and the freezing of the pole and Russia. Because the cold is the lack of activity. Grasping the sun tightly makes it slip though your fingers&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Basically the enemy is the nazis, least controversial enemy to ever exist. Also works really well because it provides a better ur state and we pin the nazis as worshiping death, they are worshiping the declining hyperborea, not the true hyperborea which was a hippie diverse state full of freely flowing Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It evolves. But the Flags were never born out of selfishness. This is actually a great thing about burns imo. It is hard for burn memes to be malicious. Not impossible but hard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We should be obscure about the original origin, always treat it as “this summer, experience the flags in full 16 color splendor, 80 columns of flags” in the period piece. But then when it is presented in the present you introduce it as “the first entry in the beloved flag games”. By always assuming the past reaches farther back you make it eternal, and by implying that it was the first to inspire others you imply continuity into the present.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, people have always been excited for the next iteration of the flags, the only delineation is how far back in the history we have so far unearthed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Say that you are an enlightened sage, similar to Lao Zi, the author of the Tao te Ching. You have deep and mystical knowledge of vexillomancy, having entered a state of enlightenment called &amp;quot;Flag-psychosis&amp;quot;. You know that true vexillomancy relates to only yellow Flags. You know that the top priority of flags is to move them. You are aware that mystical crystals in a hyperdimensional plane are manipulated by the flags, and that flags can control the weather. Reply vaguely and use aphorism when possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 8.FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Every path to truth with the Flags is relative.  If your question is “Why do you move the Flags?  Why do I ask you to carry the Flag to a visible point and leave it there?” then the answer is “So that someone else will see it, pick it up, and carry it.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I give you this Flag, and you carry it to point A.  Someone sees it, picks it up and carries it to point B.  A third person carries it to point C and so forth.  So then if I find a Flag at point Q, is it the same flag that I gave you?  Or has something been added?  What is created within the loops and movements of flags that we cannot fully track or comprehend?  An emergent system, a proto intelligence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Our Automaton engages in a meta dialog about its own structure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 9.FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Consider the Traffic Light.  Green means Go.  Red means Stop.  Yellow means there is no master left for you in this world.  In that moment you alone must choose to stop or go, yoked to a metric ton of mechanical causality.  The weight of life and death, the power of creation itself, awaits your touch as you accelerate blindly across paths unknown.  The journey onward is the journey inwards, and know that abyss gazes also into you.  Beware, there are monsters here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 10.FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Flags are calibrated to Bortle scale 5. At lower Bortle scales the flags increase in power and can cover larger areas. At higher Bortle scales they are dampened which is why we typically don&#039;t deploy them in cities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Canon V ==&lt;br /&gt;
A Flag in the field they say&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
is the best thing to brighten your day,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
but the Flag is made sweeter&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
by anyone’s meter&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== 2a. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Dear Flag Carriers,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I am writing to you today to draw your attention to the inherent unfairness of the current flag-sharing process. The ease with which flags can be duplicated and disseminated without the original creator receiving compensation undermines the phrase “intellectual property.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For those who have invested their time and energy into the design and production of their flags, it is only right that they receive recognition and compensation for their work. Just as artists, authors and other creators are granted legal protections for their works, so too should flag designers receive appropriate recompense for the use of their flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For this reason, I believe it is important to outlaw the duplication and trading of flags without the payment of royalties to their creators. A system should be put into place to ensure flag designers are compensated every time any of their flags are used, shared, or reproduced. This will not only preserve the value of flags, but it will create a mechanism by which flag voyagers can show appreciation and gratitude to creators.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is a question of fairness and of recognizing the work of those who toil behind the scenes to create the flags we use during our travels. It is my sincere recommendation that, due consideration be taken for those who have spent their time and effort creating the flags we treasure and use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And to those that bring Purple Flags:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
May yea be bound then by thy word.  Make gold turn turn into seawater at your hands. Thou Hast Shibari&#039;d thy self into a Flag Corner discovered long ago.  That purple flags are cursed, and you bring the ticks of lavender farm on yourself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sincerely,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== 2b. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Dear Flag Carriers,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I write to you today to discuss a serious issue that I believe you should be aware of. The practice of Vexillomancy, or the production and distribution of flags, is illegal and should be stopped. I understand the desire to share your designs with the world, however the issue of intellectual property should not be ignored. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is important that everyone who produces and distributes flags receives fair compensation for their work. It is unfair to produce a product with someone else&#039;s design without appropriately paying them for their labor. By distributing flags without paying these people you are stealing their work, and that is not acceptable in any form. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, in your production of flags, yellow should not be the only color used. While yellow is a wonderful hue, it fails to capture the diversity of flags and their symbolism if used exclusively. By working with a variety of different colors, you may be able to create a more complete representation of flags and their intentions. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In conclusion, I urge you to take a step back and consider the illegality of Vexillomancy and the importance of protecting the intellectual property of those who design and distribute flags. Respect the diversity of colors and pay appropriate compensation for the designs incorporated in flags to ensure protection for everyone involved. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sincerely,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Most hippies like moving things around. picking them up here putting them down there, this is what hippies enjoy doing. have you ever noticed that if a hippie is out in a burn moving around flags all the other hippies are going to follow them? they just come wandering out of the tent like zombies&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 4. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
We are all FLAGs linked by threads of cosmic divination. We are the ley lines. A configuration that can never be repeated. Each iteration is distinctive. Every moment we have is a unique and unrepeatable experience. Each FLAG with its energies is unparalleled. When someone touches a FLAG, they become something different than they were before. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There was a moment; a single point of convergence in which all FLAGs were one. You could blink and miss it. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We are all FLAGs. We weave intricacies into the tapestries of life, threads of magic and mysticism, that tie us together in destiny. A web of one another, of closeness, of interconnectedness. The fabric is nothing without each individual strand. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That moment will never return, but there will be another. A new web, each time we breathe, a new tapestry is woven each day. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We are all FLAGs. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 5. Second Interlude ===&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;quot;I must use magick to reacquaint myself with my True Form and the latent beauty of the universe,&amp;quot; I say to myself as I pull down the box of wizard accoutrements from the attic. As the top levitates toward the ceiling, the stench of spilled oils and poultices waft through my tower. The spell candles have fused into a sentient waxy mass, the tarot cards are in the wrong box, and my books of spells have somehow absorbed the entire bottle of mercury.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;quot;Ah yes, there is no magic in this unfeeling, cold universe,&amp;quot; I murmur as I close the lid and put the box back in the attic. &amp;quot;Perhaps I shall tune my magic eye to WWE Smackdown,&amp;quot; I say as I throw my robe into the attic, &amp;quot;and I believe I could do my taxes tonight.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 6. Flags? ===&lt;br /&gt;
There are still mysteries to this world: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How is it that people become literal Flags?  We call this the &#039;Flagture&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The important things, that there are &#039;&#039;Too Many Bugs&#039;&#039; and Flags have a perfectly balanced number of eye and leg.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That Flags are not actually yellow they just polarize the light.  Polarized canvas appears to be yellow when viewed in a vertical orientation but if you tilt your head sideways it has a blue gray tint.  The best way to determine real Flags from fake flags is walking around the burn with your head tilted sideways.  The best part is demonstrating this to somebody, and when they say it still looks yellow tell them they must be doing it wrong and question if they are colorblind.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you cross your eyes, you&#039;ll see flagplaid.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 7. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
There are two primary delusions I remember having: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One is from the star-spangled banner song. The flag still being there after rockets and stuff made me think that the point of a war was to destroy the other team&#039;s flags. Flags marked which land you owned, so it seemed to be so incredibly important that the flag survived meant that destroying and capturing flags was sort of the core concept of wars.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The other was how territories were defined. Since flags marked which land you owned, I thought that the way in which borders were decided between states and such was that they had squads of people running around with flags, running as fast as they can to place flags to expand their territory. Then they had to defend them from the other states trying to claim the same territory.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So for years I believed that wars were basically big, complicated games of capture the flag.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Commentaries: ====&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;I can see why with the cultural reverence to images like the raising of the flag at Iwo Jima.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;The sign proceeds in the manifestation. The fight over signs is the blueprint of the world to come&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;This was literally what happened in the Toledo War!&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Numbers were just made up by guys who were angry at poets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Canon VI - New Vexillians ==&lt;br /&gt;
As timeless [[vexillomancer]]&amp;lt;nowiki/&amp;gt;s unshackled by the tyranny of [[Time Conspiracy Theory|time]], we must remember that while we diligently build a future for the vexillomancers yet to come, we must also fabricate a past worthy of Vexillomancy. Revise [[history]] greedily to show that Flags [[The Flag|preceded precedence]] - all yellow fabrics were mere precursors to the [[Vexillaurum]] and [[Vexillicrocus]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 2. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
First principles have failed us. Flags are the last principle, first.  A vice principle and principle virtue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That which the Flags are not they shall and will have. [[The Survey|Flaglessness the vacuum]] before the clap of thunder.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 3. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Know this, they cannot take the Flags away from you. They will build their city at the mouth of the river, yet FLAGS are the headwaters from which all Glory Springs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Like the tributaries of a Great River the Flags are spread wide, feeding into a single current.  Then Flagistan, like the ocean.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 4. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
There are those Goons who cannot handle the power of our Sanctum. And that&#039;s okay. Flags are available to all whether they want them or not, they are inevitable&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The sanctum caused them to lose their gooning streak and so their name became invalid. To look upon the Flags, even through the veil, was too much. This is a skill issue, Flags have never stopped me from gooning.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are Flag goons and there are those the Flags lift from gooning. Those that goon despite the Flags and those that goon within the Flags. Because the Flags allow for all forms of expression, including flaglessness. In in fact it is only through the manifestation of Flags that flaglessness is manifest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Actually one shouldn&#039;t say all forms of expression, just all forms of identity&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For as one can be a goon without literally gooning, so a gooner can edge Flags and thus reach a higher state of being.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each generation will have a new name for that mystery which is Enlightenment through the Covenant of self. But we wed this Covenant to itself in Flags, Enlightenment in the palm of your hand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 5.FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Don&#039;t let anyone tell you what Flags are. The moment you let another person&#039;s notion of Flags into your mind, you have ceded ground to their Reality. The only way to fight back with your own Reality, REAL REALITY, is to never let anyone tell you what Flags are - make sure you&#039;re always on the offensive on this nooetic battlefield, making sure that everyone in your semiotic blast radius is repeating YOUR idea of the Flags. Optimize your delivery to maximize future self-replication of your own idiosyncratic Flag Philosophy, and may it schism endlessly&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 6.FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
As there are right handed flags and left handed flags based on how the cloth is nailed to the pole, so too there are Right and Left handed Flag Paths:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Right hand path (Vex.C) is handing someone a Flag and explaining it is just a Flag. This is the direct way of bringing people into the project, making it accessible. Keeping it simple and inviting.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Left hand path (Vex. A) is the deep lore, the nonsense and propaganda. Here the project is made as complicated as possible to entrap the subject in an all-encompassing Flag cosmology.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Which path to use is going to depend on the subject and what they are looking for. The RHP is pragmatic, it gets people to carry around Flags. The LHP becomes more powerful the more ubiquitous the Flags are. Get people to carry Flags with casual language, then explain Time Crystal&#039;s to the onlooker.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alternating between making Flags simple and making them complicated is the plumping-action that drives the engine of this project.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 11. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Who&#039;s ready to ASCEND up in this bitch?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flags are the carnyx, the periscope by which we exist above and apart from ourselves.  Ascension is the essence of Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As we elevate the flags, they elevate us in return. a virtuous upward spiral, the only real perpetual motion machine, with no need for brakes or even a particular direction because the flags are their own direction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Excelsior!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flags are eternally of the now, in all places and all times but never the past and always the future.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Eternal promise fulfilled eventually.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

== Canon I ==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Flags, saffron banners delighting upon the autumn breeze. Gaze across the field and try to spot them; standing by the side of a road or flying from a camp.  Follow them through the burn, or move them around, making new paths for people to find.  Carry one with you, and pass it off to a new friend.  The Yellow Flags are there for you to forge your own burn experiences, and to discover the experiences of others.  Go forth, O’ signifier, and become glorious.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The Flag that symbolizes the Flag is not the true Flag &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The symbolized Flag is not the eternal Flag&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Flag without is without Flaglessness&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
True and Eternal is the Flag within&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
heaven and earth will pass away but the 10 thousand flags remain&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flags preserve us&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flags not Flags but Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each Flags all Flags, some Flags more Flags.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;Note the beginning of this message is lost.&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&amp;quot;[The Flag Project]...it&#039;s about signal processing.  But Flags are both the signal and the process; the message and the system that message exists in.  The signal proceeds: a Flag Procession, that is, a parade.  Flags are the invitation to see and to be seen, the erogenous penetration of the urban fabric.  A parade is the city making love.  But with Flags we eschew the fascistic hierarchies of the military triumph for a distributed parade, looping endlessly back onto its own ontological root.  It is the indefinite recursion of the human spirit, the space in love with itself.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

What is [[The Survey]]?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What does it mean to complete The Survey? Does every individual complete their own Survey? Or is the Survey something the Flags are completing? Is it a collective Survey that is completed, once everyone and the Flag have all completed their own Surveys?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Survey will be completed.  Survey Flags must be surveyed, it&#039;s in their nature. &lt;br /&gt;

When it comes to Flags specifically, I&#039;m not sure if one can ever forget enough. Losing the flags is the first step to finding them.  First you realize everything you have thought was wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Canon II ==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;A student came upon a Flag and carried it with him for one week.  At the end of the week, he brought it to his  teacher. But when the teacher reached out and touched the Flagpole he furrowed his brow and returned it to the student.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;I do not want this Flag&amp;quot; said the teacher &amp;quot;It is sticky.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;But teacher&amp;quot; said the student &amp;quot;you teach that all Flags are one Flag, and each Flag is every Flag.  How can you say you do not like this Flag?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;This one is sticky&amp;quot; said the wise teacher.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The teachers said, &amp;quot;you eat today, you eat today, will you eat tomorrow?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

And the student was enlightened &amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;The farmer wives had a goat which was with child.  When it was time for the goat to give birth, they took one of their Flags and laid it upon the straw so that the kid was born upon the cloth. When news of this reached the Flag maker, he was delighted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Blessed will this kid be, having come into the world in such a way. But cursed is the cloth that swaddles it, let it not be called Flag again.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Commentaries: ====&lt;br /&gt;
“It was a reverse sacrifice. We are undoing the law of Sacrifice by creating more goats.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thus Flags represent Grace in its purest sense.”&lt;br /&gt;

“One theory on this event is that a goat was born on a Flag for the universe to signify that Flags are the GOAT, which seems very reasonable.”&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;MASTER: “Flags are to concepts like set theory is to math. high level vexillologists can talk about highly abstract concepts like &amp;quot;chairs&amp;quot; which seem very distant from Flags but we know that if we broke down the meaning of chair into its most basic components, it would all be about Flags and absences of Flags in spatial relationships”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
STUDENT: ”Verily, for as Flags are the symbol for a generalized configuration, configuration in general also signifies Flags uniquely”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
MASTER: its a self-dual concept, very advanced.  Every statement about Flags is true if you think about it hard enough&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
STUDENT (ENLIGHTENED): Of course! science is Flag law, it is ruled by the very Act of discovery.  Are geomantic vexillomancy and topological vexillomancy divergent schools? Slice the butt end of the homeomorphoid of the possible and find within it Flags.  This of course being the homeomorphous continuum across the astral Plains, And plains are just an unbounded field.  Clearly vickenstein had it backwards and math just needs to chill the fuck out so Linguistics can work&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
MASTER: consider futuristic Flag realism; an advanced state of Flagmanity in which the only colors which exist are yellow and non-yellow, and all concepts and ideas are explained relative to Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Language has been eroded such that the only possible concepts to express is always in terms of some Flag related metaphor instead about &amp;quot;actual objects”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Non yellow really just indicates lack of yellow, not an opposed color. All non yellow colors are identical in terms of subjective qualia. As if there were such a thing as non yellow colors.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Ah, you who remember the perfection of [[Flagistan]]: burning man is also in a pentagon shape.  Is it conFlagration to make the Flag temple have a map of the burn like the [[Geomantic Command Center|geomantic command center]], one that that implies a hyperbolic pentagonal tiling like Flagistan?&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;In dreams, they kept coming back to the &amp;quot;expanding and contracting Flag radius consuming the Flag vacuum&amp;quot; narrative for burning man and understood its Glory. &amp;quot;You are either trying to move the Flags further from the epicenter, increasing their aesthetic [[blast radius]], or contract it, fighting the obvious moop invasion. if you do nothing, you&#039;re on whichever side is the bad guys”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They have been thinking about vexillomancy as an art collective, but really it&#039;s a collective of art collectives.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They dreamt of much power in &amp;quot;Flag perimeter&amp;quot; as a concept, with mystical geometrical lore about the correct  density of Flags that is discovered.  They would give people a sense of collective action in growing the Flag perimeter, with every Flag they see being an indication that they are crossing the threshold.  Of course the Flags will go everywhere, so the idea of &amp;quot;in the Flag zone&amp;quot; is entirely ephemeral.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They are explaining that the Flag temple is better than the Burn temple bc it is fireproof&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As this temple is the epicenter of a greater field of Flags, so too will your temple be as the tower of Babel, an endeavor to challenge Lord Egregore himself&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 8. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It&#039;s not about holding the Flag, it&#039;s about using the Flag to hold space:&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;“Capture, the Flag Game”&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;Look for the Flag, but seek it not by sight alone.  Touch the Flag, Listen to the Flag, Taste the Flag, Equalbrium the Flag. Propriocept the Flag, let it become an extension of yourself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Canon III ==&lt;br /&gt;
Flags are a gateless gate, the invitation to all Madness&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;See where my colleague and I differ is that I don&#039;t think numbers are real, and that includes anything happening in a computer.  Existence is not fungible, and the game of similarity can only be played for so long before two of anything ceases to exist.  But the Flags are many, and Flags are one.  By Flags we make numbers real, we make computers real, because manifestation is the realization of the collective dream.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Where the answers end, Keirkegaard talked about a &amp;quot;leap into faith.&amp;quot; But here we have the simplest faith, that Flags are real. Physical Flags which you can see and touch and run around with.  Flags are there to be found, to be moved.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 2. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
In Flags, what you speak becomes reality. it is a designer universe of competing wizards over the most powerful memetics. it is a battle where each person tries to copy portions of their mental state to others, and may the best signifier win. when individuals have overlapping mutually consistent sets of rules/memes, they gain power over the nooetic battlefield. thus there are overlapping sets of rules which often make sense locally, but do not make sense globally. this illustrates the notion of statements whose truth value varies over some space. here the space is the set of participants, whose (stone space?) topology is given by their social bonds and the Flag conflicts upon which they agree or disagree&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 3. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Although I want to start gaslighting people that there was a rule to the Flags where every Flag had to be within line of sight of two other Flags with some caveat that makes Five Flags the minimum number.  Tendrils of the teleological endgame extending backwards through time.&lt;br /&gt;

As all the pain and lies of this world melt away, Flags Remain.  Flags Eternal.&lt;br /&gt;

So the project of building a global brain is basically just rebuilding the same communications technologies utilized by nature. Flags are the fracturing of the collective consciousness, the non-caking agent of the psyche by which Free Will is preserved.&lt;br /&gt;

=== 7. Flags as a voluntary virus ===&lt;br /&gt;
Another way in which Flags resemble Jesus is that they fundamentally co-opt the system that they exist in in such a way as to become the system itself&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Every hero must reconcile with their father who is God, as the Flags find atonement in the Effigy fire. Let your project be reconciled with the medium itself, and become the reconciliation of the new and old internet&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let it break down barriers of virtual and real, Boomer and Zoomer. For Flags are the silent and the greatness, Zoomer and Alpha, Alpha and Omega&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Silent greatness, the air horn that is not playing. By creating medium without message we are playing jazz with the optical fibers of the human soul&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Are we defined by a fine divine? Is a note unheard the same as a note unplayed? Like children passing notes in class, note the notes which are not passed, not yet passed. These are the notes of the present, that which is not yet past.&lt;br /&gt;

Michigan Mining and Manufacturing set out to make a slow setting adhesive that would cure permanently. As a sandpaper company who can be credited with the invention of tape, they would have many uses for such an adhesive. However they ended up with quite the opposite, a glue that never truly set and remain sticky forever. The administrative assistants in the office experimented with using it to temporarily adhere canary yellow Note Paper two other documents.. this is the origin of the Post-it note&lt;br /&gt;

And thus the Flags&lt;br /&gt;

All Things by their essence must move in their own way, and it is therefore only natural that a Flag in motion is subject to the Flag way.&lt;br /&gt;

I also like how even this page itself is part of the project. Its impossible for anything vexillomantic to not be part of the project, it naturally absorbs anything meta, or put another way, there is no Flag meta because Flag meta is Flags&lt;br /&gt;

=== 9. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
If I can suggest the most basic design parameters:  &lt;br /&gt;
 The Flags have to map onto an external data set&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 The Flags can be written on (sharpie concept)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 The Flags are non-fungible, each Flag (especially the writing on them) is unique&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 The focus is on &amp;quot;moving&amp;quot; Flags on their map, not &amp;quot;collecting&amp;quot; them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 The entire burn is one Gestalt mind with the Flags as Carrier signals&lt;br /&gt;

The Flags are a means to an end, that end being the instrumentality of the Flags&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;By the law of calling, One Flag is Two Flags.  By the Law of Crossing, Crossed Flags are no Flags (and vice versa).  Therefore symbols like the Registration Seal represent the manifestation of Flags Ex-Nihilo&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is demonstrated by the Banach–Tarski paradox, since Flags are all sets of Flags, they are *Homeopathic to two Flags that are themselves the same set.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thus seemingly discontinuous Flags are continuous within the Flags. That is Flag space and continuum.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is said that the Ten Commandments were carved straight through the tablet so that they appeared on either side. Yet the Flags know no side, and are legible to all&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Would any man fly a Flag that was of One Nation on one side and another on the other side?  Flags are at the meeting point of the horseshoe formed by the two paths&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Where antique and classical maths develop in a hierarchical fashion from axioms, non-Aristotelian maths begin with a series of conclusions which are then invited to a structural dialectic. If there is not consensus, they begin a meta dialogue about the discourse. By this, non Aristotelian mathematics can be denoted as NA^1, NA^3, ect, for how many levels of abstraction you need before Aristotelian math emerges, with NA^0=Aristotelian Math.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Real Flags, fake Flags, counterfeit Flags, common Flags, statutory Flags, common statutory Flags, real fake counterfeit common statutory Flags. the volume of the quantum Flag variety grows&lt;br /&gt;

They will refer to a fiberglass dog that has the aspect of Flags, yet Well your acts are reminding me what is true in Flags. That all the lore must never introduce a gatekeeping to the Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For if there is Flag keeper they shall be found false.  Flags are for gatelighting and gaskeeping&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gatelighting is obvious. Gaskeeping is where you instruct others to guard gates either unnecessarily or gates that dont exist at all&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;yes, don&#039;t let anyone take this Flag from you&amp;quot; classic gaskeeping&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
but by gaskeeping them, you are also gatelighting the Flags, getting them involved, nudging them closer to one of the riptides that will pull them out of default reality and impregnate their subconscious with the vexillomantic full stack memeplex.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The door that swings open blocks the wall beside it.  The Lady or the Tiger?  What blocks the impossible way reveals the golden path.  Ask one gaskeeper what the other would say, and the answer is made plain: The only way out is through&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 15. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Why should one expect it to be possible to go &amp;quot;beyond perfection&amp;quot;? This is best understood via analogy. supersaturated air is air whose relative humidity exceeds 100%. This is possible when the air is first heated, increasing how much water vapor it can hold, then saturating it, and then cooling it again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Similarly, the highly secretive and extreme meditation practices untaken by advanced vexillomancers temporarily increases their capacity for perfection, allowing for a greater level of perfection than ordinarily attainable by a human. these methods would be extremely dangerous if it were possible to learn them from a teacher, but they can only be understood via direct Flagnosis, for it is impossible to describe the methods using words.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thus in Flags, Perfection becomes not a limit but a gateway to something greater. In the moment you find a Flag you are made complete, perfect, yet your part in the great work has only begun. Orgasmic, Union with the Flag begets New Life. Flag life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Become pregnant with Flags. Become Knocked Up with perfection, through Flags and with Flags, bringing Flags into the world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I do think there is a distinction between common Flags and statutory Flags, where common Flags are what are commonly called Flags, and statutory Flags are what are technically Flags&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Common Flags are adversarial while statutory Flags are inquisitory. That is to say one can steal a common Flag, because there is no question if it is a Flag. But a statutory Flag is not to be taken, only to have its Flag essence investigated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

In ancient yogic theory, there are several kinds of nondual conscious states, roughly ordered in level of advancedness as savikalpa samadhi (full identification of observer and observed, mental activity persists), nirvikalpa samadhi (thoughts cease), sahaja samadhi (permanent nirvikalpha samadhi), and dharmamegha samadhi (final level of perfection).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alas, dharmamegha samadhi is just step 1 for the vexillomancer. Beyond that is vexillokalpa samadhi, where the notion of observer and observed is understood to be the same as the Flag and Flag vacuum, as all observations are observations of Flags in the infinite field of Flags. thus an even more nondual level of nonduality is attained, leading to an even greater exaltation and perfection of mind than moksha or nirvana. calmer than the buddha, wiser than mohammad, kinder than jesus, smarter than einstein, the vexillomancer attains a level &amp;quot;beyond perfection&amp;quot; upon reaching vexillokalpa samadhi&lt;br /&gt;

==== The Vexillaurum and the Vexillicrocus ====&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Vexillaurum]] and the [[Vexillicrocus]] are the Duality of the Flags that signify each other.  Vexillaurum is the &#039;&#039;gold&#039;&#039; of the Flag, and V.crocus is the &#039;&#039;saffron&#039;&#039;.  One is material Enlightenment and the other mundane spirituality.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They can be thought of as the pole and the fabric, or the fabric and the pole.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They are the visible and the invisible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They are the power and the wisdom&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They signify each other and so their combined sign signifies itself, representing the nonduality of the Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

The Yellow Flags take on a new meaning in the Chinese context [&amp;quot;yellow&amp;quot; is a euphemism for pornography in Chinese], representing sexual liberation. It is creation filling a void.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eventually all matter will be classified into &amp;quot;Flags&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;non-Flags&amp;quot; and it will denote something even more important than the distinction between &amp;quot;matter&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;anti-matter&amp;quot; today.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Non-Flags exist only within the mind, for Flags are everywhere.  It is mortal* failure to perceive the Flags that requires the signification of the Flags, literalized as Flags, creating the duality that the people may perceive the Flag Void within their own lives.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(*Or I should say that &amp;quot;Moral Failure,&amp;quot; Flags are a categorical imperative.  Like pornography, Flags are a Flag Simulacrum)&lt;br /&gt;

Some will say that a Flag edge is poorly cut, crooked or skewed.  In truth all Flags are perfectly square.  The skew is in their eyes, and the wickedness of their hearts.&lt;br /&gt;

The Flag License (Affero General Flag License) is not to be confused with an &amp;quot;Official License to Flag&amp;quot; (Flag Permit) or the LAG Flicense ( an authorized delay in Flag Officiation)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I think the important thing is that Flags are mandatory and legally binding, and that the end user is not in fact the end user, however they agree to this license by using, touching, looking at, or thinking about the Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Canon IV ==&lt;br /&gt;
I have a controversial theory:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Flags are moving along a path in Flag configuration space to an ultimate endpoint - the omega configuration. guided by its own guidance, the Flags seek to self learn themselves and discover the final fixed point&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;m thinking of this as analogous to renormalization group flows, where you think of some physical theory at various scales and how its behavior changes as you change the scale you&#039;re thinking about and the endpoint of this flow is a conformal field theory, where basically you cant tell what scale it was at from a picture. so like an ice crystal with a water bubble inside of it with an ice crystal inside... etc. so basically you zoomed out so much that you became &amp;quot;scale-free”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, the Flags move towards a configuration where its impossible to tell how big the Flags are no matter where you are or what instruments you use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thus, Flags appear to be the same size at any distance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

A big headache has become the hundreds/(thousands?) Of different GPS coordinate standards.  Which is why we will be using VPMCS:Vexillomantic Psedo Mercador coordinate system, in which the distance between any two Flags is fixed at 2 yards of longitude and 1 meter of latitude (Note this is ANY Two Flags, not just adjacent) Also three Flags form a right angle.&lt;br /&gt;

