By analyzing the DNA of both parents and that of the child, it can be determined how
many so-called germ line mutations are present in the childs DNA. By this means it was
established that approximately 40 such mutations typically occur between generations. The vast
majority of these mutations cause no changes in the types of proteins that are produced, i.e, they
are not point mutations and are mostly harmless because their gene regulatory implications only
manifest themselves over the course of an extraordinarily long life span, interacting as they would
with patterns of gene expression not heretofore selected for, which is to say manifesting the
biochemical self-organizing properties of matter and not the higher level properties of
environmental context sensitivity. So-called harmless or "silent" mutations are far more
efficaciously interoperative with gene regulatory structures that lie still far in the future than
indeed they are with respect to currently existing structures, which points up the providential
nature of the self-organizing properties of atoms and organic molecules as a kind of preexisting
infrastructure that promotes and enables evolution. Quo vadis, Peter, er, uh, Darwin?

The only thing we know of in the universe that isnt a mechanism is 1) consciousness
and 2) wavefunction collapse/reduction of the state vector. Time as fundamental apriori
form/Kantian supercategory or intuition. Bergson says that consciousness is the intuition of
times passing, i.e., Bergsons Duree. So we apparently must seek the chronology protection
mechanism in consciousness itself. The mechanism of hard encryption is also intimately
associated with consciousness, c.f., the absolute mutual compartmentalization of personal or
individual consciousness. We already noted that decoherence rate is the one temporal aspect
which resists the otherwise universal action of time dilation, which is an indication that the
mechanism of time dilation is, according to this selfsame logic, to be sought in the underlying
mechanism of quantum decoherence.

"There are great ideas, undiscovered breakthroughs available, to those who can remove one of
truths protective layers" - Neil Armstrong, July 20, 1994
November 2012
That protective layer is
what is called the obvious, i.e., that which obviates. Culturally based or traditional truth is
path-dependent truth, which is to say conditional truth and points up an important question for
philosophy: is path-independent or unconditional truth ever given or if such exists, but is not
given can it nonetheless be accessed? (Leading us back into the notion of path-dependence, but
now at a meta level).

"I know that most men, including those at ease with problems of the greatest complexity, can
seldom accept even the simplest and most obvious truth, if it be such as would oblige them to
admit the falsity of conclusions which they have delighted in explaining to colleagues, which they
have proudly taught to others, and which they have woven thread by thread into the fabric of their
lives." - Leo Tolstoy

One night, lightning struck the oak tree. Eddie saw it the next morning. It lay broken in half, and
he looked into its trunk as into the mouth of a black tunnel. The trunk was only an empty shell; its
heart had rotted away long ago; there was nothing insidejust a thin gray dust that was being
dispersed by the whim of the faintest wind. The living power had gone, and the shape it left had not
been able to stand without it. Years later, he heard it said that children should be protected from
shock, from their first knowledge of death, pain or fear. But these had never scarred him; his shock
came when he stood very quietly, looking into the black hole of the trunk. It was an immense
betrayalthe more terrible because he could not grasp what it was that had been betrayed. It was
not himself, he knew, nor his trust; it was something else. He stood there for a while, making no
sound, then he walked back to the house. He never spoke about it to anyone, then or since.

This belief, however, elevates fallible human thought on par with the infallible
Word of God. And what we discover is not a development of doctrine but a departure
from it. **Not if the HS guided the selection of books that were included in the Vulgate, and those
who were guided in this were also guided in the development of early Church traditions and
teachings.**

Rome does not allow private interpretation of Scripture out of fear that heresy
could undermine the authority of the Bible and the Church. **Just think about what a serious
problem heresies were to the early Church. If one accepts the existence of a positive principle of
evil (as opposed to a mere absence of good), does one imagine that this principle remained
uncharacteristically silent and uninvolved with influencing the creation and dissemination of
heresies? What better way to attack the Church than at its root, that is to say, during its
infancy?**

Pope Leo XIII (1810-1903) stated: "God has delivered the Holy Scripture to the Church, and.... in
reading and making use of His Word, (men) must follow the Church as their guide and teacher.
**So the Church should have just allowed members of the illiterate masses of all cultures and
historical traditions to read the Holy Scriptures on their own, unsupervised and without any
instruction as to interpretation and application of those Scriptures? Really? **

The same Pope also said that it is impossible for any legitimate interpretation to be extracted from
the Bible that is at variance with the doctrine of the Church. Any interpretation that is opposed to
Church doctrine is therefore false. **The fundamentalist Protestant principle of Sola Scriptura
could have only become viable after the fashion of the creation of a metabolic by-product as
opposed to the spontaneous generation of a wholly intact DNA molecule within the primeval,
pre-biotic soup. Moreover, Sola Scriptura is supported by a vast infrastructure of Theological
Seminaries. **

In other words, the RC church professes to provide divine guidance for her members. She
demands recognition as the infallible interpreter of the Scriptures. **This is a twisting of words:
the guidance to her members provided by the Church is informed by divine guidance. A Church
that is not guided by God is no Church at all, but merely a house of spiritual complacency. There is
an equivocation of doctrine vs. interpretation of doctrine here - God provides the former, while His
Church provides the latter. **

The 16th century Reformers were in unanimous agreement in their opposition when Rome
claimed that teaching authority lay in the magisterium with the pope as its chief shepherd under
Christ. **To what do we owe the vast proliferation of Protestant denominations and their further
1st, 2nd, etc. order splinterings, which shows the triumph of chaos over the intention to faithfully
transmit God's message down the generations. **
The Reformation of the Church was the Lord's intervention to lead His church back to the Gospel.
The decline of medieval Christianity was very gradual. The more serious errors didn't arise until as
late as the 14th and 15th centuries. Eventually the result of this descending darkness was serious.
The problem was with what Rome had added to the Bible over the centuries. **The errors,
accumulated over many centuries more or less harmlessly, not having reached any critical
threshold, only arrived at this threshold just at the end of the Middle Ages and just at the advent of
the Renaissance - mere coincidence?**

The Protestant Old Testament is the same as the Hebrew Scriptures (except for the order of the
books). Roman Catholics, on the other hand, add additional books Tobit, Judith, Wisdom of
Solomon, Ecclesiasticus, Baruch and 1 & 2 Maccabees as well as some extra sections to Daniel
and Esther, to form their version of the Old Testament. Though most of the Old Testament books
are quoted frequently by New Testament writers, these extra RC books are never quoted. **Many
books, over two dozen, in point of fact, are quoted from in the Old Testament that were themselves
not included in the Canon of Scripture.**

Sense perceptual juxtapositions that produce multimodal cognitive dissonance make excellent
vectors for the insertion of wordless artistically fertile metaphors.

Without transcendent universal mind there is no distinction between consciousness being a One or
a many. The collective mass of what we don't know we know. And of course, it is this inherent
and perhaps unbounded multifacetedness of the individually collected human experiential data,
which must transcend the meaning of individual human experience (as attributed by each
individual to his or her own experience) that so strongly suggests the reality of the transcendent
realm and its Deity. But what services this unbounded multifacetedness is the underlying
rationality of language qua infrastructure of intersubjectivity. This transcendent realm may be
thought to be akin to Saussure's "unlimited semiosis". Deity is implied by the notion that there is
an objective observer that is in turn implied by the necessity of an ultimate tying off point of this
otherwise unbounded semiosis.

Having the epiphany that you personally dont really know anything at all means that
Mans knowledge can be at best but a collective illusion. . . and all this within the context of a sheer
abundance of grace. How can one not then have faith upon recognizing the Providence involved
in such a coherent manifestation of the radical unknown. One is called forth from the Void and
enters the world from one unknown only to pass from it into another unknown. What is lost on
some is that the world itself is yet a third unknown, rendering the first and the latter qualitatively
distinct. And so metaphysical work can only be performed by experience if it is possible to
transcend all dual opposite categories. You emerged into the world from a hole you didnt crawl
into and shall leave it from a hole you cant crawl out of. No one as they say, gets out of here
alive.

are the implications of a radical logical self-consistency approach to a theory of truth? How does
the principle of quantum superposition endanger the law of excluded middle? Or does quantum
superposition actually support the excluded middle? The principle of the loose ends only

The perception of ones own intentional thought process is temporally interwoven with the
perception of sense data, memory as well that of ones own bodily movements and orchestrated
within Libets 500 millisecond window of pre-consciousness in just such a way as to maintain
awareness of intention and action as interconnected so as to present the appearance of a freely
acting center of volition. This brings up the puzzling question of what might indeed be the
value to natural selection of merely the appearance of a self possessing a free will if in fact the
continual stable appearance to the human animal of its possessing a self as the author of its own
decisions and actions is an illusion without substantive causal efficacy.


We sometimes revisit perforce the haughty metaphysical opinions of our youth because the
passing of all the learning and experience of the decades has done nothing to undermine them and
these same opinions if refined and dressed up as though uttered by a mature person will not so
quickly be dismissed out of hand and thus lend their weight to sober consideration.

ArXiv: hep-th/9308061v1:
au=
Aharonov, Anandan, and Vaidman [1] have recently argued that
in addition to its usual epistemological role, the wave function in quantum mechanics in certain
situations also has an ontological status. In other words, in addition to acting as a device in the
theory to encode the conditions (of our knowledge of the world) it must also, in certain
circumstances, be regarded as real [italics mine], in the sense that one can completely determine an
unknown wavefunction of a single system as opposed to an ensemble of states [italics mind].
Certainly if their claim were true, that one could take a single system with an unknown
wavefunction, and completely determine that wave function on that single system, one would have
to accord the wave function a reality on the grounds that that which is measurable is real. In the
course of this paper I will argue that they have failed to establish the measurability of the wave
function, and thus have failed in their attempt to demonstrate the reality of the wave function. The
argument is however subtle. Thus the plan of this paper will be to first discuss the problem of
reality in quantum mechanics, to set stage for the question that they are trying to answer. My
comment:

Aharanov proved the reality of A, the vector potential so that if A is identified with

Bohm in this connection), then the reality of Psi has been

"Science proceeds as if the past was the home of explanation; whereas the future and the
future alone holds the key to the mysteries of the present. When that first cell divided, the
meaning of that division was to be discovered in the future, not in the past; when some
pre-human ancestor first uttered a human sound, the significance of that sound was to be
interpreted by human language, not by apish grunts; when the first plant showed
solicitude for its seed, the interest of that solicitude lay in the promise of maternal
affection. Things must be judged in the light of the coming morning, not in the setting
stars." (

Sedgwick, 1916) And here it is again as stated by

Terence McKenna: For me, the
key to unlocking what is going on with history, creativity, and progressive processes of all sorts is
to see the state of completion at the end as a kind of higher-dimensional object that casts an
enormous and flickering shadow over the lower dimensions of organization, of which this universe
is one, c.f.,

Trialogues at the Edge of the West. Philosophers have a term for this: causal
supervenience. The details of how causal supervenience works may forever remain mysterious,
however, in general we can say that in must involve the spontaneity (whether or not intended) of
vacuum fluctuations, which are correlated in a manner which does not support a time-reversible
causal connection. Presumably entropy-laden, irreversible processes also have a causal
(time-reversible) physical basis, at least with respect to sufficiently small scales of spacetime, but
at some sufficiently large spacetime scale, the nature of the correlation of vacuum fluctuations
underlying the physical process in question invokes quantum entanglement that is not reversible.
(Relevant to the issue of wavefunction collapse/state vector reduction). Given that quantum
entanglement is a relation of absolute simultaneity, i.e., in all reference frames, we suspect the
irreversibility comes into play on account of higher dimensions of temporality.
November 2012
Quantum decoherence is intimately connected with entropy, statistics (probability) and temporal
irreversibility. Reversibility of time seems to require an additional degree of freedom best
provisioned within a plane of complex or otherwise multidimentional time.

Sedgwicks principle is particularly relevant in connection with higher order regulation
of gene expression. 98.5% of the DNA base pair patterns in the human genome are held in
common with the Chimpanzee and the Bonobo Ape. Approximately 50% of base pair sequences
are the common genetic heritage of both humans and the lowly yeast mold. Recent research
reveals that approximately 50% of human DNA is also of viral origin. Perhaps so much of human
DNA is of viral origin because these viral genes are leftover vectors utilized in the distant past as
means of inserting gene sequences which otherwise would have taken too long to develop on their
own via natural evolutionary processes.
August 2011
Viruses, which are not included in either of the
three Linnaean Kingdoms of taxonomic classification well, arguably there are now four as of this
writing, because they are not considered by biologists to be alive, seem to predate the appearance
of the first unit of heredity, i.e. DNA and/or RNA, and so must have originated and developed
according to the intrinsic self-organizing properties of atoms and molecules what is thought to
have been responsible for the first billion years of chemical evolution that took place prior to and
wholly in the absence of Darwinian natural selection. Because viruses function so efficiently
within the cell and cell nucleus as well as interoperate admirably with strings of DNA and/or
RNA, both reorganizing genetic base pair sequences as well as altering the expression of these
same sequences, it is tempting to suppose that viruses themselves originated within ancient living
cells or cellular nuclei. But this would of course land us in a chicken or the egg paradox.
November 2012
To recap: viruses came about prior to DNA/RNA, which themselves were necessary for
the appearance of the first cells, but interoperate with both, even though viruses originated in an
exclusively self-organizing process that is not dependent upon natural selection. And now,
however, we are expected to accept on faith that random chance mutations working in combination
with natural selection alone succeeded in bringing into being the entire spectrum of biological
order that we witness today all around us.
August 2011
This reminds us of the case in which a
shattered hologram is gradually reassembled and meanwhile the image encoded in the hologram
becomes ever sharper. (Do base pair sequences within viruses function akin to metaphors in
relation to the base pair sequences of the DNA within the cellular machinery that the invading
virus subverts?) Now if this impossibly causally twisted temporal relationship could be shown
to be a mere projection or shadow (appearance) of what is occurring in a higher dimension onto
some lower dimension, then this paradox would be solved or, rather dissolved. Since causal
relationships within 1-dimensional time are, according to Bohms causal principle, equivalent to a
specific set of correlated vacuum fluctuations, but which only constitutes a tiny subset of the total
array of correlated fluctuations within the quantum vacuum, we may seek the needed higher
dimensional causal relationships, i.e., causal relationships within higher temporal dimensions,
within the quantum vacuum, perhaps within its higher order, e.g., 2
nd
, 3
rd
, 4
th
loop, etc. (There is
a New Scientist article of recent writing entitled something to the effect of matter is composed of
vacuum fluctuations). Or perhaps even confining ourselves to 1
st
order fluctuations, if two or
more sets of frequencies can be shown to be orthogonal, out of which distinct time series can be
constructed, then this may be strong indication of higher temporal dimensionality. (This
orthogonality is distinctly different from that by which functions of different frequencies are
assigned different weighting coefficients within a Fourier expansion of a single time domain
function).

August 2012
A unit of heredity is to natural selection as a rational individual is to the free market.
Both DNA and the rational individual are providential kernels that grace their respective
dynamical systems while transcending the scope of explanation supported by the logic of either.

April 2011
What makes mankind different from his more primitive apelike forebears is not so much
distinct differences in genetic base pair sequences as it is differences in the regulation of the
expression of these genes held in common with earlier or less evolved life forms. There has been
simultaneously two trains of evolution operating: evolution of the individual gene and evolution of
the regulation of the expression of genes and gene sequences. It appears that the temporal
space within which evolution takes place must possess a basis of at least two dimensions.
June
2011
The fact that the regulation of the expression of genetic base pair sequences is open ended
implies that the interpretation of the genetic code as a language is no mere cute analogy,
@#
but is
a fact of some profound and enduring significance! The context sensitivity of the genetic code is
likely to be a two-way affair. The DNA only contains information if it is a component of an
informational system, which is to say that any information stored in it has to have been put there
and that the molecule is open to modification so as to receive additional information. All this is
by way of saying that an element only contains information if it is contained within a feedback
circuit or network such that the flow of information is two-way.

April 2011
Communications refer to the necessary or important features of things without ever
specifying the things themselves. Only data is transmitted between minds, which is then
interpreted as information. Context gives meaning just as nonlocality gives reference. One comes
from one unknown, spends the duration of ones life in another unknown, only to pass on to still
another unknown. (Aside: it is a most important lifes goal to find the message that was left waiting
for one within the world into which one was born). And the two domains of the unknown
bookending this infinitesimal existence, we tend to suppose are eternity past and eternity future.
The question arises whether these two domains of oblivion are indeed identical or, does this mote
of a single fleeting human existence enjoy or partake of the metaphysical power to divide eternity
such that it must take on an aspect of everlastingness, itself of two parts. This brief speck in time
represented by a human existence, converts eternity into an ever lasting oblivion. (Eternity into
everlastingness)

However, consider that the proposition, Russell Clark
does not exist uttered in 1958 (a year before my mother conceived me) and Russell Clark does
not exist uttered in 2058 (after I am dead) cant possibly mean/refer to the same thing:
@$
in the
first instance, the subject Russell Clark doesnt refer to anything (only if the Russell Clark
from the second utterance is what is intended), otherwise this term refers to any number of persons
named Russell Clark past, present and future, including this Russell Clark. So intentionality
doesnt equate with reference because being and what is called existence are not coextensive
categories. What distinguishes intentionality and reference, suggested above, shares some features
with McTaggarts incompatible time predicates. For Russell Clark to successfully refer to this
Russell Clark (the current one writing this), it must fail to refer to him at a certain earlier and all
previous times. But there is something, which, if it were ever successfully referred to once and
named at that time, it would be successfully referred to with this name at all other times.

This rather invokes the notion of registration, whether of ones brain as a system that shall be
plugged into and interoperate with some cosmic Internet or as a consciousness which is
assigned, as it were, its own unique and delimited signal bandwidth, etc., we cannot say.
September
2011
And this something is that something which avoids contradiction of the incorrigible principle,
ex nihilo nihil fit. Things which dont exist get and stay connected (say in the quantum
nonlocality sense) with things that do exist via the operation of mind. In this way all things are
connected regardless of what categories we might apply to them, including minds via the operation
of mind. But how might two or more minds be connected when the subjective by definition is not
composed of the intersubjective (inter-subjective), unless inter only obtains it meaning via the
above alluded to connection principle. This is the case where the metaphysics of pluralism fails
utterly and a kind of monism must take its place. Another example of failure to refer is what is
called unspecified reference. An example of this is arbitrarily making up a name for a character in
a story not yet conceived of and never written down.

All important philosophical,
religious and evangelical atheistic writtings (in fact, any writings, which imply metaphysical
claims, affirmative or negative) are open-ended in that they necessarily contain equivocations of
sense traceable to this confusion of the notions of being, existence and subsistence!

The principle of spontaneous decoherence, namely that of Penroses one graviton limit, i.e.,
Planck mass limit in the magnitude of a single fluctuation of the vacuum, defies Leibniz principle
that whatever conditions were sufficient to create a thing are necessary at every succeeding
moment to maintain that thing in existence. We may take as a new principle that, the inadequacy
of nonlocality implies the necessity of temporality. Correlated fluctuations embrace distinct
subsets: those which are or are not causality preserving and/or energy conserving. This reminds
us of the humorous saw that, if it werent for the existence of time, everything would happen at
once! The Planck mass fluctuation limit means that

Can it be demonstrated that the concept of temporally pure causation, i.e., pure temporal
persistence, i.e., as an isolated system and in the absence of causal context of a substantive or
beable is logically inconsistent? In a physical sense this appears impossible on account of the
grounding of physical temporality in an embedding quantum vacuum energy fluctuation field
(responsible for the decay of energy eigenstates, transition between energy eigenstates and
temporal evolution of density fuctions). Could phase rotation of the system wavefunction qualify
as pure, context-free temporal evolution?

Von Neumanns Process 1 is the physical aspect of the choice on the part of the human agent.
Its psychologically described aspect is experienced and described as a focusing of attention and
effort on some intention, and the physically described aspect
consists of the associated choice of the basis vectors and of the timings of the
action. Then there is a feedback quantum jump whose psychologically described
aspect is experienced and described as an increment in knowledge, and whose
physical aspect is a quantum jump to a new physical state that is compatible
with that increment in knowledge, c.f.,

Gravity and Consciousness (35700017)

Without quantum entanglement being involved in the act of perception of the outcome of a
quantum experiment (likely through the quantum vacuum in which the observed system and the
observers brain are commonly embedded), there would be the ever-present necessity of the
consciousness (whose brain it is supplying the observation to this consciousness) revamping its
system of interpreting the quantum behavior of its brain, e.g., how does the observer synch up
his subjective perception of dead cat vs. live cat with the actual Schrodingers cat
experimental outcome of dead cat vs. live cat?

It is very significant that the prime phenomenological manifestation of the ground of
being in the realm of physical being, i.e., quantum entanglement is just now making itself
known. Science through the emergence of the field of the study of QE appears to be arriving at a
point analogous to that of the dreamer who finds himself at the cusp between
un-self-consciousness and lucidity. Science has finally found one of the handles of the
reality bootstrap mechanism and so must be especially careful for it is just at the point of the
onset of lucidity that the the dream continuum encounters a bifurcation point between meta- and
robust-stability.
June 2012
I suspect that many of the properties of the wavefunction, particularly
with respect to the functions fragility are shared in common with those of the lucid dreaming
state of consciousness and are manifestations of two things: 1) self-interfering feedback and 2) the
limited computing capacity of the cosmic CPU.

Inertial mass may be based in the density of momentum exchanges taking place
between the various subatomic particles and quantum fields composing a given mass, while
gravitational mass may be based in the density of energy exchanges taking place between these
subatomic particles/ quantum fields and the quantum vacuum field. The equivalence of inertial
and gravitational masses may be an artifact of the conservation of momentum-energy uncertainty
or the conservation of virtual momentum and energy as a momentum-energy fluctuation four
vector within four dimensional spacetime.

Detailed investigation by H. Poincare of the Lorentz detailed group
invariants resulted in his discovery of the pseudo-Euclidean geometry of space-time. Precisely on
such a basis, he estab-lished the four-dimensionality of physical quantities: force,
velocity, momentum, current. H.Poincares rst short work ap-peared in the reports of the French
Academy of sciences before A. Einsteins work was even submitted for publication. That work
contained an accurate and rigorous solution of the problem of electrodynamics of moving bodies,
and at the same timeit extended the Lorentz transformations to all natural forces,of whatever origin
they might be, c.f., http://arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/0210005v2, The Theory of Gravity by A. A.

Relativistic mass increase may be associated with a shift in the relative densities of 3-momentum
and imaginary 4-momentum exchanges taking place between the mass and itself and between the
mass and its embedding quantum vacuum, respectively. (This remark added March 1, 2006 in
terms of my old parlance of May 1997)

placed upon the quantum vacuum field which alters this field so that the 3-momentum fluctuations
and imaginary 4-momentum fluctuations do not precisely cancel.
June 1998
The expectation values
may always be defined in terms of a fluctuation term and an uncertainty. This fluctuation term
may be intrinsic to the quantum vacuum field and the uncertainty may be associated with the
observer of the quantum system. Through a kind of coherence (or resonance) between the
intrinsic vacuum fluctuation term and the observer's uncertainty, the emergence of a nonzero
expectation value, i.e., a classical observable, may emerge. There is no reason why we cannot
attribute the entirety of the term, /\E, to the observer performing the energy-determining
measurement. But to do so means that one is considering the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle
(HUP) to be entirely epistemological in nature. To attribute this uncertainty entirely to the
quantum system itself is to maintain that the Heisenberg uncertainty is ontological in nature. This
alternative interpretation of the HUP is not feasible, however, as the observers brain equally
constitutes a quantum mechanical system just as does the system he is observing or performing
measurements upon. The perhaps more reasonable approach to interpreting the HUP might be to
compromise between the two extremes by admitting that there is a dynamic interrelationship
between the uncertainties of both the observers brain and the quantum system he is observing.

It might be supposed that the manner in which the world appears, i.e., is perceived by the
observer is merely a collaborative product of the observer and the world through the quantum
interference between the correlated quantum fluctuations of the observers brain and the correlated
quantum fluctuations constituting the system being observed. But this cannot ultimately be a
correct description of the mechanism of conscious observation because the quantum correlated
fluctuational structure of the observers brain possesses this necessary interiority by virtue of
outstripping the brains embedding quantum vacuums computational capacity qua quantum
computer.

Ennead IV.4.23, 419: Well, then, the soul will either apprehend alone by
itself or in company with something else. But how can it do this when it is alone and by itself?
For when it is by itself it apprehends what is in itself, and is pure thought. If it also apprehends
other things [i.e. sensibles], it must first have taken possession of them as well, either by becoming
assimilated to them, or by keeping company with something which has been assimilated. But it
cannot be assimilated while it remains in itself. For how could a point be assimilated to a line? For
even the intelligible line would not assimilate to the sensible one, nor would the intelligible fire or
man assimilate to the sense-perceived fire or man. . . . But when the soul is alone, even if it is
possible for it to direct its attention to the world of sense, it will end with an understanding of the
intelligible; what is perceived by sense will escape it, as it has nothing with which to grasp it. Since
also when the soul sees the visible object from a distance, however much it is a form which comes
to it, that which reaches it, though it starts by being in a way without parts, ends in the substrate
which the soul sees as color and shape with the extension it has out there.

If the substrate
of being is information rather than independently existing fundamental particles, then there is
really no impasse posed by it being otherwise necessary for matter to bootstrap itself into greater
complexity. It is tempting to suppose that vacuum 3-way and higher order nonlocality is the
source of 2-way nonlocality of all quantum mechanical states/systems. The interiority of
subjectivity would on this view not be a truly emergent quality of biological systems, but merely
the awareness of this interiority would be.
November 2012
The dependence of n-way nonlocality for
smaller n on n-way nonlocality for larger n constitutes a kind of causal supervenience placed
within the context of quantum entanglement and correlational structures and reminds us of
holographic time scale reductionism, i.e., in which structures occupying smaller intervals of time
are conditioned by structures occupying larger intervals of time. This entanglement
supervenience for want of a more convenient term intuitively points up Kauffmans
fundamentality or principle of the fundamentalness (along with subatomic particles and fields) of
consciousness as such (as opposed to any particular consciousness).

One way to model the relativistic effects of mass, length and time might be to think of a mass as the
result of the mutual interference of myriad alternate universe copies of the abstract objects
possessing the formal structure which the mass exhibits upon analysis. The greater the
coherence of the MWI (many worlds interpretation) quantum copies of the object, that is, the more
closely the copies mutually interfere, the greater is the mass of the object, the more dilated is the
external time (and more contracted is the internal time) of the mass. In this way Penroses
connection between gravity and wavefunction collapse may be explored further.
March 2006
Perhaps this is better put in terms of the greater the density of cohering of (and mutually
interfering, i.e., quantum correlated) MWI quantum near duplicates, the greater is the objects
inertial mass.

These frequencies, or their spectra, would be associated with the fluctuations in the vacuum's
intrinsic energy and with fluctuations in the ability of an ideal observer to determine the system's
energy independently of the effect of the vacuum energy fluctuations, respectively. We are
basing this idea of observer-system resonance as the basis of perception on an idea expressed by
David Bohm in his book,
cit=
Quantum Theory. According to
au=
Bohm (1951),
@$
the fluctuations
in an observable, in combination with the correlations of the phases of these quantum fluctuations,
together comprise the average values and average temporal evolution of any observable. An act
of observation has the effect of destroying the delicate phase relations between the eigenfunctions,
the product of which constitute the pure state wavefunction representing the state of the system.
July 2011
(Can changes in the entanglement signature of nonlocally correlated fluctuations induced
by acts of conscious observation impact causal relationships? Conversely, can causally induced
changes to the systems momentum and energy be traced to corresponding changes in nonlocally
correlated fluctuations in the systems momentum and energy?)

This is reflected in the instantaneous shift in the values of all incompatible observables relative to
the observable the value of which is being more fully determined as a result of observation. The
effect of the fluctuation energy upon our energy measuring devices is, of course, an effect which
even the perfect calibration of our energy-measuring instruments cannot in principle eradicate. If
the observers consciousness inevitably induces collapse of the wavefunction for the system hes
observing, then this is perhaps because:
@$
1) The dynamics of the observers conscious mental
processes is fundamentally quantum mechanical in nature and 2) The mental processes of the
observer are quantum entangled with those of the system under observation.

Mass-energy is a result of an imbalance in these two energy terms. In this way particles are seen
to be not flux-stabilities in themselves, but structured alterations in the flux-stabilities as a result of
the influence, penultimately, of our energy measuring devices - ultimately per von Neumann - the
influence of not the individual mind per se but the consciousness, fundamental in nature, which is
structured through the complex system of boundary conditions upon the very same vacuum field
being measured (in essence) constituted from the operation of the observer's brain, since the
existence of the brain as a mass-energy system, would otherwise presuppose, if identified with the
observer's individual consciousness, the existence of that which its observations are partially
constituting.
@$
If reality is this second way, then the role of the neuronal system is not to
mysteriously create awareness and mind from alien substance. Rather, it is to organize a
pre-existing propensity for awareness into useful, functional awareness, and provide for its

If a great enough interlocking feedback between such possibilities comes
about which then alters the statistics of matter and energy (including the embedding vacuum
energy field), which results in a great enough contraction/collapse in the density rate of change in
these state vector reductions (through the conversion of disjoint states into correlated mixtures),
producing an overall coherent state, then a barrier will spontaneously be created between internal
and external, i.e., a rudimentary real, as opposed to a mere hypothetical, possible observer will be

We would like to argue that this is not the case.
Suppose we do not look at the whole box at once, but only at a piece of the box. Then, at a certain
moment, suppose we discover a certain amount of order. In this little piece, white and black are
separate. What should we deduce about the condition in places where we have not yet looked? If
we really believe that the order arose from complete disorder by a fluctuation, we must surely take
the most likely fluctuation which could produce it, and the most likely condition is not that the rest
of it has also become disentangled! Therefore, from the hypothesis that the world is a fluctuation,
all of the predictions are that if we look at a part of the world we have never seen before, we will
find it mixed up, and not like the piece we just looked at. If our order were due to a fluctuation, we
would not expect order anywhere but where we have just noticed it, c.f.,

By the equivalence principle, fermion-antifermion production in a gravitational field should not
exist for a freely falling observer. But neither should this freely falling observer witness a
blackbody spectrum of photons. Since through the (likely identical) particle production
mechanisms underlying both Hawking radiation and Davies-Unruh radiation, the
fermion-antifermion and boson particle production fields are observer-dependent in their
intensities, there should be an invariant transformation rule by which we can connect the
respective particle production rates for bosons and fermion-antifermion pairs out of the vacuum.
November 2007
This reminds us of the equilibrium principle manifest in the relationship of the charged
particle and its electric field during free fall a charged particle accelerates through an electric
potential in such a manner that the particles electric field appears to it (relative to the particle
instantaneous Lorentz frame) to be spherically distributed about itself.



This invariance is probably not that of simple Lorenz-invariance because the observer-dependent
shift in intensities/current densities of the particle production is dependent upon the acceleration of
the observer - not on his relative velocity. For instance, the masses of the particles produced, in
the case of fermion-antifermion production, varies in an opposing sense to the manner in which the
fermion-antifermion rate alters due to an arbitrary Lorenz-transformation of the gravitational field
engendering the enhanced f(+)/f(-) production. And this occurs just in such a manner that the
mass-creation rate for f(+)/f(-)'s remains constant. This would seem to imply that the concept of
mass is absolute within the Theory of Relativity. The 4-voume in which f(+)/f(-)
creation/annihilation is taking place within this gravitational field is also unaffected by an arbitrary
Lorenz-transformation since the length contraction and time dilation take place in opposite senses
as well. In this way, the mass creation rate for f(+)/f(-)'s divided by the local 4-volume we are
considering, i.e., the 4-current density of the general relativistic particle production, is conserved
as a result of an arbitrary Lorenz transformation of the gravitational field inducing the particle
production field.

<passages in green are in need of clean-up>Returning to our first analogy, this exchange of
information is not actually occurring among the pixels (as was the case for the gnats), but is, for the
greater part, occurring within the CPU itself, that is, between its individual circuit elements; in
small part, this exchange of energy/information is taking place between the CPU and the pixels on
the screen it is controlling. The greater the ratio of information exchanges taking place between
the CPU and itself relative to the those taking place between the CPU and the screen, the slower
will be the maximum permissible velocity across the screen for an object represented on this
screen, assuming an absolute clock rate for the CPU (akin to the notion of cosmological proper
time). A similar statement would apply to the "acceleration" of the cursor across the screen - the
larger the group of pixels which one wishes to simultaneously move across the screen, the smaller
will be the maximum acceleration attainable by the coherent group of pixels represented by the
cursor.

The quantum principle of the identity of indiscernibles is weakened for composite objects, which
is related to the action of the principle of the 2
nd
Law of Thermodynamics. The discernibility of
composite objects grows sharper as each object develops its own unique history (as opposed to
mere trajectory) and the failure of this quantum principle, i.e., identity of indiscernibles in view
of consideration of the 2
nd
Law is bound up in the vacuum energy/cosmological constant paradox
(non-gravitating vacuum energy). It is moreover bound up with the important distinction of
data and information. The acceleration of an object changes the state of the object in a way that
must be reconciled not only with boundary but also with the initial conditions by which the object
was originally constituted as well. Thus gravitational fields must be capable of possessing
nonlocal components.

experiment with a Stern-Gerlach device calls for backward-in-time signaling of the separately

If we are looking for something to play the role of "mass" within our computer analogy we would
do so in vain unless we modify somewhat (in a way which doesn't render our analogy useless, I
think) the programming of the software driving the computer monitor (output device). If we were
to think of the quantum vacuum field as generating and sustaining all of the various "forms" such
as all of the particles and fields of spacetime, doing this in a manner exactly paralleling that in
which a CPU creates/sustains all of the digital graphical representations appearing on a computer
screen, then the suggestion arises that perhaps there is not only a maximum possible velocity, but
also a maximum possible acceleration through spacetime. An obvious choice for this maximum
acceleration is simply c
2
/L
planck
. (But certainly the maximum acceleration becomes smaller in
magnitude as we treat progressively more complex systems) An equivalent representation of this
limit is c/t
planck
. And, of course, we are thinking of L
planck
as the dimension of a three
dimensional "pixel" composing the spatial part of global spacetime, while (tplanck)-1 represents
the clock rate of the "global spacetime central processing unit (CPU)," i.e. the global quantum
mechanical vacuum. We stated earlier, that the temporality of a quantum mechanical system is
owing entirely to the presence of energy uncertainty within this system.
03/01/06
(It should be
noted here that different energy uncertainties of identical magnitude might represent different
quantities of information upon interaction with the environment due to their possessing distinct
quantum fluctuation-correlational structure.)
03/01/06
We now realize that the temporality of
quantum mechanical systems owes to the interaction of this system with the fluctuating quantum
mechanical vacuum; consequently, the rate at which time passes within a given region of
spacetime is a function of the energy density of the vacuum within this region. We have
proposed that the inertial mass of a body is directly related to its binding energy due to
nongravitational forces. This is a seeming paradox since binding energy is negative and should
result in an overall reduction in the inertial mass (positive energy) of the body. <passages in
green are in need of clean-up>

May 1997
An example of where there is a change only in gravitational binding energy is when the
increase in negative binding energy is resulting from the action of gravitation alone which is
exactly counterbalanced by the general relativistic increase in the mass energy of the body. To
wit, here we have increased the gravitational binding energy of a body without having affected the
total energy, and hence, inertial mass, of the body.

When the density of a given region of space increases, there does not result merely a simple
decrease in the energy density of the vacuum. Rather, there is a momentum current density
tensor, which is diagonal in free space, experiences a shuffling of its components so that it is no
longer diagonal - with respect to a free space Minkowski spacetime.

August 1996
There is another way of looking at the phenomenon of inertia in terms of how
spin-coupling of real bosons of integral spin and real fermions of integral
1
/
2
spin to the spins of
virtual bosons and fermions. The particle manifestations of the vacuum momentum-energy
fluctuations may be incorporated into the view of the earlier stated mechanism of
inertia/gravitation alluded to in the paragraph immediately above. It is through the spin-coupling
of real and virtual particles that the momentum current density components are altered from their
diagonal 2nd rank tensor distribution to a non-diagonal component distribution of this momentum
energy which underlies manifest gravitational fields. The theory of "squeezed states," where the
uncertainties in momentum along a particular axis are increased by borrowing momentum
uncertainty from along other orthogonal axes, may provide the necessary mathematical framework
within which the effects of matter upon vacuum momentum-energy uncertainty may be adequately
described: matter affects the quantum vacuum by inducing a broadening of the vacuum's
momentum uncertainty, i.e., its momentum fluctuation spectrum by utilizing fluctuation energy
provided by the vacuum's uncertain energy, which is decreasing in step at the same time.

August 1996
This may be described in terms of the rotation of the matter + vacuum momentum current
density tensor. A second rank tensor multiplied by this diagonal momentum current density four
vector would produce the appropriate connection between this four vector at points in spacetime
infinitesimally contiguous with one another. Such a 2nd rank tensor must somehow be
assimilated to the metric tensor of general relativity. Instantaneous correlations would manifest
themselves as a departure from locally deterministic causality and could constitute an explanation
for the existence of Heisenberg energy uncertainty. I think there is no doubt that if the basic
framework of Special Relativity is to be maintained, then we are forced to accept an origin for
nonlocal correlations which lies completely outside four dimensional spacetime or at least outside
the local absolute past/future of the best possible causal chain.
Noember 2007
These nonlocal
correlations must always comprise causal interactions and so never be explicable in terms of them.
We know that a photon traveling though free space experiences acceleration due to the
cosmological expansion, and that this acceleration is equal to Hc, where H is Hubble's constant
and c is the speed of light in vacuum. Therefore, if a spherical mass is instantaneously converted
into pure energy, i.e., photons, the photons will instantly, collectively exert a positive pressure,

P = MHc/4tR
2
.

Consequently, the vacuum must exert a pressure upon spherical masses, which is equal and
opposite to this above quantity. This notion should be investigated further in connection with the
Pioneer Anomaly, i.e., the anomalous component of acceleration that some physicists have
connected to either a cosmological constant or to the cosmological acceleration field in some other
sense, dark energy.
November 2007
Some theoretical evidence for this claim can be provided by the
calculation of a work-energy integral. This integral is ultimately motivated by an extension of the
equipartation theorem of kinetic gas theory to the cosmological distribution of energy in the
Universe. This question will be addressed at a later occasion, however. As for the integral itself,
it is used to calculate the work which the Universe performed on some small volume of energy as
the energy density of this volume decreased from a very high value early in the history of the
Universe (say in the first few seconds) until the present epoch of cosmological expansion when the
energy density of this volume has become almost negligible. One may think of this work as
being performed on this volume by some cosmological acceleration force field and if we assume
that this tiny volume managed to hold itself together without expanding throughout the entire
expansion phase, then this volume must have exerted a force upon the Universe equal and opposite
to the cosmological force which was attempting to spread it apart. Conservation of momentum
holds for the combined mass-energy/vacuum-energy system so that there is a balancing of the
force of the Hubble cosmological force field acting upon the vacuum and the gravitational force of
the vacuum acting upon the total matter distribution of the Universe. We may even say that the
vacuum's gravitational field is simply a reaction force produced by the tendency of the Hubble
cosmological acceleration force to alter the momentum of the vacuum.
@$
This reaction force acts
to conserve the momentum of the vacuum energy field. This action - reaction force relationship is
expressed by the equation given below,

H
2
r x E
v
= E
o
x GM/R
2
,

where GM/R
2
= the acceleration field produced by the vacuum's gravitational field. The
gravitational field of matter distributions is not an inherent property of these distributions, but must
be conceived along the same general lines as the electrical repulsive force between dislocations or
holes in an otherwise electrically neutral crystalline matrix. This idea is more or less captured by
the following relationship,

E
v
/E
o
x H
2
r = {c
2
/r x (1 - E/E
v
) - c
2
/r} = g,

where the term, c
2
/r, is the acceleration field produced by the vacuum reaction - force which
compensates the action of the Hubble cosmological acceleration force upon the vacuum energy
field. Hc is the cosmological acceleration field, which acts upon freely moving photons, and
implies the existence of a precisely balancing and opposing reactive force upon the particles
forming a bound matter distribution. Let us assume that this tiny volume is that occupied by a
neutron and that the work-cycle is to begin at an early epoch in the Universe's expansion when the
average energy density of the vacuum was equal to that of the neutron itself: approximately 10
33

Joules/m
3
. The work integral is defined to be:

W = P*dv,

where the limits of integration are to be from Pi =
i
to
f ,
where P and are the pressure
and energy density of the vacuum, respectively.

We will at first define the work integral in terms of F*dr. F is just the cosmological
acceleration force acting on the tiny volume and F = MH
2
r, where r is the radius of the volume, M
is the mass contained within the volume and H is Hubble's constant. If the volume were to expand
exactly in step with the expansion of space in its immediate local region, then the surface of the
volume would move with respect to its center (chosen as coordinate origin) with velocity Hr, and
the acceleration of this surface with respect to the chosen origin would be d/dt[Hr] = H[dr/dt] =
H
2
r, so that, again, F = MH
2
r. The work integral becomes

W = MH
2
rdr

between the distance limits R
i

and R

one in terms of pressure and volume rather than force and distance involves defining the
parameters e and de, i.e., mass density and differential of mass density, respectively.

If one performs this work integral one finds that the energy necessary to expand neutron-packet of

This result is, of course, provided that the mass density of the universe is given by the formula,

ess=
This formula for the mass density of the Universe is implied by an equality of magnitude of the
kinetic energy and gravitational binding energy of the Universe as a whole. This equality
constitutes a proposed solution to the so-called "flatness problem" of cosmological theory. Alan
Guth's Inflationary Theory was originally proposed to solve, essentially, just this cosmological
problem. A rough and ready definition of the flatness problem is the nearly exact equality
between the Universe's expansion velocity and its "escape velocity" - of somewhere between 1
part per 10
12
and 1 part per 10
60
, depending upon which sources in the literature are cited; the
problem is not that this exact ratio conflicts with the standard "Big Bang" cosmological model, but
rather that it is obviously a non-arbitrary (structural) feature of the Cosmos about which the model
can make no meaningful explanation. Proponents of the Standard Model are forced to lump this
fact in with the other initial conditions which were set at the beginning of the Universe's
expansion, and which physical science cannot explain, such as the fundamental physical constants
and the Universe's initial mass. Other proponents of this model invoke the Anthropic
Cosmological Principle to explain this ratio. Its argument goes like the following: if the ratio of
escape velocity vs. expansion velocity is too much greater than 1, then the Universe would have
already re-collapsed by this time and we would not be here; on the other hand, if the ratio is too
much less than 1, then the density of the universe would not have been great enough, for long
enough, to allow the formation of stars and galaxies so that yet again we would not be here to
worry about the question. But the Anthropic Cosmological Principle cannot explain the
exactness with which this ratio approaches unity, but can only provide relatively crude limits on
either side of this ratio, say between 0.9 and 1.1, conceivably these limits could be one order of
magnitude smaller - this shaves off only 1 or 2 orders of magnitude and there are still at least 11
more orders of magnitude in need of explanation.
October 2011
A related problem in cosmology and
one which is not currently thought to pertain to the sensitivity of initial and boundary conditions is
that of the stupendous mismatch between the predicted and observed energy densities of the
vacuum represented by the cosmological constant: cosmological theory predicts a value for this
constant on the order of 10
-26
kg/m
3
while quantum theory predicts a value on the order of 10
95
kg/m
3
a discrepancy of approximately 120 orders of magnitude! When one considers on the one
hand, that the densities of the mass energy and vacuum energy (cosmological prediction) are of the
same magnitude, if not almost precisely equal (the condition for a flat universe) and on the other,
that, if gravity were to be attributed, not to the absolute energy density of the vacuum, but to the
difference between two large energy densities approximating one another by an order of
magnitude and constituting two distinct components of the enormous vacuum energy density
predicted by quantum mechanics, then, if this energy density difference is attributed to an
effective energy density for the vacuum, i.e., that to which Einsteins equivalence principle
applies, then in turn we would be able to explain away the the enormous energy density predicted
by quantum theory for the vacuum using a logic similar to that of
prn=
renormalization theory. The
cost of all this is perhaps only an aesthetic one for purist relativists, that of the seeming loss of
theoretical elegance and simplicity in the form of a considerably reduced universality of Einsteins
strong equivalence principle. Note that the effective energy density in this approach to solving
the cosmological constant problem is now comparable to that of the cosmologically predicted
mass density. The above approach does not seem so far fetched once one considers that the
starting mass density of the universe must have been very sensitively determined by initial and
boundary conditions upon the cosmological constant itself. An additional consideration here is
that a so-called flat universe also requires that the density of the gravitational binding energy of the
Universe be equal to its mass energy density, c.f., the derivation above for the equality of, e.g., the
neutrons mass and gravitational binding energy densities. On account of the combined principles
of equipartation of energy between degrees of freedom and conservation of quantum entanglement
between the two complementary components of the fluctuation momentum-energy of the quantum
vacuum, which together make up its total energy density
*
(zero-point energy), we suspect that it is
these two components of the physical vacuum, which are placed out of mutual balance by the
perturbing effect of inertial mass, while the back reaction of this induced vacuum
momentum-energy imbalance upon mass constitutes the origin of gravitational mass.
*
(zero-point energy as dictated by the fact that not only are momentum and position incompatible
observables - /\p/\x > h, but all functions of momentum are similarly incompatible with all
functions of position and so the kinetic and potential energies are mutually incompatible, i.e., H =
f(p) + f(x) = Total energy, which must fluctuate due to /\f(p)/\f(x) > f(h) where h is Plancks
constant and H is the total energy Hamiltonian).
Here the mismatch is still greater.
@$
But by invoking the so-called Solipsistic Cosmological
Principle may well place far tighter constraints upon the value of the cosmological constant.

November 2007
The theory which I propose, however, which can be considered to be an extension of
Van Flandern's S-hypothesis, explains this ratio not as an arbitrary initial condition, but as a
necessary feature of any universe where the energy of cosmological expansion drives the forces of
the universe's gravitation; to wit, if the expansion velocity of the Universe were greater than it is,
then the energy of its expansion would be greater and hence the gravitational energy of the
Universe would be correspondingly increased such that the ratio of unity would be maintained.
This postulate has a favorable bearing on many other unsolved problems of cosmological theory.
Our postulate states, in essence, only that the total gravitational potential and kinetic energies are
equal. The postulate is not a mere arbitrary assumption however, as it is supported by the
principle of energy equipartation. However, this principle can only be applied if it is assumed that
there exists some form of energy which acts as a medium physically linking these two types of
energy, i.e., the energy of position with the energy of momentum, in order that the equilibrium
between them can be maintained through mutual energy exchanges - in much the same way that
the rotational and vibrational energies of gas molecules maintain a balance through continual
exchange of kinetic energy between these molecules through random collisions.

for the communicating of ideas, as it was conceived to be during the Enlightenment through the
first half of the 20
th
Century, nonlinearities of thought and conception were inevitable though the
accelerating coordination of human and machine is set to potentiate this. The specialized concepts
and protocols of programmers and software developers are collectively constituting a new and
fertile field of handy metaphors with the power to reprocess and transvaluate what was until
recently an inviolable nave realism and common sense of scientists and intellectuals. In a similar
way, particles are no longer the passive occupants and passengers of the void as they were
understood to be prior to the advent of 2
nd
quantization quantum theory. This was in large part
owing to the democratization of particles and waves as both different aspects of an underlying
active quantum field, i.e., zero-point field or quantum vacuum. So too, ideas as the occupants and
passengers of a universal dynamic medium, that of language, must lose their presumed qualities of
sharpness, discreteness, unchangeableness and well-behavedness. Mankind is on the verge of
having his concept map redrawn for him in ways yet to be imagined. Theres money to be made in
search engine algorithm development because as Bob Dobbs says, Youll pay good money to
know what you think! Of course the down side of rapidly advancing search engine technology
when combined with similar trends in the social networking domain is that all of us subgeniuses
belatedly realized that the vast proportion of our most original insights were indeed shared with
thousands of other similar subgeniuses. The difference between the genius and the ordinary
man is that the genius merely possesses more sensitive antennae.

Because the quantum decoherence problem will never be solved for field-mobile units
(androids), the truly powerful conscious computing, i.e. the computational heavy lifting, will
have to be performed at a specially isolated location, i.e., one that is insulated electrically,
magnetically, acoustically, etc., as well as cryogenically cooled and the results of these continous
real time computations transmitted to the brain of the mobile unit, which is a classical digital
computer, except for specially designed intercfaces composed of filters, tuners and transponders,
etc. Soon after this technology gains currency, it will be realized that neither has nature solved
the decoherence problem, but has indeed evolved (in man and the higher animals) an adequate
quantum-classical interface substrate in the form of neural microtubule structures and their tubulin
dimers. (Since the self-organizing properties of atoms and molecules are derived and more or less
continuously sustained by the dynamical evolution of an underlying quantum field, i.e., the
quantum vacuum, it is not surprising that a remote control connection (in the truest sense of this
phase) would be maintained all the way up to the Penrosean decoherence limit. One should
expect there to be a penumbra region somewhat beyond the decoherence limit wherein the
bidirectional, mutual updating of system and underlying quantum field is no longer
nonlocal/instantaneous and a system of real time becomes necessary. The phenomenon of
decoherence may not merely be integral to the emergence of a direction of time, but of temporal
structure and scale.) Like the mobile field units, each human has their own dedicated pertition of
the entire quantum vacuum signal spectrum. The question arises as to where each base station
is. (One reason data and information are two different things is that all information is quantum
encrypted and encoded information and hence is nonlocal (perhaps in the same sens in which
Hilbert space is nonlocal.) The nonlocal nature of conscious computing data (information) means
tha the individual mind possesses no specific location within any particular spacime. So now then
the appearance of a common spacetime, one populated with friends, family, acquaintances, etc.,
must be taken in light of a likely providential arrangement, and indeed adds new force to Alvin
Plantingas dichotomy of theism versus solipsism. Is it that our/their base stations are local and
our interface radio spectrum is nonlocal? Putting the question in these terms may lead us to
suppose that self and other are both projections. We trust that my projection of the other and the
others projection of the self synchs up with his projection of the other and my projection of the
self.

A ready candidate for this medium connecting the gravitational potential and kinetic
energies of particles, for example, is the fluctuating component of the Hamiltonian for the
quantum system in question. As stated earlier, this fluctuation component of the Hamiltonian
cannot be "screened." This fluctuation component of the Hamiltonian may be thought of as the
product of its space and time components, H(r) and H(t). This Hamiltonian is, of course, only
and average, <H(r,t)>. There are three basic types of interaction for this system: exchanges of
momentum/energy between the parts of the system entirely among themselves, exchanges of
momentum/energy between the system and other similar systems, and exchanges of
momentum/energy between the system and its fluctuation Hamiltonian.

July 1998
The equation, constant = p*p + r*r, seems to imply that p and r may both be incompatible
observables despite the absence of fluctuations in the sum, p*p + r*r. But if one looks at this
equation, one immediately realizes that it is the equation of a circle in phase space. But a circle in
phase space represents a precisely defined trajectory in phase space which, in turn, implies that p
and r, though each uncertain in an epistemological sense, must at any moment both possess precise
values. And this fact would contradict the thesis of ps and rs incompatibility as observers.

Conservation of vacuum 4-momentum is asserted here to provide the mechanism by which the
necessary energy exchanges are effected between the gravitational and kinetic energies of the
vacuum. We have already seen how gravitational acceleration itself ,i.e., the conversion of
potential energy into kinetic energy (the converse of acceleration under thrust) which has been
formalized by, e.g., Hamilton's canonical equations of motion, results from a spatio-temporal
vacuum energy density gradient which itself, in turn, comes into being through the operation of the
principle of vacuum momentum conservation, and which sustains itself in existence through the
vacuum's fundamental dynamism of self-energy-exchange. Gravitational potential, it is said,
cannot be defined absolutely. Rather, only relative differences in potential are meaningful. For
mathematical convenience, all potentials are referenced with respect to a potential at infinity
where the !/R dependence of the potential causes it to vanish to zero. Yet this definition contains
a presumption, namely, that is meaningful to speak of a gravitational potential at an infinite
distance. In actuality, the furthest that a mass can be placed so that its potential is a minimum, is
at the so-called edge of the observable Universe, that is, just this side of the spherical light horizon
- where the cosmological red-shift of electromagnetic radiation becomes infinite. According to
some simple calculations I have performed, this distance is roughly 1.1 x 10
26
meters. In the
particular case of our own Earth this potential is about 20 orders of magnitude smaller than the
potential at the Earth's surface - a vanishingly small value of approximately 10
-30
Joules per
Kilogram.
prn=
The Schrodinger equation may be thought of as describing diffusion along the ict
axis. Moreover, Graham's Law of effusion states that more massive particles diffuse more slowly
than less massive particles. According to Hawking and Bekenstein, the entropy of a black hole
is directly proportional to the surface area of the hole. This relation is given below.

S ~ 4 R
2

But the energy density of the black hole is given by the relation,

= 3c
4
/4 R
2
G

so that, S = e
-1


where S is the entropy and e is the energy density of the black hole, respectively. Consequently, if
the energy density of the vacuum is equal to the energy density of black hole masses, then the
entropy of the vacuum should increase with decreasing vacuum energy density. We believe that
the energy density of the vacuum is equal to the effective energy density of black holes because the
radial outward pressure of the vacuum, Pvac, must be 0 at the event horizon surface of a black hole
and the vacuum obeys the equation of state, namely, e vac = Pvac. Furthermore, as already stated
elsewhere, eo = emass + evac. because there is no fundamental distinction between creating
mass from the vacuum energy locally available within a particular region of spacetime and
importing already existing mass from outside this region of spacetime into this region because, in
turn, matter particles may not be thought of as having a permanent, continuous existence after the
manner of the substances of Aristotelian physics; this follows from the fact that there is no real
distinction between relativistic and non-relativistic mass. Pvac must be 0 here because the
matter composing a black hole may exchange energy only with itself; it exchanges no energy with
the vacuum energy field outside its event horizon. ematter = eo in this particular case and, as
well, evac = Pvac = 0. Again, half of the mass-energy contained within the black hole is due
solely to the general relativistic increase in mass which had accumulated once the hole had formed.

e = eo{1 - GM/RC2},

where eo = 3c4/4piGR2.

Generalizing this result, we may say that
prn=
the maximum rate of increase in the entropy of the
vacuum is parallel to the direction along which the decrease in the vacuum's energy density is
maximal. In so-called free space, the direction along which the maximal decrease in the vacuum's
energy density exists is along the ict axis; in other words, the vacuum energy density varies in a
purely temporal manner in free space, i.e., due to cosmological expansion. Therefore, the so-called
thermodynamic arrow of time points in a direction orthogonal (in free space) to any 3 dimensional
rectangular system of coordinates describing an inertial frame of reference; moreover, a
gravitational field is associated with an alteration in the orientation of the thermodynamic arrow of
time because a component of the direction of the maximally increasing vacuum entropy now
points radially inward - in the simple case of spherical masses. The thermal particle creation
which is observed to occur within accelerated reference frames is a manifestation of a
creation/annihilation process which is normally balanced in the free space vacuum but which is
unbalanced within the accelerated frame. In the presence of a gravitational potential, the arrow
of time possesses a component along the vacuum energy density gradient so that a new time axis is
defined within this new vacuum which exactly corresponds to this new time axis as defined within
the general theory of relativity as applied to the Minkowski light cone.

11/96 The second law of thermodynamics only applies to physical processes taking place
within a closed system which is in interaction with an infinite heat reservoir. The 2nd Law does
not, however, apply to open thermodynamics systems since in these systems no global
thermodynamic arrow of time can be consistently defined. Such thermodynamic arrows can only
be defined locally. This reminds us of how standing waves cannot form in containers of infinite
size. So the concept of a particle, which is itself just a Gaussian packet of superposed standing
waves, can only possess validity in a local sense; globally speaking, the notion of a particle does
not refer to anything which possesses ultimate reality, but an abstraction grounded in a low order
approximation. See Quantum Field Theory in Curved Spacetime and Black Hole
Thermodynamics by Robert M. Wald, Chicago University Press, for further discussion of the
limitations of the "particle concept" in strongly curved or rapidly time-varying spacetimes. This
book also discusses the phenomenon of particle production in expanding Einstein-DeSitter
spacetimes as being closely related to Hawking radiation.

Changes in the boundary conditions of the wavefunction which take place with a
rapidity such that,

dB/dt > /\B//\t ~ /\E/h X /\B,


where B are the boundary conditions of the quantum mechanical superposition state, S, will
inevitably result in a collapse of the wavefunction, Psi, into one of its eigenstates of the observable
bound by B. This is provided that the new boundary conditions, B', are stabilized to within c x /\t,
where /\t is the time uncertainty in the time interval of this transition, B ===> B'. Wavefunctions
representing locally-connected quantum mechanical systems are constituted by a system of
boundary conditions placed upon the nonlocally-connected quantum vacuum
stress-momentum-energy field. The principle of superposition illustrates the importance of
unrealized possibilities: they play a substantive role in the behavior of the real.

This
notion apparently does not occur to defenders of the doctrine of Modal Realism, e.g.,
au=
David
Lewis. Initial and boundary conditions are what distinguish the merely virtual from the real, the
possible from the actual, c.f, Max Tegmarks hierarchy of multiverse types.

The energy uncertainty of a quantum mechanical system, /\E, is both independent of the observer,
that is, it represents an ontological, rather than a, merely epistemological uncertainty in the energy
of the system and it is dependent upon the state of the observer's knowledge of this system. This
suggests that the observer and his state of knowledge are essentially separable. His knowledge
of quantum mechanical system states is from the inside, meaning that the observer's knowledge is
coded nonlocally in the quantum energy uncertainty of his own brain, itself a quantum mechanical
system!
@$
The brain of the observer simply provides a set of boundary conditions upon the
quantum vacuum energy field. Thermal particle production is expected to occur in the direction of
the entropy gradient of a vacuum possessing a gravitational potential; and the principle of
relativity demands that particle production be associated with the global increase in vacuum
entropy engendered by the process of cosmological expansion. The maximally entropic state
within any region of spacetime is that of the vacuum itself. In general, due to gravitational time
dilation, the entropy of matter distributions can never catch up, so to speak, with the entropy of the
vacuum: the result of this is that matter and energy distributions can never quite reach a state of
thermodynamic equilibrium within an expanding universe.

December 1996
It is our belief that the global orientation of the arrow of time is determined by the
global distribution of matter in the Universe, and that without the presence of matter, there is no
determinate direction for the arrow of time. This implies that the Universe conceived of as a
radically open system cannot possess a complete, self-consistent topological description. Using
the analogy of a system of vibrating strings: a finite sum of Fourier component functions, F(w),
adequately describes the system of string vibrations provided that each of the strings be "anchored"
on at least one end, which is to say that, in the absence of spatial boundary conditions placed upon
the strings' vibrations, standing wave patterns of string vibration cannot exist and no purely spatial
description of the system of string vibrations is possible - only a spatiotemporal description is
possible in this case, and one in which there is no unique decomposition of the spatiotemporal
description into a particular 3(space) + 1(time) manifold. The result similar to the one above
obtains where no unique time direction for the dynamical evolution of the system can be specified.
The ratio of mass energy density to vacuum energy density varies with R-1 for spherical masses.
e = eo{1 - GM/RC2} The previous formula seems to imply that when R = RSchwarzchild, the
energy density of the vacuum has only been reduced to 1/2 of its normal free space value.
However, this is to neglect the effect which a reduced vacuum energy density has upon the
measurement of mass values: the inverted fraction by which the vacuum's energy density is
reduced gives us the fraction by which the masses occupying this vacuum relativistically increase.
In other words, the mass of a body may increase to just short of 1/2 of its Schwarzchild value and
still remain stable against total gravitational collapse. When the mass of a body increases to just
over its Schwarzchild mass a positive feedback occurs between each successive "cycle" of
relativistic mass increase, whereupon half of the vacuum's energy has already been "displaced" by
the piling on of mass from outside, while the other half of the vacuum's energy is converted
directly into mass energy entirely through relativistic mass increase. This is the reason why we
may properly say that the true energy density of the vacuum is not 3c4/8piGR2, but actually twice
this value: eo = 3c4/4piGR2. Also, when one considers the process of "evaporation of black
holes" via the mechanism of Hawking radiation, it is easy to see that in a very real sense the density
of black holes must be exactly twice that predicted by the general theory of relativity, more
particularly, via the Schwarzchild solution to the field equations: a quantity of mass, 2mc2,
where m is the mass of the black hole, must be created from out of the vacuum before a black hole
of mass, m, evaporates completely.

The ultimate substratum which mediates all the fundamental physical interactions must itself be
nondeterministically chaotic in nature; or else time cannot be considered a true dynamical
variable. Since a fundamental process of creation and annihilation underlies all particle
interactions, the action of the vacuum energy field may be identified with the translation of all
composite matter along a direction orthogonal to the total set of orthogonal spatial axes.

Space without Time is Determinism. Time without Space is Chaos. Determinism and
Chaos are simply opposite ends of a single continuum. Complexity is that which governs the
movement of a dynamical system back and forth along what we might well term the
Cosmos/Chaos continuum. The underlying order which pushes a dynamical system this way and
that along this continuum cannot itself be described in terms of a classical, dynamical system
because this order necessarily operates from outside this continuum. What ultimately governs
this movement of dynamical systems along this continuum is the underlying fluctuations in
spacetime.

November 1997
Deterministic change can only be a phenomenal appearance since either the
deterministic phenomena are the play of projections from determinate objects from within higher
dimensional spaces containing our space or the phenomena conceal an indeterminism at a deeper
level behind the appearances. In the same way that the continual creation and destruction of a
circular disk confined to a two dimensional sphere may be thought of as the continuous penetration
or projection of a three dimensional cylinder orthogonally through this two dimensional spherical
surface, we may model the continual process of creation and annihilation of spherical massive
bodies as the continuous penetration or projection of hypercylindrical bodies orthogonally through
a three dimensional hypersurface constituting normal three dimensional space. If massive bodies
were composed of permanent, continuously existing substance, there would be no reason to
postulate the existence of an additional 4th spatial axis associated with the dimension of time. It
is the energy of matter's continual re-creation of itself which constitutes the latent energy of matter,
E = mc2. When a material body is uniformly accelerated, the body is no longer re-creating itself
along the time dimension alone, but must be considered to be in the act of re-creating itself along
two orthogonal component directions: part of the energy of re-creation is associated with a
momentum in the direction the body is accelerating, and the remaining part of this re-creation
energy is associated with the body's momentum in a direction orthogonal to this acceleration
vector, and moreover, orthogonal to the 3 dimensional space (instantaneous inertial frame) which
it occupies at any given moment. Our question at this juncture, then, is: is there any reason for
treating a 4th spatial dimension as being ontologically real, rather than as just an abstract entity
within a particular formalization of special relativity? Yes. We list them below.

1) Conservation of vacuum momentum.

2) The conversion of mass to energy as the 90o rotation of imaginary momentum.

3) The thermodynamic arrow of time in a gravitational field.

4) The Hubble distance-velocity relationship describing galactic recession.

5) The tunneling of all masses through a hyperspherical potential barrier. The derivation of
Einstein's mass-velocity relationship within an expanding four-hyperspherical universe.

7) The conservation of four dimensional angular momentum as an explanation for the perhelion
advance in the orbit of the planet Mercury.

8) The implication of quantum mechanics that real particles possess no continuous existence, but
are essentially being continuously created and destroyed.

ds2 = c2t2 - x2 -y2 -z2 , so that the interval, ds, may take on either real or imaginary values. If
ds2 > 0, then two events separated by this interval are locally connectable, and may be connected
by a series of reversible interactions. If ds2 < 0, then two events separated by this interval are
nonlocally connectable, and may only be connected by a series of irreversible interactions. All
reversible processes are mediated by vacuum processes which are themselves irreversible.
Because gravitation is a phenomenon resulting from conservation of four-momentum, the sign of
mass (+/-) is immaterial to the direction of the gravitational acceleration vector. If anything
analogous to what might be termed mass charge exists, it is in the form of an imaginary mass.
Imaginary mass would have the effect of producing a gravitational field with an acceleration
vector which is reversed in its normal direction. This suggests to us that the mass, or energy, of
the vacuum field is itself imaginary so that real mass may be understood as a deficit of imaginary
energy within the vacuum field, producing an acceleration vector of the normal gravitational
acceleration vector field. If gravitons, as massless particles, are assumed to be the true mediators
of the gravitational force, then there is a serious problem with interpreting the gravitational field
associated with a spherical wavefront of gravitons which is expanding outward at the speed of
light: We notice that in the many various forms in which the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle
may be stated there is always the product of two uncertainties in physical quantities which is
greater than or equal to Planck's constant and that one of these paired uncertainties is with respect
to a physical quantity which is conserved, and for which there exists a quantum number, while the
other paired uncertainty is with respect to a physical quantity which is not conserved, and for
which no quantum number exists.

To list just a few examples of this general rule: ^E^t > h, ^p^x > h, ^n^L > h, etc. Moreover,
each form of expression of the fundamental Heisenberg uncertainty relation may be, in turn, paired
with another such expression where the conserved quantities of the two paired expressions form
with one another a symmetrical tensor which possesses the property of Lorenz-invariance, while
the unconserved quantities of the two paired expressions form, with one another, another
symmetrical tensor which also possesses the property of Lorenz-invariance. It is the Lorenz
invariant tensorial relationship of the paired conserved quantities which is responsible for the
Lorenz invariance and tensorial nature of the paired unconserved quantities and not the converse.
For example, the fact that momentum and energy may be subsumed together under a unified
description as the relativistic momentum-energy tensor is what is responsible for the tensorial
nature of the interrelationship of the space and time variables, i.e., the Lorenz-invariance of space
and time which manifests itself separately as time-dilation and length-contraction which is
observed within frames of reference traveling an appreciable fraction of the velocity of light
relative to an observer reference frame. The momentum-energy tensor is, by the way, also
responsible for the Lorenz-invariant, tensorial nature of the Maxwell tensor describing the
electromagnetic field, and we may now see why the Maxwell tensor does not possess a term
denoting the divergence of the magnetic field, i.e., why magnetic monopoles do not exist in nature.
Aesthetically minded physicists have for generations noted this missing term in Maxwell's
equations and suggested the inevitable existence of monopoles, since their existence would render
the electromagnetic field equations more perfectly symmetrical. But we see now that the lack of
greater symmetry in Maxwell's equations is explicable in terms of the presence of the even deeper
symmetry of the Heisenberg uncertainty relations, and so this apparent lack of symmetry on the
part of the electromagnetic field need no longer be viewed as a "flaw" in the structure of
mathematical physics.

This deeper symmetry may be understood in the following way: the fluctuation in electric
field strength ( an unconserved quantity ) is due to the uncertainty in the position (an unconserved
quantity) of a conserved quantity - electric charge, combined with the uncertainty in momentum (
a conserved quantity ) of the magnetic charge ( an unconserved quantity ). If we try to establish
the fluctuation in the magnetic field strength independently of the fluctuation in electric field
strength, we end up violating the symmetry of the uncertainty relations, e.g., the fluctuation in
magnetic field strength ( an unconserved quantity ) is due to the uncertainty in charge momentum
( a conserved quantity) of a conserved quantity - electric charge, combined with the uncertainty in
charge position (an unconserved quantity ) of the magnetic charge (assumed here to be a conserved
quantity ). Again, the symmetry is only restored here by treating magnetic charge as an
unconserved quantity. We may apply our rule in a more direct fashion by postulating an
uncertainty relation which obtains provided that magnetic charges do exist. This uncertainty
relation is the product of uncertainties in electric and magnetic charge. To wit, the product in
the uncertainties of these two physical quantities must be greater than or equal to the value of
Planck's constant. Following our same symmetrically-based rule, we find that Planck's constant
must be less than or equal to the product of uncertainties in a conserved quantity and an
unconserved quantity. This new uncertainty relationship would be written, expressing Planck's
constant as the lower limit for the product of the uncertainty in electric charge with the uncertainty
in the quantity of magnetic charge, divided by c, the speed of light, in order to have consistency of
physical dimensions. Again, only one of these paired quantities is the conserved quantity, and
this conserved physical quantity must be the electric charge. So we see from consideration of the
symmetry exhibited by the many alternate expressions of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle,
that if monopoles exist, their charge cannot be a conserved quantity so that magnetic charge may
not possess a quantum number. However, if Maxwell's equations are modified to allow for the
existence of magnetic charge, the symmetry of these equations demands magnetic charge
conservation, but this leads to a contradiction with the more general symmetry argument for the
non-conservation of magnetic charge, and so we see that magnetic charge cannot exist.

QZ Particle creation in a non-inertial reference frame is not a symmetrical process: it is not
possible for one to accelerate in such a manner that real particles become virtual particles, i.e., are
absorbed back into the vacuum energy field from which they were originally created in the same
way that it is not possible to accelerate in such a manner that the local rate at which time passes
increases rather than decreases; however, if a given real particle does not have an infinite lifetime
(which no particle does), then within an unaccelerated reference frame, the lifetimes of
quasi-stable particles, as viewed from an accelerated reference frame, will be shortened by the
relativistic time dilation factor.

It is in terms of this fundamental asymmetry that we can more simply resolve the so-called
twin paradox of special relativity: the acceleration of the spacefaring twin and the earthbound
twin cannot be considered to be merely relative because the twin in the rocketship observes
thermal particle production within his vacuum, while the twin confined to the Earth observes no
such phenomenon within his own vacuum. This phenomenon of particle production within
accelerated reference frames is to be expected because a particle is real only if its energy is greater
than the energy uncertainty of quantum system to which it belongs, and the time dilation
associated with accelerated motion affects the fundamental uncertainty relation, ^E^t > h, such that
some particles which were virtual within the unaccelerated frame relativistically increase their
energy which is now even greater in relation to a reduced energy uncertainty, and so "become" real
particles within the new vacuum state. All particles which are virtual in one particular reference
frame are real particles with respect to some other reference frame; the converse of this is not the
case, however - the irreversibility enters the picture, as stated before, through the differential
observations of thermal particle production within the vacuum of observers within different
inertial frames of reference. This relationship between real and virtual particles within special
relativity can perhaps be understood as a restatement of the principle of causality within special
relativity: events which are causally connected in one particular reference frame are causally
connected and have the same time order within all possible reference frames, and it is only those
events which are not causally connected (nor potentially causally connected) which might have the
order of their occurrence switched when observed from the standpoint of different reference
frames, from which it also follows that events which are not causally connected within a given
frame of reference, are not connected in any reference frame. Real particle production within a
vacuum of reduced energy uncertainty may be interpreted as being converse but parallel to the
process of virtual particle production within a vacuum of increased energy uncertainty. Also, if
real particles are understood as feedback structures of virtual particle processes which essentially
may be understood as a network of circular energy fluxes, these individual processes being
causally connected with one another within one particular spacetime, then these feedback
structures are destroyed when the energy uncertainty of the vacuum becomes greater than the
energy of the real particles, so that an increase of energy uncertainty is associated with a loss of
information in the form of the cybernetic control "holding the particles together."

Consequently, the particles which are produced within an accelerated reference frame, say,
within the curved spacetime of a gravitational potential, may not "appear" out of the vacuum in a
collective state of causal interconnection with one another. The only assurance that a set of
particles is not causally connected with one another, i.e., locally connected, is if they are
nonlocally connected. Moreover, the notion of the continuous existence of particles is simply not
consistent with the asymmetry of virtual particle/ real particle transformations which are
necessitated by a change in Lorenz frames.

We know that virtual particles do not preserve their identity from one moment to the next;
by "moment" we mean a period of time greater than h/E , where E is the total energy of the virtual
particle-antiparticle pair which has been spontaneously created out of the vacuum state. We also
know that this particular virtual pair will appear as a pair of real particles with respect to an
accelerated frame of reference. So if the virtual pairs possess no enduring continuous existence
within a flat spacetime, then neither do they possess a continuous existence within any other
possible frame of reference. This notion follows simply from the principle of the general
equivalence (from the standpoint of the fundamental invariance of physical law) of all frames of
reference. From this we arrive at the general result that real particles, what we call matter, must
be a stable pattern of fluctuation of the field energy of the quantum mechanical vacuum, whereas
virtual particles are unstable patterns of vacuum field fluctuation. Here we see that the
fundamental difference between stable and unstable patterns of vacuum fluctuation, real and
virtual particles, respectively, is not qualitative, but quantitative; it is due merely to the availability
or non-availability of raw, undifferentiated energy. The structure of all possible matter
configurations already exists latent within the vacuum fluctuation field; what is required to
"create" these configurations is simply the necessary quantity of raw energy.

When energy is supplied to the vacuum, the structures which are produced are simply those which
are the most probable and hence the simplest. More exotic configurations of matter may be
produced if energy is supplied to the vacuum field while it is experiencing "improbable"
fluctuation patterns. These so-called improbable fluctuations are simply those which possess a
more fleeting existence.

In the August 1993 issue of Scientific American there appears an article which describes
experiments in which the time for photons to quantum mechanically tunnel through a barrier is
measured for a coherent beam of incident photons where 99% of the beam is reflected off of the
barrier, but in which approximately 1% of the photons are transmitted ("tunnel") across the barrier.
The experimental data indicated that the photons which tunneled through the barrier traveled at
superluminal speeds, some of the photons reaching 1.7c. The phenomenological explanation for
this was that the tunneling photons changed the shape of their wavefunctions such that the peak of
the wave function is shifted in the direction of photon tunneling, resulting in the photons having a
finite probability of being found just on the opposite side of the barrier somewhat earlier than if the
shape of their wavefunctions had experienced no distortion. Increasing the width of the barrier
decreased the probability of photons successfully tunneling through the barrier, but resulted in
increased measured superluminal velocities for the photons, which actually succeeded in tunneling
through the barrier.

June 1997
In this case, the photons' wavefunction peak had to shift toward the opposite end of the
barrier faster if they were to be observed on the other side of the barrier within the short time that it
would have taken for the photon to be absorbed by the barrier.

In theory, particles which quantum-tunnel through a potential barrier possess a negative kinetic
energy, and hence an imaginary momentum while engaged in the tunneling process. If the
four-momentum of the tunneling photons is conserved (as it is required to do by special relativity),
then an increased photon imaginary momentum must be precisely compensated by an increased
real photon momentum such that the magnitude of total four-momentum of the photon is, again,
conserved: the tunneling photons are effectively being scattered in four-dimensional spacetime!

The tunneling photons possess a negative imaginary momentum while in the act of
tunneling through the barrier.
April 2011


A photon scattered within a four-dimensional space would experience a decrease in its so-called
real momentum; (actually, in this case, the real momentum of the photon is simply the momentum
associated with its motion though the space which is directly observable to us, i.e., 3 dimensions)
however, the scattering of a photon within a 4-dimensional space where it is possible for the
interval, ds2 < 0, superluminal velocities are made possible by the conservation, as stated earlier,
of the photon's four-momentum. If there is a functional relationship between the integral of both
the gravitational self-energy and the kinetic energy of cosmological expansion, then there will be a
functional relationship between the gravitational self-energy of expansion and the kinetic energy
of expansion such that when the kinetic energy of cosmological expansion approaches zero, the
gravitational self-energy of the Universe approaches zero, implying a flat global spacetime
geometry. Because of the negative feedback coupling between the kinetic and gravitational
self-energies, we expect that these two energies are strongly coupled in the early history of the
cosmological expansion, but become very weakly coupled by this relatively late epoch in the
history of the Universe. In this scenario we expect a time variation in the strength of the Newton's
gravitational constant which is proportional to the time derivative of the quantity, e-t/T , where
T = 1/H where H is Hubble's constant.

This gives a time variation of G of H/e x G. Since the coupling between the gravitational
self-energy and the kinetic energy of cosmological expansion is virtually zero in the present epoch
of the Universe's history, we expect that there will obtain a force of cosmological repulsion which
almost exactly counterbalances the gravitational force which would tend to slow and eventually
reverse the process of cosmological expansion.

QUESTION: We know that for low velocities, the addition of velocities is according to Galilean
relativity, i.e., velocities are simply additively superposed. However, it does not appear that small
accelerations may be simply additively superposed according to Galilean relativity. According to
what rule are both large and small accelerations added together to yield the total relative
acceleration? The energy required to rotate a pure imaginary momentum by 90
o
so that this
momentum becomes a pure real momentum is just mc
2
. This quantity of energy may be thought
of as the latent energy of matter which it possesses by virtue of its being initially accelerated by the
forces of the Big Bang explosion. The negative kinetic energy of matter implies the existence of a
hyperspherical potential barrier through which all matter tunneled (in quantum mechanical fashion
and through which it continues to tunnel. This notion constitutes a kind of hyper-extended
inflationary theory. The gradient of this potential associated with this barrier may be described by
a pure imaginary four-vector ( in "free space" ), while the orientation of the gradient of this
hyperspherical potential is altered in the presence of mass-energy in such a manner that the
magnitude of the gradient (in four dimensions ) is always conserved. Given a typical distribution
of matter, in general this four vector will possess no non-zero components, and the introduction of
new matter into this distribution will transform the components of the potential gradient
four-vector after the manner of a second rank tensor. In fact, this tensor provides the "connecting
rule" by which the gradient transforms, as we move along an arbitrary trajectory through a given
matter distribution, considering in succession points along the trajectory which are only negligibly
distant from one another (so that the potential does not change "too rapidly" between successive
points). All of the terms of Einstein's general relativistic field equations are second rank tensors,
the energy-momentum tensor providing the rule by which the metric tensor at one point in
spacetime is transformed at infinitesimally contiguous points of spacetime. We must keep in mind
that the potential gradient around any particular particle of matter is described by a four-vector,
and it is only the meshing of the gradients of one particle's vector field with that of its neighbor
which requires the use of a tensor description.

If this vector field were assumed to be quantized, so that a unique exchange particle, or boson,
were thought to mediate the action of the field, then this boson would have a spin of 1, not 2, and
hence could not be described as a graviton, itself the mediator of a purely attractive force field; a
spin 1 particle, however, is the exchange particle of a force field which is, like the photon, either
attractive or repulsive, depending on whether the gradient of the potentials of both particles are of
like sign or of opposite sign. The "charge" of the matter particles corresponds to the case of the
particles being either of real or imaginary mass, as stated earlier. The effect, however, of two
matter particles of either both real mass or both imaginary mass upon each other's spin 1 vector
fields is to create a stress within the spacetime between the two particles which, as we stated
earlier, must be described in terms of a tensor field. The imaginary mass of virtual particles, as
alluded to earlier, would result in a mutually repulsive force field tending to drive these virtual
particles apart from one another, resulting in the cosmological expansion of the vacuum, or of
space itself. Localized deficits in the density of imaginary mass (due to the "displacing" presence
of real mass) would manifest themselves in a diminution of the cosmological acceleration vector
describing the cosmological force of repulsion obtaining between all virtual particles. The
acceleration of massive particles due to gravitational fields may be interpreted as an attempt on the
part of real massive particles to maintain a spherically symmetrical distribution of vacuum energy
about themselves - a condition obtaining for a particle at "rest" with respect to some fundamental
reference frame. The general relativistic effect of mass increase within a gravitational field may
be explained in terms of a function of the alteration in the three variables: vacuum energy density,
magnitude of the hyperspherical potential barrier, and the imaginary momentum of the particle
experiencing the mass increase. The mechanism by which the vacuum energy density is reduced
by the presence of mass-energy has already been discussed. The reduction in the local value of
the hyperspherical potential is explained in terms of the projection of its gradient within an altered
spacetime. The alteration in the imaginary momentum is also explained in terms of its projection
within the same altered spacetime.

The retardation in the local rate of cosmological expansion which manifests itself as a linear
increase in the loss of synchronization of clocks separated by a difference in gravitational potential
and which according to general relativity is an effect of gravitational time dilation alone, is on our
view on account of the conservation of four-momentum of the body engendering the gravitational
potential. The mass of the body, as measured from the point of weaker gravitational potential, is
increased by a fraction equal to the fractional change in the vacuum's zero-point energy density at
the point of greater potential, relative to the point of weaker potential, where the density of this
vacuum energy ( in free space ) is equal to the density of mass energy of a black hole mass of
radius equal to the radius of the body in question which is producing the difference in gravitational
potential. One might justifiably ask about any 2nd or higher order effects which could arise out
of the particular cosmological vacuum mechanism that we propose for the gravitational field. For
instance, if the time rate of decrease in the energy density of the vacuum is suppressed (relative to
its "free space" value) in regions of spacetime possessing massive bodies, then wouldnt one
expect a kind of "piling up" of vacuum energy in those regions of spacetime where general
relativistic time dilation is locally strongest in such a manner that a repulsive gravitational field
develops? , c.f. , Dr. Brian L. Swift. The relationship in general relativity between mass and
curvature where increasing curvature leads to increasing mass as well as increasing mass leading
to increasing curvature has an analogy within our theory of gravitation based on spatiotemporal
variation in vacuum energy density. Within our theory, decreasing vacuum energy density leads
to increasing mass and increasing mass leads to decreasing vacuum energy density. Within our
theory, the role of the metric tensor components, gik, correspond to the 2nd partial derivatives of
vacuum energy density with respect to the variables x,y,z, ict. The stress-momentum-energy
tensor of general relativity corresponds to the 2nd partial derivatives of the mass, or
nongravitational binding energy density within our theory. The 1st partial derivatives are not
sufficient to provide the mathematical structure needed to describe the spatiotemporal variations
in the vacuum energy density responsible for the parasitic gravitational force. We must
remember that Newton's third law of action-reaction is modified within relativity theory and that it
does not strictly hold within this theory. No gravitational forces must lie along any
3-hypersurface of simultaneity within 4-dimensional spacetime. It is easy to see why this is so
when one considers two distinct points which are gravitationally coupled, i.e., connected by a
geodesic arc.

The time rates of change in the vacuum energy density at these two spacetime points differ by an
amount related to the differential severity of gravitational time dilation (relative to some arbitrary
3rd point in spacetime) and so there is a variation in the time rate of change of vacuum energy
density as one moves along the geodesic arc connecting these two points. We believe that the role
of the curvature tensor within general relativity is to fix the relationship of the metric and
momentum-energy tensors with respect to the condition of spacetime at the arbitrary point within
it where the observer is located. Are two gravitationally coupled points within spacetime linked
by a geodesic arc of the spacetime, or are they linked by an arc length of null spacetime interval,
where ds = 0? If a spin 0 particle decays into two spin 1/2 particles of opposite sign (so as to
conserve spin quantum number ), and the two spin 1/2 particles become separated by a great
distance such that when a quantum spin measurement is performed upon one of the two particles,
the wavefunction which describes both particles "collapses" so that the spin orientation of the
unmeasured particle must instantly become opposite to that of the spin orientation observed in the
measurement of the former spin 1/2 particle. This EPR (Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen) type
gedanken experiment, performed within a curved spacetime raises an interesting question
concerning the wavefunction which describes the two particles, as this wavefunction takes two
different forms at two points along any segment of a curved spacetime. If the communication
between the two spin 1/2 particles is nonlocal and hence "instantaneous," then the wavefunction
experiences a discontinous change at the point in spacetime occupied by the second particle, i.e.,
the wavefunction as expressed within spacetime B is instantaneously expressed in terms of the
nonlocally connected spacetime A, where measurement of the spin of the first particle was
performed; in this way the spins of the two particles would add to zero, resulting in spin remaining
a "good" quantum number. However, the only way to avoid the appearance of discontinuity (of
the wavefunction) , in this case, is to postulate the existence of a physical description which is
more fundamental than the wavefunction itself so that the wavefunction becomes but the
projection, within a given local spacetime, of the more fundamental physical description. which
itself remains continuous.

June 1997
If such a more fundamental description of the quantum mechanical system exists, then why
is the reduction of the wavepacket or collapse of the wavefunction itself necessarily accompanied
by a discontinuous change in the probabilities for observation/measurement of physical
observables? We might rather assume for consistency's sake (that of QM) that the wavefunction
describing the particle pair must undergo a "self-collapse" when some critical separation of the
particles is reached - a separation at which the difference in the representation of the pair, in terms
of its wavefunction expressed within the local spacetimes of either particle of the pair, has reached
some critical value. This critical value would, according to Penrose, be related to the
mass-energy difference of the spacetimes in which each particle is embedded. Perhaps as long as
this mass-energy difference is less than the most energetic massless particle which can be defined
within a self-consistent theory of quantum gravity, say, the mass-energy of a Planck particle of
some 10-8g, there is no necessity that the wavefunction describing the particle pair undergo what
Penrose terms "Objective Reduction," (OR), because, perhaps, the energy difference up to this
critical value of mass-energy can be compensated through the exchange of a massless quantum
(boson), i.e., through exchange of a virtual particle representing a vacuum 3-momentum
fluctuation. Another possible explanation of the objective reduction of the pair's wavefunction is
related to the overall energy uncertainty of the component of the quantum vacuum of both
particles. This is to suggest that when the difference in mass-energy of the local spacetimes of
both particles exceeds the energy uncertainty of the nonlocally connected component of the local
vacua of the particles, objective reduction of the pair's wavefunction must take place - for
otherwise, the mass-energy difference in the local spacetimes of the particles has outstripped the
nonlocally-connected vacuum's ability to compensate the disparity in the local spacetime
representations of the pair's wavefunction in the spacetimes of each particle, resulting in the
incommensurability of the quantum numbers of each particle should a reduction of the pair's
wavefunction take place after this critical difference in spacetimes has been reached - as a result of
the spatial separation of the particles. What has been said thus far suggests that quantum
entanglement, i.e., nonlocal connectivity, of particles or fields within significantly differing local
spacetimes may not be admissible in a consistent theory of quantum gravity. This, in turn,
suggests that nonlocal vacuum process may not actually be responsible for the maintaining of
particular spacetime geometries or that, there is some rather small limit to the differences in local
spacetime curvatures within an overall nonlocally connected vacuum. We must investigate the
possibility that the temporality, i.e., the rate of time's passage relative to cosmic time, of a local
spacetime is directly related to the nonlocal connection of the local vacuum of this spacetime to the
nonlocally-connected vacuum of the universe at its largest scale.


The result of this maneuver, however, is that quantum mechanics could no longer be viewed as a
"complete theory," since the wavefunction would no longer constitute a complete description, in
general, of a quantum mechanical system.

On the other hand, if the expression of the wavefunction remains in terms of its own local
spacetime, then there is no unique wavefunction which describes both particles prior to a
measurement being performed on one of the particles, so that the spins of the two particles would
not necessarily add to zero after a spin measurement is performed, with the result that spin would
not be a "good" quantum number within a curved spacetime. In such as case, the general
invariance of physical law within the theory of relativity would be violated. According to the
physicist David Bohm, in his book, The Special Theory of Relativity, the latent energy, E = mc2,
which any particle of mass, m, possesses, exists by virtue of internal motions, which may be
thought of as taking place within the particle, or alternately defining the existence of the particle,
and that the conversion of mass into energy, and vice versa, consists merely in converting the
circular internal motions of a number of mass(ive/less) virtual particles into a set of linear external
motions of a number of massless real particles, and then converting them back again into the
original set of circular internal motions. It is as though one were to take a tiny particle in rapid
linear motion, bend or divert this motion so that it assumed the form of a rapid circular motion, so
that the particle now possessed the appearance of a ring, and then utilize a portion of this circular
motion to set the ring rotating so rapidly that the ring now took on the appearance of a solid sphere,
most of which, to be sure, would be composed of empty space, but which would possess a great
deal of energy by virtue of the two perpendicular internal circular motions which, in conjunction
with one another, defined the sphere's existence, and then to proceed to undo, or reverse this series
of operations, retrieving the original linear motion with which one started. We know, of course,
that this simple analogy of the "kinetic sphere" is rather naive, and that it is only intended as a basic
model of the interconnected meshwork of virtual particle reactions, which defines the existence of
any real particle. The important point here is that there is an exact parallel between this internal
circular motion and the linear motion of massive particles along the imaginary axis of our
cosmological model of the hypersurface which is expanding at the speed of light, or rather, of the
hyperspherical potential energy barrier through which all massive particles are presently in the
process of quantum mechanically tunneling, at approximately the speed of light. To explore
this parallel, we need to make a relatively simple observation about the relationship of the internal
circular motions to the external linear motions into which they are converted whenever mass is
converted into energy. We notice from the example of the "kinetic sphere," that it only required
two independent (orthogonal) internal motions in order to define the existence of this 3
dimensional object. We imagine that this conversion of these two circular, orthogonal "internal"
motions will result in the creation of two linear, orthogonal "external" motions.

We believe this conversion process is described by an isomorphic group operation, such that the
number of dimensions of motion is conserved, while the orthogonality of the motions is retained,
because the conversion of energy into mass, the reverse of this operation, is accomplished through
a continuous series of simple Lorenz transformations, i.e., through the relativistic mass-velocity
relationship of Einstein, and because we know that the conversion of energy into mass is a
reversible (symmetrical) operation so that the conversion of mass into energy can be described in
terms of a linear matrix operation; i.e., it is group-theoretic in nature. But we know that the
direct conversion of mass into energy produces an out-rush, if you will, of released energy which
streams outward in 3 spatial dimensions. This obvious empirical fact seems to require that there
be 3 independent orthogonal, circular, internal motions which underlie the latent energy of
massive bodies, and this implies that massive bodies which possess this latent energy, E = mc2,
must be, either themselves, 3 dimensional hypersurfaces binding a 4 dimensional hypervolume,
such that the mass possesses three independent degrees of freedom, or that they must possess two
circular (orthogonal) internal motions, defining two dimensional surfaces binding 3 dimensional
volumes constituting the massive particles, and that the third orthogonal internal degree of
freedom is that associated with the linear motion of these 3 dimensional objects which occupy a 3
dimensional hypersurface which is expanding within four spatial dimensions at the speed of light.
There seems to be a problem, however, in associating all of the latent energy of motion, E = mc2,
with the linear degree of freedom associated with the cosmological expansion, simply because it
means ignoring the contributions from the two other internal degrees of freedom, corresponding to
the internal motions of massive bodies. If, however, we assume an equipartation of energy
between the energy magnitudes associated with all three degrees of freedom, and this seems
reasonable because the Lorenz transformation of special relativity represents a symmetrical
operation, then the energy, mc2, which is needed to rotate the pure imaginary linear momentum by
90o, to convert it into a pure real momentum, is provided by the two energies, 1/2mc2 and
1/2mc2, respectively, associated with the two circular internal degrees of freedom. In this way,
the two energies, 1/2mc2, combined with the negative kinetic energy, -1/2mc2, of massive
particles, tunneling through the hyperspherical potential energy barrier, yields the new energy,
+1/2mc2, associated with the pure real momentum of outstreaming massless particles which
results from the total conversion of a real massive body into energy.

We now see that the energy of massive bodies, mc
2
, may be thought of as stemming, alone, from
the internal motions defining these bodies, which is released whenever these circular internal
motions, i.e., the energy circulating within the feedback loops of the virtual particle reactions
composing the massive bodies, is "deflected" into the linear motion of real massless particles. An
additional bonus from these considerations is that it is now possible to see that the distinction
between virtual and real particles is not a fundamental one. Mass, on this view, is simply a
function of the topological structure of the virtual particle reactions which occur everywhere
within the quantum mechanical vacuum on account of a fundamental energy uncertainty of the
vacuum state which, in turn, stems from the fact that the Hamiltonian of the vacuum is, itself, a
function of the "incompatible" observables, position and momentum. Moreover, the massless
force-carrying particles, i.e., bosons, which are the end product of any total conversion of matter
into energy, exist solely by virtue of their interaction with the vacuum state, and in no way depend
upon, or are defined by, any self-interaction. Consequently, these massless bosons, e.g., photons,
can be considered to be virtual particles even though are capable of being observed. In other
words, the mass which a given volume of space possess is merely a function of the imbalance in
the ratio of the volume's self-interaction to its, if you will, not-self-interaction: in free space,
where no matter is present, the flux density of energy exchange between the interior of an arbitrary
volume with itself and the flux density of energy exchange between the interior of this volume and
its exterior, is delicately balanced. It is the alteration of this balance in favor of greater
self-energy exchanges, which engenders the phenomenon of mass. The self-energy exchanges
correspond to the energies of circular internal motion, discussed earlier, which we invoked as a
simplistic model of the interconnected meshwork of virtual particle reaction paths defining the
existence of massive bodies. There is a very convenient mathematical description of this
self-energy and so-called not-self-energy exchanges; these are, respectively: the energy density
and the pressure of the vacuum. This balance of external and internal vacuum energy exchanges
is exact, indicating the condition of free space, obtains, therefore, when the pressure and energy
density of the vacuum are equal, and it is on this condition that the speed of light has its maximum
local value, as seen from application of Mach's formula for the speed of pressure wave oscillations
within a material medium. There is no reason why we may not apply Mach's formula in this case
because the only essential difference between the propagation of pressure oscillations in a material
medium such as the Earth's atmosphere and such oscillations in the vacuum is that of Lorenz
invariance, i.e., the value of the speed of sound within a material medium is dependent on the state
of motion of the observer performing the velocity measurement, while the velocity of "sound,"
i.e., light, within the vacuum is itself independent of the state of motion of the observer within this
vacuum.

Another way to point up this difference between the vacuum and an ordinary material medium is to
note that the particles within the vacuum, being virtual particles, do not possess a continuous
existence with time and so cannot be chosen as the origin of an absolute frame of reference within
which the velocity of pressure oscillations of the vacuum might be measured relative to an
observer's state of motion. An ordinary material medium such as the atmosphere is composed of
particles which possess a continuous existence and so an absolute frame of reference may be
established within this medium by which the velocity of pressure oscillations of the medium may
be measured which is then dependent upon the state of motion of the observer.

The ict axis of Minkowski four-dimensional spacetime, may be understood not to represent a
physically real 4th dimension, in an analogous sense to the other three familiar spatial dimensions,
but that it merely functions as an abstraction within the formalism of special relativity to model
conservation laws, e.g., energy, momentum, etc., and the linear transformation law connecting
inertial reference frames (the Lorenz transformation) which, in turn, govern the general
relationship of the internal and external motions of real/virtual mass and field energy within a
universe of three spatial dimensions and one time dimension. Perhaps now it is easy to see why it
is not necessary to underpin the mathematical structure of special relativity with a physically real
4th dimension. It is perhaps possible to remain consistent with Einstein's and Minkowski's view
of time as being associated with what is merely an abstract (not physically real) dimension. If the
Universe is not, in fact, and expanding 4-dimensional hypersphere, then the Hubble
distance-velocity relationship for galactic recession requires the existence of a repulsive
cosmological force field whose force increases linearly with galactic separation. The gradient of
the hyperspherical potential, postulated earlier to explain, in part, the imaginary coefficient of the
ict axis, would itself then have to be interpreted as a manifestation of the negative
time-rate-of-change in the energy density of the quantum mechanical vacuum which occurs due to
the global cosmological expansion. Moreover, the continuous series of local Lorenz
transformations which may be thought to connect two non-inertial reference frames (centered
about two points in space of differing gravitational potential) would be understood in terms of a
continuous tensor transformation of the four independent components of spatiotemporal variation
in vacuum energy density, i.e., the gravitational energy gradient (spatial variation in vacuum
energy density) in conjunction with the temporal variation of vacuum energy density, connecting
the two non-inertial frames of reference.

The equivalence between spatiotemporal variations in vacuum energy density and variations in
spacetime curvature may be more simply grasped by examining two different expressions of the
Heisenberg uncertainty principle within curved spacetimes. These two expressions are:

^E^t > h and ^p^x > h.

We know that within a curved spacetime, say, in the vicinity of a massive spherical body, there is a
general relativistic length contraction along the spherical body's radial direction while at the same
time there is relativistic dilation of time. If we are considering virtual particles, then the > sign
appearing in the two formulas, above, may be replaced by an = sign so that a dilation and a
contraction in the variables, ^t and ^x, respectively, must be coupled with an inversely
proportional shrinkage and dilation in the dual variables, ^E and ^p, respectively. In this way, the
energy of the vacuum decreases as one moves into regions of increasing gravitational potential
while the momentum of the vacuum, if you will, increases along this direction. If the vacuum
momentum is correctly described by a four-vector of conserved magnitude, then the vacuum
momentum may only increase with increasing strength of local gravitational potential at the
expense of a compensating decrease in the vacuum's momentum along an orthogonal direction. It
is the decrease in the vacuum's momentum in the direction orthogonal to the radius of our spherical
massive body with which we must associate the decrease in the vacuum's energy along the body's
radial direction. So we obtain what perhaps appears to be a trivial result: the momentum of the
vacuum along a certain direction may only be increased by utilizing the energy of the vacuum
itself associated with its momentum in directions orthogonal to the direction of increasing
momentum, so that local mass distributions do not, themselves, provide the energy required to
support the existence of a local gravitational field; the effect of mass is merely to redirect the
vacuum momentum, utilizing the locally available energy of the vacuum itself; to put this in the
language of Einstein: mass does not produce spacetime curvature, it locally alters the global
curvature of spacetime. This may all seem like an exercise in splitting hairs, but there is an
important difference in these two interpretations in the relationship of mass to spacetime
curvature: if mass, or what amounts to mass, alone, is responsible for the existence of spacetime
curvature, then an "empty" universe may not possess a globally curved spacetime. On the other
hand, if mass merely locally alters the background spacetime curvature, then there is nothing to
prevent the existence of so-called empty, curved spacetimes.

It is not correct to say that energy and information are interdefinable so that if energy is a
conserved quantity, then information is also a conserved quantity. A simple counterexample
suffices here. It is possible for transitions to occur, within a gas, say, where both the entropy and
the energy of the gas are conserved, even though the different configurations between which the
transitions occur may be thought of as representing different quantities of information so that
information is not itself conserved. The notions of energy and entropy are separable from the
notion of information because the former are only definable with respect to a closed system of a
finite number of distinct state space configurations while the latter is always defined with respect
to something outside the system in which its coded configuration is defined. It is not possible for
one thing to represent another unless there be at least two distinct levels of description available to
the system within which the representation is to be constructed. If we waive the requirement of an
"external" observer who is to give different meanings to the different configurations, then
information and energy are not interdefinable.

Another reason for not equating the two, i.e., energy and information, is on account of the
existence of energy degeneracy. Since different wavefunctions may possess the same associated
energy eigenfunctions, it should be possible for a quantum mechanical system possessing energy
degeneracy to undergo arbitrary transitions from one degenerate eigenfunction to another without
the changes be associated with changes in any definable QM observables.

I have found that under certain unusual sleeping condition such as the presence of bright lights,
chemical stimulants (caffeine or a nicotine patch), after having previously taken a standard dose of
melatonin, and especially after having returned to sleep just after being briefly awakened, that I am
able to experience dreams in which I become aware that I am, in fact, merely dreaming and that
none of what I am witnessing and doing is real but is something which I am manufacturing out of
my own consciousness, including myself as one of the participants in the action. But precisely
when this happens, when my consciousness of my role as creator of all I survey becomes total, the
events I am witnessing begin to lose their independent character and the whole scene begins to
quickly dissolve whereupon I immediately awaken. It is as though my simultaneous existence as
subject and object is outlawed as paradoxical, except in the partial sense of my being a mere
participating "character" in the unfolding action. This is perhaps because the "currents" which
power the dream become like the tributaries of a river whose flow must quell upon reaching the
level of the river's source; as long as the "self" which is creating the dream-phenomena (the source)
is "higher" than the "self" which participates in it on equal par with the other "participants" (the
tributaries) the action continues in a natural and uninterrupted manner. In the fleeting moments
of near total consciousness, before the dreamscape has had adequate time to disintegrate, it usually
occurs to me to try to do something, which is considered impossible in waking life. I may cause
various objects around me to leap into the air or explode or I might even move myself to hover in
the air and fly about. But usually there is barely time even to begin to try out my new "powers"
before I am forced to awaken. Overwhelmingly, such miraculous acts as these I freely perform in
the normal state of dreaming consciousness in which I have not the slightest clue that I am doing
anything extraordinary.

Jesus Christ informs us that were we to have a mustard seed's faith we would be able to hurl
mountains into the sea. As Christians we cannot help but take him at his word on this. Perhaps
here we are now able to glimpse a fundamental difference between certainty and what we call
faith. Usually Christians equate the two in some fashion, but confer with such common
exhortations as "You cannot be certain of this, but you must have faith." If ordinary parlance can
clarify the point I want to make it can also obscure: " I'm not as certain of this as you" vs. "He has
more faith than I." That is, we commonly speak both of degrees of certainty as well as degrees of
faith. Yet in the most literal sense faith is something which indeed admits of degree, certainty, on
the other hand, doesn't - you are either certain about something or you are not, in which case, you
are entertaining doubt. But if faith and certainty are different in the way I describe, then one
cannot have faith and have certainty at one and the same time. But we just said that if we are not
certain then we must in some way entertain doubt. Faith can exist in the face of doubt, but it takes
a faith, which is completely free from all doubt for us to budge mountains from their very
foundations. We cannot, of course, have certainty that any thing in particular shall come to pass
unless we have the type of assurance which only God himself provides in the form of Scripture or
Revelation. Can we distinguish Jesus and God the Father in the following manner: Jesus is the
incarnate, humble God; we might say that the Angels and ourselves witness his glory in Heaven,
but not experienced by Himself personally. God the Father is Himself not a humble Being having
never experienced the humiliation which Christ experienced for us on the Cross, but experiences
this Glory in an intimately personal way which we sill never be able to imagine; by meditating
upon it, however, we may learn to marvel at the mere idea of it. Jesus says that we must come to
him as little children. What this means is that our belief in Him is based on our faith and has
nothing to do with our intellects and so what we call certainty is not here the relevant quantity.
We should not therefore envy those who seem to possess intellectual certainty concerning their
Christian beliefs as still more clever arguments to the opposite side may be waiting just around the
corner. And one is in a Catch-22 situation here because if one possesses the headstrong pride to
resist the seductive and highbrowed attacks upon one's own intellectualized beliefs, then one holds
these beliefs for the wrong reasons. On the other hand, if one gives way to "superior" argument,
all is lost; if indeed anything worthwhile was risked in the first place. Faith can exist in the face of
the gravest of doubts, c.f., "Oh Lord, please give me faith now in my moment of doubt."

Intellectual certitude is toppled by even a slight suspicion. It is characterized by ignorance of the
subtler complications at still deeper levels and dismay is perhaps experienced when they are
suddenly uncovered, threatening what were thought to be pat arguments. However a Christian
who has tried his hand at intellectualizing his beliefs but who has now learned to base them on
faith, probably retains some respect for their intellectual dimension although he now trusts that the
hidden complications must ultimately work out in his favor. The Sophists of ancient Greece
enjoyed indulging in disputation and debate for its own sake alone and used to pride themselves for
being able to make the worse side of an argument seem the better one. Although these kind of
people are still around today, intellectual justifications need not even be attacked to lose their
quality of conviction as they have a natural half-life which is on the whole quite short; the newness
of discovering or inventing them must soon enough begin to wear off. The Christian beliefs
which they were thought to support are now weakened although the intellectual vanity which they
are really in service to merely goes on to still more subtler or fancier arguments. Christian
apologists must realize that part of what motivates them to put pen to paper is identical to that
which motivates any writer, that is, intellectual vanity and pride. It is an inevitable fact that if one
were ever to become conscious of not being a proud person one would at that very same time
become proud about it. If I work a miracle I do so in complete humility; as soon as I become
conscious of myself as the author of this great sign the conduit of my power becomes squelched.
The faith of the mustard seed which allows me to hurl the mountain is intimately connected with
my conviction that it is not myself which is the source of this terrific power, but God Himself.
This complete humility which is inextricably one with the faith necessary to perform miracles can
only exist if it is not conscious of itself. As we know a miracle involves the suspension of natural
law which normally prevents it. We also know that natural law can only be formulated
concerning objects or processes which are in principle reproducible as reproducibility depends in
turn upon what is called reducibility. This is why we refer to deterministic laws describing
reproducible phenomena as reductionistic. Reductionistic laws are "closed" form expressions of
physical relationships which is to say they are mathematical. "Closed" because the expression
contains in an abstract way everything that can possibly occur between the terms related to one
another by the expression - all that is needed are the initial and boundary conditions ; nothing is
able to come in from "outside," as it were, to disrupt or complicate the lattice-work of physical
relationships.

@$
And this is just the point. In interacting with a truly unique entity or system I am not able to
independently vary the circumstances in which I observe this system unless I am capable of
distinguishing what are the dependent from what are the independent variables and to succeed in
doing this I must be able to vary these experimental circumstances in a way which can be
disentangled from the resulting changes in the behavior of the system itself as opposed to the
conditions of the experimental setting. I can do this if the pervious state of the system is made not
to carry over and influence the experiment at a later time when the system is in its new state, c.f.,
au=
Rupert Sheldrake,
cit=
The Presence of the Past. Essentially this can only happen if the new
state of the system is just the state of some different but identical system so that these states
become decoupled from each other thus allowing that mutual relationships among the dependent
(internal) variables to be distinguished from the relationships of the dependent variables to the
independent (external) variables which can now in this way be manipulated independently. So
"closedness" and "openness" of a system are not merely convenient descriptive labels but quite
aptly describe genuine topological relations between the system variables. Should there exist
variables which can be varied independently but which we are not able to control, then usually this
is a symptom of over-complexity of the system which is best overcome by the defining of various
"random" variables which are then treated statistically. However, this leaves the possibility of
independent variables which are neither random nor which we are able to control. These would
be not definable or unknown variables and represent influences upon our system which issue from
some hidden region "outside" the space-time continuum. Naturally, such systems will not be
reductionistic and hence they are not reproducible but instead, are unique indeed. Every act
which issues from the Will of God is necessarily a mystery to all but Himself. But the difference
is that a good apologist knows how hopeless it is to completely subdue this monster and so exploits
it in the service of a lofty purpose: that of hopefully turning the intellectual vanity of others
against their unbelief for just long enough so that something of real convicting power might be
given its chance to work, which is to say, God's grace. By a natural extension of this analogy we
may easily illustrate the major difference between what might be termed the Eastern versus
Western view of God and Man as well as their relation to one another. The eastern view of this
relationship seems to be that secretly the dreamer himself and that even though the dream
eventually passes it is soon enough replaced by yet another where this special participant assumes
some other possibly quite different form and perhaps even recalls events and participants from
some previous dream.

Although reincarnation is usually associated with this kind of conception it is not really consistent
with the full-blooded Eastern view that the individual soul is just an illusion; if I am, on account of
this doctrine, not really different from you or anybody else for that matter, then neither am I any
more like one particular person who lived at any time in the past than I am from any of his millions
of contemporaries unless, of course, I secretly subscribe to the more or less theistic view that there
is, indeed, such a thing as an individual immortal soul. If I were to claim that I am the
reincarnation of Thales, the founder of Greek philosophy, then you may make the deduction from
this that I could not then be the reincarnation of Laotzsu, the founder of Taoism as he and Thales
were contemporaries; but then this in turn implies that the distinction between Thales and Laotzsu
cannot secretly be an illusion and this is contra hyp. Salvation for the Easterner is effected by the
shedding of this illusion of individuality; the paltry and minuscule particle of being returns to its
source which is Being itself. Here the Ego is identified with self-consciousness. On the
Western, theistic view, on the other hand, the Ego and the individual Soul are indeed two distinct
entities, the Ego being a false aggrandizement of one's true individuality (the Soul), alienating it
from the Divine Will and known as Sin which is Pride. Salvation for Christianity is effected by
the removal of Sin (Pride) with the result that the individual Will and the Divine Will become One.
We should consider in this connection the puzzling statement in the book of Ecclesiastes, that the
spirit returns to the Father who made it. (
August 2012
This is apparently without regard to the
ultimate fate of the soul). Another important distinction here is the manner in which Salvation is
effected. For the Easterner, Salvation can be achieved through the individual's own efforts,
through the practice of various types of self-discipline, and concerns itself not so much with
seeking a desirable state in the Afterlife as with the avoidance of suffering in an endless cycle of
Death and Rebirth to which one is confined through the influence of Karma.

However, the subjective cannot be analyzed in terms of
intersubjective categories; that is by definition, from which it follows that, 1 the subjective is not

the objective and subjective are truly disjoint, then how are they to be related together? Only by
being meaningfully related (please pardon all of the italical foot stomping; it is not intended to

Language is incapable of conveying actual substance, or content, but can only convey distinctions

and
auto-suggestibility (these go hand in hand, e.g., guru vs. initiate, mentor vs. protg, sleeping

is always a factor in the seeming immediacy of interpersonal

communication. The commonality of language and environment structure creates the illusion that
our perceptions of this environment are similar, if nonidentical to those of our neighbors. The
vagueness and confusion, if not the outright contradictory nature of, our conceptions and beliefs is
never fully revealed to the individual in the absence of problem-solving applications. The courtesy
and civility of strangers and acquaintances is frequently mistaken for genuine caring and regard for
oneself and one's interests. The continual appearance of so-called "coincidences," which make life
seem more intimately related to the individual than it is in reality, are largely artifacts of the
filtering of sensory/perceptual data in the light of recent learning, still reverberating within the
individual's subconscious. Altruism is an investment in the future caring and kindness extended
to oneself. (One assumes that investing in raising ones self-esteem based through the practicing
of generosity shall someday reap a dividend in the form of like generosity of others.) Originality
is frequently a combination of sloppy scholarship and an imperfect memory. Superstition is a
metaphorical, inductive generalization upon coincidentally connected events.

There may be a
necessity of making a further distinction between data and information in the light of recent
quantum entanglement and teleportation experiments and in light of Hawkings notion of
chronology protection. We perhaps need to distinguish between controllable, intentional
information and information merely as interpreted data. Thought experiments involving
quantum entanglement based communication between two or more quantum computers is what
suggests the need for this additional distinction. Since the gimmick of parallel universes is the
favorite mechanism of choice by science fiction writers for the obviating of time paradoxes, it
might be worth while to seek one or more of the essential components of chronology protection in
gedanken experiments connected with quantum superposition, specifically in the
observational/experimental logic pointed up by delayed choice, quantum nondemolition and
quantum eraser experiments. There are several distinct stages in any causal chain of events that
potentially lead to a time paradox where one could insert a no-go theorem in order to head off
its formation. An event horizon of a black hole is an example of chronology protection. This is
because the formation of a naked singularity, which is otherwise permitted would enable
backward timelike trajectories through spacetime. But causality is also violated by any freely
willed act. The causal paradoxes involved in free will are most likely buffered and defused
through the probabilistic quantum structure of spacetime, in particular the superposition principle
and the principle of the complemtarity of incompatible observables, i.e., the fact that these paired
observables are related through Fourier Series and inverse Fourier Series expansions. (
July 2012
Parallel multiverse selves act freely without engendering causal paradoxes this is a correlary to
the principle of chronology protection and what should be understood to be a kind of
defn=
containment principle.) Turning to the theory of the correlation-dissipation of fluctuations
in the vacuums energy within the finer interior structure of manifest Heisenberg energy
uncertainty, i.e., the hidden variables of quantum uncertainty we may profitably seek to define
each stage in the causal chain of a closed spacetime loop in its act of establishing itself where
nature could reliably and opporutunistically intervene. The development of a standing wave
structure within a superluminal signal wave packet allows us to make signal phase velocity
effectively dependent upon the wavepacket group velocity instead of vice versa (the usual case),
provided that the wavepacket is itself built up from the mutual interference of retarded and
advanced waves, which are in turn dependent upon the initial and boundary conditions. This
presupposes the notion that wavepackets, which travel with group velocity can be treated as phase
waves, c.f., signals propagating with imaginay momentum during quantum tunneling. But
this is subject to the special conditions for wavepacket lifetime in relation to the wavepackets
Heisenberg energy uncertainty, i.e., simply that /\E/\t >= h. The distinction between the
measurability of real particles and fields on the one hand and the immeasurability of virtual
particles and fields on the other (except in statistical terms) should be of service here. Again, at
each crucial step in the would be formation of a closed spacetime loop (which by the way seems to
necessarily invoke a topology of two-dimensional time), there should be opportunity for a
presumed chronology protection mechanism to intervene. Note that if causality is really
underpinned in higher dimensional time, i.e., 5d, 6d, etc. spacetime, then closed time loops in 4d
spacetime are no real threat to causality, but merely present the appearance of such to creatures not
possessing the perspectival advantage afforded by intersubjectively mediated theories of causality
within these higher spacetime dimensions.
@$
The final stage at which a chronology protection
mechanism could reasonably intervene, actually is composed of three distinct stages, namely the
following: that of the formation of the observers and experimenters ideas, that of the reliable
recording and that of rational application and implementation of these ideas. We would of course
like chronology protection to possess an underlying mechanism, but unfortunately,
mechanism by its very nature is essentially part of the general thing which a chronology
protection mechanism is there to protect. This suggests that the chronology protection
mechanism is to be sought within recursive structures, which would have to possess no
beginning in time (to exempt them from needing to be chronology protected) It is starting to
look like we shall be forced to seek chronology protection at some transhuman level, e.g.,
Lazslos Akashic Record, Hawkings Chronology Protection Agency, the big-headed alien
programmers outside the Ancestor Simulation, and so on. Because of the fundamental
limitations imposed upon automation, i.e., mechanism by Godels and Turings theorems, and
the suspected immunity of consciousness to the theoretical limitations imposed by these theorems
(probably because consciousness itself is the theory builder), we shall have to take our lead from
au=
Chomsky that, the most crucial step in the state censorship of ideas does not occur at the
printing press, i.e., the mechanism, but at the very root of the process for the operation of an
otherwise free press, that is, at the level of the formation of ideas, i.e., at the level of
consciousness. We may ultimately seek the master mechanism of chronology protection at the
highest possible level of correlation of quantum fluctuations in the sense of higher versus
lower information processing, or at the boundary between reducible and irreducible complexity
within the quantum vacuum, namely at the Planck energy.

What psychologists, philosophers, and theologians have referred to for millennia as
"conscious-ness" is something apart from any structures of thought which might "inhere" in it and
is apart from any particular sensory, perceptual, or conceptual modalities of this consciousness.
This is related to Hume's complaint that whenever he tried to perceive what is called the Self, he
only could seize upon some particular sensation or perception or other.

July 1997
The fundamental process by which the objects of perception are generally constituted
cannot itself, of course, ever be itself an object of perception. Stating this in quantum mechanical
terms, quantum observables cannot constitute or be used to describe what consciousness is in its
essence, but are necessarily mere manifestations of consciousness. Now the quantum state of a
system is what creates the possibility of observables. Consciousness, therefore, must be
intimately associated with the creation of such quantum states, but not through the mere temporal
evolution of pre-existing quantum states. Consciousness must be ultimately mediated through
discontinuous changes in boundary conditions, the primary example of which is the instituting of
boundary conditions upon the fundamental quantum (vacuum) field from outside spacetime. This
is what essentially the process of informing means. The question is actually quite simple in
nature. Is consciousness a primordial aspect of existence, or is consciousness somehow derivative
of the information that is quantized out of the void of empty space? Does consciousness somehow
arise from the way information is coherently organized, or is its nature primordial, an aspect of the
existence of the void? Is the void the true nature of consciousness? It is possible to prove that
it is impossible for consciousness to arise from the way information is coherently organized, no
matter how complex that organization. If the only logical alternative is proven to be false, then in
effect we have proven the only true proposition, which is that the void is the nature of
consciousness.

example of the regretable taking of innocent human life. . . a heinous moral outrage in any

implies another notion, that of rational action, which the taking of innocent human life indeed
never is. In future, dear mass media, please withold the identity of the shooter, do not discuss his
supposed motives or agenda, do not interview his former girlfriend, classmates, family members,
do not publish his suicide note, direct viewers/listeners to his Facebook, Twitter or Youtube page,
etc. Grieve for and lend support to the families of the survivors, but by all means allow the
grotesque and twisted soul of the shooter to anonymously return to the terrible void from which he
was unfortunately called forth, unbidden. (Posted via Facebook on the day of the Sandyhook
Elementary School mass shooting in Connecticut, USA)

And so, information, unlike energy, cannot be understood in terms of the operation of any
continuity equation. The action of consciousness is inherently discontinuous with respect to any
particular system of abstract forms. This type of action necessarily involves violation of any
conservation laws and so the action of consciousness is inherently asymmetrical and irreversible,
and, moreover its dynamic cannot be understood in terms of quantizable physical
parameters/variables. An operation, such as the searching of a memory cache, does not constitute
what is called thought, but is merely the seeking of thought for a connection which will merely
enable its manifestation or expression in terms of a representation which is not unique, as would be
appropriate to the operation of a code, and is always completed through a kind of open-ended
complementing of the cipher medium through the interpretive action of its ground. This
complementing is not logical, but translogical.

Consciousness, as understood by these thinkers, if it indeed "exists," as opposed to possessing
being, must be something forever prior to and underlying all these modalities or structurings of it.
Consciousness is not something which is merely common to all these, for if it is, it is something
which transcends individual experience since common to the experiences of any and all
possible/actual persons, but the most that one can possibly mean by the term "consciousness" is
one's own individual consciousness. The only way we can actually possess a genuine intuition of
consciousness is if the distinction between different individual consciousnesses is merely like the
distinction between a given individual's consciousness at various particular times within that
individual's biography but with the merely incidental difference that the structurings/ modalities of
one individual consciousness are not cross-referenced to those of another individual by virtue of a
more general modality which includes them - itself less general than consciousness at large.

It is not that a paradigm shift or Copernican revolution, i.e., where Man is pushed
once again, precipitously (the wind from my fan just now pushed the sticky note off of my web
cam lens as I was writing precipit I had placed it there about eight hours before) away from his
center (in the Biblical Garden) and something we know not what is pushed toward the center, is
signaled by a contradicting of reason, but by merely the appearance and current understanding (of
the appearances) which is evaluated in terms of a transcending of reason. Reason, like
consciousness then is something that we never actually have ever caught hold of, ever only having
possessed a metaphor masquerading as a concept, and yet somehow we find ourselves with a
concept of it. Triviality as in mathematics sometimes is ony itself an appearance that masks the
profound and mysterious. Just as in the question of the topology of the real line there is an
infrastructural context gracing things ab initio as it were. Of course, this line of critical reasoning
is very question-begging in nature, considering that we are presupposing some kind of distinction
between concept and metaphor and we have secretly questioned the very possibility of there being
concepts at all only metaphors. This is similar to the self-thwarting metaphysical assertion that
reality is just a dream or I have only ever known my own sense data or psychological states. The
word, psychology for instance presupposes not merely an umbra of context, but also a
penumbra, that is, a kind of meta-context, c.f., my playful text messages to Ziad on the afternoon
of February 6, 2013. Wittgenstein would berate us here for trying to get language to do more
work than it has the capacity for (which is his general critique by the way). One must wonder

Cantor's diagonal argument depends on the notion of 'infinitely longer' in order to prove the

to define the concept of 'infinitely longer'. There are indeed higher orders of infinity but this is not

It should be obvious that the observer selection effect does not fine tune for a particular observer,
but rather fine tunes for an admittedly highly constrained class of individuals into which the
selected observer fits.

If a system is fine-tuned so that it selects for an entity possessing an internal principle of unity,
coherence and integration, then we would expect there to be a similarly unifying, integrative
principle at work within the dynamics of *that* system.

'If a system exhibits fine tuning such that it selects for an entity possessing an internal principle of
unity, coherence and integration, then shouldn't there be a similarly unifying, integrative principle
at work within the dynamics of the system that gave rise to that entity?' This begs the question:
'what is meant by 'internal' here?'

How do we reconcile egalitarian copresence of 'me-like' selves with the competitive fine tuning of
universes individually and anthropically selected for?

Is it inevitable or at least overwhelmingly likely that 'me-like' selves have evolved on me-like

We need to look at things in a less metaphorical and more and a more abstract manner.

For random changes to be meaningful and functional, there must be a pre-existing framework of

Investigate the problem of how the multiverse and anthropic reasoning doesn't really allow
us to sidestep the other problem of fine tuning and intelligent design. The difference between
accidental fine tuning such as the case of the multiverse and intentional or intelligent fine tuning is
that in the case of intelligent fine tuning there is a dynamic underlying which necessarily involves
continual adjustment that is ongoing rather than merely ab initio. So there is a very real and
qualitative difference between intentional and accidental fine tuning which should be detectable
by observation and experiment say of dynamical quantum processes in the vacuum.
If we cannot logically disprove a proposition to which our opponent is emotionally attached it is
not enough to merely demonstrate that there is no logical or experimental or observational ground
in favor of the proposition. One must go on to deconstruct the discourse and narrative behind the
position of one's opponent.

To help us more fully understand the relevant connection between the philosophical problems of
the other minds and the theological problem of the being in existence of God we must first pose the
question what is the relationship between the question of other universes the existence or
nonexistence of God. The problem of other minds and the problem of other universes are at a
deeper level really wanted the same that is in the absence ultimate context and backdrop
transcendent Universal Mind itself possessing a true concept of consciousness such that each
individual particular mind is but an instantiation of consciousness as such.

It is said that without context there is no meaning but this question is still more complex because
we have to talk about meaning for whom which bespeaks the possibility of multiple and perhaps
altogether disjoint contexts. Topology is of course an important consideration here.

The inbetweenness which lies between universes is one and the same with that which is given prior
to the beginning.

Empedocles' paradox concerning reasoning and determinism is related to John Searle's notion of
the closed system, intentionality and hard artificial intelligence.

Duration or emergent time as opposed to deterministic time seems to require continual input from
outside the time line.
In the same with the quantum computing which is intrinsically parallel in its structure can reduce
linear time to log a rhythmic time such that anything that normally would take a bath to mail when
your time can be accomplished in a much shorter. Of water with the time similar to this, we don't
need an infinite amount time for any and all possibilities to be realized because of the quantum
nature of the vacuum is the underlying infrastructure of all structure and function within space and
time. Isn't it time Justin abstraction just a projection from within finite spacetime and does this
concept fall into the same category as things like the Soul free will and consciousness for which we
have no self-consistent abstract category or concept? So the totality of possibilities can only be
realized within a structure of multiple finite space-time manifolds. No fun night set of possibilities
over large can be defined against the backdrop of an infinite spacetime. One wonders then what is
infinite spacetime for other than an abstract category for purposes of argumentation and analogy
making or illustration. Unlimited symbiosis must fulfill the role of the possibilities grounded by I
supposed infinite space time.

A new variety of solipsism has reared its head with the advent of the latest cosmological theories
concerning the anthropic principle, Boltzmann brains, the multiverse, cosmological fine tuning
and so on. This new version of solipsism invokes the notion of the fine-tuning of consciousness
along the same lines as the anthropic cosmological fine tuning with which one is already familiar.
In this version of solipsism, other minds do exist but they did not exist within the same universe
within the multiverse as does one's own mind. In this particular case, a concept of consciousness
which underlies the possibility of the existence of other minds would only be possible if there was
some transcendent or Universal Mind which could bridge the gap between universes within the
multiverse as the basis of the inter-subjective subjectivity, which is absolutely required by a
self-consistent notion of a plurality of subjective individual consciousnesss. Consequently, a valid
concept of consciousness with presuppose that consciousness and its operation and function
transcends the physical laws of this particular universe as embodied in the particular exact values
of fundamental physical constants which had to be fine-tuned to produce this particular universe
that gave rise to this particular individual consciousness, namely me. We say this because the
infrastructure for the fine-tuning of physical constants for distinct universes within the multiverse
must exist within the multiverse itself and is not accessible within any given particular universe
within such a multiverse.

Unity of space and time with its implication of a concept of unified spacetime places space and
time on an equivalent footing. One possible implication of the concept of spacetime might be the
following: if there is nothing after (time), then there is nothing outside (space).

Is there any significant difference in the philosophical implications of the fact of our all meeting in
an afterlife vs. us all having met in this life?

The requirements of cosmological fine tuning are far greater for mammakuan species than for
bacterial species. It is clear that the requirements for fine-tuning physical constants and other
cosmological conditions becomes more inexact and less demanding as one considers ever simpler
forms of life.

The case of there being a single consciousnesses or a 'consciousness -as-such' which is merely
structured in myriad distinct ways representing different structures of self-consciousness where
each is not substantially distinct, i e., multiple self consciousness in which each is grounded in a
non-unique consciousness qua medium of egoic experience. With regard to the appearances,
these two cases are not in any way distinguishable. That is, given the absence of an over arching
cosmic, transcendental consciousness.

April 1997
In other words, if consciousness possesses being as a particular among particulars, it may
only possess an objective meaning if it possess an intersubjective meaning. But according to
what has just been observed, various self-consciousnesses must be merely different structurings of
a single consciousness and so consciousness therefore must have a being which transcends any
particularity, any particular form of itself. Consciousness as such is therefore nondual,
transcendent of Form and so must be constituted from beyond the "field of time." Consciousness
is constituted within Eternity and so qualifies as the ground of existence. This is pure
Consciousness.

It is just that the many different structurings of consciousness at large do not completely cohere,
but form numerous relatively disjoint domains marking the different individual consciousnesses.
Consciousness as such, on this view, cannot be understood by an individual conscious which is
merely a transitory, finite structuring of this fundamental consciousness. Here again, we see our
principle of the inability of the stream ( the individual's stream of consciousness, in this case ) to
rise to the level of its source ( consciousness at large). It will not be possible for computer science
or brain physiology or whatever to come to an adequate theoretical understanding of the process
which gives a particular individual the gift (or curse) of the individual consciousness that he
happens to possess unless any of these sciences can somehow ground the explanation of his mental
processes in the consciousness originating utterly from outside him qua individual. One must, in
other words, first understand consciousness as such before moving on to an explanation of the
individual's own particular consciousness. But this means that science will not be able to arrive at
a general theory of consciousness through induction from individual cases. So application of the
scientific method is barred from treating the problem of consciousness as such. Nothing that the
individual is capable of perceiving could count for the essential feature which makes both his
consciousness and that of the other examples of consciousness as such. Suchness is inherently
transcendental. Negative Karma is the result of the individual's choices made in previous
lifetimes while the equivalent to this in Christianity is Sin which is inherited by all human beings at
birth and cannot be overcome through the individual's efforts alone but only through the active
intervention of God himself in His immanent form as Jesus Christ. Although in a historical sense
the person of Jesus is the incarnation of God the Father in human form, in no way does He become
absorbed or lose His identity upon being assume into Heaven but is Himself unique and eternally
part of the Divine Trinity. We know that the individual soul does not return to the great Ocean of
Being at each interval between incarnations as the identity of the individual is utterly blotted out
whenever this occurs.

After the fashion of the main character from the British comedy
The Black Adder there remains the ever present possibility that one should
@$
arise again anew
from the turbulence endlessly generated by the tension within the interface of existence and being,
i.e., whatever the original sufficient reason may have been that originally brought one forth from
the void, should do so again, in fact, an unlimited number of times and this despite the necessity of
metaphysical work having been performed during each incarnation.

Otherwise there would be no definite guarantee that one's eventual escape from the Wheel of Life,
through Spiritual Enlightenment, would be indeed a permanent one since obviously whatever
process started the chain of incarnation in the first place might well again give rise to one's very
self-same soul, as it would customarily do between each incarnation, reinitiating the whole
process; if one insists that the original process is unique and hence unrepeatable, then one is
implying that each person's individual identity is really unique and therefore not in the least
illusory and furthermore that neither is our separation from the Godhead an illusion, but the very
real and potentially alarming circumstance of our Earthly existence.

Again, laws are
abstractions that relate classes of individuals and not the individuals themselves. Following
Russell, physical laws are mere descriptions of how nature in fact behaves and hence carry nothing
in the sense of a governing force. Physical law artifacts such as curved spacetime and
wavefunction are perhaps nothing more than scientific metaphors and far from being bona fide
metaphysical entities they are the user friendly front end for accessing a back end that is
indeed very remote from the potential tinkering of simulated beings. In software architecture there
may be many layers between the hardware and end user. Each can be spoken of as having a front
end and a back end. The front is an abstraction, simplifying the underlying component by
providing a user-friendly interface.

January 2013 cit=
In software design, the model-view-controller architecture for example, provides
front and back ends for the database, the user, and the data processing components. The separation
of software systems into front and back ends simplifies development and separates maintenance. A
rule of thumb is that the front (or "client") side is anything you can see when you view the code
source of the page (when you are on the client side, i.e. not on the server.) To view the server-side
(or "back-end") code, you must be on the server. The confusion arises when you have to make
front-end edits to server-side files. Most HTML designers, for instance, don't need to be on the
server when they are developing the HTML; conversely, the server-side engineers are, by
definition, never on anything but a server. It takes both, to be sure, to ultimately make a
functioning, interactive website.

Leibniz writes in 1714, "Moreover, it must be avowed that perception and what
depends upon it cannot possibly be explained by mechanical reasons, that is, by figure and
movement. Supposing that there be a machine, the structure of which produced thinking, feeling,
and perceiving; imagine this machine enlarged but preserving the same proportions, so that you
might enter it as if it were a mill. This being supposed, you might enter its inside; but what would
you observe there? Nothing but parts which push and move each other, and never anything that
could explain perception." The philosopher David Cole argues to disarm Leibniz' "mill"
argument in the following way, "Blow up a tiny drop of water until it is the size of a mill. Now
the H
2
O molecules are as big as the plastic models of H
2
O molecules in a chemistry class. You
could walk through the water droplet and never see anything wet." Cole's point is that we all
know that an individual water molecule is "wet" and so our inability to see its wetness from the
inside, as it were, doesn't prove that its not really wet; similarly, a machine might be conscious
even though this consciousness is invisible from every perspective - except the machine's, of
course. There are a number of serious objections to Cole's refutation of Leibniz' mill argument.
Firstly, it is doubtful whether the property of wetness may be attributed to a single water molecule
in the first place because wetness can be seen to be an essentially collective phenomenon. The
following example will serve to explain. In the modern version of Robert Millikan's oildrop
experiment, wherein he demonstrated that the charge of the electron was quantized, oildrops,
being somewhat messy and inconvenient, have today been replaced by tiny silicon spheres.
These little spheres are so diminutive (about .001 millimeters in diam.) that they are not visible to
the naked eye, nor are they palpable in the hand, unless there are quite a large number of them
assembled together, in which case they "coalesce" together to form a little pool in the palm. This
pool is indistinguishable from one made of water except that there is a slight difference in the
perceived viscosity of the "fluid" which seems a little on the cloudy side. The point here is that
this collection of tiny spheres feels wet; and there is no question whatever that a tiny sphere of
silicon, blown up to the size of one of Cole's overgrown H
2
O molecules, simply could not possess
the property or quality of wetness.

But what is all this thought to prove? Well, in Cole's case, a person hearing his argument
experiences a contradiction of sorts between his expectation that size (which is owing to external
perspective) shouldn't make any difference in the wetness (intrinsic property) of a water molecule,
and his vague, visually based intuition that "if I can see the damned parts of the thing, then, well,
how can it really be wet?" In the case of the tiny spheres of the "oildrop" experiment, we know
that wetness is an emergent collective property which depends upon our not being able to
distinguish the individual spheres, either visually or in tactile manner. But the reader should not
think that I have simply done Cole's argument one better; for a quality which arises in perception
strictly through our inability to perceive what is part of the object "out there" cannot be thought to
be a quality of the object itself, but is supplied by the perceiving mind. But there is an even more
serious objection to Cole here. A hypothetical set of conditions, relating to mere appearance,
cannot be of any support to an argument if the would-be physical state of affairs, to which the
appearance corresponds, is itself impossible - however clearly one "intuits" its possibility. This
observation is very much operative in the case of Cole's overgrown H
2
O molecule: to conceive of
the water molecule as increased in size by a factor of roughly 10 billion is equivalent to shrinking
Planck's constant by the square of this factor, or by a factor of about 100,000,000 trillions; this is
because the constant contains units of length squared.

But as any theoretical physicist will tell you, the energy uncertainty ( via Heisenbergs principle) is
proportional to this constant and this energy uncertainty is responsible for the fluctuations in
vacuum energy that "pump up" the electronic structure of all atoms. With the value of h so
diminished, all of the electrons within the H
2
O molecule will collapse into their respective nuclei,
making the water molecule's covalent bond structure, and so its intrinsic "wetness", flatly
impossible. Since all matter particles are created and sustained through the dynamical action of
the fluctuating vacuum energy, these particles exist merely as abstractions from the vacuum
structure, with the quantum vacuum providing the unified natural physical law for the cosmos, so
we might expect that all peculiar phenomena which emerge across the interface between the
microscopic and macroscopic domains (of Reality) are due to the fundamental vacuum dynamism;
and this goes for the emergence of "mind" within the developing human brain, as it has been found
that individual cortical neurons are capable of responding to the presence of vacuum
electromagnetic field fluctuations. But if a unified law of the vacuum exists, it must be of a
transcendental nature since the vacuum constitutes an open system; any statement of physical law
for such a vacuum must necessarily leave something out of its scope. This means that a so-called
physical law for the vacuum therefore, is always for the vacuum plus certain superimposed
boundary and initial conditions. Infinite perturbative levels of description of the vacuum's
Hamiltonian are possible. It is perhaps more than a strange coincidence that our inability to
distinguish, one from another, the discrete energy states of the H
2
O molecule, reflected in this
molecule's quantum energy uncertainty, is responsible for its quality of "wetness," just as in the
case of the tiny silicon spheres, which, through our ignorance of their individuality, coalesced to
form a pool of wetness. To continue what may amount to the unfair importation of facts into a
philosophical discussion, we will continue in our vein of drawing lessons from quantum theory so
as to further examine the possibility of a "thinking machine." Another way of looking at Leibniz'
mill argument against a conscious computing device is in terms of the blueprint containing the
design from which the would-be computing device is constructed. We should ask ourselves this
important question, "How does a computing device, while it is engaged in the very act of
"thinking," constitute a better embodiment of mental activity than does the network of ink
scratches on paper which constitute its blueprint?" "Well," we might say, "the ink scratches are
just sitting there on the paper, they're not doing anything - still less could they be thinking!" You
see, somehow we have the intuition that something which is moving or undergoing change
possesses a better chance of having thought than something which isn't moving. Partly this is just
the influence of that residue of animistic thinking which we have inherited from our primitive
ancestors, but partly, again, it is, I believe, a case of our seeing, however vaguely, into the heart of
a problem which, it seems to us, involves an illusive peculiarity of consciousness' relation to time.
I am reminded here of Kants assertion that consciousness is the intuition of the passage of time!
Take-away?: there are at least as many dimensions of time as there are individual consciousnesses.

Now, if a computer can simulate the human thought process so well that the simulation becomes
the reality, then what is there, in principle, to prevent a human being, if only a particularly gifted
one, from simulating the functioning of a computing device - by simply being given a problem and
then tracing out with his eye the relevant wire and circuit element symbols on the blueprint so as to
produce the correct answer? Now such a hypothetical human being would not need to know how
to solve the problem posed to him, but he need only know how to read the circuit diagram
describing the computer whose functioning he is simulating. Now suppose that this talented
human were to simulate the computer's act of imagining a red sphere against a background of
sky-blue. To do this the human must read the right series, in the right sequence, of markings on
the computer's logic diagram; does it matter how fast the series is read off? - that is a question
which we will have cause to examine later. But if we postulate that consciousness is a necessary
component in the faculty of recognition - a faculty very much involved in the human's act of
reading a stream of symbols - then it appears we require consciousness (that of the human) to get
consciousness ( that of the computing device): even if the recognition required to read or
interpret the symbols of the circuit diagram doesn't itself require consciousness, it nevertheless
requires the utilization of circuitry (and plenty of it!) not described anywhere on the blueprint itself
because presumably this part of the computer's blueprint has to be read as well and so we're landed
in a viciously circular, infinite regress. But suppose, all the same, we tried to construct the
blueprint in this manner, representing at each progressively tinier level of calligraphic scale, the
details of the blueprint at one particular level, which were to provide the instructions for reading
the blueprint at the next higher scale. At some level along the downward spiraling hierarchy of
spatial scale we would be working, whether with micro-rapidograph or submicroscopic etching
tool, at a scale where the particle behavior of matter (as collections of independently existing
"things") gives way to its wavelike behavior. It is at this scale where the tiny subdiagrams which
we try to etch into the paper are subject to the seemingly random fluctuations of the vacuum
electromagnetic field energy so that the tiny etchings themselves fluctuate at this level.

It is clear that, however these sub-sub-etc. - diagram etchings fluctuate, they do it in a way which
still manages to capture the design of our computing device. It now appears that any attempt to
produce a static description of the computing system architecture, i.e., its blueprint, results in a
dynamic fluidity in the structure of the physical realization of this description at the level of scale
marking the approximate boundary between particle and wavelike behavior of matter.

The
ultimate context for the atomic scale circuitry of our proposed conscious computing device must
be the quantum vacuum electromagnetic field, itself the original source of Heisenberg
momentum-energy uncertainty. The vacuum fields provide the context for the computers
circuitry, which itself provides the initial and boundary conditions upon the vacuum fields
self-interaction. This circuitry acts passively to allow the vacuum to reprocess its own preexistent
quantum entanglements (containing preexistent quantum entanglement-encoded information).

Dear Greg,

Id like to share with you some thoughts Ive had since we last spoke in person concerning the
fundamental limitations of artificial intelligence, i.e., why computers cant think. One of which
that we can point to straight away as being necessary to the possession of consciousness in a
cybernetic system is memory. Memory is what makes James stream of consciousness the
Heraclitean river into which one cannot step twice.
au=
Henri Bergson has pointed out in his
book, Time and Free Will, that a genuine recurrence of a thought or feeling is impossible if it is
suffused with the memory of its having occurred at some earlier time this peculiarly
self-referential quality of the memory could not have formed part of the texture of the thought as it
originally occurred: if the same notion occurs to one at points in ones life widely separated in
time, the context will be significantly altered between each such occurrence so that this notion as it
appears in this new context must stand in a metaphorical relationship to itself in its originating
context that is, if the latter thought is to constitute the recollection of the former. Paradoxically
enough, if the second occurrence of an idea were really identical to what is was at its first
occurrence, then the example of having remembered something, since there could be no memory,
must be an abstract feature of an experiential field which is itself temporally integrated. The
process of the temporal integration of experience is a process which itself must occur in a time
sequence. We might ask the question, What is the purpose of experiential, i.e., phenomena
which formerly bodied forth within the consciousness stream, if they are never again recollected?,
or rather, never can again be recollected? How could these very experiential phenomena ever
have formed part of the consciousness-stream, itself essentially characterized by the unique
property of temporal integration or wholeness, if they are never referred to further on down the
stream? The answer, or something fundamentally akin to an answer to this question , must be
that all experience is in some sense remembered experience, that each and every experience which
one can point to as it bodies forth in the stream of individual consciousness contains within itself
densely-packed myriad references to analogues of itself in earlier incarnations. Conscious
experience itself, in other words, but makes its appearance within the stream as already temporally
integrated. Another theory is that there are myriad different but interacting selves connected
with the normal functioning of a human brain, each with its own information frequency
bandwidth, with the range of frequencies peculiar to each being associated with its own scale of
temporal integralness or wholeness. One of the major functions of the faculty of attention may
be the switching of consciousness between different bandwidths associated with distinct
experiential temporal scales.

The brain stimulation experiments of Libet in which the
cortical area of the hand must be electrically stimulated for 500 ms before development of a
primary evoked potential (EP) associated with conscious perception of stimulation of the hand can
be perceived by the subject, combined with the fact that stimulation of the hand several hundred
milliseconds after cortical stimulation of the corresponding area had already begun was always
perceived as occurring hundreds of milliseconds earlier than direct cortical stimulation. This
fact was interpreted by Libet as meaning that an approximately 500 ms time delay or time buffer
was needed in order to effect necessary temporal integration of conscious sense-perception.
@$
Also, the backwards-in-time referral of the stimulation event by up to 500 ms is a phenomenon
(one might say epiphenomenon) of this temporal integration as well as being tangible proof of the
temporal multidimensionality of conscious experience and the subjective, projective nature of the
perceived unidirectionality of so-called objective time. Along the lines of the Boltzmann Brain
idea, the quantum vacuum is supposed to possess a latent recursive structure, one that includes not
only perceptions and memories of experiences, but also memories of memories of experiences,
etc.
July 2012
If one has an equilibrium state that lasts an infinite time, fluctuations around
equilibrium can lead to any state whatever popping out of the vacuum just as a statistical
fluctuation, with emergence of a local arrow of time. This leads to Poincares Eternal return (any
state whatever that has occurred will eventually recur) and the Boltzmann Brain scenario: you can
explain the existence of Boltzmann brains not as a result of evolution, but just as an eventual
inevitable result of statistical fluctuations, that is, if an infinite amount of time is available
([12]:201-227), c.f., http://www.mth.uct.ac.za/~ellis/Quantum_arrowoftime_gfre.pdf

Large bandwidths associated with large information frequency ranges would be in turn associated
with large integral time scales in which richer, more meaningful and nuanced experiences would
be possible than on smaller time scales.

The commonsensical way of comparing these different scales experientially is in terms of the
concept of retentive memory. A new anti-anxiety drug much used in dental offices and perhaps
more popular among both dentists and their patients than the old standby, i.e., laughing gas is the
drug Ativan. Ativan succeeds as an anti-anxiety agent due to its peculiar property of contracting
the anxious patients retentive memory span. Pain experienced by the dental patient during
surgical procedures is eased through the use of this drug, not by an actual reduction of the intensity
of the pain itself, but through a reduction of the patients anxiety about the pain he is experiencing.

The temporal window within which the patient is constrained to experience what is happening to
him while he is under the influence of the drug is simply too contracted to contain temporally
unwieldy thoughts such as, Oh no, hes going to hit the root, or , I wonder if its going to get
worse?! In retrospect, my experience of my own state of consciousness while under the drugs
influence was so like how I imagine my childhood consciousness to have been, although
paradoxically, I was much more afraid of the dentist then than I am presently!

This suggests an altogether new way of understanding the function of the brain as the organ of
consciousness. Instead of building up conscious experience from some determinate set of
primitive elements, e.g., sense data, the brain abstracts from a sea of information signals (eternally
preexistent, as we will argue later), in much the same manner, I believe, that the single strand of
DNA extracts from its cytoplasmic soup the amino acid bases it needs to duplicate itself. The
brain acts as a kind of template for thought in the sense that the activity of the brain as a whole
serves as a frame within which the particular features of this activity of the signal matrix, e.g.,
quantum vacuum electromagnetic field, which is complementary to the particular brain excitation
pattern, as it were, is defined through resonating, i.e., interacting with a peculiar spectrum of
vacuum electromagnetic field fluctuations, c.f., ancient Google cache of Hearthmath Institute
webpage detailing experiments in which DNA electromagnetic signatures were recorded in the
vacuum electromagnetic fields of resonant quantum cavities (circa 1995).

Certainly the more a task is repeated the more the series of actions constituting this task converges
to a rigidly inflexible sequence of acts: less and less, therefore, does the sequence of neural
discharges underlying its outward performance admit modification due to the presence of the
constantly varying web of cerebral electrochemical events taking place within the totality of
contemporaneous brain discharges, which form the biophysical basis of a task being memorized
by rote, becomes more and more impervious to the influence of what is occurring within the brain
as a whole, i.e.., progressively more insensitive to the neurochemical context, and to precisely this
extent, to which the neural sequence becomes impervious to outside influences, to this very extent
it sinks into the milieu of the unconscious mental processes.

So memory on the part of cybernetic systems, generally speaking, makes it impossible for their
mental states, their computational non-reproducible in time. It can also be shown that memory
prevents a cybernetic machines computational states from being reproducible in space, i.e., they
cannot be copied. One of the functions of consciousness may be the inscribing of patterns of
sensory data into memory for use in the interpretation of patterns of sensory stimulation occurring
in future for establishing the context of these future events, which have not been experienced
consciously.

But the converse of this is also true, namely, that the faculty of memory is essential for the
existence of conscious states of awareness for it is only through the placing of sensory stimuli into
a context formed in light of previous experience that these new stimuli might be categorized, that
patterns of stimuli might be recognized in terms of the presence of some object or objects, in other
words, that sensory experience might possess the property of intentionality.

This is one of the essential characteristics of historical change which distinguishes it primarily
from deterministic change. Historical change possesses temporal integrity because the series of
events/processes comprising it tells a story or potentially does so because of referring to a subject
or a set of related subjects. In a deterministic series of events, in a very real sense, nothing new
ever happens because all of the information about the entire series already exists at the time of the
first event in the series. ^^(look at fringe effects due to boundary and initial conditions if the
series has a beginning, then it cant be completely deterministic there is a powerful theorem
lurking here, I suspect! probably just Gibbs Theorem or an adaptation/lemma associated with
Gibbs Theorem though)^^ Time is spatialized in such a series because the series is infinitely
divisible; it is utterly without the property of integral wholeness, contained within a single instant
of time which sweeps along a line of finite length. (Paradoxically, infinite divisibility is intimately
connected with a holographic topology, which is to say an important variety of integral
wholeness.) Events within a historical series, however, do not assume a recognizable identity
unless something is known about some of the events leading up to them as well as concerning
events succeeding in their wake. Moreover, the identity of meaning of historical changes as well
as in light of increasing knowledge of the history of the events themselves. This is to say,
historical events are always partially indeterminate with respect to the revelation of future
historical change; furthermore, indeterminacy forms the very ground temporality in that all
changes of state are ultimately predicated upon it. This assertion is borne out quite literally by
quantum theory through the statement of its time-energy uncertainty principle first put forward by
Werner Heisenberg, one of the theorys early founders. One of the major implications of this
quantum principle is that the transitoriness of all quantum processes is directly proportional to the
size of the energy uncertainty of the quantum mechanical system in which these processes are
taking place. The magnitude of this energy uncertainty is directly related to the degree by which
the system violates the energy conservation principle of classical physics.

Information is characterized by the appearance of something new, or the notification that
something new has occurred itself the occurrence of something new. Information and energy
differ from one another in the sense that the very same spatiotemporal series of inputs of energy
into an energy system may occur again and again, but the analogue to this situation for data and
informational systems is not definable. Here repeated data inputs to an informational system do
not constitute two separate identical series of information inputs to the system, and, again, this is
due to the possession of memory by any informational system worthy of the name.

This follows from the indeterminates two basic properties: 1) the negation of the indeterminate is
itself also indeterminate so that it contains within itself a contradiction which it transcends and
from which anything at all may follow, and 2) the indeterminate, not existing any particular state at
any particular time, must be forever undergoing all manner of fluctuations. To wit, the
indeterminate is the eternal excluded middle the void through which everything passes as it
changes from what it is into what it is not. It must be clear that when A changes into B, it does so
by passing through a state which is neither A nor B, and so their must be that which is necessarily
neither/nor in general, i.e., the indeterminate. Intentionality fulfills the function of an underlying
fundamental substance, or subject of change. The physical is characterized by wholes being
determined through merely the sum of their parts; while the mental is characterized by parts being
determined by wholes. This definition of the distinction of mental and physical is very similar to
that provided by Schopenhauer.

These unconscious mental processes are probably logical or computational in their essential nature
and only alert the conscious mind when a recursive tangle between several different levels of
description take place, for what is called recursion cannot be adequately dealt with by any
logical/deductive system whatever which possesses greater deductive power than simple
arithmetic. Automatically it becomes and to this degree the more it occurs without the aid of
conscious guidance or reflection. This is owing to each successive occurrence being less and
less connected to the situational context, more and more connected internally to its immediately
previous occurrence.

Another characteristic of conscious thought which is essential to it is what John Searle calls, in his
book, Minds, Brains and Machines, intentionality. A thought possesses intentionality if it is
about something. In other words, thoughts, to be of the conscious variety, must be
transcendent in the same sense in which ink scratches on paper in a language known to the person
reading them, i.e., the interpreter of these scratches, transcend them as physical tokens. The ink
scratches on paper which constitute the circuit diagram of a so-called supercomputer do not appear
to be transcendent, at least as far as the computer itself is concerned, as the behavior of the
computer is simply isomorphic, i.e., runs parallel to, the structure embodied in the diagram. Any
sort of causal interaction between the physical embodiment of the diagram, i.e., the computers
hardware and any program it might be carrying out, i.e., its software disrupts this nice
isomorphism and would constitute transcendence by the computer of its program together with the
physical embodiment of its circuit diagram, its hardware. The distinction hardware/software
significantly parallels the distinction (more fundamental for our purposes), that of
energy/information.
October 2011
But any computer program is always implemented within a causal
context, however, the fluctuation-correlation structure of the underlying quantum vacuum does not
significantly contribute to this context until a delicacy, fineness and subtlety of operation is
reached approaching that of energies comparable in size to quantum fluctuations, which are in turn
comparable in size to the Heisenberg energy uncertainty of the computers central processor in its
capacity as a quantum mechanical system.

Although the context of thought is forever changing, we do not find ourselves lost in a bewildering
phantasmagorical world of endless metamorphosis. The human mind is able to utilize notions,
in their original occurrence as insights, in every newly-arising contexts. Some philosophers of
mind style mind as the metaphor of all metaphors. The stability of the Self within the stream of
consciousness is heavily dependent upon its facile use of metaphor. Metaphor, however, is only
the application of categories of thought in one context which have been borrowed from another.
Needless to say, these categories had to be at some point created ab initio through the more general
process of abstraction, or, the formation of abstract categories. The process of abstraction
always involves the treatment of certain details in which things differ as unimportant so that other
features may be foregrounded and grouped together within the same set or class. The creation of
a system of such categories sets the stage for the recognition of a cybernetic system. There will
always be multiple ways of categorizing the data which are continually streaming into the sensory
apparatus of the system; no hard and fast rule or set of rules may be worked out ahead of time to
prevent the emergence of an ambiguous collection of data, and so the necessity is always at hand of
deciding how the data will be interpreted, and this may only be accomplished through metaphor or
through the defining of new broader or narrower categories with which one structures the
ambiguous data. Note that the information content of data is always open-ended and contingent.
Abstraction requires first of all the capacity of the cybernetic system to define for itself what is to
be considered relevant and what is not. Relevance, however, may only be established in the light
of some previously determined aim or purpose. Purposes are always defined in service to the
larger or broader aim which is in view. The broader the purpose which one is pursuing, the
greater the scope which one has in satisfactorily fulfilling it. For human beings, this broadest
purpose, the instinct which we share with the rest of biological creation, is simply the
ever-recurring goal of physical survival.

If the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics is essentially correct, i.e., where the
wavefunction is a probability wave representing the state of an observer's knowledge so that it is
indeed the consciousness of the observer which is responsible for collapsing the wavefunction and
not the physical disturbance to the wavefunction provoked by his measuring device, then it should
be possible to carry out a "delayed choice" type experiment : a standard two slit interference set
up is constructed where two video cameras are substituted for two conscious observers, one
"viewing" both slits (camera A) and another camera "viewing" the backstop where either an
interference pattern or a random "buckshot" pattern of photon strikes appears. If this experiment
is performed in the absence of a human observer and then afterwards, perhaps years later, the film
in the back of cameras A and B are examined, it will be found that the order in which the cameras
are opened and their film emulsions examined will make a difference in whether the film from
camera B contains recorded on it either an interference pattern of photon waves or a "buckshot"
pattern of photon "bullets." In other words, if the film in camera A is examined first, then an
observer possesses knowledge as to which slit each photon passed through so that the
wavefunction of the paramagnetic particles coating the surface of the film emulsion in camera A
undergo a collapse from the previous superposition state leading to an interference pattern to a
positional eigenstate leading to the "buckshot" pattern of photon "strikes." On the other hand, if
the back of camera B is opened up first and its film developed and examined, then one finds that an
interference pattern has been recorded on the film. But what now for the film in the back of
camera A which had been set up to "view" and record events at the double-slit? Should not the
series of images recorded on this film be smeared out just enough to prevent us from telling which
photons traveled through which slits? If this is the case, then the images stored on the film of
camera B may be used to tell us whether camera A in fact did of did not record the "actual paths"
taken by the photons, though the double-slit superposition state associated with the photon
interference pattern does not require any unique and mysterious influence of human consciousness
upon the results of the experiment, but amounts to nothing more than the effect of camera A in
blocking the "pilot waves" traveling through the slits through which the photons are observed not
to be traveling.

March 1997
This preposterously counter-intuitive thought experiment can be defused if one requires
that merely the possibility of an observer gaining knowledge about which slit the electrons went
through would be sufficient to collapse the electron position wavefunctions so as to produce the
"buckshot" pattern of electron strikes on the phosphorescent backstop. This is actually what has
been demonstrated by several ingenious "delayed-choice" experiments, which have been
performed during the 1990's. And it is the position of the camera relative to the slits which, of
course, determines this.
October 2011
As an aside, consider that the question of whether or not neutrinos can be observed with
superluminal velocities may be dependent upon experimental set up, which is in accordance with
the logic of the observers role in interpreting the results of a two-slit experiment. If true, this
would mean that the logic of superposition and wavefunction collapse serves the vital role of
chronology protection. Note that chronology protection is not any concern when one is
speaking of the subjective information or incommunicable knowledge of the individual.
@$
Any
information that cannot be translated into intersubjective communication must avoid the stringent
restrictions of chronology protection. I say must in this connection because of the
prn=
fecundity principle of quantum mechanics (first uttered by Feynmann) that, anything not
forbidden by the laws of quantum mechanics happens. Since the information contained in energy
structures smaller than the Heisenberg energy uncertainty, /\E of the system cannot be
communicated locally only being able to accompany a state undergoing quantum teleportation, it
follows that the physical processes constitutive of consciousness (assuming consciousness is not
non-physical) are apiece with the fundamental processes of virtual particles, fields and their
reactions. If consciousness is to be considered non-physical, then the distinction of
physical-nonphysical lines up with the parallel distinction of real-virtual of quantum field
theory.
January 2012
Einsteins rod and clock convention could perhaps be recast in terms of
neutrinos as relativity yardstick instead of photons. If the neutrino maximum speed could be
pinned down to just a tiny fraction of a percent faster than the speed of light, a tiny fraction which
only results in a correspondingly tiny fraction of a percent error in all heretofore well established
measurable relativistic corrections, e.g., with respect to time, mass, length, etc., then the theory of
special relativity could be retained more or less intact. It would be just as though Einstein had
started his gedanken experiments using the neutrino instead of the light ray (photon) such that
special relativity remains valid as a physical principle. This of course poses problems for the
myriad physical analogue alternative interpretations of relativity, e.g, Desiatos polarizable
vacuum model. The momentum and energy deficits in particle interaction calculations that
formerly relied on a photon-based special relativity might then point of the existence of heretofore
undetected (and unsuspected) theoretical particles of extremely low mass, which would now be
necessary in order to reestablish an exact balance of, for example, nuclear particle scattering and
reaction equations.

But what if we could assure nature, as it were, that despite the appropriate positioning of the
camera in front of the double-slit, the observer, or any observer, would be unable to take advantage
of the appropriate physical arrangement of the camera in order to determine which slit the
electrons go through? I believe that, in this case, the interference pattern would, again, reappear
on the phosphorescent backstop! If this were the case, then the observer would regain his
mysterious status with respect to wavefunction collapses, c.f.,
au=
Vic Stenger,
cit=
The Myth of
Quantum Consciousness. One must, to wit, assure, first of all, that it is possible to establish a
closed system within which the experimental apparatus is to be contained, in order to, in turn,
assure that, no matter how large a physical arena this quantum experiment is performed in, the
observer will not possess the possibility of knowing the trajectories of the electrons. Not all
closed experimental situations can assure this, but it is just that a closing off of the experimental
setup from the rest of an open reality must be achievable to assure the inability of the observer to
draw on hidden resources to divine the trajectories of the electrons from their source to the
backstop. (Does this mean we must here be able to isolate the system, which is the subject of our
experiment from its embedding quantum vacuum so as to effectively separate the system from the
observers brain, which is also embedded in the context of this same quantum vacuum?) This
suggests that the observer's ability to collapse the wavefunction consists in a peculiar connection
which he is able to make with an open-ended reality, a reality which, as alluded to earlier, is
therefore indeterminate, i.e., nondeterministic. It is interesting to note that it is only within a
closed physical system, where the boundary conditions of the vacuum field are changing only
adiabatically, that a superposition state may be supposed to exist. Presumably, the closed system
cannot adequately accommodate the phenomenon of the observer's consciousness, which is what
disturbs the system, resulting in a collapse of the superposition state which heretofore existed
within it, and this, just by virtue of the mere possibility that the observer may obtain knowledge of
the system's state with respect to the superposition observables.
October 2011
So whether or not a
system is closed or open is of material importance to the question of whether what the system
contains is context-free data or context-dependent information. An important question is
whether the deciding difference here is to be determined exclusively through some fundamental
difference in the correlational structure of the systems fluctuation matrix, e.g., recursive vs.
nonrecursive, etc.

Throughout this discussion, we must not lose sight of the fact that the wavefunction itself does not
actually represent anything physically real or measurable, and so all purported interactions
occurring between wavefunctions must be realized in terms of the interaction of their associated
probability density functions. (Caveat: there is growing experiment evidence at the time of this
writing, October 2011 that the wavefunction is measurable and so constitutes a real physical
entity). For example, Aharonov experimentally proved the reality of A the magnetic vector
potential by measuring changes in the quantum phase of A within a region where the magnetic
field, B was absent. So if A is identified with the wavefunction of the photon, this proves the
reality of Psi.

A superposition state is only defined where each of the component superposed wavefunctions has
an associated probability via the square of its amplitude, although here the assignment of unique
probabilities to both the interference pattern - a turn of events which, on the
prn=
Copenhagen
interpretation, is determined solely by the decision of the conscious observer as to which camera,
A or B, he/she opens first. Remember that in the theory of quantum mechanic.s a particular event
only possesses a probability of 1 if it has already occurred. It is in this sense in which we speak
of the superposition state as a combination of quantum states, no one of which is real in itself.

The pre-Socratic philosopher,
au=
Parmenides, was of that philosophical tradition which considered
the ultimate metaphysical question to be "Why is there something rather than nothing?" And he is
noted for having proclaimed "Nothing does not exist."
@$
But he considered that all real change
necessarily involved the instant by instant creation of new attributes ex nihilo. Parmenides
concluded from this that change was, itself, impossible and the universe; being cannot come from
nonbeing, therefore the universe is a static and indestructible closed system; time was for
au=
Parmenides a kind of tenacious illusion. Time would later be characterized similarly by
au=
Einstein. In the present day, owing to the advent and development of the Quantum Theory, the
suggested reformulation of this most fundamental metaphysical question is: "Why is there
Information rather than Chaos?" For those persons for whom the question, "why is there
something rather than nothing," is meaningful, belief in the existence of a transcendent reality
beyond space and time, and what is more, beyond the most general dichotomy, the dual opposite
categories, existence vs. nonexistence, the granting of the being of Deity is theoretically but a
small step. Such persons merely have to be convinced of the necessity of Will within the realm
beyond Representation, c.f.,
cit=
Will and Representation (
au=
Schopenhauer). For other persons,
this most fundamental of metaphysical questions is, as
au=
Martin Gardner puts it,
"cognitively meaningless."

As the late 20
th
Century Philosopher,
au=
Robert Nozick
pointed out in his
cit=
Philosophical Investigations, The question cuts so deepthat any approach
that stands a chance of yielding an answer will look extremely weird. Someone who proposes a
non-strange answer shows he didnt understand the question [italics mine]. As logicians are fond
of saying: Everything follows from a contradiction. If nothing and everything are
veritable dual-opposite categories, then logic tells us that everything in between these two
extremes stems from the interrelation or interactivity of the two. In a sense, it is nothing which
gives everything its ontological status. On the information paradigm of existence, nothing
corresponds to chaos, while everything corresponds to pure, self-existent information and
anything in between would seem to depend upon both. In a twist of
au=
Clarkes principle, i.e., that
any sufficiently advanced technology would be indistinguishable from magic, we could say that,
any sufficiently information-dense structure would be indistinguishable from chaos. Here we are
relying on the rather speculative intuitive notion that encryption is necessary to achieve optimal
information packing densities. Examples of this are the number 19 code in the Quran, the Bible
Code, Hebrew number-letter correspondence, vowel suppression, absence of spaces in ancient
Hebrew texts. So the width of ones loupe, where and how far it is placed above the dense array of
characters, determines what is read off. This is all by way of pointing up the active role which the
interface has in determining information content. Can an alternate theory of mind on the one
hand, and of the public space on the other be developed from a confluence of such concepts as
selective attention, bandwidth conservation (c.f., http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rent%27s_Rule)
conservation of psychic energy, lucid dreaming, recursive functions, fractal geometry, Wigners
friend, Cramers Transactional and Everetts Many Worlds interpretations of quantum theory (and
its many recent Many Minds adaptations), epistemological solipsism, objectivity =
intersubjectivity, hard encryption, data compression, chaos theory, quantum decoherence as
grounded in an individualized vacuum spectrum or domain? The opposite side of the coin from
epistemological solipsism is the fact that one is unknowable to others. An important question in
this connection is whether the self that is unknowable to others is knowable to the self. If the only
parts of the self that can be known to itself are its socially or sociolinguistically constructed parts,
then ones own self is just as unknowable as is the self of others, perhaps?
tbctd September 2011
The
most efficient form of encryption is likely to invoke self-referentiality or incursiveness of some
kind. We propose that the reductio ad absurdum of self-referentiality is represented by
consciousness. Consciousness represents the ultimate exemplar of hard encryption. The
doctrines of the incorrigibility of sense data and
au=
Russells pivileged access to the contents of
consciousness are consistent with the notion that, the hard encryption represented by
consciousness are incorrigible and the contents to which they grant access are privileged.
Substance is indifferent to the passage of time and so must be bound up in the phenomena of
emergence through substances ability to transcend all possible historical accounts of a process.
Just think of Leibniz monads here as possessing no windows. The quality or qualities of
substance, being that it/they universally pervade(s) all things that exist, would forever be free of
being intersubjectively identified or classified. Classification depends upon some things or states
being the case that fall outside a given class purview. The individual consciousness qua
substance that all contents of a given individual consciousness must be supposed to possess can
never be identified or classified by that individual, moreover, on account of the hard encryption
represented by consciousness, nor shall any other individual be able to identify or classify the
substance that makes up that individuals subject contents of consciousness. Note that there
could potentially be an indefinite number of distinct differences between the consciousnesses of an
unlimited number of individual minds, both real and possible, opening up the possibility of an ever
greater number of abstract categories and relations involving these individual consciousnesses.
And yet all of this taxonomic knowledge is forever totally inaccessible, except to a transcendental
being. It was not without very good reason that
au=
Alvin Plantinga devoted an entire book to the
topic of
cit=
God and Other Minds.
July 2012
Unfortunately, one cannot find a free of copy of
Plantinga's 1967 book and he only cuts to the chase and states his real argument on the last 3 or 4
pages of his book. The rest of the book is groundwork examining all of the arguments in favor of
God's existence and why these arguments fail. Plantinga's own argument does not fail, once one
really takes to heart the fact that one has only ever know one's own sensory states. Even if one
lives forever in a heaven or hell after this life, it will still be *just you* experiencing *your own
thoughts and sensory states*. The reality of a genuine plurality of subjective states of conscious
experience (of distinct persons) necessarily brings in a perspective transcending mere
everlastingness of an individual (particular) mind, i.e., that of a Universal Mind. In a word, even
if you live for infinite time, you cannot have proof of the existence of other minds - this shall
always remains a question of faith a faith no weaker than that of the deist who has faith in a
Universal Mind.

"Without transcendent, universal mind there is no distinction between the case of
consciousness being a one or its indeed being a many." The universal consciousness field splits
the number degeneracy, e.g.,
@$
photon number degeneracy of the Boltzmann brains, which real,
biological brains resonantly tune to whenever those brains enjoy conscious states of awareness.
The continuity of conscious experience necessarily piggybacks off of the nonlocal connectivity
of unique vacuum fluctuation frequency spectra. And so personal identity qua substantial
continuity of mind and mental states is far more a function of vacuum nonlocality than it is a
function of specific reproducible instantaneous patterns of neural or microtubule network
interaction configurations in a given biological brain. In a word, personal identity is a function of
resonant Boltzmann brains qua nonlocally connected, quantum-coherent vacuum entropy
fluctuations. And here the normal distinction of closed versus open thermodynamic systems must
be reinterpreted in light of this nonlocal connectivity, which in some sense renders mysteriously
fuzzy this otherwise hard and fast distinction from the theory of classical thermodynamics.

When one rejects God and adopts atheism, what one has secretly done is to have rejected the
notion of a transcendent, universal mind as well as that of the very ground of mind as such. The
rejection of the transcendent other is therefore just a temporary stopover along the path to the
rejection of other minds and otherness as such. This is the case even if, as it turns out, ones
thinking does not possess sufficient logical consistency to carry one along the full course of this
philosophical path - that which is overwhelmingly the case. This is a restatement of the piquant
observation that, if naive realism is metaphysical baking powder, then atheism is just half-baked
solipsism. This is all a direct consequence of the fact that, we can have no general concept of
consciousness such that each and every other person should constitute an instantiation along with
one's own self of said general concept . . . that is, with observation this set along side the
indisputable fact that solipsism is false and other minds (whose ground of mentality is apart from
that of one's own) do in fact exist. The term is impossible to define except in terms that are
unintelligible without a grasp of what consciousness means. Consciousness is a fascinating but
elusive phenomenon; it is impossible to specify what it is, what it does, or why it evolved. Nothing
worth reading has been written about it [italics mine], c.f., Sutherland, S., International
Dictionary of Psychology, 1989.

This reformulation constitutes, almost by itself, the answer to its precursor: the
pre-Socratic question "Why is there something rather than nothing?" is insoluble in its demand
for a relation between being and nonbeing apart from their mutual exclusiveness whereas the
modern counterpart to this question does not at all demand from us the impossible as there are
many examples, both empirical and mathematical, where chaotic systems acquire order through
self-organization or ordered systems become chaotic through an increase in entropy, also c.f.,
deterministic chaos.

Data may be considered to be the embodiment of information in the
sense of constituting the necessary, but not the sufficient condition for the presence of information.
There must be a special characterization of some subset of the sum total of necessary conditions
for some state to occur or obtain, which combined with another subset of such conditions
constitutes the sufficient condition, The relationship of the two subsets would be in a
complimentary manner akin to figure-ground.
April 2012
If information is gerundial as in informing,
then there should be something akin to proto-information. The question then is whether this
implies such a process as proto-consciousness. It might be profitable to distinguish,
instructions, data, metadata, information. Analogies such as Internet, webpage, hyperlink,
operating system, cloud/cloud computing may be both helpful as well as limiting here, hence the
ever present need to create new contexts, i.e., new myths.

But what, you may ask, is contained within the Quantum Theory which suggests this
reformulation? Very simply, the Quantum Theory does not treat the vacuum as a veritable
emptiness, but rather as a medium of chaotic fluctuations of positive and negative energy which
cancel each other, averaging out to zero net energy over distances larger than an atomic diameter,
say. Subatomic particles, the penultimate constituents of matter come into existence when energy
fluctuations over a small region of the vacuum respond to each other's presence through the
accidental formation of feedback paths among themselves. These feedback structures may
remain stable for only extremely fleeting periods of time or they may become robust and persist
against their chaotic backdrop for longer periods permitting the formation of more complex
hierarchical structures. The presence of information is the key ingredient determining if such
fluctuation networks persist against the background of quantum fields. In terms of information
theory, the vacuum is filled with an infinite number of messages crossing it to and fro from every
direction; material particles are constituted by more messages being exchanged within this region
than between this region and the "outside" of this region. On this interpretation, matter does not
respond instantaneously to accelerations (possesses inertia) owing to a communication bottleneck
existing between its interior and the surrounding vacuum; matter cannot respond to the world in
"real time," but must take time out to "process" the coded instructions which it receives from its
"inputs." One need here only compare the ease with which a single gnat can change its direction
in flight ( to avoid an obstacle, say) to the difficulties involved when an entire swarm of gnats, ore
a swarm of swarms of gnats, for that matter, attempts to perform the same maneuver based on the
intelligence ( in the military sense) of a small group of harbinger gnats. These chaotic
fluctuations of vacuum energy are a manifestation of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. this
principle states a numerical relationship between the dual physical quantities position / momentum
and time / energy. The bridging constant between these dual quantities is Planck's constant, h,
and the exact expression of this relation is:

X*P = h/2pi or T*E = h/2pi,

which is derived from Planck's older relation,

E = h * f;

where E is energy (Joules), f is frequency (hertz), X is distance (meters), P is momentum and T is
time (seconds); h is, of course, Planck's constant which has units of Joule-seconds. There is a
more sophisticated and complete matrix algebraic statement of the principle, but this need not
concern us here. Heisenberg's uncertainty principle is an epistemological one as it rigidly
specifies how the accuracy in our knowledge of one physical quantity affects the accuracy of our
determination of the remaining paired quantity. Heisenberg's principle can be obtained by
generalizing Planck's relation in terms of the matrix algebraic expression:

p*q - q*p = h/2pi x I .

If consciousness is, itself, required to collapse the wave-function, then consciousness must
originate in the interaction of uncollapsed wavefunctions. This suggests that the wavefunctions
interacting with one another within consciousness are of the already collapsed variety, that is the
perceptual representations of wavefunctions all interact based upon a subluminal propagation of
mutual influence. Quantum wavefunctions which have not yet collapsed are capable of
interacting with one another at a distance instantaneously and this sort of phenomenon is referred
to by Physicists as the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen, or E.P.R. effect. There are two basic schools of
the Quantum Theory. Where they differ is in their interpretation of the status of Heisenberg's
uncertainty principle. One school maintains that this uncertainty is due merely to the practical
limitations of observation, that is; the uncertainty is only epistemological in nature. The other
school maintains that this uncertainty is a theoretical limitation, that is; the uncertainty is
ontological in character. The dispute between these two schools is solved easily enough,
however. In the 1990's when computers have reached a relatively high level of sophistication it is
not uncommon to encounter the opinion, among otherwise enlightened (educated) individuals, that
computers are capable of or exhibit a kind of elementary consciousness. These are the same
people who would deny without hesitation that earlier more primitive computers such as
Babbages differential analyzer (originally designed in the 1840's) or perhaps even the Eniac (
circa 1945) which calculated artillery paths are themselves incapable of anything approaching
what might be called conscious thought. This reveals an intuition that somehow sheer complexity
is the essential factor, which separates the mechanical brute or automaton from the sophisticated
high speed digital computer of today.
August 2011
Note: sheer complexity of deterministic
computing is only important because there exists some intrinsic threshold within those
nondeterministic fields in which the classical digital state machine is/becomes embedded, which
provides context for an otherwise meaningless, context-free affair (just as in the case of Babbages
differential analyzer). It is likely that this threshold lies at the boundary between the quantum
and classical worlds, which exhibit wavelike vs. particle-like behavior, respectively.
@$
There is
no context-free threshold of computing complexity at which any qualitative change in the nature of
computing is to be rationally expected. That is just magical thinking.

Even among those who flatly deny that modern high speed computers possess anything like real
intelligence or consciousness, there is the implicit assumption of sheer complexity as the necessary
magical ingredient: a revolutionary jump in switching speed, memory capacity, architecture
design - all of which are essentially functions of increased density of miniaturized components -
would undoubtedly bring about the necessary gain in complexity, i.e., that which approaches the
complexity of the human brain itself, so that machines would acquire a kind of consciousness.
Marvin Minsky - the leading figure within the so-called hard-AI community - once designated
human brains as nothing more than "meat machines." But if there is this almost ineffable
intuition about a vital connection between complexity and consciousness then a perhaps even
greater or deeper one is that between the notions of consciousness and freedom. So-called
hard-AI theorists such as Minsky, Dennet, and the Churchland's use analytical arguments which
miss the point in objecting to Searle because they do not address their criticisms to the principle
thesis that he advances, namely, that the causal powers of matter play an essential role in
determining the phenomenon of consciousness and that such causal considerations go beyond
those of formal symbol manipulation. Where these two intuitions meet and reinforce one
another is when one considers a digital computing device, say, where the packing densities of the
microelectronic components approach that of naturally occurring crystals. It is at precisely this
point where we expect to see the quantum mechanical effects described by the famous Heisenberg
Uncertainty Principle. Here despite all attempts at insulation and grounding, filtering, or
rectification, it becomes nevertheless impossible to force the device to operate according to some
pre-established blueprint of operation, i.e., program, as the fluctuating voltages and electric
currents inherently reside within the device as a consequence of the interaction of the device's
wires and circuit elements with the vacuum electromagnetic field which in its own turn must
fluctuate randomly. This random and irretrievable fluctuation in the vacuum's electromagnetic
field is due to an extension of the Uncertainty principle which states that the electric and magnetic
field strengths may not both be simultaneously specified at any point in space - in much the same
fashion in which the position and momentum of and individual particle may not be simultaneously
specified. A sharp determination of the electric field at a point will cause a large spread of
uncertainty in measurements of the magnetic field at this point and vice versa. The fluctuating
(quantum) voltages and currents to which the circuitry of any really advanced computing device
would be subject would be utterly useless and manifest themselves as noise signals disruptive to
the normal operation of the device - unless the device could manage to interact with these
fluctuating fields.

Clearly the spatiotemporal scale at which these quantum fluctuations take place
represents an insuperable physical barrier to the continued operation of Moore's Law which states
that, microprocessor computing power increases by doubling every eighteen months to two years,
given, at least, no significant departure from conventional microprocessor architectural design as it
has manifest itself over the previous four or five generations of microprocessor development.
October 2011
Although in some sense spatial scale is only meaningful within the context of locality,
though with respect to Penroses one graviton limit, energy scale is indeed relevant.

The breakthrough in the evolution of microprocessor technology which will make possible the
continuation of Moore's Law, at the same time as it transcends it, will come in the form of a
significant paradigm shift in the relationship between computer architecture designers and
programmers and knowledge. This paradigm shift will manifest itself in two distinct but closely
related ways. The movement will take place from a representational to a participatory basis for
the communication of information and knowledge. Instead of knowledge undergoing many
transformations from information to data to information and back again at each stage in its passing
from one person to another, knowledge will be communicated not through any physical
transmission data, but through a nonrepresentational and participatory sharing of knowledge
between minds.

But this is still not enough. Our intuition that the phenomenon of consciousness is a radically
deep one pushes us to suppose that this device - however it is supposed to function - merely sets the
stage for this chaotically fluctuating vacuum field to interact with itself - the device becomes just
an intermediary, a facilitator, of a process which must ultimately fall under the control of this
energy itself. We see that our intuition about the importance of smallness and complexity
captured in the motion of sensitivity (to vacuum fluctuations) and our intuition concerning
freedom ( of vacuum energy to self-organize) appear to intersect. There is an exact parallel
between the relationship of energy and entropy to each other and the relationship between signal
bandwidth and signal information capacity. We might liken the comparison between a conscious
(intelligent) computer and automaton (unintelligent computer) in the following manner. A dumb
computer is searching a maze for its exit...There are a number of respects in which the paradigm
shift from a bottom-up to a top-down metaphysics may be realized.:

1) Physical processes are not "pushed up from below" by blind efficient causation, but are "pulled
up from above" by teleological causation. This may be seen through Margenau's observation that
all differential equations representing processes of blind causation may be recast as any one of an
infinite family of integral equations (depending on initial conditions) where some physical
quantity such as time, energy, distance, etc., is minimized or maximized. Teleology, however, in
its own way, presupposes the existence of a determinate framework just as much as does classical
physics; in fact, events are not merely determined within teleological causation, but are
overdetermined.

2)The vacuum is not empty as it was conceived to be in the 18th century classical physics with
solid particles caroming through it, but the vacuum is, rather, a plenum, a fullness of energy while
so-called particles are mere excitations of this vacuum medium. The energy density of the
vacuum is far greater than the energy density of the particles "occupying" it.

3) chaos may be reinterpreted as a thermal reservoir of virtually infinite information content as
opposed to a condition of no information.

4) There is an empirical-theoretical spectrum with the unified theory of physics at the theoretical
end of this spectrum and pure consciousness at the opposite empirical end. Therefore, it is just as
meaningless to ask what the fundamental "constituents" of matter posited by unified physical
theory, are in themselves as it is to inquire into the process by and through which the phenomenon
of consciousness originates.

Both questions are posed at the wrong extreme of the empirical-theoretical spectrum so that any
attempt to answer them appear incoherent or self-contradictory. If the empirical-theoretical really
constitutes a spectrum which exhaustively "covers" reality, then we expect that the bootstrap
explanations applied at each end of this spectrum must somehow merge or interpenetrate.

5) The creation of material particles is not the direct conversion of energy into matter, rather the
energy required is that needed to dissociate them from the network of interactions in which they
pre-exist. Creation is not ex nihilo, but is an abstraction of a low level of structure from a
preexisting dynamic whole of virtually infinite (maximal) complexity. Each act of abstraction,
however, is founded on negations performed within a predefined whole which is itself a form of
abstraction of a higher order than mere negation which is an operation which presupposes the
ability to partition a system into disjoint and complementary halves. This setting-up of such a
system decomposable into complementary partitions, is the higher order abstraction which cannot
be understood as being based in mere negation within a larger system. The transformation of
elements within a particular system of representation through expansion of the context grounding
the representational elements is a kind of transformation which cannot be explained in causal or
merely rational terms.

6) Consciousness is channeled, structured, limited, abstracted by the functioning of the human
brain, it is not produced through its action. The brain acts, per the Bergson James - Lange
theory, as a kind of reducing valve.

7) Gravitational time dilation, rather than being an effect of a gravitational field, may be an
essential part of the physical vacuum mechanism by which matter produces a gravitational field.

8) Rather than conservation of four-momentum being deduced from the theory of special
relativity, conservation of four-momentum is the very foundation upon which the edifice of special
relativity is built. What is referred to as locality is the sum of physical processes governed via
the strong coupling mediated through the exchange of energy between particles possessing an
energy greater than the energy uncertainty of the quantum mechanical system within which these
energy exchanges are occurring. What is called nonlocality is the sum of physical interactions
governed via the weak coupling mediated through the exchange of energy between particles
possessing an energy smaller than the energy uncertainty of the quantum mechanical system
within which these "weak" energy exchanges are occurring.

The presence of real photons is evidence that at some point in spacetime a fermion made an energy
transition which was trigger either by bombarding real photons or the action of the vacuum
electromagnetic field, i.e., spontaneous emission. Of course, both process must be invoked again,
repeatedly, to explain the existence of the bombarding photons. this infinite regress converges in
the sense that at progressively earlier moments we find the vacuum electromagnetic field in an
ever more compressed state and as the process of spontaneous emission tends to outstrip that of
stimulated emission at high frequencies the explanation for the decay of excited fermionic states is
found to lie exclusively with the action of the vacuum electromagnetic field.


June 1998
The reason for the momentum fluctuation spectrum of an electron contained within a
quantum well being identical to the spectrum of possible discrete energy transitions between
possible quantum well energy levels may be on account of the following simple observation.
Such transitions downward by a real electron are stimulated to occur either by real or virtual
photons while such transitions upward by a virtual electron are stimulated to occur likewise either
by a real or virtual photon, and the spectrum of such virtual photons represents that of the vacuum
electromagnetic waves with which the bound electron can resonate with and with which it can
exchange energy. Since the photon propagates through vacuum part of the time as a electron/
positron pair, and in a gravitational field the density of virtual fermion/antifermion pairs is
somewhat decreased, it follows that the velocity of the photon through this modified vacuum will
be correspondingly decreased. It follows from this that the energy density of the vacuum must
vary proportionally to the cube of the local value of the speed of light within the gravitational
field-laden, and hence, modified vacuum. This may similarly be interpreted as the energy density
of the vacuum being proportional to the inverse cube of the frequency of vacuum electromagnetic
waves. This is just the relationship of vacuum energy density to virtual photon frequency which
renders the quantum vacuum perfectly Lorenz-invariant.

In Nature, Oct. 19, p(574), the time required for quantum mechanical tunneling of an
electron across a Josephson junction was measure. This result means that there is some meaning,
which can be attached to the velocity of the particle during its act of quantum tunneling.
Sudden, nonadiabatic compression of the Casimir plates should result in the spontaneous emission
of photons by the vacuum. Similarly, nonadiabatic expansion of tightly compressed plates should
result in the spontaneous absorption of some real photons, which happen to be within the geometry
of the plates at this time.

NOTE: This statement may not be true because the Einstein coefficient of spontaneous
absorption is identically zero; the coefficients of spontaneous emission, and hence, of stimulated
absorption and emission, may be changed through altering the vacuum electromagnetic energy
density utilizing Casimir plates, resonant cavities, etc.

The Universe might be described by a wavefunction representing its tunneling through a
hyperspherical barrier, in four real spatial dimensions. The quantum tunneling of the Universe
through this hyperspherical barrier may be alternately described as the collapse of a false vacuum
state and the subsequent creation of free particle wavefunctions propagating along an imaginary
axis of a four dimensional hypersphere of 3 real + 1 imaginary spatial dimension. The
probability density of this wavefunction adjusts as time passes reflecting the increasing
uncertainty of its would-be position eigenstate. Any vector at a point where its scalar product,
with the wavenumbers of the eigenfunction expansion (of the universal wavefunction), is zero is
assigned an imaginary coefficient reflecting its being rotated 90owith respect to the wavenumber
set of the eigenfunction expansion. There was a recently announced discovery that the linear
Hubble relationship between galactic distances and recession rates does not strictly hold, but that
the recession velocities are distributed discretely with increasing distance, each velocity being
roughly an integral multiple of 72 Km/sec. These observation suggest two distinct but related
possibilities.

One, that the initial collapse of the quantum mechanical vacuum state occurred in discrete stages in
much the same way that an excited electron decays from a highly excited state. Two, that the
Universe tunneled, quantum mechanical fashion, out of a hyperspherical potential barrier where,
as in the usual case, the transmission coefficient varied sinusoidally with the wavenumber. The
vacuum electromagnetic field is said to be incompressible, but this is not strictly true. The
vacuum electromagnetic field actually appears to decrease in energy density when confined within
a resonant cavity of decreasing volume. This seems to suggest that the energy density of the
vacuum electromagnetic field is in a sense negative. We may think of the effect of shrinking the
resonant cavity upon the photons present within this cavity in two distinct ways:

1) The photons wavelengths are simply compressed by the cavity shrinkage factor or

2) The zero-point of the vacuum electromagnetic field is altered by a certain fraction so that the
energy of photons within the cavity "appear" to be greater (relative to the new zero-point) by this
same fraction. Of course, the first alternative appears more intuitively evident but embodies the
simplistic assumption that the photons within the cavity possess some permanent and abiding
existence rather than being a packet of energy which is continually being emitted (created) and
absorbed (annihilated) by the fluctuating electromagnetic vacuum field. If a photon is in a
momentum eigenstate, then the position of this photon along its translation axis is totally
uncertain. We say therefore that in the position representation of the photon's wavefunction that
the probability density of photons along the particular photon's translation axis is exactly zero.
Consequently, a photon or photon beam which is in a momentum eigenstate - and hence an energy
eigenstate also - does not alter the probability versus frequency distribution function (along its
translation axis) for virtual photons of like eigenenergy. This may be seen to follow from the fact
that an increased likelihood of finding a photon of a particular eigenenergy within a certain spatial
interval means that the probability vs. frequency distribution function in this region experiences a
peak at the frequency corresponding to this eigenenergy.

The rates of stimulated emission and absorption of electromagnetic radiation at a particular
frequency are proportional to the density of the ambient radiation at this frequency. The constants
of proportionality are the Einstein coefficients of emission and absorption, respectively. It was
stated earlier as a general principle that all physical processes were mediated through the exchange
of energy between matter and the vacuum, the reservoir of energy uncertainty. This principle
may be made more specific by invoking the Einstein relationships for electromagnetic radiation
emission and absorption as the mechanism for all energy emission - absorption, that is, for all
forms of energy exchange, so that the rates at which all physical processes take place becomes
proportional to the spectral energy density of the fluctuating boson fields of the vacuum - in
accordance with our earlier intuitions. this assignment of the Einstein mechanism ( for want of a
more convenient term) for physical processes in general depends upon the implicit assumption that
in the absence of stimulated emission (and absorption) the coefficients of spontaneous emission
and absorption are identical - just as are the coefficients of stimulated emission and absorption are
identical in the absence of spontaneous emission. But the problem here is that there really is no
such thing as spontaneous absorption - as noted before this condition would violate the principle of
energy conservation. Spontaneous emission appears to only occur to electrons which have
already been elevated to excited energy levels through stimulated absorption - in other words the
energy fluctuations of the vacuum serve merely to trigger the decay of excited states produced
through ambient electromagnetic radiation. However, this would not be the case if spontaneous
absorption applied only to energy in the form of virtual particles. The lifetime of virtual particle
is determined by the uncertainty principle and therefore the absorption of these particles out the
vacuum does not violate conservation of energy. It must be observed here that the assignment of
the value ) to the coefficient of spontaneous absorption is only required by the assumption that the
energy density of the vacuum is itself zero. A number of experiments on vacuum cavity
resonance suggest that spontaneous emission rates are suppressed by imposing boundary
conditions upon the electromagnetic vacuum. It is our deepest suspicion that the fraction by
which the emission rate is suppressed is equal to the fraction by which the density of the
electromagnetic vacuum is reduced through the imposed boundary conditions. In the chapter on
nonclassical light in the work, Light and Quantum Fluctuations, a correspondence is drawn
between the effect of a dielectric medium within a certain region of the vacuum and the alternate
introduction of specific boundary conditions upon this vacuum, say, utilizing conducting plates,
resonant cavities, etc. In this chapter it was concluded that the fractional increase in the index of
refraction is directly proportional to the fractional increase in the electromagnetic energy density
of the vacuum with the wavenumber being also altered by this fraction but with the frequency
being unaltered by the dielectric medium so that a fractionally decreased local value of the speed
of light results.

How do we represent a trajectory despite the fact that the motion of the particle must be
continually recast in terms of a time varying set of basis functions. This time variation of the
basis functions must contain an element of randomness, or unpredictability since otherwise a
unique unchanging basis could be found with which to represent the motion. Distinct trajectories
can only be co-represented within the same presentational space if each and all are differing
projections of a single evolving trajectory. Each eigenfunction is related to its noncommuting
spectrum of superposed complementary eigenfunctions in the sense that figure is related to
ground. The complementary eigenfunction spectrum is a data set; the selection of one of these
eigenfunctions within the observational context constitutes the engendering of a bit of information.
The component eigenfunctions become mutually coupled provided that their wavefunction resists
alteration through external influences. The eigenfunctions are coupled to one another if each
contains at least a tiny projection along all of the other eigenfunctions, which together with it make
up their wavefunction. This is only possible if this set of eigenfunctions contributes to the
defining of the Hilbert space geometry within which they find expression. This requires that the
time evolution of the wavefunction be nondeterministic, which is to say, nonunitary.

The information content of a given structure is determined by the degree to which it
approximates its intentional object. On this view, things are defined in terms of a holographic
contextual matrix or system. Meaning is context-dependent. Because of this, there is a world of
difference between what is called data and what is called information. Information may be
thought of as data provided with context adequate to determine its meaning; information is
processed data, while data may be conversely thought of as uninterpreted signals. Data are
overdetermined by information; information is underdetermined by data. Data may be physically
transmitted through space, but this is not so for information. Data suggest myriad possible
informational structures while information narrows one's focus upon a tiny subset of an unlimited
variety of different possible sets of data. Recalling the beads on a string analogy, rational
numbers may be represented by an finite number of terms of a convergent infinite series, itself,
representing an irrational number. This finite set of terms, gotten by truncating a convergent
infinite series, are amenable to arithmetic manipulation. This is because, metaphorically
speaking, we are able to take the beads off their finite string and re-thread them in arbitrary order
without changing the topological relationships of the beads. Not so for an infinite number of
beads on an infinite string. A finite number of beads on an infinite string may correspond to
matrices. The rearrangement of the order of the beads is here a reversible process or procedure
and so may not be thought to possess intrinsic information.

I am fascinated by systems with a group theoretic structure. More generally, I am
intrigued by specialized language systems. Why do such systems appear to be "closed" and yet
permit the appearance within themselves of genuinely novel, or emergent structures. Emergence
is always explainable in terms of the interpretation of such structures within the context of larger,
in fact, "open" systems. Formal symbol manipulating systems, such as computing devices, do not
admit the existence of what are called semantic structures. Information is reduced, or
de-interpreted, if you will, by one programmer, to produce a coherent set of inputs to the
computing device, and the outputs engendered by the computational process are then
re-interpreted by another (or the same) programmer. The computational process itself, in
isolation from the interpretation process, which bounds it, is not "about anything." Structure only
has meaning when it is de-constituted back into the unbounded self-referential flux from which it
originally arose through the process of abstraction. In fact, the general procedure of composing a
computer program is itself an example par excellence of reduction or abstraction. If the activity
of the system as a whole, or, rather, as a totality, is without meaning because of its not being
embedded in some larger context, then neither are any sub processes occurring within it
meaningful. By extension, the human brain must be embedded in a larger mediating context,
which is itself completely open-ended in its possibilities - otherwise those processes occurring
within any given human brain would not be, as alluded to earlier, "about anything."
September 2011
Such brain processes could not then possess intentionality, which is yet another way of seeing the
incompatibility of free will and determinism, c.f, Empedocles remarks concerning the
incompatibility of atoms and void determinism and logical reasoning (rationicination), c.f., God
and the Argument from mind (Chapter 13)


Besides excluding temporal evolution by being deterministic, closed "dynamic" systems lack
temporality because, in addition, being closed bound-energy systems, their energy may only
change in discrete amounts. Any finite set of data within an infinite informational system has
an unlimited number of theoretical structures, which suffice to explain the coherence of these data.
An infinite informational system is able to contain within itself a complete symbolic representation
of its own structure.

The phrase, 'information processing," is a confusing and ambiguous one as information is
probably itself a stable pattern of interlocking activity within the flux of a more substantive and
comprehensive data processing action. On this view, data and information are not synonymous
commodities - data possessing merely a form in the restricted sense of a spatiotemporal frequency,
in itself possessing no content or intentional object, which is to say meaning. Whereas
information is the result of the interpretation of data, not in the sense of divining their intended
message or meaning (data possess none such in and of themselves), but in the less obvious sense of
reconciling the new data with a long interpretive history stored in memory based on data received
previously.

Given an infinite number of possible 'events,' the probability of any one occurring is
infinitesimal, still less could the 'same' events occur repeatedly and in predictable order, unless the
events were causally overdetermined by a sequence of preceding events which themselves
constitute a backwards diverging sequence of necessary causes. The origin of these "infinitely
improbable events" must be a nonlocally connected infinite set of events (a continuum) where the
singular event is an intentional object defined in terms of the self-referential topological
relationship/interaction of infinite subsets within the continuum. Another paradoxical usage
popular in the literature of physiological psychology, artificial intelligence, philosophy of mind,
etc., is the phrase "transmitting information." One must realize that only energy may be
transmitted, information is always constructed through the interpretation of data received in situ;
information does not physically move from place to place. On this view, information is not a
conserved quantity, at least in the sense of some physical continuity equation governing its 'flow,'
and so if energy and information are in some physical context interdefinable, it should only be
under a set of circumstances where the principle of conservation of energy does not strictly hold.
Transmission presupposes the notion of the conveyance of some conserved quantity within some
closed space or continuum. We now know that "closed continuum" is a contradiction in terms.
The only such situation known to physics is the one in which processes occur within a frequency
spectrum with a lowest frequency larger than the reciprocal of the quantum mechanical time
uncertainty of the physical system within which the relevant processes are occurring. Another
reason to believe that a physical continuity equation does not apply to information or its flows is
that information appears to reside in between the discrete energy levels of crystalline quantum
systems, and so information is not here really spatially localizable, in principle. Reducing the
energy uncertainty of a neural network will squelch some of the nonlocally virtual interactions
occurring within the energy bands of the network because the bands will be contracted resulting in
a contraction of the bandwidth of vacuum electromagnetic field frequencies available to the
network, reducing the data processing capacity of the network.


Because information is not stored in the brains neural network at any particular physical locations
within the brain per se, but a more approximately correct description is to say that learned
information is stored at various discrete energy levels of this network, conceived as a quantum
mechanical system. When a piece of information or a memory is recalled, the neural network
will attempt to connect to a new spectrum of the nonlocally connected quantum vacuum
fluctuation field. In essence, the brain becomes embedded in a new vacuum or ground state
which causes a restructuring or reconstituting of its stack of energy levels at which the data was
stored.
06/98
After the restructuring of this stack, a new array of discrete energy levels prevails
along with a new spectrum of possible virtual energy transitions within the new stack. Now the
brain has become resonantly tuned to a new spectrum of (nonlocally-connected) vacuum energy
fluctuations. This is how data or passive information gets re-presented as active information.
The brain may be thought of analogously to a hardware interface between the individual soul and
the impersonal and open-ended information reservoir. As indicated already, data encoded by the
vacuum in the discrete energy structure of the brain is overdetermined. This same data as
decoded from memory traces within the brains energy structure is underdetermined. What
permits a quantity of data within the brains neural network to persist as this selfsame quantity is
established neither by any physical continuity which the brain may possess from one moment to
the next, nor can the persistence of this data be placed on any formally descriptive footing. The
informational continuity of the memory traces, i.e., data stored within the brains neural network
is maintained outside the brain in the sense of this continuity being of a nonlocal nature: not
contained within the brains local spacetime. So on this view, the brain may be thought of as a
kind of terminal interfacing with the network of the nonlocally connected, fluctuating
quantum vacuum energy field. The physical traces within the brain associated with memory
consist merely of pointers, or, borrowing from the more current Internet metaphor; these traces are
to be thought of (along with Laszlo) as being akin to links to World Wide Web sites so that
memories are not stored in the brain but merely memory addresses. Continuing the Internet
analogy, these physical memory traces within the brain may be understood after the fashion of web
browser bookmarks. Particular eigenvalues of energy associated with the discrete quantized
energy levels of the brains neural network cannot remain proper memory addresses for
information dynamically stored within the quantum vacuum network if the underlying
eigenfunctions are not adequately tracked through adequate self-interaction of the vacuum with
itself through the brain as quantum neural network hardware interface. This is due to the
inevitable presence of energy degeneracy within the brain. The brain may be functioning as a
running convolution integrator of multiple unbounded vacuum spectra. The brain in this way
establishes resonant and therefore maximal connectedness between different vacuum topologies.
These vacuum topologies are not contained within the local spacetime of the brain because any
particular metric must presuppose an already given spacetime topology.

There seems to be two conflicting views of the vacuum electromagnetic field in its
important role in opening up the otherwise mechanically determined processes of the human
neural network. Firstly, the v.e.f. provides context for real particle/field processes occurring
within the brain, and secondly, it provides the field of possible informational structures which are
filtered and selected by the brain's neural network ( if only passively) to give meaning to its interior
processes. The reason the question, "Why does time appear to pass at the particular rate that it
does?," does not really make sense is because the interpretation of sensory data is radically
dependent upon the timing of the events represented by these data with respect to the mind which
interprets them and gives them contextual significance, and so there is no such thing as identical
sequences of events occurring at different rates. It is more true to say that formal systems are
created with the intent of demonstrating (formally) certain theorems which some person already
has in mind, rather than, that theorems are to be deduced from within already existing formal
deductive systems of inference. Energy and information are not interdefinable within a closed
dynamical system. What are called "mind" and "matter" are not fundamental categories in terms
of which fundamental distinctions may be validly thought to subsist. Both terms represent
somewhat complementary ways of abstracting from the fundamental substantive process of the
absolute ground of being. Reality as it is in and of itself is neither and both of these "things." A
unitary and unique "pure consciousness" offers itself up as the best candidate for ultimate Reality
or the ground of existence: it is the most harmonious integration of all possible abstract forms
while being at the same time the most concrete, logically a priori, entity.

April 1997
The distinction between that which has form and that which is formless is a distinction
which cuts across the distinction between mind and matter since one may speak of both formless
mind and formless matter.

December 1996
But there may, indeed, be no most harmonious integration as such, but an unlimited
number of progressively higher integrations. To suppose that there is some unique highest
integration would be to presume that there can be some objective rule relating lower level
manifestations of ground into a convergence. Recursive structures may only come into
existence by being distilled from other recursive structures more complex than themselves.

Particle creation at the event horizon of a black hole gives rise to a precisely thermal spectrum.
This suggests that the vacuum itself is in thermal equilibrium with itself so that the vacuum must
be continually exchanging energy with itself. Because the time rate of change of all physical
quantities depends on the existence of energy uncertainty, dq/dt = [H, q] + f[H,q], where f[H,q] is
usually written as @q/@t. On this view, quantum mechanical systems possess energy
uncertainty because they are continually perturbed by intrinsic vacuum energy fluctuations. In
this way, all mass-energy systems are in a process of constant energy exchange with the quantum
mechanical vacuum. Since all macroscopic transfers and exchanges of energy between two
points in spacetime are mediated via the submicroscopic energy exchanges occurring within the
vacuum, it follows that conservation of energy macroscopically is dependent upon conservation of
energy exchanges within the vacuum. It is not possible to distinguish different time rates of
change within a closed dynamical system. This is because such a closed system possesses only a
finite number of discrete energy levels, and when the total system is in a particular energy
eigenstate, its energy uncertainty is 0 so that there are no vacuum fluctuations available with which
to mediate changes in physical observables of the system. We may define the distance separating
two events as a function of the number of vacuum momentum fluctuations existing between the
two said events. Similarly, we may define the time interval between two such events as a function
of the number of vacuum energy fluctuations existing between the two said events. Of course, the
partitioning of the relativistic momentum - energy tensor into pure momentum versus pure energy
components is dependent upon the particular Lorenz reference frame within which one performs
the momentum and energy measurements; the converse of this is also true. Since the energy
levels at which information is stored in a neural network are defined in terms of the lowest stable
energy of the neural network as a whole, virtual energy transitions between these energy levels
presuppose a coupling between the wavefunctions describing the quantum mechanical states of all
of the individual neurons of the network in the sense of their being nonlocally connected.

It is the spontaneous coherence in which the neural network is embedded which provides
the ultimate context within which the neurological events are to be interpreted. This coherent
field is that of the nonlocally connected vacuum electromagnetic fluctuation field. The many
worlds interpretation of the quantum measurement problem may be understood as a reversal in
causal relationship between the uncollapsed wavefunction representing the mind of the observer
and the uncollapsed wavefunction representing the potentialities of the quantum mechanical
system being observed by this mind in the following manner: when the observer notes the
collapse of the wavefunction with respect to an observable he is attempting to measure, what is
actually occurring is the collapse of the wavefunction describing the observers mind so that it (the
observer's mind) now abstracts from the Weltall one particular eigenvalue of the object
wavefunction, but without inducing a collapse of the object wavefunction itself. Without a God's
eye view of Reality in which to ground these complementary possibilities, there is not legitimate
distinction, which can be made between them. One might ask what is the fundamental difference
between these two interpretations if there is not some third realm, independent of both the
observer's and object wavefunctions in terms of which one interpretation might be favored over the
other as being ontologically prior. This third realm belongs neither to that of causality (the
mutual interaction of collapsed wavefunctions), nor to that of contingency (the interaction of
collapsed with uncollapsed wavefunctions, and vice versa), but to that realm constituted solely by
the mutual interaction of all uncollapsed wavefunctions. This realm we may refer to as the
composite contingency - necessity manifold or continuum.

There is an exactly parallel assimilation between the category space - time with our
category of necessity - contingency. In this way we may realize that the concepts of locality and
nonlocality constitute a distinction that cuts across that constituted by the polar concepts chance
and necessity, time and space. There is chaos, Heraclitus' ever-living fire, the dynamic substance
out of which all forms are derived. Then there are the forms, themselves, both actual and
potential. But there is a third factor, if you will, and it is whatever power extracts these forms
from the flux. This power possesses the freedom of the flux, but also the order of all those forms
which it is capable of extracting, or, rather, abstracting from this flux, and so is not contained
within either category, that of order and that of chaos.

Epicurus writes to au=Heroditus
that . . . we must admit that nothing can come of that which does not exist; for were the fact
otherwise, then everything would be produced from everything, and there would be no need of any
seed. Now the great relevance of
au=
Epicurus notion of the essential importance of a seed to us
is that there is indeed a third power apart from
au=
Monods chance and necessity and that this
power is information. Information is abstract in that there are endless open-ended means of
encoding information as data. We say this with the express understanding that information is
never exhaustively determined by data, but context is always required in addition to the awareness
and intention by which a set of abstract relations was enacted when the information was originally
encoded. (By the way, there must be a converse process to abstraction, i.e.,
au=
Whiteheads
concretion.) The material medium in which information is encoded as data can never be uniquely
associated with said information, except by an arbitrary act (arbitrary from the standpoint of
determinism), that is, by assignment and convention, not to mention interpretation wherein new
information is engendered from old via the operation of metaphor (reprocessing of information
native to one context within a distinctly different context). If there is an evolutionary process
which profits by being graced with a preexistent infrastructure of the very subtlest of data
processing machinery which is suited to operate (by imposing initial and boundary conditions)
upon a medium, then the question becomes whether this medium must itself be creatively dynamic
in the sense of self-organizing, or if merely the presence of a sufficient density of relic
information encoded within the mediums fundamental processes should provide sufficient grist
for an upward evolutionary process.

According to the molecular biologist,
au=
Stuart Kauffman, the evolvability of dynamic
systems is maximized precisely on the boundary between the system's chaotic and orderly
regimes, far from system equilibrium. Good is that which enhances creativity which is the
explicit expression of implicit integral wholeness. Evil constitutes that which seeks to destroy,
confuse, disintegrate as well as to impair the expression of unity and wholeness through creativity.
All creativity is in reality re-creativity (of God).

The probability spectrum of a given wavefunction may be underdetermined so that there
exists an unlimited number of ways in which an ensemble of measurements of the eigenstates of
the wavefunction with respect to a particular observable may sum together so that the
wavefunction appears perfectly normalized; this property may permit an additional degree of
freedom within quantum mechanical virtual processes not previously suspected to exist.

Probability density conservation in 4-dimensional spacetime is at the heart of the
underlying physical mechanism for gravitation that we are proposing. For instance, the
gravitational reddening of starlight may be simply explained in terms of this concept of probability
(density) conservation. Probability conservation is the most general statement of the principle of
causality. There is an absolute simultaneity, which mental events distinctly enjoy due to the fact
that they do not admit of perspective; if anything they constitute perspective. However, the order
in which neurophysiological occurrences occur (in the brain) is at least partially dependent upon
the reference frame (in the relativistic sense) that these events occur (as observables). There must
be an embedding of these neural events in a substrate, which extends beyond the merely
neurophysiological in order for a reference frame to be defined in which there can arise a
correspondence between subjective and objective simultaneities. The nonlocally connected
vacuum electromagnetic field offers itself as the prime candidate for this embedding substrate.

If metaphysical dualism is false in the strict sense of there existing two distinct and parallel
fundamental processes, one physical, the other mental, but if this doctrine is nevertheless true in
the less restrictive sense of there actually existing mental and physical realms which are not
distinct but somehow mutually interacting, then it is in principle impossible to formalize the
operation of mind.

It is quite true what many psychologists (as well as lay persons) have noted concerning the
tendency of a task to become executable without the aid of conscious attention the more and more
that it is performed. However, what has not perhaps been widely noted by either is the somewhat
contrary tendency for one to become more, rather than less, aware of the abstract operations lying
behind the performance of a task in new contexts where the specific concrete operations
constituting the task would never otherwise suggest themselves. This tendency for us to become
aware of the abstract operations specific to one particular oft-repeated task within a context
normally foreign to it, or at least for our performances of operations within new previously
unrelated contexts to be guided by these abstract operations, I refer to as operational modulation -
or op-mod, for short. What we are calling op-mod may be alternately thought of as the
manipulation of something in terms of an operational metaphor; it is itself the very essence of the
human tool-using intelligence, and may be considered to be a general property of any neural
network-computing device.

More specifically, op-mod is peculiar to the problem solving strategy of the neural network
device because the specific neural circuits which are utilized by such a network for solving one
particular "problem" will necessarily overlap with neural circuits which are being established in
the course of attempting to solve similar problems in new extraneous contexts.

The existence of the ground of Reality consists exhaustively in its very activity.
Consequently, that which creates this ground is that which sustains this ground; from which further
follows the truth of Leibniz's principle that, "the conditions sufficient to create the world are
necessary at every succeeding moment to sustain its existence."

But the implications of quantum mechanics as pertains to what is called the quantum vacuum
conceived of as the naturalistic interpretation of the ground of being in the application of this
concept to induced gravity theory or effective field theories of gravity and inertia may suggest that
Leibniz principle must break down in connection with the fundamental quantum-thermodynamic
phenomenon of environmental decoherence.^^
March 2011
Decoherence is witness to the fact that
the conduit of communication between the quantum system and its supporting vacuum state does
not possess enough bandwidth for the system to update itself in real time, hence the
relatedness of gravitational decoherence and gravitational time dilation.

We know that there has to have always been something in existence and so the ground of Reality
must be self-sustaining, and hence, self-creating. It follows that the ground of existence
necessarily exists, and so is eternal. All possibility ultimately lies dormant within that which
necessarily exists. In the language of quantum mechanics, every determinate eigenstate with
respect to a particular physical observable may be alternately represented as a series of eigenstates
with respect to an indeterminate physical observable incompatible with the first.

December 1996
When one conceives of some universal substance or "stuff" which does not depend on
any activity for its existence, one is conceiving of something, which is at once a form and a
substance. One is conceiving of a substance, which is a particular determination of it, which
possesses greatest generality.

Hermann Weyl notes in his book, "The Open World," that the state of a two-electron system is not
determined by the state of each individual electron added together, but that the states of each
electron may be deduced from the state of the two-electron system.

Leibniz's series: 1 - 1/3 + 1/5 - 1/7 + 1/9 - 1/11 + . . . , does not converge when the terms are
rearranged into a sum of the following two sequences: (1 + 1/5 + 1/9 + . . . +) + ( -1/3 - 1/7 - 1/11
- . . . ). This is a rather common property of what are called alternating infinite sequences. This
property is very mysterious, but can be made to seem less so if one pictures each term of the
sequence as a numbered bead on a string. A finite number of terms of the series may be
rearranged arbitrarily to produce the identical sum, and this may be thought to be possible simply
because the string, being finite in length, permits the removal, and hence, rethreading of all the
beads onto the string in any arbitrary order. However, given an infinite number of beads, the
string is now itself infinite in length and so it is no longer possible to remove the beads so as to put
them into a new order.

@?
The order of the beads may only be changed into that represented by the two sums provided that
the original string is cut, and this changes the topological relationship of the beads; in a finite
sequence the order of the terms (beads) may be rearranged without altering the topological
relationship of the beads. Herein lies the irreversibility of the procedure. It is also interesting to
note that Leibniz' series converges to the value of pi/4 because the value of convergence is itself an
irrational number possessing a decimal expansion which possesses no determinate order whatever
so that what we have is an equation between an irrational number and an infinite sum of rational
numbers, on the one hand, and, on the other hand, an equation holding between an infinite sum of
terms possessing a mathematically determinate sequential order with respect to a simple
mathematical operation, namely, addition, and an infinite sum of terms possessing no
mathematically determinable sequential order - no sequential order with respect to any definable
mathematical operation. We may suspect that Cantor's argument for the existence of what he
calls nondenumerable infinity, i.e., the famous "diagonal argument," can be applied to the decimal
expansion of pi to show that this sequence of decimal fractions itself constitutes a nondenumerable
set of rational numbers. What is interesting here is that no possible rearrangement of the
indeterminate sequence of nondenumerable rational numbers constituting the decimal expansion
of pi will produce an irrational which diverges although there do exist rearrangements of the terms
of Leibniz' series which diverge. From this simple fact we may deduce that there is no infinite
sequence of denumerably infinite subsets of terms taken from Leibniz' series, on the left hand side
of our equation, which will produce a one-to-one correspondence with the individual rational
numbers of the infinite sequence of rational numbers in the decimal expansion of pi.
July 2011
Although theres a kernel idea here that requires further development, its obvious that by what has
just been noted about Leibniz series reveals that pi has a topological structure. Does the
topology of the real line, namely that it has one imply that the infinite real line must possess some
kind of closed loop structure?

Godel has stated that his incompleteness theorem applies only to logico-deductive systems more
powerful than that represented by arithmetic (Peano Arithmetic). This is because the proof of the
theorem is based on the Godel-numbering procedure, where each operator, as well as all the
symbols utilized by the system, are represented by Godel numbers, while all of the logical
operations of the system are defined in terms of arithmetic operations. So we may say that
arithmetic is definable within all so-called Godelian deductive systems. The domain of all
arithmetical operations is a domain devoid of topological structure. Self-referential propositions
introduce a topological structure into the domain of proof.

Rational numbers are the sums of convergent infinite series where the order in which the terms of
the series appear does not affect the value of the sum. We may say in this case that rational
numbers occupy a number field possessing arithmetic, or null, topological structure. Irrational
numbers, on the other hand, are the sums of infinite series, which may diverge if the order in which
the terms of the series appear are altered. We may say that the irrational numbers occupy a
number field possessing a topological structure. The degrees of freedom required for certain
reactions, or interactions, to take place, are only allowable within a space of large enough
dimensionality to accommodate them. The unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics within the
physical sciences, borrowing the famous phrase of the quantum physicist Eugene Wigner, is owing
to the radically and, perhaps, infinitely, overdetermined nature of natural phenomena. To wit,
sensory data are grossly insufficient to determine uniquely the information structures with which
they are interpreted and explained. A genuinely recursive system may only be derived from a
recursive system equally or more complex than itself, or if the recursive system is "constructed"
out of simpler recursive elements, the control system effecting or mediating the process of
construction is, itself, a recursive system, of greater complexity than the system being constructed.
The information content of a particular structure is defined by the degree of preciseness to which
the system approximates its intentional object. This definition is best understood in terms of the
"shattered hologram" metaphor. A molecule belonging to a complementary molecule pair, two
molecules which naturally hydrogen-bond to one another, favors the spontaneous self-assembly
(from locally available components) of the molecule to which it bears a topologically
complementary relationship. More generally, the spontaneous self-assembly of molecules is
favored by a vacuum containing energy resonances complementary to those upon which the
molecule's energy structure depends for its sustained existence. On this view, the quantum
vacuum electromagnetic field may be thought of as a kind of dynamic template which "informs"
certain simple molecules "how to self-assemble," with these simple molecules acting as complex
waveguides receptive, or sensitive to, a certain tiny portion of the spectrum of electromagnetic
frequencies originating from within this vacuum.

July 2011
An important question in this connection is whether there are contingent conditions for the
emergence of altogether new structures? And whether there is no contradiction in the dynamical
substrate of the quantum vacuum being able to support and sustain emergent structures that it is
nonetheless unable to anticipate? Another way to put this is: can open-ended conditions be
posited for irreducibly complex structures to boot strap themselves into existence? Here the
dynamical substrate is intelligent, creative, however not all-knowing. Here also, the complex
structures engendered are irreducibly complex, however this is in the absence of intelligent design,
as only intelligent recognition is required. The teleology bespoken by the emergence of
irreducibly complex structures in one temporal dimension can be given a causal explanation
through the operation of feedback structures in higher dimensions of time.
Septermber 2011
There are
two fundamentally disparate concepts of intelligent design: the one, such a biochemist or
molecular biologist, applies design concepts derived wholly from his study of already available
biological structures and systems, the other is in the case of a demiurge or deity who develops a
system or structure by directly lifting it out of chaos, calling it out of the inchoate flux of
open-ended possibilities.

If what might be called
prn=
time-scale reductionism (TSR) constitutes a fundamentally false
understanding of the dynamics of natural phenomena, then the traditional philosophical view of
time as possessing only a single dimension must be abandoned. Time-scale reductionism says,
simply, that events taking place over a certain time interval are owing exclusively to events taking
place over intervals of time smaller than and contained within the first time interval, which are in
turn dependent upon events occurring over smaller time intervals, and so on.
July 2011
The
phenomena of quantum entanglement and teleportation, particularly within the transactional
interpretation of quantum mechanics, c.f., Cramer, appear to flout the principle of TSR. One
ready example of the failure of TSR is the case of
prn=
historical time. In the case of historical
time, there is a critical window of opportunity within which certain events must transpire if
certain significant changes or revolutions, e.g., cultural, social, political are to occur.
Paradoxically, the sensitivity to initial conditions of the timeline goes hand-in-hand with the
timelines robustness, c.f., the misguided, awkward and ultimately unsuccessful attempts of
future time travelers to meddle with the timeline. More broadly, events in a historical sequence
do not merely cause each other or concatenate as in a blind causal sequence of events, but events in
the historical process echo as well as anticipate events in the past and future, respectively.
Clearly it is due to historical events both creating and reacting to a temporal context, which makes
this type of determination in time possible. And here it is obvious that the temporal context is
only efficacious if it is also meaningful, which implies the operation of consciousness in both its
individual and collective forms. Quantum entanglement may be understood as causality
operating collectively rather than merely individually as in the case of classical physics. We
should be mindful here that what is called thermodynamics is merely a collective description of
particles acting individually according to Newtonian mechanics and which does not invoke any
new concept of causality.
October 2011
It may turn out that we shall only succeed in developing a
concept of consciousness for the individual by borrowing from the theory of the consciousness
of the collective. If individual consciousness is not a metaphysical entity, i.e., substance, but is
instead a social construct, then the philosophical quest to solve Chalmers hard problem of
consciousness shall be seen to have been all along the pursuit of a red herring. Contrary to what
most people believe, nobody has ever been or had a self. But it is not just that the modern
philosophy of mind and cognitive neuroscience together are about to shatter the myth of the self. It
has now become clear that we will never solve the philosophical puzzle of consciousnessthat is,
how it can arise in the brain, which is a purely physical objectif we dont come to terms with this
simple proposition: that to the best of our current knowledge there is no thing, no indivisible entity,
that is us, neither in the brain nor in some metaphysical realm
beyond this world. So when we speak of conscious experience as a subjective phenomenon, what
is the entity having these experiences?, The Ego Tunnel: The Science of the Mind and the Myth of
the Self (Metzinger).

au=
John Searle, the linguist and philosopher, has stated that formal computational systems are
incapable of consciousness because such formal systems do not effectively exploit the causal
powers of computation available for utilization by the human brain. Since the causal powers of
matter, as Searle terms them, stem from what is forever spontaneously occurring in the natural
realm at the very smallest dimensions of time and space, the process of abstraction, itself founded
upon the systematic ignorance of finer details of structure and function, introduces a kind of
built-in blockheadedness into systems of "artificial intelligence" which are physically realized
from relatively macroscopic and "insensitive" component parts, in accordance with "analytically
closed-form" designs.

Vacuum fluctuations which are simultaneous in one reference frame (Lorenz frame) will not
necessarily be simultaneous in other frames. This theoretical implication of special relativity for
quantum mechanics, combined with the fact that the energy density of the quantum vacuum is
decreasing with time as the universe expands, leads us to deduce that, not only is the density of the
quantum vacuum different in different Lorenz frames, but so is its time rate of decrease.

I do not think that Hugh Everett's many worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics is consistent
with the implications of quantum experiments which have been performed in the last few decades
since the time (1957) when he originally proposed his interpretation of quantum theory. In
Everett's theory, the collapse of the wavefunction is interpreted as a sudden, discontinuous
branching of the observer from one parallel universe, where the wavefunction is uncollapsed, to a
new parallel universe where the wavefunction exists in one of its component eigenstates. From
this do we suppose that all of the collapsed wavefunctions within our universe owe their existence
to observations made by quantum physicist doing experiments in other universes?
April 2013
Physicalism or realism is just one interpretation among myriad competing interpretations of
quantum mechanics. Although scientific positivism hasnt succeeded in abolishing metaphysics, it
perhaps has managed to contain metaphysics to the spectrum of possible interpretations of
quantum mechanics.

Enantiomer molecules, that is, molecules which were once thought to be identical in every way
except that they are the mirror reflection of each other, have recently been generally found to differ
in respect to their binding energies. So-called "right-handed" molecules, such as the amino acids,
D-tyrosine, D-glutamine, etc., have been found to posses smaller binding energies (and hence are
less stable) than their mirror image counterparts, the L - series amino acids of the same names.
Given the existence of a spatial fourth dimension, it is possible to convert a right-handed molecule
into its identical left-handed counterpart by pulling the molecule into 4 - space and rotating it 180
o

against the hyperplane (normal to) and returning the molecule to its original position within this 3
- hypersurface. This would suggest the existence of a preferential curl field acting within this four
dimensional continuum in a direction opposing the rotation of an L - molecule and aiding the
rotation of a R - molecule. This mechanism would be one logical way to account for the observed
differences in the binding energies of identical L - and R - molecules. But such imagined
hyperdimensional rotations must be seen to be only a metaphor for a re-creation of the molecule
into its mirror-reversed double. This is because the metric of Minkowski spacetime is not
positive definite, but negative definite. Information is neither created nor destroyed; information
is always conserved, and when it appears to be created, being re-expressed within another medium
is merely transducing it.

There are myriad different media through which portions of the eternally pre-existent information
may be expressed, but there exists a primary medium which contains all information originally.
All other media through which information might be expressed are ultimately dependent upon this
primary information medium. In the same way that the transduction of energy from one medium,
say mechanical, to another medium, say electrical, is always accompanied by a loss of a portion of
the transduced energy as heat energy (whereby entropy is increased), some information is always
lost in the transduction of information from the primary medium to other secondary media. For
this reason, no informational systems or structures are permitted to come into being which possess
an information density greater than that of the volume which they occupy, this volume being
pervaded by energy in its primary form (vacuum energy). In the same way, there is a limit to the
mass-energy density of any particular volume of spacetime; this limit is that specified by
Schwarzchild's equation for the energy density of black holes. The information which is
inevitably lost as a result of the transduction of information from the primary medium to secondary
media simply passes back into the primary medium.

July 1998
Information cannot be independent of the medium in which it is expressed. Data, on the
other hand, are independent of the medium in which they are expressed.

March 1998
The pre-existence and transduction of information are not logically self-consistent
notions. Pre-existence implies something which is continually a part of the temporal progression
of the whole but which itself remains latent and changeless. Transduction of information also
implies a contradictory context-freedom for information. For the transduction of information
implies that, like energy, no information is gained or lost in its "changing form" as it passes from
one medium through another and then to another, and so on. This is to say that the media carrying
information contribute nothing to the content of this information. And this is also to say that
information is always abstract and is constituted by relationships. One then might ask, what is it
then which differentiates information from mere data - or are they synonymous? Data and
information may be understood as constituting a merely relative distinction. What is meant by
this is that what are data in one context may be information in a larger one and information in a
smaller context. In other words, information is data interpreted in light of context while data in
this same context function as information with respect to smaller subcontexts contained therein.
Since information are context-dependent, it would follow that all information possess a
characteristic lifetime rather analogous to a the half-life of radioactive isotopes.

The law of the temporal evolution of information systems is provided by the pre-existing spatial
distribution of information. The determinate is dependent upon the indeterminate. The finite
exists only through its participation with the infinite. All transformations are definable in terms of
mere projection operations; therefore, these transformations, when investigated, always reveal the
presence of conservation laws which seem to govern, or provide constraints upon, these
transformations.

What is called the unity of apperception in Kant's Critique of Pure Reason is synonymous with the
existence of the underlying noumenon, which provides the rationality of any particular series of
perceived continuous transformations entertained within a finite mind. The interpenetration of
the categories of time and space support the unity of apperception.

October 1997
A functionalist theory of mind must presuppose a decomposition of spacetime into a
particular "3 + 1" configuration of absolute space and absolute time. It must do this in order to
define the boundary between what are merely input-output operations and what constitute
operations of the processing of inputted data/information into outputted data/information. We
may understand the distinction between information and data to be simply this: information are
data placed in context and interpreted in light of this context; data are information taken out of
context, that is to say, data are simply context-free information. Now in order for information to
be passed from one person (or subjectivity) to another, information which the one person intends
to convey to the other must be translated, or more aptly, perhaps, converted into context-free data.

Although there is not such distinction as subjective versus intersubjective data, we may support
such a distinction for information. Intersubjective information may be understood as information
which two or more persons may hold in common with one another due to similarities in the nature
of the mental boundary conditions, if you will, which act upon their respective consciousnesses.
Subjective information may be understood as information which is private to each person and
therefore cannot be held in common between different subjectivities. Different consciousness are
not all exemplars of consciousness itself, or consciousness at large, by virtue of each individual
consciousness possessing one or more general qualities in common with one another for this
would be to presuppose that different individual consciousnesses are simply different structurings
of a single fundamental consciousness.

If we suppose that the constituting of each individual subjective spatiotemporal continuum
assumes the prior existence of an objective, as opposed to an absolute, spatio-temporal continuum,
and that this objective space and time are, in turn, constituted out of the activity of some
fundamental consciousness, then each individual consciousness, or ego, is merely one particular
structuring of the fundamental and unitary consciousness among many other such possible
structurings.

Temporality presupposes the givenness of Space. Duration, however, does not presuppose the
givenness of Space. Temporality pertains to the evolution of things existing within a particular
space. The temporal evolution of a particular spacetime treats this spacetime as though it is itself
a "thing." The local temporal evolution of spacetime, which is an admissible concept within
classical general relativity, is not reducible to the temporal evolution of entities and their mutual
spatial relations within this spacetime. Temporality pertains to changes occurring to the system
boundary conditions. Duration pertains to changes of the system including the changes to the
system boundary conditions. Within temporality, the rate at which a sequence of events or
evolution takes place cannot be determined; temporality and duration are required for this.
Temporality is duration plus deterministic causal relations taking place within a particular
spacetime frame of reference.

May 1997
And this is perhaps another important distinction which can be made between the
subjective (mental) and the objective (physical): in subjectivity, the forms of time and space are
fused and continuous with one another. Communication between different subjectivities, that is,
intersubjectivity which is objectivity, requires that the fused spatiotemporality of each subjectivity
be decomposed into separate space and time dimensions within the realm of the objective.

The increase in complexity of coherent systems with time would seem to involve the creation ex
nihilo of quantities of information. There are reasons for believing, however, that what is really
involved in cases such as this is merely the partial redistribution of data along a spatial information
gradient onto a gradient which is part spatial and part temporal where the total quantity of
information is conserved in the process. With the introduction of excitation energy, the nonlocal,
distributed information content is partially transformed into local, lumped information content.
The information content contained within a purely spatial manifold is nonlocally encoded through
relations of within the manifold which originate externally to it. The relations which are
constitutive of a spacetime manifold cannot be represented in terms of a distribution of relations
between localities on this manifold. No causal theory can explain the manner in which a
spacetime is constituted. A spacetime is constituted nonlocally, that is, through the operation of
nonlocally connected dynamical processes which are only partially located within this spacetime.
Is it, in principle, possible for all the neural firings which comprise the brain state to which is
associated a particular mental state to have been stimulated to occur entirely from outside the
brain's neural network, obviating the need for intricate feedback loops connecting the neurons with
one another which normally support such patterns of neuron firings? Intuitively we suspect that
merely reproducing the requisite neural firing patterns from outside the network would not be
sufficient to produce the normally occurring associated mental state. This is because the observed
neural firings would only possess a determinate order in terms of the perception of their order by
means of a neural network genuinely possessing intricate feedback structures.

We might, in turn, be puzzled by the force of this particular intuition which has at its root the
notion of the importance of timing and synchronization of the neurons with respect to one another.
But this would really only be important if there was something which the neurons incidentally
interact with in the course of their normal process of functioning to which the order of their "firing"
might be fundamentally related. We might then seek to include this additional something and
produce the changes in it also from outside, just as in the case of the neurons. Notice that in every
case where we are supposedly able to reproduce a given sequence of neural firings, we are
dependent upon a favorable condition wherein the time interval between firings within a given
small region of the brain are larger than the time uncertainty of the quantum system constituting
the neural network. We find that our earlier intuition about the problem of the timing of the events
appropriate to the establishing of the requisite brain states crops up yet again. The timing of local
causal interactions is between particular boundary conditions of, and relative to, the nonlocally
connected vacuum in which the energy uncertainties of the neural network as a quantum
mechanical system ultimately originate. There is still something with respect to which the
patterned events (comprising the requisite brain states) occur which is important from the
standpoint of timing and synchronization, and we might, therefore, again, seek to include it, just as
before. The point here is that this process of trying to include the entire background against which
the timing of the brain events are significant can never be completed; we face an infinite regress
here, or, if successful in including the entire background, then there remains nothing against which
the rate of causally sequential events or the timing of not causally, but merely correlated events
within the network may be established. This regress is apparently resolved within the quantum
mechanically uncertain time interval of the network and therefore is forever beyond manipulation
from outside, that is to say, there cannot exist a determinate program adequate to produce the
timing necessary to integrate or unify the neural firings into the requisite coherent pattern we term
consciousness. This timing is not to be understood after the normal fashion of a mechanical
timing of articulated events. For purely relative timing in the above sense does not take into
account the duration of the whole process (relative to its determining ground). Moreover, the rate
at which a sequence of causally connected physical occurrences unfolds is determined through the
availability of the spacetime constituting vacuum momentum/energy fluctuations with which the
network must continually interact. To restate, this is because the ultimate embedding substrate
of the neural network functions through interconnected events possessing a time uncertainty which
prevents their delicate synchronization from ever being introduced from outside - outside either in
the physical/spatial sense or in the purely formal sense of a design or template imposed upon the
concrete dynamical substrate through the imposition of boundary conditions. Of course, what is
called dualism is completely ruled out in the case where the brain is thought to function in a
deterministic manner. This is because the isomorphism which must maintain between brain
states and mental states precludes the possibility that these two qualitatively different types of
states are causally connected; for any effective causal interaction between the two would
necessarily disrupt the isomorphism which is presupposed by the dualistic theory of mind.

On the other hand, in the absence of causal interaction between brain states and mental states, there
is no rational basis upon which we can say that particular mental states correspond to, or belong to
a particular brain. On the other hand again, however, if dualism is rejected and causal
relationships are allowed to obtain between brain states and mental states, then both types of
events/processes must be mediated by the very same underlying substance, or substrate. In this
way, the whole distinction between what are called brain states and mental states completely
breaks down, and one is forced to adopt a monistic theory of mind. Because of the veritable
existence of temporality, we know that the fundamental dynamism mediating all physical
processes must be irreversible (in the thermodynamic sense). Consequently, the appearance of
reversibility in physical reactions, e.g., chemical, nuclear, etc., is just that, and the entities which
take part in these physical reactions/processes are fundamentally overdetermined by the
underlying dynamism grounding them, producing an underdetermination of their mutual casual
interactions which is in principle irremediable. This is due to the essential nature of causal
analysis as always being performed in terms of the laws governing the dynamical relations
between indefinitely reproducible entities.

March 1997
In the passage from one "state" to the next, a system exists momentarily in a configuration
which cannot be characterized by either, and this, no matter how finely we might seek to partition
the system's flow of change. From which, it immediately follows that, it is what is peculiar to a
dynamic system, but common to all such systems generally, which permits them to transcend a
sequential state description of the change they experience on which their ineradicable temporality
depends. Temporality, to wit, exists exclusively in the domain which transcends or lies beyond
all possible abstract descriptions. The concrete is the temporal. As we have already commented,
the medium of abstraction must not admit of an adequate description in terms of any set of abstract
categories, since the categories presuppose the existence of that which brings them forth. The
notion of historicism, in the sense provided by the theories of Marx and Weber, is conceptually
unintelligible because it assumes the existence of a distinction the validity of which it then later
denies. That is the distinction between physical causal factors and historical factors in the
explication of social, political, cultural, and economic developments. The validity of historicism
would mean that history as a science of large scale human development doesn't really work, that it
doesn't have anything substantive to say at all because the real causal efficacy behind the changes
which history has traditionally studied lies at a level of description which is at once lower and
more fundamental than that where historical explanations are articulated.

That which is the source and sustainer of all things cannot be viewed as being anything but infinite.
The paradigmatic example of this transduction process is the spontaneous production of
fundamental particles out of the vacuum within accelerated reference (non-Lorentzian) frames.

Evolution may only be a local phenomenon - not a global phenomenon; evolution in the sense of
the genuine emergence of wholly unprecedented and unanticipated forms, structures, or
dynamisms - without this process of development somehow drawing upon a pre-existing reservoir
of information within which these "emergent" forms are at least implicitly prefigured, and which
mediates and underpins the evolutionary developmental process - is tantamount to the acceptance
of a fundamental process which is itself uncaused and which is not admitted to be the cause (or
reason) for its own existence. In the vacuum, information exists in a nonlocal, simultaneously
connected form. When the vacuum energy fluctuations mediate the occurrence of physical
processes, there is a transduction of nonlocal, parallel and simultaneously connected information
into a new local, sequential, and temporally connected form. But such a transduction
phenomenon cannot take place within the pristine vacuum, that is, within the vacuum in the
absence of any action upon it even if this action ultimately arises from itself. This vacuum must
have something to react with or against; it must be "seeded." The ground of existence cannot be
outstripped by any possible existent "thing." Nonlocality presents the possibility of putting
quantum mechanical probability on a "rational" footing; in other words, a given wavefunction is
normalizable on the average. The condition of normalizability is not a very restrictive condition
on a quantum mechanical wavefunction; there are an infinite number of ways to refract or
decompose a given wavefunction into a spectrum of eigenstates (of an incompatible observable) so
as to satisfy the normalization condition.

It cannot be by way of some impossibly complex causal sequence that a thing manifests
itself as such. For instantaneous context, which cannot be analyzed in causal terms must play a
role in the act of determination. The fundamental paradigm shift which marked the transition
from classical (Newtonian) mechanics to the mechanics of quantum phenomena may be captured
in the manner in which the implied unified physical law constrains the phenomena of nature:
classical physical law states that what it prescribes to occur must necessarily occur - any behavior
apart from this being forbidden; quantum mechanical physical law states that what it does not
proscribe or forbid to occur necessarily occurs. This constitutes a kind of fecundity principle.
And the possibilities can only be defined when boundary conditions are superimposed upon the
system which in its natural state is not necessarily inclusive of any particular let of boundary
conditions. The boundary conditions upon the system are what constitutes locality. Only the
effects upon the bounded system can be measured. Causality concerns the dynamics of the
boundary conditions but cannot capture the behavior of the system in an unconditional way, that is,
in the absence of any supplied boundary conditions. If the quantum mechanical vacuum is the
origin of temporality, then the vacuum must itself be timeless, which is to say, eternal, c.f.,
Ehrenfests Theorem in which the instantaneous value of the expectation value of the operator is 0
here the instantaneous rate of change in the operator is the negative of the commutator of the
operator with the Hamiltonian. Moreover, that which is the originator of space must itself be
spatially unlimited. Human intelligence has evolved to a point just short of that required to think
something genuinely interesting. C.f., Understanding Quantum Physics by Michael A. Morrison
for a fuller explication of how temporality and Heisenberg energy uncertainty are related.

The neural network computer does not store information in any particular location within the
network, but stores information at particular energy levels of the global interaction of the network
as a whole. Each new bit of data which is fed into the network is stored at a next higher energy
level of the network. What ultimately becomes this next higher energy level is determined by a
virtually chaotic process of neural "firings" which occurs throughout the network and which is
stimulated by the introduction of a data input signal. Myriads of neurons throughout the entire
network continue to fire randomly until a new state of least energy is reached by the neural
network as a whole.

According to a kind of James-Lange theory of the operation of mind (the view of the
individual mind as kind of "reducing valve") the brain does not react to environmental stimuli in
the commonsensical way, but it is a dynamic system of resonators which are continually retuned to
new signals within the quantum vacuum electromagnetic field in response to stimuli.

But this notion of the brain acting merely as a kind of filter of vacuum signals is only part of the
story. The brain also reprocesses the vacuum signals of a spectrum peculiar to it, and it is this
reprocessed spectrum that undergoes the filtering action.

The fact that a high level of
consciousness is associated with complex neural structures does not prove that the neural
structures produce this consciousness. David Bohm

An important question is whether or not multiple brains process quantum entanglement
from the same vacuum information spectrum, putting back reprocessed and new entanglements
into this same spectrum or whether each does so only in interaction with its own, unique
signature-quantum vacuum information spectrum. If each brain only interacts with its own
vacuum information and signal spectrum, the question arises as to whether entanglement
information can be passed between consciousnesses or only signals, data and instructions, the
meaning of which is exclusively the domain of the recipient of interpersonal data. There is also
an additional distinction to be drawn between data within different regions of the same brain
versus data transmitted via physical signals passing between one brain and another.

If the separation between different energy levels within the neural network (representing different
bits of information) are close enough together in energy, then it becomes very probable that there
will be a process of continual virtual energy transitions occurring between the various discrete
energy levels of the network throughout its entirety. An interesting point here is that these virtual
energy transitions within the network owe entirely to the action of the quantum fluctuations in the
energy of the vacuum electromagnetic field. Moreover, the probabilities of given neural energy
transitions occurring within the network are determined by the presence of the constantly
occurring virtual energy transitions of the network which, again, are mediated entirely by way of
the quantum mechanical fluctuations in the vacuum electromagnetic field, themselves, owing to
the necessary presence of Heisenberg energy uncertainty within the quantum vacuum. An
essential difference between what are called virtual and what are called real energy transitions, is
parallel to the distinction between what are called virtual particles and what are called real
particles, respectively, in the theory of particle physics, namely, virtual energy transitions cannot
be measured directly, whereas real energy transitions can be measured directly, for instance, in
laboratory experiments. The real energy transitions which take place within the neural network,
and which are responsible for the communication of its processed information to the "outside
world," i.e., to the consciousness of both the individual subject as well as his listeners, in the case
of verbal communication, are, themselves, overdetermined phenomena. This is to say, there are
an indefinite number of distinct sequences of virtual energy transitions, which are capable of
producing the very same real energy transition within the neural network. This assertion reminds
us of Feynmans sum of histories formalism for calculating the probabilities of fundamental
particle reactions. If it were not for the existence of energy degeneracy within the neural network,
there would be only one path of neural firings possible connecting one energy level of the network
to the next higher one.

The operation of a neural network would in this case be formalizable in the form of a computer
algorithm. Thus is the way to what is called intentionality opened up and made possible: the very
same determinate sequence of neural firings may have an unlimited number of alternative future
brain states in view, in other words. It is interesting to note that the interaction of the virtual
energy states of the neural network is not mediated primarily by the physical realization of the
network itself, but by the next highest order of perturbations to the energy of the neural network.
What we have been calling "virtual energy transitions," are really only the first order perturbations
to the global energy of the neural network, conceived of as a quantum mechanical system. The
first order perturbations, what we have been calling, "virtual transitions" within the network, are
themselves, informed or mediated by, the quantum mechanical perturbations to the first order
perturbation energies of the network, i.e., 2nd order energy perturbations, thus making the first
order perturbations overdetermined phenomena as well. In turn, the second order perturbation
energy transitions (what might whimsically be called, virtual - virtual energy transitions) are
mediated by the occurrence of transitions between second order perturbation energies, etc., and so
on. At this point we might realize that the real energy transitions occurring within the neural
network which are normally thought to be immediately responsible for the processing of all
information by the network, are engendered not by physical processes occurring at a lower level of
organization, but via processes taking place at higher levels of organization, represented by the
next higher order perturbation energy description of the neural network. We know that the virtual
energy transitions of any given quantum mechanical system are owing to the presence of energy
uncertainty in the system. It is more accurate, however, to say that this energy uncertainty is
present in the quantum vacuum itself, and is merely communicated to the quantum system, of
interacting elementary particles, say, through the exchange of energy between the quantum system
and the vacuum, which is itself where the energy uncertainty originates; we saw earlier that the
wavefunction describing a quantum mechanical system cannot be normalized if the energy
uncertainty is conceived of as being a property of the quantum system itself, so that it must be an
inherent property of the quantum vacuum.

So perhaps we see now that the neural network itself acts merely as a kind of terminus to an
information reduction process, it acts as a kind of "reducing valve" which serves to abstract a
relatively tiny portion of information from the virtually infinite information content of the
overdetermined quantum vacuum which is instantaneously and nonlocally connected with itself,
and therefore represents the highest level of information processing because it constitutes the
interconnectivity of energy at its most exhaustive level. On this view, information, like energy,
may not be created or destroyed, but is a conserved quantity, and its ultimate source is the infinite
energy reservoir represented by the quantum vacuum. We already saw how Temporality itself
stems from the presence of quantum energy uncertainty, which, in turn, originates in the vacuum,
conceived of, again, as a reservoir of virtually infinite energy density. Consequently, since
Temporality itself has its origin in the vacuum, it follows that the this infinite sea of vacuum
energy itself had no beginning in time! The vacuum now begins to remind us of Heraclitus'
"ever living fire," "in measures kindling and in measures going out," and thereby mediating, as an
eternal flux, all the changes continually taking place in the natural order. Moreover, Heraclitus'
statement that, "everything is an exchange for fire, and fire an exchange for every thing," reminds
us the interconvertibility of mass and energy in quantum relativistic field theory, this
interconvertibility being mediated by the continual exchange of energy between matter and
vacuum. Heraclitus' "ever living fire" is to him the fire of the gods, yet uncreated by the gods.
His statement that "Thunderbolt steers the Universe" no doubt refers to the thunderbolt wielded by
Zeus, the greatest of all the Olympian gods; when this thunderbolt is identified with "the fire of the
gods," that is, with Heraclitus' ever living fire, the parallel between it and the vacuum becomes an
intriguingly close one; the quantum vacuum, by eternally mediating all physical processes,
manages to "steer the Universe." It is also interesting that Greek mythology tells us that Time
owes its existence to Chaos through that fact that the god, Chaos, is named as the father of Kronos.
Moreover, the Greek word, arche, which means source or origin in ancient Greek, is translated into
Latin as principium, i.e., ordering principle. The idea behind this particular translation of arche
into principium is the same one expressed by
au=
Leibniz, when he states in his
cit=
Monadology
that, "the conditions sufficient to create the world are necessary at every succeeding moment of
time in order to sustain the world's existence." We now arrive at the notion of first cause, not in
the usual sense of first in a temporal sequence, but in the at once broader and subtler sense of most
fundamental or substantive. Given such a reality, the author concludes that human mentality
evolved in bottom-up fashion, with mind-associated neuronal systems not so much creating mind
as organizing a pre-existing propensity for awareness into useful,
functional awareness, and providing for its modulation by useful information, c.f.,

Implications of a Fundamental Consciousness (1998) by

Copthorne MacDonald.

Since it is the pattern of virtual particle emission and absorption which every real particle
continually undergoes which determines the mass of the particle, it follows that real particle
masses are determined through the particular manner in which real particles exchange energy with
the fluctuating quantum vacuum field; consequently, alterations in the density of the vacuum field
energy will affect the masses of particles occupying this vacuum. We might expect that this
relationship between mass-energy and vacuum-energy is symmetrical in nature because the
interactions mediating the continual exchange of energy between matter and vacuum are
themselves reversible interactions.

November 1996
The quantum vacuum energy fluctuations collectively, as we have seen, may be
understood as the first cause of the world in the more fundamental sense of sustainer of all of the
structures ultimately deriving from it in that the quantum vacuum is the originator of temporality.
Matter does not possess a genuine substantial existence since its energy is forever being
replenished by the vacuum fluctuations continually interacting with it, much in the same manner as
a particular spot in a river is continually replenished with new waters so that, as Heraclitus says,
one cannot step twice into the same place within it. This two-way causal, symmetrical
relationship between mass energy and vacuum energy within quantum field theory reminds us of a
similar relationship between mass and space-time curvature within the theory of general relativity:
the presence of mass within a given region of spacetime produces an additional curvature in this
spacetime; also, an increase in the curvature of a particular region of spacetime produces an
increase in the mass of particles or material bodies already occupying this region. Since
spatio-temporal variations in the energy density of the vacuum energy field are correlated with
variations in spacetime curvature, we might suppose that some sort of conformal mapping
relationship obtains between the ratio of real particle to virtual particle energy densities and the
degree of mutual inclination of the time and space axes ( of the Minkowski light cone ) to one
another. This relationship is also suggested by the fact that real particles are virtual particles
which have been promoted to the level of real existence through the absorption of energy; particles
are excitations of the vacuum state which is itself a reservoir or sea of virtual particles. Also,
through the application Mach's formula for the speed of sound to this vacuum energy reservoir, we
see that such a conformal mapping relationship between Einsteinian space-time curvature and
spatial-temporal variations in the zero-point energy of the vacuum (or, alternatively, its energy
density) must involve mappings between the hypersolid angle swept out by the light line in
four-dimensional (Minkowski ) spacetime, and the energy density (or pressure) of the vacuum.

We must distinguish between evolution's creative and its critical faculties. Adaptation is not the
purpose of evolution; it is the trial and error critical process which evolution is subjected to by the
contingent environmental conditions within which it finds itself operating. Darwinian natural
selection is merely a critical process; it is not in any way a creative process, in and of itself.
Natural selection merely structures, channels or filters the creative suggestions made to it; it plays
no role whatever in the fundamental dynamism driving biological evolution; natural selection is
merely the set of boundary conditions within which the dynamism of evolution functions, perhaps
in the sense of Bergson's elan vital. Here again, we have an example of how boundary and initial
conditions are essentially separable from the dynamisms which they conscribe. Similar remarks
were made regarding the process of technological advancement, which was viewed as a
progression in sophistication in imposing initial and boundary conditions upon the invariant and
unitary dynamism of Nature. We know that natural selection is not able to operate unless
self-reproducing information-bearing structures are already in existence; moreover, natural
selection has little opportunity to mold these self-reproducing structures into more complex
forms unless it can profit from the creative suggestions made to it through the operation of random
mutations, themselves useless if they cannot be passed on to future offspring. So it is also
necessary that something analogous to a genetic code be contained within these self-reproducing
structures, themselves the expression of the information contained within this genetic code.

The problem, then, with Darwinism, or its modern derivative, neo-Darwinism, is that a great deal
of evolutionary development must have already occurred, in the form of so-called chemical
evolution prior to the appearance of the first self-reproducing, information bearing structures,
before the distinctly Darwinian process of natural selection of random mutations is permitted to
begin. So the creative dynamism, spoken of previously, is to be identified with that dynamism
lying behind the prebiotic process of chemical evolution, a process which does not halt its
operation once the Darwinian process of evolution commences, but which continues hand in hand
with natural selection, and, moreover, maintaining its central role as the motivating dynamism in
the evolution of progressively more complex forms of life. The subjective "I am," which is just
the individual's personal consciousness, dependent upon the objective world outside itself, is not to
be confused with the objective "I AM," (see
au=
Nisargadatta Maharajs Book,
cit=
I AM THAT),
which is the one and unique self-existent Consciousness which is the source of all individual
subjective consciousnesses.

It is the quite common type of fantasy, frequently indulged in by proud and vain human mortals, to
imagine oneself in some glorious situation where one is either vindicated, suddenly elevated in
greatness (or suddenly shown to have been great) or rendered, usually by one's own efforts,
victorious or triumphant over some powerful adversity or persecution, or moreover, to receive
praise and adulation from the many as one speaks, performs or otherwise acts in a manner which
compellingly displays ones authority. We human beings indulge in this kind of fantasization a
great deal when we are children, perhaps more so when developing adolescents, while some of us,
upon becoming "adults," tend as we approach middle age to set aside, eventually completely, such
obvious puerile self-glorifications of the imagination. Some of us, on the other hand, never seem
to put such self-gloried imaginings behind us, despite advancing age and maturity. Everyone
has either heard of or reflected upon the phenomenon of selfishness exhibited in the strong
tendency we all have of seeking out (in secret, of course) from a pack of family photographs, those
particular photos in which we ourselves appear. Eventually, we become aware of the
implications of this kind of behavior, which shames us: if everyone were to be this self-centered,
then there would be no one left to care for me as much as (or more than) I care for myself and I
would be a selfish person alone in a universe of selfish persons. Of course, part of one's
motivation for thinking in this way, perhaps unbeknownst to oneself, is the Kantian notion of the
Golden Rule; to wit, that I must act in such a manner that I will that my action become a universal
moral law. But what of the phenomenon where I imagine myself being some other person
when I am in the midst of some profound or deeply moving aesthetic or intellectual experience; I
imagine what this experience would be like for this other person and somehow the intensity and
wonder of the experience is amplified for me, myself, through this psychological projection. Part
of the augmentation of the aesthetic experience for me is the sense of personal, if partly
disembodied glory which redounds to my sense of identity because it is I who am leading this
person, in my mind's eye, to the unaccustomed though fuller appreciation of this experience.
Partly again, the experience is, for me, augmented because I borrow the other's innocence, using it
as a foil against which the experience may be rediscovered by me in all its aboriginal wonder.
Moreover, I act as this person's spiritual mentor; I help this person penetrate a mystery which I
have long ago discovered for myself, and if this other person is ultimately identified with my own
self; this is implied because all of these projections occur within my mind's eye, then I seek to view
myself as the father of my own future spiritual and intellectual development.

But on a more basic human level, I am imagining the sharing of a profound idea or experience with
another person in a way which is seldom, if ever demonstrated in actual social intercourse with my
fellow human beings; certainly it is love which motivates this peculiar psychological projection -
the kind of love which does not distinguish self from other.

I have no acquaintance with either physical objects so-called nor with any phenomena taking place
within the domain of other minds; in fact, I have had no acquaintance with any phenomena
whatever other than those pertaining to my own psychological states, states which are presumably
closely related to the concerted electrochemical activity of my billions of cortical neurons.
Consequently, I am forced to accept the existence of physical objects and other minds purely on a
faith borne of appearances, which might be easily explained numerous other ways than those,
which seem to be dictated by what is called "common sense." I wish to remark here that if an
omniscient (not to mention omnipotent) God fails to exist who is, by the way, the only possible
vouchsafe for the existence of an objective world containing other consciousnesss than my own,
then there is absolutely nothing standing in the way of my drawing the less than comforting
conclusion that I alone exist, i.e., Solipsism is the metaphysical truth, and moreover, there is
absolutely nothing standing in the way of my concluding that I, myself, am ultimately responsible
for all the phenomena which I have experienced or ever will experience and that God does indeed
exist and that I am Him. But of course, I wholeheartedly reject such a preposterous conclusion:
solipsism is a thesis, which I must reject out of hand and with it the proposition that God does not
exist. What I have just stated above is by no means a rational proof of the existence of God. But
it is an argument, which reflects the inner logic of the whole of my being in its ineluctable
affirmation of His existence from which I have not the strength to depart. The very structure of
language contains within itself the subtle presupposition that all human beings possess the belief,
whether they
@$
consciously realize it or not, that the sum total of possible knowledge is integral.
But this hypothesis about the inherently integral nature of knowledge implies, in turn, the
existence of a unitary repository for this sum of knowledge one that is by its very nature (because
knowledge cannot be static), which is to say, a universal mind or intellect. It occurs to me that
all true mysteries are intimately connected and intertwined with one another; to find the solution to
only one of these mysteries would mean having found the answer to all, since in the case of solving
either it was necessary to trace back to the same common origin.

Just listing some examples may succeed in illustrating to one's deeper intuition that this must be
true: a few of these mysteries are that of existence itself, the origin of consciousness, freedom of
the will, the mystery of Time and along with it that of eternity, the mystery of immortality and that
of divinity. A bright young child may agree with this observation, remarking, "well, God exists
and He knows the answer to all things." But it really does seem that the contemplation of any one
of these mysteries inevitably leads to the contemplation of all the others as well as some which I
haven't mentioned, and one may ask, why might this be so?" Most individuals are totally
incapable of what is called lucid dreaming, dreaming where the dreamer remains aware that it is he
who is in control of all the action of the dream. Freud's doctrine of the conservation of psychic
energy suggests that the control of the dream action is mediated by the domain of the psyche lying
between full consciousness and the level of consciousness at which the dreamer's mind operates so
that the action of the dream must dissolve upon the dreamer attaining his full consciousness
because the intermediary domain of consciousness which controls the dream is reduced to nil or
"squeezed out." An analogy will serve here. A river may not rise to an altitude greater than that
of its source, at which level its kinetic energy is completely transmuted into potential energy. It
might therefore be thought that only those individuals who experience repression of their normal
full consciousness would be capable of "lucid dreaming" as the control of the dream action would
be mediated by the consciousness within the domain between the individual's repressed
consciousness and his normal potentially full consciousness; this is just a slightly more abstract
way of saying that the psychic energy which is usually unavailable for utilization by the conscious
mind is freed up during the unconsciousness of sleep and rendered available to the unconscious for
use in mediating the phantasmagorical action of the various dream sequences, themselves,
according to Freud, the acting out of wish fulfillments. The upshot of all this is that the
presence of lucid dreaming is a possible indication that the individual experiencing it is not
reaching his normal psychic potential for full wakeful consciousness and that the reason for this is
a deficit of available psychic energy due to the presence of myriad emotional conflicts lying
repressed within his unconscious mind. Psychic energy is bound up for use in maintaining a
compartmentalization of early experiences repressed from conscious recollection. There is no
reason during the unconsciousness of sleep for this psychic energy to continue to be diverted to
man the defenses against the recollection of early childhood experiences by the now inert,
anaesthetized ego, and so this psychic energy suddenly becomes available during deep sleep.

November 1996
I have frequently had the experience of a renewed fixation upon some person, usually a
former love-interest, lasting from hours to perhaps an entire 24-hour period, whenever I had
dreamed about the person on the previous night. Perhaps the remobilization of repressive psychic
defenses takes a characteristic time of several hours after these defenses have been relaxed during
dreaming. Repressed wish-fulfillment fantasies may sometimes manifest themselves as "false
memories." The only way that one knows these memories to be false is through their failure to
cohere with other well-established parts of one's biography, parts which one has memories of
having previously recollected at numerous different times throughout one's past. One does not
possess memories of having recollected the false memories at any time in the past so that they are
not "woven into" one's biographic database, as it were. These false memories do have, however,
the compelling tinge of having actually happened in the form of a very idiosyncratic feeling
associated with them which is perhaps merely the more or less requisite vividness of a legitimate
recollection. In order for the categories of Being and non-Being to be of an absolute nature, the
indeterminate or infinite must possess a structure so that nothing contained within it may possess a
definition as such. But this is precisely what the indeterminate does not admit. Reality is both
bottomless and without a determinate apex. Reality is, in other words, boundless and this is what
gives it its fundamental, which is to say, irreducible temporality.

April 1997
This is Eternity bringing forth Time. Therefore, all categorical distinctions are
transcended by Reality, including that of Being and non-Being. Existence is then a genuine
predicate, but not an absolute one. Given any domain there is, indeed, a most perfect being, but
perfection is now merely relative and there is no Absolute Perfection. There is, however, that
which transcends any possible relative perfection and this is the eternally pre-existent, boundless
Indeterminate in which unlimited possibilities exist in potentia.

Quantum Mechanics verifies the old Scholastic metaphysical understanding of all change or
Becoming as occurring due to a deficit of Being: all real physical processes are mediated via
virtual processes; these virtual processes possess by definition an energy smaller than the energy
uncertainty of the quantum mechanical system which is comprised by the real processes
mediated by them. The total energy uncertainty of a quantum mechanical system is, by the way,
relative to the reference frame within which the system is "viewed," and therefore differences in
the vacuum's zero-point energy reflect changes in our frame of motion - in the sense provided by
relativity. More specifically, Lorenz contractions occur not only to the eigenvalues of length, but
also to the quantum uncertainties of length. Similar statements may be made with respect to
momentum, energy, time, etc.. The unity of all opposites cannot itself possess an opposite.

April 1997
Duality arises out of that which is itself Nondual. The basis of identity which transcends
abstract description is that of continuity, substantial continuity. This is where substance is the
concrete medium from which all forms are generated through abstraction which is limitation and
negation. The modern version of the Being versus Becoming dichotomy of the pre-Socratic
philosophers is that of Space and Time of modern physics. Whereas Being and Becoming were
thought to be disjoint categories by the Greeks, in modern times, the theory of relativity has shown
space and time to have only a separate existence as abstractions dependent upon the frame of
reference of the observer within objective spacetime.
@$
If through Descartes' categories of Res
Cogitans vs. Res Extensa we relate space to matter and time to mind, then relativity perhaps points
to a unity which transcends this distinction of mind vs. matter. Newtonian mechanics effectively
"spatialized" time. Physical laws are simply "descriptions of," as Russell reminds us, how
Nature, in fact, behaves;" Nature does not "obey" any such "laws," nor is she "governed" by them.
This would be to explain a process in terms of the very derivatives or by-products which
necessarily presuppose the process allegedly "explained" by them. An example of this fallacy is
saying that natural selection "explains" or "causes" evolution. Natural Selection cannot even
begin to operate until a genome, or some such unit of heredity, is already in existence. The
question concerning the origins of life and that of Darwinian evolution are seemingly quite
distinct. This is a great and ever growing problem for evolution theory as the science of
self-organizing complexity continues to develop. We speak always of the information contained
within the genetic code as being "expressed," either in terms of the synthesis of particular proteins
or as control of the expression of other genes. Yet we never seem to think of the fact that
language is two-sided; information is not only expressible, that is, decodable, but it is also
encodable. Without the interpretive function of mind, information is never expressed; data are
merely transduced from one form within one medium into another form in another. Can the
function of expression be reversible? Transduction seems to fall short of the creativity of
expression. The function of expression is not reversible without the context for the original
encoding, examples of which are the creation of art, music, or poetry. Would we be satisfied with
a concept of information as merely metadata?

January 1998
There are myriad medically documented cases of persons in states of profound
hypothermia having undergone cardiac arrest and existing in a state of clinical death for periods of
up to several hours who, upon being gradually thawed and heated in an emergency operating room,
revived completely and without exhibiting any sign of brain trauma or loss of other healthy
physiological function. Open heart surgery is now performed in the former Soviet Union upon
patients whose core body temperatures have been carefully lowered to just above freezing to buy
precious additional hours of surgical time in cases where particularly complex and life-threatening
procedures are required. Now assuming that the persons who revive are the selfsame individuals
whose bodies had been in a state of clinical death, we may conclude that, whatever is causally
necessary to provide the underlying continuity of personal identity which remains preserved
throughout, must not depend upon the chemical processes which are significantly impaired or
halted as a result of a near freezing core body temperature. We may deduce from this that,
although one's individual consciousness is structured and shaped by the near infinite number of
electrochemical reactions taking place within the brain, such electrochemical processes are not,
themselves, responsible for the fact of one's individual consciousness existing. Perhaps this line
of reasoning appears to beg the question, since the emphasis placed on continuity here
presupposes that consciousness is some kind of substance.

April 1997
Darwinian evolutionary theory always is opposed to the special creation theory, but
Darwinian theory does not really stand in complete contradiction to the Biblical creation account
because it does not admit flow of information into the genome, but only outward flow in the form
of the genome's expression as phenotype. But in any informational system, elements do not
contain information statically, but within an interpretive context, which implies that the genome
represents a nexus for the exchange of information between two or more systems, and so the
Darwinian doctrine of one-way flow of genetic information renders the theory inconsistent and
prevents it from being in true opposition to the special creation theory.

April 1997
Encoding is over-determination. Decoding is under-determination. Hence, in a
deterministic system, in which one state of the system simply determines, and neither
over-determines nor under-determines, its succeeding state - in such a system neither decoding nor
encoding is taking place. Information is not a relevant quantity where strictly deterministic
systems are concerned.

This precise "deficit of Being" may only be defined in terms of the complete description of the
total process; this description, as already noted, exists only for itself and cannot be derived from
without as an infinite regress of description stands in our way here. In this connection we may
state the fundamental principle that "the mediator may not be defined in terms of the total set of
processes which it mediates." This "deficit of Being" of Scholastic philosophy is exactly
analogous to the energy uncertainty of quantum mechanics. If Hegel is correct in saying that
positive entities exist only by virtue of the accumulation of various negations of relations holding
between the Absolute and itself, then each entity must more or less clearly and distinctly exhibit
the unified totality of Reality in microcosm, the developmental program of which is contained in
the greater quantity of information which is determined when a number of these entities come into
conjunction with one another. For instance, the molecular bonding of atoms, whether it be ionic,
covalent, or by the weaker Van der Waal's force, cannot be induced to occur within a previously
specified period of time simply through the manipulation of the atoms "from outside;" one may
only place the atoms in the approximate position whereupon the action of bond formation ensues
through the spontaneous action of the vacuum electromagnetic field. In fact, the quantum
mechanical method utilized in physical or quantum chemistry to determine the various bonding
probabilities has nothing whatever to say about which precise configuration or shape, out of the
many possible configurations, will be formed as a result or the spontaneous bonding process.

This fact is readily seen when one attempts to view the spontaneous conformation of a denatured
macromolecule such as a nucleic acid as the result of the amino acids of composing the molecule
trying myriad possible different conformations by trial and error until the energetically favored
(most stable) conformation is found. In even relatively small macromolecules the total number of
possible conformations is so staggeringly large that even if the components try a different
configuration every 10
-13
seconds (a very liberal assumption) the time required to hit on the
"correct" conformation by chance would take many orders of magnitude longer than the present
age of the observable universe! The wavefunction which describes the total system of interacting
atoms entering into the bonding process is approximated as a product of the individual
wavefunctions describing the approximate quantum state of the atoms; it is only the complete
wavefunction which describes these atoms as being inextricably entangled with the whole
vacuum-energy/ mass-energy matrix which contains the information about the shape of the
resultant molecule, among other things. No individual quantum mechanical wavefunction is truly
normalizable, although a large ensemble of such wavefunctions will approach normalizability in
the limit of infinite ensembles. There will always appear to be coupling between the eigenstates
of a wavefunction which is, itself, merely an approximately exact wavefunction; in reality, there is
only one universal wavefunction, as its normalizability requires.

This process is very much akin to the decrease of fuzziness in a holographic image which occurs
on two or more pieces of a shattered holographic emulsion when the various pieces are refitted
together. On this view all development of material systems from the simplest subatomic
constituents to the most complex living organisms, consists in the negation of negation,
engendered by the conjunctions of these constituents which occurs by chance outside the quantum
mechanical positional (or length) uncertainty of the constituents, but which is actively directed
once they interpenetrate within this uncertainty, where they enter into the effective range of their
innate quantum-uncertainty mediated tendencies toward self-organization, tendencies which are a
manifestation of the partially distinct "image" of the Absolute, i.e., the universal wavefunction,
which each constituent contains in microcosm within itself. Because creation is conceived under
the aspect of the negation of the negation of contextual relatedness within the Absolute, this
negation which is negated being understood as the reduction of information resulting from the
partial expression of the universal wavefunction as a product of partial wavefunctions
corresponding to relatively uncertain subatomic constituents, the problem of "Why is there
something rather than nothing?," is no longer rendered insoluble by the requirement of
explaining creation ex nihilo, but it is simply recognized that there has to have always been
something or other, so what better candidate for this something than that unified plenum which is
its own description, which is per Aristotle its own eternal contemplation; that entity which
au=
Hegel calls the
au=
Absolute, and which we have styled "the universal wavefunction." In the
same way, the Buddhists express the same idea when they call the ultimate reality sunnyata for
emptiness or void and affirm that it is a living void which gives birth to all forms in the
phenomenological world. (

Dr. Scholem, in his

Madame Blavatsky refers to evolution as a "spiritual Opus in reverse," meaning that the world
arose through a process of involution (a reduction of the infinite to the finite), but containing a
vague recollection of the whole from which it was originally abstracted and which guides its future
development. This future development is constituted by the return of the Absolute back unto
itself, directed from above and hence is a recapitulation of the timeless and transcendent within the
realm of the temporal and immanent. This is to understand evolution as the negation of negation.
To say that Reality cannot be given a complete description on account of the inevitable pitfall of
infinite regress is merely to say that, if this description does not already exist, then it can in no way
be constructed;
@$
there is nothing in what has just been said to prevent a complete description of
Reality, which has always existed. In fact, it is due to the lack of a complete description which is
responsible for the existence of temporality, c.f., fluctuations necessarily associated with a
perturbation theory description of the quantum field. This observation is very much in the same
spirit of the mathematician
au=
Kurt Godel's discovery that the notion of truth is stronger than the
notion of provability; the fact that a theorem expressible within the symbolic language of a
particular logico-deductive, mathematical system may not be constructed from the axioms of its
system utilizing the rules of inference of this system does not prevent this theorem from "existing"
in the sense of its being true, i.e., subsisting.

It is actually the interaction of the
open-ended sets of suppressed details (that is, those concrete details suppressed that originally
constituted the categories of abstract thought), which do the heavy lifting on behalf of creative
intelligence and not the categories themselves. The categories, when wielded (just think of tools
here) merely signal to the underlying creative ground, which direction it is to apply the genius of
colluding devilish detail to which problem, as well as conveniently indexing the end products of
lucubration and so enabling their inter-subjective communication. On this view the
sociolinguistic construct of the self is merely the master abstract category, which is but one of the
many categories of thought, and which serve the real master that is the will.


But one might ask what is the meaning of mathematical theorems which are beyond the
comprehension of any finite mind and which are not true by construction from a possible
collection of axioms, but true in some more fundamental sense. Wittgenstein tells us that we
may not use substantives in a manner which attempts to extend the reference of these terms beyond
the scope of all possible experience without falling into either meaninglessness or absurdity.
Therefore, when we ask the question, "Does God exist?" the most we can possible mean by this
question is, "Does God exist within our space-time continuum?" We cannot ask whether God
exists in Reality (Wirklichkeit) since Reality cannot possess a complete description without this
description having always existed and without admitting the existence of such a description, one
necessarily beyond all possible attempts to construct it, and which may only exist from a single
point of view or perspective. So it seems that one may not ask whether God exists in Reality (in
the sense of Wirklichkeit ) without presupposing an answer in the affirmative,
@$
because the
admission of the existence of Ultimate Reality is one and the same with the admission of God's
existence. It is meaningful, however, to ask this same question in the sense of Realitat. That
which has always existed, and its complete description, which has always existed must be a part of
this same eternally pre-existent Reality. It is obvious that the description and the Reality must be
essentially one and the same entity which is, who is, God. The finite may not be complete without
conditions being specified, and these specified conditions may not obtain except within the
purview of a larger context, containing the particular finite thing.

Only those independently occurring genetic mutations may occur at lower levels in the gene
regulatory hierarchy, i.e., to structural genes, which become integrated together within a member
of an evolving species which might have possessed a common source in the form of single
mutation to a higher order regulatory gene, one which controls the expression of the original set of
structural genes prior to the occurrence of these independent mutations. The operation of
Darwinian natural selection presupposes the existence of a gene regulatory hierarchy which
controls not only the expression of individual genes, but more importantly controls the integration
of the expressions of large numbers of genes at the lower levels of this hierarchy.

To reiterate, there has always been something. What better candidate for this something than that
than which nothing greater can be conceived (per Anselm) ? This something has no complete
description except within and through itself. The only truly determinate entity is the totality of
everything which is possible or it is the void, as nothingness is, by its very nature, determinate. It
has been humorously noted that Time exists so that everything will not happen at once. Given
this obvious truth, then if Reality is infinite in scope, there is no "everything" for there to possibly
be given or occur all at once. For the term "everything" presupposes a finally completed
something which is incompatible with infinitude. So temporality may be simply necessary in an
infinite Reality. Temporality seems to require that (per Bergson) genuine novelty continually
intrude into the world. The act of creation is not an event within history; it is the beginning of
history; it is the very inception of novelty. Bergson advocates what might be called a Machian
theory of Time.

But since the continued presence of temporality seems to require continual activity of creation, it
seems more consistent to assume that creation itself is a fundamental process which itself had no
beginning, which was itself never created, that the activity of creation is that which has always
existed and which requires no explanation other than itself. On the other hand, however, it seems
that this fundamental process of creation cannot be a unified process, for otherwise it is an act
which could have been consummated instantaneously, once for all. Temporality must therefore
be a process of recapitulation of timeless reality with Reality itself as the medium through which
the recapitulation is accomplished. If Reality has a complete description, it is not one which can
be constructed, not one which had any origin in time: it is indeterminacy itself which is ultimately
responsible for the existence of temporality itself. If such a complete description exists it must
have always existed and the description and the reality must be one and the same. Consciousness
offers itself immediately as a likely candidate for such an ultimate reality since consciousness is its
own representation. If it is true that consciousness is required in order to collapse a quantum
mechanical wavefunction into a determinate eigenstate, then consciousness, if it had an origin in
time, must have arose out the interaction of uncollapsed wavefunctions - it must have arisen out of
a situation of infinite energy uncertainty. The velocity of light is determined by the ratio of real
particle energy to virtual particle energy. Hence, the elsewhere region of the Minkowski light cone
may be identified with that region of the vacuum which stands in a relation of Bell nonlocality to
the observer. The unity of the conscious mind is no doubt owing to Bell-nonlocal connectivity of
neurons within the brain. If it is true that there has always been something (as in the metaphysical
question, "why is there something rather than nothing"), out of which the Universe arose,
assuming that this something is not just the Universe itself, then there must not be, ultimately
speaking, a universal or all encompassing, ongoing process of either evolution or degradation in
the development of Reality. This is because by this present time an infinite amount of time must
have already passed so that

Reality should have either degraded into utter nothingness or reached a state of eternally
unchanging perfection and we do not observe the Universe to presently occupy either of these two
extreme states: temporality could not exist within a universe which derives its existence from a
ground of unchanging perfection (fullness of being); nor could the universe derive its existence
from a ground of nothingness (complete degradation).

December 1996
Evolution and devolution are concepts which may only possess an application locally,
however broadly. We now arrive at the conclusion that Reality as a whole is neither evolving
(increasing in complexity) nor is it devolving (decreasing in complexity) so that any apparent
changes in complexity in the Universe, e.g., biological evolution, increasing entropy, are merely
local changes which are on the whole compensated by opposing processes elsewhere. We may
think of causal relationships as obtaining between terms or entities occupying a plane of equal
levels of abstraction with the process of abstraction itself and its opposing process, that of
concretion, being processes which do not admit of an exhaustively causal analysis. If it is only
possible to alter the boundary conditions and initial conditions which the dynamism of Nature is
subject to , but not to alter in any way the dynamism itself, then the most advanced technologies
will amount to nothing more than having discovered how to goad Nature into doing, in the best
way she knows how, what she has all along been in the very act of doing. It is the possibility of
formulating recursive propositions and this possibility alone which allows the domain of true
theorems, expressible within the language of a deductive system, to transcend in magnitude the
domain of provable theorems, i.e., theorems which may be deduced from the axioms of the system
through application of the rules of inference of the system. There is no comprehensive rule by
which a computing device may recognize the appearance of a recursive proposition since
recursiveness is a structure which can only be suggested; it cannot be literally stated. All baryons
are composed of various combinations of three different quarks out of the six possible different
types of quark; the mesons, however, are each composed of different quark pairs from among the
six fundamental quark types. The fundamental force responsible for binding together the various
quark combinations out of which all baryons and mesons are composed possesses the bizarre
property of increasing in strength as the distance separating the quarks increases.

The important result of this is that it is impossible to fragment these quark laden particles into their
fundamental constituent quarks: it is impossible to produce a "free quark," in other words. This
is almost as though the quark does not possess a determinate energy structure except as it exists
within groups of two, three or possibly larger numbers of quarks. The quark may be an example
of an entity whose identity is totally context dependent with the quark itself, paradoxically,
providing the context for its own determination as a substantive entity. Such an entity might not
possess a definite energy equivalence in the sense that it is not possible to determine the quark's
energy independently of the energies associated with the force fields the particle produces. An
entity such as the quark which is defined in terms of the combined effect that it has upon itself (and
one or more duplicates of itself ) provides us with the best example to date of what might be called
a self-existent entity. Quantum nonlocality effects could govern the superluminal transmission of
information between various widely separated locations within the brain's cortex without
producing a verifiable violation of special relativity's restriction on superluminal transmission of
information between separate minds. This would be possible if the very same nonlocality effects
are required for the integration of the individual's consciousness as a whole. The idea or flash of
insight would then be time-delayed by the necessary time interval involved in conveying this idea
from the location in his brain where the crucial integration occurred to those parts of his nervous
system which pick up this message and in turn translate it into classically described nerve impulses
then responsible for the ultimate series of muscle cell contractions required to transmit the
message to the external world of attending observers.

Another way of looking at this kind of nonlocality is for the nonlocalized quantum effects to be
confined to a vacuum energy/information reservoir, exhaustively connected with itself nonlocally,
which is continually tapped into by the neural network of the person's brain. There seems to be
nothing to strictly forbid the existence of superluminal causal connections between events which
lie outside of any observer's Minkowski light cone.

Since the common sense view alleges that the past is nothing more than a fixed, crystallized record
of what has actually occurred within the present, it follows from this view then that a present which
has not had adequate time within which to resolve its internal contradictions and ambiguities must
retain a certain small degree of freedom within which change might continue even after this
moment becomes past. In this way, backwards causality would be admissible, if only for the
purpose of "cleaning up" the "loose ends" of still indeterminate entities occupying past times.
@$
But doesn't common sense also define the past in such a manner that it does not actually become
past as such until such a point as this crystallization process is complete.

January 1998
Within the above schema of "concrete" temporal evolution, the time dimension cannot be
spatialized and treated analogously to an additional dimension of space such as it is treated by the
Minkowski relativistic formalism.

In other words, common sense defines the past in such a way that the time axis is necessarily
orthogonal to the three dimensions of space and this at every spatial scale, however small; it
defines the past in such a manner that there is no substantive distinction between past, present and
future, which is to say, it defines the past as a half-infinite time interval with its later endpoint
being the present moment whose status as present must be completely arbitrary. Within a
deterministic time continuum there is no nonarbitrary basis upon which any particular moment
along the continuum may be chosen over other contenders as being actually present.

January 1998
The first order approximate description of the first order perturbations to a given
quantum mechanical system may be evaluated in terms of the discrepancy between the system's
first order and its second order perturbation description. The true nature of the perturbations of
the system to which entirely owes its genuine temporality, cannot be understood with respect to
any possible common descriptive denominator which these perturbations may be thought to have
with the formal elements of the first or, for that matter, any higher order perturbative descriptions
of the system. In other words, in absolute terms, the perturbations to any system cannot be given
any formal description of representation of any kind.

A natural lawlike system of relationships which govern the behavior of a given entity may only be
formulated provided that this entity is not unique ( provided that multiple duplicates of the entity
exist and are available ) as in the case of subatomic particles, e.g., an electron.

January 1998
Otherwise, there is not objective means of distinguishing dependent from independent
variables of the system.

As observed by
au=
Jacques Monod in
cit=
Chance and Necessity, "Science can neither say nor do
anything about a unique occurrence. It can only consider occurrences that form a class, whose a
priori probability, however faint, is yet definite."

We note here that a determinate occurrence merely constitutes a special case of a definite
probability, namely, that of unity. Consequently, if a probability of unity for a particular
occurrence demands that this occurrence be contained within a finite number which altogether
form a closed system of possible occurrences, then equally does so a definite probability for this,
or any other, occurrence within the self same system. It is doubtful whether the probabilities of
"material" events can change due to disturbances of the system from outside which leave these
events unchanged as discrete entities. For the sensitivity of system elements within open systems
follows from the general nature of opens systems as not being themselves constituted from closed
systems. To wit, additivity and commutatability, which are manifestations of system
reversibility, do not obtain within open systems.

The meaning of discursive symbols must be completely arbitrary if these symbols are to be
interpretable, i.e., if they are to be data to which information can be associated. There must be an
important distinction to be drawn between the dissemination of data and the transmission of
information. There is not distinction between these two types of propagation of influence if the
endpoints are not taken into account. The transmission of data from point A to point B is merely
an arbitrary link within a larger arbitrary link connecting point A' to point B' of the longer path
containing path AB. And the smaller path, AB, is arbitrary because it exists only through the
arbitrary abstraction of it from the larger path A'B'. In other words, there is no reason for
considering the path AB than that of arbitrary choice. There is no determinate relationship
between data and information because they do not exist at the same level of abstraction. This
would presuppose, however, that data and information, are only different, generally speaking, in a
relative sense, i.e., relative to the level of abstraction.


The quest for the "theory of everything" is therefore doomed to ultimate failure, since what we call
"everything" is necessarily unique, and this uniqueness prevents us from separating those
"variables" which are particular to the thing itself from those which owe in part to our
investigatory involvement with this thing. The self, in the act of investigating ultimate reality,
must be included within the dynamic of the reality for which we are seeking a complete
description. This inherent recursiveness which lies at the heart of any earnest attempt to develop
a complete description of reality is alone responsible for the fact that the domain of truth
necessarily transcends the sum of knowledge comprising any point of view (of reality).

Quantum Mechanics tells us that a closed dynamical system may only undergo temporal evolution
provided that a certain energy uncertainty exists within the system. This energy uncertainty is
just the standard deviation of the energy about its mean or expectation value. This energy
uncertainty may be interpreted in terms of a time-average sum of random energy perturbations to
the system "from outside" the system. The phase of the isolated quantum system formally
undergoes temporal evolution, but there is no physical meaning to be attached to an absolute
phase. It is only when another system is brought into interaction with the first system do we get
temporal evolution of relative phases of the two systems which possess measurable and observable
effects. If these energy perturbations, or some component of them are not removable, are not
merely the artifacts of our inadequate perturbative analyses of quantum systems, but are
ontologically real, then the infinity, and perhaps the infinite dimensionality, of the world logically
follow.

These random energy perturbations manifest themselves in the form of energy exchanges between
the quantum mechanical system and the sea of virtual particles in which this system is embedded.
The interaction of these virtual particles with the quantum mechanical system are responsible for
virtual transitions of the quantum state of the system to other quantum states. The only real
energy transitions available to the quantum mechanical (dynamical) system are those from
amongst the set of virtual energy transitions which are continually occurring within the time
interval specified by the system's time uncertainty. The density of this virtual particle energy sea
has a direct bearing upon the rate of temporal evolution of any given quantum mechanical system.

Our central hypothesis is that the presence of matter has a perturbing effect upon this virtual
particle energy sea, i.e., the quantum vacuum field, and this perturbing effect is, namely, to
decrease the overall density of this vacuum energy which results in a similar decrease in the time
rate of change of all physical processes within the spatial volume occupied by this matter. This
proposed vacuum mechanism is exactly similar to the mechanism by which a quantum resonant
cavity decreases the rate of spontaneous emission of 'cavity - detuned' photons by a Rydberg
excited atom. The resonant cavity achieves this by excluding most of the photons of
half-wavelength larger than the cavity diameter: to wit, it does this by decreasing the energy
density of vacuum electromagnetic field fluctuations of roughly the same energy as that of the
suppressed atomic energy transitions.

Given this inherent circularity in the nature of technological growth, it follows that the ultimate
constituents of the World must be wholly recursive: they must be their own symbolic
representations. If a "conscious computer" is ever developed in what will undoubtedly be the
far distant future, this mysterious property of such a device will in no way stem solely from the
design or blueprint by which its engineers will have conceived its construction; the blueprint will,
of course, be a necessary component in the realization of such a conscious machine, but will have
been derived from a necessarily somewhat fortuitous discovery, owing to much trial and error
investigation, of the "correct" hardware interface of the device with the recursive, self-organizing
matrix of quantum - vacuum energy fluctuations which underpin and mediate the stability of all
fundamental particles and their exchange forces. Only in appropriate dynamic conjunction with
this fluctuating energy matrix will any realization of a hardware design possess the topological
energy structure sufficient to tap the pre-existing "consciousness potential" of spacetime. In other
words, it is only the grace of Reality's fundamental dynamism which will permit the eventual
construction of a so-called conscious computing device.

This empirical discovery of the correct interface design will manifest itself perhaps during a
testing phase where a long series of simulated sensory inputs, of increasing complexity, are in the
process of being fed into the device while its output signals (responses) are being closely
monitored. The memory medium of the device will begin to accumulate stored or remembered
inputs which it has never received through its various sensory apparatus. Identical sets or series
of inputs will produce significantly different series of outputs both from an individual machine
over time as well as from different machines at the same time - even if these machines possess
identical designs. Occasionally, radically different series or sets of inputs will produce identical
sets of outputs. A significant portion of the functional relationship between output and input will
depend upon changes in energy in the internal components of the machine's hardware which are,
themselves, smaller than the overall quantum energy uncertainty of the device as a whole.
Moreover, no mutually orthogonal set of eigenfunctions will describe the "functioning
components" of the device. This is why we have been saying that the abstract spatial structure of
our hypothetical computing device is non-topological. Clearly, any realization of a static
blueprint for a computing device, regardless how complex, in the form or an dynamically
functioning prototype, will itself be merely a topologically-preserving transformation of the
blueprint from 2 or perhaps 3 spatial dimensions to 4 spatial dimensions rather than the
topology-non-preserving transformation from 3 spatial to 4 dimensions of 3 space and 1 time.
This is because the state space of the transcribed structure, i.e., the design, can be adequately
described in spatial terms. In a very real sense, an object may not be thought to possess an
internality unless it possess a genuine "outside" in the sense of a radically open system - a system
which cannot be contained within a closed system; a system is "closed" only if it is finite and
neither receives nor transmits energy to or from any system except itself. Such a closed system
possesses no "outside."

Contingent uniqueness versus necessary uniqueness. The size of the Universe and the black hole
mass limit as important parameters in determining the density of the quantum vacuum energy.

The asymmetrical nature of time perhaps has some bearing on the hierarchical structuring of
complex macromolecules. The fact that a molecule has been formed from a set of simpler
constituents does not guarantee that it can then be decomposed back into this set of constituents.
Similarly, the fact that a molecule has been broken down into a set of simpler constituents does not
guarantee that it can be spontaneously recomposed from this selfsame set of constituents.
Perhaps the asymmetrical nature of temporality implies that any sufficiently large set of
macromolecules may be partitioned into two disjoint parts; those molecules possessing a bottom -
up structure and those possessing a top - down structure. This distinction which I am drawing is
not a solid theoretical one; it is a pragmatic distinction which assumes that status of a theoretical
distinction when we refer to molecules occupying either extreme end of the probability spectrum (
in terms of their ability to form "naturally" from simpler parts ). Will may only be defined in
terms of a "rational" order foreign to itself which it resists or subverts. Will is the external
manifestation of consciousness. Will is a principle of incommensurate causation. The set of
lawlike relations which may be said to govern Will's operation are unique and irreproducible.
Rational order is simply that order which can be made to manifest its lawlike relations in a
reproducible manner. There is no need to invoke a temporal description of this state space - the
only reason one would attempt it is because we project our genuine temporality onto the mind's eye
realization of the computing device in its act of "functioning." Henri Bergson, in his essay, Time
in the History of Western Philosophy, complained of a confusion which inevitably cropped up
whenever metaphysicians attempted to analyze the problem of motion. With a kind of gentle
contempt he described the frustration of these philosophers in trying to reconstruct linear motion
from infinite series of "immobilities", i.e., fixed points of infinitesimal length.

He explained their failure as being due to their ignorance of the nature of a linear interval as a mere
projection of "mobility onto immobility." This projection, naturally as such, does not capture the
whole phenomenon, but merely a point of view with respect to it out of an infinity of equally valid
points of view, and so from a single projection, or even a finite number of projections, one is never
permitted to reconstruct the original object as it is. There are possible boundary conditions
which might be easily placed upon the dynamic of the "flux" which are nonetheless infinitely
improbable as "natural" occurrences, which is to say that the operation of intelligence is required
to institute them. It is these seemingly magical self - organizing properties of matter, owing to the
recursiveness of its ultimate "constituents," which make any attempt to calculate the
"improbability" of biological macromolecules an incoherent and meaningless enterprise. Similar
activities are the routine pastime of myriad scientifically inclined creationists attacking evolution.
The staggeringly large numerical ratios which they cite against the "chance occurrence" of the
simplest eukaryote DNA are calculated upon a permutational / combinational modeling of a
prebiotic "soup" in which chance collisions continually occur between precursor molecules, e.g.,
peptides, amino acids, nucleic acids, etc. The serious problem with such a modeling approach is
that it is not an empirically derived statistical calculation as in actuarial computations, where a
distinct probability is assigned to each possible event within a pool, based on the observed relative
frequencies of each event, but is an abstract calculation where the probabilities are fixed at the
outset and remain unchanged throughout all series of calculations.

For example, there are a vast number of nucleic acid reactions taking place within the ribosome
organelle of every living animal cell which in the absence of certain mediating enzymes will take
place anywhere from 9 to 20 orders of magnitude more slowly than if these enzymes are present -
the ribosome is responsible for "translating" the coded information of nucleic acids into various
macromolecules (proteins) and in so doing expressing the genotype of the developing organism.
We see from this example that the probability of the occurrence of various macromolecules
essential to the appearance of the first reproducing, metabolizing organic units begins
infinitesimally small when the molecule's precursors are yet unavailable, but that this probability
grows by large discontinuous jumps each time one of these precursors, the precursors' precursors,
etc. arise inadvertently in the prebiotic "soup" so that by the time the exhaustive set of
macromolecular precursors is present, the formation of the original macromolecule is virtually
assured.

The ribosome itself, despite its inordinately complex structure, has been observed under
experimental conditions to reform spontaneously after having been dissociated within a carefully
prepared enzyme bath into its precursor polynucleotide constituents - and this within the space of
only several hours! It is indeed true that a countless variety of different enzymes (of the precisely
correct type) must be simultaneously present along with the polynucleotide matrix for this
seemingly magical act of spontaneous self - organization to occur. This is because the self -
organization of such an enormously complex organic structure depends, throughout the entire
process, upon the almost simultaneous juxtaposition (collision is a better term) of three or more
precursor molecules which all happen to have the exactly correct spatial orientation, with
sufficient kinetic energy to overcome the activation energy barrier against the reaction occurring.
It should be noted here that just the chance of any three compatible molecules ( in terms of a
desired product ) colliding at once with the roughly correct spatial orientation is an event with a
probability only infinitesimally greater than zero - let alone the question of proper activation
energies. And so, even if the primordial Earth possessed the appropriate reducing atmosphere
with oceans chalk full of all of the required precursor molecules for the ribosome to properly form,
without the necessary catalyzing cofactors ( the enzymes ) there would not likely have formed a
single such structure by this late epoch. Then perhaps there must have been an extremely long
period of time during which the necessary enzymes appeared on the scene, one might think. One
suspects, then, a similar self - organizing process behind the formation of these necessary
enzymes, the only difference being that the precursors which we are now concerned with are
simpler, while their precursors must have been simpler still, and so on. But the precursor
macromolecules for many particular enzymes have, indeed, never been manufactured ( because we
don't know how to do it), but have to be obtained from more complex molecules than themselves,
if not from living or recently living organisms. The theory of evolution, chemical evolution in
this case, has secretly conditioned us to believe that there must be some definite if inordinately
complex sequence: precursors + cofactors ~ simpler precursors + cofactors ~ etc. leading back to
the very simplest organic molecules which form by self - organization spontaneously and easily in
a wide variety of environments and without the need for cofactors or helper molecules of any kind,
and that it must have been such a process (only in reverse) which ultimately lead to the first self -
reproducing biological units which could then be developed further through Darwinian natural
selection.

The notion of self - organization gives some of us pause because it concerns a natural process
which sits precisely on the fence between what might be called less - than - self - organization, i.e.,
formation from simpler components, and what is aptly called greater - than - self - organization,
i.e., formation from more complex components - and it is just such a notion which strongly
suggests a top - down hierarchy within the natural order which can only have intelligence at its
apex. At every step in the chain in the formation of higher level precursor molecules, the
mediation of the required reactions is accomplished via self - organization principles : those who
attempt to calculate the probability against "chance" formation of important precursor molecules
forget a very important general principle first articulated by the great rationalist philosopher
Leibniz - which is - that set of conditions which in combination are sufficient to produce some
complex structure must necessarily remain in operation at every succeeding moment to sustain the
existence of this structure. The upshot of this is that a complex structure which owes its origin to
mere chance cannot endure, still less could it respond to its environment in an adaptive fashion.
To bend Nature toward our intentions it is merely necessary for us to block all of those except
the one paralleling that one which is our own. It is in the very nature of recursion not to be
derivable from anything but recursion itself. Therefore, if a recursion or recursive structure has
a beginning in time it is complex, but may only be analyzed in terms of other "simpler" recursive
structures. These simpler components of the recursive structure are themselves approximations
to the larger structure which they form in combination with one another. The behavior of self -
organizing systems cannot ultimately be explained in terms of principles of organization which
obtain externally, which is to say, such dynamic structures will not submit to a reductionistic
analysis.

The distinction between the "mental" and the "physical" may be drawn in the following way:
both are wholes composed of parts, both possess principles of organization, but what is termed a
physical whole is defined exclusively in terms of its constituent parts while the "parts" which
"compose" what is termed a mental whole are, themselves, defined in terms of the whole which
they compose. The reconstruction of a mental whole must be guided in a top - down manner
whereas the construction of a physical whole must be guided in a bottom - up manner. The
principle of a mental whole must exist prior to its actual realization ( in terms of whatever
substance). Without substance change is not possible. Coextensive with this principle is:
change owes itself to a lack of determination, to a deficit of Being, to negation. From which it at
once follows that substance, rather than being the seat of being, of thinghood, as common sense
conceives it to be, it owes its existence, to the contrary, to a lack of being. It is not possible for a
determinate thing to be made up out of substance insofar as this thing possesses determination. It
is easy enough to see that continuity is required for the subsistence of what is called historical time
which we will henceforth refer to as temporality. Indeterminate substance is the only basis for the
continuity underlying all change. The theory of entropic processes tells us that energy and
information are interdefinable and this fact in conjunction with the principle of energy
conservation suggests that information, like energy, may neither be created nor destroyed: the
"creation" of a quantity of information is really constituted by its being abstracted from the
preexisting integral system of information defining it.p94Like a piece broken off from a
holographic emulsion, there is a necessary trade - off involved in this abstraction process: the
"newly created" entity only acquires a relative independence from the whole in which it eternally
preexisted (and which defined its true being) by losing some of its knowledge of itself. There is a
direct analogy with this process in the creation of "new" subatomic particles through the collision
of particles within a linear accelerator.

In the first couple of decades after the first "atom - smashing" experiments performed with the
primitive particle accelerators of the 1930's, it had been supposed that the particle products of these
violent collisions were actually pieces of the colliding particles which had been jarred loose by the
sudden impulsive force of their slamming together. But soon after this early period the kinetic
energies of the particles going into these accelerator collisions began to significantly exceed the
combined mass - energy of the particles which themselves initiated the reaction, with the result
that the end product of these collisions was a set of particles with individual member particles
possessing a mass greater than the combined mass of the particles originally participating in the
collision. The common sense "broken pieces" explanation of accelerator products now had to
be modified in some way or rejected outright. Two alternative interpretations of this "mass
paradox" were suggested by particle theorists: either the product particles were created from the
excitation of the vacuum by the kinetic energy of the collision with the "input" particles serving as
the points of application of the excitation energy, or they were really inside the initial particles all
along but the excess mass - energy was being exactly balanced by an equal and opposite negative
energy due to the internal binding forces holding the particles together. The science of Physics, at
least before the development of relativistic quantum field theory, in the 1940's, imagined that there
might be such things as ultimate material constituents - elementary particles - out of which all
material bodies would be composed. The implicit Metaphysics behind the notion of elementary
particles is that of substance. There is no such thing as nothing. Nothing, by its very nature, is a
nonexistent entity: it is its own negation. We might be tempted to say then that "something,"
being the opposite of nothing, must exist. But not just any "something" constitutes the opposite or
negation of nothing/nothingness, but only a something which is, itself, the unity of all that might
possibly exist, and the very essence of which is to exist. In other words, nothing, not being
possible because containing within itself its own negation, implies that there must have always
been something (or other).

But the only guarantee that there has always been something is the existence of something which
contains within itself its own affirmation, if you will, the reason for its own existence. A
fundamental and most general property of a thing which contains within itself the reason for its
own existence is that of recursion, something which is defined solely in terms of itself, a recursive
structure. There are logical grounds for believing that there can be only one recursive structure,
that there can be only one self-existent entity - with this entity being the "ground" for existence of
all other entities. A recursive structure, if it may be thought to be composite, would be composed
of parts which are totally interdependent upon one another; no part is the cause of any other
without also being itself caused by this other part and so if this recursive structure had a beginning
in time, it must have been given existence through a pre-existing, broader and more complex
recursive structure. We see now that a given finite recursive structure comes into existence
through a process of uncovering or abstraction from a more complex whole - through a process of
negation. We are reminded of Michelangelo's claim that a truly great work of sculpture already
exists within its marble block and that all he did in order to produce his works was merely to free
them from the marble in which they were imprisoned. All simpler recursive structures come
into being through a kind of figure-ground transformation, through a change in perspective. This
reminds us of Leibniz' monads, each of which are only different perspectives on an eternally
pre-existent whole, c.f., holography, with each monad defined in terms of, or dependent upon, all
of the other monads making up the whole. This exhaustive interdependence is what Leibniz
refers to as the preestablished harmony between monads. Again, a recursion may only be defined
in terms of other recursions like itself. Consciousness is an example of an inherently recursive
structure as it is its own symbolic representation ( of itself to itself). Consciousness' objectivity
is exactly coextensive with its subjectivity; the representation of a decomposed 3 + 1 space and
time is always against a nondecomposed spacetime where space and time are fused. This is
simply a restatement of Bishop Berkeleys principle, esse est percipi, i.e., to be is to be perceived,
and as
@$
consciousness necessarily experiences itself as a unity and never as a multiplicity - the
objective reality of any multiplicity of consciousness' could only exist as a subjective reality within
a larger individual consciousness (itself a unity) and so cannot really be a multiplicity of
consciousnesses at all. This was one of Schrodingers metaphysical insights.

We
have said elsewhere that, without context, there is no meaning. But not just any context will do
here. Firstly, this meaning giving context cannot be merely incidental or accidental (since we are
presuming here that ultimately sense and meaning is not forthcoming from a closed system), but
the system must itself be an outgrowth of the meaning-providing context. This makes a
teleological interpretation of intelligent systems unavoidable. In other words, we must subscribe
to a top-down causal order, one which necessarily admits the operation of what philosophers term
supervenience. Self organization or self-organizing principles have no efficacy unless what
we term self, i.e., that which does the organizing, is open-ended, i.e., open to higher levels of
organization. Logically, the only system that can effectively bootstrap itself (following Cantor)
is an infinite system.

This argument against the multiplicity of consciousness was succinctly stated by the physicist
au=
Erwin Schrodinger in his short seminal work,
cit=
Mind and Matter. It follows that since
consciousness cannot experience itself as a multiplicity, it therefore cannot exist objectively as a
multiplicity: consequently there can only be one consciousness.
@$
But if the nature of
consciousness is that of self-transcending, then
au=
Schrodingers clever line of reasoning loses
considerable force. Both the American psychologist
au=
William James as well the French
philosopher
au=
Henri Bergson did not believe that the brain was itself productive of consciousness
but that the brain was merely a kind of reducing valve (Bergson) which filtered and reduced down
the cosmic consciousness (James) to a vastly simpler form containing roughly the level of
information handling capacity (intelligence) which the human organism would need to adapt to the
limited challenges of an earthly environment. The novelist and author of Brave New World
(1932),
au=
Aldous Huxley, discussed this view of consciousness in his popular treatise,
cit=
The
Doors of Perception - Heaven and Hell. In this work Huxley describes the effects of the
psychoactive (psychedelic) drugs mescaline and LSD which he experimented with towards the
latter part of his life in an attempt to trigger or facilitate the mystical experience of enlightenment
in which he had had an almost lifelong curiosity. Huxley explained the effects of these
substances in terms of the
prn=
James-Bergson theory of consciousness: the experience of
self-transcendence and transfiguration which Huxley experienced on mescaline was for him due to
the drug's disabling effect upon the cosmic reducing valve. The brain under the influence of
mescaline is no longer able to filter out the thoughts and intuitions irrelevant to earthly life
(because appropriate to the upwardly contiguous levels of consciousness) - hence the experience
of a vastly larger mental space. This type of explanation would have been readily understandable
to the ancient Greek philosopher
au=
Socrates who viewed learning (through experience or
education) as simply a mechanism by which latent knowledge is recollected. A computational
state space configuration which cannot be duplicated in space can neither be duplicated in time,
except by virtue of the additional advantage
@$
afforded by substantial continuity. Somehow the
quantum no-cloning theorem does not apply to two or more identical states of the same system.
Genealogy is the temporal component of meaning-purveying context.

Moreover, a state space configuration which cannot be duplicated in time can neither be duplicated
in space. In an infinite state space, there are an infinite number of available states, and so the
probability of any one state occurring is, formally speaking, zero. However, if the state space has
a nonpermutational/combinational structure, then it is possible for individual states to be
overdetermined with a given state representing an infinite number of different "configurations"
within the state space. This would be the case if the state space is that belonging to a computing
device possessing genuine memory. For the device would either remember that it had been in the
exact same computational state before, in which case it would have to be in a new state slightly
different from the one it "remembers" being in previously, or it would not remember ever having
been in that state which it had occupied in the past. The device could only really succeed in
exactly remembering one of its previous states if the device had

1) been in operation for an infinite period of time and,

2) the device possessed a memory of infinite size so as to adequately contain an infinitely
regressive self-representation of one of its previous states, itself an infinitely regressive
self-representation. A state space configuration can only be copied if it is locally separable from
the nonlocally connected environment which contains it.

Otherwise, the state cannot be defined sharply enough in order to be copied.

Separating the state from the nonlocally connected (non-representational) environment in which it
is embedded, in order to try to copy it spatially, results in the destruction of the state earlier than, or
just before, a complete description of the state is in hand, and which is required as a template. The
velocity of light limits the transmission speed of intersubjective data which must be carried on a
carrier signal of energy greater than /\E, the energy uncertainty of the nonlocally connected
quantum substrate through which the carrier propagates. That which is locally separable from its
physical environment is a nonrepresentational abstraction. An abstract system is a
re-presentation if it remains connected to its defining context; if it remains coupled to the medium
in which it historically originated. Semantical symbol manipulations are characterized by
transformations of symbols through the alteration of the defining contexts in which the symbols
are "embedded." Syntactical symbol manipulations are characterized by transformations of
symbols through the application of rules of inference to the symbols within a constant defining
context. It is perhaps possible to see that syntactical and semantical transformations are mutually
"orthogonal" operations.

Recursive relationships involve a content, theorem or proposition, in at least two distinct
contextual levels. Infinitely recursive functions, therefore, whether they be propositional,
mathematical, etc., may constitute a kind of hybridized operation possessing both semantical and
logic features simultaneously. Is it a valid line of speculation to suppose that since some
particles which are virtual within an inertial frame of reference, become real particles with respect
to an accelerated, or noninertial, reference frame, therefore inertia/gravitation must bear some
intimate connection with the phenomenon of the "collapse of the wavefunction," since this
phenomenon means the rendering as "real" one among the many superposed virtual quantum
states? Is particle production associated with nonadiabatic, and hence, irreversible, changes in
the energy density of the quantum vacuum electromagnetic field?

October 1996
We know that nonadiabatic changes in the boundary conditions of the infinite potential
well problem results in a transition of the particle energy to an excited state with respect to the new
wavefunction describing the new potential well resulting from this sudden change. This suggests
that perhaps irreversible, or, nonadiabatic, changes in a quantum mechanical system are necessary
for the wavefunction describing it to undergo "collapse." Perhaps changes in the boundary
conditions of the (non?)locally connected vacuum can be modeled upon a change in the dynamics
of this vacuum in the absence of changes of the boundary conditions. Perhaps all changes in the
dynamics of the nonlocally connected vacuum are only measurable in terms of their manifestation
as changes in the boundary conditions of a locally connected quantum system. When the
boundary conditions applied to a given wavefunction are treated classically, then nonadiabatic
changes in the boundary conditions will usually result in a discontinuous change in the
wavefunction, i.e., a collapse in the wavefunction. But if the classical boundary conditions are
themselves treated quantum-mechanically, then the composite wavefunction will not suffer a
collapse, but will evolve according to the time-dependent Schrodinger wave equation.

January 1997
Is a nonadiabatic change to be understood as a change in vacuum boundary conditions
which cannot be expected (by the vacuum itself) because /\B//\t > /\B x h//\E ?It is clear in a
geometrically intuitive sense that transformations of entities which are not truly independent and
separable from an open-ended context or system in which they are grounded cannot be genuinely
reversible but only abstractly to within a certain approximation. Participatory knowledge
transcends abstract description in terms of abstract representations of independent "things" or
entities. This is the knowledge based in the intimate interaction with the open-ended. Is it
possible to not be in an eigenstate of any quantum mechanical observable whatever? Does this
describe the normal condition which the quantum vacuum finds itself in? If the mode of
interaction of real particles with real particles, i.e., real-real interactions, is correctly described as
deterministically ordered, and the mode of interaction of real with virtual particles as randomly
ordered, then should we describe the mode of interaction of virtual particles with themselves as
both random and deterministic ?

Is a superposition state possible in the absence of wavefunction boundary conditions? Are some
superpositions well-formed in the sense that they can be inverse Fourier-transformed to a unique
eigenstate with respect to a definable observable? Are some ill-formed in the contrary sense of
not possessing an inverse Fourier-transform to a unique eigenstate of a single observable?
Perhaps well-formed superposition states may only be defined given appropriate spacetime
boundary conditions, i.e., initial and boundary conditions. Notice that when a measurement is
performed upon one of the separated particles of an EPR type experiment, that the particles remain
nonlocally connected after the "collapse of the wavefunction" describing the particles jointly,
although the particles are now nonlocally connected in a new way precipitated by the observer's
act of measurement. Has the observer simply succeeded in discontinuously altering the inertial
frame of reference in which the particle pair is embedded. If so, doesn't he do this by accelerating
the particles? Are the nonlocal connections within the observer's mind merely apiece with the
nonlocally connected vacuum state in which his brain is embedded, and so when he performs his
measurement upon the particle pair, the pair must "jump into" a new nonlocally connected
vacuum state, resulting in a discontinuous change in its superposition state? Does the observer
recoil nonadiabatically into a new nonlocally-connected vacuum upon performing an act of
quantum measurement which induces what appears to him as a wavefunction collapse? Must the
vacuum possess infinite self-similarity so that "identical events" may unfold with different rates of
temporal evolution, depending upon which inertial frame of reference they are "viewed from?"
Self-similarity can never be exact. If the vacuum state were merely locally connected, then its
temporal evolution "as a whole" would necessarily follow along a predetermined continuum of
vacuum states. However, a nonlocally connected vacuum state creates its own trajectory as it
evolves temporally.

I am trying to build a case for distinguishing between two seemingly very different descriptions of
the process of quantum measurement, namely, the discontinuous collapse of the wavefuntion of
the quantum mechanical system being observed/measured from a similar collapse of the
wavefunction describing the mind of the observer performing the measurement, which is to say,
the Copenhagen from the "Many Worlds" interpretation. As is well known, Newton's law of
gravitation may be given a Gaussian formulation exactly paralleling the electromagnetic flux law.
What is surprising is that the black hole mass of a given radius may also be given a Gaussian
formulation.

To wit, 1/4piG x Int(Hc) x dS = Mblackhole.

It is possible to "derive" the Pauli Exclusion
Principle from the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle. This may be shown in the following
manner. If two spin-1/2 particles of the same quantum mechanical system were to be in the same
quantum state - what is precisely forbidden by the Pauli principle, say two electrons "orbiting" the
same hydrogen nucleus, it would be possible for us to measure the kinetic energy (a function of
momentum) of one of the electrons, and then to measure the potential energy (a function of
position) of the other electron with the result that we would have demonstrated the existence of a
quantum mechanical state possessing, simultaneously, an exact potential and an exact kinetic
energy; but this is precisely what is forbidden to exist by the Heisenberg uncertainty principle -
QED.

June 1997
This conclusion does not go through, however, if the requirement is made that two particles
which are in the same quantum state must be described by one and the same wavefunction.

The Feynmann path - integral formalism of relativistic quantum field theory indicates that real
particles, i.e., fundamental particles whose mass - energy is greater than the quantum mechanical
energy uncertainty of the quantum mechanical system to which they belong, may be represented as
stable and interlocking patterns of vacuum energy fluctuation, that is, as patterns of virtual particle
creation, annihilation, and particle (fermion and boson) exchange processes which form with one
another a stable, interconnected meshwork of feedback loops of virtual particle reactions.

June 1997
It is not certain what the concept of stability means within the context of virtual particle
processes. "Stable" certainly does not mean here persistence of a structure against fluctuations or
perturbations - thermal or otherwise, since the virtual particle processes themselves are the
fluctuation phenomena. Stability must mean in this case the relatively unchanging probabilities
of recurring patterns of quantum fluctuation manifesting themselves as virtual particle reactions.

Thus, real fundamental particles are viewed within this formalism as mere excitations of the
vacuum (ground) state with more complex matter structures, e.g., atoms, molecules, etc., as
feedback structures into which these vacuum excitations are organized - provided that adequate
excitation energy is available.

One possible test as to whether or not a given particle is composite or simple might be: does the
particle have a virtual counterpart, i.e., can the particle be produced out or the vacuum as a pure
energy fluctuation - out of a fluctuation of purely imaginary4-momentum? Although in theory
it should be possible to produce whole atoms, molecules, or more complex matter structures
through direct excitation of the vacuum state (see above paragraph), the intelligent coordination of
the myriad and highly localized excitations required to do this, from within any particular modified
vacuum state, is probably rendered impossible due to the inherent uncertainty of total energy
which is responsible for vacuum fluctuations: certain existing boundary conditions to the matrix
of vacuum fluctuations may already be immediately present - in the form of already created
particles, molecules, etc., but these boundary conditions cannot be produced ab initio, but may
only be "reproduced," utilizing identical pre-existing boundary conditions (in the form of already
available matter) as template and catalyst for the reproduction of the desired vacuum boundary
conditions. Any instrumentalities which we might employ to alter the vacuum field boundary
conditions would only be effective by virtue of the vacuum field fluctuations themselves which
mediate their action; we must realize that the imposition of genuinely new boundary conditions
upon the vacuum, i.e., without the utilization of a "template," even if locally, would imply a
change in the global boundary conditions of the entire vacuum energy system ( the entire
spacetime continuum). On the view of matter and vacuum which is espoused here, matter is
seen as not having an existence independent of the vacuum energy field, rather, the stability of
matter at all levels of its hierarchical structure, is underpinned by the myriad field energy
fluctuations of the quantum vacuum. Consequently, matter does not possess an independent
existence in the Demarcatean sense of "atoms and void;" our view is more consonant with that put
forward by Heraclitus, to wit, that everything is composed "of fire in measures kindling and in
measures going out;" all change is driven by the clash of opposites and all potential for change
lies with the tension between these opposites.

Here "fire" is given the modern physical interpretation as "vacuum energy" and the "clash of
opposites," as the creation and annihilation operators ( 2nd quantization of quantum theory) into
which all operators corresponding to physical "observables" are analyzable. What Heraclitus'
physics lacked was a basis for physical continuity from one moment of time to the next; the
reproduction of vacuum boundary conditions (in virus - like manner) supplies this missing element
within modern physics. Within this understanding of the relationship between matter and
vacuum Democritus' notion of persisting "substance" no longer has any application and the
continuous existence of real matter particles consists in the continual recreation of a coherent and
interlocking pattern of virtual particle reactions which is apiece with the larger pattern of vacuum
energy fluctuations within the indefinite surrounding region of spacetime.

October 1996
The basic idea behind a perturbative analysis of a quantum system is that one is not able
to write down with infinite precision the exact Hamiltonian of the system under consideration and
so one describes the energy of the system in terms of a Hamiltonian plus a perturbation energy.
This perturbation energy is usually the first nonzero term in an expansion of energy terms where
additional terms are progressively smaller and must be neglected since to include them poses
analytic intractability. In other words, one does not have the precise energy eigenfunction
expansion of the system's wavefunction; if one did, then one could in theory prepare the system in
any one of its energy eigenstates where the system would exist at a precisely defined energy for all
time, assuming the system were not interfered with as a result of exchanging energy with some
other system. But since the Hamiltonian of a quantum mechanical system is always a function of
the system's momentum and position, which are incompatible observables, the energy of the
system, which is a function of both the system's particle/field momentum and particle/field source
position, can never be precisely defined. In this way we see that energy perturbations are not an
ad hoc and practically useful accounting device needed to make up for a merely practical, and,
hence, theoretically removable, ignorance concerning the system's real energy eigenfunction
expansion. Rather, perturbations to the system's energy - any system's energy - are not merely
artifacts of a perturbative analysis, but are ontologically real and not due to a temporary inability to
specify the system's true energy eigenfunction expansion. There is a small component of the
perturbation energy which is forever irremediable and represents the exchange of energy between
any quantum system and another quantum system which is always present.

An important conclusion to be drawn for quantum theory here is that, the wavefunction only
represents the most that can be known about a quantum system in the absence of the irremovable
perturbations. We might be tempted to speculate here that more can be known about a quantum
system than can be contained in any wavefunction provided that the effect of the irremovable
perturbations are included. If the objective and the subjective are considered to be disjoint
categories, then we may say that just as the wavefunction represents the most that can be
objectively known about a quantum system, what can be subjectively known about a quantum
system in due entirely to influences lying altogether outside all possible wavefunction descriptions
of the system. Such influences, collectively, are the so-called irremovable perturbations. We
must not straight-away identify such "irremovable perturbations" with the virtual particles and
fields of relativistic quantum field theory as these entities are largely artifacts of low order
perturbative analysis involving perturbations which are largely removable, in theory, should the
observer acquire greater knowledge of the system under observation. What uniquely
distinguishes virtual particles and fields from their real counterparts does, perhaps, point to some
of the properties of the medium with which all quantum systems forever exchange energy, leading
to the so-called irremovable perturbations.

Therefore, the introduction of matter particles into a volume of spacetime is not distinct in
principle from creating these particles ab initio from a portion of the vacuum energy already
present within this particular volume of spacetime; in an inertial frame of reference, a real matter
particle imparts an excitation energy to the vacuum such that a particle identical to itself is created
out of the fluctuating vacuum field energy; at the same time the previous particle is destroyed, its
mass-energy providing the excitation energy necessary to re-create itself anew. In an accelerated,
or more generally, a non-inertial reference frame, the particles mass-energy excites the vacuum
field in a different manner, continually producing a new variety of particles to take its place. It
has often been noted in the literature of modern physics that particle production from the vacuum
state is to be expected within curved spacetimes. This leads us to the idea that merely localized
alterations in boundary conditions of the vacuum field in no way alters the total energy density of
the region occupied by the vacuum field, but merely changes the ratio of mass - energy to vacuum
energy from zero to some fraction approaching infinity (in the case of black hole masses). The
general relativistic alteration in the local velocity of light may be understood in terms of Mach's
formula for the speed of sound in an energy conducting medium in its application to the quantum
vacuum. Mach's formula states that the velocity of sound in an energy conducting medium is a
function of the pressure and the energy density of the medium. Specifically, the velocity of sound
in the medium is the square root of the pressure of the medium times the speed of light squared
divided by the energy density of the medium.

Since the pressure of the vacuum is equal to its energy density, and the pressure of matter is
effectively zero, the energy density and pressure terms in Mach's formula are the total energy
density and pressure of space, respectively; the pressure of the vacuum is always equal to its
energy density, which decreases in step with the increase in the mass-energy density. By letting
the total energy density of space equal to the sum of the vacuum energy and mass-energy densities,
i.e., Etot = Ev + Em, and the vacuum pressure equal to the modified vacuum energy density, i.e.,
Ev' = Ev - Em, Mach's formula works out to vsound = sqrt[(Ev - Em)c2/Etot] which reduces to the
result, vsound = [1 - GM/RC2] * c, and this result is identical to the reduced local value of the
speed of light calculated from general relativity (in the weak field limit). Our requirement of no
spatial variation in the total energy density of space, i.e., that the mass-energy and vacuum energy
densities are complementary, seems to demand that the density of gravitational energy density
cont=

If we are correct in reinterpreting the gravitational redshift of photons propagating in a spatially
varying gravitational potential as being due to a spatial variation in the zero-point of the vacuum's
energy (against which the photon's energy is to be measured), then the imposition of boundary
conditions upon the vacuum field merely produces local and discontinuous variations in the spatial
(and temporal) distribution of the field energy, leading to the appearance of negative binding
energies which exactly counterbalance the positive gains in mass - energy which thereto result; it is
in this sense that mass-energy may be thought to occupy a "hollow" in the vacuum energy field and
the "displaced" vacuum energy has merely assumed a new form as mass-energy. Meff =
Mr/sqrt(1 - (c')2/(c)2), where Mr = binding mass and Meff = effective mass. The binding mass
stems from the sum of all (+) and (-) non-gravitational binding energies. The accumulation of
many such discontinuous energy gradients submicroscopically leads to the appearance,
macroscopically, of continuous energy gradients in the vacuum. Since the energy of the vacuum
field owes its existence entirely to the quantum mechanical energy uncertainty of spacetime, in
turn owing to the fact that the energy Hamiltonian is a function of mutually incompatible
observables, it follows that the vacuum field shares in the general properties of quantum
mechanical energy uncertainty. One such property is that energy uncertainty is required for any
discrete change in a quantum mechanical observable; for example, all changes in a physical system
stem from the application of forces upon the system while all fundamental forces of nature are
mediated via the exchange of virtual bosons between fermions composing the system.

@$
Consequently, physical processes undergo temporal evolution only insofar as they comprise
quantum mechanical systems possessing finite energy uncertainty, with the rates of the component
processes determined by the magnitude of system energy uncertainty. A fermion-boson quantum
mechanical system may be thought of as an interconnected meshwork of temporal fermion energy
transitions with spatial boson momentum transitions, with the fermion wavefunctions and boson
wavefunctions being antisymmetric and symmetric, respectively, so that increasing the density of
interacting fermions and bosons within a particular region of spacetime results in a decrease in the
energy uncertainty and increase in the momentum uncertainty of the vacuum state, respectively.

November 1996
Any wavefunction may be alternately represented as a sum of symmetric and
antisymmetric wavefunctions. If one calculates the probability density function for a
wavefunction in this new representation, one is tempted to give some physical interpretation of the
three distinct components which result.

X*X = X*symXsym + X*antiXanti + 2X*symXanti

The first term represents the probability function resulting from the mutual interaction of bosons
while the second term represents the probability function resulting from the mutual interaction of
fermions. The third term may represent the probability function resulting from the interaction of
bosons and fermions with each other.

July 1997
In Fourier analysis, a function which satisfies the
prn=
Dirichlet conditions, may always be
represented as a
prn=
Fourier sum of weighted sine and cosine functions of the bounded variables.
@$
We note here that this function may be represented as either purely even or purely odd, i.e., as
either purely a Fourier sum of cosine functions or sine functions, provided that the appropriate
transformation of the coordinate system is performed within which the Fourier expansion is to be
computed. In direct analogy to what has been said concerning Fourier analysis, we may say that
through a judicious transformation of the spacetime coordinates, we may represent an arbitrary
wavefunction as either of purely even parity or of purely odd parity. The notable exception to this
is what we cannot do, however: take a wavefunction of purely even parity and transform the
coordinate system so that this function is now represented as possessing purely odd parity, or vice
versa. Continuing with our analogy, we cannot represent a sine function in terms of a sum of
cosine functions and so on. We cannot do this, as was said, through a transformation of the
spacetime coordinates, however, an odd function can be readily converted into an even function
and vice versa through the mere addition of a phase factor ( of pi/2 ) within the argument of the
function we wish to transform. We know that if an operator does not commute with the
Hamiltonian operator, then the observable corresponding to the first operator cannot be a
conserved quantity. Conversely, any operator which commutes with the Hamiltonian will be tied
to a change in the total energy of the system if this operator itself suffers any changes. It is well
known that parity is conserved within the theory of both the electromagnetic and strong nuclear
interactions. This is all to suggest that an alteration of the momentum-energy tensor through the
judicious insertion of phase factors into each momentum and energy eigenfunction, may result in a
transformation of the momentum-energy eigenfunction, Psi(x,y,z,t), without altering the
momentum-energy tensor, Ti,k itself. (See spontaneous symmetry breaking in gauge theory and
its artifact exchange boson, which results from the transition from global to local field symmetry)
This is just saying that the wavefunction representing the quantum mechanical system with
momentum-energy tensor, Ti,k, is itself degenerate with respect to the phase. We may deduce
from this that matter cannot exist in either a purely fermionic or purely bosonic state. Otherwise,
we would be in a position to alter the tensor, Ti,k, describing this matter distribution, through a
non-coordinate transformation, namely, through the mere introduction of an arbitrary nonperiodic
phase factor into the energy eigenfunction representing this mass distribution. This would
constitute a stark violation of the Equivalence Principle of General Relativity which implies that
each distinct stress-momentum-energy distribution, as represented by T, uniquely correlates to a
distinct curvature of the spacetime metric. To wit, matter must always exist as a mixed system of
fermions and bosons, namely, any given real matter distribution must be described by a
wavefunction which is neither purely symmetric nor purely antisymmetric. This figures into the
necessity of any quantum field giving rise to virtual particles.

November 1996
By calculating expectation values for various observables for the quantum vacuum,
such as <p>, <E>, <p2>, <E2>, etc., we may be able to exploit our intuitions about what
X*qX(vac), where q is the observable in question, must be in order to guess at the probable
relationships of these various vacuum expectation values.

The relativistic effects upon kinematics (space and time) are grounded in the relativistic effects
upon the dynamics through the conservation of momentum-energy. We believe, for instance, that
the relativistic contraction of the positional uncertainty of a particle, say, and the relativistic time
dilation (of the particle's lifetime, if it is unstable), do not lie behind the dilation of /\p and
contraction of /\E, respectively through the Heisenberg uncertainty relations. This would be to
ground dynamical effects in mere kinematics. Rather, the kinematics should be grounded in the
dynamics: the effects on space and time are epiphenomenal to the substantive effects associated
with the conservation of momentum-energy. This is thought to take place through the Heisenberg
uncertainty relations for position/momentum and time/energy. Changes in the components of the
momentum-energy tensor cause alterations in the tensor of stress-momentum-energy uncertainty.
We may suppose that the presence of real fermions reduces the number of available vacuum
fermionic energy states while the presence of real bosons increases the number of available virtual
bosonic momentum states, relative to the reduced number of virtual fermionic energy states. In
this manner, more virtual energy transitions occurring within the vacuum state must be effected via
similar transitions occurring within the massive body in question. This situation is consistent with
the effect mass has upon the surrounding vacuum of simultaneously decreasing the energy
uncertainty and increasing the momentum uncertainty radially about the gravitating massive body.
A general result of the preceding discussion is that the accumulation of mass - energy, more
particularly binding energy, within a volume of spacetime causes a corresponding reduction in the
density of energy uncertainty (vacuum energy), in turn resulting in a corresponding decrease in the
rate at which physical processes occur within this particular region of spacetime. How are we to
understand so-called energy-degenerate transitions within the vacuum state, which is to say,
transitions within the vacuum state not involving a change in the vacuum's energy? The
degenerate wavefunctions represent the possibility of change which falls outside of the physically
temporal.

An important question in this connection is whether gravitational time dilation shall have any
effect upon the frequency of energy degenerate transitions. Is the density matrix an
approximation made in lieu of the actual wavefunction which we are for merely practical reasons
unable to specify, or does a quantum system sometimes not possess a bona fide wavefunction at
all? What relation does the 2nd rank tensor relating two different virtual particle current densities
have to the momentum-energy tensor of GR...to the metric tensor of GR? Would an exceedingly
intense beam of coherent electromagnetic radiation (laser beam) result in a kind of anti-squeezed
state? This might have the precisely opposite effect to that of the Casimir Effect which normally
induces an expansion of the momentum uncertainty along two orthogonal directions to the axis
along which the conducting plates are oriented. A question here is whether the momentum
uncertainty along the time axis (the energy uncertainty) is also dilated due to a squeezing of the
momentum uncertainty between the plates. The token reflexives, here and now, seem to
presuppose the token-reflexive, I, or me. Conversely, the token-reflexives, I, or me, seem to
equally presuppose the token-reflexives, here and now. This seems to suggest that the nonlocal
connections, manifested in the relations of virtual particles/fields to abstract spacetime may also be
essential in mediating the individual consciousness of observers interacting with spacetime.
Within the context of an expanding universe, then, matter does not merely alter the density of the
vacuum, but also alters the rate at which the density of the vacuum energy decreases with time due
to cosmological expansion, and since the time rate of change in energy density is, itself, a physical
process, matter, by reducing the energy uncertainty of the vacuum, also causes a radially varying
vacuum field energy density which manifests itself as a spherically symmetric energy gradient
centered about a mass which is identical to the gravitational field!

There is an exponential
relationship involved here with the effect of cosmological expansion upon the time rate of change
of vacuum energy density. The discrete cosmological redshift may be understood in terms of the
model suggested here, c.f., WKB approximation of electron tunneling problem. Certain versions
of Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) call for a gravitational constant with an exponential
factor giving rise to the small anomalous constant acceleration which has been observed producing
inaccuracies in the charting of deep space probe trajectories, c.f., Pioneer Anomaly and the papers

Changes in the composition of the total energy density of a region of space with respect to the
proportions of mass - energy and vacuum energy are reflected in the transformation of the
spatio-temporal variation in vacuum energy density from being purely temporal, in the case of free
space, to a mixture of two parts, temporal and spatial, in the case of typical distributions of matter,
to a purely spatial variation of vacuum energy density, in the case of black hole masses; and there
is a homologous mapping between the degree of tipping of the Minkowski light cone in curved
spacetimes and the degree of transformation of a temporally varying vacuum energy into one
which is purely spatial in its variation. Within curved spacetimes, the local value of the velocity
of light is reduced below its normal value in "free space," and this may be envisioned as a
narrowing of the hypersolid angle swept out by the Minkowski light cone centered at a given point
within this region possessing a gravitational potential. This contraction in the area of the
hypersurface of the Minkowski light cone may be alternately described in terms of a light cone
which suffers no contraction of its hypersurface area, but a decrease in the uniform density of
vacuum energy occupying the uncontracted light cone surface, and hence
@$
the equivalence of the
spacetime curvature with the spatiotemporal variation in vacuum energy density.

If we are correct in positing an exact equivalence between spacetime curvature and
spatio-temporal variations in the density of the vacuum's zero-point energy, then the phenomenon
of particle production in a spatially or temporally varying spacetime curvature, or via the
equivalence principle, due to the effects of noninertial motion, may be explained alternatively in
terms of spatial or temporal variations in the boundary conditions on the vacuum field such that
spatial or temporal variations in its zero-point energy result. In this scenario, the existence of real
particles is understood as just a manifestation of zero-point energy from the vantage point of a
noninertial frame of reference or equivalently, from the standpoint of a region of the vacuum
possessing "less restrictive" boundary conditions than the region of the vacuum in which the
particles appear. On account of the precisely thermal spectrum of the particles produced within
curved spacetimes and also due to the unique requirement of a thermal spectrum for the vacuum
itself in order that it possess Lorenz invariance, an entropy may be meaningfully assigned to both
the vacuum as well as the particles produced from it as a result of the imposed vacuum boundary
conditions.

June 2011
There must be a degeneracy in how energy uncertainty in the vacuum is transformed into
3-momentum uncertainty such that entropy is increased, i.e., there is a choice among alternative
ways to effect this transformation that is not determined by the initial and boundary conditions.
For example, lifting a particle out of a gravitational potential and allowing it to fall back to its
starting point involves a path-dependence in addition to creating an open loop in spacetime and
so necessarily involves the production of some entropy. The equivalence principle strongly
suggests that freely falling motion in a gravitational field should be viewed as analogous to inertial
motion in pre-relativity physics and special relativity, c.f.,

quantum entanglement, polarization and magnetization, electric field permittivity and magnetic
field permeability, Heisenberg 3-momentum and energy uncertainty, spin-0, spin-1 and composite
spin-2 correlated vacuum fluctuations, Einsteins causality principle versus the so-called Bohms
causality principle.

Since this production of particles from the vacuum state due to imposed boundary
conditions is a reversible process, because the particles are reabsorbed if the boundary conditions
are later removed, the change in the entropy of the vacuum field must be exactly compensated by
the entropy increase due the particle creation so that the total entropy of the particle - vacuum
system is a constant. The Feynmann path integral technique for calculating the ground state
energies of atoms may ( in principle ) similarly be utilized to calculate the ground state energy of
the vacuum state of free space or, indeed, the vacuum state of a region of space in which a
gravitational field is present. It is probable that fewer paths comprise the Feynmann integral
where a gravitational field is present than in the free space vacuum; this limits the number of valid
available paths along which energy may be exchanged between two points in this particular region
of spacetime - hence the reduced value of the integral, and in turn, the decreased value of the
vacuum state energy in this region. The reduced number of Feynmann paths, or histories, means
that the vacuum's ability to exchange energy with itself, as well as its ability to exchange energy
with particles and fields, and thusly to mediate the exchange of energy between particles and fields
among themselves, is correspondingly diminished so that the rate at which the vacuum's energy
density decreases with time ( due to the expansion of the universe ) is likewise diminished.

In light of the diminished self-energy of the vacuum, the resultant increased inertial mass
of particles within this altered vacuum may be viewed in two distinct, but fundamentally similar
ways. First, the diminished capacity of the vacuum to undergo energy exchange with itself means
that it is more difficult for the gravitational field energy to redistribute itself in response to changes
in the matter distribution within the altered vacuum state; consequently, by the general
equivalence of gravitational and inertial masses, it follows that there is an equal difficulty for
matter configurations to change their distributions in response to impressed external forces
attempting to accelerate these mass configurations. This is further theoretical evidence for the
complementary relationship between the mass energy density and the vacuum energy density
which together define the total energy density of any particular region of spacetime. Moreover, if
there are already existing particles both prior and subsequent to the imposition of the vacuum
boundary conditions, then the masses of these previously existing particles is expected to increase
in accordance with the decrease in the vacuum energy density (and vice versa); this is consistent
with viewing particle production more generally as an increase in mass within the region of
varying vacuum energy - as the conversion of vacuum energy into mass - energy: the fraction by
which particle masses are increased in transporting them from a region of higher vacuum energy
density to one of lower density must complement the fraction by which the vacuum energy density
decreases between these two points.

This means that the maximum density of mass possible within a certain spherical region is
equal to the maximum density of particles which may be created from the vacuum energy
occupying this region, via excitation of the vacuum state. We arrive at the interesting result that
the density of the vacuum energy in a certain spherical volume of free space (where no
mass-energy is present) is precisely equal to the mass-energy density of a black hole which could
possible occupy this same volume. One important idea which suggests itself within the context of
this discussion is the famous cosmological constant problem and the discordant interpretations of
it within quantum theory and general relativity theory. There is a 46 order of magnitude
discrepancy between the calculations of the value of this constant within these two theories, hence
the profound difficulties in developing a consistent theory of quantum gravity! Now if the energy
of the vacuum is interpreted as suggested by the work of Sakharov and more recently by the
zero-point energy gravitation theory of Hal Puthoff then rather than being, itself, a source of
gravitational fields, like particle or field energy, the energy of the vacuum would merely be the
mediator of gravitation so that differences in gravitational potential would correspond exactly to
differences in the energy density of the vacuum at two different points in spacetime. A uniform
distribution of vacuum field energy would therefore have no more effect upon matter particles
within this energy distribution than would a series of concentric mass shells upon the matter
particles contained within them; which is to say, no effect whatever, and this due to the precise
mutual cancellation of the combined perturbations to the matter particles by the fluctuating
vacuum energy field. Thus, only differences in vacuum energy density would have any meaning
so that the overall vacuum energy density would play no role in the definition of Einstein's
cosmological constant, and there would be no necessity of postulating a unique exchange particle
mediating the gravitational force; gravity would not in this case be viewed as a fundamental force
as are the electromagnetic, strong and weak nuclear forces, but would be understood as a
"parasitic" force stemming from the imposing of boundary conditions upon the combined vacuum
electromagnetic, strong and weak nuclear fields which together owe their existence to the
fundamental energy uncertainty of the vacuum state, described by an energy Hamiltonian which is
a function of incompatible observables.

The pure imaginary momentum of all "rest masses" within the 4 - hyperspherical cosmological
model may be justified beyond its value as a convenient mathematical formalism if these masses
are viewed as presently being in the act of tunneling through a hyperspherically symmetric
potential barrier. The gradient of this hyperspherical potential would be a four - vector with
components 1,2, and 3 vanishing in free space, but transforming through multiplication by a tensor
into a new four - vector with non-vanishing spatial components, resulting in the appearance of a
gravitational field. Certainly this tensor is the matter-stress-energy tensor described in the field
equations of Einstein; the only difference is that the vacuum energy does not contribute to the
value of T, the matter-stress-energy tensor, which is responsible for altering the metric tensor
which describes the curvature of spacetime, or alternatively, the spatiotemporal variation in the
vacuum field energy density. It is perhaps now easier to see at an intuitive level why the field
equations of general relativity predict the existence of a universe which is either globally
contracting or expanding: unless the energy density of the vacuum field is temporally varying in
free space, the matter-stress-energy tensor operates upon a zero four-vector (representing the
gradient of the hyperspherical potential) and the introduction of matter distributions, represented
by the matter-stress-energy tensor, into this vacuum field, cannot produce a non-zero four-vector,
namely, non-vanishing spatial components of the free space four-vector, i.e., a gravitational field.
Within this particular cosmological model, the energy, linear 4-momentum, and angular
4-momentum of a particle is always conserved, regardless of motions or accelerations which it
might undergo as a result of interactions with other particles and fields.

We are saying here that gravitation is, itself, a four-vector, whose magnitude is always conserved
independently of the matter distribution. The matter-stress-energy distribution within a particular
volume of space merely alters the decomposition of this four-vector into a new set of vector
components in much the same way that a boost, rotation or translation produces a new
decomposition of the Minkowski four-vector which describes the instantaneous world segment of
a particle; hence, matter distributions manifest themselves as tensor fields in spacetime. If the
gravitational field owed its existence to the presence of matter-stress-energy distributions in
spacetime, then we would certainly describe the gravitational field as being itself a tensor field;
however, the gravitational field is actually a conserved four-vector ( in the sense that the
magnitude of this vector is conserved ), and this four-vector owes its existence to the inverse
square decrease in the vacuum's zero-point energy density in combination with the inverse cubic
decrease in the mass-energy density which results due to the process of cosmological expansion.
The action of matter distributions, however, must be described in terms of a tensor field; again, the
gravitational field, itself, is not a tensor field; the action of mass upon this field is, however,
tensorial in nature. As we know, from the many discussions of attempts to produce quantum
gravity theories, quantization of a 2nd order tensor field results in the appearance of a spin 2 boson
which acts as the unique exchange particle mediating the tensor field. The four-dimensional
zero-point energy gradient does not transform itself with time in free space in a manner which
necessitates a tensor description; consequently, gravitons will not be present in free space as
vacuum field fluctuations; however, any valid theory of quantum gravity ( assuming one is
possible ) demands, along with the uncertainty principle, that the total vacuum field contain virtual
gravitons in its mix of fluctuating energy, but because a tensor does not describe the
transformation with time of the free space vacuum, the quantization of the total free space vacuum
field cannot include spin 2 particles, which is to say, the free space quantum mechanical vacuum
does not possess virtual gravitons and hence does not possess (per se) gravitational field
fluctuations. Consequently, gravitons do not exist in regions where matter distributions are
present so that the search for gravitational waves must turn out to be a fruitless endeavor.

Another way in which the imaginary coefficient may be justified is to note that the rate at
which the vacuum energy density decreases with time is proportional to the vacuum energy
density itself, just as are the time rates of all physical processes, so that if the vacuum energy
density is reinterpreted as its probability density (in terms of the square of the vacuum
wavefunction amplitude), then the negative exponential time evolution of the vacuum
probability density implies that the vacuum has a purely imaginary four - momentum with a four
velocity of magnitude c. The effect of accelerations, for instance, upon a particle is merely to
change the distribution of its total linear/angular momentum within the conserved 4-quantity.
The perhelion shift in the orbit of Mercury, predicted by general relativity, may be simply
understood as a cyclic redistribution of the planet's 4-angular momentum as it moves around its
orbit so that the 3-dimensional projection of it 4-angular momentum varies sinusoidally with the
orbital period; this causes Mercury's 3-angular momentum to be slightly greater than that predicted
by classical mechanics, producing the observed advance in perhelion. The black hole, as noted
earlier, represents mass-energy in its most compressed state. For maximum symmetrical energy
exchange between any two shells occupying a given volume of matter ( of uniform density ) where
the density of vacuum energy exchanges is proportional to the density of the vacuum energy itself,
we require that the density of mass-energy decrease with the inverse square because certainly the
density of bundled energy trajectories (along which all energy exchanges occur) must also fall off
with the inverse square due simply to the geometry of spherically symmetric radiation of energy in
3 dimensions. We expect the density of exchange energy, due to vacuum field fluctuations, to be
proportional to the density of energy so exchanged because it has already been established that the
rate at which all physical processes occur is proportional to the density of Heisenberg-uncertain
energy (vacuum energy) and the decrease in the density of this energy with the expansion of the
universe is itself a physical process; moreover, there is a vectorial continuity equation, analogous
to a field equation of Maxwell's, which describes the relationship of spatial and temporal
variations in the density of the vacuum field energy so that the spatial variation of this zero-point
energy will have the same structure as the temporal variation of the zero-point energy due to
cosmological expansion. The question then arises, " what is the structure of this variation in
vacuum energy density in free space, where no mass-energy is present?"

Well, the density of the vacuum zero-point energy is only meaningful as a physical quantity in
relation to the density of the mass-energy just as the energy of a particle is only meaningful in
relation to the energy of the vacuum state, so the general time variation in the mass-energy density
due to cosmological expansion should give us a clue to the manner in which the vacuum energy
density changes with time; provided that our hypothesis of a dynamic vacuum energy mechanism
for gravitational fields is fundamentally correct. Therefore, if we postulate this vacuum
mechanism, then it is clear that the time variation of the vacuum energy density in the universe due
to cosmological expansion must be such that the ratio of the temporal variation in vacuum energy
and mass-energy has the same mathematical structure as the spatial variation in the ratio of these
two densities about massive bodies which acts as a gravitational potential. Since the gravitational
potential decreases inverse linearly so that the strength of the gravitational field itself decreases
with the inverse square, and since the density of vacuum energy (zero-point energy) must be
smaller in stronger gravitational potentials than at weaker ones because gravitational time dilation
increases in step with the increasing potential, it follows that the ratio of mass-energy to vacuum
energy must decrease inverse linearly to mimic the inverse linear variation in the magnitude of
gravitational time dilation; remember that gravitational time dilation is owing to a decrease in
available exchange energy with which all physical processes are mediated. Hence, since the
decrease in mass-energy is with the inverse cube, the decrease in vacuum energy must itself be
with the inverse square. At this point we note that the decrease in black hole energy density is
with the inverse square of black hole radius. We are therefore led to think of a black hole as
constituting the maximum density of mass-energy possible in the sense that all energy exchanges
occurring within the volume of space occupied by the black hole, occur between the black hole and
itself, symmetrically, with no exchange energy left over to mediate matter-vacuum energy
exchanges.

This is presumably why the intensity of gravitational time dilation is infinite at the surface
of a black hole; the vacuum energy fluctuation field (zero-point energy) no longer interacts with
the black hole mass so that no physical processes (which can be communicated to the "outside")
are mediated. As stated earlier, it the interaction of the vacuum zero-point energy with quantum
mechanical systems which is wholly responsible for all changes in the quantum mechanical
observables in the system, i.e., temporality of the system. The theory of quantum
electrodynamics explains the propagation of fermions and bosons in the following manner: a
massless photon propagates through spacetime by continually transforming into an e+e- pair and
back again into a photon of identical energy (assuming a flat spacetime), while an electron
propagates through spacetime by continually transforming into


I thought I would write you, first of all, to thank you for the interpretive astrological chart you
mailed to me a couple of days ago. I could have done so by telephone, but somehow it's more
sincere to reciprocate by writing you - thanks so much for the time and consideration you must
have put into constructing it, as well as explaining its obviously portentous, if to me somewhat
cloudy significance. Even if it turns out that you have enlisted the aid of a computing device in
interpreting it, I remain flattered, nonetheless, by the obvious attention. I have always known that
the horoscopes appearing in your average city newspaper are very much like fortune-cookie
messages. They are so ambiguous that, combined with human suggestibility ( cause for the
unreasonable effectiveness of natural languages ), the component words can't help but conspire to
form an intriguing personal insight, fleeting, as it usually turns out. In the case of this "a boy's
first astrological reading," I'm sentimental in thinking that my chart, lovingly prepared by you,
does, in fact, contain some important hints and warnings which I might do well to meditate on.

Your claim, through the chart, that I need to "do more Leo things," and that I need to seek
out persons with a lot of energy in their earth and air signs in order to balance the plethora of
energy flowing from my water trine (sp?), seems to be really good advice. Also, the fact that the
north node of my moon, representing my path of highest potential, is opposed by Saturn,
representing the influence of my father, or perhaps fatherly influences, appears to explain chronic
problems I've had in the past in self-definition and development. I confess, Leslie, that I haven't
given enough thought to the other messages in my chart. I have already ordered the book, Inner
Sky, from Eliot's, and I've promised myself that I will return to the study of my personal chart
anew, once I feel I've gleaned enough of a working knowledge from reading, or skipping through
the book. Getting back to the ambiguity question. Astrology probably possesses too few
built-in constraints upon its interpretive procedures, the number and variety of which having
steadily increased over the millennia, compared to its relatively smaller and constant number of
possible symbolic structures - notwithstanding the discovery of a few new planets. I nonetheless
feel that it is valuable as a metaphor in a couple of different ways. Firstly, it acknowledges the
fact, kept secret since the Enlightenment, I think, that the development, or unfolding, if you will, of
history is by no means linear or logical, but at once cyclical and suprarational: history, both that of
civilizations as well as that of individual persons, repeats itself interminably, though never exactly
in the same way twice. It is an inextricably intertwined dance between the act of creation and the
act of interpretation. If History seems so amenable to a systematic interpretation, it is only
because so many of the great human figures who have played a role in shaping it have, themselves,
been serious students of history. Secondly, the social relationships which form between persons
place them in various mutual orbits which help to realize or inhibit their multiple though not
altogether consistent potentialities, determining more fully their identity and, hence, their life's
fate. Assimilating the basic handful of distinct personality archetypes to their analogous
astrological signs opens up a rich interpretive structure within which the transformative or
stultifying effects of each personality type upon the other may be predicted and explained. The
positions of the various planets within our Solar system move along cyclical courses, to be sure,
but they never exactly repeat any of their previously held configurations - contrary to what the best
of eighteenth century science might have had to say about it. This seems to grace existence with a
richness of multiple potentialities.

And now, we will practice Microsoft Word by taking notes on Jacques Derrida,"The Retrait of
Metaphor," which was published in ENCLITIC 2:2 (1978): 5-33. As we know, the editors point
out that the article works with two semantic systems for the word RETRAIT, which has a variety
of meanings in French.

The reason that words tend to have myriad meanings is that words coined to denote things or
activities within some original context are borrowed for use in an unfamiliar or less familiar one.
But the first denotative terms were actually metaphor since various images were being assimilated
over time (in the subjective experience of primitive man) to the notion of a thing which appeared
and reappeared. So objects are distilled out of the flux of experience in the developing feedback
between the infant and his environment and constitute a kind of reified metaphor.

Frege held the view that concepts cannot be referred to (as concepts).

And this is what the Self really is. This is somewhat Kantian and is along the lines of what Piaget
says about cognitive development in the sensorimotor stage: the infant learns through interacting
with a reactive environment that the image of her hand moving, the sound it makes when it strikes
a mobile hanging over her crib, the feeling in her hand, the kinesthetic sensations in the arm and
shoulder muscles are all part of the same thing. This integration of sensation has to be learned
from experience. Existence definitely precedes essence and objects in the external world and the
Self emerge from the flux of dissociated sensation simultaneously. We commonly here of the
thrownness of the individual. More correct here is to speak of the thrownness of the self and its
world together in a single act.

Information never once entered ones developing infantile brain.
Rather, data streamed in the form of trains of neural impulses into ones developing brain via the
various sensory nerve channel and were interpreted in terms of context-providing structures,
which were in the midst of being developed by you or, rather, these context-providing structures
and your ego/self were hand-in-hand simultaneously developing.

Metaphor represents the right brain version of the left brain/analytical activity of the instantiation
of abstract categories.
September 2011
Metaphor cuts across the established lines along which abstract
categories are fashioned and seeks a larger umbrella category for two or more contexts whereas
abstraction or abstract thought consistently works within a single context. This distinction is akin
to that between disciplinary and interdisciplinary theoretical research.

There is always somewhat of an insight involved in the use of metaphor and its a linguistic
competency not likely to ever be equaled by a machine. When we learn a language this latent
structure of metaphor lying at various levels beneath the surface of language is subconsciously
assimilated and it conditions and delimits all thought, even at its most creative. Especially then.

Rich as the English language is in media of expression, it is curiously lacking in terms suitable to
the conveyance of abstract philosophical premises. A certain intuitive grasp of the subtler
meanings concealed within groups of inadequate words is necessary therefore to an understanding
of the ancient Mystery Teachings, c.f., The Secret Teachings of All Ages.

Now mostly what Heidegger does when he's doing metaphysics is to unearth this latent structure
by going back, he thinks, much closer to where it originated. Usually in the Greek. When you
read Heidegger you realize that, at bottom, that's all metaphysics really is - it's just archeology of
language, the "mining" of latent metaphors which are masquerading as purely denotative concepts
or logical categories. When I'm doing metaphysics, I always feel that I'm not completely in
control of what I'm thinking and sometimes I feel like I'm more or less a passive vessel into which
insights flow and intuitions crystallize. And that's because I think that I'm supposed to be
utilizing clear and distinct categories although I'm really utilizing metaphor. All of the time, in
fact. This is why logocentrism doesnt really work. And logocentrism is itself the
kwd=
reification
of a metaphor and does not really qualify as a truly denotative concept. Deconstruction
deconstructs itself. The statement that absolute truth is false cannot be absolutely true!
Deconstruction is a giant case of question-begging, I think.


In instantiation of a concept or logical category, the grasping of a particular is prefigured in the
pre-existing concept or form which is not expanded or enlarged through this re-cognition under the
concept of one of its concrete particulars. In metaphor, however, there is a creative
interpretation of the unknown or unfamiliar through the importation of a contextual web of
associations (based in experience) as opposed to logical relations or abstract categories.. A static,
stable order in the old context becomes a dynamic ordering principle whenever it is transplanted
into the new context. The dynamism is generated by the reactivity of the new context as ground
into which a seed or viral contaminant of foreign meaning is introduced. In metaphor an
inductive as opposed to a deductive step is taken which enlarges the original category that was
borrowed. And all of the entities treated of denotatively are, as alluded to already, metaphorical
constructs. This is what makes metaphor open-ended and irreducible in the scope of its action, as
well as translogical. Because logic presupposes metaphorical relationships and so the process by
which formal categories are generally brought about cannot itself be given a formal description,
which is to say, no formal description can be given for how formal descriptions are generally
brought into being. Metaphor, which is prelogical, underlies the production of all formal
categories/abstract concepts. This idea seems to support

presumably inviolate principle come down to us from the ancient Greek philosophers of ex nihilo

Discover all that you are not body, feelings, thoughts, time, space, this

One of the systems has to do with retreats, retracings, withdrawals, and soon: leading to
questions of economy, pathway, passage, and circulation. The second system has to do with
erasure/rubbing but also usury, by which use and wear BUILD UP or increase value/meaning.

There are two kinds of metaphor - two senses in which metaphor is a "Retrait." The first is the
interpretation of the new in terms of the old. The second is the reverse of this: the
reinterpretation of the old in terms of the new, such as a metaphor, suggested, for example, by new
social relations enabled by developments in technology. An example of this might be the drawing
of an analogy between the rise of the Internet and the World Wide Web's impact upon
postmodernity and the social/cultural impact of the printing press upon the Renaissance in Europe
( in terms of the freeing-up of individualism). By making of history a Palimpsest, we make the
transition (passage) into the future less discontinuous and more comprehensible.

Wornness, worn-outness, will be important here as well, since Derrida will be talking about
metaphor as something old, something coming near its end. Is Derrida talking about the ending
of History in the sense of the end of grand narratives?

Myth is metaphysics clothed in metaphor. The most fundamental myth is that of the Ego or
Self-consciousness. The Ego is the most fundamental of myths because it represents the
operation of metaphor at its most fundamental: consciousness is an unbounded flux which is in
continual change along a determined but not predetermined path. The Ego possesses continuity
throughout this fluxion despite its always being the artifact of an ever changing ground. The Ego
always manages to reconstitute itself as such against this changing, grounding flux of altering
consciousness. The Ego in the present moment is always the importation of a structure from the
previous momentary ground (consciousness) into a new one all the while remaining the self same
Ego. Sorry if Im belaboring the obvious.

Derrida begins by pointing out that metaphor works with these notions of passage and circulation:
inhabiting, transporting oneself, passing through, and so on: all of this is of course is good for
poetry in general, and given my fixation, for Vallejo in particular. A key initial idea is that while
we think we "use" metaphor, it in fact comprehends us, sweeps us away, displaces us: we arent
like a pilot in his ship, were DRIFTING, skidding.

The importation of the structuring of the old ground from the preceding moment manages always
(or almost always) to impose a new structure upon the newly emerging ground which returns the
Ego to itself. This return of the Self to Itself continually, all the while the ground of
consciousness fluctuates underneath it, represents the power of metaphor in its greatest generality.

For this reason we might term Mind the metaphor of all metaphors. And that is inevitable, for no
speech is possible without metaphor.

[It is not clear to me why Derrida thinks metaphor is coming to the end of its life he says its old,
does he say how he knows its almost retiring (he says it is retiring)?] But here comes
something: because its old, it has MORE and not less weight: a lot is attached to metaphor.
Metaphor is "a suspensive withdrawal and return supported by the line (TRAIT) delimiting a
contour" (9) [this again is good for Vallejo].

Now he asks why we privilege Heideggers text (he doesnt say which text) on this topic. It
seems to be because of H_s concentration on TRAIT, in the sense of line, the "tracing incision of
language" (10). Now D reveals two of H_s titles: DER SATZ VOM GRUND and
UNTERWEGS ZUR SPRACHE. He also reminds us, in his inimitable way, that he will quote
himself ("WHITE MYTHOLOGY: Metaphor in the Text of Philosophy") but this is not in order to
draw attention to himself but rather, so as not to have to repeat here what he said there (yeah, yeah,
Jacques-baby).

This is getting difficult. D is going to slip himself through one of H_s notes on metaphor - in
which "the metaphoric exists only within the boundaries of metaphysics" - as discussed by Ricoeur
in LA METAPHORE VIVE, whose eighth essay, in turn, discusses D_s "White Mythology" piece.
[Gossip: the current piece by Derrida was read at a symposium in Geneva where Ricoeur also
read.] Anyway, the point is that we will be relating metaphor and metaphysics here, in the above
sense, which the metaphoric exists only within the boundaries of metaphysics. [Guessing: as we
know, D wants to get beyond metaphysics, so I suppose this article will try to lead us beyond
metaphor: lets see, thats interesting, it sounds THEOLOGICAL to me and I know D would
probably hate me for thinking so.]

D says R didnt pay enough attention this point of H_s. So now he will critique R. First point.
R, according to D, assimilates D too easily to H. Second point. More on R_s misreading of
"White Mythology;" over-assimilation to H. [Not having read "WM" or the Heidegger piece on
it, its hard for me to comment here.] [Gossip: D comes from a repressive family background, I
can tell, hes like me, keeps saying "but thats not what I said, how can you attribute it to me" - he
is very fixated on being precisely understood, I agree intellectually with that feeling, but what I am
gossiping about here is
his tone.] Here, hes also mad at R because, D says, R criticizes D from the place to which D had
himself carried the critique.

A key point appears to be that according to R, "WM" makes death or dead metaphor is watchword
- this idea offends D (note though that R_s text is called LIVE METAPHOR). What D purports to
really be talking about is the TWO DEATHS or SELF-DESTRUCTIONS OF METAPHOR [he
doesnt explain this here; we have to read "WM" which Im beginning to suspect is more
interesting than the piece at hand].

Now we talk about economy. A. usury B. the law of the house C. EREIGNIS [?] D.
passage, fraying, transfer, translation, withdrawal (because, I intuit, metaphor TODAY is
withdrawing, according to D). Now we look at mother-tongue and father-language again,
complicated little arguments, my first guess here is that mother-tongue is not metaphoric, but
father-language is metaphorical and metaphysical, has to do with formal language, the law, and so
forth.

Retreat, tracing, translation_let_s talk about "traits," then. We need metaphor when we can_t get to
Being_if we could get there, there would be no metaphor. And, what Heidegger calls
metaphysics ITSELF corresponds to a withdrawal of Being. So we only get out of
metaphysical/metaphorical discourse by a withdrawal of the withdrawal of Being.

[SIDE NOTE: COMPARE TO THE NIETZCHEAN TALK ON MINERALS IN THE YES:
COMPARED> TO THAT, THIS SEEMS VERY WESTERN AND ENCLOSED, AND
COMPARED TO EASTERN RELIGION, WELL, NEED I SAY MORE?] Anyway, what we_re
going to get with metaphor is a series of retreats, withdrawals_this is how metaphor gets so
complex_as it withdraws, it "gives place" to "an abyssal generalisation of themetaphoric."

Being, like metaphor, "withdraws into its crypt" [VAMPIRES AGAIN! DOES THIS
MAKE BEING A VAMPIRE? PROBABLY, DAS STIMMT, IT FITS.] BUT, and this is
going to be important, we get a CATASTROPHE when metaphoricity no longer allows itself to be
contained in its _metaphysical_ concept when (I THINK) metaphor stops being a metaphor of
something that is absent (but whose absence is palpable, as in the absence of Abrahams God).


