Information War is fought in the abstract domain, with, or by, images and symbols. IW is war of ideas upon ideas, symbol on symbols, belief on belief, protean forms and complex models, hard science and New Age woo, code on code, noetic and animated by emotion, as frequently in dreams.
We’ve been conditioned to think of our imagination as an unreal place, with ephemeral contents without substance in 3D material reality.
“Imaginary” means non-existent in the vocabulary of popular culture. This is wrong. Imagination’s infinite contents and population exist in an abstract space interacting with material reality through us. The most complex living structures imaginable by exist in our imagination.
