It seems to me a worthy goal: try to create a representation of consciousness that's durable and truthful, i.e., that accounts, somewhat, for all the strange, tiny, hard-to-articulate, instantaneous, unwilled things that actually go on in our minds in the course of a given day, or even a given moment.

I signed up for eHarmony once, and it took three hours to fill out that online form - so many personal questions. Then I clicked on submit, and instantaneously they responded and said, 'We are sorry, but there is no one any where in the world that is appropriate for you.' So that was it - I gave up.

The ideal engine of a 3-D game is an intricate and elegant construct of code that allows players to speed through solidly built virtual worlds. The engine allows every picture on a monitor to be drawn there quickly enough to convince hand and eye that it is instantaneous.

John Hall

More negatives write than call. It's a cheap shot for me to go on the air with the critical letters or E-mail I get because the reaction of the listeners is always an instantaneous expression of sympathy for me and contempt for the poor critic.

My kid could get a bad X-ray and I could get a call from the doctor saying I have something growing in my bum and that would change my perspective on everything instantaneously, on what is and what is not important.

Marc Andreessen

And once you get instantaneous communication with everybody, you have economic activity that's far more advanced, far more liquid, far more distributed than ever before.

American Businessman

Marina and the Diamonds

I don't think I'm an instantaneous act the whole world will love in one second - but that's how I've felt about bands I love.

Chemistry's a funny thing. It can be instantaneous, but it helps when you know someone.

Indicates an action occurs without waiting.

No Delay

In physics, distinct from average speeds or values over time.

Not Average

Highlights effectiveness in technology, without noticeable processing time.

Tech Efficiency

Users expect tech interactions to have no lag or loading time.

User Expectation

 You probably think the electrons in an electric wire move instantaneously down a wire, don't you, at the speed of light, when you turn the light on, they don't. Electrons bumble down the wire, about the speed of spreading honey, they say. Galaxies -- hundred billion of them, estimated in the universe. Hundred billion.

 you wouldn't accelerate in a linear fashion. Instead, you would instantaneously jump, or transition, from one speed to the next. For an atom, when a transition occurs from one energy level to another, quantum mechanics says that the energy difference is equal to a characteristic frequency,

 Choosing the right glue to withstand the heat inside an engine is a matter of life and death. And though the strength of duct tape’s adhesive bonds can’t compete with those of epoxy glues, tape does have the advantage of instantaneous stickiness in an emergency.

 Einstein and his colleagues called this strange communcation spooky action at a distance. While it does seem that entanglement between two particles helps transfer a qubit instantaneously across the space between them, there's a catch.