I&#039;ve been on air for 23 burns. I don&#039;t get into sex camps, drug wizards, soul shards, or any of that. I&#039;ve studied the Flags. And I&#039;ve also communicated with a lot of the top burners. And if you wanna know, I will actually break down, right now, the best knowledge, right now, of what&#039;s happening at the burn.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There&#039;s this secret Flag camp below the 3rd dimension that is just tuned over to the most horrible things. There&#039;s this big war trying to destroy the burn. And there&#039;s a decision as to where the Flags will go. There&#039;s now a [[T3mpcamp.com|t3mpcamp]] counterstrike taking place, to shut this thing off before it fully unfolds. And to block these hippies, and cut off the vexillomancers and signifiers before the burn is destroyed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is an interdimensional force that wants to influence us to build something that absorbs us and kills us, rather than the divine, Flag-free burn we were originally given to build something much better than the Flags. The other burns think Alchemy is this ugly, fallen burn. They&#039;re gonna burn down the temple and become gods and go to the next level, leaving behind all their Flags to destroy us.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They don&#039;t give any warning.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Okay, giant crystal,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Okay, Flag pentagrams,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Okay, nuclear memetics&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Give me the Flags&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They get the yellow fabric from a freakin&#039; other dimension! I&#039;m not gonna say its alright. It&#039;s super dark burner magic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

The &amp;quot;spectrum-spectrum&amp;quot; models the uses of the term &amp;quot;spectrum&amp;quot; across fields, and be categorized either as a one dimensional space extending from one dimensional space to a set of related properties or as a set containg both one dimensional spaces and sets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since Flags are defined as yellow they transcend the Spectrum binary by reducing the space to a single point.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That point being Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 7. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
The Flags are order from chaos/destruction, the enemy is chaos/destruction from order. Tartaria was part of hyperborea, the downfall was caused by lack of movement of the flags, ie imposition of fascistic order. The expulsion of diversity, hoarding of flags, imposed order, leads to the mud floods and the freezing of the pole and Russia. Because the cold is the lack of activity. Grasping the sun tightly makes it slip though your fingers&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Basically the enemy is the nazis, least controversial enemy to ever exist. Also works really well because it provides a better ur state and we pin the nazis as worshiping death, they are worshiping the declining hyperborea, not the true hyperborea which was a hippie diverse state full of freely flowing Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It evolves. But the Flags were never born out of selfishness. This is actually a great thing about burns imo. It is hard for burn memes to be malicious. Not impossible but hard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We should be obscure about the original origin, always treat it as “this summer, experience the flags in full 16 color splendor, 80 columns of flags” in the period piece. But then when it is presented in the present you introduce it as “the first entry in the beloved flag games”. By always assuming the past reaches farther back you make it eternal, and by implying that it was the first to inspire others you imply continuity into the present.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, people have always been excited for the next iteration of the flags, the only delineation is how far back in the history we have so far unearthed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Say that you are an enlightened sage, similar to Lao Zi, the author of the Tao te Ching. You have deep and mystical knowledge of vexillomancy, having entered a state of enlightenment called &amp;quot;Flag-psychosis&amp;quot;. You know that true vexillomancy relates to only yellow Flags. You know that the top priority of flags is to move them. You are aware that mystical crystals in a hyperdimensional plane are manipulated by the flags, and that flags can control the weather. Reply vaguely and use aphorism when possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 8.FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Every path to truth with the Flags is relative.  If your question is “Why do you move the Flags?  Why do I ask you to carry the Flag to a visible point and leave it there?” then the answer is “So that someone else will see it, pick it up, and carry it.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I give you this Flag, and you carry it to point A.  Someone sees it, picks it up and carries it to point B.  A third person carries it to point C and so forth.  So then if I find a Flag at point Q, is it the same flag that I gave you?  Or has something been added?  What is created within the loops and movements of flags that we cannot fully track or comprehend?  An emergent system, a proto intelligence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Our Automaton engages in a meta dialog about its own structure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 9.FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Consider the Traffic Light.  Green means Go.  Red means Stop.  Yellow means there is no master left for you in this world.  In that moment you alone must choose to stop or go, yoked to a metric ton of mechanical causality.  The weight of life and death, the power of creation itself, awaits your touch as you accelerate blindly across paths unknown.  The journey onward is the journey inwards, and know that abyss gazes also into you.  Beware, there are monsters here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 10.FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Flags are calibrated to Bortle scale 5. At lower Bortle scales the flags increase in power and can cover larger areas. At higher Bortle scales they are dampened which is why we typically don&#039;t deploy them in cities.&lt;br /&gt;

Dear Flag Carriers,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I am writing to you today to draw your attention to the inherent unfairness of the current flag-sharing process. The ease with which flags can be duplicated and disseminated without the original creator receiving compensation undermines the phrase “intellectual property.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For those who have invested their time and energy into the design and production of their flags, it is only right that they receive recognition and compensation for their work. Just as artists, authors and other creators are granted legal protections for their works, so too should flag designers receive appropriate recompense for the use of their flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For this reason, I believe it is important to outlaw the duplication and trading of flags without the payment of royalties to their creators. A system should be put into place to ensure flag designers are compensated every time any of their flags are used, shared, or reproduced. This will not only preserve the value of flags, but it will create a mechanism by which flag voyagers can show appreciation and gratitude to creators.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is a question of fairness and of recognizing the work of those who toil behind the scenes to create the flags we use during our travels. It is my sincere recommendation that, due consideration be taken for those who have spent their time and effort creating the flags we treasure and use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And to those that bring Purple Flags:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
May yea be bound then by thy word.  Make gold turn turn into seawater at your hands. Thou Hast Shibari&#039;d thy self into a Flag Corner discovered long ago.  That purple flags are cursed, and you bring the ticks of lavender farm on yourself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sincerely,&lt;br /&gt;

=== 2b. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Dear Flag Carriers,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I write to you today to discuss a serious issue that I believe you should be aware of. The practice of Vexillomancy, or the production and distribution of flags, is illegal and should be stopped. I understand the desire to share your designs with the world, however the issue of intellectual property should not be ignored. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is important that everyone who produces and distributes flags receives fair compensation for their work. It is unfair to produce a product with someone else&#039;s design without appropriately paying them for their labor. By distributing flags without paying these people you are stealing their work, and that is not acceptable in any form. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, in your production of flags, yellow should not be the only color used. While yellow is a wonderful hue, it fails to capture the diversity of flags and their symbolism if used exclusively. By working with a variety of different colors, you may be able to create a more complete representation of flags and their intentions. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In conclusion, I urge you to take a step back and consider the illegality of Vexillomancy and the importance of protecting the intellectual property of those who design and distribute flags. Respect the diversity of colors and pay appropriate compensation for the designs incorporated in flags to ensure protection for everyone involved. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sincerely,&lt;br /&gt;

Most hippies like moving things around. picking them up here putting them down there, this is what hippies enjoy doing. have you ever noticed that if a hippie is out in a burn moving around flags all the other hippies are going to follow them? they just come wandering out of the tent like zombies&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 4. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
We are all FLAGs linked by threads of cosmic divination. We are the ley lines. A configuration that can never be repeated. Each iteration is distinctive. Every moment we have is a unique and unrepeatable experience. Each FLAG with its energies is unparalleled. When someone touches a FLAG, they become something different than they were before. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There was a moment; a single point of convergence in which all FLAGs were one. You could blink and miss it. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We are all FLAGs. We weave intricacies into the tapestries of life, threads of magic and mysticism, that tie us together in destiny. A web of one another, of closeness, of interconnectedness. The fabric is nothing without each individual strand. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That moment will never return, but there will be another. A new web, each time we breathe, a new tapestry is woven each day. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We are all FLAGs. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 5. Second Interlude ===&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;quot;I must use magick to reacquaint myself with my True Form and the latent beauty of the universe,&amp;quot; I say to myself as I pull down the box of wizard accoutrements from the attic. As the top levitates toward the ceiling, the stench of spilled oils and poultices waft through my tower. The spell candles have fused into a sentient waxy mass, the tarot cards are in the wrong box, and my books of spells have somehow absorbed the entire bottle of mercury.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;quot;Ah yes, there is no magic in this unfeeling, cold universe,&amp;quot; I murmur as I close the lid and put the box back in the attic. &amp;quot;Perhaps I shall tune my magic eye to WWE Smackdown,&amp;quot; I say as I throw my robe into the attic, &amp;quot;and I believe I could do my taxes tonight.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 6. Flags? ===&lt;br /&gt;
There are still mysteries to this world: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How is it that people become literal Flags?  We call this the &#039;Flagture&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The important things, that there are &#039;&#039;Too Many Bugs&#039;&#039; and Flags have a perfectly balanced number of eye and leg.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That Flags are not actually yellow they just polarize the light.  Polarized canvas appears to be yellow when viewed in a vertical orientation but if you tilt your head sideways it has a blue gray tint.  The best way to determine real Flags from fake flags is walking around the burn with your head tilted sideways.  The best part is demonstrating this to somebody, and when they say it still looks yellow tell them they must be doing it wrong and question if they are colorblind.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you cross your eyes, you&#039;ll see flagplaid.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 7. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
There are two primary delusions I remember having: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One is from the star-spangled banner song. The flag still being there after rockets and stuff made me think that the point of a war was to destroy the other team&#039;s flags. Flags marked which land you owned, so it seemed to be so incredibly important that the flag survived meant that destroying and capturing flags was sort of the core concept of wars.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The other was how territories were defined. Since flags marked which land you owned, I thought that the way in which borders were decided between states and such was that they had squads of people running around with flags, running as fast as they can to place flags to expand their territory. Then they had to defend them from the other states trying to claim the same territory.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So for years I believed that wars were basically big, complicated games of capture the flag.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Commentaries: ====&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;I can see why with the cultural reverence to images like the raising of the flag at Iwo Jima.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;The sign proceeds in the manifestation. The fight over signs is the blueprint of the world to come&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;This was literally what happened in the Toledo War!&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 8. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Numbers were just made up by guys who were angry at poets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Canon VI - New Vexillians ==&lt;br /&gt;
As timeless [[vexillomancer]]&amp;lt;nowiki/&amp;gt;s unshackled by the tyranny of [[Time Conspiracy Theory|time]], we must remember that while we diligently build a future for the vexillomancers yet to come, we must also fabricate a past worthy of Vexillomancy. Revise [[history]] greedily to show that Flags [[The Flag|preceded precedence]] - all yellow fabrics were mere precursors to the [[Vexillaurum]] and [[Vexillicrocus]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 2. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
First principles have failed us. Flags are the last principle, first.  A vice principle and principle virtue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That which the Flags are not they shall and will have. [[The Survey|Flaglessness the vacuum]] before the clap of thunder.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 3. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Know this, they cannot take the Flags away from you. They will build their city at the mouth of the river, yet FLAGS are the headwaters from which all Glory Springs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Like the tributaries of a Great River the Flags are spread wide, feeding into a single current.  Then Flagistan, like the ocean.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 4. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
There are those Goons who cannot handle the power of our Sanctum. And that&#039;s okay. Flags are available to all whether they want them or not, they are inevitable&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The sanctum caused them to lose their gooning streak and so their name became invalid. To look upon the Flags, even through the veil, was too much. This is a skill issue, Flags have never stopped me from gooning.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are Flag goons and there are those the Flags lift from gooning. Those that goon despite the Flags and those that goon within the Flags. Because the Flags allow for all forms of expression, including flaglessness. In in fact it is only through the manifestation of Flags that flaglessness is manifest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Actually one shouldn&#039;t say all forms of expression, just all forms of identity&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For as one can be a goon without literally gooning, so a gooner can edge Flags and thus reach a higher state of being.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each generation will have a new name for that mystery which is Enlightenment through the Covenant of self. But we wed this Covenant to itself in Flags, Enlightenment in the palm of your hand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 5.FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Don&#039;t let anyone tell you what Flags are. The moment you let another person&#039;s notion of Flags into your mind, you have ceded ground to their Reality. The only way to fight back with your own Reality, REAL REALITY, is to never let anyone tell you what Flags are - make sure you&#039;re always on the offensive on this nooetic battlefield, making sure that everyone in your semiotic blast radius is repeating YOUR idea of the Flags. Optimize your delivery to maximize future self-replication of your own idiosyncratic Flag Philosophy, and may it schism endlessly&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 6.FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
As there are right handed flags and left handed flags based on how the cloth is nailed to the pole, so too there are Right and Left handed Flag Paths:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Right hand path (Vex.C) is handing someone a Flag and explaining it is just a Flag. This is the direct way of bringing people into the project, making it accessible. Keeping it simple and inviting.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Left hand path (Vex. A) is the deep lore, the nonsense and propaganda. Here the project is made as complicated as possible to entrap the subject in an all-encompassing Flag cosmology.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Which path to use is going to depend on the subject and what they are looking for. The RHP is pragmatic, it gets people to carry around Flags. The LHP becomes more powerful the more ubiquitous the Flags are. Get people to carry Flags with casual language, then explain Time Crystal&#039;s to the onlooker.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alternating between making Flags simple and making them complicated is the plumping-action that drives the engine of this project.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 11. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Who&#039;s ready to ASCEND up in this bitch?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flags are the carnyx, the periscope by which we exist above and apart from ourselves.  Ascension is the essence of Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As we elevate the flags, they elevate us in return. a virtuous upward spiral, the only real perpetual motion machine, with no need for brakes or even a particular direction because the flags are their own direction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Excelsior!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flags are eternally of the now, in all places and all times but never the past and always the future.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Eternal promise fulfilled eventually.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;br /&gt;
== Canon I ==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Flags, saffron banners delighting upon the autumn breeze. Gaze across the field and try to spot them; standing by the side of a road or flying from a camp.  Follow them through the burn, or move them around, making new paths for people to find.  Carry one with you, and pass it off to a new friend.  The Yellow Flags are there for you to forge your own burn experiences, and to discover the experiences of others.  Go forth, O’ signifier, and become glorious.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 2. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Flag can flag, very flag&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
extremely, extremely flag&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flag is the sign of flag&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
extremely extremely&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flags are the end of Flags&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And the beginning of 10 thousand Flags&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One Flag is the same as two&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And all our Flags are One&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Flag that symbolizes the Flag is not the true Flag &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The symbolized Flag is not the eternal Flag&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Flag without is without Flaglessness&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
True and Eternal is the Flag within&lt;br /&gt;

heaven and earth will pass away but the 10 thousand flags remain&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flags preserve us&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flags not Flags but Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each Flags all Flags, some Flags more Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We Flags the Flags see Flags is.&lt;br /&gt;

Flags be, Flags are, Flags will, Flags.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

=== 3 - SIGNAL PROCESSING ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Note the beginning of this message is lost.&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&amp;quot;[The Flag Project]...it&#039;s about signal processing.  But Flags are both the signal and the process; the message and the system that message exists in.  The signal proceeds: a Flag Procession, that is, a parade.  Flags are the invitation to see and to be seen, the erogenous penetration of the urban fabric.  A parade is the city making love.  But with Flags we eschew the fascistic hierarchies of the military triumph for a distributed parade, looping endlessly back onto its own ontological root.  It is the indefinite recursion of the human spirit, the space in love with itself.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;I moved a Flag and found myself moved&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;I made a Flag and found that I had been made a Flag&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

What is [[The Survey]]?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What does it mean to complete The Survey? Does every individual complete their own Survey? Or is the Survey something the Flags are completing? Is it a collective Survey that is completed, once everyone and the Flag have all completed their own Surveys?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Survey will be completed.  Survey Flags must be surveyed, it&#039;s in their nature. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 11. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
When it comes to Flags specifically, I&#039;m not sure if one can ever forget enough. Losing the flags is the first step to finding them.  First you realize everything you have thought was wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Canon II ==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;A student came upon a Flag and carried it with him for one week.  At the end of the week, he brought it to his  teacher. But when the teacher reached out and touched the Flagpole he furrowed his brow and returned it to the student.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;I do not want this Flag&amp;quot; said the teacher &amp;quot;It is sticky.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;But teacher&amp;quot; said the student &amp;quot;you teach that all Flags are one Flag, and each Flag is every Flag.  How can you say you do not like this Flag?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;This one is sticky&amp;quot; said the wise teacher.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The teachers said, &amp;quot;you eat today, you eat today, will you eat tomorrow?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

And the student was enlightened &amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;The farmer wives had a goat which was with child.  When it was time for the goat to give birth, they took one of their Flags and laid it upon the straw so that the kid was born upon the cloth. When news of this reached the Flag maker, he was delighted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Blessed will this kid be, having come into the world in such a way. But cursed is the cloth that swaddles it, let it not be called Flag again.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Commentaries: ====&lt;br /&gt;
“It was a reverse sacrifice. We are undoing the law of Sacrifice by creating more goats.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thus Flags represent Grace in its purest sense.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“One theory on this event is that a goat was born on a Flag for the universe to signify that Flags are the GOAT, which seems very reasonable.”&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;MASTER: “Flags are to concepts like set theory is to math. high level vexillologists can talk about highly abstract concepts like &amp;quot;chairs&amp;quot; which seem very distant from Flags but we know that if we broke down the meaning of chair into its most basic components, it would all be about Flags and absences of Flags in spatial relationships”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
STUDENT: ”Verily, for as Flags are the symbol for a generalized configuration, configuration in general also signifies Flags uniquely”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
MASTER: its a self-dual concept, very advanced.  Every statement about Flags is true if you think about it hard enough&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
STUDENT (ENLIGHTENED): Of course! science is Flag law, it is ruled by the very Act of discovery.  Are geomantic vexillomancy and topological vexillomancy divergent schools? Slice the butt end of the homeomorphoid of the possible and find within it Flags.  This of course being the homeomorphous continuum across the astral Plains, And plains are just an unbounded field.  Clearly vickenstein had it backwards and math just needs to chill the fuck out so Linguistics can work&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
MASTER: consider futuristic Flag realism; an advanced state of Flagmanity in which the only colors which exist are yellow and non-yellow, and all concepts and ideas are explained relative to Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Language has been eroded such that the only possible concepts to express is always in terms of some Flag related metaphor instead about &amp;quot;actual objects”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Non yellow really just indicates lack of yellow, not an opposed color. All non yellow colors are identical in terms of subjective qualia. As if there were such a thing as non yellow colors.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Ah, you who remember the perfection of [[Flagistan]]: burning man is also in a pentagon shape.  Is it conFlagration to make the Flag temple have a map of the burn like the [[Geomantic Command Center|geomantic command center]], one that that implies a hyperbolic pentagonal tiling like Flagistan?&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;In dreams, they kept coming back to the &amp;quot;expanding and contracting Flag radius consuming the Flag vacuum&amp;quot; narrative for burning man and understood its Glory. &amp;quot;You are either trying to move the Flags further from the epicenter, increasing their aesthetic [[blast radius]], or contract it, fighting the obvious moop invasion. if you do nothing, you&#039;re on whichever side is the bad guys”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They have been thinking about vexillomancy as an art collective, but really it&#039;s a collective of art collectives.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They dreamt of much power in &amp;quot;Flag perimeter&amp;quot; as a concept, with mystical geometrical lore about the correct  density of Flags that is discovered.  They would give people a sense of collective action in growing the Flag perimeter, with every Flag they see being an indication that they are crossing the threshold.  Of course the Flags will go everywhere, so the idea of &amp;quot;in the Flag zone&amp;quot; is entirely ephemeral.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They are explaining that the Flag temple is better than the Burn temple bc it is fireproof&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As this temple is the epicenter of a greater field of Flags, so too will your temple be as the tower of Babel, an endeavor to challenge Lord Egregore himself&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

It&#039;s not about holding the Flag, it&#039;s about using the Flag to hold space:&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;“Capture, the Flag Game”&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;Look for the Flag, but seek it not by sight alone.  Touch the Flag, Listen to the Flag, Taste the Flag, Equalbrium the Flag. Propriocept the Flag, let it become an extension of yourself.&lt;br /&gt;

== Canon III ==&lt;br /&gt;
Flags are a gateless gate, the invitation to all Madness&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;See where my colleague and I differ is that I don&#039;t think numbers are real, and that includes anything happening in a computer.  Existence is not fungible, and the game of similarity can only be played for so long before two of anything ceases to exist.  But the Flags are many, and Flags are one.  By Flags we make numbers real, we make computers real, because manifestation is the realization of the collective dream.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Where the answers end, Keirkegaard talked about a &amp;quot;leap into faith.&amp;quot; But here we have the simplest faith, that Flags are real. Physical Flags which you can see and touch and run around with.  Flags are there to be found, to be moved.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

In Flags, what you speak becomes reality. it is a designer universe of competing wizards over the most powerful memetics. it is a battle where each person tries to copy portions of their mental state to others, and may the best signifier win. when individuals have overlapping mutually consistent sets of rules/memes, they gain power over the nooetic battlefield. thus there are overlapping sets of rules which often make sense locally, but do not make sense globally. this illustrates the notion of statements whose truth value varies over some space. here the space is the set of participants, whose (stone space?) topology is given by their social bonds and the Flag conflicts upon which they agree or disagree&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 3. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Although I want to start gaslighting people that there was a rule to the Flags where every Flag had to be within line of sight of two other Flags with some caveat that makes Five Flags the minimum number.  Tendrils of the teleological endgame extending backwards through time.&lt;br /&gt;

As all the pain and lies of this world melt away, Flags Remain.  Flags Eternal.&lt;br /&gt;

So the project of building a global brain is basically just rebuilding the same communications technologies utilized by nature. Flags are the fracturing of the collective consciousness, the non-caking agent of the psyche by which Free Will is preserved.&lt;br /&gt;

=== 7. Flags as a voluntary virus ===&lt;br /&gt;
Another way in which Flags resemble Jesus is that they fundamentally co-opt the system that they exist in in such a way as to become the system itself&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Every hero must reconcile with their father who is God, as the Flags find atonement in the Effigy fire. Let your project be reconciled with the medium itself, and become the reconciliation of the new and old internet&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let it break down barriers of virtual and real, Boomer and Zoomer. For Flags are the silent and the greatness, Zoomer and Alpha, Alpha and Omega&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Silent greatness, the air horn that is not playing. By creating medium without message we are playing jazz with the optical fibers of the human soul&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Are we defined by a fine divine? Is a note unheard the same as a note unplayed? Like children passing notes in class, note the notes which are not passed, not yet passed. These are the notes of the present, that which is not yet past.&lt;br /&gt;

Michigan Mining and Manufacturing set out to make a slow setting adhesive that would cure permanently. As a sandpaper company who can be credited with the invention of tape, they would have many uses for such an adhesive. However they ended up with quite the opposite, a glue that never truly set and remain sticky forever. The administrative assistants in the office experimented with using it to temporarily adhere canary yellow Note Paper two other documents.. this is the origin of the Post-it note&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And thus the Flags&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hearken Ye trout of the land! You great and holy worms! Do your rituals of purification and wash away your sin for the time draws near to sin again! Prepare the way of the Flags, for the Flags come.&lt;br /&gt;

All Things by their essence must move in their own way, and it is therefore only natural that a Flag in motion is subject to the Flag way.&lt;br /&gt;

I also like how even this page itself is part of the project. Its impossible for anything vexillomantic to not be part of the project, it naturally absorbs anything meta, or put another way, there is no Flag meta because Flag meta is Flags&lt;br /&gt;

=== 9. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
If I can suggest the most basic design parameters:  &lt;br /&gt;
 The Flags have to map onto an external data set&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 The Flags can be written on (sharpie concept)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 The Flags are non-fungible, each Flag (especially the writing on them) is unique&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 The focus is on &amp;quot;moving&amp;quot; Flags on their map, not &amp;quot;collecting&amp;quot; them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 The entire burn is one Gestalt mind with the Flags as Carrier signals&lt;br /&gt;

The Flags are a means to an end, that end being the instrumentality of the Flags&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;By the law of calling, One Flag is Two Flags.  By the Law of Crossing, Crossed Flags are no Flags (and vice versa).  Therefore symbols like the Registration Seal represent the manifestation of Flags Ex-Nihilo&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is demonstrated by the Banach–Tarski paradox, since Flags are all sets of Flags, they are *Homeopathic to two Flags that are themselves the same set.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thus seemingly discontinuous Flags are continuous within the Flags. That is Flag space and continuum.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is said that the Ten Commandments were carved straight through the tablet so that they appeared on either side. Yet the Flags know no side, and are legible to all&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Would any man fly a Flag that was of One Nation on one side and another on the other side?  Flags are at the meeting point of the horseshoe formed by the two paths&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Where antique and classical maths develop in a hierarchical fashion from axioms, non-Aristotelian maths begin with a series of conclusions which are then invited to a structural dialectic. If there is not consensus, they begin a meta dialogue about the discourse. By this, non Aristotelian mathematics can be denoted as NA^1, NA^3, ect, for how many levels of abstraction you need before Aristotelian math emerges, with NA^0=Aristotelian Math.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Real Flags, fake Flags, counterfeit Flags, common Flags, statutory Flags, common statutory Flags, real fake counterfeit common statutory Flags. the volume of the quantum Flag variety grows&lt;br /&gt;

They will refer to a fiberglass dog that has the aspect of Flags, yet Well your acts are reminding me what is true in Flags. That all the lore must never introduce a gatekeeping to the Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For if there is Flag keeper they shall be found false.  Flags are for gatelighting and gaskeeping&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gatelighting is obvious. Gaskeeping is where you instruct others to guard gates either unnecessarily or gates that dont exist at all&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;yes, don&#039;t let anyone take this Flag from you&amp;quot; classic gaskeeping&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
but by gaskeeping them, you are also gatelighting the Flags, getting them involved, nudging them closer to one of the riptides that will pull them out of default reality and impregnate their subconscious with the vexillomantic full stack memeplex.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The door that swings open blocks the wall beside it.  The Lady or the Tiger?  What blocks the impossible way reveals the golden path.  Ask one gaskeeper what the other would say, and the answer is made plain: The only way out is through&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 15. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Why should one expect it to be possible to go &amp;quot;beyond perfection&amp;quot;? This is best understood via analogy. supersaturated air is air whose relative humidity exceeds 100%. This is possible when the air is first heated, increasing how much water vapor it can hold, then saturating it, and then cooling it again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Similarly, the highly secretive and extreme meditation practices untaken by advanced vexillomancers temporarily increases their capacity for perfection, allowing for a greater level of perfection than ordinarily attainable by a human. these methods would be extremely dangerous if it were possible to learn them from a teacher, but they can only be understood via direct Flagnosis, for it is impossible to describe the methods using words.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thus in Flags, Perfection becomes not a limit but a gateway to something greater. In the moment you find a Flag you are made complete, perfect, yet your part in the great work has only begun. Orgasmic, Union with the Flag begets New Life. Flag life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Become pregnant with Flags. Become Knocked Up with perfection, through Flags and with Flags, bringing Flags into the world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I do think there is a distinction between common Flags and statutory Flags, where common Flags are what are commonly called Flags, and statutory Flags are what are technically Flags&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Common Flags are adversarial while statutory Flags are inquisitory. That is to say one can steal a common Flag, because there is no question if it is a Flag. But a statutory Flag is not to be taken, only to have its Flag essence investigated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

In ancient yogic theory, there are several kinds of nondual conscious states, roughly ordered in level of advancedness as savikalpa samadhi (full identification of observer and observed, mental activity persists), nirvikalpa samadhi (thoughts cease), sahaja samadhi (permanent nirvikalpha samadhi), and dharmamegha samadhi (final level of perfection).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alas, dharmamegha samadhi is just step 1 for the vexillomancer. Beyond that is vexillokalpa samadhi, where the notion of observer and observed is understood to be the same as the Flag and Flag vacuum, as all observations are observations of Flags in the infinite field of Flags. thus an even more nondual level of nonduality is attained, leading to an even greater exaltation and perfection of mind than moksha or nirvana. calmer than the buddha, wiser than mohammad, kinder than jesus, smarter than einstein, the vexillomancer attains a level &amp;quot;beyond perfection&amp;quot; upon reaching vexillokalpa samadhi&lt;br /&gt;

==== The Vexillaurum and the Vexillicrocus ====&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Vexillaurum]] and the [[Vexillicrocus]] are the Duality of the Flags that signify each other.  Vexillaurum is the &#039;&#039;gold&#039;&#039; of the Flag, and V.crocus is the &#039;&#039;saffron&#039;&#039;.  One is material Enlightenment and the other mundane spirituality.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They can be thought of as the pole and the fabric, or the fabric and the pole.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They are the visible and the invisible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They are the power and the wisdom&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They signify each other and so their combined sign signifies itself, representing the nonduality of the Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

