If I use the word "modality" and you know what it means, then where is your confusion?

The modality you are in, determines your will, your intent.  Do you understand will and intent?

So the 1776 modality = the 1776 will.

Join me, and mine Benjamins.  Or, try to bring your will to whatever modality you operate in each day.  My profession was computers, before they were complete crapped upon by the corporations who make them.  Whats your resume, and is it still a valid industry with benefits and such?  Or has it been hollowed out like the US IT industry?  See, that's part of why I see mining as a rebellious political act.  Because my trade and industry was destroyed by people with no brains and no good vision.