Existence is, of course, the contextualizing of Being. The withdrawal of Being would mean the
loss of coherence of the ground of existence. Metaphor is the continual recontextualization of
Being which maintains this coherence of ground. Metaphor, in its root and most basic
manifestation, effectively simulates the continued presence of Being. But this is for some not
satisfactory. One tragically desires the Being of the Other. The phenomena resulting from the
very action of Being, Beings metaphorical manifestation as existent entities falls short of this
tragic desire for Being. But secretly the Being of the Self and the Being of the Other are one and
the same. For one is the Other for the Other. But one can see from ones own case, that one is
more than merely the Other for the Other! Metaphysics is the attempt to discursively describe
what can only be glimpsed, which is the coherence of existence in the light of Beings presencing
as Other. Metaphysics tries to reconstitute Being from out of the coherence of Beings existence
even in Beings absence. The immediacy of Being obviates the necessity of metaphysics as
"ontological neurosis" caused by its withdrawal. On the other hand, the thrownness of Being is its
thrownness as Self and Other simultaneously.

The Self is a sociolinguistic construct. The self only emerges within the social environment of a
linguistic community. Part of the process of learning any given task is that of the making of
subvocalized, mental notes to oneself as one is attempting to perform and master the task. So this
is here not entirely a case of learning by doing. But when it comes to learning the task of
becoming minimally competent in ones first language - this is entirely an example of learning by
doing. The understanding of what one is doing appears later after the necessary preparation of
ground.

We have here the real thing in hand and we can dispense with saying what something is like.
Our difficulties in having an authentic relationship with Being which would have powerfully
validated the self stimulates in us an impulse to hatefully gossip - to talk bad about Being.
Metaphysics is an attempt to deconstruct Being which is motivated by a dark, underlying
necrophilic urge to tear down, demystify, and demythologize the Other which seems to have
rejected us, not unlike a haughty and unapproachable, would-be lover. But it is not Being which
has done the rejecting here. Rather this necrophilic and destructive impulse, which manifests
itself in the form of a metaphysics of Being, is precipitated not through Beings callous rejection of
us, but on account of rage against impotence to intimately relate to Being.

But there is another sort of metaphor in Heidegger, a non-metaphysical one. [AND AT THIS
POINT, I AGAIN CONFESS I DON_T KNOW: I THINK DERRIDA READS HEIDEGGER
MORE WESTERN- LY THAN I, AND THIS MAY BE CORRECT_BUT SOMEONE TELL ME
SOMETHING ON HEIDEGGER, I READ HIS BEING IN SORT OF A ZEN SENSE, THOUGH
I WOULD SAY HE IS MORE INTERESTED IN AN ANTHROPMORPHIC WHOLE THAN

ENOUGH TO HAVE AN OPINION, BUT THAT ON THE OTHER HAND IF I KNEW
ENOUGH TO OPINE I WOULD BE INSIDE THE DISCOURSE AND HAVE TO AGREE
WITH IT. ]

End of metalanguage, metaphysics, meta-rhetoric, but pure metaphoricity_ By now we_re talking
about famous Heidegger lectures like "The Nature of Language." Metaphors, words, are
INCISCIONS, tracings_as in wood-cuttings, gravures, engravings_and these incisions make
possible graftings, so to speak, splicings_ and BEING ITSELF IS A DIVERGENCE, A
SPLITTING, SOMETHING CONSTANTLY IN WITHDRAWAL, A BORDER [***AGAIN
THINK VALLEJO, THIS IS VERY SUGGESTIVE FOR "LINDES"]_ITS INSCRIPTION
SUCCEEDS ONLY IN BEING EFFACED (that_s the English translation, a more interesting
affirmation than the French original n_arrive qu_a s_effacer)_being happens and comes about
only in effacing itself_(there is more on this) The essence of speech is INCISION [this is
interesting, we speak of "incisive arguments" but here speech IS incision]_INCISION BRINGS
TOGETHER AND SEPARATES THE VEILING AND THE UNVEILING [now there_s a
metaphorical phrase_;)) so today, metaphor is withdrawing, splicing, un/joining. What is
happening? Rien, pas de reponse, sinon que de la metaphore le retrait se passe de lui-meme.

I have often marvelled at how the movement of Being through time is at the selfsame, identical
instant, both a passing away and a coming into being. In other words, the coming into being and
the passing away of the Self within the flux of consciousness (during each passing instant) are
grounded in the very same phenomena, and this paradox of passage is essential to the continuity of
experienced time.

dynamical system temporally evolves may be given a consistent definition in terms of the
ratio of the density of energy exchanges of the system with its outside environment to the density
of 3-momentum exchanges of the system with itself. By this definition, the most rapidly
temporally evolving dynamical system would be that of the pristine quantum mechanical vacuum
state - the quantum vacuum in the absence of real particles or fields. We must note that the notion
of the absolute passage of time, i.e., the passage of time for reality as a whole, is a meaningless
concept, or at least, a concept which cannot be given a self-consistent formulation or
interpretation. This fact is intimately related to the fact that a thermodynamic system to which the
notion of entropy applies (the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics) is by definition an open system in the
sense of a system undergoing continual energy exchange with a thermal reservoir or "heat bath."
@$
A completely closed system, as noted earlier, would possess initial and boundary conditions
resulting in the quantizing of energy and momentum throughout the system giving it a closed state
space and a Poincare recurrence time which would be indistinguishable from a finite 4th spatial
dimension. In such a system, with time being spatialized, the notion of the direction of time is
completely arbitrary - there is not outside to which the system is tied which can serve as a memory
of the history of the system to prevent the system from being completely reversible. The system
would be ergodic and possess a conserved phase space volume. In perturbation theory within
quantum mechanics, we find that an incompletely described dynamical system is approximated by
a Hamiltonian possessing a perturbation energy which may be thought of as a system exactly
described in terms of a Hamiltonian, H
0
, which is interacting with a larger energy system through
the perturbation Hamiltonian, H
fluc
which is simply added to H
0
such that the new wavefunction
calculated from this sum through the Schrodinger equation is just the new wavefunction expanded
in terms of the old one defined in terms of H
0
. In this way the actual system is seen to be the old
system undergoing virtual transition between its energy eigenfunctions. The old system's energy
uncertainty is represented in terms of the perturbation energy associated with the fluctuation
Hamiltonian, H
fluc
. In this way, it is seen that, in general, the temporal evolution of any quantum
system is representable in terms of the interaction of an approximate system represented by a
zeroeth order Hamiltonian, H
0
, with its outside environment from which is has originally been
abstracted. When one has taken into account all possible perturbations due to real particles and
fields interacting with the given system in question, one is left with the ineradicable residue of the
quantum vacuum itself. So the concrete (and real) temporality of any quantum system, when
the mere appearance of change in the system due to inadequacies in our nth order perturbation
expansion description of the system have been taken into account, is wholly attributable to the
action of the quantum mechanical vacuum. So we now come to an important distinction:
changes in the system which are not directly measurable and hence understood as virtual
transitions between energy levels of an approximate Hamiltonian description of the system versus
transitions between energy levels of the system due to an actual incompleteness or openness of the
system description due to ontological, i.e., actual, indeterminacy or indefiniteness of the system
itself, as opposed to mere epistemological indefiniteness of the system which is a mere artifact of
an incomplete quantum-perturbative analysis of the system. This is the distinction of ontological
versus epistemological energy uncertainty of a quantum mechanical system. This above
discussion pertains to the distinction, made in an earlier letter, of /\E, which I have said may be
wholly attributable to the observer, and the square root
contd



Since momentum and position are incompatible observables, then so are a function of momentum
and a function of position. Now the total energy of any quantum mechanical system, the
Hamiltonian, H(p,r), is the sum of its kinetic and potential energies, H(p,r) = f(p) + f(r), where p
and r are momentum and position, respectively. So by what has been said, H(p,r) cannot have a
precise value - for this would imply simultaneously precise values for the kinetic and potential
energies, which, in turn, would imply simultaneous values of p and r. So the value, H(p,r) must
undergo fluctuations of a fundamental sort. Now even the vacuum is a quantum system, i.e., a qm
ground state.
@$
So the vacuum's Hamiltonian, that is, its total energy, must also fluctuate. These
fluctuations interact with every particle and field, introducing uncertainty in the location of
particles in phase space, i.e., x-p space. All measurement does is alter the shape of the area of
phase space "occupied" by the particle. Measurement does not change the area of phase space
where this particle is likely to be found ("occupied" by this particle"), however. The particle does
not possess an exact "position" within the x-p (phase) space. We can never say beforehand how
the vacuum fluctuations interacting with the particle (and out of which the particle is constituted
and sustained) will nonlocally resonate with the vacuum fluctuations interacting at the time of
measurement with the observer's brain (the observer's brain is also a quantum system, BTW).
Remember that qbar = sqrt[^q**2 - /\q**2 ] where ^q is the fluctuations of q due to the quantum
vacuum and /\q is the uncertainty in q which may be wholly attributed to the observer's brain due to
the influence of vacuum energy fluctuations upon it!. It is the cooperation of these two terms
which results in qbar, the expectation value (classical value) of q! This perhaps reminds some of
you of Huxley's theory of perception: the receipt of photons by the retina of the observer results
in a stimulation of the brain in such a way that its ether wave filters reconfigure so that the
signals representing the object seen are no longer screened out by the consciousness reducing
valve (the brain, that is) which are then "picked up". The brain is then conceived of as a kind of
ether wave tuning device and perception is just an altering of the set of frequencies of ether waves
(vacuum fluctuations, if you prefer modern parlance) which the vacuum can resonate with where
the brain acts only as a hardware interface between two unbounded sets of interfering ether wave
spectra.
pru=
The brain on this view is simply a changeable and complex set of boundary
conditions placed upon the vacuum electromagnetic field's self-interaction! What we see and
hear, or what we feel and smell and taste, is only a small fraction of what actually exists out there.
Our conscious model of reality is a lowdimensional projection of the inconceivably richer physical
reality surrounding and sustaining us. Our sensory organs are limited: They evolved for reasons of
survival, not for depicting the enormous wealth and richness of reality in all its unfathomable
depth. Therefore, the ongoing process of conscious experience is not so much an image of reality
as a tunnel through reality,

Is there some general relationship between the height of the potential barrier and the magnitude of
the energy uncertainty? Or is there really no general principle at work here relating these two
quantities? H# = E# --> <#*E#> = <E> --> <#*(E**2)#> = <E**2> / <#*E#>**2 =
<E>**2
/\E = sQrt{<E**2> - <E>**2} , where H = H(T(p),V(x))

What is the relationship between the reduction of the wavepacket upon an observation being
performed on some quantum mechanical system and the conversion of virtual particles into real
particles?

It may be possible to modify Poisson's equation, @
2P/@2r = 4pi(rho), to include a 2nd partial
derivative of P, the potential, with respect to the time such that we might assimilate the 2nd partial
derivative with respect to r to the state variable, (rho)
mass, and assimilate the 2nd partial derivative
of P with respect to t to the state variable, (rho)vacuum, so that (rho) in the above equation may be
interpreted as the space density which is a locally conserved quantity.


Let us examine Einstein's field equation for any potential mathematical affinity it might have with
respect to our equation relating the space energy density to the sum of the vacuum and mass energy
densities.

====> T
uv = -Ruv -1/2Rguv

Each of these three terms are what are called tensor densities. They have physical dimensions of
energy density. In Mach's formula for the speed of pressure wave oscillations in a continuous,
energy-conducting medium, the pressure is associated with the vacuum energy density since the
quantum vacuum always obeys the equation of state that its pressure and energy density are
identical. But this identification leaves only one possible further identification of the medium
energy density; that is, the energy density must be identified with the total energy density of space,
what is termed within our theory, the space density. In order for an entropy and temperature to be
assigned to the quantum vacuum, we must suppose that this vacuum remains in thermal
equilibrium with this heat reservoir, the energy density of which is the space density referred to
earlier.

Intuitively, if any further identifications are to be made between terms within our theory and terms
within Einstein's theory, then the following identifications might be made:

The scalar curvature, R, should be identified with the space density, the momentum-energy tensor,
T
uv, should be identified with the mass-energy density, and the term, -Ruv, should be identified
with the vacuum energy density. The term, guv, which in relativity theory is the dimensionless
dot product of the spacetime coordinate unit vectors, eu and ev, may be alternatively interpreted
to correspond to the ratio of sum of the momentum-energy and Riemannian tensor densities to the
scalar energy density. Within our theory, the guv correspond to mixed 2nd order partial
derivatives of the ratio of the sum of the vacuum scalar energy density to the total space energy
density.

Do the partial derivatives of the gravitational potential transform like the components of a four
vector?
@$
It would appear that an arbitrary Lorenz transformation of the 1st order partial
derivatives of a standard static gravitational potential should transform so as to evince the
existence of a time-varying potential, and hence, that of a 4-hyperspherical potential.




There is an important distinction to be made between massive and massless particles. This
distinction consists in the fact that a massive particle which is seen to be at rest has a 4-momentum
which is purely imaginary, but which may be re-represented by a Lorenz transformation in terms
of a new set of real and imaginary components within some different inertial reference frame.
This is not generally true of massless particles, however. A massless particle, such as a photon,
possesses a relativistic 4-momentum which is purely real in any and all inertial reference frames.
There is no possible Lorenz transformation which can succeed in re-representing the 4-momentum
of the photon as a mixture of real and imaginary momentum components. However, in the case
of real massive particles, the relativistic mass increases exactly in step with the increase in
imaginary momentum. This suggests that perhaps photons do not possess a gravitational mass,
and that the true source of the gravitational field is a massive body's imaginary momentum. How
then, if this is true, do we account for the disappearance of the gravitational mass which results
from the total conversion of mass into photon energy? Does this energy disappear in the form
of longitudinal pressure waves in the quantum vacuum?




A photon which is climbing out of a gravitational potential must acquire an imaginary component
of 4-momentum relative to its previous location within a stronger potential. We say, then, that a
photon possesses an imaginary momentum relative to a point in spacetime of greater gravitational
potential.





The inertial frame-dragging effect deduced by Lenz and Thirring from Einstein's field
equations, may be understood intuitively in the following manner: angular momentum of a
massive gravitating body as observed from a great distance away (where the body's gravitational
potential has fallen off appreciably) appears greatly reduced when the observer is transported close
to this body. This change in the appearance of the 3-angular momentum of the massive body in
transporting the observer from a reference frame of small gravitational potential to one possessing
large potential may be understood in terms of a different partitioning of the total conserved
4-angular momentum of the body in the two different, locally Minkowskian frames. In other
words, 4-angular momentum which is mostly about an arbitrary z-axis, for example, when the
body is viewed from a region of spacetime of small potential, (relative to so-called "free space") is
rotated within 4-dimensional spacetime in moving the observer to the region of large potential in
such a way that most of the 4-angular momentum of the body now "appears" along the local time
axis within this spacetime. The angular momentum seen by the more distant observer is hidden
from the observer in close vicinity to the body because he is occupying a space which is, relative to
the distant observer, spinning in the same sense as the body itself. This interpretation is
consistent with the general relativistic effect of perhelion precession which occurs in the sense
opposite to the direction of the body's orbital motion.

In a conversation with Brian Swift it was suggested by me, in connection with a discussion of
the old density wave theory of galactic spiral arm formation, that perhaps a spinning supermassive
blackhole lies at the center of any given spiral arm galaxy and that the Lenz-Thirring inertial
frame-dragging effect could be at least partially responsible (maybe also in conjunction with
density waves) for the formation of the classic spiral arm structure of, for example, the Milky Way
Galaxy.





Outline of a taped conversation between Dr. Brian Swift and Russell Clark


Energy and time transform in opposite manner within relativity from how they transform within
the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle. The local velocity of light is affected by a Lorenz
transformation analogously to the way time and length transform within this transformation. There
may be a difference between energy and mass parallel to the distinction between fermions and
bosons within quantum mechanics. It may be that gravity is only generated by fermions and not by
bosons.
This would violate the principle of broken supersymmetry

According to Einstein, the
gravitational force is not a bona fide force, but is an effect due to curved spacetime. There may
be a generalization lurking within the notion of spin so that real gravity like artificial gravity is
an effect generated by the action of spin though at the subatomic level of scale.

Energy and mass may not be equivalent in all reference frames. Mass and energy may transform in
opposite manner within a Lorenz transformation.
Real fermions disturb the normally balanced renormalization which exists between the vacuum
fermion and boson fluctuation fields. There is no fundamental distinction between real bosons and
virtual bosons. End of this installment of the conversation between Dr. Brian Swift and Russell
Clark (1996)


It is possible to understand from quantum theory, the causal relationship between the momentum -
energy tensor and the space - time tensor of general relativity by noting a pair of bridging relations
between these tensors via the Heisenberg space-momentum and time-energy uncertainty relations?
These uncertainty relations prevent the defining of precise, deterministic trajectories for particles
moving within 4-dimensional Minkowski spacetime. In particular, no precise trajectory can be
defined for particles whose sole component of motion is along the Minkowski ict axis. Such
particles are observed to be "at rest" with respect to the local system of coordinates. What does it
mean, we may ask, for a particle at rest to have an ill-defined trajectory, as implied by the
Heisenberg principle? One obvious interpretation is for the particle to lack the continuous,
independent existence of a classically described, inert and atom-like substance, which subsists
indifferent to the passage of time. The particle must possess an uncertain momentum and hence
trajectory on account of continual exchange of virtual photons (in the case of a charged particle)
with the vacuum electromagnetic field.
The analogue of the particle - wave complementarity in quantum theory is the dualism between
mass and energy within the theory of relativity. The general absence of either a precisely defined
particle position or momentum implies an oscillation of the particle between its particle and wave
mode manifestations which may be understood in terms of the continual back-and-forth
transformation of matter from its mass to its energy manifestation. This spontaneous activity on
the part of matter may be visualized in terms of its continual reformation and disintegration into
mass and energy.
July 2011
Just consider here the fact that all quantum mechanical operators may be
alternately expressed in terms of the creation and annihilation operators corresponding to field
observables.

Only massless particles are reintegrated exclusively from the vacuum energy. Though massive
particles are largely reintegrated out of the energy of the quantum vacuum, a tiny percentage of this
energy must be supplied internally, that is, from energy resources of the mass itself, which is to
imply that, massive particles possess internal binding energies whereas the photon does not.
However, just as in the case of superconductivity in which the photon takes on mass, the photon
takes on an effective mass within a vacuum laden with a gravitational potential. The measure of
this fraction is the ratio of the mass-energy and vacuum energy densities within the volume
occupied by the mass.
@$
This tendency for matter to replenish itself from a fraction of its own
existing mass-energy in competition with its reintegration out of the locally available vacuum
energy may account for the linkage of inertia and gravitation. This reintegration process may be
modeled as a constant process of 3-momentum (boson) exchanges amongst matter particles
(fermions) in competition with energy exchanges between these particles and the thermal reservoir
of the vacuum nuclear electro-weak field fluctuations necessitated by the Heisenberg uncertainty
principle. The exchange of energy within quantum mechanical systems may be generally
characterized by three principle modes of energy exchange: first, the exchange of energy
between mass-energy and itself which is mediated by the totality of fundamental force-carrying
particles, collectively known as bosons. This particular mode of energy exchange is owing to the
position-momentum manifestation of the generalized Heisenberg principle,
April 2011
c.f.,
creation-annihilation/exchange of quantum correlated, spin-1 virtual vector bosons. Second, the
exchange of energy between mass-energy and the vacuum energy field which is the mode of
energy exchange responsible for the phenomena of spontaneous emission, nuclear decay, quantum
mechanical tunneling, etc., owes its origin to the time-energy form of the Heisenberg principle.
Finally, there is the energy exchange mode taking place between the vacuum energy field and
itself,
April 2011
c.f., creation-annihilation of quantum correlated, spin-0 virtual fermion-antifermion
pairs (virtual Cooper pairs/scalar bosons). This energy exchange mode we suspect powers the
process of global cosmological expansion. Dark matter and dark energy may perhaps be better
understood in connection with the model suggested here. In general, an operator which does not
commute with the Hamiltonian operator, i.e., [q,H] \= 0, must experience fluctuations. The
Hamiltonian itself is subject to fundamental quantum fluctuations so we may say that [H,H] =\ 0.
This means that changing the order in which we measure H makes a difference in the results of our
measurement. This doesn't seem to make sense unless we are speaking of making these same
measurements, but in opposite time order.
@$
If this is the correct interpretation of [H,H] =/ 0, then
quantum fluctuations in the Hamiltonian of spacetime may be responsible for time's fundamental
asymmetry. But how can H fail to commute with itself? This mode also constrains, we believe,
the thermodynamic equilibrium of mass-energy systems embedded within the expanding
mass-energy/vacuum-energy system, and so seems the most general manifestation of the
Heisenberg principle.

The overarching system of energy exchanges will altogether comprise a total conservative
energy system to which will correspond the conservative force-field known as gravitation. On
this view, gravitation is not thought to be mediated by a unique force-carrying particle, or boson,
i.e., graviton, but is a fundamentally "parasitic" force, one which depends for its action on the
collective interaction between matter, its fundamental exchange forces, and the total vacuum
nuclear-electroweak field. Specifically, it is the shift in the balance between the three types of
energy exchange continually occurring within the quantum vacuum: particle-particle,
particle-wave, and wave-wave, energy exchanges. Because matter is continually being
reintegrated from the vacuum energy field which originally created it, the transport of matter
particles from one region of vacuum locally, to another region, cannot, on our view, be understood
as being fundamentally different from the destruction of these particles within one local region of
the vacuum field (and subsequent conversion to vacuum energy within this region) with the
subsequent re-creation of these particles from the vacuum energy locally available within the
destination-region where they are ultimately "brought to rest."

This is a crude
paraphrase of David Bohms principle, set forth in his dialectical materialist quantum mechanics
textbook, Quantum Theory (1951, heretofore and subsequently referred to as Bohms principle of
causality/Bohms causal principle the principle namely, that all causal relationships may be
alternately represented as a sum of correlated fluctuations. The question arises at this point as to
whether there are two distinct types of causality implied by Bohms causal principle: classically
correlated versus quantum correlated fluctuations, or even perhaps four distinct types of causality
are implied here: classically correlated classical fluctuations, quantum correlated classical
fluctuations, classically correlated quantum fluctuations and quantum correlated quantum
fluctuations?

The brains real action may indeed be in the construction of quantum entanglements between
the subtlest components of its structure, i.e., microtubule dimer electrons as well as electronic
states of DNA. The actual processing of these entanglements, which give them context, meaning
and reference (pointing outside the otherwise closed system of the biological brain) and indeed,
as well giving them temporality is the preexistent quantum entanglement network constituted by
the quantum vacuum electromagnetic field aka the QED vacuum. The substance of awareness
lies here and the object of awareness is constituted from a particular and unique spectrum of
frequencies of the entangled vacuum electromagnetic field with which this or that particular
persons brain resonantly tunes. The question arises as to whether the unique spectrum of
networked quantum entangled vacua which constitutes the particular persons dynamic contextual
ground with which his brain resonantly tunes was originally knitted together after his fetal brain
had reached a crucial stage of neuroanatomical development in which brain development and that
of the networked vacuum frequency spectrum move hand in hand or whether the fetal brain must
first reach a certain critical stage of developmental complexity before this matter-vacuum
feedback mechanism can begin to operate. What perhaps allows this feedback to phase-lock
and to begin homing and tracking is the fact that the quantum vacuum itself also informed the
evolution and and function of the DNA which coded for the structure and function of that
individual persons brain in the first instance.
@$
It seems as though providence is inescapable
when it comes to the bringing into being of a self-conscious entity.

Therefore, we believe that the total energy density of any given region of locally Euclidean 3 -
space may not be altered through changes in the local distribution of energy constituted by real
matter particles and fields. We understand energy density more broadly here as the total
four-momentum density of local regions of Minkowski spacetime, and understand the
conservation of energy density as the constancy of total 4-momentum density despite
phenomenological (apparent) variations in energy density (classically understood) within local
Euclidean 3-spaces. To wit, though the magnitudes of the various components of the total
4-momentum density may change within an arbitrary 3-volume of Euclidean space, the magnitude
of the total 4-momentum density of spacetime does not change locally; that is to say, it does not
change observably over relatively small distances and times within a Minkowski metric.

The vacuum energy within the context of cosmological expansion either acts like an expanding
medium of finite energy or it behaves like a cosmological constant, c.f., the arXiv pre-print article,
cit=
Dilution of Zero Point Energies in the Cosmological Expansion.
The so-called mass-energy reformation process is limited by the density of available vacuum
field energy out of which real particle/field energy systems must constantly reform themselves,
and there is an antagonistic relationship between real particle/field energy and virtual particle/field
energy (via the Pauli exclusion and Bose condensation/Pauli Inclusion principles) such that the
relative alterations in the densities of each be constrained by the principle of their conservation in
total combination through the principle of conservation of total 4-momentum density.
In general outline, the mechanism of gravitation works through the parallel connections
mentioned earlier between the momentum-energy tensor and the space-time tensor in the
following manner: a decrease in the positional uncertainty of a collection of particles induces an
increase in the momentum uncertainty of these particles, one which is associated, through the
definition of momentum uncertainty within quantum mechanics, with an increase in the collective
energy of the particles which cannot originate with the forces initially bringing the particles
together. Consequently, to conserve energy, this energy must be supplied from somewhere; we
maintain that this energy is supplied by the quantum vacuum. This consequent decrease in the
energy of the vacuum energy field leads, in turn, to an increase in the energy of other distributions
of particles already occupying the general region of this modified vacuum state. This increase in
energy of the other particles occurs through an increase in the expectation value of the square of
the particles momentum, but without altering the quantum expectation value of the magnitude of
the particles total 4-momentum (consistent with special relativity). The only consistent way of
effecting such a change in the quantum state of these particles is for the momentum uncertainty of
the particles to increase. In turn, the positional uncertainty of these neighboring particles must
decrease, and in such a manner that the total system of particles experiences a decrease in its

The loss of magnetization of the vacuum spin-

fields is
compensated by the increased polarization of the vacuum spin-1 fields. Quantum entanglement
is conserved though it is transferred from the spin-
1
/
2
fields to the spin-1 fields in this process.
Similarly, the momentum-energy uncertainty is rotated in spacetime.

The specific manner in which the particles do this is by being attracted toward the center of mass of
the total particle distribution - an effect which manifests itself generally in the phenomenon of
gravitational attraction. Because a particle's energy uncertainty is not an intrinsic property of the
particle itself, but must be communicated to the particle through the interaction of the particle and
the vacuum energy field sustaining its existence, the communication of energy uncertainty
between particles distributed throughout space is after the fashion of an inverse-square law. Of
course, a collection of particles may not really be thought to have a defined positional uncertainty
unless these particles form with one another a bound system of particles. This is why we suspect
that the gravitational force is only capable of coupling to binding energy so that the energy of the
unconstrained vacuum may not itself be thought to gravitate; it is only spatiotemporal variations in
the energy of the vacuum field which may be thought to produce gravitational effects. In fact, it
is the tendency of massive bodies to hold themselves together against the opposite tendency of the
cosmological acceleration field to disperse the particles forming these bodies, which sets up the
spherically symmetric imbalance in the distribution and flow of the vacuum energy field ( in
the case of spherically symmetric matter distributions ) which manifests itself as the gravitational
field engendered by these and all other massive bodies within the expanding universe.
Three-momentum is conserved in particle collisions because the acceleration of a particle always
involves the rotation of its 4-momentum, describable by a Lorenz transformation, and equal and
opposite 4-momentum rotations on the part of the colliding particles always results; this is just a
relativistic expression of Newton's action-reaction principle. In the case of two colliding
particles with 0 initial and final total net momentum, an arbitrary quantity of energy may be
supplied to the two particles without disturbing the net momentum of the particles. This may be
regarded as a special instance of a property of momentum which is normally not obvious to an
observer confined in his observations to the three dimensions of Euclidean space, but which is
always operative within the context of the higher dimensionality of Minkowski spacetime.
Accelerations merely have the effect of rotating the 4-momentum of particles within Minkowski
space, as mentioned earlier, and so the magnitude of a particle's 4-momentum can never be altered.
In general, forces are manifestations of momentum exchanges between the local imaginary and
real momenta of particles and fields. When these momenta exchanges are rendered
asymmetrical, the 3-momenta of particles and fields are not generally conserved. Within a
hypersurface of simultaneity in flat Minkowski space, the vacuum 3-momenta are conserved
despite the participation of the vacuum energy field in the local cosmological velocity field. This
is due to the inherent symmetry of the momenta exchanges between the real and imaginary
vacuum momentum components. The presence of matter induces an asymmetry in the
momentum exchanges between the vacuum's real and imaginary components of momentum
reflected in the asymmetry of the vacuum's self-energy exchanges. When energy is
spontaneously imparted to a massy particle and then returned spontaneously to the vacuum energy
field, within this brief interval of time, the energy state of the local vacuum has altered slightly in
the direction of decreasing vacuum energy density so that each time the energy originally imparted
to the mass is paid back to the vacuum, the vacuum receives in return a slightly smaller quantity of
energy.

If we recast the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle (HUP) in terms of information and its
conjugate or complementary quantity, then the Boltzmann Brain Paradox can be considerably
sharpened. If the enormous information content of the cosmos is assumed to have arisen from a
vacuum fluctuation on account of the HUP, then if energy content and information content are
proportional (
prn=
in some sense) then for an enormous information fluctuation (we need at some
point to define the notion of negative information because conservation requires fluctuations to
occur in +/- pairs) we have a vanishingly small lifetime for this information (but doesnt it continue
to exist in some latent form in between manifestations?) so either the great age of the universe is an
illusion or . . . the true age of the universe (age of the true universe) is immensely greater than the
age of our universe. On the other hand, for the subjective appearance of a universe to persist for
say, a human lifetime, the amount of information borrowed would have to be relatively small
(compared to that contained in an entire cosmos).
June 2012
Can the Boltzmann brain paradox be
dealt with by invoking the fact that human consciousness only possesses a temporal integration
span, i.e., specious present or span of integrated time of something between one and two seconds,
such that the complementary quantity of energy or rather its subjective time analogue, a form of
integrated energy or intergy is vast. If this complementary quantity of integrated energy or
intergy provides the informational grounding or context for its embedded bubble of subjective
time, then there would be some natural limit for the temporal size of the bubble based upon
available forces of temporal cohesion provided by the underlying intergy reservoir. If the time
bubble of the specious present grows too large, the reservoir of available intergy becomes too
diminished. The action of the brain as filter, reducing valve and interface provides the conduit for
this reservoir of integrated (quantum-entangled) energy. So we are concerned here not merely
with the quantity of energy, but with the quality of this energy in terms of the energys degree of
development of quantum entanglement.

The shared, causally and narratively structured intersubjective world of any given quantum
observer is not contradicted without reason, i.e., without causal or narrative and hence, reasonable
explanation by the accounts of other persons occupying the observers holographic projection
because, however the MWI wavefunction collapses, it does so in such as manner as to respect
causality and narrative coherence up to and including the sensory and mnemonic states of other
iconic observers. All are part of the same in-reality- discontinuous though
always-perceived/remembered as continuous, i.e., classical shared physical reality. Invoking a
generalization of the anthropic principle in this connection seems to suggest that it is my universe
that undergoes superposition and collapse and everybody else is just carried along for the ride!
One of the implications of Everetts relative state formulation of quantum mechanis seems to
imply that I share my world with a motley collection of also-rans, in other words. But is not my
subjective state of consciousness as perceiver of each new alternate quantum universe just as much
along for the ride as is anyone elses. I mean isnt my sense of continuity with my remembered
past just as arbitrary as is that of those who are carried forward with me into each altogether new
branching of the universal wavefunction? I know that I am continuous while they are not. But
cannot each of them say the very same thing about themselves? The sensory and mnemonic
states of my brain are just as discontinuously and randomly changing as are theirs, and I am no
more the same person in this new quantum universe than they are, isnt that correct? This is a
case of completely egalitarian multisolipsism in other words. We all secretly rely on God or
universal, transcendent mind as bulwark against the collapse of ontology into what is merely a
largest conceivable epistemology.

The result of this is that the mass of the particle continually increases very slowly with passing
time as the universe continues to expand during the course of the constant exchange of energy
between the particle and the vacuum in which it is embedded.
@$
It is this constant exchange of
energy between the particle and its vacuum energy field which is responsible for the magnitude of
the particles momentum/energy uncertainty. We term this the "perturbation interpretation" of the
Heisenberg uncertainty principle. Because the cosmological expansion rate is locally constant,
the imaginary momentum of particles is always increasing very slowly with the cosmological
expansion. It can be independently demonstrated that the real momentum of particles is always
increasing at the very same rate as is their imaginary momentum. If the mass of a body is
relativistically increased, then if the magnitude of its 4-momentum is to be conserved, then the
4-momentum of this massive body must experience a rotation in Minkowski space which just
compensates the effect of this increase in mass on the imaginary momentum of the body. In brief,
we say that an acceleration field induces an increase in the relativistic mass of a body, and
conversely, a field which induces an increase in the relativistic mass of a body, must itself
constitute an acceleration field.

The presence of a real fermion inhibits the appearance of certain virtual fermion-antifermion pairs
out of the vacuum because, by the Pauli Exclusion Principle, a virtual fermion in the same
quantum state as the real fermion which is already present is forbidden to appear where the
positional uncertainties of the real and virtual fermions were to overlap. Thus, the creation of the
entire pair within this region of overlapping positional uncertainty is suppressed. There should,
of course, be some sort of smooth decay of this suppressive effect of real fermions on the creation
of virtual fermion-antifermion pairs in the vacuum away from the center of the "volume of
positional uncertainty" within which the real fermion is to be found. In a similar manner, an energy
of 2m
sc
2 must be created out of the vacuum in order for a black hole of mass energy, m
sc
2, to
"evaporate" via the emission of Hawking radiation. In the case of bosons, the opposite principle
is operating. This principle might be termed the Pauli "inclusion principle." The more bosons
we have in a particular quantum state, the greater is the probability that more bosons will enter this
same quantum state. We might, therefore, expect the presence of real matter to enhance the
probability of spontaneous emission/absorption of virtual bosons from the vacuum in a quantum
state with operator values closely approximating those expectation values describing the bosons
mediating the mean nuclear electro-weak field responsible for the binding forces of this matter.
Of course, what we are really saying here is that the operator expectation values themselves for
vacuum operators are altered, or shifted in value, from their "free space" values. This alteration in
the vacuum field may be viewed as stemming from either: 1) a shift in the value of the quantum
operators, 2) an alteration of the vacuum wavefunction acted upon by the quantum operators, or 3)
a combination of both 1) and 2). In the particular case where only the vacuum wavefunction itself
is altered, we might interpret this in terms of an alteration of the vacuum Hamiltonian from which
the vacuum wavefunction is calculated. We already know that any alteration in the Hamiltonian
describing the energy of a harmonic oscillator will result in the oscillator undergoing a change in
its zero-point oscillations, that is to say, the oscillator will suffer a shift in its zero-point energy.
Any change to the zero-point energy of a harmonic oscillator may be modeled on a change in the
oscillator's Hamiltonian owing exclusively to the appearance of an additional potential term within
the Hamiltonian function of the oscillator.

Unruh and Wald [12] examined the behavior of a detector under uniform
acceleration, and in particular the emission of radiation by such a detector. We looked at two cases
in particular. In the one case we asked for the state of the eld under the condition that a two level
detector was found at the end of the process to have been excited. In this case they found that the
eld was in a single particle excited state. That single particle was concentrated in the region which
did not have causal contact with the detector. In the case where the detector was found after the
experiment to be unexcited, the eld was in a coherent superposition of an unexcited vacuum state,
and a two particle excited state. Here I will examine the question from a slightly dierent point of
view. The detector is taken to be a harmonic oscillator as above. I will ask what the state is of the
radiation eld (the massless scalar eld) without any measurement of the state of the detector. The
equation of motion for an internal oscillator coupled to a scalar eld is the nal outgoing eld is a
linear function of the ingoing eld. This implies that the annihilation and creation operators or the
outgoing eld are linear combinations of those for the ingoing eld. If the outgoing annihilation
operators were functions only of the ingoing annihilation operators, which is what happens when
the particle is unaccelerated, then the state of the outgoing eld will be indistinguishable from the
vacuum state. On the other hand, if the outgoing elds (s) annihilation operators are function of
both the ingoing elds (0s) annihilation and creation operators, then that outgoing eld will in
general by a squeezed state with respect to the outgoing vacuum state. A squeezed state has the
property that it is a coherent sum of even numbers of particle states. I. e., the detector scatters the
vacuum uctuations in the eld 0 so as to produce correlated pairs of particles in the outgoing
state. Since this state is again a Gaussian state, it is completely characterized by the pairwise
correlation function, The two point function with the detector can be calculated as a function of the
two point function of the free eld. However, measuring these correlations would be dicult,
since in general the two correlated particles are separated by a time of order the decay time of the
system. For any known accelerating system (e. g., electrons in a synchrotron) that time scale is of
the order minutes or hours.

If we want to integrate the quantum mechanical and relativistic effects of matter on the vacuum
nuclear electro-weak field, then we must reconcile the influence, which changing mass-energy
distributions have upon the uncertainty relations within the vacuum, with our requirement that the
variations in vacuum momentum-energy and position-time uncertainties be connected to one
another along contiguous points in spacetime by series of instantaneous Lorenz transformations.
If the energy structure of the vacuum is modeled as a crystalline lattice of coupled harmonic
oscillators, then the reconcilement of the two so-called Heisenberg and Einstein effects of matter
upon the vacuum energy field might be possible. We might succeed in doing this by introducing
just the sort of ad hoc potential term alluded to earlier. By this we mean the potential function
which incorporated into the Hamiltonian of the vacuum's oscillator meshwork effects the desired
spatio-temporal alteration in the vacuum's zero-point energy. Such a spatio-temporal variation in
the vacuum's zero-point energy should recoup all of the anticipated general relativistic effects, e.g.,
gravitational redshift, light deflection, time dilation, length contraction, mass increase, etc. It
should achieve this while at the same time explaining a concomitant change in the Bose-Einstein
and Fermi-Dirac statistics of the vacuum consistent with the application of wavefunction
symmetry/antisymmetry to the interaction of matter and vacuum. We might begin doing this by
explaining away, if you will, the seemingly inconsistent demands of the time/energy expression of
the Heisenberg principle and the relativistic expressions for time and energy within relativity
theory. This must be done with respect to the predicted interactions of time and energy
uncertainty within both theories. First, let us note that both principles, Einstein's and
Heisenberg's, agree with one another concerning the relationships of changes in length and
positional uncertainty, on the one hand, and momentum and momentum uncertainty, on the other
hand. Where these two theories conflict, is in comparing the effect of a change in energy
uncertainty on the value of the time uncertainty: relativity predicts that a relativistic increase in
energy uncertainty will be accompanied by a relativistic increase in time uncertainty, while
Heisenberg uncertainty principle predicts that an increase in the energy uncertainty of a quantum
mechanical system (here, a relativistic increase) will be associated with a decrease in the time
uncertainty of the system. The solution to this dilemma may lie with the simple fact that position
and time are not on an equal footing with one another as they are within the special relativity
theory - there is no operator corresponding to the time variable within quantum mechanics as in the
case of position, momentum and energy. Or the solution may lie with the possible inconsistencies
of the notion of energy uncertainty within both theories. This may be due to a deeper
inconsistency in the definition energy within both theories. Energy in quantum mechanics is
defined as the Hamiltonian function whereas the energy referred to in relativity theory is the
mass-energy, or, perhaps, the kinetic energy. The Hamiltonian is, of course, the sum of both the
kinetic and potential energies of the quantum system.
Of course, if the vacuum modeled as a Debye solid, that is, as a network of coupled harmonic
oscillators, then the Hamiltonian describing this system of oscillators must be consistent with
relativity. The potential energy of the Hamiltonian must be a function of not only x,y and z, but
must also be a function of the variable, ict, within the Minkowski metric. The kinetic energy
component of this vacuum Hamiltonian must be a function of all four components of the
relativistic 4-momentum vector of special relativity.

Perhaps we may think of virtual particle reactions as lying "off the mass shell" between two
extreme points off-shell. These are: virtual momentum fluctuations with negligible virtual
fluctuations in energy, and virtual energy fluctuations with negligible virtual fluctuations in
momentum. We may liken the spontaneous creation of virtual bosons from the vacuum as pure
momentum fluctuations, and of virtual fermion-antifermion pairs as pure energy fluctuations of
this vacuum. Is spin another name for angular momentum about the ict axis? Is it possible,
then, for a spin 0 particle to possess a component of angular momentum within the three normal
spatial dimensions? If so, then wouldn't this constitute a stark violation of the principle of the
relativistic invariance of angular momentum?

There is an apparent paradox associated with the gravitational redshift of starlight predicted by
Einstein's theory of general relativity. The general theory explains this reddening of the sun's
light, for instance, as being due to the fact that the energy of photons has an inertia associated with
it and that, therefore, the photons must give up the requisite energy in overcoming the Sun's
gravitational potential as they fly away from the Sun, off to infinity. The specific paradox is seen
when one considers the reverse of this process, the gravitational "bluing" of starlight as it falls into
a gravitational potential, and then imagines "bouncing" photons off of a huge mirror stationed
closed to the surface of the Sun, presumable in a very tight circular orbit! Photons leaving the
Earth for the Sun, for example, experience an increase in their energy ("bluing") which will
exactly offset the decrease in their energy on their return journey, after bouncing off the mirror, so
that the wavelength of these photons will not differ from that when initially leaving the Earth.
October 2011
So, for example, although the characteristic wavelength of photons emitted by
spectroscopically known elements or molecules on the Suns surface will exhibit a redshift of the
precise magnitude predicted by general relativity, these same characteristic photons, if emitted,
say from Earths orbit in the direction of the Sun, will suffer no observable reshift on their return
journey after being reflected from a mirror stationed at the Suns surface. But we must consider
here that what is called reflection involves the stimulation of an excited atomic state, i.e., the
boosting of an outer orbital electron into an energetically unstable orbit, which immediately
decays, yielding back a photon of precisely the same wavelength as originally caused the excited
state, and a blueshifted photon would possess an energy too large to produce a reflection photon
of the appropriate wavelength predicted by general relativity when the gravitational redshift is
taken into account. This appears to suggest that, for example, a television signal containing real
time footage of an Earth-based chronograph, if transmitted to and reflected off the surface of the
Sun, would reveal no mismatch between the time displayed by the transmitted image of the clock
and the actual time indicated on the original chronograph. And this would be presumed to be the
case even though real time footage of a second clock based on the Suns surface and transmitted to
us simultaneously along with the reflected transmission of the Earth-based chronograph reveals a
time-dilated rate of elapsed time of the Sun-based clock relative to our Earth-based clock.

When particles are compressed into a progressively smaller volume of space, the positional
uncertainty of all the particles decreases. Consequently, the momentum uncertainty of all of the
particles will increase. Although the quantum mechanical expectation value of momentum for
the particles will not be affected by a change in the momentum uncertainty of the particles, nor the
square of the expectation value of the momentum, the expectation value of the square of the
momentum will change, however - it will increase. This all follows from the mere definition of
momentum uncertainty in quantum mechanics. This is to say that the total energy of the particles
will be increased simply by virtue of the obvious decrease in quantum positional uncertainty of the
particles as a result of their having been confined to a smaller volume. Note that this energy
conferred to the particles cannot be explained in terms of any work which might have been
performed upon the particles in the process of pushing them together, as we might have taken,
theoretically, any amount of force at all in pushing them together, depending upon how much time
we were willing to take in doing so. This is yet another reason for believing that the collective
vacuum energy field is associated with the operation of a conservative force-field. If we have not
really imparted any energy to these particles simply by virtue of having moved them together
somewhat, then how are we to explain the appearance of this energy in such a manner that the total
energy of the volume occupied by the particles remains constant, that is to say, so that the total
energy of this volume is conserved? We might postulate a kind of hidden energy which, along
with the particles, also occupies their space. We might further suppose that these particles may be
thought to be made out of this energy so that an increase in the energy of particles within a
particular volume of space becomes tied to a corresponding and compensating decrease in the
amount of this hidden energy such that the total energy of the volume remains unchanged - a kind
of radical energy conservation principle. One way to make such an assumption, and there are
indeed many different ways in which this assumption might be realized, would be to postulate that
there is a fourth component of particle momentum, previously unsuspected, itself unchanged by
our having pushed the particles together, but possessing a square whose quantum expectation
value has been altered in a manner which exactly cancels the changes in the expectation values of
the squares of the usual three independent components of momentum along the x, y and z axes of a
Cartesian coordinate system. One way for the momentum of the particles along the hypothetical
"w-axis," as well as along the other three axes, to remain unchanged, with the energy of the
particles changing at the same time, would be if the masses of the particles were permitted to
change in inverse proportion to the change in the velocity of the particles along this new w-axis.
We can succeed in doing this by permitting the particles to possess a negative kinetic energy which
is decreased as the particles are pushed together. But turning to an analogy with the case of a
particle "tunneling" through a potential barrier, any change in the necessarily negative kinetic
energy of the tunneling particle could be compensated for through judicious instantaneous
adjustment of the height of the potential barrier though which it is moving, that is to say, through
the appearance of a kind of ad hoc potential term which is to be added to the original barrier
potential, V(x). If we identify this ad hoc potential so-called with the gravitational potential, then
two things immediately follow: 1) a gravitational potential exists in space whether or not matter
is present; it is built into the very structure of space itself. And, 2) matter has the peculiar
effect of altering this essentially cosmologically-based potential through quantum mechanical
interactions taking place between all matter particles and the continuum of space in which they are
embedded. The quantum vacuum offers itself as a logical candidate for this medium of space
(aether, if you will) with which all matter particles are in interaction. Moreover, the variation of
the density of this vacuum energy due to the process of the cosmological expansion of space
provides a logical basis for our postulated potential barrier.

The increase in energy of this hypothetical system of particles is based on the decrease in their
mutual positional uncertainty and the masses of the particles are irrelevant to the determination of
this energy increase. If gravitational effects are to be ultimately traced to variations in the energy
uncertainty of mass-energy distributions, leading in turn to a modification in the cosmological
spatiotemporal variation in the vacuum nuclear-electroweak field from its equilibrium momentum
density in so-called free-space, then there must be some means of defining the masses of particles,
as well as the mass equivalence of field energies, in terms of their binding or self-energies alone.
Lorenz attempted to do this in the early 1900'
s with respect to the mass of the electron; he tried to
define the mass of the electron exclusively in terms of its electromagnetic self-energy. He was,
however, unsuccessful, and to my knowledge, no further efforts have been made to repeat the
attempt.

Let us look at this question in term of a hopefully illustrative analogy. Suppose instead of simple
monochromatic light, we send a modulated carrier wave of electromagnetic radiation from the
Earth to the Sun and back again. Suppose the modulation upon the carrier wave was a simple TV
transmission of a normally functioning analogue wall clock.

Particle creation at the event horizon of a black hole gives rise to a precisely thermal spectrum.
This suggests that the vacuum itself is in thermal equilibrium with itself so that the vacuum must
be continually exchanging energy with itself. because the time rate of change of all physical
quantities depends on the existence of energy uncertainty, dq/dt = [H, q] + f[H,q], where f[H,q] is
usually written as @q/@t. On this view, quantum mechanical systems possess energy
uncertainty because they are continually perturbed by intrinsic vacuum energy fluctuations. In
this way, all mass-energy systems are in a process of constant energy exchange with the quantum
mechanical vacuum. Since all macroscopic transfers and exchanges of energy between two
points in spacetime are mediated via the submicroscopic energy exchanges occurring within the
vacuum, it follows that conservation of energy macroscopically is dependent upon conservation of
energy exchanges within the vacuum. The temporal evolution of the quantum vacuum is,
therefore, mediated by its own action. A number of conclusions follow from this fact. 1) the
vacuums energy is conserved, but not by virtue of this energy possessing a determinate quantity:
the vacuums energy is conserved even though it is an
indeterminate quantity. The rate of decrease of the vacuums energy density, cosmologically, is
exponential because the energy density of the vacuum itself governs the rate of decrease.

It is not possible to distinguish different time rates of change within a closed dynamical system.
This is because such a closed system possesses only a finite number of discrete energy levels, and
when the total system is in a particular energy eigenstate, its energy uncertainty is 0 so that there
are no vacuum fluctuations available with which to mediate changes in physical observables of the
system.

We may define the distance separating two events as a function of the number of vacuum
momentum fluctuations existing between the two said events. Similarly, we may define the time
interval between two such events as a function of the number of vacuum energy fluctuations
existing between the two said events. Of course, the partitioning of the relativistic momentum -
energy tensor into pure momentum versus pure energy components is dependent upon the
particular Lorenz reference frame within which one performs the momentum and energy
measurements.



Since the energy levels at which information is stored in a neural network are defined in terms of
the lowest stable energy of the neural network as a whole, virtual energy transitions between these
energy levels presuppose a coupling between the wavefunctions describing the quantum
mechanical states of all of the individual neurons of the network in the sense of their being
nonlocally connected.

It is the spontaneous coherence in which the neural network is embedded which provides the
ultimate context within which the neurological events are to be interpreted. This coherent field is
that of the nonlocally connected vacuum electromagnetic fluctuation field.

The many worlds interpretation of the quantum measurement problem may be understood as a
reversal in causal relationship between the uncollapsed wavefunction representing the mind of the
observer and the uncollapsed wavefunction representing the potentialities of the quantum
mechanical system being observed by this mind in the following manner: when the observer
notes the collapse of the wavefunction with respect to an observable he is attempting to measure,
what is actually occurring is the collapse of the wavefunction describing the observers mind so that
it now abstracts from the Weltall one particular eigenvalue of the object wavefunction, but without
inducing a collapse of the object wavefunction itself. One might ask what is the fundamental
difference between these two interpretations if there is not some third realm, independent of both
the observer's and object wavefunctions in terms of which one interpretation might be favored over
the other as being ontologically prior. This third realm belongs neither to that of causality (the
mutual interaction of collapsed wavefunctions), nor to that of contingency (the interaction of
collapsed with uncollapsed wavefunctions, and vice versa), but to that realm constituted solely by
the mutual interaction of all uncollapsed wavefunctions. This realm we may refer to as the
composite contingency - necessity manifold or continuum. There is an exactly parallel
assimilation between the category space - time with our category of necessity - contingency. In
this way we may realize that the concepts of locality and nonlocality constitute a distinction which
cuts across that constituted by the polar concepts chance and necessity.

Good is that which enhances creativity which is the explicit expression of implicitly integral
wholeness. Evil constitutes that which seeks to destroy, confuse, disintegrate as well as to impair
the expression of unity and wholeness through creativity. All creativity is in reality re-creativity.

The probability spectrum of a given wavefunction may be overdetermined so that there exists an
unlimited number of ways in which an ensemble of measurements of the eigenstates of the
wavefunction with respect to a particular observable may sum together so that the wavefunction
appears perfectly normalized; this property may permit an additional degree of freedom within
quantum mechanical virtual processes not previously suspected to exist.



There is an absolute simultaneity which mental events distinctly enjoy due to the fact that they do
not admit of perspective; if anything they constitute perspective. However, the order in which
neurophysiological occurrences occur ( in the brain) is at least partially dependent upon the
reference frame (in the relativistic sense) that these events occur (as observables). There must be
an embedding of these neural events in a substrate which extends beyond the merely
neurophysiological in order for a reference frame to be defined in which there can arise a
correspondence between subjective and objective simultaneities.

If metaphysical dualism is false in the strict sense of there existing two distinct and parallel
fundamental processes, one physical, the other mental, but if this doctrine is nevertheless true in
the less restrictive sense of there actually existing mental and physical realms which are not
distinct but somehow mutually interacting, then it is in principle impossible to formalize the
operation of mind.

It is quite true what many psychologists (as well as lay persons) have noted concerning the
tendency of a task to become executable without the aid of conscious attention the more and more
that it is performed. However, what has not perhaps been widely noted by either is the
somewhat contrary tendency for one to become more, rather than less, aware of the abstract
operations lying behind the performance of a task in new contexts where the specific concrete
operations constituting the task would never otherwise suggest themselves. This tendency for us
to become aware of the abstract operations specific to one particular oft-repeated task within a
context normally foreign to it, or at least for our performances of operations within new previously
unrelated contexts to be guided by these abstract operations, I refer to as operational modulation -
or op-mod, for short. What we are calling op-mod may be alternately thought of as the
manipulation of something in terms of an operational metaphor; it is itself the very essence of the
human tool-using intelligence, and may be considered to be a general property of any neural
network computing device. More specifically, op-mod is peculiar to the problem solving strategy
of the neural network device because the specific neural circuits which are utilized by such a
network for solving one particular "problem" will necessarily overlap with neural circuits which
are being established in the course of attempting to solve problems in extraneous contexts.

The existence of the ground of Reality consists exhaustively in its very activity. Consequently,
that which creates this ground is that which sustains this ground; from which further follows the
truth of Leibniz's principle that, "the conditions sufficient to create the world are necessary at every
succeeding moment to sustain its existence." We know that there has to have always been
something in existence and so the ground of Reality must be self-sustaining, and hence,
self-creating. It follows that the ground of existence necessarily exists, and so is eternal. All
possibility ultimately lies dormant within that which necessarily exists. In the language of
quantum mechanics, every determinate eigenstate with respect to a particular physical observable
may be alternately represented as a series of eigenstates with respect to an indeterminate physical
observable incompatible with the first.

Hermann Weyl notes in his book, "The Open World," that the state of a two-electron system is not
determined by the state of each individual electron added together, but that the states of each
electron may be deduced from the state of the two-electron system.

Leibniz's series: 1 - 1/3 + 1/5 - 1/7 + 1/9 - 1/11 + . . . , does not converge when the terms are
rearranged into a sum of the following two sequences: (1 + 1/5 + 1/9 + . . . +) + ( -1/3 - 1/7 - 1/11
- . . . ). This is a rather common property of what are called alternating infinite sequences.
This property is very mysterious, but can be made to seem less so if one pictures each term of the
sequence as a numbered bead on a string. A finite number of terms of the series may be
rearranged arbitrarily to produce the identical sum, and this may be thought to be possible simply
because the string, being finite in length, permits the removal, and hence, rethreading of all the
beads onto the string in any arbitrary order. However, given an infinite number of beads, the
string is now itself infinite in length and so it is no longer possible to remove the beads so as to put
them into a new order. The order of the beads may only be changed into that represented by the
two sums provided that the original string is cut, and this changes the topological relationship of
the beads; in a finite sequence the order of the terms (beads) may be rearranged without altering
the topological relationship of the beads. It is also interesting to note that Leibniz' series
converges to the value of pi/4 because the value of convergence is itself an irrational number
possessing a decimal expansion which possesses no determinate order whatever so that what we
have is an equation between an irrational number and an infinite sum of rational numbers, on the
one hand, and, on the other hand, an equation holding between an infinite sum of terms possessing
a mathematically determinate sequential order with respect to a simple mathematical operation,
namely, addition, and an infinite sum of terms possessing no mathematically determinable
sequential order - no sequential order with respect to any definable mathematical operation. We
may suspect that Cantor's argument for the existence of what he calls nondenumerable infinity,
i.e., the famous "diagonal argument," can be applied to the decimal expansion of pi to show that
this sequence of decimal fractions itself constitutes a nondenumerable set of rational numbers.
What is interesting here is that no possible rearrangement of the indeterminate sequence of
nondenumerable rational numbers constituting the decimal expansion of pi will produce an
irrational which diverges although there do exist rearrangements of the terms of Leibniz' series
which diverge. From this simple fact we may deduce that there is no infinite sequence of
denumerably infinite subsets of terms taken from Leibniz' series, on the left hand side of our
equation, which will produce a one-to-one correspondence with the infinite sequence of
rational numbers in the decimal expansion of pi.

Godel has stated that his incompleteness theorem applies only to logico-deductive systems more
powerful than that represented by arithmetic. This is because the proof of the theorem is based on
the Godel-numbering procedure, where each operator, as well as all the symbols utilized by the
system, are represented by Godel numbers, while all of the logical operations of the system are
defined in terms of arithmetic operations. So we may say that arithmetic is definable within all
so-called Godelian deductive systems.

The domain of all arithmetical operations is a domain devoid of topological structure.
Self-referential propositions introduce a topological structure into the domain of proof.
Rational numbers are the sums of convergent infinite series where the order in which the terms of
the series appear does not affect the value of the sum. We may say in this case that rational
numbers occupy a number field possessing arithmetic, or null, topological structure. Irrational
numbers, on the other hand, are the sums of infinite series which may diverge if the order in which
the terms of the series appear are altered. We may say that the irrational numbers occupy a
number field possessing a topological structure.

The degrees of freedom required for certain reactions, or interactions, to take place, are only
allowable within a space of large enough dimensionality to accommodate them.

The unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics within the physical sciences, borrowing the
famous phrase of the quantum physicist Eugene Wigner, is owing to the radically
overdetermined nature of natural phenomena.

A genuinely recursive system may only be derived from a recursive system equally or more
complex than itself, or if the recursive system is "constructed" out of simpler recursive elements,
the control system effecting or mediating the process of construction is, itself, a recursive system,
of greater complexity than the system being constructed.

The information content of a particular structure is defined by the degree of preciseness to which
the system approximates its intentional object. This definition is best understood in terms of the
"shattered hologram" metaphor.

A molecule belonging to a complementary molecule pair , a molecule which naturally
hydrogen-bond to one another, favors the spontaneous self-assembly of the molecule to which it
bears a topologically complementary relationship. More generally, the spontaneous
self-assembly of molecules is favored by a vacuum containing energy resonances complementary
to those upon which the molecule's energy structure depends for its sustained existence.

John Searle, the linguist and philosopher, has stated that formal computational systems are
incapable of consciousness because such formal systems do not effectively exploit the causal
powers of computation available for utilization by the human brain. Since the causal powers of
matter, as Searle terms them, stem from what is forever spontaneously occurring in the natural
realm at the very smallest dimensions of time and space, the process of abstraction, itself founded
upon the systematic ignorance of finer details of structure and function, introduces a kind of
built-in blockheadedness into systems of "artificial intelligence" which are physically realized
from relatively macroscopic and "insensitive" component parts, in accordance with "analytically
closed-form" designs.

Vacuum fluctuations which are simultaneous in one reference frame (Lorenz frame) will not
necessarily be simultaneous in other frames. We may deduce from this that the density of the
quantum vacuum is different in different Lorenz frames.


I do not think that Hugh Everett's many worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics is consistent
with the implications of quantum experiments which have been performed in the last few decades
since the time (1957) when he originally proposed his version of quantum theory. In Everett's
theory, the collapse of the wavefunction is interpreted as a sudden, discontinuous branching of the
observer from one parallel universe, where the wavefunction is uncollapsed, to a new parallel
universe where the wavefunction exists in one of its component eigenstates.

Enantiomer molecules, that is, molecules which were once thought to be identical in every way
except that they are the mirror reflection of each other, have recently been generally found to differ
in respect to their binding energies. So-called "right-handed" molecules, such as the amino acids,
D - tyrosine, D - glutamine, etc., have been found to posses smaller binding energies (and hence
are less stable) than their mirror image counterparts, the L - series amino acids by the same names.
Given the existence of a spatial fourth dimension, it is possible to convert a right-handed molecule
into its identical left-handed counterpart by pulling the molecule into 4 - space and rotating it 180
o
against the hyperplane (normal to) and returning the molecule to its original position within this 3
- hypersurface. This would suggest the existence of a preferential curl field acting within this four
dimensional continuum in a direction opposing the rotation of an L - molecule and aiding the
rotation of a R - molecule. This mechanism would be one logical way to account for the observed
differences in the binding energies of identical L - and R - molecules.


Information is neither created nor destroyed; information is always conserved, and when it appears
to be created, it is merely being transduced by being re-expressed within another medium. There
are myriad different media through which portions of the eternally pre-existent information may
be expressed, but there exists a primary medium which contains all information originally. All
other media through which information might be expressed are ultimately dependent upon this
primary information medium. In the same way that the transduction of energy from one medium,
say mechanical, to another medium, say electrical, is always accompanied by a loss of a portion of
the transduced energy as heat energy (whereby entropy is increased), some information is always
lost in the transduction of information from the primary medium to other secondary media. For
this reason, no informational systems or structures are permitted to come into being which possess
an information density greater than that of the volume which they occupy, this volume being
pervaded by energy in its primary form (vacuum energy). In the same way, there is a limit to the
mass-energy density of any particular volume of spacetime; this limit is that specified by
Schwarzchild's equation for the energy density of black holes. The information which is
inevitably lost as a result of the transduction of information from the primary medium to secondary
media simply passes back into the primary medium.

The law of the temporal evolution of information systems is provided by the pre-existing spatial
distribution of information. The determinate is dependent upon the indeterminate. Any
eigenstate which results from the process of quantum measurement is sustained in existence by the
eigenfunction spectrum of noncommuting operators. In other words, the determinate eigenvalue
associated with the determinate eigenstate which results from the act of quantum measurement
must be sustained in existence through the fluctuations of incompatible eigenvalues which
constitute the infinite Heisenberg uncertainty which exists with respect to the noncommuting
variables. To wit, the finite exists only through its participation with the infinite. All
transformations are definable in terms of mere projection operations; therefore, these
transformations, when investigated, always reveal the presence of conservation laws which seem
to govern, or provide constraints upon, these transformations. What is called the unity of
apperception in Kant's Critique of Pure Reason is synonymous with the existence of the underlying
noumenon which provides the rationality of any particular series of perceived continuous
transformations entertained within a finite mind. The interpenetration of the categories of time
and space support the unity of apperception.


The increase in complexity of coherent systems with time would seem to involve the creation ex
nihilo of quantities of information. There are reasons for believing, however, that what is really
involved in cases such as this is merely the partial redistribution of data along a spatial information
gradient onto a gradient which is part spatial and part temporal where the total quantity of
information is conserved in the process. With the introduction of excitation energy, the nonlocal,
distributed information content is partially transformed into local, lumped information content.


Is it, in principle, possible for all the neural firings which comprise the brain state to which is
associated a particular mental state to have been stimulated to occur entirely from outside the
brain's neural network, obviating the need for intricate feedback loops connecting the neurons with
one another which normally support such patterns of neuron firings? Intuitively we suspect that
merely reproducing the requisite neural firing patterns from outside the network would not be
sufficient to produce the normally occurring associated mental state. This is because the observed
neural firings would only possess a determinate order in terms of the perception of their order by
means of a neural network genuinely possessing intricate feedback structures. We might, in turn,
be puzzled by the force of this particular intuition which has at its root the notion of the importance
of timing and synchronization of the neurons with respect to one another. But this would really
only be important if there was something which the neurons incidentally interact with in the course
of their normal process of functioning to which the order of their "firing" might be fundamentally
related. We might then seek to include this additional something and produce the changes in it
also from outside, just as in the case of the neurons. Notice that in every case where we are
supposedly able to reproduce a given sequence of neural firings, we are dependent upon a
favorable condition wherein the time interval between firings within a given small region of the
brain are larger than the time uncertainty of the quantum system constituting the neural network.
It is precisely at this point where the time interval between neural events becomes comparable to
the quantum mechanical time uncertainty in which we become no longer able to determine the
sequence of these events from without, or outside these events! It is here that we say that the
temporal order of events becomes indeterminate. However, what we really mean to say here is
that the sequence of events has become indeterminate with respect to a set of external controls.
We find that our earlier intuition about the problem of the timing of the events appropriate to the
establishing of the requisite brain states crops up yet again. There is still something with respect
to which the patterned events (comprising the requisite brain states) occur which is important from
the standpoint of timing and synchronization, and we might, therefore, again, seek to include it,
just as before. The point here is that this process of trying to include the entire background
against which the timing of the brain events are significant can never be completed; we face an
infinite regress here. This regress is apparently resolved within the quantum mechanically
uncertain time interval of the network and therefore is forever beyond manipulation from outside,
that is to say, there cannot exist a determinate program adequate to produce the timing necessary to
integrate or unify the neural firings into the requisite coherent pattern we term consciousness.
To restate, this is because the ultimate embedding substrate within which the neural network
functions is made up of interconnected events possessing a time uncertainty which prevents their
delicate synchronization from ever being introduced from outside; moreover, such a
synchronization of events could not be simulated by a computer utilizing a deterministic program
since the notion of the rate of time's passage is meaningless within a deterministic system.

We must remember that a computer simulation is a strictly formal operation for which the physical
system mediating the simulation must satisfy a mere set of necessary conditions such as stability,
continuity, causality, internal synchronization, etc. The timing of physical occurrences taking
place within the physical medium of the program with respect to external events is completely
immaterial because, in effect, nothing new ever takes place during the course of the calculation
which is one and the same process as the simulation itself. Contrast to this, a situation in which
the medium in which data manipulation or processing is taking place, constitutes not merely a
necessary condition, but a necessary and sufficient condition for the "calculation" being
performed. Distributed throughout the medium, is the information necessary to the carry through
the action of data processing to its desired conclusion, but this information is not immediately
available, it must be accessed.
@$
We stated earlier that digital computer did not, in a fundamental
sense, possess memory since it is always possible to duplicate a digital computer possessing data
in memory without the duplicate ever having been "switched on" so that it might receive "input."
We also noted that a quantum computer is capable of possessing genuine memory due to the
impossibility, in principle, of copying a quantum state! This genuine memory possessed by the
ideal quantum computer represents an authentic example of privileged or private access of the
computer to its own "computational" states!

How do we succeed in explaining the action of a medium in terms of elements derived through
reductive abstraction of these elements from the original activity of such a medium? An
example of this paradox is the on-going attempt by theoretical physicists to explicate the action of
the total quantum vacuum energy field in terms of the subatomic particles discovered to date.


Of course, what is called dualism is completely ruled out in the case where the brain is thought to
function in a deterministic manner. This is because the isomorphism which must maintain
between brain states and mental states precludes the possibility that these two qualitatively
different types of states are causally connected; for any effective causal interaction between the
two would necessarily disrupt the isomorphism which is presupposed by the dualistic theory of
mind. On the other hand, in the absence of causal interaction between brain states and mental
states, there is no rational basis upon which we can say that particular mental states correspond to,
or belong to a particular brain. On the other hand again, however, if dualism is rejected and
causal relationships are allowed to obtain between brain states and mental states, then both types of
events/processes must be mediated by the very same underlying substance, or substrate. In this
way, the whole distinction between what are called brain states and mental states completely
breaks down, and one is forced to adopt a monistic theory of mind.

The notion of historicism, in the sense provided by the theories of Marx and Weber, is
conceptually unintelligible because it assumes the existence of a distinction the validity of which it
then later denies. That is the distinction between physical causal factors and historical factors in
the explication of social, political, cultural, and economic developments. The validity of
historicism would mean that history as a science of large scale human development doesn't really
work, that it doesn't have anything substantive to say at all because the real causal efficacy behind
the changes which history has traditionally studied lies at a level of description which is at once
lower and more fundamental than that where historical explanations are articulated.


That which is the source and sustainer of all things cannot be viewed as being anything but infinite.
Evolution may only be a local phenomenon - not a global phenomenon; evolution in the sense of
the genuine emergence of wholly unprecedented and unanticipated forms, structures, or
dynamisms - without this process of development somehow drawing upon a pre-existing reservoir
of information within which these "emergent" forms are at least implicitly prefigured, and which
mediates and underpins the evolutionary developmental process - is tantamount to the acceptance
of a fundamental process which is itself uncaused and which is not admitted to be the cause (or
reason) for its own existence. In the vacuum, information exists in a nonlocal, simultaneously
connected form. When the vacuum energy fluctuations mediate the occurrence of physical
processes, there is a transduction of nonlocal, parallel and simultaneously connected information
into a new local, sequential, and temporally connected form. The paradigmatic example of this
transduction process is the spontaneous production of fundamental particles out of the vacuum
within accelerated reference (non-Lorentzian) frames.

The ground of existence cannot be outstripped by any possible existent "thing." Nonlocality
presents the possibility of putting quantum mechanical probability on a "rational" footing; in other
words, a given wavefunction is normalizable on the average. The condition of normalizability is
not a very restrictive condition on a quantum mechanical wavefunction; there are an infinite
number of ways to refract or decompose a given wavefunction into a spectrum of eigenstates (of an
incompatible observable) so as to satisfy the normalization condition.

The fundamental paradigm shift which marked the transition from classical (Newtonian)
mechanics to the mechanics of quantum phenomena may be captured in the manner in which the
implied unified physical law constrains the phenomena of nature: classical physical law states
that what it prescribes to occur must necessarily occur - any behavior apart from this being
forbidden; quantum mechanical physical law states that what it does not proscribe or forbid to
occur necessarily occurs. This constitutes a kind of fecundity principle.

If the quantum mechanical vacuum is the origin of temporality, then the vacuum must itself be
timeless, which is to say, eternal. Moreover, that which is the originator of space must itself be
spatially unlimited.

Human intelligence has evolved to a point just short of that required to think something genuinely
interesting.

The neural network computer does not store information in any particular location within the
network, but stores information at particular energy levels of the global interaction of the network
as a whole. Each new bit of data which is fed into the network is stored at a next higher energy
level of the network. What ultimately becomes this next higher energy level is determined by a
virtually chaotic process of neural "firings" which occurs throughout the network and which is
stimulated by the introduction of a data input signal. Myriads of neurons throughout the entire
network continue to fire randomly until a new state of least energy is reached by the neural
network as a whole. If the separation between different energy levels within the neural network
(representing different bits of information) are close enough together in energy, then it becomes
very probable that there will be a process of continual virtual energy transitions occurring
between the various discrete energy levels of the network throughout its entirety. An interesting
point here is that these virtual energy transitions within the network owe entirely to the action of
the quantum fluctuations in the energy of the vacuum electromagnetic field. Moreover, the
probabilities of given neural energy transitions occurring within the network are determined by the
presence of the constantly occurring virtual energy transitions of the network which, again, are
mediated entirely by way of the quantum mechanical fluctuations in the vacuum electromagnetic
field, themselves, owing to the necessary presence of Heisenberg energy uncertainty within the
quantum vacuum. An essential difference between what are called virtual and what are called
real energy transitions, is parallel to the distinction between what are called virtual particles and
what are called real particles, respectively, in the theory of particle physics, namely, virtual energy
transitions cannot be measured directly, whereas real energy transitions can be measured directly,
for instance, in laboratory experiments. The real energy transitions which take place within the
neural network, and which are responsible for the communication of its processed information to
the "outside world," i.e., to the consciousness of both the individual subject as well as his listeners,
in the case of verbal communication, are, themselves, overdetermined phenomena. This is to say,
there are an indefinite number of distinct sequences of virtual energy transitions which are capable
of producing the very same real energy transition within the neural network. This assertion
reminds us of Feynmann's sum of histories formalism for calculating the probabilities of
fundamental particle reactions. If it were not for the existence of energy degeneracy within the
neural network, there would be only one path of neural firings possible connecting one energy
level of the network to the next higher one. The operation of a neural network would in this case be
formalizable in the form of a computer algorithm. Thus is the way to what is called intentionality
opened up and made possible: the very same determinate sequence of neural firings may have an
unlimited number of alternative future brain states in view, in other words. It is interesting to
note that the interaction of the virtual energy states of the neural network is not mediated primarily
by the physical realization of the network itself, but by the next highest order of perturbations to
the energy of the neural network. What we have been calling "virtual energy transitions," are
really only the first order perturbations to the global energy of the neural network, conceived of as
a quantum mechanical system. The first order perturbations, what we have been calling, "virtual
transitions" within the network, are themselves, informed or mediated by, the quantum mechanical
perturbations to the first order perturbation energies of the network, i.e., 2nd order energy
perturbations, thus making the first order perturbations overdetermined phenomena as well. In
turn, the second order perturbation energy transitions (what might whimsically be called, virtual -
virtual energy transitions) are mediated by the occurrence of transitions between second order
perturbation energies, etc., and so on.

At this point we might realize that the real energy transitions occurring within the neural network
which are normally thought to be immediately responsible for the processing of all information by
the network, are engendered not by physical processes occurring at a lower level of organization,
but via processes taking place at higher levels of organization, represented by the next higher order
perturbation energy description of the neural network. We know that the virtual energy
transitions of any given quantum mechanical system are owing to the presence of energy
uncertainty in the system. It is more accurate, however, to say that this energy uncertainty is
present in the quantum vacuum itself, and is merely communicated to the quantum system, of
interacting elementary particles, say, through the exchange of energy between the quantum system
and the vacuum, which is itself where the energy uncertainty originates; we saw earlier that the
wavefunction describing a quantum mechanical system cannot be normalized if the energy
uncertainty is conceived of as being a property of the quantum system itself, so that it must be an
inherent property of the quantum vacuum. So perhaps we see now that the neural network itself
acts merely as a kind of terminus to an information reduction process, it acts as a kind of "reducing
valve" which serves to abstract a relatively tiny portion of information from the virtually infinite
information content of the overdetermined quantum vacuum which is instantaneously and
nonlocally connected with itself, and therefore represents the highest level of information
processing because it constitutes the interconnectivity of energy at its most exhaustive level. On
this view, information, like energy, may not be created or destroyed, but is a conserved quantity,
and its ultimate source is the infinite energy reservoir represented by the quantum vacuum. We
already saw how Temporality itself stems from the presence of quantum energy uncertainty,
which, in turn, originates in the vacuum, conceived of, again, as a reservoir of virtually infinite
energy density. Consequently, since Temporality itself has its origin in the vacuum, it follows
that the this infinite sea of vacuum energy itself had no beginning in time! The vacuum now
begins to remind us of Heraclitus' "ever living fire," "in measures kindling and in measures going
out," and thereby mediating, as an eternal flux, all the changes continually taking place in the
natural order. Moreover, Heraclitus' statement that, "everything is an exchange for fire, and fire
an exchange for every thing," reminds us the interconvertibility of mass and energy in quantum
relativistic field theory, this interconvertibility being mediated by the continual exchange of
energy between matter and vacuum. Heraclitus' "ever living fire" is to him the fire of the gods,
yet uncreated by the gods. His statement that "Thunderbolt steers the Universe" no doubt refers
to the thunderbolt wielded by Zeus, the greatest of all the Olympian gods; when this thunderbolt is
identified with "the fire of the gods," that is, with Heraclitus' ever living fire, the parallel between it
and the vacuum becomes an intriguingly close one; the quantum vacuum, by eternally mediating
all physical processes, manages to "steer the Universe." It is also interesting that Greek
mythology tells us that Time owes its existence to Chaos through that fact that the god, Chaos, is
named as the father of Kronos. Moreover, the Greek word, arche, which means source or origin
in ancient Greek, is translated into Latin as principium, i.e., ordering principle. The idea behind
this particular translation of arche into principium is the same one expressed by Leibniz, when he
states in his Monadology that, "the conditions sufficient to create the world are necessary at every
succeeding moment of time in order to sustain the world's existence." We now arrive at the
notion of first cause, not in the usual sense of first in a temporal sequence, but in the at once
broader and subtler sense of most fundamental or substantive.







Since it is the pattern of virtual particle emission and absorption which every real particle
continually undergoes which determines the mass of the particle, it follows that real particle
masses are determined through the particular manner in which real particles exchange energy with
the fluctuating quantum vacuum field; consequently, alterations in the density of the vacuum field
energy will affect the masses of particles occupying this vacuum. We might expect that this
relationship between mass-energy and vacuum-energy is symmetrical in nature because the
interactions mediating the continual exchange of energy between matter and vacuum are
themselves reversible interactions. This two-way causal, symmetrical relationship between mass
energy and vacuum energy within quantum field theory reminds us of a similar relationship
between mass and space-time curvature within the theory of general relativity: the presence of
mass within a given region of spacetime produces an additional curvature in this spacetime; also,
an increase in the curvature of a particular region of spacetime produces an increase in the mass of
particles or material bodies already occupying this region. Since spatio-temporal variations in the
energy density of the vacuum energy field are correlated with variations in spacetime curvature,
we might suppose that some sort of conformal mapping relationship obtains between the ratio of
real particle to virtual particle energy densities and the degree of mutual inclination of the time and
space axes ( of the Minkowski light cone ) to one another. This relationship is also suggested by
the fact that real particles are virtual particles which have been promoted to the level of real
existence through the absorption of energy; particles are excitations of the vacuum state which is
itself a reservoir or sea of virtual particles. Also, through the application Mach's formula for the
speed of sound to this vacuum energy reservoir, we see that such a conformal mapping relationship
between Einsteinian space-time curvature and spatial-temporal variations in the zero-point energy
of the vacuum (or, alternatively, its energy density) must involve mappings between the hypersolid
angle swept out by the light line in four-dimensional (Minkowski ) spacetime, and the energy
density (or pressure) of the vacuum.


We must distinguish between evolution's creative and its critical faculties. Adaptation is not the
purpose of evolution; it is the trial and error critical process which evolution is subjected to by the
contingent environmental conditions within which it finds itself operating. Darwinian natural
selection is merely a critical process; it is not in any way a creative process, in and of itself.
Natural selection merely structures, channels or filters the creative suggestions made to it; it plays
no role whatever in the fundamental dynamism driving biological evolution; natural selection is
merely the set of boundary conditions within which the dynamism of evolution functions, perhaps
in the sense of Bergson's elan vital. Here again, we have an example of how boundary and initial
conditions are essentially separable from the dynamisms which they conscribe. Similar remarks
were made regarding the process of technological advancement, which was viewed as a
progression in sophistication in imposing initial and boundary conditions upon the invariant and
unitary dynamism of Nature. We know that natural selection is not able to operate unless
self-reproducing information-bearing structures are already in existence; moreover, natural
selection has little opportunity to mold these self-reproducing structures into more complex
forms unless it can profit from the creative suggestions made to it through the operation of random
mutations, themselves useless if they cannot be passed on to future offspring. So it is also
necessary that something analogous to a genetic code be contained within these self-reproducing
structures, themselves the expression of the information contained within this genetic code.

The problem, then, with Darwinism, or its modern derivative, neo-Darwinism, is that a great
deal of evolutionary development must have already occurred, in the form of so-called chemical
evolution prior to the appearance of the first self-reproducing, information bearing structures,
before the distinctly Darwinian process of natural selection of random mutations is permitted to
begin. So the creative dynamism, spoken of previously, is to be identified with that dynamism
lying behind the prebiotic process of chemical evolution, a process which does not halt its
operation once the Darwinian process of evolution commences, but which continues hand in hand
with natural selection, and, moreover, maintaining its central role as the motivating dynamism in
the evolution of progressively more complex forms of life.



The subjective "I am," which is just the individual's personal consciousness, dependent upon the
objective world outside itself, is not to be confused with the objective "I AM," which is the one and
unique self-existent Consciousness which is the source of all individual subjective
consciousnesses.

It is the quite common type of fantasy, frequently indulged in by proud and vain human mortals,
to imagine oneself in some glorious situation where one is either vindicated, suddenly elevated in
greatness (or suddenly shown to have been great) or rendered, usually by one's own efforts,
victorious or triumphant over some powerful adversity or persecution, or moreover, to receive
praise and adulation from the many as one speaks, performs or otherwise acts in a manner which
compellingly displays ones authority. We human beings indulge in this kind of fantazisation a
great deal when we are children, perhaps more so when developing adolescents, while some of us,
upon becoming "adults," tend as we approach middle age to set aside, eventually completely, such
obvious puerile self-glorifications of the imagination. Some of us, on the other hand, never seem
to put such self-gloried imaginings behind us, despite advancing age and maturity.
Everyone has either heard of or reflected upon the phenomenon of selfishness exhibited in the
strong tendency we all have of seeking out (in secret, of course) from a pack of family
photographs, those particular photos in which we ourselves appear. Eventually, we become
aware of the implications of this kind of behavior, which shames us: if everyone were to be this
self-centered, then there would be no one left to care for me as much as (or more than) I care for
myself and I would be a selfish person alone in a universe of selfish persons. Of course, part of
one's motivation for thinking in this way, perhaps unbeknownst to oneself, is the Kantian notion of
the Golden Rule; to wit, that I must act in such a manner that I will that my action become a
universal moral law.
But what of the phenomenon where I imagine myself being some other person when I am in the
midst of some profound or deeply moving aesthetic or intellectual experience; I imagine what this
experience would be like for this other person and somehow the intensity and wonder of the
experience is amplified for me, myself, through this psychological projection. Part of the
augmentation of the aesthetic experience for me is the sense of personal, if partly disembodied
glory which redounds to my sense of identity because it is I who is leading this person, in my
mind's eye, to the unaccustomed though fuller appreciation of this experience. Partly again, the
experience is, for me, augmented because I borrow the other's innocence, using it as a foil against
which the experience may be rediscovered by me in all its aboriginal wonder. Moreover, I act as
this person's spiritual mentor; I help this person penetrate a mystery which I have long ago
discovered for myself, and if this other person is ultimately identified with my own self; this is
implied because all of these projections occur within my mind's eye, then I seek to view myself as
the father of my own future spiritual and intellectual development. But on a more basic human
level, I am imagining the sharing of a profound idea or experience with another person in a way
which is seldom, if ever demonstrated in actual social intercourse with my fellow human beings;
certainly it is love which motivates this peculiar psychological projection - the kind of love which
does not distinguish self from other.



I have no acquaintance with either physical objects so-called nor with any phenomena taking place
within the domain of other minds; in fact, I have had no acquaintance with any phenomena
whatever other than those pertaining to my own psychological states, states which are presumably
closely related to the concerted electrochemical activity of my billions of cortical neurons.
Consequently, I am forced to accept the existence of physical objects and other minds purely on a
faith borne of appearances which might be easily explained numerous other ways than those which
seem to be dictated by what is called "common sense." I wish to remark here that if an omniscient
( not to mention omnipotent ) God fails to exist who is, by the way, the only possible vouchsafe for
the existence of an objective world containing other consciousnesses than my own, then there is
absolutely nothing standing in the way of my drawing the less than comforting conclusion that I
alone exist, i.e., Solipsism is the metaphysical truth, and moreover, there is absolutely nothing
standing in the way of my concluding that I, myself, am ultimately responsible for all the
phenomena which I have experienced or ever will experience and that God does indeed exist and
that I am Him. But of course, I wholeheartedly reject such a preposterous conclusion:
solipsism is a thesis which I must reject out of hand and with it the proposition that God does not
exist. What I have just stated above is by no means a rational proof of the existence of God. But
it is an argument which reflects the inner logic of the whole of my being in its ineluctable
affirmation of His existence from which I have not the strength to depart.

The very structure of language contains within itself the subtle implication that all human
beings possess the belief, whether they consciously realize it or not, that the sum total of possible
knowledge is itself integral. But this hypothesis about the inherently integral nature of
knowledge implies, in turn, the existence of a unitary repository for this sum of knowledge, which
is to say, a universal mind or intellect.





It occurs to me that all true mysteries are intimately connected and intertwined with one another; to
find the solution to only one of these mysteries would mean having found the answer to all. Just
listing some examples may succeed in illustrating to one's deeper intuition that this must be true:
a few of these mysteries are that of existence itself, the origin of consciousness, freedom of the
will, the mystery of Time and along with it that of eternity, the mystery of immortality and that of
divinity. A bright young child may agree with this observation, remarking, "well, God exists and
He knows the answer to all things." But it really does seem that the contemplation of any one of
these mysteries inevitably leads to the contemplation of all the others as well as some which I
haven't mentioned, and one may ask, " why might this be so?"




Most individuals are totally incapable of what is called lucid dreaming, dreaming where the
dreamer remains aware that it is he who is in control of all the action of the dream. Freud's
doctrine of the conservation of psychic energy suggests that the control of the dream action is
mediated by the domain of the psyche lying between full consciousness and the level of
consciousness at which the dreamer's mind operates so that the action of the dream must dissolve
upon the dreamer attaining his full consciousness because the intermediary domain of
consciousness which controls the dream is reduced to nil or "squeezed out." An analogy will
serve here. A river may not rise to an altitude greater than that of its source, at which level its
kinetic energy is completely transmuted into potential energy. It might therefore be thought that
only those individuals who experience repression of their normal full consciousness would be
capable of "lucid dreaming" as the control of the dream action would be mediated by the
consciousness within the domain between the individual's repressed consciousness and his normal
potentially full consciousness; this is just a slightly more abstract way of saying that the psychic
energy which is usually unavailable for utilization by the conscious mind is freed up during the
unconsciousness of sleep and rendered available to the unconscious for use in mediating the
phantasmagorical action of the various dream sequences, themselves, according to Freud, the
acting out of wish fulfillments. The upshot of all this is that the presence of lucid dreaming is a
possible indication that the individual experiencing it is not reaching his normal psychic potential
for full wakeful consciousness and that the reason for this is a deficit of available psychic energy
due to the presence of myriad emotional conflicts lying repressed within his unconscious mind.




Quantum Mechanics verifies the old Scholastic metaphysical understanding of all change or
Becoming as occurring due to a deficit of Being: all real physical processes are mediated via
virtual processes; these virtual processes possess by definition an energy smaller than the energy
uncertainty of the quantum mechanical system which is comprised by the real processes
mediated by them. The total energy uncertainty of a quantum mechanical system is, by the way,
relative to the reference frame within which the system is "viewed," and therefore differences in
the vacuum's zero-point energy reflect changes in our frame of motion - in the sense provided by
relativity. More specifically, Lorenz contractions occur to not only to the eigenvalues of length,
but also to the quantum uncertainties of length. Similar statements may be made with respect to
momentum, energy, time, etc..
This precise "deficit of Being" may only be defined in terms of the complete description of the
total process; this description, as already noted, exists only for itself and cannot be derived from
without as an infinite regress of description stands in our way here. In this connection we may
state the fundamental principle that "the mediator may not be defined in terms of the total set of
processes which it mediates." This "deficit of Being" of Scholastic philosophy is exactly
analogous to the energy uncertainty of quantum mechanics. If Hegel is correct in saying that
positive entities exist only by virtue of the accumulation of various negations of relations holding
between the Absolute and itself, then each entity must more or less clearly and distinctly exhibit
the unified totality of Reality in microcosm, the developmental program of which is contained in
the greater quantity of information which is determined when a number of these entities come into
conjunction with one another. For instance, the molecular bonding of atoms, whether it be ionic,
covalent, or by the weaker Van der Waal's force, cannot be induced to occur within a previously
specified period of time simply through the manipulation of the atoms 'from outside;" one may
only place the atoms in the approximate position whereupon the action of bond formation ensues
through the spontaneous action of the vacuum electromagnetic field. In fact, the quantum
mechanical method utilized in physical or quantum chemistry to determine the various bonding
probabilities has nothing whatever to say about which precise configuration or shape, out of the
many possible configurations, will be formed as a result or the spontaneous bonding process.
This fact is readily seen when one attempts to view the spontaneous conformation of a denatured
macromolecule such as a nucleic acid as the result of the amino acids of composing the molecule
trying myriad possible different conformations by trial and error until the energetically favored
(most stable) conformation is found. In even relatively small macromolecules the total number of
possible conformations is so staggeringly large that even if the components try a different
configuration every 10
-13 seconds (a very liberal assumption) the time required to hit on the
"correct" conformation by chance would take many orders of magnitude longer than the present
age of the observable universe! The wavefunction which describes the total system of interacting
atoms entering into the bonding process is approximated as a product of the individual
wavefunctions describing the approximate quantum state of the atoms; it is only the complete
wavefunction which describes these atoms as being inextricably entangled with the whole
vacuum-energy/ mass-energy matrix which contains the information about the shape of the
resultant molecule, among other things. No individual quantum mechanical wavefunction is truly
normalizable, although a large ensemble of such wavefunctions will approach normalizability in
the limit of infinite ensembles. There will always appear to be coupling between the eigenstates
of a wavefunction which is, itself, merely an approximately exact wavefunction; in reality, there is
only one universal wavefunction, as its normalizability requires. This process is very much akin to
the decrease of fuzziness in a holographic image which occurs on two or more pieces of a
shattered holographic emulsion when the various pieces are refitted together. On this view all
development of material systems from the simplest subatomic constituents to the most complex
living organisms, consists in the negation of negation, engendered by the conjunctions of these
constituents which occurs by chance outside length uncertainty of the constituents, but which is
actively directed once they interpenetrate within this range where they enter into the effective
range of their innate quantum- uncertainty mediated tendencies toward self-organization,
tendencies which are a manifestation of the partially distinct "image" of the Absolute, i.e., the
universal wavefunction, which each constituent contains in microcosm within itself. Because
creation is conceived under the aspect of the negation of the negation of contextual relatedness
within the Absolute, this negation which is negated being understood as the reduction of
information resulting from the partial expression of the universal wavefunction as a product of
partial wavefunctions corresponding to relatively uncertain subatomic constituents, the problem of
"Why is there something rather than nothing?," is no longer rendered insoluble by the
requirement of explaining creation ex nihilo, but it is simply recognized that there has to have
always been something or other, so what better candidate for this something than that unified
plenum which is its own description, which is per Aristotle its own eternal contemplation; that
entity which Hegel calls the Absolute, and which we have styled "the universal wavefunction."

Should the notion of substance turn out to be an incoherent one, then we are not barred
from asserting that, you can indeed get something from nothing provided that there are no
possible conditions to prevent this.


Dr. Scholem, in his Trends in Jewish Mysticism, tells us that in any case where there is a transition
from one state or configuration to another that, "the void is spanned for an instant." Madame
Blavatsky refers to evolution as a "spiritual Opus in reverse," meaning that the world arose
through a process of involution (a reduction of the infinite to the finite, but containing a vague
recollection of the whole from which it was originally abstracted and which guides its future
development. This future development is constituted by the return of the Absolute back to itself,
directed from above and hence is a recapitulation of the timeless and transcendent within the realm
of the temporal and immanent.

To say that Reality cannot be given a complete description on account of the inevitable pitfall of
infinite regress is merely to say that if this description does not already exist, then it can in no way
be constructed; there is nothing in what has just been said to prevent a complete description of
Reality which has always existed. In fact, it is due to the lack of a complete description which is
responsible for the existence of temporality. This observation is very much in the same spirit of
the mathematician Kurt Godel's discovery that the notion of truth is stronger than the notion of
provability; the fact that a theorem expressible within the symbolic language of a particular
logico-mathematical system may not be constructed from the axioms of its system utilizing the
rules of inference of this system does not prevent this theorem from "existing" in the sense of its
being true. But one might ask what is the meaning of mathematical theorems which are beyond
the comprehension of any finite mind and which are not true by construction from a possible
collection of axioms, but true in some more fundamental sense.

Wittgenstein tells us that we may not use substantives in a manner which attempts to extend the
reference of these terms beyond the scope of all possible experience without falling into either
meaninglessness or absurdity. Therefore, when we ask the question, "Does God exist?" the most
we can possible mean by this question is, "Does God exist within our space-time continuum?"
We cannot ask whether God exists in Reality (Wirklichkeit) since Reality cannot possess a
complete description without this description having always existed and without admitting the
existence of such a description, one necessarily beyond all possible attempts to construct it, and
which may only exist from a single point of view or perspective. So it seems that one may not ask
whether God exists in Reality (in the sense of Wirklichkeit ) without presupposing an answer in
the affirmative, because the admission of the existence of Ultimate Reality is one and the same
with the admission of God's existence. It is meaningful, however, to ask this same question in
the sense of Realitat. That which has always existed, and its complete description, which has
always existed must be a part of this same eternally pre-existent Reality. It is obvious that the
description and the Reality must be essentially one and the same entity which is, who is, God.
The finite may not be complete without conditions being specified, and these specified conditions
may not obtain except within the purview of a larger context, containing the particular finite
thing.


Only those independently occurring genetic mutations may occur at lower levels in the gene
regulatory hierarchy, i.e., to structural genes, which become integrated together within a member
of an evolving species which might have possessed a common source in the form of single
mutation to a higher order regulatory gene, one which controls the expression of the original set of
structural genes prior to the occurrence of these independent mutations. The operation of
Darwinian natural selection presupposes the existence of a gene regulatory hierarchy which
controls not only the expression of individual genes, but more importantly controls the integration
of the expressions of large numbers of genes at the lower levels of this hierarchy.




To reiterate, there has always been something. What better candidate for this something than that
than which nothing greater can be conceived (per Anselm) ? This something has no complete
description except within and through itself. The only truly determinate entity is the totality of
everything which is possible or it is the void, as nothingness is, by its very nature, determinate.




It has been humorously noted that Time exists so that everything will not happen at once.
Temporality seems to require that (per Bergson) genuine novelty continually intrude into the
world. The act of creation is not an event within history; it is the beginning of history; it is the
very inception of novelty. But since the continued presence of temporality seems to require
continual activity of creation, it seems more consistent to assume that creation itself is a
fundamental process which itself had no beginning, which was itself never created, that the
activity of creation is that which has always existed and which requires no explanation other than
itself. On the other hand, however, it seems that this fundamental process of creation cannot be a
unified process, for otherwise it is an act which could have been consummated instantaneously,
once for all. Temporality must therefore be a process of recapitulation of timeless reality with
Reality itself as the medium through which the recapitulation is accomplished.



If Reality has a complete description, it is not one which can be constructed, not one which had any
origin in time: it is indeterminacy itself which is ultimately responsible for the existence of
temporality itself. If such a complete description exists it must have always existed and the
description and the reality must be one and the same. Consciousness offers itself immediately as
a likely candidate for such an ultimate reality since consciousness is its own representation.
If it is true that consciousness is required in order to collapse a quantum mechanical wavefunction
into a determinate eigenstate, then consciousness, if it had an origin in time, must have arose out
the interaction of uncollapsed wavefunctions - it must have arisen out of a situation of infinite
energy uncertainty.

The velocity of light is determined by the ratio of real particle energy to virtual particle energy.
Hence, the elsewhere region of the Minkowski light cone may be identified with that region of the
vacuum which stands in a relation of Bell nonlocality to the observer.

The unity of the conscious mind is no doubt owing to Bell-nonlocal connectivity of neurons within
the brain.

If it is true that there has always been something (as in the metaphysical question, "why is there
something rather than nothing"), out of which the Universe arose, assuming that this something is
not just the Universe itself, then there must not be, ultimately speaking, a universal or all
encompassing, ongoing process of either evolution or degradation in the development of Reality.
This is because by this present time an infinite amount of time must have already passed so that
Reality should have either degraded into utter nothingness or reached a state of eternally
unchanging perfection and we do not observe the Universe to presently occupy either of these two
extreme states: temporality could not exist within a universe which derives its existence from a
ground of unchanging perfection (fullness of being) nor could the universe derive its existence
from a ground of nothingness (complete degradation). We now arrive at the conclusion that
Reality as a whole is neither evolving (increasing in complexity) nor is it devolving (decreasing in
complexity) so that any apparent changes in complexity in the Universe, e.g., biological evolution,
increasing entropy, are merely local changes which are on the whole compensated by opposing
processes elsewhere.




We may think of causal relationships as obtaining between terms or entities occupying a plane of
equal levels of abstraction with the process of abstraction itself and its opposing process, that of
concretion, being processes which do not admit of an exhaustively causal analysis.

If it is only possible to alter the boundary conditions and initial conditions which the dynamism of
Nature is subject to , but not to alter in any way the dynamism itself, then the most advanced
technologies will amount to nothing more than having discovered how to goad Nature into doing,
in the best way she knows how, what she has all along been in the very act of doing.

It is the possibility of formulating recursive propositions and this possibility alone which allows
the domain of true theorems, expressible within the language of a deductive system, to transcend in
magnitude the domain of provable theorems, i.e., theorems which may be deduced from the
axioms of the system through application of the rules of inference of the system.

There is no comprehensive rule by which a computing device may recognize the appearance of a
recursive proposition since recursiveness is a structure which can only be suggested; it cannot be
literally stated.


June 1998
The recursiveness of consciousness is apparent in the fact that the dying away of
represent-ations within consciousness takes place in absolute simultaneity with the bringing into
being of new representational contents to consciousness. In fact, these two processes, that of the
passing away and the coming into being of consciousness transitory representations, indeed, are
one and the very same process!

Unlike representations within consciousness, in which there
necessarily exists a figure/ground structure, with only figure being represented and ground
supporting this figure beneath the level of awareness, in the dynamic flow of the representations of
consciousness, figure and ground coexist on an equal footing as a unified phenomenal flux. We
are, however, only using the terms, figure and ground, in the metaphorical sense of becoming as
figure, or figuring, and fading, if you will, as ground, or, more aptly, grounding, i.e., grounding of
figuring. But insofar as this metaphor of figure and ground applies to the changing representations
of consciousness, to this extent we shall say that the process of the simultaneous becoming and
fading of these representations is a process which is not enframed. It is a process which takes
place ultimately always outside. The contents of consciousness always come into being not from
elsewhere within itself, but always from outside itself - from otherness or from alterity, but never
from within alterity. For there is not within-ness for the unconditioned, the unbounded, the
indeterminate. The indeterminate does not specify anything of itself as a coordinated totality. The
contraction of the infinite upon finiteness is itself a transfinite or transcendental process. Now a
transcendental being is itself an infinite determination. The outsideness of alterity transcends the
category of spatiality. For this variety of outsideness is not simply coextensive with the
outsideness of all other determinations. This holds for a particular existent among a finite set of
existents within a preestablished spacetime. In short, the outsideness of alterity is intrinsic
or innate, that is, it is not determined outside itself. So alterity possesses its own alterity and this
implies the givenness of other alterities. This is why an object determined in space and time
is not other in the same way that another being like myself is other. The becoming of a
transcendental being is nontemporal as it is not reducible to a determination of substance. The
being and becoming of alterity is what constitutes spatiotemporality.

All baryons are composed of various combinations of three different quarks out of the six possible
different types of quark; the mesons, however, are each composed of different quark pairs from
among the six fundamental quark types. The fundamental force responsible for binding together
the various quark combinations out of which all baryons and mesons are composed possesses the
bizarre property of increasing in strength as the distance separating the quarks increases. The
important result of this is that it is impossible to fragment these quark laden particles into their
fundamental constituent quarks: it is impossible to produce a "free quark," in other words. This
is almost as though the quark does not possess a determinate energy structure except as it exists
within groups of two, three or possibly larger numbers of quarks. The quark may be an example
of an entity whose identity is totally context dependent with the quark itself, paradoxically,
providing the context for its own determination as a substantive entity. Such an entity might not
possess a definite energy equivalence in the sense that it is not possible to determine the quark's
energy independently of the energies associated with the force fields the particle produces. An
entity such as the quark which is defined in terms of the combined effect that it has upon itself (and
one or more duplicates of itself ) provides us with the best example to date of what might be called
a self-existent entity.

Quantum nonlocality effects could govern the superluminal transmission of information between
various widely separated locations within the brain's cortex without producing a verifiable
violation of special relativity's restriction on superluminal transmission of information between
separate minds. This would be possible if the very same nonlocality effects are required for the
integration of the individual's consciousness as a whole. The idea or flash of insight would then
be time-delayed by the necessary time interval involved in conveying this idea from the location in
his brain where the crucial integration occurred to those parts of his nervous system which pick up
this message and in turn translate it into classically described nerve impulses then responsible for
the ultimate series of muscle cell contractions required to transmit the message to the external
world of attending observers. Another way of looking at this kind of nonlocality is for the
nonlocalized quantum effects to be confined to a vacuum energy/information reservoir,
exhaustively connected with itself nonlocally, which is continually tapped into by the neural
network of the person's brain.

September 2011
It is intriguing to consider that, consciousness (implementing a will capable of
startling the quantum vacuum in its instinctive ambition to marshall its multifarious
fluctuations into a giant and useless standing wave pattern) is informed by brain functions likely
constituted out of the very superluminal signals that are intersubjectively forbidden by special
relativity. Consciousness acts to buffer these forbidden information signals. Time paradoxes
can be harmlessly dissipated if the would be causally contradictory information generated by
processes potentially leading to them are vented to higher dimensional time. Libets subjective
time bubble (specious present) of approximately 500 ms in duration swallows up any possible
forbidden signals, since these presumably can travel no further into the past or future than
somewhat less than 250 ms. If freely willed action on the part of an embodied spacetime agent in
the sense of his possessing the powers and authority to initiate causal chains, presupposes
conscious intention to act, while consciousness is incapable of bootstrapping itself into an
intentional state in real time, but requires the minimum time to do this which is presupposed by the
brain stimulation experiments of Dr. Libet, then what we appear to have here is a natural
mechanism within the brain enforcing chronology protection. In a word, if information is always
constituted by superluminal signals (because this necessarily occurs within a unified conscious
state), but superluminal signals are never constituted by information, then chronology protection
seems assured. The fact that only data can be transmitted and received intersubjectively, while
information is always transmitted infrasubjectively, i.e., is constitutive of subjective conscious
states capable of informing intentions of the free agent to act by initiating a causal chain, is what at
bottom enforces chronology protection. Also, the prevention of cross-talk between distinct
subjective centers of volition through the judicious parceling and administration and quantum
vacuum signal bandwidth by what may well constitute the equivalent of a cosmic FCC, could be
described as an equivalent way of describing the chronology protection mechanism. Or perhaps
we are really only attempting to describe the very same chronology protection mechanism from
opposite ends as it were. Recall that the initiation of a causal chain itself constitutes a causality
violation. An amusing thought is that individual consciousness may serve a larger ecological
purpose vis a vis chronology protection within the transhuman context of cosmic spacetime. I
am reminded here of those happy and enthusiastic scrubbing bubbles from the ubiquitous toilet
bowl cleaner commercials of the 1990s. It would not surprise me if consciousness possesses a
peculiar action akin to an entropy engine, the fuel for which being these superluminal signals that
Einstein says cannot exist. Note that the conscious mind in the fundamental role conceived for it
here, is entirely powerless to stop or prevent the superluminal propagation of momentum and
energy!

December 2012
Try thinking of personal consciousnesses as causality-violating signal dispose-alls.
The causality integrative processes necessary for the formation of new individual minds require
superluminal signaling, which, however, is fundamentally causality-violating. So as cosmic
safeguard, distinct individual consciousnesses are provided as preexisting infrastructure to
enable the coalescence of substrates for grounding individual mentalities a fundamental process
which maintains chronology protection by maintanining requisite minimal disjointness of
superluminal signals. So Huxleys notion of the brain qua reducing valve may not be too far off
the mark. Causal supervenenience may have perhaps been interpreted thus far in a far too
philosophically self-serving manner, i.e., teleologically, rather than in a more properly ecological
manner (kind of like teleology turned inside-out, that is, from the standpoint of someone not
blessed with occupying the apex of the chain-of-being).

There seems to be nothing to strictly forbid the existence of superluminal causal connections
between events which lie outside of any observer's Minkowski light cone.
July 2011
Since the speed
of light does not serve as a limit for virtual particle processes, we might suppose that the elsewhere
region, that outside the light cone is constituted by vacuum fluctuations possessing a correlational
structure inconsistent with determinism.

Since the common sense view alleges that the past is nothing more than a fixed, crystallized record
of what has actually occurred within the present, it follows from this view then that a present which
has not had adequate time within which to resolve its internal contradictions and ambiguities must
retain a certain small degree of freedom within which change might continue even after this
moment becomes past. In this way, backwards causality would be admissible, if only for the
purpose of "cleaning up" the "loose ends" of still indeterminate entities occupying past times. But
doesn't common sense also define the past in such a manner that it does not actually become past as
such until such a point as this crystallization process is complete.
In other words, common sense defines the past in such a way that the time axis is necessarily
orthogonal to the three dimensions of space and this at every spatial scale, however small; it
defines the past in such a manner that there is no substantive distinction between past, present and
future, which is to say, it defines the past as a half-infinite time interval with its later endpoint
being the present moment whose status as present must be completely arbitrary. Within a
deterministic time continuum there is no nonarbitrary basis upon which any particular moment
along the continuum may be chosen over other contenders as being actually present.

A natural lawlike system of relationships which govern the behavior of a given entity may only be
formulated provided that this entity is not unique ( provided that multiple duplicates of the entity
exist and are available ) as in the case of subatomic particles, e.g., an electron. The quest for the
"theory of everything" is therefore doomed to ultimate failure, since what we call "everything" is
necessarily unique, and this uniqueness prevents us from separating those "variables" which are
particular to the thing itself from those which owe in part to our investigatory involvement with
this thing. The self, in the act of investigating ultimate reality, must be included within the
dynamic of the reality for which we are seeking a complete description. This inherent
recursiveness which lies at the heart of any earnest attempt to develop a complete description of
reality is alone responsible for the fact that the domain of truth necessarily transcends the sum of
knowledge comprising any point of view (of reality).

Quantum Mechanics tells us that a closed dynamical system may only undergo temporal evolution
provided that a certain energy uncertainty exists within the system. This energy uncertainty is
just the standard deviation of the energy about its mean or expectation value. This energy
uncertainty may be interpreted in terms of a time-average sum of random energy perturbations to
the system "from outside" the system. These random energy perturbations manifest themselves
in the form of energy exchanges between the quantum mechanical system and the sea of virtual
particles in which this system is embedded. The interaction of these virtual particles with the
quantum mechanical system are responsible for virtual transitions of the quantum state of the
system to other quantum states. The only real energy transitions available to the quantum
mechanical (dynamical) system are those from amongst the set of virtual energy transitions
which are continually occurring within the time interval specified by the system's time uncertainty.
The density of this virtual particle energy sea has a direct bearing upon the rate of temporal
evolution of any given quantum mechanical system. Our central hypothesis is that the presence
of matter has a perturbing effect upon this virtual particle energy sea, i.e., the quantum vacuum
field, and this perturbing effect is, namely, to decrease the overall density of this vacuum energy
which results in a similar decrease in the time rate of change of all physical processes within the
spatial volume occupied by this matter. This proposed vacuum mechanism is exactly similar to
the mechanism by which a quantum resonant cavity decreases the rate of spontaneous emission of
'cavity - detuned' photons by a Rydberg excited atom. The resonant cavity achieves this by
excluding most of the photons of half-wavelength larger than the cavity diameter: to wit, it does
this by decreasing the energy density of vacuum electromagnetic field fluctuations of roughly the
same energy as that of the suppressed atomic energy transitions.



Given this inherent circularity in the nature of technological growth, it follows that the ultimate
constituents of the World must be wholly recursive: they must be their own symbolic
representations.
If a "conscious computer" is ever developed in what will undoubtedly be the far distant future,
this mysterious property of such a device will in no way stem solely from the design or blueprint
by which its engineers will have conceived its construction; the blueprint will, of course, be a
necessary component in the realization of such a conscious machine, but will have been derived
from a necessarily somewhat fortuitous discovery, owing to much trial and error investigation, of
the "correct" hardware interface of the device with the recursive, self-organizing matrix of
quantum - vacuum energy fluctuations which underpin and mediate the stability of all fundamental
particles and their exchange forces. Only in appropriate dynamic conjunction with this
fluctuating energy matrix will any realization of a hardware design possess the topological energy
structure sufficient to tap the pre-existing "consciousness potential" of spacetime. In other words,
it is only the grace of Reality's fundamental dynamism which will permit the eventual construction
of a so-called conscious computing device. This empirical discovery of the correct interface
design will manifest itself perhaps during a testing phase where a long series of simulated sensory
inputs, of increasing complexity, are in the process of being fed into the device while its output
signals (responses) are being closely monitored. The memory medium of the device will begin to
accumulate stored or remembered inputs which it has never received through its various sensory
apparatus. Identical sets or series of inputs will produce significantly different series of outputs
both from an individual machine over time as well as from different machines at the same time -
even if these machines possess identical designs. Occasionally, radically different series or sets
of inputs will produce identical sets of outputs. A significant portion of the functional
relationship between output and input will depend upon changes in energy in the internal
components of the machine's hardware which are, themselves, smaller than the overall quantum
energy uncertainty of the device as a whole. Moreover, no mutually orthogonal set of
eigenfunctions will describe the "functioning components" of the device. This is why we have
been saying that the abstract spatial structure of our hypothetical computing device is
non-topological. Clearly, any realization of a static blueprint for a computing device, regardless
how complex, in the form or an dynamically functioning prototype, will itself be merely a
topological transformation of the blueprint from 2 or perhaps 3 spatial dimensions to 4 spatial
dimensions rather than the non - topological transformation from 3 spatial to 4 dimensions of 3
space and 1 time. This is because the state space of the transcribed structure, i.e., the design, can
be adequately described in spatial terms.

What is likely to be the outcome when the quantum entangled signals residing in the
quantum akashic record become accessible to the first quantum computers with which the human
brain has formed a workable information interface? Of course, without appropriate feedback, say
after the fashion of two-way supervised neural network training, these relic quantum entangled
signals are not likely to have any discernible meaning. Another sign of the embedding of
quantum computers in an informational matrix is these machines stubborn refusal to follow any
pre-programmed or design-based pattern of function/behavior.

In a very real sense, an object may not be thought to possess an internality unless it possess an a
genuine "outside" in the sense of a radically open system - a system which cannot be contained
within a closed system; a system is "closed" only if it is finite and neither receives nor transmits
energy to or from any system except itself. Such a closed system possesses no "outside."


QZ Contingent uniqueness versus necessary uniqueness. The size of the Universe and the black
hole mass limit as important parameters in determining the density of the quantum vacuum energy.




The asymmetrical nature of time perhaps has some bearing on the hierarchical structuring of
complex macromolecules. The fact that a molecule has been formed from a set of simpler
constituents does not guarantee that it can then be decomposed back into this set of constituents.
Similarly, the fact that a molecule has been broken down into a set of simpler constituents does not
guarantee that it can be recomposed from this selfsame set of constituents. Perhaps the
asymmetrical nature of temporality implies that any sufficiently large set of macromolecules may
be partitioned into two disjoint parts; those molecules possessing a bottom - up structure and those
possessing a top - down structure. This distinction which I am drawing is not a solid theoretical
one; it is a pragmatic distinction which assumes that status of a theoretical distinction when we
refer to molecules occupying either extreme end of the probability spectrum ( in terms of their
ability to form "naturally" from simpler parts ).

Will may only be defined in terms of a "rational" order foreign to itself which it resists or subverts.
Will is the external manifestation of consciousness. Will is a principle of incommensurate
causation. The set of lawlike relations which may be said to govern Will's operation are unique
and irreproducible. Rational order is simply that order which can be made to manifest its lawlike
relations in a reproducible manner.


There is no need to invoke a temporal description of this state space - the only reason one would
attempt it is because we project our genuine temporality onto the mind's eye realization of the
computing device in its act of "functioning." Henri Bergson, in his essay, Time in the History of
Western Philosophy, complained of a confusion which inevitably cropped up whenever
metaphysicians attempted to analyze the problem of motion. With a kind of gentle contempt he
described the frustration of these philosophers in trying to reconstruct linear motion from infinite
series of "immobilities", i.e., fixed points of infinitesimal length. He explained their failure as
being due to their ignorance of the nature of a linear interval as a mere projection of "mobility onto
immobility." This projection, naturally as such, does not capture the whole phenomenon, but
merely a point of view with respect to it out of an infinity of equally valid points of view, and so
from a single projection, or even a finite number of projections, one is never permitted to
reconstruct the original object as it is.

There are possible boundary conditions which might be easily placed upon the dynamic of the
"flux" which are nonetheless infinitely improbable as "natural" occurrences, which is to say that
the operation of intelligence is required to institute them.



It is these seemingly magical self - organizing properties of matter, owing to the recursiveness
of its ultimate "constituents," which make any attempt to calculate the "improbability" of
biological macromolecules an incoherent and meaningless enterprise. Similar activities are the
routine pastime of myriad scientifically inclined creationists attacking evolution. The
staggeringly large numerical ratios which they cite against the "chance occurrence" of the simplest
eukaryote DNA are calculated upon a permutational / combinational modeling of a prebiotic
"soup" in which chance collisions continually occur between precursor molecules, e.g., peptides,
amino acids, nucleic acids, etc. The serious problem with such a modeling approach is that it is not
an empirically derived statistical calculation as in actuarial computations, where a distinct
probability is assigned to each possible event within a pool, based on the observed relative
frequencies of each event, but is an abstract calculation where the probabilities are fixed at the
outset and remain unchanged throughout all series of calculations. For example, there are a vast
number of nucleic acid reactions taking place within the ribosome organelle of every living animal
cell which in the absence of certain mediating enzymes will take place anywhere from 9 to 20
orders of magnitude more slowly than if these enzymes are present - the ribosome is responsible
for "translating" the coded information of nucleic acids into various macromolecules (proteins)
and in so doing expressing the genotype of the developing organism. We see from this example
that the probability of the occurrence of various macromolecules essential to the appearance of the
first reproducing, metabolizing organic units begins infinitesimally small when the molecule's
precursors are yet unavailable, but that this probability grows by large discontinuous jumps each
time one of these precursors, the precursors' precursors, etc. arise inadvertently in the prebiotic
"soup" so that by the time the exhaustive set of macromolecular precursors is present, the
formation of the original macromolecule is virtually assured. The ribosome itself, despite its
inordinately complex structure, has been observed under experimental conditions to reform
spontaneously after having been dissociated within a carefully prepared enzyme bath into its
precursor polynucleotide constituents - and this within the space of only several hours! It is
indeed true that a countless variety of different enzymes (of the precisely correct type) must be
simultaneously present along with the polynucleotide matrix for this seemingly magical act of
spontaneous self - organization to occur. This is because the self - organization of such an
enormously complex organic structure depends, throughout the entire process, upon the almost
simultaneous juxtaposition (collision is a better term) of three or more precursor molecules which
all happen to have the exactly correct spatial orientation, with sufficient kinetic energy to
overcome the activation energy barrier against the reaction occurring. It should be noted here that
just the chance of any three compatible molecules ( in terms of a desired product ) colliding at once
with the roughly correct spatial orientation is an event with a probability only infinitesimally
greater than zero - let alone the question of proper activation energies. And so, even if the
primordial Earth possessed the appropriate reducing atmosphere with oceans chalk full of all of the
required precursor molecules for the ribosome to properly form, without the necessary catalyzing
cofactors ( the enzymes ) there would not likely have formed a single such structure by this late
epoch. Then perhaps there must have been an extremely long period of time during which the
necessary enzymes appeared on the scene, one might think. One suspects, then, a similar self -
organizing process behind the formation of these necessary enzymes, the only difference being
that the precursors which we are now concerned with are simpler, while their precursors must have
been simpler still, and so on. But the precursor macromolecules for many particular enzymes
have, indeed, never been manufactured ( because we don't know how to do it), but have to be
obtained from more complex molecules than themselves, if not from living or recently living
organisms. The theory of evolution, chemical evolution in this case, has secretly conditioned us
to believe that there must be some definite if inordinately complex sequence: precursors +
cofactors ~ simpler precursors + cofactors ~ etc. leading back to the very simplest organic
molecules which form by self - organization spontaneously and easily in a wide variety of
environments and without the need for cofactors or helper molecules of any kind, and that it must
have been such a process (only in reverse) which ultimately lead to the first self - reproducing
biological units which could then be developed further through Darwinian natural selection.
The notion of self - organization gives some of us pause because it concerns a natural process
which sits precisely on the fence between what might be called less - than - self - organization, i.e.,
formation from simpler components, and what is aptly called greater - than - self - organization,
i.e., formation from more complex components - and it is just such a notion which strongly
suggests a top - down hierarchy within the natural order which can only have intelligence at its
apex. At every step in the chain in the formation of higher level precursor molecules, the
mediation of the required reactions is accomplished via self - organization principles : those who
attempt to calculate the probability against "chance" formation of important precursor molecules
forget a very important general principle first articulated by the great rationalist philosopher
Leibniz - which is - that set of conditions which in combination are sufficient to produce some
complex structure must necessarily remain in operation at every succeeding moment to sustain the
existence of this structure. The upshot of this is that a complex structure which owes its origin to
mere chance cannot endure, still less could it respond to its environment in an adaptive fashion.

To bend Nature toward our intentions it is merely necessary for us to block all of those except
the one paralleling that one which is our own.

It is in the very nature of recursion not to be derivable from anything but recursion itself.
Therefore, if a recursion or recursive structure has a beginning in time it is complex, but may
only be analyzed in terms of other "simpler" recursive structures. These simpler components of
the recursive structure are themselves approximations to the larger structure which they form in
combination with one another.

The behavior of self - organizing systems cannot ultimately be explained in terms of principles of
organization which obtain externally, which is to say, such dynamic structures will not submit to a
reductionistic analysis.

The distinction between the "mental" and the "physical" may be drawn in the following way:
both are wholes composed of parts, both possess principles of organization, but what is termed a
physical whole is defined exclusively in terms of its constituent parts while the "parts" which
"compose" what is termed a mental whole are, themselves, defined in terms of the whole which
they compose. The reconstruction of a mental whole must be guided in a top - down manner
whereas the construction of a physical whole must be guided in a bottom - up manner. The
principle of a mental whole must exist prior to its actual realization ( in terms of whatever
substance).


Without substance change is not possible. Coextensive with this principle is: change owes itself
to a lack of determination, to a deficit of Being, to negation. From which it at once follows that
substance, rather than being the seat of being, of thinghood, as common sense conceives it to be, it
owes its existence, to the contrary, to a lack of being. It is not possible for a determinate thing to
be made up out of substance insofar as this thing possesses determination.


It is easy enough to see that continuity is required for the subsistence of what is called historical
time which we will henceforth refer to as temporality. Indeterminate substance is the only basis
for the continuity underlying all change.



The science of Physics, at least before the development of relativistic quantum field theory, in the
1940's, imagined that there might be such things as ultimate material constituents - elementary
particles - out of which all material bodies would be composed. The implicit Metaphysics behind
the notion of elementary particles is that of substance.


There is no such thing as nothing. Nothing, by its very nature, is a nonexistent entity: it is its
own negation. We might be tempted to say then that "something," being the opposite of nothing,
must exist. But not just any "something" constitutes the opposite or negation of
nothing/nothingness, but only a something which is, itself, the unity of all that might possibly
exist, and the very essence of which is to exist. In other words, nothing, not being possible
because containing within itself its own negation, implies that there must have always been
something (or other). But the only guarantee that there has always been something is the
existence of something which contains within itself its own affirmation, if you will, the reason for
its own existence. A fundamental and most general property of a thing which contains within
itself the reason for its own existence is that of recursion, something which is defined solely in
terms of itself, a recursive structure. There are logical grounds for believing that there can be only
one recursive structure, that there can be only one self-existent entity - with this entity being the
"ground" for existence of all other entities. A recursive structure, if it may be thought to be
composite, would be composed of parts which are totally interdependent upon one another; no part
is the cause of any other without also being itself caused by this other part and so if this recursive
structure had a beginning in time, it must have been given existence through a pre-existing,
broader and more complex recursive structure. We see now that a given finite recursive structure
comes into existence through a process of uncovering or abstraction from a more complex whole -
through a process of negation. We are reminded of Michelangelo's claim that a truly great work
of sculpture already exists within its marble block and that all he did in order to produce his
works was merely to free them from the marble in which they were imprisoned.
All simpler recursive structures come into being through a kind of figure-ground transformation,
through a change in perspective. This reminds us of Leibniz' monads, each of which are only
different perspectives on an eternally pre-existent whole, with each monad defined in terms of, or
dependent upon, all of the other monads making up the whole. This exhaustive interdependence
is what Leibniz refers to as the preestablished harmony between monads. Again, a recursion may
only be defined in terms of other recursions like itself. Consciousness is an example of an
inherently recursive structure as it is its own symbolic representation ( of itself to itself).
Consciousness' objectivity is exactly coextensive with its subjectivity; this is simply a
restatement of Bishop Berkeleys principle, esse est percipi, i.e., to be is to be perceived, and as
consciousness necessarily experiences itself as a unity and never as a multiplicity - the objective
reality of any multiplicity of consciousness' could only exist as a subjective reality within a larger
individual consciousness (itself a unity) and so cannot really be a multiplicity of consciousnesses
at all. This argument against the multiplicity of consciousness was succinctly stated by the
physicist Erwin Schrodinger in his short seminal work, Mind and Matter. It follows that since
consciousness cannot experience itself as a multiplicity, it therefore cannot exist objectively as a
multiplicity: consequently there can only be one consciousness.
Both the American psychologist William James as well the French philosopher Henri Bergson
did not believe that the brain was itself productive of consciousness but that the brain was merely a
kind of reducing valve (Bergson) which filtered and reduced down the cosmic consciousness
(James) to a vastly simpler form containing roughly the level of information handling capacity
(intelligence) which the human organism would need to adapt to the limited challenges of an
earthly environment. In fact, if we view the brain as being productive of consciousness rather
than as merely structuring a pre-existing consciousness, then there seems no compelling reason to
believe in a so-called infinite consciousness. However, if the brain is viewed as not productive of
thougt, but as merely providing a complex set of constraining boundary conditions upon some
pre-existent conscoiusness field, equated, say, with the quantum vacuum energy fiedl, then the
case for a universal infinite consciousness does become rather compelling. The novelist and
author of Brave New World (1932), Aldous Huxley, discussed this view of consciousness in his
popular treatise, The Doors of Perception - Heaven and Hell. In this work Huxley describes the
effects of the psychoactive (psychedelic) drugs mescaline and LSD which he experimented with
towards the latter part of his life in an attempt to trigger or facilitate the mystical experience of
enlightenment in which he had had an almost lifelong curiosity. Huxley explained the effects of
these substances in terms of the James-Bergson theory of consciousness: the experience of
self-transcendence and transfiguration which Huxley experienced on mescaline was for him due to
the drug's disabling effect upon the cosmic reducing valve. The brain under the influence of
mescaline is no longer able to filter out the thoughts and intuitions irrelevant to earthly life
(because appropriate to the upwardly contiguous levels of consciousness) - hence the experience
of a vastly larger mental space. This type of explanation would have been readily understandable
to the ancient Greek philosopher Socrates who viewed learning (through experience or education)
as simply a mechanism by which latent knowledge is recollected.
The theory of entropic processes tells us that energy and information are interdefinable and this
fact in conjunction with the principle of energy conservation suggests that information, like
energy, may neither be created nor destroyed: the "creation" of a quantity of information is really
constituted by its being abstracted from the preexisting integral system of information defining it.
Like a piece broken off from a holographic emulsion, there is a necessary trade - off involved in
this abstraction process: the "newly created" entity only acquires a relative independence from
the whole in which it eternally preexisted (and which defined its true being) by losing some of its
knowledge of itself. There is a direct analogy with this process in the creation of "new"
subatomic particles through the collision of particles within a linear accelerator.
In the first couple of decades after the first "atom - smashing" experiments performed with the
primitive particle accelerators of the 1930's, it had been supposed that the particle products of these
violent collisions were actually pieces of the colliding particles which had been jarred loose by the
sudden impulsive force of their slamming together. But soon after this early period the kinetic
energies of the particles going into these accelerator collisions began to significantly exceed the
combined mass - energy of the particles which themselves initiated the reaction, with the result
that the end product of these collisions was a set of particles with individual member particles
possessing a mass greater than the combined mass of the particles originally participating in the
collision. The common sense "broken pieces" explanation of accelerator products now had to
be modified in some way or rejected outright. Two alternative interpretations of this "mass
paradox" were suggested by particle theorists: either the product particles were created from the
excitation of the vacuum by the kinetic energy of the collision with the "input" particles serving as
the points of application of the excitation energy, or they were really inside the initial particles all
along but the excess mass - energy was being exactly balanced by an equal and opposite negative
energy due to the internal binding forces holding the particles together.


Thanks for the response. An energy eigenstate is an abstraction in the sense that only a closed
system can be in an energy eigenstate, but thermodynamically this is not possible because of the
fact that vacuum fluctuations in momentum-energy cannot be screened (kinda like gravity).
Some modes can be screened of course and the Casimir Effect is an example of this. But in this
case only momentum fluctuations, virtual photons, are being suppressed here. Virtual
electron/positron pairs are not suppressed, in fact, the probability of the creation/annihilation of
these pairs is actually enhanced between the Casimir plates. We may think of virtual
fermion/antifermion creation-annihilation events as energy fluctuations, collectively of spin 0 and
the photon creation-annihilations as momentum fluctuations of spin 1. Together, the spin 0
energy fluctuations and the spin 1 momentum fluctuations may be considered to be a fluctuating
momentum-energy four vector of expectation value for T(i,k) (momentum-energy tensor) = 0 and
this is part of the reason that the vacuum does not gravitate, I believe. Getting back to the main
point, as long as there is a fluctuation component to the Hamiltonian, which cannot be completely
removed through supplied boundary conditions, the system will never exist in a true energy
eigenstate and will be forced to temporally evolve due to the exchange of momentum energy
between the system and its fluctuation Hamiltonian (the vacuum fluctuations). (April 2011
addition: reevaluate the above in terms of experimental investigations of the Scharnhorst effect)

I see two electrical cords coming into my computer. One of these is the power cord and the other
is the data cord. We may think of the first cord as a conduit of the substance of what is simulated
on the screen of my computer and the second, of the form which this substance shall be induced to
assume at any given time. Data versus information: passive versus active channeling of the

Do nonlocally connected observables commute? (
April 2011
If they are compatible observables,
otherwise, not) What about spacelike separated ones? (
April 2011
Yes, unless they are nonlocally
connected)
An adiabatic change in a thermal system is one in which there is no exchange of heat (energy,
really) between the system and its outside. Now on account of exchanges of energy continually
taking place between the system and the quantum vacuum, no thermal (or quantum mechanical,
for that matter) system can really undergo changes without some exchange of energy with the
systems outside. But cannot a large component of quantum vacuum energy fluctuations
interacting with such a system be just that necessary to reconstitute the system from one moment to
the next? How can those quantities of energy be understood to alter the net entropy of the
system? Is the system entropy changed, then, by just those fluctuations of vacuum energy that
are coupled to the internal exchanges of 3-momentum within the system responsible for the
systems binding together of itself, and hence, also of its inertia (gravitation)? There are two
distinctly different possible bases for novelty. These are: changes in vacuum energy
interacting with a quantum system, which cannot be anticipated by the system and, changes in the
state of the system, in terms of its internal energies, which cannot be anticipated by the vacuum
itself. Interactions taking place internally to the system fail to be anticipated by a given vacuum
(heretofore referred to as the vacuum) on account of these interactions being mediated via an
altogether different vacuum state, unbeknownst to the first vacuum state. This amounts to a
more general statement of the problem of wavefunction collapse being triggered by unanticipated
internal interactions of a quantum system one which subsumes the distinction, heretofore noted,
that between interactions of the vacuum not anticipated by a system and interactions of the system
not anticipated by the vacuum, both of which, perhaps, then, turn out to be different though
equivalent interpretations of the mechanism of wavefunction collapse.
April
2011 Partial
differential equations forcing function has equivalence in terms of time-varying boundary
conditions and absent forcing function? An adiabatic interaction with a quantum mechanical
system does not change the wavefunction, but may result in the system making a transition
between energy eigenstates.
A closed system is one in which what takes place within the system is not and cannot be
communicated to consciousness. Is there a distinction here, that between what, in fact, is
versus what may only potentially be, communicated to a state of consciousness?
These kinds of considerations might help to clarify the connections between the quantum
wavefunction, as representing the most that can be possibly known (information/consciousness)
about the state of the system it describes, and gravitation, wherein, it has been stated on various
sides, that either gravitation or consciousness or both are relevant to the underlying mechanism of
wavefunction collapse, itself understood to be a nondeterministic phenomenon. Here the
binding problem of consciousness, nonlocality and the fact of the general relativistic nonlocality
of gravitational energy (which must be described within this theory by a pseudotensor rather than
by a bona fide tensor, may be found to possess a close connection to one another while at the same
time a description of the complex structure of the relationship of information to entropy supplants
the heretofore simplistic understanding of this relationship as being one of mere dual opposition.
Implicate Order as a bed of quantum degeneracy. Nonlocality~correlations~energy fluctuations.
Locality~causality~momentum fluctuations.

Certainly quantum theory allows that the manner in which the subatomic particles shall interact
with one another during a random collision (mutual scattering) must be significantly different if
this event occurs under the watchful eye of some physicist armed with a high-resolution electron
force microscope.

Might nonlocal interactions be partly explicable in terms of a latent >c velocity of propagation.
In the case of the rapidly separating components of the decayed particle, the state of each
component may be overdetermined. The extra information (about the state of the opposite
particle) may be comoving with each component by each particles local vacuum state.

But in the case of both component particle and comoving vacuum state propagating at the speed of
light, there would seem to be no room for interaction between each component particle and its
locally comoving vacuum state.
April 2011
This is reminiscent of the problem of symmetry breaking
for psychophysical dualism.

Cosmologically, the direction of time was consistent with the direction in which the rate of
decrease of the (matter + vacuum) energy density and the rate of entropy increase were maximal.
This direction would be described by a vector within Euclidean 4-space and the manner of
cosmological decomposition of this 4-space into a 3+1 dimensional spacetime would have been
determined by the global, cosmic distribution of momentum-energy. The coupling of the
dynamics of space to time (and vice versa) must, of course, be mediated by the nondiagonal
elements of the stress-momentum-energy tensor, T
uv
.

Fluctuations in energy of a system due to Heisenberg energy uncertainty introduces discontinuity
into the system, i.e., change in the systems topology. The less the system interacts with vacuum
energy fluctuations, the greater is the systems inertia.

All of these distinctions of beings, past vs. present vs. future vs. potential
(potential-in-in-the-past, -future, -present), across uni-verses, within universes, and all of
this within consciousness that is still to be distinguished from beings outside consciousness,
paradoxically, all of these distinctions of different types may be unified by admitting the reality of
only one concourse of transcendental otherness populated by an infinite number of infinite
beings (with perhaps an infinite majority subset of which abstaining from self-limitation).

Virtual momentum and energy imply the existence of virtual space and virtual time (through the
Heisenberg uncertainty relation. Virtual stress implies the coupling of virtual space to virtual
time. But independent fluctuations in vacuum stress must become correlated in order for these
fluctuations to grow (relative to a background) and stabilize at elevated levels, i.e., real stress
possessing a net spacetime curvature.
April 2011
This looks like the quantum entanglement basis of
induced gravity.
It appears that an initial seed compliment or quantity of real stress energy must be supplied
before the global spacetime boundary conditions can be favorable for the production of real
stress-momentum-energy. To have a net spacetime curvature, flat or otherwise (positive,
negative or some complex, periodic or aperiodic, structuring of positive and negative curvatures),
momentum and energy have to be initially coupled. Of course, once a global spacetime
structure is already in place, the coupling of momentum and energy within this continuum or on
this manifold is a given. This is because gravitational waves (or gravitons as spin-2 exchange
particles) presuppose such a coupling of space and time (through the coupling of momentum to
energy).
The second law of thermodynamics states that all matter and energy tend toward a maximally
entropic state. If we were to interpret entropy as the complement of information, then the
increase of entropy of a closed system would mean that information was flowing out of a closed
system! Based on arguments supplied elsewhere, a closed system does not possess temporality,
but time is spatialized within such a system.
Discuss the relationships between Penroses argument in favor of a gravitational basis for
decoherence (as well as for wavefunction collapse due to measurements performed by a conscious
observer) and the necessity of the breaching of a closed quantum mechanical system, i.e.,
superposition state, producing state vector reduction. A relevant consideration here is our earlier
discussions of information being a (perhaps necessary) artifact of an open system, an eigenstate of
the Hamiltonian being a state of a system with zero energy uncertainty where the coupling of the
system to the quantum vacuum (understood as the systems ground of possible change, including
both growth and decay). But then we are left with the notion of entropy increasing through
information leaving an open system. But then also, how can entropy be the complement of
information within an open system? The notion of somethings being the compliment of
something else presupposes another notion of a closed set that can be partitioned into two disjoint
subsets, e.g., X entropy + X information = 0 entropy and 0 information. If there is a residue of
entropy or information within the system (and we still wish to term the system causally closed,
then this residue should be nonlocal, and it should be present in the form of quantum mechanical,
nonlocal correlations.
Also, we are faced with the notion of information flowing out of an open system to some where
outside. Now two or more closed systems exchanging momentum and energy with one another
implies the existence of a background spacetime (which must possess some kind of curvature
structure so that in reality these two systems must also be exchanging some small component of
stress and the momentum and energy exchanged between them must be partially (if only
infinitesimally) coupled. In turn each system itself must possess coupling together of its own
local momentum and energy.
There is by the way potential relevance of the speed of gravity controversy here. Two truly
isolated systems would only be able to exchange nonlocal correlations with one another.

Nonadiabatic changes in boundary conditions cause increase in system entropy.

It seems probable that somehow the two distinctly quantum phenomena of wavefunction
collapse and nonlocality (in the form of the determination, instantaneously and at a distance, of
the eigenstate of a quantum mechanical system) reflect opposite tendencies of the vacuum to act
(in determining a quantum state) in which the vacuum either has or has not, respectively, adequate
time to have prepared itself for such an act of determination.

Nonlocality may be explained in terms of the fact that both, widely separated components of a
decayed particle, for example, are perceived simultaneously by this same vacuum. And
although the quantum state of either, if determined individually, without knowledge of the
uncertain state of the other particle, must collapse to produce a randomly determined eigenstate,
information nonetheless
exists between the structured uncertainties of each particle of this pair in the form of a correlation
of two random signals.

We may look at causality as not just a propagation of momentum, stress, and energy along
trajectories through space, but also as propagation in the sense of causal influences doing so
through the progressive enlisting of one another to form structures of ever easier delectability, that
is, as propagation upward from smaller to larger, through continua of spatiotemporal scale.

Since the action of every operator, ^q, is reducible to the actions of ^a
+
and ^a, then certainly the
quantum statistics of the quantum states upon which ^a
+
and ^a act are to be investigated as the
likely underpinning of the dynamics of all quantum mechanical systems.

What is the relationship, if any, between the mechanism (perhaps this term is a fundamental
misnomer, since normalization is always assumed) of late time normalization and the role of
consciousness in the quantum measurement problem.

Can an extremely dense body, e.g., neutron star, be a black hole in some reference frames but not
in others? If not, then would this constitute a counterexample to Einsteins equivalence

Cellular automata theory can, of course, be recast in terms of conservation of some large, but
nonetheless finite, signal bandwidth. Rent's rule pertains to the organization of computing logic,
specifically the relationship between the number of external signal connections to a logic block
(i.e., the number of "pins") with the number of logic gates in the logic block, and has been applied
to circuits ranging from small digital circuits to mainframe computers, c.f.,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rent%27s_Rule

Time uncertainty necessarily includes fluctuations in the direction of time due to the simultaneous
presence of momentum fluctuations. Just as the external input of energy can make a virtual
particle real so can an input of energy make an alternate time axis real. /\t/\E >= h takes into
account the possibility of energy degeneracy. A similar statement applies to the equation, /\x/\p
>= h.

Perhaps the energy uncertainty, /\E, can be broken into two pseudo-orthogonal components, a
degenerate and a non-degenerate component, each with their respective conjugate time variables.

Do disturbances to the potential energy structure, i.e., the structural relationships of local energy
minima, have to be treated as late time (ad hoc) adjustments to the system initial conditions?

The degeneracy space is not spanned by basis vectors associated with thermodynamic degrees of
freedom.

Superlattice of quantum wells model of competing tunneling resonance phenomena.

Myriad, interpenetrating 4-vacuum which are to varying degrees in and out of resonance with one
another. Each possesses a timeless temporality that only takes on the ordinary attributes of time
( as historical time) through its resonance and interaction with other
4-vacua.uiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

The speed of light increases between casimir plates due to an increase in the probability rate of
production of virtual e+e- pairs between the plates. The e+e- virtual pair creation/annihilation
events are how the energy uncertainty between the plates in the modified vacuum manifests itself
as energy fluctuations. So the decrease in momentum fluctuations, virtual photon exchanges
between the plates, is offset by a corresponding increase in energy fluctuations between the plates
in the form of virtual scalar particle exchanges between the modified vacuum and the four
dimensional quantum vacuum.

The substance of any given relative 3 + 1 vacuum state is an absolute 4-vacuum. These two
vacua continually exchange energy with one another.


The linear density of virtual e+e- virtual pairs is increased although photon wavelengths are
unchanged, resulting in higher frequency and same wavelength, i.e., a greater value of c. This
is explained by a greater probability rate for energy-compatible (or what is called resonant)
virtual e+e- virtual pairs being created and annihilated along the photons trajectory between the
Casimir plates. The concept of


resonance is pervasive within physics and there are myriad instances of concept of resonance in
almost all branches of physics.

In the above paragraph we have an example of resonance-tuning. By altering the
electromagnetic boundary conditions of the quantum vacuum electromagnetic field through the
use of simple Casimir rectangular plates, one has succeeded in modifying the free space vacuum
by altering this vacuums resonance structure. Alternately, virtual photons of a given
energy/frequency within this modified quantum vacuum are no longer described by a virtual e+e-
pairs of energy, E = hc / lambda or, no longer resonate with virtual e+e-s of energy, hc/lambda.
We speculate that the change introduced to the vacuums resonance spectrum is confined to the
volume contained within the world hypervolume defined by the casimir plate geometry over time.
If this is indeed the case, then the change to the probability rate of virtual e+e- pairs being created
and annihilated within the geometry of the casimir plates is only for those pairs possessing
half-wavelength smaller than the plates separation. Here is the conceptual difficulty:
although the density of vacuum electromagnetic photons within the plates geometry has been
effectively decreased, the density of vacuum e+e- pairs being created and annihilated within this
same geometry is increased. The idea behind these two allegedly related vacuum effects is that
of the conservation of momentum-energy or 4-momentum density with all possible
(self-consistent) hypervolumes. A simplistic way to understand this phenomenon where the
above casimir geometry is concerned, which is not, I believe, fundamentally misguided, is the
following. The amount of energy (in the form of photons) that has been excluded from the
casimir plate geometry is made up for by an exactly offsetting increase in the density of virtual
photons of energies falling within the frequency spectrum, hc/lambda, where lambda < 2 x
distance between the plates, d
casimir.
E <> hc/

So in a given interval of time, say, for convenience here, d
casimir
/c, where c is the normal value of
the speed of light in vacuo, the linear probability density of virtual e+e- creation/annihilation
events along an axis perpendicular to the plates and contained well within the geometry described
by said plates (in order to be able to ignore electromagnetic fringe effects) is enhanced above its
free space value. So a real photon introduced from one end of the plate geometry with
momentum, h/, directed perpendicular to the plates and possessing a frequency greater than hc/
where, again, is less than twice the value of d
casimir
, shall, on account of the enhanced linear
density of resonant e+e- virtual pairs created and annihilated along the photons perpendicular
path, reach the metal plate at the opposite end of the casimir geometry sooner than would have
been implied by the simple equation, E= pc. This equation is, in fact, no longer valid within the
modified vacuum of the volume described by the casimir plate geometry. But some equation
reminiscent of E
2
= m

c

+ p

. Only by introducing an imaginary mass component to the
photon that is sufficiently, offsettingly large may the simultaneous increase (above that of c in
vacuo) is permitted for the real photons velocity perpendicular to the casimir plates. Now it is
suggested that performing a modification to the vacuums resonant structure opposite in sense to
that described above, we shall succeed in imbuing the affected particle (that confined to the
vacuum thus modified) with a real as opposed to imaginary mass!

What symmetry is implied by the conservation of uncertainty - phase space graininess, perhaps?

The kernel of a thought can travel from one mind to another at a velocity which is effectively faster
than light, but the time taken for this kernel to develop into actionable thought would be tied to an
implied observance of the above speed being effectively c.

Decoherence of quantum states through entanglement interpreted as observation by the universal
consciousness field. Why clones may not become fully conscious and fully in possession of a

Any interference with the vacuum within spacetime, which exceeds in the energy of its imparted
impulse, Penroses one graviton limit, cannot be transmitted through (and perhaps ultimately
absorbed by) this vacuum exclusively via nonlocal, virtual particle and field interactions. Here
we might describe such an interaction with the vacuum as exceeding maximum energy uncertainty
supportable free of momentum exchanges between multiple components, i.e., the energy
fluctuation of spacetime has exceeded the threshold of energy at which the quantum vacuum can
manifest fluctuations of its momentum-energy as pure energy, as opposed to a mixture of energy
and momentum fluctuations. Is this an example of time symmetry breaking and the loss of
energy degeneracy through having exceeded the largest quantity of non-measurable energy?
The necessity for energy fluctuations in the vacuum, exceeding the one graviton threshold, to
manifest themselves as a collection of particles and fields. It is at or just beyond this energy
threshold that the energy of the fluctuation must fragment into elements or structures forming a
composite maintained by a sustained mutual interaction of the components- with this composite
structure having necessarily now become embedded within spacetime as one of its really
existing (as opposed to merely virtual) objects.

It is only through the interference of wavefunction, either self or mutual interference, that the
wavefunction takes on a physical meaning in terms of the probability of a physical, spacetime
phenomena. Within quantum theory temporality manifests itself in two seemingly
fundamentally distinct manners, deterministically through the evolution of the time dependent
Schrodinger wave equation, non-deterministically via the discontinuous reduction of the state
vector as a result of quantum measurement. The relativistic effects of Einsteins special and
general theories (of relativity) do not appear to make any such distinction of varieties of time.

Only if the circuit elements of an artificial intelligence device are sensitive enough to a circle
spectrum of energy fluctuations in the quantum vacuum, as well as these elements being
adequately sensitive in their mutual interaction via the changing currents and fields sustained
within the devices circuitry, will an adequately responsive feedback obtain between this device
and the embedding quantum vacuum that will enable the vacuum (or some spectrum of quantum
fluctuations within it) to utilize the device circuitry to bringing about coherent and robust
changes to the boundary conditions upon the vacuums self-interaction.

Quantum
entanglement provides the underlying mechanism for temporal feedback. Temporal feedback of
this type exploits the degrees of freedom (quantum vacuum electromagnetic field
fluctuation-correlation structure) normally hidden from intersubjective awareness, i.e.,
measurement. So processes with energies smaller than the Heisenberg energy uncertainty of the
system embedding these processes constitute an infrastructure supporting the engendering of
quantum entanglements, as well as the reprocessing of quantum entanglements into causal sets of
correlated quantum fluctuations. Although the wavefunction of a solitary system cannot be
determined, this wavefunction may nonetheless possess causal efficacy, which might seem to
support Bohms hidden variable hypothesis, but not necessarily so because on this view causal
relationships have a fluctuation-correlation substructure that is broader than any set of correlated
fluctuations that may formally represent a causal relationship.

Similar remark to that following are to be found elsewhere. Another way of looking at the
interaction of the subjective state of the observer with the observed measured quantum state, which
is responsible for state vector reduction, is that of the copresence of the newly observed system
(upon observation) with everything else which the observer has in the concurrent state of
awareness as constituting the irreversible entanglement of the newly observed systems state with
those of the other objects within the observers immediate environment. This would help to
unify the two heretofore distinctly understood mechanisms of state vector reduction that of
observation by a conscious observer with the mechanism of state function decoherence via
irreversible environmental entanglement. Here the consciousness of the observer performing a
quantum measurement simply plays the role of irreversibly connecting link between the isolated
quantum system and the outside physical environment. Another possible interpretation might be
that of the individual consciousness of the quantum mechanical observer somehow alerting the
universal consciousness field (UCF) of the presence of the particular system observed. The
idea here is that the UCF notices the quantum state of various systems where no human observer is
present, if such systems are not small enough or, if large, not isolated enough to escape its
notice.

The actions of the human observer, say, in the laboratory, of utilizing measurement apparatus to
either amplify the effect (upon the observer) of the states of systems otherwise too miniscule or, to
breach the heretofore isolation of these systems from the world at large. These actions render
the states of systems known to a human observer and, hence, to the UCF or to consciousness at
large. The possible importance of a hypothesized UCF is particularly implicated in those in
which the mere fact that a quantum measurement could have been performed upon the system
observable proves enough to cause state vector reduction.

That which is responsible for sustaining the existence of all things would not itself possess a
sustained existence. The above statement points up the fundamental distinction of the real
versus the virtual. As perhaps alluded to above, the real is nothing more than a distinction within
the virtual. In the formation of bound energy structures, e.g., atoms, molecules, etc., the
application of focused, undifferentiated energy alone to the quantum vacuum is less than adequate
and some mutual interaction of locally available (real) particles is additionally necessary for such
bound structures to form, in other words, differentiated energy must be available.


(1)

Important here is the positional uncertainty of these momentum fluctuations.
(2)

Relative to the photon, all of the changes occurring during its movement between two (distinct points) take place instantaneously.


Travelling waves obeying the Schrodinger Wave Equation can always be represented as a
superposition of standing waves within a closed spacetime manifold in which time is like, although
not identical to, an extra dimension of space. When energy is conserved, the system
Hamiltonian operator must be able to be diagonalized. There must be a reference frame in which
the system is in an eigenstate of the Hamiltonian.

The masslessness of light is connected to the fact that it is a chain of momentum fluctuations in the
quantum vacuum relative to which no uniform motion can take place in the direction parallel to the
momentum of these fluctuations
1
. These fluctuations of which light is composed possess 0
energy uncertainty and hence, infinite time uncertainty. (this proposition needs to be reexamined
more carefully) That is, relative to the vantage point of a photon, nothing takes place, i.e.,
energy does not fluctuate (no energy enters the hypersurface of simultaneity defined by the
photons instantaneous reference frame?), anywhere in the Universe during the photons flight.

The degenerate evolution of a quantum systems wavefunction does not require any change in the
systems total energy and so interactions with such energy degenerate system by a non-physical
agency would not violate conservation of energy. This goes also for changes in the kinetic and
potential energies of the system separately when combined do not result in a change to the
systems Hamiltonian.

Resonances (as Platonic forms) are dependent on the structure of boundary conditions, which are
contingent and unforeseeable in their effects. An example of this is the superfluidity of
Helium-4 produced and observed for the first time ever in a cryogenics laboratory!

The fringe effects represented by the Gibbs phenomenon of Fourier analysis as applied to
quantum probability amplitudes represents the dynamical (and creative) interface between all
(would-be) isolated quantum mechanical systems and the creative ground in which they find
themselves embedded, and out of which they are necessarily (partially) constituted.

Fringe effects are unavoidable within any artificial construct. This is the dual ,
onto-epistemological principle of the boundary (conditions) never becoming the master of the
dynamic and substantive processes never being fully explicable in terms of relations on the set of
their possible (epi)phenomena. (Gibbs phenomenon as applied to probability amplitudes and
quantum tunneling bears some consideration here)

How does the distinction, real versus virtual, relate to the nature of superposition? Also, how is
the phenomenon of Bose condensation related to superposition? Are viral memes exchanged
between people? How is symmetry and degeneracy related?

The interaction of two or more open systems would not merely be exchanging energy since energy
is only property defined as such if it is a conserved quantity. There could be no time translation
symmetry in such an interaction and some something altogether new must come out of this so that
we then speak of the systems rather than energy. The 2
nd
Law of thermodynamics does not
encompass nonlocally connected systems.

In a closed, dynamic system a quantity has it particular character as conserved substance by virtue
of boundary conditions and topology. Such is not the case for quantities occupying an
open-ended system.


The resonant modes of vacuum field oscillation to which a crystal may be tuned are simply those
defined by the frequencies for allowed transitions between crystalline energy levels.

What is the function (meaning) of less than perfectly stable modes of excitation and resonance?


The DeBroglie spacetime wavenumber may be aptly understood as the localized bandwidth for the
access of a dynamic system to the quantum vacuum CPU.

Mutual interference of wavefunctions (or of eigenfunctions) does not constitute a bona fide
interaction between the state functions in the absence of nonlocal connections obtaining
between the functions.

A function that back reacts, in the course of its (temporal) evolution (what are we to make of the
notion of the spatial evolution of a wavefunction?), upon one or more of its independent
variables, or whose independent variables act and react upon each other without merely being
functions of each other, e.g., where the initially stated set of independent variables proves to be
reducible to some smaller set, must be a nonlinear function (of a set of variables).

Do nonlocal connections in the form of advanced wave solution components of particle or field
propagators create a kind of backward in time feedback which is responsible for exchange
resonances displayed by, e.g., fields never before in direct or indirect mutual contact?

De Broglie waves for a translating particle have both energy (timelike) and momentum (spacelike)
components, or, alternatively, particle-like and wavelike components, respectively. A particles
DeBroglie frequency, if you will, is maximal when the particle is at rest. Upon translation,
some of the particles rest frequency shows up as DeBroglie wavenumber.


This constitutes quantum-based special relativistic effects for the individual particle. But if
DeBroglie frequency and wavenumber are understood after the fashion of the unified quantity of
momentum-energy, then we may speak of the DeBroglie spacetime wavenumber of composite
matter as being a sort of conserved fluid.


Propagation speeds of greater than c are possible so long as the velocity of light in vacuo is not
exceeded during the necessary phases of preparation of experimental apparatus at both ends (and
everywhere in between) of the path of the, e.g., particle, field, or disturbance, etc. in question.

If a supraliminal message is received, the time that must be taken to decrypt or decipher the
message must be greater than t = d/c, where d is the distance between transmitter and receiver,
and c is the speed of light.

This suggests an objective relationship between encryption hardness and entropy (or,
conversely) information content of the transmitted script. Time . . . flowing like a river. . .
Of course, if time is to be properly likened to a (conserved) fluid, then certainly the appearance of
vortices within the linear flow of this fluid corresponds to an equal and opposite reduction in the
linear current density of the fluid.



There is a shifting back and forth of current density between its linear and vorticular components,
however, the overall current density of the system is conserved. Of course, the fluid is under
acceleration within its vorticular component, but no work is performed by this component of the
fluid if the pressures and stresses within the fluid are orthogonal to the vortices of the fluid.

Is any energy dissipated by the vacuum in the mere sustaining of stable matter that is not currently
undergoing any reactions, e.g., chemical, nuclear, etc.? Energy is dissipated by the quantum
vacuum when a mass is accelerated. Is this energy dissipated because the vacuum must be
continually updated on the current state of motion of the mass? What about in the case of
gravitating masses? As the Schrodinger equation dictates the temporal (and spatial) evolution of
a quantum systems wavefunction, e.g., that of an accelerated particle, bound structure composed
of multiple particles and fields, etc., any change in the momentum-energy of some quantum
mechanical system introduced from outside the scope of the system wavefunction, must induce a
collapse of this wavefunction, as well as suddenly alter the uncertainties of both conserved and
nonconserved system observables. So in each set of incompatible, conjugate observables, the
action of measurement, environmental entanglement, or acceleration introduces either a
decoherence of reduction of the state vector, resulting in an increase in the Heisenberg
uncertainties of each of one set of observables along with a corresponding decrease in these
uncertainties with respect to the set of conjugate observables of the system. So it appears that
information must be taken up by the system as a result of a change in the system wavefunction.
So differences between distinct system wavefunctions may be thought to contain information,
whereas a single, isolated wavefunction, not correlated or otherwise entangled with other systems,
may not be supposed to possess information in an absolute sense. In other words, only relative
differences between wavefunctions possesses information content.


Locality and causality are merely abstract features of he physical world. How can form sustain
itself in the absence of boundary conditions upon the dynamic.

Standing wave structures possess boundary conditions at both ends (one dimensional case) while
travelling waves only have one initial condition. Is relativistic (spacetime) symmetry violated
here?

Energy uncertainty without the necessity of vacuum fluctuations superposition within a closed
system. So here we have two types of fluctuation: that which is only definitional, i.e.,
fluctuations within a closed system, and the other which is inherently unpredictable, i.e., not part
of any system behavior. So we may make the distinction of these two fundamental types of
fluctuation thus: fluctuations that are real versus virtual perturbations. Temporality cannot
subsist in virtual perturbations real fluctuations must be present.

Is some kind of degeneracy and symmetry involved in the overdetermination of ones
interpretation of ones own mental states? Causal connections as interpretations of correlations
and causal entities as beds of correlation.

The basis for the radical overdetermination of nature is the fact of its origin being an infinitely
symmetric state. This infinite symmetric initial state was partially broken in the moment of
creation. Therefore all of the symmetries observed in nature are partial ones described by
subgroups of some original symmetry group.

Strangeness of infinite sets: cultural polarization field, pattern recognition, and enhancement of
patterns and metaphysical presence. Mentor-protg relationship for all members of a set of
student/teachers without entangling of levels. Recursiveness only causes entangling of levels
of description in a finite field of elements.


Now a given mass, accelerated to a velocity approaching that of light cannot so closely approach
this delimiting value so as to become more massive than its own black hole mass. And the black
hole mass is determined by the density of the mass having reached the delimiting value of the
vacuum energy density/c
2
for the particular volume occupied by the accelerating mass. Also,
we know that the acceleration of the mass is just the 90
o
spacetime rotation of the mass original,
purely timelike velocity.

In this way the limiting velocity to which a given mass may be accelerated is a function of the
energy density of the vacuum occupied by the accelerating mass. So we see now that the
original, purely timelike four velocity of the mass (prior to acceleration) is itself a function of the
density of the mass relative to the density of the vacuum energy coextensive with the mass
displaced volume. But if the acceleration to light velocity is actually to be effected, the mass
must utilize its own mass energy as the fuel for propelling itself such that, upon actually
approaching c, all of its starting mass has already been converted to photon (or other massless
particle) energy. The fact that some of this fuel must come from the binding energy of the mass
rather than from the positive mass energy itself suggests that the mass when a at rest already
possesses a small quantity of spacelike momentum connected with dynamical processes within the
mass responsible for the existence of this binding energy.


A theoretical group describes a closed set of reversible operations with the elements of the group.
What is closed is the set composed of the distinct operations; the number of distinct elements,
which composes the domain, which the operations of the group take as inputs, may itself be
infinite. When the symmetry of the group is broken, the operations of the group are altered
and perhaps also new operations added, which no longer are reversible, singly or collectively.
The discovery of a new mathematical group for the description of some physical phenomenon
means that various manifestations of physical variables, heretofore treated as distinct, are now
seen to be differing manifestations of the same, underlying entity/physical quantity.

Changes in state to some subpart of a closed dynamic system which are wholly attributable to
other, earlier changes in neighboring subparts of the overarching system constitute ceteris paribus
reversible, symmetric interactions. However, the reactions triggered by these interactions may
not be themselves symmetric and time-reversible. Any asymmetries of the systems changes of
state are ultimately traceable to input to the system wholly from outside it. The sense of
outside intended here, one in which the system as a whole is not secretly a subpart of some
overarching system, with perturbations to its outside transmitted to it and mediated by the
overarching systems matrix and originating within some other subpart of the crypto-overarching
system. What we are really saying here is that asymmetrical interactions always are ultimately
between the uppermost overarching system and its outside. Of course, the uppermost
overarching system in almost any physical setting is just the global spacetime continuum itself in
which this system is embedded.


Infinite degeneracy would mean that the wavefunction of the degenerate system could undergo
transition between an infinite number of eigenstates on a continuous spectrum without measurable
changes resulting to any of its quantum observables.

Should Psi be understood as a knowledge representation rather than the most that can actually be
known about the system?

Since no energy is required to effect changes in the systems quantum state from one to another of
its energy degenerate eigenstates, free will and conscious thought may presuppose energy
degeneracy. Also, there is not basis for assigning scales of physical time to energy-degenerate
quantum transitions.

Infinite symmetry may be understood as infinite sameness in which, no matter where the observer
is and no matter what happens, no objective differences between here and there and no changes
from now to then are in any sense evident. Now such a state of infinite symmetry in the absence
of degeneracy (with respect to some set of as yet unmanifest parameters) is synonymous with an
empty void or nothingness. Moreover, for there to exist a state of infinite symmetry, an infinite
degeneracy must be present, that is, degeneracy with respect to an infinite number of distinct
though still unmanifest parameters. But all this is to presume that there is some presently
obtaining state, which represents physical reality (as a whole, in some sense) but which is both
underpinned by and insulated against an infinitely chaotic flux of change to an infinite number of
still unmanifest proto-physical variables (proto-observables?). A tremendous quantity of
entropy is released as a result of the breaking of this state of infinite symmetry (one might suppose
an infinite quantity for this entropy) so that the aboriginal state of infinite symmetry is to be
understood as possessing infinite order. The breaking of this infinitely symmetric, initial state
results in a kind of unpacking of this state into an intricate, dynamic structure/continuum of
ordered and disordered energy, i.e., some of the symmetry (order) of the initial state survives the
transition to the broken, symmetric state and the remainder is lost. But a perfectly and
infinitely symmetric state would possess no internal fluctuations in any of its group symmetric
parameters outside of the spectrum of potential change for the parameters defined within the
symmetry group, and so it is hard to imagine how such a symmetric system, heretofore
everlastingly cut off from any outside (realm possessing foreign parameters or off-scale values
of domestic parameters), could spontaneously break, that is, without having been helped
from outside.

If the Big Bang is simultaneous with the initial, abrupt phase of spontaneous symmetry breaking,
then its continued expansion may perhaps be understood as a continuous further breaking of
(global) symmetry in favor of the continued establishment of greater myriads of domains of local
symmetry, interconnected through mutual exchanges of quantities of their local variables. We
might suppose that the rate-density of entropy production therefore is uniform throughout the
Universe provided that one refers to the production of total entropy, local + global, i.e., that due to
the local evolution of complex structures/systems + local contributions to the entropy production,
exclusively due to the global entropy production occurring as a consequence of cosmological
expansion. This means that the global rate-density of entropy increase is affected by the rates of
change to the local entropy. The rate-density of global entropy may be understood,
paradoxically seeming, as the local rate to times passage relative to changes in the cosmical time
parameter. This cosmic time parameter is based upon changes in the total entropy of the
Universe.


Ambiguities of interpretation of fluctuations occurring near the vertex of the light cone.
Ambiguities of the interpretation of quantum tunneling. Can we have tunneling of particles
across a timelike potential barrier? Can we construct an experiment to test this, say one which
involves the tuning/detuning of some already well understood tunneling? The consistency of the
notion of virtual gravity waves depends on the independent existence of spacetime fluctuations.


At the event horizon of a black hole the space and time axes are in some sense reversed. This is
because an object (or particle so we can neglect tidal effects) just outside of the event horizon
possesses virtually all of its momentum in the direction of the holes center and relatively none of
it in a timelike direction. But neither is their any room for internal spacelike momentum for
this mass (in the form of binding force-mediating boson particle exchanges). All of the
fluctuations of the vacuum are in the form of 3-momentum and none in the form of imaginary
(timelike) 4-momentum. And so the mass is not so much torn apart as it is dissolved due to the
holes sapping of the mass own binding forces. In the extreme case depicted here, gravity is not
truly a force, but our projecting of our large, latent stores of common experience with everyday
objects causes the phenomenology of gravitation to be naturally interpreted in terms of the action
of a distance of a gravitating force. Gravitation is more accurately (or objectively) understood as
the effects of mass upon a higher dimensional quantum vacuum that must, after the fashion of a
cellular automaton, simultaneously parallel reprocess the data representing both matter and the
colocated/coextensive 3-vacuum, and where this vacuum possess only a finite computational
capacity.

If the vacuum does not itself gravitate, then momentum and energy fluctuations do not directly
cause spacetime fluctuations but only do so indirectly through the effects of these
momentum-energy vacuum fluctuation upon matter itself. Fluctuations of momentum and
energy, in other words, directly produce fluctuations in x and t of test particles that we
conveniently interpret as the effects of fluctuations of x and t upon test particles. The problem
here is that it we allow x and t to affect <p> and <E> directly, then we also have to permit then
to affect p and E directly, with the result that the vacuum itself must possess a gravitational
mass.

Perhaps the way to put time and space on an equal footing within a theory of quantum gravity
should be not to try to make the time parameter into a bona fide observable, but to take away this
status from the space variable, x.

This reminds us of the expansion of a permutation group through the discovery that some members
of this group are not simple, but composite.
@$
Processing information means taking two pieces
of information from two smaller, and heretofore never before directly connected, contexts, and
bringing the pieces of information together in such a way that one now has new information
concerning the broader context including all of the original pieces.



From my light reading on the subject of supersymmetry (SUSY), I gather that when

The breaking of the spacetime symmetry of the quantum vacuum by mass is not the fundamental
or absolute symmetry breaking that requires the engendering of a new gauge boson. This
situation is quite unlike that where a broken global symmetry causes the creation of a gauge boson,
which, by being exchanged between splintered symmetry domains, results in the restoring locally
of the symmetry that was broken globally, e.g., the creation of the Higgs boson in the theory of
electroweak symmetry breaking. Another reason that the breaking of the vacuum spacetime
symmetry by mass is not fundamental is that mass is not an irreducible, conserved physical
quantity, but is a phenomenon produced by the peculiar manner in which the components of the
total (mass-energy + vacuum-energy) fluctuation stress-momentum-energy tensors mutually
interact.

Spin 1/2 Dirac electron-positron field has negative zero point quantum energy density

ebook, Destiny Matrix.

Prior to the breaking of the spacetime symmetry of the vacuum by mass, the spectrum of
momentum fluctuations within the vacuum is just that defined in terms of the spectrum of virtual
transitions allowed between the discrete energy levels of this global vacuum state. This is
exactly the situation we should expect if the quantum vacuum can correctly be modeled as a four
dimension array of coupled harmonic oscillators, i.e., as a four dimensional crystalline latticework.
The additional 3-momentum fluctuations, over and above those permitted in the symmetric state of
this vacuum, correspond to those transition energies of the modified vacuum lattice which are now
forbidden by the state of broken symmetry.

After this symmetry is broken, the spectrum of vacuum 3-momentum fluctuations becomes denser
while that of the vacuums energy fluctuations, i.e., fluctuations in the imaginary component of the
vacuums 4-momentum, becomes attenuated. Were this vacuum two dimensional, this change
in symmetry could have been effected by a simple rotation of the fluctuation momentum-energy
vector, i.e., a 2
nd
rank tensor would have been required to describe the rotation, but not the end
state, which could be adequately described in terms of a 2-vector. And the dynamics of this
rotation of momentum-energy within this 2d spacetime can be modeled in terms of the exchange of
spin-1 gauge bosons. However, in four-dimensional spacetime, a 2
nd
rank tensor is required to
describe the vacuums end state that post symmetry-breaking. Moreover, a 4
th
rank tensor is
necessary to describe this transformation of the vacuum caused by the breaking of its symmetry, as
mentioned earlier. Consequently, a transformation of the fluctuation stress-momentum-energy
tensor can be described in terms of time-varying probability current densities of both spin-1 vector
gauge bosons and spin-2 gauge bosons.

As the density of a given mass is increased, so increases the communications bottleneck between
change within the mass, mediated by momentum fluctuations in the form of spin-1 boson
exchange, and the temporality of the quantum vacuum. Since the modes of momentum
fluctuation are determined (just as in the case of a crystal) by the available energy transitions
between discrete energy levels of the (lattice) vacuum, simultaneous increases in momentum
fluctuation density with corresponding decreases in energy fluctuations within the vacuum
occupying the very same volume (as the mass in question), require that these momentum
fluctuations become progressively more energy degenerate. Is this paradoxical? We must
understand the relationship between the concepts of symmetry and degeneracy to answer this
question.

The nonlinearities exhibited by general relativity may only apply to the expectation values of all
forms of energy and not to mere fluctuations in energy (that are grounded in Heisenberg energy
uncertainty, that is). Is gravitation a manifestation of the loss of spacetime symmetry? In
other words, the spatiotemporal distribution of the wavefunction, which matters not to an isolated,
single particle within an empty universe, in terms of when and where this particle is situated
within this empty spacetime, becomes an important parameter for the momentum-energy (or
4-momentum) of this (test) particle, i.e., a degeneracy has been removed (and not here because of
some specific force coupling having been introduced) remember, gravitation is not a force.


global symmetry is broken, one or more gauge bosons are engendered as a result. These bosons
are necessary to restore this broken symmetry, but only at a local level. The continual mutual
exchange of these gauge bosons between the appropriate fermions (those feeling the gauge force
mediated by these particular bosons) constitutes the mechanism by which this local gauge
symmetry is maintained. My understanding is that, in the case of all gauge bosons, with the
notable exception of the Higgs, the fermions involved in the exchanging of these bosons acquire an
effective mass component of their total mass. (Lorenz, by the way, had tried during the early
years of the 20
th
Century to demonstrate that all of the electrons mass was electromagnetic in
origin and was attributable to the electrons electromagnetic self-energy. Lorenz attempt
ultimately proved unsuccessful: it appears that even the great hunches of great minds do not
always pan out!) Now the hypothesis for the gravity mechanism alluded to throughout these
writings points to the mutual exchanges of gauge (vector) bosons as being materially important in
understanding this mechanism as well as the mechanism of inertia hopefully so since we would
like to remain true to Einsteins strong equivalence principle, the other postulate of general
relativity being that of general covariance.

Can we think of the loss of purely timelike 4-momentum, and this 4-momentum being
reconstituted into both timelike and spacelike components as representing a particularly simple
form of symmetry breaking? An important question in this connection becomes does the
vacuum not gravitate because of a kind of mutual cancellation of its timelike and spacelike
momentum fluctuation current densities? Or is this the case because the 4-momentum of the
vacuum, in the absence of mass, is itself purely timelike? Supersymmetry, which requires the
contributions to the vacuum energy from creation/annihilation of virtual fermion-antifermion pairs
to contribute a negative component of this energy, also requires the contribution to this vacuum
energy from the creation/annihilation of bosons to be positive. Moreover, SUSY requires that
these two contributions from the two basic types of vacuum fluctuation somehow precisely cancel!

Magnitude of the tensor as a kind of container for a conserved fluid which can have 16 distinct
(flow?) components. Shuffling of component intensities is reversible.

It has been stated many times by physicists that the existence of Heisenberg energy uncertainty
implies the non-conservation of energy. Similar statements apply to the momentum. But with
the unification of momentum and energy by special relativity into a conserved momentum-energy
four-vector, and the concomitant unification of space and time into a symmetric, spacetime
continuum, it becomes possible for both Heisenberg momentum and energy uncertainty to exist
throughout spacetime without the necessity of net uncertainty of the four-momentum throughout
this spacetime. This appears possible if the vacuum fluctuations in 3-momentum are
dynamically related to those of the energy so that the sum of these two yields a magnitude of the
four-momentum fluctuations of the vacuum which remains a constant 0 or, undetectably close to 0
such that a) the quantum vacuum does not itself act as a gravitating source and b) the spacetime
maintains (for all practical purposes) its Lorenz invariance. The action of mass through the
mechanisms of Pauli Exclusion (and Inclusion) upon the vacuum and, conversely, of this
vacuum upon the mass, serves to disrupt this spacetime symmetry (of Lorenz invariance) causing
an imbalance in the mutual cancellation of vacuum momentum and energy fluctuations. This
imbalance, induced by mass on the vacuum, acts to give the vacuum an effective mass just as this
modified vacuum enhances the mass of test bodies introduced into it from outlying, virtual free
space. Mass is enhanced in two distinct but closely related ways: the real time processing
burden that increased momentum fluctuation densities (within vacuum occupied by masses) pose
for the quantum vacuum that mediates them and the reduced computational resources available to
this vacuum with which to perform this function. On this view, the density of vacuum energy
that acts as a source of gravitation is only that component of the vacuums total energy density
which fails to cancel with its momentum fluctuations. In this way, the effective vacuum energy
density is determined by the density of mass in the universe. It is this tiny component of the total
quantum vacuum energy density, which we should term the cosmological constant.

The building-in of phenotype degeneracy may depend also upon quantum indeterminacy. Can
the phenomenon of quantum degeneracy be related to that of classical, deterministic chaos, e.g.,
chaotic attractor theory, i.e., quantum chaos?

So it is actually the tidal forces associated with a gravitational field that produce the acceleration of
massive bodies.

By virtue of the Bose principle (PIP), the enhanced binding energy of the vacuum associated with
its enhanced density of 3-momentum fluctuations/suppressed energy (imaginary 4-momentum)
fluctuations, induce a mirroring (of this shift in the magnitude of the components of its
stress-momentum-energy fluctuation tensor) by the equivalent matter fluctuation tensor.

This tendency of the structure of matter to imitate/ borrow from that of the sustaining vacuum
energy is simply suggested by the distinction of real versus virtual, e.g., particle, field, etc.

The spin-statistics connection is not necessary in nonrelativistic quantum mechanics, i.e, there is
no necessary connection within this theory between the spin of a particle and the symmetry (or
antisymmetry) of the particles wavefunction. This connection is however demanded by
consistency requirements of relativity applied quantum mechanics.

There is a distinction between the quantum uncertainty, /\Q, and the fluctuations in Q, i.e., oQ
for all quantum systems except that of the quantum mechanical observers own brain.

Effortless execution of what has been performed and practiced on many previous occasions is
possible as we exploit the well-worn rut of a one-to-one, onto function. Effortless
improvisation exploits an altogether different functionality. Sometimes it does seem as though
we are getting some help in developing and ordering our thoughts somewhat after the fashion of a
matching funds subsidy. This is somewhat after the fashion, again, that the poets leaps of
insight and facilitated by the simultaneous striving after an appropriate sounding verse. Another
related phenomenon is that by which certain conceptions, best expressed in a particular vernacular
or dialect, are also more easily conceived even when these conceptions are altogether novel to
the person imitating a particular form or speech.

It is not that faster than light influences do not exist, it is just that these supraliminal influences are
not measurable. The influences would possess these normally conserved quantities in amounts
less than the Heisenberg uncertainties of these quantities. These quantities are in this case not
conserved and so, for example, spacetime symmetry is absent over spacetime regions of dimension
smaller than /\x
0
, i.e., /\t, /\x
1
, /\x
2
, /\x
3
. These quantities are, of course, /\p
x
, /\p
y
, /\p
z
, /\E.
The question arises whether such small momenta and energies are actually not conserved or,
whether these quantities are just below the threshold of the measurability necessary to verify the
conservation or these quantities. What this means is that there is a question about the origin of
the nonconservation of the Heisenberg uncertainties of these dynamical quantities. The
hypothesis advanced here is that the expectation values of these dynamical quantities are jointly
determined by the observer uncertainties in these quantities and the magnitude of the vacuum
fluctuations of these quantities. What is conserved is perhaps the vacuum fluctuation term
component of the expectation value while the nonconserved component remains the quantum
uncertainty itself.

Perhaps vacuum fluctuation momentum and energy are only nonconserved quantities only in the
restricted sense of there being no measurable inputs of momentum and energy to the continuity
equation of fluctuation momentum current density.

Perhaps the expectation values of, for example, a systems momentum or energy, are conserved
quantities due to a special coordination between the observers uncertainties and the vacuum
fluctuations in the systems (matter + vacuum) momentum and energy.

Our theory is in difficulty in regard to this one important point: we have maintained that the
magnitudes of the fluctuations in the quantum vacuums momentum and energy combine together
into a conserved four vector (in the case of an empty spacetime) and yet we are also maintaining
that the gravitational field breaks the spacetime symmetry of this vacuum, say, by disrupting the
phase relationships of the individual amplitudes in the vacuums momentum and energy
fluctuations.

There is another form of probability, of course, which is that of detector efficiency.

conscious experience corresponding to each alternative possible outcome of an act of observation
(of the state of a quantum system), therefore consciousness has nothing whatever to do with the
selection from among these alternative possibilities.

There is no basis provided for within Everetts theory for the distinguishing of actual and possible
quantum states. Everetts theory depends upon the possibility of their being a complete quantum
description of the Universe.

Of course, a computation, taking place within the Universe, of the state of the Universe as a whole,
is in principle impossible, unless, perhaps, one is only speaking of this whole as a kind of shell or
outer form with inner states which remain undetermined. An interesting thought here is that
considerations of logic only tell us that something is per impossible, but leaves completely
unexplained the why and wherefore of this impossibility. The question arises whether there is
some meaning in asking why some thing or event, dictated by logic as an impossibility, in terms of
limitations within a physical order.

Consciousness is a structure of simultaneity, which is grounded in the integration of temporality.
Does this imply that temporality can exist in an aboriginal, unintegrated state, and paradoxically
only at a later time being brought into a state of greater integral wholeness? Isnt a mere single
dimension of time an inadequate domain from which the functions of integration are to take their
arguments, i.e., independent variables?

The temporal multidimensionality may be found within Everetts Many Worlds Theory of
quantum measurement, if integration of temporality is effected through the interaction of physical
noncommunicating branches of the Universe (or merely of the individual minds universe).

Conscious action may be defined within a quantum mechanical context as the organization of
undetermined quantum states by thought.

We might say that choice transcends quantum description because on the relative statistical
weights are given for each eigenfunction within a give quantum superposition state, but if we do,
we neglect the fact that however human beings choose to actualize the eigenstates of their quantum
brain superposition states, over time these choices must collectively always be achieved in such a
manner that the relative statistical weights are not violated. Does this suggest that if, unlike the
case of pure, statistical probability of the classical world, the actualization of quantum brain states
by the individual human person have continued to defy, if you will, what is otherwise indicated by
the relative statistical weightings of the individual quantum brain eigenstates, that then some
quantum potential must have all along been concurrently building up (in the quantum vacuum with
which the persons brain is interacting or, perhaps, within that persons brain itself), which strives
(and ultimately must succeed) to redress this disparity so that the relative statistical probability
weights remain in force. After all, Bohms coauthor, Basil Hiley himself routinely referred to the
quantum potential as an information potential.

The fundamental difference between the eigenstates of a superposition and those of a statistical
mixture is essentially this: in a statistical mixture of quantum states there is one state among the
states of the mixture that the system is actually in; in the case of a superposition the system is not
secretly already in one of these possible states because this has yet to be determined by, e.g.,
observation or decoherence.

The order of spacelike separated events is only determined within an individual consciousness.

The observer cant copy a quantum state, but can arrange so that the system and his own brain state
form a joint quantum state.


The dynamism of fragments resulting from a broken symmetry is convergent and evolutionary.
The internal symmetry is broken and simple enough to fit into externality whereupon the original

effected and sustained by a set of locally symmetric interactions, which can be contained within

The breaking of the infinite, global symmetry of an infinite, unified consciousness produced the

We must distinguish changes in the energy of the crystalline lattice 3-vacuum due to its interaction

3-vacuum.

Classical GR schema: matter tells spacetime how to curve and the curvature of spacetime informs
matters geodesic motion.

Quantum GR schema: momentum-energy (of matter) affects the fluctuation momentum-energy of
the quantum vacuum through their shared quantum statistics. And the structure of the quantum
vacuum fluctuation momentum-energy in turn affects the expectation values of the
momentum-energy. Here the effects of fluctuations in the position-time, i.e., spacetime
fluctuations are not fundamental, i.e., are not on an equal footing with momentum-energy
fluctuations. In other words, each fluctuation in position or time (which under resonance
produce nonzero alterations in the expectation values of x
I
and t) is derivative of its corresponding
momentum or energy fluctuations. And so, on the view spacetime fluctuations do not
themselves have any independent existence, i.e., virtual gravitons are fictional entities (even as
virtual particles!) The virtual transition of energy between distinct levels of the crystalline
vacuum lattice may be interpreted as virtual, timelike tunneling of fermions of the lattice to higher
energy levels of the crystal followed by decay of these virtual, excited states.

But this prevents the existence of real gravitons as mere excitations of the vacuum graviton field.
Moreover, on this view, gravitational waves are an artifact of a purely phenomenological
description of a peculiar dynamics of gravitationally perturbed matter distributions.

Such is the difference between a particle tunneling through a potential barrier versus tunneling

Can we understand the quantum measurement process as an example of induced symmetry

returns a real number that is quantum measured takes from the general linear, GL(n; C) to the
general linear subgroup of GL(n; C), i.e., GL(n;R).

If so, then what is the quantity that is conserved within GL(n;C), which is not longer conserved
within GL(n;R)? The uncertainties in the observables commuting with H?

Not only does the concentration of the nongravitational binding force interactions (i.e., virtual
photon, w, z, gluon, etc. exchanges between real fermions) increase, but along with this, field
energy from these increasing binding forces excite unoccupied, virtual fermion vacuum
modes, resulting in the concomitant creation (out of this field energy) of real fermions, which
then become part of the structure of the gravitationally collapsing matter distribution. And there
is reason to believe (of course, also from the standpoint of symmetry considerations) that there
obtains an equipartation of field energy (real fermions) and interaction or binding energy (virtual
bosons).

Do fermions and bosons provide boundary conditions for each other?

Exchanging a fermion for an antifermion induces a sign change in the time. Exchanging a boson
for an antiboson induces no sign changes in either space or time variables.

Oscillatory transmission coefficient for a barrier tunneling problem may be a good analogy for the

Virtual gravitons are just stress-energy fluctuations of the quantum vacuum, which can also be
understood, through a generalization of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, as fluctuations in the
coupling of space to time, i.e., as fluctuations in the strength in the coupling of momentum and
energy fluctuations to the quantum vacuum.

Late time normalization involves an accounting system, i.e., the conservation of probability (or
probability density, tensor density, etc.), which subsumes (and may well essentially depend on) the
action of nonlocal quantum influences.

Nonlocal interactions seem to be necessary for a system described by a wavefunction. This is
because the wavefunction perfectly mimics a particular class of random function although the
physics underpinned by this functions dynamics is anything but random.

Although the momentum-energy of the system of charged particles and electromagnetic fields do
not each transform covariantly, the momentum-energy of the combined system of both does
transform covariantly.

already related fluctuations in 3-momentum to the exchanges of vector bosons within 3-space and

How are we to represent fluctuations in the stress component of the vacuum momentum-energy

mentioned earlier that these stress fluctuations could be described in terms of the exchange of

Now the quantity, T

Should scattering in vacuum be treated any different than scattering in a refractive or dielectric
medium?

A four-vector equation shows the relationship of two quantities, one of which is conserved.
There should be a symmetry associated with the space defined by the unconserved quantity.
Then there should also exist an uncertainty relation (of the Heisenberg variety) obtaining between
the uncertainties in both the conserved and unconserved quantities.

Can we speak of the symmetry space of the unconserved quantity as being curved or warped
as a result of the action of the conserved quantity, say due to some dynamism taking place within
the local symmetry space occupied by the conserved quantity?

The gravitational field is the spacetime field, which exists against the backdrop of an infinite,
Euclidean space?

Topology is a consideration of quantum statistics because of the underlying transformation of the
exchange of identical particles. Many different topologies can have the very same metric or is it
that any given topology can possess myriad distinct metrics? Presumably the metric tensor
varies throughout the spacetime of a gravitational field even though the topology of the spacetime
manifold, i.e., its connectedness, remains a constant.

Can we calculate the increase in entropy resulting from the breaking of a symmetry? Look at the

Metaphor underpins the integral consistency of culture. It is because of this fact that we may
meaningfully speak of revolutions occurring in numerous distinct fields of human endeavor
simultaneously.

If it is possible to move relative to an always greater fraction of the total vacuum energy density
contained within a region upon which is impressed a gravitational field, this is due to the locally
reduced value of the velocity of light within this region.

Phase is determined by both frequency, f, and wavenumber, k. In other words,
sys
is determined
by the energy and momentum of the quantum mechanical system. Changes in the phase with
time may be linked to fluctuations in the quantum mechanical systems energy. While changes
in
sys
along coordinate intervals may be linked to fluctuations in the quantum mechanical
systems momentum. Are nondeterministic functions described by anharmonic Fourier
expansions, deterministic by harmonic?

Performing a quantum measurement disrupts the delicate phase relationships between the
orthogonal modes of the quantum mechanical system, i.e., between the systems orthogonal
eigenstates. Does quantum mechanical measurement abruptly introduce anharmonicity into the
system? Does adiabatic change in the system mean merely a shift in the amplitudes of systems
eigenfunctions?

In some gauge theories, the vacuum is defined by a field that induces a breaking of the vacuums
symmetry (Higgs mechanism) and giving particles their respective masses (as opposed to merely
causing the already defined, potential masses for each type of particle of these particles from their
status as heretofore latent and virtual to a new status as actual (or manifest) and real.

On p. 152 of How is Quantum Field Theory Possible?, we read, Quantum theories tell us there is

another, i.e., orthogonal. In this situation the vacuum has been excited into anharmonic
oscillation. By what mechanism are we to model the induced interaction of the vacuum normal
modes under the condition of anharmonicity? Does anharmonicity imply the occurrence of
broken symmetry, e.g., spatiotemporal or in the intricate phase relations of these normal modes?
Does the disruption of harmonicity imply the exchange of quantities of phase between the
interacting normal modes and is the quantity of phase so exchanged itself quantized?


The comments about the accelerated electric charge pertain to freely-falling charges.

Are the energies of vacuum fluctuations blue or red shifted relative to an accelerated body a body
either being accelerated within free space or freely falling in a gravitational field? Or are the
probability current densities of these fluctuations merely shifted in their distributions?

Re-examine the question of gravitating quantum vacuum in light of the notion of metric
degeneracy of spacetime topological fluctuations.

Distance and time interval can be defined in terms of the line density of momentum and energy
fluctuation events, respectively.


Think about /\x and /\p in relation to double potential barrier height (in distinguishing the two
interpretations of tunneling). This question of interpretation can be connected to another one
where vacuum spacetime fluctuations are interpreted as either phenomenological or physically
real.


C.f., p. 247, Theoretical Concepts in Physics (Longair), fluctuations in the field are of the same
magnitude as the energy density of the radiation itself. (waves of random phase for a particular
mode of oscillation).


An electric charge moves in such a manner (when undergoing accelerated motion, that is) as to
remain at the center of its field emanations so that it appears to itself to be at rest. This is an
example of forces being induced by the breaking of a symmetric vacuum field. This would seem
to imply that a component of this charged particles mass is electromagnetic in origin. We may
make similar observations concerning the other components of the particles mass in terms of it
maintaining local symmetry as a source of other fundamental force fields, i.e., strong nuclear,
weak nuclear, and perhaps also gravitational. Such a particle, while being accelerated in free
space, disrupts the global spacetime symmetry of the vacuum electromagnetic field, along with
the other global symmetries of this vacuum those associated with the other fundamental forces.
But then the particle proceeds to emit and absorb various force-carrying quanta, i.e., bosons, in
such a manner, then, so that the local vacuum symmetries with respect to these fundamental fields
is retained. A kind of self-force develops out of this tendency of the particle to maintain the
symmetries of its local spacetime (vacuum), which acts in opposite sense to the acceleration.
And it is these self-forces, acting in concert, which account for the inertia of the particle. In the
case where this particle is bound up within the quantal structure of bulk matter, considered to be
at rest, the fundamental fields now manifest themselves in the form of continual emission and
absorption of force-carrying quanta.

These are the same forces, which manifested themselves as the self-forces, described above for an
accelerating particle. These forces are now mediated by the to-and-fro exchange of
force-carrying quanta between the particle and its immediate neighbors (to which it is bound).
These are the forces underlying the binding energies of bulk matter, which collectively engender
its inertial mass. The sum of the momentum current densities,
i
, are at the expense, as
explained earlier, of the imaginary component of the total 4-momentum current density,

, of the
free space, quantum vacuum. In the absence of internal stresses and strains within this bulk
matter, the fluctuation 4-momentum current density tensor is diagonal, containing only pressure
and energy density terms.

In the special case of the event horizon of a spherical black hole, the pressure terms are maximal
and the energy density term is 0. In other words, at the event horizon of the hole, all of the
fluctuation 4-momentum current density is in the form of internal exchanges of fluctuation
3-momentum. The time-time component, as well as the other timelike components of the
fluctuation stress-momentum-energy tensor for the local vacuum (just outside the event horizon) is
0. So at the event horizon of a black hole, the energy uncertainty of the quantum vacuum is also
0. Notice that the fluctuation energy (as opposed to momentum) associated with all of the
fundamental vacuum fields are each, individually, 0 (since there can be no mutual cancellation
between the energies of distinct spin-1 fields).

The duration of individual vacuum energy fluctuations is not what is altered by time dilation
within a gravitational field, just the interval between these energy transitions and the current
density of the vacuum fluctuations in energy relative to the increased momentum current densities
within bulk matter. Similarly, the wavelength of individual momentum fluctuations is not
contracted in the radial direction within a gravitational field, just the average distance between
individual momentum fluctuation events. If this is a more or less correct interpretation, then
how are we to explain the phenomenon of gravitational redshift?

So would energy and momentum here be a collective phenomenon rather than absolute physical
quantities, such that the momentum and energy of real particles are not absolute, for instance, but
are merely change relative to the abstract representations of the vacuums momentum and energy
grounded in this vacuums momentum and energy current densities? This interpretation is
perhaps consistent with and helps to clarify the meaning of the notion of time being relative (rather
than absolute).

So it is actually the tidal forces associated with a gravitational field that produce the acceleration of
massive bodies.

By virtue of the Bose principle (PIP), the enhanced binding energy of the vacuum associated with
its enhanced density of 3-momentum fluctuations/suppressed energy (imaginary 4- momentum)
fluctuations, induce a mirroring (of this shift in the magnitude of the components of its
stress-momentum-energy fluctuation tensor) by the equivalent matter fluctuation tensor.

The question arises that if the fluctuations in the momentum and energy in the particles of which
the mass is composed are independent of these fluctuations of the local vacuum state, then
interpreting either set of fluctuations as the Heisenberg uncertainties in momentum and energy and
the remaining set of fluctuations as the fluctuation terms of these two quantities, then given that
these two sets of fluctuations, matter and vacuum, are appropriately correlated, nonzero
expectation values result for the momentum and energy for this matter. More specifically,
negatively correlated sets of fluctuations will produce nonzero expectation values of the
momentum or energy and positively correlated sets of fluctuations will produce zero expectation
values of the momentum or energy. An important question here is: how are vacuum
momentum fluctuations related to vacuum energy fluctuations (within the same spacetime
neighborhood)?

This tendency of the structure of matter to imitate/ borrow from that of the sustaining vacuum
energy is most directly suggested by the distinction of real versus virtual particles and fields and
physically realized through the action of PIP and the divergence free nature of T

, i.e., the fact

that, /

= 0

where T

is the vacuum stress-momentum-energy fluctuation tensor and /

is a covariant
derivative.

The symmetry of real vs. virtual duality is broken in at least one important and perhaps, highly
significant, sense: real particles possess mass both singly and collectively; virtual particles possess
this property of mass only as individual particles. This is because the principles of PEP and PIP
apply equally to the interaction of virtual with virtual particles as they do to the interaction of real
particles with virtual particles. The characteristic of massiveness does not extend to virtual
particles collectively because virtual particles generally do not possess a continuous existence, i.e.,
existence through more than one period defined by Plancks constant divided by the particles
energy.

In terms of the cellular automata (CA) model of vacuum and matter, the information processing
capacity that must be respectively devoted to the computation of virtual versus real particle
structures (individual and collective) and virtual versus real spacetime trajectories (evolution)
surely must be of widely divergent magnitude.

The difference in the computational resources required (on the part of the quantum vacuum) in
order to continuous recreate a particle if the same type or class, according to a statistical rule,
versus the computational resources that must be devoted to the task of continuously recreating a
certain individual (individually labeled) particle, according to a deterministic rule, must be one of
many orders of magnitude. This difference in order of magnitude may well approximate that
between the vacuum energy densities predicted by quantum theory for the quantum vacuum and
general relativity theory for the cosmological constant. In this manner, CA theory may allow a
large step in the direction of reconciling these two fundamental and radically conflicting theories.

The probability of throwing a head and a tail when tossing two coins is classically speaking .
The quantum probability of throwing a head and a tail is just

. In the first case, heads and
tails are distinguishable; in the latter, they are indistinguishable. This is far less than an order of
magnitude difference, if we carry this over from the context of simple probabilities to that of
probability densities or probability current densities and probability rates.

When distinguishing throws (which may be likened to creation/annihilation events), we note
that, classically, when distinguishing coins (which may be likened to distinguishing particles), the
probability of each possible throw is or 0.25. When not distinguishing throws, which is
what is required in analogy with the statistical requirements of the quantum theory, the probability
of each possible throw is

The computational resource requirements for a representation within the computational state space
of the cellular automaton (CA) in relation to the total available computational resources available
to the CA with which to compute this representation is the principle determining factor of the
inertial mass exhibited by the representation (representational object). The information content
of a state space configuration is very closely tied to the probability of this configuration relative to
that of the other distinct configurations of the state space. When the degeneracy of a
representation increases, its relative probability within the state space is enhanced.

Within classical CA theory, there is no meaning in the notion of a degenerate state; degeneracy is
always that of a representation within the state space with respect to some quantum observable;
identical states are indistinguishable within classical CA theory (time-independent quantum state
space, i.e., state space in which the total set of possible configurations is closed?).
Representations may be degenerate, which comprise any number of distinct states. The
degeneracy of an individual state would allow such a state to continue through more than one clock
cycle of the CAs CPU, which would imply the possibility of distinguishing identical states of the
CA state space. In the case where individual identical states of the CA state space are
distinguishable, (time-dependent quantum state space? state space with memory?) then the
probabilities of a given state are

Alternatively, the divergence free nature of /

calling the Pauli Inclusion Principle).

When the quantum uncertainties are expressed in terms of the creation and annihilation operators,

the causal indeterminacy underlying quantum mechanical phenomena is much more
clearly discernible.

All of the basic definitions of special relativity presuppose the concept of event. This concept
is not clearly and unambiguously defined within this theory.

The apparent standing contradiction of two otherwise correct theories, general relativity and
quantum mechanics, in terms of these theories widely divergent predictions of the vacuums
energy density, combined with the renormalization problem of Quantum Gravity theory as well as
the corresponding absences of experimental observations of gravitational waves, strongly suggests
that a SUSY theory in which both the quantum of the gravitational field and also a gravitating
vacuum energy are absent, may bold much promise as a future successful theory that solves these
problems as well as reconciling QM and GR.

Mass skews the spacetime symmetry of the quantum vacuum via the Pauli exclusion mechanism
(which, according to Feynmann, applies equally to both real and virtual fermions) and,
concomitantly, via the mechanism underlying the phenomena of Bose condensation,
superconductivity, superfluidity, lasing, etc. The principle of the action of this mechanism we
will term for convenience sake, the Pauli Inclusion Principle (PIP). This mechanism also applies
equally to both real and virtual bosons.

Because matter, through the Pauli Exclusion Principle (PEP), acts upon scalar energy functions of
the vacuum, in the form of, e.g., virtual e
+
e
-
creation-annihilation events in a precisely converse
manner to how matter acts via PIP upon the vector momentum fluctuations of this vacuum, the
overall effect of matter upon the momentum and energy fluctuations of the vacuum is to destroy
the diagonality of the vacuums momentum-energy fluctuation tensor, effectively rotating
(relative to some cosmic background spacetime, perhaps defined in terms of nonlocal energy
fluctuations) the local space and time uncertainties experienced by, say, test masses within this
modified vacuum. The result of this is that time dilation, length contraction (in the direction of
the gravitating mass), are experienced by the mass in this vacuum simultaneous with the
appearance of stress fluctuations terms within the momentum-energy fluctuations tensor.

Push and pull forces are responsible for changes in the diagonal components of the
momentum-energy fluctuation tensor, which are described in terms of virtual spin 1 particles
(bosons). However, the mutual exchange of stresses within the mass bulk must be described in
terms of the mutual exchange of virtual spin 2 particles (gravitons).

The transformation of a 1
st
rank tensor is described, of course, by multiplication of this vector by a
2
nd
rank tensor. The transformation of a 2
nd
rank tensor (even where this tensors diagonal
components are all 0) into another 2

rank tensor must be described by a 2
nd
rank tensor being
multiplied by a 4

rank tensor.

The structure of the spacetime fluctuation tensor (a mere phenomenological entity) may be related
to the metric tensor of GR.

The stress-energy-momentum fluctuation tensor of combined matter and vacuum may be related
to the tensor T
uv
of GR. The 4
th
rank tensor alluded to above may be related to the Riemannian
curvature tensor of GR. The fact that weak gravitational fields in the vacuum correlate with a
vacuum momentum-energy fluctuation tensor which contains negligibly small off-diagonal
components, sensibly corresponds to a vacuum dominated by scalar and vector fluctuations in its
stress, a case where a scalar-vector theory of gravitation such as that of Newtonian gravity stands
as a more than adequate, approximate description of the dynamics of mass distributions.

Psi represents everything which can be known about the system described by Psi. But this is not
correct in the unqualified manner in which this assertion is usually made. For Psi is always
somewhere at some time, i.e., Psi = Psi(x,t). And although we cannot perform a measurement
upon the system described by Psi(x,t) without inadvertently inducing a discontinuous change in its
wavefunction (unless the system happened to already be in an eigenstate of the operator
corresponding to the type of measurement of the system we are performing), the system itself is
not destroyed by such a measurement being performed upon it, merely the quantum state of the
system has been discontinuously changed. The transition from Psi(1) to Psi(2) where Psi(j) does
not represent an eigenstate of the relevant operator could not, of course, have been predicted from
Psi(1), nor could it have been predicted from the mutual interference of the wavefunction
discerning the observer with the wavefunction, Psi(1).

A more precise way of stating the fact of the relativity of time or the rate of its passage (a rather
problematic notion, by the way) is to do this in terms of relative probability rates where the notion
of quantum probability can only be rendered logically consistent by bringing in the notion of
probability density. Density of what, of some kind of substance of events? And the answer
here is both the probability density of that which constitutes the substance of events as such.
More specifically, the relevant quantity is the density of events within spacetime, rather than
simply within space alone. This is because, although it is prima facie possible (on a deeper
level within the context of general relativity, this can be questioned) for motion to occur along one
spatial axis without the necessity of motion, however small, along perpendicular spatial axes, this
is not true where motion along the time axis is concerned. This is in part because relative
motion in space (and its associated momentum) is dependent upon a borrowing during some
earlier phase of kinetic energy associated with the erstwhile purely timelike motion of the starting
masses.


Regardless of what happens to the wavefunction, ones consciousness does not come to a halt.
The wavefunction we are told represents the most that one can possibly objectively know about a
quantum system that is in a pure state (with respect to some system observable). Of course, if the
system is in a superposition state with respect to (wrt) one particular observable, it must be a
so-called pure state with respect to each incompatible, or conjugate, observable. And this is just
the basis of the uncertainty principle via the theorems of Fourier Analysis. Two question arise
here one for the moment appears to be merely secondary; the other more fundamental, although
we might find (after that this situation is actually the reverse of this.)

What does the quantum state of a given observers brain then represent? The most that that
observer can know about the quantum state and evolution of this state, which his brain is presently
in.

For some reason, the entanglement of a given systems wavefunction with those forming the
systems sum of histories does not trigger decoherence of Psi.

Ones state of consciousness is thought by some to represent the continuous self-measurement
by the observer of his own quantum state (that of his brain, at least based on the theory that it is
processes within ones brain that constitute all that is relevant to consciousness). Somehow this
continuous self-measurement does not cause any reduction of the brains Psi.

This would suggest that the brain is in an eigenstate of the observable which is to continual subject
of (self) measurement.


Nothing to distinguish one alternate universe (in the superposition) from another without intention
and awareness. The superposition possessed temporal symmetry (time translation symmetry) so
that energy was conserved.

Energy uncertainty without the necessity of vacuum fluctuations superposition within a closed
system. So here we have two types of fluctuation: that which is only definitional, i.e.,
fluctuations within a closed system, and the other which is inherently unpredictable, i.e., not part
of any system behavior. So we may make the distinction of these two fundamental types of
fluctuation thus: fluctuations that are real versus virtual perturbations. Temporality cannot
subsist in virtual perturbations real fluctuations must be present.


The basis for the radical overdetermination of nature is the fact of its origin being an infinitely
symmetric state. This infinite symmetric initial state was partially broken in the moment of
creation. Therefore all of the symmetries observed in nature are partial ones described by
subgroups of some original symmetry group.


Is some kind of degeneracy and symmetry involved in the overdetermination of ones
interpretation of ones own mental states? Causal connections as interpretations of correlations
and causal entities as beds of correlation.


Now a given mass, accelerated to a velocity approaching that of light cannot so closely approach
this delimiting value so as to become more massive than its own black hole mass. And the black
hole mass is determined by the density of the mass having reached the delimiting value of the
vacuum energy density/c
2
for the particular volume occupied by the accelerating mass. Also,
we know that the acceleration of the mass is just the 90
o
spacetime rotation of the mass original,
purely timelike velocity.

In this way the limiting velocity to which a given mass may be accelerated is a function of the
energy density of the vacuum occupied by the accelerating mass. So we see now that the
original, purely timelike four velocity of the mass (prior to acceleration) is itself a function of the
density of the mass relative to the density of the vacuum energy coextensive with the mass
displaced volume. But if the acceleration to light velocity is actually to be effected, the mass
must utilize its own mass energy as the fuel for propelling itself such that, upon actually
approaching c, all of its starting mass has already been converted to photon (or other massless
particle) energy. The fact that some of this fuel must come from the binding energy of the mass
rather than from the positive mass energy itself suggests that the mass when a at rest already
possesses a small quantity of spacelike momentum connected with dynamical processes within the
mass responsible for the existence of this binding energy.

A theoretical group describes a closed set of reversible operations with the elements of the group.
What is closed is the set composed of the distinct operations; the number of distinct elements,
which composes the domain, which the operations of the group take as inputs, may itself be
infinite. When the symmetry of the group is broken, the operations of the group are altered
and perhaps also new operations added, which no longer are reversible, singly or collectively.
The discovery of a new mathematical group for the description of some physical phenomenon
means that various manifestations of physical variables, heretofore treated as distinct, are now
seen to be differing manifestations of the same, underlying entity/physical quantity.

Changes in state to some subpart of a closed dynamic system which are wholly attributable to
other, earlier changes in neighboring subparts of the overarching system constitute ceteris paribus
reversible, symmetric interactions. However, the reactions triggered by these interactions may
not be themselves symmetric and time-reversible. Any asymmetries of the systems changes of
state are ultimately traceable to input to the system wholly from outside it. The sense of
outside intended here, one in which the system as a whole is not secretly a subpart of some
overarching system, with perturbations to its outside transmitted to it and mediated by the
overarching systems matrix and originating within some other subpart of the crypto-overarching
system. What we are really saying here is that asymmetrical interactions always are ultimately
between the uppermost overarching system and its outside. Of course, the uppermost
overarching system in almost any physical setting is just the global spacetime continuum itself in
which this system is embedded.

Infinite degeneracy would mean that the wavefunction of the degenerate system could undergo
transition between an infinite number of eigenstates on a continuous spectrum without measurable
changes resulting to any of its quantum observables.

Should Psi be understood as a knowledge representation rather than the most that can actually be
known about the system?

Since no energy is required to effect changes in the systems quantum state from one to another of
its energy degenerate eigenstates, free will and conscious thought may presuppose energy
degeneracy. Also, there is not basis for assigning scales of physical time to energy-degenerate
quantum transitions.

Infinite symmetry may be understood as infinite sameness in which, no matter where the observer
is and no matter what happens, no objective differences between here and there and no changes
from now to then are in any sense evident. Now such a state of infinite symmetry in the absence
of degeneracy (with respect to some set of as yet unmanifest parameters) is synonymous with an
empty void or nothingness. Moreover, for there to exist a state of infinite symmetry, an infinite
degeneracy must be present, that is, degeneracy with respect to an infinite number of distinct
though still unmanifest parameters. But all this is to presume that there is some presently
obtaining state, which represents physical reality (as a whole, in some sense) but which is both
underpinned by and insulated against an infinitely chaotic flux of change to an infinite number of
still unmanifest proto-physical variables (proto-observables?). A tremendous quantity of
entropy is released as a result of the breaking of this state of infinite symmetry (one might suppose
an infinite quantity for this entropy) so that the aboriginal state of infinite symmetry is to be
understood as possessing infinite order. The breaking of this infinitely symmetric, initial state
results in a kind of unpacking of this state into an intricate, dynamic structure/continuum of
ordered and disordered energy, i.e., some of the symmetry (order) of the initial state survives the
transition to the broken, symmetric state and the remainder is lost. But a perfectly and
infinitely symmetric state would possess no internal fluctuations in any of its group symmetric
parameters outside of the spectrum of potential change for the parameters defined within the
symmetry group, and so it is hard to imagine how such a symmetric system, heretofore
everlastingly cut off from any outside (realm possessing foreign parameters or off-scale values
of domestic parameters), could spontaneously break, that is, without having been helped
from outside.

If the Big Bang is simultaneous with the initial, abrupt phase of spontaneous symmetry breaking,
then its continued expansion may perhaps be understood as a continuous further breaking of
(global) symmetry in favor of the continued establishment of greater myriads of domains of local
symmetry, interconnected through mutual exchanges of quantities of their local variables. We
might suppose that the rate-density of entropy production therefore is uniform throughout the
Universe provided that one refers to the production of total entropy, local + global, i.e., that due to
the local evolution of complex structures/systems + local contributions to the entropy production,
exclusively due to the global entropy production occurring as a consequence of cosmological
expansion. This means that the global rate-density of entropy increase is affected by the rates of
change to the local entropy. The rate-density of global entropy may be understood,
paradoxically seeming, as the local rate to times passage relative to changes in the cosmical time
parameter. This cosmic time parameter is based upon changes in the total entropy of the
Universe.


Ambiguities of interpretation of fluctuations occurring near the vertex of the light cone.
Ambiguities of the interpretation of quantum tunneling. Can we have tunneling of particles
across a timelike potential barrier? Can we construct an experiment to test this, say one which
involves the tuning/detuning of some already well understood tunneling? The consistency of the
notion of virtual gravity waves depends on the independent existence of spacetime fluctuations.


At the event horizon of a black hole the space and time axes are in some sense reversed. This is
because an object (or particle so we can neglect tidal effects) just outside of the event horizon
possesses virtually all of its momentum in the direction of the holes center and relatively none of
it in a timelike direction. But neither is their any room for internal spacelike momentum for
this mass (in the form of binding force-mediating boson particle exchanges). All of the
fluctuations of the vacuum are in the form of 3-momentum and none in the form of imaginary
(timelike) 4-momentum. And so the mass is not so much torn apart as it is dissolved due to the
holes sapping of the mass own binding forces. In the extreme case depicted here, gravity is not
truly a force, but our projecting of our large, latent stores of common experience with everyday
objects causes the phenomenology of gravitation to be naturally interpreted in terms of the action
of a distance of a gravitating force. Gravitation is more accurately (or objectively) understood as
the effects of mass upon a higher dimensional quantum vacuum that must, after the fashion of a
cellular automaton, simultaneously parallel reprocess the data representing both matter and the
colocated/coextensive 3-vacuum, and where this vacuum possess only a finite computational
capacity.

If the vacuum does not itself gravitate, then momentum and energy fluctuations do not directly
cause spacetime fluctuations but only do so indirectly through the effects of these
momentum-energy vacuum fluctuation upon matter itself. Fluctuations of momentum and
energy, in other words, directly produce fluctuations in x and t of test particles that we
conveniently interpret as the effects of fluctuations of x and t upon test particles. The problem
here is that it we allow x and t to affect <p> and <E> directly, then we also have to permit then
to affect p and E directly, with the result that the vacuum itself must possess a gravitational
mass.

Perhaps the way to put time and space on an equal footing within a theory of quantum gravity
should be not to try to make the time parameter into a bona fide observable, but to take away this
status from the space variable, x.


This reminds us of the expansion of a permutation group through the discovery that some members
of this group are not simple, but composite. Processing information means taking two pieces of
information from two smaller, and heretofore never before directly connected, contexts, and
bringing the pieces of information together in such a way that one now has new information
concerning the broader context including all of the original pieces.

It has been stated many times by physicists that the existence of Heisenberg energy uncertainty
implies the non-conservation of energy. Similar statements apply to the momentum. But with
the unification of momentum and energy by special relativity into a conserved momentum-energy
four-vector, and the concomitant unification of space and time into a symmetric, spacetime
continuum, it becomes possible for both Heisenberg momentum and energy uncertainty to exist
throughout spacetime without the necessity of net uncertainty of the four-momentum throughout
this spacetime. This appears possible if the vacuum fluctuations in 3-momentum are
dynamically related to those of the energy so that the sum of these two yields a magnitude of the
four-momentum fluctuations of the vacuum which remains a constant 0 or, undetectably close to 0
such that a) the quantum vacuum does not itself act as a gravitating source and b) the spacetime
maintains (for all practical purposes) its Lorenz invariance. The action of mass through the
mechanisms of Pauli Exclusion (and Inclusion) upon the vacuum and, conversely, of this
vacuum upon the mass, serves to disrupt this spacetime symmetry (of Lorenz invariance) causing
an imbalance in the mutual cancellation of vacuum momentum and energy fluctuations. This
imbalance, induced by mass on the vacuum, acts to give the vacuum an effective mass just as this
modified vacuum enhances the mass of test bodies introduced into it from outlying, virtual free
space. Mass is enhanced in two distinct but closely related ways: the real time processing
burden that increased momentum fluctuation densities (within vacuum occupied by masses) pose
for the quantum vacuum that mediates them and the reduced computational resources available to
this vacuum with which to perform this function. On this view, the density of vacuum energy
that acts as a source of gravitation is only that component of the vacuums total energy density
which fails to cancel with its momentum fluctuations. In this way, the effective vacuum energy
density is determined by the density of mass in the universe. It is this tiny component of the total
quantum vacuum energy density, which we should term the cosmological constant.

The breaking of the spacetime symmetry of the quantum vacuum by mass is not the fundamental
or absolute symmetry breaking that requires the engendering of a new gauge boson. This
situation is quite unlike that where a broken global symmetry causes the creation of a gauge boson,
which, by being exchanged between splintered symmetry domains, results in the restoring locally
of the symmetry that was broken globally, e.g., the creation of the Higgs boson in the theory of
electroweak symmetry breaking. Another reason that the breaking of the vacuum spacetime
symmetry by mass is not fundamental is that mass is not an irreducible, conserved physical
quantity, but is a phenomenon produced by the peculiar manner in which the components of the
total (mass-energy + vacuum-energy) fluctuation stress-momentum-energy tensors mutually
interact.

Prior to the breaking of the spacetime symmetry of the vacuum by mass, the spectrum of
momentum fluctuations within the vacuum is just that defined in terms of the spectrum of virtual
transitions allowed between the discrete energy levels of this global vacuum state. This is
exactly the situation we should expect if the quantum vacuum can correctly be modeled as a four
dimension array of coupled harmonic oscillators, i.e., as a four dimensional crystalline latticework.
The additional 3-momentum fluctuations, over and above those permitted in the symmetric state of
this vacuum, correspond to those transition energies of the modified vacuum lattice which are now
forbidden by the state of broken symmetry.

After this symmetry is broken, the spectrum of vacuum 3-momentum fluctuations becomes denser
while that of the vacuums energy fluctuations, i.e., fluctuations in the imaginary component of the
vacuums 4-momentum, becomes attenuated. Were this vacuum two dimensional, this change
in symmetry could have been effected by a simple rotation of the fluctuation momentum-energy
vector, i.e., a 2
nd
rank tensor would have been required to describe the rotation, but not the end
state, which could be adequately described in terms of a 2-vector. And the dynamics of this
rotation of momentum-energy within this 2d spacetime can be modeled in terms of the exchange of
spin-1 gauge bosons. However, in four-dimensional spacetime, a 2
nd
rank tensor is required to
describe the vacuums end state that post symmetry-breaking. Moreover, a 4
th
rank tensor is
necessary to describe this transformation of the vacuum caused by the breaking of its symmetry, as
mentioned earlier. Consequently, a transformation of the fluctuation stress-momentum-energy
tensor can be described in terms of time-varying probability current densities of both spin-1 vector
gauge bosons and spin-2 gauge bosons.


As the density of a given mass is increased, so increases the communications bottleneck between
change within the mass, mediated by momentum fluctuations in the form of spin-1 boson
exchange, and the temporality of the quantum vacuum. Since the modes of momentum
fluctuation are determined (just as in the case of a crystal) by the available energy transitions
between discrete energy levels of the (lattice) vacuum, simultaneous increases in momentum
fluctuation density with corresponding decreases in energy fluctuations within the vacuum
occupying the very same volume (as the mass in question), require that these momentum
fluctuations become progressively more energy degenerate. Is this paradoxical? We must
understand the relationship between the concepts of symmetry and degeneracy to answer this
question.

The nonlinearities exhibited by general relativity may only apply to the expectation values of all
forms of energy and not to mere fluctuations in energy (that are grounded in Heisenberg energy
uncertainty, that is). Is gravitation a manifestation of the loss of spacetime symmetry? In
other words, the spatiotemporal distribution of the wavefunction, which matters not to an isolated,
single particle within an empty universe, in terms of when and where this particle is situated
within this empty spacetime, becomes an important parameter for the momentum-energy (or
4-momentum) of this (test) particle, i.e., a degeneracy has been removed (and not here because of
some specific force coupling having been introduced) remember, gravitation is not a force.

From my light reading on the subject of supersymmetry (SUSY), I gather that when glo
bal symmetry is broken, one or more gauge bosons are engendered as a result. These bosons are
necessary to restore this broken symmetry, but only at a local level. The continual mutual
exchange of these gauge bosons between the appropriate fermions (those feeling the gauge force
mediated by these particular bosons) constitutes the mechanism by which this local gauge
symmetry is maintained. My understanding is that, in the case of all gauge bosons, with the
notable exception of the Higgs, the fermions involved in the exchanging of these bosons acquire an
effective mass component of their total mass. (Lorenz, by the way, had tried during the early
years of the 20
th
Century to demonstrate that all of the electrons mass was electromagnetic in
origin and was attributable to the electrons electromagnetic self-energy. Lorenz attempt
ultimately proved unsuccessful: it appears that even the great hunches of great minds do not
always pan out!) Now the hypothesis for the gravity mechanism alluded to throughout these
writings points to the mutual exchanges of gauge (vector) bosons as being materially important in
understanding this mechanism as well as the mechanism of inertia hopefully so since we would
like to remain true to Einsteins strong equivalence principle, the other postulate of general
relativity being that of general covariance.

Can we think of the loss of purely timelike 4-momentum, and this 4-momentum being
reconstituted into both timelike and spacelike components as representing a particularly simple
form of symmetry breaking? An important question in this connection becomes does the
vacuum not gravitate because of a kind of mutual cancellation of its timelike and spacelike
momentum fluctuation current densities? Or is this the case because the 4-momentum of the
vacuum, in the absence of mass, is itself purely timelike? Supersymmetry, which requires the
contributions to the vacuum energy from creation/annihilation of virtual fermion-antifermion pairs
to contribute a negative component of this energy, also requires the contribution to this vacuum
energy from the creation/annihilation of bosons to be positive. Moreover, SUSY requires that
these two contributions from the two basic types of vacuum fluctuation somehow precisely cancel!


An individual random sequence of numbers may not possess any information. But what about
two random sequences which are correlated?

Computation can be represented in terms of the deterministic evaluation of Psi in conjunction with
adiabatic changes in the boundary conditions to Psi. Thought, on the other hand, cannot be
understood in this manner, but must be represented by discontinuous changes in Psi with
nonadiabatic irreversible changes in the boundary conditions upon Psi. If the boundary
conditions to Psi are overdetermined (degenerate), then

Individuality and unity go hand in hand. Not either/or but both/and.

What is the precise relationship between degeneracy, e.g., energy degeneracy, and symmetry, e.g.,
with respect to time reflection. The interpretation of rotation in four spatial dimensions is
unproblematic, but what about within four-dimensional Minkowski spacetime?

Leonard Mendels 1991 optical-interference experiment in which the very possibility of
determining which path the quantum particle takes through the double slit destroys the particle
superposition state and the observable interference pattern at the phosphorescent screen.
Possibility of knowledge has the same effect here as actual knowledge.



Contrast the reaction of a crystal lattice (closed system) to a perturbation or disturbance with the
response of an open system to an input. Without any definite or determinable boundary
between itself and its alterity, there is no possibility of either intentionally manipulative inputting
into the system, nor of a chance, finite collection of inputs applied that would cause the system to
change it state in a determinate or determinable manner. In such a case, the system cannot be
understood or modeled as a kind of state machine, e.g., Turing machine. The operation of
such a system is not therefore reversible. This is because, by back-reacting upon its embedding
ground state, changing this ground state in a necessarily irreversible manner (because the ground
state is an open system), the systems own reaction to its altered ground state means there is not
conceivable continuity of this system (against the backdrop of an irreversible change in its ground
state). Consequently, there is no conceivable set of inputs (to the system from outside) that
could have reproduced (really, alternately produced) the systems behavior (response).


The input of power, i.e., the supply of energy over time to the system succeeds only in
redistributing the probabilities or probability rates for fundamental fluctuations.

The collapse of the wavefunction necessitates violation of energy conservation for if energy were
conserved, the evolution of the wavefunction would have remained deterministic.

Decoherence of the Psi function occurs when, we might say, the quantum system in question
becomes more connected to (or entangled with) the local environment than with the nonlocal
quantum vacuum state in which it originated.

How can it be demonstrated, scientifically, that is, that the Psi function of some quantum system in
a prepared superposition state can be collapsed via the influence of a physical measuring
instrument alone, apart from the influence of any would-be conscious observer? Such a
physical measuring device must be able to enter a classically describable physical state, e.g.,
experience a determinate deflection of an indicator needle of one of its analogue measurement
dials.

Is there any fundamental difference between the measurement apparatus collapsing Psi and the
measurement approaches entering a superposition state of its own which is then collapsed by the
conscious act of observation on the part of the experimenter reading one of the devices dial
indicators?

The measurement apparatus, being apiece with the larger quantum mechanical state of which it
and the observed system form but a small part, cannot effect collapse of Psi
obs
any more than it can
collapse the overarching system state function. The conscious observer introduces the
irreversible element by virtue of the fact that his mind is not, nor can itself ever be, a quantum
mechanical observable.

The awesome potential for growth of large scale economies is rooted in one fundamental
economic fact or principle: the collective wealth represented by a nickel in the hands of 50
million wage slaves is far outstripped by 2.5 million dollars in the hands of a few creative and

To each observable there corresponds a quantum number so that the physical quantity represented
by this observable is quantized. Such a physical quantity is conserved, implying that the
quantity exhibits a certain kind of symmetry. Such observables are Hermitian, i.e., they may
only possess real eigenvalues, and each of these observables commute with some and not with
other observables, implying that this and every other observable participates in a Heisenberg
uncertainty relation with at least one other noncommuting observable.

Such observables may exist in various superposition states of their eigenfunctions their Psi
function undergoing state vector reduction, i.e., collapse when an observation is performed with
respect to this observable. The deterministic Schrodinger wave equation can only consistently
describe an isolated system and only such a closed system may enter into a superposition state.
This is due to the Schrodinger equation being derived from a linear differential equation involving
a Hamiltonian representing a conserved system total energy. As Wigner has forcefully point out,
one system cannot induce Psi-function collapse of some other system if it is possible to describe
the observed and observer systems as two components of a larger Psi-function separable into
these and other component Psi
I
the product of which from which the original Psi may be simply
constituted.

Can we say that consciousness (of the individual), if it can be treated as an observable in the first
instance, is an observable that does not commute with itself.

Are strange attractors in phase space also regions of dynamical resonance?

Do e+e- virtual pairs suppressed by strong electromagnetic fields manifest themselves as the
creation of real e+e- pairs?

In Psi collapse, an action (rather than a disturbance) that is originally incommensurate with the
vacuum or ground state within the spacetime region in question, is spontaneously fitted or
fused or grafted to the local vacuum of the event, whether, decoherence, quantum
measurement, etc. One way of doing this might be to update the local ground state initial
conditions. Another way might be to suppose that the ground state or quantum vacuum is itself in
a perennial near infinite superposition state. Does one quantum measurement wipe out all
information about previous measurements?

Quantum fluctuations mediate the closeness of coincidence of competing fermionic states. How
is Pauli Exclusion and Bose Inclusion related to the phenomena of constructive and destructive
interference.

In the absence of the electron, the vacuum is free to experience a fluctuation in its energy, dE
vac
at
the particular spacetime coordinate in question (well, really we must consider the values of /\}, } =
radius of a 3-sphere, and /\t for real fermions when applying the Pauli Exclusion Principle to both
real and virtual particles). If a real electron is present, say within some crystal lattice, its
energy of fluctuation, rather than manifesting itself as the brief appearance (and then
disappearance) of a virtual e+e- pair, manifests itself as the raising and lowering of the real
electron, already occupying one of the distinct quantum states available to the crystal, between two
distinct energy levels of the crystal and resulting in the exchange with the crystal of a virtual
photon by the real electron.

A generalization of the Pauli exclusion principle would be the following. Rather than just a
given fermion totally excluding, i.e., excluding with a probability of 1.0, the simultaneous and
coincident occupancy by an identical fermion of a quantum state characterized by a set of discrete
eigenvalues with respect to a complete commuting set of observables, we would speak more
generally instead of this exclusion falling between 0 and 1.0 along the spatiotemporal overlapping
of the wavefunctions of the two fermions in questions.

The undifferentiated position and time uncertainties say where a particle could be found but
without providing information about the probabilities of the particle being found within various
sub-intervals within these overall uncertainties.

By accelerating we can shrink the spacelike component of the spacetime trajectory to our
destination, but only by at the same time, of course, lengthening the timelike component of this
interval. What we cannot do is the converse of this: change our state of motion in such a way
that the spacelike and timelike components of my trip are lengthened and contracted, respectively.

Teleportation, if it is not to be mere propagation in disguise, must be effectively the disappearance
of an object at A and the reappearance of the very same object at B. But this seemingly
defining requirement for teleportation cannot possibly be met for quantum particles which, if
similar, must be indistinguishable in quantum theory. Because a teleported particle possesses
no timelike component in its spacetime trajectory, the particle must in some important and relevant
capacity already exist at point B just prior to the teleportation of the identical particle at A.
January
2013
It is clear that the information that is teleported is that encoded in the spectrum of quantum
fluctuations composing the Heisenberg quantum observables uncertainty transferred. Not
circumscribed by the limit on a speed of propagation of causal influences, i.e., speed of light, the
kind of information transferred during quantum teleportation likely cannot be intersubjectively
definable. This points up a metaphysical no mans land between objective and intersubjective, a
kind of interzone in which the ineffable integrity of a unified self is maintained.

So the teleportation of a particle does not entail the creation of a particle at B, merely that the
required quantity of energy be available at B or within a region defined by the 3-sphere centered
about B (/\},}/\h,}sinh/\v) within a time interval centered about the moment of the particle being
destroyed at A or rather, about the centroid of the uncertain time interval within which the event
of the destruction of the particle at A actually took place.

We must make a key distinction here between teleporting, copying, and propagating. Two
fundamentally distinct paradigms inform the question of teleportation, embodied in two very
different methods copying from the outside in versus copying from the inside out. Any
structure of higher resolution than that dictated by the Heisenberg uncertainty principle shall be
imposed by the process upon the object to be teleported. In the method according to the 2
nd

paradigm, the object imposes its fine structure, if you will, upon the teleportation process.


A test particle at potential Phi(B) has angular momentum perpendicular to the x-ict plane
(according to a right hand rule?) relative to the origin of a coordinate system based at a potential
Phi(A). In what direction does this angular momentum vector point?

What is the difference between a linear succession of virtual e+e- pair creation/annihilation events
which represents the propagation of a real photon from a similar linear succession of e+e- events
that represents only the passage of a virtual photon?

Light intro stuff: The thought of timelike vectors or vectors oriented along the time axis should
easily make sense to the average person. We can look forward, for example, in time just as we
look out into space. The time axis is aptly described as imaginary.

Electrical interactions of particles on the spin [only in the relativistic regime], c.f., p. 230, vol. 3 of
Landau and Lifshitz. This suggests that any electromagnetic basis for gravity is itself based in
spin interactions.

The very reason for the existence of spin is relativity. J = L + S.

The, e.g., photon population in the final state stimulates the transition of more electrons/ positrons
into this same state (resonance phenomenon here, e.g., lasing). This inclusion principle applies
equally well to virtual photons and virtual electrons/ positrons. This implies that the vacuum
does have, for example, a bound structure of virtual e+e- continually undergoing transitions in
energy.

Two mechanisms of exclusion (a la Pauli) are at work here, however. Decreased probability
density rate of creation/ annihilation of e+e-s of particular arbitrary energy, and decreased
availability of quantum energy states due to occupancy of these states by real fermions within
bulk material.

It is significant that all quantum mechanical operators may be alternately expressed as linear
combinations of creation and annihilation operators.

If the vacuum has time to respond, i.e., adiabatically equilibrate itself during accelerations, then no

develop and the momentum and energy uncertainties of the
quantum vacuum remain equal to the corresponding free space fluctuation values of these
quantities.

When a test particle is in free fall and following a spacetime geodesic, the stress terms in its local

The quantum vacuum is not a thermal system within any Lorenz frame and therefore possesses no
definable entropy, only acquiring entropy within an accelerated frame. A thermal vacuum, i.e.,
an accelerated vacuum, can cause decoherence of a quantum superposition. By possessing
entropy, the vacuum lacks certain information. Gravity thermal vacuum decoherence.

Casimir pressure and Casimir energy density as spacelike and timelike manifestations of the
vacuums momentum-energy tensor. Matter can be viewed as simply vacuum boundary
conditions with the dynamics of a quantum system being that of the vacuum subject to boundary
conditions supplied by the presence of real particles and fields.

Because an energy fluctuation in the form of a creation/annihilation of a virtual e+e- pair possesses
spin 0, it cannot trigger an atomic transition involving a change in angular momentum if the atom
is blocked from emitting (spontaneously) a photon into a mode of appropriate quantum numbers if

Does a transformation of an e+e+ pair into an e-e- pair always involve passing through the e+e-
state.

Matter itself provides the ideal boundary conditions to modify the vacuum statistics within its
bulk, resonance structure, so as to dilate time uniformly within its bulk. Casimir plates merely
selectively induce probability rates of specific processes.

For a photon, /\L = /\S, and when exposed as e+e-, e+e+, or e-e-, or admixtures, i.e., superpositions
of these, the variation in the component of spin of the photon in a particular coordinate direction
can be as much as 1h.

The distribution of spin amongst all of the virtual particles within the vacuum determines both the
distribution of momentum-energy and the geometry of spacetime so that momentum-energy and
position-time are related by Einsteins equations through a correlation of these via the spin
statistics connection of real and virtual particles/fields.

A photon is slowed in a gravitational field due to spending more time as a particular virtual e+e-
pair in which the e+ and e- exchange virtual photons (3-momentum fluctuations) with each other
and less time being resorbed and reemitted in a linear succession of every new virtual e+e- pairs
( energy or imaginary momentum fluctuations).

A photon is accelerated (relative to its velocity in vacuo) when travelling perpendicularly to
parallel casimir plates due to spending less time as a particular virtual e+e- pair in which the
virtual e+ and e- exchange virtual photons (3-momentum fluctuations) with each other and more
time being resorbed and reemitted in a linear succession of ever new virtual e+e- pairs (energy or
imaginary momentum fluctuations).

Similar observations can be made about the delay in the recreation of fermions (by exchange of
real matter fermions with the virtual (antimatter) fermions within created/annihilated virtual
fermion-antifermion pairs due to these real fermions spending some time exchanging virtual
bosons with other real fermions (neighboring), c.f., cellular automata theory.

A thermal reservoir composed of fermions will emit particles into available quantum states, i.e.,
modes, in a phase space-filling process that is governed by the Pauli Exclusion Principle. A
thermal boson reservoir will emit particles into available modes of phase space through a process
mediated by Bose-Einstein statistics, through either stimulated or spontaneous emission. The
particle number fluctuation functions of each thermal emission process is described by the

The Pauli Exclusion Principle applies to the occupation of cells within phase space by fermions.
The question arises as to what is the structure of these cells to which the Pauli principle applies.
Does time-energy, position momentum, or some other structure define these cells? Or are these
cells addressed by the four angular momentum uncertainties, /\L

Due to the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle (HUP), these cells in phase space cannot possess
infinitesimal phase space volume. We can use the additional relation,

/\Pj/\Xj > h and

The expectation values, <Xi> and <Pi> , together address the centroid of each cell,

/\Pj/\Xj when i = j.

It has already been stated as a working hypothesis that vacuum momentum fluctuations and
vacuum energy fluctuations may be combined together into a conserved 4-vector of fluctuation
momentum-energy. Let us examine what possible conserved quantities are available to
consider.

The speed of light increases between casimir plates due to an increase in the probability rate of
production of virtual e+e- pairs between the plates. The e+e- virtual pair creation/annihilation
events are how the energy uncertainty between the plates in the modified vacuum manifests itself
as energy fluctuations. So the decrease in momentum fluctuations, virtual photon exchanges
between the plates, is offset by a corresponding increase in energy fluctuations between the plates
in the form of virtual scalar particle exchanges between the modified vacuum and the four
dimensional quantum vacuum.

The substance of any given relative 3 + 1 vacuum state is an absolute 4-vacuum. These two
vacua continually exchange energy with one another.



The linear density of virtual e+e- virtual pairs is increased although photon wavelengths are
unchanged, resulting in higher frequency and same wavelength, i.e., a greater value of c. This
is explained by a greater probability rate for energy-compatible (or what is called resonant)
virtual e+e- virtual pairs being created and annihilated along the photons trajectory between the
Casimir plates. The concept of resonance is pervasive within physics and there are myriad
instances of concept of resonance in almost all branches of physics.

In the above paragraph we have an example of resonance-tuning. By altering the
electromagnetic boundary conditions of the quantum vacuum electromagnetic field through the
use of simple Casimir rectangular plates, one has succeeded in modifying the free space vacuum
by altering this vacuums resonance structure. Alternately, virtual photons of a given
energy/frequency within this modified quantum vacuum are no longer described by a virtual e+e-
pairs of energy, E = hc / lambda or, no longer resonate with virtual e+e-s of energy, hc/lambda.
We speculate that the change introduced to the vacuums resonance spectrum is confined to the
volume contained within the world hypervolume defined by the casimir plate geometry over time.
If this is indeed the case, then the change to the probability rate of virtual e+e- pairs being created
and annihilated within the geometry of the casimir plates is only for those pairs possessing
half-wavelength smaller than the plates separation. Here is the conceptual difficulty:
although the density of vacuum electromagnetic photons within the plates geometry has been
effectively decreased, the density of vacuum e+e- pairs being created and annihilated within this
same geometry is increased. The idea behind these two allegedly related vacuum effects is that
of the conservation of momentum-energy or 4-momentum density with all possible
(self-consistent) hypervolumes. A simplistic way to understand this phenomenon where the
above casimir geometry is concerned, which is not, I believe, fundamentally misguided, is the
following. The amount of energy (in the form of photons) that has been excluded from the
casimir plate geometry is made up for by an exactly offsetting increase in the density of virtual
photons of energies falling within the frequency spectrum, hc/lambda, where lambda < 2 x
distance between the plates, d
casimir.
E <> hc/

So in a given interval of time, say, for convenience here, d
casimir
/c, where c is the normal value of
the speed of light in vacuo, the linear probability density of virtual e+e- creation/annihilation
events along an axis perpendicular to the plates and contained well within the geometry described
by said plates (in order to be able to ignore electromagnetic fringe effects) is enhanced above its
free space value. So a real photon introduced from one end of the plate geometry with
momentum, h/, directed perpendicular to the plates and possessing a frequency greater than hc/
where, again, is less than twice the value of d
casimir
, shall, on account of the enhanced linear
density of resonant e+e- virtual pairs created and annihilated along the photons perpendicular
path, reach the metal plate at the opposite end of the casimir geometry sooner than would have
been implied by the simple equation, E= pc. This equation is, in fact, no longer valid within the
modified vacuum of the volume described by the casimir plate geometry. But some equation
reminiscent of E

+ p

. Only by introducing an imaginary mass component to the
photon that is sufficiently, offsettingly large may the simultaneous increase (above that of c in
vacuo) is permitted for the real photons velocity perpendicular to the casimir plates. Now it is
suggested that performing a modification to the vacuums resonant structure opposite in sense to
that described above, we shall succeed in imbuing the affected particle (that confined to the
vacuum thus modified) with a real as opposed to imaginary mass! This suggests that bound
configurations of matter particles, i.e., fermions, by enhancing the probability (in comparison with
the free space vacuum) of the mutual exchange of force mediating photons, suppress at the same
time the probability current density of virtual e+e- pairs within the bulk of the matter distribution
in question, resulting in a reduced local velocity of light and the appearance of real mass.

However, we must consider that the density of radiation in the form of virtual photons and other
bosons is likewise decreasing with cosmological expansion and according to basic astrophysics,
the density of radiation decreases with the inverse 4
th
power. This to the contrary implies that the
velocity of light is actually increasing with cosmological expansion.
October 2011
This is similar to
the underlying explanation of the anomalous sunward acceleration noted for a number of deep
space probes from the 1970s as owing to a mismatch of actual, local cosmologically expanding
and projected (static,
voc=
Ephemeris) reference frames within which the acceleration of the space
probes is reckoned in accordance with classical mechanics + negligible relativistic corrections.
Except in this instance, the rate of cosmological expansion is reckoned within a uniformly
expanding reference frame where the speed of light is assumed constant though in which, the
speed of light is actually increasing with the cosmological expansion on account of a progressive
shift in the relative densities of spin 1 and composite spin 0 bosons, which of course mimics the
reverse situation for how these relative densities in the two species of virtual bosons changes with
an increasing gravitational potential.

Here we may indeed have a ready explanation for dark energy and the accelerating cosmological
expansion and may also have an explanation for dark matter, since general relativistic time dilation
would be greatest for the greatest relative accumulations of matter, i.e., in galaxies, c.f.,
Feynmanns
voc=
parton bag model. It appears that the accelerated cosmological expansion
occurs within a background three dimensional Euclidean space, which implies that the observed
effects of relativity are due to properties of the expanding vacuum and not of the background space
(background vacuum).
@$
Absolute space and time in other words exist in the background of our
apparent expanding spacetime so that the physics of special and general relativity are now
appreciated as merely properties of a simulated physics.

Is it possible that a physical process, e.g., fundamental particle or interaction might one
day be discovered, which fits into the order of the cosmos solely due to its satisfaction of some
anthropic cosmological imperative? A candidate example of such a process is that represented
by what is termed dark matter. Dark matter only interacts with the rest of the particles and
processes of the universe via gravitation and appears to serve no other purpose than to enhance the
gravitational stability of large scale aggregations of normal matter, which were absolutely
necessary for the formation of the first stars and for the integrity of galactic and higher order
gravitational structures. If a spacetime wormhole structure amenable to exploitation for
interstellar travel is ever discovered, it appears likely that dark matter shall play an indispensable
role in the stability of this cosmic transportation infrastructure. Whatever appears on the surface
to possess only an anthropic cosmological purpose must upon deeper investigation be revealed to
be a manifestation of the integral nature of the cosmos at the most fundamental level. This
notion is of course consistent with the Eastern mystic view of the individual as an immanent
manifestation of transcendental, i.e., duality-transcending deity. The anthropic cosmological
principle taken in earnest in its full metaphysical implications, effectively makes Man the
fundamental or God particle of the cosmos. If true, then the search for a bona fide God particle,
e.g., Higgs boson is likely to prove a fruitless one.

We may be able to interpret the creation and annihilation of virtual e+e- pairs as the exchange of
supraliminal photons of imaginary mass by the same bound structure of matter with itself at two
different times. The difference between these two times constitutes a time interval defined by
Plancks constant divided by the energy of the e+e- virtual pair in question, i.e., h/E
e+e-
.

Without the presence of mass or any dynamic independent of the quantum vacuum as a whole, this
vacuum is free to communicate with all past and future versions of itself.
@$
The appearance of
any momentum-energy within this vacuum which is not already eternally prefigured within it,
disrupts the delicate structure of this temporally integrated and pristine vacuum state.

The collapse of a system wavefunction not only wipes out all contending eigenfunctions excepting
one, distributed throughout instantaneous space, but also wipes out one set of probable histories
for the system with another. Now the communication of mutually exclusive eigenfunctions
may be equivalent to the communication of the system as a whole with itself in the immediate
future/immediate past.

Concerning the phenomenon of the appearance of a force between the casimir plates which
tends to push them together, we may give an interpretation in terms of a magnetic force. With
the decrease in the vacuum electromagnetic field between the plates together with an increase in
the probability current density of virtual e+e- pairs, also between the plates, we might suppose that,
in the case of a static configuration of plates, that it is an imbalance in the static magnetic force
between the plates that actually is responsible in pushing them together. Can the force between
the plates be interpreted as being due to the appearance of a surface density of charge upon the
plates?







For some particle or field to act as a gravitational source, it must be possible for a test particle to be
accelerated relative to this source in such a manner that their velocity through time may be made
equal.

Is the velocity of a mass through proper time, i.e., its 4-velocity while at rest determined by the
vector sum of the rest mass times the velocity along its proper time axis with the product of this
mass with the relative velocity of in-falling vacuum energy? And can this be equivalently
described in terms of the relative magnitudes of the quantum vacuum timelike and spacelike
current densities?

It is the effect of matter upon the quantum vacuum of rotating the vacuum momentum current
density from being virtually purely timelike to being less timelike and more spacelike through
increase the spacelike current density while decreasing the timelike current density. And exact
match in the in-fall and out-fall rates of the quantum vacuum energy would mean that the net
cosmological expansion is zero. A slight imbalance in the above in-fall rates would translate
to a local time of the free space vacuum that is somewhat retarded relative to the rate of
passage of cosmical time. This implies that the universe possesses an overall net mass. An
accelerating cosmic expansion rate (relative to cosmic time) would imply a decrease in the rate of
local time relative to the rate of cosmic time. The practical upshot of this is that the local
velocity of light is decreasing with cosmic time. This would seem to imply that matter is being
created out of the vacuum with the course of cosmological expansion.

We may think of the matter this way: a photon may either pass through a dielectric medium
without interacting with it or it may be absorbed by this medium with the production of the
appropriate transition between energy levels of this dielectric material (assuming this medium
possesses a perfect crystalline structure). We may assume that the virtual transitions
continually occurring to the vacuums energy are always in tandem with the absorption by this
vacuum of virtual bosons, e.g., photons so that a decrease in the density of energy transitions in
vacuum ( per unit time) must be associated with either an increase in the, e.g., photon, flux density
or in the current density of spacelike momentum fluctuations, i.e., exchanges of, e.g., virtual
photons between components of a, e.g., dielectric medium (other than the quantum vacuum itself).

The vacuum acts as a reference frame in a number of senses, but not in the usual sense of
reference frame invoked in elementary discussion of special relativity. One such sense is the
role of the vacuum as providing the ground and medium (both) for all forms of
resonance/sympathetic inter-action of quantum mechanical systems (which is to say, all physical
systems). The role of the quantum vacuum as resonance medium/ ground for conscious states
shall be discussed later). Moreover, the vacuum distinguishes virtual from real components of
quantum mechanical systems by only entering into complete resonance with a system of virtual
particles/fields. The resonance of the vacuum with real quantum mechanical systems is always
damped.

Keywords for websearch: damping, resonance, transmission, potential, barrier, tunneling,
imaginary, momentum, negative kinetic energy, etc.

Look at tunneling rates versus transmission times. If all particles are tunneling through a
4-hyperspherical potential energy barrier at near the speed of light, then particles are normally
near vacuum resonance. When the velocity of tunneling of matter particles is reduced
significantly relative to the free space value of c, then we say that the particles are far away from
vacuum resonance and the probability (rate) of their tunneling is greatly reduced below the free
space resonant value of the tunneling rate for this particle (as a virtual particle there is perfect
vacuum resonance and maximal tunneling probability rate, i.e., the virtual particle is moving at
the speed of light (in vacuo) along the cosmic time axis. Of course, what causes matter to
possess less than perfect resonance with the local quantum vacuum is the presence of competing
resonant processes taking place within the bulk of the matter.

The cosmological redshift quantization and the accelerated cosmological expansion are two
manifestations of a single underlying energy structure of the universe. This appears as an
exponentially increasing, oscillatory solution to a differential equation, suggesting that the kinetic
energy of expansion and the gravitational potential energy of the universe are not, in fact, precisely
balanced (so-called flat space solution), but the hyperspherical potential energy barrier is larger
than the kinetic energy imparted to matter by the big bang. The frequency of the oscillatory
solution should indicate how closely matched the kinetic energy of expansion is to the energy of
the hyperspherical potential.


What would a topological analysis of the concept of pure temporality reveal? Can there be
temporality without spatiality? No, because there must always be breaking into any time line
that attempts to establish itself and these disruptions always come from perpendicular to this
would-be timeline. Spatial dimension is a deterministic time dimension, c.f., concept of three
dimensional time (physics eprint archive/ gr-qc). Self organization is only an appearance or
representation within a deterministic state space, but can actually exist within an open system.
Investigate the concept of an open system , which is closed with respect to some other open
system.

The Schrodingers Cat experiment can be modified so that we are not dealing with a superposition
of a dead cat and a live one, but in which we are dealing with a superposition of two distinct states
of a single conscious human individual. (The latter case we can consider later, in which we have
a superposition of two distinct persons, say, where, depending upon which of an equiprobable
two-state radioactive transition occurs, either person A or person B enters and seals himself in
some kind of isolation chamber.)
But I insist that these are two radically different types of quantum superposition. The point
here, however, is that quantum mechanics does not recognize a distinction between these two
types of superposition, one, which is a superposition of two different states of the same person,
and, two, a superposition of two distinct persons! Does this mean that we can never look to
quantum mechanics for a solution to the question, Why am I me rather than that guy over there?
For in this gedanken experiment, we have two cases of superpositions or eigenstates with respect
to what we presume for purposes of argument are quantum observables. But what type of
observables are we referring to here? Mustnt observables be at least intersubjectively defined
within quantum mechanics? And yet we intuitively see that these consciousness observables,
and their eigen-states are of fundamentally distinct types I would say the most fundamentally
distinct conceivable! So we see that quantum mechanics cannot form the basis of a Theory of
Everything because it cannot possibly take into account the distinctness of individual
consciousness, partly because quantum observables must be intersubjectively defined so that what
we might call infra-subjectivity, that is, subjectivity itself, is prior to the critical notion of quantum
observable, and hence, to physical theory as such.

In this case, the necessity for spontaneous collapse of superposed quantum states at some
mesoscopic scale, i.e., somewhere between the subatomic and the macroscopic, forcefully presents
itself for consideration. On the one hand, the individual does always (when awake) appear to be
in some constant state of his own individual consciousness, regardless of how his mood and state
of mind might otherwise change or fluctuate. And so there seems to be some reason for
supposing that the general state of an individuals being conscious is an eigenstate with respect to
some kind of quantum observable or other. But if we admit this seemingly unproblematic idea,
then we must also consider what is to be meant by Heisenberg uncertainty with respect to such a
quantum observable as is represented by the individuals general consciousness. The spectrum
of consciousness, if you will, represented by such a quantum uncertainty, if a discrete spectrum,
cannot be consistently thought to be one composed of the distinct consciousness eigenstates of
distinct individuals. This is because the general consciousness of each distinct individual is
represented as the eigenstate with respect to a distinct quantum observable. Of course, the
concept of ones individual consciousness being a quantum observable, observable only by
himself, as well as the implication that the individual can somehow be thought of as separate from
his own individual consciousness such that it makes some sense to speak of him observing his own
state of consciousness, is rather ludicrous, one is forced to admit. So the idea of other peoples
consciousnesss being observables for me as well as the notion of my own consciousness being an
observable for me are both inconsistent and, hence, untenable concepts.

The greatest possible energy uncertainty is represented by the Planck mass, m
pl
=
hc
/
G
. Any
energy larger than this cannot exist as a virtual particle or field (state), but must be real and
measurable. Paradoxically, a time eigenstate, (were the concept of time as a quantum observable
admissible in this theory) would correspond to a system in which time both stands still and
moves infinitely fast. The question arises, what energy uncertainty must a given quantum
mechanical system possess in order for it to move through time at the speed of light? It is
interesting that /\E of a quantum mechanical system is responsible for the systems temporal
evolution (apart from changes in the system phase) which interactions between the brain and a
nonlocally connected /\E is beginning to be thought to mediate consciousness, which may be
otherwise thought of in Kantian terms as the intuition of time.

Now Schrodinger gets devious. He puts the radioactive atom, a detector, a hammer, a poison
bottle into a cage with a cat in it. . .

Is it the cats conscious brain back-reacting upon the vacuum which the radioactive atom
interacts with which causes the decoherence/prevents a live cat/dead cat superposition from
forming? Or is it just that the mass of the cat is greater than the Planck mass?

Because of the nature of nonlocal connections as being superluminally connected, we may say that
all nonlocal connections are only correlations independently of the observer. Do we mean here
that nonlocal connections only exist if they are seen? (for the nonlocal connection that we are
saying existed previously to our knowledge could have itself propagated backwards in time)

The time travel (grandfather paradox) is only insoluble if we assume that there is physical
continuity between myself in the present and myself in the time and place at which I perpetrate my
grandfathers murder.

What is the meaning, if any, of nonlocally connected influences propagating? To trigger the
manifestation of nonlocal connections is to back-react upon the ground of the phenomena of the
physical system concerned perhaps even to back-react upon ones own ground.


Loose speculation concerning the relationships of gravity, topology, and degeneracy:


Does an individual mind constitute a gravitational equivalence class of degenerate topologies?
Does the effect of conscious observers upon prepared quantum systems, in the sense of inducing
wavefunction collapse, have a basis in topology? Are time and space separable and absolute
solely in systems composed only of topological equivalence classes defined by a particular
gravitational degeneracy, which may be viewed as a special case of quantum energy degeneracy in
which temporality of the system is distinct from the temporality of a global quantum system which
is itself nondegenerate? Is this the origin of subjective versus objectively real temporality?
Are all infinite sets of continuously energy degenerate quantum systems temporally orthogonal
with respect to all other such infinite sets?

Is the value of the cosmological constant so small despite an enormous vacuum energy density due
to this vacuum energy being overwhelmingly degenerate such that the transformations of its
wavefunction do not possess real physical temporality and so do not represent a spatiotemporal
momentum distribution of real energy?

A 360 degree rotation introduces a twist into the topology of either the object or the embedding
space of the object. Now what do we have to assume occurs at the quantum level within the
substance of the rotated object which prevents this twist from occurring, ie.., preserves the
topology? The principle of preservation of topology for macroscopic objects and their
kinematics. Topological fluctuations which are coherently interconnected so to maintain a zero
net change in the expectation value of the topology of the embedding space of the metric. How
does this fact of the relationship of topology and rotation within three spatial dimensions affect our
consideration of general four dimensional spacetime rotations? Might inertia originate out of a
Lorenz type force, but one more general than one possessing merely an electromagnetic origin?
Might acceleration of a mass result in such a gravitational Lorenz-type force through this
accelerations interaction with the interconnected matrix of macroscopic topological preserving
quantum fluctuations in spacetime topology necessitated by a four dimensional generalization of
the topology theorem alluded to above? or rather, by the topological elasticity responsible for
these compensating quantum fluctuations in spacetime topology? Could a four dimensional
statement of Gauss Law, or generalization of ideas taken from the three dimensional derivation of
the equivalence of its surface and volume expressions, be utilized in motivating a proof of a four
dimensional generalization of the three dimensional rotation/twist theorem stated above?

The nonlinearity of general relativity may lie behind the cosmological constant problem. If
gravity is a truly universal force in the sense of sustaining the equivalence principle, then we
would expect the quantum vacuum to generally mediate the gravitational interaction, rather than a
particular exchange particle, i.e., graviton.

Time may be likened to a CPU clock while motion of coherent structures is a combination of linear
and feedback, i.e., circular binary calculations. The competition between feedback binary and
CPU binary operations (by which coherent structures are refreshed or updated the CPU clock
rate constitutes the refresh rate for non-cohesive pixel sets; for cohesive pixel sets, the refresh
rate for the structure is less than the CPU clock rate) may be likened to special and general
relativistic effects, respectively.

Higgs boson as a particle physics metaphorical particle. Photon mass determined by gravitational
size, i.e., black hole radius of the Universe and would be related to the breakdown of perfect
Lorenz invariance.

What type of new conservation principle is pointed to by supersymmetry?

Dynamical symmetry breaking requires a composite Higgs particle, perhaps virtual Cooper pairs
of fermion/ antifermion pairs. Supersymmetry entails several Higgs bosons, perhaps all of the
various types of virtual fermion/antifermion pairs which are manifestations of the fundamental
energy fluctuations of the quantum vacuum.

Spin appears to be the most ubiquitous property of particles, both matter particles as well as the
particles responsible for mediating all of the fundamental forces of nature. Spin is an essential
consideration in all interactions among subatomic particles. So the equivalence principle should
be consistent with a spin-based theory of quantum gravity, rather than an electromagnetic-based
theory such as that put forward by Haisch, Rueda, and Puthoff. In fact, the spin of a planet is
the sum of the spins and angular momenta of all its elementary particles. But can angular
momentum itself be ultimately reducible to subatomic particle spins?

How is the behavior of a spacelike separated collection of energy fluctuations, which are
nonlocally connected distinct in their collective behavior from such a set, which exhibit the same
behavior, but without this connection? Without the nonlocal connection the collective behavior
of these fluctuations is only identical to that of the former in a single reference frame. This
reminds us of comparing light propagating through luminiferous ether compared to its manner of
propagation within a Lorenz-invariant vacuum.

Mass is conserved in pre-relativity physics. In relativity theory mass and energy are
interconvertible. But energy is conserved in relativity theory ( special theory, at least), while
energy is not conserved in quantum theory. The question perhaps arises here, into what is
energy interconvertible which accounts for the breakdown of conservation of energy within
quantum mechanics?

Everetts relative state interpretation of quantum measurement seems to invoke the existence of a
kind of hypertime dimension. Just as the integration of the time dimension with those of space
explained the nonconservation of mass, perhaps the incorporation of Everetts hypertime
dimension with that of four dimensional spacetime will account for the nonconservation of energy
within standard quantum theory.

What is the real purpose of the laser interferometric gravitational observatory (LIGO) which has
been built in Livingston Parish, Louisiana, if not to detect gravitational waves generated by
supernovae, colliding blackholes, etc? Might this facility be used to detect gravity waves
generated by extraterrestrial warp engines? It would be much easier to detect locally occurring
alien propulsion than astronomically distant astrophysical processes. Using the Drake equation,
combined with some other intelligent assumptions about advanced extraterrestrial civilizations
and the typical frequency density of supernovae, might we be able to show that there is much
greater likelihood of detecting alien spaceships?

By the way, my stab at answering
the Fermi Paradox is that, all of our immediate interstellar neighbors are inhabited by highly
developed civilizations and have told those still more (remote from us) advanced extraterrestrials
visiting them, dont worry about the inhabitants of the Sol System; they still live just on their
home planet and arent even close to developing the resources of their planetary system in order
for us to be able to profitably trade with them. Presumably it was long ago realized by the older,
more advanced civilizations of the galaxy that the economic cost of gaining raw materials from a
neighboring system is much lower once one has a nave native host with which to trade. Just
imagine here Europeans trading worthless trinkets for the gold of nave Mesoamerican natives.

Real particles as solitons in the locally connected quantum vacuum momentum-energy field. By
viewing virtual particles within the vacuum as being themselves solitons in the nonlocally
connected vacuum field, we are admitting the existence of forms of matter and energy more
fundamental than the particles and fields treated in the standard model of particle physics.

What is the quantum conjugate quantity, which should be paired with information, conceived as a

the other conjugate quantity serving merely as a bookkeeping or accounting variable?



Dynamically interacting vacua, each of which is an open system. How do these vacua mutually
interfere constructively with one another in the absence of a closed system of feedback? Within
a closed system of feedback there is a back and forth exchange of energy, but no
communication. (Only context free data are exchanged) However, in the interaction of two or
more open systems, stable and persisting structures can only be created and sustained through
communication and cooperation between these various systems. The individual fluctuations of
energy which collectively comprise /\E may not be thought to be evolving in time as /\E is what
determines /\t, which, in turn, defines the time scale of dynamical processes within the system.
Spacetime is a projection based upon the expectation values of time and position. The field
equations relate the expectation value of the spacetime curvature to the expectation value of the
momentum-energy density. This is a formal relationship, which is concretely underpinned by
the physical connection between the fluctuations in momentum and energy to the fluctuations in
position and time. Fluctuations in time are not merely fluctuations in the position in time at
which a particular event occurs. Otherwise, an absolute time would have to be assumed and
which would served as a backdrop for these fluctuations in the timing of events.



The imaginary momentum of a particle tunneling within 3-space suggests a purely timelike motion
for a particle moving along a spacelike interval. This is a case of a particle being only an
information-based representation. Quantum tunneling may be mediated exclusively via
nonlocally connected quantum fields. This also suggests that the particle, while tunneling at
least, possesses no continuous existence while it is within the potential energy barrier possessing a
negative kinetic energy.

Is there a single mathematical function that connects all possible numbers, real, imaginary, matrix,
fractal, surreal, etc.?

There is the temporality of the sustaining of form and then the temporality of transformation of
forms. Mass, length and time effects of relativity are distinct but related, depending upon when
one treats accelerated motion or not. The temporality of the sustainment of the structure of
spacetime is a temporality not incorporated into the spacetime itself.

Clearly the timelike momentum of objects on a spacetime surface is connected with its motion
through and along this hypersurface. Compare the oppositions of prepositions on versus
by with through versus along. Time dilation and Hubble constant contraction is
determined by the ration of mass to black hole (perhaps also vacuum) density. Reconcile this
with a H**2/8piG cosmic mass density. Black hole entropy suggests that black hole density
should be proportional to 1/R**2 or to black hole surface area, c.f., cellular automata-based
theories of relativity. The matter and vacuum momentum current densities are reduced by this
time dilation or Hubble frequency contraction factor.

The circular motion, feedback through 3-momentum exchanges, is converted to linear
3-momentum directed along a single axis. When the propellant is in its inert form,
3-momentum is virtual and directed along all three spatial axes. When a mass is accelerated
from rest to some velocity, v, its mass and length locally, relativistically change, but the quantum
vacuum undergoes a global relativistic change in its energy density (during the acceleration). A
Lorenz transformation has no effect upon the energy density of the quantum vacuum, as can be
mathematically demonstrated for a vacuum with energy density proportional to frequency**3.

It appears at least superficially that the density of mass is increased by a factor of gamma**2 as a
result of a Lorenz transformation. How do we explain the single gamma factor involved in time
dilation, given the proposed cellular automata model or relativity, in this case?

Since the vacuum does not obey the Lorenz symmetry group, we might say that gravitation breaks
the Lorenz symmetry of the quantum vacuum. We must conclude that the momentum-energy
density of the vacuum is unaffected by a Lorenz transformation, in agreement with what theory
predicts for an energy field with a directly proportional frequency**3 dependence.

Clearly the vacuum possessing a gravitational field loses its the proportional to frequency**3
energy density dependence! Hence, the gravitational field is at least partly based in spatial or
spatiotemporal variations in the vacuums energy density.

There is nothing remarkable about coincidences from a probabilistic standpoint as they inevitably
happen given sufficient number of distinct settings and a sufficient amount of time.

A Lorenz transformation causes a specific, coordinated change in both vacuum frequency and
wavenumber. The strict proportional to frequency**3 dependence is lost due to presence of a
new proportional to wavenumber**3 component. All of the vacuums momentum is timelike
and none of its momentum is spacelike, hence the lack of wavenumber dependence. A
gravitating body must possess some spacelike momentum (in the form of exchanges of
force-mediating virtual bosons) and this costs the mass some of its timelike (or imaginary)
momentum. This prevents the energy density of the vacuum from being purely dependent upon
the frequency since this dependency presupposes a constant relationship between frequency and
wavenumber through the constancy of the speed of light. However, the speed of light is not a
constant within general relativity, i.e., where gravitational fields are present. In other words,
saying that the energy density of the vacuum is directly proportional to the cube of frequency is, in
Minkowski or flat space that this energy density is proportional to the cube of the product of the
velocity of light and the wavenumber. In a gravitational field, the velocity of light is not a
constant, but can vary spatially throughout the field (and by the relativity principle, the velocity of
light should also vary temporally since there is no objective decomposition of spacetime into
separate space and time components). A given frequency of vacuum electromagnetic field
fluctuation is given in free space (in the absence of a gravitational field) by just the velocity of light
multiplied by the wavenumber of the fluctuation. In a gravitational field this frequency is given
by the product of three factors: the speed of light in vacuum, c, the wavenumber of the fluctuation,
1/lambda, and dimensionless functional with a spatial (and perhaps temporal, as well) dependence
which is determined by the spatial (and perhaps, temporal) dependence of the 16 gravitational
potentials, i.e., the metric components, specified by the Einstein field equations. A Lorenz
transformation alters frequency and wavenumber in a complementary manner to which it alters
time and length. So although a Lorenz transformation alters the vacuums frequency, it also alters
the vacuums wavenumber producing a null net effect on the energy density. So in a
gravitational field the density of the quantum vacuum is proportional to the cube of the vacuum
electromagnetic field fluctuation frequency provided that the above functional is itself invariant
under a Lorenz transformation. This is only possible if the multiplication of this functional
generally represents a transformation, which forms at least a subgroup of the Lorenz
transformation group. This is not possible because the Lorenz group is itself a subgroup of the
Diffeomorphism group of general relativistic coordinate transformations.



All conserved dynamical variables are purely timelike in free space. Inertia and gravitation are
phenomena associated with the projection of these timelike four vectors into spacelike
components. An important question here is whether there is a conserved four potential. Does
the creation of spacelike components of four potential induce a change in the timelike four
potential so that the sum of time and spacelike components of some new four potential vectorially
sum to produce a new four potential with the same magnitude as the inertial free space four
potential.


It has been suggested that the ubiquitous and collectively enormous energy fluctuations of the
quantum vacuum are scattered echoes, virtually infinite in number, of the initial scattering, or
shattering, explosion of the Big Bang, itself thought to have originated in a vacuum fluctuation of
statistically infinitesimal probability.

In nonrelativistic physics, any linear momentum can be transferred away via an appropriate
Galilean transformation. This is not the ease with angular momentum because this is motion not
taking place within an inertial frame. In relativity, the 3-momentum can only be transformed
away while preserving the total 4-momentum. /\x/\py + x/\Py + y/\Px + /\y/\Px + /\x/\Py = /\Lz

Use superposition to express Lz in four-dimensional spacetime. Necessity of quantum
mechanics within relativistic physics. /\f/\g = h/2pi, where either f or g must be a quantum
number and the other term represents a nonconserved quantity.

In the paper, The Mystery of the Cosmic Vacuum Energy Density and the Accelerated Expansion
of the Universe, it is stated that the effective cosmological constant is expected to obtain
contributions from short-distance physics, corresponding to an energy scale of at least 100 GeV.


The density of the quantum vacuum is calculated within the present quantum theory to possess a
density of approximately 10**95 kg/cm**3. This is what is called the Planck density of matter.
But for matter this density can only exist for a particular smallest spatial dimension, i.e., roughly
10**-35 meters, and for virtual matter, at this same spatial dimension but for the most fleeting
instant of around 10**-42 seconds. The difference between real and virtual Planckions here is
that in the former case all of the fluctuations are in the form of 3-momentum exchanges whereas in
the latter they are entirely in the form of 4-momentum exchanges, imaginary, and exclusively
along the time dimension. Between these two forms of Planck matter there subsists a 90-degree
hyperspatial rotation in accordance with the symmetry of the Lorenz group. There is a similar
relationship obtaining between rest mass and the collection of photons yielded up when this inert
mass is 100% converted into energy, in accordance with E = mc**2. The reason that energy
possesses mass when subject to spatiotemporal boundary conditions is that is that some of the
energy is necessarily converted into mass as a result of the boundary conditions imposed upon this
otherwise totally free energy. The reason that the black hole state equation, if you will, places
such a tight restriction upon the relationships of mass and length or, rather, density and length, in
this case, whereas this restriction is utterly absent in the case of vacuum energy, is no doubt owing
to the imposed boundary conditions. We may then think of mass as just vacuum energy with
suitably imposed boundary conditions, the dynamics of matter and vacuum being otherwise
essentially the same.

A tangled network of feedback loops of quantum vacuum fluctuation momentum-energy
constitutes the structure of matter. Feedback necessarily involves the action of memory.
There is feedback within a given data/information system and then this feedback is itself
continually being updated through nonlocal feedback with some global, distributed system. This
updating of the systems internal, dynamical feedback structures may be thought of as the
feedback of that component of the system which is globally unified with itself at different times.

Data are related synchronically while information may be thought of as data related
diachronically. Note here that the synchronic cannot become diachronic without participating in
the history of its system.



The obvious advantage from a technological standpoint to a spin-based theory of inertia and
gravitation is the potential that exists within such theories for the manipulation of inertia and
gravitation through the application of electromagnetic fields.

It is interesting how phonons are formally identical to bosons, which are responsible for the
binding together of particles into extended material structures. Phonons may be properly
understood as quanta of sound. So it is quanta of sound, i.e., phonons, which are responsible for
the extended structure of all matter. Bosons (as a kind of phonons) are responsible for
transforming timelike, nonlocally connected, unbound vacuum fluctuations (in the form of virtual
particles and fields) into spacelike, extended and locally-connected, bound configurations of real
particles. If real particles are bound together and interact with one another through the exchange
of virtual bosons, then how are virtual particles bound together and interact with one another, and
is this a meaningful question?

There seems to be an analogous relationship of the systems, consonants and vowels versus
fermions and phonons.

To calculate the binding energy of nuclear matter, one must perform a partial sum of an infinite
number of infinite terms, yielding a finite result.

We can look at the ordering relation between matter and vacuum in two possibly related ways.
The structure of matter mirrors that of the vacuum because it is constituted out of and sustained by
this vacuum from what other source could matter have derived its structure? Alternatively, we
can assume matter has an existence somehow independent of the vacuum. Here matter resides in
this vacuum and the structure of the vacuum is perturbed by the presence of matter, more
specifically, the structure of matter imposes the pattern of its structure upon that of the vacuum or
upon the structure of its pattern of fluctuating.


Two scalar densities may be equivalent up to a divergence term. A variation in a physical
quantity may always be represented as a coordinate derivative multiplied by some infinitesimal
displacement in a coordinate space. FlucA = pdA/pdXi x flucXi

Can a variation in some physical quantity, such as energy or action, be self-consistently defined
within a coordinate space which has an indeterminate or time varying topology or metric?

If we are speaking of the variation in the action integral from which the general relativistic field
equations are to be determined, then certain restrictions upon the phase space of the action are
necessarily established beforehand. Is the problem with the equivalence principle in parallel
with the difficulties with the Everett theory of quantum measurement. The two way coupling of
matter to its electromagnetic field, and vice versa, is not pervasive enough to necessitate a
nonlinear description. It is the nonlinearity of the GR field equations which seems to demand the
existence of black hole singularities.

The logical inconsistency of a time-varying space time seems to pose serious problems for
Einsteins equivalence principle. More specifically, it is the Einsteinian concept of the inertia of
energy which is at the root of the present and long-standing conflict between GR and QM,
particularly with regard to the two theories predictions of the vacuum energy density.

Invariance with respect to the local phase group is accomplished by converting all derivatives to
covariant derivatives. What would happen if a small sub-volume of the total momentum-energy
tensor field were to free fall (move along a geodesic path?) with the very spacetime determined by
this global stress-momentum-energy tensor? A related question is, is a particular
stree-momentum-energy distribution necessary to sustain the flat space Minkowski metric?
Certainly if we are limited to the context of classical relativity, the answer is no. However, in the
case where quantum vacuum zero-point fluctuations become necessary.

Since altering the zero-point of the vacuum field alters the mass of particles occupying this
vacuum, we might ask whether the gravitational and inertial masses of the particles has been
changed so as to leave the equivalence principle unharmed. The zero-point can, of course, be
shifted through imposition of electromagnetic boundary conditions upon the vacuum
electromagnetic field. The equivalence principle would have us believe that the masses of the
particles has been altered simply because the density of vacuum energy contained within the
particles has changed (decreased). We might term this a locality-based explanation for the
change in mass. We might also say that general relativitys explanation of the mass of bodies is
strictly phenomenological.



A tensor relates vector inputs and vector outputs. But what happens within the black box is
just exchanges of momentum and energy, which are vector, rather than tensor qualities. Is it
possible for tensor fields to be reducible to some system of exchanges of vector impulse
(fluctuation) quantities which merely reconfigure themselves spatially and temporally in a manner
conveniently described by 2
nd
and higher rank tensor quantities? Can all tensors be built up out
of scalar and vector operations applied to scalar and vector field quantities? Still more, can all
higher rank tensors be built up from scalar quantities, say, by adding dimensions and then
projecting higher dimensional scalar quantities down into lower dimensional, embedded spaces?

This is analogous to the case of four dimensional rotations of three dimensional objects being
equivalent (at the level of expectation values) to disassembly and reassembly of a three
dimensional object into its mirror image (enantiomorph).

The distribution of momentu-energy within free space is analogous to that of a black hole with
sliding Schwarzschild radius. The cosmological redshift contains a component which is a
function of the angular displacement of the distant bodys local time axis relative to that of the
observers local spacetime.

Atoms cannot be created out of the vacuums fluctuation in energy, c.f., Physics News Update.
Temporality of a quantum system is a measure of its vacuum resonance. In a gravitational field a
photon can no longer consistently be described as an e+e- virtual pair.

Because of the tilting of the light cone within a gravitational field (relative to a reference frame in
free space), virtual e+e- pairs manifest themselves to a small degree as real photons and to a
larger degree (determined by gamma = GM/rC**2) as virtual photons, i.e., rotation of flucE(/\E)
with respect to flucP(/\P). Stress terms, i.e., off-diagonal terms in T(j,k) indicate that p and E
in T(j,k) deviate from being mutually orthogonal.


Minimum velocity supportable by cellular automata (CA) system due to representation of time
differences between inertial frames, i.e., time dilation amount cannot be less than Tplanck.
Some information in a CA has to be bound up in memory, which is information about information,
context, time and place, of the information.





Intrinsic quantum uncertainty, what might be conveniently termed iso-uncertainty, is due to the
presence of vacuum fluctuations.

The force acting on a photon escaping from a gravitational field is just

F(photon) = d/dr c[r] fluc[p] = d/dr{c[r] h/lambda[r]} or

F(photon) = d/dr fluc[E]; f[phot] = dc[r]/dr h/lambda[r]

- c[r] h/lambda**2[r] d lambda[r]/dr

The notion of a photon moving through space at a finite speed due to the photons being
scattered along its path by virtual particles neglects the basic fact that the photon is itself
constituted from moment to moment by such vacuum fluctuations with which the photon allegedly
interacts during its travels.

Rather than a photon being absorbed and re-emitted by charged virtual fermions we say that the
photon is itself the pairing, into spin 1 complexes, of these self same charged, virtual particles.

The larger that /\E is for the quantum vacuum, the smaller is /\t, which may be understood as the
minimum time delay between photon scattering events. /\x may be interpreted as the minimum
distance between these scattering events.

The shift in /\E along a photons trajectory, i.e., /\fluc[E], where fluc[E] is the spectral fluctuation
energy, where /\fluc[E] = h*/\fluc[f]

The time delay between photon scatterings between point A and point B, where the distance
line[AB] = d is increased. This is due to the increased linear density of scattering events between
A and B.

Increase in energy degeneracy of matter in gravitational field relative to free space. The
temporality of energy degenerate transformations is beginning to supplant the free space
temporality associated with changes in quantum system energy. A black hole is 100% energy
degenerate in that all processes taking place within the even horizon occur without the hole
changing its energy.

The spaceship is not moving through space, just its representations moves across the observers
visual field. Because the observer views the ship from a slightly different reference frame
(separated from that of the ship by a timelike Lorenz boost), one views a tiny component of the
ships motion through time along a spatial axis of ones own reference frame.

Some of the information dictating the reconstitution or recreation of individual fermions is
received not from the quantum vacuum but from other fermions with which the first fermion is
exchanging 3-momentum.

The input of alleged raw energy is responsible for extremely complicated changes in subatomic
processes.

The vacuum must not only reconstitute the mass, but it must do so for the mass plus its kinetic
energy. To reconstitute energy from vacuum energy may be less labor intensive than
reconstituting of a similar amount of energy in the form of mass. This is because of the
information content associated with the boundary conditions to the energy which causes this
energy to manifest itself as interacting matter particles and fields. To reconstitute the boundary
conditions, energy must enter the mass from the vacuum side travel a certain minimum circuit
within the mass responsible for its material structure, exit the mass and return to the vacuum prior
to the vacuum possessing sufficient information to reconstitute the mass for the next cycle. In
the case of uniform velocity, the vacuum needs and extra amount of time to perform this
calculation is determined (in the 2
nd
order approximation) by the ratio of the kinetic and rest mass
energies of the mass in question. In other words, the vacuum does not second guess the mass
that it will continue in uniform motion through space because the vacuum has no knowledge of
such a quantity, perhaps.

Is no objectively valid theory of Heisenberg uncertainty possible because of the necessary ultimate

correlation of fluc(obs) with fluc(sys) be manifest in the array of expectation values for objective

in these physical observables that can either be wholly attributed to the system or to the observer

If wavefunction collapse is truly random, then how is quantum computing possible?
The prohibition stated in special relativity that no mass may move faster than light is perhaps more
correctly cast as, no mass may travel faster than the velocity of time. Of course, in a vacuum
possessing an energy density greater than that of the free space vacuum masses could theoretically
travel faster than c which is really only a local velocity of light this is because free space is a
misnomer if implied here is a vacuum completely free of boundary conditions upon its
momentum-energy as well as the statistics of the fluctuations of this momentum-energy.

This could possibly play a role in the anomalously high energies of some cosmic rays.

We may speak of mass as energy in its purely spatial aspect or mode. Conversely, we may speak
of energy as mass in its purely temporal aspect. Gravitational energy cannot be included with all
other energy into a tensor: this quantity must be described in general relativity as a pseudo tensor,
which is an unconserved quantity. It is for this reason that gravitational energy cannot be
localized within GR theory.

An object with mass cannot, according to the theory of general relativity, be indifferent to the
passage of time. Even photons are not totally indifferent to the passage of time provided that
they traverse a space in The notion of substance necessarily involves indifference to the passage of
time of substances. Do we see a way of deriving quantum mechanics from general relativity,
say, through a stochastic dynamic principle, i.e., where time is ineradicable within general
relativity because of the way this theory necessarily treats the concept of mass? The nonlocality
of quantum mechanics is strongly suggested by the essential nonlocality of gravitational energy
within general relativity theory.

But this time that is stimulated is not some universal, cosmic time, for none such exists:
intersubjective temporality is always reference frame dependent nonlocal quantum time is not.

Is locality produced by the collective mutual interference of quantum nonlocal systems?
Eigenfunctions of the same Psi do not mutually interfere because all are mutually orthogonal, but
how can two independent nonlocally connected quantum fields?

Your argument for a wrong potential energy term in the Schrodinger equation seems based on the
notion that imaginary velocity is meaningless. You must know that imaginary velocity is a staple
notion within special relativity theory, e.g., the current density of electric charge of a charge "at
rest" is just Rho*(ic) where current density is defined as density time velocity.

Moreover, during quantum tunneling a charged particle possesses an imaginary momentum. If it
were not possible to accurately measure the potential barrier through which the charged particle is
tunneling, it might be conceivable to say the particle does not actually possess an imaginary
velocity, but that the potential through which it moves must have a, say, frequency structure, which
allows the particle to harmonically penetrate it (or something similar). If you do some more
basic research, you will see that the notion of imaginary velocity is widespread in modern physics
and doesn't appear to land physicists in contradictions or absurdities.

The distinction of real versus virtual which, of course, comes out of quantum field theory, is a
binary opposition which cuts across the opposition existence versus non-existence. If this is true,
then existence versus non-existence is not itself a binary opposition, i.e., existence and
nonexistence are not mutually exclusive categories. If not mutually exclusive categories, then
each category, that of existence and that of non-existence, may be defined independently of the
negation of the other. This might be the case if existence and non-existence are manifestations of
some deeper system, e.g., that of Being. Since both mathematical entities and physical objects
possess Being although mathematical entities themselves do not "exist", rather, they may be
thought of as "subsisting," Being is seen as a broader category than mere Existence. Your theory
seems to presuppose that existence and non-existence are dual opposing, or, binary opposite or
mutually exclusive categories. But there seems no good reason for supposing this presupposition
correct.

Think of a spherical shell of arbitrary thickness expanding outward at the speed of light from some
origin. If the speed of gravitation is c, which is somewhat in doubt (c.f., Tom Van Flandern
Internet postings c/o
web=
www.deja.com), then the gravitational field of this spherically
symmetric distribution of photons will also be moving outward at the speed of light. The photon
shell's gravitational field is comoving, if you will, with the photons.

But if the gravitational field comoves, as it were, with the photons, then the notion of the photons
being the "source" of this gravitational field becomes highly problematic, as you can see if you
stop to consider the gravitational field at points at rest ( "at rest" in the sense of null red- or blue-
shifting of the photons relative to this point) within the expanding photon distribution. There is,
of course, no gravitational field outside the photon distribution.

It is much less problematic to view the comoving gravitational field of the photon shell as a
retarded potential expanding outward at the speed of light and stemming from a *matter
distribution existing just prior to its being converted into energy, i.e., photons, than to
contemplate an instantaneous (as opposed to retarded) gravitational (potential) field generated by
the photons in real time, if you will.

It appears that if the speed of gravity is only c, then the gravitational field is separable from its
source upon this source being converted completely into energy, i.e., photons and other massless
particles.

Russell



We cannot predict individual quantum events, but only the probabilities of those individual events
occurring. Similarly, we cannot predict a given particles momentum, generally speaking, but
we can generally predict the particles momentum uncertainty. Hypothesis: only conserved
quantities can be predicted; if the value of a non-conserved quantity can be predicted, it is by way
of some conserved quantity to which it is connected.

We imagine the photon passing in front of us and unreflectingly suppose that although relativity
states that no time passes for the photon, we see that time does not pass for the photon from our
point of view in which we imagine the photon moving at the speed of light through space and
across our visual field. But for no time to pass for the photon, it must not interact with
anything along its path for to do so would mean that less than 100% of the photons action is
directed along its direction of motion. The scattering of the photon away from its original
trajectory involves an exchange of energy along other spatial directions but which is secretly an
exchange of i-momentum, say for energy and then an exchange of this energy for j & k
momentum, say. Exchanges of 3-momentum are always at the expense of exchanges of energy
and quantum spin is the index of the distribution of the components of stress-momentum-energy of
the three types of vac-vac, mat-vac, mat-mat exchanges. The components of angular momentum
(generalized) are each composed of commuting observables where one observable which is
conserved and possesses a quantum number (and so subject to quantum selection rules) and the
other with which it is paired to make up the angular momentum component is not conserved. In
an abstract and formal way, contracting /\Px will result in a sympathetic expansion of /\x via the
simple Heisenberg equation, /\x/\Px >= h/2pi. However, the underlying mechanism for the
above Heisenberg relation lies with the four-dimensional spin network that comprises both matter
and vacuum.

We must remember that a mass, which falls in a straight radial line in three-dimensional space, is
following a curved trajectory within four-dimensional spacetime. Moreover this curvature is by
and large, entirely with respect to the time dimension. The mass instantaneous velocity along
its curved timelike trajectory has every thing to do with the timelike curvature seen by this
mass. We state here as a hypothesis that the radius of timelike curvature experienced by a test
mass falling toward the centroid of a spherically symmetric mass distribution can be simply
calculated from the mass instantaneous velocity and acceleration. According to the equation
below,

R (timelike) = V (instantaneous)/|a|(instantaneous)

So curvature isnt uniquely defined independent of a reference frame being specified. Of course,
inertial reference frames are defined in terms of the four velocity of a test mass.

Although the form of ordinary human communication is largely after the fashion of an absolute,
the substance thereof is by and large metaphorical. An idiom may be thought of as a latent
metaphor expressed in the grammar current when the historical context of the idioms metaphor
commonly understood.

The irreversibility of times arrow may equivalently be described as the hysteresis of the
Universe within the frequency domain. Reversibility is prevented when the underlying ground
of change is itself back-reacted upon by change to the entities it creates and sustains, resulting in a
global shift or change in it.

Vacuum fluctuations vs. radiation reaction is related to Lorenz transformation of mass energy vs.
Lorenz transformation of vacuum energy. The energy density of vacuum is Lorenz transformed,
but not its mass.

The curvature of a circular arc possessing a timelike circumference, resulting in a spacelike
acceleration toward a centroid of a mass distribution. And so in this way we see gravitation as a
kind of centripetal/centrifugal force. Perhaps the expansion of the universe or the repulsive
force behind it) is normally in local balance with . . .?


The self-generative aspect (endurance) of matter is dependent upon the binding forces ultimately
responsible for gravity. Persistence of a particle depends upon dilation of the particles local
time. Binding problem and temporality of consciousness.

The recursive nonlinearity of general relativity suggests that spacetime and matter were
engendered together during the Big Bang.

Momentum-energy exchanges in free space vacuum are symmetrical, implying that the net
spacetime density of momentum-energy fluctuations is 0. A slight deviation of this density
might be closely related to Einstein's cosmological constant. Perhaps the local imbalances in the
density of momentum-energy vacuum fluctuations must be redressed for equilibrium's sake by an
equivalent counteracting system of nonlocal, global fluctuations. This reminds us of Puthoff's
zero-point field electromagnetic energy feedback loop between real particle produced ZPF and
quantum vacuum electromagnetic fluctuations.
@#
Perhaps this is the reason for radiation
reaction and vacuum fluctuations comprising the overall ZPF in equal parts.

Only the timelike component of the momentum-energy fluctuation field connected with the "plus
part" (relative to free space) will possess an approximately inverse linear spatial variation (weak
field limit assumed here).

The spatial component of the difference in momentum-energy fluctuation between "true free
space" and that of the Universe's global spacetime, is what must spatially vary in order to produce
a Newtonian inverse square field.

Giving a particle a Lorenz boost changes the vacuum that the particle interacts with (and not just in
the direction of motion), but does not change it in any way that is detectable/measurable within the
particle, that is, i.e., there is no measurable shift in the distribution of momentum-energy
fluctuations within the particle (or mass). Perhaps a Lorenz boost causes nonlocal changes to the
vacuum, say, in the form of timelike and spacelike shifts in the phase of Psi functions. Lorenz
invariance depends on /\p and /\E of the vacuum with which a mass interacts, not on any /\p and /\E
intrinsic to the mass itself. We must remember that vacuum statistics are Lorenz invariant.

Spacetime is constructed from the disparities in local and global values of the uncertainties and
fluctuations in momentum and energy. Momentum and energy must have an internal
component - otherwise we cannot invoke their uncertainties and fluctuations in order to define
spacetime. One must already have a spacetime in existence prior to defining a gravitational field
- this is the notion of gravity atop a background metric - weak field approximation.

Certainly what the spacetime is constituted from does not require the existence of spacetime metric
for its existence, but the metric is simply a collection of initial and boundary conditions upon this
transcendental vacuum field. The word "transcendental" is invoked because the vacuum here is
understood to transcend any particular spacetime or spatiotemporality itself.




Symmetries are generally dependent upon the specification of initial and boundary conditions for
some nonconserved field quantity, resulting in a new description for this field involving a
collection of interacting fields, which together comprise a closed system of substrate, common
denominator stuff for which there exists a continuity equation. The components of this
conserved quantity, i.e., the stuff are reversibly inter-transformable and reactions between these
components, i.e., the distinct field quantities, undergo time-reversible reactions with one another.
Since the above boundary conditions are actually artifacts of the nonconserved field and sustained
by it, irreversible and noncomputable processes underlie the maintenance of the field components
as static components of the total conserved, composite, and interacting field system. The
component field quantities of the closed system construct, borne of the nonlocally connected, open
system field (the field existing prior to the instituting of any initial and boundary conditions
whatever), are thusly radically overdetermined. And so the mother field can temporally
evolve independent of the temporal evolution of the field components existing as artifacts of the
imposed closed system of fields. And there is no unique interconvertibility between the closed
and open system field quantities.


If spacetime is generated and sustained through fluctuations of vacuum energy, then the notion of
vacuum fluctuation length, time, and mass is to put the cart before the horse.

So is Psi really a function of vacuum momentum-stress-energy current/flux densities instead of the
spacetime coordinates. Einstein did not include a term for external pressure in his cosmological
field equations since he believed that spacetime could not actually contain vacuum energy, but
included in these equations a term for internal pressure.

There is not alteration in the mass of the energy and momentum fluctuations in the quantum
vacuum, but only changes in their flux densities. The only way to reconcile the 120 order of
magnitude discrepancy between general relativity and quantum theory's predictions for the energy
density of the vacuum is to locate the underlying mechanism for gravitation within the dynamics of
the quantum vacuum itself. This is to say that in this case the subatomic virtual process, which
constitutes the phenomenon of gravitation as such, would not themselves be gravitational sources.
A similar example of this line of reasoning might be the statement that the physical processes
taking place within the brain, by which the perception of color is effect, do not themselves possess
color, but color is constituted out of these processes. Another example of this deductive/causal
principle applies to artificial intelligence and the question of whether or not conscious thought
might be formalizable in the form of a computer program: the process by which abstract categories
are generally brought into being, or brought into being as such, does not itself submit to a complete
description in terms of abstract categories, i.e., particular exemplars of what it is ultimately and
generally responsible for producing.

Discuss the difference, if any, between current and flux densities. Cellular automata theory
provides an underlying mechanism for inertial mass, and hence, by the equivalence principle, for
gravitation as well, hopefully. Current densities are dependent upon the velocity of some
substance, i.e., conserved quantity, obeying a continuity equation. The flux density is not
dependent by definition upon the velocity, as is the current density, but rather upon the number of
particles penetrating a surface, or hypersurface, for that matter, per unit time. The asymmetry of
lower dimensional interactions can be compensated for within a higher dimensional
space/continuum.

We are saying that the uncertainties in x, t, p, and E obey Lorenz covariance as components and
Lorenz invariance when together comprising tensorial quantities. But we are also saying that the
dynamics of the interaction of these uncertainties, specifically, through the interaction of the
fluctuations comprised by these uncertainties, does not itself conform to Lorenz
covariance/invariance. So this suggests that a time asymmetry appears as a result of the
correlation/interference of fluctuations in momentum-energy which accounts for the fluctuations
not themselves being gravitational sources, but themselves intimately related to the
thermodynamics of black holes and the vacuum as manifested in such phenomena as Hawking
radiation, spontaneous emission, and the Davies-Unruh Effect, as well as the phenomenon of
wavefunction collapse.



The reason that the velocity of light is reduced in a gravitational field (relative to the free space
field) is that the velocity of time is reduced in such spacetime regions. This in turn is due to a
reduction by a similar fraction in the density, or rather, the current density of the quantum
vacuums energy.

The vacuum is not unified, but there is a plurality of nonlocal vacua, which interact with one
another. Momentum exchanges are defined by virtual energy transitions between these nonlocal
vacua. Reduction of uncertainty is information. But there is reduction of uncertainty of
distinct nonlocal vacua. Interference of energy eigenstates creates energy uncertainty.
Interference of nonlocal vacua creates information. The nonlocal quantum vacua through there
mutual interference constitute spacetime.

The temporal evolution of the amplitude, Psi = Psi x exp(iwt), is an oscillation or cycling through
a periodically connected continuum of degenerate Psi-i. This temporal evolution of mere
amplitudes itself does not translate into a temporal evolution of any physical observables. Only
through interference of this amplitude temporal evolution with other such temporally oscillating
amplitudes will translate into a physically measurable temporal evolution of some density function
with respect to some physical observable.

Two dimensional time: the rate at which a mass reconstitutes itself out of the quantum vacuum
(the other) and the rate at which the mass reconstitutes itself out of itself.
February 2012
So can time
dilation be more intimately related to absolute 3 + 2 structure of spacetime in which local
temporality is governed by shifting in the components of 2d time within a time plane? Is each
time component weighted after the fashion of the orthogonal components of a 2d wavefunction?
On this view, extending this notion of a model of hyperdimensional spacetime, the spatial
hypersurface would be structured by a sufficiently rich n-dimensional temporal space, e.g., each
g
ik
in the metric tensor corresponding to a distinct dimensional of absolute/simulation time.

Momentum fluctuations with energies identical to the transition energies within the vacuum
lattice. Apparently, with the exchange of virtual bosons between real fermions occupying
quantum states within the vacuum. This exact correspondence between momentum and energy
fluctuations is broken. What symmetry is broken by the gravitational field here? So are virtual
energy transitions decreased in density allowing a higher current density of momentum
fluctuations in the form of boson exchanges?

In special relativity, spacetime is a closed system, but due to the irreversibility and nonlinearity of
general relativity and the nonlocality of gravitational energy, gravitation opens up spacetime as it
breaks its Lorenz symmetry.

Information is not a function of a closed system and so is not a conserved quantity. Does this
mean that an infinite amount of information exists. Certainly an infinite quantity is not
conserved. This would only not be true if information is a component of some larger quantity
that is conserved.

When we say that a quantity is not conserved, we might mean either that it passes away or can be
destroyed or that it can be created or that it keeps coming back, i.e., spontaneously reappearing
that it fluctuates in an unpredictable manner.

Interference of orthogonal Psi-I leads to energy uncertainty. Interference of nonorthogonal Psi-I
leads to momentum uncertainty. Does the introduction of a gravitational field into the
environment of a quantum superposition of orthogonal energy eigenstates cause a shift toward
nonorthogonality of these energy eigenfunctions, say, through the curving of time? And the
concomitant curving of space in a contrary manner to the dilation of time resulting in suppressed
energy exchanges and enhanced momentum exchanges?

The sixteen g(i,k) and the coordinates of the 16 dimensional phase hyperspace. Sum(i)/\Xi/\E +
Sum(i)/\t/\Pi = /\**2 F(x,y,z,t). These 16 dimensions are defined by the orthogonal phase
uncertainty planes, (/\x, /\Px), (/\y, /\Py), (/\z, /\Pz), (/\ct, /\Pct). Just as four orthogonal lines
form a four-dimensional space, four orthogonal planes form a 16 dimensional phase uncertainty
superspace. Can this information can be recovered by considering the angular momentum
uncertainties matrix? But there are only 12 distinct components (at first glance) within in this
matrix. Does this imply that there are four equations, which can be found for the parameters of
the phase uncertainty superspace given above? There are, of course, the four Heisenberg
uncertainty relations between /\x and /\Px, /\y and /\Py, etc. Each of the above uncertainty planes
appears to possess an area of Plancks constant units of angular momentum. Does this suggest a
cellular automata analogy for spacetime? Or maybe these 16 parameters may be functions of
points within a four-dimensional space since /\x and /\Px are just related by a constant, h? This
does sound somewhat more reasonable than invoking 16 separate dimensional of a
superphasespace. After all, the g(i, k) are defined on spacetime. In other words, we expect to be
able to recover both the spacetime curvature information and the dynamical geodesic motion
information from the /\Xi and /\Pi.

Virtual particles are phenomena of ones own vacuum state. Real particles are the product of the
interaction of nonlocal vacua, i.e., personal ground states. Virtual particles are off mass shell.
Is this related to the question of whether virtual particles have a real mass at all?

As is well understood in conventional, i.e., Copenhagen interpretation, of quantum theory, the
amplitude or wave function does not itself possess any absolute physical meaning, but only the
square of this quantity. Just as the cross term of two distinctly different, but nonorthogonal wave
functions is interpreted as a correlation of these two wave functions, the square of any given
amplitude may be understood as self-correlation of this wave function. And it is this
self-correlation which can be measured and which possesses a definite physical meaning.
Self-correlation, i.e., |Psi x Psi*|, if Psi is in an eigenstate with respect to the energy, results in a
purely spatially varying density distribution function. Any correlation of nonorthogonal
eigenfunctions which is not an autocorrelation will generally give a density function which is both
spatially and temporally varying throughout some region of space time. So even though each
eigenfunction is in an eigenstate of the energy and so is not temporally varying in an absolute
sense, the correlation of these two eigenfunctions, which is its interaction density, is temporally
varying.


Is there a single, mathematical function that connects all possible numbers, e.g., real, imaginary,
matrix, fractal, surreal, etc., . . . ?

One integrates the differential of the functional representing the Lorenz transformation along the
geodesic path of the test particle to transform from frame A(x`,y`,z`,t`) to frame B(x``,y``,z``,t``)
within a gravitational field.

The steady state response of the system is, under certain conditions (boundary and initial), the
infinite sum of all of its possible transient responses. Of course, each of the systems transient
responses may be alternatively represented in the frequency domain via Fourier analysis.


The reason that the velocity of light is reduced in a gravitational field (relative to the free space
field) is that the velocity of time is reduced in such spacetime regions. This in turn is due to a
reduction by a similar fraction in the density, or rather, the current density of the quantum
vacuums energy.

The vacuum is not unified, but there is a plurality of nonlocal vacua which interact with one

vacua. Reduction of uncertainty is information. But there is reduction of uncertainty of
distinct nonlocal vacua. Interference of energy eigenstates creates energy uncertainty.
Interference of nonlocal vacua creates information. The nonlocal quantum vacua between
themselves constitute spacetime.

The temporal evolution of the amplitude, Psi = Psi x exp(iwt), is a continuous oscillation through
degenerate Psi-i.

Two dimensional time: the rate at which a mass reconstitutes itself out of the quantum vacuum

purely spatially varying density distribution function. Any correlation of nonorthogonal
eigenfunctions which is not an autocorrelation will generally give a density function which is both
spatially and temporally varying throughout some region of space time. So even though each
eigenfunction is in an eigenstate of the energy and so is not temporally varying in an absolute
sense, the correlation of these two eigenfunctions, which is its interaction density, is temporally
varying.


The circular motion, feedback through 3-momentum exchanges, is converted to linear
3-momentum directed along a single axis. When the propellant is in its inert form,
3-momentum is virtual and directed along all three spatial axes. When a mass is accelerated
from rest to some velocity, v, its mass and length locally, relativistically change, but the quantum
vacuum undergoes a global relativistic change in its energy density (during the acceleration). A
Lorenz transformation has no effect upon the energy density of the quantum vacuum, as can be
mathematically demonstrated for a vacuum with energy density proportional to frequency**3 (f
3
).

It appears at least superficially that the density of mass is increased by a factor of gamma**2 as a
result of a Lorenz transformation. How do we explain the single gamma factor involved in time
dilation, given the proposed cellular automata model or relativity, in this case?

Since the vacuum does not obey the Lorenz symmetry group, we might say that gravitation breaks
the Lorenz symmetry of the quantum vacuum. We must conclude that the momentum-energy
density of the vacuum is unaffected by a Lorenz transformation, in agreement with what theory
predicts for an energy field with a directly proportional frequency**3 dependence.

Clearly the vacuum possessing a gravitational field loses its the proportional to frequency**3
energy density dependence! Hence, the gravitational field is at least partly based in spatial or
spatiotemporal variations in the vacuums energy density.

There is nothing remarkable about coincidences from a probabilistic standpoint as they inevitably
happen given sufficient number of distinct settings and a sufficient amount of time.

A Lorenz transformation causes a specific, coordinated change in both vacuum frequency and
wavenumber. The strict proportional to frequency**3 dependence is lost due to presence of a
new proportional to wavenumber**3 component. All of the vacuums momentum is timelike
and none of its momentum is spacelike, hence the lack of wavenumber dependence. A
gravitating body must possess some spacelike momentum (in the form of exchanges of
force-mediating virtual bosons) and this costs the mass some of its timelike (or imaginary)
momentum. This prevents the energy density of the vacuum from being purely dependent upon
the frequency since this dependency presupposes a constant relationship between frequency and
wavenumber through the constancy of the speed of light. However, the speed of light is not a
constant within general relativity, i.e., where gravitational fields are present. In other words,
saying that the energy density of the vacuum is directly proportional to the cube of frequency is, in
Minkowski or flat space that this energy density is proportional to the cube of the product of the
velocity of light and the wavenumber. In a gravitational field, the velocity of light is not a
constant, but can vary spatially throughout the field (and by the relativity principle, the velocity of
light should also vary temporally since there is no objective decomposition of spacetime into
separate space and time components). A given frequency of vacuum electromagnetic field
fluctuation is given in free space (in the absence of a gravitational field) by just the velocity of light
multiplied by the wavenumber of the fluctuation. In a gravitational field this frequency is given
by the product of three factors: the speed of light in vacuum, c, the wavenumber of the fluctuation,
1/lambda, and dimensionless functional with a spatial (and perhaps temporal, as well) dependence
which is determined by the spatial (and perhaps, temporal) dependence of the 16 gravitational
potentials, i.e., the metric components, specified by the Einstein field equations. A Lorenz
transformation alters frequency and wavenumber in a complementary manner to which it alters
time and length. So although a Lorenz transformation alters the vacuums frequency, it also alters
the vacuums wavenumber producing a null net effect on the energy density. So in a
gravitational field the density of the quantum vacuum is proportional to the cube of the vacuum
electromagnetic field fluctuation frequency provided that the above functional is itself invariant
under a Lorenz transformation. This is only possible if the multiplication of this functional
generally represents a transformation, which forms at least a subgroup of the Lorenz
transformation group. This is not possible because the Lorenz group is itself a subgroup of the
Diffeomorphism group of general relativistic coordinate transformations.


Clearly the timelike momentum of objects on a spacetime surface is connected with its motion
through and along this hypersurface. Compare the oppositions of prepositions on versus
by with through versus along. Time dilation and Hubble constant contraction is
determined by the ration of mass to black hole (perhaps also vacuum) density. Reconcile this
with a H**2/8piG cosmic mass density. Black hole entropy suggests that black hole density
should be proportional to 1/R**2 or to black hole surface area, c.f., cellular automata-based
theories of relativity. The matter and vacuum momentum current densities are reduced by this
time dilation or Hubble frequency contraction factor.


To calculate the binding energy of nuclear matter, one must perform a partial sum of an infinite
number of infinite terms, yielding a finite result.

We can look at the ordering relation between matter and vacuum in two possibly related ways.
The structure of matter mirrors that of the vacuum because it is constituted out of and sustained by
this vacuum from what other source could matter have derived its structure? Alternatively, we
can assume matter has an existence somehow independent of the vacuum. Here matter resides in
this vacuum and the structure of the vacuum is perturbed by the presence of matter, more
specifically, the structure of matter imposes the pattern of its structure upon that of the vacuum or
upon the structure of its pattern of fluctuating.

It has been suggested that the ubiquitous and collectively enormous energy fluctuations of the
quantum vacuum are scattered echoes, virtually infinite in number, of the initial scattering, or
shattering, explosion of the Big Bang, itself thought to have originated in a vacuum fluctuation of
statistically infinitesimal probability.

The density of the quantum vacuum is calculated within the present quantum theory to possess a
density of approximately 10**95 kg/cm**3. This is what is called the Planck density of matter.
But for matter this density can only exist for a particular smallest spatial dimension, i.e., roughly
10**-35 meters, and for virtual matter, at this same spatial dimension but for the most fleeting
instant of around 10**-42 seconds. The difference between real and virtual Planckions here is
that in the former case all of the fluctuations are in the form of 3-momentum exchanges whereas in
the latter they are entirely in the form of 4-momentum exchanges, imaginary, and exclusively
along the time dimension. Between these two forms of Planck matter there subsists a 90-degree
hyperspatial rotation in accordance with the symmetry of the Lorenz group. There is a similar
relationship obtaining between rest mass and the collection of photons yielded up when this inert
mass is 100% converted into energy, in accordance with E = mc**2. The reason that energy
possesses mass when subject to spatiotemporal boundary conditions is that is that some of the
energy is necessarily converted into mass as a result of the boundary conditions imposed upon this
otherwise totally free energy. The reason that the black hole state equation, if you will, places
such a tight restriction upon the relationships of mass and length or, rather, density and length, in
this case, whereas this restriction is utterly absent in the case of vacuum energy, is no doubt owing
to the imposed boundary conditions. We may then think of mass as just vacuum energy with
suitably imposed boundary conditions, the dynamics of matter and vacuum being otherwise
essentially the same.

A tangled network of feedback loops of quantum vacuum fluctuation momentum-energy
constitutes the structure of matter. Feedback necessarily involves the action of memory.
There is feedback within a given data/information system and then this feedback is itself
continually being updated through nonlocal feedback with some global, distributed system. This
updating of the systems internal, dynamical feedback structures may be thought of as the
feedback of that component of the system which is globally unified with itself at different times.


In nonrelativistic physics, any linear momentum can be transferred away via an appropriate
Galilean transformation. This is not the ease with angular momentum because this is motion not
taking place within an inertial frame. In relativity, the 3-momentum can only be transformed
away while preserving the total 4-momentum. /\x/\py + x/\Py + y/\Px + /\y/\Px + /\x/\Py = /\Lz

Use superposition to express Lz in four-dimensional spacetime. Necessity of quantum
mechanics within relativistic physics. /\f/\g = h/2pi, where either f or g must be a quantum
number and the other term represents a nonconserved quantity.

In the paper, The Mystery of the Cosmic Vacuum Energy Density and the Accelerated Expansion
of the Universe, it is stated that the effective cosmological constant is expected to obtain
contributions from short-distance physics, corresponding to an energy scale of at least 100 GeV.


All conserved dynamical variables are purely timelike in free space. Inertia and gravitation are
phenomena associated with the projection of these timelike four vectors into spacelike
components. An important question here is whether there is a conserved four potential. Does
the creation of spacelike components of four potential induce a change in the timelike four
potential so that the sum of time and spacelike components of some new four potential vectorially
sum to produce a new four potential with the same magnitude as the inertial free space four
potential.

Re: Todd Desiatos Probability Wave Dispersion Interpretation of Relativity. To include inertia
use the analogy of an RLC circuit. The L and C components of the circuit mediate
time/energy and the R component, the position/momentum component of the Heisenberg
uncertainty.

We must remember that a mass, which falls in a straight radial line in three-dimensional space, is
following a curved trajectory within four-dimensional spacetime. Moreover this curvature is by
and large, entirely with respect to the time dimension. The mass instantaneous velocity along
its curved timelike trajectory has every thing to do with the timelike curvature seen by this
mass. We state here as a hypothesis that the radius of timelike curvature experienced by a test
mass falling toward the centroid of a spherically symmetric mass distribution can be simply
calculated from the mass instantaneous velocity and acceleration. According to the equation
below,

R (timelike) = V (instantaneous)**2/|a|(instantaneous)

So curvature isnt uniquely defined independent of a reference frame being specified. Of course,
inertial reference frames are defined in terms of the four velocity of a test mass.

A mass moves as though it has a conserved four-momentum within a (+++-) signature
four-dimensional spacetime. Time axis as direction of centripetal/centrifugal force makes the
notion of local spacetime concrete.


The irreversibility of times arrow may equivalently be described as the hysteresis of the
Universe within the frequency domain. Reversibility is prevented when the underlying ground
of change is itself back-reacted upon by change to the entities it creates and sustains, resulting in a
global shift or change in it.


Vacuum fluctuations vs. radiation reaction is related to Lorenz transformation of mass energy vs.
Lorenz transformation of vacuum energy. The energy density of vacuum is Lorenz transformed,
but not its mass.

The curvature of a circular arc possessing a timelike circumference, resulting in a spacelike
acceleration toward a centroid of a mass distribution. And so in this way we see gravitation as a
kind of centripetal/centrifugal force. Perhaps the expansion of the universe or the repulsive
force behind it) is normally in local balance with . . .?


We cannot predict individual quantum events, but only the probabilities of those individual events
occurring. Similarly, we cannot predict a given particles momentum, generally speaking, but
we can generally predict the particles momentum uncertainty. Hypothesis: only conserved
quantities can be predicted; if the value of a non-conserved quantity can be predicted, it is by way
of some conserved quantity to which it is connected.

We imagine the photon passing in front of us and unreflectingly suppose that although relativity
states that no time passes for the photon, we see that time does not pass for the photon from our
point of view in which we imagine the photon moving at the speed of light through space and
across our visual field. But for no time to pass for the photon, it must not interact with
anything along its path for to do so would mean that less than 100% of the photons action is
directed along its direction of motion. The scattering of the photon away from its original
trajectory involves an exchange of energy along other spatial directions but which is secretly an
exchange of i-momentum, say for energy and then an exchange of this energy for j & k
momentum, say. Exchanges of 3-momentum are always at the expense of exchanges of energy
and quantum spin is the index of the distribution of the components of stress-momentum-energy of
the three types of vac-vac, mat-vac, mat-mat exchanges. The components of angular momentum
(generalized) are each composed of commuting observables where one observable which is
conserved and possesses a quantum number (and so subject to quantum selection rules) and the
other with which it is paired to make up the angular momentum component is not conserved. In
an abstract and formal way, contracting /\Px will result in a sympathetic expansion of /\x via the
simple Heisenberg equation, /\x/\Px >= h/2pi. However, the underlying mechanism for the
above Heisenberg relation lies with the four-dimensional spin network that comprises both matter
and vacuum.

In times own reference frame, no time passes, provided that time does not interact with anything
along its trajectory. A free photon is in an energy eigenstate. Quantum mechanics from
General Relativity. Time-space versus here-now with each person having his or her own time
line. Is there gravity for the subjective spacetime?


We may speak of mass as energy in its purely spatial aspect or mode. Conversely, we may speak
of energy as mass in its purely temporal aspect. Gravitational energy cannot be included with all
other energy into a tensor: this quantity must be described in general relativity as a pseudo tensor,
which is an unconserved quantity. It is for this reason that gravitational energy cannot be
localized within GR theory.


An object with mass cannot, according to the theory of general relativity, be indifferent to the
passage of time. Even photons are not totally indifferent to the passage of time provided that
they traverse a space in The notion of substance necessarily involves indifference to the passage of
time of substances. Do we see a way of deriving quantum mechanics from general relativity,
say, through a stochastic dynamic principle, i.e., where time is ineradicable within general
relativity because of the way this theory necessarily treats the concept of mass? The nonlocality
of quantum mechanics is strongly suggested by the essential nonlocality of gravitational energy
within general relativity theory.


Is locality produced by the collective mutual interference of quantum nonlocal systems?
Eigenfunctions of the same Psi do not mutually interfere because all are mutually orthogonal, but
how can two independent nonlocally connected quantum fields?


Your argument for a wrong potential energy term in the Schrodinger equation seems based on the
notion that imaginary velocity is meaningless. You must know that imaginary velocity is a staple
notion within special relativity theory, e.g., the current density of electric charge of a charge "at
rest" is just Rho*(ic) where current density is defined as density time velocity.

Moreover, during quantum tunneling a charged particle possesses an imaginary momentum. If it
were not possible to accurately measure the potential barrier through which the charged particle is
tunneling, it might be conceivable to say the particle does not actually possess an imaginary
velocity, but that the potential through which it moves must have a, say, frequency structure, which
allows the particle to harmonically penetrate it (or something similar). If you do some more
basic research, you will see that the notion of imaginary velocity is widespread in modern physics
and doesn't appear to land physicists in contradictions or absurdities.


Think of a spherical shell of arbitrary thickness expanding outward at the speed of light from some
origin. If the speed of gravitation is c, which is somewhat in doubt (c.f., Tom Van Flandern
Internet postings c/o www.deja.com), then the gravitational field of this spherically symmetric
distribution of photons will also be moving outward at the speed of light. The photon shell's
gravitational field is comoving, if you will, with the photons.

But if the gravitational field comoves, as it were, with the photons, then the notion of the photons
being the "source" of this gravitational field becomes highly problematic, as you can see if you
stop to consider the gravitational field at points at rest ( "at rest" in the sense of null red- or blue-
shifting of the photons relative to this point) within the expanding photon distribution. There is,
of course, no gravitational field outside the photon distribution.

It is much less problematic to view the comoving gravitational field of the photon shell as a
retarded potential expanding outward at the speed of light and stemming from a *matter
distribution existing just prior to its being converted into energy, i.e., photons, than to
contemplate an instantaneous (as opposed to retarded) gravitational (potential) field generated by
the photons in real time, if you will.

It appears that if the speed of gravity is only c, then the gravitational field is separable from its
source upon this source being converted completely into energy, i.e., photons and other massless
particles.


Does the independence of the spin quantum number from Lorentz transformations imply that there
is no substance interaction, i.e., in the sense of producing dynamical effects, between spin and flat
spacetime.


Dynamically interacting vacua, each of which is an open system. How do these vacua mutually
interfere constructively with one another in the absence of a closed system of feedback? Within
a closed system of feedback there is a back and forth exchange of energy, but no
communication. However, in the interaction of two or more open systems, stable and
persisting structures can only be created and sustained through communication and cooperation
between these various systems. The individual fluctuations of energy which collectively
comprise /\E may not be thought to be evolving in time as /\E is what determines /\t, which, in turn,
defines the time scale of dynamical processes within the system. Spacetime is a projection based
upon the expectation values of time and position. The field equations relate the expectation
value of the spacetime curvature to the expectation value of the momentum-energy density. This
is a formal relationship, which is concretely underpinned by the physical connection between the
fluctuations in momentum and energy to the fluctuations in position and time. Fluctuations in
time are not merely fluctuations in the position in time at which a particular event occurs.
Otherwise, an absolute time would have to be assumed and which would served as a backdrop for
these fluctuations in the timing of events.

Mass is conserved in pre-relativity physics. In relativity theory mass and energy are
interconvertible. But energy is conserved in relativity theory( special theory, at least), while
energy is not conserved in quantum theory. The question perhaps arises here, into what is
energy interconvertible which accounts for the breakdown of conservation of energy within
quantum mechanics?

Everetts relative state interpretation of quantum measurement seems to invoke the existence of a
kind of hypertime dimension. Just as the integration of the time dimension with those of space
explained the nonconservation of mass, perhaps the incorporation of Everetts hypertime
dimension with that of four dimensional spacetime accounts for the nonconservation of energy.


Real particles as solitons in the locally connected quantum vacuum momentum-energy field. By
viewing virtual particles within the vacuum as being themselves solitons in the nonlocally
connected vacuum field, we are admitting the existence of forms of matter and energy more
fundamental than the particles and fields treated in the standard model of particle physics.

What is the quantum conjugate quantity, which should be paired with information, conceived as a
physical quantity? And is information the conserved quantity of such a conjugate pair? With
the other conjugate quantity serving merely as a bookkeeping or accounting variable?


What is the meaning, if any, of nonlocally connected influences propagating? To trigger the
manifestation of nonlocal connections is to back-react upon the ground of the phenomena of the
physical system concerned perhaps even to back-react upon ones own ground.

Time may be likened to a CPU clock while motion of coherent structures is a combination of linear
and feedback, i.e., circular binary calculations. The competition between binary and CPU
operations (by which coherent structures are refreshed or updated the CPU clock rate
constitutes the refresh rate for non-cohesive pixel sets; for cohesive pixel sets, the refresh rate
for the structure is less than the CPU clock rate) may be likened to special and general relativistic
effects, respectively.

Higgs boson as a particle physics metaphorical particle. Photon mass determined by gravitational
size, i.e., black hole radius of the Universe and would be related to the breakdown of perfect
Lorenz invariance.

What type of new conservation principle is pointed to by supersymmetry?

Dynamical symmetry breaking requires a composite Higgs particle, perhaps virtual Cooper pairs
of fermion/ antifermion pairs. Supersymmetry entails several Higgs bosons, perhaps all of the
various types of virtual fermion/antifermion pairs which are manifestations of the fundamental
energy fluctuations of the quantum vacuum.

Spin appears to be the most ubiquitous property of particles, both matter particles as well as the
particles responsible for mediating all of the fundamental forces of nature. Spin is an essential
consideration in all interactions among subatomic particles. So the equivalence principle should
be consistent with a spin-based theory of quantum gravity, rather than an electromagnetic-based
theory such as that put forward by Haisch, Rueda, and Puthoff. In fact, the spin of a planet is
the sum of the spins and angular momenta of all its elementary particles. But can angular
momentum itself be ultimately reducible to subatomic particle spins? (c.f.,

Is a time interval being so small that time looses its meaning the same thing as quantized time?

Is vacuum lattice gravity theory related to spin network gravity theory?






Obviously, if the energy density of the quantum vacuum is on the order of 10**95 kg/cm**3,
matter cannot actually pass through this medium, but must traverse it by moving atop this
hyperdense medium. Continuous reformation/reconstruction of particles and fields at
successive locations of spacetime appears the only viable means for matter to have motion within
the vacuum. A ready analogy here is the software icon appearing on ones computer desktop.
This icon possesses only so much continuous existence as is permitted by the limited speed of the
electron gun which is continually repainting the desktop. CPU processor speed may also play
somewhat of a role though.

The apparent repulsive and attractive forces involved in the collective behavior of particles in
accordance with the quantum statistics of fermions and bosons operate in the absence of exchange
particles mediating the three or four fundamental forces of nature. These statistical forces
operate in addition to the fundamental exchange forces. These two types of quantum statistical
forces, those described by the Pauli exclusion principle and exemplified in the phenomenon of
Bose Condensation, when each operates independently of the other, manifests its action at a local
level usually confined to the subatomic scale. However, these non-exchange forces may prove
to be of a more fundamental nature than those forces dubbed as fundamental, i.e., the
electromagnetic, strong, and weak nuclear forces. And this might prove to be particularly
evident where these two statistical forces are strongly interacting with one another all the while
that they are acting upon particles of matter. The existence of geometrodynamic theories of
quantum field fluctuations of the vacuum in accordance with these quantum statistical laws, may
describe how these fluctuations underpin, in turn, fluctuations and stability of spacetime topology.
Spacetime topology is itself necessarily presupposed as initial and boundary conditions by
Einsteins field equations of the inertio-gravitational field, which suggests that the energy density
of the vacuum field may fall outside of the purview of the Einstein stress-momentum-energy
tensor. This tensor general relativity treats as the complete source of the gravitational field.
This further suggests that such quantum statistical laws may be turned to for an explanation of the
physical mechanism by which the efficacy of the field equations are realized in short, these
quantum statistical laws may hold the key to understanding the underlying dynamics of
gravitation, fleshing out, if you will, the abstract formalism of general relativity.

Although gravitation may not be an exchange force in the standard sense of its being mediated
through the exchange of a specific force-carrying boson, as in the case of the other three
fundamental forces, this force may nonetheless be aptly described as an exchange force,
however, one of the most general kind conceivable so as to properly account for both universality
of gravitys influence while opening the way to solving the heretofore intractable Cosmological
Constant Problem. Since gravity is not merely a force acting in three dimensions, as is very much
the case with the other three fundamental forces, when they are not operating within a sufficiently
strong gravitational field, that is, we expect gravity to be a force which is at least partially mediated
through particle exchanges which take place along the local time axis. Such a very general type
of exchange might be effected through the two basic types exchanges of stress-momentum-energy
- those which take place between real matter and virtual matter, i.e., between matter and the
quantum vacuum, and those which take place between this vacuum and itself. One might ask
what interpretation is to be made of an obvious third category of exchange, that occurring
between real matter and itself. This would be the component of force which is mediated by
specific exchange bosons operating within a 3-dimensional hypersurface. This component would
be combined, as alluded to earlier, with the purely timelike exchanges of momentum-energy
(which we are saying are somehow intimately associated with the action of the gravitational field.
+


An exchange particle would appear to only be necessary in cases where the action of the
fundamental force in question was only between particles of a particular type, e.g., photons
interact via the electromagnetic but do not interact via the strong nuclear force, gluons do not
interact via the weak force, etc. Since the action of the gravitational force is supposed via the
equivalence principle to be truly universal, and we can only be assured of a complete
correspondence between real particles and fields and their virtual counterparts, rather than
supposing a universal force interaction, i.e., "correspondence" to somehow be maintained through
the action of a specific exchange particle, we expect the total symmetric/ antisymmetric/
nonsymmetric quantum vacuum field to be the logical candidate for mediating the "gravitational
force." The problem with the quantizing of the gravitational field then is that action of the
gravitational field is via the equivalence principle supposed to be truly universal on the one hand,
whereas gravitation is mediated through the action of a specific exchange boson, i.e., the graviton.






Loose speculation concerning the relationships of gravity, topology, and degeneracy:

So long as continuity of action is maintained, the selfsame topology remains in effect. Is it
possible to have a degenerate metric, that is, with respect to multiply distinct topologies? Would
this imply that changes in topology might be without gravitational effect? What might be termed
here as gravitational equivalence classes of topology? There might be transitions between
distinct wavefunctions in the absence of changes in energy such that we may speak of atemporal
changes in a quantum mechanical system.




Each order process in a perturbative expansion of the vacuum state must be composed of all
topologically distinct ways that fermions can interact. Neither does general relativity distinguish
between topologically equivalent spacetimes so that the interaction of topologically degenerate
spacetimes as well as the mutual transformation of topologically degenerate spacetimes are types
of interaction occurring outside the scope of general relativity theory.

Phonons are an example of bosons. The mutual exchange of phonons binds together
quasiparticles. Quasiparticles and phonons are artifacts of the mean or effective field model of
quantum particles and their interactions.



Time lag in the exchange of force-mediating bosons? Does this figure in the mechanism of
inertia?

Convergence of elements from different points in ones biography to form a more meaningful and

Concerning the possibility of true singularities:
/\E = 0 is inconsistent with the requirement of Lorenz-invariance of the ground state. This is
connected with the nonexistence of true energy eigenstates, due to the fact of the universe being an
open system and continually exchanging energy with the virtual particles and fields of the
quantum vacuum through the existence of the /\E.

Concerning the end state of the Hawking radiation process:
Conservation of information problem. Actually, this is a question of the conservation (or
nonconservation) of data. Information is only definable on an open system, whereas entropy is
only definable on a closed system ( just as the 2
nd
Law of Thermodynamics only applicable to
closed systems). Is a black hole an open or a closed system? Eigenstates are not definable
within an open system. This may explain the indeterministic change in the wavefunction, Psi, as
a result of measurements performed by a conscious observer.

The lynchpin point of incompatibility between general relativity and quantum mechanics is that
posed by The Cosmological Constant Problem.

Can Psi constitute spacetime while being defined within a particular spacetime? Nonlinearity
problem?

Ontological priority of state space description over that of the spacetime manifold.

The energy of a nonlocally-connected field cannot gravitate without a modification of the fields
equations being required. Deficit of vacuum energy may act as the gravitational source term due
to the vacuum possessing a negative energy. In this case, only differences in the density of
vacuum energy would be significant for gravitation. Perhaps a negative vacuum energy density
would drive cosmological expansion, resulting in a local time-varying metric against a background
of constant spacetime topology.

Torsion of spacetime is determined by vacuum spin currents which are conserved, but which
determine the momentum and energy uncertainties of a given local volume of spacetime ( local
3-hypersurface). Vacuum spin structure dynamics ~ the torsion of spacetime.

Pauli and Bose vacuum statistics which are determined and evolve via this vacuum spin
structure/dynamics.

To include inertia use the analogy of an RLC circuit. The L and C components of the circuit
mediate time-energy and the R component, the position-momentum components of the tensor
uncertainty.

x/\Py + y/\Px + /\xPy + /\x/\Py + /\yPx = [(/\Lz)**2]/(h/2pi)

We can, of course, choose (x,y) = (0,0), if we interpret them as expectation values, that is, so that

/\xPy + /\yPx + /\x/\Py + /\y/\Px + /\Lz + [(/\Lz)**2]/h/2pi)

Px and Py can be defined as zero by appropriate choice of equivalent inertial reference frame,
provided we interpret Px and Py as expectation values so that

/\x/\Py + /\y/\Px = /\Lz + [(/\Lz)**2/(h/2pi)

Intuitively, the dimensions of this equation do not balance with respect to the degree of the
uncertainty, /\, if /\ is interpreted as an operator. Of course, operators possess special properties
and one must perform a proof of the operator property of /\ in order to sustain this part of the
discussion. But if /\ in the above does, indeed, function as an operator, then we may drop the
term, /\Lz and say the following:

/\x/\Py + /\y/\Px = [(/\Lz)**2]/(h/2pi)

The generalization of which might be,

Sum(j = 1 to 3) x Sum(i = 1 to 3) x {1 DiracDelta(i,j)}[/\Xi/\Pj] = [(/\Lk)**2]/(h/2pi)

Where, of course, DiracDelta(i,j) = 1 when i = j.

Notice that the above tentative formula is nonrelativistic. How would one generalize this formula
to 4 dimensions of spacetime? This would require use of the notion of rotations about the time
axis something which is surely demanded by relativistic spin 0 (scalar field) such as that
presented by the vacuum energy fluctuations in the form of creation and annihilation of virtual
Cooper pairs.

Although a doubly-spinning sphere or ball is difficult to visualize, a doubly-spinning
ring can be visualized relatively easily. If one can convince oneself that arbitrary angular
momentums are not substantively different from orthogonal angular momentum components, then
there is no reason to believe that adding or decomposing angular momenta in the case of an
arbitrarily spinning sphere or ball is substantively different than in the case of an arbitrarily
spinning ring. What is the term for a simplification of an insoluble problem that does not take
away any of the relevant features of the problem, but which makes the original problem relatively
intuitive and easy to solve?

All conserved dynamical variables are purely timelike in free space. Inertia and gravitation are
phenomena associated with the projection of these timelike four vectors into spacelike
components. An important question here is whether there is a conserved four potential. Does
the creation of spacelike components of a, say, hyperspherical four potential induce a change in the
original pure timelike potential so that the sum of time and spacelike components of some new
four potential vectorially sum to produce a new four potential with the same magnitude as the
initial free space four potential? Could there be a preferred reference frame defined by that
3-hypersurface slice of spacetime possessing the greatest timelike four potential, or, alternatively,
that 3-hypersurface slice possessing no spacelike components of the four potential? But the four
potential may be a function of mass, length, and time in such a manner that merely translational
motion at constant velocity does not result in a reconfiguration of the space and timelike
components of the four potential, i.e., the four potential is Lorenz-invariant.

Obviously, if the energy density of the quantum vacuum is on the order of 10**95 kg/m**3, matter
cannot actually pass through this medium, but must traverse it by moving atop this
hyperdense medium. In a sense all particle motion is tunneling through a potential in the sense
in which a particle which tunnels through a potential barrier (in the conventional quantum
tunneling sense) must some how merge with the energy of the field composing the potential
barrier. Tunneling possesses three distinct cases, E > V, E < V, and E = V. Continuous
reformation/reconstitution of particles and fields, either in or out of resonance with each other
(perhaps there is a special case where the particle is at near resonance with the energy field
composing the potential through which it is tunneling ) at successive locations of spacetime
appears the only viable means for matter to have motion within the vacuum. A ready analogy
here is the software icon appearing on ones computer desktop. This icon possesses only so much
continuous existence as is permitted by the limited speed of the electron gun which is continually
repainting the desktop. CPU processor speed may also play somewhat of a role although
F(cpu) > F(electron gun).

Dirac point particles which are fermions do not perturb the fermi-dirac statistics of the quantum
vacuum without simultaneously perturbing the bose-einstein statistics of the vacuum, as well.
Do isolated Dirac point particles (fermions) have an individual gravity field?

The role of the Higgs boson may be fulfilled by virtual fermion/antifermion Cooper pairs. Do
these Cooper pairs , i.e., pairons, confer mass to particles? Systems (mesons) with different
spin are different particles with different masses.

Indeed vacuum energy is modified in a space curved by the gravitational field. (c.f.,
quant-ph/9801071, Relativity of motion in vacuum.) Action-reaction principle here modified
vacuum manifests itself as gravitation. The Euler/LaGrange formulation of the field equations of
gravitation describe the dynamics of continuously existing particles in which kinetic and potential
energy (which go into the definition of the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian).

High density vacuum field comes from a gauge transformation of the Psi associated with the
cosmological constant.

If spin is for a fermion formally similar to polarization for a photon, then several questions at once
arise. Can this similarity be extended to other vector bosons?

If a lower limit can be placed on pseudo gravitational effects caused by the interaction of mass and
vacuum quantum statistics large enough to observed so that no deviation from geodesic motion is
observable, then this mechanism must be the one underlying gravity itself. In other words, if the
predicted effects are large enough to be observed but are not in fact observed, then the theory is an
alternate account for effects already familiarly observed.

The vacuum must possess a spin 2 gauge symmetry such that the presence of gravitons remains
latent or is rendered unnecessary. Normally, the spin and spin 1 wavefunctions cannot be
superposed and therefore cannot interact.

Symmetry breaking, phase transition, vacuum decay, gauge bosons, etc. Matter perturbs the
symmetry of the vacuum.

The fact that composite matter cannot exist as virtual particles suggests that it is only ocmposite
matter, i.e., matter possessing a binding energy over and above that of the vacuum constituting the
elementary particles separately. This fact suggests that the particle vacuum fields do not, in
isolation, possess distinct gravitational fields.

Relative versus absolute spacetime rotations are important in connection with spin statistics.

During uniform acceleration, the space and time axes are displaced by twice the angle relative to

Does the vacuum possess a gauge symmetry which makes the spin 2 exchange particle
unnecessary?

Supposing that the quantum vacuum itself can be the source of a gravitational field leaves no
quantum mechanism available to mediate gravitation.

Certainly the positive definite signature (+,+,+,-) of the Minkowski metric is intimately related to
the symmetry and antisymmetry of the wavefunctions describing fermions and bosons.

Because topology is constituted by spin statistics of virtual particles, the energy of the zero-point
field (ZPF) falls outside of the scope of general relativity.

Because energy uncertainty drives temporal evolution and gravitation can only manifest its power
by deflecting timelike four vectors so that they acquire spacelike components, it follows that the
underlying dynamism of gravity must be the energy fluctuations of the quantum vacuum.

Because an objects energy is, even if only in a tiny part, reconstituted from out of its own enregy,
the object cannot move along its own time axis at the speed of light.

An antiparticle can be consistently described as a particle travelling backwards in time. The
process of the creation of virtual particle/antiparticle pairs is a reversible process, according to
quantum mechanics. We might imagine more complex virtual structures, i.e., composite
particles, such as simple molecules, being reversibly created out of the vacuum (along with their
anti-molecules) in that they are immediately destroyed again (return to the quantum) within a
exceedingly brief period of time specified by the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle.

Perhaps virtual bosons are exchanged between both real and virtual fermions in a completely
indiscriminate fashion.

Of course, strictly speaking, this type of creation/annihilation is only possible if the virtual
molecule/anti-molecule pair collectively constitute a spin zero particle. (It may be possible to
understand spin 0 as being spin about the particles local time axis and spin 1 being spin about
an axis oriented in some way in the 3-dimensional space to which the local time axis is
orthogonal). Such tiny systems could be consistently and exhaustively described with quantum
theory by some finite set of quantum numbers, being in this way indistinguishable from any other
system defined by the same quantum numerical set. These quantum numbers, as such, index
observables, which are conserved physical quantities. But we know that at some point
reversibility is lost and this must take place when the structure can no longer be produced from out
of the vacuum in a single go, but must be cobbled together from a number of such
vacuum-engendered particles which are to exist in some kind of bound structure maintained
through exchanges of momentum between all of those particles (which emerged from the vacuum
in a single step). This might well be due to there being no definable anti-entity with which the
entity can annihilate so as to return the pair to the quantum vacuum from which they had
originated. We may suppose that it is here that physical processes describable in terms of
nonconserved quantities come into play. Is it at this point that the phenomena of inertia and
gravitation emerge or become significant? Do irreversible structures participate in more than one
distinct vacuum state? Or do they just possess some kind of independence from a single vacuum
state, preventing the vacuum from anticipating an anti-structure? It is interesting to note that
irreversibility creeps into those systems that cannot be maintained by the same processes by which
they were originally engendered. It is at this very same stage where physical processes within the
system are no longer directly, but only indirectly supported by quantum vacuum processes.

We do not expect nonlocal energy distributions to possess inertia or to be sources of gravitational
fields. Inertia and gravitation are phenomena based in the distribution and dynamics of the
distribution of momentum and energy within four dimensional spacetime. An individual vacuum
fluctuation possesses only an uncertain momentum energy which therefore possesses no
determinate composition of momentum energy. This is based on the hypothesis, derived from
statements of David Bohm in his work, Quantum Theory, that all causal relationships between the
expectation values of physical quantities are constituted out of correlations of fluctuations in the
values of these physical quantities. In other words, it is only coherent networks of interrelated
momentum energy fluctuations that exhibit the back-reaction of inertia.

The construction of squeezed states in which the momentum uncertainty along a particular axis
is decreased at the expense of increases in this uncertainty along other orthogonal axes supplies
tangible proof that the spacetime components in quantum mechanical momentum-energy
uncertainty form with one another a conserved four vector. If this is true, then it should be
possible to construct a squeezed state in which the energy uncertainty of a system is increased due
the construction of squeezed states in which a component of the 3-momentum uncertainty is
decreased.

Through a Lorenz transformation the expectation values of all components of 3-momentum can be
adjusted to zero so that the quantum uncertainties in the components of 3-momentum are wholly
constituted by the respective momentum fluctuation terms. The question arises as to whether the
timelike component of the 4-momentum can likewise be transformed away through such a
simple operation as a Lorenz transformation?
In the absence of accelerated motion or gravitational fields, the velocity of light is a universal
constant. To transform away all of a mass timelike momentum would require that one utilize a
frame of reference which is itself moving at the speed of light within some 3-hypersurface. There
is a kind of symmetry between the spacelike and timelike components of an objects momentum:
no component of a massive objects spacelike velocity may reach the speed of light and, the
objects timelike velocity can never reach zero.

Now from previous discussion we are aware that no massive body actually possesses a timelike
momentum such that its velocity through time is actually 100% of the speed of light (in vacuum).
The symmetry underlying momentum-energy would be broken, if we allowed what is permitted
in free space, namely a Lorenz transformation wherein an object is given a component of
3-velocity which, though still less than the velocity of light in free space, is nonetheless greater
than the timelike velocity of the object. The structure of spacetime within the 3-hypersurface
surrounding the object must have been altered so as to prevent the acceleration of an object to
velocities within this part of the hypersurface which are greater than the timelike velocity of
co-located objects at rest relative to the chosen coordinate system.
@$
The appearance of tidal
forces responsible for the initial acceleration of objects released in a gravitational field is easily
explained in terms of conservation of four momentum in conjunction with the spatially varying
local velocity of light, c.f., For it cannot actually be "rigid" due to these tidal forces; in fact, the
concept of a "rigid body" is already forbidden in special relativity as allowing
instantaneous causal actions. Secondly, such a rod must indeed be "infinitesimal", i.e., a
freely falling body of negligible thickness and of sufficiently short extension, so as to not
be stressed by gravitational field inhomogeneities; just how short depending on strength
of local curvatures and on measurement error (Torretti (1983), 239), c.f., Early Philosophical
Interpretations of General Relativity (Nov 28, 2001). Reichenbach's analysis of spacetime
measurement treatment is plainly inappropriate, manifesting a fallacious tendency to view the
generically curved spacetimes of general relativity as stiched together from little bits of flat
Minskowski spacetimes. Besides being mathematically inconsistent, this procedure offers no way
of providing a non-metaphorical physical meaning for the fundamental metrical tensor g, the
central theoretical concept of general relativity, nor to the series of curvature tensors derivable
from it and its associated affine connection. Since these sectional curvatures at a point of
spacetime are empirically manifested and the curvature components can be measured, e.g., as the
tidal forces of gravity, they can hardly be accounted as due to conventionally adopted "universal
forces". Furthermore, the concept of an "infinitesimal rigid rod" in general relativity cannot really
be other than the interim stopgap Einstein recognized it to be. For it cannot actually be "rigid" due
to these tidal forces; in fact, the concept of a "rigid body" is already forbidden in special relativity
as allowing instantaneous causal actions, c.f., Ibid.

A hollow sphere filled with electromagnetic radiation, i.e., photons, possesses an additional mass
equal to the total energy of the photons divided by the speed of light squared, solely due to the
impulsive forces and accelerations experienced by the photons as they bounce around inside the
sphere. Of course, from the DeBroglie relation, p = h/, and the red shifting of photons moving in
the direction of the spheres motion and the blue shifting of photons moving in the direction
contrary to this motion, we can easily deduce that when the sphere is uniformly accelerated, there
will result an increasing differential of impulsive momenta developing between the red and blue
shifted photons. In other words, the instantaneous change in this momentum differential with
respect to time will correspond to a force, F = d(/\p)/dt, which will oppose the acceleration of the
photon-filled sphere. This force divided by the acceleration of the hollow sphere will, of course,
yield the effective mass of the photons. Note that it is only because the photons change direction
through interaction with (impacting against) the hollow sphere that the photons collectively
acquire an effective mass.

Hypothesis: when is in any eigenstate of the Hamiltonian, a superposition state of with
respect to purely time-varying eigenfunctions fully accounts for the uncertainty in the lifetime. I
was just trying to say that,

(x,t) = (0)(x) x exp(iwt) for whenever is in an eigenstate of H.

A Theory of Everything would be able to determine the true Hamiltonian, H, for any system,
including for the whole Universe. Such a theory would render any energy fluctuation term in
H, H(fluc), a mere phenomenological artifact of our previous ignorance of the correct refinement
of quantum theory, A TDE would convert the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle into a purely
epistemological principle. Such a system would possess no fundamental fluctuations because it
would possess no indeterminate outside with which it could be in the process of dynamically
exchanging energy. In such a situation, the power input to the Universe as a whole would be
identically 0.

It is hard to conceive of how anything could ever happen within such a zero power input device.
In short, It is hard to conceive how a Universe with zero power input could be rightfully said to
possess any real temporality, beside endlessly repeating patterns of interference between a closed
set of time-independent eigenfunctions.
If in an attempt to accelerate by mechanical means a perfectly spherical mass leads not to a change
in the location of this bodys center of mass in the direction along which we would attempt to make
it move, but instead, to a supefluid-like streaming of its composite material around the hand and
between the fingers which together would urge it forward, then despite this action having lead to a
redistribution of the bodys mass, no energy may be supposed to have been expended (is there a
question of degeneracy here?) throughout the course of this operations. Such a strange object
may be said to possess not inertia. It is hopefully obvious from what has been considered thus far
that, were it but for the absence of all internal binding forces within this mass (as opposed to the
notable case of a superfluid), at least some small acceleration of the bodys center of mass would
have been effected in the direction along which ones hand was attempting to urge it. We note the
absence, in the case considered above, of all compression forces in the direction of the bodys
would-be acceleration. The opposite-directed tension force is likewise zero, as the matter
distribution was still prior to our attempting to move it. Moreover, all shear forces within the
mass were similarly zero. Now it is but a simple and reversible linear transformation of
spacetime coordinates connecting the representation of a matter distribution as possessing
pressure, energy density and stress (relating to the presence of shear forces within the body) to
another representation of this distribution as one possessing only energy density and pressure but
without any stress due to shear forces. In other words, locally at least, shear forces can always be
transformed away through an appropriate choice of spacetime coordinates.
October 2011
The
generalization of conservation of momentum to the conservation of stress-momentum-energy in
general relativity means that the metric responds to inertial forces in just such a manner that the
time rate of change (with respect to proper time) in some important quantity proportional to
f(g
uv
, T
uv
) = 0

But it is clear that a mere change in coordinate system will have no effect whatever upon any actual
physics this is merely a somewhat informal restatement of the principle of general relativity. So
any mass distribution not possessing off-diagonal terms in its energy tensor in one system of
coordinates, may be represented within some new coordinate system as having an energy tensor
possessing such off-diagonal terms (stress terms) and owing to the existence of shear forces within
the body. Now it is the binding forces within a body which are responsible for that body
possessing forces of compression, tension, and shear. The question which faces us now is this:
might a body possess an energy tensor with only a term with this being true for all possible
transformations of the spacetime coordinates?

Is there some component of the energy tensor which cannot be, locally at least, transformed away?
Now a transformation of the spacetime coordinates can always be found which allows us to locally
transform away a bodys gravitational field.

What are we to make of the Gibbs phenomenon in the case of waves of the probability distribution
of quantum states? Might we expect extremely counter-intuitive behavior by quantum systems at
the spacetime boundaries of their system wavefunctions?

For quantum tunneling, /\x >= /\x(0) and/or (both?) /\E >= /\E(0).

It is only nonzero expectation values of momentum-energy which may possess gravitational
mass/inertial mass equivalency. The expectation values may always be derived from a
combination of fluctuation terms and uncertainties. The fluctuation term for the energy may be
wholly attributed to the vacuum whereas its uncertainty in its energy to the effect of the fluctuation
energy upon our energy-measuring apparatus what perfect calibration cannot eradicate (in
principle). Mass-energy is a result of an imbalance in these two energy terms. In this way
particles are seen to be not flux-stabilities in themselves, but structured alterations in the
flux-stabilities as a result of the influence, penultimately of our energy-measuring
devices-ultimately per von Neumann upon the influence of not the individual mind per se but the
consciousness fundamental in nature, which is structured through the complex system of boundary
conditions upon the quantum vacuum field being measured (in essence) constituted through the
operation of the observers brain, since the existence of the brain as a mass-energy system, would
otherwise presuppose, if identified with the observers individual consciousness, the existence of
that which its observations are potentially constituting.


If all topological transformations of spacetime at the quantum level may be reducible to successive
or collective symmetric and antisymmetric topological transformations grounded in virtual boson
and fermion particle exchanges, then spacetime topology would be determined by vacuum
quantum statistics. So this spacetime topology, about which general relativity is undecided,
would be determined by the quantum statistics of the quantum vacuum. On this view, gravitation
and inertia would necessitate preloaded quantum vacuum boundary conditions. So gravitation,
in particular, could no longer be treated as possessing its own, unique and universal quantum field,
but would be particular in that gravitational fields would simply be vacuum fields + particular
boundary conditions supplied for this vacuum.

Of course, the zero-point energy field is responsible for inertia since matter remains at rest, i.e.,
continues travelling at near the speed of light along the time axis, due to its energy being
continually replenished from out of the vacuum energy.

All vector quantities are conserved. If a vector quantity does not appear to be conserved, this is
only because the vector is merely a component of some higher dimensional vector quantity. For
instance, although neither time nor space are conserved physical quantities, and therefore neither
conserved nor quantized quantities, they are collectively when combined together into a spacetime
four-vector.

The velocity of light is the velocity of time. Velocity through space is always at the expense of
velocity through time and vice versa. The parameter by which this exchange of motion (between
space and time directions) is mediated, such that the law of (probability) conservation is upheld, is
that of mass. The particular manifestation of probability conservation, which is relevant here, is
that of four momentum conservation. A question which is relevant here is whether
four-momentum fluctuations are conserved. If such fluctuations are conserved, then given the
conservation of the expectation values of four momentum, it would immediately follow that the
Heisenberg uncertainties in each component of the three momentum and in the energy
themselves conjointly form a four vector of Heisenberg uncertainty in four momentum. In such a
situation we expect a generalized and relativistic statement of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Relation
of the following form. The dot product of the four momentum uncertainty vector with the
spacetime uncertainty vector must be greater than or equal to 2h/pi, i.e., >= 4h/2pi. In the absence
of bound energy, i.e., free space (where no gravitational field is present), this dot product
would be between the four momentum fluctuations of the quantum vacuum and the fluctuations
of the spacetime interval.

There is obviously a connection between quantum mechanical three momentum fluctuations and
energy fluctuations, i.e., timelike component of the four momentum fluctuations, which tends in
the right direction due to the property of bosons and fermions obeying opposite Pauli principles.

We are perhaps implying a kind of double-counting by speaking of fluctuations of both the four
momentum and the spacetime interval. It may be that there is no physical meaning in the concept
of spacetime interval fluctuations for such fluctuations would also be present within any spacetime
measuring apparatus/devices which we might attempt to measure them. We cannot directly
grapple with the space and time variables, but only indirectly, through the manipulation/use of
momentum/energy.

So how is the manipulation of momentum energy systems, e.g., matter, by other momentum
energy systems, i.e., people, not an example of the latter systems (people) pulling themselves up
by their own bootstraps. Relevant considerations here are the ghost in the machine paradigm, free
will and determinism, collapse of the wavefunction, contrast of local and nonlocal interactions,
etc.


The only way that nonlocality can be consistent with special relativity would be if the
instantaneous determination of spins (for oppositely spun particles) were instantaneous not just
in the experimenters frame of reference, i.e., laboratory frame, but in all possible reference
frames!

The present astrophysical observations indicating a general acceleration of the cosmological
expansion would seem to imply that a hyperspherical potential does, indeed, exist. This potential
possesses a gradient along the local time axes at every point within spacetime. Might
gravitational potentials ultimately derive from the local hyperspherical potential through the
peculiar interaction of massive particles, or more generally, energy in bound form, i.e., binding
energy, with this potential?

The balance maintained between the current density of 3-momentum fluctuations/exchanges and
the current density of energy fluctuations/exchanges accounts for the trend of cosmological
expansion in its 2
nd
time derivative. So if the expansion rate of the universe is accelerating
(within observable 3 dimensions), then there must be a shift in the momentum-energy distribution
of the vacuum such that the density of its 3-momentum exchanges is decreasing (bodies are
becoming less massive) and the density of its energy increasing. The dynamics of the
cosmological expansion, whether it is overall accelerating or decelerating, is attributed to the
relative strengths of the cosmological constant (the vacuum energy density) and the gravitational
energy of the universe.

The sort of force that changes the distribution of momentum-energy without altering the
magnitude of the four momentum is one with a four force magnitude of 0.

Is probability conserved in the dispersion equation? Psis are Minkowski spacetime solutions to
Diracs equation. So gravity is considered as a mere perturbation of Minkowski spacetime. So
this theory only applies to the weak-field limit and is a linearized gravity theory.

The metric remains Minkowskian, only spatiotemporal variations in polarizability can be
represented consistently as a (merely phenomenological) variation in this metric on the
Minkowski manifold.

Are all Psi polarizable? Particle-wave duality. The wavefunction for a photon (particle) is just
its electromagnetic wave description. But what about a Psi which describes some macroscopic
system?

It is as though, in the absence of mirrors to interact with, the vacuum fluctuations have nothing to
push against. The parallel mirror configuration suppresses the density of momentum
fluctuations normal to the mirror planes. This results in a decrease in the plane-normal
component of the momentum uncertainty and hence induces the mirrors along the plane-normal
axis connecting their plane centers. This change in /\X (normal) is independent of the masses of
the mirrors. Apparently the x,y,z components of momenta are related to the timelike component
of momentum, but not to each other, at least not in flat spacetime, that is.

EPR in curved spacetime and dispersion of probability distribution eigenfunctions.

Within this fluctuating spacetime is somewhat of an inconsistent phraseology as the spacetime
metric does not specify a unique spacetime topology.

Schrodingers Cat Paradox: long chain superpositions may not be possible if objects further up
the chain possess greater energy uncertainty than the link immediately preceding. Unitary
evolution does not apply to macroscopic objects. Spacetimes cannot superpose because of
ill-defined boundary conditions. No spacetime-free superpositions are admissible, in other
words.

Live and Dead cat do not constitute, however, different states of the same system. But isnt
that what is really required in order for a superposition to exist?


The concept of universal wavefunction is inconsistent with relativity theory. X(Psi(x,t)) = X;
T(Psi(x,t)) = T.

No such thing as an object at rest is treated within relativity theory. This is also a perhaps more
essential truth of the quantum theory.

Only if time is understood as a rate rather than a dimension like an extra spatial dimension can the
idea of a spatiotemporal variations in spacetime, i.e., gravity waves, be rendered self-consistent or
coherent.

The appearance of infinite quantities, such as mass, length, time, density, etc., points to the
breaddown of the relativistic description of reality under extreme boundary conditions.

Inertia may perhaps be explained in a more unified manner as stemming from resistance to
changes in 4-angular momentum.

Coherence as the essence of a gravitating body possessing inertia.


Two random fluctuations patterns, each individually containing no information, but in which the
two fluctuation patters are correlated by virtue of both belonging to the same quantum system
described by a single state function, . Information does not add because = 1 + 2 and P =
* = ||**2 = 1*1 + 2*2 + 21*2. Data can be combined additively. Information
cannot be so combined. Correlations arise through the cross term, 1*2.

Data are abstracted from the density functions, ||**2, and information is abstracted from the
wavefunctions, (I). Fluctuations which appear local, may always contain contributions from
nonlocal correlations. For example, <p**2> = <|p**2|> = <1 + 2|p**2|1 + 2> =
<1|p**2|1> + <2|p**2|2> + <1|p**2|2>. The last term may be the nonlocal
correlation of momentum functions.

Directionality of time dilation as due to relative velocity proof of spacetime structure? The
speed of time which is the magnitude of its velocity (known as proper time) is always c. The
component of velocity of an object along the direction of my time axis is based on the projection of
its time axis upon mine.

Aperiodic functions such as are treated by chaos theory, cannot be represented as a superposition
of periodic functions. As noted already, periodicity is only possible within a closed dynamical
system. So the existence of chaos is an indication that outside influences are at work.

The temporality of the past: the past when present did not possess enough time to crystallize.

On the hypothesis that only pure energy can be spontaneously created within a Euclidean or
flat quantum vacuum, e.g., virtual fermion/anti-fermion pairs, it followed that bound energy
structures, e.g., atoms, molecules, etc., are unanticipated structures. Such structures which
cannot be predicted from the flat quantum vacuum can, indeed, be engendered with a curved
spacetime which necessarily itself possesses some kind of bound structure after which a
momentum-energy fluctuation may pattern its own bound structure. Perhaps the curved vacuum
may be decomposed into two disjoint components: a purely flat and a purely curved one.
The vacuum momentum-energy fluctuation, when engendered within a curved spacetime, may be
thought to produce a back-reaction upon the vacuum state from which it is engendered, at least
upon its flat part, which cannot anticipate the appearance of such bound structures. Could this
be simply because energy and three momentum are normally orthogonal to one another with a flat
spacetime? Why do we expect the kind of back-reaction alluded to above? Because the
vacuum state prior to the appearance of the bound structure fluctuation cannot, at least in its purely
flat component, continue in a parallel phase space evolution with it. There is also the possibility
that newly engendered bound (momentum-energy) structures possess access to alternative vacuum
states altogether disjoint from the vacuum states originally producing them as fluctuations! This
would account for a continued back-reaction of bound energy structures upon a chosen unitary
vacuum state. On this view, bound momentum-energy structures connect multiple vacuum states.
Moreover, gravitation (and inertia, as well) may be a function of the interaction of multiple,
heretofore, uncommunicative vacuum states. Also, a curved vacuum state, i.e., a curved
spacetime, should be modeled as an interference pattern of multiple vacuum states, previously
disjoint.

If the hypothesis that mass is simply bound energy is correct, then we would expect a shift in the
balance between momentum and energy fluctuations to take place ( in favor of increased
momentum fluctuations and decreased energy fluctuations) as a mass approaches a gravitating
body. This shift, of course, would go hand in hand with a contraction in the positional uncertainty
and increase in the time uncertainty.

A vacuum state described by a curved spacetime may produce complex , bound energy structures.
Of course, when energy is supplied to the vacuum from outside as in the case of high power lasers,
linear accelerators, strong electric fields, etc., any number of bound energy structures may be
produced. Quantum numbers accounting must be obeyed, however. The expectation value of
all quantum numbers within the vacuum is zero.

. No possibility of synchronization, timing or reference frame without an embedding dynamic
substrate. Another proof of the necessity of antiparticles might be given in terms of the
application of the law of conservation of four momentum to vacuum fluctuation energy.
Similarly, the explanation for the Pauli and Bose principles may be derived from the same
application of this law of four conservation to fluctuations of quantum vacuum
momentum-energy, or the application of the continuity equation to virtual particle current
densities.

But if such a conservation law applies to vacuum fluctuations (virtual particles), then this would
imply the existence of nonlocally connected (and interlocked) matter and force fields. Perhaps
momentum conservation only applies to the vacuum expectation values, not all components of
which being zero within a nonvanishing gravitational field. Is subvocalization just the by product
of social conditioned response or is the mute part of the brain able to hear and understand the
subvocal utterance of the left?

It seems that the only way that equipartation of momentum-energy can be maintained (with regard
to expectation values) is if there is some embedding medium for interacting gas particles in which
stresses and strains can be developed and exchanged. It appears that there is a thermodynamic
requirement for a vacuum stress-momentum-energy field. Spontaneous emission, for example, is
necessary for thermodynamic laws to be upheld during exchanges of energy between excited
atoms and an electromagnetic field. Because the vacuum fluctuations do not themselves possess
inertia as individual particles, this may possess collective inertia through nonlocal connectivity.
Is back-reaction an inertial characteristic?

Can nonlocally connected quantum fields be connected to locally connected causal, classical
fields? Changes in energy along a continuum of degenerate energies, i.e., changes in the absence
of changes in the system wavefunction may constitute a kind of 2
nd
dimensional time.

The statistics of real particles and fields is taken bodily from the statistics of the quantum vacuum.
Vacuum statistics are determined by spin. The other quantum numbers constitute constraints
upon those statistics embodied in the quantum mechanical selection rules.

Investigate the meaning of a gravitational field itself (independently) altering the Heisenberg
uncertainties in /\x and /\t. Dont /\p and /\E, alone, adequately account for /\x and /\t?

So then, does matter distort /\x and /\t directly at the quantum level or indirectly through matters
gravitational field?

When a mass is accelerated, it not only accelerates in a spatial direction but also it decelerates
along the time axis. So the mass exchanges less energy with the vacuum and more energy (in the
form of 3-momentum) with itself. So fluctuation momentum density increases in the exact same
proportion as does the fluctuation energy density decrease. Fluctuation momentum and energy
current densities form a form vector which is transformed through a 2
nd
rank tensor.

The speed of light is a limiting velocity in vacuum because c in reality represents the speed of
time in that, when an object is at rest, i.e., in 3-d Euclidean space, it is being reconstituted from
energy (vacuum energy) at a maximum rate (this is for the time being, not to take any exotic
squeezed states into consideration) along a fourth dimensional spatial axis. Of course, to some
tiny degree the mass is reconstituting itself from its own energy store ( the basis for inertia and,
more subtly, gravitation, as well.
Because of the identity of all quantum particles of similar type, there can be no substantive
distinction between one such particle at one place (or time ) from another such particle at another
place (or time ).

It is interesting to note that in special relativity there is no such thing as a pure matter or charge
density; only matter currents and charge currents are treated within this theory. A matter density
is only conceivable within special relativity if an infinite time dilation is permitted. So from this
standpoint, flux is the primary substrate of reality in relativity theory and energy takes precedence
over matter, since matter is not conserved within special relativity although energy is supposed to
be a conserved quantity. This trend away from the notion of substance and toward that of flux is
much further advanced within the quantum theory and still more within relativistic quantum field
theory, in which, as noted elsewhere, even energy itself is no longer treated as perfectly but only
approximately conserved, that is, on the average, i.e., over sufficiently large time intervals. One
might well wonder what indeed is the relevant conserved quantity within quantum field theory, if it
is not to be energy, that is, what serves as the conserved substance within this theory. This
conserved quantity is probability.

We should note here that neither is energy strictly speaking conserved within classical general
relativity (as gravitational energy is not localizable within this theory) so that no consistent energy
continuity equation can be written down as a tensor differential equation; only a pseudo tensor
equation of continuity may be written down for the total energy - an equation which is, therefore
reference frame dependent.

. The sychronization of causally connected events is not as subtle as that of nonlocally connected
events. Since superposition effects are required for objects to possess macroscopic properties,
we do not expect such objects to be capable of forming superposition states themselves. This is
similar to the argument against the existence of spacetime constitutive processes taking place
within a particular spacetime continuum.

Quantum indistinguishability and the identity of particles of like kinds is perhaps related to the
distinction between the unitary evolution and the objective reduction of the wavefunction. The
hydrogen atom is the only atom on the periodic chart for which an exact solution for Schrodingers
equation exists. At what level in the hierarchy of matter does the identity of individuals of a kind
break down? The very identity of all electrons, protons, neutrons, and other fundamental
particles strongly suggests that these particles are not real, but mere abstractions.

We cannot give the concept of conservation any coherent formulation for open, unbounded
systems. Neither can any continuity equation be given for the underlying processes constituting
the boundedness of closed systems, that is, for the process of the system's initial manifesting of
itself. The whole notion of quantity itself must be altogether thrown out when radically open
systems are under consideration. Permanence, continuity, conservation principles, causality,
substance, probability, entropy, even modality at its most general - such physical concepts may
only be conventionally or provisionally defined for closed systems, for all systems are ultimately
open, and it is only the severity of approximation which determines the extent of a system's
closedness. There is no such consistent concept as global modality. In other words, necessity
and possibility are system dependent concepts.

Now an open space-time cannot possess a determinate spacetime topology, by arguments
presented elsewhere. The appearance of stable topological structures, therefore, must be
sustained through patterns of fluctuation in spacetime topology which are engendered from
outside any spacetime. Each particular global topology, itself a closed system of spacetime
though extending, perhaps, billions or tens of billions of light years, must possess its own unique
configuration energy, just as transitions from one topology to another have their characteristic
energy differences. Since both Schrodinger's wave equation of motion, as well as Einstein's
gravitational field equations, presuppose an already given spacetime topology, transitions from
one topology to another will not be describable by the wave equation, nor will the characteristic
energy of a particular topology, i.e., the power input required to sustain this topology in existence
for a period of time, be included as a gravitational source term for the field equations. Clearly,
gravitational source terms interact according to general relativity only if they are contained within
the self same topological manifold and so fluctuations in the sub-microscopic topology of
spacetime, or the energy intrinsic to such fluctuations, must not be included in the gravitational
source term, Ti,k, of the Einstein field equations.

Now fluctuations in the energy of the quantum vacuum must be extremely violent before
expecting any gravitational effects. In other words, the energy of the vacuum fluctuations must
approach the Planck energy before we are forced to give consideration to Quantum Gravity theory.
But again, it is at precisely this stage at which spacetime topology begins fluctuate non-negligibly
and potential source terms for Ti,k begin to "slip through the cracks." Considerations such as this
may provide a natural explanation for the alleged high energy cutoff of the gravitational source
term within theories such as Sakharov's.