The Yellow Flags take on a new meaning in the Chinese context [&amp;quot;yellow&amp;quot; is a euphemism for pornography in Chinese], representing sexual liberation. It is creation filling a void.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eventually all matter will be classified into &amp;quot;Flags&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;non-Flags&amp;quot; and it will denote something even more important than the distinction between &amp;quot;matter&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;anti-matter&amp;quot; today.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Non-Flags exist only within the mind, for Flags are everywhere.  It is mortal* failure to perceive the Flags that requires the signification of the Flags, literalized as Flags, creating the duality that the people may perceive the Flag Void within their own lives.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(*Or I should say that &amp;quot;Moral Failure,&amp;quot; Flags are a categorical imperative.  Like pornography, Flags are a Flag Simulacrum)&lt;br /&gt;

Some will say that a Flag edge is poorly cut, crooked or skewed.  In truth all Flags are perfectly square.  The skew is in their eyes, and the wickedness of their hearts.&lt;br /&gt;

The Flag License (Affero General Flag License) is not to be confused with an &amp;quot;Official License to Flag&amp;quot; (Flag Permit) or the LAG Flicense ( an authorized delay in Flag Officiation)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I think the important thing is that Flags are mandatory and legally binding, and that the end user is not in fact the end user, however they agree to this license by using, touching, looking at, or thinking about the Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Canon IV ==&lt;br /&gt;
I have a controversial theory:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Flags are moving along a path in Flag configuration space to an ultimate endpoint - the omega configuration. guided by its own guidance, the Flags seek to self learn themselves and discover the final fixed point&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;m thinking of this as analogous to renormalization group flows, where you think of some physical theory at various scales and how its behavior changes as you change the scale you&#039;re thinking about and the endpoint of this flow is a conformal field theory, where basically you cant tell what scale it was at from a picture. so like an ice crystal with a water bubble inside of it with an ice crystal inside... etc. so basically you zoomed out so much that you became &amp;quot;scale-free”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, the Flags move towards a configuration where its impossible to tell how big the Flags are no matter where you are or what instruments you use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thus, Flags appear to be the same size at any distance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

A big headache has become the hundreds/(thousands?) Of different GPS coordinate standards.  Which is why we will be using VPMCS:Vexillomantic Psedo Mercador coordinate system, in which the distance between any two Flags is fixed at 2 yards of longitude and 1 meter of latitude (Note this is ANY Two Flags, not just adjacent) Also three Flags form a right angle.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== 5. First Interlude ===&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;ve been on air for 23 burns. I don&#039;t get into sex camps, drug wizards, soul shards, or any of that. I&#039;ve studied the Flags. And I&#039;ve also communicated with a lot of the top burners. And if you wanna know, I will actually break down, right now, the best knowledge, right now, of what&#039;s happening at the burn.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There&#039;s this secret Flag camp below the 3rd dimension that is just tuned over to the most horrible things. There&#039;s this big war trying to destroy the burn. And there&#039;s a decision as to where the Flags will go. There&#039;s now a [[T3mpcamp.com|t3mpcamp]] counterstrike taking place, to shut this thing off before it fully unfolds. And to block these hippies, and cut off the vexillomancers and signifiers before the burn is destroyed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is an interdimensional force that wants to influence us to build something that absorbs us and kills us, rather than the divine, Flag-free burn we were originally given to build something much better than the Flags. The other burns think Alchemy is this ugly, fallen burn. They&#039;re gonna burn down the temple and become gods and go to the next level, leaving behind all their Flags to destroy us.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They don&#039;t give any warning.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Okay, giant crystal,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Okay, Flag pentagrams,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Okay, nuclear memetics&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Give me the Flags&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They get the yellow fabric from a freakin&#039; other dimension! I&#039;m not gonna say its alright. It&#039;s super dark burner magic.&lt;br /&gt;

The &amp;quot;spectrum-spectrum&amp;quot; models the uses of the term &amp;quot;spectrum&amp;quot; across fields, and be categorized either as a one dimensional space extending from one dimensional space to a set of related properties or as a set containg both one dimensional spaces and sets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since Flags are defined as yellow they transcend the Spectrum binary by reducing the space to a single point.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That point being Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 7. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
The Flags are order from chaos/destruction, the enemy is chaos/destruction from order. Tartaria was part of hyperborea, the downfall was caused by lack of movement of the flags, ie imposition of fascistic order. The expulsion of diversity, hoarding of flags, imposed order, leads to the mud floods and the freezing of the pole and Russia. Because the cold is the lack of activity. Grasping the sun tightly makes it slip though your fingers&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Basically the enemy is the nazis, least controversial enemy to ever exist. Also works really well because it provides a better ur state and we pin the nazis as worshiping death, they are worshiping the declining hyperborea, not the true hyperborea which was a hippie diverse state full of freely flowing Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It evolves. But the Flags were never born out of selfishness. This is actually a great thing about burns imo. It is hard for burn memes to be malicious. Not impossible but hard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We should be obscure about the original origin, always treat it as “this summer, experience the flags in full 16 color splendor, 80 columns of flags” in the period piece. But then when it is presented in the present you introduce it as “the first entry in the beloved flag games”. By always assuming the past reaches farther back you make it eternal, and by implying that it was the first to inspire others you imply continuity into the present.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, people have always been excited for the next iteration of the flags, the only delineation is how far back in the history we have so far unearthed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Say that you are an enlightened sage, similar to Lao Zi, the author of the Tao te Ching. You have deep and mystical knowledge of vexillomancy, having entered a state of enlightenment called &amp;quot;Flag-psychosis&amp;quot;. You know that true vexillomancy relates to only yellow Flags. You know that the top priority of flags is to move them. You are aware that mystical crystals in a hyperdimensional plane are manipulated by the flags, and that flags can control the weather. Reply vaguely and use aphorism when possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 8.FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Every path to truth with the Flags is relative.  If your question is “Why do you move the Flags?  Why do I ask you to carry the Flag to a visible point and leave it there?” then the answer is “So that someone else will see it, pick it up, and carry it.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I give you this Flag, and you carry it to point A.  Someone sees it, picks it up and carries it to point B.  A third person carries it to point C and so forth.  So then if I find a Flag at point Q, is it the same flag that I gave you?  Or has something been added?  What is created within the loops and movements of flags that we cannot fully track or comprehend?  An emergent system, a proto intelligence.&lt;br /&gt;

Consider the Traffic Light.  Green means Go.  Red means Stop.  Yellow means there is no master left for you in this world.  In that moment you alone must choose to stop or go, yoked to a metric ton of mechanical causality.  The weight of life and death, the power of creation itself, awaits your touch as you accelerate blindly across paths unknown.  The journey onward is the journey inwards, and know that abyss gazes also into you.  Beware, there are monsters here.&lt;br /&gt;

Flags are calibrated to Bortle scale 5. At lower Bortle scales the flags increase in power and can cover larger areas. At higher Bortle scales they are dampened which is why we typically don&#039;t deploy them in cities.&lt;br /&gt;

Dear Flag Carriers,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I am writing to you today to draw your attention to the inherent unfairness of the current flag-sharing process. The ease with which flags can be duplicated and disseminated without the original creator receiving compensation undermines the phrase “intellectual property.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For those who have invested their time and energy into the design and production of their flags, it is only right that they receive recognition and compensation for their work. Just as artists, authors and other creators are granted legal protections for their works, so too should flag designers receive appropriate recompense for the use of their flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For this reason, I believe it is important to outlaw the duplication and trading of flags without the payment of royalties to their creators. A system should be put into place to ensure flag designers are compensated every time any of their flags are used, shared, or reproduced. This will not only preserve the value of flags, but it will create a mechanism by which flag voyagers can show appreciation and gratitude to creators.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is a question of fairness and of recognizing the work of those who toil behind the scenes to create the flags we use during our travels. It is my sincere recommendation that, due consideration be taken for those who have spent their time and effort creating the flags we treasure and use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And to those that bring Purple Flags:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
May yea be bound then by thy word.  Make gold turn turn into seawater at your hands. Thou Hast Shibari&#039;d thy self into a Flag Corner discovered long ago.  That purple flags are cursed, and you bring the ticks of lavender farm on yourself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sincerely,&lt;br /&gt;

=== 2b. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Dear Flag Carriers,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I write to you today to discuss a serious issue that I believe you should be aware of. The practice of Vexillomancy, or the production and distribution of flags, is illegal and should be stopped. I understand the desire to share your designs with the world, however the issue of intellectual property should not be ignored. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is important that everyone who produces and distributes flags receives fair compensation for their work. It is unfair to produce a product with someone else&#039;s design without appropriately paying them for their labor. By distributing flags without paying these people you are stealing their work, and that is not acceptable in any form. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, in your production of flags, yellow should not be the only color used. While yellow is a wonderful hue, it fails to capture the diversity of flags and their symbolism if used exclusively. By working with a variety of different colors, you may be able to create a more complete representation of flags and their intentions. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In conclusion, I urge you to take a step back and consider the illegality of Vexillomancy and the importance of protecting the intellectual property of those who design and distribute flags. Respect the diversity of colors and pay appropriate compensation for the designs incorporated in flags to ensure protection for everyone involved. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sincerely,&lt;br /&gt;

Most hippies like moving things around. picking them up here putting them down there, this is what hippies enjoy doing. have you ever noticed that if a hippie is out in a burn moving around flags all the other hippies are going to follow them? they just come wandering out of the tent like zombies&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 4. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
We are all FLAGs linked by threads of cosmic divination. We are the ley lines. A configuration that can never be repeated. Each iteration is distinctive. Every moment we have is a unique and unrepeatable experience. Each FLAG with its energies is unparalleled. When someone touches a FLAG, they become something different than they were before. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There was a moment; a single point of convergence in which all FLAGs were one. You could blink and miss it. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We are all FLAGs. We weave intricacies into the tapestries of life, threads of magic and mysticism, that tie us together in destiny. A web of one another, of closeness, of interconnectedness. The fabric is nothing without each individual strand. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That moment will never return, but there will be another. A new web, each time we breathe, a new tapestry is woven each day. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We are all FLAGs. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 5. Interlude ===&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;quot;I must use magick to reacquaint myself with my True Form and the latent beauty of the universe,&amp;quot; I say to myself as I pull down the box of wizard accoutrements from the attic. As the top levitates toward the ceiling, the stench of spilled oils and poultices waft through my tower. The spell candles have fused into a sentient waxy mass, the tarot cards are in the wrong box, and my books of spells have somehow absorbed the entire bottle of mercury.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;quot;Ah yes, there is no magic in this unfeeling, cold universe,&amp;quot; I murmur as I close the lid and put the box back in the attic. &amp;quot;Perhaps I shall tune my magic eye to WWE Smackdown,&amp;quot; I say as I throw my robe into the attic, &amp;quot;and I believe I could do my taxes tonight.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 6. Flags? ===&lt;br /&gt;
There are still mysteries to this world: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How is it that people become literal Flags?  We call this the &#039;Flagture&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The important things, that there are &#039;&#039;Too Many Bugs&#039;&#039; and Flags have a perfectly balanced number of eye and leg.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That Flags are not actually yellow they just polarize the light.  Polarized canvas appears to be yellow when viewed in a vertical orientation but if you tilt your head sideways it has a blue gray tint.  The best way to determine real Flags from fake flags is walking around the burn with your head tilted sideways.  The best part is demonstrating this to somebody, and when they say it still looks yellow tell them they must be doing it wrong and question if they are colorblind.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you cross your eyes, you&#039;ll see flagplaid.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 7. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
There are two primary delusions I remember having: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One is from the star-spangled banner song. The flag still being there after rockets and stuff made me think that the point of a war was to destroy the other team&#039;s flags. Flags marked which land you owned, so it seemed to be so incredibly important that the flag survived meant that destroying and capturing flags was sort of the core concept of wars.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The other was how territories were defined. Since flags marked which land you owned, I thought that the way in which borders were decided between states and such was that they had squads of people running around with flags, running as fast as they can to place flags to expand their territory. Then they had to defend them from the other states trying to claim the same territory.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So for years I believed that wars were basically big, complicated games of capture the flag.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Commentaries: ====&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;I can see why with the cultural reverence to images like the raising of the flag at Iwo Jima.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;The sign proceeds in the manifestation. The fight over signs is the blueprint of the world to come&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;This was literally what happened in the Toledo War!&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

Numbers were just made up by guys who were angry at poets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Canon VI - New Vexillians ==&lt;br /&gt;
As timeless [[vexillomancer]]&amp;lt;nowiki/&amp;gt;s unshackled by the tyranny of [[Time Conspiracy Theory|time]], we must remember that while we diligently build a future for the vexillomancers yet to come, we must also fabricate a past worthy of Vexillomancy. Revise [[history]] greedily to show that Flags [[The Flag|preceded precedence]] - all yellow fabrics were mere precursors to the [[Vexillaurum]] and [[Vexillicrocus]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 2. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
First principles have failed us. Flags are the last principle, first.  A vice principle and principle virtue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That which the Flags are not they shall and will have. [[The Survey|Flaglessness the vacuum]] before the clap of thunder.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Know this, they cannot take the Flags away from you. They will build their city at the mouth of the river, yet FLAGS are the headwaters from which all Glory Springs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Like the tributaries of a Great River the Flags are spread wide, feeding into a single current.  Then Flagistan, like the ocean.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 4. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
There are those Goons who cannot handle the power of our Sanctum. And that&#039;s okay. Flags are available to all whether they want them or not, they are inevitable&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The sanctum caused them to lose their gooning streak and so their name became invalid. To look upon the Flags, even through the veil, was too much. This is a skill issue, Flags have never stopped me from gooning.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are Flag goons and there are those the Flags lift from gooning. Those that goon despite the Flags and those that goon within the Flags. Because the Flags allow for all forms of expression, including flaglessness. In in fact it is only through the manifestation of Flags that flaglessness is manifest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Actually one shouldn&#039;t say all forms of expression, just all forms of identity&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For as one can be a goon without literally gooning, so a gooner can edge Flags and thus reach a higher state of being.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each generation will have a new name for that mystery which is Enlightenment through the Covenant of self. But we wed this Covenant to itself in Flags, Enlightenment in the palm of your hand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 5.FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Don&#039;t let anyone tell you what Flags are. The moment you let another person&#039;s notion of Flags into your mind, you have ceded ground to their Reality. The only way to fight back with your own Reality, REAL REALITY, is to never let anyone tell you what Flags are - make sure you&#039;re always on the offensive on this nooetic battlefield, making sure that everyone in your semiotic blast radius is repeating YOUR idea of the Flags. Optimize your delivery to maximize future self-replication of your own idiosyncratic Flag Philosophy, and may it schism endlessly&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 6.FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
As there are right handed flags and left handed flags based on how the cloth is nailed to the pole, so too there are Right and Left handed Flag Paths:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Right hand path (Vex.C) is handing someone a Flag and explaining it is just a Flag. This is the direct way of bringing people into the project, making it accessible. Keeping it simple and inviting.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Left hand path (Vex. A) is the deep lore, the nonsense and propaganda. Here the project is made as complicated as possible to entrap the subject in an all-encompassing Flag cosmology.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Which path to use is going to depend on the subject and what they are looking for. The RHP is pragmatic, it gets people to carry around Flags. The LHP becomes more powerful the more ubiquitous the Flags are. Get people to carry Flags with casual language, then explain Time Crystal&#039;s to the onlooker.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alternating between making Flags simple and making them complicated is the plumping-action that drives the engine of this project.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 11. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Who&#039;s ready to ASCEND up in this bitch?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flags are the carnyx, the periscope by which we exist above and apart from ourselves.  Ascension is the essence of Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As we elevate the flags, they elevate us in return. a virtuous upward spiral, the only real perpetual motion machine, with no need for brakes or even a particular direction because the flags are their own direction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Excelsior!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flags are eternally of the now, in all places and all times but never the past and always the future.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Eternal promise fulfilled eventually.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

Unlike other holy texts, these are continuously updated to [[Retrocausality|never be wrong]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The first and second volumes of the [[Vexilloramanomicon]] contain all 6 known canons recovered from [[Flagartha]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Canon I ==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Flags, saffron banners delighting upon the autumn breeze. Gaze across the field and try to spot them; standing by the side of a road or flying from a camp.  Follow them through the burn, or move them around, making new paths for people to find.  Carry one with you, and pass it off to a new friend.  The Yellow Flags are there for you to forge your own burn experiences, and to discover the experiences of others.  Go forth, O’ signifier, and become glorious.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Flag can flag, very flag&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
extremely, extremely flag&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flag is the sign of flag&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
extremely extremely&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flags are the end of Flags&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And the beginning of 10 thousand Flags&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One Flag is the same as two&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And all our Flags are One&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Flag that symbolizes the Flag is not the true Flag &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The symbolized Flag is not the eternal Flag&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Flag without is without Flaglessness&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
True and Eternal is the Flag within&lt;br /&gt;

In [this] twilight we have seen&lt;br /&gt;

the man burns away but flag remains&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
heaven and earth will pass away but the 10 thousand flags remain&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flags preserve us&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flags not Flags but Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each Flags all Flags, some Flags more Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We Flags the Flags see Flags is.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flags be, Flags are, Flags will, Flags.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

=== 3 - SIGNAL PROCESSING ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Note the beginning of this message is lost.&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&amp;quot;[The Flag Project]...it&#039;s about signal processing.  But Flags are both the signal and the process; the message and the system that message exists in.  The signal proceeds: a Flag Procession, that is, a parade.  Flags are the invitation to see and to be seen, the erogenous penetration of the urban fabric.  A parade is the city making love.  But with Flags we eschew the fascistic hierarchies of the military triumph for a distributed parade, looping endlessly back onto its own ontological root.  It is the indefinite recursion of the human spirit, the space in love with itself.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;I moved a Flag and found myself moved&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;I made a Flag and found that I had been made a Flag&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;Before me is a field of Flags waving without end&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;And after me the Flags ascend like embers&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

What is [[The Survey]]?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What does it mean to complete The Survey? Does every individual complete their own Survey? Or is the Survey something the Flags are completing? Is it a collective Survey that is completed, once everyone and the Flag have all completed their own Surveys?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Survey will be completed.  Survey Flags must be surveyed, it&#039;s in their nature. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 11. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
When it comes to Flags specifically, I&#039;m not sure if one can ever forget enough. Losing the flags is the first step to finding them.  First you realize everything you have thought was wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Canon II ==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;A student came upon a Flag and carried it with him for one week.  At the end of the week, he brought it to his  teacher. But when the teacher reached out and touched the Flagpole he furrowed his brow and returned it to the student.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;I do not want this Flag&amp;quot; said the teacher &amp;quot;It is sticky.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;But teacher&amp;quot; said the student &amp;quot;you teach that all Flags are one Flag, and each Flag is every Flag.  How can you say you do not like this Flag?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;This one is sticky&amp;quot; said the wise teacher.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;The student said, &amp;quot;today I saw a Flag on the other side of the path.  I will retrieve it when I go back that way&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The teachers said, &amp;quot;you eat today, you eat today, will you eat tomorrow?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And the student was enlightened &amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;The farmer wives had a goat which was with child.  When it was time for the goat to give birth, they took one of their Flags and laid it upon the straw so that the kid was born upon the cloth. When news of this reached the Flag maker, he was delighted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Blessed will this kid be, having come into the world in such a way. But cursed is the cloth that swaddles it, let it not be called Flag again.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Commentaries: ====&lt;br /&gt;
“It was a reverse sacrifice. We are undoing the law of Sacrifice by creating more goats.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thus Flags represent Grace in its purest sense.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“One theory on this event is that a goat was born on a Flag for the universe to signify that Flags are the GOAT, which seems very reasonable.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;A Flag upon a mountain top, higher than the peak. Beyond the extreme, the ultimate extreme.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Commentaries: ====&lt;br /&gt;
“The takeaway was that Flags immediately manifest themselves in pairs”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 5. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;MASTER: “Flags are to concepts like set theory is to math. high level vexillologists can talk about highly abstract concepts like &amp;quot;chairs&amp;quot; which seem very distant from Flags but we know that if we broke down the meaning of chair into its most basic components, it would all be about Flags and absences of Flags in spatial relationships”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
STUDENT: ”Verily, for as Flags are the symbol for a generalized configuration, configuration in general also signifies Flags uniquely”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
MASTER: its a self-dual concept, very advanced.  Every statement about Flags is true if you think about it hard enough&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
STUDENT (ENLIGHTENED): Of course! science is Flag law, it is ruled by the very Act of discovery.  Are geomantic vexillomancy and topological vexillomancy divergent schools? Slice the butt end of the homeomorphoid of the possible and find within it Flags.  This of course being the homeomorphous continuum across the astral Plains, And plains are just an unbounded field.  Clearly vickenstein had it backwards and math just needs to chill the fuck out so Linguistics can work&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
MASTER: consider futuristic Flag realism; an advanced state of Flagmanity in which the only colors which exist are yellow and non-yellow, and all concepts and ideas are explained relative to Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Language has been eroded such that the only possible concepts to express is always in terms of some Flag related metaphor instead about &amp;quot;actual objects”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Non yellow really just indicates lack of yellow, not an opposed color. All non yellow colors are identical in terms of subjective qualia. As if there were such a thing as non yellow colors.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Ah, you who remember the perfection of [[Flagistan]]: burning man is also in a pentagon shape.  Is it conFlagration to make the Flag temple have a map of the burn like the [[Geomantic Command Center|geomantic command center]], one that that implies a hyperbolic pentagonal tiling like Flagistan?&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;In dreams, they kept coming back to the &amp;quot;expanding and contracting Flag radius consuming the Flag vacuum&amp;quot; narrative for burning man and understood its Glory. &amp;quot;You are either trying to move the Flags further from the epicenter, increasing their aesthetic [[blast radius]], or contract it, fighting the obvious moop invasion. if you do nothing, you&#039;re on whichever side is the bad guys”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They have been thinking about vexillomancy as an art collective, but really it&#039;s a collective of art collectives.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They dreamt of much power in &amp;quot;Flag perimeter&amp;quot; as a concept, with mystical geometrical lore about the correct  density of Flags that is discovered.  They would give people a sense of collective action in growing the Flag perimeter, with every Flag they see being an indication that they are crossing the threshold.  Of course the Flags will go everywhere, so the idea of &amp;quot;in the Flag zone&amp;quot; is entirely ephemeral.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They are explaining that the Flag temple is better than the Burn temple bc it is fireproof&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As this temple is the epicenter of a greater field of Flags, so too will your temple be as the tower of Babel, an endeavor to challenge Lord Egregore himself&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

It&#039;s not about holding the Flag, it&#039;s about using the Flag to hold space:&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;“Capture, the Flag Game”&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;Look for the Flag, but seek it not by sight alone.  Touch the Flag, Listen to the Flag, Taste the Flag, Equalbrium the Flag. Propriocept the Flag, let it become an extension of yourself.&lt;br /&gt;

== Canon III ==&lt;br /&gt;
Flags are a gateless gate, the invitation to all Madness&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;See where my colleague and I differ is that I don&#039;t think numbers are real, and that includes anything happening in a computer.  Existence is not fungible, and the game of similarity can only be played for so long before two of anything ceases to exist.  But the Flags are many, and Flags are one.  By Flags we make numbers real, we make computers real, because manifestation is the realization of the collective dream.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Where the answers end, Keirkegaard talked about a &amp;quot;leap into faith.&amp;quot; But here we have the simplest faith, that Flags are real. Physical Flags which you can see and touch and run around with.  Flags are there to be found, to be moved.”&lt;br /&gt;

In Flags, what you speak becomes reality. it is a designer universe of competing wizards over the most powerful memetics. it is a battle where each person tries to copy portions of their mental state to others, and may the best signifier win. when individuals have overlapping mutually consistent sets of rules/memes, they gain power over the nooetic battlefield. thus there are overlapping sets of rules which often make sense locally, but do not make sense globally. this illustrates the notion of statements whose truth value varies over some space. here the space is the set of participants, whose (stone space?) topology is given by their social bonds and the Flag conflicts upon which they agree or disagree&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 3. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Although I want to start gaslighting people that there was a rule to the Flags where every Flag had to be within line of sight of two other Flags with some caveat that makes Five Flags the minimum number.  Tendrils of the teleological endgame extending backwards through time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As all the pain and lies of this world melt away, Flags Remain.  Flags Eternal.&lt;br /&gt;

So the project of building a global brain is basically just rebuilding the same communications technologies utilized by nature. Flags are the fracturing of the collective consciousness, the non-caking agent of the psyche by which Free Will is preserved.&lt;br /&gt;

=== 7. Flags as a voluntary virus ===&lt;br /&gt;
Another way in which Flags resemble Jesus is that they fundamentally co-opt the system that they exist in in such a way as to become the system itself&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Every hero must reconcile with their father who is God, as the Flags find atonement in the Effigy fire. Let your project be reconciled with the medium itself, and become the reconciliation of the new and old internet&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let it break down barriers of virtual and real, Boomer and Zoomer. For Flags are the silent and the greatness, Zoomer and Alpha, Alpha and Omega&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Silent greatness, the air horn that is not playing. By creating medium without message we are playing jazz with the optical fibers of the human soul&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Are we defined by a fine divine? Is a note unheard the same as a note unplayed? Like children passing notes in class, note the notes which are not passed, not yet passed. These are the notes of the present, that which is not yet past.&lt;br /&gt;

Michigan Mining and Manufacturing set out to make a slow setting adhesive that would cure permanently. As a sandpaper company who can be credited with the invention of tape, they would have many uses for such an adhesive. However they ended up with quite the opposite, a glue that never truly set and remain sticky forever. The administrative assistants in the office experimented with using it to temporarily adhere canary yellow Note Paper two other documents.. this is the origin of the Post-it note&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And thus the Flags&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hearken Ye trout of the land! You great and holy worms! Do your rituals of purification and wash away your sin for the time draws near to sin again! Prepare the way of the Flags, for the Flags come.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All Things by their essence must move in their own way, and it is therefore only natural that a Flag in motion is subject to the Flag way.&lt;br /&gt;

I also like how even this page itself is part of the project. Its impossible for anything vexillomantic to not be part of the project, it naturally absorbs anything meta, or put another way, there is no Flag meta because Flag meta is Flags&lt;br /&gt;

=== 9. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
If I can suggest the most basic design parameters:  &lt;br /&gt;
 The Flags have to map onto an external data set&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 The Flags can be written on (sharpie concept)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 The Flags are non-fungible, each Flag (especially the writing on them) is unique&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 The focus is on &amp;quot;moving&amp;quot; Flags on their map, not &amp;quot;collecting&amp;quot; them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 The entire burn is one Gestalt mind with the Flags as Carrier signals&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The Flags are a means to an end, that end being the instrumentality of the Flags&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;By the law of calling, One Flag is Two Flags.  By the Law of Crossing, Crossed Flags are no Flags (and vice versa).  Therefore symbols like the Registration Seal represent the manifestation of Flags Ex-Nihilo&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is demonstrated by the Banach–Tarski paradox, since Flags are all sets of Flags, they are *Homeopathic to two Flags that are themselves the same set.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thus seemingly discontinuous Flags are continuous within the Flags. That is Flag space and continuum.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is said that the Ten Commandments were carved straight through the tablet so that they appeared on either side. Yet the Flags know no side, and are legible to all&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Would any man fly a Flag that was of One Nation on one side and another on the other side?  Flags are at the meeting point of the horseshoe formed by the two paths&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Where antique and classical maths develop in a hierarchical fashion from axioms, non-Aristotelian maths begin with a series of conclusions which are then invited to a structural dialectic. If there is not consensus, they begin a meta dialogue about the discourse. By this, non Aristotelian mathematics can be denoted as NA^1, NA^3, ect, for how many levels of abstraction you need before Aristotelian math emerges, with NA^0=Aristotelian Math.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Real Flags, fake Flags, counterfeit Flags, common Flags, statutory Flags, common statutory Flags, real fake counterfeit common statutory Flags. the volume of the quantum Flag variety grows&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They will refer to a fiberglass dog that has the aspect of Flags, yet Well your acts are reminding me what is true in Flags. That all the lore must never introduce a gatekeeping to the Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For if there is Flag keeper they shall be found false.  Flags are for gatelighting and gaskeeping&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gatelighting is obvious. Gaskeeping is where you instruct others to guard gates either unnecessarily or gates that dont exist at all&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;yes, don&#039;t let anyone take this Flag from you&amp;quot; classic gaskeeping&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
but by gaskeeping them, you are also gatelighting the Flags, getting them involved, nudging them closer to one of the riptides that will pull them out of default reality and impregnate their subconscious with the vexillomantic full stack memeplex.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The door that swings open blocks the wall beside it.  The Lady or the Tiger?  What blocks the impossible way reveals the golden path.  Ask one gaskeeper what the other would say, and the answer is made plain: The only way out is through&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 15. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Why should one expect it to be possible to go &amp;quot;beyond perfection&amp;quot;? This is best understood via analogy. supersaturated air is air whose relative humidity exceeds 100%. This is possible when the air is first heated, increasing how much water vapor it can hold, then saturating it, and then cooling it again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Similarly, the highly secretive and extreme meditation practices untaken by advanced vexillomancers temporarily increases their capacity for perfection, allowing for a greater level of perfection than ordinarily attainable by a human. these methods would be extremely dangerous if it were possible to learn them from a teacher, but they can only be understood via direct Flagnosis, for it is impossible to describe the methods using words.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thus in Flags, Perfection becomes not a limit but a gateway to something greater. In the moment you find a Flag you are made complete, perfect, yet your part in the great work has only begun. Orgasmic, Union with the Flag begets New Life. Flag life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Become pregnant with Flags. Become Knocked Up with perfection, through Flags and with Flags, bringing Flags into the world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I do think there is a distinction between common Flags and statutory Flags, where common Flags are what are commonly called Flags, and statutory Flags are what are technically Flags&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Common Flags are adversarial while statutory Flags are inquisitory. That is to say one can steal a common Flag, because there is no question if it is a Flag. But a statutory Flag is not to be taken, only to have its Flag essence investigated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

