 The modality I favor is best exemplified by \essaytitle{Energy Cube Org\-an\-ism}, \essaytitle{Concept Art}, and the \essaytitle{Perception-Dissociator Model}. \essaytitle{Energy Cube Org\-an\-ism} is a perfect example of ideas such that the very possibility of thinking them is a significant phenomenon. It is also a perfect example of an activity which is useful irrespective of whether it provides emotional gratification. It combines the description of imaginary physical phenomena with the thinking of contradictions. It led to \essaytitle{Studies in Cons\-truc\-ted Memories}, which in turn led to \essaytitle{The Logic of Admissible Contradictions}. With this last writing, it becomes obvious that the activity has applications outside itself. 
 
-\essaytitle{Concept Art}\footnote{published in \booktitle{An Anthology} ed. LaMonte Young, 1963} uses linguistic expressions which are changed by the reader's mental reactions. It led to \essaytitle{Post-Formalism in Constructed Memories}, and this led in turn to \essaytitle{Subjective Propositional Vibration}.

-The \essaytitle{Perception-Dissociator Model}\footnote{published in I-KON, Vol. 1, No. 5} was intended to exploit the realization that humans are the most advanced machines (or technology) that we have. I wanted to build a model of a machine out of humans, using a minimum of non-human props. Further, the machine modelled was to have capabilities which are physically impossible according to present-day science. I still think that the task as I have defined it is an excellent one; but the model does not yet completely accomplish the objective. The present model uses the deliberate suspension of normal beliefs to produce its effects.

 \essaytitle{Post-Formalism in Constructed Memories} and \essaytitle{Studies in Constructed Memories} together make up \booktitle{Mathematical Studies (1966)}. In this monograph, the emphasis was on extending the idea of mathematics as formalistic games to games involving subjectivity and contradiction. In two subsequent monographs, the material was developed so as to bring out its potential applications in conjunction with science. \essaytitle{Subjective Propositional Vibration} investigates the logical possibilities of expressions which are changed by the reader's mental responses. \essaytitle{The Logic of Admissible Contradictions} starts with the experiences of the logically impossible which we have when we suffer certain perceptual illusions. These illusions enable us to imagine certain logical impossibilities just as clearly as we imagine the logically possible. The monograph models the content of these illusions to obtain a system of logic in which some (but not all) contradictions are \dq{admissible.} The theory investigates the implications of admitting some contradictions for the admissibility of other contradictions. A theory of many-valued numbers is also presented.

Flynt's philosophy by no means stopped developing with this book, and I think this is a (somewhat unusually) approachable piece that paints a picture of some directions his thinking would develop in.