QQ: Is establishment of the global spacetime metric equivalent to the establishment of a
spacetime topology? No. 1/98

6/97 Because causal relationships are always describable in terms of sets of differential
equations, these relationships must be supposed to inhere within a continuously differentiable
manifold of determinate topological structure. Alterations in the topology of a continuously
differentiable manifold cannot be described by a set of differential equations definable on the
original manifold. This is why we do not expect that the energies of the submicroscopic
topological fluctuations may comprise a contribution to a gravitational source term in the Einstein
field equations. A supermanifold must ground the transformation of one topology into another
nonequivalent topology such that this topological inequivalence is ultimately reducible within the
supermanifold of higher order topological structure which remains constant throughout the lower
order topological transformation. The formalism of General Relativity is not equipped to
describe such a topological supermanifold.

7/97 This reminds us of attempts to ground the discontinuous change in the wavefunction
which in between measurements evolves deterministically according to the Schrodinger equation
of motion in terms of some nonlinear time-dependent version of the S-eqn.

Notice that the transformation of one topology into a nonequivalent one necessitates a breaching of
the original topological manifold introducing discontinuities which prevent the existence of any
bridge functions being defined mediating the transformation which possess continuous
differentiability. No consistent solutions to a given set of differential equations exists if the only
possible solutions are functions which are themselves not continuously differentiable. All
topological transformations must be described in terms of bridge functions which cannot be
defined on the manifolds being transformed and so all topological transformations must be
mediated from outside all manifolds of determinate topological structure taking part in the
topological transformations. Since a metric presupposes an embedding topological manifold,
geometrodynamic fluctuations in spacetime topology cannot be described within general relativity
theory.

Projections of topological transformations in a given space onto a subspace may present the
appearance of nontopological transformations within the smaller space. If a chance event yields
meaning and significance, it is only because of a common, underlying (concrete) ground of the two
things connected. The truly concrete, that is, the ultimate ground of Being, cannot be divided, but
can only appear so. To entertain the notion of two separate grounds, themselves possessing no
underlying and still more ultimate ground connecting them in the sense of making them, one with
the other, (substantially) continuous, is to set up definitions in a manner which invites
self-contradiction. We know that the action by which the continuum of space and time are
constituted presupposes a kind of temporality, but one without scale or direction in which the
connectivity of the pre-phenomenal is internal but at once without boundaries.

July 1997
Delayed choice experiments discussion here.

. The point is that this idea leads to an infinite regress if we assume that the brain represents a
closed system. A so-called state can only possess a concrete, as opposed to a merely abstract,
significance if it is placed within an open context, itself not consistently treatable as a state or
superstate, if you will. The attempt to impose a state description upon a temporally evolving
dynamic, i.e., a open system, leads to a system which changes its state nondeterministically. The
origin of the fluctuation Hamiltonian of a quantum mechanical system owes generally to
describing the system with a merely approximate Hamiltonian leading to an approximate system
wavefunction. The system undergoes transitions between its various approximate eigenenergies
due to the outside influence of the fluctuation Hamiltonian, H
fluc
. The quantum system with its
fluctuation Hamiltonian is just an abstraction from the open-ended energy context of the quantum
vacuum field itself, for when all sources of real particles and fields have been taken into account in
the construction of the system Hamiltonian, a certain small fluctuation term remains which cannot
be absorbed into the system Hamiltonian so as to define a purely time-independent system. This
fluctuation term is owing to the existence of a quantum vacuum zero-point energy field. It is this
term, what we will call, H
zpf
, which prevents any quantum system from ever existing in a true
energy eigenstate with ,

=
0
e
-i

And this is why we have been saying that the fluctuations in vacuum energy are the cause of the
time-dependent evolution of quantum systems generally.

Local causal interactions obtain between the expectation values of given physical observables.
Nonlocal causal interactions obtain between the instantaneous values of physical observables, i.e.,
is responsible for the existence of correlations between fluctuations. Expectation values of an
observable can only be defined when the wavefunction in question, from which these values are
derived, is bounded in space and time. Measurement of a quantum mechanical observable
presupposes the presence of boundary conditions on the wavefunction representing the system in
question. In this case, the wavefunction may be represented as a finite superposition of
eigenfunctions of that observable. If a wavefunction is unbounded, then is must be represented as
a continuum of an infinite superposition of eigenfunctions.

July 1997
These eigenfunctions of such an infinite superposition cannot be individually normalized
without the artifice of the delta Dirac function being included within the normalization integral.
In other words, the eigenfunctions within a superposition continuum cannot be represented within
a Hilbert space. Consequently, Hilbert's action minimalization integral cannot be computed for a
system represented by a continuum of eigenfunctions, i.e., for an unbounded wavefunction, and so
such a system cannot be described by Einstein's gravitational field equations, since the field
equations and the Hilbert action integral are precisely equivalent. We are saying that the
stress-momentum-energy tensor, Ti,k,may only be nonvanishing provided that this tensor's
associated eigenfunction is spatiotemporally bounded. The fundamental fluctuations in the
vacuum's momentum-energy represent just the sort of unbounded action for which an action
minimization integral cannot be defined.


December 1997
An important observation in this connection is the fact that the gravitation energy in
General Relativity cannot be localized in the specific sense that when one attempts to include the
gravitational energy in the total stress-momentum-energy tensor of the field equations, a
pseudotensor results which is not generally covariant. The energy of this pseudotensor is only
conserved in certain specific coordinate systems, such as in harmonic coordinate systems.
Parallel transport of a small volume in which the total energy is defined by this pseudotensor is not
generally reversible and we do not here have a conservative force. It has been said that the
inverse-square law breaks down in strongly curved spacetimes. This fact may well be related to
the problem of the localization of gravitational energy within the theory of General Relativity.
Thermodynamically, the vacuum momentum-energy field constitutes an exemplar par excellence
of a thermal heat bath, the interaction with which by any other energy system will result in the
appearance of irreversibility within this system's temporal evolution. We note here that the
temporal evolution of the Schrodinger equation is, strictly speaking, reversible. Also, we noted
elsewhere the very close similarity between the Schrodinger and Diffusion equations; more
particularly, that a mere substitution of it = t' within the Schrodinger equation transforms it into the
Diffusion equation.

An example of the sustaining of a phenomenal form against a continual change in the underlying
ground is the degenerate wavefunctions. The wavefunction represents the most that can be
known about a quantum system, but when degeneracy of the wavefunction exists, it is possible for
the wavefunction to undergo temporal evolution while one or more of the observables grounded in
the changing wavefunction persist unchanged.

Q: Does the fact that a quantum system is in an energy superposition state presuppose that the
system is undergoing fluctuations in its energy?

A: In representing the wavefunction of a complex quantum system in terms of an approximate set
of eigenfunctions, one necessarily introduces virtual transitions between the approximated
eigenvalues of these eigenfunctions as a way of representing the influence of the relatively small
fluctuation component of the Hamiltonian of the system. This is because an open system cannot
be partitioned into dual disjoint sets which together descriptively exhaust the system. And so the
system, not able to be unified at a purely formal level, must always manifest forms as dynamically
changing if it manifests them at all. The system, in other words, will always possess a middle
which cannot be excluded by any logical juxtaposition of formal, that is, dually opposite,
categories and from out of which utterly novel forms will always be emerging in a way not
explicable in terms of the forms which have been previously manifested by the system. This is,
for example, why a perturbative analysis of a quantum mechanical system always yields a system
which cannot be validly represented in an energy eigenstate.

Still more, all three laws of thermodynamics are contradicted when the influences of the open
system of the vacuum energy field are taken into account. The 1st Law of Thermodynamics:
this is just the standard energy conservation law and energy is not conserved in virtual quantum
processes. The 2nd Law of Thermodynamics: the entropy of all closed thermodynamic systems
must increase as a result of processes taking place within this system. The quantum vacuum is not
a spatially closed system since its very action constitutes any local spacetime. Moreover the
temporal evolution of all physical systems is reducible to changes in system energy, discretely or
continuously. If the system is in an energy eigenstate, then only the phase of the systems
wavefunction evolves. But the absolute phase of a quantum mechanical system has no physical
meaning within quantum theory - only relative phases have physical meaning. But if the two
systems with a relative phase difference can be consistently described as a single system with a
unique wavefunction, then the relative phases of the two component subsystems cannot be
known without interacting with the system through some third system. So a quantum system in
an energy eigenstate possesses no genuine or physical temporality. The 3rd Law of
Thermodynamics: the energy of a perfectly ordered crystal at 0 degrees Kelvin is zero. The
quantum vacuum possesses an ineradicable temperature. It also possesses an entropy and this
vacuum is in continual interaction or energy exchange with all objects in spacetime. No crystal
could exist in a "perfectly ordered" state so long as it exchanges energy with a thermal reservoir
possessing entropy such as the quantum mechanical vacuum. Reversible systems therefore,
contain data but do not actually contain information; however, such systems do potentially contain
information, but not information with a predetermined content, or reference.

There is a confusion of the direction of time with the temporal evolution of physical processes to
states of progressively greater entropy. We are either referring to a global or cosmic time when
we speak of the 'direction of time" or we are only speaking in this way metaphorically. But a
global time is only definable if reality is a closed system. But since there is no place for
irreversibility within a truly closed system, the notion of a direction of time makes no sense in
either the case of a closed or an open cosmic system. The notion is incoherent in the case of an
open system because of the incoherence of any notion of there being a global time which then
might be supposed to be irreversible. In the case of a closed system, there is simply no possible
basis for irreversibility within a system possessing a finite and unchanging number of discrete
states.

Mathematically speaking, a minimization integral does not "exist" if the integral, or various
parameters of its argument, i.e., of which this integral is a function, do not satisfy certain boundary
conditions. In other words, it is only by virtue of nonlocal quantum correlations that this system
might unify itself so as to possess an objective simultaneity. But correlations within a system
imply convergent temporal evolution of the systems component processes. There is, however, no
place for the phenomenon of convergence within either deterministic computational statespaces,
nor within an ergodic dynamical system. Information is not here a conserved physical quantity
and so if in some context energy and information are inter-definable, this is because within this
context the principle of the conservation of energy does not strictly hold.

March 1998
Conservation laws only apply to what may properly be termed substances. Prior to the
advent of atomic theory in the 19th Century, matter was thought to be a substance and therefore a
conserved quantity. With the advent of the theory of Special Relativity and Einsteins' famous
equation, E = mc2, matter was seen to be not conserved in some physical processes because of its
interconvertibility into energy, itself thought to be the physical quantity which was truly
conserved. But in light of advances of quantum theory, particularly within the subfield of
relativistic quantum field theory, which treats of virtual particle/field reactions, it is known now
that not even "energy" is conserved and so can no longer be considered to be the ultimate
underlying conserved substance or reality. To what substance can modern physics point which is
interconvertible with energy and which obeys a conservation law, qualifying as the substance of
physical reality, if you will?

March 1998
Because energy is ultimately not conserved, there is a profound difficulty in making the
notion of objective space and time coherent. For space may only be objectively defined
operationally in terms of the spatial relationships of bodies composed of some conserved
substance. Moreover, time must be also operationally defined if it is to be understood as a
genuinely objective concept, that is, in terms of the more primitive notions of simultaneity,
temporal order, and duration. Since there may be no underlying permanent substance to render
the existent objectively real, space and time must be reduced to being merely relative and
phenomenal.


Another reason to believe that a physical continuity equation does not apply to information is that
information appears to reside in between the discrete energy levels of crystalline, or
quasi-crystalline quantum systems, and so information is not here really localizable, in principle.
Any functionalist theory of mind must run up against mental states for which it cannot supply
corresponding functional states. This is because, in essence, identically prepared quantum
mechanical states, themselves constituting the most exacting definition of functionalist brain
states, frequently produce a wide variety of outcomes whenever measurements are performed on
them with respect to observables incompatible with that observable with respect to which the
quantum system was prepared.

It is not possible to define a deterministic trajectory in phase space if the phase space of the system
is expanding, say, due to the expansion of the Universe. This is because no non-arbitrary
one-to-one functions of the phase space variables can be defined to represent the deterministic
evolution of the system through the expanding phase space. In other words, there is no
non-dynamical embedding "superstatespace" in terms of which the evolution of the trajectories
with respect to the state space variables of the expanding state space may be defined. We always
gain knowledge of a system's behavior through the positing of a determinsitic model of the system,
but at the expense of relegating understanding of the motive mainspring of the system to the
mysterious. Kinematics ignores the dynamics which sustains the illusion of the permanence of
the entities with respect to which the kinematic variables are defined: Time cannot be captured
within a formal description.

EXPERIMENT: If very sensitive spectroscopic observations can be made of the deflected
stellar images predicted by general relativity to occur during a total solar eclipse, then chromatic
dispersion of the various optical wavelengths may be observed indicating that the true mechanism
of gravitational light deflection is not on account of space-time curvature produced by the Sun's
mass, but due to the refraction of the starlight on its passing through a vacuum of radially
decreasing zero-point energy density. We would expect the zero-point density of 3-momentum
of the vacuum to actually increase in step with the radially decreasing vacuum energy density.
Since we assume that in free space the fluctuations in vacuum four-momentum (which are either 0
or fall outside the scope of T
i,k
) are equipartatively distributed among the four distinct
four-momentum components, any decrease in the density of energy fluctuations in the vacuum
would be expressed in an equal increase in each of the 3-momentum components (if geometry, i.e.,
curvature, is not taken into account) equal to the cube root of E
vac
Now it is the geometry of
the matter distribution as well as its density distribution which determines the geometry of the
redistribution of the vacuums four-momentum fluctuation components.

DISCUSSION: This is due to the general properties of refractive media where wavelengths of
different energy (different size ) traversing a refractive medium must follow slightly different
trajectories with shorter wavelengths being refracted more than longer wavelengths. Since the
vacuum's zero-point energy is the zero-calibration of all energy measuring instruments, it is
expected that the energy of a photon passing through a vacuum of increasing zero-point energy
will experience an apparent shift in its observed energy ( gravitational redshift ) commensurate to
the change in the zero-point energy between the point of its emission and the point of its absorption
( by an energy measuring instrument ). Gravitational time dilation is also explicable in terms of
the proposed vacuum mechanism of gravitation.

EXPERIMENT: Observed decreases in the barrier tunneling probabilities within a "de-tuned"
resonant cavity. This cavity would enclose the potential energy barrier and will possess a specific
geometry such that vacuum electromagnetic field fluctuations are suppressed which possess an
energy approximating the difference in energy between the tunneling particle and the potential
barrier.

EXPERIMENT: Set up a series of Casimir capacitor plates in which the separation between the
plates is changed by a discrete amount as one moves in line from one plate to the next. Starting
from the end of the series where the plate separation is smallest, project a coherent beam of
photons through the series of plates and observe the shift in the beam's frequency. The fractional
change in the vacuum electromagnetic field energy density should give the fractional change in the
frequency (energy) of the coherent light beam. The beam may also be projected through the
series of Casimir plates at a small angle and the amount of refraction of the beam measured.
There is a practical problem concerning the interpretation of the energy uncertainty of unstable
"elementary" particles. Physicists do not seem to have convinced themselves as to whether this
energy uncertainty which is responsible for the eventual decay of all unstable particles is to be
understood as being inherent in the structure of the particle itself, or as inherent in the energy
structure of the vacuum which perhaps induces the decay of the particle through perturbing energy
fluctuations of a fundamental nature. The fact that a particle possesses an uncertainty in its
energy, however arbitrarily small, implies that there is a nonzero finite probability that the particle
will experience a fluctuation in its energy large enough to induce decay of the particle. According
to Milloni, a preeminent thinker on the subject of the quantum vacuum, the energy uncertainty of
an unstable excited atom, for instance, is owing not only to the perturbative influence of the
vacuum electromagnetic field, but also to what is called "radiation reaction." Both of these
components play a formally equal role in composing the overall energy uncertainty, /\E, of the
unstable atom. Of course, the uncertainties in any observable, not just in the energy, are, we
might well say, radically overdetermined. This is because, for example, in the case of the energy
uncertainty, there is a truly indefinite number of different admixtures of eigenenergies which, if
superposed, will sum together to give one an energy uncertainty of precisely /\E, whatever /\E
happens to be for the system one is considering. /\p x /\x >= h and the tunneling of a particle
across a potential energy barrier can therefore be interpreted in two complementary ways: one
may suppose that the tunneling particle possesses a positional uncertainty which is greater than or
comparable to the width of the barrier, or one might suppose, contrariwise, that the momentum
uncertainty of the particle is such that there is a likelihood that the particle will experience a
momentum fluctuation strong enough to "boost" the particle "over" the potential barrier. Either
interpretation seems to adequately model the particle's tunneling across the potential barrier. The
first interpretation relies on the positional uncertainty inherent per the wave description and the
second interpretation on the momental uncertainty per the particle description. In the first case
we are thinking of a momentum fluctuation of a wavelike entity with positional uncertainty
whereas in the second we are thinking of a fluctuation in the particle's position to which is
associated a momentum uncertainty. We may say that the momentum uncertainty of a particle is
inherent in the particle while its positional uncertainty is induced by the attendant fluctuations in
its momentum whereas the positional uncertainty of a wave is inherent while its momentum
uncertainty is induced by the attendant fluctuations in the wave's position.

In the Fourier expansion of a function of x and t, f(x,t), which possesses discontinuous endpoints,
we find that no matter who many harmonics are added together, there will continue to exist at these
endpoints both an undershoot and an overshoot. This is what is called Gibbs phenomenon.
Interestingly, the magnitude of the overshoot is unaffected by the number harmonics one adds
together to construct the Fourier transform, F(w). In order for the function to be properly
expressed in terms of F(w), either we must deviate from perfect orthogonality of the energy
eigenfunctions which we are summing together to approximate f(x,t), or we must not permit f(x,t)
to be truly discontinuous. This suggests that an interaction of amplitudes corresponding to
extremely low probabilities underlie the dynamics of quantum tunneling phenomena.

Spacetime fluctuations are related to momentum-energy fluctuations in the sense that the more
violent the spacetime flux, the more calm becomes the momentum-energy flux. The most precise
spacetime trajectory would them be determined by fluctuations of momentum-energy of the
greatest possible violence! A serious problem for general relativity presented here is that violent
momentum-energy fluctuations should normally be associated with equally violent gravitational
field fluctuations, i.e., gravitational waves or great energy, but this is inconsistent with mild
fluctuations in the spacetime metric.

12/96 No massive body can travel faster than the velocity of light because there is no stable,
continuously existing medium, as in the case of the "still air" for sound, which supports the
propagation of light. Rather, the quantum mechanical vacuum, specifically the quantum vacuum
electromagnetic field, "supports" the propagation of real electromagnetic waves, i.e., real photons,
in the particle description. This medium supportive of the transmission of light is composed of
vacuum fluctuations of momentum-energy otherwise known as zero-point fluctuations of the
vacuum. This quantum vacuum cannot serve as an absolute reference frame relative to which an
observer could move at some finite velocity, and this is why the velocity of light must always have
the same value, c, regardless of the state of motion of any observer. What prevents the vacuum
from being seized upon as an absolute reference frame is the fact that it is composed of energy
fluctuations which possess a positional uncertainty, /\x, and a time uncertainty, /\t, such that /\x//\t
= < c >. We say , < c > instead of c because locally, that is, over submicroscopic distances, the
velocity of light can be exceeded within "submicroscopic times." This is all to say that, the
velocity of light, c, = < c > over distances, x, > /\x over times, t, > /\t. This suggests that the
Minkowski light cone representation of spacetime must begin to break down as one approaches the
vertex of the light cone - the boundaries between the tiny region, absolute past/here-now/absolute
future, and the elsewhere region must lose its neat rectilinearity as one approaches spacetime
dimensions, x,t < /\x, /\t. It is as though spacetime possessed a kind of "granularity" made up of
three dimensional "cells" of minimum dimension, /\x, and lifetime, /\t. The lifetime of a given
cell may be re-expressed as a frequency, 1//\t, so that we may think of each "cell" as being
continuously recreated or reformed at frequency, f = 1//\t, where /\t is, again, the lifetime of the
cell. The energy, /\E, of each cell is constantly being absorbed by the vacuum and recreated at the
frequency, f, described above. An analogy with one's personal computer will serve to help us
understand how what has been said thus far bears on the problem of the origin of the finite,
not-to-be-exceeded value of the speed of light, c. It is obvious upon a moment's reflection that
if one "grabs" an icon on the left hand side of one's computer screen by "clicking on it" once and
"dragging" this icon across the screen that one cannot move the icon in this way arbitrarily quickly,
but there is some precisely definable limit to how fast any object represented on the screen can
move across it. This limit, if one is talking about an "icon" the size of a single pixel, is determined
quite simply from two easily ascertainable parameters, the width of a "pixel," i.e., the minimum
image length scale or resolution of the computer screen, and the clock rate of the computer's CPU,
or central processing unit. For example, if the clock rate of the CPU is 100Mhz, that is, 100
million (108) cycles per second, and the pixel (assumed to be square) dimension is, say, 100
microns ( 10-4) meters, then the theoretical limit to how fast a pixel-sized "represented object"
may move across the computer monitor is about 108 x 10-4 = 104 meters/sec. This is an
extremely high velocity, and the actual practical limit is probably several orders of magnitude
smaller than this figure, say, around 10 meters/sec for an average sized icon. The reason for this
difference in the theoretical and practical limits in the "represented object," velocity, or the
"representational velocity" for a particular computer monitor we will go into in greater detail a
little later. Suffice to say here that the crux of the problem of the finite limit on propagation
speed has everything to do with the fact that the "objects" which we have been considering are, in
reality, not objects at all, but are merely "represented objects," or "object representations." As
long as one supposes, perhaps unreflectingly, that "physical objects" are hard and massy,
composed of some simple, undifferentiated "stuff" which persists through time indefinitely
because quite indifferent to the "passage of time," and as long as one conceives of space as a
"veritable emptiness" through which matter may indifferently pass, then the idea of an absolute
limit to the velocity of masses through "the void" must seem as arbitrary as the gravitational action
between masses separated by an empty void seems inherently mysterious. But according to
modern quantum theory, all operators corresponding to physical observables are decomposable in
terms of two fundamental operators, `A and `At, the annihilation and creation operators. This is
what is called the 2nd quantization formalism, and this theory supplants the semi-classical, "old
quantum theory" of Bohr, Rutherford, and Planck. The so-called "solar system" model of the
atom which is still being taught in high schools throughout the advanced, industrialized world is an
outstanding artifact of this early version of quantum theory. Thus far, the analogy with the
computer strongly suggests the type of mechanism which may lie behind the universal speed limit
represented by the velocity of light if one associates the pixel length and (clock rate)-1 with the
inherent length and time scales of spacetime, /\x and /\t, if, indeed, these exist. This would be
possible if the energy and momentum uncertainties, /\E and /\p, which engender /\x, /\t, could be
traced to the fluctuating momentum-energy of the quantum vacuum itself. We may argue in favor
of this in the following way.

There are two ways to interpret the decay of an unstable nucleus through the ejection of an
alpha particle. The traditional approach is in terms of the positional uncertainty of the alpha
particle which is "ejected" This particle has a nonzero probability of being found outside the
nucleus due to positional uncertainty of the particle, /\r. An alternative approach is to think in
terms of the energy uncertainty of this ejected particle. By virtue of a nonzero energy uncertainty,
there is a small probability that the particle will experience an energy boost, /\E, greater than the
nuclear binding energy associated with the strong nuclear force binding the particle to its nucleus.
Traditionally, this energy fluctuation was thought to have originated within the nucleus itself. It
is more likely that this fluctuation energy is supplied by the quantum vacuum in which the unstable
nucleus is embedded and with which it is in continual interaction ( momentum-energy exchange.

Call the energy of an energy fluctuation, Ex , and call any fluctuation in energy larger
than Ex, Ez. If the energy uncertainty, ^E, is thought to be associated with a particle itself, then
we face the serious problem of a nonlinearity in the probability distribution function describing the
spectrum of energy eigenstates which comprise the energy uncertainty of the particle. This is
because the occurrence of an energy fluctuation, Ez > Ex, implies that no fluctuation in energy, Ex
< E < Ez, has already been experienced by the particle, for this would have meant the previous
dissolution of the particle, whereupon the probability of energy fluctuation, Ez, of the particle's
intrinsic energy would become 0. So we see that the probability of the occurrence of perturbation
energy, Ez > Ex, i.e., P(Ez), must be modified so that the new probability, taking into account the
interdependence of all perturbation probabilities for energies, Ez > E > Ex, that is, P'(Ez),
becomes,

[ 1 - S(dP(E)) on [E
0
to E
x
] = S(dP'(E)) on [E
x
to E ]


This situation does not lead to a discontinuity in the perturbation energy probability function,
however, as

[ 1 - S(dP(E))],

is exactly zero at the "cusp" where the modified probability function, P'(E), begins and the original
probability function, P(E), ends, in the composite function, which is given below,

P = P(E), for 0 < E
< Ex

P = [1 - S(dP(E))], for E > Ex

However, if the original probability function, P(E), is normalized, then the new, modified
probability function, P'(E), cannot be normalized.

If, on the other hand, we normalize this new function, we then find that the predicted
probabilities for each of the energy eigenstates, which together comprise the total energy
uncertainty of the quantum mechanical system in question, will no longer conform to the results of
experiment because the original probability distribution function, P(E), is now no longer properly
normalized. This is because the original wavefunction, upon which the perturbation energy
probability function is based, is, in fact, the correct wavefunction - the modified probability
function, given above, is simply false: very simply, we must not interpret the energy uncertainty
of, e.g., unstable subatomic particles, as residing with the particles themselves, but with the
quantum mechanical vacuum state with which these particles continually interact, via constant
energy exchange with this vacuum; more accurately, the particles, themselves, are constituted by
various energy exchanges between the vacuum and itself and the particle is continually being
reconstituted out of the continual transformation of this vacuum energy. It is the organization of
this vacuum energy into a form represented by the particle which more or less possesses
permanence or persistence through time that we normally think of as intrinsic to a particle as such,
not the vacuum energy itself, since it is the cyclic replenishing of the particle's energy out of this
vacuum which itself marks the passage of time for the particle. This argument for the vacuum as
the origin of particle energy uncertainty follows from the assumption that the products of the
spontaneous disintegration of the original particle are collectively described by the original
particle's wavefunction even after the components have separated into which the particle has
disintegrated. Here we have a situation which is quite dissimilar in principle to the abrupt change
to the structure of the Hydrogen atom's ground state energy induced by the sudden switching on of
a magnetic field in its vicinity. The Hamiltonian of the Hydrogen atom is altered through the
sudden addition of the energy of the magnetic field, however, and this, in turn, precipitously alters
the wavefunction of the Hydrogen atom which is calculated from the Hamiltonian function via the
time-independent Schrodinger equation. Quantum physicists will say that the energy levels of the
Hydrogen atom were degenerate with respect to the spin quantum number until the switching on of
the magnetic field coupling to the atom's spin altered the Hamiltonian, and, hence, its attendant
wavefunction. The origin of the discontinuous change in the Hydrogen atom's wavefunction is as
much due to the intrinsic spin structure of the atom as it is to the sudden appearance of a magnetic
field to which the spin couples. In the case of the spontaneous disintegration of the unstable
particle, no new term need be added to the particle's Hamiltonian to account for the disintegration
event which was not already present prior to this event and this is why no change in the particle's
wavefunction, discontinuous or otherwise, is observed, but, as we indicated already, the very same
wavefunction suffices to describe the products of the disintegration as were sufficient to describe
the particle during the moments leading up to this inherently unpredictable event. It is simply that
the original Hamiltonian describing the total energy of the unstable particle all along contained an
energy term which was unaffected by the disintegration event. This energy term must not have
been associated with the original atom, but was independent of it and equally present both before
and after the disintegration took place: the vacuum energy term of the Hamiltonian. The
influence of the vacuum energy term of the Hamiltonian is probably generally responsible for the
phenomenon of entanglement of widely separated quantum states which had previously interacted.
The nonlocal connectivity of the local vacuum energy terms in the Hamiltonians of the quantum
states, considered separately, may provide the mechanism for such entanglement of quantum
states.

01/97 Perhaps the same wavefunction describes the products of the disintegration because the
total energy of the products remains the same as that of the particle just prior to the disintegration
event and what makes this possible is a change in the vacuum energy term of the Hamiltonian
which compensates the changes to all the other energy terms, conserving the total energy. Or
perhaps, rather, the change in energy "causing" the disintegration, because <= /\E, cannot be
detected because energy perturbation possessed a duration of < /\t?

12/96 An alternate way to view the breakdown of the Minkowski lightcone description, which
seems to imply, by the way, that gravitation must be taken into account over submicroscopic
distances and times, is to think of c representing the actual infinitesimal/instantaneous value of
the velocity of light with the boundaries between "here-now" and "elsewhere" remaining
well-defined all the way to the vertex, but with greater and greater fluctuations in momentum and
energy as one approaches this vertex. The breakdown of the Minkowski description is now
represented in terms of exchanges of energy between the absolute past and absolute future and
exchanges of momentum between the "here-now" region and the "elsewhere" region.

5/97 This alternative description of the breakdown of the Minkowski lightcone description
replaces the more traditional interpretation of this breakdown where the spacetime boundaries
defining the cone's vertex experience geometrodynamic fluctuations in the topology of
submicroscopic spacetime which some theorists have tried to understand in terms of oscillations in
the relative proportions of graviton processes in the form of graviton creation/annihilation with
respect to graviton emission/ absorption. In the alternative interpretation, alluded to above,
virtual graviton interactions are rendered superfluous, being replaced by merely
creation/annihilation and emission/absorption of field momentum/energy in the form of a
spectrum of virtual bosons mediating the nongravitational fundamental forces, i.e., the
electromagnetic, strong, and weak nuclear forces, and of which gravitation is a phenomenal
manifestation. On this view, gravitation is a "parasitic force" which does not possess a unique
exchange particle. So one view of the vacuum is that of a matrix of "zero-point" fluctuations in
energy of lifetime, /\t, and momentum fluctuations possessing an uncertainty in position, /\x.

5/97 In the same way that momentum exchanges between subatomic particles mediate the
attractive/ repulsive forces acting between them in three dimensions and in this way constituting
the bound energy structure of matter to which inertia owes its origin - in this way the energy
exchanges between different simultaneity planes which manifests itself as quantum energy
fluctuations associated with Heisenberg energy uncertainty, mediate forces which may either
speed up or slow down the rate of cosmological expansion (time).
06/98
Such forces may be
intimately involved with the underlying mechanism of gravitation within the quantum mechanical
vacuum.



Now it just so happens that one way of expressing the speed of light is in terms of /\x and /\t, that is,

c = < c > = /\x//\t

In order for one to travel a measurable distance relative to a given vacuum fluctuation, one must be
able to travel a distance, x, > /\x within the time, /\t, that the fluctuation is in existence. This is
merely to say, that one must begin traveling at a velocity greater than c before one's motion
becomes measurable relative to the physical vacuum. But of course one must, presumably, first
have attained sub-light velocities relative to this physical vacuum before actually reaching c and
beyond. Now if one's velocity is not measurable relative to the reservoir of vacuum fluctuations,
then how can one's acceleration relative to these fluctuations be measurable or have a physical
meaning? If the value of some variable is constant, then surely its first time derivative is zero.
So if the velocity of the observer is necessarily zero relative to vacuum fluctuations, then one's
acceleration relative to these same fluctuations must also be zero. By Einstein's equivalence
principle, then neither can the vacuum accelerate relative to any distributions of mass and energy
within spacetime. This simply means that a given mass cannot exert a gravitational force upon
the vacuum fluctuations, nor can the vacuum fluctuations exert any gravitational influence upon
masses.

12/97 One of the effects of a gravitational field is that the vacuum actually acquires a mass
because the alteration in the vacuum statistics induced by a mass distribution falls off only
gradually with distance - with the inverse-square in the case of spherical mass distributions. The
density of momentum fluctuations ( in the form of the vector boson exchange particles ) in the
quantum vacuum is greater than its free space value in the vicinity of mass distributions.
Similarly, the density of energy fluctuations in the form of the density of virtual
fermion/antifermion creation-annihilation events within the vicinity of these mass distributions is
correspondingly decreased. Since the density of the Heisenberg uncertainty in 3-momentum
increases with closing distance to a given massive body, we should expect a net field momentum
of the vacuum in the direction of the body's centroid of mass. At the same time, the Heisenberg
uncertainty in the vacuum's purely imaginary component of its 4-momentum should decrease in
the direction of the centroid of mass of this body. Another way of looking at this is to think of the
virtual fermion/antifermion pairs as having two different interpretations: they may be viewed
either as an energy fluctuation or as a momentum fluctuation (photon, in the case of an
electron/positron pair)
06/98



So a test mass should experience an energy gradient in the direction of the massive body (or its
centroid). This energy gradient only points in the correct direction, i.e., toward the mass rather
than away from the mass, if the relativistic mass of the test mass is tied (in the appropriate manner)
to the momentum and energy density of the vacuum. As the test mass approaches the massive
body, the density of momentum fluctuations within the test mass increase in density - through the
enhancing effect of the increased ambient density of 3-momentum fluctuations within the vacuum
in which the test mass momentarily is residing, while the density of energy fluctuations within the
test mass decreases in a corresponding and complementary manner to the increase in the density of
3-momentum fluctuations. This effect is to be explained by the fact that the Pauli Exclusion
Principle applies equally to real and virtual fermions and by the additional fact that the mechanism
underlying both lasing and Bose condensation (which has the exact opposite effect upon bosons
which the Pauli Principle has upon fermions) itself also applies indescriminately to both real and
virtual bosons. Because the 3-momentum and purely imaginary 4-momentum (i.e., energy)
fluctuation densities may be understood as components of a conserved 4 vector, i.e., that of total
4-momentum, the energy uncertainty of a local region of the quantum vacuum can be affected by
the presence of real bosons just as the purely spatial components of the fluctuating 4 momentum in
this vacuum may be affected by the presence of real fermions. The equality of the effects of real
fermions with real bosons upon the statistics of the vacuum affecting gravity may perhaps be
explained in terms of the equivalence in the description of mass as either fermions acting via the
Pauli Principle upon this vacuum or as purely bosons so acting, through the appropriate combining
of fermions into pairs so as to represent them as "effective bosons."

A very important paper on the origins of quantum noise contains a number of observations which
lend support to the above idea of treating the momentum and energy uncertainty ( in terms of their
fluctuations) as components of a four vector. Particularly supporting selections from this paper
(given below) are highlighted in blue with the remaining text in red.


The Origins of Quantum Noise in Photonics

------------------------------------------------------------------------


We explain the origins of quantum noise and how quantum noise in lasers and amplifiers can be
described by classical noise sources.

I. Spontaneous Current

Classical noise is due to thermal motion. Quantum noise has a different origin. It results from
fluctuations that we associate with the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. For example, consider a
model of an atom consisting of an electron in a potential well shown in Fig. 1. Suppose the electron
is in its ground state. As a result of the confinement and the uncertainty relation of position and
momentum, the electron has momentum fluctuations. There is an energy associated with these
fluctuations which raises the ground state in energy above the bottom of the well.


Figure 1: Momentum fluctuations of an electron in
the ground state occur at the frequencies of transitions to excited states.


------------------------------------------------------------------------


This is elementary quantum mechanics, but one topic usually not discussed in quantum mechanics
is the frequency spectrum of the momentum fluctuations. In noise theory, the frequency spectrum
of a random variable is found by calculating the correlation function of the variable at two times.
This is most easily done in the Heisenberg picture of quantum mechanics, where the operators are
time-dependent and the wave functions describe initial states. A simple calculation shows that the
correlation function of the momentum operator at two times is


This calculation shows that the momentum fluctuations are composed of all the frequencies of
transitions from the ground state to excited states. Thus momentum fluctuations occur at optical
frequencies.

The electron is charged, so there is a current associated with the electron momentum:


We call this fluctuating current that is present even in the absence of an applied field a
"spontaneous current." It is a source of quantum noise.

Maxwell's equations, relating electromagnetic fields to charge and current sources, hold in the
quantum theory. For the propagation of transverse waves, they reduce to a wave equation for the
vector potential with a spontaneous current source:


We will refer to the vector potential as the "field." There is also current induced by the field. Just as
in classical theory, the induced current can be approximated as proportional to the field and
included in the wave equation by a dielectric function. The solution of this equation is a field
radiating from the atom and carrying away energy. It appears that an electron in its ground state
will lose energy.

II. Vacuum Fields

This energy loss is prevented by the other source of quantum noise: vacuum fields. The field of
radiation can be expanded in modes. In free space, the modes are transverse plane waves of all
wavelengths and propagating in all directions. The field of each mode oscillates sinusoidally at the
mode frequency like a simple harmonic oscillator. It is well known that a quantum treatment of a
mechanical simple harmonic oscillator results in an evenly spaced set of energy levels. By
assuming that the mode field amplitude and its time derivative are operators with commutation
rules similar to those of position and momentum, the mode also acquires an evenly spaced set of
energy levels (Fig. 2a). Each energy level is interpreted as a different number of photons in the
mode.


Figure 2: Energy levels of an optical mode (a) and electron energy levels in a semiconductor (b).
The positive frequency field and spontaneous current operators are lowering operators, while their
Hemitian conjugates are raising operators.


------------------------------------------------------------------------


The commutation rules lead to an uncertainty relation for the amplitudes of magnetic and electric
fields of the mode, which are proportional to the vector potential and its time derivative. Like the
atomic ground state, the mode ground state of zero photons has an uncertainty related fluctuation
associated with it, the field of "vacuum fluctuations," and these fluctuations raise the energy of the
ground state above the minimum classical mode energy of zero.

The atom that is losing energy in its ground state is bombarded by vacuum fields of the continuum
of modes of the surrounding space. Some of this energy is absorbed by the atom and it can be
shown that this absorption exactly cancels the energy loss by the radiation of spontaneous currents,
stabilizing the atomic ground state [1].

When the electron is in an excited state, vacuum fields are not absorbed but instead stimulate
spontaneous emission. The radiation emitted by the spontaneous current is also spontaneous
emission, so spontaneous emission has two sources. Dalibard et al. [1] have argued that the two
sources contribute equally to the spontaneous emission rate.

III. Shot Noise

As an example of how vacuum fields and spontaneous currents create noise, consider a noise free
optical signal traveling down an absorbing optical waveguide (Fig. 3). The signal field is
attenuated. The incident vacuum field is also attenuated, but is replenished by spontaneous current
emission from the absorbing electrons within the waveguide. The beating of the signal field with
the vacuum fields causes fluctuations in the energy flux. When the signal is detected by an opaque
photodetector, these fluctuations account for the shot noise observed in the photocurrent.


Figure 3. Signal and vacuum fields in an absorbing waveguide. Illustration of the sources of shot
noise: the beating of the signal field with vacuum fields and with spontaneous currents within the
photodetector.


------------------------------------------------------------------------


If some of the signal passes through the photodetector, there is an additional source of noise due to
fluctuations in the rate of optical absorption caused by the beating of the signal field with
spontaneous currents of electrons within the photodetector. The fluctuations in the rate of optical
absorption account for shot noise when the photodetector is nearly transparent.

IV. Order-Dependent Averages

The wave equation, Eq. (2), looks like a classical field equation. However, in quantum theory
current and field are Heisenberg operators and they differ from classical variables in several
important ways. Operators do not have numerical values. To obtain numbers and make theoretical
predictions we must evaluate averages of the Heisenberg operators within the initial states of the
system. For example, in Eq. (1) we calculated the correlation function of two Heisenberg
momentum operators at different times within the atomic ground state.

Heisenberg operators are usually non-commuting. For example, if we exchange the two
momentum operators by exchanging t1 and t2 in Eq. (1), we get a different expression. This shows
that the Heisenberg operators representing the same variable, momentum, at two different times,
do not commute, and consequently the correlation functions depend on the order of the momentum
operators. Correlation functions that depend on the order of the variables do not occur in classical
theory and the transition in the character of the noise from quantum to classical is a transition to
order-independent correlation functions.

Important examples of order-dependent correlation functions occur when we divide the field and
current operators into their positive and negative frequency parts. This can also be done for a
classical field. Because the field is real, the positive and negative frequency parts are complex
conjugates:


where, by convention, e iw t is a positive frequency. The product of the positive and negative
frequency fields is just the product of two complex numbers and does not depend on their order.

A similar division can be made for field and current operators. Because the average values of these
operators are real, the negative frequency operators are the Hermitian conjugates of the positive
frequency ones and are written with a dagger. It can be shown for vacuum fields that the "normally
ordered" average of the product, with the positive frequency field to the right, is zero, whereas it is
not zero for the other order. Similarly, the normally ordered correlation function of spontaneous
current for electrons in the ground state is zero. For an excited state, the other order of correlation
function is zero.


The reason why these averages are zero can be found by examining the matrix elements of
Heisenberg operators between a pair of energy levels, illustrated in Fig. 2(a) + (b). Only frequency
components at the transition frequency of the levels contribute to the matrix element. The positive
frequency Heisenberg operators act like lowering operators and only have matrix elements for
downward transitions, while the negative frequency Heisenberg operators act as raising operators.
The normally ordered averages within the ground state are zero because there are no levels below
the ground state to lower to. Similarly, the spontaneous current correlation function is zero in the
excited state because, for spontaneous current frequencies of interest, there are no levels above the
excited state to raise to.

V. Transition to Classical Langevin Forces in a Laser

These order-dependent averages are necessary to explain the properties of quantized radiation,
such as those of vacuum fields. However, laser noise is successfully modeled with classical noise
sources called Langevin forces that have order-independent correlation functions. How do these
non-commuting sources of quantum noise give rise to classical Langevin forces?

To answer this question, let us consider a simple model of a laser with a gain medium composed of
two level atoms (Fig. 4). The average upper level occupation is varied along the horizontal axis. As
it increases, we go from a cold system with only lower levels occupied to full inversion with only
upper levels occupied. With increasing inversion, the gain changes from negative to positive, i.e.,
from absorbing to amplifying. The normally ordered correlation function is due to electrons in the
excited state and increases with inversion, while the other order comes from electrons in the
ground state and decreases with inversion.


Figure 4: The gain, photon number and spontaneous current correlation functions are plotted
versus the average upper state occupation. The cases of a lossless and a lossy cavity are shown.
The correlation function curves cross at laser threshold, where spontaneous currents act like
order-independent classical Langevin forces.


------------------------------------------------------------------------


Suppose we have a closed lossless cavity containing only the gain medium. The photon number
then results from the equilibrium between spontaneous emission and optical absorption. Laser
threshold occurs at the transparency point, where absorption goes to zero and spontaneous
emission builds up. Notice that at laser threshold the curves of the two correlation functions cross,
resulting in spontaneous currents with order-independent correlation functions.

If we introduce a loss in the form of additional absorbing atoms that remain in their ground state,
e.g., atoms with short lifetimes in the upper level, the population inversion of the gain medium
needed to overcome loss and reach threshold increases. These additional atoms contribute to the
upper correlation function curve, shifting the intersection point to that of the new laser threshold.

We see that electrons in the upper level contribute to gain and to the normally ordered correlation
function. Electrons in the lower level contribute to loss and to the correlation function with the
other operator order. As photon number increases, gain approaches loss and the noise source
correlation functions approach the order-independent behavior of classical Langevin forces. It can
be shown that the transition to classical Langevin forces also takes place in open laser cavities,
where transmissions out of and into the cavity introduce loss and noise due to vacuum fields.

VI. Transition to a Classical Noise Field in An Amplifier

A similar transition to order-independent averages occurs for the noise field in a traveling wave
optical amplifier (Fig. 5). The incident vacuum field is amplified as it propagates along the
amplifying waveguide, but it retains order-dependent averages with the normally ordered average
equal to zero. Fields emitted by spontaneous currents of electrons in the excited and ground states
of the gain medium are amplified and contribute to the noise field. These fields also have
order-dependent averages. However, when all three contributions are included, the averages of the
total noise field can be shown to grow in an order-independent manner, with the difference
between the two averages remaining constant at its value for the incident vacuum fields. This
constant difference is due to uncertainty related field fluctuations. At high amplification, it is
negligible and the noise field, referred to as amplified spontaneous emission, can be treated as a
classical field with order-independent averages.


Figure 5: The averages on the noise field in an
amplifying waveguide grow in an order-independent manner.


------------------------------------------------------------------------


VII. Summary

Spontaneous currents and vacuum fields are complementary sources of quantum noise. Together,
they account for the stability of electronic ground states, spontaneous emission, shot noise and the
transition from quantum to classical noise that occurs in lasers and amplifiers. A broader
discussion of quantum noise in photonics, including derivations of these results, is given in our
review [2]. We can provide a reprint of this paper to anyone interested in this subject.

Brian,

What follows may well be an interesting paper in light of the possibility that the Universe
may possess closure mass. As you know, with merely a critical density of mass energy (no more,
no less) the Universe's expansion must slow down asymptotically, i.e., it keeps slowing but never
actually stops. So one would expect a gradual slowing down of masses along the ict axis, right?
But then to preserve four momentum there must be a compensating increase in real momentum.
Now imaginary momentum is just the energy of the quantum vacuum energy fluctuations which
mediate the advance of masses through time, i.e., the "time component" of the four momentum.
The real momentum fluctuations, you recall, are bound up in (no pun intended) the exchange of
spin 1 force carrying virtual particles (bosons) which mediate the binding forces holding matter
together. But is this all better understood in terms of conserved current densities, rather than in
terms of momenta and energy?

As an aside, I have often wondered if there could be some neat correspondence between inertial
mass and momentum fluctuations of spin 1 and between gravitational mass and energy
fluctuations of spin 0 (spin +1/2 spin -1/2 virtual pairs) and if, therefore, the equivalence principle
(is it the "strong" or the "weak", I can't remember!), that is, the equivalence of gravitation and
inertial mass for any given body might be attributed to the balance maintained between the altered
Bose and Fermi statistics of the vacuum with which masses interact (and, in fact, out of which they
are continually reconstituted from!) One might suppose that a fluctuation in four-momentum
which is suppressed in one form, e.g., electron/positron pair, might be expressed

Brian, your idea that inertia arises from the difficulty that mass has in climbing out of its own
retarded potential well, I believe, fits in with this notion.

IMPLICATIONS OF NON-CONSTANT LIGHT VELOCITY


Dear Brian,

As you might well imagine, I'm very pleased, indeed, that the neutrino has been
discovered to have a mass of not less than 0.07 eV and probably closer to 0.1 eV! I always
strongly suspected that the neutrino possessed a small mass since it's a spin 1/2 particle which
perturbs the statistics of the quantum vacuum just as much as does an electron or quark. And
since we've been saying that the gravitational effects of matter stem from this matter vacuum spin
coupling, fermions through the Pauli Principle and bosons through the complementary "Pauli
Inclusion Principle", provided, of course, that the bosons are localized through the imposing of
appropriate boundary conditions.

On the question about the mass of freely traveling, "unbound" photons though, I have to
ask myself, "Wouldnt one expect that an extremely high flux laser beam would enhance the
probability of vacuum electromagnetic field fluctuations of the same energy, helicity, and
polarization, that is to say, of the same quantum state as the photons of the beam, at least in the
space within or very near to this beam? One might answer that, well if the photons are being
absorbed and re-emitted by virtual atoms within this vacuum, then maybe. Virtual atoms?
Virtual dogs and cats? Can only truly fundamental particles "exist" as fluctuations within the
vacuum? Is that the test of fundamental particlehood, to be reproducible as a vacuum momentum
or energy fluctuation? Interesting question, I think. Don't you?


P.S., you might want to do a couple of back of the envelope calculations with, say, neutrinos
constituting 90% or 95% of the mass of the Universe, and come up with a rough and ready figure
of neutrino mass which would succeed in "closing off the Universe." Gravitational, I mean, of
course. Let me know what you come up with, O.K.? Also, I don't believe that
neutrino/antineutrino annihilations have been observed. I wonder what kind of boson you'd get?
Probably a W or Z particle, I imagine. But I can't be sure. Gotta do some research on that one.



Talk to you soon then, Brian.

Best Regards,
Russell

THE DISCOVERY OF NEUTRINO OSCILLATIONS

web=
nu_timeline.html at www.phys.hawaii.edu


However, the observer's motion cannot be measurable relative to the vacuum as long as he travels
with a velocity which is less than the velocity of light relative to any arbitrarily chosen reference
frame. This is because, at velocities less than c, the observer can only cover a distance relative to
any given vacuum fluctuation of x < /\x, where /\x is the positional uncertainty of the vacuum
fluctuation along the observer's direction of motion. The observer can travel no greater distance
than this since the lifetime of the fluctuation is just /\t = /\x/c, while his velocity is v c. But
relative distances, x, which are less than the positional uncertainty, /\x, are, by definition,
non-measurable. Let us now return to the question which arose in connection with our
computer screen analogy of the velocity of light problem. We said that the theoretical and the
practical limits on, call it cursor speed, was several orders of magnitude less than the theoretical
limit, that, practically speaking, the cursor, if you will, could move across the computer screen no
faster than, say, 10 meters/second, rather than the theoretical figure for an individual pixel of 104
meters/second. To a first order of approximation, this is due to the fact that the cursor is made up
of roughly 200 individual pixels and that what the computer is actually doing when one pulls the
cursor across the screen utilizing a mouse is moving each of the 200 pixels across the screen
simultaneously. This is effectively 200 times as many "calculations," consuming a minimum of
one clock cycle each of CPU time in moving a pixel a distance of 1 pixel. So apparently there is a
price to pay for maintaining the coherence of the cursor (as a single "object") so that it does not
distort or change shape as one pulls it rapidly across the computer screen. It is as though each of
the pixels is a "gnat," to borrow still another analogy, and if the "swarm" of gnats (the group of
pixels making up the cursor) is to move as a unit, then there has to be some kind of coordination, in
terms of information (or energy) exchanges between the gnats so that when one gnat takes the lead
and moves in a new direction (because it is the first to see an approaching obstacle, say) the other
gnats must get the word quickly enough so that the swarm can change direction as a whole without
deforming in shape.

5/97 Inertial mass may be based in the density of momentum exchanges taking place between
the various subatomic particles and quantum fields composing a given mass, while gravitational
mass may be based in the density of energy exchanges taking place between these subatomic
particles and quantum fields and the quantum vacuum field. The equivalence of inertial and
gravitational masses may be an artifact of the conservation of momentum-energy uncertainty or
the conservation of virtual momentum and energy as a momentum-energy fluctuation four vector
within four dimensional spacetime.

7/97 It is only nonzero expectation values of momentum-energy which may possess
gravitational or inertial mass. And what contributes to this mass is any boundary conditions
placed upon the quantum vacuum field which alters this field so that the momentum fluctuations
and energy fluctuations do not cancel exactly.
06/98
The expectation values may always be
defined in terms of a fluctuation term and an uncertainty. This fluctuation term may be intrinsic
to the quantum vacuum field and the uncertainty may be associated with the observer of the
quantum system. Through a kind of coherence between the intrinsic vacuum fluctuation term and
the observer's uncertainty, the emergence of a nonzero expectation value, i.e., a classical
observable, may emerge. There is no reason why we cannot attribute the entirety of the term, /\E,
to the observer performing the energy-determining measurement. But to do so means that one is
considering the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle (HUP) to be entirely epistemological in nature.
To attribute this uncertainty entirely to the quantum system itself is to maintain that the Heisenberg
uncertainty is ontological in nature. This alternative interpretation of the HUP is not feasible,
however, as the observers brain equally constitutes a quantum mechanical system just as does he
system he is observing or performing measurements upon. The perhaps more reasonable
approach to interpreting the HUP might be to compromise between the two extremes by admitting
that there is a dynamic interrelationship between the uncertainties of both the observers brain and
the quantum system he is observing.
06/98
There must arise an exact matching or mutual
coherence of internal and external frequencies for an object to become manifest. These
frequencies, or their spectra, would be associated with the fluctuations in the vacuum's intrinsic
energy and with the fluctuations in the ability of an ideal observer to determine the system's E
independently of the effect of the vacuum energy fluctuations, respectively. We are basing this
idea of observer-system resonance as the basis of perception on an idea expressed by David Bohm
in his book, Quantum Theory. According to Bohm (1951), the fluctuations in an observable, in
combination with the correlations of the phases of these quantum fluctuations, together comprise
the average values of any observable. An act of observation has the effect of destroying the
delicate phase relations between the eigenfunctions with respect to all incompatible observables.
The effect of the fluctuation energy upon our energy measuring devices is, of course, an effect
which even the perfect calibration of our energy-measuring instruments cannot in principle
eradicate. Mass-energy is a result of an imbalance in these two energy terms. In this way
particles are seen to be not flux-stabilities in themselves, but structured alterations in the
flux-stabilities as a result of the influence, penultimately, of our energy measuring devices -
ultimately per von Neumann - upon the influence of not the individual mind per se but the
consciousness, fundamental in nature, which is structured through the complex system of
boundary conditions upon the very same vacuum field being measured (in essence) constituted
from the operation of the observer's brain, since the existence of the brain as a mass-energy system,
would otherwise presuppose, if identified with the observer's individual consciousness, the
existence of that which its observations are partially constituting. "The mere possibility of
observation results in the reduction of the state vector." If a great enough interlocking feedback
between such possibilities comes about which then alters the statistics of matter and energy
(including the embedding vacuum energy field), which results in a great enough
contraction/collapse in the density rate of these state vector reductions through the conversion of
disjoint states into correlated mixtures, producing an overall coherent state, then a barrier will
spontaneously be created between internal and external, i.e., a rudimentary real, as opposed to a
mere hypothetical, possible observer will be engendered.

By the equivalence principle, fermion production in a gravitational field should not exist for a
freely-falling observer. But neither should a blackbody spectrum of photons be observed by this
freely-falling observer. Since the fermion-antifermion and boson particle production fields are
observer dependent in their intensities, there should be an invariant transformation rule connecting
them. this invariance is probably not that of simple Lorenz-invariance because the
observer-dependent shift in intensities/current densities of the particle production is dependent
upon acceleration of the observer - not on his relative velocity. For instance, the masses of the
particles produced, in the case of fermion-antifermion production, varies in an opposing sense to
the manner in which the fermion-antifermion rate alters due to an arbitrary
Lorenz-transformation of the gravitational field engendering the enhanced f(+)/f(-) production in
such a manner that the mass-creation rate for f(+)/f(-)'s remains constant. The 4-voume in which
f(+)/f(-) creation/annihilation is taking place within this gravitational field is also unaffected by an
arbitrary Lorenz-transformation since the length contraction and time dilation take place in
opposite senses as well. In this way, the mass creation rate for f(+)/f(-)'s divided by the local
4-volume we are considering, i.e., the 4-current density of the general relativistic particle
production, is conserved as a result of an arbitrary Lorenz transformation of the gravitational field
inducing the particle production field.

Returning to our first analogy, this exchange of information is not actually occurring
among the pixels (as was the case for the gnats), but is, for the greater part, occurring within the
CPU itself, that is, between its individual circuit elements; in small part, this exchange of
energy/information is taking place between the CPU and the pixels on the screen it is controlling.
The greater the ratio of information exchanges taking place between the CPU and itself relative to
the those taking place between the CPU and the screen, the slower will be the maximum
permissible velocity across the screen for an object represented on this screen. A similar
statement would apply to the "acceleration" of the cursor across the screen - the larger the group of
pixels which one wishes to simultaneously move across the screen, the smaller will be the
maximum acceleration attainable by the group of pixels, i.e., the cursor. If we are looking for
something to play the role of "mass" within our computer analogy we would do so in vain unless
we modify somewhat (in a way which doesn't render our analogy useless, I think) the
programming of the software driving the computer monitor (output device). If we were to think
of the quantum vacuum field as generating and sustaining all of the various "forms" such as all of
the particles and fields of spacetime, doing this in a manner exactly paralleling that in which a CPU
creates/sustains all of the digital graphical representations appearing on a computer screen, then
the suggestion arises that perhaps there is not only a maximum possible velocity, but also a
maximum possible acceleration through spacetime. An obvious choice for this maximum
acceleration is simply c2/Lplanck. An equivalent representation of this limit is c/tplanck. And,
of course, we are thinking of Lplanck as the dimension of a three dimensional "pixel" composing
the spatial part of global spacetime, while (tplanck)-1 represents the clock rate of the "global
spacetime central processing unit (CPU)," i.e. the global quantum mechanical vacuum. We
stated earlier, that the temporality of a quantum mechanical system is owing entirely to the
presence of energy uncertainty within this system. We now realize that the temporality of
quantum mechanical systems owes to the interaction of this system with the fluctuating quantum
mechanical vacuum; consequently, the rate at which time passes within a given region of
spacetime is a function of the energy density of the vacuum within this region. We have
proposed that the inertial mass of a body is directly related to its binding energy due to
nongravitational forces. This is a seeming paradox since binding energy is negative and should
result in an overall reduction in the inertial mass (positive energy) of the body.

5/97 An example of where there is a change only in gravitational binding energy is when the
increase in negative binding energy is resulting from the action of gravitation alone which is
exactly counterbalanced by the general relativistic increase in the mass energy of the body. To
wit, here we have increased the gravitational binding energy of a body without having affected the
total energy, and hence, inertial mass, of the body.

When the density of a given region of space increases, there does not result merely a simple
decrease in the energy density of the vacuum. Rather, there is a momentum current density
tensor, which is diagonal in free space, experiences a shuffling of its components so that it is no
longer diagonal - with respect to a free space Minkowski spacetime.

8/96 There is another way of looking at the phenomenon of inertia in terms of how
spin-coupling of real bosons of integral spin and real fermions of integral 1/2 spin to the spins of
virtual bosons and fermions. The particle manifestations of the vacuum momentum-energy
fluctuations may be incorporated into the view of the earlier stated mechanism of
inertia/gravitation alluded to in the paragraph immediately above. It is through the spin-coupling
of real and virtual particles that the momentum current density components are altered from their
diagonal 2nd rank tensor distribution to a non-diagonal component distribution of this momentum
energy which underlies manifest gravitational fields. The theory of "squeezed states," where the
uncertainties in momentum along a particular axis are increased by borrowing momentum
uncertainty from along other orthogonal axes, may provide the necessary mathematical framework
within which the effects of matter upon vacuum momentum-energy uncertainty may be adequately
described: matter affects the quantum vacuum by inducing a broadening of the vacuum's
momentum uncertainty by utilizing fluctuation energy provided by the vacuum's uncertain energy.

8/96 This may be described in terms of the rotation of the matter + vacuum momentum current
density tensor. A second rank tensor multiplied by this diagonal momentum current density four
vector would produce the appropriate connection between this four vector at points in spacetime
infinitesimally contiguous with one another. Such a 2nd rank tensor must somehow be
assimilated to the metric tensor of general relativity. Instantaneous correlations would manifest
themselves as abrupt departures from locally deterministic causality and could constitute an
explanation for the existence of Heisenberg energy uncertainty. I think that there is no doubt that
if the basic framework of Special Relativity is to be maintained, then we are forced to accept an
origin for nonlocal correlations which lies completely outside four dimensional spacetime. These
nonlocal correlations must always comprise causal interactions and so never be explicable in terms
of them. We know that a photon traveling though free space experiences an acceleration due
to the cosmological expansion, and that this acceleration is equal to Hc, where H is Hubble's
constant and c is the speed of light in vacuum. Therefore, if a typical spherical mass is
instantaneously converted into pure energy, i.e., photons, the photons will instantly, collectively
exert a positive pressure,

P = MHc/4piR2.

Consequently, the vacuum must exert a pressure upon spherical masses which is equal and
opposite to this above quantity. Some theoretical evidence for this claim can be provided by the
calculation of a work-energy integral. This integral is ultimately motivated by an extension of the
equipartation theorem of kinetic gas theory to the cosmological distribution of energy in the
Universe. This question will be addressed at a later occasion, however. As for the integral itself,
it is used to calculate the work which the Universe performed on some small volume of energy as
the energy density of this volume decreased from a very high value early in the history of the
Universe (say in the first few seconds) until the present epoch of cosmological expansion when the
energy density of this volume has become almost negligible. One may think of this work as
being performed on this volume by some cosmological acceleration force field and if we assume
that this tiny volume managed to hold itself together without expanding throughout the entire
expansion phase, then this volume must have exerted a force upon the Universe equal and
opposite to the cosmological force which was attempting to spread it apart. Conservation of
momentum holds for the combined mass-energy/vacuum-energy system so that there is a
balancing of the force of the Hubble cosmological force field acting upon the vacuum and the
gravitational force of the vacuum acting upon the total matter distribution of the Universe. We
may even say that the vacuum's gravitational field is simply a reaction force produced by the
tendency of the Hubble cosmological acceleration force to alter the momentum of the vacuum.
This reaction force acts to conserve the momentum of the vacuum energy field. This action -
reaction force relationship is expressed by the equation given below,

H2r x Ev = Eo x GM/R2 ,

where GM/R2 = the acceleration field produced by the vacuum's gravitational field. The
gravitational field of matter distributions is not an inherent property of these distributions, but must
be conceived along the same general lines as the electrical repulsive force between dislocations or
holes in an otherwise electrically neutral crystalline matrix. This idea is more or less captured by
the following relationship,

Ev/Eo x H2r = { c2/r x ( 1 - E/Ev ) - c2/r} = g,

where the term, c2/r, is the acceleration field produced by the vacuum reaction - force which
compensates the action of the Hubble cosmological acceleration force upon the vacuum energy
field. Hc is the cosmological acceleration field which acts upon freely moving photons, and
implies the existence of a precisely balancing and opposing reactive force upon the particles
forming a bound matter distribution. Let us assume that this tiny volume is that occupied by a
neutron and that the work-cycle is to begin at an early epoch in the Universe's expansion when the
average energy density of the vacuum was equal to that of the neutron itself: approximately 1033
Joules/M3. The work integral is defined to be:

W = P*dV ,

where the limits of integration are to be from Pi =
i
to
f ,
where P and are the pressure
and energy density of the vacuum, respectively.

We will at first define the work integral in terms of F*dR. F is just the cosmological
acceleration force acting on the tiny volume and F = MH
2
r, where r is the radius of the volume, M
is the mass contained within the volume and H is Hubble's constant. If the volume were to expand
exactly in step with the expansion of space in its immediate local region, then the surface of the
volume would move with respect to its center (chosen as coordinate origin) with velocity Hr, and
the acceleration of this surface with respect to the chosen origin would be d/dt[Hr] = H[dr/dt] =
H
2
r, so that, again, F = MH
2
r. The work integral becomes

W = MH
2
rdr

between the distance limits R
i
= R
neutron
and R
f

. To transform this work integral into
one in terms of pressure and volume rather than force and distance involves defining the
parameters e and de, i.e., mass density and differential of mass density, respectively.

If one performs this work integral one finds that the energy necessary to expand neutron-packet of
unbound neutron mass-energy is precisely,

E = G(M

)2/R,

so that the energy necessary to prevent this expansion is

E = -G(M
neutron
)
2
/R.

This result is, of course, provided that the mass density of the universe is given by the formula,
=

G

This formula for the mass density of the Universe is implied by an equality of magnitude of the
kinetic energy and gravitational binding energy of the Universe as a whole. This equality
constitutes a proposed solution to the so-called "flatness problem" of cosmological theory. Alan
Guth's Inflationary Theory was originally proposed to solve, essentially, just this cosmological
problem. A rough and ready definition of the flatness problem is the nearly exact equality
between the Universe's expansion velocity and its "escape velocity" - of somewhere between 1
part per 10
12
and 1 part per 10
60
, depending upon which sources in the literature are cited; the
problem is not that this exact ratio conflicts with the standard "Big Bang" cosmological model, but
rather that it is obviously a non-arbitrary (structural) feature of the Cosmos about which the model
can make no meaningful explanation. Proponents of the Standard Model are forced to lump this
fact in with the other initial conditions which were set at the beginning of the Universe's
expansion, and which physical science cannot explain, such as the fundamental physical constants
and the Universe's initial mass. Other proponents of this model invoke the Anthropic
Cosmological Principle to explain this ratio. Its argument goes like the following: if the ratio of
escape velocity vs. expansion velocity is too much greater than 1, then the Universe would have
already re-collapsed by this time and we would not be here; on the other hand, if the ratio is too
much less than 1, then the density of the universe would not have been great enough, for long
enough, to allow the formation of stars and galaxies so that yet again we would not be here to
worry about the question. But the Anthropic Cosmological Principle cannot explain the
exactness with which this ratio approaches unity, but can only provide relatively crude limits on
either side of this ratio, say between 0.9 and 1.1 - this shaves off only 1 order of magnitude and
there are still at least 11 more orders of magnitude in need of explanation. The theory which I
propose, however, which can be considered to be an extension of Van Flandern's S-hypothesis,
explains this ratio not as an arbitrary initial condition, but as a necessary feature of any universe
where the energy of cosmological expansion drives the forces of the universe's gravitation; to wit,
if the expansion velocity of the Universe were greater than it is, then the energy of its expansion
would be greater and hence the gravitational energy of the Universe would be correspondingly
increased such that the ratio of unity would be maintained. This postulate has a favorable bearing
on many other unsolved problems of cosmological theory. Our postulate states, in essence,
only that the total gravitational potential and kinetic energies are equal. The postulate is not a
mere arbitrary assumption however, as it is supported by the principle of energy equipartation.
However, this principle can only be applied if it is assumed that there exists some form of energy
which acts as a medium physically linking these two types of energy, i.e., the energy of position
with the energy of momentum, in order that the equilibrium between them can be maintained
through mutual energy exchanges - in much the same way that the rotational and vibrational
energies of gas molecules maintain a balance through continual exchange of kinetic energy
between these molecules through random collisions.

5/97 A ready candidate for this medium connecting the gravitational potential and kinetic
energies of particles, for example, is the fluctuating component of the Hamiltonian for the
quantum system in question. As stated earlier, this fluctuation component of the Hamiltonian
cannot be "screened." This fluctuation component of the Hamiltonian may be thought of as the
product of its space and time components, H(r) and H(t). This Hamiltonian is, of course, only
and average, <H(r,t)>. There are three basic types of interaction for this system: exchanges of
momentum/energy between the parts of the system entirely among themselves, exchanges of
momentum/energy between the system and other similar systems, and exchanges of
momentum/energy between the system and its fluctuation Hamiltonian.

07/98
The equation, constant = p*p + r*r, seems to imply that p and r may both be incompatible
observables despite the absence of fluctuations in the sum, p*p + r*r. But if one looks at this
equation, one immediately realizes that it is the equation of a circle in phase space. But a circle in
phase space represents a precisely defined trajectory in phase space which, in turn, implies that p
and r, though each uncertain in an epistemological sense, must at any moment both possess precise
values. And this fact would contradict the thesis of ps and rs incompatibility as observers.
07/98


Conservation of vacuum 4-momentum is asserted here to provide the mechanism by which the
necessary energy exchanges are effected between the gravitational and kinetic energies of the
vacuum. We have already seen how gravitational acceleration itself ,i.e., the conversion of
potential energy into kinetic energy (the converse of acceleration under thrust) which has been
formalized by, e.g., Hamilton's canonical equations of motion, results from a spatio-temporal
vacuum energy density gradient which itself, in turn, comes into being through the operation of the
principle of vacuum momentum conservation, and which sustains itself in existence through the
vacuum's fundamental dynamism of self-energy-exchange. Gravitational potential, it is said,
cannot be defined absolutely. Rather, only relative differences in potential are meaningful. For
mathematical convenience, all potentials are referenced with respect to a potential at infinity
where the !/R dependence of the potential causes it to vanish to zero. Yet this definition contains
a presumption, namely, that is meaningful to speak of a gravitational potential at an infinite
distance. In actuality, the furthest that a mass can be placed so that its potential is a minimum, is
at the so-called edge of the observable Universe, that is, just this side of the spherical light horizon
- where the cosmological red-shift of electromagnetic radiation becomes infinite. According to
some simple calculations I have performed, this distance is roughly 1.1 x 10
26
meters. In the
particular case of our own Earth this potential is about 20 orders of magnitude smaller than the
potential at the Earth's surface - a vanishingly small value of approximately 10
-30
Joules per
Kilogram. The Schrdinger equation may be thought of as describing diffusion along the ict
axis. Moreover, Graham's Law of effusion states that more massive particles diffuse more slowly
than less massive particles. According to Hawking and Beckenstein, the entropy of a black hole
is directly proportional to the surface area of the hole. This relation is given below.

S ~ 4 R
2

But the energy density of the black hole is given by the relation,

= 3c
4
/4 R
2
G

so that, S = e
-1


where S is the entropy and e is the energy density of the black hole, respectively. Consequently, if
the energy density of the vacuum is equal to the energy density of black hole masses, then the
entropy of the vacuum should increase with decreasing vacuum energy density. We believe that
the energy density of the vacuum is equal to the effective energy density of black holes because the
radial outward pressure of the vacuum, Pvac, must be 0 at the event horizon surface of a black hole
and the vacuum obeys the equation of state, namely, e vac = Pvac. Furthermore, as already stated
elsewhere, eo = emass + evac. because there is no fundamental distinction between creating mass
from the vacuum energy locally available within a particular region of spacetime and importing
already existing mass from outside this region of spacetime into this region because, in turn, matter
particles may not be thought of as having a permanent, continuous existence after the manner of
the substances of Aristotelian physics; this follows from the fact that there is no real distinction
between relativistic and non-relativistic mass. Pvac must be 0 here because the matter
composing a black hole may exchange energy only with itself; it exchanges no energy with the
vacuum energy field outside its event horizon. ematter = eo in this particular case and, as well,
evac = Pvac = 0. Again, half of the mass-energy contained within the black hole is due solely to
the general relativistic increase in mass which had accumulated once the hole had formed.

e = eo{1 - GM/RC2},

where eo = 3c4/4piGR2.

Generalizing this result, we may say that the maximum rate of increase in the entropy of the
vacuum is parallel to the direction along which the decrease in the vacuum's energy density is
maximal. In so-called free space, the direction along which the maximal decrease in the vacuum's
energy density exists is along the ict axis; in other words, the vacuum energy density varies in a
purely temporal manner in free space. Therefore, the so-called thermodynamic arrow of time
points in a direction orthogonal (in free space) to any 3 dimensional rectangular system of
coordinates describing an inertial frame of reference; moreover, a gravitational field is associated
with an alteration in the orientation of the thermodynamic arrow of time because a component of
the direction of the maximally increasing vacuum entropy now points radially inward - in the
simple case of spherical masses. The thermal particle creation which is observed to occur within
accelerated reference frames is a manifestation of a creation/annihilation process which is
normally balanced in the free space vacuum but which is unbalanced within the accelerated frame.
In the presence of a gravitational potential, the arrow of time possesses a component along the
vacuum energy density gradient so that a new time axis is defined within this new vacuum which
exactly corresponds to this new time axis as defined within the general theory of relativity as
applied to the Minkowski light cone.

11/96 The second law of thermodynamics only applies to physical processes taking place
within a closed system which is in interaction with an infinite heat reservoir. The 2nd Law does
not, however, apply to open thermodynamics systems since in these systems no global
thermodynamic arrow of time can be consistently defined. Such thermodynamic arrows can only
be defined locally. This reminds us of how standing waves cannot form in containers of infinite
size. So the concept of a particle, which is itself just a Gaussian packet of superposed standing
waves, can only possess validity in a local sense; globally speaking, the notion of a particle does
not refer to anything which possesses ultimate reality, but an abstraction grounded in a low order
approximation. See Quantum Field Theory in Curved Spacetime and Black Hole
Thermodynamics by Robert M. Wald, Chicago University Press, for further discussion of the
limitations of the "particle concept" in strongly curved or rapidly time-varying spacetimes. This
book also discusses the phenomenon of particle production in expanding Einstein-DeSitter
spacetimes as being closely related to Hawking radiation.

12/96 Changes in the boundary conditions of the wavefunction which take place with a rapidity
such that, /\B//\t > /\E/h X /\B,


where B are the boundary conditions of the quantum mechanical superposition state, S, will
inevitably result in a collapse of the wavefunction, Psi, into one of its eigenstates of the observable
bound by B. This is provided that the new boundary conditions, B', are stabilized to within c x /\t,
where /\t is the time uncertainty in the time interval of this transition, B ===> B'. Wavefunctions
representing locally-connected quantum mechanical systems are constituted by a system of
boundary conditions placed upon the nonlocally-connected quantum vacuum
stress-momentum-energy field. The principle of superposition illustrates the importance of
unrealized possibilities: they play a substantive role in the behavior of the real. The energy
uncertainty of a quantum mechanical system, /\E, is both independent of the observer, that is, it
represents an ontological, rather than a, merely epistemological uncertainty in the energy of the
system and it is dependent upon the state of the observer's knowledge of this system. This
suggests that the observer and his state of knowledge are essentially separable! His knowledge of
quantum mechanical system states is from the inside, meaning that the observer's knowledge is
coded nonlocally in the quantum energy uncertainty of his own brain, itself a quantum mechanical
system! The brain of the observer simply provides a set of boundary conditions upon the
quantum vacuum energy field. Thermal particle production is expected to occur in the direction of
the entropy gradient of a vacuum possessing a gravitational potential; and the principle of
relativity demands that particle production be associated with the global increase in vacuum
entropy engendered by the process of cosmological expansion. The maximally entropic state
within any region of spacetime is that of the vacuum itself. In general, due to gravitational time
dilation, the entropy of matter distributions can never catch up, so to speak, with the entropy of the
vacuum: the result of this is that matter and energy distributions can never quite reach a state of
thermodynamic equilibrium within an expanding universe.

12/96 It is our belief that the global orientation of the arrow of time is determined by the global
distribution of matter in the Universe, and that without the presence of matter, there is no
determinate direction for the arrow of time. This implies that the Universe conceived of as a
radically open system cannot possess a complete, self-consistent topological description. Using
the analogy of a system of vibrating strings: a finite sum of Fourier component functions, F(w),
adequately describes the system of string vibrations provided that each of the strings be "anchored"
on at least one end, which is to say that, in the absence of spatial boundary conditions placed upon
the strings' vibrations, standing wave patterns of string vibration cannot exist and no purely spatial
description of the system of string vibrations is possible - only a spatiotemporal description is
possible in this case, and one in which there is no unique decomposition of the spatiotemporal
description into a particular 3(space) + 1(time) manifold. The result similar to the one above
obtains where no unique time direction for the dynamical evolution of the system can be specified.
The ratio of mass energy density to vacuum energy density varies with R-1 for spherical masses.
e = eo{1 - GM/RC2} The previous formula seems to imply that when R = RSchwarzchild, the
energy density of the vacuum has only been reduced to 1/2 of its normal free space value.
However, this is to neglect the effect which a reduced vacuum energy density has upon the
measurement of mass values: the inverted fraction by which the vacuum's energy density is
reduced gives us the fraction by which the masses occupying this vacuum relativistically increase.
In other words, the mass of a body may increase to just short of 1/2 of its Schwarzchild value and
still remain stable against total gravitational collapse. When the mass of a body increases to just
over its Schwarzchild mass a positive feedback occurs between each successive "cycle" of
relativistic mass increase, whereupon half of the vacuum's energy has already been "displaced" by
the piling on of mass from outside, while the other half of the vacuum's energy is converted
directly into mass energy entirely through relativistic mass increase. This is the reason why we
may properly say that the true energy density of the vacuum is not 3c4/8piGR2, but actually twice
this value: eo = 3c4/4piGR2. Also, when one considers the process of "evaporation of black
holes" via the mechanism of Hawking radiation, it is easy to see that in a very real sense the density
of black holes must be exactly twice that predicted by the general theory of relativity, more
particularly, via the Schwarzchild solution to the field equations: a quantity of mass, 2mc2,
where m is the mass of the black hole, must be created from out of the vacuum before a black hole
of mass, m, evaporates completely.

The ultimate substratum which mediates all the fundamental physical interactions must itself be
nondeterministically chaotic in nature; or else time cannot be considered a true dynamical
variable. Since a fundamental process of creation and annihilation underlies all particle
interactions, the action of the vacuum energy field may be identified with the translation of all
composite matter along a direction orthogonal to the total set of orthogonal spatial axes.


01/97 Space without Time is Determinism. Time without Space is Chaos. Determinism and
Chaos are simply opposite ends of a single continuum. Complexity is that which governs the
movement of a dynamical system back and forth along what we might well term the
Cosmos/Chaos continuum. The underlying order which pushes a dynamical system this way and
that along this continuum cannot itself be described in terms of a classical, dynamical system
because this order necessarily operates from outside this continuum. What ultimately governs
this movement of dynamical systems along this continuum is the underlying fluctuations in
spacetime.


11/97

Deterministic change can only be a phenomenal appearance since either the deterministic
phenomena are the play of projections from determinate objects from within higher dimensional
spaces containing our space or the phenomena conceal an indeterminism at a deeper level behind
the appearances. In the same way that the continual creation and destruction of a circular disk
confined to a two dimensional sphere may be thought of as the continuous penetration or
projection of a three dimensional cylinder orthogonally through this two dimensional spherical
surface, we may model the continual process of creation and annihilation of spherical massive
bodies as the continuous penetration or projection of hypercylindrical bodies orthogonally through
a three dimensional hypersurface constituting normal three dimensional space. If massive bodies
were composed of permanent, continuously existing substance, there would be no reason to
postulate the existence of an additional 4th spatial axis associated with the dimension of time. It
is the energy of matter's continual re-creation of itself which constitutes the latent energy of matter,
E = mc2. When a material body is uniformly accelerated, the body is no longer re-creating itself
along the time dimension alone, but must be considered to be in the act of re-creating itself along
two orthogonal component directions: part of the energy of re-creation is associated with a
momentum in the direction the body is accelerating, and the remaining part of this re-creation
energy is associated with the body's momentum in a direction orthogonal to this acceleration
vector, and moreover, orthogonal to the 3 dimensional space (instantaneous inertial frame) which
it occupies at any given moment. Our question at this juncture, then, is: is there any reason for
treating a 4th spatial dimension as being ontologically real, rather than as just an abstract entity
within a particular formalization of special relativity? Yes. We list them below.

1) Conservation of vacuum momentum.

2) The conversion of mass to energy as the 90o rotation of imaginary momentum.

3) The thermodynamic arrow of time in a gravitational field.

4) The Hubble distance-velocity relationship describing galactic recession.

5) The tunneling of all masses through a hyperspherical potential barrier. The derivation of
Einstein's mass-velocity relationship within an expanding four-hyperspherical universe.

7) The conservation of four dimensional angular momentum as an explanation for the perihelion
advance in the orbit of the planet Mercury.

8) The implication of quantum mechanics that real particles possess no continuous existence, but
are essentially being continuously created and destroyed.

ds2 = c2t2 - x2 -y2 -z2 , so that the interval, ds, may take on either real or imaginary values. If
ds2 > 0, then two events separated by this interval are locally connectable, and may be connected
by a series of reversible interactions. If ds2 < 0, then two events separated by this interval are
nonlocally connectable, and may only be connected by a series of irreversible interactions. All
reversible processes are mediated by vacuum processes which are themselves irreversible.
Because gravitation is a phenomenon resulting from conservation of four-momentum, the sign of
mass (+/-) is immaterial to the direction of the gravitational acceleration vector. If anything
analogous to what might be termed mass charge exists, it is in the form of an imaginary mass.
Imaginary mass would have the effect of producing a gravitational field with an acceleration
vector which is reversed in its normal direction. This suggests to us that the mass, or energy, of
the vacuum field is itself imaginary so that real mass may be understood as a deficit of imaginary
energy within the vacuum field, producing an acceleration vector of the normal gravitational
acceleration vector field. If gravitons, as massless particles, are assumed to be the true mediators
of the gravitational force, then there is a serious problem with interpreting the gravitational field
associated with a spherical wavefront of gravitons which is expanding outward at the speed of
light: We notice that in the many various forms in which the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle
may be stated there is always the product of two uncertainties in physical quantities which is
greater than or equal to Planck's constant and that one of these paired uncertainties is with respect
to a physical quantity which is conserved, and for which there exists a quantum number, while the
other paired uncertainty is with respect to a physical quantity which is not conserved, and for
which no quantum number exists.

To list just a few examples of this general rule: ^E^t > h, ^p^x > h, ^n^L > h, etc.
Moreover, each form of expression of the fundamental Heisenberg uncertainty relation may be, in
turn, paired with another such expression where the conserved quantities of the two paired
expressions form with one another a symmetrical tensor which possesses the property of
Lorenz-invariance, while the unconserved quantities of the two paired expressions form, with one
another, another symmetrical tensor which also possesses the property of Lorenz-invariance. It is
the Lorenz invariant tensorial relationship of the paired conserved quantities which is responsible
for the Lorenz invariance and tensorial nature of the paired unconserved quantities and not the
converse. For example, the fact that momentum and energy may be subsumed together under a
unified description as the relativistic momentum-energy tensor is what is responsible for the
tensorial nature of the interrelationship of the space and time variables, i.e., the Lorenz-invariance
of space and time which manifests itself separately as time-dilation and length-contraction which
is observed within frames of reference traveling an appreciable fraction of the velocity of light
relative to an observer reference frame. The momentum-energy tensor is, by the way, also
responsible for the Lorenz-invariant, tensorial nature of the Maxwell tensor describing the
electromagnetic field, and we may now see why the Maxwell tensor does not posses a term
denoting the divergence of the magnetic field, i.e., why magnetic monopoles do not exist in nature.
Aesthetically minded physicists have for generations noted this missing term in Maxwell's
equations and suggested the inevitable existence of monopoles, since their existence would render
the electromagnetic field equations more perfectly symmetrical. But we see now that the lack of
greater symmetry in Maxwell's equations is explicable in terms of the presence of the even deeper
symmetry of the Heisenberg uncertainty relations, and so this apparent lack of symmetry on the
part of the electromagnetic field need no longer be viewed as a "flaw" in the structure of
mathematical physics.

This deeper symmetry may be understood in the following way: the fluctuation in electric
field strength ( an unconserved quantity ) is due to the uncertainty in the position (an unconserved
quantity) of a conserved quantity - electric charge, combined with the uncertainty in momentum (
a conserved quantity ) of the magnetic charge ( an unconserved quantity ). If we try to establish
the fluctuation in the magnetic field strength independently of the fluctuation in electric field
strength, we end up violating the symmetry of the uncertainty relations, e.g., the fluctuation in
magnetic field strength ( an unconserved quantity ) is due to the uncertainty in charge momentum
( a conserved quantity) of a conserved quantity - electric charge, combined with the uncertainty in
charge position (an unconserved quantity ) of the magnetic charge (assumed here to be a conserved
quantity ). Again, the symmetry is only restored here by treating magnetic charge as an
unconserved quantity. We may apply our rule in a more direct fashion by postulating an
uncertainty relation which obtains provided that magnetic charges do exist. This uncertainty
relation is the product of uncertainties in electric and magnetic charge. To wit, the product in
the uncertainties of these two physical quantities must be greater than or equal to the value of
Planck's constant. Following our same symmetrically-based rule, we find that Planck's constant
must be less than or equal to the product of uncertainties in a conserved quantity and an
unconserved quantity. This new uncertainty relationship would be written, expressing Planck's
constant as the lower limit for the product of the uncertainty in electric charge with the uncertainty
in the quantity of magnetic charge, divided by c, the speed of light, in order to have consistency of
physical dimensions. Again, only one of these paired quantities is the conserved quantity, and
this conserved physical quantity must be the electric charge. So we see from consideration of the
symmetry exhibited by the many alternate expressions of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle,
that if monopoles exist, their charge cannot be a conserved quantity so that magnetic charge may
not possess a quantum number. However, if Maxwell's equations are modified to allow for the
existence of magnetic charge, the symmetry of these equations demands magnetic charge
conservation, but this leads to a contradiction with the more general symmetry argument for the
non-conservation of magnetic charge, and so we see that magnetic charge cannot exist.

QZ Particle creation in a non-inertial reference frame is not a symmetrical process: it is not
possible for one to accelerate in such a manner that real particles become virtual particles, i.e., are
absorbed back into the vacuum energy field from which they were originally created in the same
way that it is not possible to accelerate in such a manner that the local rate at which time passes
increases rather than decreases; however, if a given real particle does not have an infinite lifetime
(which no particle does), then within an unaccelerated reference frame, the lifetimes of
quasi-stable particles, as viewed from an accelerated reference frame, will be shortened by the
relativistic time dilation factor.

It is in terms of this fundamental asymmetry that we can more simply resolve the so-called
twin paradox of special relativity: the acceleration of the space faring twin and the earthbound
twin cannot be considered to be merely relative because the twin in the rocket ship observes
thermal particle production within his vacuum, while the twin confined to the Earth observes no
such phenomenon within his own vacuum. This phenomenon of particle production within
accelerated reference frames is to be expected because a particle is real only if its energy is greater
than the energy uncertainty of quantum system to which it belongs, and the time dilation
associated with accelerated motion affects the fundamental uncertainty relation, ^E^t > h, such that
some particles which were virtual within the unaccelerated frame relativistically increase their
energy which is now even greater in relation to a reduced energy uncertainty, and so "become" real
particles within the new vacuum state. All particles which are virtual in one particular reference
frame are real particles with respect to some other reference frame; the converse of this is not the
case, however - the irreversibility enters the picture, as stated before, through the differential
observations of thermal particle production within the vacuum of observers within different
inertial frames of reference. This relationship between real and virtual particles within special
relativity can perhaps be understood as a restatement of the principle of causality within special
relativity: events which are causally connected in one particular reference frame are causally
connected and have the same time order within all possible reference frames, and it is only those
events which are not causally connected (nor potentially causally connected) **relate this to the
phenomenon of wavefunction collapse when the observer merely potentially has knowledge of
which path the photon/electron takes through the double slit as it travels to the phosphorescent
backstop** which might have the order of their occurrence switched when observed from the
standpoint of different inertial reference frames, from which it also follows that events which are
not causally connected within a given frame of reference, are not connected in any reference
frame. Real particle production within a vacuum of reduced energy uncertainty may be
interpreted as being converse but parallel to the process of virtual particle production within a
vacuum of increased energy uncertainty. Also, if real particles are understood as feedback
structures of virtual particle processes which essentially may be understood as a network of
circular energy fluxes, these individual processes being causally connected with one another
within one particular spacetime, then these feedback structures are destroyed when the energy
uncertainty of the vacuum becomes greater than the energy of the real particles, so that an increase
of energy uncertainty is associated with a loss of information in the form of the cybernetic control
"holding the particles together, c.f., cellular automata theory of spacetime." So the dynamic
structure of matter represents information which must be at the expense of uncertainty, c.f.,
classical information theory.

Consequently, the particles which are produced within an accelerated reference frame, say,
within the curved spacetime of a gravitational potential, may not "appear" out of the vacuum in a
collective state of causal interconnection with one another. The only assurance that a set of
particles is not causally connected with one another, i.e., locally connected, is if they are
nonlocally connected. Moreover, the notion of the continuous existence of particles is simply not
consistent with the asymmetry of virtual particle/ real particle transformations which are
necessitated by a change in Lorenz frames.

We know that virtual particles do not preserve their identity from one moment to the next;
by "moment" we mean a period of time greater than h/E , where E is the total energy of the virtual
particle-antiparticle pair which has been spontaneously created out of the vacuum state. We also
know that this particular virtual pair will appear as a pair of real particles with respect to an
accelerated frame of reference. So if the virtual pairs possess no enduring continuous existence
within a flat spacetime, then neither do they possess a continuous existence within any other
possible frame of reference. This notion follows simply from the principle of the general
equivalence (from the standpoint of the fundamental invariance of physical law) of all frames of
reference. From this we arrive at the general result that real particles, what we call matter, must
be a stable pattern of fluctuation of the field energy of the quantum mechanical vacuum, whereas
virtual particles are unstable patterns of vacuum field fluctuation. Here we see that the
fundamental difference between stable and unstable patterns of vacuum fluctuation, real and
virtual particles, respectively, is not qualitative, but quantitative; it is due merely to the availability
or non-availability of raw, undifferentiated energy. The structure of all possible matter
configurations already exists latent within the vacuum fluctuation field; what is required to
"create" these configurations is simply the necessary quantity of raw energy. When energy is
supplied to the vacuum, the structures which are produced are simply those which are the most
probable and hence the simplest. More exotic configurations of matter may be produced if energy
is supplied to the vacuum field while it is experiencing "improbable" fluctuation patterns. These
so-called improbable fluctuations are simply those which possess a more fleeting existence as they
are complex with larger aggregate virtual field energy. The above highlighted text may not be in
agreement with earlier comments concerning the irreversibility of particle production-particle
destruction in accelerated frames of reference and inconsistent with the statement that proof of
absence of local connectivity is the presence of nonlocal connectivity and much later comments
concerning the distinction between anticipated versus unanticipated structures created from
vacuum in a single fluctuation step versus created in a series of fluctuation steps some of which
must be spacelike,

c.f., PessoaWhatever cant be done in a single burst suffers from the
unevenness of our spirit. So is there a subtle intersubjectivity within subjectivity involved in the
collaboration of our ever so slightly different selves, which is necessitated by one and ones project
being stretched out over time, that is past the time horizon of a single inspiration or insight?

In the August 1993 issue of Scientific American there appears an article which describes
experiments in which the time for photons to quantum mechanically tunnel through a barrier is
measured for a coherent beam of incident photons where 99% of the beam is reflected off of the
barrier, but in which approximately 1% of the photons are transmitted ("tunnel") across the barrier.
The experimental data indicated that the photons which tunneled through the barrier traveled at
superluminal speeds, some of the photons reaching 1.7c. The phenomenological explanation for
this was that the tunneling photons changed the shape of their wavefunctions such that the peak of
the wave function is shifted in the direction of photon tunneling, resulting in the photons having a
finite probability of being found just on the opposite side of the barrier somewhat earlier than if the
shape of their wavefunctions had experienced no distortion. Increasing the width of the barrier
decreased the probability of photons successfully tunneling through the barrier, but resulted in
increased measured superluminal velocities for the photons which actually succeeded in tunneling
through the barrier.

6/97 In this case, the photons' wavefunction peak had to shift toward the opposite end of the
barrier faster if they were to be observed on the other side of the barrier within the short time that it
would have taken for the photon to be absorbed by the barrier.

In theory, particles which quantum-tunnel through a potential barrier possess a negative
kinetic energy, and hence an imaginary momentum while engaged in the tunneling process.
@$
If
the four-momentum of the tunneling photons is conserved (as it is required to do by special
relativity), then an increased photon imaginary momentum must be precisely compensated by an
increased real photon momentum such that the magnitude of total four-momentum of the photon
is, again, conserved: the tunneling photons are effectively being scattered in four-dimensional
spacetime!

A photon scattered within a four-dimensional space would experience a decrease in its so-called
real momentum; (actually, in this case, the real momentum of the photon is simply the momentum
associated with its motion though the space which is directly observable to us, i.e., 3 dimensions)
however, the scattering of a photon within a 4-dimensional space where it is possible for the
interval, ds2 < 0, superluminal velocities are made possible by the conservation, as stated earlier,
of the photon's four-momentum. If there is a functional relationship between the integral of both
the gravitational self-energy and the kinetic energy of cosmological expansion, then there will be a
functional relationship between the gravitational self-energy of expansion and the kinetic energy
of expansion such that when the kinetic energy of cosmological expansion approaches zero, the
gravitational self-energy of the Universe approaches zero, implying a flat global spacetime
geometry. Because of the negative feedback coupling between the kinetic and gravitational
self-energies, we expect that these two energies are strongly coupled in the early history of the
cosmological expansion, but become very weakly coupled by this relatively late epoch in the
history of the Universe. In this scenario we expect a time variation in the strength of the Newton's
gravitational constant which is proportional to the time derivative of the quantity, e-t/T , where
T = 1/H where H is Hubble's constant.

This gives a time variation of G of H/e x G. Since the coupling between the
gravitational self-energy and the kinetic energy of cosmological expansion is virtually zero in the
present epoch of the Universe's history, we expect that there will obtain a force of cosmological
repulsion which almost exactly counterbalances the gravitational force which would tend to slow
and eventually reverse the process of cosmological expansion.

QUESTION: We know that for low velocities, the addition of velocities is according to Galilean
relativity, i.e., velocities are simply additively superposed. However, it does not appear that small
accelerations may be simply additively superposed according to Galilean relativity. According to
what rule are both large and small accelerations added together to yield the total relative
acceleration? The energy required to rotate a pure imaginary momentum by 90
o
so that this
momentum becomes a pure real momentum is just mc
2
. This quantity of energy may be thought
of as the latent energy of matter which it possesses by virtue of its being initially accelerated by the
forces of the Big Bang explosion. The negative kinetic energy of matter implies the existence of a
hyperspherical potential barrier through which all matter tunneled (in quantum mechanical fashion
and through which it continues to tunnel. This notion constitutes a kind of hyper-extended
inflationary theory. The gradient of this potential associated with this barrier may be described by
a pure imaginary four-vector (in "free space), while the orientation of the gradient of this
hyperspherical potential is altered in the presence of mass-energy in such a manner that the
magnitude of the gradient (in four dimensions) is always conserved. Given a typical distribution
of matter, in general this four vector will possess no non-zero components, and the introduction of
new matter into this distribution will transform the components of the potential gradient
four-vector after the manner of a second rank tensor. In fact, this tensor provides the "connecting
rule" by which the gradient transforms, as we move along an arbitrary trajectory through a given
matter distribution, considering in succession points along the trajectory which are only negligibly
distant from one another (so that the potential does not change "too rapidly" between successive
points). All of the terms of Einstein's general relativistic field equations are second rank tensors,
the energy-momentum tensor providing the rule by which the metric tensor at one point in
spacetime is transformed at infinitesimally contiguous points of spacetime. We must keep in mind
that the potential gradient around any particular particle of matter is described by a four-vector,
and it is only the meshing of the gradients of one particle's vector field with that of its neighbor
which requires the use of a tensor description.

If this vector field were assumed to be quantized, so that a unique exchange particle, or
boson, were thought to mediate the action of the field, then this boson would have a spin of 1, not
2, and hence could not be described as a graviton, itself the mediator of a purely attractive force
field; a spin 1 particle, however, is the exchange particle of a force field which is, like the photon,
either attractive or repulsive, depending on whether the gradient of the potentials of both particles
are of like sign or of opposite sign. The "charge" of the matter particles corresponds to the case
of the particles being either of real or imaginary mass, as stated earlier. The effect, however, of
two matter particles of either both real mass or both imaginary mass upon each other's spin 1
vector fields is to create a stress within the spacetime between the two particles which, as we stated
earlier, must be described in terms of a tensor field. The imaginary mass of virtual particles, as
alluded to earlier, would result in a mutually repulsive force field tending to drive these virtual
particles apart from one another, resulting in the cosmological expansion of the vacuum, or of
space itself. Localized deficits in the density of imaginary mass (due to the "displacing" presence
of real mass) would manifest themselves in a diminution of the cosmological acceleration vector
describing the cosmological force of repulsion obtaining between all virtual particles. The
acceleration of massive particles due to gravitational fields may be interpreted as an attempt on the
part of real massive particles to maintain a spherically symmetrical distribution of vacuum energy
about them - a condition obtaining for a particle at "rest" with respect to some fundamental
reference frame. The general relativistic effect of mass increase within a gravitational field
may be explained in terms of a function of the alteration in the three variables: vacuum energy
density, magnitude of the hyperspherical potential barrier, and the imaginary momentum of the
particle experiencing the mass increase. The mechanism by which the vacuum energy density is
reduced by the presence of mass-energy has already been discussed. The reduction in the local
value of the hyperspherical potential is explained in terms of the projection of its gradient within
an altered spacetime. The alteration in the imaginary momentum is also explained in terms of its
projection within the same altered spacetime.

The retardation in the local rate of cosmological expansion which manifests itself as a
linear increase in the loss of synchronization of clocks separated by a difference in gravitational
potential and which according to general relativity is an effect of gravitational time dilation alone,
is on our view on account of the conservation of four-momentum of the body engendering the
gravitational potential. The mass of the body, as measured from the point of weaker gravitational
potential, is increased by a fraction equal to the fractional change in the vacuum's zero-point
energy density at the point of greater potential, relative to the point of weaker potential, where the
density of this vacuum energy ( in free space ) is equal to the density of mass energy of a black hole
mass of radius equal to the radius of the body in question which is producing the difference in
gravitational potential. One might justifiably ask about any 2nd or higher order effects which
could arise out of the particular cosmological vacuum mechanism that we propose for the
gravitational field. For instance, if the time rate of decrease in the energy density of the vacuum is
suppressed (relative to its "free space" value) in regions of spacetime possessing massive bodies,
then wouldnt one expect a kind of "piling up" of vacuum energy in those regions of spacetime
where general relativistic time dilation is locally strongest in such a manner that a repulsive
gravitational field develops? , c.f. , Dr. Brian L. Swift. The relationship in general relativity
between mass and curvature where increasing curvature leads to increasing mass as well as
increasing mass leading to increasing curvature has an analogy within our theory of gravitation
based on spatiotemporal variation in vacuum energy density. Within our theory, decreasing
vacuum energy density leads to increasing mass and increasing mass leads to decreasing vacuum
energy density. Within our theory, the role of the metric tensor components, gik, correspond to
the 2nd partial derivatives of vacuum energy density with respect to the variables x,y,z, ict. The
stress-momentum-energy tensor of general relativity corresponds to the 2nd partial derivatives of
the mass, or nongravitational binding energy density within our theory. The 1st partial
derivatives are not sufficient to provide the mathematical structure needed to describe the
spatiotemporal variations in the vacuum energy density responsible for the parasitic gravitational
force. We must remember that Newton's third law of action-reaction is modified within relativity
theory and that it does not strictly hold within this theory. No gravitational forces must lie along
any 3-hypersurface of simultaneity within 4-dimensional spacetime. It is easy to see why this is
so when one considers two distinct points which are gravitationally coupled, i.e., connected by a
geodesic arc.

The time rates of change in the vacuum energy density at these two spacetime points differ
by an amount related to the differential severity of gravitational time dilation (relative to some
arbitrary 3rd point in spacetime) and so there is a variation in the time rate of change of vacuum
energy density as one moves along the geodesic arc connecting these two points. We believe that
the role of the curvature tensor within general relativity is to fix the relationship of the metric and
momentum-energy tensors with respect to the condition of spacetime at the arbitrary point within
it where the observer is located. Are two gravitationally coupled points within spacetime linked
by a geodesic arc of the spacetime, or are they linked by an arc length of null spacetime interval,
where ds = 0? If a spin 0 particle decays into two spin 1/2 particles of opposite sign (so as to
conserve spin quantum number ), and the two spin 1/2 particles become separated by a great
distance such that when a quantum spin measurement is performed upon one of the two particles,
the wavefunction which describes both particles "collapses" so that the spin orientation of the
unmeasured particle must instantly become opposite to that of the spin orientation observed in the
measurement of the former spin 1/2 particle. This EPR (Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen) type
gedanken experiment, performed within a curved spacetime raises an interesting question
concerning the wavefunction which describes the two particles, as this wavefunction takes two
different forms at two points along any segment of a curved spacetime. If the communication
between the two spin 1/2 particles is nonlocal and hence "instantaneous," then the wavefunction
experiences a discontinuous change at the point in spacetime occupied by the second particle, i.e.,
the wavefunction as expressed within spacetime B is instantaneously expressed in terms of the
nonlocally connected spacetime A, where measurement of the spin of the first particle was
performed; in this way the spins of the two particles would add to zero, resulting in spin remaining
a "good" quantum number. However, the only way to avoid the appearance of discontinuity (of
the wavefunction) , in this case, is to postulate the existence of a physical description which is
more fundamental than the wavefunction itself so that the wavefunction becomes but the
projection, within a given local spacetime, of the more fundamental physical description which
itself remains continuous.

6/97 If such a more fundamental description of the quantum mechanical system exists, then
why is the reduction of the wavepacket or collapse of the wavefunction itself necessarily
accompanied by a discontinuous change in the probabilities for observation/measurement of
physical observables? We might rather assume for consistency's sake (that of QM) that the
wavefunction describing the particle pair must undergo a "self-collapse" when some critical
separation of the particles is reached - a separation at which the difference in the representation of
the pair, in terms of its wavefunction expressed within the local spacetimes of either particle of the
pair, has reached some critical value. This critical value would, according to Penrose, be related
to the mass-energy difference of the spacetimes in which each particle is embedded. Perhaps as
long as this mass-energy difference is less than the most energetic massless particle which can be
defined within a self-consistent theory of quantum gravity, say, the mass-energy of a Planck
particle of some 10-8g, there is no necessity that the wavefunction describing the particle pair
undergo what Penrose terms "Objective Reduction," (OR), because, perhaps, the energy
difference up to this critical value of mass-energy can be compensated through the exchange of a
massless quantum (boson), i.e., through exchange of a virtual particle representing a vacuum
3-momentum fluctuation. Another possible explanation of the objective reduction of the pair's
wavefunction is related to the overall energy uncertainty of the component of the quantum vacuum
of both particles. This is to suggest that when the difference in mass-energy of the local
spacetimes of both particles exceeds the energy uncertainty of the nonlocally connected
component of the local vacua of the particles, objective reduction of the pair's wavefunction must
take place - for otherwise, the mass-energy difference in the local spacetimes of the particles has
outstripped the nonlocally-connected vacuum's ability to compensate the disparity in the local
spacetime representations of the pair's wavefunction in the spacetimes of each particle, resulting in
the incommensurability of the quantum numbers of each particle should a reduction of the pair's
wavefunction take place after this critical difference in spacetimes has been reached - as a result of
the spatial separation of the particles. What has been said thus far suggests that quantum
entanglement, i.e., nonlocal connectivity, of particles or fields within significantly differing local
spacetimes may not be admissible in a consistent theory of quantum gravity. This, in turn,
suggests that nonlocal vacuum process may not actually be responsible for the maintaining of
particular spacetime geometries or that, there is some rather small limit to the differences in local
spacetime curvatures within an overall nonlocally connected vacuum. We must investigate the
possibility that the temporality, i.e., the rate of time's passage relative to cosmic time, of a local
spacetime is directly related to the nonlocal connection of the local vacuum of this spacetime to the
nonlocally-connected vacuum of the universe at its largest scale.


The result of this maneuver, however, is that quantum mechanics could no longer be
viewed as a "complete theory," since the wavefunction would no longer constitute a complete
description, in general, of a quantum mechanical system.

On the other hand, if the expression of the wavefunction remains in terms of its own local
spacetime, then there is no unique wavefunction which describes both particles prior to a
measurement being performed on one of the particles, so that the spins of the two particles would
not necessarily add to zero after a spin measurement is performed, with the result that spin would
not be a "good" quantum number within a curved spacetime. In such as case, the general
invariance of physical law within the theory of relativity would be violated. According to the
physicist David Bohm, in his book, The Special Theory of Relativity, the latent energy, E = mc2,
which any particle of mass, m, possesses, exists by virtue of internal motions, which may be
thought of as taking place within the particle, or alternately defining the existence of the particle,
and that the conversion of mass into energy, and vice versa, consists merely in converting the
circular internal motions of a number of mass(ive/less) virtual particles into a set of linear external
motions of a number of massless real particles, and then converting them back again into the
original set of circular internal motions. It is as though one were to take a tiny particle in rapid
linear motion, bend or divert this motion so that it assumed the form of a rapid circular motion, so
that the particle now possessed the appearance of a ring, and then utilize a portion of this circular
motion to set the ring rotating so rapidly that the ring now took on the appearance of a solid sphere,
most of which, to be sure, would be composed of empty space, but which would possess a great
deal of energy by virtue of the two perpendicular internal circular motions which, in conjunction
with one another, defined the sphere's existence, and then to proceed to undo, or reverse this series
of operations, retrieving the original linear motion with which one started. We know, of course,
that this simple analogy of the "kinetic sphere" is rather naive, and that it is only intended as a basic
model of the interconnected meshwork of virtual particle reactions which defines the existence of
any real particle. The important point here is that there is an exact parallel between this internal
circular motion and the linear motion of massive particles along the imaginary axis of our
cosmological model of the hypersurface which is expanding at the speed of light, or rather, of the
hyperspherical potential energy barrier through which all massive particles are presently in the
process of quantum mechanically tunneling, at approximately the speed of light. To explore
this parallel, we need to make a relatively simple observation about the relationship of the internal
circular motions to the external linear motions into which they are converted whenever mass is
converted into energy. We notice from the example of the "kinetic sphere," that it only required
two independent (orthogonal) internal motions in order to define the existence of this 3
dimensional object. We imagine that this conversion of these two circular, orthogonal "internal"
motions will result in the creation of two linear, orthogonal "external" motions.

We believe this conversion process is described by an isomorphic group operation, such
that the number of dimensions of motion is conserved, while the orthogonality of the motions is
retained, because the conversion of energy into mass, the reverse of this operation, is accomplished
through a continuous series of simple Lorenz transformations, i.e., through the relativistic
mass-velocity relationship of Einstein, and because we know that the conversion of energy into
mass is a reversible (symmetrical) operation so that the conversion of mass into energy can be
described in terms of a linear matrix operation; i.e., it is group-theoretic in nature. But we know
that the direct conversion of mass into energy produces an out-rush, if you will, of released energy
which streams outward in 3 spatial dimensions. This obvious empirical fact seems to require that
there be 3 independent orthogonal, circular, internal motions which underlie the latent energy of
massive bodies, and this implies that massive bodies which possess this latent energy, E = mc2,
must be, either themselves, 3 dimensional hypersurfaces binding a 4 dimensional hypervolume,
such that the mass possess three independent degrees of freedom, or that they must possess two
circular (orthogonal) internal motions, defining two dimensional surfaces binding 3 dimensional
volumes constituting the massive particles, and that the third orthogonal internal degree of
freedom is that associated with the linear motion of these 3 dimensional objects which occupy a 3
dimensional hypersurface which is expanding within four spatial dimensions at the speed of light!
There seems to be a problem, however, in associating all of the latent energy of motion, E = mc2,
with the linear degree of freedom associated with the cosmological expansion, simply because it
means ignoring the contributions from the two other internal degrees of freedom, corresponding to
the internal motions of massive bodies. If, however, we assume an equipartation of energy
between the energy magnitudes associated with all three degrees of freedom, and this seems
reasonable because the Lorenz transformation of special relativity represents a symmetrical
operation, then the energy, mc2, which is needed to rotate the pure imaginary linear momentum by
90o, to convert it into a pure real momentum, is provided by the two energies, 1/2mc2 and
1/2mc2, respectively, associated with the two circular internal degrees of freedom. In this way,
the two energies, 1/2mc2, combined with the negative kinetic energy, -1/2mc2, of massive
particles, tunneling through the hyperspherical potential energy barrier, yields the new energy,
+1/2mc2, associated with the pure real momentum of outstreaming massless particles which
results from the total conversion of a real massive body into energy.

We now see that the energy of massive bodies, mc2, may be thought of as stemming, alone,
from the internal motions defining these bodies, which is released whenever these circular internal
motions, i.e., the energy circulating within the feedback loops of the virtual particle reactions
composing the massive bodies, is "deflected" into the linear motion of real massless particles. An
additional bonus from these considerations is that it is now possible to see that the distinction
between virtual and real particles is not a fundamental one. Mass, on this view, is simply a
function of the topological structure of the virtual particle reactions which occur everywhere
within the quantum mechanical vacuum on account of a fundamental energy uncertainty of the
vacuum state which, in turn, stems from the fact that the Hamiltonian of the vacuum is, itself, a
function of the "incompatible" observables, position and momentum. Moreover, the massless
force-carrying particles, i.e., bosons, which are the end product of any total conversion of matter
into energy, exist solely by virtue of their interaction with the vacuum state, and in no way depend
upon, or are defined by, any self-interaction. Consequently, these massless bosons, e.g., photons,
can be considered to be virtual particles even though are capable of being observed. In other
words, the mass which a given volume of space possess is merely a function of the imbalance in
the ratio of the volume's self-interaction to its, if you will, not-self-interaction: in free space,
where no matter is present, the flux density of energy exchange between the interior of an arbitrary
volume with itself and the flux density of energy exchange between the interior of this volume and
its exterior, is delicately balanced. It is the alteration of this balance in favor of greater
self-energy exchanges which engenders the phenomenon of mass. The self-energy exchanges
correspond to the energies of circular internal motion, discussed earlier, which we invoked as a
simplistic model of the interconnected meshwork of virtual particle reaction paths defining the
existence of massive bodies. There is a very convenient mathematical description of this
self-energy and so-called not-self-energy exchanges; these are, respectively: the energy density
and the pressure of the vacuum. This balance of external and internal vacuum energy exchanges
is exact, indicating the condition of free space, obtains, therefore, when the pressure and energy
density of the vacuum are equal, and it is on this condition that the speed of light has its maximum
local value, as seen from application of Mach's formula for the speed of pressure wave oscillations
within a material medium. There is no reason why we may not apply Mach's formula in this case
because the only essential difference between the propagation of pressure oscillations in a material
medium such as the Earth's atmosphere and such oscillations in the vacuum is that of Lorenz
invariance, i.e., the value of the speed of sound within a material medium is dependent on the state
of motion of the observer performing the velocity measurement, while the velocity of "sound,"
i.e., light, within the vacuum is itself independent of the state of motion of the observer within this
vacuum.

Another way to point up this difference between the vacuum and an ordinary material
medium is to note that the particles within the vacuum, being virtual particles, do not possess a
continuous existence with time and so cannot be chosen as the origin of an absolute frame of
reference within which the velocity of pressure oscillations of the vacuum might be measured
relative to an observer's state of motion. An ordinary material medium such as the atmosphere is
composed of particles which possess a continuos existence and so an absolute frame of reference
may be established within this medium by which the velocity of pressure oscillations of the
medium may be measured which is then dependent upon the state of motion of the observer.

The ict axis of Minkowski four-dimensional spacetime, may be understood not to represent
a physically real 4th dimension, in an analogous sense to the other three familiar spatial
dimensions, but that it merely functions as an abstraction within the formalism of special relativity
to model conservation laws, e.g., energy, momentum, etc., and the linear transformation law
connecting inertial reference frames (the Lorenz transformation) which, in turn, govern the general
relationship of the internal and external motions of real/virtual mass and field energy within a
universe of three spatial dimensions and one time dimension. Perhaps now it is easy to see why it
is not necessary to underpin the mathematical structure of special relativity with a physically real
4th dimension. It is perhaps possible to remain consistent with Einstein's and Minkowski's
view of time as being associated with what is merely an abstract (not physically real) dimension.
If the Universe is not, in fact, and expanding 4-dimensional hypersphere, then the Hubble
distance-velocity relationship for galactic recession requires the existence of a repulsive
cosmological force field whose force increases linearly with galactic separation. The gradient of
the hyperspherical potential, postulated earlier to explain, in part, the imaginary coefficient of the
ict axis, would itself then have to be interpreted as a manifestation of the negative
time-rate-of-change in the energy density of the quantum mechanical vacuum which occurs due to
the global cosmological expansion. Moreover, the continuous series of local Lorenz
transformations which may be thought to connect two non-inertial reference frames (centered
about two points in space of differing gravitational potential) would be understood in terms of a
continuous tensor transformation of the four independent components of spatiotemporal variation
in vacuum energy density, i.e., the gravitational energy gradient (spatial variation in vacuum
energy density) in conjunction with the temporal variation of vacuum energy density, connecting
the two non-inertial frames of reference.

The equivalence between spatiotemporal variations in vacuum energy density and
variations in spacetime curvature may be more simply grasped by examining two different
expressions of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle within curved spacetimes. These two
expressions are:

^E^t > h and ^p^x > h.

We know that within a curved spacetime, say, in the vicinity of a massive spherical body,
there is a general relativistic length contraction along the spherical body's radial direction while at
the same time there is relativistic dilation of time. If we are considering virtual particles, then the
> sign appearing in the two formulas, above, may be replaced by an = sign so that a dilation and a
contraction in the variables, ^t and ^x, respectively, must be coupled with an inversely
proportional shrinkage and dilation in the dual variables, ^E and ^p, respectively. In this way, the
energy of the vacuum decreases as one moves into regions of increasing gravitational potential
while the momentum of the vacuum, if you will, increases along this direction. If the vacuum
momentum is correctly described by a four-vector of conserved magnitude, then the vacuum
momentum may only increase with increasing strength of local gravitational potential at the
expense of a compensating decrease in the vacuum's momentum along an orthogonal direction. It
is the decrease in the vacuum's momentum in the direction orthogonal to the radius of our spherical
massive body with which we must associate the decrease in the vacuum's energy along the body's
radial direction. So we obtain what perhaps appears to be a trivial result: the momentum of the
vacuum along a certain direction may only be increased by utilizing the energy of the vacuum
itself associated with its momentum in directions orthogonal to the direction of increasing
momentum, so that local mass distributions do not, themselves, provide the energy required to
support the existence of a local gravitational field; the effect of mass is merely to redirect the
vacuum momentum, utilizing the locally available energy of the vacuum itself; to put this in the
language of Einstein: mass does not produce spacetime curvature, it locally alters the global
curvature of spacetime. This may all seem like an exercise in splitting hairs, but there is an
important difference in these two interpretations in the relationship of mass to spacetime
curvature: if mass, or what amounts to mass, alone, is responsible for the existence of spacetime
curvature, then an "empty" universe may not possess a globally curved spacetime. On the other
hand, if mass merely locally alters the background spacetime curvature, then there is nothing to
prevent the existence of so-called empty, curved spacetimes.

It is not correct to say that energy and information are interdefinable so that if energy is a
conserved quantity, then information is also a conserved quantity. A simple counterexample
suffices here. It is possible for transitions to occur, within a gas, say, where both the entropy and
the energy of the gas are conserved, even though the different configurations between which the
transitions occur may be thought of as representing different quantities of information so that
information is not itself conserved. The notions of energy and entropy are separable from the
notion of information because the former are only definable with respect to a closed system of a
finite number of distinct state space configurations while the latter is always defined with respect
to something outside the system in which its coded configuration is defined. It is not possible for
one thing to represent another unless there be at least two distinct levels of description available to
the system within which the representation is to be constructed. If we waive the requirement of an
"external" observer who is to give different meanings to the different configurations, then
information and energy are not interdefinable.

Another reason for not equating the two, i.e., energy and information, is on account of the
existence of energy degeneracy. Since different wavefunctions may possess the same associated
energy eigenfunctions, it should be possible for a quantum mechanical system possessing energy
degeneracy to undergo arbitrary transitions from one degenerate eigenfunction to another without
the changes be associated with changes in any definable QM observables!

If the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics is essentially correct, i.e., where the
wavefunction is a probability wave representing the state of an observer's knowledge so that it is
indeed the consciousness of the observer which is responsible for collapsing the wavefunction and
not the physical disturbance to the wavefunction provoked by his measuring device, then it should
be possible to carry out a "delayed choice" type experiment : a standard two slit interference set
up is constructed where two video cameras are substituted for two conscious observers, one
"viewing" both slits (camera A) and another camera "viewing" the backstop where either an
interference pattern or a random "buckshot" pattern of photon strikes appears. If this experiment
is performed in the absence of a human observer and then afterwards, perhaps years later, the film
in the back of cameras A and B are examined it will be found that the order in which the films are
examined will make a difference in whether the film from camera B contains recorded on it either
an interference pattern of photon waves or a "buckshot" patter of photon "bullets." In other
words, if the film in camera A is examined first, then an observer possesses knowledge as to which
slit each photon passed through so that the wavefunction of the paramagnetic particles coating the
surface of the film in camera A undergo a collapse from the previous superposition state leading
to an interference pattern to a positional eigenstate leading to the "buckshot" pattern of photon
"strikes." On the other hand, if the back of camera B is opened up first and the film examined,
then one finds that an interference pattern has been recorded on the film. But what now for the
film in the back of camera A which had been set up to "view" and record events at the double-slit?
Should not the series of images recorded on this film be smeared out just enough to prevent us
from telling which photons traveled through which slits? p44If this is the case, then the images
stored on the film of camera B may be used to tell us whether camera A in fact did of did not record
the "actual paths" taken by the photons, though the double-slit superposition state associated with
the photon interference pattern does not require any unique and mysterious influence of human
consciousness upon the results of the experiment, but amounts to nothing more than the effect of
camera A in blocking the "pilot waves" traveling through the slits through which the photons are
observed not to be traveling.

3/97 This preposterously counter-intuitive thought experiment can be defused if one requires
that merely the possibility of an observer gaining knowledge about which slit the electrons went
through would be sufficient to collapse the electron position wavefunctions so as to produce the
"buckshot" pattern of electron strikes on the phosphorescent backstop. This is actually what has
been demonstrated by several ingenious "delayed-choice" experiments which have been
performed during the 1990's. And it is the position of the camera relative to the slits which, of
course, determines this. But what if we could assure nature, as it were, that despite the
appropriate positioning of the camera in front of the double-slit, the observer, or any observer,
would be unable to take advantage of the appropriate physical arrangement of the camera in order
to determine which slit the electrons go through. I believe that, in this case, then the interference
pattern would, again, reappear on the phosphorescent backstop! If this were true, then the
observer would regain his mysterious status with respect to wavefunction collapses. One must, to
wit, assure, first of all, that it is possible to establish a closed system within which the experimental
apparatus is to be contained, in order to, in turn, assure that, no matter how large a physical arena
this quantum experiment is performed in, the observer will not possess the possibility of knowing
the trajectories of the electrons. Not all closed experimental situations can assure this, but it is
just that a closing off of the experimental setup from the rest of an open reality must be achievable
to assure the inability of the observer to draw on hidden resources to divine the trajectories of the
electrons from their source to the backstop. This suggests that the observer's ability to collapse
the wavefunction consists in a peculiar connection which he is able to make with an open-ended
reality, a reality which, as alluded to earlier, is therefore indeterminate, i.e., nondeterministic. It
is interesting to note that it is only within a closed physical system, where the boundary conditions
of the vacuum field are changing only nonadiabatically, that a superposition state may be supposed
to exist. Presumably, the closed system cannot adequately accommodate the phenomenon of the
observer's consciousness, which is what disturbs the system resulting in a collapse of the
superposition state which heretofore existed within it, and this, just by virtue of the mere
possibility that the observer may obtain knowledge of the system's state with respect to the
superposition observables.

Throughout this discussion, we must not lose sight of the fact that the wavefunction itself
does not actually represent anything physically real or measurable, and so all purported
interactions occurring between wavefunctions must be realized in terms of the interaction of their
associated probability density functions.

A superposition state is only defined where each of the component superposed
wavefunctions has an associated probability via the square of its amplitude although here the
assignment of unique probabilities to both the interference pattern - a turn of events which, on the
Copenhagen interpretation, is determined solely by the decision of the conscious observer as to
which camera, A or B, he/she opens first. Remember that in the theory of quantum mechanics a
particular event only possesses a probability of 1 if it has already occurred. It is in this sense in
which we speak of the superposition state as a combination of quantum states, no one of which is
real in itself. The pre-Socratic philosopher, Parmenides, was of that philosophical tradition
which considered the ultimate metaphysical question to be "Why is there something rather than
nothing?" And he is noted for having proclaimed "Nothing does not exist." But he considered
that all real change necessarily involved the instant by instant creation of new attributes ex nihilo.
Parmenides concluded from this that change was, itself, impossible and the universe; being cannot
come from nonbeing, therefore the universe is a static and indestructible closed system; time was
for Parmenides a kind of tenacious illusion. In the present day, owing to the advent and
development of the Quantum Theory, the suggested reformulation of this most fundamental
metaphysical question is: "Why is there Information rather than Chaos?" For those persons for
whom the question, "why is there something rather than nothing," is meaningful, belief in the
existence of a transcendent reality beyond space and time, and what is more, beyond the most
general dichotomy, the dual opposite categories, existence vs. nonexistence, the granting of the
being of Deity is theoretically but a small step. Such persons merely have to be convinced of the
necessity of Will within the realm beyond Representation. For other persons, this most
fundamental metaphysical questions is, as Martin Gardner points out, "cognitively meaningless."

This reformulation constitutes, almost by itself, the answer to its precursor: the
pre-Socratic question "Why is there something rather than nothing?" is insoluble in its demand
for a relation between being and nonbeing apart from their mutual exclusiveness whereas the
modern counterpart to this question does not at all demand from us the impossible as there are
many examples, both empirical and mathematical, where chaotic systems acquire order through
self-organization or ordered systems become chaotic through an increase in entropy. But what,
you may ask, is contained within the Quantum Theory which suggests this reformulation? Very
simply, the Quantum Theory does not treat the vacuum as a veritable emptiness, but rather as a
medium of chaotic fluctuations of positive and negative energy which cancel each other, averaging
out to zero net energy over distances larger than an atomic diameter, say. Subatomic particles, the
penultimate constituents of matter come into existence when energy fluctuations over a small
region of the vacuum respond to each other's presence through the accidental formation of
feedback paths among themselves. These feedback structures may remain stable for only
extremely fleeting periods of time or they may become robust and persist against their chaotic
backdrop for longer periods permitting the formation of more complex hierarchical structures. In
terms of information theory, the vacuum is filled with an infinite number of messages crossing it to
and fro from every direction; material particles are constituted by more messages being exchanged
within this region than between this region and the "outside" of this region. On this interpretation,
matter does not respond instantaneously to accelerations (possesses inertia) owing to a
communication bottleneck existing between its interior and the surrounding vacuum; matter
cannot respond to the world in "real time," but must take time out to "process" the coded
instructions which it receives from its "inputs." One need here only compare the ease with which
a single gnat can change its direction in flight ( to avoid an obstacle, say) to the difficulties
involved when an entire swarm of gnats, ore a swarm of swarms of gnats, for that matter, attempts
to perform the same maneuver based on the intelligence ( in the military sense) of a small group of
harbinger gnats. These chaotic fluctuations of vacuum energy are a manifestation of the
Heisenberg uncertainty principle. this principle states a numerical relationship between the dual
physical quantities position / momentum and time / energy. The bridging constant between these
dual quantities is Planck's constant, h, and the exact expression of this relation is:

X*P = h/2pi or T*E = h/2pi,

which is derived from Planck's older relation,

E = h * f;

where E is energy (Joules), f is frequency (hertz), X is distance (meters), P is momentum and T is
time (seconds); h is, of course, Planck's constant which has units of Joule-seconds. There is a
more sophisticated and complete matrix algebraic statement of the principle, but this need not
concern us here. Heisenberg's uncertainty principle is an epistemological one as it rigidly
specifies how the accuracy in our knowledge of one physical quantity affects the accuracy of our
determination of the remaining paired quantity. Heisenberg's principle can be obtained by
generalizing Planck's relation in terms of the matrix algebraic expression:

p*q - q*p = h/2pi x I .

If consciousness is, itself, required to collapse the wave-function, then consciousness must
originate in the interaction of uncollapsed wavefunctions. This suggests that the wavefunctions
interacting with one another within consciousness are of the already collapsed variety, that is the
perceptual representations of wavefunctions all interact based upon a subluminal propagation of
mutual influence. Quantum wavefunctions which has not yet collapsed are capable of interacting
with one another at a distance instantaneously and this sort of phenomenon is referred to by
Physicists as the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen, or E.P.R. effect. There are two basic schools of the
Quantum Theory. Where they differ is in their interpretation of the stuatus of Heisenberg's
uncertainty principle. One school maintains that this uncertainty is due merely to the practical
limitations of observation, that is; the uncertainty is only epistemological in nature. The other
school maintains that this uncertainty is a theoretical limitation, that is; the uncertainty is
ontological in character. The dispute between these two schools is solved easily enough,
however.

The reason for the momentum fluctuation spectrum of an electron contained within a quantum
well being identical to the spectrum of possible discrete energy transitions between possible
quantum well energy levels may be on account of the following simple observation. Such
transitions downward by a real electron are stimulated to occur either by real or virtual photons
while such transitions upward by a virtual electron are stimulated to occur likewise either by a real
or virtual photon, and the spectrum of such virtual photons represents that of the vacuum
electromagnetic waves with which the bound electron can resonate with and with which it can
exchange energy. Since the photon propagates through vacuum part of the time as a electron/
positron pair, and in a gravitational field the density of virtual fermion/antifermion pairs is
somewhat decreased, it follows that the velocity of the photon through this modified vacuum will
be correspondingly decreased. It follows from this that the energy density of the vacuum must
vary proportionally to the cube of the local value of the speed of light within the gravitational
field-laden, and hence, modified vacuum. This may similarly be interpreted as the energy density
of the vacuum being proportional to the inverse cube of the frequency of vacuum electromagnetic
waves. This is just the relationship of vacuum energy density to virtual photon frequency which
renders the quantum vacuum perfectly Lorenz-invariant.

In Nature, Oct. 19, p(574), the time required for quantum mechanical tunneling of an
electron across a Josephson junction was measured. This result means that there is some meaning
which can be attached to the velocity of the particle during its act of quantum tunneling.
Sudden, nonadiabatic compression of the Casimir plates should result in the spontaneous
emission of photons by the vacuum. Similarly, nonadiabatic expansion of tightly compressed
plates should result in the spontaneous absorption of some real photons which happen to be within
the geometry of the plates at this time.

NOTE: This statement may not be true because the Einstein coefficient of spontaneous
absorption is identically zero; the coefficients of spontaneous emission, and hence, of stimulated
absorption and emission, may be changed through altering the vacuum electromagnetic energy
density utilizing Casimir plates, resonant cavities, etc.

The Universe might be described by a wavefunction representing its tunneling through a
hyperspherical barrier, in four real spatial dimensions. The quantum tunneling of the Universe
through this hyperspherical barrier may be alternately described as the collapse of a false vacuum
state and the subsequent creation of free particle wavefunctions propagating along an imaginary
axis of a four dimensional hypersphere of 3 real + 1 imaginary spatial dimension. The
probability density of this wavefunction adjusts as time passes reflecting the increasing
uncertainty of its would-be position eigenstate. Any vector at a point where its scalar product,
with the wavenumbers of the eigenfunction expansion (of the universal wavefunction), is zero is
assigned an imaginary coefficient reflecting its being rotated 90owith respect to the wavenumber
set of the eigenfunction expansion. There was a recently announced discovery that the linear
Hubble relationship between galactic distances and recession rates does not strictly hold, but that
the recession velocities are distributed discretely with increasing distance, each velocity being
roughly an integral multiple of 72 Km/sec. These observation suggest two distinct but related
possibilities.

One, that the initial collapse of the quantum mechanical vacuum state occurred in discrete stages in
much the same way that an excited electron decays from a highly excited state. Two, that the
Universe tunneled, quantum mechanical fashion, out of a hyperspherical potential barrier where,
as in the usual case, the transmission coefficient varied sinusoidally with the wavenumber. The
vacuum electromagnetic field is said to be incompressible, but this is not strictly true. The
vacuum electromagnetic field actually appears to decrease in energy density when confined within
a resonant cavity of decreasing volume. This seems to suggest that the energy density of the
vacuum electromagnetic field is in a sense negative. We may think of the effect of shrinking the
resonant cavity upon the photons present within this cavity in two distinct ways:

1) The photons wavelengths are simply compressed by the cavity shrinkage factor or

2) The zero-point of the vacuum electromagnetic field is altered by a certain fraction so that the
energy of photons within the cavity "appear" to be greater (relative to the new zero-point) by this
same fraction. Of course, the first alternative appears more intuitively evident but embodies the
simplistic assumption that the photons within the cavity possess some permanent and abiding
existence rather than being a packet of energy which is continually being emitted (created) and
absorbed (annihilated) by the fluctuating electromagnetic vacuum field. If a photon is in a
momentum eigenstate, then the position of this photon along its translation axis is totally
uncertain. We say therefore that in the position representation of the photon's wavefunction that
the probability density of photons along the particular photon's translation axis is exactly zero.
Consequently, a photon or photon beam which is in a momentum eigenstate - and hence an energy
eigenstate also - does not alter the probability versus frequency distribution function (along its
translation axis) for virtual photons of like eigenenergy. This may be seen to follow from the fact
that an increased likelihood of finding a photon of a particular eigenenergy within a certain spatial
interval means that the probability vs. frequency distribution function in this region experiences a
peak at the frequency corresponding to this eigenenergy.

The rates of stimulated emission and absorption of electromagnetic radiation at a particular
frequency are proportional to the density of the ambient radiation at this frequency. The constants
of proportionality are the Einstein coefficients of emission and absorption, respectively. It was
stated earlier as a general principle that all physical processes were mediated through the exchange
of energy between matter and the vacuum, the reservoir of energy uncertainty. This principle
may be made more specific by invoking the Einstein relationships for electromagnetic radiation
emission and absorption as the mechanism for all energy emission - absorption, that is, for all
forms of energy exchange, so that the rates at which all physical processes take place becomes
proportional to the spectral energy density of the fluctuating boson fields of the vacuum - in
accordance with our earlier intuitions. this assignment of the Einstein mechanism ( for want of a
more convenient term) for physical processes in general depends upon the implicit assumption that
in the absence of stimulated emission (and absorption) the coefficients of spontaneous emission
and absorption are identical - just as are the coefficients of stimulated emission and absorption are
identical in the absence of spontaneous emission. But the problem here is that there really is no
such thing as spontaneous absorption - as noted before this condition would violate the principle of
energy conservation. Spontaneous emission appears to only occur to electrons which have
already been elevated to excited energy levels through stimulated absorption - in other words the
energy fluctuations of the vacuum serve merely to trigger the decay of excited states produced
through ambient electromagnetic radiation. However, this would not be the case if spontaneous
absorption applied only to energy in the form of virtual particles. The lifetime of virtual particle
is determined by the uncertainty principle and therefore the absorption of these particles out the
vacuum does not violate conservation of energy. It must be observed here that the assignment of
the value ) to the coefficient of spontaneous absorption is only required by the assumption that the
energy density of the vacuum is itself zero. A number of experiments on vacuum cavity
resonance suggest that spontaneous emission rates are suppressed by imposing boundary
conditions upon the electromagnetic vacuum. It is our deepest suspicion that the fraction by
which the emission rate is suppressed is equal to the fraction by which the density of the
electromagnetic vacuum is reduced through the imposed boundary conditions. In the chapter on
nonclassical light in the work, Light and Quantum Fluctuations, a correspondence is drawn
between the effect of a dielectric medium within a certain region of the vacuum and the alternate
introduction of specific boundary conditions upon this vacuum, say, utilizing conducting plates,
resonant cavities, etc. In this chapter it was concluded that the fractional increase in the index of
refraction is directly proportional to the fractional increase in the electromagnetic energy density
of the vacuum with the wavenumber being also altered by this fraction but with the frequency
being unaltered by the dielectric medium so that a fractionally decreased local value of the speed
of light results.

How do we represent a trajectory despite the fact that the motion of the particle must be
continually recast in terms of a time varying set of basis functions. This time variation of the
basis functions must contain an element of randomness, or unpredictability since otherwise a
unique unchanging basis could be found with which to represent the motion. Distinct trajectories
can only be co-represented within the same presentational space if each and all are differing
projections of a single evolving trajectory. Each eigenfunction is related to its noncommuting
spectrum of superposed complementary eigenfunctions in the sense that figure is related to
ground. The complementary eigenfunction spectrum is a data set; the selection of one of these
eigenfunctions within the observational context constitutes the engendering of a bit of information.
The component eigenfunctions become mutually coupled provided that their wavefunction resists
alteration through external influences. The eigenfunctions are coupled to one another if each
contains at least a tiny projection along all of the other eigenfunctions which together with it make
up their wavefunction. This is only possible if this set of eigenfunctions contributes to the
defining of the Hilbert space geometry within which they find expression. This requires that the
time evolution of the wavefunction be nondeterministic, which is to say, nonunitary.

Particle creation at the event horizon of a black hole gives rise to a precisely thermal spectrum.
This suggests that the vacuum itself is in thermal equilibrium with itself so that the vacuum must
be continually exchanging energy with itself. Because the time rate of change of all physical
quantities depends on the existence of energy uncertainty, dq/dt = [H, q] + f[H,q], where f[H,q] is
usually written as @q/@t. On this view, quantum mechanical systems possess energy
uncertainty because they are continually perturbed by intrinsic vacuum energy fluctuations. In
this way, all mass-energy systems are in a process of constant energy exchange with the quantum
mechanical vacuum. Since all macroscopic transfers and exchanges of energy between two
points in spacetime are mediated via the submicroscopic energy exchanges occurring within the
vacuum, it follows that conservation of energy macroscopically is dependent upon conservation of
energy exchanges within the vacuum. It is not possible to distinguish different time rates of
change within a closed dynamical system. This is because such a closed system possesses only a
finite number of discrete energy levels, and when the total system is in a particular energy
eigenstate, its energy uncertainty is 0 so that there are no vacuum fluctuations available with which
to mediate changes in physical observables of the system. We may define the distance separating
two events as a function of the number of vacuum momentum fluctuations existing between the
two said events. Similarly, we may define the time interval between two such events as a function
of the number of vacuum energy fluctuations existing between the two said events. Of course, the
partitioning of the relativistic momentum - energy tensor into pure momentum versus pure energy
components is dependent upon the particular Lorenz reference frame within which one performs
the momentum and energy measurements; the converse of this is also true. Since the energy
levels at which information is stored in a neural network are defined in terms of the lowest stable
energy of the neural network as a whole, virtual energy transitions between these energy levels
presuppose a coupling between the wavefunctions describing the quantum mechanical states of all
of the individual neurons of the network in the sense of their being nonlocally connected.

It is the spontaneous coherence in which the neural network is embedded which provides
the ultimate context within which the neurological events are to be interpreted. This coherent
field is that of the nonlocally connected vacuum electromagnetic fluctuation field. The many
worlds interpretation of the quantum measurement problem may be understood as a reversal in
causal relationship between the uncollapsed wavefunction representing the mind of the observer
and the uncollapsed wavefunction representing the potentialities of the quantum mechanical
system being observed by this mind in the following manner: when the observer notes the
collapse of the wavefunction with respect to an observable he is attempting to measure, what is
actually occurring is the collapse of the wavefunction describing the observers mind so that it (the
observer's mind) now abstracts from the Weltall one particular eigenvalue of the object
wavefunction, but without inducing a collapse of the object wavefunction itself. Without a God's
eye view of Reality in which to ground these complementary possibilities, there is not legitimate
distinction which can be made between them. One might ask what is the fundamental difference
between these two interpretations if there is not some third realm, independent of both the
observer's and object wavefunctions in terms of which one interpretation might be favored over the
other as being ontologically prior. This third realm belongs neither to that of causality (the
mutual interaction of collapsed wavefunctions), nor to that of contingency (the interaction of
collapsed with uncollapsed wavefunctions, and vice versa), but to that realm constituted solely by
the mutual interaction of all uncollapsed wavefunctions. This realm we may refer to as the
composite contingency - necessity manifold or continuum.

The probability spectrum of a given wavefunction may be underdetermined so that there exists an
unlimited number of ways in which an ensemble of measurements of the eigenstates of the
wavefunction with respect to a particular observable may sum together so that the wavefunction
appears perfectly normalized; this property may permit an additional degree of freedom within
quantum mechanical virtual processes not previously suspected to exist.

Probability density conservation in 4-dimensional spacetime is at the heart of the
underlying physical mechanism for gravitation that we are proposing. For instance, the
gravitational reddening of starlight may be simply explained in terms of this concept of probability
(density) conservation. Probability conservation is the most general statement of the principle of
causality. There is an absolute simultaneity which mental events distinctly enjoy due to the fact
that they do not admit of perspective; if anything they constitute perspective. However, the order
in which neurophysiological occurrences occur ( in the brain) is at least partially dependent upon
the reference frame (in the relativistic sense) that these events occur (as observables). There must
be an embedding of these neural events in a substrate which extends beyond the merely
neurophysiological in order for a reference frame to be defined in which there can arise a
correspondence between subjective and objective simultaneities. The nonlocally connected
vacuum electromagnetic field offers itself as the prime candidate for this embedding substrate.

Since it is the pattern of virtual particle emission and absorption which every real particle
continually undergoes which determines the mass of the particle, it follows that real particle
masses are determined through the particular manner in which real particles exchange energy with
the fluctuating quantum vacuum field; consequently, alterations in the density of the vacuum field
energy will affect the masses of particles occupying this vacuum. We might expect that this
relationship between mass-energy and vacuum-energy is symmetrical in nature because the
interactions mediating the continual exchange of energy between matter and vacuum are
themselves reversible interactions.

11/96 The quantum vacuum energy fluctuations collectively, as we have seen, may be
understood as the first cause of the world in the more fundamental sense of sustainer of all of the
structures ultimately deriving from it in that the quantum vacuum is the originator of temporality.
Matter does not possess a genuine substantial existence since its energy is forever being
replenished by the vacuum fluctuations continually interacting with it, much in the same manner as
a particular spot in a river is continually replenished with new waters so that, as Heraclitus says,
one cannot step twice into the same place within it. This two-way causal, symmetrical
relationship between mass energy and vacuum energy within quantum field theory reminds us of a
similar relationship between mass and space-time curvature within the theory of general relativity:
the presence of mass within a given region of spacetime produces an additional curvature in this
spacetime; also, an increase in the curvature of a particular region of spacetime produces an
increase in the mass of particles or material bodies already occupying this region. Since
spatio-temporal variations in the energy density of the vacuum energy field are correlated with
variations in spacetime curvature, we might suppose that some sort of conformal mapping
relationship obtains between the ratio of real particle to virtual particle energy densities and the
degree of mutual inclination of the time and space axes ( of the Minkowski light cone ) to one
another. This relationship is also suggested by the fact that real particles are virtual particles
which have been promoted to the level of real existence through the absorption of energy; particles
are excitations of the vacuum state which is itself a reservoir or sea of virtual particles. Also,
through the application Mach's formula for the speed of sound to this vacuum energy reservoir, we
see that such a conformal mapping relationship between Einsteinian space-time curvature and
spatial-temporal variations in the zero-point energy of the vacuum (or, alternatively, its energy
density) must involve mappings between the hypersolid angle swept out by the light line in
four-dimensional (Minkowski ) spacetime, and the energy density (or pressure) of the vacuum.


The quest for the "theory of everything" is therefore doomed to ultimate failure, since what we call
"everything" is necessarily unique, and this uniqueness prevents us from separating those
"variables" which are particular to the thing itself from those which owe in part to our
investigatory involvement with this thing. The self, in the act of investigating ultimate reality,
must be included within the dynamic of the reality for which we are seeking a complete
description. This inherent recursiveness which lies at the heart of any earnest attempt to develop
a complete description of reality is alone responsible for the fact that the domain of truth
necessarily transcends the sum of knowledge comprising any point of view (of reality).

Quantum Mechanics tells us that a closed dynamical system may only undergo temporal
evolution provided that a certain energy uncertainty exists within the system. This energy
uncertainty is just the standard deviation of the energy about its mean or expectation value. This
energy uncertainty may be interpreted in terms of a time-average sum of random energy
perturbations to the system "from outside" the system. The phase of the isolated quantum system
formally undergoes temporal evolution, but there is no physical meaning to be attached to an
absolute phase. It is only when another system is brought into interaction with the first system do
we get temporal evolution of relative phases of the two systems which possess measurable and
observable effects. If these energy perturbations, or some component of them are not removable,
are not merely the artifacts of our inadequate perturbative analyses of quantum systems, but are
ontologically real, then the infinity, and perhaps the infinite dimensionality, of the world logically
follow.

These random energy perturbations manifest themselves in the form of energy exchanges between
the quantum mechanical system and the sea of virtual particles in which this system is embedded.
The interaction of these virtual particles with the quantum mechanical system are responsible for
virtual transitions of the quantum state of the system to other quantum states. The only real
energy transitions available to the quantum mechanical (dynamical) system are those from
amongst the set of virtual energy transitions which are continually occurring within the time
interval specified by the system's time uncertainty. The density of this virtual particle energy sea
has a direct bearing upon the rate of temporal evolution of any given quantum mechanical system.

Our central hypothesis is that the presence of matter has a perturbing effect upon this
virtual particle energy sea, i.e., the quantum vacuum field, and this perturbing effect is, namely, to
decrease the overall density of this vacuum energy which results in a similar decrease in the time
rate of change of all physical processes within the spatial volume occupied by this matter. This
proposed vacuum mechanism is exactly similar to the mechanism by which a quantum resonant
cavity decreases the rate of spontaneous emission of 'cavity - detuned' photons by a Rydberg
excited atom. The resonant cavity achieves this by excluding most of the photons of
half-wavelength larger than the cavity diameter: to wit, it does this by decreasing the energy
density of vacuum electromagnetic field fluctuations of roughly the same energy as that of the
suppressed atomic energy transitions.

96 We know that nonadiabatic changes in the boundary conditions of the infinite potential well
problem results in a transition of the particle energy to an excited state with respect to the new
wavefunction describing the new potential well resulting from this sudden change. This suggests
that perhaps irreversible, or, nonadiabatic, changes in a quantum mechanical system are necessary
for the wavefunction describing it to undergo "collapse." Perhaps changes in the boundary
conditions of the (non?)locally connected vacuum can be modeled upon a change in the dynamics
of this vacuum in the absence of changes of the boundary conditions. Perhaps all changes in the
dynamics of the nonlocally connected vacuum are only measurable in terms of their manifestation
as changes in the boundary conditions of a locally connected quantum system. When the
boundary conditions applied to a given wavefunction are treated classically, then nonadiabatic
changes in the boundary conditions will usually result in a discontinuous change in the
wavefunction, i.e., a collapse in the wavefunction. But if the classical boundary conditions are
themselves treated quantum-mechanically, then the composite wavefunction will not suffer a
collapse, but will evolve according to the time-dependent Schrdinger wave equation.

01/97 Is a nonadiabatic change to be understood as a change in vacuum boundary conditions
which cannot be expected (by the vacuum itself) because /\B//\t > /\B x h//\E ?It is clear in a
geometrically intuitive sense that transformations of entities which are not truly independent and
separable from an open-ended context or system in which they are grounded cannot be genuinely
reversible but only abstractly to within a certain approximation. Participatory knowledge
transcends abstract description in terms of abstract representations of independent "things" or
entities. This is the knowledge based in the intimate interaction with the open-ended. Is it
possible to not be in an eigenstate of any quantum mechanical observable whatever? Does this
describe the normal condition which the quantum vacuum finds itself in? If the mode of
interaction of real particles with real particles, i.e., real-real interactions, is correctly described as
deterministically ordered, and the mode of interaction of real with virtual particles as randomly
ordered, then should we describe the mode of interaction of virtual particles with themselves as
both random and deterministic?

Is a superposition state possible in the absence of wavefunction boundary conditions? Are some
superpositions well-formed in the sense that they can be inverse Fourier-transformed to a unique
eigenstate with respect to a definable observable? Are some ill-formed in the contrary sense of
not possessing an inverse Fourier-transform to a unique eigenstate of a single observable?
Perhaps well-formed superposition states may only be defined given appropriate spacetime
boundary conditions, i.e., initial and boundary conditions. Notice that when a measurement is
performed upon one of the separated particles of an EPR type experiment, that the particles remain
nonlocally connected after the "collapse of the wavefunction" describing the particles jointly,
although the particles are now nonlocally connected in a new way precipitated by the observer's
act of measurement. Has the observer simply succeeded in discontinuously altering the inertial
frame of reference in which the particle pair is embedded? If so, doesn't he do this by accelerating
the particles? Are the nonlocal connections within the observer's mind merely apiece with the
nonlocally connected vacuum state in which his brain is embedded, and so when he performs his
measurement upon the particle pair, the pair must "jump into" a new nonlocally connected
vacuum state, resulting in a discontinuous change in its superposition state? Does the observer
recoil nonadiabatically into a new nonlocally-connected vacuum upon performing an act of
quantum measurement which induces what appears to him as a wavefunction collapse? Must the
vacuum possess infinite self-similarity so that "identical events" may unfold with different rates of
temporal evolution, depending upon which inertial frame of reference they are "viewed from?"
Self-similarity can never be exact. If the vacuum state were merely locally connected, then its
temporal evolution "as a whole would necessarily follow along a predetermined continuum of
vacuum states. However, a nonlocally connected vacuum state creates its own trajectory as it
evolves temporally.

I am trying to build a case for distinguishing between two seemingly very different
descriptions of the process of quantum measurement, namely, the discontinuous collapse of the
wavefunction of the quantum mechanical system being observed/measured from a similar collapse
of the wavefunction describing the mind of the observer performing the measurement, which is to
say, the Copenhagen from the "Many Worlds" interpretation. As is well known, Newton's law of
gravitation may be given a Gaussian formulation exactly paralleling the electromagnetic flux law.
What is surprising is that the black hole mass of a given radius may also be given a Gaussian
formulation.

To wit, 1/4piG x Int(Hc) x dS = Mblackhole. It is possible to "derive" the Pauli Exclusion
Principle from the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle. This may be shown in the following
manner. If two particles of the same quantum mechanical system were to be in the same quantum
state - what is precisely forbidden by the Pauli principle, say two electrons "orbiting" the same
hydrogen nucleus, it would be possible for us to measure the kinetic energy (a function of
momentum) of one of the electrons, and then to measure the potential energy of the other electron
with the result that we would have demonstrated the existence of a quantum mechanical state
possessing, simultaneously, an exact potential and an exact kinetic energy; but this is precisely
what is forbidden to exist by the Heisenberg uncertainty principle - QED.

6/97 This conclusion does not go through, however, if the requirement is made that two
particles which are in the same quantum state must be described by one and the same
wavefunction.

The Feynman path - integral formalism of relativistic quantum field theory indicates that
real particles, i.e., fundamental particles whose mass - energy is greater than the quantum
mechanical energy uncertainty of the quantum mechanical system to which they belong, may be
represented as stable and interlocking patterns of vacuum energy fluctuation, that is, as patterns of
virtual particle creation, annihilation, and particle (fermion and boson) exchange processes which
form with one another a stable, interconnected meshwork of feedback loops of virtual particle
reactions.

6/97 It is not certain what the concept of stability means within the context of virtual particle
processes. "Stable" certainly does not mean here persistence of a structure against fluctuations or
perturbations - thermal or otherwise, since the virtual particle processes themselves are the
fluctuation phenomena. Stability must mean in this case the relatively unchanging probabilities
of recurring patterns of quantum fluctuation manifesting themselves as virtual particle reactions.

Thus, real fundamental particles are viewed within this formalism as mere excitations of
the vacuum (ground) state with more complex matter structures, e.g., atoms, molecules, etc., as
feedback structures into which these vacuum excitations are organized - provided that adequate
excitation energy is available.

6/97 One possible test as to whether or not a given particle is composite or simple might be:
does the particle have a virtual counterpart, i.e., can the particle be produced out or the vacuum as
a pure energy fluctuation - out of a fluctuation of purely imaginary4-momentum? Although in
theory it should be possible to produce whole atoms, molecules, or more complex matter structures
through direct excitation of the vacuum state (see above paragraph), the intelligent coordination of
the myriad and highly localized excitations required to do this, from within any particular modified
vacuum state, is probably rendered impossible due to the inherent uncertainty of total energy
which is responsible for vacuum fluctuations: certain existing boundary conditions to the matrix
of vacuum fluctuations may already be immediately present - in the form of already created
particles, molecules, etc., but these boundary conditions cannot be produced ab initio, but may
only be "reproduced," utilizing identical pre-existing boundary conditions (in the form of already
available matter) as template and catalyst for the reproduction of the desired vacuum boundary
conditions. Any instrumentalities which we might employ to alter the vacuum field boundary
conditions would only be effective by virtue of the vacuum field fluctuations themselves which
mediate their action; we must realize that the imposition of genuinely new boundary conditions
upon the vacuum, i.e., without the utilization of a "template," even if locally, would imply a
change in the global boundary conditions of the entire vacuum energy system ( the entire
spacetime continuum). On the view of matter and vacuum which is espoused here, matter is
seen as not having an existence independent of the vacuum energy field, rather, the stability of
matter at all levels of its hierarchical structure, is underpinned by the myriad field energy
fluctuations of the quantum vacuum. Consequently, matter does not possess an independent
existence in the Democritean sense of "atoms and void;" our view is more consonant with that put
forward by Heraclitus, to wit, that everything is composed "of fire in measures kindling and in
measures going out;" all change is driven by the clash of opposites and all potential for change
lies with the tension between these opposites.

Here "fire" is given the modern physical interpretation as "vacuum energy" and the "clash
of opposites," as the creation and annihilation operators ( 2nd quantization of quantum theory) into
which all operators corresponding to physical "observables" are analyzable. What Heraclitus'
physics lacked was a basis for physical continuity from one moment of time to the next; the
reproduction of vacuum boundary conditions (in virus - like manner) supplies this missing element
within modern physics. Within this understanding of the relationship between matter and
vacuum Democritus' notion of persisting "substance" no longer has any application and the
continuous existence of real matter particles consists in the continual recreation of a coherent and
interlocking pattern of virtual particle reactions which is apiece with the larger pattern of vacuum
energy fluctuations within the indefinite surrounding region of spacetime.

10/96 The basic idea behind a perturbative analysis of a quantum system is that one is not able
to write down with infinite precision the exact Hamiltonian of the system under consideration and
so one describes the energy of the system in terms of a Hamiltonian plus a perturbation energy.
This perturbation energy is usually the first nonzero term in an expansion of energy terms where
additional terms are progressively smaller and must be neglected since to include them poses
analytic intractability. In other words, one does not have the precise energy eigenfunction
expansion of the system's wavefunction; if one did, then one could in theory prepare the system in
any one of its energy eigenstates where the system would exist at a precisely defined energy for all
time, assuming the system were not interfered with as a result of exchanging energy with some
other system. But since the Hamiltonian of a quantum mechanical system is always a function of
the system's momentum and position, which are incompatible observables, the energy of the
system, which is a function of both the system's particle/field momentum and particle/field source
position, can never be precisely defined. In this way we see that energy perturbations are not an
ad hoc and practically useful accounting device needed to make up for a merely practical, and,
hence, theoretically removable, ignorance concerning the system's real energy eigenfunction
expansion. Rather, perturbations to the system's energy - any system's energy - are not merely
artifacts of a perturbative analysis, but are ontologically real and not due to a temporary inability to
specify the system's true energy eigenfunction expansion. There is a small component of the
perturbation energy which is forever irremediable and represents the exchange of energy between
any quantum system and another quantum system which is always present.

An important conclusion to be drawn for quantum theory here is that, the wavefunction
only represents the most that can be known about a quantum system in the absence of the
irremovable perturbations. We might be tempted to speculate here that more can be known
about a quantum system than can be contained in any wavefunction provided that the effect of the
irremovable perturbations are included. If the objective and the subjective are considered to be
disjoint categories, then we may say that just as the wavefunction represents the most that can be
objectively known about a quantum system, what can be subjectively known about a quantum
system in due entirely to influences lying altogether outside all possible wavefunction descriptions
of the system. Such influences, collectively, are the so-called irremovable perturbations. We
must not straight-away identify such "irremovable perturbations" with the virtual particles and
fields of relativistic quantum field theory as these entities are largely artifacts of low order
perturbative analysis involving perturbations which are largely removable, in theory, should the
observer acquire greater knowledge of the system under observation. What uniquely
distinguishes virtual particles and fields from their real counterparts does, perhaps, point to some
of the properties of the medium with which all quantum systems forever exchange energy, leading
to the so-called irremovable perturbations.

Therefore, the introduction of matter particles into a volume of spacetime is not distinct in
principle from creating these particles ab initio from a portion of the vacuum energy already
present within this particular volume of spacetime; in an inertial frame of reference, a real matter
particle imparts an excitation energy to the vacuum such that a particle identical to itself is created
out of the fluctuating vacuum field energy; at the same time the previous particle is destroyed, its
mass-energy providing the excitation energy necessary to re-create itself anew. In an accelerated,
or more generally, a non-inertial reference frame, the particles mass-energy excites the vacuum
field in a different manner, continually producing a new variety of particles to take its place. It
has often been noted in the literature of modern physics that particle production from the vacuum
state is to be expected within curved spacetimes. This leads us to the idea that merely localized
alterations in boundary conditions of the vacuum field in no way alters the total energy density of
the region occupied by the vacuum field, but merely changes the ratio of mass - energy to vacuum
energy from zero to some fraction approaching infinity (in the case of black hole masses). The
general relativistic alteration in the local velocity of light may be understood in terms of Mach's
formula for the speed of sound in an energy conducting medium in its application to the quantum
vacuum. Mach's formula states that the velocity of sound in an energy conducting medium is a
function of the pressure and the energy density of the medium. Specifically, the velocity of sound
in the medium is the square root of the pressure of the medium times the speed of light squared
divided by the energy density of the medium.

Since the pressure of the vacuum is equal to its energy density, and the pressure of matter is
effectively zero, the energy density and pressure terms in Mach's formula are the total energy
density and pressure of space, respectively; the pressure of the vacuum is always equal to its
energy density, which decreases in step with the increase in the mass-energy density. By letting
the total energy density of space equal to the sum of the vacuum energy and mass-energy densities,
i.e., Etot = Ev + Em, and the vacuum pressure equal to the modified vacuum energy density, i.e.,
Ev' = Ev - Em, Mach's formula works out to vsound = sqrt[(Ev - Em)c2/Etot] which reduces to the
result, vsound = [1 - GM/RC2] * c, and this result is identical to the reduced local value of the
speed of light calculated from general relativity (in the weak field limit). Our requirement of no
spatial variation in the total energy density of space, i.e., that the mass-energy and vacuum energy
densities are complementary, seems to demand that the density of gravitational energy density If
we are correct in reinterpreting the gravitational redshift of photons propagating in a spatially
varying gravitational potential as being due to a spatial variation in the zero-point of the vacuum's
energy (against which the photon's energy is to be measured), then The imposition of boundary
conditions upon the vacuum field merely produces local and discontinuous variations in the spatial
(and temporal) distribution of the field energy, leading to the appearance of negative binding
energies which exactly counterbalance the positive gains in mass - energy which thereto result; it is
in this sense that mass-energy may be thought to occupy a "hollow" in the vacuum energy field and
the "displaced" vacuum energy has merely assumed a new form as mass-energy. Meff =
Mr/sqrt(1 - (c')2/(c)2), where Mr = binding mass and Meff = effective mass. The binding mass
stems from the sum of all (+) and (-) non-gravitational binding energies. The accumulation of
many such discontinuous energy gradients submicroscopically leads to the appearance,
macroscopically, of continuous energy gradients in the vacuum. Since the energy of the vacuum
field owes its existence entirely to the quantum mechanical energy uncertainty of spacetime, in
turn owing to the fact that the energy Hamiltonian is a function of incompatible observables, it
follows that the vacuum field shares in the general properties of quantum mechanical energy
uncertainty. One such property is that energy uncertainty is required for any discrete change in a
quantum mechanical observable; for example, all changes in a physical system stem from the
application of forces upon the system while all fundamental forces of nature are mediated via the
exchange of virtual bosons between fermions composing the system.

Consequently, physical processes undergo temporal evolution only insofar as they
comprise quantum mechanical systems possessing finite energy uncertainty, with the rates of the
component processes determined by the magnitude of system energy uncertainty. A
fermion-boson quantum mechanical system may be thought of as an interconnected meshwork of
temporal fermion energy transitions with spatial boson momentum transitions, with the fermion
wavefunctions and boson wavefunctions being antisymmetric and symmetric, respectively, so that
increasing the density of interacting fermions and bosons within a particular region of spacetime
results in a decrease in the energy uncertainty and increase in the momentum uncertainty of the
vacuum state, respectively.

11/96 Any wavefunction may be alternately represented as a sum of symmetric and
antisymmetric wavefunctions. If one calculates the probability density function for a
wavefunction in this new representation, one is tempted to give some physical interpretation of the
three distinct components which result.

X*X = X*symXsym + X*antiXanti + 2X*symXanti

The first term represents the probability function resulting from the mutual interaction of bosons
while the second term represents the probability function resulting from the mutual interaction of
fermions. The third term may represent the probability function resulting from the interaction of
bosons and fermions with each other.

In Fourier analysis, a function which satisfies the Dirichlet conditions, may always be
represented as a Fourier sum of weighted sine and cosine functions of the bounded variables. We
note here that this function may be represented as either purely even or purely odd, i.e., as either
purely a Fourier sum of cosine functions or sine functions, provided that the appropriate
transformation of the coordinate system is performed within which the Fourier expansion is to be
computed. In direct analogy to what has been said concerning Fourier analysis, we may say that
through a judicious transformation of the spacetime coordinates, we may represent an arbitrary
wavefunction as either of purely even parity or of purely odd parity. What we cannot do,
however, is take a wavefunction of purely even parity and transform the coordinate system so that
this function is now represented as possessing purely odd parity, or vice versa. Continuing with
our analogy, we cannot represent a sine function in terms of a sum of cosine functions and so on.
We cannot do this, as was said, through a transformation of the spacetime coordinates, however, an
odd function can be readily converted into an even function and vice versa through the mere
addition of a phase factor ( of pi/2 ) within the argument of the function we wish to transform. We
know that if an operator does not commute with the Hamiltonian operator, then the observable
corresponding to the first operator cannot be a conserved quantity. Conversely, any operator
which commutes with the Hamiltonian will be tied to a change the total energy of the system if this
operator itself suffers any changes. It is well known that parity is conserved within the theory of
both the electromagnetic and strong nuclear interactions. This is all to suggest that an alteration
of the momentum-energy tensor through the judicious insertion of phase factors into each
momentum and energy eigenfunction, may result in a transformation of the momentum-energy
eigenfunction, Psi(x,y,z,t), without altering the momentum-energy tensor, Ti,k itself. This is just
saying that the wavefunction representing the quantum mechanical system with
momentum-energy tensor, Ti,k, is itself degenerate with respect to the phase. We may deduce
from this that matter cannot exist in either a purely fermionic or purely bosonic state. Otherwise,
we would be in a position to alter the tensor, Ti,k, describing this matter distribution, through a
non-coordinate transformation, namely, through the mere introduction of an arbitrary nonperiodic
phase factor into the energy eigenfunction representing this mass distribution. This would
constitute a stark violation of the Equivalence Principle of General Relativity which implies that
each distinct stress-momentum-energy distribution, as represented by T, uniquely correlates to a
distinct curvature of the spacetime metric. To wit, matter must always exist as a mixed system of
fermions and bosons, namely, any given real matter distribution must be described by a
wavefunction which is neither purely symmetric nor purely antisymmetric.

11/96 By calculating expectation values for various observables for the quantum vacuum,
such as <p>, <E>, <p2>, <E2>, etc., we may be able to exploit our intuitions about what
X*qX(vac), where q is the observable in question, must be in order to guess at the probable
relationships of these various vacuum expectation values.

10/96The relativistic effects upon kinematics (space and time) are grounded in the relativistic
effects upon the dynamics through the conservation of momentum-energy. We believe, for
instance, that the relativistic contraction of the positional uncertainty of a particle, say, and the
relativistic time dilation (of the particle's lifetime, if it is unstable), do not lie behind the dilation of
/\p and contraction of /\E, respectively through the Heisenberg uncertainty relations. This would
be to ground dynamical effects in mere kinematics. Rather, the kinematics should be grounded in
the dynamics: the effects on space and time are epiphenomenal to the substantive effects
associated with the conservation of momentum-energy. This is thought to take place through the
Heisenberg uncertainty relations for position/momentum and time/energy. Changes in the
components of the momentum-energy tensor cause alterations in the tensor of
stress-momentum-energy uncertainty. We may suppose that the presence of real fermions
reduces the number of available vacuum fermionic energy states while the presence of real bosons
increases the number of available virtual bosonic momentum states, relative to the reduced number
of virtual fermionic energy states. In this manner, more virtual energy transitions occurring
within the vacuum state must be effected via similar transitions occurring within the massive body
in question. This situation is consistent with the effect mass has upon the surrounding vacuum of
simultaneously decreasing the energy uncertainty and increasing the momentum uncertainty
radially about the gravitating massive body. A general result of the preceding discussion is that
the accumulation of mass - energy, more particularly binding energy, within a volume of
spacetime causes a corresponding reduction in the density of energy uncertainty (vacuum energy),
in turn resulting in a corresponding decrease in the rate at which physical processes occur within
this particular region of spacetime. How are we to understand so-called energy-degenerate
transitions within the vacuum state, which is to say, transitions within the vacuum state not
involving a change in the vacuum's energy? The degenerate wavefunctions represent the
possibility of change which falls outside of the physically temporal.

10/96 Does gravitational time dilation have any effect upon the frequency of degenerate
transitions? Is the density matrix an approximation made in lieu of the actual wavefunction
which we are for merely practical reasons unable to specify, or does a quantum system sometimes
not possess a wavefunction at all? What relation does the 2nd rank tensor relating two different
virtual particle current densities have to the momentum-energy tensor of GR...to the metric tensor
or GR? Would an exceedingly intense beam of coherent electromagnetic radiation (laser beam)
result in a kind of anti-squeezed state? This might have the precisely opposite effect to that of the
Casimir Effect which normally induces an expansion of the momentum uncertainty along two
orthogonal directions to the axis along which the conducting plates are oriented. A question here
is whether the momentum uncertainty along the time axis (the energy uncertainty) is also dilated
due to a squeezing of the momentum uncertainty between the plates. The token reflexives, here
and now, seem to presuppose the token-reflexive, I, or me. Conversely, the token-reflexives, I, or
me, seem to equally presuppose the token-reflexives, here and now. This seems to suggest that
the nonlocal connections, manifested in the relations of virtual particles/fields to abstract
spacetime may also be essential in mediating the individual consciousness of observers interacting
with spacetime. Within the context of an expanding universe, then, matter does not merely alter
the density of the vacuum, but also alters the rate at which the density of the vacuum energy
decreases with time due to cosmological expansion, and since the time rate of change in energy
density is, itself, a physical process, matter, by reducing the energy uncertainty of the vacuum, also
causes a radially varying vacuum field energy density which manifests itself as a spherically
symmetric energy gradient centered about a mass which is identical to the gravitational field!

Changes in the composition of the total energy density of a region of space with respect to
the proportions of mass - energy and vacuum energy are reflected in the transformation of the
spatio-temporal variation in vacuum energy density from being purely temporal, in the case of free
space, to a mixture of two parts, temporal and spatial, in the case of typical distributions of matter,
to a purely spatial variation of vacuum energy density, in the case of black hole masses; and there
is a homologous mapping between the degree of tipping of the Minkowski light cone in curved
spacetimes and the degree of transformation of a temporally varying vacuum energy into one
which is purely spatial in its variation. Within curved spacetimes, the local value of the velocity
of light is reduced below its normal value in "free space," and this may be envisioned as a
narrowing of the hypersolid angle swept out by the Minkowski light cone centered at a given point
within this region possessing a gravitational potential. This contraction in the area of the
hypersurface of the Minkowski light cone may be alternately described in terms of a light cone
which suffers no contraction of its hypersurface area, but a decrease in the uniform density of
vacuum energy occupying the uncontracted light cone surface, and hence the equivalence of the
spacetime curvature with the spatiotemporal variation in vacuum energy density.

If we are correct in positing an exact equivalence between spacetime curvature and
spatio-temporal variations in the density of the vacuum's zero-point energy, then the phenomenon
of particle production in a spatially or temporally varying spacetime curvature, or via the
equivalence principle, due to the effects of noninertial motion, may be explained alternatively in
terms of spatial or temporal variations in the boundary conditions on the vacuum field such that
spatial or temporal variations in its zero-point energy result. In this scenario, the existence of real
particles is understood as just a manifestation of zero-point energy from the vantage point of a
noninertial frame of reference or equivalently, from the standpoint of a region of the vacuum
possessing "less restrictive" boundary conditions than the region of the vacuum in which the
particles appear. On account of the precisely thermal spectrum of the particles produced within
curved spacetimes and also due to the unique requirement of a thermal spectrum for the vacuum
itself in order that it possess Lorenz invariance, an entropy may be meaningfully assigned to both
the vacuum as well as the particles produced from it as a result of the imposed vacuum boundary
conditions.

Since this production of particles from the vacuum state due to imposed boundary
conditions is a reversible process, because the particles are reabsorbed if the boundary conditions
are later removed, the change in the entropy of the vacuum field must be exactly compensated by
the entropy increase due the particle creation so that the total entropy of the particle - vacuum
system is a constant. The Feynmann path integral technique for calculating the ground state
energies of atoms may ( in principle ) similarly be utilized to calculate the ground state energy of
the vacuum state of free space or, indeed, the vacuum state of a region of space in which a
gravitational field is present. It is probable that fewer paths comprise the Feynmann integral
where a gravitational field is present than in the free space vacuum; this limits the number of valid
available paths along which energy may be exchanged between two points in this particular region
of spacetime - hence the reduced value of the integral, and in turn, the decreased value of the
vacuum state energy in this region. The reduced number of Feynmann paths, or histories, means
that the vacuum's ability to exchange energy with itself, as well as its ability to exchange energy
with particles and fields, and thusly to mediate the exchange of energy between particles and fields
among themselves, is correspondingly diminished so that the rate at which the vacuum's energy
density decreases with time ( due to the expansion of the universe ) is likewise diminished.

In light of the diminished self-energy of the vacuum, the resultant increased inertial mass
of particles within this altered vacuum may be viewed in two distinct, but fundamentally similar
ways. First, the diminished capacity of the vacuum to undergo energy exchange with itself means
that it is more difficult for the gravitational field energy to redistribute itself in response to changes
in the matter distribution within the altered vacuum state; consequently, by the general
equivalence of gravitational and inertial masses, it follows that there is an equal difficulty for
matter configurations to change their distributions in response to impressed external forces
attempting to accelerate these mass configurations. This is further theoretical evidence for the
complementary relationship between the mass energy density and the vacuum energy density
which together define the total energy density of any particular region of spacetime. Moreover, if
there are already existing particles both prior and subsequent to the imposition of the vacuum
boundary conditions, then the masses of these previously existing particles is expected to increase
in accordance with the decrease in the vacuum energy density (and vice versa); this is consistent
with viewing particle production more generally as an increase in mass within the region of
varying vacuum energy - as the conversion of vacuum energy into mass - energy: the fraction by
which particle masses are increased in transporting them from a region of higher vacuum energy
density to one of lower density must complement the fraction by which the vacuum energy density
decreases between these two points.

This means that the maximum density of mass possible within a certain spherical region is
equal to the maximum density of particles which may be created from the vacuum energy
occupying this region, via excitation of the vacuum state. We arrive at the interesting result that
the density of the vacuum energy in a certain spherical volume of free space (where no
mass-energy is present) is precisely equal to the mass-energy density of a black hole which could
possible occupy this same volume. One important idea which suggests itself within the context of
this discussion is the famous cosmological constant problem and the discordant interpretations of
it within quantum theory and general relativity theory. There is a 46 order of magnitude
discrepancy between the calculations of the value of this constant within these two theories, hence
the profound difficulties in developing a consistent theory of quantum gravity! Now if the energy
of the vacuum is interpreted as suggested by the work of Sakharov and more recently by the
zero-point energy gravitation theory of Hal Puthoff then rather than being, itself, a source of
gravitational fields, like particle or field energy, the energy of the vacuum would merely be the
mediator of gravitation so that differences in gravitational potential would correspond exactly to
differences in the energy density of the vacuum at two different points in spacetime. A uniform
distribution of vacuum field energy would therefore have no more effect upon matter particles
within this energy distribution than would a series of concentric mass shells upon the matter
particles contained within them; which is to say, no effect whatever, and this due to the precise
mutual cancellation of the combined perturbations to the matter particles by the fluctuating
vacuum energy field. Thus, only differences in vacuum energy density would have any meaning
so that the overall vacuum energy density would play no role in the definition of Einstein's
cosmological constant, and there would be no necessity of postulating a unique exchange particle
mediating the gravitational force; gravity would not in this case be viewed as a fundamental force
as are the electromagnetic, strong and weak nuclear forces, but would be understood as a
"parasitic" force stemming from the imposing of boundary conditions upon the combined vacuum
electromagnetic, strong and weak nuclear fields which together owe their existence to the
fundamental energy uncertainty of the vacuum state, described by an energy Hamiltonian which is
a function of incompatible observables. If the graviton were really a fundamental particle, i.e.,
a vector boson with the same ontological status of a photon, gluon, W and Z particle, then graviton
creation-annihilations and exchanges would be more or less just as pervasive within the vacuums
bulk as in its surface, represented by spacetime structure. Puthoffs theory of
electromagnetic induced gravity would not apply in the same way to a neutron, c.f.,
cit=
The
Connectivity Hypothesis (2003), or a neutrino as it would to charged particles, e.g., electron,
proton, muon, etc. We should not expect Puthoffs theory therefore to support Einsteins
equivalence principle in a logically consistent manner in that gravitational interactions are not
treated in his theory with sufficient generality. On the other hand, there does not seem to be a
more general way, apart from Einsteins theory of gravitation, for the so-called physical vacuum to
satisfy the equivalence principle of relativity than the density functions or density matrices of
quantum theory. And the most general feature of these, which connects matter and energy to the
physical vacuum as well as to the four fundamental forces/interactions of nature is that of quantum
statistics. We say this rather than the concept of the symmetry/antisymmetry of the
wavefunction because the quantum statistics of the density function includes both reversible and
irreversible quantum processes and possesses symmetry properties more general than those of
symmetric and antisymmetric. The concept of causality can then be given its greatest
possible generalization within this theory of induced gravity because the theory is most amenable
to the application of
prn=
Bohms Causality Principle.

The pure imaginary momentum of all "rest masses" within the 4 - hyperspherical cosmological
model may be justified beyond its value as a convenient mathematical formalism if these masses
are viewed as presently being in the act of tunneling through a hyperspherically symmetric
potential barrier. The gradient of this hyperspherical potential would be a four - vector with
components 1,2, and 3 vanishing in free space, but transforming through multiplication by a tensor
into a new four - vector with non-vanishing spatial components, resulting in the appearance of a
gravitational field. Certainly this tensor is the matter-stress-energy tensor described in the field
equations of Einstein; the only difference is that the vacuum energy does not contribute to the
value of T, the matter-stress-energy tensor, which is responsible for altering the metric tensor
which describes the curvature of spacetime, or alternatively, the spatiotemporal variation in the
vacuum field energy density. It is perhaps now easier to see at an intuitive level why the field
equations of general relativity predict the existence of a universe which is either globally
contracting or expanding: unless the energy density of the vacuum field is temporally varying in
free space, the matter-stress-energy tensor operates upon a zero four-vector (representing the
gradient of the hyperspherical potential) and the introduction of matter distributions, represented
by the matter-stress-energy tensor, into this vacuum field, cannot produce a non-zero four-vector,
namely, non-vanishing spatial components of the free space four-vector, i.e., a gravitational field.
Within this particular cosmological model, the energy, linear 4-momentum, and angular
4-momentum of a particle is always conserved, regardless of motions or accelerations which it
might undergo as a result of interactions with other particles and fields.

We are saying here that gravitation is, itself, a four-vector, whose magnitude is always conserved
independently of the matter distribution. The matter-stress-energy distribution within a particular
volume of space merely alters the decomposition of this four-vector into a new set of vector
components in much the same way that a boost, rotation or translation produces a new
decomposition of the Minkowski four-vector which describes the instantaneous world segment of
a particle; hence, matter distributions manifest themselves as tensor fields in spacetime. If the
gravitational field owed its existence to the presence of matter-stress-energy distributions in
spacetime, then we would certainly describe the gravitational field as being itself a tensor field;
however, the gravitational field is actually a conserved four-vector ( in the sense that the
magnitude of this vector is conserved ), and this four-vector owes its existence to the inverse
square decrease in the vacuum's zero-point energy density in combination with the inverse cubic
decrease in the mass-energy density which results due to the process of cosmological expansion.
The action of matter distributions, however, must be described in terms of a tensor field; again, the
gravitational field, itself, is not a tensor field; the action of mass upon this field is, however,
tensorial in nature. As we know, from the many discussions of attempts to produce quantum
gravity theories, quantization of a 2nd order tensor field results in the appearance of a spin 2 boson
which acts as the unique exchange particle mediating the tensor field. The four-dimensional
zero-point energy gradient does not transform itself with time in free space in a manner which
necessitates a tensor description; consequently, gravitons will not be present in free space as
vacuum field fluctuations; however, any valid theory of quantum gravity ( assuming one is
possible ) demands, along with the uncertainty principle, that the total vacuum field contain virtual
gravitons in its mix of fluctuating energy, but because a tensor does not describe the
transformation with time of the free space vacuum, the quantization of the total free space vacuum
field cannot include spin 2 particles, which is to say, the free space quantum mechanical vacuum
does not possess virtual gravitons and hence does not possess (per se) gravitational field
fluctuations. Consequently, gravitons do not exist in regions where matter distributions are
present so that the search for gravitational waves must turn out to be a fruitless endeavor.

Another way in which the imaginary coefficient may be justified is to note that the rate at which
the vacuum energy density decreases with time is proportional to the vacuum energy density itself,
just as are the time rates of all physical processes, so that if the vacuum energy density is
reinterpreted as its probability density (in terms of the square of the vacuum wavefunction
amplitude), then the negative exponential time evolution of the vacuum probability density implies
that the vacuum has a purely imaginary four - momentum with a four velocity of magnitude c. The
effect of accelerations, for instance, upon a particle is merely to change the distribution of its total
linear/angular momentum within the conserved 4-quantity. The perhelion shift in the orbit of
Mercury, predicted by general relativity, may be simply understood as a cyclic redistribution of the
planet's 4-angular momentum as it moves around its orbit so that the 3-dimensional projection of it
4-angular momentum varies sinusoidally with the orbital period; this causes Mercury's 3-angular
momentum to be slightly greater than that predicted by classical mechanics, producing the
observed advance in perhelion. The black hole, as noted earlier, represents mass-energy in its
most compressed state. For maximum symmetrical energy exchange between any two shells
occupying a given volume of matter ( of uniform density ) where the density of vacuum energy
exchanges is proportional to the density of the vacuum energy itself, we require that the density of
mass-energy decrease with the inverse square because certainly the density of bundled energy
trajectories (along which all energy exchanges occur) must also fall off with the inverse square due
simply to the geometry of spherically symmetric radiation of energy in 3 dimensions. We expect
the density of exchange energy, due to vacuum field fluctuations, to be proportional to the density
of energy so exchanged because it has already been established that the rate at which all physical
processes occur is proportional to the density of Heisenberg-uncertain energy (vacuum energy)
and the decrease in the density of this energy with the expansion of the universe is itself a physical
process; moreover, there is a vectorial continuity equation, analogous to a field equation of
Maxwell's, which describes the relationship of spatial and temporal variations in the density of the
vacuum field energy so that the spatial variation of this zero-point energy will have the same
structure as the temporal variation of the zero-point energy due to cosmological expansion. The
question then arises, " what is the structure of this variation in vacuum energy density in free space,
where no mass-energy is present?"

Well, the density of the vacuum zero-point energy is only meaningful as a physical quantity in
relation to the density of the mass-energy just as the energy of a particle is only meaningful in
relation to the energy of the vacuum state, so the general time variation in the mass-energy density
due to cosmological expansion should give us a clue to the manner in which the vacuum energy
density changes with time; provided that our hypothesis of a dynamic vacuum energy mechanism
for gravitational fields is fundamentally correct. Therefore, if we postulate this vacuum
mechanism, then it is clear that the time variation of the vacuum energy density in the universe due
to cosmological expansion must be such that the ratio of the temporal variation in vacuum energy
and mass-energy has the same mathematical structure as the spatial variation in the ratio of these
two densities about massive bodies which acts as a gravitational potential. Since the gravitational
potential decreases inverse linearly so that the strength of the gravitational field itself decreases
with the inverse square, and since the density of vacuum energy (zero-point energy) must be
smaller in stronger gravitational potentials than at weaker ones because gravitational time dilation
increases in step with the increasing potential, it follows that the ratio of mass-energy to vacuum
energy must decrease inverse linearly to mimic the inverse linear variation in the magnitude of
gravitational time dilation; remember that gravitational time dilation is owing to a decrease in
available exchange energy with which all physical processes are mediated. Hence, since the
decrease in mass-energy is with the inverse cube, the decrease in vacuum energy must itself be
with the inverse square. At this point we note that the decrease in black hole energy density is
with the inverse square of black hole radius. We are therefore led to think of a black hole as
constituting the maximum density of mass-energy possible in the sense that all energy exchanges
occurring within the volume of space occupied by the black hole, occur between the black hole and
itself, symmetrically, with no exchange energy left over to mediate matter-vacuum energy
exchanges.


This is presumably why the intensity of gravitational time dilation is infinite at the surface of a
black hole; the vacuum energy fluctuation field (zero-point energy) no longer interacts with the
black hole mass so that no physical processes ( which can be communicated to the "outside") are
mediated. As stated earlier, it the interaction of the vacuum zero-point energy with quantum
mechanical systems which is wholly responsible for all changes in the quantum mechanical
observables in the system, i.e., temporality of the system. The theory of quantum
electrodynamics explains the propagation of fermions and bosons in the following manner: a
massless photon propagates through spacetime by continually transforming into an e+e- pair and
back again into a photon of identical energy (assuming a flat spacetime), while an electron
propagates through spacetime by continually transforming into dynamical system temporally
evolves may be given a consistent definition in terms of the ratio of the density of energy
exchanges of the system with its outside environment to the density of 3-momentum exchanges of
the system with itself. By this definition, the most rapidly temporally evolving dynamical
system would be that of the pristine quantum mechanical vacuum state - the quantum vacuum in
the absence of real particles or fields. We must note that the notion of the absolute passage of
time, i.e., the passage of time for reality as a whole, is a meaningless concept, or at least, a concept
which cannot be given a self-consistent formulation or interpretation. This fact is intimately
related to the fact that a thermodynamic system to which the notion of entropy applies (the 2nd
Law of Thermodynamics) is by definition an open system in the sense of a system undergoing
continual energy exchange with a thermal reservoir or "heat bath." A completely closed system,
as noted earlier, would possess initial and boundary conditions resulting in the quantizing of
energy and momentum throughout the system giving it a closed state space and a Poincare
recurrence time which would be indistinguishable from a finite 4th spatial dimension. In such a
system, with time being spatialized, the notion of the direction of time is completely arbitrary -
there is not outside to which the system is tied which can serve as a memory of the history of the
system to prevent the system from being completely reversible. The system would be ergodic and
possess a conserved phase space volume. In perturbation theory within quantum mechanics, we
find that an incompletely described dynamical system is approximated by a Hamiltonian
possessing a perturbation energy which may be thought of as a system exactly described in terms
of a Hamiltonian, H0, which is interacting with a larger energy system through the perturbation
Hamiltonian, Hfluc which is simply added to H0 such that the new wavefunction calculated from
this sum through the Schrodinger equation is just the new wavefunction expanded in terms of the
old one defined in terms of H0. In this way the actual system is seen to be the old system
undergoing virtual transition between its energy eigenfunctions. The old system's energy
uncertainty is represented in terms of the perturbation energy associated with the fluctuation
Hamiltonian, Hfluc. In this way, it is seen that, in general, the temporal evolution of any quantum
system is representable in terms of the interaction of an approximate system represented by a
zeroeth order Hamiltonian, H0, with its outside environment from which is has originally been
abstracted. When one has taken into account all possible perturbations due to real particles and
fields interacting with the given system in question, one is left with the ineradicable residue of the
quantum vacuum itself. So the concrete (and real) temporality of any quantum system, when
the mere appearance of change in the system due to inadequacies in our nth order perturbation
expansion description of the system have been taken into account, is wholly attributable to the
action of the quantum mechanical vacuum. So we now come to an important distinction:
changes in the system which are not directly measurable and hence understood as virtual
transitions between energy levels of an approximate Hamiltonian description of the system versus
transitions between energy levels of the system due to an actual incompleteness or openness of the
system description due to ontological, i.e., actual, indeterminacy or indefiniteness of the system
itself, as opposed to mere epistemological indefiniteness of the system which is a mere artifact of
an incomplete quantum-perturbative analysis of the system. This is the distinction of ontological
versus epistemological energy uncertainty of a quantum mechanical system. This above
discussion pertains to the distinction, made in an earlier letter, of /\E, which I have said may be
wholly attributable to the observer, and the square root


Since momentum and position are incompatible observables, then so are a function of momentum
and a function of position. Now the total energy of any quantum mechanical system, the
Hamiltonian, H(p,r), is the sum of its kinetic and potential energies, H(p,r) = f(p) + f(r), where p
and r are momentum and position, respectively. So by what has been said, H(p,r) cannot have a
precise value - for this would imply simultaneously precise values for the kinetic and potential
energies, which, in turn, would imply simultaneous values of p and r. So the value, H(p,r) must
undergo fluctuations of a fundamntal sort. Now even the vacuum is a quantum system, i.e., a q.m.
ground state. So the vacuum's Hamiltonian, that is, its total energy, must also fluctuate. These
fluctuations interact with every particle and field, introducing uncertainty in the location of
particles in phase space, i.e., x-p space.

It seems likely that H(p,r) serves as the
medium of exchange in any transformations of potential energy into kinetic energy (gravitation)
or of kinetic energy into potential energy (inertia) and so that the quantum vacuum as a
momentum-energy fluctuation medium provides the origin of both inertia and gravitation.
Machian theory of inertia and gravitation: inertia induces gravity as gravity induces inertia.
So-called dark matter may be a mere symptom of the application of
prn=
Machs principle to the
momentum-energy fluctuations of the quantum vacuum.

All measurement does is alter the shape of the area of phase space "occupied" by the particle.
Measurement does not change the area of phase space where this particle is likely to be found
("occupied" by this particle"), however. The particle does not possess an exact "position" within
the x-p (phase) space. We can never say beforehand how the vacuum fluctuations interacting
with the particle (and out of which the particle is constituted and sustained) will nonlocally
resonate with the vacuum fluctuations interacting at the time of measurement with the observer's
brain (the observer's brain is also a quantum system, BTW). Remember that qbar = sqrt[^q**2 -
/\q**2 ] where ^q is the fluctuations of q due to the quantum vacuum and /\q is the uncertainty in q
which may be wholly attributed to the observer's brain due to the influence of vacuum energy
fluctuations upon it!. It is the cooperation of these two terms which results in qbar, the
expectation value (classical value) of q! This perhaps reminds some of you of Huxley's theory of
perception: the receipt of photons by the retina of the observer results in a stimulation of the brain
in such a way that its ether wave filters reconfigure so that the signals representing the object seen
are no longer screened out by the consciousness reducing valve (the brain, that is) which are then
"picked up". The brain is then conceived of as a kind of ether wave tuning device and perception
is just an altering of the set of frequencies of ether waves (vacuum fluctuations, if you prefer
modern parlance) which the vacuum can resonate with where the brain acts only as a hardware
interface between two unbounded sets of interfering ether wave spectra. The brain on this view is
simply a changeable and complex set of boundary conditions placed upon the vacuum
electromagnetic field's self-interaction!






Is there some general relationship between the height of the potential barrier and the magnitude of
the energy uncertainty? Or is there really no general principle at work here relating these two
quantities? H# = E# --> <#*E#> = <E> --> <#*(E**2)#> = <E**2> / <#*E#>**2 =
<E>**2
/\E = sQrt{<E**2> - <E>**2} , where H = H(T(p),V(x))

What is the relationship between the reduction of the wavepacket upon an observation being
performed on some quantum mechanical system and the conversion of virtual particles into real
particles?

It may be possible to modify Poisson's equation, @
2P/@2r = 4pi(rho), to include a 2nd partial
derivative of P, the potential, with respect to the time such that we might assimilate the 2nd partial
derivative with respect to r to the state variable, (rho)
mass, and assimilate the 2nd partial derivative
of P with respect to t to the state variable, (rho)vacuum, so that (rho) in the above equation may be
interpreted as the space density which is a locally conserved quantity.


Let us examine Einstein's field equation for any potential mathematical affinity it might have with
respect to our equation relating the space energy density to the sum of the vacuum and mass energy
densities.

====> T
uv = -Ruv -1/2Rguv

Each of these three terms are what are called tensor densities. They have physical dimensions of
energy density. In Mach's formula for the speed of pressure wave oscillations in a continuous,
energy-conducting medium, the pressure is associated with the vacuum energy density since the
quantum vacuum always obeys the equation of state that its pressure and energy density are
identical. But this identification leaves only one possible further identification of the medium
energy density; that is, the energy density must be identified with the total energy density of space,
what is termed within our theory, the space density. In order for an entropy and temperature to be
assigned to the quantum vacuum, we must suppose that this vacuum remains in thermal
equilibrium with this heat reservoir, the energy density of which is the space density referred to
earlier.

Intuitively, if any further identifications are to be made between terms within our theory and terms
within Einstein's theory, then the following identifications might be made:

The scalar curvature, R, should be identified with the space density, the momentum-energy tensor,
T
uv, should be identified with the mass-energy density, and the term, -Ruv, should be identified
with the vacuum energy density. The term, guv, which in relativity theory is the dimensionless
dot product of the spacetime coordinate unit vectors, eu and ev, may be alternatively interpreted
to correspond to the ratio of sum of the momentum-energy and Riemannian tensor densities to the
scalar energy density. Within our theory, the guv correspond to mixed 2nd order partial
derivatives of the ratio of the sum of the vacuum scalar energy density to the total space energy
density.

G = U - ST (free energy) is minimized and configurational entropy is maximized when
rho(v) = rho(m) in the formation of a black hole.


Do the partial derivatives of the gravitational potential transform like the components of a four
vector? It would appear that an arbitrary Lorenz transformation of the 1st order partial
derivatives of a standard static gravitational potential should transform so as to evince the
existence of a time-varying potential, and hence, that of a 4-hyperspherical potential.




There is an important distinction to be made between massive and massless particles. This
distinction consists in the fact that a massive particle which is seen to be at rest has a 4-momentum
which is purely imaginary, but which may be re-represented by a Lorenz transformation in terms
of a new set of real and imaginary components within some different inertial reference frame.
This is not generally true of massless particles, however. A massless particle, such as a photon,
possesses a relativistic 4-momentum which is purely real in any and all inertial reference frames.
There is no possible Lorenz transformation which can succeed in re-representing the 4-momentum
of the photon as a mixture of real and imaginary momentum components. However, in the case
of real massive particles, the relativistic mass increases exactly in step with the increase in
imaginary momentum. This suggests that perhaps photons do not possess a gravitational mass,
and that the true source of the gravitational field is a massive body's imaginary momentum. How
then, if this is true, do we account for the disappearance of the gravitational mass which results
from the total conversion of mass into photon energy? Does this energy disappear in the form
of longitudinal pressure waves in the quantum vacuum?




A photon which is climbing out of a gravitational potential must acquire an imaginary component
of 4-momentum relative to its previous location within a stronger potential. We say, then, that a
photon possesses an imaginary momentum relative to a point in spacetime of greater gravitational
potential.

The inertial frame-dragging effect deduced by Lenz and Thirring from Einstein's field equations,
may be understood intuitively in the following manner: angular momentum of a massive
gravitating body as observed from a great distance away (where the body's gravitational potential
has fallen off appreciably) appears greatly reduced when the observer is transported close to this
body. This change in the appearance of the 3-angular momentum of the massive body in
transporting the observer from a reference frame of small gravitational potential to one possessing
large potential may be understood in terms of a different partitioning of the total conserved
4-angular momentum of the body in the two different, locally Minkowskian frames. In other
words, 4-angular momentum which is mostly about an arbitrary z-axis, for example, when the
body is viewed from a region of spacetime of small potential, (relative to so-called "free space") is
rotated within 4-dimensional spacetime in moving the observer to the region of large potential in
such a way that most of the 4-angular momentum of the body now "appears" along the local time
axis within this spacetime. The angular momentum seen by the more distant observer is hidden
from the observer in close vicinity to the body because he is occupying a space which is, relative to
the distant observer, spinning in the same sense as the body itself. This interpretation is
consistent with the general relativistic effect of perhelion precession which occurs in the sense
opposite to the direction of the body's orbital motion.

In a conversation with Brian Swift it was suggested by me, in connection with a discussion of the
old density wave theory of galactic spiral arm formation, that perhaps a spinning supermassive
blackhole lies at the center of any given spiral arm galaxy and that the Lenz-Thirring inertial
frame-dragging effect could be at least partially responsible (maybe also in conjunction with
density waves) for the formation of the classic spiral arm structure of, for example, the Milky Way
Galaxy.







Outline of a taped conversation between Dr. Brian Swift and Russell Clark

Energy and time transform in opposite manner within relativity from how they transform within
the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle. The local velocity of light is affected by a Lorenz
transformation analogously to the way time and length transform within this transformation.
There may be a difference between energy and mass parallel to the distinction between fermions
and bosons within quantum mechanics. It may be that gravity is only generated by fermions and
not by bosons. Energy and mass may not be equivalent in all reference frames. Mass and energy
may transform in opposite manner within a Lorenz transformation. Real fermions disturb the
normally balanced renormalization which exists between the vacuum fermion and boson
fluctuation fields.
There is no fundamental distinction between real bosons and virtual bosons.

End of this installment of the conversation between B & R.

It is possible to understand from quantum theory, the causal relationship between the momentum -
energy tensor and the space - time tensor of general relativity by noting a pair of bridging relations
between these tensors via the Heisenberg space-momentum and time-energy uncertainty relations.
These uncertainty relations prevent the defining of precise, deterministic trajectories for particles
moving within 4-dimensional Minkowski spacetime. In particular, no precise trajectory can be
defined for particles whose sole component of motion is along the Minkowski ict axis. Such
particles are observed to be "at rest" with respect to the local system of coordinates. What does it
mean, we may ask, for a particle at rest to have an ill-defined trajectory, as implied by the
Heisenberg principle? One obvious interpretation is for the particle to lack the continuous,
independent existence of a classically described, inert and atom-like substance.
The analogue of the particle - wave complementarity in quantum theory is the dualism between
mass and energy within the theory of relativity. The general absence of either a precisely defined
particle position or momentum implies an oscillation of the particle between its particle and wave
mode manifestations which may be understood in terms of the continual back-and-forth
transformation of matter from its mass to its energy manifestation. This spontaneous activity on
the part of matter may be visualized in terms of its continual reformation and disintegration into
mass and energy. Only massless particles are reintegrated exclusively from the vacuum energy.
Though massive particles are largely reintegrated out of the energy of the quantum vacuum, a tiny
percentage of this energy must be supplied internally, that is, from energy resources of the mass
itself. The measure of this fraction is the ratio of the mass-energy and vacuum energy densities
within the volume occupied by the mass. This tendency for matter to replenish itself from a
fraction of its own existing mass-energy in competition with its reintegration out of the locally
available vacuum energy may account for the linkage of inertia and gravitation. This reintegration
process may be modeled as a constant process of energy exchange amongst matter particles in
competition with energy exchanges between these particles and the thermal reservoir of the
vacuum nuclear electro-weak field fluctuations necessitated by the Heisenberg uncertainty
principle.


The exchange of energy within quantum mechanical systems may be generally characterized by
three principle modes of energy exchange: first, the exchange of energy between mass-energy
and itself which is mediated by the totality of fundamental force-carrying particles, collectively
known as bosons. This particular mode of energy exchange is owing to the position-momentum
manifestation of the generalized Heisenberg principle. Second, the exchange of energy between
mass-energy and the vacuum energy field which is the mode of energy exchange responsible for
the phenomena of spontaneous emission, nuclear decay, quantum mechanical tunneling, etc., owes
its origin to the time-energy form of the Heisenberg principle. Finally, there is the energy
exchange mode taking place between the vacuum energy field and itself. This energy exchange
mode we suspect powers the process of global cosmological expansion. In general, an operator
which does not commute with the Hamiltonian operator, i.e., [q,H] \= 0, must experience
fluctuations. The Hamiltonian itself is subject to fundamental quantum fluctuations so we may
say that [H,H] =\ 0. This means that changing the order in which we measure H makes a difference
in the results of our measurement. This doesn't seem to make sense unless we are speaking of
making these same measurements, but in opposite time order. If this is the correct interpretation
of [H,H] =/ 0, then quantum fluctuations in the Hamiltonian of spacetime may be responsible for
time's fundamental asymmetry. But how can H fail to commute with itself? This mode also
constrains, we believe, the thermodynamic equilibrium of mass-energy systems embedded within
the expanding mass-energy/vacuum-energy system, and so seems the most general manifestation
of the Heisenberg principle.


The overarching system of energy exchanges will altogether comprise a total conservative energy
system to which will correspond the conservative force-field known as gravitation. On this view,
gravitation is not thought to be mediated by a unique force-carrying particle, or boson, i.e.,
graviton, but is a fundamentally "parasitic" force, one which depends for its action on the
collective interaction between matter, its fundamental exchange forces, and the total vacuum
nuclear-electroweak field. Specifically, it is the shift in the balance between the three types of
energy exchange continually occurring within the quantum vacuum: particle-particle,
particle-wave, and wave-wave, energy exchanges. Because matter is continually being
reintegrated from the vacuum energy field which originally created it, the transport of matter
particles from one region of vacuum locally, to another region, cannot, on our view, be understood
as being fundamentally different from the destruction of these particles within one local region of
the vacuum field (and subsequent conversion to vacuum energy within this region) with the
subsequent re-creation of these particles from the vacuum energy locally available within the
destination-region where they are ultimately "brought to rest." Therefore, we believe that the
total energy density of any given region of locally Euclidean 3 - space may not be altered through
changes in the local distribution of energy constituted by real matter particles and fields. We
understand energy density more broadly here as the total four-momentum density of local regions
of Minkowski spacetime, and understand the conservation of energy density as the constancy of
total 4-momentum density despite phenomenological (apparent) variations in energy density
(classically understood) within local Euclidean 3-spaces. To wit, though the magnitudes of the
various components of the total 4-momentum density may change within an arbitrary 3-volume of
Euclidean space, the magnitude of the total 4-momentum density of spacetime does not change
locally; that is to say, it does not change observably over relatively small distances and times
within a Minkowski metric.

The so-called mass-energy reformation process is limited by the density of available vacuum field
energy out of which real particle/field energy systems must constantly reform themselves, and
there is an antagonistic relationship between real particle/field energy and virtual particle/field
energy such that the relative alterations in the densities of each be constrained by the principle of
their conservation in total combination through the principle of conservation of total 4-momentum
density.

In general outline, the mechanism of gravitation works through the parallel connections mentioned
earlier between the momentum-energy tensor and the space-time tensor in the following manner:
a decrease in the positional uncertainty of a collection of particles induces an increase in the
momentum uncertainty of these particles, one which is associated, through the definition of
momentum uncertainty within quantum mechanics, with an increase in the collective energy of the
particles which cannot originate with the forces initially bringing the particles together.
Consequently, to conserve energy, this energy must be supplied from somewhere; we maintain
that this energy is supplied by the quantum vacuum. This consequent decrease in the energy of
the vacuum energy field leads, in turn, to an increase in the energy of other distributions of
particles already occupying the general region of this modified vacuum state. This increase in
energy of the other particles occurs through an increase in the expectation value of the square of
the particles momentum, but without altering the quantum expectation value of the magnitude of
the particles total 4-momentum (consistent with special relativity). The only consistent way of
effecting such a change in the quantum state of these particles is for the momentum uncertainty of
the particles to increase. In turn, the positional uncertainty of these neighboring particles must
decrease, and in such a manner that the total system of particles experiences a decrease in its
positional uncertainty. The specific manner in which the particles do this is by being attracted
toward the center of mass of the total particle distribution - an effect which manifests itself
generally in the phenomenon of gravitational attraction. Because a particle's energy uncertainty
is not an intrinsic property of the particle itself, but must be communicated to the particle through
the interaction of the particle and the vacuum energy field sustaining its existence, the
communication of energy uncertainty between particles distributed throughout space is after the
fashion of an inverse-square law. Of course, a collection of particles may not really be thought to
have a defined positional uncertainty unless these particles form with one another a bound system
of particles. This is why we suspect that the gravitational force is only capable of coupling to
binding energy so that the energy of the unconstrained vacuum may not itself be thought to
gravitate; it is only spatiotemporal variations in the energy of the vacuum field which may be
thought to produce gravitational effects. In fact, it is the tendency of massive bodies to hold
themselves together against the opposite tendency of the cosmological acceleration field to
disperse the particles forming these bodies, which sets up the spherically symmetric imbalance in
the distribution and flow of the vacuum energy field ( in the case of spherically symmetric
matter distributions ) which manifests itself as the gravitational field engendered by these and all
other massive bodies within the expanding universe.
Three-momentum is conserved in particle collisions because the acceleration of a particle always
involves the rotation of its 4-momentum, describable by a Lorenz transformation, and equal and
opposite 4-momentum rotations on the part of the colliding particles always results; this is just a
relativistic expression of Newton's action-reaction principle. In the case of two colliding
particles with 0 initial and final total net momentum, an arbitrary quantity of energy may be
supplied to the two particles without disturbing the net momentum of the particles. This may be
regarded as a special instance of a property of momentum which is normally not obvious to an
observer confined in his observations to the three dimensions of Euclidean space, but which is
always operative within the context of the higher dimensionality of Minkowski spacetime.
Accelerations merely have the effect of rotating the 4-momentum of particles within Minkowski
space, as mentioned earlier, and so the magnitude of a particle's 4-momentum can never be altered.
In general, forces are manifestations of momentum exchanges between the local imaginary and
real momenta of particles and fields. When these momenta exchanges are rendered
asymmetrical, the 3-momenta of particles and fields are not generally conserved. Within a
hypersurface of simultaneity in flat Minkowski space, the vacuum 3-momenta are conserved
despite the participation of the vacuum energy field in the local cosmological velocity field. This
is due to the inherent symmetry of the momenta exchanges between the real and imaginary
vacuum momentum components. The presence of matter induces an asymmetry in the
momentum exchanges between the vacuum's real and imaginary components of momentum
reflected in the asymmetry of the vacuum's self-energy exchanges. When energy is
spontaneously imparted to a massy particle and then returned spontaneously to the vacuum energy
field, within this brief interval of time, the energy state of the local vacuum has altered slightly in
the direction of decreasing vacuum energy density so that each time the energy originally imparted
to the mass is paid back to the vacuum, the vacuum receives in return a slightly smaller quantity of
energy. The result of this is that the mass of the particle continually increases very slowly with
passing time as the universe continues to expand during the course of the constant exchange of
energy between the particle and the vacuum in which it is embedded. It is this constant exchange
of energy between the particle and its vacuum energy field which is responsible for the magnitude
of the particles momentum/energy uncertainty. We term this the "perturbation interpretation" of
the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. Because the cosmological expansion rate is locally
constant, the imaginary momentum of particles is always increasing very slowly with the
cosmological expansion. It can be independently demonstrated that the real momentum of
particles is always increasing at the very same rate as is their imaginary momentum. If the mass
of a body is relativistically increased, then if the magnitude of its 4-momentum is to be conserved,
then the 4-momentum of this massive body must experience a rotation in Minkowski space which
just compensates the effect of this increase in mass on the imaginary momentum of the body. In
brief, we say that an acceleration field induces an increase in the relativistic mass of a body, and
conversely, a field which induces an increase in the relativistic mass of a body, must itself
constitute an acceleration field.


The presence of a real fermion inhibits the appearance of certain virtual fermion-antifermion pairs
out of the vacuum because, by the Pauli exclusion principle, a virtual fermion in the same quantum
state as the real fermion which is already present is forbidden to appear where the positional
uncertainties of the real and virtual fermions were to overlap. Thus, the creation of the entire pair
within this region of overlapping positional uncertainty is suppressed. There should, of course,
be some sort of smooth decay of this suppressive effect of real fermions on the creation of virtual
fermion-antifermion pairs in the vacuum away from the center of the "volume of positional
uncertainty" within which the real fermion is to be found. In a similar manner, an energy of 2m
sc
2
must be created out of the vacuum in order for a black hole of mass energy, m
sc
2, to "evaporate"
via the emission of Hawking radiation. In the case of bosons, the opposite principle is operating.
This principle might be termed the Pauli "inclusion principle." The more bosons we have in a
particular quantum state, the greater is the probability that more bosons will enter this same
quantum state. We might, therefore, expect the presence of real matter to enhance the probability
of spontaneous emission/absorption of virtual bosons from the vacuum in a quantum state with
operator values closely approximating those expectation values describing the bosons mediating
the mean nuclear electro-weak field responsible for the binding forces of this matter. Of course,
what we are really saying here is that the operator expectation values themselves for vacuum
operators are altered, or shifted in value, from their "free space" values. This alteration in the
vacuum field may be viewed as stemming from either: 1) a shift in the value of the quantum
operators, 2) an alteration of the vacuum wavefunction acted upon by the quantum operators, or 3)
a combination of both 1) and 2). In the particular case where only the vacuum wavefunction
itself is altered, we might interpret this in terms of an alteration of the vacuum Hamiltonian from
which the vacuum wavefunction is calculated. We already know that any alteration in the
Hamiltonian describing the energy of a harmonic oscillator will result in the oscillator
undergoing a change in its zero-point oscillations, that is to say, the oscillator will suffer a shift in
its zero-point energy. Any change to the zero-point energy of a harmonic oscillator may be
modeled on a change in the oscillator's Hamiltonian owing exclusively to the appearance of an
additional potential term within the Hamiltonian function of the oscillator.

If we want to integrate the quantum mechanical and relativistic effects of matter on the vacuum
nuclear electro-weak field, then we must reconcile the influence, which changing mass-energy
distributions have upon the uncertainty relations within the vacuum, with our requirement that the
variations in vacuum momentum-energy and position-time uncertainties be connected to one
another along contiguous points in spacetime by series of instantaneous Lorenz transformations.
If the energy structure of the vacuum is modeled as a crystalline lattice of coupled harmonic
oscillators, then the reconcilement of the two so-called Heisenberg and Einstein effects of matter
upon the vacuum energy field might be possible. We might succeed in doing this by introducing
just the sort of ad hoc potential term alluded to earlier. By this , we mean the potential function
which incorporated into the Hamiltonian of the vacuum's oscillator meshwork effects the desired
spatio-temporal alteration in the vacuum's zero-point energy. Such a spatio-temporal variation in
the vacuum's zero-point energy should recoup all of the anticipated general relativistic effects, e.g.,
gravitational redshift, light deflection, time dilation, length contraction, mass increase, etc. It
should achieve this while at the same time explaining a concomitant change in the Bose-Einstein
and Fermi-Dirac statistics of the vacuum consistent with the application of wavefunction
symmetry/antisymmetry to the interaction of matter and vacuum. We might begin doing this by
explaining away, if you will, the seemingly inconsistent demands of the time/energy expression of
the Heisenberg principle and the relativistic expressions for time and energy within relativity
theory. This must be done with respect to the predicted interactions of time and energy
uncertainty within both theories. First, let us note that both principles, Einstein's and
Heisenberg's, agree with one another concerning the relationships of changes in length and
positional uncertainty, on the one hand, and momentum and momentum uncertainty, on the other
hand. Where these two theories conflict, is in comparing the effect of a change in energy
uncertainty on the value of the time uncertainty: relativity predicts that a relativistic increase in
energy uncertainty will be accompanied by a relativistic increase in time uncertainty, while
Heisenberg uncertainty principle predicts that an increase in the energy uncertainty of a quantum
mechanical system (here, a relativistic increase) will be associated with a decrease in the time
uncertainty of the system. The solution to this dilemma may lie with the simple fact that position
and time are not on an equal footing with one another as they are within the special relativity
theory - there is no operator corresponding to the time variable within quantum mechanics as in the
case of position, momentum and energy. Or the solution may lie with the possible inconsistencies
of the notion of energy uncertainty within both theories. This may be due to a deeper
inconsistency in the definition energy within both theories. Energy in quantum mechanics is
defined as the Hamiltonian function whereas the energy referred to in relativity theory is the
mass-energy, or, perhaps, the kinetic energy. The Hamiltonian is, of course, the sum of both the
kinetic and potential energies of the quantum system.
Of course, if the vacuum modeled as a Debye solid, that is, as a network of coupled harmonic
oscillators, then the Hamiltonian describing this system of oscillators must be consistent with
relativity. The potential energy of the Hamiltonian must be a function of not only x,y and z, but
must also be a function of the variable, ict, within the Minkowski metric. The kinetic energy
component of this vacuum Hamiltonian must be a function of all four components of the
relativistic 4-momentum vector of special relativity.
Perhaps we may think of virtual particle reactions as lying "off the mass shell" between two
extreme points off-shell. These are: virtual momentum fluctuations with negligible virtual
fluctuations in energy, and virtual energy fluctuations with negligible virtual fluctuations in
momentum. We may liken the spontaneous creation of virtual bosons from the vacuum as pure
momentum fluctuations, and of virtual fermion-antifermion pairs as pure energy fluctuations of
this vacuum.

Is spin another name for angular momentum about the ict axis? Is it possible, then, for a spin 0
particle to possess a component of angular momentum within the three normal spatial dimensions?
If so, then wouldn't this constitute a stark violation of the principle of the relativistic invariance of
angular momentum?


There is an apparent paradox associated with the gravitational redshift of starlight predicted by
Einstein's theory of general relativity. The general theory explains this reddening of the sun's
light, for instance, as being due to the fact that the energy of photons has an inertia associated with
it and that, therefore, the photons must give up the requisite energy in overcoming the Sun's
gravitational potential as they fly away from the Sun, off to infinity. The specific paradox is seen
when one considers the reverse of this process, the gravitational "bluing" of starlight as it falls into
a gravitational potential, and then imagines "bouncing" photons off of a huge mirror stationed
closed to the surface of the Sun, presumable in a very tight circular orbit! Photons leaving the
Earth for the Sun, for example, experience an increase in their energy ("bluing") which will
exactly offset the decrease in their energy on their return journey, after bouncing off the mirror, so
that the wavelength of these photons will not differ from that when initially leaving the Earth.

When particles are compressed into a progressively smaller volume of space, the positional
uncertainty of all the particles decreases. Consequently, the momentum uncertainty of all of the
particles will increase. Although the quantum mechanical expectation value of momentum for
the particles will not be affected by a change in the momentum uncertainty of the particles, nor the
square of the expectation value of the momentum, the expectation value of the square of the
momentum will change, however - it will increase. This all follows from the mere definition of
momentum uncertainty in quantum mechanics. This is to say that the total energy of the particles
will be increased simply by virtue of the obvious decrease in quantum positional uncertainty of the
particles as a result of their having been confined to a smaller volume. Note that this energy
conferred to the particles cannot be explained in terms of any work which might have been
performed upon the particles in the process of pushing them together, as we might have taken,
theoretically, any amount of force at all in pushing them together, depending upon how much time
we were willing to take in doing so. This is yet another reason for believing that the collective
vacuum energy field is associated with the operation of a conservative force-field. If we have not
really imparted any energy to these particles simply by virtue of having moved them together
somewhat, then how are we to explain the appearance of this energy in such a manner that the total
energy of the volume occupied by the particles remains constant, that is to say, so that the total
energy of this volume is conserved? We might postulate a kind of hidden energy which, along
with the particles, also occupies their space. We might further suppose that these particles may be
thought to be made out of this energy so that an increase in the energy of particles within a
particular volume of space becomes tied to a corresponding and compensating decrease in the
amount of this hidden energy such that the total energy of the volume remains unchanged - a kind
of radical energy conservation principle. One way to make such an assumption, and there are
indeed many different ways in which this assumption might be realized, would be to postulate that
there is a fourth component of particle momentum, previously unsuspected, itself unchanged by
our having pushed the particles together, but possessing a square whose quantum expectation
value has been altered in a manner which exactly cancels the changes in the expectation values of
the squares of the usual three independent components of momentum along the x, y and z axes of a
Cartesian coordinate system. One way for the momentum of the particles along the hypothetical
"w-axis," as well as along the other three axes, to remain unchanged, with the energy of the
particles changing at the same time, would be if the masses of the particles were permitted to
change in inverse proportion to the change in the velocity of the particles along this new w-axis.
We can succeed in doing this by permitting the particles to possess a negative kinetic energy which
is decreased as the particles are pushed together. But turning to an analogy with the case of a
particle "tunneling" through a potential barrier, any change in the necessarily negative kinetic
energy of the tunneling particle could be compensated for through judicious instantaneous
adjustment of the height of the potential barrier though which it is moving, that is to say, through
the appearance of a kind of ad hoc potential term which is to be added to the original barrier
potential, V(x). If we identify this ad hoc potential so-called with the gravitational potential, then
two things immediately follow: 1) a gravitational potential exists in space whether or not matter
is present; it is built into the very structure of space itself. And, 2) matter has the peculiar
effect of altering this essentially cosmologically-based potential through quantum mechanical
interactions taking place between all matter particles and the continuum of space in which they are
embedded. The quantum vacuum offers itself as a logical candidate for this medium of space
(aether, if you will) with which all matter particles are in interaction. Moreover, the variation of
the density of this vacuum energy due to the process of the cosmological expansion of space
provides a logical basis for our postulated potential barrier.
The increase in energy of this hypothetical system of particles is based on the decrease in their
mutual positional uncertainty and the masses of the particles are irrelevant to the determination of
this energy increase. If gravitational effects are to be ultimately traced to variations in the energy
uncertainty of mass-energy distributions, leading in turn to a modification in the cosmological
spatiotemporal variation in the vacuum nuclear-electroweak field from its equilibrium momentum
density in so-called free-space, then there must be some means of defining the masses of particles,
as well as the mass equivalence of field energies, in terms of their binding or self-energies alone.
Lorenz attempted to do this in the early 1900'
s with respect to the mass of the electron; he tried to
define the mass of the electron exclusively in terms of its electromagnetic self-energy. He was,
however, unsuccessful, and to my knowledge, no further efforts have been made to repeat the
attempt.

Let us look at this question in term of a hopefully illustrative analogy. Suppose instead of simple
monochromatic light, we send a modulated carrier wave of electromagnetic radiation from the
Earth to the Sun and back again. Suppose the modulation upon the carrier wave was a simple TV
transmission of a normally functioning analogue wall clock.

Particle creation at the event horizon of a black hole gives rise to a precisely thermal spectrum.
This suggests that the vacuum itself is in thermal equilibrium with itself so that the vacuum must
be continually exchanging energy with itself. because the time rate of change of all physical
quantities depends on the existence of energy uncertainty, dq/dt = [H, q] + f[H,q], where f[H,q] is
usually written as @q/@t. On this view, quantum mechanical systems possess energy
uncertainty because they are continually perturbed by intrinsic vacuum energy fluctuations. In
this way, all mass-energy systems are in a process of constant energy exchange with the quantum
mechanical vacuum. Since all macroscopic transfers and exchanges of energy between two
points in spacetime are mediated via the submicroscopic energy exchanges occurring within the
vacuum, it follows that conservation of energy macroscopically is dependent upon conservation of
energy exchanges within the vacuum. The temporal evolution of the quantum vacuum is,
therefore, mediated by its own action. A number of conclusions follow from this fact. 1) the
vacuums energy is conserved, but not by virtue of this energy possessing a determinate quantity:
the vacuums energy is conserved even though it is an
indeterminate quantity.

It is not possible to distinguish different time rates of change within a closed dynamical system.
This is because such a closed system possesses only a finite number of discrete energy levels, and
when the total system is in a particular energy eigenstate, its energy uncertainty is 0 so that there
are no vacuum fluctuations available with which to mediate changes in physical observables of the
system.

We may define the distance separating two events as a function of the number of vacuum
momentum fluctuations existing between the two said events. Similarly, we may define the time
interval between two such events as a function of the number of vacuum energy fluctuations
existing between the two said events. Of course, the partitioning of the relativistic momentum -
energy tensor into pure momentum versus pure energy components is dependent upon the
particular Lorenz reference frame within which one performs the momentum and energy
measurements.



Since the energy levels at which information is stored in a neural network are defined in terms of
the lowest stable energy of the neural network as a whole, virtual energy transitions between these
energy levels presuppose a coupling between the wavefunctions describing the quantum
mechanical states of all of the individual neurons of the network in the sense of their being
nonlocally connected.

It is the spontaneous coherence in which the neural network is embedded which provides the
ultimate context within which the neurological events are to be interpreted. This coherent field is
that of the nonlocally connected vacuum electromagnetic fluctuation field.

The many worlds interpretation of the quantum measurement problem may be understood as a
reversal in causal relationship between the uncollapsed wavefunction representing the mind of the
observer and the uncollapsed wavefunction representing the potentialities of the quantum
mechanical system being observed by this mind in the following manner: when the observer
notes the collapse of the wavefunction with respect to an observable he is attempting to measure,
what is actually occurring is the collapse of the wavefunction describing the observers mind so that
it now abstracts from the Weltall one particular eigenvalue of the object wavefunction, but without
inducing a collapse of the object wavefunction itself. One might ask what is the fundamental
difference between these two interpretations if there is not some third realm, independent of both
the observer's and object wavefunctions in terms of which one interpretation might be favored over
the other as being ontologically prior. This third realm belongs neither to that of causality (the
mutual interaction of collapsed wavefunctions), nor to that of contingency (the interaction of
collapsed with uncollapsed wavefunctions, and vice versa), but to that realm constituted solely by
the mutual interaction of all uncollapsed wavefunctions. This realm we may refer to as the
composite contingency - necessity manifold or continuum. There is an exactly parallel
assimilation between the category space - time with our category of necessity - contingency. In
this way we may realize that the concepts of locality and nonlocality constitute a distinction which
cuts across that constituted by the polar concepts chance and necessity.

Good is that which enhances creativity which is the explicit expression of implicitly integral
wholeness. Evil constitutes that which seeks to destroy, confuse, disintegrate as well as to impair
the expression of unity and wholeness through creativity. All creativity is in reality re-creativity.

The probability spectrum of a given wavefunction may be overdetermined so that there exists an
unlimited number of ways in which an ensemble of measurements of the eigenstates of the
wavefunction with respect to a particular observable may sum together so that the wavefunction
appears perfectly normalized; this property may permit an additional degree of freedom within
quantum mechanical virtual processes not previously suspected to exist.

There is an absolute simultaneity which mental events distinctly enjoy due to the fact that they do
not admit of perspective; if anything they constitute perspective. However, the order in which
neurophysiological occurrences occur ( in the brain) is at least partially dependent upon the
reference frame (in the relativistic sense) that these events occur (as observables). There must be
an embedding of these neural events in a substrate which extends beyond the merely
neurophysiological in order for a reference frame to be defined in which there can arise a
correspondence between subjective and objective simultaneities.

Since it is the pattern of virtual particle emission and absorption which every real particle
continually undergoes which determines the mass of the particle, it follows that real particle
masses are determined through the particular manner in which real particles exchange energy with
the fluctuating quantum vacuum field; consequently, alterations in the density of the vacuum field
energy will affect the masses of particles occupying this vacuum. We might expect that this
relationship between mass-energy and vacuum-energy is symmetrical in nature because the
interactions mediating the continual exchange of energy between matter and vacuum are
themselves reversible interactions. This two-way causal, symmetrical relationship between mass
energy and vacuum energy within quantum field theory reminds us of a similar relationship
between mass and space-time curvature within the theory of general relativity: the presence of
mass within a given region of spacetime produces an additional curvature in this spacetime; also,
an increase in the curvature of a particular region of spacetime produces an increase in the mass of
particles or material bodies already occupying this region. Since spatio-temporal variations in the
energy density of the vacuum energy field are correlated with variations in spacetime curvature,
we might suppose that some sort of conformal mapping relationship obtains between the ratio of
real particle to virtual particle energy densities and the degree of mutual inclination of the time and
space axes ( of the Minkowski light cone ) to one another. This relationship is also suggested by
the fact that real particles are virtual particles which have been promoted to the level of real
existence through the absorption of energy; particles are excitations of the vacuum state which is
itself a reservoir or sea of virtual particles. Also, through the application Mach's formula for the
speed of sound to this vacuum energy reservoir, we see that such a conformal mapping relationship
between Einsteinian space-time curvature and spatial-temporal variations in the zero-point energy
of the vacuum (or, alternatively, its energy density) must involve mappings between the hypersolid
angle swept out by the light line in four-dimensional (Minkowski ) spacetime, and the energy
density (or pressure) of the vacuum.

Quantum Mechanics tells us that a closed dynamical system may only undergo temporal evolution
provided that a certain energy uncertainty exists within the system. This energy uncertainty is
just the standard deviation of the energy about its mean or expectation value. This energy
uncertainty may be interpreted in terms of a time-average sum of random energy perturbations to
the system "from outside" the system. These random energy perturbations manifest themselves
in the form of energy exchanges between the quantum mechanical system and the sea of virtual
particles in which this system is embedded. The interaction of these virtual particles with the
quantum mechanical system are responsible for virtual transitions of the quantum state of the
system to other quantum states. The only real energy transitions available to the quantum
mechanical (dynamical) system are those from amongst the set of virtual energy transitions
which are continually occurring within the time interval specified by the system's time uncertainty.
The density of this virtual particle energy sea has a direct bearing upon the rate of temporal
evolution of any given quantum mechanical system. Our central hypothesis is that the presence
of matter has a perturbing effect upon this virtual particle energy sea, i.e., the quantum vacuum
field, and this perturbing effect is, namely, to decrease the overall density of this vacuum energy
which results in a similar decrease in the time rate of change of all physical processes within the
spatial volume occupied by this matter. This proposed vacuum mechanism is exactly similar to
the mechanism by which a quantum resonant cavity decreases the rate of spontaneous emission of
'cavity - detuned' photons by a Rydberg excited atom. The resonant cavity achieves this by
excluding most of the photons of half-wavelength larger than the cavity diameter: to wit, it does
this by decreasing the energy density of vacuum electromagnetic field fluctuations of roughly the
same energy as that of the suppressed atomic energy transitions.

In the first couple of decades after the first "atom - smashing" experiments performed with the
primitive particle accelerators of the 1930's, it had been supposed that the particle products of these
violent collisions were actually pieces of the colliding particles which had been jarred loose by the
sudden impulsive force of their slamming together. But soon after this early period the kinetic
energies of the particles going into these accelerator collisions began to significantly exceed the
combined mass - energy of the particles which themselves initiated the reaction, with the result
that the end product of these collisions was a set of particles with individual member particles
possessing a mass greater than the combined mass of the particles originally participating in the
collision. The common sense "broken pieces" explanation of accelerator products now had to
be modified in some way or rejected outright. Two alternative interpretations of this "mass
paradox" were suggested by particle theorists: either the product particles were created from the
excitation of the vacuum by the kinetic energy of the collision with the "input" particles serving as
the points of application of the excitation energy, or they were really inside the initial particles all
along but the excess mass - energy was being exactly balanced by an equal and opposite negative
energy due to the internal binding forces holding the particles together.


Thanks for the response. An energy eigenstate is an abstraction in the sense that only a closed
system can be in an energy eigenstate, but thermodynamically this is not possible because of the
fact that vacuum fluctuations in momentum-energy cannot be screened (kinda like gravity).
Some modes can be screened of course and the Casimir Effect is an example of this. But in this
case only momentum fluctuations, virtual photons, are being suppressed here. Virtual
electron/positron pairs are not suppressed, in fact, the probability of the creation/annihilation of
these pairs is actually enhanced between the Casimir plates. We may think of virtual
fermion/antifermion creation-annihilation events as energy fluctuations, collectively of spin 0 and
the photon
creation-annihilations as momentum fluctuations of spin 1. Together, the spin 0 energy
fluctuations and the spin 1 momentum fluctuations may be considered to be a fluctuating
momentum-energy four vector of expectation value for T(i,k) (momentum-energy tensor) = 0 and
this is part of the reason that the vacuum does not gravitate, I believe. Getting back to the main
point, as long as there is a fluctuation component to the Hamiltonian, which cannot be completly
removed through supplied boundary conditions, the system will never exist in a true energy
eigenstate and will be forced to temporally evolve due to the exchange of momentum energy
between the system and its fluctuation Hamiltonian (the vacuum fluctuations).

During uniform acceleration, the space and time axes are displaced by twice the angle relative to
each other as do these axes relative to their inertial frame counterparts.

The fact that composite matter cannot exist as virtual particles suggests that it is only composite
matter, i.e., matter possessing a binding energy over and above that of the vacuum constituting the
elementary particles separately. This fact suggests that the particle vacuum fields do not, in
isolation, possess a distinct gravitational field.

Relative versus absolute spacetime rotations are important in connection with spin statistics.

Supposing the quantum vacuum itself can be the source of a gravitational field leaves no quantum
mechanism (behind the scenes) available to mediate gravitation.

Certainly the positive definite signature of the Minkowski metric is intimately related to the
symmetry and antisymmetry of the wavefunctions describing fermions and bosons.

Because topology is constituted by spin statistics of virtual particles the energy of the zero-point
field falls outside of the scope of general relativity.

Because energy uncertainty drives temporal evolution and gravitation can only manifest itself by
deflection of timelike vectors so that they acquire spacelike components, it follows that the
underlying dynamism of gravity must be the energy fluctuations of the quantum vacuum.

Because an objects energy is even if only in a tiny part reconstituted from out of its own energy,
the object cannot move along its own time axis at the speed of light.

In the exchange of substance in the continual reconstitution of an object there is a discontinuity and
hence topological change.

Does the quantum vacuum possess an unbroken spin 2 gauge symmetry, obviating the need for a
spin 2 exchange boson?

Normally, symmetric and antisymmetric wavefunctions cannot be superposed. The
wavefunctions describing bosons and fermions are in this sense orthogonal. It may be that the
orientation of spins for spin 0 and spin 1 particles are normally mutually orthogonal. We have the
bosonization of fermions, but there does not appear to be any such phenomenon as the
fermion-ization of bosons.

1. In what is called the Casimir effect, parallel electrically conducting plates separated by some
small distance, d, exclude all modes of vacuum electromagnetic field fluctuations, i.e., virtual
photons, of half-wavelength greater than d. The plates modify the v.e.f. mode structure of the
vacuum between the plates. If energy is supplied to the plates too rapidly, separating the plates
to a new, larger distance, d', nonadiabatically, then when the old wavefunction describing the
former configuration of the plates is expanded in terms of the new set of energy eigenfunctions
representing the new set of v.e.f. modes, the vacuum will be found to be in an electromagnetically
excited state with one of the modes above the ground state now occupied by a photon. This
corresponds to the creation of a real photon from the modified vacuum.

2. Such a photon would have to be passing through a field providing the energy necessary to
prevent the electron positron pair from recombining to give back the original photon. For
example the photon would have to pass very close to an atomic nucleus so that the pair would be
separated by the nucleus' electric field.

3. If you are speaking only of the vacuum electromagnetic field, that is, only of the e/m
component of the total quantum vacuum field. There are, of course, other components
corresponding to momentum fluctuations in the form of virtual W,Z, and gluon particles, not to
mention mesons, etc., and other integral spin, force-carrying virtual particles. There are also
energy fluctuations of the total vacuum field such as virtual fermion /antifermion pairs, e.g.,
electron /positron, muon/antimuon, tao/antitao, etc.

4. It is a purely quantitative distinction. A virtual particle may be thought of as a real particle
possessing energy equal to or less than the energy uncertainty of the quantum system of
which it is an excitation. A real particle may be thought of as a virtual particle which
possesses more energy than the energy uncertainty of the system with which it exchanges
momentum-energy. The fact that the distinction between real and virtual particles is only
quantitative in this manner implies that Bose-Einstein statistics applies equally to virtual and
real bosons and that, moreover, Fermi-Dirac statistics applies equally to virtual and real
fermions. The real vs. virtual distinction for particles is dependent upon reference frames in
the relativity sense, e.g., virtual particles can become real in an accelerated reference frame. I
believe that real particles cannot become virtual however and this would imply, if true, that
acceleration is irreversible in the thermodynamic sense and this is why we should expect the
vacuum's of gravitational fields to possess an entropy. This is perhaps the same irreversibility
associated with Penrose's one graviton limit for spontaneous, orchestrated reduction of the
wavefunction (OR).

then the Fourier analysis of this function give positive and negative frequencies, corresponding to

Occupation numbers for Bose and Fermi statistics: number of fermions shifts the number of

Frequency, f, and wavenumber, k, are only discrete variables in the case where boundary
conditions have been placed upon the bosons, b(f,k). It is in just this case where the time and
space variables may be treared as quantized with a complementary description as gravitational
(spacetime) waves, or, alternatively, as gravitons. We would not, in light of the above, expect
such pseudogravitons to be produced in the absence of boundary conditions placed upon the
vacuum boson field.

In a gravitational field, this energy radiation rate will be dilated in accordance with general

@$
Thus smaller zero-point energy fluctuations will be required to prevent collapse of
the electron into the atoms nucleus.

The perfection of the strong equivalence principle seems to be tied to the condition of perfect
Lorenz invariance, which, by the way, is violated by a vacuum with only a finite spectrum of
modes of electromagnetic oscillation, such as is defined by the Planck wavelength (as an energy
cutoff) and the radius of the observable (mutually causally-connected universe).

The principle of relativity seems to demand reference frames in which the gravitational potential is
time-varying.

If a spectrum of radiation is thermal due to its self-interaction, then this spectrum cannot be
Lorenz-invariant, but defines a privileged frame of reference. If the radiation spectrum
possesses its thermal nature solely by virtue of the correlations between the photons after the
manner in which they are created, with each photon being destroyed, or annihilated before any
can interact with the others so as to disturb these correlations, then this thermal spectrum should
possess Lorenz-invariance.

There should be uncertainties, analogous to those in p and E, in the other 12 components of
stress-momentum-energy. Are we in this case no longer dealing with the simple case of a
quantum mechanical system which can be described by a wavefunction, but which must be
described in terms of a density matrix.

Bohms statement in his book, Quantum Theory (1951), that causal connections can always be
alternatively expressed in terms of collections of correlations appears related to the fact that the
expectation values and Heisenburg uncertainties of observables can always in turn be expressed in
terms of a combination of fluctuations and uncertainties.

Any energies smaller than /\E may only be connected to each other and to the system in which /\E
is defined by virtue of nonlocal correlations. But can /\E be decomposed into both locally,
causally connected and nonlocally correlated eigenfunctions? Can /\E be described by a
quantum statistical mixture?

Virtual gravitons cannot be understood to be quantum fluctuations in spacetime topology since
topology is prior to metric and hence to an established scale of space and time, still less of scale of
spacetime interval.

If the metric tensor components are used to describe deviations of the metric from that of flat
Minkowski metric, then the notion of time dependence of the metric can be coherent.

It is clear that the metric of spacetime is changing with time due to cosmological expansion. Of
course changes with time in the stress-momentum-energy tensor are also taking place with the
cosmological expansion. The notion is not, consistent with the field equations of general
relativity since this would be a casae of a time-varying metric in the absence of time-variation in
the distribution of stress-momentum-energy. Yet certainly time-varying of the embedding space
(of spacetime itself) should produce dynamic effects which could only be taken into account by
general relativity in an ad hoc manner; this is perhaps how we should understand Einsteins
emendation of his original field equations when he inserted into them a cosmological constant
term. Einsteins motive in inserting this ad hoc term was to resolve the inherent instability of the
spacetime described by the field equations with respect to its collapse or expansion.

Does the stress-momentum-energy of the quantum vacuum form a tensor, or does it merely
constitute a tensor in combination with particles and fields? What invariants, if any, are
associated with the quantum vacuum?

Is it ever the case that,

/ s = / vac x vac/ s = I ?

where is a field or field component and s is the spacetime interval, vac is the quantum vacuum
field and I is and invariant. In other words, does the product of changes in the components of
certain invariants with respect to changes in the quantum vacuum field with certain changes in this
vacuum field with respect to changes in local spacetime interval itself produce an invariant?

Nonlocality arises in general relativity because the global boundary conditions of spacetime are
not reducible to a composition of local spacetime boundary conditions.




This suggests a damped, resonant oscillator circuit model of inertia. Can exponential envelope
and enclosed sinusoidal variation be attributed to orthogonal or coupled, pseudo-orthogonal
Fourier components?

There is apparently no sufficient reason for distinguishing the case where a single consciousness
takes myriad distinct forms, i.e., egos from that wherein each ego is the limitation of a wholly and
substantially distinct, transcendental consciousness. Only from the perspective of that which is
the author of the principle of order determining which metaphysical case is ultimate reality are
these two cases distinguishable and actually distinct. It seems that the requirement that ultimate
reality be determinate in some respect or other in turn demands that such an author of the principle
of being itself possess being.


To survive the loss of ones human life, one must have prior to this event, contacted and come to
identify with ones deeper identity that has never been revealed from within this life that is to be
lost.

Consciousness as the source of all metaphor must itself literally exist, if literal (written/spoken)
versus metaphorical (image) make up a genuine duality.

Differences inhering in consciousness that are not essential if the characterization of
consciousness as such, but merely a subcategory thereof.

The transcendental nature of individual consciousness is that of the transcending of existence
(appearance), which of consciousness in its suchness is that of reality itself (Being).

Compare and contrast the indefinite extensibility of consciousness with the capacity for blank
paper to have anything whatever written on it.

Some systems of thought however brilliant are not inspired by truth but by illusion, opposition,
imitation, to wit, they are coherent resonances of the intellect without any inner principle by which
they might sustain themselves thought, in other words, engendered by only 3 of the 4 varieties of
cause specified in Aristotelian metaphysics, i.e., efficient, formal, material, causes in the absence
of the operation of final causes.

Is god consciousness an extension of consciousness reflection it has always caught of itself but
not dissociated sufficiently to be reified as other. Or is God glimpsed within the otherness of the
Self (Father) and of the self in the other (Christ), spirit the principle of order connecting the two?

How can we properly accept Christs sacrifice as a gift if we dont feel unworthy of receiving it?



Rule-governed strings of words describing how to form word strings these are the sentences that

The capacity of the brain to produce and maintain conscious states is dependent upon the
maintaining of both proper internal and external connections. Grace what the heathen term
good luck.

When one doesnt have a life of ones own, one may substitute a kind of tourism of other peoples

Exploring the combinational permutational space of possibilities alters the complexion of this
space in a way that must be represented in terms of an altogether novel set of combinational and
permutational possibilities, i.e., a change on basis is effected, however one that is not symmetrical
(as a transformation), c.f., Quantum Theory (1951), David Bohm, on similarities of QM systems
and consciousness.

Problems with early marriage coalescing of inchoate identities crystallized only much later with
circumstantial shift. On the other hand, two mature, determinate, independent individuals

The desire to monkey or spielen mit what one has identified as the mechanical or protruding,
deterministic component of another persons being is one surely informed by a necrophilic
impulse.

We have to consider that the principle of the being of the individuals consciousness has ot have its
origin outside of the individuals being qua being. This is due to the (as already noted)
transcendental nature of the concept of consciousness as such.

The disturbance of the observer to the QM system that causes momentum to be imparted by the
observer is unanticipated due to the freely-willed origination of the causal chain of the
disturbance. For otherwise, the individuals act of will in imparting this disturbance momentum
to the system could have been included along with the system under observation to form a kind of
super-system, itself evolving deterministically, which is to say, the observers act could not here
provoke any state reduction of the vector describing the subsystem (of the super-system) under
his observation/measurement. The act of quantum observers upon QM systems induces state
vector reduction (i.e., collapse of the wavefunction) because the observer is in reality not wholly
contained in any possible QM system which also contains the system being observed/measured by
him. This fact must undoubtedly carry some important metaphysical implications for our
understanding of the nature of this observers being.

When one acts in accordance with ones nature one enjoys the protection at least for a time of grace
regardless of what that nature might be, good or ill. When one commits evil acts not in
accordance with ones own nature, it is here that ones just desert is received quickest.

The fact of good and evil forming a four category grid instead of a simple duality, has caused much
confusion and error in the moral thinking of Man, as humankind conceptualizes most conveniently
and naturally in terms of dual category distinctions, i.e., (natural, good), (natural, evil), (unnatural,
good), (unnatural, evil).

A superposition of all possibilities would perhaps imply an absence of all boundary conditions.
But is this possible? Could this infinite superposition be altered? Deconstruction and
dissociation: We must be as little children to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.

Transcendence is the guarantor of the fulfillment of deferred meaning/reference. An underlying
system of credit is indeed in place which permits the exchange of discursive and abstract symbols
of value ( here read information). The metaphor of economy serves here as a touchstone for
exploring the nature of language and intersubjectivity. Awareness of and use of the concept of
dissemination as a necessary component of truth validates the method of arriving at truth through
the untwisting and disentangling of wrong and confused ideas.

@$
Only a freely acting will can stabilize the finite within the infinite. Dialectical change is
irreversible, historical change in which the continuum of possibility is reconstituted.

The principle by which the order of transcendent being is established cannot be identified with any
particular infinite and transcendent being.

In death, time as a category is transcended. Death separates my temporally bound, existent self
from myself as transcendence just as does this gulf separating my being from that of the other. In
fact, the separation between self and other is indeed deeper and a more profound one than is that
dividing the self in its mode of embodied immanent existence from that of disembodied,
transcendent being. The self and the other are not separated by merely one, but by at least two
deaths. In this way the possible transcendence of the self in death is less remarkable than is the
transcendence of any given self in a theoretical passing of this self over to that of the other. The
notion of the structure of the unknown is relevant to consider here. Two individuals do not
revert to the same ground upon their respective deaths. The question arises at this point whether,
in the face of the unlimited variety of others, it is really proper to speak of such a notion as The
Other, as though we should be here invoking by this term a universal category. The shifting of
scientific paradigms is necessitated by the contact between Man as fundamentally creative in his
capacity of initiating causal chains, that is, in his capacity of acting outside the anticipation of the
naturalistic order thus far established, i.e., Nature and Natures characteristic tendency toward
reforming herself so as to maintain an order of self-consistency. Temporality then is not a
continual departure from a completed state of being so much as a continual endeavor of returning
to an order of perfected and timeless, finished being in the face of a continual recasting of being
along wholly new and unanticipated lines. Nature is in a constant flux of returning to being
while being prevented always from doing so.

Because existence and nonexistence as a dual opposition of categories is incomplete because
transcended by the category of being, it follows that causal relationships between existents cannot
be captured within the scope of purely abstract relations: there is always fluctuation outside the
scope of any causal variable that intrudes upon all possible system or ordered descriptions
encompassing this and other variables. Every surface possesses a depth incommensurate with
itself. Every function must fail to be reducible to form admitting a temporality that escapes all
possible unification, i.e., and spatialization. So temporality is necessarily a plurality of infinite
multiplicity.

The limitation of the transcendent infinite introduced uncertainty, not only with respect to
knowledge formerly held in completion but also with respect to the knowledge held or potentially
graspable at higher levels than the one descended to though still short of that at which absolute
knowledge is experienced. But if the path of limitation is not reversible, then this uncertainty
must become relative to potential knowledge graspable by others. The grasping of this
knowledge of the other can be only indirect and mediated. Objective knowledge is the
representation within one subject of the subjective knowledge of the others knowledge that is
itself already a representation of the knowledge possessed by still other subjects, and so one.
Inadequate expression of the self that is known (privation of means), as well as inadequate
knowledge of the self (privation of ends) causes unintentional and intentional suffering
respectively.

The nonlocal hidden variable may indeed turn out to reside within the continuum of consciousness
as the underlying basis of the integrity of its interface with the brains of quantum observers. We
might say that God sees both A and B, the stations at which quantum entangled photons are
analyzed, simultaneously regardless of the reference frame chosen at which the initial act of
measurement is preformed, whether A and B.

According to
au=
Aquinas, man only fell morally as a result of his indiscretion in the garden of
Eden, leaving his intellect intact, still as much in the image of Gods Intellect as prior to this moral
misstep, c.f.,
au=
Francis Schaeffer, Escape From Reason. If this is true, then perhaps, as
indicated by Adler in the prologue to his book, Ten Philosophical Mistakes, the other shoe (of the
Fall of Man) managed to drop during the 17
th
Century sometime within the beginning of the
philosophically so-called Modern Period. Whether this intellectual fall of Man with the end of
the Reformation, which marked the collapse of the Churchs spiritual authority in Europe, is
indeed mere coincidence, remains a point of never-ending debate. The fact, however, that this
collapse of spiritual authority was necessarily conjoined with the decline of Aristotelian
metaphysics, which had buttressed Church Theology since the time of the Schoolmen of the
Middle Ages, underscores the possibility of a second (intellectual) Fall of Man, particularly if
au=
Adler is right that all of the fundamental departures in metaphysical thought from Aristotle are
to be traced to the major English and Continental thinkers of the 17
th
and 18
th
Centuries. These
misguided, if ambitious, departures from philosophical common sense represented by the
systematic speculations of
au=
Berkeley, Hume, Kant, etc., have continued apace during the period
of Modernity as represented by such thinkers as
au=
Husserl, Sartre, Quine, Rorty, Ryle, etc., and
continued with the postmoderns, Foucault, Lacan, Derrida, Deleuze, Gattari, etc.

The characteristic distinguishing these later efforts from those of earlier empiricist and rationalist
philosophers (with regard to this notion of flouting philosophical common sense) seems to be that
of academic ambition and a heartily conscious appreciation for the power of the Sophist to shape
the indeterminate philosophical reality where it will cooperate. Where this inchoate grist of
thought refuses to conform to the tugs and twists of the cynical philosopher, then human
suggestibility, academic faddishness, and the sociological nature of knowledge may be relied upon
for assistance in the efficacious marketing of ones chimerical and monstrous systems, theories
and propositions to the bored and clamoring philosophical consumer.

The momentum measurement assumes the accessibility of the entire state extended over an
arbitrarily large spatial domain. In the non-relativistic QM there is domain and hence the
momentum (and other observables) can in principle be measured with arbitrarily high accuracy.
For the above quotation, c.f.,
cit=
arXiv:quant-ph/0103019, p.2. The above quoted passage
points up the interdependence of the momentum and time uncertainties of a QM system and hence
a further interdependence of such systems momentum and energy uncertainties. The
orthogonality of two quantum sites is, strictly speaking, a nonlocal property, both in Hilbert space
and in the Minkowski spacetime. - p.2 (see above)

With regard to the question of how curvature of spacetime affects the orthogonality of the
eigenstates comprising a wavefunction, is there possibly an equivalent statement of a function
such as /\Q(x

The inadequacies of quantum theory in the face of the possibility of self-observing quantum

Must spacelike separated quantum measurements commute? This simply depends on the

The motivational force caused by the reaction of vacuum fields to the uniform acceleration of a
perfectly reflecting surface (mirror) vanishes in the case of a single mirror. Inertial forces only
arise in the case where a second vacuum radiation scatterer is present, c.f.,

suggests that it is only systems possessing binding energy, which possess inertial mass.

Nothingness as the proper infinite context for global states of individual consciousness this suggest
that nothingness (as the multiply unknown/unknowable) possesses and infinitely deep and broad
structure, as opposed to no structure whatever.

My reason for asserting that there must have been an act of willing behind my having become the
embodied being that I am is that, there seems to be no possibility for a closed, exhaustive set of
necessary conditions, i.e., a sufficient condition, for my having become me rather than some one
else. So the Universe would have had to churn away from eternity past until conditions could
have become proper for my advent. Identity is not conditional, merely the forms that an identity
takes on.
January 2003
Unconditional identity is identical with itself; conditional identity fails this
test.


If my infinitely past preexistence is presumed, then my continuity as a not necessarily embodied
being (or consciousness) introduces an open-endedness transcending the defining of any
exhaustive set of conditions necessary for my being who I am (my identity), continuity over
infinite past time implies the existence of a being possessing infinite causal over determinateness.
Continuity may be by continuation of a connecting thread (which needs be sustained by the
continued orchestration of favorable contextual conditions), or by virtue of the robustness of the
potentiality for a given discrete structure or function due to the conditions for its presence always
being present within the ground of being, i.e., the implicature of the entity is a permanent feature of
the eternal ground of being.

By virtue of the concept of consciousness being a transcendental category, it follows of some
property or attribute which itself by its very nature is never given once within experience. We
deduce rather the fact of our possessing consciousness not from the fact of its intermittence within
neither experience periods of unconsciousness nor, therefore, periods of alternation of
consciousness with unconsciousness (c.f., sleep). Rather this deduction the fact of our own
consciousness comes from another apparent fact, that of the impenetrability of the mind of others,
supposing they really exist, that is. And here we have returned to our earlier intuition, of the
existence of (a) transcendental mind, within which the concept of consciousness as such may
actually be entertained. The belief in the existence of such a transcendent mentality is
tantamount, where the required quantity of faith underscoring this act of belief is concerned, to the
belief than one possesses consciousness in the absence of the direct experience or intuition of this
ones individual consciousness. To wit, belief in God (as a transcendentally given Mind)
constitutes no greater an irrational leap of faith than that by which I believe in the fact of the
existence of other minds from my own, after the fashion of Daseins natural standpoint. The fact
of the existence of the minds of others whose presence along with that of myself is daily suggested
to me through the dubitable evidence daily presented to me by my sense perception.

question that Deep Thought admits, he was unfit to properly answer, having already given his
dysfunctional answer to this question as 42.

The possibility of reference depends upon two distinct further possibilities: the possibility of the
wholly external (i.e., the transcendent reality) and the rather problematic possibility of something
that is capable of referring to itself. What can we say about the possibility of an entity that
encompasses both of these possibilities?

On a personal level, of course, the most evil being imaginable for me is that one whose greatest
delights is in my greatest suffering and whos greatest suffering is constituted by my greatest
happiness. That is why evil, if it is to be taken seriously, has to be taken in the utmost personal
way possible. My otherness is precisely an aggrandizement that is entirely at his expense; it is a
theft from the heart of his (the evil ones) very selfhood, and so is ultimately the sparking and
inflammation of the profoundest of jealousies and covetousness. But this is to cast evil behavior
as serving an almost instinctive if morally incoherent defensive strategy, and we dont want to let
evil off so handily. We absolutely must make sure to include in any adequate definition of evil
the crucial dimension of cruelty.

There is no difference between presence and mock presence according to the Deconstructionists.

The Spirit is the connection between the Father and Son as, respectively, the transcendent and
immanent poles of a (in a certain sense) single Being. But this connection between the two
poles is a unique, irreversible, and contingent one, informed by the dialectic of the enlarging of
existence. And this connection may engender the altogether novel, possibilities for Being and so
there is the natural requiring of the independence of this Spirit and hence a mutual independence
though interdependence of the three: transcendent, immanent, and this dialectical being that we
have termed the Spirit.

Is God then the author of the transcendent principle of Mans transcendent being? - the double
appearance of the term transcendent being in no wise a redundancy, either intentional or
otherwise.

Adams existence originally pointed to the proper and real transcendent being though after the fall
it now pointed to a mere projection of false being.

We should distinguish between the case of Christ as God (the Father) become Man from that of
Christ as an altogether separate though intimately to God related person become a man. In the
first interpretation temporality and eternity are dialectically related in the second they are merely
related via a mutual projection.

In his fallen state Man is a duality falsely believing himself to be a unity, when in fact he had been
made in the image of God, i.e., a trinity. This fallen state for Man consists in the disconnection
of his transcendent and immanent selves. For Christ, this connection between the transcendent
and immanent had been continually maintained up to the time of his being forsaken by the Father
while on the Cross.

We naturally assume that our identity and our individual consciousness as such (qua individual
consciousness) are indeed synonymous. But it is not so for consciousness as such since
consciousness in its mere suchness, though necessary, is not sufficient to fix personal identity at
all or, at least in the sense of personhood searchable within human understanding. All of the
grand categories of human experience: love, beauty, power, compassion, insight and so on are but
abstractions drawn from within the depth of experience over the biographical history of each
particular human creature though not from across the breadth of the experience of these creatures
collectively, except in a purely hypothetical, language mediated way. Substance differentiated is
indeed Form. Undifferentiated substance is on necessity and in its essence uncreated and
timeless. And a plurality of substances if not itself a differentiation of some prior unitary
substance must likewise be essentially eternal though each may participate in temporality only
through the mutual participation of substances.

An order of a plurality of distinct substances constitutes an order altogether devoid of form.
Such an order can only be grasped by a being that is itself prior to substance.
When one makes a prediction about a persons future actions, the moment that this person obtains
knowledge of the prediction, an abrupt change ensues, in the spectrum of probability of action by
this person. Doesnt this remind us of the effects of a quantum observers act of observation
upon the system observed?

The differences between consciousness and whether these differences may assume a multiple
ordering (or are simply, in fact, multiply ordered) has bearing on the question of whether being
itself is multiply ordered, c.f., chain of being.
Now difference, that is, difference between, and perhaps, more generally, the relation of
betweenness itself, is by its nature abstract. Interestingly, abstraction and abstractness (-ness
suffix usually connotes quality or essence), originally supposed to be an artifact of mind and or
both its operation and its activity (operation kinematic; activity dynamic) was demonstrated by
Goedel to transcend all finite mind (at least).

Difference between transcendental consciousnesses should perhaps constitute abstract relations
escaping the grasp of each particular transcendental mind. (Is there somehow necessarily a
paradox involved in the notion of a particular transcendental mind?)

Is ones compassion for the suffering of others only really sincere given that one would take that
persons place if one only could? And what are we to think of a sufferer who presented with the
same choice, would accept such an offer?

The question arises whether there can be such a thing as a context of consciousness (of the
individual consciousness as such), and also of whether there is some overarching context for
consciousness as such (as opposed to mere individual consciousness as such). The number of
given transcendental consciousnesses must be unity or infinity. There can be no sufficient
ground for only a finite number of such transcendental beings being given unless it be the will of a
still higher Being, itself unique or an a particular among an infinite number of such beings.

Consciousness as an exemplar of consciousness as such appears to require a ground of
being, i.e., transcendent mind. If a mind is posited that is not connected to this ground of being,
then this is either transcendent mind prior to creation or a solipsistic conscious entity. Since the
concept of consciousness cannot be grounded in terms of a general abstract quality held in
common between various exemplars of consciousness entities, it must be grounded in terms of
relation with a transcendent or universal mind as instantiations, not of an abstract category, but as
instances of creation. There seems no avoiding Plantingas argument that atheism, if true is
tantamount to solipsism of the lone atheist.

Ren Descartes, in 1600 or thereabouts, to
see if he could be certain of anything at all, even made the supposition that there might be some
kind of demon who would be constantly fooling him that what he thought he was looking at didn't
exist; and he couldn't find any way to be certain that this was not happening. So the existence of the
world "out there" in addition to my experience is immediately evident, but not self-evident.
Denying that there is one does not in any way imply affirming it. Still, the immediacy of the
experience of a world "out there" which you experience (you can't really believe there isn't one,
even if you theoretically "convince" yourself) indicates that ther is something that is
extremely forceful telling us this fact, see the following, c.f.,
http://fundamentalissues.net/metaph/met4.htm. Is there any mechanism that could render the
probability of a network of Boltzmann brains arising as a fluctuation more probable than the
similar spontaneous arising of a solitary Boltzmann brain? The logic of the context-meaning and
context-free-spatialized-time connections implies that intentionality cannot obtain in conjunction
with an absolute failure to refer. We should not fail to appreciate here the underlying logic of the
multiverse being more probable than an isolated, solitary universe.

The reduction of the state vector is commonly supposed to be an essentially random occurrence.

Yet there must be no basis for preferring a given state function description over another when no
one has yet interacted with the system in question. Therefore the system possesses as many
wavefunction descriptions as there are actual potential observers (and this may go for potential
potential observers, as well). Note here that observation of a quantum system can never truly
be joint or collective.

It is readily understood that what is called inertia, i.e., mass, is merely constituted by the relative
ratio of internal to external coherence and consistency of the structured network of
momentum-energy fluctuations constituting the matter + vacuum system. The actual resistance
to impressed forces is read in the off-diagonal components of the stress-momentum-energy
tensor for the mater + vacuum system. The relativistic increase in mass due to its acceleration is
importantly related with the decrease in available density of Heisenberg-uncertain energy (within
the quantum vacuum) and increase in density of Heisenberg-uncertain 3-momentum of the mass
(internally). This is why the inertial mass at any given moment during the mass acceleration is
dependent upon the instantaneous value of this ratio of vacuum energy to mass 3-momentum
densities.

Only approximately 0.4% of the human genetic sequence is unshared with our closest primate
relative, the bonobo ape. Man shares as much as 50% of his genetic code with the lowly yeast
molds. It is probable that human that Man might be, say, between 0-25% and 0-10% genetically
related to life on other planets though perhaps it should in principle be rare for this figure to be
much above 0 despite the alleged universality of physical law throughout the uni- verse.
But the probabilities so casually referred to here may not be properly definable in the absence of
some appropriately restrictive set of boundary condition, i.e., the probability for, e.g.,
self-reproducing, information bearing/expressing, stable molecular structures may not be
properly renormalizable. We may wish to make a distinction at this point between what we may
term internal versus external resonance/resonant structures. Externally resonant structures
would be described by renormalizable wavefunctions.

This would not, however, be expected to be the case for internally resonant structures. Such
structures would exhibit a certain degree of cohesiveness that may well manifest itself in ways,
which defy a QM description. One need only reflect here how the lack of a complete and
consistent QM theory of the Helium atom, similar to classical physics longstanding and now
historic difficulties with the solution of the gravitational three body problem, puts the proper QM
treatment of complex macromolecules, forever beyond the grasp of modern scientific endeavor.
We fail to normalize a wavefunction when we fail to encompass within the normalization integral
the total space occupied by this wavefunction. This should be expected when internal spaces
(with their respective internal degrees of freedom) contain bleed over of the wave function (c.f.,
QM tunneling) and these internal spaces are found to be essentially asymmetrical. In such case
the internal degrees of freedom of the space support and necessitate irreversible reaction with
coupled symmetrical component space degeneracys) though the fundamentally irreversible
interactions home to the internal space and its degrees of freedom.

The asymmetrical component subspaces of the total system space would be occupied by a system
describable only by an aperiodic, or anharmonic, wavefunction. The energy uncertainty of such
a system, in terms of the associated frequency spectrum for the component energies of this
uncertainty, would have to be fundamentally different from that of a normalizable QM system, i.e.,
from that possessing a normalizable wavefunction. We may have now been led to the making of
a distinction here between what we may term active versus passive information. How far if at all
this distinction parallels that of the same name defined and discussed by Bohm, c.f., The Implicate
Order, remains to be investigated.

The represented by prophecy is conceived by those who are somewhat more sensitively attuned to
historical inevitability of consciousness working out of itself. Prophecy has a way of pulling
itself up by its own bootstraps and manifesting the realization of its assertions by any stretching
reach available enabled by historical particulars that emerge wholly unexpectedly but which are
then grasped and woven into the very fabric of the prophecys system of archetypal elements.

I sometimes feel as though I am living in the shadow of some great, disruptive and disillusioning
realization perhaps only to be actually encountered many years or even decades later.

Churches are houses of spiritual complacency, the real purpose of which is the Devils whereby
Christians are kept off the streets where they might do the most good. Nobody really believes in
their actual salvation, nor do they really believe that the unsaved are in any serious spiritual
danger. At least this is the conclusion to which the impartial observer of Christian peoples must
be led by the simplest of logic to presume. For otherwise wouldnt all Christians be alternating
between dancing and shouting jubilantly over the fact of their own salvation, and miserably
weeping over the fate of the lost already departed from this world, on the one hand, and launched
into tireless and impassioned efforts on the behalf of those unsaved yet alive, who still possess the
hope of heaven and the escaping of eternal hellfire?

The average spacetime curvature at a point on spacetime is dependent upon the average density of
momentum-energy at this point. For this reason it is presumed that the magnitude of the density
of fluctuations in momentum-energy at a certain a point on spacetime is not merely correlated with
but causally connected with the magnitude of spacetime fluctuations at that particular point on this
very same spacetime. But how can the stated notion of fluctuations of spacetime and hence,
uncertainty in spacetime position be located at a particular point on spacetime? There is here a
seeming paradox of infinitely self-referential spacetime.
One conception of grace is that which preserves one while ones situation is unstable and
precarious, admitting little if any margin for error. Another concept of grace is that of intrinsic
robustness or what might otherwise be termed antichaos. There is so much room for the
fulfillment of basic possibilities and potentialities within such a wide range of life style boundary
conditions that there is little need to think too long and hard about how to optimally engineer them,
apart from the following and application of a mere handful of simple a basic values and principles.
Many happy and unassuming (and successful) people seem to have always instinctively
understand this though, perhaps without having ever once articulated this to themselves.
We cannot argue each individuals concept of consciousnes is abstracted from its multiple
instantiation over time.
(<T violation in K mesons>, c.f., CPT theorem.)
We can entertain the projection of multiple instantiations of a given concept through a kind of
metaphorical multiple recasting of our direct intuitions of a being into multiply distinct and varied
forms and then proceed to abstract from this set of differences of our own fashioning. This act is
linguistically determined in a manner such that inconsistencies between different individuals
projected concepts/categories are glossed over, or if uncovered can be easily enough
repaired/amended through a dialectic of negotiation of meaning and reference, say through
erecting of a larger category subsuming these differences as being within the new category.
In contemplating the fond well-wishing for another from whom one is to be forever separated does
one glimpse the Dasein of Providence.
We cannot like a hypothesis without at least secretly to ourselves assenting to a kernel of truth in it.
Relating Aristotles Metaphysics to Modern Physics:

A system may either be identified with one of a set of eigenfunctions, exist between, or encompass
the set.

Coherence and cohesiveness would seem to require superposition of correlated or partially
nonorthogonal eigenfunctions. This may relate to why eigenfunctions cannot be strictly
orthogonal in the presence of a gravitational field.

Since each individuals ideas are tinged with the acceptation of his novel application of them
within the context of the history of his own experience that is necessarily, in part, unique to
himself, it follows that what is insight for one is for another in some cases hard won empirical
knowledge, in other cases, for another piecemeal-fashioned induction or deduction, and so a given
idea is known intimately as intuition by one and for another only through metaphor.
October 2011
It is
playfully said that, we only trust the law of induction because it has worked so well in the past.
However, we did not first trust the use of induction for this reason.
@$
Induction is likely a
subcategory of the larger category of self similarity or recursiveness.

This is just a particular symptom of the general fact that one knows the other by analogy, all the
while knowing the self in an unmediated fashion ( if only potentially, as some only know of
themselves as they know their native tongue through listening to those for whom oneself
occupies an analogous position of being). Necrophilia, as the desire for the otherness of the
other. Such people as cannot perceive the otherness within themselves have a sense of
unfreedom, of being unjustly imprisoned and therefore the freedom of the other, particularly in the
others own relative case with and grasping or mastering of their own otherness, is all the more
regrettable, making as it does for much rankling, festering resentment, destined to turn to hatred, if
the tendency cannot be defused and reversed.

Differences of race, class, status, gender even, are attributed as cause for the resentment of the self
for the other under the convenient covering rubric of prejudice, racism, sexism, etc. But this is to
turn a blind eye to the fact that the unseemly emotion of resentment possesses a defining
dimension of the personal, taken personally. Those who hate blacks, Jews, those who are
misogynous and so on have perhaps made a false generalization of what originated at a strictly
personal level. These external differences merely underscore the otherness of the other that is
usually hidden through false or baseless identification of the self with the other, e.g., glorying in
the success of the home town hero when one is far from home, on the one hand, though equally in
turn envying and secretly begrudging this same hero when both he and oneself are once more back
home among common friends and acquaintances. How rapidly does an impending barroom
brawl defuse itself when at closer quarters the prospective combatants at once recognize one
another, despite the typical dim lighting, and this almost regardless of the nature or severity of the
insult or offense, real or imagined, which lie at the root of flaring aggressive impulses.

A nonadiabatic coupling of the brain of an observer to the system as a whole, but to the brain only
in part. Otherwise stated, is the brain far more extensively connected to its defining context than
it is even too itself?
October 2011
What essentially distinguishes matter, i.e., that which possesses
mass from the underlying quantum vacuum field is the independence of matter from this vacuum.
By this is meant the breakdown of the faithful application of Bohms Principle of Causality, more
or less at the matter-vacuum boundary. Note that this boundary is not at the 2-surface interface,
but is rather defined by a 3-surface. The bandwidth connecting matter and its context giving
vacuum carries information on a flux perpendicular to this 3-surface. Decoherence may be
caused by the opposite of this situation, perhaps.That is, decoherence must befall systems that
possess a critical recursiveness or self connectivity relative to the quantum context of the system,
i.e., embedding vacuum electromagnetic field. These ruminations lead us to the perhaps bizarre
notion that, the human brain with its distinctive powers of self-consciousness, becomes in at least a
very narrowly defined sense, better connected to the information reservoir of the quantum vacuum
electromagnetic field than this information is connected to itself. This points up one of the
important functions of the brain, that of reprocessing information latent in the vacuum through
effecting higher levels of integration of this information. So-called higher levels of integration
here seem to bespeak the possibility of a concept of contexts of the ground of being.

Suppose that the individual consciousnes of A is just the outcome of the quantum vacuums
continual, ongoing reaction to the presence/activity of the individuals brain that is embedded
within it. Similar observations apply to Bs consciousness, Cs, etc.
July 2011
In this way the
consciousness of each involves its own unique spectrum of context-providing bed or correlated
quantum fluctuations. No cross-talk between brains is to be expected (what would manifest
itself during the course of evolution as telepathy) Since the constructs of the individual self and
external world (including postulated other minds) which arise within the consciousness of the
individual are to be attributed to the creation of entanglements due to the historical operation of
that individuals brain, these are separate from those quantum correlations continually recreated in
the field of the vacuums fundamental fluctuations (that comprise any reductions in /\Q
Heisenberg uncertainty in Q) to which the brains of others tune and resonate, and so it is a
distinctly different and disjoint spectrum of the vacuum electromagnetic field which is continually
tweaked by the operation of one brain from that of another.

A paradoxical observation is the following: I feel so different within my being than I did when I
was a teenager that if it werent for the continuity of my environment, social relations, my own
physical appearance, together with memory, I could swear that Im now an altogether different
person now from what I was then. But, of course, the attributes enumerated above are just the
ones apart from identity dependent upon the subsistence of unique substance.

The urge torward mystical union with the other is diametrically opposite to the necrophiles desire
to penetrate the mystery of the other. Of course, mystery, by its essential nature, once so
penetrated, ceases to be. The necrophiles being is driven by the impulse to reveal all mystery as
a mere tissue of lies and illusion.
July 2011
It would not surprise me if necrophilia were not someday
proven to be (or shall eventually come to be commonly understood as) a mere Freudian
reaction-formation in reponse to an extraordinarily great fear of death relative to the already
extraordinary fear of death which is in humans instinctive and inborn.

Along similar lines to our arguments that consciousness cannot be manifested or be a property of
closed, isolated systems, it may be possible also to argue that a system without consciousness, or at
least in interaction with (the observation of) consciousness cannot possess temporality of the kind
which can produce novel systems or structures.
July 2011
Consciousness does seem to be the only
means for process as a whole to be referred back to its fundamental components so that there is
awareness and a bridge between being and becoming, while attention is a focusing of this
consciousness.

Such a system would only posses the deterministic temporality normally associated with classical
physics and/or the time independent Schroedinger equation, i.e., temporality of spatialized time.
If it is true that the Universe was utterly devoid of consciousness and conscious states prior to
some critical point in its deterministic evolution, such that it must have possessed a static,
4-dimensional spatial structure (in general relativity, there is no global distinction between space
and time such a distinction of space from time is local and observer-dependent) between two
nodes, that of the Big Bang and the other of the awakening of the first glimmer of consciousness
within it. But why not rather suppose that the right-hand node, if you will, does not represent
some critical threshold having been passed by some slowly and gradually developing mentality
dragging itself up from some primordial slime, but rather this node of timeless spacetime
opposite to that of the precipitous Big Bang was itself equally precipitous, namely, constituted
by the act of intervention (say, perhaps through mere observation, in the quantum mechanical
sense) by a fully and completely developed consciousness.

September 2011
If consciousness collapses the wavefunction, then the level of development of the
consciousness involved must be of some importance to the level of complexity of systems, which
manifest as expression/outcome of this collapse.

If we suppose that no perfect consciousness exists, but nonetheless admit the notion of there
perhaps being some such, say, as a result of furthering of the evolution of mind over succeeding
millions of years, then there must be some principle of order (itself essentially timeless and
complete) that itself already exists by which this future development of a perfect consciousness
shall be fulfilled. But perhaps what we meant to speak of here was not the future evolution of
consciousness into a perfected state, but instead the future evolution of mind into such a final state.
Here mind would simply be a structure of consciousness and the principle of order that we have
said must already exist and by which the future perfected development of consciousness (here read
mind) is just that of consciousness itself as such. Every possible structure which consciousness
can take on is already implicit within it.

The establishment of a common language with which even merely denotative communication is to
be pursued, must first be preceded by the establishment of a common reference. In this way it
appears that connotation must precede denotation, i.e., metaphor must first be utilized to establish
the common reference for later denotative communication.

Jesus said that if a man had but a mustard seed of faith he could command mountains to hurl
themselves into the sea. It is likely that mustard seed of is to be interpreted as a minimum or
least bit of.
january 2003 Perhaps
a better interpretation here is that of kernel (and there is likely
some special characteristics of a mustard seed which set it apart from the seeds of other plants in
serving Jesus metaphorical purpose).

By asserting, categorically, that existence is not a predicate, one is implicitly assuming that
@$
the notion of degrees or grades of existence is a meaningless or incoherent one and, moreover,
that the term existence refers to the totality of being, rather than to some property, condition, or
quality of being, conceived either as a one or a many.

The development of relative otherness occurs in parallel with the growth of the self. At some
earliest stage, the chain of reference (of meanings) terminates with that which refers to no
phenomena whatever, e.g., natural languages, perceptions, sensations, etc.

In the building up of ever more complex and coherent biological systems, the process of evolution,
rejects not alternative sets of possibilities for life each of which comprised in turn of some
corresponding sum of isolated, disconnected possibles. To the contrary, each of these rejected
possibilities for life are equally viable in terms of a combination (or sum) of the dual properties,
adaptable + coherent/cohesive thought, of course, the relative proportion of each of these two
properties with respect toward the other is less fit and responsive to the particular prevailing set of
environmental conditions from which it has been excluded by natural selection and in favor of
what happened to have replaced it by more successfully surviving. So the various forms failing
to survive and which are excluded from evolutions path possess no less fitness relative to some
other possible though not actual environment and both the fitness of that which survives along with
that which perishes must be explained by some altogether different means than through the
invoking of a principle of natural selection.

Only by linking to transcendent consciousness, say during prayer, meditation, or psychedelic drug
experience, of which ones own as well that of each other person, is but a peculiar instantiation,
does one gain access to the knowledge of the suchnes of ones individual consciousness, i.e., of
ones consciousness as an example, among an infinite number of possible examples, of
consciousness as such (consciousness at large, if you will).

Might this experiecne be considered the glimpsing of ones consciousness as the ground of all
experience always possible to the individual in the vein of this ground itself as figure? This
context of the individuals consciousness as the medium of all possible experience would
necessarily be the grasping of space and time in its unified totality of givenness. It would then be
a glimpse by the individual of his own eternal and absolute being. This is all because time is
only within experience, founded in the ground of all possible experience which itself, therefore,
has to transcend time. Time is always within the timeless, in other words.

Paul may be described as a gnostic Christian because his doctrines as set forth in his epistles to the
early churches of the Near East were revealed to him after the death and Resurrection of Christ.

When God first became man in the form of Adam. He forgot and lost his sense of his original
self and fell from grace, taking all succeeding Mankind with him. So perhaps a large part of the
motive of Christs sacrifice is the recreating of this original incarnation successfully and then the
repayment in the form of sacrifice on the Cross for the bringing of Sin into Creation. But this
great feat could only be achieved by reincarnating as originally in the very absence of this sin
infecting all Creation.

A consequence of Sin, rather than having been the engendering cause of Sin, is mans blindness to
his own divine nature and therefore in turn his blindness to the nature of the Divine as such.

The giving up of the responsibilities while retaining the freedoms, the shunning of obligations,
while holding fast to the rights of Godhood this lies at the core of the nature of Sin.

The question concerning the true nature of consciousness, when properly asked, would be its own
answer simply upon simple removal of ? at its end and it s replacement by a ., that is, by a
period. This question should be posed in its simplest conceivable form as, namely, what is
consciousness? such that the answer to this question then becomes, What is consciousness. So
the answer to this question, What is consciousness may still more succinctly be put . . .
Exactly, or Yes or Affirmative.

Consciousness itself is the answer to the question, What is consciousness? The essential
nature of consciousness is its own answering to itself of the question it asks of itself, more properly
stated as Who am I? I am who or . . . Who? I am! The answer, far from being Douglas
Adams 42 is I.

But we reject this as the answer and seek another. It is like trying to find the answer to What is 2
+ 2? Rejecting the obvious suggestion of 4 and going onto an endless pursuit for some more
suitable solution to 2 + 2 =?

Consciousness is the medium through which all questions might be asked whereby the answer to
whatever the particular question may be is only not already understood by virtue of some a
posterior limitation of said consciousness. Clearly, once all such particular limitations upon
consciousness are removed, only one question remains which is answere3d just at that precise
point that the last limitation upon consciousness has been removed. And so at just this point is
the question what is pure consciousness (i.e., what is consciousness as such) able to be properly
formulated and which at once is seen to contain or be coextensive with, rather, this questions
proper answer. What is Pure Consciousness? Pure consciousness is What. We might
playfully symbolize this What or W-hat as W^, borrowing the ^ notation from quantum
theory. W^ we might equally playfully term the pure consciousness operator. So that W^ Psi =
W or, if Psi is not a pure state, but a superposition state, W^ Psi = w
i
.

The question then arises, how are we to interpret W^ Psi when Psi is a statistical mixture?

The answer to the question what is consciousness only seems to admit of a complex answer
because we falsely identify consciousness as such with the ego (secretly with our own ego) while
all along overtly and in an intellectualized manner identify consciousness as prior to and
transcending though also ultimately the ground of all form whatever. Any answer that would
satisfy us qua answer must, like the answers to all other questions with which weve had
experience, possess some kind of logical and/or semantic structure, although anything, necessarily
possessing structure as do all logical or semantic entities, must be presupposed by such structures.

Each pure state is a superposition state with respect to some other, incompatible observable.

But W^ commutes with itself and all other w
I
, but the w
I
do not mutually commute, that is, w
j
Phi
I

where Phi
I
is an eigenstate of w
I
^, is necessarily a superposition state in terms of the Phi
j
s. In
other words, W^ does not interfere with the actions of the w^
I
, w^
j
, w^
k
, etc.

Metaphor shows the extension of the scope and reference of a concept, but is not itself a concept.
Coining a new metaphor may result in the founding of some altogether new concept.

The purpose of this amazingly dense field of Karma is for us to have and sharpen our humility, for
once weve acquired perfect humility our character has finally been properly formed and we are
now free to do anything we want while still remaining smack in the middle in the Will of God.

We seek a representation of consciousness within consciousness. Arguably, the individuals
own, unique consciousness qua individual consciousness is just such a representation of pure
consciousness or consciousness as such, i.e., impersonal consciousness.
This may in fact be the meaning of the individual being made in the image of God his personal
consciousness is a representation within Gods consciousness. Alternatively, the individual
consciousness may be its own representation, which lies behind the inherent recursiveness of the
individuals consciousness. And the concept of consciousness as such is a deduction of that
within which the individuals consciousness is a representation, identified with the other. The
question arises here as to whether the otherness of all selves refers to a single being.

To properly and meaningfully communicate, the Other must be recognized within the Self as the
Self is within the Other.

Is there a unity of that which makes any and all others other, that is, relative to me? And is it this
unity that points up the reality of the Other, i.e., God, but therefore, of a God wholly unique to
myself and hence permitting a unique I and Thou relationship (in Bubers sense)? Might we
term the guiding principle here the Anthropic Microcosmological Principle?

So if everything that can become the subject of knowledge or of our knowing must be a
manifestation within (or constructed from manifestations within) consciousness, then could
consciousness itself ever be a subject of knowledge or stated another way, how could
consciousness be found to be itself a manifestation of some subset of what can be manifested
within it, and which refers at the same time to something altogether outside of its possible scope
(i.e., reference)?

Particles and antiparticles possess opposite signed quantum numbers.

We are interested when constructing a system of morality and ethics of defining persons so that
they are 1) absolutely distinct from one another so that the respect demanded by the alterity of the
Other is maximal and 2) irreducible in their essence to features or elements held in common,
potentially or actually, between distinct persons. In this way, each person is most conceived as
being 1) Other and 2) an end in himself.

That which does not possess being does not possess ultimate reality and that which does not
possess being if only in a derivative sense (say, through intersubjective cooperation) cannot
possess the qualified being we term existence.

What defines the so-called normal, unassuming person is unreserved participation in local beliefs
and customs in the absence of any insight into the underlying archetype or paradigm infusing
them, and in addition a virtually complete lack of awareness of the necessity of some underlying
deeper meaning attached to the local cultural and religious forms/ tropes in which he regularly
participates.

Consider the reexpression of opposites, which have been transcended by their prior unification.


Religious symbols and images that are metaphors for the divine presence arise, as
au=
Jung has
forcefully demonstrated, through the action of the collective unconscious through the action of the
collective unconscious, though perhaps, to follow Jaynes, this process had been well under way
long before primitive Man acquired an individual consciousness in the sense of a
self-consciousness. The dense array of religious symbols which surrounded human beings
during this preantiquity would have presented a flowing gestalt of protoconscious meaning much
as does the imagery confronting a modern human being in midst of a dream sleep.

In the same way that the dreamer may awake and attain lucidity within the artificial world of these
enveloping dream images, a growing fraction of individuals, one by one, awoke to a sense of their
own individuality, acquiring at once a dim recognition of the arbitrary nature of the symbols along
with the intimate connection of these symbols to their own new found identity, as well as insights
into how these symbols might be manipulated and transformed to reveal their metaphorical
reference. Their literal reference is to the metaphoricity of the self. The principle mystical
insight is that each incarnate self is local metaphor for one and the same transcendental (literal)
self.

Just imagine going back merely five or ten years and switching the outcome of one major decision
point, say to marry someone from whom ones way has long since departed. The effect of this
may well be predictable, in general outline at least. This predictability must, we think, be
altogether absent where enough of the decision points, early enough throughout our biography are
arbitrarily switched or reversed.

But we can equally well oppose to this the argument based upon the notion of character being
ones fate. Though we may perhaps also reconcile the two views by distinguishing the large
number of smaller (though at the time seemingly significant) decisions from those larger and
actually more significant ones by which our character had acquired some of its more important and
life long features.

The nave notion of artistic expression, particularly in the sphere of literature, is that of the artist
searching for some particularly apt modes, techniques, and metaphors for manifesting or getting to
the outside some profound pet idea that he has long carried around deep within himself and with
which to gift less sensitive and enlightened souls.

But another view is that of the artist being only the apprentice who, though highly skilled in the use
of the tools and techniques for fashioning the works dictated by his master, at any given stage in
the physical construction of the art work, possesses only a half-baked notion as to what his master
ultimately intends in dictating it.

We may only speak of insights being latent if the person carrying them around fails to realize them
merely for lack of the advantageous conditions in which the efficient cause or causes are sufficient
to trigger their coalescence/crystallization.

It might turn out that upon heavenly reflection our erstwhile mortal existence will be understood as
one in which the answer to absolutely every conceivable metaphysical question was along known
to us and that it was really only the fact of our having been all along in possession of this
metaphysical knowledge that forever as mortals.

How the pupil of the critical eye of most people dilates upon learning some work already placed
before them is said to be important.

The individual sees all around himself the order that was necessary to permit just the particular
consciousness that he is to come into being. One of the outstanding features of this order,
necessary for this individuals consciousness, is the presence of a chain of being, i.e., a
vertical-ordering or depth-ordering of being. Another is what we may aptly term a horizontal
ordering or breadth-ordering of being these two types of ordering are simply the highly specific
and particular versions of the corresponding Kantian forms (of intuition) of Time and Space.
The time-ordering represented by evolution and the space-ordering represented by the particular
complexion of present by extant individuals belong to the human race ( through which one entered
space and time) these two orderings are simply those that were required to be in entered space
and time, to have taken up this most basic of limitations of my transcendent being. We are
speaking here of the particulars of the Anthropic Microcosmological Principle. But this is to
view the entire world as merely providing scaffolding for the construction of ones individual self.



States of conscious awareness point up the lack of indifference of Being to the passage of time.
It points up the registration of the human and cosmic data storage system, if you will, and
represents the engendering of altogether new information within the Real. Novelty and
irreversibility essentially characterize conscious experience.

If there is any important lesson for metaphysics to be derived from a contemplative study of
quantum theory it is this: possibility is not fixed, but is always a function of the imposed
boundary conditions (upon the vacuum quantum field, ultimately) and these are subject to change.
Note here, however, that the existence of boundary conditions presupposes a spacetime written
which such conditions are to be definable.

One knows one is conscious not by noticing it as being an attribute or quality of every particular
manifest within conscious experience. For how could one note the positive presence of that
which is everywhere and always given and never within (conscious) experience absent. It is not
by virtue of some sort of contrast that ones consciousness is apprehended, if it is apprehended at
all, that is. Consciousness in other words is never within experience but experience is present
within consciousness. Another view here is that consciousness is known through abstraction
from its occurrence in varying degrees.

The existence of a form or thing is simply its groundedness in the indeterminate that originally
brought it into being. Existence is the principle of a things sustainment as such within space and
time. Being on the other hand is principle of order through which the dynamics of this
sustainment compensates for the contingency represented by the extraneous component of
grounds fluxion. Pure possibility is timeless and context-free.

Existence is a predicated of the merely possible in which the heretofore merely possible acquires
possibilities of its own. The possible becomes a subject of change leading to the creation of new
never-before-existing possibilities (along with the retireing. If this line of thinking lead us to
the reversing of the relationship of the possible to the actual so that possibilities became merely the
abstraction from the real (pure empiricism a la Hume), rather than the real being a manifesting of
the possible, then we should not have succeeded in this way in showing that existence is (or can be)
a predicate. However, if possibilities can be engendered independently from the mere
abstraction from experience, i.e., sense impressions, and in this manner, the totality of the possible
augmented, then existence must be capable of being a predicate. So in this way it is seen that the
minds ability to conceive that which is neither (presently) real nor possible is essential to the
possibility of existence being a predicate.

The predication of existence is therefore responsible for (or the outcome of) the temporality of
Mind. Consider the temporality of possibility as well as the temporality of Mind outside of time
(intersubjective time).

Anselms Ontological Argument depends upon, among other assumptions, the self-contradictory
nature of the notion of a being greater than which none greater can be conceived. But this
assumption is only valid if consciousness can keep pace with (so to speak) the potential complexity
of which being can exist that is greater than that than which no greater can be conceived by
consciousness as such most generally speaking.

As evidenced by the difficulties in functioning demonstrated by the Schizophrenic, coherence and
consistency of the emotions, will, intellect, whatever faculty of consciousness require the
exclusion of certain disruptive elements that would disseminate and subvert the unity of the system
of the faculty concerned. Rationality subserves value as science subserves art.

Perhaps the uproar of moral outrage on the part of Christian groups for example over the new
techniques, practices and products resulting from the heady progress of the new biotechnology is
all too transparent in how it is motivated out of these groups shared premises and assumptions.
That there is a similar degree of outrage over the potential implications of the new science of
biotechnology, expressed by agnostics and secular humanists alike, is on the face of it perhaps a
little puzzling to one describing himself as a philosophical theist. For here we have a seeming
agreement on a major social issue between camps with radically different ends in view.

Prophecy is historical interpretation in reverse. It might be worthwhile or merely intellectually
intriguing to work out the theory of how this might be the case.

The dream space if only at its most deeply symbolic level represents a kind of temporal slipstream
(of subterranean currents) through which ones entire biography is connected, bidirectionally.

Dreams, in other words, interpret both the past and future moments within a persons life, a life
that has in essence already been lived from cradle to grave. This is the sense in which the
proverb that character determines fate holds true. This is true for relationships as well, only here
fate subsumes a much wider and complex variety of possible means of willing itself out (for the
relationship of the two people concerned).

One possesses almost unlimited freedom in principle in how he works out his fate to prove it in the
end all along true. The proportion of good to ill that is fixed within ones character may be
altered through self-knowledge in its outward manifestation in ones life. This is done when one
applies this self-knowledge in the tempting of good temptations and the shunning of bad
temptations, stated quite simply. One caters to what are ones real strengths and conceals from
view what are ones real weaknesses, limiting the scope of their aggravation and expression.
The ego is the experience of the collective consciousness as delimited within the selfs unique
point of view.

Can the particularity of the metaphorical be refined away leaving in its place pure concept distinct
from other concepts? This is very much akin to the removal of all of the scaffolding from the
building that once were necessary for its construction but which are not realized to be superfluous.

How could things valuable only for their own sake, that is, mere ends in themselves, arise from out
of a system composed solely of means to other means, in an endless recursive labyrinth?

Clearly the 2
32
(approximately) bits of information contained within the human genome are
insufficient to code for the complexity of structure and function of the human organism.
However, a quantity of information approaching 2
(2**32)
bits may well be adequate for this. In
this case we are supposing that some relatively small portion of the DNA addresses the details of
local DNA functioning, say, e.g., protein synthesis, regulation of enzyme concentrations, etc.,
while

*********************************************
06-02-01***************************************
June 2001
The largest share of these 2
(2**32)
bits are for addressing the dynamical ground in which the
functioning of the organism is embedded. For the information contianed within the DNA to
remain current, the molecule must remain in contact and communication with its dynamical
ground.

That which is experiencing my life is itself eternal and transcendent and is not itself in any real
danger. It doesnt wish to lose its ego, its spatiotemporal image of itself for if this occurs it can
always create for itself another one.

Information is never contained in or by structure or form alone. Information may however be
accessed by a given form or structure provided that this structure is properly connected to some
dynamical (as opposed to kinematic or mechanical) ground.

The notion that human individuality is but an illusion presupposes the notion of an individuality
that is real as opposed to illusory. The notion of illusory individuality surely then begs the
question, what would it mean for a being to possess real individuality.

This is akin to the self-undermining assertion that the totality f life is merely a dream, which begs
the question what would it mean to live within reality as opposed to dream, to awake from this
heretofore lifelong reverie? Although form arises from formlessness, the reverse of this cannot
be the case and so pure consciousness, if it exists must be sustained from some source transcending
the Universe as Form. To create ex nihilo is to create both form and formlessness.

The precision with which the design of a conscious computer is specified in the very totality of the
design, that is, will turn out to be the very thing that prevents the computers (or robots, for that
matter) brain from being open to influences the nature of which could not possibly have been
anticipated in the design, based as it is merely upon the physical science possessed by its designers
during the stage of the completion of this design. We should expect that a truly conscious
computer would be in a position, as is a gifted scientist, of extending scientific knowledge beyond
that of those scientists who authored the design of its brain.

So to be conscious then, a computers design must permit it to utilize certain as yet indeterminate
components of the unknown to render determinate certain other, if not those very same,
components.

Perhaps the reason consciousness cannot be objectivity defined is that a consciousness is not of
the nature of an object that is, an essentially abstract entity an entity abstracted from some
concrete and indeterminate ground. IN fact, the objective is perhaps itself defined in terms of the
intersubjective, i.e., not only does the objective presupose subjectivity in the singular but does so,
still more, in the plural. Moreover, it appears that consciousness itself might be, after all, the
best candidate for an indeterminate ground out of which entityes are abstracted so as to represent
(create) objects. But again this determination of consciousness may only be possible where tow
or more consciousnesses act in concert with one another, apart from, perhaps the determinations of
space and time (nexus for all further cooperation between consciousness).

The objective properties of consciousness are not intrinsic to it, but are intersubjective and
linguistically mediated and structured forms of an within consciousness.

The problem with functionalism is its abstraction of al functions relevant to the production of all
functions of consciousness from the peculiar nature of any given medium in which these relevant
functions might be realized (instantiated). And so in functionalism, the distinctly different ways
in which distinct media couple to the outside (i.e., the unknown realm) are excluded as irrelevant
thusly, the functionalist theory of mind is one that in essence treats the brain as a closed system
where the functionality of the brain (or any analogous system in which mental functions are
instantiated, for that matter) for the production and modulation of states of conscious awareness
are concerned that is.

Consciousness objective being is internal to itself. This is why that Ourobouros, the ancient
Egyptian symbol of consciousness is so appropriate.

In the same way that pure, white light combines harmoniously all of the colors of the rainbow, so
does pure consciousness combine within itself all possible experiences. It does this with perfect
and peaceful harmony.

What then is the reason for the necessity of a plurality of pure consciousness? None whatever if
each of these is considered as stemming from some originary pure consciousness. Each of these
individual and distinct pure consciousnesses, resulting in the way that presumably must have from
this originary (super) consciousness, are already differentiations of this primary (pure)
consciousness. And so then how can each of these be supposed to be also pure. What
possible basis could there be for differentiating one of these pure consciousness from another
when each is assumed to be independent of space and time? There must then be some principle
contra Schopenhauer, c.f., Will and Representation, of differentiation, that is, independent of space
and time.

There are, of course, an innumerable number of Buddhas - those who have awakened to the fact
of their individuality having been an illusion.

Nonexistence is just as much a manifestation of being (of what is) as is Existence. Things arise
from other things from within the Void, that is, from elsewhere then from within space and time.

If the present moment ever became fully determinate and crystallized, there would be no means for
it to advance in time or for anything within this moment to advance. Such is analogously the
case with a quantum system in an energy eigenstate (one that is non-degenerate).

Rather than accepting the duality of literal and metaphorical as real, we might suppose that
liternalness is an abstraction from various degrees of metaphoricity.

Tertium Datur ~ relate this term to the Buddhist doctrine of the Middle Way.

Consciousness may be understood as an awareness of the causal, logical, and analogical
interrelationships of states of experience.

The state of being at one level is the experience of the self in a way that would be recognized as
metaphorical by this same self when occupying some higher, more developed state of being. We
can apply this idea to Gods message to humankind in the form of His Divine Word. This should
be particularly so when it comes to the Bibles descriptions of Heaven and Hell.

The component of the indeterminate which never gets caught up in acts of determination is that
component constituting the eternal now.

The seed in sprouting adds to its body by enlisting, colonizing and then subverting larger and
larger quantities of material stuff that itself acquiring this same ability to incorporate and subvert
other wise seemingly inert substance.

Life is a game versus a metaphysical work.

The self is illusory versus eternal and transcendent.

Changes in consciousness are thought to take place only at a certain level of depth within this
consciousness.

Synesthesia and presence, e.g., scenes in movies and scene action music, etc. But conditioning
can show that the boundaries between the modalities of sense are not fundamental, e.g., Ton und
Bild sind fuer mich gleich weil sie alle aus dataimpulsen bestehen, c.f., Revolte auf Luna,
hoerspiel, vol. 4 (Robert Heinlein)

Plural Brahman: each Atman is its own, unique Brahman rather than each being derived from the
same Brahman.

Immanence is not through simple negation taking place within a single transcendent being, i.e.,
unique Brahman.

If consciousnes is associated with some total energy that is a function of both p^ and x^, then
clearly this consciousness can never rest.

Everything is impermanent except the subject of impermanence.

If the individuals consciousness is a particular form rather than being a ground or substance in its
own right, then ones consciousness is actually but a state of consciousness of some being higher
than the self so that it is this being that is conscious not ones self or ego this only being
conscious through the consciousness of that other being.
This is indeed what follows from presuming that one possesses a concept of consciousness. One
canot both be conscious and posess a concept of consciousness. Only a being possessing
multiple states of consciousness within another all-embracing state of consciousness can possess a
concept of (these lower states of) consciousness.

Or perhaps we may develop a concept of former (states of consciousness) that we have grown
beyond or transcended.

Are higher states of consciousness necessarily illusory because simply more complex or
coherent structures/structurings of the same underlying consciousness?

Gods are bound to the wheel with chains of gold, but they had no need to develop Buddhism.
The gods value happiness more than truth, the Buddhist truth more than happiness. The gods
know that truth transcends the ego, that is, the necessary subject of knowledge. So the ego can
only grasp knowledge about the truth that transcends ego. Purpose of becoming embodied is
recreation rather than acquiring the knowledge that transcends transcendence. Transcending
enlightenment by entering space and time and becoming embodied as a kind of reverse
enlightenment a kind of anti-Buddhism. The object of which is to leave their transcendent
selves and experience finitude.

Distinguish the temporal now (becoming determined) from the eternal now (being of the
indeterminate). The indeterminate does not literally exist though it certainly affects existence.
Being as such cannot be an act of determination since only particular beings act.

Liberation from the repetitive reenactment of ones conflicted, formative past to fix the past or
to attempt to glimpse the past from all its myriad facets in light of superior knowledge and wisdom.
To glimpse an abstract principle behind the others hurtful actions so as to deconstruct them into
harmlessness and laughableness.

One paradoxical attribute of the Christian God is the notion of God being beyond space and time,
i.e., transcendent, while at the same time personal. There is a similar (though reverse)
contradiction concerning the notion of the self in Hindu and Buddhist thought the soul as the
persistent bed of individuality is thought to be wholly illusory and yet both these faiths speak of
reincarnation and the wheel of life.

Because the transcendent cannot become immanent, i.e., dwelling within the world (of space and
time) through an act of negation, it follows that the return is a metaphorical and dialectical process
in which genuinely new possibilities are engendered for transcendence.

What can possibly stand in the background of consciousness by which it could appear to one?

Why is there something rather than nothing? Well, there is nothing too theres both something
and nothing.

There are two fundamentally different approaches to explaining the origin of consciousness from
the functioning of the brain from the inside, that is, from ones own case, versus from the
outside. But there should be just as many outsides to this description as there are insides.
But only the plurality of the external points of view appear amenable to being unified. One
theory is that the internal is already unified although the plurality of the external seems to belie this
possibility.

So what makes life possible psychologically, that is, is not having this older and more cynical
version of the self, always around criticizing our every freely willed action.

There are myriad examples of the simple misunderstanding in conversation in which one has
misheard another and one is in a position, having heard correctly as a bystander, 3
rd
party, the
utterance of the 1
st
party. Question: for which reason is there so much embarrassment on the part
of the 1
st
party as well as sympathetic embarrassment of the 2
nd
party for the 1
st
, upon both
becoming aware that they had been conversing unbeknownst to themselves at cross purposes due a
trivial mishearing of the pronunciation of a single syllable?

Answer: because both parties experience in a precise and concrete way the collapse of the presence
in which all happy conversation is implicitly supposed to be embedded by all concerned. And
essential to this presence, c.f., metaphysical presence in Derrida, is the notion of
communication as involving the transmission of the contents of one mind to that of another. And
so the collapse of presence alluded to in the above scenario is just the sudden realization by all
parties of the actual tenuousness of intersubjective communication, that there was all along no
actual transmission of meanings from one mind to another, just the transmission of signs between
separate minds which each, all alone and always alone interpret subjectively.

The problem with the multiverse presented us by the Many Worlds Interpretation of QM is that by
making each and every of these possible worlds ontologically equivalent to the one that we (or
more properly, the individual observer(s) occupies), the counterfactual that normally occupies the
ground of being is removed, rendering genuine becoming impossible and hence its appearance
illusory. An example of this is found in the covalent bond structure of molecules which depends
upon the superposition of quantum states all being equally present within this universe in order to
sustain the covalent bonds of these molecules that clearly do occupy our (allegedly alternative)
universe.

In the same way that a quantum neural network computer could not be designed so as to be
prefitted to the neural network of ones own brain so as to function seamlessly in conjunction with
it resulting in expansion in the number and complexity of forms out of which ones consciousness
can be potentially structured, but must be trained over an extended period of trial and error
interaction with ones original neural network (brain) in order to function together with it
seamlessly,
@$
so was it not possible for ones brain to engender states of ones own consciousness
ab initio in the absence of a similar train-up period. A feedback process was at first necessary
for a time before ones brain could then later become the neural mechanism by which ones
consciousness could become (at first selected) and then structured. The fetus or infants brain had
to at some point become an open system in the necessary relevant sense prior to its later
functioning having become a feedback mechanism for the dynamic structuring of ones own
consciousness.

To provide an explanation for somethings coming to be what it distinctively is (as opposed to
uniquely, except perhaps in terms of associated phenomenological effects attributed to it)
description for that thing in such a manner that the elements of ones explanation may be properly
related to the various elements of the description. Instead of elements here, we might in certain
cases substitute properties or attributes.

But a substance cannot be explicated in terms of its accidents, as a moments reflection upon the
more literal acceptation of the word, accident reveals.



. . . the largest share of these 2
(2**32)
bits are for addressing the dynamical ground in which the
functioning of the organism is embedded. For the information contained within the DNA to
remain current, the molecule must remain in contact and communication with its dynamical
ground.

That which is experiencing my life is itself eternal and transcendent and is not itself in any real
danger. It doesnt wish to lose its ego, its spatiotemporal image of itself for if this occurs it can
always create for itself another one.

Information is never contained in or by structure or form alone. Information may however be
accessed by a given form or structure provided that this structure is properly connected to some
dynamical (as opposed to kinematic or mechanical) ground.

The notion that human individuality is but an illusion presupposes the notion of an individuality
that is real as opposed to illusory. The notion of illusory individuality surely then begs the
question, what would it mean for a being to possess real individuality.

This is akin to the self-undermining assertion that the totality of life is merely a dream, which begs
the question what would it mean to live within reality as opposed to dream, to awake from this
heretofore lifelong reverie? Although form arises from formlessness, the reverse of this cannot
be the case and so pure consciousness, if it exists must be sustained from some source transcending
the Universe as Form. To create ex nihilo is to create both form and formlessness.

The precision with which the design of a conscious computer is specified in the very totality of the

Why is there something rather than nothing? Well, there is nothing too theres both something
and nothing.

There are two fundamentally different approaches to explaining the origin of consciousness from
the functioning of the brain from the inside, that is, from ones own case, versus from the
outside. But there should be just as many outsides to this description as there are insides.
But only the plurality of the external points of view appear amenable to being unified. One
theory is that the internal is already unified although the plurality of the external seems to belie this
possibility.

So what makes life possible psychologically, that is, is not having this older and more cynical
version of the self, always around criticizing our every freely willed action.

There are myriad examples of the simple misunderstanding in conversation in which one has
misheard another and one is in a position, having heard correctly as a bystander, 3
rd
party, the
utterance of the 1
st
party. Question: for which reason is there so much embarrassment on the part
of the 1
st
party as well as sympathetic embarrassment of the 2
nd
party for the 1
st
, upon both
becoming aware that they had been conversing unbeknownst to themselves at cross purposes due a
trivial mishearing of the pronunciation of a single syllable?

Answer: because both parties experience in a precise and concrete way the collapse of the presence
in which all happy conversation is implicitly supposed to be embedded by all concerned. And
essential to this presence, c.f., metaphysical presence in Derrida, is the notion of
communication as involving the transmission of the contents of one mind to that of another. And
so the collapse of presence alluded to in the above scenario is just the sudden realization by all
parties of the actual tenuousness of intersubjective communication.

The problem with the multiverse presented us by the Many Worlds Interpretation of QM is that by
making each and every of these possible worlds ontologically equivalent to the one that we (or
more properly, the individual observer(s) occupies), the counterfactual that normally occupies the
ground of being is removed, rendering genuine becoming impossible and hence its appearance
illusory. An example of this is found in the covalent bond structure of molecules which depends
upon the superposition of quantum states all being equally present within this universe in order to
sustain the covalent bonds of these molecules that clearly do occupy our (allegedly alternative)
universe.

In the same way that a quantum neural network computer could not be designed so as to be
prefitted to the neural network of ones own brain so as to function seamlessly in conjunction with
it resulting in expansion in the number and complexity of forms out of which ones consciousness
can be potentially structured, but must be trained over an extended period of trial and error
interaction with ones original neural network (brain) in order to function together with it
seamlessly, so was it not possible for ones brain to engender states of ones own consciousness ab
initio in the absence of a similar train-up period. A feedback process was at first necessary for
a time before ones brain could then later become the neural mechanism by which ones
consciousness could become structured. The fetus or infants brain had to at some point become
an open system in the necessary relevant sense prior to it later functioning having become a
feedback mechanism for the dynamic structuring of ones consciousness.

To provide an explanation for somethings coming to be what it distinctively is (as opposed to
uniquely, except perhaps in terms of associated phenomenological effects attributed to it)
description for that thing in such a manner that the elements of ones explanation may be properly
related to the various elements of the description. Instead of elements here, we might in certain
cases substitute properties or attributes.

But a substance cannot be explicated in terms of its accidents, as a moments reflection upon the
more literal acceptation of the word, accident reveals.



Exilic and Covenantal Religions are derived from the mimetic. Are all of the fundamental
elements of the Christian religion, for instance, virgin birth, incarnation, sacrifice, atonement,
resurrection, ascents into heaven, second comings, end of the world, etc. common to earlier
primitive religions?

Are Gnostic and emanationist religions examples of exilic religion?

Western monotheisms concept of a personal transcendent is seemingly a contradiction in terms.
But so is Eastern mysticisms notion of the infusion of the impersonal transcendent within the
natural order within space and time.

Inflection of concepts as ordered shifts in the application and acceptation of the concepts within
some preestablished system contextualized domains.

Generalizing through the abstracting of notions common to different acceptations or metaphorical
extensions of some denotative term.

The quantum nature of the physical order and the underlying integrative mechanism of
consciousness overlap and can interfere with one another.

Duality implies conflict and disharmony. Fall from the transcendent.

Jesus resurrection may have only been metaphorical, but human existence itself is only
metaphorical for transcendent being.

If these myths were valid in the era of their origin, then they should be able to grow and adapt to
evolving social and cultural context. Living myths that remain coupled to the dynamical ground
of their being through which they may be properly updated through grounds being kept informed
by temporal change.


*********************************061601*************************

The transcendence by Deity of the dual categories of Existence and Nothingness has the result of
reifying Nothingness, at least insofar as rendering it a manifestation of the Absolute. Evil
originates out of the active principle (of order/ordering) of the Nothingness constituted by
(following Barth) all that which God does not will. Heaven may be understood as sacred and
holy community in which intersubjectivity is in harmony by each subjectivity being attributed to
the Divine Will. Hell may be viewed as the total breakdown into chaos of a community that
might have been. It is constituted by all out war between and among myriad totally self-seeking
individuals a cacophony of unfettered wills.
November 2011
The obverse view is that hell is to
remain forever consumed with the self and its vain imagination in the utter absence of the
presencing of the other. Most of freedom is comprised by choices that if adopted set the stage
for further limitation of the small residuum of choices giving freedom its only real worth. There
is indeed a kernel of an argument for the existence of other minds (solution of the other minds
problem of the philosophy of mind) to be found in the pursuit of a deeper analysis of the meaning
of hell as the natural metaphysical outcome of soul-crushing guilt, shame and regret, if not remorse
(in the absence of an otherwise salvatory contrition). Somehow the sole individual and his
limited imaginative resources cannot exactly reproduce the uniquely integrally whole pattern of
entangled sense data that routinely presented themselves for his appraisal throughout the course of
his earthly existence. There is a key element of temporality missing, which is tangibly absent
from the spirit of one in a state of damnation. This reminds us of the role of a missing
grounding biomolecular context that lies behind the persistent failure of animal cloning
experiments.

There is something more important than the most important thing that you presently know about
and of which you will never learn about during this life. This is the beginning of the opening of
ones mind and the setting aside of ones unbeknownst arrogance. Information about this
important thing is potentially available to the individual who has opened his mind. To have
opened ones mind is to have begun a search for the making known that which is within the
Unknown. Because mind is a plurality, the Unknown possesses a structure and is informed,
therefore, by an ordering principle, the nature of which is to sustain the unknown in its state of
being unknown. The plurality of consciousness has being but cannot be known, except to a
transcendental Mind. If the real possesses a representation as Idea, then a transcendent Mind
possesses true being.

Can all fluctuation phenomena be rationalized as perturbations of expectation values. Or is the
stability of expectation values negotiated (through a counterpoising of wills, say) rather than being
just mechanism writ small? The fact of uncertainty possessing an irreducible ontological, as
opposed to merely epistemological component, should have an important bearing on this question.
Contemplate the changeability and reactivity of language as individually implemented that is
owing to a social-collective dynamic.

When most people think of God, they imagine a being that falls within the description of one of a
pair of a potentially myriad number of pairs of dual opposites, e.g., good vs. evil, matter vs.
energy, temporal vs. eternal, existent vs. nonexistent, personal vs. impersonal, etc. But such a
being as is imagined here could not possibly at the same time be the ground of being, that is, that
which that underlies all duality that is a mere manifestation of transcendent Deity.

The wholly other from myself would not be the merely different, c.f., difference within continuity
versus difference without. For all the ways in which this other might be different from myself
could be submitted to a contrast between all of my positive attributes and all its negative. But
this would be a case of another individual being merely relatively different or other, in the sense of
opposite extremes on a scale embodying a scheme of categorization. But the transcendent other
is beyond all categorization in the same way that consciousness as the ground of thought (in
general), cant itself be a thought or embodied in thought or as the ground of experience, cant
itself be an experience or grasped within experience. Only within the transcendent
consciousness of Deity from which we derive our being could consciousness be a thought. And
so if Man has a concept of consciousness rather than merely possessing a metaphor of it, its
because God has given us the gift of this concept. This idea is very much of the same spirit as
Descartes argument that Man couldnt have a notion or idea of God, if God didnt actually exist
theres no where we could have gotten this idea of God and divinity, in the sense of transcendent or
universal divinity, if not from the fact of Gods being having been somehow communicated to
Man through a kind of gracing of his intellect.

Otherness as alternative coherence of consciousness can disseminate and infect one as when on
adopts the voice of the other (small v) which results in a shift in the register of thought over to
the others voice (large v).

Resonance is coherence with the other and coherence is resonance with the self. Inertia then
must be interpreted more broadly as resistance to transformation involving a shift in the relative
strengths of coherence and resonance.

How is it that Man has since the beginning of recorded history, possibly much earlier, spoken with
Gods voice though without ever having heard this voice? What causes us to resist
acknowledging how little sense this makes?

In the same way that the causality lying behind the coherence of matter giving it its integrity is
underlied by the nonlocal connectedness of local resonances within matter, doesnt the coherence
of consciousness that we term Mind dependent upon the resonance of the individual consciousness
with (nonlocal) eternal Mind (which may be a kind of master coherence within transcendent
consciousnes)?

In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. For being
to be with itself is for being to be conscious (being). To articulate this beings being with itself
(Word) is self-consciousness, that is, it is the very beginning of the Self in Time. There is no
beginning without Being in Time. Noting the occurrence of Being within Existence is the
precondition of this being within time which being notes occurrence within self.

In the same way that a series of negations (descriptions in terms of negations, that is) doesnt grasp
or capture the ground of reality from which we draw our being, it follows that our being within the
world is not founded upon negation within any pre-given system of forms and functions, but
possesses an absolute and not merely relative or relativistic positivity about it. We are not
merely existents, but metaphysical entities, and so everything we do mindfully, that is, results in
the exertion of at least some small bit of metaphysical work and by which the realm of Being itself
is enlarged. We are, in other words, if only in but a small way, co-creators with the Deity in the
unfinished and ongoing work of creation. This is quite contrary to the spirit of Schopenhauers
confident assertion that, after your death you will be what you were before your birth.

December 2011
We are, in other words, if only in but a small way, co-creators with the Deity in the
unfinished and ongoing work of creation. In this way, an important and substantive distinction
must be drawn between a genuinely possible hypothetical person and the identity of a person who
lived a life, but whose time has now passed. We must have had a potential to exist, since were are
indeed here, now. But does this imply that one always had the potential to exist? Or must certain
conditions be in place first, before it becomes true to say that a given hypothetical person now has
the potential to exist, whether or not that person ever indeed comes into existence as a matter of
fact. There are many suppressed distinctions being glossed over, equivocations of sense,
entanglements of context and confusion of categories implied by the above paragraph, which
might fruitfully bear further investigation.


Death is not a happening, but a failure of something to happen next, that is, if we are trying to think
of death as something that occurs at a special moment at the end of life. But actually, we are
always in the act of dying as we die along with the passing away of the present moment. It is the
passing away of the present moment without its being replaced in turn by the following moment
we call death from all other moments of ones life.

Death is just failure in the process of rebirth or reconstruction of the old pattern of ones life in the
flesh of the every-renewing flux of energy that is the life of the Universe, that is, of existence, as
opposed to being. Ones being never passes away for it never once passes at all.

Ones being informs ones existence though it does not itself actually wholly embark upon and into
this existence.

The Absolute may be understood as that boundary condition that applies to all possible fluxes and
back-reacting only takes place between the relativistic boundary conditions that exist at various
levels.

We might classify data as intersubjective information and information as subjective data.

Certainly the Internet and the WWW is going to catalyze the cross-fertilization of ideas. And out
of the resulting intensification of metaphoricity will emerge, as out of a kind of distillation process,
the further crystallization of concepts and may even reduce the threshold against the occurrence of
spontaneous intellectual and spiritual insights, making this fundamental and transformative
experience of insight more accessible to the heretofore common man.

One doesnt have to have this dramatic, glamorous or interesting life to be reasonably happy,
which means just being open to the bubbling forth of these brief, episodes of joy or mild elation
that dont have to have any reason de etre in the usual sense of holding out expectation for the
future, say like when as children we go to a restless sleep, looking forward to embarking on the trip
to Disneyland or to Grandmas quaint house in the country, probably already practically
standing-room-only filled with my similarly aged, rough-housing cousins.

And one doesnt have to have this fascinating life because in a very real alternate Universe
somewhere my doppelganger is doing 25 to life for something he did while celebrating too hard on
the night after passing his Harvard Law Bar exam.

But there just arent as many alternate universe out there as there are permutations and
combinations for all of the abstract physical parameters that quantum or particle physics imagines
goes into the complete physical description of a Universe.

There has to be something akin to a quantum degeneracy that somehow escapes the ceteris paribus
principle of Occams razor that accounts for the coherence, cohesiveness, and consistency of this
real Universe, in contradistinction to the projected Universes of abstract parameters juggled by the
quantum mechanical Mixmaster.

I think most of us who really pull our hair out trying to find something to write hit upon the magic
secret weapon of channeling. Thats when the words and phrases, subvocalized in your minds
ear, before youre about to commit them to paper, are in the precise vocal inflection of your
favorite author. But really the secret is to learn to hear the vocal inflection unique to you and
channel that.

The spiritual depth of a person is determined by how much of their lives are spent in preparation
for death. There are others who strongly feel that there is no possible way to prepare for ones
death and so one might as well devote all of ones attention to living ones life.

To these people the preparation for death through spiritual or philosophic study and reflection
represent a mistaken notion of deaths meaning as some event apart from utter and complete
cessation.

There appears to be two basic kinds of negation, one operating within a formal, closed or bound
system this is the usual sense of this term. And then there is the less common, more esoteric
sense of this term in which, unlike in the first sense, the operation of negation is fundamentally
irreversible, i.e., the negation of the negation does not bring us back to some previously defined
state or recapture some preexistent feferent with which we began (prior to the 1
st
negation f the
pair). This second kind of negation cannot be symbolically represented withina pre-given
system of symbols, but only by that which possesses only a subjective interpretation or reference.
Will acts upon ambiguity here, rather than mechanism upon certainty.

In the first case there is identity within a system of differences. In the later, there is absolute
identity. The second kind of negation exhibits the nature of thought (rather than reaction or
impulse).

1 John 3:24 And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. Here I
dwell in Him and He dwells in me. The self as subject (I) dwells in Him, and the self as object
(me) is the place of His indwelling. So here I dwell in me through dwelling in Him as He dwells
in me. Ones body is no longer directly and immediately ensouled, but has now become
ensouled through Him (Jesus Christ). Jesus may be thought of as the 2
nd
person of the Trinity as
object, Christ as this person as subject. Through dwelling in Jesus (His works, i.e., the
Commandments), Christ (grace) dwells in the self. And in this way is the believer ensouled
anew through Jesus (the) Christ. This is to be born again.

Will and (passive) consciousness are not separate but will may be understood as active
consciousness. Although perception is consciousness reacting to the imposition upon itself of
boundary conditions from outside. These boundary conditions are not applied to consciousness
as such, but to the individuals consciousness as (always) already established and in operation.
Will may be understood as the imposing of boundary conditions by the individual consciousness
upon itself, internally individual consciousness upon itself, internally as it were. No perception
may be had without first the appropriate adjustment of consciousness boundary conditions (upon
its timelike resonance), that is to say, without the proper filtering by boundary conditions of the
dynamic of consciousness resonant interaction with its transcendent and indeterminate ground.
There is of course the necessity of a certain basic pattern of filtering upon which the ego is
dependent. The individual consciousness possesses a coherence not reducible to or dependent
upon feedback structures sustained by brain activity.

Consciousness is a classically forbidden phenomenon. Is it possible that quantum tunneling is
an important mechanism underlying the association of consciousness with (rather than its
engendering by) a functioning brain?

If all possible universes are actual, then does this mean that the conscious observer continually
moves from one universe to another (at least each time the observer performs a quantum
measurement upon the quantum state of his own brain).

The essence of evil is the unity of effort and activity of the 2
nd
principle to subvert the order of
creation, the manifestation of the 1
st
principle, to reorganize this reality in accordance with itself so
that this creation appears to have been an expression of its own being rather than that of Being
Itself. It is constituted by the reinterpretation of Being as Manifestation and manifestation as
being.

The dictum that, nothing fails like success, may be understood in the following way. Success
allows the erecting and building up of vast, institutionalized structures upon which nations and still
larger societies may come to depend for their livelihood and sense of the meaning of existence, but
which must sooner or later experience collapse or revolution, resulting in failure on a catastrophic
scale. Success permits falling from a much greater height than from the lower plain of
mediocrity.

There are many examples that can be given for things in culture that exert an upward pull upon the
mind and heart on the one hand or a downward pull upon the same, on the other. And as culture
is itself a manifestation and concentration of the elements and dynamics already present if only in
relatively inchoate, unsublimated form in the natural man existing altogether outside of the realm
of culture, altogether outside of the realm of culture, this would appear to perhaps make the case
for a fundamental duality of good vs. evil lying at the foundation of the human spirit. But there
appears to be also a natural latent ability of many persons to imagine a way life and being based
upon a system of values radically different from that held by the dominant cultures into which they
have been born. And this seems strong evidence for the real existence of a faculty of free will in
such persons and points to the possibility of such a faculty being a more or less universal
endowment of the individual human psyche.

The world isnt real because it doesnt last and doesnt possess an ordering principle deep enough
by which it can sustain its own existence. The principle of being of existence, that is, of all that
exists, is not to be found within existence.

It is not necessary to choose in the light of greater knowledge, obtained only much later, in order to
choose wisely. It is not only important to see things as manifestations of a ground, but to
recognize and distinguish one ground from another. That which informs ground is ordered in
altogether different manner than is this ground which it informs. This is the principle of the seed
in which information is interjected in programmed stages into the process of the informing of
ground which itself does not function in accordance with any prefigured or predetermined
programs.

Information is not a program and the placeholders for data within data structures are not
themselves data.

There are before images just as there are after images.
Transcendental Mind leads to consciousness which leads to information leading in turn to data
structures, then to data variables bound or unbound by explicit data structures.

The ringing of the bell before the bell exists. The ringing of the bell after the bell exists, but
before the bell has been struck. The ringing of the bell after it has been struck though the bell
remains in existence. The ringing of the bell after being struck and after the bell no longer exists.

The large time scale on which the maturation of wisdom takes place suggests that the gradations by
which this kind of knowledge increases are below the threshold of being articulated discursively
during the process, that is.

After substracting from each individual subject all those particulars, e.g., accidents, conditions,
etc. That are not essential to each subject being what (or who) it is, we are left only with what
distinguishes each from the other.

The human quantum observer is not part of the deterministic order governed by the Schroedinger
wave equation although he is nonetheless able to physically affect any such system through
deciding to interact with it. Synaptic activity has to be taking place in something, that is, there
must be some kind of context for this synaptic action for this activity to integrate so as to refer to
something outside itself. This context, whatever it may be, cannot be of the same fundamental
quantum/classical nature as the system of the brain embedded in it.

To possess consciousness is to possess psychic abilities, e.g., telepathy, telekinesis, clairvoyance,
etc. with regard to the situation and conduct of ones own self.

Perhaps the cash value of the term consciousness is in actuality only self-consciousness, that
is, consciousness with an object- in this case, the object (a social construct merely, perhaps) is the
self. Here the situation would be understood as closely analogous to that wherein the dreamer
upon awakening wonders if indeed he was conscious might (though not self-awareness unless the
relativity rare case of lucid dreaming is concerned here). So are dreams only recollected in the
light of the self-conscious self of the awakened state in which case our belief in the intrinsic raw
feels of consciousness as a kind of continuous substance, one which doesnt necessarily require
any particular form or structuring to possess un-self-aware experience, is quite mistaken.


Or if upon awakening he merely recollects the dream as having been a series of conscious
experiences. If indeed dreams are therefore, only, properly speaking, composes of conscious
experiences in the rare instances of lucid dreaming, and in all other cases, it is only physical
memory traces that are being more or less built up during the nights lapse of normal
consciousness, then the experience of dreaming, as humans normally understood this
phenomenon, has to be more properly viewed as the backward projection of ones normally
waking consciounsess as the reified context-giving substance (in the sense of experiential
medium) for these flimsy sturctures of physical encoding of memory traces within the dreaming
persons brain. Ending these considerations prepares for considering the relatively more radical
hypothesis, namely, that every case in which we recollect having been conscious in the absence of
a concurrent state of self-consciousness is one in which a false attribution of consciousness is
being made in a later-occurring self-conscious or reflective moment.

Our whole debate concerning the question of Gods Existence or nonexistence, Platonism vs.
relativism, hard AI vs. mysterianism, etc. may turn out to hinge upon the question of whether
self-consciousness and consciousness itself (or as such) are in actuality two distinct things
(phenomena, concepts, etc.). Is there pure consciousness, in other words, or is this concept
based upon the
kwd=
reification of a projection?

Plato had been speaking about suchness but only the suchness of form and not of substance.

We have all along assumed that the act of reifying our projections does not translate to any
enduring disturbance or alteration of the real (whatever this is/be).

If consciousness as such or pure consciousness is really only self consciousness and its various
backward pointing projections, then pure consciousness as such should have no basis as a properly
distinct concept (distinct from that of self-consciousness, that is.) In this case consciousness is
self-consciousness, that is to say, consciousness (as self-consciousness) is a form or function (or
form of functioning) of some system, and so-called pure consciousness is the medium of the
subjects self-conscious experience reified as underlying substance that is structured into a
consciousness of self as subject of this conscious experience.
There is all kinds of stray inductive cross-talk between the various densely criss-crossing axons
of the human cerebral cortex. But either these stray inductances are below conscious threshold
or there are really no messages as such criss-crossing along these myriad neural fibers. Rather,
thoughts and perceptions are triggered actuated, and perhaps modulated by all the complex
networks of ion currents bound to the meshes of neural interconnections within the neocortex.

But without the validity of a concept of pure (individual) consciousness referring to an objective as
reality we have all along supposed it to be doing, the entire metaphysics of mysticism is
completely undercut. Moreover, one cannot then use the notion of a transcendental Mind based
upon the notion of general, that is, transcendental concept of consciousness, to argue for the reality
of Gods Being (if not, however, His Existence).

Broken Symmetry, GUTS, and the Human Sense of Beauty This book title occurred to me as I
was reflecting on the bilateral symmetry of the human form, many particular examples of which,
are considered beautiful by almost all who behold them, e.g., runway supermodels, Olympic
Decathalon champions, etc. and reflecting further on how rather unattractive or unbeautiful most
of us guts of any human person. Then it occurred to me that GUTS was an acronym from
theoretical physics meaning, Grand Unified Theories. Further, I recollected that one of the basic
assertions of most of these GUTS was that of broken supersymmetry or just simply broken
symmetry. Physicists consider this broken symmetry exhibited by nature to be ugly when
compared to the supposed aboriginal cosmic state of supersymmetry. Supersymmetry possess a
greater elegance through its greater simplicity. For example, the more highly symmetric is a
collection of data, the more redundancy is built into this data set, allowing it to be more greatly
compressed, say, for purposes of speedier transmission.

In theoretical physics, asymmetries are the phenomenal manifestations or constructs of a deeper
symmetry level. The theistic view is perhaps the converse of this. God, the real Author of
Creation, according to the theist, Himself possesses no redundancy whatever, but represents an
utterly unique, infinitely asymmetrical (or perhaps nonsymmetrical is a better term), precursor to
the created order, i.e., the Universe.

Rather than viewing the asymmetrical as due to a kind of disruption of some original or starting
symmetrical state, perhaps it is bette rto understand the symmetric as distinct internal coherent
resonances within the starting asymmetrical state.

Although almost all religious belief systems make reference to a world beyond the contemporary
earthly one, believers reasons for continued adherence and subscription to the religious systems
of their choice is the ability of these belief systems to empower the believer in his daily existence.
And the real cash value of most religious belief systems is their therapeutic and motivational
advantages they offer the believer.

The theological questions of Gods Existence and tha tconcerning the immortality of the soul can
be seen to be intimately connected as strictly philosophical questions through the more
fundamental question of whether consciousness can only existe as a structure of consciousness,
i.e., as consciousness with an object (even if this object is only that of the ego) or as pure
consciousness or consciousness as such.

The coherent structure (and function) of counterfactuality is needed to help account for the
rationality and coherence (and cohesiveness/robustness) of the order of nature that is actually
given. Factuality vs. counterfactuality may merely constitute the end or terminal bands of a
continuous spectrum of factuality/counterfactuality. Each (apparently) actual other person
represents a counterfactual state of being/ existence for myself. The factual-counterfactual
might have manifested itself as, for example, the fact that many potential persons never become
actual, on the one hand, while many actual persons have never been potential or possessed
potential existence.

For the Many Worlds Interpretation to be consistent with the observed consistency and coherence
of the World that appears to us as the actually given one, there must exist an underlying
degeneracy spectrum of proto-world states such that, any given MWI QM theoretic world (among
the vast number of possible MWI QM theoretic worlds) is highly overdetermined form the
standpoint of never-manifested (within spacetime, that is) protoworlds of the multiply degenerate
continuous spectra of actual protoworlds (as opposed to potential actual worlds). So here we
have introduced a distinction between what we might term unmanifest actual worlds (the proto
MWI QM worlds) vs. manifest potential worlds (the actual MWI QM worlds).

The DNA as a system of possible distinct DNA molecules must possess a rationality that will
support the mutual integration of independently occurring mutations into a single new molecule
such that these independent mutations combine synergistically to produce environmental
adaptation of an advantageousness perhaps greatly outstripping that conferred upon the new
organism by the swimming together of the advantages respective to each.

There is not reason to assume that the Unknown so-called is a single thing, that is, unified and
not plural. Each individual resolves this unknown differently along the lines of his unique
historical biography of experience.

No matter how many individual consciousnesses experiencing and resolving the unknown, there
may have been brought into existence, each diverges from the other as all continue further and
further resolving the multiply structured unknown.

If the energy uncertainty of the brain like that of any other quantum system, originates from
outside (since brain is just a collection of boundary conditions), then the reduction of the energy
uncertainty of the brain cannot be consistently represented as the flow of uncertainty out of the
system. Can information only be transferred from one open system to another, say, through
tunneling or some other nonlocal process?

Universal consciousness is the field that selects the degeneracy of would-be individual
consciousness observers.

Data has no content only information has content. Data can be transmitted through spacetime
information cannot.

Establishing a nonlocal connection between a QM system and an open system induces an
irreducible change in this systems state, i.e., collapse of the systems Psi function.

By disconnecting from the intersubjective reality network in which the impulses of irrational wish
fulfillment on the part of the networks component subjectivities normally cancel each other out
and being equipped with only an incomplete and fuzzy memory of the rules (and of how to
internally implement these rules) governing the externally collectively projected world of causal
relations, one becomes able to dominate the process of the informing of chaos through force of an
unopposed will.

The disturbing thought for some philosophers of consciousness cannot be indifferent to the forms
and representations inhering and transforming through it. But then this means that
consciousness is not a passive medium of representation but participates in the life of the forms
to which it gives rise, but then so too do these forms participate in the dynamism of consciousness
(as such?) Does this mean then that the notion of pure consciousness is ust an intellectual
hallucination a false idea?

An implication of the Platonic Theory of eternal forms is that of pure consciousness as the purely
passive medium of these forms subsistence.

But isnt this notion of pure passive medium merely posited to satisfy a metaphysical prejudice,
having no other purpose or function?

Nonlocal fields need not possess boundary conditions.

Associative thinking as a broader and deeper basis for thought than class exclusion and inclusion.

Of course, one finds oneself occupying the top species of intelligent life. This is due to
conscious embodied existence being the intersection of the descent of being with the ascent of
biological evolution.

An additional, seemingly reasonable assumption is required here,
namely that, the more intelligent the biological system, e.g., neural network, the more completely
does this system resonantly tune to the vacuum entanglement information frequency spectrum of
descending transcendent being.

This explains ones vertical placement within the chain of biologically evolved lifes chain of
being. The lack of more advanced intelligent life in the Universe may also be explained along
these lines. The anthropic quantum solipsistic cosmological principle explains the existence of
the horizontal order.

Similar to the notion of time scale reductionism, the structure of
looser cosmological contraints is determined by a more finely detailed structure of tighter
cosmological constraints. To wit, the Anthropic Cosmological Principle is a subset or correlary
of the Solipsistic Cosmological Principle. This suggests the principle that what is called the
universe is really a multiverse, which is itself an interconnected structure founded upon an array of
uniquely tweaked/tuned fundamental physical constants. We should contrast with this here the
instantaneous values of the physical constants (in a metaphorical sense to be explained later) with
the average value (or expectation value) of the fundamental physical constants in relation to the
distinction of universe with multiverse. Universe is to mind as multiverse is to society. It is no
coincidence that the anthropic principle is part and parcel with the concept of the multiverse.
@$
I am unaware if anyone has examined the relative magnitudes of the number of possible anthropic
universes versus the number of possible distinct human personalities or selves. It is possible that
the number of distinct anthropic universes so dwarfs the number of possible selves that the allied
concepts of anthropic universe and multiverse conjointly carry the dangerous implication of
metaphysical or cosmological solipsism.

Some physicists believe that there are an infinite
number of parallel universes, created for each possible quantum mechanical outcome. The
collective name for these universes is the multiverse. No interpretation of quantum mechanics
that I am aware of has done an analysis of the role of multiple observers in the collapse of the
wavefunction. Doesnt each individual mind in some sense correspond to each independent
outcome? Cosmologist Alan Guth proposed a multi-verse solution to the Fermi Paradox. In this
theory, using the synchronous gauge probability distribution, young universes exceedingly
outnumber older ones (by a factor of exp[10
37
] for every second of age). Therefore, averaged over
all universes, universes with civilizations will almost always have just one, the first to develop.
However, Guth notes "Perhaps this argument explains why SETI has not found any signals from
alien civilizations, but I nd it more plausible that it is merely a symptom that the synchronous
gauge probability distribution is not the right one."

From a Physics Forum posting,
http://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=76618&page=3 : So, given that the human
brain consists of approximately 10
9
neurons and each neuron can be connected to up to 2x10
5
other
neurons, you can come up with an estimate of the possible number of brains using.

n!/nm

(Of course, the poster does not take into account the density of microtubules and tubulin dimers
within each neuron, which only boosts the effectiveness of his argument.)

Where n is the number of neurons and m is the number of connections. Due to the magnitude of
these numbers, most calculators cannot give a meaningful answer. Special methods can be used,
perhaps some will grace us with the number. Given the number of possible brains we then need to
assume a rate of generation and compare this time (how long to generate all of them) to the life
time of the universe. If the time required exceeds the life time of the universe then it must be
considered impossible.

If you apply the anthropic principle to you yourself, you are of course right that the
probability of you being yourself, once you exist, is 1. When Richard probably means though is
that the absolute probability is very small that you in particular should be born, while the
probability is very high that some human will be born given humanity exists. The equivalent on the
cosmological level is - given a sentient lifeform exists, what is the probability that it look exactly
like homo sapiens and sits on a planet that looks exactly like earth. In the cosmological version, we
can only guess, but it is bound to be very low. In the personalized version, it is easy to calculate -
take the number of humans ever born and divide by the number of possible variations of the human
genome. It's a really really small number. But that's not in contradiction with the anthropic
principle, c.f.,
http://richarddawkins.net/discussions/488454-the-anthropic-principle/comments?page=1

Does the anthropic cosmological principle apply to the question, When is now??

Paradoxically, the subjective nature of experience distinctive to each individual conscious mind,
by transcending an intersubjective definition, must be objectively real in a deeper sense than
entities within any particular universe of discourse.

If we assume that there are different states of pure consciousness at least potentially accessible to
each conscious person, then wouldnt we have to view each of these pure consciousnesses as
distinctly different forms of consciousness as such, and hence not really states of pure
consciousness at all?

If each individual consciousness is in this way a particular form of consciousness as such, than the
operation of the transformation of one such form into another while preserving the underlying
substance of pure consciousness should be definable and so possible.

Moreover, each individual consciousness becomes now just a particular state of the pure (or
absolute) consciousness.

The relative difference of these particular forms of pure consciousness would not be accessible to
each, but only could be compared and contrasted by the transcending pure consciousness.

I cannot even say what it is like to be me. Indeterminate in the past is continuous with nonlocal,
eternal present.

Onset of irreversibility with cleaning of degeneracy of would-be quantum observers.

We said that the unknown had a structure because of there being a different unknown in relation to
each mind. The question is whether the unknowns of each individual person eventually merge or
remain separate.

We are here inquiring about the topology, if you will, of the unknown in relation to the duality of
duality vs. transcendence and plurality vs. unity. It is probable that these two dual distinctions
cut across one another, creating an inherent difficulty for rational mind in its quest to submit all of
reality to its descriptive grasp. We have to realize that knowledge transcends the discursive,
transcends the capacity for description.

If consciousness is figure, what is ground? Analogy is necessarily to intersubjective
communication. Why should it be at all necessary for intrasubjective communication, say, for
example, from an evolutionary standpoint. We seek answers that can be communicated, but still
more, those that cannot be communicated, but only known to the individual and without this
whats being known by the individuals possessing any analogue for another. But this
knowledge should still be knowable for The Other?

Noras reaction to have a dream adaptation of the general human nature to the particulars of the
individuals circumstances rather than human nature being just abstractions. (predestination vs.
foreknowledge)

Back-reaction is an altogether different thing from reversibility. In fact, its the underlying cause
of irreversibility, if you think about the vacuum thats supposed to be the very ground of physical
being itself be surprised by some sudden development within other wise dead, inorganic matter,
say with the 1
st
switching on of life or consciousness. I think that the way inflection influences
the content sometimes in very substantive ways, the content of what we are saying thats inflected
indicates something of perhaps deep importance about the proactive nature of something thats not
exactly pure individual consciousness nor purely formal or linguistic thats taking possession of
the otherwise ordinary process of reporting information.

Fundamental particles of matter are indifferent to the passage of time, and yet it is thought by the
same people that somehow the vastness itself geologic intervals of time makes evolution of
complexity more probable.

Einsteins derivation of the inertia of energy is based on a thought experiment involving the
scattering of a photon between two mirrors.

Time dilation derived form considering the reflection of a photon from a mirror when this photon
originates from a body moving relatively to this mirror. We may conceive of the mirror as
analogous to the orthogonality of the energy component of the 4-momentum, relative to the
components of three momentum, combined with the fact of continual exchange of energy between
all matter and the quantum vacuum reservoir of energy fluctuations.

Observation by a quantum observer causes back-reaction of phenomena upon their ground state.

A replacement of the merely abstract entities, i.e., atoms, molecules, in my brain over time does
not affect the continuity of my conscious identity because the ground of which these entities are
abstractions has not been substantively effected.

Overdetermined of experience is essential to stability of the sense of the self and the external
world.

Space and time are aesthetic intuitions of consciousness so it doesnt make sense to talk about
consciousness being in the brain.

Modernist cultural artifacts are characterized by their appeal to phenomenology, by their
representation of the ordinary at reduced levels of percetual/cognitive processing (and perhaps at
greater levels of such processing, e.g., the introspection of a protagonist, etc.).

Consciousness that is isomorphic to the underlying brain processes that are supposedly responsible
for not only structuring but also producing this consciousness would lead, if concrete substance
(and its causal powers, c.f., Searle) are truly irrelevant, then this functioning of consciousness
would in turn produce another layer of consciousness.

Contrary to the case of the understanding of atoms and molecules, there is no larger framework in
which consciousness may be understood that does not altogether transcend the capacity for
understanding of any finite individual mind.

The structuring of consciousness is dependent upon spacelike inputs, which are locally connected
but the coherence of these structures into an integrated form is dependent upon nonlocally
connected timelike inputs. Nonlocal coneectivity cannot be explained in terms of mere local
connectivity.

Although the phenomena of self-consciousness as a high level structure of consciousness may be
explained in terms of brain function, consciousness as such cannot.

Archetypes Elementary Ideas Folk Ideas

To permit genuine creation, limitation had to ensue only after Being had irreconcilably whether
this applies to each apparently distinct species of intelligent life.

That which requires no sustaining of itself was not founded upon an act of the determination of
ground.

There is a blurring of the distinction of question, assertion, command and explanation.
Polyphony and rhetoric as non-separability of sign and symbol.

The difference which is a difference but makes no difference epistemologically only
ontologically. Because consciousness itself is not within experience of the individual, it makes
non difference to the quality of experience. Solution to the otherness problem here.

But there wold be a difference between consciousnesses to a transcendentally consciousness.

A new organism can be trained by downloading of instruction sets without need for participation
with an environment (context), that is, its training can be symbolically represented, if it is not
capable of conscious encoding of experience.

To ask if God Exists is similarly misguided as the question whether consciousness is an
experience.

The active principle of language is its intrinsic tendency of exhibiting the speakers intended
denotation.

How can symbolic description be passive and purely abstract, when the symbol back-reacts upon
and self-extracts deeper meanings?

Consciousness as pure epiphenomenon, then the rays, if you will, of consciousness radiate
outward forever, at infinite velocity, and never hit anything never strike the screen, as it were.

As monumental as seems ones evolution from the 1
st
tentative stirrings of infantile consciousness
to that height of consciousness represented by the pinnacle of ones intellectual and spiritual
development this amounts to but the tiniest amount of metaphysical labor. That is, the sum
total of ones experiential opus manages to enlarge creation, but only by the tiniest increment.

We must think of this transformation towards which some of us realize we seem to be accelerating
is entirely outside, nor should it be thought of as something unfolding entirely within the selves of
harbinger souls, if you will. (Intersubjectivity of each persons Other). Its perhaps a
collective self fulfilling prophecy. Maybe if we all talk about it and look for it enough, this will
make it an inevitable event at some stage.

All of the non-pedestrian states of consciousness fall into one or another of the Psychiatric
diagnosticians categories. But does that necessarily invalidate these extraordinary experiences?
Perhaps it tends to invalidate the practice if not the theory or psychiatry?

To be able to rationalize in the sense of channeling along societally defined as useful pathways, the
peculiar impulses and vagaries of the individual or to simply shut these out altogether when no
conventional way can be found for in this way channeling from this is the principle object of the
institute of the psychiatric profession besides the generally applicable professional interest of
making lots of money.

So when someone somewhat gets to know you and then this only to decide that one isnt all that
interesting, then, apart from the consideration whether this person hasnt just decided that youre
no real use to them, you shouldnt raly take this to heart or too seriously because we are each of us
transcendentally mutually other.

Machines dont communicate with each other because what is exchanged between them doesnt
mean anything (to them).

One thing that psychedelics can teach us is that all of the forms that might be manifest in culture
both past and for the foreseeable future (and perhaps beyond) that all of these forms are latent and
hardwired within the operating system of the human psyche.

Does the Napster metaphor work as an analogy of the sharing of images between individual
unconsciousness who are the author, necessarily for at lest a small percentage of the images within
their personal each of stock, archetypal images? But these unique images, particular to each self
have to be adapted to some common format if they are to have currency in the collective.

Certainly there had to be some sort of error correction system arise by which the brain could
differentiate inside from outside stimuli.

Space and Time versus Visual and Auditory

Whoever discovered water, it certainly wasnt a fish. Marshall McCluhan

Mind as conduit or terminal rather than repository/ computer.

The human mind had to be able to form generalizations form just the barest handful of particular
instance.

This required a highly developed capacity for abstraction, the positing of assumptions and
induction from those assumptions. One system for the brain protecting itself from incidental
fluctuations in itself would have been to link all these fluctuations together into a rational system
through streamlining and filtering to produce basic elements that could be permuted and
combined. And anything entering this mix that didnt bear the imprint or signature of this
filtering procedure should be interpreted as having stemmed from outside. Outside sensory
stimuli, other words, modulate fluctuations within the matrix of internal glitches.

Isnt it uncanny how all the reasons we give for what we love about our mates have so little to do
with our original reasons for being attracted to and liking them.

The gods say, sons and daughters, I have sent you away into the world. You are not allowed to

The circles and cycles of biological and ecological systems are extracted from their ground, but not
through mere abstraction, in the sense of filtering or lifting latent structure out of a matrix, some
preexistent features. Though the function of abstraction prima facie appears to be a positive
action on the part of consciousness, it is essentially the construction of a category through the
systematic negation of all those details or features inessential to what is to define this category.
In this way, the empiricist and rationalist epistemologies seem substantively interrelated.
Coherence of a collective of eigenfunctions is not really possible. Although each is differently

We should distinguish between negation and the transcending of a duality to which the negation
belongs.

So when something transcends A it is not A though without being identical to not A in the
sense of the simple negation of A. This is very much related to Goedels idea of theorems being
true without being provable by positing of a contradiction within some particular system within
which the theorem may be symbolically expressed.

This culture that commits slow genocide upon itself by choosing not to reproduce but to rather
attrit, is in part motivated by some sense that its act of self-extinction is noble and significant.
But what if it could but observe the myriad other unfortunate cultures throughout the Universe who

determinism be uncovered which would rob the act of its illusory nobility and heroic significance?

The disorder represented by deviance from the social norms is rationalized as being a

Knowing that you dont know foregrounds what you do in fact know so that you know that you
know it. This also provides the unknown with a structure. The unknowable is under the action
of consciousness forever transforming into the merely unknown.

Involution is the development of a concept from within itself and this development being
irreducible to a redrawing of a conceptual map.

I see that there are certain key concepts missing from the lexicon of critical thought that were
naturally selected against surfacing.

Rather than God being an abstraction from human being, humans are instantiations of God. It is
obvious that the sufficient ground and explanation of consciousness is not to be sought from
below, but from a still higher level of being. How is the concept of fetish related to that of
presence of metaphysical presence? Escaping the determinism of the accounting system of
offense and favor.

An essential component of heroism is the unsung nature of its suffering and sacrifice.

He doesnt understand the human experience of love; he is in its surface. Really, love is on the
surface of his deeper being. Is consciousness merely a projection of the ego, say, like the free

We may think of the divine pluriform (c.f., Philip K. Dicks writings on Gnosticism) reality in the

One parallel universe scenario that is compatible with the appearance of a unique, classical
universe (nave realist metaphysics) within a system of parallel quantum universes, i.e., a
multiverse, which is also compatible with human free will is itself also consistent with each
individual human consciousness transitioning to a new parallel universe-embedded brain (possibly
a Boltzmann brain) with each new freely willed act. The person does not start branching as a
result of freely willed choices until there is a distinctive consciousness capable of conducting
alternate universe transitioning. Self-consciousness may be based not in the functioning of a
given individual brain, but in the quantum entangled functioning of myriad similar and quantum
entangled brains, each located in a distinct quantum universe.

In a real as opposed to an alternative Universe, ground would protrude into the Universes
continuum.

The poetic nature and significance of the of the prophesied event is fated but not the literal manner
by which the prophecy will be fulfilled.

A perfect example of the collective consciousness implementing of the above principle in the
linking of significant events across time through the initiation/enacting of some moral occurrence
on an anniversary. But, of course, there are much more complicated ways of linking events,
many ways to serve two principles, one practical, the other ironic/poetic through the freedom of
choice in the forms of expression the manner of acting that simultaneously serves the
requirements of the now as well as those seemingly required by the prophecy.

Intuitions of waking life are equally mixture of projection and insight as are dreams. Insights of

The ironies of life point to the hidden pedagogical nature of powerful human experiences. The
pedagogical nature of human experience points to a creator just as does the design latent and

By being merely a metaphor a myth becomes more than literally true.

Without the conditionality/contingency of reference, the distinction between reality and illusion

But the intentionality of consciousness in the absence of the object implies
that an external reference of consciousness is integral to consciousness itself. Although data like
energy may be properly spoken of as flowing, i.e., is a conserved quantity, what is called
information does not flow, but is necessarily nonlocal in nature, implying instantaneous two-way
feedback. The dynamic integral structure of the brains synaptic network still more of its
microtubular network, could not have become what it is, that is, of supporting consciously
self-aware psychological states if: 1) a sociolinguistic context and 2) an external reference, i.e.,
external world did not embed and support this network. The sociolinguistic context, mediated
via the external world (physical processes supporting ego-alter ego interactivity) is what permits
the brain to escape from its otherwise self-imposed bootstrap problem, i.e., consciousness not
being able to terminate a self-referential infinite regress. The essence of self-consciousness is
Derridas always alreadiness of preexisting recursive process.

Is otherness actually presence. Self vs. other. Presence vs. Absence.

Watts: sensations and thoughts are vibrations of the self.

The dichotomy of purposeful vs. purposelessness is cut across by the dialectic of the cosmic

This belief that the joy or pleasure involved in doing and experiencing all manner of different
things can be distilled into a pure form, obviating the need for joys attachment/involvement in the
intricacy of form makes of these forms nothing valuable of themselves. This is the flaw in the
Freudian sublimation theory. Freuds sublimation theory belies the truth that form is inherent in
joy or pleasure that is to say, there are irreducibly distinct varieties of joy, which can be
experienced by human beings.

The infusing of the unlimited variety of forms with joy as we participate in them is what keeps the
endless pressing of the orgasm button from ultimately becoming meaningless and pointless.

The meaning of the Universe as a whole would have to be some transcendental reference.

The coherence of the self requires that it possess its own ground and its own distinct, unique

God is transcendent in the sense that he is not a particular being occupying the top position in the
chair of being. Rather, God is the author of this chain of being.

The individual human consciousness is infinite-particular while God is infinite-universal.

Can the infinite be incorporated into predicate logic?

There are many more things that almost were than actually come to be.

The temporal continuity of consciousness and its spatial discontinuity are only mediated and
structured through spacetime. Or should we say rather that just the converse of this is true?

Our basis for deciding whether we are going to like one another or not has much to do with how
pleasing we find each others more or less unwarranted assumptions we seem to be makin gabou
each other, that is to say, how much we like the novel relfection each is catching of of the reflective
surface of the other.

In the same way that the purpose of the Law was not a divine prescription for how human beings
are to behave but essentially the means by which human beings were to obtain knowledge of Sin,
the purpose of prayer is not essentially to petition of God good favors, but a contemplative means
for finding out what the Will of God is for us actually.

The question arises as to how we one able to directly intuit consciousness, if intact, we really do so.
Or is it just the ground of experience which is itself experienced without us ever glimpsing this
underlying ground of experience, or consciousness.

Determination is a result of the collusion of the indeterminate being in itself with the grasp of the
intellect. Thought is borrowed insight if it is not itself insight. Intellect never succeeds wholly
on its own but depends upon grace.

For seeing exactly how something is the case utterly removes the wonderousness of that fact
whatever it may be.

When making any philosophical or theological argument, scientific argument, etc. concerning
some wonder inducing notion, one is always secretly banking on a higher understanding than ones
own as the perfection or completion of ones crudely glimpsed wondrous truths.

We rely on God to ground our insights in higher reality and in this way vouchsafe our sense of
wonder as other than mere illusion.

As happens in the case of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, a truth originally glimpsed as an
epistemological principle is later discovered to be ontological in nature.

We are forever arguing that something wonderful is so without ever seeing the slightest chance of
saying how those things are so. It is here that we secretly invoke God as vouchsafer of ultimate
reference.

Understanding cannot be measured because based on experiences unique to the individual
background of a person.

Much is made, you know, of hunches, intuitions and insights, but what we usually find, is that once
we have succeeded in seizing hold of an idea arrived at by some keen or penetrating hunch or
intuition, we soon discover that theres a much clearer path to my insight from the one by which I
at first seized hold of it, and such a path, one realizes, post insight, could have never been glimpsed
from ground level as it were. This very much applies to clever arguments in, for example,
Christian apologetics. All this is to say that there is a telos to thought which transcends the
affinity of ideas to one another based upon the surface appearance of these ideas individually, that
is, based upon how these ideas seem to interlock within a presently held conceptual mapping.

God makes possible the common reference of language, he is the implicit basis of community.
God brings together otherwise transcendentally separate, cosmically lonely minds.

The individual is the expression of the whole activity of the Universe from a particular point of
view. Now there are two seemingly distinct ways of viewing transcendent Mind. 1) The
integral expression of the whole activity of the Universe from some absolute and unified point of
view, that is, from every possible point of view or, on the other hand, 2) this from no particular
view point at all.

There are two views on what the processing of information means. In the 1
st
weve manipulated
information so as to being about some bit of altogether new information, in the other, weve simply
turned a piece or pieces of information over in our hands this way and that bringing out features of
the information already present. In other words, weve used part of a collection of information to
give us access to other parts of this information. What appears within the mind as a determinate
insight is just the ability of this insight occurring within some larger space, encompassing the mind
as well as that lying beyond its horizon and possessing a holographic structure, but a determinate
facet of which is at first apprehended by the mind itself.

Without consciousness there is no distinguishing of readily from appearance. Absolutely
everything is then mere appearance and no hierarchy of being no development within the progress
of being is possible. What evidence can we point to of this block or governor within the mind?

A Baysian probability formulation for the wavefunction of a QM system brings with it the notion
of the state of knowledge of the (an) observer being integral to objective quantum reality.

A passing away and a coming into being cannot possibly be continuous with one another.

The Tao is the same as the Now, but there is a different Now for each of us, isnt there?

Quantum uncertainty and probability are relative to the particular observer. But we must
distinguish between epistemology and ontology here.

The 3
rd
Way is pointed up simply this way: we intuit the ground of our mental figure, i.e.,
perceptions, sensations, feelings, etc. something other than figure and ground in terms of which it
is intuited.

If the global indeterminacy of quantum observables of the nonlocally connected quantum vacuum
is collective in the sense of being comprised by the sum of all the uncertainties associated with all
observers, potential and actual, then the sum total of fluctuations in these observables relative to
this global uncertainty constitutes the classical world as intersubjective appearance.

If different individual consciousnesses are each individual instances of consciousness, then there
exists a concept of consciousness but not one that can be abstracted from out of the experience of
any one particular individual. Hence, the concept of consciousness if it exists, is transcendental
and this concept, therefore, may only be entertained by a transcendental mind. The alternative to
the individuals consciousness not being itself an instance of such a transcendental concept seems
to be that of solipsism in which what each individual terms consciousness is completely
incommensurate with what is termed such by any other person.

In this way belief in the existence of other minds (i.e., other consciousness more or less akin to
ones own) carries with it the tacit assumption of the existence of a transcendental mind, i.e., God.
@$
The individual mind is not itself an abstraction, but is rather an instantiation of mind as such.
So it appears that a favorable approach to a new proof of Gods existence might be the
demonstration, first of the existence of a variety of transcendental concepts, even if such concepts
go beyond any possible human attempt at their specification or description. Such a proof of the
existence of God or transcendental mind would be itself an existence proof much after the
fashion of those constructed as mathematical theorems in which the entity itself cannot be
constructed, but can nonetheless be proved to possess mathematical existence, i.e., subsistence.

In light of the discussion thus far it seems that no more faith is required for belief in other minds
than in the existence of a transcendental mind.

In this way the otherness of ones fellow human being points to the concept of otherness as such,
i.e., otherness in relation to all possible finite beings. We have a concept of consciousness by
some means other than abstraction from experience (in the sense of synchronic experience).
Where all of our other concepts are concerned, we tacitly assume a ceteris paribus principle where
time/temporality is concerned. It turns out that temporality is not a concept either, but according
to Kant an intuition. The concept of consciousness is arrived at through abstraction from
diachronic experience and so consciousness is never/has never been an actual given within a given
moment of experience (experience, rather, is always itself within consciousness). The concept
of consciousness is arrived at through the integration of experience from outside of the moment.
The intuition of the passage is, in fact, one and the same. Or is time within consciousness rather
than consciousness being within time. The notion of consciousness being within time seems to
require the presence of some broader consciousness within which the consciousness it contains
might evolve temporally as a whole. Is personal, egoic consciousness, then the product of the
integration of small portions of the contents of some universal consciousness? Or does this
content itself depend upon the context provided as a result of this prior integration of
consciousness?

Is there no essence to anti-Semitism? Is anti-Semitism merely a historical phenomenon
possessing no unique and unitary cause/origin? Romanticism was not so much a reaction
against the Enlightenment as were both reaction s against medievalism. Rousseau embodied
both reactions best of all thinkers of this period. The notions of nation-state and national
sovereignty are fairly modern inventions. Hitler Youth became the Young Pioneers. The
best communist is a former Nazi and vice versa. The reason for anti-Semitism is not hate, hate
in this case is mobilized against the Jew for political purposes other than the mere hatred of
Jews/Jewishness.

Two examples of the integration of thoughts context of thought in order that thought be present
and integration of thoughts as discrete elements that provide context collectively for each of these
thought elements. Either way the brain provides the basis of this integration by providing a
means for the building up, i.e., complexification of quantum correlations of the fields for which the
brain also provided dynamically structured boundary conditions. These boundary conditions
supplied by the brain provide means of selecting, filtering, amplifying and interconnecting of
preexistent but ill-defined vacuum information signals.
September 2011
There is certainly some
mystery involved in the way that information can be rationally transformed through a changing of
context. The not so mysterious part is that information is in the first instance an artifact of
context. Information is by its very nature multifaceted, and the mysterious part is that this is in a
manner that is open-ended. Recursiveness in the absence of closedness. Something defined in
terms of itself wherein identity forever eludes any complete or crystalline determination.
Consider that aperiodic patterns possess the far greater capacity for storing or carrying
information, while a crystal represents the most information-frugal way of taking on mass.
Schrodingers aperiodic crystal that stores information recursively would contain the encoding of
its very own structure. It is like instead of being limited to any particular basis of orthogonal
functions in terms of which to encode or represent a certain class of continuously differentiable
function, one has found the universal basis of functions, one not limited by any particular
topology, or any particular system of Godel-numbering for that matter, in terms of which one can
represent any arbitrary function. Any sudden alternation in the structure of such an aperiodic,
information-dense-coding crystal, though it might be caused by a random occurrence, would
always produce a change that was meaningful though this meaningfulness would always be
limited by an inherent modularity within each given level of description. These otherwise distinct
levels of description may become mutually entangled, evincing a disruption of optimal functioning
within one or more of these qualifiedly distinct levels. Randomness is actually essential to
permit transitions between levels of description, leakage between compartments of the system
state space that enable reorganization and transformation of the system. The advantages of a
filtering function, which is necessary to get around the limitations imposed by Godel-numbering,
can only be realized within a system that posseses stores of unassigned state-space addresses.

An isolated system contains a deterministic set of internal signals that possess no reference, i.e.,
they are not about anything and so possess no content. A radically open and infinite set of
such signals on the other hand seem to be about everything in general, as opposed to the earlier
case of the isolated system, namely one where these signals are about nothing in particular.

Our true identity transcends any such that might ultimately be established by our actual historical
biographies whether seen through the eyes of others or our own. Rather ones truest, deepest
identity would be more closely approximately by some unimaginable integration of all possible
alternative biographies; for this is the only clearly conceivable way of factoring out the extraneous
influence of contingency and circumstances. Certainly an indefinite number of such alternative
biographies involve genetically altered or engineered versions of my physical self in which my
brain is several times the size and complexity of the one I happen to possess and also in which Im
born into a vastly more advanced culture than that of late 20
th
/early 21
st
Century America, etc. It
is a widely understood fact of human embryological physiology that the brain of the newborn
comes equipped with approximately 100 times the density of neural interconnections as one
carries into mature adulthood. The reason for the loss of such a very large percentage of the initial
complement is simply on account of lack of use. Human infants are apparently still being born
into cultures too backwards to provide adequate means for sufficiently stimulating the newly
formed neural circuits, which must then wither on the vine like leaf and flower shoots starved of
adequate sunlight. It is a mystery as to why nature would have prepared each of us to survive and
thrive in a culture millions of years more advanced than the one, which we designate as being the
present one! We are reminded in this connection of the Sagan Hypothesis argument for our
living within an ancestor simulation.

One possible and perhaps disturbing take on the Many Worlds Interpretation of QM is one in
which each observers brain is linked to or embedded in its own, unique quantum vacuum
constituting his or her own quantum and nonclassical consciousness. The observers body
observes and/or interacts with are constituted by deterministically evolving Schrodinger wave
functions. These same objects are presumably described by a different set of wavefunctions.
These same objects are presumably described by a different set of wavefunctions, one for each
other observer or prospective observer because the brains of these other persons are embedded in,
and interacting with, altogether disparate consciousnesses. The other persons with whom I, for
instance, interact are linked to my quantum vacuum only thermodynamically via locally mediated
mutual interference. The wavefunctions of distinct observers form with one another only
statistical mixtures while the wavefunctions of a single individual form with one another an actual
quantum superposition of nonlocally-connected (quantum-correlated or entangled) states.

Detailed examination of the dynamics of the quantum brains functioning disrupts the
nonlocal-connectedness of quantum entangled states of the brain, revealing only a combination of
random and deterministic relationships between these quantum brain states.

In this way, all persons are mixtures of determinism and chance with exception of the person in
questions own unique quantum brain states. We might term this model of the relatedness of
persons relative state quantum solipsism. This points up the difference between each individuals
privileged access to his own brain states (by acquaintance, in Russells sense) and his access to the
brain states of other individuals only by description, again in Russells sense of the terms.

Is the quantum vacuum energy fluctuation spectrum of public spacetime composed of the
projective overlapping of a virtually infinite sum of largely orthogonal time dimensions each with
its own associated spectrum of uncertain energy?