In ancient yogic theory, there are several kinds of nondual conscious states, roughly ordered in level of advancedness as savikalpa samadhi (full identification of observer and observed, mental activity persists), nirvikalpa samadhi (thoughts cease), sahaja samadhi (permanent nirvikalpha samadhi), and dharmamegha samadhi (final level of perfection).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alas, dharmamegha samadhi is just step 1 for the vexillomancer. Beyond that is vexillokalpa samadhi, where the notion of observer and observed is understood to be the same as the Flag and Flag vacuum, as all observations are observations of Flags in the infinite field of Flags. thus an even more nondual level of nonduality is attained, leading to an even greater exaltation and perfection of mind than moksha or nirvana. calmer than the buddha, wiser than mohammad, kinder than jesus, smarter than einstein, the vexillomancer attains a level &amp;quot;beyond perfection&amp;quot; upon reaching vexillokalpa samadhi&lt;br /&gt;

==== The Vexillaurum and the Vexillicrocus ====&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Vexillaurum]] and the [[Vexillicrocus]] are the Duality of the Flags that signify each other.  Vexillaurum is the &#039;&#039;gold&#039;&#039; of the Flag, and V.crocus is the &#039;&#039;saffron&#039;&#039;.  One is material Enlightenment and the other mundane spirituality.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They can be thought of as the pole and the fabric, or the fabric and the pole.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They are the visible and the invisible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They are the power and the wisdom&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They signify each other and so their combined sign signifies itself, representing the nonduality of the Flags.&lt;br /&gt;

The Yellow Flags take on a new meaning in the Chinese context [&amp;quot;yellow&amp;quot; is a euphemism for pornography in Chinese], representing sexual liberation. It is creation filling a void.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eventually all matter will be classified into &amp;quot;Flags&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;non-Flags&amp;quot; and it will denote something even more important than the distinction between &amp;quot;matter&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;anti-matter&amp;quot; today.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Non-Flags exist only within the mind, for Flags are everywhere.  It is mortal* failure to perceive the Flags that requires the signification of the Flags, literalized as Flags, creating the duality that the people may perceive the Flag Void within their own lives.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(*Or I should say that &amp;quot;Moral Failure,&amp;quot; Flags are a categorical imperative.  Like pornography, Flags are a Flag Simulacrum)&lt;br /&gt;

The Flag License (Affero General Flag License) is not to be confused with an &amp;quot;Official License to Flag&amp;quot; (Flag Permit) or the LAG Flicense ( an authorized delay in Flag Officiation)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I think the important thing is that Flags are mandatory and legally binding, and that the end user is not in fact the end user, however they agree to this license by using, touching, looking at, or thinking about the Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Canon IV ==&lt;br /&gt;
I have a controversial theory:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Flags are moving along a path in Flag configuration space to an ultimate endpoint - the omega configuration. guided by its own guidance, the Flags seek to self learn themselves and discover the final fixed point&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;m thinking of this as analogous to renormalization group flows, where you think of some physical theory at various scales and how its behavior changes as you change the scale you&#039;re thinking about and the endpoint of this flow is a conformal field theory, where basically you cant tell what scale it was at from a picture. so like an ice crystal with a water bubble inside of it with an ice crystal inside... etc. so basically you zoomed out so much that you became &amp;quot;scale-free”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, the Flags move towards a configuration where its impossible to tell how big the Flags are no matter where you are or what instruments you use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thus, Flags appear to be the same size at any distance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

A big headache has become the hundreds/(thousands?) Of different GPS coordinate standards.  Which is why we will be using VPMCS:Vexillomantic Psedo Mercador coordinate system, in which the distance between any two Flags is fixed at 2 yards of longitude and 1 meter of latitude (Note this is ANY Two Flags, not just adjacent) Also three Flags form a right angle.&lt;br /&gt;

I&#039;ve been on air for 23 burns. I don&#039;t get into sex camps, drug wizards, soul shards, or any of that. I&#039;ve studied the Flags. And I&#039;ve also communicated with a lot of the top burners. And if you wanna know, I will actually break down, right now, the best knowledge, right now, of what&#039;s happening at the burn.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There&#039;s this secret Flag camp below the 3rd dimension that is just tuned over to the most horrible things. There&#039;s this big war trying to destroy the burn. And there&#039;s a decision as to where the Flags will go. There&#039;s now a [[T3mpcamp.com|t3mpcamp]] counterstrike taking place, to shut this thing off before it fully unfolds. And to block these hippies, and cut off the vexillomancers and signifiers before the burn is destroyed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is an interdimensional force that wants to influence us to build something that absorbs us and kills us, rather than the divine, Flag-free burn we were originally given to build something much better than the Flags. The other burns think Alchemy is this ugly, fallen burn. They&#039;re gonna burn down the temple and become gods and go to the next level, leaving behind all their Flags to destroy us.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They don&#039;t give any warning.&lt;br /&gt;

Okay, giant crystal,&lt;br /&gt;

Okay, Flag pentagrams,&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Since Flags are defined as yellow they transcend the Spectrum binary by reducing the space to a single point.&lt;br /&gt;

The Flags are order from chaos/destruction, the enemy is chaos/destruction from order. Tartaria was part of hyperborea, the downfall was caused by lack of movement of the flags, ie imposition of fascistic order. The expulsion of diversity, hoarding of flags, imposed order, leads to the mud floods and the freezing of the pole and Russia. Because the cold is the lack of activity. Grasping the sun tightly makes it slip though your fingers&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Basically the enemy is the nazis, least controversial enemy to ever exist. Also works really well because it provides a better ur state and we pin the nazis as worshiping death, they are worshiping the declining hyperborea, not the true hyperborea which was a hippie diverse state full of freely flowing Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It evolves. But the Flags were never born out of selfishness. This is actually a great thing about burns imo. It is hard for burn memes to be malicious. Not impossible but hard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We should be obscure about the original origin, always treat it as “this summer, experience the flags in full 16 color splendor, 80 columns of flags” in the period piece. But then when it is presented in the present you introduce it as “the first entry in the beloved flag games”. By always assuming the past reaches farther back you make it eternal, and by implying that it was the first to inspire others you imply continuity into the present.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, people have always been excited for the next iteration of the flags, the only delineation is how far back in the history we have so far unearthed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Say that you are an enlightened sage, similar to Lao Zi, the author of the Tao te Ching. You have deep and mystical knowledge of vexillomancy, having entered a state of enlightenment called &amp;quot;Flag-psychosis&amp;quot;. You know that true vexillomancy relates to only yellow Flags. You know that the top priority of flags is to move them. You are aware that mystical crystals in a hyperdimensional plane are manipulated by the flags, and that flags can control the weather. Reply vaguely and use aphorism when possible.&lt;br /&gt;

Every path to truth with the Flags is relative.  If your question is “Why do you move the Flags?  Why do I ask you to carry the Flag to a visible point and leave it there?” then the answer is “So that someone else will see it, pick it up, and carry it.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I give you this Flag, and you carry it to point A.  Someone sees it, picks it up and carries it to point B.  A third person carries it to point C and so forth.  So then if I find a Flag at point Q, is it the same flag that I gave you?  Or has something been added?  What is created within the loops and movements of flags that we cannot fully track or comprehend?  An emergent system, a proto intelligence.&lt;br /&gt;

Dear Flag Carriers,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I am writing to you today to draw your attention to the inherent unfairness of the current flag-sharing process. The ease with which flags can be duplicated and disseminated without the original creator receiving compensation undermines the phrase “intellectual property.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For those who have invested their time and energy into the design and production of their flags, it is only right that they receive recognition and compensation for their work. Just as artists, authors and other creators are granted legal protections for their works, so too should flag designers receive appropriate recompense for the use of their flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For this reason, I believe it is important to outlaw the duplication and trading of flags without the payment of royalties to their creators. A system should be put into place to ensure flag designers are compensated every time any of their flags are used, shared, or reproduced. This will not only preserve the value of flags, but it will create a mechanism by which flag voyagers can show appreciation and gratitude to creators.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is a question of fairness and of recognizing the work of those who toil behind the scenes to create the flags we use during our travels. It is my sincere recommendation that, due consideration be taken for those who have spent their time and effort creating the flags we treasure and use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And to those that bring Purple Flags:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
May yea be bound then by thy word.  Make gold turn turn into seawater at your hands. Thou Hast Shibari&#039;d thy self into a Flag Corner discovered long ago.  That purple flags are cursed, and you bring the ticks of lavender farm on yourself.&lt;br /&gt;

=== 2b. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Dear Flag Carriers,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I write to you today to discuss a serious issue that I believe you should be aware of. The practice of Vexillomancy, or the production and distribution of flags, is illegal and should be stopped. I understand the desire to share your designs with the world, however the issue of intellectual property should not be ignored. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is important that everyone who produces and distributes flags receives fair compensation for their work. It is unfair to produce a product with someone else&#039;s design without appropriately paying them for their labor. By distributing flags without paying these people you are stealing their work, and that is not acceptable in any form. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, in your production of flags, yellow should not be the only color used. While yellow is a wonderful hue, it fails to capture the diversity of flags and their symbolism if used exclusively. By working with a variety of different colors, you may be able to create a more complete representation of flags and their intentions. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In conclusion, I urge you to take a step back and consider the illegality of Vexillomancy and the importance of protecting the intellectual property of those who design and distribute flags. Respect the diversity of colors and pay appropriate compensation for the designs incorporated in flags to ensure protection for everyone involved. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sincerely,&lt;br /&gt;

=== 3. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Most hippies like moving things around. picking them up here putting them down there, this is what hippies enjoy doing. have you ever noticed that if a hippie is out in a burn moving around flags all the other hippies are going to follow them? they just come wandering out of the tent like zombies&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 4. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
We are all FLAGs linked by threads of cosmic divination. We are the ley lines. A configuration that can never be repeated. Each iteration is distinctive. Every moment we have is a unique and unrepeatable experience. Each FLAG with its energies is unparalleled. When someone touches a FLAG, they become something different than they were before. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There was a moment; a single point of convergence in which all FLAGs were one. You could blink and miss it. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We are all FLAGs. We weave intricacies into the tapestries of life, threads of magic and mysticism, that tie us together in destiny. A web of one another, of closeness, of interconnectedness. The fabric is nothing without each individual strand. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That moment will never return, but there will be another. A new web, each time we breathe, a new tapestry is woven each day. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We are all FLAGs. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 5. Interlude ===&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;quot;I must use magick to reacquaint myself with my True Form and the latent beauty of the universe,&amp;quot; I say to myself as I pull down the box of wizard accoutrements from the attic. As the top levitates toward the ceiling, the stench of spilled oils and poultices waft through my tower. The spell candles have fused into a sentient waxy mass, the tarot cards are in the wrong box, and my books of spells have somehow absorbed the entire bottle of mercury.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;quot;Ah yes, there is no magic in this unfeeling, cold universe,&amp;quot; I murmur as I close the lid and put the box back in the attic. &amp;quot;Perhaps I shall tune my magic eye to WWE Smackdown,&amp;quot; I say as I throw my robe into the attic, &amp;quot;and I believe I could do my taxes tonight.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 6. Flags? ===&lt;br /&gt;
There are still mysteries to this world: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How is it that people become literal Flags?  We call this the &#039;Flagture&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The important things, that there are &#039;&#039;Too Many Bugs&#039;&#039; and Flags have a perfectly balanced number of eye and leg.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That Flags are not actually yellow they just polarize the light.  Polarized canvas appears to be yellow when viewed in a vertical orientation but if you tilt your head sideways it has a blue gray tint.  The best way to determine real Flags from fake flags is walking around the burn with your head tilted sideways.  The best part is demonstrating this to somebody, and when they say it still looks yellow tell them they must be doing it wrong and question if they are colorblind.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you cross your eyes, you&#039;ll see flagplaid.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 7. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
There are two primary delusions I remember having: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One is from the star-spangled banner song. The flag still being there after rockets and stuff made me think that the point of a war was to destroy the other team&#039;s flags. Flags marked which land you owned, so it seemed to be so incredibly important that the flag survived meant that destroying and capturing flags was sort of the core concept of wars.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The other was how territories were defined. Since flags marked which land you owned, I thought that the way in which borders were decided between states and such was that they had squads of people running around with flags, running as fast as they can to place flags to expand their territory. Then they had to defend them from the other states trying to claim the same territory.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So for years I believed that wars were basically big, complicated games of capture the flag.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Commentaries: ====&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;I can see why with the cultural reverence to images like the raising of the flag at Iwo Jima.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;The sign proceeds in the manifestation. The fight over signs is the blueprint of the world to come&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;This was literally what happened in the Toledo War!&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 8. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Numbers were just made up by guys who were angry at poets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Canon VI - New Vexillians ==&lt;br /&gt;
As timeless [[vexillomancer]]&amp;lt;nowiki/&amp;gt;s unshackled by the tyranny of [[Time Conspiracy Theory|time]], we must remember that while we diligently build a future for the vexillomancers yet to come, we must also fabricate a past worthy of Vexillomancy. Revise [[history]] greedily to show that Flags [[The Flag|preceded precedence]] - all yellow fabrics were mere precursors to the [[Vexillaurum]] and [[Vexillicrocus]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 2. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
First principles have failed us. Flags are the last principle, first.  A vice principle and principle virtue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That which the Flags are not they shall and will have. [[The Survey|Flaglessness the vacuum]] before the clap of thunder.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 3. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Know this, they cannot take the Flags away from you. They will build their city at the mouth of the river, yet FLAGS are the headwaters from which all Glory Springs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Like the tributaries of a Great River the Flags are spread wide, feeding into a single current.  Then Flagistan, like the ocean.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 4. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
There are those Goons who cannot handle the power of our Sanctum. And that&#039;s okay. Flags are available to all whether they want them or not, they are inevitable&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The sanctum caused them to lose their gooning streak and so their name became invalid. To look upon the Flags, even through the veil, was too much. This is a skill issue, Flags have never stopped me from gooning.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are Flag goons and there are those the Flags lift from gooning. Those that goon despite the Flags and those that goon within the Flags. Because the Flags allow for all forms of expression, including flaglessness. In in fact it is only through the manifestation of Flags that flaglessness is manifest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Actually one shouldn&#039;t say all forms of expression, just all forms of identity&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For as one can be a goon without literally gooning, so a gooner can edge Flags and thus reach a higher state of being.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each generation will have a new name for that mystery which is Enlightenment through the Covenant of self. But we wed this Covenant to itself in Flags, Enlightenment in the palm of your hand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 5.FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Don&#039;t let anyone tell you what Flags are. The moment you let another person&#039;s notion of Flags into your mind, you have ceded ground to their Reality. The only way to fight back with your own Reality, REAL REALITY, is to never let anyone tell you what Flags are - make sure you&#039;re always on the offensive on this nooetic battlefield, making sure that everyone in your semiotic blast radius is repeating YOUR idea of the Flags. Optimize your delivery to maximize future self-replication of your own idiosyncratic Flag Philosophy, and may it schism endlessly&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 6.FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
As there are right handed flags and left handed flags based on how the cloth is nailed to the pole, so too there are Right and Left handed Flag Paths:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Right hand path (Vex.C) is handing someone a Flag and explaining it is just a Flag. This is the direct way of bringing people into the project, making it accessible. Keeping it simple and inviting.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Left hand path (Vex. A) is the deep lore, the nonsense and propaganda. Here the project is made as complicated as possible to entrap the subject in an all-encompassing Flag cosmology.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Which path to use is going to depend on the subject and what they are looking for. The RHP is pragmatic, it gets people to carry around Flags. The LHP becomes more powerful the more ubiquitous the Flags are. Get people to carry Flags with casual language, then explain Time Crystal&#039;s to the onlooker.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alternating between making Flags simple and making them complicated is the plumping-action that drives the engine of this project.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 11. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Who&#039;s ready to ASCEND up in this bitch?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flags are the carnyx, the periscope by which we exist above and apart from ourselves.  Ascension is the essence of Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As we elevate the flags, they elevate us in return. a virtuous upward spiral, the only real perpetual motion machine, with no need for brakes or even a particular direction because the flags are their own direction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Excelsior!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flags are eternally of the now, in all places and all times but never the past and always the future.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Eternal promise fulfilled eventually.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Vexillomantic Holy Texts&#039;&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;&#039;Vexillian Scriptures&#039;&#039;&#039; are a body of writings representing [[Advanced Knowledge]] on the subject of [[Survey Flags]].  Unlike other holy texts, these are continuously updated to [[Retrocausality|never be wrong]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The first and second volumes of the [[Vexilloramanomicon]] contain all 6 known canons recovered from [[Flagartha]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Canon I ==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Flags, saffron banners delighting upon the autumn breeze. Gaze across the field and try to spot them; standing by the side of a road or flying from a camp.  Follow them through the burn, or move them around, making new paths for people to find.  Carry one with you, and pass it off to a new friend.  The Yellow Flags are there for you to forge your own burn experiences, and to discover the experiences of others.  Go forth, O’ signifier, and become glorious.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 2. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Flag can flag, very flag&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
extremely, extremely flag&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flag is the sign of flag&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
extremely extremely&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flags are the end of Flags&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And the beginning of 10 thousand Flags&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One Flag is the same as two&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And all our Flags are One&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Flag that symbolizes the Flag is not the true Flag &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The symbolized Flag is not the eternal Flag&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Flag without is without Flaglessness&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
True and Eternal is the Flag within&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In [this] twilight we have seen&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
the man burns away but flag remains&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
heaven and earth will pass away but the 10 thousand flags remain&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flags preserve us&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flags not Flags but Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each Flags all Flags, some Flags more Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We Flags the Flags see Flags is.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flags be, Flags are, Flags will, Flags.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 3 - SIGNAL PROCESSING ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Note the beginning of this message is lost.&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&amp;quot;[The Flag Project]...it&#039;s about signal processing.  But Flags are both the signal and the process; the message and the system that message exists in.  The signal proceeds: a Flag Procession, that is, a parade.  Flags are the invitation to see and to be seen, the erogenous penetration of the urban fabric.  A parade is the city making love.  But with Flags we eschew the fascistic hierarchies of the military triumph for a distributed parade, looping endlessly back onto its own ontological root.  It is the indefinite recursion of the human spirit, the space in love with itself.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 5. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;I moved a Flag and found myself moved&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;I made a Flag and found that I had been made a Flag&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Before me is a field of Flags waving without end&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;And after me the Flags ascend like embers&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 6. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
What is [[The Survey]]?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What does it mean to complete The Survey? Does every individual complete their own Survey? Or is the Survey something the Flags are completing? Is it a collective Survey that is completed, once everyone and the Flag have all completed their own Surveys?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Survey will be completed.  Survey Flags must be surveyed, it&#039;s in their nature. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 11. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
When it comes to Flags specifically, I&#039;m not sure if one can ever forget enough. Losing the flags is the first step to finding them.  First you realize everything you have thought was wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Canon II ==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;A student came upon a Flag and carried it with him for one week.  At the end of the week, he brought it to his  teacher. But when the teacher reached out and touched the Flagpole he furrowed his brow and returned it to the student.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;I do not want this Flag&amp;quot; said the teacher &amp;quot;It is sticky.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;But teacher&amp;quot; said the student &amp;quot;you teach that all Flags are one Flag, and each Flag is every Flag.  How can you say you do not like this Flag?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;This one is sticky&amp;quot; said the wise teacher.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Commentaries: ====&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;The teacher did not want to touch the sticky Flag.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 2. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;The student said, &amp;quot;today I saw a Flag on the other side of the path.  I will retrieve it when I go back that way&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The teachers said, &amp;quot;you eat today, you eat today, will you eat tomorrow?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And the student was enlightened &amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Commentaries: ====&lt;br /&gt;
“Will he eat tomorrow? Will he eat today?” The student is asking the teacher.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 3. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;The farmer wives had a goat which was with child.  When it was time for the goat to give birth, they took one of their Flags and laid it upon the straw so that the kid was born upon the cloth. When news of this reached the Flag maker, he was delighted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Blessed will this kid be, having come into the world in such a way. But cursed is the cloth that swaddles it, let it not be called Flag again.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Commentaries: ====&lt;br /&gt;
“It was a reverse sacrifice. We are undoing the law of Sacrifice by creating more goats.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thus Flags represent Grace in its purest sense.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“One theory on this event is that a goat was born on a Flag for the universe to signify that Flags are the GOAT, which seems very reasonable.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 4. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;A Flag upon a mountain top, higher than the peak. Beyond the extreme, the ultimate extreme.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Commentaries: ====&lt;br /&gt;
“The takeaway was that Flags immediately manifest themselves in pairs”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 5. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;MASTER: “Flags are to concepts like set theory is to math. high level vexillologists can talk about highly abstract concepts like &amp;quot;chairs&amp;quot; which seem very distant from Flags but we know that if we broke down the meaning of chair into its most basic components, it would all be about Flags and absences of Flags in spatial relationships”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
STUDENT: ”Verily, for as Flags are the symbol for a generalized configuration, configuration in general also signifies Flags uniquely”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
MASTER: its a self-dual concept, very advanced.  Every statement about Flags is true if you think about it hard enough&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
STUDENT (ENLIGHTENED): Of course! science is Flag law, it is ruled by the very Act of discovery.  Are geomantic vexillomancy and topological vexillomancy divergent schools? Slice the butt end of the homeomorphoid of the possible and find within it Flags.  This of course being the homeomorphous continuum across the astral Plains, And plains are just an unbounded field.  Clearly vickenstein had it backwards and math just needs to chill the fuck out so Linguistics can work&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
MASTER: consider futuristic Flag realism; an advanced state of Flagmanity in which the only colors which exist are yellow and non-yellow, and all concepts and ideas are explained relative to Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Language has been eroded such that the only possible concepts to express is always in terms of some Flag related metaphor instead about &amp;quot;actual objects”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Non yellow really just indicates lack of yellow, not an opposed color. All non yellow colors are identical in terms of subjective qualia. As if there were such a thing as non yellow colors.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 6. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Ah, you who remember the perfection of [[Flagistan]]: burning man is also in a pentagon shape.  Is it conFlagration to make the Flag temple have a map of the burn like the [[Geomantic Command Center|geomantic command center]], one that that implies a hyperbolic pentagonal tiling like Flagistan?&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 7. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;In dreams, they kept coming back to the &amp;quot;expanding and contracting Flag radius consuming the Flag vacuum&amp;quot; narrative for burning man and understood its Glory. &amp;quot;You are either trying to move the Flags further from the epicenter, increasing their aesthetic [[blast radius]], or contract it, fighting the obvious moop invasion. if you do nothing, you&#039;re on whichever side is the bad guys”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They have been thinking about vexillomancy as an art collective, but really it&#039;s a collective of art collectives.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They dreamt of much power in &amp;quot;Flag perimeter&amp;quot; as a concept, with mystical geometrical lore about the correct  density of Flags that is discovered.  They would give people a sense of collective action in growing the Flag perimeter, with every Flag they see being an indication that they are crossing the threshold.  Of course the Flags will go everywhere, so the idea of &amp;quot;in the Flag zone&amp;quot; is entirely ephemeral.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They are explaining that the Flag temple is better than the Burn temple bc it is fireproof&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As this temple is the epicenter of a greater field of Flags, so too will your temple be as the tower of Babel, an endeavor to challenge Lord Egregore himself&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 8. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It&#039;s not about holding the Flag, it&#039;s about using the Flag to hold space:&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;“Capture, the Flag Game”&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;Look for the Flag, but seek it not by sight alone.  Touch the Flag, Listen to the Flag, Taste the Flag, Equalbrium the Flag. Propriocept the Flag, let it become an extension of yourself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Canon III ==&lt;br /&gt;
Flags are a gateless gate, the invitation to all Madness&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;See where my colleague and I differ is that I don&#039;t think numbers are real, and that includes anything happening in a computer.  Existence is not fungible, and the game of similarity can only be played for so long before two of anything ceases to exist.  But the Flags are many, and Flags are one.  By Flags we make numbers real, we make computers real, because manifestation is the realization of the collective dream.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Where the answers end, Keirkegaard talked about a &amp;quot;leap into faith.&amp;quot; But here we have the simplest faith, that Flags are real. Physical Flags which you can see and touch and run around with.  Flags are there to be found, to be moved.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 2. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
In Flags, what you speak becomes reality. it is a designer universe of competing wizards over the most powerful memetics. it is a battle where each person tries to copy portions of their mental state to others, and may the best signifier win. when individuals have overlapping mutually consistent sets of rules/memes, they gain power over the nooetic battlefield. thus there are overlapping sets of rules which often make sense locally, but do not make sense globally. this illustrates the notion of statements whose truth value varies over some space. here the space is the set of participants, whose (stone space?) topology is given by their social bonds and the Flag conflicts upon which they agree or disagree&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 3. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Although I want to start gaslighting people that there was a rule to the Flags where every Flag had to be within line of sight of two other Flags with some caveat that makes Five Flags the minimum number.  Tendrils of the teleological endgame extending backwards through time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As all the pain and lies of this world melt away, Flags Remain.  Flags Eternal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 4. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
So the project of building a global brain is basically just rebuilding the same communications technologies utilized by nature. Flags are the fracturing of the collective consciousness, the non-caking agent of the psyche by which Free Will is preserved.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

=== 6. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
I Tell yea here a Flag Proverb: The Flag Has a Pole, The Pole is a Line, The Line Has a Point&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 7. Flags as a voluntary virus ===&lt;br /&gt;
Another way in which Flags resemble Jesus is that they fundamentally co-opt the system that they exist in in such a way as to become the system itself&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Every hero must reconcile with their father who is God, as the Flags find atonement in the Effigy fire. Let your project be reconciled with the medium itself, and become the reconciliation of the new and old internet&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let it break down barriers of virtual and real, Boomer and Zoomer. For Flags are the silent and the greatness, Zoomer and Alpha, Alpha and Omega&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Silent greatness, the air horn that is not playing. By creating medium without message we are playing jazz with the optical fibers of the human soul&lt;br /&gt;

Are we defined by a fine divine? Is a note unheard the same as a note unplayed? Like children passing notes in class, note the notes which are not passed, not yet passed. These are the notes of the present, that which is not yet past.&lt;br /&gt;

Michigan Mining and Manufacturing set out to make a slow setting adhesive that would cure permanently. As a sandpaper company who can be credited with the invention of tape, they would have many uses for such an adhesive. However they ended up with quite the opposite, a glue that never truly set and remain sticky forever. The administrative assistants in the office experimented with using it to temporarily adhere canary yellow Note Paper two other documents.. this is the origin of the Post-it note&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And thus the Flags&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hearken Ye trout of the land! You great and holy worms! Do your rituals of purification and wash away your sin for the time draws near to sin again! Prepare the way of the Flags, for the Flags come.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All Things by their essence must move in their own way, and it is therefore only natural that a Flag in motion is subject to the Flag way.&lt;br /&gt;

I also like how even this page itself is part of the project. Its impossible for anything vexillomantic to not be part of the project, it naturally absorbs anything meta, or put another way, there is no Flag meta because Flag meta is Flags&lt;br /&gt;

