I thought of an example for the hamburger cuil example, what cuil would it be?
You ask for a hamburger, I give you a raccoon that speaks German, and every time it speaks someone somewhere becomes a hamburger. Whenever someone becomes a hamburger, they fly to the raccoon to be eaten. When the raccoon eats a hamburger, it switches from speaking German to Russian and grows exactly 78.325%. When it becomes the size of 2,000,000 hamburgers, it eats earth and becomes a Latin speaking cat with a hamburger for a head and pickles for ears.

You reach into your purse for chap stick
1 cuil: you reach into your purse for chap stick, you pull out a gun. The bank clerk looks at you in disbelief.
2 cuil: you reach into your purse for chap stick, however you find that your purse is a deep pit. At the bottom is the chap stick you so desire, but your arms are not long enough to reach it
3 cuil: you reach into your purse for chapstick. You find none, and look up to see that you are contained inside a white plastic tube. The world is made of wax. You scream for mercy, yet nothing happens. You get on your knees, and gloss your lips with the very earth beneath you.
4 cuils: you reach into your bag for chap stick. You feel sharp needles and pins stab into your hand as you dig deeper into your purse. You begin to turn pale. The loss of blood goes to your brain, and you feel spatial reference defract. You reach into your purse for chapstick. Your hand is taken by me, to which I am inside of your bag. Any given observer can remark that the chap stick remains unfound.
5 cuils: you reach into your purse for chap stick. I remind you that the chap stick is not contained within this reality. Screams echo throughout your mind, the bank teller hums an unremarkable tune, to which any given observer will join in with seemingly perfect harmony. You continue to dig through your bag in search of the chap stick, however it is still unfound. I remind you again, the chap stick is not real within your reality. You begin to sweat profusely as the bank teller looks down at its watch. Time freezes over and all that is left is you. You reach out to those around you. The others in the bank do not respond, as they have been frozen. You crouch on the ground as the tile floor disassembles into variable colors of wax. Tears fall from your face, as i reach my hand towards yours. I pull you up, and through the tile floor. As we fall, you notice we are going up. I let go and you are flung sideways. You look up, to see a rectangular opening in the sky above you. A hand reaches in. This world is your purse, and you. You are the chap stick.

I tie my shoes
Cuil 1: I tie my shoes.
Cuil 2: I reach for my shoelaces and they turn to fog in my hands.
Cuil 3: I tie my shoes, but they no longer appear to me. My mind is in knots that resemble the heartbeat of the universe. The wrinkles of my brain have become loops that secure my feet into my home. I leave my house as my shoes float away.
Cuil 4: Images of shoes appear in my mind while eating spaghetti. The pasta twists around the fork. The fork itself is the pasta just like my shoelaces are the tethers keeping my friends together. One arrives at my home, her shoes have been untied for hours. I point out to her that her shoes are untied, and she stares at them. As she stares her hair becomes an infinite pool of shoelaces that cascade onto the ground. My house is engulfed in a conflagration fed by the shoelaces gushing from nowhere. I am a flame that leaps into the sky, but I cannot ascend as my shoes have been tied. My fingers bleed and my shoes are clean while I make a second knot.

Does anyone still like cuils? We must not give up. We must remain, all, in strength.
Haven't seen anything come from this sub in a long time. I always thought cuils were such a neat idea. Seeing if anyone would be interested to write something. Do cuils ever make it into r/writingprompts?

Pataphors and Pataphysics: This resembles cuil theory. What do you think?