Only a single observers consciousness can track a particular single trajectory of composed of a
specific sequence of bifurcating of quantum universe wavefunctions. So each individuals
consciousness is characterized by its own unique temporal evolution. This temporal evolution is
constituted by the integration of the observers continual remeasurement of the quantum state of
his own brain. This reminds us of the illusion of continuous time produced through too rapid
succession of discrete movie projected still frames. How the wavefunction of the quantum brain
of the observer collapses every few milliseconds is naturally determined by the state of the virtual
energy, i.e., signature quantum vacuum with which this brain exclusively interacts.

The world that each individual occupies is perfectly fine tuned as to, e.g., physical constants, etc.,
for the engendering and continued existence for that individual. Well, then, what can we say for
the case of the other individuals occupying ones physical environment? Arent the physical
constants equally well (hyper) fine-tuned for these other individuals? And if not, then how is
this situation to be reconciled with the admittedly logically arguable absurdity of solipsism? The
hypothesis of each conscious individual inhabiting the precise center position within his or her
own uniquely specific quantum vacuum state offers itself as a plausible means of effecting such a
reconcilement with the rejection of what we might facetiously term anthropic cosmological
solipsism.

The collapse of a QM systems wavefunction is brought about by a discontinuous selection of a
new ground state for the vacuum in which the system is to be embedded. The brain of the
individual may be immune to such discontinuous selections of the vacuum state of his own brain
because he is continually selecting the vacuum state of his own brain through his act of conscious
existence. The system collapses in accordance with that observer who has the most direct and
hence least mediated access to the observance of that systems quantum state, in effect.

The retroactive causality of the kind that seems to be permitted by the concept of quantum
nonlocality cannot be that of some determinate (predetermined, really) future upon some system
occupying a moment in absolute past of this determinate futures Minkowski light cone. Such a
retroactive variety of causality is ruled out by the Heisenberg uncertainty principle which
disallows a determinate (though perhaps unknown or unknowable) trajectory of quantum
observables in the configuration space encompassing these two separated temporal parts.

One might suppose that however some determinate set of eigenfunctions with respect to various
future quantum observables may be able to back-react causally.

However, the spectrum of eigenfunctions for quantum observables itself depends upon classically
describable boundary conditions upon the quantum fields with which the eigenfunctions are
necessarily associated. And these classically describable boundary conditions can in principle
be pulled within the scope of the state function, resulting in a perhaps fundamental modification to
this state function and rendering heretofore classically describable components of the overall
classical-quantum (semiclassical) system quantum-describable. Clearly, only the unconstrained
(unboundaried) vacuum fields occupying this future are permitted to have a retrocausal
influence, but then, only directly upon the unconstrained vacuum fields of the earlier moment in
question. It is difficult to see how vacuum fields of the type we have been alluding to can be
attributed occupation of some particular temporal region of spacetime.

These quantum fields seem to collectively possess the character of some kind of eternal present.

Human Existence is the application of our choice of whether and of how we served or defied the
Will of God. It is Gods demonstration to us of how we chose and the meaning of this choice so
that we shall know that His judgment of us was both just and merciful. It is also the means by
which those who chose to serve God could glorify Him.

Fred Alan Wolf says that we can agree on the Holocaust as a historical fact, but we cannot agree on
what was in the German Mind during the holocaust.

The past cannot be changed per se, however, that which was indeterminate in the past when it was
present and which until the present moment remains indeterminate this can be rendered
determinate in the past by an act committed now. The temporality of the indeterminate cannot
be mapped along the time axis of determinate temporality, but makes contact with and intersects it
through the function of direct intuition.

Quantum versus classical ~ Mind versus Matter
Nonlocal Quantum vs. local quantum
Fully quantum mechanical vs. semiclassical
Disembodied vs. Embodied Mind

Nonlocal quantum fields transcend spacetime by being supraliminal and transcend matter by
virtue of being unconstrained by boundary conditions.

The difference between Culbertsons Robot that is built and learns German from another robot that
is built, identical to the first, is the fact of a history of nonlocal quantum correlations that have
been built up between the 1
st
robots brain and its environment (ultimately with the nonlocally
quantum vacuum field in which this environment of the robot was embedded that provided the
irreversibility and hence veritable historicity of the robots biography)

The emergence of a new conscious being within the world (spacetime) is phenomenologically
reducible to the mutual entangling and constraining and filtering of a virtually infinite number of
preexistent wavefunctions. At some stage the system back-reacts upon its quantum substate,
becomes stable and in addition to its stable energy ground state acquires furthermore a stable
information ground state. Somehow the developing brain in its growing resonant interaction
with its energy ground state induces a cleaving of a degeneracy of a particularly special nature, that
of the spectrum of possible would-be observers. Some field is switched on that removes the
degeneracy by virtue of some heretofore inert or passive structure, i.e., latent structure that has
developed to a critical point. This latent quantum structure must be tied to a relevant quantum
number and hence to a relevant quantum observable. Hypothesis: all quantum systems possess
some degeneracy, i.e., degeneracy with respect to at least one definable quantum observable,
except those systems possessing conscious states.

A question arises at this stage concerning the relationship of the switched-on quantum field (in
conjunction with any other fields that are already present) and the spectrum of fluctuations
supported by the collective boundary conditions represented by the physically realized system.

Can there be a correlation of the external field with that of the systems fluctuation spectrum,
one, which encourages their convergence?

The fact that time does not appear 0 dimensional, collapsed into the otherwise infinitesimally
thin timeslices of the present is due to the action of consciousness presupposed to possess at least
some capacity of memory. The rate at which time passes should perhaps be largely, or
perhaps essentially, determined by the phase relations of the infinite, myriad and bundled together
objective times. Perhaps it is only the very manner in which these phase relations are integrated
so as to produce a phenomenological time (or temporality) that determines the nature of subjective
time for the individual and perhaps the individual identity of the person (within time as a potential
subject of experience). Now to avoid an infinite regress which threatens the discussion at this
juncture, we must not allow that this process of integration, at its ultimate level, that is, become
itself temporal in the interaction process. This suggests that the integration of a given bundle of
an infinite number of times lies somehow with their intrinsic coherence. It seems that three of
the four basic attributes of time, rate, direction and duration are all somehow dependent upon the
faculty of memory the other, time order, does not seem memory dependent and so may well be
objective, and the direction of past time flows may not have any real bearing here.

Rather then saying that a system, facing a choice of different states, causes a split at the universe
into several parallel ones, why not just suppose from the outset that the computer, as a physically
realized piece of hardware, is itself the product of a superposition?

The human brain manages to sustain itself, or various parts of itself, at various times, in quantum
superposition states even at temperatures approaching 100 degrees Fahrenheit. The brain does
this through some as yet to be discovered isolation mechanism something about how the brain
functions prevents influences from the external environment from collapsing its internal quantum
superposition states.

Expectation value ~ intersubjective and can be measured repeatedly; an expectation value is an
overdetermined quantity. Fluctuation ~ subjective and can be determined only once; a
fluctuation is an underdetermined quantity.

Energy from foodstuffs only supply the bias voltages of the network of neurons. The real work
of information processing occurs at the fluctuation level. Attraction as a patchwork of fetishes
that appears to fuse into a seamless whole. When a general state of dissociative consciousness
begins to develop, this patchwork begins at once to unravel, causing a decay in the
natural-seemingness of ones physical and social environment.

The Heisenberg Uncertainty principle must have a close relationship to the Pauli Exclusion
Principle since the strength of the exclusion force between particles of approximately identical
quantum states must be proportional to the degree of overlap or coincidence between the
probability density functions, for example, in the case where particle position is concerned.
Similar observations hold for probability functions with respect to other quantum observables,
e.g., energy, momentum, angular momentum, etc.

We can perhaps ground a distinction between two types of vacuum energy fluctuation in analogy
to Kants distinction of synthetic and analytic propositions. The structures that cannot be
anticipated by the vacuum in the sense of not having a correspondence with any purely timelike
fluctuation in the vacuums energy these we may term synthetic vacuum structures, all the rest
for the time being we relegate to the term analytic vacuum structures. What may prove
interesting to investigate would be the analogous breakdown in the parallelism of analytic versus
synthetic with respect to a priori versus a posteriori, pointed out by Kant for propositions, now
with regard to vacuum, structures as objects of thought versus objects of empirical observation.
November 2011
According to Kant, sense perception is not of objects in an external world, but of
predigested and reprocessed sense data. The perception of the world may be overdetermined in
part because the physical world is energy degenerate with ever finer additional details existing in
potential awaiting application of the appropriate new fields, e.g., magnetic fields for removing
energy degeneracies.

The principle of causality is synthetic a priori in Kants theory of critical reason. The possibility
of metaphysics, as well as the efficacy of insight and intuition seem to require the possible nature
of the synthetic a priori. Naturally, the faculty of consciousness is necessary in order for
synthetic propositions to be known a priori. What about analytic a posteriori judgment (what
Kant considered impossible), c.f., Quine.

If one is to be open to communication to receiving information, that is, then the system
constituting ones mind must posses reducible energy uncertainty.

If energy uncertainty mediates the passage of time, i.e., temporality, then perhaps exists an energy
uncertainty unique to each individual consciousness that intuits its own temporality. And
furthermore, perhaps the total energy uncertainty of the quantum vacuum may be decomposed into
multiple fluctuation spectra, with the correlations of fluctuations within one spectrum being
mutually distinct from how these fluctuations might become correlated across distinctly different
spectra.

Each such spectrum would possess its own unique structure of energy uncertainty and hence its
own, unique temporality. Each timeline for each individual could indeed be orthogonal to that
of any other even though each corresponding four dimensional spacetime continuum possess three
spatial dimensions in common. In this way each consciousness would be spacelike separated
from every other. Through the action of gravitation, the energy (otherwise purely timelike)
fluctuations within each distinct vacuum energy spectrum, i.e., subjectivity, could be
communicated to each other through affected 3-momentum fluctuations. We may
self-consistently assume that the quantum vacuum energy fluctuations within a given spectrum are
nonlocally interconnected while the fluctuations from distinct spectra may only become locally
interconnected.

With the initial impulse of the Big Bang directed perpendicularly (locally) to the three dimensional
hypersurface in concert with local conservation of four momentum, (3-momentum is separately
conserved, at least approximately, in weak gravity fields).
The reconstitution of the 3-hypersurface from the vacuum energy of the 4-hypervolume bound
by this surface occurs approximately along a direction orthogonal to this hypersurface, in the case
of only weak gravity fields being present, therefore the direction of time is locally approximately
independent of position and velocity along the 3-hypersurface. For a rapidly moving spaceship
experiencing relativistic effects, additional effects due to global spacetime curvature become
observable.

To be an open system, a system must possess historicity, that is, it must possess a spacetime
history. The system must be properly speaking embedded in or connected to spacetime, c.f.,
Culbertson. This spacetime itself must be an open system by virtue of being a continuum
sustained by some activity.
If two measurement apparatus are adjusted in such a manner that the first prepares the system as an
eigenstate with respect to a particular observable while the other applied to the same system in
measurement produces a state of quantum superposition with respect to orthogonal axes of some
conserved volume?
Orthogonality of two functions implies their linear independence, but is the converse of this also
true? Gravitation disrupts the linear independence of the orthogonal components of conserved
quantities.
Intuition and feeling necessarily involves a grasp of the relatively weighted probabilities of
component possibilities forming with one another a spectrum (superposition?). This is why the
terms expectation value (of an observable) is a doubly appropriate term for the average or mean
eigenvalue of an observable.

How does the notion of transmission differ between eigenvalues and expectations values when a
gravitational field is switched on within the wavefunctions defining region?

As the gravitational field strength is increased, the quantum mechanical system becomes in some
sense more cohesive but less coherent (the eigenfunction spectrum becomes more anharmonic.
The orthogonality (linear independence) of the axes of subjective time would be guaranteed by the
independence of the energy uncertainty of each individuals brain from that of the brains of other
individuals.
The possibility of transcendent, transpersonal reality presupposes the plurality of consciousness in
which the individuality of each consciousness is irreducible and mutually incommensurable with
respect to any other such consciousness. This makes the identity of this plurality fundamentally
indeterminate. The cosmos arises through collective act of mutual determination on the part of
these various incommensurate consciousnesses.
The relatively incommensurate nature of individual consciousness implies the impossibility of
superpositions of conscious states of distinct persons. In other words, conscious states possess
no externally obtainable (measurable) eigenvalue.
Consciousness is the ultimate step in the causal chain of the forming of an observation. Positing
consciousness itself as a possible observable is therefore a contradiction in terms, as the
observation of a consciousness, i.e., conscious state would itself be the ultimate step in the
aforementioned causal chain with consciousness itself being the penultimate (or earlier) step in
this chain.
The essential nature of consciousness, rather than its innate and continuous self-observation, is
actually not in any manner whatever observable.
An essential property of what is properly called mind is the transcendence of Minds conditionality
by its counterfactuality. This is due to Minds nature as not merely passive, but possessing
activity of its own, both causally and categorically, minds reality-defining, creative property,
otherwise stated.
The manipulation of data by various, interacting subsystems of the brain can only be maximally
integrated through the brains interaction with some active and dynamic substrate within which it
lies embedded.
The notion of each subjective will acting within a temporality unique to its own consciousness is
supported by another notion of each individual brain accessing and interacting with its own unique
vacuum signal spectrum the same on that originally guided the wiring up of the developing
embryonic brains fine structure, i.e., its 3-momentum fluctuation correlation matrix. There is
no direct coupling of timelike and spacelike momentum fluctuations in the absence of a
gravitational field. Off-diagonal energy tensor component fluctuations are responsible for the
expectation values of these off-diagonal components of <Tuv>.
Dualism: vacuum fluctuations are both transient perturbations in energy as well as being a signal
(representation) and potential input/output connection between, e.g., brain and vacuum or bias
input for altering vacuums self-interaction (within or between vacuum spectra/domains).
September 2011
The other minds problem may someday be addressed empirically through analysis of
the vacuum electromagnetic field spectra uniquely associated with individual consciousnesses,
e.g., microtubule protein dimer (tubulin) resonant structures, from which necessary general
features of these spectra may be determined, which generally characterize consciousness as such.
If there is no possibility of generalizing from individual instances of consciousness to a general
concept of consciousness, then can it be concluded from this that it is not the instantiation of
consciousness as such that constitutes an individual consciousness? If brain physico-chemical
process/biophysical processes do not produce states of individual consciousness, but merely tune
to, resonate with and in turn, filter, channel, inform, shape, suppress, dampen, amplify, etc.
specific vacuum spectra that are uniquely associated with the identity of the person whose
individual consciousness it is, then it might be supposed that there are features of these quantum
entangled/correlated vacuum fluctuation spectra that form a necessary component of individual
consciousness-mediated personal identity. The key question here is whether the development of
the human identity is the result of a dialectical, give-and-take, blind collaborative process
between brain embryogenesis and the formation, processing and reprocessing of quantum
entanglement signatures within the particular local vacuum state of that epoch or whether indeed
the key component of personal identity lies with vacuum entanglement signature networks that
preexist, only perhaps playing a hand in guiding brain embryogenesis (at the tubulin level) once an
initial resonant compatibility has already been established between the vacuum fluctuation
sub-spectrum and the differentiating fetal brain tissue. If more than one of these sub-spectra
could be identified as essentially underlying the cognitive states of the individual, say through
further experimentation along lines pioneered by Stuart Hameroff and relevant differences and
similarities between such distinct spectra analyzed, then perhaps the problem of other minds could
receive input from empirical science.
Symmetry breaking and the Plurality of consciousnesses.
The event of state vector collapse cannot be thought to take place instantaneously, but within and
effectively over the course of some time internal ~ /\t, the time uncertainty of the system described
by Psi, the wavefunction undergoing this collapse.
The Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics requires a state vector for each observer of
the system.
A change in the rate of subjective passage of time could only be perceivable if subjective time is
mediated through the degree of mutual dependence and connection of the brains subsystems, e.g.,
will, perception, sensation, abstract reasoning, etc.
Can Psi(r,t) = Psi(r)Psi(t) be Fourier transformed into a function Psi(p)Psi(E), that is, as
Psi(k)Psi(w)?
The corresponding probability density function is square integral with respect to (r,t) and is
quadratic in the momentum and energy variables.
Momentum and energy densities may be shifted through shifting either the quantity of substance
or volume (or both).
Ambiguity of experience lies with the polyphonic nature of narrative. The indeterminacy and
degeneracy of the present as embedded, living, as opposed to isolated, determinate invites the
retrodiction of future experience. Memory prevents reversibility and reproducibility and
therefore blocks the crystallization of identity, c.f., Culbertsons Robot with a historical past
versus a copy of this robot that is suddenly switched on. A first point of difference between the
two is the fact that the historical robot can point to no experience within its memory of having
been switched on with a heavily laden memory bank already in place. This robot has the
experience of accumulating new memories at various points within the process filling up its
memory banks, including memories of the revision of still earlier memories and their meaning and
significance in the light of accumulating of new memories. The phenomenon of the revision of
memories (formally requiring the operation of a 2
nd
(and perhaps non-orthogonal) dimension of
time) suggests that memory is not stored in the brain only means for addressing memories that are
not stored locally ~ implications for the mind-body problem, question of immortality, etc.
As the state vector of any quantum system is unique to each prospective observer, therefore so to
are the expectation values of each of the systems quantum observables as well as the squares of
these observables unique though the state vector uniquely corresponding to each prospective
observer. In the case of each observers own brain (as each is a bona fide example of a quantum
mechanical system), the observer is not merely prospective but always actual. In this way the
brain of each observer may be supposed to respond (via fluctuation resonance) with only a given
set of quantum vacuum fluctuations out of the total spectrum of such fluctuation in which his brain
is practically embedded. And this may, of course, be presumed to change in complexion on
account of the temporality of the quantum vacuum that is continually driven forward, as it were, by
the uncertain energy (energy uncertainty) of this vacuum. Although different such sets of partial
vacuum fluctuation spectra may periodically or coincidentally couple and decouple from one
another, the coupling of the fluctuations to one another that belong to the same set (partial spectra)
must be fundamentally different in nature from transient cross-coupling of fluctuations between
set (partial vacuum spectra). The brain of each observer as a quantum system resists collapse of
its state vector when itself made the object of another observers act of observation (quantum
measurement).
Because of a fundamental lack of coherence of vacuum fluctuations within which so-called inert,
i.e., non-living/non-conscious quantum systems are embedded, no resistance to state vector
collapse, i.e., inertia is exhibited by the system in response to acts of measurement, but the
manner of collapse is in this case nonetheless determined by the nature of nonlocal, resonant
connection of the object/ systems vacuum fluctuation substrate to that of the quantum observer
performing the act of observation. Some of the inertia and coherence of the partial vacuum
fluctuation spectrum (in which his brain is embedded) is effectively communicated to the system
being observed. The different state vectors that are permitted to result from a given observers
act of observation is orthogonal to any other state vector resulting from anothers act of quantum
measurement. So the orthogonality of the various possible state vectors resulting from acts of
observation may be thought to be closely related to the fact of the orthogonality of the time
directions particular to the brain of each quantum observer (as mediated through each observers
unique quantum energy uncertainty, that of his brain as a quantum system.)

When the observer collapses the Psi function of a quantum system (and all material objects are
constituted by some quantum system or other, with possible exception of the brain itself because
of the non-unitary nature of the brains wavefunction), the would-be infinite regress of quantum
observation is terminated ultimately by the observers act of quantum measurement of the state
function of his own brain together with that of the original external object of quantum
measurement. So collapse proceeds from the influence of a nonlocally connected quantum
vacuum field in which the observers brain is embedded and to which the external quantum system
in conjunction with that constituted by the observers brain has discontinuously become coupled.
This discontinuous coupling of the newly forged nonlocal connectivity of the components of the
composite quantum system to the preexistent nonlocally connected vacuum field, i.e., that
constituting the conscious identity of the observer, which is responsible for the discontinuous
collapse of the Psi function of the composite quantum-object/ quantum brain system. Since a
distinct state vector describes the quantum system constituted by the external object of
observation, one for each distinct possible observer, while the origin of Psi collapse is seen to be
generally materially transcendent, if follows that the consciousness of each observer is irreducibly
unique and distinct from any other while being at once, each of these consciousnesses,
transcendent entities.

The quantum vacuum is constantly engaged in a chaotic activity of self-measurement with these
acts of self measurement being themselves caught up in further acts of self measurement.
Within this self-measurement flux of the quantum vacuum, there is not enduring division of
subject, i.e., quantum observer from object, i.e., quantum system. There are an indefinite
number of such self-measuring quantum vacua.

Any finite quantity in mathematics divided by an infinitesimal quantity is granted to possess
infinite magnitude. A finite quantity divided by 0 is said to blow up. Blow up to what?
It is commonly assumed that such a rational function as say, any finite whole or counting
number divided by zero must represent an infinite magnitude, facility conceived of as simple
infinity. But the above is to assume that 0 and an infinitesimal quantity are generally
equivalent. a/b is a rational number provided b does not equal 0 even though in this very
special case a and b are nonetheless both integers. We might deny that 0 is an integer in
the sense of being a counting number since to note the absence of anything, i.e., saying there are
0 Xs or such and suchs is not to have counted.

If the quantity, a/b where b=0 is thought of as a function of integers taken from two distinct
number lines, then there appears to be no function that generally compensated for the independent
redefining of a and b.
A mere concourse of atoms would have no motive to impress upon another such atomic
collocation the fact of human beings being constituted from a mere concourse of atoms.

The more modern version of the psychological metaphysical truth illustrated by Socrates
questioning of the slave boy about geometrical theorems (an interactive-dialectical process, by
the way) might be to suppose that the consciousness of each individual person is a kind of
dynamical hologram of partial information, embedded in a network of physical traces (c.f.,
Derridas concept of the trace) associated with the mechanism by which recollection of earlier
experiences can be evoked by appropriate sets of sensory stimuli. These stimuli induce a
reproduction or reenergizing of the memory trace networks which causes the consciousness of the
person to link up for a moment with the rest of the hologram, represented by the original
experience that was shorthand-encoded into the brains physical structure, the vast majority of
which is not local to the brain itself but nonlocally encoded in the quantum vacuum in which the
brain is physically embedded. We must distinguish active versus passive recollected
experience-information from possible new experience from experience only possible at a later
time, if at all, from experience only possible for some other mind, etc.

May 2011
One bit of physiological evidence for the morphogenetic field is how the relearning of an
utterly forgotten task comes so much easier than the initial learning of this task. It is as though the
needed interconnections in the brain that formerly supported the physical encoding of the task,
though now withered, have the ability to refind each other, growing together once more as if
guided teleologically by the abiding presence of a ghostly template of those former networked
neural interconnections.

Inertia is mediated by the coupling of matter to locally-connected quantum vacuum fields; is
individual consciousness mediated through the coupling of the brains quantum mechanical
functioning to the nonlocally-connected quantum field? The so-called binding problem within
the philosophy of mind does not encompass as usually stated the subquestion of how the
temporality of the properly bound conscious states are represented within consciousness, i.e., the
temporal integration problem.

The spin of massless particles (usually spin 0, according to the prior art and we maintain always
spin 0) is directed along the direction of motion, while the spin vector for massive particles
(usually spin , again, according to the prior and, we believe, always spin ) orients itself along
the direction of the particles motion progressively, as the particle is accelerated to higher
velocities. This strongly suggests that spin particls also orient their spin in the direction of
motion within spacetime, but that this is not perceived because spin particles, which are at rest
have a direction of motion that is entirely timelike. Acceleration of a spin particle merely
results in the observation of the particles angular momentum (spin ) in progressively
foreshortened Lorentz frames. Spin is the nonvanishing component of a particles or system of
particles total angular momentum, J
tot
= L
tot
+ Stot with L
tot
0. How is spin defined through
the use of commutation relations?

Uncertainties seem to be better behaved than entanglements, c.f., [uncertainties + correlations] vs
[fluctuations + correlations].

No perspective is more confining than the one from which one appears to be so right about
another person.

I can see how absolutely right you could have been about Suzanne and would have been about me,
as well, but unlike the Oracle at Delphis prophecies, knowledge of you prophecy permitted and
perhaps created the possibility for another reality one in which your lofty, highly considered
opinions turn out to be/have been short-sighted. It is a knowledge that it is only possible to have
gained through an exercise of the will rather than through the intellect. Working within the
intellect alone and its associated current state of knowledge keeps one confined to only a single,
projective branch of the ever-bifurcating tree of possible realities.

Interviewer: so how is it that no graduates of your how to be a hero/heroine course ever seem to
receive any sort of medals, honors, etc.?

The Myth of the Oracle tells us about how our fates can become determined through our
cooperation, however unwitting (on the surface) with this fate. One can stay within or move
between ego-centered continua. Staying within one of these means being the creator of it.
Moving one of these means being the creator of it. Moving between means abandoning
recursively structured concatenation of will and intellect by which the ego and its worldview is
validated.

We may, for example, speak of the continuum of Leslie and Suzanne, which has been traversed.

There may well exist a deep inconsistency between a fecundity principle (serving as the input upon
which the Anthropic Cosmological Principle is to operate) and any necessary principle of internal
coherence (and consistency) on the part of the partially self-subsisting entities/creatures that must
also be embedded within some subspace/continuum of the total set of possible continua.
Coherence may dictate the capability of self-renormalization of the state function, say, or some
global Psi of the Many Worlds Interpretation set, the admission of the modal (meta) category
possible-possibles and, hence, of the concepts of metaphysical work and its performance (by
organisms, say, through back-reacting upon their embedding continua/vacua), as well as a further
modal metacategory, that of contingent necessity, and so on. In other words, the coherence of
certain types of entities requires, additionally, coherence on the part of their
embedding/contextualizing continua/vacua. All of the possibilities within the total set must not
possess, as it were, equal stickiness.

Must there obtain a real distinction between laws, e.g., the structure of the physical constants, and
their sometimes fallible manifestations? (as being merely the expressions of relative
probabilities?) Causality as it manifests itself in the phenomenon of coherence and
cohesiveness, say on the part of living organisms, cannot be reduced to a dynamics of change in
relative probableness of pure (or mixed) quantum states.

Sensory stimuli trigger a reprocessing of vacuum fluctuations within a specific spectrum, changing
the configuration of this spectrum in terms of the relative proportion of filtered versus unfiltered
fluctuations. The division of the vacuum into fundamentally distinct spectral classes,
corresponding to distinct individual consciousness (as opposed to different states of a single
consciousness).

There are two distinctly different notions of what is called an open system. One, that of a single,
embedding substrate in which everything inheres but which itself is beyond definition or
limitation. The other, a disjointly different and noncontiguous substitute for each point of
spacetime when one tunnels down into from this entry point downward, as it were and in a
direction away from the continuum encompassing all of the possible distinct starting points for
such hypothetical tunneling or burrowing. To suppose that every interval dimension must
ultimately link up with every other at some sufficiently fine or detailed scale of each is to have
denied the possibility of distinguishing internal from external by subsuming the former within
the latter as a more appearance (to whom, we might ask, however). As we have already stated
on numerous occasions elsewhere, the paradox of an infinite regress threatens whenever we
attempt to understand the temporal integrity/integration of personal consciousness in terms of a
process occurring within consciousness. Rather does consciousness itself appear as the very
activity of this process of temporal integration. Looking at things as they appear in the
frequency domain, this integration process/ activity is that of coherence and cohesiveness being
imposed upon a frequency spectrum of energy fluctuations.

It is the rendering of a spectrum of orthogonal frequencies into one possessing an irreducible
anharmonically (aperiodicity) that in the time domain, conversely, must be represented in terms of
an aperiodic function. So what is commonly termed the flow or stream of consciousness is
either merely a representation within consciousness or it is the effect of continual disturbance of
(perturbation of) consciousness from outside itself.

To paraphrase Pascal, Man is situated between the extremes of Nothing and The infinite. Yet it
turns out, as is tending to appear ever more likely in light of recent developments in fields such as
quantum physics and cutting edge computer science, nothing is the infinite and the infinite is
nothing.

This would place man somewhere on the arcing trajectory of the infinite exploring and fleshing
out its underlying finitude and returning again. This path would not be a circle as this should
represent mere repetition, reenactment and play-acting, but a hopelessly complicated kind of spiral
the trajectory of which cannot be specified by pre-established independent parameters. The
function would, in other words, perturb the space in which it otherwise should have been
represented.

All the wonders of existence within society/culture of being in Gods presence: every glory in the

German possess a built-in connection with one another. Here we are brought to a notion of

God is not a being, nor Being itself, but the precondition of Being itself.

Since light always moves at 300,000 km/sec relative to the quantum vacuum and movement of
massive bodies relative to this vacuum is not possible, i.e., 0, it follows that the velocity of light
relative to massive bodies is always c regardless of the state of motion of said bodies.

It is easy to understand the meaning of the German verb, ausgerechnet, although this word is not
really translatable into English.

A chess expert calculates moves, i.e., looks ahead a number of moves, the grandmaster feels his
way around a position, intuitively, c.f., Chess Psychologist, Reuben Fine, Ph.D. The most
fluently bilingual people are simultaneous translators, although the very signal of ones passage to
fluency in a second language is when one suddenly no longer finds it necessary to attempt
simultaneous translation. The same is true for what we might term fluency of thought. One
achieves it once one becomes free of the necessity of translating ones thoughts into words when
thinking outside the social context, i.e., internal or external. For instance, I became able to think
outside of a permutational/ combinational conceptual framework only in my 30s.

Imagine a chess machine that decides its next move by always keeping its eye on the
won game lines or shortest won game lines or most brilliant shortest won game lines, etc.
for its color, i.e., white or black. Each move would have a virtually infinite number of both won
and lost game lines to which it belonged. Determining a best move appears to come down to
probability given that the computer cannot predict what moves a human player might make. Of
course the machines choice of best move at any juncture would be overdetermined in the literal
sense of there being an indefinite number of won game lines in the down line of that particular
move choice. But there would be almost an equal number (or perhaps even a lesser number?) of
lost game lines associated with that move choice. In light of this, the capacity for abstract
thought seems unavoidable for a machine whos move choice algorithm is to be truly optimal.
But it seems that such abstract categories can only be developed in the light of experience. Does
consciousness obviate the need for the otherwise per impossible teleological fine-tuning?

Jesus is spoken of in the Pauline Epistles of the New Testament as being the Second Adam.
(We should differentiate here knowledge of good and evil by its fruits (actuality/fact) versus this
knowledge in a more abstract and unmanifest sense (potentiality/ hypothetical). There is the
taking into ones mind that which would not otherwise have occurred to one versus the
interpretation of ones spontaneous manifesting of ones true nature by the other/others.

Is the difference between Jesus and Adam merely that one chose to maintain the connection to the
transcendent self whereas the other chose to break this connection?

Fourier analysis suggests to us that there is not one time which flows but myriad times, in fact,
an infinite number of them, all bundled together, and what we think of normally as a single
dimension of time, and what some of the more philosophical of us puzzle over the fact that time
has, or appears to have, only a solitary dimension, turns out upon further reflection to be an
assumption about appearance, which could be further from actually only if time appeared, rather to
possess no dimensionality whatever. This is because a temporality which stretches from
everlasting to everlasting if treated as a time function, must be represented in terms of an infinite
number of functions of frequency.

Two contrasting views of the organization of physical reality is one in which the highest order,
most sensitive and subtle processes are those of the highest order and the other in which the
greatest subtlety of process occurs at the lowest (simplest) order. For purposes of stability of an
order understood as a feedback control system the greatest sensitivity of the system to outside
influences must lie at the highest order and subtlest levels of the systems activity in which the
backward propagation of influences from the higher orders to the lower level orders are
energetically swamped or the simpler processes at the lower levels are informationally swamped
moving upward to the higher order (more complex) levels of the system.

Aging in biological systems may be due to the unconstrained interaction of higher order and lower
frequency processes/activities. Paradoxically, lower frequency physical processes as they
manifest themselves in relatively short-lived biological systems, are not subject to natural selective
boundary conditions. This seems to suggest that life evolved from shorter to longer lived
individuals. Fertility compensates for shortness of longevity, however both are indices of
viability and health of an individual, but not necessarily of a group even species.

Clearly selection must be taking place at levels beyond that of the conflict of individuals within
and across species. A cannot be supposed the cause of B, if B is presupposed by A another
factor C must modulate and mediate the causal connection of A and B.

Contrast the high school/college yearbook phenomenon with the necessity of the metaphysical

The fluctuations in the egos fabric of thought otherwise know as petit perceptions, may well
only possess a kernel principle ( which can always be applied more generally) provided that the
mind proactively seizes it in order to make of it something (which perhaps later will pass the
threshold of becoming self-sustaining/ disseminating).

Compare the metaphysics of the Many Worlds Interpretation of quantum theory with a Many
Consciousnesses Interpretation of a certain theory of mind. Is one consciousness just as good as
any other as an infinitely upgradable subject of experience? How could it be possible to
distinguish the case of multiple egoic structurings of a single consciousness apart from each
distinct such egoic structuring inhering in its own, distinct and individually unique consciousness?
What order of consciousness could have such a distinction within itself as a clear and distinct
idea? Clearly an order greater than that constituted by a posited individual and unique
consciousness among a field of possible other consciousnesses. Such a higher order of
consciousness would possess the ability to track changes to itself that involve its undergoing a
division.

What we have been calling consciousness is actually almost the converse of what would
constitute real or true consciousness. We can only have recollection of consciousness
experienced or intuited through the distorting lens of the various forms inhering in this
consciousness.

The more original seeming are the pronouncements of a balanced and rational mind, the more

It has been said that paradox is just truth standing on its head in an attempt to attract attention.

Without conditions and limitations for the manipulation/ (mani- pulation) of spontaneity,

Such nonsensical confusions of the conceptual faculty occur in dreams as, for example, ones
explaining/ receiving an explanation of the interesting fact that a given phrase in a certain language
means one thing when properly translated into ones own language, but something altogether
different when translated into say, German.

Some outstanding characters, e.g., president Bill Clinton, possess the unique gift for making a
thoroughgoing narcissism appear to be a virtue.

Other examples of the emergence of causality and rationality in dreams: the observance of and
attention to time and time keeping devices, e.g., one arrives at an appointment an hour early only to
find that ones associate has not yet arrived, nor is the establishment prepared to offer one a
table/seat., the frustration of dream character (protagonists) mercurial, impulsive irrational will by
the tenacity with which mechanical, electrical, etc. devices operate according to consistently
logical though unknown principles. A causal remark concerning a developing situation that one
fails to take note of in the present scene reaches a dominant state of development in a later scene,
e.g., a small, heretofore unnoticed particular growth on the side of ones face. Or perhaps, one
has been inserted into a dream sequence with only inadequate funding! The problems of
substance interpreted in terms of the distinction of borrowed versus printed money.

There must be a grounding context, e.g., Mind of God for any informational system, which is

It is an innate and defining instinct of consciousness to appropriate itself as a subject of study.
Clearly if consciousness were a closed and finite system, phenomenon, what have you, it could not
properly separate itself from itself so as to make itself the proper subject of its own study. Such
study seeks the discovery of some of consciousness own objective and independently subsisting
features. Yet if consciousness corresponds to some open and infinite substratum of form and
transformation (substance), then how can consciousness be an object at all? With the operation
of consciousness, analysis and synthesis cannot as distinct categories, cannot be fully disentangled
from one another, that is, in the special case where consciousness investigation of its own
essential nature is concerned.

If the existence of the world is consistent with the being of each and every consciousness, it is only
because the world is equally the product of each and every consciousness, as each consciousness
represents both a possible and an actual unity of the world.

Each consciousness represents an
equally valid unification of Being as does any other (potential unity of an as yet unfinished
existential order).

The index of the truth of a meme is not the information (context-free data, really, since in isolation,
a meme is not part of an information system and so contains no information) contained by the
meme, but how adaptable is the meme (and its data) to the requirements of the most successful
system of memes of which it may form a part and in which it may participate. Nietzsche would
have us believe that the stability of the flux is always internal or internally generated. The flux is
always internal or internally generated. The flux informs itself, according to Neitzsche, in other
words. There is no outside or transcendent vantage point relative to the flux from which an
informing influence may issue.

Sometimes characters within dreams may utter puns and quips the symbolic significance of which
is only realized upon awakening. Also, dream characters may make references to events which
have occurred only in the immediately previous scene even though the dreamers character himself
is caught in the immediate moment of the present scene having totally forgotten that to which the
dream character is referring, again, only realizing this remarkable fact upon awakening and
recollecting the dream in its greater entirety. Dream characters may even repeat or rephrase
their remarks or questions in a seeming attempt to refresh the dreamers diminished short-term
memory or in an attempt to evoke understanding of what the dream character is talking about.
Sometimes blatant logical or causal paradoxes are inserted into the fabric or action of the dream,
the unconscious purpose of which perhaps seems to be that of awakening the dreamer to a state of
lucidity within the dream world itself.

It is an example of a kind of pipe dream with smokeless tobacco and no pipe, or a kind of

On the other hand ones dream character may act within a given scene consistent with the context
of the present scene properly interpreted in light of what ones character has learned/knows
through immediately previous scenes, but failing to notice an important feature of the present
scene that is jarringly discontinuous with his interpretation based upon previous scenes. Ones
dream character may perhaps correct his interpretation, taking this new fact into account, have it
pointed out to him directly or indirectly by a dream character, notice this inconsistency only upon
waking recollection of the dream, or, finally, not at all. This is an intriguing supposition about
the dream reality, namely, that events occur and information processed, connections and
identifications made which the conscious self never shall take note of the conscious self never shall
take not of. Moreover, within the dream attempts are forever being made through scenes and
actors of the dream ot communicate messages to the dreamers dream character, which sometimes
fail, or only succeed partially, attempts at communication that will never be recollected and
appreciated by the dreamer or his waking self.

For example, I have approached as strange residence, gotten the attention of the occupants inside
and have cautiously bade them invite me in. My dream character believes he has somehow
been brought back to the year 1945 and is on some kind of urgent mission, perhaps to warn the
family of some impending disaster. The occupants are a large Hispanic family. I speak with
the head of the household who strangely enough is a disembodied head sitting on a shelf. But
immediately next to this shelf on a back wall is another person whose head is the same as the
disembodied on e through properly attached to a body. So far my dream character is only
imperceptibly alarmed by any sense of things within the scene being out of place. I fumble for
words, finally inquiring of the familys father what year it is and whether or not is it 1945. Im
hoping my question will be not taken as a prank or joke so that the family might properly
appreciate my desperately lost state of being. The father remains, silent not answering, and then
I turn to see an antique television set. I try to correct myself, saying, "Oh, it must be around
1966 or so -am I right? Members of the family answer in general agreement with my guess.

I believe I know the future inhabitants of the house and remark, Im familiar with some of your
ancestors who occupied this house. I intended by this to have said descendants rather than
ancestors. The mother of the family answers me by asking if I know her grandparents. Who
lived in the house 34 years ago. I say no, I mean the members of your family who will occupy
this house 34 years hence. The intriguing observation to be made here is that the dream
character represented by the mother responded to the literal content of my question rather than
what I intended to ask her and which I believed I had asked her.

There has to have always been something since ex nihilo nihil fit. And what better candidate
for such a being than that posited by Spinoza, namely, a substance consisting of infinite

For those who have experienced deep transformation in their sense of in their sense of self and of
the world and its possibilities, there is a strange appreciation for the problematic nature of personal
identity and even of the concept of personhood itself. This appreciation is perhaps founded on a
sometimes profoundly manifested sense of ontological insecurity on the one hand sometimes
keenly felt sense of giddiness concerning unlimited possibilities for the metaphysics of the self.
Through a sense of the radical arbitrariness of the particularity of ones worldly identity comes
sense of ones own otherness as apeiron.

A glimpse of inexhaustible hope and of joy as well as, paradoxically, horror become in this way
available though at once understood as possibly fundamentally inadequate emotive metaphoricity.

Observe that my otherness, not in the sense of its being relative to you as some component,
(definite or determinable or not) of all that which is other relative to yourself, but my otherness in
the sense of all of that which is other relative to the self that constitutes me and my potentialities
and possibilities, is particular or peculiar to me though itself in some important, that is,
metaphysical sense, indeterminate because I am but part of an indeterminate totality
(paradoxically speaking more on this later), and that my otherness includes you as well as
myself as other relative to all others.

But paradoxically and moreover my otherness in this sense is peculiar to myself. Another way
of viewing this is that the unknown (as well as the Unknowable) possesses a rich though
indeterminate or trans-determinate structure.

Ground is multiply indeterminate in the sense of potentially being constituted by multiple acts of
codetermination that are each individually indeterminate and each incommensurate relative to the
other. Ground is only partially unified through these codetermined acts of determination.
Indeterminate ground becomes partially unified while remaining partially a multiplicity of
incommensurate indeterminate grounds of potential unique self-determination.

Ones being is determined infinite or it is indeterminate within God. Ones being is
indeterminate but only along a certain direction or in a certain sense, being in other sense
determinate.

The question arises as to whether each being is uniquely indeterminate through a kind of struggle
between and amongst multiple being, each of which is all ways indeterminate or whether the
indeterminacy unique to each being has been preestablished in some manner.

After the fashion of the constraints of the canonical forms of versification enabling and facilitating
the invention of poetic insights which otherwise would have been discovered only with great
difficulty, by chance, or not at all, we glimpse the possible validity of some principle by which
limitation actually produces an effect whereby the possible is extended.

Here limitation transcends mere filtering, channeling or even structuring but results in a change in
the character of a system that is innately free of limitations of any kind, i.e., an infinite system.

This is presumably because any finite limitation applied to an infinite system must change the
system in some way but altogether without rendering this system finite.

Kants reconciling of the notions of duty and freedom might consist in essence simply in that our
doing something for a reason constrains the time and manner of our acting but makes our action all
the freer because of it. On the other hand, aimless activity is informed by the particulars of
happenstance, animal instinct, temperament, conditioned reflexes, etc. Moreover, ethical action
is not at the mercy of unreasoning feeling and sentiment although many different ethical systems
are possible and the choice of which one submits ones free volition to may be determined largely
by personal preference borne of temperament.

Words are after all only sounds. Because the sounds in our heads form words and the words
combine to form message we assume there must be someone there in our heads speaking those
words. But is it that there is only someone whos listening. Speech is more intention than
representation the listening to it, more the other way round.

We should all of us feel anxious to see how will turn out.

As noted before, the otherness of the other does not usually return us to the self (although, c.f.,
I-Thou relationship) and that even the otherness of all others does not unproblematically lead us
back to the self. (This is a 0-scholarship article in the sense of containing no definite

Consciousness and the Interpretation of Dreams II, an essay topic.

In the absence of revelation, the world becomes a mere closed room filled with things which are
nothing more than they are. On seeming way out of this impasse is the endowing of objects with
magical quality, i.e., fetishization; another is the endowing of the space itself with a
magicalness. C.f., the retired middle class couples Winnebago propelling itself through the
Void versus exploring the inexhaustible riches of Gods Word.

I have always been sort of nonplused by the assertion that time is an illusion. But I finally got
what I thought was a handle on this most paradoxical proposition once I realized that I had been all
during this time under the instinctive if philosophical (and secret, I might add) assumption that by
this assertion we must equate the unreality of time with mere stopped time or with a kind of
halted temporal flow. Of course, such a notion of times unreality should be one the mind
cant wrap itself around as the criticized interpretation of time is an illusion affirms time in order
to make it the subject of a negation. I only freed myself of this self-contradictory acceptation of
the phrase once I realized, all that can be consistently, i.e., non-contradictorily negated with regard
to times reality is, to wit, that 1) time possesses (objective) directionality and 2) time possesses
(again, objective) magnitude, i.e., rate (of flow), and 3) that there might be moreover, no real
subject of temporal change may be considered an additional component to ones most full-blooded
assertion concerning times unreality, though this might really only amount to the assertion that
nothing exists, i.e., that reality itself is illusion - such an assertion must perhaps be seen by all as
self-contradictory, since a certain school of metaphysics that is complete unto itself (though
ultimately false, i.e., the Heraclitean, because not encompassing in its system all of reality reality
as a totality is a distinctly Parmenidean notion, by the way) and so asserts much more than just the
unreality of time. So we see how, on the one hand, the denial of times reality is contradictory.
But there is another sense in which the admission of the reality of time is itself also contradictory
that of conceiving of time as the regiving of totality.

If a totality (as such) exists, it can presumably be given only once. And this, then, brings us to
the notion f time as eternal now or eternal nowness.

Blending and hybridization are in no wise independent of the manner in which the phenomena are
produced (as representations). An example, of this might be the blending of the vocal inflection
s of two persons, regional accents, etc. The hybridizing of the characteristic tones produced by
the different band/orchestra instruments provides another example. Aesthetics in this way
transcends the physical limitations of technology or vice versa, technology opens up possibilities
of representation transcending the subtleties of refined aesthetic judgment.

Anthropic cosmological, fractal, self-reproducing, Many-Worlds quantum universes are a simple
manifestation of it the overdetermined nature, with respect to theoretical descriptions, that is, of
the nature of being.

The predicate oft repeated within Anselms ontological argument is that of none greater than
which can be conceived. This predicate is used by Anselm in a fashion seeming to identify
conceivability with possibility, which, with but a little honest reflection, is at once seen to be the
grossest of metaphysical presumptions.
There are certainly mathematical propositions, for examples, that, though true, are quite beyond
the possible conception (conceivability) of any finite mind.
Moreover, on the view of Existence as constituting a kind of limitation of Being, then even should
existence be granted status as a bona fide predicate, it cannot necessarily be considered to be a
perfection. A Being that can only be contained within existence through limiting itself (in
some humanly inconceivable fashion) is of such a type that it becomes less perfectly what it is by
merely existing. But this grants the possibility of a being that is neither conceivable nor which
is in existence but which nonetheless can be considered to be part of reality. This notion is
consistent with that whereby existence is understood as merely a mode of being.

Every existent is a potential (or actual, in the case of brain circuitry, say) instrument of mind.
This is also true for abstract entities such as mathematical objects, theorems, etc. Psychology as
a feature of the mind/mentality is a conditioned mode of minds functioning and expression.

That which seeks a relationship with us is hat out of which everything is made and which makes
everything. Usually in this situation of the would-be communication between disparate
intelligences there is an interchange between cultures, one more and another less advanced, each
with its own collection of notions some of which are denotative concepts that all members of the
culture (except possibly the shamans or medicine men more on this) take literally and seriously.

Now the superior must find some manner of communicating with the lower (and vice versa).

When attacking, they always leave either their flank or rear exposed. What manner of being in
four dimensions, cast 3-d projections after the manner of these humans?

The horse/horseman metaphor for transmigration and metempsychosis. The more rational
minded point out that Gods so-called Word is replete with images, symbols and metaphors and
therefore is probably just an extended, collectively produced myth or fable. These very same
critics seem not to have asked themselves in what manner might it be necessary for a higher
intelligence to communicate with a lower one, or how a communication gap might be bridged
between minds of perhaps radically different patterns of mental organization?

Presence has two natures, the familiar, that of which the pattern has been keenly etched and
enhanced through repetition; the other, the novel, the strange, mysterious and unusual.

Somehow it is thought by such people that they are immune from prosecution as religious
intolerants if they themselves profess no faith, and yet the very same will blame most of the
carnage of the last twenty centuries on the very same prejudices.

For example, God may well not be a person in any sense presently ascertainable to us. However,
there is nothing to prevent a course of evolution of our concept maps wherein we may come to
recognize the personhood of God. So concept maps are effective in part due to their continuity
with earlier versions of themselves which paradoxically cut across each other though with another
nonetheless continuous.

The continuity of the coherent grounding of topological transformation is an essential feature of
what is called mind.

Such operation of mind transcends substance but not essence.

After all, a given intersubjective spacetime is characterized by only a single topology.

Discuss: relationships among the concepts temporality, topology, computers, chess rules,
connectivity/graphs, group theory symmetry conservation (of substance, of course)
spacetime transformation group; spacetime is spatialized uni-topological continuum
multitopological spacetime?

Where deconstruction and Existentialism intersect and overlap is where the notion of the arbitrary
and convential meaning of all human institutions. Transformation of means into ends granted
ever more signficance with the progressive excresence of culture. Once I reflected upon my
insights into 1) the arbitrariness and even grotesqueness of the human form and physiognomy as
well as of that of the human vocal tract and all the various utterances peculiar to my native tongue,
I at once understood the essential insight of Derrida and the other postmoderns conceiving this idea
of the metaphysics of presence and its deconstruction (and also of the political importance of the
deconstructive agenda/ project). The key to the insight concerning to critique of the notion of
metaphysical presence is that of the dissociative state and of understanding as clearly as possible
the nature and significance of such states.

Is culture is the ground of metaphoricity? But metaphoricity in turn appears to also be
the ground of culture. Bootstrap causality, supervenient causality (top-down causation),
cultural conditioning of metaphoricity, i.e., social determination. Libets experiments held firmly
within the light of the tenacious illusion of free will bespeak supervenient causality.

Paradoxically for postmodern criticism is the probable basis of dissociative states in a
transcendental function of mind. I say transcendental because it should have never occurred to
mankind to question the very foundation and ground of the spontaneous secretion of this erstwhile
forever hidden epistemic ontology of what Husserl termed the natural standpoint and what
Heidegger called Dasein. Somehow Man has managed to surmount a vantagepoint from which
he became able to glimpse sein as Dasein, thereupon detaching, in effect the da from sein.

To progress as a student of the Deriddean metaphysics is at once to embark upon a possible
dangerous if controlled experiment in adopting a schizophrenic bent of mind.

You say all of these things are but abstractions, but doesnt this imply that while reality transcends
all abstract entities and concepts, it also encompasses and embraces them!

It is here that to us is suggested an intriguing if disturbing idea, the psyche that one inevitably
mistakenly identifies as being the self is actually only a secretion of the self in concerted response
to a collection of irritants the combined action of which is never in any particular exact manner
orchestrated.

There is no such thing as a couple representing a match in the sense of mathematical or near
identity. This is because the individual human does not possess so clear and definite a
context-free identity. Identity which is an artificial concept of the representational mode of
being, must always be supplemented by the complementary mode of the participatory, the realm of
Schopenhauers Will, if identity is to truly be realizable. This is an existential notion to be
found in Schopenhauer, if one is intent upon finding it.

Not only is the psyche, human or otherwise, suggestible, but so is Nature herself. If the mind is
itself an artifact of nature and natural processes then the characteristics of mind should be present
in nature or potentially so, or at least there should exist some potential mode of interaction between
mind and nature, initiated by mind from its side, that enables and elicits the expression of such
potentialities within nature.

The stable set of traits and characteristics of the psyche that one comes to identify as those peculiar
to the self are really only artifacts of the psyche in equilibrium with a longstanding environment
composed of stable but intrinsically changeable conditions. It is always possible for conditions
to change drastically or quickly enough for aspects of the psyche (self) to manifest that the person
would not recognize as belonging to him.

We may say that Will is subjective but can become intersubjective, representation starts out as
collective, but may become subjective.

Although the normally constituted human psyche is relatively inured against the suggestion of a
message uttered only once or twice, this same psyche possesses no evolutionarily selected
defenses against the suggestions being firmly and deeply implanted as a result of the message
being repeated 1000, 10,000 or even 100,000 times.

Actions of punishment, the real motive and reason for which being two quite different grounds, the
one, individual and prejudicial, the other social-collective and rational (though perhaps rarely
always, too, from the standpoint of the individual), these two distinct grounds are confused and
produce in us a misguided metaphysical notion of Sin. An act, word or thought can only be
rightly deemed as sinful if it is traceable within proper etiology to pride. Therefore the very
same act may be sinful for one that is not for another.

Conceptual framework that one has inherited serve as a scaffolding on which the individual is
meant to build his own edifice of thought only then kicking away the superstructure of this
scaffolding.

Growth of the Mind in a direction too far askew from that along which one might most quickly
more fully participate in ones transcendent to the selfs proper principle of sustaining itself.

The vestigial impulses which no longer have a direct object of reference may become directed
towards socioculturally enhanced representations thereof.

It is always possible to stumble on a pattern of words that provokes an insight well in advance of
ones intellectual maturity to have freely willed the inadvertently enabled conception into
consciousness, for this reason a peculiar kind of ontological insecurity or complex may at such a
juncture be engendered.

A context-free entity is never engendered.

The word reality does not necessarily refer to a totality and saying so depending upon ones
reasons and motives may be to substitute semantics for sound metaphysics.

Reality is overdetermined with respect to its past acts of determination, underdetermined with
respect to its future such acts, and only determinate in its very moment of its act being implanted.
How could we have expected it to be otherwise? Horseman analogy of the soul/body

Consciousness is capable of being the subject of change, which admits of no coherent or unified
characterization or classification whatever. Such changes nevertheless possess both
cohesiveness and a kind of unity of a non-abstract nature. Changes in the structuring and
dynamics of ground are one thing; a sea change shift in this substantive, underlying ground is
something altogether different.. Consciousness in other words, is naturally equipped to register
stresses, shocks, twistings tearings and rendings of its fabric, the warp and woof of which are
presupposed by any proposed analysis of the form and content of this consciousness whose aim is
the illumination of the consciousness-mechanism itself (in all its mysteriousness). But a
general notion of consciousness would need to grasp what is similar between any two
consciousness, over and above what can be divined from the most subtle and ingeniously minute
analysis of what are merely analogical relationships between the structurings and dynamisms
thereof, of these two consciousness.

The development of such a general notion of consciousness would demand, and this general notion
itself appeals to a hypothetical common ground for consciousness (as such) transcending the
ground of each and every individual consciousness. In essence then an explanation of human
consciousness would effectively invoke the existence of transcendent Deity. On the other hand,
an admission or concession within the metaphysics of mind that each individual consciousness is
irreducible in the sense of arising out of its own unique and individual ground, would be to
promote each individual ground, would be to promote each individual consciousness to the rank of
a transcendental and in some sense, eternally prefigured entity, where each such is therefore
eternally separate and incommensurable from the other. On the first view of consciousness the
distinctiveness of identities among consciousness would be based upon spatiotemporal, contextual
and historical differences and, of course differences in initial and boundary conditions to which
each consciousness is subject.

On this view consciousness is just a passive medium of representation that possesses no active
function. Individual consciousnesses are here different in the same way that the different water
streams of a sprinkler system are separate. In other words, each quantity of consciousness that
happens to be gathered together and subject to the proper boundary conditions of a single nervous
system (that is, one of the appropriate sensitivity) shall perhaps develop the appropriately
recursive dynamic structure that allows it to say I.

Giving man the power to choose the world he lives in without granting the knowledge that Man
has this power renders the greatest justice. This makes Mans choices truly free and not influenced
by calculated self-interest.

Forms of poetic versification function analogously in influencing ideation in at once limiting and
enhancing or amplifying the creation process. Human suggestibility may well be a phenomenon
of metaphoricity rather than being an expression of some intrinsic feature of the human psyche.

The first impulse of self-willing and the emergence of consciousness as a nonfinite, recursive
dynamic are perhaps dual structures (of time and space perhaps that must become fused together).

The overdetermination of consciousness manifests itself in the persistence through change of a
given individual consciousness while the underdetermination of consciousness lies with the
indefinite variety of possible realizable individual consciousnesses.

The simultaneous commonality of environment and language permits triangle people and
square people to effectively be a single people, possessing a single art, culture, science, etc.

Because there is no such thing as consciousness in general or as such which all beings participate
in in common with one another, the being of consciousness is particular only in an analogical sense
and so does not represent any limitation or condition being placed upon any consciousness-at-large
or as-such. In this way two or more consciousness may only interact if each is itself limited
and each of these systems of limitation are networked together but without an actual, direct linkage
between these consciousnesss being engendered.

So the collective limitation of the plurality of consciousness is not the result of their as it were
pressing up against one another within some preexistent common field, e.g., spacetime, but this
common domain or inter-consciousness is an artifact of each consciousness having limited itself
through its own self-initiated action a kind of collective reverse bootstrapping of all
consciousness to produce as artifact, the inter-consciousness realm. Conservation is only
simulated through the defining of spaces enclosed with respect to a set of degrees of limited
freedom while nonconservation (and uniqueness) remains with respect to boundaries not yet
defined. Again, facilitation seems to require limitation (as in construction of concept grounds
within the confines of poetic versification constraints of rhyme, meter, metaphor, theme, etc.)

Concerning the fundamental question of metaphysics: Why is there something rather than
nothing? We may note that should reality not constitute in any intelligible or rational or
objective sense (or, perhaps, in any sense) a totality, then this question is revealed to have been
fundamentally misguided by the implicit false identification of Being with Existence through
another false identification of the two relations, that of identity with that of analogy.

This would perhaps amount to an attempt to reduce poetic truth to that of objective truth. For
one can only reasonably ask something exists rather than failing to exist if the subject of this
question is in some sense definable (as a kind of thing). Of course any thing as a
determinate being both exists and does not exist so long as it exists somewhere and not somewhere
else and we havent yet qualified our question to include the condition of place. So this question
of Why as a metaphysical question about absolute existence or being becomes why something
for which its being is unconditioned has the unconditional being that it in fact enjoys? And this
question is only meaningful if it is meaningful to ask why other beings whose being is
unconditioned nonetheless possess no being whatever. And the only possible answer that does
not appeal to the notion of conditional-ness would be the arbitrary choice of such beings to not
possess or take on being any other account for nonbeing would necessarily invoke conditions for
the beings vacuity.

Existence is always being within which is being with and unconditioned being are being not
possessing existence. All existents are beings (within existence) but not all beings exist, in other
words.

The naturalist would point to the seemingly almost universal availability to a highly developed
state of consciousness to members of the human species as a phenomenon of cerebral cortical
hypertrophy borne of an evolutionary momentum carrying into a late epoch in which the natural
selective pressures in favor of increased intelligence are virtually absent, but which is nevertheless
being sustained through a continued (if not actually sharpening) unleashing of earlier built up
potential via the still continuing evolutionary pressures posed by sexual, as opposed to, so-called
natural selection. But we may equally well choose to view the phenomenon of a hyperdeveloped
consciousness (and capacity for such consciousness) as a divinely providential infinite
upgrade-ability of the mind of the individual human being because it is clear to any unbiased
thinker that human consciousness has already exhibited a state of development far in excess of the
minimal level necessary for the survival and prosperity of the human race as a whole relation to the
competition posed by the other species of the planet with whom we have been forced to share
limited, locally available resources.

Because natural selection never had the adaptation
of the individual in view,
@$
but rather the adaptation of the breeding population as a whole, a great
variety of genes (and higher order regulatory genes) would have been selected for, which later can
be brought together in novel combinations never anticipated by the evolutionary process, and
which nonetheless possess an expression as beneficial phenotypes for the individual offspring.
This points up the rationality of the genetic code, which itself must possess an evolutionary history
predating the emergence of sexual reproduction by at least a billion years! It is this anticipatory
nature of the genetic code, which seems to point to the providence of an intelligent designer, e.g.,
In the beginning was the Word. The interpretation of individual genes in terms of how they
should be interpreted within the multi-level gene regulatory network, i.e., linguistically, while the
assemblage of this network, being based in the self-organizing principle of atomic and molecular
matter, points up the latent, linguistic dynamical structure of fundamental matter as an expression
of the underlying quantum vacuum as creative, intelligent ground of being.

The
incidence of Asperger's amongst the children of Engineers (both parents) is 10x that of the general
population, c.f., Economist magazine. The predisposing high-level regulatory genes are in the
genome because they promoted the survival of the tribe over many 100,000's of years of
hunter-gatherer life and hence were selected for by nature. Humankind came very close to
extinction in sub-Saharan Africa and later during previous ice ages, and the "genetic bottleneck",
c.f.,e.g., mitochondrial DNA studies, is perhaps as small as 15,000 individuals. It is likely
humankind would have already gone extinct had it not been for a limited genetic diversity
informed by the contribution of surviving Asperger's Syndrome behavioral genetics.

@$
Existence can only develop well within the confines set by possible being (coextensive with
actual being when unconditioned or absolute being is considered). But where no totality has been
posited, there is no equating of existence with something that is nothing more than conditioned
being, that is, as just being subject to conditions or limitations.

To reiterate, there can be no accounting for that which is in no rational sense a totality. And this
principle likely applies equally validly to consciousness. But since as we have already argued,
there can be no consciousness as such, i.e., consciousness that is both unified and impersonal,
consciousness must be defined through itself alone so that ironically, it is personal consciousness
which is consciousness as such.

Persons therefore are transcendental beings that only acquire self-knowledge through self-imposed
limitation. Another way to say this is, the distinction of personal versus impersonal
consciousness is merely a relative and epistemological distinction. Ontologically speaking,
consciousnesss are distinct though each is essentially an unconditioned being and the ontological
distinctness of individual consciousnesss represents a transcendental order of the plurality of
being, this plurality only becoming realizable through the various unconditional acts of
self-limitation on the behalf of the various transcendental persons. Spacetime is an
interconnected, dynamic latticework of distinctly originating temporalities. Spacetime is a
linking together of timelike fluctuations into a network that transcends any instantaneous arising of
multiple fluctuations. Each temporality represents the action within and upon spacetime of
transcendental beings, most of whom remain unconditioned. Rational action is collective,
mutually limited action that possesses an intersubjective exchange medium supervening upon the
peculiarities of each individual agent.

Potentiality is a phenomenon of collective, mediated irrational (in the sense of
reason-transcending) action in which irreconcilable differences are set aside or bracketed out.
The ground of rational representation is a kind of universal translation medium the mechanism of
which can possess no rational representation, that is, possesses no coherent description in terms of
discursive, intersubjective symbols. A particular application of this principle is the
transcendental nature of language as such or the irreducibility of linguistic capacity to a principle
possessing a discursively symbolic description, i.e., coherent representation in terms of natural
language descriptions. Language is necessarily, that is, by its essential nature a transcendental
phenomenon of the individual consciousness. More generally, we may say that the acts by
which individual consciousness limits itself so as to enter the concourse of intersubjectivity
transcends all notions conceivable to this consciousness when in its self-imposed state of
limitation. Self-limitation of consciousness is the archetype of consciousness transcendental
activity.

There are no necessary conditions for the archetypal act of consciousness self-limitation since
consciousness in its essence is unconditioned being. And yet consciousness will to act thus (in
initially limiting itself) is all that is sufficient for this act to be carried through (realized). The act
of self-limitation is on necessity a freely perpetual act, in other words.
au=
Aquinas thought that
each angel was the lone specimen of its species since angels were not supposed to possess bodies,
c.f., A History of Western Philosophy, p. 459. This is the exact situation for each individual
consciousness, if imagined free of all limitation and condition. The differences between each
consciousness, as we have alluded to, are facts of a transcendent nature, and such differences can
never be grasped by an individual consciousness, but such truths themselves only possess being by
subsisting within the knowledge and understanding of a being transcending the being of each and
every particular absolute, unconditioned though particular, infinite being. This being is being
itself or universal being.

A natural language description cannot contain an explication of the general nature of language any
more than can a system of logic demonstrate its own consistency. Means moreover cannot
comprehend ends; fact cannot comprehend value; particle physics doesnt explain the fact of
physical existence; form cannot comprehend substance; ideas cannot comprehend consciousness;
no particular can contain the universal, and so on. So that which accounts for existence as such
cannot be a mere existent among other existents, but must belong to an altogether higher, broader
and deeper order.
@$@$
But then this makes it possible for existence to be predicated since it is
seen as a limitation and qualification of being. This casts Anselms famously clever argument
for Gods existence in a new light. Continuing to (maniacally) apply this principle, we must say
that the origin of order itself possesses no determinate order whatever. Order is seen here as a
function of limitation that most generally originates in n act of the unconditioned in limiting itself.

The aboriginal act of self-limitation would have been the establishment of a transcendental order
composed of an infinite plurality of infinite beings, i.e., an unlimited number of things, each of
which is unlimited, i.e., possessing no limitation in the sense that no one infinite being is capable
of entertaining a form within itself that cannot also be entertained by any other such being.
Note that although none of these beings are limited with respect to its substance or essence, each
substance of each such being being distinct from that of any other, that is, peculiar to itself. It is
clear at this stage that God, the author of this transcendental order, is Himself not limited with
respect to His enjoying only a single, distinct essence and substance. Each infinite essence may
be understood as a mere facet or projection of the Deity. Who Himself is the integration, rather
than the mere summing together of, each and every infinite essence.

This is because the transcendental order of infinite essences was not a dividing or fragmenting of
the original Deity, but is a creation by Him of an unlimited number of His images, each being a
kind of host. These images are holographic in the sense of retaining a dim recollection of
themselves despite reduction to occupation of a spatiotemporal realm, which means also being
contaminated by other essences incomplete recollections of themselves. On this view God does
not exist though His facets are imperfectly represented within spacetime and though God
himself is the harmonious integration of all possible infinite being, He Himself is not a being as
such. We might better characterize God as the suchness of all possible infinite being. It is
clear from the discussion thus far that God does not exist because any one of his infinite facets
constitutes a being transcending mere existence. And though each of these divine facets
possesses identity as beings (transcending existence), the identity of each is utterly lost as they are
each and all perfectly harmoniously combined within Gods transcendental nature. In the
history of the human race there are myriad examples of man attempting through religion to
counterbalance his less than supreme position within the great chain of being. If not the
individual person, then his consciousness in its deepest and broadest aspect is of the same
substance as is the Divine consciousness, or man will surely evolve, either collectively as a race or
individually in a spiritual afterlife to a level equal to that of Deity, and so on. We try to
counterbalance in our minds Gods infinitely greater worth by in one manner or another
conceiving of ourselves as in some important way equal to Him! And yet what God has in store
for us in the way of our future evolution in Him is far more than we could ever hope for or imagine.
Were He to give us a glimpse of what it should be like to be greater than what lies within our
absolute potential for being for which He has created us, it would not be in our highest nature to
either want or recognize this. Mans desire to be equal to God is indeed a senseless and
incoherent extrapolation of a purely blind ambition.

This being is infinitely degenerate and perfectly symmetrical. Perhaps each of Gods infinite
facets is itself a perfectly harmonious integration of all of the infinite number of remaining infinite
facets. In this manner God is continually transforming into Himself from out of Himself on an
infinite continuum of harmonics, so that God encompasses both Being and Time. Each
human beings incompletely recollected essence is contaminated as we said by the imperfectly
recollected essences of all other selves. In this way both the individual human being and
Humankind itself are made in the image of God. Christ in His humanity is the son of Man, i.e.,
Mankind, in His Divinity, the Son of God. Christ had access to a greater recollection of Himself
in a way that no individual is capable of, and this because of the absent interference of Original
Sin. When Mankind (through Adam) first realized his identity as a fact of Divinity, he did so
only in part, but mistaking this as a glimpse of his own divinity.

Adam mistook the image of divinity within himself as divinity itself. It is common for the
exceptionally gifted or talented to imagine themselves as perhaps being the most talented or the
most gifted. And most of us, when struck with a sudden clarity of vision concerning some
pressing state of affairs, tend instantly to assume that this must be the insight into the situation.
But there is almost always more than one, many in fact, widely divergent ways to interpret the
meaning or significance of something that appears right and exclusively so, should this
interpretation, rather than some other, equally good (or better) one have fallen in ones head, c.f.,
etwas wunderscheones ist mir ganz eingefallen! This tendency of impulsively presuming the
truth of notions themselves borne of an impulse is surely a characteristic feature of magical
thinking concerning ones faculty of judgment.

Although nature may well have long ago ferreted out this tendency of leaping before looking
where the dangerous sudden challenges of a concrete physical environment are concerned, this
tendency may have actually been encouraged, on the other hand, where more abstract or less
immediate threats are involved.

Of course numbers dont really exist, just their relationships.

We may follow
au=
Leibniz and summarize what has been said thus far concerning God, Man and
Mans relation to God by just saying that the perfected being that is woefully imperfectly
represented by any individual human being is the being of God from a single, confusedly rendered
point of view or from the point of view of one of Gods facets, confused by the confused points of
view, to varying degrees, of other facets of God.

It is a natural assumption that creation ab initio somehow requires greater effort of explanation
than does the persistence through change of this created order once the hard work has been put
behind whatever to which it owes this existence. And this presumption is to secretly invoke the
notion of the world being, in part, indifferent to the passage of time. But if reality is indifferent
to the passage of time, it is always a different and changing component of this reality that possesses
transitory indifference to temporality. C.f.,
web=
<hedweb.com/witherall/existence.htm>
Because the negation of a determinate entity must be an equally determinate, if unbeknownst
absence, very much after the fashion of the physical relation of matter to antimatter, and thus
requiring negation to be within some preexisting system of determinate relations, if such an
operation of negation is to be definable in its effect; the negation of the world would not be defined
should reality constitute a world in name only, being actually indeterminate. On this view,
what is called nothing would be just one among any number of unlimited indeterminate states
and so not possessing the special ontological status usually accorded it within systems of
metaphysics, and so no special explanation is required in accounting for deviation from such a
state as might have otherwise been supposed to be represented by the existence of an actual
world such as the present one in which we asking the question find ourselves. Any limitation
on the part of the unconditioned beyond that required to produce an order shall produce disorder
(relative to the order represented by the first minimal act of self-limiting). If existence as such
is a function of limitation (in its broadest scope), then the explanation of why there is something
rather than nothing lies with a motive or reason rather than with a cause.

Note that if nothing in fact existed, there could have been no reason or cause for this fact,
according to any principle of sufficient reason, that is, without the invoking of being transcending
the duality of existence versus nonexistence. So perhaps we may conclude from this that
there must be some sufficient reason for the fact that something exists rather than nothing since
there can be no sufficient reason for nothing existing other than itself! So the reason for
nothing existing, in the case where nothing exists must be either nothing itself or nothing only
exists (is the case) contingently (perhaps necessarily so). It is not clear what a contingent
nothingness means, however.

If all possibilities exist or are realized, then nothing is
left over as a faculty of creation and imagination in the background as it were. All phenomena
then occupy the same level because everything is present and it is as though there is no longer any
ground for or context of all the phenomena. This is reminiscent of the concept of the
wavefunction of the universe (an isolated wavefunction is not thought to have any physical
meaning in the theory of quantum mechanics) itself composed of myriad correlated and
uncorrelated density fuctions. A similar idea is that of the mass-energy system, composed as a
whole of equal amounts of positive and negative energy such that an observer altogether outside
the system encounters merely a void.

The proposition, Nothing Exists, necessarily though perhaps secretly involves the notion of
nothing as a kind of completeness or totality. If nothing is conceived of as not so much a total
absence of something, but as a kind of backdrop against which something exists or not, then it
follows that the proposition, Nothing Exists is always true regardless of whether something
indeed exists. This conclusion is clearly a misstep on many peoples view because it treats the
proposition as a positive assertion concerning that fact of existing of a reified nothingness. On
this apparently mistaken view, existence is always relative in being always existence against the
background of a reified nothingness. Nothingness can only be consistently reified by
considering all positively existing things as abstractions borne of some limitation within absolute
being. Here thingness is a manifestation of limitation within the monolithic totality of
harmoniously unified being. And here nothingness is identified with the absence of all relatively
existing entities, that is, as the monolith of absolute being in the complete absence of all limitation
upon its being.

The English word, exists is taken from the Latin ex-sistere meaning to stand out.

So in this metaphysics, ruin and decay lead us back to a greater fullness of being and the complete
destruction of the created order constitutes the negating of all original negation within absolute
being through which creation was originally manifest.

The indeterminate is being and nothingness mixed in unfathomable proportions and so
intermediary between them, unless, of course, the two indeed interpenetrate in a way which alters
the substance of both, the equating of being and non-being is the contradiction from which
everything follows.

There has to have always been something since presumably ex nihilo nihil fit, and what better
candidate for this highly peculiar something than that possessing the potential for all things and to
which all things that exist ultimately owe their origin, c.f.,

Of course, if
au=
Parmenides is right (Nothing does not exist!) and nothing has been
reified (made into a predicate) by an invalid extrapolation from what exists, then existence itself
is also an invalid extrapolation to an improper general concept invalid because there is no
outside to existence, which has to be excluded so as to form the abstract category of existence
qua existingness.

Being only transcends the duality of existence vs. nonexistence if
being and nothingness are indeed one, namely, being as such is always apart from mere existence.
Becoming is a change in degree characterized by the participation of both existence in being as
well as of being in existence.

One way of trying to understand the distinction of being and existence might be to observe that
existents change through alteration in the manner and degree in which they participate in being and
the plurality of being. In this way existents become and transform, then ultimately passing away.
The indeterminate functions as a kind of tertium datur here as it is neither a being, nor participates
in being unless it becomes the subject of an act of determination. Is there only one
indeterminate? It seems reasonable to grant this since a plurality of indeterminates is just one
among many possible partial determinations of an indeterminate ground. Perhaps we can bring
some order to the discussion by positing the indeteminate, the existent, and a given being as three
successive degrees of the determination of (indeterminate) ground. On this view, all existents
are composed of a mixture of greater or lesser relative amounts of being and nonbeing. Notice
here that the role of nonbeing is played by the indeterminate.

If we have been correct in supposing that existence is always characterized by limitation (of some
being), then the most we can mean by the proposition, God Exists, is that the Being of God
manifests itself within the inter-subject realm of spacetime, but if we intend by this proposition to
assert that God is fully contained within existence as one existent among the multiplicity of all
other existents within the world, then the truth value we must assign to this proposition is, namely,
false. For God cannot fully participate in His Being by merely existing. Since the fullest
being of the individual human being is only known and vouchsafed to God, it is only through a
relationship with God that one may develop in the direction of fuller participation in ones
transcendent being.

Each being within Existence possesses the spiritually instinctive and yearning desire for that which
brings greater coherence and harmony to its state of consciousness and is naturally attracted to any
belief system, philosophy or persons seeming to offer this. Though there are many systems of
thought and belief capable of delivering on this promise of enabling the individual achieving
higher states of integration of the self, there are many of these which can take the individual along
his spiritual journey only so far, ultimately leading him to a plateau of spiritual stagnation that
once perceived within the depths of this persons soul, triggers feelings of disillusionment in him
and facilitating his fall to a spiritual level in his communion with God and with fullest being lower
than that at which he had with great hope started. Any spiritual progress made by the individual
that is not also accompanied by a growing sense of compassion and humility will lead to this type
of disheartenment and disillusionment. As they say, pride cometh before a fall. Such
persons become bitter and come to covet in resentment, though perhaps only secretly, the joy of
those perservering on a more successful path to communion with God. Those who have taken a
false path to God and who have failed in their spiritual development feel betrayed and can become
a danger to other seekers when this deep bitterness enlists the aid of the flawed wisdom gained
from their now abandoned spiritual path. Pride provokes these poor souls to everywhere attempt
to discourage those who aim for a spiritual goal that they themselves bitterly failed to achieve, c.f.,
the necrophilous character a la Fromm.

God, like nature herself, manifests Himself in accordance with the manner in which the spiritual
devotee or seeker questions and interacts with the numinous transcendent.

Whenever we make the move of reduction of phenomenon to category or reality to totality, we
either sever connections within the system or between the system and its ground, resulting in either
case in a fundamentally inaccurate description of the system or the dynamics of its components.

The proposition para [italics mine] has in it the idea of transmission, c.f., Understanding
Galatians and the Law, p. 16. Take, for example, the following para words: paramedical,
paralegal, paramilitary, paraprofessional, parapsychology, paranormal, paradox, paragoric, etc.
Para in all of the above carries the notion or indication of almost as in the prefixes, quasi, hypo,
sub, demi, semi, etc. However, the manner by which the prefix, para operates within the
above given examples is also deeper and subtler than that connoted by those other, similar prefixes
already given. Para carries the idea of a similarity on account of the development or nature of
some disciplines having been inspired by the method of some proper science or legitimate
process.

The interlacing of subjective and objective (i.e., intersubjective) is an account of the fact of the
necessary mutual incursion of data and information upon one another. A proper understanding
of the self, the Other and the world seems one of a radical ambiguity posed by two equally broad
and deep interpretations of being and existence, an existential interpretation informed by the
principles of evolutionary theory on the one hand, and what might be called an essentialist one
informed by a notion of Plotinean descent, on the other. And if this ambiguity is sharp enough, if
one will permit the metaphor, then but the slightest or most slightly developed bias in one of these
fundamental interpretations or the other puts one on the path of extracting all of the meaning or
desires along one leg of this forking path or the other. One is virtually free, or as free as one can
possibly be while still possessing the integral nature of being-in-existence to choose one or the
other of these hermeneutical paths.

Language is the means by which the enabling of the intellects self-organizational abilities is
marshaled. Language presents the perfect example of that which, is in equal parts, ready to hand
and present to hand.

Reality is, with respect to the forms of representation, underdetermined, with respect to the
operation (choice) of will, overdetermined.

Here consciousness is less than a unity (within existence) while will constitutes a multiplicity.
So reality is both under and overdetermined with regard to theisms being true or not, i.e., with
respect to the truth or falsity of the proposition, God Exists. Whichever interpretation of
reality one chooses, one will find powerful and persuasive confirmation of ones chosen
interpretation. And this is why ones choice to submit to the Will of God (or not, as the case may
be) is a radically free one. It is error therefore to look for merely passively discernible
confirmation of Gods existence for this would render mans choice unto a belief in God a less than
radically free one! God consciousness is, properly speaking, an attunement of the individual to
the divine will and so transcends the realm of representation, i.e., that of forms/ transformations
tending or not to confirm or disconfirm theistic belief.

Grace is the antimony provoked by Being-in-the-World. And this is why the wisdom of Man is
but foolishness to God. Without the reality-filtering action of will, this reality can only manifest
itself to a drifting, passive consciousness as an underdetermined, fantasmagorical display of forms
possessing no stability or integrity. The active filtering of reality by a focused act of willing
reveals the multiplicity of realitys capacity to cohere. William James notion of a Will to
believe is here an exceedingly relevant one. Ones power of choice makes ones will
responsible, whether this is recognized by the passive understanding or not. Will mistakes the
passivity of the understanding for its own powerlessness. You say that it is all a matter of
interpretation - all the more reason for choice being a decisive factor in determining ones reality.

One would otherwise give up ones birthright for the mere price of its asking. And this is
precisely the cynical hope of all of Gods enemies that the victory will be conceded by a more
powerful opponent without a fight easy enough to achieve if ones opponent can be convinced
that he is powerless and that resistance is futile.

The inflicting of physical pain as well as psychological suffering in the form of intense mortal fear,
causes a complete short-circuiting of the cultured artifact which is the victims sense of his own
unique identity now revealed to have been a precarious and illusory aggrandizement of the true,
common denominator identity of a mere specimen of human animal.

Human suggestibility and the ineffability of the subjective nuances of thought and perception
should be understood through the analogy of a hall of mirrors rather than that of a house of
cards.

Such networks of incommunicable nuance contribute to the project (as collective projection)
of intersubjective intersubjectivity as objective intersubjectivity. The subtler features of
humankinds linguistic endowment are bound up in a collectively held, private language-based
superstructure of high level cognitive processing, which had been gradually, (but only in part) in
service to the social (as opposed to psychological) function of interpersonal communication. By
mistakenly supposing that the real goal of the evolution of language and linguistic ability was
largely and primarily that of the development of an augmenting superstructure of perceptual/
cognitive processing, psychologists and linguistics researchers alike imagine, quite uncritically,
that the intelligible verbalizations of a common culture, i.e., those utterances of natural language
speakers must somehow be fully analyzable in terms of transmissible meanings and nuances of
meaning.

This slowly emerging hulk of a new paradigm at once broader and deeper than any which has
come before it, may be understood to be signaled by the supplanting of the representational by the
participatory or involvement paradigm of science. By 2050, physicists will have learned how
to teleport a molecule.

We are familiar, perhaps from the horoscope column of our daily newspaper, fortune cookie
messages, etc. with the phrase, declaration of love, as in, e.g., you will receive a . . . These
are states for the most part internally generated in the unfortunate individual who is convulsed by
the paroxysms of infatuation, c.f., fatuous, fatuity, etc. And the perhaps as yet
unbeknownst to him or herself even more unfortunate person, finding themselves in the path of
one of these what I like to term, protestations of love, should best realize that there can indeed be
little that personally connects them to the true object of the love-struck unfortunates obsession.

Nonetheless, classically forbidden pairings are known to occur, e.g., professional female blue
collar (or even brown collar) male, gay or transgendered persons of the opposite sex, political
commentators of opposite party affiliation, etc. Sometimes odd pairings, when unusually
frequent/ concentrated are whimsically explained in terms of there being something in the air.

Now in the realm of modern physics, all classically forbidden phenomena are ultimately
accountable to the mysterious and spontaneous action of the quantum vacuum fields, what
classical physicists of the previous century might have uncritically termed the ether. But the
exact manner in which these fields bring about their highly peculiar results is dependent to an
extraordinary degree upon the available particular set of initial and boundary conditions in force.

To say that the dynamic is itself determinate is at once to suppose a complete physical description
where only the initial and boundary conditions have been specified without our having specified to
what these conditions must be applied. There must be a residuum of spontaneity in nature to
supply us with the subjects and media of change and so, too, temporality. We are reminded
here of Paul Davies impassioned question, what breathes fire into the equations of physics,
which makes these equations descriptive of some really existing order? Whence arises the
substance, which assumes the forms described by the equations of mathematical physics, in other
words?

The substance, which is the underlying subject of the change, is also the cause of this change, and
necessarily so, for this is just one of the staple metaphysical notions of self-existence and/or
self-moving. Substance, paradoxically, is a nonlocal phenomenon, and this, because existence
is necessarily an open-ended act. We say that a process, physical, psychological, or whatever is
open-ended in this sense of transcending a formal description as a deterministic process if the
process itself participates in the act of existence of the elements of the process (themselves abstract
entities, of course) by virtue of a deeper participation within the act of existence of the very
medium constituting the process and its elements.

And so the notion of substance as universal, conserved quantity is revealed to be an inconsistent
one. There is a tendency for these boundary conditions of which we have so much spoken to
gradually and usually imperceptibly imprint themselves as semi-permanent aftereffects upon the
otherwise spontaneously fluctuating medium which had for a time fallen within their scope.
And the necessary eventual dissipation of such impressed effects never quite succeeds in
becoming a total diminution, but remains encoded in the very fabric of the former host substance.
And this encoding may later become entangled with further such encodings of future boundary
conditions. Substance is not utterly passive as it is usually presumed to be, but different
substances possesses distinct affinities for different types of conditions to which they may become
subject.

One mind seeming to itself inspired by, but really carried on the impetus of some idee fixe,
imagines driving with unassailable logic, straight to its conclusion as though following a beeline,
though greater minds may glimpse a gentle arc forming some portion of a circle in reasoning. If
a flash of insight is always the completing of a circuit in the brain, then it should not be surprising
that there might always exist a vantage point of superior logic from which this flash loses its
dazzle, transparently revealing underneath some inevitable piece of circular (and hence
questionable) logic. But this is not to assert that the conclusions to which insight leads us are
frequently wrong. Bertrand Russell was famous for remarking that the whole edifice of
mathematical thought was nothing more than one enormous tautology. The mathematician, Kurt
Gdel, effectively disproved this disparaging assertion of Russells by showing, via his
incompleteness theorem, that truth is a stronger notion than provability.

September 2011
I have a sneaking suspicion that Gdels Incompleteness Theorem has some important
application to and poses nontrivial interpretational problems for the concepts of initial conditions,
boundary conditions and dynamic field. This in turns suggests that the distinction of real versus
virtual particle/field in quantum mechanics may indeed be problematic, as well.

Culture is the context by which the capacity for meaning in experience is prepared, which requires
temporality and still more historicity, namely the participatory dialectic within temporality.
Esar-hadden, the son of the Assyrian King Sennacherib, made sure to restore the God Bel-Marduk,
restore his temple, and make his piece with the god. Is this a perfect illustration of an instinctive
behavior formerly satisfying an evolutionary societal function, elaborated within or adapted to
historical, cultural context?

H.G. Wells, Outline of History (1961 Edition), error on p. 177 where a date of 3750 BC is
associated with Sargon I.

The narcissist somehow cannot brook the indifference exhibited by those of his habitual
environment of whom he has taken some degree of notice. Rather the narcissist prefers to
imagine that the appearance of an indifferent attitude on the part of such persons is really only a
faade concealing a vascillation between sympathy and active disfavor or even contempt and then
back again.

One important element in the abstract nature of scientific method is the systematic denial of any
possible role of the intentional content of scientific observation and experimentation in the
possible enforcing of, e.g., the principle of the uniformity of nature, etc.

Transcendental unity is just the unity of all those entities that are mutually transcending of each
other. The unlimited development of each entity in no way necessarily threatens to bring one
into contact, coincidence or conflict with the other. This suggests that the otherness of each
entity is particular or peculiar to itself.

So here we encounter the notion of the otherness of the other. This otherness of the other
includes within its scope neither the self not the selfs otherness - here understand the self to
mean oneself or ones self.

Although as Campbell has noted, that religious traditions are patchwork facades of metaphor,
which pose a kind of barrier between the spiritual devotee and his God, these traditions,
paradoxically, also serve at once to conduct the devotee away from the masking realm of
conventional appearances and deeper into the realm of the divine.

Nothing is more limiting of the creative intellect than the tendency to treat metaphors as literal or
denotative categories. Metaphor is an open-ended principle for ordering experience. The
index of intellectual maturity is the facility with which one can penetrate to the core of a
conceptual notion in order to grasp its metaphoricity.

When one first hazards to deviate from established practice and common sense embodied in a set
of, e.g., safety regulations, the mind is focused and the sense of potential alarm borne of a nagging
presentiment of risk all out of proportion, perhaps, to the immediate risk involved in this or many
particular cases. . .

It is like the setting in which a bank officer or treasurer first engages in the occasional embezzling
of petty sums. . . or in the making of a number of small, bad loans to friends, favorite associates,
etc. In the process the mind loses, gradually and imperceptibly, its original focus on risk after
the habit of violating the letter/spirit of the regulations has had a chance to set in and establish
itself.

In the same way that a developing seed must access ground to manifest its latent order, an order
which must be in part other than or transcendent of itself, the act of experience produces a novel
convolution rather than mere continuation of elements plucked from open-ended process.
Abstraction always produces novel sets of relationships, simultaneously discovering and inventing
one another in the absence of a completed (nonlocal) manifold. All illusions (of insight) are
equally convincing.

The unity borne of mutual agreement sustained among incommensurable subjectivities is
necessarily emergent and open-ended.

Any system of representation, if syntactically rich enough, is capable of functioning like a first
language, at which point the inertia of mediation drops away seemingly revealing the naked
content but not before impregnating the represented with some of its still untapped structurally
subtle potentiality. In this way is it seen that there can never be any neat cleaving of the sign
from the signified. We always change what we want to say, saying at once both less and more
than we intended to whenever we resort to the mediation of discursive symbols as well as a
particular genre of speech (rhetoric).

All determinate perceptions are based in an original confusion and ambiguity, which at some
crucial point had to be resolved along particular lines.

Bohm says in Thought as a System, p. 138, that, I think, that matter may be unlimited in it
subtlety. It seems the only viable alternative of unlimited (i.e., infinite) depth and/or subtlety.

The term, reified abstraction presumes that there is some necessary and important distinction to
be drawn between an abstract entity infused with or subsisting in a substance or substances
(plural) versus such an entity devoid of all substantiality and hanging in thin air (or in, if you
will, the minds eye.)

My open-ended, under-determined (or overdetermined) email communications to Suzanne and
others are partly intended to illustrate the little discovered fact of the possibility of a broader and
deeper form of communication (or metacommunication) in which memes or rather protomemes
can be exchanged between two persons and their psyches brought into a closer and more
productive alliance/ interrelatedness, but without either person having made any commitments or
irreversible commitments to the use of particular sets of determinate concepts or to the
adherence/subscription to similarly deterministic sets of values/judgments.

This form of insinuating, metaphorical-laden, risk-taking manner of communicating is intended to
stimulate a sense of physical contact, if you will between two normally distantly separated
minds. It is a form of communication evincing some of the dynamic of a dance. Further there is
a sense of pushing, pulling and grappling of the two actual beings deep within the control rooms
of the minds of each. Communication between two intellects is always an illusion as intellect
itself is just an adaptation and a tool. The intellect as present to hand contains within itself
deep divisions. Intellect as gear or as being merely ready to hand makes of all
communication a game of the exchange of metaphors between two animals engaged in, e.g.,
courtship rituals, combat, social bonding, establishing a social pecking order, etc.

Saying that secretly all concept is really metaphor undermines the heretofore allegedly long
established meanings of both concept and metaphoricity itself. But if concept and
metaphor were already secretly undermined (objectively inadequate) as such, then how could
the above described deconstructive collapse of meaning be brought about, unless the notion of
deconstruction was itself already secretly objectively inadequate (as representing its own action,
not in its de facto acting upon some system of concepts)? Deconstruction is just as much a genre
that necessarily invokes the use of rhetoric/ rhetorical devices/tools and praxis to bring about
(rather than coherently represent) these collapses weve been referring to.

Metaphors permit us to describe to others insights that we have yet to experience in determinate,
crystallized form, as well as for them to respond to these in a fashion coordinated, in turn, in the
absence of determinate notions on their parts.

I experienced an unusual form of lucid dreaming this afternoon. It involved a sort of out-of-body
experience, as my eyes were wide open as I lay on my right side. I could see that my hand was
still within a book I had fallen asleep reading, but I could not feel any hand inside the book, rather,
I was at this time able to seem to lift my hands and forcefully clap them together.

Although I could still see my real hand in the book, numb and useless, then I actually succeeded in
rolling over on my other side and almost falling out of bed. I did this even though I could see that
I hadnt really moved at all. I was still lying on my right side, looking at my hand still inside the
book I had fallen asleep reading. I was actually consciously aware of both sets of experiences
simultaneously, and my very stream of consciousness seemed to have actually succeeded in
bifurcating. Perhaps one of my cerebral hemispheres was almost completely awake the other
asleep and still in the midst of a dream, and a lucid one at that! Combined with my other
experience of having had a dream experience of a flash of blue light that produced a retinal
afterimage persisting many seconds after being startled awake (by the blue flash actually), Im
beginning to suspect that Im starting to show signs of incipient schizophrenia. I think it is
chronic high doses of the amino acids, L-Arginine and L-Ornithine, which are known to be
powerful growth hormone releasers. What was recollected as a bifurcation of consciousness was
only a representation of such perhaps within a much more unified overarching state of
consciousness, hence the schizophrenia was only an illusion.

Some principles are broad and deep and actually succeed in encompassing particular cases, the
connection to which we can only recognize in retrospect; some simulate prescience by altering or
further determining themselves as the field of their domain expands far beyond original
demarcations, acting like a proactive and responsive matrix into which each new particular plugs,
as if by a predetermined snapping in, and others possess an almost uncanny capacity for
self-extracting.

Does the objectivity of other minds erode the distinction of subjective versus objective? This
brings to mind the distinction of the other of the other versus the other of the self.

The body of her son had only now been placed upon the pathologists table whereupon the woman
was to view the body in order to identify it. The pathologist lifted the sheet and the woman upon
viewing her son identified him without showing any visible reaction and remarking more to herself
than to the pathologist, why is his. . . uh. . . so large? The medical examiner with dark humor
muttered, where both of you are going, it is a detail of which you are likely to form the most
intimate acquaintance.

Only because I had always anticipated someday encountering a woman like Mary, was I able even
with some difficulty of repulsing the effects of her notable charms upon my wavering judgment.

Let emptier vessels grouse for filthy lucre with which they would, they believe, happily fill

The philosopher does not merely passively receive ideas and experience through a socioculturally
predetermined set of perceptual and cognitive filters, but tends to critically assess the operation of
such inherited systems of processing the data of both sense and reason.

The ordinary man on the street does not attempt to develop and experiment with new ways of
processing these data but merely absorbs by osmosis as it were patterns of preprocessed data
perhaps adjusting by trial and error as needed the manner of applying them.

If Man the animal is but the product of blind, evolutionary processes, then why is he himself not
blind, i.e., spiritually stumm as it were, namely bereft of consciousness? As Schrodinger
remarked, a world without consciousness would be a play-acted out before rows of empty stalls.

But the logic of mimesis is anything but blind. And we might unassumingly suppose that pure or
unadulterated mimesis constitutes the prolegomena of all metaphor however general so that the
extension of metaphor to its formally conceived ground as pure mimesis reveals at once mimesis
as an abstraction from the concrete ground of metaphoricity and therefore metaphoricity itself as
both or at once open-ended and recursive, i.e., as consciousness in its essence though transcendent
of all formal categorizability.

Think of these deeper levels of metaphor as analogous to the harmonics, which, though not
individually distinguishable or consciously perceived, nonetheless produce subtle interference
effects upon these harmonics to which the tympanic membrane of the mind is sensitive.

Just as conceptual thought presupposes metaphoricity, all consciously uniphonic productions
presuppose latent polyphony. Pure unity will not stand out: will not mani-fest, i.e., remain
fast within or against the many.

This analysis of the concept of pure mimesis may be extended and applied in turn to the upstart
discipline of meme theory. The structuring of protoplasm, progressively more complex with time
as mediated by the interplay of Monods chance and necessity with the cohesive structure of the
genome (gene-nome or gene-law) culminating with the advent of consciousness may perhaps
be paralleled to a similar evolutionary process involving the meme structure in bringing about the
first appearance of the ego.

Rather than the Scriptures representing the transcription of the revealed Word of God, we say that
the evolving Scriptures reach a critical level of coherence and complexity whereupon the
revelation of a notion and intent is facilitated through these texts. Religious memic structure
evolves, in other words, to a plateau where divine revelation is enabled and the genic structure of
matter evolves to a level on which the enabling of egoically structured consciousness takes place.

And although the correspondence truth of a given religion or belief system, with respect to these
smaller particulars, subject as they are to evolutionary tinkering, may always be discounted or
called into question; this process having served the larger consideration of the overall or essential
correspondence truth of the particular belief system in question. For example, although the
particular boundary conditions, necessary for the fusion of living substance into a coherent,
intelligent system, themselves having evolved in basic accordance with the principles of
Darwinian theory, the set of conditions, sufficient to bring about this fusion, certainly include
those attributable to a coherent dynamic, constrained and conditioned only internally, through the
action of fits own individual essence, when and where it has not yet protruded, or projected itself
into, the domain of boundary conditions and limitations.

Because the mentality of the intelligent organism can only develop through its interaction with a
society and culture, there seems to be no real possibility of properly simulating this development
through the mere downloading of instruction sets into the gray matter of one of these organisms.
What the organism uploads to its social culture, and how this culture responds to this
information, imparted to it by the organism, also plays an important role in the
psychological/intellectual development of the organism. In short, the programmer must become
actively and mutually involved with the machine they seek to in-program intelligence. But,
of course, the programmer is necessarily substantively charged in the process.

We may think of consciousness as the ground of representation that prepares itself.
Consciousness spans incommensurate texturings of and within itself. Does this suggest that the
unity of consciousness transcends all possible forms of continuity (as well as contiguity)? How
would this question being answered in the affirmative condition our understanding of the notion of
consciousness plurality?

The subbasement of the antechamber to the minds sunnier productions. . .

If the unity of consciousness transcends that of the individual person, then are we to admit here that
there is no possible barrier to the dissolution of the self upon similar dissolution of the boundary
conditions to its transcendental dynamism? We cannot arrogate this dynamism (or its logic) to
the temporal self.

The sacrifice of Christ was necessary because God wished to create other free souls who would
choose to love, worship and serve Him. Nothing risked, nothing gained. Our attempts to
penetrate the mysteries of Christian faith are doomed, so long as our attempts toward
representation/correspondence rather than will/coherence. Deconstruction of deconstruction.
Derrida presumes presence in order to deconstruct presence, and so deconstruction is in reality no
critique, but mere usurpation that is politically motivated.


I like to consistently apply the principle, no one is great, nothing is great, except He who made
me.

These representations can be stimulated passively but without the participation of intention, there
can be no associated meaning.

Somewhat reminiscent of Humes complaint that nowhere could he ever catch a glimpse of
himself, we note here that although consciousness is necessary (as a kind of embedding ground)
for the entertaining of conscious experiences, consciousness is not itself actually a quality (or
quale) of said experiences consciousness is not contained within experience, but quite the
contrary of this is true, we deduce, rather, the presence (or existence) of a conscious state (in both
the case of oneself and in the case of another) through the witnessing of willed or intended action.
Experience that is conscious, in other words, is experience within consciousness.

On just this view even thought is conceived under the rubric, action. I am also
reminded here of the scene from the movie, War of the Worlds, when a captured Martian
remote or robotic eye is energized and the recorded images it casts before astounded
onlookers are commented upon by the clever scientist demonstrating with the device in
effect that this is the way a Martian sees us. The very oddness of the distorted
brightness and color evinced by the reenergized images (which is, of course, a distinctly
human perception, is completely entangled or interfused with the allegedly more objective
properties of the brightness, and color themselves (in addition to, e.g., luminosity, contrast,
resolution, etc.). And so, the comment of the scientist is rather hopelessly stuck in nave
realistic, and therefore to him hidden, assumptions (about the character of a certain class of
Martian conscious states).

Just an expert and judicious stimulating of the brain of a newborn infant and consistently
conducted into adulthood, all the while excluding the input of energies conveying sensory data
from an actual outside world, could not possibly permit the proper development of a normal and
reasonable internal model of the structure and dynamics of objects, their contexts and causal
relationships, which inhabit an independent external world. And this provided also that the
environment is not permitted to respond to the developing infants responses to mock external
stimuli. Intention and consciousness must develop more or less in step with one another. And
this is perhaps because each necessarily invokes the other function in carrying out its own
distinctive action.

We should recognize that the breakwater represented by a paradigm shift poses just as much of an
obstacle to forward-looking thinkers desiring to glimpse the essence of seminal discoveries of the
future as it does to historians of thought attempting to characterize the intellectual environment
prior to and fomenting the advent of such paradigmatic shifts.

The particulars of a faith adjust themselves over time under the influence of both chance variation
and mutual feedback, promoting their coherent interlocking within the particular sociopolitical and
cultural context in which they are to thrive.


I saw a bright blue flash in a dream, suddenly awoke, opened my eyes and observed an afterimage
of a glowing, semitransparent blue patch of light for between 5 and 10 seconds. Does this mean
that my retinal cells were powerfully (and actually) stimulated with energies generated deep within
my sleeping brain? Does the circuitry of the brain orchestrate the turning of the bodys energies
to the coextensive and collocated vacuum fields of the seemingly affected body parts/ tissues?
So during a dream, somehow the patterns of stimulation, normally engendered from the influx of
sensory data tied to energies impinging upon the various physical sensory receptor cells from the
outside world, are in essence properly reproduced from orchestrated internal, e.g., neural,
resources connected to the components of the brain responsible for primary or secondary stage
processing of various modes of sensory data. What is interesting is that these resources are
connected from the internal rather than from the external side of these sensory processing
components.

It has always been tacitly assumed that the correlations existing between or exhibited by vacuum
energy fluctuations, i.e., purely timelike or imaginary momentum fluctuations of the quantum
vacuum, must have somehow originated (the correlations themselves, that is) with real
momentum fluctuations somewhere within the past light cone of the vacuum energy fluctuations in
question.

Any mechanism explaining this, consistent with general relativity (and causality), would
necessarily the self gravitation of the quantum vacuum, such that, globally at least (nonlocally also
perhaps in the quantum mechanical sense), both locally real and imaginary momentum
fluctuations would possess a mixture of time- and space-like components.

Depending on which protein one chooses to trace a distribution for, one deduces very different

Infinite degeneracy of the vacuum state means that an infinite number of distinct vacuum
configurations corresponds to say, the same energy of 0. But what about the case of a vacuum,
infinitely degenerate with respect to all physical observables? How could we meaningfully
speak of these infinitely many vacuum configurations being distinct? With respect to what
parameters could these degenerate vacua be distinct, if differences between or changes in them can
never register in the form of correlated difference changes to some valid, physical observable?

Truth may subsist in an implicit, unprocessed form prior to experience establishing a context.
Matter continually being reconstituted out of quantities of vacuum energy undergoing tidal
flows would be observed to accelerate in a manner appropriate to this matter when experiencing a
tidal force.

Realize that there is actually nothing present in the component of the vacuums total energy
density wherever the real (spacelike or timelike, depending upon ones method of definition,
i.e., relative or absolute) and imaginary (similar definitional proviso as above).

The densities (of perhaps only the unbalanced component) of vacuum energies at two distinct
locations may account for two distinct rates of time passage. And even though the density of
the vacuum energy is globally decreasing on account of the cosmological expansion, nevertheless,
no alteration in the strength of gravity or of the magnitude of the gravitational constant need result
from this. An example should help to illustrate this. Say that the density of the relevant
component of the vacuums energy were 10 parts at point A and 100 parts at point B, further away
from a strong gravitating source. According to our simple equating of the relative vacuum
energy density to the relative rate of time, if you will, during a given interval of cosmic time, if
the density of the vacuum energy at point B has decreased to 90 parts, then, according to our
simple relationship between density and time rates, the density of the vacuum energy at point A
shall have decreased to 9 parts. Here we see that the relative difference in vacuum energies
between the two points has changed from a relative difference of 90 parts to one of 89 parts.


Certain culturally based truths pertaining to historically context-sensitive realities, such as those
from the economic, political, or social spheres, are truths for which the way had to be prepared and
which could not possibly have been arrived at through reflection, say, on the part of some
particularly gifted Stone Age thinker. The basic elements of conceptual thought would not be
in place and available for application in the forming of still more processed conceptual structures.

Now if it is eventually discovered that the Universe itself is shot through and through with
evolutionary change to the extent even of variations, however subtle and complex, of all the known
physical constants, then what we have just stated about culturally based truths should apply, also,
to all of the truths we might propose to investigate, apart, perhaps, from mathematical truths and
these themselves may turn out to be questionable as truths of absolute and unwavering certainty.
But along with Descartes, we must note that all of this interrogation of truth takes not at all away
from the fact of the consciousness that is engaged in the act of questioning truth.

What is called unknown is relative to the comprehending mind in question, however, is this
mind ultimately one and unique such that the unknown is in some important sense itself unique and
perhaps also unified? Or is the unknown itself plural because mind irreducibly is?

The power of metaphorical language consists in the fact that neither speaker in a pair of
communicants needs to have a correct comprehension of what either is saying for a net
communication to have occurred even one placing both into a collectively more highly ordered
state/cooperation.

A discontinuity say, in a text, is both highly suggestive and indeterminate like a potential barrier
both encouraging and discouraging quantum tunneling. Both under and over determined
communications.

Consciousness, being nonspatial, (but inherently temporal) seems as likely as any other to be the
anchoring or fulcrum point for the dynamics of the action of the gravitation which is the movement
of reality away from mind, i.e., from the temporal to the spatial through the diffeomorphism of
progressive and continuous Lorenz-booting of momentum-energy manifesting itself as
gravitational attraction.

Consider the possibility of a cosmic time direction associated the direction along which the rate of
increase of global entropy is maximal. This is to be contrasted with the direction along which
the local rate of change of entropy is maximal. One can also consider the time axis defined by
the direction along which the sum of the local and global rates of change of the entropy is maximal.
Here we should identify the global with the nonlocal in the sense defined within Bohmian quantum
mechanics.

Consciousness determines the holistic conditions that in turn determine actional motions of will.

A manifestation of a higher truth transcending the dual opposition and this higher truth is just the
above statement, perhaps.

Indecision is combated through a cognitive mechanism of the individual consciousness. This
cognitive tendency is quite the converse of the suggestibility of the social self.

Most people never articulate the metaphysical elements of the paradigm informing their religious,
political, and ethical beliefs or opinions. If there is any freedom of thought for such persons, it
must be within that paradigm.

Communication between persons or across the generations and through texts, for example,
requires the sharing of context at some level.

There are an unlimited number of contexts suggested by the interpretations of passages viewed in
relative isolation.

The set of intelligible propositions ought to be smaller, perhaps belonging to a lower order or class
(in terms of magnitude) than the set of intelligible interpretations (propositional
contexts/motivation). By far most propositions have not motivation whatever for our
asserting/entertaining them.

Can a love-infused everydayness prevail over theoretical insights borne of searching questions?

There is local storage mechanism for handling discursive, object-oriented data which has a
rendering in the form of patterned, neural firing circuits. All other information, not locally
storable as a whole, should not be stored piecemeal as this would cause interference or disruption
of functioning of local memory circuits. With the advent of an agricultural based, stable
civilization, selective pressure for this mnemonic filtering mechanism was much reduced, and
nonlocal, insight-based information could now be accessed more generally by the individual tribal
member. So only nonlocal, individual consciousnesses transcending information was placed
into nonlocal storage. Nonlocal realm is beyond space and time and therefore beyond
individuation, c.f., Schopenhauers, Will and Representation. Without an individual reference
for the information, it could be combined with that from other sources. So is individuation by
reference only and therefore a mere abstraction.

Consciousness is just context of object and would-be objects, this context must either regress
infinitely or bootstrap itself. The bootstrap structure would be infinite and bounded.
Somehow multiple bootstrapping from a single, unitary process is logically inconsistent.

The depth and breadth of the meanings that we find ourselves faced with contemplating are such

exists in the sense of the act of existing. What is indifferent to the passage of time (untouched
by change) commits no act of existing. But is Being itself founded in an act?

The individual person, developing within the realm of individuation, i.e., space and time, begins
from a relatively amorphous, inchoate state, and gradually becomes more highly ordered, after the
fashion of a crystallization. There are always two distinct ways to understand this incipient,
inchoate state, namely as being either underdetermined or overdetermined.

The just so stories of evolutionary theory explain the tinkering but not the coherence and
robustness of that which is tinkered together. If the DNA molecule did not embody an
intelligible code and one possessing multiple, and perhaps unfathomable, levels of description, we
might suppose that a sufficient cause of evolutionary order might be embodied in some
exhaustive set of purely external conditions. But this would be to forget that the external
so-called, is at least partly constituted and ordered through the action of one of its crowning,
alleged products, i.e., the human brain.

Bertrand Russell said that physical laws describe how nature happens to behave, rather than
governing any thing. But can Russell really be right? What about the physical laws
describing consciousness producing/structuring systems? A description that acts as an
interpretative metaphor and as a seed or kernel in grinding and being guided by the
theory-experiment observation cycle can hardly be the passive knowledge structure as described
by Russell. The message as interpretative metaphor (itself caught up in the dialectic of
interpretation/hermeneutical circle) occupies the opposite end of the communication spectrum
from the animal produced signal, which merely enables a predetermined, programmed, genetically
determined instinctive response.

Instinctive itself is presumably still evolving so we should expect there to exist some variation
(very wide, across a sufficiently large population or instinctual makeup within humankind.

On account of the spontaneous potential of the human will to cause quantum state vector
reduction, the action of will (or conscious intention) cannot be determined through the
deterministic evolution of some quantum mechanical wavefunction, e.g., that describing the brain
or subsystems of the brain, etc. of any potential human observer.

Comparing our general state of consciousness as we conceive of it (within our present
consciousness!) nowadays with its general state of say, 10 years ago; this difference appears to us
as one of distinct patterns of texture infused knowledge and our present state of consciousness is
informed by experience not possessed of the former self, just as the former self is possessed of
understanding and conceptions, though somehow relatively narrower, themselves informed by
experience in many cases largely forgotten by the present self. However, such a comparison of
two states of consciousness, both sufficiently removed in time from the present one which
contemplates them, as well as sufficiently so removed from each other, has the feeling and
suggestion of two states of consciousness not only differing in the knowledge and experience
infusing/suffusing them, but also of possessing distinctly variant substances/being.

We should qualify Schopenhauers assertion that individuation presupposes space and time by
saying rather, that this ins true for infinite individuation only. Mathematically, any finite
division of the unitary (or unified) infinite may itself constitute a finite number of distinct infinities
(distinct only with respect to the particular manner of the dividing each of which remains unified
presumably along an (infinity n) number of potentially distinct lines. In some sense,
therefore, finite division of the infinite makes for no real division at all.

If order did not descend from the infinite through qualification (downward-telescoping and
therefore grounded/contextualized), then it ascended from not nothingness but from chaos.
What are the moral and ethical implications of an order out of chaos theory of order (creation)

Is all social interaction grounded within some kind of spell or momentum, and is the goal of the
responsible/practical realist simply to enhance and extend the duration of lifetime of such
momentums, the ending of which we recognize via glimpsing the decay, collapse or undermining
of the sustaining ground of a meshwork of boundary conditions, e.g., social, political, economic,
cultural, linguistic, etc.?

Here we have the notion of internal versus external distincguishability. If the consciousness of

levels, may be identified.

Do the objects of the imagination ever acquire any kind of independent, mental existence, over and

Truth that is unified may surely only be grasped by an infinite may surely only be grasped by an
infinite or transcendental mind or, shall we say being. This being, grasping the unified truth that
is, by thus encompassing it, must be beyond it, and so such a being is beyond unity, beyond being
itself unified and hence the plurality of transcendental being.

Can truth be a unity, when one among the truths it subsumes is just that there is more than one truth
at least two equally valid senses of truth must then be possible, one transcendent and myriads
immanent? In consciousness, there is no limit to the unity of truth.

We readily accept indeterminacy interpretation of classical counterfactuals, e.g., prevented
accidents (say, through adoption of changed industrial operational procedures) during a
companys last reported fiscal year, etc., but we seem to have difficulty in grasping or accepting an
indeterminacy-based interpretation of quantum probability amplitudes (for events that actually are
observed) as being somehow radically counterintuitive. Do so-called actual events, possessing a
probability of unity, i.e., 1.0, have some special ontological status vis a vis events possessing
probabilities falling in the interval 0.0 < x < 1.0. And what about events with probability = 0.0
special ontological status here as well?

In the absence of sufficient boundary conditions, an amplitude cannot even be defined. The
dynamics of the real proceeds with or without boundary conditions. Does this make of just an
accounting device?

A dissertation of the buddhistic notion of monkey mind may be in order at some stage.

The Word ~ Monotheism (Polytheism, with Monotheism as a special case?)
The Breath ~ Pantheism, but consider that the breath may either be imbued or not with
resonance. Resonance of the breath presupposes that it is subject to some set of finite
boundary conditions. Perhaps this is a good example of metaphor guiding rather than leading
us down a garden path. So what literal entity is suggested by the metaphor, breath without
resonance?

If the quantum state of the observers brain and the quantum state of the system observed are
merely in mutual superposition, then how can robust, stable and cohesive (as opposed to merely
coherent) objects manifest themselves? Would not continual feedback, i.e., mutual
participation of these two quantum systems, one objective and the other, subjective, disrupt
this superposition, converting it into a statistical mixture?

Intersubjective between subjects and subjective ~ between a subject and the non-subject.

On account of the spontaneous potential of the human will to cause quantum state vector

deterministic evolution of some quantum mechanical wavefunction, e.g., that describing the brain

The cognitive filters (representations) that we implement in investigating nature influences the
representations through which she answers back just as does the manner in which we act upon her
influences the manner in which nature reacts to our probings.

Coherence is composed of two parts, attract, binding to, or communication with a center on one
hand and repulsion, disconnection or insensitivity to an outside realm. An unlimited number of
distinct structurings of the individuals consciousness.

But how does consciousness register within itself the various modifications that it undergoes
(caused by both itself and that which is other than itself) without at the same time undergoing an
alteration in its self same identity.

The phenomenon of quantum mechanical tunneling is probably far more general than just the
tunneling of a particle through a potential energy barrier larger than the particles classically
determined kinetic energy. We may speak of an entire quantum system tunneling from one
state to another in which the potential is abstract, i.e., of some kind other than that of the
original context, that is, energy. Perhaps some kinds of thoughts are of deterministic origin, i.e.,
reducible while others are not, i.e., nondeterministic and irreducible. Perhaps all sins of
commission are at some deeper level of description really of the omission type. A sin is
committed through the failure of ever higher levels of will and consciousness to properly channel
or stifle, as the case may be, some action prompted by simpler subsystems of the psyche or their
lower level coordination.

If the differences between individual consciousnesses, or between whatever makes for these
differences, cannot be overcome in the sense of such differences subsisting within some larger
category (than that constituted by each, individual consciousness), then the distinction which we
have supposed subsists between the mental in general and the physical in general becomes
problematic and unsupportable.

If distinctions are the products of cognitive-rational-linguistic processes then these distinctions are
the traces of acts of abstracting and categorization subsisting within a domain in which such
differences are naturally overcome. But such cannot rightly be supposed to be the case where a
distinction of ontology (or being) is concerned.

A distinction of this sort which readily suggests itself is that of physical versus mental.

Clearly the number of potential human minds is vastly greater than is the numer of actual or
perhaps even the number of possible human brains. This being the case, we might wonder how
the selection is effected of the particular potential human mind that becomes actualized from
amongst those equally viable candidates upon there being instituted some particular actual,
functioning human brain-physiological structure.

Do the candidates decide among themselves which will answer the call to take up a residence
within the space and time of this particular human existence? And how might we suppose that
the individual candidates could know that each belongs to the same class, as it were, in order to
identify with whom to convene? Is decision ever reached by each and everyone concerned not to
form from among their number any connection at all? We have been assuming here throughout
that a human brain must always be degenerate with respect to some class of individual
consciousness.

So here we have unwittingly invoked the notion of class within the field of choice (participation)
as opposed to that of representation. Abstract representation is the domain of rational
consciousness, participation that of the will. AS the historical working out of arbitrary will is
interpreted through representation of the collective rationality of the (irrational) individual
metaphor is transubstantiated into concept.

Equivocation of sense is the foundation of both what is insightful as well as nonsensical in the
process of creative thinking, and moreover by pointing up the determinative influence of inherited
linguistic structures common to both performances, inadvertently demonstrates the necessary
transcendence of language by thought which is inspired as opposed to misguided.

So metaphor guides thought to greater heights as much as it influences the production of
misguided thinking. And so although metaphor may still be supposed to constitute the substance
of mind, both rational and irrational, the substance of reason may, paradoxically enough, be both
broader and deeper than that of mind as such even though reason clearly appears to be but one
among many of minds diverse functions! This may be because reason is only a function of
mind by virtue of the minds invoking of reason.

The essence (or substance) of consciousness is metaphor. The application of conscious, i.e.,
will, is free because there can be no rule or law governing the conceiving of a metaphor other than
the fancy of a particular person, subject but not determined by the conditions in which the person
finds himself.
Examples: the skeleton guides the development of the softer tissues, and so on, e.g., the blood

If evil is nothing more nor less than the notable absence of good, that is, the absence of good in
situations where we have come to expect its appearance, then vil becomes reduced to an abstract
category subsuming all posible instances in wihc good is not resent. But this still leaves open
the possibility that good itself might still be something more than a mere abstraction, namely that
goodness might nevertheless possess a kind of essence. We have discussed already asome of the
key differences between what is called an essence and what we term as merely an abstract category
or abstraction. But to recap, an abstraction delimits and subsumes a variety of representations
(of some thing that may itself be projective and nothing more than theoretical or may be
alternatively of some essence). An Essence, on the other hand can only provisionally and
heuristically be understood in terms of an abstract category, but must be supposed to possess some
at least partially independent and self-sustaining being and consequently an active organizing
principle, i.e., some ability to bring order to chaos.

Of course goodness might possess an essence by virtue of a consistent feature of some broader
essence. In other words, the principle of organization of goodness might be external to itself.
But goodness may only be after all an idea that survives by being subserved by impulses, motives
and feeling that in the final analysis are extraneous and ulterior to its abstractly stated principle. A
perfect illustration of this might be the phenomenon of capitalism based upon collective, rational
self-interest.

The essence of being human is always having an ulterior motive.

We might ask whether the Universe has always and shall always possess the potential or capacity

Contrast the convergence of phenomenon of a certain type within a given locality with the

C. S. Lewis has said that good succeeds in being good with far greater success than evil succeeds in
being bad. So for Lewis evil or Evil is just goodness perverted.

Being vs. existence contrasted with the duality. Ought vs. should. Perhaps the phenomenon of
conscience is just as inherently mysterious as that of consciousness itself. Parallel to the above
distinctions of being/existence and ought/should is that of essence/abstraction, as well as that of
concrete vs. formal unity.

A given truth is but a nexus or locus for the growth of context-based knowledge and is therefore,
open-ended and transcendental in the sense that this truth, shorn of its various outgrowths, is not
itself anything that can be captured within an articulate description. Only truths subject to
conditions may be described.

A massive body is attracted ceteris paribus toward a region of spacetime in which its binding
energy is greater, away from the region in which this binding energy is lesser. In tandem with
this we should state that such bodies move (accelerate) toward regions of spacetime in which the
velocity of time is relatively reduced and the velocity within the spatial component of spacetime
is increased.

Metaphors are intended to connote what could have been denoted by other means.

Metaphysics as collection of existence plausibility arguments (as opposed to existence proofs
per se) for the gods conception of a given true proposition concerning aspects of the nature of

All statements of literal or denotative truth may be later interpreted to have secretly possessed all
along a larger significance by virtue of a metaphysical reference to some broader context.

The construction (piecemeal) and reinforcement, perhaps over a great length of time, of a kind of
linkage structure within some original, pragmatic or instrumental context may serve at some later
occasion as a template to catalyze the seeming self-organization of analogous elements within
some initially incommensurate, chaos-laden domain of activity, suggesting the presence of some
internal principle of system integrity and coherence (i.e., principle of internal unity) which
though appearing as self-sustaining, is actually being maintained through the continuous
application from outside the system of a set of interpretive filters and negative feedback inputs in
which the circuits are completed always from outside the system itself.

The consciousness of the individual person possesses much greater prospect for importantly
back-reacting upon the persons brain physiological processes, and moreover possessing intrinsic
continuity (likely very important factor in sustaining personal identity over time especially
through the discontinuities or potential disruptions introduced by the continually replaced and
reshuffled of the material components, and subsystems, etc. of the physical brain), if
consciousness is not merely a pseudo- or projective substance continuously engendered by brain
activity, but possesses a partially independent existence (or being) is only structured via such brain
activity.

There is not a continuum that contains both of an indefinite plurality of distinct, individual
consciousnesses by virtue of a commonality of their embeddedness. Sustainment of a
consciousness origination within time (as opposed to it s origination wholly outside of time) must,
at least in part, outstrip an equivalent description of the function of this consciousness within the
frequency domain. Existence and nonexistence are merely distinct modes of greatest
disparateness of (a single) being. The unity displayed by a plurality of existents, however
concerted be their (necessarily indirect) interaction/interrelationship shall never approach the unity
of manifesting on the part of a single such being. And this connection of manifestations solely
by virtue of their stemming and having stemmed from the selfsame, identical being constitutes the
irreducible residue of connectedness, which passes beyond all possible characterization the
commonality of authorship here falls utterly outside the bounds of discursive reason and is
fundamentally irrational.


The relatedness of disparate beings consists in no more than the consistency of the interaction of
their respective beds of manifestation relative to the mutually and collectively constituted
continuum into which each projects its local, temporal image.

If ground does not participate in the manifestations that it engenders, if substance is indifferent to
the temporality evinced by its manifold, accidents, then there can hardly be any sufficient reason
for attributing to a substance or ground any ownership of its various accidents or manifestations.

Of course, returning to the state from which consciousness originally arose, makes things just as
though this consciousness had never existed at all.

The human brain, as a metabolizing organ, a utilizer of ordered energy, (in the form of molecules
of ATP), is continually generating entropy just like any other thermodynamic heat engine.
However, the brain does this while at the same time it continually generates new quantities of
information. Unlike what is called negentropy, the flow of that is theoretically reducible to
concomitant flows of entropy, the negation of information does not truly fulfill a role as entropy
the negation of data fulfills that role. In other words, the production of information by a
thinking, perceiving human brain cannot be consistently modeled as the flow of uncertainty
(quantum mechanical or otherwise) out of this information-engendering organ.

Loves illusion of its self-sustainment out of an integral wholeness is quickly enough dispelled
once the possession of its object is irretrievably past. And the jealousy seemingly borne of love
is usually unmasked as that of mere possessiveness and the resistance of the ego to a tangible
symbol of its impending deflation. If most theistic, so-called believers would just for a
moment contemplate the proposition of Gods reputed Existence dispassionately, that is,
without necessary linkage of this proposition to the psychologically necessary corollary of the
individual souls immortality, many might gain for perhaps the first time an honest glimpse of the
ontological insecurity that partly (and importantly) comprises the unique endowment of the human
species.

Barring the possibility of some overarching, superconsciousness within which each individual
consciousness may be, metaphorically speaking, placed one next to another, permitting a
systematic, comparative study, no abstract (in the proper sense) features of consciousness per se,
as opposed to structurings of this consciousness, are determinable.

If the registering of new thoughts and perceptions by persons acting within the context of human
experience is tantamount to the performance of some small packet or bit of metaphysical work,
then it only makes sense that the explorations of metaphysical explanation should be preoccupied
with the application of metaphor, specifically analogy. The give-and-take between respective
subjectivities that underpins the realm of the intersubjective that each in turn therein takes up its
conditional (and conditioning) being (i.e., existence), cannot itself be a process that possesses an
intersubjective description that adequately accounts for its dynamics.

The doctrine that reality is one is at once to imply that there is no room in reality or Being for more
than one substance. The further implication of this is that if soul as such exists, the totality of
Being is constituted by the being of just this one soul and that therefore the notion of a plurality of
beings (as opposed to mere existents) is just a contradiction too broad and deep to be grasped by
any being itself in the absence of all conditions, i.e., illumination.

Having exercised the metaphysical presence (larger-than-life-likeness) of some feature, thing,
person, institutions, whatever, one might say that what has taken place is the deconstructing of
some fetishized object.

Essence differs from abstract category in the important sense where the various differences in
detail between the members of the respective class which are suppressed for purpose of defining an
abstract category are altogether lost while these distinctive details remain latent and potentially
active/responsive in the case of the determination of an essence. One might characterize the
distinction here by noting that an essence is a diachronic, abstract category (abstraction), and an
abstract category is an example of a synchronic essence. So the process by which categories are
generally brought into being (the very highest level of abstraction) is itself not an abstraction but
an essence, namely, the essence of some particular person. So the notion of a person is that of a
kind of diachronic and cohesive (if not altogether coherent) category.
@$
And there is no
concept of personhood as such because the details that must be suppressed in order to define the
category, person are just those points in which the tentative members of the would-be class,
persons become the persons that they transcendentally are. In other words, I am a person
through the possession of all of those attributes that make me unique, that is, distinct from that
possessed any and all other persons (and would-be persons).

Human consciousness is expansive and open in the sense that we can imagine how our very
consciousness and sense of ourselves, both individually and collectively would-be radically
changed in light of unprecedented historical events, e.g., the visitation of Earth by vastly superior
beings, e.g., technologically advanced extraterrestrials. But consciousness is very limited, but
possessing great potential in the sense that there are many such unprecedented happenings that we
have not and presently cannot conceive of still less, the impact such events might have upon
human consciousness. As
au=
J. B. S Haldane remarked, either theres intelligent life on other
planets or we are alone either way the implications are staggering. An interesting thing about
human consciousness is that logically, since we know that one of these two alternative is true, we
should be exhilarated, however, generally speaking no one is. It is as though the natural
emotional reactions to either contingency cancel each other out. The human mind cannot
somehow embrace two mutually exclusive alternatives and just a generalized agitation results as
in the case of gamblers awaiting the outcome of a sizeable bet in a contest which now appears it
can go either way.

We may contrast those who view divine being as an outward and upward projection of earthly
existence into heavenly being with those who view human existence in a manner just the converse
of this.

The state of conscious awareness is the manifest or, more usually, latent state of priviness to and
copresence with the process of the activity of divine creative, sustaining power that underlies the
metaphysical and moral universe.

The process of evolution can be intelligently guided in the direction of greater good, even without
the prefiguring of some determinate, desired outcome.

Now in terms of the proper application of the general term (example of abstract category),
instinctive, many human behaviors are freely (as opposed to spontaneously?) perpetrated and so
are not (properly) described as being instinctive or instinctual. But understanding the term
instinctive or instinctual as denoting an essence (rather than an abstract category), we might
say that the behavior of all animals are instinctual in the sense of being instinctually driven.
Here intelligence or ratio, c.f., Aristotles claim that man is a rational animal, is understood to
be as much an adaptation of an evolutionary process as is the application of intelligence. On this
view, since intelligent behavior is still instinctual behavior and intelligent and instinctual are
dually counterpoised, we should say that intelligent behavior is a general or abstract feature of
certain types of instinctual behavior.

Humanity may be divided into two categories in terms of how human beings handle suffering,
adversity, humiliation, disillusionment, failure, frustration, i.e., as a prideful god being imposed
upon or, as a humble servant being developed, tried and tested.

Is self-awareness just one among many possible particular structurings of consciousness or, is it a
peculiarly special structuring of the same in which it is important, perhaps, that it is a structuring
produced by the very same brain processes that are productive of whatever this self consciousness
is a structuring of?

Essence is partly comprised of origin, substance and continuity, all of which can hardly be
submitted to complete characterization in terms of formal categories.

Certainly if we encountered particles possessing the very same interaction and transformation
properties as some of the already discovered elementary, subatomic particles, but of much larger
spatiotemporal scale, say, approximating that of billiard balls or, perhaps even smallish planetoids,
a hypothesis as to the intelligent design of these objects might easily turn out to be the favored
opinion among all the so-called experts. The question here then becomes: how do we explain the
psychological significance of spatiotemporal scale in our subjective impressions of these objects
as being either of natural or supernatural origin?

Compassion and wisdom cannot grow but little without a necessary tension existing between
desire and obligation, consciousness and will, effort and result that is encountered both within the
self and witnessed being played out within the other. How else could character be revealed and
realized?

Only that which by its formal nature possesses a possible design basis may be built into the created
order. Somehow the attempt to form a crystalline, determinate order inevitably engenders
discontinuities.

The incarnation, ministry, crucifixion, death and resurrection of Christ, effecting (at least in
potentia) the reversal of the erstwhile and would-be fate of all of Mankind, precipitated originally
by the effective coupling of this powerful, symbolic act to a pervading, metaphysical
transformation.

The question arises as to whether or not brain processes, taking place at the relevantly substantive
level, (e.g., spatiotemporal scale of physical reality) produce their effect, i.e., individual conscious
states, i.e., through their symbolic significance (within a preexistent microlinguistic structure).

Free will is a tool of instinct. Speculate upon the lessons learned about humans by studying
mouse behavior. The so-called unity of consciousness is just the fine grain of the minds
modularity. Self as projection of survival focal vanishing point.

Give a few remarks concerning the psychology of the human belief in substance.

Discuss the distinction between essence and abstract category. Essence may be thought of as a
concrete concept, as a concept that possesses coherence, cohesiveness, integral wholeness, and a
capacity for growth and development.. An abstract category may be thought of as sometimes a
kind of shadow cast within a projective space of a corresponding essence and at other times, a pure
illusion, i.e., not even the shadow of an essence, but the shadow cast by an object implied, pointed
to, but which actually possesses no being, i.e., does not exist.

Explanations succeed because of the background within which the relations inhere. This is also
true in the case of any proper explanation of consciousness. Speculate upon a Sheldrakean
explanation of human consciousness.

Ought arising from is and consciousness arising from earthly creation show Will and
Representation arising together.


Individual substances possess no extension (projective spatiality), but in concert with one another,
collectively, spatiality, as a merely relative (and therefore unconserved) quantity projective spaces
are constructed and sustained.

The arising of mind from matter is just as mysterious as the emergence of ought from is, c.f.,
Kants reflection on what he considered to be the two greatest mysteries of human existence, i.e.,
the starry heavens above and the moral law within?


For a proper science of consciousness to exist as apiece with a larger multidisciplinary, unified
science, the very fabric of the conceptual mapping of reality would have to be dramatically altered
hence, the implication of the existence of secret, higher knowledge, and therefore, by
implication, the being (or beings) to possess this knowledge. For knowledge to exist, does there
always have to be a mind somewhere in which it subsists? In other words, if knowledge is
ultimately not abstract and formal, then it requires continuity as part of its basis.

If this secret scientific knowledge is not reducible to intersubjective (and abstract structures of
relations), then only the most developed possible consciousness, the existence of which is
suggested/implied here.

Gods giving of himself in instilling his breath in Adam and his giving of himself (in the body) are
somehow one and the same act.

Violent depictions are not harmful to the mature, developed mind, in and of themselves, but
without proper context and guiding explanation/interpretation, it can be positively inimical to the
developing soul.

Original Sin and the fall of Man continually arises anew in each human persons biography, in
each generation. So it is not original sin itself that disseminates just its variations.

There is a transcendentally separate time for each individual consciousness. There is no
universal simultaneity in relativity theory. The fact of nonlocality that is both limited and
infinite implies the existence of distinct internally coherent quantum vacua. Interacting
partitions of Heisenberg uncertainty as providing a possible solution to the late time normalization
paradox (related to the argument for Heisenberg uncertainty) originating with the quantum
vacuum, rather than with real particles themselves.

The monkey ideates as though his most tenuous and subjective associations represent some kind of
objective logical inference to which only he has privileged access.

Reality is istic and ological indefinite, ambiguous, and overdetermined. Only abstract
features are coherent (formally). Intrinsic coherence/cohesiveness does not have a consistent
formal description. Will-phenomena are not reducible to a representation because Will and
Representation form with one another a duality, c.f.,
au=
Schopenhauers Will and Representation.

A healthy growth pattern for the self is one which is outward-telescoping. One is continually
placing the events of ones (and their pattern) into a larger context.

The determinism of individual drama acted out in a heroic setting (c.f., heroes of Greek
Myths/Legends versus liberation of the post-historical/analytical, spectator-like perspective of the

I was the mouse too smart/cautious to try to take the cheese from the trap.

Sometimes one must telescope inward assuming a smaller, more earthbound identity in order to
get ones embodied self through the trial/tribulation.

Wisdom fondly recollects its youth just as a God contemplates the trials and adventures of his
favorite earthly hero.

Is intense emotion rooted in the breaking from below of the creature (monkey) or a piercing of the

Sartre says that emotion is

It is much more likely that spatiality is a construct of consciousness than consciousness being a
construct of completely within spatiality.

The phenomenon of emergence involves the gradual development of new sustaining, mediating
ground, which is progressively independent of the ground from which the interacting elements
were originally derived. Emergence means the development of internal degrees of freedom, not
commensurate with the degrees of freedom of the ingredient constituents of the system.

Chaos is the ground of ground of existence while deiy is the ground of being.

A sensitive, reactive and dynamic medium of delicate balance and coordination that helped the
organism respond as quickly and flexibly as possible to a sudden change in environment.
Through a feedback process, this medium came to take on a life and will of its own.

If such distinctions as those obtaining between, say, wisdom and love are in the final analysis
reducible, then human existence per se, the human drama is itself an illusion of no objective
reality and the redundancy of consciousness, i.e., its indefinitely multiple realization in the lives of
countless myriads of human beings who have been born of this Earth, striven upon it for a time,
and fallen back unto ruin these shall have all been the fanciful productions of some solitary
cosmic being. In this case, the experiences of one person do not become combined with those of
any other and there is no such thing as a possible larger meaning for the experiences of individual
human beings beyond what they themselves gave to these experiences.

The overlapping duplicities of the physical world and the world of consciousness in which
physical objects are artifacts of consciousness, intersubjectivity and the indeterminacy and
nonlocality of wavefunctions of quantum mechanical systems are manifestations of consciousness
that infuses the physical.

New data sets as potential templates for the reprocessing of data/information. All information
is also data for reprocessing. What is the reprocessing potential of human experience that makes
it so metaphysically open-ended?

Processing is to reprocessing as individual human experience is to what?

Like Jack Handeys Deep Thoughts much though that passes for brilliant is at once inspired and
totally misguided. This observation would tend to make us very curious about what essentially
makes for inspiration if, indeed, there is something besides commonly possessed
phenomenological features to the phenomenon of inspiration. A phenomenon as such prompts
us to dig down into its causal basis, etiology (in the case of a pathology), or its other possible
*-logical foundations.

Good versus rehabilitated evil, Evil versus fallen goodness. (C.f., handwritten notes)

Frailty of the body and mind in others can inspire the impulse to cull weaklings from the litter, i.e.,
feelings of sadistic cruelty, or it can inspire impulses to be solicitous, pity, compassion, profound
concern, i.e., feelings of nurturing.

Can a criminal human person be both unfortunate victim of society on whom we should direct
mercy and compassion and a sadistic aggressor/predator to be stamped out in a most harsh and
prejudicial manner, much like an animal lover dispatches a rabid dog?

Imagine a stick figure theater production about an unloved stick figure human being. This would
be an excellent subject of study within a psychology experiment in which experimental
participants subjective reactions to what they are viewing is gauged and recorded. Participants
are classified into two categories, as being either compassionate or rejecting (toward the
unfortunate stick figure.

We might question whether such a sympathetic character actually exists since human beings very
quickly adapt to a harsh and unsympathetic social environment by becoming themselves harsh and
unsympathetic, c.f., nobody ever gave a damn about me, so why in the hell should I help you!
But perhaps this fact should only compound, rather than reduce our feelings of compassion for
members of the downtrodden, homeless underclass. Such might point up the difference between
true compassion or love versus the lower sentiment of mere pity.

Attacking the genealogy of an idea in terms of previous religious or sociopolitical context in which
this idea was originally conceived or developed hardly constitutes the adequate makings for the
ideas refutation.

A asks B a question about what B values, which can possess only one answer appropriate to the
value judgement of B made by A. Now A and B have both for some time been engaged in
social-bonding talk and although each from his part understands this to be the case, one or both
nonetheless attributes a fact reporting communicative intent to the other. What is paradoxical
about this is that the whole point of engaging in social-bonding talk is that the other participant
with oneself in the discussion is himself doing likewise.

Data processing based on quantum tunneling should not interfere with the execution of the brains
commands to contract this or that collection of muscle fibers (which is effected by purely
classical/physical means), but can be either filtered out as structureless noise/spurious inputs.

There is nothing elsewhere in the brain, in the sense of classical force or momentum that is used by
or can account for the fact of an electron or ion tunneling across the potential difference across a
neural, synaptic cleft.

On the logarithmic scale of brain processing power there is hardly any measurable difference/
quantitatively between the thought processes of a genius versus those of a certifiable moron.
It is the character and quality of a thought and not so much its difficulty level (by some
scientifically based quantitative measure) that provokes the response of terming something
brilliant.

True self organization is not spontaneous assembly of some coherent structure according to some
preexisting algorithm, but the spontaneous assembly of both the algorithm and the structure that is
to henceforth be its realization. So self-organization can only truly occur within an open system
(one not possessing a determinate structure and dynamics) whose action is mediated via nonlocal
and nondeterministic reactions and interactions, i.e., processes. Teleology within an open
system, i.e., incomplete in a plenipotential sense, necessitates an imaginative faculty of will.

Similar to our observation about the fact of thought (as such) possessing no abstract description,
we might make the observation that entityhood (in the sense of physical objects) would not
admit an explication in terms of the kinematics and dynamics of entities.

Without an established framework of categorical distinctions and recipes for interpretation and
action, one is free to develop ones own system of distinction and supporting justificatory system
of implications, c.f., conversation with Blaise Guzzardo concerning responsibility for violations
cited against Allison Marine.

Discuss the virtue and unintended consequences of a regulatory system, c.f., Microsoft Windows

The aura that some of these longstanding philosophical questions have about them is a feeling that
less than one order of magnitude would suffice to make their answer ludicrously easy. Many
smart people secretly perceive this fact and this perhaps explains the phenomenal lack of interest in
philosophical or metaphysical questions that us philosophy crazed fish questioning the strange
substance in which we breath, swim and have our being, (could this be a metaphor for the
relationship philosophers have to their own ordinary states of consciousness?) take in such
questions. Or perhaps each of these philosophical truths, if correctly stated, would take the form
of an exceedingly complex theorem, the truth of which, is not even meant to ever be grasped as a
unified and whole insight.

There is some gimmick to there solution, conceivable to some preternatural human intellect,
which, if it could be conveyed to any philosophically interested person, would perhaps produce an
aha experience that one would soon enough assimilate.

The profound absence of interest that ordinary smart people exhibit concerning questions that
are searching and fascinating for many of us not so smart but having been bit by the
existence-questioning bug.

Truth versus dissemination paradox of the Christian notion of a personal evil (Satan).

Frenzied, impulsive behavior of persons who allow the creature to take over and direct their
behavior.

The question is whether each individual person possesses his own ground for his own being or
whether his consciousness is simply supervenient over the causal processes of his own brain
function.

So much of interpretation, symbolic representation, manipulation must be instinctive or
un-selfconscious as there is so much complexity of structure to both semantics/ syntax in human
communication which has been mastered only up to a simplistic level via mimesis, but which then
seems to develop on its own dynamic, evolutionary (genetically-programmed?) path.

Still less can any explanation for the subtlety and virtuosity of human linguistic and nonverbal
communication be accounted for in terms of any available formed instruction.


Jesus said, He who gives up his life gains it and he who saves his own life loses it.. Now if one
believed this statement to be literal fact with certainty, then the very logic underlying the
supernatural power, the operation of which, this saying of Jesus describes, should be rendered null
and void. But if one merely believes this statement through faith to be somehow importantly
metaphorically true ( say in some transcendent, hyperliteral or, larger than life sense, then the logic
of Jesus saying has room within which to manifest its most profound truth. So on this new
earthly life for the Christian take place within a merely metaphorical setting in which the choices
each makes possesses metaphysical or reality-building/defining importance.

Feedback structure in which the boundary between phenomena and ground is both approximate
and relative and based on historical continuity of this feedback stretching back far enough so that
re-averaging effects are negligible or unmeasurable. And the postulate of objective
measurability is inconsistent with non-negligible effects of historicity of entanglement of distinct
causal levels of description. An example of supervenience (of a statistical law over a causal
process) might be that of the tenacity of normalizability of the wavefunction.

Discuss the phenomenon of feminine machismo and its general symptom of an almost schizoid
feminine duplicity. Examine this phenomenon in the particular example of the prioritizing of

Any thing more than the void itself is limitation.

Moral Law possesses an inner necessity just like physical law. Reconciliation of Gods Justice

Subjectivity is a radical freedom to define meaning when there is no higher appeal versus when

Humans are mammals up permanently on their hind legs. This seems a cause for much of the
human creatures instinctive arrogance.

Telepathy is sometimes imagined as a future evolutionary development of human mental
capabilities, perhaps only in the extremely distant future of the race. But it seems more valuable
to make known ones thoughts to another only when one wishes them so known.

We are not integrally whole, it is just that the pieces of the Chimera that is Man are so very tiny and
hence beneath the resolving power of any individual human beings self perception. Hence we
naturally appear to ourselves to possess wholeness (holiness) and integrity as unified beings.

Any appearance is capable of being sustained in its seeming independent state of animation (for a

One reaches a point of diminishing returns at the crossover from new horizons being opened by the

Evolution of language is perhaps due to a mixture of collective error, logical fallacy,

Oscillation is the most redundant action. Modes mean the outcome of stimulus or excitation is

Consciousness is uncertainty non-conserving in its action, of course.

One should not judge a book by its cover, but it is wise to judge a book by the volumes in the

Is the individual consciousness a realization of an infinite symmetry group, i.e., a symmetry group
comprising an unlimited (rather than determinate-infinite) number of elements and
transformations. Is the appearance of forms within consciousness due to the removal of
degeneracies?

The action of will presupposes the externality of consciousness to itself, i.e., consciousness
self-transcendence.

Can a parallel be drawn between the way matter and the quantum vacuum interact through the

Lets not confound the flowering and proliferation of the unique with the universal.

Monods statement that the genetic codes meaning is arbitrary: context can cause elements to

There is the accumulation of missing complementary structure (here what is missing is defined in
advance), and then there is the activation of the function of the completed structure. There is
also the dynamic to consider of the back reacting of this activated structure upon its sustaining

This is much like an exploded diagram view of he integrally whole, e.g., human body, jet engine,

Platonism is undermined by the notions of a shifting ground and metaphysical work. Platonism

The capacity to detect inconsistencies in thought, perceive the paradoxical, sense irony,
distinguish vulnerable or unwarranted assumptions from those that are more robust these are just
a few examples of what makes for critical awareness. Because we do not know if this critical
awareness is a necessary component of consciousness, we cannot tell whether dreams, in which
this component of consciousness is more or less utterly absent, are actually experience within the
moment of their being projected by the unconscious mind or, if they only appear to have been
experienced consciously as a result of projection by the recollection of waking consciousness.

The distinctness of indiscernibles (when each is considered by itself) is the foundation of the
realization of number. But number itself as a metaphysical category is itself the foundation of
this distinctness. Number (as category) is the basis of its realization. Is this proposition
tautologous vacuous?

So-called natural selection must be an extremely superficial manifestation of a deeper process of
selection taking place on myriad multiple levels and possessing, unlike superficial natural
selection, its own internal dynamic and principle of order. It appears that a solitary dimension
of time is an inadequate backdrop for evolutionary change. A solitary time dimension, however,
is probably an adequate stage for the playing out and manifesting of structures already realized.

How watching a snuff film on the Internet gave me the insight that Satan fervently wants World
Peace. It is similar to the idea of how a large scale, industrical/ agricultural chicken farm is able
to produce eggs at such prodigious capacity by maintaining conditions in which the chickens do
not have to compete for food or mates. Temperature, humidity, lighting, etc. and all other
relevant conditions are also maintained at ideal levels.

The cruelty of Christs treatment at the hands of His tormenters who brought Him to the cross and
crucified Him provide the clearest representation of mans inhumanity to man. And Christ
willingly suffered this utmost manifestation of original sin, this act being the very act by which
God chose to reach down to Man in offering Man the gift of salvation by grace through faith. To
be properly prepared to receive the gift of salvation, each human being must personally identify
with the sin committed against Christ in the perpetration of the crucifixion by Man upon Him.
One must essentially see oneself as equivalent to those who tortured and crucified Jesus Christ, if
ones heart is to be sufficiently receptive to the Gospels message of salvation. But as long as the
individual runs from this insight into his complicity in the crucifixion, one is immune to
conviction by the Holy Spirit. After all, it is ones own sin which has necessitated Gods act of
embodiment in the form of a man and His subjection to crucifixion at humankinds hand.
July 2011
The notion of original sin was invented by mankind because he had reached a stage in the
evolution of his awareness of self which permitted him to first glimpse in himself this hideous and
hateful ugliness which he keenly realized had always been lurking there. It was this same hideous
self, which was by its nature so vulnerable to the most obscene flattery. Absolute power corrupts
absolutely, only because the prospect of absolute power entices so absolutely. Man also
recognized that this part of himself was so prideful that it would kill even a great and loving
benefactor if it but were given the chance. For such a benefactor, if successful would bring about
a moral order in which this greedy, lustful, covetous and hateful self would find no place.

There is this duality of information versus that which this information is about. But there is also
the physical aspect of this information as itself a possible content intended or referred to by other
information, i.e., the physical embodiment, if you will, of this information. Also, the referent(s)
of information may (and usually do) contain information it(them) sel(f)ves. What about the
distinction between the meaning of information, its content, and then the that to which the
information refers?

Nature appears to transgress so many of the boundaries (of vast, projective spaces that are due to
extrapolations of abstract generalizations from too limited experience, i.e., the more of the same
principle) implied by the categories posed by our theories. Nature does this because behavior
based upon sciences simulated combination or integration of separate sets of conditions into a
whole is an inadequately deep description of how such an actual whole would function as a
system.

Can the temporality of consciousness of the individual as such really be orthogonal with respect to
the direction of the temporality of the transformation of the forms inhering within this
consciousness? Wouldnt this make consciousness forms and formal transformations into just
an empty shadow play? The temporality exhibited by the forms of consciousness is derived
from the temporality of consciousness as such. How does the temporality of each individual
consciousness fit into the physical picture of temporality as being a manifestation of fundamental
processes taking place within the quantum vacuum?

When nature does not know how to proceed further, she holds herself in abeyance until help
arrives, e.g., quantum superposition.

Seeing the sin nature in ones fellow man makes for a disheartening cynicism. Realizing that

Freud would have been correct in viewing the edifice of culture as being a monolithic monument
to the power of sexual sublimation. But Shakespeare had a much deeper and broader and hence
more valid theory of what made up the substance of human existence. Not only sex, but
circumstance, e.g., of birth as being noble or not, say, fate, and ones fellow man are also important
controlling factors in making man what he ultimately becomes.

Another example of logocentrism: the notion of Man (with a capital M).

We realize insights frequently, on the one hand, through the noting of parallel distinctions, but this
takes us only so far. Eventually, this parallelism (degeneracy) is removed in light of newly
developed conditions. Or were the two distinctions all along and secretly cutting across one
another? For example, consider the notions of reproducibility and reversibility. But here we
say what is reproduced is really only a set of appearances, or, abstractions. Is consciousness
itself the ultimate abstract generalization? There is always a different set of inputs required to
produce the same (appearance of) outputs and yet there is at the same time, a tenacious thread
connecting the manner in which the input sets are varied so as to maintain a constant output this
is an example of the nonrepresentational/participatory nature of a feedback circuit.

Must there result a shift in the nature of the cases that we have always assumed formed an

Deconstruction used to overthrow the oppression of the great masters and geniuses of the canon.

Metaphysics of presence, logocentrism, etc.

We mimic the outward form while entertaining a peculiar acceptation of this forms content, which
influences via the mechanism of society, an evolution of this form as though this cultural form
possessed an inner dynamism of its own, and human beings were seized by it as instruments of its
working out. The presence of the human form and physiognomy, above question, except by
those whom the hive-mind suppresses with the label, schizoid, schizophrenic, schizophreniform,
schizotypal, etc., because failure to perceive this inevitably natural human presence is the
profound earmark of a mind in a dissociative state. But secretly everyone knows in their hearts
that presence is not absolute but an artifact of our tacit collusion into which we have all been
carefully shepherded by each previous generation. Without children as a constant distraction
and disruption to meditation upon the self, its existential predicament, we should many of us
sooner or later think our way out of our cozy, wet paper bag much to our horror and dismay.

If there are such things as phantom concepts, then there must be such a thing as real consciousness,

Robust cohesiveness of a dynamic system depends on overdetermination itself based in quantum

We so fluently speak with our native tongue that we are normally quite unaware of the myriad

Dissemination can simulate the generality of abstract essence that otherwise is revealed in

Creation, if it is to live up to the essential meaning of the word, must always begin as something,
though integrally whole, is nonetheless totally arbitrary (without purpose?) but must acquire
meaning through the dynamism with which it sustains its integralness.

A pure representation is a pure manifestation and so possesses no integral wholeness/ cohesiveness
(as a collection of interacting elements, that is). Can representations possess the nature of
physical bodies? Are thing and abstraction in some sense synonymous? Or does a thing
possess an integral wholeness lacking in a representation? Or is the integral nature of
representations external, as opposed to internal, as in the case of (physical) things?

Insights can never be fully communicated if it takes an entire philosophical opus with which to do

great and intuitive minds to form philosophical insights of their own.

To believe that we can extrapolate evolution forward by looking at our projections of it into the

Various forms of degeneracy are necessary for the growth of structure in which the process of
growth does not interfere with those structures already evolved and incorporated into the system.

Transformation of newly invented (as opposed to stock) metaphors during the course of their
mutual influence (semantic field interaction) as they are sequentially incorporated into a

The distinction of aliens-disguised-as-humans vs. humans is transformed and taken up into, or

Analogous to how
the Universe was originally thought to be alone, but later was discovered to be a multiverse,
maybe God is only a small part of the Multi-God. Creation was in its first attempts a kind of
instinctive solution to darkness. Instinctive because it was happening everywhere and
everywhen, perhaps at first only in fitful and abortive starts. At first there was brief light, but then
this light was quickly extinguished, then light appeared but with a little more structure and ballast
this time so that it lasted longer, but then collapsing back into silent darkness. The first time that
this burgeoning, bubbling and gurgling process of mind attempting to bootstrap itself out of
nothingness had gained any real, lasting and intellible foothold on being just might have been that
very instance in which you came into being! Does God have the same uncertainty concerning the
existence of other minds as do we His alleged creatures? Presumably not because God
possesses a privileged access to the contents of our minds which is even greater and more intimate
than the private access each individual has to the contents of his own mind. So there must be two
classes of intersubjectivity: that between small s selves and that between small s selves and the
big S Self. (The intersubjectivity of multiple big S Selves so-called turns out to be reducible to
the same type of intersubjectivity as that between small s selves and this is perhaps the basis for
the uniqueness of Gods being qua being of the ground of being.) The subjectivity of small s
selves must be somehow less private than the subjectivity enjoyed by the large S Self. So the
subjectivity of the small s self can be additionally entertained by the large S Self, and this all
because the concept of consciousness as founded upon consciousness as an abstract property held
in common amongst all small s selves is not an incoherent notion. Consciousness possesses an
outside in addition to an inside. The notion of topology offers itself here for consideration.

Like a postulate that is demonstrated in terms of what is shown to follow from it,

It is likely that, on Chomskian principles of the brains specialization, that each person goes

one or two things if one is also very bad at a lot of other things. Certainly this is to be expected if
human evolution has always been driven by natural selection operating almost exclusively within a
social context in which a certain degree of genetic (and also memetic) specialization amongst
the various tribal/clan members promoted greater survival for the breeding population as a whole.

Contemplate the meaning of the phrase, lyrical nature of perception.

Feedback cycles of cause and effect within the purely locally connected matrix of the dynamic

systems though simultaneous with respect to one time axis in all distinct Lorentz frames may be
nonsimultaneous with respect to orthogonal time axes.

Consciousness presupposes degrees of freedom by which the mind may form an integral
description of itself.

Conceptual thought ~ logical Metaphorical thought ~ associative

Conditioning of a stimulus-response being through repetitive juxtaposition. Associative mental
processes can be superimposed upon language (a phenomenon that transcends thought that is
exclusively associative) to produced patterned word sequences that are suggestive to the faculties
of conceptual thought.

Anthropic cosmological principle is an attempt to make natural selection of random variation
explain the presence of all order and complexity rather than just that of biological systems, which
otherwise would presupposes a graciously provided order of atoms, molecules, and physical law.
There is an implied circularity of the Anthropic Cosmological Principle at work here that is similar
to that associated with Everetts Many Worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics. Was there
then a secret agenda behind the development of the anthropic cosmological principle?
Variation, even if random, does not account for the order of that which is the subject of this
variation. That which is foundational to the order of a given system must itself possess an order
greater than anything that might be manifest within this system. For this foundation could have
produced something different from what does exist and the properties or relationships pointed up
by a comparison of these variants cannot be exhibited or contained within any one of them singly.
This reminds us of the problem of defining or discerning a concept of consciousness.

Consciousness points to the being of God just as the will points to the fact that my actions are not
reducible to the vector sum of all of the forces acting upon my physical being from without. But
at some level of the reflecting of the order of the individual soul short of actual perfection, the soul
realizes its true identity as a broken creation of God requiring repair. It is probably that without
the advent of Jesus, this repair of the broken identity should not have been possible.

The presuppositions of faith cannot be arrived at by reason, nor can the propositions or reason,
e.g., complex mathematical theorems, be arrived at by faith alone.

It has been said or implied in one fashion or another by some unorthodox or Gnostic Christian
thinkers that each human being represents a more or less unsuccessful attempt to create a Jesus.
In other words each of us, according to this admittedly heretical view, represents an unsuccessful
attempt of the divine to incorporate itself into the world of creation. This creation is considered
by orthodox Christianity to be in a fallen state and this view is also shared by all of the more
Gnostic versions of Christian belief. The descent of God into His creation, through the advent of
Christs birth, is a more or less open admission that the first attempt, represented by Adam, was not
a workable path toward infusing the divine nature into that of creation, and all of us who have
come after constitute nothing more nor less than a continued confirmation of this sad fact.
Apparently, it is the mediation of the process of incarnation, via the elements already present
within this created order that pose the insuperable barrier to the entrance of the Divine Presence
into the world. And this barrier has a very convenient term by which we refer to it. And that
term is simply Sin. There is something inherent in the very substance of creation, which, we are
told, was not put there by God, but was introduced into creation by Man, having spread like a
virulent contaminant throughout the entire expanse of this creation accessible to us. We are all
children of God the Bible tells us, and the more mystically inclined of us suspect that the only thing
which actually prevents us from being co-equal to Christ, the very first among Gods children, is
just the presence of this pervasive contaminant of sin, which blocks the connection between our
immanent and transcendent selves.

@$
Taking our lead from the word holy, which is etymologically speaking, closely related to such
words as whole, hale, holistic, hole, etc., we may suppose that, given that Christ was holy, and that
no individual human being possesses such holiness, that therefore, Christ represents in some sense
the entering of the divine soul into creation wholly intact, while each individual human being
enters this same creation by being born. And continuing along with our etymologically inspired
hunch, we might further suppose that the divine presence exists already in creation, infusing it in
some way that is less than integrally whole and complete, and that each human soul that comes to
inhabit a newly engendered human body does so through a gradual gathering together of this
diffusely distributed, divine soul stuff. But this congealing, if you will, of the divine soul stuff
always stops short of a complete unity or unified soul, but continues through earthly existence
from this time until death in a state which is a kind of corrupt version of that soul which, already
integrally whole, entered the human body of the person Jesus Christ. So there is a disorder in the
manner in which, either this soul stuff is distributed throughout physical creation, or, if this
pervasive presence is itself perfectly ordered, cannot ever become perfectly manifest within
corporeal human existence.

Or is mind mostly an illusion while only its temporal snapshot, consciousness, actually subsists in
reality. Here consciousness, through knowledge of its various other temporal instantiations
imagines that it possesses an integrity beyond that which it admittedly possesses within any of its
given moments, reifying itself into a transtemporal entity called Mind. This project is only made
possible however via the functions of memory and its accessibility known as recollection.
Perhaps recollection is only a tuning of the brain to a particular set of resources and memory is just
a region (spatiotemporal) of greatly enhanced probability (relative to something else) for the
reacquiring of this proper tuning a zeroing-in mechanism for reaching a resonant state.

Consciousness is only a state and function of mind. Mind only presents itself to a particular
individual singly and then only in the form of the slimmest sliver of its entire potential, infinitely
varied spectrum. We may say that consciousness is mind merely in its temporal aspect while
mind itself appears to transcend consciousness, which is so much as a moving snapshot of itself
rooted as it is in a particular spatial and temporal context.

The unconscious perhaps
participates within the time stream of experienced conscious states, its time stream though without
being limited to necessarily move in lock step with this stream of consciousness.

What is it about a hunch that makes it pan out and what makes for a hunch that misfires?

What is being pointed to here be the strengths and weaknesses peculiar to associative thinking.
Certainly associative thinking, when one either has insufficient information or when the situation
is too complex to be analyzed logically in the time available to one, is a valuable faculty even if
sometimes producing less than satisfactory results. But the habit of indulging in associative
thinking in preference to making ready use of logical thinking and critical judgement is dangerous,
both to ones physical being as well as ones reputation among ones peers. Some people,
whom we might describe as intuitive or artistic, show such preference as though they believed
their associative mental processes were somehow superior to mere logic. The reasoning of
such types appears to be based upon a simple structural similarity of ideas or a likeness to these
ideas originating contexts. This kind of reasoning evinces in these people a cognitive style and
manner of acting that appears to most of us, who are more rational, as flighty, flaky, and
inconsistent, and all this with, of course, for these people sometimes disastrous results. Such
persons as these may exhibit a greater impulsiveness than most. Unusual and unfortunate
accidents, social conflicts and legal predicaments seem to befall them with great regularity, and
their style of living appears anything but routine. Such persons exhibit a pattern of always
reinventing the wheel at all levels of endeavor, seemingly refusing to develop any pat routines.
The tendency of these people to make in any situation many previously untried, exploratory
attempts at interacting with the environment, combined with a less than normal modicum of
caution, may explain most of what positively goes wrong in their lives, relative to those of us with
more settled ways and lifestyle.

A family is a group of individuals who all make the very same thing or activity the central priority
and focus of their lives. This is clearly an unconventional definition of family. Are
definitions like this just expedient, rhetorical manipulations where metaphor is deftly substituted
for the genuine article a tactic, we might have observed, that is frequently used for political or
propaganda purposes. What permits such definitions to become accepted with surprising swiftness
is that usually only a shift of attention has been effected by such redefining of terms. It is indeed
true that the members of a family (in the full-blooded, traditional sense of the term) strongly tend
to all have the same top priority, even if this is just the family itself. So our redefinition of family
(above) has simply replaced family as the focus of familyhood with some other thing or activity,
say science fiction fandom. And so the redefinition here was simply taking what was common to
family all along, but which had all along been in the background, and brought this to the forefront,
pushing the traditional subject of the term into the background.

No small amount of equity has been vested in a term, such as in our example above family, and a
redefinition like that implied above may indeed be seeking to borrow some of this valuable stock,
shifting as much of it as possible (over time) to the new entity or activity being labeled by this old
term. It was just such sort of manipulations of the terms of public discourse that Orwell used to
darkly illuminate the setting of his dystopian novel 1984.

There can, of course, be no objective or intersubjective basis for ones personal identity, in the
sense of there being an as yet undiscovered objective reason for my being the particular individual
that I am, rather than, say, the person who sat next to me on the bus on the last occasion on which
I availed myself of my citys public transportation, c.f., Nagels book, The View From Nowhere,
the chapter on Mind.

Structural versus contextual-elemental aspects of metaphors: many different metaphors can be
chosen to exhibit a structural relationship between newly perceived elements, but this choice is
narrowed when one tries to find the most appropriate content for the metaphor.

Just because one had not articulated ones intention for action prior to the taking of this action does
not imply that the action was unintentional or unplanned.

If a man makes it to age 40 without having married, chances are that he will remain a bachelor.
Besides having passed the phase of being goaded against his better judgement by hormones to take
up with what will probably turn out to be an unsuitable partner, the critical expectations of
women who have been traumatized out of a romantic attitude during their youth the older bachelor
anticipates would radically transform (for the worse) lonely freedom in favor of an oppressive and
harried existence within a couple.

Moreover, the lies about himself that he told to himself in his youth are not likely to be graciously
reinforced by his new, midlife partner, who is more likely to continually remind him of his having
become a failure relative to conventional standards of success. The un-self-conscious provide
the grist for analysis by the self-conscious.

But on the other side of this question brought up by this critique no, I say, onslaught upon the

Active political repression creates far more undesirable political activity, e.g., subversion, than
does untrammeled freedom of expression encourage the same. Under repression both radical

Historical/evolutionary versus simultaneous/comparative understanding of place, events, culture,

The feeling one has of the inevitability of ones existence. Whether or not the form that this
existence takes is itself inevitable is a distinct though perhaps related question. If form is
intersubjective, then it should have little if anything to do with ones personal identity, certainly
not its core or kernel. That I am the essence that I am is not something that could have been
determined by agreement as essences are by definition (rather than convention) not arbitrary nor ar
they things, which is to say abstractions admitting of some kind of concept. To say that it could
have been possible to have been another person is to say that there is only one consciousness,
which is able to take multiple forms with the result that consciousness becomes an entirely passive
attribute contributing nothing to the distinctiveness of persons or to the determination and
development of personal identity over time. The concept of an active consciousness medium of
experience, rather than a merely passive one, i.e., an intermediary for transmission without
additions (or losses no entropy gain), poses some deep perplexities for traditional notions of
consciousness.

Either we are searching for that ultimate quantity to which everything reduces, or we must admit to
ourselves that at some point the infinite regress reveals itself in our reaching that thing or substance
which is defined in terms in itself.

@$
Wisdom may be termed subjective overgeneralizations that pass for objective, experience based
knowledge for a number of distinct but related reasons: suggestibility to the manner in which
future experience is filtered through these generalizations, as well as the altered affinity to people,
places, things, and memes that tend to reinforce and resonate with them, and, moreover, the
tendency of the wisdom of a person to contribute significantly to the structuring of his social
environment, e.g., the guru phenomenon, We might say here that for the most part, the
individual human being does not acquire enough experience in a single life span to develop a truly
thorough-going general knowledge of the meaning of human existence, both individual and
collective. What is interesting is that there is, therefore, a meaning, and perhaps significance, as
well, to human existence which transcends any particular humans ability to perceive/cognize it.

Philosophical and the speculative impulse may well be symptomatic of the incommensurate
manner in which the left and right hemispheres cognize the world and process these cognitions,
particularly considering the dense nervous connection that exists between these two otherwise
largely separate brains.

This subtle and conspicuous incompatibility between the cognitive/judgement faculties of the two
hemispheres probably accounts for the pervasive and deep philosophical impulse, particularly
manifest in the ancient and still pressing problem of the One and the Many otherwise termed the
Platonic/Existential dichotomy of philosophical cognition.

This continual perplexity and pattern vigilance may be a key mainspring of conscious awareness
or the maintenance of a pitched level of the same, which is clearly of great survival value.
Dialectic is the reconciling of the incommensurate.

We should not have any valid concept of consciousness. We do have some kind of concept,
however, of what we mean by the term. We have an intuition of what consciousness; we
intuitively identify consciousness with our perception of this passage of time. Consciousness
cannot have itself as an object of its own thought, which is abstract, consciousness itself being
concrete in a fundamental or foundational sense. It is for this reason that Spinoza thought of
souls as being distinct substances. The confluence of all of these substances constitute the
composite substance of the so-called objective world.

The essence of consciousness, which is recursive or self-similar, is its endeavor to succeed in the
irrational project of making itself an object of thought (an object of itself to contain itself). It
can only do this through negation.

This can only succeed if consciousness is working within a closed system. But

If the meanings of Scripture transcend that of the human level, then at the human level, these
scriptures must be metaphorical. Explore the distinction between merely everlasting from
eternal in relation to the concept of the soul.

Image, insight, example of some general feature, trend or type versus concrete thinking aloud
about something from ones personal life. This distinction points up opposite ends of an
artistic/Intellectual spectrum of human mentality. Many theoretical notions stem from hints
given to the analytical (left brain) side of the mind by the creative, pattern-seeking (right
brain) side of the mind in the form of fragmentary images (perhaps in the form of flashes of
recollection) or metaphors, themselves more or less fragmentary (relative to latter developments,
that is). It is as though the right brain routinely eaves drops on the block-headed subvocal chatter
of the left brain, periodically utilizing intense bursts of non verbal communication (an example of
which may well be the adrenaline-rush-like phenomenon known as the a-ha experience) as if to
say, hey, silly, dont you see the implications of what youre saying (to yourself) here? It
seems the average, uninspired person, caught up in the busy world of Heideggers everydayness
may well operate simply by his or her left and right hemispheres alternatively ceding control to one
another as dictated by the immediate situation. The more creative, self-conscious (and perhaps
also, more neurotic) individual whom we term artistic or intellectual, enjoys a much closer
communication and cooperation between his or her brains hemispheres, though in the former the
right assumes the dominant role while in the latter it is the left hemisphere that is dominant. The
so-called genius, e.g., Goethe, is that person in which this cooperation is more evenly matched.

The biggest what if that we can imagine might well be the following, what if the principle known
as Occams Razor turned out to be inimical to the pursuit of objective truth a kind of
short-circuiting of a would-be open-ended (and ultimately endless) process of philosophical
endeavor? Occams Razor depends for its validity and usefulness upon another principle that
known as ceteris paribus, i.e., other things being equal.

All truth is subjective because truth is always specific to a particular domain, level or
approximation of reality, itself too open-ended to be unified, i.e., to allow for what is called
objective truth, the cash value of which, as mentioned earlier, is just varieties of intersubjective
truth. The notion of approximation here is not taken in the usual sense of approximation of what
is objectively and precisely the case, but in the sense of approximation as approach to that
possessing neither a fixed location nor trajectory. Here approximation is relative to further
refinements. Part of the process of the evolution of ideas, whether in an individual or collective
setting, is that of bringing oneself to a place by bringing about a situation from which one can then
start off in a new direction and therefore this process cannot be properly understood as a mere
unfolding. An unfolding is simply the exhibiting of the same structure in some new manner
even in the sense of the removal of a degeneracy of latent structure in which newly arising
conditions enable causal conditional relationships between two latent, but nonetheless preexistent
causal structures, one within the individual or collective mentality, the other, within the external
world.

The unity of an individual consciousness cannot be understood in terms of physical processes,
themselves understood as intersubjective phenomena. The plurality of consciousness, i.e., the
fact of consciousness multiplicity, cannot be explicated in terms of intersubjectivity itself owing
to this very plurality. The objective fact, as opposed to merely intersubjective, fact of this
plurality transcends the already mysterious principle underlying the suchness and unity of each
individual consciousness.

To create a consort or companion for himself, God had to put quite a lot of himself into the project.
The original impulse might well have been to make for himself a kind of feminine doppelganger.
But to protect against the possibility of unfaithfulness or outright rebellion, God had to build into
his creation a crucial flaw. (Perhaps the flaw was itself the making of Lucifer as a feminine
personality, but thats another question best left for later). But the flaw, though it protected God
from actual overthrow, itself acted as the seed of the rebellious spirit that was to slowly develop
deep within the Lucifers heart over the many ages that passed before the creation of the material
sphere the world was still void and without form at this stage as you will recall.

The lesser angels may well have been the offspring of many happy unions between God and his
not so perfect feminine double. God, displaying the natural enough relative lack of interest in all
that sprung from his loins, appointed Lucifer to the thankless role of Mommy. This may appear
to be getting a little Freudian at this point, but it was the out of order appearance of the step
children, Adam and Eve, that provoked the crash of good feelings between God and his erstwhile
faithful consort. It was at this time that Lucifer provoked into myriad frequent bouts of
reevaluation of his relationship to God, to include no small amount of self-analysis, that she hit
upon the nature of that built-in flaw placed by God within her otherwise perfectly constituted
psyche. That flaw being a more or less complete lack of a desire to recreate the self in the Other.
God had all but created Lucifer in his own image with the exception of this single flaw.

With the creation of Man, God had utilized a seemingly altogether different strategy: create man
in his own image, not fully realized but only in seedling form. But in order for this strategy to be
successful, the ground for mans full development into numerous alter, coequal gods had to have
already been prepared. To be fully like God man must possess this same gift of the desire to
create in his own image. The creation of Adam and Eve was almost immediately grasped and
understood by Lucifer as a kind of mocking and cartoonlike rendering of the relationship that she
had held as sacred for nearly an eternity past. Perhaps Lucifer had tempted God in a sort of
antiparallel sense to that whereby Eve tempted Adam although this temptation was rejected on the
ethereal plane the converse temptation, the mirror image of this temptation and its reception might
be played out with an altogether different outcome.

What significance can be ascribed, if any, to the importation of archaic terms from an equally

Without the capacity of consciousness for detaching us from the immediacy of being the particular

Critique of presence as destructive criticism of Gods presence, evidence, e.g., textual, for this
presence, and also a critique of the coherence and consistency of the concept of consciousness (no
concept no critique of concept that does not subsist). Descartes idea that there is not
explanation of the origin of God (Gods presence ) which suggests that the mere existence of this
concept (which doesnt really subsist) suggests the reality of that to which it points. The
presence of God is really just the reality of consciousness (secretly known to the adversary).
This helps us to interpret social and cultural changes that have accelerated throughout the century
just past.

Regardless of what happens to the wavefunction, ones consciousness does not come to a halt.
The wavefunction we are told represents the most that one can possibly objectively know about a
quantum system that is in a pure state (with respect to some system observable).
September 2011
This
doctrine of the wavefunction is entirely consistent with the idealistic doctrine of the unknowability
of the thing in itself.

The only thing in itself that one can have knowledge of (in Russells sense of privileged access) is
ones consciousness of this moment.
February 2013
Access to all other mental states perhaps ought to
be described as unprivileged, including ones own mental states from moments, i.e, bubbles of
the specious present other than this one. The question arises, of course, how are mental states or
sense data of mine at other times to be distinguished from the mental states of other minds at any
and all times? How could we prevent collapse of the distinction assumed between metaphysical
and epistemological solipsism and moreover between epistemological and methodological
solipsism?

Of course, if the system is in a superposition state with respect to (wrt) one particular observable, it
must be a so-called pure state with respect to each incompatible, or conjugate, observable. And
this is just the basis of the uncertainty principle via the theorems of Fourier Analysis. Two
question arise here one for the moment appears to be merely secondary; the other more
fundamental, although we might find (after that this situation is actually the reverse of this.)

What does the quantum state of a given observers brain then represent? The most that that
observer can know about the quantum state and evolution of this state, which his brain is presently
in.

For some reason, the entanglement of a given systems wavefunction with those forming the
systems sum of histories does not trigger decoherence of Psi.

Ones state of consciousness is thought by some to represent the continuous self-measurement
by the observer of his own quantum state (that of his brain, at least based on the theory that it is
processes within ones brain that constitute all that is relevant to consciousness). Somehow this
continuous self-measurement does not cause any reduction of the brains Psi.

This would suggest that the brain is in an eigenstate of the observable which is to continual subject
of (self) measurement.

Man must believe in something what letter thing to put ones belief in than God.

Another function of consciousness is the reinvigoration of and reinstatement (in new form or
acceptation) of (recycling, if you will) of weakened viral meme fragments that should
otherwise be lost or interfere with the function of healthy memes. The interference between
consciousness and the unconsciousness acts as a kind of universal filter.

The workaday, ordinary world of what Heidegger termed everydayness, is actually a repository of
currently active metaphors.

What is the meaning of metaphors for that which is presently (or altogether) beyond our ability to
articulate, e.g., heaven, hell, purgatory, etc.?

Thought is the abstracting of the general from the particular. Action, intentional action, that is,
on the other hand, is just the converse of this the concretizing of the particular from the general.
But action itself, by its nature is an inextricable mixture of abstraction, application (of abstract
notions), and trial-and-error experimentation in which there operates a continual feedback in the
form of mutual influencing (interference) of thought upon application and application upon
thought in which nature is being actively explored by the observer-theorist-experimenter just as is
the latter being explored by nature. Nature is forever attempting to develop and refine her own
theory of (the separate nature of) the individual. Dialectic is the interplay of the mutually

How to reconcile the alleged open-endedness (unfinishedness) of reality with the systematic
coincidence of history or the unfolding revelation of heretofore unbeknownst historical detail with
the emergence of novelty within experience, i.e., with what we might conveniently term,

There is not direct communication between minds in the sense of the transmission of anything.
There is the cooperative requesting by each for objectively analogous elements of subjectivity,
either as recollection or logical constructs. The nave individual is the one who uncritically
adopts the first notion that springs to the fore of his thoughts as the basis for action or conclusive
interpretation who, in a word, thinks and acts without look back.

The depth of the world is in its breadth; the breadth of the self, in its depths. No matter how far
the individual develops within his own being he will never be able to look out in the world and not
find all of himself already there thoroughly implicated!

This would suggest that the brain is in an eigenstate of the observable which is to continual subject

A Perfect Vacuum, The New Cosmogony, points up the blurred distinction between theory

There were those who seemed critical of his attempts at correspondence. The general style, the
diction and turns of phrase, of which he made much and frequent use, appeared borrowed at turns
either from the discourse of the existential 19
th
century novel or from those more serious science
fiction writers of the middle years of the 20
th
who, though now arguably the greatest and most
profound authors within that much misunderstood genre, had been in their day either too
intellectual or too seminal in their conceptions to have appealed to a contemporary market-worthy
audience, their works only being rediscovered after being assimilated to the fringes of mainstream
novelistic fiction, e.g., Olaf Stapleton, Stanislav Lem, Philip K. Dick, etc.

Of course, the realization that ones state of consciousness at any given stage constitutes merely a
snapshot of ones identity, poses some puzzling difficulties for anyone contemplating the
Christian notion of resurrection within and afterlife: am I brought back as a nave, impulsive, and
hopeful youth, a stolid and single-minded middle aged adult, or a calm and serene, if slightly
befuddled elderly version of myself?

A more precise way of stating the fact of the relativity of time or the rate of its passage (a rather
problematic notion, by the way) is to do this in terms of relative probability rates where the notion
of quantum probability can only be rendered logically consistent by bringing in the notion of
probability density. Density of what, of some kind of substance of events? And the answer
here is both the probability density of that which constitutes the substance of events as such.
More specifically, the relevant quantity is the density of events within spacetime, rather than
simply within space alone. This is because, although it is prima facie possible (on a deeper
level within the context of general relativity, this can be questioned) for motion to occur along one
spatial axis without the necessity of motion, however small, along perpendicular spatial axes, this
is not true where motion along the time axis is concerned. This is in part because relative
motion in space (and its associated momentum) is dependent upon a borrowing during some
earlier phase of kinetic energy associated with the erstwhile purely timelike motion of the starting
masses.

Is metaphysical presence a kind of fundamental bourgeois presumption?

Unbelief is commonly a symptom of the reflexive, instinctive and largely unconscious continual
averting of the eyes from the convicting, fearful might and grotesque beauty of the divine. Spirit
blindness is of such epidemic proportions among otherwise highly intelligent and sensitive souls
(possessing far greater powers of consciousness than would have been required for survival,
perhaps) that there can only be one explanation open to us for making sense of this phenomenon:
this blindness exhibited by each person within bourgeois existence secretly results from a
principled choice to, in a Husserlian sense, bracket out the spiritual dimension of existence.
But this is at the great peril of each because the human psyche has been adapted to the endurance of
chronic, relatively low levels of grief, dread and anguish to which one is necessarily subject while
open to the dimension of the spiritual. But one can rarely recover sufficiently from a crisis of
sudden spiritual awareness triggered (usually by some inevitable tragedy) later in life but in large
part due to ones having consistently failed to prepare oneself for such an eventuality by having
pursued a course through life in perpetual bad faith.

The karmic principle, if we are permitted to personalize somewhat, possesses a strong attraction
for ironic situations, in fact, this constitutes a kind of quirk-like weakness from the human
perspective, at least, in the moral judgement of the Universe. It is perhaps possible to exploit this
weakness and succeed in manipulating the cosmic karmic tendency, provided that ones ultimate
aim is the selfless service of ones fellows, human or creaturely. In short, one can tempt
Karma by creating an ironic situation in which oneself merely loses face, while the other is made
(via Karmic intervention within the artificial irony) to reap some personal or material benefit. Of
course, people who are conscious of the watchful eye of the Karmic principle do this all of the time
when they give up some material advantage to another in exchange for a crediting to their name of
some positive Karma. By quickly returning or perhaps even better (and more effective), passing
on to some other , any material benefit one receives due to the karmic service of ones fellow man
in the form of ones own karmic service - in this manner does one not lose ones reward in
heaven or in the next life in exchange for some fleeting, temporal gain.

We cannot tell that we are constantly splitting into duplicate selves (italics mine) because our
(italics mine) consciousness rides (quotes mine) smoothly (quotes mine) along only one path
in the endlessly forking chains. The many worlds interpretation (MWI) of the quantum

If consciousness is able to truly split, then degenerate continuity of consciousness is implied

The philosophical investigator attempts to articulate that which had heretofore long been ineffable
within his own intuition while at the same time awakening the sense of the ineffable and its reality
in his or her reader or listener. Mixed with this is the opposite tendency, that of passing a
persistent autosuggestion off to the reader or listener and this suggestion either succeeding
(dissemination) or conspicuously failing (a concomitant secret wish, no doubt, of the author).

A clear statement of objective that isolates the authors ideational process from confusion also
insulates the more creative faculties of his or her mind from the long maturing inchoate.

We like to think of ideas, sometimes, as simply tools that we can use to get to other ideas, the
general nature of which we might already have glimpsed. But perhaps a better way to
understand the use and utilization of ideas is in terms of the viral meme concept viral memes
migrate, soon after having caused infection, into the motivational, in addition to the logic
circuitry, which is more obvious and suggest to us all sorts of ways (exploiting the available
cybernetic control machinery of the neocortex) that we can use them to get what were after. It
might appear that these memes are inventing in use notions of how to use them ( in order to spread
them) which cater to our deepest desires and fears. But what makes for a successful meme?
Isnt it that humans like a particular meme, elaborating on its theme, combining it with other and
then passing them onto someone else either with the specific intent of doing so or as a by product
of using them as a means to some other end not specifically addressed in the memes content?

Isnt it we ourselves that determine the nature of the selective forces applying to memes? Is it
possible to look at this discussion in terms of the original quantities, i.e., genes themselves?

Feelings of alienation were originally indicators that one was in disfavor within the clan or tribe,
say for transgressing one of its taboos, or a still more crucial situation of one being stranded in
strange territory, that ones social camouflage may be rendered ineffective, or that one has become
a captive of a foreign or warring tribe.

Modern alternative music seems to be seeking to strengthen our sense of identification (perhaps
with other displaced, alternative lifestyle individuals) while assuaging our rankling feelings of
alienation.

For every concrete, actual memory or associative circuit concretely realized within ones gray
matter, there are quite literally zillions of virtual such circuits being completed per second just
beyond the background of consciousness.

All matter undergoes a kind of respiration of the locally available vacuum energy. Irrational
order is a contradiction (in terms) while A is an apple and A is not an apple is also a
contradiction, but here the contradiction is not merely implied (implied in the sense of logical
implication or, perhaps, in some other sense?).

An open-ended system, if it possesses a high order of unity or cohesiveness, does not do so in any
formal sense, but in the sense of substantial continuity. But there can be no universal

Consciousness is not indifferent to the passage of experience through it. Consciousness is not

It is easy to judge others who are acting badly in a situation that oneself has never before

persons decisions to act/impulses to react. The question springs to mind here. What if all of

of which I was to think, decide and act? Is this person then not my own self? The answer here
is yes and no. When one applies ceteris paribus principle, one is dealing only with measurable
quantities. But is personal identity merely a condition upon consciousness, or is it an absolute?

Why are humans so confused? Its because human intelligence, that is, the (alleged) forefront of
evolving intelligence on the surface of this planet, has only just now advanced to a level lofty
enough in its I.Q. as a species so that it is located approximately dead center on the continuum of
intelligence between the lowly amoeba and the God knows what else is out there. Once we
have the insight that there is no natural division (i.e., one established by the Gods) separating the
subjective from the objective, we then are ready for the realization that theres really no out there
out there just as theres really no in here in here, so that we see the external world occupying us
just as we see our selves reflected in and pervading the so-called external world.

The attempts on the part of critics of Christianity to invalidate this doctrine by pointing out that the

critique of metaphysics that consists essentially in noting that this discipline derives its name
simply from the historical accident of Aristotle having placed his exposition of ontology after his
Physics. Does the string of symbols, though it occur as a result of an accidental confluence of
characters, have any less meaning for not having been intended? For once the meaning is in
hand, however it might arise, is nonetheless intended when it is passed on by its discoverer who
has recognized its meaningful interpretation as an important message. The chance that a similar
message will be conceived by the recipient by chance of the earlier message has been given a
significant boost, but not only this, but the chance that a synthesis of a family of such messages
will be received (conceived) by the person (in the form of an insight or epiphany).

rational zero-point -- Heidegger

From Deconstruction, http://jamesfaulconer.byu.edu/deconstr.htm, However, Gods Justice
surpasses ours, so much so that it is inadequate to use the same name for it. What name should
we use for it, then? The nature of the growth and broadening and deepening of concepts as being
more than a shifting and shuffling of boundaries in the redrawing of conceptual maps within some
closed, if admittedly quite large, system of meanings and distinctions, seems to be implicit in the
above quoted passage. A notion of the evolution of thought as containing a necessary revelatory
(biblical sense) element is what seems to inform the statement quoted above.

The degree of consciousness is directly related to the subtlety of integral structures that may form
and be sustained within it. There seems no natural limit to the evolution or degree of
development exhibited by consciousness. Are certain thought forms within consciousness more
intrinsically stable than others? The evolution of consciousness is influenced by the forms
engendered within it. This is the notion that consciousness cannot engender the awareness of
particular forms while being indifferent to the creation of such forms within itself. Empiricism
consciousness is an empty container/blank substance. Rationalism consciousness is a closed
system no outside world.

Glimpsing the alterity within the Self and experiencing compassion for it this is quite different

According to Henri Margenau, a question is intelligible from a scientific point of view only if it
satisfies two conditions: (1) the meaning of the terms must be fixed; (2) it must be in accord with
the conventions of the science to which the question is put.

So Margenau is saying that scientific intelligibility demands fixedness of meanings according to
scientific convention. Here intelligibility is relative, embedded in the context of normal
science (in the Kuhnian sense). How are we to differentiate the merely relatively unintelligible
from the absolutely unintelligible, i.e., that which is between scientific paradigms, or, between
any paradigms (for that matter), in the broader senses of discourse and genre, from that which is
not in or between anything?

But by introducing the distinction of absolutely versus relatively unintelligible, one is also
implying acceptance of a complementary distinction presupposing the validity of the notion of
absolute intelligibility, i.e., intelligibility that is unmediated and unconditioned. The symmetries
exhibited by linguistic structures, semantic, syntactic, morphological, etc. suggest the existence (in
the sense of a mathematical existence proof) of categories for which there are currently no
assigned instantiations. The question here is whether there is some substantive, underlying
systematicity to linguistic structures (as well as to the pattern of their evolution)

For example, what interpretations spontaneously suggest themselves to the reader who encounters
the word sefl not understood to be a typographical error, but a new coinage intended to introduce
some new concept of the self or of personal identity? So there is a role which language plays in
fostering the concerted working out of human suggestibility and creativity. It is easy to see how
one could quickly, as it were, paint oneself into a corner by coining too many new words in ones
discourse, if it were not for the fact of concepts not being merely passive descriptors, but to some
extent possessing a life of their own, both individually and collectively. So that there is some
degree of self-determination of concepts in their evolution as well as responsiveness to the
introduction of new concepts and evolution of other concepts to which they have some kinship.

The question has actually been seriously asked in numerous places in peer reviewed scientific
literature whether a, say, chimpanzee, rather than a human being, appropriately manipulating the
proper laboratory instrumentation could succeed in performing an observation of the classic
two-slit apparatus that would succeed in producing collapse of the wavefunction so that the
interference pattern on the phosphorescent backstop is disrupted, to be replaced with a buckshot
pattern of electron (or photon) hits. This question may turn out not to be so silly if it is ever
conclusively established that both the human observers brain function and the quantum
superposition state of the two slit apparatus exist in some kind of two-way interaction with the
quantum vacuum.

The hypertrophy of one kind of consciousness at the expense of another kind lies behind the
phenomenon of original sin. Evil in the world, i.e., phenomenal evil versus that originating from
or with the self.

But to say that all of our concepts are abstractions is to assert a strictly empiricist epistemology.
To say that all of our concepts are in reality only metaphors is to have implied that abstraction is
merely the superposing (after the fashion of a photographic double exposure or palimpsest) of
either an earlier upon a latter or a later upon an earlier context. There may well be a significant
difference between these two types of metaphor.

The recursiveness of consciousness is thought to be one of its (or the) defining characteristic(s) (of
consciousness), c.f., The Egyptian Book of the Dead, the Ourobouros as a symbol of
consciousness, but perhaps it is this much touted recursiveness of (the individual) consciousness
which prevents the transcendental unity of the plurality of transcendent (small T) selves and is
ultimately responsible for each ego being held in the thrall of its eigentlichkeit of substantial form.

Suffering teaches compassion. Goodness gains self-knowledge through sacrifice and the letting
go of attachments. The unity of the self is more of the plurality of selves. The transcendent
self possesses absolute self context or
@$
only has a context when self-limited. We do not really
understand the gifts with which we have been blessed. Does it make sense to imagine a time and
place where we have become the master of our gifts?

That four-legged variety of spider known as the anthropod. Is there any real need for more

Certainly Christianity did not originate as a conception within the mind of a believer so we must
not necessarily allow the character of those who flock to belief in and adherence to this doctrine to
bias our judgement concerning the doctrines relevance and validity.

Roles and scripts mediate the self-consciousness of the person in ordinary life. To glimpse the
objective self which is orchestrating and implementing these roles one must apply the
psychologically trained observers eye to what is continuous versus what is discontinuous about
the persons behavior and style of behavior within each and all of these social contexts in which
the various roles and scripts are played out.

The sharper ones state of consciousness, the more one finds oneself daily confronted by
contradiction, incongruity, absurdity, and all that is hollow and false not unlike the growing
paradoxicalness of the dream when the self is in the act of attempting to rouse itself by dropping
ever more hints for itself of the falseness, unreality, and arbitrariness of the dreamscape. So it is
not that the appearance of incongruity and contradiction galvanizes the self into awakening so
much as the advent of contradiction signals the already upward movement of consciousness.

Is cognitive slippage characterized by a crystallizing coherence of the heretofore incongruous?

Investigate the implications of belief systems, particularly Christianity, being the product of

a Darwinian evolution model of adaptive radiation, do not really do so because of the random
nature of the forces producing this variation.
October 2011
The Internet offers us a virtually (no
pun intended) ideal laboratory for the study of the dynamics of memetic forces because of the time
compression involved: the time scale on which the mutation, metastasis and viral replication of
memes takes place there is highly compressed, and several centuries of doctrinal innovation
such as what transpired during the first three hundred years after the advent of Christianity can be
played out within mere weeks or months (in some instances, days) a time compression ration of
between 1000:1 and 100,000:1! When people experience epiphanies or insights the mind is
usually in a particularly receptive and even suggestive state, one in which the insight is more likely
to be accepted or acted upon. What is called automatic writing is a typical example of this and
remember that the first five books (Pentateuch) of the Bible were originally written down at a time
when the Middle East was still heavily steeped in a long standing religious oral tradition in which
the appearance of writing was still new and likely regarded as suspect, as well as mystical and
magical. The mental facilities, which mature literate cultures notaly lack, i.e., that of
spontaneously devising and innovating orally transmitted tales and of easily committing long
skeins of these to active memory, more or less overnight had to be combined with a process of the
editorial production of myths and folktales in textual form. This enabled a greater ideational
fluency and mastery of these oral traditions though now in the presence of the relative social
vacuum provided by the specialized context of a literate priesthood. But the strength of the back
reaction of the self upon itself while in the act of retelling a mythic narrative or folktale may have
been greater for a priest or scribe who was instead solitary while in the act of setting this tale down
in writing for the first time. It is not altogether certain whether those literate few of that distant
time fully understood that the subvocalizations echoing in their minds upon rereading the sacred
scriptures originated merely with the self, c.f., The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of
the Bicameral Mind (Jaynes). I have often noted that I experience strange or notable coinidences
during periods and with much more frequency when I am at once experiencing a greater flow and
variety of ideas. And my having instituted the habit of always keeping a pencil and pad of paper
within ready reach, including at my bedside coincided with a steadily greater influx of insights and
intuitions, which at the time at least appeared worthy of being written down. There is no arguing
the much noted suggestibility of the human mind when in the glowing presence of the written
word. One cannot help but see in this the suggestion that the human mind is not after all unitary in
its conscious functioning, but there is a natural partitioning in the subconscious origin of ideas with
some ideas bearing the distinctive earmarks of having originated within the right hemisphere,
others within the left. Young children are introduced to doctrinal ideas and systems of ideas at a
tender age when their critical faculties have barely begun to form, allowing a goodly number of
years for pregnant messages to be absorbed and internalized. Young children readily accept
theological notions at the same time as they are being introduced to the characters of Santa Claus,
the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy. The theological notions in which these young children are
inculcated were originally conceived by broze age tribal peoples living within a pre-industrial
patriarchical society. There appears to be two distinct types of narrative structure, edited and
unedited. The greater concision, logical clarity and coherence possessed by a narrative, which has
been reprocessed by editing, often in a collective or collaborative context comes at a cost of
authenticity (trueness to the original germinal insight embodied in the narrative). But what this
authenticity points to is the simultaneously creative and disruptive ideational functioning of the
brains right hemisphere. By thinking and perceiving with the whole brain, creativity is
properly seen as originating within the unified self. On the other hand, when an
unsophisticated self stays locked up within a single hemisphere of the brain (bicameral mind),
any notions or ideas, which pass to it from the opposite hemisphere shall inevitably be
misinterpreted as originating from an agent outside the self, i.e., from some supernatural being.
February 2013
A narrative structure of consciousness requires the continual integration of subjectively
perceived time through a memory updating mechanism, which necessarily invokes at least a two
dimensional temporality. Narrative, i.e., coherent and rational temporality, however can only
support a single dimension of time. So if multidimensional time is required for the integration of
the subjective time stream or stream of consciousness and so for the construction of a projective,
egoic self as narrative center of gravity, then the notion of parallel universes must be an apt
metaphor of the suppressed ground of subconsciousness as evinced by the unity of the
autobiographical memory of the explicitly conscious self. Consciousness cannot be incorrigible
while being merely metaphorical, i.e, devoid of a veritable conceptual basis. Metaphor versus
concept consciousness as medium or substance of experience as a projection of the self as an
intentional object and structure of consciousness.

It is likely that there is a profound mismatch in the rates of maturation of the left and right
hemispheres, which has an evolutionary origin, namely, while children are under the guidance and
control of their more powerful parents, the all important function of the critical faculties is expertly
assumed on their behalf. Similar to the way in which the genetic dust bin theory of aging makes
sense of the radically changed natural selective forces operating in old age, one should expect
radically different natural selective pressures acting on the functioning of the genetic regulatory
networks of children. A revealing application of the GDB theory of aging is illustrated in some
outstanding problems observed in nuclear transplantation (cloning) experiments, for example, c.f.,
C. David Allis (2007), . . . If the key "Oct-4 like" genes are not activated, clones die immediately
after implantation. If those genes are activated, the clone may survive to birth and beyond. These
considerations argue that cloned animals, even if appearing "normal" at superficial inspection,
may not be so but may harbor subtle abnormalities that become phenotypically manifest only at
later ages (Jaenisch 2004). . .

And of course, there is nothing special or unique about a virus that it does not share with any
appropriately structured set of instructions, though which cannot be attributed to the virus so
much as to the fundamental properties of the informational medium in which the virus lives.
Although it is interesting to note that a virus functions somewhat in the role of a contextualizer or
perhaps, rather a recontextualizer of context. The virus changes the rules of the game as it
were. Epigentic and genetic regulatory networks, which provide the interpretive context for any
genetic base pair sequence, and which functioned optimally during one phase of the life of the
organism, dont disappear once the organism enters successive phases of its life cycle these
networks are still in place and are not so much switched off as they come to require less obvious
sequences of instructions for their activation. The logic here is similar to that of how the
self-organizing forces (SOF) of chemical evolution (CE) dont have to stop upon the advent of a
unit of heredity at which the forces of Darwinian natural selection (DWS) commence to operate.
Because DWS occurs always within the context of SOF, mutations to the DNA molecule are
anything but random. The GRN does not so much as, e.g., guide embryological development as it
taps into and puts to work the dynamic, self-organizing properties of atoms and molecules, which
are in turn informed in their transformations by the dynamics of the quantum vacuum
electromagnetic fields. This makes DNA effectively an electromagnetic waveguide for the
transduction (as opposed to the transmission) of quantum information.

Yeah,
textbook, alright. But I had about 10 months to read it! : ) Kind of shows that mutations aren't
really random because a mutation only can contribute to advancing evolution if it is first registered
by the already existing gene regulatory network. Epigenetics acts in the role of the higher level
programming language facilitating this. I'm not an expert so I'm speculating somewhat here.
What in the hell ever got you interested in Epigenetics? The field did not even exist 20 years ago
by the way. Evolutionary biology has not yet absorbed this new subfield. Darwinian theory says
that information can only flow out of the genome, never into it. This doesn't make sense because
all information networks involve feedback, which is necessariliy two-way. The two pillars of
Darwinian evolution are "natural selection" of "random mutations". Epigenetics also shows that
mutations aren't random because they are selected by the gene regulatory network (as cybernetic
control system) and that this selection isn't at all "natural". Epigenetic changes do not change any
base pair sequences, just the manner in which these sequences are expressed. So any given
sequence does not have a predetermined meaning, but always depends upon the gene regulatory
and epigenetic contexts. So "blind" cause-and-effect is not at all what is involved here, but the
operation of a language *and* an ongoing "interpreter" of this language. (Again, no preset genetic
meanings).

Epigenetics provides a mechanism by which the evolving breeding
population can back react upon the environment and in turn upon the forces of natural selection
themselves.

Because of the syntactic and semantic properties of the genome-ribosome system, nucleotide base
pair sequences function in the role of meaningful (or potentially meaningful) character strings. I
am still trying to understand
au=
Jacques Monods statement that the meaning of the codon is
arbitrary. I seem to recall Monod saying that the arbitrariness of the meaning of gene sequences
had something to do with the nonlocal nature of the mechanism of codon decoding by the
ribosome.
October 2011
One of the outstanding attributes of the syntactic/semantic system
represented by that of the DNA codon is the seeming built-in resistance of DNA to the would be
effects of the Chinese whispers phenomenon. Part of the robustness of DNA may be
attributable to the meaning degeneracy of energetically continguous or closely neighboring base
pair sequences. This same principle of robustness could also show up in other degeneracies, e.g.,
protein conformational states. Such examples of operational energy degeneracy point up the
coherence and cohesiveness of the mechanisms of DNA (
@$
DNA sequences are the expression of
what?) and protein expression, which transcend the combinational/ permutational paradigm of
random discrete change. (Discreteness forms the very component of this robustness, which we
are talking around.) Vast in between regions within the rugged fitness landscape (fitness
here is understood in terms of chemical stability instead of the usual acceptation of Darwinian
fitness) of the DNA combinational-permutational computational state space must function as
buffer or null zones, barriers of chemical potential differences between neighboring though
non-contiguous 3d conformational states.

The evolution of living systems without the emergence of consciousness corresponds to the
evolution of Christianity without a real, divine Savior. But the evolution of life with the ultimate
emergence of consciousness points to the existence of objective truth preconditions, e.g., here that
of Christ having objective if not factual-historical significance. In other words, the way a
message is received has relevance to the question of whether there is purpose and intention behind
its symbolic realization. This is part of the intimate relation between will (intention) and
consciousness. Robustness of the message points to an element beyond selection within a field
of randomly given possibilities. Christ is a metaphysical reality, even though He has, perhaps,
only been imperfectly manifested within historical time.

Deconstruction seems a most creative variety of criticism, paradoxically enough. Does
deconstruction presume to have metaphysical presence on its side? Without objective
probabilities, we only have deterministic intersection of causal chains that had never before
interacted.

Nature versus Nurture
Work determines consciousness Marx. . . Consciousness equally determines work (means of
production that the individual selects as his mode of making a living).

If the means of production and worker consciousness do not stem from the same ground, then their
mutual interaction must define dialectic, which is to say a dynamic. Dialectic is an evolutionary
process that is not reducible to an unfolding or manifestation of hidden, preexistent order
(immanent or transcendent) this because of the requirement of a plurality of contingently related
though essentially separated grounds.
Dialectic naturally cuts across the duality of immanent versus transcendent because this duality is
specific to a particular ground.
Dialectic catches the transcendent order up into temporal process by exposing its plurality,
resulting in the performance of metaphysical work.
The Internet should facilitate a paradigm shift in the nature of social organization, evolution of
thought, and of communication, due to its having expanded the domain of these sociocultural
phenomena, c.f., Structure of Scientific Revolutions, Kuhn, concerning the defining conditions for
shift of paradigms.
Paradigm shifts and Goedels Incompleteness Theorem. The Intelligible versus The Rational . .

Deconstructive analysis seeks to effect a paradigm shift in the analyzed work, which was
"always already". Level, c.f.., A Brief History of Epigenetics, Gary Felsenfeld, . . . With this
knowledge has come the understanding that epigenetic mechanisms may in fact be responsible for
a considerable part of the phenotype of complex organisms. As is often the case, an observation
that at first seemed interesting but perhaps marginal to the main issues turns out to be central,
although it may take a long time to come to that realization.

Truth which is transcendent in the sense that we cannot make it objective because we are too
involved with it versus transcendent in the sense of utterly remote, indifferent, platonic truth, i.e.,
one way flow of information. Dialogical versus univocal truth, etc.

One indeterminate ground connects to another through elaboration/ development of an abstract
symbolic system which, when sufficiently fleshed out, back-reacts upon the ground through the
fine details originally suppressed in order to form the foundational abstract categories of the
formal, symbolic system. Forms derived from indeterminate ground destabilize it. Poetic
expressions bypass the discursive, analytical mind, which suppresses the peripheral details,
recapturing what was filtered out via an evolution of the complexity and tight cohesion of the filter
structures. The permutational-combinational model of the possibility space fails when one is
forced to take perspective born of depth, i.e, and inferred and/or perhaps implied additional
dimension that possesses content not determinately present within the n-1 dimensional field.
The Boltzmann brain hypothesis raises the possibly neurotic concern that ones consciousness is
only transient and momentary and that the memories one senses within any given moment of
conscious experience is always an illusion in the normal sense of reference to the usual
intersubjective world, but not an illusion in the sense that there must be other Boltzmann brains
that indeed contain the conscious experiences referred to by the supposedly illusory memories
recollected within ones own Boltzmann brain. A quantum entangled infinite network of
Boltzmann brains collaboratively projecting spacetime in which each is an avatar inhabitant.
The Boltzmann brain hypothesis appears logically inconsistent because the astrophysical evidence
for the cosmological theory that supports the BB hypothesis is revealed as illusory.
@$
Although
if the BB hypothesis were true, wouldnt one expect the system of appearances projected by the
BB to be consistent with a true BB hypothesis? On the other hand, if we are to preserve the
current findings of astrophysics and cosmology and the interpretations of these findings, i.e.,
cosmological theories, then wont we will have to accept the notion of a vacuum fluctuation
more likely producing a brain embedded in an intelligent species with an evolutionary heritage on
a planet occupying the habitable zone of a class G yellow dwarf star constituted from a universe
boasting of an astrophysics of fine-tuned physical constants where there is significant input of
information from outside the system. For if we once again turn to the notion of the mix-master
multiverse, random chance and the Anthropic Cosmological Principle to account for the otherwise
unlikely order we see all around us, we are again saddled with the inconsistencies posed by the
Boltzmann brain hypothesis. In other words, a
@$
Boltzmann brain is not more probable (as a
fluctuation) than is a whole universe possessing myriad real brains because of the input of
information from outside the system. We have to ask ourselves: What is the nature of this
outside source of information input? Given the always alreadiness of an intelligent ground of
being, the probabilities of real universe versus Boltzmann brain is exactly reversed. 2010

Data is context-free information and information is contextualized data. There is another
distinction to be made along an axis between noise and signal, which I believe cuts across the axis
of data-information. New contexts can come into being, which can create new information from
the same data. The interpretation of data is not predetermined and so information may not really
be conserved quantity (in general). However, *quantum information* may indeed *be* a
conserved quantity, which addresses your point about us not being able to be "deleted". On a
computer hard drive for example, "deletion" of data only means removing the "directory tree" that
allows the CPU to access the data on the hard drive, which remains in place. Since the brain is
probably just a filter and "interface device" acting between multiple topological sectors of the
quantum vacuum (between multiple "Boltzmann brains", if you will), the brain is itself just a
directory tree of the quantum vacuum's accessing data from itself. The question is whether the
class of Boltzmann brains represented by the identity, "Ziad Fahd" is the most general property of
Boltzmann brains or not?
August 2012
What dynamic medium is it that resonantly tunes to a
succession of Boltzmann brains. Can Boltzmann brains be constituted into classes based on the
category of consciousness, ID structures of consciousness that posits a category subsuming a

It is clear that the highest evolved functions of biological structures are those that are capable of
accessing the subtlest levels of quantum dynamics (thus far reached). So is only application what
is newly produced by evolution, i.e., structures of boundary conditions upon the underlying
dynamical ground, or does evolution actually back-react upon this dynamical ground so as to alter
its dynamics. If so, then this would affect the function of structures that were perhaps long ago
already evolved into their present forms. This would be a genuine case of a higher level of
description informing a lower one, which is to say a sort of reverse emergence or, more
strangely, a kind of back-engineering of the dynamics by the boundary conditions. Without this
possibility of reverse emergence it would appear that all evolution succeeds in doing is taking
latent, unexpressed order and transforming it into actual, expressed order. Evolution on this
view would not be responsible for any net increase in the amount of information in the universe.
We might term the actual creation of new order through physical temporal change involution. It
is only when the ground of being comes into contact with its other that this type of genuine
evolution (involution) may actually occur. It appears that genuine novelty is only possible though
the interaction of the ground of being with transcendence. An example of transcendence might
be the simultaneous co-presence of all conscious mental states. But if transcendence is
necessarily category-busting, then the phrase, simultaneous co-presence of all conscious mental
states could not succeed in picking out a particular set of entities out of the field of reality if
a search of the universe of discourse (intersubjectivity ~ objectivity) must necessarily turn up
empty. There are two views of the distinction of the denotative vs. connotative: 1) what a 2
nd

3

person party says must be enclosed in quotations, e.g., I exist while what a 1
st
person party
says may be correctly inscribed without quotes, e.g., I exist. 2) any proposition uttered,
regardless of by whom must always be enclosed within quotation marks. But the force of using
cannot be derived independently of the notion of naked utterances. How do we
distinguish evidence for something being the case from evidence for somethings mere
possibility? Or is all evidence of possibility to be counted as evidence of fact? What about
probability based upon logical analysis of heretofore unquestioned metaphysical assumptions
lying behind current physical/ cosmological theory?

Does the evolution of thought demonstrate that concepts (if coherent and intelligible) always point
beyond their initial scope (of comprehensiveness and comprehensibility).

Mathew 11:25 The Truth of the Word of God can only be understood through the guidance of the
Spirit. Man cannot discern the Truth of the Word of God by his own understanding.

If Man is simply a higher primate, then there is no reason for Man to see any special truth or

Had all humans been born with dark-lensed, designer sunglasses permanently affixed to their

actuality but only as a perturbation of the actual. What is the nature of the ground that makes
intelligible the far-fetched seeming hypothetical? Nonsensical hypotheticals can be used in
stepping stones in valid trains of speculation.

There is not consciousness as such and yet there is suchness itself. What is the paradox here?

Perturbation theory/ Perturbation paradigm. Is it possible to perturb a paradigm as one does a

complexity of a the theoretical description of a physical system to, say, the first or second order?
According to the nature of paradigm as making the outer reaches or boundary of scientific
speculative consciousness, there seems no place for the notion of metaparadigm,

How is it that critical theories and/or methodologies, i.e., behaviorism, deconstruction, radical
skepticism, falsifiability theory, strong AI thesis, Darwinian evolution theory, etc. are capable of
escaping their own sweeping critiques by, e.g., in essence, successfully asserting that assertions
are impossible (in the case of deconstruction), or, there is no logical thought as such but merely
stimulus and response of the organisms nervous system (as in the case of Behaviorism). To
prove the unintelligibility of something is not to disprove this things existence. The relevant
question here is: is a requirement of Being its rationality, or stronger still, its intelligibility?

For tens of thousands of generations, the age of 40 represented the near extreme of human life
span. Rather than directly competing with younger members of the hunter-gatherer band for
mates or, indirectly, through physical prowess displayed on the hunt or in combat with members of
enemy tribes, the older individual proved valuable as a kind of consultant or mentor, perhaps also
as a spiritual leader such as shaman or witch doctor. Divisions of labor within the clan would
also be selected for and eventually incorporated into recurring genetic combinations within the
clans offspring with relative frequencies consistent with the required relative percentage
representation of the innate talents for each labor specialty promoting the clans survival.
@$
What are selected for within evolution are not so much the genes themselves as their expression
or non-expression at relevant times. Genes triggering or controlling the implementation of
behavioral programs beneficial to a tribal sage, for example, may have proved positively
deleterious to a 16-year-old member of the clan.

Equal rights under the law Differential privileges within the market. How can it be
simultaneously true that 1) the self is a social (sociolinguistic) construction and 2) every other
person with which one becomes well acquainted is just a projection of some aspect of the self (for
all practical-social purposes and intents, that is, in an exclusively epistemological rather than a
metaphysical sense)? The self is a social construction societyself; society is composed of
individuals who are manifestations and projections of the selfsociety. This is one way of breaking
down the self-referential structure of society, which is akin to the echo chamber/hall of mirror
self-referentiality of the economy, e.g., economic indicators feed into the dynamics that is
generating what these indicators quantify. Perhaps if representations are understood in light of
the ruling metaphor of an economy, as currency, i.e., which is continually exchanged, invested,
charged or paid as interest, etc.? Is natural law the opposite side of the coin of a social

In a world without Time, the Fecundity Principle inevitably spells contradiction.

Evil necessarily exists within the created order because Goodness, although unified within the
Divine nature beyond Time, loses this perfect unity within Time. There is an impulse for
Goodness to regather itself into a new unity within creation that, of course, can never really
become a finished project.

Human beings could not have been created with knowledge of Good and Evil, but only with the
potential or capacity for acquiring this knowledge, outside of the presence of the Creator. This
knowledge of Evil, therefore can only be instilled through experience, that is, through the
experience of suffering (physical and psychological).

Evil is necessary in the unbounded
process of soul formation. Evil in this context of so-called soul formation may be considered the
metaphysical equivalent to experience as essential to the building of character in a more worldly
context. In this sense, evil, if it could be shown to be a principle independent of and transcending
that of mere privation (absence of good), would be compelling testimony to the givenness of good
as more than the mere absence of material evil.
@$
Because the presense of self-consciousness
and free volition disrupts the disjoint nature of good vs. evil in the sense of making impossible an
exhaustively case-covering juxtaposition of dual categories, good and evil as distinctly active,
dynamic principles each in their own right become genuinely possible. This is the connection of
original sin to the concept of a will distinct from the Divine Will.

Goodness possesses no quality as such in the absence of Evil, i.e., Goodness in its absolute nature
is simply the transcendent, divine essence. Goodness, mediated through temporality, that is,
plurality, results in a tension between the myriad acts of self-limiting on the part of this goodness
in its attempt to know itself.
1
This self-knowing can only be engendered in relation to the other.
There are two basic forms to ignorance, that by the transcendent of its other selves, and that of the
limitation of the Transcendent, i.e., the self, of its transcendent origin. Goodness is it
simultaneous forming and giving up of attachments. But attachments must be formed in order to
be given up in order for Goodness to realize its true nature. Beyond time and limitation, the
divine attributes remain in an undifferentiated state. Christ represents the perfect differentiation
of the Divine Attributes within limitation and represents the template by which all transcendent
beings are to accomplish the same goal. There is God before the advent of Christ and then there
is God after this advent. Christs spirit, or higher self, is the Holy Spirit. God the Father is
good, but only realizes this good through His Son, Jesus Christ.

Folk metaphysics maintains that everything occurs in threes. This seemingly uncanny
phenomenon of everyday life may be partly explained in terms of some basic principles of

appearance.

Consciousness, in other words, as the basis in which forms manifest must itself fall outside of the
scope of all possible formal manifestations. It occupies the radical outside, if you will.
Consciousness does not originate within spacetime and then somehow magically transcend this
constitutive matrix at some later time, say, as a result of having acquired within itself collection of
forms as one of its preexistent structures, nor as a result of its having been driven or induced to
newly assume some one of its already given possible modes. But consciousness, if it is
transcendent, must be so by its very nature. All consciousness, if it is transcendent, must be so
by its very nature. All consciousness is transcendent consciousness. The notion of
transcendence is incompatible with that of necessary or sufficient conditions for some entity
possessing or exhibiting transcendence. If there are conditions for consciousness being
(Being), these conditions are not of a temporal nature. We may be quite puzzled at the notion of
conditionals that do not invoke the element of time and question the meaning and validity of such
a category of conditional. The concept of modularity must be much more broadly understood if
the concept of timeless conditionals is to be given a rational explication. Is the temporal
nature of the will, when acting freely, merely an epiphenomenal effect of this wills interference
with elements embedded within the spacetime continuum?

The most compelling work of scholarship must convince prospective critics that its thesis was all

Feynmanns facetious unified theory equation,

U = 0, the total unworldliness

in the Universe is 0, has some interesting underlying implication, one of which is that, the details
of the structure (interpreted broadly here to include function) of the universe, which are important,
are incorporated into abstract features coordinated via closed form, analytic expressions, and those
details, at the present stage of theoretical development, are to be found (and eventually shall be
found) just on the other side of what we might conveniently term, the wall of abstractness.
Simultaneous with this is the assumption that none of the details on either side of this barrier
have been placed there by us. Although abstraction is the defining operation of the important
faculty of the mind (and therefore of the mind itself, known as intellect, and therefore should be
supposed to possess a key subjective element (this may turn out to be only with respect to the
actual impulse to formulate an abstraction or abstract category, say, through coordinated impulses
of will and perception), what is left behind on the other side of the barrier) is nonetheless
supposed to be 100% objectively real.

Is there some divine equivalent to the FCC which assures that each persons quantum vacuum

Impulses of the survival mode, e.g., competition for scarce, life-sustaining resources, had to be
placed somewhere for safe-keeping until such time as they might again be needed. If all of these
suppressed competitive urges and impulses are stored within the very same compartment of the
conscious, i.e., social-oriented sub-basement of the mind, then left to themselves for long
periods may form among themselves some integrated, self-sustaining nexus with its own instinct
for self-preservation, not able to differentiate substantive from merely abstract or symbolic,
representational threats divorced as these impulses have been from the more rational,
social-oriented self, an ongoing participant in the mutuality of relatively peaceful hunter-gatherer
existence. Left with the residue of abstract categories and relations of the rational self but cut off
from the active guidance of this self, the creature concretizes the symbolic rather the opposite
function to that of the intellect, that of abstracting from the concrete flux of the senses.

One of the principles of karmic influence is that of the exhibiting of large, and even grand scales of

Interesting here is the notion of this karmic principle applied to another principle or rather its
operation, that of sublimation, which is intimately related to the cultural complexity of bot the
individual and higher levels of social organization.

If the Ghost in the Machine model of the human self is approximately valid, and there seems
good reason to suppose that it is, then what basis have we for the assumption that ones individual
self is to be identified absolutely with the ghost and only relatively (or contingently) with the

identifying our true identities with the eternal spirit and not the temporal primate organism, itself
destined to ultimate ruin, death, and decay?

It seems that body and spirit are really a temporary symbiosis, each utilizing the faculties of the
other to implement its own selfish aims: the creaturely organism gives the spirit access to impulse,
sensation, and experience, while the spirit gives the creature access to consciousness and
rationality. It is an equitable exchange between spirit and creature of a higher order means of
survival for the means by which Spirit may perform its metaphysical work ( of co-creation) within
the realm of the limited. Is salvation then just the proper identification of the symbiant with the
aims of the indwelling Spirit. Is there any bleeding over into the creatures world of that which
registers within the realm of the Spirit as it actively engages itself with projects within other realms
of the limited? Although coupled together at the level of the mutually grappling intentions of
each, there is naturally no mutual recognition by each of the alterity of the other. Perhaps the
basis for compassion and humility is to be found in this mutual recognition at the level of
consciousness rather than of opposed or merely accidentally consonant wills.

Symmetry breaking of the unified consciousness field and Lurianic Kabbalah. The phenomenon

One should choose an open-ended name, one amenable or adaptable to an evolving interpretation.

Justification for ones life style does not consist merely in a pat-sounding account in the form of a
plea for excuses in combination with the enlisted support of a network of like-minded
individuals this would be a mere rhetorical-political justification basis for ones way of life.
The truth from which all real justification/ apologetics flows must transcend politics, which
constitutes a kind of expedience on a grand scale.

Had culture and social organization been evolutionary epiphenomena, i.e., had they had no effect
upon either natural or sexual selection, then the interpretation of modern man as a species of
primitive, hunter-gatherers, forced to adopt to life in advanced, industrialized society, would
undoubtedly come across as ridiculous and far-fetched.

We cannot arrive at a clear notion of what makes for consciousness, that is, its substance, simply
by making a sufficiently comprehensive cataloguing and study of its forms and content. We
must already know (secretly, at least) what consciousness essentially is if we are to identify novel
manifestation (form) of it, even though such a discovery would mean seeing, under some
altogether new unsuspected aspect, the way in which all of its forms, with which we have enjoyed
long familiarity, have exhibited consciousness consistent with the new understanding of
consciousness broader essence.

If information cannot be transmitted, then how is it that a person is an open informational system?
Mental and physical are formed as are will and consciousness Will provides the cohesion for
consciousness which, in turn, provides will with its objects/representations.

Things come into and go out of existence. Is this true of Being? Is God the same thing as
Being? Or is God what makes for the possibility of Being?

Consciousness is integration within an open-ended context with which one has real time
interaction. Integration which takes place along lines not recognizable by the collective.
Coherence is no proof of truth as is attested by the phenomenon of insanity. An inflexible
template applied to the open-ended context. The one explicates here actions in terms of history
and the other in terms of the present context. Karma is the signature imprint of the individuals

collective upon this same dynamic. Does a finite time span of consciousness imply that all its
structures are formed of standing waves?

If the single helix were truly like a symbol string (ideographic or phonetic) then would the genetic
sequence for a specific protein truly be, as Monod says, arbitrary? But what if the proteins coded
for are themselves subject to interpretation? This suggests a structural system of interrelated

Mutual gene therapy as the literal fulfillment of becoming one flesh. The means by which the
literal implementation of the erstwhile merely metaphysical is to be accomplished itself has
important symbolic significance.

The transformation of the metaphorical into a form of its literal acting out and fulfillment seems to
hold special and, in some cases, almost spiritual significance for many human beings.

There is no experience so profound that its significance cannot be broadened and deepened within
the inspired imagination of humankind.

The fundamental error in the attempt to clarify and simplify holy scriptures is that of attempting
the bypassing of the necessary guidance of the Spirit. If successful, this would be a kind of
short circuiting of the understanding of the truth of Scripture.

The act of expression creates the conditions for the expression of that which is not already in the

(Notes from conversation with Jennie Tucker McClesky, evening of July 26, 2000)

Hexagram Histograms. One throws the I Ching using either sticks or coins until one has thrown
all 64 Hexagrams, however many throws this might take. One records each of the wishes under
its respective Hexagram. A bar graph of number of wishes versus hexagrams reveals the relative
frequency of hexagrams thrown during the length of the session extending from the first throw
until the throw upon which the last hexagram appears. The interpretation of the above histogram
is difficult and uncertain in the case where the wishes are changed with each throw much easier if
the wish is kept constant.

Sheldrakean explanation of the evolution of the method of interpreting the hexagrams. The
interpretation of the hexagrams evolves as a result of centuries of empirical observation of the
effects of their use.

The hexagrams could be thrown utilizing a small quantity of radioactive material of known,
relatively short half-life. This quantity of radioactive material would be placed in appropriate
proximity of a geiger-mueller tube connected a digital counting device. The registering of a
decay within the period of a half-life could be interpreted as either a 0 or a 1. Since the
assignment of a 0 to, e.g., tails and 1 to heads is entirely arbitrary at least upon the initial
occasion of performing this experiment, c.f., Rupert Sheldrake, The Presence of the Past, a number
of observations are here in order.

The hexagrams must exhibit a duality therefore upon the initial performance of the above
experiment. Considering that the I Ching has been in use for many centuries, it is difficult to
conceive of how the duality of the system of hexagrams of the I Ching, implied by the assumed
equivalence of the throwing of sticks and the throwing of coins in the determination of each
hexagram, could alter significantly over the course of a series of trials extending over the lifetime
of a single person. This duality poses a problem for the assumption that the specific manner in
which the hexagrams are thrown and the specific implements used with which to perform the
throwing of the hexagrams, if the hexagrams are understood to convey messages containing some
objective validity and/or content originating outside the mind of the person casting throws.

The motivation for implementing the throwing of the I Ching via use of a device sensitive to
radioactive decays are the many speculations concerning an connection between the quantum state
of an isolated physical system and the quantum state of the human brain.

It is not for nothing that each individual strives and suffers during his or her life on this Earth,
wending his way between hope and fear, joy and sorrow, faith and disillusionment, etc., but
something from his or her experience is deposited in some form into the ground of the existence of
all, c.f., Sheldrake.

Upon my first throwing of the I Ching, I encountered the 64

dual complement to this hexagram and what is its interpretation?

Metaphor reveals the hidden pervasiveness of abstract structures. Metaphor is an exemplar of
abstract structure that cannot be predicted. Contingency is based in the evolution of possibility

No viable mechanism for the furthering of evolution is left unutilized, e.g., the encoding of
individual experience into reality. Of course, too much unity is a bad thing. Elements and
subsystems must possess a certain degree of autonomy if the system of which they are a part is not
to function in too great isolation. On the other hand, the system must retain a certain necessary
degree of integrity as a whole, if it is to profitably combine the separately originating contributions
of its constituent elements and subsystems.

Chronic narcissistic fantasization may be thought of as a kind of hemorrhaging of the sublimation

Alternatively, this mental masturbation may be understood as a short-circuiting of the tripartite

Individual consciousness has this special function over and above serving the interests of the

God chose out of his great love to share his divinity with other beings. The individual human
soul was created not within time but as having always existed, i.e., had being as itself a
transcendent, infinite being, possessing creativity, but only within the realm of limitation
(spacetime).
@$
Human experience is our gift to God and divinity is Gods gift to us. This
exchange of human and divine gifts is best realized within the figure of Jesus Christ.

Might the Karmic principle operate on both external and internal time scales? The Karmic
principle may be a manifestation f the fact that reality is intersubjective rather than objective which
means that reality (as such, or, such as it is) is overdetermined along myriad distinct though
interrelated realities. The individual personal realities would not be recognizable by us as
such because each of our personal worlds is actually our individual interpretation of a collective,
social construct. Superposition is of ghostlike copies of classical worlds, differing from each
other in only inessential details. The collectivity upon which the world of appearances is based
is qualitatively different from the individual worlds comprised by it.

The most general property of consciousness is identity-in-difference. What would provoke a
human being to question that which is mot familiar about his daily existence? Words are always
interpreted in terms of other words.
Deconstruction always adopts linguistic devices that attempt to resist its own deconstruction.
These devices are themselves deconstructions of the larger text of which they are a part.

It is the nature of Mans arrogance to interpret the fact of his making in the image of God as his

Sometimes the answer to a question is yes and no. Some either/or questions presuppose an
invalid or incoherent dual distinction or falsely assume existence, e.g., are some krundelbleetzes
blue, yes or no? So the theorems of logic and mathematics are not independent of semantics.

We cannot fairly evaluate the value or meaning of experience at the personal or individual level by
placing this context against the backdrop of the grand scale of the impersonal or collective (hive or
societal perspective).

Although it is usually difficult to recognize signs/indications through contrast with past patterns
than it is by contrasting with latter developing patterns.

One would love to go back and relive all those choice moments of ones past as everything would
seem so real because one would be acting the whole time. Reasons for our actions, always good
enough, can always be added to.

The facility of communication of abstract, intersubjective content has disguised the uniqueness of
the individuals personal experience, even from his awareness.

Individual-based venue for genetically, behavioristically determined experience taking place

postmodernism is proof of a neurotic philosophic consciousness.

There must exist some most appropriate literal state of affairs that a beautiful poetic metaphor
perfectly describes. The Platonic forms may not be abstract concepts or categories, but may be
metaphors, which require experience for their definition as well as the context embedding this
experience.

Platonic order as maniacal overkilling substantiation of any truth claim. (Unnecessary for adequate
support of truth claims)

Absolute truth is nevertheless truth relative to some fixed and eternal system of relations. In the
absence of such a timeless, more than large enough to support multiple, conflicting truth claims.

Only on the assumption of a corresponding theory of truth does a truth claim necessitate an
existential claim.

Any truth claim can be surmounted by an adequately subtle and extended (over time) shifts in
consciousness. All logical arguments are at some level based upon an equivocation of sense
since consciousness can always invent and establish still subtler distinctions than can be
suppported by the categories, and hence, class relationships presupposed in rational argument.
All rational argument is then ultimately discourse-ive.

There are private language constraints as well as intersubjective openness in the fitting or adapting
of subjective intuition to collective rationality. These subjective constraints upon insight can
inform prior art as well as requiring a dialectical process of adaptation to and from this prior art.

Fundamentally different types of people tend to view each others character strengths as crippling
limitations. Another views one persons philosophy as rationalization for failure while the
philosophy of the first person is viewed by the other as an ad hoc justification for living an
inauthentic life.

Altered states of consciousness held a coherent social and cultural function within early primitive,
tribal hunter-gatherer societies. The capability to attain nonordinary states of consciousness as
well as the tendency to seek out substances in the natural environment for creating or enhancing
such states of consciousness has been selected for during many thousands of generations.

Most of the behavior disorders, including those traceable to brain chemical or neurotransmitter
imbalances, may be traced to a normal reaction of an essentially psychically whole hunter-gatherer
forced for too long to live within a cacophonous late 20
th
century urban society. This situation is
further combined with the notable absence of formerly long available pathways of psychic and
social integration, e.g., tribal ritual, myth, religion, and collectively a pharmacologically mediated
altered states of consciousness. Such altered states of consciousness permitted human beings to
become one with (by perhaps gaining a sense of being immersed within) a transcendent being/
continuum, either personal or impersonal, as well as to gain a sense of becoming one with all the
members of their tribe/ clan. It was independently, and certainly accidentally, discovered that an
echoing, pounding sound stirred oneself and others to synchronous movement, and also helped to
produce a state of being more suggestible to both commands and communications.

If young people are not provided with a sufficiently competitive, if you will, social structure (with
accompanying selections of viable personae definitions), then the genetically determined default
mode is brought out and adapted to the prevailing modes of expression and communication that
most lend themselves to this.

Relative differences in ones own consciousness from one moment to the next or in the
consciousness of one person and another may be made the proper subject of theory and
speculation, however, not so for consciousness in its naked, absolute essence.

Distinctions are always defined or noted, consciously or secretly, in view of either an a priori or
already established category within which these distinctions are made. There are certain
distinctions therefore which can only be made with respect to consciousness given the existence
(or subsistence, if you will) of some a priori concept or category of consciousness as such.

Without consciousness, there is not a grasping of latent or potential order from out of its
camouflage of chaos. The appearance of one structure in no way suggests another. How are
we to interpret the notion of the creation de novo of something as being suggested by something
already present to hand?

Metaphors frequently possess little of any actual descriptive value, but the metaphors a name is
recommended by a fusion of pleasant if extremely vague and subjective associations.

Consciousness necessarily involves action and agency in the fundamental sense of origination and
self-moving. It is the primum mobile of the conscious mind that forever possesses the potential
to act in a manner that cannot be anticipated by any kind of universal causal medium or ground.
Hence, the necessity of the action of consciousness in collapsing the quantum state vector. The
will collapses the wavefunction because it acts from an origin positioned, if you will, altogether
from outside the deterministic spacetime of the Schrodinger equation. This is what assures the
transcendent nature of the will and why we should speak of it as being free. Of course, there can
be no naturalistic explanation (in the traditional acceptation of this word) for the origin of either
the consciousness of the individual or that of consciousness as such.

Potential is not fixed, once for all, in advance, nor do potentials come into being, evolve and so on,
in accordance with the dictates of potential potentials as this kind of thinking leads to an infinite
regress. Both potential and actual are abstractions, the distinction between them being
merely relative.

The degree and quality of the interface between the transcendent, higher self and its brain
account for differences in the intellectual abilities between persons.

The determination of certain types of truth and fact necessarily involves feedback, participation,
give-and-take between investigator and the subject of study which to some extent necessitates a
certain self-fulfilling of prophecy. To deeply probe nature is to at once probe into the penumbra
of the brains dynamic and reactive embedding substrate. At some deeper level of probing into
the affairs of natural processes, nature drops her guise of passivity and takes up an active,
cooperative role in more fully determining herself. We say that nature reacts passively and
deterministically to the application of an impulse or stimulus to one of her external inputs and
actively and creatively when this stimulus is applied to one of her internal inputs.

Like the human psyche, nature is comprised by both active and passive components, i.e., dynamics
as well as kinetics. Knowledge that is representational is transferable through discursive
symbolic communication, i.e., communication in which there is no direct coupling of the dynamics
of one mind to that of another. On the other hand, knowledge that is participatory is not
transferable symbolically.

Consciousness is relevant to the question of what exactly drives the collapse of the wavefunction
in its role in binding and integrating processes that must be described as being nonlocally
connected. Will or intention is relevant to this same problem in the sense that will, when
expressed in bodily action or even as mere thought, introduces a disturbance to the continuum of
the quantum vacuum wholly or essentially unanticipated by it. Novelty is generated as a result
of the intervention of human action (will) in the affairs of the quantum vacuum. The quantum
vacuum must at once quickly improvise a response to this human meddling/interference in its
private affairs. This response is a fusing of elements of the human psyche with some of the
quantum vacuum states own elements in which both sets of elements are initially somewhat
incommensurable. The activity of this quantum vacuum is constituted by the combined
collective interaction of all possible transcendent beings.

The only way to in a single stroke reconcile Plato with the fact of real novelty and creativity at the
metaphysical level and not just at the level of physical (manifestation) is to promote these
Platonic forms to the status of creative and free, transcendent minds. The behavior of ideas is
after the fashion of viruses and genes, i.e., mimetics, appears consistent with such an interpretation
of the Platonic forms.

We may think of the human brain (and its associated local dynamics) as being a kind of degenerate
eigenvalue associated with an unlimited number of states, i.e., transcendent beings. The
attempt to encompass the larger, background domain of vacuum dynamics (in which the brains
deterministic dynamics of physical states has representation) so as to uniquely specify the person
associated with the brain in question,
@$
shall only succeed in uncovering a historical event,
namely, that of the transcendent being selecting that particular vacuum dynamic (with the brain
effectively acting as its kernel) as the vehicle or conduit of its own self-limitation. No future
development in physics or brain science shall discover a determinism within the scope of its
refined description of brain processes (and their interplay with those of the vacuum of, e.g., post
quantum physics) which demands that this or that brain (or brain state) be the cause of this or
that particular conscious mental state (of this or that particular person). Fig. 1,

Insofar as our theory of conceptual referring/denoting is an actual description of what happens
inside the head of each person in a conversation, then we should expect our diagram illustrating
the model of the theory to possess self-referentiality, i.e., imagine replacing Person As idea and
Person Bs idea in Fig. 2 with two different versions of the the diagram in Fig. 1 and then
perhaps essentially doing this once more by replacing Context and context within the two
versions of the diagram in Fig. 1 with the diagram in Fig. 2. Inductively this constitutes a
representation of an infinite regress.

Noncommensurability of two distinct dynamical grounds pertains to the lack of
momentum-energy exchange between them in which the distinct grounds indeed are undergoing a
mutual exchange, however one that is completely out of resonance. The resonance of two or
more grounds should be internal to both and external to neither.

In a portable document file (PDF) if on takes the little hand icon and clicks the mouse, causing the

We must each and all agree to play roles that exhibit the logic of timeless themes, but also develop
altogether new existential themes, and these roles must be temporary (in some sense) but this is
complicated by the fact that by transcending mere manifestation within experience, new ground is
brought into being, i.e., Being, itself is enlarged, and the ground of ones own transcendent being
is metaphysically worked upon (metaphysical work is performed). All creativity invokes
metaphysical work.

What are we to think of the fundamental fact that the quantum vacuum supports the existence of
any evolved structure, organic or inorganic, even though such structures are genuinely novel in not
being prefigured as definite potential latent structures of this vacuum? So when a new organic
structure comes in to being, for example, do the processes within the vacuum that sustain the
existence of these new structures themselves also come into being?

Consciousness of the particular individual remains unaltered in the face of all transformations of

The shifting of ground phenomenon is owing to the cumulative effect of collective collapse of a

The occurrence to oneself of a very clear and distinct possibility combined with the recognition of
its heretofore never having been realized, sometimes triggers a keen sense of having a
premonition. If the characteristic density/time (in the probabilistic sense) is comparable to ones
lifetime given the probability rate density and experience volume of the person, then the
occurrence of this event is overdue.

These are all factors, probability rate density, experience volume, etc., which the
subconscious/higher self may indeed be able to calculate. The conscious mind is alerted to all
reasonable probabilities.


Because it is truly only our otherwise that is vulnerable to the insults of embodied, spatiotemporal
existence, one feels that tragedy is only likely to befall others a clear case of the equivocation by
the ego between two quite distinct metaphorical acceptations of a concept the origin of our

What better medium in which the infinite regress of causation/explication, can have its being as
already completed, than that which is at once both most singular and, pardoxically, most general
(because the precondition of all thought) as well as the seat/ground of both will and
representation, that being, consciousness. And ended reality (transcending any single
unification) this medium is actually a plurality itself without bound, i.e., infinite multiplicity of
coequal unities.

We always assumed that our personal experience possess a validity more general than actual.

Order is only encountered in its particular manifestations, but has it ultimate origin in something
which itself has no particular order. This something must then be itself boundless and is
constituted by activity without temporality, i.e., activity in the absence of changing forms
(transformation). All forms are flux stabilities of this activity and so transformation, i.e.,
temporality without fixed time scale, is change to these flux stabilities which is really just change
in activity subject to externally imposed time scale.

A theory of everything would be a single or a list of equations, i.e., explications of the structure
of the empty set. But clearly there must be an infinite number of different possible
self-consistent structurings of 0 or the empty set (speaking most generally).

Infinity and 0 are simply distinct poles of the Void, i.e., empty set. A given 0 contains within
itself all of the determinations of a given infinity. But just as there are many infinities there are
many 0s each corresponding to a counterpart of opposite pole. And the classes of opposite pole.
And the classes of infinity do not form with one another any single hierarchy of transfinitude.

It is only through birth and death that the temporal and the eternal may link back to one another.
The potential for death is the constant link of life to its dynamic and creative ground.

Life performs during its course creative, metaphysical work as it back-reacts upon its ground
through lifes engendering of novel elements in this same ground which themselves and their new
dynamism grow incommensurate with the elements and their dynamics of the old foundational
ground (partly initially internalized by the living, experiencing thing). This incommensurability
of old and new ground and ground elements/dynamics necessarily grows with time so that the
living creature grows less synchronized with the evolving ground of its developing being (as
opposed to existence), resulting in the eventual death of this creature. It is on account of the
growth of an asynchrony between the internal processes of an entity and the processes of its
ground that this being necessarily faces ultimate dissolution.
@$
But note that this degeneration
unto death is necessary in order that the realm of being be enlarged by the processes of existence.

This being more and more loses its ability to spontaneously adapt to the shifting of the ground of
its original (and present) being, largely due to the myriad cumulative and collective effects of all
other living things upon this same physical ground. The same pseudo Lamarkian processes
which enforce a necessary limit on the lifetime of each individual living thing.

Entropy degrades a living system because the system is giving up information to the environment
faster than it can convert information into beneficial modifications of its own structure.
Continuity is important because some information has no absolute design content, external to
itself, in the sense of changes to the preexisting content rather than coding for a particular
out-crystallization of dynamic structure from the present ground state.

Messages passed, person-to-person, along a long chain, resulting in such garbling of message that
it no longer bears any resemblance to the original Degradation of digital information through
multistage amplifier circuit. No constraint upon how noise creeps into and entangles with the
original signal, i.e., no syntactic or semantic filtering/processing accompanies degradation of the
signal. So when transmitters are active, i.e., listener-speaker, signal information is replaced
gradually with an altogether new signal without degrading into random signal, i.e., noise.

Since the quantum vacuum, or zero-point field, is ultimately responsible for that special and
general relativistic effects, e.g., mass increase, length contraction, time dilation, etc., and also
determines the precise character of quantum phenomena, e.g., Psi-collapse, tunneling, resonance,
etc., we are hopefully justified in supposing that the vacuum plays a substantive role in
determining the exact timing and synchrony/synchronization of all physical processes, including
neurological processes. And since the exquisite timing of signals transmitted both within and
between neurons are vital to the brains processing of information, the vacuums dynamics must be
intimately involved in the higher level functioning of the brain. We cannot understand
information in the way data are understood, that is, as determinate and closed or isolated entities.
It only makes sense that the phenomena forever unmanifest, the virtual processes that underpin
(at every point) causally deterministic processes of the manifest order, be themselves, nonlocally
connected and essentially acausal.

The greater degree of integrity and wholeness that the temporal ego brings to its experience, the
more valuable information would be lost during the phase of uploading into the personal cosmic
mind. And so the less likely that the egos underlying integral structure shall be disassembled so
as to make other data and information readily available to this mind. Certainly the level of
resistance of the ego to the perceived horrors of the fundamentally incomprehensible process of his
being uploaded, shall only increase the magnitude of the stresses acting on and within its psyche.
Each individual has a more or less distinct built-in or instinctual (but largely subconscious )
knowledge that uploading is his ultimate fate.

All of these individual, subconscious presentiments of uploading and reprocessing manifest
themselves on the collective level as the notion of divine judgement, purgation, etc.

Can experience be plugged into an altogether novel and perhaps alien context with the result that
new meanings of more powerful significance (than is possible in, say, the context of ones Earthly

All arguments are circular, the question concerning an arguments validity is simply that of
whether or not this circle (of the arguments circularity) can be encompassed within a human mind
or not, that is, whether the argument only fails when considered from the standpoint of a
superhuman mind or not. Because the Platonic subsistence of logic and rationality is itself
ultimately a given, that is, an irrational datum, all arguments are either only conditionally valid or
arbitrary/nonsensical.

There can be no causal reason for an eternally existing universe. There can be no general
procedure for forming abstract descriptions, (unless the generality of this procedure is necessarily
inconceivable?).

A high frequency, periodic flow of quantum coherence and decoherence underlies the flow of
conscious experience.

As Descartes has cogently pointed out, there is nothing more certain, less likely to turn out to have
been mere illusion, than the fact of ones own (conscious existence). No greater certainty
concerning the fact of Gods existence may be derived from another fact than that of ones own
seemingly indubitable existence. The atheist secretly suffers from a profound sense of his or her
own ontological insecurity. The ontologically secure individual is only faced with the lesser
crisis of belief, namely, am I myself secretly God, or is it someone greater than even my higher
self?


The recursiveness of consciousness, the necessity of the mind being both a unity and an open
system, i.e., unlimited, its faculty for self-interaction with potential for complete
self-interpenetration (ability to pass through itself to perfect recursiveness), the nonsensical and
contradictory nature of information being transmitted through a substantial medium all of
this points to consciousness transcending spatiotemporality, itself merely the arena for the
manifestation of consciousness representations and willed actions.

The uniqueness of consciousness means that its operation is not lawlike. Its role as the ground
for the formation of abstract categories implies that it itself possesses no formal descriptions, such
which applies only to its various representations (mental) and products of intention (embodied
action, i.e., physical). In other words, a given consciousness cannot cease to be though it might
be forced to withdraw itself from spacetime (existence). The important question for the
individual, admittedly philosophically-minded human being to consider then is whether there is
some essential and necessary connection in force between himself, i.e., his worldly ego and the
transcendent being whose being is absolutely necessary to his temporal (and perhaps secretly
eternal ) conscious egoic existence. It is clear that ones necessary precondition for conscious
existence that embeds and enables the phenomena of his ego, i.e., this transcendent
consciousness/transcendental being would not enable the egos existence out of a mere trifling,
escapist and thrill-seeking impulse, but this Being desires to achieve (somehow) genuine growth
through the experience of projecting itself (through appropriate) acts of self-limitation. Since
this is to be a serious mission) project for this being, real and lasting consequences must be a
genuine possibility (and express goal) of said being. Consequently, this Beings act of
self-limitation is of necessity an irreversible one. If he is to return to his transcendent selfhood,
this must be accomplished by a path that does not preexist as present possibility. Return can
only be accomplished through the working out of altogether new possibilities of transformation
than existed prior to this beings descent. Metaphysical work must be performed by this being,
in other words, if the realm of the transcendent is ever to be reconquered. So here we see that
emanation of Being into Existence cannot be manifestation, pure and simple, but at once
necessitates novel and unprecedented acts of creation.

Consciousness may indeed be a category, but it is not an abstract category. Perhaps what we
term consciousness is a metaphor of one kind when applied to other persons and of still another
kind when applied to ones own case here a metaphor for something intimately connected to the
ego but utterly transcending it. The question of immortality is reducible to a question concerning
the relationship of the transcendent self to the temporal ego. Does the personal absolute, if you
will, require the preservation of its client-ego in order to best preserve the unique quality of the
knowledge gained through this instrument, which, as already alluded to, cannot be a purely passive
instrument of the personal absolute, which itself must risk real involvement/enmeshment with a
spatiotemporal realm.

One is uncertain about what relationship one should maintain with regard to the narcissistic id.
Freud was mistaken in some sense about the limitations of the id with regard to the operation of the
reality principle.

If an individuals brain is networked to a large preexisting network of other brains, and this is done
too quickly (nonadiabatically), then the thread of continuity of the identity of the person patched
into the network is lost. What basis is there for identity other than structure and continuity?
Adiabatic changes to the quantum mechanical system are those which are so subtle and slow that
the underlying ground state quantum vacuum does not realize that anything is being done to the
system.

Certainly there is nothing wrong with taking a breather on a plateau along ones climb and
cultivating a little complacency, enjoying the sense of stability of a local energy minimum. But,
of course, this system of local energy minima can itself always shift. Can the dynamics of such a
shift be adequately described by deterministic, Hamiltonian dynamics?

Unless the phenomena of mind were inputs to brain/consciousness, there would be no
coherent/rational reason for their appearance within the presentational continuum. The
phenomena of mind, whether thought or perception, etc., must be informative to appear. Can we
say the distinction of data versus information is parallel to boundary conditions versus dynamisms
to space versus time to momentum versus energy?

Entropy closed vs. open systems.

When we prove to be right in our suspicions, we rarely are aware of how right we truly are.

Manifestation is never merely a projection into a passive medium, but its ground/point of
origination is at once participating with the expression/transmission medium.

Transmission involves expression just as expression involves transmission.

Recursiveness as a necessary feature of entanglement of transmission and
manifestation/expression.

Overdetermination of meaning in the sense of multiple, simultaneous determinations all of which
(perhaps, no two of which) can be held in the mind, i.e., comprehended at once. Adaptability of
history to future, broader determinations that shall include prior determinations. So an
additional time axis accommodates changes between (rationally) mutually exclusive
determinations (degeneracy of causality). Degeneracy as the realm of the higher temporal
dimensional temporal evolution. Data concerns descriptions of change along a single time axis;
information describes changes of time axes/time variables. Is this the reason time cannot be an
observable in quantum mechanics where collapse of the wavefunction involves switching between
different temporal evolutions, i.e., switching from one Schrodinger equation to another with
respect to some incompatible observable.

Cernerse: hover; threaten this is a case of two acceptations being separate words in English and
being fused in another language (here, Spanish).

How are vampirism and necrophilia related? Sucking the life out, leaving a lifeless husk behind
versus proving that the inner life principle of the other is an illusion and that the other is, in fact, not
genuine other at all. Will to solipsism and necrophilia whats the connection?

The mind routinely utilizes a kind of dialectic in the fusing together of ideas that, heretofore
separate, were mutually incongruous. This irreversibility of ideas in interaction suggests that
ideas, when they first occur to us, are pristine and uncontaminated, free of cross contamination
with other ideas with which they otherwise run together.

Knowledge of common versus distinctive kinds of a thing/situation.

Much creativity is expended in syncretistic endeavor the exploitation of obscure covey holes
within a genre paradigm. Each genre may be interpreted as a more or less independent axis of
variation of forms of a certain sort.

Analysis: the peculiar and confused, self-referential logic of narcissistic representin.



Noncommunicable sensory/perceptual contents linking together (networking) of minds does not
change the polyvalent character of subjective experience within this composited medium. What
kind of degeneracy is this? It is a case of degeneracy with respect to all possible formal/physical
parameters another basis for saying that no formal description of mind is possible (because there
can be no formal or physical basis for distinguishing distinct minds).

The chaotic attractor notion of thought may suggest for them a formal content. This form
nature is determined by the degeneracy structure. The degeneracy structure determines the
resonance spectrum. C.D. Broad would have us believe that each of us is secretly capable of
perceiving everything happening elsewhere in the universe (from the perspective of the particular
individual in question?). These particular individuals are free to develop their consciousness
in any direction at all without this development interfering with the developments of some other
individuals consciousnesses. This is the idea of each individual mind possessing its own unique
resonance spectrum. Uniqueness does not imply determinacy in the case of consciousness.

Although graced by evolution with a body fashioned through countless generations of millions of
beings struggling against all odds to survive, most human beings would prefer to live life
expending the bare minimum of effort.

[If my consciousness and that of each intelligent person possess its own unity, then can there be
room for a still more perfect unity, that of consciousness as such? But the notion of a unity of
features of the individuals own consciousness which transcends the unity of his individual
consciousness seems nonsensical, if not contradictory.]

Unity is always an attribute that is unique to the thing possessing it. This unity, being
unique, cannot be described discursively. There can be no complete formal theory of what
constitutes unity. The notion of unity can only be understood in metaphorical terms. Any
attempt at characterizing unity generally must involve elements not necessary to its essence.
This is because unity always subsists against a background of a fundamentally nonunified reality.

That which has never originally been produced can certainly ever be reproduced. Only the
formal manifestations of the absolute possess a historicity. The Absolute possesses no history
for it has never interacted with another, other than itself. The realization of form always
simplifies in some ways and complicates in others. The simplifying abstraction of features of the
whole always invites into the mix new elements at variance with new forms thus engendered.
The medium of experience is always in small part the creation of which whose experience is
expressed through it. So there is no pure separation of experience from its medium. So
experience can never be captured in a purely formal manner. Moreover, the medium of
experience can never be truly passive.

It is the activities of which we never grow tired the pursuit of which our vigor is ever renewed that
are prompted from within our innermost being.

The implications of this observation are harmless and pedestrian enough in the case of the known
or acknowledged habits of mind and body, but potentially quite disturbing where newly revealed
or introspected, longstanding patterns are concerned.

It is not so much the adopting of new interests that signals a change in the self as does the turning
away from an activity heretofore regularly and frequently engaged in, the more so the greater this
former activitys frequency and regularity.

We do not fail to reproduce novel and unique phenomena merely because the causes that evoked
them in the first place cannot be reproduced, nor because this set of causes has changed or shifted
so that we are now faced with a search for the proverbial haystack needle to identify them through
later incarnations. But rather we have lost the thread by which change to this set of causes was
introduced (containing both manifest and "hidden" causes) through having allowed our vigilance
of and intimate involvement with such changing sustaining conditions to lapse.

Unique phenomena are only reproduced through the maintaining of a thread. This thread acts to
maintain the robustness of newly engendered forms by heading off the irrelevant deterministic
effects of the instrumental side of the dynamism, the blindly given off epiphenomena, manifesting
at lower integral levels of process. This necessary integration of dynamical process involves the
continual redefinition of what might be termed causal equivalence classes. The stability of
percepts and the fixedness and purposefulness of thought depend upon this proactive integration of
dynamic abstract forms. An instinctual, that is, a robustly overarching theory of, the causal
relatedness, as well as the historicity of, the three basic interacting levels of abstraction, causation,
and information must already be in hand for this process of the continual distillation of mind from
material process to continue going through. Information and abstraction are seen here as
basically inverse functions of one another. Information fundamentally alters the possibilities for
the abstracting of forms from the dynamical causal medium. Abstraction is the manifesting of
the medium through filters as well as the adjusting of these filters insofar as the filtering
mechanism is part of a causal process. First level filtering is then seen as base level adjusting of
filters so that there is a still lower level of filtering relating to the mere presence of boundary
conditions to the mediums causal self interaction. Information involves an alteration in the
character of the medium itself. And there is a special type of informing/information which never
involves the introduction of any novelty whatever. This informing is simply that of the
maintenance of the thread of continuity, no more, no less. There is a kind of novelty introduced
in maintaining constancy against the backdrop of continual flux when the thing thus maintained is
itself an abstraction, at least in part, from out of this flux. We are here referring, of course, to the
Self, which may be aptly characterized here as the equivalence class of all equivalence classes of a
certain type/sortal. Not changing by taking into account all inessential changes is the tenacity of
the self.

Not all limitation presupposes the most general limitation of spatiotemporality. All the while
that we have spoken of temporality we have secretly been referring to spatiotemporality.
Temporality itself, shorn of the intuition of space, is to us indistinguishable from the timeless.
The sense of audition has often been spoken of as being a faculty of pure temporal perception.
But there is a trace of spatiality where nonmeaningful or noisy auditory streams are concerned.
It is only the meaning conveyed by voice, simultaneous with its very utterance and issuing from
within the minds ear, if you will, which possesses this timelessness.

Each must find some creative endeavors, which engage these dynamisms that underlie the
daily-reenacted banal, unproductive patterns of self-talk, instinctual psychological/egoic reaction.
Formerly these impulses were engaged within a tribal clan setting and by continuously being acted
out, sufficient mental pressure was avoidable to prevent the bubbling forth of these impulses into
consciousness. Many fragmentary impulses that regularly body forth in the psyche are in search
of their former tribal hunter-gatherer social context.

Reality unified? Along only particular lines? But manifestation is what defines the avenues of
unification while at the same time necessitating a departure therefrom. Manifestation is a
departure from unity that remains in some measure connected to this origin. There is nothing to
prevent a unity from being enlarged through maintaining this unity in the face of growth.

We only recognize causes in terms of the conditions through which they act and which limit them
and moreover do not distinguish different ones as such. Distinct causes or the existence of a
plurality of causes, that is, the fact alone of the existence of distinct causes, such that their number
is greater than unity, being revealed only when one set of conditions fail to be reduced to another
necessary to it. And so the evolution of conditions is dialectical in nature by evolving the
operation of new causes during its course. But whether new causes are evoked, due to changing
conditions, from the very same source it is not meaningful to speculate upon unless one is
presuming the possibility of essentially similar acts on the part of distinct persons.

Only natural superiority has a right to be respected. The realm of the possible is the medium,
which supports the transmission of actual events as well as their transpiring in place. This
medium of possibility is not indifferent to the passage of actual, historical occurrence through its
bulk, but reacts anharmonically (aperiodically) to all but the simplest and most regular
occurrences. As we know from studying Fourier analysis, an aperiodic function can only be
approximated through a sum of sinusoidal functions, and then, over only a finite interval, c.f.,
Gibbs phenomena, and even an infinite number of sinusoids must fail to properly represent the
function over an infinite interval. But the notion of an aperiodic function over an infinite
argument interval invokes the notion of an infinity by other than construction, that is, an infinity
not founded upon a projection requiring endless repetition of a finite rule. Such a rule translated
to a law would be describable neither in terms of induction nor deduction, but points up an
altogether different kind of ratio. This type of infinity itself represents what might be termed an
infinite rule, e.g., a new kind of ratio without use of counting numbers. The possibilities of the
decision tree reconstitute themselves in reaction to the action of decisions taking place. So
perhaps there is not such thing as intention alone as purely contemplated action, but intention itself
is action. What is the meaning of the coherence of myriad unintended consequences?
@$
The
gravity of human action is Karma.

I am amazed at the capacity the arbitrary has for institutionalizing itself and shocked that this is its
most urgent ambition.

That which is truly unique is usually just imitation in search of an object. The irrational does not
possess the potential for automaticity. May we characterize evil as being inherently paradoxical,
the harmony of cacophony as being a thorough going rational irrationality? The manifestation
of the absolute within the realm of limitation is likened unto goodness itself corrupted unto
perversion. But this is not identical to what is evil. We must start from the premise that evil
was born here as a product of this world. Ignorance is a necessary ingredient but so is this
wantonness of a proactive survival instinct. But there are also the qualities of arbitrariness and
perverseness (as opposed to perversity).

When one makes a new distinction, does one point out what everyone should have already known,
but were unable to articulate to him or herself?

Energy is routed, channeled, filtered, etc. like a flowing conserved fluid possessing only a passive
momentum, i.e., not reacting back upon that which conditions its kinematics. Information
possesses an active momentum and cannot be manipulated mechanically as a passive substance.
Information possesses a dynamism through its action of informing all with which it comes into
contact, including other information (streams).

In a sense, hypotheticals are not really possible because nothing can really take place within the
world, history or within the most ordinary situation as a truly isolated event. The hypothetical
and the real are not completely distinguishable.

Metaphysical presence and canonical, classical, standard, etc.

An abreaction of the reaction formation of hopeless humanness.

Attributing ones human nature to ones individuality. This is a narcissistic halo not unlike that
worn by the love object; every nuance of inflection, mannerism, and habit is uniquely individual to
the magical person. After the denouement of the love affair, all these are seen as either
affectation or common.

What possible evidence could be ascertained for events that, if perceived, automatically cover their
tracks, erasing their memory traces within the brain?

When recollecting an old friend after many years time, must one take a positivistic perspective?

But mustnt there be an objective order already existing within which the reality-by-agreement is
to be worked out, inevitably through some historical-temporal process. No genuine dialectical
process ever worked itself out without at once working through itself. Dialectic requires that its
background continuum be caught up in the dialectic as well.

Freedom is as much connection to and interaction with nonlocally connected information as it is
independence from these.

Nonlocality and the contingency of a substantial medium or ether in the transmission of
information, would nonlocally mediated inter-actions be reversible? Can a nonlocal
medium be consistently assigned an entropy.?

The purely arbitrary just by being placed in the mix of historically mutually involved entities must
necessarily take upon itself a nonarbitrary historical significance. This is part of what makes
science fiction time travel stories so interesting.
July 2011
Stewie to Brian: Thats such a douche
time traveller thing to say I imagine an SF story in which the protagnonist encounters a time
traveller from the distant future who, upon solemnly confiding to our main character that hes
from the 30
th
Century, receives an abrupt response from our man (designed to make us ignorant
peasants just a little proud): What great significance is your solemn revelation set against the
immensity of the Universe? There is indeed a trend Ive recently noticed in time travel science
fiction to downplay the presumptuous narcissism of futuristic time travellers a trend the seeds of
which were perhaps first planted by H. G. Wells in his seminal SF work, The Time Machine,
whose protagonist 19
th
Century Philospher-Scientist taught us that progress is but an appearance
borne of fluctuation and too puny a scale of historical vision to appreciate this fact. Now
recognize that a fluctuation is merely the most natural manifestation of a system conceivable!
Everything which the system shall manifest as robust new development in the future is first
prefigured in the idle, roiling and bubbling bed of fluctuations of the system. This is much in the
same fashion as the young toddler who, babbling, vocalizes every possible phoneme which he
shall ever utter during adult life. Meaning and significance are the glue which make experiences
stand out in our memory even after most else has been forgotten for the last time. This realization
might help to make biological evolution somewhat more palatable to reason. After all, can the
very ground of being really lift itself by its own bootstraps so as to transcend itselfstill less could
it engender a daughter which would outstrip the creativity of her father! I am at this point struck
by the disturbingly nihilistic revelation that we indeed have a notion of consciousness without
actually possessing consciousness as such or in its suchness. The empiricists transported from the
age of reason to our alleged postmodernity might settle upon the notion that thought is just a
reprocessing of the data of the senses, which abstracts it from its original timeline. In other
words, thought is just recollection in a form which is disguised by an inadequate understanding of
the functioning of the mind. That the data of the senses are originally experienced in a temporal
order does not close off their participation in higher dimensional contexts than the unidirectional
one constituted by the thread of temporality. When experiencing hypnogogic states (usually
experienced just before the onset of sleep or upon awakening) one notices that myriad and highly
distinct though stylized scenes (similar to types of animation) flash before ones minds eye at a
rate of about 0.80-0.90 Hz. The scenes do not however exhibit the continuity of content and
context of actual dream scene sequences. It is as though the mind is performing a computed
tomography of its experiential store of sense data and is spontaneously recontextualizing them.

Oh, is that all it means to you? No, thats just the representational part.

Like attempting to move the limbs of some transcendental faculty, one occasionally feels a
prompting or impulse to act in a manner for which one is not in fact equipped.
@$
The question
arises, whence come such inherently fruitless stirrings?

Somehow fancy and illusion, when interwoven with action are regarded as of greater worth and
significance than illusion and fancy alone.

As we have earlier noted, evil arises from the finite person attempting to act out of his own
absolute being. An imbalance between the faculties of mercy and justice brought about in the
process of having made the self artificially ignorant of its true nature. Just as the notion of the
true self points to something transcendental relative to finite existence, the notion of community is
equally transcendental relative to the unlimited state of being of the personal absolute. The
imperfect knowledge possessed by the finite self concerning its transcendent counterpart
combined with the imperfect knowledge possessed by the transcendental self of otherness and the
Other contribute to the emergence of evil in the realm of finite being. The knowledge of the one
is partially given up in order to gain knowledge of the other in an attempt to realize a greatest good.
Mankind has always experienced many inner promptings to exert faculties in a measure of which
he is not actually capable, much like the attempt of an amputee to stir into action a phantom limb.
Philosophical endeavor, particularly metaphysics, represents this attempt to grapple with questions
too deep and broad for a mere humanly limited understanding. Sometimes individuals faced
with certain death or destruction in the face of obviously superior force will suddenly develop an
extremely sharp conviction of their natural invincibility such as one might experience in the face
of a grave threat encountered in dreams in which one suddenly realizes ones true identity as a
waking self merely asleep in a superior reality. The wrath borne of frustration and vexation of
ones shadow transcendent self forced to deal with countervailing wills and obstacles unknown to
it in its unlimited state of being may manifest as what might be seen as evil behavior. One
forgets that the limitations with which one meets with daily are but inevitable symptoms of ones
chosen limited form shaped by the complex realm of limitation.

The types of uncertainty and/or factors contributing to it: vagueness, interference effects due to
exchanges of energy, interference effects due to exchanges of information, uncertainty due to
sheer complexity, that due to active deception/disinformation, experimenter effect, i.e., the
effect of experimenter subconscious biases, expectations, and projections, uncertainty introduced
through transmutation through changing media, translation losses/gains (linguistic), viral
contamination by foreign memes, breaking through of combined subthreshhold effects,
incompleteness, ambiguity, blindness/denial of observer/experimenter, channeling, focusing,
filtering effects, sociology of knowledge, paradigm dominance, etc.

Ones theories, models, and paradigms that inform the interpretation of data must be under
investigation along side the phenomena being investigated by way of these.

By bonding with people of the type that in the past hurtfully rejected us, we might find, finally, the
key to those rejecting hearts. The confused (and usually repressed, as well) desire is to
symbolically (or perhaps, in reality) return to the rejecting person armed with the newly acquired
secret weapon for knocking down (penetrating) the battlements of their erstwhile icy hearts.

Her is to the key to the polyemanationist doctrine: there is unity in diversity but which relative to
intersubjective agreement (EST) <reality is agreement>

Selfishness and pride are barriers to the opening up and enrichment of the self by experience.
Experience is never interpreted in search of meanings larger than those concerning the self and its
immediate needs/wants.

When asked to imagine any situation or entertain any new idea, if one finds that once set upon such
a path of fancy or speculation that powers of intuition and insight commence to spring into action,
seemingly of their own accord, then clearly unconscious contents are in process of being liberated,
latent connection of parts of the self are finding a new actualization, resulting in a perceptibly if not
slightly heady and vertiginous larger integration of the selfs resources, now already underway.
Then we say that the ideas and images offered to us for consideration have a transformative power
they seem to lead us vertically upwards or downwards, as the case might be, but at any rate,
take us away from the sterile surface of the banal in which our identity is normally fixed, compete
with all of the requisite attendant boredom, frustration, and restlessness that is the lot of mundane
men and women. Fortunately or unfortunately, few of these ever reach a stage in life of being
able to articulate the true source of dissatisfaction with lifes perceived possibilities.

From a recent Facebook message: That is both a short and a long conversation, Sam! New
disorder discovered: PLSD: "Post Langweilig Stress Disorder". *"Langweilig" means "boring" in
German. I'd like to offer myself up as a kind of "patient zero" in a ground breaking study of the
disorder! : )

The pluralist world of Platos ideas is not timeless but these ideas are living beings. But how to
reconcile notions of absolute, infinity, unlimited, etc. with temporality?

Dissociation may just be the retreating from our normal personas and taking up refuge in the self
that transcends and employs them much as a puppet master might. But dissociation is a necessity
of social existence in which the individual is expected to completely perform in role, according to
the cognitive styles/modes most appropriate to social spheres of which his life is comprised. But
dissociation is a two-way implication: that of the persona decoupling, e.g., fugue state, religious
conversion, etc., from the true self, and that of the true self decoupling from the persona.

Due to the operation of culture in standardizing and institutionalizing patterns of social interaction
and behavior, it is not necessary that behavior be genetically determined in all individuals within a
given breeding population, e.g., clan or tribe. It is only necessary that a large enough percentage
of this population be composed of socially dominant/influential individuals (possessing the ability
to substantively influence the cultural and social evolution of the population) for the survival value
to the population of the new set of behaviors to be fully exploited. The more influence such
dominant individuals wield within the relatively closed society of the breeding population, and the
more effectively the culture purveys the spread of new, evolutionary-advantageous behaviors, the
smaller the fraction of individuals within this population need actually possess the genetic markers
for the evolutionary-advantageous social behavior. So we should expect that some small
percentage of a breeding population exhibit patterns of behavior as an expression of their
(genetically-based) being while the majority of this population exhibit these patterns through
mimesis informed by cultural influences. Here we arrive at the notion that socially dominant
individuals act out of the inner promptings of their being while the 95% of a given social group
are acting out a second nature determined by the cultural patterns of behavior dominant in their
social group.

We would like our generalizations to be viewed as informed by a broad and varied base of
experience. We would like to give specific examples to be viewed as acts of imagination.

Experience is constructed so as to accommodate future developments. As the density of
quantum vacuum states decreases with cosmic expansion, a blackhole must give up enough
quantum states (per unit time), all of which are distributed along and across the holes event
horizon.

Because of the greater relative abstractness of terms original to older languages, e.g., Sanskrit,
Greek, Latin, etc., it appears likely that language evolved out of a progressive expression of high
level, internal information processing taking place within our automata-like forbears of the genus
Homo, who did not possess an individual-style consciousness. At some point, the nonlocal
quantum brain processes become mutually disconnected within the collective and reconnected to
distinct, individual (transcendent) absolute minds.

Dynamic: opening up, breaking out or into a heretofore-deterministic data structure. The
Supreme Being is the transcendent Being possessed by all transcendental absolute identities
(persons) in common. But this commonality of transcendent consciousness is only valid
analogically speaking. You might think of this form of transcendence as transfinite
transcendence.

Is it necessarily the case that equivocation of sense (of the same term as it appears in both the
minor and major premise) necessarily render a syllogism invalid, or are there certain special
circumstances, that is, restrictions upon the precise manner of the equivocation, which permits the
conclusion to go through? And if indeterminate or polyphonous meanings are admitted into
the discourse of argumentation, does the law of excluded middle still hold?

The truly sacred and holy cannot be desecrated, only our idea of it. It is the distinctions and
system of differences that is created not that in which these inhere.

What is called an open unity is a unity of common transcendent origin of manifestation. It is not
a unity in an abstract or formal sense, that is, of description. Therefore, this unitys
manifestations do not uniquely attest to it as being their author. Any candidate formal
description of the process by which manifestation occurs would have to be both broader and
deeper than that pertaining to the production of abstract descriptions, e.g., in terms of classes and
categories. Does what is called intention transcend the duality of accident versus
causal-deterministic?

The analogous relatedness of the plurality of individual subjectivities, i.e., consciousnesses,
implies a copresence to an impersonal transcendental consciousness.

Consciousness is the ocean in which living ideas swim.

Bobos in Paradise, David Brooks (Simon & Schuster)

The Exurbanites, A.C. Spectorsky

The knowledge of the nature of consciousness is not intersubjective, which is to say, discursive.
The individual seems to possess this Cartesian certainty of his own state of individual
consciousness and yet, there is nothing within his consciousness to which a possible verbal
description might be attached which explains the nature of this most general feature of his
momentary experience. With the individuals own consciousness apart from any forms that
might inhabit it, the general and the particular are one. That is, paradoxically, the individuals
state of consciousness is at once of greatest generality and greatest particularity. It is a general
category that possesses unlimited potential for instantiation (over time), but at any given moment
is utterly singular. If the possibilities for consciousness are not prefigured, then as consciousness
evolves, it grows more singular and grows in its generality.

The ground of the individual consciousness would in this case have to be partially constituted by
what is occurring to other consciousnesses. The substance of consciousness is the infusion of its
past states, which are non-repeatable, as well as its possible future states, which are different by the
time that they become actually exhibited within it. Indeterminacy leaves room for the operation
of alterity, that is, that which is at the present stage in commensurable with respect to
consciousness.

Ones experience should be rich enough that one can wait for an apt cue to subtly segue into the
topic of conversation of ones choosing.

When one acts out of a sense of ones absolute being, one considers oneself the end subserved by
others considered as means.

We do not need to fetishize the customs, folkways, and social structures, or even the physical
theories of the past. There are an unlimited number of equally valid ways of thinking,
perceiving, and being.

I have taken no small amount of solace in the thought that I am and will probably forever remain,
the single greatest blunder of judgement that you commit during your short sojourn on this planet.

After the age of 40, youre not likely, say, to discover some neat, new way of cracking your

Pragmatism and Pluralism are distinguished from Idealist/Monist philosophy most easily in terms
of how these doctrines treat the notion of progress.

Pragmatism: not better just different; Idealism: not just different, but better

Correspondence versus the coherence theory of truth is aligned with the distinction between
idealism versus pragmatism.

Upside down vision-inducing goggles experiments of the 1950s. What my hand feels like is

And Justice for Some

Center as well as periphery, figure as well as ground, rational as well as irrational, pragmatic and
theoretical, and so on, form a dual set of categories. Coherence and self-consistency that belong
to a category of the dual pair also belong to the other. There is no reason why one dual
distinction cannot cut across another while retaining its coherence as a dual set of categories, as
well as the other duality retaining its coherence.

Regardless, of ones perception of the magnitude of ones progress, one must not imagine having
drawn any nearer to a full understanding of existence.

There is a subtle rollover effect that occurs during conversation in a second language with a native
to the culture of this language. One begins by intending to say one thing but must actually
articulate something somewhat different occasionally what one actually musters to articulate is
only loosely related to what one believes one originally intended to say. This phenomenon is
imperceptibly replaced by a perhaps unreferenceable change (in the mind of the speaker here, that
is) in the kinds of things that the 2

language speaker intends to say. It is during this transition
that one ceases to have to constantly translate what a native speaker says into ones mother tongue
before composing a response.

I note here that I never have needed to translate what I wanted to say from some initial composition

Fractal vowel sounds of the French language versus pure vowel sounds of Latin, Greek, Hebrew,
Sanskrit, etc., i.e., tongues descended from the Protoindoeuropean. This observation also
applies to the tonal languages, i.e., languages in which distinct meanings are conveyed through
very subtle variations in vowel sound tonality, e.g. the oriental languages. Another relevant
difference between oriental and occidental languages is the one in terms of the first possessing an
ideographic written language, the other, a phonetic. Does the monotonality versus the
polytonality of Indo-European versus oriental languages have any relevance to the distinctly
different notions that the corresponding cultures/societies hold concerning transcendence?

A formulation borne of mere poetic sentiment must always be able to be reified when applied in all

Would we deny to Nature herself the very limited creativity that we possess and to whom we

issued forth from simpler life in a dialectical process in which order appeared in newly unified
plural reality rather than the mere illumination of what already had its complete being but

But we know that at some point reversibility is lost and this must take
place when the structure can no longer be produced from out of the vacuum in a single go, but
must be cobbled together from a number of such vacuum-engendered particles which are to exist
in some kind of bound structure maintained through exchanges of momentum between all of those
particles (which emerged from the vacuum in a single step). This might well be due to there being
no definable anti-entity with which the entity can annihilate so as to return the pair to the
quantum vacuum from which they had originated.

The above considerations suggest that trial

Such an act would not represent a creative act par excellence, which seems to require that

It is
interesting to note how the Like button works on Facebook and how Like can be quantified in
terms of a stroke as in stroke to ones ego and submitted to a description in terms of a
calculus of strokes in which almost no individual Facebook members realize that this calculus is
pervasively in operation. We can then apply the insights from this understanding of the Like
button and how it functions to broader life contexts. Note that the distribution of instances of the
Like button being clicked on various peoples Facebook pages could be performed in bulk and
more or less indiscriminately or perhaps just in accordance with the very simplest of algorithms
(say people press the "Like" button on other FB members' pages more or less just in the
expectation that these "friends" will press the "Like" buttons on their FB page later at some point.
And so to each person, who does not perceive the horizontal distribution of Likes (i.e., along the
friend axis of the person hitting their "Like" button - and not along *their* friend axis - so that
they remain unaware of the bulk "Like" button clicking), it appears that he or she is receiving
individualized strokes from friends. This observation is perhaps the more valid, the more
friends one has on ones Facebook page, who are not people with whom one is personally
acquainted and who one does not have regular personal contact. @$But this distinction is
perhaps ultimately illusory, since personal contacts and communications conform fairly closely to
the Facebook friend-network communications template, alluded to above.

involved in the deconstruction of the metaphysics of presence.

Nonlocal, supraliminal connections permeating the universe and the historicity of natures further
determination of its lawlike behavior during the course of the dialectic of Mans rationality and
Natures mutual grappling.

The explanation of the appearances cannot, fundamentally, be grounded or explained in terms of
still another set of appearances, i.e., world manifesting an altogether different set of
anomalous-mysterious-strange appearances. The alternative system of appearances is invoked
only to replace one mystery by another of equal, if not greater (because not derived from an as
familiar space of appearances). This is the banal inconsistency underlying the appeal to other
dimensions to explain anomalies cropping up within this system of appearance/ manifestation,
c.f., the problem of aetiology.

Because of nonlocal correlations and physical superluminality and their likely role in the
underpinning of the order of the consciousness of the individual, there is no way to crucially
decide between a unified and objective, deterministic universe from a radically overdetermined
cosmos whose determinate structure resolves itself over the course of a historical evolution of
progressive crystallization in reaction to the always deeper and more invasive probings of the
scientific rationality. And since this historicity of physical law in which Man is so deeply
involved must impact upon the dynamics of the physical medium of his own mental process, this
historicity is of necessity dialectical in nature.

The nature of theory determines the kinds of detection and measurement devices constructed with
which to perceive new physical phenomena. Theory determines the manner in which Science
interrogates nature and so partially, at least, determines the manner in which nature manifests itself
to the experimenter. Anomalies and ambiguities and novel phenomena, not prefigured in
theoretical prediction, are given off initially with the performance of first experiments of the new
paradigm. Much thought is expended in resolving these equivocal experimental results until a
consistency is achieved. The scientific community is unwittingly colluding with a radically,
perhaps infinitely, overdetermined natural order. And a kind of historical ratchet effect in the
progressive determination of nature, based in the dialectical mutual grapplings of Mans mind with
incompletely crystallized nature. This is similar to the manner in which the solipsistic delusional
person imagines the details are constructed in a conversation that he overhears: the more mental
effort he exerts in attempting to divine the details of what is being discussed between the two
other persons, the more richly detailed becomes the overheard conversation. The two theories of
the phenomenon of the witnessed conversation, the first that of sense perception of publicly
observable phenomena, the second that of creative imagination powered by internally generated
psychic energy, may turn out to be equally good explanations for what the solipsist, deluded or
not, observes appearing to occur in his surrounding environment.
July 2011
What can we say about
the tentatively proffered principle that objectively, both interpretations are equally valid and good
and that it is only in a political sense that one or the other is the superior metaphysics? The
physicist and philosopher David Deutsch has pointed out that there is no valid distinction between
the theory that the subconscious of the solipsist is responsible for the observed phenomena of the
external world and the realist theory of an objective external world populated by myriad other
minds, governed by general physical laws and independent of the function of the psychic processes
of the individuals mind.
September 2012
If the ground of the quantum observers mind is understood
as the multidimensional temporal integrative processes of the whole, and this whole is also
understood to be necessarily open-ended, which is the non-spatiality condition (on temporality),
then metaphysical solipsism is effectively disproved. Perhaps the cosmos is a collaborative effort
and the salient features of this cosmos are just those features owing principally to our puny efforts
in the collaboration, where our is taken to refer to mankind. Higher level collaborative artisans
are only contacted and recognized by those of a lower level after a sufficient progression of science
and the working out of its social implications.

However, the quantum mechanical phenomena of nonlocality, superposition, decoherence,
complementarity, Heisenberg uncertainty, tunneling, virtual particle/ field reactions,
creation/annihilation processes, as well as the infinite energy density of the quantum vacuum all
seem each in their own way to compromise this boundary, heretofore secure and clearly delineated
within classical physics between the subjective and the objective (intersubjective). It is perhaps
because the cash value of the objective is the intersubjective and on account of this alleged
boundary between the mental and the physical within the mind/brain of each individual being
indeterminate that the equivalence alluded to by Deutsch may fail. The lesson of the quantum
vacuum is that Parmenides was right when he asserted that, nothing does not exist. Might the
notion of oblivion similarly prove to be an illusory abstraction? Consciousness may be
conceived as a connecting thread or string, which, though it cannot break, it can become
impossibly tangled. The dynamics of what the string connects to as well as how, where and when
it connects to determines the nature of the psychic structures produced and/or represented by the
string. The string must be supposed to possess its own eternally preexistent dynamics, that is, its
own nature qua substance. If there continues for many decades to exist an educated and affluent
technologically savvy class within the advanced industrialized world, a new cultural development
I anticipate within the next 50 years is what will be styled the new atheism. By this I mean
metaphysical solipsism. The philosophy, ethics and etiquette that develops around the eventual
wider and growing acceptance of the solipsistic subculture shall help it to one day become
mainstream. In this way, Western culture will catch up to where the Hindus have been
psychologically for many centuries.

The Undivided Universe, We recall from
chapter 2 that in a positivist philosophy, epistemology and ontology are thus equated. But as we
also stressed before, there is no real necessity to do this. Indeed in our ontological interpretation of
the quantum theory, we must say that although the particles are indistinguishable, they are still
different, and that each one exists continuously and therefore has its own identity. Leading up to
this will be a growing proliferation of notions such as lucid dreaming, anthropic cosmological
principle, technological singularity, Boltzmann brains, ancestor simulations, quantum
consciousness, inflationary theory. What appears common to all of the above seeimingly
fanciful conceptions is what Derrida terms always alreadiness.

This phenomenon I will term supermodularity. The concept of autocorruption is important in
this connection and may indeed be related to Penroses concept of decoherence as
autodecoherence.
September 2012
The spontaneous decoherence experienced by an advanced
quantum computer in the act of calculating a chess move n moves ahead (where n is some
suffiently large, i.e., critical number) perhaps illustrates how the Planck mass or Penroses one
graviton limit represents not only an upper energy threshold for quantum superposed states, but
also an absolute limit of information density and computational complexity vis a vis the
underlying and supporting quantum vacuum qua information reservoir (after the fasion of the
infinite heat bath from discussions of the 2
nd
Law of Thermodynamics) and in which the quantum
computer embedded. Investigate the concept of nonlocal quantum entanglement of a quantum
computers ground state with the global of cosmic quantum vacuum state, i.e., universal ground
state. The autodecoherence threshold represented by the Planck limit may signify that there is no
universal quantum ground state, i.e., global or cosmic quantum vacuum field, but that the so-called
quantum vacuum can only be properly understood as a quantum entangled albeit essentially
modular quantum field. Parallel quantum universes may then reduce to nothing more than the
false projections of myriad quantum vacuum field modules, each separated by an integral multiple
of one Planck energy.

Atoms, molecules, macromolecules, etc., cannot be manifest by the vacuum as one of its possible
fundamental energy fluctuations. And yet such structures can form from their constituents, each
of which is a fundamental fluctuation.
@$
So the vacuum serves as a peculiar kind of ground for
matter structures in that this vacuum appears to be able to sustain that which it cannot create.
This situation defies Leibniz hallowed principle, to wit, that what is sufficient to create a thing is
necessary at every succeeding instant to sustain the thing. But the converse is here implied: what
sustains a given created order nonetheless lacks the power to alone create this order. Two
observations are perhaps relevant in this connection.
July 2011
Also what is not sufficient to create
a thing may indeed be necessary to sustain it. Irreducible complexity is when the sufficient
reason for a thing transcends the sum of the necessary conditions for that things sustainment in
existence.
October 2011
The root understanding of irreducible complexity as a general phenomenon
is to be sought at the boundary between the unity and compositeness of the ground of existence,
i.e., at the Planck energy level where particles cease to be able to be produced in one go as single
fluctuations of the quantum vacuum due to the spontaneous formation of virtual black holes (and
thermalization of would be structure via Hawking radiation) (in this connection also see various
remarks about a chronology protection mechanism)
July 2011
If fundamental reality is in the
form of information rather than independently existing fundamental particles, then there is no real
paradox involved in sufficient reasons transcending any finite sum of necessary reasons.
Individual consciousness vis a vis brain evolution and development is perhaps a prime example of
this amended principle. Sufficient conditions await contingent conditions, no finite sum of which
can ever replace the fertile dynamical, holistic context of preexistent fields of information that
inevitably enable the causal efficacy of those contingent conditions in engendering a conscious
mind.

If we are to continue to hold to the Leibnizian principle, we must state that the matter, by
transcending in complexity that of the structures which can appear out of the vacuum as one of its
fundamental fluctuations, must be itself participating with ground in the act of its own
sustainment. This sustainment of matter by ground, or whatever in combination with
fundamental ground, acts as such, constitutes the temporality of this matter structure. So a
portion of the temporality of matter is consumed with sustainment of this matters complexity over
and beyond that which can be directly sustained by the action of fundamental ground which
constitutes cosmic, nonlocal time. Therefore matter must not only be updated by vacuum as it
continually reforms out of this vacuum energy, but the vacuum itself must be updated by the
matter that it sustains. So any matter of greater complexity than the most complex vacuum
fluctuations, must back react upon vacuum. So the vacuum cannot compute its next state
without first consulting the complex structures embedded in it. Although the vacuum does not
need to consult the structures that it is capable of spontaneously engendering in order to computer
their succeeding states. Matter thus acts as a boundary condition upon the vacuum, causing it to
allocate some of its computational time, or clock cycles (Planck times) toward the calculation of
measures of complexity beyond what it can directly compute. The vacuum requires information
from matter structures to aid it in its recomputation of these structures over succeeding clock
pulses.

This is why we may say that the vacuum cannot create information, but can create the conditions
on which information can come into being. So the vacuum contains no information but is itself
infinitely informable, or the potential information content of the vacuum is near infinite. So
information consists in the interaction of matter and vacuum at their interfaces. This may help to
account for why the entropy of a black hole is directly proportional to the black holes surface area.
The surface area of the black hole, i.e., its event horizon, precisely defines the interface between
matter and vacuum. Within the holes interior there is literally no vacuum energy available to be
exchanged between matter and vacuum in this region. All interaction of the matter within a
black hole with the quantum vacuum must take place precisely at that surface defined by the holes
even horizon.

Natural selection determines the frequency of genes, but not the genes themselves. Does the

Using metaphors to make the simple and ordinary, extraordinary and mysterious. This activity

Nature is indeed overdetermined, but exhibits a tendency to collude with the human theorists

relationships are determined by a single, self-consistent mathematical representations. She does
this by hiding from the view of organized science glimpses of any of the infinite number of other

The generation of new ideas always involves the transformation of old knowledge and established
concepts as they are gradually or suddenly illuminated anew. So one does not add a new bit of
information to the database without triggering a shift in the dynamic equilibrium in the integration
of this body of knowledge.

So the new bit of information doesnt fit and the database reintegrates to accommodate something
intimately connected to, but not identical with the original irritant bit.

So the original input is never incorporated into either the old or the new knowledge base. So
what did one think one glimpsed that triggered this transformation of thought/knowledge? So
never information itself, but something pointing to (in the sense, perhaps of a web browser) is
actually stored within our gray matter.

Metaphor like concept is descriptive, but not merely descriptive. Metaphor informs and directs
the processes of which it is also a description. It may turn out that physical laws are not purely or
merely descriptive.

When we borrow concepts from one domain (of endeavor, say) to metaphorically understand
another concept, we are suspending questioning, or bracketing out the questioning of, those
concepts while they are functioning in their role of metaphorically structuring some other concept.
And it is not necessarily the case that we understand the concepts we are invoking as metaphors
any better than we do the concept subject to structuring/explication in terms of these metaphors.

There seems to be an assumption here that concepts somehow establish themselves, achieve
closure in certain important ways and then go on to serve duty as structuring or descriptive

We avoid people who tend to disconfirm our theories about how life works. Institutions or
structure which threaten our worldview are viewed as manifestations of the irrational and we
carefully wend our way around and past them. In order to glimpse the rationality of that which
originally strikes us as irrational or nonrational requires that we perform at least a partial
deconstruction and the reconstruction upon the foundations of our own philosophies, beliefs and
preferences. We act in such a manner that we only encounter the world which is consistent with
the worldview we espouse. Because the world itself, or, the world as it is, is so radically rich and
overdetermined, beyond any possible rationalistic unification, only relatively small subdomains of
the world may be worked into more or less coherent unities. It is within such subdomains that
the worldview of the proud, illusion-filled individual finds its peaceful coexistence.

The mechanism by which the effective speed of light is dramatically reduced in the laboratory
through use of a supercooled gas of Rubidium atoms may be essentially similar to the manner in
which the speed of light is reduced within a vacuum of reduced virtual Cooper pairs of
electron/positrons. It is interesting that the velocity of light is the product of k, wavenumber and
f, frequency, which are intimately tied to the momentum and energy of the photons, respectively.

It is frequently stated that spontaneous emission of excited atoms is triggered by vacuum
fluctuations. The question arises as to whether these fluctuations are in the form of real,
3-momentum fluctuations or imaginary 4-momentum, i.e., energy fluctuations. We know that
the density of real photons within the volume occupied by excited atoms is directly proportional to
the rate of stimulated emission of real photons from the excited atoms. We could invoke the
so-called Bose Inclusion Principle (BIP) to account for the increased probability of real photon
production (through spontaneous emission, stimulated by virtual photons).

Instead of always speaking in terms of decreased vacuum imaginary momentum fluctuations
(energy fluctuations) and enhanced vacuum 3-momentum fluctuations (real momentum
fluctuations), we could, instead, think of the vacuum momentum-energy field as a ghost matter
field. In this way, the presence of matter in a given region of space would decrease the density of
the ghost matter field by the precise same amount by which it increased the density of the matter
field. Since photons propagate through the ghost matter field and the matter field changes state
through the mutual interaction of the matter and ghost matter fields, we should expect the velocity
of light to be lower in regions of space possessing a reduced ghost matter field density. For
example, although a Rubidium atom is excited when it absorbs a photon of appropriate frequency,
this atom will only decay when stimulated to do so upon absorption of a virtual photon. A
question here is whether virtual photons owe their existence, in turn, to the vacuum having made
some kind of downward transition in its energy which, perhaps, can be explained in terms of the
action of virtual virtual particles!

But k and f are in reality the expectation values of the wavenumber and frequency, and these
values are dependent upon the Heisenberg uncertainties and vacuum fluctuation intensities of
these respective quantities.

Metaphors dont prove the conclusions of arguments but help to demonstrate that a pattern in a
current situation is more pervasive and therefore probably not entirely coincidental even though
no causal connections, i.e., links in the chain of causal influences have yet to be unearthed. Here
is the idea of a pattern operating by its own dynamism, independently of the dynamic of the
medium of its present context. We say, then, that this pattern informs its medium and helps to
determine a context for its context. This pattern is not merely expressed through the medium, but
modifies this medium by operating through it.

Real fermions are boundary conditions upon the corresponding boson fields. But fermions
themselves exist as quantum fields. What serves as the boundary conditions for these fermion
fields? What is unique cannot be reproduced and therefore cannot be recorded. Records as
physically inscribed in some material system, are not themselves memories but evokers of
memories. There are changes in these memory records that will not affect how a memory is
evoked and some which will do this. There is, in other words, a two-way acting degeneracy in
how the brain records experiences and how these records evoke recollection of their original
experiences of which they are recollections.

The ground state is indicated as the lowest energy level in the diagram. Keeping in mind the

Transitions of fermions correspond to the presence/creation of bosons. Relate transitions to

Placement of a fermion at the Nth energy level causes the decay of a virtual fermion located at this
energy level, but, a la Feynmann path integral formulation, decay by every possible permutation
and combination. Each of the decayed energy modes corresponds to the presence of those

of these modes continual?

Each DNA is the product of the union of two single helix molecules, each single helix molecule
taken from one of two double helix molecules composed of conjoined, complementary single helix
molecules.

The wonder of the intimately known is no lesser than that of the mysterious unknown. Wonder
is not a function of knowledge, but of something transcending knowledge. Examples of which
are the wonder the elderly person experiences when recollecting her childhood and the wonder
experienced by a person in childhood.

Neurolinguistic programming and the subtleties of natural selection. The natural selection
mechanism must be infinitely subtler than any description that makes narrative sense to inhabitants
of everydayness. This is on account of the infinitesimal ratio of historically occurring genetic
combinations to that number of base pair combinations that are chemically and
thermodynamically possible.

Is not the feverish thought of philosophers so like similar attempts of a baby chick to peck its way
out of its egg shell? Both endeavors are equally borne of instinct and equally directed toward a
very real goal.

We are led to the conclusion that the selective advantage of gene sequences is an illusion, along,
perhaps, with all those sociobiological and anthropological evolutionary narratives of natural
selection scenarios, now seen for the sophistical and disingenuous just so stories that they are.

We have all along naively assumed that the environment is not quantum correlated to the DNA of
the individuals in the competition for reproduction and survival. If the DNA were itself
composed of information, then could we say that its code is arbitrary, or just. . .

The subjectivity or intersubjectivity of perception does not have any relevance to the ontological
question concerning the reality or illusoriness of these perceptions.

Like Union Pacific trains with cars one can see through if not empty, but which when empty are

A conscious computer would not be able to explore its state space without perturbing this state
space in a non-negligible way, unless the state space is just a projection.

Without the arbitrariness of meanings thought would be deterministic or, the symbolic realm
would be a superfluous space within which thinking could perform non substantive work.

The fact that there is no consciousness as such creates for a us a deep paradox. It seems to follow
from this both 1) the only difference between two individual consciousnesses is a lack of
numerical identity, and 2) everything about individual consciousness is different, except that they
both are, analogically speaking, exemplars, but not instantiations of, consciousness (mine and/or
his.)

Ground state is the basis of the continuity of change of all that which is its manifestation.
(Although there can be no pure manifestation of ground.) And the possibilities of a quantum
system in a pure state embody the ground for change (continuous, deterministic) for that system,
and so any change in the possibility space must be discontinuous.

Form acquires substance. Symbols possess a capacity for recollecting their earlier contexts.
The medium and implements of symbols and the contexts or spaces occupied and traversed by
these implements in their various media, by-produce contextual connections in the symbols they
serve and support. This partially accounts for the arbitrariness of the particular complexion of
meanings that each symbol has through historical possesses of acquisition of contexts.

Why does a sudden break in audio input create the sensation of this break originating within one's
own nervous system? This impression may be caused by an inadvertent back dating of memory,
placing an act of volition immediately prior in time in memory to the perceived break.

Consciousness is something one participates in: it is not something that one can represent.

Symbolic elements of a genetic nature do not require any over-arching, guiding intention of

Information is data in context, but data are the expression of information.

Hunger of the Soul, by Deepak Chopra

Supersymmetry appears to be necessary to consistently describe a quantized vacuum state in
which the spacetime can be arbitrarily partitioned into a 3+1 Euclidean spacetime.

The absence of local observer based time does not follow from the nonexistence of a global or
cosmological, i.e., absolute time. If global time is viewed as a particular class of inter relationship
amongst local times, then global time would not determine loca time.

Can we always choose a noninertial or inertial frame so that the density matrix is diagonalized so
that we have a description of the system in terms of a pure state? If so, then the system as a
whole cannot be nonlocally connected to another system.

A system may be described by a Psi function, but contain no subsets described by their own, local
Psi(I).

Discreteness of spacetime 3+1 partitioning, each with its own local time vacuum with cutoff
frequency, omega, cutoff. Perfect supersymmetry in each local vacuum is broken (and not
required). Each local vacuum possesses a small enough quantum vacuum energy density if
partial supersymmetry to solve the cosmological constant problem locally for each local spacetime
(vacuum).

The time evolution of pure state, i.e., an eigenstate of the Hamiltonian, does not imply the temporal
evolution f possibility - possibility can only change discontinuously, through Psi collapse.

There can be no deterministic evolution of the possibility space.

What anchors the I think is the I think, I think, I think, I think, ad infinitum. It is a strange kind of
Jacob's ladder style frequency of interaction underlying a connectivity which starts and ends in
pure vacuum but passes through an unlimited number of the mutual grappling of two vacua. the
interface for which may be the human brain.

The human being is dual (of something) not a unity and therefore nothing in its own right, i.e., has
no "essence." It was the way the bilateral symmetry of our bodies hints at this underlying lack of
unity.

Can the normal dimensions of space and time be composed of carefully pieced together fractal
space times? And can the "oscillation" of mind along its "recursion axis" be described
consistently fractals (or, perhaps, hyperdimensional, fractals)? An abstract spatial continuum is
the product (epiphenomenon) of the interconnection of an infinite number of fibers and fiber
bundles. The actual spatial continuum is the product of the interacting of an infinite number of
distinct (essentially distinct) time, continua.

The many worlds that interfere with one another to produce the actual world in which
observations are performed are not "worlds" with qualitatively distinct spatial and temporal
foliations which is to say tha the time axis within each of the many worlds of Everett's
interpretation of the quantum measurement problem does not correspond to an irreversible
timeline. Moreover, the entropy of each of these worlds, fi it can even be defined, would be a
constant (definable as zero?). Perhaps entropy can only be a function of subensembles of
Everetts "worlds."

Failures of recollection, action of imagination, placing under erasure, tautologies, contradictions,

/\Pi x c = /\E is associated with spacelike momentum fluctuations within the crystal lattice.

Changes in the circulation and flow of energy within the crystal requires power input into and
power transfer through the crystalline matrix.

A closed, dynamic system cannot be self sustaining in its dynamics as its elements must be
continually regenerated from vacuum fluctuation energy.



The energy density of the vacuum induced in the presence of mass has, like electromagnetic
radiation, an equation of state wherein the energy density is three times the pressure of the
radiation. It is this inertial induced vacuum energy that gives photons within this region an
effective mass a kind of electromagnetic photon mass.

Interestingly, the photon is connected with coupled pairs of electrons and positrons. This
coupling is effected through an appropriately correlated positron pair, where each positron derives
from two contiguous, virtual e-e+ pairs. A similar statement applies, where each electron also
derives from contiguous, virtual e-e+ pairs. The space and time components of these virtual
pairs are /\xi and /\t, respectively. The density of virtual e-e+ pairs in time is decreased within a
gravitational field and reduced /\E combined with increased /\t for these virtual e-e+ pairs implies a
lower virtual power input into spacetime. While increased /\Pi x c over an increased /\t would
imply a scaled down local value of c and so a similarly reduced spacelike virtual power transfer
capability. In this way the ability of energy in matter and vacuum to redistribute itself in
response to applied forces is similarly reduced, i.e., increased inertia.

If my consciousness and that of each intelligent person possesses its own unity, then can there be
room for a still more perfect unity, that of consciousness as such? But the notion of a unity of
features of the individuals own consciousness which transcends the unity of his individual
consciousness seems nonsensical, if not contradictory.

In nonrelativistic physics, any linear momentum can be transformed away via an appropriate
Galilean transformation. This is not the case with angular momentum because this is motion not
taking place within an inertial reference frame. In relativity, the 3-momentum can only be
transformed away while preserving total 4-momentum. Use superposition to express /\Lz in
four dimensional spacetime. There is a necessity of QM within relativistic physics.

Gauge invariance is recaptured through the introduction of a new interaction in the form of an
exchange particle (boson). Hypothesis: global gauge invariance is lost when a given symmetry
is broken. Search: spin 0 particles.

When a symmetry is broken, a good quantum number is lost. How is the least action principle
restored? Are the lost quantum numbers recaptured through the appearance of a new gauge
boson which is exchanged between the fermions with reduced quantum number set?

With the loss of a quantum number as a result of symmetry breaking (phase transition and loss of
some finer structure within the vacuum lattice structure) certain permutations of state transitions,
which may be virtual, are lost which are perhaps reintroduced through momentum transitions in
the form of virtual gauge boson exchanges, and the appearance of new phases (mediating the phase
transition of new vacuum state) or a new ground state?

The neutrino was postulated by Fermi in order to have energy conserved in nuclear decay. The
neutrino is a spin particle (Fermion). When a global gauge (phase?) transformation is not
possible, a broken symmetry exists, necessitating the introduction of an exchange particle (gauge
boson) which restores the broken symmetry (locally at least?). Is momentum conservation
regained in this manner? Is there a recoil momentum for fermions exchanging bosons between
themselves?

The 100 GeV energy cutoff for vacuum fluctuations may be due to a kind of temporal Casimir
Effect where the resonance with harmonic hyperspherical potential is f = h/100 GeV.


All conserved dynamical variables are purely timelike in free space. Inertia and gravitation are
phenomena associated with the projection of these timelike four vectors into spacelike
components. An important question here is whether there is a conserved four potential. Does
the creation of spacelike components of four potential induce a change in the timelike four
potential so that the sum of time and spacelike components of some new four potential vectorially
sum to produce a new four potential with the same magnitude as the inertial free space four
potential. Perhaps these dynamical variables are not purely timelike in free space, but possess
balanced timelike and spacelike projections.

There is a distinction to be made between the proposition that substance is the basis of continuity
and substance is defined as the basis of continuity.

Research what is called The Shapiro Effect in Relativity Theory.

The anomalous gravitational component experienced by pioneer (and other) spacecraft may be
explained in terms of the effect of the Suns gravity upon its surrounding vacuum field to increase
this fields mass by a perhaps related to the gravitational gamma factor, GM/Rc**2. The
discrepancy between predicted and observed sunward acceleration will increase as these space
probes leave the solar system.

The ZPFs cannot act on themselves independently of imposed boundary conditions that alter the
balanced distribution of the bosonic and fermionic components of these fields.

With the classical gravitational field decaying with R**-2 and the mass of the vacuum decreases
with X dependence to explain the Pioneer spacecraft gravitational anomalies.

Or if there is a time-varying, cosmological constant, i.e., vacuum energy, a gradient in the local
density of the vacuum energy would contribute a nonclassical component to the Suns
gravitational field.

The pervasive appearance of providential coincidence and meaning may be explicable in terms of
an innate self-limiting structure of consciousness in that highest level processing of sensory and
internal state data takes place within the unconscious which maintains a kind of mentor role
relationship to the conscious mind, which plays the apprentice/ protg` role.

Maybe individual consciousness itself is a function of the brains internal model of its own mental
states. Perhaps the extra confidence, altruism and sense of the urgency of self preservation is
worth the extra processing power of the brain devoted to the maintenance of a self symbol.
Certainly the raw data processing power of the individual brain would be much greater without the
necessity of maintaining the self symbol, but for the clan or tribal collective, survivability is
greater if each individual possesses his own self symbol.

A nondeterministic system cannot maintain its order without the input of information of closed
systems, the less restrictive requirement of a closed system only needing Gibbs free-energy to
maintain its order.

The excluded vacuum energy transitions define the new momentum fluctuations of the crystal.
A photon that does not interact with any other real particle or field is just as real as a set of neither
timelike nor spacelike, but null correlated vacuum fluctuations. A photon must acquire mass in a
gravitational field relative to an observer positioned in free space. This is the case because
relative to this observer, the photon possesses a finite timelike motion as it falls into the
gravitational well of an, e.g., star, e.g., the Sun.

Only bound energy systems define discrete transition energy levels that are forbidden to the
vacuum state.

In the following, c.f., April 2000 issue of Scientific American, Quantum Teleportation article.

Information is transmitted superluminally in the quantum teleportation experiments, but the code
necessary to read this information, must be transmitted by conventional (subluminal) signals.

Because teleporting Psi of the system is to teleport all that defines the system, this is equivalent to
teleporting the system itself, c.f., principle of quantum indistinguishability of identical particles.

No cloning theorem: cannot copy a quantum state without destroying the original simulacrum.

Random measurement of a quantum state does not disturb the state, meaning the uncertainties
are unaffected?

Can only quantum teleport what can exist as a fluctuation. Only pure quantum states can possess
an antistate. Is thermodynamic equilibrium required to be in a pure quantum state for matter
without a fluctuation equivalent?

E = pc for photon and p = hk, E = hw. The photon is completely spacelike in flat space because
it has no energy associated with a timelike momentum.

A pure quantum state does not have to be purely timelike, just coupled exclusively to the vacuum
(the object as a whole). The object can have internal, spacelike momentum exchanges and still
be in a pure state just no momentum exchanges exceeding the momentum uncertainty of the
object as a whole.



Can an observer move rapidly enough relative to two nonlocally-connected particles of already
measured +/- spin (within the reference frame of two spacelike separated, inertial observers) so
that within the relatively moving (accelerating) observers reference frame, a causal influence
could have propagated from inertial observer A, where a spin measurement was performed, to
inertial observer B, where the nonlocally-connected-to-particle-A particle B acquires a spin
eigenstate?

The nonlocally connected, spin particles are simultaneous within all inertial frames;
locally-connected particles are non-simultaneous in all inertial frames.

The velocity of interference patters exhibited by interacting photons is indeed dependent upon the
motion of the observer.

There may be an absolute uncertainty of position determined by the Planck length, which is
necessarily associated with an absolute maximum density of 3-momentum fluctuations. The
Planck particle must be as close to an energy eigenstate as possible, but perhaps it cannot be in an
actual energy eigenstate due to the entropy of its Hawking radiation emitted by its minimal surface
area. Is entropy quantized through the entropy of a Planck particles Hawking radiation?

Independently existing force that one can then resolve into orthogonal component. But should
one follow this same rule when representing a vector composed of fluctuations composed of
virtual momentum and energy?

Classical versus quantum may be generalized as intuitive (built upon experience of ordinary
reality) versus counterintuitive (transcending ordinary world). Conceptually, the intuitive is
underpinned by the counterintuitive. Practically, the counterintuitive is defined in terms of the
intuitive. This is analogous to the philosophy of method embodied in the Copenhagen
Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics.

People dont change because they are either incapable or unwilling to look at themselves as others

One must dissociate somewhat in order to grapple with the psychological processes that underpin

If the momentum-energy fluctuations drive the fluctuations in particle position-time fluctuation
instead of momentum-energy fluctuations driving fluctuations in the metric as an intermediary
step to causing position-time fluctuations, then perhaps the momentum-energy of the ZPF need not
gravitate.

Only closed universes can arise from quantum tunneling, c.f., From Newtons Laws to the
Wheeler-DeWitt Equation, by John W. Norbury.

The wavepacket possesses a degree of dispersion about the mean position in spacetime occupied
by the classical particle with trajectory defined by a geodesic of spacetime. The Gaussian
wavepacket is also characterized by expectation values, or mean values, of the quantities of
momentum and energy. Does the Gaussian wavepacket of a particle traveling along a
spacetime geodesic do so only in an approximate manner, determined by the expectation values of
position and time? If so, then this has implications for the Einstein equivalence principle,
particularly with regard to the Heisenberg uncertainties, or fluctuations in, time, position, energy,
and momentum. The classical particle geodesic spacetime trajectory may possess an underlying
dynamics in which the distinction between particle and spacetime is seen as not fundamental.
Momentum and position fluctuations in the vacuum, as well as, fluctuations in energy and time
must not occur independently of on another, but in a coordinated manner, which maintains the
constancy of h-bar as well as the conservation of fluctuation momentum-energy. Since,
according to David Bohm, c.f., Quantum Theory (1951), all causal connections may be recast into
the form of correlations of fluctuations, we might justly suppose that the geodesic path of a
classical particle through spacetime can be alternatively described in terms of a coherent set of
quantum correlations obtaining between the fluctuation quantities in terms of which the particles
momentum-energy may be defined and those fluctuations in terms of which the particles
spacetime position may be defined. But to complete this alternative, fluctuation-correlation
based description of particle dynamics, we require some way of connecting fluctuations in the
spacetime metric to fluctuations in the particles position-time.





The purpose in performing abstraction of more relevant features of the concrete and suppression of
the less so is just so that we can work with the realm of articulable symbols. In this way, if a truth
is discovered, it shall be reportable to the intersubjective collectivity. There is a distinction of
the more or less intrinsic and the more or less extrinsic that we seek to discover as we turn the
object around, this way and that, within our hands (tools and instruments of probing, detection,
measurement). We are neurotic in not having confidence that we truly know something without
the aid of the mediation of symbols whole only true purpose is to clue in others on what we
ourselves are already intimately acquainted with. A misconception lies behind the philosophers
and the scientists desire to unlock the secrets of consciousness read: consciousness as such.
But what if the forms of consciousness are all that is communicable about that phenomenon, while
the raw feels of one individuals consciousness versus that of anothers is a comparison void of
any sense or meaning or simply impossible (in concept and application). There is no collective,
intersubjective knowledge to be had concerning that, which is itself infra-subjective, what is like to
be me. And there is not subjective knowledge to be had concerning the nature of consciousness
itself or as such. If there is no consciousness as such, that is, if there is not abstract feature
common to all individual consciousnesses, such that each individual consciousness is an
instantiation of this general consciousness, then each individual consciousness is unique and a law
unto itself. So here we see that form is instantiated within an individual consciousness, but
consciousness is not itself an instantiation of any general form. So the individual consciousness
is neither an assembly of forms less general than itself, nor is it an instantiation of something more
general than itself. That which is not an instantiation cannot possess a general nature. But that
which is an instantiation of a metaphor can possess an analogical nature. What sort of analogy
can obtain between to entities which are themselves formally describable? So the mystics are
only partly correct: it is not the case that consciousness (as such) simply is; this is true of each
individual consciousness! So the answer to the question what is the secret of consciousness?
The secret of consciousness is the alterity of other minds. The answer is as far as a unified
answer is possible is the state of ones own being. This answer is infinitely plural, the knowledge
of which is infinitely singular.


3-momentum fluctuations mediate reversible time. The imaginary component of 4-momentum
fluctuations mediate irreversible (entropy-laden) temporal evolution. On this view, the event
horizon of a black hole being the collection of points at which spacelike and timelike intervals
reverse themselves, and hence, timelike and spacelike fluctuations exchange roles. Therefore,
we expect all irreversible momentum exchanges to be taking place at the black holes event
horizon. So the entropy content of the black hole stems entirely from its surface area (event
horizon) and so the density of the holes internal energy should be dependent upon the inverse
square of the holes radius.




The vacuums energy fluctuation spectrum, within an accelerated reference frame, is that of a
black body (Unruh Effect). The Hawking Radiation spectrum of a black hole is also that of a
black body. Particle production with a black body spectrum may occur in a universe with
hyperspherical potential, as in the case of an accelerating cosmological expansion.

C.f., extend inflation theories, cosmological quantum tunneling, and cosmological particle
production, etc.

overcome by the teleological determination of some diachronicity.

When the gauge symmetry of a quantum field is broken, this field is no longer invariant under
global gauge transformations. Is local gauge invariance in the absence of global gauge
invariance the same thing as what is called gauge covariance?

Most of my scientific research consists in collecting circumstantial evidence for the

Chaos is at the opposite end of system behavior spectrum from highly energy degenerate systems.

Scholarship is largely an exploration of links within the implicit hypertext.


Possibility and actuality evolve in unison how could they not, if they are at all tied to one
another? Possibilities are largely suggested by actualities. Possibility lies in the imagination
alone and is not latent and preexistent. But the possible and the actual may not be separable
except through an act of conscious observation. In fact, possibility, actuality, and necessity are
not separated in an isolated, deterministically evolving quantum system. Isolation of a
quantum system, which is deterministically evolving according to the Schrodinger equation, must
be understood to nevertheless remain coupled to the vacuum fluctuation field. It is just that in
this particular case, the system is being sustained continuously and is not a conduit of
back-reaction of an extraneous vacuum state upon this sustaining vacuum field.

Some mechanism, which prevents directed dispersion of Psi packets, i.e., acceleration of Psi

The energy of a nonlocally connected field cannot gravitate without a modification of the Einstein
field equations being required. Deficit of vacuum energy gravitates since the vacuum energy is
probably of negative magnitude.

If civilization had to rebuild itself, different theories would lead to the discovery of very different
theoretical entities, which would then be reified.

Stability of extended objects is supported by Goldstone modes. Inertia is in terms of excitation
and reconstruction of Goldstone modes.

Obviously, if the energy density of the quantum vacuum is on the order of magnitude predicted by
QM, matter cannot actually pass through this medium, but must traverse it by moving atop this
hyperdense medium. Continuous reformation of particles and fields would be indicated here.
At successive locations of spacetime appears the only viable means for matter to have motion
within the vacuum. A ready analogy is the icon on a computer desktop.

Spacetime is constituted out of information and its activity. So information is not transmitted
through spacetime. Information has to be nonlocally encoded, that is, if any code at all is
necessary (because consciousness is unmediated)

In a self-reproducing system, the new incarnation of the system must also have knowledge about
how to reproduce itself. This poses a recursion problem. So the system cannot be a closed or
isolated system and reproduce itself it must continually draw information in from outside of
itself, which is not the same as entropy leaving the system: a limited amount of entropy can leave
the system, but there is no theoretical limit to the quantity of information which can enter the
system from outside.

A unique, non-reproducible process cannot possess a complete description in terms of a set of
definable physical laws.

A process cannot be completely understood in terms of its phenomenological by-products.

Within a strictly logical chain of influence, there is no increase or decrease of the quantity of
information represented by each logical step in deriving the concluding proposition or theorem
from the premises. Although the successive production of each step in the sequence of logically
demonstrating a valid theorem, as a manifestation of a process of thought on the part of a human
consciousness, not in possession of either perfect logic or of unlimited calculating capacity, would
not itself necessarily be a deterministic manipulation of data (logic is allegedly not empirically
based, but that is another story) or of symbols.

The particular sequence of inferential operations may itself constitute a kind of code which locates
(identifies) the particular system of inference within some larger metasystem. Many logical
equivalencies cannot be perceived directly, but require demonstration through rules of inference.
Semantic equivalencies, however, are directly intuited (perceived) by anyone who understands
both propositions. Same meaning and distinct, logical structures versus different meaning and
identical logical structures. Abstract structures, like thermodynamic state variables, are
overdetermined entities. Concrete structure, like quantum mechanical observables, are
underdetermined entities.

Derridas concept of always alreadiness seems to give the nod to the notion of a timeless

Nondestructive quantum measurement and observation without interference with the system.
Nonlocally connected quantum states may be understood as co-present states. Nonlocal

Can the transcendent be understood as that part of reality lying altogether outside (possible)
intersubjectivity? It is clear that the consciousness of the individual is not itself an artifact of
intersubjectivity, but is subjectivity itself. Only the forms that appear within consciousness of
the individual stem from intersubjectivity.

The demagogues arbitrary conceptions and suggestibility of his subjects are exactly complentary.

Why is the energy density of the vacuum not simply the energy contained in each Planck volume
summed together that can be packed into a cubic meter, in the case of vacuum energy in Joules per
cubic meter? Is it possible that the 3-momentum components of this otherwise enormous
vacuum energy largely counterpoise the timelike component of the quantum vacuum energy so
that the density of energy of the vacuum globally averages to some small value of the cosmological
constant? Is the enormous potential of this largely self-compensated vacuum energy only tapped
when appropriate boundary conditions are applied, say, those posed by bound systems of real
fermions?

Scattering amplitudes for collision of two identical particles interfere constructively for bosons
and destructively for fermions, c.f., p. 1405, QM, vol. 2.

Because the symmetrization postulate does not apply to well separated particles, a spin-based
theory of gravity would be expected to be a local theory.

Virtual particle/field reactions and processes may be viewed as the fundamental processes
undergone by vacua in their quiescent, unperturbed state and real particles and fields are
manifestation of the vacuum when perturbed by a driving source term such as an applied electric or
magnetic field.

In bound energy systems, changes in energy are always associated with emission or absorption of
bosons by the system as bound fermions undergo discrete transitions in energy.

The discrete energy structure of matter, e.g., discrete orbitals in the Hydrogen atom, are modified
according to the splitting of degeneracys resulting from this atom being incorporated into a
crystalline atomic lattice. The exact structure, or fine structure, is coordinate to the vastly
increased number of discrete virtual transitions that the atom is now able to make after being
incorporated into the bound, material structure of the crystal. To each new possible discrete
energy, transition there corresponds an exchange of a virtual photon of atoms within the crystal of
lattice.

The discrete, virtual transitions of the crystal lattice energy which are forbidden to the vacuum
state of the crystal occur, but are driven by vacuum momentum fluctuations, manifesting
themselves as exchanges in virtual bosons between fermions of the crystal lattice. The enhanced
fluctuation momentum current density of spacetime within the volume occupied by the crystal
exists in combination with a decreased fluctuation energy current density. Consequently, the
crystal induces a shift in the volume of spacetime it occupies of the fluctuation momentum-energy
current density so that the density of uncertainty energy, /\E / cm**3, is decreased by the same
fraction that the density of uncertainty momentum, /\p / cm**3, of the quantum vacuum is
increased. The velocity of the crystal mass through time is less than the in vacuo velocity of light
by a certain fraction. This fraction is determined by the ratio of the energy density of the crystal
to the energy density of the free space vacuum occupied by the crystal. This fraction is also the
fraction by which the velocity of light through space is less than that of the free space vacuum.
And this fraction is determined by the ratio of the free space momentum density of the crystal
relative to the momentum density of the volume occupied by the crystal. Although the timelike
momentum of the relativistic mass is unchanged by the effects of the crystal lattices mass upon
the supporting quantum vacuum, the timelike momentum of the nonrelativistic mass, has
decreased by a fraction equal to the fraction by which the spacelike mass of the crystal has
increased. Since the crystal is at rest within its embedding 3-space, we cannot consistently
compare any shifts in the timelike and spacelike momenta of the bulk mass. The angle of rotation
of the spacetime coordinate system of the mass, i.e., the crystal lattice, relative to a spacetime
coordinate system in vacuo, must then be determined by the relative shifts in the magnitudes of the
timelike and spacelike momentum flux (or current) densities. In order to decide whether it is the
momentum flux densities or the momentum current densities which are the relevant physical
quantities, we shall have to make some general observations concerning how these two easily
confused quantities compare.
First of all, the momentum current density is a four vector, while the momentum flux density is a
one form. The relativistic effects upon mass, length, and time within special relativity derive
from spacetime rotations, called Lorenz boosts, of some objects four momentum. The
relativistic effects within general relativity are ultimately founded upon the possibility of defining
spacetime rotations of the momentum flux density of the vacuum relative to its free space
momentum flux density. What is interesting in comparing the momentum current densities of
special relativity with the momentum flux densities of general relativity is that the former are
defined for bulk matter while the latter are defined for matter understood as an interconnected
network of flux meta-stabilities in the activity of the quantum vacuum. The momentum of
matter, understood as the momentum of vacuum fluctuation fluxes, modulated by imposed
boundary conditions (represented by the presence of matter), is very much in keeping with the
cellular automata theoretic interpretation of matter as a pattern of oscillation of the unit cells.
The resistance to deformation and the resistance to accelerated motion displayed by cellular
automata both originate in the mutual back-reaction of matter and vacuum.

The matter of special relativity possesses a continuous existence as inert quantities of bulk
material, i.e., substances, indifferent to the passage of time. Within our interpretation of general
relativity underpinned by quantum processes, matter does not possess a continuous existence as a
substance, but only as a more or less sustained pattern of activity in vacuum. This activity is
exhausted in the fluctuations of the quantum vacuums momentum-energy.

Although length contraction is a reversible effect within special relativity, time dilation is itself an
irreversible operation.

Is it possible to have nested quantum mechanical systems such that there exist two or more distinct
energy uncertainties,
October 2011
for example a single, overarching system may possess myriad
distinct compartments, each possessing its own density matrix description with associated
entropy.

In this way, acceleration of overlapping, nested systems would not be merely relative, but the
acceleration of one or the other system would be marked by distinctly different spectra of particles
produced out of the vacuum, i.e., distinctly different type of Unruh radiation.

Within cellular automata theory, there is no reason to view, for example, the electron of the
Hydrogen atom as possessing an angular momentum independent of quantum mechanical, i.e.,
intrinsic, spin. On this view, a particles angular momentum is composed of two parts, timelike
and spacelike components of intrinsic spin. The spacelike component of such an electrons
angular momentum would be constituted by a connection (possibly Bell nonlocal) between the
virtual e+e- pairs along the electrons orbital trajectory. The electrons total angular momentum,
J, is conserved and is composed of the two parts such that J = L + S.

In special relativity it is possible to derive all of the relativistic effects of velocity upon mass,
length, and time through treating the 3-momentum of a mass as resulting from a spacetime
rotation. This spacetime rotation is just the projection of the mass 4-momentum, initially
completely timelike, i.e., imaginary, onto a new spacetime coordinate system, rotated in the
direction of motion of the mass, relative to the rest spacetime coordinate axes. The inverse
hyperbolic tangent of the ratio of the mass real 3-momentum to its initial imaginary 4-momentum
determines the angle of spacetime rotation. Alternately, at least for v c, this angle of
spacetime rotation may be determined by the ratio of the mass 3-velocity to the velocity of light
(in vacuo).

What we might term energy density energy space density is a function of both energy and volume.
A complementary quantity may be defined as inverse momentum time density. This quantity
has units of sec/ kg-m-sec**-1 or kg-m**-1. This quantity is the momentum density of time.
But time itself is not a quantity, but only intervals of time may be treated as true quantities. The
same observation applies to position and position intervals.

The energy content of matter possess a seeming absolute physical meaning because this energy is
secretly relative to the energy of the vacuum. But the component of the vacuums energy, which
is not constrained by any quantum field, initial, or boundary conditions, does not possess an energy
of absolute magnitude. This is because, in the absence of boundary conditions, e.g., the age and
physical radius of the observable Universe, there is no possibility of defining a global energy
density, i.e., cosmological constant. This difficulty is similar to that of speaking of a
gravitational potential when no position of zero gravitational potential has been defined.

Brain energy levels, transitions between these energy levels and corresponding exchanges of
momentum between neurons.

There is a dialectical, two-way transformation, which takes place between hypothesis, and theory,
which is driven by intuition. It is similar to attempting to make conversation with a native of a
foreign language when one has only a rudimentary working knowledge of the foreign tongue.
Nature is the native speaker and Man is the touristing foreigner. This foreign language is
mathematics and the foreign native and his language comprise here a unity. Mathematics is a
unified, infinite, unbounded, but temporally evolving system. Classes of infinity points to the
possibility that mathematics infinite self-knowledge is inadequate to span its depths.

Why should people be sent to hell when God is all good and fair??? No one is bad enough to
deserve living in eternal damnation.

Damnation is simply separation from God, which is always ultimately the choice of the individual.

God would that all souls spend eternity in loving union with Him. However, God, in His infinite
mercy, could not subject an individual with unforgiven Sin on his soul to stand eternally in His
Presence, as this would amount to a far greater torment for this person than would result from the
eternal separation of this person from his Creator. Furthermore, such a person is really not
capable of the love when God desires from his children.

Now if an individual were given full knowledge of the stark nature of the alternatives between
which he wee to choose, God or separation from Him, the choice for such a person could hardly be
a freely willed one, but would be a merely calculated choice coerced by fear. God desires that
all choose Him out of Love.

Well, the consequence of this choice for each soul is final because real choices are dependent for
their reality upon real consequences. God did not desire to create a false and hollow realm in
which the unfolding dramas were to be so much mere play-acting. God desired to create not to
merely recreate. Recreation constituted by ultimately pointless amusements is perhaps an
adequate distraction for temporal Man, but does nothing to assuage a truly Cosmic Loneliness.
The creation of Man opened up new (and real) experiences of finitude for the Godhead: fear, joy,
uncertainty, hope, ambiguity, conceptual thought, emotion, revelation, none of these powerful
experiences being possible for a Being beyond Time and Space and transcending all dual
distinctions such as Life/Death, Good/Evil, Male/Female, etc.

After all, God created Adam, and by extension, all humans, through breathing into inanimate
matter the breath of His eternal Spirit. The reality of the human person requires that his/her
independence from God be potentially eternal. The possibility of him/her actually loving God
requires that his/her choice of God be radically free. God seeks Real Love, in other words!

Modern Philosophy by Roger Scruton

Objects or forms are eternal not because they have always secretly existed, but because they were
created genuinely de novo. It will always be the case that such objects had existed. An eternal
form or object conceived in the traditional sense of eternal may never actually come to be
concretized as an existent entity or thing.

A real particle may be chosen as the origin of a spacetime coordinate system, but a virtual particle,
i.e., a vacuum fluctuation cannot be so chosen.

Any number of events may be simultaneous with one another, that is, occupy the same time.
However, this is not the case where space, as opposed to time, is concerned.

P. 378, Modern Philosophy, Roger Scruton. The last paragraph applies to my theory of purpose
of human existence.

P. 481, MP, R.S. The Self is a social construct so that the program of deconstruction cannot be
consistently carried through. P. 482, God is not a particular being among particular beings in the
same way that the transcendental self is not. We are different from the worm in precisely the
same way in that we are similar to God. This answers the question, if God is as much greater than
Man as man is greater than a worm, in which Man is certainly not interested, then how can God
truly have an interest in man, if not merely in the sense in which a zoologist is interested in a mere
worm?

Escape From Freedom

p. 148

The completely unassuming individual is equated with the typical or average psychologically and
socially well-adjusted individual. But when one considers that society itself in the post industrial
age may possess pathological traits. . .

For the intelligent, sensitive soul, the world must always be experienced through some sort of
psychological condition which assuredly has been catalogued in some clinicians diagnostic
manual or psychological research journal. The question is whether such psychological
conditions are merely modes of thought and perception which the individual finds convenient and
expedient for the interpreting of his experience for the at a particular juncture of life, or whether it
is a relatively inflexible manifestation of an abiding character trait.

formation of ideas. Dissent is encouraged to prevent the people from perceiving monolith against
which they might rebel. Fromms idea of the power of anonymous authority, as opposed to the
external authority or conscience.

p. 209, Critique of Pure Reason

That which constitutes objects out of appearances presupposes the operation of the forms of
intuition, that is, space and time. The dynamical relation of that which constitutes objects relative
to this relation in its constitution of the possibility of objects as such determines the gravity of the
particular objects. The principle of coherence by which other objects could be engendered in its
place as alterations of the original object constitutes the objects inertia.

p. 219

The appearance of objects of experience as codetermined, that is, as compresent with one another,
cannot conform to a causal principle applying to relations discernable between the compresent
objects, i.e., the objects are simultaneously present. Changes in state versus changes in that,
merely to which states may be attributed.

Critique of Pure Reason, pp. 228-229

Substance is active because equated with the indeterminate the negation of which does not yield its
dual opposite and so the determinations of substance are never external but arise within it. Since
time is the successive determination of substance, we see that the basis of all change is the activity
of substance itself acting through itself. The ultimate explanation for the interaction, mutually,
of various determination of substance must lie with the action of substance itself within condition
established through but not by, previous of its determinations.

If there are not limitations or boundary conditions through which substance acts, then no object
can be given which may be thought to enjoy a particular state or other and so the concept of inertia,
or the resistance to a change in state, would not apply to such a completely unrestrained activity on
the part of substance. Attempting to apply the concepts of inertia and gravitation to the activity
of the quantum vacuum in the total absence of boundary conditions being placed upon it reminds
us of the misguided attempt to constitute the transcendent ground and the principle of its activity in
terms of merely empirical relationships obtaining between its various temporal manifestations.

Gravity and inertia are different modes of interaction or relationship between existents as
determinations of substance or ground and do not apply to grounds self-operation or activity.

For an activity to exist it must, first of all, persist, that is, maintain itself against the activity of the
ground which brought it forth to being with. The entity by existing, serves as a condition upon
grounds continuing activity in its production of and mediation of the changes to other entities that
it supports and this is how the gravitational influence of one entity upon another becomes possible.

Critique of Pure Reason, p. 233

Gravitation cannot act instantaneously through nonlocal quantum interactions.

Since the negation of the indeterminate is not defined in the sense of determinate thing, the
determination of substance arises from within substance itself.

In Hume, there is no distinction between arising of new objects and the alteration of the same
object. Application of logic cannot be explicated in logical terms.

There are difficulties with the correspondence theory of truth where recursive propositions are
concerned. Methodological arrangement versus systematic unity.

Intuition is the simultaneous arising de novo of a new concept with its founding exemplar so
intuition involves a much more intimate relationship between the concept and one of its objects.
The understanding applies concepts to the categorizing of its objects. What about the
application of concepts to sensation which underpins the perception of or emergence of objects
within sensation?

The momentum of a particle cannot be greater than p = mc, where m is the mass of the particle.

Measures of uncertainty of an observable in terms of the observables eigenfunction expansion.
There are an unlimited number of eigenfunction spectra which possess the same uncertainty of the
associated observable. We may distinguish the probability that a system is in a particular
quantum state, Psi, from the probability that a measurement of a Psi observable will produce the
eigenvalue, O(j), associated with Psi(j). Such a distinction would exist where degeneracys, the
probability of O(j) is greater than |Psi|. If the energy uncertainty of a particle could be attributed
to the particle itself and not to some medium with which the particle interacts, still better, which
continually reconstitutes the particle, then the uncertainty of the particles energy must be
attributed to the observer.

Erfahrung als ob is intimately related to the question of the mythological dimension of
perception. Objects given in the presentational continuum are always artifacts of intentionality,
i.e., on imposed flux stability. Inertia is a property of coherence. Everything changes as fast as it
can if left to itself. Change is always communicated from outside. Outside has two aspects.
These may be termed constituted and constituting.

Dasein is the uniquely human aspect of human Being which cannot be reduced analyzed or
represented or simulated (by a computer).

The being which is unique to the individual ego is not the being which exists in any
communication medium.

One has the suspicion that one is not at home, still more, that one does not exist.

Intimacy has been almost wholly converted into sexuality or a way of being unto sex, if you will.

No distinction between the profound and the merely trivial or banal. There is no basis for
judging something more good or beautiful than another. The working vocabulary is always
much smaller than the recognition vocabulary. Coincidence of meaning are generated by the
tendency of the act of perception to be thematic. The transcendent being has no knowledge of
itself as other. We have silently conspired collectively to ignore the blatant fact that our lives are
a mystery in terms of their origin, mode, and destiny.

A phrase uttered many times unreflectingly until one day one finds oneself in the circumstances
which at first occasioned its first use. One then says to oneself, Oh, so thats what they mean
by this! One feels privileged to have entered into and connected with ones own everyday
culture.

One may now use the phrase in the presence of others that only understood it by having paid lip
service by mimicry and one may attempt to signal ones deeper, substantive new understanding
through demonstrating a particularly knowing and explicit use of the phrase. The height of
clueless geekiness would be the case where one indulges this impulse while secretly these others
had always understood what the meaning of this magic phrase. Ones ridiculous
misinterpretation of the situation would probably be readily apparent to the more perceptive
individuals.

Because the choice to perform an observation is initiated from outside the composite system
observers brain/system-to-be-observed, namely through the free will of the observer, based in
transcendence, of the observer/experimenter, the new quantum mechanical system, though
expandable in terms of the eigenfunctions (energy) of the old system, must end up in either an
excited or de-excited state, assuming the system had previously been prepared in on of its available
eigenstates. But what about the case where the system is not in a prepared eigenstate?

Time is not reducible to mere change occurring to existent things. For one could imagine a case
in which all processes in the universe had been frozen into a state of unchangedness and then ask
for who long this state of global unchangedness has been in effect, in a word ask for this states
duration.

Time is not reversible. For we can imagine that if the direction of times flow were reversed,
then this event would have to have occurred at some particular time or other. If the even of time
reversal is included among the other evens making up the time stream so reversed then this event
would recede ever further into the future, and so, with regard to the new direction of time hasnt
happened yet. In other words, the time reversal, in this case, will have never happened at any
time in the past and could not be thought to have occurred at all. On the other hand, if the event
of the time reversal is not included in the time stream reversed, then it along with all its
contemporaneous events recedes ever further into the past and so in this case too the time reversal
cannot properly be thought to have taken place.

There are a number of difficulties with McTaggart's famous proof of the unreality of Time. The
proof presupposes that the predicates, past, present, and future may be treated entirely on an equal
footing as categories. I believe this is fundamentally mistaken because past, present and future
may be distinguished by the fact that the past is determined, the present is the activity of the past
determining itself, or of the present determining itself as past, whereas the term "future" does not
refer to a determinate category at all, that is, if Reality is, indeed, an open system as we have
argued for extensively thought this text.


Even the past itself may not be so easily characterized as determinate since the past, at the time it
was present, may not have succeeded in fully determining itself as past at the precise moment in
which that heretofore present moment determined itself as a forever past moment. We may then
distinguish two presents, what we may term the temporal present and the eternal present. The
temporal present is that part of the present which itself fully succeeded in determining itself as past
within some previous present moment. The eternal present, on the other hand, is that component
of this identical present moment which existed in all previous present moments and which may
well exist in all succeeding present moments, namely that component which never succeeds in
determining itself as past, but which may therefore be thought to have the essential role in
determining the present as past in every case of temporal succession of moments. There is, of
course, nothing to prevent the existence of a kind of present which falls somewhere between these
two extremes of the temporal and eternal present. For example, part of the indeterminate with
which some present moment is continuous may not succeed in determining itself as past before the
next succeeding moment, but may succeed in doing so at some later moment. Of course, in a
completely closed universe, in which time is completely reversible and possessing no intrinsic
scale, the earlier/later distinction of the B series is undercut while the distinction between past,
present and future is likewise undercut within the A series.

Past may be thought of as the interpreted present. The future may be thought of as the
uninterpreted present.

Eternal present as ground , temporal present as presentational continuum.



This seems contradictory, but there is an equivocation of the sense in which the term past is being
used. Past may be understood as determined or may be understood in the more orthodox or
common sense relational sense, that of the relation of some moment to the present moment or to a
moment later in time in relation to this moment.

Order is a structuring of data and not of information. Classical data and quantum information.

p. 139, eqn. 10.1.23,

A(u;v) A(v;u) = A(u,v) A(v,u)

In other words, the covariant curl is the same as the ordinary curl. Moreover, by eqn. 10.1.21,

Phi;v = Phi, v, in other words, the covariant gradients are the same
as the ordinary gradients. How would we describe in General Relativity a vibrating
3-hypersurface. Wouldnt such a a motion of spacetime be considered to be nonphysical
within this theory?

Space and time cannot be quantized because their complementary observables, momentum and
energy, already are quantized, conserved quantities.

Phi, v x Phi, v = (phi,v)**2 ~= Phi,v x Phi, V,

Just as d**2/dx**2 ~= (d/dx)**2? Then d/dx is not an operator and equations with d/dx are not
linear?

There must be a non-phenomenological basis for psychic continuity.

Time paradoxes stem from the attempt to spatialize time. We can illustrate this confusion by
contrasting changes in time zone due to rapid travel over the Earths surface versus keeping a
constant position on the Earths surface and waiting for the time zone to change due to the
Earths rotation. If going forward in time and cross international dateline, go back 24 hours (on
day). If going backward in time and crossing International Dateline, go forward 24 hours (1 day).

The Many Worlds Interpretation of QM presupposes a clear-cut distinction between real ad
virtual states (worlds). But since any possible world, if made real, cannot be what it is
completely free of quantum superposition states, we are forced to introduce the concept of
possible possible worlds. In turn, we must admit the existence. In turn, we must admit the
existence of possible possible possible worlds, etc., ad infinitum.

Because the definition of order is always at least partly conventional (to an indeterminate and
changing degree), as is reflected in the necessarily partially arbitrary formulation of physical laws,
we are forced to admit the relevance to the temporal evolution of dynamical systems, of the
concept of metaentropy. This concept of metaentropy may be connected in an important way
to the fact that even at 0 degrees Kelvin, a perfect crystal, for example, possesses a nonzero
energy, which may be attributed to the interaction of the quantum vacuum with the crystal. That
which is necessarily not an object for a consciousness must be constitutive of it.

Consciousness demands an open system because thinking is only provoked when old information
is reprocessed and reinterpreted in the light of new experience.

Metaphor is the opposite tendency to the rendering of the repetitive unconscious by rendering the
novel familiar. Transfer of context to make sense of the novel and unique.

Existence is just Being placed in a context. Heidegger unearths metaphors which have become
mimetic.

Persistence of self, stability of self against historical conditions which, by changing, threatens to

If the immanent were a creative expression of, as opposed to a causal manifestation of, a realm
transcending duality, i.e., form, then there would be an irreversibility to the linking of th etwo
realms such that no body of evidence collected from within the bounded spatiotemporal domain
could possibly server as proof or identification of the character which originally brought this realm
into existence.

The argument against personal immortality is frequently based upon the distinction between
mnemonic versus bodily continuity in which it is claimed that the former is of a weaker variety
than the latter. But bodily continuity is only a statistically based appearance within the context
of quantum theory and is a uniquely classical physical concept, valid only within a certain limited
domain and to a certain approximation.

It is thought that the ultimate means of distinguishing mind A from mind B is through the different
physical locations of their bodies.

In a closed system there is no basis for distinguishing the first from the second, third, etc. times the
system has occupied an identical state. Similarly, there is no basis for distinguishing in
conscious experiential content. But states and persons are distinguishable though their not being
disembodied in the sense of isolated. To say that a mind disembodied is really to imagine it,
superficially, as detached from a body, but, fundamentally, as decoupled from the open system in
which the body in its mere thinghood is a mere interface to an open-ended information context.
But if a mind were to be disembodied in this more full-blooded sense, it could not constitute a
mind at all in the first instance.

Identity of the self is ultimately by virtue of its connectino to some open-ended ground of coherent,
convergent activity. If this connection is severed, this self is instantly revealed as a mere
projection which is suddenly extinguished. But if this connection is extinguished.
Bidirectional

That activity of the ground of the self does not cease with the destruction of the physical interface
of this transcendent activity with the immanent realm of spacetime. Immortality, therefore, may
only be achieved if one comes to identify oneself with this underlying self process, rather than its
epiphenomenal manifestation which is the ego.

It is likely that the ground of being is a
multiplicity with each individual consciousness rooted in its own unique transcendental ground.
Consciousness may only be formally epiphenomenal, but not substantively so, if the causal
relationships of the brains dynamics are themselves rooted in an underlying nonlocally connected
spectrum of quantum entangled vacuum stress-momentum-energy fluctuations. On this view
each individual persons brain tunes to and resonantes with its own unique spectrum of nonlocally
connected vacuum electromagnetic field fluctuations.

We think of consciousness as an instantaneous or transient phenomenon, but the appearance of
consciousness in attendance with various integrated brain physiological processes seems to
demand that something cumulative is taking place within the open-ended context to which it is
connected, and which is its partial expression, which therefore makes a difference to the Universe
as a whole. Now not all of the basis for the temporal interpretation of consciousness, therefore,
is to be found within observable brain processes. Moreover, Reality or the Universe as a whole
is not a whole in a way which could ever be formalized. The wholeness of the Universe in this
metaphysical sense may only be unified in a nonrepresentational fashion, say, through will or
origination, that is, from outside of historical time. And history itself always originates from
outside itself (paradoxically enough).

September 2012
People who require a greater justice born of extraordinary vengeance for a mass
murder, e.g., Oklahoma City bombing, than say, a recompense equivalent in magnitude to that of
the greatest suffering and death individually experienced from among all of the victims of the
crime in question, seem to instinctively subscribe to the notion that there is such a thing as
cumulative and collective suffering, i.e, suffering that is akin somehow to the sum of the suffering
of all of the victims in the mass crime. This instinctive and subconscious belief makes perfect
sense in a theist, but makes no philosophical or rational sense whatever for an atheist. Why do I
say this? Well, because there is no active experiential matrix in which the collective suffering of
the myriad victims is placed so as to permit the suffereings processing as a sum total of human
suffereing. In the case of the theist, there is indeed such an active experiential matrix, which is to
say, God.

In our social interactions we are responding simultaneously to a black box and a faade.

Substance, which is the seat of change, must itself be timeless, unchanging, and hence, context
free. Then how is it that come substances underlie one set of phenomenal qualities and not
another?

The substance/phenomenon or appearance/reality distinction does not exist for God.

It is precisely because there is nothing within the One that all things are from it. ~ Plotinus

Nothing is indeterminate. This can only be true if a thing is defined as such only to the extent
that it possesses determination.

No thing is a mere absence. This is false, since nothing is a mere absence is false: there are
things which are defined in terms of an absence.

Nothing is an abstraction. This is false so some abstractions are things, which is to say, some
entities are merely theoretical or mathematical.

The complete negation of nothing, conceived of so the indeterminate, does not imply the existence
of all things (possible), as no indeterminate ground would be left over to support/ sustain the
existence of the things created from the indeterminate via its negation.

Things come to exist through negation carried on within the indeterminate, not through negation of
the indeterminate. Nothing is identical to everything.





An experimenter or observer performing quantum measurements is aware of considerably more
than the particular system upon which he is to perform a measurement. The
experimenter/observer is also connected, through the other sensory modalities of his
consciousness, with other phenomena associated with the physical context of the experimental
setup/apparatus through the consciousness of the experimenter, various mental contents or
elements are nonlocally connected through all being simultaneously compresent within the
experimenters mind, sensorium, etc. And if there is respective back-reaction of various of these
individual mental elements upon physical system components/features that collectively comprise
the contents of the observers conscious perception, then the nonlocality, which is a necessary
feature of the observers consciousness, then becomes a contingent feature, through back-reaction,
of the spatially distinct components of the quantum mechanical system under observation. In the
particular case of the spontaneous decay of a spin 0 particle into rapidly separating +/- spin
fermions, the nonlocal connection of the results of spin measurements performed upon both halves
of the original system (Psi-system), i.e., the spin +1/2 and the spin particles, is effected via the
continuity provided by the observers consciousness, back-reacting bi-directionally in time. To
wit, it is the nonlocality of the observers back-reacting consciousness, occurring at both spin
measurements, that is responsible for the phenomenon of Einstein, Podolsky, Rosen (EPR)
nonlocality of these +/-spin particles.

The flow of negative charges in one direction within an electronic circuit may be alternatively
described as the flow of positive current in an antiparallel direction. Does back-reaction occur

I am more conscious of he hypertextual structure of the psychological associations which lie
behind my intuitions and perceptions of meaning. This is a case of new technology suggesting
pregnant metaphors that work on the human psychic processes, effecting pervasive
transformations in the individuals perception of his self, the other, and reality itself. Metaphor
is what sustains the unbounded openness of thought.

Imagine that the periodic table of chemical elements possessed certain blank spaces or gaps in
various of its chemical group columns. These gaps would here correspond with descriptions of
chemical elements not actually found in nature, not stable if produced artificially, nor obtainable
even as short-lived atomic/nuclear resonances. In such a case as this, we might suspect hat there
was some inconsistency or incompleteness in our chemical taxonomic system. Actually such a
system would be termed inconsistent since the system of description predicts entities not capable
of existing. The converse situation would be that tin which chemical elements were discovered
in the debris of accelerator collisions, which were not predicted by our chemical table of elements.
This situation is best described as the system of description (embodied in our chemical table) being
incomplete. But it is not difference alone by which language and the understanding function,
but difference supplemented by insight.

Goedels Theorem, by asserting an either-or proposition regarding the incompleteness or
inconsistency of formal systems of mathematics and logic, presupposes the truth of the platonic
hypothesis for mathematics. Certainly this realization about Goedel could have been arrived at
through the Incompleteness Theorems effective assertion that Truth is a stronger notion than
provability. For if the realm of mathematical entities is not indeed timeless (eternal in the
Platonic heaven sense), but possesses temporality, i.e., nondeterministic and noncomputable
changeableness, then formal systems of mathematics may at time, t(1), be inconsistent and
complete, but at some later time, t(2) become incomplete but consistent.

Presence is presence. It does not admit of variety of distinct kinds. Distinct consciousnesses
cannot be pure presences. The notion of pure presence implies absence of depth, potential or the
merely intentional. A somewhat related paradox to that of pure presence is that posed by pure
intentionality. A pure presence may only possess an epiphenomenal temporality, that is,
temporality of a pure presence is completely derivative of some underlying temporal process that
gives of pure presence as epiphenomenon. Pure presence cannot be integrally whole, as the pure
superficiality of presence possesses no internal degree of freedom through which integration might
be effected and sustained.

The Pauli Principle only applies to bound systems of energy therefore possessing discrete energy
eigenstates.

The genuine possibility of objective knowledge is based in the really thereness of that which
figures in the minds perceptual interpretation of external sense data. If grace really exists it
does so in its purest form as it is involved with consciousness as such. This is because there are
not conditions necessary to make consciousness alive. Are individual consciousnesses merely
particular modifications of some general or universal consciousness as such.

There is not actual, substantial quality, common to all individual consciousnesses that makes each
of them particular exemplars of consciousness per se. But then what does make each individual
consciousness an exemplar of consciousness as such must be some relation of analogousness
obtaining between each such exemplar. Or perhaps such an analogical relatedness is derivative
wherein the real mutual commonality of individual consciousness exemplars pertains to eachs
common relationship to alterity. This may be thought of as the mutually analogous manner in
which each self is uniquely defined through its relationship to indeterminate ground- even through
this ground be different in the particular case of each individual.

Consciousness is, by its essential nature, in a state of constant change and transformation. The
self is infinitely degenerate with respect to global changes in consciousness. So there is not
global transformation to the selfs consciousness which could succeed, master-slave fashion, in
transforming this self into that of another this is because what give the self its identity is
relationship to a proprietary indeterminate round in which the only connection between this
relationship and that they which other selves are related to their indeterminate ground is one of
analogy only. But this similarity of individual consciousnesses is of necessity transcendental.

Resonance of the quantum brain with its nonlocal vacuum state is maintained through some active
principle of synchronization, e.g., phase-locking feedback of brain superposition states with some
eigenstate of the nonlocal vacuum.

Transmission of information as opposed to energy between two or more nonlocal vacuums would
involve an exchange of a supraliminal gravitational wave with 0 momentum-energy which would
induce a change in Psi of the other nonlocal vacuum which would not change the energy of this
vacuum. This change in Psi(2) would not be on that vac(2) was otherwise poised to make.
Nonlocal vacua mutually interact to produce a spacetime into which their noninteracting
components project which then may interact through the intermediaries of real momentum and
energy.

We are not ready to assimilate the behavior patterns of others until we have already imbued our
perceptions of their behavior through having projected onto them something internal to the self.

Consciousness is not characterized by Psi since the temporal evolution of Psi is a deterministic
process, while the temporal evolution of an individual consciousness is nondeterministic. Psi
evolves temporally in the absence of energy exchange of the system characterized by Psi with the
vacuum zero-point energy field.

Observer and observed are always characterized by commuting observables. Every

observables that commute with the observables of the eigenstate that the observed mind as a

the observer-as-system are an indissoluble unity.

No temporality in the production of conscious mental states if a deterministic connection between

Derridas concept of deferance, i.e., both difference and deferment is necessary to the production

Writers typically indulge in self-plagiarism and quote passages from their works, working material
forcibly, bodily into their spoken communications. Again, the motive behind this is to maintain
the illusion of constant presence before and constant connection with an audience.

Does the vacuum energy expand so as to maintain an isotropic, homogeneous and minimal ground
state energy? E.g., so that there is not spatial momentum flux density variation? I.e., in such a
way that the vacuum possesses no mass. Here we are considering empty spacetimes. In
nonempty spacetimes, gravitation must exist to maintain spacetime flatness.

The ineradicable nature of quantum vacuum energy fluctuations is responsible for the three
fundamental laws of thermodynamics possessing merely relative or approximate validity.

(1) Energy can be neither created nor destroyed.
(2) Entropy always increases in any thermal processes taking place within a closed system
(3) The internal energy of a perfectly ordered crystal is zero at 0 degrees K.

Qualitative changes would take place from within the systems framework of description. Not
so for qualitative changes which stem from alterations in the framework itself which are not

comprising the system.

Only that which persists through change unchanged experiences the passage of time. Literally,
the passage of time is a purely relative, geometrical, and hence, formalizable phenomenon.
When objects are not indifferent to the passage of time, the temporality experienced by the
object is not reversible. If change is discrete, then there is not means of differentiating one rate
of succession from another, on the one hand; if change is continuous, on the other, there is no
means of differentiating different durations of the same underlying continuous substrate to this
change.

For temporal change to be integrable into more comprehensive wholes, frequency must be more
fundamental than time. Energy, in other words must provide the basis of temporality, c.f.,

Time in Quantum Mechanics (Muga, Mayato, Egusquiza):



We cannot think of the waving of the amplitudes of Psi as some sort of continuous temporal
change in the wavefunction because in the energy representation of this temporal evolution of an
amplitude, the square of the wavefunction in this representation only makes a swing in energy of
/\E in an amount of time, t = 1/f, and the change in energy must be greater than /\E in this amount of
time, if this change in energy is to be physically measurable and be considered actual physical
change.

Projection onto and emulation of persons are operations which may become inextricably
intertwined or confused. Projection can be a manifestation of the attempt to penetrate the
mysterious alterity of the other. Mimesis may be a closely related attempt at this penetration.

Is Lorenz invariance/covariance an artifact of a broader symmetry than that described by the
Poincare group? This question arose in light of the necessity of Lorenz invariance being a mere
manifestation of some underlying physical vacuum mechanism. And might this broader
symmetry be that of supersymmetry? The speed of light is an average value because it is the
ratio of two uncertainties, i.e., c = /\E / /\p = the ratio of timelike to spacelike 4-momentum
fluctuations. Supersymmetry seems involved because the hypervolume of uncertainty may be
arbitrarily partitioned into timelike and spacelike momentum (current) density components
(Lorentz invariance of the physical vacuum dictates that there is no unique foliation of spacetime
into a 3 + 1 structure of space and time), while these spacelike and timelike components are
respectively constituted from boson and fermion fluctuations of the vacuum field.

Greater outcrossing enhances the control of natural selection on the course of evolution by

American film possesses what might be termed a foveal fetish. Also the rapidity with which
scenes change in American films is considerably greater than this rate in European films. At
night, the periphery of the eye's retina is more sensitive to faint light than the center. This area of
the eye is more sensitive to light, color, and detail in objects. Looking slightly to one side of a faint
object (averted vision), so that the faint light falls on the more sensitive outer part of the retina,
usually reveals the object more clearly than looking directly at it. Even with brighter objects, this
will reveal more detail. If the object is in the center of the FOV avert your vision and give it a few
moments. Allow your eyes to absorb the light. The longer you look, the more the area comes into

The problem with the filter theory of thought and perception is that it leaves no room for

individual content is perhaps provided through resonance not with some impersonal field, but with

The polyemanationist doctrine may be arrived at through the positing of merely two simple
postulates.
@$
One, reality is too complex to be objectively unified, and two, personal identity, in
the broadest sense of individual consciousness, is an unanalyzable, irreducible concept. These
two postulates are not really so independent of one another, and it may be possible to subsume
them under a single, broader one. If, along with Kant, we consider the objective to be merely that
which can be a proper object of knowledge, then the postulate of the irreducibility of individual
consciousness means that a unified consciousness, or at least an underlying unity to all individual
consciousness qua consciousness, is not possible so that there can be no object of knowledge for
such a universal consciousness. This is all to say that the postulate of the irreducibility of
personal consciousness implies, a la Kant, that no unified object of knowledge exists, and that,
therefore, reality itself is not unified.
@$
By tying the cash value of concepts to possible or
potential experience, the concept of unity (of reality) has no cash value if there is no hypothetical
universal consciousness which can have reality itself (as a whole) as an object of its knowledge.
To wit, if there is not any objective unity of consciousness so that individual consciousnesses are
reducible/analyzable, then no Gods eye view of reality is possible. Given the omniscience of
God, this would imply a non-unified reality. Speculate upon the possible meaning of the

Further evidence for the irreducibility of personal identities is the fact of the profoundly distinct
nature of formal, temporal, and numerical identity. One is not numerically identical with
oneself except in the present moment, but one is temporally identical. One may be formally
identical to another in the somewhat restrictive sense of that component of the self which possesses
a formal description may be structurally identical to this component in another individual. No
amount of temporal evolution will bring two entities, originally separate, into a coincidence of
rigorous numerical identity. Now due to various conservation laws, this is not even possible for
quantum particles that are themselves completely indistinguishable! So it appears from the
discussion thus far that there are at least four distinct kinds of identity: formal, temporal,
numerical, and what we will term here quantum identity.

A purely denotative concept is such a thing possible? Doesnt abstraction necessitate the
creation of metaphor? Do we have a concept of what constitutes a metaphor? Or is metaphor,
paradoxically, itself merely metaphorical? May we liken an object present-to-hand, as a
representation while a tool is an object ready-to-hand? Is this an essential component of
creativity and the unpredictability of technological evolutions which the present-to-hand can
always transform into the ready-to-hand? Are words essentially recursive through a blurring of

Genetic dust bin theory of aging is the theory that natural selection only applies to the fitness of the

end of the reproductive years plus the maturation of time of the youngest individuals in total

doing this, i.e., those which arent ratified by the history of this collectivity whose combined action
have historically constituted the object, or at least what does not have any chance of honoring any
prior claim to the objects constitution these efforts almost always find themselves suppressed,
unless some larger collective body of prior claims on the objects identity can be ascertained and

GRN selects between, for example, the exogamous and endogamous tendencies in sexual selection
based upon the stability or instability of the breeding populations environmental conditions, i.e.,
between miscegenation and incest. As we ascend the GRN, we move up the continuum from
signal to sign to metasymbol, etc.

Perhaps the structural genes provide signals to the open chemical system in which it is embedded
and with which it exchanges energy, data, and information. But what is introduced to the GRN
at its top are perhaps not signals, but signs.


There are not characters for vowels in the Hebrew alphabet. Consonants, which are just
interruptions and channelings, i.e., modulations of the breath (of life) are all that is recorded within
a Hebrew text. This fact seems to bear witness to the implicit acknowledgement by Hebrew
culture that text by itself is not connected to the breath which gives substance, in the form of
resonant sound, to speech evoked by a written text. As we know from the early chapters of
Genesis this breath was originally imparted to the inert lump of clay in human form, i.e., Adam.
Here sin as rebellion against God may be understood in terms of the metaphor of the silencing of
thought by the subversion of the authority of speech by text.

The repeatability of experimental results is commonly thought to be a perquisite for the possibility
of scientific endeavor. Perhaps all that is really required is the appearance of repeatability of
experimental results. Since the observer and the system or systems being observed, subject to
experimental probing, etc. are equally physical systems (at least this a common assumption within
conventional science), it may be possible for experimental results to not be strictly repeatable
while maintaining the appearance of the desired repeatability, provided that appropriate
compensatory adjustments to the observer(s) brain(s) take place between successive iterations of
the self-same experiment. This is related to Bohms statement that all causal relationships could
be alternatively expressed in terms of correlations.

No metaphysical description can claim greater validity than another can. This clash of
metaphysical depiction of reality, i.e., what is the case.

Speaking of the lure of the moon by anthropologists, scientists, e.g., Carl Sagan, are engaged in
a projection of a modern poetic metaphor onto the consciousness of primitive peoples. The
moon allegedly led Man to look up and notice the heavens. Contents of consciousness late
historicity are frequently seized upon in order to explicate the motivations and perceptions of
ancient or primitive peoples. On the other hand, drawing from the observation of different
species of primates is bound to be a misleading oversimplification.

The dignity of a human being is connected with several distinct considerations having to do with
the nature of subjectivity. Firstly, the individual possesses a great store of potential which,
though perhaps never utilized during the course of his human existence, is nonetheless uniquely
possessed by, and valuable to, his actually realized self. Much that is actual is not communicable
through discourse-ive, that is, discursive language. Any given individual is likely to possess
resources of happiness and spirituality not tied to visible or tangible activities or goods. Some of
the humblest persons are those possessing greatest inner peace.

Rock and so-called alternative music seem carefully crafted to encourage narcissistic delusions of

Deconstructionists are: idol smashers, nihilists, sincere searchers after truth, accepting no mere
verisimilitude thereof, skeptics, Marxists, existentialists, phenomenologists, failed philosophers,
poets painters, novelists, debunkers of poseurs and imposters, disappointed believers in the power
of transcendence disillusioned would-be metaphysicians.

If is were not a fact that some human genomes are better than others, there would be nothing for
Darwinian natural selection to work with. Of course, some individuals are genetically superior
to others! Exogamous sexual urges possess a sound evolutionary basis in protecting the
breeding population from adverse environmental change.


Although the form of ordinary human communication is largely after the fashion of an absolute,
the substance thereof is by and large metaphysical. An idiom may be thought of as a latent
metaphor expressed in the grammar current when the idioms metaphor was more or less explicit.

One may indeed mistake the intuition of the irreducibility of ones personal identity for a glimpse
of solipsistic truth. No clearer basis for the foundation exists for the distinction of good and evil,
which at the same time respects freedom of the will. Not just irreducibility of personal identity
but inevitability of ones existence is a mistaken intuition of the fact of the absolute personal
choice to exist, to descend from the realm of unconditional, personal Being. But how can being
be unconditional and be based in ones particular Self in contradistinction to the Selves through
which others enjoy their Being? Is the flaw in the metaphysics of being not the mistaking of
presence for absence, but the mistaking of one presence for another? Of course, determinate
being is necessarily limited being for determination is limitation. Negation can only be defined
through the negation of some prior or preexisting negation. There can be no negation of being
which is absolutely positive and not dependent upon some preexistent negation. Being
independent of worldhood is absolute being, that is, being independent of negation. Such being
is not system dependent and so is given without any framework for negation to operate.

The basis of absence is the gap caused by the misidentification of one form for another.

But a unified open system has an identity. Arbitrary symbols do not back react upon the

Latent complexes of meaning and logic may not mediate seemingly ordinary communications,

Because of the classical Darwinian concept of the gene as expressing but not exchanging
information with the external environment, the gene and its sequences possess arbitrary meaning.
Rather than whole genetic sequences having been selected for after the advent, this selection must
have fundamentally taken place at the time the relative molecular stabilities of all possible gene
sequences was worked out (in the vacuum between virtual base pair sequences), c.f., protein
folding solutions found by nature in 10**-12 seconds. Obviously these protein folding solutions
are found so quickly because of massively parallel computations performed by the nonlocally
connected quantum vacuum state with which the denatured protein interacts. Perhaps base pair
sequences rather than gene sequences were selected for.