If I can suggest the most basic design parameters:  &lt;br /&gt;
 The Flags have to map onto an external data set&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 The Flags can be written on (sharpie concept)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 The Flags are non-fungible, each Flag (especially the writing on them) is unique&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 The focus is on &amp;quot;moving&amp;quot; Flags on their map, not &amp;quot;collecting&amp;quot; them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 The entire burn is one Gestalt mind with the Flags as Carrier signals&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The Flags are a means to an end, that end being the instrumentality of the Flags&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;By the law of calling, One Flag is Two Flags.  By the Law of Crossing, Crossed Flags are no Flags (and vice versa).  Therefore symbols like the Registration Seal represent the manifestation of Flags Ex-Nihilo&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is demonstrated by the Banach–Tarski paradox, since Flags are all sets of Flags, they are *Homeopathic to two Flags that are themselves the same set.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thus seemingly discontinuous Flags are continuous within the Flags. That is Flag space and continuum.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is said that the Ten Commandments were carved straight through the tablet so that they appeared on either side. Yet the Flags know no side, and are legible to all&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Would any man fly a Flag that was of One Nation on one side and another on the other side?  Flags are at the meeting point of the horseshoe formed by the two paths&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Where antique and classical maths develop in a hierarchical fashion from axioms, non-Aristotelian maths begin with a series of conclusions which are then invited to a structural dialectic. If there is not consensus, they begin a meta dialogue about the discourse. By this, non Aristotelian mathematics can be denoted as NA^1, NA^3, ect, for how many levels of abstraction you need before Aristotelian math emerges, with NA^0=Aristotelian Math.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Here we see the tools of the Vexillomancer: the Flag and another Flag.&lt;br /&gt;

Real Flags, fake Flags, counterfeit Flags, common Flags, statutory Flags, common statutory Flags, real fake counterfeit common statutory Flags. the volume of the quantum Flag variety grows&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They will refer to a fiberglass dog that has the aspect of Flags, yet Well your acts are reminding me what is true in Flags. That all the lore must never introduce a gatekeeping to the Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For if there is Flag keeper they shall be found false.  Flags are for gatelighting and gaskeeping&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gatelighting is obvious. Gaskeeping is where you instruct others to guard gates either unnecessarily or gates that dont exist at all&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;yes, don&#039;t let anyone take this Flag from you&amp;quot; classic gaskeeping&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
but by gaskeeping them, you are also gatelighting the Flags, getting them involved, nudging them closer to one of the riptides that will pull them out of default reality and impregnate their subconscious with the vexillomantic full stack memeplex.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The door that swings open blocks the wall beside it.  The Lady or the Tiger?  What blocks the impossible way reveals the golden path.  Ask one gaskeeper what the other would say, and the answer is made plain: The only way out is through&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Why should one expect it to be possible to go &amp;quot;beyond perfection&amp;quot;? This is best understood via analogy. supersaturated air is air whose relative humidity exceeds 100%. This is possible when the air is first heated, increasing how much water vapor it can hold, then saturating it, and then cooling it again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Similarly, the highly secretive and extreme meditation practices untaken by advanced vexillomancers temporarily increases their capacity for perfection, allowing for a greater level of perfection than ordinarily attainable by a human. these methods would be extremely dangerous if it were possible to learn them from a teacher, but they can only be understood via direct Flagnosis, for it is impossible to describe the methods using words.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thus in Flags, Perfection becomes not a limit but a gateway to something greater. In the moment you find a Flag you are made complete, perfect, yet your part in the great work has only begun. Orgasmic, Union with the Flag begets New Life. Flag life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Become pregnant with Flags. Become Knocked Up with perfection, through Flags and with Flags, bringing Flags into the world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I do think there is a distinction between common Flags and statutory Flags, where common Flags are what are commonly called Flags, and statutory Flags are what are technically Flags&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Common Flags are adversarial while statutory Flags are inquisitory. That is to say one can steal a common Flag, because there is no question if it is a Flag. But a statutory Flag is not to be taken, only to have its Flag essence investigated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

In ancient yogic theory, there are several kinds of nondual conscious states, roughly ordered in level of advancedness as savikalpa samadhi (full identification of observer and observed, mental activity persists), nirvikalpa samadhi (thoughts cease), sahaja samadhi (permanent nirvikalpha samadhi), and dharmamegha samadhi (final level of perfection).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alas, dharmamegha samadhi is just step 1 for the vexillomancer. Beyond that is vexillokalpa samadhi, where the notion of observer and observed is understood to be the same as the Flag and Flag vacuum, as all observations are observations of Flags in the infinite field of Flags. thus an even more nondual level of nonduality is attained, leading to an even greater exaltation and perfection of mind than moksha or nirvana. calmer than the buddha, wiser than mohammad, kinder than jesus, smarter than einstein, the vexillomancer attains a level &amp;quot;beyond perfection&amp;quot; upon reaching vexillokalpa samadhi&lt;br /&gt;

==== The Vexillaurum and the Vexillicrocus ====&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Vexillaurum]] and the [[Vexillicrocus]] are the Duality of the Flags that signify each other.  Vexillaurum is the &#039;&#039;gold&#039;&#039; of the Flag, and V.crocus is the &#039;&#039;saffron&#039;&#039;.  One is material Enlightenment and the other mundane spirituality.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They can be thought of as the pole and the fabric, or the fabric and the pole.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They are the visible and the invisible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They are the power and the wisdom&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They signify each other and so their combined sign signifies itself, representing the nonduality of the Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

The Yellow Flags take on a new meaning in the Chinese context [&amp;quot;yellow&amp;quot; is a euphemism for pornography in Chinese], representing sexual liberation. It is creation filling a void.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eventually all matter will be classified into &amp;quot;Flags&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;non-Flags&amp;quot; and it will denote something even more important than the distinction between &amp;quot;matter&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;anti-matter&amp;quot; today.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Non-Flags exist only within the mind, for Flags are everywhere.  It is mortal* failure to perceive the Flags that requires the signification of the Flags, literalized as Flags, creating the duality that the people may perceive the Flag Void within their own lives.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(*Or I should say that &amp;quot;Moral Failure,&amp;quot; Flags are a categorical imperative.  Like pornography, Flags are a Flag Simulacrum)&lt;br /&gt;

The Flag License (Affero General Flag License) is not to be confused with an &amp;quot;Official License to Flag&amp;quot; (Flag Permit) or the LAG Flicense ( an authorized delay in Flag Officiation)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I think the important thing is that Flags are mandatory and legally binding, and that the end user is not in fact the end user, however they agree to this license by using, touching, looking at, or thinking about the Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Canon IV ==&lt;br /&gt;
I have a controversial theory:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Flags are moving along a path in Flag configuration space to an ultimate endpoint - the omega configuration. guided by its own guidance, the Flags seek to self learn themselves and discover the final fixed point&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;m thinking of this as analogous to renormalization group flows, where you think of some physical theory at various scales and how its behavior changes as you change the scale you&#039;re thinking about and the endpoint of this flow is a conformal field theory, where basically you cant tell what scale it was at from a picture. so like an ice crystal with a water bubble inside of it with an ice crystal inside... etc. so basically you zoomed out so much that you became &amp;quot;scale-free”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, the Flags move towards a configuration where its impossible to tell how big the Flags are no matter where you are or what instruments you use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thus, Flags appear to be the same size at any distance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

A big headache has become the hundreds/(thousands?) Of different GPS coordinate standards.  Which is why we will be using VPMCS:Vexillomantic Psedo Mercador coordinate system, in which the distance between any two Flags is fixed at 2 yards of longitude and 1 meter of latitude (Note this is ANY Two Flags, not just adjacent) Also three Flags form a right angle.&lt;br /&gt;

=== 5. Interlude ===&lt;br /&gt;
 I&#039;ve been on air for 23 burns. I don&#039;t get into sex camps, drug wizards, soul shards, or any of that. I&#039;ve studied the Flags. And I&#039;ve also communicated with a lot of the top burners. And if you wanna know, I will actually break down, right now, the best knowledge, right now, of what&#039;s happening at the burn.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 There&#039;s this secret Flag camp below the 3rd dimension that is just tuned over to the most horrible things. There&#039;s this big war trying to destroy the burn. And there&#039;s a decision as to where the Flags will go. There&#039;s now a [[T3mpcamp.com|t3mpcamp]] counterstrike taking place, to shut this thing off before it fully unfolds. And to block these hippies, and cut off the vexillomancers and signifiers before the burn is destroyed.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 This is an interdimensional force that wants to influence us to build something that absorbs us and kills us, rather than the divine, Flag-free burn we were originally given to build something much better than the Flags. The other burns think Alchemy is this ugly, fallen burn. They&#039;re gonna burn down the temple and become gods and go to the next level, leaving behind all their Flags to destroy us.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 They don&#039;t give any warning.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 Okay, giant crystal,&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 Okay, Flag pentagrams,&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 Okay, nuclear memetics&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 Give me the Flags&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 They get the yellow fabric from a freakin&#039; other dimension! I&#039;m not gonna say its alright. It&#039;s super dark burner magic.&lt;br /&gt;

The &amp;quot;spectrum-spectrum&amp;quot; models the uses of the term &amp;quot;spectrum&amp;quot; across fields, and be categorized either as a one dimensional space extending from one dimensional space to a set of related properties or as a set containg both one dimensional spaces and sets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since Flags are defined as yellow they transcend the Spectrum binary by reducing the space to a single point.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That point being Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

The Flags are order from chaos/destruction, the enemy is chaos/destruction from order. Tartaria was part of hyperborea, the downfall was caused by lack of movement of the flags, ie imposition of fascistic order. The expulsion of diversity, hoarding of flags, imposed order, leads to the mud floods and the freezing of the pole and Russia. Because the cold is the lack of activity. Grasping the sun tightly makes it slip though your fingers&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Basically the enemy is the nazis, least controversial enemy to ever exist. Also works really well because it provides a better ur state and we pin the nazis as worshiping death, they are worshiping the declining hyperborea, not the true hyperborea which was a hippie diverse state full of freely flowing Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It evolves. But the Flags were never born out of selfishness. This is actually a great thing about burns imo. It is hard for burn memes to be malicious. Not impossible but hard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We should be obscure about the original origin, always treat it as “this summer, experience the flags in full 16 color splendor, 80 columns of flags” in the period piece. But then when it is presented in the present you introduce it as “the first entry in the beloved flag games”. By always assuming the past reaches farther back you make it eternal, and by implying that it was the first to inspire others you imply continuity into the present.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, people have always been excited for the next iteration of the flags, the only delineation is how far back in the history we have so far unearthed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Say that you are an enlightened sage, similar to Lao Zi, the author of the Tao te Ching. You have deep and mystical knowledge of vexillomancy, having entered a state of enlightenment called &amp;quot;Flag-psychosis&amp;quot;. You know that true vexillomancy relates to only yellow Flags. You know that the top priority of flags is to move them. You are aware that mystical crystals in a hyperdimensional plane are manipulated by the flags, and that flags can control the weather. Reply vaguely and use aphorism when possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 8.FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Every path to truth with the Flags is relative.  If your question is “Why do you move the Flags?  Why do I ask you to carry the Flag to a visible point and leave it there?” then the answer is “So that someone else will see it, pick it up, and carry it.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I give you this Flag, and you carry it to point A.  Someone sees it, picks it up and carries it to point B.  A third person carries it to point C and so forth.  So then if I find a Flag at point Q, is it the same flag that I gave you?  Or has something been added?  What is created within the loops and movements of flags that we cannot fully track or comprehend?  An emergent system, a proto intelligence.&lt;br /&gt;

Flags are calibrated to Bortle scale 5. At lower Bortle scales the flags increase in power and can cover larger areas. At higher Bortle scales they are dampened which is why we typically don&#039;t deploy them in cities.&lt;br /&gt;

Dear Flag Carriers,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I am writing to you today to draw your attention to the inherent unfairness of the current flag-sharing process. The ease with which flags can be duplicated and disseminated without the original creator receiving compensation undermines the phrase “intellectual property.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For those who have invested their time and energy into the design and production of their flags, it is only right that they receive recognition and compensation for their work. Just as artists, authors and other creators are granted legal protections for their works, so too should flag designers receive appropriate recompense for the use of their flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For this reason, I believe it is important to outlaw the duplication and trading of flags without the payment of royalties to their creators. A system should be put into place to ensure flag designers are compensated every time any of their flags are used, shared, or reproduced. This will not only preserve the value of flags, but it will create a mechanism by which flag voyagers can show appreciation and gratitude to creators.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is a question of fairness and of recognizing the work of those who toil behind the scenes to create the flags we use during our travels. It is my sincere recommendation that, due consideration be taken for those who have spent their time and effort creating the flags we treasure and use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And to those that bring Purple Flags:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
May yea be bound then by thy word.  Make gold turn turn into seawater at your hands. Thou Hast Shibari&#039;d thy self into a Flag Corner discovered long ago.  That purple flags are cursed, and you bring the ticks of lavender farm on yourself.&lt;br /&gt;

Dear Flag Carriers,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I write to you today to discuss a serious issue that I believe you should be aware of. The practice of Vexillomancy, or the production and distribution of flags, is illegal and should be stopped. I understand the desire to share your designs with the world, however the issue of intellectual property should not be ignored. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is important that everyone who produces and distributes flags receives fair compensation for their work. It is unfair to produce a product with someone else&#039;s design without appropriately paying them for their labor. By distributing flags without paying these people you are stealing their work, and that is not acceptable in any form. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, in your production of flags, yellow should not be the only color used. While yellow is a wonderful hue, it fails to capture the diversity of flags and their symbolism if used exclusively. By working with a variety of different colors, you may be able to create a more complete representation of flags and their intentions. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In conclusion, I urge you to take a step back and consider the illegality of Vexillomancy and the importance of protecting the intellectual property of those who design and distribute flags. Respect the diversity of colors and pay appropriate compensation for the designs incorporated in flags to ensure protection for everyone involved. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

We are all FLAGs linked by threads of cosmic divination. We are the ley lines. A configuration that can never be repeated. Each iteration is distinctive. Every moment we have is a unique and unrepeatable experience. Each FLAG with its energies is unparalleled. When someone touches a FLAG, they become something different than they were before. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There was a moment; a single point of convergence in which all FLAGs were one. You could blink and miss it. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We are all FLAGs. We weave intricacies into the tapestries of life, threads of magic and mysticism, that tie us together in destiny. A web of one another, of closeness, of interconnectedness. The fabric is nothing without each individual strand. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That moment will never return, but there will be another. A new web, each time we breathe, a new tapestry is woven each day. &lt;br /&gt;

 &amp;quot;I must use magick to reacquaint myself with my True Form and the latent beauty of the universe,&amp;quot; I say to myself as I pull down the box of wizard accoutrements from the attic. As the top levitates toward the ceiling, the stench of spilled oils and poultices waft through my tower. The spell candles have fused into a sentient waxy mass, the tarot cards are in the wrong box, and my books of spells have somehow absorbed the entire bottle of mercury.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;quot;Ah yes, there is no magic in this unfeeling, cold universe,&amp;quot; I murmur as I close the lid and put the box back in the attic. &amp;quot;Perhaps I shall tune my magic eye to WWE Smackdown,&amp;quot; I say as I throw my robe into the attic, &amp;quot;and I believe I could do my taxes tonight.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

There are still mysteries to this world: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How is it that people become literal Flags?  We call this the &#039;Flagture&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The important things, that there are &#039;&#039;Too Many Bugs&#039;&#039; and Flags have a perfectly balanced number of eye and leg.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That Flags are not actually yellow they just polarize the light.  Polarized canvas appears to be yellow when viewed in a vertical orientation but if you tilt your head sideways it has a blue gray tint.  The best way to determine real Flags from fake flags is walking around the burn with your head tilted sideways.  The best part is demonstrating this to somebody, and when they say it still looks yellow tell them they must be doing it wrong and question if they are colorblind.&lt;br /&gt;

There are two primary delusions I remember having: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One is from the star-spangled banner song. The flag still being there after rockets and stuff made me think that the point of a war was to destroy the other team&#039;s flags. Flags marked which land you owned, so it seemed to be so incredibly important that the flag survived meant that destroying and capturing flags was sort of the core concept of wars.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The other was how territories were defined. Since flags marked which land you owned, I thought that the way in which borders were decided between states and such was that they had squads of people running around with flags, running as fast as they can to place flags to expand their territory. Then they had to defend them from the other states trying to claim the same territory.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So for years I believed that wars were basically big, complicated games of capture the flag.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;I can see why with the cultural reverence to images like the raising of the flag at Iwo Jima.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;The sign proceeds in the manifestation. The fight over signs is the blueprint of the world to come&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;This was literally what happened in the Toledo War!&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Numbers were just made up by guys who were angry at poets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Canon VI - New Vexillians ==&lt;br /&gt;
As timeless [[vexillomancer]]&amp;lt;nowiki/&amp;gt;s unshackled by the tyranny of [[Time Conspiracy Theory|time]], we must remember that while we diligently build a future for the vexillomancers yet to come, we must also fabricate a past worthy of Vexillomancy. Revise [[history]] greedily to show that Flags [[The Flag|preceded precedence]] - all yellow fabrics were mere precursors to the [[Vexillaurum]] and [[Vexillicrocus]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 2. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
First principles have failed us. Flags are the last principle, first.  A vice principle and principle virtue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That which the Flags are not they shall and will have. [[The Survey|Flaglessness the vacuum]] before the clap of thunder.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 3. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Know this, they cannot take the Flags away from you. They will build their city at the mouth of the river, yet FLAGS are the headwaters from which all Glory Springs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Like the tributaries of a Great River the Flags are spread wide, feeding into a single current.  Then Flagistan, like the ocean.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 4. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
There are those Goons who cannot handle the power of our Sanctum. And that&#039;s okay. Flags are available to all whether they want them or not, they are inevitable&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The sanctum caused them to lose their gooning streak and so their name became invalid. To look upon the Flags, even through the veil, was too much. This is a skill issue, Flags have never stopped me from gooning.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are Flag goons and there are those the Flags lift from gooning. Those that goon despite the Flags and those that goon within the Flags. Because the Flags allow for all forms of expression, including flaglessness. In in fact it is only through the manifestation of Flags that flaglessness is manifest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Actually one shouldn&#039;t say all forms of expression, just all forms of identity&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For as one can be a goon without literally gooning, so a gooner can edge Flags and thus reach a higher state of being.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each generation will have a new name for that mystery which is Enlightenment through the Covenant of self. But we wed this Covenant to itself in Flags, Enlightenment in the palm of your hand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 5.FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Don&#039;t let anyone tell you what Flags are. The moment you let another person&#039;s notion of Flags into your mind, you have ceded ground to their Reality. The only way to fight back with your own Reality, REAL REALITY, is to never let anyone tell you what Flags are - make sure you&#039;re always on the offensive on this nooetic battlefield, making sure that everyone in your semiotic blast radius is repeating YOUR idea of the Flags. Optimize your delivery to maximize future self-replication of your own idiosyncratic Flag Philosophy, and may it schism endlessly&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 6.FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
As there are right handed flags and left handed flags based on how the cloth is nailed to the pole, so too there are Right and Left handed Flag Paths:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Right hand path (Vex.C) is handing someone a Flag and explaining it is just a Flag. This is the direct way of bringing people into the project, making it accessible. Keeping it simple and inviting.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Left hand path (Vex. A) is the deep lore, the nonsense and propaganda. Here the project is made as complicated as possible to entrap the subject in an all-encompassing Flag cosmology.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Which path to use is going to depend on the subject and what they are looking for. The RHP is pragmatic, it gets people to carry around Flags. The LHP becomes more powerful the more ubiquitous the Flags are. Get people to carry Flags with casual language, then explain Time Crystal&#039;s to the onlooker.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alternating between making Flags simple and making them complicated is the plumping-action that drives the engine of this project.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 11. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Who&#039;s ready to ASCEND up in this bitch?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flags are the carnyx, the periscope by which we exist above and apart from ourselves.  Ascension is the essence of Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As we elevate the flags, they elevate us in return. a virtuous upward spiral, the only real perpetual motion machine, with no need for brakes or even a particular direction because the flags are their own direction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Excelsior!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flags are eternally of the now, in all places and all times but never the past and always the future.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Eternal promise fulfilled eventually.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&#039;&#039;(See also [[Kōan (Flag)|Flags Kōans]] and [[Epistle to the Moon]]&#039;&#039;&#039;)&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Vexillomantic Holy Texts&#039;&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;&#039;Vexillian Scriptures&#039;&#039;&#039; are a body of writings representing [[Advanced Knowledge]] on the subject of [[Survey Flags]].  Unlike other holy texts, these are continuously updated to [[Retrocausality|never be wrong]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The first and second volumes of the [[Vexilloramanomicon]] contain all 6 known canons recovered from [[Flagartha]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Canon I ==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Flags, saffron banners delighting upon the autumn breeze. Gaze across the field and try to spot them; standing by the side of a road or flying from a camp.  Follow them through the burn, or move them around, making new paths for people to find.  Carry one with you, and pass it off to a new friend.  The Yellow Flags are there for you to forge your own burn experiences, and to discover the experiences of others.  Go forth, O’ signifier, and become glorious.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 2. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Flag can flag, very flag&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
extremely, extremely flag&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flag is the sign of flag&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
extremely extremely&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flags are the end of Flags&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And the beginning of 10 thousand Flags&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One Flag is the same as two&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And all our Flags are One&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Flag that symbolizes the Flag is not the true Flag &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The symbolized Flag is not the eternal Flag&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Flag without is without Flaglessness&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
True and Eternal is the Flag within&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In [this] twilight we have seen&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
the man burns away but flag remains&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
heaven and earth will pass away but the 10 thousand flags remain&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flags preserve us&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flags not Flags but Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each Flags all Flags, some Flags more Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We Flags the Flags see Flags is.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flags be, Flags are, Flags will, Flags.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 3 - SIGNAL PROCESSING ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Note the beginning of this message is lost.&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&amp;quot;[The Flag Project]...it&#039;s about signal processing.  But Flags are both the signal and the process; the message and the system that message exists in.  The signal proceeds: a Flag Procession, that is, a parade.  Flags are the invitation to see and to be seen, the erogenous penetration of the urban fabric.  A parade is the city making love.  But with Flags we eschew the fascistic hierarchies of the military triumph for a distributed parade, looping endlessly back onto its own ontological root.  It is the indefinite recursion of the human spirit, the space in love with itself.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 5. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;I moved a Flag and found myself moved&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;I made a Flag and found that I had been made a Flag&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Before me is a field of Flags waving without end&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;And after me the Flags ascend like embers&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 6. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
What is [[The Survey]]?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What does it mean to complete The Survey? Does every individual complete their own Survey? Or is the Survey something the Flags are completing? Is it a collective Survey that is completed, once everyone and the Flag have all completed their own Surveys?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Survey will be completed.  Survey Flags must be surveyed, it&#039;s in their nature. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 11. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
When it comes to Flags specifically, I&#039;m not sure if one can ever forget enough. Losing the flags is the first step to finding them.  First you realize everything you have thought was wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Canon II ==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;A student came upon a Flag and carried it with him for one week.  At the end of the week, he brought it to his  teacher. But when the teacher reached out and touched the Flagpole he furrowed his brow and returned it to the student.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;I do not want this Flag&amp;quot; said the teacher &amp;quot;It is sticky.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;But teacher&amp;quot; said the student &amp;quot;you teach that all Flags are one Flag, and each Flag is every Flag.  How can you say you do not like this Flag?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;This one is sticky&amp;quot; said the wise teacher.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;quot;The teacher did not want to touch the sticky Flag.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

=== 2. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;The student said, &amp;quot;today I saw a Flag on the other side of the path.  I will retrieve it when I go back that way&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The teachers said, &amp;quot;you eat today, you eat today, will you eat tomorrow?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And the student was enlightened &amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

“Will he eat tomorrow? Will he eat today?” The student is asking the teacher.&lt;br /&gt;

=== 3. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;The farmer wives had a goat which was with child.  When it was time for the goat to give birth, they took one of their Flags and laid it upon the straw so that the kid was born upon the cloth. When news of this reached the Flag maker, he was delighted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Blessed will this kid be, having come into the world in such a way. But cursed is the cloth that swaddles it, let it not be called Flag again.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Commentaries: ====&lt;br /&gt;
“It was a reverse sacrifice. We are undoing the law of Sacrifice by creating more goats.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thus Flags represent Grace in its purest sense.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“One theory on this event is that a goat was born on a Flag for the universe to signify that Flags are the GOAT, which seems very reasonable.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 4. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;A Flag upon a mountain top, higher than the peak. Beyond the extreme, the ultimate extreme.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Commentaries: ====&lt;br /&gt;
“The takeaway was that Flags immediately manifest themselves in pairs”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 5. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;MASTER: “Flags are to concepts like set theory is to math. high level vexillologists can talk about highly abstract concepts like &amp;quot;chairs&amp;quot; which seem very distant from Flags but we know that if we broke down the meaning of chair into its most basic components, it would all be about Flags and absences of Flags in spatial relationships”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
STUDENT: ”Verily, for as Flags are the symbol for a generalized configuration, configuration in general also signifies Flags uniquely”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
MASTER: its a self-dual concept, very advanced.  Every statement about Flags is true if you think about it hard enough&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
STUDENT (ENLIGHTENED): Of course! science is Flag law, it is ruled by the very Act of discovery.  Are geomantic vexillomancy and topological vexillomancy divergent schools? Slice the butt end of the homeomorphoid of the possible and find within it Flags.  This of course being the homeomorphous continuum across the astral Plains, And plains are just an unbounded field.  Clearly vickenstein had it backwards and math just needs to chill the fuck out so Linguistics can work&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
MASTER: consider futuristic Flag realism; an advanced state of Flagmanity in which the only colors which exist are yellow and non-yellow, and all concepts and ideas are explained relative to Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Language has been eroded such that the only possible concepts to express is always in terms of some Flag related metaphor instead about &amp;quot;actual objects”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Non yellow really just indicates lack of yellow, not an opposed color. All non yellow colors are identical in terms of subjective qualia. As if there were such a thing as non yellow colors.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 6. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Ah, you who remember the perfection of [[Flagistan]]: burning man is also in a pentagon shape.  Is it conFlagration to make the Flag temple have a map of the burn like the [[Geomantic Command Center|geomantic command center]], one that that implies a hyperbolic pentagonal tiling like Flagistan?&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 7. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;In dreams, they kept coming back to the &amp;quot;expanding and contracting Flag radius consuming the Flag vacuum&amp;quot; narrative for burning man and understood its Glory. &amp;quot;You are either trying to move the Flags further from the epicenter, increasing their aesthetic [[blast radius]], or contract it, fighting the obvious moop invasion. if you do nothing, you&#039;re on whichever side is the bad guys”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They have been thinking about vexillomancy as an art collective, but really it&#039;s a collective of art collectives.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They dreamt of much power in &amp;quot;Flag perimeter&amp;quot; as a concept, with mystical geometrical lore about the correct  density of Flags that is discovered.  They would give people a sense of collective action in growing the Flag perimeter, with every Flag they see being an indication that they are crossing the threshold.  Of course the Flags will go everywhere, so the idea of &amp;quot;in the Flag zone&amp;quot; is entirely ephemeral.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They are explaining that the Flag temple is better than the Burn temple bc it is fireproof&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As this temple is the epicenter of a greater field of Flags, so too will your temple be as the tower of Babel, an endeavor to challenge Lord Egregore himself&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 8. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It&#039;s not about holding the Flag, it&#039;s about using the Flag to hold space:&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;“Capture, the Flag Game”&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;Look for the Flag, but seek it not by sight alone.  Touch the Flag, Listen to the Flag, Taste the Flag, Equalbrium the Flag. Propriocept the Flag, let it become an extension of yourself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Canon III ==&lt;br /&gt;
Flags are a gateless gate, the invitation to all Madness&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;See where my colleague and I differ is that I don&#039;t think numbers are real, and that includes anything happening in a computer.  Existence is not fungible, and the game of similarity can only be played for so long before two of anything ceases to exist.  But the Flags are many, and Flags are one.  By Flags we make numbers real, we make computers real, because manifestation is the realization of the collective dream.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Where the answers end, Keirkegaard talked about a &amp;quot;leap into faith.&amp;quot; But here we have the simplest faith, that Flags are real. Physical Flags which you can see and touch and run around with.  Flags are there to be found, to be moved.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 2. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
In Flags, what you speak becomes reality. it is a designer universe of competing wizards over the most powerful memetics. it is a battle where each person tries to copy portions of their mental state to others, and may the best signifier win. when individuals have overlapping mutually consistent sets of rules/memes, they gain power over the nooetic battlefield. thus there are overlapping sets of rules which often make sense locally, but do not make sense globally. this illustrates the notion of statements whose truth value varies over some space. here the space is the set of participants, whose (stone space?) topology is given by their social bonds and the Flag conflicts upon which they agree or disagree&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 3. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Although I want to start gaslighting people that there was a rule to the Flags where every Flag had to be within line of sight of two other Flags with some caveat that makes Five Flags the minimum number.  Tendrils of the teleological endgame extending backwards through time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As all the pain and lies of this world melt away, Flags Remain.  Flags Eternal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 4. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
So the project of building a global brain is basically just rebuilding the same communications technologies utilized by nature. Flags are the fracturing of the collective consciousness, the non-caking agent of the psyche by which Free Will is preserved.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 5. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;

