From the 1993 "Kinetic Engineering" VHS tape. Audio replaced with CD version. Originally from the 1992 album "Man-Amplified".

Could be said to be the ultimate software, once programmed it expands indefinitely, redeveloping its own structure and evolution, designing new systems so that it can activate new forms of existence, outgrowing its own limitations as it proliferates to new states of being. The final program could also be the development of the finest organic computer we at present know. The human brain whose limitless capacity we have never harnessed, but whose possibilities are endless. The quest for the development of evolution can move in two ways, outwards or inwards. The outward projection seems to have progressed and developed more rapidly than the inward, eventually if we are succeed then the two must join. For eons this knowledge of arcane connections has been employed in mythology and within the occult science, now we must go back to the beginning and develop the tool that gave us light. In a recent article on The Connection Machine - a new breed of parallel computers, W.D. Daniel Hillis, graduate of M.I.T. and co-director of the Thinking Machine Corporation, says "The applications worthy of a billion-processor machine are those that entail a radical change in the way we think about computation. A parallel computer with a billion processors might provide a basis for the computational utility analogous to the existing electric utilities. Just as a plant generates electricity that is transmitted to individual appliances, a huge parallel computer could provide a computational power to a city's worth of robots and workstations."
