“This Variable Doesn’t Exist but it’s useful to have it in the equation”: On Wanting QED

Teleology

In small bursts

This is for good for now

Inconsequential

Or trivial consequences

Becoming nontrivial

As time brings reality closer

Wanting a mirage that

Makes it rain

The person may request, then, that free will be considered regardless of deterministic necessities.

This is for envisioning the future in such a way as to become it.

Noise in the background forming maps for what we see in the frame

Not merely wanting the end by putting thumbs on scales

But needing the end to maintain the cohesion of the past

Without this cohesion, atomization of the free-floating individual

An unknown variable, missing context and intention and end or aim

A body, mass

A jumping off point, a light. That reveals the equation in such a way

In such a way