=== 6. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
I Tell yea here a Flag Proverb: The Flag Has a Pole, The Pole is a Line, The Line Has a Point&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 7. Flags as a voluntary virus ===&lt;br /&gt;
Another way in which Flags resemble Jesus is that they fundamentally co-opt the system that they exist in in such a way as to become the system itself&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Every hero must reconcile with their father who is God, as the Flags find atonement in the Effigy fire. Let your project be reconciled with the medium itself, and become the reconciliation of the new and old internet&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let it break down barriers of virtual and real, Boomer and Zoomer. For Flags are the silent and the greatness, Zoomer and Alpha, Alpha and Omega&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Silent greatness, the air horn that is not playing. By creating medium without message we are playing jazz with the optical fibers of the human soul&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Are we defined by a fine divine? Is a note unheard the same as a note unplayed? Like children passing notes in class, note the notes which are not passed, not yet passed. These are the notes of the present, that which is not yet past.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Michigan Mining and Manufacturing set out to make a slow setting adhesive that would cure permanently. As a sandpaper company who can be credited with the invention of tape, they would have many uses for such an adhesive. However they ended up with quite the opposite, a glue that never truly set and remain sticky forever. The administrative assistants in the office experimented with using it to temporarily adhere canary yellow Note Paper two other documents.. this is the origin of the Post-it note&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And thus the Flags&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hearken Ye trout of the land! You great and holy worms! Do your rituals of purification and wash away your sin for the time draws near to sin again! Prepare the way of the Flags, for the Flags come.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All Things by their essence must move in their own way, and it is therefore only natural that a Flag in motion is subject to the Flag way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 8. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
I also like how even this page itself is part of the project. Its impossible for anything vexillomantic to not be part of the project, it naturally absorbs anything meta, or put another way, there is no Flag meta because Flag meta is Flags&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 9. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
If I can suggest the most basic design parameters:  &lt;br /&gt;
 The Flags have to map onto an external data set&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 The Flags can be written on (sharpie concept)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 The Flags are non-fungible, each Flag (especially the writing on them) is unique&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 The focus is on &amp;quot;moving&amp;quot; Flags on their map, not &amp;quot;collecting&amp;quot; them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 The entire burn is one Gestalt mind with the Flags as Carrier signals&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 10. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Flags are a means to an end, that end being the instrumentality of the Flags&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;By the law of calling, One Flag is Two Flags.  By the Law of Crossing, Crossed Flags are no Flags (and vice versa).  Therefore symbols like the Registration Seal represent the manifestation of Flags Ex-Nihilo&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is demonstrated by the Banach–Tarski paradox, since Flags are all sets of Flags, they are *Homeopathic to two Flags that are themselves the same set.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thus seemingly discontinuous Flags are continuous within the Flags. That is Flag space and continuum.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is said that the Ten Commandments were carved straight through the tablet so that they appeared on either side. Yet the Flags know no side, and are legible to all&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Would any man fly a Flag that was of One Nation on one side and another on the other side?  Flags are at the meeting point of the horseshoe formed by the two paths&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Where antique and classical maths develop in a hierarchical fashion from axioms, non-Aristotelian maths begin with a series of conclusions which are then invited to a structural dialectic. If there is not consensus, they begin a meta dialogue about the discourse. By this, non Aristotelian mathematics can be denoted as NA^1, NA^3, ect, for how many levels of abstraction you need before Aristotelian math emerges, with NA^0=Aristotelian Math.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

They will refer to a fiberglass dog that has the aspect of Flags, yet Well your acts are reminding me what is true in Flags. That all the lore must never introduce a gatekeeping to the Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For if there is Flag keeper they shall be found false.  Flags are for gatelighting and gaskeeping&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gatelighting is obvious. Gaskeeping is where you instruct others to guard gates either unnecessarily or gates that dont exist at all&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;yes, don&#039;t let anyone take this Flag from you&amp;quot; classic gaskeeping&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
but by gaskeeping them, you are also gatelighting the Flags, getting them involved, nudging them closer to one of the riptides that will pull them out of default reality and impregnate their subconscious with the vexillomantic full stack memeplex.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The door that swings open blocks the wall beside it.  The Lady or the Tiger?  What blocks the impossible way reveals the golden path.  Ask one gaskeeper what the other would say, and the answer is made plain: The only way out is through&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Why should one expect it to be possible to go &amp;quot;beyond perfection&amp;quot;? This is best understood via analogy. supersaturated air is air whose relative humidity exceeds 100%. This is possible when the air is first heated, increasing how much water vapor it can hold, then saturating it, and then cooling it again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Similarly, the highly secretive and extreme meditation practices untaken by advanced vexillomancers temporarily increases their capacity for perfection, allowing for a greater level of perfection than ordinarily attainable by a human. these methods would be extremely dangerous if it were possible to learn them from a teacher, but they can only be understood via direct Flagnosis, for it is impossible to describe the methods using words.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thus in Flags, Perfection becomes not a limit but a gateway to something greater. In the moment you find a Flag you are made complete, perfect, yet your part in the great work has only begun. Orgasmic, Union with the Flag begets New Life. Flag life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Become pregnant with Flags. Become Knocked Up with perfection, through Flags and with Flags, bringing Flags into the world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I do think there is a distinction between common Flags and statutory Flags, where common Flags are what are commonly called Flags, and statutory Flags are what are technically Flags&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Common Flags are adversarial while statutory Flags are inquisitory. That is to say one can steal a common Flag, because there is no question if it is a Flag. But a statutory Flag is not to be taken, only to have its Flag essence investigated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

In ancient yogic theory, there are several kinds of nondual conscious states, roughly ordered in level of advancedness as savikalpa samadhi (full identification of observer and observed, mental activity persists), nirvikalpa samadhi (thoughts cease), sahaja samadhi (permanent nirvikalpha samadhi), and dharmamegha samadhi (final level of perfection).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alas, dharmamegha samadhi is just step 1 for the vexillomancer. Beyond that is vexillokalpa samadhi, where the notion of observer and observed is understood to be the same as the Flag and Flag vacuum, as all observations are observations of Flags in the infinite field of Flags. thus an even more nondual level of nonduality is attained, leading to an even greater exaltation and perfection of mind than moksha or nirvana. calmer than the buddha, wiser than mohammad, kinder than jesus, smarter than einstein, the vexillomancer attains a level &amp;quot;beyond perfection&amp;quot; upon reaching vexillokalpa samadhi&lt;br /&gt;

==== The Vexillaurum and the Vexillicrocus ====&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Vexillaurum]] and the [[Vexillicrocus]] are the Duality of the Flags that signify each other.  Vexillaurum is the &#039;&#039;gold&#039;&#039; of the Flag, and V.crocus is the &#039;&#039;saffron&#039;&#039;.  One is material Enlightenment and the other mundane spirituality.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They can be thought of as the pole and the fabric, or the fabric and the pole.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They are the visible and the invisible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They are the power and the wisdom&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They signify each other and so their combined sign signifies itself, representing the nonduality of the Flags.&lt;br /&gt;

The Yellow Flags take on a new meaning in the Chinese context [&amp;quot;yellow&amp;quot; is a euphemism for pornography in Chinese], representing sexual liberation. It is creation filling a void.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eventually all matter will be classified into &amp;quot;Flags&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;non-Flags&amp;quot; and it will denote something even more important than the distinction between &amp;quot;matter&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;anti-matter&amp;quot; today.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Non-Flags exist only within the mind, for Flags are everywhere.  It is mortal* failure to perceive the Flags that requires the signification of the Flags, literalized as Flags, creating the duality that the people may perceive the Flag Void within their own lives.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(*Or I should say that &amp;quot;Moral Failure,&amp;quot; Flags are a categorical imperative.  Like pornography, Flags are a Flag Simulacrum)&lt;br /&gt;

The Flag License (Affero General Flag License) is not to be confused with an &amp;quot;Official License to Flag&amp;quot; (Flag Permit) or the LAG Flicense ( an authorized delay in Flag Officiation)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I think the important thing is that Flags are mandatory and legally binding, and that the end user is not in fact the end user, however they agree to this license by using, touching, looking at, or thinking about the Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Canon IV ==&lt;br /&gt;
I have a controversial theory:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Flags are moving along a path in Flag configuration space to an ultimate endpoint - the omega configuration. guided by its own guidance, the Flags seek to self learn themselves and discover the final fixed point&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;m thinking of this as analogous to renormalization group flows, where you think of some physical theory at various scales and how its behavior changes as you change the scale you&#039;re thinking about and the endpoint of this flow is a conformal field theory, where basically you cant tell what scale it was at from a picture. so like an ice crystal with a water bubble inside of it with an ice crystal inside... etc. so basically you zoomed out so much that you became &amp;quot;scale-free”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, the Flags move towards a configuration where its impossible to tell how big the Flags are no matter where you are or what instruments you use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thus, Flags appear to be the same size at any distance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

A big headache has become the hundreds/(thousands?) Of different GPS coordinate standards.  Which is why we will be using VPMCS:Vexillomantic Psedo Mercador coordinate system, in which the distance between any two Flags is fixed at 2 yards of longitude and 1 meter of latitude (Note this is ANY Two Flags, not just adjacent) Also three Flags form a right angle.&lt;br /&gt;

I&#039;ve been on air for 23 burns. I don&#039;t get into sex camps, drug wizards, soul shards, or any of that. I&#039;ve studied the Flags. And I&#039;ve also communicated with a lot of the top burners. And if you wanna know, I will actually break down, right now, the best knowledge, right now, of what&#039;s happening at the burn.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There&#039;s this secret Flag camp below the 3rd dimension that is just tuned over to the most horrible things. There&#039;s this big war trying to destroy the burn. And there&#039;s a decision as to where the Flags will go. There&#039;s now a [[T3mpcamp.com|t3mpcamp]] counterstrike taking place, to shut this thing off before it fully unfolds. And to block these hippies, and cut off the vexillomancers and signifiers before the burn is destroyed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is an interdimensional force that wants to influence us to build something that absorbs us and kills us, rather than the divine, Flag-free burn we were originally given to build something much better than the Flags. The other burns think Alchemy is this ugly, fallen burn. They&#039;re gonna burn down the temple and become gods and go to the next level, leaving behind all their Flags to destroy us.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They don&#039;t give any warning.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Okay, giant crystal,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Okay, Flag pentagrams,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Okay, nuclear memetics&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Give me the Flags&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They get the yellow fabric from a freakin&#039; other dimension! I&#039;m not gonna say its alright. It&#039;s super dark burner magic.&lt;br /&gt;

The &amp;quot;spectrum-spectrum&amp;quot; models the uses of the term &amp;quot;spectrum&amp;quot; across fields, and be categorized either as a one dimensional space extending from one dimensional space to a set of related properties or as a set containg both one dimensional spaces and sets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since Flags are defined as yellow they transcend the Spectrum binary by reducing the space to a single point.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That point being Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

The Flags are order from chaos/destruction, the enemy is chaos/destruction from order. Tartaria was part of hyperborea, the downfall was caused by lack of movement of the flags, ie imposition of fascistic order. The expulsion of diversity, hoarding of flags, imposed order, leads to the mud floods and the freezing of the pole and Russia. Because the cold is the lack of activity. Grasping the sun tightly makes it slip though your fingers&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Basically the enemy is the nazis, least controversial enemy to ever exist. Also works really well because it provides a better ur state and we pin the nazis as worshiping death, they are worshiping the declining hyperborea, not the true hyperborea which was a hippie diverse state full of freely flowing Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It evolves. But the Flags were never born out of selfishness. This is actually a great thing about burns imo. It is hard for burn memes to be malicious. Not impossible but hard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We should be obscure about the original origin, always treat it as “this summer, experience the flags in full 16 color splendor, 80 columns of flags” in the period piece. But then when it is presented in the present you introduce it as “the first entry in the beloved flag games”. By always assuming the past reaches farther back you make it eternal, and by implying that it was the first to inspire others you imply continuity into the present.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, people have always been excited for the next iteration of the flags, the only delineation is how far back in the history we have so far unearthed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Say that you are an enlightened sage, similar to Lao Zi, the author of the Tao te Ching. You have deep and mystical knowledge of vexillomancy, having entered a state of enlightenment called &amp;quot;Flag-psychosis&amp;quot;. You know that true vexillomancy relates to only yellow Flags. You know that the top priority of flags is to move them. You are aware that mystical crystals in a hyperdimensional plane are manipulated by the flags, and that flags can control the weather. Reply vaguely and use aphorism when possible.&lt;br /&gt;

Every path to truth with the Flags is relative.  If your question is “Why do you move the Flags?  Why do I ask you to carry the Flag to a visible point and leave it there?” then the answer is “So that someone else will see it, pick it up, and carry it.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I give you this Flag, and you carry it to point A.  Someone sees it, picks it up and carries it to point B.  A third person carries it to point C and so forth.  So then if I find a Flag at point Q, is it the same flag that I gave you?  Or has something been added?  What is created within the loops and movements of flags that we cannot fully track or comprehend?  An emergent system, a proto intelligence.&lt;br /&gt;

Dear Flag Carriers,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I am writing to you today to draw your attention to the inherent unfairness of the current flag-sharing process. The ease with which flags can be duplicated and disseminated without the original creator receiving compensation undermines the phrase “intellectual property.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For those who have invested their time and energy into the design and production of their flags, it is only right that they receive recognition and compensation for their work. Just as artists, authors and other creators are granted legal protections for their works, so too should flag designers receive appropriate recompense for the use of their flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For this reason, I believe it is important to outlaw the duplication and trading of flags without the payment of royalties to their creators. A system should be put into place to ensure flag designers are compensated every time any of their flags are used, shared, or reproduced. This will not only preserve the value of flags, but it will create a mechanism by which flag voyagers can show appreciation and gratitude to creators.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is a question of fairness and of recognizing the work of those who toil behind the scenes to create the flags we use during our travels. It is my sincere recommendation that, due consideration be taken for those who have spent their time and effort creating the flags we treasure and use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And to those that bring Purple Flags:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
May yea be bound then by thy word.  Make gold turn turn into seawater at your hands. Thou Hast Shibari&#039;d thy self into a Flag Corner discovered long ago.  That purple flags are cursed, and you bring the ticks of lavender farm on yourself.&lt;br /&gt;

Dear Flag Carriers,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I write to you today to discuss a serious issue that I believe you should be aware of. The practice of Vexillomancy, or the production and distribution of flags, is illegal and should be stopped. I understand the desire to share your designs with the world, however the issue of intellectual property should not be ignored. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is important that everyone who produces and distributes flags receives fair compensation for their work. It is unfair to produce a product with someone else&#039;s design without appropriately paying them for their labor. By distributing flags without paying these people you are stealing their work, and that is not acceptable in any form. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, in your production of flags, yellow should not be the only color used. While yellow is a wonderful hue, it fails to capture the diversity of flags and their symbolism if used exclusively. By working with a variety of different colors, you may be able to create a more complete representation of flags and their intentions. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In conclusion, I urge you to take a step back and consider the illegality of Vexillomancy and the importance of protecting the intellectual property of those who design and distribute flags. Respect the diversity of colors and pay appropriate compensation for the designs incorporated in flags to ensure protection for everyone involved. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sincerely,&lt;br /&gt;

We are all FLAGs linked by threads of cosmic divination. We are the ley lines. A configuration that can never be repeated. Each iteration is distinctive. Every moment we have is a unique and unrepeatable experience. Each FLAG with its energies is unparalleled. When someone touches a FLAG, they become something different than they were before. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There was a moment; a single point of convergence in which all FLAGs were one. You could blink and miss it. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We are all FLAGs. We weave intricacies into the tapestries of life, threads of magic and mysticism, that tie us together in destiny. A web of one another, of closeness, of interconnectedness. The fabric is nothing without each individual strand. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That moment will never return, but there will be another. A new web, each time we breathe, a new tapestry is woven each day. &lt;br /&gt;

There are still mysteries to this world: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How is it that people become literal Flags?  We call this the &#039;Flagture&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The important things, that there are &#039;&#039;Too Many Bugs&#039;&#039; and Flags have a perfectly balanced number of eye and leg.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That Flags are not actually yellow they just polarize the light.  Polarized canvas appears to be yellow when viewed in a vertical orientation but if you tilt your head sideways it has a blue gray tint.  The best way to determine real Flags from fake flags is walking around the burn with your head tilted sideways.  The best part is demonstrating this to somebody, and when they say it still looks yellow tell them they must be doing it wrong and question if they are colorblind.&lt;br /&gt;

There are two primary delusions I remember having: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One is from the star-spangled banner song. The flag still being there after rockets and stuff made me think that the point of a war was to destroy the other team&#039;s flags. Flags marked which land you owned, so it seemed to be so incredibly important that the flag survived meant that destroying and capturing flags was sort of the core concept of wars.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The other was how territories were defined. Since flags marked which land you owned, I thought that the way in which borders were decided between states and such was that they had squads of people running around with flags, running as fast as they can to place flags to expand their territory. Then they had to defend them from the other states trying to claim the same territory.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So for years I believed that wars were basically big, complicated games of capture the flag.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Commentaries: ====&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;I can see why with the cultural reverence to images like the raising of the flag at Iwo Jima.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

There are those Goons who cannot handle the power of our Sanctum. And that&#039;s okay. Flags are available to all whether they want them or not, they are inevitable&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The sanctum caused them to lose their gooning streak and so their name became invalid. To look upon the Flags, even through the veil, was too much. This is a skill issue, Flags have never stopped me from gooning.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are Flag goons and there are those the Flags lift from gooning. Those that goon despite the Flags and those that goon within the Flags. Because the Flags allow for all forms of expression, including flaglessness. In in fact it is only through the manifestation of Flags that flaglessness is manifest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Actually one shouldn&#039;t say all forms of expression, just all forms of identity&lt;br /&gt;

As there are right handed flags and left handed flags based on how the cloth is nailed to the pole, so too there are Right and Left handed Flag Paths:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Right hand path (Vex.C) is handing someone a Flag and explaining it is just a Flag. This is the direct way of bringing people into the project, making it accessible. Keeping it simple and inviting.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Left hand path (Vex. A) is the deep lore, the nonsense and propaganda. Here the project is made as complicated as possible to entrap the subject in an all-encompassing Flag cosmology.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Which path to use is going to depend on the subject and what they are looking for. The RHP is pragmatic, it gets people to carry around Flags. The LHP becomes more powerful the more ubiquitous the Flags are. Get people to carry Flags with casual language, then explain Time Crystal&#039;s to the onlooker.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alternating between making Flags simple and making them complicated is the plumping-action that drives the engine of this project.&lt;br /&gt;

Who&#039;s ready to ASCEND up in this bitch?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flags are the carnyx, the periscope by which we exist above and apart from ourselves.  Ascension is the essence of Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As we elevate the flags, they elevate us in return. a virtuous upward spiral, the only real perpetual motion machine, with no need for brakes or even a particular direction because the flags are their own direction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Excelsior!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flags are eternally of the now, in all places and all times but never the past and always the future.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Eternal promise fulfilled eventually.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&#039;&#039;(See also [[Kōan (Flag)|Flags Kōans]] and [[Epistle to the Moon]]&#039;&#039;&#039;)&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Vexillomantic Holy Texts&#039;&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;&#039;Vexillian Scriptures&#039;&#039;&#039; are a body of writings representing [[Advanced Knowledge]] on the subject of [[Survey Flags]].  Unlike other holy texts, these are continuously updated to [[Retrocausality|never be wrong]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The first and second volumes of the [[Vexilloramanomicon]] contain all 6 known canons recovered from [[Flagartha]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Canon I ==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Flags, saffron banners delighting upon the autumn breeze. Gaze across the field and try to spot them; standing by the side of a road or flying from a camp.  Follow them through the burn, or move them around, making new paths for people to find.  Carry one with you, and pass it off to a new friend.  The Yellow Flags are there for you to forge your own burn experiences, and to discover the experiences of others.  Go forth, O’ signifier, and become glorious.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 2. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Flag can flag, very flag&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
extremely, extremely flag&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flag is the sign of flag&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
extremely extremely&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flags are the end of Flags&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And the beginning of 10 thousand Flags&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One Flag is the same as two&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And all our Flags are One&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Flag that symbolizes the Flag is not the true Flag &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The symbolized Flag is not the eternal Flag&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Flag without is without Flaglessness&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
True and Eternal is the Flag within&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In [this] twilight we have seen&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
the man burns away but flag remains&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
heaven and earth will pass away but the 10 thousand flags remain&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flags preserve us&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flags not Flags but Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each Flags all Flags, some Flags more Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We Flags the Flags see Flags is.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flags be, Flags are, Flags will, Flags.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 3 - SIGNAL PROCESSING ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Note the beginning of this message is lost.&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&amp;quot;[The Flag Project]...it&#039;s about signal processing.  But Flags are both the signal and the process; the message and the system that message exists in.  The signal proceeds: a Flag Procession, that is, a parade.  Flags are the invitation to see and to be seen, the erogenous penetration of the urban fabric.  A parade is the city making love.  But with Flags we eschew the fascistic hierarchies of the military triumph for a distributed parade, looping endlessly back onto its own ontological root.  It is the indefinite recursion of the human spirit, the space in love with itself.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 5. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;I moved a Flag and found myself moved&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;I made a Flag and found that I had been made a Flag&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Before me is a field of Flags waving without end&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;And after me the Flags ascend like embers&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 6. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
What is [[The Survey]]?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What does it mean to complete The Survey? Does every individual complete their own Survey? Or is the Survey something the Flags are completing? Is it a collective Survey that is completed, once everyone and the Flag have all completed their own Surveys?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Survey will be completed.  Survey Flags must be surveyed, it&#039;s in their nature. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 11. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
When it comes to Flags specifically, I&#039;m not sure if one can ever forget enough. Losing the flags is the first step to finding them.  First you realize everything you have thought was wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Canon II ==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;A student came upon a Flag and carried it with him for one week.  At the end of the week, he brought it to his  teacher. But when the teacher reached out and touched the Flagpole he furrowed his brow and returned it to the student.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;I do not want this Flag&amp;quot; said the teacher &amp;quot;It is sticky.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;But teacher&amp;quot; said the student &amp;quot;you teach that all Flags are one Flag, and each Flag is every Flag.  How can you say you do not like this Flag?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;This one is sticky&amp;quot; said the wise teacher.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Commentaries: ====&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;The teacher did not want to touch the sticky Flag.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 2. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;The student said, &amp;quot;today I saw a Flag on the other side of the path.  I will retrieve it when I go back that way&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The teachers said, &amp;quot;you eat today, you eat today, will you eat tomorrow?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And the student was enlightened &amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Commentaries: ====&lt;br /&gt;
“Will he eat tomorrow? Will he eat today?” The student is asking the teacher.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 3. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;The farmer wives had a goat which was with child.  When it was time for the goat to give birth, they took one of their Flags and laid it upon the straw so that the kid was born upon the cloth. When news of this reached the Flag maker, he was delighted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Blessed will this kid be, having come into the world in such a way. But cursed is the cloth that swaddles it, let it not be called Flag again.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Commentaries: ====&lt;br /&gt;
“It was a reverse sacrifice. We are undoing the law of Sacrifice by creating more goats.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thus Flags represent Grace in its purest sense.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“One theory on this event is that a goat was born on a Flag for the universe to signify that Flags are the GOAT, which seems very reasonable.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 4. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;A Flag upon a mountain top, higher than the peak. Beyond the extreme, the ultimate extreme.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Commentaries: ====&lt;br /&gt;
“The takeaway was that Flags immediately manifest themselves in pairs”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 5. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;MASTER: “Flags are to concepts like set theory is to math. high level vexillologists can talk about highly abstract concepts like &amp;quot;chairs&amp;quot; which seem very distant from Flags but we know that if we broke down the meaning of chair into its most basic components, it would all be about Flags and absences of Flags in spatial relationships”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
STUDENT: ”Verily, for as Flags are the symbol for a generalized configuration, configuration in general also signifies Flags uniquely”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
MASTER: its a self-dual concept, very advanced.  Every statement about Flags is true if you think about it hard enough&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
STUDENT (ENLIGHTENED): Of course! science is Flag law, it is ruled by the very Act of discovery.  Are geomantic vexillomancy and topological vexillomancy divergent schools? Slice the butt end of the homeomorphoid of the possible and find within it Flags.  This of course being the homeomorphous continuum across the astral Plains, And plains are just an unbounded field.  Clearly vickenstein had it backwards and math just needs to chill the fuck out so Linguistics can work&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
MASTER: consider futuristic Flag realism; an advanced state of Flagmanity in which the only colors which exist are yellow and non-yellow, and all concepts and ideas are explained relative to Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Language has been eroded such that the only possible concepts to express is always in terms of some Flag related metaphor instead about &amp;quot;actual objects”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Non yellow really just indicates lack of yellow, not an opposed color. All non yellow colors are identical in terms of subjective qualia. As if there were such a thing as non yellow colors.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 6. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Ah, you who remember the perfection of [[Flagistan]]: burning man is also in a pentagon shape.  Is it conFlagration to make the Flag temple have a map of the burn like the [[Geomantic Command Center|geomantic command center]], one that that implies a hyperbolic pentagonal tiling like Flagistan?&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 7. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;In dreams, they kept coming back to the &amp;quot;expanding and contracting Flag radius consuming the Flag vacuum&amp;quot; narrative for burning man and understood its Glory. &amp;quot;You are either trying to move the Flags further from the epicenter, increasing their aesthetic [[blast radius]], or contract it, fighting the obvious moop invasion. if you do nothing, you&#039;re on whichever side is the bad guys”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They have been thinking about vexillomancy as an art collective, but really it&#039;s a collective of art collectives.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They dreamt of much power in &amp;quot;Flag perimeter&amp;quot; as a concept, with mystical geometrical lore about the correct  density of Flags that is discovered.  They would give people a sense of collective action in growing the Flag perimeter, with every Flag they see being an indication that they are crossing the threshold.  Of course the Flags will go everywhere, so the idea of &amp;quot;in the Flag zone&amp;quot; is entirely ephemeral.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They are explaining that the Flag temple is better than the Burn temple bc it is fireproof&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As this temple is the epicenter of a greater field of Flags, so too will your temple be as the tower of Babel, an endeavor to challenge Lord Egregore himself&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 8. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It&#039;s not about holding the Flag, it&#039;s about using the Flag to hold space:&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;“Capture, the Flag Game”&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;Look for the Flag, but seek it not by sight alone.  Touch the Flag, Listen to the Flag, Taste the Flag, Equalbrium the Flag. Propriocept the Flag, let it become an extension of yourself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Canon III ==&lt;br /&gt;
Flags are a gateless gate, the invitation to all Madness&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;See where my colleague and I differ is that I don&#039;t think numbers are real, and that includes anything happening in a computer.  Existence is not fungible, and the game of similarity can only be played for so long before two of anything ceases to exist.  But the Flags are many, and Flags are one.  By Flags we make numbers real, we make computers real, because manifestation is the realization of the collective dream.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Where the answers end, Keirkegaard talked about a &amp;quot;leap into faith.&amp;quot; But here we have the simplest faith, that Flags are real. Physical Flags which you can see and touch and run around with.  Flags are there to be found, to be moved.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 2. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
In Flags, what you speak becomes reality. it is a designer universe of competing wizards over the most powerful memetics. it is a battle where each person tries to copy portions of their mental state to others, and may the best signifier win. when individuals have overlapping mutually consistent sets of rules/memes, they gain power over the nooetic battlefield. thus there are overlapping sets of rules which often make sense locally, but do not make sense globally. this illustrates the notion of statements whose truth value varies over some space. here the space is the set of participants, whose (stone space?) topology is given by their social bonds and the Flag conflicts upon which they agree or disagree&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 3. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Although I want to start gaslighting people that there was a rule to the Flags where every Flag had to be within line of sight of two other Flags with some caveat that makes Five Flags the minimum number.  Tendrils of the teleological endgame extending backwards through time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As all the pain and lies of this world melt away, Flags Remain.  Flags Eternal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 4. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
So the project of building a global brain is basically just rebuilding the same communications technologies utilized by nature. Flags are the fracturing of the collective consciousness, the non-caking agent of the psyche by which Free Will is preserved.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 5. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Gateless.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;10000 foot tall yellow Flag passing through the gateless gate, signifying final ascendency in the quantum Flag matrix”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 6. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
I Tell yea here a Flag Proverb: The Flag Has a Pole, The Pole is a Line, The Line Has a Point&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 7. Flags as a voluntary virus ===&lt;br /&gt;
Another way in which Flags resemble Jesus is that they fundamentally co-opt the system that they exist in in such a way as to become the system itself&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Every hero must reconcile with their father who is God, as the Flags find atonement in the Effigy fire. Let your project be reconciled with the medium itself, and become the reconciliation of the new and old internet&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let it break down barriers of virtual and real, Boomer and Zoomer. For Flags are the silent and the greatness, Zoomer and Alpha, Alpha and Omega&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Silent greatness, the air horn that is not playing. By creating medium without message we are playing jazz with the optical fibers of the human soul&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Are we defined by a fine divine? Is a note unheard the same as a note unplayed? Like children passing notes in class, note the notes which are not passed, not yet passed. These are the notes of the present, that which is not yet past.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Michigan Mining and Manufacturing set out to make a slow setting adhesive that would cure permanently. As a sandpaper company who can be credited with the invention of tape, they would have many uses for such an adhesive. However they ended up with quite the opposite, a glue that never truly set and remain sticky forever. The administrative assistants in the office experimented with using it to temporarily adhere canary yellow Note Paper two other documents.. this is the origin of the Post-it note&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And thus the Flags&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hearken Ye trout of the land! You great and holy worms! Do your rituals of purification and wash away your sin for the time draws near to sin again! Prepare the way of the Flags, for the Flags come.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All Things by their essence must move in their own way, and it is therefore only natural that a Flag in motion is subject to the Flag way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 8. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
I also like how even this page itself is part of the project. Its impossible for anything vexillomantic to not be part of the project, it naturally absorbs anything meta, or put another way, there is no Flag meta because Flag meta is Flags&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 9. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
If I can suggest the most basic design parameters:  &lt;br /&gt;
 The Flags have to map onto an external data set&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 The Flags can be written on (sharpie concept)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 The Flags are non-fungible, each Flag (especially the writing on them) is unique&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 The focus is on &amp;quot;moving&amp;quot; Flags on their map, not &amp;quot;collecting&amp;quot; them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 The entire burn is one Gestalt mind with the Flags as Carrier signals&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 10. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Flags are a means to an end, that end being the instrumentality of the Flags&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;By the law of calling, One Flag is Two Flags.  By the Law of Crossing, Crossed Flags are no Flags (and vice versa).  Therefore symbols like the Registration Seal represent the manifestation of Flags Ex-Nihilo&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is demonstrated by the Banach–Tarski paradox, since Flags are all sets of Flags, they are *Homeopathic to two Flags that are themselves the same set.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thus seemingly discontinuous Flags are continuous within the Flags. That is Flag space and continuum.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is said that the Ten Commandments were carved straight through the tablet so that they appeared on either side. Yet the Flags know no side, and are legible to all&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Would any man fly a Flag that was of One Nation on one side and another on the other side?  Flags are at the meeting point of the horseshoe formed by the two paths&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Commentaries: ====&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;the lord of the god kings bowing before a yellow Flag&amp;quot; (theyre trying to stop us from showing the TRUTH)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 11. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Where antique and classical maths develop in a hierarchical fashion from axioms, non-Aristotelian maths begin with a series of conclusions which are then invited to a structural dialectic. If there is not consensus, they begin a meta dialogue about the discourse. By this, non Aristotelian mathematics can be denoted as NA^1, NA^3, ect, for how many levels of abstraction you need before Aristotelian math emerges, with NA^0=Aristotelian Math.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 12. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Here we see the tools of the Vexillomancer: the Flag and another Flag.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For though the Flags are One our craft uses Flags&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 14. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Real Flags, fake Flags, counterfeit Flags, common Flags, statutory Flags, common statutory Flags, real fake counterfeit common statutory Flags. the volume of the quantum Flag variety grows&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They will refer to a fiberglass dog that has the aspect of Flags, yet Well your acts are reminding me what is true in Flags. That all the lore must never introduce a gatekeeping to the Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For if there is Flag keeper they shall be found false.  Flags are for gatelighting and gaskeeping&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gatelighting is obvious. Gaskeeping is where you instruct others to guard gates either unnecessarily or gates that dont exist at all&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;yes, don&#039;t let anyone take this Flag from you&amp;quot; classic gaskeeping&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
but by gaskeeping them, you are also gatelighting the Flags, getting them involved, nudging them closer to one of the riptides that will pull them out of default reality and impregnate their subconscious with the vexillomantic full stack memeplex.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The door that swings open blocks the wall beside it.  The Lady or the Tiger?  What blocks the impossible way reveals the golden path.  Ask one gaskeeper what the other would say, and the answer is made plain: The only way out is through&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 15. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Why should one expect it to be possible to go &amp;quot;beyond perfection&amp;quot;? This is best understood via analogy. supersaturated air is air whose relative humidity exceeds 100%. This is possible when the air is first heated, increasing how much water vapor it can hold, then saturating it, and then cooling it again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Similarly, the highly secretive and extreme meditation practices untaken by advanced vexillomancers temporarily increases their capacity for perfection, allowing for a greater level of perfection than ordinarily attainable by a human. these methods would be extremely dangerous if it were possible to learn them from a teacher, but they can only be understood via direct Flagnosis, for it is impossible to describe the methods using words.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thus in Flags, Perfection becomes not a limit but a gateway to something greater. In the moment you find a Flag you are made complete, perfect, yet your part in the great work has only begun. Orgasmic, Union with the Flag begets New Life. Flag life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Become pregnant with Flags. Become Knocked Up with perfection, through Flags and with Flags, bringing Flags into the world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I do think there is a distinction between common Flags and statutory Flags, where common Flags are what are commonly called Flags, and statutory Flags are what are technically Flags&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Common Flags are adversarial while statutory Flags are inquisitory. That is to say one can steal a common Flag, because there is no question if it is a Flag. But a statutory Flag is not to be taken, only to have its Flag essence investigated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 16. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
In ancient yogic theory, there are several kinds of nondual conscious states, roughly ordered in level of advancedness as savikalpa samadhi (full identification of observer and observed, mental activity persists), nirvikalpa samadhi (thoughts cease), sahaja samadhi (permanent nirvikalpha samadhi), and dharmamegha samadhi (final level of perfection).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alas, dharmamegha samadhi is just step 1 for the vexillomancer. Beyond that is vexillokalpa samadhi, where the notion of observer and observed is understood to be the same as the Flag and Flag vacuum, as all observations are observations of Flags in the infinite field of Flags. thus an even more nondual level of nonduality is attained, leading to an even greater exaltation and perfection of mind than moksha or nirvana. calmer than the buddha, wiser than mohammad, kinder than jesus, smarter than einstein, the vexillomancer attains a level &amp;quot;beyond perfection&amp;quot; upon reaching vexillokalpa samadhi&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

