S.H.I.T. Experiments
One thing that is amazing about upgraded Thoughtware is that it does not have to be the opposite of existing Thoughtware.
New Thoughtware does not have to contradict or countermand existing Thoughtware.
In fact, there is new Thoughtware about things we never thought we could have Thoughtware about in the first place.
We do not already know about the Thoughtware that we do not know about.
There can be new Thoughtware about things that nobody ever thought about before.
3x the Thoughtware
Matrix Code S-H-I-TH.01
Three times a day for the next week, use self-observation to pause after saying something about what is so, or about what you need. Instead of saying one thing, say three things.
For example, after saying "I am late," you can say:
"I am early for the appointment after this one."
"I am splitting my attention to create a space that meets you before I get here."
"I have given up time. Instead, I meet people according to context. We are already together in context."
When you catch yourself using Standard Human Intelligence Thoughtware, add three alternative pieces of thoughtware.
At the end of the week, enter Matrix Code S-H-I-TH.01 in your free account at StartOver.xyz. Thank you for playing full out.
This Experiment is worth 1 Matrix Point.
Noticing the Thoughtware of Others
Matrix Code S-H-I-TH.02
This experiment is done in a meeting with your Possibility Team or 3 Cell.
First, ask your teammates to do a noticing experiment together. For the first hour, you will split your attention between having the meeting and noticing the thoughtware that every teammate is using to communicate. Continue having the meeting while you each write down what you notice in your Beep! Books so you can refer to it after.
Once an hour of noticing (and meeting) has passed, share what you noticed with your Team. Include the assumptions and the stories behind the specific thoughtware they are using.
Receive feedback from your teammates without interrupting, giving reasons or disagreeing. Write it down in your Beep! Book so you can check it out later.

Thoughtware in Your Home
Matrix Code S-H-I-TH.03
Walk around your home, splitting your attention between seeing the way you have arranged things and the thoughtware behind it. For example,
"The plates have to be easily accessible."
"The head of the bed has to be against the wall."
"The vacuum cleaner lives in the hallway closet."
...
Spend an hour rearranging your home, without asking permission from anybody else, contrary to the thoughtware that you noticed before.
- Put the plates in the corner where you have to do a few twisting backbends to get them so you can do some yoga while you get your plate.
- Put the head of the bed near the door so you can see outside the window when you wake up in the morning.
- Put the vacuum cleaner in the middle of the living room so you can access it anytime.
- ...

Thoughtware for Lunch (and Dinner)
Matrix Code S-H-I-TH.04
Standard Human Intelligence Thoughtware creeps into everything. Today, examine the thoughtware that applies to your meals, to your lunch and dinner: the forks go to the left, the napkin goes under the edge of the plate, the glass goes up to the right....
Instead, make a meat and cheese salad, and main course is lettuce soup with radish. Invite people over and say something like, "We are going to have a rainbow thoughware meal, cooked on a fire, with oranges baked in the oven, eating on the floor, and eat from each others plates."
Find the thoughtware that's happening that controls your environment and play around with it.
Have High Level Fun.

Thoughtware and Value
Matrix Code S-H-I-TH.05
In your Beep! Book, write down ten values you have.
Then, for each value, ask yourself what the thoughtware is that goes with each value. Consider: would have the values if you didn't have the thoughtware attached? Write about that for each value.
For instance if you value dressing neatly or in colour coordinated ways, notice if you have thoughtware that says something like, "Light things should go together," or "There is harmony between browns and greens but not between greens and other colours."
Can you have the value without having the thoughtware attached?
When you have examined your ten values and noticed the thoughtware behind them, enter Matrix Code S-H-I-TH.05 in your free account at StartOver.xyz.

Jump the River
Matrix Code S-H-I-TH.06
In your Beep! Book, write down ten pieces of thoughtware that you use during the day, like "I should be quiet so I don't disturb the neighbours," "I should pay my bills," etc.
For each one, figure out where the thoughtware came from. Your mother? A teacher?
Go to the source of it, and say, "I notice you said this, behave like this, or think like this. Is this true? Where did it come from?"
This will trace it back and back along the river.
Decide if you will use a different piece of thoughtware.
Tell people the source people that you are deciding to use different thoughware. See if they have reactivity about it. Write it down in your Beep! Book.
Make a religion out of it.
When you have traced back the ten pieces of thoughtware and made a religion out of using different pieces, enter Matrix Code S-H-I-TH.06 in your free account at StartOver.xyz.

