The Glass is Not Big Enough

If ever I get asked, "is the glass 'half full' of 'half empty'?", my standard answer is, "the glass is not big enough!" ;-)

Perception is about the frame of reference we use to see things but also the quantity of stuff we can stuff into the frame! My brain is not big enough to perceive all incoming events at once! ... so a queue forms ... and then events drop off my perceptual horizon. Ouch.

So ideally I want to perceive more, but not have to deal with all those unruly things bustling in the queue and I also want to make sure important things don't fall below the event horizon. But perception without action is pretty useless. Why queue Things up, if, when they get to the top of the queue nothing happens? You might as well have not perceived it in the first place.

I need an omnipotent helper, scanning the far event horizon, managing my incoming event queues so I can have greater perceptual breadth while at the same time preserve my attention for the really important stuff and delegate simple actions to my omnipotent helper.

Hmmm. Sounds like a lot ... but if I can solve this pain it will help me "stick Things together" better - which means this solution needs to fall within the ambit of The Goo. Stay tuned for more ideas to help solve this pain ...