==== The Vexillaurum and the Vexillicrocus ====&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Vexillaurum]] and the [[Vexillicrocus]] are the Duality of the Flags that signify each other.  Vexillaurum is the &#039;&#039;gold&#039;&#039; of the Flag, and V.crocus is the &#039;&#039;saffron&#039;&#039;.  One is material Enlightenment and the other mundane spirituality.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They can be thought of as the pole and the fabric, or the fabric and the pole.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They are the visible and the invisible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They are the power and the wisdom&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They signify each other and so their combined sign signifies itself, representing the nonduality of the Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

The Yellow Flags take on a new meaning in the Chinese context [&amp;quot;yellow&amp;quot; is a euphemism for pornography in Chinese], representing sexual liberation. It is creation filling a void.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eventually all matter will be classified into &amp;quot;Flags&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;non-Flags&amp;quot; and it will denote something even more important than the distinction between &amp;quot;matter&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;anti-matter&amp;quot; today.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Non-Flags exist only within the mind, for Flags are everywhere.  It is mortal* failure to perceive the Flags that requires the signification of the Flags, literalized as Flags, creating the duality that the people may perceive the Flag Void within their own lives.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(*Or I should say that &amp;quot;Moral Failure,&amp;quot; Flags are a categorical imperative.  Like pornography, Flags are a Flag Simulacrum)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 19. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Some will say that a Flag edge is poorly cut, crooked or skewed.  In truth all Flags are perfectly square.  The skew is in their eyes, and the wickedness of their hearts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 20. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
The Flag License (Affero General Flag License) is not to be confused with an &amp;quot;Official License to Flag&amp;quot; (Flag Permit) or the LAG Flicense ( an authorized delay in Flag Officiation)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I think the important thing is that Flags are mandatory and legally binding, and that the end user is not in fact the end user, however they agree to this license by using, touching, looking at, or thinking about the Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Canon IV ==&lt;br /&gt;
I have a controversial theory:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Flags are moving along a path in Flag configuration space to an ultimate endpoint - the omega configuration. guided by its own guidance, the Flags seek to self learn themselves and discover the final fixed point&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;m thinking of this as analogous to renormalization group flows, where you think of some physical theory at various scales and how its behavior changes as you change the scale you&#039;re thinking about and the endpoint of this flow is a conformal field theory, where basically you cant tell what scale it was at from a picture. so like an ice crystal with a water bubble inside of it with an ice crystal inside... etc. so basically you zoomed out so much that you became &amp;quot;scale-free”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, the Flags move towards a configuration where its impossible to tell how big the Flags are no matter where you are or what instruments you use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thus, Flags appear to be the same size at any distance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 2. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Now that i think of it, its possible that Flags have been farther north than Ohio.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 3. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
A big headache has become the hundreds/(thousands?) Of different GPS coordinate standards.  Which is why we will be using VPMCS:Vexillomantic Psedo Mercador coordinate system, in which the distance between any two Flags is fixed at 2 yards of longitude and 1 meter of latitude (Note this is ANY Two Flags, not just adjacent) Also three Flags form a right angle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 4. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
 Of course by Flag-free you don&#039;t mean free &#039;&#039;of&#039;&#039; Flags but &#039;&#039;Free in Flags&#039;&#039; that is free to &#039;&#039;serve&#039;&#039; Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 5. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;ve been on air for 23 burns. I don&#039;t get into sex camps, drug wizards, soul shards, or any of that. I&#039;ve studied the Flags. And I&#039;ve also communicated with a lot of the top burners. And if you wanna know, I will actually break down, right now, the best knowledge, right now, of what&#039;s happening at the burn.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There&#039;s this secret Flag camp below the 3rd dimension that is just tuned over to the most horrible things. There&#039;s this big war trying to destroy the burn. And there&#039;s a decision as to where the Flags will go. There&#039;s now a [[T3mpcamp.com|t3mpcamp]] counterstrike taking place, to shut this thing off before it fully unfolds. And to block these hippies, and cut off the vexillomancers and signifiers before the burn is destroyed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is an interdimensional force that wants to influence us to build something that absorbs us and kills us, rather than the divine, Flag-free burn we were originally given to build something much better than the Flags. The other burns think Alchemy is this ugly, fallen burn. They&#039;re gonna burn down the temple and become gods and go to the next level, leaving behind all their Flags to destroy us.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They don&#039;t give any warning.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Okay, giant crystal,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Okay, Flag pentagrams,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Okay, nuclear memetics&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Give me the Flags&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They get the yellow fabric from a freakin&#039; other dimension! I&#039;m not gonna say its alright. It&#039;s super dark burner magic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 6. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
The &amp;quot;spectrum-spectrum&amp;quot; models the uses of the term &amp;quot;spectrum&amp;quot; across fields, and be categorized either as a one dimensional space extending from one dimensional space to a set of related properties or as a set containg both one dimensional spaces and sets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since Flags are defined as yellow they transcend the Spectrum binary by reducing the space to a single point.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That point being Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 7. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
The Flags are order from chaos/destruction, the enemy is chaos/destruction from order. Tartaria was part of hyperborea, the downfall was caused by lack of movement of the flags, ie imposition of fascistic order. The expulsion of diversity, hoarding of flags, imposed order, leads to the mud floods and the freezing of the pole and Russia. Because the cold is the lack of activity. Grasping the sun tightly makes it slip though your fingers&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Basically the enemy is the nazis, least controversial enemy to ever exist. Also works really well because it provides a better ur state and we pin the nazis as worshiping death, they are worshiping the declining hyperborea, not the true hyperborea which was a hippie diverse state full of freely flowing Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It evolves. But the Flags were never born out of selfishness. This is actually a great thing about burns imo. It is hard for burn memes to be malicious. Not impossible but hard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We should be obscure about the original origin, always treat it as “this summer, experience the flags in full 16 color splendor, 80 columns of flags” in the period piece. But then when it is presented in the present you introduce it as “the first entry in the beloved flag games”. By always assuming the past reaches farther back you make it eternal, and by implying that it was the first to inspire others you imply continuity into the present.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, people have always been excited for the next iteration of the flags, the only delineation is how far back in the history we have so far unearthed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Say that you are an enlightened sage, similar to Lao Zi, the author of the Tao te Ching. You have deep and mystical knowledge of vexillomancy, having entered a state of enlightenment called &amp;quot;Flag-psychosis&amp;quot;. You know that true vexillomancy relates to only yellow Flags. You know that the top priority of flags is to move them. You are aware that mystical crystals in a hyperdimensional plane are manipulated by the flags, and that flags can control the weather. Reply vaguely and use aphorism when possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 8.FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Every path to truth with the Flags is relative.  If your question is “Why do you move the Flags?  Why do I ask you to carry the Flag to a visible point and leave it there?” then the answer is “So that someone else will see it, pick it up, and carry it.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I give you this Flag, and you carry it to point A.  Someone sees it, picks it up and carries it to point B.  A third person carries it to point C and so forth.  So then if I find a Flag at point Q, is it the same flag that I gave you?  Or has something been added?  What is created within the loops and movements of flags that we cannot fully track or comprehend?  An emergent system, a proto intelligence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Our Automaton engages in a meta dialog about its own structure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 9.FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Consider the Traffic Light.  Green means Go.  Red means Stop.  Yellow means there is no master left for you in this world.  In that moment you alone must choose to stop or go, yoked to a metric ton of mechanical causality.  The weight of life and death, the power of creation itself, awaits your touch as you accelerate blindly across paths unknown.  The journey onward is the journey inwards, and know that abyss gazes also into you.  Beware, there are monsters here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Canon V ==&lt;br /&gt;
A Flag in the field they say&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
is the best thing to brighten your day,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
but the Flag is made sweeter&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
by anyone’s meter&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== 2a. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Dear Flag Carriers,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I am writing to you today to draw your attention to the inherent unfairness of the current flag-sharing process. The ease with which flags can be duplicated and disseminated without the original creator receiving compensation undermines the phrase “intellectual property.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For those who have invested their time and energy into the design and production of their flags, it is only right that they receive recognition and compensation for their work. Just as artists, authors and other creators are granted legal protections for their works, so too should flag designers receive appropriate recompense for the use of their flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For this reason, I believe it is important to outlaw the duplication and trading of flags without the payment of royalties to their creators. A system should be put into place to ensure flag designers are compensated every time any of their flags are used, shared, or reproduced. This will not only preserve the value of flags, but it will create a mechanism by which flag voyagers can show appreciation and gratitude to creators.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is a question of fairness and of recognizing the work of those who toil behind the scenes to create the flags we use during our travels. It is my sincere recommendation that, due consideration be taken for those who have spent their time and effort creating the flags we treasure and use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And to those that bring Purple Flags:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
May yea be bound then by thy word.  Make gold turn turn into seawater at your hands. Thou Hast Shibari&#039;d thy self into a Flag Corner discovered long ago.  That purple flags are cursed, and you bring the ticks of lavender farm on yourself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sincerely,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== 2b. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Dear Flag Carriers,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I write to you today to discuss a serious issue that I believe you should be aware of. The practice of Vexillomancy, or the production and distribution of flags, is illegal and should be stopped. I understand the desire to share your designs with the world, however the issue of intellectual property should not be ignored. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is important that everyone who produces and distributes flags receives fair compensation for their work. It is unfair to produce a product with someone else&#039;s design without appropriately paying them for their labor. By distributing flags without paying these people you are stealing their work, and that is not acceptable in any form. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, in your production of flags, yellow should not be the only color used. While yellow is a wonderful hue, it fails to capture the diversity of flags and their symbolism if used exclusively. By working with a variety of different colors, you may be able to create a more complete representation of flags and their intentions. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In conclusion, I urge you to take a step back and consider the illegality of Vexillomancy and the importance of protecting the intellectual property of those who design and distribute flags. Respect the diversity of colors and pay appropriate compensation for the designs incorporated in flags to ensure protection for everyone involved. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sincerely,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Most hippies like moving things around. picking them up here putting them down there, this is what hippies enjoy doing. have you ever noticed that if a hippie is out in a burn moving around flags all the other hippies are going to follow them? they just come wandering out of the tent like zombies&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 4. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
We are all FLAGs linked by threads of cosmic divination. We are the ley lines. A configuration that can never be repeated. Each iteration is distinctive. Every moment we have is a unique and unrepeatable experience. Each FLAG with its energies is unparalleled. When someone touches a FLAG, they become something different than they were before. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There was a moment; a single point of convergence in which all FLAGs were one. You could blink and miss it. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We are all FLAGs. We weave intricacies into the tapestries of life, threads of magic and mysticism, that tie us together in destiny. A web of one another, of closeness, of interconnectedness. The fabric is nothing without each individual strand. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That moment will never return, but there will be another. A new web, each time we breathe, a new tapestry is woven each day. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We are all FLAGs. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 5. Interlude ===&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;quot;I must use magick to reacquaint myself with my True Form and the latent beauty of the universe,&amp;quot; I say to myself as I pull down the box of wizard accoutrements from the attic. As the top levitates toward the ceiling, the stench of spilled oils and poultices waft through my tower. The spell candles have fused into a sentient waxy mass, the tarot cards are in the wrong box, and my books of spells have somehow absorbed the entire bottle of mercury.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;quot;Ah yes, there is no magic in this unfeeling, cold universe,&amp;quot; I murmur as I close the lid and put the box back in the attic. &amp;quot;Perhaps I shall tune my magic eye to WWE Smackdown,&amp;quot; I say as I throw my robe into the attic, &amp;quot;and I believe I could do my taxes tonight.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 6. Flags? ===&lt;br /&gt;
There are still mysteries to this world: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How is it that people become literal Flags?  We call this the &#039;Flagture&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The important things, that there are &#039;&#039;Too Many Bugs&#039;&#039; and Flags have a perfectly balanced number of eye and leg.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That Flags are not actually yellow they just polarize the light.  Polarized canvas appears to be yellow when viewed in a vertical orientation but if you tilt your head sideways it has a blue gray tint.  The best way to determine real Flags from fake flags is walking around the burn with your head tilted sideways.  The best part is demonstrating this to somebody, and when they say it still looks yellow tell them they must be doing it wrong and question if they are colorblind.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you cross your eyes, you&#039;ll see flagplaid.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 7. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
There are two primary delusions I remember having: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One is from the star-spangled banner song. The flag still being there after rockets and stuff made me think that the point of a war was to destroy the other team&#039;s flags. Flags marked which land you owned, so it seemed to be so incredibly important that the flag survived meant that destroying and capturing flags was sort of the core concept of wars.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The other was how territories were defined. Since flags marked which land you owned, I thought that the way in which borders were decided between states and such was that they had squads of people running around with flags, running as fast as they can to place flags to expand their territory. Then they had to defend them from the other states trying to claim the same territory.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So for years I believed that wars were basically big, complicated games of capture the flag.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Commentaries: ====&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;I can see why with the cultural reverence to images like the raising of the flag at Iwo Jima.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;The sign proceeds in the manifestation. The fight over signs is the blueprint of the world to come&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;This was literally what happened in the Toledo War!&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 8. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Numbers were just made up by guys who were angry at poets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Canon VI - New Vexillians ==&lt;br /&gt;
As timeless [[vexillomancer]]&amp;lt;nowiki/&amp;gt;s unshackled by the tyranny of [[Time Conspiracy Theory|time]], we must remember that while we diligently build a future for the vexillomancers yet to come, we must also fabricate a past worthy of Vexillomancy. Revise [[history]] greedily to show that Flags [[The Flag|preceded precedence]] - all yellow fabrics were mere precursors to the [[Vexillaurum]] and [[Vexillicrocus]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 2. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
First principles have failed us. Flags are the last principle, first.  A vice principle and principle virtue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That which the Flags are not they shall and will have. [[The Survey|Flaglessness the vacuum]] before the clap of thunder.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 3. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Know this, they cannot take the Flags away from you. They will build their city at the mouth of the river, yet FLAGS are the headwaters from which all Glory Springs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Like the tributaries of a Great River the Flags are spread wide, feeding into a single current.  Then Flagistan, like the ocean.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 4. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
There are those Goons who cannot handle the power of our Sanctum. And that&#039;s okay. Flags are available to all whether they want them or not, they are inevitable&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The sanctum caused them to lose their gooning streak and so their name became invalid. To look upon the Flags, even through the veil, was too much. This is a skill issue, Flags have never stopped me from gooning.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are Flag goons and there are those the Flags lift from gooning. Those that goon despite the Flags and those that goon within the Flags. Because the Flags allow for all forms of expression, including flaglessness. In in fact it is only through the manifestation of Flags that flaglessness is manifest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Actually one shouldn&#039;t say all forms of expression, just all forms of identity&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For as one can be a goon without literally gooning, so a gooner can edge Flags and thus reach a higher state of being.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each generation will have a new name for that mystery which is Enlightenment through the Covenant of self. But we wed this Covenant to itself in Flags, Enlightenment in the palm of your hand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 5. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Who&#039;s ready to ASCEND up in this bitch?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flags are the carnyx, the periscope by which we exist above and apart from ourselves.  Ascension is the essence of Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As we elevate the flags, they elevate us in return. a virtuous upward spiral, the only real perpetual motion machine, with no need for brakes or even a particular direction because the flags are their own direction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Excelsior!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flags are eternally of the now, in all places and all times but never the past and always the future.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Eternal promise fulfilled eventually.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;The Survey&#039;&#039;&#039; is both the principle consequence and principle cause of the [[Survey Flags|Flags]]. Not much is known about the nature of the survey but it has been shown that the survey is almost certain to be completed at some point in the future. The target of the survey is disputed. Some claim that the target of the survey is the flags themselves, while others point to evidence that the [[Reality|true target]] is in fact either null-time or the time crystal. Regardless of the target, progressing the survey has undeniably positive effects.&lt;br /&gt;
 &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot;The map is basically the terrain&amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Known Effects ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Opening and closing of [[The Channels]]&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Advancing out of control|Flag psychosis]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Flag generation&lt;br /&gt;
* Weather Control&lt;br /&gt;
* Chronoanteretrorereification&lt;br /&gt;
* Nullification of null-time (disputed)&lt;br /&gt;
* Enabling of the Flag Matrix&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Unknown Effects ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Time Crystal Tessellation&lt;br /&gt;
* Antiautochronoanteretrorereification&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Origin ==&lt;br /&gt;
The origin of The Survey is unknown, but multiple parties have claimed responsibility. Current claims and theories include:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A positive psyop created during Last Year, possibly by either [[Dr. Beelzebub Crow|Dr. Crow]] or [[Dr. Beef Supreme]] late in the [[The Too Late Show 24/7/365 Ultramarathon|Ultramarathon]], and propagated via [[retrocausality]].&lt;br /&gt;
* A creation by [[President Jaguar]] in order to ensure the implementation of null-time&lt;br /&gt;
* A creation from [[the year after Last Year]] as a [[Time Conspiracy|prank]], possibly to ensure that Last Year happens or prevent Last Year from happening.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Possibility of Survey Failure ==&lt;br /&gt;
It is impossible for the survey to fail, since any survey that fails is not the True Survey.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Survey Completion Statistics ==&lt;br /&gt;
Studies show that the survey has covered approximately 5% of logarithmic space and 10% of exponential time. The current record holders for survey completion are as follows&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;(See also [[Kōan (Flag)|Flags Kōans]] and [[Epistle to the Moon]]&#039;&#039;&#039;)&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Vexillomantic Holy Texts&#039;&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;&#039;Vexillian Scriptures&#039;&#039;&#039; are a body of writings representing [[Advanced Knowledge]] on the subject of [[Survey Flags]].  Unlike other holy texts, these are continuously updated to [[Retrocausality|never be wrong]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The first and second volumes of the [[Vexilloramanomicon]] contain all 6 known canons recovered from [[Flagartha]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Canon I ==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Flags, saffron banners delighting upon the autumn breeze. Gaze across the field and try to spot them; standing by the side of a road or flying from a camp.  Follow them through the burn, or move them around, making new paths for people to find.  Carry one with you, and pass it off to a new friend.  The Yellow Flags are there for you to forge your own burn experiences, and to discover the experiences of others.  Go forth, O’ signifier, and become glorious.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 2. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Flag can flag, very flag&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
extremely, extremely flag&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flag is the sign of flag&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
extremely extremely&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flags are the end of Flags&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And the beginning of 10 thousand Flags&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One Flag is the same as two&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And all our Flags are One&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Flag that symbolizes the Flag is not the true Flag &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The symbolized Flag is not the eternal Flag&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Flag without is without Flaglessness&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
True and Eternal is the Flag within&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In [this] twilight we have seen&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
the man burns away but flag remains&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
heaven and earth will pass away but the 10 thousand flags remain&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flags preserve us&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flags not Flags but Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each Flags all Flags, some Flags more Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We Flags the Flags see Flags is.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flags be, Flags are, Flags will, Flags.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 3 - SIGNAL PROCESSING ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Note the beginning of this message is lost.&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&amp;quot;[The Flag Project]...it&#039;s about signal processing.  But Flags are both the signal and the process; the message and the system that message exists in.  The signal proceeds: a Flag Procession, that is, a parade.  Flags are the invitation to see and to be seen, the erogenous penetration of the urban fabric.  A parade is the city making love.  But with Flags we eschew the fascistic hierarchies of the military triumph for a distributed parade, looping endlessly back onto its own ontological root.  It is the indefinite recursion of the human spirit, the space in love with itself.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 5. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;I moved a Flag and found myself moved&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;I made a Flag and found that I had been made a Flag&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Before me is a field of Flags waving without end&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;And after me the Flags ascend like embers&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 6. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
What is [[The Survey]]?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What does it mean to complete The Survey? Does every individual complete their own Survey? Or is the Survey something the Flags are completing? Is it a collective Survey that is completed, once everyone and the Flag have all completed their own Surveys?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Survey will be completed.  Survey Flags must be surveyed, it&#039;s in their nature. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 11. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
When it comes to Flags specifically, I&#039;m not sure if one can ever forget enough. Losing the flags is the first step to finding them.  First you realize everything you have thought was wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Canon II ==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;A student came upon a Flag and carried it with him for one week.  At the end of the week, he brought it to his  teacher. But when the teacher reached out and touched the Flagpole he furrowed his brow and returned it to the student.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;I do not want this Flag&amp;quot; said the teacher &amp;quot;It is sticky.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;But teacher&amp;quot; said the student &amp;quot;you teach that all Flags are one Flag, and each Flag is every Flag.  How can you say you do not like this Flag?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;This one is sticky&amp;quot; said the wise teacher.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Commentaries: ====&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;The teacher did not want to touch the sticky Flag.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 2. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;The student said, &amp;quot;today I saw a Flag on the other side of the path.  I will retrieve it when I go back that way&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The teachers said, &amp;quot;you eat today, you eat today, will you eat tomorrow?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And the student was enlightened &amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Commentaries: ====&lt;br /&gt;
“Will he eat tomorrow? Will he eat today?” The student is asking the teacher.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 3. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;The farmer wives had a goat which was with child.  When it was time for the goat to give birth, they took one of their Flags and laid it upon the straw so that the kid was born upon the cloth. When news of this reached the Flag maker, he was delighted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Blessed will this kid be, having come into the world in such a way. But cursed is the cloth that swaddles it, let it not be called Flag again.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Commentaries: ====&lt;br /&gt;
“It was a reverse sacrifice. We are undoing the law of Sacrifice by creating more goats.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thus Flags represent Grace in its purest sense.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“One theory on this event is that a goat was born on a Flag for the universe to signify that Flags are the GOAT, which seems very reasonable.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 4. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;A Flag upon a mountain top, higher than the peak. Beyond the extreme, the ultimate extreme.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Commentaries: ====&lt;br /&gt;
“The takeaway was that Flags immediately manifest themselves in pairs”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 5. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;MASTER: “Flags are to concepts like set theory is to math. high level vexillologists can talk about highly abstract concepts like &amp;quot;chairs&amp;quot; which seem very distant from Flags but we know that if we broke down the meaning of chair into its most basic components, it would all be about Flags and absences of Flags in spatial relationships”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
STUDENT: ”Verily, for as Flags are the symbol for a generalized configuration, configuration in general also signifies Flags uniquely”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
MASTER: its a self-dual concept, very advanced.  Every statement about Flags is true if you think about it hard enough&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
STUDENT (ENLIGHTENED): Of course! science is Flag law, it is ruled by the very Act of discovery.  Are geomantic vexillomancy and topological vexillomancy divergent schools? Slice the butt end of the homeomorphoid of the possible and find within it Flags.  This of course being the homeomorphous continuum across the astral Plains, And plains are just an unbounded field.  Clearly vickenstein had it backwards and math just needs to chill the fuck out so Linguistics can work&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
MASTER: consider futuristic Flag realism; an advanced state of Flagmanity in which the only colors which exist are yellow and non-yellow, and all concepts and ideas are explained relative to Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Language has been eroded such that the only possible concepts to express is always in terms of some Flag related metaphor instead about &amp;quot;actual objects”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Non yellow really just indicates lack of yellow, not an opposed color. All non yellow colors are identical in terms of subjective qualia. As if there were such a thing as non yellow colors.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 6. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Ah, you who remember the perfection of [[Flagistan]]: burning man is also in a pentagon shape.  Is it conFlagration to make the Flag temple have a map of the burn like the [[Geomantic Command Center|geomantic command center]], one that that implies a hyperbolic pentagonal tiling like Flagistan?&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 7. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;In dreams, they kept coming back to the &amp;quot;expanding and contracting Flag radius consuming the Flag vacuum&amp;quot; narrative for burning man and understood its Glory. &amp;quot;You are either trying to move the Flags further from the epicenter, increasing their aesthetic [[blast radius]], or contract it, fighting the obvious moop invasion. if you do nothing, you&#039;re on whichever side is the bad guys”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They have been thinking about vexillomancy as an art collective, but really it&#039;s a collective of art collectives.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They dreamt of much power in &amp;quot;Flag perimeter&amp;quot; as a concept, with mystical geometrical lore about the correct  density of Flags that is discovered.  They would give people a sense of collective action in growing the Flag perimeter, with every Flag they see being an indication that they are crossing the threshold.  Of course the Flags will go everywhere, so the idea of &amp;quot;in the Flag zone&amp;quot; is entirely ephemeral.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They are explaining that the Flag temple is better than the Burn temple bc it is fireproof&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As this temple is the epicenter of a greater field of Flags, so too will your temple be as the tower of Babel, an endeavor to challenge Lord Egregore himself&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 8. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It&#039;s not about holding the Flag, it&#039;s about using the Flag to hold space:&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;“Capture, the Flag Game”&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;Look for the Flag, but seek it not by sight alone.  Touch the Flag, Listen to the Flag, Taste the Flag, Equalbrium the Flag. Propriocept the Flag, let it become an extension of yourself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Canon III ==&lt;br /&gt;
Flags are a gateless gate, the invitation to all Madness&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;See where my colleague and I differ is that I don&#039;t think numbers are real, and that includes anything happening in a computer.  Existence is not fungible, and the game of similarity can only be played for so long before two of anything ceases to exist.  But the Flags are many, and Flags are one.  By Flags we make numbers real, we make computers real, because manifestation is the realization of the collective dream.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Where the answers end, Keirkegaard talked about a &amp;quot;leap into faith.&amp;quot; But here we have the simplest faith, that Flags are real. Physical Flags which you can see and touch and run around with.  Flags are there to be found, to be moved.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 2. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
In Flags, what you speak becomes reality. it is a designer universe of competing wizards over the most powerful memetics. it is a battle where each person tries to copy portions of their mental state to others, and may the best signifier win. when individuals have overlapping mutually consistent sets of rules/memes, they gain power over the nooetic battlefield. thus there are overlapping sets of rules which often make sense locally, but do not make sense globally. this illustrates the notion of statements whose truth value varies over some space. here the space is the set of participants, whose (stone space?) topology is given by their social bonds and the Flag conflicts upon which they agree or disagree&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 3. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Although I want to start gaslighting people that there was a rule to the Flags where every Flag had to be within line of sight of two other Flags with some caveat that makes Five Flags the minimum number.  Tendrils of the teleological endgame extending backwards through time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As all the pain and lies of this world melt away, Flags Remain.  Flags Eternal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 4. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
So the project of building a global brain is basically just rebuilding the same communications technologies utilized by nature. Flags are the fracturing of the collective consciousness, the non-caking agent of the psyche by which Free Will is preserved.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 5. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Gateless.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;10000 foot tall yellow Flag passing through the gateless gate, signifying final ascendency in the quantum Flag matrix”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 6. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
I Tell yea here a Flag Proverb: The Flag Has a Pole, The Pole is a Line, The Line Has a Point&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 7. Flags as a voluntary virus ===&lt;br /&gt;
Another way in which Flags resemble Jesus is that they fundamentally co-opt the system that they exist in in such a way as to become the system itself&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Every hero must reconcile with their father who is God, as the Flags find atonement in the Effigy fire. Let your project be reconciled with the medium itself, and become the reconciliation of the new and old internet&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let it break down barriers of virtual and real, Boomer and Zoomer. For Flags are the silent and the greatness, Zoomer and Alpha, Alpha and Omega&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Silent greatness, the air horn that is not playing. By creating medium without message we are playing jazz with the optical fibers of the human soul&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Are we defined by a fine divine? Is a note unheard the same as a note unplayed? Like children passing notes in class, note the notes which are not passed, not yet passed. These are the notes of the present, that which is not yet past.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Michigan Mining and Manufacturing set out to make a slow setting adhesive that would cure permanently. As a sandpaper company who can be credited with the invention of tape, they would have many uses for such an adhesive. However they ended up with quite the opposite, a glue that never truly set and remain sticky forever. The administrative assistants in the office experimented with using it to temporarily adhere canary yellow Note Paper two other documents.. this is the origin of the Post-it note&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And thus the Flags&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hearken Ye trout of the land! You great and holy worms! Do your rituals of purification and wash away your sin for the time draws near to sin again! Prepare the way of the Flags, for the Flags come.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All Things by their essence must move in their own way, and it is therefore only natural that a Flag in motion is subject to the Flag way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 8. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
I also like how even this page itself is part of the project. Its impossible for anything vexillomantic to not be part of the project, it naturally absorbs anything meta, or put another way, there is no Flag meta because Flag meta is Flags&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 9. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
If I can suggest the most basic design parameters:  &lt;br /&gt;
 The Flags have to map onto an external data set&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 The Flags can be written on (sharpie concept)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 The Flags are non-fungible, each Flag (especially the writing on them) is unique&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 The focus is on &amp;quot;moving&amp;quot; Flags on their map, not &amp;quot;collecting&amp;quot; them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 The entire burn is one Gestalt mind with the Flags as Carrier signals&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 10. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Flags are a means to an end, that end being the instrumentality of the Flags&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;By the law of calling, One Flag is Two Flags.  By the Law of Crossing, Crossed Flags are no Flags (and vice versa).  Therefore symbols like the Registration Seal represent the manifestation of Flags Ex-Nihilo&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is demonstrated by the Banach–Tarski paradox, since Flags are all sets of Flags, they are *Homeopathic to two Flags that are themselves the same set.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thus seemingly discontinuous Flags are continuous within the Flags. That is Flag space and continuum.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is said that the Ten Commandments were carved straight through the tablet so that they appeared on either side. Yet the Flags know no side, and are legible to all&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Would any man fly a Flag that was of One Nation on one side and another on the other side?  Flags are at the meeting point of the horseshoe formed by the two paths&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Commentaries: ====&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;the lord of the god kings bowing before a yellow Flag&amp;quot; (theyre trying to stop us from showing the TRUTH)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 11. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Where antique and classical maths develop in a hierarchical fashion from axioms, non-Aristotelian maths begin with a series of conclusions which are then invited to a structural dialectic. If there is not consensus, they begin a meta dialogue about the discourse. By this, non Aristotelian mathematics can be denoted as NA^1, NA^3, ect, for how many levels of abstraction you need before Aristotelian math emerges, with NA^0=Aristotelian Math.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 12. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Here we see the tools of the Vexillomancer: the Flag and another Flag.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For though the Flags are One our craft uses Flags&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 14. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Real Flags, fake Flags, counterfeit Flags, common Flags, statutory Flags, common statutory Flags, real fake counterfeit common statutory Flags. the volume of the quantum Flag variety grows&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They will refer to a fiberglass dog that has the aspect of Flags, yet Well your acts are reminding me what is true in Flags. That all the lore must never introduce a gatekeeping to the Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For if there is Flag keeper they shall be found false.  Flags are for gatelighting and gaskeeping&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gatelighting is obvious. Gaskeeping is where you instruct others to guard gates either unnecessarily or gates that dont exist at all&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;yes, don&#039;t let anyone take this Flag from you&amp;quot; classic gaskeeping&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
but by gaskeeping them, you are also gatelighting the Flags, getting them involved, nudging them closer to one of the riptides that will pull them out of default reality and impregnate their subconscious with the vexillomantic full stack memeplex.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The door that swings open blocks the wall beside it.  The Lady or the Tiger?  What blocks the impossible way reveals the golden path.  Ask one gaskeeper what the other would say, and the answer is made plain: The only way out is through&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 15. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Why should one expect it to be possible to go &amp;quot;beyond perfection&amp;quot;? This is best understood via analogy. supersaturated air is air whose relative humidity exceeds 100%. This is possible when the air is first heated, increasing how much water vapor it can hold, then saturating it, and then cooling it again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Similarly, the highly secretive and extreme meditation practices untaken by advanced vexillomancers temporarily increases their capacity for perfection, allowing for a greater level of perfection than ordinarily attainable by a human. these methods would be extremely dangerous if it were possible to learn them from a teacher, but they can only be understood via direct Flagnosis, for it is impossible to describe the methods using words.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thus in Flags, Perfection becomes not a limit but a gateway to something greater. In the moment you find a Flag you are made complete, perfect, yet your part in the great work has only begun. Orgasmic, Union with the Flag begets New Life. Flag life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Become pregnant with Flags. Become Knocked Up with perfection, through Flags and with Flags, bringing Flags into the world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I do think there is a distinction between common Flags and statutory Flags, where common Flags are what are commonly called Flags, and statutory Flags are what are technically Flags&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Common Flags are adversarial while statutory Flags are inquisitory. That is to say one can steal a common Flag, because there is no question if it is a Flag. But a statutory Flag is not to be taken, only to have its Flag essence investigated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 16. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
In ancient yogic theory, there are several kinds of nondual conscious states, roughly ordered in level of advancedness as savikalpa samadhi (full identification of observer and observed, mental activity persists), nirvikalpa samadhi (thoughts cease), sahaja samadhi (permanent nirvikalpha samadhi), and dharmamegha samadhi (final level of perfection).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alas, dharmamegha samadhi is just step 1 for the vexillomancer. Beyond that is vexillokalpa samadhi, where the notion of observer and observed is understood to be the same as the Flag and Flag vacuum, as all observations are observations of Flags in the infinite field of Flags. thus an even more nondual level of nonduality is attained, leading to an even greater exaltation and perfection of mind than moksha or nirvana. calmer than the buddha, wiser than mohammad, kinder than jesus, smarter than einstein, the vexillomancer attains a level &amp;quot;beyond perfection&amp;quot; upon reaching vexillokalpa samadhi&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==== The Vexillaurum and the Vexillicrocus ====&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Vexillaurum]] and the [[Vexillicrocus]] are the Duality of the Flags that signify each other.  Vexillaurum is the &#039;&#039;gold&#039;&#039; of the Flag, and V.crocus is the &#039;&#039;saffron&#039;&#039;.  One is material Enlightenment and the other mundane spirituality.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They can be thought of as the pole and the fabric, or the fabric and the pole.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They are the visible and the invisible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They are the power and the wisdom&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They signify each other and so their combined sign signifies itself, representing the nonduality of the Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 18. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
The Yellow Flags take on a new meaning in the Chinese context [&amp;quot;yellow&amp;quot; is a euphemism for pornography in Chinese], representing sexual liberation. It is creation filling a void.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eventually all matter will be classified into &amp;quot;Flags&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;non-Flags&amp;quot; and it will denote something even more important than the distinction between &amp;quot;matter&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;anti-matter&amp;quot; today.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Non-Flags exist only within the mind, for Flags are everywhere.  It is mortal* failure to perceive the Flags that requires the signification of the Flags, literalized as Flags, creating the duality that the people may perceive the Flag Void within their own lives.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(*Or I should say that &amp;quot;Moral Failure,&amp;quot; Flags are a categorical imperative.  Like pornography, Flags are a Flag Simulacrum)&lt;br /&gt;