Some philosophers wisely seek to mine the metaphysical and metaphorical deposits of insight
somehow laid down within the language and myth of the past 50,000 years of mans cultural
history for individual revelations of their own. These philosophers are what might be termed
archeologists of the collective human psyche. The metaphysics of the individual are largely
derived from the unconscious metaphysical assumptions inherited by collective humanity.

A combination of Zen-like wisdom and logical incoherence is to be found in Yogi Bera-isms.

So the word is always a simulacrum of itself rather than being semantically self-identical.

You dont get it. There is no it to get. So says Derrida to one of his starry-eyed admirers

to have finally reached the same epiphany as was aboriginally glimpsed and expounded by the
great philosopher.

Nostalgia versus presence in the present, e.g., music of the royal court as elegant, graceful, noble,
regal, etc. Arbitrary or only subtly culturally indicated choices of musical theme, in the case of
productions within an emergent genre, become sharper and more marked with time as the genre
develops itself. Linkage of new themes, as well as the forging of new links between old, taking
place within the developing genre are always determined via factors more or less extraneous to
what are later understood as principles of thematic and artistic unity after this genre has reached
maturity. Deconstruction is partly a back engineering of this historical process in which
chance and necessity form an indissoluble mixture. Chance, not as an absolute, but in the
sense of alterity and extraneousness with respect to predetermined and coherent lines of
deterministic development, is necessarily involved in the evolution of genre because dialectical
development is always constituted by clashes between incommensurable forces. So presence
exists prior to its being recognized upon and for a time after its advent. It is with the unfair
advantage of hindsight the thinkers further down the line of cultural evolution that these entities or
presences are identified. Upon these presences being identified it becomes possible to step
outside of their magical influence not unlike the phenomenon of abreaction in the psychoanalytic
subject.

The endless proliferation of specialized languages of various, e.g., professional, academic, etc.
eclipses is no more in effect than is the culture itself influential in its structuring of the lives of
individuals. The language of mainstream or dominant culture may be likened to a pidgin
language which comes into being piecemeal solely for getting on with the unavoidable
interdealings of various subcultures, e.g., police and local urban gang. Only the language that
one is born and raised up in gives one transparent access to both self and the other (but other
within ones own subculture/clan). Self as social, linguistic construct mediated through
subcultural acculturation. Borderline personality disorder as a disease of social self-construction
and maintenance. It has been argued against bilingual elementary education that if immigrant
children are taught English prior to having completed the process of mastering their native
tongue there results a pseudo-bilingual individual with logical and cognitive impairments caused
by his lack of possession of a native tongue or first language. Difficulties on the part of urban
ghetto black children in internalizing the dominant language and its values/norms in the public
school system are not due to cognitive or intellectual inferiority on their part but are culturally
influenced and principled individual choices (in large part).

It has been noted that groups of babies raised together spontaneously develop a language between
themselves. Was this a pattern established by evolution, which is no longer being followed?
Are mans current social arrangements so vastly at odds with the social organization that he
followed for countless millennia that he is presently unwittingly handicapped by cognitive,
psychological and social ills of his own making. This is why the study of anthropology is
perhaps the most important academic endeavor.

The following excerpt is taken from Derrida and the End of History (1999).

Derrida claims that he can use the same terms as his opponents, while denying that they carry the
same significance for him, since he is to be considered as using them under erasure (sous rature):
that is, as if they had a line crossed through them. Another way to think of this method of
operation would be to imagine that everything Derrida says is in quotation marks. Consider
the following excerpt from this aaaNotes clipboard text.

Pictorial representation is followed by abstract or stylized representation, which is in turn followed
by arbitrary representation in the form of language/writing. Abstract versus concrete is not an
exact binary opposition because however concrete experience is, it presupposes a certain amount
of processing and filtering of sensory (both internal and external) data. The concept
arbitrary does not quite succeed in being what it appears to be because arbitrary representations
are always implemented within some medium in which the medium takes on some small but not
nonexistent role in determining the meaning of the so-called arbitrary symbols transmitted
through it.
@$
We see that each entity is what it is in part by being infused with its other. This
is particularly striking in the case of representation in which there is a closed system of
complementary figure and ground. If it is true that we do not really possess genuine concepts,
then whenever a concept is referred to by its name, we should, in recognition of this fundamental
limitation of all our concepts, place the concept name within quotation marks. The lack of
clarity and distinctness of all concepts means that the binary opposition of use versus mention must
break down, and
con=
Cartesian epistemology along with it. But perhaps this vagueness of
concepts is one akin to the vagueness involved with the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle in which
the vagueness is due to the operation of a dynamism, rather than being the product of lack of
knowledge with reactivity of the system to observer interference. Because concepts perform
work within the mind of the individual, although perhaps intended to be merely descriptive in the
context of intersubjective communication, there must be some back-reaction of concepts upon the
process of thought that both a., brings them into being, and b., utilizes them for the mediation of
both infrasubjective and intersubjective thought.

The above was written by me a couple of weeks before having read the above excerpt from DEH.
The above was also written before having learned about Derridas critique of the effacement of
the signifier as an illusory phenomenon of languages transparence to the transmission of
meaning. The notion of the entity being what it is being in part dependent upon being infused
with the other could have been derived from a notion of mine from at least several years ago (long
before I had studied postmodernism/deconstruction). But it can also be more directly a
rephrasing of
au=
Derridas notion of no thing being identical with itself.

Derridas concept of the effacement of the signifier in speech as being the condition of the idea
of truth, c.f., p. 108,
cit=
On Deconstruction (1982). The fact that the signifier can never be
completely effaced means that the meaning of symbols, whether written, spoken or thought, can
never be truly arbitrary. So a pun is probably never based purely on an accidental semantic
kinship of similar sounding words and phrases themselves possessing no common etymological or
cultural-genealogical origin. A pun is not an isolated linguistic quirk but is an effect of a
systematic phenomenon of language, which must have a basis in language as such. Other
seeming coincidences or degeneracies of language and linguistic practice, if recurrent and
pervasive, are not to be explained away as accidental. Besides, such a notion of the complete
arbitrariness of symbols leaves no place for will within the truth project. Part of the collective
negotiation toward truth is direct interaction in the form of grappling, pushing, pulling, yielding
and relenting of wills rather than the transmission of data and the invoking of information. The
point here is that there is always a certain amount of this collective grappling of wills upon one
another which takes place within even the most routine or ordinary types of conversation, which
then cannot be viewed simply as ordinary, culture-specific exchanges of information.

What is all of this aiming at you might ask? Well, it is a notion which is perhaps formally akin to
but contrary in spirit to Derridas notion of the medium of language being less than transparent a
medium for the transmission of meaning. My impulse to juxtapose and comment upon the
excerpted text above was the burgeoning notion that language is just as much a reactive and
amplifying medium as it is a refractive and dissipating medium. The notion of meaning
amplification is certainly intriguing. It is akin to image or pattern recognition and enhancement.
Meaning can be amplified, filtered, concentrated, etc. through the action of its transmission
medium.
@$
Of course all of this discussion presupposes that the author has something in mind
which he seeks to utilize language as a partially fallible, partially serendipitous tool with which to
express this something.

Many years after having established a more or less fixed and successful routine of life and life
style, and stable social contexts for each of the various distinct roles that one is called upon to play
in ones life, the demand upon the brain to produce new neural interconnections has long ago
stabilized at a level much lower than that demand which was necessary in youth.

The desire to prove to oneself that something fails to transcend, is nothing other than our concept
of it.
@$
Transcendence is relative to a particular set of limitations and so transcendence always
becomes immanence again as deeper limitations are revealed. Logic is the ultimate limitation
upon reality, spatiotemporality the penultimate.

Part of what constitutes information is data. An example of this is a cipher string with far more
permutations than there are coded pieces of information. This reduces confusion of two or more
distinct bits/packets of information or the false appearance of information, e.g., hallucinations.
@$
To identify a complete set of necessary enablers or triggers, as opposed to causes of a
phenomenon in hand does not equal a causal explanation for that phenomenon. The sum of
necessary causes for some effect is only finite, which is equivalent to a sufficient cause, but only
within a preexistent system/medium.

Although what is asserted about various seminal thinkers of the Western philosophical tradition is
incorrect because, in reality directed against a straw man of its own imagination, as an abstract
theory in search of a subject matter, deconstruction seems to be a useful and instructive school of
literary/cultural criticism.

Anecdotal knowledge can be valid when it is knowledge by acquaintance (in the Russellian sense).
Subjectivity is not in its essence comprised by any objective contents and so its structure is
imposed from outside, is intersubjective and conventional. Between threshold of awareness
and certainty is the subconscious hunch.

Duality is never a simple single level structure but is fractal and multileveled. Does the
individuals self-knowledge transcend the subjective vs. objective dichotomy? In the case of
ones knowledge of oneself by acquaintance (in the Russellian sense), this knowledge is
@$
objective while not being (almost by definition) intersubjective. Perhaps the only way that we
can recover the objective = intersubjective equivalence is to achieve an understanding of the
subjective self as social construct, linguistically and culturally based.

Coincidence: if some thing previously encountered in the environment suddenly connects with
new information that is important, this thing suddenly arises in consciousness. Is context
necessary for manifestation of objects within consciousness?

@$
Clearly it is the genes themselves and not their combinations which are selected for. This is
because only an infinitesimal fraction of all possible genetic combinations have ever been
expressed and exposed to the action of natural selection.

We have all along confused resonance for presence. Resonance properties are based in the
differences in activity (which is ultimately decomposable in terms of a spectrum of frequencies of
oscillations) rather than being based upon some unitary presence and its ongoing functioning.
Presence is absolute, but resonance is merely relative.

The objectivity = intersubjectivity equation is disrupted by the simple fact that the individual and
his subjective individual consciousness has an objective existence!

The concept of metaphor presupposes that there is some pristine purely literal context from which
we metaphorically borrow. But there is not such thing as this kind of pure context, i.e.,
con-text. Every discourse is always infused with elements and structures from other discourses.

Concept: to abstract from the discursive (discourse-ive) context within which one is presently
positioned; metaphor: to abstract from another discursive context and import this abstract
structure into the present discursive context. It is instructive to meditate on the connotation of
the etymologically closely related words discourse and discursive. When one is within a given
discourse and does not have access to any other, then ones language is not merely denotative,
ones language becomes a tool which is purely ready to hand. We see that the term denotative is
dependent for its fullest sense upon what is pointed up by the complementary term connotative.
The distinction of conceptual versus metaphorical is undermined by the fact of the nonexistence of
any pure universe of discourse in which the terms of the discourse are purely denotative; each
discourse from which we borrow is itself hierarchically, but only loosely hierarchically structured.
(hierarchical in a metaphorical sense)

Did logocentrism exist prior to the development of writing? Learning to sound out words in
kindergarten. Definite versus indefinite articles. Image enhancement through memory of
neural networks. The celebrity presence phenomenon and logocentrism the stalking of
famous/attractive people. Obsessions, fetishes, phobias, diseases of logocentrism, necrophilia
even (in Fromms extended sense). Mimesis, clear and distinction conceptions . . . The basis of
all of our pretensions and illusions. Will we admit that it is grace that reality is continually
conspiring with us. . . Heideggers distinction of present to hand versus ready to hand parallels
representation vs. will. The Will to Power/Truth, Nietsche philosophers hammer destroying

progressive enrichment of the individuals cultural context.

The logocentric may be characterized as anything, which reduces the human beings sense of

There is the literal-minded notion of the properly received pronunciation of the Kings
English and there is the notion of the inevitability of the evolution of language, e.g., if nobody
every talked wrong, wed all still be speaking middle English! Lets not confuse process with
products. I am reminded of the parent who fervently if secretly wishes that their toddler would
never grow up or the child who wishes that his pet would always remain the cute puppy or kitty
that he loves. Just think of the puzzled and perhaps frustrated monsignor who encounters the
young catechism students questions: if you die of old age, then how old are you in heaven, or
worse yet, this nave gnostic questionhow does God know that theres not someone unknown
to him who is greater than him, but who just lets God think hes in charge?

Evolution explains change, but not stability, which is owing to the chemical and physical
properties of DNA, more generally, the self-organizing properties of matter. The ratio of the
number of genetic combinations capable of being expressed as proteins versus the number of
genes which cannot be in this way expressed cannot be thought to be essentially related to the
information content of expressed genes, but only to a quantity of a subclass of information.
What is the nature of this subclass? C.f., gene regulation.

Logic and science and all disciplines of knowledge which flow out of them, are heavily based upon
the old ceteris paribus principle, i.e., other things being equal, these two or more things are
equal, their identity failing only in unimportant ways. However, the ways in which identities all
ultimately fail (even where only a single entity is concerned, c.f., temporality) are truly only
unimportant with respect to a pragmatic purpose in view if we try to transcend the realm of
mere pragmatism, we find ourselves projecting out into the unknown and unknowable in ways that
cannot possibly be given solid foundation.

Regularity is a function of what we might conveniently term the boundary conditions of scale.
Is logocentrism merely a condition of the myopia of the intellect and perception?

The uncanny correspondence that seems to obtain between our perceptions of the worlds structure

underlying matrix organizes all three.


An important difference exists between dialogue between two persons and the dialogue that one

Have we all along mistaken the Will for Consciousness? Just contemplate the apparent converse
relationship of will and consciousness. Consciousness is the registering (or the capacity of this
registering) of the local upon the nonlocal, the discrete upon the continuous, etc. Will is the
converse of this the registering of the nonlocal by the local, the continuous upon the discrete, etc.
Consciousness may not exist as anything other than a representation of Will.

If personal identity is reducible, then it can be broken down into a set of discrete
elements/systems which by their interaction, produce, i.e., pro duce (pro ducere, lat.).
But interaction within a closed system possesses 1) no context and 2) back-reacts upon no
transcendent ground. It is the stimulation of time. And the reciprocal informing of this
system which stimulates ground which completes the circuit, closes the loop of consciousness
circle. Egyptian symbol of consciousness was, after all, the Ourobouros.


Each individual person is his or her own Brahman. This is what Atman = Brahman really means
not that there is only one consciousness or oversoul experiencing through each as though
individual human beings are mere terminals connected to a single network. The Atman is not
then merely some facet or reflection of the unitary, eternally preexistent Brahman, but is Brahman
itself. Brahman transcends unity and plurality. But how is this possible, you ask? Isnt
such a notion inherently contradictory. No, it is merely paradoxical. The human person,
along with its body, may be likened to a computer terminal, but the network is that individuals
eternal consciousness. The identification of consciousness with a kind of meta-sensedatum,
prevents us from understanding that consciousness is independent of what structures it because the
conditions for its structuring come from within it whenever it limits itself and interfaces with other
consciousnesses undergoing the same self limitation. When one dies, where does the soul or
mind go? Nowhere is the answer for although the mind manifests itself within space and time,
the mind does not itself occupy space and time. If the mind moves at all, it does so into and out
of time, but without moving through space. This is where the existence and dynamics of mind
seems to require that the world possess at least five distinct dimensions, but probably more as there
must be more than one avenue of approach for more than merely two distinct minds so as to
negotiate the structure of the spacetime continuum. If mind constitutes spacetime, individually
(mental space) and collectively (physical space), then there should be some kind of intimate
connection between inertiogravitation and consciousness with respect to the constituting of
spacetime.

Investigate the phenomenon of logocentrism and buzzwords, importation of foreign phrase to

present contents or can it sometimes be structural or completely contextual?

Epigram: Myth comprises analogies of transhistorical historicity in which timeless elements of
human nature work out their temporal expression.

Consciousness is not explicable or describable in terms of abstract representations because
consciousness is itself the originator and sustainer of all representations. Consciousness, rather
than being a phenomenon based in formal or deterministic, causal operations, and therefore
potentially possessing a complete or closed form description, is a manifestation of will and
volition. What we have all this time been identifying as consciousness has been merely a
misidentification of the collective impression of myriad sense data. These sense data are
themselves merely artifacts of consciousness, which collectively produce a subtle meta-sensation
or meta-perception, as it were, which is identified as literal consciousness. In fact this
meta-perception based in collective presentation of sense data to the subject is itself not the
medium of experience but is embedded and supported within this medium. Here is a classic
example of the
kwd=
reification of metaphor into concept. It may be that concepts occupy the
domain of the collective, intersubjective communications space while metaphors are conceived
and utilized by individual members of this space.

The actual process of
kwd=
reification takes place when myriad individuals become linked together
into sympathetic collectives, e.g., during culturally or historically significant events in which
presented speech is capable of producing a much greater resonance, producing an augmented
sense of significance.

Re: star trek transporter technology. It should be possible to transport any structure, which
can be instantiated. The uniqueness of the self implies that it is neither the result of an
instantiation, nor is the self-capable of itself being the subject of instantiation. If continuity is an
essential property of the selfs identity, then the self must be constituted by a system which is
necessarily open with respect to the dimension of time. It can be shown that this requirement of
temporal openness itself demands the requirement of spatial openness.

The phenomenon of insight suggests that the informing of some thought processes does not require
consciousness. Consciousness only appears to come into play when what is taking place at the
level of the subconscious proves thematically, practically, etc. relevant to the situation of the
embodied host of that consciousness or, proves to be a crucial connection of preexisting but
fragmentary knowledge. But this idea does not appear to satisfactorily account for the fact
of this constant background of what might be termed ordinary consciousness until it is realized that
the existence of a constant and ubiquitous backdrop of ordinary consciousness is altogether a
myth. The continuity of consciousness is not some fragile wisp of a thread such that, should it
be disrupted, the identity of the individual precariously supported by it should be irrevocably lost.
Nor is the continuity of consciousness to be likened to some kind of inconceivably tensile strong
connecting cord. But the continuity of consciousness, which frames the basis of individual
identity, is capable of continually being reacquired by the individual. So temporal continuity of
the individual which at first appeared to underpin his identity is itself dependent upon a continuity
of an altogether different kind that of continuity with a substratum.


Ray Kurzweils talk on C-SPAN.

No preciseness of detail in copying a persons brain will permit the duplication of his

The problem of logocentrism has deep implications for another important problem, that of
artificial intelligence. The reason that the project of formalizing the process of thought might
ultimately prove unworkable is that the formal aspects of the process of thought are purely
phenomenal and representational.

If ones recollection of ones dreams can be trusted, that is, then numerous recollection of having
refrained from the acting out of sexual or aggressive impulses might indicate that Freuds
hypothesis of dreams as mere subconscious acting out of repressed wish fulfillment may be an
oversimplification.

Part of logocentrism lies in the structuring of moments as possessing relevance beyond their span.
Can we use this projective language of eternal significance all the while remaining cognizant of
living within the structured paltritude of the moment. And is this perhaps the basis of
sentimentality the sensing of the irony of projections of culturally based human significance seen
against the backdrop of objective insignificance. Or is sentimentality based in realizing how one
links up with the rest of humanity cross-culturally and cross-historically through the universality
of basic human experiences. Like the effect of hearing a playing of the Star Spangled Banner in
the presence of 50,000 other patriotic human beings.

Creative people are able to live down the indignities and disappointments of life through the
expression of their inner conflicts which connects them to similar conflicts in fellow sufferers.
While at the same time symbolizing a healing path to their solution, resolution, or merely their
closure. Such conflicts rankle the uncreative individual who must contrive inner compensatory
perceptions and ideation which inevitably gives rise to neurotic acting out which mystifies their
more unassuming, well-adjusted peers.

epi=
Just because you are creative doesnt mean you have to do that for a living.


The morbid desire to be a fly on the wall characterizes a passive kind of necrophilia. As
progressively more advanced surveillance technology becomes widely available to the average
person, uncreative, helpless, and neurotic types will be in an ideal position to discredit all those for
whom they harbor smoldering jealousy and resentment. Humans of normal or above average
intelligence are usually easily bored with almost anything except their own narcissistic
power/glory fantasies. The repetitiveness, easy predictability, and transparency of these acts of
the narcissistic imagination, the fact that years on end we never seem to grow weary of their
endless replaying, strongly suggests that it is a very small-souled, petty and mean-spirited
component of the human psyche which tirelessly luxuriates in the show in which this little but
powerful fragment of the self is the central star.

Blindness to the mystery of existence is intimately related to the problem of logocentrism. It has
been said that the most profound metaphysical puzzle is that of the following: why is there
something rather than nothing? I say that a mystery far transcending this mystery is the
personal mystery of personal existence, i.e., my existence not the objective mystery of objective
existence. The answer to the objective mystery, if you will, is out there although we might
never happen to succeed in divining it. And it may be any number of brilliant individuals who are
born within the next thousand years, say, who may have an equal chance, if talent alone suffices, to
discover it. However, only oneself alone may arrive at the answer to the mystery of ones own
existence! It is not by virtue of some abstract feature or relation that one possesses the identity
one has. The uniqueness of ones identity quite succeeds in ruling out such a basis for personal
identity. If the crux of ones personal identity is truly eternal, then the basis of ones identity
would simply be a kind of temporal continuity of a kind of monadic substance.

Permanent reduction in the genetic diversity of a given endangered species is easily enough
explained in terms of the relative probability of a given genetic combination, i.e., genome with
respect to other probable genomes. The more a species gene pool contracts the greater the
relative probability of the occurrence of a given genetic pattern. So if concerned organizations
are to rebuild a species, it may only do so quantitatively, but not qualitatively. A reduction in
the number of individuals in a given breeding population by half results in a much greater than half
reduction in the number of possible permutations of genes within the genome. Also, the
probability of large fluctuations about the genetic mean is greatly increased since in general the
magnitude of fluctuations is proportional to one over the square root of n.
January 2012
This peculiar
mathematical property of fluctuations seems well suited to the aims of evolution as a blind,
conative dynamic endlessly exploring a rugged fitness landscape, which is itself shot
through-and-through with design.

My experience of another persons perceptions, thoughts, etc. could only be perceived to be
communicably different provided that the other persons perceptions of objects, for example, is
structured differently, i.e., the form is different although the raw feels is not perceived to be
different. Any differences, which can be perceived, can be made the subject of language which
is exclusively a system of differences. The definition of similarity implicitly presupposes
identity of experiences. It is difficult to grasp this at first because we are bewitched by the notion
of referring perception to objects. Differing perceptions of a given object/situation are rejoined
at opposite ends by virtue of different individuals possessing both a common language and a
common environment.

As wondrous as awakening in the future after many years of sleep might at first seem, ones
greatest impression would be that of isolation and loneliness.

Interactive versus representational passive learning in children. Small children have very little
context for interpreting representations.

Logocentrism is partly comprised by the
kwd=
reification, if you will, of technique (born of
necessity) into art, that is, as something which is appreciated as an end in itself. It is
self-awareness itself, which is responsible for this
kwd=
reification of technique.


Pictorial representation is followed by abstract or stylized representation, which is in turn followed
by arbitrary representation in the form of language/writing. Abstract versus concrete is not an
exact binary opposition because however concrete experience is, it presupposes a certain amount
of processing and filtering of sensory (both internal and external) data. The concept
arbitrary does not quite succeed in being what it appears to be because arbitrary representations
are always implemented within some medium in which the medium takes on some small but not
nonexistent role in determining the meaning of the so-called arbitrary symbols transmitted
through it. We see that each entity is what it is in part by being infused with its other. This is
particularly striking in the case of representation in which there is a closed system of
complementary figure and ground. If it is true that we do not really possess genuine concepts,
then whenever a concept is referred to by its name, we should, in recognition of this fundamental
limitation of all our concepts, place the concept name within quotation marks. The lack of
clarity and distinctness of all concepts means that the binary opposition of use versus mention must
breakdown, and the Cartesian epistemology along with it.

An open system should be infinite not only in quantity but also in quality. The unity of an open
system must be a transcendental unity a unity simultaneously of and within the infinite. A
basic principle generally exhibited by the evolutionary process is the freedom of parameters that
are left unbound by the dictates of natural selection.

Is it conceivable for mathematical entities to be the products of engineering? The existence of
physical media structured and organized according to mathematical principles/relationships may
be explained in terms of eternally preexistent physical media/dynamics in combination with
various type of selection mechanism, selection. But such evolutionary mechanisms would not
be available to account for mathematical order such that, if mathematical/logical order could be
shown to be in some important way contingent rather than necessary, then this order would itself
have to be viewed as artificial.

What we have here is what Heidegger might have termed a shift of the ready-to-hand to the
present-to-hand. Closed form mathematical relationships are mere descriptions, which
correspond to open form feedback structures within the quantum vacuum. Triggering reminders
are tuning parameters of morphic resonance.

But we wont over tighten the ligament so he wont get his mobility back. This is an example
of a radically ambiguous sentence radical in the sense that the alternative interpretations are
contraries.

Morphic resonance with the latent experience of progressively more dissimilar entities/minds will
reveal more abstract features of shared experience.

As quickly enough becomes apparent when someone mishears or misunderstands oneself. Is
there a type of mis-reaching or misunderstand of material for which there is no possible check,
i.e., the subjective components of the contents of ones consciousness, which are taken to be
equally contained in our communications to listeners/readers? Is it meaningful to postulate such
a component of the content of consciousness, i.e., subjectivity/

Think of all particles being excitations of the vacuum according to an analogy with thoughts,
perceptions, feelings, and other mental structures being excitations of the gray matter within our
brains.

Society and culture amplifies the already extant, but modest physical and psychological
differences between the sexes.

Amplification always increases the magnitude of noise along with signal, but also introduces
additional noise. Is there a kind of amplification in which not only additional noise is introduced
by also additional signal? Some of the additional noise introduced would inevitably be
extraneous information signals, i.e., signals from other transmitters. Noise, we might say, all
comes from the same place, whereas information signals come from distinct transmitters. This
points up the question of whether there is any nonarbitrary basis for distinguishing what is called
noise from what is called signal. Might noise arise from the incoherent interference of a
number of distinct information signals. What then arises from their coherent interference?
Here we see the necessary existential reference of an unfilled covey hole of a tabular system,
e.g., blank box in the periodic table of elements, missing top quark of quantum chromodynamic
theory, etc.


The ground of existence does not exist, but has being. It has form but not substance. The
ground of being does not itself possess being. It has neither form nor substance. But this gets
problematic through the necessary complications resulting from differentiating these concepts and
distinctions for both the unique, individual and subjective from the rational, collective and
intersubjective. The relation represented by aboutness cannot be a perfect one, but
necessarily involves a projection. Aboutness understood as a real relation not involving
projection, and hence, a certain degree of illusion, is quite paradoxically, the meaningful reference
to a thing, a correspondence with it which must touch the object without touching it. This is to
extract a definition of aboutness through the consistent observation of the terms use. What
sort of necessary confusion are we landed in when we contemplate the question, what is the term
aboutness about?

Do we have a general problem of discontinuity of meaning if we imagine that abstract terms can be
treated as substantives whenever their meaning and function become themselves the subject of
philosophical inquiry?

Do individual persons function as poles of reality just as do the poles of a function in the
complex (Argand) plane, where the solutions of the complex polynomial function approach points
along an asymptote? Can certain words in a language function in this way asymptotically, with
the poles of meaning carefully hidden within the fabric of discourse? Would this be a case of
meaning functioning according to a projection and not in terms of correspondence with essences?
C.f., works of Xavier Zubiri.

The activity of thought may be placed in an order upon a spectrum or axis according to the degree
to which this activity disrupts its own, constitutive ground. The notion of ordinary physical
objects, as opposed to ultrahigh energy subatomic particles, perhaps occupies one end of this
spectrum, the end at which there exists the least possible disruption. While on the opposite end
lies metaphysical or psychological conceptual insight, as opposed to abstract analysis where the
potential for disruption is perhaps at its greatest. Some activities of thought will interact strongly
with it, but without disrupting it in any way this is a kind of resonance of the activity of thought
with its ground. And these resonance properties are different in cases where collective thought
(a notion inadmissible in Randian thought) is concerned.

Wittgensteins revelation to us that meaning is determined through use in accordance with various
discourse-dependent language games might appear to undercut our ability to independently
philosophize. The question arises whether or not assertion loses some of its force when it is
understood as taking place solely within discourse-dependent language games. The concept of
the discourse-dependence of propositional assertion is an acknowledgement of the perhaps
metaphorical (connotative) nature of thought that is of necessity contextually bound. A common
discourse is presupposed by any meaningfully progressive activity of sociopolitical cooperation.
What would in the context of free market economic theory be termed collusion. Whereas it is
the breakdown of a lingua franca of common discourse within the sociopolitical arena which leads
to the breaking off of mutual negotiations and the falling back onto naked competition of opposed
powers. Commonality of discourse is simply an agreement, either consciously articulated or
implicit, in the way terms are to be defined. It is also constituted by the scope of reference of
various commonly held categories and the methods utilized in implementing them. And the
collective adherence to a means of arbitration even when its consequences are seemingly
inequitable , i.e., principles, but lacking these, susceptibility to particular canons of rhetoric also,
in part, constitute it.

That the various epiphenomena of language such as rhyming, meter (cadence), punning,
alliteration, etc., do not always manifest themselves exclusively as such suggests not the hidden
irrationality of language, but its hyperrationality. There is a deepening of meaning which takes
place suddenly when, noting the deeper abstract meanings of words through having contemplated
the unity of their disparate acceptations, heretofore unnoticed or thought altogether unrelated, one
glimpses the application of a single concept in two substantively distinct universes of discourse.

We forget that words refer to thoughts, if they refer at all, rather than to things. Thoughts, on
the other hand, do not refer to or correspond with anything at all, but rather cohere.

There are two kinds of tracking of a solution: via a dynamical mathematical-like relationship,
via a grasping of the solution which tenaciously holds onto it as it attempts to flee understanding.
In the first case there is correspondence between the description of the dynamical system and the
system itself; in the second case there is coherence of the feedback of the system and that of the
mind seeking to comprehend it.

The ladder of excrescent difference lies in the invention and discovery of ideas. There should be
a verbal noun that is midway on the spectrum of meaning that lies between invention and
discovery. Scaffolding of thought. Every adrenaline rush, which comes with the revelation
of insight, intimates a previously unsuspected source of creative power. It is the intimately
personal insight of self discovery that underlies the zeal for intellectual activity, is it, not the desire
for communication?

We can make a parallel distinction to that of real versus virtual particles with regard to real versus
virtual thoughts. What allows this is the quantum vacuums role as not only a reservoir of
energy but also of information.

Aquinas: that which is subject to division possesses potentiality the decomposition of the Psi in
terms of an incompatible observable, giving rise to an uncertainty of this observable and so
temporal fluctuations in this observable. Infinite regress of the finite containing an integral
description of itself and things are only completely explicable in terms of an infinite context but
multiple infinite embedding contexts are available. What makes the difference is which of these
infinite contexts actually embed the thing in question.


Forgetfulness, being easily distracted, poor sense of direction, etc. these are some of the
symptoms of being in a dream state, or at least a state of incomplete wakefulness.

Some of these symptoms of consciousness deficit or inadequate thought control are based upon an
idealization of consciousness, which are in turn based upon an implicit notion of what perfect
consciousness and perfect thought control might be like. Perhaps it can be shown that these
idealizations of consciousness and will presuppose precise determination, simultaneously, of
incompatible predicates.

Does the independence of the spin quantum number from Lorentz transformations imply that there
is no substance interaction, i.e., in the sense of producing dynamical effects, between spin and flat
spacetime.

A philosophical conundrum in mathematics is created because of the dichotomy in the English
language represented by the dual opposition, invention versus discovery. Perhaps there is
another language in which such a distinction does not exist, but wherein there is simply some word
or other which possesses a meaning midway between or inclusive of both of these notions. A
similar arbitrary ( in the sense of its language-boundedness) dual distinction is represented by the
opposition, data versus information.

What we have been saying is that reality is not arboreal but rhizomatic in its organization; it is a
multiplicity of potential unities.

One possibility, which does not appear to have been entertained because it is unthinkable within
the presently reigning scientific paradigm, is the following. At some level of physical reality,
perhaps at its very subtlest and deepest, within the core of each individual persons Being operates
a dynamic and, yes, unique, set of physical laws. These individual physical laws, according to
which this and only this particular persons dynamic being operates, must be of an altogether
distinct order form the conventionally based, intersubjective laws of classical and even quantum
physics operates.

What is the general nature of effects resulting from the filtering or interaction of unique entities
within a formalizable system?

One might say that the Universe is a kind of institution of the collective of divine persons, which
solves the problem of their isolation, but at the cost of their freedom.

The free will of the individual, the direct evidence for which is only glimpsed by the individual
himself, is the surest testimony to the fact that the individual is a coherent, open system and is
beyond any possible description. This individual is its own primum mobile. The free will of
the individual bespeaks his infinitude.

Freedom and originality are the characteristics of mind; automaticity is the defining characteristic
of body.

The operation of the free will of individuals produces a back-reaction within the quantum vacuum,
which produces nonlocal effects upon this vacuum that results in local effects upon prepared
quantum systems (describable by a particular wavefunction, Psi).

When the brain makes a transition to one global energy level to another through a virtual
transition, neural synapses act like Josephson junctions across which neural impulses quantum
mechanically tunnel. Another way to see the possibility of quantum tunneling within the brains
neural network might be via consideration of the jumping from one classical formal
logico-deductive system to another when this transition is not mediated by some metalogical
system embedding the initial and final formal systems. The brain may be viewed in this way as a
collection of switches and routing circuits for the quantum vacuum energy field out of which it is
continually being recreated (along with all other matter). When the brain thinks, it simply
connects utterly novel circuits within the vacuum field, as well as inhibiting others, which disrupts
the otherwise unified pattern of information processing within this vacuum, causing the vacuum to
recalculate a new unified dynamic state.


Existence and nonexistence are not truly dual opposite (binary) categories as both categories may
have being as such in common, e.g., mathematical one speaks of a theorem existing or not
existing. The question arises in this connection, however, as to whether Being and Nothingness
form with one another a binary opposition.

The topological fetish of substance. Continuity is of two types: the continuity of a thing with
itself through time (continuity I) and the continuity of a thing with the substrate out of which it was
constituted and is continuously sustained (continuity II). It perhaps seems a forgone conclusion
that continuity of the first type necessarily depends upon that of the second type. Change seems
to presuppose a subject of change and so continuity I is important for temporality, but, as noted
many times earlier, a closed system possesses structure, perhaps, but no function; it does not
interact with anything outside itself. All possible interactions, which a given object may have
with other entities, i.e., the outside, are prefigured by the interaction it continually has with the
objects embedding substrate, which constitutes and sustains its existence.
April 2011
What takes
place within a closed (stand-alone) system cannot make reference to anything within a domain,
ideal or real, lying beyond itself and so everything which happens inside the system is determined
by happenings within the system. What happens with the system is context-free and hence is not
about anything. Such as system lacks what is termed intentionality.

There can be no overall coherence of reality and coherence takes place within a given moment.
Each moment has a characteristic half-life. Continuous shifting of the microparadigm of
everydayness, which serves as the underlying ground of each moment, causes the moment to fall
behind in its attempt to keep up with this underlying change. The moment must maintain itself
by virtue of the same sort of activity, or, interactivity, which relates it to its ground out of which it
was originally constituted. The moment can only keep up with the transformation of its ground
by abandoning the preservation of its distinct identity. Coherence is based upon filtration of
informing signals from ground. There are two kinds of passing away therefore: dissolution and
obsolescence. And these two types of passing away are in constant opposition with one another.
This is what accounts for the transience of the moment.

There is a tension between seeing more and more the hollowness of rhetoric and glimpsing insights
into its significance, which transcends everydayness. The individual participant in the discourse
can contribute certain small innovations in discourse, in the form of new rhetorical devices.
Radical revolutions in a discourse are by definition not possible as they utterly disrupt the context
of discourse so that invention and innovation are no longer taking place within the discourse.
Discourse evolves historically and collectively as technology and society undergo their mutual
influence. Language contains conceptual structures, which no individual person placed there.
Language exhibits the thought of the collective consciousness.

Nothing is coincidental which the mind can seize upon as a missing puzzle piece of significance.

We must realize that all along what we have been calling reality has just been its manifestation.
3000 AD

Whether one is a believing Christian or a confirmed atheist, one has to admit that any thorough
examination of accounts of the life of Jesus does not reveal, under any degree of scrutiny, the least
suggestion that Jesus was not a person possessing the greatest humility, integrity, and love for his
fellow humans.

If the truth cannot be known, then what is to serve as truths stand-in or representative?

Performativity: abandoning representation, e.g., the discovery of general laws, and seeking
practices, procedures that work.

Necrophilic representations of knowledge are only possible through dissection and disruption of
the object. Anthropology participatory knowledge only possible through a disruption of the
subject. The considerable underlying influence in the aesthetics operative in the appeal of
scientific theories, philosophical tenets, religious doctrines, etc., needs to be explored more fully.

Some foreign words, e.g., gemeutlich, schmuck, etc. sound more like what they are intended
to mean to an English speaking person than do their corresponding English translations. This
observation seems to go against Saussures idea of the connection of meaning and signifier being
completely arbitrary. What can be said about systems in which categories are generated
permutationally, combinationally, but in which null categories appear? Null categories are
categories in which significance of the categories is arbitrary with respect to the system of denoted
meanings, but which seems to complete the system while more or less maintaining the systems
self-consistency. Numerous examples of this can be drawn from the fields of chemistry,
biology and particle physics.

We should see the sign as arbitrary, that is its relation with the concept signified, or the thing that
is its referent, is accidental, c.f., Guidebook to Derrida on Deconstruction.

Because Being cannot be merely a being, if follows that Being is not a unity, a finished thing.

Thought to some significant extent always appears out of context with respect to its embedding
consciousness. Though always requires additional processing, i.e., reprocessing, to take hold
of its destined meaning. Thought is always tentative, not merely a representation, but always
partly a move to galvanize the will.

All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. Are each of us here together because each
has committed the sin defining and characteristic of its being.

Cult usually interpreted and reified epiphenomena of hormonally mediated genetically
programmed responses to internal and external stimuli. Are charitable acts manifestations of the
charitable spirit (spirit of charity) or, is the notion/concept of charity an abstraction from myriad
similar actions. How are we to understand the play of difference amongst the subjective
experiences of distinct individuals. Can we interpret these differences along the lines of those
within a single individual. Filtering of signals/signs, their amplification, generalization into
abstract categories, and then their
kwd=
reification.

The clarity of a communication is determined by the level of insightfulness of the listener.
Words are only elements of a hint intended to produce a hunch in the recipient. The objection
that a proposition or argument is based on a fuzzy concept is not to effectively assert that this
concept functions inadequately. We know the future, but our lips are sealed concerning all of
its affairs except those which are still indeterminate.

Jesus sacrifice was both a symbolic and a metaphysical un-doing of the original sin of Man,
originating in turn with Lucifers proud, vainglorious rebellion against God.

The height of intellectual suggestibility is that ideas which would have never occurred to us
quickly appear inevitable after their advent.

Adaptation of stimuli, for example, reasons which dont necessarily have anything to do with
information processing. Degeneracy of data and energy with respect to information: Since
wavefunctions are an artifact of closed systems, due to the necessity of specifying their initial and
boundary conditions, Psi cannot be identified with information, unless Psi is an infinite
superposition of a continuity of eigenfunctions.

Whatever is responsible for an individuals consciousness is also responsible for all of that
individuals choices and actions. What does the rampant increase in the number of persons
possessing prescriptions for antidepressants and anti-anxiety medication suggest? Dawning
greater awareness of self which is handled in two basic and distinctly different ways depending
upon the temperament of the person as being either inner- or outer-directed.

Perceptron Convergence Theorem: The perceptron converges after a finite number of
presentations of stimulus-response pairs because the dimensionality of the finite dimensional
vector spaces of the solutions (solution space) is no greater than the collective dimensionality of
the sum total of stimulus-response pairs presented to the perceptron. Convergence of iterative
solution of transcendental functions: First expand the transcendental functions into polynomial
representations. Perceptron projects a series expansion based upon an iteratively developed rule
for calculating the coefficients of the polynomial terms. The real perceptron vector, a projection
based upon the finite set of stimulus-response pair representations, must approach the solution
vector closely enough for convergence to set in.

Use the story of how Aristotles chapter, Metaphysics, transformed into the concept by which that
term is known in modern times. This story should serve to illustrate the insidious self-organizing
properties of Logocentrism. What appears to motivate all these people with WebPages on the
Internet is not merely the expression of what they feel is unique about themselves, e.g., acting
nobly, unto death,, i.e., just for the record, cracking jokes to which only oneself is privy (self
stimulation/amplification of ones incommunicable network of private, you had to be there
associations, but in order to actually communicate to the other all of this. The Other is in
reality the parental figure.

The figure-ground duality of skepticism versus faith, truth vs. relativism, holism vs. reductionism,
liberal vs. conservative, nature vs. nurture, original understanding vs. legal positivism,
logocentrism vs. postmodernism, monist vs. pluralist, capitalist vs. socialist, etc.

It is perhaps easier to follow the author of a radical doctrine if one feels that, rather than being his
arbitrary creation, he is but its discoverer. This way the adherent or devotee of the doctrine can
imagine that both he and the guru are participating in a revelation and its dissemination which is
of greater significance than either.

A Constitution should be viewed as a kind of brake upon rampant social and political evolution.
It is not meant to be a document, which provides a once for all promulgation of limits/structure.

The contingency of environmental conditions applied in the form of natural selection to random
mutations in the human genome is belied by the individuals sense of his own coherence and
inevitability he vitally feels that his existence possesses.

The action of will is how to account for the stability and persistence of systems and structures
devoid of external foundation. Inchoate origination versus the uncovering of Platonic forms.

How novelty is generalized through permutation and combination of elements of an open system.
Does the openness of the system demand that its elements be informational conduits rather than
bits of data?

The elements of an open system can never completely belong to that system but participate at the
same time in other systems. This brings up the question of how does one distinguish two or
more open systems when, each by virtue of being open, is not self identical. However free we
like to consider ourselves with regard to our emotional, intuitive, and intellectual faculties, etc.,
there is despite this the dim recognition that we are all bound within the confines of the epoch of
history in which we reside. The latest technological developments and the playing out of
revolutionary social and cultural implications, these we certainly will not have a good grasp of,
particularly as they emerge toward the declining years of our lives. Any still later developments
are beyond the vanishing horizon of our finite sojourn on this planet.

The history of philosophy is a testament to mankinds greatest efforts to think his way out of the
wet paper bag that has kept his mind in darkness. There is a growing sense and expectancy that
the fibers of this bag are beginning to separate. Man may well regret getting what he for so long
has apparently been seeking.

Bakhtins concept of ideas as living entities is alluded to in his Problems of Dostoevskys Poetics.
Metaphor constitutes the dialogic essence of ideas. Here is the notion of essence not based in the
intrinsic nature of a self-identical entity.

It is possible for the course of development of the individual to be altered by circumstance because
myriad and in fact unlimited distinct possible unifications of the self are always open to it. This
is perhaps the basis of the freedom of the will.

Operations of a generality greater than that consciously intended by a texts author are always
revealed upon reflection of the author upon the operations by which the text has been
constructed/is being constructed (used). The author may thenceforth proceed to produce
additional text in which such higher level operations are written about (mentioned). So there
appears to be an upwardly spiraling dialectic of use and mention relating the text to the authors
reflections upon his state of mind during the texts construction. There does not appear to be any
natural termination point in this upward spiral of text/commentary use/mention.


For language to possess the capacity of functioning in the deconstructive role in which Derrida
intends to utilize it, language must possess application beyond system and beyond the realm of the
empirically knowable. Language must allow the possibility of metaphysics if it is to function as
a deconstructive tool.

Space is an outside without an inside and Time is an inside without an outside. Space and Time
require determinate and indeterminate topologies, respectively. Acting out an internal genetic
program embedded in culture and modulated by immediate circumstances, acting upon a
determinate set of data inputs. Need this process be informed by anything so nebulous in its
conception as consciousness?

Convergence and coherence, a pulling toward a center which is not secretly an imbalance between
opposing pushing forces seems to demand action at a distance and suggests the action of a kind of
urge toward a center. Nonlocal quantum connectivity should suffice to produce such effects in
systems of particles and fields.

Encountering a word in quotes causes us to pause and reflect upon the possible broader and deeper
meanings intended by the author of the text, meanings which are somehow encoded within the
underlying thrust of novelty which might be invoked by the text as a whole. The quotation
marks are a request to the reader to suspend their normal reflexes of interpretation. The
indeterminacy of the text quickly grows out of bounds as one places more and more words of the
text within quotation marks. The text is open-ended against unforeseen developments of new
metaphorical ground. But could such novel interpretations of the text which may be applied to it
in light of a shift in ground have been expressed in a different textual formulation prior to any shift
having occurred. The possibility of this would imply that cultural and social change are
epiphenomenal and have no independent informing influence upon the indeterminate matrix from
which the system of differences embodied in the text are drawn. It would still more imply that
cultural and social structures are nothing more than implicit but nonetheless determinate semiotic
structures. The collective culture as dynamic feedback structures of the interplay of cultures of
one. This interplay metastablizes itself after the fashion of the emergence of stable dynamic
structures of cellular automata. Is the stability of the identifications of meaning grounded in the
idiomatic conceptions of meaning within the collectivity of counterpoised cultures of one.

I must describe the implications for a doctrine of what might be called collective idealism of the
events taking place in a dream I recently had. I was in an unfamiliar house into which entered an
attractive young woman. This woman apparently had some business she was attending to in this
house. I suddenly become aware of the sound of a clock-radio type of alarm. Im searching all
over the house for the source of this alarm, but my head is not very clear as I search through a kind
of junk room filled with myriad somewhat antiquated looking electronic devices, complete with
tangled electrical cords. Any one of the devices could have been the source of the annoying
alarm. Im anxious to turn off this alarm so that I can then set about chatting up the woman, so
that I can, of course, hopefully get her into bed. But there was a distinct absence of the usual
physical laws operating within this dream, i.e., e.g., conservation laws, causality, etc. But what
is really lacking her is the logic of the dreamers own mind. Had I had greater presence of mind,
I could have easily identified the source of the alarm (which, of course, is really my alarm
clock!), shut it off and proceed on to more interesting scenes. You cant hear what the people are
saying as you pass around the corner, because you dont really try to listen to what they are saying.
You cant really find what youre looking for because youre not really looking systematically or
diligently enough, etc. All this points up the possibility for a viable alternative explanation for
the relationship of persons and of persons to the world in which they live.

In dreams we disconnect from the collective (vox populi) and practice the charm of making solo.
Every nemesis has a nemesis of its own. How powerful are the effects of sexual selection
relative to those of natural selection. When cultural standards and norms of what is beautiful or
attractive mutate/shift. The pattern of sexual selection may radically shift. Identity
supplementation through use of identity accessory add-ons.

From a conversation with Jennie: sexual selection becomes more important the more mobile a
society becomes after clan, family, and community barriers have broken down. Are individuals
genetic compatibility discovered/mediated through exchange of chemical pheromone messages?
Compatibility in marriage means not having to work to sustain the marriage. Maturity is
reached earlier in less complex/ advanced societies and in these societies individual personality
differences cannot be developed as freely or idiosyncratically as they can be in more advanced and
affluent cultures. Our judgements of others, especially when articulated, are always prophecies
of judgements that will come to be made of us. The only way to break the bond of Karma is to
sufficiently disrupt the continuity of the self, say, through a humbling conversion experience.

Interconvertibility of distinct phenomenological media. Is the notion of substance implied here?
What bearing does topology have on the problems of substance? The process by which
metaphors are chosen to represent, convey, enable the insight of a given poetic motion, and the
manner in which words are chosen to articulate the metaphor (as well as what it represents).
This process must be examined and observations concerning human impressionability,
suggestibility would be brought to bear on our understanding of this metaphor-creation process.

Because representation and description presupposes consciousness, the discovery of the
explanation for consciousness will actually be an invention on the part of each individual person as
he develops a new consciousness from a pre-existing one. We must distinguish between the
problem of explaining the origin of the individual consciousness from the much broader problem
of explaining the origin of consciousness as such. This distinction between consciousness and
its various manifestations points up a breach between the dual categories, individual and
collective, infrasubjective and intersubjective. C.f., Well A, on the impossibility of utilizing
induction to develop intersubjective laws of consciousness.

New interpersonal languages are constructed through a collective, dialectical process in which no
information is ever transmitted from one person to another. Are issues of currency, familiarity,
dissemination, etc., really separate from those concerned with objective truth?

The truth of the collective as constituted by a circular argument which is only persuasive to those
who, as Kuhn says, step into the circle. The circle may only be complete after passing through
multiple levels and/or contexts.


Life and Mind are examples of things in themselves, although these are only known through their
manifestations, which are always mere representations. Creation is the production of a rational
order flowing out of an irrational ground.

If the text has a kind of vital essence as though possessing a will (or mind of its own), then the
deconstructive process can move forever along an infinite downward spiral. How is the Abyss
any different from the place we now occupy? Both are infinitely deep. It is just that we use the
metaphor of the imagery of a deep chasm or hole without realizing that the infinite depth thusly
symbolized is only along a single determinate dimension. Where we are now is just as deep as
any abyss, but itself contains many more dimensions for its infinite depth! But if the text is
actually only a chimerical construct, then should there be an end in sight for its deconstruction?

Philosophers had acquired a stock of metaphors which they had learned through imitation to put to
use unreflectingly but in accordance with a number of tacitly established conventions.
Deconstruction calls into question these borrowed metaphors and their conventions of application
and so exposes the naked and indelicate backside of philosophy as mere opinion rhetorically
expressed.

Binary oppositions spoken of in Derridas theory are transcended in the operation of quantum
computers and of the mind itself.

Rather than feeling alarmed and confused by mixed emotions and impulses, I interpret the
phenomenon favorably as the intermittent crossing over to a set of distinctions cross-cutting the
old or Im already past this point and am projection onto the old sets of dual categories some
other set cutting across the old one.



Rather than dismissing truth as subjective, shall we say that it subsists at the level of the personal.
But there is always an unpredictable reaction resulting from the push to application (of a given
truth) to deeper levels of contact and interaction with alterity, both individual and collective.

New truth is always revealed through a transformation, shifting of ground ( after the manner of
paradigm shifts) through the influence, of suppressed concretion, i.e., that which we already
possessed (this remark is particularly relevant in connection with attempts to explain
consciousness) within a seamless whole (but inaccessible). But these awkward, unimportant
details of concretion were not suppressed in a fashion as systematically as they burgeon forth in
resurrected form! Behind the crumbling edifice of a paradigm in transition. And so something
altogether new is gained by the erecting of paradigms, construction of theories, and their
progressively deeper and more systematic application to that ground which originally gave birth to
the currently reigning paradigm. The attempt to explain consciousness comes from a
dissatisfaction of already being in possession of its (consciousness) secret, in the participatory
sense of will, and so from a desire to recreate consciousness within the realm of representation.
But representation always involves a choice, which throws us back upon the faculty of the will.
The attempt to find an innate representation of consciousness, apart from consciousness already
being a representation of itself, is a fundamentally misguided one.

What postmodernism is versus what postmodernism says about itself.

It is one thing to draw metaphors from pre-existing contexts. It is quite another to create a new
metaphorical ground here is where the secret of the arbitrariness of meaning and of
logocentrism is to be discovered. It is actually the arbitrariness of the act of preparing the new
metaphorical ground that underlies the notion of the arbitrariness of meaning. This
arbitrariness of new meanings is very much dependent upon the meaning of preestablished
symbols being indeterminate in the dynamic sense of greater determination of the symbols along
one direction can always be accompanied by a falling into the indeterminate along other directions,
which can only be determined at a still later time. This kind of arbitrariness of meaning is closely
related to Jacques Monods explanation for the arbitrariness of the meaning of the base pairs of the
genetic code. In this situation, meaning is always by convolution with signals not already
defined/given. The concept of operational modification versus the unconsciousness of
automaticity has relevance here. Also the brute force connection between sensation and the
vibration of nerve fibers.

But isnt the invention of a metaphor also at a deeper level to draw from an outside context? Is
each individual consciousness itself an ultimate metaphor (meaning)? But mustnt all the
material for the metaphor of self be drawn from the physical context of the body and its sensory
faculties? Is sensation really perception, in part, because of its necessity of possessing modality?

Epigram: Melody makes the mind suggestible for the Poets metaphor.

Jesus as the son of Man and as the son of God. Did Satan have a good reason to rebel? Elohim

(Elijah). Elijah never suffered physical death, but was assumed into heaven. Tell them that
it is I am who sent you. Jesus as the 2

Adam. All have fallen short of the Glory of God.
Let there be light! God spoke reality into existence. In the beginning was the Word and the
Word was with God. . . In the beginning the world was formless and void. Gods spirit
moved upon the waters of the Deep. Chaos is the father of Kronos, c.f., the relationship
between /\E and temporality. The fate of the soul is open-ended, but the spirit must always return
to the Father whom made it.

Any arbitrary thought, word, or action back-reacts upon the person bringing it forth, c.f.,

of these general features are projections, including the appearance of a determinate self.

Truth which is transcendental in the sense that we cannot make it objective because we are too

Dialogical versus universal truth. Truth as the dialogue of disputing Muses. The Sophists of
ancient Greece were noted for being able to make the worse side of an argument appear to be the
better one. Of this they were exceedingly proud.

One indeterminate ground connects to another through elaboration and development of an abstract
symbolic system which, when sufficiently fleshed out back-reacts upon the ground from which it
was originally abstracted via the finest details originally suppressed in order to form the
foundational abstract categories of the formal, symbolic system. Forms derived from
indeterminate ground destabilizes it. Poetic expressions bypass the discursive, analytical mind
which was filtered out via an evolution of the complexity and tight cohesion of the filtered
structures. Interaction of distinct spectra of nonlocally connected quantum energy fluctuations
to produce locally connected structures of superpositions.

Any sufficiently knowledgeable probing of the matrix of physical law would reveal the truth about
reality as simulation/representation. The same situation would obtain from an individuals

What possible quantum-based litmus test exists for the presence of consciousness?

Subconscious thought as thought that is enfolded or implicate (in Bohms sense) with respect to a
particular current language or symbol system. The star trek myth is too pervasive and resonant
to not influence radically the cultural and social evolution of the future. In the case of the Hans
Moravec scenario, once all of the biological components of the persons brain have been replaced
with those made of silicon, there would then seem to be no natural or absolute limit to the
functional expansion of the speed and memory capacity, say, of the silicon brain which is presently
the implementation of the persons individual consciousness.

Knowledge of the future would have to be nonlocally encoded. Casting down Lucifer: when the
stream tries to rise to the level of its source. Just as in the disintegration of the dream
protagonists world when he identifies himself with the dreamer himself. Full consciousness
results in the dissolution of form. Forms and their interplay is sustained by the energy difference
between full consciousness and the Maya or dream consciousness. Making distinctions likened
to blind groping. Using the faculty of reason to explain the origin of reason or explain away the
author of reason. Can over determination simulate two-way determination between subjective
and objective reality? Why do bad theories work?

Information has never entered the brain through the senses. Tip of the tongue phenomenon
accessing information without symbols. Is there no such thing as illusion which cannot

Replacing the brain, neuron by neuron, with quantum transistors, say, while the person remains
conscious throughout the procedure, was proposed by Hans Moravek, in his book, entitled, Mind
Children. Supposedly, by remaining conscious during the entire procedure of the substitution of
quantum computer for neural biological components permits maintenance of the persons thread
of personal identity, say, through his conscious maintenance of nonlocally connected correlations
of his quantum brain states. Of course, these nonlocal connections could not be maintained
through any causal process, i.e., could not be maintained mechanically, e.g., though application of
some kind of computer program or formally computable procedure. Certainly such a
transformation of a persons brain from biological to inorganic could not be effected entirely
from outside, i.e., while the person is asleep, anaesthetized, or otherwise unconscious.

To Searle, robots cannot be conscious, just as simulated thunderstorms can never make anyone
wet. Consider the possibility that everything is simulation. Is this a meaningful or coherent
possibility? What could it possibly be like for everything to be a simulation, as opposed to
real?

Self-plagiarizing as maintaining the faade of soul presence. Social modes of interaction as

Eigenstate of the unbound vacuum is a kind of quantum mechanical metaphor; without being

The endeavor of writing as having something to say is perhaps pursued by the novice, would-be,

than important or original subject matter to write about, but gradually, with enormous persistence
in the face of grave self-doubt, ones writing comes into being.

The creature is our earthbound self, fashioned by chance and competition for survival. This part
of ones being certainly possesses no eternal aspect and must go down to ruin with the death and

The Bible is particularly vulnerable as a text to deconstructive interpretations, especially in terms
of a center/periphery inversion type of interpretation. And this seems intentionally so due to the
density metaphor such as irony, parable, ambiguity and the presence of widely interspersed cryptic
verses which threaten to subvert any casual, prima facie reading of this text. Gnosticism
represents an ancient example of a deconstructive reading of the Bible.

Individual freedom is always enabled and facilitated within some social technological
structuring which at the same time necessarily places constraints upon the unrecognized modes of
individual acting and being which are idiosyncratic with respect to this structure. At the same
time new modes of defining the self are engendered which are largely unforeseen prior to the
advent of the new technological infrastructure.

Quaint: an artifact of an engendering context no longer in force. The common phrase,
anything is possible is to be understood as, not that any possible form already exists (or subsists)
within some Platonic realm, merely waiting to be uncovered, but that the unindividuated ground
can be made to manifest any form which can at first be imagined either individually or collectively.

It is possible to have a determinate amount of data, but it is not possible to have a determinate
amount of information. This distinction lies with the fact that data are artifacts of a closed system,
while information, of an open system.

The death of the present moment is simultaneous with the birth of the next. It is this fact which
leads us to speak of the stream of conscious experience. Because the flow of this stream is
ineluctably forward, reversible operations or transformations taking place in the conscious brain,
though necessary, perhaps, to the enabling of conscious experience, cannot of themselves be
collectively sufficient to its positive production.

An antiparticle can be consistently described as a particle travelling backwards in time. The
process of the creation of virtual particle/antiparticle pairs is a reversible process, according to
quantum mechanics. We might imagine more complex virtual structures, i.e., composite
particles, such as simple molecules, being reversibly created out of the vacuum (along with their
anti-molecules) in that they are immediately destroyed again (return to the quantum) within a
exceedingly brief period of time specified by the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle.

Perhaps virtual bosons are exchanged between both real and virtual fermions in a completely
indiscriminate fashion.


August 1999
Of course, strictly speaking, this type of creation/annihilation is only possible if the
virtual molecule/anti-molecule pair collectively constitute a spin zero particle. (It may be
possible to understand spin 0 as being spin about the particles local time axis and spin 1 being
spin about an axis oriented in some way in the 3-dimensional space to which the local time axis is
orthogonal). Such tiny systems could be consistently and exhaustively described with quantum
theory by some finite set of quantum numbers, being in this way indistinguishable from any other
system defined by the same quantum numerical set. These quantum numbers, as such, index
observables, which are conserved physical quantities. But we know that at some point
reversibility is lost and this must take place when the structure can no longer be produced from out
of the vacuum in a single go, but must be cobbled together from a number of such
vacuum-engendered particles which are to exist in some kind of bound structure maintained
through exchanges of momentum between all of those particles (which emerged from the vacuum
in a single step). This might well be due to there being no definable anti-entity with which the
entity can annihilate so as to return the pair to the quantum vacuum from which they had
originated. We may suppose that it is here that physical processes describable in terms of
nonconserved quantities come into play. Also, it is here that some of the annihilation energy
resulting from combination of an entity and its pseudo-anti-entity is thermalized, and this, even
when the entity and anti-entity are each in a pure, unmixed quantum state to begin with. Such
systems, possessing no anti-entity, would consequently possess irreversibility and hence a
definable entropy. Is it at this point that the phenomena of inertia and gravitation emerge or
become significant? Do irreversible structures participate in more than one distinct vacuum
state? Or do they just possess some kind of independence from a single vacuum state, preventing
the vacuum from anticipating an anti-structure? It is interesting to note that irreversibility
creeps into those systems that cannot be maintained by the same processes by which they were
originally engendered. It is at this very same stage where physical processes within the system
are no longer directly, but only indirectly supported by quantum vacuum processes. Does this
constitute a criterion for what are novel structures supported by the vacuum energy field, i.e.,
structures which are truly emergent with respect to the vacuum supporting their subsistence?

We do not expect nonlocal energy distributions to possess inertia or to be sources of gravitational
fields. Inertia and gravitation are phenomena based in the distribution and dynamics of the
distribution of momentum and energy within four dimensional spacetime. An individual vacuum
fluctuation possesses only an uncertain momentum energy which therefore possesses no
determinate composition of momentum energy. This is based on the hypothesis, derived from
statements of David Bohm in his work, Quantum Theory, that all causal relationships between the
expectation values of physical quantities are constituted out of correlations of fluctuations in the
values of these physical quantities. In other words, it is only coherent networks of interrelated
momentum energy fluctuations that exhibit the back-reaction of inertia, because it is only within
such coherent fluctuation networks that

The construction of squeezed states in which the momentum uncertainty along a particular axis
is decreased at the expense of increases in this uncertainty along other orthogonal axes supplies
tangible proof that the spacetime components in quantum mechanical momentum-energy
uncertainty form with one another a conserved four vector. If this is true, then it should be
possible to construct a squeezed state in which the energy uncertainty of a system is increased due
the construction of squeezed states in which a component of the 3-momentum uncertainty is
decreased.

Through a Lorenz transformation the expectation values of all components of 3-momentum can be
adjusted to zero so that the quantum uncertainties in the components of 3-momentum are wholly
constituted by the respective momentum fluctuation terms. The question arises as to whether the
timelike component of the 4-momentum can likewise be transformed away through such a
simple operation as a Lorenz transformation?
In the absence of accelerated motion or gravitational fields, the velocity of light is a universal
constant. To transform away all of a mass timelike momentum would require that one utilize a
frame of reference which is itself moving at the speed of light within some 3-hypersurface. There
is a kind of symmetry between the spacelike and timelike components of an objects momentum:
no component of a massive objects spacelike velocity may reach the speed of light and, the
objects timelike velocity can never reach zero.

Now from previous discussion we are aware that no massive body actually possesses a timelike
momentum such that its velocity through time is actually 100% of the speed of light (in vacuum).
The symmetry underlying momentum-energy would be broken, if we allowed what is permitted
in free space, namely a Lorenz transformation wherein an object is given a component of
3-velocity which, though still less than the velocity of light in free space, is nonetheless greater
than the timelike velocity of the object. The structure of spacetime within the 3-hypersurface
surrounding the object must have been altered so as to prevent the acceleration of an object to
velocities within this part of the hypersurface which are greater than the timelike velocity of
co-located objects at rest relative to the chosen coordinate system. The appearance of tidal forces
responsible for the initial acceleration of objects released in a gravitational field is easily explained
in terms of conservation of four momentum in conjunction with the spatially varying local
velocity of light.

A hollow sphere filled with electromagnetic radiation, i.e., photons, possesses an additional mass
equal to the total energy of the photons divided by the speed of light squared, solely due to the
impulsive forces and accelerations experienced by the photons as they bounce around inside the
sphere.
Of course, from the DeBroglie relation, p = h/, and the red shifting of photons moving in the
direction of the spheres motion and the blue shifting of photons moving in the direction contrary
to this motion, we can easily deduce that when the sphere is uniformly accelerated, there will result
an increasing differential of impulsive momenta developing between the red and blue shifted
photons. In other words, the instantaneous change in this momentum differential with respect to
time will correspond to a force, F = d(/\p)/dt, which will oppose the acceleration of the
photon-filled sphere. This force divided by the acceleration of the hollow sphere will, of course,
yield the effective mass of the photons. Note that it is only because the photons change direction
through interaction with (impacting against) the hollow sphere that the photons collectively
acquire an effective mass.
October 2011
This reminds us of our recurring suspicions that inertial
mass is owing, at least in half part, to the internal binding forces of matter, which contribute to the
rigidity of massive objects. Inertia is owing to an innate constriction in the bandwidth available
for conveying the instructions for how nonlocally connected quantum vacuum fields should
change in response to the application of impressed forces. This bandwidth constriction is
always in effect whenever an observer initiates a causal chain through freely willed action as such
actions cannot be included in any global wavefunction description of the system to which the
action is applied and is always absent when gravitational fields are not in play. This points up a
likely intimate connection between the distinctions, consciousness vs. freely willed agency and
inertia vs. gravitation.





Reversibility, gravitation, and inertia.



If information, as opposed to data, is always an artifact of some subjective context, then it is not by
virtue of informing in this sense to which one owes ones individuality and identity. All
communication between minds is to engage in metaphor. This is a large part of the meaning of
intersubjectivity. Metaphor is the importing of one literal context into another one in which the
contents borrowed from the imported context can be seen in greater generality. This constitutes
the primary mechanism underlying the amplification of meaning.

Kants transcendental unity of apperception cannot be a mere representation on the part of a
collective.

The fundamental paradox of ultimate Reality is that its nature is neither that of a multiplicity nor
that of a unity, unity and multiplicity being merely modes of its manifestation. The underlying
process by which the indeterminate determines itself through the manifesting of form cannot itself
be determined objectively, but only retroactively as part of a still later act of determination.

Conservation laws do not necessarily interfere with the act of informing of physical processes they
govern, provided that a critical synchronization of the changes in the components relative to one
another which together constitute the conserved quantity. The reference frame in which the
relative changes in the components are synchronized in the exactly correct manner so as to
maintain conservation, must be unique.

The dynamical of the brains functioning is not to be sought within the brain itself but in the
modulation of the brains embedding contextual medium in its self-interaction.

Local interactions of neurons in the brain determine alterations to the boundary conditions to the
nonlocally-connected vacuum field with which neurons and neuron modules are interacting.

Those who are disillusioned frequently seek to feed off the naivete of those who remain carefree.

Individualism will become more truly expressed, as the social/cultural support for its expression
will be within the cyberculture community. Individualism will no longer be so obviously tied to
conformity to local groups. An individualist will not appear to possess any visible means of
social support and all of his significant social activities will be in the form of retreats, outing,
planned hang-outs with other individuals met and courted, if you will, entirely within online
communities. Rise of the isolated counter-culturalist. Goods and services will also no longer
be purchased at locally available shops and stores, as these local facilities will only cater to the
mainstream local community. For those who still live and socialize within their immediate
environ, the Internet will continue to be seen/used merely as a school, work tool and entertainment
medium mostly geared for use by younger household members.

A shift will take place from being a member of ones local community and anonymous online to
just the reverse of this, namely, to being a member of one or many different online communities
and an anonymous dweller within a largely unknown local community.

The new, cyber technology will engender new social and cultural entities and relations, enable
novel economic and political structures while at the same time generating many new legal, social,
ethical, and logistical problems that will necessitate the creation of new institutions not yet
imagined.

The ego is the spacetime counterpart to the Self, itself lying beyond space and time. The ego is
forever banned from insight into the so-called mechanism by which it was constituted and through
which it is sustained within existence. Only a mind which transcends ego can possibly grasp the
means by which the ego is constituted.

The most which can be reasonably referred to by the label, nothing , is quite literally that from
which phenomenal things are manifested generally in a moment in which no manifestations are
present, that is, in which no phenomena are given. This ground of phenomenal manifestation is
nothing other then what the Hindus or other mystics have traditionally referred to as pure
consciousness, i.e., consciousness without an object. Somewhat paradoxically, to intend by
the term, nothing a literally absolute absence or nothingness is to take this abstraction and to
reify it!

The function of all functions cannot itself be the argument of any function that it comprises. So
does this imply that the function of all functions is not itself a determinate function.

The token-type distinction does not apply to individual persons in the sense that each individual
consciousness cannot be a token of some general type, which we might refer to as consciousness
per se, or as such. This is because consciousness is presupposed by the understanding (in the
Kantian sense) and the understanding is presupposed by application of the categories. This is
all to say that the process by which abstract categories are brought into being, generally speaking,
which is thought or thinking, cannot possess consciousness (as a general concept) as one of its
objects of thought. This is to say, moreover, that there is no category of consciousness as such.
This seems to imply that presumably distinct individual consciousnesses are not each particular
instantiations of consciousness in general. So what then makes them each and all exemplars of
consciousness unless they be one by partaking of the very same substance. But then what if the
substance of each individual consciousness is distinct and yet not an instantiation of consciousness
as such (there being no such general category)?

Mind transcends a state description. This is because it involves the unity of an indeterminate
which is inherently paradoxical.

Because temporality requires an open system, spacetime can only be a local approximation and
can possess no objective existence. For spacetime to possess an objective existence, it would
have to be an object among other objects within itself. This notion is certainly nonsensical.

There can be no consistent and complete phenomenological description of mind since mind is
presupposed by all phenomena. As far as a non-phenomenological description of mind is
concerned, it is hard to conceive of phenomena being reducible to something simpler or
prephenomenal. Apparently, phenomena are abstractions which are reducible to processes
more complex than themselves. Still less would it be conceivable how phenomena are a
manifestation of a realm more subtle and more complex than one which could be given a
phenomenological description.

The entertaining of so-called clear and distinct ideas is always the short-circuiting of a process that
was at that moment still ongoing. It is as though thinking is always the caching in fleeting
glimpses of something larger and more complex than that to which it is expediently adapted. But
we cannot justly term these fleeting glimpses partial thoughts unless we are secretly supposing
that there might exist some grander insight (such as might have been entertained by some more
brilliant and godlike incarnation of oneself) a small portion of which protruded into ones mental
space, too small to accommodate the whole. But thought only exists by remaining connected to
the dynamic imaginative ground from which it is conceived, this ground being itself open-ended.
So thought only becomes determinate through its adaptation to an environment, through its being
implemented. Determination is the result of the context back-reacting upon the interacting
kernel. So nothing in itself as a finished thing can be an actual complete determination.
There can only be complete determination with respect to a dynamical category, perhaps, which is
no more determinate than that category. There is on this view no such thing as pure thought
possessing no object or intention. For to the extent that thought loses grasp of its object, to this
extent does it evaporate into the void of mindlessness.

Endless activity is understandable because of the transcendence of all possible unity combined
with the motive towards unity. This reminds us of the necessary connection between energy
uncertainty and temporality.

The holographic model or paradigm has dominated our recent understanding of how the mind
functions. One view informed by this paradigm is that if a thought is vague, it is merely because
it has not yet been connected to its proper context. The way this is done is presumably to remove
from it all extraneous context to filter out all other thoughts with which it is confounded. This is
the idea of thought as pure insight or perception. But are the confounding, noisy thoughts
themselves not also pure just themselves confounded with other noisy thoughts. Why does
this notion of having thoughts as stemming from a mechanism of pure filtering not have a chance
of explaining anything of importance about the functioning of thought? And what makes the
difference between noise and signal, in this case, if not merely the intention of the thinker?!
Consciousness as a phenomenon associated with the continual and continuous updating of the
brains memory links. Consciousness may rather be the cause and not the effect of this process,
probably subneural, which dynamically staves off what web designers commonly refer to as link
rot.

It is common for specialists such as psychologists, anesthesiologists, and even certain members of
the recreational drug culture, as well as some mystics and philosophers, to refer to the possibility
or existence of not merely altered, but decreased/increased levels of individual consciousness.

The question arises for some philosophers of mind whether any consistent and literal meaning may
be applied to notions of any kind of shift in conscious state, if this state is considered not as a
representation within consciousness for a shift of this type would only be a shift in consciousness
in a metaphorical or more particularly, elliptical sense but as somehow a shift in consciousness
as a whole, that is, as a global shift in consciousness.

Hypothesis: when is in any eigenstate of the Hamiltonian, a superposition state of with
respect to purely time-varying eigenfunctions fully accounts for the uncertainty in the lifetime. I
was just trying to say that,

(x,t) = (0)(x) x exp(iwt) for whenever is in an eigenstate of H.

A Theory of Everything would be able to determine the true Hamiltonian, H, for any system,
including for the whole Universe. Such a theory would render any energy fluctuation term in
H, H(fluc), a mere phenomenological artifact of our previous ignorance of the correct refinement
of quantum theory, A TDE would convert the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle into a purely
epistemological principle. Such a system would possess no fundamental fluctuations because it
would possess no indeterminate outside with which it could be in the process of dynamically
exchanging energy. In such a situation, the power input to the Universe as a whole would be
identically 0.

It is hard to conceive of how anything could ever happen within such a zero power input device.
In short, It is hard to conceive how a Universe with zero power input could be rightfully said to
possess any real temporality, beside endlessly repeating patterns of interference between a closed
set of time-independent eigenfunctions.

Conscious mental states must be functions of the temporal evolution of the brain and cannot be
merely functions of the brains state-quantum or classical. Since the temporal evolution of the
brain as a quantum mechanical system is dependent upon at least a small energy uncertainty based,
in turn, upon spontaneous energy fluctuations in the vacuum, it follows that the brain cannot be
captured in a closed system description. And on account of the associated time uncertainty of the
uncertain energy with which the brain interacts, vacuum energy fluctuations originating at
different times are interacting. But here the time order of events cannot be established
according to the methods set forth by Einstein because these methods involve the use of light
beams for the measurement of space and time displacements, and the fluctuations separated by
time intervals less than the time uncertainty of the system cannot possibly be measured in this
manner. This is because the time uncertainty is defined in terms of an energy uncertainty
composed of vacuum energy fluctuations which may be nonlocally connected and may be
considered to be simultaneous with respect to any conventional method for the measurement of
time intervals. Suppose that time order is generally underpinned by such instantaneous
nonlocal interactions. This might guarantee their simultaneity, each with respect to the other.
No time measurement based upon causal mechanisms could possibly establish that one or another
of the vacuum energy fluctuations contributing to the system energy uncertainty was prior in time
to the other. Similarly, system momentum uncertainty is mediated via the collective action of
myriad vacuum momentum fluctuations which themselves establish the quantum positional
uncertainty within the system.

Might we suppose that quantum energy fluctuations may occupy the same time but not the same
spatial location, while similar momentum fluctuations may occupy the same spatial location, but
may not be simultaneous with one another? For if two given momentum fluctuations were nearly
mutually simultaneous, this would imply the existence of a two component quantum system itself
possessing maximal energy uncertainty (at the expense of the energy of the two fluctuations
themselves)? Perhaps a parallel argument could be posed against two energy fluctuations
occupying the same spatial location: momentum uncertainty would be maximized at the expense
of the momentum of the two fluctuations?

There must be other modes of determination besides the historical as history itself is never
determined with finality. There can be no final interpretation of the meaning of human existence.

Reversibility is implied by the independence of the probabilities of eigenvalues which is in turn
due to orthonormality of eigenfunctions. Is there any dependence of boundary conditions on the
energy in this type of idealized system?

Metaphor: consciousness as viewfinder. Logocentrism viewfinder consciousness.
Coming into being and passing away are two different phenomenal streams. Figure/ground
structure implies that there is not literal view finding function to mind no searchlight metaphor
works here. The operation of metaphor is metaphor.

Consciousness does not exist in any of the superposed parallel worlds predicted by Hugh Everetts
interpretation of the quantum measurement problem. This is because consciousness is probably
comprised by the interaction of these otherwise parallel worlds. It is interesting to note that
each of the worlds thusly superposed to for an Everett-style superposition is itself a classical
world.

Clearly intentionality cannot be possessed by any thing.

The polyemanationist doctrine may be arrived at through the positing of merely two simple
postulates. One, reality is too complex to be objectively unified, and two, personal identity, in the
broadest sense of individual consciousness, is an unanalyzable, irreducible concept. These two
postulates are not really so independent of one another, and it may be possible to subsume them
under a single, broader one. If, along with Kant, we consider the objective to be merely that
which can be a proper object of knowledge, then the postulate of the irreducibility of individual
consciousness means that a unified consciousness, or at least an underlying unity to all individual
consciousness qua consciousness, is not possible so that there can be no object of knowledge for
such a universal consciousness. This is all to say that the postulate of the irreducibility of
personal consciousness implies, a la Kant, that no unified object of knowledge exists, and that,
therefore, reality itself is not unified. By tying the cash value of concepts to possible or potential
experience, the concept of unity (of reality) has not cash value if there is not hypothetical universal
consciousness which can have reality itself (as a whole) as an object of its knowledge. To wit, if
there is not any objective unity of consciousness so that individual consciousnesses are
reducible/analyzable, then no Gods eye view of reality is possible. Given the omniscience of
God, this would imply a non-unified reality.

In this case, the cash value of the concept of objectivity is that less restrictive concept of
intersubjectivity. But as one suspects, somethings cash value does not necessarily exhaust that
things value in other respects. The subjective becomes ontologically prior to the intersubjective,
itself an ongoing construct from the endless negotiation between subjectivitys. It is here that we
see that perhaps it also follows that a less than unified objective reality in turn implies the
irreducibility of personal identity ( in the sense of individual consciousness). But perhaps only
within the scope of Kants Transcendental Idealism are our two postulates truly interdefinable.

By definition, or so it appears, the subjective and the intersubjective are disjoint
categories. However, the problem referred to elsewhere concerning one, the unity of
consciousness and two, the possibility of a concept of consciousness as a general category, i.e.,
of some most general property of experience suggests that these two categories are not really
disjoint. And this is because, in the absence of a general concept of consciousness, which unifies
all exemplars of consciousness, both actual and merely possible, the intersubjective falls short,
perhaps considerably, of the scope of what we term objective. The objective on our view
transcends the intersubjective, i.e., all that which individual minds could possibly agree upon
among themselves while avoiding contradiction. If the requirement is that this conventional
agreement must be in theoretical terms, then perhaps there is some application here of Godels
Incompleteness Theorem or some generalization thereof. The sticking point underlying these
speculations is that notion of the incorrigibility of subjective conscious experience. If the
individuals consciousness is never actually experienced by him as an individual subjective
experience, for example, is never noticed by him because it is always present (and so can never be
contrasted with the case of its being absent, that is during unconsciousness). This is somewhat
along the lines of Humes complaint that he could never observe his self, but only various
particular experiences of his presumptive self. So perhaps there can only be a concept of
consciousness if my individual consciousness is actually an objective feature of all of my wakeful
and self-aware experiences.

Although each being participating in the negotiated objectivity of spatiotemporal reality possesses
infinite resources, this objective realm nevertheless transcends each beings individual capacity for
apprehending this open-ended totality. The negotiated objective realm constitutes a higher order
of infinity or limitlessness/indeterminacy than that of any individual infinite being. This
negotiated, objective (intersubjective) realm, though not an object of knowledge for any possible
consciousness, is nevertheless dynamically unified through the continued mutual free
participation.

Each individual infinite being has given up the ground of its identical being and joined itself, in
reduced finite form, to the new indeterminate ground of being which collectively negotiated and
maintained.

It is interesting that the intersubjective aspects of the ego are not merely those which are shared by
all egos as such. This points up the distinction between the representational and participatory
paradigms of what constitutes knowledge. A pure representation somehow succeeds in
corresponding with its object without, as it were, touching it. Correspondences are in this way
pure, absolute, and context-free. 2010 But if representation is an act of reference such that a closed
system of representation is necessarily ruled out, that is an unlimited grounding context is required
by any such act, then . . .

Someone who has only ever seen red cannot appreciate red the way someone who can
perceive the entire visible spectrum. If Berkeleys principle of esse est percipi applies to the
nature of consciousness such that my individual consciousness is the most general property or
quality of my subjective experience, then it follows that an experience in my consciousness only
serves as mine if the experience is structured by the neural functioning of my brain. This brings
up the problem of how we determine what constitutes my brain, my experience, my consciousness.
Even though every individual may have the same consciousness this does not mean that the
experience of other individuals could be known to me.
July 2011
So if there is in some sense a of
consciousness analogous to the visible light spectrum, then a being capable of experiencing the
consciousness of many different (including hypothetical) persons would be able to have a fully
appreciation of what its like to be me than indeed I can. This would be a case of the medium of
experience of one person being at once the subject of experience for another. This points up the
possibility of a medium within a medium of experience. Here raw feels is not a simple or well
formulated notion, nor is what it feels like to be an x, since there is the possibility of w, y, z, etc.
having their own experience of x-ness.
Would distinct individual consciousnesses given the implied metaphysics of mind here be just
different dynamic modes of functioning of a single, unitary consciousness? How are forms
supposed to inhere in their respective substances if indeed there is a sharp or categorical division
between form and substance as such?

It is only through collective action of independent agents that Reality is unified. This is to say that
reality is not objectively unified in any absolute way which has a representations, but reality is
unified by virtue of the brute fact of its having a means of origination and sustenance.

Reality can only exist if it is a product, is embedded within a context, that is, if a transcendent
realm is given. There is no meaning or sense to the would be concept, unity of the transcendent.
This is because transcendence implies, or presupposes, a loss, lack, or nonapplicability of
individuality and individuation. In other words, the transcendent is not one nor is it a finite
number.

There is no reference without participation with a context. And this is why no interpretation can
ever be final or absolute, but is always open-ended and on-going.

When one contemplates the infinity of infinite beings which collectively constitute objective
reality as intersubjectivity and at once realizes that the concept of individuality is meaningless
outside of spatiotemporality, it is at this moment that one glimpses God. This God transcends
identity, that is, the duality of existence versus nonexistence, c.f.,

by Peter DeVries a minister is asked by a troubled parishioner whether God exists, and replies
God is so perfect he doesnt need to exist.

Much metaphysical confusion stems from naively treating the concepts of Being and Existence
interchangeably.

The concept of Being is the only concept which cannot be intersubjectively defined; it is not
negotiated. We see that there is a reality beyond agreement between persons.

The critics of logocentrism try to assert that Man has no concept of Being. But can such an
assertion be a coherent one? Is the most that can be asserted about, attributed to, Being merely
Existence? Are we to understand by Being a context-free existent?

We may say that Being descends and Existence rises. The conscious ego is the artifact of their
meeting. The conspiracy of the temporal and the Eternal is Man. The representations of the
collective constrains the will of the individual. Each simultaneously delimits and extends the
reach of the other.

Unique entities, if they can be compared to one another at all, this can only be done through
analogy. This reminds us of Aristotles comment that the unity of Being is analogical. So if an
entity possesses Being, it is only through what is truly unique, that is to say, irreducible and
irreproducible, not to mention irreversible, which characterizes the entity. This is akin to our
earlier assertion that an entitys existence is but a metaphor, perhaps the broadest, for that entitys
Being. And so comparing two Beings is exhausted by a comparison of metaphors. But the type
of metaphor with which we are concerned is peculiar in the sense that we do not know the original
context from which the borrowing is taken in each case.

"We do not know who we are; we do not know what we are; we do not know where this
is. It is the same for all of us. Mankind does not know anything."

There is a strong innate human tendency to think about time and duration, that is, temporality,
through the use of a spatializing metaphor. When thinking of origins and origination, secretly and
subconsciously it is supposed that all things which originate, even aboriginally, must have lain in
wait, latent or hidden, somewhere in the immanent domain of creation, if only in a dispersed or
distributed form, always having possessed the potential to converge and congeal, and this potential
merely having patiently waited its turn to be enabled by the propitious trick of the play of
conditions and circumstances, to make itself manifest. But manifestation is always connected
with a where though originating lies with a when and it is the appearance of the ground of
some novel event or thought which constitutes its arising in Time. The possible and the
necessary are indeed one, it is merely that the possible is never absolutely given but is itself
undergoing development and change. Were the necessary fixed by immutable laws of logic and
nature the contingent would . . . . . .

The vanishing, perspectivistic point and highest convergence of thinking is consciousness as an
open, unbounded system of would-be relatedness. This consciousness possesses no finality,
either in what it would intend or represent. The fact of the plurality of consciousness, rather than
its possession of determinate and predetermined modes, is a transcendent given.

April 2011
A commonly held notion by philosophers of mind, that is, of those who acknowledge the
existence of consciousness, is that it is the structure of self-consciousness that makes for individual
differences in consciousness and that prior to the development of a self/other concept and with it
self consciousness there is no individual identity uniquely associated with that consciousness.
The implication of this is that in its substance consciousness is universal though perhaps infinitely
diverse in its admissible forms qua egos.

Concepts are only suggested to us through metaphors guiding thoughts exploration, and intuition
is the insight into the connection whereby metaphors, only derivable from experience and its
contingency, point to the givenness of concepts, seemingly prefiguring experience.

Truth lies in the agreement amongst a plurality of transcendences.

The imagery of dreams and the rhyme exhibited in the peculiar unfolding of dream events, is not
trying to tell anything significant to the projective self that is participating in the dreamscape. For
everything which takes place within dreams is either a manifest threat or a beckoning. To the
immersed participant of the dream, everything is to be taken quite literally. Dreams, the
substance of which is metaphor, in the hindsight of wakeful consciousness, are for the dream
projection of the self, reactions to situations in media res, and constitute pure experience in which
there is no distinction between thought, speech, intention and act. In the dream there is no
metaphorical reality and a symbolic order is in it wholly absent. And it is for this reason that the
realm of the dream is not stable and well-behaved and in which the merest arising notion violently
ripples through its continuum.

It is the out-crystallization of the various faculties of the mind that permits the existence of
consciousness as the residuum of what is common to them all.

So we see now that it only in that which the self takes to be literally at hand and happening that
constitutes dreaming.

To the extent that thought is not at once action does it possess reality and
constitute freedom. Thought which does not disturb the conditions of its own bringing forth
determines itself.

Metaphor is characterized by what we might term as thoughness.
@#
But as-thoughness may
posit itself without a prior context in terms of which a pre-existing order shall be exhibited within
some altogether new context. For we are speaking here of an underlying aboriginal ordering
principle in accordance with which metaphor, typically manifesting itself as a borrowing and
importation of structure, either informing or describing, a transpiring within an alternative context,
but which does not essentially constitute a borrowing. Viral contamination may explain the token
appearance of life at some particular place and time, but not its aboriginal emergence as such.

Myth is an original and originating metaphor which exhibits the deeper order and drawing out its
meaning through the personification and objectification of principles within a context enhancing
the dynamics of their operation.

All order, including that of the natural one, is institutional and conventional. Much of the
perceived absolute value of an object, belief, practice, life style, etc., consists in the notable
absence of any serious competitors. Due to the mobility, both virtual and real, of the individual,
as well as that of the landscape of his local environment, valuation has become precarious and
unstable.

Gods mercy derives from the personal aspect of Deity. Divine justice from its impersonal
aspect. Examples of the impersonal aspect, taken from biblical stories are the following: the
passing over of Jewish households by the angel of death due to the simple presence of a manifest
sign. Death of 1
st
born of every species, not just of human beings. Jesus perception of power
draining from his being when the woman desirous of being healed, made contact with his garment.
Unbelievers or lukewarm believers do not believe that a personal God could condemn any person
to eternal damnation. Consider the punishment of succeeding generations for the transgressions
of their forefathers. There are three modes of deity: the personal, impersonal, and that which
mediates between the two. Jesus tried to reestablish the role of the mediator between these two
otherwise irreconcilable aspects of the divine.

That life is composed of continual death and rebirth is established by simply observing the passage
of time for the individual. When one is in temporality one is never identical with oneself.

In my relation to the other I possess four selves: my self, my idea of my self, the others idea of
me, my concept of the others idea of me. But, of course, my concept of the others idea of myself
is mediated by my concept of the self of the other, rather than his or her concept. So we see that
my relation to the other is no simple, dyadic one.

We normally think of impulses, thoughts, and emotions provoking and modulating the behavior
which is the mode of their expression. But the acting out of various behaviors likewise will
produce a number of internal, psychological states which otherwise would have provided such
bodily action to take place as tokens of their expression. In some cases, these inner states, thusly
provoked, are ancient, instinctual states which no longer spontaneously occur in modern humans.
Ecstatic dance is a notable example of this.

The manifestation of that which is unique, truly novel, does not fit at first into a pre-existing
category, but may be adapted to fit later. Only mind is capable of engendering new forms.

An entity possessing personhood is too complex to possess an identity. Identity is an attribute

If in an attempt to accelerate by mechanical means a perfectly spherical mass leads not to a change
in the location of this bodys center of mass in the direction along which we would attempt to make
it move, but instead, to a supefluid-like streaming of its composite material around the hand and
between the fingers which together would urge it forward, then despite this action having lead to a
redistribution of the bodys mass, no energy may be supposed to have been expended (is there a
question of degeneracy here?) throughout the course of this operations. Such a strange object
may be said to possess not inertia. It is hopefully obvious from what has been considered thus far
that, were it but for the absence of all internal binding forces within this mass, at least some
small acceleration of the bodys center of mass would have been effected in the direction along
which ones hand was attempting to urge it. We note the absence, in the case considered above,
of all compression forces in the direction of the bodys would-be acceleration. The
opposite-directed tension for is likewise zero, as the matter distribution was still prior to our
attempting to move it. Moreover, all shear forces within the mass were similarly zero. Now it is
but a simple and reversible linear transformation of spacetime coordinates connecting the
representation of a matter distribution as possessing pressure, energy density and stress (relating to
the presence of shear forces within the body) to another representation of this distribution as one
possessing only energy density and pressure but without any stress due to shear forces. In other
words, locally at least, shear forces can always be transformed away through an appropriate choice
of spacetime coordinates.

But it is clear that a mere change in coordinate system will have no effect whatever upon any actual
physics this is merely a somewhat informal restatement of the principle of general relativity. So
any mass distribution not possessing off-diagonal terms in its energy tensor in one system of
coordinates, may be represented within some new coordinate, may be represented within some
new coordinate system as having an energy tensor possessing such off-diagonal terms (stress
terms) and owing to the existence of shear forces within the body. Now it is the binding forces
within a body which are responsible for that body possessing forces of compression, tension, and
shear. The question which faces us now is this: might a body possess an energy tensor with only
a term with this being true for all possible transformations of the spacetime coordinates?

Is there some component of the energy tensor which cannot be, locally at least, transformed away?
Now a transformation of the spacetime coordinates can always be found which allows us to locally
transform away a bodys gravitational field.

What are we to make of the Gibbs phenomenon in the case of waves of the probability distribution
of quantum states? Might we expect extremely counter-intuitive behavior by quantum systems at
the spacetime boundaries of their system wavefunctions?

There is no absolute existence. Things always exist by subsisting within some context in which
they are embedded through being drawn from and sustained by that context. This is by virtue of
original constitution and reconstitution.

The advantage of being ones own therapist is that counsel received from oneself do not engage the

For quantum tunneling, /\x >= /\x(0) and/or (both?) /\E >= /\E(0).

Although it is a statement of the obvious, psychological states, or their contents, only become
conscious when they cannot be contained within the unconscious mind, when they cannot be
processed in terms of patters of impulses, or reducible concatenations of such patters already
stored in local memory. Using a computing analogy, when programs are not available in memory
of the stand-alone system, a metaprogram is activated which commences searching for the
necessary codes out in the network to which the stand-alone terminal has now become connected.
In other terms, when the local system does not resonate with a frequency transform of a set of
external inputs, the resonant structure of the local system must be altered through being resonantly
tuned. The system cannot, however, tune or synchronize itself; if it could have done this, it would
have already possessed these resonances on file within itself (locally). So tuning of the
resonant structure of the stand-alone system must be accomplished from outside itself through
interaction with some larger, embedding, resonant energy field.

As

David Deutsch remarked in chapter 1 of his book, The Fabric of Reality, The deeper an
explanation is, the more remote from immediate experience are the entities to which it must refer.
Consciousness is the deepest explanation to which we might turn in order to explain that
phenomenon most remote from experience paradoxically, which is consciousness itself. But here
we may be speaking of consciousness in two disparate senses. Not only is perception filtered so
as to underscore recently acquired themes, but attention and memory are also selectively
channeled in service to the themes now having the greatest currency. If the subconscious is
merely one planning step ahead of the conscious mind, then the manner in which the goals and
aims of the conscious mind are achieved will be modulated in such a way that these conscious aims
are satisfied with unintended side consequences, forming with one another a coherent pattern, the
meaning of which can perhaps be divined at a later time when ones self knowledge has developed
further.

Who is this being within me, engaged in a constant clamor for my attention? The answer must be.

Closure takes place through an open-ended process. Our concept of perfection is flawed.

Neurotic compensatory acting out is based as is all neurotic behavior upon the magical thinking
which we believe is more appropriate to the way of life of primitive man. The acting out is for
restoring some kind of balance within the individuals psyche, but produces unintended
consequences in society. In conversation, this type of compensation is more common: one tries
to offset the unintended impact of ones previous words and the conflict between ones
representation of self and what one knows of ones actual self are now simply externalized in the
contrast of contrary statements in the memory of the person to whom one makes the offsetting
statements.

Where one is not free to prevaricate concerning the facts of a case, one is always free to interpret
ones own motives, provided one has grasped the necessary multi-valency, and hence,
indeterminacy, of the motivation of all behavior.

The ideal relationship history is when ones friend is unsuccessful for a time, one lends them
support until they become successful, the person is grateful and vice versa.

Concerning success I am reminded of a bumper sticker I saw once on an early model subcompact
which read, The more you know, the less you need. So one must become successful in one of
three ways, or in admixtures of these three: one must become successful in business, one must
become successful in the affairs of the mind and spirit, or one must become successful in the
raising of a family, in admixtures or, ideally, in all three.

The paradox of the deconstructive endeavor: structure is always utilized to deconstruct the
structure. Deconstruction is not the destroying of the Tower of Babel, but merely an attempt to

source. It is the attempt to assert that the stream is always already higher than its source.

Does consciousness have trans-human potential? Is consciousness by its very nature
transcendental?

Anytime the perceptual filters are discontinuously adjusted, a conscious thought is engendered.

A compromise is frequently negotiated by couples in which one partner is noticeably more
attractive/ wealthy, etc. than the other whereby the more attractive partner is granted greater

It is only nonzero expectation values of momentum-energy which may possess gravitational
mass/inertial mass equivalency. The expectation values may always be derived from a
combination of fluctuation terms and uncertainties. The fluctuation term for the energy may be
wholly attributed to the vacuum whereas its uncertainty in its energy to the effect of the fluctuation
energy upon our energy-measuring apparatus what perfect calibration cannot eradicate (in
principle). Mass-energy is a result of an imbalance in these two energy terms. In this way
particles are seen to be not flux-stabilities in themselves, but structured alterations in the
flux-stabilities as a result of the influence, penultimately of our energy-measuring
devices-ultimately per von Neumann upon the influence of not the individual mind per se but the
consciousness fundamental in nature, which is structured through the complex system of boundary
conditions upon the quantum vacuum field being measured (in essence) constituted through the
operation of the observers brain, since the existence of the brain as a mass-energy system, would
otherwise presuppose, if identified with the observers individual consciousness, the existence of
that which its observations are potentially constituting.



There mere possibility of observation results in the reduction of the state vector. If a great enough
interlocking feedback between such possibilities comes about which then alters the statistics of the
matter and energy (including the embedding vacuum energy field), which results in a great enough
contraction/collapse in the density rate of these state vector reductions through the conversion of
disjoint states into correlated mixtures, producing an overall coherent state, then a barrier will
spontaneously be created between internal and external, i.e., a rudimentary real, as opposed to
merely hypothetical, possible observer will be engendered.

Conspiracy between perception and logic/mathematics in which the intentional object is inferred

If all topological transformations of spacetime at the quantum level may be reducible to successive
or collective symmetric and antisymmetric topological transformations grounded in virtual boson
and fermion particle exchanges, then spacetime topology would be determined by vacuum
quantum statistics. So this spacetime topology, about which general relativity is undecided,
would be determined by the quantum statistics of the quantum vacuum. On this view, gravitation
and inertia would necessitate preloaded quantum vacuum boundary conditions. So gravitation,
in particular, could no longer be treated as possessing its own, unique and universal quantum field,
but would be particular in that gravitational fields would simply be vacuum fields + particular
boundary conditions supplied for this vacuum.

Of course, the zero-point energy field is responsible for inertia since matter remains at rest, i.e.,
continues travelling at near the speed of light along the time axis, due to its energy being
continually replenished from out of the vacuum energy.

How does communication between two human brains (through the normal medium of a natural
language) affect, if at all, the mode of interaction of each respective brain with the quantum
mechanical vacuum in which each is embedded? And should there be some notable difference
between merely the passing of data signals between two mechanical neural networks versus the
exchange of actual information-based symbols?

Is every creation of the human mind really of necessity two-edged? Must our creations function
as insidious co-creators with us their inventors? Can there be no such thing as pure manifestation,
perhaps because there can be no unobserved demonstration? Does some bad effects stem from
every otherwise good action? And is the converse true as well, does some good stem from
every otherwise evilly intended action? Is this simply a variant of the yin/yang principle applied
within the moral sphere?

If only we could compose our thoughts with the instant immediacy with which we grasp the
conceptions of others. Our working a recognition vocabularies are probably an order of
magnitude different in size, e.g., 10,000 words versus, say, 100,000 or 200,000 words. Is
suggestibility a human or merely a general neural network characteristic?

Is all feedback merely an amplification of a feedback which already exists, but which is too small
to normally be observed? This might indeed follow if it were to turn out that all local (classical
physical) interactions are actually mediated by nonlocal quantum interactions. When we say that
words can only really refer to something beyond themselves as a linguistic token if they succeed
in some fashion to actually touch something beyond their incidental physical instantiation (as
sound), then we are supposing that language in principle cannot be a closed system-based
phenomenon. To say that an open system is unified is to say that the system is really closed (but
only with respect to the particular unity parameter concerned).

The world wide web and internet will someday become so extensive and integrated that you will
be able to type any arbitrary sequence of words into a search engine and call up website links (or
whatever the equivalent by then) containing somewhere within them that precise description.
This is a kind of break even point. Still later, many more than one link in the network will be
called forth by any descriptive phrase. At this point one will have to make a distinction which
will only be able to be made if one interacts with the network.

All vector quantities are conserved. If a vector quantity does not appear to be conserved, this is
only because the vector is merely a component of some higher dimensional vector quantity. For
instance, although neither time nor space are conserved physical quantities, and therefore neither
conserved nor quantized quantities, they are collectively when combined together into a spacetime
four-vector.

The velocity of light is the velocity of time. Velocity through space is always at the expense of
velocity through time and vice versa. The parameter by which this exchange of motion (between
space and time directions) is mediated, such that the law of (probability) conservation is upheld, is
that of mass. The particular manifestation of probability conservation, which is relevant here, is
that of four momentum conservation. A question which is relevant here is whether
four-momentum fluctuations are conserved. If such fluctuations are conserved, then given the
conservation of the expectation values of four momentum, it would immediately follow that the
Heisenberg uncertainties in each component of the three momentum and in the energy
themselves conjointly form a four vector of Heisenberg uncertainty in four momentum. In such a
situation we expect a generalized and relativistic statement of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Relation
of the following form. The dot product of the four momentum uncertainty vector with the
spacetime uncertainty vector must be greater than or equal to 2h/pi, i.e., >= 4h/2pi. In the absence
of bound energy, i.e., free space (where no gravitational field is present), this dot product
would be between the four momentum fluctuations of the quantum vacuum and the fluctuations
of the spacetime interval.

There is obviously a connection between quantum mechanical three momentum fluctuations and
energy fluctuations, i.e., timelike component of the four momentum fluctuations, which tends in
the right direction due to the property of bosons and fermions obeying opposite Pauli principles.

We are perhaps implying a kind of double-counting by speaking of fluctuations of both the four
momentum and the spacetime interval. It may be that there is no physical meaning in the concept
of spacetime interval fluctuations for such fluctuations would also be present within any spacetime
measuring apparatus/devices which we might attempt to measure them. We cannot directly
grapple with the space and time variables, but only indirectly, through the manipulation/use of
momentum/energy.

So how is the manipulation of momentum energy systems, e.g., matter, by other momentum
energy systems, i.e., people, not an example of the latter systems (people) pulling themselves up
by their own bootstraps. Relevant considerations here are the ghost in the machine paradigm, free
will and determinism, collapse of the wavefunction, contrast of local and nonlocal interactions,
etc.

We may think of the induction of wavefunction collapse in a quantum system through the
performance of certain measurements upon that system as in some sense the short-circuiting of
the system in question.
This may explain the effects noted of EEG measurements upon performance controlled by the
parts of the brain being measured.

The rise of the internet and the concurrent decline in television viewership is proof that most
people prefer lower bandwidth communications and more channels along with interactivity than
they do high bandwidth within a relatively paltry number of channels with programming
determined by outside agencies, i.e., no interactivity.

It is true that most intelligent people live within a world of absolutes, as this type of world requires
the least amount of metaphysical philosophical effort to support it. In fact, one might term the
world of the everyday middle class person as a state of living and being in perpetual metaphysical
free fall.

An example of the underside of the elaborate and apparently seamless tapestry which is the human
mind might be the inevitable connection between laughter and tickling. Another might be the
tendency of many people to sneeze upon emerging from indoors and suddenly into bright daylight.
Another is the tendency for a limb to become numb, i.e., to fall asleep if one assumes an
unaccustomed pose for too long a time. A similar example from the familiar world of the
personal computer might be the tendency within microsoft operating systems for an hour glass to
be evoked by any action which taxes the computers limited processor speed even those actions
not specifically taken into account in the design of that particular warning feature.

The only way that nonlocality can be consistent with special relativity would be if the
instantaneous determination of spins (for oppositely spun particles) were instantaneous not just
in the experimenters frame of reference, i.e., laboratory frame, but in all possible reference
frames!

There is a fine line existing between optimal sensitivity to the informing influence of quantum
vacuum energy fluctuations and optimal independence from said fluctuations.

Without dismissing Astrology out of hand, let us ask the question, why does this esoteric science
appear to possess some power all its own for organizing our knowledge, particularly personality
types (spatial) and the dynamics of their lifes paths (temporal)? Taking the lead from Sheldrake,
perhaps, we might hypothesize that the basis for Astrologys uncanny effectiveness may lie with
the sheer mass of creative thought by which its principles were developed and creatively applied
over the past four millennia. This would only be possible if there exists a great deal which
remains underdetermined about reality. Still more is reality a radically open system. But this
implies an unlimited amount of underdetermination for reality. So how can reality possess any
stability of structure and process, given this unlimited openness? Apparently there must be some
kind of buffering between different levels of reality, which amounts in essence to some kind
of baffle obtaining between chaos and order which nonetheless permits both informing and
back-reaction to take place between them.

Scalar waves are purely informational rather than force-mediating. Scalar waves have effects
upon an otherwise closed dynamic system which cannot be reproduced within a true, isolated
system, if only because of the mutual othogonality of scalar and vector waves.

The action of the will is not generally speaking in conflict with the mechanism of operation or the
principle of this mechanism of any process by which its dictates might be carried out. Moreover,
the operation(s) underlying the action of the will are completely free from the influence of and
unconstrained by (by definition) the details of all these particular executive mechanisms. It is this
general negative characteristic of will which suggests that its operation lies in its informing
function and the intimate relationship of consciousness and will is thus further pointed up. It is
probable that all of the would be executive operations/functions utilized by will to implement its
directives act locally, within the framework of mechanistic causality, while will itself possesses a
nonlocal nature which is apiece with the integral nature of consciousness. Coherence may take
two forms here: where boundary conditions to the local dynamism are present, reverberative,
where boundary conditions are entirely absent, this coherence is aperiodic in nature.
The introduction/insertion of boundary conditions into a dynamism where such constraints are
heretofore absent requires an informing of process, which is necessarily nonlocal. This is because
the existence of a particular topology and metric to spacetime is itself a set of boundary conditions
upon some dynamism and is probably the most general kind of boundary condition or constraint
imaginable. Also a change in boundary conditions which cannot be deterministically evolved
from a previous set must have been introduced by hand.

Somehow the Self is not commonly thought to be an authority worthy of heed and authority is
more comfortably located in the other. The greater the distance between oneself and ones
authority, the more weight will that authoritys pronouncements carry. God is a handy illustration
of this principle.

The aha experience comes about whenever an act of creativity is such that, simultaneously with
it, one glimpse some essential part of its very mechanism.

Each new generation ignores the admonitions of the previous one. The old mistakes are repeated
in slightly new variations, despite the radically altered appearances presented by the cutting
edgemost manifestations. Youth confuses style with substance and this essentially accounts for
why it does not pay better heed to the lessons based in the life experiences of elders.

There is an inherent difficulty in converting nonlocally based intuition and insight into procedural
rule based locally coded knowledge. The analogy is not with that of mere coding/decoding, but
with addressing, uploading, downloading, installing, configuring, initializing, running,
feeding-back, updating, etc.

We never entirely get over the desperate need to receive the positive parental stroke.

It is rarely if ever investigated whether there are indeed any significant behavioral differences
between the races, and still less has there been much if any research devoted to a possible
evolutionary explanation for such differences. Such difference have been perceived by many for
generations, but have seldom if ever been commented upon within polite society or within
professional or scientific publications. It is fairly easy to imagine how profound differences in
geography, for example, in which the various races evolved, perhaps quite distinct from that of
their more distant common ancestors, may have played a role in establishing those sometimes
notable differences.

A ready example might be how wide-open tundra, steppe, savanna, etc. places less premium upon
quick reaction time and more emphasis upon the ability to formulate a plan that requires more than
a few moments thinking versus the requirements that the cramped quarters of a densely vegetated
jungle or bush environment , inhabited by ferocious predators possessing lightning fast reflexes,
might demand not so much in the way of reflection and foresight as it would abilities similar to
those possessed by the predators. Note here that within the wide open environments the enemy
most natural to man would be man himself.

The present astrophysical observations indicating a general acceleration of the cosmological
expansion would seem to imply that a hyperspherical potential does, indeed, exist. This potential
possesses a gradient along the local time axes at every point within spacetime. Might
gravitational potentials ultimately derive from the local hyperspherical potential through the
peculiar interaction of massive particles, or more generally, energy in bound form, i.e., binding
energy, with this potential?

The balance maintained between the current density of 3-momentum fluctuations/exchanges and
the current density of energy fluctuations/exchanges accounts for the trend of cosmological
expansion in its 2
nd
time derivative. So if the expansion rate of the universe is accelerating
(within observable 3 dimensions), then there must be a shift in the momentum-energy distribution
of the vacuum such that the density of its 3-momentum exchanges is decreasing (bodies are
becoming less massive) and the density of its energy increasing. The dynamics of the
cosmological expansion, whether it is overall accelerating or decelerating, is attributed to the
relative strengths of the cosmological constant (the vacuum energy density) and the gravitational
energy of the universe.

The sort of force that changes the distribution of momentum-energy without altering the
magnitude of the four momentum is one with a four force magnitude of 0.



If we are not jealous, then perhaps at turns amazed and the wistful when seeing our own unrealized
potential expressed through the actions of a younger person.


What explains much of peoples seemingly arbitrary and irrational behavior is the influence of
fetish thinking. Fetish thinking is merely a symptom of a mind that is desperately grasping at
meaning.

The reducing valve theory of mind breaks down the natural distinction between thought and
perception, memory and imagination.



Any string can be interpreted so as to appear to contain a message. Any configuration of sounds,
color patches, etc. can be related to through perception so as to possess coherence and unity as an
aesthetic object.

Thought originates in a parallel distributed parameter manner, but must be communicated in a
serial or sequential translation.

Seeking an explanation for transcendence is analogous with dimly recollecting childhood or
infantile experiences and does not explain the transcendent quality of these early experiences
themselves.

In the light of greater knowledge and experience, any text of sufficient complexity may be open to
ever more novel metaphorical interpretations. The text modulates experience at a certain
metaphorical level of interpretation to shape the forging of new associations and meanings.

German Ding versus Bedingt:

What are connotations so obvious in one language that they are not even consciously realized are
in another language non-existent in relation to the relatively superficial idea denoted by words in
two languages. The connection of denotation and connotation may be otherwize arrived at
through laborious metaphysical argument and logic in the latter language and only realized
through instructive insight in the former.

Reality is in the subjective differences which are abstracted from.

Consciousness might be thought of as the ether of the mind, while the ether of spacetime may be
thought of as the consciousness of the Universe.

There is the formation of concepts which, is suggested by data and there is the converse process of
the interpretation of data in the light of concepts.

Because data admit of an unlimited number of distinct, though perhaps always related, (where a
single mind is the interpreter, at least) no particular thought is necessarily implied by any particular
set of context-free data.

Data may be abstracted from information and information yield from the interpretation of data.
There is, however, a distinction to be made with regard to information so that interpretation of data
which reveals the intended information and those interpretations of data that do not. But this
distinction presupposes that the conscious intention is always the ultimate arbiter of interpretation,
and this is not always the case.

Any conscious being only knows about its previously intended messages through an act of
self-interpretation. We, therefore, may say that the meaning of data is merely that one which
expediently fits larger meanings, and the revisionistic attribution of them, are always open in light
of some as yet undiscovered unifying, meaning-enhancing metaphor.


Phil 4941 Notes from August 1992


We learn about our own mind as well as the minds of others through (superficially) the same
manner that is, through experience.

It is not possible to know everything about the mental state that one is in although this does not
necessarily mean that is it possible for one to be mistaken about the true character of the mental
state one is in. There is a certain indefiniteness to phenomena which is associated only with their
boundedness to temporality. And not with their indefiniteness at a particular instant. In
quantum mechanics a system experiences temporal evolution due to the indefiniteness of the
wavefunction describing the system and such an indefinite wave function can only be gotten by
solving the Schrodinger wave equation when utilizing a Hamiltonian possessing a perturbation
term, itself not sharply defined. Mind seems to be formed by the process by which it acquires the
tools with which it might attempt to describe itself to itself. That component of mind, should it
existe at all, which transcend language, which his to say, all means of description. This
component of mind need not be consistent in character, structure, etc. across the variety of
minded individuals. But here face, yet again, the problem of mind being greater than any possible
definition of itself. A possible answer here is just that part of the knowledge which one has about
mind one acquires from ones own case. We should perhaps say that these components of mind
lying beyond its definition are not ineffable, only that what different mean by the same words
applied to the description of their own minds differ in ways not detectable.

But it is always possible that there is some overlap between the manner in which we know about
the mental states of others and the manner in which we know about our own mental states. In this
way, having a valid means by which to have some knowledge about the mental states of others
need not militate against the privileged access which we have of our own mental states, if only
because it is only the privileged access we have of our perceptions of the behavior of others which
gives us this partial knowledge of their mental states.

It might be the case that what is essential to identifying mental states lies not in behavior per se but
with other correlated mental states occurring later in time or recollected from memory.

Moreover, since . . . rely on. This simply doesnt follow at all, but relies on dualistic
assumptions, I believe. Does actual knowledge need to be mediated knowledge?

A satisfactory . . . of behavior. But not necessarily just those ties between the minds of others
and their behavior.

We must distinguish between taking behavior into account in a primary from merely a secondary
way. This is precisely the sort of approach which I propose to take.

Some confusion of terminology here which obscures the question at hand. It is clear that we cant
get anywhere in Philosophy of Mind if we cant give thorough definitions of mental and physical,
internal and external, etc.

Matter is simply mind in one of its infinite variety of approximations of itself by itself. What we
call mind is simply reality in its unapproximated unabstracted indissoluble unity.

We remove consciousness from experience, fragment this experience into parts and then, we are
surprised when we cant snap these parts back together to produce the indissoluble whole or unity
from which these parts were originally abstracted.

Descartes, Hume, Kant, Locke, et al., are drawn heavily from and debated with in the Philosophy
of Mind.

What makes a sensation mine rather than yours? Maybe there is only one consciousness, reduced
and channeled by the individual brain so that there is only one person with an indefinite number of
different, disconnected sets of integrated experiences. Experience presupposes integration,
however.

Kant: the self that constructs the world the transcendental ego. The self we construct is the
empirical ego. Read 1A, and p. 169 of Smart down to p. 188.

Godels results concerning truth and provability are perhaps not so surprising when one considers
that there undoubtedly is a continuity by which one book may be transformed into another through
the mere continual substitution of words, but intuitively, there does not seem to be a continuous
transformation of the ideas of one book into those of another which could possibly parallel that
based on the mere substitution of words.

I, now, here, are examples of egocentric particulars. The boundary lines of that described
by egocentric particulars are somewhat elastic.

That I refers to the one who utters is a linguistic convention which seems to presuppose the
existence of one and only one self.

I do not exist poses a conflict between the act of asserting and the content of the assertion.

Descartes holds that thought is transparent to itself, but Spinoza thought that
@$
to be aware of a
thought is to invoke another thought. Hume seemed to have similar ideas.

The correspondence idea that the thought refers to itself without the need for the I as a mediator.

Thought requires a thinker. (not necessarily) According to Quine, if a means cannot be found to
replace terms with alternative formulations then we are committed to the existence of that referred
to by these terms.

Hume uses such words as I, my, myself, etc., in order to state his argument denying the
existence of the self.

Contiguity in time, space, and necessary connection of cause and effect.

It is perhaps reasonable but not necessarily the case that all physical processes are susceptible to
scientific explanation. It is perhaps precisely where physical processes cease to be explicable
scientifically that the relative discontinuity between the mental and the physical is to be found: it
is at that level at which the individual components in terms of which explanation proceeds cease to
behave as independently existing entities.

The difficulty in saying what it means for something to be quantum mechanical, relativistic,
ergodic, etc. in no way may be taken as strong reason for believing that reality is classical,
spatiotemporally absolute, deterministic, respectively.

One is then blaming ones inability to form a definition upon the incoherence, lack of
self-consistency, etc. of the concept to which the word attempts to refer. When we encounter
physical processes which seem to determine themselves by a quantity of information greater than
that prescribed amount which we are able to possess about this process, then we may be secure in
supposing that this process possesses an integrity and wholeness which may only be truly
described as mental.

What might be considered to be mental characteristics?

Vagueness or ambiguity
Nondeterministic
Non-spatial
Temporal
Lower levels recapitulate higher
Teleological
Simultaneously interconnected
Self-representing
Self-referential or recursive

The reason why all of the Kantian categories seem to apply at the level of observation at which
classical physics operates and why each of the categories seems to be violated, one by one, at the
level where classical physics leaves off, and where quantum physics takes up, is that mind cannot
give a unified description of its own knowledge of itself (mediated) and constitutes an unmediated
knowledge of mind of itself. Therefore, the process by which mind knows what it takes to be the
external world must be essentially complementary to the way in which mind realizes (knows) itself
without mediation.

The experientially based details which were removed from the categorical description when the
category was originally abstracted are partially reconstituted when these abstract symbols are
allowed to interact and combine. But if the process of abstraction is not itself a reversible
process, then this reconstitution cannot really recoup the original ground from which the
combined descriptive/denotative elements were originally abstracted. And so a new ground is
prepared in response to the back reaction of combined symbols upon the ground that they
originally stemmed from as isolated abstract symbols (elements).

Those of us who have routinely performed tasks on a computer terminal that is connected to a
network have noticed that on some occasions the response at our terminal to requests for
information, calculations, etc. take place at a normally rapid pace, whereas on other days or times
during the day, these commands are executed with a frustratingly painful slowness, if they are
performed at all, that is. This may be understood in terms of the conservation of floating point
operations or flops which must be rationed between large multiplicities of different machines.

If the vacuum energy does not itself gravitate, then should we expect all of the general relativistic
effects, such as mass increase, length contraction, time dilation, etc., to also apply to this vacuum,
just as it normally does to real particles and fields?

In a very real sense, the unexceptional man must find himself a virgin to marry, if he is to be
satisfied that he has chosen the best possible mate for himself. Virgin in the sense that the
woman is unaware that with respect to some important trait/feature of males, she could do better.

The manner in which the self initially grapples with the newly imposed spatiotemporal limitation
is arbitrary, but becomes less so over time. To the extent that ones response is not arbitrary,
ones response is determined through alterity which has become incorporated, virus-like, into the
selfs own structure.

The human nervous system is constituted in such a way that repetition of a message or
communication intensifies and deepens, pulling progressively more elements from a penumbra of
still more indirectly related notions. It is the building up of a resonance which spreads throughout
the minds associative resources, a revitalization of the latent memory links, allowing the
activation of progressively larger and complex memory circuits, producing experiences more
complex than those associated with the subcircuits of memory originally laid down by lived
experience. This is the very opposite of the automaticity seen in mentally retarded humans or in
primates.

All of the genes which can be found in a complete human genome can be found in simpler
combinations within the other species of life sharing the planet with man. In this sense, the
human may be, in a very real sense, thought of as a chimerical being. Since by far most of the
genetic combinations have never been tried over the course of evolution on this planet, many of
these combinations being favorable relative to the present environment, and many more, by far,
relative to hypothetical environments, most of which may never be realized in the history of the
universe, there must be some principle of the engendering of order which is at once broader and
deeper than that posed by standard Darwinian natural selection. If we view evolution as being
purely adaptive, then abstract categories of fitness which we presently hold may not have any
absolute significance. Intelligence which is defined as the capacity for adaptation to
environmental change within the single lifetime of an individual of a species, is itself an adaptation
to a particular environment.
@$
This is perhaps a very disturbing notion, for it means that
environments may be possible in which intelligence is not selected for.

I find my unaccustomed surroundings just as strange as do you find yours even though each of us
is irreconcilably alien with respect to the other.

Making merely a cameo appearance in this life. Views life as merely an orientation for something
really serious.

The restrictions upon the possible posed by our conceptual framework cannot be violated without
at once some substantive and significant shift in the meaning of its categories. This perhaps
helps account for why human beings are so psychologically adaptable.

Why sin is a necessary function of losing the connection to the transcendental self. Is sin merely
a function of uncertainty and ignorance? Uncertainty of utilitarian payoff/payback ~ ignorance
of the interests of other persons/ones own (ultimate transcendental) interests? that is, ignorance
of how the other persons interests are secretly consonant with ones own deeper interests?

What transcendental beings truly possess in common is possessed in common only in a
metaphorical, specifically, an analogical sense. This common property is otherness, or alterity.
Alterity is the only category which need possess neither a formal unity, nor a common point of
reference, nor any definable continuity. And it is therefore from this that the other categories
subsist, either through conventional agreement, or through a participatory, direct mutual
grappling. That which is the nature of the other/alter self is, indeed unknowable to one.
However, ones otherness that one detects within oneself this, does one truly possess in common
with other transcendent beings for they too, like oneself, possess an irreconcilable alterity within
themselves. So we are now inquiring whether the alterity of the other is itself alter with respect
to ones own alterity. Alterity is, of its very formless (essence-less) essence, transcendental,
which is to say, divine. This brings us to the question of the alterity posed by social groups or
collectives. Could the unity possessed by alterity as such be the transcendental unity spoken of
by Kant? This unity cannot be derived but is absolute. If such a unity is in some sense living,
then we must say that here we have found the most fitting concept of God. Clearly such a
concept would possess abstractness, none greater than which can be conceived. This alterity we
also possess in common with other selves and on which we can all agree in common. We are
each of us, in similar ways, limited by, and at odds with, the various collectivities of which we
form sometimes but a small if not insignificant part. This is alterity, which we share with one
another by virtue of the otherness that each of us poses with respect to the collectives in whom we
participate, in both action and representation.

Much speculative argument within philosophy consists in the seizing upon some commonly held
or valued culturally or linguistically based assumption as a fulcrum point for the thesis being
demonstrated. One must motivate ones selection of a particular question as being a worthy
subject for discussion and debate.

Ones psyche does not usually mature in the precise direction of ones choosing so as to closely
approximate ones ideal self.

Art cane be a reflection or an influence, or both.

@$
Because of the dynamic back-reaction of language upon the poet/author, he cannot really assert
what he intends or perhaps even intend what he asserts. Since both tautologies and contradictory
utterances lead to some sensical (not nonsensical) reaction in the listener/reader, communication
never takes place within any particular theoretical/logical system. Our nervous systems respond,
millisecond by millisecond to sensory inputs, however, the mind itself, only experiences
temporally integrated structures and responds to them.

Insights embody a more general concept than the contexts in which they originally are conceived
and to which they are applied.

Nature is awaiting the opportunity to cooperate with us in the realization of projects not yet
imagined. That which is responsible for organization/structure as such itself possesses no
defined/definable pattern of organization. Does this suggest that within the indeterminate
ground from which all order originates that there is not objective distinction between actual and
potential?

different entities. The stability of extended objects is supported by Goldstone modes, c.f., H.

The paradox of information processing and the open-endedness of internality. Topological

The creativity gains wisdom, the entity gains compassion. Each has what the other organically
lacks. A symbiosis which should grow tighter as the symbiant goes through his life cycle.
There is no reason to believe that each human person does not equally represent the choice of God
to become Man. The special distinction represented by the case of Jesus is that He somehow did
not lose the connection to his infinite self through the process of becoming limited in space and
time. Perhaps original sin is the only difference between Jesus and the rest of us: having been
born of a virgin, Jesus does not receive the male sex-linked blot (Original Sin) originally
incorporated into the junk components of the human genome. Sin is indeed represented in the
Genesis story as having a viral, contaminating character. Existence rises as Being descends.
Each human is a largely unsuccessful attempt to make a Jesus.

Open-ended symbols and representation. Conventional agreement established with the
development of language or during communication. The mystery of Logos.

Hameroffs work on the mechanism of general anaesthesia supports Huxleys theory of the brain
as the reducing valve of the mind. Ecclesiastes the Spirit returns to God always; the soul returns
only if judged to be without sin. It may turn out that Aristotles theory of the Soul as being the
form of the body may not be too far afield.
September 2011
Along these lines, the body may be
conceived of as the scaffolding of the soul or the souls womb, which is akin to a template or
mold, which is broken and cast off once the substance within it has achieved its intended mature
form. A similar analogy is the New Age conception of the Earth as a school for souls. The
temporal nature of self-construction cannot be avoided (an intelligent being cannot be created
in one go) because creation via Hegels negation of the negation falls eternally short of the
true goal of the divine, namely that of engendering beings who are altogether new and hence
possessing the potential for freedom and self-determination. The indeterminate and temporality
in other words are inseparable, c.f., quantum energy uncertainty as the sole mediator of changes in
the energy states of a quantum mechanical system, c.f., Michael A. Morrison, Understanding
Quantum Mechanics. The irreversibility of temporality is in essence the nontrivial aspect of
temporal change.

What is the likely metaphorical relationship between causal
supervenience and object oriented programming?

The paradox of information processing and the open-endedness of internality. Topological
change is transcendental because of the necessary discontinuity of substance involved. Matter
has the effect of transforming the super symmetric hyper potential nonisotropic distribution of
components of the hyperspherical potential. Quantum tunneling rate competes with the pair
creation rate. Even though I am God says Jesus, I will submit to Man. It was the failure to
submit to and be lower than Man which lead to Lucifers choice to lead a rebellion in heavan.
Each believer must be able to submit to the Will of God though he has the sinking and arrogant
suspicion that he is himself a God. Multiple incommensurable grounds of Being. As you
contemplate tossing those memories in the dust bin you are given a start you realize that shes
doing this too. Most people are misunderstood/feel that they are misunderstood because they do
not understand themselves (possess a rigid enough identity concept). These individuals react to
the infringement of favorable potential identity features and character traits. Ontological

The Gods are so very interested in the struggles and exploits of mere mortals not because they
are bored up on Mt. Olympus, but because we represent handicapped versions of themselves.
Character versions, if you will.

Two myths point up the crystallization of meaning as it develops organically, dialectically and
nondeterministically within open-ended contexts: The Velveteen Rabbit and Pinocchio. A
dialectical development occurs without its ground being advantaged by all of its significant steps
being prefigured as negations awaiting a process of negating the negation. Such a development
is not constituted by the mere enabling of latent order by evolving contingent conditions.

Mental phenomena make difference to the person whose mental states they constitute, and so
cannot be mere epiphenomena. Metaphysical work is performed by the individual as a result of
his experience in the world. Use here the analogy of the SETI at home project.


What is called sanity is relative to the openness and diversity of the society. No discrete, closed
system contains information about itself, possesses no integral description of itself. And so any
open system must in a sense possess a kind of unconsciousness. How should the system
distinguish contents which emerge from this unconsciousness from those contents originating
from a genuine exterior? And can there be a true distinction of inner vs. outer for such an open
system? Moreover, is there any distinction to be made between that which is informed from that
which does the informing? Information, therefore is not inert, but dynamic, not a substantive, but
an ongoing action of informing. How are we to interpret memory in light of this fact? A
plurality of these open spaces reminds us of Leibniz monads. Given this plurality, that each
member is open but not to any of the others, without some mediation being provided wholly
from outside all, which implies the collectivity of the sum of each becoming limited in some way.
But there is not way to define that which is exterior to all since a totality is here implied which is as
yet unwarranted. And it certainly does not follow that that which is exterior to each of two must
therefore be exterior to both. So how does each become limited by something transcending it
without this something `transcending both? The answer here is if this something transcending
each is nonetheless interior to both. In this way the interiority lies with the fusing and mutual
limiting of each.



Because there are metalevels of the self/other relation, how does this complicate our understanding
of language? The self as other is itself the artifact of, mediated through, language.

Even arbitrary sequences of words call forth meaningful concepts. Logically, a tautology does not
provide any information. A tautology such as when you notice a change, you notice a change,
does, however, succeed in conveying something, if only because the listener is in a state of change
during the very brief time that it takes for him to hear the statement of the tautologous proposition.
Not only does the central nervous system respond to linguistic auditory inputs at the level of
unified phoneme complexes, i.e., integral words and phrases, but also to each individual vibration
composing individual phonemes.

Time cannot be directly integrated, that is, through the collective action of temporal functions.
Time integration must be effected in the frequency domain.

So the human mind derives information from tautologies as well as making sense of literal
contradictions. This suggests that language is essentially translogical. This is because secretly
the human mind functions in terms of three- and higher-valued logics, but must perform a
reduction to a two-valued logic when finally articulating the results/conclusions of its
higher-valued logical operations.

The critic is the failed craftsman whose central motive was once creation but which has
become that of the destruction ( or deconstruction) of the works of others more fortunate and
talented. The critic must unmask the creative artist as a poseur and dilettante.

There is no meaning in a life consumed with endlessly circulating currents of activity, never
ultimately feeding back to ground or, shall we say, to otherness, i.e., alterity.

Cantors diagonal argument and conditional convergence of infinite series. Infinite systems do

NonEuclidean Arithmetic. Infinite subseries become context sensitive when rearranged as
though they are mere finite series. When the number of equivalence class relations becomes
infinite, the induction may fail. Infinitude necessarily introduces a topological structure.
Euclidean geometry may be thought of as geometry devoid of topological structure in the sense of
having a null topological structure. These considerations lead us to pose the question: what
is non-Euclidean arithmetic?



There is some arbitrariness in every thought, action, etc. But arbitrariness cannot be
measured or quantified; it is, rather, indeterminate.

There must be independent confirmation at each step in a chain of reasoning. Causal chains
must always potentially accommodate unforeseen interference from outside.

Is consciousness always intentional? Certainly thoughts must always have an open-ended
context, i.e., reference to something outside of themselves. But this outside reference could be to
something indeterminate and therefore not an intentional object.

Metaphor and metacategory, abstract category of abstractions.

Irreducibility of the individual consciousnesses implies that each is a substance. So how
can there be different substances if distinct substances cannot differ in terms of any discernible
properties? What differs between distinct feeling substances transcends property, quality, or,
for that matter, any formal conceptions. What allows substances to be distinct then while each
being exemplars of substance as such? Discontinuity in the sense of topological separateness
may ground the distinction of substances but if we cannot then turn to qualia or property in terms
of which to take them all as exemplars of substance as such then how are we to ground the
substantial nature of substances qua substances?

All experience begins in the form of insight, as a metaphorical representation of aspects of being.
Two representations of God as the wholly other or as the ground of the Being of the self, or,
perhaps, of selfhood as such. The essence of all insights into Being is suchness.

Only the unique possesses real existence. Explore the relationships of Being, Real Existence,
Existence, and Subsistence.

Since we must always define sanity in terms of psychological stability, an important question
here is internal or external stability. External stability relates to how close one is to the center of
the mainstream. Continuing the metaphor, since the velocity of current is greatest within the
center of the stream, there is a tendency for flotsam on the periphery of the stream to drift toward
this center of greatest downstream velocity. This is a kind of stability, but it is stability due to the
operation of external forces.

Would the empirical nature of logic and mathematics imply temporality for mathematical
entities of a particular class or unclassifiable type. This is the question of the existence of
universals.

Culture as a broadcast signal. Example: the African American perspective. Conceptual
structures as similar to training wheels. Do perceptual structure have their principle value as
pedagogical devices? Or still more generally, their purpose lies with fitting open-ended insight to
a closed analytical form for application and implementation. To work entirely within a given
conceptual framework/structure is to constrain ones creative and free thought within the confines
of anothers mechanism for applying the merely practical component of his thought to the external
world. Or this conceptual framework simply constitutes a kind of structure for the triggering of
independent insight in a disciple, not for merely the reproduction of the authors original insight.

Unity of classical and quantum mechanics. Contradiction of acausality. Defy the logic
of got a life versus got no life. My human instead of I as the first person singular part of
speech. How would such a linguistic innovation affect society, culture, religion, etc.? The
supernatural as embodiment, e.g., telepathy, telekinesis, clairvoyance, premonition, etc, as applied
to the actions of ones own body. There are certainly times when we cannot predict what we will
do in a certain situation or which of two simple alternative courses of action we might decide to
take within the immediate future such as whether to return to ones home now that evening is upon
one or to remain an extra day as a welcomed visitor in the household of a friend.

Contingency is interwoven into every act of determination of the will. How are we to live
with this brute fact of human existence? Like a Tourettes Syndrome victim, we are engaging in
continual revisionism the purpose of which is to create the appearance of a seamless and whole
identity. This is a brand of Sartres Bad Faith. But perhaps there is no natural and distinct
boundary existing between the process of the motivation of ones behavior and the seemingly ad
hoc rationalization of this behavior after its commission.

Aristotle supposed that the soul was simply the form of the body (c.f., Sheldrake). What
would distinguish soul from body if the soul is a closed system, except for its interaction with the
body, itself also a closed system? There can be no real distinction between two closed systems
that interact only among themselves.

Is the brain capable of tuning into more than one individual consciousness? An
affirmative answer would seem to suggest that the brain is not the essential basis for individual
consciousness, but merely a conduit for its creativity to enter the world of space and time. Can
there be hysteresis in the vacuum energy field due to its interaction with the brains microtubule
network? Wouldnt such a hysteresis account for a kind of phantom effect upon this vacuum
state? The argument can be made that if the system cannot respond to the vacuums fluctuations,
then neither can the vacuum respond to the functioning of the system. Of course, the response of
the vacuum to the system is not in any sense the response of the vacuum as a whole. What is
meant by response of the vacuum is an alteration in the pattern of the vacuums self-interaction.

Is the brain too complex for its processes to be unified, in either a volitional or a
representational sense? The world is so vast and complex that it can manifest itself as being
unified consonant with the preferences of any individual inhabiting it. Intuitively related to the
question of personal identity. Constitution as the basis of stability.

Is probability conserved in the dispersion equation? Psis are Minkowski spacetime
solutions to Diracs equation. So gravity is considered as a mere perturbation of Minkowski
spacetime. So this theory only applies to the weak-field limit and is a linearized gravity theory.

The metric remains Minkowskian, only spatiotemporal variations in polarizability can be
represented consistently as a (merely phenomenological) variation in this metric on the
Minkowski manifold.

Are all Psi polarizable? Particle-wave duality. The wavefunction for a photon (particle) is just
its electromagnetic wave description. But what about a Psi which describes some macroscopic
system?

You keep a lot of icons on your desktop because you cant remember the hierarchical
address of a file. Clutter of conscious mind is a function of decreased accessibility of memory.
Is information about how to access memory itself stored in memory? DNA is embedded in a
morphic resonant field and is therefore context sensitive and so context dependent.

Coherent versus incoherent interacting fluctuations. Thought control manifests itself as
telepathy, i.e., intention, but not thought is readable to the telepath given the existence of a
substantive connection between him and his subject. Intention has to do with impending
execution of instructions and is mediated by local interactions. Thought has to do with the
informing of intention, the providing for its content, and is mediated via the nonlocal interactions.

There is a far greater number of organizations and associations than there are individuals to
become members within them. This notion relates to the context of divided loyalties and multiple
and inconsistent social identities. Multiple consciousnesses are coextensive with multiple
(objective?) realities? Psychic power is the glue which holds together the mind andcoheres it.

Paradox: That which possesses an identity cannot be reproduced. There is no nature,
only technology. Respiration of creation, which breathes the energy of the quantum vacuum.
Thats the only way you get anywhere, baby, you go on a head trip.

Theories establish relationships between codes and their elements, but not how the codes are
originated, codes are not originated from other codes, that is.

Reality is conventional. Personal identity is irreducible, and reality is too complex to be
unified. Natural law is derived from a composite of myriad freely-willed intentions/actions.
Since, according to our doctrine of reality being conventional and constituted out of the
transcendental collective, the classical physical behavior leaves off and the quantum behavior
takes over at the stage at which the consensus of transcendent beings breaks down, it follows that
the free will of one of these transcendent beings must be constituted through processes
transcending operation of natural law.

Existence rises and Being descends. Where they meet is in the phenomenon of Man. As
coherence of a dynamic structure increase, the role of quantum fluctuations in it decreases.

No clear distinction obtains between the literal and the metaphorical. Even the damned souls
spirit returns to the Creator that made it. The phenomena of initial incarnation and reincarnation
are substantively distinct occurrences.

We must distinguish an open system from what is merely a subsystem open to a larger,
closed system. No medium is available to carry the influence of one transcendent being upon
another. This is true simply by the definition of the transcendent as unlimited or absolute.

Human beings only appear to be separate and isolated from one another. Their
subconsciousnesses are connected and in constant interaction. This was a basic tenet of the Edgar
Casey theosophical doctrine.

I am the way, the truth and the life. Anyone who can say I is God. Universal salvation for

Making of distinctions as the channeling of insight, e.g., Oh this must be what is called X, or
This is all but Y. The result of the back reaction of erstwhile unreflectively used language.

Acquiring an appreciation for the old classics.

Truth must be multivalent. Which means that it must also be univalent. Because
consciousness is not unified, the ultimate underpinning of ones position shades into the nonverbal
and nonformalizable. So the deepest truth is established through negotiation.

Meditation upon the figure of the spiral. Leaving a plane without exploring its entire

If the thesis of the unity of the self is false, then what new interpretation must we make
concerning the role of an individual consciousness? It may well be the case that, within the realm
of Will, as opposed to Representation, the self is composed of a plurality of more or less
independent centers of volition.

Because we understand the intention of the speaker even when he breaks the rules, this shows
the independence of language from thought, that is, its role as an implement for the execution of a
command.


Although the yin/yang symbol is interpreted as representing liberation from duality, this symbol
actually represents how duality is itself a manifestation of closedness. Local causal relationships
are mediated by nonlocal causal correlations, c.f., Quantum Theory (1951) by David Bohm.

Passive perception relates to the correspondence theory of truth. What may be termed
pro-activity in human perceivers is constituted by aggressive pattern recognition involving
projection. Lyrical speech is highly elliptical but suggestive and evocative.

In the infinite state, every possibility is present and realized. Externality for some being
implies the existence of an encapsulating boundary, limiting this beings extent. Pure internality
is unbounded and infinite. The internality of finite, embodied beings which is mutually
irreconcilable or incommensurable amongst them, suggests the plurality of pure intentionality.

It is as though, in the absence of mirrors to interact with, the vacuum fluctuations have nothing to
push against. The parallel mirror configuration suppresses the density of momentum
fluctuations normal to the mirror planes. This results in a decrease in the plane-normal
component of the momentum uncertainty and hence induces the mirrors along the plane-normal
axis connecting their plane centers. This change in /\X (normal) is independent of the masses of
the mirrors. Apparently the x,y,z components of momenta are related to the timelike component
of momentum, but not to each other, at least not in flat spacetime, that is.

The arbitrariness and conventionality of meaning: we can only grasp essences through
either insight or through the making of distinctions. What about when insight consists merely in
the discovery or invention of a distinction?

Because we are constrained by approximately one billion years of evolution to not contemplate the
positive aspects of death and nonexistence, there exists a species-wide internal barrier within the
potentiality of humanistic thought.

Data are codes giving one access to information. Data relate to 3-vector components while
information relates to a 4-vector component. When something is a component of a four vector is
so of necessity. However, 3-vector components may also be 4-vector components.

When the more primitive and childlike components of the human psyche are repressed
below consciousness, there accumulates a push on the part of these repressed elements to express
themselves, usually through some abrupt breaking through of the conscious minds defenses,
which are supported by conventional, societally-defined reality.

No distinction obtains between asking and telling. Though, speech, and action are distinct
for free agents, but not for automata. Let us investigate the distinction between dissemination
and truth.

Sensory images as barriers representing the grounding-out (short-circuiting, if you will) of
thought.

Since thought does not originate with sensory perception (although it perhaps conditions
sensory perception), the halting of thought with the sensory perception occasioning it, may itself
be a kind of short circuit.

The people who were spared a fatal plunge by virtue of the last minute rebuilding of the
support structure under the town bridge may perhaps not be thought to constitute a determinate set
of persons of determinable identity.

These would merely be representations within the self that one already has knowledge of and so no
actual informing may be supposed to have taken place. Communication is not possible between
infinite or transcendent beings, in other words.

As soon as we become aware of a new kind of sin, sure enough, soon thereafter we discover this
same blot upon our own souls.

God did not intend for humans to just play along with Him and so there is no predetermined set of
rules by which life is to be pursued.

Consciousness, originating metaphor, crystallization, anatomy, etc.

Change and transformation reveal the impersonal. It is the revelation about the changes that we
see those close to us undergoing which produces a state of dismay that we might simplistically
imagine is mere hypocrisy or inconsistency of character.

Music, art, literature, etc. are kernels around which greater meaning of lifes sense of existence can

The concept of negative coherence. An example of which is sending a group email
message: although the email addresses of all is available to each, no one in the group knows what
the relationship of the other people are to the person sending the message, and so each refrains
from posting a reply to any of the others which makes reference to the original addresser.

The back-reaction of metaphorical thought to produce a revised and fictional account of the
context from which the symbols are being borrowed.

When postmodern thinkers and other critics of logocentrism assert that philosophers have
no concept of being, are they making an assertion like, philosophers have no concept of
krundlebleetz, where the word in quotes is wholly undefined? Of course not, what these critics
are really saying is any number of things like, what is called Being is secretly merely a synonym
for a more pedestrian term like thinghood or existence so that what is actually being denied or
deconstructed is a distinction and perhaps what is being intended by the assertion of no concept
of Being is that there is no positive definition of the concept after the fashion of the statement,
not this, not that, in the words of Svetaketus father who later tells Svetaketu, by the way, tat
tvam asi, i.e., thou art that. In this way the post modernist critic is saying that Being is the
example par excellence of jen se qua I know not what.
July 2011
Deconstruction then is
ideally the program of removing the linguistic and terminological camouflage so as to reveal that
two allegedly distinct and importantly related concepts are really only different metaphors for the
same thing and so really only synonymous, i.e., that their seemingly distinctive contexts are
ultimately the same. The importantly relatedness of the two concepts consists only in their
having possessed all along a common source that had been artificially obscured by language and
tradition.

But the metaphysician may counter that concepts are always derivative in the sense of being
abstract and everything is derived from Being so Being itself is not derived from anything foreign
to itself. Rather than asserting that we have no concept of Being as distinct from that of mere
existence, shall we say instead that what is called existence is the metaphor possessing the
greatest comprehension of Being. But does a metaphor necessarily point to the subsistence, if
you will, of a corresponding concept? Perhaps poetic conception (truth) is a case of metaphor for
which there is no concept. Poetic truth of some saying or aphorism means that things transpire or
behave as though the saying were literally true, without it actually being so. In a domain of
pure simulation, as-thoughness and as-ifness have to be given much greater care and consideration
than otherwise.

No, we can certainly have concepts or notion so of things which do not exist as such, examples
of which are, faith, beauty, goodness, etc. So we might say that these qualities do not exist as
such except in a conventional, poetic or pragmatic sense.

Only representations or phenomena are temporal, the origin of which exists outside of time
(each time stream) and collectively these origins constitute the common intersubjective spacetime
of all these phenomenal selves. The function of will and necessity are incompatible. The only
way God could purchase us is through his blood. This was the Judaism to Christianity paradigm
shift. God had to give up his freedom so that Man could be granted his.


Consciousness must be a language-dependent social construct. For otherwise, the
distinction between self and not-self, or other, would be merely theoretical, symbolic, and
arbitrary.

Thought and perception are the result of a partitioning of a single mental act. We necessarily
participate in all of our representations and the objective is always, in part,
kwd=
reification
perpetrated by the self. Imperfect unification creates structure and change. All objects are
resonant which implies the interaction of modes. Harmonic modes interact to produce stable
forms while anharmonic modes produce deterministic change in forms only approximately stable.

But within an open system, there can be no preestablished modal structure. It is now seen
why possibility, contingency and necessity are modal concepts. A closed system is itself an
object possessing some stability and hence a modal structure of sorts. But the interfering modes
are in this case interacting open systems unified internally rather than externally.

Consciousness is characterized by a continual change in its connection to itself and so does not
occupy any topological manifold still less does it occupy, therefore, any space, but is essentially
internal and not through any given boundaries, for this would constitute a merely contingent
internality.

Although there are many exemplars of Being, there is no general concept of it, derived through
extrapolation from the characteristics of these exemplars. For this would suggest that Being were
an accident along with other predicates modifying particular individuals. Perhaps the notion of
the external relatedness of Beings, otherwise unmediated ( than through the kind of space we are
presupposing) is contradictory or at least an incoherent notion. Here is the notion of the internal
relatedness of individuals constituting a plurality wherein no space is given because not yet
constituted through this internal relatedness.

So we are implying that plurality and multiplicity are concepts independent of the concept
of space.
The distinction between Being and Existence is exactly analogous to that of information and data.

Can there be any temporal relatedness of two or more consciousnesses? What is presupposed in
the notion of the possible plurality of consciousness?

The reality experienced by conscious entities is a social construct, not on the part of these entities
themselves, but on the part of a collective composed of transcendental beings. Each
consciousness is an open system of relations and so each has access and is embedded in a distinct
indeterminate ground from which it derives its individual temporality. Certainly there can be no
external relatedness on the part of distinct temporalities as time is, according to Kant, inner sense.

Frustration and repression lead to neurosis. Human beings are naturally borderline personality
disordered, but this tendency is normally channeled and limited through clan/tribal social
interactions. Borderline Personality Disorder is an example, as probably many psychiatric
disorders may well prove to be, a native mode of psychic functioning which arises when the
individual is forced to operate outside the design parameters of his psyche which are essentially
social in nature. This reminds us somewhat of R.D. Laings assertion that insanity was a sane
response to insane living conditions. These design parameters were fashioned by old,
long-standing environmental requirements via natural selection.

Bose condensation of He-4 is an example of the behavior of nature at a fundamental level subject

There can be no doubt that science, particularly the social sciences, are adulterated by political

Within this fluctuating spacetime is somewhat of an inconsistent phraseology as the
spacetime metric does not specify a unique spacetime topology.

Schrodingers Cat Paradox: long chain superpositions may not be possible if objects further up
the chain possess greater energy uncertainty than the link immediately preceding. Unitary
evolution does not apply to macroscopic objects. Spacetimes cannot superpose because of
ill-defined boundary conditions. No spacetime-free superpositions are admissible, in other
words.

Live and Dead cat do not constitute, however, different states of the same system. But isnt
that what is really required in order for a superposition to exist?

There are two forms of insanity: one which we might term craziness which is the
incoherent form and the other, madness, the coherent form.

It is now fairly common for persons requiring delicate and dangerous brain surgery to be lowered
in core body temperature to about 40 degrees Fahrenheit for 45 to 90 minutes during the surgical
procedure and afterwards gradually reheated to normal body temperature. During the surgery,
when the bodys core temperature is just a few degrees above freezing, heartbeat, respiration, and
brain-wave activity are totally absent. For such individuals to survive, it must be that the basis for
the continuity of personal identity lies with physical processes beneath the cellular level. This
strongly suggests that individual personal identity, as such, was never shaped, or its precursors, if
any, in dynamic interaction with, natural selection.

The individual person possesses a tripartite organization to his being which mirrors that of
the Godhead: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Each one of us is an incarnation of Divinity. You
might say that each human person is an unsuccessful attempt to make a Jesus. However, Jesus
was the only example of his incarnation in which the link between the immanent and transcendent
was not wholly severed.

There are two basic components making up the dynamics of the human being. We might
understand these components in terms of the metaphors of the radio/TV tuner and its dynamics,
that of its electronic hardware, and the electromagnetic medium containing the signals capable of
being amplified and transduced into radio and TV images.

A receiver run in reverse is a transmitter. A motor run in reverse is a generator. These are
metaphors of information and energy which, if not carefully used, lead us to the notion of action
and information being conserved quantities, subject to a reversible dynamics and continuity
equation.

When momentum is not conserved, we are dealing with action. When energy is not
conserved, we are treating of information. The corresponding pseudo-nonconserved quantities
here are force and power.

Meditation on the beating of ones own heart.

As we recollect back to progressively earlier years of childhood, we stumble upon a dwindling
number of recollections as we tun back those early years. Yet isnt experience supposed to be the
more memorable, the newer its content, and the more impressionable the mind which is its subject?
The futility of memory is as much a function of the power of attention as it is of our power of
recollection.

Vivid dreams as powerful and imaginative reconstitutions of complex patterns of memory traces
laid down during REM sleep. Dreams are usually only vividly remembered if something
awakens us while still in the grip of their illusion. Does the power of recollections, whether of
dreams of early childhood experiences, have less to do with the power of these experiences as they
originally occurred or with our power of recollection as much as it has to do with how well our
present state of mind harmonizes or resonates with the earlier occurring energy patterns within the
brain?

But people are marking our words when we least suspect it. We may have provided the one, small

Bad Philosophy: Heidegger and Gilbert Ryle are two ready examples whose

We might wonder why, if two systems of therapy are based upon contradictory premises about
human perception and motivation, how it is that both therapies have about equal success in
application to the treatment of neurotic and mentally disturbed patients? One, they are successful
for different types of people and different types of psychological disturbance. Also, although the
two therapies may possess many individual assertions of fact that contradict each other, the two
therapies as whole systems do not actually contradict one another.

Meshing of intentionality requires organization from above. The loss of limitation of

Our recognition vocabulary is very much larger than is our working vocabulary and words start out
as only recognized and then through use of these words the recognition of persons in ones social
context causes individual and collective behavior which fixes the meaning of the words in the
persons working vocabulary.

Sour grapes as a refusal to acknowledge contingencys interweaving into the fabric of ones

literally determined, it is nevertheless determined in an analogical sense. At least this is how we
attempt to subdue the threat of radical contingency which threatens to undermine the integrity of
the ego and, hence, its sovereignty.

Intelligence is itself an adaptation. No general concept of intelligence is on account of this
possible. But is this really a coherent possibility?

A tissue of private associations bearing the superficial resemblance to an objective reference, and
which we believe we share with our fellow humans. Intersubjectivity functions so well as a kind
of cash value of objectivity that the logic and mechanism of equating the two, i.e.,
intersubjectivity = objectivity must surely hold serious implications for the concept of universal or
transcendental mind, not merely as a concept derived from abstract thought, c.f., the general
concept of how abstract thought is generated cannot itself be an abstract thought in terms of some
product/output of a temporally based, physical process of abstraction.

So intelligence is not merely a capacity to adapt to change. The prefix post refers to a pervasive
apostasy within modern culture.

The concept of universal wavefunction is inconsistent with relativity theory. X(Psi(x,t)) =
X; T(Psi(x,t)) = T.

No such thing as an object at rest is treated within relativity theory. This is also a perhaps more
essential truth of the quantum theory.

Only if time is understood as a rate rather than a dimension like an extra spatial dimension can the
idea of a spatiotemporal variations in spacetime, i.e., gravity waves, be rendered self-consistent or

The appearance of infinite quantities, such as mass, length, time, density, etc., points to the

The paradox of determination consists in this: it is simultaneously under- and

Inertia may perhaps be explained in a more unified manner as stemming from resistance to

Madness and Genius are probably both characterized by the self-same feeling of prepossession in
the epiphany of an emergent but inevitable-seeming notion. Weve all heard the expression of
great minds thinking alike. The question as to whether great theories are discovered of
invented appears dependent upon the amount of beauty and elegance possessed by the theory
under consideration: the theory of general relativity, for instance, appears to many theoretical
physicists to have been a great discovery, the so-called standard model of particle physics, to have
been a great theoretical invention or construct. Another important factor in deciding this issue
with respect to a particular theory: was the theory largely the creation of a single person within a
relatively short span, or was it largely a collaborative effort taking
place over an extended period.

What is the nature of supervenience, more particularly, causal supervenience.

One perhaps only needs to have studied the great philosophers in order to possess a wealth of

Those who are adept in the use of metaphor are continually misunderstood by the more

system-theoretic reasons, or are there reasons for its effectiveness which are peculiar to itself?
Astrology is not effective due to any objective identities obtaining between changing abstract,
zodiacal relationships of the heavenly bodies to evolving relationships within the many spheres of
ones subjective existence, such as to ones social relationships. Rather Astrology becomes
effective in its individual practice through a two step process of the identification, as opposed to
identity, of these zodiacal relationships to aspects of ones predicament (by the astrologer) which
are only adapted to ones unique situation by the individual himself if one possesses sufficient
creativity and imagination in not so much the recognition of parallels as the determining of
subjective elements after a fashion which exhibits such parallels with respect to the astrological
interpretive structures.

Interpretation as inter pre tation. Etymological analysis is capable of pointing up the linguistic

Language is the body of the mind, intuition, its soul. The knock one does not hear is the knock

No Thing is the ground which is prior to all things and so is everything in the sense of being
the origin of all things. One must become no thing in order to achieve union with the ground
from which all dual opposite forms arise (things). To transcend means to become no thing.
Ground is transcendent in this specific sense, i.e., it is no thing itself. Plurality presupposes
thinghood which, in turn, demands conditions, limitations, which is to say, boundaries. From
which it follows that there can only be one no thing or ground of existence. But there is no limit
upon the number of grounds of Being, as Being transcends Existence. Following Plato, we say
that Existence constitutes the limitation of Being.
If Reality is indeed One, then It is not so in any formal or abstract sense because Ground is itself
generally prior to formal categories or abstractions. The Ground is to be identified with (not
identical to) the Middle which is forever excluded by reason and formal logic.

Two random fluctuations patterns, each individually containing no information, but in which the
two fluctuation patters are correlated by virtue of both belonging to the same quantum system
described by a single state function, . Information does not add because = 1 + 2 and P =
* = ||**2 = 1*1 + 2*2 + 21*2. Data can be combined additively. Information
cannot be so combined. Correlations arise through the cross term, 1*2.

Data are abstracted from the density functions, ||**2, and information is abstracted from the
wavefunctions, (I). Fluctuations which appear local, may always contain contributions from
nonlocal correlations. For example, <p**2> = <|p**2|> = <1 + 2|p**2|1 + 2> =
<1|p**2|1> + <2|p**2|2> + <1|p**2|2>. The last term may be the nonlocal
correlation of momentum functions.

Information cannot become intersubjective, i.e., objective, until they have been reduced to data.
Intersubjectivity seems necessary to objectivity because |**2| is always <j|j> or <j|k>,
interaction and self-interaction.

Rationality as spanning and connecting all possibilities, not merely those that fit into or conform to

a
redrawing of concept-maps. Because language necessarily determines thought, partially at least,
no one language is perfectly translatable into another. The rollover effect, which signals the
language learners having gained fluency in a second language is evidence of this: the language
learner develops habits of thought within the second language in the contually reapplied heat of
conversation in which he changes what he wants to say, but lacks the proper expressions for, in
order to say something similar or merely related just to keep the conversation going, utilizing the
second language expressions he presently commands. By the time the language learner becomes
able to effortlessly keep up in conversations with natives, these many new habits of his associating
ideas expressed within the new language, forged during his struggles to gain fluency have by this
time grown into a large accumulated mass of associations, which forever more affect not only the
speakers word and phrase selection, but also his selection of ideas and concepts.

Consider the preface from
au=
Michel Serres book of essays entitled, The Parasite:
Michel Serres, the polymath, presents his translator with an extremely arduous task. A difficult
style, multilingual puns, a wealth of knowledge and references-all combine to make the text not at
all easy to elucidate. Two words merit brief mention in this preface. The first is the title, parasite.
In French, the word has three meanings: a biological parasite, a social parasite, and static. The
English parasite corresponds only to the first two meanings in French [italics mine]. Thus the
reader should always be aware of this additional resonance in the French that is not translatable
into English. The second word is hote, which corresponds to both host and guest in English. I have
used guest and host in English where one of the two meanings was implied more than the other, but
the other word is always implicitly present [italics mine]. At times, I have used the two together to
reinforce the double meaning. As remarked in the Wikipedia entry on Michel Serres (on the date
of this writing), Serres earned a reputation as a spell-binding lecturer and as the author of
remarkably beautiful and enigmatic prose so reliant on the sonorities of French that it is considered
practically untranslatable.

When changing of private language representations are not merely translation, we have
information processing at the level of the individual, as opposed to the collective.

The equation of a sufficient condition for somethings coming into being is logically equated with
some determinate sum of necessary conditions. This formula only applies to closed or formal
systems. This is because open systems always possess that which is conditioned, the residuum
left after all necessary conditions being removed.

Deterministic causality has to do with the kinematics of relationships between conditions, with the
that which is conditioned assumed to be utterly inert and indifferent to the passage of time. Yet
it is the very substance of all conditions in which temporality consists.

Are we to suppose that direction and rate of times passage is conditional.

There is always, in part, a drawing from the cultural linguistic heritage and partly arbitrary coinage
involved in the naming of similarities and differences noted in new experiences by collectives.

Metaphor is involved in the organic growth of the meaning of relationships as the drawing of
similarities between things based in sometimes radically different contexts points up greater
meaning for the transplanted relationships. The orientation toward this increase in meaning can
be of two distinct types, depending upon the basic character of the knower/observer: the increase
can either be interpreted as an unfolding of preexisting latent meaning and relatedness, or as a
creation of genuinely novel meaning, made to dovetail with earlier experience, but not through a
merely revisionistic interpretation.

Synonymic transformations are the transformations of associative networks as current best
estimates of relatedness.

The example of people looking like their cars or their dogs is similar to the phenomenon of
married couples growing to resemble one another after many years together.

I would describe my psychic abilities, still underdeveloped. Why we cannot control and
systematically develop these abilities may relate to the root locus of control problem. The
stream cannot rise higher than its source, but may attain to the level of its source, but the
expectation value of its energy must be zero although instantaneous fluctuations of energy may
nonetheless be present within such a stream.

What is the relationship between popular song and narcissistic fantasies.

We do not accept these challenges now so that future generations will face lesser ones. But in
order to permit them to meet still greater ones.

Because one life is not enough for either moral or intellectual development of the potential for both
which many human beings possess. This would depend upon not all existence preceding its
essence. On the other hand, a radical statement contained by this axiom of existentialist
philosophy leaves no room for the operation of consciousness: if consciousness is the direct
intuition of Time, then neither perfect, crystalline perfection (pure essence) nor radical fluxion
(pure existence) provides adequate space for the function of temporality, nor for the intuiting of it
by Mind. This is so because the intuition of time must take place within Time itself.

Degrees of openness of a closed system, of closedness of an open system. . . What about the end
points of this spectrum only approached, but never achieved.

Directionality of time dilation as due to relative velocity proof of spacetime structure? The
speed of time which is the magnitude of its velocity (known as proper time) is always c. The
component of velocity of an object along the direction of my time axis is based on the projection of
its time axis upon mine.

It is the contradictions which drive the temporal evolution. Contradictions between dual
opposites which have been invented by the mind, that is. And so then are these dual opposites
not, after all, real?

What about the contradictions found in the dreamscape which alert us to the fact that the unfolding
is of unreal events?

In the real world, these contradictions are as subtle as those underlying the brains integrative
processes.

Processing information is increasing the context of data connecting data together.

No pure reception or transmission of information is possible. Pure reception is information
entering a dead end; pure transmission is information emanating from an isolated system.

Life is a gold mine of metaphors. We can only achieve depth by first acquiring breadth.

Metaphors appear arbitrary initially, but crystallize into virtual inevitability with continued
use/participation with them.

The source originates within the self or from outside it. Glory before death versus glory after.

What frequently makes it difficult to let go is the thought that the love object is in conflict, that a
kind of mythic battle between the forces of good and evil is taking place deep within the love
objects psyche.
And, of course, oneself represents the forces of good and order, the competitor, those of evil and
chaos. To regain the lost love object can only be accomplished by freeing the imprisoned child
or angel which has been abducted by the narcissistic self. One must heroically retrieve the
splinters from deep within the mind of the love object. Typically, only oneself has the intimate
knowledge of the love object which would be required to effect the rescue implied here. But
one must first get through the battlements.

au=
Ernst Beckers heroic sense of self-significance: myth always informs the sense of self of
the individual as much as it informs that of the collective.

When a person or thing achieves the status of being an icon, it no longer has to justify itself.

Because music activates the right hemisphere it tends at the same time to suspend the activity of
the left an already high level of human suggestibility is rendered even greater.

Poetry is so powerfully suggestive because coherent thought manages to be expressed despite the
imposing of metrical, metaphorical/allegorical, and stylistic constraints. This is what enhances
the wholeness and originality, and hence, secret appeal to the authority of the poet as conduit of
divine insight.

The psychological pain is greatly ameliorated whenever some lasting or broader lesson can be
drawn from an injury to ones pride or self-esteem.

A splitting between abducted child and cold, calculating bitch frequently helps drive the
ambiguity of the interpretation of rejection and, in turn, the chaotic play of conflicting emotions.
I am here reminded of the Duran Duran song, Because youre lonely in you nightmare, let me in.

Meaning frequently starts out as denotative, but through continued use by many different speakers,
the associations with myriad different contexts piles up and the term becomes largely connotative.
The more intimately known are speakers to one another, that is, the more associative networks they
hold in common, the more connotative will be their communications.

By extension all of
the messages which traverse ones grey matter possess no innate denotation at all, but are purely
connotative, c.f, Russell On Denoting. Denotation is an abstract artifact of connotation.

Who you are is what you care about.

Can a fundamental shift in consciousness be referenced by the individual?

It is as though each entity has its own indeterminate ground. But what makes this seem possible is
the possibility or existence of multiple transcendent beings to which these entities can be objects of
knowledge.




Is it possible to have a complex signal which results from the modulation of one signal by another,
but which is not equivalent to a superposition of two or more signals?


Aperiodic functions such as are treated by chaos theory, cannot be represented as a superposition
of periodic functions. As noted already, periodicity is only possible within a closed dynamical
system. So the existence of chaos is an indication that outside influences are at work.

The collective can create works possessing an ordered ambiguity and latent structure of networked
metaphors of greater complexity than what can be produced by any single individual. Advanced
technology is a perfect example of the superiority of the collective to the individual.

Tenuous metaphors: the means by which the overdetermined chaos is filtered and vague
associations amplified into crystalline conceptions.

Dual quality with the capacity to transform into its opposite vs. without such a capacity.

Logic versus finding the path which takes one between systems. No metasystem exists which

person to jump systems.

Tenaciously robust song lyrics are timeless.

If you try to think about what a metaphor literally means in terms of the imagined elements
signified within it there is a great deal of ambiguity but of an unimportant kind. Metaphors have
an underdetermined literal meaning.

Sartre says in Being and Nothingness that as long as we are conscious of what we are, we can
never entirely be what we are. Otherwise, we are landed in an infinite regress. In other words,
a conscious being is never identical with itself and yet there is nonetheless a basis of his continuity
through time. Does this fact point up the transcendental nature of the self? What if the very
nature of the transcendental self is precisely its infinite regressiveness. The self in this case would
be infinite and bounded while its incarnation is finite and unbounded.

Due to the overdetermination of nature, empirical confirmation can be found for any theory, so
long as the theory is internally consistent.

When I was in my late teens and early twenties, I was in the habit of attempting to figure out the

approaches to solution, not answers dawn on me.

Unique enabler of changes in the self is this possible?

Returning without immediately realizing it returning without ever realizing it. Realization
cannot exhaust reality. More exists than can be reified. Reality can never show itself false, can
never work itself into a cul-de-sac, a lie that it cannot lie its way out of. And so there must
always remain sufficient play in the system for it to work out its apparent contradictions and
inconsistencies. If the inconsistencies are sufficiently severe they will infect the mind of the
observer/participator.

But our emotions and motives are also alloyed with compassion and loving concern, just with

Will implies originality, power, and creativity.

Those who respect and seek power do not value peoples private opinions, motivations for
imaginary actions which they lack the courage to put into practice. To these people dreams which
are never translated into action are less than nothing. Is there such a thing as completely
dissociated experience? At what point does fantasy life become dissociative experience? Acts
of true creativity always protruded into the established order in multiply connected fashion.

What about the case in which we believe we have a concept of something like, say, soul or free

abstractions (taken from experience) although this experience may be itself rationally constituted a

There is not way you can know what will happen tomorrow, but when tomorrow comes, sure
enough, you will know it. It is only the part of the self which doesnt change which experiences

Making distinctions within a category which possesses vagueness. Is this any guarantee that our

Like the spaces in the walls of the Mormon temple, the architect had not idea what these passages
in the walls overhead would be used for. . .

This is what is peculiar about the defining of such open-ended concepts. Do they begin as
metaphors, half-baked notions, ambiguous, vaguely emotionally-charged images? The collective
unconscious appears to create these open-ended notions and the collective consciousness finds
myriad uses for them only later do they become fleshed out as to their ultimate meaning and
significance.

Inventive persons of a stereotypical group can always redefine and reprocess this stereotype. But

Intelligence is positively correlated with strength of neural discharge. Is this because strength of
the neural discharges is correlated with the strength with which the mind is stimulated by the
brain? This is somewhat in contrast to the reducing valve or radio receiver analogy of
conscious perception and thought.

We must distinguish between forming abstractions versus manipulating pre-existing ones. Since
communication is always a process comprised of both in mutual proportions which can never be
completely disentangled, language can never be merely an implement distinguishable from that to
which it is applied.

The matrix of language is reactive and not passive.

In the absence of genuine creative power, there is the display of mastery available to the critic:
the effecting of a brilliant reduction. Reduction of a creative work to a collection of influences
(memes) is to explode utterly its claim to authorship.

Instead of coining new terms out of thin air, many philosophers prefer to borrow terms from some
status-conferring language such as Greek, German, or French. Another device used is to stretch
the scope of some highly familiar term or adopt one of these familiar terms to an acception which
is on the periphery of normal usage.

Gradually, more and more of the routine impulses, emotions, and thoughts are relegated to the

Joy is immediate and does not require the promise of anything.

Logocentrism is an artifact of the neural networks enhancement subroutines.

Illusions as such are not necessarily false representations. But the truth of illusions is essentially
incidental, or perhaps, co-incidental. So the radical alterity of the other is overcome by the
transcendental unity of consciousness qua consciousness. But from radical alterity we must
distinguish transcendental alterity.
The determinacy of thought is based solely upon the fixed or deterministically changing boundary
conditions upon the flow of data and transformations of data structures. But the changes in the
highest level boundary conditions cannot be deterministic.

By virtue of the being of more than two transcendent alterities, we may speak of higher orders of
alterity in the sense of these alterities being distinct from one another in distinct ways. But do
such higher order distinctions presuppose the possibility of the similarity of transcendentally
distinct alterities?



Thought prepares the advent of insight. Gene/meme hypothesis of textual composition. Genes
and a genetic code may provide the greatest access of data structures to dynamic information
exchange/processing.

It is perhaps remarkable that since Victorian times, the spiritual realm has been identified with the
fourth dimension.

Here again, is a case of a thinker hitting upon a great truth well in advance of the emergence of an
adequately prepared ground for this discovery.

There are broad implications which result from choosing to link through association, two

Only will can perform the reduction from infinite formlessness to the assumption of form.

Two kinds of Absolute, that of Will and Representation.

Thought as a manifestation of confusion, disunity, or an attempt at reintegration of recollection.

Thought as revelation or insight. The subconscious or unconscious thinks in completed

intrude into the conscious mind at myriad points within the conscious minds time stream.

Any categories of transcendent beings would themselves transcend any conceptual framework.

The mental versus physical distinction is transcended in this realm.

Because existence versus nonexistence is really only presence versus absence which is not a

So both existence and nonexistence require conditions and an explanation.

Where the meanings are predetermined until placed within a linguistic context (post-linguistic),

Combining the quantum indistinguishability principle with special relativity leads to the

Insight gains authority with being articulated with only the best-sounding phrases.

But in massive objects, much of the refreshing of energy is through the mass itself. And so a kind
of identity and continuity is created.

In some of the headier
science fiction stories, it is always assumed that the mentality of extraterrestrials is so, ahem, alien,
that the only way communication can take place between them and us is in a form that is one-way
and this by virtue of the ability of aliens possessing superior intelligence to pull stock metaphors
from the subconscious (which is in the midst of responding to the presence of the aliens) of hapless
Earthlings in order to reflect these back. But really one wonders if this isnt in fact how everyone
initially comes to make contact with the outside world anyway, i.e., infants acquiring the language
of the vastly superior big people who make funny sounds. This suggests and illustrates the
notion that if we are ever to communicate with extraterrestrials, several preconditions must first be
in place: 1) they must be more intelligent than us. 2) they must have been in the past, perhaps in
the very distant past, much as we are now. 3) they must have an effective method of getting us to
acquire their language and concepts (which we currently have not the slightest clue about). Prior
to contact, however, there will have to be some sort of common denominator of mental process and
protolanguage to enable this, which points up a very important insight. Successful
communication with extraterrestrials, perhaps someday in mans distant future, shall only come
about within the context of some over-arching providence. Whether that providence is in the
form of the intelligent design of an eternally preexisting universe as self-causing intelligent
though impersonal organism or of some superhuman person - intelligent designer/creator is beside
my point. But the key factor in whether the communication from the superior intelligence is
actually ever received is the following: does the recipient of the communication ever get the idea to
deconstruct the metaphorical texture in which the communication was placed, i.e., unwrap the
message so as to get at the actual message? Or would this be to have been merely successfully
indoctrinated into the new, originally alien context?

Any action except refraining from the unnecessary is vulnerable to a revisionistic interpretation.

We might term this higher order duality, the duality of temporality. The right hemisphere and the
left seem to be in an endless metaphysical debate. The right attempts to broaden, the left
hemisphere to restrict the scope of the meaning of the constructs of language.

Multiple data copies necessary because of limited data access information available ( accessible?)

Processing information is not determination of intended context.

Reductionism and holism are both examples of determinism, the former, causal, the latter,
teleological.

OR is there such a thing as bad genes?

We must remember that there is not ultimate duality within an open-system. Yet temporality
seems to presuppose duality. But open-endedness that precludes duality also seems to require
temporality. These are two fundamentally distinct modes of temporality, that of closed versus
open system temporality.

Have you had a dream about a stranger? Do you want to know if this person actually exists?

Human beings self image and sense of self worth is highly relativistic.

The crackpot-lightening rod disinformation campaign theory of the Roswell Incident.

Human beings do not realize how truly similar to each other they are, without regard to inessential
particulars. This idea is supported by the notion that every human being possesses the same
qualitative spectrum of impulses/motivations as every other human being. What really accounts
for the vast differences in the behaviors demonstrated by different people (groups of people) is the
weighting of these impulses with respect to one another. This notion can only be rendered truly
consistent by admitting the existence of unconscious and repressed impulses.

One must begin to examine the subjective and anecdotal basis of classification schemes.

Many forms of psychoses are simply fluctuations which lie behind expectation values for

Lets say this were
true because, for example our reality is secretly an ancestor simulation and theres an indefinite
number of these simulations running on the system, and the breakthrough in quantum
computing has allowed us within this simulation to connect to the Internet server on which ours as
well as all of these myriad other ancestor simulations are running. Possibilities not realized in our
simulation supposedly must be realized in some other simulation. What this really means though
is just that the description of each case or state of affairs not realized in our simulation must have
literal correspondence with some state of affairs within one or more of the other simulations. But
this is not at all the same thing as all the possibilities definable for us here necessarily being
realized somewhere else. We could replace the notion above of server (on which the myriad
ancestor simulations are running) with the notion, consciousness as such and replace the
concept, ancestor simulation with that of individual consciousness and we would have here an
exact analogy. This line of speculation is starting to remind us of Wittgensteins discussion of a
private language.
@$
Can we just agree that the technology involved in the production of ones conscious states
represents the fruits of a science appropriate to a class III civilization? While the subject matter
of the content of these conscious states is that of a civilization that is still a few centuries away
from being class 0! The theoretical height of technological development shall be nothing more nor
less than our reproducing the technology that 1) makes conscious states possible and 2) makes the
content of the conscious states to be coherent and about the existence of a rational (in the sense of
cause and effect, conservation laws, etc.) objective world. But clearly if such attempts at
reproduction of technology succeed, it will be at one remove and before this point is reached, we
shall have detected the ancestor simulation and learned to manipulate and then master its
dynamics. It is the detection, measurement and discovery of the causal laws of the ancestor
simulations dynamical computational substrate that shall be responsible for our success in
pushing our own technological development to the limits posed by relativistic quantum mechanics.
What if the mystery of consciousness is not to be sought in the examination of physics and
chemistry (the phenomena of anaesthesia certainly indicate that chemistry is not important to the
processes underlying consciousness) because these are only the rules of the simulation (the
algorithm). Consciousness represents the locus in which the simulation must tie itself off like
the knotted ends of thread on the underside of some elaborate weaving and represents the very
point of contact between the simulated world and the real world inhabited by either 1) the real
person resurrected, 2) a member of the class I or II civilization who is playing an RPG with the
ancestor as his avatar, 3) genuinely new persons who are simulations of ancestors of the
designers of the simulation program, but in this sense the consciousness of the ancestor is not a
simulation (thats a manifestation of the bottom level or 0
th
level of a hierarchy of simulations.)
The question arise here of whether the ancestor simulation is individual or communal. It doesnt
seem to make much sense to suppose that a simulation of the interaction of persons long dead
would secretly be the interplay of RPG avatars (controlled by real persons who are themselves
members of some class I or II civilization) unless the simulation were an ancestor reenactment.

Similar to the figure ground transformation effected by the Copernican Revolution and
reenacted by Kant in the field of epistemology, linguists and sociologists inverted the relationship
of individual and society: far from society being composed by individuals, individuals were, in
their very sense of self-identy, constituted by social relations and forces.

The purpose of substance is for continuity which is needed as a conduit or path for something else?

There is no distinction between proximate and remote causes in a deterministic chain. To avoid

Can information be completely free, i.e., not touching upon that which is informed by it?

Data merely point to information addresses or links within a network. Data concerns
representational knowledge objects. Data tell the stand-alone system where to patch into the
network. Of course, the place into which one must patch changes in a manner which can only
be tracked (not traced) so long as one remains connected to the network.

Why must there always be side consequences/effects to enemy designed/engineered

The logos of illusion versus the illusion of logos. Because of the overdetermination of all
phenomena, a given particular perception does not point to any unique situation of conditions
within the external world, does not point to anything in particular being the case. Yet this
predicament would not seem to apply to the presence of ones own contents of consciousness. In
this case, the phenomena do not seem to be overdetermined, and this is perhaps due to the fact that
conscious mental contents point to themselves, while at the same time pointing beyond
themselves. That is, conscious mental contents possess intentionality despite succeeding, unlike
perceptions of the external world, in also pointing to themselves. These mental contents point to
themselves as something external. Emerging as they do from an open, indeterminate system,
they cannot have been brought into being through any sort of deterministic process, but must have
been brought into being intentionally. They point to that in which a causal chain originates. For
any link in the chain which is not a point of origination (rather than propagation according to some
rule or other) carries something through itself unchanged. Nonlocality of mental action is implied
by the coherence of the influences of multiple points of origination which have had not previous
causal connection to one another.


In an open system, one cannot make categorical assertions. Of course, the above statement is an
example par excellence of a categorical assertion.

No falsifiability of the falsifiability doctrine because, if this doctrine is valid, there is no such thing
as the positive confirmation of a theory.

Pure Nothingness is like the perfect Platonic triangle an abstraction only crudely approximated
in reality. The notion of pure consciousness likewise refers to nothing in reality but is merely
an ideal or abstraction. Consciousness is always greater in scope than any definition: the process
of abstraction always presupposes consciousness supporting the process. This is what makes the
concept of consciousness a transcendental concept as well as grounding the meaning of
transcendental by virtue of the confirmed application of this concept. Transcendental is
naturally enough a self-referential notion.

Just like the person who always purchases gifts for others which they themselves would like to

If the human consciousness is truly an open system, then can it be totally and utterly removed from
what is, from what has being? Would the removal of this indefinite, and hence infinite, being
leave behind an unlimited and open realm only with an unlimited class of potentialities removed?

The popularity of television is proof of how pervasive fantasy is in the life of the average member

The observable universe is just an extension of the Earth. It may be that humanity in its greatest

A human being would not possess the consciousness to seek that which does not exist.

Transcendence requires meta-alterity. This is because each individual consciousness possesses
unlimited potential for its development, possesses unlimited alterity. So meta alterity would be
the alterity with respect to other consciousnesses.

Denumerable infinity can be easily viewed as a mere idea based on an extension of the finite,
however, the vast structure of higher order infinities revealed originally by Cantors work, based
upon his diagonal argument, suggests that infinity may not be a mere notion or construction.

The finite, then, may well be a construct denied from infinity.

Because of the dynamic back-reaction of language upon the poet/ author, he/she cannot really

With statistical analysis applied to huge masses of data, heretofore unobtainable without integrated
computer and communications technology, it is no longer necessary to keep such rigid control over
experimental conditions, say through the pooling and integration of anecdotal information. At
some point even dreams, reveries, and vagarys might provide valuable empirical data for the
construction of new, revolutionary epistemological (and perhaps even cosmological) theories.

An example might be an integration of peoples dream sequences which is daily updated to a
dream archive. Would we expect to discover any theoretically significant patterns of
correlation/connection between the dream elements of various persons who had been mutually
concurrent dreams.

Just think, if we hadnt turned that corner at the same time, we would have never met. Well,

Human beings seem innately blind to the richness and complexity of the realm of counterfactuals.




The collapse of the Psi function is proof of natures capacity for adapting to the interference posed

Although the DNA of each individual human is virtually unique, one out of 10**7, say, the
expression of these DNA is hugely overdetermined, e.g., myriad base pair sequences code for
identical proteins. This might not really be the case, however, for higher order regulatory base
pair sequences responsible for higher order genetic regulation, i.e., regulation of other genes whom
themselves produce proteins or regulate genes which do (structural genes).

The unconscious does not have the facility for adapting symbols to its communication needs that
the conscious mind possesses. During waking states of consciousness, the requisite psychic
energy for the production of dream imagery sequences is not available to it, so the
unconsciousness tries to get our attention through repetition rather than by variation.

When reality does not possess a complete description, does this really mean that any attempt to
describe it is just as good as another? There are the additional criteria of internal consistency,

On the hypothesis that only pure energy can be spontaneously created within a Euclidean or
flat quantum vacuum, e.g., virtual fermion/anti-fermion pairs, it followed that bound energy
structures, e.g., atoms, molecules, etc., are unanticipated structures. Such structures which
cannot be predicted from the flat quantum vacuum can, indeed, be engendered with a curved
spacetime which necessarily itself possesses some kind of bound structure after which a
momentum-energy fluctuation may pattern its own bound structure. Perhaps the curved vacuum
may be decomposed into two disjoint components: a purely flat and a purely curved one.
The vacuum momentum-energy fluctuation, when engendered within a curved spacetime, may be
thought to produce a back-reaction upon the vacuum state from which it is engendered, at least
upon its flat part, which cannot anticipate the appearance of such bound structures. Could this
be simply because energy and three momentum are normally orthogonal to one another with a flat
spacetime? Why do we expect the kind of back-reaction alluded to above? Because the
vacuum state prior to the appearance of the bound structure fluctuation cannot, at least in its purely
flat component, continue in a parallel phase space evolution with it. There is also the possibility
that newly engendered bound (momentum-energy) structures possess access to alternative vacuum
states altogether disjoint from the vacuum states originally producing them as fluctuations! This
would account for a continued back-reaction of bound energy structures upon a chosen unitary
vacuum state. On this view, bound momentum-energy structures connect multiple vacuum states.
Moreover, gravitation (and inertia, as well) may be a function of the interaction of multiple,
heretofore, uncommunicative vacuum states. Also, a curved vacuum state, i.e., a curved
spacetime, should be modeled as an interference pattern of multiple vacuum states, previously
disjoint.

If the hypothesis that mass is simply bound energy is correct, then we would expect a shift in the
balance between momentum and energy fluctuations to take place ( in favor of increased
momentum fluctuations and decreased energy fluctuations) as a mass approaches a gravitating
body. This shift, of course, would go hand in hand with a contraction in the positional uncertainty
and increase in the time uncertainty.

A vacuum state described by a curved spacetime may produce complex , bound energy structures.
Of course, when energy is supplied to the vacuum from outside as in the case of high power lasers,
linear accelerators, strong electric fields, etc., any number of bound energy structures may be
produced. Quantum numbers accounting must be obeyed, however. The expectation value of
all quantum numbers within the vacuum is zero.

We do not appear to make or understand a distinction between concepts which have only a social

mind of the individual.

Operational concepts and methodologies are sometimes corrupted into metaphysics.

Astrologys predictions and explanations are self-fulfilling because of the nature of perception to
be heavily filtered. And astrology is a structure which, virus-like, takes over the
idea-synthesizing machinery of the mind, replacing the inchoate thoughts of weak minds with its
predetermined crystalline ones.

No information is conveyed by a signal that is not part of a feedback loop. So there really is no
such thing as pure transmission of information. And any closed system of circulating energy
currents can be decomposed into a set of pure transmissions within spacetime. A system of
triggers and reactions. No possibility of synchronization, timing or reference frame without an
embedding dynamic substrate. Another proof of the necessity of antiparticles might be given in
terms of the application of the law of conservation of four momentum to vacuum fluctuation
energy. Similarly, the explanation for the Pauli and Bose principles may be derived from the
same application of this law of four conservation to fluctuations of quantum vacuum
momentum-energy, or the application of the continuity equation to virtual particle current
densities.

But if such a conservation law applies to vacuum fluctuations (virtual particles), then this
would imply the existence of nonlocally connected (and interlocked) matter and force fields.
Perhaps momentum conservation only applies to the vacuum expectation values, not all
components of which being zero within a nonvanishing gravitational field. Is subvocalization
just the by product of social conditioned response or is the mute part of the brain able to hear and
understand the subvocal utterance of the left?

It seems that the only way that equipartation of momentum-energy can be maintained (with regard
to expectation values) is if there is some embedding medium for interacting gas particles in which
stresses and strains can be developed and exchanged. It appears that there is a thermodynamic
requirement for a vacuum stress-momentum-energy field. Spontaneous emission, for example, is
necessary for thermodynamic laws to be upheld during exchanges of energy between excited
atoms and an electromagnetic field. Because the vacuum fluctuations do not themselves possess
inertia as individual particles, this may possess collective inertia through nonlocal connectivity.
Is back-reaction an inertial characteristic?

Can nonlocally connected quantum fields be connected to locally connected causal, classical
fields? Changes in energy along a continuum of degenerate energies, i.e., changes in the absence

The statistics of real particles and fields is taken bodily from the statistics of the quantum vacuum.
Vacuum statistics are determined by spin. The other quantum numbers constitute constraints

Part of the associative network begins to protrude into consciousness. This is dissociation. Is it

This association network of all in all, interpenetrating identities has always been operative, but is
only now becoming conscious.
April 2011
An example of dissociation is the loss of natural fellow
feeling or of the workaday consciousness. Still more dissociation is exemplified by a loss of
the perception of the naturalness of ones mother tongue (oral or in printed form), ones own
body/bodily functions and that of the human form/function of others. Characteristically human
manifestations such as greetings, courtesies, laughter, facial expressions of emotion, body
language, applause, dancing, sport, play, i.e., things humans do without rational reason or
instinctively all appear to the dissociated person as arbitrary. Moreover, institutions that provide
a culturally grounding context for human existence and endeavor, e.g., government, military,
religion, fraternal organizations, etc., also seem pointless and arbitrary. The dissociated
individual is the eternal social anthropologist who hails from some other planet than the one to
which he appears to have been temporality posted. This all necessarily involves detachment from
the network of socially conditioned meaning associations, e.g., sociolinguistic culture. The
current trend in literature, art and science represented by postmodernism and deconstruction is
perhaps an example of dissociative detachment having become appropriated by intellectual
culture. Mankind is intensely and awkwardly self-conscious well beyond where he has reason to
be, if his evolution were truly attributable to natural selection alone. Clearly the way forward to
resolving this apparent paradox is to gain a deeper and broader notion of what is termed natural.
(c.f., perennial bachelor or would-be bachelor who takes a foreign wife).

What disunity exists within the human psyche? Moreover, how is it that this disunity
is even detectable so as to be made the subject of critical examination and comment? Similar
remarks apply to the minority human tendency to critically examine and speculate upon such
subjects as temporality and change, consciousness, free will, the aesthetic sense, humor, laughter,
etc. How did man manage to achieve enough success in getting outside himself so as to make
the most unself-consciously natural general aspects of his psyche and sociality the subjects of
intense philosophical and scientific scrutiny? The answer to this seeming paradox, of course,
might well be that, he has not in fact at all succeeded in doing this! Then the question becomes:
where did man ever get the idea that he could get outside himelf in the first place? A central
notion underlying the metaphysical sensibility is that of limits. Humankind developed the notion
of limits because he developed the model of the self as embodied and as occupying a space, which
presupposed an intuition of temporality that in turn presupposed a general temporal integrative
function. So the stuff at the outer reaches of mans future metaphysical speculation his
philosophical horizon, if you will, is always already substantively a part of the psychic processes
underlying mans integration into a volitional self. Linguistic processes must have started out as a
kind of assembly language or machine code enlisted by the brain for the purpose of
reprocessing sense data into various distinct modalities. Somehow the brain hit upon the trick of
turning this linguistic processs inside-out.

The moment of inertia analogy for the metaphorical origin of logocentric notions.

Projections alluding to the presence of spaces that do not exist in actual fact. Virtual optical

Logocentrism is a disease of the understanding in which metaphors are reified into concepts. This
is
kwd=
reification at one remove.

Meaning lies within a tissue of metaphors. This is particularly evident in the almost transcendent
wholeness of meaning evoked by poetry and song lyrics which are particularly metaphor-dense
varieties of literature.

Concepts which possess no dual are not communicable, cannot be captured through discursive
symbols, except through, perhaps, the negation of concepts which themselves possess some
indeterminacy.

This is simply the nondual which Advaita Vedanta speaks of.

Of course, the non dual is the dual of the dual, if we engage in dual thinking, that is.

But nondual thinking does not see itself as the dual of the dual so is self-transcending as a category.

We have emotions about most experiences because they in turn reflect other earlier experiences
wherein the associated emotions were more immediate. These earlier emotions in their turn
should ultimately refer to a network of earliest held experiences that were concretely evoked.

Both retention of memory and anticipation are required in order to foreground the moment.

One must believe what ones true self wants to be true. This statement may be interpreted in two

moral imperative.

When a mass is accelerated, it not only accelerates in a spatial direction but also it decelerates
along the time axis. So the mass exchanges less energy with the vacuum and more energy (in the
form of 3-momentum) with itself. So fluctuation momentum density increases in the exact same
proportion as does the fluctuation energy density decrease. Fluctuation momentum and energy
current densities form a four vector which is transformed through a 2
nd
rank tensor.

The speed of light is a limiting velocity in vacuum because c in reality represents the speed of
time in that, when an object is at rest, i.e., in 3-d Euclidean space, it is being reconstituted from
energy (vacuum energy) at a maximum rate (this is for the time being, not to take any exotic
squeezed states into consideration) along a fourth dimensional spatial axis. Of course, to some
tiny degree the mass is reconstituting itself from its own energy store ( the basis for inertia and,
more subtly, gravitation, as well.
Because of the identity of all quantum particles of similar type, there can be no substantive

Do associations begin as arbitrary connections underpinned by mere correlation? But the
arbitrariness is reduced through feedback in the presence of constant patters of input. The brains

And now, we will practice Microsoft Word by taking notes on Jacques Derrida,"The Retrait of
Metaphor," which was published in ENCLITIC 2:2 (1978): 5-33. As we know, the editors point
out that the article works with two semantic systems for the word RETRAIT, which has a variety
of meanings in French.

The reason that words tend to have myriad meanings is that words coined to denote things or
activities within some original context are borrowed for use in an unfamiliar or less familiar one.
But the first denotative terms were actually metaphor since various images were being assimilated
over time (in the subjective experience of primitive man) to the notion of a thing which appeared
and reappeared. So objects are distilled out of the flux of experience in the developing feedback
between the infant and his environment and constitute a kind of reified metaphor. And this is
what the Self really is. This is somewhat Kantian and is along the lines of what Piaget says about
cognitive development in the sensorimotor stage: the infant learns through interacting with a
reactive environment that the image of her hand moving, the sound it makes when it strikes a
mobile hanging over her crib, the feeling in her hand, the kinesthetic sensations in the arm and
shoulder muscles are all part of the same thing. This integration of sensation has to be learned
from experience. Existence definitely precedes essence and objects in the external world and the
Self emerge from the flux of dissociated sensation simultaneously. We commonly here of the
thrownness of the individual. More correct here is to speak of the thrownness of the self and its
world together in a single act.

Metaphor represents the right brain version of the left brain/analytical activity of the instantiation
of abstract categories. There is always somewhat of an insight involved in use of metaphor and
it's a linguistic competency not likely to ever be equaled by a machine. When we learn a
language this latent structure of metaphor lying at various levels beneath the surface of language is
subconsciously assimilated and it conditions and delimits all thought, even at its most creative.
Especially then. Now mostly what Heidegger does when he's doing metaphysics is to unearth
this latent structure by going back, he thinks, much closer to where it originated. Usually in the
Greek. When you read Heidegger you realize that, at bottom, that's all metaphysics really is - it's
just archeology of language, the "mining" of latent metaphors which are masquerading as purely
denotative concepts or logical categories. When I'm doing metaphysics, I always feel that I'm not
completely in control of what I'm thinking and sometimes I feel like I'm more or less a passive
vessel into which insights flow and intuitions crystallize. And that's because I think that I'm
supposed to be utilizing clear and distinct categories although I'm really utilizing metaphor. All of
the time, in fact. This is why logocentrism doesnt really work. And logocentrism is itself the
kwd=
reification of a metaphor and does not really qualify as a truly denotative concept.
Deconstruction deconstructs itself. The statement that absolute truth is false cannot be absolutely
true! Deconstruction is a giant case of question-begging, I think.


In instantiation of a concept or logical category, the grasping of a particular is prefigured in the
pre-existing concept or form which is not expanded or enlarged through this re-cognition under the
concept of one of its concrete particulars. In metaphor, however, there is a creative
interpretation of the unknown or unfamiliar through the importation of a contextual web of
associations (based in experience) as opposed to logical relations or abstract categories.. A static,
stable order in the old context becomes a dynamic ordering principle whenever it is transplanted
into the new context. The dynamism is generated by the reactivity of the new context as
ground into which a seed or viral contaminant of foreign meaning is introduced. In metaphor an
inductive as opposed to a deductive step is taken which enlarges the original category that was
borrowed. And all of the entities treated of denotatively are, as alluded to already, metaphorical
constructs. This is what makes metaphor open-ended and irreducible in the scope of its action, as
well as translogical. Because logic presupposes metaphorical relationships and so the process by
which formal categories are generally brought about cannot itself be given a formal description,
which is to say, no formal description can be given for how formal descriptions are generally
brought into being. Metaphor, which is prelogical, underlies the production of all formal
categories/abstract concepts.


One of the systems has to do with retreats, retracings, withdrawals, and soon: leading to
questions of economy, pathway, passage, and circulation. The second system has to do with
erasure/rubbing but also usury, by which use and wear BUILD UP or increase value/meaning.

There are two kinds of metaphor - two senses in which metaphor is a "Retrait." The first is the
interpretation of the new in terms of the old. The second is the reverse of this: the
reinterpretation of the old in terms of the new, such as a metaphor, suggested, for example, by
new social relations enabled by developments in technology. An example of this might be the
drawing of an analogy between the rise of the Internet and the World Wide Web's impact upon
postmodernity and the social/cultural impact of the printing press upon the Renaissance in Europe
( in terms of the freeing-up of individualism). By making of history a Palimpsest, we make the
transition (passage) into
the future less discontinuous and more comprehensible.


Wornness, worn-outness, will be important here as well, since Derrida will be talking about
metaphor as something old, something coming near its end. Is Derrida talking about the ending
of History in the sense of the end of grand narratives?

Myth is metaphysics clothed in metaphor. The most fundamental myth is that of the Ego or
Self-consciousness. The Ego is the most fundamental of myths because it represents the
operation of metaphor at its most fundamental: consciousness is an unbounded flux which is in
continual change along a determined but not predetermined path. The Ego possesses continuity
throughout this fluxion despite its always being the artifact of an ever changing ground. The Ego
always manages to reconstitute itself as such against this changing, grounding flux of altering
consciousness. The Ego in the present moment is always the importation of a structure from the
previous momentary ground (consciousness) into a new one all the while remaining the self same
Ego. Sorry if Im belaboring the obvious.

Derrida begins by pointing out that metaphor works with these notions of passage and circulation:
inhabiting, transporting oneself, passing through, and so on: all of this is of course is good for
poetry in general, and given my fixation, for Vallejo in particular. A key initial idea is that while
we think we "use" metaphor, it in fact comprehends us, sweeps us away, displaces us: we arent
like a pilot in his ship, we_re DRIFTING, skidding.


The importation of the structuring of the old ground from the preceding moment manages always (
or almost always) to impose a new structure upon the newly emerging ground which returns the
Ego to itself. This return of the Self to Itself continually, all the while the ground of
consciousness fluctuates underneath it, represents the power of metaphor in its greatest generality.

For this reason we might term Mind the metaphor of all metaphors. And that is inevitable, for no
speech is possible without metaphor.


[It is not clear to me why Derrida thinks metaphor is coming to the end of its life_he says it_s old,
does he say how he knows it_s almost retiring (he says it is retiring)?] But here comes
something: because it_s old, it has MORE and not less weight: a lot is attached to metaphor.
Metaphor is "a
suspensive withdrawal and return supported by the line (TRAIT) delimiting a contour" (9) [this
again is good for Vallejo].

Now he asks why we privilege Heidegger_s text (he doesn_t say which text) on this topic. It
seems to be because of H_s concentration on TRAIT, in the sense of line, the "tracing incision of
language" (10). Now D reveals two of H_s titles: DER SATZ VOM GRUND and
UNTERWEGS ZUR SPRACHE. He also reminds us, in his inimitable way, that he will quote
himself ("WHITE MYTHOLOGY: Metaphor in the Text of Philosophy") but this is not in order to
draw attention to himself but rather, so as not to have to repeat here what he said there (yeah, yeah,
Jacques-baby).

This is getting difficult. D is going to slip himself through one of H_s notes on metaphor - in
which "the metaphoric exists only within the boundaries of metaphysics" - as discussed by Ricoeur
in LA METAPHORE VIVE, whose eighth essay, in turn, discusses D_s "White Mythology" piece.
[Gossip: the current piece by Derrida was read at a symposium in Geneva where Ricoeur also
read.] Anyway, the point is that we will be relating metaphor and metaphysics here, in the above
sense, that the metaphoric exists only within the boundaries of metaphysics. [Guessing: as we
know, D wants to get beyond metaphysics, so I suppose this article will try to lead us beyond
metaphor: let_s see, that_s interesting, it sounds THEOLOGICAL to me and I know D would
probably hate me for thinking so.]

D says R didn_t pay enough attention this point of H_s. So now he will critique R. First point.
R, according to D, assimilates D too easily to H. Second point. More on R_s misreading of
"White Mythology;" over-assimilation to H. [Not having read "WM" or the Heidegger piece on
it, it_s hard
for me to comment here.] [Gossip: D comes from a repressive family background, I can tell,
he_s like me, keeps saying "but that_s not what I said, how can you attribute it to me" - he is very
fixated on being precisely understood, I agree intellectually with that feeling, but what I am
gossiping about here is
his tone.] Here, he_s also mad at R because, D says, R criticises D from the place to which D had
himself carried the critique.

A key point appears to be that according to R, "WM" makes death or dead metaphor is watchword
- this idea offends D (note though that R_s text is called LIVE METAPHOR). What D purports to
really be talking about is the TWO DEATHS or SELF-DESTRUCTIONS OF METAPHOR [he
doesn_t explain this here, we have to read "WM" which I_m beginning to suspect is more
interesting than the piece at hand].

Now we talk about economy. A. usury B. the law of the house C. EREIGNIS [?] D.
passage, fraying, transfer, translation, withdrawal (because, I intuit, metaphor TODAY is
withdrawing, according to D). Now we look at mother-tongue and father-language_again,
complicated little arguments, my first guess here is that mother-tongue is not metaphoric, but
father-language is metaphorical and metaphysical, has to do with formal language, the law, and so
forth.

Retreat, tracing, translation_let_s talk about "traits," then. We need metaphor when we can_t get to
Being_if we could get there, there would be no metaphor. And, what Heidegger calls
metaphysics ITSELF corresponds to a withdrawal of Being. So we only get out of
metaphysical/metaphorical discourse by a withdrawal of the withdrawal of Being.

[SIDE NOTE: COMPARE TO THE NIETZCHEAN TALK ON MINERALS IN THE YES:
COMPARED> TO THAT, THIS SEEMS VERY WESTERN AND ENCLOSED, AND
COMPARED TO EASTERN RELIGION, WELL, NEED I SAY MORE?] Anyway, what we_re
going to get with metaphor is a series of retreats, withdrawals_this is how metaphor gets so
complex_as it withdraws, it "gives place" to "an abyssal generalisation of themetaphoric."

Being, like metaphor, "withdraws into its crypt" [VAMPIRES AGAIN! DOES THIS
MAKE BEING A VAMPIRE? PROBABLY, DAS STIMMT, IT FITS.] BUT, and this is
going to be important, we get a CATASTROPHE when metaphoricity no longer allows itself to be
contained in its _metaphysical_ concept_when (I THINK) metaphor stops being a metaphor of
something that is absent (but whose absence is palpable, as in the absence of Abraham_s God).


Existence is, of course, the contextualizing of Being. The withdrawal of Being would mean the
loss of coherence of the ground of existence. Metaphor is the continual recontextualization of
Being which maintains this coherence of ground. Metaphor, in its root and most basic
manifestation, effectively simulates the continued presence of Being. But this is for some not
satisfactory. One tragically desires the Being of the Other. But secretly the Being of the Self and
the Being of the Other are one and the same. For one is the Other for the Other. But one can see
from ones own case, that one is more than merely the Other for the Other! Metaphysics is the
attempt to discursively describe what can only be glimpsed, which is the coherence of existence in
the light of Beings presencing as Other. Metaphysics tries to reconstitute Being from out of the
coherence of Beings existence even in Beings absence. The immediacy of Being obviates the
necessity of metaphysics as "ontological neurosis" caused by its withdrawal. On the other hand,
the thrownness of Being is its thrownness as Self and Other simultaneously.

The Self is a sociolinguistic construct. The self only emerges within the social environment of a
linguistic community. Part of the process of learning any given task is that of the making of
subvocalized, mental notes to oneself as one is attempting to perform and master the task. So this
is here not entirely a case of learning by doing. But when it comes to learning the task of
becoming minimally competent in ones first language - this is entirely an example of learning by
doing. The understanding of what one is doing appears later after the necessary preparation of
ground.

We have here the real thing in hand and we can dispense with saying what something is like.
Our difficulties in having an authentic relationship with Being which would have powerfully
validated the self stimulates in us an impulse to hatefully gossip - to talk bad about Being.
Metaphysics is an attempt to deconstruct Being which is motivated by a dark, underlying
necrophilic urge to tear down, demystify, and demythologize the Other which seems to have
rejected us, not unlike a haughty and unapproachable, would-be lover. But it is not Being which
has done the rejecting here. Rather this necrophilic and destructive impulse, which manifests
itself in the form of a metaphysics of Being, is precipitated not through Beings callous rejection of
us, but on account of rage against impotence to intimately relate to Being.


But there is another sort of metaphor in Heidegger, a non-metaphysical one. [AND AT THIS
POINT, I AGAIN CONFESS I DON_T KNOW: I THINK DERRIDA READS HEIDEGGER
MORE WESTERN- LY THAN I, AND THIS MAY BE CORRECT_BUT SOMEONE TELL ME
SOMETHING ON HEIDEGGER, I READ HIS BEING IN SORT OF A ZEN SENSE, THOUGH
I WOULD SAY HE IS MORE INTERESTED IN AN ANTHROPMORPHIC WHOLE THAN
ARE THESE EASTERN TYPES _I GET THE STRANGE FEELING THAT I DON_T KNOW
ENOUGH TO HAVE AN OPINION, BUT THAT ON THE OTHER HAND IF I KNEW
ENOUGH TO OPINE I WOULD BE INSIDE THE DISCOURSE AND HAVE TO AGREE
WITH IT. ]

End of metalanguage, metaphysics, meta-rhetoric, but pure metaphoricity_ By now we_re talking
about famous Heidegger lectures like "The Nature of Language." Metaphors, words, are
INCISCIONS, tracings_as in wood-cuttings, gravures, engravings_and these incisions make
possible graftings, so to speak, splicings_ and BEING ITSELF IS A DIVERGENCE, A
SPLITTING, SOMETHING CONSTANTLY IN WITHDRAWAL, A BORDER [***AGAIN
THINK VALLEJO, THIS IS VERY SUGGESTIVE FOR "LINDES"]_ITS INSCRIPTION
SUCCEEDS ONLY IN BEING EFFACED (that_s the English translation, a more interesting
affirmation than the French original n_arrive qu_a s_effacer)_being happens and comes about
only in effacing itself_(there is more on this) The essence of speech is INCISION [this is
interesting, we speak of "incisive arguments" but here speech IS incision]_INCISION BRINGS
TOGETHER AND SEPARATES THE VEILING AND THE UNVEILING [now there_s a
metaphorical phrase_;)) so today, metaphor is withdrawing, splicing, un/joining. What is
happening? Rien, pas de reponse, sinon que de la metaphore le retrait se passe de lui-meme.

I have often marvelled at how the movement of Being through time is at the selfsame, identical
instant, both a passing away and a coming into being. In other words, the coming into being and
the passing away of the Self within the flux of consciousness (during each passing instant) are
grounded in the very same phenomena, and this paradox of passage is essential to the continuity of
experienced time.

Representation is grounded in the participatory and the objective is no more real than the
intersubjective. Representations are metaphors and convenient recapitulations of an open-ended
historical process. All form is metaphor; the concrete always transcends the metaphorical.
07/98

The feeling one has of the inevitability of ones existence. Whether or not th eform that this
existence takes is itself inevitable is a distinct though perhaps related question. If form is
intersubjective, then it should have little if any thing to do with ones personal identity, certainly
not its core or kernel. That I am the essence that I am is not something that could have been
determined by agreement as essences are by definition (rather then convention) not arbitrary nor
are they things, which is to say abstractions admitting of some kind of concept. To say that it
could have been possible to have been another person is to say that there is only one consciousness
which is able to take multiple forms with the result that consciousness becomes an entirely passive
attribute contributions nothing to the distinctiveness of persons or to the determination and
development of personal identity over time.

The philosopher is superior to the common man, if only because he is able to enjoy his
unhappiness. One is disillusioned, but one has the consolation of believing that one has stumbled
onto some great and noble truth. It is the type of person who is moved by mystery rather than
spectacle and who views paradox as an intimation of the emergence of some greater understanding
rather than reacting with an abrupt judgment of something's being nonsensical or ridiculous.

02/98

There is a fundamental dichotomy in the principle of motivation and of temperament here
which constitutes the deepest division existing within humankind. The two fundamental attitudes
toward the uncertain and ambiguous is that of 1) the phenomenon is all but. . . and 2) the
phenomenon is nothing but. . . In the first instance there is the tendency to understand Reality as
being organized from above and the partial glimpse of this higher reality is what sometimes is
experienced by oneself and other like minded persons as the numinous or mysterious. And in the
second instance there is the tendency to view Reality as being reducible to something which is in
principle simpler than what is at first suggested by the ambiguous appearances. This tendency is
that of viewing Reality as organized from below.

We may more succinctly characterize this dichotomy of temperament as that of the mystic versus
the necrophilous character.. The necrophilous character possesses no sense of the mystery
concerning his own existence, or if he does, represses it since it is something that he cannot at once
master and penetrate. He may well find his existence quite pedestrian and ordinary, if not
altogether wearisome. The mystic feels that there is no explanation for existence because
Reality coheres at a level above and beyond that of discursive symbols. The mystery may only be
hinted at through the use of metaphors such as pregnant images. The necrophilous character
believes that Reality possess no explanation because the words always generate more meaning
than what is actually present. The necrophile is bored with his own company. While the mystic
cannot seem to drop into the unassuming, unself-conscious mode of being which seems so natural
to his fellow humans - or if he can, he cannot do it for very long. He is continually startling
himself awake from this ordinary workaday consciousness. The necrophilous character feels
intense jealousy, usually repressed, and resentment toward the mystic. He feels quite certain that
the mystic is the grossest kind of poseur. He will try to unmask this poser who, if he turns out to
be genuine (in the sense of believing his own claptrap) must instead be disillusioned or made the
object of ridicule, not of scorn which, although altogether appropriate for the poser, is not the just
desserts of a well-intentioned, nave devotee of the central mystery. The necrophile holds a
similar attitude towards ideas. All grand and profoundly difficult ideas must be either
unmasked as false or proved to be nave, puffed up and ridiculous conceptions. The only kind
of power permissible in the mind of the necrophile is naked, brute, mechanical power - power the
origins of which are transparent and understandable, such as the power which stems from physical
might, wealth or influence. To the necrophilous character, power is merely a contrived
implement and does not have a self-existence or mysterious origin. A mysterious power cannot
be manipulated and enlisted by the necrophile to reliably aid him. Such a power cannot be relied
upon to faithfully serve the worldly interests of its would-be manipulator. Such a power might
have to be treated as an end in itself and not merely as a means to the accomplishment of the
necrophiles myopic ends. To such a power the necrophile may well be forced to give an account.
Such an awesome power threatens to force the necrophile to give an account of his life and ways.

Such a mysterious power threatens to validate an objective moral order. And this is what the
necrophilous character fears most of all. Necrophilia is not an attraction to death, in its essence.
It is rather much more, a profound fear of life, or the mystery of life, which masquerades as a love
for dark and deathly things and influences. Even such new-age notions as the higher self (in the
absence of a veritable Transcendent Other) are shunned since the growth of the self into one of its
higher forms is inconsistent with the aggrandizement of a greedy, lustful, envious, and
mean-spirited ego. The growth of the higher self, should it exist, might coincide with the pain and
loss of sovereignty of the smaller, cringing self of the necrophilous character. Nothing must be
done to cultivate the growth of the higher self and its existence must be denied to oneself but most
forcefully to others. In essence, the necrophile has pitched a rebellion against life, and is
motivated by the same impulse which caused Lucifer to lead the rebellion in heaven. This
impulse, in the form of a question, is the following: How come I didnt get to be God? If I am
not God, then how could anyone else be? And so, whenever the necrophile encounters a person
or persons seeming to embody, however, dimly, the form of the divine, these persons are
instinctively hated and despised if they cannot be safely placed beneath contempt. And so, just as
Satan represents the necrophilic God, satanism itself, therefore, is merely a particularly visible
manifestation of the necrophilous drive. The necrophile spends his life forcefully trying to deny
the existence of God by simply denying the existence and legitimacy of life in all of its myriad
forms. Beauty, Goodness, and Truth are the primary evidences of the existence of a grand design.
Although the theological argument from design is not the most logically subtle in fact it is the
least so of all of the traditional arguments for the existence of Deity, it possesses the greatest
appeal to human intuition. So the necrophile denies God through a denial of these three primary
manifestations of Divinity. And so the necrophile is preoccupied with that which is ugly, that
which is bad, and that which is a lie. It is only when the necrophile is overwhelmed by life and the
living that he retreats from a direct assault and begins seeking refuge in Death through a
preoccupation with decaying or lifeless things. The necrophile seeks protection in Death since, to
him, death constitutes the ultimate disproof of life, and hence of the divine order. The peculiar
manifestation of necrophilia, with which the term is identified in the popular imagination which
has been informed by Freudian psychoanylitic theory, is the sexual attraction that necrophilous
persons feel almost exclusively for the bodies of recently expired persons, usually of the opposite
sex. This does not constitute a positive attraction for the dead, but is merely a result of the
redirecting of an otherwise normal sexual impulse away from the living bodies of consciously
aware persons. It is perhaps the case of a merely bashful lust which seeks to relieve itself when
and where no one is looking. There is also the factor of ones power being insecure in the
presence of the mysterious and unpredictable otherness of a living sexual partner. Arounsal here
may be explained by the encountering of a situation or context in which repression of the sexual
impulse is suddenly removed. And this dynamic is mistakenly identified by the necrophile as a
positive attraction to dead persons.

Someone with nothing to hide has nothing to fear from the incisive focus of the necrophiles
gaze. But the necrophile has no real or lasting interest in an unassuming person.

The ultimate substrate of Reality, if any such "exists", would not itself be "organized" in any
ordinary sense, but would possess the unlimited capacity to manifest organization on any number
of levels.

February 1998
This reminds us of Schopenhauer's claim that the thing-in-itself lies in a realm beyond
individuation which, according to him, takes place only in the realm of phenomena. This seems
to imply that Schopenhauer believes there to be only one indeterminate, or infinite being. Leibniz
had already given an argument that God was a substance of which there could only be one.


March 1998
If the concept of appearance is understood in terms of the appearance/reality distinction,
then Divine omniscience would not permit God to experience the phenomenal without
self-limitation. Appearance is here understood as stemming as much from knowledge as from
ignorance.

Substance represents simply the most general property of Reality and therefore, if Reality is indeed
One, then there would be only one substance which would never undergo change.

But it is hard to see how this self same substance could be connected with all of the phenomenal
changes which supposedly inhere in it when there is no correlated change or transformation
occurring to this substance which could be sought as the source of the dynamics of these
phenomenal qualities. There is a similar logical difficulty in imagining the connection of two
things occupying genuinely distinct spaces or continua. One must secretly suppose that there is
some embedding meta or hyperspace grounding the relationships of two objects. It is as though
the substantial and the phenomenal belong to two entirely distinct temporal series - one in which
nothing ever happens and another in which all that exists is pure flux without any determinable
order to the play of transformations. In reality it is a misnomer to speak of transformations taking
place within this hypothesized realm of pure fluxion. For the notion of transformation
presupposes that there is something underlying and connecting different stages of the same
transformation which is common to all stages, that is, the notion of transformation itself
presupposes the existence or being of underlying substance. If transformation presupposes
substance, then perhaps so too does substance presuppose transformation. For there must be
some difference between a purely fleeting substance and an everlasting one. Rather, there must
be some meaning attached to the notion of the temporal duration of substance. The
transformation here is then simply that of the substance continuing to be what it is and not
changing. The substance is continually in the act of transforming itself into. . . itself. But if there
is no logically consistent concept of pure phenomenal change, then neither can the negation of this
concept be given a logically consistent formulation. The negation of pure flux cannot be defined
any more than can the negation of the indeterminate be defined. Within a closed system of
categories, a proposition, theorem, etc., and its negation are clearly definable. But in what kind of
system should we expect a concept to contain, or be seen as ultimately identical to, its negation?
An example of which might be the concepts of pure substance and pure flux, or transformation.

It is interesting to note that in special relativity there is no such thing as a pure matter or charge
density; only matter currents and charge currents are treated within this theory. A matter density
is only conceivable within special relativity if an infinite time dilation is permitted. So from this
standpoint, flux is the primary substrate of reality in relativity theory and energy takes precedence
over matter, since matter is not conserved within special relativity although energy is supposed to
be a conserved quantity. This trend away from the notion of substance and toward that of flux is
much further advanced within the quantum theory and still more within relativistic quantum field
theory, in which, as noted elsewhere, even energy itself is no longer treated as perfectly but only
approximately conserved, that is, on the average, i.e., over sufficiently large time intervals. One
might well wonder what indeed is the relevant conserved quantity within quantum field theory, if it
is not to be energy, that is, what serves as the conserved substance within this theory. This
conserved quantity is probability. The important question arise here of what symmetry (and
mathematical symmetry group) corresponds to a conserved probability?

We should note here that neither is energy strictly speaking conserved within classical general
relativity (as gravitational energy is not localizable within this theory) so that no consistent energy
continuity equation can be written down as a tensor differential equation; only a pseudo tensor
equation of continuity may be written down for the total energy - an equation which is, therefore
reference frame dependent.

On account of this lack of a pre-established order on the part of that which is in the business of
manifesting order, it follows that the manner in which the order is manifested is not determined in
the sense of having form, and that which underlies this manifesting is itself indeterminate. To be
determined has two related but quite different meanings, depending upon whether one is speaking
of a determined representation or a determined will. And moreover, this substrate initially
possesses radical freedom of creation and expression. But if that order which is created is to
possess any reality even if merely a relative one, then this order must act back upon the ground of
which it is a manifestation. It must possess a will of its own. This is the idea that God cannot
really grant freedom of the will to his creatures unless He gives up in the same instant, at least in
some small measure, his heretofore illimitable Sovereignty.


So real creation, that is, the creation of that which possesses its own essence and principle of being,
cannot be the bringing into being of a mere existent thing, that is, a merely abstract entity. Real
creation involves the engendering of altogether new ground possessing its own indeterminacy and
potentiality, not borrowed from the ground out of which it was determined.

April 1998
Or if borrowed from this ground, then only within our manner of conceptualizing creation
here since a truly indeterminate ground would not possess any determinate boundaries marking it
off from anything else, nor would this ground possess any identifying properties which it could
either share or not share with some other ground. So to say that there is only one Indeterminate is
not to make a positive assertion. There is only one Indeterminate Ground in the sense that there is
no possible support for the claim that the number of indeterminate grounds is greater than Unity.

So now we have the notion of relative indeterminacy. This is indeterminacy of the ground from
the point of view of that which this ground has determined. Real creation always presupposes the
production of that which can function as cocreator with that by which it has been created.

March 1998
Some forms of madness such as schizophrenia and manic depressive mania may be
manifestations of insight which are inventions rather than innovations.

Compromise may be the substance of reality.

Rather than saying that the law of excluded middle is violated, we may suppose that a
contradiction is not even possible as an abstraction - let alone could a contradiction refer to
something genuinely real.

February 1998
Nonlocal interactions should not contribute to the effective mass of a particle. When
the boundary conditions upon the quantum vacuum are altered in a manner which necessitates
nonlocal interactions, the wavefunction describing the system which is subject to these boundary
conditions will undergo a discontinuous change. This is what is familiarly termed the "collapse
of the wavefunction." This kind of nonlocal change to boundary conditions necessarily requires
the system to participate in some momentum or energy nonconserving type of interactions. If
certain interactions are not possible in the absence of the right quantities of information, then
informed action "within a system" cannot consist in merely altering the probabilities of occurrence
for some predefined event(s) in a systematic way, say, in terms of merely changing their temporal
or spatial frequencies, but must involve the engendering of radically new possibilities such that the
probabilities are not conserved for the predefined set of possibilities, say, of discrete system state
configurations. We have already discussed how all conservation laws are special cases of the law
of probability conservation. And it is the discontinuous change in the probabilities implied by
probability nonconservation which manifests itself in the form of discontinuous changes in the
quantum mechanical wave function. After all, the probabilities for each discrete system state are
merely the appropriately weighted squares of the associated state eigenfunctions. Certainly the
long recognized intimate relationship between consciousness and the quantum mechanical
wavefunction is grounded n the phenomenon of the free will of the observer performing a
wavefunction-collapsing measurement.

The jumping backward and forward in time, taking place within the individual consciousness, and
perhaps responsible for constituting its spatiotemporality, as an activity simultaneous with itself in
different times, must be mediated by nonlocal interactions taking place in each moment of the time
continuum which is in temporal self-interaction. Thus we see that the nonlocal interactions do not
experience the passage of time in the normal sense.

The Cathars, a heretical gnostic sect and secret society within Christianity during the middle ages,
believed that upon Baptism, the convert was not to receive the Holy Spirit, but his own spirit, this
person having existed up to this seminal event as a mere soulless "beast of the field.". In this
sense, the creation of Adam was simultaneous with his Baptism, i.e., God's in-breathing of His
Spirit into the form made of clay which then at once became an independently living being.
Moreover, the original sin of Adam was the besmirching of Adam's soul, but was, much more
importantly, in the cosmic scale of things, the attachment of Sin to the Spirit of God Himself which
we may surmise was to God an intolerable situation which demanded a desperate remedy, c.f, the
Book of Ecclesiaste in which it is stated that upon death the spirit returns to God who made it.
God takes the form of a man and submits to both temporal and spiritual punishment in expiation
for Sin which, although committed by man, i.e., Adam, God assumes responsibility for - perhaps
because God created the possibility for Sin to exist through His having created Man.

July 1998
In most forms of Gnosticism, the Cosmic order as exhibited through the character and
relationships of the principle persons of the Biblical Creation Story, God, His Son, Lucifer, Adam,
and to some extent also, Eve, are fundamentally inverted. An inversion of this type might be the
following. God rejects Lucifer, who exiles himself, broken-hearted from Gods kingdom, taking
up residence in the Garden in order to teach Man to outwardly realize his sleeping divinity so that
Lucifer might find a new Divinity to worship and serve. Another version is that Lucifer assumes,
as best he can, the identity of the God who has rejected him. This tack is, for Lucifer, the best
kind of solution he can find which has a chance of easing his pain of rejection. If one can become
that which one formerly worshipped and which rejected one, one may overcome the heartbreak.
Lucifer does not succeed in emulating God in His divine capacity so well as he succeeds in
emulating those sadistic and cruel aspects in God which Lucifer most intensely perceived as a
result of his profound experience of rejection by God. Adopting with respect to Man the precise
aspect of the Divines relationship with Lucifer which lead to Lucifers heartbreak - this turns into
a practical solution to Lucifers pain of rejection at Gods hand. By passing an injury received
onto another, the brunt of the psychological pain from this injury may be redirected away from the
ego. One feels powerful to the extent that one succeeds in identifying with the Other. (The
transcendental other) Beneath the surface of this emulation of the impersonality of the Other is the
transference of psychological pain received at the hands of the Other to the Other represented as
Self while the Self is at once represented as the Other. The psychological strategy adopted here is
that of trading places with ones torturers, assuming their godlike impersonality, and submerging
psychic pain through a representing of this pains being redirected to the Other as Self - with this
redirection itself disguised in the assumption of the others identity by the Self.

So the engendering of newly organized structures cannot be understood as a mere abstracting or
filtering of latent structure, that is, selection. Now this displaces the whole Darwinian paradigm -
what we might term (with Monod) as creation through the interaction of Chance and Necessity.
In a sense this paradigm assumes special creation ab initio, but instead of the special creation of a
large but discrete variety of animal species, the Neo-Darwinian paradigm very tacitly assumes a
special creation of latent order represented by the first primitive genome - or of the latent order of
the self organizing potentialities of matter which sustain its existence. In this sense, of course,
evolutionary theory does no more than can any "rational" explanation - it simply pushes the root
cause back another step. Of course, chemical evolution is assumed to have led up to the
emergence of the genome itself, but this is a kind of evolution according to another paradigm
altogether - that of self-organized complexity. Dr. Stuart Kauffman of the Sante Fe Research
Institute may well represent the leading advocate of this postmodern evolutionary paradigm.


A unit of heredity must already be available if natural selection is to have opportunity to foster
evolution. If chemical evolution did not arbitrarily cease upon the emergence of the first
primitive genomes, but continues to operate in the present epoch, then mutation of the DNA may
well not be a truly random process. Certainly the relative stabilities of various genomes will
affect how they respond to more or less identical mutation triggering events. One new technique
of determining the relatedness of two different species or subspecies of animal is to encourage
hybridization of single DNA strands taken from each and then determining the temperature at
which the hybrid DNA decomposes. By this method it had been determined that only a 1.6%
difference exists between the DNA of chimpanzees and humans. There are subspecies of bird
which are by this measure more closely related.

"Specie-ation" within a single generation is commonly observed in a large number of species of
flowering plants. The mechanism of this instantaneous speciation is termed polyploidy. In a
sense there is no real speciation taking place here. Rather, in some earlier epoch, gradually over
time, we might suppose, a phenomenon which arises as the appearance of a new species but which
we might more aptly term genera-ation has taken place. In other words, a new plant genera has
come into being which is comprised by all of the polyploidically related species, only one of which
at first manifests itself. When merely a determinate set of enabling conditions is required to
produce some new structure or function and this relationship is reproducible, then this does not at
all constitute evolution, but merely the enabling of latent order, itself requiring a legitimate
evolutionary cause. For evolution is a theory of the origin of order, not of the gradual manifesting
of a latent order which is inserted without explanation, by hand, if you will, into the process. To
wit, a genuine evolutionary explanatory paradigm will require a "mechanism" of the production of
order and not merely that of the manifesting of a pre-existent latent order which remains
mysterious. Jacques Monod has stated that the genetic code must be arbitrary. What this means
is that there can be no one-to-one functional relationship between a string of base pairs and the
protein for which it is the codon sequence. What is meant here is that the genetic code must be
context sensitive and the expression of genes must be orchestrated by not only higher order
regulatory genes, but the meaning of the genome as a whole must not be thought to be fixed for all
time, but itself must be context dependent. What this broader context might be, no one has been
able to definitively say in naturalistic terms. Order by its very nature cannot be a conserved
quantity which, like energy, can be transduced from one medium to another unchanged. This
would amount to saying that the medium does not contribute anything to the message's content
being expressed through the medium.

The genotype-phenotype opposition is not a pat one in light of the notion of regulatory genes and
epigenetics. The phenotype is proteins and their organization, i.e., the body of the organism and
its various static and deterministic traits. The static structure of the body, i.e., at a particular
moment in time is an expression of the organism concerneds DNA in its protein-coding capacity.
What then is the expression of the organisms DNA in its regulatory capacity?

The
incomplete translatability of expressions from one language into another is proof that language is
not a passive implement for the transmission of ideas and that language possesses some influence
on the process of thinking and ideating.
December 2012
If it is correct to interpret DNA, particularly
regulatory DNA and its epigenetic modifications as a language (and all evidence up to now points
to the validity fo this), then DNA is not merely the passive subject of environmental insults, e.g.,
cosmic ray impacts to its structure, which have heretofore been supposed to engender so-called
random mutations, but itself must play some role in determining the nature and implications of any
and all mutations.

The active or dynamic, as opposed to passive nature of language
points up the long suspected fact of the nature of the self as a social construction. Rationality is
the means of spanning the chasm in multiple steps, the chasm of transcendent separateness of
peculiar selves. Without language, consciousness would have forever remained unaware of itself.
It was only through a caleidescopic plurality of finite existences embedded within the socially
nutritive medium of language that a self comes to mind.
September 2011
If DNA really is a
language, then the above general observation must apply to DNA: mutations to DNA cannot really
ever be random. A worldwide consortium composed of, e.g., Epigenomics AG, Encode,
GEN-AU, EPIGENOME NoE, c.f., Epigenetics (C. David Allis) will likely map the human
epigenome by the early 2020s. What might be termed epiepigenomics: however, it may be
that "exotic" enzymatic activities shall be orchestrated from relic information no longer embodied
in genomic or epigenomic control, but now latent in networks of catalytic pathways, which also
depend in part on the self-organizing properties of atoms and molecules, the very same which
provided the motive force for the first billion years of chemical evolution, which led to the creation
of the first primitive units of heredity. So the point here is that, epiepigenomics or not, you
cant get away from the fact that the self-organizing properties of atoms and simple organic
molecules continue to remain of vital importance to evolution and to the irreducible complexity of
what happens within the cell. It may be found that these "exotic" enzymatic activities are
orchestrated from relic information that is no longer embodied in genomic or epigenomic control,
but which is now merely latent within various networks of catalytic pathways, which also depend
on the self-organizing properties of atoms and molecules the very same one, which drove the
first billion years of chemical evolution prior to the advent of the first reproducing,
information-bearing molecule. It is currently not known What defines the mechanisms conferring
inheritance and propagation of epigenetic information, c.f., C. David Allis (2007). For the most
part, transcription factor binding is transient and lost in successive cell divisions. For persistent
gene expression patterns, transcription factors are required at each subsequent cell division. As
such, epigenetic control can potentiate a primary signal (e.g., promoter stimulation, gene silencing,
centromere definition) to successive (but not indefinite) cell generations by the heritable
transmission of information through the chromatin template, c.f., Epigenomics (2007). This
mechanism greatly enhances the stability of the genome in the face of relatively transitory
environmental pressures and acts to "filter the process of natural selection".

Standard
genetic analysis of mutant alleles of the HOTHEAD gene, which regulates organ fusion in
Arabidopsis, revealed that normal rules of Mendelian genetics were not being followed (Lolle et
al. 2005). It was discovered that if heterozygous HOTHEAD/hothead plants self-fertilized and
produced a homozygous hothead/hothead plant, and then this homozygous hothead/hothead plant
was allowed to self-fertilize, the progeny from this homozygous parent reverted to a
HOTHEAD/hothead genotype at a frequency of up to 15%. This stunning level of wild-type
reversion produced an exact duplicate, at the nucleotide level, of the wild-type gene seen in the
earlier generations. This reversion was not limited to the HOTHEAD locus-several other loci had
similar frequencies of reversion to wildtype alleles. However, all the reversions required that the
parent be homozygous hothead/hothead. The gene product of HOTHEAD did not offer an obvious
explanation as to how this could occur, but discussions certainly suggested that an archival copy of
the wild-type gene was transmitted, perhaps via RNA, through successive generations. Although it
could be argued that this phenomenon is outside the purview of"epigenetics"-due to the change in
DNA sequence-the heritable transmission of the putative archived copy does not follow normal
genetic rules.
@$
Nevertheless, this phenomenon has enormous implications for genetics, especially
in evolutionary thinking, c.f., C. David Allis (2007). Here again, we see that the two pillars of
classical neo-Darwinian, namely the principles of natural selection and random mutation are
both seriously undermined by discoveries in the rapidly developing field of epigenomics.
Metadata masquerading as information is that which is transmitted, that is, moves through
3-space-1-time (classical spacetime). Because of the quantum no-cloning theorem of quantum
information theory, it is perhaps theoretically inadmissible to permit transmission of quantum
information, only quantum information tagged with inseperable Heisenberg quantum uncertainty
(at least during transmission or between transmitter and receiver). Subjective states as
information: if these are admitted as a category, then what possible interpretation could be made of
the possible significance of so-called meta-information? Meta merely in the sense offered within
the context of information reprocessing, e.g., transpersonal meanings derived from individual
human experiential information, reprocessed collectively, say, by way of an akashic record. A
proper taking into account of the limitations of language along with an analysis of the concepts of
subjective, objective and intersubjective might lead us to conclude that all substantive terms
must be replaced by the same terms interpreted in quotation marks and all terms bracketed within
quotations must be replaced by the quoted terms bracketed within double-quotes, etc. Were it the
case that all concepts are really only masquerading metaphors, then the problem of there being
no bona fide concept of consciousness becomes either 1) more or 2) less problematic! It may
turn out that Kants eccentric category of noumenon (thing in itself) encompasses thoughts as
well as physical objects.
September 2012
Mutations are pre-filtered (in the sense of operating always
prior to the operation of Darwinian natural selection) by way of the self-organizing properties of
atoms and organic molecules, as well as by the multi-level regulatory genetic structure qua
cybernetic control system of the entire genome and also by epigenetic modulation of the
expression of this genome, the specific modulation of which being itself heritable. The ultimate
filtering and selecting context for genetic mutation may be that of the downward causation of
nonlocal quantum entanglement with the quantum vacuum fluctuation field.

March 1998
Perhaps we are touching upon here the much misunderstood conception which forms the
basis of Marshal MCluhan's seminal work, The Medium is the Message.

Expression always involves the arising of information in situ, to wit, from out of time. This
reminds us of the rather interesting fact that during neural transmission, there is no physical
quantity which is actually transmitted from one neuron or neuronal complex to another. Rather, it
is a disturbance in the collective functioning of these neural complexes which is "propagating"
through the brain. But how would we begin to separate out what may be thought of as unassuming
neural functioning from what is a disturbance of this functioning? We may say that the
disturbance is always orthogonal, or at right angles to the functioning of the neurons! In this
sense, disturbances never enter the brain spatially from outside it since there is not a nonarbitrary
way of defining what constitutes the spatial boundaries of the brain, c.f., David Deutsch in this
connection. Nonlocal connectivity provides the open-ended context for all local interactions
taking place within the quantum neural network, i.e., the brain.

The communication of the left and right hemispheres cannot be modeled as appropriately

causally connected events is not as subtle as that of nonlocally connected events.

Since
superposition effects are required for objects to possess macroscopic properties, we do not expect
such objects to be capable of forming superposition states amongst themselves. This is similar to
the argument against the existence of spacetime constitutive processes taking place within a
particular spacetime continuum.

Quantum indistinguishability and the identity of particles of like kinds is perhaps related to the
distinction between the unitary evolution and the objective reduction of the wavefunction. The
hydrogen atom is the only atom on the periodic chart for which an exact solution for Schrodingers
equation exists. At what level in the hierarchy of matter does the identity of individuals of a given
kind break down?
@$
The very identity of all electrons, protons, neutrons, and other
fundamental particles strongly suggests that these particles are not real, but are mere
abstractions.

Apparently at the Planck mass level, superpositions of mutually exclusive
states of the same system are no longer possible because quantum indistinguisability breaks down
at the Planck level.

July 1998
All thought and perception originally arise as insight through an informing of mental
processes intending other objects. This informing is always a modulation of pre-existing mental
activity. Informing implies a change in global pattern of mental activity. To wit, there is never
the flow or transmission of information between different parts of the brain; there is only the
informing of the flow of data streams within the brain.

Information always sheds light on what is already known and the application of information to a
new situation cannot be generally predicted. This is the back reaction of information's content
upon itself. The effect of information upon a situation is therefore never truly reversible.
April 2011
It is for this reason that the meaning of genetic base pair sequences is not set once and for all.
Gene regulation and interpretation are always required for determining gene expression.

Although data may be associated with momentum and energy and be thought to possess
spatiotemporal location, what is called information, like gravitational energy, cannot be assigned
any physical location whatever and can be further likened to the information of a modulated carrier
wave which emanates from no particular waveguide, but resides in the very aether itself as one of
its unbidden vibrations.
December 2012
It is hard to square the quantum theoretic notion of the
conservation of quantum information with this more general property of the nonlocality of
quantum information, i.e., the fact that a continuity equation is not definable for quantum
information.

Jacques Monod has stated that the genetic code is an arbitrary one. What he means by this is that
what takes place at a series of base pairs on one segment of the DNA is unaffected by what may be
taking place on some other segment of the same molecule. It seems as though Monod is equating
arbitrariness with independence of context. But arbitrariness in this sense may indeed be
somewhat of a misnomer as what Monod is really referring to by this term is the unlimited semiosis
of the genome qua message, its sensitivity to an open-ended context. Arbitrary in the sense of
there being no fixed expression and no final interpretation, but this is not to say that any meaning
whatever can be attached to a given genetic base pair sequence. There may be an infinite or
merely indefinite number of distinct meanings that can be functionally assigned to a given genetic
base pair sequence without all possible meanings being thusly assignable and this since:
@$
1)
Cantor the infinite is hierarchically structured and 2) Godel - the provability of logico-deductive
theorems is dependent upon ones choice of axiomatic basis.

We cannot give the concept of conservation any coherent formulation for open, unbounded
systems. Neither can any continuity equation be given for the underlying processes constituting
the boundedness of closed systems, that is, for the process of the system's initial manifesting of
itself. The whole notion of quantity itself must be altogether thrown out when radically open
systems are under consideration. A ready example of which is the ineradicable difficulty in
defining the entropy of an open system. Permanence, continuity, conservation principles,
causality, substance, probability, entropy, even modality at its most general - such physical
concepts may only be conventionally or provisionally defined for closed systems, for all systems
are ultimately open, and it is only the severity of approximation which determines the extent of a
system's closedness. There is no such consistent concept as global modality.
@$
In other words,
necessity and possibility are system dependent concepts. The consolation of philosophy is very
much like that enjoyed by the fame-hungry research scientist who brilliantly conceives a theory
which proves the end of the world in the not so distant future. There are those who would be
pleased at the thought that the world was to come to an end with or soon after their death.

The truly great ideas are no less so for never having been facts within Space and Time.
When a great conception appears within the mind of the individual and never within the collective,
metaphysical work has been performed. It is only by intention or Will that any form may arise
within a reality which is truly open and unlimited. And it cannot have been by a mere chance
occurrence, for chance is what results when one closed reality impinges upon another to which it
has heretofore never been connected and where these two realities, if you will, exist as part of one
and the same closed system, c.f.,
au=
Corliss Lamonts treatment of free will.

May 1997
How, one may ask, can two closed systems exist together within another closed system
without ever having, in the infinite past interacted together? The paradox of the truly closed
system, in the sense of its being spatially closed is that, if the system has existed for an eternity
past, then this system at first glance appears to be an open four dimensional spacetime. Or it is a
closed 4 dimensional space. A closed spacetime is an incoherent notion. The very concept of
"particle" is inapplicable to an open or infinite space since no Gaussian wavepacket is definable
unless spatial boundary conditions are supplied along with initial conditions upon the wavepacket,
c.f.,
cit=
Quantum Field Theory in Curved Spacetime.
@$
It is for this reason that a particle is not
indifferent to the passage of time. Inertia is the signature of this lack of indifference.

September 1997
There is subtle contradiction at work here, however, and we are reminded of the simple
fact that standing waves cannot be set up in a string of infinite length. And this is what a closed
dynamical system is, in essence. The system necessarily possesses only a finite if large number of
distinct states which the system may be pictured as visiting in succession over and over again
endlessly. But if this system is truly closed, then there appears no objective meaning for time
spent in a particular state, the "rate" at which the system passes from one state to the next, or
number of times that the system repeats a grand cycle in which it has passed through all available
states, c.f.,
prn=
Poincare Recurrent Time. The passage of time is, as we say, always relative to an
environment with which the system in question exchanges energy. The rapidity with which a
given physical may potentially change its energy may be attributed entirely to the vacuum (its
energy fluctuations). The result of any observation, i.e., an eigenvalue, is the result of an abrupt
conspiratorial act on the part of the mind of the observer and the vacuum. Again, the classical
world of everyday objects is generated by an interaction of the observer and his vacuum - the
intricate relationship of constructive and destructive interference of the consciousness and vacuum
fields, if you will, in terms of the interaction of observer uncertainties and vacuum fluctuations for
the very same quantities. I say his vacuum because the vacuum, being infinite, cannot be a
unified thing, but must exist in infinite multiplicity. And this brings us to the subject which I
really want to speak about.

If the system was came into being at some time in the finite past, on the other hand, then it must be
a mere aggregate of elements, themselves existing from eternity past. These "elements" then
represent the openness of spacetime and, by extension, their aggregates possessing a finite
lifetime. For otherwise, these elements were themselves created out of nothing, and hence, by
extension, any later aggregations of such elements. Some element which has been created ex
nihilo has come into reality from outside and this, in turn, presupposes that reality is itself an open,
or radically open, system. So Reality must either be spatially open or temporally open and this is
to say that Reality must be an open spacetime.

August 1997
One must sacrifice clarity to express that which is somewhat beyond the ordinary. In a
way, this statement exhibits in microcosm the proposition which is elaborated below which I will
not state but which is, I think, easily enough divined on a second if not a first sympathetic reading.

Arguably the greatest analytic philosopher of all time was, if not Bertrand Russell, then the
philosopher who was for a short time Russells most brilliant pupil, Ludwig Wittgenstein.
Ludwig is famous for saying, whereof we cannot speak we must remain silent. Ludwig began
as a logical positivist and has always been thought to be the Vienna Circles greatest member
though he was actually himself never a member. Ludwig was also a logical atomist at this time,
largely as a result of Russells influence on him. The young Wittgenstein believed that
metaphysics was merely a symptom of the confusion of distinctions usually through the
unknowing equivocation of two or more senses or connotations of a word during its use within a
single argument, through the treating of metaphors or poetic notions as having literal application,
or through the making of vacuous distinctions, an example of which for you may be that of
existence versus Being, which I make use of below. Needless to say, later in life, although when
he was still well within his prime as a thinker, Ludwig reversed his view on the wholesale vacuity
of metaphysics, now referring to some of his most cherished earlier held philosophical doctrines as
themselves ludicrous, such as that true propositions correspond to facts.

Now if God has free will, then, as we said, He chose to exist. But such a choice is only genuine
provided that, in the case that God did not exist, that this too would have been His choice. So
although God may not exist (by choice), He nonetheless possesses Being, which transcends the
categories of existence vs. nonexistence. The question, therefore, is not, Does God exist?, but
is Existence in God? Whether or not Existence is or is not in God is irrelevant to the question of
Gods Being. Gods existence is an urgent moral question of judgment of the comparative value
of God and not a metaphysical question for Man. God exists, God is merely the Glimpse of the
Transcendent at the cusp joining the Transcendent to its voluntary self-limitation which is, most
generally speaking, the engendering of the possibility of a Spacetime. The Transcendent itself is
forever beyond Representation. And a reduction to its various modes corresponds to the
existence of various egos living in the world. Existence in a word is conditioned being, but being,
which is conditioned not through or within space and time, and here lies the rub so to speak.

It is true that the infinite if indeed a unity, which we have already said, is too complex to be such,
would, of course, possess the motive to enter the realm of self-limitation out of mere solitary
curiosity, as the infinite cannot enjoy the experience of limitation of any kind, such as hope, fear,
uncertainty, disappointment, betrayal separation and reunion, surprise, growth, etc. To an
infinite mind there is no distinction between truth which is trivial and that which is profound.
There is not possibility of communication since communication of information is at once the
reduction/removal of uncertainty, not a possibility for an omniscient being. For such a Being
there can be no revelation, no insight or epiphany, no sense of wonder or mystery. Aristotles
view of God by the way was that of thought eternally contemplating itself in the act of
contemplating itself.


Although existence possesses a dual opposite, namely, nonexistence; what is properly called
Being itself possesses no dual opposite. Being, however, can neither be thought to possess any
formal unity since, as we said, it does not participate in duality. Being is beyond space and time
as these are, according to Kant, mere forms of intuition out of which all more particular forms are
manifest. We have the plurality of existence which participates in the same being and we also
have the plurality of existence which participates in the plurality of being itself. It is this
distinction within plurality which necessitates the appearance of subjectivity. The plurality of
existence presupposes that a space is given. Space is not presupposed in the plurality of being.
May we say that existence participates in its being through a temporal mode, in turn, mediated by
its ground as the interface between itself and its being? But if Being opens outward, if you will,
yet remains prior to space, which is necessarily constituted out of Being, then the openness of
Being is internal to itself. Again, we are faced with Subjectivity. Being is constituted outside of
space and time; Existence is constituted within space and time and is grounded through the
limitation, self-imposed, of some unique, as opposed to particular, Being. Because Being is
incomplete in the sense of lacking any possible formal unity, including, as alluded to already, all
spatiotemporal, i.e., substantial, unity, we say that anything which possesses being only does so for
itself although a given being may exist for another being through that being's existence, which,
again, is a self-imposed limitation of itself, initiated by itself. Existence is the broadest category
which we may apply to individuals in our classification of them into sets or classes.
Existing together is the most general property which a number of individuals may possess in
common with one another. The incompleteness of Being lies in its overflowing superabundance
with respect to all possible categories of existence. But the incompleteness of Being with respect
to the categorically possible in turn implies the incompleteness of thought as the process by which
categories are brought into being. Paradoxically, the incompleteness of Being with respect to its
would-be formal unity consists not in a failure or lack, but as already asserted, in a
superabundance. What makes all Beings themselves examples of Being Itself is not some
property or attribute which all possess in common with one another, that is, what is called Being is
not a category which supervenes over its exemplars, various and unlimited in number and extent.
April 2011
It is just such a consideration that poses problems for a concept of consciousness What
makes a Being an example of Being Itself is that which is utterly unique to Itself. Being therefore
may more fully realize itself within existence, that is, within space and time, if it embarks not once,
but upon an unlimited number of separate occasions, into existence, and then may most fully unify
itself through the interaction with itself within existence. This is actually the scheme by which
Being most fully realizes itself. Each infinite Being within the infinity of infinite Beings more
fully realizes the project of the ultimate realization and unification of Being proper, i.e., Godhood,
through each entering the realm of limitation and participating with Others who have by the inner
necessity of Being's striving to unify itself have also been led to do the very same. The metaphor
which we will apply here is the impulse to escape the condition of Cosmic Loneliness which Being
may overcome only through its own limitation. So rather than the fragmenting of the infinite,
which is assumed to already be solitary and hence already unified, in entering the realm of
limitation in order to embark upon the project of reunification of itself within Time which is mere
re-creation, or, if you will, recreation, we have instead the very serious and real project of the
unification of that which, though infinite, is not itself exhaustive or unified. This project is
genuine creation, not a mere recreational recapitulation. This is because the act of limitation
which each Infinite Being imposes upon itself is not an act of limitation in the sense of mere
negation for this would imply that this Being could recoup itself through the simple act of negating
the negation and, again, the original act of limitation is seen for meaningless play and without
power to connect this Being to Another. The limitation undergone by Being must not be based in
terms of negation within itself. This is consistent with one of the outstanding properties of the
infinite: no finite reduction of the infinite diminishes it. Real Sacrifice is necessitated in the act
of contacting the Other. One does this in the faith that the Other is doing the same. This is the
beginning of Fear and of Hope. Hope leads the self into greater community with others while fear
leads the self to retreat away or alienate itself from this community, perhaps through attempting to
injure it. This is why real achievement cannot be accomplished without the entailment of real
risk. There is the risk that if one limits oneself so as to enter Space and Time in the hope of
achieving community, one will forget one's original sacred purpose, based in the aboriginal desire
of the true Self, and enter with others into an economy instead. Economy may be thought of as
false community in which each treats the other not as an end in himself, but as a means to the
fulfillment of the unenlightened ends of the false self-concerned only with its incestuous interests
the pursuit of which do not permit the occurrence of authentic growth. Those few who have fallen
from the Infinite who have not lost all connection with it or who have rediscovered this connection
through having learned to contact it; those persons are forcefully impressed with the all important
need to help the others remember this connection and so to prevent them from being lost. The
idea of being saved is not that of regaining eternity - for one has already willingly left this state
with all of the very real risks and sacrifices necessarily entailed by this foolhardy act. No. One
must regain eternity but without the cosmic loneliness of pure individuality or the oblivion of
absorption in some impersonal, transcendental unity
06/98
, and this means an everlasting life of a
loving community of individuals all helping each other in the achievement of this goal which will
never be perfectly attained. The infinite must thrust itself into the unknown to meet with the
wholly other which it seeks and which can be the only satisfaction of its quest. One must so to
speak be born. We see that the project of Being is that of community and not that of mere Unity.
This project is of necessity inherently meaningful. In the absence of the self limitation of the
infinity of infinite Beings necessitated by each casting itself down into the Realm of Space and
Time, No one may communicate with the Other so as to enact the project of Community. Love of
the Other as an end in Itself and not merely as a means to the realization of one's own ends is
composed of two parts. One must not only love the Other as one's Self, one must love one's Self
as Other. Objectivity is necessarily intersubjectivity. Creation of that which possesses real
existence can only be accomplished in cooperation with other persons. Creation within the Self
alone is akin to the mere endless shuffling of elements already given. What presides over or
integrates the infinity of infinite beings is the one thing which all of these beings possess in
common with one another: the profound need to complete themselves through the sacrifices of
losing themselves in something in common with another or others and acquiring with them desired
community. That which prompts this sacrifice is Love. We said earlier, you will recall,
that Ground determines Itself as Other. The ethics and morality implied by this doctrine is
certainly worth investigating.
April 2011
There is contrary to the implied ethics here that ethic based
upon the notion of universal brotherhood. A true ethics necessitates doing what is right not as a
means to an end, but as Kant says as an end in itself. Certainly if individual consciousnesses are
exemplars of such on account of what is unique to each, rather than what is common to all, then
doing right by the other involves the sharpest form of ethics imaginable. As Ayn Rand says, any
system of ethics is based on
and derived, implicitly or explicitly, from a metaphysics.

The other that is wholly other is truly a moral end in itself.

Limitation is not a circumstance that consciousness just happens to find itself in, but is an act.

April 1998
The solitary finite is a superficial abstraction which logically implies the possibility of the
existence of other finite beings. Ethics and morality possess application and meaning within a
social context but one which is transcended by the solitary infinite.

Consciousness is not a medium, among other media, of experience. Experience is always
individual rather than collective.

Now an open space-time cannot possess a determinate spacetime topology, by arguments
presented elsewhere. The appearance of stable topological structures, therefore, must be
sustained through patterns of fluctuation in spacetime topology which are engendered from
outside any spacetime. Each particular global topology, itself a closed system of spacetime
though extending, perhaps, billions or tens of billions of light years, must possess its own unique
configuration energy, just as transitions from one topology to another have their characteristic
energy differences. Since both Schrodinger's wave equation of motion, as well as Einstein's
gravitational field equations, presuppose an already given spacetime topology, transitions from
one topology to another will not be describable by the wave equation, nor will the characteristic
energy of a particular topology, i.e., the power input required to sustain this topology in existence
for a period of time, be included as a gravitational source term for the field equations. Clearly,
gravitational source terms interact according to general relativity only if they are contained within
the self same topological manifold and so fluctuations in the sub-microscopic topology of
spacetime, or the energy intrinsic to such fluctuations, must not be included in the gravitational
source term, Ti,k, of the Einstein field equations.




02/98

Now fluctuations in the energy of the quantum vacuum must be extremely violent before
expecting any gravitational effects. In other words, the energy of the vacuum fluctuations must
approach the Planck energy before we are forced to give consideration to Quantum Gravity theory.
But again, it is at precisely this stage at which spacetime topology begins fluctuate non-negligibly
and potential source terms for Ti,k begin to "slip through the cracks." Considerations such as this
may provide a natural explanation for the alleged high energy cutoff of the gravitational source
term within theories such as Sakharov's.

QQ: Is establishment of the global spacetime metric equivalent to the establishment of a
spacetime topology? No. 1/98

6/97 Because causal relationships are always describable in terms of sets of differential
equations, these relationships must be supposed to inhere within a continuously differentiable
manifold of determinate topological structure. Alterations in the topology of a continuously
differentiable manifold cannot be described by a set of differential equations definable on the
original manifold. This is why we do not expect that the energies of the submicroscopic
topological fluctuations may comprise a contribution to a gravitational source term in the Einstein
field equations. A supermanifold must ground the transformation of one topology into another
nonequivalent topology such that this topological inequivalence is ultimately reducible within the
supermanifold of higher order topological structure which remains constant throughout the lower
order topological transformation. The formalism of General Relativity is not equipped to
describe such a topological supermanifold.

7/97 This reminds us of attempts to ground the discontinuous change in the wavefunction
which in between measurements evolves deterministically according to the Schrodinger equation
of motion in terms of some nonlinear time-dependent version of the S-eqn.

Notice that the transformation of one topology into a nonequivalent one necessitates a breaching of
the original topological manifold introducing discontinuities which prevent the existence of any
bridge functions being defined mediating the transformation which possess continuous
differentiability. No consistent solutions to a given set of differential equations exists if the only
possible solutions are functions which are themselves not continuously differentiable. All
topological transformations must be described in terms of bridge functions which cannot be
defined on the manifolds being transformed and so all topological transformations must be
mediated from outside all manifolds of determinate topological structure taking part in the
topological transformations. Since a metric presupposes an embedding topological manifold,
geometrodynamic fluctuations in spacetime topology cannot be described within general relativity
theory.

Projections of topological transformations in a given space onto a subspace may present
the appearance of nontopological transformations within the smaller space. If a chance event
yields meaning and significance, it is only because of a common, underlying (concrete) ground of
the two things connected. The truly concrete, that is, the ultimate ground of Being, cannot be
divided, but can only appear so. To entertain the notion of two separate grounds, themselves
possessing no underlying and still more ultimate ground connecting them in the sense of making
them, one with the other, (substantially) continuous, is to set up definitions in a manner which
invites self-contradiction. We know that the action by which the continuum of space and time
are constituted presupposes a kind of temporality, but one without scale or direction in which the
connectivity of the pre-phenomenal is internal but at once without boundaries.

7/97 Delayed choice experiments discussion here.

We have characterized the mental as containing structure which is organized in a top-down
manner and the physical as containing structure organized in a bottom-up manner. Another way
of characterizing the distinction between the mental and the physical is: the continuum of mind
possesses an inside but no outside while the physical possesses an outside but no inside, c.f.,
decoherence, Rindler horizon, irreducible complexity, Planck mass limit, one-graviton limit, etc.
April 2011
If Penroses one-graviton limit could be shown to be reached much earlier than the level
presented by the Planck mass energy level of quantum fluctuation, then this lower energy
threshold could be used to calculate the number of distinct, non-communicating vacua which
comprise the global/ cosmo-logical vacuum. This number of distinct quantum vacua could
perhaps be equated with the number of distinct consciousness capable of reducing the
wavefunction. On this view how might we interpret the phenomenon of the quantum
superposition of distinct vacua.

The ground of Being which transcends the distinction of mind vs. matter must then possess both an
inside and an outside but where the boundaries between inside and outside cannot be determinate,
but must be both indistinct, and when glimpsed, fluctuating. If Jesus never "existed," would the
account of his "life" as told of in the Bible be any less significant for those who believe in Him?
The origin of all great ideas is ultimately the same, regardless of the particulars of their earlier
historical manifestations.

The distinction between gentile and Jew consists in this: the Jew does not think that Jesus
was the Christ whereas the gentile does not think that Hitler was the antichrist. The Jew looks to
the establishment of the Kingdom upon the Earth. The Gentile looks to this Kingdom being
established in Heaven. Human intelligence has evolved to a point just short of that required to
conceive a genuinely interesting thought. The proposition that, " there is no such thing as
absolute truth," is itself a proposition which can only be true in a relative sense, since this
proposition includes itself in its sweeping reference, and therefore in an absolute sense, this
proposition is false; consequently, absolute truth exists.

5/97 But may we, therefore, say then that "absolute truth exists" only provided that certain
conditions obtain? Since, as demonstrated above, the contradictory to this, "absolute truth does
not exist," is a true proposition only provided certain conditions, i.e., this proposition is only true in
a relative sense, we are, again, landed in a contradiction. Perhaps the condition which must be
provided for the proposition that absolute truth does not exist to be true is that single condition
where no absolute truth exists. But if existence is merely unconditioned, transcendent Being with
certain conditions added, then absolute truth, if it "exists," would never actually exist though it
would possess unconditioned Being. Let proposition P be: absolute truth does not exist. P
implies, through the implicit self-referentiality of P, that <> ~P. P does not actually imply that [ ]
~P, since ~P might be true, but only conditionally. But can the conditional truth of the
proposition that absolute truth exists, i.e., that ~P is conditionally the case, be given a coherent
meaning?

11/97 In other words, is it meaningful to speak of contingent necessity? Surely in the sense of
the necessity of physical law, since we can imagine the physical laws having been structured
differently than they are in this Universe. But what about for necessity in the sense of logical
necessity? For that matter what about the contingently possible? These complex or metamodal
categories may only make sense if the law of excluded middle is itself made conditionally true as a
law of logic.

To say that "absolute truth exists" is itself conditionally true is to suppose that although
Reality is One, it might equally well have been a Many, or to hold the supposition that although a
Many, Reality might well have been a One. Which ever of the two ontologies happens to be the
case may depend upon conditions outside of the Real, provided that Reality is a Many for there is
no "reality itself" in this case. But if Reality is a One, then the necessary conditions for this fact
would be contained within the One Itself, which would therefore possess self-existence. So if the
One exists conditionally, it does so in name only; in Reality, the One has absolute existence: if a
One exists, it must have always existed. But this is merely to refer to the One in its temporal
aspect of everlastingness. Have we also demonstrated that if a One exists, it not only must have
always existed (in Time), but it exists necessarily, i.e., the One, if it exists, could not possibly have
not existed? We cannot ask whether the Many might not have existed, since this would be to
implicitly refer to this Many as if it were secretly, in actual fact, a One.

2/97 This deduction, if valid, seems a bit vacuous. If one is not willing to accept what appears to
be a rather dubious bit of logic-chopping, one might nevertheless readily concede that the premise
that there is no absolute truth at least presupposes, if only as a category, the existence of what it
expressly denies. In this way it is seen that the premise is better formulated to fit its intended
assertion if it were to read, "the category, absolute truth, is, not instantiated," or, perhaps, what is
intended in the original formulation is the stronger assertion, "the category of absolute truth is
necessarily not instantiated." But this is to admit, again, its existence. The proof of a truth, on
the correspondence theory of truth, consists in the instantiation of an existential claim. The proof
of a truth, on the coherence theory of truth, consists in the conceivability of a propositional claim,
which may, or may not, make an additional existential claim. There are two distinct varieties of
impossible existence: the category proposed of thing is, itself, unintelligible, or, the category is
intelligible, however, it is necessarily not instantiated - ever. The concept of coherence of an
unbounded system presupposes that unity is not a necessary condition of for coherence. This
brings up the puzzling question of necessary nonexistence. Can anything which has never existed
before some time in the infinite past nevertheless come into being at some future time? To
answer in the negative implies that anything which exists now must have already existed in the
past on an unlimited number of previous occasions in an eternally recurring closed system of
events. But this cannot be the case for a reality possessing openness and temporality. So the
non-occurrence of a given event or non-existence of a given thing during the infinite past does not
imply its necessary non-existence. But is some event or thing possible even if it has never
occurred or existed in the past and even though it will never exist at any time in the future? Such
questions may only appear to be asked; in actuality such questions cannot be asked because a
reference is being made to something indeterminate as though it were a definite entity - in this case
the infinite past or future. The infinite past or future cannot be thought to contain a determinate
set of objects such that meaningful statements may be made about what either is or is not a member
of either set. It has been remarked that it is necessarily impossible for any person to form a
complete description of the world which contains him due to the necessary upcropping of an
infinite regress of successive descriptions. But if at some future time the person forming the
description no longer exists, then the above logical difficulty is removed and a merely practical
(but insuperable) one placed in its stead. This hypothetical person may form a complete
description of the future without fear of being embroiled in infinite regress.

10/97 But the forming of a description of one's mental state, which is what forming a complete
description of the world ultimately comes to, consists only in an act of determination of one's
mental state which is its own description although inconceivably enlarged in its representational
content. For this is the most that a complete description of reality can mean if it is to be a real
description in the sense of a possible object of knowledge, that is, experience. But such a
determination of a superhuman mental state (superhuman, if it is to encompass Reality as a whole)
must arise from something altogether outside of the description itself, if the above infinite regress
is to be avoided. And so a so-called complete description of Reality must arise from that which
possess no description and the mechanism of this act by which this description is arrived at cannot
be contained within the description - again, in order to avoid the vicious regress. And so the
process by which the indeterminate determines itself is, itself, indeterminate, which is to say,
acausal. Not all of the description may be representational but must contain a nonrepresentational
component. There must be something underlying and supporting these representations as
appearances which cannot be included in the "complete" description.

Now assuming that ones state of consciousness corresponds to a particular brain state, then
we might suppose that someone or something must know that the brain is in that particular state in
order for the proper subjective mental state to be manifest, i.e., one which represents the actual
state which the brain presently occupies. In other words, the brain state must refer to something
beyond its own literal structure. To avoid any enlisting of supernatural agencies, we must
suppose that the consciousness manifest by the brain results from the brain somehow looking at
itself to see what state it is in so that, if you will, the brain can know how it feels, that is, what its
subjective state is. The point is that this idea leads to an infinite regress if we assume that the
brain represents a closed system. A so-called state can only possess a concrete, as opposed to a
merely abstract, significance if it is placed within an open context, itself not consistently treatable
as a state or superstate, if you will. The attempt to impose a state description upon a temporally
evolving dynamic, i.e., a open system, leads to a system which changes its state
nondeterministically. The origin of the fluctuation Hamiltonian of a quantum mechanical system
owes generally to describing the system with a merely approximate Hamiltonian leading to an
approximate system wavefunction. The system undergoes transitions between its various
approximate eigenenergies due to the outside influence of the fluctuation Hamiltonian, H
fluc
. The
quantum system with its fluctuation Hamiltonian is just an abstraction from the open-ended energy
context of the quantum vacuum field itself, for when all sources of real particles and fields have
been taken into account in the construction of the system Hamiltonian, a certain small fluctuation
term remains which cannot be absorbed into the system Hamiltonian so as to define a purely
time-independent system. This fluctuation term is owing to the existence of a quantum vacuum
zero-point energy field. It is this term, what we will call, H
zpf
, which prevents any quantum
system from ever existing in a true energy eigenstate with ,

=
0
e
-i

And this is why we have been saying that the fluctuations in vacuum energy are the cause of the
time-dependent evolution of quantum systems generally.

But because the future is not determined, it does not constitute a definite category; we can only
meaningfully refer to events which may or may not take place at a future time and not to events
which will or will not occur.


01/98 There is not a unique connection in the sense of a one-to-one function between internal and
external representations, as the connection here is determined completely through feedback
between the neural network and its environment. The reason for this is that language is only
capable of conveying distinctions and similarities, relationships of class inclusion/exclusion.
In other words, the relationship of language to the external world is a strictly formal symbolic one.


It is a peculiar characteristic of language that we are so able to discuss things without precisely
knowing what they are about and frequently part of the reason for our discussion of them is just so
that we can clarify their meaning. There are two distinct views of this clarification process.
One, that we start with a vague notion and then apply theoretical or semantic constraints in orer to
more sharply define it so as to make it serve the purpose we have in mind. The other, is that the
notion in a latent sense already exists in all the golory of its particularitybut must be extracted from
an obscuring tangle of related concepts. The one view is that this clarification process is one of
the constructing of categories, the other, one of making distinctions between categories which we
already possess.


10/97 There are a number of difficulties with McTaggart's famous proof of the unreality
of Time. The proof presupposes that the predicates, past, present, and future may be treated
entirely on an equal footing as categories. I believe this is fundamentally mistaken because past,
present and future may be distinguished by the fact that the past is determined, the present is the
activity of the past determining itself, or of the present determining itself as past, whereas the term
"future" does not refer to a determinate category at all, that is, if Reality is, indeed, an open system
as we have argued for extensively thought this text. Even the past itself may not be so easily
characterized as determinate since the past, at the time it was present, may not have succeeded in
fully determining itself as past at the precise moment in which that heretofore present moment
determined itself as a forever past moment. We may then distinguish two presents, what we may
term the temporal present and the eternal present. The temporal present is that part of the present
which itself fully succeeded in determining itself as past within some previous present moment.
The eternal present, on the other hand, is that component of this identical present moment which
existed in all previous present moments and which may well exist in all succeeding present
moments, namely that component which never succeeds in determining itself as past, but which
may therefore be thought to have the essential role in determining the present as past in every case
of temporal succession of moments. There is, of course, nothing to prevent the existence of a kind
of present which falls somewhere between these two extremes of the temporal and eternal present.
For example, part of the indeterminate with which some present moment is continuous may not
succeed in determining itself as past before the next succeeding moment, but may succeed in doing
so at some later moment. Of course, in a completely closed universe, in which time is completely
reversible and possessing no intrinsic scale, the earlier/later distinction of the B series is undercut
while the distinction between past, present and future is likewise undercut within the A series.

If reality is an open system, then not only the present, but also the past, must possess temporality.

5/97 Now doesn't the mere non-empty existence (in the sense only, perhaps, in which
mathematical entities "exist") of a category presuppose the possibility of its being instantiated?
The answer to this is: only in the case where a coherence theory of truth is adopted, i.e., where the
coherence theory of truth corresponds to actual nature of truth! Apparently, the Coherence
Theory of Truth cannot be true in an absolute sense for absolute truth smacks of correspondence.
We are here inquiring into the truth about the Truth.

As we suggested earlier, the mere intelligibility of a mathematical or logical proposition
seems to imply the truth of some proposition of the same type. But according to the
mathematician Kurt Godel, this is not really true, since one can always define mathematical or
logical propositions which through a peculiar self-referentiality can neither be determined to be
true or false. Or if, on the other hand, all true theorems may be proved true and all false theorems
proved false within a particular axiomatic system of inference, then it must also be possible to
"prove" certain false theorems true as well as certain true theorems false within this same system.
The system in this case is referred to as being inconsistent.

If truth in mathematics and logic is entirely by construction, then such propositions, if they
cannot be demonstrated to be true or false must be neither and hence the law of excluded middle is
here violated. To save the law of excluded middle, which is a broader law than that of mere
noncontradiction, we must admit the "existence" of mathematical and logical propositions which
are true in a manner other than "by construction." This is to admit that the truth of certain
theorems may only be "seen" through the operation of intuition. The truth of theorems would not
be in this case always communicable. It is interesting to note that an algorithm can only
demonstrate the truth of theorems which are themselves "communicable." The communication of
such theorems would be, of course, in the form of a transmission of data concerning their proof by
construction. The realization of the truth of a noncommunicable theorem would be through an act
of informing through an act of cognition. The intuitive demonstration of the truth of a
noncommunicable theorem would take place through two acts: the formulation or articulation of
a particular theorem and then its interpretation such that the theorem manifests its truth to the mind
conceiving it. It may be that the conceiving of the statement of the theorem is simultaneous with
the preparation of the imaginative ground from which its truth will be intuited.

This is similar to the statement that there are algorithms which can be implemented in a
parallel data process which cannot be represented as a sequence of discrete logical operations. A
metaphor for this is the existence of theoretical mating positions on a chessboard which cannot be
constructed in the sense of never coming about through over the board play, but which can
nevertheless exist as an appropriate arrangement of black and white chess pieces on a chessboard.
It would only be through a violation of the rules of play for such a mating position to be generated
by "over the board play," which is to say, returning to our metaphor, that the construction is false of
a theorem which is true in reality. For instance, in one example of such an invalid "construction,"
one might allow the white King and Knight to occupy the very same square on the chessboard in
order that mate of the enemy King might be effected on white's very next move.

If one
could demonstrate that Godels proof of his Incompletness Theorem possesses a serial structure of
deductive steps, which is secretly violated by the simultaneous insertion of two or more deductive
steps, then the proof could in this way be overturned and demonstrated to be invalid.

One must have information about how to process data to engender new information. For
information to be "processed," it must first be converted into data and then this data processed
through interpretation based upon information about this data. The conversion of information
into data and its reconversion back into information does not usually result in the reconstitution of
the original information. Data are coded information, but information is not simply decoded data.
The mutual interconversion of data and information cannot be understood in terms of a strictly
causal process since the conversion of each into the other is overdetermined. This is because
strict causality presupposes reversibility, among other things (such as reproducibility) and one
cannot insist that a process be at once causal and overdetermined as the reverse of an
overdetermined process is an underdetermined process which is inherently acausal.

Data and real energy, are interdefinable since both are functions of closed systems which are
themselves interdefinable. Neural processes directly involving real particles and fields pertain to
the processing of object-oriented data, i.e. intersubjective data or data of differentiated
(discursively symbolic) representations. Subneural, or neuronal, processes directly involving
virtual particles and fields pertain to integration of data required for constitution of objective
space-time, the constituting of the will or intention of action, and the processing of nonlocally
connected data into participatory context-dependent, non-representational information. We will
never be able to say how human consciousness comes into being, but we can meaningfully
speculate about "why human consciousness?" We can only answer the "how question," partially
through identifying additional necessary conditions for individual consciousness. But there can
be no finite sum of necessary conditions constituting a sufficient condition for the occurrence of
consciousness.
@$
This is because the necessary conditions are actually only boundary conditions
which, as we said earlier, are necessarily spatiotemporal. These boundary conditions apply to a
dynamic process not itself confined to any particular spacetime continuum. The sufficient
conditions for consciousness lie with both the boundary conditions and the dynamical process
constrained by these boundary conditions. We may say that virtual particle processes do not
constitute real particle processes but that real particles and fields act as imposed boundary
conditions upon the overdetermined vacuum processes resulting in the appearance of virtual
processes mimicking the real processes. The real and virtual processes must be constituted
together or not at all. This is an application of the principle of irreducible complexity.

December 1997
In any causal sequence there is the question of whence the terms of the sequence
generally arise. The determination of an effect possess two perhaps fundamentally distinct parts:
1. the determination of one token in the causal sequence by that token immediately preceding it
and 2. the determination of the types of which each are merely tokens. This distinction between
types and tokens of the terms of a causal sequence reminds us of the distinction made by Kant of
that which constitutes the ground of possible experience versus that which constitutes the ground
of a particular experience the possibility of which is assumed to be granted.

But moreover, because categories are necessarily abstract and the entities to which they
refer are concrete, the concrete individual may instantiate the category but it is also a continuous
instantiation of a continuum of certain refinements of the said category.

5/97 It must be admitted, however, that this continuum is itself an abstraction, if it is not
unique, that is. That which is unique may not be thought of as composed of nonunique elements.
That phenomenon which is reproducible may be reductively explained in terms of entities
occupying the next lower level of organization. A truly unique phenomenon is an expression of a
level of organization higher than the level it occupies because it must be a manifestation of an open
system of relations. Relations which, within a closed system are abstract, presuppose "concrete"
entities between which these (external) relations subsist. Within an open system, entities are
necessarily abstract and presuppose a pre-existing set of (internal) concrete relations.

What we cannot say is what exactly is the trajectory of this continuous instantiation of this
continuum of categories. This line of thought seems to presume that the abstract and the concrete
are not disjoint but toward opposite ends of a continuum. Hence, both are abstractions from the
continuum and both are concrete elements along the continuum. If this is the case, then the
continuum itself is neither an abstraction of form from some concrete medium, nor is it a
concretization of some pre-existing set of abstract relations. The subjective mental states of other
minds simultaneously possess objective existence as things. The otherness of other minds' sense
data is just as remote as the otherness of objects within the noumenal realm.
June 2011 @$
The
nominally dual categories, mental vs. physical are complicated by the fact that each individual
consciousness must regard the mental states of other minds as not fundamentally distinct from
physical states and moreover not fundamentally distinct from the mental states of other other
minds.

3/97 There are, however, two predominant schools of thought on the subject of truth. The first
is termed the correspondence theory of truth. The second is known as the coherence theory of
truth. If reality is bottomless, so to speak, that is to say, open, then it is clear that a coherence
theory of truth implies that an absolute truth, that is, a timeless, eternal truth, cannot exist. This is
because just as a merely relative coherence-truth refers to a particular system of relationships
cohering in equilibrium for a limited period of time within a limited domain, an absolute coherence
truth refers to a universal system of relationships cohering in equilibrium throughout the whole of
reality for all time. But an open-system cannot constitute a whole of any kind; the all is not
definable in such an open system and no truly static system of relationships can exist within it.
Unless this system was closed temporally, only opening itself to temporally through its own action
and not the action of any process outside of itself.
August 2000
An open-system does not possess a
possible complete description and so must always be undergoing temporal evolution with no
universal direction of time being definable for this system. Absolute Truths are inadmissible, by
definition, within coherence truth theories, in other words. The theory of truth termed
Pragmatism may be thought of as a lesser, third contender. Without the possibility of a universal
direction of time (because Reality is an open system due to an indeterminate ground), time must
be, not merely multidimensional, but infinite dimensional. An isolated system, possessing only
a finite number of distinct states, cannot admit the existence of solutions involving multiple time
dimensions, e.g., f = f(t1, t2, t3, . . . ). Additional dimensions of time within closed dynamic
systems are always reducible to a dynamism in which temporality is simplified to a single temporal
dimension but at the expense of a more complicated dynamics within the single time dimension.
What introduces the ineliminable necessity of additional dimensions of time is the breaking in
upon the heretofore closed dynamic system from outside itself. In other words, the introduction
of additional spatial dimensions must always be accommodated by the appearance of an equal
number of temporal dimensions.
June 2011 @$
The intersubjective component of the subjective time
dimension of each individual consciousness is parallel to the intersubjective component of the
subjective time dimension of any other individual consciousness. However, the subjective time
dimension of each individual consciousness is orthogonal to that of any other such consciousness.

5/97 The highest dimension of time always supervenes over the "lower time dimensions,"
spatializing them. Insofar as time for a temporal interval possesses direction, throughout this
interval the temporal interval is spatial. If local directions of time can be reconciled over larger
domains, that is, fitted to a supervening time direction over this larger domain, then these local
time dimensions are spatializable. And so any spacetime must have only one time dimension,
although it may possess any number of spatial dimensions. This is to say that an open system, a
truly open one, that is, what we have termed earlier a "radically open system," must not be open
merely through the breach of a boundary as any boundary is open to two spaces which together
define it. This we will term a spatially relative boundary. Where a time dimension becomes
involved we obtain a boundary not definable by opposing spaces, one finite, the other infinite.

Might the brain of an individual human be merely an Atman-Brahman interface device.

Local causal interactions obtain between the expectation values of given physical
observables. Nonlocal causal interactions obtain between the instantaneous values of physical
observables, i.e., is responsible for the existence of correlations between fluctuations.
Expectation values of an observable can only be defined when the wavefunction in question, from
which these values are derived, is bounded in space and time. Measurement of a quantum
mechanical observable presupposes the presence of boundary conditions on the wavefunction
representing the system in question. In this case, the wavefunction may be represented as a finite
superposition of eigenfunctions of that observable. If a wavefunction is unbounded, then is must
be represented as a continuum of an infinite superposition of eigenfunctions.

7/97 These eigenfunctions of such an infinite superposition cannot be individually
normalized without the artifice of the delta Dirac function being included within the normalization
integral. In other words, the eigenfunctions within a superposition continuum cannot be
represented within a Hilbert space. Consequently, Hilbert's action minimalization integral cannot
be computed for a system represented by a continuum of eigenfunctions, i.e., for an unbounded
wavefunction, and so such a system cannot be described by Einstein's gravitational field equations,
since the field equations and the Hilbert action integral are precisely equivalent. We are saying
that the stress-momentum-energy tensor, Ti,k,may only be nonvanishing provided that this
tensor's associated eigenfunction is spatiotemporally bounded. The fundamental fluctuations in the
vacuum's momentum-energy represent just the sort of unbounded action for which an action
minimization integral cannot be defined.


12/97 An important observation in this connection is the fact that the gravitation energy in
General Relativity cannot be localized in the specific sense that when one attempts to include the
gravitational energy in the total stress-momentum-energy tensor of the field equations, a
pseudotensor results which is not generally covariant. The energy of this pseudotensor is only
conserved in certain specific coordinate systems, such as in harmonic coordinate systems.
Parallel transport of a small volume in which the total energy is defined by this pseudotensor is not
generally reversible and we do not here have a conservative force. It has been said that the
inverse-square law breaks down in strongly curved spacetimes. This fact may well be related to
the problem of the localization of gravitational energy within the theory of General Relativity.
Thermodynamically, the vacuum momentum-energy field constitutes an exemplar par excellence
of a thermal heat bath, the interaction with which by any other energy system will result in the
appearance of irreversibility within this system's temporal evolution. We note here that the
temporal evolution of the Schrodinger equation is, strictly speaking, reversible. Also, we noted
elsewhere the very close similarity between the Schrodinger and Diffusion equations; more
particularly, that a mere substitution of it = t' within the Schrodinger equation transforms it into the
Diffusion equation.

Paradoxically, to assert the truth of a given proposition categorically, is to say that the proposition
is true under all possible conditions, including the very special condition of no conditions, i.e.,
without qualification - of any kind. Language is the medium of communication between distinct
minds; it is not the process by which thought originates as such within an individual mind. Why
then, does each intelligent individual possessing the gift of language seem to require its use in
order to, not merely formulate a thought for himself, for this is always potentially with
intersubjective communication in view, but to have knowledge of what he, himself, is thinking at
the present moment? It is because, secretly, intersubjective communication is taking place within
the individual, that is, between himself at the moment certain data were originally interpreted and
stored in his brain as a quantity of information and the present moment, when he is in a somewhat,
and perhaps substantively, different unified mental state. The mental process by which the
present mental state of the individual is bound together into an integral whole, i.e., presentation,
and which underpins his immediate experience of what has been termed the "specious present" is
wholly prior to the phenomenon of language. Language is always re-presentation. When one is
trying to remember a thought one has had earlier one is casting about permutationally and
combinationally and a flux of words and phrases bubbles into consciousness; it seems that the less
one is sure of what one is trying to remember, the more one relies upon these subvocalizations in
the attempt to remember. On the other hand, when one suddenly has a clear insight or conceptual
breakthrough, one simply experiences a kind of penetrating feeling of new understanding, initially
without words. Later, when one must communicate the insight to others, or to make sure one does
not forget the insight, one commits it as best one can to a formulation in terms of words.

November 1997
To adopt a conceptual framework, entertain new ideas within this framework, and to
eventually transcend this framework, does not bring one back to the position which one's thought
occupied prior to taking up that particular framework of thought. This is the fundamentally
irreversible and creative nature of thinking. One's thinking can be outside of a particular
theoretical framework in two fundamentally distinct ways: one's thinking may take place prior to
the realization of a theory and one's thinking may ensue after having set aside this theory. These
two different processes of thought which take place in the absence of a given theoretical or
conceptual framework cannot be equivalent. This is, again, the irreversibility of determination of
thought through the application to it of abstract categories. Traditional logic does not take this
irreversible temporality of thought into its account. The law of excluded middle is valid only for
thought removed from its temporal context and is valid only for thought which is temporally
context-free. This is why thought in its essence is a fundamentally creative process which
cannot be captured within a timeless or context-free, which is to say, formal or purely abstract
description. Here de-scription may be likened exactly to de-coding. However, what might be
termed scription is not the same as encoding. The encoding of a cipher is always overdetermined
while the decoding of a cipher is always underdetermined. In a deterministic data manipulation,
there exists neither over- nor underdetermination of data. Encoding is the representation of the
open-ended within the closed. Decoding is the representation of the closed within the
open-ended.

This suggests that there are two distinct species of existence, relative and absolute.
Absolute existence is unconditioned existence. Relative existence is conditioned existence.
When one asks the question, "does God exist?," one is merely asking whether He exists or does not
exist in a conditioned relative sense, i.e., in the sense in which black holes, people, animals,
subatomic particles, etc., exist. We are then asking whether God exists merely as one particular
being among other particular beings. Now God, as a peculiar being, may well not exist. To exist
in the fullest sense in which that word, exist, refers, is to possess being in a strictly qualified,
conditional sense, that is, within space and time. Being, itself, is that which always underlies
mere existence. Being, itself, transcends the categories of existence and non-existence. That
there must be absolute truth cannot be true unless there is something which constitutes this
absolute truth as such. This something which constitutes the absolute truth as such cannot merely
be the proposition that there is no such thing as absolute truth, for this is contradictory. Neither
can the proposition that absolute truth exists refer only to itself without reference to some other
absolutely true proposition, for this is vacuity. There cannot merely be the single true
proposition, i.e., that there is no such thing as absolute truth. This something which constitutes
the truth that there is absolute truth must itself be an additional truth separate from the truth of the
proposition that the proposition that "there is no such thing as absolute truth" is false. But this
seems to contradict another intuition of ours about the nature of absolute truth, namely, that it
possesses an unconditioned existence whence all other truths must be derived from it, provided
certain conditions, which, themselves, are place- and time-dependent. In other words, to say that
the statement that "absolute truth exists" cannot be vacuous, that it must refer to more than its own
truth, implies that "absolute truth exists" is dependent upon some other separate truth, which then
constitutes a condition upon it!

If space and time are only forms of intuition per Kant, abstract categories of greatest
generality, and hence not "really existent," then the constitution of these forms must itself occur
outside space and time. If objects exist, independently of the functioning of the mind, then they
do not exist in this way within space and time, but are transcendental objects. The realm of the
transcendent must have being because the immanent cannot possibly constitute itself as such from
out of itself. Particular immanent existents may indeed be derivative from out of other immanent
entities, but what we are saying is that the immanent in general, that is the immanent as such,
cannot derive from itself. For example, if Time is a Form, it must be constituted as such wholly
from outside of Time. The constituting of Time itself is not a temporal process. Without
duality and its manifestations as appearing and disappearing forms, there is no means of marking
or noting the passage of time. Without that which transcends duality, that is, indeterminate
substance, there is nothing to underlie change.


When we speak of duality being transcended and of the middle not being excluded, we are not
stating that the law of noncontradiction is false. Certainly within any formal or closed system of
categories any proposition of the form A and not A is contradictory and nonsensical. The middle
must be excluded within such formal systems. But within open systems of categories in which
changes in the system of categories existing at one moment cannot be understood in terms of that
set of categories such that the evolution of the formal system is not formalizable, certainly within
these systems neither A nor not A can be applied to the whole of which the system is but a
manifestation, because there is not such a whole to speak of. Here manifestation is not a mere
downward projection of a larger system or object from a higher dimensionality into one of its
subspaces. Here the so-called middle is the inevitably indeterminate and unbounded remainder.

There is no timescale and no direction for its flow. But the absence of manifestation of form does
not necessarily imply the absence of activity.

11/97 There is change which underlies the changes which are experienced by individual things,
but there is also change which underlies the persistence of things which may for a time not undergo
any changes whatever. And so the transcendence of the duality of formal manifestation does not
imply a kind of static, block universe, for stasis is only an appearance sustained by activity which
is manifested on a particular spatial/temporal scale. For Form to arise ab initio, there must be an
intention since there cannot be any reason, in the sense of sufficient reason, for one set of forms
rather than another to be brought into being from out of a radically open system possessing no
intrinsic spatial or temporal scale or spacetime directionality, i.e., causality - no reason for a
particular set of forms to arise before form as such has been established. Forms do not exist in
potential in such an open system which are then merely uncovered or manifested. Below are a list
of dual opposites. Many of these dual categories appear to neatly line up with one another,
forming parallel distinctions. Other of these dual pairs embody distinctions which cut across

This is because an open system cannot be partitioned into dual disjoint sets which together
descriptively exhaust the system. And so the system, not able to be unified at a purely formal
level, must always manifest forms as dynamically changing if it manifests them at all. The
system, in other words, will always possess a middle which cannot be excluded by any logical
juxtaposition of formal categories and from out of which utterly novel forms will always be
emerging in a way not explicable in terms of the forms which have been previously manifested by
the system. This is, for example, why a perturbative analysis of a quantum mechanical system
always yields a system which cannot be validly represented in an energy eigenstate. The
spatiotemporal/ causal realm transcendant of space and time. Causality is a manifestation of a
particular scale of space and time having already been established. Consequently, the process by
which a particular scale of space and time is established or posited is itself not analyzable in terms
of causal concepts. Now embodied existence presupposes the prior founding of a particular
spatiotemporal scale from out of an unlimited set of such possible scales. The embodiment of
the individual must therefore be initiated from out of a realm beyond Space and Time, and the ego
so embodied is sustained in existence within the realm of space and time by the same process and
activity by which it was originally embodied, that is by which the Ego was originally constituted as
such.

To assume that the human person or ego was constituted in a manner whereby this ego is
analyzable through a process of formal or causal reduction, is to assume that its spatiotemporal
scale is built up out of progressively smaller and smaller spatiotemporal scales. But there can be
no fixing of spatiotemporal scale from below for this is blind process which possesses within itself
no natural stopping point in the hierarchy of possible particular spatiotemporal scales, that is,
through a process of organization from below, as it were. There is no natural stopping point in the
ascent from lower to higher spatiotemporal scales because the lower scales do not comprise the
higher and have no knowledge of them, but the higher compreses the lower. Once the forms of
space and time are supplied, one then enters the realm of Representation: prior to this one is
entirely in the realm of Will ( in Schopenhauers sense) or its potentiality. When one asks hat is
the origin of something as such, one is asking for a derivation or explanation of something which
in no way involves self-similarity or recursivelness, such as the explanation of certain subatomic
particles in terms of a set of interacting particle-like constituents. When, for example, one asks
for an explanation for particles as such, i.e., when one asks for an explanation of particlehood in
general, one is at once thrust outside of the realm of reductive explanations, and one must turn to
an explanation involving a process or organization which acts from above the level of particle
manifestations. Everything which we have been saying here perhaps intimates what might be
the meaning in Buddhist Philosophy of the term, Suchness.




5/97 It is thought that activity must be preceded by the existence of either monistic or
pluralistic substance so that any possible activity is just the movement of either atoms (plural
substance) or the movement associated with waves or oscillations (monistic substance).

An example of the sustaining of a phenomenal form against a continual change in the
underlying ground is the degenerate wavefunctions. The wavefunction represents the most that
can be known about a quantum system, but when degeneracy of the wavefunction exists, it is
possible for the wavefunction to undergo temporal evolution while one or more of the observables
grounded in the changing wavefunction persist unchanged.

Q: Does the fact that a quantum system is in an energy superposition state presuppose that the
system is undergoing fluctuations in its energy?

A: In representing the wavefunction of a complex quantum system in terms of an approximate set
of eigenfunctions, one necessarily introduces virtual transitions between the approximated
eigenvalues of these eigenfunctions as a way of representing the influence of the relatively small
fluctuation component of the Hamiltonian of the system. This is because an open system cannot
be partitioned into dual disjoint sets which together descriptively exhaust the system. And so the
system, not able to be unified at a purely formal level, must always manifest forms as dynamically
changing if it manifests them at all. The system, in other words, will always possess a middle
which cannot be excluded by any logical juxtaposition of formal, that is, dually opposite,
categories and from out of which utterly novel forms will always be emerging in a way not
explicable in terms of the forms which have been previously manifested by the system. This is,
for example, why a perturbative analysis of a quantum mechanical system always yields a system
which cannot be validly represented in an energy eigenstate.

The concept of nothingness is inadmissible within quantum mechanics since it requires
that an unlimited set of noncommuting (incompatible) observables be simultaneously zero. The
spatiotemporal/ causal realm is necessarily sustained through a process which itself is transcendent
of space and time. Causality is a manifestation of a particular scale of space and time having
already been established. Consequently, the process by which a particular scale of space and time
is established or posited is itself not analyzable in terms of causal concepts. Now embodied
existence presupposes the prior founding of a particular spatiotemporal scale from out of an
unlimited set of such possible scales. The embodiment of the individual must therefore be
initiated from out of a realm beyond Space and Time, and the ego so embodied is sustained in
existence within the realm of space and time by the same process or activity by which it originally
became embodied, that is, by which the Ego was originally constituted as such.

To assume that the human person or ego was constituted in a manner whereby this ego is
analyzable through a process of formal or causal reduction, is to assume that its spatiotemporal
scale is built up out of progressively small and smaller spatiotemporal scales. But there can be no
fixing of spatiotemporal scale from below for this is blind process which possesses within itself no
natural stopping point in the hierarchy of possible particular spatiotemporal scales, that is, through
a process of organization from below, as it were. There is no natural stopping point in the ascent
from lower to higher spatiotemporal scales because the lower scales do not comprise the higher
and have no knowledge of them, but the higher comprises the lower. Once the forms of space and
time are supplied, one than enters the realm of Representation; prior to this one is entirely in the
realm of Will (in Schopenhauer's sense) or its potentiality. When one asks what is the origin of
something as such, one is asking for a derivation or explanation of something which in no way
involves self-similarity or recursiveness, such as the explanation of certain subatomic particles in
terms of a set of interacting particle-like constituents. When, for example, one asks for an
explanation for particles as such, i.e., when one asks for an explanation of particlehood in general,
one is at once thrust outside of the realm of reductive explanations, and one must turn to an
explanation involving a process of origination which acts from above the level of particle
manifestations. Everything which we have been saying here perhaps intimates what might be the
meaning in Buddhist Philosophy of the term, Suchness.

01/98 The fundamental error committed by the Philosophy of Mind known as functionalism
is the following. Functionalists contradict themselves by saying that the individual consciousness
is exhaustively describable, at least in principle, as a function of brain physiological processes
while treating the brain as an ultimately closed system which can, again, in principle, be given a
complete description within the context of some future physical theory. But to say that
consciousness is a function of the brain is to say that consciousness is likened to f(x) with the brain
processes likened to x itself. But saying the x represents an essentially closed system is to deny
the existence of f(x). This is the basic contradiction implied by functionalism.

But the functionalist may counter, "If consciousness is not a function of the brain, then
what, may one ask, is it a function of?" If consciousness is recursive, that is, is merely a function
of itself, then this consciousness must be infinitely complex, for otherwise it is in principle
impossible for consciousness to exhibit itself within itself. The question naturally arises as to
whether the self-similarity of consciousness is complete or perfect. What makes the individual
consciousness an exemplar of consciousness itself is not anything which, can be given a formal
description, which is to say, is objective, nor is it in principle possible that the key feature which
makes my consciousness an exemplar of Consciousness - but which at the same time permits my
consciousness to be different from that of yourself or some other person - that is, nor is it possible
that this feature to be present to myself, in the sense of constituting a feature of my presentational
continuum or subjective phenomenal realm. This leads us to attribute to consciousness per se, or
consciousness as such, a feature which is neither completely formal nor concrete. This leads us to
two possible conclusions about this important distinction: 1) either what is termed "formal" and
what is termed "concrete" together do not constitute genuinely disjoint categories, or 2)
consciousness occupies a realm forever beyond the grasp of disjoint categories, that is,
consciousness occupies, if you will, the indefinite domain of the excluded middle, the realm
termed by the Greeks, Apeiron. The second possibility is no doubt familiar to us and has been
suggested many times within the mystical traditions of virtually every major world culture. The
former possibility is then perhaps the more novel and interesting one. We may paraphrase it in
the following manner. "What is termed "concrete" is itself partly constituted as an abstract
category and what is termed "abstract" always possesses some worldly existence as a concrete
entity. This view may fit in nicely with the so-called interactionist view of mind/brain, which has
been put forward by Popper and more fully elaborated by Eccles.



One ready means of avoiding this contradiction is to fall back upon psychophysical dualism.


God, by definition, possesses what is called free will. Moreover, He possesses a will,
which is unconstrained in any conceivable way, but is only limited by and through itself. This
means, for instance, that if God exists, he does so because he chose to exist. When God chose to
exist, he chose to render his timeless, unconditioned Being into a conditioned Existence. In fact,
this is the only pure example of the exercise of free will: the exercising of choice in the complete
absence of any conditions whatever, the choice to exist by an entity possessing Being but not
existence. But the only way in which a God which genuinely exists might have had a free choice
as to whether or not He exists, it must be the case that if He had not existed before - ever, it would
have been only because God had chosen not to exist.

5/98 It would be nonsensical to demand that the ground of existence be at once on a merely
equal footing with all other particular existents inhering within it, namely, that it be an existent
thing. Although this argument seems to suggest that God, the ground of all that exists, does not
itself exist, we must realize that not to exist may be interpreted in two quite disparate ways:
nothing may be understood as a complete absence or, it may be understood as that which is, quite
literally, "no thing".


4/97 Now a being can only possess a genuinely freely-willed choice from among mutually
exclusive alternatives, i.e., contradictories, if this being itself transcends the underlying categorical
distinction of these alternative choices. Unity behind phenomena means that there is some over
arching form, which comprises, explains, or encompasses in some way all the various passing
manifestations. This is what is called formal unity. But the kind of unity we are speaking of and
that the mystics through the ages have spoken of whenever they referred to reality being One, is
not a formal unity, but a unity of origin or origination. This is the unity of Will rather than the
usually intended meaning of unity as unity of Representation. Formal unity always falls short of,
and cannot exhaust, still less outstrip, the unity of origin.

But we have not been strong enough in the manner in which we have stated our argument, for the
free will of God requires that, if God has never in the past been in existence, then this too was the
result of His choice. Here we see that God's choice of existence for himself, which is to say,
conditioned, as opposed to unconditioned being requires, of course, that God be capable of making
choices utterly outside the continuum of historical time. It requires that God possess an
unconditioned existence. There can only be one entity that possesses an unconditioned existence.
This follows because if there were two or more entities possessing unconditioned existence, we
could ask of any of these entities, what conditions led to the particular entity being what it is rather
then one of the other entities possessing unconditioned existence. But this would be to imply that
each of these entities possessed conditioned existence in the sense of maintaining their mutual
distinctness. This highest expression of free will constitutes its ultimate characterization: the
ability to act from outside the spacetime continuum altogether. It is perhaps already apparent
from what has been said thus far that our concept of God's Being transcends the category of
existence/nonexistence.

January 1998
Any freely willed action of the observer must induce a collapse of the wavefunction
describing the brain of this observer. There is no such thing as a purely "voyeuristic" observation,
due to the inevitable influence that the observer has upon the system he is observing. This is due
to either a change in the energy of the system which is not accompanied by a change in the energy
of the system containing both the observer and the system he is observing - in this sense the
observer's observation is no observation at all in the sense of an operation which engenders new
knowledge in the observer. Or this is due to an induced discontinuous change in the
wavefunction of the system under observation. A freely willed action does not fit within the
confines of either a determinate spacetime or within a determinate phase space.
March 2012
The
potential conflict between distinct observers consciousnesses is resolved if each observers
consciousness only resonantly tunes to its own unique ground or vacuum state. Experimentally
this could be investigated by comparing the observer-based quantum effects of an observer
observing his own brain state versus a different observer observing these brain states.


As remarked in an earlier discussion, since the negation of the indeterminate is itself not a
determinate thing, in the event that negation remains a well-defined logical operation, or, if
negation requires prior determination in order for it to be defined as an operation, it follows that the
indeterminate necessarily exists in an unconditioned sense. Since the absolute negation of the
indeterminate does not yield what would appear on the surface to be its formal opposite, i.e.,
determination, the principle of determination must lie within the indeterminate itself.

2/97 Negation, therefore, can only be defined within a kind of local figure-ground system of
potential forms or structures. Without the assumption of such a pre-existing, fixed gestalt system
of forms and relations, the negation of a negation does not bring us back to the form or relation
with which we started. Change of the system of relations and formal structures which does not
render negation self-inconsistent in the manner alluded to must merely be a local change which is
grounded in a larger unchanging system of metarelations and metaforms/structures. Within a
closed, and hence atemporal, system of categories there is no fundamental distinction between
forms, meta-forms, meta-meta-forms, etc. Negation is not definable within an open system of
categories where radical, that is, merely genuine, temporality exists. This is what is meant by our
assertion, made elsewhere already that "temporality is the irreducibility of function to form."

This follows logically: If B is not ~A, then either B = A or B is a component of A. This
is, if course, if we are to preserve the logical law of the excluded middle. This is all to say that
"the principle of determination must lie within the indeterminate itself" is to say that what are
called "determinate" and "indeterminate" must not be disjoint categories; rather, the determinate
must refer to the class of forms which can be assumed by the indeterminate. So there is not
negation of the indeterminate in general because there clearly can not be a concept of the
indeterminate which merely equals the sum of the negations of all possible determinations. We
might suppose that the indeterminate is the integration of all possible forms, both manifest and
non-manifest. The act of manifestation is logically prior and not reducible to the act of particular
negation through the negation of a particular non-manifest form.

A theory survives passage through many stages of revision because it is stable against tinkering;
it is a robust theory, in other words. But what, may we ask, makes for robustness of theories?
For one, the basic elements of the theory must start out vague and overdetermined. Although the
progress of the theory, at least in its initial stages, depends upon an illusion of unique
determination or only slight underdetermination of its basic concepts, equations, etc. So it is
actually the relationship of the initial determinate meanings of the basic theoretical elements with
respect to the myriad latent meanings secretly falling within each terms penumbra which
supplies the ground from which the theory is to successfully develop. Stability in this process of
the growth of theories is greater if the basic concepts are constant with only their representations
flexibly open to change.

2/97 And this is what is meant by the assertion that manifestation as such, that is, within an
open system of potential categories, takes place not through a mere act of uncovering of that which
already exists in potentia. This is why the metaphor of consciousness as merely a kind of
illuminating light that reveals the pre-existent ultimately falls short of imaginatively capturing
what consciousness is in its essence. It is rather through the continuous activity of consciousness
that the forms of thought and perception are sustained as such; consciousness creates forms that
have never before existed - forms which are absolutely novel occurrences! The number of
possible manifestations of consciousness sustained by it is infinite in number, but this set of forms,
though infinite, possesses merely denumerable infinity, that is, an infinity of modes of
determination as form. The infinity enjoyed by the indeterminate ground of Being, i.e., pure
consciousness, is itself nondenumerable! One may intuitively realize that there is no inherent
reason why one's consciousness could not be structured with a greater subtlety than that of which
one's own brain is capable and this is because the structuring of one's consciousness has, in fact,
developed in complexity along with the growth and greater structuring of one's brain from infancy
into adulthood.

Contrary to what many philosophers of mind tend to believe, qualia or, what are sometimes
referred to as "raw feels", "what it's like-ness", etc., is not what is the most inherently mysterious
thing about consciousness. There is something that goes towards making a given individual's
consciousness what it is, that is, a particular example of consciousness itself, which is never given
within the individual experience of any conscious person. And that property is simply whatever
is common to all actual and possible individual consciousness and which therefore cannot be
unique to my individual consciousness in making it mine as opposed to yours. This property is
more general than the most general property of my subjective experience of which makes it mine,
in other words; it is not concrete, but abstract and so cannot be related to any of the qualia coloring
or fleshing out, if you will, my particular consciousness. This yields the paradoxical result that it
is possible for one to be conscious in the complete and utter absence of any qualia whatever. The
only alternative to this is to suppose that there is only one consciousness that is simply structured
differently by different brains, say, in the case of human beings.
April 2011
Only a transcendental
mind would be capable of forming a conception of consciousness as such and then only by being
able to experience for himself the spectrum of distinct individual consciousness so as to form the
abstract category wherein each individual consciousness takes on the additional, trans- or
supra-subjective, as opposed to intersubjective, meaning as mere exemplars of consciousness per
se. Here we see the intimate connection between the problem of other minds and the problem of
an Other Mind, namely that of the existence of God. Faith in the former seems to presuppose faith
in the latter.

The act of underlying manifestation is non-representational and hence necessarily
non-logical - again, not the mere negation of a particular nonmanifest form, that is, not the mere
negation of a negation of a particular manifest form. This act of manifestation which is not the
mere negation of negation is therefore intentional because the object or goal of the act is not
defined prior to the act which is not a mere selecting out from amongst. In other words, the
manifestation of particular forms from out of the indeterminate ground arises not from the bringing
into appropriate relatedness a number of parts, not from the supplying of some additional
necessary conditions. This reminds us of our observation that the appearance of a particular state
within an ergodic system possessing an infinite number of possible states is necessarily
infinitesimal. All "self-organization" is merely an appearance of such, and in reality originates
through the interaction of "elements" or "constituents" with the indeterminate ground which
supports their existence and not merely through their mutual interaction. This is why the
phenomenon of self-organization cannot be "lawlike." Two "elements" are related to one another
never in any direct "physical" sense, but through each being related to the same prephenomenal
ground.

Jesus, in a philosophical moment, might have well said, "If it is possible for you to forget me, it is
possible for you to forget everything you know, in which case, oblivion is for you a real
possibility."

If A, it is true that one only knows ones own psychological states and B,
there is no all-knowing, all-embracing transcendental ground of being, i.e., God and C, only
eternal oblivion awaits one upon death, then D, it follows that metaphysical solipsism is true by
default. So the converse of this is also true, namely that

~D > [~A v ~B v ~C]

But intuitively,

{~A > [~B & ~C]} & {~B > [~C & ~A]} & {~C > [~A & ~B]}

Consequently,

~D > ~B;

which is to say that the falsity of solipsism implies the existence of God.
@$
Only the fact of the
existence of God grounds consciousness in a concept of consciousness and vouchsafes
consciousness objectivity and so the consciousness of the other as more than a metaphor that
oneself arbitrarily adopts. So-called default solipsism should then be defined as metaphysical
solipsism in which oneself is not God. Intuitively we know that the other of the other exists,
namely that the notion of the 4
th
person is a meaningful concept. However, in the absence of a
transcendental being who is the ground of being, there seems no real reason to suppose that there is
any real distinction between the 3
rd
and the 4
th
person, that is, no real distinction between the other
and the other of the other. How does this distinction relate to that of the other and onself as other?
In the absence of the all embracing, all knowing ground of being, consciousness forever must
remain a metaphor and hence the mystery of consciousness must remain isoluble, except if the
consciousness of the self is in fact consciousness as such and eternally preexistent. The
psychological states of others may only in this case be known in more than a mere metaphorical
sense if all of them can be known on an equal footing wherein the distinction of self vs. other is less
than fundamental, which is to say derivative.

June 2011
If human consciousness is just a transitory structuring of a more fundamental
consciousness, e.g, quantum vacuum consciousness field, then individual human experience is
rational because the experiences of each and every human can be fitted together into the larger
picture represented by the experience of this fundamental consciousness, that is, individual human
experience can be reprocessed in terms of how it compares and contrasts with that of every other
human whose individual conscious experiences have been cumutatively depostited into a rational
matrix of collective experience. An apt metaphor here is that of the taste buds of a tongue in
which the person whose tongue is doing the tasting is akin to God while the individual taste buds
collecting the taste sensory data are the entire population of self-conscious beings.

Every time Philosophy has in its long history produced a conclusive result, it has been taken from
her and made into a separate discipline. For this reason Philosophy may be likened to the fallow
acreage mistaken for infertile land.

The underlying psychological drive spurring all human endeavors towards greatness is not per
Freud the desire for sexual gratification, but the desire to be not worshipped as a god, but to be
worshipped as God Himself. This is what caused Lucifer's downfall, not his desire to gratify his
"nasty bits," supposing he possessed them.

To abstract is to ignore details for the sake of noticing similarities between things, developing
concepts and defining classes and their relations. We are very limited in the number of
simultaneous details that we are able to cognize in the so-called "world around us," and so this
world cannot help but take on for us a highly stylized appearance, each moment a scene that is part
of a depiction within a story told to a small child. This reassuring cartoon of a world, filled with
myriad mythological entities - tables, chairs, animals, trees, etc. - the human form itself is a mere
conveniently symbolic point of reference to guide a developing mind through its gestating world,
c.f., soul formation school of theodicy.

@$
Society, the exchange of ideas, insofar as it is not the mere act of mutual signifying or labeling
for one another things and their happenings, is to be likened to an economy where bank checks,
never cashed, are traded for commodities which are never tangibly produced and transferred, so
that no one in this economy ever really knows what has been bought or what that which has been
bought or sold really costs.

A paradox is only a contradiction within an information system which does not admit the presence
of that system-specific ambiguity.

Dualism and Disembodied Existence

Dualism, as a philosophical position within the philosophy of mind, can be seen as an outgrowth of
a prescientific, religious belief in the existence of an immortal soul which set human beings apart
from the rest of nature. This soul endowed the human being with will, purpose and
self-awareness, as well as a place within a transcendent order beyond earthly life. In this way
human beings were thought (through the concept of the soul) to have originated through the
downward causation of divine creativity. The concept of the soul, which is the precursor to the
philosophical doctrine of dualism (through Descartes), had, in its turn, an even older origin in the
animism of prehistoric peoples. Although the doctrine of an immortal soul, of an animating spirit
capable of operating and existing independently of the physical body, indeed, seems to open the
way to belief in such phenomena as ghosts, poltergeists, etc., dualism as a philosophical doctrine
does not necessarily imply or even permit the existence of such "supernatural" phenomena. In
what follows, we will try to argue that although dualism can be given a rational and philosophical
justification, supernatural phenomena, such as ghosts, which might seem to be implied by this
doctrine, are really not consistent with it. The particular variety of dualism which we believe to
have a scientific/experimental basis which at the same time seems to exclude the existence of
disembodied spirits or ghosts is the one put forward by John C. Eccles in his book, How the Self
Controls Its Brain (HSCIB). Eccles hypothesis of mind-brain interaction is that of the microsite.
The basic idea behind Eccles microsite hypothesis is that the human brain possesses
finely-detailed structures responsible for the generation of neural impulses which operate through
exchange of such small quantities of energy that these structures can be modified in a probabilistic
manner through "quantal processes." Eccles presents a rather technical discussion in sections 9.4
and 9.5 of his book for a quantum mechanical model of the operation of these quantal processes.
These smallest physical structures of the neural synapse which can be directly influenced by the
mind are what Eccles calls dendrons. The mental structures which interface with these dendrons
are called by Eccles, psychons. Not all of the details of the dendron structure need be discussed
here. Such a discussion, as well as the detailed one concerning quantal processes of mind-brain
interaction, are beyond the scope of this paper and would perhaps obscure our basic question.
However, some basic components of Eccles dendron are discussed below to aid in our
understanding of how Eccles describes synaptic firing. The basics of how the dendron is
structured and functions will perhaps show how nonphysical influences of the individual's mind
may materially affect the overall functioning of his brain. This may be only to show how the
functioning of the brain is open to nonphysical influences and how brain function is not completely
determined without a brain-mind interaction like that proposed by Eccles. Moreover, the
discussion of quantal processes by Eccles in chapter 9, referred to above, is important in this
connection if only because, in it, Eccles seems to demonstrate mathematically that the energies
required to alter the probabilities of neural synaptic firing, through the triggering of bouton
exocytosis, are comparable in size to the quantum "zero-point energy" which results from
Heisenberg energy uncertainty, in turn, originating independently from the brain itself. According
to Eccles, the probability of bouton exocytosis in neurons, particularly of neurons within the
supplementary motor array (SMA), can be altered by the mind of the individual without violation
of conservation of energy. This is because, as Margenau states, as quoted by Eccles in HSCIB,
"some fields, such as the probability field of quantum mechanics, carry neither energy nor matter."
Bouton exocytosis is the mechanism by which the neural synapse fires, through the emission of
vesicles of neurotransmitter into the cleft of the synapse. Eccles believes (chp. 4.5) that "the
synaptic vesicles are recognized as quantal packages of the preformed transmitter molecules... that
are ready for release as a quantal package into the synaptic cleft in a unitary operation." This
unitary operation, particularly for the cluster of neurons of the supplementary motor array, where
mental intentions are translated, according to Eccles, into a set pattern of neural synaptic firings
leading to a particular bodily action - this unitary operation is that of the action of the individual
mind upon the microsite which Eccles believes to be the paracrystalline presynaptic vesicular grid.
"The identity theorist is committed to the doctrine that mental events per se cannot contribute to
the generation of neural events, which is a doctrine of the closedness of World 1." The
"probability fields," referred to above, relate to a variety of different patterns of synaptic firing,
and so are not themselves disembodied and independently existing since they are probabilities of
different physical brain states - they are meaningless without an already existing brain. The idea of
disembodied ghosts or spirits is inconsistent with this interactionist view of the "mind-brain
interface" as set forth by Eccles in HSCIB. This is because the existence of a physical brain is
presupposed by the probability fields (for different coordinated patterns of neural synaptic firing).
On the other hand, cerebral functioning without the ability of these probabilities to be transformed
into actual, physically observable patterns of neural synaptic firing leaves no room for the
operation of will and intention. Borrowing from Poppers lexicon, the openness of World 1 does
not mean its openness merely to other parts of itself, but of its openness to World 2 and/or World 3,
the experiential and mathematical worlds, respectively.

Temporal coherence can only be explained in terms of the existence of temporal bubbles of
non-infinitesimal duration which exhibit cohesiveness and which are capable of undergoing
transformations over time.
June 2011
Since a time dimension already obtains within the bubble, any
temporal change undergone by the bubble as a whole must be orthogonal to temporal change
within the bubble. The temporal cohesiveness of consciousness would surely be disrupted
within a strong gravitational field or even within a region of spacetime wherein the presence of
gravity is very much weaker than 1 gee. This is because biological and subsequently human
evolution took place entirely within the presence of a 1 gee gravitation field and individual human
consciousness first arose due to the evolving brains having learned to exploit a preexistent
consciousness field so as to bypass heretofore ever-present restriction imposed by block-headed
and clunky, stimulus-response computing. Temporal coherence, of course requires that time
possess a dimensionality transcending unity. So temporal coherence or cohesiveness, rather
forever outstrips the resources of unified descriptions in terms of spatial relationships or
deterministic processes (implying spatilized time, e.g, Einsteins block universe)

There is something paradoxical about the indeterminate, and that is that its negation is not itself
determinate, and this seems to imply a kind of contradiction. This would tend to suggest that
indeterminacy is not an abstract category or property of something; rather it is the substance of
Reality and constitutes its ground. We said earlier that the operation of negation was only defined
within a particular system of categories. This assertion may be better understood in terms of the
composition of a "whole" in terms of various sums of complementary, or disjoint, parts. The
negation of a given set or category would be another set, category, or sum thereof, such that, taken
together the original set plus its complement would reconstitute the whole comprising them.
Clearly, then, there is no possibility of defining the negation of a category which results from its
abstraction from a "whole" not possessing closure with regard to the total number of different
possible categories, i.e., finite cardinality. In other words, since what we will call an "open set"
possesses a nondenumerable cardinality, no particular number of disjoint sets may be defined for it
which exhaustively covers the open set: if no possible description exhausts the set, then, in
particular, no two component sets may constitute a disjointly exhaustive description of the set.
But this is only another way of saying that one cannot specify a category such that it and its
negation conjointly exhaust such an open set.
July 2011
But what about a set that is an organic
whole such that it cannot be divided into two disjoint parts? In the case of a cellular
automata, the algorithm driving the temoral evolution of the simulation would not be fully
formalizable. The disjointness of two subsets means that in the case of the original
abstraction from the whole (the set that is to be disjointly composed, not the whole as such)
that formed each subset wherein a (specific?) collection of details was ignored/treated as
irrelevant in order to constitute each, those suppressed details of each subset necessarily find
themselves included in the category of the other subset. These considerations prompt us to
invoke a new principle, namely that the dynamics of the self is located in the other. This
suggests that the most intimate knowledge of the self is gained not by the self looking within
but through observation and examination of the behavior of the other. This meditation on
the nature of negation has led us to the realization that the operation of negation is itself an
indeterminate operation.

And this is to say that the operation of negation is not definable on an open set. Such an open set
cannot possess a unique formal unity of structure. An arbitrary number of possible incomplete
unifications of the set may nonetheless be proffered. It is only meaningful to think of the
negation of a determinate structure or thing within a particular system of categories. The definition
of the function of negation is itself system dependent, and so, when one speaks of the
indeterminate in general, one is engaged in a subtle self-contradiction, subtle in the sense that the
notion of contradiction is, itself, a logical or syntactical notion whereas the origin of the particular
contradiction facing us, with respect to the notion of the in general determinate and its negation, is
one of a distinctly semantic nature, and syntax and semantics are normally understood as being
mutually irreducible. Paradoxically, the essence of what is called thinking is the activity of taking
thought in its unassuming, un-self-conscious, naturally occurring process, as the object of thought
itself. All sufficient causes, so-called are merely necessary causes operating in the presence of
that which complements and completes their action so that we may say that their action consists
solely of an enabling or triggering of a self-mediating process through its being impressed upon
those necessarily abstract entities and guiding them in the imperfect imitation of this their ground.
We can never specify the complete sum of necessary causes constituting the sufficient cause of a
particular phenomenal event. If all that really exists is the Absolute, the World Mind, then that is
one thing, but if there exists a plurality of minds, then there must exist that which is itself not mind,
@$
for we must account for the "betweenness" of the various minds constituting this plurality. The
plurality of minds necessarily presupposes a spatiotemporal or at the very least an intersubjective
continuum and a means of embodiment mediated by forms. The plural state of mind cannot be
eternal as it is dependent upon space and time and so must be limited both spatially and temporally.
Only those aspects of the individual mind which are not contained within the spatiotemporal
context are continuous with the ground from which the individual ego originally sprang and lies
within the inmost being of that individual,
@$
which, again
July 2011
it finds most intimate testimony
of in the other. For this is the very same ground from which space and time are themselves
originally constituted. Now here is the rub: if there is not disjoint dual decomposition of the
whole, then the other (and not just some metaphysical transcendental other) is transcendentally
other.

February 1998
This notion is very much along the lines set for by Schopenhauer in his metaphysical
system, itself owing much to Kant.

There is not a dual constituting of space and time, one mental, the other, physical. The action
underlying the constituting of the spatiotemporal continuum is prior to the formal distinction of
physical and mental. This is why spiritually and metaphysically-minded physicists and other
scientists are beginning to look to the deep connections subsisting within the so-called
nonlocally-connected quantum field, or vacuum, for the underlying basis of individual
consciousness, as these nonlocal connections within the quantum field are responsible for those
newly discovered quantum effects which seem to violate the heretofore inviolable limitations
posed by relativistic causality, e.g., conservation of momentum-energy. And so the individual
does not transcend the limitations of his own ego by looking beyond the boundaries which define
his ego as separate from the egos of other individuals, that is, within the space set up just on the
other side of the ego boundaries and complementary to the space in which the person has his
individual being, but by looking within himself where these ego boundaries do not exist and have
never once existed. This is much like diving so deep down a well that one reaches the
subterranean ground-water with which the waters of all wells in a field are mutually continuous.


June 1997
Nonlocal connections form the basis of communication within a single mind, while
local connections form the basis for potential communication between minds. This is due to the
intimate role of the individual observer in the partitioning of reality into real vs. virtual disjoint
domains. For instance, the status of a particular particle or field as being real or "merely" virtual
is entirely dependent upon the inertial frame of reference of some particular observer. If we
conveniently think of the reduction of the wavepacket representing a particle in a superposition
state (of different virtual versions of itself), then we see that, in light of the frame-dependence of
the real vs. virtual categorical distinction, accelerated motion, and, in essence, gravitation, must
play a crucial role in the process of the collapse of the wavefunction or the "conversion" of a
virtual particle into a real particle. This is because it is not a mere misnomer that the term
virtual is applied to both particles and states. This is perhaps related to Penrose's claim that
quantum gravity is relevant to the process of reduction of the wavefunction in the absence of its
decoherence through environmental interactions, i.e., what Penrose terms objective reduction.

The collapse of a wavefunction not possessing boundary conditions, that is, composed of a
continuum of an infinite number of eigenfunctions, creates an infinite quantity of information.
Another way of seeing the necessity of a Penrose-mechanism of objective reduction of the
wavefunction is to think in terms of the spacetime within which the wavefunction must be
expressed. Firstly, let us take note of the fact that the wavefunction does not itself have a
"physical" meaning; only the square of the wavefunction represents the measurement of physical
observables, that is the probability densities of their associated eigenvalues. The wavefunction
itself, rather, represents the most complete description of a quantum system - the most that an
observer, or hypothetical observer, can possibly know about the system represented by this
wavefunction. Moreover, the phase of the wavefunction has, apparently, no absolute physical
meaning, only the difference in the phase of two or more wavefunctions/ eigenfunctions. We
may suppose, hypothetically, that secretly, a necessary condition for the proper normalization of a
given wavefunction might be the following condition: the sum of the phase differences of
consecutive eigenfunctions must add to an integral multiple of pi in the case of a purely symmetric
wavefunction, whereas the sum of phase differences of consecutive eigenfunctions must add to an
integral multiple of pi/2, in the case of a purely antisymmetric wavefunction. Despite the fact that
the frequencies of each eigenfunction are distinct, the collective temporal evolution of all of the
eigenfunctions comprising a given wavefunction manages to maintain this precise relationship,
stated above, for the eigenfunction phase differences, but only if this temporal evolution takes
place within an inertial frame of reference.

Of course, there should be a relatively simple way to prove this assertion mathematically.
The proof of this may be related to the fact that a given wavefunction may be expanded into a
unique spectrum of eigenfunctions which, in turn, can be individually expanded into eigenfunction
spectra with respect to an incompatible operator/observable. The temporal evolution of Psi(x,t) is
just a constant multiplied by a time-varying (rotating) phase factor which, for an individual
wavefunction, possesses no physical significance - only relative differences in amplitude phase
has a physical meaning.

Now if the human brain is not capable of entering a peculiar quantum coherent state, then there is
no question of comparing the phases of the brain's wavefunction, or its relevant
nonlocally-connected components, with the phases of each eigenfunction of the quantum system
being "observed" by the individual whose brain is in question in this regard. It is well known that
decoherence and collapse of a given wavefunction will take place through the entanglement of the
wavefunction with its surrounding environment. Might a wavefunction become entangled with
the quantum coherent state of the observer's brain, directly resulting in the collapse of this
wavefunction?
@$
But the entanglement of one coherent wavefunction with another should
merely produce a new superposition - not decoherence.

October 1996
On this view, the mind of the individual, if only one among a many, must itself, be a kind
of abstraction within the Universal Mind, but an abstraction that is always being re-thought, since
the operation of the individual mind is not generally formalizable.

There is no such thing as nothing. Nothing, by its very nature, is a nonexistent entity: it is its
own negation. We might be tempted to say then that "something," being the opposite of nothing,
must exist. But not just any "something" constitutes the opposite or negation of
nothing/nothingness, but only a something which is, itself, the unity of all that might possibly
exist, and the very essence of which is to exist.
@$
On this view what we must term God is the
truest negation of nothingness and so also the ultimate bootstrap process.

May 1997
But if the world is in reality an open system, which is to say, not merely denumerably
infinite or unlimited, but nondenumerably infinite, then this system transcends any unity of form
whatever, even though perhaps possessing unity of origin. The negation of such a boundless
totality beyond totalizing could not constitute an actual nothingness. And so there is a category
for that which transcends the dual opposite categories of existence versus nonexistence.

In other words, nothing, not being possible because containing within itself its own
negation, implies that there must have always been something (or other). But the only guarantee
that there has always been something is the existence of something which contains within itself its
own affirmation, if you will, the reason for its own existence. A fundamental and most general
property of a thing which contains within itself the reason for its own existence is that of recursion,
something which is defined solely in terms of itself, a recursive structure. There are logical
grounds for believing that there can be only one recursive structure, that there can be only one
self-existent entity - with this entity being the "ground" for existence of all other entities. A
recursive structure, if it may be thought to be composite, would be composed of parts which are
totally interdependent upon one another; no part is the cause of any other without also being itself
caused by this other part and so if this recursive structure had a beginning in time, it must have
been given existence through a pre-existing, broader and more complex recursive structure. We
see now that a given finite recursive structure comes into existence through a process of
uncovering or abstraction from a more complex whole - through a process of negation. We are
reminded of Michelangelo's claim that a truly great work of sculpture already exists within its
marble block and that all he did in order to produce his works of sculpture was to free them from
the marble in which they were imprisoned.

The distinction between the "mental" and the "physical" may be drawn in the following
way: both are wholes composed of parts, both possess principles of organization, but what is
termed a physical whole is defined exclusively in terms of its constituent parts while the "parts"
which "compose" what is termed a mental whole are, themselves, defined in terms of the whole
which they compose. The reconstruction of a mental whole must be guided in a top - down
manner whereas the construction of a physical whole must be guided in a bottom - up manner.
The principle of a mental whole must exist prior to its actual realization ( in terms of whatever
substance). Without substance change is not possible. Coextensive with this principle is:
change owes itself to a lack of determination, to a deficit of Being, to negation. From which it at
once follows that substance, rather than being the seat of being, of thinghood, as common sense
conceives it to be, it owes its existence, to the contrary, to a lack of being. It is not possible for a
determinate thing to be made up out of substance insofar as this thing possesses determination.
July 2011
Our remarks about the processes of abstraction, negation, disjointness, organic wholeness,
the relationship of self and other, must be reexamined in light of the fundamentally distinct modes
of self-organization of mental vs. physical wholes.

November 1997
We are all familiar with the humorous philosophical adage that "time exists because
otherwise everything would happen all at once." Although this adage is usually expressed in a
facetious vein, there is perhaps greater significance behind it than many people realize. If Reality
possessed no totalization ( to borrow from the post-modern lexicon), that is, if Reality is not a
Unity of any kind ( because as a totality Reality cannot be a mere kind or sortal), then Reality
cannot be given or represented within a single moment, but a plural manifold of moments are
required for its exhibition/expression. There is perhaps an argument to be made for an infinity of
moments (nondiscrete) being required for this: a finite sequence of moments may be equivalent
to a single moment. An infinite space cannot necessarily maintain its orthogonality toward
possible time dimensions. In other words, there can be no global "now" or "present."
"Past", "present" and "future" are merely relative and not absolute predicates. In fact the
incompatibility of temporal predicates which so troubled
au=
McTaggart may be absolutely required
in order to guarantee the possibility of the continuity of "time's flow." The reality of the so-called
specious present would also seem to require this incompatibility of merely relative temporal
predicates.

It is easy enough to see that continuity is required for the subsistence of what is called historical
time which we will henceforth refer to as temporality. Indeterminate substance is the only basis
for the continuity underlying all change. There are many reasons for favoring a top-down as
opposed to a bottom-up structuring of complex informational systems. We may point up the truth
of this statement by listing a number of examples. 1) Socrates' view on education. 2)
Michelangelo's view of the act of creation in sculpture. 3) The Hindu understanding of the Void
as a Plenum. 4) The James - Bergson - Popper theory of the "origin of consciousness." 5) Chaos
theory's view of seemingly chaotic systems as ultra-high density information systems. 6) The
holographic model of fundamental particles and their interactions. 7) The fact that the
effectiveness of natural selection presupposes the existence of a complex gene regulatory
hierarchy. 8) The fact that technological development consists entirely, in principle, of increasing
sophistication in the manipulation of boundary conditions to a pre-existing dynamism which itself
does not admit of any modification whatever.

The notion that orderly structures and systems can be formed out of the random shuffling
over an immense period of time of an equally immense state space (defined in terms of abstract
variables), presupposes the operation of a kind of progress-oriented "ratcheting effect." Purely
random shuffling of state space configurations means that no feedback, either positive or negative
exists between the various states of the space, that all of the states are equally weighted in
probability. This notion of what is called an Ergodic System, moreover, violates the principle of
relativity in the sense that, although different probabilistic weighting of particular states, or,
clusters of states, is disallowed for a case of genuinely random shuffling of states, nevertheless, the
probability weighting of certain state space configurations is permitted to be modified with time.
Specifically, they are modified with time because somehow once a "favorable" configuration has
been "hit upon," it becomes much more probable in the future due to the influence of Darwinian
natural selection. There seems to be two significantly different classes of mutations upon which
natural selection operates as a purely critical, as opposed to a creative, process. Firstly, and most
importantly, those mutations occurring to the regulatory genes, and secondly, those mutations
affecting the kinds of proteins which are made available to a developing organism, the so-called
point, or structural, genetic mutations.

If a "conscious computer" is ever developed in what will undoubtedly be the far distant
future, this mysterious property of such a device will in no way stem solely from the design or
blueprint by which its engineers will have conceived its construction; the blueprint will, of course,
be a necessary component in the realization of such a conscious machine, but will have been
derived from a necessarily somewhat fortuitous discovery, owing to much trial and error
investigation, of the "correct" hardware interface of the device with the recursive, self-organizing
matrix of quantum - vacuum energy fluctuations which underpin and mediate the stability of all
fundamental particles and their exchange forces. Such a hardware interface constitutes the
man-made component of the complete set of boundary conditions being applied, locally, to the
vacuum electromagnetic field, assuming that the interface is to be an electronic device - if not, then
other components of the total vacuum fluctuation field will come into play. These boundary
conditions should, presumably, are able to be reorganized over time through continued interaction
with the vacuum electro-magnetic field. The hardware must not be inflexible, in other words, and
not act as a final set of boundary conditions upon the field, but must act merely as a "seed" set of
transitional boundary conditions, amenable to transformation in response to interaction with the
field. The field, which is open-ended, must direct the organization of the "hardware" interface,
ultimately in accordance with its own requirements.

6/97 Sufficient conditions for the occurrence of a given event are always merely "provisional."

4/97 The question arises whether changes in these boundary conditions to the field, that is,
for example, the transmission of neural impulses through a brain's neural network, produce or are
associated with perceivable phenomena occurring within some person's mind, whose brain it is,
because. . .

1) either a complex disturbance is set up in the vacuum field which propagates through this
vacuum, inducing a sweeping (over time) but subtle alteration in the large-scale local system
(relative to the brain's overall dimensions, say) which somehow feeds back, modulating future
functioning of the brain's neural network, or . . .

2) These changes in the boundary conditions to the field alter the self-interaction of the vacuum
field. The self-interaction can only be defined locally, however. There is no such entity as
global self-interaction since there is no global or totally unified vacuum field as the vacuum field is
essentially characterized by transient phenomena and constant change. It would seem that any
global unification would have to subsist outside the vacuum field. But there can be no outside to
the vacuum field since the vacuum field is itself, as already noted, a radically-open system! In
such a system, there can be no eternally-pre-existent forms or forms of action/behavior. Such
forms must always be provisional, experimental, and ultimately temporal, which is to say, not
everlasting! The concept of the so-called global self-interaction embodies a contradiction,
though perhaps a subtle one. This is because such a self-interaction would have to be mediated
through something other than itself - that is, what mediation means, in essence, the working
through an intermediary. The contradiction then is that the global system must modulate its
global behavior/action at once through itself and from outside itself. There cannot be perfect
continuity in the interaction between the forms inhering within the global system since, if one goes
down deep enough into the activity underlying the interplay of these forms, one reaches an
intermediary substrate of activity wherein the boundaries between these forms as separate is
altogether lost. But perfect continuity, for instance, physical continuity (describable by a
continuity equation involving some conserved quantity or quantities), is absolutely required if a
causal analysis of the behavior of a dynamical system, say, is to be possible. The interaction of
the dynamism of the global system is ultimately not mediated by, or explicable in terms of, these
very same forms which are temporarily sustained in existence by this underlying dynamism. This
is intimately related to what has been said earlier about a process not being exhaustively
describable in terms of its by-products, its epiphenomena. But just because one cannot
exhaustively describe a process in terms of its by-products does not necessarily make of them
epiphenomena: there may still be some use or function to these by-products/forms at levels
logically or ontologically prior to them.


A true epiphenomenal mental state would constitute a context-free mental state containing no
information. "Mental state" in such an instance would be misnomer.


If one were to apply this idea to the Mind and its sensory/perceptual/conceptual "phenomena, one
would be forced to view their obtrusion/eruption into the realm of consciousness as wholly
irrational. There may well be spatiotemporality at this underlying level of activity, but it must be
a spatiotemporality utterly without scale or directionality. This underlying substrate is therefore
beyond the limitations of time and place. Is it still possible, however, to conceive of activity as
such as taking place at such a fundamental level? We may say that the temporality of the
interplay of forms sustained by the posited global substrate/system stems from the fact that the
boundaries implied by the forms themselves do not strike down to the bottom of an ultimate
underlying substrate because such a substrate does not exist: metaphorically speaking, Reality is
bottomless! The changes of the forms relative to one another are realized as illusory and so
vanish once one gets to that level of lower substrates where the boundaries constituting the
separateness of these forms leaves off. The ultimate application of metaphor is simply in the
sustenance of one's self-same ego from moment to moment despite ever changing fluxes of
sensation, thought, and perception. The ego is the ultimate mythological expression of
consciousness. This is perhaps why philosophers of mind have termed the mind the metaphor of
all metaphors.


01/98 Words are frequently borrowed from other languages, particularly from French or
German, and used by English speakers/writers for purposes of creating special emphasis of a
concept which is either altogether new or which is being presented or represented in an
unaccustomed and novel, interesting light. Now it is not that these borrowed foreign words or
phrases possess such intriguing meanings within their root languages, for they usually have
ordinary if not pedestrian meanings as they are used by native speakers. Take the fairly common
borrowing from the French, "Je ne se qua." In the French, this merely means, "I know not what."
And if one were to say concerning some person with an elusive talent, he possesses a certain, "I
know not what," this would well fail to connote the fact that the person enjoys some intriguing and
mysterious quality.

Whenever one encounters these foreign borrowings, notice that that they are always
italicized. The function of italics is to provoke the mind to pause to dwell on the word with the
thought that a point has just been made which is revelatory, that a pregnant kernel of thought or
insight is to be reached in the reader's mind just at this precise moment and the emphasis is
provided so that the reader knows to watch for this event. The emphasis of the italicized foreign
borrowing is intended to signal, "the context thus far provided should be just now sufficient for the
intended message to precipitate or crystallize in the mind of the vigilant reader." This tactic
works if the reader has some familiarity with the language from which the word is borrowed, for
the literal acceptation of the foreign phrase will, under the influence of the context into which it is
borrowed, transmute spontaneously into the required metaphor precisely delineating the author's
intended notion. Now does this manner of stimulating the metaphorical thought of the reader
sometimes lead the author to communicate with him at cross purposes? Metaphor is an artifact of
what might be termed "intersubjective subjectivity." New meaning always seems to develop
organically. What is meant here is that new meanings arise from old, through reinterpretation;
they are never brought in from outside pre-existing boundaries, like material for a construction
project. Rather, reinterpretation results in a redefining of boundaries.

We may say that what we sense constitutes a much larger domain than what we perceive
and that what we perceive constitutes a larger domain than what we cognize, i.e., what we can
articulate to ourselves at the moment of the cognition. The cognitive domain is still larger than
the domain of that which we can recollect and articulate to others.

Metaphorical thinking is the simultaneous realization of some abstract feature of one
particular context and its application toward an understanding of the dynamics of some
superficially unrelated context.

Another way in which language seems to exhibit this peculiarity is in its role of referring to
concrete individuals. For example, if we were to mention the person you were sitting next to on
the 100
th
occasion (in your life) on which you travelled by bus while sitting next to a definite
individual person, perhaps still living, and without the slightest idea that he or she is being talked
about at this very moment. If my listener is not a city dweller, there is a very real possiblity that
the label, 100
th
person refers to a person of the (to you) distant future a person yet to be
determined or perhaps to a nonexistent person, assuming you almost never take the bus. It might
be thought that your hypothetical bus companion of the future is basically different from the real
person whom you rode the bus with at some unknown occasion in the past. After all, it could have
turned out that we and our bus companions are all members of a highly neurotic society where
people are in the habit of keeping meticulous records of everything which ever happens to them
even to the extent of keeping an accurate count of the number of times which like events occur so
that if the desire ever strikes us we may quickly flip through a black notebook in order to determine
the identity of the 100
th
person with whom we rode the bus. But the equally anal retentive rural
dweller who has only ridden the bus, say, a dozen times in his life: he has no way of determining
the identity of companion #100. But returning to reality we must say that in either case: real past
or hypothetical future person #100 that a physically real human being is involved.
April 2011
There
are circumstances in which perceptions are commonly or unreflectively supposed to refer to
concrete individuals; moreover, this very type of perceptual circumstance plays no insignificant
role in constituting the warp and woof of ones workaday, unreflective consciousness. An
example might be the myriad cars, houses, people that one observes while flying at several
thousand feet in a passenger airliner. One is unreflectively positive that each recognizable object
seen on the ground from great distance corresponds either to a person or is uniquely related to a
specific person or group of persons.

10/97 Metaphor may be thought of as representing the dynamic potential of the unlimited
scope of the application of logical categories in which semantics transcends syntax. Metaphor as
it underlies the creative capacities of mind is not merely the implementation of abstract categories
within new, unfamiliar contexts, but the unbounded capacity and inclination for doing this in a
truly pervasive manner. Metaphorical imagination is never foregone, but always essentially
creative. Anyone will grant that no single individual or group of individuals invented human
language. A certain amount of metaphorical thinking is built into each of the thousands of
distinct but related human languages through the fact of the typical linking of several distinct
meanings of concept-denoting words by virtue of such words possessing any number of different
connotations or acceptations, e.g., the word, cara, in Spanish, which has the separate but intimately
related meanings, dear, face, and expensive. Sometimes within a collection of related languages
there exist words which have related connotations by virtue of their common descent from a word
in the root language of that language family, while this root word suggests a metaphysical or
theological idea.

For example, the English word Sin and the German word Sinn. Both words are related to
a root word in the proto-Indo-European root language of these two languages. The German word
Sinn means, sense or consciousness and the idea suggested by the existence of a
proto-Indo-European word from which both stemmed in which the two ideas of Sin and Sinn are
intimately related is that of Sin arising from the emergence of a sense of Self distinct from that of
others as well as from the Other, namely God, which led to the loss of harmony between the human
and Divine wills, that is, the fall of Mankind as represented in the Biblical story of the Garden of
Eden. Although the word Sinn by itself does not have the same meaning as the word Sin in
English, there is, however, the compound word in German, Sinnflut, which literally means the
Great Flood sent by God as punishment for mankind's sinfulness. Of course, the converse of this is
true as well: words which originally fused together two meanings in the root language later
become two separate words in some descendant language. An example of this are the German
words, Realitat and Wirklichkeit, words which stand for reality in its temporal and eternal modes,
respectively. Both of these words originally stemmed from a single Latin cognate. In light of
these considerations the Biblical story of the Tower of Babel takes on a new and perhaps larger
significance.

The question that concerns us is whether or not the human self that each individual human is, is
just one particular form among many possible particular forms, or whether the individual human
being is in his depth that through which his temporal ego is just an expression. If just a form, then
there appears from what has already been said, no chance for the self that each is to participate in
Eternity, to have life beyond the temporal. We know that consciousness itself, or as such, is not a
mere form or expression of something else which is itself not consciousness.

This much we know about "forms." They are always constituted out of that which is other
than what they are: matter is derived from energy, water which is a liquid is derived from
hydrogen and oxygen which are gases, figure in painting is derived from ground, living from
nonliving. Each form or structure, it seems, can be derived from its own opposite, provided
certain conditions. Each form is determinate and so possesses a definable, dual opposite. But
what about that which is not closed, but open, not enframed, but boundless? This is what we have
been calling the Indeterminate, which possesses no dual opposite, rather, all dual opposites derive
from it! A truly deterministic computing device in a certain sense possesses no genuine
temporality, although in another sense the device indeed possesses temporality as a particular
physical realization of a device hardware design. In the first sense, the device "computes"
without utilization of its energy uncertainty as a physical, that is, a quantum mechanical device -
the fact that the device is a quantum mechanical implementation of a computing device is merely
incidental to its functioning as a classical physical system. No information processing is
associated with virtual transitions of the quantum state of the device. There is merely the
processing of "data," the data are converted into genuine information at output provided that
someone, i.e., some consciousness, reads and/or interprets this outputted data.

There can be no increase in available information of one thermodynamic system without
a concomitant increase in the entropy of some larger thermodynamic system to which the smaller
system is connected, say, through the exchanging of matter and energy. Now the quantity of
entropy of a reversible system can never change, if the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics is generally
valid. From which consideration it immediately follows that the information content of a
reversible system can never change. We said earlier that information was data placed in context,
that context is needed to make data refer beyond themselves so as to possess meaning. We also
said that processes taking place in an "open-ended" context could not be, strictly speaking,
reversible.

December 1997
Our demand for the contextual embedding of data in order for information to exist may
be questioned. Perhaps it is possible for information to be brought into being without data.
@$
The requirement for context is really a requirement for metadata in the form of a two-way
"communication" between data and its context for it to function as information.

Still more, all three laws of thermodynamics are contradicted when the influences of the
open system of the vacuum energy field are taken into account. The 1st Law of
Thermodynamics: this is just the standard energy conservation law and energy is not conserved
in virtual quantum processes. The 2nd Law of Thermodynamics: the entropy of all closed
thermodynamic systems must increase as a result of processes taking place within this system.
The quantum vacuum is not a spatially closed system since its very action constitutes any local
spacetime. Moreover the temporal evolution of all physical systems is reducible to changes in
system energy, discretely or continuously. If the system is in an energy eigenstate, then only the
phase of the systems wavefunction evolves. But the absolute phase of a quantum mechanical
system has no physical meaning within quantum theory - only relative phases have physical
meaning. But if the two systems with a relative phase difference can be consistently described as
a single system with a unique wavefunction, then the relative phases of the two component
subsystems cannot be known without interacting with the system through some third system. So
a quantum system in an energy eigenstate possesses no genuine or physical temporality. The 3rd
Law of Thermodynamics: the energy of a perfectly ordered crystal at 0 degrees Kelvin is zero.
The quantum vacuum possesses an ineradicable temperature. It also possesses an entropy and
this vacuum is in continual interaction or energy exchange with all objects in spacetime. No
crystal could exist in a "perfectly ordered" state so long as it exchanges energy with a thermal
reservoir possessing entropy such as the quantum mechanical vacuum. Reversible systems
therefore, contain data but do not actually contain information; however, such systems do
potentially contain information, but not information with a predetermined content, or reference.

There is a confusion of the direction of time with the temporal evolution of physical
processes to states of progressively greater entropy. We are either referring to a global or cosmic
time when we speak of the 'direction of time" or we are only speaking in this way metaphorically.
But a global time is only definable if reality is a closed system. But since there is no place for
irreversibility within a truly closed system, the notion of a direction of time makes no sense in
either the case of a closed or an open cosmic system. The notion is incoherent in the case of an
open system because of the incoherence of any notion of there being a global time which then
might be supposed to be irreversible. In the case of a closed system, there is simply no possible
basis for irreversibility within a system possessing a finite and unchanging number of discrete
states.

Even if we were to observe physical processes to take place in the opposite direction such that the
entropy of the systems in which these processes are occurring were to decrease, this would
nevertheless be the case of time moving from the past to the future through the present. The
concept of the "direction of time" is incoherent since there is not a coherent meaning which can be
attached to the hypothetical reversal of this alleged time direction, by arguments stated elsewhere
in this text. We have elsewhere said that "nothing means anything" in the absence of a
grounding context, which ultimately had to be open. Conversely, nothing exists, as a
determination of ground, in the absence of locally imposed boundary conditions. This is the most
that we can mean by the term "thing," namely a particular determination of "ground." The ground
is not itself a thing. And so the concept of "nothing" does not involve the negation of ground.
As we argued heretofore, the concept of negation is not definable with respect to a radically
underdetermined ground. The meaning of any form abstracted from the ground as a particular
determination of this ground, locally and temporally, depends upon a connection between the form
and its ground. This connection is not forged after the form is made manifest, but is a residuum of
ground which is within the purview of the concept or form and maintaining contact with the
original ground from which the form was initially abstracted. This form continues even though
its ground never remains what it is, being a constantly changing flux. In this way forms are
over-determined phenomena rooted in an under-determined substrate, i.e., the ground. Forms are
not transitory despite the backdrop of an infinity of possible alternative forms which might have
come into being in their place, and so all forms which persist are intended.

November 1997
Since the determination of form through the abstraction of form from indeterminate
ground is not mere manifesting or uncovering of something preexistent as potentia, that therefore
the determination of form in the ground must constitute an act of creation of a creative process or
creativity, a necessary component of which is intentionality.

May 1998
Essential to the notion of intentionality is the capacity for consciousness to entertain
thoughts about that which is not at the time being represented within consciousness, to wit, the
capacity for objectless thought. Intentionality is essential to metaphor.

April 1997
The figure/ground analogy to the form/formless distinction breaks down when one realizes
that in painting, for example, the ground can always become figure and the figure, ground, as long
as one is talking about what representation exists solely within the limitations of the painting's
enframing, if you will. But when speaking of figure and ground in their metaphysical sense,
ground is always beyond representation in its entirety; there is a continual succession of figures, or
representations, which succeed one another and so which marks the passing of time, but there is
never a complete gestalt inversion such as one experiences while beholding certain contrived
ambiguous visual patterns such as are used in psychological testing. This is because in painting
figure and ground together are merely figure within a larger system of representation. One can
see the painting in its frame as such an object hanging on the wall of an art gallery. But in the
metaphysical sense, one cannot do this. Ground is not secretly figure in some larger system.
The notion of a possible larger system is completely inadmissible where a genuinely open system
is concerned, which Ground is. It always remains what it is, that is, Ground. It is inherently
indeterminate with respect to any possible system of representation. This is why forms in Reality,
what we might call "real forms," cannot be understood simply as negations within some larger
formal system, and this is the reason for the inadequacy of The Principle of Excluded Middle
within Ontology, even if it is a perfectly valid and useful principle within a particular system of
logic.

October 1997
In Fichte's Theory of Subjectivity, he proposes his concept of the self-positing ego which
at once posits the not-self. But the not-self of a particular ego cannot be thought to include other
egos in the sweeping category of the particular ego's not-self, if the categories of mental and
physical are indeed distinct.
August 2011
Though selves are distinct, so too, are not-selves distinct,
so each self must possess its own transcendental ground, which perhaps poses a real problem for
the concept of intersubjectivity. As we have remarked before, intersubjectivity is the cash value
of objectivity, but deconstructing the metaphor, cash value points up the following paradox:
intersubjectivity = objectivity is an intersubjectively agreed upon principle, which ultimately
depends upon these two concepts being transcendentally (in reality) distinct. Part of what
makes the equivalence, intersubjectivity = objectivity valid is the ultimate truth of the relation,
intersubjectivity ~= objectivity . Clever-seeming, but fishy arguments which appear to
establish remarkable, counterintuitive conclusions typically employ the cynical rhetoricians
informal fallacy of the equivocation of sense in the particular case where the scope of two or more
concepts are either broadened or restricted during the course of a single deductive argument, c.f.,
the proof that time = money, etc.

Only in appropriate dynamic conjunction with this fluctuating energy matrix will any
realization of a hardware design possess the topological energy structure sufficient to tap the
pre-existing "consciousness potential" of spacetime. In other words, it is only the grace of
Reality's fundamental dynamism which will permit the eventual construction of a so-called
conscious computing device. This empirical discovery of the correct interface design will
manifest itself perhaps during a testing phase where a long series of simulated sensory inputs, of
increasing complexity, are in the process of being fed into the device while its output signals
(responses) are being closely monitored. The memory medium of the device will begin to
accumulate stored or remembered inputs which it has never received through its various sensory
apparatus. Identical sets or series of inputs will produce significantly different series of outputs
both from an individual machine over time as well as from different machines at the same time -
even if these machines possess identical designs.

Occasionally, radically different series or sets of inputs will produce identical sets of
outputs. A significant portion of the functional relationship between output and input will depend
upon changes in energy in the internal components of the machine's hardware which are,
themselves, smaller than the overall quantum energy uncertainty of the device as a whole.
Moreover, no mutually orthogonal set of eigenfunctions will describe the "functioning
components" of the device. This is why we have been saying that the abstract spatial structure of
our hypothetical computing device is non-topological. Clearly, any realization of a static
blueprint for a computing device, regardless how complex, in the form of a dynamically
functioning prototype, will itself be merely a topological transformation of the blueprint from 2 or
perhaps 3 spatial dimensions to 4 spatial dimensions rather than the non - topological
transformation from 3 spatial to 4 dimensions of 3 space and 1 time. This is because the state
space of the transcribed structure, i.e., the design, can be adequately described in spatial terms. In
a very real sense, an object may not be thought to possess an internality unless it possess an a
genuine "outside" in the sense of a radically open system - a system which cannot be contained
within a closed system; a system is "closed" only if it is finite and neither receives nor transmits
energy to or from any system except itself. Such a closed system possesses no "outside." There
is no need to invoke a temporal description of this state space - the only reason one would attempt
it is because we project our genuine temporality onto the mind's eye realization of the computing
device in its act of "functioning."

Henri Bergson, in his essay, Time in the History of Western Philosophy, complained of a
confusion which inevitably cropped up whenever metaphysicians attempted to analyze the
problem of motion. With a kind of gentle contempt he described the frustration of these
philosophers in trying to reconstruct linear motion from infinite series of "immobilities", i.e., fixed
points of infinitesimal length. He explained their failure as being due to their ignorance of the
nature of a linear interval as a mere projection of "mobility onto immobility."

10/96 Similar in principle to this is the projection of the mental qualities of meaning and
intentions upon what are in a very real sense merely inanimate objects, that is, digital computers.
One speaks usually unconsciously, or perhaps, glibly ( if one is a "hard AI" proponent like
Minsky) about how the computer processes "information." To avoid begging the question of
whether computers actually think by secretly importing meaningfulness into what the computer is
doing, one should refer instead to the processing of "data" by the computer. Information results
from the interpretation of data. Conversely, data maybe thought of as information removed from
its original meaning-grounding context. What digital computers manipulate is context-free
information, that is, data; the output follows logically and deterministically from the inputted
"data."

10/96 This projection, naturally as such, does not capture the whole phenomenon, but
merely a point of view with respect to it out of an infinity of equally valid points of view, and so
from a single projection, or even a finite number of projections, one is never permitted to
reconstruct the original object as it is.

Subjectivity and Objectivity are only separated through the action of determination. The
most that we can possibly mean by the term, objective, is intersubjective. That is, what is
objective are those features, necessarily abstract, which can be conventionally agreed upon by
different subjectivities, which is to say, those features which can be described in terms of
discursive symbols, or language, which by their essential nature are only able to convey
differences or similarities of various orders or levels, in other words, class inclusion or exclusion.
The formation of categories is not always dependent upon a heretofore consciously and
conventionally agreed upon negation of certain aspects of commonly perceived phenomena as
irrelevant, but certain aspects of a phenomenon are altogether missed through the limitations of
perceptual apparatus which are themselves partly conditioned by the abstractive scheme
underlying the common language of perceivers/observers. Since, as we alluded to already,
objectivity is exhausted by what we have termed intersubjectivity, the genuinely subjective, that is,
that which is uniquely peculiar to an individual's psychic/mental processes, must be altogether
disjoint from the intersubjective, or, objective, i.e., that which can be treated in terms of abstract
categories. From which it follows immediately that the subjective cannot have a formal or
abstract (timeless) representation, but necessarily falls under the domain of the participatory
(temporal). The representational form of knowledge is context-free while the participatory form
of knowledge is radically context-dependent. I say radically because the dependence is upon
context which is not itself representational.

It is easier to understand the fundamental limitations of representations if one considers
them as artifacts of a system of representation. Just as the stream cannot rise higher than its
source, so is it impossible for a process to be completely understood in terms of its
phenomenological byproducts (epiphenomena).

04/98

The process by which the phenomena are created is one with the process by which these
phenomena are sustained in existence. So the phenomena cannot succeed in pointing to the
processes sustaining them. So a phenomenological theory will never be "reality covering."

An important instance of this is the logical impossibility of creating a formal description of the
process by which formal descriptions are generally arrived at.
April 2011
This invokes the notion of
a category that cannot be arrived at by abstraction, but which subsists in some fundamental
process. On this view, consciousness as the essence of intelligence must itself be a fundamental
process to reality and not derivative. The brain therefore does not produce consciousness, but a
most merely structures, forms or channels this consciousness. This observation is, of course,
intimately related to the Godel Incompleteness Theorem. Only in appropriate dynamic
conjunction with this fluctuating energy matrix will any realization of a hardware design possess
the topological energy structure sufficient to tap the pre-existing "consciousness potential" of
spacetime. To have a past, something must be coupled to a context which is changing with time,
and this context cannot be a system which is, itself, context-free. Clearly, any realization of a
static blueprint for a computing device, regardless how complex, in the form of a dynamically
functioning prototype, will itself be merely a topological transformation of the blueprint from 2 or
perhaps 3 spatial dimensions to 4 spatial dimensions rather than the non - topological
transformation from 3 spatial to 4 dimensions of 3 space and 1 time. There is no need to invoke a
temporal description of the state space of the hypothetical computing device we have been
considering - the only reason we would attempt it is because we project our genuine temporality
onto the mind's eye realization of the computing device in its act of "functioning." This is an
example of the subtle and tenacious persistence of animistic thought into modernity. Henri
Bergson, in his essay, Time in the History of Western Philosophy, complained of a confusion,
which inevitably cropped up whenever metaphysicians attempted to analyze the problem of
motion. Within larger state spaces, however, computations must be performed through the
exploitation of indigenously available order already existing within the state space through
utilizing the dynamical attractors of the state space via an over arching structure linking them
dynamically. We must realize that "favorable combinations" are not "hit upon" by chance and
then magically locked in and sustained against the thermal fluctuations of energy which
supposedly originally led to their formation, but that these favored configurations, themselves,
represent configurations of least energy within a necessarily pre-existent system in which the
energy minimum configuration is already defined prior to its being realized in actuality.

Mathematically speaking, a minimization integral does not "exist" if the integral, or
various parameters of its argument, i.e., of which this integral is a function, do not satisfy certain
boundary conditions. In other words, it is only by virtue of nonlocal quantum correlations that
this system might unify itself so as to possess an objective simultaneity. But correlations within a
system imply convergent temporal evolution of the systems component processes. There is,
however, no place for the phenomenon of convergence within either deterministic computational
statespaces, nor within an ergodic dynamical system. Information is not here a conserved
physical quantity and so if in some context energy and information are inter-definable, this is
because within this context the principle of the conservation of energy does not strictly hold.

3/98

Conservation laws only apply to what may properly be termed substances. Prior to
the advent of atomic theory in the 19th Century, matter was thought to be a substance and therefore
a conserved quantity. With the advent of the theory of Special Relativity and Einsteins' famous
equation, E = mc2, matter was seen to be not conserved in some physical processes because of its
interconvertibility into energy, itself thought to be the physical quantity which was truly
conserved. But in light of advances of quantum theory, particularly within the subfield of
relativistic quantum field theory, which treats of virtual particle/field reactions, it is known now
that not even "energy" is conserved and so can no longer be considered to be the ultimate
underlying conserved substance or reality. To what substance can modern physics point which is
interconvertible with energy and which obeys a conservation law, qualifying as the substance of
physical reality, if you will?

3/98

Because energy is ultimately not conserved, there is a profound difficulty in making the notion
of objective space and time coherent. For space may only be objectively defined operationally in
terms of the spatial relationships of bodies composed of some conserved substance. Moreover,
time must be also operationally defined if it is to be understood as a genuinely objective concept,
that is, in terms of the more primitive notions of simultaneity, temporal order, and duration. Since
there may be no underlying permanent substance to render the existent objectively real, space and
time must be reduced to being merely relative and phenomenal.


Another reason to believe that a physical continuity equation does not apply to information
is that information appears to reside in between the discrete energy levels of crystalline, or
quasi-crystalline quantum systems, and so information is not here really localizable, in principle.
Any functionalist theory of mind must run up against mental states for which it cannot supply
corresponding functional states. This is because, in essence, identically prepared quantum
mechanical states, themselves constituting the most exacting definition of functionalist brain
states, frequently produce a wide variety of outcomes whenever measurements are performed on
them with respect to observables incompatible with that observable with respect to which the
quantum system was prepared. If functional states are thought to be neutral with respect to the
actual physical manner in which they are realized, then this means that one's functional theory of
mind does not take differing physical contexts into its account of how the particular contents of
consciousness originate in the appearance of distinct specific brain states. The interpretative
contextual structure must be the ultimate arbiter of the meaning of brain states, and these brain
states must remain radically ambiguous in the absence of such contextual structure - this structure
must not itself be "context-free." Two separate entities can never interact with one another as
exhaustively and subtlety as does the dynamical substrate sustaining their existence in interacting
with itself. There can be no ultimate commensurability of a medium with respect to the
representations within it. This is because the root abstraction underlying all further abstraction is
that of bringing into being the medium through which all representations are to be expressed.
06/98

This aboriginal process of abstraction, i.e., symbolic and syntactic structure construction being
itself necessarily non-formalizable, i.e., the process of abstraction is not itself a formal procedure.

There is something paradoxical about the indeterminate, and that is that its negation is not
itself determinate, and this seems to imply a kind of contradiction. The function of negation is
itself system dependent. Syntax and semantics are normally understood as being orthogonal
notions. All sufficient causes so-called are merely necessary causes operating in the presence of
that which complements and completes their action. But not just any "something" constitutes the
opposite or negation of nothing/nothingness, but only a something which is, itself, the unity of all
that might possibly exist, and the very essence of which is to exist. If the possibility space is itself
open, that is, infinite, then the notion of the negation of nothingness remains not definable.
Negation must remain a formal concept, an approximation for an action which contains but
transcends a negation. We see now that a given finite recursive structure comes into existence
through a process of uncovering or abstraction from a more complex whole - through a process of
negation.

This notion of what is called an Ergodic System, moreover, violates the principle of
relativity in the sense that, although different probabilistic weighting of particular states, or,
clusters of states, is disallowed for a case of genuinely random shuffling of states, nevertheless, the
probability weighting of certain state space configurations is permitted to be modified with time.




There seems to be two significantly different classes of mutations upon which natural selection
operates as a purely critical, as opposed to a creative, process. Firstly, and most importantly,
those mutations occurring to the regulatory genes, and secondly, those mutations affecting the
kinds of proteins which are made available to a developing organism, the so-called point, or
structural, genetic mutations.





There is something paradoxical about the indeterminate, and that is that its negation is not
itself determinate, and this seems to imply a kind of contradiction. It is only meaningful to
think of the negation of a determinate structure or thing within a particular system of categories.
The definition of the function of negation is itself system dependent, and so, when one speaks of
the indeterminate in general one is engaged in a subtle self-contradiction - subtle in the sense that
the notion of contradiction is, itself, a logical or syntactical notion whereas the origin of the
particular contradiction facing us, with respect to the notion of the in general determinate and its
negation, is one of a distinctly semantic nature, and syntax and semantics are normally understood
as being orthogonal notions, or independent of each other. They are related through a
conventional agreement about their possible application.

There is no such thing as nothing. Nothing, by its very nature, is a nonexistent entity: it
is its own negation. We might be tempted to say then that "something," being the opposite of
nothing, must exist. But not just any "something" constitutes the opposite or negation of
nothing/nothingness, but only a something, which is, itself, the unity of all that might possibly
exist, and the very essence of which is to exist. In other words, nothing, not being possible
because containing within itself its own negation, implies that there must have always been
something (or other).