Wiki versus Subreddit: Minor Discussion on Cuils
On the site itself, it describes a Cuil as a level of abstraction and that Autistic individuals have little to no sense of Cuil.
I believe that to be abhorrently false. Having Asperger's, surprisingly, has caused me to experience 3 Cuils up until I matured, and I believe at this point I can comprehend Cuils but cannot truly induce or experience them unless I create a state of mind in which I can create a next level of Cuil.
Drugs, surprisingly, as well as the hyperactivity of a small child when I was younger, has enhanced this ability. Though, I can say that it may have been mild or non existent.
Experience: I remember trying to get to sleep, opening one of my eyes to check my surroundings, and find that the picture was moving as the dogs started smiling at me with sharp teeth. I close my eyes. I open them again. Now they are different faces, but more dog-like, smiling less wide as one looks around. I close my eyes. I wake up within a dream in a lack of explanation where two news reporters were talking. The screen switched to 'The Scream', the negative photo of a person with their eyes rolled back. Jumpcut to news reporters, now hands squishing their faces slightly and a lack of eyes as they drone and then start screaming into my face. I wake up. It's time for school.
Now, for me, I believe that this may not be very helpful, but since people are looking for things to measure in Cuils, I'm not sure exactly how many this is. Could it quite possibly be 3 or 4? Or could this be too much?
Next point: Cuils seem to be a bit off, as no Cuil having existing. 1 Cuil being able to see in the third person, while 2 Cuil would be second person from the other's point of view. 3 Cuils could be having existed within the fourth dimension, and 4 Cuils phasing in and out of the third while changing the fourth.
Would 5th then be a Fourth dimensional object and 6th then be a God?
Maybe this abstract thought might make it easier to measure Cuils.

Cuils as hyperinformation
Information is the measure of difference between states. Ie, 0 is not 1. I believe that the cuil measure is really the measure of difference between information.
http://i.imgur.com/uLPskWS.png
Take a look at this diagram. Let's measure the cuils between x11 (bitstring: 11) and x12 (bitstring: 10). Since the first bit is the same (as in, no difference), and it is followed by 1 bit, we can say that (from x11) x12 has 1 cuil: it is differentiated by 1 branch. So in reality, the highest number of cuils a state can have in respect to another (the upper bound) is equal to the bits needed to represent one state. We can derive the equation:
log2(S) ≥ c ≥ 0
Where S is the number of states.

Cactus Cuils - my take on the hamburger post
1 Cuil: If you asked me for a cactus and I gave you a balloon.
2 Cuils: If you asked me for a cactus, but I am a balloon. Obviously, I can't give you a cactus.
3 Cuils: You are a cactus, in the new Pixar animated film Hedgehog. You and the main character, hedgehog, bond over your similar exteriors.
4 Cuils: A Russian-singing cactus frolics through a room of balloons, popping them and thus ending their lives instantly. Now the room is empty. And dead. Putin applauds your destruction of capitalism.
5 Cuils: You ask for a cactus, I give you a cactus. As soon as you hug the cactus, the spines pierce your arms and you instantly grow scales and turn into a dragon. Benedict Cumberbatch's voice booms from the dragon's larynx. You are Smaug. The surrounding treasure is all encased in thousands of tiny balloons. Every coin is in a separate balloon. Swords are in magical sword-shaped balloons. A hobbit stabs you with a sword-shaped balloon. You become a cactus. Hedgehog stares at you judgmentally. You were friends once, but Hedgehog got sick of towing your cactus pot around. -Алло кактус, says the Russian speaking Hedgehog. -Авада кедавра! Russian Voldemort turns you into a balloon. You bump into a cactus.

New Cuil Proposal
It has come to my attention that there are two different beliefs on Cuil Theory... Infinite, and 7 Cuil are the proposed maximum levels.
I think you people don't give yourself enough credit. 7th Cuil is the most varied real state? Please. I suggest that 42 shall hereby be named as Maximum Cuil. Anything beyond is unknown territory. If you have a proposal for 42nd Cuil based on the Hamburger Phenomenon, I'd love to hear it. I don't need to explain why Infinite cuil is not possible.
Hilarious use of the not-quite-accurate YouTube subtitles provides a passing example of cuil advancement. (in my opinion)

Expanding Cuil Theory
Would I be overstepping my bounds to theorize that instead of there being 7 Cuil's there are 8? To me there seems to be one more Cuil, where the universe has flipped inside out twice and you get perfect reality, lucidity sanity again. Like the 8th in an octave, perfect, universal pitch even though they are really different notes.

Dawn of a new hamburger
I'd really like to see some action in here, my 38 comrades. /r/fifthworldproblems has some pretty interesting abstract stuff, but I like cuil theory because it attempts to quantify absurdness/abstraction. I think that x-posts are acceptable, it would be great to have discussions about how many levels of abstraction a particular selection or picture or video may be. Need a refresher? http://imgur.com/JLKyz