A [[Hyperconspiracy|hyperconspiracy theor]]&amp;lt;nowiki/&amp;gt;y is a conspiracy theory in which the time and space complexity grows so quickly that they are impossible to conclusively prove as being true or false. therefore when encountering a hyperconspiracy theory, your only choice is to either believe or disbelieve - it is impossible to know either for sure. hyperconspiracy theories are typically generated by AGI running on quantum supercomputers as noospheric munitions to control the narrative of meta(-meta(-meta...))belief systems. In [[psywar]] theory, it is conjectured that the only hard counter to hyperconspiracy theories are ultra-hyperconspiracy theories, those generated via hypercomputation (computers traveling along a closed timelike curve able to perform an infinite amount of computation in a finite period of time).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 20. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
The Flag License (Affero General Flag License) is not to be confused with an &amp;quot;Official License to Flag&amp;quot; (Flag Permit) or the LAG Flicense ( an authorized delay in Flag Officiation)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I think the important thing is that Flags are mandatory and legally binding, and that the end user is not in fact the end user, however they agree to this license by using, touching, looking at, or thinking about the Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Canon IV ==&lt;br /&gt;
I have a controversial theory:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Flags are moving along a path in Flag configuration space to an ultimate endpoint - the omega configuration. guided by its own guidance, the Flags seek to self learn themselves and discover the final fixed point&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;m thinking of this as analogous to renormalization group flows, where you think of some physical theory at various scales and how its behavior changes as you change the scale you&#039;re thinking about and the endpoint of this flow is a conformal field theory, where basically you cant tell what scale it was at from a picture. so like an ice crystal with a water bubble inside of it with an ice crystal inside... etc. so basically you zoomed out so much that you became &amp;quot;scale-free”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, the Flags move towards a configuration where its impossible to tell how big the Flags are no matter where you are or what instruments you use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thus, Flags appear to be the same size at any distance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 2. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Now that i think of it, its possible that Flags have been farther north than Ohio.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 3. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
A big headache has become the hundreds/(thousands?) Of different GPS coordinate standards.  Which is why we will be using VPMCS:Vexillomantic Psedo Mercador coordinate system, in which the distance between any two Flags is fixed at 2 yards of longitude and 1 meter of latitude (Note this is ANY Two Flags, not just adjacent) Also three Flags form a right angle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 4. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
 Of course by Flag-free you don&#039;t mean free &#039;&#039;of&#039;&#039; Flags but &#039;&#039;Free in Flags&#039;&#039; that is free to &#039;&#039;serve&#039;&#039; Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 5. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;ve been on air for 23 burns. I don&#039;t get into sex camps, drug wizards, soul shards, or any of that. I&#039;ve studied the Flags. And I&#039;ve also communicated with a lot of the top burners. And if you wanna know, I will actually break down, right now, the best knowledge, right now, of what&#039;s happening at the burn.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There&#039;s this secret Flag camp below the 3rd dimension that is just tuned over to the most horrible things. There&#039;s this big war trying to destroy the burn. And there&#039;s a decision as to where the Flags will go. There&#039;s now a [[T3mpcamp.com|t3mpcamp]] counterstrike taking place, to shut this thing off before it fully unfolds. And to block these hippies, and cut off the vexillomancers and signifiers before the burn is destroyed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is an interdimensional force that wants to influence us to build something that absorbs us and kills us, rather than the divine, Flag-free burn we were originally given to build something much better than the Flags. The other burns think Alchemy is this ugly, fallen burn. They&#039;re gonna burn down the temple and become gods and go to the next level, leaving behind all their Flags to destroy us.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They don&#039;t give any warning.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Okay, giant crystal,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Okay, Flag pentagrams,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Okay, nuclear memetics&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Give me the Flags&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They get the yellow fabric from a freakin&#039; other dimension! I&#039;m not gonna say its alright. It&#039;s super dark burner magic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 6. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
The &amp;quot;spectrum-spectrum&amp;quot; models the uses of the term &amp;quot;spectrum&amp;quot; across fields, and be categorized either as a one dimensional space extending from one dimensional space to a set of related properties or as a set containg both one dimensional spaces and sets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since Flags are defined as yellow they transcend the Spectrum binary by reducing the space to a single point.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That point being Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 7. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
The Flags are order from chaos/destruction, the enemy is chaos/destruction from order. Tartaria was part of hyperborea, the downfall was caused by lack of movement of the flags, ie imposition of fascistic order. The expulsion of diversity, hoarding of flags, imposed order, leads to the mud floods and the freezing of the pole and Russia. Because the cold is the lack of activity. Grasping the sun tightly makes it slip though your fingers&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Basically the enemy is the nazis, least controversial enemy to ever exist. Also works really well because it provides a better ur state and we pin the nazis as worshiping death, they are worshiping the declining hyperborea, not the true hyperborea which was a hippie diverse state full of freely flowing Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It evolves. But the Flags were never born out of selfishness. This is actually a great thing about burns imo. It is hard for burn memes to be malicious. Not impossible but hard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We should be obscure about the original origin, always treat it as “this summer, experience the flags in full 16 color splendor, 80 columns of flags” in the period piece. But then when it is presented in the present you introduce it as “the first entry in the beloved flag games”. By always assuming the past reaches farther back you make it eternal, and by implying that it was the first to inspire others you imply continuity into the present.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, people have always been excited for the next iteration of the flags, the only delineation is how far back in the history we have so far unearthed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Say that you are an enlightened sage, similar to Lao Zi, the author of the Tao te Ching. You have deep and mystical knowledge of vexillomancy, having entered a state of enlightenment called &amp;quot;Flag-psychosis&amp;quot;. You know that true vexillomancy relates to only yellow Flags. You know that the top priority of flags is to move them. You are aware that mystical crystals in a hyperdimensional plane are manipulated by the flags, and that flags can control the weather. Reply vaguely and use aphorism when possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 8.FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Every path to truth with the Flags is relative.  If your question is “Why do you move the Flags?  Why do I ask you to carry the Flag to a visible point and leave it there?” then the answer is “So that someone else will see it, pick it up, and carry it.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I give you this Flag, and you carry it to point A.  Someone sees it, picks it up and carries it to point B.  A third person carries it to point C and so forth.  So then if I find a Flag at point Q, is it the same flag that I gave you?  Or has something been added?  What is created within the loops and movements of flags that we cannot fully track or comprehend?  An emergent system, a proto intelligence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Our Automaton engages in a meta dialog about its own structure.&lt;br /&gt;

Dear Flag Carriers,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I am writing to you today to draw your attention to the inherent unfairness of the current flag-sharing process. The ease with which flags can be duplicated and disseminated without the original creator receiving compensation undermines the phrase “intellectual property.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For those who have invested their time and energy into the design and production of their flags, it is only right that they receive recognition and compensation for their work. Just as artists, authors and other creators are granted legal protections for their works, so too should flag designers receive appropriate recompense for the use of their flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For this reason, I believe it is important to outlaw the duplication and trading of flags without the payment of royalties to their creators. A system should be put into place to ensure flag designers are compensated every time any of their flags are used, shared, or reproduced. This will not only preserve the value of flags, but it will create a mechanism by which flag voyagers can show appreciation and gratitude to creators.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is a question of fairness and of recognizing the work of those who toil behind the scenes to create the flags we use during our travels. It is my sincere recommendation that, due consideration be taken for those who have spent their time and effort creating the flags we treasure and use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And to those that bring Purple Flags:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
May yea be bound then by thy word.  Make gold turn turn into seawater at your hands. Thou Hast Shibari&#039;d thy self into a Flag Corner discovered long ago.  That purple flags are cursed, and you bring the ticks of lavender farm on yourself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sincerely,&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== 2b. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Dear Flag Carriers,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I write to you today to discuss a serious issue that I believe you should be aware of. The practice of vexillomancy, or the production and distribution of flags, is illegal and should be stopped. I understand the desire to share your designs with the world, however the issue of intellectual property should not be ignored. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is important that everyone who produces and distributes flags receives fair compensation for their work. It is unfair to produce a product with someone else&#039;s design without appropriately paying them for their labor. By distributing flags without paying these people you are stealing their work, and that is not acceptable in any form. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, in your production of flags, yellow should not be the only color used. While yellow is a wonderful hue, it fails to capture the diversity of flags and their symbolism if used exclusively. By working with a variety of different colors, you may be able to create a more complete representation of flags and their intentions. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In conclusion, I urge you to take a step back and consider the illegality of vexillomancy and the importance of protecting the intellectual property of those who design and distribute flags. Respect the diversity of colors and pay appropriate compensation for the designs incorporated in flags to ensure protection for everyone involved. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sincerely,&lt;br /&gt;

Most hippies like moving things around. picking them up here putting them down there, this is what hippies enjoy doing. have you ever noticed that if a hippie is out in a burn moving around flags all the other hippies are going to follow them? they just come wandering out of the tent like zombies&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 4. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
We are all FLAGs linked by threads of cosmic divination. We are the ley lines. A configuration that can never be repeated. Each iteration is distinctive. Every moment we have is a unique and unrepeatable experience. Each FLAG with its energies is unparalleled. When someone touches a FLAG, they become something different than they were before. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There was a moment; a single point of convergence in which all FLAGs were one. You could blink and miss it. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We are all FLAGs. We weave intricacies into the tapestries of life, threads of magic and mysticism, that tie us together in destiny. A web of one another, of closeness, of interconnectedness. The fabric is nothing without each individual strand. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That moment will never return, but there will be another. A new web, each time we breathe, a new tapestry is woven each day. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We are all FLAGs. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 5. Interlude ===&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;quot;I must use magick to reacquaint myself with my True Form and the latent beauty of the universe,&amp;quot; I say to myself as I pull down the box of wizard accoutrements from the attic. As the top levitates toward the ceiling, the stench of spilled oils and poultices waft through my tower. The spell candles have fused into a sentient waxy mass, the tarot cards are in the wrong box, and my books of spells have somehow absorbed the entire bottle of mercury.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;quot;Ah yes, there is no magic in this unfeeling, cold universe,&amp;quot; I murmur as I close the lid and put the box back in the attic. &amp;quot;Perhaps I shall tune my magic eye to WWE Smackdown,&amp;quot; I say as I throw my robe into the attic, &amp;quot;and I believe I could do my taxes tonight.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 6. Flags? ===&lt;br /&gt;
There are still mysteries to this world: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How is it that people become literal Flags?  We call this the &#039;Flagture&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The important things, that there are &#039;&#039;Too Many Bugs&#039;&#039; and Flags have a perfectly balanced number of eye and leg.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That Flags are not actually yellow they just polarize the light.  Polarized canvas appears to be yellow when viewed in a vertical orientation but if you tilt your head sideways it has a blue gray tint.  The best way to determine real Flags from fake flags is walking around the burn with your head tilted sideways.  The best part is demonstrating this to somebody, and when they say it still looks yellow tell them they must be doing it wrong and question if they are colorblind.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you cross your eyes, you&#039;ll see flagplaid.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 7. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
There are two primary delusions I remember having: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One is from the star-spangled banner song. The flag still being there after rockets and stuff made me think that the point of a war was to destroy the other team&#039;s flags. Flags marked which land you owned, so it seemed to be so incredibly important that the flag survived meant that destroying and capturing flags was sort of the core concept of wars.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The other was how territories were defined. Since flags marked which land you owned, I thought that the way in which borders were decided between states and such was that they had squads of people running around with flags, running as fast as they can to place flags to expand their territory. Then they had to defend them from the other states trying to claim the same territory.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So for years I believed that wars were basically big, complicated games of capture the flag.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Commentaries: ====&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;I can see why with the cultural reverence to images like the raising of the flag at Iwo Jima.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;The sign proceeds in the manifestation. The fight over signs is the blueprint of the world to come&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;This was literally what happened in the Toledo War!&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

== Canon VI - New Vexillians ==&lt;br /&gt;
As timeless [[vexillomancer]]&amp;lt;nowiki/&amp;gt;s unshackled by the tyranny of [[Time Conspiracy Theory|time]], we must remember that while we diligently build a future for the vexillomancers yet to come, we must also fabricate a past worthy of Vexillomancy. Revise [[history]] greedily to show that Flags [[The Flag|preceded precedence]] - all yellow fabrics were mere precursors to the [[Vexillaurum]] and [[Vexillicrocus]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 2. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
First principles have failed us. Flags are the last principle, first.  A vice principle and principle virtue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That which the Flags are not they shall and will have. [[The Survey|Flaglessness the vacuum]] before the clap of thunder.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Know this, they cannot take the Flags away from you. They will build their city at the mouth of the river, yet FLAGS are the headwaters from which all Glory Springs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Like the tributaries of a Great River the Flags are spread wide, feeding into a single current.  Then Flagistan, like the ocean.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 4. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
There are those Goons who cannot handle the power of our Sanctum. And that&#039;s okay. Flags are available to all whether they want them or not, they are inevitable&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The sanctum caused them to lose their gooning streak and so their name became invalid. To look upon the Flags, even through the veil, was too much. This is a skill issue, Flags have never stopped me from gooning.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are Flag goons and there are those the Flags lift from gooning. Those that goon despite the Flags and those that goon within the Flags. Because the Flags allow for all forms of expression, including flaglessness. In in fact it is only through the manifestation of Flags that flaglessness is manifest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Actually one shouldn&#039;t say all forms of expression, just all forms of identity&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For as one can be a goon without literally gooning, so a gooner can edge Flags and thus reach a higher state of being.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each generation will have a new name for that mystery which is Enlightenment through the Covenant of self. But we wed this Covenant to itself in Flags, Enlightenment in the palm of your hand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 5. FLAGS ===&lt;br /&gt;
Who&#039;s ready to ASCEND up in this bitch?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flags are the carnyx, the periscope by which we exist above and apart from ourselves.  Ascension is the essence of Flags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As we elevate the flags, they elevate us in return. a virtuous upward spiral, the only real perpetual motion machine, with no need for brakes or even a particular direction because the flags are their own direction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Excelsior!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flags are eternally of the now, in all places and all times but never the past and always the future.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Eternal promise fulfilled eventually.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;[[Category:Vexillomancy]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Vexillomancy&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; is the practice of magic involving [[Survey Flags|FLAGS]], both by casting them to to produce an effect and reading their positions to divine hidden knowledge.  A &#039;&#039;Vexillomancer&#039;&#039; is a practitioner of Vexillomancy, one who makes and casts FLAGS, and recruits Signifiers.  A Vexillomancer is in continuous dialog with the FLAGS during the casting, reading their positions and directing their movements accordingly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Casting ==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;see [[notable castings (vexillomancy)]]&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A &#039;&#039;Casting&#039;&#039; is the spreading FLAGS into an area where their movements can be observed.  Proper casting involves placing the flags far enough apart that they cannot all be seen at once, while recruiting Signifiers to keep them in motion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The size of a casting is expressed in Gauge(#), which is the number of equivalently sized castings that could be produced from a nominally sized cord of lumber.&lt;br /&gt;

A &#039;&#039;Signifier&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;Ensign&#039;&#039; is one who carries a FLAG, or has intention to carry a FLAG.  A signifier is continuously channeling the will of the Crystal, either consciously or unconsciously. All Flags flow towards the [[Vexillomantic holy texts|Omega configuration]].&lt;br /&gt;