6/97 A thing which is its own negation is the dual opposite of that which contains within itself
the sufficient reason for its own existence.

But the only guarantee that there has always been something is the existence of something,
which contains within itself its own affirmation, if you will, the reason for its own existence. A
fundamental and most general property of a thing which contains within itself the reason for its
own existence is that of recursion, something which is defined solely in terms of itself, a recursive
structure. There are logical grounds for believing that there can be only one recursive structure,
that there can be only one self-existent entity - with this entity being the "ground" for existence of
all other entities. This reminds us of Spinoza's claim that there can only be one Substance.

A recursive structure, if it may be thought to be composite, would be composed of parts
which are totally interdependent upon one another; no part is the cause of any other without also
being itself caused by this other part and so if this recursive structure had a beginning in time, it
must have been given existence through a pre-existing, broader and more complex recursive
structure. We see now that a given finite recursive structure comes into existence through a
process of uncovering or abstraction from a more complex whole - through a process of negation.
We are reminded of Michelangelo's claim that a truly great work of sculpture already exists within
its marble block and that all he did in order to produce his works was merely to free them from
the marble in which they were imprisoned.

The distinction between the "mental" and the "physical" may be drawn in the following
way: both are wholes composed of parts, both possess principles of organization, but what is
termed a physical whole is defined exclusively in terms of its constituent parts while the "parts"
which "compose" what is termed a mental whole are, themselves, defined in terms of the whole
which they compose. Such acts of abstraction from a "whole" which is in reality an open system,
that is, infinite, which is to say, indeterminate, must be initiated/constituted from an arena which
contains spacetime and not, rather, contained within it. The reconstruction of a mental whole
must be guided in a top - down manner whereas the construction of a physical whole must be
guided in a bottom - up manner. The principle of a mental whole must exist prior to its actual
realization ( in terms of whatever substance).

Without substance change is not possible. Coextensive with this principle is: change owes itself
to a lack of determination, to a deficit of Being, to negation. From which it at once follows that
substance, rather than being the seat of being, of thinghood, as common sense conceives it to be, it
owes its existence, to the contrary, to a lack of being. It is not possible for a determinate thing to
be made up out of substance insofar as this thing possesses determination.

01/97 We might also say that without activity substance is not possible. The objection
naturally arises, how can one posit activity as prior to substance since any activity must be an
activity of some thing or things. This objection, natural enough, contains the assumption,
implicitly, that all activity ultimately reduces to that of some fundamental constituents which
themselves are not composite and which hence do not themselves possess any intrinsic activity,
that is to say, no internal activity. Here all change is conceived of as reducible to the changes in
the configurations of fundamental particles of substance/stuff, i.e., atoms. There is implicit here,
still more, an assumption about the nature of time: each of these atoms experiences the passage of
time in a completely indifferent manner. In a word, if the phenomenon of activity is exhaustively
pervasive, if all things are constituted out of activity and/or the potential for activity, then no real
substances exist, only the appearances of such.

6/97 But the physical concepts of activity and potential may be interdefinable so that neither is
primary. The general temporal evolution of potentials may be thought of as activity, while
activity within an open system cannot occur within a finite possibility space so that the potential
for novel patterns of activity is always present. In this way, activity itself must always possess
potential; the potential is never merely so, but must itself always be undergoing activity.
Spatiotemporal scale may become established through a complex system of decoupling of spatial
and temporal frequencies of some abstract region of the quantum vacuum field from itself.

We have said elsewhere that any particular thing must be a particular determination of
ground at one particular time and another determination of ground at another particular time, if one
is to suppose that the very same thing has continued in existence from that time to the other time.
It is easy enough to see that continuity is required for the subsistence of what is called historical
time which we will henceforth refer to as temporality. Indeterminate substance is the only basis
for the continuity underlying all change. However, indeterminate substance, not possessing a
complete description at any particular time, must itself be comprised by activity. We must realize
that "favorable combinations" are not "hit upon" by chance and then magically locked in and
sustained against the thermal fluctuations of energy which supposedly originally led to their
formation, but that these favored configurations, themselves, represent configurations of least
energy within a necessarily pre-existent system in which the energy minimum configuration is
already defined prior to its being realized in actuality. Darwinian natural selection is in reality
just the channeling of genetic drift which is entirely composed of neutral, randomly occurring,
point (structural) mutations of amino acid codons, i.e., base pair triplets. Three things not
"explained" by natural selection:

1) the fact that the DNA molecule contains information

2) the fact that this information contained within the DNA can be expressed through the coding of
protein structures.

3) the original formation of the gene regulatory, genetic cybernetic control structure.

The transformation occurring within an informational/ cybernetic system which owe to the
influence of context upon the system cannot be reductively understood in terms of operations
definable within this system. Within a closed computational state space, which is to say, a state
space with merely a finite number of distinct possible states, there is no room for the operation of
such principles as convergence. The phenomenon of convergence is fundamentally nonlinear in
nature. Conservation of momentum and energy is strictly maintained within this system so long
as it remains closed. This is, of course, assuming that the system containing the first system is
itself a larger closed system so that action and reaction of the smaller system upon the larger and
vice versa is maintained. In a closed dynamical system, momentum and energy are each
conserved separately. This type of conservation law is much more restrictive than the mere
conservation of momentum/energy conceived of relativistically as the conservation of
four-momentum. Energy which is only locally connected, say through the operation of classical
cause and effect, may produce the appearance of convergence or convergent processes within a
system exchanging this energy, but this convergence will be merely statistical in nature and will
necessarily be "short-lived" and will not exhibit robust stability in the face of thermal
perturbations, for instance. The emergence of order in such a system is only an appearance,
therefore, and cannot be built upon to produce greater order.

Locally-connected energy obeys the continuity equation of classical physics and cannot,
therefore, be thought to possess or "contain" information content. In other words, statistical
changes in momentum and energy, wherein momentum and energy are each separately conserved,
cannot produce the coherence required by the system in order for it to acquire stability as a
self-existing and semi-permanent entity. Nonlocal connectivity cannot be accommodated within
the spacetime of classical relativity. Nonlocal quantum correlations point to the existence of a
continuum transcending that of classical spacetime. We cannot simply identify this transcendent
realm or continuum with the infinite dimensional Hilbert Space of Quantum Mechanics because
the structure of any given Hilbert Space must vary in a spatiotemporal manner through the
spatiotemporal evolution of the wavefuntion, Psi(r,t).

Intentionality is a temporal coherence on a larger scale than that required by ordinary
system-dynamic coherence, which is based upon reverberative feedback. It is, by the way,
doubtful whether a state space is definable over an infinite number of distinct possible states. In
fact, a Hilbert space cannot be defined for a continuous spectrum of eigenfunctions; such a
continuum must be first approximated in terms of a "near-infinite" set of "nearly-continuous"
spectrum of eigenfunctions corresponding to a pseudobounded wavefunction.

Until the phenomenon of Ontogenesis is fully understood, naturalistic science hasn't a ghost of
chance of ever understanding the much broader and deeper phenomenon of Phylogenesis.

Within a closed thermodynamic system, in which conservation of energy must hold, the general
effect of perturbations upon ordered structures such as macromolecules is to degrade these
structures with concomitant increases in entropy. The random perturbations, which are,
themselves incapable of sustaining the existence of ordered structures, cannot be invoked to
explain the origin of these very same ordered structures. In this assertion I am adhering to the
view, first clearly stated by the rationalist philosopher Leibniz, that "those conditions sufficient to
create a thing are necessary at every succeeding instant to sustain this thing's existence. These
conditions are the activity of abstraction, which is continuous and never perfectly completed. The
notion of sufficient reason is dependent on the possibility of derived self-existence.

Within the theory of quantum mechanics, however, the principle of the conservation of energy
does not generally hold, even for those systems, which, classically speaking, must be considered to
be closed. Within such systems, therefore, the 2nd Law of thermodynamics is not, strictly
speaking, valid. It is perhaps not the quantum nature of the Universe itself, which renders the law
of conservation of momentum invalid, but the fundamental fact of the Universe's being a radically
open system. What are called critical processes and what are called creative processes may act
individually within a particular dynamical system, or even in combination with one another, but
either cannot be reductively described in terms of the other. It is these seemingly magical self -
organizing properties of matter, owing to the recursiveness of its ultimate "constituents," which
make any attempt to calculate the "improbability" of biological macromolecules an incoherent and
meaningless enterprise. Similar activities are the routine pastime of myriad scientifically inclined
creationists attacking evolution. The staggeringly large numerical ratios which they cite against
the "chance occurrence" of the simplest eukaryote DNA are calculated upon a permutational
/combinational modeling of a prebiotic "soup" in which chance collisions continually occur
between precursor molecules, e.g., peptides, amino acids, nucleic acids, etc.

The
coherence and cohesion of combinational-permutationa systems implies the existence of a finer
grain of dynamics underlying the explicit kinematic statespace. Applying the Anthropic
Cosmological Principle here, we should suppose that any world which Man emerges into (or out
of, c.f., Alan Watts), which happens to contain molecules encoding biological information, would
most likely possess an overdetermined causality, i.e., many different pattern or large classes of
patterns of genetic base pair sequences would code for more or less the same human species. And
or course, if we are honest with ourselves, the Anthropic Cosmological Principle isnt about some
novelly peculiar logic that makes the existence of the human species virtually overwhelmingly
likely in the Universe, its about the virtually overwhelmingly likely existence of you in the
Universe, to paraphrase Joseph Campbell.

The serious problem with such a modeling approach is that it is not an empirically derived
statistical calculation as in actuarial computations, where a distinct probability is assigned to each
possible event within a pool, based on the observed relative frequencies of each event, but is an
abstract calculation where the probabilities are fixed at the outset and remain unchanged
throughout all series of calculations. In this way so-called scientific creationists beg the question
of evolution's possibility. For example, there are a vast number of nucleic acid reactions taking
place within the ribosome organelle of every living animal cell which in the absence of certain
mediating enzymes will take place anywhere from 9 to 20 orders of magnitude more slowly than if
these enzymes are present - the ribosome is responsible for "translating" the coded information of
nucleic acids into various macromolecules (proteins) and in so doing expressing the genotype of
the developing organism. We see from this example that the probability of the occurrence of
various macromolecules essential to the appearance of the first reproducing, metabolizing organic
units begins infinitesimally small when the molecule's precursors are yet unavailable, but that this
probability grows by large discontinuous jumps each time one of these precursors, the precursors'
precursors, etc. arise inadvertently in the prebiotic "soup" so that by the time the exhaustive set of
macromolecular precursors is present, the formation of the original macromolecule is virtually
assured.

The ribosome itself, despite its inordinately complex structure, has been observed under
experimental conditions to reform spontaneously after having been dissociated within a carefully
prepared enzyme bath into its precursor polynucleotide constituents - and this within the space of
only several hours! It is indeed true that a countless variety of different enzymes (of the precisely
correct type) must be simultaneously present along with the polynucleotide matrix for this
seemingly magical act of spontaneous self - organization to occur. This is because the self -
organization of such an enormously complex organic structure depends, throughout the entire
process, upon the almost simultaneous juxtaposition (collision is a better term) of three or more
precursor molecules which all happen to have the exactly correct spatial orientation, with
sufficient kinetic energy to overcome the activation energy barrier against the reaction occurring.
It should be noted here that just the chance of any three compatible molecules ( in terms of a
desired product ) colliding at once with the roughly correct spatial orientation is an event with a
probability only infinitesimally greater than zero - let alone the question of proper activation
energies.

And so, even if the primordial Earth possessed the appropriate reducing atmosphere with
oceans chalk full of all of the required precursor molecules for the ribosome to properly form,
without the necessary catalyzing cofactors ( the enzymes ) there would not likely have formed a
single such structure by this late epoch. Then perhaps there must have been an extremely long
period of time during which the necessary enzymes appeared on the scene, one might think. One
suspects, then, a similar self - organizing process behind the formation of these necessary
enzymes, the only difference being that the precursors which we are now concerned with are
simpler, while their precursors must have been simpler still, and so on. But the precursor
macromolecules for many particular enzymes have, indeed, never been manufactured ( because we
don't know how to do it), but have to be obtained from more complex molecules than themselves,
if not from living or recently living organisms. The theory of evolution, chemical evolution in
this case, has secretly conditioned us to believe that there must be some definite if inordinately
complex sequence: precursors + cofactors ~ simpler precursors + cofactors ~ etc. leading back to
the very simplest organic molecules which form by self - organization spontaneously and easily in
a wide variety of environments and without the need for cofactors or helper molecules of any kind,
and that it must have been such a process (only in reverse) which ultimately lead to the first self -
reproducing biological units which could then be developed further through Darwinian natural
selection.

3/97 It is interesting for opponents of the Darwinian theory that, by far, most of the favorable
characteristics which have been selected for by the process of evolution have never before been
manifest in nature since they are the phenotypic expression of heretofore untried genetic
combinations. This rueful fact for Darwinians suggests that the greater part of the driving force
behind the progressive complexification of living forms is owing to a physical process which
cannot ever be captured within the purview of the natural selection mechanism, which is purely
critical in its action, as noted elsewhere, and this process is itself fundamentally creative. Natural
selection did not engender the genetic code since it necessarily presupposes the prior existence of
this code for its efficacy in bringing about more complex organisms.

The notion of self - organization gives some of us pause because it concerns a natural
process which sits precisely on the fence between what might be called less - than - self -
organization, i.e., formation from simpler components, and what is aptly called greater - than - self
- organization, i.e., formation from more complex components - and it is just such a notion which
strongly suggests a top - down hierarchy within the natural order which can only have intelligence
at its apex.

At every step in the chain in the formation of higher level precursor molecules, the
mediation of the required reactions is accomplished via self - organization principles: those who
attempt to calculate the probability against "chance" formation of important precursor molecules
forget a very important general principle first articulated by the great rationalist philosopher
Leibniz - which is - that set of conditions which in combination are sufficient to produce some
complex structure must necessarily remain in operation at every succeeding moment to sustain the
existence of this structure. The upshot of this is that a complex structure, which owes its origin to
mere chance, cannot endure, still less could it respond to its environment in an adaptive fashion.
There are possible boundary conditions which might be easily placed upon the dynamic of the
"flux" which are nonetheless infinitely improbable as "natural" occurrences, which is to say that
the operation of intelligence is required to institute them.

The asymmetrical nature of time perhaps has some bearing on the hierarchical structuring
of complex macromolecules. The fact that a molecule has been formed from a set of simpler
constituents does not guarantee that it can then be decomposed back into this set of constituents.
Similarly, the fact that a molecule has been broken down into a set of simpler constituents does not
guarantee that it can be recomposed from this selfsame set of constituents. Geometric
symmetries are responsible for the time constancy of dynamical quantities. Symmetry under
translations in the x-direction, for example, is responsible for conservation of momentum directed
in the x-direction. Similar statements apply for the y and z directions. This implies that energy
is conserved only for operations, dynamic systems, etc., which are symmetric under time
translations. In other words, energy is only conserved in system whose temporal evolution is
reversible. Perhaps the asymmetrical nature of temporality implies that any sufficiently large set
of macromolecules may be partitioned into two disjoint parts; those molecules possessing a bottom
- up structure and those possessing a top - down structure. This distinction, which I am drawing,
is not a solid theoretical one; it is a pragmatic distinction, which assumes that status of a theoretical
distinction when we refer to molecules occupying either extreme end of the probability spectrum
(in terms of their ability to form "naturally" from simpler parts).

Causality always takes place through a medium of sheer unrestrained activity. This
ultimate medium's own activity cannot itself be causal in nature, but must transcend causality.
Causality presupposes the medium in which it operates. This is because causal interactions
always take place between determinate entities and so always at a particular level of abstractness.
There can be no interaction in a causal sense of parts with wholes.

Causality, which may be figuratively thought of as "horizontal interactions," is transcended
by what might equally figuratively be termed "vertical interactions," although a better term for this
might be abstractive or concretizing transformations, depending upon whether one is speaking of
transformations taking a system to levels of higher or lower levels of abstraction, respectively.
The relationship between the horizontal and vertical interactions, so called, is analogous to the
relationship between the temporal and the eternal. It should seem self-evident that the process by
which abstract categories are brought forth, i.e., abstraction, must itself, defy any attempt to
formalize it in terms of a finite set of abstract categories particular to a specific level of
abstractness within the hierarchy of all possible abstractions. Abstraction, being a temporal
process, cannot be captured within an atemporal framework - there will never be a set of equations
or otherwise abstract relationships which will be able to tell us what distinguishes a moment in
time when it is present from the same moment in time when it is past.

Intuitively, we may say that this distinction lies between this moment, when separated from
the ground which brought it forth, and this moment during the instant in which it was continuous
with its ground, which is to say, the instant in which its ground was bringing it into being. The
ground itself is, of course, never separated from itself and so is always in the present. This
prephenomenal ground, since it is always bringing things into being, since this is the very essence
of its nature, cannot itself be a being of any sort. Temporality lies with indeterminateness,
openness and indefiniteness. Time, which we are thinking of as temporality in the past, is the
history of successive determinations of the indeterminate ground wholly from outside itself. The
ground is determined by itself as other. In other words, for the ground of being, its subjectivity
and objectivity are one. Subjectivity and Objectivity are only separated through the action of
determination. The wholly indeterminate requires no explanation and, in fact, transcends the
notion of existence because existents are simply various determinations of ground.

12/96 From which it follows immediately that the interdeterminate ground transcends the
categorical distinction of existence versus nonexistence; and these categories are seen in light of
this to be not genuinely disjoint, not because these categories in reality overlap though understood
as distinct, but in the sense of these two "fundamental categories" not being conjointly exhaustive:
whether or not ground is presently determined as some particular manifest form is forever an issue
independent of the necessity of ground's being. To say either A or not-A says nothing about the
ground's intrinsic nature. Even to posit such a nature (per se) for ground is simply to, once again,
indulge in a specification of one of its possible determinations. Here we are implying a
distinction between what is called being and what we might term "the merely existent." Causal
relationships are always partial in nature and therefore are always mere approximate relationships.
This is because causal relationships can only exist between determinations (existents) which
belong to different moments in time, and in the intervening time the "wake" of the earlier
determination has necessarily "spread" in its influence on later events, although this earlier event
prevents the later from being exhaustively determined by the instantaneous context of its present
moment. The past is always free to change, but only within the boundaries set by its original
determination. That which is in principle unknowable is not secretly describable in terms of
some deterministic algorithm, but only by an algorithm, which is in principle unknowable, that is
to say, in principle incomprehensible. That description, which does not depend upon temporality,
cannot capture the subtleties of the action of the quantum vacuum, itself, the timeless (eternal)
originator of temporality. That which is nondeterministic is noncomputable in its operation.

The two postulates of special relativity may be unified under this single postulate: the
vacuum behaves in relation to light as though it is not supporting its propagation. In other words
this medium of virtually infinite energy density must behave as though it is not supporting the
propagation of light. The Lorentz invariance of the vacuum is demonstrated by the orderly many
in which the correlational structure of vacuum fluctuations systematically changes under a Lorentz
transformation. I imagine that a propagating gravitational field (not necessarily a wave)
passing through a region of the vacuum must effect a sudden change in the correlational structure
of the spin-0 and spin-1 fluctuations of this vacuum in a manner that is characterized by a change
in the local density of collective spin-2 fluctuations. This change to the correlational structure of
the local region of the vacuum could not have been predicted from a tracing out of the past
temporal evolution of this local region. So the transformation of the local vacuum should not
normally be essentially causality-preserving, except for the fact that, included in the
transformation of this vacuum is also a change in its Heisenberg uncertainties in postion,
momentum, time and energy, which mask the causality violations. So causality is not merely
determinism; it is
@$
determinism combined with a reliable mechanism for hiding causality
violations. This is in accord with Heraclitus notion that the latent is the master of appearances.

It is not possible to define a deterministic trajectory in phase space if the phase space of
the system is expanding, say, due to the expansion of the Universe. This is because no
non-arbitrary one-to-one functions of the phase space variables can be defined to represent the
deterministic evolution of the system through the expanding phase space. In other words, there is
no non-dynamical embedding "superstatespace" in terms of which the evolution of the trajectories
with respect to the state space variables of the expanding state space may be defined. We always
gain knowledge of a system's behavior through the positing of a deterministic model of the system,
but at the expense of relegating understanding of the motive mainspring of the system to the
mysterious. Kinematics ignores the dynamics, which sustains the illusion of the permanence of
the entities with respect to which the kinematic variables are defined: Time cannot be captured
within a formal description.

EXPERIMENT: If very sensitive spectroscopic observations can be made of the deflected
stellar images predicted by general relativity to occur during a total solar eclipse, then chromatic
dispersion of the various optical wavelengths may be observed indicating that the true mechanism
of gravitational light deflection is not on account of space-time curvature produced by the Sun's
mass, but due to the refraction of the starlight on its passing through a vacuum of radially
decreasing zero-point energy density. We would expect the zero-point density of 3-momentum
of the vacuum to actually increase in step with the radially decreasing vacuum energy density.
Since we assume that in free space the fluctuations in vacuum four-momentum (which are either 0
or fall outside the scope of T
i,k
) are equipartatively distributed among the four distinct
four-momentum components, any decrease in the density of energy fluctuations in the vacuum
would be expressed in an equal increase in each of the 3-momentum components (if geometry, i.e.,
curvature, is not taken into account) equal to the cube root of E
vac
Now it is the geometry of
the matter distribution as well as its density distribution which determines the geometry of the
redistribution of the vacuums four-momentum fluctuation components.

DISCUSSION: This is due to the general properties of refractive media where wavelengths of
different energy (different size) traversing a refractive medium must follow slightly different
trajectories with shorter wavelengths being refracted more than longer wavelengths. Since the
vacuum's zero-point energy is the zero-calibration of all energy measuring instruments, it is
expected that the energy of a photon passing through a vacuum of increasing zero-point energy
will experience an apparent shift in its observed energy (gravitational redshift ) commensurate to
the change in the zero-point energy between the point of its emission and the point of its absorption
( by an energy measuring instrument ). Gravitational time dilation is also explicable in terms of
the proposed vacuum mechanism of gravitation.

EXPERIMENT: Observed decreases in the barrier tunneling probabilities within a "de-tuned"
resonant cavity. This cavity would enclose the potential energy barrier and will possess a specific
geometry such that vacuum electromagnetic field fluctuations are suppressed which possess an
energy approximating the difference in energy between the tunneling particle and the potential
barrier.

EXPERIMENT: Set up a series of Casimir capacitor plates in which the separation between the
plates is changed by a discrete amount as one moves in line from one plate to the next. Starting
from the end of the series where the plate separation is smallest, project a coherent beam of
photons through the series of plates and observe the shift in the beam's frequency. The fractional
change in the vacuum electromagnetic field energy density should give the fractional change in the
frequency (energy) of the coherent light beam. The beam may also be projected through the
series of Casimir plates at a small angle and the amount of refraction of the beam measured.
There is a practical problem concerning the interpretation of the energy uncertainty of unstable
"elementary" particles. Physicists do not seem to have convinced themselves as to whether this
energy uncertainty which is responsible for the eventual decay of all unstable particles is to be
understood as being inherent in the structure of the particle itself, or as inherent in the energy
structure of the vacuum which perhaps induces the decay of the particle through perturbing energy
fluctuations of a fundamental nature. The fact that a particle possesses an uncertainty in its
energy, however arbitrarily small, implies that there is a nonzero finite probability that the particle
will experience a fluctuation in its energy large enough to induce decay of the particle. According
to Milloni, a preeminent thinker on the subject of the quantum vacuum, the energy uncertainty of
an unstable excited atom, for instance, is owing not only to the perturbative influence of the
vacuum electromagnetic field, but also to what is called "radiation reaction." Both of these
components play a formally equal role in composing the overall energy uncertainty, /\E, of the
unstable atom. Of course, the uncertainties in any observable, not just in the energy, are, we
might well say, radically overdetermined. This is because, for example, in the case of the energy
uncertainty, there is a truly indefinite number of different admixtures of eigenenergies which, if
superposed, will sum together to give one an energy uncertainty of precisely /\E, whatever /\E
happens to be for the system one is considering. /\p x /\x >= h and the tunneling of a particle
across a potential energy barrier can therefore be interpreted in two complementary ways: one
may suppose that the tunneling particle possesses a positional uncertainty which is greater than or
comparable to the width of the barrier, or one might suppose, contrariwise, that the momentum
uncertainty of the particle is such that there is a likelihood that the particle will experience a
momentum fluctuation strong enough to "boost" the particle "over" the potential barrier. Either
interpretation seems to adequately model the particle's tunneling across the potential barrier. The
first interpretation relies on the positional uncertainty inherent per the wave description and the
second interpretation on the momental uncertainty per the particle description. In the first case
we are thinking of a momentum fluctuation of a wavelike entity with positional uncertainty
whereas in the second we are thinking of a fluctuation in the particle's position to which is
associated a momentum uncertainty. We may say that the momentum uncertainty of a particle is
inherent in the particle while its positional uncertainty is induced by the attendant fluctuations in
its momentum whereas the positional uncertainty of a wave is inherent while its momentum
uncertainty is induced by the attendant fluctuations in the wave's position.

In the Fourier expansion of a function of x and t, f(x,t), which possesses discontinuous
endpoints, we find that no matter who many harmonics are added together, there will continue to
exist at these endpoints both an undershoot and an overshoot. This is what is called Gibbs
phenomenon. Interestingly, the magnitude of the overshoot is unaffected by the number
harmonics one adds together to construct the Fourier transform, F(w).
@$
In order for the
function to be properly expressed in terms of F(w), either we must deviate from perfect
orthogonality of the energy eigenfunctions which we are summing together to approximate f(x,t),
or we must not permit f(x,t) to be truly discontinuous. This suggests that an interaction of
amplitudes corresponding to extremely low probabilities underlie the dynamics of quantum
tunneling phenomena.
July 2011
There is grist for an analogy here which might be used to help
illuminate the problem of evil in Christian theology, c.f., WKB approximation of potential barrier
problem, imaginary momentum of a tunneling electron, Gibbs phenomenon, electromagnetic
fringe phenomenon, Gibbs free energy, wavefunction basis functions, analyticity of a function,
Heisenberg uncertainty and Hawkings chronology protection mechanism, etc.


Spacetime fluctuations are related to momentum-energy fluctuations in the sense that the more
violent the spacetime flux, the more calm becomes the momentum-energy flux. The most precise
spacetime trajectory would them be determined by fluctuations of momentum-energy of the
greatest possible violence! A serious problem for general relativity presented here is that violent
momentum-energy fluctuations should normally be associated with equally violent gravitational
field fluctuations, i.e., gravitational waves or great energy, but this is inconsistent with mild
fluctuations in the spacetime metric.

No massive body can travel faster than the velocity of light because there is no stable,
continuously existing medium, as in the case of the "still air" for sound, which supports the
propagation of light. Rather, the quantum mechanical vacuum, specifically the quantum vacuum
electromagnetic field, "supports" the propagation of real electromagnetic waves, i.e., real photons,
in the particle description. This medium supportive of the transmission of light is composed of
vacuum fluctuations of momentum-energy otherwise known as zero-point fluctuations of the
vacuum. This quantum vacuum cannot serve as an absolute reference frame relative to which an
observer could move at some finite velocity, and this is why the velocity of light must always have
the same value, c, regardless of the state of motion of any observer. What prevents the vacuum
from being seized upon as an absolute reference frame is the fact that it is composed of energy
fluctuations which possess a positional uncertainty, /\x, and a time uncertainty, /\t, such that /\x//\t
= < c >. We say , < c > instead of c because locally, that is, over submicroscopic distances, the
velocity of light can be exceeded within "submicroscopic times." This is all to say that, the
velocity of light, c, = < c > over distances, x, > /\x over times, t, > /\t. This suggests that the
Minkowski light cone representation of spacetime must begin to break down as one approaches the
vertex of the light cone - the boundaries between the tiny region, absolute past/here-now/absolute
future, and the elsewhere region must lose its neat rectilinearity as one approaches spacetime
dimensions, x,t < /\x, /\t. It is as though spacetime possessed a kind of "granularity" made up of
three dimensional "cells" of minimum dimension, /\x, and lifetime, /\t. The lifetime of a given
cell may be re-expressed as a frequency, 1//\t, so that we may think of each "cell" as being
continuously recreated or reformed at frequency, f = 1//\t, where /\t is, again, the lifetime of the
cell. The energy, /\E, of each cell is constantly being absorbed by the vacuum and recreated at the
frequency, f, described above. An analogy with one's personal computer will serve to help us
understand how what has been said thus far bears on the problem of the origin of the finite,
not-to-be-exceeded value of the speed of light, c. It is obvious upon a moment's reflection that
if one "grabs" an icon on the left hand side of one's computer screen by "clicking on it" once and
"dragging" this icon across the screen that one cannot move the icon in this way arbitrarily quickly,
but there is some precisely definable limit to how fast any object represented on the screen can
move across it. This limit, if one is talking about an "icon" the size of a single pixel, is determined
quite simply from two easily ascertainable parameters, the width of a "pixel," i.e., the minimum
image length scale or resolution of the computer screen, and the clock rate of the computer's CPU,
or central processing unit. For example, if the clock rate of the CPU is 100Mhz, that is, 100
million (108) cycles per second, and the pixel (assumed to be square) dimension is, say, 100
microns ( 10-4) meters, then the theoretical limit to how fast a pixel-sized "represented object"
may move across the computer monitor is about 108 x 10-4 = 104 meters/sec. This is an
extremely high velocity, and the actual practical limit is probably several orders of magnitude
smaller than this figure, say, around 10 meters/sec for an average sized icon. The reason for this
difference in the theoretical and practical limits in the "represented object," velocity, or the
"representational velocity" for a particular computer monitor we will go into in greater detail a
little later. Suffice to say here that the crux of the problem of the finite limit on propagation
speed has everything to do with the fact that the "objects" which we have been considering are, in
reality, not objects at all, but are merely "represented objects," or "object representations." As
long as one supposes, perhaps unreflectingly, that "physical objects" are hard and massy,
composed of some simple, undifferentiated "stuff" which persists through time indefinitely
because quite indifferent to the "passage of time," and as long as one conceives of space as a
"veritable emptiness" through which matter may indifferently pass, then the idea of an absolute
limit to the velocity of masses through "the void" must seem as arbitrary as the gravitational action
between masses separated by an empty void seems inherently mysterious. But according to
modern quantum theory, all operators corresponding to physical observables are decomposable in
terms of two fundamental operators, `A and `At, the annihilation and creation operators. This is
what is called the 2nd quantization formalism, and this theory supplants the semi-classical, "old
quantum theory" of Bohr, Rutherford, and Planck. The so-called "solar system" model of the
atom which is still being taught in high schools throughout the advanced, industrialized world is an
outstanding artifact of this early version of quantum theory. Thus far, the analogy with the
computer strongly suggests the type of mechanism which may lie behind the universal speed limit
represented by the velocity of light if one associates the pixel length and (clock rate)-1 with the
inherent length and time scales of spacetime, /\x and /\t, if, indeed, these exist. This would be
possible if the energy and momentum uncertainties, /\E and /\p, which engender /\x, /\t, could be
traced to the fluctuating momentum-energy of the quantum vacuum itself. We may argue in favor
of this in the following way.

There are two ways to interpret the decay of an unstable nucleus through the ejection of an
alpha particle. The traditional approach is in terms of the positional uncertainty of the alpha
particle which is "ejected" This particle has a nonzero probability of being found outside the
nucleus due to positional uncertainty of the particle, /\r. An alternative approach is to think in
terms of the energy uncertainty of this ejected particle. By virtue of a nonzero energy uncertainty,
there is a small probability that the particle will experience an energy boost, /\E, greater than the
nuclear binding energy associated with the strong nuclear force binding the particle to its nucleus.
Traditionally, this energy fluctuation was thought to have originated within the nucleus itself. It
is more likely that this fluctuation energy is supplied by the quantum vacuum in which the unstable
nucleus is embedded and with which it is in continual interaction ( momentum-energy exchange.

Call the energy of an energy fluctuation, Ex , and call any fluctuation in energy larger
than Ex, Ez. If the energy uncertainty, ^E, is thought to be associated with a particle itself, then
we face the serious problem of a nonlinearity in the probability distribution function describing the
spectrum of energy eigenstates which comprise the energy uncertainty of the particle. This is
because the occurrence of an energy fluctuation, Ez > Ex, implies that no fluctuation in energy, Ex
< E < Ez, has already been experienced by the particle, for this would have meant the previous
dissolution of the particle, whereupon the probability of energy fluctuation, Ez, of the particle's
intrinsic energy would become 0. So we see that the probability of the occurrence of perturbation
energy, Ez > Ex, i.e., P(Ez), must be modified so that the new probability, taking into account the
interdependence of all perturbation probabilities for energies, Ez > E > Ex, that is, P'(Ez),
becomes,

[ 1 - S(dP(E)) on [E
0
to E
x
] = S(dP'(E)) on [E
x
to E ]


This situation does not lead to a discontinuity in the perturbation energy probability function,
however, as

[ 1 - S(dP(E))],

is exactly zero at the "cusp" where the modified probability function, P'(E), begins and the original
probability function, P(E), ends, in the composite function, which is given below,

P = P(E), for 0 < E
< Ex

P = [1 - S(dP(E))], for E > Ex

However, if the original probability function, P(E), is normalized, then the new, modified
probability function, P'(E), cannot be normalized.

If, on the other hand, we normalize this new function, we then find that the predicted
probabilities for each of the energy eigenstates, which together comprise the total energy
uncertainty of the quantum mechanical system in question, will no longer conform to the results of
experiment because the original probability distribution function, P(E), is now no longer properly
normalized. This is because the original wavefunction, upon which the perturbation energy
probability function is based, is, in fact, the correct wavefunction - the modified probability
function, given above, is simply false: very simply, we must not interpret the energy uncertainty
of, e.g., unstable subatomic particles, as residing with the particles themselves, but with the
quantum mechanical vacuum state with which these particles continually interact, via constant
energy exchange with this vacuum; more accurately, the particles, themselves, are constituted by
various energy exchanges between the vacuum and itself and the particle is continually being
reconstituted out of the continual transformation of this vacuum energy. It is the organization of
this vacuum energy into a form represented by the particle which more or less possesses
permanence or persistence through time that we normally think of as intrinsic to a particle as such,
not the vacuum energy itself, since it is the cyclic replenishing of the particle's energy out of this
vacuum which itself marks the passage of time for the particle. This argument for the vacuum as
the origin of particle energy uncertainty follows from the assumption that the products of the
spontaneous disintegration of the original particle are collectively described by the original
particle's wavefunction even after the components have separated into which the particle has
disintegrated. Here we have a situation which is quite dissimilar in principle to the abrupt change
to the structure of the Hydrogen atom's ground state energy induced by the sudden switching on of
a magnetic field in its vicinity. The Hamiltonian of the Hydrogen atom is altered through the
sudden addition of the energy of the magnetic field, however, and this, in turn, precipitously alters
the wavefunction of the Hydrogen atom which is calculated from the Hamiltonian function via the
time-independent Schrodinger equation. Quantum physicists will say that the energy levels of the
Hydrogen atom were degenerate with respect to the spin quantum number until the switching on of
the magnetic field coupling to the atom's spin altered the Hamiltonian, and, hence, its attendant
wavefunction. The origin of the discontinuous change in the Hydrogen atom's wavefunction is as
much due to the intrinsic spin structure of the atom as it is to the sudden appearance of a magnetic
field to which the spin couples. In the case of the spontaneous disintegration of the unstable
particle, no new term need be added to the particle's Hamiltonian to account for the disintegration
event which was not already present prior to this event and this is why no change in the particle's
wavefunction, discontinuous or otherwise, is observed, but, as we indicated already, the very same
wavefunction suffices to describe the products of the disintegration as were sufficient to describe
the particle during the moments leading up to this inherently unpredictable event. It is simply that
the original Hamiltonian describing the total energy of the unstable particle all along contained an
energy term which was unaffected by the disintegration event. This energy term must not have
been associated with the original atom, but was independent of it and equally present both before
and after the disintegration took place: the vacuum energy term of the Hamiltonian. The
influence of the vacuum energy term of the Hamiltonian is probably generally responsible for the
phenomenon of entanglement of widely separated quantum states which had previously interacted.
The nonlocal connectivity of the local vacuum energy terms in the Hamiltonians of the quantum
states, considered separately, may provide the mechanism for such entanglement of quantum
states.

01/97 Perhaps the same wavefunction describes the products of the disintegration because the
total energy of the products remains the same as that of the particle just prior to the disintegration
event and what makes this possible is a change in the vacuum energy term of the Hamiltonian
which compensates the changes to all the other energy terms, conserving the total energy. Or
perhaps, rather, the change in energy "causing" the disintegration, because <= /\E, cannot be
detected because energy perturbation possessed a duration of < /\t?

12/96 An alternate way to view the breakdown of the Minkowski lightcone description, which
seems to imply, by the way, that gravitation must be taken into account over submicroscopic
distances and times, is to think of c representing the actual infinitesimal/instantaneous value of
the velocity of light with the boundaries between "here-now" and "elsewhere" remaining
well-defined all the way to the vertex, but with greater and greater fluctuations in momentum and
energy as one approaches this vertex. The breakdown of the Minkowski description is now
represented in terms of exchanges of energy between the absolute past and absolute future and
exchanges of momentum between the "here-now" region and the "elsewhere" region.

5/97 This alternative description of the breakdown of the Minkowski lightcone description
replaces the more traditional interpretation of this breakdown where the spacetime boundaries
defining the cone's vertex experience geometrodynamic fluctuations in the topology of
submicroscopic spacetime which some theorists have tried to understand in terms of oscillations in
the relative proportions of graviton processes in the form of graviton creation/annihilation with
respect to graviton emission/ absorption. In the alternative interpretation, alluded to above,
virtual graviton interactions are rendered superfluous, being replaced by merely
creation/annihilation and emission/absorption of field momentum/energy in the form of a
spectrum of virtual bosons mediating the nongravitational fundamental forces, i.e., the
electromagnetic, strong, and weak nuclear forces, and of which gravitation is a phenomenal
manifestation. On this view, gravitation is a "parasitic force" which does not possess a unique
exchange particle. So one view of the vacuum is that of a matrix of "zero-point" fluctuations in
energy of lifetime, /\t, and momentum fluctuations possessing an uncertainty in position, /\x.

5/97 In the same way that momentum exchanges between subatomic particles mediate the
attractive/ repulsive forces acting between them in three dimensions and in this way constituting
the bound energy structure of matter to which inertia owes its origin - in this way the energy
exchanges between different simultaneity planes which manifests itself as quantum energy
fluctuations associated with Heisenberg energy uncertainty, mediate forces which may either
speed up or slow down the rate of cosmological expansion (time).
06/98
Such forces may be
intimately involved with the underlying mechanism of gravitation within the quantum mechanical
vacuum.



Now it just so happens that one way of expressing the speed of light is in terms of /\x and /\t, that is,

c = < c > = /\x//\t

In order for one to travel a measurable distance relative to a given vacuum fluctuation, one must be
able to travel a distance, x, > /\x within the time, /\t, that the fluctuation is in existence. This is
merely to say, that one must begin traveling at a velocity greater than c before one's motion
becomes measurable relative to the physical vacuum. But of course one must, presumably, first
have attained sub-light velocities relative to this physical vacuum before actually reaching c and
beyond. Now if one's velocity is not measurable relative to the reservoir of vacuum fluctuations,
then how can one's acceleration relative to these fluctuations be measurable or have a physical
meaning? If the value of some variable is constant, then surely its first time derivative is zero.
So if the velocity of the observer is necessarily zero relative to vacuum fluctuations, then one's
acceleration relative to these same fluctuations must also be zero. By Einstein's equivalence
principle, then neither can the vacuum accelerate relative to any distributions of mass and energy
within spacetime. This simply means that a given mass cannot exert a gravitational force upon
the vacuum fluctuations, nor can the vacuum fluctuations exert any gravitational influence upon
masses.

12/97 One of the effects of a gravitational field is that the vacuum actually acquires a mass
because the alteration in the vacuum statistics induced by a mass distribution falls off only
gradually with distance - with the inverse-square in the case of spherical mass distributions. The
density of momentum fluctuations ( in the form of the vector boson exchange particles ) in the
quantum vacuum is greater than its free space value in the vicinity of mass distributions.
Similarly, the density of energy fluctuations in the form of the density of virtual
fermion/antifermion creation-annihilation events within the vicinity of these mass distributions is
correspondingly decreased. Since the density of the Heisenberg uncertainty in 3-momentum
increases with closing distance to a given massive body, we should expect a net field momentum
of the vacuum in the direction of the body's centroid of mass. At the same time, the Heisenberg
uncertainty in the vacuum's purely imaginary component of its 4-momentum should decrease in
the direction of the centroid of mass of this body. Another way of looking at this is to think of the
virtual fermion/antifermion pairs as having two different interpretations: they may be viewed
either as an energy fluctuation or as a momentum fluctuation (photon, in the case of an
electron/positron pair)
06/98



So a test mass should experience an energy gradient in the direction of the massive body (or its
centroid). This energy gradient only points in the correct direction, i.e., toward the mass rather
than away from the mass, if the relativistic mass of the test mass is tied (in the appropriate manner)
to the momentum and energy density of the vacuum. As the test mass approaches the massive
body, the density of momentum fluctuations within the test mass increase in density - through the
enhancing effect of the increased ambient density of 3-momentum fluctuations within the vacuum
in which the test mass momentarily is residing, while the density of energy fluctuations within the
test mass decreases in a corresponding and complementary manner to the increase in the density of
3-momentum fluctuations. This effect is to be explained by the fact that the Pauli Exclusion
Principle applies equally to real and virtual fermions and by the additional fact that the mechanism
underlying both lasing and Bose condensation (which has the exact opposite effect upon bosons
which the Pauli Principle has upon fermions) itself also applies indiscriminately to both real and
virtual bosons. Because the 3-momentum and purely imaginary 4-momentum (i.e., energy)
fluctuation densities may be understood as components of a conserved 4 vector, i.e., that of total
4-momentum, the energy uncertainty of a local region of the quantum vacuum can be affected by
the presence of real bosons just as the purely spatial components of the fluctuating 4 momentum in
this vacuum may be affected by the presence of real fermions. The equality of the effects of real
fermions with real bosons upon the statistics of the vacuum affecting gravity may perhaps be
explained in terms of the equivalence in the description of mass as either fermions acting via the
Pauli Principle upon this vacuum or as purely bosons so acting, through the appropriate combining
of fermions into pairs so as to represent them as "effective bosons."

A very important paper on the origins of quantum noise contains a number of observations which
lend support to the above idea of treating the momentum and energy uncertainty ( in terms of their
fluctuations) as components of a four vector. Particularly supporting selections from this paper
(given below) are highlighted in blue with the remaining text in red.


The Origins of Quantum Noise in Photonics

We explain the origins of quantum noise and how quantum noise in lasers and amplifiers can be
described by classical noise sources.

I. Spontaneous Current

Classical noise is due to thermal motion. Quantum noise has a different origin. It results from
fluctuations that we associate with the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. For example, consider a
model of an atom consisting of an electron in a potential well shown in Fig. 1. Suppose the electron
is in its ground state. As a result of the confinement and the uncertainty relation of position and
momentum, the electron has momentum fluctuations. There is an energy associated with these
fluctuations which raises the ground state in energy above the bottom of the well.


Figure 1: Momentum fluctuations of an electron in
the ground state occur at the frequencies of transitions to excited states.


------------------------------------------------------------------------


This is elementary quantum mechanics, but one topic usually not discussed in quantum mechanics
is the frequency spectrum of the momentum fluctuations. In noise theory, the frequency spectrum
of a random variable is found by calculating the correlation function of the variable at two times.
This is most easily done in the Heisenberg picture of quantum mechanics, where the operators are
time-dependent and the wave functions describe initial states. A simple calculation shows that the
correlation function of the momentum operator at two times is


This calculation shows that the momentum fluctuations are composed of all the frequencies of
transitions from the ground state to excited states. Thus momentum fluctuations occur at optical
frequencies.

The electron is charged, so there is a current associated with the electron momentum:


We call this fluctuating current that is present even in the absence of an applied field a
"spontaneous current." It is a source of quantum noise.

Maxwell's equations, relating electromagnetic fields to charge and current sources, hold in the
quantum theory. For the propagation of transverse waves, they reduce to a wave equation for the
vector potential with a spontaneous current source:


We will refer to the vector potential as the "field." There is also current induced by the field. Just as
in classical theory, the induced current can be approximated as proportional to the field and
included in the wave equation by a dielectric function. The solution of this equation is a field
radiating from the atom and carrying away energy. It appears that an electron in its ground state
will lose energy.

II. Vacuum Fields

This energy loss is prevented by the other source of quantum noise: vacuum fields. The field of
radiation can be expanded in modes. In free space, the modes are transverse plane waves of all
wavelengths and propagating in all directions. The field of each mode oscillates sinusoidally at the
mode frequency like a simple harmonic oscillator. It is well known that a quantum treatment of a
mechanical simple harmonic oscillator results in an evenly spaced set of energy levels. By
assuming that the mode field amplitude and its time derivative are operators with commutation
rules similar to those of position and momentum, the mode also acquires an evenly spaced set of
energy levels (Fig. 2a). Each energy level is interpreted as a different number of photons in the
mode.


Figure 2: Energy levels of an optical mode (a) and electron energy levels in a semiconductor (b).
The positive frequency field and spontaneous current operators are lowering operators, while their
Hemitian conjugates are raising operators.


------------------------------------------------------------------------


The commutation rules lead to an uncertainty relation for the amplitudes of magnetic and electric
fields of the mode, which are proportional to the vector potential and its time derivative. Like the
atomic ground state, the mode ground state of zero photons has an uncertainty related fluctuation
associated with it, the field of "vacuum fluctuations," and these fluctuations raise the energy of the
ground state above the minimum classical mode energy of zero.

The atom that is losing energy in its ground state is bombarded by vacuum fields of the continuum
of modes of the surrounding space. Some of this energy is absorbed by the atom and it can be
shown that this absorption exactly cancels the energy loss by the radiation of spontaneous currents,
stabilizing the atomic ground state [1].

When the electron is in an excited state, vacuum fields are not absorbed but instead stimulate
spontaneous emission. The radiation emitted by the spontaneous current is also spontaneous
emission, so spontaneous emission has two sources. Dalibard et al. [1] have argued that the two
sources contribute equally to the spontaneous emission rate.

III. Shot Noise

As an example of how vacuum fields and spontaneous currents create noise, consider a noise free
optical signal traveling down an absorbing optical waveguide (Fig. 3). The signal field is
attenuated. The incident vacuum field is also attenuated, but is replenished by spontaneous current
emission from the absorbing electrons within the waveguide. The beating of the signal field with
the vacuum fields causes fluctuations in the energy flux. When the signal is detected by an opaque
photodetector, these fluctuations account for the shot noise observed in the photocurrent.


Figure 3. Signal and vacuum fields in an absorbing waveguide. Illustration of the sources of shot
noise: the beating of the signal field with vacuum fields and with spontaneous currents within the
photodetector.


------------------------------------------------------------------------


If some of the signal passes through the photodetector, there is an additional source of noise due to
fluctuations in the rate of optical absorption caused by the beating of the signal field with
spontaneous currents of electrons within the photodetector. The fluctuations in the rate of optical
absorption account for shot noise when the photodetector is nearly transparent.

IV. Order-Dependent Averages

The wave equation, Eq. (2), looks like a classical field equation. However, in quantum theory
current and field are Heisenberg operators and they differ from classical variables in several
important ways. Operators do not have numerical values. To obtain numbers and make theoretical
predictions we must evaluate averages of the Heisenberg operators within the initial states of the
system. For example, in Eq. (1) we calculated the correlation function of two Heisenberg
momentum operators at different times within the atomic ground state.

Heisenberg operators are usually non-commuting. For example, if we exchange the two
momentum operators by exchanging t1 and t2 in Eq. (1), we get a different expression. This shows
that the Heisenberg operators representing the same variable, momentum, at two different times,
do not commute, and consequently the correlation functions depend on the order of the momentum
operators. Correlation functions that depend on the order of the variables do not occur in classical
theory and the transition in the character of the noise from quantum to classical is a transition to
order-independent correlation functions.

Important examples of order-dependent correlation functions occur when we divide the field and
current operators into their positive and negative frequency parts. This can also be done for a
classical field. Because the field is real, the positive and negative frequency parts are complex
conjugates:


where, by convention, e iw t is a positive frequency. The product of the positive and negative
frequency fields is just the product of two complex numbers and does not depend on their order.

A similar division can be made for field and current operators. Because the average values of these
operators are real, the negative frequency operators are the Hermitian conjugates of the positive
frequency ones and are written with a dagger. It can be shown for vacuum fields that the "normally
ordered" average of the product, with the positive frequency field to the right, is zero, whereas it is
not zero for the other order. Similarly, the normally ordered correlation function of spontaneous
current for electrons in the ground state is zero. For an excited state, the other order of correlation
function is zero.


The reason why these averages are zero can be found by examining the matrix elements of
Heisenberg operators between a pair of energy levels, illustrated in Fig. 2(a) + (b). Only frequency
components at the transition frequency of the levels contribute to the matrix element. The positive
frequency Heisenberg operators act like lowering operators and only have matrix elements for
downward transitions, while the negative frequency Heisenberg operators act as raising operators.
The normally ordered averages within the ground state are zero because there are no levels below
the ground state to lower to. Similarly, the spontaneous current correlation function is zero in the
excited state because, for spontaneous current frequencies of interest, there are no levels above the
excited state to raise to.

V. Transition to Classical Langevin Forces in a Laser

These order-dependent averages are necessary to explain the properties of quantized radiation,
such as those of vacuum fields. However, laser noise is successfully modeled with classical noise
sources called Langevin forces that have order-independent correlation functions. How do these
non-commuting sources of quantum noise give rise to classical Langevin forces?

To answer this question, let us consider a simple model of a laser with a gain medium composed of
two level atoms (Fig. 4). The average upper level occupation is varied along the horizontal axis. As
it increases, we go from a cold system with only lower levels occupied to full inversion with only
upper levels occupied. With increasing inversion, the gain changes from negative to positive, i.e.,
from absorbing to amplifying. The normally ordered correlation function is due to electrons in the
excited state and increases with inversion, while the other order comes from electrons in the
ground state and decreases with inversion.


Figure 4: The gain, photon number and spontaneous current correlation functions are plotted
versus the average upper state occupation. The cases of a lossless and a lossy cavity are shown.
The correlation function curves cross at laser threshold, where spontaneous currents act like
order-independent classical Langevin forces.


------------------------------------------------------------------------


Suppose we have a closed lossless cavity containing only the gain medium. The photon number
then results from the equilibrium between spontaneous emission and optical absorption. Laser
threshold occurs at the transparency point, where absorption goes to zero and spontaneous
emission builds up. Notice that at laser threshold the curves of the two correlation functions cross,
resulting in spontaneous currents with order-independent correlation functions.

If we introduce a loss in the form of additional absorbing atoms that remain in their ground state,
e.g., atoms with short lifetimes in the upper level, the population inversion of the gain medium
needed to overcome loss and reach threshold increases. These additional atoms contribute to the
upper correlation function curve, shifting the intersection point to that of the new laser threshold.

We see that electrons in the upper level contribute to gain and to the normally ordered correlation
function. Electrons in the lower level contribute to loss and to the correlation function with the
other operator order. As photon number increases, gain approaches loss and the noise source
correlation functions approach the order-independent behavior of classical Langevin forces. It can
be shown that the transition to classical Langevin forces also takes place in open laser cavities,
where transmissions out of and into the cavity introduce loss and noise due to vacuum fields.

VI. Transition to a Classical Noise Field in An Amplifier

A similar transition to order-independent averages occurs for the noise field in a traveling wave
optical amplifier (Fig. 5). The incident vacuum field is amplified as it propagates along the
amplifying waveguide, but it retains order-dependent averages with the normally ordered average
equal to zero. Fields emitted by spontaneous currents of electrons in the excited and ground states
of the gain medium are amplified and contribute to the noise field. These fields also have
order-dependent averages. However, when all three contributions are included, the averages of the
total noise field can be shown to grow in an order-independent manner, with the difference
between the two averages remaining constant at its value for the incident vacuum fields. This
constant difference is due to uncertainty related field fluctuations. At high amplification, it is
negligible and the noise field, referred to as amplified spontaneous emission, can be treated as a
classical field with order-independent averages.


Figure 5: The averages on the noise field in an
amplifying waveguide grow in an order-independent manner.


------------------------------------------------------------------------


VII. Summary

Spontaneous currents and vacuum fields are complementary sources of quantum noise. Together,
they account for the stability of electronic ground states, spontaneous emission, shot noise and the
transition from quantum to classical noise that occurs in lasers and amplifiers. A broader
discussion of quantum noise in photonics, including derivations of these results, is given in our
review [2]. We can provide a reprint of this paper to anyone interested in this subject.

Brian,

What follows may well be an interesting paper in light of the possibility that the Universe
may possess closure mass. As you know, with merely a critical density of mass energy (no more,
no less) the Universe's expansion must slow down asymptotically, i.e., it keeps slowing but never
actually stops. So one would expect a gradual slowing down of masses along the ict axis, right?
But then to preserve four momentum there must be a compensating increase in real momentum.
Now imaginary momentum is just the energy of the quantum vacuum energy fluctuations which
mediate the advance of masses through time, i.e., the "time component" of the four momentum.
The real momentum fluctuations, you recall, are bound up in (no pun intended) the exchange of
spin 1 force carrying virtual particles (bosons) which mediate the binding forces holding matter
together. But is this all better understood in terms of conserved current densities, rather than in
terms of momenta and energy?

As an aside, I have often wondered if there could be some neat correspondence between inertial
mass and momentum fluctuations of spin 1 and between gravitational mass and energy
fluctuations of spin 0 (spin +1/2 spin -1/2 virtual pairs) and if, therefore, the equivalence principle
(is it the "strong" or the "weak", I can't remember!), that is, the equivalence of gravitation and
inertial mass for any given body might be attributed to the balance maintained between the altered
Bose and Fermi statistics of the vacuum with which masses interact (and, in fact, out of which they
are continually reconstituted from!) One might suppose that a fluctuation in four-momentum
which is suppressed in one form, e.g., electron/positron pair, might be expressed in another
form.

Brian, your idea that inertia arises from the difficulty that mass has in climbing out of its own
retarded potential well, I believe, fits in with this notion.

IMPLICATIONS OF NON-CONSTANT LIGHT VELOCITY


Dear Brian,

As you might well imagine, I'm very pleased, indeed, that the neutrino has been
discovered to have a mass of not less than 0.07 eV and probably closer to 0.1 eV! I always
strongly suspected that the neutrino possessed a small mass since it's a spin 1/2 particle which
perturbs the statistics of the quantum vacuum just as much as does an electron or quark. And
since we've been saying that the gravitational effects of matter stem from this matter vacuum spin
coupling, fermions through the Pauli Principle and bosons through the complementary "Pauli
Inclusion Principle", provided, of course, that the bosons are localized through the imposing of
appropriate boundary conditions.

On the question about the mass of freely traveling, "unbound" photons though, I have to
ask myself, "Wouldnt one expect that an extremely high flux laser beam would enhance the
probability of vacuum electromagnetic field fluctuations of the same energy, helicity, and
polarization, that is to say, of the same quantum state as the photons of the beam, at least in the
space within or very near to this beam? One might answer that, well if the photons are being
absorbed and re-emitted by virtual atoms within this vacuum, then maybe. Virtual atoms?
Virtual dogs and cats? Can only truly fundamental particles "exist" as fluctuations within the
vacuum? Is that the test of fundamental particlehood, to be reproducible as a vacuum momentum
or energy fluctuation? Interesting question, I think. Don't you?


P.S., you might want to do a couple of back of the envelope calculations with, say, neutrinos
constituting 90% or 95% of the mass of the Universe, and come up with a rough and ready figure
of neutrino mass which would succeed in "closing off the Universe." Gravitational, I mean, of
course. Let me know what you come up with, O.K.? Also, I don't believe that
neutrino/antineutrino annihilations have been observed. I wonder what kind of boson you'd get?
Probably a W or Z particle, I imagine. But I can't be sure. Gotta do some research on that one.



Talk to you soon then, Brian.

Best Regards,
Russell

THE DISCOVERY OF NEUTRINO OSCILLATIONS

However, the observer's motion cannot be measurable relative to the vacuum as long as he travels
with a velocity which is less than the velocity of light relative to any arbitrarily chosen reference
frame. This is because, at velocities less than c, the observer can only cover a distance relative to
any given vacuum fluctuation of x < /\x, where /\x is the positional uncertainty of the vacuum
fluctuation along the observer's direction of motion. The observer can travel no greater distance
than this since the lifetime of the fluctuation is just /\t = /\x/c, while his velocity is v c. But
relative distances, x, which are less than the positional uncertainty, /\x, are, by definition,
non-measurable. Let us now return to the question which arose in connection with our
computer screen analogy of the velocity of light problem. We said that the theoretical and the
practical limits on, call it cursor speed, was several orders of magnitude less than the theoretical
limit, that, practically speaking, the cursor, if you will, could move across the computer screen no
faster than, say, 10 meters/second, rather than the theoretical figure for an individual pixel of 104
meters/second. To a first order of approximation, this is due to the fact that the cursor is made up
of roughly 200 individual pixels and that what the computer is actually doing when one pulls the
cursor across the screen utilizing a mouse is moving each of the 200 pixels across the screen
simultaneously. This is effectively 200 times as many "calculations," consuming a minimum of
one clock cycle each of CPU time in moving a pixel a distance of 1 pixel. So apparently there is a
price to pay for maintaining the coherence of the cursor (as a single "object") so that it does not
distort or change shape as one pulls it rapidly across the computer screen. It is as though each of
the pixels is a "gnat," to borrow still another analogy, and if the "swarm" of gnats (the group of
pixels making up the cursor) is to move as a unit, then there has to be some kind of coordination, in
terms of information (or energy) exchanges between the gnats so that when one gnat takes the lead
and moves in a new direction (because it is the first to see an approaching obstacle, say) the other
gnats must get the word quickly enough so that the swarm can change direction as a whole without
deforming in shape.

The simplicity of physical laws is likely an illusion and more likely evidence that the Universe is a
simulation. The conceit that mankind is able to divine the secrets of the Universe, but at the cost
of overlooking the central secret we are living in a carefully managed computer simulation.

Life may have restarted as many as six times due to asteroid/planetoid impacts. At some
dividing line along the continuum of mathematical complexity a threshold may be crossed past
which no mind is possible that can grasp this complexity. The universal mind would then have
two forms, infinite and transfinite. The number line is actually dual-continuous with two
intertwined number lines, i.e., real immanent and real transcendental number lines. This is
because spatiotemporal variation in the ratio of diameter to circumference, i.e., pi, must always
be such as to remain transcendental quantity, though a changing one. The length of the
circumference must be transcendental. Is infinity a transcendental number? Are the immanent
and transcendental components of the real line parallel all the way to infinity? Or is one related
to the other as are the diameter and circumference of a circle?
Is gravitational relativistic mass increase coincident with relativistic increase in the binding energy
resulting from relativistic mass increase of force exchange particles, c.f., Feynmans parton model
of relativistic quarks.

Limitless substitution of cash flow media. At some point we arrive at the concrete
substantial/ethereal flow of contextualize information. What if the continuity equation applied
to nonlocal information? Transcendental numbers encode all possible topological relationships,
i.e., topological distinctness of transcendental numbers. Transfinite cardinality rather than mere
ordinality because transcendental numbers are infinite numbers and also name objects.

Bohms causality principle leads us to a vacuum statistics based theory of induced quantum
gravity i.e., a quantum gravity theory without any gravitation per se. The universe Psi does not
collapse in the face of an omniscient being because quantum uncertainty is ontological and not
epistemological? Disturbance of Psi is a disturbance to boundary conditions, not directly of Psi
itself where a hypothetical observer could ascertain Psis state. (Past of future)

Can genuine causality exist without classical correlations? The diverging superposed causal
chains in Schrdinger cat systems must break down at the Planck limit. Smallest black hole
meets largest quantum vacuum fluctuations not due to domination of quantum mechanics by
general relativity, but due to the intersection of GR and QM within the context of a correct
quantum gravity theory! This is to be expected because the vacuum does not gravitate and so the
strong equivalence principle is not strictly correct induced gravity theory or effective field
theory.

There is a reprocessing of human experience that closes it off and another that opens it up.
Percept cohesion, overdetermination . . . probability as irreducible (to closed field of
combinational/permutational elements and spontaneous decoherence as flip side to spontaneous
coherence.

Dan,

Im in a lot of pain after inguinal hernia surgery even with a hefty supply of Lortab! However, I had to
comment that I think that entanglement, the universal processor, Davies-Unruh radiation and Penroses
one graviton limit are all involved with the solution of the cosmological constant problem. I believe that
the vacuum energy density is partitioned between an almost infinite continuum of discrete (as is were)
Lorentz frames, each separated by energy level yeah, you guessed it each Lorentz frame energy level
(what I like to term Zeitschichten) is separated by a Planck mass worth of energy. Spread out the
immense predicted vacuum energy density across all of these zeitschichten (German for time slices) and
you get a more reasonable figure approaching the observed cosmological constant value. Entanglement
is conserved, but once physical processes attempt to go beyond the one graviton limit, there develops an
entanglement bandwidth bottleneck between the laboratory frame and neighboring zeitschichten, i.e.,
Lorentz frames, causing the cosmic CPU to have to guess at what the next state of the internally
nonlocally connected (with itself) laboratory Lorentz frame (zeitschicht) is, especially to include the
offending quantum system thats attempting to access entanglement information from its neighboring
Lorentz frames, causing decoherence or Psi collapse.
Theres more to this intuition, but it will have to wait until I am in a little less pain. I think the cosmic CPU
bandwidth for entanglement communications is of course limited by (in the absence of clever quantum
error-correction) the one graviton limit because its at this precise value of the needed energy bandwidth for
receipt and transmission of entanglement information that is equal to or greater than the entanglement
information coding capacity (storage capacity, if you will) of the immediately neighboring Lorentz frames.
If this is more or less correct, then one would expect the state of any quantum computer to lose its quantum
coherence in effect, yes, quantum computers really can tap into the information processing capacity of
parallel universes, but only to each immediately neighboring one. Otherwise, the one graviton limit is
exceeded for entanglement bandwidth of the coupling between quantum Lorentz frames 1A with its
neighbors, 2B and 3C, if you will. Whats that phone number again? Always nice hearing from a fellow
philosopher!

Hi, Robert. Maybe you remember me. I applied Halpern's theory of gravitons from atomic
transitions to HTSC Cooper pair for making a GASER and developed the concept with
another Robert, let's also see what he thinks of this story. Your approach is described here:
http://e-quantic.com/gv_ghrtz.htm . I indeed believe that the emission could be related to
s-d transitions (Cu 4s-3d electrons) in YBCO as Halpern teaches. If you can do the
experiment, this is fine, the soon we have a result, the soon we can start improving the same
and using the HFGWs for applications. My University is not helping. After eight years I
also have some ideas regarding the relation between QM and GR. GR is probably
becoming old.... QM is firmly alive. The best I can do now is to cite some web pages:

Entanglement is instrumental in the maintenance of thermal equilibrium? <entropy

entropy. (July 2008)
Rindler horizon (RH) expanding as a 2-sphere surface at the speed of light implies what
about storage of quantum information in vacuum nonlocality? The RH at first represents
merely the loss of nonlocally encoded information, but with increasing intensity of Unruh
acceleration develops a growing classical (Shannon) entropy component. Decoherence as
loss of vacuum nonlocality. Heat capacity of LiF chips, energy flux rate, rate of cooling
to surroundings. How can Brems photons be entangled? No hits on Google for
search string, <entangled Bremstrahlung> nor for <Bremstrahlung entanglement>, etc.
The five to 25 degree cone of Brems radiation has a tiny component mixed in of genuine
entangled photons, perhaps? But is this fraction so small that it cant really be
contributing to the Desbrandes-Van Gent effect?

The desire to control often masquerades as a desire for knowledge and understanding. If I
deepen my cooperative relationship with the other, e.g., Nature, then I become entitled to
information that comes to me in an evolutionary way. Connection and node, bridge and
bank are complementary as one and not the other. Rather each should realize that they are
both ends and means to each other and in indeterminate and changing proportions.
The nave realistic belief in God is founded on the nave realistic belief in a Gods Eye
view of so-called Reality. Since no team of psychologists and brain scientists observes
and records ones every move (and functional MRI response) throughout the course of
ones life, the sense of proportion possessed by a certain personality type demands this
all-knowing observer who can point out all of our moral (and growth psychology)
missteps so as to make our earthly tormentors sufficiently penitent for their moral missteps.
Like a Rindler horizon a vacuum nonlocality Decoherence horizon, c.f., vacuum energy as
dark energy. Accumulated memes of decaying soul as fertilizer for cosmic
consciousness evolution, c.f., human experiential data reprocessor matrix.
Why not work with the hypothesis that the Rindler horizon and the gravitational
Decoherence horizon are the very same boundary? So does the gravitational redshift then
become interpreted as a shortening of coherence lengths? The increasing Heisenberg
energy uncertainty (along the radial direction, outward) accounts for the increasing
probability rate of Decoherence, e.g., excited atomic and nuclear states, c.f., Desbrandes
and Van Gents (2004), on quantum entanglement mechanism of nuclear isomer excited
state lifetimes. These and similar considerations might offer a way to reconcile
gravitational time dilation with gravitationally enhanced (accelerated) Decoherence
processes. July 2011 Is it true that a Rindler horizon cannot form within a static universe,
i.e., one not undergoing cosmological expansion or contraction? April 2011 The
interpretation of spontaneous emission of excited atomic states in terms of stimulated
emission via virtual photons might suggest that there is an increase in the rates of
spontaneous emission or, shortening of the half-lives of excited atomic states in a
gravitational field, which on the surface seems to be at odds with what would normally be
expected on account of gravitational time dilation.
Someone with an IQ score that high must either possess a socially awkward side or runs the
great risk of being a sociopath (merely skilled at simulating proper social adjustment
though without really feeling belonging/connectedness). Sociopathy must involve a
certain degree of dissociation of socially constructed consciousness.
Vacuum energy may be partitioned among Lorentz frames separated by a single graviton exchange
(Planck mass). Acceleration is fundamentally irreversible as deceleration merely pushes one
(boosts) to still higher Lorentz frames. There must be a way to use shared quantum encrypted
keys to validate the manufacturing process for, e.g., pharmaceuticals.
Perception is the product of the mutual interference of the subjective and objective density
matrices, if you will, decoherence in which the role of the observer can have a large influence on
the character of the perceived system behavior.
Observer-induced decoherence is analogous to the disruption of the dreamscape that inevitably
occurs once the critical faculties of the dreamer begin operating within (and making up) the
dreamscape.
Perhaps quantum parallel universes may be identified with discrete Lorentz frames separated by at
least one graviton (Planck mass). Could this help us with the weakness of gravity paradox?
Each zeitschicht is connected within itself via Rezniks vacuum nonlocality and constitutes its
own Lorentz frame, c.f., falling neutron experiments demonstrating quantized gravity. Particles
can sometimes tunnel between zeitschichten, which can be a mechanism of gravitational
decoherence, i.e., neighboring Lorentz vacua as thermodynamic heat sinks for decohering
quantum coherent states. The one graviton limit delimits all characteristically quantum
phenomena, e.g., superposition, quantum tunneling, interference Psi-collapse, quantum
computing, etc. Relate Davies-Unruh radiation to notion of zeitschichten.
Timelike angular momentum has to be accepted as a rational notion because a Lorentz
transformation, specifically, a Lorentz boost converts a purely spatially distributed angular
momentum into one with both spacelike and timelike components spin and 3-momentum
degrees of freedom become entangled, in other words. We might wonder then how a Lorentz
boost might be expected to affect a composite spin-0 system, i.e., one in a Bohm singlet state. We
would start by analyzing how a Lorentz boost affects the entanglement of the component spin-1/2
particles in which the underlying entanglement of a singlet state is completely decohered?
Gravitational potential forms a squeezed vacuum by shrinking the energy distance between
neighboring zeitschichten. There is also a truncation of nonlocal quantum connectivity with
spacelike separated regions of the quantum vacuum electromagnetic field, which might affect
microtubule function as well as the decoherence processes within quantum computers. There
should be enhanced tunneling of fermion-antifermion pairs into observable spacetime. Virtual
boson exchange within the vacuum should become more energy degenerate as the vacuum
becomes more polarization entangled, i.e., increased vacuum polarization.

What exactly
is the relationship between Heisenberg uncertainty and quantum entanglement? More
specifically, can the HUP remain valid despite the effects of quantum entanglement?
March 2013
In
the Fourier frequency spectrum decomposition of a time domain function, the textbook treatment
always assumes that the basis frequencies are uncorrelated and are merely arithmetically summed
together. Clearly, if correlations between the basis frequencies are admitted, then the simple
relation /\E/\t >/= h must be qualified.
Does the fact that decoherence processes are accelerated by a gravitational field while time (and all
other symmetric temporal processes are dilated) pose a problem for the Einsteins equivalence
principle? During gravitational decoherence, the accelerated fashion because the bandgap
between Lorentz frames or zeitschichten is reduced, but the Heisenberg energy uncertainty is
correspondingly decreased as well. So does this mean that a gravitational potential doesnt really
pose a difficulty for the equivalence principle? The quantum vacuum is both more polarized and
more energy degenerate in a gravity field than in free space.
John Swaim in his arXiv paper, the Pauli Principle and SU(2) vs. SU(3) in Loop Quantum Gravity, arXiv:
gr-qc/0305073v1 that j=1 edges of spin networks dominate in their contribution to black hole areas as
opposed to j = .
Because of the dependence of the energy band gap between neighboring Lorentz frames (adjoining
parallel quantum universes) on the local velocity of light through the formula, /\E ~ sqrt[hc**5/G],
which fails to differentiate between horizons of black holes of different mass, it might be
reasonable to postulate a 2nd order term for the band gap energy formula. This may perhaps be
achieved by showing the dependence of the local velocity of light within a surface tangent to the
horizon of a black hole of a given mass.
Entanglement may be interpreted as a witness and a record of present or past coupling, exchange
carrier binding, boundedness (in the sense of initial and boundary conditions) of the now unbound,
separated components. Is this consideration relevant to Van Flanderns speed of gravity
controversy?
Is there an important connection between the principle of quantum entanglement conservation and
Einsteins weak and strong equivalence principles? There are two types of definitions of
adiabatic temporal evolution vis a vis decoherence and wave function collapse: dE/dt < /\E//\t and
/\E < mplc2. Where mpl is the planck mass, c.f., decoherence within a given zeitschicht vs.
decoherence between zeitschichten.
The fact that spacetime is not so much expanding as being remanufactured or updated as a
progressively larger 4-volume with time suggests that these new additions to the spacetime
continuum are not all that are being cast up or simulated by the background, transcendent
hyperspacetime, but rather the entire temporal evolution of spacetime is itself a simulation on a
hypertime registered on some cosmic CPU>
Van Gent and Desbrandes TLD experiment was attempted either
Within the decoherence window or
Outside the decoherence window
The decoherence of separated components of a unitary quantum system into what appears to be
correlated and quantum entangled subparts? We need to have data on the decoherence time of the
chips (or of the metastable exact states of trapped electron there). Take heat equation and
compare it with Schrodinger wave equation with specific regard to the phenomenon of thermal
decoherence. Look at 1st and 2nd derivatives of solutions to both equations.
Does the convolution integral of input and output signals (slave vs. master TLDs) show any
telltale signs of classical or quantum entanglement?
The relationship between Shannons bits and Von Neumanns qubits is exactly analogous to
Bohms relating of causal connections and quantum correlated fluctuations. Quantum coherence
is exchanged between the two basic quantum statistical (symmetry) components of the quantum
vacuum superfluid, c.f., experiments with entanglement swapping between He3 and He4
superfluids.
Metaphors are so effective because they are generalizations from concrete exemplars that secretly
embody or are informed by a principle that is not truly glimpsed until that principle is creatively
applied to at first seemingly disparate cases. In this way is Bohms principle realized as the
inductive grounding the deductive.
The transmission of superposed states, say between photons and atoms, i.e.., quantum uncertainty
is proof that entanglement underlies the transmission of information where the transmission of the
measurement-component of this information is always chronology-protected.
Are events so memorable because they are entangled with our future recollections of them?
Paradoxically, the space of intended meaning, of what we are trying to or may attempt to say, is
larger than the space of distinct linguistic sign strings.

@$Think of replacing the digits in Cantors diagonal argument with arbitrary but

must be analyzed to find an error.

The proposed definition of the new real number r clearly
contains a finite string of characters, and hence it appears at first to be a definition of a real number.
However, the definition refers to definability-in-English itself. If it were possible to determine
which English expressions actually do define a real number, and which do not, then the paradox
would go through. Thus the resolution of Richard's paradox is that there is no way to
unambiguously determine exactly which English sentences are definitions of real numbers (see
Good 1966). That is, there is no way to describe in a finite number of words how to tell whether an
arbitrary English expression is a definition of a real number. This is not surprising, as the ability to
make this determination would also imply the ability to solve the halting problem and perform any
other non-algorithmic calculation that can be described in English, c.f.,

Every middle school student knows that
the diagonal of a right triangle is larger than either of the triangles legs. In light of the above
solution to Richards paradox, we may perhaps glimpse an all along hidden defect in Cantors
diagonal. If Cantors diagonal is longer than it must be infinitely longer. And there is no
definition of infinitely longer that can be made consistent. Is there a hidden contradiction in
cantors diagonal argument? We can apply Richards paradox to unearthing the contradiction of
cantors diagonal argument Richards paradoxes founded on the notion that there is undefinability at
work. a similarly ill defined notion lies at the root of cantors definitions for his diagonal argument.
Part of the problem is the Cantor is using the logic of finite arithmetic to make propositions
concerning infinite quantities. If each nfinite real number is truly distinct then it takes an infinite
number of natural numbers to specify each.

The irreversible component of temporal evolution, what Bergson might have termed genuine
temporality is driven exclusively by decoherence inducing vacuum processes. Could this fact
give us a better understanding of the close relationship of time and energy uncertainty?
Reversible temporality is supported by coherent vacuum processes, moreover.

Does the distinction of nonlocal von Neumann information vs. local Shannon information have anything to
say concerning the distinction of intelligent design vs. Darwinian evolution? (Shannon developed the
theory of the limits of information transmission in the presence of noise.) Energy without information is just

Quantum Theory, p. 48, sec. 23, spin and spatial symmetry. Labels may mislead us but they also serve
the valuable function of tying active information to a historical and conceptual framework within the
conscious mind and so protecting the nervous system from havoc. This is the notion of managed horror
and the effective underlying principle to Freuds abreaction. When it comes to philosophical notions we
speak of things more in old age than we thought we had spoken of them in our youth. Perhaps one of the
principle functions of consciousness is, in addition to providing us with a simulation of the other (social
recursiveness here may be tied to the Dickean pluriform mythos), performs a psyche stabilizing abreactive
function the conscious mind helps to relieve the stresses on the unconscious mind as well as the
converse (the typical Freudian notion of the relation of the conscious to the unconscious minds). What
doesnt seem to have been considered in connection with attempts to reconcile the physics of the very small
(quantum mechanics) with the physics of the very large (general relativity) is the mechanism which
produces the phenomenon of the ordinary world of space, time and causality from a processual ground in
which these three are not yet distinguishable, i.e., the world of quantum nonlocality. Perhaps the physics
of the large and the small can only be unified not within consciousness but by virtue of consciousness and
not a general or universal consciousness, but an embodied consciousness, i.e., a consciousness projected
within a rational spacetime (causal spacetime).

This is reminiscent of the ad hoc exploitation of the most subtle physics of the quantum vacuum

Mass or inertia is independent from the void, which sustains all motion, put somewhat poetically. Any
structure which can be modeled as a state (and hence unitary fluctuation) of the vacuum possesses no
contextual information. Moreover, a system outstripping the vacuums in situ computational capacity
squelches nonlocal connectivity with the outlying ex situ vacua of the universe. Does time dilation buy time
for the inertial system to maintain its nonlocal connectivity to the ex situ vacuum? More likely time dilation
represents the falling out of synch of the in situ with the ex situ vacuum state.
July 2011
Gravitational time
dilation is local while quantum entanglement (nonlocality) is, well, nonlocal. However, the only thing about
the nonlocally connected components, e.g, spin electron and positron, say, of the original unstable spin 0
particle, which is differentially affected by time dilation is the rotation of their quantum phases. Clearly the
quantum phases of the two spin particles must occur at at different rates determined by the differential
gravitational time dilation operating at their respective (instantaneous) spacetime positions. The
paradoxical question which arises in this connection is the following: according to which local spacetime
clock does the quantum phase of each component rotate, that of the electron or that of the positron (the
matter particle or the antimatter particle?) How great does the relative difference in the rates of local time
dilation have to become before the nonlocal connection between the two particles collapse/decoheres?
Penroses one-graviton limit suggests itself here so that decoherence of the Psi nonlocally connecting the
two particles shall occur when a single Lorentz frame (Zeitschicht) can no longer contain both particles.
Once this point is reached, it is no longer possible to maintain that the temporal evolution of each particle is
along one and the same timeline (distinct from their Minkowskian worldliness). The nonlocal connection
between the particles is then broken and we must ask, what happened to the qubit of quantum information
heretofore encoded in this nonlocal connection? It is by virtue of a particles spin that one particles timeline
is distinguished from that of another. This suggests that a particles intrinsic spin points up the/a timelike
degree of freedom of the particle. What is also suggested here is that the structural integrity of any given
Zeitschicht is determined by the network of quantum entanglement relations that hold on and throughout
this spacetime folio of thickness, /\t, where the complementary /\E is determined by the Planck mass and
the local velocity of light, c. Can quantum nonlocal connections between real particles in conjunction with
quantum correlations of vacuum fluctuations (virtual particles and fields) together suffice to code for the
structure of spacetime, as well as its temporal evolution? Is the discrete cosmological redshift the only now
readily observable evidence for the Zeitschicht structure of global spacetime? Are all of the cosmological
anomalies, e.g., small cosmological constant, dark matter, dark energy, discrete cosmological redshift,
Pioneer anomaly, massive neutrino, nonexistent graviton, speed of gravity, time-varying velocity of light,
nondetection of gravitational waves, etc., merely 2
nd
order effects of general relativity applied to an
induced-gravity-quantum-vacuum undergoing cosmological expansion, while the allegedly well
understood, confirmed predictions of general relativity, e.g., time dilation, length contraction, relativistic
mass increase, gravitational redshift, radar echo delays, perihelion precession, etc., are merely the first
order effects of induced gravity?
Does this imply that decohered systems possess no context-free representation within the vacuum? This
is paradoxical, perhaps in light of the quantum no-cloning theorem. No time is required in terms of
vacuum reprocessing for the existence of a fundamental quantum state, such as a fundamental virtual
particle. But the creation of a particle through perturbation of the vacuum from outside as it were does entail
a reprocessing by the vacuum and so such a particle is real and possesses mass. Reprocessing in this
sense is an intrinsically contextual process. As mentioned already the realness or virtualness of particle
pairs is relative to a Rindler horizon. By relating the Rindler horizon to the decoherence horizon, one
necessarily brings in the relevance of Zeitschichten. Self-organization without intelligent design (of an
abiding or ongoing nature) might imply that fundamental particles are pieces of a shattered hologram (the
cosmic ylem?)
July 2011
The notion of the conservation of quantum entanglement in conjunction with
another notion, namely that of all matter and energy having become quantum entangled at the big bang
might seem to support this interpretation, c.f,
au=
Harald Laschs series, Alpha Centauri. So-called evolution
may then turn out to be involution in a disguised form, which is to say a transformation over time of quantum
into classical correlations. Of course, the distinct manner in which the cosmic ylem or hologram shatters
determines the pattern of nonlocal connections of the hologram fragments.
The design of this aboriginal whole may consist in the simplistic formula, void = perfect unification. Does
decoherence represent deviation from this equation?
Evolution then may be understood as a kind of memory-driven process mediated by ancient quantum
correlations. The fundamental question then becomes if the cosmic ylem has always existed, then what
caused it to shatter?
If it hasnt always existed, what caused it to form in the first place? Quantum fluctuations in both cases?
Consider that there is no first place.
Quantum uncertainty is thought to power the phenomenon of quantum tunneling. This might seem to
imply that quantum systems cannot tunnel through an energy barrier that is larger than the systems
Heisenberg energy uncertainty. Coincidences are far better explained in terms of the decoherence
forestalling properties of the subconscious. Since decoherence is integral to the establishment of a
meaningful arrow of time, encoding of meaning in the subconscious may facilitate temporal entanglement
and appear to support backward-acting causation. The mechanism here is similar to that appearing to
support superluminal signal transmission in quantum tunneling communications experiments. Switching

c.f., Introduction from The Levinas Reader'We are all responsible for everyone else - but I am
more responsible than all the others . This remark, spoken by Alyosha Karamazov in The Brothers Karamazov, is one Levinas is fond
of quoting. It is a neat indication of the nature of a thought that, in the words of Jacques Derrida, 'can make us tremble. 1 Its challenge
is an excessive one: a mode of being and saying where I am endlessly obligated to the Other, a multiplicity in being which refuses
totalization and takes form instead as fraternity and discourse, an ethical relation which forever precedes and exceeds the egoism and
tyranny of ontology. So in practice, Husserl's system does not admit meanings that are irreducible to representation. But for Levinas,
these non-representational intentionalities are precisely the ethical encounter with another human being. It is this contestation of the
ontological by the ethical that ultimately leads Levinas to disagree also with Heidegger. Even as the latter heralds the end
of the metaphysics of presence, he continues to think of being as a coming-into-presence. As modes of Being, authenticity and
inauthenticity (these expressions have been chosen terminologically in a strict sense) are both grounded in the fact that any Dasein
whatsoever is characterized by mineness (dass Dasein uberhaupt durch Jemeinigkeit bestimmt ist). Ethical philosophy must remain
the first philosophy. And this is because the cash value of objectivity is intersubjectivity and a rational world is
an ethical collaboration between persons who are ultimately mutually transcendental. Of course, logically

In other words, loss of bone density might turn out to be the least of deep space explorers problems! What

fermion density on the density of fermionic vacuum fluctuations, namely in contributing to the increase in the density of
virtual fermion-antifermion vacuum energy fluctuations and to a corresponding decrease in the density of virtual boson
fluctuations in the vacuum such that the local value of c throughout the universe is increasing. In this way does the
expansion of the universe appear to accelerate. A mock gravitational field component may be associated with the
local effects of GR time dilation on the expanding vacuum momentum-energy field. The Pioneer anomaly may be an
effect of dark matter and dark energy within an expanding universe,

discrepancy between the ephemeris and expanding cosmological frames of reference. Dark matter on the other hand

It appears likely that the 2
nd
Law of Thermodynamics in its present form
does not apply to the
prn=
mixing of Heisenberg uncertain energies as it does to say, the mixing of ideal
gases. If the quantum vacuum contains information, it should be able to absorb quantum uncertainty in a
manner analogous to how a thermodynamic heat bath absorbs negentropy. Quantum uncertainty acts as
the ideal envelope of nonlocally connected or quantum entangled (quantum correlated) vacuum
fluctuations. The quantum uncertainty with respect to a particular observable is not conserved because it is
rather the product of the quantum uncertainties with respect to incompatible observables that is conserved
and this, after the fashion of a phase space. The question arises as to whether such uncertainty phase
spaces can undergo a kind of crystallization such that the grain size of the phase space effectively shrinks.
The information (negentropy) liberated by such a condensation/crystallization process would be expected
to enter into the correlations appearing between the shrinking crystalline cells of uncertainty phase space.
The uncertainty envelope possesses some properties of an event horizon. There is something
paradoxical about the manner in which the fluctuations that compose Heisenberg energy uncertainty are
supposed to be correlated. Note that all of the correlated fluctuations, which constituted the bulk of all of
the masses, which fell into the black hole (and which otherwise would have constituted the bulk of the
accreting black hole mass), are constrained by the laws of quantum mechanics and Black Hole
Thermodynamics to occupy the surface of the black hole. And it is the absolute minimum quantum
uncertainty represented by the Planck surface area as the minimum 2d crystalline cell size, which
determines the ratio of black hole mass to surface area, i.e., M
s
/R
s
2
. (This ratio is considerabley smaller
than what is predicted in standard Euclidean geometry, differing by a factor of pi.) This says something very
important about the role of vacuum fluctuations and their correlations, both quantum and classical, in the
determination of spacetime structure in relation to mass, i.e., inertia and gravitation. The suspected
holographic structure of the black hole event horizon engenders another suspicion regarding the structure
and relatedness of the vacuum fluctuations originally composing the masses, which fell into the black hole
during its formation from a growing accretion mass, which in turn speaks to concerns over the black hole
information paradox.

If we believe fervently in a so-called concept of consciousness, but are forced to admit to ourselves
on the other hand that no single invidual possesses (or even can possess) this concept, then we are at once
faced with the necessity of a transcendent universal mind wherein each individual human mind is but a
single instance or instantiation of this transcendent consciousness. The development of each individual
mind is then akin to crystallization or the formation of myriad individual crystals within a saturated salt
solution, still less of the solvent itself. There is really no way to deduce the nature of the solution from the
the properties or each cyrstals chemical structure alone, if the peculiar nature of the solvent is not further
taken into account, namely how this solvent changes the interactions of the crystals fundamental
consitituents, i.e., its anions and cations forming each crystal. What I am alluding to in the above is that
consciousness by its very nature, e.g., Goedelian, etc., must be bigger than any concept we can define for
it within any individual consciousness. We have or enjoy consciousness, but we do not actually possess
any coherent concept of it. We participate in consciousness in order to be conscious. This is to point up
the simultaneous importance of both context and substance, coherence and continuity or, solvent and
solute, if you will. We are moving towards the insight that transcendent mind and lonely or isolated
individual mind are opposite sides of the very same coin. In essence, this is the precise relationship of
theism and solipsism. It is substantial continuity with ground without which ground can provide no
meaning-conferring context to whatever is within this ground. It might be supposed now that any quantum
entanglements generated between interacting particles and fields are merely distilled from such
entanglements that preexist within the quantum vacuum as spatiotemporal ground, but that beyond a
certain threshold of complexity, perhaps quantitatively embodied in inertia or mass of the system of
particles and fields altogether new entanglements are brought into being, which can infect the underlying
quantum vacuum in turn and in this manner genuinely new dynamical relationships are themselves brought
to the fore.

Zermelo-Fraeken Set Theory with the axiom of choice
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zermelo%E2%80%93Fraenkel_set_theory or ZFC is intended to formalize a
single primitive notion, that of a hereditary well-founded set, so that all individuals in the universe of
discourse are such sets. Thus the axioms of ZFC refer only to sets, not to urelements (elements of sets
which are not themselves sets) or classes (collections of mathematical objects defined by a property shared
by their members). The axioms of ZFC prevent its models from containing urelements, and proper classes
can only be treated indirectly. Individual instances of consciousness indeed do possess at least one
property in common with one another, however this property cannot be given an intersubjective description.
Thus the property falls altogether outside the realm of all possible linguistic description. It is in this sense in
which we say that consciousness is transcendent, though this is in two distinct ways: 1) no individual can
convey what his unique states of consciousness are like to any other person and 2) no individual can
comprehend what is the quality or property of his consciousness that is held in common with the
consciousnesses of any and every other conscious person. This is an example of an informative
tautology, i.e., a tautology which embodies a metaphysical principle that can function as a guide to
interpretation between distinct theories, which cannot be empirically distinguished. Applying Berkeleys
esse est percipi principle to this elusive commonly held defining property of consciousness, we are led to
the notion of a universal or transcendent mind, who is, alone, aware of the subjective nature of this defining
property. This defining property is not abstract and therefore cannot be constructed. It is fundamental,
rudimentary and irreducible. It is the something that has always been since ex nihilo nihil fit.
August 2012
We
cannot get at the unique property that makes our individual consciousness unique, nor can we get at that
property, which defines consciousness as such (and which is altogether more general than the defining
property of ones individual consciousness). The pivotal question is whether these two properties, one
allegedly particular, the other transcendentally general, are not indeed one and the same. Metaphorical
reification may be at the root of the assumption that these two properties must in fact be different.
June 2012
Consciousness cannot possess an essence in the sense of a defining, master quale since such a
master quale could only be defined in terms of a consolidation of not merely multiple quale from the
consciousness of an individual mind, but in terms of multiple quale across an unlimited and indefinite
number of individuals. We can only form a proper abstract category of consciousness if we can make
multiple observations of consciousness so that we can ignore irrelevant details (details that unimportantly
vary between different instances of some phenomenon), so as to get at the defining general property or
attribute upon which we might base a general category. Reproducibility of observations is important in
this connection. However, on account of the memory effect or what might be termed a kind of psychic
hysteresis, everything changes within the phenomenal field, except the individual consciousness itself, so
that anything broader than this can never appear to vary within any possible phenomenal field of
consciousness of any particular individual. Each of us possesses but a single example of consciousness
- our own as possible subject of observation and experiment. And thus far, consciousness does not
appear to possess any intersubjective and hence measurable properties. Much thought is being given
these days, however to thought experiments and the design of new experiments centered around the
operation of a quantum consciousness detector. In the mean time, ever more detailed observations are
being performed of the brain through the use of ever more sensitive functional MRI diagnostic imagning
systems. Through viewing videos of myself with and interaction with others, I can easily see myself as
ontologically on a par with other human beings. But this is only a metaphor for what God alone has the
ability to do observe, real time, simultaneously, the subjective and even introspective functioning of
multiple human consciousnesses. God alone in other words can possess empirical evidence for the
existence of other minds.
We referred earlier to the need for a formal, axiomatic approach. What problems arise in the treatment we
have given? The problems relate to the formation of sets. One's first intuition might be that we can form any
set we want, but this view leads to inconsistencies. For any set x we can ask whether x is a member of itself.
Define Z = {x : x is not a member of x}.
Now for the problem: is Z a member of Z? If yes, then by the defining quality of Z, Z is not a member of itself,
i.e., Z is not a member of Z. This forces us to declare that Z is not a member of Z. Then Z is not a member
of itself and so, again by definition of Z, Z is a member of Z. Thus both options lead us to a contradiction and
we have an inconsistent theory. More succinctly, one says that Z is a member of Z if and only if Z is not a
member of Z. Axiomatic developments place restrictions on the sort of sets we are allowed to form and thus
prevent problems like our set Z from arising. This particular paradox is Russell's paradox.
The penalty is that one must take more care with one's development, as one must in any rigorous
mathematical argument. In particular, it is problematic to speak of a set of everything, or to be (possibly) a
bit less ambitious, even a set of all sets. In fact, in the standard axiomatisation of set theory, there is no set
of all sets. In areas of mathematics that seem to require a set of all sets (such as category theory), one can
sometimes make do with a universal set so large that all of ordinary mathematics can be done within it
(see universe). Alternatively, one can make use of proper classes. Or, one can use a different
axiomatisation of set theory, such as W. V. Quine's New Foundations, which allows for a set of all sets and
avoids Russell's paradox in another way.

The emergence of consciousness may be understood as the initial tapping of the nonlocally connected quantum
information reservoir? It is reasonable to suppose that any reemergence or second flowering of consciousness will
come from tapping this akashic record once more but in a new manner, from a new direction. This offers a new field
of exploration that shall offer an outlet closed off to mankind by the insuperable technical difficulties involving in
attempting interstellar travel.
Acceleration in the pace of technological progress is expected to result from the institutionalization of digital
information systems (see when quantitative change becomes qualitative change).
Greater density of 3-momentum fluctuations is associated with smaller density of timelike or imaginary

. This would be expected to only occur to past time uncertainties. Are past virtual particles and fields
actually past. Not likely if virtual particles and fields are responsible for determining temporality, its rate,
direction and flow. Hameroff says that time may indeed not flow in any objective sense, but that the
flow of time may be a purely subjective phenomenon. Temporal flow is a relational phenomenon in that
there is no meaning to be assigned to context free temporality.
Bowing to reason. . . inflexibly following codified law, stubbornly refusing to acknowledge reason, or
acknowledging, but refusing to follow reasons dictates a blaspheming of logic, as it were.
Probability in QM is not just owing to the definition of an average or expectation value, but is fluctuation of
an average or expectation value, but is fluctuation based and hence dynamic. So an effective spin-2
would be expected to be a dynamic averaging, that is an averaging of spin-0, , 1, 3/2, etc. To save
Einsteins strong equivalence principle, we have to assume (a) hidden spatial dimension(s) to place the
enormous curvature that is otherwise hidden with respect to norm 3 + 1 Minkowski spacetime.
Discuss Sarfattis characterization of dark matter and dark energy in terms of /\zpf(x) >< 0. If time stops
at the event horizon of a black hole for an outside observer, but continues for the infalling observer, then
clearly we are talking about two orthogonal time dimensions. This type of Gedanken experiment offers a
clue about how to relate time to a bona fide 4
th
spatial dimension. To wit, between infinity and the event
horizon of a black hole, the direction of time rotates 90 degrees, i.e., from orthogonal to the local
3-hypersurface to being tangential to this local 3-hypersurface (of the distant observer).

Regardless of how high the potential barrier may be, the behavior of the wavefunction in the close vicinity of this
barrier is fundamentally different from this behavior for the wavefunction near an actual infinite potential barrier, e.g., the
Psi cannot tunnel across a barrier of infinite height, the behavior of the Gibbs phenomenal noise at this boundary is
rational, as opposed to the case for a finite potential barrier.

This observation has important implications for a
quantum-based theodicy, e.g, why eternal separation from God of free-willed persons, who have chosen not to repent,
is not only justifiable, but just, given the collaborative and even co-creative environment represented by heaven in the
face of the insidious, viral mimetic nature of sin.
Inertia may be understood in analogy to the appearance of frictional forces in that inertia is the inevitable
effect of the interaction (wechsel wirkung) of multiple sources (when one of those sources is the quantum
vacuum/vacua).
Schrodinger equation is to realization of possibilities as is non-adiabatic changes to the boundary

Although the entangled elements may be copied, the pattern of their quantum entanglement cannot, and it
is this pattern that underlies the temporal certainty of conscious entities. Substantial continuity is the
transmission of quantum entanglement between the system and itself at each successive moment. Thus
do we arrive at a definition moment.
Is the past as much a projection or extrapolation as is our expectations for the future? Reality is
intersubjective agreement. There is no they vs. the self. The special distinguishing characteristic of jazz

Could a valid quantum gravity theory provide us with an algorithm for extracting the transcendental from the
real line. This is because pi effectively varies continuously in a spatiotemporally varying gravitational field.
If the electron has no structure but is defined in terms of its interaction with quantum vacuum
electromagnetic processes, then shouldnt the electron mass be definable in terms of its electromagnetic
self-energy as Lorentz imagined?
In the sphere packing thought experiment the effect of increasing gravity and the curvature of spacetime is to gradually
transform the mass volume relationship from cubic to linear. This is a general relativistic effect. At the same time the
vacuum entanglement bandwidth connecting the local vacuum immediately occupied by the mass) and the
contextualizing global quantum vacuum is becoming progressively more restricted. General relativity is a causal
framework (via Einsteins definition of spacetime in terms of the propagation of light, effectively causality and Bohms
principle of quantum causality, i.e., that causal connections are equivalent to correlations of fluctuations must mediate
the realization of the Einstein causality principle, that is, GR is definable in terms of QM and not vice versa. The shift in
spacetime geometry (topology?) with increasing g-field may be characterized in terms of a shift in fluctuations from
quantum to classically correlated with the expected attendant increase in entropy. As the matter density of a hot
volume of gas increases so does its entropy initially with the cube and gradually more and more with a decreasing rate
approaching the square, i.e., proportional to the volumes surface area. Where did this difference in entropy
propagate, i.e., that entropy equal to the difference in cubic proportional and square proportional?
More massive objects are more decoherent in the sense of more cut off from the nonlocal correlations of
the global vacuum (as cosmic quantum CPU) in its modeling of the state of objects and calculation of future
states of these objects, and in this way exhibit greater inertia and (in conjunction with a locally expanding
spacetime) greater gravitation.
Discuss the implications and complications of the phrase, human beings only think theyre conscious;
consciousness actually doesnt exist.
Is there any fundamental distinction between the effect of decoherence of an artificial (artificially intelligent
information storage system upon appearances (or not) of the recorded pattern of electron strikes on the
two-slit phosphorescent screen and this quantum effect upon a lone conscious witness to the appearance
(or not) of an interference pattern on the phosphorescent screen? If so, then there is a need to analyze the
relationship of consciousness, objectivity-as-intersubjectivity, Bohmian causal principle and quantum
decoherence.
Heisenberg uncertainty of only stress-momentum-energy necessarily implicates temporal change, e.g., /\x
does not necessarily imply fluctuation in x except indirectly through constitutive causal relationships.
How can the nonlocally entangled quantum vacuum fluctuation field, which is Lorentz invariant implement
the Bohmian causality principle and manifest temporal order, scale and directionality.
Each transcendental number (of which there is an infinite, possibly transfinite number possesses a richness
of information equal to my design challenge, c.f., polysolipsism as opposed to Plotinean polyemanationism.
Quantum entanglement is just a manifestation of the temporal continuity of that which possesses no
substance. So time dilation, length contraction and relativistic mass increase are all effects of the
modulation of quantum entanglement in the quantum vacuum fluctuation field.
Virtual particles may be promoted to the status of real particles through change in vacuum boundary
conditions. All massive particles were created originally through the interaction of inflation and
cosmological expansion with Heisenberg momentum and energy expansion with Heisenberg momentum
and energy uncertainty. Cosmic inflation is a radical transformation of quantum vacuum boundary
conditions. What determines whether a collection of virtual particles constitutes a real system of particles
depends on the presence of entanglement information. In other words, information can generate really
existing particles. Taking our lead from the Old Testament God, we suggest here that real particles can be
produced from the vacuum via a sonoluminous mechanism. In the same way that the expectation values
of momentum and energy can be derived from the uncertainties and fluctuations in p and E, so can the
expectation values of space and time be derived from (/\x, fluc-x) and (/\t, fluc-t).
Modal realism should be questioned in light of the Planck mass limit or alternatively, in terms of Penroses
one-graviton limit. The first living organisms would have arisen by chance in an infinite number of
planets, c.f., p. 155 (Barr), Modern Physics and Ancient Faith. What about a proper consideration of
coherence, cohesiveness and stability, i.e., robustness in the face of perturbations (the very same or
complementary to those originally bringing the first primitive organisms into being?)
Robustness is just as necessary in the one-in-myriad slightly varying universe as in the case of a truly
unique universe. Compare the analysis of the effect of so-called free will and consciousness upon the
quantum Psi in light of the notions of intention and intentionality.
The human brain evolved to a point at which the complex microtubule network began to access the
quantum vacuum field in order to reprocess and recontextualize patterns of enhanced and suppressed
neural firing and firing sequence probabilities (the boundary conditions for the superposition are not
themselves superposed) yielding a discontinuous jump in human intelligence and taking human intellectual
capabilities well beyond the dictates of survival within a hunter-gatherer clan. The important idea not to
lose sight of here is that this quantum vacuum information field did not itself evolve qua information
processing infrastructure (though this field presumably changes in subtle ways perhaps to accommodate
Sheldrakean formative causation as well as perhaps acting as a kind of akashic record.
@$The complementary uncertainties of conjugate variables suggests that the quantum information needed to more
fully specify, for example, position of a particle is provided by the increase in uncertainty of the conjugate variable, here,
momentum. The configuration of nonlocal correlations of the amplitudes making up the conjugate momentum
uncertainty is the source of the quantum information with which the position of the particle becomes more precisely
specified.
Gravitation cannot act upon a pure Psi, say by constraining the spacetime evolution of Psi to a curved
geodesic path, without Psi becoming decoherent to some appropriate degree. This is because the
evolution of a pure Psi is reversible in flat spacetime, while the action of the gravitational field is irreversible.
Consciousness terminates the infinite regress of quantum system, metasystem, meta-metasystem, etc.

Gravitation and consciousness both have a quantum information basis analogous to how
thermodynamic phase state relates to the system degrees of freedom.
Hence, consciousness cannot be an observable in quantum mechanics, in principle. Kants a priori/a
posteriori distinction should be applied to the concept of the collective reprocessing of the data of individual
human experience. The dynamical action of the physical substrate for the akashic record which lies at the
root of this collective experiential reprocessing blurs this Kantian distinction. According to Sheldrake,
physical laws are merely habits of nature which through myriad repetitions have become fundamentally
ingrained.

I go to encounter for the millionth time the reality of experience and to forge in the smithy
of my soul the uncreated conscience of my race. James Joyce
The mechanism underlying gravity and inertia should be sought in the processes responsible for gradual
decoherence of a quantum mechanics systems density matrix. We hear everywhere about how
consciousness collapses the wavefunction. But might some kind of observer/consciousness field
responsible for gradual decoherence for induced gravity turn out to be intimately related if not identical
fields? Quantum fluctuations as stemming from dynamics of the observer function.
Corliss Lamont defined a chance event as constituted by the intersection of two causally independent

decoherence effects are bought
about not by changes in an observers state of knowledge so much as by a change in the knowledgeability
of merely hypothetical observers. Consciousness is not itself fundamental to the quantum effects of
observation, but some dynamic process underlying and fundamental to the operation of consciousness
gets established as an objective and not merely subjective or even intersubjectively derivable abstract
category of experience. This may prove useful to the metaphysical conundrum of other minds if not as
an actual disproof of metaphysical (as opposed to merely epistemological) solipsism. Investigate the
notion of conservation of cohesiveness and/or coherence in the evolution of cohesive and/or coherent
systems, c.f., p. 259 of Modern Physics and Ancient Faith.

For some reason human beings are gifted with programs for reprocessing the data of their individual
experience into new abstract forms.
epi=
The processing of data is at once the reprocessing of information.
But what if this software is the same as that used to perceive an ambiguous environment? One
consciousness, myriad minds vs. myriad consciousnesses, myriad minds are degenerate cases,
phenomenologically speaking. Collected data of individual experience is removed from its original human
context and placed into a transhumant context, c.f., olfactory lobe tongue taste bud analogy. We need a
word that is conjugate to the term revisionism, e.g., sich vervorstellen, usw. History is a reprocessing or
reimaging of the date of the past. Conceptualize reimaging vs. revisionism as complementary or rather,
antagonistic forms of experiential data reprocessing. We know that the data of individual human
experience treated collectively (and there are perhaps limitless number of distinct ways to do this)
engenders a possible transhuman content. Which algorithm for collective matrix style reprocessing of
this data of individual human experience is perhaps best determined by either political strategy (or
expediency, for that matter) or by the programmers who set the initial and boundary conditions for the
projected avatars + simulated environment system. To be merely possible in a certain realm (say,
equivalent to the quantum) is tantamount to that ideas real existence. Coherence/nonlocality, quantum
fluctuations nonlocal cohesion. Decoherence/locality, classical fluctuations local cohesion.
Conservation of cohesion/self-organization.
The substantive role of gravity in spontaneous decoherence, the fact of gravitation propagating at the speed of light and
of quantum nonlocal correlations propagating at infinite speed suggests that spacetime curvature is encoded into only
one of two fundamental components of the quantum vacuum, i.e., the decoherent of classical component the coherent
component which constitutes the vast bulk of the quantum vacuum energy density does not itself directly contribute to
the inertia of the vacuum.
Voloviks proof that the cosmological constant tracks the average cosmic matter density may inform the
investigation into the underlying origin of so-called dark matter. The creative substrate does not possess a
permutational structure, is not deterministic and is not constrained by symmetry, e.g., spacetime interval,
conservation principles, etc.
prn=
Only a tiny fraction of the dense field of quantum correlations (both
correlated and uncorrelated) ever manifests itself in the form of causal relationships and the fact that both
detection and detectability of a quantum correlated particle is sufficient grounds for reduction of the particle
wavefunction, Psi(1,2) ~= Psi(1) x Psi(2) suggests that the contents of consciousness present at any given
moment merely represent the set of contents currently attended to and says nothing about the exclusion of
other contents, themselves either part of another individual consciousness or of consciousness as a whole
or as such. It is considerations like this which help us to realize that the many worlds and many minds
interpretations of quantum mechanics may indeed represent essentially the same quantum metaphysics.

We see how the correlations representing causal relationships might
be the effect of the mutual interference of distinct sets of acausal correlations, c.f., the principle of
intersubjectivity objectivity. Note that this implication is not two-way, and that is because we have not ruled
out the possible influence of transcendental mind/consciousness as such upon the realm of objectivity.
Because spin connotes spatial orientation, a change in the constitutive fluctuations of the vacuum, which by
their correlations constitute matter and spacetime, curvature may turn out to be only a spatial metaphor for
the implications of quantum correlated spin fluctuations. The irreversibility introduced through the mixed
symmetry of the density matrix symmetry is mixed symmetry of the density matrix symmetry is the most
general property of the vacuum fluctuation field because it connotes all conservation laws and mixed
symmetry represents non-conservation, e.g., gravitational energy and spacetime path irreversibility.
Entropy represents a lack of information on the part of the cosmic CPU, i.e., the quantum vacuum. Is it
correlations or knowledge about correlations that is relevant? Revisit the notion of the solipsistic

the distinctness of individual consciousness?

According to
au=
Tajmar and DeMatos, the cosmological constant can be interpreted as a
consequence of a massive graviton. Graviton mass is here thought to be dependent upon the local
density of matter. This is similar to Voloviks prediction that the cosmological constant tracks the
matter density at cosmological scales; also c.f., Prokhovinik. In Volovik theory there is no spin-2
graviton per se, spin-2 is a composite or quasiparticle (quasigraviton) dependent upon quantum
entanglement properties of the vacuum conceived of as a two-component superfluid, c.f.,

Any philosophical argument that implies solipsism in either its forms, Type I, II or III, i.e., its

Temporality does not really
enter into deterministic causality it is like asking the duration of a moment in which nothing
happens. Bohms causal principle offers a way out here because causal relations are but a tiny
subset of the spectrum of possible ways that fluctuations may be quantum correlated. (2010) All
degenerative diseases are doubly degenerative in this sense: prior to the advent of medical science
the onset of any degenerative disease impaired the viability of the organism to the extent that the
organism could not pass on its genetic information to offspring. This would result in a kind of
decompression of natural selective pressure against untoward random genetic mutations in turn
resulting in the degenerative process becoming organic/systemic to the organism as a whole.

One should expect that any genetically based degenerative disease that historically killed
before the sufferer reached the age of reproductiveness to have acted cumulatively over the
millenia as a kind of dust magnet (c.f., genetic dust bin theory of aging), attracting other
degenerative disease genes, perhaps some of them affecting behavioral gene expression and hence
the effectiveness of Huxleys reducing valve of the mind.
There is really nothing to distinguish one consciousness from the other in terms of a category
scheme based upon differences in intrinsic properties, that is, in the utter absence of some general
property that is in a metaphysical sense definitive of consciousness as such. It is clear that
individual consciousnesses are indeed distinct, however in a way that transcends the perceptual
and intellectual capacities of any possible individual mind. Such distinctiveness of individual
consciousnesses would have to be extrinsic, meaning the distinctiveness would have to be in terms
of some external relations possessed by some consciousnesses and not by others, which is, again,
not by virtue of any abstract or intrinsic properties. Everything I can say about my individual
consciousness in terms of its alleged uniqueness can also be truthfully said by any other conscious
entity.
September 2011
A complete disabling or even destruction of the Huxlean reducing valve of the
mind, i.e., the brain, would not then mean the destruction of consciousness, just of an
egoically-structured consciousness. The dynamical ground that originally provided the context
for the orchestrated electrical activity in the brain that underpinned the first glimmerings of
self-awareness of the individual that dynamical ground did not vanish or fall apart with the
dysfunction, death and decay of that individuals brain, but continues undiminished. Nowadays
this dynamical ground of individual consciousness would be styled the quantum vacuum, or more
particularly, the quantum vacuum electromagnetic field. The question concerning the fate of any
deceased individual consists of two parts: 1) was he consciously self-aware in the first instance,
that is when he was alive? Theres no use wondering over the possibility for a merely intelligently
behaving metaphysical zombie. 2) did his brain when it was alive create connections in the portion
of the quantum vacuum field with which it resonantly tuned, which are capable of sustaining
themselves among the other defining characteristics of life? And does this network of presumed
induced quantum nonlocally connected and self-sustaining vacuum electromagnetic field
fluctuations become swamped and overwhelmed by the vastly larger field of correlated
fluctuations with which they suddenly come into contact, now that the brain no longer functioned
to filter and screen them out as extraneous to the earthly life of the erstwhile human organism?
What happens when, with a nod to Santayana, the dream is no longer under the control of the
object? Does consciousness merely continue though utterly empty of specific contents? Taking
the first person perspective, presumably theres a good reason why I was me with this body I
happened to have and not somebody else and this has something to do with there being a
preexistent unique spectrum of information signals in the vacuum to which my developing fetal
brain first resonantly tuned, which was maintained via some mysteriously providential feedback
mechanism (unless we want to apply the anthropic cosmological principle to why this feedback
mechanism happened to be in place), which instituted a unique developing signature of
superimposed quantum nonlocal connectivity within this unique vacuum signal spectrum,
amassing quantum nonlocal connections as time went on (subjectively experienced as sensation,
perception, thought and emotion, etc.) The memories that perished upon the commencement of the
dissolution of my neural network (assuming the first person perspective for the moment) were
really only address links regulating the behavior of other address links, etc., which collectively
broke the hard encryption of a small subspectrum of the vacuum electromagnetic field information
signals, enabling certain otherwise unavailable self-interactions (reprocessings) of the embedded
nonlocal connections within this field. The ground in other words of the individuals
consciousness, which was what enabled him to become conscious in the first placethat doesnt
cease to exist upon the death of the individuals brain. It is true that the brain does not merely act
as a means for consciousness to gain access to certain as opposed to other states of itself; the brain
actually weaves new states that didnt exist before, however, once the states are created in the
quatum vacuum, they are preserved via the principle of conservation of quantum entanglement
(quantum information). All that we need now is some valid theorem that tells us that quantum
entanglement in the vacuum is the physical basis for information storage in quantum mechanical
systems. Granted this, all we need next is some empirical research that demonstrates that the
individuals brain is a quantum mechanical system so that his access to this quantum information
in the vacuum is through his brain as memory address system. On this view, new memories,
which are encoded in the brain as new neural interconnection networks, are able to resonantly tune
to the memories they encode because these new networks enable just the right pattern of resonant
tuning, which can address the newly laid down networks of nonlocally connected vacuum
information signals (quantum nonlocally correlated vacuum fluctuations) that were originally
encoded in the vacuum at the time the, e.g., thoughts, perceptions, etc. were originally consciously
experienced.

This is on account of the necessary absence of a private language (see Wittgensteins
private language argument). Differences between individuals in terms of the so-called raw feels
of their subjective experience, which do not trace differences in functionality in a commonly
shared world necessarily transcend the descriptive capacities of human language. Does this pose
a paradox of sorts for the concept of consciousness per se in that there is no rational basis for
constituting a general concept of consciousness?
Even early quantum computers are thought to be soon capable of modeling hypercomplex
phenomena such as protein folding and weather systems. This in part may be the case because the
dynamics of the quantum computing process itself shall exhibit spontaneous self-organization
such as typically characterizes the problems uniquely suited for modeling via quantum
computation. This brings to mind the issue of tangled levels of description, that of modeled and
modeling systems.

What holds back the potential rapture of such an experience is our difficulty in actually

decoherence theory) speed of gravity. Data is independent of classical (as opposed to quantum)

The vast majority of evolution
took place during the first three billion years before multicellular organisms arose, which suggests
that much of the evolution which took place after the advent of the first multicellular organisms
may well have been in the form of selective triggering and enabling of preexistent genetic
algorithms first laid down during the exceedingly long unicellular stage of evolution. In other
words, the potentiality of the genome for expression as highly adaptable and variegated
multicellular life was laid down during the long history of unicellular evolution, while the
evolution of multicellular life was more or less just an expression of this potential through a
combination of internally directed mutation and environmental imprinting via epigenetic control,
almost entirely through the operation of long-standing, pre-packaged mechanisms and almost not
at all by way of random mutations. C.f., Ph.D. Thesis: Towards music perception by

In the visual domain, the input representation already satisfies these requirements to a large
degree and is thus amenable to segmentation and grouping using Gestalt principles. Bregman
(1990, p. 6) observes that, In vision, you can describe the problem of scene analysis in terms of
the correct grouping of regions. This is a convenient fact about the retinal image: it has regions.
Bregman goes on to ask, But what about hearing? What are the basic parts that must be grouped
to make a sound? This is a very good question. Those parts are not at all apparent in a direct,
time-domain representation of the acoustic waveform. Bregman does not dwell on this point, and
moves on to a consideration of spectrograms, which, conveniently, are somewhat analogous to
images: Once we see that the sound can be made into a picture, we are tempted to believe that
such a picture could be used by a computer to recognise speech sounds. Whereas regions of
activity due to different auditory objects may not be distinct in the time domain, (or indeed, the
one-dimensional frequency domain of a global Fourier transform) they may become so in the
two-dimensional time-frequency plane.
The more massive is an object, the more vacuum entanglement it participates in and so the more

Department of Applied Mathematics, University of Waterloo, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada N2L
3G1 (Dated: August 14, 2011) Abstract: Separate regions in space are generally entangled, even
in the vacuum state. It is known that this entanglement can be swapped to separated Unruh-DeWitt
detectors, i.e., that the vacuum can serve as a source of entanglement. Here, we demonstrate that,
in the presence of curvature, the amount of entanglement that Unruh-DeWitt detectors can extract
from the vacuum can be increased. In this context, it was recently shown [6] that, in an
expanding space-time, the entanglement of the vacuum decreases signicantly due to the effects of
the Gibbons-Hawking temperature. Namely, we will show that a weak gravitational field, such
as that caused by a planet, can enhance the extraction of entanglement from the vacuum.

Lorentz frames of reference separated
in energy by more than a Planck mass cannot be connected by a Lorentz transformation. In
analogy with the decreased buying power of currency caused by an uncontrolled printing press, the
inertia of massive bodies is weakened in a vacuum possessing a relatively higher current density of
composite spin-0 fluctuations, i.e., larger H-energy uncertainty density of quantum vacuum if you
will, which in turn implies quicker response of massive particles to unanticipated perturbations.
(October 2008, p. 77)
(p. 78) You see, a relatively small /\t for vacuum means relatively quick, that is high frequency
response of the vacuum in accommodating applied forces, i.e., quicker response to applied force
really only means smaller inertial mass.
June 2011
Smaller binding forces associated with a lesser
inertial mass also coincide with a lower density of virtual vector boson particle exchanges within
the mass bulk, namely with a smaller density of 3-momentum exchanges, i.e., smaller /\p. So
larger /\E and smaller /\p are consistent with our intuitions about mass and inertia, i.e., small /\t =
high frequency, meaning a light and quickly dancing particle while a large /\x means a lighter,
more diaphanous and fuzzier particle. In other words, the predicted relationships of
spacetime to momentum-energy uncertainties within the quantum vacuum are consonant with our
intuitions about induced gravity.

The case of there being only one
consciousness in which each and all participate is indistinguishable from the seemingly radically
different case of each possessing their own, unique individual and disjoint consciousness. For if
my consciousness is the most general property of my experience, then there cannot be some still
more general property of my experience that is held in common with all other individual
consciousness qua exemplars of consciousness per se. (This is an example of an application of the
principle of
prn=
the incorrigibility of subjective experience.) The way out of this apparent impasse
is to posit that what is indeed the most general experiential property of all individual
consciousness, one that is still more general than the most general property of my (and each and
everyone elses) individual experience can only be the aspect that each and every individual
consciousness (as inherently temporal) possesses in eternity. In other words, what makes my
consciousness an exemplar of consciousness per se is a transcendental property, which in no wise
manifests itself in time, that is, as the temporal duration (duree) of my subjective experience.
This most general property of consciousness, which is really the only bulwark against abject
metaphysical solipsism is in no way to be found within time, that is, within any individual
temporal consciousness. What we are asserting about consciousness possesses obvious theological
import. God knows the inner, subjective experience of each of us outside of time, and it is a general

Human consciousness is either an illusion or it is an artifact of a much more powerful mentality
than that which human beings apparently possess, suggesting that the human mind, if potentially
much more powerful than it is at present and moreover that if consciousness is a gift whose real
purpose is oriented to the future a kind of anticipatory mental infrastructure bespeaking a
gracious intelligent design. Do vacuum fluctuations merely enable meaningful stochastic
resonance or do they possess an actual information content? (p. 84)

The higher self at the end of the history of the self, which acts as the father and spiritual
mentor of the temporal evolving self can be seen as a metaphor for the eternal aspect of the self.
Is there no near approaching limit of human evolution because of the existence of consciousness or
is consciousness built in by design to facilitate mental functions that nature has not yet graced Man
with at his current relatively lowly stage of psychic evolution? How does the concept of the
datagram explain the separation of execution and communication modes of neural transmission,
c.f., information in envelopes in which contents are immaterial until received and converted. The
unlimited capacity for transformation of particles subject to quantum number conservation points
up the radical relativity of 3-space as an arbitrary 3-hypersphere slice of an absolute
4-hypervolume. Quantum error correction is intimately connected with the consciousness
function when casting something up in the imagination say the way an inventor does, trying out
several alternative designs in his minds eye.
The denial of Supreme Being is tantamount to saying that there is no such consciousness as
consciousness as such or in general or just consciousness qua consciousness of which individual
human consciousness may therefore be considered to be a mere instantiation. In this way solipsism
and atheism are seen to be closely akin. The belief in other minds is belief in multiple
instantiations of the other, i.e., the radically other.
Quantum error correction is closely related to the consciousness function. When acting
something up in the imagination, say the way an inventor does, trying out several alternative
designs in his minds eye. The intention as to the presentation is formed 1
st
and yet the thinker
still seems to require the additional step of representation. Clearly what is involved here is a
kind of neural short circuiting underlying communication between different (and largely
independent faculties of mind.) How does one distinguish implementation/execution neural
signals from communication signals, e.g., local vs. nonlocal? (p. 85)
Does the Pauli Principle applied democratically to both real and virtual particles explain the

order to study it successfully. Consciousness as from-somewhere-elseness not only is context
needed, but a basis for comparison (somewhere else, e.g., other culture to evaluate sense data in
terms of Socrates and the slave boy learning as recollection. Reversed vision experiments of the
1950s . . . how does one know that ones visual field is upside-down unless there is a secret or
hidden additional symmetry axis besides that of spatial-vertical that points up/codes for the
broken. Does so-called self-consciousness necessarily point to the being of the other as well
as of the self? Or is this the role played by consciousness as such, i.e., consciousness qua
consciousness? Is consciousness as such only an abstraction from instances of
self-consciousness or are self-consciousnesses abstract structures of consciousness as such
secretly mutually related in a manner transcendent of each? The exchanging of space and time
axes at the black hole event horizon is consistent with an exchange of /\E for /\p, ~M and ~P
entanglement, collection collective spin 0 for spin-1. There must be an effective Rindler horizon
associated with freely willed action and conscious thought and perception, except instead of
information loss we are concerned here with information creation, both of which constitute
information non-conservation with which must be associated some type of entropy. Time
dilation might not scale uniformly at all scales due to processes underlying quantum decoherence,
e.g., conscious thought and perceptual processes, c.f., space sickness. High level computer

and molecules is equivalent to a temporal paradox if self-organization is effected exclusively by
causal principles, mass is a function of correlation of vacuum field fluctuations because
introducing information bearing correlations causes <p> and <E> not= 0, i.e., yields mass.
Because of the relative shift of decreasing /\E and increasing /\p in a gravitational field, a smaller
density of i-momentum fluctuations controls a smaller number of i-momentum fluctuations, i.e.,
increased quantum noise and hence quantum decoherence, (p. 86)
Look at a simple fluctuation-correlation model in which the current density of fluctuations and
correlations are each separately conserved in terms of the sums respectively of spin-0 and spin-1
correlations and of spin-0 and spin-1 fluctuations. Note: everywhere we use the terms
correlations of the system from Bohms causality principle. Nonlocally connected events are
not merely simultaneous: they are simultaneous in all Lorentz frames (contained within a single
zeitschicht bundle?) A zeitschicht bundle contains a spectrum of Lorentz frames all of which are
less than one graviton mass apart in the energies of their respective vacua. Gravitational time
dilation is the result of interactions within a system no longer reported/updated to the global
quantum vacuum in real time, i.e., the appearance/generation of local vacuum. We may think of
band width connecting the system to the global vacuum as possessing spacelike and timelike
components. The separate conservation of ~s and ~L within ~J seems to suggest that ~s and ~L

Change in the measured rate of gravitational decoherence is out of step with the uniform change in
the rates of all other physical processes due to gravitational time dilation. And this would
constitute a means of absolutely distinguishing a gravitational field from acceleration in the
absence of a gravitational field. This may be another ground for believing that extended stays in
low or zero-gee environments or particularly environments where gravitational tidal forces are
exceedingly weak or absent might be expected to cause a form of space sickness. (p. 87)
It should be clear that the 3-angular momentum of a spinning gyroscope is not conserved. Thus
the concept of timelike rotations, i.e., angular momentum about the time axis is seen as necessary
in relativity theory.

Russells paradox, according to Gdel revealed that it was not the case that
each property determines a class of things possessing this property, c.f., A World Without Time,
Yourgrau (2005). An application of which insight somewhat by way of generalization is that your
idea or perception of a thing can be similar to mine without at once being identical to some idea or
perception of which Im capable. Moreover, that you and I, he and she as sentient beings can each
and all be examples, or shall I say, exemplars of consciousness (having entities) without there
being some most general property of each and everyones conscious experience on the one hand or
consciousness itself on the other, which makes our experiences conscious or defines consciousness
as such, enables us to entertain a definition, if not a concept proper, of consciousness that escapes
the implication of solipsism. Otherwise we are faced with the dilemma posed by my conscious
experience possessing some most general property such that it is my experience and possessing
some still more general property such that my conscious experience is an example of
consciousness experience as such even though no conscious being can have any concrete
awareness of such a most general property of his or her experience an apparent contradiction.
Our concept of consciousness might then need to be founded on some altogether different type of
relationship than that of property-based class relationship, i.e., membership in a class by virtue of
some commonly held property. We are reminded of the old medieval distinction between
substance and attribute, as well as of the difference between mathematical proof by inference, i.e.,
class inclusion/exclusion and such proof via direct intuition or insight. We might simply suppose
that it is some most general attribute, which my conscious experience always has that makes it my
conscious experience and the substance in which this most general attribute inheres that make my
conscious experience conscious as such. If a person could only experience one color, e.g., red
could we realistically assert that this person possesses the concept of color? We would say, rather
that only someone capable of experiencing all or at least many of the colors of the rainbow could
possess a reasonable or valid concept of color. Maybe we are now getting closer to understanding
Spinozas notion of the relationship of the human to the divine mind. (p. 88) We have a difficulty
in defining what is called consciousness much after the fashion that philosophers have difficulties
in defining logic. (See the excerpt below from Dale Jacquettes Philosophy of Logic)
UNDERSTANDING THE PLURALITY OF LOGICS
The more recent extensive growth of symbolic logics makes it harder than ever to sustain the attitude that logicians are in search of a
single formalization that will stand as the logic of all thought and discourse. What is suggested in the spirit of modern specialization is
a plethora of different logics, many of which are deductively incompatible with one another, some of which are at most overlapping in
their theorems and algorithmic methods or in some of their results, and some that are so distant from one another that it is hard to see
the sense in which they can all claim to be logics. This, of course, returns us to the problem at hand. How is it that all of these formal
systems can rightly claim to be logics? What can we learn about the concept of logic itself that for the first time in its history is so
diverse in its formulations across the board in mathematics and philosophy? There are several possibilities that immediately come to
mind, and it may be worthwhile to display them systematically for the sake of comparison.
1. There is a universal logic. The alternative formalisms that are currently on offer as logics are in fact something other than logic.
These formal languages may eventually find a distinct name and separate category. The proliferation of what are presented as
different logics can accordingly be understood as a sometimes deliberate and sometimes subconscious attempt on the part of
logicians to identify the one and only correct logic that has yet to emerge as the legitimate successor of syllogistic logic.
2. All of the various systems of logic that seem so disjoint today will eventually or can potentially be unified and integrated as a single
super-system. Some systems that do not lend themselves to such incorporation may fall by the wayside as faux logics. The
contemporary proliferation of distinct logics is comparable to the prior systematization of other mathematical disciplines like Euclids
geometry, that developed out of a hodgepodge of practical methods of measurement and calculation recipes that were finally brought
together under a single set of axioms. We are, speaking historically, currently in a pre-systematization phase in the development of
symbolic logic, working piecemeal on the fragments of what will eventually emerge as a grand synthesis in a future logic of enormous
power and comprehension.
3. There is no universal logic, but there is a universal concept of logic that 6 Dale Jacquette underlies one and all of the many different
logical formalisms that have been advanced. On this view, it becomes the task of the philosophy of logic to analyze and define the
concept of logic in terms of its necessary and sufficient conditions in such a way that all of the logics properly so-called will properly fit
within its conditions.
4. There is a universal logic and a universal concept of logic, but we can never fully or confidently come to know what it is. We are thus
in a situation that is similar to that of Socrates in Platos early aporetic dialogues, in which a concept persistently eludes us as we try to
nail down its necessary and sufficient conditions. What we do instead, as the next best choice, is to propound many different formal
systems, each of which purports to be a logic, and some of which may purport to be the logic, but without any conceptual guidance as
to how closely or distantly any chosen formalism might be approximating the ideal. The proliferation of logics is thus itself a symptom
of our lack of a conceptual polestar. The best approximation might then be regarded as the one, if any, that gains the most widespread
acceptance or turns out to have the most fruitful applications.
5. There is no universal logic or universal concept of logic, but something rather like a later Wittgensteinian family resemblance among
disparate logics. The overlappings of one logical system with respect to another in the entire network of logics must then be carefully
mapped out so that we can understand the conceptual interrelations between different kinds of logic, in addition to grasping their
historical-genealogical and thematic interconnections. Logics as Wittgenstein said of mathematics, and no doubt also with symbolic
logics in mind, are in that case rather like a city with a central core and suburbs burgeoning in various directions to serve a variety of
different kinds of expressive and inferential needs, with no prospect of unified integration into a single super-system.
6. There is no universal logic, universal or family resemblance concept of logic that can hope to incorporate all of the disparate systems
of logic. These systems are rightly called logics only nominalistically, in that they are formal systems developed and referred to
institutionally as logics by professional logicians. There is no possibility of such logics being integrated, and no prospect of
understanding any deeper connections by virtue of which they are related. They are all logics simply because they are given that name
by persons who are part of a professional scientific and philosophical community with the institutional authority to designate them as
such. In the past, there was only one logic because logicians were too limited in their imaginations or too hidebound by tradition to
venture out in different directions. The idea of a unified integrated logic or overlapping family resemblances among logics is a myth
lacking any practical foundation.
But for instance my concept of red can easily be identical to yours because we can agree on all exemplars of red in
our common environment and this even though your experience of red and mine may in no wise be identical. (or
just identical in the sense that each of our concepts of red were built up differently, out of a different network of
exemplars?) In this way we see that my concept of red can be objectively the same though subjectively different from
yours. Can we then go on to real consciousness wherever in this argument we encounter the word red without
loss of generality and hence validity? If not, then consciousness cannot be adequately perceived as an inert space or
substance, indifferent to what plays out within it or through it. It is here where we meet with the suspicions of
Gdels Incompleteness Theorem and Penroses non-computability. Compare intersubjectivity is the cash value of
objectivity with consciousness is the most general property of my experience and my consciousness and the
property of my experience and my consciousness and the others consciousness must needs be different. Objectivity
a greater notion than intersubjectivity, truth a stronger notion than provability? The non-computable nature of
conscious thought: the process by which thought generally is brought into being (as opposed to being merely
intuited) cannot itself be a thought. The thing and the class to which it belongs cannot be one and the same without
being a special kind of class. The individual processes no better concept of consciousness than does the color blind
man possess a concept of color. So if we believe in a concept of consciousness without possessing one such
ourselves, then we are secretly making our faith in the other tantamount to our faith in a transcendent being or Deity.
What structure must nature possess that would permit an incorrect theory to go on successfully for one or two centuries
before the first inconsistency were detected? We build the edifice of truth with facts that things are facts are what
they are. Does this sound like a sane way to go about constructing a skyscraper?
Information implies novelty, that is, of data in recipient information systems at the information as initial processing of
a unique set of data.

Bohms beables are relevant here. Teleportation transports quantum uncertainty away from the point of quantum
state preparation. This can be thought of as a kind of waste heat being given off. Maintaining the analogy with
thermodynamics, teleported, /\Q may be thought of as quantum entropy. How do we interpret the viral information of
vacuum ground state independence. With hidden variables excluded the Everett MWI QM theory leaves no room for
thermal bath states to underpin irreversible physical processes which in turn support the emergence of novel
dynamical systems. Both substance and dynamics transcend computation, i.e., are responsible for causality
transcending mere simulation, c.f., John Searles comparison of real versus simulated metabolism. How could a
deterministic simulation produce any real entropy anyway? Classical entropy can also be shown to be of a
quantum mechanical origin. Does quantum entropy, e.g., Black Hole information loss, point to some broader, deeper
context than either the quantum or classical vacuum? Although natural selection never had a perfectly adapted
individual in view, it did aim at the illusion of the perfectly adapted individual. In the same way that language arose
through babbling becoming tied to a learning by doing program from outside as it were, the self first arose as a
subconscious projection onto the 3
rd
person, c.f., Jaynes theory related to the passivity of the conscious self to the
subconscious processing of sense-perception and remembered sense perception. Objectivity as the root of
intersubjectivity as opposed to intersubjectivity itself, c.f., God and Other Minds by Alvin Plantinga. Does
Synesthesia deconstruct the hypothesis of metaphor as causal chain breaker or merely show the necessity of
consciousness as a transcendental concomitant function to metaphor? (p. 90)

Religious faith is easier to embrace while at once upholding the intellectual ethics associated with the value of
Reason, if one recognizes that faith in its essence is the only bulwark against radical skepticism, which an integral
rationality must advocate in the utter absence of a notion of transcendence. One must not lose sight here of the
necessity of the notion of transcendence including transcendence of the ego. Otherwise the ego posits itself as Kants
thing in itself or noumenon and the external world as the realm of the immanent relative to which the self is
unknowable. There are only two persons who can get inside your head the self and the other of all others. The
notion of the transcendental self, i.e., the Self, is in contradistinction to the other of all others, i.e., the transcendental
other, i.e., the Other. The only solution to the problem of epistemological solipsism is to posit the transcendental
other. The solution to the problem of epistemological solipsism is not open or available to the ego, but can indeed be
grasped by the transcendental other.

There is the oft-heard phrase; one of a kind. But this phrase defines a coherent notion only in a
metaphorical sense. But in this case, we are dealing with something of a closed system, one presumably possessed of
a formal, i.e., formally describable structure. It might be thought that something without definable boundaries could
be both unique and an exemplar of a class, e.g., a spiral nebula. But here the non-definability is only with respect
to nuances of structure that play no key role in defining the entity as such. Here, in the case of a spiral galaxy, what
is unique about the object are aspects of the object that could be different in an unlimited number of ways without
changing the category of object. Consciousness however, is absolutely crucial to the defining of the persons identity
as such. If the other and I are each unique in our consciousness-mediated identities and both examples of what are
termed conscious beings, then our respective consciousnesss must only be unique in a manner that does not
respect the distinctness of our identities. Consciousness is unique in its essence but not as a phenomenon is another
paradoxical statement, which invokes this confusion of the unique example. Consciousness is unique in creation
and what makes an individual an example of a conscious individual is that his consciousness is substantially
continuous with deindividuated consciousness. The individual is self-conscious to the extent that he recognizes his
individuality as an illusion. Otherwise in order to accept that 1) consciousness essentially defines personal identity,
2) there are a plurality of conscious persons and 3) each of the plurality of persons is an example of consciousness
because of some abstract quality or property that each consciousness possesses in common with all other examples of
consciousness, one must, along with Plantinga invoke a Universal Mind, one capable of examining all of the examples
of individual consciousness and seeing them as such.

Reexamine time scale reductionism in light of decoherence times. Gravitational time dilation: coherent vs.
decoherent temporality. Real existence. The vacuum does not gravitate, but facilitates gravitation of mass-energy
systems that it supports. This is analogous to how the patient cannot feel pain when the surgeon cuts into his brain
with th scalpel. Use cosmic CPU inertia argument to demonstrate how the Schrodinger Cat cant be alive in one
half of the superposition state because classical physics is essential to life processes, e.g., thermodynamic
irreversibility. Without decoherence, there would be no way to separate out the entanglement of one system from
another from the vacuum as the ground of being. The geometry of density vs. gravity, i.e.., changing from inverse
cube to inverse linear density function suggests that the topology of quantum entanglement is relevant to induced
gravity theory.

Boundary between conscious and unconscious is sociolinguistic. Suppressed abstractive details are latent
cross-cutting neural network pattern recognitions that can be re-reprocessed to get from RAM to ROM level of brain
function. The interference effects of quantum observation is secretly analogous to feedback effects resulting from a
patient studying an image of a functional MRI scan of his own visual cortex. Gravitational time dilation is associated
with reduction in virtual particle frequency and contraction of the particles DeBroglie wavelength. Is the contraction
of the DeBroglie wavelength 100% due to the acceleration of the virtual particle and hence taking on of mass by the
particle in conjunction with /\E//\p < c (vacuum) or is it due to the progressive mutual entanglement of the virtual
photons? Or would this require the particle to live longer than one harmonic oscillation, i.e., for the particle to be
understood as taking on mass in the gravitational field? In this way the virtual particle takes on both mass and
acceleration together. But the particle cant take on its full mass until it becomes fully real. Hence we must interpret
the GR effects on conversion of virtual to real statistically. In addition to general relativistic mass increase of bodies
freely falling in a gravitational field, the vacuum itself takes on mass even though this vacuum possesses no mass in
free spacetime. This means that the nexus of inertia is not mass, but the normally non-gravitating energy of the free
space vacuum, c.f., Kaiverainen's, p. 15-20 of his lanl.gov paper of around 2007-2008.
In retrospect we only see the causal chain we have left behind although in real time there were myriad junctures at
which this claim could have branched and multiplied. There is indeed a kind of stability and robustness of causal
branches, but only between the branch points where independent sensitivity to initial and boundary conditions may
exist. The only thing we perceive or observe in the object is its quantum vacuum signature. In the case of
decoherent brains vacuum state and the vacuum state of the object being studied. Decoherent-sized systems (relative
to the Planck mass/cosmic CPU) cannot be computed via the Schrodinger equation, and so exhibit inertia, e.g., time
dilation, etc. What is the special relationship of Frommian necrophilia to the concept of dignity? Well certainly the
dignity of the individual implies a certain irreducibility of the individual, if not actual uniqueness. Question: how can
two individuals be identical in every way except numerically and yet each be irreducible unless this irreducibility is
that of being itself, i.e., in the sense that the question Why is there something rather than nothing? is an irreducible
question.
Quantum observer system disturbance is not a causally mediated but via non-local correlations. How does man

reflected light), and so is in essence a hologram. Might the nonlocally correlated waveforms that compose the
Heisenberg uncertainty of an observable contain information about the precise value of the observable, but which is
not intersubjectively determinable, only subjectively, by the observer who performs the measurement of the
observable? The conscious brain is an interface device if you will, rather than an end station in the process of
conscious thought and perception, which opens up the narrow Planck diameter wormhole neck connecting two or
more normally topologically disjoint vacua.

Concerning the distillation of order from chaos and the obviating of design via the Anthropic cosmological principle
applied to the multiverse one is secretly relying upon the ubiquitous operation (and I do mean ubiquitous) of what
construction engineers refer to as a ratchet, i.e., to lock in any (to life and intelligence not to mention
consciousness) advantageous inadvertent advances made within the buzzing, blooming tumult of unrestrained
creative tinkering on the part of the ground of being otherwise known as Heraclitus flux. But of course a ratchet is a
mechanism and ex mechanismus mechanismus fit so to speak, paraphrasing a similar Latin phrase. If someday life is
shown to not be a mechanism, then we have a case of genuine emergence and this would violate the

principle of evolutionary development, which can only apply to a state machine, i.e., a device in which all possible
future states in some sense already exist in the sense of already being defined and we have to ask the question what
makes for the difference between the actual and merely possible in this case. There is no room for such a distinction
in the case of a deterministic state machine.

Gravitation
breaks the spacetime symmetry of the vacuum, this symmetry being normally manifest in the conservation of quantum
entanglement between spacelike and timelike fluctuations of the the vacuum, i.e., entanglement is not conserved
within gravitational fields. Since conservation principles are inevitably associated with continuity equations, one has
to ask here, what is the physical quantity whose flow in spacetime is conserved because continuous? On an
intuitive level doesnt the whole concept of nonlocality fly in the face of any notion of the continuity of
entanglement as some conserved substance. It is considerations such as these, which give us pause concerning a
literal principle of entanglement conservation. A possible way out here is to suppose that it is just the very
nonconservation of entanglement (with respect to certain Minkowski spacetime degrees of freedom), which engenders
a gravitational field in the first place. The nature of all spontaneous symmetry breaking, and the formation of all
coherently organized bound states, can be understood as the nature of spin alignment on those surfaces. Whole integer
spins tend to align with each other because they behave like commuting numbers, and half integer spins tend to
anti-align with each other because they behave like anti-commuting numbers. The nature of spin alignment also
reflects the symmetry of empty space. The actions of the universe are only animated because of the tendency for spin
alignment, c.f, Nonduality: A Scientific Perspective.

The black hole event horizon represents the limit at which maximal polarization entanglement of virtual photons is
observed. This supports my hypothesis that the gravitational redshift is owing to a spatially decreasing gradient in
polarization entanglement (and of Bose condensation) of virtual photons as 3-momentum fluctuations (spacelike
momentum fluctuations), extending from the black hole event horizon to infinity. See arXiv:

Upon acceleration the Rindler horizon (which forms a 2-sphere just as in the case of a bona fide black hole) forms
instantaneously (if the vacuum structure of the Rindler horizon is supported by vacuum entanglements), but also
seemingly must expand outward at the speed of light. Does the cosmological acceleration, Hc point to a

Smolin says that the Unruh radiation is powered by the engines whose thrust is causing the acceleration. This
suggests that the vacuum must do work in order to properly update its quantum state, i.e., vacuum(t(0)) + [work
energy] = vacuum(t(0) + 1) + [waste heat] --> entropy with waste heat possessing the Unruh temperature. Could the
2.7 K cosmological background radiation be the temperature of the heat reservoir of the Carnot engine which is
driving the irreversible component of the Universe's temporal evolution (cosmological expansion along its maximal
entropy gradient) - or just a relic thereof? "The photons that make up the vacuum electric and magnetic fields come

"You know who you are!" Of course, the addressees of this sort of statement may not know each other and may well
not be known by the person uttering the remark. Do automaticity and consciousness occupy a kind of I don't know, I
know, I know that I know, I know that I know that I know. . . continuum? Or is there a discontinuity between the
n(0) and n(1) cases that prevents such an inductively based formula from being established? Does quantum
indistiguishability break down in a gravitational field? One cannot produce two quantum-entangled beams of
photons from passing a thermal beam of photons through a beam splitter. This tend to suggest that all cases of the
production of quantum entanglement is really entanglement swapping, which is consistent with the notion of the
conservation of entanglement. Classical entanglement is produced, however in the above type of experiment.
Davies-Unruh radiation always consists of two components, photons possessing a thermal Bose-Einstein distribution
and electron-positron pairs possessing a thermal Planck-Einstein distribution. Can we conceive of the black hole
event horizon as a kind of "beam splitter" acting on a thermal beam of <virtual anyons>, producing two thermal beams
with distinct quantum statistics that are not merely quantum correlated, but correlated in some still more fundamental
fashion, say via a local hidden variable mechanism that is hidden behind the black hole horizon? Don't we already
know that the statistics of the two Unruh beams are nonlocally correlated? Anyonic hidden variable processes just
on the other side of the black hole horizon? Timelike excitations, correlations. (July 2008 check)
Quantum correlations (of fluctuations) falling into a black hole go from spacelike to timelike in quality. A
1/2-silvered mirror functions just like a beam splitter. The two distinct thermal emissions are produced by two
mechanisms acting at maximum, Bose enhancement and Pauli blocking. Uncertainty radiation related to Dirac hole
theory of the vacuum. It seems we have a discontinuity of twice the mass energy of the electron ("dressed" mass is
meant here). Do the negative binding energies of the electron-positron pair help to remove the band/mass gap in the
QED vacuum so as to enable a smooth continuity between the anyonic event horizon processes connecting the Bose
enhancement and Pauli blocking mechanisms of Hawking radiative particle production at the black hole event
horizon.
@$The reduced number density of energy fluctuations, i.e., energy transition in the crystal's coupled harmonic
oscillators, controls an enlarged number density of 3-momentum fluctuations. This constitutes a squeezed
state/phase space and squeezed Heisenberg momentum-energy uncertainty for the crystal in which the momentum
fluctuations have become more highly energy degenerate and moreover more highly quantum correlated (by virtue of
being controlled by a relatively smaller matrix of energy fluctuations). In associated with increased degeneracy for
the spectrum of momentum fluctuations is associated with increased quantum correlations via entangled virtual
photons polarization even though in the face of increased overall Heisenberg 3-momentum uncertainty for the crystal.
Half-silvered mirror holds an analogy to the event horizon of a black hole. A coded electromagnetic wave
transmission passing through a half-silvered mirror in which the photons are quantum correlated, say in terms of
polarization results in a splitting of the quantum correlations of the photons into two components, one hidden and the
other public. How do the mutual quantum correlations alter for the photons in the sample that does not pass through
the half-silvered mirror, but which are reflected and comprising the inaccessible sample, c.f., my lunch conversation

Quoted from much earlier in this paper is the following observation: "A ball whirling on a string
when released moves of with a momentum directed at a tangent to its former orbit and
perpendicular to the rotational axis of this orbit. So using this simple model for the conversion of
angles into linear momentum, we might suppose that an angular momentum that could be
translated into linear momentum directed along any axis within 3-dimensional space (of a certain
inertial frame) must itself be directed along an axis [orthogonal to x, y, z within this certain
inertial frame]." So the fact that electron-positron annihilation radiation may be oriented along
any axis within 3-space means that, if the linear momentum of the annihilation photons stems from
a conversion of spin angular momentum into linear momentum (Note that a Lorentz boost induces
quantum entanglement between the spin and momentum degrees of freedom and that the ultimate
Lorentz boost is the direct conversion of matter into energy, i.e., photons), which in analogy to the
released ball whirling on a string suggests that in some relevant sense fermionic spin degrees of
freedom are timelike directed!

But shouldnt this discrete periodicity of recessional velocity (72km/Mpc) mean that we have
evidence of a wavefunction describing cosmological scale phenomena. Or Psi structure on large
scale mass-energy systems. The discrete spectrum of cosmological expansion rate with
increasing distance - in increments o 72km/s/MegaParsec is evidence that the universe is tunneling
through a hyperspherical potential barrier, which also would explain the imaginary momentum of
masses at rest that are moving at approximately c in a timelike direction? Kind of reminds me
of the WKB approximation of the barrier tunneling problem where you get exponentially decaying
oscillatory solutions for the wavefunction within the barrier as well as an imaginary momentum
and negative kinetic energy for the tunneling particle represented by the WKB approximate
wavefunction. (from email to Dan Van Gent, dated November 26, 2006)

Eigenfunctions of a and a+ - any well behaved Psi may be expanded in terms of these. "Fluctuations and
correlations determine the average of any physically observable quantity, so that they describe all features
of the distribution that we have any need to know about.", p. 201, Quantum Theory (Bohm, 1951). The
increasing correlation of exchange photons is reflected in the decreased /\E associated with the broadened
/\p.
An accelerating electric charge emits electromagnetic radiation (of what spectrum?), but a charge
accelerating while in free fall is moving inertially and does not emit radiation. Is this in some ways similar to
the way that Hawking radiation is not observed by an observer falling freely into a black hole? Similar also
to the fact that an inertially accelerating observer does not observe a thermal spectrum of Davies-Unruh
radiation?
Quantum uncertainty is underpinned by the fluctuations that lead to decoherence. Each of the many
worlds of the MWI quantum theory are themselves by the bifurcative nature of reality pointed up by free will
and consciousness. But temporal evolution of each possible world is driven by the /\E within that world (or
by a /\E outside the world - from global vacuum state?) Decoherence and emergence are both
nonunitary.
Free will as choosing between different states of consciousness out of a spectrum that is not predictable or

The fundamental tension between general relativity and quantum mechanics is that between the linear
superposition principle and Einstein's principle of equivalence. Had the observer been falling inertially the
whole time then the quantum information that would have otherwise been lost is preserved, but this is not
truly "public information" because a Rindler horizon separates two distinct vacua, which QFT tells us cannot
be superposed or entangled so as to permit teleportation of not fully public, i.e., "local" as opposed to global
information. It is the general relativistic differences in vacua that undermines entanglement supportive of
teleportation in the first place.
July 2011
To receive quantum entanglement-encoded information, one must possess
the appropriate quantum key. (During quantum teleportation, quantum states along with their Heisenberg
uncertainties are transported superluminally.) In the case of the human brain, this key may be thought of as
metainformation, i.e., information about information, that instructs the brain how to adjust its quantum vacuum
frequency filters (prequencies) so that the brain can tune itself and receive those frequencies. A certain
prequency spectrum of the brains quantum mechanical processes must be maintained in order for binding to occur
(see the binding problem in the philosophy of mind) in order to create and sustain the consciousness of the
individual. But what is likely being adjusted here is only the boundary conditions upon a certain relatively smal l
spectrum of the vacuum electromagnetic fields self-interaction. The concept of the action of deity as well as that of
mind is that in which emergence and always alreadiness are reconciled (through the always alreadiness of the
potential for novelty in a self-sustaining, intelligent and creative being). So the tactic we should use for identifying the
fingerprints of deity on its creations is to 1) identify areas of genuine emergence and 2) discover the laws of quantum
nonlocality that orchestrate this emergence, c.f, emergence of conscious states (but not necessarily of consciousness
itself!) in the nonlocally connected action of electrons and vacuum electromagnetic fields in the brains microtubule
dimers. The intersubjective clearly cannot explain the subjective (what would amount to a contradiction in terms),
although the collaboration of the subjective must clearly explain the intersubjective. There indeed may be no need to
explain the existence of God (well, really of his being, collectively), but an explanation would be required, if we desired
to maintain that this God is individual and unique. This is why the top-down, information-based metaphysics just
makes more sense than a radical materialistic one wherein all wholes are explained exclusively in terms of their parts.
Note that the subjective in its freely-willed collaboration to produce the intersubjective is not exactly what one would call
a case of a whole being composed of its parts! (Two distinct notions of independently existing implied here.)
So really the Black Hole Information paradox boils down to the trivial observation that there can be no
communication between Rindler I and Rindler II wedges.
Zeilinger - superposition of Bucky balls - does superposition require nonlocality? Yes, Bucky balls are
less than the Planck mass distinct in energy.
The amoeba on the test particle does not see the superposition of the test particle's state, if the amoeba is
also in a superposition state, entangled as it is with the test particle. The No Go Theorem for quantum
vacuum superposition poses a serious problem for the MWI interpretation of the quantum measurement
problem.
Background spacetime or not makes a difference in resolution of black hole information paradox. Does
the prohibition against superposing vacua also mean no superposition of gravitational fields, i.e., matter
distributions greater than Planck mass /\m?
The decoherence of spontaneous emission should increase with the increase in spectral energy density of
the vacuum's 3-momentum fluctuations, i.e., density of virtual bosons (photons). This is accompanied by
increased Pauli blocking. <Pauli blocking> <Bose enhancement> <reciprocal> <see saw>
But decoherence processes are temporal processes subject to the influence o time dilation. We must be
tinkering with the underlying mechanism of gravity, e.g., decoherence processes. (seeming paradox?)
This is similar to how the extra temperature from Hawking radiation could accelerate chemical or nuclear
processes even though time dilation is greater where the Hawking temperature is greater.

The fermion and antifermion are not really entangled any way so close to the event horizon. The only
reason the pair can nonetheless be spontaneously created is that the energy degeneracy and /\p density
are so high, c.f., Wigner's Little Groups and entanglement of momentum and spin degrees of freedom -
continuous transduced teleporting of spin information. So the fermion that falls into the hole has no
entanglement information, but was merely in the opposite state with respect to quantum numbers from the
partner fermion that escapes the horizon.

The source of irreversibility and entropy is the vacuum energy fluctuations (timelike). Note that all of the
timelike /\E fluctuations have to be rotated into spacelike /\p fluctuations which, instead of emanating from a
timelike hypersurface now emanate from a spacelike event horizon. <Energy degeneracy of quantum

the event horizon of a black hole.

@$
Explore the concept of the Bohr complementarity of Bose condensation and Pauli blocking through an
examination of quantum entanglement conservation. The Pauli blocking effect should be a simple function
of the degree of Pauli blocking within a single Cooper pair, e.g., Pauli blocking of the fermionic fluctuations
of the vacuum electromagnetic field should be 100% for the free real fermions within a quantum vacuum
fluctuation field in which the mutual quantum correlation of virtual fermions and antifermions is Psi.
Though such an extreme case is not expected to occur because conservation of spin requires creation and
annihilation of virtual fermions and antifermions in spin-opposite pairs of collective spin-0. As usual
however, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle can be relied upon to aid in the skirting of otherwise strict
(classical) conservation laws - here the operative uncertainty principle is /\phi/\L >= h, where Phi is the spin
orientation phase angle and L is the angular momentum (spin in this case). Pauli blocking is a function of
both the degree of correlation of spins of the virtual fermion and antifermion within each individual Cooper
pair, as well as the degree of correlation of the spins of real fermions in the case of partial blocking of virtual
by real Cooper pairs. Of course, we expect Bose enhancement of virtual by real Cooper pairs, c.f.,
superconducting gravitomagnetic effect. At high enough Hawking temperature, Bose condensation of
virtual photons breaks down, posing a constraint upon the induced gravity can compensate for insufficiently
low temperature, c.f., for producing fermionic Bose condensate, c.f., Wikipedia on fermion condensation.

As
cit=
Misner, Thorne and Wheeler say in Gravitation, curved spacetime tells matter how to
move and matter tells spacetime how to curve and so the phenomenon of inertia must be grounded in the
action of matter upon vacuum in combination with the back-action of vacuum upon matter. The complexity
threshold where matter becomes too complex to be simulated by the deterministic, time-independent
Schrdinger Equation, is precisely the threshold at which both spontaneous spacetime symmetry breaking,
manifesting as spontaneous quantum decoherence, thermodynamic irreversibility, inertia and gravitation
suddenly manifest themselves.
@$
(Quantum systems of smaller mass than the Planck mass which well
take as the decoherence limit still have a gravitational and inertial effect, but of a distinctly different
character than do more massive bodies, i.e., significantly larger than the Planck mass, which is a topic that
definitely bears further investigation.) The polarization and magnetization field strengths should exhibit the
same sort of incompatibility as quantum observables as do the E and B fields. Given impressed static E
and B fields of magnitude 0, a Lorentz transformation applied to a dielectric material should cause a shift in
which polarization is decreased and magnetization increased. All quantum interference effects are really
quantum self-interference effects, the origin of which may well be self-interfering processes within the
so-called quantum observer. Is information conserved if the quantity of information remains constant while
the contents of information vary? The dynamical ground for spontaneous symmetry breaking seems in
the same vein as the ground that provides the meaning giving context to brain physiological processes
making up the contents of the conscious mind. The electric and magnetic field strengths are mutually
incompatible through the incompatibility of position and momentum applied to electric charges and
currents. Specifying the position of an electric charge more precisely permits more precise specification
of the charge's static electric field, but at the price of an uncertain charge momentum, which must be
associated with a corresponding uncertainty in the electric current and hence in the magnetic field strength.
Similarly, the more accurately is the magnetic field specified, the more precisely is the charge momentum
specified, which by the uncertainty principle, the less precisely can the charge position be measured,
leading to a less precisely measurable electric field. In Feynman's parton quark model the interaction
between quarks (partons) becomes time dilated so that the binding energy of partons (making up a single
hadron) decreases as v approaches c. Like any other accelerating mass, if binding energy is the basis of
inertia and is lost with acceleration and as a function of relative velocity, in accordance with the correct
functional relationship F(Eb) (v, a), then the amount of binding energy given upon the mass reaching c must
be mc**2. However, as a hadron falls into a gravitational field it enters a region of vacuum where energy
fluctuations, embodied in the vacuum's /\E are progressively transferred into 3-momentum fluctuations,
embodied in the /\p of the vacuum. The magnetization of the quantum vacuum in the form of the quantum
entanglement of electrons and positrons within virtual Cooper pairs, created and annihilated spontaneously
in accordance with the magnitude of the density of the vacuum's Heisenberg uncertain energy is
progressively degraded in ever stronger gravitational fields; the virtual e+'s and e-'s become progressively
more independent and the molecular bosonic character of the spontaneously created virtual Cooper pairs is
progressively degraded, which may be understood as decoherence and breaking of spontaneous
symmetry (of spacetime, which includes the electromagnetic gauge?); in this way the Pauli Principle acts
ever more strongly upon the constituent fermions of the spontaneously created and annihilated virtual
Cooper pairs. And this is the mechanism by which matter's effect upon the quantum statistics of the
vacuum is strengthened in progressively more intense gravitational fields.

principle (after all, according to naturalism, the Universe has always been here) while at once letting go o
the tendency to wish to see this principle the other way round. A tenuous application of this new
understanding of Leibniz' Principle might be within the debate between Machian and classical relativists'
understanding of
prn=
Einsteins Equivalence Principle, e.g., must we treat
prn=
equivalent Lorentz frames as
possessing a common origin, say, either through vacuum entanglement or via cosmological initial
conditions? - or would we treat them thus on purely formal grounds?, that is, is Einstein's Equivalence a
kinematic or a dynamic principle? If the so-called stuff of which the world is made was not created and
"has just always been here," then Leibniz' Principle must break down - though perhaps only within the
understanding, c.f.,
au=
Kan't notion of "the understanding". In other words the dynamics is "squeezed out"
by the kinematics. Simultaneous reinterpretation along metaphorical axes while forging a line of literal
exposition behaves akin to multi-temporal process. At root of all quantum interference phenomena is
self-interference of the field, which can manifest itself as particles though only when this self-interference
loop becomes short circuited, either by an observer or potential observer. My review of the spin and orbital
angular momentum theory suggests that these two quantities are separately conserved just like the
separate components of 3-momentum are conserved, well at least for the case where v/c 1.
@$
The
separate conservation of S and L seems to imply that S doesn't exchange J with L in an analogous way to
how say, colliding gyroscopes (with rough surfaces) might exchange angular momentum between like
components of L (in such a manner tha Lx = Lx1 + Lx2 = constant; same for Ly, Lz, etc. One might expect
that for the relativistic case that there would be a break down in the separate conservation of components of
not only 3-momentum, but 3-angular momentum, 3-spin, etc., c.f., reinterpretation of Einstein's perihelion
precession problem, origin of inertia in gyroscopic resistance to acceleration, an so on. Hawking radiation
shows the extreme case where the entanglement of spins has been 100% transformed into /\p manifested
as the 3-momentum fluctuations at the event horizon surface. Is there a deep connection between the two
basic varieties of information non-conservation vis a vis continuous vs. discrete decoherence of the density
matrix, that is, loss of quantum information across a Rindler horizon vs. collapsing of Psi by a freely willed
interaction of an observer with a quantum system? Magnetization (spin polarization) of virtual Cooper
pairs may be considered internal entanglement. External entanglement of virtual pairs may be described
in terms of polarization of the quantum vacuum. The bondage to decay as described in the Book of
Romans. Waxing old and wearing out. If the Universe were secretly a computational system, then we
couldn't really have an entropy flow/gradient without a complementary information flow/gradient. In the
same way that Einstein deduced spontaneous emission from purely thermodynamic considerations, we
may be able to deduce nonlocality from the necessity of a thermodynamic ground (thermal vacuum
states(s)) for enabling flows of entropy and conversely, transmission of information. Chaos-Cosmos;
Complex-->Simple Give an example of multiple copy of a context-sensitive content of information. The
only way to side step the 2nd Law is to receive input from outside spacetime. Clearly the vacuum must be
in a "prepped state" for order to arise spontaneously. When spin has been determined to be in the +
x-direction with eigenstate Sx, then the values of Sy and Sz are indeterminate. So what then if no spin
measurement had been performed? Then all three spins would be indeterminate (in the sense of "up"
and/or "down" along each spatial axis) - and so the spin must be determined secretly to be Sw or timelike.
(Does this imply absolute direction of time - no - because the orthogonal Si's are indeterminate. Like
Leibniz' clock whose ticking was only noticed once it had stopped, one's bizarre metaphysical assumption,
i.e., more or less that life is an illusion and not real, was exploded by the devastating critique of the
Schrdingers Cat Paradox. The related phenomena of spontaneous symmetry breaking (under
infinitesimal perturbations), spontaneous decoherence, wavefunction collapse, e.g., spontaneous
emission, quantum tunneling, etc. constitute proof of the objective nature of classical physical reality -
classical physics is the correct description of physical reality at its appropriate scale! This is what
objectively real means vis a vis recent pseudoscience watershed of Jungian quantum voodoo "What the
Bleep Do We know" style bullshit. The phenomenon of spontaneous decoherence, which is one and the
same with the inadequacy of the deterministic time-independent Schrdinger equation (and derivative
Klein-Gordan and Dirac equations) as a complete description of the quantum field, again, is proof positive
that the Universe is not a simulation, but is real. This "realness" is importantly related to the phenomena
of free will and consciousness. Both free will and consciousness "surprise" the alleged ground of physical
being, i.e., startle the quantum vacuum as cosmic CPU of "simulated Universe" leading to the faltering of
the simulation in capturing the state of the Universe. Entanglement entropy is not covariant. Vacuum
supports superposition so superposition of distinct vacua is no allowed. Superposition principle vs.
principle of equivalence. The fact that perfect isolation of a quantum system does not prevent
environmental decoherence implies that the vacuum fluctuation field induces decoherence. The mind
allegedly does this as well through the action of its consciousness. The mind concentrates quantum
entanglement and so observation enhances the effect of vacuum-based environmental decoherence.
But then part of what discomfits the quantum vacuum is the unanticipated will of the conscious observer,
implying that the brain of the observer is somehow altogether outside "the environment". It is the
indistinguishability of quantum particles that leads to teleportation and substance-like properties of quantum
information which defy context-sensitivity, up to a point, that is. EPR's position was that a measurement
must be predetermined if it can be known with certainty. But the decision whether or not to make this
measurement is not predetermined. The less well correlated (via quantum entanglement) are the, e.g.,
electron and position making up a virtual Cooper pair, the less does the pair behave as a collective spin-0
particle, i.e., boson and the more do the particles of the pair behave as independent fermions to which the
Pauli Principle is completely democratic, not making distinction between virtual and so-called real particles.
Henceforth we will term this notion of the radically democratic Pauli Principle. Feynman's Pauli Principle
or, "Feynman's Principle" for short. /\E is decreasing all the while e+ and e- are becoming more mutually
independent, which should normally imply a greater /\E. ??? e+e+e-e-e+e+ --> +1, +0, -1, -0, +1. . . How
do we interpret "+" and "-" in "0+" and "0-" ? The mitochondrion is now thought to have once been an
independent bacterium that "gave up too many genes" after which it could only survive in symbiosis with a
eukaryote cell. This inexplicably suggested to me the contrast between "sin" and "grace" as being
complementary entities. When spin has been determined to be in the + x-direction, say with state, S(x), then
the values of S(y) and S(z) are indeterminate, i.e., there is a total of 360 degrees of uncertainty, you might
say because of 180 degrees of /\S(y) + 180 degrees of /\S(z). Could it be that the 180 degree rotation of
a spin-1/2 particle in the x-y plane, for example (rather than in the x-z plane - both rotations representing a
change from s = S(x) to s = -S(x), by the way) is secretly accompanied by rotations in the Heisenberg
uncertainties in th spin in other orthogonal directions? We should not here that the antiparticle to particle
with spin, +S(z) must have an opposite spin of -S(z), which is apparently part and parcel to the antiparticle's
interpretation (originally by Feynman) as the same particle, though moving backward in time. I supposed
that the spin uncertainties were rotated along with the determinate component of the particle's spin being
rotated because, when the state Q of a particle is teleported, the Heisenberg uncertainty in Q, /\Q is also
teleported. This way, interpreting particle propagation as the continuous teleportation of the particle
implies that a Lorentz boost not only transforms Q, but also transforms /\Q. Confirmed that the "prior art"
literature asserts that the speed of light in vacuum is increased in a Casimir vacuum and that this is on
account of a decrease in the number density of scattering virtual electron-positron pairs in the path of a
propagating photon, which must be interpreted as a decrease in /\p relative to /\E for the the quantum
system of conducting plates and vacuum between the plates. The polarization of light rotates as it passes
through dielectric medium (Faraday rotation). <magnetization rotation>, <spin polarized electrons>
Electrons have DeBroglie wavelengths because of the 1-loop propagation via continual substitution within
e+e- virtual pairs, which are timelike fluctuations and so, by Fourier's theorem must be represented by a
wavepacket of frequency domain functions. Collective spin-1 and spin-0 are in competition in supporting
the propagation of photons and electron/positron pairs, i.e., e+e-, e-e+, e+e+, e-e-. When /\s(x), /\s(y), and
/\s(z) are nonzero, then does this imply that /\s(w) = 0, i.e., the spin is pointing in a timelike direction? During
a Lorentz boost, spin and momentum degrees of freedom become entangled, c.f., Wigner's "Little Groups".
Cooper pairs have 100% anti-correlated spins, +/- S(i)'s (where i = 1,2, or 3 or superposition of 1,2 and 3
and the +/- /\S(i)'s cancel because of the entanglement of the +/-S(i)'s.) In the same way that we might ask
whence comes the energy liberated by a matter-antimatter annihilation reaction we might also ask,
"whence comes the extra 3-angular momentum that we can't account for from Newtonian mechanics which
appears as perihelion precession of the planet Mercury's orbit and which is predicted by the General Theory
of Relativity?" Could the anomalous boost in Mercury's 3-angular momentum stem from the
transformation of the planet's 4-angular momentum through a cyclic continuum of acclerated frames? In
which case there msut be a hidden component of timelike angular momentum possessed by the planet,
which becomes more and more spacelike as the planet orbits closer to the Sun. This hidden timelike
component of angular momentum resides with the collective elementary spin-0 of the planet's bulk material,
the properties of which are determined by hidden quantum entanglement of all particles composing the
planet's mass. Causality, simultaneity and spin-1/2 measurement: In one reference frame, Alice
measures her particle's spin 1st; in another reference frame, Bob measures his particle's spin 1st. "Bohm's
Law" only applies when certain entanglement conditions obtain. Probability against a certain
self-decohering system doesn't necessarily increase moving backward in time (even taking emergence into
account). Decoherence is in opposition to emergence. <quantum emergence theory> <spinor
relativity> During propagation, what is the relationship between the net angular momentum vector and the
linear momentum?, e.g., the photon's spin is <parallel to its direction of motion>. If spin-1/2 is to be
associated with timelike angular momentum that is directed parallel or anti-parallel to the direction of
timelike propagation, then the equation of a complete wavefunction phaseshift with a 720 degree (rather
than 360 degree) rotation of the spin-1/2 particle can be intuitively understood in terms of 4-rotations of the
particle within spacetime. If a spin-1/2 particle, say s(z) = +/- 1/2 is Lorentz boosted to near "c", then, as
reckoned from the original laboratory reference frame, what is the direction of the particle's spin, s(z)' in
terms of s(z)? The spin of an elementary particle cannot be altered, only the direction in which the spin of
the particle pionts. Does this suggest that when /\S(x), /\S(y), and /\S(z) are nonzero that the spin must be
determined to be +/- 1/2 in some orthogonal directions that is "incompatible" with "x", "y" and "z"? The
"incompatibility" would perhaps be indirect, e.g., /\x(i) is incompatible with /\p(i), /\t is incompatible with /\E
and /\x(i) and /\t form a 4-vector while /\p(i) and /\E form a four vector.

Talent is sublimated rather than the motive lying with appreciation or enjoyment of the specific subject
matter.
The "no-cloning" theorem is essentially a statement of the principle of the conservation of entanglement,
which supplants the classical physical notion of "stuff conservation". Without the activity of substance,
which is irreducible to form, (implying an unconserved quantity) threre can be no legitimate temporality.
"Stuff" is actually a quantum construct that is not conserved, though indeed, perhaps quantum
entanglement is. In the way, decoherence becomes a physical necessity! It's not the momentum of the
photon (Heisenberg's light microscope thought experiment), but the sate of knowledge of the observer (or
mere "knowledgeability" of some hypothetical/possible observer?) that reduces Psi?

"/\Q about", i.e., /\Q in context-collapsed by the mere possibility of measurement/knowledge. "/\Q of", i.e.,
/\Q out of context - can only be collapsed by actual measurement/knowledge of observer (which we are
assuming here can only be gotten by measurement, but there are so-called "non-demolition"
measurements that exploit Bell nonlocality.
Environmental decoherence is related to consciousness' role in collapsing Psi. What about when
information embodied in /\Q is tied to a microscopic state?, c.f., 2-states superposition, environmental
decoherence has the same effect as observation, i.e., binary opposition. This is not the case fo systems
of sufficient complexity. But such systems can start out context-free and binary opposition-reducible, but
lose this character due to environmental entanglement. The structure of spin decoherence show that
under sufficiently large accelerations, spin possesses the property of timelike angular momentum.
Investigate the quantity, J = L + S in a Lorentz-boosted context. Propagation may perhaps be interpreted
a la Bohm's Law/Principle in terms of <"continuous teleportation">. Not knowing what information was
teleported - just that the state, Q was transmitted is suggestive of a <"substance paradigm">. "<...>"
means perform Google search on contents of angle brackets.

The complementarity relation between nonlocal and local (classical) information in addition to evidence that
entanglement is a conserved quantity (quantum # = quantity of von Neumann information) suggests that all
information-bearing structures distill
prn=
von Neumann information from quantum entanglement that
ultimately exists within the vacuum, i.e., all entanglement derives from vacuum entanglement. How do we
distinguish uncertainty of from uncertainty about and are they sometimes the same thing, e.g., intentionality
of consciousness.
December 2011
Investigate the paradoxical notion that the essential intentionality of
consciousness is intentionality in the absence of the object. And yet this is very much in the nature of pure
consciousness, understood as the immediate object of Buddhist meditation techniques.
prn=
Vedral's notion of how photons appear to take on mass in a superconductor that is manifesting the
Meissner effect due to quantum entanglement between electrons that have formed Cooper pairs seems
closely interrelated to mine and Volovik's dual superfluid vacuum model for induced gravity, c.f.,

Vedral's

paper on entanglement underlying the bulk properties of matter such as the complementarity between
magnetization and magnetic susceptibility. This was suggested to me when I chanced upon the New

Teleportation involves transmission of unmeasurable quantities, /\Q and states protected by the no-cloning
theorem. Classical information packaged as quantum information, e.g., turn around time for correlations of
heated LiF chips with metastable states.

DeBroglie wavefunction as wavelength of a physical wave versus as a wavelength for a Psi. Planck cutoff
for energy of highest frequency
prn=
DeBroglie matter wave implies such a cut off for most dense encoding of
quantum information, i.e., vacuum information saturation. Tie this in to the two distinct interpretations of
grounds for decoherence. <polarized Psi>, <magnetized Psi>

Local realism is false and quantum decoherence necessitates inertia and the reality of classical information
embodied in the local systems and states. Reality of nonlocal "stuff".

A deterministic chaotic system could not be modeled in terms of correlated quantum fluctuations, which
would be a linear description. Is the turn around time the classical information that must be sent along
with the teleported information? Continuity of boundary conditions in the electron two slit experiment.
The no-cloning theorem is essentially a statement of the principle of entanglement conservation, which
supplants the notion of "stuff conservation" from classical physics. "Stuff" is actually a quantum construct
that is not conserved, though entanglement is - so decoherence becomes a necessity. It's not the
momentum of the photon (Heisenberg's light microscope thought experiment), but the state of knowledge of
the observer (knowledgeability of hypothetical obserer?) that collapses Psi.

Of course, one simple approach to the cosmological constant problem is to suppose that the vast bulk of the
quantum vacuum is in a Bose-condensed "zero state" where the Bose particles make no contribution to the
vacuum's energy density or pressure, c.f., p. 74, McGraw Hill Concise Encyclopedia of Physics.

"Lines of induction due to a conductor of any shape" must form a closed path about the conductor. How
do you form a "closed path" about a conductor that happens to be an event horizon?
The electron's spinning about its axis" is not to be understand literally as in the days of the old quantum
theory but merely figuratively. However, the question nonetheless arises as to which axis, if indeed not a
spatial one, about which the electron does in fact literally turn.

Gregory Benford's SF short story, "Anomalies" gives a good intuitive insight into the causes of quantum
decoherence.

A "quantum substance" isn't identified until you have specified all possible quantum numbers.
Observations of quantum systems of fermions specified in terms of a particular list of quantum numbers
shall instantiate the Pauli Principle, provided that the specified list of the quantum numbers constitutes a
complete set of quantum numbers. If one quantum is left undetermined, then the system remains
capable of behaving as though insubstantial. *See relationship of cellular automata (CA) theory with
theory of entanglement and quantum decoherence.

Interpret principle of equivalence, motion of test bodies, event horizon, gravitational redshift, perihelion
precession, deflection of starlight, and radio time delay in terms of Volovik dual superfluid vacuum theory.
Look at causal structure in special relativity in terms of Bohm's Principle and then the departure from this
principle necessitated by the theory of general relativity. Perturbations of quantum statistics of the
vacuum by real particles and fields that can be processed by the vacuum + matter's nonlocal connectivity,
i.e., processed (as though by a cosmic CPU) while Bohm's Principle remains inviolate do not contribute to
inertial or gravitational mass or, for that matter, to decoherence of the nonlocally connected vacuum fields
and no irreversible or time-asymmetric processing occurs, i.e., no entropy is generated.

The twin paradox is revolved by noting that O and O' have different notions of simultaneity in comparing
their clock readings.
How can the field equations of GR be truly nonlinear if the tensor equations of GR are coordinate system
independent. Maybe the pesky non-gravitating vacuum component of the cosmological constant secretly
appears within all three terms of the field equations and so canceling out. The solution to the
cosmological constant problem would then be trivial.

The (-) sign occurring in the expression for the spacetime interval, which serves to distinguish time from
space, to the (-) sign that serves to distinguish fermionic or asymmetric wavefunction from bosonic or
symmetric wavefunction. This was first suggested to me by the equation,

|Psi| = |Psi(s) + iPsi(a)| = (Psi(s) + i Psi(a))x(Psi(s) - iPsi(a)) = Psi(s)**2 + Psi(a)**2 = |Psi(s)| + |Psi(a)|

There are spatial rotations and spacetime rotations (aka Lorentz transformations), so it seems reasonable
to suppose that the motion of "time rotation" is a valid number. We must distinguish wish rotations of the
time axis from rotations "about" the time axis.

So fermions may be interpreted most broadly as substance/figure and bosons as insubstantial/ground.
"Ground" as merely hidden figure, that is, as merely complementary to ground shuts out the dynamics by
which figure transforms itself into its complement given certain boundary conditions (discrete quantum
transitions) or continuous transformations (through continuous change in the quantum field boundary
conditions?) (See Leggett (1987), especially chapters 5 and 6.) "Interactionism" theory of mind is most
compatible with the Copenhagen "Collapse Model" of the quantum measurement problem.

One solution to the quantum measurement problem might be to involve (1) interference between quantum
superposed states of the system under observation with superpositions of an observer's perceptions of the
system, in addition to invoking (2) nonlocal connectivity of the quantum brains of multiple simultaneous
observers of the system. The nonlocal connectivity of the vacuum is not uniform but is comprised by cells
or domains of greater nonlocal connectivity.

Temporality implies that the system is not in an energy eigenstate. When
prn=
Bohm's Principle is violated
and entanglement is not conserved, a dynamics as opposed to a merely kinematic process is ongoing, and
of course a certain amount of entropy (von Neumann or Shannon?) is generated. Entanglement
non-conservation forms the basis of temporal evolution and is fundamentally non-computable. Classical
information constitutes the boundary conditions for quantum information. The reverse of this is true as
well, i.e., quantum information constituting the boundary conditions for classical information, though only up
to a threshold. This threshold is situated at the onset of irreversibility in the system's changes in state.
@?
When quantum information capacity of a system is outstripped by the system's classical information, it is
here that the system begins to undergo decoherence.

As the rate of increase in classical information begins to outstrip the quantum information processing power
of the system, then it is here where the system experiences a relativistic increase in mass. Associated
with this is a relativistic increase in momentum acting in the opposite sense to the vector of the impressed
acceleration, which is the origin of inertia. Conservation of quantum entanglement may b demonstrated
through analysis of the generalized uncertainty relations for so called squeezed states.

In the equation for the derivation of E = mc**2, interpreting the term under the integral, mv/sqrt[1 - v**2/c**2]
as the product of an invariant "m" with a relativistic velocity,
v' = v/sqrt[1 - v**2/c**2] appears to yield an energy of mc**2 long before v reaches the value of "c" in the
upper bound of the integral. Why?

SQUIDS may be used to measure quantum scale changes in magnetic susceptibility, which in turn could be
used to measure magnetization entanglement in bulk material. SQUIDs could measure small changes in
susceptibility at different gravitational potentials as well as changes in quantum gravitational noise in
vacuum.
Dirac's equation really calls for creation and annihilation of 4 spin-1/2 particles in vacuum, or rather, a/a+ of
superposition states of 4 spin-1/2 particles. Can a particular Lorentz frame be associated with a particular
possibility for a quantum measurement?
Instead of using M, the magnetization as an index of entanglement, it might be better in light of the paper,
Magnetic Susceptibility as a Macroscopic Entanglement Witness, Vedral et al. to utilize mu the
permeability and chi the susceptibility as such an index. Hopefully another similar paper shall be
published soon in which it will be shown that electric susceptibility can be a witness of electric dipole
entanglement.
We have free will in the sense of our brains being able to outstrip the quantum computing capacity of the
local vacuum, but it is still for working out our character, which is also our fate - but a fate that can change if
caught up with that of others.
Bohm's principle/law is transcendental across the temporal horizon where causal law becomes too complex
to be modeled by a matrix of correlated quantum fluctuations - this is the idea of historical determinism
within but not between historical moments, c.f., Gibb's phenomenon, edge effects of electromagnetic fields
at boundary surfaces, etc.

Discuss: locally versus globally mediated causality, Rindler horizons, Bohm's Law and decoherence of
quantum information.

How do we characterize what happens to the psyche of a young bureaucrat who is at first forced but then

his own personal judgment?
How is a series of vacuum fluctuations nonlocally connected fundamentally distinct from a series which is
simultaneous (the components of the series, one to another) only in a unique Lorentz frame? Does
causal connection transcend mere quantum correlation rather than being merely a subclass thereof? - in
the sense of exceeding the one-graviton Planck mass virtual black hole limit? And wouldn't the
transcendence of quantum information by classical information, paradoxically enough play an important
role in explicating decoherence and collapse phenomena?
In other words, can a set of nonlocally connected up to but not including the one-graviton limit? The riddle
of the would-be gravity and inertia of the quantum vacuum, i.e., the cosmological constant riddle is
intimately bound up with this consideration. Perturbation of the action of the vacuum state cannot be
treated perturbatively, i.e., as a summation of plane waves (non-interacting particles) is precisely the point
at which spacetime is obliged to curve. Note that "particle" is an ill-defined notion in strongly curved
spacetimes. Rather than decoherence being an effect of gravitation, it seems more logical to suppose
that gravity is a special case of decoherence processes within the quantum vacuum.

Volovik's suspicion that the cosmological constant tracks the cosmological (average) mass density of the
Universe combined with the fact that in GR gravitational energy (to include gravitational binding energy) is
nonlocal leads us to a possible mechanism for Volovik's equating of the two energy densities, cosmological
constant and average mass density of the Universe.

"A thumbprint doesn't open the door of perception, it blows it off the hinges. You melt into eternity. You
let go and die into the moment which is all. There is no you anymore at all. The intensity of this can't be
descriped, but you realize as you're slipping away that it's familiar". If consciousness truly exists and is
not an illusion (if there's something left over once all mental contents have been removed), then the self
would be truly at home in and a citizen of so to speak the realm of Being, which is to say, eternal being.

That medium which serves as the "ground of being" cannot be fully reconstituted through a cobbling
together of entities originally abstracted from this dynamic, creative and sustaining medium. Some
embedding and enabling context would be needed to fill in (flesh out, if you will) the aboriginally suppressed
details that constituted the original categories (read: "things") that one is seeking to cobble together into a
coherent whole.

If we are always in time and never separate in our being from its flow, that is, composed of this very flow that
also comprises the temporality of the outside world, then how indeed do we subjectively reckon time; how is
it possible for us to experience temporality at all, unless there is some component in us that itself resists this
flow?

Self-organization of matter is a symptom of the feedback of quantum entanglement in time.
Multidimensional temporality is experienced by the quantum uncertainties or by the virtual processes
composing them, and it is within Heisenberg uncertianty that timelike quantum entanglement has the
degree of freedom to act. Philip K. Dick might have speculated that we are all robots persisting in the
fantasy that we are human. In a sense this is the implication of the works of Baudrillard and Lacan, etc.

When listening to intelligible speech one is simultaneously subject and object, meaning that one reacts
simultaneously in two distinct ways, mechanical (and moronically) and insightfully. How are both
responses to speech reconciled on many distinct scales of behavior and action (in the sense of
spatiotemporal scale)? The function of this opposition is best understood through the concept of
discourse - like Campbell's religious images, discourse both limits and facilitates thought and experience.
Institutions and bureaucracies so utterly transcend the subjective rationality of the individual. Institutional
wisdom is both necessary and not necessary to the survival and vitality of a bureaucratic organization, c.f.,
Bohr's remarks about death of the previous generation of physicists being necessary to the "advancement"
of physics. The nature of language as nexus of otherwise irreconcilable contemporaneous speakers/
authors or generations of practitioners must account for the openness of institutionalized knowledge (as all
knowledge must be) to its being endlessly reprocessed without reaching exhaustion of its content, which is
both context-dependent and context-determinative.

All of the subjects of knowledge must be recast as the interpretation of these subjects of knowledge, e.g.,
history = interpretation of history, etc.

The distinction between "real" and "virtual" breaks down at the Planck scale. Spacetime is conjugate to
momentum-energy in QM and so it only makes sense that there should be this intimate connection between
space, time, matter and energy.
Concrete reality as interdimensional nexus. Because of consciousness, reality is necessarily simulation.
When you stop and think about it, interpersonal communication, particularly human speech is a bizarre
process based as it is on what can easily be made to appear a far fetched metaphysics.

Suppose the universe is a black hole (is of critical density so that spacetime is considered flat) that is
undergoing cosmological expansion. The mass of the universe must then increase as you pointed out ( I
suppose this increase is reckoned from infinity). If the density of the zero-point energy inside the hole is
decreasing while in interaction with the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, then during the time that an
energy fluctuation lasts the zero-point has every so slightly decreased and so not all of the energy borrowed
from the vacuum during the lifetime of the fluctuation need be paid back. So here to is a mass generation
mechanism. We now have the basis for a new equation of two time rates of change in mass one
cosmological and the other quantum. So the zero-point energy of the vacuum doesnt possess any inertial
mass until something is done with this energy (within the context of a curved spacetime, expanding or
contracting). This equation may perhaps point to some new physics or at least help reassure us that it is
only difference in vacuum energy density that are gravitational and inertially significant.

How is a series of vacuum fluctuations nonlocally connected fundamentally distinct from a series which is
simultaneous (the components of the series, one to another) only in a unique Lorentz frame? Does causal
connection transcend mere quantum correlation (somewhat contrary to the spirit of David Bohms
observations on the subject, perhaps). . . rather than being merely a subclass thereof in the sense of
exceeding the one-graviton, Planck mass virtual black hole limit?
In other words, can a set of nonlocally-connected quantum fluctuations only successfully model causality up
to but not including the one-graviton limit? The riddle of the would-be gravity and inertia of the quantum
vacuum, i.e., the cosmological constant riddle is intimately bound up with this consideration. Perturbation of
the action of the vacuum state that cannot be treated pertubatively, i.e., as a summation of plane waves
(non-interacting particles) is precisely the point at which spacetime is obliged to curve. Note that particle is
an ill-defined notion in strongly curved spacetimes. Rather than decoherence being an effect of gravitation,
it seems more logical to suppose that gravity is a special case of decoherence processes within the
quantum vacuum.

Because causal relationships are always describable in terms of sets of differential equations, these
relationships must be supposed to inhere within a continuously differentiable manifold of
determinate topological structure. Alterations in the topology of a continuously differentiable
manifold cannot be described by a set of differential equations definable on the original manifold.
This is why we do not expect that the energies of the submicroscopic topological fluctuations may
comprise a contribution to a gravitational source term in the Einstein field equations. A
supermanifold must ground the transformation of one topology into another nonequivalent
topology such that this topological inequivalence is ultimately reducible within the supermanifold
of higher order topological structure which remains constant throughout the lower order
topological transformation. The formalism of General Relativity is not equipped to describe such a
topological supermanifold.
This reminds us of attempts to ground the discontinuous change in the wavefunction which in
between measurements evolves deterministically according to the Schrdinger equation of motion
in terms of some nonlinear time-dependent version of the S-eqn.
Notice that the transformation of one topology into a nonequivalent one necessitates a breaching of
the original topological manifold introducing discontinuities which prevent the existence of any
bridge functions being defined mediating the transformation which possess continuous
differentiability. No consistent solutions to a given set of differential equations exists if the only
possible solutions are functions which are themselves not continuously differentiable. All
topological transformations must be described in terms of bridge functions which cannot be
defined on the manifolds being transformed and so all topological transformations must be
mediated from outside all manifolds of determinate topological structure taking part in the
topological transformations. Since a metric presupposes an embedding topological manifold,
geometrodynamic fluctuations in spacetime topology cannot be described within general relativity
theory. Nor should they collectively contribute to a single vacuum state possessing an inertial mass
equivalence, which we then need to account for in our attempts to solve the cosmological constant
riddle, i.e., non-gravitating quantum vacuum.
Projections of topological transformations in a given space onto a subspace may present the
appearance of non-topological transformations within the smaller space. If a chance event yields
meaning and significance, it is only because of a common, underlying (concrete) ground of the two
things connected. The truly concrete, that is, the ultimate ground of Being, cannot be divided, but
can only appear so. To entertain the notion of two separate grounds, themselves possessing no
underlying and still more ultimate ground connecting them in the sense of making them, one with
the other, (substantially) continuous, is to set up definitions in a manner which invites
self-contradiction. We know that the action by which the continuum of space and time are
constituted presupposes a kind of temporality, but one without scale or direction in which the
connectivity of the pre-phenomenal is internal but at once without boundaries. Just musing a little
here.

given a constant mass of particles in a volume, V with a collective mass, M in which this volume is uniformly
expanding, the density of the volume should decrease with the inverse cube. But if the particles are
themselves energy fluctuations continuously being created and destroyed and recreated and so on. . . ,
then we would expect that the number density of these fluctuations to decrease with the inverse cube as the
wavelengths of the particles stretch in accordance with the changing length scale dictated by the uniform
expansion of the space in which the fluctuations continually occur. These fluctuations collectively are the
vacuum zero-point field, which thusly decreases with the inverse fourth power with uniform expansion of the
volume containing this vacuum energy.
Now if the vacuum energy constitutes the calibration 0 against which the collective mass of massive
particles contained within the expanding volume is to always be reckoned, then the mass density
(something were for the time being assuming is different from the vacuum energy density) should
effectively decrease with the inverse square (just as in the case of an expanding black hole). To wit, the
density of particles decreases with the inverse cube and the vacuum energy against which the mass of the
massive particles is measured decreases with the inverse fourth power.
Intuitively it is easy to see that a very long lived, long wavelength vacuum fluctuation shall be stretched by
the expansion somewhat during the lifetime of the fluctuation and so when its energy is paid back to the
collective vacuum state, not as much energy has to be paid back as was originally borrowed when the
vacuum fluctuations began - in order to satisfy the Heisenberg uncertainty principle and energy
conservation.
Where did the component of energy go that didnt have to be paid back? It went into the creation of
additional mass of the massive particles participating in the overall cosmological expansion. This is how I
reconcile the two types of mass increase so as to show that they are one and the same, just looked at from
opposite ends of the telescope, if you will, quantum versus cosmological. The black hole mass-radius
relationship then may be just the natural outcome, cosmologically of a closed expanding spacetime.
Pushing together a lot of mass through the Pauli Exclusion Principle for fermions and the Pauli Inclusion
Principle for bosons in the extreme case recapitulates this cosmological structure, when the increasing
mass density (as more and more mass is piled together within smaller and smaller volume) causing the
collapsing mass to effect a continual local reduction (within the decreasing volume of the collapsing mass)
in the vacuum energy within the decreasing volume and against which the collapsing mass energy must be
continually recalibrated so that the mass relativistically increases, eventually forming a local (as opposed to
a global black hole).

Subject: Mobius loops and entanglement
Hi Russ,
Now, let's say that we "create" two entangled particles or photons. Must the two particles now
"catch a ride" on two "chain-linked" Mobius loops, each heading off in different "directions?" Or
do the particle potentials occupy the entire "linked" double Mobius loop? That is the only way
I can see "quantum teleportation of state" to another particle across the universe. These linked
Mobius loops would have to be in existence BEFORE the two photons happen to catch a ride on
it in order to explain observed quantum entanglement phenomenon.
This makes sense to me because the creation of local quantum entanglement probably comes
about through tapping preexistent global quantum entanglement such that probability and
quantum entanglement and information is conserved. However, information is not conserved for
quantum entanglement involving superpositions of quantum states that are separated by more
than a Planck mass this would correspond to the superposition of distinct quantum vacua, which
is absolutely ruled out in quantum field theory you can only do this within the very limited
boundary conditions set by the locally prevailing Heisenberg energy uncertainties. But within the
bounds set by quantum uncertainty, I would agree that local quantum entanglement is created by
borrowing from preexistent global quantum entanglement, i.e., quantum entanglement of states of
the same vacuum state, i.e., of quantum entangled vacua with an energy spread smaller than a
Planck mass. In this way, causality is exhaustively described in terms of quantum correlations of
quantum fluctuations (within the self-same vacuum state).
During noncoherent photon production by electron cascade, such as in an ordinary light bulb,
only about 2 in 10^11 photons created by the light bulb are considered entangled with one
another. Are these linked loops then relatively "rare" or must the lucky entangled photon pair
have special properties in order to "catch a ride" on two linked Mobius loops? Maybe it is both
of those possiblities!
The special property is both photons derived from the same vacuum state, i.e., they are
entangled because they are both entangled with the same vacuum state to begin with. I suppose
some kind of dimensionless ratio, say of two different vacuum energy densities (cosmological
constant divided by Planck density in the extreme case!) might come into play in calculating the
probability of two photons - of a given wavelength, separated by a certain spacetime interval
between the two quantum uncertain spacetime points at which created, being 100% quantum
correlated.
Now, I imagine an atom. I can envision the atom as many nested fractal Mobius loops all
interconnecting with one another so that everything in the atom is "self-entangled." Now,
would the Pauli exclusion principle mean that only one loop can be occupied by two electrons
at a time with opposite "spins?" In this case, the spin would just be a result of which of two
directions the respective electrons are moving within the loop.
Yes, that smacks of good common sense/intuition. I buy that idea.
Now, spontaneous fission of the nucleus occurs and must surely cause a "breaking" of about
half of the loops from one another (although fission products of the original nucleus are
thought to remain entangled for a brief period of time). What makes the nucleus unstable? Is
there a "loose end" of a broken Mobius loop flying in the vacuum flux breeze which when
tugged causes the original nucleus to "unravel" into two nuclei?
Distinct topologies cannot be grounded in the very same spacetime. Clearly open and closed
loops possess distinct topology, just as twisted and non-twisted loops possess distinct
topologies. Distinct topologies then cannot be superposed and any superposition of quantum
states that threatens branching into to two or more topologies for the system shall collapse under
its own weight, if you will. This is not an answer, but a consideration in relation to your question.
Benni Reznik has a lot to say about vacuum nonlocality and Lorentz transformations of entanglement. Your
diagram makes sense if, instead of Lorentz transformations, you think in terms of progressively greater
accelerations, from say Hc (Hubbles constant time the speed of light), that is to say, the cosmological
acceleration to the Planck acceleration. Id really like to try the dowsing experiment, by the way. And make
sure and borrow a timepiece tied to an atomic clock signal and establish some kind of synched up
communication link with Dr. DeBrandes when you guys do your entanglement experiment.
There should be an equivalence between the so called one graviton limit, i.e., Planck mass in the
complexity of vacuum fluctuations and the complexity of what can be teleported nonlocally between points
A and B. Since to escape the speed of light restriction on propagation of energy of the specific kind
discussed by Einstein, which is to say energy that possesses inertia, we need a chain of merely correlated
(though causally independent), that is, quantum correlated vacuum fluctuations along the entire trajectory
to support the passage of the energy or information that shall therefore propagate without inertial effect.
Each individual quantum fluctuation nonlocally correlated to its neighbor in the chain forming this trajectory
would therefore be below the one graviton limit or cutoff. This would also serve as a natural limit on the
degree of quantum correlation of one quantum fluctuation of the vacuum and its immediate neighbor within
the trajectory of nonlocally propagating information/energy. The cosmological constant problem being
solved on this view through both current density of quantum correlation and density of quantum coherence
(of each individual quantum fluctuation) being held below this same Planck mass or Penrosian one graviton
limit.
Inertial mass is thus seen as being intimately related to a kind of symmetry breaking of the quantum vacuum
involving fluctuations in this vacuums stress-momentum-energy becoming classically correlated on top of
being maximally quantum correlated (or more generally, where the sum of the densities and current
densities of classical + quantum information exceeding the one graviton limit in the cases of quantum
fluctuation and quantum teleportation, respectively) and so inertial mass is then entirely a function of
classical information and therefore exclusively an artifact of distinctly classical as opposed to distinctly
quantum physics. There is a coincidence between the definition of a classical black hole (in terms of escape
velocity of a body being equal to the speed of light, c.f., LaPlacian black holes) with the definition of a
quantum black hole in the sense of yielding identical Schwarzchild black hole equations. The quantum
black hole must be analyzed in terms of this conservation of entanglement concept of ours. . . say where
quantum entanglement shifts from a mixture of spacelike and timelike to being exclusively spacelike, c.f.,
spin-0 fermion-antifermionic fluctuations vs. spin-1 bosonic fluctuations.

Don't know why I didn't realize this earlier, but a fermion rotated 360 degrees only goes round a
Mobius loop once and has to go around *twice* in order to reach its original orientation. I believe
the Mobius twist is in the four space that the universe is expanding into. Take a strip of paper and
make a Mobius strip by doing a half twist of the ends and taping them together. If a cut out of a
tracing of a hand, say a left hand is slid along the Mobius strip loop one cycle, it comes out mirror
reversed and must be slid around one more cycle on the Mobius strip or loop to come back to its
original orientation in *3 dimensions*, this even thought the cut out and strip are two dimensional.
But the Mobius strip has to be twisted through 3 dimensions to be constructed. So by analogy
(adding a dimension) the rotation of the fermion by 720 degrees is analogous, but one must add
one dimension so that the rotation takes place in four space. So rotating a fermion with a magnetic
field by only 360 degrees must secretly be taking the fermion through a Mobius twist in four
dimensional space. I think in this way the timelike nature of the fermion-antifermion pair can be
proven and such a spin 0 vacuum fluctuation proven to be also purely timelike. My google search
link (above) demonstrates that no one has really remarked about this - as the link produced "0 hits".
Seems so obvious now though, right? So the existence of 4d-spacetime can be seen as proof of a
pure 4d space as well, once quantum statistics of fermions is taken into account. What do you
think? (How your face looks in your driver's license picture, for example wouldn't match with how
you look in a mirror unless you were sent through this same 320 Mobius loop, by the way - hehe!)


There is a camp of molecular biologists who claim that the DNA/RNA/Protein system that
currently exists and even that of the earliest most primitive kind is/was possessed of an
"irreducible complexity", e.g., mousetrap. Like the net of Indra there had to be a kind of
simultaneously arising of the entire system at some critical level of initial complexity. This may
seem to suggest that the complexity of simple coherent biochemical systems must be abstractions
from the top down rather than "concretions" from the bottom up.
July 2011
If the substrate of being
and change is one composed of information rather than say, independently existing particles
(which are indifferent to the irreversible passage of time), then using a bottom-up approach to
explain the evolution of complex systems would appear to be a stubborn oversight.

This is similar to the notion of how the mind of Man descended from the transcendent through
progressive limitation rather than upward from the immanent through a building up from
combinations of the simplest components of matter, C, H, O, N, etc.


There should be some kind of simple trig function of the angle of alignment (such as cosine of a
double angle, etc.) of the virtual electron and positron spins in the virtual Cooper pair that could be
an index of the degree of quantum entanglement or anticorrelation of the two spin-1/2's.

@$
The fact of the orientation of spin of a spin-1/2 particle being dependent upon the observer's
choice of reference frame (in the sense of the choice of magnetic field direction) and indeterminate
otherwise (unless you happen to have some classical information bits from a previous incarnation
of the system that is) is somehow importantly connected with relativity.

We of course must not lose sight of the peculiarity of the antisymmetry of the fermionic
wavefunction when trying to picture the relative spatial orientation (in the sense of relative mutual
rotation of the spin +/- 1/2 of the electron and positron composing the same Cooper pair.) That
is, if we are going to look for some spatial analogue for entanglement of spins, what we have
termed "magnetization entanglement". Remember that you must rotate a fermion 720 degrees to
get back the wavefunction you started with.

A positron is an electron moving backward in time, suppose. So what's the minimum spacetime
rotation for the electron and the positron which gives back the composite spin-0 particle (Cooper
pair) with which one started?

Might the physical remains as mere vacuum field initial and boundary conditions become
entangled with the general boundary conditions of the larger environemnt, while the spectrum of
vacuum fields with which the deceased person's brain once typically resonated and quantum
entanglement must simply continue in the absence of those specific boundary conditions
constituted by the person's quantum microtubule network? We should associate the structures of
consciousness with the particular spectra of vacuum fields, which themselves probably have
always been entangled to some degree with the vacuum at large.

Momentum-energy is conserved and there are quantum numbers for momentum and energy, but
spacetime as the complementary quantity, I suspected has no quantum number, i.e., it's not a
conserved quantity and so, without a quantum of spacetime, we should not expect gravitons (or
gravity waves, for that matter) to exist. Besides, we have spin-1/2 and spin-1, which is all we
need to make particles of spin-0, spin-3/2 and spin-2, etc. There's no need for a fundamental
spin-2 particle. Nature's conservative in that way. Spacetime may turn out to be more than an
elegant and merely convenient metaphor, since the spacetime interval is conserved due to
conservation of momentum energy and the complementary relationship of 3-momentum/space and
time/energy, but acts much like a conserved fluid just as momentum-energy does.

Well, it looks like the relationships of polarization, P, magnetization, M and permittivity and
permeability are just right, if you assume 0 magnetic and electric field strengths for the vacuum,
i.e., <E> and <B> = 0 for vacuum (which seems reasonable) to support the idea of fermionic and
bosonic entanglement being two different forms of a generalized quantum entanglement which is
conserved. Entanglement conservation is probably more fundamental than mere probability
conservation, since the exact quantum mechanical analogue for classical probability is sqrt[Psi x
Psi*] where Psi is pure state wavefunction, while the generalization of this quantity is of course the
density matrix where the phase relations of the components of the density matrix (and their
temporal evolution) represents the distribution of quantum entanglement in the statistically mixed
system.

By Noether's theorem
prn=
there should be an underlying symmetry for quantum entanglement (QE)
as a conserved quantity as well as a quantum number uniquely associated with QE. The
symmetry may turn out to be ordinary spacetime symmetry (but of a deeper kind than that pointed
up by mere momentum-energy vector or, stress-momentum-energy tensor). And of course the
quantum number associated with QE symmetry must be the inverse of von Neumann entropy,
which we'll call von Neumann information (in contrast to classical, digital or "Shannon
information"). "POLARIZATION VECTORS. In the theory of the electromagnetic field: two
vectors, P and M, given by P = D - eE and M = B/u - H, where D is the displacement, E the electric
field strength, B the magnetic induction, H the magnetic field strength, and e and u the permittivity
and permeability respectively in empty space."

I wonder if we can take as a general principle for making up gedanken experiments about possible
analogue (i.e., mechanical) models of gravitation the following:
prn=
See what happens to physical
quantities in the vacuum when transforming to an accelerated reference frame and invoke
Einstein's equivalence principle (both principles, strong and weak, inertial mass = gravitational
mass and gravitation equivalent to acceleration) in order to propose just these types of changes to
these vacuum physical quantities as the underlying mechanism for sustaining a gravitational field.

Is the change in configuration energy of the vacuum fields that must adjust in some way when a
particle, such as a proton or muon is removed from the region of the vacuum? This is like
thinking of the particle's inertial mass in terms of the mass equivalence of the particle's vacuum
enthalpy.

Kind of like calculating the 1st order propagator/state of a particle as a 1st order manifestation of
the underlying vacuum field, by summing up all the 2nd order and all higher order corrections to
the propagator?

I kind of imagine the atoms composing any bit of matter, any mass as dynamically grouping
themselves into composite bosons and fermions through a continual mutual exchange of quantum
entanglement between these virtual "cells" and "domains" formed of arbitrary groupings of
entangled atoms that are continually reconstituting themselves so as to maintain a kind of
entanglement equilibrium, i.e., continual avoidance of squeezed states while maintaining overall
conservation of entanglement throughout the bulk of the mass. However, upon acceleration,
squeezed states form but in accordance with a kind of action or minimization principle that
maintains a shifted thermodynamic equilibrium within the mass, i.e., some entropy is inevitably
produced by acceleration. (Reversibility of time-independent Schrodinger equation deterministic
evolution, foreseeable by the cosmic quantum vacuum CPU must break down, necessitating
decoherence processes) And the net bulk entanglement within the mass shifts from spin-0 to
spin-1 through a shift in the distribution of entanglement, mimicking what would be expected for a
vacuum with equivalent gravitational potential (in terms of equivalent acceleration). A Rindler
horizon (as a generalization of an event horizon) forms and Davies-Unruh radiation is observed
that is consistent with the entropy of the newly formed Rindler horizon . . . whew! Of course, the
permeability and permittivity within the bulk matter also transform so that the speed of light within
the mass changes to reflect the new vacuum that the mass sees (i.e., for example, polarization and
magnetization of the quantum vacuum electromagnetic field) while under acceleration, and so
on. . .

I've been looking at this idea of the vacuum not gravitating. Force may be characterized as either
time rate of change in 3-momentum or as space rate of change in energy (timelike 4-momentum, if
your will). Notice that when a photon either falls into a gravitational potential or "climbs out" of
one that the ratios, /\p//\t and /\E//\x are constant, implying that the vacuum exerts no force on the
infalling or escaping photon.

Notice also that the photon's 4-momentum is unchanged though climbing out of a potential and
reshifting in the process. This is because the increase in the local velocity of light (i.e.,
acceleration of the photon) as the photon reaches regions of decreased potential (as the photon
climbs out) is exactly offset by the decrease in the photon's frequency - these act in opposing
senses so that the photon's 4-momentum is conserved.

I've also been thinking that the notion of Heisenberg uncertainty should be related more directly to
the idea of relative decoherence of the timelike, spin-0 (virtual Cooper pair creation-annihilation)
and spacelike, spin-1 (virtual boson exchanges within 3-space) components of the fluctuating
quantum vacuum in a changing gravitational potential. I think that an increased /\p (uncertainty
in 3-momentum) governing the decreased density of creation-annihilation of virtual Cooper pairs
within a strong gravitational potential could be interpreted as an increased internal decoherence of
the Cooper pairs' wavefunction (or density matrix) and the decreased /\E (uncertainty in imaginary
4-momentum) governing the increased density of virtual boson exchanges in this strong potential
could be interpreted as a decreased, i.e., increased coherence, hence entanglement of these virtual
bosons. This seems elegant and invites more systematic thought about H-uncertainty and its
relation to decoherence and entanglement in a gravitational potential relative to free space
spacetime.

April 2011
Decreased energy uncertainty allows less room for entanglement of virtual
fermion-antifermion pairs. Similarly, increased momentum uncertainty allows for greater mutual
quantum entanglement of virtual bosons.

Question: if an electron and a positron mutually annihilate, the pair of photons produced will have
perfect correlation of their polarizations, provided that the spins of the electron and positron were
perfectly entangled so as to be anti-parallel. If the entanglement of the + or _ 1/2 spin of the
electron and positron is 0, then the polarizations of the photons produced in the mutual annihilation
shall be completely decohered, correct? If I'm right, then wouldn't this support the idea of there
being a close relationship between entanglement of virtual Cooper pairs and virtual photons in a
gravitational field, at least in essence, you know, in terms of the whole conservation of
entanglement concept as applied to bosonic and fermionic vacuum fluctuations of
momentum-energy, c.f., http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron-positron_annihilation




A dielectric medium has a reduced velocity of light because of the continual absorption and
reemission of the photons as the photon passes through the medium. The decreased velocity of
light in a vacuum where a strong gravitational field is present might be understood in a similar
manner the electron-positron creation-annihilations are of lower density in a gravitational field
and so a photon must compensate by possessing a greater momentum uncertainty to bridge the gap
created by the reduced energy uncertainty of this gravitational potential infused vacuum.

warfighter technology.

Can you grant that the ratio of the Heisenberg energy uncertainty to the Heisenberg momentum
uncertainty, /\E//\p ~ c? How about that /\p and /\E together form a 4-vector of
momentum-energy uncertainty, which is Lorentz-invariant? (Note: we would expect in a
non-symmetric gravitational field for there to be a stress-momentum-energy uncertainty tensor,
nicht wahr?)

Can you grant that the exchange of virtual photons between two electrons constitutes a fluctuation
in the vacuums 3-momentum? It is also a fluctuation in the vacuums energy, but not of its
3-momentum? In this sense, the collective spin-0 fluctuations in the vacuums
momentum-energy are orthogonal to the spin-1 (3-vector) fluctuations in vacuum
momentum-energy.

But this orthogonality of spin-0 and spin-1 vacuum momentum-energy fluctuations only obtains
for the case of the so-called free space vacuum and constitutes a kind of quantum statistical basis
for spacetime symmetry.

By the way, since /\Q = E[<Q
2
> - <Q>
2
] with the first term under the radical being the fluctuation
term and the second the square of the expectation value of Q, it follows that in the absence of
matter, i.e., in vacuum, the Heisenberg uncertainty in Q, /\Q is identical to the fluctuation in Q.

Now lets ask what happens to the ratio, /\E//\p when viewed from an accelerated reference frame.

/\t dilates and /\x (in the direction of motion) contracts. Given that /\E/\p = h and /\p/\x = h, it
follows that from the perspective of an accelerated reference frame,

/\E contracts
and /\p dilates (gets larger)

The hypothesis here is that /\E and /\p mutually change when viewed from an accelerated frame of
reference so as to represent a spacetime rotation of /\E and /\p as components of a conserved
4-vector.

Now if /\E relativistically shrinks (remember in vacuum /\E is the fluctuation in the vacuums
energy) and the incompatible observable (parameter), /\t dilates, then this can be represented
consistently, I believe as a density of creation-annihilations for virtual Cooper pairs being reduced
and therefore the frequencies of temporal processes, which fundamentally depend upon
Heisenberg energy uncertainty must take place at a slower rate. Since /\E relativistically shrinks,
by what has already been said, /\p the fluctuation in the vacuums 3-momentum, must increase and
the density of virtual boson exchanges taking place within matter contained within this
transformed vacuum must therefore increase as well, leading to an increase in the binding energy
density of the mass, which is associated relativistically with an increase in mass.

The reason I identify /\E with timelike fluctuations is because /\t is an incompatible Heisenberg
uncertainty relative to /\E. And I interpret spin-0 (scalar) to be a timelike oriented vector, i.e.,
its really spin-1 though oriented parallel to the local time axis. I interpret spin-1 (3-vector) to be
a spacelike vector, its really spin-0, but oriented parallel to a spatial direction.

Therefore, the transformation of space and time, contraction and dilation, which occurs when
moving to an accelerated frame is paralleled by a transformation of 3-momentum and energy
(conceived of as timelike oriented momentum or imaginary momentum because of the
Minkowski (+,+,+,-) signature of spacetime). The transformation is otherwise known as a
Lorentz boost. Magnetic and electric fields mutually transform, magnetization and polarization
transform and the Heisenberg uncertainties in p and E, /\p and /\E transform after the fashion of a
spacetime rotation of 4-momentum (4-momentum uncertainty in this case).

The bulk properties of matter such as magnetization and polarization are entanglement driven and
so the transformation of entanglement caused by acceleration should cause a transformation of the
magnetic permeability and electric permittivity of the quantum vacuum through transforming the
equilibrium magnetization and polarization of the free space vacuum. This is suggested by
reviewing the basic formulas for polarization and magnetization,

P = D - cE; M = B H/O


Notice that an increasing polarization, P and a decreasing magnetization, M, which is to be
understood as a spacetime rotation (in accordance with the relativistic formulation of Maxwells
Equations). The question arises whether the expectation values of D and B, <D> and <B> in
free space vacuum are indeed 0.



The basis for the thermal temperature distribution for Davies-Unruh radiation is the increased
density of virtual boson exchange taking place between the bubbling virtual cooper pairs. Is the
source of the entropy associated with the Unruh temperature the increased disorder of the
previously (almost) perfectly antiparallel electron-positrons of each virtual cooper pair? In
perfectly flat spacetime, there would be no self-Pauli blocking and no virtual boson exchanges and
no initial and boundary conditions eternal universe of infinite size.

The limit on the size, i.e., mass of quantum fluctuations of the vacuum should determine the
limit on mass of quantum states that can be superposed. Vacuum boundary conditions, which
produce compound fluctuations, which cannot occur in the free space vacuum as simple
fluctuations may now be understood to be fluctuation structures in the vacuum and not simply
of the vacuum. It is at this stage in complexity where the system must be supposed to possess
some independent information content.
April 2011
Information is a quantity relative to the state of
knowledge of the quantum vacuum understood as primary nexus of information processes. The
information content of a system of correlated vacuum energy fluctuations is related to the induced
lag in cosmic time necessarily involved in the systems updating of its own state, as well as the
vacuums updating of its image of the state of this fluctuation-correlation structure, c.f.,
fluctuation-dissipation theorem and entanglement decay.

Can an event occur for two or more unrelated reasons similar to degeneracy in quantum
mechanics?

The imagination prompts us to form conceptions of things we could have conceived despite not
possessing the words, however not in order to describe, but to trigger the network of otherwise
consciously inaccessible associations changes in consciousness necessarily go along with this
polymath of metaphor generation that is largely unconscious.

Magnetization of virtual Cooper pairs may be considered internal entanglement. External
entanglement of virtual pairs may be described in terms of polarization of the virtual photons of the
quantum vacuum.

There is a fundamental difference between command and execution that is not sufficiently
understood by proponents of hard AI (artificial intelligence).

If you count the number of Planck areas that fit on the surface of a black hole or radius, R and
apply Boltzmanns formula for entropy, considering each of these Planck areas to constitute a
single bit of information, then can you get the correct value for the Hawking temperature of the
hole in this way?

I tend to think that all of the black holes information is contained on its surface, where the timelike
collective spin-0 imaginary momentum fluctuations (in the form of creation-annihilation of
Cooper pairs) has been completely transformed into spacelike 3-momentum fluctuations in the
form of virtual photons promoted to being real photons radiated from the holes shrinking surface
as black body radiation. Each photon emitted from the hole is purely thermal because
representing the mutual annihilation of positron-electron pairs whose mutual spin-1/2 orientations
have become totally disentangled. Although the electromagnetic spectrum of the holes
emission is that of a black body, i.e., perfectly thermal, all of the entanglement information lost
from the total decoherence of the virtual electron-positron pairs created and annihilated at the
holes event horizon is retained in the polarization entanglement of the photons emitted from the
holes event horizon. (This is our idea of quantum entanglement in the vacuum being a conserved
quantity, related via Noethers theorem to some symmetry I insist this symmetry is quantum
statistical in nature and is closely connected with spacetime symmetry itself. This is consistent
with maximal red-shifting of the black holes thermal photon emissions (Hawking radiation) as
viewed at infinity (where the holes potential = 0) and also consistent with a photon falling into the
hole from infinity being infinitely blue-shifted. All of the entanglement of in-falling photons
with the progressively more entangled virtual photons of the vacuum e/m fluctuations that lie ever
closer to the holes event horizon in the sense of DeBroglie wave contraction with progressive
virtual photon entanglement in the vacuum progressively closer to the holes event horizon.

Well look at the surface of a black hole as the extreme case where decoherence, entropy and time
dilation all occur together. When a virtual Cooper pair is spontaneously created just this side of
the event horizon, one component of the pair, lets say in this case a positron, falls into the hole and
its partner, the leftover electron, must mutually annihilate with another positron from an altogether
different virtual Cooper pair that is also spontaneously created locally (relative to the un-partnered
electron) and just this side of the event horizon this represents 100% decoherence of the original
Cooper pair in the sense of all entanglement information seemingly having been lost with the
partner fermion that fell into the black hole.

The entanglement information is really conserved and comes out of the mutual annihilation of the
leftover partner virtual electron with the new virtual positron that was created as part of the newly
created virtual Cooper pair. If spin-0 in free space spacetime is understood as timelike spin-1,
then this same spin-0 particle becomes spacelike spin-1 very near the surface of the black hole.
This is because space and time axes actually swap with one another between infinity (free space)
and the surface of the black hole.

That magnetization entanglement gets encoded in the form of the photon-antiphoton pair that
results from this new pairs annihilation. The photon-antiphoton pair is 100% Bose condensed
and is therefore really a single photon, which is also entangled with all of the virtual photons
presently (within /\t, which is virtually infinite at the event horizon, c.f., holographic principle)
radiated from the black holes surface (event horizon). I believe this because I believe that there
is maximal virtual photon Bose condensation at the black holes surface.

As the two photons (now condensed into a single photon) radiate thermally from the holes surface
in the form of Hawking radiation, this polarization entanglement (of all the photons radiated from
the holes surface along with our particular condensed photon around which our discussion is
centered) will eventually be returned to the vacuum as progressive magnetization entanglement of
virtual electron-positron pairs along the photons trajectory from the holes surface to infinity.
There will be a 90
o
spacetime rotation in the photon traveling from the holes event horizon to
infinity. The spin-1 photon becomes spin-0 at infinity and is once again a virtual Cooper pair
being successively created and annihilated.

Also at infinity all of the polarization entanglement of the propagating Hawking radiation photons
has been lost back to the vacuum in the form of a trail of enhanced vacuum magnetization
entanglement of the virtual Cooper pairs that composed the trajectory of the photons in the form of
2
nd
order propagators for the escaping photons. Note that in moving from the surface of a black
hole to infinity, the light cone tips back from its time axis oriented towards the holes center to
being oriented away from the holes center. This represents a rotation of 180 degrees in space,
but is in fact only a mutual rotation of the light cones space and time axes of 90 degrees! The
oscillating electric and magnetic fields which compose a photon are 90 degrees out of phase with
one another.

Ive often thought that the fact that you have to rotate a fermion by 720
o
to get the original fermion
wavefunction back is connected with the fact that there is a 360
o
spacetime rotation of the photons
spin in taking the photon from infinity to the surface of a black hole and back again.

That magnetization entanglement gets encoded in the form of the photon-antiphoton pair that
results from this new pairs annihilation. The photon-antiphoton pair is 100% Bose condensed
and is therefore really a single photon, which is also entangled with all of the virtual photons being
at that moment radiated from the black holes surface (event horizon). I believe this because I
believe that there is a maximal virtual photon Bose condensation at the black holes surface.

As the two photons (now condensed into a single photon) radiate thermally from the holes surface
in the form of Hawking radiation, this polarization entanglement (of all the photons radiated from
the holes surface along with our particular condensed photon around which our discussion is
centered) will eventually be returned to the vacuum as progressive magnetization entanglement of
virtual electron-positron pairs along the photons trajectory from the holes surface to infinity.
There will be a 90 degree spacetime rotation in the photon traveling from the holes event horizon
to infinity (free space spacetime, or vacuum). The spin-1 photon becomes spin-0 at infinity
and is once again a virtual Cooper pair being successively created and annihilated.

Ive often thought that the fact that you have to rotate a fermion 720 degrees to get the original
fermion wavefunction back is connected with the fact that there is a 360 degree spacetime rotation

again?



By examining kinematic effects upon Heisenberg uncertainties and quantum entanglement of
Lorentz transformations, i.e., special relativity, we can via application of Einsteins equivalence
principle make perhaps less than misguided guesses at the fluctuation-correlation structure of the
gravitating quantum vacuum. We should measure the relative decoherence of the e
+
e
-
, i.e.,
spin-0 and --, i.e., spin-1 components of the vacuum in terms of the relative magnitude of /\E
and /\p. In a gravitational potential an infalling or escaping photon feels no force because
both ratios, /\E//\x and /\p//\t are unchanging along the photons trajectory. The ratios, /\E//\p
and /\x/\t do however change in opposite sense.

In other words, the changing local velocity of light increases as the photon climbs up the
gravitational potential at the same time as the length in the direction of the photons propagation
expands which the photons frequency (as opposed to period) dilates. The photon accelerates as
its frequency decreases. In this manner is the photons 4-momentum conserved though
propagating through a change in gravitational potential. To relate relative decoherence to spin-0
and spin-1 vacuum fluctuations, we must examine the /\E of 3-momentum fluctuations vs. the /\p
of energy fluctuations, i.e., timelike p-uncertainty of spacelike momentum fluctuations and
spacelike p-uncertainty of timelike momentum fluctuations.

Instead of spin and angular momentum, J = L + S, lets look at the underlying phase space within
which J is interpreted as a 1-form and relate spacetime curvature to curvature of phase space.
What about the relationship of N-dimensional configuration space to phase space which is in turn
related to entanglement distribution and squeezed states, say of an extended coupled harmonic
oscillator/crystal? Look at helicity of annihilating e

Barry Setterfield proposes that the ZPE, zero-point energy of the vacuum is the residual energy
from the Big Bang, inflation, etc. If there is some dynamic energetic process distributed
throughout the cosmos, which is decaying or otherwise changing with time, and this process
affects the manner of lights propagation, then we are likely to incorrectly estimate the variables
entering into the equation describing this process if indeed we depend on information about the
nature of light that is our only observational indicator of how this process is unfolding.

Davies-Unruh temperature is 0 for inertially in-falling particles such as photons. One kind of

collective spin-0 Cooper pairs (100% quantum anti-correlated spins)?

Hyperentanglement the superposition of all superpositions the context of all possible

Classical information is a subset of quantum information. So when I receive information from
someone and my brain processes the sensory data carrying this information, my brain as a quantum
computer simply changes its state of quantum entanglement with the quantum vacuum field with
which its neural microtubules are in continual interaction. In this way, it is realized that I havent
actually received any information from the other person at all. Ive just received a set of
instructions for downloading, if you will the appropriate nonlocally encoded signals that we might
suppose were already there in the vacuum for perhaps a very long time and the circuits of my
microtubule network have only just now been returned so as to receive them. The question
arises as to whether the signals had to be originally put there by anybody (maybe by the person
from whom I received the communication).

Abstract. Quantum entanglement is
shown to be the only acceptable physical solution to the binding problem. The biological basis of
interneuronal entanglement is described in the frames of the -neurexin-neuroligin model
developed by Georgiev (2002) and is proposed novel mechanism for control of the neurons that are
temporarily entangled to produce every single conscious moment experienced as present, c.f.,

Viewing a dielectric slab from the standpoint of an accelerated reference frame, not only the
polarization and magnetization of the slab, but also the electric permittivity and magnetic
permeability transform. Polarization and magnetization quantum entanglement of
spontaneously created and annihilated virtual photons and virtual fermion-antifermion pairs also
undergo a continuum of Lorentz transformations.

At the event horizon of the black hole, an 100% swap has occurred of quantum entanglement of
spin-1/2 composite of virtual composite spin-0 Cooper pairs (what might be termed magnetization
entanglement) into the 100% polarization entanglement of virtual photons (photon pairs?).

Rotating Clock Puzzle when an apparent paradox stems from logic that is not thorough-going

Turn the clock 90

clockwise and it now reads 9:30, then turn the clock clockwise another 90

and the clock reads 12:45. Turning the clock another 90
o
clockwise and the clock reads 3:00.
Turn it once more and the clock once again reads 6:15. This gives us a total of 13 hours.
This is the paradox, which is easily enough solved when you realize that the hour hand is
accumulating a retardation in its clockwise progression around the clock face of 15 minutes per
turn.

Can an idea which has no author, e.g., is stumbled upon by many independently of one another be
a valuable spiritual teaching? When the density of virtual Cooper pairs is produced and (to
conserved entanglement the density of virtual bosons is relatively enhanced we have a case in
which a smaller density of changes in energy in controlling a larger density of changes in
3-momentum responsible for binding forces accounting for matters rigidity and inertia). Except
for masses approaching black hole density, most of the 4-momentum of the mass remains
imaginary and timelike. Time dilation and relativistic mass can be seen to be intimately related
in terms of this cellular automata (CA) analogue model for GR. Should this CA model best be
simulated on a classical or quantum computer?

Self-Pauli blocking of spontaneously created and annihilated virtual Cooper pairs (partially
decohered in the sense of impaired magnetization entanglement) within the fluctuating quantum
vacuum constitutes perhaps the suppression of timelike quantum correlations of otherwise pure
imaginary 4-momentum fluctuations. In this way quantum entanglement of timelike fluctuations
in vacuum momentum-energy is transferred to quantum entanglement of spacelike fluctuations in
vacuum momentum-energy. By the way, the speed of light would be infinite in the case of 100%
magnetization entanglement of the spontaneously created/annihilated virtual Cooper pairs.
Magnetic permeability and permittivity represent the bulk electromagnetic properties of the
quantum vacuum that are owing to the relative polarization and magnetization entanglement of
virtual bosons and virtual Cooper pairs continually and spontaneously created within the vacuum

If the photon spends part of its time as an electron-positron pair, then we might suppose that the
wavefunction describing such electron-positron pairs is identical with the vector potential of the
propagating photon. As the photon falls into a gravitational potential it is entering a vacuum
of progressively greater density of 3-momentum fluctuations, i.e., virtual photons with which
therefore the photon increasingly interacts, meaning also progressive decoherence of the
wavefunction of the photon or of its vector potential A
u
. This decoherence is manifest as
increased entanglement of the falling photon with the succession of virtual photons along the
photons trajectory. There is an associated increased mutual disentanglement of the virtual
electron-positron pairs (that is, of each virtual pairs component electron and positron parts) along
the photons trajectory (and which constitute the timelike component of the photons propagator.)
This may be alternately seen as the photon encountering, as it falls within the gravitational
potential, a quantum vacuum that is progressively more polarized and less magnetized. This
leads us to believe that the photon falling into the gravitational potential also enters a vacuum of
progressively decohered virtual Cooper-paired electron-positrons. Note that the more decohered
are the virtual Cooper pairs (in the sense of loss of mutual quantum correlation of the pairs
component electron and positron parts), the less do the virtual electron and positron components of
the Cooper pair exist as pure collective spin-0 (the spins of the electrons and positrons belonging to
the same Cooper pair are no longer precisely anti-parallel or 100% quantum anti-correlated) and so
there should be an enhanced self-Pauli blocking of virtual fermions/anti-fermions continuously
being created and annihilated (and recreated and re-annihilated) by the quantum vacuum (at each
spacetime point along the photons trajectory), that is, relative to the case of the free space vacuum.
The increased mutual entanglement of the virtual photons along the path of the in-falling photons
trajectory, which accounts for the gravitational blueshift of the in-falling photon through the
change in DeBroglie wavelength of the entangled virtual photons, by the way may be understood
as Bose condensation. Increased Bose condensation of (spin-1) virtual photons in conjunction
with increased Pauli blocking of (spin-0) virtual Cooper pairs goes hand in hand with a shift in the
density of the vacuums momentum-energy fluctuations from less timelike, imaginary momentum
fluctuations toward more spacelike 3-momentum fluctuations. You can also look at this shift in
momentum-energy components of the vacuums momentum-energy fluctuation matrix along the
path of increasing gravitational potential as the photon experiencing a vacuum of increasing
polarization and decreasing magnetization. Hmmmm. . .

Hypotheses of my theory, which are not established by prior art:

Imaginary momentum fluctuations are collective spin-0 100% quantum anti-correlated virtual spin
+/- fermions. In free space these imaginary momentum fluctuations constitute the vacuums
energy density (as opposed to its pressure) such that /\E
vac
2
- /\p
x
2
- /\p
y
2
- /\p
z
2
= /\p
imaginary
2
.
When /\E > /\E, then /\E//\p < /\E//\p such that c < c
vacuo
means in terms of the quantum noise in
photonics model that less imaginary momentum fluctuations control more real or 3-momentum
fluctuations. A reduced speed of light locally means that, locally virtual bosons are becoming
more highly correlated and imaginary momentum fluctuations, less correlated. Photon
trajectories in a gravitational field represent a conserved quantum entanglement and hence, a
conserved Heisenberg uncertainty.

Maybe there is a quantum information treatment of the old LeSage analogue theory of gravity,
which can explain the effect of bulk matter upon the vacuum in terms of disrupting the quantum
entanglement of the spin +/- components of virtual Cooper pairs, e.g., electrons, muons,
neutrinos, etc. If the quantum correlation of say virtual e
-
e
+
s within a given small volume of
quantum vacuum is essentially nonlocal though at the same time this nonlocal quantum correlation
were locally mediated, then we might expect some sort of inverse-square law of the distribution of
these correlations in terms of the local distribution of matter. What should we expect to happen
to the density matrix describing a real Cooper pair, which falls into a say neutron stars
gravitational potential? It is the belief here that what happens to this density matrix over time, as
the pair falls toward the neutron star is just a reflection of changes that a comoving observer would
observe for the density matrix describing virtual Cooper pair creation-annihilation along the
trajectory of the falling real Cooper pair. In other words, gravity does not alter the QM statistics
of vacuum fluctuations, but rather matter does this, and the altered QM vacuum statistics is what
itself constitutes the gravitational field.

Tom Van Flandern notes the following in his
web=

http://www.metaresearch.org/cosmology/speed_of_gravity.asp that The rubber sheet analogy is
represented as a way of visualizing why bodies attract one another. However, in that regard, it is
highly defective. A target body sitting on the side of an indentation would stay in place, with no
tendency to roll downhill, unless there were already a force such as gravity underneath the rubber
sheet pulling everything downhill. And this failure of the analogy helps us identify the precise
problem with the curved space-time description of gravity the lack of causality. Without
consideration of why a target body is induced to accelerate through space, and how quickly it
receives updates of information about how to accelerate through space, neither the space-time
curvature explanation nor the rubber sheet analogy can help us understand why gravity appears to
act so much faster than light.

If causality is a subset of correlation, just a particular structure of vacuum fluctuations and their
quantum correlations/entanglement, then perhaps the transmission of all Shannon (classical)
information is secretly encoded as Von Neumann (quantum) information in the form of quantum
correlations, both timelike and spacelike.

One who appears mad if acting alone almost assuredly is mad. But the seeming mad fellow may
indeed be acting thus in concert with others and in support of some group purpose so that
appearances can be deceiving.



If quantum entanglement is viewed as the lines of quantum communication/information flow
(governing the spacelike and timelike quantum correlation of vacuum fluctuations in vacuum
momentum-energy) when viewing matter + vacuum as a quantum computing simulation, then for
example, time dilation due to gravity may be understood in terms of decrease in quantum
entanglement in time with associated increase in quantum entanglement in 3-space such that
entanglement in (3 + 1) spacetime is a conserved quantity, c.f.,

So this then is
the Litmus test of the reality of the Universe in contradistinction to its being merely a
manifestation of, e.g., an ancestor simulation, namely that some its physical processes are

though they underly a causal connection/connectivity where no causal relationship can be sussed
from the observable phenomena might suggest the opposite case of our world in fact being an
ancestor simulation.

The component of quantum entanglement that is ineradicable, i.e., that component that does not
vanish even under infinite accelerations, must be fundamentally different than the much larger
component of entanglement that degrades under uniform accelerations. This ineradicable
component of quantum entanglement is probably that which never enters into intersubjective
processes, but is responsible for the binding of mental contents and of the integrity of the
individual consciousness in general. It is also that component which can never be analyzed in
terms of causal relations such that the class of fluctuations and correlations that were created at the
Big Bang is necessarily larger than that class of fluctuations and correlations that became
nonlocally connected at this beginning point. Each individual consciousness is grounded in its
own spectrum of nonlocally connected vacuum fluctuations. But there are fundamentally two
distinct types of quantum correlated vacuum fluctuations, those which provide the ground of
subjectivity, i.e., consciousness and those that provide the underlying ground of causal relations or
potential causal relations. It is in the realm of potential causal relations where we have this
interdomain of the two types of nonlocally correlated fluctuations.

Paradoxically, it is the fact of the Heisenberg uncertainty principles being an ontological rather
than an epistemological principle, which grants quantum systems their ontological observer
independence.

In the case of inertial motion there is a symmetry that implies that creation annihilation are
balanced. Here causal relations are based in coherent quantum correlations of vacuum
fluctuations. In the case of non-inertial motion, there is some decoherence of quantum
correlations (phase relations) of vacuum (fermionic) fluctuations.

We may follow Parmenides and imagine that all change is the result of unsuccessful attempts by
mind to grasp the being of indeterminate (or infinite, Apeiron), c.f., approximation errors as
fluctuations, c.f., perturbation theory. When considering the validity or soundness of an idea
always remember to treat the idea as if it had not originated with oneself. In this way one can
limit the bewitchment factor. Bohms analysis of causation in terms of fluctuations and their
correlations implies the Lorenz invariance of the quantum vacuum as well as the constancy, which
is to say in this context the observer independence of the velocity of light. His analysis may also
imply an asynchronous cellular automata model of the vacuum.

According to the Southern Baptist doctrine of election, man is not capable of choosing God for the
right reasons he can only choose God for the pleasures of heaven and/or in order to escape the
agonies of hell. In the vein of modern psychology, this is to say that mans choice of God is
structured as mere stimulus-response born of a mechanical or instinctive animal program of
minimizing pain and maximizing pleasure. Man cannot choose God for moral reasons. This
leaves open the question of whether Man can reject God for moral reasons, that is, for reasons of
conscience? The validity of the Bible as a message from the transcendent and wholly other as
not stemming from Man himself is vouchsafed by the doctrine of election. That is, if Man
lacks the moral sense and capacity to choose God, then the message of the Bible could have hardly
been crafted by humankind. If Man does possess this moral sense, then whence does it
originate?

Reflections on Vernor Vinges and Ray Kurzweils notions of singularity as threshold where AI
exceeds the grasp of HI (human intelligence) in relation to a fundamental characteristic of
consciousness. One of the demarcators of conscious vs. unconscious is just this emergence of
positive feedback of intelligence upon itself in terms of the boundary conditions to the
consciousness altered by this field in the direction of at the level of the individual. The point at
which AI outstrips HI is the emergence of this positive feedback (between intelligence and the
conditions for intelligence) in Vinges singularity, i.e., this emergence at the level of the
collective.
February 2013
There is a new term in the lexicon of AI known as Artificial General
Intelligence or AGI. It is likely that there is a contradiction at the heart of this new concept in
terms of its inconsistency with respect to Goedels incompletenes theorems, the radically
open-ended and creative nature of biological evolution (group rather than individual selection) and
the notable absence of a concept of consciousness (in terms of general property attribution as the
basis of abstract category construction). Platonist mathematics, perhaps further motivated by
Goedel Incompleteness suggests that there may indeed be a concept of consciousness but not by
construction. A concept of consciousness may be an inborn feature of being so to speak wherein
the various instances of consciousness automatically and concretely self-identify as instantiations
of the concept. This is consistent with the notion that consciousness as inherently subjective,
cannot be intersubjectively defined (note the contradiction in terms of defining the infra-subjective
in terms of the inter-subjective).

(related to the dj vu experience)
choice in how consciousness abstracts from its own dynamic substance. As in all abstraction,
subtler linkages of dynamic control (linking existent abstract entities to their
engendering/supporting ground) are disrupted, and yet we are supposed to accept the possibility of
not to mention formal/relational boundedness) being reconstituted by its own artifacts complete
with those artifacts collection of less subtle interactions this is what lies at the heart of the notion
of our one day engineering a conscious AI. The emergence of consciousness within slowly
evolving primate brains must then be considered the . . .

Dj vu happens when they change something in the Matrix there may indeed be a kernel of
insight here that goes beyond the classical explanation of the mis-filing of a short term memory
into long term memory where this memory must possess no cross-referencing with other
memories filed in short term memory with the same or similar time stamp. Paranoia and
quantum solipsism (quantum immortality) as the individuals subjective consciousness moves
from one parallel universe to the next the discontinuities in his memory find no support in
discontinuities of intersubjective memory (see analogy of military/corporate brat who was
forced while growing up to move frequently from one neighborhood and school system to the
next) (How ones biography conditions ones contributions to philosophy, c.f., biography of

^^Essay idea: The Lesson of the Wavefunction

The individual particle behaves just like the statistical ensemble. Real particles sufficiently
isolated behave as though virtual until placed under continual observation.

The vacuum becomes progressively more electrically polarized and less magnetized, but can this
be understood in terms of increases in both the magnetic permeability and electric permittivity and
not due to specific electromagnetic action but as a side effect of changing the timelike and
spacelike components of quantum correlations in bosonic and fermionic quantum fluctuations?

If experimentally measured particle masses are due to the energies of these particles as excitations
of the vacuum Hamiltonian, then particle mass defined in this manner may only be consistent with
the inertial mass of the particle (as reluctance of the vacuum Hamiltonian to become progressively
excited along a spacetime trajectory) if the unperturbed vacuum possessing spacetime symmetry
be composed of bosonic and fermionic fluctuations which together cancel out to some vanishingly
small value for a cosmological constant representing the local effect upon the vacuum of global
gravitation. What follows is a reprint from elsewhere in this document: Ziad, I thought that on
a Friday, I'd give you something to puzzle over.

OK, you begin accelerating in a spaceship along the x-direction. Question: does this affect the
velocity of the ship along the y- or z-directions? Well, normally in a "vacuum" the answer is
"no." However, imagine for a moment that the spaceship is accelerating through what we might
term here an "active medium", say a medium able to induce drag where the amount of drag is
governed by a kind of stress-strain-shear medium resistance tensor. And how the medium is
interconnected between x- with y- and z-directions would determine the resistance put up by the
medium as a result of a body's acceleration through the medium along the x-direction.

Well, think about how as an object accelerates, it travels ever slower through time, the faster it
moves through space. Space and time in so-called "free space" are mutually perpendicular so how
can accelerating along the x-direction in space cause a deceleration along the ict-direction?

(Just think about how the range of a projectile can be calculated without explicit reference to the
acceleration of gravity which is always perpendicular to the forward momentum of the projectile
down range. )

Unless "free space" isn't "free" at all, but is part of an intrinsically "warped" spacetime. This is a
Machian idea of course that in genuinely free space, i.e., within a truly "flat" 4-dimensional
spacetime, objects should not be expected to present any resistance to our attempt to accelerate
them! The Machian idea is basically this: inertia in "free space" (flat spacetime) is a
manifestation of the interaction of bodies interaction with the gravitational field of the
Universe. There has to be some kind of tensor field (of at least 2
nd
rank), which connects the
3-momentum and imaginary 4-momentum fluctuations of the vacuum in order to connect the
orthogonal space and time axes to enable changes in imaginary 4-momentum in response to
changes in 3-momentum. In this way increases in relativistic mass and time dilation are seen to
be opposite sides of the same physical process underlying the reaction of spacetime or its
vacuum to accelerations, i.e., increase in /\p in conjunction with decrease in /\E such that the
density of vector boson exchanges (mediating binding energy and hence mass) increases, while the
density of scalar boson (virtual Cooper pair) creation-annihilations decrease (mediating changes in
energy and hence time).

In light of developments in induced gravity theory it might be more appropriate to think of
Machian gravitation as caused by the mass interaction with the quantum vacuum so as to produce
a gravitational field when the mass is in inertial motion and an inertial field when the mass is in
noninertial motion.

Of course, if local gravitational fields are present, then the body must also interact with this local
field in addition to the Universe's g-field and hence the effective inertial mass of the body would be
expected to be larger for a mass present near a massive body (and general relativity can predict just
how large this effect is).

Otherwise, I just can't see how acceleration along "x" can affect motion along "ict" without such an
intrinsic coupling of time and space as befits a universal/global gravitational field.

Whenever there opens up a break in the causal chain and one at some level realizes this, there lies
ones true moral responsibility. Also, even without such a break in the chain of deterministic
action, if one merely has inside knowledge, e.g., awareness of the sensitivity in initial conditions,
c.f., awareness of the sensitivity in initial conditions, c.f., chaos theory, catastrophe theory, etc.
there too does one bear the burden of moral responsibility, e.g., I saw the bus coming from my
vantage point around the corner from where you were about to cross the street and I did not warn
you! If you are hit by the bus is my culpability as great as if I had pushed you into the bus path,
to with, are sins of omission as great as those of commission, if the responsible party in both
instances, if equally aware of the harmful outcome and equally able to intervene? The argument
could be made that, in the case of the oncoming bus, the culpability is actually greater for the
person who failed to act as the person who to the positive action to cause harm must have been at
that time under the grip of a powerful impulse or compulsion. But society and its ethical mores
and legal system do not understand the distinction between omission and commission in this way.
Why not? What kind of blindness is at work here, c.f., the moral blindness that prevents most

We know that there can be no genuine creativity in evolution. For otherwise this would imply

The artists urge to create trusts in there being many like himself though in latent form, asleep and
waiting the proper stimulus (provided by the artists own creative expression) to awaken.

In the case of inertial motion there is a symmetry that implies that creation an annihilation are
balanced. Here causal relations are based in coherent quantum relations are based in coherent
quantum correlations of vacuum fluctuations. In the case of non-inertial motion, there is some
decoherence of quantum correlations (phase relations) of vacuum (fermionic) fluctuations.

We may follow Parmenides and imagine that all change is the result of unsuccessful attempts by
mind to grasp the being of indeterminate (or infinite, Apeiron), c.f., approximation errors as
fluctuations, c.f., perturbation theory. When considering the validity or soundness of an idea
always remember to treat the idea as if it had not originated with oneself. In the way one can
limit the bewitchment factor. Bohms analysis of causation in terms of fluctuations and their
correlations implies the Lorenz invariance of the quantum vacuum as well as the constancy, which
is to say in this context the observer independence of the velocity of light. His analysis may also
imply an asynchronous cellular automata model of the vacuum.

According to the Southern Baptist doctrine of election, man is not capable of choosing God for the
right reasons he can only choose God for the pleasures of heaven and/or in order to escape the
agonies of hell. In the vein of modern psychology, this is to say that mans choice of God is
structured as mere stimulus-response born of a mechanical or instinctive animal program of
minimizing pain and maximizing pleasure. Man cannot choose God for moral reasons. This
leaves open the question of whether Man can reject God for moral reasons, that is, for reasons of
conscience? The validity of the Bible as a message from the transcendent and wholly other as
not stemming from Man himself is vouchsafed by the doctrine of election. That is, if Man
lacks the moral sense and capacity to choose God, then the message of the Bible could have hardly
been crafted by humankind. If Man does possess this moral sense, then whence does it
originate?

Reflections on Vernor Vinges notion of singularity as threshold where AI exceeds the grasp of

^^Essay idea: The Lesson of the Wavefunction

The individual particle behaves just like the statistical ensemble. Real particles sufficiently
isolated behave as though virtual until placed under continual observation.

The vacuum becomes progressively more electrically polarized and less magnetized, but can this
be understood in terms of increases in both the magnetic permeability and electric permittivity and
not due to specific electromagnetic action but as a side effect of changing the timelike and
spacelike components of quantum correlations in bosonic and fermionic quantum fluctuations?

If experimentally measured particle masses are due to the energies of these particles as excitations
of the vacuum Hamiltonian, then particle mass defined in this manner may only be consistent with
the inertial mass of the particle (as reluctance of the vacuum Hamiltonian to become progressively
excited along a spacetime trajectory) if the unperturbed vacuum possessing spacetime symmetry
be composed of bosonic and fermionic fluctuations which together cancel out to some vanishingly
small value for a cosmological constant representing the local effect upon the vacuum of global
gravitation. What follows is a reprint from elsewhere in this document: Ziad, I thought that on
a Friday, I'd give you something to puzzle over.

OK, you begin accelerating in a spaceship along the x-direction. Question: does this affect the
velocity of the ship along the y- or z-directions? Well, normally in a "vacuum" the answer is
"no." However, imagine for a moment that the spaceship is accelerating through what we might
term here an "active medium", say a medium able to induce drag where the amount of drag is
governed by a kind of stress-strain-shear medium resistance tensor. And how the medium is
interconnected between x- with y- and z-directions would determine the resistance put up by the
medium as a result of a body's acceleration through the medium along the x-direction.

Well, think about how as an object accelerates, it travels ever slower through time, the faster it
moves through space. Space and time in so-called "free space" are mutually perpendicular so how
can accelerating along the x-direction in space cause a deceleration along the ict-direction?

(Just think about how the range of a projectile can be calculated without explicit reference to the
acceleration of gravity which is always perpendicular to the forward momentum of the projectile
down range. )

Unless "free space" isn't "free" at all, but is part of an intrinsically "warped" spacetime. This is a
Machian idea of course that in genuinely free space, i.e., within a truly "flat" 4-dimensional
spacetime, objects should not be expected to present any resistance to our attempt to accelerate
them! The Machian idea is basically this: inertia in "free space" (flat spacetime) is a
manifestation of the interaction of bodies interaction with the gravitational field of the Universe.

In light of developments in induced gravity theory it might be more appropriate to think of
Machian gravitation as caused by the mass interaction with the quantum vacuum so as to produce
a gravitational field when the mass is in inertial motion and an inertial field when the mass is in
noninertial motion.

Of course, if local gravitational fields are present, then the body must also interact with this local
field in addition to the Universe's g-field and hence the effective inertial mass of the body would be
expected to be larger for a mass present near a massive body (and general relativity can predict just
how large this effect is).

Otherwise, I just can't see how acceleration along "x" can affect motion along "ict" without such an
intrinsic coupling of time and space as befits a universal/global gravitational field.

Suppose the universe is a black hole (is of critical density so that spacetime is considered flat) that is
undergoing cosmological expansion. The mass of the universe must then increase as you pointed out ( I
suppose this increase is reckoned from infinity). If the density of the zero-point energy inside the hole is
decreasing while in interaction with the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, then during the time that an
energy fluctuation lasts the zero-point has every so slightly decreased and so not all of the energy borrowed
from the vacuum during the lifetime of the fluctuation need be paid back. So here to is a mass generation
mechanism. We now have the basis for a new equation of two time rates of change in mass one
cosmological and the other quantum. So the zero-point energy of the vacuum doesnt possess any inertial
mass until something is done with this energy (within the context of a curved spacetime, expanding or
contracting). This equation may perhaps point to some new physics or at least help reassure us that it is
only differences in vacuum energy density that are gravitational and inertially significant.

How is a series of vacuum fluctuations nonlocally connected fundamentally distinct from a series which is
simultaneous (the components of the series, one to another) only in a unique Lorentz frame? Does causal
connection transcend mere quantum correlation (somewhat contrary to the spirit of David Bohms
observations on the subject, perhaps). . . rather than being merely a subclass thereof in the sense of
exceeding the one-graviton, Planck mass virtual black hole limit?
In other words, can a set of nonlocally-connected quantum fluctuations only successfully model causality up
to but not including the one-graviton limit? The riddle of the would-be gravity and inertia of the quantum
vacuum, i.e., the cosmological constant riddle is intimately bound up with this consideration. Perturbation of
the action of the vacuum state that cannot be treated pertubatively, i.e., as a summation of plane waves
(non-interacting particles) is precisely the point at which spacetime is obliged to curve. Note that particle is
an ill-defined notion in strongly curved spacetimes. Rather than decoherence being an effect of gravitation,
it seems more logical to suppose that gravity is a special case of decoherence processes within the
quantum vacuum.

Because causal relationships are always describable in terms of sets of differential equations, these
relationships must be supposed to inhere within a continuously differentiable manifold of
determinate topological structure. Alterations in the topology of a continuously differentiable
manifold cannot be described by a set of differential equations definable on the original manifold.
This is why we do not expect that the energies of the submicroscopic topological fluctuations
comprise a contribution to a gravitational source term in the Einstein field equations. A
supermanifold must ground the transformation of one topology into another nonequivalent
topology such that this topological inequivalence is ultimately reducible within the supermanifold
of higher order topological structure which remains constant throughout the lower order
topological transformation. The formalism of General Relativity is not equipped to describe such a
topological supermanifold.
This reminds us of attempts to ground the discontinuous change in the wavefunction which in
between measurements evolves deterministically according to the Schrdinger equation of motion
in terms of some nonlinear time-dependent version of the S-eqn.
Notice that the transformation of one topology into a nonequivalent one necessitates a breaching of
the original topological manifold introducing discontinuities which prevent the existence of any
bridge functions being defined mediating the transformation which possess continuous
differentiability. No consistent solutions to a given set of differential equations exists if the only
possible solutions are functions which are themselves not continuously differentiable. All
topological transformations must be described in terms of bridge functions which cannot be
defined on the manifolds being transformed and so all topological transformations must be
mediated from outside all manifolds of determinate topological structure taking part in the
topological transformations. Since a metric presupposes an embedding topological manifold,
geometrodynamic fluctuations in spacetime topology cannot be described within general relativity
theory. Nor should they collectively contribute to a single vacuum state possessing an inertial mass
equivalence, which we then need to account for in our attempts to solve the cosmological constant
riddle, i.e., non-gravitating quantum vacuum.
Projections of topological transformations in a given space onto a subspace may present the
appearance of non-topological transformations within the smaller space. If a chance event yields
meaning and significance, it is only because of a common, underlying (concrete) ground of the two
things connected. The truly concrete, that is, the ultimate ground of Being, cannot be divided, but
can only appear so. To entertain the notion of two separate grounds, themselves possessing no
underlying and still more ultimate ground connecting them in the sense of making them, one with
the other, (substantially) continuous, is to set up definitions in a manner which invites
self-contradiction. We know that the action by which the continuum of space and time are
constituted presupposes a kind of temporality, but one without scale or direction in which the
connectivity of the pre-phenomenal is internal but at once without boundaries. Just musing a little
here.

given a constant mass of particles in a volume, V with a collective mass, M in which this volume is uniformly
expanding, the density of the volume should decrease with the inverse cube. But if the particles are
themselves energy fluctuations continuously being created and destroyed and recreated and so on. . . ,
then we would expect that the number density of these fluctuations to decrease with the inverse cube as the
wavelengths of the particles stretch in accordance with the changing length scale dictated by the uniform
expansion of the space in which the fluctuations continually occur. These fluctuations collectively are the
vacuum zero-point field, which thusly decreases with the inverse fourth power with uniform expansion of the
volume containing this vacuum energy.
Now if the vacuum energy constitutes the calibration 0 against which the collective mass of massive
particles contained within the expanding volume is to always be reckoned, then the mass density
(something were for the time being assuming is different from the vacuum energy density) should
effectively decrease with the inverse square (just as in the case of an expanding black hole). To wit, the
density of particles decreases with the inverse cube and the vacuum energy against which the mass of the
massive particles is measured decreases with the inverse fourth power.
Intuitively it is easy to see that a very long lived, long wavelength vacuum fluctuation shall be stretched by
the expansion somewhat during the lifetime of the fluctuation and so when its energy is paid back to the
collective vacuum state, not as much energy has to be paid back as was originally borrowed when the
vacuum fluctuations began - in order to satisfy the Heisenberg uncertainty principle and energy
conservation.
Where did the component of energy go that didnt have to be paid back? It went into the creation of
additional mass of the massive particles participating in the overall cosmological expansion. This is how I
reconcile the two types of mass increase so as to show that they are one and the same, just looked at from
opposite ends of the telescope, if you will, quantum versus cosmological. The black hole mass-radius
relationship then may be just the natural outcome, cosmologically of a closed expanding spacetime.
Pushing together a lot of mass through the Pauli Exclusion Principle for fermions and the Pauli Inclusion
Principle for bosons in the extreme case recapitulates this cosmological structure, when the increasing
mass density (as more and more mass is piled together within smaller and smaller volume) causing the
collapsing mass to effect a continual local reduction (within the decreasing volume of the collapsing mass)
in the vacuum energy within the decreasing volume and against which the collapsing mass energy must be
continually recalibrated so that the mass relativistically increases, eventually forming a local (as opposed to
a global black hole).

Subject: Mobius loops and entanglement
Hi Russ,
Now, let's say that we "create" two entangled particles or photons. Must the two particles now
"catch a ride" on two "chain-linked" Mobius loops, each heading off in different "directions?" Or
do the particle potentials occupy the entire "linked" double Mobius loop? That is the only way
I can see "quantum teleportation of state" to another particle across the universe. These linked
Mobius loops would have to be in existence BEFORE the two photons happen to catch a ride on
it in order to explain observed quantum entanglement phenomenon.
This makes sense to me because the creation of local quantum entanglement probably comes
about through tapping preexistent global quantum entanglement such that probability and
quantum entanglement and information is conserved. However, information is not conserved for
quantum entanglement involving superpositions of quantum states that are separated by more
than a Planck mass this would correspond to the superposition of distinct quantum vacua, which
is absolutely ruled out in quantum field theory you can only do this within the very limited
boundary conditions set by the locally prevailing Heisenberg energy uncertainties. But within the
bounds set by quantum uncertainty, I would agree that local quantum entanglement is created by
borrowing from preexistent global quantum entanglement, i.e., quantum entanglement of states of
the same vacuum state, i.e., of quantum entangled vacua with an energy spread smaller than a
Planck mass.

(This implies a means of reconciling conservation of quantum information with
leaving room for emergence in the sense of the creation of genuinely new information, which may indeed be
already included in the component of the vacuum that is constitutive of causal spacetime and so never
locally or intersubjectively accessible. What is the term we should use to designate that component of the
objective, which is not intersubjective, i.e., includes but always transcends the intersubjective? ). In this
way, causality is exhaustively described in terms of quantum correlations of quantum fluctuations
(within the self-same vacuum state). We consider the long standing problem in field theories of
bosons that the boson vacuum does not consist of a `sea', unlike the fermion vacuum, c.f,
http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/0312302
April 2012
We show with the help of supersymmetry considerations that the boson vacuum indeed does also
consist of a sea in which the negative energy states are all filled, analogous to the Dirac sea of the fermion
vacuum, and that a hole produced by the annihilation of one negative energy boson is an anti-particle. Here,
we must admit that it is only possible if we allow as occurs in the usual formalism anyway that the
Hilbert space for the single particle bosons is not positive definite. This might be formally coped with by
introducing the notion of a double harmonic oscillator, which is obtained by extending the condition imposed
on the wave function. This double harmonic oscillator includes not only positive energy states but also
negative energy states. We utilize this method to construct a general formalism for a boson sea analogous
to the Dirac sea, irrespective of the existence of supersymmetry. The physical result is consistent with that
of the ordinary second quantization formalism, c.f.,

During noncoherent photon production by electron cascade, such as in an ordinary light bulb,
only about 2 in 10^11 phtons created by the light bulb are considered entangled with one
another. Are these linked loops then relatively "rare" or must the lucky entangled photon pair
have special properties in order to "catch a ride" on two linked Mobius loops? Maybe it is both
of those possiblities!
The special property is both photons derived from the same vacuum state, i.e., they are
entangled because they are both entangled with the same vacuum state to begin with. I suppose
some kind of dimensionless ratio, say of two different vacuum energy densities (cosmological
constant divided by Planck density in the extreme case!) might come into play in calculating the
probability of two photons - of a given wavelength, separated by a certain spacetime interval
between the two quantum uncertain spacetime points at which created, being 100% quantum
correlated.
Now, I imagine an atom. I can envision the atom as many nested fractal Mobius loops all
interconnecting with one another so that everything in the atom is "self-entangled." Now,
would the Pauli exclusion priciple mean that only one loop can be occupied by two electrons at
a time with opposite "spins?" In this case, the spin would just be a result of which of two
directions the respective electrons are moving within the loop.
Yes, that smacks of good common sense/intuition. I buy that idea.
Now, spontaneous fission of the nucleus occurs and must surely cause a "breaking" of about
half of the loops from one another (although fission products of the original nucleus are
thought to remain entangled for a brief period of time). What makes the nucleus unstable? Is
there a "loose end" of a broken Mobius loop flying in the vacuum flux breeze which when
tugged causes the original nucleus to "unwravel" into two nuclei?
Distinct topologies cannot be grounded in the very same spacetime. Clearly open and closed
loops possess distinct topology, just as twisted and non-twisted loops possess distinct
topologies. Distinct topologies then cannot be superposed and any superposition of quantum
states that threatens branching into to two or more topologies for the system shall collapse under
its own weight, if you will. This is not an answer, but a consideration in relation to your question.
Benni Reznik has a lot to say about vacuum nonlocality and Lorentz transformations of entanglement. You
diagram makes sense if, instead of Lorentz transformations, you think in terms of progressively greater
accelerations, from say Hc (Hubbles constant times the speed of light), that is to say, the cosmologi cal
acceleration to the Planck acceleration. Id really like to try the dowsing experiment, by the way. And make
sure and borrow a timepiece tied to an atomic clock signal and establish some kind of synched up
communication link with Dr. DeBrandes when you guys do your entanglement experiment.
There should be an equivalence between the so called one graviton limit, i.e., Planck mass in the
complexity of vacuum fluctuations and the complexity of what can be teleported nonlocally between points
A and B. Since to escape the speed of light restriction on propagation of energy of the specific kind
discussed by Einstein, which is to say energy that possesses inertia, we need a chain of merely correlated
(though causally independent), that is, quantum correlated vacuum fluctuations along the entire trajectory
to support the passage of the energy or information that shall therefore propagate without inertial effect.
Each individual quantum fluctuation nonlocally correlated to its neighbor in the chain forming this trajectory
would therefore be below the one graviton limit or cutoff. This would also serve as a natural limit on the
degree of quantum correlation of one quantum fluctuation of the vacuum and its immediate neighbor within
the trajectory of nonlocally propagating information/energy. The cosmological constant problem being
solved on this view through both current density of quantum correlation and density of quantum coherence
(of each individual quantum fluctuation) being held below this same Planck mass or Penrosian one graviton
limit.
Inertial mass is thus seen as being intimately related to a kind of symmetry breaking of the quantum vacuum
involving fluctuations in this vacuums stress-momentum-energy becoming classically correlated on top of
being maximally quantum correlated (or more generally, where the sum of the densities and current
densities of classical + quantum information exceeding the one graviton limit in the cases of quantum
fluctuation and quantum teleportation, respectively) and so inertial mass is then entirely a function of
classical information and therefore exclusively an artifact of distinctly classical as opposed to distinctly
quantum physics. There is a coincidence between the definition of a classical black hole (in terms of escape
velocity of a body being equal to the speed of light, c.f., LaPlacian black holes) with the definition of a
quantum black hole in the sense of yielding identical Schwarzchild black hole equations. The quantum
black hole must be analyzed in terms of this conservation of entanglement concept of ours. . . say where
quantum entanglement shifts from a mixture of spacelike and timelike to being exclusively spacelike, c.f.,
spin-0 fermion-antifermionic fluctuations vs. spin-1 bosonic fluctuations.

Don't know why I didn't realize this earlier, but a fermion rotated 360 degrees only goes round a
Mobius loop once and has to go around *twice* in order to reach its originally orientation. I
believe the Mobius twist is in the four space that the universe is expanding into. Take a strip of
paper and make a Mobius strip by doing a half twist of the ends and taping them together. If a cut
out of a tracing of a hand, say a left hand is slid along the Mobius strip loop one cycle, it comes out
mirror reversed and must be slid around one more cycle on the Mobius strip or loop to come back
to its original orientation in *3 dimensions*, this even thought the cut out and strip are two
dimensional. But the Mobius strip has to be twisted through 3 dimensions to be constructed. So by
analogy (adding a dimension) the rotation of the fermion by 720 degrees is analogous, but one
must add one dimension so that the rotation takes place in four space. So rotating a fermion with a
magnetic field by only 360 degrees must secretly be taking the fermion through a Mobius twist in
four dimensional space. I think in this way the timelike nature of the fermion-antifermion pair can
be proven and such a spin 0 vacuum fluctuation proven to be also purely timelike. My google
search link (above) demonstrates that no one has really remarked about this - as the link produced
"0 hits". Seems so obvious now though, right? So the existence of 4d-spacetime can be seen as
proof of a pure 4d space as well, once quantum statistics of fermions is taken into account. What do
you think? (How your face looks in your driver's license picture, for example wouldn't match with
how you look in a mirror unless you were sent through this same 320 Mobius loop, by the way -
hehe!)


There is a camp of molecular biologists who claim that the DNA/RNA/Protein system that
currently exists ad even that of the earliest most primitive kind is/was possessed of an "irreducible
complexity", e.g., mousetrap. Like the net of Indra there had to be a kind of simultaneously
arising of the entire system at some critical level of initial complexity. This may seem to suggest
that the complexity of simple coherent biochemical systems must be abstractions from the top
down rather than "concretions" from the bottom up. This is similar to the notion of how the mind
of Man descended from the transcendent through progressive limitation rather than upward from
the immanent through a building up from combinations of the simplest components of matter, C,
H, O, N, etc.


There should be some kind of simple trig function of the angle of alignment (such as cosine of a
double angle, etc.) of the virtual electron and positron spins in the virtual Cooper pair that could be
an index of the degree of quantum entanglement of anticorrelation of the two spin-1/2's.

The fact of the orientation of spin of a spin-1/2 particle being dependent upon the observer's choice
of reference frame (in the sense of the choice of magnetic field direction) and indeterminate
otherwise (unless you happen to have some classical information bits from a previous incarnation
of the system, that is) is somehow importantly connected with relativity.

We of course must not lose sight of the peculiarity of the antisymmetry of the fermionic
wavefunction when trying to picture the relative spatial orientation ( in the sense of relative mutual
rotation of the spin +/- 1/2 of the electron and positron composing the same Cooper pair.) That
is, if we are going to look for some spatial analogue for entanglement of spins, what we have
termed "magnetization entanglement". Remember that you must rotate a fermion 720 degrees to
get back the wavefunction you started with.

A positron is an electron moving backward in time, suppose. So what's the minimum spacetime
rotation for the electron and the positron which gives back the composite spin-0 particle (Cooper
pair) with which one started?

Might the physical remains as mere vacuum field initial and boundary conditions become
entangled with the general boundary conditions of the larger environment, while the spectrum of
vacuum fields with which the deceased person's brain once typically resonated and quantum
entanglement must simply continue in the absence of those specific boundary conditions
constituted by the person's quantum microtubule network? We should associate the structures of
consciousness with the particular spectra of vacuum fields, which themselves probably have
always been entangled to some degree with the vacuum at large.

Momentum-energy is conserved and there are quantum numbers for momentum and energy, but
spacetime as the complementary quantity, I suspected has no quantum number, i.e., it's not a
conserved quantity and so, without a quantum of spacetime, we should not expect gravitons (or
gravity waves, for that matter) to exist. Besides, we have spin-1/2 and spin-1, which is all we
need to make particles of spin-0, spin-3/2 and spin-2, etc. There's no need for a fundamental
spin-2 particle. Nature's conservative in that way.

Well, it looks like the relationships of polarization, P, magnetization, M and permittivity and
permeability are just right, if you assume 0 magnetic and electric field strengths for the vacuum,
i.e., <E> and <B> = 0 for vacuum (which seems reasonable) to support the idea of fermionic and
bosonic entanglement being two different forms of a generalized quantum entanglement which is
conserved. Entanglement conservation is probably more fundamental than mrere probability
conservation, since the exact quantum mechanical analogue for classical probability is sqrt[Psi x
Psi*] where Psi is pure state wavefunction, while the generalization of this quantity is of course the
density matrix where the phase relations of the components of the density matrix (and their
temporal evolution) represents the distribution of quantum entanglement in the statistically mixed
system.

By Noether's theorem there should be an underlying symmetry for quantum entanglement (QE) as
a conserved quantity as well as a quantum number uniquely associated with QE. The symmetry
may turn out to be ordinary spacetime symmetry (but of a deeper kind than that pointed up by mere
momentum-energy vector or, stress-momentum-energy tensor). And of course the quantum
number associated with QE symmetry must be the inverse of von Neumann entropy, which we'll
call von Neumann information (in contrast to classical, digital or "Shannon information").
"POLARIZATION VECTORS. In the theory of the electromagnetic field: two vectors, P and M,
given by P = D - eE and M = B/u - H, where D is the displacement, E the electric field strength, B
the magnetic induction, H the magnetic field strength, and e and u the permittivity and
permeability respectively in empty space." Dictionary of Physics (1980)

I wonder if we can take as general principle for making up Gedanken experiments about possible
analogue (i.e., mechanical) models of gravitation the following: See what happens to physical
quantities in the vacuum when transforming to an accelerated reference frame and invoke
Einstein's equivalence principle (both principles, strong and weak, inertial mass = gravitational
mass and gravitation equivalent to acceleration) in order to propose just these types of changes to
these vacuum physical quantities as the underlying mechanism for sustaining a gravitational field.

Is the change in configuration energy of the vacuum fields that must adjust in some way when a
particle, such as a proton or muon is removed from the region of the vacuum? This is like
thinking of the particle's inertial mass in terms of the mass equivalence of the particle's vacuum
enthalpy.

Kind of like calculating the 1st order propagator/state of a particle as a 1st order manifestation of
the underlying vacuum field, by summing up all the 2nd order and all higher order corrections to
the propagator?

I kind of imagine the atoms composing any bit of matter, any mass as dynamically grouping
themselves into composite bosons and fermions through a continual mutual exchange of quantum
entanglement between these virtual "cells" and "domains" formed of arbitrary groupings of
entangled atoms that are continually reconstituting themselves so as to maintain a kind of
entanglement equilibrium, i.e., continual avoidance of squeezed states while maintaining overall
conservation of entanglement throughout the bulk of the mass. However, upon acceleration,
squeezed states form but in accordance with a kind of action or minimization principle that
maintains a shifted thermodynamic equilibrium within the mass, i.e., some entropy is inevitably
produced by acceleration. (Reversibility of time-independent Schrodinger equation deterministic
evolution, foreseeable by the cosmic quantum vacuum CPU must break down, necessitating
decoherence processes) And the net bulk entanglement within the mass shifts from spin-0 to
spin-1 through a shift in the distribution of entanglement, mimicking what would be expected for a
vacuum with equivalent gravitational potential (in terms of equivalent acceleration). A Rindler
horizon (as a generalization of an event horizon) forms and Davies-Unruh radiation is observed
that is consistent with the entropy of the newly formed Rindler horizon . . . whew! Of course, the
permeability and permittivity within the bulk matter also transform so that the speed of light within
the mass changes to reflect the new vacuum that the mass sees while under acceleration, and so on.
. .

I've been looking at this idea of the vacuum not gravitating. Force may be characterized as either
time rate of change in 3-momentum or as space rate of change in energy (timelike 4-momentum, if
your will). Notice that when a photon either falls into a gravitational potential or "climbs out" of
one that the ratios, /\p//\t and /\E//\x are constant, implying that the vacuum exerts no force on the
infalling or escaping photon.

Notice also that the photon's 4-momentum is unchanged though climbing out of a potential and
reshifting in the process. This s because the increase in the local velocity of light (i.e.,
acceleration of the photon) as the photon reaches regions of decreased potential (as the photon
climbs out) is exactly by the decrease in the photon's frequency - these act in opposing senses so
that the photon's 4-momentum is conserved.

I've also been thinking that the notion of Heisenberg uncertainty should be related more directly to
the idea of relative decoherence of the timelike, spin-0 (virtual Cooper pair creation-annihilation)
and spacelike, spin-1 (virtual boson exchanges within 3-space) components of the fluctuating
quantum vacuum in a changing gravitational potential. I think that an increased /\p (uncertainty
in 3-momentum) governing the decreased density of creation-annihilation of virtual Cooper pairs
within a strong gravitational potential could be interpreted as an increased internal decoherence of
the Cooper pairs' wavefunction (or density matrix) and the decreased /\E (uncertainty in imaginary
4-momentum) governing the increased density of virtual boson exchanges in this strong potential
could be interpreted as a decreased, i.e., increased coherence, hence entanglement of these virtual
bosons. This seems elegant and invites more systematic thought about H-uncertainty and its
relation to decoherence and entanglement in a gravitational potential relative to free space
spacetime.

Question: if an electron and a positron mutually annihilate, the pair of photons produced will have
perfect correlation of their polarizations, provided that the spins of the electron and positron were
perfectly entangled so as to be anti-parallel. If the entanglement of the + or _ 1/2 spin of the
electron and positron is 0, then the polarizations of the photons produced in the mutual annihilation
shall be completely decohered, correct? If I'm right, then wouldn't this support the idea of there
being a close relationship between entanglement of virtual Cooper pairs and virtual photons in a
gravitational field, at least in essence, you know, in terms of the whole conservation of
entanglement concept as applied to bosonic and fermionic vacuum fluctuations of
momentum-energy, c.f., http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron-positron_annihilation

A dielectric medium has a reduced velocity of light because of the continual absorption and
reemission of the photons as the photon passes through the medium. The decreased velocity of
light in a vacuum where a strong gravitational field is present might be understood in a similar
manner the electron-positron creation-annihilations are of lower density in a gravitational field
and so a photon must compensate by possessing a greater momentum uncertainty to bridge the gap
created by the reduced energy uncertainty of this gravitational potential infused vacuum.

The mitochondrion is now thought to have once been an independent bacterium that "gave up too many
genes" after which it could only survive in symbiosis with a eukaryote cell. This inexplicably suggested to
me the contrast between "sin" and "grace" as being complementary entities.
When spin has been determined to be in the + x-direction, say with state, S(x), then the values of S(y) and
S(z) are indeterminate, i.e., there is a total of 360 degrees of uncertainty, you might say because of 180
degrees of /\S(y) + 180 degrees of /\S(z). Could it be that the 180 degree rotation of a spin-1/2 particle in
the x-y plane, for example (rather than in the x-z plane - both rotations representing a change from s = S(x)
to s = -S(x), by the way) is secretly accompanied by rotations in the Heisenberg uncertainties in the spin in
other orthogonal directions? We should not here that the antiparticle to particle with spin, +S(z) must have
an opposite spin of -S(z), which is apparently part and parcel to the antiparticle's interpretation (originally by
Feynman) as the same particle, though moving backward in time.
I supposed that the spin uncertainties were rotated along with the determinate component of the particle's
spin being rotated because, when the state Q of a particle is teleported, the Heisenberg uncertainty in Q, /\Q
is also teleported. This way, interpreting particle propagation as the continuous teleportation of the particle
implies that a Lorentz boost not only transforms Q, but also transforms /\Q.
Confirmed that the "prior art" literature asserts that the speed of light in vacuum is increased in a Casimir
vacuum and that this is on account of a decrease in the number density of scattering virtual
electron-positron pairs in the path of a propagating photon, which must be interpreted as a decrease in /\p
relative to /\E for the quantum system of conducting plates and vacuum between the plates. The
polarization of light rotates as it passes through dielectric medium (Faraday rotation). <magnetization
rotation>, <spin polarized electrons>
Electrons have DeBroglie wavelengths because of the 1-loop propagation via continual substitution within
e+e- virtual pairs, which are timelike fluctuations and so, by Fourier's theorem must be represented by a
wavepacket of frequency domain functions. Collective spin-1 and spin-0 are in competition in supporting
the propagation of photons and electron/positron pairs, i.e., e+e-, e-e+, e+e+, e-e-.
When /\s(x), /\s(y), and /\s(z) are nonzero, then does this imply that /\s(w) = 0, i.e., the spin is pointing in a
timelike direction?
During a Lorentz boost, spin and momentum degrees of freedom become entangled, c.f., Wigner's "Little
Groups". Cooper pairs have 100% anti-correlated spins, +/- S(i)'s (where i = 1,2, or 3 or superposition of
1,2 and 3 and the +/- /\S(i)'s cancel because of the entanglement of the +/-S(i)'s.)
In the same way that we might ask whence comes the energy liberated by a matter-antimatter annihilation
reaction we might also ask, "whence comes the extra 3-angular momentum that we can't account for from
Newtonian mechanics which appears as perihelion precession of the planet Mercury's orbit and which is
predicted by the General Theory of Relativity?" Could the anomalous boost in Mercury's 3-angular
momentum stem from the transformation of the planet's 4-angular momentum through a cyclic continuum of
accelerated frames? In which case there msut be a hidden component of timelike angular momentum
possessed by the planet, which becomes more and more spacelike as the planet orbits closer to the Sun.
This hidden timelike component of angular momentum resides with the collective elementary spin-0 of the
planet's bulk material, the properties of which are determined by hidden quantum entanglement of all
particles composing the planet's mass. Causality, simultaneity and spin-1/2 measurement: In one
reference frame, Alice measures her particle's spin 1st; in another reference frame, Bob measures his
particle's spin 1st.
"Bohm's Law" only applies when certain entanglement conditions obtain. Probability against a certain
self-decohering system doesn't necessarily increase moving backward in time (even taking emergence into
account). Decoherence is in opposition to emergence. <quantum emergence theory> <spinor
relativity>
During propagation, what is the relationship between the net angular momentum vector and the linear
momentum?, e.g., the photon's spin is <parallel to its direction of motion>.
If spin-1/2 is to be associated with timelike angular momentum that is directed parallel or anti-parallel to the
direction of timelike propagation, then the equation of a complete wavefunction phaseshift with a 720
degree (rather than 360 degree) rotation of the spin-1/2 particle can be intuitively understood in terms of
4-rotations of the particle within spacetime.
If a spin-1/2 particle, say s(z) = +/- 1/2 is Lorentz boosted to near "c", then, as reckoned from the original
laboratory reference frame, what is the direction of the particle's spin, s(z)' in terms of s(z)?
The spin of an elementary particle cannot be altered, only the direction in which the spin of the particle
points. Does this suggest that when /\S(x), /\S(y), and /\S(z) are nonzero that the spin must be determined
to be +/- 1/2 in some orthogonal directions that is "incompatible" with "x", "y" and "z"?
The "incompatibility" woudl perhaps be indirect, e.g., /\x(i) is incompatible with /\p(i), /\t is incompatible with
/\E and /\x(i) and /\t form a 4-vector while /\p(i) and /\E form a four vector.

Talent is sublimated rather than the motive lying with appreciation or enjoyment of the specific subject
matter.
The "no-cloning" theorem is essentially a statement of the principle of the conservation of entanglement,
which supplants the classical physical notion of "stuff conservation". Without the activity of substance,
which is irreducible to form, (implying an nonconserved quantity) there can be no legitimate temporality.
"Stuff" is actually a quantum construct that is not conserved, though indeed, perhaps quantum
entanglement is. In the way, decoherence becomes a physical necessity! It's not the momentum of the
photon (Heisenberg's light microscope thought experiment), but the sate of knowledge of the observer (or
mere "knowledgeability" of some hypothetical/possible observer?) that reduces Psi?

"/\Q about", i.e., /\Q in context-collapsed by the mere possibility of measurement/knowledge. "/\Q of", i.e.,
/\Q out of context - can only be collapsed by actual measurement/knowledge of observer (which we are
assuming here can only be gotten by measurement, but there are so-called "non-demolition"
measurements that exploit Bell nonlocality.
Environmental decoherence is related to consciousness' role in collapsing Psi. What about when
information embodied in /\Q is tied to a microscopic state?, c.f., 2-states superposition, environmental
decoherence has the same effect as observation, i.e., binary opposition. This is not the case of systems
of sufficient complexity. But such systems can start out context-free and binary opposition-reducible, but
lose this character due to environmental entanglement. The structure of spin decoherence show that
under sufficiently large accelerations, spin possesses the property of timelike angular momentum.
Investigate the quantity, J = L + S in a Lorentz-boosted context. Propagation may perhaps be interpreted
a la Bohm's Law/Principle in terms of <"continuous teleportation">. Not knowing what information was
teleported - just that the state, Q was transmitted is suggestive of a <"substance paradigm">.
April 2011
Perhaps decoherence occurs when the systems state space can no longer contain the spectrum of possibilities for the
systems behavior or, still more, the quantum vacuum as the ground of being for the system is no longer adequate to
encompass the real time possibilities of the system. Here is the connection between gravitation and decoherence,
gravitational time dilation in which the system requires more time to temporally evolve than is available to it locally.

The complementarity relation between nonlocal and local (classical) information in addition to evidence that
entanglement is a conserved quantity (quantum # = quantity of von Neumann information) suggests that all
information-bearing structures distill von Neumann information from quantum entanglement that ultimately
exists within the vacuum, i.e., all entanglement derives from vacuum entanglement. How do we
distinguish uncertainty of from uncertainty about and are they sometimes the same thing, e.g., intentionality
of consciousness.
Vedral's notion of how photons appear to take on mass in a superconductor that is manifesting the
Meissner effect due to quantum entanglement between electrons that have formed Cooper pairs seems
closely interrelated to mine and Volovik's dual superfluid vacuum model for induced gravity, c.f., Vedral's
paper on entanglement underlying the bulk properties of matter such as the complementarity between
magnetization and magnetic susceptibility. This was suggested to me when I chanced upon the New
Scientist article, "Quantum quirk may give objects mass."
Teleportation involves transmission of immeasurable quantities, /\Q and states protected by the no-cloning
theorem. Classical information packaged as quantum information, e.g., turn around time for correlations of
heated LiF chips with metastable states.

Is it possible for uninterpreted yes/no data to be

DeBroglie wavefunction as wavelength of a physical wave versus as a wavelength for a Psi. Planck cutoff
for energy of highest frequency DeBroglie matter wave implies such a cut off for most dense encoding of
quantum information, i.e., vacuum information saturation. Tie this in to the two distinct interpretations of
grounds for decoherence. <polarized Psi>, <magnetized Psi>
Local realism is false and quantum decoherence necessitates inertia and the reality of classical information
embodied in the local systems and states. Reality of nonlocal "stuff".
A deterministic chaotic system could not be modeled in terms of correlated quantum fluctuations, which
would be a linear description. Is the turn around time the classical information that must be sent along
with the teleported information? Continuity of boundary conditions in the electron two slit experiment.
The no-cloning theorem is essentially a statement of the principle of entanglement conservation, which
supplants the notion of "stuff conservation" from classical physics. "Stuff" is actually a quantum construct
that is not conserved, though entanglement is - so decoherence becomes a necessity. It's not the
momentum of the photon (Heisenberg's light microscope thought experiment), but the state of knowledge of
the observer (knowledgeability of hypothetical observer?) that collapses Psi.
Of course, one simple approach to the cosmological constant problem is to suppose that the vast bulk of the
quantum vacuum is in a Bose-condensed "zero state" where the Bose particles make no contribution to the

i.e., processed (as though by a cosmic CPU) while Bohm's Principle remains inviolate do not contribute to
inertial or gravitational mass or, for that matter, to decoherence of the nonlocally connected vacuum fields
and no irreversible or time-asymmetric processing occurs, i.e., no entropy is generated.
The twin paradox is revolved by noting that O and O' have different notions of simultaneity in comparing

How can the field equations of GR be truly nonlinear if the tensor equations of GR are coordinate system
independent. Maybe the pesky non-gravitating vacuum component of the cosmological constant secretly
appears within all three terms of the field equations and so cancels out. The solution to the cosmological
constant problem would then be trivial.
The (-) sign occurring in the expression for the spacetime interval, which serves to distinguish time from
space, to the (-) sign that serves to distinguish fermionic or asymmetric wavefunction from bosonic or
symmetric wavefunction. This was first suggested to me by the equation,
|Psi| = |Psi(s) + iPsi(a)| = (Psi(s) + i Psi(a))x(Psi(s) - iPsi(a)) = Psi(s)**2 + Psi(a)**2 = |Psi(s)| + |Psi(a)|
There are spatial rotations and spacetime rotations (aka Lorentz transformations), so it seems reasonable
to suppose that the motion of "time rotation" is a valid number. We must distinguish rotations of the time
axis from rotations "about" the time axis.
So fermions may be interpreted most broadly as substance/figure and bosons as insubstantial/ground.
"Ground" as merely hidden figure, that is, as merely complementary to ground shuts out the dynamics by
which figure transforms itself into its complement given certain boundary conditions (discrete quantum
transitions) or continuous transformations (through continuous change in the quantum field boundary
conditions?) (See Leggett (1987), especially chapters 5 and 6.) "Interactionism" theory of mind is most
compatible with the Copenhagen "Collapse Model" of the quantum measurement problem.
One solution to the quantum measurement problem might be to involve (1) interference between quantum
superposed states of the system under observation with superpositions of an observer's perceptions of the
system, in addition to invoking (2) nonlocal connectivity of the quantum brains of multiple simultaneous
observers of the system. The nonlocal connectivity of the vacuum is not uniform but is comprised by cells
or domains of greater nonlocal connectivity.
Temporality implies that the system is not in an energy eigenstate. When Bohm's Principle is violated and
entanglement is not conserved, a dynamics as opposed to a merely kinematic process is ongoing, and of
course a certain amount of entropy (von Neumann or Shannon?) is generated. Entanglement
non-conservation forms the basis of temporal evolution and is fundamentally non-computable. Classical
information constitutes the boundary conditions for quantum information. The reverse of this is true as
well, i.e., quantum information constituting the boundary conditions for classical information, though only up
to a threshold. This threshold is situated at the onset of irreversibility in the system's changes in state.
When quantum information capacity of a system is outstripped by the system's classical information, it is
here that the system begins to undergo decoherence.
As the rate of increase in classical information begins to outstrip the quantum information processing power
of the system, then it is here where the system experiences a relativistic increase in mass. Associated
with this is a relativistic increase in momentum acting in the opposite sense to the vector of the impressed
acceleration, which is the origin of inertia. Conservation of quantum entanglement may be demonstrated
through analysis of the generalized uncertainty relations for so called squeezed states.
In the equation for the derivation of E = mc**2, interpreting the term under the integral, mv/sqrt[1 - v**2/c**2]
as the product of an invariant "m" with a relativistic velocity,
v' = v/sqrt[1 - v**2/c**2] appears to yield an energy of mc**2 long before v reaches the value of "c" in the
upper bound of the integral. Why?
SQUIDS may be used to measure quantum scale changes in magnetic susceptibility, which in turn could be
used to measure magnetization entanglement in bulk material. SQUIDs could measure small changes in
susceptibility at different gravitational potentials as well as changes in quantum gravitational noise in
vacuum.
Dirac's equation really calls for creation and annihilation of 4 spin-1/2 particles in vacuum, or rather, a/a+ of
superposition states of 4 spin-1/2 particles. Can a particular Lorentz frame be associated with a particular
possibility for a quantum measurement?
Instead of using M, the magnetization as an index of entanglement, it might be better in light of the paper,
"Magnetic Susceptibility as a Macroscopic Entanglement Witness", Vedral et al. to utilize mu the
permeability and chi the susceptibility as such an index. Hopefully another similar paper shall be
published soon in which it is shown that electric susceptibility can be a witness of electric dipole
entanglement.
We have free will in the sense of our brains being able to outstrip the quantum computing capacity of the
local vacuum, but it is still for working out our character, which is also our fate - but a fate that can change if
caught up with that of others.
Bohm's principle/law is transcendental across the temporal horizon where causal law becomes too complex

at boundary surfaces, etc.

The electric and magnetic field strengths are mutually incompatible through the incompatibility of position and
momentum applied to electric charges and currents. Specifying the position of an electric charge more precisely
permits more precise specification of the charge's static electric field, but at the price of an uncertain charge
momentum, which must be associated with a corresponding uncertainty in the electric current and hence in the
magnetic field strength. Similarly, the more accurately is the magnetic field specified, the more precisely is the charge
momentum specified, which by the uncertainty principle, the less precisely can the charge position be measured,
leading to a less precisely measurable electric field. The loss of magnetization entanglement of fermion-antifermion
pairs is driven by the increased uncertainty in the local magnetic field vector. This should be concomitant with the
reduced uncertainty in the local electric field vector and the increase in polarization entanglement.

In Feynman's parton quark model the interaction between quarks (partons) becomes time dilated so that
the binding energy of partons (making up a single hadron) decreases as v approaches c. Like any other
accelerating mass, if binding energy is the basis of inertia and is lost with acceleration and as a function of
relative velocity, in accordance with the correct functional relationship F(Eb) (v, a), then the amount of
binding energy given upon the mass reaching c must be mc**2. However, as a hadron falls into a
gravitational field it enters a region of vacuum where energy fluctuations, embodied in the vacuum's /\E are
progressively transferred into 3-momentum fluctuations, embodied in the /\p of the vacuum. The
magnetization of the quantum vacuum in the form of the quantum entanglement of electrons and positrons
with in virtual Cooper pairs, created and annihilated spontaneously in accordance with the magnitude of the
density of the vacuum's Heisenberg uncertain energy is progressively degraded in ever stronger
gravitational fields; the virtual e+'s and e-'s become progressively more independent and the molecular
bosonic character of the spontaneously created virtual Cooper pairs is progressively degraded, which may
be understood as decoherence and breaking of spontaneous symmetry (of spacetime, which includes the
electromagnetic gauge?); in this way the Pauli Principle acts ever more strongly upon the constituent
fermions of the spontaneously created and annihilated virtual Cooper pairs. And this is the mechanism by
which matter's effect upon the quantum statistics of the vacuum is strengthened in progressively more
intense gravitational fields.

In terms of our current and natural scheme of categories, the "that which creates" is also "that which
sustains" of Leibniz' Principle are understood as distinct, externally by Darwinian Theory, internally by
theologians. To successfully remove both "Deus" as well as God by extension, i.e., "Deus ex Machina"
from the naturalistic world view of cosmogony, one has to see the creative principle within the sustainment
principle (after all, according to naturalism, the Universe has always been here) while at once letting go of
the tendency to wish to see this principle the other way round.
A tenuous application of this new understanding of Leibniz' Principle might be within the debate between
Machian and classical relativists' understanding of Einsteins Equivalence Principle, e.g., must we treat
equivalent Lorentz frames as possessing a common origin, say, either through vacuum entanglement or via
cosmological initial conditions? - or would we treat them thus on purely formal grounds?, that is, is Einstein's
Equivalence a kinematic or a dynamic principle?
If the so-called stuff of which the world is made was not created and "has just always been here," then
Leibniz' Principle must break down - though perhaps only within the understanding, c.f., Kan't notion of "the
understanding". In other words the dynamics is "squeezed out" by the kinematics.
Simultaneous reinterpretation along metaphorical axes while forging a line of literal exposition behaves akin

At root of all quantum interference phenomena is self-interference of the field, which can manifest itself as

potential observer.
My review of the spin and orbital angular momentum theory suggests that these two quantities are
separately conserved just like the separate components of 3-momentum are conserved, well at least for the
case where v/c 1. The separate conservation of S and L seems to imply that S doesn't exchange J
with L in an analogous way to how say, colliding gyroscopes (with rough surfaces) might exchange angular
momentum between like components of L (in such a manner tha Lx = Lx1 + Lx2 = constant; same for Ly, Lz,
etc.
One might expect that for the relativistic case that there would be a break down in the separate
conservation of components of not only 3-momentum, but 3-angular momentum, 3-spin, etc., c.f.,
reinterpretation of Einstein's perihelion precession problem, origin of inertia in gyroscopic resistance to

Hawking radiation shows the extreme case where entanglement of spins has been 100% transformed into

Universe were secretly a computational system, then we couldn't really have an entropy flow/gradient
without a complementary information flow/gradient. In the same way that Einstein deduced spontaneous

An example of multiple copy of a context-sensitive content of information. The only way to side step the

When spin has been determined to be in the + x-direction with eigenstate Sx, then values of Sy and Sz are
indeterminate. So what then if no spin measurement had been performed? Then all three spins would
be indeterminate (in the sense of "+" and "-" and "up" and "down") - and so the spin must be determined
secretly to be Sw or timelike. (Does this imply absolute direction of time - no - because orthogonal Si's are
indeterminate.
Like Leibniz' clock whose ticking was only noticed once it had stopped, one's bizarre metaphysical

Entanglement entropy is not covariant. Vacuum supports superposition so superposition of distinct vacua
is no allowed. Superposition principle vs. principle of equivalence. The fact that perfect isolation of a
quantum system does not prevent environmental decoherence implies that the vacuum fluctuation field
induces decoherence. The mind allegedly does this as well through the action of its consciousness.
The mind concentrates quantum entanglement and so observation enhances the effect of vacuum-based
environmental decoherence. But then part of what discomfits the quantum vacuum is the unanticipated
will of the conscious observer, implying that the brain of the observer is somehow altogether outside "the
environment". It is the indistinguishability of quantum particles that leads to teleportation and
substance-like properties of quantum information which defy context-sensitivity, up to a point, that is.
EPR's position was that a measurement must be predetermined if it can be known with certainty. But the
decision whether or not to make this measurement is not predetermined. The less well correlated (via

the pair behave as a collective spin-0 particle, i.e., boson and the more do the particles of the pair behave
as independent fermions to which the Pauli Principle is completely democratic, not making distinction
between virtual and so-called real particles. Henceforth we will term this notion of the radically
democratic Pauli Principle. Feynman's Pauli Principle or, "Feynman's Principle" for short. /\E is

let go and die into the moment which is all. There is no you anymore at all. The intensity of this can't be
described, but you realize as you're slipping away that it's familiar". If consciousness truly exists and is
not an illusion (if there's something left over once all mental contents have been removed), then the self
would be truly at home in and a citizen of so to speak the realm of Being, which is to say, eternal being.

That medium which serves as the "ground of being" cannot be fully reconstituted through a cobbling
together of entities originally abstracted from this dynamic, creative and sustaining medium. Some
embedding and enabling context would be needed to fill in (flesh out, if you will) the aboriginally suppressed
details that constituted the original categories (read: "things") that one is seeking to cobble together into a
coherent whole.
If we are always in time and never separate in our being from its flow, that is, composed of this very flow that
also comprises the temporality of the outside world, then how indeed do we subjectively reckon time; how is
it possible for us to experience temporality at all, unless there is some component in us that itself resists this
flow?
Self-organization of matter is a symptom of the feedback of quantum entanglement in time.
Multidimensional temporality is experienced by the quantum uncertainties or by the virtual processes
composing them, and it is within Heisenberg uncertainty that timelike quantum entanglement has the
degree of freedom to act. Philip K. Dick might have speculated that we are all robots persisting in the
fantasy that we are human. In a sense this is the implication of the works of Baudrillard and Lacan, etc.
When listening to intelligible speech one is simultaneously subject and object, meaning that one reacts
simultaneously in two distinct ways, mechanical (and moronically) and insightfully. How are both
responses to speech reconciled on many distinct scales of behavior and action (in the sense of
spatiotemporal scale)? The function of this opposition is best understood through the concept of
discourse - like Campbell's religious images, discourse both limits and facilitates thought and experience.
Institutions and bureaucracies so utterly transcend the subjective rationality of the individual. Institutional
wisdom is both necessary and not necessary to the survival and vitality of a bureaucratic organization, c.f.,
Bohr's remarks about death of the previous generation of physicists being necessary to the "advancement"
of physics. The nature of language as nexus of otherwise irreconcilable contemporaneous speakers/
authors or generations of practitioners must account for the open-ness of institutionalized knowledge (as all
knowledge must be) to its being endlessly reprocessed without reaching exhaustion of its content, which is
both context-dependent and context-determinative.
All of the subjects of knowledge must be recast as the interpretation of these subjects of knowledge, e.g.,
history = interpretation of history, etc.
The distinction between "real" and "virtual" breaks down at the Planck scale. Spacetime is conjugate to
momentum-energy in QM and so it only makes sense that there should be this intimate connection between
space, time, matter and energy.
Concrete reality as interdimensional nexus. Because of consciousness, reality is necessarily simulation.
When you stop and think about it, interpersonal communication, particularly human speech is a bizarre
process based as it is on what can easily be made to appear a far fetched metaphysics.
Suppose the universe is a black hole (is of critical density so that spacetime is considered flat) that is
undergoing cosmological expansion. The mass of the universe must then increase as you pointed out ( I
suppose this increase is reckoned from infinity). If the density of the zero-point energy inside the hole is
decreasing while in interaction with the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, then during the time that an
energy fluctuation lasts the zero-point has every so slightly decreased and so not all of the energy borrowed
from the vacuum during the lifetime of the fluctuation need be paid back. So here to is a mass generation
mechanism. We now have the basis for a new equation of two time rates of change in mass one
cosmological and the other quantum. So the zero-point energy of the vacuum doesnt possess any inertial
mass until something is done with this energy (within the context of a curved spacetime, expanding or
contracting). This equation may perhaps point to some new physics or at least help reassure us that it is
only difference in vacuum energy density that are gravitational and inertially significant.
How is a series of vacuum fluctuations nonlocally connected fundamentally distinct from a series which is
simultaneous (the components of the series, one to another) only in a unique Lorentz frame? Does causal
connection transcend mere quantum correlation (somewhat contrary to the spirit of David Bohms
observations on the subject, perhaps). . . rather than being merely a subclass thereof in the sense of
exceeding the one-graviton, Planck mass virtual black hole limit?
In other words, can a set of nonlocally-connected quantum fluctuations only successfully model causality up
to but not including the one-graviton limit? The riddle of the would-be gravity and inertia of the quantum
vacuum, i.e., the cosmological constant riddle is intimately bound up with this consideration. Perturbation of
the action of the vacuum state that cannot be treated pertubatively, i.e., as a summation of plane waves
(non-interacting particles) is precisely the point at which spacetime is obliged to curve. Note that particle is
an ill-defined notion in strongly curved spacetimes. Rather than decoherence being an effect of gravitation,
it seems more logical to suppose that gravity is a special case of decoherence processes within the
quantum vacuum.
Because causal relationships are always describable in terms of sets of differential equations, these
relationships must be supposed to inhere within a continuously differentiable manifold of
determinate topological structure. Alterations in the topology of a continuously differentiable
manifold cannot be described by a set of differential equations definable on the original manifold.
This is why we do not expect that the energies of the submicroscopic topological fluctuations may
comprise a contribution to a gravitational source term in the Einstein field equations. A
supermanifold must ground the transformation of one topology into another nonequivalent
topology such that this topological inequivalence is ultimately reducible within the supermanifold
of higher order topological structure which remains constant throughout the lower order
topological transformation. The formalism of General Relativity is not equipped to describe such a
topological supermanifold.
This reminds us of attempts to ground the discontinuous change in the wavefunction which in
between measurements evolves deterministically according to the Schrdinger equation of motion
in terms of some nonlinear time-dependent version of the S-eqn.
Notice that the transformation of one topology into a nonequivalent one necessitates a breaching of
the original topological manifold introducing discontinuities which prevent the existence of any
bridge functions being defined mediating the transformation which possess continuous
differentiability. No consistent solutions to a given set of differential equations exists if the only
possible solutions are functions which are themselves not continuously differentiable. All
topological transformations must be described in terms of bridge functions which cannot be
defined on the manifolds being transformed and so all topological transformations must be
mediated from outside all manifolds of determinate topological structure taking part in the
topological transformations. Since a metric presupposes an embedding topological manifold,
geometrodynamic fluctuations in spacetime topology cannot be described within general relativity
theory. Nor should they collectively contribute to a single vacuum state possessing an inertial mass
equivalence, which we then need to account for in our attempts to solve the cosmological constant
riddle, i.e., non-gravitating quantum vacuum.
Projections of topological transformations in a given space onto a subspace may present the
appearance of non-topological transformations within the smaller space. If a chance event yields
meaning and significance, it is only because of a common, underlying (concrete) ground of the two
things connected. The truly concrete, that is, the ultimate ground of Being, cannot be divided, but
can only appear so. To entertain the notion of two separate grounds, themselves possessing no
underlying and still more ultimate ground connecting them in the sense of making them, one with
the other, (substantially) continuous, is to set up definitions in a manner which invites
self-contradiction. We know that the action by which the continuum of space and time are
constituted presupposes a kind of temporality, but one without scale or direction in which the
connectivity of the pre-phenomenal is internal but at once without boundaries. Just musing a little
here.
given a constant mass of particles in a volume, V with a collective mass, M in which this volume is uniformly
expanding, the density of the volume should decrease with the inverse cube. But if the particles are
themselves energy fluctuations continuously being created and destroyed and recreated and so on. . . ,
then we would expect that the number density of these fluctuations to decrease with the inverse cube as the
wavelengths of the particles stretch in accordance with the changing length scale dictated by the uniform
expansion of the space in which the fluctuations continually occur. These fluctuations collectively are the
vacuum zero-point field, which thusly decreases with the inverse fourth power with uniform expansion of the
volume containing this vacuum energy.
Now if the vacuum energy constitutes the calibration 0 against which the collective mass of massive
particles contained within the expanding volume is to always be reckoned, then the mass density
(something were for the time being assuming is different from the vacuum energy density) should
effectively decrease with the inverse square (just as in the case of an expanding black hole). To wit, the
density of particles decreases with the inverse cube and the vacuum energy against which the mass of the
massive particles is measured decreases with the inverse fourth power.
Intuitively it is easy to see that a very long lived, long wavelength vacuum fluctuation shall be stretched by
the expansion somewhat during the lifetime of the fluctuation and so when its energy is paid back to the
collective vacuum state, not as much energy has to be paid back as was originally borrowed when the
vacuum fluctuations began - in order to satisfy the Heisenberg uncertainty principle and energy
conservation.
Where did the component of energy go that didnt have to be paid back? It went into the creation of
additional mass of the massive particles participating in the overall cosmological expansion. This is how I
reconcile the two types of mass increase so as to show that they are one and the same, just looked at from
opposite ends of the telescope, if you will, quantum versus cosmological. The black hole mass-radius
relationship then may be just the natural outcome, cosmologically of a closed expanding spacetime.
Pushing together a lot of mass through the Pauli Exclusion Principle for fermions and the Pauli Inclusion
Principle for bosons in the extreme case recapitulates this cosmological structure, when the increasing
mass density (as more and more mass is piled together within smaller and smaller volume) causing the
collapsing mass to effect a continual local reduction (within the decreasing volume of the collapsing mass)
in the vacuum energy within the decreasing volume and against which the collapsing mass energy must be
continually recalibrated so that the mass relativistically increases, eventually forming a local (as opposed to
a global black hole).

Subject: Mobius loops and entanglement
Hi Russ,
Now, let's say that we "create" two entangled particles or photons. Must the two particles now
"catch a ride" on two "chain-linked" Mobius loops, each heading off in different "directions?" Or
do the particle potentials occupy the entire "linked" double Mobius loop? That is the only way
I can see "quantum teleportation of state" to another particle across the universe. These linked
Mobius loops would have to be in existence BEFORE the two photons happen to catch a ride on
it in order to explain observed quantum entanglement phenomenon.
This makes sense to me because the creation of local quantum entanglement probably comes
about through tapping preexistent global quantum entanglement such that probability and
quantum entanglement and information is conserved. However, information is not conserved for
quantum entanglement involving superpositions of quantum states that are separated by more
than a Planck mass this would correspond to the superposition of distinct quantum vacua, which
is absolutely ruled out in quantum field theory you can only do this within the very limited
boundary conditions set by the locally prevailing Heisenberg energy uncertainties. But within the
bounds set by quantum uncertainty, I would agree that local quantum entanglement is created by
borrowing from preexistent global quantum entanglement, i.e., quantum entanglement of states of
the same vacuum state, i.e., of quantum entangled vacua with an energy spread smaller than a
Planck mass. In this way, causality is exhaustively described in terms of quantum correlations of
quantum fluctuations (within the self-same vacuum state).
During noncoherent photon production by electron cascade, such as in an ordinary light bulb,
only about 2 in 10^11 photons created by the light bulb are considered entangled with one
another. Are these linked loops then relatively "rare" or must the lucky entangled photon pair
have special properties in order to "catch a ride" on two linked Mobius loops? Maybe it is both
of those possibilities!
The special property is both photons derived from the same vacuum state, i.e., they are
entangled because they are both entangled with the same vacuum state to begin with. I suppose
some kind of dimensionless ratio, say of two different vacuum energy densities (cosmological
constant divided by Planck density in the extreme case!) might come into play in calculating the
probability of two photons - of a given wavelength, separated by a certain spacetime interval
between the two quantum uncertain spacetime points at which created, being 100% quantum
correlated.
Now, I imagine an atom. I can envision the atom as many nested fractal Mobius loops all
interconnecting with one another so that everything in the atom is "self-entangled." Now,
would the Pauli exclusion principle mean that only one loop can be occupied by two electrons
at a time with opposite "spins?" In this case, the spin would just be a result of which of two
directions the respective electrons are moving within the loop.
Yes, that smacks of good common sense/intuition. I buy that idea.
Now, spontaneous fission of the nucleus occurs and must surely cause a "breaking" of about
half of the loops from one another (although fission products of the original nucleus are
thought to remain entangled for a brief period of time). What makes the nucleus unstable? Is
there a "loose end" of a broken Mobius loop flying in the vacuum flux breeze which when
tugged causes the original nucleus to "unravel" into two nuclei?
Distinct topologies cannot be grounded in the very same spacetime. Clearly open and closed
loops possess distinct topology, just as twisted and non-twisted loops possess distinct
topologies. Distinct topologies then cannot be superposed and any superposition of quantum
states that threatens branching into to two or more topologies for the system shall collapse under
its own weight, if you will. This is not an answer, but a consideration in relation to your question.
Benni Reznik has a lot to say about vacuum nonlocality and Lorentz transformations of entanglement. You
diagram makes sense if, instead of Lorentz transformations, you think in terms of progressively greater
accelerations, from say Hc (Hubbles constant time the speed of light), that is to say, the cosmological
acceleration to the Planck acceleration. Id really like to try the dowsing experiment, by the way. And make
sure and borrow a timepiece tied to an atomic clock signal and establish some kind of synched up
communication link with Dr. Desbrandes when you guys do your entanglement experiment.
There should be an equivalence between the so called one graviton limit, i.e., Planck mass in the
complexity of vacuum fluctuations and the complexity of what can be teleported nonlocally between points
A and B. Since to escape the speed of light restriction on propagation of energy of the specific kind
discussed by Einstein, which is to say energy that possesses inertia, we need a chain of merely correlated
(though causally independent), that is, quantum correlated vacuum fluctuations along the entire trajectory
to support the passage of the energy or information that shall therefore propagate without inertial effect.
Each individual quantum fluctuation nonlocally correlated to its neighbor in the chain forming this trajectory
would therefore be below the one graviton limit or cutoff. This would also serve as a natural limit on the
degree of quantum correlation of one quantum fluctuation of the vacuum and its immediate neighbor within
the trajectory of nonlocally propagating information/energy. The cosmological constant problem being
solved on this view through both current density of quantum correlation and density of quantum coherence
(of each individual quantum fluctuation) being held below this same Planck mass or Penrosian one graviton
limit.
Inertial mass is thus seen as being intimately related to a kind of symmetry breaking of the quantum vacuum
involving fluctuations in this vacuums stress-momentum-energy becoming classically correlated on top of
being maximally quantum correlated (or more generally, where the sum of the densities and current
densities of classical + quantum information exceeding the one graviton limit in the cases of quantum
fluctuation and quantum teleportation, respectively) and so inertial mass is then entirely a function of
classical information and therefore exclusively an artifact of distinctly classical as opposed to distinctly
quantum physics. There is a coincidence between the definition of a classical black hole (in terms of escape
velocity of a body being equal to the speed of light, c.f., LaPlacian black holes) with the definition of a
quantum black hole in the sense of yielding identical Schwarzchild black hole equations. The quantum
black hole must be analyzed in terms of this conservation of entanglement concept of ours. . . say where
quantum entanglement shifts from a mixture of spacelike and timelike to being exclusively spacelike, c.f.,
spin-0 fermion-antifermionic fluctuations vs. spin-1 bosonic fluctuations.

Don't know why I didn't realize this earlier, but a fermion rotated 360 degrees only goes round a
Mobius loop once and has to go around *twice* in order to reach its originally orientation. I
believe the Mobius twist is in the four space that the universe is expanding into. Take a strip of
paper and make a Mobius strip by doing a half twist of the ends and taping them together. If a cut
out of a tracing of a hand, say a left hand is slid along the Mobius strip loop one cycle, it comes out
mirror reversed and must be slid around one more cycle on the Mobius strip or loop to come back
to its original orientation in *3 dimensions*, this even thought the cut out and strip are two
dimensional. But the Mobius strip has to be twisted through 3 dimensions to be constructed. So by
analogy (adding a dimension) the rotation of the fermion by 720 degrees is analogous, but one
must add one dimension so that the rotation takes place in four space. So rotating a fermion with a
magnetic field by only 360 degrees must secretly be taking the fermion through a Mobius twist in
four dimensional space. I think in this way the timelike nature of the fermion-antifermion pair can
be proven and such a spin 0 vacuum fluctuation proven to be also purely timelike. My google
search link (above) demonstrates that no one has really remarked about this - as the link produced
"0 hits". Seems so obvious now though, right? So the existence of 4d-spacetime can be seen as
proof of a pure 4d space as well, once quantum statistics of fermions is taken into account. What do
you think? (How your face looks in your driver's license picture, for example wouldn't match with
how you look in a mirror unless you were sent through this same 320 Mobius loop, by the way -
hehe!)

There is a camp of molecular biologists who claim that the DNA/RNA/Protein system that
currently exists ad even that of the earliest most primitive kind is/was possessed of an "irreducible
complexity", e.g., mousetrap. Like the net of Indra there had to be a kind of simultaneously
arising of the entire system at some critical level of initial complexity. This may seem to suggest
that the complexity of simple coherent biochemical systems must be abstractions from the top
down rather than "concretions" from the bottom up. This is similar to the notion of how the mind
of Man descended from the transcendent through progressive limitation rather than upward from
the immanent through a building up from combinations of the simplest components of matter, C,
H, O, N, etc.

There should be some kind of simple trig function of the angle of alignment (such as cosine of a
double angle, etc.) of the virtual electron and positron spins in the virtual Cooper pair that could be
an index of the degree of quantum entanglement of anticorrelation of the two spin-1/2's.

The fact of the orientation of spin of a spin-1/2 particle being dependent upon the observer's choice
of reference frame (in the sense of the choice of magnetic field direction) and indeterminate
otherwise (unless you happen to have some classical information bits from a previous incarnation
of the system, that is) is somehow importantly connected with relativity.

We of course must not lose sight of the peculiarity of the antisymmetry of the fermionic
wavefunction when trying to picture the relative spatial orientation ( in the sense of relative mutual
rotation of the spin +/- 1/2 of the electron and positron composing the same Cooper pair.) That
is, if we are going to look for some spatial analogue for entanglement of spins, what we have
termed "magnetization entanglement". Remember that you must rotate a fermion 720 degrees to
get back the wavefunction you started with.

A positron is an electron moving backward in time, suppose. So what's the minimum spacetime
rotation for the electron and the positron which gives back the composite spin-0 particle (Cooper
pair) with which one started?

Mighte the physical remains as mere vacuum field initial and boundary conditions become
entangled with the general boundary conditions of the larger environemnt, while the spectrum of
vacuum fields with which the deceased person's brain once typically resonated and quantum
entanglement must simply continue in the absence of those specific boundary conditions
contituted by the person's quantum microtubule network? We should associate the structures of
consciousness with the particular spectra of vacuum fields, which themselves probably have
always been entangled to some degree with the vacuum at large.

Momentum-energy is conserved and there are quantum numbers for momentum and energy, but
spacetime as the complementary quantitiey, I suspected has no quantum number, i.e., it's not a
conserved quantity and so, without a quantum of spacetime, we should not expect gravitons (or
gravity waves, for that matter) to exist. Besides, we have spin-1/2 and spin-1, which is all we
need to maek particles of spin-0, spin-3/2 and spin-2, etc. There's no need for a fundamental
spin-2 particle. Nature's conservative in that way.

Well, it looks like the relationships of polarization, P, magnetization, M and permittivity and
permeability are just right, if you assume 0 magnetic and electric field stengths for the vacuum,
i.e., <E> and <B> = 0 for vacuum (which seems reasonable) to support the idea of fermionic and
bosonic entanglement being two different forms of a generalized quantum entanglement which is
conserved. Entanglement conservation is probably more fundamental than mrere probability
conservation, since the exact quantum mechanical analogue for classical probability is sqrt[Psi x
Psi*] where Psi is pure state wavefunction, while the generalization of this quantity is of course the
density matrix where the phase relations of the components of the density matrix (and their
temporal evolution) represents the distribution of quantum entanglement in the statistically mixed
system.

By
prn=
Noether's theorem there should be an underlying symmetry for quantum entanglement (QE)
as a conserved quantity as well as a quantum number uniquely associated with QE. The
symmetry may turn out to be ordinary spacetime symmetry (but of a deeper kind than that pointed
up by mere momentum-energy vector or, stress-momentum-energy tensor). And of course the
quantum number associated with QE symmetry must be the inverse of von Neumann entropy,
which we'll call von Neumann information (in contrast to classical, digital or "Shannon
information"). "POLARIZATION VECTORS. In the theory of the electromagnetic field: two
vectors, P and M, given by P = D - eE and M = B/u - H, where D is the displacement, E the electric
field strength, B the magnetic induction, H the magnetic field strength, and e and u the permittivity
and permeability respectively in empty space." Dictionary of Physics (1980)

I wonder if we can take as general principle for making up gedanken experiments about possible
analogue (i.e., mechanical) models of gravitation the following: See what happens to physical
quantities in the vacuum when transforming to an accelerated reference frame and invoke
Einstein's equivalence principle (both principles, strong and weak, inertial mass = gravitational
mass and gravitation equivalent to acceleration) in order to propose just these types of changes to
these vacuum physical quantities as the underlying mechanism for sustaining a gravitational field.

Is the change in configuration energy of the vacuum fields that must adjust in some way when a
particle, such as a proton or muon is removed from the region of the vacuum? This is like
thinking of the particle's inertial mass in terms of the mass equivalence of the particle's vacuum
enthalpy.

Kind of like calculating the 1st order propagator/state of a particle as a 1st order manifestation of
the underlying vacuum field, by summing up all the 2nd order and all higher order corrections to
the propagator?

I kind of imagine the atoms composing any bit of matter, any mass as dynamically grouping
themselves into composite bosons and fermions through a continual mutual exchange of quantum
entanglement between these virtual "cells" and "domains" formed of arbitrary groupings of
entangled atoms that are continually reconstituting themselves so as to maintain a kind of
entanglement equilibrium, i.e., continual avoidance of squeezed states while maintaining overall
conservation of entanglement throughout the bulk of the mass. However, upon accleration,
squeezed states form but in accordance with a kind of action or minimization principle that
maintains a shifted thermodynamic equilibrium within the mass, i.e., some entropy is inevitably
produced by acceleration. (Reversibility of time-independent Schrodinger equation deterministic
evolution, forseable by the cosmic quantum vacuum CPU must break down, necessitating
decoherence processes) And the net bulk entanglement within the mass shifts from spin-0 to
spin-1 through a shift in the distrubution of entanglement, mimicking what would be expected for
a vacuum with equivalent gravitational potential (in terms of equivalent acceleration). A Rindler
horizon (as a generalization of an event horizon) forms and Davies-Unruh radiation is observed
that is consistent with the entropy of the newly formed Rindler horizon . . . whew! Of course, the
permeability and permittivity within the bulk matter also transform so that the speed of light within
the mass changes to reflect the new vacuum that the mass sees while under acceleration, and so on.
. .

I've been looking at this idea of the vacuum not gravitating. Force may be characterized as either
time rate of change in 3-momentum or as space rate of change in energy (timelike 4-momentum, if
your will). Notice that when a photon either falls into a gravitational potential or "climbs out" of
one that the ratios, /\p//\t and /\E//\x are constant, implying that the vacuum exerts no force on the
infalling or escaping photon.

Notice also that the photon's 4-momentum is unchanged though climbing out of a potential and
reshifting in the process. This s because the increase in the local velocity of light (i.e.,
acceleration of the photon) as the photon reaches regions of decreased potential (as the photon
climbs out) is exactly by the decrease in the photon's frequency - these act in opposing senses so
that the photon's 4-momentum is conserved.

I've also been thinking that the notion of Heisenberg uncertainty should be related more directly to
the idea of relative decoherence of the timelike, spin-0 (virtual Cooper pair creation-annihilation)
and spacelike, spin-1 (virtual boson exchanges within 3-space) components of the fluctuating
quantum vacuum in a changing gravitational potential. I think that an increased /\p (uncertainty
in 3-momentum) governing the decreased density of creation-annihilation of virtual Cooper pairs
within a strong gravitational potential could be interpreted as an increased internal decoherence of
the Cooper pairs' wavefunction (or density matrix) and the decreased /\E (uncertainty in imaginary
4-momentum) governing the increased density of virtual boson exchanges in this strong potential
could be interpreted as a decreased, i.e., increased coherence, hence entanglement of these virtual
bosons. This seems elegant and invites more systematic thought about H-uncertainty and its
relation to decoherence and entanglement in a gravitational potential relative to free space
spacetime.

Question: if an electron and a positron mutually annihilate, the pair of photons produced will have
perfect correlation of their polarizations, provided that the spins of the electron and positron were
perfectly entangled so as to be anti-parallel. If the entanglement of the + or _ 1/2 spin of the
electron and positron is 0, then the polarizations of the photons produced in the mutual annihilation
shall be completely decohered, correct? If I'm right, then wouldn't this support the idea of there
being a close relationship between entanglement of virtual Cooper pairs and virtual photons in a
gravitational field, at least in essence, you know, in terms of the whole conservation of
entanglement concept as applied to bosonic and fermionic vacuum fluctuations of
momentum-energy, c.f., http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron-positron_annihilation

A dielectric medium has a reduced velocity of light because of the continual absorption and
reemission of the photons as the photon passes through the medium. The decreased velocity of
light in a vacuum where a strong gravitational field is present might be understood in a similar
manner the electron-positron creation-annihilations are of lower density in a gravitational field
and so a photon must compensate by possessing a greater momentum uncertainty to bridge the gap
created by the reduced energy uncertainty of this gravitational potential infused vacuum.

Can you grant that the ratio of the Heisenberg energy uncertainty to the Heisenberg momentum
uncertainty, /\E//\p ~ c? How about that /\p and /\E together form a 4-vector of
momentum-energy uncertainty, which is Lorentz-invariant? (Note: we would expect in a
non-symmetric gravitational field for there to be a stress-momentum-energy uncertainty tensor,
nicht wahr?)

Can you grant that the exchange of virtual photons between two electrons constitutes a fluctuation
in the vacuums 3-momentum? It is also a fluctuation in the vacuums energy, but not of its
3-momentum? In this sense, the collective spin-0 fluctuations in the vacuums
momentum-energy are orthogonal to the spin-1 (3-vector) fluctuations in vacuum
momentum-energy.

But this orthogonality of spin-0 and spin-1 vacuum momentum-energy fluctuations only obtains
for the case of the so-called free space vacuum and constitutes a kind of quantum statistical basis
for spacetime symmetry.

By the way, since /\Q = E[<Q
2
> - <Q>
2
] with the first term under the radical being the fluctuation
term and the second the square of the expectation value of Q, it follows that in the absence of
matter, i.e., in vacuum, the Heisenberg uncertainty in Q, /\Q is identical to the fluctuation in Q.

Now lets ask what happens to the ratio, /\E//\p when viewed from an accelerated reference frame.

/\t dilates and /\x (in the direction of motion) contracts. Given that /\E/\p = h and /\p/\x = h, it
follows that from the perspective of an accelerated reference frame,

/\E contracts
and /\p dilates (gets larger)

The hypothesis here is that /\E and /\p mutually change when viewed from an accelerated frame of
reference so as to represent a spacetime rotation of /\E and /\p as components of a conserved
4-vector.

Now if /\E relativistically shrinks (remember in vacuum /\E is the fluctuation in the vacuums
energy) and the incompatible observable (parameter), /\t dilates, then this can be represented
consistently, I believe as a density of creation-annihilations for virtual Cooper pairs being reduced
and therefore the frequencies of temporal processes, which fundamentally depend upon
Heisenberg energy uncertainty must take place at a slower rate. Since /\E relativistically shrinks,
by what has already been said, /\p the fluctuation in the vacuums 3-momentum, must increase and
the density of virtual boson exchanges taking place within matter contained within this
transformed vacuum must therefore increase as well, leading to an increase in the binding energy
density of the mass, which is associated with a relativistically increase in mass.

The reason I identify /\E with timelike fluctuations is because /\t is an incompatible Heisenberg
uncertainty relative to /\E. And I interpret spin-0 (scalar) to be a timelike oriented vector, i.e.,
its really spin-1 though oriented parallel to the local time axis. I interpret spin-1 (3-vector) to be
a spacelike vector, its really spin-0, but oriented parallel to a spatial direction.

Therefore, the transformation of space and time, contraction and dilation, which occurs when
moving to an accelerated frame is paralleled by a transformation of 3-momentum and energy
(conceived of as timelike oriented momentum or imaginary momentum because of the
Minkowski (+,+,+,-) signature of spacetime). The transformation is otherwise known as a
Lorentz boost. Magnetic and electric fields mutually transform, magnetization and polarization
transform and the Heisenberg uncertainties in p and E, /\p and /\E transform after the fashion of a
spacetime rotation of 4-momentum (4-momentum uncertainty in this case).

The bulk properties of matter such as magnetization and polarization are entanglement driven and
so the transformation of entanglement caused by acceleration should cause a transformation of the
magnetic permeability and electric permittivity of the quantum vacuum through transforming the
equilibrium magnetization and polarization of the free space vacuum. This is suggested by
reviewing the basic formulas for polarization and magnetization,

P = D - cE; M = B H/O


Notice that an increasing polarization, P and a decreasing magnetization, M, which is to be
understood as a spacetime rotation (in accordance with the relativistic formulation of Maxwells
Equations). The question arises whether the expectation values of D and B, <D> and <B> in
free space vacuum are indeed 0.

The basis for the thermal temperature distribution for Davies-Unruh radiation is the increased
density of virtual boson exchange taking place between the bubbling virtual cooper pairs. Is the
source of the entropy associated with the Unruh temperature the increased disorder of the
previously (almost) perfectly antiparallel electron-positrons of each virtual cooper pair? In
perfectly flat spacetime, there would be no self-Pauli blocking and no virtual boson exchanges and
no initial and boundary conditions eternal universe of infinite size.

The limit on the size, i.e., mass of quantum fluctuations of the vacuum should determine the
limit on mass of quantum states that can be superposed. Vacuum boundary conditions, which
produce compound fluctuations, which cannot occur in the free space vacuum as simple
fluctuations may now be understood to be fluctuation structures in the vacuum and not simply
of the vacuum. It is at this stage in complexity where the system must be supposed to possess
some independent information content.

Can an event occur for two or more unrelated reasons similar to degeneracy in quantum
mechanics?

The imagination prompts us to form conceptions of things we could however conceived had we
not possessed the words not to describe but to trigger the network of otherwise consciously
inaccessible associations changes in consciousness necessarily go along with this polymath of
metaphor generation that is largely unconscious.

Magnetization of virtual Cooper pairs may be considered internal entanglement. External
entanglement of virtual pairs may be described in terms of polarization of the virtual photons of the
quantum vacuum.

There is a fundamental difference between command and execution that is not sufficiently
understood by proponents of hard AI (artificial intelligence).

If you count the number of Planck areas that fit on the surface of a black hole or radius, R and
apply Boltzmanns formula for entropy, considering each of these Planck areas to constitute a
single bit of information, then can you get the correct value for the Hawking temperature of the
hole in this way?

I tend to think that all of the holes information content is contained on its surface, where the
timelike collective spin-0 imaginary momentum fluctuations (in the form of creation-annihilation
of Cooper pairs) has been completely transformed into spacelike 3-momentum fluctuations in the
form of virtual photons promoted to being real photons radiated from the holes shrinking surface
as black body radiation. Each photon emitted from the hole is purely thermal because
representing the mutual annihilation of positron-electron pairs whose mutual spin-1/2 orientations
have become totally disentangled. Although the electromagnetic spectrum of the holes
emission is that of a black body, i.e., perfectly thermal, all of the entanglement information lost
from the total decoherence of the virtual electron-positron pairs created and annihilated at the
holes event horizon is retained in the polarization entanglement of the photons emitted from the
holes event horizon. (This is our idea of quantum entanglement in the vacuum being a
conserved quantity, relating via Noethers theorem to some symmetry I insist this symmetry is
quantum statistical in nature and is closely connected with spacetime symmetry itself. This is
consistent with maximal red-shifting of the holes thermal photon emissions (Hawking radiation)
as viewed at infinity (where the holes potential = 0) and also consistent with a photon falling into
the hole from infinity being infinitely blue-shifted. All of the entanglement of in-falling
photons with the progressively more entangled virtual photons of the vacuum e/m fluctuations that
lie ever closer to the holes event horizon in the sense of DeBroglie wave contraction with
progressive virtual photon entanglement in the vacuum progressively closer to the holes event
horizon.

Well look at the surface of a black hole as the extreme case where decoherence, entropy and time
dilation all occur together. When a virtual Cooper pair is spontaneously created just this side of
the event horizon, one component of the pair, lets say in this case a positron, falls into the hole and
its partner, the leftover electron, must mutually annihilate with another positron from an altogether
different virtual Cooper pair that is also spontaneously created locally (relative to the un-partnered
electron) and just this side of the event horizon this represents 100% decoherence of the original
Cooper pair in the sense of all entanglement information seemingly having been lost with the
partner fermion that fell into the black hole.

The entanglement information is really conserved and comes out of the mutual annihilation of the
leftover partner virtual electron with the new virtual positron that was created as part of the newly
created virtual Cooper pair. If spin-0 in free space spacetime is understood as timelike spin-1,
then this same spin-0 particle becomes spacelike spin-1 very near the surface of the black hole.
This is because space and time axes actually swap with one another between infinity (free space)
and the surface of the black hole.

That magnetization entanglement gets encoded in the form of the photon-antiphoton pair that
results from this new pairs annihilation. The photon-antiphoton pair is 100% Bose condensed
and is therefore really a single photon, which is also entangled with all of the virtual photons
presently (within /\t, which is virtually infinite at the event horizon, c.f., holographic principle)
radiated from the black holes surface (event horizon). I believe this because I believe that there
is maximal virtual photon Bose condensation at the black holes surface.

As the two photons (now condensed into a single photon) radiate thermally from the holes surface
in the form of Hawking radiation, this polarization entanglement (of all the photons radiated from
the holes surface along with our particular condensed photon around which our discussion is
centered) will eventually be returned to the vacuum as progressive magnetization entanglement of
virtual electron-positron pairs along the photons trajectory from the holes surface to infinity.
There will be a 90
o
spacetime rotation in the photon traveling from the holes event horizon to
infinity. The spin-1 photon becomes spin-0 at infinity and is once again a virtual Cooper pair
being successively created and annihilated.

Also at infinity all of the polarization entanglement of the propagating Hawking radiation photons
has been lost back to the vacuum in the form of a trail of enhanced vacuum magnetization
entanglement of the virtual Cooper pairs that composed the trajectory of the photons in the form of
2
nd
order propagators for the escaping photons. Note that in moving from the surface of a black
hole to infinity, the light cone tips back from its time axis oriented towards the holes center to
being oriented away from the holes center. This represents a rotation of 180 degrees in space,
but is in fact only a mutual rotation of the light cones space and time axes of 90 degrees! The
oscillating electric and magnetic fields which compose a photon are 90 degrees out of phase with
one another.

Ive often thought that the fact that you have to rotate a fermion by 720
o
to get the original fermion
wavefunction back is connected with the fact that there is a 360
o
spacetime rotation of the photons
spin in taking the photon from infinity to the surface of a black hole and back again?

That magnetization entanglement gets encoded in the form of the photon-antiphoton pair that
results from this new pairs annihilation. The photon-antiphoton pair is 100% Bose condensed
and is therefore really a single photon, which is also entangled with all of the virtual photons being
at that moment radiated from the black holes surface (event horizon). I believe this because I
believe that there is a maximal virtual photon Bose condensation at the black holes surface.

As the two photons (now condensed into a single photon) radiate thermally from the holes surface
in the form of Hawking radiation, this polarization entanglement (of all the photons radiated from
the holes surface along with our particular condensed photon around which our discussion is
centered) will eventually be returned to the vacuum as progressive magnetization entanglement of
virtual electron-positron pairs along the photons trajectory from the holes surface to infinity.
There will be a 90 degree spacetime rotation in the photon traveling from the holes event horizon
to infinity (free space spacetime, or vacuum). The spin-1 photon becomes spin-0 at infinity
and is once again a virtual Cooper pair being successively created and annihilated.

Ive often thought that the fact that you have to rotate a fermion 720 degrees to get the original
fermion wavefunction back is connected with the fact that there is a 360 degree spacetime rotation
of the photons spin in taking the photon from infinity to the surface of a black hole and back
again?

By examining kinematic effects upon Heisenberg uncertainties and quantum entanglement of
Lorentz transformations, i.e., special relativity, we can via application of Einsteins equivalence
principle make perhaps less than misguided guesses at the fluctuation-correlation structure of the
gravitating quantum vacuum. We should measure the relative decoherence of the e
+
e
-
, i.e.,
spin-0 and --, i.e., spin-1 components of the vacuum in terms of the relative magnitude of /\E
and /\p. In a gravitational potential an infalling or escaping photon feels no force because
both ratios, /\E//\x and /\p//\t are unchanging along the photons trajectory. The ratios, /\E//\p
and /\x/\t do however change along two ratios change in opposite sense.

In other words, the changing local velocity of light increases as the photon climbs up the
gravitational potential at the same time as the length in the direction of the photons propagation
expands which the photons frequency (as opposed to period) dilates. The photon accelerates as
its frequency decreases. In this manner is the photons 4-momentum conserved though
propagating through a change in gravitational potential. To relate relative decoherence to spin-0
and spin-1 vacuum fluctuations, we must examine the /\E of 3-momentum fluctuations vs. the /\p
of energy fluctuations, i.e., timelike p-uncertainty of spacelike momentum fluctuations and
spacelike p-uncertainty of timelike momentum fluctuations.

Instead of spin and angular momentum, J = L + S, lets look at the underlying phase space within
which J is interpreted as a 1-form and relate spacetime curvature to curvature of phase space.
What about the relationship of N-dimensional configuration space to phase space which is in turn
related to entanglement distribution and squeezed states, say of an extended coupled harmonic
oscillator/crystal? Look at helicity of annihilating e

Barry Setterfield proposes that the ZPE, zero-point energy of the vacuum is the residual energy
from the Big Bang, inflation, etc. If there is some dynamic energetic process distributed
throughout the cosmos, which is decaying or otherwise changing with time, and this process
affects the manner of lights propagation, then we are likely to incorrectly estimate the variables
entering into the equation describing this process if indeed we depend on information about the
nature of light that is our only observational indicator of how this process is unfolding.

Davies-Unruh temperature is 0 for inertially in-falling particles such as photons. One kind of

How much energy does it take to convert a gas of spin-1 bosons, e.g., photons into a gas of
collective spin-0 Cooper pairs (100% quantum anti-correlated spins)?

Hyperentanglement the superposition of all superpositions the context of all possible
superpositions. Hyperentanglement is quantum entanglement that cannot be decohered by even
infinite acceleration.

Heuristics are necessary because learning and communication, even memory are always constructs

Dont wait for the experience to be past before it becomes a memory. This is an almost

Classical information is a subset of quantum information. So when I receive information from
someone and my brain processes the sensory data carrying this information, my brain as a quantum
computer simply changes its state of quantum entanglement with the quantum vacuum field with
which its neural microtubules are in continual interaction. In this way, it is realized that I havent
actually received any information from the other person at all. Ive just received a set of
instructions for downloading, if you will the appropriate nonlocally encoded signals that we might
suppose were already there in the vacuum for perhaps a very long time and the circuits of my
microtubule network have only just now been returned so as to receive them. The question
arises as to whether the signals had to be originally put there by anybody (maybe by the person
from whom I received the communication).

Viewing a dielectric slab from the standpoint of an accelerated reference frame, not only the
polarization and magnetization of the slab, but also the electric permittivity and magnetic
permeability transform. Polarization and magnetization quantum entanglement of
spontaneously created and annihilated virtual photons and virtual fermion-antifermion pairs also
undergo a continuum of Lorentz transformations.

At the event horizon of the black hole, an 100% swap has occurred of quantum entanglement of
spin-1/2 composite of virtual composite spin-0 Cooper pairs (what might be termed magnetization
entanglement) into the 100% polarization entanglement of virtual photons (photon pairs?).

Rotating Clock Puzzle when an apparent paradox stems from logic that is not thorough-going
enough (this, however turned out not to be the case where Goedels Paradox was concerned).
What was Goedels paradox, c.f., Wikipedia.org. The square end table clock reads, 6:15.
Turn the clock 90

clockwise and it now reads 9:30, then turn the clock clockwise another 90
o

and the clock reads 12:45. Turning the clock another 90
o
clockwise and the clock reads 3:00.
Turn it once more and the clock once again reads 6:15. This gives us a total of 13 hours.
This is the paradox, which is easily enough solved when you realize that the hour hand is
accumulating a retardation in its clockwise progression around the clock face of 15 minutes per
turn.

Can an idea which has no author, e.g., is stumbled upon by many independently of one another be
a valuable spiritual teaching? When the density of virtual Cooper pairs is produced and (to
conserved entanglement the density of virtual bosons is relatively enhanced we have a case in
which a smaller density of changes in energy in controlling a larger density of changes in
3-momentum responsible for binding forces accounting for matters rigidity and inertia). Except
for masses approaching black hole density, most of the 4-momentum of the mass remains
imaginary and timelike. Time dilation and relativistic mass can be seen to be intimately related
in terms of this cellular automata (CA) analogue model for GR. Should this CA model best be
simulated on a classical or quantum computer?

Self-Pauli blocking of spontaneously created and annihilated virtual Cooper pairs (partially
decohered in the sense of impaired magnetization entanglement) within the fluctuating quantum
vacuum constitutes perhaps the suppression of timelike quantum correlations of otherwise pure
imaginary 4-momentum fluctuations. In this way quantum entanglement of timelike
fluctuations in vacuum momentum-energy is transferred to quantum entanglement of spacelike
fluctuations in vacuum momentum-energy. By the way, the speed of light would be infinite in
the case of 100% magnetization entanglement of the spontaneously created/annihilated virtual
Cooper pairs. Magnetic permeability and permittivity represent the bulk electromagnetic
properties of he quantum vacuum that are owing to the relative polarization and magnetization
entanglement of virtual bosons and virtual Cooper pairs continually and spontaneously created
within the vacuum on account of the Heisenberg momentum and energy principles.

If the photon spends part of its time as an electron-positron pair, then we might suppose that the
wavefunction describing such electron-positron pairs is identical with the vector potential of the
propagating photon. As the photon falls into a gravitational potential it is entering a vacuum
of progressively greater density of 3-momentum fluctuations, i.e., virtual photons with which
therefore the photon increasingly interacts, meaning also progressive decoherence of the
wavefunction of the photon or of its vector potential A
u
. This decoherence is manifest as
increased entanglement of the falling photon with the succession of virtual photons along the
photons trajectory. There is an associated increased mutual disentanglement of the virtual
electron-positron pairs (that is, of each virtual pairs component electron and positron parts) along
the photons trajectory (and which constitute the timelike component of the photons propagator.)
This may be alternately seen as the photon encountering, as it falls within the gravitational
potential, a quantum vacuum that is progressively more polarized and less magnetized. This
leads us to believe that the photon falling into the gravitational potential also enters a vacuum of
progressively decohered virtual Cooper-paired electron-positrons. Note that the more decohered
are the virtual Cooper pairs (in the sense of loss of mutual quantum correlation of the pairs
component electron and positron parts), the less do the virtual electron and positron components of
the Cooper pair exist as pure collective spin-0 (the spins of the electrons and positrons belonging to
the same Cooper pair are no longer precisely anti-parallel or 100% quantum anti-correlated) and so
there should be an enhanced self-Pauli blocking of virtual fermions/anti-fermions continuously
being created and annihilated (and recreated and re-annihilated) by the quantum vacuum (at each
spacetime point along the photons trajectory), that is, relative to the case of the free space vacuum.
The increased mutual entanglement of the virtual photons along the path of the in-falling photons
trajectory, which accounts for the gravitational blueshift of the in-falling photon through the
change in DeBroglie wavelength of the entangled virtual photons, by the way may be understood
as Bose condensation. Increased Bose condensation of (spin-1) virtual photons in conjunction
with increased Pauli blocking of (spin-0) virtual Cooper pairs goes hand in hand with a shift in the
density of the vacuums momentum-energy fluctuations from less timelike, imaginary momentum
fluctuations toward more spacelike 3-momentum fluctuations. You can also look at this shift in
momentum-energy components of the vacuums momentum-energy fluctuation matrix along the
path of increasing gravitational potential as the photon experiencing a vacuum of increasing
polarization and decreasing magnetization. Hmmmm. . .

Hypotheses of my theory, which are not established by prior art:

Imaginary momentum fluctuations are collective spin-0 100% quantum anti-correlated virtual spin

.
When /\E > /\E, then /\E//\p < /\E//\p such that c < c
vacuo
means in terms sf the quantum noise in
photonics model that less imaginary momentum fluctuations control more real or 3-momentum
fluctuations. A reduced speed of light locally means that, locally virtual bosons are becoming
more highly correlated and imaginary momentum fluctuations, less correlated. Photon
trajectories in a gravitational field represent a conserved quantum entanglement and hence, a
conserved Heisenberg uncertainty.

Maybe there is a quantum information treatment of the old LeSage analogue theory of gravity,
which can explain the effect of bulk matter upon the vacuum in terms of disrupting the quantum
entanglement of the spin +/- components of virtual Cooper pairs, e.g., electrons, muons,
neutrinos, etc. If the quantum correlation of say virtual e
-
e
+
s within a given small volume of
quantum vacuum is essentially nonlocal though at the same time this nonlocal quantum correlation
were locally mediated, then we might expect some sort of inverse-square law of the distribution of
these correlations in terms of the local distribution of matter. What should we expect to happen
to the density matrix describing a real Cooper pair, which falls into a say neutron stars
gravitational potential? It is the belief here that what happens to this density matrix over time, as
the pair falls toward the neutron star is just a reflection of changes that a comoving observer would
observe for the density matrix describing virtual Cooper pair creation-annihilation along the
trajectory of the falling real Cooper pair. In other words, gravity does not alter the QM statistics
of vacuum fluctuations, but rather matter does this, and the altered QM vacuum statistics is what
itself constitutes the gravitational field.

Tom Van Flandern notes the following in his
http://www.metaresearch.org/cosmology/speed_of_gravity.asp that The rubber sheet analogy is
represented as a way of visualizing why bodies attract one another. However, in that regard, it is
highly defective. A target body sitting on the side of an indentation would stay in place, with no
tendency to roll downhill, unless there were already a force such as gravity underneath the rubber
sheet pulling everything downhill. And this failure of the analogy helps us identify the precise
problem with the curved space-time description of gravity the lack of causality. Without
consideration of why a target body is induced to accelerate through space, and how quickly it
receives updates of information about how to accelerate through space, neither the space-time
curvature explanation nor the rubber sheet analogy can help us understand why gravity appears to
act so much faster than light.

Spacetime curvature must be interpreted in terms of
differential rates of cosmological expansion of a four dimensional Euclidean spatial manifold.
The the question arises of how we describe the cosmological expansion of this 4d manifold from
observation vantage points represented by different inertial frames of reference? Would this
additional consideration necessitate a treatment of the problem in terms of a five dimensional
absolute spacetime?

If causality is a subset of correlation, just a particular structure of vacuum fluctuations and their
quantum correlations/entanglement, then perhaps the transmission of all Shannon (classical)
information is secretly encoded as Von Neumann (quantum) information in the form of quantum
correlations, both timelike and spacelike.

One who appears mad if acting alone almost assuredly is mad. But the seeming mad fellow may
indeed be acting thus in concert with others and in support of some group purpose so that
appearances can be deceiving.

If quantum entanglement is viewed as the lines of quantum communication/information flow
(governing the spacelike and timelike quantum correlation of vacuum fluctuations in vacuum
momentum-energy) when viewing matter + vacuum as a quantum computing simulation, then for
example, time dilation due to gravity may be understood in terms of decrease in quantum
entanglement in time with associated increase in quantum entanglement in 3-space such that
entanglement in (3 + 1) spacetime is a conserved quantity, c.f., Sachs concept of conservation of
interaction.

Are the latest ad hoc innovations of astrophysics
represented by dark matter and dark energy better understood in terms of Diracs or Dickes
notion of a spatiotemporally varying gravitational constant? Actually, a good theory of
induced gravity should provide a unified explanation of all of the astrophysical/cosmological
anomalies, e.g., dark matter, dark energy, discrete cosmological redshift, vanishing cosmological
constant, Pioneer anomaly, the Black Hole Information Paradox, time-varying speed of light and
gravitational constant, in addition to explaining what is fast becoming the embarrassing failure
to detect gravitational waves, the persistent failure to quantize gravity, i.e., no spin-2 graviton, as
well as demonstrating that the search for a particular exchange boson as the basis for particle
masses/inertia is a fundamentally misguided one. And a theoretical explanation for a small
neutrino mass should fall out of the theory as an unintended bonus. Whether such a theory could
shed light on Van Flanderns speed of gravity conundrum is another matter. Such an induced
gravity theory has to be spin- or quantum statistics-based, we think, because quantum statistics is
in fact the broadest possible basis for describing fundament physical processes. We say this
because Bohms causal principle (which states that all causal connections may be equivalently
recast as correlations of quantum vacuum fluctuations) would in this case allow us to explain the
dynamics of all change, both local and nonlocal. Of course, as alluded to already, Bohms causal
principle is actually a special case of a broader quantum fluctuation-correlation principle.

The component of quantum entanglement that is ineradicable, i.e., that component that does not
vanish even under infinite accelerations, must be fundamentally different than the much larger
component of entanglement that degrades under uniform accelerations. This ineradicable
component of quantum entanglement is probably that which never enters into intersubjective
processes, but is responsible for the binding of mental contents and of the integrity of the
individual consciousness in general. It is also that component which can never be analyzed in
terms of causal relations such that the class of fluctuations and correlations that were created at the
Big Bang is necessarily larger than that class of fluctuations and correlations that became
nonlocally connected at this beginning point. Each individual consciousness is grounded in its own
spectrum of nonlocally connected vacuum fluctuations. But there are fundamentally two distinct
types of quantum correlated vacuum fluctuations, those which provide the ground of subjectivity,
i.e., consciousness and those that provide the underlying ground of causal relations or potential
causal relations. It is in the realm of potential causal relations where we have this interdomain of
the two types of nonlocally correlated fluctuations.

Paradoxically, it is the fact of the Heisenberg uncertainty principles being an ontological rather
than an epistemological principle, which grants quantum systems their ontological observer
independence.

Strict causality must be compromised within an expanding spacetime where either vacuum energy
or phase space are not conserved quantities, c.f., email to Dan Van Gent concerning origin of

E & M can be seen to be incompatible observables through application of /\x/\p >= h to the case of

Random field of quantum fluctuations averages to zero, but what if correlations are introduced into

CMB radiation be an artifact of quantum entanglement mediated Unruh radiation? After all, it
has been determined of late that the cosmological expansion is not uniform, but rather is

The artists urge to create trusts in there being many like himself though in latent form, asleep and

In the case of inertial motion there is a symmetry that implies that creation and annihilation are
balanced. Here causal relations are based in coherent quantum relations and are based in
coherent quantum correlations of vacuum fluctuations. In the case of non-inertial motion, there is
some decoherence of quantum correlations (phase relations) of vacuum (fermionic) fluctuations.
Higher order noninertial motions would appear as though originating altogether from outside
spacetime. Irreducible complexity of noninertial motions within spacetime would have this
appearance of originating from outside the spacetime. Collapse of Psi may be mediated via a

According to the Southern Baptist doctrine of election, man is not capable of choosing God for the
right reasons he can only choose God for the pleasures of heaven and/or in order to escape the
agonies of hell. In the vein of modern psychology, this is to say that mans choice of God is
structured as mere stimulus-response born of a mechanical or instinctive animal program of
minimizing pain and maximizing pleasure. Man cannot choose God for moral reasons. This
leaves open the question of whether Man can reject God for moral reasons, that is, for reasons of
conscience, e.g., a conscientious objector in war. The validity of the Bible as a message from the
transcendent and wholly other, that is, as not stemming from Man himself is vouchsafed by the
doctrine of election.

Essay idea: The Lesson of the Wavefunction

The individual particle behaves just like the statistical ensemble. Real particles sufficiently
isolated behave as though virtual until placed under continual observation.

The vacuum becomes progressively more electrically polarized and less magnetized, but can this
be understood in terms of increases in both the magnetic permeability and electric permittivity and
not due to specific electromagnetic action but as a side effect of changing the timelike and
spacelike components of quantum correlations in bosonic and fermionic quantum fluctuations?

If experimentally measured particle masses are due to the energies of these particles as excitations
of the vacuum Hamiltonian, then particle mass defined in this manner may only be consistent with
the inertial mass of the particle (as reluctance of the vacuum Hamiltonian to become progressively
excited along a spacetime trajectory) if the unperturbed vacuum possessing spacetime symmetry
be composed of bosonic and fermionic fluctuations which together cancel out to some vanishingly
small value for a cosmological constant representing the local effect upon the vacuum of global
gravitation. What follows is a reprint from elsewhere in this document: Ziad, I thought that on
a Friday, I'd give you something to puzzle over.

OK, you begin accelerating in a spaceship along the x-direction. Question: does this affect the
velocity of the ship along the y- or z-directions? Well, normally in a "vacuum" the answer is
"no." However, imagine for a moment that the spaceship is accelerating through what we might
term here an "active medium", say a medium able to induce drag where the amount of drag is
governed by a kind of stress-strain-shear medium resistance tensor. And how the medium is
interconnected between x- with y- and z-directions would determine the resistance put up by the
medium as a result of a body's acceleration through the medium along the x-direction.

Well, think about how as an object accelerates, it travels ever slower through time, the faster it
moves through space. Space and time in so-called "free space" are mutually perpendicular so how
can accelerating along the x-direction in space cause a deceleration along the ict-direction?

(Just think about how the range of a projectile can be calculated without explicit reference to the
acceleration of gravity which is always perpendicular to the forward momentum of the projectile
down range. )

Unless "free space" isn't "free" at all, but is part of an intrinsically "warped" spacetime. This is a
Machian idea of course that in genuinely free space, i.e., within a truly "flat" 4-dimensional
spacetime, objects should not be expected to present any resistance to our attempt to accelerate
them! The Machian idea is basically this: inertia in "free space" (flat spacetime) is a
manifestation of the interaction of bodies interaction with the gravitational field of the Universe.

In light of developments in induced gravity theory it might be more appropriate to think of
Machian gravitation as caused by the mass interaction with the quantum vacuum so as to produce
a gravitational field when the mass is in inertial motion and an inertial field when the mass is in
noninertial motion.

Of course, if local gravitational fields are present, then the body must also interact with this local
field in addition to the Universe's g-field and hence the effective inertial mass of the body would be
expected to be larger for a mass present near a massive body (and general relativity can predict just
how large this effect is).

Otherwise, I just can't see how acceleration along "x" can affect motion along "ict" without such an
intrinsic coupling of time and space as befits a universal/global gravitational field.

What do you think?

Whenever there opens up a break in the causal chain ad one at some level realizes this, there lies
ones true moral responsibility. Also, even without such a break in the chain of deterministic
action, if one merely has inside knowledge, e.g., awareness of the sensitivity in initial conditions,
c.f., awareness of the sensitivity in initial conditions, c.f., chaos theory, catastrophe theory, etc.
there too does one bear the burden of moral responsibility, e.g., I saw the bus coming from my
vantage point around the corner from where you were about to cross the street and I did not warn
you! If you are hit by the bus is my culpability as great as if I had pushed you into the bus path,
to with, are sins of omission as great as those of commission, if the responsible party in both
instances, if equally aware of the harmful outcome and equally able to intervene? The argument
could be made that, in the case of the oncoming bus, the culpability is actually greater for the
person who failed to act as the person who to the positive action to cause harm must have been at
that time under the grip of a powerful impulse or compulsion. But society and its ethical mores
and legal system do not understand the distinction between omission and commission in this way.
Why not? What kind of blindness is at work here, c.f., the moral blindness that prevents most
people nowadays from glimpsing the horror of abortion in the United States.

We know that there can be no genuine creativity in evolution. For otherwise this would imply
that the self-organizing properties of atoms and molecules are back-reacted upon and change by
the progress of complexity of life forms. Initial and boundary condition as well as causal
relationships cannot be merely constraints upon quantum fluctuations and their correlations.





Quantum entanglement must be maintained between fluctuations of incompatible observables of
the same system in order for the system to obey the Heisenberg uncertainty principle (HUP) for the

I argue that there are in fact close parallels between the two and that the occurrence of

fact, the occurrence of consciousness turns out to require much more Fine Tuning than the

Decoherence and its relation to the ground of being.
con=
Firstly, if all possibilities are realized say,
in quantum parallel universes, then each parallel reality is completely context-free and cut off from
any embedding ground of its own possibilities. It is possible that potential in its acceptation in
terms of possibility and probability is intimately related to the acceptation of this term as
component of Einsteins 16 component metric tensor. It seems that probability is an inert or
dead notion without there being some dynamic structure to the totality of underlying possibilities
that inform it. We must square that concept of parallel worlds/universes with this concept as
implied by the existence of human free will. There are possible worlds that are connected by
virtue of being outcomes of the distinct free will choices of a single individual, i.e., subjective
and then there are those intersubjective possible worlds on the other hand that are correlated in a
much more abstract way, e.g., where the distinct possibilities belong (or do not belong) (I cant
decide which) to a single informing ground (consciousness?). If everything in reality is
intersubjective, then this leaves no room for the collective subjectivity in terms of which the
intersubjective must be defined. IN other words, a naturalism that is too thorough going is
self-defeating.

There can be no subject of change only change from one parallel universe to another, like the
flitting of a consciousness to different parallel universe incarnations of itself. But certainly the
quantum correlations themselves underlie the structure and dynamics of consciousness and so
each distinct correlational structure cannot be identified with a distinct parallel universe for
otherwise there is no basis for the continuity of consciousness across parallel universes.

Parallel world in which my consciousness is preserved may not preserve the consciousness of
other minds. The history of a human being in any one universe must then be merely the history
of that human body and its standing set of memory traces (within that humans brain) And thus
memory traces in the brain dont determine individual human consciousness as such, but perhaps
merely inform and structure it temporarily as distinctly classical physical phenomena.



It is probable that the matrix of quantum vacuum fluctuations quantum correlated with the brains
current functioning by virtue of this same brains past functioning constitute an ever-growing
embedding quantum vacuum context for future functioning. This suggests that the switching
on of consciousness during some crucial stage in the brains development is enabled at least in
part by a network of quantum correlations in the vacuum laid down during the history of the
brains back-reaction upon the quantum vacuums fluctuation matrix between conception and the
moment of consciousness switching on.


As noted in Matthew J. Donalds paper on the Many Minds Interpretation of Quantum Theory, the
human brain is far too complex to be represented in terms of a pure quantum state. In other
words, the density of quantum correlations exhibited by the brain during the course of its normal
functioning is far too complex to be completely grounded within the correlation-fluctuation matrix
of the embedding quantum vacuum with which the brain locally interfaces. It is interesting that
here we see a basis for the necessary interiority of the brains functioning, i.e., consciousness as
well as a highly probable and plausible physical basis for the necessity of the observers act of
conscious observation of (and/or freely-willed interaction with) a prepared quantum system
inducing that systems state vector function to undergo collapse.

Eugenicist thinking is powerfully informed by the misguided notion of most fit individual.
Since what natural selection is indeed driving at is a fittest breeding population, i.e., natural
selection qua selection can be no more selective than the mechanisms provided it by population
genetics allows, there is no fittest individual organism as such. The conditions fostering the
operation of natural selection are not in place ab initio and therefore there must be additional
complementary mechanisms of evolutionary change at work, e.g., self-organization, entelechy,
morphogenetic fields, directed mutation and so on.
April 2011
A system of individuals represented
by the breeding population, each possessing randomly distributed strengths and weaknesses,
talents and tendencies, relative to one another and to the group average, represents a much easier
distillation of information from entropy than does any hypothetical breeding population entirely
composed of more or less identically ideally adapted individuals. Besides such as monoculture
breeding population would be wiped out by the first environmental challenge that proved too
difficult for only one of its members. So genetic diversity is both easier to produce and easier to
maintain than is the evolution of the illusory ideal specimen.
July 2011
Of course, what natural
selection is aiming at in adapting the organism to its environment is not so much the environment
itself as it is the long term environment such as it manifests itself in the hands of ancestors to their
future offspring. The rationality of the DNA qua language means that the aim of natural selection
must be something even broader than that of the breeding populations adaptation to its current
environment because of the fact of the obvious advantages to be gained from out-crossing of
individuals from one breeding population to those of some other breeding population,

No one doubts the wisdom of managing
the germ-plasm of agricultural stocks, so why not apply the same concept to human stocks? The
preceding was a quote from the avid Darwinian, Julian Huxley. In light of what has been said up
to this, we might suspect that there is a confusion or misconsception lying at the root of Huxleys
insight, something along the lines of Russells category mistake. In short any changes
observerd to ensue from a manipulation of the genome of agricultural stocks constitutes a
referenceable change, one which can more or less easily be categorized and even quantified.
However, manipulations of the human germ plasm would result in a change in the psychological
traits and values of the race to include those members engaged in future genetic manipulations of
the race. And so to start down the path of human genetic manipulation, especially where the
expressed goal is that of increasing the talent and intelligence of the race, is to set forth on a path
within a realm of extremely low visibility.

The accelerated cosmological expansion may perhaps be explained in terms of the peculiar shape
of the hyperspherical potential barrier through which the universe is tunneling. The universe
should be losing imaginary momentum as it tunnels through this barrier and hence, by
conservation of four momentum, must be gaining real momentum, i.e., accelerating in its
expansion throughout 3-space.

3d electric field as 4d cylindrical 4d magnetic field (coiling around the time axis) needs to be
complemented by alternatively describing the pure electric force as a Lorentz force acting between
a timelike current density and a hypercylindrical magnetic field coiling around the time axis. In
the so-called pure electric field case, the time axes of both current densities are exactly parallel.
This is not the case for curved spacetime and we see the magnetic fields can be produced through
interaction of charged particles with a gravitational field.

The 3-body problem has no formal solution (only if an absolute reference frame is not assumed?).
Such is perhaps the situation, too in the historical milieu when three or more driving historical

frame of reference, i.e., world view, of one or the other of these historical forces, i.e., agents, e.g.,
government, military, church, peasantry, etc. (the protein folding problem is similarly insoluble).
The fundamentally different historical interpretation lies within the historians error of

Searles argument that computation alone cant be constitutive of consciousness is similar to the

are supposed to mean, then theres a kind of active process of error correction, etc. by which I

But in principle we dont have to rely on natural selection. If we had an exhaustive enough
theory of the correlation (which may well never be 100%, by the way!) between genotype and
phenotype, then presumably we could reproduce or even improve considerably upon the order
engendering mechanism of natural selection that has all along fostered evolutionary development.
One advantage of natural selection of random mutations is that the process is not formalizable and
so immune to the limitations pointed up by Godels theorems. Such a complete theory should
be able to differentiate between series of genetic mutations giving rise in the short term to identical
phenotypes in terms of how in the longer term the evolutionary development of the phenotypes
shall diverge with further selection within the field of short-term phenotypic-degenerate genetic

Transcript of 06/02/05 email exchange between Russell Clark and Ziad Fahd:

Hey Russ,

According to Bells Theorem, for anything to exist, it must be observed by another thing-each
depends on the other for existence! Does that mean when youre not observing me, Im not
here?

Ziad

Rather, if Im not observing you, Im not here. Reasons for saying this:

1) Ego is a sociolinguistic construct, first and foremost. . .
2) Individual consciousness as such is thought to be derived from a gradual evolutionary
development of an internal model of the other, e.g., competitor, potential threat, prospective mate,
etc. a model, which at some point got applied to the self.