Return According to Different Thoughtware
Matrix Code S-H-I-TH.07
The next three times you are going somewhere, like the supermarket, your friend's house, notice the thoughtware behind how you decide how to go, why, when, and which way to get there.
The quickest way. The way where I walk in the sun the most. The organic store. The scenic route. The way that avoids people. Before the traffic gets heavy.
Notice and pause to write things down in your Beep! Book, as you go.
Then for the next three times you go somewhere, use orthogonal, non-opposite thoughtware to decide how you will go. Go by a route that comes from different thoughtware.
Not the slowest way, but the way that gives you the best workout. Not the sunny way, but the way that smells nicest, etcetera.
As an experimenter, see what it does to you, and write about that in your Beep! Book also.

Dissecting Thoughtware
Matrix Code S-H-I-TH.08
Write down, "This is my birthday:" and the date of your birthday.
Break down each piece that formulates this piece of of thoughtware: What does "this" mean? "Is?" What about the thoughtware of "my?" What is "birth?" What is a "day?"
Create a new phrase to replace how you talk about the day you were born.
"The planetary-formulated biological life emergence incident of this embodiment is:"
Do this with ten more statements about yourself, or about your life and the world.
Start using the phrases you come up with.

New Thoughtware Nursery Rhyme
Matrix Code S-H-I-TH.09
Identify three nursery rhymes that you still have memorized from your childhood.
Rewrite them using different thoughtware.
For example
Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the stream,
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily
life is bit a dream
becomes
Propel, propel, propel your craft
Placidly over the liquid solution,
Ecstatically, ecstatically, ecstatically, ecstatically,
Existence is merely an illusion.

SHIT Traditions
Matrix Code S-H-I-TH.10
Check the thoughtware of traditions.
Take the traditions of your upbringing, for example Easter, Christmas....
Notice the thoughtware behind each of the actions of the traditions: for example, what goes on the table, what do the kids do, what do the adults do. What are the secret rules of gift-giving at Christmas?
Where does this toughtware come from?
Create an entirely new family gathering (what ever family means,) where each of the thoughtware pieces are challenged.
In stead of Christ (cross) mas (heavy) you could create CircleLight, which happens whenever you want, where giving gifts is based on new conscious thoughtware that you decide.
Do it fanatically!
Write about it and share the writing with at least three people.

Famous Last Words
Matrix Code S-H-I-TH.11
Write down the famous last words that you would like to be known for saying, that include some new pice of thoughtware that when you die that they will write on your gravestone. Invent them now so they are ready. They cannot be anyone else's words. Have them on the tip of your tongue. Compose them with thoughtware.

Create a Character Using Thoughtware
Matrix Code S-H-I-TH.12
Create an alternative character from yourself, very different from you. If you are lower class, pick someone who is a millionaire. Give them a name, and figure out their thoughtware. Then for the same hour every day for two weeks, become that person. Shift your identity into this character for one hour, and use their thoughtware, not your own, to live your life.
For example, when someone phones you during this hour, you shift and answer the phone as that character using their thotughware.
At least once every two days, write in your Beep! Book about how this goes.
After the two weeks are up, enter Matrix Code S-H-I-TH.12 in your free account at StartOver.xyz.

Thoughtware for Dressing
Matrix Code S-H-I-TH.13
This experiment is about noticing the thoughtware behind what you wear.
Design and create an outfit that is not made or chosen according to Standard Human Intelligence Thoughtware. For example, it might be made of leaves of bark, or of other compostable materials. It might break many other the right/wrong rules of fashion.
Wear it for at least one day.

Beyond SHIT Communication
Matrix Code S-H-I-TH.14
It is Standard Human Intelligence Thoughtware to think that when we stop talking with someone, the conversation ends, unless we text or write to them or talk to them some more.
Choose a person and decide to not end a conversation when you stop talking to them.
Keep the conversation alive even though you are not talking, texting or otherwise obviously communicating with them.
Use new thoughtware that says the conversation continues, and is real, even without talking or writing to them.
After a few days, check in with the person and see how they are with the conversation.
Write in your Beep! Book about the limitations that your thoughtware about communicating is putting on your capabilities and possibilities to communicate.
