天地交泰，后以财成天地之道，辅相天地之宜，以左右民。——Console cowboy 不净是入赛博空间——他导航他、调节数据流、将本身会是压倒性混乱的东西变得有意义。

Neuromancer 的 Console Cowboy Jack-In
William Gibson (1984)
William Gibson 的《Neuromancer》开场是 Case——烧尽的黑客，神经系统中毒损坏，切断了赛博空间——终于整返好他的神经系统。他 jack 返入去。电极接触他太阳穴，deck 同他大脑皮层介面，突然间：matrix。不是 Wachowski 版本——Gibson 的 matrix 是纯粹共识幻觉，数据空间变成光的几何抽象，ICE 屏障似晶体墙。Case 体验『无肉体的狂喜』——意识从肉体释放，纯粹心灵直接同资讯架构介面。Console cowboy 同机器达到完美合成：Case 谂，deck 执行，数据流动。这个不是人用工具——这个是人/机混合体以统一系统运作。天地相交。

Practical Guidance
介面work。心灵同工具、概念同执行、意图同结果——对齐。Flow 状态。
这个可能意思是：你在那个时刻当你起的系统真是做到你设计他做的东西。谂同行动之间的摩擦跌到零。你谂、系统反应，反馈循环收紧到你分不清你意图在哪完同工具执行在哪开始。
Gibson 叫他『无肉体的狂喜』。Case jack 入去，电极接触他太阳穴，突然间他是纯粹心灵同纯粹资讯介面。开发者知这个状态。代码干净咁编译、测试过绿灯、部署管道顺利运行。系统变成谂法的延伸。
好。用他。
古文警告天地不会永远保持接触。Gibson 都明——Case 在赛博空间的运行总是会完。肉体重新主张。Deck 过热。工作完成或失败，无论点，你 jack 出去。
有些人会话『真』和谐一定要永久、有机、不靠技术中介。那些人从未体验过当你的谂法直接翻译成系统改变没摩擦那种感觉。当你设计的 API 真是服务他打算服务的用例。当你创造的抽象澄清而不是遮掩。当你起的基建促进而不是约束。
那个是真。他不持久的事实不会令他没咁真。他令他变成你进入、有效率咁用、然后干净咁离开的状态。
实际后果：当你有和谐那阵用他。起些东西。执行运行。出功能。然后承认周期——jack 出去、维护肉体、照顾基建、准备下次。明白和平是临时的不是系统失败。是明白系统真实点运作。