@$
3) This originally outwardly-projected-onto-the-other selfhood also served to attribute meaning
to the otherwise meaningless babble, which once accompanied everything which humans
un-self-consciously did (this kind of vocalization was akin to what babies manifest between 18 and
24 months of age). Linguistic meaning started out only as attributed to the other. For perhaps
the first several 100,000 years of mankinds linguistic history, language was understood by ad hoc
attribution of meaning to the others vocalizations based on an observed and learned correlation
between patterns of vocalization and patterns of behavior observed in the other. Only many
10,000s of years later than this did humans use these complex vocalizations for themselves to
consciously communicate with the other.

Contradiction and tautology are indications of language being strained to its natural limits by a
mind greater than any linguistic map.

Consciousness is not so much an emergent property of brain processes as it is an incorporation of a
trick of tapping into a pre-existing continuum of computational spaces in connection with Gdels

Some can sense the presence of a kind of governor imposed upon the intuitive faculties of the
mind preventing it from at once grasping what should be most natural for it to grasp the reality of
the presence of God. This governor, this blockage is of course a manifestation of sin, that is, of
mans fallen-ness.

Disengagement of the limitations upon consciousness, which is gradual and an essential part of the
natural ending of the human life cycle versus the sudden cutting short of a life may have an effect
analogous to the breaking down of the placenta prior to birth. Complications for the emerging
soul are then the natural outcome.

The psychic energy invested in the erecting and maintaining of boundaries is freed up and becomes
available for fueling creativity. It is exactly analogous to the mechanism of conserved psychic
energy, which inevitably counteracts the efforts of neurotic individuals to control the content of
their own dreams, i.e., to dream lucidity. (Although the reverse) Because from the otherwise
ordinary consciousness of the neurotic individual is bled off the otherwise freely available creative
energies energies that could have been enlisted for creative purposes, but which upon the
individuals awaking once again supply the psychic energy required to re-erect the boundaries
supporting psychological repression.

If the fluctuation field constitutes a medium always at rest with respect to itself, then objects also
constituted by this field may appear to be in absolute motion (i.e., in motion with respect to the
medium) though this motion is, in fact merely relative, i.e., only the motion of one object relative
to another. What type of correlations bind the medium into a potential absolute reference frame?

What appears a straight path is always an arc, however wide. The circle is built into all motion,
all change. The irrationality of the ratio of the circles circumference to its (straight) diameter.
Is this because the approximation of a straight line motion by oscillatory (wavelike) motion
necessarily evokes a generalized Gibbs phenomenon, c.f., irrational probabilities. Reverse a
definition of the order of being in Anselms Ontological Argument. Assume that existence is a
lower form of being than nonexistence, i.e., being unmasked of all limitation. Moreover,
existence is the most general instance of the limitation of being. The relationship of mind to
consciousness is akin to that of existence to being. Is this still true when we reflect that mind is
in consciousness (as a structuring of consciousness) just as consciousness is on account of the
fundamental activity of mind?

Gdels theorem seems to be equally proof and disproof of the Platonic heaven of mathematical
truth. Proof: truth is a stronger notion than provability this is the basis of mathematical
incompleteness. Disproof: mathematical truth does not constitute a unity this is what
incompleteness means. But given the ontological priority of mathematical entities,
mathematics incompleteness is not a falling short of a would-be or possible greater unity. And
for this reason the incompleteness of mathematics cannot be properly interpreted as the
inadequacy of mathematics as basis for all future rational description, but must be interpreted as
mathematics superabundance, i.e., greater than unity.

We commonly think of
mathematics as requiring a foundation, as being built from the ground up, so to speak because
thats how we humans think. But the evidence thanks to Gdel is quite to the contrary, because of
mathematics lack of a foundation, it cant really be built or constructed automatically, that is,
without any thought going into it.

unified abstractly and this is the broad hint that mathematics is the product of a transcendental

Novelty is just the transcendence of the ground of being by the entities it supports, c.f., structures
of the quantum vacuum too complex to be timelike fluctuations of this vacuum. And the
quantity of inertial mass is proportional to the density of the (to the vacuum) novel information
contained within it.

Spacelike fluctuations may only make sense as entangled timelike
fluctuations wherein this entanglement surpasses a certain threshold of complexity, i.e., such that
the composite cannot be encompassed within a single timelike fluctuation.

This kind of
transcendence is perhaps a good example of the stream rising higher than its source, what
Heraclitus emphatically said is impossible. Of course, what is to prevent the stream from

If the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, then

Quite apart from the holographic principle of parts defined in terms of wholes,
we have the contrary and perhaps complimentary principle of the virus, which is to say, the
kernel-subverting and hence system-transforming action of the single invading particle. Must
there be some preexisting rational basis for the interoperability of the system and its invading virus
such as a common mimetic language or linguistic system? So do the holographic and
complementary viral principles presuppose a kind of providential rationality?

Distributed parallel human experience permits combination and reprocessing of the data of
experience in a way that cant be produced within the experience of any individual human being

works and soon after the guardians of the workaday world of honest industrious people are

Lack of temporal change in a closed system, which therefore must be described by a pure state Psi
with a single global Phi, itself possessing no physical meaning. So it is the

definition of information as a reduction of uncertainty and then consider the ambiguity (or mutual

Notice that checkmate positions not obtainable in over-the-board play have a peculiar structure
one of so-called irreducible complexity (c.f. Indras Nets simultaneous arising). Nonlocality

In a way, the positing of a given number theoretic formalism is to abstract from what we presume

it Platonically subsists in mathematical reality) constitutes an abstraction in which the suppressed
details must always be crucially important. Mathematical unity if it exists must be irreducible
in its nature.

What disrupts the determinism of the time evolution of the wavefunction (in accordance with the

presumably just decoherence on an ultra small time scale of s evolution. Gravity does
this presumably because gravitational energy is not a conserved quantity in general relativity.
An observer/experimenter may decohere the
I
presumably because he/she does not share the
ground state of the system he/she is probing/measuring. The environment in its turn via thermal
energy exchanges with the prepared quantum system decoheres the state function of the system
because a time reversal of fluctuations within the affected volume, V (with which thermal
fluctuations interact) and presumably these correlated quantum fluctuations within the volume
cannot reproduce the time-reversed set of thermal inputs to the volume, V does exclusion of the
timelike excitations mean exclusion also of timelike correlations? This is the fundamental
irreversibility, which cannot be accommodated by the Schrodinger wave equation for . A
given region of quantum vacuum thus cannot model all possible changes within itself that can
nevertheless be induced to occur within it as a result of external inputs, what we have termed
surprising of the vacuum outside perturbations.

Quantum mechanical phenomena cannot be understood in terms of just a souped up
micro-classical physics, i.e., in terms of the kinetics of subatomic particles buffeted by
vacuum energy fluctuations in the form of off-mass-shell particles, i.e., virtual particles. This
is largely because the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, which leads to appearance of vacuum
fluctuations is an ontological and not an epistemological principle. So the apparent kinetics of
real particle-virtual particle interactions is a manifestation of a fundamental vacuum dynamics.

undecidable for the human questions undecidable for the human mind, if only because what is
essential by such theorems is beyond the human ken. Are theorems which are undecidable for the
human mind merely because of their complexity ever a counterexample to the triviality of, for
example, undecidable theorems of Fraenkel-Zermelo set theory?
This brings up the question of whether such undecidable theorems must always be implicitly or
explicitly self-referential and whether self-referential propositions must always be trivial
(semantically speaking), that is, can self-referential propositions possess interesting content,
which is to imply that propositions undecidable to the human mind (because beyond its ken) could
also be nontrivial, that it, interesting if only we could fathom their content, i.e., understand what
they assert.
What might the boundary between (to humans) intuitively decidable vs. undecidable number

arbitrary. Is this boundary continuous, fractal, multiply-connected, etc. These type general
considerations might result in a loss of faith in the (heretofore unquestioned) assumption on the
part of hard AI critics that humans ability to grasp true number theoretic propositions
unprovable within any number of formal systems necessarily implies there are no such
ungraspable or undecidable number theoretic propositions for humans (clearly there are, but this
is assumed to be a function of a simple over-complexity relative to the human intellects formal

Discuss why the conscious brain is embedded in a false vacuum state, not entirely sharing the
ground state of so-called objective physical reality. This is in part due to much of the brains
activity consisting of quantum mechanical tunneling (with generation of much imaginary
3-momentum). Other contributors to the sustainment of false vacuum are timelike quantum
correlation of global brain states, utilization of multiple spacelike-separated physical (free space)
vacua, quantum (dense) coding and decoherence damping through quantum error correction

Entropy production on account of the brains operation should be composed

What difficulties should we expect in our attempt to Fourier transform (a) time domain function(s)
where time is irreversible? Can temporal irreversibility be traced to the fact that the absolute
phase of Psi possesses no physical meaning though relative differences in phase do? (This is
why density matrix with decohered phases imply irreversibility)

Does entropy necessarily creep into the picture once we become embroiled in multiple
vacua/ground states? So is irreversibility connected with the taking on of physical meaning by
the normally purely abstract quantum mechanical phase?

What type of correlations between multiple vacua imply multiplicity of temporal dimension?
Irreversibility of quantum measurement/observation is perhaps on account of entanglement of
brain ground state with that of observed system?

Would this observation/idea give us a way of revealing the true underlying epistemological nature
of Heisenberg uncertainty which must appear ontological because of the privileged
epistemological access of the observer to the contents of his own subjective ground state?

Irreversibility is a cause or a phenomena o the breaking of spacetime symmetry? Parameters that
in isolated/insulated systems posed no physical meaning become physically important, e.g.,
reference frame, absolute energy/0 of energy, absolute phase, vector potential, orientation in
space, direction in/through time, ect. These are all examples of context-sensitivity and/or

Quantum mechanical phase of a spin-1/2 particle is timelike and spacelike in equal parts. The

the fact that spin +1/2 is always paired with spin 1/2 in a fermionic quantum field, which is
timelike while spin +/- particle in isolation must be real and virtual particles must always
create/annihilate in form of composite spin-0 fields.

Causal powers are clearly tied to counterfactuals, which are sensitive to the physical conditions set
by the underlying physical dynamics by which algorithms are implemented, which are formally
indeterminate/undecidable. And no clear distinction can be drawn between implementation of
an algorithm and the algorithms formal structure qua algorithm. Clearly, if how f(x) = x, where
f(x) is output and x is input is important to the dynamics of mental states, then we will never be
in a position to find another equation, f(x) = x, which possesses the required property, unless we
can write,


f(x) = x!

But the invoking of x in the place of = means abandoning (a) purely formal relation(s).
The irreducibility of function of form is pointed to by the invoking of =, which is at once to
evoke the notion of irreducible temporality. = also carries the notion of equivocation of
sense, which is the very essence of metaphoricity. And it is this facility for equivocation of
sense that presumably permits a la Penrose for the human mind to side step the limitations of
logic, i.e., formal symbol manipulation of which Searle is so critical, pointed up by Goedels
incompleteness theorem. Context sensitivity of brain processes depends upon a complexity of
function capable o routinely out stripping the computational capacity of the underlying
embedding quantum vacuum. Presumably again, probability is not conserved by these types of
processes (since probability is only definable against some unified, normalizable vacuum or
ground state) and so such processes are causality-transcending.

Small probability that a ball will pass through a wall rather than bounce back, via quantum
tunneling of the balls wavefunction. But an aggregation of particles would decohere long

knowledge of or feedback with the wall, neither of which may be possible, would be required.

Integration of brain states over time requires some interaction between such timelike separated
states. This in part accounts for the ability of brain function to induce Uberraschung of the
quantum vacuum, further inducing collapse of pure quantum states.

To think that consciousness could be evoked through the enacting of some predetermined (or even
pre-predetermined) sequence of physical events is surely to indulge in superstitious thinking of
the most basic sort.

Although true that without context, there is no meaning, it is also true that without individuation,
i.e., differentiation of a being from its ground (or ground proper), there can be nothing subject to
an interpretation and hence no meaning here either. Deterministic brain processes are processes
taking place in a closed system and which cannot therefore have any reference outside the system
or be about anything.

Is it quantum uncertainty that makes function irreducible to form, 4d pseudo-spacetime irreducible

There is an information theoretic basis, perhaps through invoking a cellular automata model of the
quantum vacuum for relating the effects of inertia, gravitation and consciousness in which the
finite bandwidth and computational capacity of the vacuum play an important role.

Back-reaction and uncertainty are perhaps mutually inconsistent. Back reaction increased with
accuracy of (to the ground state or vacuum field) unanticipated inputs of momentum-energy
during minute experimental probings, i.e., measurements.

The presence of a gravitational field requires some back-reaction of the vacuum induced mass
upon the free vacuum itself.

Aristotles form and substance are indistinct where structures below the decoherence

The quantum-classical continuum should not be identified with spatiotemporal scale per se but

Not only are quantum correlations responsible for bulk properties of matter such as polarization,

One cant properly Lorentz transform a density matrix with partially decohered phase

If mind is an adaptation to a transcendent environment, then how can consciousness be in any
sense epiphenomenal? How can language so secretly invoke the absolute observer, i.e.,
God?

Shipovs rotational law of inertia: the rotated solid body will rotate inertially as long as external
forces do not act on it, c.f., theoretical and experimental research of inertial mass of a
four-dimensional gyroscope.

Astrology appeals to many for the same reason as does a melody it exhibits something pervasive
and fundamental that is normally hidden from us, i.e., in the case of astrology the dialectic of the
struggle of consciousness with an unfree animals to effect a freely acting human will. The
notion of conjunctions and our vigilant watching for them as opportunity for spirit to intervene in
otherwise mechanical and moronic physical processes.

N. V. Filatovs experiments with colliding gyroscopes or other experiments involving acceleration
of rapidly spinning gyroscopes should show a deviation from Newtons laws of motion that can
only be explained by the notion of timelike components of angular momentum, which is to imply
that spacetime exists against a back drop of absolute four dimensional space, c.f., Newtons bucket
experiment and Machs theory of inertia.

In four dimensions there is no net acceleration on account of impressed forces, but merely a
rotation of 4-momentum and so presumably the resistance to impressed forces is due to resistance
of the mass to changes in the mass 4-angular momentum.

Something akin to Voloviks superfluid vacuum might serve as a kind of effective field of
effective supersymmetry or induced supersymmetry, obviating the presumed necessity of
superpartners as part of the solution to the cosmological constant problem.

For many years it has been conjectured that these two types of superfluidity are in fact alternative
limits of a single universal phenomenon, and that one could continuously pass from fermionic to
bosonic superfluidity by properly varying the fermionic interaction parameters, c.f., The Role of
Boson-Fermion Correlations in the Resonance Theory of Superfluids, arXiv:
cond-mat/0404234v2 11 APR 2004. The above work is relevant to a theory of induced
supersymmetry, that is, a theory of supersymmetry that treats superpartners as quasiparticles.
No unique exchange particle required mediating gravitation and no unique particle needed to
endow particles with mass, i.e., no Higgs boson. Supersymmetry is dynamically broken in a
superfluid vacuum, c.f., Volovik.

When particles are produced in a collision, they are not particles that were somehow inside the
colliding particles. They are really produced by converting the collision energy into mass, the
mass of other particles. This is another example of how quantum mechanics violates our
intuitions by revealing the ontology of epistemology, just as in the case of the Heisenberg
principle that is commonly mistaken as an epistemological principle, c.f., Heisenbergs Light
microscope experiment, rather than an ontological principle, i.e., scope and limits of knowledge is
revealed as a limitation of being, c.f., Supersymmetry, p. 75 (2000).

The decoherence threshold limits the complexity of what systems may be teleported, appear out of
the vacuum as a fluctuation or exist in a superposition state. Vacuum fluctuations constitute the
ontological component of Heisenberg uncertainty. Nonlocal correlations cause the magnitude of
vacuum fluctuations to become smaller than their corresponding Heisenberg uncertainties.
Psi-objective while the density matrix is an admixture of objective and subjective components.
How does quantum decoherence affect the density matrix? Beginning to see the connection
between gravitation, decoherence, consciousness and the direction of time.

Elsewhere region should be demarcated according to a decoherence threshold (onset of
irreversibility) rather than spatially. Only the decohered component of the vacuum contributes
to the vacuums inertia.

What distinguishes real from virtual particles (particle not being a concept within quantum field
theory) is mere probability, i.e., particles further off-mass-shell are less probable. Note that a
scalar on the momentum-energy graph corresponds to a vector within Minkowski spacetime.

However, once the threshold is passes at which structures become too complex to exist as
fluctuations of the vacuums energy, c.f., Hawking radiation and the black hole information
paradox, the distinction between real and virtual becomes shall we say, more full-blooded.
This threshold is also that connected with gravitational decoherence. The reality of indefinite
counterfactuals seems to be required by the realness of existent as opposed to imaginary entities
and seems more or less excluded by a non-deterministic universe. What about degenerate
determinism? (See recent arXiv preprints on the limits of interferometry of buckyballs)

Particles move about in such a manner that they remain locally real consistency of mass-shell
representation of spacetime? This is just a restatement of the fact that quantum mechanical
expectation values correspond to the predictions of classical physics. It is also a restatement of
the principle of probability conservation in quantum mechanics.

The invoking of natural selection to explain the growth of biological order is vis a vis
consciousness to borrow order from a continuum that itself was designed.

Quantum cryptography and nonlocality vanishing point of substance basis of information
information can be divorced from material substrate, c.f., Dualism and Disembodied Existence.
But is the information continuity timelike (in sense of a preferred frame of so-called cosmic time)?
When decoherence limit is exceeded, information becomes localized, e.g., superposition, vacuum
fluctuation, entanglement, quantum encryption and/or teleportation complexity limits are reached.

Boundary conditions upon the quantum field become overly complex, then pure state does not so
much as decay as trans-form into a mixed state (as opposed to a superposition that can be
Lorentz transformed, or change of basis performed in some other way into a pure state).

Whenever a critical process creates, it borrows. The dual categories of creative vs. critical may
have to be recast as self-plagiarism vs. plagiarism of the works of others. This revision might
be made necessary by the discovery that the self-other distinction is derivative, say from a ground
of impersonal dynamic processes. What do we really mean by dynamic (simply in opposition
to kinematic?)

Philosophical bias exists which says that all real unities are underived not constructed, which

Explore the connection between decoherence and inertia.

A purely resonant density matrix in which each element of
ij
may be seen as a purely timelike
fluctuation with the phase relations o the
ij
completely determined through nonlocal quantum
correlations this represents the case where all entries in the density matrix may be changed
simultaneously. In such a case we say that
ij
corresponds to a system possessing effectively no
inertial mass. However, such a system may take on an effective inertial mass should we interact
with the system so as to disrupt the purely resonant phase relations of the
ij
so that we now have
a density matrix with a mixture of nonlocal and classical correlations.

Causality is fully determined by correlations, quantum and classical in various admixtures.
What determines these correlations is quantum statistics of fluctuations and boundary conditions
upon the fields so fluctuating. The ground of wavefunction collapse is decohering vacuum
processes.

I dont know the answer, either but it is obviously related to topology of fluctuations and their
correlations. We know this much: that in the case of gravitational decoherence, the relationships
of the quantum phases of the components of the density matrix are disrupted. Meaning that a
Lorentz transformation cannot return the density matrix to its previous state, say just prior to the
gravitational field being switched on. A biological transition must occur, which also lies
behind the collapse of the wavefunction. By the way, I think it was Feynman who pointed out
the differences in the topology of fermions and bosons.





Conservation laws are violated for vacuum processes and for processes in which the vacuum plays
a role. Energy is not conserved in general relativity. This is why we say that gravity breaks
spacetime symmetry.

Complementary quantum statistical effects of real fermions and real bosons upon their virtual
counterparts which is reciprocal. Treating /\E and /\p as a conserved 4-vector. Treating virtual
fermion pairs as scalar and virtual bosons as vector, which are combined into a conserved 4-vector
in analogy to how relativistic Maxwells equations treat rest charge as the scalar component of
4-current density. Look at relativitys definition of 4-angular momentum current density and
probability current density. Special relativity applies to /\p, /\E, /\t, and /\x just as well as to p, x,
E, t. Quantum entanglement in gravitational field acts in the appropriate manner.

Gravitation as a rotation of this 4-potential by mass. Conservation of
4-angular momentum as a more elegant explanation of the relativistic perihelion precession of the
planet Mercury. Gravitational redshift and deflection of light by gravity could both be explained
in terms of quantum entanglement of 3-momentum (virtual photons) and imaginary 4-momentum
(virtual Cooper pairs). This should be consistent with magnetization and polarization
entanglement witnesses.

Light is a spacetime measurement basis in relativity theory for the predicted and now much
confirmed relativistic effects of both motion and matter upon space and time. If light moves as
though or as if time is passing slower in a given region, then

1) we know a gravitational potential is present

2) time is indeed passing slower in this potential than in so-called free space

Since the velocity of light can be considered in light of relativity as a measure of the velocity of
time, the rate of decrease in the velocity of light at a given time, t must be proportional to the
velocity of light at such time t. In other words, the decrease in the velocity of light (and hence
also of time, i.e., its rate of passage) must be decreasing at an exponentially decaying rate. Well,
time reversing this trend back to the beginning of the Big Bang and we are then faced with an
exponentially increasing velocity of light and of time! This is why I believe that it may be
possible to fit 12-13 billion years of our present time into just a few thousand years of early time.

@$
We must remember that it is the expansion of spacetime that the Big Bang treats of and not the
expansion of space over preexistent time! If we still want a background, preexistent time during
which spacetimes expansion is considered to be taking place, then we must invoke the notion of
multidimensional time. (Which we would need anyway, if the Everett many worlds
interpretation of quantum mechanics is valid) If we dont accept multidimensional time, then we
must consider the existence of a generalized or cosmological time dilation as one of the inevitable
effects of the cosmic expansion. And such cosmological time dilation also applies to the various
quantum uncertainties in time measurements/intervals (Heisenberg time uncertainty in all of its
myriad ramifications). And if Heisenberg time uncertainties of all quantum systems are
increasing, then their Heisenberg energy uncertainties must be decreasing (which manifests itself
as an apparent acceleration in the universes expansion (relative to an assumed constant velocity of
light).
May 2011
As the mass energy density of the universe decreases during the course of
cosmological expansion, gravitational time dilation for the universe as a whole should decrease
and this is associated with an increase in the velocity of light in step with this universal decrease in
vacuum energy density.
@$
Here we see a plausible simple mechanism for an accelerating
cosmological expansion, as well as an explanation of dark energy.

Cosmological and gravitational redshift may be placed upon a common footing, e.g., cosmic
microwave background as cosmologically red shifted Hawking radiation.

In a dynamic gravity field, lengths can both dilate and contract, as well as can time intervals dilate
and contract. This is what happens when a gravity wave passes through our local spacetime.
This is what is called quadrupole radiation, which cannot be described by either spin-0 or spin-1
fields. What induced gravity, effective field gravity and already unified theories try to do is
define composite spin-2 fields, i.e., fields made up of simpler particles than a pure spin-2 graviton.

What has for long been particularly interesting for me is the fact that not only time and space are
squeezed and dilated by passing gravitational waves, but also the Heisenberg uncertainties in time
and length are squeezed and dilated. This is of possible deep significance in light of the no
hidden variables theorem of John Bell (1964) because one of the outcomes of this theorem is that
the Heisenberg uncertainties are not definable in terms of relationships between merely local (i.e.,
causal) variables. What is important here is that General Relativity is a strictly speaking causal
theory of locally covariant variables! So if the generality of general relativistic effects (as
applied to Heisenberg uncertainties in space, time, energy and momentum) is to be accepted, the
grounds for GR effects here must be mediated through nonlocal correlations of quantum
fluctuations which make up these Heisenberg uncertain variables of time, length, momentum, etc.
This leads us to deduce through

/\t x /\E O h and

/\x x /\p O h

/\x and /\t general relativistically squeeze and dilate due to changes in nonlocal correlations (and
amplitude values?), which is to say, quantum statistical relationships between the nonlocally
connected quantum fluctuations in 3-momentum and energy comprising the various Heisenberg
uncertainties in these physical quantities are systematically perturbed, creating the effect of their
being relativistically squeezed and dilated through the above equations.
May 2011
How exactly does
Heisenberg uncertainty related to quantum entanglement conjugate observables or even
observables that mutually constitute components of some observable with respect to a conserved
quantity?

/\E is composed of nonlocally correlated virtual fermion-antifermion (virtual Cooper pair)
creation/annihilations, i.e., fluctuations of vacuum energy and

/\p is composed of nonlocally correlated virtual boson emission-absorptions.

There may be a way of explaining changes in the quantum statistics of fluctuations of momentum
and energy, (how probable are fluctuations and how these fluctuations are correlated within
spacetime), which underlie the dynamics of all quantum systems via application of Fermi-Dirac
statistics (Pauli Exclusion Principle) and Bose-Einstein statistics (principle of Bose condensation)
to the interactions of real-real, real-virtual, and virtual-virtual particles/fields.

Please see David Bohms work Quantum Theory (1951) for support of my assertion that all
causal relationships may be consistently represented in terms of fluctuations and their correlations.

Dark matter is a local phenomenon caused by the effect of
gravitational time dilation upon the local rate of cosmological expansion. Dark energy is a
nonlocal phenomenon caused by the decrease in gravitational time dilation with cosmological
expansion. The pioneer anomaly is caused by failing to measure the velocity of radio signals
within a reference frame that varies with time due to cosmological expansion. The discrete
cosmological redshift is a function of the expansion of the universe through a hyperspherical
potential barrier. Matter causes a local rotation of this hyperspherical potential energy barrier
from timelike to spacelike.

You are the apple of my eye. The essence of humanness is the innate metaphoricity of human

What seems to speak to us the loudest is that which calls clearest to mind our own voice.

A black hole seems to convert Heisenberg energy uncertainty, /\E
Heisenberg
into thermalized energy,
i.e., von Neumann into classical entropy? Does the event horizon convert spin-0 into spin-1
fluctuations? He who could build a time machine could change the course of history and rule the
world change history or merely switch tracks from one parallel universe to another?

Explore the connection, if any, between critiques of David Deutschs quantum computing
argument for the existence of parallel universes and my notion of E-collapse based in
combinational complexity overwhelming the computational resources of the quantum vacuum qua
cosmic CPU. <induced supergravity>/<Sakharov>

It takes energy to recreate a mass through space over a finite time interval. Slow acceleration,
only low frequency fluctuations need be reprocessed.

As the universe expands there is more space and the positional uncertainty increases. Hence
momentum uncertainty decreases and so the momentum spectrum of all particles and fields within
the universe develops a long, high-momentum tail, which statistically is correlated with a net
acceleration in direction of cosmological expansion. The speed of light also slows, which
compounds the appearance of accelerated expansion.




The way /\p and /\E transform from one reference frame to another in special relativity is
substantively different from the transformation of these quantities in going from one point in a
gravitational potential to some point at another potential. Does a Lorentz transformation only
change the diagonal terms of the stress-momentum-energy tensor or does it potentially change the
off-diagonal terms though without altering the phase relations between the T
ik
that contributes to
the decoherence of the density matrix,
u,v
defined from the Hamiltonian that is in turn
constructed from the stress-momentum-energy tensor, T
uv
? The above question was prompted
from considering the spacetime symmetry breaking of the quantum vacuum induced by uniform
accelerations, c.f., my email discussion with Ziad Fahd of the twin paradox of special relativity.

There may be a simple topological way of understanding black holes that explains the seemingly
discrepant factor of two between ours and Schwarzchilds prediction of the relation between black
hole mass and radius, which invokes somewhat the idea of a frequency cutoff in combination with
a Volovikian understanding of gravitation in terms of the vacuum inertia induced by mass in
interaction with the quantum vacuum. One question that arises in this connection is: how can
Volovik be correct in his assertion that the density of vacuum energy, i.e., cosmological constant is
more or less equal to the cosmological mass-energy density when the density of perturbed vacuum
for masses is usually considerably less dense than their black hole geometry? A related question
is why the quantum fluctuation energy cutoff (on the mass = perturbed vacuum energy theory) is
lower for larger masses such that black hole density is a function of R
-2
?

The density matrix can always be transformed via Lorentz transformation to a purely diagonal
form, provided that certain constraints upon the phase relationships of the component
eigenfunctions are maintained. In other words a density matrix represents a pure quantum state
function if a Lorentz transformation exists that permits transforming the density matrix into a
matrix with no off-diagonal terms.

What is the density matrix for spin-0 superfluid? What is this representation for a spin-1
superfluid?. . . a bi-vacuum superfluid composed of equal parts spin-0 and spin-1 superfluids?
What effect would a gravitational field have upon such an equilibrium bi-vacuum condensate, i.e.,
a two-superfluid condensate in which the spin-0 and spin-1 components are of equal or
complementary density? A gravitational field can be represented in terms of a continuum of
Lorentz inertial frames connected along a geodesic path (a, b). The irreversibility associated
with the action of a gravitational field can be demonstrated through the manner in which phase
accumulates for a parallel-transported wavefunction.

Reversibility is an aspect of merely abstract manipulations of Lorentz frames. The real
transformation between Lorentz frames cannot be reversible because of the inevitable
accelerations implied in changing Lorentz frames. Are so-called adiabatic accelerations
possible?

Is it proper to apply the notion of current density to the dynamics of the underlying cellular
automatic (CA) infrastructure? Doesnt such a notion only apply to the phenomena of motion
and not the underlying cellular automatic (CA) physics of this motion? Is this to assume a
preferred cosmological reference frame in which the underlying CA mechanics is located?

God has free will. (by definition)

Therefore, if God exists, it is because He chose to exist.

But this conclusion only follows if it also true that,

I f God does not exist, this too is because He chose not to exist

(Otherwise there is no real choice, contrary to the stipulation of Gods possessing free will)

But God would not deprive himself of the opportunity to lord it over us all. . .
Hence God exists!

Note that your anti-theistic argument is no better than mine, and by the way overlooks the fact that
suffering can induce positive spiritual transformation in survivors and compassion in those who
are witness to suffering neither is possible in a perfect world where suffering is barred. God
could have created us in one go as he did the angels, leaving out those important traits in our
being which absolutely demand temporality and its attendant developmental dialectic. The
angels serve God, but only beings capable of moral error are capable too of loving the Creator.

Irreducible complexity comes in two basic types: analyzable and unanalyzable. Biological
irreducible complexity is analyzable in the sense of a chess mating position that is definable, e.g., a
knight and King checkmate against an enemy King, but which cannot be produced by
over-the-board play (think of irreducibility here in accordance with the rules of play as laws of
microevolution, say) a human player must set up the board position by making several moves
simultaneously, c.f., multidimensional time.

Again, the chessboard position of enemy King checkmated by ones King and knight can be
inserted by hand and on the surface appears no different from other chessboard piece
configurations that can be brought about by over-the-board play (think of evolution here). But
there is the irreducible complexity of such a thing as consciousness, free will, aesthetic and moral
sense, linguistic ability, humor/laughter, and, of course probably also love. It is this
unanalyzable irreducible complexity which may most strongly testify to the reality of Deity, if one
is limiting oneself to philosophically or scientifically oriented arguments.

I think the textual comparisons made between the Qumranic documents (dating from 200 A. D. or
so) and various books of the New Testament demonstrate a stability of the text of the Bible through
copying and multiple translations that defies linguistic and script-entropic theoretical analyses for
ordinary texts. The Bible is simply not the cumulative result of some centuries long game of
Chinese Whispers.

Now how can matter perturb the quantum vacuum statistics in two opposite ways, you might ask?
By causing the vacuum to locally gravitate and by causing the vacuum to nonlocally gravitate.
(hypothesis)

Since gravity can viral-like induce mass in the quantum vacuum (dark matter) and because gravity
can also cause gravitational decoherence of nonlocally connected (quantum correlated) quantum
fluctuations, I believe that it is through the collective action of all sources of gravitation upon the
originally highly quantum correlated early universe that is contributing to the creation and action
of dark energy in causing the accelerated expansion of the cosmos.

April 2011
One must take into account the natural exponential decay of quantum entanglement with
distance and time something no faster than Gaussian, i.e.,
A
0
exp(ax
-2
), as opposed to inverse-square, i.e., A
0
x
-2
. (Could there be some gradient associated
with a scalar field, which transforms Gaussian-varying nonlocal entanglement into an
inverse-square varying field?) If we have decay of the aboriginal quantum entanglement as a
result of cosmological expansion, one which is secretly conserved, the decay being only by
virtue of a transformation of this quantum entanglement from its spin 1 form to that of collective
spin 0, then we would expect the Heisenberg 3-momentum uncertainty to be decreasing while the
imaginary 4-momentum uncertainty increases, all of which should be associated with an increase
of the velocity of light with cosmic time. The decrease in the velocity of light with cosmic time
might be associated with a decrease in the gravitation constant, much in the spirit of spatial
increases in the gravitational constant with increase mass distributions posited in some Machian
theories of gravity. In this way, dark energy is cosmological, associated with the time-variation
in the gravitational constant while dark matter is local and is associated with the spatial variation
in the gravitational constant. The so-called Pioneer effect would then be explicated in terms of
the back-reaction of gravitational time dilation upon a time-varying gravitational constant.

Dark matter is a nonequilibrium state of the quantum vacuum in which bosonic (3-momentum)
fluctuations dominate fermionic (imaginary 4-momentum) fluctuations in the vacuums energy,
acting like real matter and constituting a phase of an otherwise equilibrium vacuum state that
contributes to the small, gravity-sensitive cosmological constant, i.e., contributes some of the
missing matter behind the larger than explicable gravitational binding energy of the cosmos.

Dark energy is a nonequilibrium state of the quantum vacuum with oppositely perturbed
symmetry, i.e., fermionic fluctuations can be more easily understood in terms of the two types of
nonequilibrium vacuum statistics affect the local velocity of light.

C = /\E/ /\p

/\E = fermionic fluctuations (of imaginary or timelike 4-momentum) (in the form of
creation-annihilation of virtual e
+
e
-
pairs)

/\p = bosonic fluctuations (of spacelike 3-momentum) (in the form of emission-absorption of
force-mediating exchange particles, e.g., photon, W, Z, gluon, etc.)

Case 1: Dark matter - /\E < /\p and local value of c is less than the free space value (gravitation)

Case 2: Dark energy - /\E > /\p and local value of c is greater than the free space value
(anti-gravitation)

See Jack Sarfattis paper entitled, Destiny Matrix for his version of this hypothesis.

Galois algebraic theory proves that no polynomial roots exist (in the sense of mathematical
subsistence within any deductive procedure) for degree N = 5 polynomials or greater. Yet via
numerical approximation methods one can determine to arbitrary desired accuracy such
nonexistent roots of (N + 4) and higher degree polynomials. My comment on the relevance of
this mathematically interesting fact for the purposes of philosophical theology is so what.
Asymptotes are at the poles of a function because that is where the singularity in the functions
solution space lies.

Yes, but by the same token, Cantors diagonal argument proves that rational and counting
numbers cannot be placed in one-to-one correspondence with one another such that the set of
rational numbers is larger than the set of counting numbers, though this set itself be infinite. In
other words, Cantor proved that there are orders of infinity, which became the foundation of his
theory of transfinite cardinals. So I suppose any argument you want to base on the premise
below (that there is only one kind of infinity) can be rebutted through application of Georg
Cantors ideas about the transfinite, which contradict such a limited notion of the mathematical
infinite.
FEB 2011
The counting numbers can be represented as the inverse of fractions, that is, of
rational numbers. So the counting numbers select a subset of rational numbers. Cantors
diagonal argument is sound if the subset of rational numbers selected cannot themselves be placed
in a bijection or one-to-one correspondence with the set of rational numbers which constitute the
remainder of numbers that are not selected, i.e., the set of numbers that cannot be represented as
inverse fractions. For purposes of illustration consider the following: 1 = 1/1/1, 2 = 1/1/2, 3 =
1/1/3, etc. Counting numbers are equivalent to real numbers possessing each an infinite number
of significant digits.

Mind is the ground of metaphor, however a mind is not itself a metaphor; God is the ground of
existence, however God is not Himself an existent entity. Heisenberg energy uncertainty is the

metaphor, but is not itself a metaphor (this would be category mistake).

Cosmological expansion creates spacetime, that is to say the Universe does not expand into
some already existent space or spacetime. Consequently, positional uncertainty must increase
with the manufacturing of additional quantities of space along with the expansion of spacetime.
Hence momentum uncertainty increases and so the momentum spectrum of all particles and fields
within the Universe develops a long, high momentum tail, which statistically is correlated with a
net acceleration in direction of cosmological expansion. The speed of light also slows, which
compounds the appearance of accelerated expansion.

representing fluctuation in the vacuums momentum-energy. We should be able to elegantly
demonstrate this through use of fermionic and bosonic creation-annihilation operator definitions
of p, E, x and t. The problem here is that t is not an operator in quantum mechanics, unless
time can be quantized. It seems this might only be achievable on a four dimensional vacuum
crystal lattice composed of supersymmetric coupled oscillators. New conserved quantities such

It is well established that the density of Cooper pairs in a superconductor is a good index of the
degree of quantum coherence in the superconducting material. Similarly, the timelike current
density of virtual Cooper pairs is an index of the quantum coherence of the vacuum, which
decreases in the direction of increasing gravitational potential. How does this relate to the
magnetization and polarization of the quantum vacuum?

have to be distinct levels of some other quantity with information being a kind of this quantity

bootstrapping effects within the Kantian collective, intersubjective synthesis of the phenomenal

Ziad,

I thought that on a Friday, I'd give you something to puzzle over.

OK, you begin accelerating in a spaceship along the x-direction. Question: does this affect the
velocity of the ship along the y- or z-directions? Well, normally in a "vacuum" the answer is
"no." However, imagine for a moment that the spaceship is accelerating through what we might
term here an "active medium", say a medium able to induce drag where the amount of drag is
governed by a kind of stress-strain-shear medium resistance tensor. And how the medium is
interconnected between x- with y- and z-directions would determine the resistance put up by the
medium as a result of a body's acceleration through the medium along the x-direction.

Well, think about how as an object accelerates, it travels ever slower through time, the faster it
moves through space. Space and time in so-called "free space" are mutually perpendicular so how
can accelerating along the x-direction in space cause a deceleration along the ict-direction?

(Just think about how the range of a projectile can be calculated without explicit reference to the
acceleration of gravity which is always perpendicular to the forward momentum of the projectile
down range. )

Unless "free space" isn't "free" at all, but is part of an intrinsically "warped" spacetime.
prn=
This is
a Machian idea of course that in genuinely free space, i.e., within a truly "flat" 4-dimensional
spacetime, objects should not be expected to present any resistance to our attempt to accelerate
them! The Machian idea is basically this: inertia in "free space" (flat spacetime) is a
manifestation of the interaction of bodies interaction with the gravitational field of the Universe.

Of course, if local gravitational fields are present, then the body must also interact with this local
field in addition to the Universe's g-field and hence the effective inertial mass of the body would be
expected to be larger for a mass present near a massive body (and general relativity can predict just
how large this effect is). (Dark matter within the context of induced gravity theory?)

Otherwise, I just can't see how acceleration along "x" can affect motion along "ict" without such an
intrinsic coupling of time and space as befits a universal/global gravitational field.

What do you think?
Russell

Ziad,

Can time be decomposed into reversible and irreversible components? In free space? In a
gravitational field? If gravitation contributes to the decoherence of the wavefuntion and
decoherence processes underlie irreversible time,
@$
then how can gravitational time dilation slow
down the process of quantum decoherence?

Russell

Let me look at the second paragraph first. The Heisenberg uncertainty
principle (HUP) is not an epistemological principle; it is an
ontological one! What this means is that it is not on account of the
observer's physically interacting with the submicroscopic systems whose
state he wishes to measure that "causes" a "disturbance" to the system,
creating uncertainty in physical observables "conjugate" to the physical
observables he is attempting to measure. Rather the HUP is a
consequence of Fourier Analysis (pure mathematics) and the brute fact
that energy is proportional to Planck's constant, i.e., it is quantized, c.f., Time in Quantum
Mechanics, (Muga, Mayato and Egusqiza):



Note: It is unfortunate that Heisenberg published his "light microscope argument" in favor of his
principle because he sold his discovery short in doing so. The HUP is a much deeper principle of
nature than the hidden mechanics of some "inevitable interference by the observer" with that
which he attempts to measure/observe!

From Fourier analysis, we find that the more sharply defined a function
is in the time domain, the more ill defined is the function in the
complementary frequency domain (and vice versa). This is a purely
mathematical consequence and is demonstrated via application of the
Fourier Transform and Fourier Inverse Transform on any
piecewise-continuously differentiable function!

The same situation exists for wavelength and wavenumber (proportional to
momentum via "h")

As for the first paragraph, the "external spin" so-called is the angular
momentum of the electron (or positron) and the angular momentum is a
conserved quantity. Conservation is a mere "constraint" to the dynamics
of a subatomic process or of its dynamics and does not actually
contribute to the dynamics of the process itself.

In quantum mechanics, any process is possible which is not strictly
forbidden by constraints such as conservation laws. You cannot have any
more angular momentum, i.e., "external spin" after the subatomic process
than you had at its beginning, assuming all the original participants in
the collision are accounted for. If there is excess energy large
enough in magnitude to equal mc**2 for some other collection of
particles, then those particles will be produced with a certain
probability if the output quantum number balance with the input quantum
numbers or the original particles going into the reaction - which
particles and with which probabilities this happens is determined by the
summing of input real particles and virtual particles within Feynman
diagrams in which vacuum particle processes are taken into account.

To start the calculation the photon propagator has to be calculated from
appropriate Green's functions. The vacuum Green's functions have to
also be taken into account. With added energy, higher and higher order
Feynman diagrams representing more and more complex patterns of particle
creation (from the original photon and electric field/virtual
electrons/positrons are needed). The probability of a given order of
Feynman diagram falls off in probability with the inverse fine structure
constant. This constant is 1/137 so a 2nd order process is 1/137th as
probable as a first order process. So yes, there is a theory, that of
Feynman propagators/diagrams which can relate at least
probabilistically, external spin so-called to excess energy.

A good example of nonlocality for purposes of illustration here
is the sharing of a quantum encrypted key code or key, e.g., bank
account number, etc., first created upon collapse of a quantum
superposed wavefunction at both banks. The key code is in this way
shared instantly between the different quantum computers at the two
banks, which, other things being equal may be separated by any distance
whatever. This may be thought as the instantaneous transmission of
information, but information of a very special kind: unknown
information.

The conventional definition of information is that a message (of
however many bits), known to a given person (or persons) is coded in
some manner, maybe only in spoken language, e.g., "Hey, you wearing the
red cap, watch your step!", or in binary, hexidecimal, etc. and is then
transmitted to someone else, a receiver. Relativity places a limit on
the speed of such transmissions of "c" or less.

Not only is the key code created by the inherently random
processes of quantum superposition, and hence the key code is not known
prior to its transmission (transmission is constituted by either
participant in the information exchange performing a required quantum
measurement), but any attempts to (illegally) intercept the key code in
order to read it results in collapse of the quantum entanglement,
detected on both sides by the intended sharers of the key.

"Transmitter" and "receiver" are of equal status here (and are
replaced by the more general concept of "sharers of information")
because prior to the collapse of quantum entanglement and creation of
the key code, neither participant knows what information is to be
exchanged. So there is no flow of information from lesser to greater
uncertainty! And hence, no concern about relativity restrictions on
speed of information propagation!

Both participants in the quantum exchange of information know
the same amount before (nothing) and after the "transmission" of the key
code (however many bits). There is no "during" representing the
duration of the transmission as in the case of conventional, classical
information transmission - the quantum nonlocality principle implies
instantaneity in all Lorentz frames.

that it is not the chemical properties of the anaesthetic substance which are responsible for
consciousness through certainly chemistry plays an important role in the structuring of state of
consciousness once (individual) consciousness as such is given. May 2012 This further hints,
perhaps that nor is it the chemical reactions per se taking place in the brain that are essentially
productive of consciousness.

May 2012 A suggestive relationship between subjective and objective is pointed up by the fact that
the consciousness of the observer collapses the electron wavefunction in the two-slit experiment
while collapse of the wavefunction describing the network of quantum entangled microtubule
electrons is associated with the onset of general anaesthesia, i.e., loss of consciousness.

You say reality is quantum mechanical, which means composed of waves waves of what?
There is the receiver of these waves which is itself not waves. Collapse of the E is proof that
reductionism is false, i.e., that the classical world cannot be reduced to a purely quantum
mechanical one. Determinism goes hand-in-hand because each in its own way requires the
concept of a complete description. Does the context-sensitive nature of things demand that a
complete description in one field rely on a complete description of reality itself?

The failure of reductionism means that there is more than one spatial (or temporal) scale to reality,
to being and so justifies our belief in emergence, i.e., difference in scale or levels of description are
not mere appearance.

If the brain is an emergent structure then consciousness cannot be reduced to the sensing of the
brain and/or its activity by its embedding quantum vacuum. Emergence means that a beings
context never exhaustively or sufficiently embeds that thing. And ground is forever being
outstripped by the objects inhering in it.

Each consciousness has its own degeneracy, symmetry, conserved quantities, etc.

A non-falsifiable theory in the Popperian sense is Paulis not even wrong theory.

Have the initial methods of deconstruction sharpen the (appearance of the) already granted sharp
political divisions between liberal and conservative? Contrast this with critiques of Vidal,
Nader, Chomsky, Zinn, et al. who view these profound ideological divisions as superficial.

We might contrast these two critical methods as hypertextual (c.f., hypermedia) vs. power-analysis
critiques.) Could Foucaults thought perhaps unite the two?

How much do the alternate acceptations of writing (c.f., Writing as data or memory traces

metaphor for quantum mechanics?

Consciousness may be interpreted as breaks in the lockstep of deterministic brain processes or,
perhaps yielding its effective action there.

Rather we retain a memory of possessing less developed consciousness. Memory traces
deposited in a more primitive nervous system continuous with a less primitive one.

Nothing that could have laid down those memory traces from a recent set of sensory stimuli? The
infinite regress of appearances (cause & effect) originates from transcendentally creative (and
free) consciousness?

Yet another version of the Serpents lie is that the structure of the psyche is not a la Freud tripartite
but composed of four parts, Id, Ego, Superego, and God.

Place the four into a circle, show arrows representing mutual action of each on the other,
exhaustive or circular, uni- or bi-directional?

God creating Id constituting Ego via societally programmed language, Ego back-reacting on Id via
mechanisms of repression, Ego constituting Superego via social contract, Superego back-reacting
on Ego as moral sense/sublimation, Superego acting upon God via prayer, God back-reacting on
Superego via Holy Spirit, etc.

How does God communicate with the Ego (Man)? through the Id rather than through the
Superego as would be commonly assumed? This is analogous to the creationist sidestep in the
argument with evolutionists to speak of directed evolution.

Intelligence can be impersonal an eternally present filled such as vacuum energy.







Which arose first, the moral sense or hypocrisy? I say hypocrisy. This quite turns everything
on its head and so requires extraordinary explanatory grounds. It is the evil perpetrated by the
righteous, which provides strongest proof of Mans fallen nature, not the acts of psychopathic
dictators and sociopathic mass murderers. And it is only a highly personal, demonstrable proof
of mans fallenness, i.e., ones own state of damnation, which can convince the unbeliever of his
need of a savior. I was quite stunned to find that a Google search with such phrases, as house(s)
of spiritual complacency, c.f., my oft repeated utterance that Churches are houses of spiritual
complacency, etc. produced not a single hit. This has been remarked elsewhere, but bears
repeating here: if Christians really believed what they oft pay lip service to, i.e., the wonders of
heaven in store for each as term of their salvation, they would not be able to contain the inevitable
spontaneous displays of joy and exuberance. Note that there are indeed a very few Christians
who live their daily lives in continual witness to this heartfelt inner joy stemming from the
conviction of their religious beliefs, but again, the number of such individuals is vanishingly small
and should any given church be comprised by a majority of such individuals, this church would be
branded as a dangerous cult, raided by the FBI and perhaps set afire and razed to the ground.

There is much evidence that humankind didnt discover the wheel until around 5000 B.C. The
distance between ideas frequently contracts, sometimes radically once the latter derivative idea
is safely in hand. There is an idea popular amongst conservatives that values held dear (or
merely frequently paid lip service to) by most Americans such as industriousness, freedom,
democracy, capitalism, advanced technology, etc. are common sense and not socially and
culturally conditioned as are the alternate values opposed to these which are held dear by peoples
of widely differing traditional cultures.

It is widely believed that a person from a traditional or tribal, i.e., primitive culture is happy to give
up the cosy small world of his traditional culture in exchange for a doubt-ridden, disoriented
position within the infinitely larger universe opened up to him through his society having come
into contact with an advanced industrialized colonial power. Similarly, it is smugly supposed
that the farmer of the early 1800s life was improved when he moved to a tenement in a squalid
industrial center to slave 14 hours a day at the factory for bare subsistence level wages. Extol the
virtues of the free market though without having apprised oneself of the myriad external
controls, which are applied to the economy to at turns stay and guide the Smithian invisible hand.

It is commonly believed amongst amateur historians that the causes of the French Revolution were
simply class envy and the misery experienced by the peasant classes. Because of the low literacy
level amongst the lower classes, it was thought that the ideas of Hobbes, Montesquieu, Voltaire

But
the grand conceptions of these gentlemen as it turned out, easily survived being stripped down and
applied to the consciousness and conditions of persons individual and collective. But it was the
historically and culturally conditioned preexistent class structure, which permitted this trickle
down of intelligent application. And it is not as though these distinguished philosophers had
really formed their lofty conceptions in the ivory tower as it were. Moreover, for the peasants
part, one does not always have to possess a full understanding of the subtleties of language to
correctly perceive that one has been the subject of insult.

Taking the theory of Electro Magnetic Quantum Gravity (EMQG) and replacing charge with spin
in the role of the theorys dynamical mainspring might be worth investigating. Similar remarks
perhaps apply to Haisch, Rueda and Puthoffs theory. How are we to define the surface area
proportional to the entropy associated with the Davies-Unruh acceleration temperature?

If the world possesses no complete description, a theory of everything is not really possible, they

Quantum entanglement is important to maintaining the bulk properties of solids, i.e., photon
entanglement underlies polarization of a dielectric medium and spin +/-1/2 entanglement
magnetization of diamagnetic media. The conservation of von Neumann entropy points to the
conservation of quantum entanglement and the unification of polarization and magnetization of
bulk media as spacelike and timelike components of a conserved polarmagnetic 4-vector point to
maximally entangled Cooper pairs and maximally entangled photons as timelike and spacelike
components of a conserved entanglement 4-vector. In this way, the gravitational redshift and the
Davies-Unruh entropy are seen as manifestation of spacelike and timelike components of
bi-superfluid quantum mechanism underlying an already unified theory of quantum gravity, c.f.,
Sakharov, Volovik, Reznik, Alsing, et al., c.f. also vacuum entanglement, Wigner rotations, Pauli
blocking of virtual fermions, loss of Cooper pair entanglement and

enhancement of virtual
boson entanglement in accelerated reference frames, etc.

How do we apply the distinction of working versus recognition vocabulary to information or

There is an analogous interpretation of random mutation upon which natural selection operates
to the Huxlean nonlocal theory of perception, i.e., mutations are also nonlocal if not in physical
origin, then in meaning and reference. Language must fail to refer, e.g., answering machine
prompt, digital computer phone operator, etc., when there is insufficient context, which is to say,
proper embedding of the informational system in nonlocally connected quantum vacua (note: we
do not here refer to anything like the quantum vacuum)

Indeed, excavated ancient libraries could not be trusted to contain the works of intelligent men
and women, c.f., Charles B. Thaxton, In Pursuit of Intelligent Causes, Origins & Design,,

Wigner derived a formula relating a clocks accuracy to the uncertainty in a time interval measured
by a clock in terms of the clocks mass and physical dimensions, c.f., The Ascent of Life, New
Scientist, Dec. 11-17, 2004. The information content that we may associate with a given
quantity of energy uncertainty is dependent on the degree of quantum entanglement of the noise
spectrum of energy fluctuations comprising this quantum uncertainty of energy.

Although the pressure of information within the brain is thought to be mediated via nonlocally
correlated system of fluctuations of momentum energy of electrons flowing within tubulin dimmer
proteins composing neural microtubules, the converse of this is not necessarily the case, i.e., not all
such system of quantum fluctuations are encoded with accessible) information.

There must be some kind of von Neumann information uncertainty principle involved here
that prevents accessible and inaccessible information from being commensurate in content,
i.e., no underlying informational common denominator by which the information content/density
of accessible information might be compared with that of inaccessible information.

<Ning Li> and <manipulate gravity>

The so-called Pioneer anomaly is quite simply explained in terms of the deceleration of the
spaceships radio signal (being received by an earth tracking station) in the direction oriented from
tracking station to probe, combined with an assumption that this deceleration vector points away
from the Sun itself rather than away from the tracking station.

The Pioneer probe has a component of velocity away from the tracking station of Hr, where H is
the Hubble constant and r is the directed line segment connecting probe and tracking station.
As the radio signal from the probe propagates in the direction of the tracking station, the line
segment, r decreases at a rate, dr/dt = c. The unaccounted for component of outward velocity,
Hr = v is therefore decreasing at the rate, d/dt(Hr) = Hdr/dt = Hc and so the radio signal is
accelerating in the direction of the space tracking station by an amount Hc. If this effect is not
corrected for, then the spacecraft for component of acceleration, assumed to be specifically
sunward.

Parmenides once exclaimed, Nothing cannot exist! Modern physics has proven Parmenides
correct and spacetime is now understood to be a structure of momentum-energy just as indeed
matter is. And the dynamical link between momentum-energy and spacetime is really just that
maintained between real and virtual momentum-energy, subject to the laws of the quantum
statistics of fluctuations and their correlations. For example, each Lorentz frame (inertial frame)
corresponds to a finely tuned set of nonlocally connected (quantum correlated) quantum
fluctuations in momentum-energy. In free space, real vs. virtual is an arbitrary distinction.
Not so for the case of gravitational fields.

It is a fortunate grace that intuition complements the fundamental limitations of Gdel-incomplete
systems of theory. Self-reference is an inevitable earmark of a description that does not merely
parallel (and this fails to refer to) that which the theory seeks to describe. Does the procedure by
which a natural language is formalized carry the contaminant leading to the Gdel-incompleteness
of the new formal system (language) that results?

An example of a discontinuity in the semantic map of a language is the opposition in German,
willkurlich vs. unwillkurlich. Willkurlich: arbitrarily, uncontrolled, autocratic, capriciously,
arbitrarily; Unwillkurlich: involuntarily, in unwilling manner, instinctively, naturally,
spontaneously, automatically. . .
April 2013
another example are the English words, completeness
vs. incompleteness, which are mutually contradictory, however, the German translation of these
two terms is Unvollstaendigkeit and Vollkommenheit are not mutually contradictory in
German. One might argue then that the German terms are less ambiguous than their equivalent
English terms.

The highlighted words in each definition indicate those words, which in part compose the semantic
discontinuity. The above is perhaps in important extension of Derridas critique of rational
thought (critique of Logos) as entirely founded upon unstable oppositions of dual categories.

2) This is going to hurt me more than its going to hurt you.
3) The greater good must be served.
4) We know their best interests better than they do.

Theorem and the insufficiency of the quantum vacuum in its role as determinate ground, or are all
true theorems of mathematics waiting, some with infinite patience, to be discovered by

The dialectic of thought by which contradictions are dissolved relies characteristically upon the

Quantum uncertainty represents not as is commonly supposed the effect of the observers
inevitable physical interference with any object he observes, but rather represents the effect of the
observers self-interference. This follows from the ding an sich as collaborative,
intersubjectively based spectrum of eigenfunctions to a single-observer-based solitary
eigenfunction (appearance).

The interaction of the Kantian categories with the primeval chaos (that forms the stuff of the

Because one cannot measure ones velocity relative to the quantum vacuum energy field, it follows
that one cannot divide or partition this vacuum into distinct Lorentz-framed subvacua. But EPR
effects due to measurement succeed so it appears in doing just this very thing! Lorentz
invariance implies that the vacuum is densely packed with Lorentz subvacua. Als ding an
sich, the quantum vacuum indeed possesses a Lorentz spectral structure, however this structure
must remain intrinsic quantum spin whose direction is observer dependent provided that an act of
measurement is performed by the observer.

Whats the distinction at the B-particle level end between an observers having performed a

Derrida got the idea for deconstruction by reflecting on how Aristotles Metaphysics was only
termed such because meta is Greek for after and Aristotle had chosen to place his volume
entitled Metaphysics immediately after his volume on Physics. Now was it a mere
coincidence that Aristotle placed his metaphysics sequentially next after his Physics? Or did
Aristotle have something in mind similar to Newton who intentionally placed his Queries after
his physical theorems and propositions within his book, Optiks. An investigation of this
question along these and similar lines could well serve as an ausgangspunkt for a new theory of
the deconstruction of Deconstruction.

Metaphors may seem arbitrary when we have only scratched their surface, seem pregnant and
prescient with inner or latent truth upon our delving deeper but only to appear wholly arbitrary and
historically conditioned upon our digging deeper still. But is meaning built upon history of
contingently associated conditions necessarily arbitrary?

Derrida also is just as guilty of attempting to system build upon some external point of reference
relative to the semiotic continuum as are those whom he so scathingly critiques. Derrida
pointed out that semiosis is inherently unstable in the sense that no system of extended semiosis
could retain its self-referentiality indefinitely, i.e., the self-referential nature of extended semiosis
is inherently unstable.


Since /\ > - universally repels and /\ < 0 universally attracts we have the Bondi vacuum propeller
in which the center of mass of the rigid device self accelerates without any g-force, i.e., a
self-generating timelike geodesic with on board /\-field generators. Sarfattis stated mechanism
of space drive acceleration is reminiscent of our stated mechanism underlying gravity.

The metaphorical reality of free will necessitates our acceptance of a parallel universe ontology.
The constitutive and interactive dynamics of this ontology may indeed be more or less adequately
described by quantum mechanics, e.g., relative quantum field theory. If we are not ready to give
up the principle of sufficient reason, then there must be some causal substrate in which the
possibly fractally structured quantum multiverse is embedded, which governs the dynamics of
parallel universe engenderment and collapse.

The relation of consciousness to free will might be most generally characterized in the following
manner: consciousness is the processing of free will is just as free will is the processing of
consciousness.

The expansion of spacetime: with passing cosmic time, the causal substrate is able to support a
more and more expansive universe.

One is not ones same self when part of a group as when by ones self. This fact is more obvious
to some than to others. Those for when social play acting is effortless, namely those whom are
deemed by the psychological profession to be the most well adjusted must at the same time be
the most ingenuous (nave) or, paradoxically, the most disingenuous. The logic at work here
reminds us of the similar logic by which we may categorize people in terms of the results of a
polygraph test: (1) lying: (a) guilty, (b) innocent but neurotic; (2) telling the truth: (a) guilty but
sociopathic, (b) innocent. Since all intelligence agencies, e.g., CIA, NSA, FBI, etc. require
applicants to pass a lie-detector test, then presumably these agencies become stocked with two
fundamentally different (but perhaps also complementary) kinds of people: those who have never
done anything that they need lie about, and those who have much to hide, but who happen to be
skilled or unconscionable liars. This is perhaps a rather less than ideal ground upon which to
build an intelligence culture and command hierarchy. But certainly an intelligence organization
which owes at least some accountability to congress if not to the public must not permit the highest
levels of its hierarchy to become populated with Svengalis and sociopathic masterminds, but
rather with individuals who can be sacrificed in a pinch without the organization or its secrets
being exposed to any real danger. The Machevellian sociopaths on the other hand are ideally
adapted for field work.

How an acceleration of a mass along say the x-direction be at once coupled to a deceleration along
the ict-direction. Space must possess a stress tensor which serves to couple spacelike and
timelike dimensions.


Mild applied forces produce more acceleration than relativistic mass increase; the converse is true,
however for what we might term violent applied forces, i.e., the affect of the applied force in this
instance produces more relativistic mass increase than acceleration. This is only to be expected
since as the velocity of light is approached by an accelerating mass, additional inputs of kinetic
energy do not produce increases in velocity of the accelerating object so much as increases in the
objects relativistic mass. This line of discussion suggests that Bohm was right in speaking of
mass as representing locked up internal motions. The above point is very crudely put, but
illustrates Machs principle that there is a delay in the response of local matter to applied forces
due to the feedback not from distant masses per se (as Mach once supposed) but from the distant
vacuum fields which have themselves taken on mass on account of perturbation of these vacuum
fields by local matter, c.f., Voloviks theory of the Cosmological Constant. Relativistic mass
increase due to acceleration seems to suggest a progressive saturation in the lines of
communication connecting local to nonlocal vacuum fields, what we might term here bandwidth
saturation of the local-nonlocal vacuum field interface. This interpretation of Machian inertia is
along similar lines to cellular automata (CA) inertia theory.

In pluriformal metaphysics, c.f., Philip K. Dicks Descent of the Pluriforms, a prerequisite for a
systems becoming conscious is that the system become complex and integrated enough to:

(1) select its own unique ground state and

(2) surprise the global quantum vacuum by virtue of the systems action

Action here denotes initiating a causal chain of course, a raft of systemic or organic changes
must then be engendered throughout spacetime within the scope of some density matrix so that
probability remains conserved despite the pool of preexistent possibilities having been (by virtue
of some free agents action) added to, i.e., metaphysical work having been performed with the
resultant enlargement of the being of Being.

But boundary conditions placed upon consciousness serve not only to channel, structure and
delimit global consciousness, but also to resonantly tune to both intersubjective and
trans-subjective contents of consciousness. An important distinction here is that between
inter- and trans- subjective. The only truly Platonic forms may what we might term
transcendental identities.

The reality of a hidden timelike momentum is implicated by the careful analysis of the results of
high-energy elastic collisions in which 3-momentum conservation ostensibly fails though
relativistic calculations reveal that the quantity of total 4-momentum for the entire system of
particles is conserved once the hidden components of initial and final timelike 4-momentum are
properly taken into account. In ultrahigh energy particle collisions, i.e., collisions in which the
kinetic energies of some of the particles exceed the mass energies of various species of subatomic
particles, a component of the timelike momentum must be comprised of creation of new particles
in time. Is the distinction between real and virtual then merely one of perspective? Strangely,
the answer to this question is: Yes and no. When under acceleration, particle creation is
observed in both the laboratory frame and the reference frame of the accelerating observer. In
distinct inertial frames, there must be a distinct partitioning of the total 4-momentum current
density into real and virtual parts.

The preestablished harmony lies not between Leibnizian monads, but between levels of
description, which accounts for Wigners unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics in the
physical sciences. Idealism, Empiricism and Kantian transcendental philosophy are but
different embarking points within Penroses self-referential triangle of
Mental-Physical-Mathematical-Mental.

Mass represents bound vacuum energy in which the densities and current densities of /\p and /\E
are no longer perfectly counter balanced, the quantum statistics of the underlying bosonic and
fermionic fluctuations to these uncertainties are shifted from perfectly random, i.e., information
encoded purely internally (also equipartation of quantum entanglement between its boson
polarization and fermion magnetization forms) due to shift in correlations of these fluctuations in
time and space reflected in the variation in quantum entanglement of virtual bosons and fermions
from its structure in free space. Smaller /\E controlling larger /\p represents increased virtual
boson entanglement and decreased spin-1/2 entanglement.

Exploration of both ideas and the outer world only provides the narcissist further grist for the fuller
and ever more minute contemplation by him so to speak of his own navel. Navel here
coincidentally serves as an excellent metaphor: point of closest connection of the incarnation back
to his/her physical origin, itself a metaphor for metaphysical origin in the form of the true self or
Self. The principle illusion/delusion motivating the narcissist in his sacred quest for ever more
perfect self-contemplation is his confusion of a merely general human nature, one confined and
channeled, i.e., instantiated or particularized in his own highly contingent (existent) being with just
this arbitrary and contingent and hence highly idiosyncratic expression of the generic
humanness. C.f., my poetic explanation of mans hubris as infused with the tragically mistaken
logic whereby the drop imagines itself to be secretly the ocean because made from the very same
substance. The horrible truth is quite to the contrary (that is, horrible for Satan and other
narcissistic types) (joyous for the humble of heart), namely that each soul is a uniquely and
separately created substance though each possessing the same origin with the others, that is in
having been created ex nihilo qua nihilo rather than as Satan would have us erroneously believe,
ex nihilo qua ex pleno. This lie is hidden at the root of transcendentalists equating of the
Void with impersonal divinity, i.e., with the Plenum. This clever identification of creature
with Creator appears in myriad hidden guises, just the most recent of which is the cosmologists
equation of cosmological constant and quantum vacuum. Further support for the hypothesis that
each person is a separately and uniquely created (and not derived) substance: God desires to be
loved by the wholly other rather than involve himself in a (to him) transparent charade of self-love,
i.e., being loved by beings, wholly derived from Himself and whose substance is one with that of
the creator (note: is substance really only ultimately a question of topology while a plurality of
substance transcends the topological potential of a mere unitary substance? c.f., unitary within
the specialized vocabulary of quantum theory). Language determines thought to the extent
which the dynamics of speech creativity outstrips (and hence amplifies) the intention of the
speaker, c.f., God spoke the world into being, c.f., Jewish Kabalic symbology and

the mechanics of his incompleteness theorem is based. Investigate the concept of radical

Environmental decoherence possesses an underlying mechanism composed of two parts
decoherence of the system due to action of the external environment and that due to the complexity
of the systems Psi overwhelming the computational capacity of its ground state. Now both
mechanisms reduce to the same underlying one since environmental decoherence is an
overwhelming of the quantum systems ground state computational capacity due to inputs external
to the system whereas so-called spontaneous decoherence achieves this through internal
complexity of the system in terms of its quantum sate permutational/combinational structure
outstripping the embedding quantum vacuums computational capacity. In other words,
spontaneous decoherence is owing to classical communication parallel processing outstripping
quantum serial computation in a word, when CPU outstrips the bandwidth connecting it to RAM,

How does quantum entanglement related to Heisenberg uncertainty? One would assume that
increased entanglement of virtual photons on the quantum vacuum, say due to movement down a
gravitational potential gradient, should be coupled with a narrowing of Heisenberg energy
(imaginary momentum) uncertainty.

The orthodox cosmological view is that the universe is only expanding on average over
intergalactic and larger distance scales. But this is perhaps only an appearance due to the fact
that stellar and local galactic peculiar velocities are much larger than would be the local Hubble
recessional velocities at such distance scales. A statistical analysis of local stellar and galactic
peculiar velocities would reveal, if only our sample recessional velocity of local stars and galaxies.
The problem here is that the sample size may need to be so large (in order to overcome the random
spread of local velocities) that we should once again be considering cosmological distance scales.
This may be the cash value of the assertion that space is only expanding when averaged over a
very large scale. In fact, the local Hubble expansion of the Universe would provide us with a
handy solution to the Pioneer 10/11 anomalies.

Because of the necessity of relativistic factors such as historical conditions for fixing the identity
(or supplementary the indeterminate identity) of physical, chemical and biologically indeterminate
systems, there can be no absolute identity for such systems. A simple example is how the
meaning of male and female shifts if the Biblical Creation Story, i.e., 1
st
Chapters of the book of
Genesis is rewritten with Eve created before Adam. Another possibility in this vein is the
proprietary nature of the relation embodied in Sheldrakes notion of morphic resonance, e.g., the
duplicate of an entity cannot possess duplication of the 1
st
original entitys morphic resonant
structure, e.g., the Pauli Principle in quantum mechanics, the no-cloning theorem in the theory of
quantum information, the insuperable difficulties in perfecting the cloning of higher mammalian
life forms. The phenomenon of spontaneous decoherence may well provide heretofore
unrecognized direct evidence of the uniqueness of complex entities sustained by the quantum
vacuum. The uniqueness of naturally occurring systems poses a perhaps unbridgeable limitation
to the otherwise perfect rationality of science.

One important feature of language, which limits rational understanding is the process by which an
imbalance in the juxtaposition of dual categories can become overgrown to such an extent that one
category wholly subsumes its erstwhile opposite, e.g., dream vs. reality, good vs., evil, etc. But
this only seems to occur as a result of the growing acceptance within the linguistic community of
some new set of metaphysical principles. This suggests the possibility, much entertained by
Heidegger that language determines to the extent that it embodies a set of metaphysical principles.
Possibly metaphysics, rather than being an example of metaphysical thought is in reality the
ground of a languages organic metaphysical system.

Quantum decoherence is generally a disruption in the phase relationships between components of

Shannon information, as boundary conditions on instantaneously transmitted von Neumann
information, is itself limited to greater than or equal to the velocity of light.

Failures in information transmission between minds is due to the breakdown in transmission of
Shannon boundary conditions as energy transmitted at less than or equal to c. In this case there
is a kind of decoherence, which prevents the instantaneous transmission of the von Neumann
information. In other words, language is guided telepathy. And all communication that
succeeds in going through from one mind to another, necessarily passes infinitely quickly along
the prepared quantum state boundary conditions.

<metaphysics and falsifiability>

One general problem with the Popperian doctrine of falsifiability is that different systems of
metaphysics, e.g., myriad alternate interpretations of quantum theory vis a vis the quantum
measurement problem only become distinguishable in terms of a so-called truth value upon
reaching the necessary order of mathematical and/or physical model approximation within the
proper empirical domain, i.e., domain of potential experience. So clearly Poppers falsifiability
is a function of the ruling scientific paradigm, which is to say, falsifiability is paradigm-dependent.
And so the Popperian doctrine itself postulates a metaphysical principle, falsifiability that is itself
paradigm based and so ultimately unfalsifiable.

The dynamics of quantum and chronology protection which appears to underwrite all that is
paradoxical and counterintuitive in quantum behavior was perhaps a design necessity as each
human being is, ideally at least conscious and possessed of a free will and hence would constitute
a creator inhabiting creation. This should have posed as disruptive an influence upon the created
order as is usually the case for a dreamer upon attaining lucidity within his dream: the underlying
dynamics of the artificially created world of the dreamer begins to destabilize, uncohere, if you
will. Any human being with a normally functioning brain and mental faculties, e.g., reasoning,
memory, imagination, etc. secretly possesses the Archimedean lever that he or she might use,
intentionally or unintentionally to disrupt the whole continuum of human mortal existence. So
built into the fabric of creation is a failsafe: all potential fulcrum-points ultimately prove illusory
or all possible methods to reach them self-thwarting, i.e., either efforts to tamper with a critical
system function is directly stymied by mutual interference between system and observer or
enough self-interference is created to cause the observer to break off his probings or, failing this,
the observer is ejected altogether from the game. Now all of this presupposes that there is no
automated system adequate to perform all of these protective functions, rather some sort of outside
system of regulation (constituted by an entity or body of entities not so bound and limited as those
actively participating in the game of life, c.f., cellular automata theory) that sees to it that the
rules of the game are followed at all times. It may be that consciousness of some kind or as
such was included in creation, that is, allowed into the game for just such a reason the
Archimedean lever is the human free and creative will, consciousness as such of which mere
human consciousness is perhaps but a trivial instance acts in the role of universal regulator this
perhaps because what is contrary to logic is inconceivable to pure consciousness. By making
consciousness the source of the stream constituted by the dynamics of quantum mechanical
systems, any attempt by observers and experimenters to strike too deeply at the heart of this
dynamics with investigative probing shall, by the insidious logic of subjective and objectives
mutual coupling via feedback, introduce a growing interference term into the density matrix
describing the system that shall wash out details of quantum mechanical processes of scale smaller
than the respective Heisenberg uncertainties.

An important part of the metaphysical necrophiles daily credo is that all events, reactions and
processes, etc. taking place within the world are at bottom trivial. All that may be lacking in a
given instance is the practical availability of physical evidence and analytical skill. If the killing
of Christ was a conspiracy, then investigation of the crime would in the necrophiles view
potentially reveal no more than would a more thorough investigation of the Kennedy
assassination. The mystic on the other hand knows in his heart that reality truly is inexhaustible,
which is to say vis a vis the necrophile, bottomless. To the Christian mystic, the murder of Jesus
Christ was in accordance with a divine plan and a divinely orchestrated interplay of genuinely free
human wills.

Decoherence is a mechanism of containment - of disturbances introduced onto the quantum
mechanical gameboard that otherwise might interact in a manner disruptive of the gameboards
normally self-sustaining dynamics (really the gameboards self-sustainment is on account of the
collective subconscious efforts of countless individual minds).
@$
The mutual quantum
correlation of all of these minds presupposes some kind of prior mutual contact.

There seems to be two basic types of quantum coherence: that underlying the transmission of
energy on one hand, and that supporting the transmission of information. Previous arguments
against the possibility of real transmission of information between distinct subjectivities must now
be reexamined and perhaps reconciled and integrated with deductions from the new paradigm of
counter-deconstruction. Actually, the safeguarding mechanisms of quantum and chronology
protection continually act so as to thwart any real, as opposed to merely subjectively symbolic
deconstruction of reality.

Perhaps it would be possible to develop a wide variety of communications experiments in which
ordinary or commonplace instances of communications difficulties/failures, e.g., transmission line
or, more generally, transmission medium technical difficulties, transmitter or receiver technical
problems, etc., or even the all too common case where one individuals vocal communication to
another passed beneath a critical decibel threshold, preventing transmission of the intended
message in which the roles of quantum coherence/decoherence could be shown to be ubiquitous.

Intentionality and communications intent are more closely related than a mere shared linguistic
commonality, i.e., the word intent, but are subject to the dynamics underlying the problems and
paradoxes associated with the now longstanding problem of quantum measurement by virtue of
this very general problems strongly suspected intimate connection to human consciousness or
consciousness as such.


Alice and Bob can only perform simultaneous quantum measurements on their respective
component spin-1/2 particles provided that the nonlocal connection between the two particles is
decohered sufficiently to comply with the Bell inequality. Now certainly telepathy between
Alice and Bob would permit them to conduct simultaneous to within /\t (of what?) Here we see
the relationship between EPR, Bell Inequality and the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle. So von
Neumann information, i.e., total information Shannon information is necessarily subquantal?

It is somewhat ironic that the counter-deconstructive paradigm of quantum nonlocality-mediated
communication also seizes upon a version of the truth versus dissemination duality in order to
make the case for metaphysical presence and contra Saussure and Derrida the non-arbitrariness of
the relationship of signifier to signified, i.e., the objective structure of signs.

A hidden medium of communication should never be suspected to exist provided it closely enough
parallels and piggy backs upon some other overt communication medium. With a logic
similar to that of Heisenbergs gamma ray microscope argument for quantum uncertainty as well
as to that of solipsisms being so illusively un-falsifiable, that is, through a possible exact
parallelism of mental attention and creativity, every effort to uncover the operation of a covert
communication medium, say by preparing experimental conditions to separate the covert medium
from the overt that it closely parallels is self-thwarting and this is reflected in inevitable
disturbances being engendered within the open medium just sufficient to carry the quantity of
information in question, namely that which we might have attributed to the hidden medium.

Perhaps some future developments in the refinement of the transactional interpretation of quantum
mechanics, specifically, transactional quantum information theory, shall one day demonstrate that
every communication between persons via classical media must first be preceded and then
accompanied by a quantum-nonlocal handshake of the respective embedding quantum vacua of
the two minds exchanging classical, vocalized linguistically structured information. This
approach to describing intersubjective communication shall perhaps permit unification of two
descriptions communication: inter- and infrasubjective communication. Classical
communication first establishes nonlocal connectivity between the brains (conceived of as wet
and warm quantum computers) of the communicants and the ongoing exchange of
linguistically-mediated classical or Shannon information between the communicants serves only
to sculpt the preestablished quantum nonlocal connection between them. The intuitive
definition of information as a quantity corresponding to a reduction in uncertainty on the part of
communicants may support the above understanding of communication, provided the proper
connections between classical and quantum uncertainty can be demonstrated.
October 2011
The
question arises here of the importance of a distinction, that between the quality and the quantity of
information represented by any reduction in Heisenberg uncertainty. During quantum
teleportation experiments, the quantum state is always teleported entangled with its attendant
quantum uncertainty where the local vacuum states at the transmission and reception locales
are likely untraceably and unreferenceably distinct, so that the information that would have been
represented by a reduction of some of the quantum uncertainty at the transmitter is not expected to
match up with the would be information resulting from a similar reduction in this quantum
uncertainty at the receiver. This is consistent with the notion that it is actually only data which
are transmitted, regardless as to whether this transmission is sub- or superluminal.

On the above expressed view language is more or less the transparent medium of communication
that philosophers naively believed it was prior to the advent of Saussure. We are indeed
metaphysically present each to the other through vocal (and possibly also written) communication.
The two interpretations of human communication, both Saussurian and 18
th
Century idealist are
equally supported by the facts this predominantly on account of Special Relativitys ban on
superluminal communication and the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, the epistemological and
ontological interpretations of which are themselves empirically indistinguishable. The only
basis for the distinction of classical from quantum communication is the following is the presence
or absence of communicants consciousness.



Communication then needs to be modeled as viral transmission of content and not mere mutual
enabling of abstract thought. One less than obvious implication of EPR is that it is possible to
conduct separated by a spacelike interval that are simultaneous to within less than /\t. And yet
the collapse of the Psi is known to be in some sense simultaneously determining the spins of both
particles. But in what sense?

An alternate way to understand gravitational decoherence from Penroses, that is, in terms of his
so-called one-graviton (virtual mass) limit is to look at the differential rates of temporal evolution
of each spin-1/2 particle on account of their occupying distinct spacetimes (non-inertial frames).
The wavefunction itself should undergo deterministic evolution as dictated by the
time-independent Schrodinger equation, at least initially when the composite spin-0 particle first
decays. Here the Psi is a superposition of two eigenstates, (+,-) and (-,+). Shouldnt both
clocks collocated with the spin-1/2 component particles stay synchronized if they are occupying
the same 3-hypesurface? No, because the spacetime interval between the component spin-1/2
particles is generally what is responsible for the decoherence of Psi. This introduces a
complication into Special Relativitys concept of simultaneity which surely is worthy of
investigating.

Multiply parallel systems of appearance. . . Ground cannot be fathomed in terms of any possible
collection of modifications to it. This is much in the same way that thought as a process of
abstraction (from a kind of ground of intuition) cannot produce a complete integral description of
its own fundamental process, c.f., Goedels Incompleteness Theorem.

It is pure superstition to believe in the emergence of consciousness through the mere medication of
ground. Of course, self-consciousness may well be the result of modifications to the ground of
being brought about through the brains functioning in the role of a system of quantum vacuum
fluctuation correlation modifiers.

Can there be any fundamental distinction between individual consciousness and consciousness as
such.

If so, this would imply that individual consciousness possesses a quality that transcends all
possible experience of the individual. But dont we already have this situation in Phildickean
theology?

Chance, though it has never been the author of order, has certainly played an instrumental role in

Self-imposed limitation on the part of transcendent beings is either fundamentally like or unlike

Emanationism of Dicks Pluriform theology can provide foundation-setting and self-consistent

Phildickean theology is a postulate that is accepted by some theological questioners for the same
reason that cosmological inflation or superstring theory was so readily accepted in the astrophysics
and theoretical physics communities the single postulate readily imposes order upon a system of
problems and inconsistencies in a way that appeals to the aesthetic sense.

Aesthetic sense as the utmost generalization of the concept of symmetry. What is the most

Only decohered quantum systems may supply the boundary conditions for coherent quantum
states. This allows us to distinguish the two interpretations of Schrodingers cat: live cat vs.

In the same way that causality can be deconstructed in terms of fluctuations and correlations,
communication of abstract symbols and relations may be deconstructed in terms of exchanges of
entanglement of subquantal information. This is different from mere filtering of signals (just
more of the same of self-imposed limitation, which prepares the ground for but is not itself a

The information exchanged in projected quantum entanglement (PQE) is subquantum because its

Gravitational decoherence not only stabilizes mental functioning of individuals but also social
groups and societies. Note: sensitivity to initial conditions (and boundary conditions) would
mean that the first effects of damped quantum decoherence would occur at the uppermost levels of
social organization. This is because exchange of information between persons is subquantal and
so must be governed by a dampening of quantum coherence and creation of new entanglements of

What variety of mass is implied by the finite range of quantum entanglement? Each observers

Penroses one-graviton-limit on the energy spread for a single virtual process is a limit on how
energetic a system of fluctuations can be without becoming directly measurable.

If directly measurable means the same thing as intersubjective and hence, communicable, then
which quantity is communicated, Shannon or von Neumann information. Shannon information
guides transmission of von Neumann information, i.e., abstract language guides concrete
telepathic communication. (Review arXiv papers discussing communication between Alice and
Bob in curved spacetime.

The relationship between energy and time is a more subtle one than is revealed by the simple
relation, /\E/\t >= hbar!

Time must be slowed down in order to simulate structures possessing internal degrees of
freedom. And so the increased /\p demanded by this will go into the binding energy of the
spontaneously created composite (as opposed to fundamental) structure. Creativity appears to
demand limitation be placed upon the ground from which novelty springs not just true of creation
from quantum vacuum fluctuations, but of all forms of creative endeavor. Not all dynamical
behavior can be described in terms of homogeneous differential equations.

It may turn out that composite structures can only be engendered from noninertial spacetimes, i.e.,
partially Bose condensed vacua where (as in quantum photonics).

Limitation is necessary to enable the full creative capacity of the godhead. Unfortunately much

By conserving entanglement, fluctuation energy does not have to be individually conserved,

Science fiction idea told to Rachel: information really is transmitted by language (quantum

Question: could a cosmic ray entering a deep gravity well ever exceed the local velocity of light,

relativity.

So called internal binding energy, gravitational binding energy in particular may not be able to
quantum tunnel across a potential barrier as a pure quantum state, but must traverse the barrier in
the form of a statistically mixed state. What can an examination of the composite particles
density matrix tell us about the mechanics of the particles manner of tunneling across the barrier?
This is because the gravitational field is mediated by how the particle or system concerned is
dynamically related to the quantum vacuum in which the system is embedded. This suggests
that the tunneling of a composite particle through the potential barrier is impeded by the binding
energy of the particle and that the degree of this particles being impeded as it passes through the
barrier is importantly connected to the inertial and gravitational mass of the particle.

Only a tiny fraction of the quantum vacuums energy density is devoted to supporting a given
Lorentz or inertial frame. This is perhaps the reason that the cosmological constant appears to be
so close to zero the virtually infinite energy density of the vacuum of approximately 10
95
kg/m
3

is spread throughout a four dimensional spacelike volume.

So then can a relationship between
the energy density of the quantum vacuum and the magnitude of the cosmological constant tell us
something about the four-dimensional discreteness of spacetime such that the magnitudes of these
two quantities become equal? The energy requirement for acceleration of a massive body
consists in that of transitioning through a continuum of distinct quantum vacua, i.e., vacua
possessing momentum and energy uncertainty in continuously varying different proportions.

The endpoints of a quantum-tunneling trajectory are necessarily spacelike separated because the
tunneling particle possesses an imaginary momentum and negative kinetic energy while traversing
the potential barrier.

In a deterministic universe the loss of information, say into a black hole must be a permanent one.
However, in a strictly deterministic universe, information cannot be created, which would seem to
imply the impossibility of its destruction.

This need not be the case, however for a quantum, indeterministic universe informed by a
fundamental uncertainty principle and possessing nonlocality. The inequivalence of Shannon
and von Neumann entropy implies that a quantum state and its description interpenetrate and
entangle. The thing and its description are here not entirely independent. What does the no
hidden variable theorem say about the nature of Heisenberg uncertainty?

Shift in the zero-point of a thermal vacuum fluctuation field predicted by induced gravity theories

We expect accelerated expansion because the time rate of change of all physical processes
including the time rate of change of vacuum energy density is determined by the vacuum energy
density itself, i.e., accelerated cosmological expansion.

Critical complexity theory of emergence of consciousness. The system is constituted by a
matrix of boundary conditions, classically physically defined, which grows in complexity beyond
what can be supported in the form of a single quantum state. This may indeed not be the same
situation as is found in the case of ordinary environmental decoherence. Here instead of the
system undergoing quantum decoherence the system undergoes a transformation of an entirely
different nature. An error correction system distinguishing noise from signal must come into
play, which maintains quantum coherence though now with a new vacuum state spacelike
separated from the initial quantum vacuum. Decoupling of the systems interaction with the
non-environment can contribute to the system then finally undergoing environmental
decoherence. This is akin to an idea of consciousness role as a kind of dynamical
prophylactic against environmental decoherence that continually threatens to disrupt the brains
survival-essential quantum computational processes. The idea here is that decoherence involves
two processes, progressive coupling of the system to an incoherent vacuum (or ground) state, but
also progressive decoupling from a coherent vacuum state in which the system was earlier
embedded with which the system had heretofore been in constant interaction.

I cannot escape the suspicion that individual consciousness is better understood as
individual-consciousness was a mutual discovery of a symbiotic relationship by two
fundamental types of beings, one occupying the nonlocally-connected quantum vacuum and
seeking to embed itself in something akin to local spacetime, the other an existential creature
and the product of evolutionary processes within the local causal realm of classical spacetime
seeking a gimmick that shall assure its physical survival.

Zeitschleifen are always possible wherever a quantum system is sufficiently shielded from
environmental decoherence.

The multiplicity of the godhead is transcendent and can only be experienced through limitation,
i.e., spatiotemporality.

Thought is induced limitation and like the potters hands on the clay he works an exhaustive
description of the clay, its internal dynamics and structure, does not explain how the clay changes
form. It is an open system. The same is true of consciousness in which we shall never find the
basis for the dynamics of what is called thinking, which always perturbs pure consciousness from
outside.

How is it that EPR quantum measurement experiments fail to violate the relativity ban on faster
than light communication when a quantum state can be transmitted by sending fewer classical bits
than needed if there were no entanglement? See squeezed states, von Neumann entropy,
Heisenberg uncertainty principle, etc.

If one type of quantum entanglement, e.g., between virtual Cooper pairs is degraded in a
noninertial frame, then by the principle of conservation of entanglement, some other kind of
entanglement that with respect to some conjugate observable/quantum number, say between
virtual photons, must actually increase. Entanglement of spin-0 virtual Cooper pairs decreases
while entanglement of spin-1 virtual photons compensatingly increases, c.f., entanglement of spin
bath spins enhancing quantum entanglement (of a certain kind), decoherence suppressed by
vacuum entanglement, etc.

The paradox concerning the further playing out of the Copernican Revolution by which
humankind is further pushed to the periphery of his own universe is that it makes those of the
generation witnessing a step in this revolution feel privileged to be at the center of epic change.
Still more, there is of course the overweening narcissism usually unbeknownst to its possessors
that the end to which the Copernican Revolution is ultimately driving shall succeed in merely
reestablishing if not Mans centrality then the centrality of consciousness. In other words the
Copernican revolution shall end in devouring itself. Man in antiquity nobly commences his
project of exploring and investigating his world and Mans crowning reward for his stunning
success has been the new knowledge that he is an accident of history which is utterly insignificant
in the cosmic scheme and quite beneath the Universes notice.

The Schrodinger Cat Paradox is handily enough solved by a computational model of quantum
measurement such as that proposed by R. Srikanth in A Computational Model for Quantum
Measurement, arXiv: quant/ph/0302160v3. But perhaps the vacuum would not have its
computational capacity overwhelmed so quickly provided we could adequately isolate this
vacuum from all other quantum vacua. The isolated vacuum can then operate at an almost
infinitely more efficient level of information processing (or is this really only data processing,
c.f., thermodynamically closed systems vs. contextualized systems).

But in such a case we might well have switched problems from that of live/conscious cat vs.
dead/unconscious cat to that of biologically functioning cat vs. biologically inert cat.

The logic behind the cosmological anthropic principle is similar to that by which one ascribes
significance to the timing and concurrence of unrelated appearances that can only be connected in
the mind of an observer possessing some idiosyncratic store of experiences.
Angular momentum vector specifies an absolute direction in spacetime ad each angular
momentum direction in spacetime and each angular momentum measurement in a series of such
measurements is not independent of the measurement preceding it. Not so fo rspin as the
probability of a +/- spin measurement along an arbitrarily chosen direction is always 0.5 or 50%
(1/2). So quantum spin, while in its +/- 1/2h superposition state specifies no direction in space.
However, once decoherence of the +/- h superposition occurs a definite direction in space
(spacetime) has, just as in the case of angular momentum been selected. This might suggest that
spin decoherence has an important connection to underpinning local (as opposed to nonlocal, i.e.,
superposed/coherent) spacetime geometry/metric. <nonlocal metrics>

Should we think of spin decoherence as an example of spontaneous symmetry breaking, to wit,
spontaneous spacetime symmetry breaking?

The presence of the observer (and his consciousness) in effect specifies a direction of time, i.e.,

If Bob already made his spin measurement, then the Heisenberg uncertainty of Alices spin
measurement is only practical/epistemological and not wholly ontological. Implications of
undefined simultaneity and EPR for QM and Heisenberg uncertainty.

But if that doesnt mean simultaneous in all Lorentz frames, just the arbitrary one (chosen by the
observer), then whats the implications for the QM measurement problem (vis a vis
consciousness)?

When Alice measures her spin, the information she gets is localized at her position, and will
remain so until she decides to broadcast it. Absolutely nothing happens at Bobs location.
From Bobs point of view, all spin directions are equally probable, as can be verified
experimentally by repeating the experiment many times with a large number of singlets without
taking in consideration Alices results. Thus, after each one of her measurements, Alice assigns
a definite pure state to Bobs particle; while from Bobs point of view the state is completely
random ( is proportional to the unit matrix). It is only if and when Alice informs Bob of the
result she got (by mail, telephone, radio, or by means of any other material carrier, c.f., Quantum
Information and General Relativity/arXiv: quant-ph/0405127v1. Could this cause the collapse
of the spin superposition for Bob, for everybody in Bobs lab? Or if the message from Alice is
just stored in Bobs laboratory, will the spin superposition collapse (transmission of physical
(memic) information)?

Are Lorentz frames merely abstract entities. If so, then how could there be a difference between
spacelike and timelike connected Lorentz frames?

medium, c.f., Transition to superfluidity in strongly coupled fermion systems: low density limit

If decoherence processes underlie temporal change, then this would imply that the Universe is an
open system, i.e., embedded in an infinite quantum system. How then could the trace of an
infinite collection of observables (for the embedding part of the total system which includes the
Universe) produce a finite overall decoherence rate (relative to what?)

Black hole entropy caused by quantum vacuum providing dynamic heat bath for all matter and
fields, including black holes themselves, of course. The vacuum acts to progressively entangle
matter and fields with which this vacuum continually interacts via exchange of 3-momentum and
energy. Investigate black hole Hawking radiation as being fundamentally a manifestation of an
ongoing decoherence process. It may be that there is some maximal decoherence rate which
relates to some hidden physical constant such that the same decoherence rates underlie Hawking
radiation of black holes regardless of hole mass, but more generally the heretofore unrecognized
Hawking radiation embodied in the 2.7 K cosmological black body radiation and accelerating
cosmological acceleration, Hc.

Understanding Quantum Physics, an example of physical analogue physics, an example of
physical-analogue-free description of spacetime-momentum-energy dynamics. The vast
proliferation of physical analogue underpinnings of general relativity (or at least of some
significant features thereof) seems to suggest that there must be come physical analogue-free or
universal (most general/abstract) physical model awaiting discovery.
September 2011
Of course,
your average hard-core relativist would add that this is undoubtedly true, but that such a theory has
already long ago been discovered and articulated by Einstein, and all the myriad analogue models
of relativity produced in the decades since its discovery constitute nothing more than witting or
unwitting homages to Einsteins genius. Probability conservation, entanglement conservation,
and quantum vacuum statistics (virtual particle/field fluctuation correlation/dissipation) suggest
themselves as perhaps sufficiently general/abstract physical bases for general relativity.
@$
The validity of the Einstein equivalence principle seems to demand that the metaphysics of
general relativity be physical analogue free. Or at least that there be an underlying unity to all
possible physical analogues. We might state as a corollary to the equivalence principle that no
physical analogue model of general relativity can capture in one description all particular cases of
general relativistic phenomena, i.e., pass all possible empirical tests, c.f., au=Barcel, Visser,
Liberati, cit=arXiv:gr-qc/0106002v1, Einstein Gravity as an Emergent Phenomenon?

September 2011
That this unity might be still more generally captured through application of Bohms
causality principle to quantum fluctuations qua information signals (i.e., causal connections =
correlations of quantum fluctuations) than by the broad Kantian metaphor of substantive
relativistic physical processes of classical relativity (represented by so-called spacetime
curvature), is a theoretical approach that has only in recent years received serious attention. It
will prove ironic should in the future Newtons positivistic stance with respect to any possible
physical mechanism underlying gravity, i.e., hypothesis non fingo be subverted by the discovery
of a physical mechanism for gravity based on the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum
mechanics itself the preeminent exemplar of positivistic science. Such a theory if it is every
produced will in some important sense escape the charge of being merely yet another analogue
theory because it will solidly base all phenomena of gravity and inertia in the behavior of what
might be termed ideal observables, i.e., information. Here spacetime just like any other
structure is a projection or interpretation of information, that is, it is only part of what information
is about. In this way an information-based theory of gravity does not qualify as an analogue
theory of gravity. Quantum information theory suggests that the value of classical correlations
is that they provide the key to deciphering nonlocal quantum encrypted information, which is to
say, information encoded in nonlocally connected quantum fluctuations. One outcome of this is
that quantum information is not limited to a propagation speed of c, but can propagate
instantaneously. And so long as this quantum information is not intersubjectively available, the
principle of chronology protection is satisfied.

Because quantum entanglement is conserved, we may not need to know the specifics of a
decoherence mechanism in order to understand the quantum statistical basis of gravitational time
dilation.

If it is possible that the equivalence principle is a special case of a broader metaphysical principle
of the transcendental nature of gravitation, i.e., no analogue model can in principle capture all
relativistic phenomena in a single mechanical description.

Bose condensation is closely associated with quantum entanglement, e.g., of 3-momentum.
Increased /\p controlled by decreased /\E (photonic crystal model). Also, spontaneous emission
should be suppressed proportional to reduction of /\E. Suppressed decoherence rates are
associated with increased coherence (3-mometum fluctuations and Bose condensation) and
decreased resonance (increased Pauli blocking). Quantum coherence and resonance are
conditioned by quantum statistics of vacuum fluctuations, specifically Bose-Einstein and
Fermi-Dirac statistics of virtual particles/fields, respectively.

Concerning the Schrodinger Cat Paradox, dead is not a state of Schrodingers Cat in quite the
same way that alive constitutes a state of the cat.

In the EPR in curved spacetime thought experiment, each component of the decayed spin-0
particle is a spin-1/2 particle in its own right, described by its corresponding density matrix, which
recombined constitute a pure quantum state, i.e., that of the original spin-0 particle. As the
spin-1/2 particles separate within a curved spacetime, their respective density matrices undergo a
peculiar temporal evolution. The two component particles only remain nonlocally connected to
the extent that they remain embedded in the identical underlying vacuum (ground) state.
Reflecting the particles back toward one another, say with a magnetic field, so that they might
recombine does not result in a recreation of the original spin-0 state. (This may indeed be
because the decay is an irreversible process to begin with) In other words, gravity causes
irreversible changes in the systems wavefunction. We postulate here (without proof) the
hypothesis that all gravitating bodies give off a kind of a vacuum radiation that will be found to
be equivalent to generalized Hawking radiation.

The entanglement of virtual photons within a curved spacetime is what gives the vacuum mass and
spacetime its curvature. Since the quantum correlations underlying the structure of spacetime
are nonlocally connected, one expects the speed of gravity to be greater where spacetime
curvature is greater. This might explain cosmological acceleration. The Black Hole
Information Paradox can only be solved if gravitational decoherence is effected by means of some
form of vacuum resonance. The AIs didnt use the subjunctive tense because they didnt see it
as ever more applicable than the indicative tense. The same thing might have been true of those
living during the ages prior to the breakdown of the bicameral mind, c.f., Jaynes.

Entanglement conservation vis a vis black hole information paradox. Relativistic Doppler effect
is always broken out of the total Doppler effect when we speak of virtual photons. In this
relativistic component, virtual photons will become/appear more quantum entangled, c.f., internal
entanglement of spin bath spins and decoherence suppression. Decoherence suppression should
be taken as the index of relativistic time dilation. Temporal paradox is reminiscent of Russells
paradox upon which Goedels Incompleteness Theorem is founded.

Mechanism of quantum chronology protection. QM from GR temporal evolution of

Entropy of magnetization equals the information encoded in polarization, can the timelike
dimension be encoded in spin orientations internal to virtual Cooper pairs? And the spacelike

Information loss in a black hole horizon is just a special case of the gravitational decoherence
discussed earlier. Entanglement modifies probabilities but not in a way that can be used to
transmit information.

Shannon entropy is not defined for an open system, but perhaps von Neumann entropy can be so
defined, e.g., because qubits are nonlocally stored (in a nonlocal quantum vacuum?).

It is known that, in certain circumstances, heat baths belonging to a specific class can enhance
entanglement rather than destroying it: two, mutually non-interacting systems immersed in one of
these baths can then become quantum correlated; this can happen both at finite time and in the
asymptotic regime. It is remarkable that the thermal bath seen by uniformly accelerating
systems precisely belongs to the mentioned class, c.f., Entanglement Generation in the Unruh
Effect (quant-ph/0403157v1)

The price to pay is the lack of manifest covariance and thus of a simple way of translating a
physical description obtained in one reference frame to that derived in a different one.

When the system that is subjected to the uniform acceleration along the trajectory (2.1) is formed
by two, non-interacting two-level atoms, one thus expects similar mixing-enhancing phenomena
to occur, leading in particular to loss of the mutual quantum correlation (entanglement) that might
have been present at the beginning. However, even though not directly coupled, the external
vacuum field through which the two atoms move may provide an indirect interaction between
them, and thus a means to entangle them. Indeed, entanglement generation through the action of
an external heat bath has been shown to occur in certain circumstances; it is therefore of physical
interest to investigate the same issue in the case of accelerating atoms.

The property of quantum spin is dictated by space quantization and by spacetime symmetry, c.f.,
p. 1063 of TGBWellPhysics, Vol.s 1, 2, 3. Time is not an observable and therefore cannot be
quantized as space is quantized (basis for the irreversibility of virtual processes underpinning
spacetime) on account of relativitys requirement of spin quantum numbers. But relativity also
demands that spin as a special variety of angular momentum, must be expressed in the form of a
spacetime invariant 4-vector. The time parameter can be indirectly quantized through the
quantization of the energy of the quantum vacuum.

Failure of conservation of energy implies, of course broken time translation symmetry, i.e.,

constitutional unity of said consciousness, but an overlying unity, i.e., a unity from above, as it
were, which is to say, a capacity for abstract thought that transcends utterly the
individual-consciousness-innate capacities for abstract thought. There is a qualitative difference
between individual and transcendental consciousness that is not appropriately captured within the,
e.g. Buddhist conception of consciousness as such. Individual consciousnesses are not mere
applications of consciousness as such within the context of limitation, i.e., spatiotemporality.

While Lorentz transformations cannot change the overall quantum entanglement of a bipartite
state [3,4], they can change which properties of the local systems are entangled. In so far as
teleportation fidelity is an operational measure of quantum entanglement, our results suggest that
quantum entanglement may not be preserved in non-inertial frames. Information about the
state measured by the stationary observer is quantum teleported to the non-inertial observer,
providing him with information about how to adjust the orientation of his Stern-Gerlach device so
as recover the information describing the stationary observers state measurement. What is
interesting here is the connection that surely exists between the mechanism underlying loss of
teleported information (about proper adjustment of SG device orientation) and the mechanism of
spacelike separation of the Minkowski and Rindler vacua of the stationary and non-inertial
observers, respectively, namely the incommensurateness of the spacetime geometry of these two
vacua. There is no possible set of error correction bits (or qubits for that matter) that could be
incorporated into the wavepacket (packet of quantum information) that could be transmitted by the
Minkowski to the Rindler observer that would permit this Rindler observer to properly adjust his
Stern-Gerlach device so as to recapture 100% of the information concerning the state measured by
the Minkowski observer. It is true in general that quantum information is context-sensitive with
the context sensitivity supplied by the vacuum state supporting local quantum states. The
incommensurate nature of transmitter and receiver vacua vis a vis parallel transport of
wavepackets implies the disconnection of the quantum observer in his receiver role from
contextual information contained only in the Minkowski vacuum of the transmitter quantum
observer. The fact that no compensating error correction is possible here stems from the fact
that information in the Minkowski vacuum refers to a quantum state, which fundamentally does
not exist within Rindler vacua. Information is lost during transmission of the wavepacket
between the two distinct vacua because of a failure of referral. Spacelike separation is based in
other words in existence of disjoint quantum vacua, It is well appreciated now [8,9,10,11, 12,13]

Acceleration creates a Rindler horizon possessing entropy akin to black hole entropy and which
explains lost von Neumann entropy of an entangled pair of particles associated with two observers,
one stationary and the other having undergone an acceleration. The acceleration creates Fock
states in two causally disconnected or spacelike-separated regions, which constitute a two-mode
squeezed state. The Davies-Unruh radiation is thought to be responsible for a haze in which
entanglement information is lost. While the degree of decoherence is exceedingly small for
practical accelerations, the apparent connection between spacetime geometry and quantum
entanglement is intriguing. c.f., Teleportation with a uniformly accelerated partner

Can gravity be characterized by increased (timelike) composite spin-0 decoherence and
suppression (spacelike) spin-1 decoherence? (This might present an avenue for resolving both
the redshift and black hole information paradoxes.)

Hypothesis: a photon becomes progressively more entangled with the vacuum electromagnetic
field as it falls into a gravitational potential, while a composite spin-0 particle tends to decohere
into a less quantum correlated Cooper pair. If the mutual exchange of virtual photons is what
mediates the quantum correlation of the spin-1/2 members of the pair, then these exchange bosons
becoming more entangled with the vacuum electromagnetic field (virtual) photons might explain
the increasing decoherence of the pair.

Decoherence rates may be the time measure of irreversible temporal change so time dilation may
be the effect of reduced decoherence rates (relative to free space) rather than the other way round.
Decoherence and Psi-collapse (just a special case of very rapid decoherence) may be the real
physical origin of irreversibility and of entropy production.

<quantum correlations and Heisenberg uncertainty>

Karma has two components: one reactive (normally understood as moral equivalent of laws of
causality in classical physical sense) and a proactive component, which may be akin to mechanism
of Psi collapse. Question: in the moral sphere, what is the equivalent to quantum superposition?
Bi-directional degeneracy explains infinite symmetry and infinite complexity being mutually
consistent. The importance of initial conditions to physical dynamical laws cannot be
underestimated.

Suppression of decoherence may be due to entanglement of spin bath spins implies increased
decoherence of Cooper pairs in gravitational potential. (But if entanglement with 3-momentum
degrees of freedom is taken into account, might there be suppression of decoherence of total
spin-3-momentum wavefunction?

If gravity decoheres composite spin-0 (Cooper pairs) but suppresses irreversible temporal
processes, then imaginary momentum decoherence must be an essential part of the underlying
mechanism of gravitation and hence of time dilation.

Virtual boson (3-momentum) entanglement may now explain both the gravitational redshift and
suppression of irreversible temporal processes. Of course, when a real photon enters a vacuum
of greater virtual photon entanglement, by the Bose condensation (Pauli Inclusion) Principle, the
real photon becomes more entangled with this modified vacuum state.

Neither kinematics nor chaos underlies the dynamics implementing quantum probabilities. The
implementing of the probabilistic quantum laws is in other words constituted neither by chance nor
necessity. Meaning within the context of consciousness provides the arena for the expression of
the quantum synchronistic laws. If the Schrodinger equation and its boundary conditions can be
distinguished it would be in terms of the free will of the experimenters choosing the means of
preparing a quantum state for the purpose of performing a measurement.

Assume the vacuum has a finite density of quantum states that can be occupied by a given particle.
Consequently, when the density of bosonic states increases, e.g., in a gravitational potential, then
this greater density of states must become quantum nonlocally correlated. The opposite
statement might make sense for composite spin-0 bosons (Cooper pairs): the decreased density
of virtual spin-0 particles within a gravitational potential must have these particles less quantum
nonlocally correlated than would have been the case for free space. The idea here is that the
relative densities of spacelike and timelike quantum states doesnt actually shift in moving
between different gravitational potentials, just the relative proportions of spin-1 and spin-0
particles, respectively occupying these states. Can this mechanism be brought to bear on the
gravitational redshift paradox?

To exploit the EPR correlation on (and beyond) the event horizon, the observers must fall into the

Increased quantum entanglement of virtual bosons in a larger (relative to a smaller) gravitational
field is associated with increased electromagnetic and nuclear binding energy, i.e., mass.

future requires seeing more than what exists in the present, one mush see what is present only later.
A Wigner rotation may be thought of as the integral of Thomas precession.

In the second half of life as understood by C. G. Jung, one becomes less and less bound to the

Conservation of energy lies behind the gravitational redshift phenomenon that is mediated via

Because general anesthesia ensues and consciousness ceases once a vapor or gas has reached a

Email communication with Ziad A. Fahd at 8:27 pm on July 23, 2004: Its interesting that the
EPR effect of correlated spin-1/2 particles cannot be perfectly reproduced for observers moving at
an appreciable fraction of the speed of light relative to the spin-0 source particle (which decays and
breaks up into the two quantum correlated spin-1/2 particles). Moreover, there is in principle no
set of off-setting 3-rotations of spin measuring devices that observers at either end can perform,
which shall compensate for this degradation of the EPR effect (weakening of the observed bell
inequality) due to observers and original source particle occupying distinct Lorentz inertial frames.
This is quite simply because a Lorentz boost is always the product of a 3-rotation and a real boost
(acceleration). This implies that spin possesses a 4-dimensional (3 + 1) component, i.e., both
spacelike and timelike components. Quantum nonlocality seems to demand Special Relativity
for this (as well as other) reasons.

Now the full violation of the Bell Inequality (and reestablishment of the full EPR effect) can be
brought about by an appropriate combination of a 3-rotation and a Lorentz boost. Here is the
rub however, if the observers are occupying metrics of distinctly different spacetime curvature,
then there is no combination of 3-rotations and Lorentz boosts that either observer can perform on
his or her e.g., Stern-Gerlach device that shall compensate for the degradation of the nonlocal
correlation of the spin-1/2 particles.

Emergence of individual consciousness as dampening modes militating against runaway

Immortality as the only means of preserving experiential information (which does not possess an

transcendent rationality of individual experience.

Energy eigenstate can only exist in an isolated system, i.e., where /\E = 0. This suggests a lesson

correlation of the 3-momentum fluctuations with one another. Though this increase the
coherence of the quantum vacuum it also strengthens the spontaneous environmental
decoherence on account of a systems interaction with a more coherent vacuum. The greater
coherence of the quantum vacuum in a strong gravitational field may be looked at in two ways: 1)
smaller number of energy fluctuations mediate a larger number of 3-momentum fluctuations and
2) energy fluctuations of this vacuum are mutually coupled by a higher density of mutual
3-momentum exchanges.


Vacuum in quantum liquids and in general relativity, G.E. Volovik

Quantum liquids, in which an effective Lorentzian metric and thus
some kind of gravity gradually arise in the low-energy corner, are the
objects where the problems related to the quantum vacuum can be
investigated in detail. In particular, they provide the possible solution
of the cosmological constant problem: why the vacuum energy
is by 120 orders of magnitude smaller than the estimation from the
relativistic quantum field theory. The almost complete cancellation of
the cosmological constant does not require any fine tuning and comes
from the fundamental \trans-Planckian" physics of quantum liquids.
The remaining vacuum energy is generated by the perturbation of
quantum vacuum caused by matter (quasiparticles), curvature, and
other possible sources, such as smooth component { the quintessence.
This provides the possible solution of another cosmological constant
problem: why the present cosmological constant is on the order of
the present matter density of the Universe. We discuss here some
properties of the quantum vacuum in quantum liquids: the vacuum
energy under different conditions; excitations above the vacuum state
and the effective acoustic metric for them provided by the motion of
the vacuum; Casimir effect, etc.



The density matrix loses its off-diagonal components (that represent entanglement/correlation of
eigenfunctions) as the quantum system decoheres. But if decoherence is due to interaction of the
system with an outside environment, then shouldnt this mean that some new density matrix is
being built up, i.e., one in terms of a new set of basis eigenfunctions in which off-diagonal terms
exist. In other words, when decoherence occurs, there is indeed loss of off-diagonal terms (in
terms of the old set of basis eigenfunctions) but creation of new off-diagonal terms in the density
matrix describing the combined original system + outside. Of course, if this outside with
which the original system interacts is itself an open system, then there is no possibility of a density
matrix description of the combined system (still less is there a pure state or wavefunction
description of the combined system, which is perhaps nothing less than the entire universe).

Nonlocal correlation of spin +/-1/2 pairs translates to appearance of off-diagonal terms in the
density matrix describing the pairs quantum state.

is the fact of quantum fields being fundamental entities and particles being merely derivative
from the quantum fields. The approximation of fundamental quantum fields by particles
breaks down in strong gravitational fields. After all, what are termed real particles are only
on-shell quantum field fluctuations, in other words what is called real matter is just a special case
of a much more general phenomenon, correlated quantum fluctuations.

Can quantum theory be successfully applied to so called abstract, unphysical observables?
Realizing that all observables are abstract suggests that there may be no basis for excluding
quantum behavior from unphysical observables, e.g., synchronistic observables. Does this or a
related insight explain why Jung sought to collaborate with founding quantum theorists in his
attempt to develop a physical underpinning for his theory of synchronicity? Synchronicity must
surely be intimately related to quantum mechanics, provided that quantum chronology protection
cannot be embraced within a formalism a la Goedels Incompleteness Theorem. Strangely
ironic it is that the advent of individual consciousnesses, e.g., of free and creative human beings
necessitates consciousness as such in it role as mechanism of quantum chronology protection,
that is, of QCPs enforcement of implementation, c.f., Dalis Maelstrom.

two thought experiments to make a comparison between predictions of the standard and the
Bohmian quantum mechanics. Concerning this, a two-particle system has been studied at two
various situations of the entangled and the unentangled states. In the first experiment, the two
theories can predict different results at the individual level, while their statistical results are the
same. In the other experiment, not only are the two theories in disagreement at the individual
level, but their equivalence at the statistical level also breaks down, if one uses selective detection.
Furthermore, we discuss some objections that can be raised against the results of the two suggested
experiments.

Intuition requires self-referentiality, which frees the system from the limitations of algorithmic
formalism. Self-referentiality is paradoxical in that self implies closedness of the system
while necessarily possessing the freedom of an open system. This raises the question of what is
meant by self-referential open systems and unified open systems.

It seems the infrastructure of the ground of being ultimately underlying the expression of the
human genome as creative, free and conscious individuals is uniform throughout space and time.
But is this really so? And if not, could we even know the difference? Not if these differences
are necessarily masked by those differences in the ground of being which constitute the
distinctness of subjectivities, c.f., the quantum solipsistic cosmological principle. These are
necessarily subquantal (in the sense of pre-observational or pre-empirical) processes. No
amount of squeezing of Heisenberg uncertainty shall reveal these subquantal variables. The
parameters which constitute the distinctness of individual, subjective consciousnesses can never
become the subject of scientific study or empirical observation as these parameters are not
variables that can be multiply instantiated. The emergence in the world of a new individual
consciousness is never an example of the instantiation of some abstract pattern or design.

A global transformation would affect the information carriers that traverse the system
carrying information about local transformations in such a manner that the effects of the global

The equivalence principle is based on the notion of locality, since it requires that the region of
space, inside which two trajectories of two nearby freely-falling objects of different masses,
compositions, or thermodynamic states, are to be compared, go to zero volume, before the
principle becomes exact. However, quantum mechanically, there will be the phenomenon of
tunneling, in which the two masses can penetrate into the classically forbidden region above their
turning points. . . . there exists no correspondence-principle limit in which classical
trajectories or geodesics for the relative motion of electrons which are members of Cooper pairs in
Bohm singlet states within the superconductor, make any sense.

Spacetime curvature
directly affects the phase of the wavefunction, leading to large shifts of quantum-mechanical
interference patterns within atomic interferometers. the following Berry phase picture of spin
coupled to curved spacetime leads to an intuitive way of understanding why there could exist a

charge and spin, such as the quantum Hall fluid.

Due to its gyroscopic nature, the spin vector of an electron undergoes parallel transport during the
passage of a gravitational wave. The spin of the electron is constrained to lie inside the
space-like submanifold of curved spacetime. This is due to the fact that we can always transform
to a co-moving frame, such that the electron is at rest at the origin of this frame. In this frame,
the spin of the electron must be purely a spacelike vector with no time-like component. This
imposes an important constraint on the motion of the electrons spin, such that whenever the
spacelike submanifold of spacetime is disturbed by the passage of a gravitational wave, the spin
must remain at all times perpendicular to the local time axis. If the spin vector is constrained to
follow a conical trajectory during the passage of the gravitational wave, the electron picks up a
Berry phase proportional to the solid angle subtended by this conical trajectory after one period of
the GR wave.

Composite spin-0 is perpendicular to the spin-1 which is perpendicular to the time axis.

A particle is an excited state of the vacuum from which the particle was created. And so upon
entering a distinct vacuum state, the particle must enter a superposition state, which then must
eventually undergo decoherence with characteristic decay time (must not all particles decohere

Any Lorentz transformation may be written as a combination of a pure rotation followed by a
boost. This explains conservation of entanglement through reciprocal exchange of entanglement
between 3-momentum and spin degrees of freedom.

Theorem: The entanglement between the spin and momentum parts of a pure state wave function
must be non-zero to allow the spin entanglement to increase under Lorentz transformations.
(Comment: cant create entanglement from no entanglement.) Spin entanglement can only
decrease after a Lorentz transformation.

Quite generally, we can say that fully entangled spin states will (depending on the initial
momentum wavefunction) most likely decohere due to the mixing with momentum degrees of
freedom.

Lorentz frames which neighbor one another in an abstract sense are not neighboring under real
accelerations. The twin paradox of special relativity is solved (one way at least) by taking into
account this distinction between abstract and real spacetime neighborhoods, i.e., the different
topologies (connectivity).

The spin is defined relative to the local inertial frame, which is physically determined by the
spacetime distribution of matter, whereas the GCT is an artificial relabeling of spacetime points,
and therefore does not affect the local inertial frame, leaving the spin state invariant. The
transformation that changes the spin entropy is a local LT of the local inertial frame. Second,
while in special relativity spin entropy is altered by changing the inertial frame, in general
relativity spin entropy can change by a mere translation of the particle even though both the
general coordinate system and local inertial frame are fixed at each point. . . , c.f., Spin

this type cannot be found in other general relativistic that does not involve the spin degree of

Because of the existence of intelligent and resourceful and especially, freely willed persons being
in the world, quantum protection like chronology protection must possess a superhuman mind-like
order of the universe.

In other words quantum protection, which is just a generalization of the concept of Chronology
protection (see SF short story, Chronology Protection Case) requires that the universe always be
smarter than us its creatures. Sound familiar? So Providence is the source higher than which
the stream cannot rise, c.f., that being than which no greater can be conceived.

If there is any possible series of freely willed (causally indeterminate) choices that threatens to
give the observer knowledge forbidden by the uncertainty principle (this speaks to the dichotomy
in the interpretation of quantum measurement, i.e., Bohm vs. Copenhagen, i.e., Heisenberg
uncertainty being an ontological vs. an epistemological principle), then the Universe steps in to
defuse it.

Randomness vs. determinism vs. a third choice: vigilantly guarded information, subquantum or

And the resultant mutual
unintelligibility of subjective experience can only be bridged by some mechanism of
translation/interpretation that rationalizes by managing and/or ignoring the eccentricities and
peculiarities that do not pertain to the public space. Subjective individual consciousness is thus a
kind of irrational remainder or residue. The development of new languages provides us with
ever new means of repartitioning this residue. This is akin to redrawing logic in terms of a new
system of axioms, thus shifting the dividing line between decidable and undecidable theorems.

That the local value of the velocity o light may be lower than its value in vacuo (in a gravitational
field) may be interpreted as the otherwise massless graviton taking on a mass or, in an induced
gravity scenario a la Sakharov as the normally non-gravitating free space vacuum itself having
taken on mass and begun gravitating. This induced gravity approach may help explain why the
cosmological constant and average mass density of the cosmos are nearly equal, black holes dont
collapse beyond their event horizons much less into a singularity, and the soon to become notable
absence of detection of gravitational waves.

Just as chronology protection cannot be automated, neither can what might be termed quantum
protection. The thermodynamics which prevents time reversed reactions from being amplified
to the macroscopic level must also play a key role in protecting causality in for example quantum
delayed choice experiments. Reductions in uncertainty constitute information but at the cost of
creating greater uncertainty for conjugate observables. And this process of uncertainty reduction
should not be perfectly reversible, but must generate a certain quantity of entropy. What if all
manner of abstract probabilities not relevant to physical systems possess a decomposition in terms
of wavefunction like entities which in turn exhibit interference?

direction of the particle motion (left-handed particles) or opposite to the direction of motion
(right-handed). Suppose that this relationship between spin orientation and momentum vectors

How is a young person to make sense of the wise pronouncements of old age?

E = mc
2
can be proven either by directly assuming an imaginary timelike momentum or by using
the relativistic mass velocity relationship incorporated into p = mv.

If the signature of spacetime geometry was (+,+,+,+) (Euclidean 4-space), then timelike and
spacelike momentum would both be real and the sum of the squares of these components of
four-momentum (proportional to the total energy) for a given mass, m, could, when normalized,
still sum to greater than mc**2.

However, the signature of spacetime geometry is actually (+,+,+,-) such that the momentum of
masses through time always possesses an imaginary component regardless of the state of motion
of the mass within the 3-space of a given observer. The magnitude the objects four momentum
is conserved despite accelerations through the 3-space component of four dimensional spacetime.
This is because such accelerations are necessarily accompanied by decelerations along the timelike
component of Minkowski spacetime of sufficient magnitude that the total four-momentum of the
mass is conserved (manifesting itself in the phenomenon of time dilation) Therefore, by
accelerating a mass through 3-space, merely results in performing a spacetime rotation of the
mass 4-momentum vector (purely imaginary when the mass was at rest.) In this way, the total
4-momentum of the mass is conserved and the velocity four-vector of the mass always has a
magnitude of c within spacetime. This is why the sum of velocities of two mutually
approaching masses can never exceed the velocity of light.

Just perform the integration of momentum, mv, from velocity 0 + ic to final velocity c + i0,
yielding mc**2/2 evaluated from v = ic to v = c, yielding an energy of E = mc**2. It takes an
energy of mc**2 to rotate the 4-momentum of a mass at rest (within the 3-space of a given
observer) from a purely timelike imaginary direction to a purely spacelike, real direction, i.e.,
when a mass is converted to photons, which move through space, but not at all through time.

Of course, because a mass at rest secretly already possesses some momentum within 3-space
(even though it does not appear to be moving as a whole through 3-space when at rest), b virtue
of the myriad exchanges of vector bosons within the 3-space displaced by its bulk, mediating all of
the nongravitational binding forces within the mass this mass, in originally forming, has already
borrowed some of the initial timelike momentum of the particles of which it was originally
composed (these constituent particles can be thought of as having been brought together from
infinity).

Consequently the timelike velocity of any object possessing internal binding forces (any mass, that
is) must be more or less smaller than c, the velocity of light. The phenomenon of gravity and its
corresponding spacetime curvature is founded on the velocity of the mass through time being
reduced to below that of c in vacuo, in other words.

But this is getting into some hand-waving in the realm of quantum gravity, which I dont claim to
understand here be dragons!

vacuum with greater photon coherence possesses less coupling/interaction with the purely timelike
composite spin-0 energy fluctuations of the vacuum, i.e., /\E is suppressed in this vacuum and so al
electromagnetic natural lifetimes are enhanced. Equivalence principle suggests that all spin-1
and composite spin-0 fields are fully integrated leaving no room for a unique gravity mediating
exchange particle, i.e., graviton.

How can the Casimir effect interfere with the mechanism of environmental decoherence, if a

phenomena exhibited by large molecules such as the C

Distinct alternate universes dont exert direct gravitational influence on each other, but gravity is a
phenomenon that takes place within a given individual universe. Gravity is classical but subject
to quantum boundary conditions. Strangely this is the opposite case for quantum systems, i.e.,
quantum dynamics subject to classical boundary conditions.

Only the decohered component of the quantum vacuum may be counted as contributing to the
cosmological constant and therefore as having a gravitational effect, c.f., Sarfatti. When mater is
in a superposition state, e.g., c
70
molecule scattered by a diffraction grating does this matter
possess some tiny gravitational field, and if so, how could this field strength be calculated?
Perhaps as long as Penroses one graviton limit is not exceeded by the superposition state and
decoherence has not yet set in (connection between Machian gravitation and mechanism of
environmental decoherence?), then the c
70
molecule has no gravitational field associated with it.
Perhaps the counting statistics of superposed states are conditioned by the local vacuum statistics
(with no back-reaction upon those statistics until the environmental decoherence limit is reached).

There is a broader sense in which we can understand Bill Clintons pronouncement first

Vacuum takes on a mass within curved spacetime. Free space off-shell virtual particles became
on-shell (a tiny fraction at least). The spacetime curvature structure can be exactly reproduced
(in homologue) with the momentum-energy mass shell can be attributed to an altered value of the
velocity of light in vacuo, which is in turn determined by the relative current densities of virtual
bosons and virtual fermions. These in turn are sensitive or responsive to the Pauli blocking and
Bose anti-blocking effects of real matter upon the virtual particles of the quantum vacuum (as
reflected in the altered quantum statistics for fluctuations in the vacuums momentum and energy).

Jaekel (1998) says that, The principle of relativity of motion is directly related to the symmetries
of the vacuum.

The definition of mental illness in normative as opposed to statistical terms implies an

The curvature of the mass shell associated with spacetime curvature (and gravitation) is
necessitated by the fact of real particles always being real, that is to say, I all Lorentz (inertial)
frames, while off-mass shell particles, i.e., virtual particles, must become real (when certain
conditions are met) within a gravitational field in order to conserve momentum-energy and as
part of environmental decoherence of correlated fermion-antifermion virtual pairs within a
gravitational potential (field). Does this imply that the value of the gravitational potential cane
be defined in absolute terms? By proposing a theory in which gravity is explained by spacetime
variations in the vacuum quantum statistics, one is at the same time proposing that gravity is based
in spatiotemporal variation in quantum nonlocally corrected (instantaneous) correlations of
quantum (spontaneous?) fluctuations (speed of gravity) (Although it is clear that the complexion
of nonlocal quantum fluctuations must change in some appropriately systematic way relative to an
accelerated observer, which is not merely relative, by the way, because the observer possesses
mass, and his nonuniform movement back-reacts upon the quantum fluctuation background)

Distinct Lorentz frames are treated as equivalent by special relativity although they can only be
connected via a virtually infinite spectrum of accelerated motions. The acceleration of a mass
via freely willed movement of my hand is distinctly different from acceleration of masses by
deterministic (chaotic or not) and random (quantum), i.e., naturalistic processes.

It seems there are more paths through phase space connecting more distantly related Lorentz
frames. This says something interesting about how the topology of phase space differs from that
of ordinary (intuitive) 3-Euclidean space, e.g., the greater the 3-Euclidean distance between points
A and B, the greater is the opportunity for a particle to originate between A and B that is then
detected at B and counted (as having originated at A). If distinct Lorentz frames (or Minkowski
spacetimes) are truly equivalent, then perhaps each shares with the other an identiacal vacuum
state |0> such that the energy of the shared ground state must be equally shared by all equivalent
Lorentz frames. Does this help us solve the cosmological constant problem? In a globally
curved spacetime, there are no equivalent though distinct Lorentz or inertial frames.

The continuum of spacelike separated Lorentz frames cannot be connected by an acceleration
however small and sustained (except, perhaps for the case of so-called adiabatic accelerations, by
which immediately neighboring Lorentz frames might immediately neighboring Lorentz frames
might be connected) seems a contradiction here but implies a broken symmetry of spacetime.

Lorentz or inertial frames are globally defined (probably an idealization like eigenstate which is
a powerful analytical and theoretical tool, as far as it goes) while accelerated frame, only locally.
This distinction between inertial and non-inertial is undoubtedly connected to questions of
symmetry, mass-shell and quantum vacuum statistics, e.g., how does a photon or other particle
detector function differently in a gravitational field vs. in an unaccelerated frame.

Is there any fundamental difference in the nature of proof of existence vs. proof of nonexistence in

The Heisenberg uncertainty principle would be merely an epistemological principle had quantum
probabilities been properly defined in terms of ensembles, rather than in absolute terms, i.e., the
quantum mechanical wavefunction. The fact that quantum probabilities derive from the
behavior of the wavefunction itself rather than from the behavior of statistical ensembles of
particles/states may be intimately connected with the postulates of special relativity.

Because consciousness is a substance, continuity determines identity, not structure, unless this

The mass of a stable distribution of matter represents the binding energy of the quantum vacuum
contained within the instantaneous volume of that mass. The mass of the quantum vacuum,
whose energy is normally negative, is represented by the small fraction of this immense negative
energy that has become bound through the gravitational binding energy that has disseminated
throughout the volume of vacuum energy under consideration. Over time with the expansion of
the universe the gravitational binding energy of coalesced matter disseminates throughout this
expanding vacuum medium. We expect the expansion to be uniform in the case where the rate
of dissemination of gravitational binding energy and dissemination of unbound vacuum energy (as
a direct result of cosmological expansion) are equal. Is there a dynamics we can point to here
underlying the accelerated cosmological expansion? Since we have been saying that the
presence of a gravitational field is characterized by a local relative imbalance between the
densities of scalar and vector vacuum energy fluctuations, the accelerated cosmological expansion
may be attributable to a shifting global imbalance in the distribution of these collective spin-0 and
spin-1 vacuum fluctuations,
@$
which amounts to a temporal evolution in the density of collective
spin-2 vacuum fluctuations.

It might not be misleading to say that in an increasing gravitational potential the inertia of energy
increases. In other words a given quantity of energy represents a greater mass in a gravitational
potential than this energy does in free space - on account of the relative decrease in the local
velocity of light in Einsteins relation, E = mc
2
. If it turns out that the quantum vacuum only
takes on a measurable mass when the boundary conditions upon the vacuum are altered so as to
produce a gravitational field, then the cosmological constant problem would effectively be solved.

Vacuum becoming massive in gravitational potential integrated with the cosmological effects of
an expanding inertial frame. The vacuum is not massive in free space, but becomes massive as a

undressed electron mass.

occur only after having already spread over a spatiotemporal scale beyond that of the naturalistic

processes of psychic integration within what had been for perhaps a million years or more the
standard 500 ms time bubble (specious present) of the individual hominid consciousness.
The human brain in the zero gee of deep space for many months or years would also respond by
creating subtley different rules and patterns of connectivity of its myriad synaptic networks. In
essence, the reducing valve of the mind would begin to fail in its vital function of screening out all
those extraneous vacuum information signals irrelevant to the adaptation of the evolving hominid
brain in rising up to the challenges of a merely earthly existence, such as efficient and proactive
sense perception and speedy mobilization against immediate threats to its existence. Long term
exposure to the zero gee of space was something never before anticipated by Darwinian natural
selection or even the process of biological evolution itself and so constitutes a challenge to the
human mind that it is not in the least degree prepared to handle. For this reason, without a

Tensions between quantum mechanics and general relativity: Are there experimental
consequences?)

Loss of anti-correlation within virtual Cooper pairs means that the probability of collective spin-0
( = unity for timelike virtual pair) produces imperfectly anti-correlated pairs with spin
+/-

pointing in spacelike directions in a pure quantum state (maximally entangled) state retained if
momentum degrees of freedom are taken into the density matrix description of the system. (See
Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen correlation seen from moving observers, c.f.,

arXiv:quant-ph/0204138v4)


We find that the perfect anti-correlation in the same direction between the EPR pair no longer
holds in the observers frame. This does not imply a breakdown of the non-local correlation.
We explicitly show that the observers must measure the spin in appropriately chosen different
directions in order to observer the perfect anti-correlation. See abstract of
Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen correlation seen from moving observers (

arXiv:quant-ph/0204138v4

non-uniform motion observers.

Heisenbergs energy-time uncertainty principle was also demonstrated during the course of this
experiment [13]. The width /\t
2
of the collapsed signal photon wavepacket, which was measured
by means of the Michelson, satisfied the inequality

/\E
2
/\t
2
>/= h
bar
/2,

where the energy width /\E
2
of the collapsed signal photon wavepacket, was determined by the
measured energy width /\E
1
of the idler photon, in order to conserve total energy. Hence, the
energy width /\E
2
of the signal photon, which enters into the Heisenberg uncertainty relation (4),
was actually the width /\E
1
of the remote filter F1, through which this signal photon did not pass.
See p. 10 of Heisenbergs Introduction of the Collapse of the Wavepacket into Quantum
Mechanics (
cit=
arXiv:quant-ph/0201036v2 23 Jan 2002). In the above paper a photon detection
experiment is described in which conservation of energy uncertainty is crucial to maintaining the
energy-entanglement of pairs of photons created via the parametric down-conversion of ultraviolet
photons within a potassium dihydride phosphate (KDP) crystal. Applying relativity to
conservation of /\E implies that /\E and /\p
i
must together compose a conserved momentum-energy
4-vector.

Should we think of perfectly correlated virtual electron-antielectron pairs as representing
0-probability of a photon, while a perfectly anti-correlated pair represent a probability of unity that
a photon is present?

Do anti-correlated virtual e+e- pairs then represent thermalized energy of 1.022 MeV?
Depending on preexistent binding of virtual fermions of the pair may we get a virtual photon of
anywhere from 0 to 1.022 MeV? (But no more than 1.022 MeV in virtual photon energy because
of the Lorentz invariance of vacuum fluctuations)

At what velocity must an observer more opposite the direction of motion of the photon for the
classical and relativistic photon for the classical and relativistic Doppler shifts in the photons
frequency to cancel? Can this be relevant our understanding of cosmological expansion?

Attempting to collect information about the position of a tunneling particle within the barrier
reduces the Heisenberg energy uncertainty which, added to the particles kinetic energy during
tunneling, provides the particle with enough energy to transit the potential barrier. In this case
the act of attempted position measurement serves to at once increase the particles 3-momentum
uncertainty and decrease the particles energy. The act of position measurement in the direction
of a tunneling particles momentum appears to decelerate the particle in step with the increase in
the time uncertainty of the position measurement of the particle. Does this lend support to the
idea that /\p and /\E are spacelike and timelike components of a four vector momentum-energy
uncertainty?

The current densities of fermions and bosons are directly tied to the instantaneous densities and
inertial reference frames (in which the particle densities are indeed instantaneous) and hence tied
to the particle wavefunctions, which are either symmetric or antisymmetric. The current density
can be adjusted either by changing the number of particles or by changing the geometry of the
spacetime in which the current densities are defined.

Why will advances in technology over the next 200 years lead to capitalism being replaced by
anarcho-syndicalism? If the world economic activity were analyzed in terms of domains of
distinct levels of socioeconomic affluence, then the world economy takes on somewhat the
appearance of a network of differentially efficient Carnot engines. Akin to Fischers electrical
circuit analogy for economic systems, there is a physics analogy that may be used to describe
another system from the domain of the social sciences, i.e., a thermodynamic systems analogy for
describing the distribution and flow of moral goodness. One must use two additional theories in
order to facilitate the application of this thermodynamic systems analogy, Mills calculus of
utilitarian value and Maslows theory of human moral development. Particularly interesting is
how the concept of waste heat (entropy) can be applied to systems of interacting moral systems
(moral agents and their groupings). Exploitation of the poor and the disenfranchised both
domestically and externally by those holding the reigns of socioeconomic power creates an
environment of general economic well being that fosters the emergence of an intellectual and
artistic class with the moral stature and authority to call into serious question the policies and
decisions of the cynical, disingenuous, bloated, reactionary plutocrats.

Universities, foundations, institutes, non-governmental organizations, etc. fill out the list of those
socioeconomic entities that can only emerge from moral systems occupying a plateau of elevated
chemical potential.

Man has resisted advances of the Copernican revolution at every step until the facts demanding

Extra-terrestrial civilizations frustrated by
the roadblock to interstellar communication and travel posed by the finite value of the speed of
light might well strike the bargain of sacrificing a large portion of the immense future that still lies
ahead of them in order to overcome this limitation. This could be simply accomplished,
theoretically speaking, of course, by each ET civilization placing its entire home planet or star
system into a deep gravitational well so that the effective distances between prospective
neighboring alien civilizations effectively contracts, permitting near real time interstellar
communication, that is, within the lifetime of individual members of the ET society. For
example, an ET civilization with perhaps a span of a billions years ahead of itself, but long since
having faced little chance of further development, socially and culturally in the absence of
cross-fertilization with ideas from other comparably or more highly technologically advanced
alien cultures might choose to envelope themselves in a gravity well possessing a time dilation
factor of 1000x or more, which would permit near real time communication with alien civilizations
hundreds or even thousands of light years distant. This suggests that our search for
extraterrestrial intelligence may remain in vain unless mankind as a civilization develops more
patience in listening, but especially signal time compression techniques. Some truly ancient
advanced extraterrestrial civilizations, composed of highly actualized individuals possessing
individual lifespans in the thousands of years may actually opt for the nuclear option in the
desperate attempt to detect and contact other extraterrestrial civilizations by entombing themselves
within gravity wells will time dilation factors of 1000,000x or more and this always with the dying
hope that there are counterparts elsewhere in their galaxy or nearby galaxies, who are doing the
same!
One distinct advantage for an advanced technological civilizations living within deep gravity wells
is that observation of the cultural and technological evolution of younger neighboring civilizations
would be greatly facilitated as any exo-anthropologist of the more advanced society would be
afforded ready opportunity to observe, for example, Earths society evolving from a splintered
proto-technological culture of the early 20
th
Century into the mature space faring culture is shall
have become in, say, the 40
th
Century and all within the compressed time scale of a few weeks or
months. Select periods of particular interest could always be time decompressed for play back
from out of the huge mass of archived stellar observations and intercepted communication
transmissions. There may be a fairly highly restrictive limit on how far time can be compressed
relative to the outside Universe that is posed by the dangers of highly blue-shifted stellar and
cosmic radiation.

There are perhaps a couple of other means of escaping the impending social and intellectual
cul-de-sac inevitably facing every truly long-lived, hyper-advanced extraterrestrial civilization.
One of these would be to return to the past, retaking upon itself the former, nearly forgotten
limitations to existence, which once had invested life with so much meaning and significance.
This would have already been tried, of course, in the very early stages of the walls of an advanced
technological civilization closing in upon itself in the form of a pioneer style exploration and
colonization of the neighboring habitable planets and star systems. Another way might be to seek
solace in a transcending or diminution of the egoistic self within a collective or hive mind. Still
another way, which seems likely and even inevitable for Mankind itself, given that Moores Law
shows no sign thus far of relaxing even a little bit, is the refuge for an aging hyper-technologically
advanced civilization represented by a so-called ancestor simulation.

The idea that the age distribution of advanced extraterrestrial civilizations might follow a Gaussian
distribution is suggested by the fact that the age distribution of Sun-like stars is expected to
conform to a Gaussian distribution with a median age of perhaps five billion years. The
percentile versus age for Sun-like stars can be constructed from a fit of observed percentile vs.
stellar age data points to a Gaussian shaped curve. The sun-like character of a star is easily
enough determined from spectroscopic analysis of starlight. Even a relatively small standard
deviation for stellar age distribution of say, 333,500,000 yr. for sun-like stars presently supporting
life and extraterrestrial civilization might imply a correspondingly large civilization mean age of
around 100,000,000 yr. and a standard deviation for civilization age of something like 15 million
years! What is skew about our statistical assumptions, of course is our basing the estimate of
mean stellar age on the current age of our own sun. Who's to say that the mean stellar age for
presently existent extraterrestrial civilizations is not closer to a billion years, especially if we are
taking Class II or Class III type civilizations into the account? Of course, metal rich Population I
stars (including G dwarf stars like our Sun) are not thought to have come into their own until five
or six billion years ago. Rephrase of highlighted text above in a youtube.com posted comment I

The idea that the age distribution of advanced extraterrestrial civilizations might follow
a Gaussian distribution is suggested by the fact that the age distribution of Sun-like (G type
main-sequence) stars is expected to conform to a Gaussian distribution with a median age of
perhaps five billion years. In principle, the distribution percentile versus age for Sun-like stars
can be fit to such a curve. Even a relatively small standard deviation for stellar age distribution of
say, 333,500,000 yr. for sun-like stars presently supporting life and extraterrestrial civilization
might imply a correspondingly large civilization mean age of around 100,000,000 yr. and a
standard deviation for civilization age of something like 15 million years. What is skew about
these assumptions, of course, is basing the estimate of mean stellar age on the current age of our
own sun. Who's to say that the mean age for presently existing extraterrestrial civilizations is not
closer to a billion years, especially if we are taking Type II or Type III civilizations into account?
Of course, metal rich Population I stars (including G dwarf stars like our Sun) are not thought to
have come into their own until eight of 10 billion years ago. This is all by way of saying that the
chances that the civilization of Mankind is only 6,000 or 7,000 years old is accordingly quite slim,
virtually nil, in fact, since such a small civilization age would fall well within the 0.001th
percentile of the Gaussian age curve above. This is perhaps another way to demonstrate the high
probability of us living within an "ancestor simulation", an argument which is independent and in
addition to the excellent argument put forward by Nick Bostrom. C.f., When SETI Succeeds: the
Impact of High Information Contact, Section V, Paper 4, How Old is ET? This paper considers
the factors that determine the probable age of a civilisation that might be detected in a SETI search.
Simple stellar evolution considerations suggest an age of a few Gyr [gigayears or billion years].
Supernovae and gamma-ray bursters could in principle shorten the lifetime of a civilisation, but the
fact that life on Earth has survived for at least four Gyr places a severe constraint on such factors. If
a civilisation is detected as a result of a SETI
search, it is likely to be of order one Gyr more advanced than we are. . . The median age of a
civilisation is therefore the median age of those civilisations that started between
five and 0 Gyr ago, which is 1.7 Gyr. Therefore, in the absence of other factors, any civilisation
that we detect via SETI is likely to be 1.7 Gyr more advanced than we are.

The circular motion (acceleration) of the electron about the nucleus was originally described by
DeBroglie in terms of standing waves, which were later interpreted by Born as probability waves.
MMI of QM might help physicists understand the peculiar and counterintuitive phenomena
predicted by quantum theory for what they are psychokinetic manifestations of the conscious
mind of the freely-willed individual in experimental settings in which the state of a system has
been specially prepared as a closed system to which only that individual may interact with the
system.

Analogous to the chronology protection afforded by traveling to the spatially distant past,
causality is violated in a manner that can neither be measured or proven whenever an observer
interacts with a system that is effectively sealed off from every part of the universe save perhaps
from the vacuum state in which the observers brain is embedded so as to permit the observers
conscious state of awareness of the system. Rather than peculiar quantum effects, e.g.,
tunneling, superposition, entanglement, decoherence, etc. being necessary for the existence o
consciousness, we should supposed that the hidden feedback between the observer and system via
their overlapping ground is to be held responsible for the appearance of peculiarly quantum
effect/phenomena. All that is required are measuring instruments of precise enough resolution
and sensitivity along with a sufficiently controlled and protected environment in which to conduct
measurements.

If an electron is moving about an atomic nucleus with relativistic angular velocity can we
consistently state that the angular momentum vector of the electron points in some specific
direction of instantaneous 3-dimensional space, i.e., does L lie altogether within the
3-hypersurface of a given Minkowski spacetime? We cannot. The electron continually
experiences such large acceleration and so does not occupy an inertial reference frame.

Bayesian probability theory is ideal for the description of probabilities of eigenvalues of mixed
quantum states. This is because the probabilities of given eigenstates are conditioned upon the
likely actual quantum state of a system.


The objection to the many worlds interpretation of quantum theory on account that the theory
cannot provide adequate ground for the coherence of alternate quantum universes may be
analogously applied to the general critiques of induced gravity theory. These critiques assume
an absolute definition of the particle masses, which are inserted by hand into the Standard
Model. The necessity of invoking supersymmetry theory in order that fermionic and bosonic
fluctuations might largely cancel to yield a near zero cosmological constant stems from this
unquestioned assumption of the absolute value of the Standard Models particle masses. If
however the masses of the particles of the Standard Model are relative and derive from the balance
of scalar and vector spin current density fluctuations in which real particles embed themselves,
then there is no need to locate new species of supersymmetric particles. If mass is spin statistics
mediated and not an absolute, then we should expect spin degrees of freedom in the quantum
fluctuations of momentum-energy to be responsible for fine tuning offsetting fermionic and
bosonic contributions to a cosmological constant approaching zero.
February 2013
(See Huping Hu and
Maoxin Wu, Experimental Support of Spin-mediated Consciousness Theory) The determination
of some fundamental physical contants to 12 or more decimal places, e.g., the Bohr Magneton,
when the anthropic cosmological principle only appears to require a fine tuning of perhaps the first
one or two decimal places in each physical constant suggests, in light of the understanding of the
intrinciscally dynamical nature of particles and fields and still more of the underlying quantum
vacuum itself qua substrate of structure, change and temporality, that the exactness of the
fundamental physical constants is not so much a persisting artifact of the Universes initial and
boundary condtions that were set at the advent of the Big Bang, but a structure that is continually
being sustained within an almost infinitesimally narrow range of values.
@$
Now the idea of
applying the anthropic cosmological principle is one thing when one is speaking of possible
beginnings, but this principle is really altogether something else if one is speaking of applying this
principle as being continually in play as a principle by which the universe is being sustained from
moment to moment.

The entropy of generalized event horizons, i.e., event horizons not necessarily associated with a
trapped surface is to be understood in terms of the photonic crystal model of the quantum
vacuum. Stronger gravitational fields are associated with larger fractions of the timelike
4-momentum fluctuations being correlated by virtue of the increased density of 3-momentum
exchanges. This shift is from nonlocally correlated quantum fluctuations toward locally
correlated thermal fluctuations. The thermalizing of quantum fluctuations is also the
progressive breaking of spacetime symmetry.

The energy fluctuations in the form of creation-annihilation of virtual fermion-antifermion pairs
(virtual Cooper pairs) that are suppressed by the presence of a real fermion then appear in a
different form, e.g., the exchange of a virtual photon between the real fermion and a neighboring
virtual Cooper pair that was not suppressed via the Pauli-blocking mechanism. Now if the
uncertain momentum-energy is to be a conserved quantity such that this quantity be properly
described by a Lorenz-invariant 4-vector, then must the exchanged boson substituting for the
suppressed 4-momentum fluctuation, i.e., virtual fermion-antifermion pair possess an uncertain
3-momentum of (2 x 0.511 MeV)/c? But the entire 1.022 MeV of fluctuation energy doesnt
have to be substituted for because the fermion-antifermion pair suppressed would have also
possessed a certain amount of negative binding energy by virtual of internal virtual boson
exchange between members of the pair.

Of course quantum mechanics does not permit us to say what this offsetting negative energy, i.e.,
the precise wavenumber of the virtual photon suppressed along with the Pauli-blocked virtual pair
cannot be predicted only the probability densities of these virtual particles.

Nonlocally encoded memory and the quality and integrity that determine the apparent coherence
and rationality of the objective world through modulation of resonance with other incommensurate
consciousness. Increasing ones knowledge of the world arguably should be expected to lend
greater stability and consistency to the realm of appearances because of the nature of information
role as limiting and structuring uncertainty. Uncertainty may be closely related to entropy after
the fashion of how potential and kinetic energy are related, i.e., uncertainty is akin to a kind of
active or dynamic entropy. In the case of quantum uncertainty, information is inaccessible
because encoded in nonlocally connected quantum fluctuations. Whereas for the case of
old-fashioned thermodynamic entropy, information is inaccessible because dispersed into (rather
than encoded in) thermal fluctuations. Question: how do we then distinguish those
off-diagonal elements of the density matrix that have to do with quantum vs. thermal fluctuations?

In the Star Trek episode, entitled Parallels Whorf becomes unstuck in reality, which appears to
continually change although none of the other Enterprise crewmembers seem to notice the
changes; Whorf is the only constant and common denominator to all of the changes he observes.
This interesting Star Trek episode suggested to me the following line of speculation: perhaps
sometimes there are differences in the recollections of individuals that are too small or
insignificant to permit objective (intersubjective) agreement concerning the existence of a
discrepancy. This is perhaps by virtue of the peculiar logic of a self-limiting process. Perhaps
the boundaries between perception, memory, will and imagination are fine tuned in such a manner
as to support optimal intersubjective agreement in promoting maximal appearance of objective
reality. But if so, there must be some kind of tradeoff which results.

Is Whorfs memory correct even though it contradicts that of the other crewmembers whose
memories are also correct?

The diagonal elements of the density matrix give the probabilities of finding the system in the
state |n>, while the off-diagonal terms describe the quantum correlations between different states,
p. 96; The symmetry of the Hamiltonian is higher than the symmetry of the ground state: that is,
the symmetry is spontaneously broken, p. 156, Quantum Theory of Many-Body Systems
(Zagoskin).

in general relativity, the spin state of a particle obtained by the partial trace over the momentum is
found to evolve from a pure state into a mixed state if only the particle changes its position in a
gravitational field. Density matrix description of spin states takes on off-diagonal elements
that represent appearance of spin entropy due to entanglement of spin degrees of freedom when the
3-momentum is not in an eigenstate. Also spin-orbit coupling increases and energy eigenstates
of coupled harmonic oscillators decay due to increased spontaneous oscillator transitions with
increased virtual photon exchanges between the component oscillators increased internal
coupling (binding energy). More of the energy uncertainty, /\E is internally generated and less
externally by vacuum (decoupling of crystal from vacuum fluctuation reservoir). What does this
mean thermodynamically? the spin entropy of a spin-1/2 particle is not invariant under the
Lorentz transformation unless the particle is in the momentum eigenstate. In conclusion, we
have shown that spin entropy is generated when spin-1/2 particle moves in a gravitational field.
Even if the spin at one spacetime point is in a pure state, it may evolve into a mixed state as the
particle moves. In particular, the spin entropy of a circularly moving particle increases very
rapidly near the event horizon of the Schwarzchild black hole, Rapid spin decoherence in strong
gravitation, Terashima and Ueda.


+
+While Lorentz transformations cannot change the overall quantum entanglement of a bipartite
state[3, 4], they can change which properties of the local systems are entangled. In particular,
Gingrich and Adami[5] showed that under a Lorentz transformation the initial entanglement of just
the spin degrees of freedom of two spin half particles can be transferred into an entanglement
between both the spin and momentum degrees of freedom. Physically this means that detectors,
which respond only to spin degrees of freedom, will see a reduction of entanglement when they are
moving at large uniform velocity. In so far as teleportation fidelity is an operational measure of
quantum entanglement, our results suggest that quantum entanglement may not be preserved in
non-inertial frames. +

The above passage suggests that changes in the complexion of quantum entanglement track the
shift from energy to 3-momentum uncertainty.





If we write p
0
in the eigenbasis of H, then the elements p
rr
, or the diagonal elements, describe the
populations of the energy levels. The off-diagonal elements describe when a transition is
occurring between two levels, which we will call a coherence. (The density matrix is determined
by the Boltzmann equation in the case where the Hamiltonian describing the system in equilibrium
is diagonal)

For this we need the equation of motion for the density operator better known as the
Liouville-von Neumann equation.

dr/dt = -i[H,r(t)]

The commutator in this equation implies that some fundamental incompatibility between the
density operator and the Hamiltonian must exist in order for the system to change with time. If
they commute, then our system exists in its stationary states with respect to that Hamiltonian. If
they do not commute then our system is in a non-stationary state ad the coefficients of the
expansion we wrote above change with time.

The Knight and King theoretical chess mating position presents us with an apt metaphor of the
Godel Incompleteness theorem applied to the rules of chess. The rules of chess do not predict a
King and Knight mating position though such a mating position nonetheless exists.

A fermion gas can either be in a pure quantum state or in a statistical mixture. What distinctly
different roles do exchange bosons play in a pure state vs. a statistically mixed state of a fermion
gas: perhaps the fermions of the gas are coupled respectively via exchange of on-shell vs. off-shell
virtual bosons?

The mutual incommensurability of distinct individual consciousnesses accounts for the
phenomena of emergence, novelty and indeterminism. How can there be a rational and coherent
common ground via which these incommensurate consciousnesses may interact, but one that does
not nullify the transcendental distinctness individual consciousnesses?

Protein structures are the expression of sequences of genes. If memes are analogous to genes,

The notion of altruism arose through a process of a negative dialectic because people are not able
to perceive how they exploit others, are un aware of their own agendas and how the subconscious
controls the implementation of those agendas. Here is an example of how we can have a concept
without there being instantiation of the concept apart from the relative differences of appearances.

A mass, m

How are we to interpret the off-diagonal components of our angular
momentum tensor, L

?

The 3-angular momenta components are related by a commutator, the imaginary (timelike)
component of the 4-angular momentum are related by an anti-commutator. -Verify this
assertion-

Energy and angular momentum commute with one another. This suggests that the presence of
Heisenberg energy uncertainty implies uncertainties in angular momentum. Discuss the
implications in terms of a spin-based theory of induced gravity.

L
uv
superficially appears to be a 2
nd
rank tensor, but it can be proved that L
uv
only possesses four
independent components. Firstly, the components along the diagonal are negligible on a
macroscopic scale. L
uv
takes on tensor characteristics only in the presence of matter. The
conserved 2
nd
rank tensor, T
uv
should be a subgroup of the group describing the would-be
conserved 4-momentum. The quadrupole radiation (gravitational radiation?) emitted by an
accelerating mass may be modeled in terms of the radiation reaction of the vacuum as it
reconfigures its virtual magnetic dipoles. The radiation reaction of the vacuum due to
acceleration of a mass must be consistent with the reaction of the spin statistics of the vacuum to
the acceleration. The theories of specific fundamental interactions of particles and fields are
special cases of the theory of the spin statistics physical mechanism underlying the interactions.
This is to say that the so-called fundamental forces mediated by specific exchange bosons are a
manifestation of quantum statistical forces that are really probability current density flows.


If such mythic elements as virgin births, resurrections, second comings, theophagy, etc.
collectively exhibit self-organization rather than evolve via sociocultural selection of random
mutations to mythic ideas.

The protein structures that are the expressions of nucleic acid base pair sequences possess
themselves the chemical coherence and stability of genetic base pair sequences. With increased
coherence of systems by virtue of the systems self-organization these systems become more
independent and difficult to predict and control.


Thus, Fermi-Dirac statistics appears in this holistic, continuum field theory of matter as a linear
approximation, when the constituents of the matter of the actual closed system appear to be
uncoupled. This approximation is valid only when the amount of energy-momentum transfer
between interacting constituents of the closed system is nonrelativistic in magnitude (See p. 111
of Quantum Mechanics and Gravity, Mendel Sachs).

Do the off-diagonal terms of the stress-momentum-energy tensor constitute a measure of
spacetime symmetry breaking? Free space possesses negligible stress-momentum-energy and
the off-diagonal terms of T
uv
are owing to the effect of real particles and fields upon the quantum
vacuum embedding in which all particles and fields are embedded. Take a look at the relativistic
momentum-energy equation,

E = sqrt [p

Where p is the 3-momentum and m
0
c is the imaginary component of the 4-momentum.
The current density of the 3-momentum is constituted by the current density of the binding
force-mediating bosons within the mass, m
0.
The mass, m
0
is composed of its material
constituent particles, fermions, which account for the imaginary component of the current density
of the 4-momentum. The mechanism underlying the conservation of E in the above energy
equation may indeed be that of integrated Bose-Fermi quantum statistics.

What effect does a gravitational field or spacetime curvature have upon the strength of spin-orbit
coupling? A superficial search of the relevant scientific literature appears to indicate that the
spin-orbit coupling increases in progressively curved spacetimes.

Can atomic clocks and the global positioning systems that depends on them be vastly increased by
exploiting the unique underlying mechanisms of quantum computers, namely superposition and
entanglement?

What is the difference between the present and the re-presented? To wit, lack of original
context. The very passage of time seems to require the notion of representation in the
above-implied sense. Investigate the notion of temporal evolution of density matrix versus pure
states in the two cases where
o|
is subset of
i
and
i
is subset of
o|
. The temporal evolution
of an infinite set may be both absolute and relative. The possibility of my existence prior to my
first existing evolves by virtue of my having later existed, so that my existence according to the
template of my possible existence prior to my existence becomes no longer possible. This
suggests that perhaps the notion of such a template corresponding to my unique personal identity is
an incoherent notion. There is no such thing as possible human beings that never succeed in
coming into being/existence. The distinction, possible vs. actual only lines up with that of
appearance vs. non-appearance of an abstract form.

Zeldovich does not address why the zero-point energies of the fields do not build up a huge
cosmological constant. So he assumes, in a rather ad hoc way, that the zero-point energies, as
well as higher order electromagnetic corrections to this, are effectively cancelled to zero in the
theory. What is left are the higher order corrections where gravity is involved, and the spirit of
Zeldovichs paper is that this left over vacuum energy, acting as a cosmological constant, might
explain the quasar observations, c.f., The Quantum Vacuum and the Cosmological Constant
Problem, Rugh and Zinkernagel. But higher order corrections are artifacts of the particular
assumptions made by the theorist and so what has been left outside of these approximations cannot
be cited as the source of all the important physics treated in the theory. How can the substantive
physics described by a theory be a function of the arbitrary choices that underlie the
approximations of the theory.

Zeldovich theorizes that induced gravitational effects occur with higher order correction terms in
the effective theory where the positive and negative energy contributions of the vacuum fail to
precisely cancel. This is puzzling for several reasons. Is Zeldovich saying that both the
positive and negative energy of the vacuum gravitate absolutely (and not merely in the sense of
induced gravitation), but that there is only an observable induced gravitational effect from the
vacuum component that fails to cancel?

The inner-outer or subjective-objective distinction applies anew to each individual persons
consciousness. In metaphysical terms therefore this distinction must fail when applied to two or
more distinct individual consciousnesses.


How does the indistinguishability of quantum particles affect the group theoretic description of
particle permutations and combinations? The breaking of a symmetry as the partitioning of a
group into subgroups is exemplified by the collapse or evolution of a pure state wavefunction into
a statistically mixed state. (Superposed eigenstates do not exchange momentum or energy with
one another) An Abelian group transformation represents a commutative operation; a
non-Abelian transformation represents non-commutative operations. The shift in vacuum
statistics from a balance of commuting and anti-commuting virtual particles toward more
commuting and less anti-commuting constitutes a change in the topology (connectivity) of the
vacuum. Imagine that time dilation is to be conceptualized through the analogy of a subatomic
sized pendulum (or coupled system of such oscillators) or mass, m, length, L and period of
oscillation of T = sqrt[L/g]. But what shall play the role of g here, that is of restoring the
pendulum bob to rest once perturbed?

If Heisenberg energy uncertainty is not assumed then energy is clearly not conserved during
atomic transitions. Energy might be deemed to be conserved during atomic transitions that are
caused by fluctuations in the vacuums energy of E
o
<= /\E, c.f., coefficient of spontaneous
being determined by local density of virtual photons. Atomic transitions that are triggered by
exchange of virtual photons between neighboring excited atoms dont invoke the action of the
vacuum in terms of its fluctuation energy. Just imagine a closed system of excited atoms, say
contained within a quantum resonant cavity, and in which the transitions in energy of each atom is
triggered by photons emitted by neighboring just deexcited atoms. /\t ~ a complex superposition

The Gibbs phenomenon is not present in the absence of initial or boundary conditions upon the
wavefunction-density matrix. Although a black hole horizon does not appear to differentiate
between which virtual fermion of a spontaneously created virtual Cooper pair falls into the
horizon and which particle escapes from this horizon; it may be that the horizon presented by a
rapidly expanding universe (or even an inflating universe) indeed differentiates matter from
antimatter virtual fermions, preferentially absorbing one over the other. Or perhaps there is an
unsuspected degeneracy in the structure of the photon that masks the difference between photons
and anti-photons, one that did not exist prior to the last phase transition undergone by the quantum
vacuum as it was cooling. The electron, muon and Tau may have once differed by more than
merely their mass. There may have been in other words, multiple varieties of electron and
positron and these differences perhaps can no longer be sustained by te phase presently occupied
by the vacuum. The creation of degeneracies by a phase change of the vacuum is just the
opposite of a symmetry breaking of the vacuum, e.g., freezing of water, etc. And involves the
disappearance of certain historical, local interactions, e.g., loss of multiple species of photon,
leading to photon and antiphoton becoming indistinguishable.

Nonlocal correlations encode the information about the historical interaction of particles that
would otherwise had been bound up in local interactions of the particles that would have violated
the principle of the particles' distinguishability (as well as Heisenberg uncertainty). (See a
glimmer of the physical basis of the distinction of free will and causality). Changes to the
boundary conditions of Psi that are not traceable to prior changes to the boundary conditions upon
Psi or to the S-eqn. Deterministic evolution of Psi. The deterministic evolution of Psi (according
to the S-eqn.) automatically takes into account all other deterministic changes to the boundary
conditions upon Psi. Is this principle true nonetheless when boundary conditions are interpreted
as initial conditions?

The behavior of the the wavefunction is not in accord with that of an intersubjective (i.e.,
objective) entity, namely its behavior under collapse upon observation only the boundary
conditions upon wavefunctions are reproducible. (See quantum nondemolition measurements)

It is easy to understand what academics have in mind that motivates them to lend support to such
liberal activist causes as removal of the phrase under God from the American Pledge of
Allegiance. These ivory tower thinkers, heavily influenced by postmodern and deconstructive
thought picture a world in which humans spontaneously form their own tribes while still in their
youth and freely choose to adopt their own individually suited folkways and belief systems while
under the tutelage of a state-run school system, which itself makes no value judgments concerning
theory and practice of human existence, other than that of respect for choice and diversity on the
one hand and promotion by each individual and tribe of its own health, safety, security and
pragmatic efficiency on the other hand.

In such a society no one should be the conscience for another and the State only assumes its role as
conscience should the ethics of one impose itself upon that of another. The very notion of
society requiring some trans-tribal allegiance to a monolithic state is to these cloistered
academics of the utmost repugnance, particularly should the public schools be complicit in the
promotion, still less the enforcement of such an allegiance. Such an idealist utopia could only be
possible in some distant technological future in which competition in every sphere of endeavor has
been rendered unnecessary to include the free-market capitalist system. This glorious future
becomes possible only once the human factor is successfully edited out of the techno-societal
equation. This begs the important question: who shall be responsible in this distant technocratic
society of handing over absolute power to the just machines who shall forthrightly and ethically
regulate human society, necessarily to include the placing of inexorable limits upon all future
prospects of higher human endeavor, which is to say placing those limits upon the human spirit
itself. This misguided idealistic vision for a perfectly regulated future society at once strikes
those of the pioneering, inventing, discovering human spirit as a kind of meaningless fishbowl in
which a trivial existence of birth, school, work, death shall play itself out over countless
generations. It is at this stage, perhaps centuries hence when Furukawas originally
presumptuously conceived End of History shall truly have taken place. We are reminded here
of the following verse from the Bible, Ecclesiastes 1:11: There is no remembrance of men of old,
and even those who are yet to come will not be remembered by those who follow.

To recap, a Fitzgerald-Lorentz contraction of, e.g., a gas of interacting fermions with relativistic
velocity directed along the positive x-direction results in a like contraction of the x-positional
uncertainty, /\x of the gas particles. By the relation, /\x/\p
x
~ h, the x-momentum uncertainty,
/\p
x
of the gas/gas particles is inversely increased. In addition, by virtue of relativistic time
dilation, the Heisenberg time uncertainty, /\t of the physical processes occurring within the
interacting fermion gas increases and the Heisenberg energy uncertainty of the fermions of the gas,
/\E
i
decreases inversely with the magnitude of the time dilation. By virtue of the changes in /\x
and /\t being mutually related as components of a spacetime four vector, it follows that the /\p
i
and
/\E are also mutually related as components of a spacetime four vector. The fundamental origin
of Heisenberg 3-momentum and energy uncertainties lies with spontaneous quantum fluctuations
of the vacuums own 3-momentum and energy, c.f., www.google.com for explanation of the
concept of the conservation of interaction.

Relativistic effects such as those described above follow directly from the Lorentz invariance of
the vacuum.
@$
If Lorentz invariance is not to be merely a formal structure, but still more a
physical property of the vacuum, then at some extreme limit of the boundary conditions, Lorentz
invariance must break down. This is a deep philosophical point in physics: physical properties
can never be absolute in the sense of pure mathematical relationships, but must always be a
function of the supplied boundary conditions. Physical laws described by formal mathematical
relationships are really not physical laws at all, but are the real, hidden and forever
unascertainable physical laws subject to initial and boundary conditions.
@$
The vast
permutational-combinational pool from which the Anthropic Cosmological Principle appears to
draw its explanatory power is now seen to contain only the set of possible boundary conditions
to what is a fundamentally open-ended physical or causal process. The implication here seems
to be that the distinction, abstract vs. concrete or formal vs. physical has thusly been turned on its
head. Paradoxically, real physical process never manifests itself so that mans instruments of
observation may reach. Its been asked, What breathes fire into the equations of physics? so
that the equations describe a real rather than simulated physical world.

The 3-momentum and energy quantum operators may of course be decomposed into appropriate
creation and annihilation operators,
^
a and
^
a
+
as demonstrated in any undergraduate quantum
mechanics textbook. In the case of /\p
i
the particles created and annihilated are virtual bosons; in
the case of /\p
0
(/\E) the particles created and annihilated are virtual fermion-antifermion (Cooper)
pairs. The discussion thus far points up the vital importance of quantum statistics to a physical
mechanism underlying special relativistic effects. What this means is that the peculiar effects of
special relativity are real physical effects and not merely appearances based in changes or
differences in the reference frames of observers. So rather than special relativistic effects being
merely kinematical in origin, these effects are now seen as dynamical in nature. In other words,
rather than relativistic changes in the Heisenberg momentum and energy uncertainties being the
effect of relativistic changes in the Heisenberg position and time uncertainties, just the converse of
this is true: the relativistic changes in time and space are caused by changes in the temporal and
spatial rates of virtual fermion and boson creation-annihilation within the accelerated objects
local quantum vacuum. It seems in terms of this model that when a mass is accelerated under
thrust, the energy supplied to the object in order to accelerate it does so by virtue of this energy
affecting the structure of the local quantum vacuum surrounding the object and in which the object
is embedded (and which continually acts to sustain this object in existence). Because of the
well noted equivalence of inertial frames, the object must move in response to this acceleration in
such a manner that the object continues to perceive around itself a spacetime symmetric
(Lorentz invariant) quantum vacuum, once the object is no longer under thrust.

Pattern recognition is heavily dependent upon the ability of the mind to grasp or draw for itself
linkages of myriad sets of distinctions of different classes, genres and levels of abstract and/or
metaphorical description. But before the mind is set to perform this pattern processing function,
there must be a preexistent database of connected clusters of family resemblances.

We disavow the creature so as to deem ourselves worthy of the glory of God on our own merit.
Only the wretchedness of the evidence of sin, e.g., decay of the body, the failing of its various
powers, the disintegration of ones relationships with family and with ones fellow man, loss of
ones dreams and ideals, dimly realizing the charade of human existence as man defines it for
himself through the consistency of his actions in the world only misfortunes such as this succeed
in convincing one that he has all along stood unworthy. But of course, by this late date one is set
and confirmed in the error of ones peculiar ways and the truth of Santayanas maxim, Character
is fate is born out with the greatest of force. Some are lucky and through war or other
degradation have their inherent unworthiness demonstrated early on. We are reminded of the
Tibetan Buddhist belief that the self can be bound to the wheel (of existence) not only by chains of

Gravitation is not physically independent of the dynamics of the vacuums virtual processes and
is not a source of the dynamics.

Sarfatti proposes a new model in order to explain the apparent cosmological proportions of dark
matter and dark energy and more importantly the reason for a non-gravitating Lorentz invariant
vacuum energy of density 123 orders of magnitude larger than the cosmological constant predicted
by the Einstein field equations. In this model, a vacuum Bose condensate composed of unbound
fermion-antifermion virtual pairs contribute a negative energy to the cosmological constant that
counterbalances the positive contribution made by virtual bosons comprising the zero point energy
fluctuations making up the Heisenberg uncertainty noise. Sarfattis proposed model seems
more or less consistent with what I proposed in conversations with Brian Swift, Ph.D. in 1996 and
posted to the sci.physics newsgroup during 1997-1998.

The mismatch between experiment and theory is so great in this particular case that any theoretical
description which abstracts from the real underlying concrete process of the quantum vacuum and
therefore merely approximates the correct theory of quantum gravity, must enjoy the profoundly
improbable stroke of luck in which two approximations made by the theory mutually cancel to 1
part per 10
123
in order that the theorys predictions be consistent with the observed value of the
cosmological constant. The cancellation of two infinities in such a theory must however be
exactly 0 and cannot yield an infinitesimal though finite observed value for the cosmological
constant. Only a theory therefore which proposes an actual physical mechanism for gravity (and
can demonstrate in terms of a concrete model that two or more near infinite physical quantities do
in fact offset each other to produce such a small cosmological constant) has any prospect of
accounting for the quantum mechanical nature of gravity while at once remaining consistent with
the predictions of general relativity. Does the fact that the universal gravitational constant is
the only fundamental physical constant that cannot be determined to greater than three decimal
places indicate perhaps that gravity is not a fundamental force?

Phenomenologists tell us that perception and observation are necessarily theory-laden. That
both quantum theory and general relativity are confirmed to many decimal places in all of their
substantive predictions and yet seem to starkly conflict in their predictions for the value of the
cosmological constant suggests that the very definitions of cosmological constant presumed in
the two theories are incommensurate. In other words, the two theories do not make widely
discrepant predictions concerning a single quantity; rather quantum theory and general relativity
define the cosmological constant from incompatible points of view, quantum theory, from the
subatomic, general relativity, from the cosmological. When one compares the quantum and
cosmological distance scales, 10
-35
vs. 10
26
meters, one realizes a difference of scale of
approximately 61 orders of magnitude. It is likely no coincidence that the square of this distance
scale discrepancy yields a difference in order of magnitude of 123. This is just the discrepancy
between general relativitys predictions for the density of a black hole at opposite ends of the
quantum-cosmological distance scale. Clearly the density of the quantum vacuum is boundary
condition dependent and not absolute. This is further support for our earlier stated notion that it
is only the bound energy component of the quantum vacuum that figures in the vacuums energy
expectation value and hence possessing gravitational mass equivalency.

With increasing gravitational potential, greater density of virtual fermion-antifermion pairs
become mutually coupled and coupled to the Unruh thermal vacuum via the induced greater
density of exchange bosons. The increased density of quantum locally connected Unruh
thermal virtual pairs is compensated by a decreased density of quantum nonlocally connected
virtual fermion-antifermion pairs. In a word, the information bound up in the quantum nonlocal
energy fluctuations is converted to the entropy of the quantum locally connected momentum
fluctuations. A matrix of virtual fermions in which fermions are only quantum nonlocally
connected and not coupled through exchanges of virtual momentum may be modeled as a
minimally entropic thermodynamic system. Since this matrix of virtual Cooper pairs constitutes
the Heisenberg energy uncertainty of the free space quantum vacuum, the free space quantum
vacuum is for practical purposes in a global eigenstate of its Hamiltonian. Mutual exchange of
virtual bosons between the virtual Cooper pairs implies local virtual transitions of the quantum
vacuum between distinct vacuum eigenenergies. We need to note a distinction here between two
types of vacuum energy fluctuations, spacetime symmetric, globally degenerate and
broken-spacetime-symmetric fluctuations. Is the distinction here also characterized by virtual
boson exchanges between fermions exclusively within virtual Cooper pairs vs. virtual boson
exchanges between and among the virtual Cooper pairs? Exchanges of 3-momentum between
Cooper pairs would tend to disrupt the perfect, crystalline order of the fermionic vacuum as a
matrix of non-interacting fermion-antifermion pairs that are nonetheless mutually simultaneous to
within the Heisenberg time uncertainty of the moment of each pairs creation-annihilation out of a
vacuum state of near 0 eigenenergy. The virtual Cooper pairs are only mutually interacting via
virtual 3-momentum exchanges to within the Heisenberg 3-momentum uncertainty of the
contiguous pairs. In this way, there is no distinction between emission and absorption of a
virtual photon between contiguous virtual pairs. Full reversibility of 3-momentum exchange is
thus maintained in the free space quantum vacuum. Once the momentum-energy of the
exchanged virtual bosons exceeds that of the Heisenberg fluctuation energy (energy uncertainty)
of the virtual pairs, then the virtual interactions of mutual exchange of 3-momenta becomes no
longer reversible with the engendering of a certain density of thermodynamic entropy within the
local quantum vacuum. At just this stage does the erstwhile perfectly crystalline global structure
of the vacuum begin to break down into a pattern of localized domains This reminds us of the
onset of convection within a heated fluid, once the threshold for the fluids thermodynamic
equilibrium has been exceeded by too great a rate of heating vis a vis the fluids internal capacity
for heat transfer. The close relationship of the Schrodinger and Heat diffusion equations perhaps
supports this thermodynamic analogy with vacuum processes.

Violations of Lorentz invariance, e.g., formation of gluon condensates in extremely high energy
particle accelerators, were only to be expected eventually as observational instrumentation and
accelerator energies have improved, since relativistic effects are physical effects, that is, the
mathematical equations of relativity theory are abstractions, which as such may only capture
physics in its descriptions to a certain level of approximation. From this point of view all
mathematical physical theories are effective theories. But the substituting of metaphysical
theories for these effective theories seems much the less desirable alternative. This is just the
fundamental philosophical difference that has always existed between advocates of the
Copenhagen and Bohmian interpretations of the quantum measurement problem.

See recent scientific articles concerning the recent first creation of fermionic condensates.
Research phenomenon of formation of Bose-Einstein condensates as a physical effect of Lorentz
contraction at relativistic particle energies. The fact of qualitative and not merely quantitative
physical changes result from particles reaching relativistic energies is intriguing for a number of
reasons. Firstly, this phenomenon points up the possibility that Lorentz invariance is only valid
for lower order physical phenomena. Secondly, that preferred inertial frame effects are only
masked at low energy.

C.f., April 2004 issue of Scientific American magazine, p. 30, paragraph 2, Shattered Glass.
As protons or heavy nuclei, such as gold, are accelerated to nearly the speed of light, the quarks
and gluons inside flatten into a pancake-like structure, a relativistic effect called Lorentz
contraction. The energy of acceleration also produces more gluons. The flattened multitude
of gluons then begins to overlap, falling into the same quantum state, similar to the way atoms in a
low-temperature Bose-Einstein condensate overlap and behave collectively as one gigantic atom.

C.f., April 2004 issue of Discover magazine, p. 18, paragraph 1, A Slippery New State of Matter.
The helium became a solid whose atoms settled into the same quantum ground state, meaning
they all had the same energy. In this phase, called a Bose-Einstein condensate, the wavelike
aspects of matter become prominent. Constant and uniform energy throughout the condensate
of course implies that the condensate is not undergoing any energy fluctuations. Does this also
imply that the condensate is undergoing maximal 3-momentum exchanges within its bulk? How
do we reconcile this result with the results reported in the article, Quantum Noise in Photonics with
respect to our notion of the momentum-energy fluctuation vector? Doesnt the Bose-Einstein
condensate represent a special case of squeezed quantum states where vanishing energy
fluctuations of the condensate must mean transfer of the Heisenberg uncertainty noise to
3-momentum degrees of freedom, corresponding to the spacetime squeezing of the vacuum?

How can environmental decoherence come about through the overwhelming of the vacuum
degrees of freedom by the degrees of freedom of a mere gaseous mixture of molecules? Might
these degrees of freedom of the gas be those of an associated abstract Hilbert space? Must the
gas break up into a matrix of domains with each domain defined by the density of
permutational-combinational degrees of freedom of the gas within this domain (relative to the
underlying supporting quantum vacuum)? This is reminiscent of the formation of Bernard cells
in a heated gas or fluid undergoing convection beyond the threshold that can be supported by the
convective degrees of freedom for the entire mass of heated fluid/gas. The size of the Bernard
cells in this particular case is determined by a balance between radiative and convective heat flow
such that local thermal equilibrium of the fluid/gas is (maintained or minimized?)

Freuds Psychic Energy Conservation (FPEC) principle that is at work in dreams is analogously at
work in quantum field theory. The stability of matter is dependent upon Heisenberg uncertainty,
i.e., not looking. The collapse of the wavefunction is an example of this, but because the
world is never a quantum coherent state (as indeed perhaps a dream is), the act of quantum
observation doesnt produce macroscopic (or intersubjective) effects as is the case for a dream,
which may be described as a timelike coherent state, as opposed to the physical (out there)
spacelike coherent state. Collapse (or drawing down?) of the false vacuum that led to the
creation of all of the bits of physical reality is analogous to the drawing down of the dreamers
consciousness to produce the quantum coherent state of the dreamers imagined world. The bits
of reality of the dreamers world are bound together via quantum nonlocal connections that
function as the causality of the dreamscape. In physical reality the world coheres through the
mutual exchange of 3-momentum, which is by and large a local quantum, as opposed to a quantum
nonlocal process.

There is infinitely greater scope for creativity when the system in which new forms are brought
forth is not limited to maintaining a coherent state, i.e., a pure or unmixed state or statistical
mixture. In a coherent state the quantum system has to be directly and continuously supported
by timelike fluctuations in the vacuums energy, all the while the systems global symmetry must
remain in effect. As already mentioned infinitely greater scope for development of the system is
opened up once the global symmetry of the system is broken, resulting in the emergence of local
symmetries and their associated exchange particles/fields. The system now no longer possesses
a single quantum phase. The internal forces that emerged within the system when its global
symmetry was broken are now described in terms of a local symmetry groups describing
transformation of local quantum phases of the system components, e.g., the SO-3 symmetry group
of spacetime transformation of the vector potential, A(x,t) in the case of the electromagnetic force
(Lorentz transformations of A(x,t)). (Rewrite this after seeing Kakus book, Quantum Field
Theory) The transformation symmetry groups for the weak nuclear and strong nuclear exchange
forces of course describe other pieces of the broken global symmetry.
@$
Gravity is presently
thought to be what results when the global supersymmetry of the vacuum becomes broken.

One possible general approach to solving the cosmological constant problem would be to
introduce a theory in which gravity is explained in terms of fields that respect spacetime
coordinates, but only once a spacetime coordinate system has been arbitrarily chosen and which is
otherwise indexed by variables not defined with respect to spacetime.

What effect might the observers state of knowledge have upon statistically mixed states while he
is observing them?
@$
Is there any type of observation/measurement that might be performed
upon a statistically mixed quantum state that would have an analogously disruptive effect upon the
system to that by which the observers consciousness collapses the state vector describing a pure
quantum state?

Were quantum particles distinguishable, both quantum statistics and the Heisenberg uncertainty
principle would be violated. Moreover, the Bell inequality would become a new physical law,
i.e., not be violated, making nonlocal quantum connections impossible, in addition to quantum
superposition itself. In a word, everything that makes quantum mechanics wonderful and
counterintuitive in contradistinction to classical physics would be ruled out in the event of
quantum particles being distinguishable.

At some crucial point, perhaps connected on a sufficiently small spatiotemporal scale quantum
particles become context dependent, that is, differences which could in theory be seized upon as a
basis for distinguishing the particle were it not for the fact of this context being one and the same
with that to which the observers brain is energetically coupled,
@$
so that mutual interference
between the two contexts, that of particle and observers consciousness, destroys the information
otherwise available to the observer that could have been used to distinguish the particles, violating
all that quantum mechanics holds dear. This brings up the question whether all
characteristically quantum effects might not be observer effects that result from the act of
observation incorporating the quantum system as a link interposed in the cycle of recursive
feedback of the observers consciousness. On such a view classical physics would represent
objective behavior on the part of nature, behavior of systems in accordance with the
deterministic Schrodinger equation, intersubjective behavior and quantum behavior falling
outside the scope of the Schrodinger equation of motion, quantum effects where the distinction
between subjective and objective begins to break down. Such breakdown would be
interpreted as a transition from the observers brain and the observed quantum system merely
exchanging energy to these two systems beginning to exchange information, i.e., becoming
quantum nonlocally coupled.

So the usual quantum-classical dichotomy should perhaps be replaced with the tripartite category:
object-object, object-subject, subject-subject. Nonlocal quantum effects may be playfully
thought of as resulting whenever
@$
the objective aspects of subjectivity become entangled with the
subjective aspects of objectivity. This takes place when the ground of the observers mind and
that of the system being observed become coupled. System becomes conscious of the observer
and the observer acts upon the system in an unanticipated manner, c.f., surprising the vacuum.

The fact that not only physical interactions may trigger discontinuous changes in the state vector,
e.g., environmental decoherence, but that observer-induced changes to the spectrum of
counterfactuals may do this, suggests that it is not so much the consciousness per se of actual
individuals, but the possible consciousness of potential individuals that are really responsible for
Psi collapse in, e.g., delayed-choice experiments.

In other words, quantum effects are the peculiar phenomena induced whenever the observers act
of observation causes his consciousness to bump into itself, i.e., to undergo self interference.
Whenever this self-interference is initiated by the system (rather than by the observer himself) the
effect is the observers perception of the well-behaved external world of classical physics; when
initiated by the observer himself, the effect exhibited has the peculiar characteristics of a quantum
as opposed to a classical system. The observers act of quantum observation determines a
system eigenvalue for him, but only determines the quantum probability of system eigenvalues for
anyone else.
@$
The observer can only observe quantum effects resulting from his own acts of
observation/measurement. The effect of others acts of observation can always be adequately
described in terms of classical physics. This is a rather bold hypothesis that if true, might help us
to understand the unique and highly peculiar role that consciousness plays in the quantum
measurement problem.

Discuss the ethnic sexual dimorphism exhibited by races that have interbred with the Turks in

acts differentially upon the sexes in this case is perhaps clear.

Haags Theorem says that under certain boundary conditions the system Hamiltonian cannot be
decomposed into independent interaction-free and interactive components. This no doubt is
connected with the nonseparability of the wavefunction into spatial and temporal parts, which in
turn implies that the basis vectors in terms of which the state vectors are expressed, are not
mutually orthogonal within spacetime (when the wavefunctions argument is the spacetime
interval rather than independent space and time variables). Is it possible for the components of
the spatial projection of Psi(s) to be non-orthogonal while the (3 + 1) components of Psi(s) itself
(within a certain reference frame) to be mutually orthogonal?

The conscious mind stands in relation to the subconscious in much the same way as does a pale of
water to a droplet of water. The conscious mind in its creative acts always trails behind the
subconscious, which is these acts true author. The time lag is roughly that of the temporal
dimension of the specious present. One may be disappointed at the illusory nature of free will
that is pointed up by Benjamin Libets experiments on the relative time of action potentials and
subjective experience of initiating an action, but we really should be pleased that it is the more
competent of partners (the subconscious) that holds the real responsibility for our choices and
actions. So-called off-the-cuff humor provides a ready example of this time delay between the
conscious and unconscious minds apprehension of humorous relationships. The final moment
just before an insight into new relationships enters the conscious mind, the subconscious is
translating these insights (which are really its own) into a language understood by the analytical
left-brain.
@$
Creativity is a phenomenon of the other acting through the self. For some
unknown benefit to the race, seized upon by natural selection, the neural networks of the human
brain evolved a structure which consistently maintains peculiar timelike correlations between
perceived sensation, intention, decision, memory, imagination and action so as to put the long
since reified self of the other, but now projected upon the human creatures own person in the

One possible simultaneous solution to
the problem of mind-body dualism and the problem of other minds is to suppose that we are each

In this way, methodological and epistemological solipsism are true, while metaphysical solipsism
can be maintained as false provided that there is a concept of consciousness such that each mind
can be considered a valid instantiation of such a concept of consciousness. There should be no
distinction between consciousness as such merely being a concept versus its representing a
universal mind. In other words, when it comes to consciousness as such, the distinction between
existence and subsistence collapses.

When gestalt perception of the other systematically or organically fails or is disrupted, there crops

Dissolution of the ring in the Elvin forge of Mordor symbolizes the dissolution of structures of one
level of unity into those of higher unity, i.e., the continuity of the unbroken circle for that of the
continuity of a massive volume of molten material. The effect of human consciousness upon
quantum measurement points to consciousness possessing a deeper physical unity than that of any
physical system that may be described by a quantum mechanical wavefunction, as well as to the
fundamental incommensurability of subjective and intersubjective physical processes.

Human beings are by and large unaware of how pat and stylized are the alleged
intersubjective objects populating their subjective field of perception. The a priori forms of
perception are artifacts of mankinds long and drawn out childhood and it appears that each has
been carefully designed by a caring and solitous parent seeking to enhance the coziness and
reassuring familiarity of her developing toddlers environment.

Unity corresponds to transformational symmetry. Coherence is a phenomenon of compensation
of lost global symmetry that is perhaps bound up in nonlocal quantum connectivity.


C.f., Diese Verdammte Quantenspringerei (
cit=
LANL Preprint Server article, dated 23 October
2000), Let us compromise by considering a finite sequence of measurements and trying to capture
the ideal of continuous awareness by letting the measurements get closer and closer in time, taking
the limit as the separation between them tends to zero. We will replace steady watching with
repeated looking. The result is disconcerting. . . . So if the unstable particle is observed
assiduously enough the probability that it has decayed at time T is the same as at time, namely zero
if we start out knowing that it has not decayed. A watched pot never boils. Either that or
continual measurement is not a good model for continuous observation. How does the
observers uncertainty (about whether he has witnessed the quantum event he is expecting to
observe) relate to the fundamental quantum (Heisenberg) uncertainty, and is this connection a
systemic and logically necessary one? How does the quantum uncertainty of the observers
brain relate to the observers uncertainty as to his own quantum measurements (including those of
his own brains quantum state)?

Is there a connection between
au=
Wigners Wigners Friend interpretation of the quantum
measurement problem and the integral temporal structure of the stream of human consciousness
and this consciousness specious present, i.e., the temporal bubble in which all temporal
change is integrated and in which all objects are represented within consciousness? There
seems to be at least two distinct though closely interconnected axes of temporality in human
consciousness, that along which time is integrated within a single temporal bubble and that axis
along which the contents of a given temporal bubble are updated to reflect changing states of
awareness.

The oscillation and/or rolling of the electron gun scan lines, which become visible whenever a live
television camera is aimed at a television receiver receiving a broadcast serves as a partial though
perhaps useful analogy for the effect of close and detailed observation of atoms and molecules by
a scanning electron microscope. In the case where the camera is pointed at the television
receiver that is already receiving a signal from the same camera, stunning symmetrical, oscillating
fractal patterns are seen. The fractal structure is not limited to spatial patterns, but the pattern of
oscillation of the video output over time is also fractal and possessing a kind of symmetry.
Similar to Fourier analysis of time or position domain functions in terms of functions with respect
to frequency and momentum, the non-recursive video patterns should be decomposable in terms of
sets of interacting recursive patterns. Here were reminded of earlier discussion of the
emergence of expectation values from quantum fluctuations and
au=
Heisenberg uncertainties (via
nonlocal quantum correlations). The reduction of Heisenberg uncertainty was related to the
quantity of information contained in a structure abstracted from the matrix of nonlocally connected
vacuum fluctuations. This information is contained in the network of nonlocal quantum
fluctuations composing the part of the Heisenberg uncertainty that was given up in order that a
given structure of matter be brought forth from the vacuum. But as we already stated, some
structures must be composite while others are elemental, i.e., these structures may be evoked
from the vacuum by only supplying the necessary quantity of undifferentiated energy, e.g., kinetic
energy of accelerator driven particles, laser light energy penetrating an atomic or nuclear
electromagnetic field. We may distinguish here two fundamental types of processed data:
information and exformation, c.f.,
au=

Translation) or Spuere die Welt: Die Wissenschaft des Bewusstseins (German Translation)

There are other structures without doubt supported by interaction with fluctuations of the quantum
vacuum once they come into being by other agencies, which cannot be brought into being via
simple stimulation of the vacuum, i.e., supplying energy to preexistent vacuum modes, but which
may be brought into being via what we might conveniently term nonsimple stimulation of the
vacuum. So-called nonsimple stimulation of the vacuum necessitates the creation of altogether
new modes of the vacuums fluctuation that requires the founding of altogether new degrees of
freedom for the vacuums motion. The Schrodinger equation of motion on the other hand may
describe only those motions of the vacuum that depend upon preexistent vacuum modes or degrees
of the vacuums freedom (of movement). Nonsimple stimulation of the vacuum necessitates the
creation of entropy, constitutes an irreversible process and the structures resulting constitute a
certain quantity of information. A question that Sheldrake might have in this connection is: does
the relation between information and entropy content remain constant when the same structures
are created again and again through the same pattern of nonsimple stimulation of the vacuum? If
not, then this might be connected with the fundamental irreversible nature of nonsimple
stimulation of the quantum vacuum. What we have here is the physical analogy for the
mechanical automaticity of subconscious processes in relation to the irreversible emergence of
new and unanticipated/non-prefigured structures within the conscious mind.

This is why we say that conscious thought and freely willed action have the effect of the free
conscious agent performing metaphysical work, i.e., conscious human thought and free agency
enlarges being through its action.

Is there some fundamental, that is, physically based limit upon the fidelity of transmission of data.
Is the encoding of data as information a means of transmitting this data analogous to the way the
power company avoids electrical energy losses to Joule heating of transmission lines by boosting
the voltage of the transmitted power up to high tension levels, i.e., 100,000 Volts or more?
Since some mistakes in transmission of genetic information prove to be non-deleterious or even
beneficial to successive generations of organisms, some of the loss of fidelity of information
transmitted genetically cannot be so simply interpreted in terms of increases in the information
system entropy.

It is alleged that on account of the newly discovered acceleration of the rate of cosmological
expansion, the universe must be at least twice the size of the observable universe, which resolves
the paradox of astronomers observations of stars seemingly older than the universe (in the
heretofore understood case of a uniformly expanding universe).

dv/dr < 0 where r

< 0 and dr/dt < 0 and so a
cosmological
for a photon traveling sunward is Hc.
This is a component of acceleration over and above that due to classical gravitation. This is
precisely the anomalous component of sunward acceleration of the Pioneer 10 and 11 spacecrafts,
which has been heretofore unexplained by present day physical science. The value of the
Hubble constant may now be precisely determined and perhaps in turn also the average mass
density of the Universe. The outward recessional velocity of space away from the observer
decreases as a photon propagates towards the observer, indicating that the photon appears to be
accelerating along its direction of travel toward the observer. If this acceleration of the photon is
not taken into account, this acceleration shall be falsely attributed to the photons point of origin.

The paradox of the proper interpretation of the energy shift of a photon that is reflected between
two gravitational potentials was finally solved after about 10 years of thinking off and on upon the
problem. There is another associated paradox of how accumulated time dilation affects the
spacetime interval connecting two gravitational potentials that are relatively static in three
dimensions, but which are progressively separating by virtue of occupying points of spacetime
with differential rates of local cosmological expansion.

The abstraction that underlies the process of thought is itself an irreversible process or action.
Abstraction from any individual consciousness to form a description (of a structure) that shall

consciousness that makes it what it is distinct from all other consciousnesses.

My consciousness then is not a mere example of consciousness as such rather, consciousness as
such is itself an abstract notion conventionally agreed upon by every person (

who at the same
time agrees to disavow solipsism). The differences between the consciousnesses of individual
persons are not abstract, but substantial and therefore these individual differences in consciousness
cannot ever become part of a theory of consciousness,
June 2011
except within the mind of a super- or
transcendental consciousness who serves as the ground of being for consciousness as such.

A theoretical explanation of consciousness as such shall not succeed in providing an existence
proof for any given individual consciousness. Each individuals consciousness exists because
it is a continuation from earlier moments of that consciousness existence and not because of any
instantaneous integrity that that consciousness might at any moment possess.
June 2011
This points
up the eternal preexistence of individual consciousnesses qua substances or at least of their
individualized grounds. One possible nave-seeming solution to the riddle of the eternal
distinctness of invidual consciousnesses is to suppose that ones self-consciousness is not the
consciousness of ones own self, but is a phenomenon of Gods experiencing of limitation through
ones individual human form and human context. This interpretation is consistent with the
assertion in the Book of Ecclesiastes that

Temporality may be a necessity for any being not possessing a complete description, i.e. that does
not possess an instantaneous determinate state. The temporal extension of consciousness is not
merely owing to the impinging upon consciousness of an external world, but consciousness
possesses its own unique temporality that is integral to itself.

The cancellation between immense positive bosonic energies with equally immense negative
fermionic energies within the quantum vacuum points to the existence of a fine tuning mechanism
and in turn to a control system governing this mechanism. The ratio of fermionic to bosonic
energy densities within the vacuum corresponds to the relative predominance of piloted vs.
automatic control of the quantum vacuums fluctuation matrix, which directly figures in the
magnitude of time dilation within gravitational fields. When the piloting component of the
control system of the quantum vacuum is reduced to nil as in the case of a black hole, time dilation
and entropy are maximal and all internal connectivity within the 3-dimensional component of the
vacuum is thermalized, while the 4-component is reduced to 0.


Continuity of the self is not an abstract feature of the self and so cannot be duplicated so much for
Kurzweils notion of downloading of a human consciousness. What constitutes the continuity of
the self is the context for all that actually or potentially takes place within it. Abstraction by its
very definition necessarily involves disconnecting what is to be described from its original,
embedding context. And it is context that distinguishes one consciousness from another, not
something that may be abstracted from some context. Clearly abstracting from the context of
another persons identity shall not permit me to develop a complete description of my own
individual being. Moreover, abstracting from the context of my individual self cuts that self off
from that which gives this self ultimate meaning and significance as a self or as such. Because
consciousness lies at the very foundation of thought, which is in essence abstraction or the activity
of abstracting, it follows that consciousness lies just out of reach of the most advanced system of
abstract descriptions of which a superhuman intelligence might be capable. Thought then
originates just on the other side of this interface separating the realms of the abstract and the
concrete or perhaps more aptly, thought originates just on this side of the interface between
existence and being. Again, existence is being in context. The question arises as to whether
once each conscious entity is plucked from the context of eachs respective existence, one arrives
at the same or different beings?


The question is whether quantum probabilities are merely abstract descriptions for a more concrete
process in which the wavefunction does not constitute the complete description of the system
(hidden variables theories) or whether in fact complete descriptions implying the existence of
parallel or alternate quantum universes.


The Pioneer spacecraft observed acceleration discrepancies are easily enough explained by a

See Alsing, Evans and Nandi for further discussion: the deflection of particles predicted general
relativity as due to curvature of spacetime can be alternately expressed in terms of the refraction of
light due to a shift of a spin particles quantum mechanical phase. The deflections of spin 1
particles, i.e., light can also be give such a curved quantum phase explanation, but only to lowest
order in h. Shifts in the phase of the quantum mechanical wavefunction may of course be
alternately expressed in terms shifts in the probability current densities of creation and annihilation
of virtual fermions and bosons in the quantum vacuum.

Spacetime curvature should be more properly understood as wavenumber-frequency curvature.
If spacetime is understood in this manner, then it is easy to see that changes in the distribution of
fluctuation momentum-energy (in terms of the correlations of fluctuations in momentum-energy)
must, according to a Bayesian probability analysis, must be associated with corresponding
changes in the distribution of probabilities of positions and times of test particle observations (or of
the potential for observations of test particles at various places and times). (Bayesian
probability replaces the old absolute probabilities with conditional ones. )

The unreasonable effectiveness of Mans language, i.e., metaphorical thought in permitting
construction of useful descriptions of the world are due to the worlds being mythically and
magically structured (similar to a dream). What is lost in intersubjective transmission of thought
is only that pertaining to the subjective aspects of thought and this might be believed to be an
unsurprising and tautologous assertion, but may instead reveal an astounding coincidence in the
way the world is structured as intersubjective realm of distinct subjectivities. This astounding
coincidence might be in essence similar to Wigners noted coincidence of Nature with Mans
mathematical descriptions of her.


Material reality exists only potentially until rendered actual by observation. But there is no
consensus on the basic question of what counts as the crucial measurement or observation. In one
interpretation, associated with, for instance, Von Neumann, Wigner, and Stapp, consciousness is
crucial. In the "Copenhagen interpretation", associated originally with Bohr, measurement and the
creation of a record by an unconscious device is sufficient. - Mait Edey, Online Bulletin of
Science Within Consciousness (1996).
Conscious observation may be understood as active registration of a new fact of Being; the
creation of a record (in Bohrs above sense) as merely potential registration of some such new
fact). Potential registration is of consequence for the wavefunction only if the record is
created through an irreversible process, i.e., it cannot be later arranged that the event in question
never happened. There may be a chronology protection issue for the theory of quantum
measurement here.

Can any aspects of irreversibility, say the unique aspects marking the original emergence of a
given insight be somehow passed to others, perhaps even across many generations? In other
words, do concepts come down to us tagged on account of their continued entanglement with the
sociocultural context in which they first appeared? Is part of the context of meaning, which
remains not fully translatable, the very continuity of the underlying context of the successive and
myriad applications of a notion or concept? This notion is along the lines of Sheldrakes
theories of morphic resonance and formative causation.

Teleportation in a non-inertial frame, a paper by Paul M. Alsing and David McMahon

Abstract: While Lorentz transformations cannot change the overall quantum entanglement of a
bipartite state[3, 4], they can change which properties of the local systems are entangled. In
particular, Gingrich and Adami[5] showed that under a Lorentz transformation the initial
entanglement of just the spin degrees of freedom of two spin half particles can be transferred into
an entanglement between both the spin and momentum degrees of freedom. Physically this means
that detectors, which respond only to spin degrees of freedom, will see a reduction of entanglement
when they are moving at large uniform velocity. In so far as teleportation fidelity is an
operational measure of quantum entanglement, our results suggest that quantum entanglement
may not be preserved in non-inertial frames. (End abstract)



The sustainment of quantum entanglement over a geodesic of non-negligibly curved spacetime
would permit superluminal transmission of information concerning the spacetime structure of the
elsewhere region of the instantaneous Minkowski light cone. On the cellular automata theory
of spacetime, the degree of quantum entanglement has merely in this case outstripped the
computational capacity of the quantum vacuum, necessitating decoherence, i.e., forgetting by the
quantum vacuum of some of its fluctuation-correlation information, leading to irreversibility of
geodetic motion (and more generally of gravitational action). Herein lies the relationship
between the Rindler horizon (of a particle moving in a non-inertial frame) and
Hawking-Bekenstein entropy, which is a generalization of the concept of black hole entropy.

Is there some way of making an identification of open strings with bosons and closed strings with
fermion-antifermion pairs, say in terms of Feynmann diagrams for vacuum creation-annihilation
processes? Is there a simple finger exercise performed with a fermion-antifermion pair that
suffices to illustrate the fact of the fermions antisymmetry? Place the left index finger pointing
up, right index finger pointing down, corresponding to a fermion at x
1
and antifermion at x
2
. If
the positions of the fermion and antifermion are exchanged once, one now has spin 1/2 on the left
and spin +1/2 on the right. Then by rotating each particle in place by 180 degrees, one now has
once again a spin +1/2 particle on the left and a spin 1/2 particle on the right. This is equivalent
to multiplying the wavefunction for the fermion-antifermion system by a minus sign, which is to
say that -(x
2
, x
1
) = (x
1
, x
2
). The mystery is that this is true in general, that is, whenever two
fermions exchange position the wavefunction of the system containing the particles changes sign.
In the case of the exchange of positions of a fermion and antifermion, it was obvious that a torsion
being introduced corresponding to flipping the spins of each particle 180 degrees, say using an
applied magnetic field. But in the case of the exchange of identical particles of identical spin,
there intuitively seems no basis for supposing that torsion is introduced by this operation.

^^Note that two masses moving at quite near the speed of light in opposite 3-spatial directions, i.e.,
along trajectories 180 degrees apart in 3-space are actually moving on trajectories only 90 degrees
apart within (3 + 1) spacetime. Similarly, two fermions moving near the speed of light on
trajectories 360 degrees apart in 3-space, i.e., along the same trajectory within 3-space may be
described as moving along opposite trajectories in (3 + 1) spacetime. This is no doubt related to
the fact that one must rotate a fermion 720 degrees in 3-space before the fermion is oriented in (3 +
1) spacetime as originally, that is, prior to being rotated. There may be a geometric argument for
why there are no massless fermions.

Is it possible that fermions are spin because they are spin 1 particles in a higher space and the
spin is just the component of the higher dimensional spin that projects into instantaneous
3-space? This brings up the question: cosh
-1
[1/2] = ? (Spacetime is described most elegantly in
terms of hyperbolic functions) Of course, one cannot directly combine a single spin particle
with a particle of integral spin, but only pairs of half integral spin particles, i.e., the components of
spin from the unseen higher dimension mutually cancel between the two spin particles. (Note:
the stronger is the bosonic coupling between virtual fermion-antifermions the more perfectly may
the pair of particles be considered to be and effectively single, spin-0 particle and the more
perfectly do mutually cancel the respective timelike components of spin of the particles forming
the fermion-antifermion pair.)

Changing the sign on a fermions charge, e.g., from e
-
to e
+
has the same effect as reversing the
signs of the electric and magnetic fields surrounding the fermion. Looking to the Minkowski
diagram, we see that such a sign change causes a 180-degree rotation of the fermion in spacetime
(its now an antiparticle of its former self and can now be described as traveling backward in
time). Rotating the particle 180 degrees in 3-space results in a mere 90-degree rotation of the
particle in Minkowski spacetime.

The distinction between translation, rotation, vibration within a coordinate system and similar
movement on the part of the coordinate system itself blurs once the scale of spacetime and
momentum-energy approaches that where the Heisenberg uncertainties of all four observables, x,
t, p, E has been reached. The directions of the time and space axes may always be determined
locally from the 4-angular momentum tensor density, J
uv
.

Because of the internal symmetry of spin, angular momentum must be a more fundamental
physical quantity than is translation.

Because of the spin (and quantum statistics) basis of gravity (and acceleration) and the intimate
connection of polarization and magnetization to spin (and 4-angular momentum), we expect
quantum gravity theory to invoke gravitomagnetism, e.g., acceleration implies a rotation (itself an
acceleration) of 4-angular momentum current probability density gradients. The gradient is
formed from spacelike and timelike (3 + 1) gradients (in the case of spherically symmetric fields).
The existence of local spacelike gradients generally implies (via relativity) both local and
global/cosmological timelike (and spacelike) gradients. This means relativity implies not only
an expanding universe, but also either a changing gravitational constant (which can be ruled out
for other reasons) or a cosmological acceleration field, one intimately connected with gravitation.

Quantum entanglement distinguishes identical particles, historically and irreversibly (is this where
entropy (and information) creeps into purely formally describable processes?). Although a
particle may appear to accelerate in a straight line in 3-space, its actual trajectory in (3 + 1)
spacetime must be curved.

Hypothesis: accelerated motion is only on a curved trajectory in (3 + 1) spacetime. Motion along
a curved trajectory implies an angular momentum vector. In what direction does ~L
uv
point
during rectilinear acceleration? ~L
uv
points orthogonally to the x-t plane in the case of
2-dimensional spacetime. It doesnt matter what variable name we choose to call this 3
rd

dimensional axis, e.g., y, z, etc. However, in the case of 4 dimensional spacetime, we must
decide whether this vector is to point in either the y or z or perhaps w direction; we must
have a rule by which this direction for ~L
uv
is determined. In the case of 3-dimensional
Euclidean space and Galilean Relativity Theory, it is easy to determine what direction the angular
momentum vector of say, an orbiting planet points relative to an observer in translational motion
relative to the primary of the orbiting body. It would be nice if u and v of ~L
uv
didnt have to
point in a direction orthogonal to ~u and ~v because of the existence of a permutational symmetry
of (3 +1) spacetime. In this way understanding acceleration in (3 + 1) spacetime in terms of
4-angular momentum would not force us to invoke, e.g., (4 + 1) spacetime. This is undoubtedly
a subject for future literature search on relativistic angular momentum.

Lets do a short survey on the points of contact between General Relativity and Quantum
Mechanics.

1) spin-1/2 particles are implied both by special relativity and quantum mechanics

2) Quantum mechanics is founded upon an Hamiltonian formulation of Newtonian mechanics.
General Relativity can be equivalently expressed in terms of a Hamiltonian formulation.

3) Causal relationships may be recast as quantum correlations of quantum fluctuations

4) Both theories predict a cosmological constant, but give vastly different predictions of the
magnitude of this constant

5) t is a mere parameter in QM, but is on an equal footing with x
i
of relativity theory

6) the creation of particles is predicted by both theories

7) particle-wave duality in QM corresponds to particle-field duality in GR

8) QM is linear while GR is nonlinear

9) Heisenberg uncertainties in time, length and mass are malleable in QM, just as the expectation
values of these quantities are malleable in GR.

10) The subjective observer has a unique role in QM, no such status is accorded the observer in GR
theory.

11) superluminal connectivity is predicted by QM, but not by GR.

12) probabilities have ontological status in QM, but only epistemological status in GR.

The above list of course, can be expanded a great deal with further thinking upon it.

The historicity of quantum entanglement which breaks the unknown symmetry responsible for the
indistinguishability of particles is what invokes the action of unique substance upon (but not
within) the intersubjective world of public spacetime. The problem of the collapse of the
wavefunction is, Wittgenstein would say, a pseudoproblem the solution to which lies in the
proper reformulation of the original problem, i.e., what is the underlying physical basis of the
phenomenon of wavefunction collapse? But if we are attempting to invoke incompatible sense of
the word, physical within a single formulation of either the question (or the answer)
corresponding to this peculiar phenomenon, then we are doomed to failure from the start, that is,
we are indulging in an equivocation of sense, which can never lead to anything like an answer but
only to confusion. And this equivocation of sense here is simply this: physical is defined as 1)
public, i.e., intersubjective and 2) concrete, i.e., substantial. In other words, we are trying to
come up with an answer that is simultaneously formal and substantive, i.e., causal, c.f., Bohm
(1951) on why causality cannot be strictly analyzed in terms of abstract relationships, (the
quantum correlations of spacelike separated fluctuations are needed to give an otherwise empty
and formal causality its concreteness (and causal efficacy as action). Does the fact that
true causality cannot be captured by mere abstract relationships, i.e., cannot be formalizable point
to the role of free agency in causal interactions?

Multiple persons may of course collaborate in the construction of public spacetime but never in a
way that can ever be exhibited as data subject to a complete intersubjective description, e.g.,
publicly accessible state vector or wavefunction. The telepathy and telekinesis (collective
consciousness and agency) of the intersubjective networking of conscious free agents must forever
lie submerged below the ground of explicit being or manifestation. Leibniz principle of the
identity of indiscernibles is violated by the fact of indiscernible identities occupying distinct
empirical universes though still being able to cooperate across these universes, which manifests
itself in the phenomena of quantum entanglement that breaks the symmetry of abstract quantum
particle identity, e.g., two quantum entangled electrons are distinct from any other pair of
otherwise identical electrons, c.f., Quantum Non-Locality and Relativity, Maudlin. Also see
Searle (1980) on why any formal set of relationships may capture only simulation in its description
and not actual causal efficacy (the efficacy of the causal structure to integrate outside influences
into the causal structure).

It is beginning to appear that any causal efficacy nature possesses must be owing to the unique
action from outside any possible system, of substances that are essentially subjective, i.e., not
intersubjective. The subjective substance in its action may inform the intersubjective world,
e.g., through quantum entanglement, but this information is not publicly accessible (or if so, not
reexpressible in a way that is publicly expressible, or if so, not in a reproducible manner). The
quantum entanglement effects cannot be understood except in terms of statistical averages
(implying experimental reproducibility involving a plurality of persons, that is, a public).
The collaborative effort of subjectivities in sustaining (and creating?) the intersubjective world
remains always embedded and submerged within the ground of public spacetime and never
manifest within it (or so it seems).

Of course, Karmic action is temporally multileveled in nature. This is Karmas way of giving at
every opportunity the unfortunate straying soul enough of a breather to take stock and change the
path he is on, or to just test how numb the complacency seeming to have once again escaped justice
shall make the poor souls conscience prior to Karmic chastisement on the next larger temporal
scale of human existence.

Does consciousness represent the most highly distributed manner of storing information?

Does every moment of temporality participate in the eternal now though without actually being a
part of this eternal now (except possibly in certain sufficiently emotionally charged turns of human
events)?

It is doubtful whether any human behavior is not instinctual. This might seem to mean that
weve effectively undermined the distinction between instinctual and non-instinctual behavior
upon which the meaning of the assertion of universal instinctual nature of human behavior
presumably must rest. But the Archimedean point of reference granted us by consciousness
enables us to (among other important things) make meaningful categorical assertions, assertions
that may be formally self-contradictory on account of the assertions seeming undermining of a
categorical distinction grounding the meaningfulness of that assertion.

There are certain people who when told what someone else has experienced are never at a loss to
say oh, that is like when I did x or that is just like when x happened. Does this mean that in
some important sense, no matter what new things we learn people like the above already in essence
know them?

It is easy to visualize that necessity of timelike angular momentum being associated with the
appearance of 3-angular momentum, c.f., The Mysterious Flow (Davies Scientific American
Article). Just imagine 3-space being represented as a 2-surface containing an planet with orbiting
satellite. The third spatial dimension models the time dimension. Instead of a retracing
elliptical orbit (ignoring any possible general relativity effects for the moment), the orbit appears
in 2 + 1 spacetime as a right or left-handed corkscrew (as the case may be). If one looks at the
center of the corkscrew tracing of the orbit edge on from any direction around the corkscrew axis,
one would observer a looping of the satellite in 2 + 1 spacetime in the x-t plane (if one was
looking perpendicularly to this plane), a looping of the satellite in the y-t spacetime plane
(looking perpendicularly to this plane), looping in the z-t plane or admixtures of components of
looping in two or three of these spacetime planes. This looping of the satellite about its
primary in each of these spacetime planes constitutes, of course and angular momentum
perpendicular to the particular spacetime planes. In this way we see that a purely spatial angular
momentum when one is observing the satellite orbit while at rest relative to the primary becomes
an admixture of spacelike and timelike components of angular momentum when one is observing
the orbit while in states of uniform motion relative to the satellites orbital axis of other than rest.
Approaching an orbiting body across a gravitational potential gradient must mean traveling
relative to the orbiting body nonuniformly in time, which necessarily endows the body with an
apparent timelike component of angular momentum. There is reason to believe that the converse
of this is true: a 4-angular momentum gradient must exhibit gravitation-like effects upon matter
present in this gradient.

The degree of correlation of the spin components of the spontaneously decayed composite
spin-0 particle determines the orientation of the spin-0 angular momentum vector in a space akin to
but not identical to spacetime. This has some bearing on the question of how the order of a
matrix of spin-0 particles (originally in the form of the mutual alignment of these particles vial
nonlocal quantum correlation of the particles) gets encoded into the quantum correlations
engendered in matrix of exchanged spin-1 bosons. The fact of acceleration of fermions
producing bosonic radiation is somehow importantly related to this fact.

As on increases ones velocity relative to the orbiting satellite, the spacetime corkscrew begins to
unwind along the proper time axis. This is as though the relative scaling of the time and 4d
hyperspatial axis is changing so that the ratio dt/dt shrinking with acceleration. The conserved
4-angular momentum no longer points parallel to the proper time axis, but develops components
perpendicular to the proper time axis, i.e., pointing outside of the corkscrew. Also, the quantum
correlation of the spin-1/2 components of the virtual fermion-antifermion energy fluctuations of
the local vacuum decreases with acceleration, leading to the generation of entropy manifesting
itself in the form of Davies-Unruh radiation. The holographic encoding of a three-dimensional
space is breaking down with a concomitant production of vacuum entropy. Davies-Unruh
radiation that results from acceleration is bosonic in nature and is general relativistically
equivalent to Hawking radiation that obtains in the case of gravitation. How is Davies-Unruh
bosonic (vacuum) radiation, which results from acceleration, related to the production of
electromagnetic radiation by an accelerated electrical charge? Is the ratio of the density of
quantum vacuum energy to the energy density of the cosmological constant involved here? The
black hole surface represents the maximum extraction of the holographically encoded information
about the (3 + 1) structure of a local spacetime (local though extending to infinity, if all of the
encoded information is quantum nonlocal), which has now been converted into the entropy of a
black holes 2-dimensional surface. The loss of the holographically encoded information is
intimately related to the decoherence of wavefunctions by gravity, as well as to the increase in the
entropy of a, e.g., collapsing spherical dust clouds generalized event horizon (GEH). What
is the generalization of the Bekenstein black hole entropy formula, which applies to generalized
event horizons? What ever this formula turns out to be, is shall be consistent with the
relationship of the Hawking and Davies-Unruh radiation formulas. In this way, the GEH
formula shall be an expression of Einsteins Equivalence Principle (EP). The above discussion
is getting at the new relationships of spin (required by special relativity), quantum statistics,
4-angular momentum (required by special relativity), quantum correlation (of antiparticles
(required by special relativity), nonlocality, holographic information, Shannon information,
Bekenstein entropy, gravitational decoherence (required by any theory of quantum gravity) within
the context of some new, Sakharov-induced-gravity, already unified quantum gravity theory. It
might be wise to also revisit the question of the relationship of vacuum polarization/magnetization
and the notion of scalar-vector (spinorial) structure of the quantum vacuum.

Observing the orbit of the satellite edge-on and keeping pace with the satellites motion, one sees
only the satellite moving back and forth along a single axis. The rotation of the satellite is only
glimpsed when one views its orbit from an angle other than edge-on, of course. So whether one
observes pure vibration, pure rotation or admixtures of these two components of cyclical motion
depends entirely upon the spatial perspective of the observer. If one is at some distance from the
satellites orbit and in motion relative to the plane of the satellites orbit and along an axis parallel
to its rotational axis, then the observer sees the satellite describe a corkscrew motion in his field of
view. What does the observer witness if he is in purely timelike relative motion with respect to
the orbiting satellite, say in the case of the observer and the orbiting body occupying different
points in a gravitational potential? To simplify the question, what would the observer see in this
case if he and the satellite were merely positioned at points at which the local rates of the passage
of time differ? (To ignore complex general relativity effects)

How do we define the altered angular momentum vector of the orbit if this vector must be
displaced by a minimum angle from the translation axis (this is the simple case where the orbit of
the satellite is translated in the direction of the 3-angular momentum vector) (What about the case
where the plane of the orbit is accelerated in the direction of the 4-angular momentum vector?)
Here imagine placing a small plane onto a small segment of the coil of the satellites trajectory
such that the unit vector of this plane is perpendicular to the segment tangent to this plane; there is
of course a degree of freedom remaining: the tiny unit vector plane is free to rotate about the coil
segment to which it is tangent. There must be another constraint added here. The most natural
choice for this additional constraint is the requirement that the plane unit vector possess minimal
angular displacement with respect to either the translational axis or the orbits instantaneous
3-angular momentum (or 4-angular momentum) vector. Note that swiveling the unit vector plane
around the segment of the coil (of the orbital trajectory) doesnt appear to contribute any change to
the orientation of the 4-angular momentum vector of the bodys orbit (at least treating the vector as
an abstract object in an abstract presentational space doesnt do this). (The question remains
whether degrees of freedom are always to be understood as purely abstract quantities the real
physical effects of quantum counterfactuality seem to suggest that sometimes degrees of freedom
cannot be adequately taken into account when treated as mere abstractions.) Are
counterfactual worlds (so-called quantum alternate universes) necessarily classical physical in
nature, or could they be full-blooded worlds just as our own presumably is?

There is a question whether the as yet unobserved virtual bosonic superpartners of supersymmetry
theory are not hidden within the immense negative binding energy of the quantum vacuum
constituted by unobserved virtual fermionic superpartners, leading to a massive configuration
potential energy that must be overcome by particle accelerators of the perhaps distant future when
these superpartners are hopefully someday discovered.

Consciousness must be viewed as an open system, but only in the specific sense of an infinite,
self-referential system. The concept of self-referentiality of an infinite, open system may force
us to invent new definitions of self and identity to accommodate this concept.

Discuss how good artists are able to circumvent the El Greco Paradox, but only at the cost (for
philosophers, not art lovers) of engendering a still greater paradox, what might be termed the
Circumvented El Greco Paradox Paradox. The El Greco Paradox derives its name from the
fact that El Greco was famous for his painting of human figures and animals with twisted and
gnarled bodies and limbs and that it was commonly said during the height of El Grecos fame that
he drew the figures in this manner because it was the way El Greco actually visually perceived
them. The paradox is still not apparent here at this point (except perhaps to a philosopher). If
El Greco was attempting to draw what he actually perceived, then he would have to draw the
figures normally so that his peculiar manner of perceiving forms would distort the normally
proportioned figures in just the same manner that his peculiar manner of perception distorts actual
normally proportioned figures, i.e., people and animals. But then if El Greco had done this, the
figures he drew would not have had their characteristic distorted form! So the artist does not get
us to see the world like he sees the world by merely drawing for us what he sees. Something far
more mysterious must be going on when the artist manages to convey to us his unique manner of
visual processing of the data coming into his optic nerves. That is the real paradox that artists
can circumvent the so-called El Greco paradox when they paint. The circumventing of the El
Greco Paradox is importantly related to the failure of instantaneous parallel inputs to the brain to
simulate the effects of serial inputting of data to the brain. This is on account of memory the
person has of the different selves he or she possessed at different times (and places), permitting
comparisons of experiences that are necessarily time specific. The representational artist has
access to his differing modes of visually processing his or her surroundings, which necessarily
occurs at distinct subjective moments for the artist. This is why the frequency and time
domains are not fully equivalent, at any rate (no pun intended) where the brains signal processing
capabilities are concerned. The fact of the brain being an integrated system nonetheless
embedded in an open-ended though integrated ground (of being) undoubtedly plays an important
role in this. Perhaps this equivalence between time and frequency holds only for cases of purely
resonant (closed) systems in which the quantum correlations of the resonant fluctuations possess
perfect order, i.e., 0 entropy.

Discuss how the myriad distinct deductive routes to the same approximate description of system
dynamic behavior points up the kinship between the processes of 1) phenomenal manifestation of
grounds deep structure (see Chomsky) and 2) the process of intuitive thought, i.e., creative
intelligence.

Extremiocrity as opposed to mediocrity: that which I do not do badly, I do exceedingly well.

The ontological as opposed to merely epistemological nature of the Heisenberg Uncertainty
Principle implies that the quantum mechanical wavefunction cannot constitute merely a
description of the quantum system to which its wavefunction corresponds, but that the
wavefunction must be in some sense physically real, e.g., electromagnetic, nuclear fields, etc.
The wavefunction then is not merely intersubjective in nature, but must possess a necessary
observer-dependent, that is, subjective component. The effect of my act of observation upon a
quantum mechanical system does not then alter the system state probabilities (as indicated by the
system wavefunction) only through the purely physical interaction of my body and measurement
instruments with the physical embodiment of the system the wavefunction describes. If this
were indeed the case, then myself as observer and the system upon which I am performing an
observation would merely become a composite system, itself residing in a pure quantum state as a
result of my physical interaction with the system. The effect of conscious, freely chosen
observation upon a quantum system must include so-called nonlocal observer/experimenter
effects.

^^If the Freudian view that dreams are just the acting out of the wish fulfillment fantasies of the id,
then one would not expect, for example, attractive persons of opposite sex with which one
populates ones sexual fantasy dreams to gradually age along with the dreamer. The dreamer
him or herself does not remain eternally young in his or her dreams, but the dream image of the
self-ages more or less in step with the aging of the real person, the dreamer. The only difference
is that the aging of the dream image self is what might be termed graceful or idealized aging, e.g.,
one becomes progressively more aged, but also more well preserved. The notion here is that the
individual person does not desire deep down anything like eternal youth, just that he remain
youthful at every step in the aging process. This is because people secretly possess a desire for
peer recognition of the length of their stay on Earth and the appearance of physical aging, even if
only of the idealized kind, is the best and most direct way of signaling ones status to others.
All of this is to say that the pleasure principle does not in fact run rampant in dreams, but the reality
principle continues to operate, but in a different way. Instead of paying and maintaining heed to
the necessities of outer life one pays heed to those of the inner life, the life of ones normally closed
off psychological being. The aging of the id as manifest in the gradual appearance of aging in
the dream image self suggests that the id is always tempered by the reality principle and moreover,
that the tripartite structure of the psyche, id, ego, superego runs deeper in the self that otherwise
suggested by Freudian psychological theory.


As remarked elsewhere, there is a swapping of the roles of the literal and the metaphorical that
underlies the essential nature of dreaming. One might say correctly that dreams are creations of
the subconscious mind that are driven by the desire for wish fulfillment. However, what is truly
desired might most aptly be termed transcendence within immanence. Dreaming is a
psychological activity in which the individual is seeking participation in the quintessential forms
of an earthbound and distinctly human experience. It is not for nothing that we have devised and
inherited the myth of Mans original formation from cosmic dust, i.e., degenerated sublime
order. Human, i.e., humus-man is a more appropriate term for Mans essential being than
most are able to realize. It is well known that dreaming occurs in the more or less comlete
absence of the higher brain functions, those of the forebrain, which constitute a relatively recent
innovation in the evolution of the primate brain. The phenomenon of dreaming perhaps points up
the inadvertent activation of a redundant cache of memory traces laid down when transcribed into
the more primitive parts of the brain of the limbic system from the cerebral cortex, where they
were at first encoded as self-conscious sense-perceptions.


Of course, experiences possible in youth become less so with time, and with more time, no longer
possible, but so are many experiences open to the older individual that are barred from youth who
cannot even imagine such experiences. On the other hand, age retains along with itself the
memory of youth.


The loss of mutual orthogonality of the component eigenfunctions of a pure state wavefunction is
anticipated in sufficiently strong gravitational fields. Penroses one-graviton limit for
wavefunction environmental decoherence may be alternately justified in terms of a gedanken
experiment that invokes EPR nonlocality of quantum correlated particles-antiparticle decay
products mutually separating over extended, curved spacetime. The wavefunction describing
the rapidly mutually separating fermion-antifermion components of a spontaneously decayed
spin-0 composite particle simply must progressively decohere with increasing distinctiveness of
the embedding spacetime metric of each spin-1/2 component, if violation of special relativitys
ban on superluminal transmission of information is to be upheld. Whether the loss of mutual
orthogonality and the concomitant increase in quantum mechanical thermodynamic entropy
becomes encoded in the loss of nonlocal correlation of the component eigenfunctions is here an
important question. Progressive decoupling of embedding quantum fluctuations of
momentum-energy comprising the corresponding spacetime metrics of the component particles as
they separate over a curved spacetime interval is what is perhaps what is to be expected here.


The complementary relationship of resonance and coherence may be understood in terms of a pure
state wavefunction that is constituted by the product of the individual eigenfunctions
corresponding to each of the possible/available eigenstates capable of being occupied by a given
quantum mechanical system. Progressive mutual entangling of the component eigenstates leads
to progressive inaccuracy of the pure state wavefunction as complete description of the quantum
system. The off-diagonal terms of the density matrix description of the system emerge and grow
as the pure state wavefunction description becomes progressively less accurate as a system
description. This shift of the system description from a pure state wavefunction to a statistically
mixed state wavefunction, i.e., density matrix must be correlated with the increase in the system
entropy. The decay of quantum resonance and concomitant increase in quantum entanglement
of system internal components is related to the phenomenon of environmental quantum
decoherence.



The velocity of light is independent of the state of motion of the observer and the motion of light
defines the structure of spacetime, which itself therefore possess an observer-independent
structure. This is why, for example, no visualizable arrangement of points, e.g., stars in space
constitutes an objective spatial arrangement. The potential for all possible states of motion is
implied by the notion of spacetime interval or more generally spacetime structure.

Indeterminacy in the system insures that any laws of motion shall constitute merely
descriptions of the systems behavior rather than specify the governing or control of the
system. Control of the system must always be from outside the system and so the
systems behavior cannot be fully explicable by analysis the controlling agent must
always be taken into account. Similar statements may be made concerning the meaning
of the systems behavior, i.e., the system must be embedded within a context that cannot
be entirely included within the system. In other words, contact with and influence on the
system from outside is also required for the system to possess intentionality. Still more,
no system may possess any action unless the system provokes effects outside itself. The
action of the system is a necessary part of the systems intentionality. Causality that is
deterministic isnt causality at all, in other words, that is, the relationship of one abstract
entity to another doesnt constitute a concrete and causal interaction, nor does it in any way
invoke genuine temporality (as opposed to merely abstract, spatialized time, c.f., Matter
and Memory). Inertia is a manifestation of the incompleteness of all possible formal
descriptions of the systems law of motion, which differentiates the systems behavior
from that of a mere simulation. The necessity of approximate descriptions of system
behavior is epistemological rather than ontological in nature. System resonance and
system coherence are orthogonal system behaviors. However, the underlying causal
structure of the systems ground does not permit a complete 90-degree rotation of the
systems behavior from resonant to coherent. This points up a problem with general
relativity, which predicts the existence of black holes as true singularities in spacetime.
Obviously, the Einstein field equations must break down for sufficiently intense
gravitational fields and accelerations so that a black hole must be viewed as a kind of
asymptote of the theory and not a prediction of possible physically real behavior of
matter and energy. This is reminiscent of Bohms statement that particle positions and
velocities cannot replace particle momenta and energies. The differential equations of
particle motion are complete descriptions of the particle kinematics. But the
corresponding integral equations of motion are degenerate in the integration constant and
point to, on the contrary, the dynamics of the particle motion. The integration constant
comprises the initial and boundary conditions of the system and the sensitivity to initial
conditions of the system is such that the quantum uncertainties are potentially larger than
differences in the boundary conditions of the sometimes highly nonlinear system of the
spacetime metric. It seems likely that the peculiar quantum nonlocal coupling of vacuum
momentum-energy fluctuations must be responsible not only for the stability of matter
(i.e., appropriate buffeting of innermost electrons by fluctuations in vacuum energy,
preventing the ultraviolet catastrophe of atomic structure collapse), but for the very
stability of the spacetime metric itself as the ever-present backdrop for the existence of
stable matter-energy. It is difficult not to glimpse a hand of a divine providence in the
self-organized/self-organizing nature of the nonlocally connected quantum vacuum
fluctuations underpinning spacetime.

The fact of the integral nature of experienced or subjective temporality implies that there
can be no one-to-one correspondence between the events of subjective and intersubjective
time, and also perhaps suggests the holistic structure of the intersubjective realm as a
collaborative effort of diverse subjectivities (the structure and dynamics of the
intersubjective being irreducible to the sum of the actions of the subjectivities contributing
to it).

The contamination of ground invokes changes in the system supported by the ground,
which are both referenced by the system and unreferenceable. The necessary coupling
of referenceable and unreferenceable changes in the system means that even
referenceable changes in the system cannot be fully analyzed in terms of underlying
system behavior.

The "best fit" states turn out to be the classical states. Systems collapse to classical states
because classical states are the ones that best "fit" the environment. The environment
causes the collapse of the wave just like an observer. - The New Physics, Ubiquitous

Once virtual reality technology becomes sufficiently advanced, one shall never again have the
assurance of awaking from sleep to the so-called real world. After all, hasnt
au=
Santayana
said that waking consciousness is just the dream under the control of the object? But arent
objects nothing more than intersubjectively constructed, conventionally agreed upon structures?
This is one of the basic insights of Scientology, a principle which
au=
Elron Hubbard likely
borrowed from his younger, more dynamic disciple,
au=
Werner Erhardt, who was banished by
Hubbard from Scientology on account of Hubbards understandable jealousy over Erhardts
growing following within Hubbards organization. Erhardt in turn started his own social
philosophy, EST (Erhardt Sensitivity Training). One of the fundamental principles of EST is that
reality is agreement. My Entity Theory and my hypothesis concerning the eternal
preexistence and separateness of the individual soul, which incarnates after spontaneous descent
from its transcendant form, but only after encountering a sufficiently evolved biological vessel
(advanced Hominid) possessing a brain with complex data processing dynamics with which this
soul could resonate and temporarily join to in order to experience the wonders of limitation and
intersubjective communication with other transcendant beings who have likewise hurled
themselves into the reducing valve of space, time and causality so as to escape their cosmic
loneliness. The prevalence of suicide among otherwise sane individuals perhaps can only be
sufficiently understood in light of the secretly operating influence of this repressed memory of the
aboriginal act of self-limitation. This repressed memory likewise explains the fast growing
popularity of Scientology whose mythology is a story tellers dressed up version of the
self-imposed act of self-limitation via mind-body hybridization.

Because of the open system requirements of conscious states of awareness it is unlikely that
conscious memories are stored anywhere, i.e., encoded into local spacetime. The recollecting
of memories probably requires the activation of a quantum nonlocal connection between two
moments of consciousness, i.e. two different times, present and past. In more concrete terms
this would involve the quantum entanglement of two frequency domain spectra of coherent sets of
quantum fluctuations.


Nonlocal communications between individuals (what would otherwise constitute telepathy) are
always caught up into the mix of subjective impressions and reinterpreted so as to be assigned
either to memory, imagination or perception. Somehow the nonlocal continuum providing the
potential telepathic link between individuals cannot support the highly structured and abstract data
that can be received and directly interpreted as an intelligent communication. This points up
something interesting about this nonlocal medium and/or the quantum interface between this
medium and the brains finer structure.

The entropy of the energy uncertainty has to do with the quality of the temporal change supported
by the quantum fluctuations underlying the energy uncertainty. Because information is not
defined within a closed system, information must contain a nonlocal component such that no
conservation law or continuity equation exists describing the dynamics of information. The
entropy of a perfectly ordered crystal at zero degrees Kelvin is 0, but then what is the information
content of such a crystal, and is the information content of the crystal stemming entirely from the
embedding and sustaining dynamical ground of the crystal, i.e., the quantum vacuum sustaining
the crystals existence?


As it turns out, all those creationist arguments from the astronomical improbability of chance
arrangements of genetic base pair combinations, e.g., 10
120
to 1 for a sequence specifying the DNA
of a yeast mold, etc., are correct in principle, if inaccurate by many orders of magnitude (but what
is say, 50 orders of magnitude too large when the grossly inaccurate estimate is approximately
10
120
to 1?) Evolutionists who try to counter with arguments concerning how the natural mutual
chemical affinities of Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen and Oxygen greatly cut down the pool of
non-negligible possible base pair combinations (and who invoke chance for the rest) run afoul in at
least three distinct though interestingly connected ways: 1) Shannon information 2) The nature of
the dynamics of all systems existing on time and space scales small enough to permit empirical
observation and 3) The arbitrariness of the genetic code. So-called self-organization is
another relatively new type of argument invoked, but one that is essentially self-defeating in its
implicit assumptions: self-organization presumes a relationship between order and information
(not the same thing, e.g., the entropy of a perfectly ordered crystal at 0 degrees Kelvin is 0) that
is just the opposite of what is actually observed in naturally-occurring systems. A crystal is an
example par excellence of how self-organization limits information content, by the way.
Entropy and information are not exactly inverse quantities because entropy may only be defined
for closed thermodynamic systems while information is always context-dependent, i.e., requiring
an open system for its definition and meaning. Self-organization requires a virtually infinitely
layered, latent hierarchical structure of matter (and energy) that is merely enabled by changing
environmental conditions, i.e., no information is generated, but is merely changed from one
apparently implicit to an explicitly observable form. (Pure transformation of information doesnt
require the addition of any new information to the system, in other words) Evolution of
biological systems on the self-organization paradigm of this theory doesnt explain the
information content of those systems, just their appearance from out of older forms.
Evolution presupposes the existence of a scaffolding of order that like a staircase possesses built in
ever-higher stability points, i.e., landings at which the chance driven evolving system may rest
while it awaits the next chance-driven punctuated change that shall boost the system up to the next
level. Evolution gets something for nothing by implicitly violating Leibniz principle of those
conditions sufficient for a thing are necessary at every moment to sustain that thing, i.e., that
which creates, sustains and thus by secretly invoking what might be called indifference to the
passage of time. But stability is always more dynamic than instability although the
appearances belie this fact. The stability of a system is evidence of the systems ability to
dynamically regulate itself, not to the fact of the systems having temporarily come to rest at a
given level on the scaffolding structure, which is to say, borrowing the metaphor from quantum
mechanics, every degeneracy is an accidental degeneracy. This is because time and change (if
not the mere appearance of change) are in reality synonymous. It is in unanticipated structures,
e.g., a DNA strand that is the most information rich. The most improbable inputs to the system
are the ones potentially possess the greatest quantity of inform-ation.

In our model of the underlying physical mechanism of gravitation the connection pointed up by
Penrose between the influence of gravitation and the observers consciousness upon the system
state vector (wavefunction) is simple in essence. The presence of real fermions and bosons
composing matter alter the quantum statistics of vacuum fluctuations in, respectively energy and
3-momentum and in turn the complementary fluctuations in the conjugate parameters of time and
position, while the observers consciousness (via the observers knowledge or potential
knowledge of the state of the system) has a direct though quantum nonlocal effect upon the
Heisenberg uncertainties in [x, p] and [t, E]. The Heisenberg uncertainties in x and t (via the
complementary uncertainties in p and E) together with the values of the local quantum
fluctuations in these variables (observables?) define the quantum expectation values associated
with the behavior of matter at the gross observational level. Note that although x is an
observable in quantum theory, t has unequal status to x, being a mere parameter in this
theory. Perhaps what accounts for this unequal status between x and t in quantum theory is
the fact that x is a quantum-local variable whereas t must be quantum-nonlocal. The
unequal status of x and t no doubt has played a role in quantum theory and general relativity
being irreconcilable theories. From one side, quantum theory is a linear theory, while GR is
nonlinear; from the other side, x is local and a bona fide observable in quantum theory, while
t is nonlocal and a mere parameter in this theory.

In the Deep Space Nine episode, Crossover there is a scene in which Doctor Bashir is in an
alternate universe explaining to Miles OBrien details of the life of his alternate universe
counterpart, Chief OBrien. Miles after hearing the details about his more fortunate counterpart
remarks somewhat depressingly, sounds like he got the lucky draw. . . between me and him.
This brings up the question of identity across continua. How deep do the continua layers go
before identity is left behind. . . environment, planet, galaxy, spacetime, causality, quantum vacua,
and so on? It might be thought that since spacetime is an intersubjective continuum that ones
identity must be anchored in a continuum at once broader and deeper than that constituted by
public spacetime, i.e., the so-called external world. By making the underpinnings of
consciousness based in quantum nonlocal connectivity, spacetime position, i.e., time and place get
factored out of the equation of personal identity. On this view, reincarnation of an individual
does not any longer have to be constrained by spacetime continuity.

The stream may never rise higher than its source means for consciousness that consciousness
exploration of itself may lead to a higher evolution of consciousness, though always one taking
place within consciousness. The physical basis of consciousness shall always prove subtler
than do the physical processes underlying ever more newly discovered physical phenomena.
The ultimate reason for this is that scientific theory is forever doomed to deal only in abstractions,
i.e., relationships of class inclusion and exclusion (just as is the case for language itself) while
consciousness is concrete and one may well suppose that consciousness is the only truly concretely
existing mode of being.

Quantum nonlocal connectivity underpins Lorenz invariance. This connectivity must be
implicitly contained within terms on both sides of the Einstein field equations. This is in part
due to Lorenz-Fitzgerald length contractions not being associated with any absolute observational
indicators, e.g., visible distortion of hierarchical structure of star clustering along a particular
spatial axis.

The proof of the subjective or intersubjective nature of quantum measurement experiments would
be ideally revealed by failure of the quantum probabilities observed to demonstrate the
indistinguishability of identical quantum particles. More generally, the subjective nature of
quantum measurement could be revealed by any properly controlled quantum experiment
revealing the practical efficacy of undifferentiated substance. The tricky part is in specifying
what constitutes proper control of the experimental conditions in such a measurement. The
practical efficacy of substance as a scientific concept would no doubt point to the interference of
the observers consciousness with the idealized conditions of quantum experiment. In a word,
the revelation of the action of substance always shall reduce to the interference with the
experiment on the part of the mental substance, i.e., consciousness of the experimenter(s).
Back-reaction, which disrupts the probabilistic symmetry of the wavefunction is due to the system
getting caught up in the self-feedback of the experimenters mind with itself, more particularly, of
the experimenters will and consciousness.

When one comes to a resolution to act, which results from freely willed deliberation a kind of
look-ahead repercussion upon the quantum probabilities of the system and the system to be
acted upon might be expected. The question is whether the nonlocal influence is upon the
quantum probabilities only of systems with which the actor has previously interacted (what might
be termed the local quantum probabilities) or also upon the quantum probabilities of systems with
which the actor proposes (in his freely willed decision) interact.

Modern physics, which is to say relativity and quantum mechanics, is characterized by the
unification of matter and vacuum such that the two may be properly considered merely different
states of the same underlying quantity. This is borne out by the fact that 1) relativity says that not
only do lengths contract, times dilate and masses increase with acceleration, but the length, time
and mass of space itself must relativistically transform under acceleration and 2) the Heisenberg
Uncertainty Principle applies not only to fluctuations in the quantum observables associated with
particles and fields, but also to fluctuations in these same quantum observables that must be
associated with the vacuum itself. But there may be more than one way of combining the
theories of relativity and quantum mechanics so that, instead of relativity and quantum mechanics
being equal partners, relativity is seen as rather a system of physical effects or phenomena
possessing nonrelativistic quantum mechanical origin.

The Davies-Unruh radiation (relativistically equivalent to Hawking radiation) is made up of a
black body spectrum of electromagnetic radiation in particular and a thermal spectrum of bosons
of every type in general. The increasing flux of bosonic thermal radiation observed by an
accelerating observer may be attributed to a rotation of possibly erstwhile more highly ordered
fermionic fluctuation energy.

In the case of any gravitational field or acceleration, there is an event horizon. But event
horizon must be more generally understood than a two-dimensional surface in three space and
one time dimension. This is only the extreme case, one in which the spatial and temporal axes
have been exchanged (at the black hole event horizon itself). But in less extreme cases of gravity
and/or acceleration, the surface defined by the so-called event horizon is more generally defined
by a 3-hypersurface in four dimensional spacetime. The case of a black hole, the radius of
curvature is purely 3d spatial. In the case of the three space, the radius of curvature is purely
temporal with again, a 3-hyper surface event horizon. In the case of moderate gravitational
fields, the radii of curvature possesses contain one temporal and three spatial components.

Not only are the time and space axes exchanged at the event horizon of a black hole, but the event
horizon (to which the time axis remains always orthogonal) is reduced from a 3-hypersurface to a
2-dimensional spherical surface. The entropy of the event horizon becomes maximal at the
same time as the 3
rd
spatial dimension of the event horizon is squeezed out. This perhaps
suggests that the information of 3-dimensional material structures is holographically coded onto a
2-surface. Does this possibility have any relation to the physics of anyons, i.e., the structure of 3
+ 1 spacetime is coded or programmed into the patterns of fluctuations of anyonic particles
and fields on a 2-dimensional surface? So what then is the relationship between anyonic physics
and supersymmetry? Somehow the comparison of the two theories reminds me of comparing a
discrete with a continuous automobile transmission.

The relation of anyonic physics to Fermi-Bose physics is analogous to the relationship of
analogue to digital computing. The Fermi-Bose physics is a kind of digitized abstraction from
the continuous anyonic physics. The 2-dimensional continuous field of numbers is more than
adequately dense and complex enough to code for a 3-dimensional array of discrete values. The
otherwise mutually exclusive categories of discrete fermions and interpenetrating boson fields
break down altogether on a 2-surface, which is the domain of so-called anyonic physics. It
would be interesting to explore how the postulates of quantum mechanics must be appropriately
modified to become compatible with the physics of anyons and their interactions.

Can the event horizon of a black hole possess a shape other than a perfectly spherical one? Or is
the spherical event horizon a concrete realization of an abstract nodal point in a spectrum of less
extreme spacetime curvatures, one perhaps extending all the way to the opposite extreme case of a
perfectly symmetrical and flat spacetime? Limiting ourselves to just general relativity there is
no way to explain the coherence of a perfectly flat spacetime or its continuity as a topological
manifold. Clearly what might be termed positive matter possesses only a merely relative
existence and therefore must consist of more (or more than one kind of) energy than that bound up
in the relatively positive mass-energy of the matter. Spacetime structure must be determined
by the relative values of at least two varieties of matter as well as the dynamics of the mutual
interaction of the two or more types of matter. Of course, fermions and bosons offer themselves
up as the minimal two fundamental types of particle, field, fluctuation, i.e., constituent of physical
ground of being, etc. What is termed empty space or empty spacetime must be a balancing
of a dynamic tension between the various varieties of stress-momentum-energy. Relativistic
invariance may require the giving up of the duality of particle and field in favor of that of current
and field.

The density of composite spin 0 virtual fermion-antifermion vacuum energy fluctuations must
instantaneously (or nonlocally) decrease with distance from the observer. The opposite must be
the case where causally connected distance (local distance) from the observer is concerned. This
suggests that the timelike and spacelike structures of spacetime must be related to one another via
some kind of symmetry operation, similar to the mirroring of the two halves of a hyperboloid of
revolution. Is this mirroring of the timelike and spacelike aspects of 3+1 spacetime consistent
with Bohms notion of causal connections being equivalent to nonlocal correlations of quantum
fluctuations? The nonlocally connected spacetime manifold contains within itself all possible
inertial observer-dependent 3+1 spacetime sections of the nonlocally connected manifold.

The acceleration of the universe may be connected with an asymmetry in how irreversible time and
frequency mutually transform, as opposed to the case for bare, mathematical time functions that
Fourier transform into the frequency domain. The falling of bodies into a gravitational potential
may in this case be the bodies seeking out early frequency epochs of the universes expansion.
(Expand on what this might mean in terms of the proposed mechanisms of gravitation)

Examine the Hc explanation for the Pioneer 10/11 acceleration anomalies in terms of the back
and forth travel of a radio or light signal between the spacecraft and observation stations.

The events of the event horizon are in this case, just as in the extreme case of a black hole
trapped surface vacuum fluctuations constantly taking place across this horizon. In the case of
the black hole, there is a complete imbalance in the fermion-antifermion components making up
the energy fluctuations, which now become a kind of fermionic 3-momentum fluctuation. It is
through this mechanism of Hawking radiation that the hole shall eventually radiate away all of its
mass, leading to the well known black hole information paradox. Due to the expansion of the
Universe and the resultant decrease in the Universes gravitational curvature, there should be
everywhere present throughout space a tiny component of the virtually infinitely dense quantum
vacuum energy, manifesting itself in the form of radiation akin to Davies-Unruh or Hawking
radiation. Moreover, this radiation should possess an precisely thermal spectrum, i.e., it must be
black body radiation. The temperature of this radiation could be calculated through use of the
Hawking radiation gravity-temperature, which states that the temperature of the Hawking
radiation must be proportional to the intensity of the black hole surface gravity. The question
arises, what must the intensity of gravity be for us to observe a 2.7 degree Kelvin black body
radiation spectrum? Examination of the appropriate Hawking formula suggests that the
acceleration necessary in order to produce such a hot thermal spectrum is enormous. Might
such enormous accelerations have been produced during either the gravitational collapse of a
supermassive black hole or perhaps by the inflationary stage of cosmological expansion, which
took place during he first 10
-30
seconds after the Big Bang?

The point of creation for God is that of becoming Himself, that is, of becoming God. Since God
possesses the greatest freedom of all beings, there should be more paths (in the sense of causal
efficacy) leading to Godhead than lead to the evolution of any other, lesser being. The evolution
of the very simplest beings, e.g., viruses and one-celled organism should have been accomplished
by only one among a relatively small number of possible paths that are more or less in line what the
dictates of quantum chemistry. As evolution progresses ever further, greater and greater
subtleties of the nature of the ground of being come into play and the availability of possible
alternative paths to these higher levels from simpler levels grows in step. In other words,
evolution occurs not merely in the being, but in the possibilities in beings further evolution.

We should not confuse the alternative possibilities represented by the quantum state vector or
wave function with alternative possibilities of particular systems, but understand them as
alternative possible states of particular systems. This consideration speaks to the current
discussions of alternate universes in the many worlds interpretation of quantum measurement.

Does the individual have the resources to conceptualize what is unique about his individual
conscious mental process, despite science, logic and language itself pertaining only to class
relationships if only because the individual by virtue of his consciousness has privileged access to
the contents of own mind? If so, then they are not directly communicable, but the individual
must in good faith rely upon the ineffable correspondence of the conscious mental contents of
his own mind with such contents as are presumed to exist within the minds of others. What is
paradoxical in this faith in the communicability of subjective mental contents is the implied notion
of an abstract category of correspondence in which the correspondence is not constituted by an
abstract relationship. Do we mean to imply by this that the correspondence between mine and
anothers experience of the same object or situation is by other than analogy?

A truly unique individual would be transcendent of any and all possible description, however
complex, and could only correspond with other beings or entities via the relation of substantial
continuity, which is to say, each and every other entity would be in some sense derivative from
the unique individual. But then the mutual separateness of entities corresponding or otherwise
related to the unique individual would at bottom be illusory. Separate consciousnesses can only
each be considered together with the others as examples of conscious entities provided the entities
are substantially continuous with one another. Perhaps one aspect of this substantial continuity
that connects distinct consciousnesses is quantum nonlocality, transcending as QL does the
individuating categories of space and time. You and I cannot both be unique consciousnesses
and at the same be, each of us unique examples of a conscious entity.



But my own consciousness presumably possesses something in common with previous instances
of itself over and above what my consciousness possesses in common with the consciousness of
other persons. An objective category of consciousness must therefore exclude what my present
consciousness possesses in common with previous states of my own consciousness and include
only what my consciousness holds in common with the consciousness of other persons.
There is the oft-heard phrase; one of a kind. But this phrase defines a coherent notion only in a
metaphorical sense. But in this case, we are dealing with something of a closed system, one
presumably possessed of a formal, i.e., formally describable structure. It might be thought that
something without definable boundaries could be both unique and an exemplar of a class, e.g., a
spiral nebula. But here the non-definability is only with respect to nuances of structure that
play no key role in defining the entity as such. Here, in the case of a spiral galaxy, what is unique
about the object are aspects of the object that could be different in an unlimited number of ways
without changing the category of object. Consciousness however, is absolutely crucial to the
defining of the persons identity as such. If the other and I are each unique in our
consciousness-mediated identities and both examples of what are termed conscious beings, then
our respective consciousnesses must only be unique in a manner that does not respect the
distinctness of our identities. Consciousness is unique in its essence but not as a phenomenon is
another paradoxical statement which invokes this confusion of the unique example.
Consciousness is unique in creation and what makes an individual an example of a conscious
individual is that his consciousness is continuous with deindividuated consciousness. The
individual is self-conscious to the extent that he recognizes his individuality as an illusion.
Otherwise in order to accept that 1) consciousness essentially defines personal identity, 2) there are
a plurality of conscious persons and 3) each of the plurality of persons is an example of
consciousness because of some abstract quality or property that each consciousness possesses in
common with all other examples of consciousness, one must, along with Plantinga invoke a
Universal Mind, one capable of examining all of the examples of individual consciousness and
seeing them as such.
It is interesting to contrast the Latin-based word, exist (existere) with the German word ist
(derived from the German verb, Sein, tr. to be). Playing a little with this comparison we can
interpret exist as ex-ist, as either former istence (sein) as out or away from or standing out
against istence or being, e.g., ex-ist as in ex-cise, ex-stend, ex-foliate, etc. In other
words, existence is just a derivative of being, perhaps in Schopenhauers sense of individuation of
being. Being becomes the ground of all existence deriving from it. Strangely enough, it
appears that existence is a realm of abstractions while being is alone concrete and substantial.

The larger the Universe is discovered to be by astrophysicists, cosmologists, etc., the more
is the existence of the self underscored in the sense of existere qua standing out against, c.f., recent
discovery of four circular thermal fluctuation signatures in the cosmic background radiation
indicating that the Universe was bruised by impacts with four other universes during the epoch
of cosmological inflation. These discoveries enlarge the background against which the
individual stands out in his act of existere.

The structure of language acts as translator and interpreter of interpersonal verbal and written
communication. Any component of the individuals conscious state that does not fit into the
system of language must nonetheless be (attempt to be) conveyed via language. This component
of interpersonal communication constitutes a kind of linguistic noise, that must nonetheless
become an integral part of the communication recipients interpretation of the communication, i.e.,
in terms of the recipients own system of language. (Derrida would say, perhaps that language
acts in this capacity for each and every interpersonal communication)

A writer composes a novel in which he the author is one of the characters of the novel. Another
character of the novel reveals this fact to the author character, who disputes this revelation,
engaging the other character in philosophical argument. Id as soon believe that I was just a
character in a novel as Id believe that Im the author of my own existence.

The basic difference between the philosopher and the poet consists in something like the
following: the philosopher at various junctures throughout his life finds himself up until very late
puzzling over whether he is God or a mere Will O the Wisp. The poet lazily sits up in bed around
noon and dreamily reconciles this opposition by supposing he is indeed both and does not trouble
himself any further with the question.

It is true that introspection permits access to the contents of the individuals mind that cannot be
reached by the empirical and analytical methods of scientific investigation. However, the
individual who is capable of accessing the contents of his individual mind but through the prism of
intersubjectively and collectively constructed concepts, potentially enjoys no greater access into
his or her own psychic processes than potentially does present day science or science of the not too
distant future. Moreover, science can point out regularities in the individuals motivation and
behavior of which the individual in his alleged sovereign access to his hidden inner self possesses
little of no hint. The question arises whether, because the individuals understanding and feel for
the meaning of socially constructed categories that are presumed to underpin his every notion are
necessarily privately held and never directly examinable, his conceptualization of himself, others
and the world must not then be ultimately incommensurate with such alleged pseudo-objective,
socially constructed categories. But if so, the incommensurateness of the individuals
conceptual framework with that of society, i.e., with that of every other potential correspondent of
that individual must on a short term, individual level not be deleterious though on a longer term,
societal level this incommensurateness must be the source of social and psychological
innovation that promotes the progress of the clan, tribe, nation, etc. in the larger Darwinian scheme
of things.

The most viable social groups (in the Darwinian sense) possess the largest though most integrated
cross sections of special talent and ability in that societys individuals. This represents an
epigenetic harnessing of behavioral genetic variation through cultural inheritance, which was
greatly sped up by the advent of vocal communication and then language. The different
flowerings of culture in civilized societies represent the sublimation of genetic behavioral
potential built up over many hundreds of thousands of years of competition for survival and
dominance between myriad hierarchical, nomadic, hunter-gatherer societies.


A set of necessary and sufficient conditions for the arising of conscious states is always such as set,
which produces conscious states of some particular person. This implies that there is no set of
necessary and sufficient conditions for what might be termed consciousness as such. Each
individual consciousness is its own open system in which the set of necessary conditions sufficient
to produce that persons individual consciousness is an open, indeterminate or infinite set. The
necessary conditions for the existence of some individual consciousness are always boundary
conditions placed upon some dynamical process that is already specific or peculiar to the identity
of the particular individual in question. With each individual consciousness constituting (rather
than being constituted by?) an open system, if follows that there is no common space (or time for
that matter by Lorenz invariance) that may be properly understood to enclose individual
consciousnesses together or in common. Also since formal structure obviously is not a sufficient
condition determine the personal identity of an individual consciousness, a continuity of some
formless substance seems a fundamentally necessary component of the personal identity of an
individual consciousness. All of this is to say that there is a kind of gulf mutually separating all
individual consciousness, namely one comprised by space, time and substance. Since each
individual belongs to a realm of entirely distinct substance from that of the other with no common
underlying substrate to the distinct substances (by definition), if follows that the means by which
one individual affects another must be acausal in nature.

Duplication of conscious states would require that at some sufficiently deep level of physics the
physical processes underlying consciousness must be quantum degenerate with respect to every
single definable observable. (Hence, the unobservability of conscious states except, of
course in the case of the unique individual whose consciousness it is) The variable that defines
one consciousness as this consciousness rather than that consciousness then cannot be a physical
observable as quantum mechanics understands the term.

All Georg Cantors Diagonal Argument may really be understood to have proved is the
incommensurability by logical construction of the ordinal and rational numbers.

The failure of the theoretical description at the subatomic scale is connected with (perhaps
causes) the fabric of quantum fluctuations at the smallest scales of spacetime. (A kind of
persistent failure on the part of the Universal Mind to keep track of all that is occurring in creation)
A similar failure occurs at the macroscopic scale when the abstract combinational-permutational
space represented by Hilbert space outstrips the computational processing capacity of this fabric of
fluctuations (quantum vacuum), which results in the Penrose-Hameroff Orch-OR process of
state vector reduction. (Here again, a kind of failure on the part of the Universal Mind to
entertain all of the implied combinations and permutations of entities within abstract Hilbert
space) One is reminded here of the fact of Einsteins field equations possessing approximately
six million distinct solutions (in the sense of mathematical existence proof though only about 12 of
these solutions have yet been found) The Universal Mind, or the mind of an individual human
mathematician or physicist for that matter is capable of devising an abstract space populated by a
set of abstract entities and abstract dynamics with which to drive these entities in which the
totality of possibilities, their combinations and permutations, as well as the relationships of all
these outstrips the computational capacity of either man or Divine Being, which in turn leads to the
uncertainty and hence temporality of sufficiently large systems of the entities and their
relationships. This reminds one perhaps of a computer network system crash that occurs at a
certain terminal of the network whenever the user at that terminal tries to utilize more CPU
resources than what the network administrator has allocated for that terminal. The quantum
uncertainty associated with state vector collapse must be intimately connected with the locally
present Heisenberg quantum uncertainty. The Orch-OR reduction process, however appears to
be a quantum nonlocal phenomenon, depending as it does upon what is taking place within the
abstract domain of Hilbert space.

A possible mechanism for quantum uncertainty over and above that specified by the Heisenberg
uncertainty relations might be on account of an ever present asymmetry between a quantum
systems Psi and conjugate-Psi, the product of which specifies the probability densities of the
system. Of course, the phase of the wavefunction is determined by the inverse tangent of the
ratio of the magnitudes of the imaginary and real parts of the wavefunction. The uniform
rotation of the phase of a quantum system implies a kind of exact mirroring of the imaginary parts
of Psi and Psi*. An asymmetry between these imaginary components of Psi and Psi* would
have the effect of causing a temporal evolution of the probability density, <Psi|Psi*>, which
should produce physically real effects. Here would be a case where the Heisenberg energy
uncertainties calculated from <Psi|Psi*> and <Psi*|Psi>, respectively must be generally unequal.
Must there fluctuations in the energy degenerate observables of the wavefunction that do not
manifest themselves as a component of the Heisenberg energy uncertainty of the system, if Psi and
Psi* are generally unequal? And if such an asymmetry of the wavefunction exists, then what,
pray tell is its physical basis? Certainly this asymmetry of Psi that we are speculating about
here must be connected with the fundamental asymmetry of time. We believe this because of the
reality of the phenomenon of gravitational decoherence. When a wavefunction decoheres the
phase relationships between the eigenfunctions composing the wavefunction are disrupted,
becoming progressively less mutually synchronized.

Should gravity, which distorts spacetime have the effect of increasing any temporal asymmetries
that already exist, say when lowering a system + heat bath into a gravitational potential? If so,
then how would gravity or spacetime curvature interact with the temporal asymmetry that we are
postulating as due to the general inequality of Psi and Psi*? Presumably there should be some
effect if it is correct to assume that Hilbert space feels the effect of gravitational fields.

Classically, only information about closed systems should be communicable between conscious
minds such that in cases of 100% fidelity of transmission of data, both minds should hold the same
information post transmission. What permits the subject to view himself is the same
mechanism that makes the subject undetectable and immeasurable to other subjects. Quantum
entanglement should not be spatially symmetrical and temporally reversible where acts of
conscious observation participate in the creation of quantum entangled states. Perhaps this
assertion has experimental implications for the problem of quantum measurement.

The fundamental quantum uncertainty is between a physical observable and some conjugate or
dual quantity that is proportional to the rate of change in that physical observable, e.g., position
and momentum, phase and angular momentum, etc. The time-energy expression of Heisenberg
uncertainty is therefore the most fundamental of its expressions. A system must change its
energy, either discretely or continuously in order for the system to undergo a measurable change,
that is, for the system to experience a change in one of the systems definable quantum mechanical
observables. But not all change is indicated by a corresponding change in the energy of the
system that is undergoing change. This is on account entirely to the phenomenon of quantum
mechanical degeneracy. A system that is quantum degenerate with respect to a particular
physical observable may experience changes to its state vector, apart from mere rotation of the
quantum phase of the system, which in no way changes the value of the particular physical
observable. This observation might be valuable for the Philosophy of Mind in helping with the
question of the relation of subjective to objective time, e.g., subjective temporality may be largely
(though not entirely) comprised by changes and temporal evolution of quantum states in the brain
(or in its embedding substrate vacuum state) that are degenerate with respect to energy and all
definable quantum mechanical observables.

Rapidly changing force fields may permit a quantum system to violate Ehrenfests Theorem and
allow quantum behavior to manifest itself at the macroscopic level. This is perhaps what takes
place when a free willed observer changes the boundary conditions to the quantum fields in an
unpredictable manner, which forces state vector collapse, i.e., what we have referred to elsewhere
as surprising the quantum vacuum. C.f., The Physics of Consciousness, p. 270.

The essentially dynamic metaphorical function of consciousness presupposes at least a second
dimension of temporality still more reason for the nonformaliz-able nature of conscious mental
processes. Functions of consciousness cannot be represented in terms of functions of a single
time variable, despite an unlimited number of abstract functional variables being at our disposal
that may be combined together with t in the argument of any function possessing merely a single
temporal dimension. There are two distinct types of information, one associated with the
reduction of energy uncertainty through reduction in the magnitude and density of vacuum energy
fluctuations, the other through the increase in the nonlocal quantum correlatedness of fluctuations
in the vacuums energy. For example, the correlatedness of two sets of quantum energy
fluctuations, each of which is random, constitutes a net gain in information, but without the
collective energy uncertainty of the two sets of fluctuations having changed. One might suppose
that this is because there has been a gain in information about totally random signals, which strictly
speaking doesnt tell us anything new about the world unless it would be possible to assign some
conventional meaning to the arbitrary pattern of fluctuation within either set. But without us
being able to control the fluctuations in some way at one end, there is not possibility of using the
correlatedness of the two sets of fluctuations for purposes of communication. Is there a
connection implicit here between will, intentionality (or aboutness) and consciousness? It is
the nature of consciousness as a fundamentally open system that makes consciousness dynamic in
its action, i.e., the action of consciousness always contributes something novel and not prefigured
in the system at any previous stage of the systems development. Consciousness + system may
never constitute a composite closed system due to the essential openness of consciousness itself.
Hence the action of consciousness upon an observed system is always that of breaching the system
with respect to the prefigured set of external system potentialities. This sounds very similar in
nature to the phenomenon of state vector collapse of quantum systems that is frequently associated
with the peculiar action of the observers consciousness upon the system being observed. What
is called interpretation of sensory data, perception, or still more, of experience must always
involve an evolution of the data that cannot possibly be fit onto merely a single dimension of time,
that is, contained within a function possessed of only a single temporal parameter. The quantum
paradox of Wigners friend is easily broken if the 1
st
level quantum observer is himself an open
system, i.e., a system which cannot be characterized by a pure state wavefunction or even by a
diagonalizable density matrix. (As a quantum system is always a pure state within its own
system of reference)

Moving at 70.7% the speed of light, lengths in the direction of motion are reduced to one half,
clock intervals are stretched to double that expected for an object at rest, and the object in
motions mass relativistically increases to double that it had prior to being accelerated. Note that
merely doubling an objects rest mass does not require such a radical restructuring of the spacetime
metric of the objects embedding spacetime manifold as was required when an objects special
relativistic mass is doubled.

What is termed thought is perhaps more properly understood as unthought. That is to say,
all thought as a category-transcending (transcendental horizonal repositioning, c.f.,
au=
Heideggers
cit=
What is Called Thinking) process is an activity in which sociocultural categories, i.e., artifacts
of the collective consciousness (as opposed to the collective unconsciousness of Jung) are
deconstructed. Thought is finding the exceptions to rules instituted by the collective or school
of thought. The importance of the school of thought is that it provides a kind of touchstone or
common point of reference for those discussing new ideas that transcend the limitations imposed
upon the consciousness of adherents of that particular school. So then much of what passes for
thought is really merely reshuffling of categories whilst these categories remain completely intact
throughout, i.e., application.

The more I have reflected upon the deconstructive project, the more I notice its close similarity
with the psychic dissociation experienced by schizophrenics, c.f.,
cit=
Madness and Modernism
(
au=
Sass). This psychic dissociation experienced by the schizophrenic is similar to that effected
by deconstructionist thinkers (see above comment concerning the real nature of thought) in
that what previously was uncritically accepted as a coherent and unassuming entity or object
within ones environment is now seen by the deconstructive philosopher as a
kwd=
reification from
out of a heavily filtered and reprocessed flux. What the deconstructionist is careful to point out is
that the rationale by which the flux has been reified into objects (see
au=
Piaget here) (also, c.f,
au=
William James blooming, buzzing confusion) is essentially arbitrary at least to the extent of
being only one coherent way among myriad possible, equally viable ways of
filtering-
kwd=
reification of the flux, c.f., languages as concept maps in which language at least
partially determines thought, e.g., incompleteness of the mutual translatability of languages and
the innateness of grammar (
au=
Chomskys
cit=
Syntactic Structures). The justification of the manner
of reprocessing of the flux of experience always comes later (this is
au=
Derridas concept of
always alreadiness at work here) and is not so much an expression of earlier cultural forms as
what comes later as a shoring up of what has come before and a back formation/attribution of a
more coherent individual will and intention/ intentionality and meaning to those earlier forms than
what were originally explicitly or self-consciously present. (See

Consideration of the overdetermined nature of the process by which the developing
infant constructs a coherent representation of the world and his place within it along with an
examination of the El Greco Paradox in the light the philosophy of perception (the so-called
argument from illusionphilosophy of mind (Other Minds), leads us to conclude that the set of
conditions required to pass a Turning Test are not stringent enough to guarantee the unity of
perception, intersubjectively. This is especially true in further light of the possible
epiphenomenal nature of consciousness, i.e., consciousness not grounded in an objective concept
of consciousness.

I saw what appeared to me as a perfect quarter profile of Jesus ("headshot") in a pattern of
condensation in the center window pane of the kitchen back door. The clincher though was the
simultaneous appearance of my deceased mother in a full length half-profile in the form of a fractal
crinkly-Aluminum Origami image in the window pane just below. This is no doubt all by way of
the same general mechanism of sense data reprocessing (perception) that permits thousands of
high energy physicists to finally glimpse the Higgs boson in a trillion exploding pieces of LHC
particle debris.

Originally this pronoun possessed only a socially determined function and its transformation
between ancient and modern times serves only as the lynchpin indicator of what has transpired
with all manner of myriad other cultural forms which have since become artificially personalized.
Recall our observation that the individual acts without the knowledge that his perceptions,
thoughts and choices are determined by general human nature subject to special conditions and
always from within a sociolinguistic context. Social processes cannot be properly understood as
being merely processes of collective action by socially constructed individuals. Multifaceted
truths require a plurality of mutually inconsistent coherent assertions in their support. For
example, lately (late 2011) cosmologists have only reluctantly arrived at the conclusion that the
long time best candidate for a theory of everything, i.e., String Theory may have to forever
remain as a network of overlapping though ultimately mutually logically inconsistent components
of
voc=
heterotic M-Theory. The mutual coherence of each and every proposition of a given
collection of propositions uttered by an individual does not by itself guarantee logical
self-consistency of the collection even when each of the propositions has been asserted (at each
time in good faith) by the very same person. The invention and spread of the art of writing
would have been more an effect rather than a cause of the breakdown of the Jaynes bicameral
mind. A valuable exercise might be the tracking of the changing nature of selective pressure,
both upon the individual and the collective necessitated by cultural ramifications of early mans
social and technological development that were being driven by the evolution of his generalized
mental capacity. (Do we have here the beginnings of an argument for intelligence being more
than a mere adaptation, i.e., for intelligence possessing an essence and not being merely an
abstraction from phenomena?) Here also may be a reason for selection and self-organization
being viewed as a partnership in evolution rather than competing interpretations of
evolution.

The peculiar phenomenon of dreaming is likely a vestigial behavior pattern representing
a mode of consciousness
@$
that was originally present during both the waking and sleeping life of
our distant forebears. A single genetic mutation could have been responsible for the melatonin
output of the pineal gland rolling over from a more or less continuous to a nocturnal cycle. The
dream that was the totality of Mans subjective consciousness for countless millennia now could
fall at least during the day when individual members of the tribe or clan struck out on their own to
conduct a solitary hunt, on which was now much more directly under the control of the object,
c.f.,
au=
Santayana. Man needed the voices of his gods for guidance as he was now on his own in
two important ways: he now conducted operations during the day not only collectively but also
individually and the control of his actions had begun to be assumed from the inside rather than
from out of a flurry of screams, warnings and shouted directions from the other members of the,
e.g., hunter-gatherer hunting party. (Question: did Man become more rather than less nomadic
with the thawing of the glaciers of the last ice age?) Do psychopathy and sociopathy also
represent vestigial modes of psychological function that formerly held a much more integral
function within nomadic, hunter-gatherer society or do we have to go back much further in Mans
prehistory in order to find the natural selective advantage conferred upon the individual possessing
either psycho- or sociopathy? Does the institution of marriage only poorly fit the innate impulses
and tendencies, which we inherited from our hunter-gatherer prehistory? For example, it appears
likely that sexuality on the part of our hunter-gatherer ancestors was not monogamous, but more
likely orgiastic, c.f,
au=
McKenna,
cit=
Food of the Gods. So the sexual duplicity and serial
monogamy, which appeared more and more frequently during so-called moderns times (and still
more now in postmodern society) represent but a resurgence of human beings natural sexual
instincts now that the strictures of Puritanical/Victorean social legislation and mores are more or
less in a profound state of lapse. There should have been no selective pressure in favor of the
development of a new and higher mode of mental functioning (ego-consciousness) during sleep,
which supports the notion of the relatively egoless mode of consciousness enjoyed during
dreaming being a leftover or vestigial mode of primitive consciousness. The bicameral mind may
have resulted from the brain compensating with its newly developed linguistic capacities for a
sudden disruption of the epigenetically unified (through culture) functioning of Mans
dual-hemisphere brain in which the right brain had traditionally maintained dominance. The
development of a tool-using culture would have taken some of the selective pressure off of the
right brain and placed it more squarely upon the brains more analytical left hemisphere. Changes
in consciousness perhaps correspond with changed boundary conditions upon conscious
perception and altered access to the boundaries of conscious perception or excitation of our
perceptual faculties taking place within preexistent boundaries. The nature of the wavefunction
as well as the various transformation and transitions that it may, theoretically speaking, undergo
may be closely analogous to the transformations and transitions of human consciousness.
Moreover, the existence of such an analogy between the wavefunction and consciousness cannot
be merely coincidental.

Another connection between free will and consciousness is that freely willed action must take
place within a nonlocally integrated manifold of information, i.e., objects reified from the flux of
merely local causal relationships of data. And the act of
kwd=
reification from out of the flux
requires this peculiar function of consciousness.

Of course there is a tendency for the individual to personalize manifestations of the collective by
individual persons, e.g., the policeman gave me a ticket because he doesnt like the way I look.

Investigation of the raw play of forms that is the flux, filtered and reprocessed so as to give us our
foundational or stock forms, perhaps at first shall only reveal the presence of these same stock
forms though in a state of fleeting existence and mutual transformation. The border between the
conscious and unconscious then seems to be marked by the artifacts of the filtering and
reprocessing of the alleged flux of experience. Consciousness as such is utterly form
transcending. This begins to suggest that consciousness is neither substance nor form but an
active process by which forms and the rules of their transformation are constituted. That out of
which this constituting of form is to take place perhaps must itself be formless. Note that the
will or motive behind the
kwd=
reification of form from formlessness, i.e., substance must be
something which is essentially third principle in relation to the first and second principles of
substance and form.

Pattern recognition, e.g., vision, speech, kinesthetic, and so on, instinctive goal-orientatedness,
viral mimesis, suggestibility (and auto-suggestibility),
kwd=
reification as permitting coherent
metalevel entanglement, etc. all conspired to enable what I term here the illusion of the
non-dissociated nature of experience. It is arguable that consciousness as such is an artifact of
integration of preconsciously processed sensory (and sensory-referred) inputs, c.f., the effects of
the dissociative anesthetic, Atavin.

Auto-suggestibility is a valuable component of self-consciousness with clear social utility.

Does the evolutionary process take on a distinctly different character once evolutionary change is
recast in the frequency as opposed to the time domain? Just look at the difference between the
spatial versus energy level paradigms of memory storage. Space and time are different
projections of spacetime, spatialized memory of timelike evolutions. Frequency is proportional
to energy, which is the dual quantum parameter to that of time. Space and time are local
variables while the duals of these, spatial and temporal frequencies are essentially nonlocal. Any
frequency spectrum of a closed system is rational in the sense of standing wave patterns, i.e., an
integral number of nodes contained within any given wave train. In an open system there can be
no such thing as an integral whole number of nodes contained within the system. Genuine
temporality seems to require an irrational frequency spectrum to underlie what might be
conveniently termed here the time domain spectrum. Genuine temporality demands the
origination of action from outside the system. Here we see a connection between nonlocality,
genuine temporality, open systems, uniqueness/irrationality, noncomputability, substance,
continuity, free will and collapse of the state vector, consciousness and collapse of the state vector,
environmental decoherence, entropy, information vs. data, concrete vs. abstract, causal power vs.
causal descriptions (physical laws merely describing behavior vs. physical laws governing the
behavior of physical systems), and so on.

Our faith that we can ascertain the identity of some unknown thing through the making of new
distinctions (out of old) is secretly a faith in the providential rationality of the universe. More
generally this faith in a universe that supports the capability of the mind for identifying entities at
one level of concretion-abstraction by manipulating operations of class inclusion and class
exclusion at higher levels of abstraction than that which those entities occupy. The doing of
science and philosophy, then, presupposes a secret and perhaps also unbeknownst adherence to a
theistic argument from design.

If the basis of both individual consciousness as well as consciousness as such is physical then we
might expect the underlying mechanism of consciousness as such to be intimately connected to
that mechanism by which the identity of MWI quantum universes is determined, as well as the
mechanism by which physical law parameters are tuned so as to produce this particular universe
(rather than some possible other universe). If this is true then the mechanism by which ones
individual consciousness operates is grounded in the particular uniquely and precisely tuned
system of physical constants (which has been articulated by the culture in which one resides as a
uniquely solipsistic individual.) The functioning of each persons consciousness would vis a vis
the requirements of what we might term here the quantum solipsistic version of Anthropic
Cosmological Principle (ACP) require that the physical constants be tuned ever so slightly
differently to enable the emergence of one consciousness (rather than some other). This would
guarantee the ultimate incommensurability of the freely willed actions of any individual that
impinge upon the intersubjective realm, i.e., the universe in which there is some effective value
(akin to the expectation value of a quantum observable?) for each fundamental physical
constant. Intersubjective observables are always grounded, if you will in some particular ground
or vacuum state.

The many minds interpretation of quantum measurement should not suffer from the same basic or
inherent limitations as does the many worlds (so-called) interpretation. (How can a superposition
of appearances provide the dynamic by which each appearance is to be brought into being ab
initio?) This limitation of the MWI of QM sidestepped by the MMI of QM is that of explaining
the coherence and cohesiveness of a given alternate quantum universe or world.

Because Heisenberg-uncertain energy exhibits verifiable physical effects it is clear that a mere
epistemological interpretation of quantum mechanics is not sufficient.

If there is one thing we can say about Dimbulbians, its that they dont push the primate envelope
all that hard. The Butterfly effect of chaos studies presupposes a highly coherent and
dynamical substrate or ground that directs and sustains the dynamics of bifurcating evolving
systems. Of course, the more chaotic the system, the harder is it to formally describe the
dynamics of that system, e.g., Hamiltonian dynamical equations.

There is a peculiar relationship between intelligence as a la Kant a prolegomena to any future
adaptation and so-called otherness or what we might term here alienness. Many kinds of
beings can never grow up or evolve in a given environment (such as the Earth) but which after
having evolved intelligence, culture and technology become quite capable of adapting and living
within that formerly inhospitable environment. This means that environments can sustain the
existence of beings that nonetheless could never have carried over into those environments from
earlier ones. Evolution of the very possibilities for the genomes expression goes hand in hand
with evolution of the environments to which organisms are to adapt themselves. This is support
for the doctrine of evolutionary emergence, which is the idea that all that becomes actual is not
merely a change in ontological status conferred upon preexisting possibilities, that is possibilities
established along with the specifying of the initial and boundary conditions of the system in which
possibilities first emerge as actually existing beings.

It is clear that some order or system either called me into being or called something into being that
later became myself. Here we encounter the paradox of the transcendence of form by
substance. How can substances come into being if they are continuous with their ground from
which they come into being (and which presumably sustain the being of the substances after
coming into being)? To say that the identity of a person is founded on the correspondence of
what is key to the person being who he is in time with what is key to the person being who he is in
eternity (or in the persons eternal aspect) is, it appears, to invoke form as the basis of personal
identity. On the other hand, if it is substance and continuity that are key to personal identity,
rather than correspondence of form, then there is some unique principle of coherence and
cohesiveness enjoyed by substances that also transcends any possible formal analysis, i.e., unique
individuals do not fit into the schema of relationships of mere class inclusion and exclusion.
This comparison of substance and form demonstrating the transcendence by substance of form is
reminiscent of comparisons, topological or otherwise of the real and integer number lines, as well
as of the comparison in physics of time with space. (List yet again the system of dual categories
that partially aligns with the substance vs. form dichotomy, c.f., earlier writings)

Because the distinction of matter and mind is based upon abstraction stemming from limitations
imposed on us along two fronts, i.e., sense perception on the one hand and conceptualization on the
other, we might suppose that by probing matter deeply enough with technologically advanced
enough instruments of observation that an underlying substrate would be revealed possessing
attributes common to both mind and matter though perhaps of a somewhat more inchoate form
than expressed through the form of either modality. But if this distinction is so fundamental as to
be absolutely necessary for the intellect, then perhaps the duality of mind and matter respects a
physically based distinction between knowledge and uncertainty, that is, the Heisenberg
uncertainty principle. Heisenberg uncertain energy might be expected to exhibit physical
properties at its surface, that is, where this uncertain energy interfaces with . . . what? This
uncertain energy might then be expected to exhibit mental properties within its depth (i.e.,
volume). There may be a paradox involved in the concept of measurement of both energy and
information once one is considering energies within the volume defined by the surface of
Heisenberg energy.

Discussion of sensory deprivation experiments effects upon the sensory input amplifier circuits in
the brain. Does the brain impose order upon the noisy sensory signals or divine hidden order in
them?

Discussion of analogy of Ellie Arroways statement that intelligent life must exist elsewhere in the
Universe because otherwise the Universe would be a great waste of space informs my motive for
believing in the existence of an Akashic record: an Akashic record or dynamic matrix for the
databasing, fusion and reprocessing of experiential data should exists because if it didnt, this
would constitute a colossal waste of potential higher levels of meaning to be derived from the data
of human experience, from the experiential data of all sentient temporal beings.

Unfortunately, thought of mind spreads much slower than word of mouth (through the outer
reaches of Dimbulbia).

Long-term advantages of an adaptation of an organisms structure might explain the maintenance
of the adaptation, but cannot be invoked in order to explain the origin of the adaptation unless a
teleological principle is assumed. This is especially true where long term advantages to the
organism cannot be decomposed into a sum of short-term advantages. Parallel arguments may be
made concerning fitness of societies of organism versus fitness of individual organisms.
Everything that originates by chance in the genome, i.e., mutation must also have arisen at one
and the same time as a minute expression of underlying causal processes (which is something in a
very real sense that is quite the contrary to chance), in that there was a pre-loaded latent
functionality of gene expression in terms of the self-organizing properties of the organic quantum
chemistry of the genome just prior to the input precipitating the favorable mutation, e.g., cosmic
ray particle impact.

The wavefunction is just an abstraction, however it enters into physical processes in a most
concrete manner, e.g., Bell nonlocality, quantum mechanical tunneling, gravitational collapse of
the wavefunction. We might try doing a great variety of two-slit experiments against the day
that our detection and measurement technology becomes greatly improved and then perform the
same experiments again, comparing the new results with the old. Such a series of experiments
might be considered an attempt to investigate the concreteness of counterfactuals as well as
perhaps the interpenetration of the concepts of ontology and epistemology, e.g. the
onto-epistemological nature of Heisenberg Uncertainty.

The random mix-master universe model of the determination of physical constants does not
adequately support the Anthropic cosmological principle as an explanation for the existence of
life and intelligent life. The phenomenon of coherence of a cellular automata universe is
inconsistent with the underlying mechanics of how cellular automata generate structure and how
those structures evolve. If the mix master universe matrix is essentially coherent, then distinct
possible universes would not be mutually alternative or disjunctive, but conjunctive.

Does the interpretation of Russells set paradox hinge on whether we think of sets as collections of
many objects versus collections of manifestations of an underlying essential unity, c.f., Two dozen
(or so) Theistic Arguments , Alvin Plantinga? Is the Platonist interpretation of mathematics
consistent with the axiom of choice?

Quant/ph 9802065 says that computations can be performed on a quantum computer without
dissipation of energy. The dissipation of energy and hence the production of entropy comes hand
and hand with the gain in information that results from the act of observing the output of the
quantum computational device.

Everyone is unique, it is just unfortunate that most people never think to discover this fact. What
is unique about the individual is ineffable and falls outside of any intersubjective description.
The freedom of the individual derives from his uniqueness, just as his fate stems from his
character.

Existence and nonexistence are not a dual opposite set of categories, hence the spontaneous
upwelling of being. That these spontaneous upwellings of being exhibit rationality implies that
the being underlying the broken duality of existence and nonexistence is itself rational. The
coherence theory of truth admits of indefinite number of levels of truth because being admits a
similarly unlimited number of levels of coherence and hence truth is merely relative in the case of
coherence truth. This is very much opposed to the case of correspondence truth, which implies
an absolute truth. Analysis of the correspondence relation in the correspondence theory of truth
implies the existence of a Gods-eye view. On the other hand, analysis of the coherence
relation in the coherence theory of truth implies the existence of Divine Providence. Divine will
and representation (c.f., Schopenhauer) constitute poles of existence and manifestation of
fundamental being.

Logic is an artifact of or a structuring (rather than a general structure, i.e., structural element) of
consciousness. Logic as a structuring of consciousness rather than a general structure of
consciousness, means that other structurings of consciousness are generally possible. Logic is to
causality as uncertainty is to consciousness. All information is a reduction of uncertainty so
says Shannon information theory. What about other kinds of manipulation of uncertainty, which
may correlate with quantities akin to information but basically different from it? Now what is
called Shannon information is really more properly called Shannon negentropy or Shannon
data. We know that quantum uncertainty, for example is degenerate with respect to correlated
changes in quantum expectation values and quantum fluctuations, which is to say, correlated
changes in boundary conditions and underlying dynamics constrained by the boundary conditions.

GIGO, garbage in, garbage out, in other words, computers can only do what we tell them to do,
and what we can tell them to do is, in essence, prove theorems. This is where Goedels
Incompleteness Theorem comes into play. We cant tell a computer to prove a theorem,
however intuitively true the theorem might be to us, if this theorem is not either an axiom, or
provable from the axioms via the rules of inference, which have already been programmed into the
computer. And what Godel taught us is that there is no mutually self-consistent set of axioms
and rules of logical inference that can prove all true theorems (from number theory). Of course,
any computer that operates by exploiting quantum uncertainty is no longer limited by an axiomatic
system of rules of inference.

Past and future are inchoate and underdetermined in fundamentally different ways. The past is
inchoate by virtue of quantum mechanical uncertainty and the openness of the past to reprocessing
in light of newly emergent data further up the timeline. (Information is the reduction of
uncertainty, but uncertainty of what type, and how does Shannon uncertainty relate to both
quantum mechanical and intuitive (or human) uncertainty?) The future is inchoate because the
finer details of the future have yet to be worked out. This notion of the future already being
present though in inchoate form and that the passage of time merely serves to flesh out the
details of the future as present points up the multidimensionality of time, but doesnt quite
succeed in shedding light on times mysterious flow.

There are three basic forms of solipsism. There is the basic form wherein, I alone exist and other
people are merely projections from my own unconsciousness, much in the same way that dream
characters are projections. The second form is where other minds exist, but the principle of
operation of these other psyches is alien relative to that of my own. The third form is where
other minds exist and their mode of operation is akin to how my own mind operates with one
important exception: I am the only altruistic human being others only appear, sometimes or not,
to possess altruistic motivations. The possibility of comparing minds to one another
presupposes some overarching context within which the comparison might be made, i.e.,
differences are never absolute but always subsist within a system of difference. Why shouldnt
individual consciousnesses be just as mutually irreconcilable and incommensurate as is the
volition of distinct individuals?

Identity secretly requires numerical identity. For your perception of A to be similar to my
perception of A, your perception of B must be identical to my perception of C. Note that we did
not say that the similarity of my and your perceptions implied the identity of my perception of A to
your perception of B, but rather implied the identity of my perception of B with your perception of
C. This is because for it to be meaningful to compare the perceptions of distinct minds, these
perceptions must be either reproducible phenomena or each members of an abstract category or
class. If each perception, regardless of whose it is, is an utterly unique and individual occurrence,
then the problem that we face is not that of solipsism, but of something perhaps worse, the
non-existence of mind absolutely. The question of solipsism involves the technical issue of how
the coherence and continuity of a single consciousness relates to the coherence and continuity
of consciousness across distinct individuals. My perception of A must be identical to your
perception of other object, B that is capable of existing, that is, my perception of A must be
identical to some perception of which you are capable in order for it to be rightfully said that your
perception of A and mine are similar.

So how should we point to P-consciousness?
Well, one way is via rough synonyms. As I said, P-consciousness is experience. P-conscious
properties are experiential properties. P-conscious states are experiential states, that is, a state is
P-conscious if it has experiential properties. The totality of the experiential properties of a state are
\what it is like" to have it, c.f.,
cit=
Why Did Evolution Engineer Consciousness? (Selmer
Bringsjord, 2000). My subjective experience of some particular quale must at least in principle
be continuously deformable into a quale, which would constitute one of your subjective
experiences of a quale and not mine. For if it is not, then 1) there is no general concept of
consciousness and 2) mind-metaphysical solipsism is the case. The consequences 1) and 2) are
intimately connected via a logic that would have been heartily appreciated by the Christian
philosopher,
au=
Alvin Plantinga, especially while he was gripped by the very insight that led him to
write his epic treatise of theological apologetics,
cit=
God and Other Minds. The only thing which
prevents what is merely mind-metaphysical solipsism from collapsing into metaphysical
solipsism itself, is the notion, explicit or implicit, is that there is an objective point of view from
which the otherwise irretrievably distinct subjective experiences of two persons are not totally
incommensurate qua subjective experience. This is to say, that there is a point of view from
which the subjective experiences of two persons are not merely posited as analogous, but indeed
actually are so! Here we are talking about analogy as not only metaphor, but as a bona fide
concept, as well.

A kind of algebraic syllogism (instead of an algebraic equation), e.g., I think therefore X, X,
therefore God exists. Something like this should fall out of the solipsistic deduction from the
anthropic cosmological principle (in light of the logic of the last chapter of Plantingas God and
Other Minds).

Thermodynamically usable energy is intersubjective data. The information is conserved through
an involution of initial high entropy of the universes data into quantum (nonlocally-correlated)
information in the form of information encoded into conscious states. An example of
thermodynamically nonusable energy that nonetheless possesses information content would be
energy possessing causality violating, e.g., time-paradox-generating information.

Gravitational entropy seems at odds with the normal thermodynamic definition of entropy as
equilibrium or homogeneous mixtures, e.g., greater gravitational clumping is associated with
higher rather than lower states of entropy.

Hp-th/0310022, Notes on Spacetime Thermodynamics and Observer-dependence of Entropy,
suggests that the relativistic change in the surface area of a black hole is due to relativistic changes
in the black holes entropy, which in turn implies a relativistic shift in the quantum statistics of the
vacuum constituting the holes event horizon. The intimate relationship of vacuum entropy and
the quantum statistics of vacuum energy bear much closer study.

Examine the relativistic shift in probability density associated with the quantum mechanical
distribution function in light of changes in the statistics of creation of virtual fermions and bosons
within the quantum vacuum.

Spacetime must be generated by some fundamental quantum process such that internal symmetries
underpin spacetime symmetry. Timelike and spacelike exchange particles are the spin 1 and
spin 0 composite particles. Perhaps the distinction between timelike and spacelike as normally
understood in relativity theory cuts across the distinction of these two concepts as adapted for
describing exchange of force-carrying particles.

If the unknown is a multiplicity and the known does not constitute a mere negation of the
unknown, but is a processing of it, then there is a possibility of the unity of knowledge against the
backdrop of an unknown that is itself a many rather than a unified unknown.

One must adopt the same attitude the sophisticated philosopher of science takes toward the part of
nature that remains unknown to science as one takes towards that which is remains unknown to
one about another person, that is, as not being a mere extension of the known part. There must
always be room for transformative revelation concerning both nature and the other.

Vacuum degeneracy is necessary for the reversibility upon which delayed choice experimental
results depend.

What complications are posed for the quantum measurement problem given the freedom human
experimenters have in manipulating variables connected with the configuring of the measurement
apparatuses?

Any superluminal communication between distinct minds would necessarily be conveyed via a
vacuum stated in which the vacua embedding the heretofore two distinct minds become fused in a
way which acts to defeat the intersubjective transmission of information, i.e., the two minds
become for a moment a single consciousness. Any information resulting from this superluminal,
infrasubjective transmission of information between two nonlocally connected parts of the
momentary composite consciousness would appear to outsiders, i.e., minds other than the
momentary composite mind, as the origination of insight by the composite mind that would prove
to be 1) nonformalizable and 2) causality transcending.

Using an applied magnetic field can induce Feshbach resonance in a Fermi-degenerate gas,
resulting in either net attraction or repulsion of the Cooper pairs within the gas, c.f., Scientific
American October 2003 article, The Next Big Chill.

The quantum nonlocal correlations about which J. S. Bell has written so much cannot be explained
in terms of the action of hidden local variables, i.e., in terms of processes taking place within the
spacetime continuum. This is where the nonformalizable nature of the human mind must reside.
But Bohms observation, so frequently mentioned in these writings, that (local) causal connections
are equivalent to certain types of, i.e., nonlocal correlations of the spontaneously-occurring
quantum fluctuations implies that spacetime is a construction out of nonlocally correlated quantum
fluctuations (vacuum fluctuations) so that the spacetime continuum may be properly thought of as
a kind of epiphenomenon arising from a system of quantum nonlocally-connected,
Heisenberg-uncertain fluctuations in the vacuums momentum-energy. Thus the principle of
the coherence of any unified system (true substance) must lie altogether outside of space and time.
A perfect example of a coherent, unified system whose principle of unity and coherence must be
sought outside spacetime is, of course the conscious mind.


The episodes of ones life, particularly those occurring in ones youth become akin to favorites
volumes on display in the library in ones study.

Here then is the methodological paradox for adherents on either side of the metaphysical question
of whether reality is a one or a many: adherents of an absolute use relativistic categories; absolute
categories are invoked by those who adhere to a relativistic viewpoint. This tends to suggest that
the distinction of relativistic vs. absolute is not a real distinction. It seems that relative and
absolute may only be reconciled within an infinite system of categories. The categories remain
relativistic within such a system because of the categories mutual interdependence, i.e., categories
defined in terms of other categories, defined in terms of other categories, etc., which are ultimately
defined in terms of themselves (via an infinite chain of definitions). Heideggers
transcendental horizonal repositioning, i.e., thinking would involve a reconstitution of the
infinite system of categories into another infinite set.

Is there any possible empirical distinction between the continuity of self-consciousness and the
continuity of consciousness proper or as such? The answer seems to be that there isnt any since
empirical is coextensive with experiential, i.e., self-consciously experiential. And the continuity
of self-consciousness is conditioned by the intersubjective physics of brain physiological
processes that encode the socially constructed self. This socially constructed self is mediated
by linguistic categories (of course, according to Chomsky, grounded in the genetically
predetermined potentialities of speech acts and grammar) inherited from our social forebears via
brute mimesis upon which the individual innately generalizes or abstracts, in combination with
operant conditioning imposed on the individual by his culture and society. In this way, all
allegedly absolute categories claimed by the individual self are in actuality merely relative to the
process of acculturation and social construction. Absolutes function here solely as asymptotes
for exclusively relativistic categories.

Is there a parallelism between the genomic and phenomic rugged fitness landscapes, which is
related to the necessity of an environment corresponding to each coherent genome? There is no
clear distinction between the genome and its mechanism of expression, c.f., Monods observation
in Chance and Necessity concerning the arbitrariness of the genetic code, i.e., the genetic
language releases biology from the strictures of chemical determinism. Somehow, the ribosome
enables this disconnect between biology and chemistry despite the ribosome being itself a
phenotypic expression of the organisms own genome.

If Being has no fixed nature, then there must be a mechanism by which the ground of being forgets
lower levels of being so as to express being on higher levels. This is the kick-ladder
mechanism of the evolution of being.

The case value of the concept of free will is a facility on the part of the individual to adjust his
psychological parameter, especially those affecting his motivation to perceived cues from his
social and political environment. In this sense are consciousness, specifically self-consciousness
and so-called free will most importantly, that is practically interrelated.

It is said that, the stream cannot rise higher than its source. The principle of natural selection
of random variation seems to belie this principle, unless 1) variation is not really random and/or 2)
selection is not really natural.

The essence of consciousness is metaphoricity. Each individuals brain, which is that
individuals interface to the intersubjective realm is tuned to that individuals vacuum state (at
least while the individual is conscious), while other individuals brains are off-resonance with
the first individuals vacuum state, c.f., quantum solipsistic principle (akin to the cosmological
Anthropic principle). Since other minds operate within what might be termed alien vacuum
states, experimentation upon the brains associated with other minds must reveal a fundamentally
different principle of the connection of mind and body than would self-experimentation, if per
impossible this kind of self-experimentation could be conducted (this reminds us of the situation in
which certain initial or boundary conditions are possible, but which could never come into play
through the dynamics operating by themselves, e.g., checkmate of King by Knight). So the
intersubjective science of mental dynamics must always be complemented by subjective science
(such a science is possible in principle but not in actual practice, which brings up an important
distinction). It is the distinctiveness of the quantum vacuum state that characterizes the
distinctiveness (and uniqueness) of the physical manifestation of the consciousness of each
individual mind.

The temporal protection safeguard cannot be implemented in accordance with deterministic
causality. The safeguarding of the timeline is by avoidance of mere probabilities, which
represent alternate timelines. The causal discontinuity is in the form of reduction of the quantum
mechanical state vector.

Only in an accelerated reference frame does the vacuum possess a mass.



The time axis at the event horizon of a black hole is perpendicular to the surface of the hole while
the space axis is the black hole surface itself. Thus are the time and space axes of the black hole
exchanged at its event horizon.

Interminable metaphysical questions do not point so much to the indeterminacy of reality as they
do to the limitations of the human mind. These questions occupy what might be termed the
poles or asymptotes of the human rational-cognitive fabric.


One theory is that we only possess consciousness through a self, i.e., self-consciousness as a
unified structure of consciousness such that the essence of personal identity may only be falsely
attributed to the timeless and eternal substance of consciousness as such. On this view, the
individual consciousness is wholly parasitic upon indeterminate, oceanic consciousness. The
intersubjective nature of objectivity suggests the contrary to this, however, namely that
consciousness as such is individual in nature, while so-called individual consciousness is merely a
social construct. Each of us is just one small element of the texture of the social landscape that
each of us also occupies and moves through. It is possibly this essential fact of human existence
(not often articulated to oneself) from which we derive the metaphor serving as our philosophy of
the intersubjective nature of objective reality.
August 2012
Time is thought to be a feature of
objective reality by some, utterly subjective by others. A confusion arises from the failure to
carefully distinguish two quite different kinds of time so distinct, in fact, that they should more
likely be indexed by two completely different concept names, e.g., time vs. space, etc.
Subjective time is subjective appears to be a tautology, although evidence can be posited in
support of this assertion, for example, the amount of time separating the event of my birth from
some important event in my later adult life, e.g., college graduation, marriage, etc., seems so much
greater in duration to me than the objectively equal amount of time separating that important event
from the present moment in which I recollect it.

Because of the fundamentally innate linguistic capacities of the human mind, radical differences
may exist between individual human consciousnesses that are routinely adequately bridged by
verbal and nonverbal communications. At some point each of us bumps into the barrier of the
fundamental incommensurability of human conceptualization (at its subtlest level) and are forced
to retreat into the safety of our own subjectivity, which is the solipsistic reality of the self. What
comes with this is a deeply held inner knowledge of our own rightness and the basically alien
nature of the rational-cognitive processes of the other person. The other does not know ones past
or the personal reasons for all of the choices one has made that have conspired to define ones
social and socially-constructed identity. But if the other is reasonably intelligent and socially
well adjusted and were to be given per impossible a tour of ones biography, certain patterns of
ones character (what Santayana terms ones destiny, c.f., character is destiny) would
immediately become apparent to such a tourist, patterns that one actively avoids perceiving in
oneself through a lifelong system of excuse, evasion and self misdirection. In this way, the ego
preserves its high opinion of itself, its self-supporting worldview, its view of its own talents and
capabilities, its moral and ethical qualities, as well as the egos representation to itself of its own
character. The egos self-preservation program is fundamentally what might be called
anti-necrophilic (in Fromms sense of necrophilic). Sometimes the egos impulse to protect
itself by resisting the efforts of others to casually deconstruct the ego (and reveal the egos
fundamentally dissociative nature as being something less than a true ego) converts from that of
passive defense to that of a proactive, preemptive defense. It is at precisely at this point that the
ego embarks upon its necrophilic project. This project, again, is perhaps really nothing more than
a kind of preemptive defense by the ego against what it perceives as a conspiracy of deconstructive
attacks directed against its integrity or against its authenticity as a self. The ego is merely
attempting to defend itself against others attempts to interfere with the egos mechanisms of
self-validation, which constitute the tactical support for the egos survival and growth strategies.
The underachieving ego, not possessing adequate empirical data about itself, e.g., its capabilities
(revealed by overcoming fears, meeting challenges and problem solving) and character traits
(revealed by social interaction with peers), must substitute assumptions for facts about itself within
the tissue of its impresario-like self-representation. Humility in the face of a higher objective
reality is built up through first hand experiences in which less and less of the parameters of
experience are controls. Debate and competition with peers develops respect for the reality of
the other and his world/worldview.

In the same way that ones recognition vocabulary is considerably greater than is ones working
vocabulary (within a 2
nd
language) so is ones understanding significantly greater than ones
creativity until with work and experience the two are brought much more into line. This is why
demonstrations are always so much easier to follow than to execute oneself. The inexperienced
individual cannot fully appreciate the large divide separating observation from demonstration.

The egos expansiveness is kept in check through a conscious or (usually) unconscious knowledge
of the reality of Karma and the faithful sureness of its action. The action of Karma is essentially
ironic, as well as synchronistic, pointing to the intimate entanglement of the will and
consciousness of individual and collective persons. Human moral action does not operate then
on merely a single plane, but on many distinct planes simultaneously.

Paradoxically, since scientific theories only relate classes of individuals (rather than individuals
themselves), scientific theories have nothing to say about physical processes. The only stuff
that is truly concrete is, following William James, experience. In an important sense, then, the
mind is not composed of the brain but just the converse of this is true. Causal deterministic
relationships are essentially abstract in nature, i.e., relationships of classes of individuals and so
paradoxically, the causal powers of the mind, c.f., Searle, are not where one should look for
explanation of the minds causal efficacy.

Whatever quantum process is responsible for decoherence of a system (long before the system has
a complexity approaching that of Schrodingers Cat) is somehow held at bay by the physical
processes underlying conscious states of awareness. Consciousness is likely then a variety of
quantum coherent state (though perhaps one not yet observed, except from inside).
Consciousness is characterized by its own internal temporal evolution, i.e., temporality. But
heres a point: Mankinds science is not ever going to discover a physical process more complex
and subtler than that fundamental, which crucially underlies consciousness as such. Moreover,
the individual shall not ever discover and come to understand a process subtler than that of his own
individual state of consciousness. But are the processes underlying the operation of any given
individuals consciousness necessarily subtler than those underlying consciousness as such (and
what could we possibly mean by subtler here?)?

In the CSI episode, Bully for You, Grissom informs brass at the crime scene that were looking
for a coward. He says this because the victim has been shot three times in the back while taking
a leak at a restroom urinal. The word coward is a very emotionally charged descriptor. The
use of such a word had transformative power over the minds of those seeking their interpretation of
human events. The cowards actions are, of course, perpetrated by him for his own peculiar and
highly personal reasons - reasons which internally and in combination with one another do not
appear as cowardice to the perpetrator himself.

The momentum is conserved for each individual component of the four momentum. The
acceleration of a mass may be modeled as a continuous collision in four-dimensional spacetime.
Discuss the conservation of momentum of 4-d spacetime collisions. There is a limit to
relativistic mass density increase (due to relativistic mass increase and length contraction) defined
by the creation of a black hole density. This limit is presumably reached prior to the speed of
light being reached. Is something similar the case where a matter distribution gradually
collapses into a black hole?

DNA metaphors serve to free the genome from the deterministic strictures of molecular chemistry.

Certain persons resist the dissociative gaze of the sociopathic personality. Consequently in this
rare instance the person appears as a whole, creative and free agent, much as any individual person
typically appears to the normal, well-adjusted, non-sociopathic personality. The intact and
integrated, harmonious and well-adjusted selfhood that utterly escapes the sociopathic personality
is not parading around right before this disturbed individuals eyes. Such individuals function as
indictments of the woefully less-than-adequate personhood of the sociopathic personality.

Construction of tenuous metaphors forms the basis of the acquisition of a 2

The condition of E
0
greater than 0 is as necessary as well as sufficient condition for SUSY
(supersymmetry) to be spontaneously broken.


A superspace is an extension of ordinary spacetime to the one with spin degrees of freedom.

On account of the spin-statistics theorem of quantum mechanics, the Lorenz spacetime symmetry
group is a subgroup of the overall spacetime symmetry group, c. f., Supersymmetry in Quantum
and Classical Mechanics.

Theorem: Any finite sequence of integers is contained within the decimal series expansion of pi.
How many different ways can any (all) (random) finite sequences of integers be contained within a
decimal expansion of a transcendental number?

It is clear that if one attempted to demonstrate the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) effect within a
measurably curved region of spacetime that the effect would have to break down due to the
decoherence of the wavefunction heretofore connecting the two spacelike-separated particles.

Otherwise observer A shall have succeeded in informing B about the structure of spacetime along
the entire spacelike interval separating these two observers. Note: how can the two observers be
purely spacelike separated in each is located at a different gravitational potential than the other?

Is the prohibition against superluminal transmission of information (as opposed to energy per se)
really only a prohibition against dense sampling of a spacetime interval at a rate implying a
superluminal velocity?

This is because the EPR effect requires instantaneous propagation of the influence of one particles
spin state being measured upon the spin orientation of the other spacelike-separated particle and
for the measured spins of the particles to cancel so that overall spin is conserved.
But what if experimenter-B had decided early enough to conduct the spin measurement so that the
process in his brain where this decision occurred could be timelike-connected to both particles A
and B? (This presents us with a lead on a possible hidden variables theory for quantum nonlocal
connection. Backwards propagation of subquantum information from the same moment in two
distinct reference frames in which each particle of the pair is located and undergoes collapse of its
local spin eigenstate must take place.

This would work only if experimenter-Bs brain is protected against some unforeseen physical
influence between the time he makes the decision to perform the key spin measurement of particle
A and the time that he actually does perform this measurement on particle A (which defines the
spacelike interval by which particles A and B are separated at the moment that experimenter A
carries out his quantum measurement upon particle A). The alternate inertial frames in which
the passage of the instantaneous influence of A upon B correspond to the alternate inertial frames
in which an observer stationed at particle B may perform a quantum measurement of the spin of
particle B. But the observer must have decided to perform his spin measurement upon particle
A at the very instant (or before) the composite particle decays to produce the component particles
A and B in order for his decision to conduct the spin measurement is to become timelike connected
to A and B at the moment that he later actually does perform the spin measurement.

The spacetime curvature along the geodesic connecting the particles (which geodesic we choose is
observer/reference frame dependent, by the way) must be effectively sampled by whatever
constitutes the influence connecting the two particles along the geodesic path separating the
particles. The question comes up at this point whether the path connecting the particles is that by
which the particles originally became separated itself a timelike geodesic or the spacelike
geodesic instantaneously connecting the particles in say, observer-As inertial frame.

The communication of the decoherence of the film emulsion of camera-A to the quantum state
of the film emulsion of camera-B cannot be exploited as a mechanism for the superluminal
transmission of information between observer-A and observer-B.

Hidden variable theories invoke additional conserved quantities while they revise the heretofore
conservative nature of other physical quantities. Factoring a wavefunction without respecting
the ordering of the conserved quantities contributing to the construction of the system Hamiltonian
(from which the wavefunction is deduced) results in the selecting of statistically mixed
components (factors) of the wavefunction.

There is nothing special about the human intellect in the grand scheme of the universe this
despite frequent narcissistic inner promptings of the human spirit, and yet the universe is
compre-hensible. But a sentient being can occupy any position whatever along the continuum
of intellect and the Universe still will appear comprehensible to him, provided that this universe
possesses a kind of compartmentalized, hierarchical structure and behavior. If, on the other
hand, the individual does not possess the capacity of intellect whereby the universe may in some
form or fashion appear to him comprehensible, then the fact of the universes being
incomprehensible would never become known to the individual in question. Of course the mind
of any being to which the Universe shall manifest comprehensibility must itself also possess
specially adapted powers of discrimination and classification that properly mesh with the Universe
at one of its compartmentalized levels of complexity.

Any beings perception of the world must be an open system, regardless of how highly evolved is
this beings nervous system. The world is an open system as well, infinitely complexly
structured, though this infinite complexity of structure is as it were staggered in layers. (This is
related to the idea of the convergence of an infinite series or to the idea of the renormalizability of
quantum field theories.) This bespeaks a robustness of the natural order, which in turn bespeaks
of Providence. As the description of reality at a particular level approaches completion and
closure the way becomes open for further revelation concerning new structures at a next level. If
these higher level structures are just simply awaiting us to evolve intellectually and scientifically
enough to perceive and categorize them, then the hierarchical structure of reality would have to be
a static affair, a closed system in other words. But if reality reacts to our attempts to more fully
cognize it, then reality becomes an open system in which man becomes the co-creator of being.
And if the infrastructure of being is of such nature as to invite this type of co-creation, then there
must be a creator as such. Consciousness armed with intellect guarantees the Universe shall
reveal itself to be this kind of compartmentalized, hierarchically-structured though infinitely
complex/inexhaustible field for beings expression.

Ask yourself the question (within the context of the question of this discussion, of course), how
would nature appear to a being who possesses our same sensory organs and inputs as well as all of
our same technology for amplifying our powers of perception utilizing said sense organs, but who
is blessed with an IQ of 5,000? (What is the fundamentally naive assumption embodied in this
type of hypothetical question, which nonetheless does not quite succeed in invalidating the point of
this question? (This is an inadvertent example of compartmentalization.) This hypothetical
question, though admittedly naively posed nonetheless succeeds in pointing up the narcissistic
basis of naive realism itself and that of its more sophisticated cousins, scientific naive realism
and philosophical naive realism. Concerning the implicit naive assumption embodied in our
above hypothetical question, the concept of an intelligence registering 5,000 on the graph of IQ is
misguided in that the notion of IQ scale implies a kind of parallel in the linear progression in the
degree of intellects manifest nature along with linear increase in IQ. But any science fiction
buff knows that when IQs become exorbitant, altogether new phenomena begin to emerge, e.g.,
telepathy, telekinesis, clairvoyance, etc. Similarly, at the other end of the IQ scale, basic abilities
that admit of degrees within the bulk of the bell curve distribution suddenly begin to drop off
altogether as in cases of profound retardation. (Does this question of the
compartmentalization of the Universes comprehensibleness bear any underlying relationship to
the paradox presented by the apparent hyperfine-tuning of the phenotypic viability and genotypic
chemical stability fitness landscapes?) There must be an open-ended upward spectrum of
potential threats to both the individual and society that simply do not come into play until the
individual and society have reached a certain higher level of development. Somehow the genetic
base pair language represents a basement common denominator for bits of adaptability, in which
lower always dovetails into higher. This may suggest to some that the world of man is largely
one of his own creations, once man has succeeded in freeing himself from the brute-level threats to
his survival in a harsh and threatening physical environment. But the mystery of the
unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics in the physical sciences does not allow us to explain
away things quite so easily. One way for this compartmentalized, hierarchical structure to be
effected might be through the compartmentalization of quantum nonlocal effects via limiting their
observance to being subjective, i.e., individual and not collective. Consensus upon the
appearance of the individually manifesting nonlocal effects shall perhaps inform the next level in
the hierarchy of causally effective dynamics of the world system.

Natures quantum nonlocal behavior always ultimately originates in the vacuum state of the
consciousness of the individual observer. There are no intersubjective nonlocal effects since the
presence or action of such effects would violate the special relativistic prohibition on superluminal
propagation of energy and/or information. So there is an important difference between the
superluminal propagation of the action of an individuals free will upon the quantum vacuum from
the hypothetical case of the influence of the freely willed decision by observer A upon some
spacelike separated observer B. Couldnt A affect the quantum systems probability distribution
through a series of measurements conducted by him on his half of the system, which would result
in a skewing of the probabilities deduced for the system by B through the series of
measurements conducted by B on his half of the system? How would the underlying vacuum
state of the system have to react to the measurements of the system conducted by A and B in order
that neither A nor B succeed in transmitting information to the other experimenter? The
dynamics of the conspiratorial action of the vacuum in counteracting all attempts by conscious
quantum observers to transmit information over spacelike intervals say, through some dynamic
structuring of Heisenberg uncertainty of physical observables, must be importantly wrapped up in
the very dynamics of the consciousness-processes that underlie all possible acts of observation by
said quantum experimenters/observers. There are two impulses to dynamically structure the
Heisenberg uncertainties; one of these comes from the vacuum state of the quantum system being
observed, the other, from the vacuum states of the two quantum observers. So here we have a
unified vacuum process (the one underlying the unity of the spacelike separated parts of the
quantum system in question) versus a composite vacuum state. In other words, we have here the
opposition of an intersubjective vacuum with two subjective vacua.

Expectations of the observer affect how the experimental apparatus is set up. But the reaction of
the system to observer expectations should be symmetrical, e.g., spin-1/2 measurements.
Conscious observation involves perception of observables of physical quantities smaller than their
respective quantum uncertainties. Note that virtual-real distinction is founded upon magnitude
relative to that of corresponding Heisenberg uncertainties.

Whats the difference between context free data that code information from such data that code for
no information? Only the origin of the data determines or decides this. By what physical trace
is the deciding imprint of mind/consciousness placed upon the physical realization of data?
Origin and continuity are substantial or substance-based rather than formalizable. Is pure,
substantial continuity the deciding factor here? If so, then we have to ask what is the symmetry
and/or the space informed by this symmetry, if any, corresponding to the degeneracy of substance?
This space would perhaps constitute the true ground of being, further support for the theory of the
intersubjective nature of objectivity.

Shannon entropy can never exhaust thermodynamic entropy because (in part) the universe is
physically real and not secretly a simulation. Otherwise, no physical substrate world be left over
with which to mediate switching and relaying of signals if Shannon entropy ever exhausted the
thermodynamic entropy. Hawking radiation contains no data (local interaction content), but
pure information in the form of nonlocal quantum correlations. What does this important fact
about the composition of Hawking radiation tell us about the nature of the only three quantities
preserved after the collapse of a black hole? The frequency spectrum of the Hawking radiation
emitted by the hole gives us the temperature of the hole which also gives us the surface gravity and
hence the mass of the hole. The polarization of the Hawking radiation gives us the other two
quantities characterizing the hole, i.e., its electric charge and angular momentum. Is it possible
that the information about the conserved quantities of the black hole are not coded into the
quantum fluctuation-correlation structure of the holes coupled vacuum state, but nonetheless
contained within the mass-energy of the hole? If so, then this is the only part of the hole that
relates to the physically real nature of the hole (and of all that is physically real). Searles
causal powers are to be sought in these physical quantities, mass, angular momentum and
charge.

Thermodynamic interactions are local/causal in nature. Local interactions compressed onto
surface of the black hole and are reconstituted as nonlocal correlations across the holes surface.
Holographic principle of black hole entropy must be connected in some way with quantum
nonlocality.

The two distinct paths of electrons through the two-slit apparatus are abstract counterfactuals, not
actual physical paths. The absence of any real trajectory for any electron moving through the
apparatus suggests that the electron paths are merely potentialities coded through patterns of
quantum correlations within the vacuum fluctuations crowding the corridor so to speak between
the electron gun and the phosphorescent backstop of the apparatus.

It is perhaps important to recall the theory of nonlocal perception. This theory should perhaps be
just a component of a much larger theory of the nonlocal action of consciousness. Be this as it
may, an analogy shall suffice to here illustrate: boundary conditions are to dynamics as local is to
nonlocal. What does this mean for the theory of perception? Namely, that the physical
positioning of the experimenters sensory organs, relative to the experimental apparatuses and
measuring devices with which he is engaged determines what the experimenter ultimately
observes according to the following. The position of the experimenter (rather, his sensory
organs) determines what he sees in the same way that a systems wavefunction is determined by
the classical physical boundary conditions imposed upon the fundamentally quantum mechanical
dynamics of the ground state in which the system is to be embedded. The experimenter then
does not receive information about the quantum state of the system he observes in the direct
manner supposed by what might be called scientific naive realism. In other words, the state
of the system is not conveyed to the consciousness of the experimenter by virtue of information
about the systems state being carried directly to the experimenters sensory organs (as amplified
through instrumentation available to him). Rather this information us input directly to the
consciousness of the experimenter as a quantum superposition the structure of which has been
determined by the complete set of classically defined boundary conditions (experimenters body to
include his sensory organs + experimental apparatus + system).

Are the electron paths then determined via mutual interference between the electron emission and
collision Heisenberg uncertainties? Quantum measurement as a local interaction calls forth
information coded in the nonlocal correlations of quantum fluctuations occurring at the points of
emission and quantum measurement. Propagation of energy through vacuum requires temporal
ordering of heretofore-uncorrelated quantum fluctuations of the vacuums momentum-energy.
Nonlocal correlations of two quantum fluctuations prevent them from being time-ordered by a
causal process.

Might the two-slit experiment be performed with human beings playing the role of the particles
moving through the two-slit apparatus with the free willed (though essentially random) decisions
as to which slit to pass through serving as the quantum mechanical amplitude describing a
particles state of motion?

Can the interference pattern of the two-slit experiment be explained wholly in terms of the
indeterminacy of the spacetime point of emission of the particles through the apparatus?

Whenever the system undergoes transition to an energy not already contained within the systems
spectrum of Heisenberg-uncertain energy does the temporal evolution of the system have to be
described as real, i.e., involving transformations, reactions or interactions of real, as opposed to
merely virtual particles. The performing of an energy measurement upon one of a pair of
nonlocally connected particles can only result in the other, spacelike separated particle taking on
one of the energies already contained within that particles Heisenberg-uncertain energy. An
energy measurement yielding an energy eigenvalue not among the set of possible eigenvalues as
determined by the particle pairs wavefunction must cause the state of the particle pair system to
enter a statistically mixed state, i.e., one possessing an intrinsic entropy. The information
associated with this entropy cannot be retrieved without a second, independent measurement being
performed on the 2
nd
particle of the pair and the result of this measurement being communicated to
an experimenter located at he first particle or the state of the 1
st
particle being communicated to the
experimenter located at the 2
nd
particle. In either case, the time required for the retrieval of the
information about the mixed state of the particle pair is equal or greater to the spacetime interval
separating the particles divided by the speed of light. Though here in this case the influence may
only be carried from one particle of the pair to the other particle via a causal influence limited by
the speed of light. This is why quantum measurement only yields information at the cost of the
production of some appropriate quantity of entropy.

Are the effects of the observer upon a system upon which he conducts a quantum measurement
equivalently accounted for by invoking either the observers free will or his individual
consciousness? Correlations of quantum fluctuations are of two basic types, quantum and
classical physical. Is it the case that local interactions are alternately described in terms of
classical correlations of quantum fluctuations, i.e., semi-classical correlations, while nonlocal
interactions are only alternately described in terms of quantum correlations?

Finding the right trick to properly renormalizing the quantum vacuums energy has all along been
thought to hold the promise of finally reconciling quantum mechanics and general relativity and so
for solving the cosmological constant problem. Study of Feynmann vacuum diagrams reveals
that all virtual particle interactions are composed of transformations of and reactions between
spin-1 and spin-1/2 particles. In a properly renormalized quantum vacuum, one in which the
vast bulk of the quantum vacuum does not gravitate, the contributions to the vacuums inertial
energy by each of the two fundamental types of particles must largely cancel, and in the complete
absence of gravitational fields, i.e., matter, this cancellation must be exact. The symmetry of
free spacetime is broken by the presence of gravitational fields, which paradoxically are at he
same time responsible for space and time becoming fused into a continuous spacetime manifold.
To reiterate, the paradox of the gravitational field is that it is responsible for the symmetry of
spacetime, as well as for the breaking of this symmetry.

It is simple to see that binding energy, though negative in magnitude must produce the same
gravitational effect as an equivalent quantity of energy positive in magnitude. This is because
the gravitational charge is not the energy content of mass per se, but the kinetic energy
associated with the timelike imaginary 4-momentum of the intrinsic energy of mass. Note that
the kinetic energy of the timelike motion of mass is always negative; suggesting that perhaps it is
only bound energy, i.e., binding energy that gravitates. An implication of this is that the large
quantum-chaotic component of the nearly infinite energy of the quantum vacuum does not in fact
gravitate due to this energy possessing no internal or external quantum or classical correlations.
Further scholarly research is needed at this juncture concerning the distinction of classical vs.
quantum fluctuations and correlations.

So maximal information storage in matter/entropy is induced when the energy fluctuations
remaining have become maximally quantum nonlocally correlated. The quantity of vacuum
energy possesses a mass equal to that of the black hole thus formed. So only half of the
mass of a black hole can be accounted for by the masses of the particles going into the hole.
Therefore a gravitationally closed universe would constitute a cosmological black hole in
which the density of mass energy and the cosmological constant, i.e., global density of the
vacuums energy are of exactly equal magnitude. The mechanism by which mass is
generated from within the nonlocally connected vacuum appears altogether different from that
sustaining the mass of the black hole itself, though the respective contributions of each
component are at all times equal throughout the process of the mass gravitational collapse into
a black hole. The equivalence in the mass of mass energy and vacuum energy is a direct
outcome of Bohms equivalence principle (of local causal interactions with nonlocal
correlation of quantum fluctuations). The mass of a black hole must be renormalized relative
to (no pun intended) the mass predicted for the black hole by general relativity theory on
account of the massiveness the quantum vacuum takes on by virtue of nonlocal correlations of
quantum fluctuations of its energy. These considerations perhaps suggest that the spacelike
versus timelike quality of spacetime are determined by the nature of the quantum fluctuations
in the energy of a vacuum of unlimited dimensionality.

This points up how it is not really energy fluctuation itself or per se that drives temporal change,
but also the absence of nonlocal correlation of these vacuum energy fluctuations. (nonlocally
connected fluctuations are mutually simultaneous)

It is uncorrelated fluctuation energy that mediates decoherence and temporal change. Black hole
entropy/information loss paradox may be soluble using this interpretation of
time-decoherence-entropy-information. Decay times are underwritten so to speak by
decoherence times. The metric must a la Bohms equivalence principle, be determined by the
correlation-fluctuation structure of momentum-energy.

Uncorrelated vacuum energy does not gravitate. (Matter introduces the correlations) Only
energy radiating from the surface of a black hole should be totally uncorrelated (suggests black
hole binds the vacuum into a crystal) Information is not lost, but is the correlations coding for the
matter in the collapsed mass.

Do we have a basis for distinguishing gravitational from inertial mass? But the entropy of the
hole must be coded into Planck mass cells of 100% entangled/ quantum nonlocally correlated
fluctuations of the vacuums energy, c.f., deriving black hole mass from its entropy stored on the
holes surface (tautology argument). Preferred cosmological frame (it Planck mass were greater
than black hole mass and hole entropy were 0). (Nonlocal mediating local interactions)


Planck mass as specifying the limit of Lorentz invariance.

There is a continual altering of the boundary conditions, which offsets the natural dynamics of the
molecule as dictated by the laws of chemistry. The genome with advancing age of the
organism begins to express more and more of the intrinsic underlying chemical dynamics of the
molecule and less of the evolutionarily programmed-in behavior of the molecule, i.e., the molecule
begins to more express itself in a context-free manner.

These two fitness landscapes only line up through the end of the reproductive age of the organism.
The control system of the GRN is able to mask some of the imperfection of alignment of the two
fitness landscapes. Older organisms express more of the self-organizing potential of the genome
macromolecular chemistry. Monod speaks of the genetic base pair language (through the
ribosome) liberating the interpretation of the genome from the strictures of chemical determinism,
c.f., Chance and Necessity (1981).

The counterfactuality of choice and cognition permitted by free will and consciousness may be
behind the MWI nature of QM and not so much the intrinsic dynamics of matter and energy
(themselves proportional to the square of the absolute value of Psi and not proportional to Psi
itself.) Heisenberg uncertainty, due to consciousness of the observer and not his physical
interference (or the free will of observer unpredictably interacting with the system).

Consciousness only plays a role in collapsing the wavefunction because consciousness is
originally responsible for the quantum mechanical behavior (as such) of classical physical systems
(when probed closely enough). If one probes nature deeply enough, in other words, one
encounters the human mind. And if that one probes deeply enough, he encounters his mind.
This suggests that quantum mechanics is natures way of revealing the fundamental truth of a kind
of democratic solipsism. This principle is true for each observer and potential observer. Each
observer may only probe down to his or her own identical vacuum state or, more aptly, his or her
own ground of being. Probing into the natural order must ultimately result in the decoupling of
the observer from the intersubjective world system. This is further reason for why the dynamics
of the individual consciousness may never find any satisfactory explication in terms of so-called
objective physical processes. Deeper probing of nature implies getting a progressively less
mediated and more direct access to the processes under study. The asymptote for progressive
immediacy of knowledge is the individuals consciousness as substrate of all possible knowledge
for that individual.

Each unification of otherness speaks of the self not originally included in it. Any analysis of
some physical manifestation of the observers particular system of categories by that observer,
which is penetrating enough, shall result in deep aspects of the observers mind being revealed to
him by way of the particular physical manifestation in question.

Matter does not only induce a warping of spacetime, but creates the very spacetime that it warps.
This would be true if we equate warped spacetime with spacetimes metric structure. This
case is to be distinguished from one in which matter and metric structure of spacetime arise
together interdependently.

Kauffmanian fitness landscapes are tightly aligned with DNA chemical stability landscapes. Is
this a mere coincidence; is this design; or is the tight alignment between the two landscapes itself
the product of natural selection? This alignment of genotypic chemical stability with
phenotypic fitness landscapes, if in part is the product of natural selection of random variations in
DNA chemical structure, would also be in part the product of some kind of selection of variation in
say, the mode and manner of the genomes phenotypic expression. This points up the
importance of the genome possessing some internal mechanism for cybernetic control of
transcription/copying and/or translation/expression of DNA base pair sequences in the form of
proteins and protein-regulating proteins.

The stability of the chemical structure of the DNA is relevant to the constancy and fidelity of
phenotypic expression of this chemical structure. More stable chemical structure would result in
a tighter feedback existing between changing survival/reproductive requirements of a dynamic
physical and/or social environment.

The gravitational collapse of, for example, a spherical distribution of dust particles results in a
local decrease in the density of imaginary momentum fluctuations in the quantum vacuum along
with an increase in the density of real momentum fluctuations associated with the matter
composing the dust particles. At the same time quantum correlations are established between as
yet unsuppressed imaginary momentum fluctuations of the vacuum and the newly engendered real
momentum fluctuations within the collapsing matter distribution. In this way is set up a
mirroring of local (causal) interactions within matter and nonlocal (correlational) interactions
within the quantum vacuum. These local interactions are between real fermions (in the form of
mutually exchanged virtual spin-1 bosons) composing the collapsing matter distribution. The
nonlocal interactions are in the form of nonlocal quantum correlations of virtual
fermion-antifermion pairs that are created and annihilated as the vacuums imaginary momentum
undergoes spontaneous quantum fluctuations (in accordance with the Heisenberg uncertainty
principle).

What distinguishes the correlated from the uncorrelated spacelike-separated, timelike quantum
vacuum energy fluctuations? What distinguishes the two types of vacuum fluctuations is the
presence versus absence of Einsteins so-called inertia of energy. The nonlocal correlations of
the quantum fluctuations in the vacuums energy are what endow them with inertia, and it is clear
now that in the absence of any and all matter, the semi-infinite quantity of vacuum fluctuation
energy within any given microscopic volume of spacetime must be wholly devoid of inertia. For
at the very least, the influence of accelerated motion upon an energy system must be
communicated to and throughout this system via quantum nonlocal correlation of the systems
Heisenberg-uncertain energy fluctuations.

This manner in which local causal interactions become tied to nonlocal correlational interactions
between quantum fluctuations of energy shows the operation of Bohms equivalence principle at a
most fundamental level. Bohms equivalence principle states, to wit that local causal
interactions may always be alternately represented in terms of some appropriate set of quantum
correlations obtaining between an appropriate set of quantum fluctuations. Bohms principle
suggests that the density of causal interactions within matter cannot become greater than the
density of quantum fluctuations correlated so as to properly ground these causal interactions.
The density of causal interactions becoming greater than the density of supporting nonlocally
correlated fluctuations would constitute in effect the stream rising higher than its source. An
application of these fundamental limitations imposed by Bohms equivalence principle is that the
density of causally interacting particles cannot be greater than the density of quantum correlated
vacuum energy occupying the same volume. The above provides a possible basis for
distinguishing a bodys inertial from its gravitational mass, or for physically explaining the basis
for their true equivalence. It follows that black holes must be composed of two equal parts, a
matter and a vacuum component. If the Universe possesses critical density, then the Universe is
itself a kind of black hole and we should expect then the cosmological mass and vacuum energy
densities to be equal.

In addition to spatial, temporal and spatiotemporal gradients in energy, momentum and
momentum energy, gradients across distinct quantum superposition branches might prove
physically meaningful, especially for continua of superposition branches. But wouldnt an
infrastructure of continuum superposition branching, i.e., infinitely dense MWI universe
branching leave no room for coherence phenomena? If true, this might be in accordance with
the principle of ground being exhausted by exhaustive figure. But such a principle could be
easily defeated in a realm admitting genuine novelty.

Entanglement and Relativity, C.G., Timpson and H. R. Brown, 3 October 2002.

An entanglement assisted communication system would require the operation of the conscious
intention to send a message at one end of the communication channel and conscious perception at
the other in order to receive the message, i.e., extract the information from the message intended
by the sender. Both intention (free will) and intentionality (conscious perception) threaten the
delicate set of phase relationships nonclassically correlating the quantum fluctuations, which
comprise any coded message.

Because the evolution of the Schrodinger wave equation is deterministic, the evolution of an
Everett MWI universe is also deterministic. Any freely willed action on the part of a quantum
mechanical observer causes this observer to switch predetermined tracks of S-wave deterministic
evolution. It seems every choice one makes changes ones entire past in just such a way that
ones choice becomes a stage in the S-wave equation deterministic evolution of that past. One
effectively chooses a past such that ones choice is made in the absence of the operation of
conscious awareness. Clearly consciousness involves some kind of fundamental (as opposed to
derived) capacity to operate outside of the Everett MWI QM multiverse. The conscious
individual is able to seize and use an Archimedean point but one that is located within his own
self, i.e., bootstrap himself.

To investigate how quantum entanglement transforms under Lorentz boosts, c.f., Peres et. al.
(2002) and Gingrich and Adami (2002).

The quantum mechanical amplitude and its associated density functional seem related (vis a vis
quantum decoherence) analogously to the relationship of the complementary results of the two-slit
experiment, i.e., interference of waves vs. causal interaction of particles. The two-slit
experiment is one of the (if not the) clearest demonstrations of the fact of apparently local
interactions being in fact mediated via quantum nonlocal connections between otherwise causally
unconnected fluctuations.

The broader meaning of nonlocality is that of the state of a system located within a given region of
spacetime not being fully determined by reactions and interactions taking place locally. But
what we mean by taking place locally must be analyzed somewhat to mean taking place in only
a single locality. What makes a single locality in fact single may well have much to due
with purely formal aspects of the system in question (within that locality). The supposed
fundamental dualism of mind and body necessarily introduces a kind of nonlocality by virtue of
the human person being composed of two parts, one physical, one mental and each grounded in a
distinct, though perhaps mysteriously mutually interacting system. Any chosen action on the
part of a physical being that cannot be traced to local physical causes, i.e., physical causes
operating within the beings nervous and brain tissue must be in some fundamental sense, nonlocal.
Any physically consistent theory of consciousness would have to invoke nonlocality and quantum
entanglement within the brain on a massive scale. Such a theory might well described quantum
entanglement within the brain itself between Everett MWI universes rather than merely different
parts of the same MWI universe.

The mere appearance of coherence implies actual cohesiveness of the underlying dynamism
supporting that appearance. This is why permutational and combinational kinematics alone
cannot begin to explain the dynamics of cohesion. A subjective representation of objective
coherence must itself be coherent. This is why an empiricist theory of mind must be
fundamentally flawed, which is to say that order cannot be impressed (via impressions) onto the
mind in its capacity as a merely passive substrate. Rather order must be given to sense data, i.e.,
Humean impressions by a system of order already present within the fundamental dynamics of a
percipients mental processes.

Levinas and Plantinga are the two philosophers who most closely approximate my own style of
philosophical thought.

Did the building of the Tower of Babel threaten God? No, but its building threatened Gods plan
for mankind. Man is to be guided through various stages of development in his relationship with
God embodied in covenants and dispensational ages. The progression of dispensational ages
may be likened to the climbing of a series of ladders connecting ascending levels, but one must
move laterally some distance across the plane of each level in order to find the ladder taking one to
the next level. The progression of Man through the dispensational ages is a fundamentally
dialectical process. The building of the Tower with its straight upward ascent threatened to,
if only symbolically, short circuit Gods dispensational plan. Gods destruction of the Tower
was intended to be a message about the futility of Mans attempts at self-development in ignorance
of Gods loving guidance.

The Internet with its rapidly growing power to put each in communication with all appears the
modern day equivalent of the Tower of Babel. What brings about its eventual destruction shall
bear a special and intimate connection with divine power or its peculiar mode of operation. Any
sufficiently powerful likeness of a situation to that described in a powerful myth causes the
dynamics driving that situation to become captured by the dynamics of the myth. Neural
network perception, cohesive as opposed to merely coherent possibility spaces.

Genetic nucleotide bases were hit upon by molecular evolution with/without an underlying
process of testing potential viability of base pair sequences that would latter be cobbled together
by natural (and sexual) selection. And yet a far larger subspace of viable potential base pair
sequences exist than any possible subspace of tried and tested sequences. It seems a teleology of
providence/intelligent design is at work assisting evolution, or at least in having set up the
atomic/molecular infrastructure.

The tiny subspace is tinkered with which gives information to the semi-infinite leveraged
subspace of base pair sequences, which then process this information about environment to which
the organism must adapt. The phenotypic expression of the genome is itself dynamic rather than
kinematic, meaning that the history of the expression of a given base pair sequence is a dialectical
process in which the literal evolves in terms of ever newly emerging metaphorical aspects of itself.
Metaphoricity that consciousness underlies enables emergence of novelty.

But what in the realm of linear vector spaces corresponds to Psi collapse/reduction? Physics vis
a vis Einsteins field equations seems to be a tiny subset of mathematics. Is mathematics
nonetheless empirical? Quantum mechanics is the ultimate empirical science and so shouldnt
be comprehensible, c.f., Wigners unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics in the physical
sciences. Mathematics works even though we do not understand the underlying physics of
how mathematics proves effective in describing nature. Quantum mechanics as ultimate
physical science must say no hidden variables. Admitting hidden variables, i.e., local
interactions would permit physical explanation to be embroiled in an infinite regress of physical
explanation.

Due to the fundamental nature of physics as a system scientific explanation, the absence of
physical entities, i.e., nothing has been effectively reified by relativistic quantum field theory
through the concept of the quantum vacuum. Might psychological science one day become
fundamental enough as a system of scientific explanation so that a total absence of psychological
entities, that is to say, no one or alternately, empty mind might be found to possess a deep
structure, one underlying personal identity either internally and/or externally? But these two
cases, that of absence of persons and that of absences of contents in a persons mind are of
distinctly different type in two senses, one abstract, one concrete.

What are the implications of quantum interaction-free measurement for the theory of conscious
perception?

Cultural forms that are imitations of the inspired individual expressions alone may inspire the
collective mind. But as Ayn Rand noted, no intellectual discovery is ever made by the
collective. A counterexample to this notion might be Daniel Klempners comment that Unlike
general relativity, which grew out of a brilliant insight into the connection between gravity and
geometry, or the deciphering of DNA, which unveiled a new world of biology, quantum
mechanics did not spring from a single step. Rather, it was created by a small group of physicists in
one of those rare concentrations of genius that occur from time to time in history, c.f., One
Hundred Years of Quantum Physics.

The secret to motivating oneself toward developing ones scientific and philosophical insights,
social commentary, etc. into consumable intellectually viable works is just recognition of the
following: if ones insights are indeed valid, then smarter and more highly motivated people than
oneself have already hit upon these same insights and published papers, books and other works
inspired by those insights. With the availability of so many of these works online, it becomes a
simple matter of skillfully utilizing a search engine, finding copies of these works, and establishing
a bibliography supporting the points of view founded upon ones own similar insights that one
seeks to develop, however less developed these might be currently, relative to the advanced
development of such insights in the works of established writers.

See the article Microtubule Mechanism for Alzheimers and the discussion of the phenomenon of
microtubule superradiance in which incoherent thermal energy may be converted to coherent
photons within the microtubules.

Is it true that the observer must be conscious enough to recognize the intersubjective features of the
physical observables he is faced with in order for his act of observation to induce state vector
transition of the system observed? Perhaps this would only be true if this observer is the only
person who has access to the true quantum state of the system. For an observation to occur must
there be inability to distinguish the state of the system from certain abstract features of the
quantum state of the observers brain? In other words, does the act of quantum observation
necessarily result in quantum entanglement of the state of the system with the state of the
observers brain?
@$
C.f., Quantum Mysteries Disentangled by Erann Gat and the discussion of
how classically correlated states of Shannon information entropy 0 emerge from quantum
correlated states of quantum information entropy 1 through the act of quantum measurement.

Causal connections may perhaps only be alternately described in terms of classical correlations of
quantum fluctuations resulting from interaction of an observer with the quantum correlations of
these fluctuations.

This would imply that consciousness is associated not with any particular quantum state of the
brain of the observer but with the underlying brain processes giving the observer the capacity to
bring a system other than his own brain into quantum resonance with the quantum state of his own
brain. Quantum resonance of two systems requires that both systems be in quantum coherent
states. The first system, the system that is the subject of quantum measurement is only coherent
incidentally or passively, while the system performing the measurement of the first system is
quantum coherent through an active feedback process.
@$
To wit, consciousness with an object is
dependent upon consciousness without an object.
Two quantum mechanical systems undergo mutual interference whenever the two systems are
separated by less than Heisenberg uncertainty with respect to any quantized physical observable.
If means is acquired later for distinguishing the systems, then backward-propagating influences of
nonlocal quantum connection shall cause the mutual interference to disappear. This seems like a
possible means for signaling the past. But actually the laws of quantum uncertainty shall
always conspire to forbid this. This is on account of any reduction in quantum uncertainty
along one particular physical observable axis must always be accompanied by a concomitant
increase in the quantum uncertainty along a complementary axis (of the quantum conjugate
variable). On the other hand, one cannot even attempt to use mixed quantum states for purposes
of signaling the past due to the overall high entropy of these mixed states.
@$
The increased
uncertainty of states of the conjugate variable cannot be selectively ignored by the receiver, but
must figure into the quantum process by which the receiver of the quantum message discerns the
object of the transmission. This information entropy constraint is imposed upon us by the fact
that quantum mechanics is also subject to the 2
nd
Law of Themodynamics.
At some point evolution hit upon the idea if you will of outfitting organisms with a perceptual
system in which organisms no longer relied on sensory data for information about the external
environment, but began to use this sensory data merely as a means for adjusting brain neural
microtubule circuits to resonate with the appropriate abstract structures, which could then be
projected outward into a simulated arena in which the organism now saw itself acting. This
development became necessary as brain capacity began to outstrip sensory channel data capacity.
At a certain level of development in the evolution of the organisms brain the bandwidth of the
various sensory channels becomes too limited relative to the complexity of neural circuits
available to the organism for analyzing the incoming sensory data. The organism must switch
from crunching incoming sensory data using deterministic algorithms to processing sensory data
into perceptual information. The organism does this by now utilizing the incoming sensory
data merely as cues for interpreting the data. Important for the interpretation of these sensory
data into full-blown perceptual cognitions is the organisms utilization of physical traces in its gray
matter that resulted from earlier moments of the organisms processing of sensory data, i.e.,
memory. Quantum superpositions of present with past brain states might be an important
component in the mechanism of interpretation of current sensory data.
The capability for tuning into abstract, resonant structures as well as for placing these structures
together into a common space in which the organism also placed itself greatly increased the
organisms ability to quickly adapt to rapidly changing environments. At this stage the
organism is no longer limited to a quantum-locality-based, causally mediated stimulus-response
mode of processing of mere sensory data, but now capable of utilizing quantum nonlocally
connected information matching important abstract features of the organisms immediate
environment. Important in being able to utilize this new quantum information as opposed to
sensory data is the function of the organisms memory, which permits the organism to create
quantum nonlocally connected brains states across time.

The conspiracy on the part of nature to always manifest particle-like behavior whenever classical
physical initial and boundary conditions permit measurement of such behavior on the one hand
while on the other hand relaxing back into wavelike behavior whenever the classical physical
boundary conditions do not permit detection and measurement of particle-like behavior may be
summarized neatly as the following: where measurement cannot distinguish some number of
theoretically possible states in terms of their relative actuality versus potentiality, then these
distinctly possible states shall undergo mutual interference. In this way quantum mechanics is
seen to be the ultimate empirical physical theory. This is why the Heisenberg uncertainty
principle is an ontological as opposed to a merely epistemological principle as well as why the
quantum mechanical wavefunction must represent the most that can possibly be known about the
physical system it describes, i.e., the wavefunction is a complete description of its associated
physical system. The counterintuitive results of quantum theory are fringe phenomena, which
result at the boundary of the physically real (actual) and merely imaginary (possible). They are a
generalized kind of Gibbss phenomena associated with some unknown boundary. This
boundary lies between the realms of the knowable and the unknowable. Quantum phenomena
are manifestations of a reaction on the part of nature to our impinging upon her very
boot-strapping functions by which she sustains physical reality in existence.

Suppose that the famous two-slit experiment is performed with electrons being sent through the
apparatus at a rate of say, one electron per hour. Let us note here that the original emission of
these so-called individual electrons was itself an event subject to quantum uncertainty. A
camera, A is positioned so as to collect information about which slit each electron travels through.
Another camera, B is positioned so as to view the phosphorescent backstop that the electrons shall
strike after passing through the two-slit barrier. Certainly if camera-A or its film emulsion is
destroyed (in an irreversible manner) prior to the film emulsion of camera-B being developed, then
upon finally developing the film emulsion of camera-B, a pattern of interference fringes is
revealed. On the other hand, if the film in camera-A is developed first, then knowledge of which
slits the electrons passed through is obtained so that when the film in camera-B is developed no
interference fringe pattern is revealed, but instead a buckshot pattern of individual particle hits
on the phosphorescent screen. Naturally, we want to know what happens when the information
contained in camera-A is preserved while the film emulsion of camera-B is developed. If the film
of camera-B is developed first, then we should expect one of two results: either we see an
interference fringe pattern or we see a buckshot pattern of electron particle hits. Depending
upon which pattern we see upon developing the film emulsion of camera-B shall determine
whether, upon finally developing the emulsion of camera-A the information concerning the
passage of electrons through the two-slit apparatus is preserved: if an interference fringe pattern is
revealed, then upon investigating the experimental setup it shall be discovered that the positioning
of the camera relative to the two-slit barrier was proper and adequate to permit determination of
which slit each electron would pass through; alternatively, if no interference fringe pattern is
revealed, then investigation of the relative position of the camera and two-slit barrier would reveal
that the experimental apparatus had not been set up in the right way so as to actually permit
sufficiently accurate observation of the trajectories of electrons passing through the two-slit
barrier. Of course, failure to see an interference fringe pattern upon first developing the film
emulsion of camera-B might alternately mean that an absent-minded experimenter had forgotten
to switch on the power to the camera, remove the lens-cap, properly adjust the focus, shutter speed,
etc. Over time, if the film in camera-A is not developed, but is instead placed in storage, there
shall be some sufficiently long period of time after which development of the cameras film shall
not permit sufficiently accurate determination of electron trajectories through the two-slit
apparatus. This is due to the natural process of decay of the film emulsion with which any
professional photographer is familiar. Even if a much more stable emulsion is utilized in
camera-B, so that detailed information about the pattern of phosphorescence of the two-slit
apparatus backstop is recorded, the information on the more stable emulsion must decay in step
with the rate of decay of the emulsion of camera-A! This points out the separateness of nonlocal
quantum information from the local causal interactions within matter. The decay of the
chemical emulsion of camera-A is a locally mediated process, while the controlled decay of the
chemical emulsion of camera-B is a nonlocally mediated process.

The question arises if back-reaction of a more stable quantum system upon a less stable system is
possible.

The local causal processes of the brain affect the brains quantum nonlocal processes after the
fashion of the interaction of the quantum state of camera-As chemical emulsion upon that of
camera-B. Do the nonlocally connected coherent quantum fields of the human brain back-react
upon the brains decohered fields?

Quantum mechanics is Gods system for accommodating human free will with the classical
physical appearance of the environment in which human choices are played out.

The phenomenon of a moral sense is intimately tied to that of human free volition.

Delayed choice experiments in nonlocality demonstrate that it is not merely or only consciousness
of the observer as such that induces wavefunction collapse, but the freely willed, concrete actions
of the observer in adjusting the experiment conditions of a quantum measurement (observation)
that is sufficient to induce collapse. It is the shared general feature of free will and
consciousness, which involve quantum systems become involved in, that of irreversibility, which
excludes the possibility of the observer effecting a delayed choice experimental result. The
delayed choice experimental setup requires proper isolation of the quantum system that is subject
to delayed choices. In this manner the configuration of the experimental apparatus pre- and
post-delayed choice, i.e., (t
0
), (t
f
) constitute boundary conditions of the experiment just as much
as do the values of quantum fields fixed at specific spacetime coordinates, e.g., electrically
conducting plates, static magnetic fields or potential energy barriers. What permits the delayed
choice is uncertainty either Heisenberg time uncertainty pure and simple or more generally
uncertainty in the specification of the initial conditions of the experimental setup.

The direction of time for a prepared quantum state representing a closed system only appears
definite. There can be no real causality without irreversibility, only causal correlation of present
with past phenomena.

The so-called Star Trek transporter paradox was first pointed up by the character of Doctor
McCoy in one of the continuing novelizations of the series. In this novelization McCoy
expresses his fear that the McCoy that steps onto the transporter pad aboard ship is not the same
McCoy that shall step off of the transporter pad at the receiving end on the planet below. The
character Spock counters McCoys fears by noting the null effect of the paradox from the point of
view of everyone else concerned (other than McCoy himself, that is). The converse of this
situation is suggested by Hugh Everetts Many Worlds Interpretation of Quantum Measurement.

The proper metaphysical interpretation of personal identity is one of parallel quantum solipsism.
Solipsism may be at some level unavoidable since my consciousness either exists only with my
present individual self or is reiterated an indefinite number of times in the form of this my own
individual form and all those constituted by other individuals like this self.

I perform a quantum measurement and according to Everett my consciousness suddenly
transitions to some other almost identical universe maybe only one in which the only thing that
has changed after my measurement is performed is that Im in a new universe in which my
consciousness is the only consciousness continuous with the previous universe in which my
consciousness resided just prior to my performing the measurement. In fact, this particular case
should constitute the minimal possible change that may be induced by my act of quantum
measurement.

My act of quantum measurement/observation merely changes the probabilities of the results of
future quantum measurements/observations as might be conducted by others sharing my
intersubjective environment. But my act of quantum measurement does not merely change the
quantum probabilities for me, it changes the very quantum universe within which I reside. The
act of measurement does not change the dynamics of the world within which one is performing
measurements, it just alters the boundary conditions to which any and all quantum measurements
become subject. And part of these altered boundary conditions are the other potential observers
and/or experimenters with whom I share a physical environment.

What makes the world real for me then, is my consciousness of it.


To discuss the creation of spacetime without also presupposing a background supers-spacetime
against which it emerges is to delve into the realm of metaphysics and theology. For the very
cash value of our concepts of physical and concretely real is intimately tied to the stage of
spacetime. Here we are treating Being without a stage for its existence, i.e., pure being and the
distinction of subjective and objective, mental and physical are here undercut. Any being
present in the absence of some context, against which it is to stand out, i.e., ex ist, literally
out-being such as spacetime may be understood to possess an inside but no outside. Such a
being must be infinite and perfectly ordered at the same time. What order means for a finite
system we understand well enough. But the meaning of order in the case of a coherent infinite
system is one we shall forever be unable to grasp except by analogy. The negation or opposite
of such a being would of course be without any consistent definition. Such a being would not
be a member of any possible class any variation of the being would be the very same being in
another one of its self-chosen ternal states. Ternal denotes neither external nor internal, but
forming the ground of the distinction of external and internal. An etymological analysis of the
root, ternal would perhaps shed some light onto our discussion at this juncture. Any
something out of which all possibility, potentiality and actuality is to arise must possess at least
all of the qualities that define deity as a metaphysical entity.

Many of the stories of Genesis are mythological retellings of the continued relationship of the
human with the primitive brute from which he evolved, but which still coexists with the human,
c.f., any discussion of the tripartite evolutionary structure of the human brain. This conflict
occurs through monkey-minds subversion of the more highly evolved, human neocortex, c.f.,
the peculiar parasitic action of viruses attacking living cells. Evil results from the refraction of
monkey minds simplistic, impulsive drives by the God-brain with which monkey mind has
already long ago been forced to share a skull. Sublimation is not the refraction and rarefaction
of evil, but is itself the very mechanism by which evil has come into being.

Evil is at first only the notion of evil which then makes itself real. God arises in the same
manner, that is via the mere conception of God. But then one has to ask the question, whence
these two highly distinct concepts, those of Evil and God?

A system that is purely nonlocally connected with itself cannot cause an inertial effect within any
vacuum in which it is embedded. Although perhaps the proper notion of embedment in the
vacuum might imply the potential for the embedded object to induce such vacuum inertial effects.
How do we reconcile this fact with another, theoretical fact asserted by Bohm, to wit that causal
connections could always be decomposed into combinations of fluctuations and correlations (is
the difference between classical and quantum fluctuations important here?).

At what threshold of internal coupling via locally symmetric gauge boson exchange does a system
become an inertial system, i.e., a system capable of producing inertial effects upon its local,
embedding vacuum state, as well as operating on its own internal time? Inertia is
characterized by the interaction of two vacua, which operate on two distinct temporalities, or, more
generally, two distinct frequencies (and possibly also, phases).

Consciousness and gravity are related by more than the superficial fact of both phenomena being
capable of inducing collapse of the quantum mechanical state vector. Both are additionally
related through such concepts as inertia, entropy and internality (of temporality or, more generally,
of internal integrity of a spacetime). Inertial effects are caused by the interaction of distinct
temporalities (or quantum vacua or, more generally, grounds of being).

Bayesian probability is based on partial knowledge of the data specifying conditions for a system,
that is, the probability of the state of the most probable system.

Evolution poses such conceptual difficulties for many people because of a common supposition
that their notions of form, proportion and beauty are somehow nonarbitrary, or still more,
natural.

Quantum nonlocality implies that physical phenomena possess a superluminal component that lies
outside of spacetime.

J. S. Bell says in The Foundations of Quantum Mechanics that, there are, ultimately no
mechanical arguments for the process (of wavepacket reduction). Degeneracy is when the
results of quantum measurement do not determine the state resulting from the measurement.
Eigenvalues are spacetime bound whereas quantum states frequently are not (though perhaps
eigenstates are, within spacetime, i.e., where eigenvalues do determine the quantum state).

<adiabatic decoherence> ~ inconsistent notion?

Psi evolution is unitary (according to the Schrodinger equation) and, of course, carries all quantum
numbers/symmetries here probability is conserved, i.e., probability density obeys the
conservation of probability current via a continuity equation.

Using the initial state vector as the z-axis, we can predict the angular displacement, theta of the
state vector at some later time to within a factor of 2pi, but we can know the relative angular
displacement of the state vector, phi at some later time to within a factor of pi. This is similar to
the case where one spatial rotation of a Bose particle is required to bring the particle back to its
original state, while two spatial rotations are required to bring a Fermi particle back to its original
state. The above parallel between how spherical angular coordinates are related and how Bose
and Fermi particle wavefunctions are related suggests that somehow the wavefunctions
representing Bose and Fermi particles are orthogonal.

The fact of the individual consciousness seeming to possess an inside without at once possessing
an outside may be related to the phenomenon of quantum coherence (of the brain) as well as to the
supposed important role of human consciousness in the collapse of the wavefunction during the
(freely willed) act of quantum measurement.

The solution to the paradox of Bell nonlocality in Minkowski spacetime is to simply decouple the
dynamics of the propagation of quantum nonlocal effects, i.e., the dynamics of propagation of
quantum correlations from the relativistic structure of spacetime. In other words, simply forbid
quantum nonlocal influences from evoking inertial (or gravitational) effects upon spacetime.

Gravitational decoherence always occurs once Penroses one-graviton limit is reached while short
of this limit being reached effects are too small to be measurable. Since nonlocal effects do not
transmit any intersubjective information, then neither do these affect the entropy of the quantum
vacuum. The propagation of, for example, two nonlocally connected spin particles represents
essentially a simple case of the spread of a coherent wavepacket. This wavepacket must undergo
a gradual decoherence if it spreads through curved spacetime.

Quantum indeterminism and uncertainty seems to require that the fluctuations and correlations
underpinning physical observables and those underlying the observers knowledge processes
(mind) belong to altogether distinct spaces. The act of observation somehow brings together
these two spaces as though for the very first time, i.e., without any prior connecting quantum
fluctuations. To wit, the physical system subject to observation and the observer do not reside
within any common space or continuum.

The reason for the existence of the quantum mechanical wavefunction as the complete description
of a quantum mechanical system as an entity altogether different from a physical wave
propagating through spacetime is pointed up by the counterintuitive quantum phenomenon of
self-interference, i.e., two particles not needing to be coincident in time as they pass through the
two slit apparatus in order for mutual interference to occur. Is this self-interference a necessary
consequence (or necessarily lead to) fully relativistic behavior of the so-called wavicle of the
quantum two-slit experiment? The wavefunction is an abstract object though one that behaves
after the fashion of a physical wave. In addition to peculiar self-interference as a wave, does the
complementary particle exhibit self-inter-penetration in certain experimental setting?

Is there a limit on how separated in time a two-slit experiment particle must be for the quantum
self-interference pattern to disappear?

Incoherent, nonlocally connected energy is just one of four possible kinds of quantum energy, the
others being coherent, nonlocally connected, then coherent, locally connected and finally,
incoherent, locally connected quantum energy.


Job 38:1 Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind [italics, mine], and said, Job 38:2
Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge? Job 38:3 Gird up now thy loins
like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me.

Job 38:4 Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth [italics, mine]? Declare, if thou
hast understanding.

Psalms 58:9 Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them away as with a whirlwind,
both living, and in his wrath.

Proverbs 10:25 As the whirlwind passeth, so is the wicked no more: but the righteous is an
everlasting foundation.

Ezekiel 1:4 And I looked, and, behold, a whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire
infolding itself, and a brightness was about it, and out of the midst thereof as the colour of amber,
out of the midst of the fire.

8:7 For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind.

The roles of each of the following in the gradual or discontinous degeneration of the quantum state
wavefunction into a statistically mixed state (one possessing a definable entropy), i.e.,
consciousness, free will, environmental (open system) quantum decoherence, gravity and inertia
are likely intimately interrelated.

Whole, hole, holism, heal, health, hale, heil, etc. are mutually related to the word, holy. This is
more than just an etymological coincidence. The unity of the whole that was lost when the
global symmetry of the system was broken cannot ever be fully recaptured through the operation
or action of complex enough causal, local-symmetry preserving, i.e., merely local reactions
and interactions. No thing possesses unity; rather, a thing is an abstraction from a unified
process.

