Bogans. Lots and lots of bogans.

Australian checking in. Yes, they raid our universities to find kids breaching copyright, so we have US DMCA influence. What better way to deal with crime than to make studying even more difficult to afford...
Yeah, real life is doing that. It's pretty crazy. I'm going through my PhD at the moment and realising the system is broken. Time to start a business with some real old timey computer ethics on board. Stay tuned for www.simulatingscience.com and the associated IndieGoGo campaign (when I have better material)
That's almost as bad as old television!
I'd be interested in taking this on eventually, but not for a few months or so. Turns out Google owns www.gametome.com, so either it'll happen quickly or get drowned out by The G.

Don't tell me what I don't want to hear. La la la la la.

It's all very complicated, and I don't know a lot of the technical detail, so everything I say is conjecture.
We have different brainwaves - alpha, beta, theta, delta, gamma. In the very intricate neural soup, these act as clock oscillators like you would find in any piece of electronics. They order events in time and allow us to process sequences. They put memories in order. We have others - our heartbeat is a 1Hz clock with adrenaline-triggered turbo mode, and our eyes do seem to process frames and can occasionally reverberate in circumstances where the input suddenly changes (such as switching from a bright light to complete darkness). These clocks allow us to change time from being spatial (as in the theory of relativity) into an indexing mechanism. But that's all part of conscious thought, and also our ingenuity as humans. Subconscious thought, which holds all the long-term connections, does not work in time. The ability for these two distinct minds to work together is why sleep is critical - your conscious mind experiments with your subconscious memories in time, test thresholds and throws away concepts that don't make sense. Without sleep, your brain gets cluttered with useless memories.
This is all I'll say, but it's something I've been thinking about quite a bit lately. Your best bet for discovering what we would know if we were more in touch with it, would be to interview some people who are intellectually interested in studying users of entheogenic drugs. Understanding great artists, including those of religious contexts, might also help.
Any circuit design must contain at least one part which is obsolete, two parts which are unobtainable, and three parts which are still under development.
