Utopia and Conspiracy

Think of these as inverses, but related. Think of one being embedded in the other -- Conspiracy as being contained within Utopia, e.g. And then think of the inverse, or of the embedding turned inside out  -- Utopia contained within Conspiracy.

Think of twin narratives, or narrative layers. But what's the Utopian equivalent of Conspiracy's "revelation"? "Realization"? Or is there a Utopian revelation as well -- "Revelation" as the encompassing theme?

Well, that must be the case, given the Inversion -- Utopia's revelation the more profound, in other words.

What this is about

Some themes:

• Utopia, of course
• Which includes Dystopia
• and which includes all other bullet points
• and contains an inherent ambiguity:
• on the one hand, the impossibility of utopia and the folly/evil of utopian attempts
• on the other, the Nozick/Rand utopia
• and on the third hand, the imaginative reach for a New People (see Cherneyshevsky, Gibson's "Blue Ant" trilogy, even possibly Pynchon, and see the Inversion theme below)

• Conspiracy -- the concept, as distinct from the plot (see Art-narrative below)

• The inversion and its consequences
• Epistemological ontology -- this is the central idea (if Utopia stands for the encompassing idea, this is the core): that what is is determined by what's known, not the other way around (and "what's known" is determined by what works -- i.e., a relational as opposed to a representational epistemology)
• "Inversion" describes the switch from let's say a "realist" ontology to the epistemological ontology noted above -- that is, from reality being something out there that we can only painstakingly discover to reality being, literally, right before our eyes (and nose, and ears, and touch, etc.)

• Art
• and religion
• and Utopia
• and narrative
• Elementory
• Conspiracy as plot (see below)
• The plot, as distinct from the concept (see above)
• the notion of "revelation" 
• as distinct from "epiphany" -- i.e., it's exogenous
• also as distinct from "solution" (of a mystery) -- this is a change in your understanding of the world
• A multipart series (say, 5) -- larger revelations at the climax of each?
• Space fiction
• 3000 AD (the 1000-year future)
• The Utopia Project itself
• architecture/urban design/planning
• The game
• of Utopia
• board/screen design
• layers
• fractal depth
• and the social network
• avatars

• Space colonization
• and utopia
• Getting off the planet
• the moon
• Mars
• Open space
• Commercializing space