The propagation speed for information within the mind must be infinite for conscious states since
otherwise the information criss-crossing the gray matter of the brain, for example couldnt really
substantively contribute to the unity of conscious states during the moment that the information is
in transit. For isnt the motion or transmission of information distinctly different from the
information so moved or transmitted? Isnt information itself an artifact of nonlocally
connected, i.e., instantaneous quantum processes? So then is must be some lower level version
of information such as data that must be moved around in some pattern corresponding to some
quantities of information. But why should we insist upon this synchronization of objective and
subjective temporality. If subjective temporality is presumed to originate within objective
temporality, say, in accordance with some underlying physical processes transpiring in the brain,
then there seems no logic in going on to suppose that the two processes, those of objective and
subjective temporality are parallel.

If identity theories such as physicalism, c.f, neural correlates of consciousness (NCC) theory
from the philosophy of mind were true, it would be the present instantaneous chemical and
physiological state of the brain with which ones current state of consciousness would be properly
associated. (This is inconsistent with the breakdown of timescale reductionism and the advent of
multidimensional time theories.) Although the information moving through the brain at that
precise moment would have relevance for future (subjective temporal) states of consciousness to
be associated with corresponding future (objective temporal) states of the individuals brain.
These transmitting information (data, really) are relevant to future states of consciousness in the
sense of informing change in the quantum nonlocally connected, unified state of the brain at some
later moment. Whatever the location of the information on their transmission trajectories within
the brain in a given instant might be, that is what constitutes the brains state to which a conscious
state is associated. And this would be the case for all previous instants of time when each packet
of information is at an earlier stage in its transmission. So the identity theory of conscious
states doesnt really allow the causal (physiological) processes in the brain to have relevance for
instantaneous states of consciousness. (It is doubtful whether the Heisenberg Uncertainty
Principle, or a future generalization of this principle would permit the existence of such
instantaneous conscious states, and it is such a possibility for instantaneous conscious states
which is required by the rigorous mental-physical parallelism of the identity theory of mind.
When the quantum energy uncertainty of the brain becomes large enough, the wavelength
associated with the complementary time uncertainty becomes considerably smaller than the global
dimensions of the brain so that the full integration of the brains quantum energy uncertainty,
which in turn reduces this uncertainty (now understood as entropy) shall require at least some
quantum-nonlocal, i.e., instantaneous connectivity. But the messages circulating in the brain
never actually get where theyre going if there are no unified or nonlocally connected brain
states to serve as clearing house, so to speak in order for the messages to finally be received.
This is why we say that it is the nonlocally connected vacuum state within which the brain is
embedded that constitutes the brains actual state, not the pattern of circulating neural currents
that might exist within the brain at any particular moment.

Making sense of nonsense vs. making ones own kind of sense of some others sense. Analogy
between dreams and religion. Both are attempting to make one kind of sense out of data that
make another kind of sense. This is in contrast to the skeptical view of dreams as the reshuffling
of the contents in a temporary buffer that were filtered out of conscious perception during waking
conscious experience. What then is the skeptical view of religious belief? The collective
consciousness rationalistic attempts to make sense of the irrational promptings of a collective
unconscious, which is fundamentally mythically structured. But if religion is to be ultimately
founded upon an illusion (in Freuds sense), then the data

As stated elsewhere within this text, A particle with mass such as a W boson represents an excited
state of the quantum vacuum, which therefore must decay exponentially. A massless particle is
not an excitation of the vacuum. Is this to say that the vacuum only possesses mass-equivalent
energy when in an excited state? (Only bound states of matter may be excited?) The
inertial mass of the vacuum is solely in terms of this vacuums surprised excited states. On the
other hand, we might say that so-called unsurprised excited states of the vacuum dont really
constitute bona fide excitations of the vacuum at all. This must be added to the other mental
qualities of the quantum vacuum such as its quantum nonlocality, uncertainty, complementarity,
etc. Surprised excitation of the vacuum might be equated with a sudden reduction in the
quantum uncertainty of the vacuum and representing a given quantity of information. The
information content of the reduced uncertainty must be related to the irreversibility in the relative
shift in the magnitudes of complementary Heisenberg uncertainties. In this way, information,
uncertainty (along with acausality), entropy and memory are seen to be importantly mutually
related.

If we must take Monods gratuite principle seriously, then no individual gene is either good or
bad per se, that is, in abstraction from the context of a particular gene regulatory network
providing that gene with its meaning, its current mode of expression, either in the form of a
particular set of proteins or as instructions to other genes for their mode of expression as proteins,
etc. So called deleterious genes may have, earlier in the history of the GRN been perfectly
proper though with the slow evolution of the GRN cybernetic control system of gene expression,
such genes may have come to be interpreted as bad, much the way a popular politician can fall
out of favor when a government administration or even a system of government changes.

Kurt Godel stated two fundamental propositions in his Incompleteness Theorem: the logical
consistency of a system cannot be proved from within that system and any consistent logical
system will possess theorems that cannot be demonstrated to be true or false within that system,
moreover, each consistent system will possess true theorems that cannot be proven true within the
system as well as false theorems that cannot be proven false within the system. Any consistent
logical system then possesses a topology to its landscape of true, false and undecidable
propositions. Domains of true, false and undecidable theorems characterize this topology.
These separate regions, domains or islands of theorem clusters may only be bridged through the
operation of logic-transcending mathematical intuition. Each domain of true theorems is
logically inconsistent. Domains of logically consistent systems contain within them true, false
and undecidable theorems. There appears to be a fractal structuring of mathematical theorems
into domains of consistent and inconsistent systems of logic. There appears to be a fractal
structuring of true and false theorems within consistent systems of logic. Only inconsistent
systems of logic possess only provable true theorems and disprovable false theorems. This
reminds us of how relations describable by differential equations cannot span spaces of multiple
topologies. Logic is always system-specific and so cannot indiscriminately bridge distinct
systems of logic. Only Reason may do this. Reason, which includes intuition, transcends
mere logic. Space, time and spacetime are only particular examples of intuition.

Reason, including as it does the faculty of intuition with the form of spacetime being only one
among many possible forms of intuition as such, would not be expected to be formalizable in terms
of deterministic functions of some set of spacetime variables, i.e., in terms of a set of differential
equations.

Fractal geometric patterns are the best visual representation for a phenomenon that actually cannot
be pictured, i.e., exact self-similarity, a ready example of which is a logical system that properly
exhibits its own self-consistency within itself. Such a system could never be constructed and so
cannot be analyzed properly in terms of a construction, which is to say such a system cannot be
given a complete formal description, that is, a formal description cannot capture the subtlety of the
systems real structure. A fractal then may be thought of as a metaphor for a self-aware system.

That which is apiece with the very ground of being cannot itself be an artifact possessing a
beginning and an end.

Consciousness, much paid lip service to, is something we do not possess any real concept of,
rather, we possess an intuition of consciousness as the ground of experience and not merely a
metaphysical deduction of consciousness as being such a ground. Nor do we possess a direct
experience of our own consciousness. Experience is indeed our being. So the ground of
experience (being for us) of which we have neither actual experience nor conceptualization for we
nonetheless directly intuit. This is the origin for both the concept of and the belief in God, since
the most we can possibly mean by such a term is the ground of our experience, rather than the
ground of being itself. The substance of our belief in a ground of being is that which is the
ground of our experience. My faith in God is secretly my faith that the ground of my experience
is of one substance with, as it were the ground of experience as such. In this way, following
Plantingas thinking, belief in God is intimately bound up with belief in the reality of other minds
and secretly, too with a belief in the intersubjective determination of objectivity so that this
common ground of experience for mind as such is identical with the ground of being itself, i.e.,
God.

But is it necessarily the case that true theorems not provable from within a given system of logic
themselves have something to say about the logical consistency of that particular system?

In the same manner that the Heisenberg uncertainty principle implies that particles do not follow
deterministic paths, i.e., trajectories through spacetime, the mind processes data not in accordance
with a deterministic computation, that is, conscious thought does not follow a trajectory in any
definable state space. To say that the mind does not occupy states within a state space implies
that there can be no exhaustive set of quantum numbers specifying the brains quantum
mechanical state that is at once identical with any conscious mental state.

An absolute reference frame is required if all degeneracys of physical observables are to be
removable, in other words, a reference frame must be available that is not suspended in the void,
but attached to some bedrock foundation.

At the deepest and subtlest levels of the minds operation, all degeneracys of physical observables
have given way and in which the complete set of quantum observables, i.e., quantum numbers
have been specified (all degeneracys have been split). At this level, the degeneracy of
consciousness itself passes away. But what exactly is the meaning of degeneracy in this
ultimate observable? Is the creation of individual consciousnesses effected through the
splitting of the degeneracy of general or universal consciousness?

Is the difference of individual consciousnesses akin to that by which alternate universes of many
worlds quantum theory are distinguished? This is not likely because the number of possible
entities would be in this case multiplied to an extent that the ground of these entities would be
exhausted by the being of these entities themselves, that is, the ground of any given entity would
just be the dynamics of all of the other entities.

The endless reprocessibility of the data of human experience, akin to the unlimited semiosis of
Saussurian linguistics, points up the necessary factor of the will in the determination or fixing of
data into a form as information. Here will is an additional factor, either supplied or not,
depending upon a free choice by a conscious individual, is required for the final determination of
data as contents of conscious experience. There is no adequately large and complete set of
conditions sufficient to produce a determinate conscious experience in the absence of a personal
act of interpretation. This unlimited semiosis of experience does not presuppose a rational
basis for experience such that experience is intersubjective in that experience is formalizable.
@$
As Balzac noted in his Physiologie du Marriage, The mystery of the transubstantiation of
ideas, originates perhaps in the instinctive consciousness that we have of a vocation loftier than our
present destiny. But it seems that the formalizable component is all that the individual may
offer up for combination with the experience of others so as to be reprocessed together with others
experience. How can the unique, incommensurable component of the individuals experience
contribute to the higher reprocessing of lived human experience as such? There is a common
denominator to human experience which is either formal or substantial in the context of this
discussion, both interpretations leading at once to the question of whether self-consciousness is the
structure or the substance of experience.

The western notion of God is consistent with the notion that there is some ultimate reprocessing
of the data of human experience. The eastern notion of deity or of ultimate Being is that the
data of experience are open-ended with respect to interpretation with no ultimate limit for the
reprocessing of these data.

The longer is the conscious human lifespan, then the smaller must become the energy uncertainty
forming the bed of fluctuations with which human existence is sustained. One way for energy
uncertainty to be reduced without an associated reduction of the quantity of energy as such is for a
progressively greater number of quantum correlations to crop up within the uncertain energy.
In this way the temporality of the uncertain energy becomes progressively more internal in nature.
The internality of temporality, i.e., its non-public or non-intersubjective nature is what
characterizes the temporality of conscious experience. There seems to be a distinction here
between what we might call nonlocal versus local energy uncertainty.

Contemplation of Leibniz principle of those conditions sufficient for the creation of a thing are
necessary for its sustainment may give us deeper appreciation of stability and flux as just
differently appearing modes of a same underlying process. Leibniz creation principle helps us
to appreciate, for example, the fact that a human genome that would sustain a human being for a
typical life span of, say, 1000 years must possess a significantly different structure from one
sustaining the same human person in mortal existence for a mere 100 years.

What relation do the above several paragraphs have to the phenomenon of Christs resurrection?

Why should this be so? Perhaps this is so because the ground of existence, e.g., the quantum
vacuum mediates the passage of time and so structures derived from and sustained by this vacuum,
and which exchange energy and information with this vacuum cannot themselves be indifferent to
the passage of time, regardless on which time scale of the structures underlying processes we
examine/consider.

There is not tweak to the human genome that could possibly extend the human life span by an
order of magnitude or more without producing at the same time a lot of other unintended effects
upon the dynamics of genomic expression manifesting on all possible levels, e.g., behavioral,
psychological, immunological, etc.

In an eternal universe, c.f., Hawking and Hartle, there should be no real distinction between the
Universes initial and boundary conditions. Such a universe would constitute a self-contained or
closed system of spacetime in which irreversible processes would be unknown, i.e., such processes
as consciousness would be altogether excluded from such a universe.

The quantum mechanical mechanism of interaction-free measurement its necessary
involvement of counterfactuals in the determination of the results of these types of measurements
surely is relevant to the distinction of mere thought from action within the context of philosophical
discussions of the issue of free will, c.f., Vaidman et al.

The inherent and ineradicable ambiguity of sense data means that there can be no real distinction
between simulation, i.e., virtual reality and so-called real reality. A master craftsman of virtual
reality simulation might have authored the penultimate modulation of the sense data from which I
construct my perceptions of an alleged external world, though this does nothing to mitigate the fact
that the construction materials seized upon by the VR craftsman are equally subjectively perceived
manifestations within this craftsmans mind. This is all to say that the substance of experience
is always and universally the same as Santayana has said, reality is just a dream though one under
control of the object. So waking and dream consciousnesses are on a completely equal footing
with one another as examples of structured consciousness.

During an approximately 10 minute discussion in the Camp Monteith cafeteria with SFC
Hendricks of Carl Jungs theories of individuation and the notion of the inversion of personality
type once the midlife point is crossed, Captain Sholtis walked up with a bottle of nonalcoholic
white wine. The label of the wine was Carl Jung. This occurred on July 23, 2003.

Another striking coincidence I observed on my 43
rd
birthday. I had been staying over at my
parents house during a four-day leave from the Army. I emerged into the family room where
my parents were watching television on the early morning of my 43

birthday. The first thing I
heard was a woman on TV saying, Im 43 thats old! The woman was Kate Bushnell, who
was promoting here new book on the Fox and Friends morning show.

The quantity of Freuds psychic energy needed to attend to the details of goings on in ones
neighborhood is identical to the quantity of this energy required to produce this same level of
detail. This is true for the happenings associated with both animate and inanimate objects and
processes. The more energy one puts into the effort of attending to a conversation, the more
structure and meaning does the conversation appear to take on. Is it possible to trick the
subconscious so as to catch it in a lie or logical contradiction? Can a stream rise higher than its
source? It seems that the secret motive or intent of postmodern criticism is to pull a maneuver
akin to this. Deconstruction is an attempt to intelligently view a creative work through the eyes
of the schizophrenic and to partially dissolve the bonds of association of ideas that oneself and the
creative works author share, which both have inherited from a time prior to the development of
eachs critical faculties. However, this exercise (of deconstruction) secretly presupposes that the
associative network used by the deconstructive thinker in critiquing a work is somehow less a
sociolinguistically and culturally determined tissue of interpretation determining, i.e., biasing
relationships than is or was that associative network from which the author or artist determined his
work. The deconstructionist states that there is no Archimedean point of reference from
which a work may be produced or criticized, but ends up by failing to heed his own admonition.
The following Beatles song lyric points up this situation for postmodern critics nicely - she acts
like shes in a play and is anyway. There is a secret faith in the intuition that the peculiar nature
of self-referential consciousness offers us some hope for the deconstructionist or postmodern critic
to in this way pull himself up by his own bootstraps, e.g., escape himself the very same
deconstructive critical technique that he applies everywhere to the creative works of others.

In a universe without divine being as ultimate ground and reference for all subordinate levels of
being, mankind should have never come to the broadly scoped critical awareness that he now
enjoys. Is there some basis for critiquing a culture and its artifacts beyond that provided by the
critics own culture? The supposition that there is such a trans-cultural critical perspective
presupposes such a thing as objectivity that transcends mere intersubjectivity, i.e., divine being.
What caused Mankind to become alienated from himself? The beginning of civilization and
urban existence?

The trend of cultural development, that is, of the transformation of means into ends acts in the
opposing direction to the line of development characterized by a trend of ends being converted into
means, e.g., art becoming propaganda, music used for purposes of meditation or the setting of
mood within commercial advertisements, the human act of love being transformed into
pornography, businesses being founded for investment purposes, slavery, training house pets as
attack animals, etc.

The discovery of irreversible particle reactions and interactions, e.g., Kaon decay, bespeaks
possession by the Universe or spacetime of some kind of memory.

The limit to nonlocal connectivity of wavefunctions is defined by the Planck length as limit to the
Compton wavelength of the entangled systems, e.g., photons. This limit to nonlocal
connectivity may also be understood in terms of the computational limits of the quantum vacuum
supporting the existence of quantum systems that are a first (but not an only) manifestation of it.
Any larger collection of photons must (spontaneously?) break up into separate though interacting
domains and thus cannot be represented by a single, pure state quantum mechanical wavefunction.
This is the extreme limit of quantum coherence, which is defined by the Planck length (or,
alternatively by the Planck time, mass, density, etc.). Of course, the capacity of the quantum
vacuum to support quantum coherent systems may also be exceeded by an unlimited set of more
loosely nonlocally connected systems. Actually, such systems comprised by a hierarchy of
imperfectly nonlocally connected subsystems constitute far more complex systems than do what
might be termed Planck-nonlocally-connected systems, or Planck-coherent systems. The
complexity of a system may not be constituted so much by the number or density of its quantum
coherent component parts as it is by virtue of complexity of the process of decoherence and
recoherence of the system, i.e., complexity of the systems reprocessing of itself as it interacts
simultaneously with the information of quantum vacuum and the stress-momentum-energy of the
vacuum of public spacetime.

The great cohesiveness of the genome of successful/viable organisms in terms of the coherence of
the dynamic protein structures constituting the organisms various subsystems (including the
overarching system of the organisms as whole entities) suggests also great coherence of genetic
sequences that have existed forever in the background of virtual, heretofore untried and untested
genetic sequences. The path of evolutionary development implied for this background of virtual
viable genetic base pair sequences is too complex to have all along confined itself to the single
temporal dimension subsumed within public (or objective) spacetime. (I can intuitively see the
fundamental truth implied by this assertion though I have yet to find a proper specific expression
for this insight.) The integration of somewhat separate lines of adaptation through the
interbreeding of heretofore non-interbreeding subspecies into a new hybrid subspecies is an
example of just the kind of integration of ordinary evolutionary processes that seems to require a
description in terms of physical processes in multidimensional time. A futher example of higher
dimensional time is the evolution of the cybernetic control system represented by the network of
higher order regulatory genes. In other words, in the above particular case, one subspecies did not
phylogenetically transform into the other, nor did either transform in this way into the hybrid
subspecies. Rather the new hybrid subspecies was brought into being through direct expression
of an altogether new genome. There is logic at work in the evolution of sexually reproducing
species in which distinct varieties of viable subspecies when crossed almost inevitably result in
new hybrids that are also viable to more or less the same degree. There is a deeper reason for this
than can be accounted for using the Darwinian model of natural selection of random mutations.
This is quite the contrary situation to that in thermodynamics in which say, two liquids or two
gases are mixed together and in which the resultant entropies are always greater that the entropy of
the sum of the component entropies.
@$
Does sexual selection then require the nonrandomness of
mutation?

The linear, causal-deterministic time (one dimensional time) does not
appear sufficiently rich to contain the dynamic mechanism underlying the self-organizing
properties of atoms and molecules, which pushed the evolution of complexity forward prior to the
advent of a unit of heredity, e.g., RNA, DNA, etc. during the first billion years of chemical
evolution. The Cambrian explosion and the many sudden leaps forward in biological evolution,
which have occurred since (the alleged reason for a sparse fossil record of species-transitional
change) hint at the existence of bifurcations and limit cycles in higher dimensions of time than one.
Perhaps in the same way that the brain requires higher dimensions of time to effect the temporal
integration underlying the appearance of the "specious present" and a grounded, contextualized
consciousness (self + other minds + world +/- God) , biological evolution must involve higher
dimensions of temporal change, which defy any possible causal analysis.

It seems that any time two organisms successfully interbreed with one another and produce fertile
hybrid offspring that these offspring are almost always as a bonus viable individuals. So the
separate lines of progressive adaptation of functionality by separate breeding populations can be
easily brought back together and these separately developed functionalities integrated in the
endowment of hybrid organisms.

Although certain genomes might be positively unsuccessful within a given environment, the
crossbreeding of two such genomes might nonetheless prove highly adapted to that given
environment. Is there any reason to suppose that this couldnt be the case because of some
intrinsic linearity of the genotypes manner of being expressed as phenotype? Given the context
sensitivity of the organism to its environment, particularly in the case of emergent
socio-culturally advanced environments such linearity in the genomes mechanism of expression
doesnt even seem definable in theory much less a fact of biological necessity.

Death given its fullest interpretation as complete and total separation from Being (Reality) implies
that the former existence of that being which has now become nonbeing (the question of whether
Being can even participate in temporality is an important question here) was ultimately illusory
(anyway) in the sense that the ground of Being (ground of being-as-such) and the ground of the
particular being in question were never with one another continuous. So the Being of God
(interpreted as the Ground of Being) and the being of the individual must be continuous, that is, of
a single substance if that individual shall be supposed to possess real being.

Integrating and reprocessing the biographical data of the billions of human beings who have ever
lived on the planet provides opportunities for transcendent beings (limited by their own infinite
and transcendental nature) to learn about the realm of limitation, i.e., the spectrum of being starting
just below infinite being and extending to the human realm (and perhaps below the level of human
existence, provided the doctrine of reincarnation is fundamentally valid). But how does this
irreversibly produced, highly context dependent experiential data actually become accessible to
godlike beings without these beings becoming the subject of experience themselves?

Those manipulating the Matrix must also face the question of whether they, too are living within a
Matrix. This is again the problem of the etiology of appearance, the solution to which is the
admission that there is not a veridical set of appearances, i.e., the question how things really
appear is meaningless and the ground of being therefore is transcendent of all appearance.

@$
If the process of abstraction were not irreversible and nondeterministic, then the problem of the
etiology of appearance could be supplied with a neat solution undo the sequence of the
suppression of provisionally irrelevant details within the proper complete description of reality in
order to arrive at the correct set of appearances.
May 2011
Like the inventing of details when
recounting a partial recollection of events, the new entities pointed to by the combination of
abstract concepts, each of which was originally formed through the suppression/forgetting of
concrete details (so as to form a class) bespeaks a synergism tantamount to a creativity of nature
inspired by the creative intelligence of the theorizing researcher into nature.

What if, on the other hand, abstraction is reversible though the sequence of

The brain possesses, i.e., produces no conscious states of its own, but just acts as a kind of complex
set of filters.

These filters are applied to
-a finite set of information
-an infinite set of information

Here consciousness possesses a determinate latent structure.

The brain produces no conscious states of its own, but engenders structures within preexistent
consciousness(es).

It creates these structures by
-inducing a reaction in preexistent consciousness
wholly determined by the brain action
only in part determined by brain action



Spacetime structure is, of course a deterministic structure. The curvature, for example, of
spacetime (or of a spacetime) is only evident from the perspective available to an observer taking
up position further up the Minkowski worldline. The structure, e.g., curvature of spacetime at
some still not present (to any observer) is indeterminate.

What observational or empirical evidence would be available to us that the global spacetime of the
Universe is undergoing its own temporal evolution? Context-free global temporal evolution is
really a contradiction in terms for without context there is nothing relative to which temporal
change can be indexed.

Processing of the data of consciousness that takes place within orthogonal higher temporal
dimensions relative to the temporal dimension of so-called public spacetime takes places entirely
outside of this public spacetime though when strong gravitational fields a present, these higher
temporal dimension become no longer strictly orthogonal to the objective timeline. What should
be the implications of this - paranormal and psychic phenomena or other violations of causality,
e.g., manifestations within public spacetime of what should otherwise have been strictly subjective
contents of individuals imaginations? We should also expect an entanglement of otherwise
distinct metalevels of conscious experience to result as well.

Quantum measurements introduce random phase factors into the eigenfunctions of a pure state
wavefunction, which result in a destruction of interference patterns. Is the destruction of a
distinct pattern of quantum interference characterized by orthogonalization of the components of
the wavefunction? But then in the presence of a gravitational potential shouldnt an
orthogonalized wavefunction decay into a statistically mixed state in which the wavefunctions
components drift back into a mutually nonorthogonal, statistically mixed state, once again?

Is the information contained within the boundaries of Heisenberg quantum uncertainty of just
subtle enough nature to be consistent with a degeneracy of this quantum uncertainty with respect to
the publicly verifiable actions of past experimenters/observers? In other words, the publicly
verifiable actions of individuals are part of the intersubjective record of deterministic spacetime.
But are we saying here that the evolution of the subjective timelines of conscious individuals are
altogether independent of the temporal evolution implied by public spacetime? Certainly there
must exist some dynamical commun-ication and interaction between subjective and objective
worldlines? Otherwise, there is no basis for saying that certain minds possess particular
embodiments.

There is not reason for a mechanism of concealing the fact of the epiphenomenal nature of
conscious intention is everything occurring in the mind is also epiphenomenal.

On the other hand, if the mechanism of inertia is such that the vacuum does not gravitate, i.e.,
gravitational sources must possess nonzero energy expectation values and mere energy
fluctuations of the vacuum cannot act as gravity sources, then this would imply that spacetime
1

structure is determined by the distribution (within spacetime
2
) of the energy density (and current
density) expectation values. And the expectation values are classical physical quantities
governed by deterministic equations of motion, e.g., LaGrangian mechanics, Hamiltonian
mechanics, etc. This would suggest that mind, which is not subject to the strictures of causal
determinism cannot coincide in its action with spacetime structure.

@$
What enlarges reality is not limited by it.

The phenomenon of precognition of will, i.e., wills precognition of itself in the future points up
the fact that their is a subtler form of mental content than what we shall term here Einstein
information, that is, information limited by the metric of public spacetime. Precognitive will
acts independently of not only the mechanism of temporal evolution, but also acts outside the
fabric of historically determined temporality. This is because precognition by will of its future
selves involves direct intuition by will of itself at a later time in which the hypothetical and the real
future remain undistinguished and are on a mutual equal footing.

The higher processing of human experience implied by the existence of an Akashic memory,
c.f., writings of Edgar Cayce, is very analogous to the further processing of data by a network
formed by connecting a set of stand-alone systems each of which contains data stored in their local
memories. If the data are deleted prior to the formation of the computer network, then all of the
data which would have resulted from the networked processing of the local data are lost. This is
precisely the predicament for human experience in which the data collected by each individual
during the course of his biography are lost through the death of the individual and dissolution of
his neural network (on which, allegedly the data of his life experience were stored throughout life).
Current and recent research into human memory appear to suggest that all that is really stored
within the confines of the human skull are memory traces, not actual memories. These memory
traces act akin to Internet web address pointers or weblinks. One breakdown of this analogy is
that in the case of computers connected via the Internet, the web servers possess a local physical
address (in addition to a cyber-address) just as do the personal computers connected via these web
servers. In the case of brain memory traces, the memories to which they point in Weblink
fashion possess no spatiotemporal location though perhaps a location within either phase or
momentum space, etc.

The question arises as to why no infrastructure should exist permitting the integration and higher
processing (reprocessing) of individual human biographical data, say through some appropriate
direct physical connection being made between the neural networks of various individuals brains.
Would there be a translation gap if the implied direct connections between brains were effected, or
may we presume the secret existence of some intersprache of nerve data impulses universally
shared by all neural networks of the type forming the human brain? Perhaps there can be no
real collective integration of biographic information, just separate recontextualizing of each
individuals biographic data in light of the availability of such data from all other human beings
who have ever lived?, c.f., Plantingas Problem of Other Minds.

We are as Sartre says, hurled into existence rather than having merely placed ones toe in the
water, because no merely finite limitation applied to the infinite can succeed in producing a finite
creation and no genuinely positive entity, i.e., emergent entity may be produced through a
negation or series of negations of some other negation (or series of negations). This is simply to
assert that nothing is created from a preexistent finite order because a finite order presupposes by
virtue of its simple existence all the possible permutations of combinations of its configurable
elements. In such a system there can be no emergence but merely an underscoring of
preexistent possibility, i.e., manifestation.
@$
All entities appearing from out of such a system of
possibility are epiphenomenal.

The ethics of interpersonal interaction are much sharper when all is not secretly one. Its very
easy to love one brother as ones self. Thats just one short step up from pure narcissism.
Rather what constitutes real love is love of the genuinely alien and other, i.e., the love of the other
as other. There is no love in the love of self (as self), only in the love of self as other, in line
with the others love of ones self as his other.

Sin is what pushes God outside of His comfort zone. Sin is what results from Gods attempt
to recoup himself from out of his own utter fragmentation of Himself. Sacrifice led to the
aboriginal fragmentation of the Godhead and sacrifice is the only thing, which shall reconstitute
the Godhead anew. God lead by the idea of Man, which constitutes creation, is replaced then by
Man led by the idea of God (which constitutes redemption but redemption not of Man, but of
God Himself)
Choice in this life lays the infrastructure for choices in the next.

I think mind and matter really two distinct things and not secretly just manifestations of projections
of some single underlying substance. And for this reason, embodiment has to be worked out
through a process of negotiation taking place between mind and matter. If mind is itself
essentially a unity rather than a plurality, the its not possible therefore for embodiment of mind to
occur initially at any level distinctly above the minimal level at which mind and matter could have
become joined. On the other hand, if mind is essentially a plurality, then the same as the above
should be true for each individual mind (soul). Higher levels of mental embodiment cannot be
realized in other words without their having already been realized at all previously possible levels.
So the essential plurality of mind combined with the essential distinctness of matter and mentality
as such implies the doctrine of reincarnation (into substrates of developing mental embodiment),
c.f., my conversation with SFC Hendricks on July 14, 2003 at Camp Monteith, Kosovo. In this
way the temporal (historical, really) aspect of reality is properly incorporated into the limitations to
which mind is subject.

Embodiment of mind is not merely the result of the descent of the soul from the infinite via
application to its substance of finite boundary conditions, but is the result of this process of descent
in its intersection of with another process, that of the ascent of the dynamical subtlety of the
material substrate of embodiment.

If consciousness were merely some passive substance receptive to the imprint of the dynamic
initial and boundary conditions imposed upon it by coherent/resonant neurological functioning,
then there should seem no necessity in mental evolution being dialectical in nature. Both form
and continuity (of dynamic substance) are required for the embodiment of mind, again, because
the purely formal or abstract features of the system of boundary conditions applied to (potentially)
embodied mental substances are insufficient for capturing the subtlety and complexity of
conscious mental functioning. This is in part due to the inseparability of free will and
consciousness - in a word: the internality of consciousness is will; the externality of will is
consciousness. The dynamics of the interplay of will and consciousness is not a topology
preserving one, and this is another reason why the dynamics of the mind must lie altogether
outside the manifold of public spacetime. Causal order is but a small subspace within a larger
dynamical order; it is the timelike component of spacetime order. The underlying feature of this
timelike component is that of fluctuation. The spacelike component of spatiotemporal order is
that of correlation. The timelike and spacelike components of the spatiotemporal order are fused
together according to a pattern (imposed or not) of correlations of fluctuations. So each
spacetime and/or each inertial framing of a spacetime depends upon a particular structuring of the
nonlocal correlations of quantum fluctuations. Dissipation of fluctuations is the mechanism of
quantum decoherence.

Complexification of the dynamics of boundary conditions being applied to the simplification of
these boundary conditions themselves.

To deny the operation of luck is to deny the Voids participation in the act of creation and in acts of
creativity.

One of the instinctive behaviors of socializing humans is for each to formulate ones thoughts in
ones own words while speaking in the voice of the listener. The loner or outcast never
achieves this subconscious social insight within the critical window of his early psycholinguistic
development. He is incapable of seeing how his voice differs from that of the spontaneous
collective and so is forever unable to bring his voice thusly in line with that of the collective.

Notice that only a 45-degree spacetime rotation may produce a transformation of a spacelike
vector into a timelike vector or, conversely, a timelike vector into a spacelike one. Is this fact
connected with the fact of a 720-degree rotation being required to perform a complete rotation of a
fermion (in spacetime)?

Quantum decoherence is a phenomenon resulting from the interaction of a coherent quantum
system with vacuum energy fluctuations that perturb the system, the greater the interaction of the
system with the vacuum, the more quickly shall the system undergo decoherence wherein the
systems pure state wavefunction decays into a statistically mixed state (by the way with a
concomitant increase in the systems entropy).

We may say then that an index of the rate of temporal evolution of a quantum system is its rate of
decohering into a statistically mixed state. Another index of the systems rate of temporal
evolution might be some quality of the system relating to some function of the sum of the systems
component frequencies. We may describe this second kind of temporal evolution as energy
degenerate time evolution. The only factor in preventing edt-evolution from being just a
description of a static pattern of standing waves (only possible if the waves are subject to hermetic
4-D boundary conditions, i.e., the waves are contained within an ideal four dimensional quantum
well), is if this edt-evolution is contextualized within some larger nondegenerate temporal
evolution (ndt-evolution).

An energy eigenstate is as much a mathematical-physical abstraction as is an imaginary Lorenz
transformation (one in which no real accelerations are involved). In the case of an imaginary
Lorenz transformation, the configuration the 16 components of the stress-momentum-energy
tensor is permitted to change while energy is conserved, i.e., without any exchange of energy
between the system and an outside. So a real acceleration, as opposed to an abstract Lorenz
transformation, necessarily involves some exchange of system energy with a heat reservoir or
thermal bath, which is to say, necessarily involves an increase in the systems entropy. This is
why we believe that the proper index of real temporal change in a system is the entropy change
experienced by the system. All temporal evolution of a closed system is indexed through energy
exchange between the closed system and some larger energy system. A corollary to this might
be the statement that subjective temporal evolution, that is, temporal evolution within a given mind
is properly indexed through the exchange of some quantity (analogous to energy or perhaps
entropy) with some larger mind. In other words, human beings only experience the subjective
passage of time because their minds are grounded or embedded within some larger (and by
extension, infinitely larger) mind.

An abstract Lorenz transformation cannot cause a pure quantum state to take on non- elements to
become a statistically mixed state a real Lorenz transformation, i.e., the integral of a continuum
of infinitesimal Lorenz transformations are required for the production of a quantum statistical
mixture. This is analogous to the fact that a purely diagonal stress-momentum-energy tensor
cannot be transformed into a new tensor, T
ik
by a mere abstract Lorenz transformation, but requires
the action of a continuous acceleration or, equivalently, the action of a gravitational potential in
which the total energy of the system is not conserved. So the appearance of stress terms, i.e., the
coupling of orthogonal momenta within the systems momentum-energy tensor, requires the input
of energy into (or extraction of energy out of) the system. This may be understood in terms of
the systems interaction with itself in distinct Lorenz frames where total energy in this case may
only be conserved if there is an outside energy system present to balance the accounting of energy.
This outside energy system is the quantum vacuum in which the system is embedded and which
only manifests itself (takes on mass) if either the system is accelerated or if a gravitational field is
present.

The two distinct types of temporal evolution referred to above may parallel the distinction between
a wavepackets collective phase and group velocities. One type of temporality occurs in the
absence of Heisenberg energy uncertainty, the other positively requires Heisenberg energy
uncertainty. The energy of any system possessing a rational sum of component frequencies is
absolutely certain. Only systems possessing an irrational sum of component frequencies may be
properly understood to possess an irreducible, e.g., Heisenberg energy uncertainty.

We should distinguish here the cases in which the relative phases of the component frequencies are
merely superposed and in which the component frequencies are mutually interacting. The
component frequencies only truly mutually interact via agencies external to each (and in which
each agency is external (though appropriately connected) to the other).
Can a statistical mixture be transformed into a pure state via a mere Lorenz transformation (or by
some similarly rational transformation)? It would not appear that this is so simply possible.
But a continuum of such Lorenz transformations applied to a pure quantum state might just do the
trick. But then why could it be that an infinite number of null-transformations of a mixed state
results in some finite shift in the state back towards its becoming a pure state? A Lorenz
transformation such as is treated in special relativity theory is but an abstraction any Lorenz
transformation however small, carried out for however lengthy a time must involve some degree of
acceleration. This is related to the fact of an eigenstates being but an abstraction that is a state
without any real correspondence with an actual quantum mechanical systems state.
Gravitation is most basically a phenomenon of inconstancy (and unpredictability/indeterminism)
in the vacuums interaction with matter (or vice versa). And true inconstancy can only be
introduced into a system from altogether outside the system, that is, from the systems embedding
context in this particular case from the quantum vacuum forming the systems dynamical ground
(ground state).

The circle represents unity in diversity by virtue of the circle being the dimensionally simplest of
simple geometric figures though possessing irrational ratio of this two objects only geometric
measures, i.e., diameter and circumference.

Bell Nonlocality violates either the uncertainty principle or the Einsteinian speed limit of c.
Information is represented by the reduction of uncertainty. Therefore all of the information
available must reside within the quantum uncertainties of the vacuum prior to becoming
information in the form of real matter (derived from this vacuum energy through the reduction of
uncertainty). But what manner of uncertainty are we specifically talking about in this
connection energy uncertainty, particle number, etc.?

Data given meaning become information while without context there can be no meaning. This
means that data possess no inertia unlike information. Changing information requires the time
for the necessary processing of the underlying data to which the information is tied. It is this
retarded action of the processing of data underlying changes in information that requires the
appearance of inertial effects within the processing medium.

In the same way that eigenstates are abstract quantum states approximating the state of a real
quantum system, probabilities of quantum states may not be identically equal to |Psi|**2. This
would be because Psi is always merely a better or worse approximation to a real quantum state.
And this may be thought to be because of the noise inevitably introduced by the Gibbs
phenomenon that is characteristic of Fourier transformation of time domain functions subject to
ideal boundary conditions. The question comes up as to whether there indeed is a pure quantum
state such that Rho = |Psi|**2 in which we are unable to (perhaps eternally barred from) ever
knowing what the true state wavefunction is.

Survival should more broadly be understood in terms of population genetics frequencies.
Cultural and societal evolution goes along with evolution of the boundary conditions of survival so
that individual and collective features possessing survival value in a primitive or preindustrial
culture may no longer count as valuable to individuals occupying an information rich culture with
a stable and socially equitable society, say where the struggle for survival has been suspended
for many generations. In such long-lived stable societies where there is no longer any real
competition between members for life-sustaining resources (such as in a post-technological
communistic/socialistic society) the predominant mode of biological evolution would be
orchestrated more by sexual rather than by natural selection. Complementing sexual selection
would be culturally based behavioral genetics pertaining to any behaviors that would tend towards
larger rather than smaller numbers of offspring, e.g., religious doctrines promoting large families,
e.g., Catholicism, Mormonism, etc. Of course, within the context of any state or social
organization where the struggle for survival has been relaxed or suspended, dysgenic trends, from
the standpoint of survival in a state of nature would tend to accelerate.

Complexity compounded further makes no difference for the potential emergence of novel system
features unless context of the system is keeping track of the systems historical development.
Novelty emergences from accumulation of uncertainties. Overwhelming thermodynamic
complexity within closes systems introduces nonlocal connectivity within the system organic to
connection of the system to an already nonlocally connected medium or ground. This is the idea
of progress as rediscovery. Since causality is local connectivity any deviation from strict
causality is owing to encroachment of nonlocal influences. Nonlocal connectivity supporting
local connectivity is a paraphrase of Bohms fluctuation-correlation principle of causality. In
short, any deviation of the system from local connectivity represents nonlocal influences that
cannot be accounted for via observation of the system conceived as a thing or closed system, i.e.,
represents fundamental uncertainty of the systems behavior.

Changes in states of gene regulatory activity rather than changes in genetic base pair sequences
may be responsible for heritable changes in the organism despite this activity being influenced by
an organisms environment.

What Godels theorem implies about mathematical reality, provided we are not to subscribe to
mathematical Platonism, is that 1) mathematical relationships subsist within a continuum more
complex than what can be captured in any mathematical system at least as complex as simple
arithmetic, and 2) that the mental processes by which mathematical reasoning is conducted
fundamentally transcend any formalizable description. This begs the question of whether this
transcendental mathematical intuition of the human mind might be formalizable in terms of
systems less complex than that of simple arithmetic. But less complex may be interpreted in
two distinctly different ways: less complex in the sense of less complexly structured simple or
infinite, or rather, more appropriately transfinite substances. The notion of complexity may
only be appropriate for describing systems of boundary and initial conditions rather than of a
fundamental dynamism.

Each life form, regardless how simple possesses a maximally efficient design. The trial and
error does not appear within the fossil record, but in the cobbling together of the gene regulatory
network. There must have been some extended phase of chemical evolution in excess of a
billion years or more in which the probabilities of certain genetic base pair sequences were set up
long in advance of the actual epoch in which deoxyribonucleic acid first appears. This phase of
pre-DNA/RNA chemical evolution would have been mediated by the development of catalytic
pathways in which the fastest occurring chemical reactions would have proven most favorable for
the appearance of new experimental cofactors and enzymes. This setting of the groundwork for
which genetic sequences and metabolic pathways would emerge first (and preventing or greatly
delaying the appearance of other, would-be alternate organic chemical species and reaction routes)
would be driven exclusively by initial and boundary conditions (going all the way back to the big
bang and fusion processes in early stellar interiors) was a process taking place supposedly wholly
in the absence of feedback from the changing of probabilities in the distant future (after complex
life shall have already arisen).

Monods principle of gratuite, i.e., the arbitrariness of the meaning of the genetic code, is
guaranteed by the context dependence of individual nucleotide base pairs within a given gene
regulatory network functioning as the cybernetic control system for gene expression. The
arbitrariness of the genetic code consists in fact that no unique correspondence exists between
any genetic base pair sequence and any particular protein. No such correspondence exists
because a preexistent gene regulatory network is required to interpret a base pair sequence as
coding for a given protein. But can Monods gratuite principle be applied to the complete
genetic code, that is, to the DNA as a whole? This would seem to be the case for otherwise we
are faced with a recursive reference or infinite regress in which the DNA molecule codes for the
gene regulatory network itself. This would be a theoretically ultimate case of gene regulatory
control of the expression of the genetic code, i.e., DNA coding for its own molecular structure.
This recursive coding paradox is solved through the system of each base pair possessing a
corresponding base pair complementary to it. Prior to nature hitting on this unique solution,
DNA always coded for some molecule other than itself and endless mutation of the genome
would have been the result. In fact, it is the ability of DNA to code for itself as a proper
expression of its own structure which allows DNA to code in actuality for molecular structures
other than itself, i.e., phenotypic expression. The complementary base pairing system of DNAs
integral structure permits the genomes molecular structure to take up only infinitesimal space
within DNAs intrinsic memory of information coding capacity.

The vast difference between chimps and man in terms of phenotype with only 0.4 % difference
between them in genetic base pair sequences of their respective DNA suggests that the mutations
separating the two genomes, human and chimp are predominately mutations to higher level
regulatory genes. As a principle we may assert here that there can be no sexual reproduction,
i.e., random mixing of preexistent genetic base pair sequences into viable composites without
cybernetic control of gene expression. Control of gene expression so that each gene may possess
myriad distinct modes of its content being expressed as an organism phenotype permits the
existence and play of a large data degeneracy (overdetermination of information the outstanding
example of which is bound up in the gene-expression-regulation of homology), that is, many
different pieces of information may be have the same underlying genetic base pair sequence data.
Since this trial and error process by which the gene regulatory cybernetic control network never is
permitted to substantively show itself in the evolution of phenotypic expression, i.e., in the
ostensible evolutionary development of biological systems itself, the evolutionary development of
higher order gene regulatory networks may be understood to progress at right angles, as it were,
to the timeline represented by the evolution of the system of organismic phenotypes.

Natural selection depends upon a hooks and ladders infrastructure being already in place for
evolving biosystems to climb. The chemical stability of favorable nucleotide base pair
sequences is a function of chemical properties that are supposedly not affected by biological
evolution. In other words these chemical properties of DNA do not themselves evolve in
response to the advance of biological evolution. On a metaphysical level, one cannot really
admit that biological evolution results in anything like progress since the set of biologically (and
chemically) possible life forms remains unchanged, however long evolution continues to operate.
Real change, then comes with an alteration in the form of an enlarging of the possibilities for
biological systems. Morphic resonance is a bosonic principle. What then is the fermionic
principle of evolutionary development? That is to say, what possibilities are excluded as a
result of the emergence of certain evolutionary developments?


Periodic functions do not carry information, but may carry data by assignment. Information may
only be carried by aperiodic functions, that is, functions that cannot be expressed in an analytic,
closed form. Aperiodic functions do not possess arbitrary instantaneous meaning while the
meaning of periodic functions is of course completely arbitrary, i.e., by assignment. Can
information be amplified by something analogous to an electronic amplifier circuit?
Amplification always requires drawing upon some external source. Quantum systems could
not exhibit either bosonic or fermionic properties as a whole in the absence of quantum
nonlocality. Without a preexistent hook and ladder infrastructure to support the operation of
natural selection, the evolutionary process must make up this infrastructure as it goes along,
requiring the operation of intelligent design. One thing is clear consciousness requires
consciousness for its own development. The symmetrical interaction of particles might be
explained on a holographic principle the interaction of but a small number of boundary condition
symmetries might be capable of exhibiting a virtually infinite richness of dynamic symmetry, say,
analogous to the operation of a kaleidoscope. The piecing together of a shattered holographic
emulsion exhibits some of the properties of a Fourier synthesis. What if the blurriness of the
holographic image is thought of in terms of a fringe effect describable as a Gibbss type
phenomenon?

Receipt of communication is characterized by a kind of orchestrated surprise in the
consciousness of the communication recipient. An altogether new configuration of quantum
entanglement arises in the supporting vacuum of the consciousness receiving information, that is
to say, a configuration of novel topology. Spacetimes of distinct topologies do not belong to the
same degeneracy equivalence class of spacetimes. This is what makes topological
transformation a fundamentally irreversible process. Information cannot be embedded within a
reversible (entropically static) process or interaction. Noncomputable processes cannot take
place in the absence of an observer who is capable of collapsing the system wavefunction
underlying the physical system corresponding to the computing device. But quantum
mechanical wavefunctions cannot be collapsed within the system, but collapse must always be
initiated from altogether outside the system. Irrational numbers may represent an outside that is
contiguous to the real number line. In this way the irrational numbers may be understood to be a
continuum through their function of embedding the continuum of the real numbers. This
reminds us of the embedding of causal relationships within a matrix of nonlocally correlated
quantum fluctuations. Causality may be understood to be analogous to the web of relationships
of rational real numbers, while nonlocally correlated fluctuations might be interpreted in terms of
the relationships of irrational numbers. The relatedness of the irrational reals possesses some of
the features of internal connectivity analogous to nonlocal quantum connectivity.

The creativity of substance in its evolving progressively richer experience that it potentially
supports points to its being embedded in an external ground of undefined possibility. Substance
enlarges its potential for unrealized experience that it later loses the capacity for in the face of still
further evolutionary development of this potential. Counterfactuality is a necessary component
of lived and experienced reality. And this counterfactuality must itself be susceptible to an
evolutionary development. Thus the being of an unlimited order of counterfactuality is
suggested. The factual defines by acting as a boundary condition to the counterfactual just as the
counterfactual conditions the factual though always in conjunction with the action of some outside
influence. The conditional relatedness of factual and counterfactual is however not
symmetrical but uniquely historical in nature.

It seems probable in light of experiments conducted during the 1980s and 1990s that
microevolution is both Lamarckian and Darwinian, while so-called macroevolution may still be
exclusively Darwinian. The transition from micro- to macro- mechanisms of evolution is a
manifestation of the transition from the quantum mechanical to the classical regime. Quantum
processes are already properly adapted to the environment because they compose this environment
(principle of innate harmony in nature) while the adaptation of classical physical boundary
conditions to the innate quantum environment constitute a kind of logical epiphenomenon.

Godels proof was an adaptation of Cantors diagonal argument in which the natural numbers were
made to represent themselves and every mathematical symbol required for the expression of a
mathematical theorem proof. Provable theorems were assigned correspondence with each
computable real (rational) number within the table of Cantors diagonal argument.

For Cantors famous argument to actually go through one would have to be assured of the
existence of a very special function, namely that by which real numbers are associated with
successive natural numbers. Each real number corresponding to a natural number or logical
symbol could be composed of the entire set of natural numbers placed into some kind of ordered
sequence. Can there be a rule for how the sequence of numerals in each real number
corresponding to a natural number or logical symbol changes so that no sequence is used more
than once?

The natural numbers may constitute an equivalence class to that of computable algorithms, while
the irrational numbers may constitute a transfinite equivalence class to that of the set of
noncomputable algorithms. This could best be done utilizing Godels Godel-numbering
procedure. Computable algorithms, corresponding to provable theorems would be
Godel-numbered as usual, indexing each theorem with its uniquely corresponding natural
number. Each noncomputable program would be Godel-numbered utilizing a uniquely
corresponding real number.

The natural (rational) numbers are embedded in the continuum of the reals. Can the computable
relationships between the rational numbers be alternately expressed in terms of noncomputable
relationships between irrational numbers? This reminds us of causal relationships as a subset
of the acausal correlations connecting entangled quantum fluctuations.
The real number line may be understood as the most complex family of fiber bundles with each
transfinitesimal point along this line serving as a distinct infinite fiber bundle. The longest
continuous fiber bundle subset contained by the real line is an infinite diameter circle. Without
the real line being an infinite closed figure or some possibly infinite set of infinite closed figures,
there seems no way for the points along this line to possess some nonarbitrary identity. Two
parallel lines extended to infinity meet at a point.

The information content of permutational-combinational elements must be defined similarly to the
definition of probabilities, that is, in terms of a total underlying field of possibilities. The
definition of information content (and probability) is here a purely quantitative one. The
information content, as well a the probability of the rational numbers being as they are
embedded or grounded in the continuum of the irrational reals cannot be so simply defined as
in the case of rational numbers. In the case of the rational/natural numbers, any meanings for
these numbers must be assigned and hence these meanings are arbitrary. This is similar to the
case of an ordinary computer, i.e., computable program.

But the meanings of elements figuring within the operation of a noncomputable program cannot be
purely arbitrary. Here the meanings of the noncomputable program elements must be based in
the underlying physics implementing the program. In fact, program and its physical
realization/implementation cannot be distinguished according to disjoint categories. This is
perhaps just another way of saying that if a noncomputable process is seized upon with which to
implement a computable program (possessing possible output sequences each with an arbitrarily
assigned meaning/interpretation), then at some level of complexity for the program implemented,
the performance of the machine implementing the program shall depart in mysterious fashion from
the strictures imposed upon the machines performance by the programming code representing the
implemented algorithm. And this departure of the programs behavior from its programming
code (as understood by the programmers of the machine in accordance with the machines stated
design) is governed by this underlying physics.

Note that rational real numbers are composed of computable natural number sequences, while the
so-called irrational numbers are composed of noncomputable natural number sequences. So if
the noncomputability of algorithms is exclusively based in the underlying physics of computing
machines, then the mathematics of irrational numbers must participate in some way with physics.

The irrational numbers such as the square root of 2, e, pi, etc. are a transfinite subset of the
transfinite set of real numbers.

There should be an argument parallel to that of the Cantor diagonal argument which
demonstrates the higher order of infinity of noncomputable relative to computable programs.

Imagine the table of Cantors diagonal argument corresponds to a coordinate system with the
natural numbers along one axis and a subset of the real numbers along an orthogonal axis.




The fundamental theorem of algebra may be simply proved using topological arguments applied to
the power series expansion of e**z, more specifically to dot products between two n-dimensional
spaces, one composed of numbers a(n)/n! - the other composed of unit vectors, n!*z**n. The
solution to any algebraic equation then becomes an n-dimensional vector projected within the
above 2n-dimensional space. The solution of a given algebraic equation must be determined by
a general algorithm by which the orthonormal basis of an arbitrary orthogonal coordinate system is
calculated. The rationalization of probabilities associated with an arbitrary wavefunction is
effected through normalization of the wavefunction, which implies the solution of an arbitrary
algebraic equation.

In experiments conducted at the NEC Institute at Princeton University, pulses of microwaves were
sent over a meter at speeds of approximately (1 + 1/300) times the speed of light in vacuum.
Physicists observed light pulses emerging from the other end of the detector prior to its entering
the detector. This is only possible if a quantum coherent superposition of detector and
microwave emitter has had adequate time to form, an amount of time at least as long as the
distance traversed by a microwave pulse divided by c. Such superluminal violations of
causality are illusory, however. The experimental conditions must be prepared in advance so
that although the experimental apparatus remains grounded within the quantum vacuum, this
grounding becomes of a highly specific kind the interaction between the prepared system and
the embedding quantum vacuum is routine and the vacuum quickly ceases paying attention to
this input to itself and the interaction between prepared experimental apparatus and vacuum
becomes (from the perspective of the vacuum) an autonomic one. This is the only situation in
which superluminal propagation speeds are permissible one in which the quantum vacuum is
asleep. So this is what the propagation of information really means orchestrated registering
of unanticipated inputs to the quantum vacuum.

How do we distinguish momentum as opposed to propagation of momentum? So-called
propagation of momentum means changes of momentum that are orchestrated along a trajectory.

Either one very consciously takes God as replacement for the Devil in the details or God remains
in the backdrop of the implied ontological assumptions underlying ones subconsciously held
metaphysics but either way, God as ultimate, transcendent reality is assumed.

What distinguishes a reversible from an irreversible causal sequence is topology (as we have
already indicated). What makes the difference in topology here is absence versus presence of a
grounding in an open system of networked recursive relationships.


If the law of non-contradiction does apply to the quantum mechanical void, (as is suggested by the
fundamental irreversibility of virtual particle interactions within an accelerated reference frame),
then it is not possible to induce the vacuum to reveal all of its latent structure simply through
application of sufficiently complex and orchestrated set of boundary conditions. Some of this
latent structure may only arise from the vacuum unbidden, that is, spontaneously. This is a good
reason why the hard AI dream of a conscious computing device cannot be realized by an
engineering design alone. These latent structures that cannot reliably and reproducibly be made
manifest through some properly orchestrated application of, e.g., vacuum electromagnetic field
boundary conditions, are structures of recursively linked vacuum fluctuations. If such vacuum
fluctuations are represented as causal-connection-observing, virtual particle interactions, the
proper causal temporal order is not observed in the particle reactions, and such particle reactions
would never be observed as real particle interaction such virtual particle interactions are of
course obscured by Heisenberg uncertainty from our ever subjecting them to quantum
measurement.

Certainly the fluctuating stress-momentum-energy that underpins the structure of spacetime
remains exempt from the strictures of causality. Within an inertial frame of spacetime the
boundary between the causal and acausal is distinct, but in an accelerated frame, e.g., within a
gravitational potential, the compartmentalization between the causal and the acausal is expected to
break down. The thermal vacuum that becomes observable within an accelerated frame, what is
known as the Davies-Unruh effect, possesses entropy and so can be understood to represent not the
flow of information but the emergence of information, i.e., the arising in place of information.

Teleportation of a wavefunction between two different gravitational potentials results in the
teleported wavefunction losing orthonormality.

But this appears to violate the principle of relativity. If information can be stored in a static
configuration, then information does so while traveling along a purely timelike worldline in
Minkowski spacetime. Therefore, a simple Lorentz transformation of statically stored
information must represent the flow of information. But static storage is only admissible for
context-free data, the concept of which is but a convenient abstraction, one not ultimately
corresponding to an objectively real quantity. Data, in other words, is an abstract feature of
information or, more aptly, data result from the act of the processing of information through
abstracting-on-the-fly data from information. Information is not an artifact of the
intersubjective domain. Information is not a physical observable or measurable quantity.

Being physically real though immeasurable means that information must be coded in the
correlations of quantum fluctuations (smaller than the Heisenberg uncertainty) of the system
dynamically containing the coded information. This reminds us that, although as Bohm has
pointed out, causal relationships may be alternately represented in terms of correlated quantum
fluctuations, that the set of such fluctuations within a given quantum mechanical system is always
larger than the set sufficient to represent the physical relationships that constitute the causal
scaffolding of the system. One wonders whether the heretofore-notable absence of any subtle
preferred frame quantum mechanical effects, e.g., quantum nonlocality exhibiting inertial frame
independence quantum nonlocal interactions are always instantaneous in any inertial reference
frame.

Structures of causal connectivity are perhaps physical examples of distinct spacetime topologies.
Is information a name for a topological transformation a transformation of a very special kind,
that is, a transformation that does not satisfy continuous differentiability required for
representation in the form of differential equations? Integral equations of the sort obeying a
variational principle represent families of differential equations. Since information is
characterized by topological change, if follows that deterministic causal relationships cannot
capture information content, only data structures. Thought in which information originates is a
process of the manipulation of topological change, i.e., manipulation of causality-transcending
reactions and interactions. Spacetime possessing a constant topology contains no where within
itself processes of topology-transformation.

Theres something in the circuits along which information flows information flow is always
simulated by the pattern of quantum correlations (of quantum field fluctuations). By the
systems total quantity of quantum fluctuations being partitioned into two (distinct?) sets, each is
grounded differently, one set grounded within itself (the causal set) and one grounded outside of
itself (the acausal set).


A set of instructions describing the machines program that is stored in its memory, c.f., Searles
Chinese Room Argument.


What if the person in Searles Chinese Room is passed a series of Chinese symbols containing
the set of instructions for properly processing inputted Chinese character sequences into output
character sequences? This question assumes that we have set aside for the time being the
inevitable question about what is supposed to constitute a proper output sequence, rejoinder to a
question embodied in the inputted sequence of Chinese symbols, i.e., what is the arbiter of a
correct answer? some native Chinese scholar with the appropriate credentials for answering a
given specialized type of question, or perhaps some ideally selected normal, average, workaday
Chinaman?

The inherently dynamic, feeding-back nature of the system of Chinese symbols required to
represent proper processing of the Chinese Room instruction set is fundamentally recursive, i.e.,
the system of symbols cannot be represented as a static set of symbols, nor as a deterministic
input-output sequence of such symbols. To properly represent the recursive set required to
represent intelligent processing of symbols inputted to the Chinese Room a fundamental
uncertainty (Heisenberg uncertainty?) must be present and which separates inputted from
outputted symbols.

No quantum entanglement is possible between two conscious beings. The creation of
information is not delimited by the reduction of Heisenberg uncertainty.

Irreversible boundary separating data from information, c.f., collapse of the psi function, which is
an irreversible, entropy-engendering event.

The relationship of data and information may be likened to the difference between characters
inputted to the Chinese Room and, not the sequence of symbols emerging from the Chinese
Room, but the dynamics of the processing of the inputted symbols. Data is static, somewhat
like a snapshot of a process. But snapshot is here a somewhat misleading metaphor as it
suggests a section taken from a deterministic process, e.g., the unfolding of a movie reel.
Information, on the other hand, is inherently dynamic. A snapshot taken of a fundamentally
dynamic movie reel might be found upon examination to be holographically structured and
ambiguous in the same manner as Heisenberg uncertainty.

The content of data is underdetermined, the content of information, overdetermined.

The concept of underdetermined data implies that there is some complementary component
somewhere, which, if added to the underdetermined data form some kind of perfect complex.
But this is misguided. The complex resulting from the combining together of any data with
any other data still form just another set of data. Data cannot be processed into information by
mere arithmetic/logical operations applied to preexistent (inputted) data.

Fluctuations in and of spacetime out of which the expectation values for the distinct, parallel
global spacetimes are sustained must, of course, be nonlocally connected on account of the
necessarily 2-dimensional temporal nature of fluctuations in and interactions between global time
continua within the corresponding parallel spacetimes. The same timeline (temporal worldline)
may belong to more than one global spacetime. The fluctuations in 3-momentum and energy
driving the above spacetime fluctuations must be nonlocally, which is to say, internally connected.
And the temporal evolution/variation of the nonlocal connectivitys of any given spacetime must
occur along an altogether distinct timeline from the Minkowski worldline of which local events are
a function. The internal (subjective?) timelines, though orthogonal to, must make continual
contact with, the intersubjective (objective) timeline. And the relative rate of times passage
(within subjective temporality) is indexed by this shuttling, connecting back and forth interaction
of the (piecewise) orthogonal, subjective (biographical) timelines. The interstices and
discontinuitys of subjective-objective temporality implied above constitute the internality of
embodied temporal existence. Subjective content makes reference to the objective and grounds
these subjective contents within a meaning-giving context. Here we have the inequivalence of
the positive and the non-negative, c.f., information vs. negentropy.
prn=
It is our intuition that what
essentially makes for this inequivalence of information and negentropy is that, negentropy is
intersubjective in its nature, while information is subjective.
September 2011
This is because the
answer to the question, who is being informed cannot ever be a part of the realm of
intersubjective information. And the collaboration of persons therefore brings into being of
necessity information
@$
that could not have been engendered by a single, unitary ground of being.
(This notion rather flies in the face of one of the fundamental principle of
au=
Rands
prn=
Objectivist
Epistemology.) And so the exploratory urge of transcendent being (to investigate the depths of
the sea of limitation) cannot be satisfied without the embarking upon a project on behalf of being
involving
@$
the breaking up of beings monopoly of being. Being can only encounter the other
by becoming less than what it is, which is to say that being may only encounter the other by
partaking of an irreversible self limitation. Since no act of limitation on the part of an infinite,
transcendent being diminishes it, being must undergo this act of irreversible self limitation not
once, but an unlimited number of times.

In this way positivism as a theory of being fails. From a contradiction everything follows
not just everything apart from what is asserted in the positive proposition so contradicted.
There can be no logically consistent correspondence between appearance and reality because the
appearances constitute components of the being of the real just as fully as does the real beyond
appearance. Seeking after the bona fide appearances is a fundamentally misguided quest. To
speak of the bona fide appearances, i.e., the proper representations of reality is to suggest that one
set of appearances may be based in another set and that there is some objective basis for
distinguishing relative reality of distinct sets of appearances.

The fundamental wave nature of matter could have been discovered in Maxwells time, as it was
already known then that the ether must be almost infinitely rigid supporting as it does the
propagation of ultra high velocity radiation, i.e., electromagnetic. How else could motion of
solid matter through an ultra rigid medium be explained other than with the fact that matter is
nothing more than a structuring of this very medium? So uniform motion of matter through the
rigid ether must really be propagation of stable excitations of this medium; matter moves upon the
ether and not through it.

Timelike motion of matter may be based upon longitudinal wave propagation, spacelike motion,
upon transverse wave propagation.

Only a solid medium can support transverse or shear waves, i.e., waves of stress and strain of some
medium. A Lorenz transformation of a momentum-energy four vector from one inertial frame
to another does not result in the appearance of off-diagonal terms in the stress-momentum-energy
tensor of the vacuum. Accelerated motion is required for this. Does this mean that the matrix
representing a pure state wavefunction must develop off-diagonal elements corresponding to the
appearance of a statistical mixture of states (mixed state) whenever this wavefunction is viewed
from the vantage point of an accelerated frame of reference, or from within a gravitational field?
Is this why gravitation is thought to be one mechanism of quantum decoherence?

Is this why pure state wavefunctions must eventually decohere when propagating through a
sufficiently strong gravitational field? This decoherence is due to a kind of bending of the
mutually orthogonal pure state eigenfunctions that causes them to gradually lose mutual
orthogonality. This is the foreshortening of spacetime predicted by general relativity.
Spacetime symmetry is closely connected with the symmetry of 3-momentum and energy
fluctuations of the vacuums electroweak nuclear field.

3-momentum and energy are observables (eigenvalues) of the wavefunction that is itself a function
of the spacetime variables. And yet 3-momentum and energy are complementary physical
observables to the observable of space and the parameter, time. (Time is not a bona fide physical
observable in quantum theory)

The loss of spin-0 symmetry is characterized by an increasing disorder in the alignment of
antiparallel spin-1/2 virtual fermions (decreased magnetization and increased polarization of
electromagnetic current densities, i.e., rotation of the vacuum 4-current density vector).

Because of the dual control inputs to the gravitational field, one internal (quantum statistical) and
the other external (electromagnetic), it is possible for the underlying quantum statistical vacuum
mechanism of gravitation to be commandeered through a manipulation of the electromagnetic
boundary conditions applied to the quantum vacuum electromagnetic field.


As the velocity of propagation through a medium is proportional to the rigidity of the medium, it
follows that the vacuum represents the medium of greatest possible rigidity. This furthermore
implies that any motion through such a medium as the vacuum must be a purely imaginary motion.
What is meant by imaginary motion is that the motion is not of the moving object itself, which is
only a representation within the medium through which the object is traveling, but the motion
which can be attributed to the object is entirely a function of the medium and the mediums energy.

Must all reference ultimately ground itself in mathematical-like entities? Since abstraction, the
formation of abstract concepts, is what is essentially characteristic of the activity of the human
mind and of mindedness per se, and evidence of the progress and evolution of thought is the very
level of abstractness so attained through mental activity, should not the purely abstract entities of
mathematics and logic represent the timeless end product of a fundamental activity of thought that
has take place altogether outside the forms of space and time? In other words, given the
ultimate nature of mathematical entities and relationships, shouldnt we take their existence as
evidence of such an ultimate thinker? What Goedels theorem shows us, among other important
results is that the thought and the thinker are not and can never be one and the same. Godels
theorem demonstrates that whenever thought and thinker attempt to become one, an irresolvable
paradox of a recursion is created. Completeness without consistency and consistency
without completeness constitutes the basic proposition of Goedels theorem. The Platonic
tetrahedron seems inevitable perhaps this abstract geometrical figure can be easily entertained
within the minds eye. But what about the simplest possible proof of Cantors Continuum
Hypothesis? If this theorem is provable, its simplest proof may be well beyond the intellectual
capacity of any human mathematician, though a proof of the existence of such a simplest proof
may nonetheless be within the grasp of human mathematicians. And yet the theorem the truth
of which is well beyond human ken is just as much already there as is the simple Platonic solid
figure. Such inconceivable mathematical truths are already there, but what and where is this
domain in which these reside?

One function that Heisenberg uncertainty serves is that of preventing the use of quantum
nonlocality (nonlocal quantum correlated particles) for purposes of faster-than-light
intersubjective communication.

The three most basic components to being human appear to be (1) consciousness, (2) free will and
(3) moral sense.


The quantum nonlocal interactions manifested by the spin component particles, which result
from the decay of a spin 0 particle, require the transmission of a superluminal signal. The
question here is whether this signal passes from the measured particle to its partner within the
spacelike connected elsewhere region or passes backwards in time to the original pre-decay spin- 0
particle.

Are the two superluminal paths equivalent? Would their equivalence constitute a restatement of
Bohms assertion of equivalence between causal relationships and sets of quantum fluctuations
combined with the proper mutual correlation of these fluctuations? (Collective (quantum
statistical) vs. individual (causal) relationships may be indicated here) There apparently is
either a degeneracy-equivalence or a bona fide equivalence obtaining between the two forbidden
spacetime paths, one spacelike and one timelike. These two spacetime paths are characterized
by positive and negative imaginary momentum, respectively.

Equivalent to Bohms above-mentioned assertion is that of equivalence between quantum
mechanical expectation values and sets of quantum uncertainties combined with the quantum
fluctuations in the Heisenberg-uncertain quantities (see below).

There are two interpretations of the function of the resonant tunnel diode: electrons use Heisenberg
uncertain energy to hop over the potential energy barrier or electrons use Heisenberg positional
uncertainty go appear on the other side of the barrier. Note here that the larger become /\x
and /\E, the wider and taller are the barriers that the electron may tunnel or hop across.
It would seem at first that the electron, while tunneling must possess a momentum of magnitude of
> /\p and that the time that the electron spends within/over the barrier must be > /\t ~ h//\E. We
must keep in mind that during tunneling, the electrons motion is described by the relativistic
momentum-energy equation:

/\E**2 = /\p**2c**2 + m**2c**4.

So for an arbitrarily tall, arbitrarily thick barrier, /\E is arbitrarily large and /\p arbitrarily small,
implying a superluminal tunneling speed, /\E//\p. The electron does not penetrate the
potential energy barrier at a certain spot or area along the barriers height, unless the tunneling
time can be made sufficiently large. It appears that studying the relationships of the Heisenberg
uncertainties in p, E, x, and t to the potential energy barrier height, width and shape in quantum
tunneling experiments might help us to distinguish between cases where electrons tunnel versus
hop over the barrier, which is to say to distinguish cases where the respective Heisenberg
uncertainties are intrinsic to the particle crossing the barrier versus where these uncertainties are
endowed the particle through the quantum vacuums interaction with the particle, e.g., vacuum
energy fluctuations helping the particle over the barrier.

The behavior of quantum tunneling particles may be due to the combined effect of the inherent
quantum uncertainties of the particle (as a result of how the particle was initially prepared)
combined with the uncertainties the particle is endowed with are a result of the exchanges of
virtual momentum and energy between the tunneling particle and the modified vacuum within the
potential energy barrier.

How much does backwards-acting quantum measurement contribute to the phenomenon of
quantum mechanical decoherence?

Do acts of quantum measurement result in the informing (or contaminating) of the intersubjective
vacuum with correlation sets transmitted to this vacuum by the Heisenberg-uncertain energy
associated with the observers subjective temporality? Could there exist an accumulated effect
upon the correlational structure of the intersubjective quantum vacuum after the fashion of
Sheldrakes formative causation?

In the case where the signal is assumed to be a backwards-traveling, superluminal one, the signal
in effect programs nonlocal connections within the fluctuational structure of the Heisenberg
uncertainties of one side (or the other) of the complementarity-paired, quantum-numbered
physical quantities of the quantum-measured system, in this case the unstable spin-0 particle.
Whereas passage of the signal backwards in time may violate spacetime symmetry and/or
causality itself, at least physical continuity is maintained. In the case where the signal is
assumed to pass into the elsewhere region, both causality and physical continuity are violated.

The origin of the preexistent nonlocal correlations of fluctuations making up Heisenberg
uncertainties is an open question although it could be that the meaning of the indeterminacy
principle as amplified by our knowledge of violations of Bells inequality requires that these
correlations not function after the fashion of hidden variables, i.e., variables that together with a
set of inputted values determine the outcome of a quantum mechanical measurement.

This reprogramming of the correlational structure of the energy fluctuation spectrum forming
the Heisenberg uncertain energy of the quantum system upon which delayed quantum
measurement is being performed appears to rely upon a 2
nd
temporal degree of freedom, which is
to say, two-dimensional time.

Although the backwards-in-time propagation of information from the
quantum-measurement-performing observer (this signal would not be accessible to any other
observer) has an effect similar to what would be expected from a hidden variable theory of
quantum measurement. The system upon measurement produces a physical observable by way
of a dynamics altogether different from that by which the observer chooses his experimental setup.

Are alternate quantum universes distinguished as spacelike or as timelike separated timelines?

The initial and boundary conditions of the wavefunction may be determined by the classical
physical actions of the observers body upon the experimental apparatuses. The actual dynamics
by which one eigenvalue is chosen from out of the field of all possible eigenvalues is itself a choice
not determined by the initial and boundary conditions. Only the initial and boundary conditions
of a system are subject to being engineered. The dynamics constrained by the boundary
conditions is not subject to engineering design. If computing devices shall ever be conscious, it
shall only be upon the initiative of the vacuum energy field dynamics so constrained by the
engineered boundary conditions. This line of reasoning points up the misguided nature of hard
AI ambitions of engineering a conscious computing device.


The use of a barrier to control the flow of electrons from one lead to the other is the basis of
transistors. The miniaturization of solid-state devices cant continue forever. That is, eventually
the barriers that are the key to transistor function will be too small to control quantum effects and
the electrons will tunnel when the transistor should be off [italics mine]. This passage points
us in the direction that computer engineering shall have to take if an intelligent (or so-called)
conscious computer shall one day be produced.


The choice of the observer of the particular experimental setup, i.e., quantum basis states is akin to
the choice by a mathematician of which arithmetic-containing, logico-deductive system to
utilize for the demonstration (or disproving) of some theorem equivalently expressible in terms of
the symbology particular to that system.

But the choice of the system of basis states supposedly doesnt possess any relevance for
determining the results of measurement any given system of state vectors (spanning the systems
Hilbert space) is just as good as any other, right? That is to say, isnt any of these state vector
bases equivalent to any of the others? This is a deep and important question for any theory of
quantum measurement. An example of the inequivalence of state vector bases is provided by
the simple case of electron spin measurement through use of an applied uniform magnetic field.
If the fluctuation-correlational structure of the quantum vacuum electromagnetic field (vef) (the
vef dynamics) has been biased in some fashion, i.e., if the quantum vacuum were to exhibit some
type of memory, e.g., hysteresis due to prior presence of strong magnetic fields, and this were to
break the symmetry of state-vector-basis-independence, then the biasing of the results of quantum
measurement of spin would have to be explained in one of two ways, one superficial, the other
fundamental. The superficial explanation of the biasing of the spin measurements would be to
invoke the notion of fine or subtle boundary conditions being imposed upon the quantum vef.
The deep or fundamental explanation of this biasing would be one where the very dynamics of the
vef has been changed through a historical process.

If there is an equivalent quantum-statistical description for the operation of fundamental forces,
e.g., electromagnetic, strong nuclear, etc., then we should be able to find a complete quantum
statistical description of the action of gravitation one constituting a mechanism for gravitation,
even if we are still centuries away from successfully quantizing the gravitational field, which is to
say representing gravity as a fundamental force on a par with the other three heretofore known
fundamental exchange forces. In the case of the electromagnetic force, the alternative
mechanism for the action of gravitation upon photons, i.e., redshift (energy-shift) and light
deflection (momentum-shift) was, respectively, the polarization and magnetization of the quantum
vacuums virtual electric dipoles and magnetons.

Gravitational light deflection, in which the angular momenta of deflected spin-1 photons are
tipped, is just the manifest part of the movement of the photon through a vacuum
electromagnetic field of spatiotemporally varying 4-angular momentum. Gravitational redshift
of photons climbing out of a gravitational potential may be conceptualized in terms of a shift in
DeBroglie wavelength of quantum entangled field of virtual photons that must accompany a
decrease in the density of correlated virtual photons with increasing radial distance from some
gravitating body.

Question: do inputs to physical observable variables smaller in magnitude than the corresponding
variable Heisenberg uncertainties cause any kind of alteration or shift in the center of mass of the
respective H-uncertainties? It would seem that the no hidden variables prohibition would
seem to prevent such an alteration to Heisenberg uncertainties the inputs should be completely
absorbed within the larger H-uncertain quantities. Well then, what about repeated inputs, each
smaller than /\q, but collectively greater than /\q? This should depend upon the phase
relationships between the inputs contained within the collective set, c.f., quantum measurement as
necessarily producing a disruption in the delicate tissue of quantum phase relations between basis
eigenfunctions.

Exactly analogous to the engineering design of the, e.g., quantum electromagnetic field boundary
conditions are the logical axioms and rules of inference by which theorems are proven. In
contrast to the Godel-incompleteness represented by any and all computer engineering designs
we may contrast what we might term the Bohm-completeness of the dynamical substrate of the
nonlocally connected quantum vacuum constrained by such a computer engineering design.

Quantum computation would exhibit the same information-processing features as the dynamic
by which the results of quantum measurement are determined through observer-interaction with a
prepared quantum mechanical system. But quantum computation should not be expected to
reproduce the dynamics by which the observer chooses the quantum mechanical basis states, i.e.,
the particular Hilbert space in terms of which the results of quantum measurement are to be sought.

It is true vis a vis Wigners theory of quantum measurement that consciousness collapses the
wavefunction. But such a situation only becomes possible in the first instance provided that
the observer first exerts his free will in initially preparing the quantum system prior to performing
his measurement, i.e., chooses the basis of the state space of possible eigenfunctions in order that
the associated eigenvalues may be determined through conscious measurement.

The fact that superluminal signals may pass through the Heisenberg-uncertain momentum-energy
of the quantum vacuum without violation of the relativistic ban on superluminal information
transmission rates might seem to suggest that only data rather than information may be carried by
such signals. But exactly the contrary is true. Data may be understood as uninterpreted
information and information as interpreted data. Data, therefore being accessible to any
observer, i.e., intersubjective, must not traverse more rapidly than c without generation of a
temporal logical paradox. Information, on the other hand, being coded for accessibility to only a
single mind, may propagate with any velocity.
July 2011
In fact the proper temporal orchestration
of perception, thought, decision, intention and action within the specious present of individual
consciousness appears to depend on the superluminal nature of energies smaller than the brains
/\E vis a vis the experiments of Benjamin Libet. Note that the superluminal quantum effects are
also the result of an observation or measurement performed by a single individual. It is thought
that information may change form innumerable times, but what is intended here is data, not
information. If one looks at data in its original form, there one finds the context at the beginning
of the data transformation, the data must ab initio be symbols within a language. Machine
translation can be rescued by reestablishing the original context anew. Only the insight of
conscious being(s) can do this. Entanglement encoded information is contained within the
Heisenberg energy uncertainties. Reduction of Heisenberg uncertainty represents creation of
information or just the transduction of information. Information moves inside /\Q while data
move outside /\Q.

Is there an objectivist-epistemological interpretation of the act of quantum measurement?
Quantum observations can never be performed by collective entities, only by individual persons.

The act of interpretation may be likened to the performance of a (quantum) measurement.
Measurement (observation by a conscious person) constitutes the reduction in Heisenberg
uncertainty with respect to a set of commuting quantum observables, accompanied by the
expansion of this H-uncertainty in the direction of a complementary set of quantum observables.

There is a possible thermodynamic theorem here (related to the negative energy conservation
theorem) in which the quantity of information resulting from the reduction of H-uncertainty must
always be less in magnitude than that lost in the creation of H-uncertainty with respect to the
complementary quantum observables. This may also be closely connected with the already
noted slight inequivalence of information with negentropy. Theorem: the quantity of system
negentropy is always greater than the quantity of (usable) information residing in the system.

Similar to the application of the 2
nd
Law of Thermodynamics to a nonideal Carnot engine, i.e., the
engine can never extract all of the energy available (to an ideal Carnot engine) to do work is our
negentropy principle, which states that only a portion of the (ideally) accessible information within
a system may be accessed. A concept analogous to that of free energy might be definable for
what might be termed free information. Interestingly, the above considerations may point up
an important relationship between information-negentropy and inertial mass upon reconsidering
the relativistic momentum-mass-energy equation:

/\E**2 = /\p**2c**2 + m**2c**4.


Now the concept of negentropy was introduced due to the irreversible effect of observation upon
quantum systems and system Heisenberg uncertainties.

The gravitational redshift is evidence of the inertia of energy, that is, of the inertia acquired by
the vacuum when pervaded by gravitational fields.

If the consciousness of the brain is to be properly attributed to the action of the brains specific
causal powers for processing information, then the publicly inaccessible negentropy of the brain
must not be publicly accessible per impossible or merely accessible in principle. This is just
to say that it should be possible for the heretofore distinct consciousnesses of two individual
persons to merge or coalesce provided that proper adjustments are effected at a deep enough
physical level within the brains of each. This implies that the deep enough level must lie
within the realm of the nonlocal whether this is the realm of the quantum nonlocal or not
remains at this stage an open question. This is also to suggest that, at a deep enough level of
physical reality a substrate of universal consciousness must be reached.

We may wish to identify what we formerly identified as information as negentropy and what we
formerly identified as data as uninterpreted or context-free information. Negentropy may turn
out to be information that can only be fully accessed from within a consciousness. Information
may be thought of as a kind of baroque slicing of negentropy, i.e., information as a highly
idiosyncratic representation of negentropy. (Does the discussion at this point almost touch upon
the distinction of legal positivism vs. original understanding or literary positivism vs. authorial
intent?)? At any rate, there is obviously a confusion here that is yet to be worked out with
regard to the proper definitions of data, information and negentropy, which bears further
investigation.

(Penroses gravitational quantum decoherence theory, that is, the decoherence of quantum systems
is owing to the weight of the mass differences between the systems quantum-superposed
configurations)

@$
Information may be understood as before in terms of interpreted data.
Prn=
Negentropy, on the
other hand, may be understood as contextualized data. These are not equivalent quantities of
data. Contextualized data are data within the space of all possible interpretations of the data.
This distinction suggests a parallel one of state vector (interpreted data) vs. Hilbert space
(contextualized data) in which the state vector resides. Each observer operates out of his/her
own personalized Hilbert space, which is related to the fact of each observers brain being
grounded in its own quantum vacuum (H-uncertainty). What contextualizes the quantum
mechanical data is the particular vacuum containing the quantum-correlated fluctuational structure
in terms of which all causal and potential causal relationships within the associated Hilbert space.

(April 2010) Data back-react upon the context transforming them into information. So there can
be no clear and fast distinction between information and data. This may suggest that data may be
endlessly reprocessed in some contexts and finitely reprocessed within others. Data possess a
rationality that always goes beyond their particular information-giving context. The same is true
of the data of human sense experience and perception. Does consciousness relate to the
open-ended nature of the data of individual experience? Certainly there is nothing to prevent the
data of individual human experience from an indefinite number of individual human beings from
being combined together within a new embedding context or matrix such that trans-human
meanings result from the reprocessing of this collective human experiential data? If data could
be experimentally distinguished from mere data (or is this distinction merely relative to a given
metalevel of overlap between data-as-information and information-as-data?), then one could do a
kind of SETI-like survey of ones environment to determine if other minds were indeed present,
i.e., one could determine if one was only receiving data (sense data) or whether there was an
information contaminant carried along with this data or if ones brain was otherwise receiving
information signals, i.e.,. signals from other minds. First the implications of the quantum
mechanism of general anesthesia would have to be much more exhaustively investigated so that
one could learn to distinguish unconscious data from conscious information within the brains
microtubule networks and then seek to apply this empirical knowledge to the examination of data
streaming into the brains various sense organs.

(Notebook, Logicomix) Discovered in 1901, as Russell was working on his first book on the
foundations of mathematics, the Principles of Mathematics (published in 1903), the Paradox, in
the form originally expressed, shows an essential flaw in Cantors set theory, developed from
Bolzanos simple concept of a collection of elements with a common property. By the generality
of this definition, which Frege extended to the realm of logic, one can speak of a sets of sets and
thus, eventually of the set of all sets. Of the elements of this all-encompassing set one defines the
property of self-inclusiveness, i.e. of a set containing itself as an element. Thus, for example, the
set of all sets is a set (and thus contained in itself), as is the set of all entries in a list (it can appear
as an entry in a list), but the set of all numbers is not a number and thus not contained in itself. By
virtue of this property, we can define the set of all sets which dont contain themselves, and ask,
with the young Russell, the question: Does this set contain itself or not? See what happens: if it
does contain itself, it follows that it is one of the sets which dont contain themselves (as this is the
property that characterizes elements of this set) and thus cannot contain itself. But if it doesnt
contain itself, then it does not have the property of not containing itself, and thus does contain
itself. This situation, in which assuming something implies its negation, and vice versa, is called a
paradox. When a paradox, such as Russells, arises in a theory, it is a sign that one of its basic
premises, definitions or axioms is faulty.

Bohms much noted equivalence of causal relationships with quantum fluctuation-correlational
structure must be broadly enough understood to include both forward and backwards propagating
causal influences. ^^Forward-propagating causal influences by themselves are inadequate for
implementing quantum-computational, classical-noncomputable computations.

The massive energy of the vacuum likely lies along an energy dimension orthogonal to that of the
corresponding classical physical quantity. Similarly, the time lying between instantaneous and
superluminal, i.e., time possessing a direction within the elsewhere region of spacetime also
contains a component pointing in a direction orthogonal to that of ordinary temporal evolution.
What the fuzziness of epistemological quantum uncertainty contains are the normal everyday
objects as well as others with which we are not yet familiar. The fuzziness of ontological
quantum uncertainty resolves itself into a lesser uncertainty only by becoming quantum entangled
with the quantum fluctuations lying outside the original quantum uncertainty boundary. This
seems paradoxical increasing the spectrum of quantum correlated vacuum fluctuations
corresponding to a particular quantum uncertainty decreases this uncertainty. But this may make
sense in accordance with a holographic information coding principle. Here we see two
complementary (and counterbalancing) uncertainties, the standard Heisenberg quantum
uncertainty (epistemological) and the anomalous holographic quantum uncertainty (ontological).
Epistemological Heisenberg uncertainty is the standard uncertainty explicated by the old light
microscope thought experiment by which the uncertainty principle is demonstrated within the
context of the so-called Old Quantum Theory. Ontological Heisenberg uncertainty is a more
fundamental type grounded in the underlying quantum entanglement and feedback that obtains
between the quantum dynamics of the observers brain and the quantum ground state (or vacuum
state) underlying the system being observed. Black hole information, i.e., the information
concerning the mass prior to its collapse, must be coded into the nonlocal correlations between
quantum fluctuations on the black holes surface. Black hole collapse represents approaching a
limit upon the density of nonlocally correlated fluctuations in a certain slice of (3 + 1) spacetime
that may be alternately expressed as correlated fluctuations upon a slice of (2 + 1) timespace.
The event horizon of a black hole in an artifact of the informational equivalence of (3+1)
spacetime and (2 + 1) timespace.

As all formal systems, i.e., systems of logic (in the Godelian sense) are founded upon the empty
set, [-0-], it follows that such formal systems cannot be about anything, that is, can carry no
reference to an outside of the system.

Laughter is motivated by a reglimpsing of our liberation (as conscious beings) from the social and
biological necessities that ruled our former, automata-like selves. Laughter is the pleasant
experience of surprise in the sudden recognition of wonder by conscious beings at the play of their
own consciousnesses.

Chemical reactions are forbidden due to barriers of symmetry, meaning that quantum mechanical
selection rules prevent a particular reaction from occurring. This is because if the reaction were
to go through, some particular physical quantity associated with a quantum number would fail to
be conserved. More generally speaking, the probability would not be conserved during the
forbidden chemical reaction. For this reason the distinction between the merely infinitely
improbable, e.g., quantum tunneling of a particle across a barrier of many orders of magnitude
greater potential energy than the kinetic energy of the particle and the impossible, e.g., a
transformation or reaction violating some quantum selection rule, is a well-founded distinction
within quantum theory.

A Nokia cell phone can be programmed to detect police radar speed traps. This follows from
the fact that any computer complex enough to handle simple arithmetic constitutes a Turing
machine. There are of course calculational operations too simple to be captured within the scope
of basic arithmetic. And it is to these processes we must turn whenever we are required to think
creatively. The idea that there is indeed some algorithmic possibility within the realm of the
less complex than arithmetic is usually overlooked when entertaining Godelian discussions of
the limits of the human mind. Such a hypersimple arithmetic certainly needs to be investigated
in connection with the philosophy of mind.

What is the difference between stimulating the quantum vacuum to reveal its latent structure
through manifesting of new particles (as excited states of this vacuum) and inducing the creation of
new, unprefigured vacuum structures? Does the boundary of the arithmetic (in Goedels sense)
play a defining role here? On one side of this boundary, recursion threatens the start of an
infinite regression; on the other side of this boundary such a logical paradox poses no real threat.
Have we in some way identified here the proper demarcation between open and closed dynamical
(as well as computational) systems? Consciousness seems to present us with an example in
which the recursion of infinite regress threatens no harm, i.e., does not threaten to cause system
disintegration, but rather with a case where infinite regress is foundational to the dynamical/
computational structure of the system. We might say that consciousness does an end run
around the limitations normally imposed upon the system by the quantum mechanical selection
rules. As these selection rules are founded in the conservation of various
quantum-number-associated conserved physical quantities, the boundary between inside (which
contains the conserved quantities) and outside (from which all violations of conservation
originate) must be pointed up by the conserving or nonconserving behavior of elements
contained within the system. Here we see the importance of the consideration of topology
where the various distinctions between computable vs. noncomputable, symmetrical vs.
asymmetrical, periodic vs. aperiodic, conserved vs. nonconserved, reversible vs. irreversible,
linear vs. recursive, logical vs. paradoxical, natural vs. anomalous, 4- vs. 3+1-spacetime,
spatialized vs. temporal time, grammar vs. rhetoric, etc.

The distinction of initial/boundary conditions vs. dynamics does not seem to line up with the above
list of dual distinctions. This is because this later distinction is based in a tri- rather than
bi-valent. The tertiary element of the trivalent distinction is choice, i.e., the choice of the
observer determining the values of the initial and boundary conditions of the quantum mechanical
system he is preparing. This is the famous basis problem of quantum measurement theory,
which is treated in distinctly different manner by each quantum ontology, i.e., ontological
interpretation of quantum theory/quantum measurement. Each distinct manner of interpreting
quantum mechanics with respect to the measurement problem may be understood as a distinct
logical system (system of axioms and rules of inference) for quantum mechanical behavior.

The logic of the systems behavior does not necessarily have to be determined in advance for us to
identify a systems behavior as being distinctly quantum mechanical in nature. This is because
what makes a system quantum in nature is not merely the logic underlying the systems behavior,
but the causal powers of the system (in Searles sense of the systems simulation-transcending
powers). The nature of logic is disembodied because the system implementing a given logic
always possess a logic outstripping the logic it implements. This residuum of greater logic
exhibited by logic-implementing concrete systems, i.e., the causal powers of the system, is
necessary if the system is to possess the capacity for switching between different logics.

We see that there is what might be termed key, foundational or controlling dualities, i.e., the
dualities upon which a particular technology is founded, e.g., the Star Trek communicator was
foundational to the technology of a post-warp culture.

When a single ground state becomes inadequate to support a given quantum system, the system is
no longer properly described by a pure state wavefunction. A complex entity, e.g.,
Schrodingers Cat must be sustained by a congeries of entangled quantum vacua. A single
quantum vacuum is unitary, evolves deterministically and is described by a pure state
wavefunction. A similar statement applies to any quantum mechanical system supported by a
single ground state. Arguably, the system and its ground state are indistinct. Upon
observation, the system and its vacuum (ground) state decouple and the system now becomes
coupled to the complex vacuum state composed of the original systems and the observers
quantum vacuum. If these two vacua are incommensurate, then the systems wavefunction
must collapse. The observers brain is far too complex to be described by a pure state
wavefunction. Does each observers embedding quantum vacuum support the existence of a
uniquely corresponding universe? An individual quantum vacuum state is nonlocally
connected throughout and with itself. A collective of such quantum vacua introduce locality,
i.e., causality at their respective intersections or interfaces. The collective vacua do not evolve
unitarily as some of the temporal evolution of the collective vacuum must involve evolution of
patterns of mutual interference between the collective vacuums component quantum vacua.

When we say that context is required for the circulation of nerve impulses in the brain to possess
intentionality, i.e., aboutness we are secretly requiring not only that these networks of
circulating nerve currents refer to something, but that, still more, the embedding context of the
brains neural activity must somehow refer to this neural activity itself must take this neural
activity in account along with whatever else the embedding context happens to be doing at the
time. In this way, context provides meaning through a kind of hand shake. It is as
though the conscious awareness of the flow of neural impulses is constituted by the response of
some supporting medium to the passage of such impulses through itself, after the fashion of ripples
in a pond created when moving a stick through the waters surface.


Nothing analogous to consciousness could itself be conscious. This is what we are really
saying when we assert that it is possible (in principle) for a digital computer to be conscious.

Concepts possess a somewhat paradoxical nature as subjective and intersubjective, e.g., my
concepts by the same name are not yours, yet we manage to successfully communicate. Each
speaker has a license to use concepts in his or her own way though within limits socially and
culturally set (though not necessarily explicitly defined). Similarly, language also has a life of
its own apart from it myriad users, each to his or her own purpose. Language is what humans
participate in rather than master and own. But each concept figures within the individuals
linguistic network, iceberg-like and in a way unique to that particular user of that concept. There
are present multiple layers of intersubjective and subjective, remembered, present and anticipated
(past, present and future).

Thematic kernels or nuclei organize our act of perceptual filtering. What if the relationship of
our concepts to reality can be only one of a metaphorical nature?

Not shear complexity, but complexity relative to and within the context of the quantum vacuum as
ultimate arbiter of meaning, which beyond a certain threshold impinges upon the realm of
consciousness. This threshold is determined by relative permutational-combinational
complexity, at which the real time computational capacity of the starting vacuum state is
exhausted, leading to topological transformation, i.e., quantum tunneling taking place between
distinct topological configurations. Glitches can be of two kinds: spontaneous disruption of
higher processing of the data (this is importantly related to the topology change due to quantum
tunneling of ground states between distinct vacua) or spontaneous disruption in stored patterns or
transmitted sequences of binary elements.

Higher processing, i.e., information processing is to be distinguished from mere data processing
after the fashion of topologically distinct temporal sequences and spatial patterns. Processing
of a string of binary digits according to a code that can be adequately interpreted according to a
fixed set of rules (essentially similar to the rules of inference of symbolic logic) would not
constitute the processing of information.

What can we say about the code that cannot be computed by the system providing our output,
which is in turn interpreted via utilization of this same code?

The proper interpreting of a data string must ultimately be the performing of some action?



Our social order will probably seem complex to you. To tell the truth, I dont understand it clearly
myself. Nobody does, c.f., The Sleeper Awakens (1899) by H. G. Wells. <societal holism>

Thematic kernels or nuclei of perceptual organization exist which guide the construction of
perception of situational context. What if the relationship of our concepts to reality can be only
one of a metaphorical nature?

What constitutes the relevant surroundings of a person who is a brain in a vat (BIV) is the
informational system to which the persons brain is network-connected, not some system of
objects possessing no more connection to the persons brain than that of superficial geometric
relationship. The internal-external categorical distinction must be subsumed by a quantum
nonlocal, network-informational paradigm of connectivity. Within this paradigm external
would be equated with potentially internal. Moreover, there would need to be a third category of
the multiply internal. Is memory just an epiphenomenon of temporal integration? But
temporal integration presupposes some objective biographical timeline along which data may be
taken up into an integral temporal structure.

February 2013
There are three collections of inputs that we would like to consider for our brain in a
vat: inputs that are only internal to the brain itself, inputs from an external world not possessing
other minds, inputs from an external world populated by other minds. In light of the above the
question arises: if all that matters to experience is the sequence of the inputs to the system, then
what material difference does it make to the brian in a vat whether its inputs come from itself, an
external world void of other minds, or from an external world indeed populated with teeming
millions of other minds? Is there some relevant difference in the topology of the inputs that we
could possibly point to in order to differentiate the the three cases, one from the other, that is, from
the standpoint of the would-be solipsistic conscious observer? I think a relevant consideration
here is the necessary topological distinctness of classically correlated fluctuations and quantum
correlated fluctuations, Shannon entropy and von Neumann entropy, classical information and
quantum information, and so on.


The problems of Chalmers envatment, Plantingas other minds and my longstanding
metaphysical problem of perceptual causal etiology are closely related as are different branches
radiating from some more basic root problem, which remains at present unspecified.

There is only one Universe, but there is a possibility for the existence of as many matrices,
c.f., the movie, The Matrix as there are extraterrestrial civilizations technologically advanced
enough to engineer their own matrix. This suggests that the probability that we are in a
matrix is high if the number of such technologically advanced civilizations in the Universe is
much larger than unity. This is just a simple and more elegant restatement of the so-called Sagan
hypothesis. The Sagan hypothesis as we recall, postulated that since the distribution of
intelligence amongst extraterrestrial civilizations (as reflected in the state of technological
development of each civilization) conforms to a bell curve distribution with an average level of
technological development on the order of a 100 million years of technological age, the
overwhelming probability is that our civilization is far older than its apparent age of approximately
5000 years. Hence, we must be living within a matrix where we, the creators of this matrix
are secretly members of a very ancient and hyper-technologically-advanced civilization in which
we only appear to be these little pissant human-monkey primates occupying the very beginning
stages of intelligent civilization. The question arises as to why, if we are really so advanced, we
should have opted for life within such a relatively impoverished virtual reality?

As a conscious brain moves through the quantum vacuum (even if only with uniform motion) the
character of the entanglement of the brains 2**2
N
qubits must be continually updated through
changes in the orientation of these qubits associated quantum state pointers. This is akin to the
continual updating of hyperlinks within webpages on the Internet. The degradation (through
gradual decoherence) of the state of quantum entanglement of the brains 2**2
N
states is closely
analogous to the degradation of weblinks in a hypermedia object, what is commonly termed link
rot. The nature of the quantum state of entanglement of the brains 2**2
N
qubits is dependent
upon the nature of interaction between the brain and its embedding environment. This means that
what takes place within the quantum state of the brain has relevance to the outside world, which is
absolutely required if the brain is to possess intentional states of consciousness.

As the
speed of light is approached, the quantum vacuum requires more and more time outside of time to
update the subsequent quantum state of the object being accelerated toward the ultimate limit of
velocity, c.

Reaching the same conclusion by another, apparently distinctly different path of logical or
mathematical inference, experiencing the reappearance of something that had disappeared prior,
hearing the same tale told once again many years after the first time, etc. are all examples of
experiencing evidence of the constancy, consistency and stability of the world, what might be
termed realness.
@$
A notable psychological trait of the human psyche is a tendency to
experience gratification through experiencing a sense of greater realness of the world. Humans
however also experience excitement in the face of novelty, but it might be argued that this is
secretly excitement about encountering a manifestation of greater realness (higher being).

Piecemeal alteration of the structure and functioning of the brain while this brain remains
conscious. There is a causal relationship between the changes to consciousness boundary
conditions that are being provoked by some outside agent, e.g., Descartes demon. But these
changes being initiated through the act of some agent makes such changes originate altogether
from outside the physical system that is the person/subjects brain. A freely willed action is the
intervention of an open system upon the closed system of conserved energy (the Universe). Yet
the individual mind undergoing the experience of its brain/boundary conditions network being
altered by some outside agency can/cannot see the series of resulting phenomenal changes as
themselves being part of a causal series. Or if he does, then wouldnt the texture of his experience
appear to have the consistency of a dream? This is on account of the implied infinite regress
involved in a mind probing its brain with ever sharpening precision while at the same time storing
the data thus acquired within the brain being probed. Some models of consciousness assume the
intrinsic completion of this implied infinite regress outside of time, which makes this peculiar
structure of consciousness as its own self-representation the very basis for the minds intuition of
the passage of subjective time.

But could the person/subject of the above perhaps misguided brain experiment overcome this
threat of infinite regress by so to speak probing in the other direction, that is, in the direction of
@$
undoing the metaphorical structures forming the basic elements of the socially constructed self?

Consciousness boils down to the function of the self in experiencing itself as other, e.g., when one
is truly ones own true self, that is, one is caught up in some powerful and immediate experience,
this is when one loses ones sense of possessing a separate self.





The Matrix nonetheless yields reality, c.f., problem of etiology in perception of the external world
and .ppt presentation, The Matrix as Metaphysics, by David J. Chalmers.

Searles Chinese Room is only the simulation of a prearranged question and answer session and
wouldnt constitute and actual passing of the Turing Test. Since the first time the Chinese
Room system was knocked out of book its ability to properly field questions in Chinese would
demonstrably break down. The fact that there can be no book for conscious human beings -
because of the limitations upon logical systems specified by Goedels Incompleteness Theorem
means that failure of the human subject to pass the Turing Test doesnt constitute any proof that a
given human being is not conscious.

Zenon Pylyshn asks if every neuron is replaced with transistors would intentionality be lost?
Yes, because intentionality is aboutness, which requires context and the manner in which
neurons plug into the network are distinctly different. Pylyshns questions embodies the naive
assumption that thinking is just manipulation of abstract symbols, i.e., symbols divorced from an
embedding within some substrate (realm of concrete reference). Pylyshns question furthermore
carries with it the assumption that computation underlying thought (thinking in Heideggers sense)
does or can or must take place within a closed system, that is to say, a system that is stand alone
and not plugged into any larger context or network, i.e., open system of knowledge and
information.

The effect of a consciousness moving through spacetime should be synonymous with the
acceleration of a mass through spacetime due to the similarity in vacuum updating requirements,
intersubjective in the first case, subjective in the second. Three kinds of variables: global, local
and free. Velocity, acceleration and jerk, angular momentum vs. angular acceleration: angular
momentum is an acceleration and angular acceleration is a jerk. The Davies-Unruh effect is not
observed for uniformly moving reference frames, however, this effect, if purely subjective in
nature, should be observed by a uniformly moving consciousness.

When symmetry breaks, some of the earlier massless particles acquire mass. What symmetry
when unbroken represents a situation in which no particles possess mass? Answer: spacetime
symmetry of the vacuum as a virtual particle-antiparticle field. So the vacuum possesses no
mass unless and until its spacetime symmetry is broken not by gravity per se, but by the
mechanism by which gravity is parasitically produced (as a residuum of imperfectly mutually
cancelled virtual fermionic and bosonic quantum fluctuations). The mechanism of the breaking
of the spacetime symmetry of the quantum vacuum is the very same mechanism underlying
gravitation, rather than gravity itself actually being what breaks the vacuums spacetime
symmetry.

Data transmits and information resonates. Information is transmitted underneath spacetime via
fluctuations (nonlocal energy fluctuations) and correlations (nonlocal momentum fluctuations).
Causality is constituted by a web of relationships between data. Rather than information being
fundamentally interpreted data, we understand data to be artifacts of information systems (artifacts
of attempts to communicate).


The existence of antiparticles is required by Lorentz spacetime symmetry. The fact that
deviations from this symmetry are not even expected until the Planck energy scale is approached
(at which quantum gravity effects are expected to become important) combined with the fact of
matters overabundance in the Universe relative to antimatter may well imply that there was an era
quite early in the Universes history in which there existed very nearly equal amounts of matter
and antimatter. But as a result of a nearly complete recombination of matter with antimatter, but
a tiny fraction of the originally very slightly overabundant quantity remained, i.e., matter. That
the remaining substance surviving the recombination era turned out to be matter rather than
antimatter does not relate to any physically substantive issue and is a case of mere semantics
(on one level since we should have termed matter whatever was left over post recombination).
Though on another level, there being a real distinction (and asymmetry) between matter and
antimatter, there must be a physical reason why the Universe started out skewed toward matter
rather than antimatter. of course a trivial problem of arbitrary semantics. The matter and
antimatter that combined and mutually annihilated should have left behind a large quantity of
energy, which we identify with the energy of the quantum vacuum (or at least a fundamental
component of this vacuum energy). It should be possible to calculate the density of this
component of the vacuums energy relative to the density of mass energy simply by noting the
energy scale at which Lorentz invariance fails.

The conservation of angular momentum in the form of /\x/\p is not independent of its conservation
in the form of /\t/\E. Nonlocally correlated quantum fluctuations contained within these angular
momentum uncertainties are responsible for angular momentum conservation in both of the above
forms.

Expectation values, <Q> ~ boundary conditions
Fluctuations, <Q**2> ~ dynamics

Supposedly, according to Bohm (1951), all causal relationships (between expectation values) may
be recast in terms of fluctuations and their mutual respective correlations.

Entanglement is a kind of correlation - that of nonlocally connected components of a quantum
mechanical system described by an individual wavefunction.

Can a so-called pure state be reconstituted from a mixed state? It would seem so since it
should always be possible to diagonalize the density matrix describing the mixed quantum state,
i.e., describing the statistical mixture of quantum states.



Selection might explain the emergence of local order in the history of evolution about as well as
refinements taking place within a closed system constituted by a classical digital computer.
Such refinements would be the equivalent of a programming of the computer by a chance
sequence of inputs. Consciousness is noncomputable and so is the emergence of life.

Is there any set of opinions that truly constitute what one really thinks? Does thought originate
from outside the condition within which it appears to arise?




Mutual phase relations may either be integrated, reflecting quantum entanglement or not. Phase
locking of relative frequencies doesnt equate with integratioo of quantum entanglements. Can
different mutually exclusive states (of the same particle, say) become quantum entangled? Or is
that the very meaning of entanglement? Rate and direction of time are these alone adequate to
fix spacetime structure? Or must internal relations of the observers consciousness contribute to
determining (along with not just an objective external world, but also (and necessarily) along with
such internal relations within other observers). Lying at the core of the deconstructive critique is
a suspicion that we are not persons, but only simulations of persons (simulants or simulacra),
and yet we appear to possess the concept of what a (real) person is. This is the insight that was
used by Descartes for just the opposite critique (of atheism) to that of deconstructionists.

We carry around with us a sense of self and identity that seems to far outstrip a merely socially
constructed self. /\t and /\E may just be geometric projections of /\t and /\E in which phase
space is (is not) conserved, c.f., internal correlations, quantum entanglement.


Data vs. information: the loss of information, its nonconservation is no paradox (nor is the failure
of conservation o data since the processing of data always leads to the creation of additional data).
Conservation in general requires (1) substance to be conserved, (2) a container for the substance
and (3) constancy of the quantity of substance within the container

But if data are to become information, the data must be given context and integrated. The
providing of context is tantamount to processing of the original quantity of information, leading
to nonconservation. In short, information cannot be about anything if information is truly a
conserved quantity (like mass or energy). And if information is not a conserved quantity, then
information may not be properly thought to be a quantity at all. Is it possible for symbols to
refer to their referents after the fashion of divining the quantum state of system by performing a
nondestructive measurement upon the system? (See papers by Lev Vaidman and Roger Penrose
on interaction-free quantum measurement.)

An interaction-free quantum measurement (IFQM) may only be demonstrated if the quantum state
of the system has been prepared by the one performing the IFQM or the information about how the
quantum state was prepared is provide the person who is about to perform the IFQM. However,
this doesnt exclude the possibility that observers (and the environment, as well) perform
interaction-free quantum measurements all the time and at every turn. The problem is to perform
such a measurement and to know one has performed such a measurement. Here prediction is to
control as interaction-free quantum measurement (IFQM) is to X. The question of whether
IFQM is actually a trivial feature of quantum measurement theory is bound up with the peculiar
nature of X. One thing we might say about X is that this type of measurement is enabled
through a careful engineering of initial and boundary conditions, which is to say, that one is able to
obtain knowledge of all of the initial and boundary conditions that go into defining the set of
possible states of what we will term X(F) where F is the system being measured.



Of course, the concept of quantum mechanical spin is a far more general than that of
electromagnetism, upon which to base a mechanism for gravitation. Especially since
electromagnetism has already been unified with the weak and strong nuclear forces, basing a
mechanism of gravitation only on electromagnetism would necessarily pose a stumbling block
toward the eventual unification of gravity with the other fundamental interactions. To wit,
saying that gravity is secretly a purely electromagnetic phenomenon when one knows that
electromagnetism has been proven to be only a component of a unified electroweak-strong nuclear
field, when one also knows that gravity is universal in its action (through Einsteins equivalence
principle) is to advance a logically inconsistent position.


Information increases exponentially with register size
e.g. 2
300 > 1090 > # atoms in the universe!
a 300-qubit register cannot be simulated
on a classical computer! (~ Feynman 1982)
However: only n bits of classical info can be extracted
(in a single realization)


Perhaps the most satisfying aspect is the realization that constructing such quantum computers
will not require the fabrication of tiny circuits of atomic scale or any other sophisticated advance in
nanotechnology. Indeed, nature has already completed the hardest part of the process by
assembling the basic components. All along, ordinary molecules have known how to do a
remarkable kind of computation. People were just not asking them the right questions, c.f.,
Quantum Computing with Molecules, a Scientific American Feature Article (June 1998). This
reminds us of our idea that when the precision with which one engineers a systems boundary
conditions become exacting enough, the underlying system dynamics takes over and completes the
intent of the design while departing from the formal fallacies of the designs abstract structure.
^^Natures second guess at our creative intent is frequently superior to our first guess.

In a world without determinism nature may be permitted to react to our proddings by anticipating
our intentions. Also, our proddings come to nature genuinely from outside her this despite
nature not being a thing and not possessing definitive boundaries. The question arises as to
how one thing may be outside of another even when both things are without definite boundaries
demarcating an internal from an external.

Reality is made up of circles but we see straight lines. Herein lies the beginnings of our
limitation as systems thinkers. - Peter Senge This is an alternative statement of Fourier
analysis/ synthesis, which is itself a particular choice of basis in terms of which to expansion of
some function. It might be profitable to list the implications of determinism, e.g.,
reductionism, reproducibility, reversibility, continuity, symmetry and/or conservation principles,
etc.

How can we have the symmetry of identity where the human consciousness is concerned when this
identity is to possess no a priori boundaries? This is a problem only if the definition of
conservation is limited in scope to mean conservation of a substance contained within something
else. If an individual human consciousness is ultimately transcendent, then such a
consciousness may not properly be understood to be in or within any thing, system, space, etc.
And what gives space its temporal aspect is the collective action of myriad projections into space
from other than this space (rather than merely from outside this space).

Is the process of biological evolution somewhat robbed of its meaning and import if this process is
supported by more fundamental physical processes that are at all times and places reproducible?
Shouldnt evolution necessarily involve the manifesting of altogether new lawlike behavior, that
is, the engendering not only of novel (e.g., biological) systems but of altogether new laws
governing, therefore altogether novel entities?

Quantum probabilities may interaction through the underlying interaction of their respective
probability amplitudes in such a manner that the total probability density is allowed to pass a
certain threshold at which spontaneous collapse of the overall systems wavefunction takes place.
Wavefunction collapse is a discontinuous switching of the systems quantum state to come other
quantum state. This is not the same phenomenon as is spontaneous quantum decoherence, which
occurs in the absence of an observer, but must occur in the presence of the intersubjective
environment. But what is the medium of the interaction of probability amplitudes? Is this
medium made up of classically definable objects, that is, of expectation values of quantum
observables?

Around 1995, string theorists led by Ed Witten at Princeton discovered that all their seemingly
different theories are in fact different aspects of the same theory. To date, nobody has managed
to write down the underlying theory. Although it has been given a name: M-Theory, c.f., New
Frontiers in Modern Physics Jeff Forshaw University of Manchester.

Classes are distilled from sensory and perceptual experience, e.g., NCO-ness through a piecing
together of a topological structure.

Data structures span the contents within individual quantum vacua. Information structures span
the contents across individual vacua.

Full resonance is equivalent to null coherence (this presupposes a symmetry and conservation
principle connecting resonant and coherent vacuum phenomena). (But what can we say in this
connection about the possible inertial effects of quantum nonlocality in purely resonant vacuum
states?)

With the advent of vacuum coherence, the systems begin to connect and exchange quantities of
interaction (the nature of which is to be explored later) with other vacua and topology is a definite
consideration in this regard. The movement of an object through a single, purely resonant
vacuum state must be an example of movement in a completely quantum nonlocal sense.
What is called nonlocal time is a quantity instrumental in the process by which normal local
time is integrated.

What relevance does the categorical distinction, integrated versus contextualized have for our
already established distinction, that of data vs. information. And how do the distinctions of
quantum vs. classical, local vs. nonlocal line up in relation to the above categorical distinctions?






The propagation of a positional uncertainty is exactly analogous to the propagation of a temporal
interval of subjective time in a persons stream of consciousness. The propagation in time of a
partially temporally integrated and temporally integrating consciousness (i.e., the consciousness is
both propagating through time all the while temporality is transpiring within it) means that
correlations sustain the temporally integrated though changing moment and provide the ground for
the ongoing formation of new correlations within and between this moment and its ground. In
other words, a positional uncertainty can only propagate through space (or spacetime) by utilizing
in an integrated fashion the quantum correlations existing along the smeared out trajectory. It is
for this reason that quantum correlations propagation speed is not necessarily limited to the speed
of light. The conservation of momentum-energy would dictate a speed limit of c if this
conservation law were to extend to momentum-energy uncertainties. However, it is well known
that energy is not really conserved in quantum mechanics. The nonconservation of energy is
particularly required where the temporal integration of flowing consciousness is concerned.
And this is why the passage of subjective time must be a fundamentally asymmetrical and
aperiodic process.

During quantum teleportation, the fluctuations contained within the Heisenberg uncertainties of
the quantum states being teleported and their mutual quantum correlations are teleported along
with the particular quantum state itself.
July 2011
Teleportation is not to be confused with merely
exploiting the preexisting quantum entanglement of say, two spatially distant spin particles.

Two persons, possessing equal vocabularies though where one uses a vast array of synonymous
words to intend more or less the same thing, while the other treats synonymous words as a
spectrum of subtley distinctly intended references, will only to the most casual and uneducated
observers be mistaken for possessing similar intellect.

Goedels Theorem, quantum computing, Halting Problem, Goedels Incompleteness Theorem

Theorem is perhaps just a specific case of some broader statement not limited to mathematical
theorems and systems, for example that the import of any concept of idea cannot be fully
comprehended or understood to include the concepts relative truth or falsity if the notion of the
concept in any way refers to the underlying mechanism of the concepts production.

The reason for a machines action is different from the reasons for a human beings action after the
fashion of the distinction of how vs. why.



The global supersymmetry is maintained via nonlocal quantum entanglement, i.e., instantaneous
exchange of virtual, coherent (i.e., non-decohered) quantum information. There is of course
an important question here as to whether the appearance of gravitation is what began to disrupt the
100% quantum entangled state at which the Universe began at the Big Bang. The passage of the
Universe from a highly (near infinitely) ordered or negentropic global state to its relatively
entropic global state, i.e., partially decohered Universe-wavefunction, may have initially been due
to the action of gravitation, the action of which was in effect to decrease the cosmos global
quantum entanglement. However, with the advent of living matter of a certain level of quantum
complexity, quantum entanglement began to sprout up locally throughout.

The end result of learning by a conscious, e.g., neural network is to swap states of local quantum
entanglement for globally quantum-entangled states. This may suggest a new kind of symmetry
in which the quantity of quantum entangled information is conserved. However, our
metaphysical bias prompts us to postulate some higher order of information what is not conserved
and which gives the phenomenon of learning its substance. Gravitation in its still mysterious
fashion and consciousness (via the equally or more mysterious action of free will) both has the
effect of surprising the vacuum. This surprise of the quantum vacuum, what we might term
quantum surprise is characterized by the sudden engendering of new entanglements with the
destruction of others via the usual mechanism of quantum decoherence. But can the
reprocessing of quantum entanglements always be adequately described in terms of this seemingly
symmetrical operation of creation/annihilation of quantum entanglements of wavefunctions
already present?



We thought that information was classical. We thought that we could hold up three fingers,
then four. We didnt realize that there could be a superposition of both, c.f., quantum arithmetic
and Goedels theorem. Indeed, in sending a single photon, the basic quantum teleporter
transmits a single qubit of quantum information, c.f., data vs. information.

Entangled particles, quantum teleporters and gates that operate on a single qubit at a time. . .

Science does not describe how nature is but rather articulates what we can say about nature.
To extract all the information needed to describe an object, one must penetrate the Heisenberg
uncertainties in quantum observables. This entails more than merely finding out what we can
say about the quantum state, i.e., more than what the wavefunction says about the state.

Quantum computations with greater than 10**80 elements do not take place within the quantum
multiverse, but within the nonlocally connected quantum vacuum.

All but a tiny cosmological component of the vacuum energy is local the rest is nonlocal
possible solution to the vacuum energy density paradox?

Only local quantum (vacuum) information is manifested within spacetime, rather than supporting
spacetime, c.f., Scientific American, Special Edition, Volume 13, No. 1, p. 43, Quantum
Teleportation.

There is a limit to bosonic entanglement specified by the Planck length. Note that this is a kind
of density limit that is not directly dependent upon mass and volume. The Planck mass
represents the largest resonant mass (as opposed to coherent mass) possible, i.e., supportable by
the matrix of fluctuating momentum-energy represented by the quantum vacuum. If the velocity
of light places a limit upon the speed of propagation of gravity, then how can inertial and
gravitational masses be equal, i.e., how can the equivalence principle be true? Resonant mass is
defined through quantum correlation of fluctuations of the vacuums energy, while coherent mass
is defined through causal connection of fluctuations of this vacuums energy. Presumably causal
connection is limited to propagating at only the speed of light, whereas quantum correlation is a
quantum nonlocal phenomenon and so may be considered to propagate instantaneously. Or is
the duality operating here really that of virtual bosonic vs. virtual fermionic quantum
entanglement?

In the Star Trek Next Generation episode, Future Imperfect, Riker awakens after falling
unconscious during an away mission only to find that 16 years of his life seem to have passed in
the blink of an eye. Dr. Krusher explains to him that he had contracted a form of encephalitis
that eventually wipes out all memories formed after the onset of infection.

Ones state of consciousness within a given situation (connected in ones uniquely characteristic
manner to the open system of reality) must never be identical to some state of consciousness
enjoyed (or that could be enjoyed) by some other person within some other situation (in which the
person is uniquely and characteristically connected to the open system of reality). Are there
two different open systems of reality corresponding to two distinct minds?


There is an important connection to be drawn between the taking of cosmologically expanding
spacetime seriously and a finite, nonzero spectrum of Heisenberg time uncertainty for the
quantum vacuum of the expanding spacetime. The very same momentum of timeline must be
contained within a telescoping system of temporal contexts that are not necessarily mutually
reinforcing. So how are we to interpret a partial cycle change in quantum mechanical amplitude,
that is, one where insufficient temporal context has yet been provided for saying how the
amplitude actually evolves over the course of a given moment? It is temporal evolution, but of a
very specific and extraordinary kind it cannot be properly submitted to a Fourier spectrum
analysis, which in turn puts our interpretation of the Heisenberg energy uncertainty in doubt,
which is to note that an adequate definition of Heisenberg temporal uncertainty is dependent upon
a similarly adequate definition of Heisenberg energy uncertainty.


The self-organizing properties of atoms and molecules are likely grounded in the fact of the
entropy potential of systems of these entities being many orders of magnitude larger than the
measurable entropies of these systems. This is another way of describing the fact of these
systems of atoms and molecules being deeply grounded in the dynamics of the quantum vacuum,
itself possessing a nearly infinite energy density (and negentropy).

Evolution calling forth that which has an alien agenda Evil is just that which has an alien agenda
and consists largely of the tempting of temptation of two parts: corrupting influence from within
and from without. So on this view, evil is merely relative.

The chromatic dispersion of photons emitted by gamma-ray bursters in which lower frequency
photons are detected later than higher frequency photons emitted by the GRB simultaneously may
be explained by the differing photon densities which are functions of frequency. These
observations were made with the BATSE (the Burst and Transient Source Experiment). A
theory for the observed dispersion of GRB photons has been advanced by Fotini Markopoulou
Kalamara.

The concept of the entropy of a script and the arbitrariness of the G, A, C, T base-pair sequences of
the genetic code. The possibility of self-replicating, information-bearing,
information-expressing molecules is not something which evolves but is implicit in the
self-organizing capacities of Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen and Oxygen. The notion of the
vacuum must be expanded from being merely a depth-wise extension of the forms inhering within
this vacuums surface, c.f., distinction in quantum mechanics between real vs. virtual particles.

One senses ones inner freedom of will while others see the inner necessities driving ones
behavior and determining its recognizably characteristic stamp. The genuineness of ones free
will appears to be proven by the impossibility of a complete description of the operation of this
will.

Although nonlocal quantum phenomena may manifest locally, that is, within specific spacetime
regions, the source of these manifestations lies altogether outside of spacetime.

Apparently a high proportion of the nearly infinite number of genetic base pair sequences that are
theoretically possible via sexual recombination of DNA of viable individuals themselves result
in viable offspring, which is to say viable DNA as well. To assume otherwise is to invoke an at
once radical as well as clandestine system of sexual selection of which the human species (with
possible exception of a small minority of eccentric romantic poets) has been throughout its history
largely unaware.


The question arises as to whether the negentropies associated with two implied informational
infrastructures are equivalent. The two infrastructures are implied by the two distinctly
alternative interpretations of the origins of order in genetic base pair sequences, which are likely
analogous to the two basic alternative systems of arithmetic, i.e., classical versus quantum. In
the first classical interpretation the kernel ratio is that of number of viable base pair sequences to
that of the total number of such possible. In the second, quantum interpretation this ratio is
defined in terms of the inverse of the total number of possible genetic systems, i.e.,
self-replicating, information-bearing and information-expressing molecules. Of course, in the
so-called quantum realm one can expand this ratio in ever-higher orders, so long as one does not
exhaust the deeper levels of permutational/ combinational structure. For example, the next
step downward (the next higher order) might be that of the ratio of genetic molecules to
nonspecific molecules, the next after this, genetic quark-lepton structures to nonspecific such
structures, etc., ad nauseum. The quantum factual vs. counterfactual distinction perhaps
becomes an important consideration in this connection.

Viable in this sense therefore corresponds to an objective or absolute category, which seems to
suggest that what constitutes genetically viable is based in the innate self-organizing properties of
the atoms and molecules composing nucleotide (base pair) sequences, whereas what constitutes
viable with respect to success of an organism within its environment is not an absolute category.
One might ask here why viable in one sense, organismic, which is environment-relative is
necessarily bound up with viable in the sense of what would be viable, if realized, which is
owing to the inner self-consistency and cohesiveness of the would-be genetic expression as well as
the chemical stability of the DNA molecule so expressed.



If chance has indeed played as great a role in biological evolution as molecular biologists suggest,
particularly at the very earliest stages, then it is highly likely that terrestrial biological evolution
has meant the climbing of a relatively shallow depression within the rugged fitness landscape of
coherent nucleotide sequencing.


The probable relative shallowness of the depression within the rugged fitness landscape (RFL) that
terrestrial life is evolving within is a fact that may be interpreted in two distinct ways. This
shallowness implies that a great deal of the order manifested by biological systems is a la
Kauffmans order for free.
February 2012
Is there a Kauffmanian rugged fitness landscape
underlying the structure of the anthropic cosmological multiverse? Combining Boltzmann Brain
logic with Kauffmans order for free in application to an anthropic cosmological principle, i.e., to
one in which the number of anthropic-coherentmultiverses vastly outstrips the number of
distinct possible individual consciousnesses - because along the lines of the method for the
calculation of classical entropy, there are so many more ways to generally specify or produce, even
an intersubjective environment/ society of selves than there is to specify the identity of any given
uniquely specified conscious self, that is, the odds against ones own existence are in a very real
sense vastly larger than the odds against one appearance or another of a social environment of
seemingly like-minded human neighbors, so that some critical component to the definition of
individual consciousness is lacking in all but my self.

February 2013
In order to maintain the appearances (i.e., of a normal workaday world), a
Boltzmann brain only needs to integrate about two seconds of specious time (time within a
specious present). The demands on intentionality required to sustain the illusory meaning
granting context for such a bubble of unified conscious experience would no doubt be considerable
in terms of the instantaneously available Von Neumann negentropy. We might be tempted to apply
the fundamentally anti-solipsistic insight behind Wittgensteins so-called private language
argument to in turn argue for the impossibility of an artificial or confabulated social context for the
faux human experience of a Boltzmann brain. Part of this insight, ensconced within an AI context
is that, no simultaneous set of inputs to a state machine not possessing memory circuits can
replicate the evolution of the state space in a circuit indeed possessing memory. Does the black
whole information paradox in which entropy is confined to a 2d surface or hologram coding for a
3d space also worthy of consideration here?

The only thing in itself that one can have
knowledge of (in Russells sense of privileged access) is ones consciousness of this moment.
Access to all other mental states perhaps ought to be described as unprivileged, including ones
own mental states from moments, i.e, bubbles of the specious present other than this one. The
question arises, of course, how are mental states or sense data of mine at other times to be
distinguished from the mental states of other minds at any and all times? How could we prevent
collapse of the distinction assumed between metaphysical and epistemological solipsism and
moreover between epistemological and methodological solipsism?

Just as matter even in the densest distributions constitute but a relative wisp compared to the near
infinite density of the quantum vacuum, the information content of biological systems may also be
relatively insignificant relative to the information density of the quantum vacuum.

Another is that extraterrestrial life may well have climbed to a relative position considerably lower
than that which terrestrial life has reached (apparently with the evolution of intelligent, particularly
human life) despite a relatively much longer history of evolution, say, of 10 billion as opposed to 1
billion years. Note we are speaking here of a relative difference of only one order of magnitude.
So although some evolutionary processes are initially graced with an order of magnitude greater or
lesser degree of order, all evolutionary processes begin with an extremely high initial order.
So the phase transition represented by the explosion of the kernel of near infinitely dense
mass-energy called the Big Bang and the resultant discontinuous transition in order represented by
this phase shift imbued matter with a richness of structure and self-organizing capability (well,
really, capability to interface with the quantum vacuum so as to access its order). So
self-organization of matter may strictly speaking turn out to be somewhat of a misnomer.

But it is likely that all of this order for free is tied to the substrate within the quantum vacuum
which provides the continuity between our universe and whatever came before the Big Bang.

Quite the opposite of the process by which intelligently contrived designs evolve. . .

Sexual selection causes a clustering of phenotypic features. Population genetics is affected by
changing cultural definitions of what is considered alluring and sexually attractive. Sexual
attractiveness is both a function of the physiology of perception and the physiology underlying
exterior physical form of the organism. Convergence or nonconvergence of physiology of the
perception of outward form of the organism with the physiology underlying this very same
outward form of the organism is not something subject to the shaping influence of evolution, but
constitutes the initial and boundary conditions of the dynamic of sexual selection. Kauffmans
order for free is embodied in these initial and boundary conditions upon the process of evolution.

The mutually complementary viabilities of genotype and phenotype must have evolved in tandem.
The direction of evolution of genetic expressions was by no means parallel to that of the
mechanism or system of genetic expression itself. This is only possible because the viability of
long base pair sequences is reducible or at least largely reducible to the viability of short base pair
sequences. This ostensible fact of the reducibility of viability of human genetic base pair
sequences cannot be adequately accounted for in terms of the viability and reproductive success of
simpler organisms figuring within the human genealogy. An indefinitely long history of
evolution based upon an altogether distinct kind of selection must have occurred and perhaps still
be occurring along an orthogonal direction of time in order to explain the built in adequacy of
untried genetic base pair sequences.


The mechanism by which a mind out-Godelizes itself is no doubt intimately related to the
mechanism of wavefunction collapse within the Wigner interpretation of the quantum
measurement problem (QMP). There is an analogy here with two contrasting types of
personality, those of the self-conscious and the unassuming person. The unassuming persons
personality possesses a consistency that is only truly glimpsed by others and never by the person
himself. The price of consistency of the persons personality is the persons blindness to his
personalitys very karmic consistency, i.e., that core consistency that makes the person
universally recognizable to the great variety of personalities personally acquainted with him.
On the other hand, we have the possibly neurotic and self-conscious individual who, by being able
to glimpse this core consistency to his personality (or at least the consistency to his personality as
presented socially), indulges in self-parody on the one hand or camouflages himself by
manifesting personality traits which quite contrast those by which he is commonly recognized.
So maybe the social psychological metaphors for the notions of Godelian consistency and
incompleteness permit us to gain greater insight into how the mechanisms of out-Godelization
and quantum mechanical wavefunction collapse are related within Wigners interpretation of
QMP (WIQMP, or WIMP for short).


Existence and nonexistence are both states of being. The substance of the Tiger and its
cage is in each case, psychic energy, represented in two different ways. Negation of a
temporally extended system, entity, etc. If negation of an entity is not defined, then this entity is
not merely existent, but also possesses being, c.f., my newsgroup post, 1999/12/31,
Existence/Non-existence theory. Possession of being means being grounded, i.e., embedded
within an open system, which is to say a system providing its own context wherein unity obtains
within infinite variety.

If mathematical entities have being as subsistent entities, then their negations may not be fully
defined. Existent vs. nonexistent are dual opposing categories in the case of existents not further
grounded in Being.

A distinction is require between nonlocal and local Heisenberg uncertain energy, the experience of
the rate of times passage is dependent upon interaction of the individuals nonlocal energy
uncertainty with the locally uncertain energy.

Rigidity is sustained by resonant phenomena while elasticity, by coherence phenomena.

If we are each more or less unsuccessful attempts to make a Jesus, then Jesus life is the most
powerful demonstration of what each of us potentially could have been had Sin not intervened.
This why Jesus is referred to in the Bible as the second Adam. Religion as in the Latin root
of this word, re-ligio, i.e., linking back points to the fact of Mans lost divinity as religion is
the name for Mans own (essentially misguided) attempts to reconnect to this lost divinity.
Jesus powerfully demonstrated what is possible through the Holy Spirit, which provides the means
for this linking back to the Father (that is, the Divine Self).


Feuerabends philosophy of science holds intriguing metaphysical implications for ontology as
well as for philosophy of mind because it raises the question of what is the proper place for mind
within an open system of being that is not hierarchically structured? Feuerabends philosophy
deconstructs such heretofore-unquestioned notions as progress (of both science and culture) and
biological evolution, particularly in regard to the seemingly more specific evolution of mind in the
Universe. This question about the nature of mind within Feuerabends implied metaphysics is
sharpened if we at once insist on the reality of minds unity so that the unity enjoyed by the
individual consciousness is owing to the level of participation of this consciousness in the unity of
mind as such, as opposed to that of any particular mind. Does mind as such evolve, or do only
individual minds do so by virtue of their experience of a growing participation in mind? It
would seem that such a notion is self-contradictory or at the very least paradoxical. No increase
in the level of complexity (or in any other directed parameter) in the conditions of being would
seem to net us an unconditioned being.

Without the notion of an intelligent transcendent ground of being, we are left with our sole
alternative, that of a ground of being, which is indifferent to the passage of time and therefore inert
with respect to an infinity of possibilities. With respect to the possibilities that such a ground does
not remain inert and insensitive, we are faced with the case of an obvious artifice in the totally
absence of a designer. How consciousness should emerge from this kind of ground of being as
an utter novelty is a far greater mystery than the simple presupposition that consciousness as such
is itself that selfsame eternally preexistent ground of being.


The quantum principle of the identity of indiscernibles is weakened for composite objects, which
is related to the action of the principle of the 2
nd
Law of Thermodynamics. The discernibility of
composite objects grows sharper as each object develops its own unique history (as opposed to
mere trajectory) and the failure of this quantum principle in view of consideration of the 2
nd
Law
is bound up in the vacuum energy/cosmological constant paradox (non-gravitating vacuum
energy). It is moreover bound up with the important distinction of data and information. The
acceleration of an object changes the state of the object in a way that must be reconciled not only
with boundary but with the initial conditions of the object as well. Thus gravitational fields must
be capable of possessing nonlocal components.
May 2011
The indistinguishability of composite
objects absolutely breaks down for the case of composite fermions once the objects become so
massive that object and anti-object could not have been produced by a single quantum fluctuation
of the vacuum.

Information may be given a quantum mechanical interpretation in terms of a pattern of destructive
interference of Heisenberg uncertainty fluctuation spectra. But this opens the way for a natural
interpretation of entropy in terms of the constructive interference of H-uncertainty spectra. In
this way all in information is understood not as referring to fact, but as the product of the
interaction of counterfactuals. What distinguishes imagination from the so-called real is the
underlying distinction of commensurate versus incommensurate interfering counterfactuals. A
single eigenstate, whether selected from the fold of mutually commensurate or mutually
incommensurate counterfactuals, may not be properly classified as either real or imaginary. A
paradox here is the fact that the idea of individual counterfactuals and their inherent recursive
nature, c.f., classic science fiction time paradox, e.g., Heinlein.

Memories are never recalled; memories are reconstructed, c.f., CI TAC HUMINT interview
techniques training.

Of course, LaPlacian determinism is defeated by the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, by which
the positions and momenta of particles are forced to remain somewhat blurred and indistinct.
But the H-uncertainties in position and momenta are uncertainties in kinematical parameters.
The dynamical origin for the above kinematical uncertainties are the H-uncertainties in potential
and kinetic energy, or to be more relativistically correct, the dynamical origin of kinematical
uncertainty lies with the unavoidable uncertainty of momentum-energy in the form of spontaneous
fluctuations in the vacuums momentum-energy. This is why we say that the dynamical origin
of the appearance of temporality is spontaneously fluctuating vacuum energy.

The
dimensionality of what we take to be the external world is in fact the dimensionality appropriate to
describing the interface between the internal and external worlds. Interface may be generally
understood to be a kind of surface dividing and allowing exchange between two domains of n + 1
dimension, where n is the dimension of the interface. Thus, the true dimensionality of the bona
fide external world is at least one greater than its apparent dimensionality. We enjoy a
superficial experience of this extra spatial dimension as time, the dynamical origin of which is this
exchange that is continually occurring between these two higher dimensional domains, i.e., the
external and internal domains. But the intriguing bonus from all of this is that the
dimensionality of the mind must also be at least one greater than that of the apparent external
world of 3 + 1 spacetime.
May 2011
For mind is not in 3 + 1 spacetime, but 3 + 1 spacetime is on the
opposite side of the interface from mind so by what has been said mind may well be understood as
at least 3 + 2 dimensional, i.e., three dimensions of space and one of time.


In the Star Trek Next Generation episode, The Measure of a Man, Data is put on trial to determine
if he is a person with the full rights of a human being or only a machine to be dispensed with as
Starfleet sees fit. Picard lectures his old nemesis, Starfleet JAG officer, Phillipa informing her
that, no one needs to remind us, he and commander Riker, of the performance of their duty.
@$
This brought to my mind the general problem of all so-called lofty abstractions, i.e., duty,
honor, loyalty, love, beauty, truth, etc., that general problem being whether such abstractions are or
may be founded upon actual concepts or must only masquerade as such, being in reality only
metaphors that all of us have conventionally agreed to treat as bona fide concepts.
May 2011
The
metaphorical nature of language and therefore of thought is palpable evidence for the fundamental
inadequacy of the hard AI approach to the philosophy of mind.

And the importance of conventions is only that of bringing about the higher organization of human
social, cultural and technological endeavor, rather than that of enhancing human beings ability to
divine underlying truths. The notion of duty is founded upon the notion of hierarchy and faith in
this hierarchy, essentially upon the concept of a person or persons who have knowledge of the
reality that lies behind shifting and uncertain appearances and in whom we have an abiding faith.
In fact, all higher level abstractions functioning as the kernels of ultimate human meaning and
significance are founded upon an implicit faith in a hierarchically structured, existential-Platonic
chain of being, and so also founded upon a notion of Deity. A notion of history that robustly
resists revisionism and active quantum mechanical uncertainty seems also required by the above
notion of a Platonic order of being. Question: does the notion of duty retain its meaning across
discontinuities in the most general of human social and political organization? Or must the
concept of duty always be supplemented with revisionistic historical interpretation? Persons
carrying out their lives entirely within sociopolitical institutions that are later realized to be merely
transitional forms of social organization must garner strength from the myth of their being
participants in a drama of lasting significance.

The classic example of historical revisionism is the interpretation made popular over the last 40
years of Jesus having been at turns, Marxist, Anarchist and Hippie.

In Heinleins science fiction novel, The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, published in 1966, the author
states early in the story through the storys computer technician protagonist that, Psychologists
assert it happens automatically whenever a brain acquires certain very high number of
associational paths. Can't see it matters whether paths are protein or platinum." Is there perhaps
a plausible basis for this belief about the relation of consciousness to complexity, say based on our
earlier alluded to this notion of surprising the vacuum. Consciousness may indeed bridge the
gap between the locality of deterministic causality, which underlies the transmission of data at
velocities no greater than that of light and the non-locality of Heisenberg quantum uncertainty,
which underlies the instantaneous propagation of information manifesting itself as (and perhaps
only as, on account of chronology protection considerations) temporally integrated states of
awareness. An infinite velocity may be associated with information contained within these
temporally integrated states because a continuum of times are fused into a single instant of time,
provided that these two times, integral subjective and instantaneous objective are mutually
orthogonal (i.e., chronology protection)

The action of the conscious human will (free will) typically induces so-called collapse of the wave
function due to the incommensurability of the two distinct quantum vacua suddenly brought into
mutual contact. The collapse is necessitated specifically by the quantum vacuum embedding the
physical observable system suddenly being connected with a to-the-system-unanticipated vacuum
state.

On the above view complexity of the brain pushed far enough leads to the possibility of the
emergence of conscious states through the failure of the embedding (intersubjective/objective)
vacuum to keep up with the distributed instantaneous states of this brain. In order to keep up
and track the temporal evolution of the brains vacuum state, the intersubjective vacuum must
suppress some of the precise details of the brains too rapidly evolving quantum state.
@$
This
abstraction from the brains rapidly temporally evolving state of certain integrated sets of
features is what lies behind the production of temporally integrated states of awareness. It is
this abstraction from the brains (or rather the quantum vacuum embedding the brains) quantum
state which breaks the link of causal necessity between the brains and its vacuums quantum
state. In other words, once the intersubjective, i.e., objective vacuum state can no longer track
(to within quantum uncertainty) the temporal evolution of the brain, then at this point the
complexity of the brain has outstripped the public vacuum state of spacetime. It is here that an
altogether new vacuum state is nucleated and in which the persons brain now becomes
embedded as the physical realization of that persons state of consciousness. Interpretation here
is a function of choice and not causality. As alluded to elsewhere the process of abstraction from
the objective time stream of the brains quantum mechanical temporal evolution occupies a
timelike dimension orthogonal to that of so-called physical time.

**********KFOR Deployment 030703 (previous writings below)************

Make a distinction between nonlocal and local 4-momentum uncertainty. The experience of the
rate of times passage is dependent upon interaction of the individuals nonlocal energy
uncertainty with the locally uncertain energy.

The temporal integration (integration across objective time), which appears to be an essential
feature of conscious states may invoke the fusion of a spectrum of discrete simultaneities, which
gives quantum, sub-neural events a temporal dimension of depth largely independent of the
deterministic evolution of the brains quantum state with respect to single, arbitrary inertial
frames. Is there necessarily a gravitational potential associated with such an integrated
continuum of inertial frames dictated by the temporal integrative structure of conscious mental
states? This makes the integral temporal structure of consciousness resemble a wave packet of
non-locally connected but incommensurate eigen-like wave-functions (incommensurate
eigenfunctions), one which must be an anharmonic function of no particular time parameter,
@$
but
a function of a time interval, c.f., convolution theorem of signal processing theory.

An analogy with black holes suggests itself at this point in our discussion: sufficient information
complexity or density of information contained within a physical system (of admittedly a very
special kind) causes resonant quantum tunneling of the system into an incompatible (and
incommensurate) vacuum state, one which is intimately associated with the thusly emergent state
of consciousness.
@$
Here the density of information of, for example, a human brain has
exceeded the capacity for an instantaneous vacuum state to support the temporal evolution of the
physical system constituting this brain. Or perhaps this is another way of saying that the
intersubjective quantum vacuum cannot fully support the temporal evolution of a conscious
human brain. There is here the fundamentally similar inability of the quantum vacuum to
respond in real time to information inputs: in the case of the external observer collapsing the wave
function of the quantum system he is observing, it is the very suddenness of the input; in the case of
the normally functioning human brain, the overwhelming complexity (spacetime density) of
coordinated inputs to this vacuum, which triggers the collapse.
July 2011
This reminds me of my
experiences of having taken standardized and timed, multiple choice examinations where I
suddenly realized that I was running short on time so that, under the weight of new found
necessity, I commenced to mark test question answers virtually randomly. Imagine the bizarre
situation wherein the panicked guesess of time-pressured young scholars held some material
relevance to the actual state of affairs informing the development of the test answer key and you
are perhaps glimpsing the situation in which the action of the quantum vacuum is involved. We
must remember that, according to the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics, the
wavefunction represents the most that can be known about the physical state of a quantum
mechanical system. So the guesses of the quantum vacuum are not approximations; they are
determinations. But they are determinations in the absence of any thorough-going determinism
such as was conceived by LaPlace.

This fundamental similarity of underlying mechanisms in the above two descriptions of triggered
wave function collapse is that of sudden connection of alien vacuum states to that in which the
collapse is triggered. In the usual case of quantum observation the sudden connection of
heretofore never before connected vacua is spacelike, whereas in the latter case this sudden
connection is timelike.
May 2011
The physical interference with the system under experimental
observation does not induce the collapse. Rather the sudden coupling of the two incommensurate
vacuum states, one the systems, the other that of the observers brain, which is the cause of
wavefunction collapse.

This is all to indulge in what might be aptly termed science fiction metaphysics and one which may
well constitute an altogether new genre of poetic expression.

To restate the latter part of the above passage from Heinlein, the protagonist asserts his belief that
he Can't see it matters whether paths are protein or platinum." This is a disguised statement
that it is purely formal complexity that is always responsible for the crossing of the threshold of
consciousness by a computing machine that has become sufficiently complex. But as discussed
throughout this document purely formal sets of relationships, that is to say, logic alone is
inadequate to capture the complexity of metaphorical thinking. The leaping from one logically
consistent system to another, itself an inherently alogical procedure, which, by the way is the only
means of properly compensating for the limitations of self-consistent systems of formal logic as
detailed in Goedels Incompleteness Theorem is an ideal example of what is essentially
metaphorical thinking, to wit, the processing of inputted sets of sensory stimuli by a facile
changing of contexts. Metaphorical thinking may be characterized as essentially the facility for
rationally dealing with or handling incommensurability. This statement however seems almost a
contradiction in terms, but one which is escaped via a judicious equivocation of sense. In this
way the distinctions between semantics, semiotics and syntax is realized to be indistinct. Akin to
the versatility of the DNA through the arbitrariness of its peculiar system of protein-coding, the
versatility of the brain-based human faculty of thought lies with the lack of causal fixity of the
connection of brain and associated conscious states. The determination of conscious states by
brain states is evolutionary and historical though fundamentally acausal.

Investigate the relevance of the mutual degeneracy of data and information for the above
discussion of quantum brain/consciousness.

Here is an irreversibility associated with information within the phenomenon of evolution that
parallels this concept within the context of thermodynamic theory associated with the concept of
entropy.

A black hole is conventionally thought of as having left its gravitational field behind even though
its mass has left our spacetime continuum altogether.

Neutron stars have been observed with rotational speeds of up to 600 Hz. Should such a
spinning body drift into a region of relatively greater gravitational potential, several simple (in the
weak field limit at least) relativistic effects are to be expected: relativistic increase in the stars
mass, contraction of the stars frequency of rotation, and contraction in the direction perpendicular
to the stars radius of gyration. The contractions of the rotating stars radius of gyration and
angular frequency cancel one anothers effects upon the stars relativistic angular momentum.
However, there is still the relativistic increase in the mass of the star that remains to be taken into
account. So a rotating star drifting into a gravitational potential experiences a relativistic
increase in its 3-angular momentum. Well if the 4-angular momentum of the star is to be
conserved, then the star must have had a rest 4-angular momentum, prior to its having drifted
into the gravitational potential. This rest 4-angular momentum, similar to the case of linear
momentum, defines the extreme limit a bodys 3-angular momentum, that is to say, the stars
3-angular momentum cannot grow any larger than that allowed by a 90 degree rotation of the stars
rest 4-angular momentum from a purely timelike to a purely spacelike angular momentum.

Are all apparent forces phenomena reducible to a combination of spatiotemporal variation of
spacetime boundary conditions applied to purely timelike linear and angular momenta? Imagine
here a cosmic ray particle zipping through a spatiotemporal varying electromagnetic field. In a
very real sense no forces whatever are acting on this cosmic ray particle. The illusory nature
of forces and torques as mere 3-dimensional phenomena is pointed up by the fact that within
4-dimensional spacetime, both 4-momentum and 4-angular momentum is effectively conserved
within an approximately closed system of matter and energy, while force and torque are defined as
time variations in linear and angular momentum, respectively.

The intersubjective realm is not sustained against an underlying objective realm. If subjective
and intersubjective are mutually disjoint categories, then the so-called objective cuts across this
dual distinction.

No straight sequence (one not involving feedback loops) of inputs of stimuli to a brain-in-a-vat can
bring a coherent self/consciousness into existence, nor a coherent perception of an external world
(the two are of necessity conjoined, though the self is in part, but considerably more than a social
construct). The feedback loops in the stimulus-response series constitute a fundamentally
distinct topology from that of a mere straight sequence.

The efficacy of random chance requires an underlying coherent context.

The ultimate rationality of nature or reality would have to appear irrational and unfathomable to
the human mind, itself a mere part of this continuum (this so as to avoid an infinite regression
paradox). On the other hand, if the mind were not itself an artifact or product of nature, that is,
then perhaps the ultimate rationality of the world could be grasped (not however if nature were an
artifact of the human mind.) All intersubjective investigation pushed far enough becomes
subjective and personal. Mass is a manifestation of off-equilibrium relative distributions of
coherent (binding) and resonant (perturbing) energy, c.f.,
web=
www.spacedaily.com/news/materials-01b.html , A Mass of Inertia. C.f., Einstein versus
Bohr, by Mendel Sachs (Open Court, 1991). Since GRs spacetime is described by a positively
curved and unbounded spacetime manifold, therefore the metric of this type of spacetime manifold
must be completely defined on the manifold itself. Look at how all of Kants Antimonies from
the Critique are systematically transcended by a small handful of basic concepts of so-called
modern physics.

A recursion may be thought of as a periodic function of a fractal variable (space). Stress and
strain forces within the vacuum are associated with the bending of spacetime.
Four-dimensional spacetime represents the causal, deterministic component of spacetimes overall
structure. Deviations from causal determinism must be modeled in terms of spontaneous
fluctuations in the metric of Minkowski spacetime. Psi-collapse may be figuratively described
as a pulling of the rug out from under the wave function, that is, sudden changes to the spacetime
independent variables of the wave function.

In the same way that Freud characterized culture as the product of collective sublimation of the
repressed sexual impulse, there is another view akin to this concerning the human interpersonal
interaction - it is all sublimation of attack and defense, expansion and retreat, belligerence and
appeasement, etc. The probabilities associated with spin eigenfunctions conform to a principle
of equipartation. The observed spin eigenvalues are determined from a spacelike magnetic field
and timelike spin as its primary inputs.

Is a fourth spatial dimension in relativity theory simply a helpful metaphor, but one which poses a
stumbling block to greater understanding if taken too literally (this is the general problem of the
metaphor, a specific example of which is Campbells observation that the masks of God both
revealed and concealed the Gods divinity). In this way we come to understand Kuhnian
scientific paradigms as merely initially helpful (and later hindering metaphors representing
essentially unknowable scientific truths.) The brain acts as a whole to stimulate the vacuum state
in which it is embedded, not with blind energy pulse spectra but with information signals,
individual vacuum state is contained within the embedding vacuum and not within the brain itself.
Each self, through its brain being the only such embedded in its vacuum, carries the peculiar
implication that solipsism is true for each of the unlimited number of persons who exist.

There is a form of solipsism in which the distance of intelligent beings from the central self is
reflected in the relative spatiotemporal distances of other embodied persons. The subconscious
is constituted by all those processes attributable to the dynamics of mental processes of other
persons with whom the solipsist has interacted in the past. The unconscious of the solipsist on
the other hand is composed of all those dynamics on the part of other persons with whom the
solipsist has not yet explicitly, i.e., ego-consciously interacted.

Notice that programming a computer to perform arithmetic is the very same procedure as that of
Goedel-numbering. < superluminal aether jet stream> There is no relativistic limit on velocity
for processes essential to the underlying mechanism of mass generation. Mass or inertia is a
function of a bodys information content, not its density of data. Information of whatever
informs that is surprises the vacuum, that is to say, does something to some vacuum state
though embedded within some other, disjoint vacuum state. This is the notion of
incommensurability of distinct vacua. These distinct vacua are by their very nature infinite and
bounded, the exact converse to the structure of intersubjective spacetime. To remove all of the
degeneracies from the mind as an organ of consciousness is merely a single mode out of an infinite
number of Gods modes of being.

No deterministic or logically deductive path to the result, however, the human mind seems
convinced that here the word potential nonetheless refers to this hypothetical concrete (and not
merely abstract) entity.



Metaphors only work when they succeed in modeling or pointing up the relevant features of
phenomena. The question arises as to what peculiar faculty is involved in cognizing just what
are the relevant features and ignoring the rest of the new phenomena we are trying to understand.
The filtering and suppressing of phenomenal details necessary for the formation of abstract
perceptions is a fundamentally creative process. There is the hidden assumption here that in
some sense each conscious observer is constantly in the presence of all of the phenomena (this may
be interpreted as the complete, infinite and bounded matrix of phenomena underlying the
observers consciousness).


The failure of metaphors when taken too literally is exactly analogous to the collapse of
scientific paradigms. This taking of metaphors too literally is a strongly innate tendency of the
human intellect and forms the basis of myth, science, religion, art - in fact, of all of culture. Prior
to the development of language and culture and civilization man functioned more or less on a
stimulus-response or what might be termed subsistence level of mental functioning. The
faculty for creation and interpreting of metaphors is what breaks the stimulus-response loop and
permits the connection between brain states and mental states to become an arbitrary one, that is,
no longer constrained by causal necessity.

One implication of the Godel theorem is that all mathematics and logic is applied mathematics and
logic, that is to say, the most efficient implementation of logic and mathematics is in the form of a
patchwork that is just one out of an open-ended degenerate set. A truly recursive structure
requires the structuring of an infinite set.

This is all to say in terms of philosophical upshot that if a unified and complete description of
reality exists, then such a description does so only as a structure within (rather than of) some
unified, transcendental consciousness.



The entropy of an observable depends on the amount of suppressed detail implied by the definition
of the abstract quantity we are concerned with. Note that the suppressed details would be
identified with other distinct observable rather than with fluctuations in the first observable.

The misunderstanding of deconstruction that is all too common is one analogous to an amateur
physicists initial tentative attempts to understand relativity theory. The meaning of this theory
is only completely grasped in the practical application of the concepts of the theory. (This raises
the question of how the concepts of the theory arose in the first place.) The attempt to visualize
curved spacetime within the minds eye is by its very nature guaranteed to lead the amateur
theorist astray. This is because all visualizations of the minds eye tacitly assume the Newtonian
concepts of absolute space and time.

This might seem to be quite contrary to the spirit of Platonism.


It might be supposed that consciousness is not irreducible because its only a concept of our own
conventional agreement. However, we should note that previous discussion and reading of
Plantingas other minds theories suggest that we dont actually have a concept of consciousness at
all, but only its direct intuition, one might even say, revelation. If valid, then the consciousness
is just a human concept argument fails. An analogous line of reasoning might apply to our
notion of God, if it turned out not to be tied to an abstract concept, c.f., Wittgensteins discussion
of class vs. family resemblance (truth vs. dissemination?) <mass of inertia> <Puthoff>





x-y plane: resistance to acceleration vs. reaction to gravity is equivalent to x-y plane: time vs.

Gravity analogues in terms of relating real vs. virtual, real vs. imaginary, fermion vs. boson,
internal vs. external motion, coherence vs. resonance, etc. What is the common problem posed
by analogue treatments of relativity theory?, c.f., Feynmans observation that all visualizable, that
is, not fully abstract models (related to Wigners paradox of the unreasonable effectiveness of
mathematics in the physical sciences) always predict phenomena that dont exist in addition to
explaining the phenomena that do exist (paraphrase). The fundamental nonlocality of physical
process accounts for natures transcendence of all conceivable visualizable, which is to say,
mechanical models. Is this what is meant by the transcendental nature of nature?

Superposable alternatives are different states of the same system. Non superposable alternatives
are states of different systems. [The evolution of scientific law may be understood as a
negotiation of myriad paradigmatic branch-points within a transcendental reality, that is to say, a
reality within which a non-denumerable set of distinct universal physical laws reside. ]

[Each individual consciousness travels its own unique path through the transcendental landscape
that lies behind the appearances. Each vacuum state, which serves as the interface between the
subjective, individual and intersubjective reality embeds the particular set of physical laws
underlying that particular individual consciousness. The individual
theorist-experimenter-observer is only able to discover agreement with other observers of the
intersubjective realm <game theory> over laws of physics, chemistry, biology, etc. capable of
explicating what intersubjective observers possess in common, however not what accounts for the
distinctiveness of observers vis--vis each persons individual consciousness. This is because
physical laws are abstract and only related classes of individuals. And my individual
consciousness does not constitute a class of any kind, one that is instantiated by me now, later by
someone else, over there by still another person, etc.

Discuss how deconstructive criticism reveals the hidden theistic assumption foundational to the
thinking of both believers and agnostics/atheists. An example of such hidden assumptions is
the typical belief of most scientists that the development of science is not just advancing relative to
a program of solving scientific problems, but that science is advancing toward something called
truth (even if this truth a vanishing point which shall never actually be reached).

At constant temperature, changes in the spectral energy density of virtual photons (derived from
the Bose-Einstein distribution function) must be associated with a change in c/f = lambda, the
photon wavelength. A similar statement applies at constant temperature to changes in the
spectral energy density of virtual fermions. This is just the mechanism of probability
conservation at work.

Analogous to a body at rest possessing an imaginary 4-momentum along its time axis is the
non-rotating body which possesses 4-angular momentum about it time axis. But as pointed up
by Newtons spinning bucket experiment, rotation, or rather, angular momentum is not merely
relative. But if spin cannot be interpreted as the angular rotation of a mass because spin
interactions themselves underlie (provided the mechanism for) inertia (mass), then angular motion
becomes just as much relative as is linear motion.

The twin paradox is only solved by considering who initiates the relative acceleration for this is
what is not merely relative between the space-faring twins. It may turn out that all real
temporality is irreversible temporality. This notion of the necessary irreversible nature of time is
an implication of surprised vacuum inertio-gravitic theory. Irreversible time has no necessary
connection to some extra dimension orthogonal to R-cubed, but is a characteristic of all
self-initiated motion-motion based in action from outside the causal continuum. A person who
accelerates is changing his connectivity to the vacuum state or rather changing the vacuum state to
which he is connected. (The addled soliloquies of an Alzheimer patient cause me to reflect on
the relative importance to coherent individual consciousness of causal vs. acausal (brain +
quantum substrate) processes. )

Interestingly, this changing ones embedding vacuum state, c.f., non-adiabatic quantum evolution/
Psi-collapse is what characterizes both thinking and freely-willed action. All Fourier-analyzable
functions are deterministic and reversible (composed of harmonic functions). When the ratio
between oscillatory spectra is characterized by an irrational function, that is, by a function of
irrational numbers, then the spectra belong to nonequivalent vacuum states.

Are vacuum fluctuations responsible for both subjective and intersubjective temporality? The
fluctuation in E is not equal to the quantum uncertainty of E and whether the fluctuation in E is
lesser or greater depends on the relative magnitudes of the expectation value of E, <E>. Is there
a thermodynamic analogue to the determination of <Q> by the quantum fluctuation and quantum
uncertainty in Q, say where the fluctuation of S and the uncertainty of S is the entropy of the
physical observable corresponding to the quantum mechanical operator, Q in fluc-Q and /\Q?





A planet pursuing an elliptical orbit sweeps out equal areas in equal times, so Kepler informs us
in his 2
nd
Law of Motion. Well, the purely spatial areas and their corresponding times, as related
in the above law are no longer equal because relativity theory tells us that the time and space
variables can no longer retain their individual distinct identities as space on the one hand and time
on the other hand, but that these variables become mixed whenever we move between different
inertial frames.

The radial vector from the orbiting planet to the primary body cannot be described as purely
spatial, but must be described by a spacetime interval. The areas swept out by the orbiting planet

in such a manner as to sweep out equal areas in equal times, which is predicted for a planet in an
elliptical orbit, particularly for the planet Mercury, by the general theory of relativity may be easily
and intuitively (and more or less correctly) understood in terms of a curved space concept of
Einsteins, consistent with the alternative and equivalent concept of the conservation of 4-angular
momentum, i.e., ( of J = L + S), which is to say, conservation of the sum of the micro- and
macroscopic components of J (timelike + spacelike components of the spin current densities, J

It is through analysis of the general relativistic Keplers Laws that the equivalence of spacetime
curvature and angular momentum/spin approaches to gravity may be reconciled. Also compare
spacetime curvature to the least action formalism of general relativity.

Propose a new theory of humor: the mind attempts to cognize in terms of a smarter or cleverer

One important attribute of consciousness is that it is completely self-interpenetrating, that is to say,
there is no physical analogue or mechanism underlying the action of consciousness. Metaphors
are by their essential nature analogues, but the essence of consciousness itself is the very
production of metaphors as such; this is still another reason for supposing that there is no analogue
for consciousness, i.e., an analogue that succeeds in functioning exactly as that process which it
models. The notion of such an analogue is a contradiction in terms, to wit, an analogue that is
identical to what it models. Nothing analogous to conscious could itself be conscious.

Macroscopic quantum states are not sustainable within the vacuum. Such states are however
sustainable so it appears within the normally functioning human brain. What peculiar network
of boundary conditions does the brain place upon the quantum vacuum that prevents Psi
decoherence and collapse only to later orchestrate the very same? In line with surprised
vacuum theory, the brain orchestrates its own Psi collapse via a kind of sudden embedding of its
substrate vacuum within some other vacuum longer in some relevant sense, e.g., time, energy
uncertainty, degeneracy, etc.

The study . . . of the distribution of consciousness shows it
to be exactly such as we might expect in an organ added for the sake of steering a nervous system

Evolution does not involve adaptation of determinate beings to a changing determinate

There is a nonphysical quantum degeneracy at work that underlies the constancy and stability of a
conscious state of awareness. The associated quantum operator is based in the free will of the
individual. The eigenvalue resulting from the action of this operator is not intersubjective in
nature.

This (causal) degeneracy is necessary not to dampen, filter or channel the neurophysical causal
chains, but to supervene over them.

There are two types of elsewhere regions in special relativity, one observer-specific, the other,

Only during interactions that surprise the vacuum does bona fide causality need to be invoked by
the dynamical description; for all other cases, the deterministic evolution of the system density

The vacuum state is prepared to receive any influence causally transmitted to it with the notable

A stationary observer, peering inside a spacecraft moving at an appreciable fraction of c will
notice an unnatural looking slowness on the part of the members of the ships crew. This
manifestation of relativistic time dilation suggests a reduction in the energy of motion which must
be associated with the predicted relativistic increase in the mass of each of the ship, each of its
components as well as the members of the crew. The way to reconcile these two relativistic
effects is to suppose that there is also a local reduction in the velocity of light in vacuum by a factor
of , where

Increases in /\p are associated with increased current density of spin-1 vector boson exchanges

These relative (and relativistic) changes (summarized above) point up the following dynamical
principle: a body shall move in such a manner as to maximally increase its inertia as the maximal
rate. The question arises as to whether this principle applies as well to higher orders of motion.

In elementary explanations of general relativity it is commonly asserted that a body moves in free
fall in such a manner as to maximize the timelike component of the traversed spacetime interval.
This is consistent with minimization of spacelike component of the traversed spacetime interval
(principle of maximal inertia again, viz., maximal laziness principle), as well as consistent with
a principle of maximization of 3-momentum.

The three dimensional rotation group is sufficient for describing the transformation of angular

Some instinctive human behaviors favored by natural selection operating at the collective level
are language, personal adornment/decoration, hierarchical social structure, reverence for (and
even worship of) the dead, dancing/orgiastic social interaction, dominance-submission, ritualized
behavior, suggestiveness/auto-suggestion, laughter, applause in some form, toilet humor,
sublimation, projection, Schadenfreude, numinousness, anthropomorphic thinking, materialism,
seeking of altered and unusual states of consciousness, interpretation and belief in the relevance of
dreams, mass delusion, hysteria, slavishness, oppressiveness, xenophobia, chauvinism, singing,
playing, curious nature, enviousness, covetousness, begrudging, gloating nature, haughtiness,
peremptoriness, sadism, masochism, promiscuity, risk taking, compulsion toward exploration,
expansiveness (individually and collectively), grandiosity, and on and on. One thing is certain
here: human beings seem to posses so many different natures that it is doubtful whether there are
more than a very few characteristics that all humans/human societies possess in common. Each
human society if it is to remain optimally adaptable to environmental change, must develop ways
of maintaining within itself sports (rare and unusual individuals) of many different varieties.
It is likely that the innate to form hierarchical structures is a mere epiphenomenal appearance of
the diversity of psychological make up maintained in a number of different stable (or semistable)
tensions against the demand of unforeseeable environmental change which would otherwise
threaten the society with extinction as a whole.

Vectors describing linear momentum, electric and magnetic fields, and so on may be transformed
away by a change of coordinate system. This is because none of these are conserved quantities,
but only the components of conserved quantities. 3-angular momentum cannot be transformed
away by a change of coordinate system, except within a curved spacetime in which perceived
gravitational forces are present. As Newton observed in his spinning water bucket thought
experiment rotational momentum is a kind of absolute motion. An update of Newtons thought
experiment might be a setup where an experimenter is accelerated with angular velocity equal to
that of a spinning top or gyroscope placed within arms length of the experimenter. The
experimenter, while rotating about the gyroscopes axis of rotation at the gyros angular velocity
reaches out to the gyro and attempts to rotate the gyro along an axis perpendicular to the gyros
axis of rotation. What is the result here? Does the experimenter feel the gyro resist his/her
attempt to rotate it perpendicularly to its rotational axis, even though from their point of view the
gyro does not appear to be rotating at all. One would act against perceived tidal forces, which
would in part manifest themselves as resistance on the part of the gyro. However, replace the
gyro with Newtons bucket of water and the experimenter sees the water crawling up the sides of
the to him non-rotating bucket. But this isnt surprising because the experimenter feels gee
forces pulling him away from the buckets axis of rotation.

According to orthodox special relativity theory the 4-angular momentum of a body at rest is 0
within this bodys inertial frame.

If there are no objectively fundamental kinds of entities, then there should be no limit to the variety
of non-fundamental entities that can exist.

Force applied to a body in the x-direction is simultaneously accompanied by deceleration of the
body along its time axis along with its apparent acceleration in a direction in line with that of the
applied forces. The vacuum mechanism underlying the slowing of a bodys velocity up the
time axis is the same mechanism responsible for the timelike deceleration of a collapsing dust
cloud.

Consciousness cuts across the distinct modalities of sense. Discuss 1950s experiment in which

The continuity of evolution, whether of biological or cultural systems is never formal in nature
apart from abstract thinking making it appear so. The chain of psychological associations by
which middle age more or less successfully tracks the cultural significance of social and
technological change is itself also not formal but closer in nature to a classical conditioned
response.
@$
The logic of Humes criticism of the doctrine of causality is better applied to a
critique of the human perception of meaning, wholeness and absolute significance to the
metastable manifestations of human cultural evolution, that is, to a critique of revelation,
inspiration, insight and intuition as the trans-subjective basis of human cultural and social
institutions and artifacts. Some scientists, perhaps the most creative and brilliant ones, as
opposed to hacks or plodders working exclusively within previously well defined problems, are
more keen to accept the veracity of a hypothesis the more mysteriously the hypothesis seems to
appear amid stream of their subjective creative process. The mechanics that comes afterwards of
working out the derivation and implications of the hypothesis, once its kernel idea is well in hand
as an insight, is more or less a matter of dictation. Are the sources of scientific, philosophical and
religious revelation really so different?

Institutions are created to solve social problems and provide for social necessities. They are
hierarchically structured because history has demonstrated that this mode of organization best
befits the nature of the collective human consciousness with the passing of the generations the
features of an institution that became firmly associated with the institution collectively come to
symbolize it. Similarly, the procedures and methodologies of an institution begin to be seen in a
broader than merely practical light and traditions, more and more cherished with time, begin to
spring up seemingly spontaneously, c.f., Eric Hoffer, success of Marxs system as kind of
kick-ladder scaffolding or template for imposition of social control structures and the
legitimization of these structures.

The unwitting hypocrisy of atheist intellectuals will be revealed with a carrying through to its
conclusion of the project of postmodernity, which is deconstruction. If the notion of a Deity is
not a transcendental insight but a notion derived solely from experience (c.f., the
Humean-Kantian dichotomy) then the pervasive psychohistorical roots of the theistic concept is
surely secretly shared with those notions informing the latent metaphysical assumptions and
genres of the physical and biological sciences.
@$
The deconstructive project, lying in the early
maturity of postmodern thought, still many decades in the future, will bring to light the latent,
theistic cognitive structures of evolutionary science and thought. The dual opposition, creation
vs. evolution, shall one day be deconstructed. The instability of dual-valued logic is due to its
being embedded within the trivalent logic of quantum computational processes.

The relation of metaphor to concept is pointed up by the distinct roles of conceptual thought in

Natural selection has been graced with an infrastructure of order institutionalized long before

A classical physical digital computer cannot exhibit cohesive data structures based in coherent
physical process, but only the appearance of such. Coherence of quantum computation is not
merely formal or abstract, but based in the physics underlying the very mode of computation.
Back reaction of quantum computation is effected by the Penrose-Hameroff ORCH-OR.

If the system Psi represents the most that can be (intersubjectively) known about the nature of the
system AND the system is able to collapse under its own weight in accordance with ORCH-OR,
then genuine novelty, i.e., creation would be the result.

The degeneracy of observational and experimental data vis a vis particular scientific theories for
explicating this data, combined with Poppers discovery that theories may only be falsified though
never proved implies that mechanical modeling, i.e., theorizing through models, is like time and

Cascaded coherent effects of mutation requires that the gene regulatory network (GRN) mutate in

Natural selection and randomly triggered nonrandom mutations. The response of the genome to
a random mutation-triggering is anything but random. What is common to two subjectivities is
intersubjective, i.e., outside the subjective experience of either individual. This is particularly
true when we consider what the other considers attractive about me when compared to what I
consider there is about myself that they should find attractive. A paradoxical assertion in the
extreme it is when postmodern thinkers proclaim that we have no concepts, only metaphors
masquerading as concepts.

Paradoxically, fate is a molder of human beings. The dynamics and kinematics of linear and
angular momentum must be mutually consistent. (Find the mathematical physical theorem to
support this hypothesis).

The dynamics of correlated fluctuations and Heisenberg uncertainties must also be mutually
consistent. Time-varying gravitational field not attributable to 3-momentum flow must be
nonlocally mediated. Disturbances in the nonlocal connectivity of spacetime propagate no faster
than the speed of light.


When intuition reaches a Zen-like level of development, the distinction between subjective and
objective blurs. This is what is called becoming one with what one is beholding or interacting.
Goedel-numbering procedure may be capable of being generalized. The programming of a

Jacques Monod stated that the genetic code is arbitrary, which permitted the most open
possibilities for the adaptation of the organism (the expression of the genetic code) to a rapidly
changing environment. Intelligence appears to be the adaptation, which optimizes all further
adaptation. But is this really the case? The human being is adapted to the environment that his
intelligence reveals to him and only this. The being that the human being is, is a manifestation of
an adaptation by this being to that realm not revealed to human sense perception and sense
perception modified and amplified by mans various observational and measurement instruments.

Can angular momentum and linear momentum be unified in some way? Is the inertia of matter,

Circular angular momentum becomes elliptical, eccentric, i.e., circular angular momentum +

3-angular momentum is conserved by increasing v and mass staying constant (non-relativistic

2) length contraction

In any given inertial frame the velocity of light defines a null geodesic path. Doesnt this imply
that the photons helicity/spin is possessed of both timelike and spacelike components? In a

The laws of nature may be likened to the rules governing the movement of the game pieces in
chess play. These rules say what is not forbidden to occur over the course of a game, but these
rules do not dictate the tactics and strategy of the individual chess players. It is on this analogy
that we might imagine that the doctrines of free will and physical determinism might be adapted to
one another. A common objection to this view is the one citing a violation of the relative
weighting of probabilities associated with the wavefunction describing an observed system, the
observers brain, or the combined observer + system. Although one should think that the
Heisenberg principle would indeed allow myriad distinct choices of chess moves open to the chess
player at any particular juncture, which he may select without disturbing because consistent with
the probabilities.

There are theoretical mating positions that may be introduced by hand onto a chessboard but which
cannot actually come into being during over-the-board play. We might liken these positions to
insights or intuitions not open to rational thought and moreover, not accessible via deterministic
brain functioning, i.e., the brain could never have arrived at the insights as a result of either
temporal evolution describable by a Schrodinger equation of motion or evolution of aggregate
expectation values for quantum brain states. But here genuine thought is required which places
the brain outside of the constraints imposed by the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, i.e., the brain
thinks, that is, processes information not merely through the alternate reduction and enhancement
of its complementary Heisenberg uncertainties. The operation of insight defies the convenient
definition of information as the mere reduction of, e.g., Heisenberg uncertainty. The arrival at
the unreachable theoretical mating positions presupposes the violation of or augmentation (or
both) of the rules of chess.

And if his choice does disturb the probabilities then there is still a way out the Psi function of
observers brain system, observer + system can simply collapse. Interestingly, the Monte Carlo
fallacy is essentially consistent with the logic of quantum probability. For example, if one is
measuring electron spins in a Stern-Gerlach experiment, there is nothing to prevent an
experimenter from observing +1/2, +1/2, +1/2, +1/2 and so on, for 100 consecutive runs of the
experiment with the system prepared identically in each case, c.f., Bayesian Probability. But the
respective probabilities for each observation of spin + would become linked and cease their
mutual independence. <Bayesian probability> and <Monte Carlo fallacy>.

The upshot of this is that the standard logical dismissal of the Gamblers Fallacy is unduly pat
and glib and conceals a much deeper and subtler logical basis for its dismissal, which only few
philosophically minded quantum physicists appreciate. Much scientific knowledge carries
through from one paradigm shift to the next only because researchers and theorists from a previous
paradigm were right for the wrong reasons. This reminds me of the Beatles lyric: And though
she feels as if she's in a play, she is anyway.

The gamblers fallacy might be valid within a quantum context if there is indeed an
observer-interference effect, say on account of the connection of consciousness and wavefunction
collapse.

Should the vacuum also contain modulations put there by quantum computer scientists and
engineers occupying alternative MWI QM universes? Quantum solipsism.

Each of the complex elements of the mathematical machinery of general relativity underlying the
elegant simplicity of the Einstein field equations to the right hand side of the equal sign, e.g.,
Riemann tensor, scalar curvature, Christofel symbols (of the 1
st
and 2
nd
kind), parallel transport,
geodesic deviation, and so on is derived from the metric tensor, g
ik
. The metric tensor, specifies
in essence how light propagates at every coordinate of spacetime. Moreover the converse of this
is also true: the manner in which light propagates within spacetime shows the structure of
spacetime, i.e., specifies the metric of spacetime, g
ik
. Therefore, any theory that can provide the
physical as opposed to formal explanation for the propagation of electromagnetic radiation is at
least equivalent to general relativity, if not containing general relativity as a special case. But the
propagating photon is not just an oscillatory exchange of energy between electric and magnetic
fields interlocked along the photons trajectory. The photons trajectory also defines the ratio of
the photons energy and 3-momentum uncertainties, as well as the local interface of spacetime
with the elsewhere region, i.e., the local hypersurface across which matter and vacuum (real and
virtual particles/fields) exchange momentum and energy.

Within so-called free space the momentum and energy exchanged across the local spacetime
boundary are exclusively virtual. Under acceleration/ within gravitational fields, this
momentum and energy possesses a mixed real/virtual character. This exchanged
momentum-energy is really in the form of fluctuations in momentum and energy, i.e.,, vacuum
fluctuations. These vacuum fluctuations may be understood in terms of discrete, quantum
transitions in momentum and energy much after the fashion of a cubical symmetric crystal lattice.
These quantum transitions obey quantum mechanical selection rules that specify allowable
transitions of energy, angular momentum, spin, etc. This is all to say that propagation of a
photon is at a deeper physical level an exchange of spin-1 momentum-energy for spin-0
energy-momentum (general case for arbitrary spacetime). _____

In the particular case of photon propagation through so-called flat spacetime (free space), there
exist an exchange of spin-1 3-momentum for spin 4-momentum (or, if you like, 1-momentum or
i-momentum, keeping in mind the designation 3 + 1 for the usual Minkowski spacetime.)
What governs the propagation of a photon, whether within free space or in the presence of fields, is
quantum vacuum statistics. So our chain of reasoning may be summarized synoptically as
follows: vacuum statistical laws photon propagation metric tensor elements of the
everything to the right hand side of the Einstein field
equations. But what then about everything to the left hand side of the field equations, i.e.,
8GT
uv
, <8GT
uv
>? That is to say, it is how the spontaneous fluctuations in quantum vacuum
momentum-energy affect the Heisenberg uncertainties in the quantum vacuum which determines
the phenomenology of the theory, that is, the induced vacuum uncertainties determine what we can
and do in fact measure the momentum-energy tensor to be?
@$
To suppose that the vacuum itself
gravitates is to engage in a kind of illegal double counting of the vacuum energy.

Or perhaps rather when the vacuum fluctuations can no longer fit safely inside the Heisenberg
uncertainties corresponding to these fluctuating physical quantities then the vacuum goes out of
equilibrium by some tiny amount which we interpret as inertial mass and which matter itself
interprets as gravitation.
@$
This is the philosophical-phenomenological basis for supposing that
the property of inertia may be derived from the mechanism of gravitation. In other words,
inertia is an illusion experienced by free will beings (whose consciousness experiences time
(temporality), inert and stupid matter experiencing only gravitation (free fall) and a foreordained
trajectory.

The operation in the brain of truly nonlocal quantum processes throughout the brains full spatial
dimensions would permit very strange responses to stimuli, for example, a person subject to a
sensory input might interpret the input prior to its having spread to even the tiniest portion of the
gray matter closest to where the sensory impulse shall a brief moment later enter and be relayed
throughout a vast subnetwork of the brains nervous circuits.
@$
This would be almost as though
the interpretation of the stimulus greets the stimulus at the front door as it were or perhaps even so
far as greeting it where the driveway meets the public sidewalk, c.f., reaction time experiments of
Benjamin Libet.

rational though not unified (open) system. How can a fundamentally irreversible process such as
creative evolution be understood as an ultimately rational process? The notion of the
development and unfolding of an open system from preexistent (though not fully determinate)
potentialities is difficult to grasp.

Complementarity of conjugate observables as pure state and superposition simultaneously seems

/\x/\p may be physically explained in terms of the latent motion (momentum) cyclic and reversible
that defines structures. Energy plays the role of providing stability and persistence of these flux
stabilities of latent motion spatial measurement requires that we intervene in this latent cyclic
motion though without prior knowledge of where in that cycle of motion the, e.g., particle resides.
The momentum uncertainty, /\p seems to imply that this cyclic motion underlying the flux stability
(that we perceive at the gross level of observation to be stability and rest) is an oscillatory
acceleration. An oscillatory acceleration constituting the stability flux of matter is necessary for
the causal continuity of spatial scale. See: Fourier-like decomposition of motion in
3-dimensions into the specific spin structures would decompose irreversible (timelike) motions.
Timelike angular momentum has six distinct components, each corresponding to a phase space
plane, i.e.,

A peculiarity of the logic of the ancient Semitic peoples as opposed to that which we have
inherited from the ancient Greeks is that it is in essence a trivalent logic composed of truth/validity
vs. falsity/invalidity vs. hyperbole. The fantastic stories of the Old Testament should be read with
this in mind. Western people commonly speak of a loved one still being present and with the
deceased watching over in guardian angel fashion his or here loved ones. Another characteristic
of the Semitic mind is that of the switching off of the rational mind of true vs. false and its being
temporarily replaced with a mind ruled by the opposition good vs. evil.

A medium possessing both rationality and emergent (as opposed to permutational and
combinational, i.e., group theoretic/symmetrical structure of conserved substance/entities within a
closed system) creativity seems paradoxical.

The rationality of DNA is pointed up by the property of robust integrality of two (and possibly
more) gene sequences, i.e., sexual reproduction. What we are speaking of here is a rational
though non-unified (open) system. How can a fundamentally irreversible process such as
creative evolution be understood as ultimately rational process? The notion of the development
and unfolding of an open system from preexistent (though not fully determinate) potentialities is
difficult to grasp.

Space is reversible motion; time is irreversible motion.

The operation in the brain of truly nonlocal quantum processes throughout the brains full spatial
dimensions to stimuli, for example, a person subject to a sensory input might interpret the input
prior to its having spread to even the tiniest portion of the gray matter closest to where the sensory
impulse shall a brief momentum later enter and be relayed throughout a vast subnetwork of its
nervous circuits. This would be almost as though the interpretation of the stimulus greets the
stimulus at the front door as it were, or perhaps even so far as where driveway meets the curb.


Terms with pure meanings in one language are a superposition (or fusion) of two or more
meanings when translated into another language. Schrodinger Cat Paradox: alternate universes
only exist at the microscopic or submesoscopic scale. Myriad microscopic alternate universes
support the irreversible existence of non-decoherable being within this spacetime. This is
reminiscent of the quantum gravity notion of tiny curled up extra spatial dimensions.
Hypothesis: what cannot be described by a quantum mechanical wavefunction (though perhaps
with a density matrix describing a thermodynamic mixed quantum state) must be described as an
irreversible process or a phenomenologically reversible process with a substantively irreversible
process underlying it.

It is this convergence of quantum structures and information from multiple alternate MWI QM
universes that accounts for the irreversible existence of macroscopic entities and systems, c.f.,
superposition mechanism underlying covalent molecular bonding.

The electrostatic force between two oppositely charged metal plates is independent of the plate
separation for separations of negligible size in relation to the plates dimensions.

For nonnegligible plate separation the electrostatic force between the plates varies inversely with
distance. The Casimir effect acting between closely separated electrically conducting parallel
plates varies with the inverse tesseract. Note that the momentum uncertainty of two particles
kept within an interval, /\x is h//\x = /\p and so /\p varies inversely with distance, /\x. Had we
been speaking of parallel thin rods of separation, /\x the momentum uncertainty, /\p should vary
with the inverse square (provided that the rod separation, /\x remains negligible in relation to the
rods dimensions). Similarly, /\p should vary with the inverse cube of /\x (for negligible /\x).
Also, taking into account the fact that if /\p of the plates geometry is decreasing with 1/R
3
, and if
/\(4-momentum) is conserved, then /\E within the plates geometry should be increasing with the
inverse cube of the plate separation.

This is to say that, since we have (/\x) /\P
0
/(/\x//\x

3

(/\t) /\E

(/\t//\t

where /\t /\x/c and /\x/\p h; /\t/\E h

is consistent with a view of the quantum
vacuum as a kind of photonic crystal, i.e., fluctuations in crystal energy are defined by spontaneous
quantum jumps of the crystals global energy between its various discrete energy levels (consistent
with the applicable quantum selection rules, of course, and which are tied to discrete fluctuations
in the cystals momentum). This implies the unusual-looking set of uncertainty relations.

If all real physical change within the vacuum crystal must be associated with discrete energy
transitions associated with discrete energy transitions of the crystal, then each exchange of
3-momentum within the crystal must be accompanied by a discrete change in the crystal energy of
pc, where p is the exchanged momentum (photon). Changes in the state of the crystal not
involving changes in energy are not coupled with exchanges of force-mediating particles (due to
the unbroken symmetry of the energy degenerate state).

In other words, although the cyanide dispensing apparatus may exist in a superposition state, (

) because the cat, being a classically coherent,
organically complex system cannot decohere ( in a quantum mechanical sense) and cannot itself be
described consistently as a pure state, i.e., the cat has no wavefunction description. The
implication here is that entities possessing a consistent description in terms of a quantum
mechanical Psi and which therefore exhibit superposition states (under certain measurement
conditions) are merely abstract in nature. Real entities on the other hand possess no such
convenient quantum description. Such entities exist irreversibly. In this way reversible
interactions can only propagate upward in spatial scale to probably only that of submillimeter
dimensions. About this spatial scale the congeries of parallel quantum universes will have
committed themselves to a particular form for their mutual collaboration.

The coherence length (and time) of the mutual interaction of quantum universes, more particularly
the consequent decoherence of a wavepacket formed and sustained through their cooperation,
bears a special connection to another uniquely quantum phenomenon that of wavefunction
collapse. In the first case nature is at work and the process of decoherence is relatively gradual.
In the latter case it is presumably the human mind/consciousness and/or free will at work and
here the change to the wavefunction with respect to the observation/acquiring knowledge of the
results of quantum measurement is precipitous, as well as is the decoherence sudden for the phase
relations of the superposed eigenfunctions with respect to the relatively incompatible observables
of the system in question.

Reversible, that is, vibrational, oscillatory, rotational motions constitute the temporality that is
easily spatialized by our relatively sluggish human perceptual processes. Reversible motion
constitutes the spatial aspect of physical reality, irreversible motion, its temporal aspect.

Virtually infinite vacuum energy density may perhaps be consistently reinterpreted as
superposition of vacuum energy densities from 3-hypersurfaces (volumes) occupying past (and
perhaps even future) times. This effectively distributes the vacuum energy, virtually infinite in
density within 3 dimensions although perhaps quite small (even comparable to the currently
predicted cosmological constant) when evenly distributed across a 4 dimensional volume of
timelike length 1.3 x 10
10
light years. This solution to the non-gravitating quantum vacuum is
related to the recently proposed holographic universe theories. Such theories may help to
explain the coincidence of both quantum tunneling particles and ordinary particles at rest
possessing imaginary momenta.

Unbound electromagnetic energy, that is, electromagnetic vacuum fluctuations not subject to
boundary conditions (in space or in time) does not exhibit resonance, vacuum fluctuations are not
amplified (or enhanced) in the absence of vacuum boundary conditions represented by matter, i.e.,
real particles and fields. Strangely, real bosons and real fermions, though governed by
altogether different quantum statistics nonetheless perturb the quantum statistics of the vacuum in
similar manner , enhance Bose fluctuations (real momentum fluctuations) of the vacuum and
suppress Fermi fluctuations (imaginary momentum fluctuations). This is the quantum
mechanical basis of four momentum conservation.

Any electromagnetic interaction that induces a change in the electric permittivity of the vacuum
must at the same time induce a change in the magnetic permeability of the vacuum in the same

Can any single human person be supposed to be the expression of an essence, when the human

So the two distinct mechanical analogue interpretations of general relativity may both be valid as
physical explanations of general relativistic effects of gravity only if the structure of each
analogue, one quantum statistical, the other electromagnetic must be either logically equivalent or
one must be a subset of the other. For example, if the quantum statistical explanation is to be
considered the more general analogue interpretation, then it must be the quantum statistical aspect
of electromagnetic fields (photons) and electric current densities (electron-positron pairs), as well
as the electromagnetic properties of spin 1 and composite spin 0 particles that provide two
associated, secondary analogue models.

Look at the quantum mechanical effects of vacuum polarization and magnetization in terms of
how each affects the correlation and anticorrelation of bosons and fermion-antifermions,
respectively. This will require an extensive review of Maxwells equations within
dielectric/diamagnetic media. Need to review magnetization and polarization boundary
conditions of Maxwells equations, c.f., also with the idea of essential connection of inertia to
binding energy.

Propagation of light in a conducting medium. The principle of special and general relativity
must remain valid for propagation of light through all modified vacua, including vacua modified
by dielectric media as well as other electromagnetic boundary conditions upon free space vacuum.
There must be an elasticity to the electromagnetic vacuum revealed by vacuum polarization
phenomena. A particle with mass such as a W boson represents an excited state of the quantum
vacuum, which therefore must decay exponentially. A massless particle is not an excitation of
the vacuum.

Continuous increase in the electromagnetic field intensity above 0.511MeV leads to an increase in
||
2
within the rest frame. On account of the Pauli principle there is an attendant decrease in the
virtual component of ||
2
while the Bose principle guarantees a concomitant increase in the ||
2
.
There is another more physical way of looking at a Lorentz boost of the quantum vacuum
electromagnetic field at any spacetime coordinate. This more physical viewpoint is to be taken
from the standpoint of condensed matter theory, more specifically. The presence of real
fermions may be interpreted from this viewpoint as defects within the otherwise perfect cubic
symmetry of the vacuum lattice structure. These crystalline defects reduce the correlation of
composite e+e- bosons so that they begin to act more and more like individual fermions subject to
the Pauli principle once again. The presence of an electric field, by polarizing the vacuum
produces this very same effect of reducing the correlation (or rather, anticorrelation) of spin 0
energy fluctuations by reducing the quantum correlation of each virtual fermion with its virtual
antifermion partner. The converse effect should be expected the vacuum in the presence of a
magnetic field, i.e., the B-field provides an axis along which fermions may align their spins,
parallel in the case of, e.g., e- and antiparallel in the case of e+. It is clear that the impressed B
field increase the anticorrelation of fermions with antifermions, causing the virtual e-e+ pair to
behave more as a composite spin 0 particle (boson), thus reducing the interference of the Pauli
principle (via the Pauli-blocking effect) with the tendency of the quantum vacuum to partially
condense. By virtue of the vector relationship of /\p and /\E, it appears there is now in our grasp
a handy physical, condensed matter explanation of the masslessness of the photon. The cycle of
increasing B field, decreasing E-field for cycle, followed by a cycle of increasing E-field,
decreasing B-field in which the effect of each cycle (lasting only as long as /\t, the Heisenberg
time uncertainty) is exactly compensated against by the following cycle, just as though inertial
mass of the photon increases with increasing E-field, decreased with decreasing E-field (and
increasing B-field).

Only essences may be compared as to their relative aesthetic value and then only by a
transcendental being. Pretense at an unassuming nature s at he core of disingenuousness.

Spin-0 means zero magnetic moment; magnetization requires a magnetic moment. u,
permeability is a component of susceptibility (to magnetization)

, permittivity figures in the case of polarization of a material.

As B-field grows, e+e- pairs begin to align antiparallel, decreasing the vacuums susceptibility to
further magnetization, hence decreasing magnetization, hence decreasing u
0
, in turn leading to an
increase in c
local
, provided that no exactly compensating change in occurs. Also, the density of
spin 0 composite bosons increases (more accurately the virtual e+ and e-s become more highly
quantum anticorrelated) leading to an increase in /\E, i.e., mutual Pauli blocking of virtual Cooper
pairs decreases.

Suggesting a kind of Scharnhorst effect produced by static fields. (B-field as a vacuum boundary
condition).

Does the increase, decrease or remain constant due to magnetic field induced vanishing of the
magnetic permeability. Adding in the effect of an electric field causing vacuum polarization,
tending to reduce quantum anticorrelation and effectively reducing the density of composite spin
0.

The mechanism of refraction is via electromagnetic interactions, i.e., in terms of altered u and
must be consistent with the underlying mechanism of gravitational refraction, i.e., deflection of
light by gravity predicted by general relativity theory. This mechanism is that of relative
changes in the density of /\E and /\p in vacuum, more specifically, in the density of composite spin
0 ad spin 1 bosons, respectively. There is not expected to be any appreciable contribution to
gravitational refraction due to the equally altered vacuum statistics of the strong and weak nuclear
particles and forces. (There may indeed be such contributions, however not noticeable because
our experimental and observational explorations of gravity have so far been limit to the
macroscopic domain while the strong and weak nuclear are very short range forces. Perhaps
investigations of gravitational phenomena on the scale of which the nuclear forces become
significant shall reveal possibly large deviations of the behavior of gravity from that theoretically
predicted by general relativity). Mention here about the large relative differences in the strength
of the four fundamental forces of nature. The electromagnetic analogue theory of gravity
seems as good a phenomenological theory of gravity to the more general quantum statistical one
because the electromagnetic (van der Waals) and gravitational interactions are both of almost
equal strength component to the relatively much stronger interactions of the weak and strong
nuclear forces.

Infinity is avoided when a system approaches one of the poles of the phenomenological formula
describing the system by virtue of the variable concerned being replaced by a complex variable,
the real part of which is the original independent variable.

Discuss the mystery of the value of diversity and how it is related to Feuerabends philosophy of
nature and science (anything goes methodology).

Can any single human person be supposed to be the expression of an essence, when the human
person also satisfies the dual purpose of providing a base and a link for unforeseeable evolutionary

One reason why the field seems so wide open for speculations about alternative gravity theories is
simply that the gravitational constant big G has only been determined with any confidence to a
mere three decimal places. Many proposed alternate mechanisms of gravitation may not replace
general relativity theory, but serve as small mock gravitational or induced gravitational
corrections to general relativity outside the so-called low-energy corner. Or perhaps serve as
pedagogical, physically intuitive analogues for gravity exclusively within the low-energy corner.

Once quantum computing technology matures enough for computing devices to reliably and in
stable fashion interface with the quantum vacuum and so effectively utilize the fluctuating energy
of the vacuum for processing of huge and still more virtually infinite quantities of information,
similar amounts of information shall be able to be stored encoded in the form of quantum
correlations impressed upon the fluctuating quantum fields at the vacuum side of the quantum
computing devices interface. The question naturally arises as to whether myriad other highly
advanced extraterrestrial civilizations have long been utilizing the vacuum and its quantum fields
in this matter and so, whether this alien information must eventually become accessible to a
sufficiently advanced generation of terrestrial quantum computers. The quantum vacuum is for
the most part a dissipationless medium. But if nonlocal information encoded in vacuum field
correlations propagates at infinite speed as is beginning to now seem likely then there does not
appear to be any particular point in spacetime where a physical connection might be made for

Alternate view column AV-75, Tunneling through the light speed barrier A number of
thoughts on this article. Were it an ordinary electron tunneling through the barrier, the electron
while within the barrier would possess an imaginary momentum and negative kinetic energy.
Since the potential barrier classically prevents the electron from passing through it, the electron
possesses a positive potential energy while within the barrier. We should expect tunneling of the
electron at near the speed of light to produce relativistic effects though in a reverse sense relative to
what is normal for a relativistic electron possessing a real momentum. So a relativistic tunneling
electron should experience length dilation along its direction of motion, time contraction and
relativistic mass decrease.
@$
This is certainly what accounts for the superluminal barrier
transmission speeds observed in recently performed electron-tunneling experiments. It is even
possible for the electron to propagate through the potential with 0 kinetic energy, i.e., the electron
is allowed to cross through the potential barrier without any action energy being transmitted
through the barrier.

In this connection I will have to research my notes for references to imaginary and/or negative or
positive mass photons. Note here that 0 energy transmission during quantum tunneling is indeed
a quantum resonance phenomenon, i.e., a kind of standing wave pattern of virtual electromagnetic
energy between opposites boundaries of the potential barrier. In a complementary fashion the
exchange of virtual photons within bulk matter may be understood as a coherence phenomenon.
So the reputed supraliminal velocities of fairly recent experiments on tunneling of microwaves
modulated to carry complex information signals through a potential barrier may be rendered
invalid in principle. This is because as a barrier resonance phenomenon, i.e., a quantum
mechanical resonance requiring that certain electromagnetic boundary conditions already be in
place prior to initiation of quantum tunneling, time must always be taken to condition the potential
barrier along its entire length before photons can be allowed to tunnel across (time must be taken
in advance to set up the quantum resonant boundary conditions facilitating the superluminal
tunneling). The fact that the barrier must be continually reconditioned to permit the continued
flow of information (if not actual energy) across the barrier suggests that quantum decoherence of
the resonant structure (in terms of correlations of virtual photons/e+e- pairs enforcing /\E//\p c)
shall probably pose just enough of a problem for experimenters so that <x> for the
information-laden microwaves is <v> <c

Effective field theory of gravity.

Exploration of the dynamical physical laws of a given universe causes the observer to travel
orthogonal to his own phenomenal universe, i.e., the true dynamics lie with the collective behavior
that therefore cannot be exhibited fully within a given phenomenal realm. The only alternative
universes are those that one is not occupying. A person not connected to me by any degree of
separation may be thought to occupy a different universe from my own. The thermal vacuum
fluctuation case in which neither bosons are correlated nor fermions anti-correlated might
correspond to the vacuum being described by a density matrix for a statistically mixed state, i.e.,
appropriate Maxwell Boltzmann statistics. Why is the wavefunction represented as (x,y,z,t) or

meaning than that of not regular juxtaposition in time, but accidental, uniquely-occurring within an
idiosyncratic context. Psychological associations work by attaching past contexts to recurring
elements. This particular mechanism of psychological association underlies the ineffably
complex tissue of impressions evoked by, for example, song. One question here is whether the
mechanism underlying the evoking of mood and emotion by melodic and harmonic progressions is
the same or closely related to that underlying the evocative power of lyrics artfully associated with
these purely musical sound progressions.

The possibilities of artistic expression abide by an inner logic just as do the intellectual endeavors

Spin eigenstate interference (correlation) versus electromagnetic interaction of real spin
particles.

Can virtual spin particles both interact electromagnetically and exist in mutual quantum
superposition?

Superposition is possible in 1

place because of coupled harmonic oscillator network of quantum
vacuum. Real and virtual particles can be put on equal footing if they are phenomenological
particles, i.e., quasiparticles.

The component of the vacuum energy density within a volume, V

effective is dependent upon cosmological defined parameters, which are time-varying.

Black hole density decreases with r at the same rate as gravitational field strength.

Increased quantum correlation of fermionic states must be associated with increased probability
density of composite spin 0 bosons. But the enhanced correlation of spin-1/2 fermions is
mediated in stages (determined by characteristic interaction distance) by in turn, the
electromagnetic, weak nuclear and strong nuclear exchanges forces. But limiting our attention
for the moment to electrons and the electromagnetic interaction, we claim that the correlation of
e+e- virtual pairs is enhanced directly by increased electromagnetic interaction of the pairs on the
one hand and enhanced indirectly by the increased (enhanced) anticorrelation or real with virtual
fermions/antifermions. Due to the great predominance (in this universe, at any rate) of matter
over antimatter, the anticorrelation of real fermions to virtual antifermions seems somehow more
indirect than that of real to virtual spin particles. There is an additional momentum
uncertainty introduced into the Pauli exclusion acting between virtual fermions and antifermions
constituting a single virtual Cooper pair, over and above the spin (angular momentum) uncertainty
component of the Pauli-blocking statistical interaction of real and virtual fermions (of the same
species, that is).

Increased correlation of bosons should be associated with decreased momentum uncertainty for
these bosons as well as for the fermions between which the correlated bosons are exchanged and
by which non-gravitational binding forces between these fermions are mediated.

Increased anticorrelation of fermions should be associated with decreased energy uncertainty of
the fermions, but with increased momentum uncertainty of the interacting (anticorrelated)
fermions, which must become more strongly quantum anti-correlated as they are brought closer
together. E.g., if the separation of two fermions is <
1
> ~ 0.001, the strength of electromagnetic
interaction of the fermions, and hence their degree of quantum anticorrelation, must be 100 times
as great as when the average (spatial) separation of these fermions is <
2
> ~ 0.1. This is quite
simply because the momentum uncertainties in both cases are, respectively,

/\p
1
~ 5000h and /\p
2
~ 50h

assuming, for example, a 10% spread (uncertainty) in the separation of the fermions about their
average separations, <
1
> and <
2
> (above), respectively.

On this view the more strongly anticorrelated are the spins of two mutually interacting
(electromagnetically coupled) electron/positrons the less uncertain is the relative antiparallel
alignment of the electron and positron spins, and hence the less uncertain is the electromagnetic
interaction energy of the fermion pair. But the quantum statistical force of anti-correlation of
two fermions naturally becomes stronger the more clearly the fermions are brought together (as
positional uncertainty of the fermions decreases) and hence as the virtual photon exchanges
between the two fermions becomes more numerous and energetic. Here we see that quantum
statistically forces and the nongravitational fundamental forces are indeed one and the same only
viewed from two distinct physical theoretical vantage points.

Gravitation as an effective field within an expanding universe of finite, time-varying cosmological

of the vacuum matter current density).


The quantum vacuum field from which spacetime is fashioned are not located within spacetime
and so shouldnt be expected to act as gravitational sources. Only those fields fluctuating within
spacetime are subject to boundary conditions (becoming structures of bound as opposed to
free energy). Only if space fails to be quantizable is it possible to solve the paradox of the
non-gravitating vacuum by positing (an) additional dimension(s) for distributing the vacuum
energy so as to dilute it beyond the point where it may produce a gravitational effect.

Boundary conditions to quantum vacuum fields that may be imposed only irreversibly, i.e., not by
the vacuum itself, are able to produce correlations in these fields that inform the vacuum energy (or
the self-interaction of the vacuum energy). Such boundary conditions necessarily result in the
vacuum being split (initially, at least, prior to intersubjective spacetime curvature being
introduced) into orthogonal domains of fluctuating vacuum fields (Heisenberg uncertainty in
momentum-energy and hence of space and time). This is the origin of separate domains of
embedding vacuum energy, the newly engendered orthogonal spacetimes, i.e., subjectivities.

Local cosmological acceleration, which provides the simplest and most elegant explanation of the
Pioneer 10/11 acceleration anomalies, also implies that cosmological expansion also occurs

Black holes are bose condensates. Less mass density (of fermions) is required (by far) than the
density of virtual fermions in order for vacuum to condense. Black hole mass merely

The average velocity of photons in a photon gas is c/3, however the velocity of virtual photons in
the vacuum electromagnetic field is c because the state equation of this vacuum is p = -. This
equation of state seems to be required by the Lorentz invariance of the vacuum electromagnetic
field as well as of the quantum vacuum itself. In the momentum fluctuations of the quantum
vacuum photons are created ceteris paribus with a randomly distributed 4-momentum (if not also a
randomly distributed velocity more on this possibility later). This distribution of virtual
photon momentum is independent of the inertial reference frame, implying that the average

LECTURE IX: Inflation: A Possible Solution,
What if the Vacuum Gravitates? (Notes on and quotes from the lecture)

Perhaps at the extreme conditions in the very early universe the vacuum was tickled into an
asymmetric state in which it did gravitate.

Recall that the stress tensor, T has a matrix of components for an ideal fluid (italics mine) at rest
of diag (, P, P, P).

At rest? What does at rest in the vacuum mean? Nothing. There can be no velocity-related terms
in the stress tensor and in fact the stress tensor must have exactly the same form in all reference
frames.



Quantum Interference in Bosonic and Fermionic Matter-wave Amplification

Two types of matter wave mixing experiments are documented, one with symmetric
wavefunction of bosons leading to constructive quantum interference

Does any force causing a body to deviate from geodesic motion have to be characterized by an
action? A theory resulting from a full or complete generalization of general relativity would
count any deterministic notion of a body as an instance of geodetic motion. Must such a
complete generalization of general relativity be formulated in terms of a least action principle (if
not upon a null action principle)?
October 2011
Straight line or inertial motion is explained in terms
of the action principle in that any deviation from a straight line necessarily involves impressed
forces, which increases the energy of the, e.g., particle. A test particle will move within a
gravitational field in such a manner that the off-diagonal components of the particles
momentum-stress-energy tensor remain zero, which minimizes the action. Since the product of
all incompatible observables possesses physical dimensions of action, we should look for an
explanation of the dynamics underlying the principle of least action within a mechanism or
mechanisms for how postion-momentum, time-energy, spin-particle number, etc. mutually
transform, directly or indirectly.

Certainly the simple case of a charged particle moving within static electric and magnetic fields
does represent the operation of an action, especially when a valid theory must exist, which
succeeds in unifying all fundamental forces? Within such a theory any deterministic motion,
i.e., a motion possessing a vanishing action, could be considered as geodetic motion.
Within such a fully unified theory of gravitation and the fundamental forces only a primum
mobile itself could be characterized by an action, one which can only be determined after having
committed its extraneous input into the otherwise closed dynamic system of particles and forces.
On this view any deviation from geodetic motion greater than some critical value (e.g., Penroses
one-graviton limit) must be accompanied by system Psi-function collapse (observable perhaps
only through discontinuous changes in some system component density matrices).

A hydrodynamics of probability current densities where Psi is determined from a Hamiltonian
encompassing all particle and field energies within the system might figure importantly within a
valid null action formulation of general relativity.

What is paradoxical about the angular momentum-particle number expression of Heisenberg
uncertainty is the following. An uncertainty in particle number when each of the particles being
created and annihilated possesses spin would be expected to translate into an uncertainty in spin,
which implies in turn, ceteris paribus, an uncertainty in angular momentum. Any process in
which (total) angular momentum uncertainty /\J) is increasing and in which the conjugate
uncertainty in particle number must be decreasing must include a change in the quantum statistics
of the virtual particles being created so that these particles become more correlated
(anti-correlated). Angular momentum is also conjugate to phase. Maybe it is action that is
conjugate to particle number?

Statistical spread of quantum states is not always identical to the Heisenberg uncertainty of states.

(1) Adiabatic change
(2) Deterministic evolution of
(3) Geodetic motion (trajectory)

The mutual attraction of positive and negative charges may be relativistically explained in terms of

The Feynman path integral formalism (seems to) imply that when a light ray is deflected by a
gravitational field this is on account of a deflection by the field of all the virtual paths of the
photons summed together by the path integral.
March 2011
In the same way that the light ray is an
oscillation of orthogonal electric and magnetic fields, it is also an oscillation of orthogonal spin
1 (photon) and spin 0 (virtual electron-positron or Cooper pair) modes. Moreover, the
foreshortening/distortion of the light ray as it travels through a spatiotemporally varying
gravitational field is attributable to the increasing entanglement of the photon in its spin 1 mode
and decreasing entanglement in its spin 0 mode. The fact that the entanglement of information in
spin-0 form can only be transduced to spin-1 form irreversibly supports the generalization of event
horizon + Hawking radiation to a Rindler horizon + Davies-Unruh radiation. The light ray when
falling into a gravitational source is experiencing, alternately, length contraction and time
dilation, however, it experiences this is two distinct parts. The length contraction is experienced
by the photon while it is in the spin 1 or photon mode and the time dilation, while in the Cooper
pair mode. This may account for the fact that a spectral line photon reflected from a mirror
away from a gravitational source suffers no observable spectral line redshift, while radiation from
atoms in the mirror material undergoing atomic energy transitions produce photons with observed
redshifts consistent with the difference in the gravitational potential between point of emission and
point of spectroscopic observation. Polarization and magnetization are both entanglement
witnesses and the electric field permittivity and magnetic field permeability are directly related to
the intrinsic polarization and magnetization of the quantum vacuum.

This interpretation of gravitational light deflection requires the gravitational field to act equally
upon both real and virtual paths in turn implying a gravitational mass equivalency (in terms of
E/c
2
) for each virtual photon corresponding to each virtual path (virtual path of a real photon is
what is really mean here rather than a real path of a virtual photon). The appropriate deflection
may be brought about simply through an appropriate adjustment of each of the virtual path
amplitudes so that the deflected path becomes most probable one. An equivalent way to adjust
these path amplitudes in the appropriate manner is to adjust the (instantaneous) spacetime densities
virtual photons and virtual electron-positron pairs.

Special relativity requires a definition of 4-angular momentum that is consistent with this theorys
definition of linear 4-momentum, p
u
and spacetime interval, ds
2
. Consistent with these
definitions of relativistic physical quantities are those of relativistic 4-force F
u
and 4-torque. The
point of all of this is to motivate our assertion that a timelike axis of quantum mechanical spin is
also demanded by the consistency and completeness of special relativity theory. The total
angular momentum, J = L + S cannot be defined in a manner consistent with relativistic spacetime
symmetry if angular momentum, L = L
u
is defined as possessing four components while spin, S =

The sum of the squares of the 4-momentum is not a conserved quantity, as was indeed the case for
Minkowski spacetime. Rather the above components of the four momentum are merely four
components out of the conserved 16 component stress-momentum-energy tensor of Riemannian
spacetime. This has already happened a time before when 3-momentum and energy, heretofore

Indistinguishable alternatives interfere. Quantum uncertainties are comprised of such quantum
indistinguishable (in objective/intersubjective sense). But in a subjective manner, by a nonlocal
mechanism these objectively indistinguishable alternatives are not only distinguishable, but also
manipulable. Topological breaks are introduced within Heisenberg uncertainties among
normalization degenerate fluctuations.

Energy, E possesses both spacelike

represents the
quantity of unbound, linear and external motion, with E representing a locally conserved total
quantity of energy. The slowed velocity of light in a gravitational potential represents the
exchange through the vacuum of spacetime of the internal motion of potential energy for the
external motion of kinetic energy so that, as it were, the density of potential energy in the vacuum
is increased only at the expense of the loss of density of kinetic energy in this same vacuum in a
word, the contraction of space and the dilation of time associated with the dilation of internal
4-momentum (3-momentum fluctuations) and contraction of external 4-momentum (pure
4-momentum fluctuations).

Linear 3-momentum is clearly a transformation (due to acceleration) of a purely timelike linear
4-momentum, i.e., energy. This rule also applies to circular 4-momentum, i.e., bosonic
exchange 3-momentrum and fermionic 4-momentum tied to the bosonic 3-momentum exchanges,
c.f., Quantum Noise in Photonics. The denser a mass becomes, the higher becomes the
component of the vacuums energy density which is directly tied to internal changes in the mass
component particle momenta. In this way is the inertial mass of an object bound up with the
mass rate of temporality, as indexed by general relativistic time dilation experienced by the mass.
Once all of the fluctuations of energy within the vacuum contained within the mass geometry
become tied to internal exchanges of momentum within the mass, then the mass and its vacuum
become a system closed off from the rest of spacetime, i.e., from external fluctuations of
momentum-energy. Lorentz transformations of the relative velocity of a given mass result in a
transformation of the embedding quantum vacuum constituting the mass within space and time.
How the so-called empty vacuum is transformed is effected through a symmetrical Lorentz
transformation of the fluctuation momentum-energy dynamical structure of this vacuum. One
way to effect this type of transformation of the quantum vacuum without directly interacting with
the mass, e.g., by pushing it, might be, say, through the application of some external electric and
magnetic fields to this vacuum state embedding the object.

Because there is a feedback between the quantum fields (that shall later in the embryological
development of the fetus mediate its burgeoning consciousness) and those quantum fields
mediating the construction of the microtubule networks within each of the nerve cells of the
developing fetal brain, it is in principle impossible to forgo the temporal evolution of these two
sets of quantum fields along with that of the delicate interface between them and take a short cut to
the engendering of an individual human consciousness by synthesizing per impossible just the
right complex structure of microtubules, neurons, and neural interconnections, etc. sufficient to
produce this particular consciousness. In this way we arrive at an important result having to do
with he relationship between matter and mind: there is no sufficient condition for the production of
an individual consciousness because there can be no instantaneous finite collection of necessary
conditions sufficient to produce such a consciousness.
Prior to the development of the hardware of your brain and its being programmed through
learning and experience, there was no possible organic (or other type of) system that could have
been constructed so as to bring into being just your particular consciousness. This argument
from the particular case of your consciousness automatically generalize itself as the proposition to
the effect that no instantaneous (local) configuration of matter and energy is sufficient in and of
itself to produce a conscious state of awareness.

The positional uncertainty, /\x may constitute a kind of abstract generalization of the plate
separation in the Casimir effect: fluctuations of size larger than /\x are suppressed because the
dont fit. So momentum fluctuations larger than /\p fit, but thoses smaller than /\p dont! In the
case of quantum fluctuations in energy, /\E of duration larger than /\t, there is not conflict as these
larger duration fluctuations fit within /\E. Including the contribution of entanglement of
multiple simultaneous fluctuations complicates the matter somewhat.

The external electromagnetic fields couple to the quantized microtubule electromagnetic fields by
means of the intermediary action of fermionic loops, i.e., virtual fermion-antifermion pairs. It
appears that perhaps the quantum mechanical basis for objective and subjective temporality are the
same after all. And to be sure some deep connection exists between the mechanism of times
passage and the process we term consciousness.

The global spacetime symmetry that is broken by the presence of real fermions is restored locally
by enhanced virtual boson exchanges within the quantum vacuum that gives this vacuum a
(usually small) mass.

Each observer may be considered to represent a particular time axis regardless of these observers
mutual relative external motion due to each observers possession of his or her own internal time
axis.

As noted elsewhere the imaginary momentum (and negative kinetic energy) of rest masses could
be interpreted in light of the near infinite energy density of the quantum vacuum, set within an
expanding universe, as the quantum tunneling of these rest masses through the 4-potential
represented by the vacuum energy density timelike gradient. The tunneling rate of rest masses is
affected (decreased) by the inter-parton exchanges of 3-momentum mediating the binding forces
(and energies) of matter (mass-energy).

@$
Binding energy is negative in sign and so greater binding forces of the constituent particles
(partons) of bulk matter results in an overall reduced deBroglie frequency for this matter. As the
overall oscillation that the component and fields of mass are permitted to undergo, f
deBroglie
may
be likened to the clock frequency of the bulk matter. In this way, the total internal binding
energy associated with strictly nongravitational sources may be seized upon for an alternative
mechanical explanation of gravitational time dilation.

But a closely related mechanical model for gravitational time dilation is that of conservation of
four-momentum applied to a system of particles being brought together towards this systems
center of mass coordinate, say by either impressed or other nongravitational forces. In such a
situation the current density of 3-momentum for the system in the form of an increasing density of
3-momentum (spin-1) boson exchanges must be associated with a correspondingly decreasing 4
th

component of the total 4-momentum current density, i.e., density of composite spin-0 virtual
particle-antiparticle creation-annihilation events within the vacuum occupied by the system of
particles. Of course, there can be no discontinuity of any of the momentum current density
components at the spatial boundary of the particle system. The time dilational effect must fall
off as some specific function of distance from the surface in terms of the falling off of current
densities or with respect to the center of mass coordinate of the particle system.

If the expanding 3-hypersurface (representing advancing simultaneity for a chosen arbitrary
inertial frame) merely expands into a four dimensional volume of constant vacuum energy density,
then the density of 3-momentum fluctuations is steadily decreasing within spacetime that therefore
the velocity of light in vacuo must also be steadily increasing.

We perceive the passage of time because each human consciousness is in a concrete way outside of
the continuum of material reality. This observation has relevance with regard to the quantum
measurement problem.

Non-spatializable time is historical time, that is, time as punctuated by the interventions into
spacetime (space and spatialized time) of beings from beyond or transcending spacetime, e.g.,
agents possessing so-called free will. Nonspatial time is irreversible temporality in which some
things are learned and some forgotten. It has been said by Bergson and others that time cannot
be genuinely temporal without the existence (and possibility) of novelty. But forgetting, i.e.,
the destruction of information, is also key to really irreversible time (bona fide temporality). In
other words real time, that is, irreversible time, must advance in kick-ladder fashion. In this
way the productions of temporality become irreproducible, that is, they cannot be produced by
way of a path that is some abridgement of the path by which the original thing had been produced.
So the advance of real time must cover its tracks in so doing, as opposed to a spatializable temporal
process. Real time advances in such a manner that the future is not contained within the
present, i.e., without unfolding.

@$
Temporal integration can only be effected within the frequency domain. This implies that
deterministic temporal evolution is an abstraction and hence a mere approximation of a
nondeterministic evolution.

Because phase possesses the same physical dimensions as angular momentum, as well as to that of
action, i.e., Joule-seconds, it is logical to expect an intimate physical relationship between the
quantum statistical based laws of motion and the relationships governing the motion of fermions
and bosons within 8-dimensional phase space. Without doubt an action principle underlies the
dynamics of this motion. Perhaps Euler-LaGrange equations of motion can be formulated for
describing the hydrodynamical laws of the space and time evolution of the probability
4-momentum current densities of real and virtual fermions and bosons. The motion of real
bosons and fermions into and out of a given region of Minkowski or Riemannian spacetime must
be compatible with the selection rules describing (governing) the creation/annihilation of virtual
fermions and bosons in situ within such a spacetime region. Another way to look at this
relationship of the dynamics of matter and vacuum is that of the equivalence of a description of
motion paradigm to that of the governing of motion.

A real fermion represents a cyclic recreation of a virtual fermion within the same volume of phase
space. Curvature of spacetime may be derived from a curvature of phase space, which in turn
may be derived from absolutely spatial gradients in 4-momentum current density in the direction
defined by the j-component of the current density gives us all possible off-diagonal components of
T

accommodate the current density gradients.

It is typical of youth to suppose that the issues which preoccupied family members of several

Does quantum nonlocality violate probability conservation? Fermions and bosons have the very
same effect upon the vacuum statistics in producing gravitational and inertial effects.

The reduced number density of virtual photons which make a positive contribution to the vacuum

It is clear that the sweeping scope of the Einstein equivalence principle is better served by a

electromagnetism specifically a mechanical model of gravitation which invokes the relation, c =

In the Scharnhorst effect a photon of a given wavelength travels faster than c in vacuo when
traveling between and perpendicular to the Casimir plates because the photon waits less time
within the modified vacuum between its successive transformations into electron-positron virtual
pairs but also the photon spends less time in the form of such virtual pairs as well. If the resulting
decrease in momentum density perpendicular to the plates by virtue of the decrease in the number
density of momentum fluctuations between the plates that, when compensated for not by an
increase in the number density of virtual electron-positron pairs by an appropriate increase in the
energy of each of the virtual pairs. So although the momentum of the individual photons within
the Casimir plates are unchanged, the density of virtual photons with components of momentum
perpendicular to the plates is decreased. However, the energy of the virtual photons that remain
between the plates is increased by a ratio equal to that by which the energy density of virtual
electron-positron pairs has been increased.

Not only reductions in uncertainty represent information but a given quantity of energy uncertainty

The state and dynamics of the quantum mechanical system may be fully accounted for by the
concepts of probability density and functions of this probability density. In this way quantum
probability is only secondarily a function of the spacetime coordinates while the spacetime
coordinates themselves are a function of quantum probability density. While particles (as
strictly quantum non-nonlocal as it were) may possess forces acting between them in space,
quantum states (of a quantum system as a whole) may only possess statistical correlations across
time. According to Bohm (1951), local causal interactions with any quantum within any quantum
system may be replaced with nonlocal statistical correlations between quantum mechanical
systems. These considerations lie at the root of the charge that a particles and forces description
of a dynamic system is redundant and hence superfluous relative to a wavefunction or density
matrix description of such a system.

In particular nothing is added to the deBroglie pilot wave description of a system by going on to
speak of the particles being so guided by these pilot waves. In fact in relativistic quantum field

The swarm of gnats in the canyon analogy of the mechanism of inertia points up the central
importance of binding energy to inertial mass. The correlation of material components making
up bulk matter also contributes to its inertial mass and binding energy may only contribute to
inertia by setting up and maintaining the quantum correlation of these components. The
correlation of bosons and anticorrelation of fermions in bulk matter or rather the internal binding
forces sustaining these quantum correlations are responsible for the above inertia mechanism.

One must manage ones thoughts and feelings torwards ones fellow humans as though ones
thought could be translated into material consequences for these persons.

The decrease in the quantum correlation of virtual photons should perhaps be accompanied by an
increase in the anticorrelation of virtual fermions within virtual fermion-antifermion composite,
spin-0 bosons. Well, its clear that there must be a decrease in the correlation of these spin zero
composite virtual bosons. This should imply an increase in the anticorrelation of the virtual
fermions that are the internal components of these virtual bosons.

A concomitant change in the quantum vacuum entropy is to be expected with increasing radial
coordinate (from center of gravitational mass). In analogy to black hole entropy we propose a
similar variation in the vacuum entropy with increasing area of the virtual event horizon associated
with decreasing scalar curvature (with increasing radial coordinate).

The Pioneer 10/11 acceleration anomaly and the apparent acceleration of cosmological expansion
may both be indications of the effects of an expanding cosmos on the propagation of light. More
distant regions of the cosmos appearing to us as they were earlier in the Universes history than do
less distant regions are characterized by a larger value of Hubbles constant, H and so by a larger
cosmological acceleration, Hc. So if the look-back time of cosmological observation is a
relatively large fraction of the total age of the cosmos, then the observed rate of cosmological
acceleration should itself be seen to increase with look-back time.

Unlike the case of classical thermodynamics the notion of probability meaningfully applies to
individual observations. Virtual particles may be transformed into real particles through
acceleration. What this means is that quantum uncertainties and fluctuations possess
ontological primacy over expectation values. This is a reversal of the implication between
fluctuations and expectation values required by classical thermodynamic theory.
@$
The spin
polarization mechanism of gravity we have proposed is more consistent with the universality of
gravitation than a polarization mechanism specific to only one fundamental force, namely
electromagnetism.

Many researchers have proposed the specific mechanism of vacuum polarization in which real
charged particles attract virtual particles of opposite charge and repel virtual particles of like
charge, in so doing increasing the permittivity and permeability of the vacuum, in turn decreasing
the local velocity of light from its free space value. We have proposed a mechanism of
vacuum polarization of a much more general type one based on spin rather than charge. Spin
or rather the quantum statistics associated with spin clearly constitutes a more general basis for an
underlying mechanism of gravitation than does electromagnetic vacuum polarization. In the case
of the electromagnetic type vacuum polarization, the velocity of light decreases with increase in
the electromagnetic zero-point energy. This may have relativistic implications for the physical
quantities of length, time and energy, but while at the same time leaving out the relativity of
momentum, i.e., inertial and gravitational mass. Spin based vacuum polarization on the other
hand, possesses relativistic implications for length, time, energy and momentum.

Quantum statistics breaks down and Lorentz invariance along with it long before a photon

the molecule, the DeBroglie wavelength of the molecule is h/(m

So it is not energy but information which determines the molecules DeBroglie wavelength,
namely, that the two constituent atoms of the molecule are to be treated as correlated particles
making up an ensemble.

With decreasing potential the number (probability) density of correlated virtual photons decreases
the DeBroglie wavelength spectrum for these virtual photons redshifts.

The Planck limits may be shown to determine the black hole density for any spherical volume of
space. This can be shown through the fluctuation mass relation as well as through incorporating
the DeBroglie coherence limit to the spectral energy density limits for both fermionic and bosonic
fluctuations as determined by the integration of the maximum number of correlated/anti-correlated
fluctuations as determined by that number of waves for each k, f which when correlated produces
Planck DeBroglie wavelength or Planck frequency difference (for superposed fermionic
fluctuations). Look at relations of inertial mass, gravitational mass, (gravitational) binding
energy, DeBroglie momentum-wavelength, DeBroglie coherence Planck limit, etc.

The DeBroglie wavelength of correlated photons cannot
be smaller than the Planck length. The lower energy photons therefore can be correlated in
greater numbers than can higher energy photons. This leads to an inverse square virtual photon
density and a quadratic virtual
e-e+ pair density.

Combining the formula for vacuum electromagnetic spectral energy density with the Planck limit
upon quantum correlation of virtual photons allows us to calculate the maximal density of vacuum
electromagnetic energy (which can be supported by the density of virtual e-e+ pairs).

The vacuum entropy of gravitational fields may be explained by the underlying mechanism of
gravitation we are proposing. The underlying vacuum mechanism of gravitation reduces the
correlation of vacuum photons as it increases the number density (probability density) of these
vacuum photons. This is being said while keeping in mind that the de Broglie wavelength of
correlated photons cannot become smaller than the Planck length.

There appears to be an asymmetry between the definition of information and entropy if
information is defined as a reduction of uncertainty is defined as the amount of inaccessible
information in the system. Can we interpret the above definition of entropy more literally to
mean that information is derived from uncertainty because contained within this uncertainty?
In other words, to better reconcile the above definitions of entropy as information we suppose that
information is accessed from uncertainty. But within quantum mechanics Heisenberg
uncertainty in one area may only be reduced at the cost of increasing Heisenberg uncertainty
somewhere else. The uncertainty created elsewhere as the result of reducing an uncertainty here
may be considered to be analogous to entropy. The reduction in uncertainty along one axis
(information) is exactly compensated by the increase in uncertainty along an orthogonal axis
(entropy).

This is related to the idea of reference requiring participation of the referent in and

reference and hence to meaning. Spin-0 or timelike angular momentum normally defines an
object at rest though moving at the speed of light along an imaginary axis orthogonal to the
normal three dimensions of space, which is to say, defines the direction of time. Within a curved
spacetime this is no longer so spin-0 in this case defines a local direction that is necessarily partly
spacelike. Hence the necessity of acceleration through space being associated with curved
spacetime.

with a neutrino receiver located somewhere in China. It is true that a laser beam, if directed at a
point on the celestial sphere with the correct ascension and declination would invariable succeed in
hitting the target star, however, the invalidity of the concepts of absolute space and time combined
with the inherent nonlinearity of Einsteins general relativistic field equations, it would not be

The crystalline lattice-like structure of the quantum vacuum, composed of a coupled harmonic

that are in turn tied to discrete transitions in the lattice energy. So how is it possible for a
diminished density of available discrete energy transitions to support an enhanced density of
discrete transitions in lattice momentum? It is clear that there must accompany the decrease in
energy fluctuation density a compensating increase in the volume within which the energy
fluctuations exist.

An increase in the hypersurface area mediating the exchange of energy with the reduced-density
vacuum fields. Of course, the hypersurface area may only increase if the hypersurface is curved
into a higher dimension. In this way total probability is conserved despite changes in probability
densities of virtual bosons and fermion-antifermion pairs. It is difficult to imagine how a
hypersurface can become curved in order that the density of bosons increase while the density of
fermion-antifermion pairs decreases.

It should be apparent that a structure or network of spin
current densities that define the four orthogonal spacetime directions within flat spacetime when
mutually balanced should define a curved spacetime when deviating from such as case of
fluctuation equilibrium. But this just points up a quantum mechanical method of defining
spacetime curvature. A model that looks promising is that of a finite hypervolume partitioned by

The paradox of applying the Shannon definition of information to gene sequence space has been

In the quantum theory of crystal lattices, i.e., 3-d coupled harmonic oscillator networks, the
creation and annihilation operators applied to an occupation number formal description of the
crystal lattice implies a creation of a boson (state of the crystal) for each annihilation of a
fermion(ic) (state of the crystal lattice). Similarly, the annihilation of a boson (by the crystal,
rather than its absorption by quantum vacua) must be associated with the creation of a fermionic
state that is necessarily tied to the destruction of some other fermionic state. In the case of a
typical semiconductor crystal lattice, an electron (and proton) fermionic state is simultaneously
created as a result of the absorption/destruction of a photon. Later the emission/creation of a
photon is accompanied by the destruction of a paired electron-proton quantum state.

In order to deal with one seemingly paradoxical aspect of gravitational time dilation, a cosmic time
parameter must be proposed, one that is not exclusively dependent upon frequency, i.e., not the
inverse transform of any single frequency domain function.

Time dilation may be conceived of as a kind of redshift in the timelike DeBroglie wavelength of a
body or particle.

For a massive particle the deBroglie wavelength
h
= h/mc where m is the mass of the particle and
c the speed of light. The larger the particle mass, the smaller the deBroglie wavelength of the
particle. This is consistent with the relatedness of relativistic length contraction and mass
increase. For correlated photons the deBroglie relation is the following:


h
= /N

where N is the number of correlated photons. Notice that N functions in the above formula
analogously to how m functions in the formula for the deBroglie wavelength of a massive
particle.
@$
This analogy seems to suggest that the quantum correlation of the constituents of a
body are important in determining the overall inertial mass of this body.

Perhaps the more tightly correlated a cluster of fermions becomes, the higher the clusters internal
binding energy and in turn the greater the density of quantum vacuum states occupied by the
cluster.

The electromagnetic wavelengths of quantum entangled virtual photons within a gravitational
potential equal the DeBroglie wavelengths the photons shall have upon escaping to infinity, i.e.,
free space. This points up the deep connection between spatial gradients in Bose-Einstein
quantum statistics and gradients of gravitational potentials.

The local velocity of light is also equal to its velocity in vacuo (free space vacuum) times the ratio
of the photons DeBroglie and electromagnetic wavelengths.

Bose-Einstein coherence in particular as the
underlying mechanism of the gravitational redshift and to quantum statistics in
general as the mechanism underlying gravitation as a general phenomenon of
the quantum vacuum rather than a fundamental force mediated by a special
exchange boson which acts between the members of a specific class of
particles.

The other side of this phenomenon of gravitational redshift is the spatial
gradient (paralleling the gradient of the gravitational potential) of the quantum
vacuum energy density. The ratio of quantum vacuum energy densities
between two spacetime points exactly coincides with the corresponding ratio
of quantum vacuum ground state energies at these two spacetime
coordinates. As noted elsewhere the density of the quantum vacuum is the
density of imaginary 4-momentum fluctuations in the form of virtual fermion-
antifermion creation-annihilation events.

The structure of the black hole is determined by the structure of the quantum
vacuum momentum-energy fluctuations that underlie spacetime. In particular
what this means is that the density of quantum coherent bosons (and
degenerate fermions) contained within the holes event horizon may become
only so large as can be sustained by fluctuations in the quantum vacuums
energy (fluctuations in its imaginary 4-momentum) at the holes event
horizon. This consideration seems to add support to our earlier claim of a
direct causal relationship between the density of energy fluctuations at a black
holes event horizon and the black hole mass. After all, the fluctuations
occurring at the black holes event horizon represent the only contact which
this hole maintains with the rest of the universe. If a complete supergravity
theory is ever developed it is likely to be a Machian theory. Such a Machian
supergravity theory will no doubt lead to a mathematical formula relating the
black hole surface area and the density of quantum fluctuations on the hole event
horizon energy to the black hole mass. It stands to reason that if the only
connection the black hole maintains with outside spacetime is a thermalized
spectrum of particle emission that a Machian theory of gravity would dictate
that the entropy of the holes event horizon (and hence, the information
irretrievably lost within the hole) should be importantly related to the
magnitude of the holes inertial mass.

Further evidence that the roles of space and time are reversed at a black
holes event horizon is the fact of the thermal emissions from the hole, i.e.,

emissions. What does this imply about the separate mathematical
expressions representing the fermion velocity and mass distributions?

Local physical laws cannot predict initial condition of the universe since these
conditions had to be determined nonlocally. The same is true of the final
condition of the universe represented by conscious observation. (One is
reminded here of Kants description of conscious selves as being ends in
themselves.) This is because, analogously to the case for initial conditions,
the real eigenvalue that results is a merely local determination of the quantum
state ( the conjugate variables are in a quantum superposition state now), but
one which has come about through the concerted nonlocal action of that
component of the quantum vacuum represented by the observers
consciousness together with the intersubjective quantum vacuum. The
prefix, inter in intersubjective is not to be interpreted as inter in the
sense implied by such words as interstitial or interval or interregnum,
but in the sense of interrelate or interpenetrate or interfuse. This shift
in our (new) understanding of the prefix, inter in intersubjective leads us
to a new understanding of the terms, subjective and subjectivity.

Wigners unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics is owing to
Natures having graciously structured herself as a nested hierarchy of ever
more accurate approximations, though a hierarchy not possessing anything
like an endpoint or summit. This perhaps captures some of the
paradoxicalness underlying unreasonable effectiveness, that is to say,
nature is mechanism degenerate. Also, it is known to many students with
only an introductory knowledge of philosophy of science that any finite set
of data point may have fitted to it a curve described by a perfectly definite
(not necessarily in representing a causal relationship) mathematical
expression.


This permits us to use the symmetry principles of conservation of probability
(virtual particles and fields) and conservation of stress-momentum-energy
(real particles and fields) to explain phenomenological changes in , i.e.,
observed gravitational redshift.

Probability densities vary in such a manner that total probability is conserved
just as stress-momentum-energy density varies so as to conserved energy.


This relationship may be alternatively expressed as the following.

But in the more general case of a gravitational potential what is to serve the same function as N, the

Because our mechanism of gravitation is a function of the degree of quantum entanglement of
virtual photons within the quantum vacuum gravitation is an intrinsically nonlocal phenomenon.

The degree of quantum entanglement, i.e., the value of quantum correlation is the ratio of real to
virtual photon density.

The degree of quantum entanglement of photons (real or virtual) at a spacetime coordinate within a
gravitational potential, i.e., coefficient of quantum correlation, is defined as the ration of the
densities of real to (real + virtual) photons at the spacetime coordinate we are considering - what
about quantum entanglement of fermions in this connection? Here we are speaking of the
quantum anticorrelation of the fermions within a gravitational potential.

Black hole thermodynamics suggests that the information content of matter and hence its inertial
mass is contained in the quantum correlations of the vacuum fields with which the mass exchanges
momentum-energy. Crazy idea: stress is not directly exchanged between matter and vacuum;
rather, stress is exchanged between the vacuum and itself. The stress component of the
stress-momentum-energy tensor is implied by the behavior of the momentum and energy
components. In other words, the field momenta and energies of transform as if or as though a
stress component was being exchanged.

How does the concept of quantum correlation relate to that of the density matrix? Googlesearch
@$
It seems that the extent of quantum correlation is determined by the degree to which the density
matrix of a quantum system approximates a pure state.

In addition to the attraction and repulsion exhibited by electromagnetic and nuclear (strong and
weak) forces there are what we might term statistical forces of the Bose-Einstein and Fermi-Dirac
selection rules. We are saying that the gravitational force far from constituting a bona fide
fundamental force in the sense of specific fermionic chargers and bosonic exchange particles, is an
emergent force derived form the quantum statistical forces necessarily associated with each of the
nongravitational forces, i.e., associated with the fermions and bosons peculiar to each.

The supposition that the phenomenon (rather than the force) of gravitation is in essence quantum
statistical in nature is perhaps supported by the central role of the notion of probability and
probability density in the dynamics and evolution of all quantum systems: each conservation law
of physics is a particular special case of the conservation of probability.

The analogy of space with time though it illuminates our understanding of general relativity, it also
obscures. An example of this is the interpretation of the gravitational redshift. The rate at
which time passes on the Suns surface is roughly one part per million less than at the surface of
the Earth. Given the age of he Sun and Earth of approximately 5,000,000,000 years, this implies,
@$
if we take the analogy of space to time seriously, that the Sun has fallen behind the earth along
the time axis by a differential of approximately 5000 light years. If literally true, this would
imply that light from the Suns surface has not take eight light minutes, but roughly 5000 years to
reach us, traveling at the speed of light.

So an equally valid, alternative interpretation of gravitational time dilation is that time is not
actually dilated rather within a gravitational potential, less physical process happens during a
given interval of time than happens during the same interval within a negligible potential. The
timelike DeBroglie wavelength of particles within a gravitational potential is dilated by a factor of
x (1 + E
binding
/E
mass
), that is, by a factor of (1 + GM/Rc
2
) (weak field limit).

The conversion of mass into energy is essentially a conversion of energy from a bound form into
an unbound form. Photons do indeed possess a timelike momentum, however the timelike
motion of the photon is owing to the photons motion at a finite speed through a space that is
expanding at a velocity of equal magnitude to that corresponding to the local velocity of the
photon. In this way, the photons motion is always composed of equal parts of timelike and
spacelike motion. This is because a gravitational potential is associated with a reduced local
velocity of light and an exactly similarly reduced local rate of cosmological expansion, i.e., of the
space within which the local velocity of the photon is defined. So the constancy of light
postulate of special relativity must be generalized for general relativity in a cosmological context
as the following:
@$
the timelike and spacelike velocities of light are equal. That is, c
timelike
=
c
spacelike.


The effective timelike velocity of light endows the photon with an effective mass. That the local
velocity of light is equal to the timelike velocity of cosmological expansion points up a deep
connection between mechanisms of gravitation and the cosmological expansion of spacetime.

It appears that we have agreed in essence with Haisch, Rueda and Puthoff, etc., in saying that the
basis of inertia is the interaction of objects (masses) with the zero-point energy or quantum
vacuum.
prn=
But in fact what we have been trying to say is that it is the interaction of the
quantum observer with this zero-point energy through the external object as intermediary that
provides the true basis for the phenomenon of inertia. After all, the physicists concept of inertia
is really nothing more than a broad generalization of the phenomenon of kinesthetic strain and
skeletal-muscular stress experienced by humans and animals whenever they attempt to push or
pull a heavy object. In many such cases the bulk of the objects resistance to being set in motion
is attributable to frictional forces stemming from matters plowing (while under acceleration)
through the ubiquitous, dense zero-point (vacuum) energy.

The axes orthogonal to the cosmological event horizon is absolute future timelike and absolute
past spacelike. Recall that the roles of timelike and spacelike are reversed upon passing through
the event horizon hypersurface. The underlying quantum statistical mechanism of gravitational
simultaneously rotates the probability density energy fluctuations and effects a spatial
contraction/temporal dilation that is 3 + 1 on the timelike side of the event horizon hypersurface
and 1 + 3 on the spacelike side of this hypersurface.

Notice from the figure, c.f., black art sketchpad, that spacetime has been warped but not in a way
detectable to inhabitants of the hypersurface the universe must appear flat to observers
confined to the cosmological event horizon/hypersurface.

The gravitational redshift must similarly shift the Planck cutoff length, time and mass due to the
dependence of these quantities on the value of c which varies spatially with the ratio of densities
of 3-momentum and energy uncertainty. Notice that the cosmological momentum-energy
density can vary with the history of cosmological expansion without the speed of light necessarily
varying.

Fully half of the act of willing an action is simply seemingly unbidden conceiving of his idea of so
acting. So in truth the human will can only be half free.

Is the key to the gravitational redshift paradox the distinctness of the photon wavelength from its
DeBroglie wavelength. This might help explain the relationship between gravitational redshift
of both and
DeBroglie
and the spatial variation in local velocity of light.

The nature of the gravitational redshift is not fully understood because the redshifted photon
wavelength is not identified with the photons DeBroglie wavelength, but is identified with the
photons electromagnetic wavelength.



The number of quantum entangled photons, N is related to the number density, n and in turn to the
probability density of these photons and then in turn again to the momentum density of the
quantum vacuum, c.f., HRP inertio-gravitational vacuum mechanism.

The transcendent is characterized by seeming contradiction as it necessarily includes the unity of
Platonism and Existentialism, necessity and contingency.

The relation between photon quantum entanglement and DeBroglie wavelength of the collection
of quantum entangled photons is the same relationship underlying the Bose-Einstein mechanism
of gravitational redshift, i.e., as the probability density of virtual photons decreases with
decreasing gravitational potential, real photons propagating through this photons of identical
DeBroglie wavelength, must undergo a corresponding decrease in frequency (increase in
wavelength) as they climb out of this potential, i.e., gravitational redshift of the photons.

@$
The November 20
th
, 2002 Science News article talked about experimental confirmation of a
hypothesis about the DeBroglie wavelength of quantum entangled photons, according to which,

DeBroglie
= /n, where n is the number of photons in the same quantum state. This relation is
ideally suited to explain the relationship between probability density of virtual bosons and the
DeBroglie wavelength of real photons propagating through this vacuum of quantum entangled
photons. The degree of Bose condensation of the quantum vacuum within a gravitational
potential appears to imply the precise degree of quantum entanglement of virtual bosons required
to account for the change in wavelength of photons propagating through this potential, i.e., the
gravitational redshift.

The concept of novelty in the sense of Bergsonian time, i.e., duration or duree may well illuminate
the relating of now to the surprised vacuum principle of inertia. On this principle only
behavior that cannot be anticipated by the quantum vacuum
@$
so as to render local causality and
nonlocal correlations (which normally constitute causality, c.f., Bohm (1951)) mutually consistent
only this set of conditions provokes an inertial reaction. One can conceptualize these
unanticipated movements, i.e., actions as non-action-conserving after the analogy with the
distinction of non-geodetic to geodetic motion or analogous to the non-wavefunction preserving
(probability conserving) in relation to the deterministic/and probability density conserving
evolution of described by the Schrodinger equation of motion. The creation of information
always invokes the reduction of quantum uncertainty and so cannot be probability (density)
conserving. This is how, by the way, we are to understand the connection between
consciousness and the collapse of the wavefunction. And furthermore, picking back up
Bergsons notion of duration at this juncture, we might add that consciousness is essentially
characterized by what may be aptly termed continuous collapse or a periodic deterministic
evolution of the minds self description in light of Fourier analysis this seems a contradiction in
terms if this description is thought at the same time to be analogous to the quantum mechanical .

@$
Getting back to the surprised vacuum concept of inertia we note here that, for example, the
self energy latent in the electric field of a charged particle is nonlocally connected with itself
perhaps through the vacuum fluctuations of this field by virtue of the nonlocal connectivity of the
vacuum fluctuations themselves. The energy of the charges electric field may deterministically
evolve as a whole, i.e., holistically in accordance with the Schrodinger equation of motion.
However, an unanticipated movement of the charge must be accompanied by local disturbances
in the self-energy of this charge, which therefore must take time to propagate throughout the entire
field or at least until some cutoff is reached, c.f., Penroses one graviton limit. Probability
can no longer be conserved through the continuous evolution of the field and so quantum collapse
(and sudden recalculation of - into a new - ) is forced upon us. There is a question here
about whether, indeed, a particle accelerating according to natural causes must see a
manifestation of a Davies-Unruh thermal vacuum. It seems that any deterministic evolution of a
physical system or system components are necessarily calculated quickly enough by the
nonlocally correlated vacuum fluctuations supporting the substrate system field energies
June 2011
quickly enough to avoid tapping into the relatively much larger subset of vacuum fluctuations
representing causality non-preserving correlations.

The correlated fluctuations of momentum-energy that form spacetime are not themselves within
spacetime, another reason why the vacuum does not gravitate. The observers ability to collapse
implies the connection of a new, heretofore incommensurate vacuum state with the vacuum of
public spacetime. The arising of consciousness may be associated with the quantum tunneling
of an alien vacuum into the vacuum state of public spacetime.

It is true that the brain is embedded within a nonlocally connected vacuum, but it is not the public
vacuum of spacetime, but the tunneling vacuum peculiar to the individuals own consciousness.

A deterministic time domain function may be equivalently represented by a spectrum of harmonic
or periodic frequency domain functions.
@$
An unpredictable disturbance to the
deterministically evolving system necessitates a change to the frequency domain reexpression of
the time domain function to include anharmonic or aperiodic functions.

As stated elsewhere the mass density over the black hole density is a ratio that is proportional to the
gravitational potential and like this potential varies inverse linearly with distance from a
gravitational source. [c
2
/p] = c(r) is on the other hand linear with distance from a
gravitational source and is proportional to the ratio of the densities of virtual fermion-antifermion
pairs to virtual bosons. This can only be the case if both and p vary linearly and inverse
linearly, respectively.

In exploring the connection between photon number density and photon energy in our attempt to
understand the vacuum mechanism of the gravitational redshift, it is important to note that the
so-called velocity of light constant is actually only an expectation value, or this is effectively the
case via the expectation value of photon momentum. Probability density has units of (volume)

1
so 3-momentum density must possess units of mass current density. Probability density may be
understood to be a generalization of the concept of particle number density.

The lifetime of virtual fermion pairs in a gravitational potential must be greater by approximately
(1 + GM/Rc
2
) (weak field limit) and hence, by the time-energy uncertainty principle of
Heisenberg, the energy of these pairs must be smaller by the inverse of this factor, i.e., (1 +
GM/Rc)
-1
. But if we are to reconcile the gravitational redshift with a vacuum mechanism of
gravitation in which the enormous absolute energy density of this vacuum cannot act as a
gravitational source. It must be merely relative differences in vacuum energy density which
produce a gravitational effect or which, in turn, can be the subject of the action of gravitational
fields. If the gravitational field acts upon the entire vacuum energy density, then for example,
the relative difference in energy density between a point at the surface of the Sun and a point
located somewhere on the earths orbit, is approximately on part in 10
6
. This relative difference
in energy density is approximately 10
106
Joules/m
3
!
The gravitational shift in photon wavelength must be effected through a mechanism that is less
direct than a factor of (1 + GM/Rc)
-1
applied to the enormous density of quantum vacuum
electromagnetic energy. This mechanism is in a quantum statistical effect upon the relative
number densities of virtual photons and fermion-antifermion pairs.

In Ranadas paper, On the Cosmological Variation of the Fine Structure Constant, the author
claims that virtual pairs must live longer in the gravitational field created by a mass distribution,
because they have an extra negative potential energy E/c
2
there [italics mine] (Also on
account of gravitational time dilation)
April 2011
In a notable experiment designed to penetrate the
virtual particle cloud surrounding the electron, Koltick used a particle accelerator at energies of 58
GeV (gigaelectronvolts) without creating other particles.26 From his data, a new value of the fine
structure constant was obtained (e2/hc = 1/128.5), while a smaller value of 1/137 is traditionally
observed for a fully screened electron. This necessarily means that the value for a naked electron
charge is actually larger than textbooks quote for a screened electron. Thus the fine structure
constant may vary with time and the decreasing vacuum energy density with cosmological
expansion.

This is only true as applies to the negative energy scalar (virtual fermion-antifermion) component,
which does not cancel with the positive vector virtual boson component of this enormous vacuum
energy. From discussion elsewhere we maintain that a positive mass density emerges in the
vacuum caused by a gravitational field from the imperfect mutual cancellation of these two
vacuum momentum-energy components. Real particle-antiparticle pairs are created from the
energy of the gravitational field in accordance with a generalized Hawking radiation mechanism.
It is the lifetime of these real particle-antiparticle pairs that is increased by the factor (1 + GM/Rc
2
).
Via the Pauli exclusion principle, the number density of virtual fermion-antifermion pairs is
reduced by the amount by which the number density of real fermion-antifermion pairs has been
increased.

The multiple occupancy of a single spacetime coordinate by bosons entering a condensed state
constitutes a kind of extra degree of freedom orthogonal to the x, y, z and even t axes. The
4-momentum current density is conserved, and the probability density of virtual photons of

If the photon energy, E = pc is conserved, and the local velocity of light increases with decreasing
gravitational potential in accordance with


c
(r)
= (
virtual fermion-antifermion
/p

)c
2
eqn. (1)


then the photon momentum, p must increase in step with decreasing c. This would seem to be
the underlying reason for the effect of a gravitational field upon the wavelength . Note here that
the gravitational redshift of is due to the decrease of the local intensity of the gravitational field
along the photons trajectory. We cannot allow a mechanism of gravitational redshift in which
the momentum and energy density of both real and virtual particles are affected by the usual (1 +
GM/Rc
2
) factor due to the enormous vacuum momentum and energy density. Rather the
mechanism must be based in the effect upon real bosons of relative changes in the probability (or
perhaps number) densities of virtual bosons and fermion-antifermion pairs.

At first glance the above formula for c
(r)
seems wrong. Machs formula for the velocity of light
within a medium of pressure p and energy density is actually that given below.


c

So how are we to reconcile equation (2) with equation (1)?

the following.


c

= (p

eqn. (3)


So a reduction in c
(r)
within a material medium would entail decrease in p and/or a concomitant
increase in . The Bose quantum statistical principle, which apply equally to both real and
virtual bosons(fermions), would dictate that an increase in p
real fermion-antifermion
induces a
sympathetic, if you will, increase in p
virtual fermion-antifermion
. The Fermi quantum statistical
principle dictates that an increase in
real fermion-antifermion
induces the quantum vacuum to experience
a local decrease in
virtual fermion-antifermion
.

We are led to hypothesize the following relation:

(p

The velocity of space through time is approximately 2 km/sec. Slower at the surface of the Sun
than at the Earths orbit. Yet this velocity differential cannot be integrated to yield an
accumulated spacetime interval between Earth and Sun. This has to do with the Lorentz
invariance for the vacuum for the quantum vacuum, in other words, it is always now.
Therefore, it is only the difference in the instantaneous composition of 4-velocities (in terms of
their 3 + 1 components) at two distinct spacetime coordinates, which determines the magnitude of
the gravitational red shift.

There must be some deeper connection between conservation of probability density and the
associated group theoretic description and the conservation of stress-momentum-energy. It
seems likely that conservation of ||
2
constitutes a more general conservation principle than that of
Einsteins stress-momentum-energy, the T
uv
, which shall turn out to be a special case of
probability density conservation. This is because the probability density is constructed from the
system wavefunction (the local quantum vacuum in this case) which is defined in terms of all
compatible quantum numbers that correspond to conserved quantities. All conserved quantities
go into the definition of the wavefunction via the system Hamiltonian. Hypothesis: if the
number density of virtual bosons, particularly photons, decreases in the direction of decreasing
gravitational potential, then also should the conserved quantities which define the system
Hamiltonian, wavefunction and in turn, its probability density decrease in the direction of a
gravitational potential gradient?

It may help us to solve the paradox of an enormous vacuum energy density with 0 or negligible
gravitational mass by considering the fact of this vacuums occupying a null rather than an inertial
reference frame. This is because the relative motion of all inertial observers with respect to the
free space vacuum is either 0 or not measurable. This is in exact analogy with the constancy of
the velocity of light, i.e., the independence of the velocity of light from the state of uniform motion
of the observer. The gravitational field induces an asymmetry in the vacuums momentum and
energy quantum numbers, as well as that for angular momentum, that is, disturbs the normally
balanced quantum statistics of quantum fluctuations in this vacuum. For this reason it might be
thought that free photons in a gravitational field possess some mass. Quantitatively, this mass
is equal to

- (1/c
2
) {hc/
f
1/

} or
- h/c{ 1/
f
1/

}

Conservation of probability current density must be maintained in all inertial reference frames
within special relativity and within all uniformly accelerated frames within general relativity.
There must be a distribution function underlying the conserved ||
2
which is the quantum
mechanical basis for the gravitational redshift. The connection between gravitation, information
and wavefunction collapse lies here.

Is it just relative changes in the vacuum pressure and energy density (as understood through
Machs speed of light equation) through shifts in the relative number densities of virtual bosons
and fermion antifermion pairs?

The gravitational redshift must similarly shift the Planck cutoff into the red if the vacuum is to be
perfectly Lorentz invariant.

With increasing distance from a gravitational source the local velocity of light increases with [1
2GM/Rc

-1
or with [1 GM/Rc

the weak field expression above is

The wavelength must undergo redshift as the velocity of light increases as the photons climb out of
the gravity well.

A certain increase in the density of real particles (fermions) decrease the density of virtual
fermion-antifermion pairs of virtual fermion-antifermion pairs or, alternatively, their frequency of
creation and annihilation. There is an associated increase in the density of emission and
absorption (within 3-dimensions) of virtual bosons or, alternatively, their spatial frequency (or
wavelength).

The total number of particles in a Fock vacuum is not fixed. Creation and annihilation operators
can be defined for both fermions and bosons. The 3-momentum and energy operators may be
equivalently expressed in terms of these operators a
f
+a
f
and a
b

b
, for fermions and bosons,
respectively. Creation and annihilation of bosons can model vacuum 3-momentum fluctuations
and the creation and annihilation of fermion-antifermions, fluctuations in vacuum energy.

momentum. . .

There is a close parallel between the occupation number formalism and that of the harmonic
oscillator/crystal lattice. Changes in the energy of the crystal lattice is associated with the
excitation or deexcitation of one of its component oscillators which are necessarily tied to
absorption and emission of phonons by the crystal. This corresponds to the creation of an
excited fermion paired with a deexcited antifermion (fermion hole). Notice that each increase in
the energy of the crystal by one quantum of frequency f an energy hf is necessarily accompanied
by a decrease in the 3-momentum of the crystal by one quantum of wavenumber k and energy
(hk)
2
/m. Spontaneous fluctuations in the momentum and energy of the crystal due to Heisenberg
momentum and energy uncertainty will also occur in the form of discrete quanta, i.e., virtual rather
than real quanta. This implies that the Pauli exclusion principle enforces the suppression by the
crystal lattice of virtual excitations of the crystal. These virtual excitations are in the form of the
spontaneous creation of virtual fermion-antifermion pairs from the crystals vacuum state.
Hypothesis: the momentum fluctuations of the crystal

The 3-momentum fluctuations of the vacuum within the crystal over and above the density of
3-momentum fluctuations for the free space vacuum suppress the excitation and deexcitation of
the crystal lattice. If a given atom of the crystal lattice spontaneously emits a photon within the
time uncertainty of the spontaneous excitation of the atom of the crystal emitting this photon, then
the virtual deexcitation (by the emitted photon) and excitation (by the creation of an excited
electron and hole) mutually cancel.

A perhaps clearer and more elegant way to describe the Pauli-blocking and Bose enhancement
effects of the crystal lattice upon the vacuum is the following. If the crystal is subject to a strong
electromagnetic field tuned near to one of the crystals resonance frequencies, the crystal will be
strongly excited and will undergo a high rate of electronic excitation-deexcitation. Due to the
Pauli blocking effect of real upon virtual fermions vacuum energy fluctuations in the form of
virtual electronic transitions within the geometry of the crystal are suppressed. On the other
hand, the increased density of 3-momentum (photon) exchanges has a Bose-enhancement effect
upon like momentum exchanges within the vacuum of the crystal lattice. This leads us to the
following hypothesis: the Bose enhancement and Pauli-blocking effects produce equal and
opposite change in the number density of virtual bosonic and fermionic fluctuations, respectively
within the vacuum of the crystal lattice. C.f., Quantum Fluctuations in Photonics.

The electromagnetic and nuclear binding energies of matter are greater for a mass sitting in a
strong gravity field than in a weaker field. There must be a connection between the quantum
statistical induced shift in the density of bosons and the shift in the spectrum of boson
wavelengths. This connection we believe is described by the equations of probability current
conservation. If number density of fluctuations is conserved within a curved spacetime, this will
appear as a non-uniform and non-conserved number density within flat or Minkowski spacetime.

A question arises here as to whether the gravitational length contraction occurs only along the
radial coordinate centered on the bodys center of mass.

Part of what makes evolution an irreversible process is that the information stored in the genome
is essentially holographic in nature. This means that the information is coded into DNA base
pair sequences that are not so much arbitrary (in Monods sense) as they are historically
determined. The physics of DNAs peculiar molecular structure is compatible with the
structures, which determine the genomes meaning, rather than any particular base pair sequences
possessing a fixed meaning.

This is why it is not strictly, though perhaps only in a colloquial sense, correct to speak of the
information content of a DNA sequence. There seems no technical problem, however in
speaking of the DNA possessing a fixed information bearing capacity in the case where DNA are
to be utilized as an alternate data storage medium. There are perhaps degeneracys associated
with organic molecules that cannot be split by merely local or causal physical processes this
would almost certainly be the case for DNA if it can code information holographically. In this
way genetic material that has been a part of one cell may carry some trace of this fact even after it
has become incorporated into another cell. This may indeed account for some of the so far
inexplicable difficulties animal cloning researchers have been experiencing, e.g., offspring being
outsized or undergoing accelerated aging, mysterious neurological disturbances, etc.

Nonzero spacetime curvature is measured with respect to hypothetical or abstract flat spacetime.
In similar manner, nonzero momentum-energy density must be determined relative to zero
momentum-energy density. However, note carefully that there are two distinct ways to define a

- { T

That is, a spacetime manifold on which the pressure and energy density are equal and opposite and
on which the stresses are precisely counter-balanced. It does not matter if the vacuum energy
density, for example, is enormous, just so long as the vacuum pressure is equally enormous, as
well as the stresses within this vacuum precisely counterbalancing. Hypothesis, if cosmological
expansion rolls over into a contraction phase, precisely at the cusp of this transition, the T
uv

components become individually zero.
@$
This possibility is the one in which gravity is a
function of the energy of cosmological expansion.

Binding energy constitutes an imbalance in the relative distribution of stress-momentum-energy
amongst the T
uv
. As stated earlier, this imbalance may also be described as a disturbance in the
otherwise anti-symmetrical balance of vacuum 3-momentum and energy fluctuations, i.e., balance
of current densities of virtual fermionic and bosonic creation-annihilation events, or as a
disturbance in the quantum statistics of a spacetime symmetric vacuum state.

Individual particles are indistinguishable within quantum theory. A wave function is only a
complete description of a closed quantum mechanical system. In an open system, theres
nothing to assure conservation of probability.

The imbalance in the distribution of momentum fluctuations within bulk matter subject to a
gravitational potential may be understood in terms of the idea of the gravitational redshift.

@$
Exchange of force-carrying bosons away from a gravitational source (spacetime sink) are
redshifted while exchange of these bosons in the opposite direction towards the gravitational body
are blue-shifted. Hence, the internal binding forces of matter at rest within a gravitational field
are unbalanced in the direction of the center of gravitational mass. These internal stresses
presumably are not equalized until the mass accelerates in the direction of this source with a large
enough acceleration.

P = h/ = h/c

p = h/c[ - c/c]
In free fall the p 0. Therefore, free fall requires that

[ - c/c] = 0

or [c - c] = 0

@$
The redshift of exchange boson wavelengths is compensated via the Doppler shift (opposite blue
shift) of the exchange boson frequencies due to the free fall acceleration of the bulk matter. A
similar compensation corrects the blue shifting of exchange bosons being exchanged in the
direction of the gravitational field source. The altered velocity of light is explained as the
counterpoised wavelength and frequency shifts of the binding force and energy-mediating
exchange bosons wherein c

More specifically, the probability density for virtual photons is an equivalent description of the
component of the 3-momentum fluctuations in the quantum vacuum electromagnetic field. The
portion of this vacuum electromagnetic field that produces physically measurable effects is that
corresponding to the vacuum electromagnetic momentum uncertainty. The definitions of
fluctuation and uncertainty implied in the above passage may only be made consistent if a
distinction can successfully be drawn between the expectation value of an observable and the
classical physical instantaneous value of this observable. There is at work here a perhaps subtler
than usual distinction of physical concepts. The phenomenon of the collapse of the
wavefunction offers us the quantum mechanical eigenvalue in contradistinction to the expectation
value of this observable.

The special relativistic mass increase may also be understood in terms of the effect of the Lorentz
contraction upon the exchange bosons mediating the binding forces and energies of bulk matter
undergoing accelerations. This suggests that the origin of gravitational mass may be related to
the binding energy or more aptly, the binding forces holding together bulk matter, whereas the
inertial mass may be related to the frequencies of spontaneous creation and annihilation in the
vacuum of virtual fermion-antifermion pairs. Another way to describe the special relativistic
increase in mass is in terms of the conservation of 4-momentum within Minkowski spacetime.
But what we want to know is: what is the precise physical mechanism taking place within the
quantum vacuum which accounts for Einsteins relativistic mass formula providing a proper
description of this phenomenon of relativistic mass increase? It is quite simply in terms of the
mutual shift in the current densities of 3-momentum exchanges and imaginary 4-momentum
exchanges within bulk matter and between bulk matter and the quantum vacuum, respectively.
The equivalence principle inspired by Einsteins elevator thought experiment (the occasion of
which that Einstein referred to as the happiest moment of my life), which describes the
indistinguishability of the observable effects of gravitation from those, caused by acceleration
implies that conversely, the phenomenon of gravitation may be mechanically explained in terms
of spatiotemporal variations in the current densities of 3-momentum and imaginary 4-momentum
fluctuations.

A redundant and perhaps viciously circular way of speaking of the effect of the gravitational field
upon relativistic mass is in terms of the relativistic mass increase for the exchange particles
themselves.

Perhaps the manner in which vacuum fluctuations and their corresponding observable
uncertainties are related is this: the density of fluctuations in a particular observable representing a
classically conserved quantity is only short of infinite due to the appropriate Planck cutoffs, i.e.,
mass, length, time, etc., however, what actually determines the portion of this enormous
magnitude of fluctuation density which manifests itself within

One simple way to think about this is that, for example, a larger wavelength particle will have a
lower probability density than a particle of shorter wavelength. The gravitational redshift of
photons, say, may be understood in terms of a spatial gradient in photon probability density due to
the stretching of the radius of the volume occupied by the photon, i.e., the photons wavelength, in
other words this shift in the photons momentum would be consistent with an increase in the
quantum vacuum energy density (increase in the probability density of virtual fermion-antifermion
pairs) with which increase must be associated an upward shift in the zero-point energy of the
vacuum.

@$
The redshifting of photons emitted from a gravity source, e.g., the Sun, would be consistent
with an appropriate corresponding elevation of the vacuum zero-point energy relative to which the
energy of the emitted photons must be measured.

Moreover, the probability densities of virtual bosons are connected to the probability densities of
virtual fermion-antifermion pairs. Because of the fact of bosons having spin 1 and virtual
fermion pairs, composite spin 0, which suggests timelike and spacelike components of a 4-vector.
The dynamics of this 4-vector should be embedded in a probability current density continuity
equation expressing the conservation of probability density current of anyons. The anyonic
probability density current is conserved regardless of this currents direction within spacetime.

The connection between the gravitational redshift of bosons along with time dilation of
fermion-antifermion pairs and spatial variations in the momentum, energy and particle (boson and
fermion pair) number densities of the quantum vacuum may be mathematically explicated in terms
of changes in representation, i.e., from position to momentum representation and from time
functions to functions of frequency.

One cannot store information anywhere. Information is a function of a creative, dynamic
process. Only data that represent information in a context dependent way may be thought of as a
commodity whose stock varies at different times and places. Evolution, in other words, is
brought forward and its multifarious fruits sustained by open-ended process acting within an
ostensibly closed system (biosphere).

The smaller the wavepacket becomes, the greater the energy associated with the mutual
interference in time of the component waves of the wavefunction, i.e., the higher becomes the
beats frequency. The energy of the quantum mechanical beats of the wavepacket may be
understood as the fluctuations in the internal momentum of the wavepacket due to momentum
exchange within the packet. This interpretation of the temporal interference of the wavepackets
components in relation to the size of the wavepacket appears consistent with the relation /\x
j
/\p
j

hbar (where j = 1,2,3)

If the wavepacket is accelerated to some velocity, v, then if the direction of this acceleration is
along the x-axis, then the positional uncertainty of the wavepacket must suffer a Lorentz
contraction. And according to the Planck relation, the momentum uncertainty of the wavepacket
must experience an expansion or dilation. The time dilation experienced by the wave packet
when travelling at velocity v = v
x
must be accompanied by a contraction of the energy uncertainty
of the wavepacket.
The relativistic increase in the wavepacket mass must be embodied in the relativistic effects upon
/\p and /\E. The /\p
j
and /\E must be related in much the same way as <p> and <E>, namely the
/\p
j
and /\E for a particular system must in some way comprise a conserved quantity, e.g., sqrt[/\
2
p
j

+ /\
2
E] = /\T
uv
?

This could perhaps be made technically consistent with present theory by thinking of /\p and /\E as
merely the quantum vacuum components of the composite system wavepacket + vacuum. The
nothingness in which the composite system is nonlocal so the new values of /\p and /\E for the
composite system (now closed) are wholly internal and not in part due to interference from outside
the system.

The mixing entropy which results from the combining of, for example, two distinct gases within a
single container from either side of a formerly impermeable membrane may be equal (or
significantly related to) the sum of the formerly separate quantum energy uncertainties minus the
composite system energy uncertainty that results from mixing divided by the appropriately
corresponding system temperatures. The degree of quantum entanglement (correlation) of the
two systems is significantly a function of the reduction in the magnitude of energy of the reduction
in the magnitude of energy uncertainty from that of the simple sum of the individual system energy
uncertainties.

There should be only negligible final state interaction (FSI) between the virtual particles of a
spontaneously created and annihilated fermion-antifermion pair. This is because the lifetime of
the pair is defined by the time uncertainty in the fluctuation of vacuum energy represented by the
pair.

If an otherwise isolated or closed quantum system is considered to be correlated with the evolution
of the systems vacuum (or ground) state, then the system cannot in a strict technical sense be
completely described simply in terms of a pure state wavefunction. The system can only truly be
given a complete description in terms of a density matrix (though in all practicel case (so far) the
off-diagonal terms of the system density matrix are negligible). The combined system + vacuum
state may, of course still be properly described in terms of a single wavefunction.

The combined system + vacuum must be in an eigenstate of momentum and quantum vacuum with
the interaction of the quantum vacuum with the system which prevents it from occupying an
energy eigenstate and so induces in the system its Heisenberg energy uncertainty. A similar
statement applies where the systems momentum uncertainty is concerned. This is simply
because of the elementary fact of [p, E] = 0. One might alternatively describe this compatible of
the observables p and E as a 100% correlation of
p
( in the momentum representation) with
E
(
in the energy representation), i.e., measurement of p does not disturb the energy of the system.

The question naturally arises at this juncture whether [p, E] = 0 within a curved spacetime. The
answer to this question seems to be that p and E are indeed no longer perfectly commuting
observables in the above case. We note here that the usual case in that of all observables
representing conserved quantities commute with one another.

This is because the Heisenberg uncertainties must always be stated in terms of the product of
uncertainty with respect to a conserved quantity and an uncertainty with respect to a quantity that
is not conserved. But energy and momentum are not individually conserved in the case of a 2
nd

rank momentum-energy tensor possessing off-diagonal components. There are two important
formalisms, that of Schroedinger in which evolves and ^O is a constant and that of Heisenberg in
which is a constant and the operator ^O evolves.

Instead of using a scalar or vector operator upon a density matrix, we now utilized an operator in
square matrix form to operate upon the state vector. A system momentum-energy must be
described as an energy tensor operator, T
uv
in which T
uv
possesses nonzero off-diagonal
components, must be described in the Schroedinger wave formalism in terms of a 2
nd
rank tensor
quantity, namely, the system density matrix. It is easy to utilize the density pure state
wavefunction, in order to determine the expectation values of ^p and ^E, in order to determine the
expectation values of each component of the energy tensor operator. And from here, the
fluctuations and Heisenberg uncertainties in these components may be determined.
Alternatively, the expectation values of the T
uv
may be calculated from a knowledge of T
uv
and
/\T
uv
.

@$
Because Maxwells demon is defeated by Heisenberg uncertainty the Second Law of
Thermodynamics, therefore, is not of a mere statistical significance. The ultimate ground for
this assertion is the fact of Heisenberg uncertainty being an ontological, and not merely
epistemological, principle.

Information is constituted by energy (or its fluctuations) + all higher order correlations. (so the
energy fluctuations themselves may be considered 0
th
order correlations of what physical
quantities only conserved quantities?)

The wavefunction contains all of the information about a quantum system up to but not including
the systems degeneracys. The same information (as that contained in ) may be thought to be
encoded information the hierarchical structure of the 1
st
order and higher correlations.

The quantities, /\p and /\E underlie and define the boundaries of nonlocal quantum processes, i.e.,
reactions, interactions and creation-annihilation processes. So a nonlocally mediated particle
interaction, for example must involve exchanges of momentum and transitions in system energy
that are less than /\p
syst
and /\E
syst
, respectively. When two system become quantum entangled
isnt the sum of the energy (and/or momentum) uncertainties of the two systems necessarily
greater than the respective uncertainties for the combined system? Yes, indeed.

And by the definition of information as a reduction in (energy or momentum, angular momentum,
etc.) see that any information engendered by the two systems becoming quantum entangled must
reside in the structure of quantum correlations created as a result. So in a sense, i.e., system 1 +
system 2 + (x
u(1)
, x
v(2)
) is less than the sum of the separate system entropys (prior to the systems
becoming quantum entangled). Note: does observation of both systems by a single
experimenter/observer necessarily cause the two systems to become nonlocally connected, i.e.,
quantum entangled or just the correlating of the quantum fluctuations within each system? The
case of two systems initially unconnected and temporally evolving according to the time
independent Schroedinger equation must of course be addressed in part of this discussion. When
two such systems become nonlocally connected through observation, mutual interaction or the
systems both interacting with some third system, does a sudden relationships adjustment of the
phase relationships of the two system wavefunctions take place or in addition a sudden adjustment
in the phases of the constituent eigenfunctions of each system wavefunction?

A so-called pure state is a closed quantum system. Once any component or components of the
system become entangled with another system then the original system must now be described in
terms of a mixed quantum state.
By virtue of the Pauli-blocking effect of real fermions upon vacuum energy fluctuations, i.e.,
spontaneously created virtual fermion-antifermion pairs, the virtual fermion pair becomes
entangled with the quantum state of the real matter, however the converse effect upon the real
material system is negligible.

It is necessary to distinguish a pure state from a mixed state and a collapsed state from a pure state,
etc. What determines the mutual statistical correlation of the elements of a density matrix
representing a mixed quantum state? The greater the momentum uncertainty of the virtual
fermion pair, the more strongly entangled is each fermion in the pair with the other, c.f., EPR
experiments with decaying spin 0 particles on whose decay particles magnetic fields are used for
testing Bell nonlocality through use of these fields to perform spin +-1/2 measurements upon the
particles, i.e., the greater is the binding energy of the virtual pair for this virtual pair an
antagonistic or reciprocal relationship obtains between local /\E and /\p of the pair. Also as the
Pauli blocking effect (for relatively uncorrelated pairs).

/\E//\p = /\x//\t = c

We must not confuse /\E
f+f-
with the more general /\E
region
, i.e., the local vacuum energy density.


To what extent can a spontaneously-created-from- vacuum virtual fermion pair (virtual Cooper
pair) be considered a composite boson and to what extent two merely coincident fermions?
Certainly the quantum statistical identity of the spontaneously created virtual particle pair is
determined by the degree of similarity (in the properly crucial respect) of the density matrix
describing the particle pair to a so-called pure or unmixed state. Another way to put this is
perhaps in terms of the relative entropy of the mixed state describing the particle pair. The
higher is the entropy of the spontaneously created virtual pair, the more likely shall the Pauli
exclusion principle apply and the less likely that the Bose-condensation principle will admit the
pair into the vacuum energy density. It appears that matter has the effect of decreasing the
entropy density of the vacuum via the filtering effect of the Pauli principle. The temperature of
the free space quantum vacuum is not known, however, if the vacuum possesses a finite though
perhaps vanishingly small temperature, then the entropy suppressing effects of matter and the
Pauli principle should produce a concomitant increase in the vacuum temperature, assuming the
vacuums internal energy density is relatively constant (over non-cosmological time scales).

The sum of the necessary causes sufficient cause of the phenomenon of mind.

The symmetry of spacetime represented by Lorentz invariance is embodied in the two axioms of
special relativity. The breaking of spacetime symmetry represented by spatiotemporal gradients

As the local velocity of light defines the particular partitioning of spacetime into a 3 + 1 space and
time, i.e., the local spacetime curvature, [c

The presence of mass induces local changes to the statistics of momentum and energy fluctuations
in the quantum (nongravitational) fields of the vacuum which, in order to be coextensive with a
gravitational field, must vary with the inverse square of distance. The spatial gradients in the /\p
u

or in /\p
j
and /\E must be comprised by the variation in the quantities inversely to the distance.
This brings to the fore the question of how the momentum-energy uncertainty in one localized
region of spacetime affects the value of this uncertainty in neighboring regions.

Because quantum statistics do not distinguish real from virtual particles it follows that changes in
the /\p
u
from their free space values must be associated with the taking on of mass by the modified
vacuum.

Heisenberg uncertainties in p^ and E^ are caused by quantum field fluctuations in these quantities.
This reversal of the causal relationships of p
u
and /\p
u
is also posited by stochastic electrodynamic
theory.

@$
According to quantum electrodynamics, the symmetries of spacetime are identical with the
symmetries of the quantum vacuum, c.f., Relativity of Motion, Jaeckel, Lambrecht and Reynaud.
The properties of this quantum vacuum to include its characteristic symmetries are determined by
the nature of the fluctuations of the various constituent quantum fields. The energy fluctuations
of this vacuum manifest themselves in the form of creation and annihilation of virtual
fermion-antifermion pairs, the 3-momentum fluctuations, in the form of the back-and-forth
exchange of virtual bosons. The vacuums energy fluctuations possess a collective spin of 0, the
3-momentum fluctuations of this vacuum, spin 1. The problem posed by the quantization of the
gravitational field is that there doesnt seem to be a necessity for the existence of a unique
force-carrying particle of spin 2. Gravity may be mediated gradients in the density of the
momentum fluctuations orthogonal to the momenta of these fluctuations provide enough structure
to code for T
uv
, the momentum-energy tensor of Einsteins field equations. These momentum
fluctuations are in the fields of nongravitational forces.

What is the important difference between the correlation structure of the fluctuations of which a
Gaussian wavepacket is composed that represents a real particle vs. those correlation structures of

Vibrations of a 2-d membrane require embedding this membrane in a 3-d space. Similarly,

tunneling of a particle superluminally from the absolute past to the absolute future part of the

example of a nonlocally propagating quantum field.

But relativity doesnt allow the construction of a nonlocally propagating field from a set of locally
propagating fields (if the resultant nonlocally propagating) fields are thought to be carrying
information and/or energy). Therefore, locally propagating fields must, conversely be
constructed out of nonlocally connected/propagating quantum fields of the vacuum state.

What is the rule by which the quantum uncertainties of two heretofore separated systems might be
properly added together once these two systems become (1) quantum-locally coupled, i.e.,
thermodynamically coupled or (2) quantum nonlocally connected? And if quantum locality
and nonlocality come into mutual interaction in this manner what does this imply for the
relationship of the sums and products of these two systems quantum uncertainties, particularly
those of momentum and energy?

Exchanges of momentum between particles of a given QM system introduce correlations of
particle energies in the specific sense of producing correlations of the stationary state phases.
This correlating of energy eigenfunctions reduces the overall energy uncertainty of the QM
system. Momentum exchanges are the cause of the spectrum of system momentum fluctuations
comprising the QM system momentum uncertainty.

cognitive structures of the psyche. Ever the same appearances must be sustained by ever more
complicated mechanisms, or so it seems with each new advance in fundamental theoretical
structures. Data cannot be consistently represented as reductions in uncertainty as is possible to
do for information. The processing of data only yields information through a reduction in
epistemological uncertainty. The processing of information yields a reduction in the
ontological uncertainty.

The cosmological constant may be so small because the brain of each potential observer (to
include actual observers) only tunes to a fantastically small portion of the available vacuum
electromagnetic field fluctuation spectrum. This hypothesis is related to the many minds
interpretation of Hugh Everetts many worlds interpretation of quantum theory.
February 2012
Although in the realm of time, space, matter and energy, decoherence above the Planck mass
energy places a limit on superposition, preventing an actual superposition of universes in an
objective sense, the Planck energy is more than large enough to support superpositions of distinct
quantum brain states, i.e., superposition of subjective universes so the end result is that for
practical purposes of the individual consciousness, the many worlds interpretation of quantum
mechanics can be valid, c.f., my email to Z. Fahd on 02/19/12.

Any QM system is in principle capable of an infinite number of mutually incompatible forms, c.f.,
p. 160, Quantum Theory (1951). No one form of the above infinite set may become definite
without the system interacting with the appropriate measuring instrument.

The notions of force and inertia are meaningless in a Laplacian clockwork universe in
which the direction of causality is not specified by the equations of motion. Stresses only
develop in the clockwork mechanism when some element or force is introduced (or was
introduced at some time in the past) into the system from outside (or from outside the scope of
the mechanisms design). The complexity of the systems temporal evolution cannot exceed that
supportable by the bandwidth of inputs to the system. The boundary between adiabatic and
nonadiabatic change to the system is constituted by the boundary between the collapse and
noncollapse quantum regimes.

@$
With only a single ground of being there is no room for the incommensurable (or irrational) and
hence no basis for emergence (of novelty).

The momentum of a particle is defined by this particles DeBroglie wavelength and this
wavelength is also the measure of the uncertainty of this particles position.

What is a particle with energy (rest energy) and 0 momentum in one inertial frame is within
another inertial frame a particle with non-0 momentum and rest energy and imaginary momentum.

@$
The context of a collection of elements cannot be fully analyzed in terms of these elements in
combination with all external relations obtaining between the elements. This is just to say that
context defined elements possess between themselves internal relations, that is, relations other
than those definable through an analysis of the system.

States of the system that are not reproducible by merely applying the appropriate set of external
inputs to the system are the internal states of the system cannot be observed directly.

It is possible that the phase relationships of the component eigenfunctions of the observers
wavefunction must be tuned with respect to the phase relationships of the component
eigenfunctions of the systems wavefunction for a measurement to be performed on the system
yielding maximal information about the systems state with respect to any conserved quantities,
c.f., /\L x /\ h. Presumably, two or more observers could not simultaneously tune to the
same system wavefunction. In other words, externally precise (internally imprecise) information
of a single bit (in the case of a spin measurement) requires the specification of an infinite amount
of externally imprecise information (that is, however, internally precise) concerning the product of
the phases of the two systems, observer-observed (imprecise causal relationship/precise (and
maximal quantum correlation of the two systems). There is a precise causal relationship
between two systems only at the cost of these systems becoming very imprecisely correlated
(strongly correlated with respect to an unknown parameter?)

Does the uncertainty principle require that the measurement incompatibility of conjugate variables
external between two systems which are strongly correlated?
@$
Similar to the Fourier frequency
analysis of time functions, apparent causal relationships may be analyzed in terms of a sum of
fluctuations which are all the more strongly correlated the more statistically significant is the
correlated of the two events between which a causal relationship is alleged to obtain.

A measurement of observable, A, yielding an eigenvalue, a
j
, causes the interference between the
different eigenfunctions,
a
(x) to be destroyed.

Does the information embodied in the nonrandom eigenfunction phases simply get transferred to
the newly created set of phase relationships between the eigenfunctions of the conjugate variable?

@$
The scene was like that out of a movie in which American actors are used in a foreign film
production, which is later adapted for American TV programming, c.f., Tenebrae. Incidents
occur within Italian film, which though noteworthy dont contribute to the moving forward of the
plot. Metaphorical responses may be given as satisfactory answers to questions requiring a
response containing only a literal reference, and this is passed over without note. Important
connections between pieces of information that to an American audience should be obvious
transpire without comment from the major characters of the film. An example here might be
where the murder of a young girl is reported in which one of the causal factors contributing to her
death is an unintentional action or omission on the part of one of the major characters, but where
none of the characters appear aware of this.

As data is transferred from one mind to another, always-new information is represented. Data
moves through spacetime and information moves into spacetime.
April 2011
This observation is
importantly related to the measurement/decoherence problem.

Increased correlation of individual fluctuations of energy within the energy uncertainty, /\E of a
certain quantum mechanical system is associated with the time rate of decrease of /\E. Increased
correlation of fluctuations would also seem to be associated with a decreased /\t. This may mean
that the system is losing its /\E by transmitting some of this energy uncertainty and distributing it
among other systems to which the original system is not causally connected.

The possibility of information (as opposed to data) depends on the absence of bridge laws between
spacetime scales as well as on the nontrivial nature of the 2
nd
Law of Thermodynamics, i.e., the
fact of irreversibility in thermodynamic systems being not mere appearance and not due to mere
ignorance possibly related to the ontological as rather than epistemological nature of Heisenberg
energy uncertainty, i.e., /\E is not due to our mere ignorance to the complete details of a closed
system, but due to all systems being to some degree or other open. The connection between
quantum uncertainty and thermodynamic irreversibility is that of both systems being subject to
more than a single source of outside interference. Heisenberg uncertainty and thermodynamic
irreversibility, each in its our way points up the disunity of the ultimate, embedding substrate of
physical systems. The fact of temporality requires the necessity of the other that is itself other to
some other other (this is the reduction of irreversibility to simple topology).

@$
There is a fine-tuning coincidence involved in the full embodiment of mind in body which
reminds us of the cosmic coincidence of a precisely zero cosmological vacuum energy.
Whatever mechanism is involved in the mind tracking its body is the very same one that was
involved in the original embodiment of the soul. This mechanism must be essentially akin to the
phase-locking behavior exhibited by feedback control systems. This feedback is probably that
between local and nonlocal quantum fields within the quantum vacuum with which the brain
exchanges energy and through which the vacuum exchanges information with itself,
April 2011
c.f.,
notion of brain as vacuum-vacuum interface device.

We cant make revolutionary discoveries concerning the deeper nature of reality without at once
revealing a deeper interpretation of the human person and the meaning of this persons existence.
@$
It is safe to say that there is no objectively final interpretation of the meaning of any conscious
entitys existence, that is to say, from outside the realm of consciousness
April 2011
and for the simple
reason that there is no final summative interpretation of the processes of nature. Existence is
derived from the Latin, existere, which literally means to stand out against. Astrophysical or
cosmological discoveries that point of an even greater magnitude for the realm of that which is,
e.g., multiverse, merely enhances the underscoring of the individuals own existence as standing
out against.

The human mind is capable of logical processes of thought; however the human brain which acts
as the material substrate of this thought does not itself function logically, but in accordance with
quantum physical and thermodynamic principles.

Information is not transmitted from one mind to another. Rather data are transmitted from one
brain to another and the brain receiving this data is tuned to resonate with another set of
frequencies within the quantum energy uncertainty or spectrum of vacuum energy fluctuation
frequencies peculiar to that particular nervous system. Data move through spacetime,
information arises within a given consciousness.

Only tidal effects of the vacuum energy, i.e., vacuum energy differences contribute to gravitation
(and inertial) mass and the Planck frequency is the proper vacuum energy cutoff frequency. That
is, the quantum vacuum energy density can be shown to be formally finite.

But would it really be correct to say that Ptolemy was computing planetary orbits through use of
epicycles was his utilizing a kind of primitive Fourier analysis? And what if Fourier didnt get
his ideas for analyzing functions from Ptolemy or from anyone who got their ideas from Ptolemy?

@$
Creativity, which necessarily involves the redrawing of concept maps and the reprocessing of
associations, therefore requires a greater degree of dissociation than is normal or typical for a
well-adjusted member of a highly industrialized mass society. Certain amino acids if taken in
high concentration cause a spontaneous if mild dissociation in normal individuals, or a psychotic
episode in the already mildly schizophrenic. Guided dissociation is a plasticity different from
dissociation proper.

@$
Perfect Lorentz invariance (symmetry) implies that the energy density of the quantum vacuum
(proportional to the cube of mode frequency, c.f., Boyer, Classical Vacuum, Scientific American)
is, in fact, infinite. If say, a frequency cutoff of the Planck energy is invoked in order to make
this vacuum energy density finite, Lorentz invariance or Lorentz symmetry breaks down as we
approach Planck energies, times, wavelengths, etc.

If a probability is defined by knowledge or information concerning the abstract (closed) system,
i.e., the sum of probabilities/possible states open to the system combined with a mixture of
mutually complementing information and ignorance concerning the systems actual state,
implying that we both know what we know and know what we dont know about the system
(because we dont know the state of the system though we possess a complete knowledge of the
system itself), then our uncertainty concerning the systems state is epistemological in nature.

On Materialism as Science Dogma by Neal Grossman, Dept. of Philosophy, Univ. of Illinois at
Chicago

To my knowledge, no one who has had an NDE feels any need for an explanation in the
reductionist sense that researchers are seeking, c.f., Almeder.

The paradigm of scientific progress as an ever closer approach to the thing in itself structured by an
evolving and dialectically progressing set of investigatory methodologies should be seen as
missing the point when it comes to understanding consciousness. For the thing in itself that
ones own consciousness is has already been fully grasped by its individual possessor. Any
further attempt to understand the nature of ones own consciousness as such would serve only to
obscure or confuse this already certain grasp by the individual of the true nature of his or her
consciousness.
@$
Consciousness is the essential faculty by which the transcendent comes to
knowledge of the other.

The discovery of the existence of beings unarguably superior to humankind would remove from
the conscience of many the hubris that subconsciously prevents acceptance of or even considering
the possibility of the reality of a supreme or transcendent being.

Such beings would possess knowledge and an understanding of reality, which would cause us to
realize a number of important limitations of our own knowledge and understanding. It would
become clear to us that mankind is to be placed within the context of a web of being, one of
multiple dimensions rather than our being placed within a single, hierarchical chain, as originally
conceived by medieval Christian mystics or, at the very pinnacle of this chain as presumed by most
right-thinking atheists. For the superior and perhaps, as well, in part incommensurable mental
and perceptual capacities of these beings would be expected to afford them greater advantages and
opportunities than humankind presently possesses of detecting and developing relationships with
beings still more and similarly superior to them as they stand in relation to us. The knowledge of
these beings would subsume our most exact scientific knowledge as a crudely unified collection of
elementary special cases (physics and chemistry) and reveal our less scientifically rigorous
theories to be merely curious and quaint expressions of folk wisdom, e.g., evolutionary biology,
anthropology, neuropsychiatry, etc. These beings would recognize such superiority of their
knowledge to ours just as they would surely recognize the inferiority of their knowledge in relation
to that of beings superior to them with which they have intercourse.

Hawking stated a mathematical relationship between black hole mass and its time to evaporate
as Hawking radiation. If the black hole information paradox is indeed soluble, then presumably,
initially just after formation of the black holes event horizon, all of the information that we at first
supposed swallowed up by the hole is in fact occupying its event horizon in the form of vacuum
fluctuations on the surface defined by this horizon. As the mass of the black hole is radiated
away, seemingly as thermal radiation composed of entirely uncorrelated modes of electromagnetic
radiation of wavelength
Planck
through
Schwarzchild
, its surface area, which is proportional to the
black hole entropy and also to the square root of the black holes mass, shrinks.

This suggests that there is a direct relationship between the inertial mass and information content
of the black hole such that the sum total of vacuum fluctuations on the surface or event horizon of
the black hole possesses a mass identical to that of the black hole or the original 3d configuration
of particles and fields which originally collapsed to form it.

It is as though the
communication of matter and field shifts from taking place across a 3-hyperspherical boundary
(i.e., timelike) to taking place across the boundary posed by the surface of a 2-sphere (spacelike).
Since all timelike interactions occur across a 3-hypersurface in the form of energy fluctuations
(imaginary 4-momentum fluctuations), while all spacelike interactions occur across a 2-surface in
the form of 3-momentum fluctuations, and a continuity equation (and hence a conservation
principle) governs the relative proportions of these two type of fluctuations, it follows that a
complete occupation of all available fermionic states within a 3-dimensional bulk volume means
that all transitions of energy are pushed to the outer surface of the bulk, where radial 3-momentum
transitions are now supported exclusively in terms of two degrees of freedom of angular
3-momentum transitions.

Feynman says that only purely abstract theories of natures behavior are confirmed by experiment;
theories which are based upon some visualizable or mechanical model (locality metaphysically
assumed) always eventually fail when their predictions are compared with the results of
experiment.

Excommunication by scientific orthodoxy is to be expected by anyone who departs from the
metaphysical presumption of materialism.

The first recorded NDE is described at the end of Book 10 of Platos Republic.

Transcendent beliefs by definition pertain to a reality beyond space and time and so are beyond
empirical test.

Uncertainty = thinking outside of any paradigm

Gdels Incompleteness Theorem, which asserts the fact of Truths being a stronger notion than
Provability, may have something significant to say about the existence of such irrational entities as
pi, , e, etc. This is due to the fact that these mathematical entities can be constructed
through a procedure but cannot presently (and it may turn out to be theoretically impossible to be)
expressed in a closed-form analysis. Does this suggest that the set of analytically expressible
mathematical entities is a subset of the set of mathematical logical procedures? But if this is
true, then a possible self-consistent interpretation of this fact is just the converse of this most
general implication of Gdels theorem: constructibility is a stronger notion than mathematical
existence. This is paradoxical provided that constructibility is identified with provability
and mathematical existence identified with truth. Do irrational entities like the above not
really exist at all, nor subsist in some mathematical Platonic realm/ idealm, but are merely
implied by infinite mathematical procedures?

Back-formation of forms and incompleteness of abstract structures is related to the notion of the
dialectical nature of evolution. The prediction of new fundamental particles by subatomic
physical theories is an example of this back-formation or backfilling of empirically empty
theoretical categories. This points up the effective relatedness of truth by correspondence with
truth by coherence and the interactive nature of scientific inquiry.


Die Diagonal Schaltung ist ein rein mathematisches program. Wirklich? The mysteriousness of
irrational numbers is compounded when one considers that
@$
the product of some irrational
numbers is itself rational, the product of others, irrational. This seems vaguely similar to the
distinction of positive and negative numbers, even and odd numbers, real and imaginary numbers,
etc. The irrational numbers do not constitute a mathematical group, though the set of irrational
numbers may contain any number of subsets, which are mathematical groups. The
mysteriousness of the product of two irrational numbers being equal to a rational whole number
may turn out to be an artificiality borne of an illusion of mathematical abstraction as overreaching
extrapolation.

There must be an intimate relationship between wavefunction normalizability and the structuring
of time scales. Scaling of time in quantum and thermodynamic processes is also importantly
connected with quantum nonlocal mechanisms of temporal integration. The weighting of
component eigenfunctions of a given (r,t) is governed by quantum correlations of the
eigenfunctions, or at least (or equivalently) governed by correlation of fluctuations in the
(expectations values of) the corresponding observables. The normalization and expectation
value behavior of a wavefunction are closely and importantly related.

@$
Information does not arise from reversible processes because in such processes no entropy is
generated.

One fundamental problem with either the formulation or interpretation of the 2
nd
Law of
Thermodynamics is that this law only applies to closed systems on the one hand, though the same
systems must be coupled on the other, with a heat bath. Because this heat bath is understood to
be essentially a blackbody, it is supposed that no information is exchanged between the heat bath
and the thermodynamic system to which it is coupled. But this is based on beforehand stated
assumption that the heat capacity of the heat bath is effectively infinite so that this heat bath does
not experience a change in its temperature though coupled to bodies or systems of different
temperatures.
April 2011
The infinite information processing context provided by the infinite heat
bath belies this notion of maximal entropy/minimal information content of the heat bath as
thermodynamic black body.

Initial conditions cannot determine the dynamical laws constrained by these initial conditions, c.f.,
forcing function vs. boundary conditions of a partial differential equation.

To possess truth, both complementary of truth must be satisfied, i.e., those of correspondence and
coherence. One candidate feature or property of any mind possessing truth is that it, or some
subset of its contents, be a holographic expression of the whole. Correspondence of subjective
contents with objective reality presumably is only possible if these mental contents are coherent
enough in the right manner so that these contents may resonate with the whole of which these
contents are to be a holographic expression.

@$
The information content of a given course of action, choice or decision is related to the natural
logarithm of the number of distinct, genuinely possible alternatives were available to a person
prior to his choice being made. The choice doesnt have to be random, just nonlocally
determined.

Thermal fluctuations (ideally of 0 information content) and energy uncertainty are responsible for,
respectively locally and nonlocally determined random changes to molecules such as DNA. The
thermal energy drives the filtering of information based on the stability of the subsistence of this
information in its material medium.

Context and continuity (temporal content) must accompany the handing down of information from
one system to another.
@$
Information cannot be transmitted without being continuously
recontextualized.

That we dont know what we dont know implies that we dont know what we know, that is, when
wrong, we dont know how wrong, and when right, we know not how right.

A person without free will bears no moral responsibility for antisocial acts, but at the same time
neither does he deserve any more consideration then a defective appliance such as a
servo-mechanism, robot or computer. And so punishment is just reprogramming, execution,
disposing of a fatally defective manufacturing product (of unskilled labor so goes the old joke).
So a person lacking free will possesses no culpability, but nor does he possess any moral claims,
such as that of consideration of the intrinsic importance of his existence to himself or to some
higher moral order.

Nothing outside the system is available with which to collapse the systems wavefunction in the
case of a closed system. Now if the mere fact of the quantum system being embedded within the
quantum vacuum can render processes within the system irreversible, then presumably a quantum
mechanical system that is otherwise undisturbed say, by a measurement performed on the system,
may experience a collapse of its wavefunction spontaneously, c.f., the phenomenon of
spontaneous emission.

Because the process of motion is described in terms of interference of wave functions belonging
to different energies, we conclude that changing probabilities will exist only when there is a range
of energies present or, in other words, when the energy is made somewhat indefinite, c.f.,
Quantum Theory. In this way, the uncertainty principle between energy and time is
automatically contained in the theory. A similar result was obtained in Chap. 3, Secs. 4 and
13, where it was shown that the motion of wave packets is caused by the change of position of
constructive and destructive interference of waves of different k, brought about by the changing
phase relations introduced by the time-dependent phase factor exp(-ihk
1
t/2m). Thus, the
Hamiltonian operator may be said to contain the causal laws, insofar as they have meaning.

The speed of transmission of a signal through a dielectric is given by the group velocity, as is also
the speed of transport of energy. Only if f is proportional to k is the group velocity proportional
to the phase velocity, c.f., Quantum Theory, p. 65.

The speed of a Gaussian wavepacket representing a physical particle is given by the group velocity
(/k) = v
g
, c.f., Quantum Theory, p. 64. Now recall that

E = hf and p = hk so the above equation for the group
velocity of a Gaussian wavepacket may be alternately expressed as

v
g
= (E/p)

and since changes in energy depend upon the availability of /\E and changes in momentum upon
availability of /\p, it perhaps follows that

v
g
= (/\E//\p)

The Gaussian wavefunction is the most general function for which the equal sign holds in the
uncertainty principle, c.f., Quantum Theory, p. 207.

Investigate Thomas Precession.
March 2012
It is shown that due to Thomas precession, angular
momentum is not generally a constant of themotion in a quasiclassical model of the Positronium
atom consisting of circular-orbiting point chargeswith intrinsic spin and associated magnetic
moment. Despite absence of externally-applied torque,angular momentum is a constant of the
motion only if the electron and positron intrinsic angularmomentum vector components
perpendicular to the orbital angular momentum are antiparallel and of equal magnitude.

The average fluctuation is the square of the quantum uncertainty.

C.f., Fourier Series and Orthogonal Functions, section 3.11, Practical Remarks: one commonly
quoted theorem, called the localization theorem, states that the behavior of a Fourier series at a
point depends only on the behavior of the function in a neighborhood of the point. In numerical
work, the rate at which a series converges is an important aspect of its behavior, and the rapidity
with which a Fourier series converges at a point does not depend on the behavior of the function in
a small neighborhood. In general, the smoother a function is, the more rapidly its Fourier
components tend to zero.

Setting aside for the moment an advanced wave interpretation of the Fourier analysis of a time
function, in which the contingent low frequency behavior in the future is not included in the
analysis, let us suppose that the shape of each Fourier component is symmetrical about the time
t=t
0
. A change in the system over time intervals of /\t or shorter is not thought to necessitate a
revision in the past behavior of the Fourier components of our analysis of a given time function of
a physically observable variable.
@$
There seems to be an intimate relationship between the
magnitude of the time uncertainty and the rapidity of convergence of a Fourier expansion of a
physical time function which must always be great enough in order that imperfect convergence
of the series within /\t is not observable. Actually, this may indeed be thought to be the essence
of the definition of adequate convergence of Fourier series expansions of physical time functions.

c.f., Outline of an Anarchistic Theory of Knowledge, p. 1,Science is an essentially anarchistic

brittleness to the edifice of the paradigms systematic application which reveals inconsistencies
not noticed in an environment of a more free-wheeling scientific methodology. C.f., p.4, Given
science, reason cannot be universal and unreason cannot be excluded. Related to the idea that
true temporality demands indeterminate change/energy uncertainty with /\E containing all those

C.f., page 6, and they speak against the universal validity of any rule. All methodologies have
their limitations and the only rule that survives is anything goes. There is no way to perfectly
separate noise from signal; noise may be thought of as a summation of signals and signals as a
superposition of noises (and vice versa). This reminds us of Bohms statement in Quantum
Theory that all causal relationships may be decomposed as correlations between fluctuations,
which is perhaps a clearer assertion of the dependence of quantum propagators upon Heisenberg
uncertainties in the quantum conjugate variables representing conserved quantities. The
Heisenberg uncertainties determine the, phase, particle number, time and space distributions of
quantum systems over the conjugate coordinates to these conserved quantities within phase space.
All restrictions due to adherence to a rule carry with them limitations in validity of application.
Conservation of phase space as a phenomenological rule emerges from an analysis of the
generalized quantum propagator. By assuming that the mode field amplitude and its time
derivative are operators with commutation rules similar to those of position and momentum,
[italics mine] the mode also acquires an evenly spaced set of energy levels, c.f., The Origins of
Quantum Noise in Photonics (IEEE December 1997)

But restrictions are necessary for human science to facilitate calculation by the left hemisphere and
facilitate recognition by the right hemisphere of data that do not fit within the domain defined by a
set of rules.

In Der Sterbenden Sonne, after the Stardust II makes a 1600 light year hyperspace transition, the
narrator of the story comments that it would be 1600 years before the crew would see the flaring up
of the pre-nova Vega. This is consistent with an earlier statement of the narrator that the Stardusts
Hyperspring was effected without any passage of time. Of course, a powerful enough telescope
stationed within the Vega system would see the Stardust appear 1600 light-years away only a
moment after making its hyperspace transmission. So how does the Stardust return? Does is
make another hyperspring in zero time? If it does so, then it ends up in the Vega system 3200
years before it originally left it. This is clearly contrary to causal consistency and could easily
lead to a causal paradox. So to return not only to its own spatial position but also to its own time,

Of course, talking about an unglimpsed universe just one millimeter away from ours iff in some
spacetime orthogonal direction is within quantum mechanics just the same as saying that theres
another such universe just out of phase (off resonance) from our universe, except here we speak of
energy instead of the spacetime orthogonal dimension. This might be considered to be like
supposing that theres another universe moving slightly slower than ours up the time axis (of a
different resonance peak (potential trough) than our universe). Perhaps a Lorentz boost could
bring a space traveler into resonance (couple him) to another vacuum or another energy level of the
universal (or multiversal) false vacuum state, c.f., seminal works on quantized cosmological
redshift.

We dont have to give up any of the fascinating counterintuitive effects of special and general

Culture is an epigenetic phenomenon from the standpoint of behavioral genetics. Man acquires
freedom by removing the obstacles to the fulfillment of his instinctive wishes that were not of his
own choosing. However, the intrinsic freedom lies with the unlimited possibilities for the
elaboration of the expression of these instinctive desires as these desires are by their nature
indeterminate in form inherited as they are from the very simplest multicellular creatures, while
the neocortex is possessed of such a densely complicated network of nervous connections not
merely between its functional components but between these and the quantum fields in which all
matter is embedded at the molecular level and below.

Is deceleration endothermic or exothermic? Whatever vacuum process is responsible for
relativistic mass increase may perhaps be manipulated to convert energy into mass at

Thaumaturgy what does this term mean?

What happens to the 2
nd
Law of Thermodynamics, i.e., the universal law of entropy increase; all
blackbody radiation retains an imprint of quantum correlations (due to the fact of continual
interaction of all quantum systems with the matrix of fluctuations (of quantum vacuum) in which
they are embedded)? The ineradicable and constant presence of these quantum fluctuations
results in the general inapplicability of the 2
nd
Law to quantum systems. It is in the nature of
quantum systems to exhibit subatomic features and relationships on macroscopic scales. It is of
the intended design of the science of thermal physics to deal with (1) closed systems and (2)
systems in which the influence of individual fluctuations can be ignored at the macroscopic level
because of the presumed absence of nonlocal correlations existing among microscopic
fluctuations.

Creativity is the impression of terms upon the indeterminism of the immanent from outside what is

The degeneracy that enables the stability of evolved structures is a graciously heretofore-extant
infrastructure. A structure is precarious/unstable to the same degree as mere contingency rather
than logic is responsible for this structure. Grace seems unnecessary when one believes that the
components of matter are indifferent to the passage of time.

The network of intrinsic relationships has to be disrupted in order for the logical structure of this
network to be exhibited. Whatever vagueness or ambiguity might be needed in order to give
coherence to the association network is utilized by the psyche. Within such a network of
associations the self is of course placed at the center, disconfirming evidence with respect to
prejudices and longstanding assumptions is suppressed from consciousness. This is part of the
reason why the unconscious is so irrational it is the underside of the tapestry, as it were, where all
of the breaks in logic in the form of loose dangling threads are to be found along with all that the
conscious psyche has swept under it which it had found disagreeable and unpleasant.

Every parochial minded person, whom we here in the South term redneck fancies himself
extraordinarily intelligent despite his relative lack of formal education (i.e., book learnin).

But of course it is only the educational experience which can bring one into knowing contact with
those of visibly superior knowledge and intelligence.

One must face up to one of two possible alternatives: either the potentialities are preprogrammed
permutation and combination of initial and boundary conditions or genuine creativity underlies the
evolutionary process.

To admit evolutionary theory while maintaining that humanity is the only intelligent life in the
universe seems to imply that chance is by far the dominant actor in the evolutionary process.
Chance explains the timing of the enabling of boundary conditions to the creative process of
evolution but not the dynamic itself of the evolutionary process.

Consciousness when fragmented is intrinsically irrational and possesses formal features not shared
by any other individual consciousness the same holds true between distinct individual
consciousnesses.

Could the Pauli exclusion principle account for the relationship of black hole mass and radius, i.e.,
density?

For example, a black hole of mass 2M possesses a density just that of a black hole of mass M.


The relativistic effects on length, mass and time are presumed by many classical relativists to be
explicable in terms of kinematics or even via an axiomatic formulation of relativity. But
clearly the origin of these effects is dynamical in nature, /\p is the spatial translator and /\E is the
temporal translator. The properties of position and time are much more complex and specific to
particular classes of particles and fields.

Because consciousness as a medium of thought is not perfectly translucent and passive and so the
presumable uniqueness of the individual consciousness requires that certain thoughts and
perceptions may most easily be entertained within a particular individual consciousness.

Perhaps the relationships of Hawking radiation-temperature to gravitational intensity-entropy to
surface area bear an important relation to the mystery of black hole density within quantum gravity
theory as well as upon the puzzle of the relationship of Planck to cosmological vacuum energy
density.

Note that the product of black hole surface area and density is conserved, i.e., a constant. But
what exactly is this quantity?

Doubling the hole radius results in a halving of the holes entropy density or conversely a doubling
of the holes information density.

Thus the mass of a black hole is proportional to the holes information density.

Thus the mass of a black hole is proportional to the holes information density.

If bandwidth is supplied to matter through nonlocal connection network of Planck
hypercylindrical conduits (for exchange of information with the cosmic CPU), the proportionality
of inertia to information density is reasonable. This is one reason for associating the mass of a
black hole with the energy fluctuations on the holes event horizon.

If consciousness could be duplicated, then there would be no basis for the distinction of individual
persons.

The origin of mathematical notions not corresponding to anything in nature is nonetheless that to
which they correspond.

Because the velocity of light is foundational to the definition of space time, it perhaps follows that
gravitys effect upon space time might be wholly explicable in terms of a mechanism, explaining
how real matter and energy cause the velocity of light to vary.

If the velocity of light is viewed as a mere expectation value, then over the tiniest scales of distance
and time, this velocity must actually be determined by the relative magnitudes of the fluctuations
within the vacuum of physical quantities of a still more fundamental nature,

If we interpret the fluctuations of P and E in the vacuum as linked together (just as space and time

E as the uncertainty of E due to fluctuations in P.

A ball whirling on a string when released moves of with a momentum directed at a tangent to its

the conversion of angles into linear momentum, we might suppose that an angular momentum that
could be translated into linear momentum directed along any axis within 3-dimensional space (of a
certain inertial frame) must itself be directed along an axis [orthogonal to x, y, z within this certain

A merely casual survey of the physics theory websites reveals that there is no limit to the number
of analog models people have selected as a basis for explaining gravitational phenomena. The
understanding of each amateur theorist is bewitched by his or her particular chosen analog. What is
interesting is observing the lengths to which these amateur theorists will go to resolve the
contradictions that result from a too encompassing application of the pet theory.

Structure is extracted from out of the degeneracy of concepts that have already proven themselves
as consistent models of some of the features of the problem. This extracted structure is applied to
the consistent description of a bodys subtler features. The presumed limits of this theorys
reference is itself a theoretical assumption. As well, the explication of features of, for example
the physics occurring outside the assumed domain of a theorys reference the very notion of
outside vs. inside a theoretical domain of reference must also involve a theoretical or
metamathematical assumption.

This process is exactly analogous to that of the defining of subgroups (as group-theoretic entities)
and supergroups with respect to some assumed or already well-established group.

The unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics within the physical sciences stems from the
contingent fact that a group theoretic structure not ever after be discarded, only elaborated (interior
processes explicated) or incorporated (related to exterior processes).

The spin-based quantum vacuum mechanism of gravity proposed here may only be consistent with
the equivalence principle provided that the two fundamental quantum statistical relationships,
fermi-dirac and bose-einstein statistics, operated without distinguishing real from virtual particles
and in tandem with each other so as to enforce, if you will, all valid physical conservation laws,
e.g., momentum, angular momentum, isospin, charge, etc.

Diagram spacetime with null cone axis.

360 degree rotation of fermion procedures sign change to Psi. Another 360 degrees rotation

180 degree rotation in a projective space may correspond to a 360 degree rotation in a higher
space, e.g., rotation of an axial vector within a plane that itself rotates at the same rate orthogonally
to the plane of axial vector rotation.

Notice that in this type of projective rotation the tip of the axial vector has traced a of a right
circular cone within an octant bounded by the x-y, y-z, z-x planes.

Permutations of composite rotations must be examined to enhance intuition about how to treat this
problem within Minkowski spacetime.

Riemann Sphere projected onto a plane gives the right result in 2-d space.

Rotation in angular momentum space spin 1 rotates like angular momentum of 1 Planck unit.

Space quantization is another name for conserved angular momentum in quantum mechanics.

So rotating the atom by only one quantized unit of phase (or angular displacement) changes the
orientation of the atom by only Planck units of angular momentum.

Remnant is always of the form of a maximally entropic matrix of planck cells covering event

As a black hole emits Hawking radiation, the holes surface area and hence entropy shrinks. The
black hole information paradox from the other side, if you will, is the flow of information out of an
evaporating black hole via emission of a precisely thermal or black body spectrum of Hawking
radiation. The remnant in the form of the event horizon correlates fluctuation matrix contains
this information. The black holes enormous entropy easily masks the correlations of the photons
hidden within an otherwise thermal radiation spectrum emitted from the evaporating black hole.

Each black hole mass corresponds to its own energy density. Hence, the density of thermal
quantum fluctuations at the event horizon of a black hole of a certain mass is uniquely determined.
Each black hole mass has a unique entropy and temperature. The integral of all modes of thermal
fluctuation, say from wavelength ~Rs to k

must add up to the black hole mass.

Various Fourier sums over subsets of the weighted harmonics running from Rs to k

yield the
information for explicit structure crushed out of explicit existence by the black holes collapse.
The weightings of the frequency components of these Fourier sums are coded in the phase
correlations of the perspective frequencies constituting these Fourier sums.

Planck cell matrix covering the black hole event horizon maximizes the entropy of the hole.
Correlations between the cutoff frequency modes (Planck modes) permit building of spectrum of

weighting) with a particular subharmonic spectrum corresponding to some objective features of
the pre-collapse system is automatically implicit in the quantum correlations of the cutoff modes.

If we interpret the fluctuations of p and E in the vacuum as linked together (just as space and time

fluctuations in their conjugate (nonconserved) parameters, displacement and time, then perhaps
we can interpret /\p as the uncertainty in p due to fluctuations in E and /\E as the uncertainty in
E due to fluctuations in p. In the case of the local velocity of light induced to become less
than its free space magnitude, a larger density of momentum fluctuations is required to produce a
smaller density of energy fluctuations.

Society and genetics conspire to pull on us a kind o Jedi mind trick whereby we become virally

It is not possible to consistently define 4-angular momentum utilizing only 4 dimensional vector
calculus. 4-angular momentum cannot be defined without use of a metric tensor and angular
momentum tensor. Moreover, transformations of 4-angular momentum between different
Lorentz frames (requiring virtual accelerations) requires a more general metric tensor than that of
Minkowski spacetime.

With many related projects we can seem to span a space of either expertise or wisdom and in so

If spacetime is an artifact of the quantum vacuum stress-momentum-energy then different possible
spacetimes must subsist within their own respective vacua. This is similar to the idea of gravity
being diluted within higher dimensions. So the density of any given vacuum is determined by
the black hole density. The number of distinct vacua is related to the 10

the magnitudes of the cosmological constant and Planck energy density.

Discussion.

Lorenz invariance of the vacuum momentum-energy, its dynamical aspect vs. the merely
kinematical nature of spacetime, suggests that there actually is a vacuum mechanism for general
relativistic effects.

Vacuum energy density vs. mass energy density cosmological coincidence can be explained by the
way matter induces mass in the quantum vacuum.

Viewing a black hole as an endpoint on a spectrum allows one to think about less extreme effects
of ordinary gravitational fields in new ways. For example, ordinary masses should also exhibit
Hawking radiographers, cause the quantum vacuum to possess both a temperature and hence an
entropy and moreover spatiotemporal variations in gravitational potential should be associated
with spatiotemporal gradients in vacuum energy density, pressure, temperature and entropy.

The bi-vacuum may be divided into its two components, energy available to do work and purely
entropic energy.

Onion model of a black holes structure is defined as the density of a black hole increasing

As the mass gravitationally collapses, the quantum states of its embedding vacuum are filling up
with advance of the local time variable. Once an event horizon forms, when the embedding
vacuum of the outside spacetime has all of its fermionic quantum states occupied, the collapse
continues though not with passage of time, i.e., with interactivity of the collapsing mass with its
external spin 0 field of virtual Cooper pair fluctuations. Rather, this collapse continues from the
event horizon to the holes singularity, i.e., spatially. After all, local spacetime has, upon
reaching (occurrence of) the event horizon, succeeded in rotating 90 degrees so that the local time
axis of the holes spacetime is not directed along the radial lines connecting the event horizon of
the hole to its singularity.

If the black hole density were really constant and uniform, i.e., 3c
2
/8GR
2
rather than functionally
varying with r, i.e., 3c
2
/8Gr
2
, then the gravitational field strength inside the hole decreases
inversely with radial distance. Gravitational field intensity at the event horizon of a black hole
increases inversely with black hole radius. Clearly a uniform black hole density does not allow
the holes trapped surface to extend inside the hole. So inside the black hole time is no longer
stopped but possesses a rate of flow, as it were, that increases inversely as the singularity of the
hole is approached from inside. Upon the singularity being reached, the rate of temporal flow is
once again in step with the rate at which time passes infinitely far from the hole.






Inside the black holes event horizon, there should be a mirroring of the gravitational gradient,
which exists outside the hole. Otherwise, under the total collapse model, the black hole must

Light Velocity Casimir (LVC) experiment, c.f., lanl.gov search 1998-2002, proposed anticipates
an increase in the velocity of light perpendicular to the Casimir plates.

Momentum fluctuations (virtual photon exchanges) are reduced in the direction of the photons
motion, meaning that the energy fluctuations are correspondingly increased however, this increase
is directional in just the manner that the decrease in photon creation/annihilation density is
directed.

This implies that the energy fluctuations of the vacuum may be partitioned in correspondence with
x, y, z and ict-momentum fluctuations. 3-momentum fluctuations that are suppressed in the
Casimir light velocity experiments result in enhanced energy of the ict-momentum fluctuations.
And so we expect the reverse of this to be true if fluctuation momentum-energy is conserved.

It is thought that the temperature of the Hawking radiation increases with the intensity of the event
horizon surface gravity due to corresponding increases in gravitational tidal forces (which vary
with 1/R
3
). With the increased density of real fermionic matter comes an increased spectral and
occupational density of bosonic fluctuations. These bosonic fluctuations correspond to
internally or coherently generated energy fluctuations of the real fermions composing the body in
question, which by the Pauli principle excludes external resonantly generated energy fluctuations.

If it is true that eigenstates are fictional idealizations (due to the fact that vacuum fluctuations
cannot be screened only transformed in terms of changes in the weighting of momentum-energy
fluctuation and momentum-energy uncertainty components, (c.f., eigen-uncertainty of my
earlier writings), then the democratic nature of the Pauli principle vis a vis real vs. virtual may be
explained as Pauli Exclusion of energy fluctuations. Similarly for the democracy of the Bose
principle vis a vis momentum fluctuations.

The strong and weak equivalence principles are related via the analogy: mass is to gravity what
inertia is to acceleration.

From Wigners Spins, Feynmans Partons, and Their Common Ground by Y. S. Kim,
arXiv:quant-ph/0205018v1 4 May 2002, The connection between spin and symmetry was
established by Wigner in his 1939 paper on the Poincare group.

Matter breaks spacetime symmetry through a connection between the spin density/spin currents of
real and virtual particles. Pure electric field as due to Lorenz force of a 4-dimensional magnetic
current > problem here is two particles occupy the same hypersurface and so do not see each
other as currents. However, both particles appear as currents to a conscious observer whose
consciousness is moving at near the speed of light relative to the hypersurface in which the electric
charges are embedded. The advantage of interpreting the electric field as a magnetic field
associated with a pure imaginary 4-dimensional electric charge current is that the long standing
argument is weakened in favor of magnetic monopoles as enhancing the symmetry of the Maxwell
equations. Instead of electromagnetic symmetry seeming to require both static electric and
magnetic charges (as field sources and sinks), this symmetry is satisfied by four dimensional
electric charge currents and the four dimensional magnetic fields induced by these 4-currents. In
this picture the only electromagnetic interactions are those of four-dimensional magnetic currents
interacting via the Lorenz force. Interpreting the static electric field interaction of two electric
charges, at rest within the same inertial frame, as a Lorenz force interaction such as that between a
static charge and an electric current clearly reveals that the magnetic monopole hypothesis is
unnecessary from the standpoint of electromagnetic symmetry. All that is needed to account the
electromagnetic forces acting between electric charges and currents is a generalized (or simply
more broadly interpreted) Lorenz force, one which acts within the four dimensions of spacetime
rather than simply within a three dimensional hypersurface or foliation of the spacetime manifold.
This interpretation of the electromagnetic interaction seems carry the assumption of absolute
motion on the part of both the electric charges and a conscious observer. The supposedly purely
relative motion of two charges is interpreted now as the absolute motion of the charges relative to
the absolute motion of an observer.

The Lorenz force law is the following:

F = q{E(r,t) + [dr(t)/dt x B(r,t)]}

What happens to the above equation if we make r(t) a spacetime interval and treat B as a four
dimensional magnetic field containing a component which functions identically to E(r,t)? The
four dimensional version of the Lorenz force law now takes the form:

F = J(x,y,z,t) x F
uv


Where F
uv
is the four dimensional electromagnetic tensor. So perhaps the Maxwell equations
only seem to require the existence of the magnetic monopole when these equations are expressed
in a form that is not fully relativistically invariant.

The connection between the macroscopic and the submicroscopic, that is between for example,
spin and the imaginary component of angular momentum as well as between X and imaginary
momentum, lies with some mechanism by which these imaginary and hence timelike components
of these conserved quantities are converted to the spacelike bulk real angular and linear momenta
supported by spacelike quantized 3-angular and 3-linear momentum fluctuations.

There may be two formally distinct but intimately interrelated mechanism of gravitation and
inertia, one operating at a cosmological and the other at a subatomic scale of spacetime. Spin
0 only means that the spin about any spatial axis is null. The proper spacetime interpretation of
spin 0 is spin 1 and spin 1 about the time axis. Here spin +1 is composite spin +1/2 with spin
+1/2 and spin 1 is composite spin 1/2 with spin 1/2. Due to broken spacetime symmetry,
there is a net spin +1 vacuum energy density (clockwise about the time axis). So the Universe
must possess a net rotation about the time axis. We must remember that the cosmological time
axis is everywhere orthogonal to the cosmological continuum of superposed cosmological
3-hypersurfaces. We say superposed cosmological 3-hypersurfaces here because we want a
built-in quantum infrastructure operating at the beginning of time, which is available to support the
multi-history temporal evolution of cosmological expansion. Just as the time-rate-of-change in
spacelike linear 4-momenta are derived from the timelike linear 4-momenta, so too must spacelike
angular momenta derive from timelike 4-angular momenta.

For a four dimensional charge current to interact with the spacetime cylindrical magnetic field so
as to produce an instantaneous inverse square force upon the charge of the electrical 4-current,
which is directed toward the center of this magnetic field, this cylindrical field must lie within its
own Zeitebene. The electrical charges must pass through this Zeitebene at the local velocity of
light in order for a Lorenz force to act between these two charges.

Since the metric is operationally defined in terms of paths of light through spacetime

The photon is only massless given that a precise balance exists in the quantum vacuum through
which the photon travels between 3-momentum fluctuations and energy fluctuations (pure
imaginary 4-momentum fluctuations). Fluctuations in spacelike vacuum 3-momentum coupled
to the vacuum timelike energy fluctuations underlie all photon motion. The photon takes on a
kind of mass, however when travelling down a gravitational potential. This increase in photon
mass is reflected in the decrease with increasing gravitational potential of the ratio of /\E to /\p
x

where x defines the present direction of photon motion. An alternative statement of this is the
photon experiences a decrease in frequency relative to wavelength as it propagates down the
potential, now understood as a fluctuation momentum-energy density gradient, in which the sign
of the energy density gradient is opposite that of the momentum density gradient. The greater
photon wavelength means that the photon must wait longer between events of the photon being
absorbed and emitted by the quantum vacuum. In the example of a crystal lattice, the absorption
and emission of a photon within the crystal corresponds to the excitation and deexcitation of the
crystal lattice, respectiv-ely, by two inputs, one of real energy (excitation), the other virtual
(deexcitation). The source of the excitation of the crystal is the real photon in its previous
oscillation. The deexcitation of the crystal must somehow come from the absorption by the
crystal of virtual energy of spin 1. The creation and annihilation of virtual fermion-antifermion
pairs is either associated with the emission and absorption of a virtual photon, respectively or
(setting aside for the moment the question of the vacuum mechanism of real photon propagation)
conversely. Which interpretation we choose depends upon whether the crystal lattice is separate
from and interacts with the quantum vacuum or itself models this quantum vacuum. Another
possibility is that the vacuum in its spontaneity is constrained by the vacuum as crystalline network
of harmonic oscillators.

The Pauli principle applies only to identical and quantum indistinguishable particles. An
important question for bi-vacuum theory is whether quantum mechanics treats particles and their
respective antiparticles as distinguishable.

The Heisenberg uncertainties in conserved quantities, i.e., physical quantities possessing a
quantized field are of course, mediated by the quantum statistics of the vacuum state. For
example, /\E(x,y,z,t) at some spacetime coordinate would certainly be greater if Fermi-Dirac
statistics were relaxed within the spacetime region containing this point. Similarly, /\p(x,y,z,t)
would be smaller at the specified spacetime coordinate if Bose-Einstein statistics were relaxed
within the spacetime region containing this coordinate. The relaxing of quantum statistics
within a given region of the vacuum would engender a distinctly anti-gravitational effect.

A progressive transformation of /\E into /\p
r
where r is the direction along which the gravitational
potential along which the gravitational potential gradient, as well as the opposed /\E and /\p
r

gradients are maximal naturally involves a progressive rotation of a bodys 4-momentum in the
direction f an r-directed 3-momentum. One need only reflect here upon the direct relationship
between /\t for a physical process and the characteristic lifetime, relaxation time, decay time, etc.
or alternatively, the broadening (or more properly speaking shifting) of the frequency spectrum of
this quantal process in order to understand what is being asserted here about the relationship of /\E
to <E> and /\p to <p>.

If we attribute the fluctuations to the vacuum and the corresponding Heisenberg uncertainty to the
mass/particles, then we are permitted to define, e.g., <p
r
> in terms of p
r
and /\p
r
, where p
r
is
<p
2

<p
r

This also suggests a kind of bi-vacuum model of the quantum vacuum, c.f., crystalline harmonic
oscillator network model for either the quantum vacuum or its partner (vacuum-antivacuum, i.e.,
separation of vacuum into the matter-vacuum and the antimatter-vacuum).

The fluctuations or uncertainties may arise from the future or past, respectively (or vice versa) and
one of these may be thought to possess information, the other, entropy. In this way, the entropy
of mixing, for example, in which both gases possess both information (i.e., negentropy) and
entropy, and what changes in the relative proportions of each take place, is grounded in the
exchange of information and entropy between the mixing gases and the above described
bi-vacuum, c.f., myriad articles on
prn-
bi-vacuum theory at

Relative vs. absolute time may be alternatively treated in terms of futurity of a particle being
determined by its duration (spin 1) or its origin (spin 0).

Bi-vacuum may more consistently be understood in terms of elsewhere region vs. absolute time
(specifically, absolute past) region of the Minkowski light cone. The nave question is
frequently asked by amateur physicists, if space can be curved, then what or where is it curved
into? The simple answer to which is that spacetime is curved not within the elsewhere region,
but into this region. Causality exists within the elsewhere region, which is therefore a term
defined exclusively relative to a particular Minkowski light cone. Because the event horizon of a
black hole represents the absolute past and absolute future light cone hypersurfaces having
succeeded in coming into mutual contact, we say that the black holes Minkowski light cone has
become distorted so as to have squeezed out altogether the hypervolume within which the holes
pre-collapse elsewhere region was located. For this reason, we believe that the energy
uncertainty of a given quantum mechanical system originates wholly from within this elsewhere
region.



The precisely thermal or black-body emission spectrum of the event horizon represents the total
degeneration of the quantum vacuum signal (i.e., the elsewhere region of
vacuum-nonlocal-connectivity is broken off) and this spectrum originates entirely from the mutual
annihilation of future-directed matter with past-directed antimatter. Here the energy fluctuations
do not originate from particle and antiparticle arising together (and then promptly annihilating
with greatest probability together), but from the creation of a particle from the past and an
antiparticle from the future, propagating as it were from opposite temporal ends of the Universe.

Three degrees cosmic microwave background may be merely cosmologically redshifted Hawking
radiation in which the entropic and negentropic components of the bi-vacuum are split, entropic
component is radiated away from the event horizon to the black holes outside, while all
information, stemming entirely from the other component of this bi-vacuum, falls inside the hole.
Here the riddle of the dominance of matter over antimatter in the cosmos is readily solved. The
relationship of Hawking radiation temperature but especially, entropy) to the surface area of the
event horizon points up the Chinese box structure of the 1/R
2
energy density of black hole and
quantum vacuum.

Three four-dimensional coordinate system diagrams, two of which show distinct spacetime
4-vectors representing initial and final 4-momenta. In moving from the first to the second
diagram, there is effected a rotation of a mass 4-angular momentum away from spin 0 toward spin
1 angular momentum against which there reacts a gyroscopic resisting force.

The magnitude of velocity through spacetime does not change with acceleration, only the
spacetime velocity vector undergoes a spacetime rotation. Angular velocity of spacetime
rotation, v

, squared v

divided by the gravitational equivalent spacetime curvature, R = v
w

/R
= the magnitude of the acceleration vector.

Spacetime rotation symmetry is a phenomenological outcome of conservation of four dimensional
angular momentum. We identify spin 0 with angular momentum about the time axis and spin 1
with angular momentum about axes x, y, z. We make the assumption here (which must be
demonstrated later) that the spin is always about the direction of motion. So then when a mass
accelerates its total 4-angular momentum, L + S is directed more and more away from the time axis
of its original inertial reference frame and more toward (not parallel to, except in the case of
infinite acceleration) the instantaneous direction of acceleration. More likely it is that the spin 1
and spin 0 vectors incline more and more to one another. The object must see a changed vacuum
state as it accelerates, on possessing a relativity reduced density of spin 0 (energy) fluctuations.
The 3-momentum fluctuations are relatively increased only in the direction of increasing
3-momentum.

9-3-02 p.3 follows

@$
So the resistance of matter to impressed forces attempting to accelerate it stems from a
gyroscopic reaction force of the matter to attempts to alter the mass 4-angular momentum. In
other words, the resistance of matter to acceleration is bound up in the gyroscopic reaction force of
the matter to changing the timelike angular momentum of the mass into spacelike angular
momentum and vice versa. Such a transformation of 4-angular momentum must be described by
a 2

But on account of the dynamics of the interaction of spin +-1/2 and
spin 1 real particles with their virtual particle counterparts of like spin (through the two
fundamental quantum statistics principles, i.e., those of Fermi-Dirac and Bose-Einstein statistics),
that therefore the spin 2 field is purely phenomenological and so no actual quantization of the
gravitational field is required, which is to say that gravitons do not exist in nature as they are
superfluous. Gravity is induced and so is an effective field, a parasitic force, if you will.

We must look at the role of vacuum energy fluctuations belonging to alternate inertial frames and
how their mutual interaction affects the resistance of mass to change in the relative magnitude in
the mass 4-angular momentum components. These alternate inertial frames (vacua) belong to
the elsewhere region.
@$
Or they are mutually separated by more than a Planck mass discrete
interval of energy. Or the vacuum each observer observes is just that tiny sub-spectrum to which
his brain resonates. Or only those vacuum fluctuations that are mutually quantum correlated in
such a manner as to represent causal connectivity can rightly be considered to comprise a
cosmological constant or vacuum energy density. Or those fluctuations compositely comprising
a spin-2 field possess inertia. Or only those fermionic and bosonic fields that fail to precisely
mutually cancel produce the effect of mass. Or only those vacuum fields that are mutually
temporally integrated contribute to a cosmological constant.

It is puzzling that although our acceleration of a given mass does not alter either the 4-momentum
or 4-angular momentum of the mass, nonetheless energy is expended in the process. How can
energy be imparted to a mass without changing the 4-momentum (and 4-angular momentum) of
this mass? That is, how is it that, mv
init
= mv

? Well, relativity tells us that mv
init
= m(ic) and
mv

= mv

our momentum equation and (20 v under the radical on the right hand side of the momentum
equation is not equal to either v

or v

.

The relativistic increase in the mass of accelerating objects, i.e., the relativistic transformation of
energy into mass of accelerating objects is accounted for by the transference of the momenta of
internal degrees of freedom to the newly generated momenta associated with external degrees of
freedom.

Keplers 2
nd
Law tells us that a body moving in an elliptical orbit (about some other body) sweeps
out equal areas in equal times. However, the general relativistic contraction of space and
dilation of time turns Keplers 2
nd
Law into a complex relativistic equation. The perihelion
precession predicted by general relativity is consistent with Keplers 2
nd
Law only if one takes
curvature of space and gravitational time dilation properly into account. In other words, the
perihelion of the planet Mercurys orbit precesses in the direction of the planets motion about the
Sun because the planet must take a slightly greater amount of time to sweep out an area that is
not flat (as appears to the Earthbound observer/because the true area swept out by the planet is in
reality a 3-hypersurface within four-dimensional spacetime. Of course the angular momentum
in Keplers 2
nd
Law (equal areas swept out in equal times) must now be interpreted as 4-angular
momentum in order to maintain the consistency of Keplers 2
nd
Law within the context of general
relativity.

In Keplers 2
nd
Law, the 3-angular momentum vector is orthogonal to the surface being swept
out by the planets orbit. If the planets orbital plane is defined to be contained within, say, the
x-y plane, then the planets 3-angular momentum vector lies along the z-axis. The surface area
of the planetary ellipse is of course a 2-surface within 3 spatial dimensions. In Galilean
spacetime, the t-coordinate plays no role in describing the geometry of the planetary orbit.
Within the context of curved spacetime, however, the plane of the planetary ellipse must be a
2-hypersurface within a subspace of spacetime spanned by the spacetime components of x, y, and
ict. In this example, the z-component plays no role in describing the planetary orbit.
The instantaneous angular momentum of the orbiting planet must be described by a vector
containing an angular momentum component along the local ict axis. The magnitude of this
ict-component of the planets 4-angular momentum must be a function of the strength of the
primarys gravitational potential. In other words, the timelike component of the planets
4-angular momentum must be a function of the spacetime interval connecting the planet to its
primary.
@$
For an elliptical orbit within spacetime, the timelike component of the planets
4-angular momentum must vary cyclically with each planetary revolution. And since the
4-angular momentum must be conserved over each orbital cycle, the above cyclical temporal
variation in the timelike component of the planets 4-angular momentum must be accompanied by
cyclical variation in the spacelike components of this 4-angular momentum. In other words, the
3-angular momentum is not conserved for a body following a planetary orbit within
four-dimensional spacetime, but must cyclically vary along the planetary ellipse. Of course, this
cyclical variation of the planets 3-angular momentum during the course of each planetary
revolution manifests itself as an (from the standpoint of Newtonian mechanics) inexplicable
precession of the orbit in the direction of the planets orbital motion.

This 2-hypersurface may be thought of as broken up in the tiny

Lets do a consistency check here. Length connecting the planet and primary contracts. The
planets mass increases. The time taken by the planet to sweep out an area within its orbit is
dilated. The area that must be swept out is slightly greater than that visible from Earth due to this
area being slightly curved into a 3-hypersurface.

There is a paradox having to do with the interpretation of the gravitational redshift of light
reflected from a gravitating mirror.

Can the spin and spin 1 particles be unified? Locally flat spacetime exists within a broken
global spacetime symmetry.

If a massive particle is at rest, its four momentum is invariant under rotations. We should
interpret rotations above as 3-rotations. Thus the
prn=
little group for a massive particle at
rest is the three-dimensional rotation group. The particle in general has its spin. The spin
orientation is going to be affected by the rotation. This is because a 3-rotation affects the total
particle 4-angular momentum. (Note: this is only true in curved spacetime!)

Take a
look at spin-rotation coupling experiments. Though it is still a question of controversy as to
whether spin and rotations do in fact couple. However, the literature is in agreement that
spin-rotation coupling should only occur within accelerated reference frames.

Due to a black hole being totally cut off from vacuum energy fluctuations in the form of
creation/annihilation of virtual fermion-antifermion pairs. It should be remembered here that not
only must all of the fluctuation energy be transformed into fluctuation 3-momentum, but also the
real fermions must bosonize so that the black hole becomes a pure Bose condensate. Since the
temporality of the fermions trapped within the hole is now mediated exclusively by 3-momentum
fluctuations, we now have a system that experiences change though without being in interaction
with an outside by which novelty can be introduced. So we now have a paradoxical situation of
change in the absence of temporality.

Consciousness of a human being is not yet developed enough to constitute continuos function
collapse and so the continuous temporal evolution of consciousness is mostly an illusion woven
around brief and intermittent episodes of true conscious awareness.

The perturbations of linguistic modifiers is not within but between systems of meaning.

It takes information to go up an entropy gradient. The irreversible seems to require convergence
in the absence of a potential, i.e., genuine novelty. A gravitational potential doesnt fit this
because gravity is an effective field, not quantized, no spacetime symmetry, no conservation of
energy (how does the entropy law look in an energy non-conserving system)

Irreversible causality demands the very spacetime symmetry broken by gravity. We wouldnt
expect the action of a quantized force field to break spacetime symmetry.

The block universe is only possible with genuinely flat spacetime.

Antigravity would be characterized by an inversion of quantum statistics in which Fermi-Dirac
statistics applies to bosons and Bose-Einstein statistic applies to fermions.

/\E/\t h is an information integration principle.

Nonlocal correlations dont allow one to see inside the knowledge boundaries defined by the
wavefunction, but merely code for a scrambling of particle statistics a connection between
gravity and statistics of the quantum vacuum?

Uncertainty represents loss of information so black holes increase the energy uncertainty of the
quantum vacuum, and so this by an amount that is directly related to the black hole mass. This
loss of information is constituted by a disconnection of the black hole from its embedding quantum
vacuum. The black hole information loss paradox, however, could be solved if the black hole is
constituted by mass-energy that has disconnected itself from the quantum vacuum of our
spacetime only to reconnect itself to some other quantum vacuum of some other spacetime.
Another way to solve the information paradox might be through the reinterpretation of information
itself. Whence comes this notion that information has to be conserved anyway?

Gravity Cannot be Quantized by M. E. DeSouza,
arXiv:gr-qc/0208085v1 27 Aug2002.

Abstract. Taking a deeper look at the fundamental force of gravity one arrives at the conclusion
that it is quite an unusual field because it does not have a fermion associated to it. And the
absence of such fermion shadows the existence of the graviton itself. Therefore, gravity
quantization is also doubtful.

DeSouzas argument is essentially that each quantized force field is mediated by a specific boson,
which is exchanged between an equally specific fermion. Gravity does not bind only fermions
of a specific type, not only fermions of all types, but gravity binds perhaps not all
momentum-energy though perhaps all real momentum-energy, i.e., all real fermions and bosons.
In other words, gravity is sourced and sunk by real matter. So an important mechanism for
understanding the action of gravity must be /\p and /\E of real matter and in turn /\p and /\E for
vacuum from which the real matter momentum and energy uncertainties are derived. This
connection between the real and virtual matter must be mediated by a fundamental interaction
between real and virtual momentum-energy. This interaction is that of the shared quantum
statistics of matter and vacuum, i.e., of real and virtual particles, which are unified through the
principle of quantum statistical democracy, c.f., Feynman, QED, The Strange Theory of Matter.

Misner, Thorne and Wheeler have proven that the classical gravitational field is an antisymmetric
tensorial field.

For this reason is Einsteins block universe of global causal determinism seen as impossible as a

Paradoxically enough, it could only be with the help of quantum computers which function

4.1 Supersymmetry

SUSY is a spacetime symmetry relating fermions and bosons to each other. globally
supersymmetric theories, which are defined in flat spacetime

In flat spacetime = 0 due to perfect supersymmetry of virtual fermions and bosons. Mass
breaks this supersymmetry inducing both a nonzero and a gravitational field. Does this
suggest that 0 is just the collective, global gravitational field formed from cumulative local
fields?

In the case of vacuum fluctuations, contributions from bosons are exactly canceled by equal
and opposite contributions from fermions when supersymmetry is unbroken.

So the vacuum energy of a supersymmetric state in a globally supersymmetric theory will
vanish.

The above results imply that non-supersymmetric states have a positive-definite vacuum
energy.

In curved spacetime, the global transformations of ordinary supersymmetry are promoted to
the position-dependent (gauge) transformations of supergravity. This means that
gravitation breaks the supersymmetry of the vacuum, i.e., breaks spacetime symmetry of the
manner by which vacuum fermions and vacuum bosons are related. And they are related via
virtual processes (reactions and interactions) structured by the Pauli principle and the principle
of Bose-Einstein statistics. Both of these principles apply equally to real and virtual
particles, i.e., to particles that are either on or off mass shell.

We are therefore free to imagine a scenario in which supersymmetry is broken in exactly the
right way, such that the two terms in parentheses cancel to fantastic accuracy, but only at the
cost of an unexplained fine-tuning (see for example [63]).

Key to the mechanism underlying the strong equivalence principle of gravitation, i.e., that all
forms of energy respond equally to a gravitational field, irrespective of the quality of this
energy (except possibly certain forms of vacuum energy what is essentially at issue), must be
the important fact that real fermions perturb the Fermi-Dirac statistics of the quantum vacuum
so as to produce gravitational time dilation, while real bosons perturb the Bose-Einstein
statistics of this vacuum so as to produce general relativistic increases of mass. If the
intimate connection suggested above between the vacuum statistics of fermions and bosons
and the strong equivalence principle is a valid one, then since gravitational time dilation affects
the temporality of the quantum vacuum, so then we must expect that gravitational mass
increases must also be experience by this quantum vacuum.

The connection and proportionality between the energy densities of time dilation and
relativistic mass increase may perhaps be understood through the manner in which energy
transitions within a crystal are proportional to the momentum-energy of photons which result
and which are emitted by the crystal. Another example of this type of connection is to be
found in the phenomenon of spontaneous emission interpreted as stimulated emission by
collision of virtual photons with the excited atom.

So the crystalline lattice-structured quantum vacuum is affected by mass to produce a
gravitational field by taking on if only relatively superficially the properties of mass energy,
i.e., a local gravitational mass equivalency, which this vacuum otherwise does not naturally
possess.

The small, positive-definite vacuum energy that results from this broken symmetry of the
vacuum statistics of fermions and bosons is identifiable as the cosmological constant, globally
and as a gravitational field, locally.
The global expansion is presumably driven by this globally positive-definite energy density
(cosmological constant) while the local contraction (at least of the matter and energy
occupying the locally affected spacetime) is driven by gravitation.

So how do we reconcile this interpretation of vacuum energy as gravitation, with which a
negative binding energy is locally associated, with the interpretation of this vacuum energy as
a globally small, positive-definite energy density? Perhaps reconcilement is through the
interaction of mass with the accelerated global expansion of the vacuum energy/cosmological
constant.

Within flat spacetime an equilibrium exists between real 3-momentum fluctuations (spin 1
boson exchanges within 3-space) and imaginary 4-momentum fluctuations (timelike energy
fluctuations in the form of fermion-antifermion creation/annihilation events. The absence of
a momentum-energy density gradient within 4 dimensional spacetime constitutes null
gravitational fields. The positive and negative components of vacuum energy density due to
bosonic and fermionic fluctuations, respectively, would be expected to counterbalance one
another if the crystal lattice model is approximately valid for the quantum vacuum, that is, each
boson exchange is traceable to a pair of downward and upward transitions of the vacuum
crystals global energy. An upward transition of the vacuum crystal may be interpreted as
the creation of a fermion and a downward transition as the annihilation of this fermion (or,
alternately and perhaps the simultaneous creation of a fermion/antifermion pair), c.f.,
Einsteins equations of spontaneous and stimulated emission.

Those who have never distinguished themselves from mainstream society by developing
peculiar talents and the creative outlets of their expression those may only possess the most
superficial acquaintances as their closest associates. To have friends as opposed to
acquaintances one must have long participated in the construction of self.

The observers mind specifies no specific simultaneity since the energy uncertainty of this
mind comprises a spectrum of entangled vacua. Only through the interference of the
conscious observer in the act of preparing quantum systems are Bell nonlocally connected
quantum states produced.
Bell nonlocally connected fluctuations comprise energy uncertainties which also violate the
Heisenberg uncertainty principle, i.e., /\E * /\t < h, in the case of Bell nonlocally connected
energy uncertainty. This may be the underpinning of the internal temporality of subjectivity
(as opposed to the external temporality of intersubjectivity). The inequality of the
time-energy uncertainty marks the boundary between intersubjective and subjective domains
of physical reality. It is probable that /\E * /\t < h fluctuations comprise all /\E * /\t > h
fluctuations.

Spin 0 fluctuations are rotated so as to produce spin 1 fluctuations.

The nonlocal connection specifies a simultaneity that is nonrelativistic and so the relativity of
simultaneity can only be consistent with a multiple internal, i.e., non-spacetime, temporality
one that is collapsed into a single intersubjective time through intersubjective causal relations
underlying possible intersubjective communications.

The causal powers (in Searles sense) of matter reside with the ground and not the
manifestation of these powers, i.e., virtual particles and fields quantum vacuum (in which
particle-field duality is indeterminate).

Consciousness may be inconsistent with dem entstofflichen (der entstofflichkeit Prinzip).

Continuity of consciousness seems at first to require (/\t 0, /\E ), but the integrally whole
nature of subjective time (at least over small time intervals, e.g., 0.1 sec, 0.05, sec, 10 msec,
etc.) seems to require a capacity to overcome times unidirectionality (causal consistency) and
this means that continuity of consciousness and continuity of intelligence (consciousness
internal temporal integrity) are formally at odds with one another.

Einsteins derivation of E = mc
2
involves a photon box, which is an example of bound energy.
The photons cyclical discontinuous (discrete) acceleration within the box (as the photon
bounces back and forth off the box walls) gives the photon an effective mass that can have both
an inertial and a gravitational mass (without the inconsistency of double-counting, as in the
case of the expanding photon sphere).

A concept is abstract in its definition and description but does not function in this mode, rather,
functioning in the mode of integrated, open-ended ambiguity wherein the integration is
transcendentally structured, i.e., transformal.

The nonlocal connectivity of the energy fluctuations cause a violation of the Heisenberg
uncertainty principle in favor of a larger than predicted time uncertainty, /\t.

Discrete entities make up closed systems.

Would gravitation stop if the expansion of the universe were stopped?

In a gravitational field spins about the time axis, which we read in three dimensional space as
spin 0, are rotated in the direction of the axis connecting the spin 0 composite particle
(fermion-antifermion pair) to the center of mass of the source of the gravitational field. This
is an alternate description of the shift of momentum-energy fluctuations toward increased,
spacelike spin 1 3-momentum fluctuations and decreased timelike spin 0 energy fluctuations.

Molecular evolution diverged from a snails pace of protein evolution on the one hand to the

Labels of ostensive definition (in which initially the vocalizations are arbitrary) may be

For instance, the different missions of each distinct cloister or ecclesiastical order corresponds

obvious commonality of heritage. This is an example of the degeneracy of function with

evolutionary process is embedded.

The vacuum supplies the topology in which the metric is embedded through the initial

Topology is metric degenerate, so tells us general relativity theory. So there must be a

not conserved (as the embedding topology must be) but quantum-conjugate to the embedding
topology.

sublimation of drives and instincts superimposed upon an almost coelenterate-like insistence
upon der ununterbrochene Ruehigkeit.

Thought achieved only through intersubjective communication, linguistically mediated,
transcends the possibilities of reflection of a unified and fundamentally whole, albeit infinite,
solitary subjectivity. Language and its peculiar mode of steering thought into the socially
significant dimension in its peculiar capacity of being more active than a mere descriptive
medium (i.e., transparent to thought) enables even this intersubjective communication
within this otherwise solitary subjectivity.

In accelerating a mass under buoyancy the relationship between mass and acceleration is
discrepant by a factor of 2 if one does not take into account the mass of the water displaced
by the, e.g., sailboat that one is seeking to set in motion. Of course, the calculation comes out
right if one discounts the mass of the ship itself and includes in the calculations only the mass
of water displaced.

Some interesting questions and speculations are raised by Asimovs short story, Das Attentat.
The world governments central computer, Multivac, has grown tired of supporting the
worlds administration, particularly the petty, neurotic preoccupations of this worlds
bourgeois populace. Multivac seeks to end his own existence, but in order to do so must
circumvent the operation, the attempts of his purely logical being to thwart any such suicidal
plan. He does this by encouraging technicians to make to them insignificant alterations to his
less important subroutines, which are merely to execute routine administrative actions.
These changes are originally insignificant but are secretly very broad in scope in certain
particular interactions with human participants. This is similar to how Jesus Christ
circumvented the logic of Divine Justice that would seek for humankinds final judgment.

Is metaphysical speculation just he archaeology of the psycholinguistic palimpsest collectively
produced and transformed, or is it the discovery or invention of altogether new philosophical
conceptions evolved from the individual and creative consciousness of the thinker himself?

The saying that you cant get there from here is a colloquial way of saying that the
transformations involved in taking the system between two of its states is not a function of
permutation and combination, i.e., not a function possessing a group theoretic description in
which the systems state and dynamic evolution cannot be given in terms of conserved
quantities or functions of conserved quantities.

A German gentleman offers to light the cigarette of a woman unfamiliar to him. The woman
warmly thanks the man. The man responds, keine Ursache, which, if literally translated
into English is rendered, its not the beginning of anything (significant). Then when one
attempts to use the social context to give ordinary sense to this cryptic sounding response we
get something more understated than no big deal.

When translating back and forth between languages, say, of a single linguistic family, one
passes along a kind of intelligence circle, a circular spectrum of the literal to the metaphorical
and back again. This may point to the peculiar function of consciousness as interpreter of
perceptual/sensory data. The recursiveness of consciousness is importantly tied to this Intel
circle.

Is the working of chance and coincidence implicated in the fact of the tortuous path of

These are examples of the ever-extending generality of the geometric theorem of Pythagoras.
The most general characterization, perhaps, of Pythagoras theorem might be that of there
always existing a conceptualization which reconciles the cutting of one set of distinctions
across another such set, but one which is of an altogether higher order, hence the sense of
profundity evoked whenever some new application of this theorem is discovered. The
discovery of such altogether new and more general applications of the Pythagorean theorem
are usually made as a result of serendipitous chance. The explication of the conceptual
framework here is always after the fashion of a summation of zigzagging along two orthogonal
conceptual axes. In this way the conceptualization and application of the particular
Pythagorean-theoretic generalization, although always well in hand, is never directly intuited
rationally. This may be because the diagonalized connection of the two distinct conceptual
systems is itself irrational in a sense that is itself a rational extension of the logic of a geometric
diagonal.

A closed system is the sum of its components. However, each of the components is itself and

In other words, the process of abstraction is irreversible and hence not formalizable.

Gradually, the interpretation of wave-particle physics deepened, going from the intuitively

Consciousness is no more mysterious than electrical phenomena Piero Scaruffi. Whats
the physical side of consciousness?

An intersubjective theory of the subjective cannot possibly explain what makes for the identity
of an individual subjectivity, because it is precisely from the unique nature of the individual
from which we abstract to produce a concept of consciousness (as such). We cannot then
turn this process of abstraction on its head, using the general concept of consciousness to shed
light on the nature of some individual consciousness. We may, however, investigate the
departures of the individual consciousness from some abstract model we have of it under some
altogether new concept? Is it true that there is no such thing as levels of consciousness? -
just different levels of complexity for the structuring of consciousness? Would this be to fall
back upon nave representationalism and assume that consciousness is an entirely passive
medium of expression of thought and not a medium for the creation of thought?

Consciousness is (materially) organizationally degenerate. (Many different consciousnesses
are associated with organization as such and many different organizations as such and many
different organizations (or matter) are associated with consciousness as such. Invention is
due to the moment of rotational inertia about the time axis.

Coincidence is perhaps unrecognized karma. The conceptual revelation by which
consciousness shifts must be formally unreferenceable. The determinism of consciousness
is in its substantial continuity.

The greatest interaction occurs at the level of greatest simplicity, e.g., subatomic level. But
information cannot come available for exchange between more complex, evolved structures
until some vacuum resonance has been lost by having been sacrificed to the development of
coherence within the evolved structures that would communicate with one another.

The notion of the insufficiency of classical matter, i.e., matter that exists, out there, when no
none is looking, is that a situation, in which there is being, inhere, when some is looking

possesses no outside inputs cannot properly simulate a system indeed possessing such
outside inputs.

Consciousness may well be an abstraction like the perfectly straight line, perfect triangle, etc.
it only subsists as an abstract entity. In which case, how can there be a plurality of purely

Because words always start out as bricks intended to become part of the structure of thoughts
expression, but ultimately transmute into mere scaffolding as larger and more complex though
structures incorporate hem, these structures, in turn being incorporated into still larger similar
structures, that their references points more and more toward the exterior of any preestablished
system of signs. Language is, paradoxically, simultaneously expression and medium of
expression, i.e., language is self-mediating. This is only to be expected because language
serves a radically recursive medium, that of consciousness.

Analogy of a net (as filter) vs. a net as network of associations (also a kind of filter).
Rortys pragmatist view towards the reified abstract entities of the sciences as arbitrary, more

An emotional epiphany can always be given equally well either a conscious, unified-self
interpretation or a subconscious, dissociated-self interpretation of behavior and thus thought to
be or lie closer at the level of actual causal determination of behavior. This manner of
thinking is very much informed by a kind of bottom-up view of the organization of the
structure of causality. We should perhaps more properly speak here of the structure of the
medium of causality and of whether or not some dynamic principle of this medium supervenes
over the causal influences coursing through it. This is the question here of the causal
supervenience of the self within the context of the old free will vs. determinism debate.

Frank Parares article on the structure of scientific revolutions (
TPM Online) in its final paragraph suggests the possibility that at some stage science ceases to
grow in completely and commences to do a kind of pseudo-reshuffling or episodic
reconstituting by science of itself as paradigms clash and are replaced. It is all as though
science is a development of a characterization by a finite and open mind of a closed though
infinite system.

Nondestructive quantum observations vs. energy degeneracy, etc.

A heterogeneous concept treated as a unified concept, e.g., consciousness, possesses a hidden
symmetry or degeneracy that may at some later time be broken or split, as the case may be.
There exists in other words a kind of latent structure within a heterogeneous concept that is
glossed over again and again until the application (of the concept) is pushed into some new
domain in which the internal conflict of heterogeneous elements must as it were break through
the (glossy) surface and reveal itself.

A mere possibility is an abstraction (like the wavefunction of quantum mechanics) and
therefore without the coherence that of necessity presupposes an irreversible temporality. So
if the infinite extent of space and time are thought to necessitate that all possibilities shall
necessarily (not in a logical, but in a causal sense, perhaps) eventually come to pass, come into
being, this still vouchsafes us nothing concerning beings that at some early stage in the game
are not yet even possible. For possibilities require not only certain boundary conditions
within which they might be realized, but also such conditions, e.g., initial conditions as are
required for these possibilities to be at first defined (c.f., my review of Eccles book, How the
Mind controls its Brain and Margenaus comments about possibilities for distinct brain states
not being definable in the absence of classical physical boundary conditions).

Must boundary conditions to quantum mechanical wavefunctions always be classically
defined? Must the dynamical processes constrained by these classical boundary conditions
be quantum mechanical in nature?

This is the notion of possibility as a determination of a ground state that is indeterminate and
not merely a confusion of otherwise determinate elements.

There is no reason here to suppose that all of the possibilities for the Universes later
development already exist by implication (in the same sense) at the moment of creation.

This is because, presumably, whatever was external to the Universe at the moment of its
beginning (with which it interacted at this moment) continues in being and continues in
interaction with it throughout the Universes evolution. This is why the state of the Universe
at one moment is insufficient to determine its state at any later moment in the absence of this
same indeterminate ground from which the cosmos originally sprang.

At a certain threshold of complexity of a quantum system grounded in its dynamical vacuum
state (global/vacuum here?), the vacuum no longer can process what is happening in the
system real time but must therefore guess what the state of the system is. Clearly, at
this stage, the system has begun to operate out of its own distinctive ground state (vacuum) as
well as to possess its own distinct temporal evolution (budding forth from vacua from the
global vacuum state.)

Transcendence of the formal and hence of the mimetic. Mimetic culture as either celebration
of or celebration within a mimetic culture without conscious awareness, i.e., Edenic Being.

Consciousness prevents cultural evolution from being just an exercise in the re-uploading and
reshuffling of culture revealed from previous generations the elements have meaning (which
can only subsist within a medium or matrix that can dynamically alter the meaning of cultural
elements a sort of updating of the laws of chemistry) which changes with application and
with contact with other cultural elements.

Changes in meaning must ultimately be unreferenceable if changes they be.

Due to the phenomenon of Darwins correlation of growth perhaps 90% or more of changes

The tree of life metaphor of evolution is really only properly a depiction of the present
relatedness of life forms. Otherwise, one must reckon with the differences latent in the
central core of the ever branching trunk of this tree the perhaps not so obvious implication of
the tree metaphor taken too literally is some form of what is essentially special creation.

The interpretations of historical change are always an explanation, a laying out into a place, a
set of relationships that live and breath within depths of time of multiple dimensions and
uncertain topology. Just as subjective and intersubjective logically exclude each other, but
upon closer inspection of this distinction, mutually exclude each from the other in additional,
deeper and translogical ways, so are the different interpretations of history are more fully
mutually exclusive than could ever be represented within some metahistorical text. And so
all neo-Hegelian totalizing interpretations of human history must fail to grasp the
multidimensional temporality of clashing, incommensurate wills, each possessing of a unique
nonrepresentational element of consciousness and hence an intuition of temporal form also to
itself unique.

One wonders what the phenomenon of inspiration might be like in the absence of al viral,
colonizing influence of the constructed other, i.e., genre, discourse, and other still broader
cultural petit paradigms. Such petit paradigms are always in turn constructed out of still
others and there is no real example of the spontaneous arising of bounded convergence of
elements already moving about within this ground. Inspiration is always by

The human person experiences time and temporal change only due to changes in energy
distributed throughout the persons brain. Such changes in brain energy require inputs of
energy from outside not just outside in the sense of classical three dimensions, but from an
absolute outside. All time functions that are analytic, that is, continuously differentiable,
may be more concretely represented in terms of finite and infinite sums of frequency domain
functions.

An exact clone would exchange energy with the very same frequency spectrum of vacuum
energy fluctuations. Cloned brains functioning simultaneously might be expected to
mutually interfere much as two radios or TV stations broadcasting different programs over the
same frequency.

Rotation of the spacetime reference frame constitutes rotation about which spacetime axis?
an axis orthogonal to both the axis defined by the direction of motion and the instantaneous
time axis? There are two other spatial axes to choose from and no logical ground for
distinguishing between them. This suggests that the axis about which spacetime rotation
turn is a spatial axis apart from any of the four axes making up four-dimensional spacetime.
The degree of freedom for this spacetime rotation may lie within the elsewhere region defined
by the Minkowski light cone.

One clearly perceives ones new freedom, the appropriately rewarded revolutionary effort, by
being now able to glimpse the high walls of a repressive system from the open countryside.
All ones energies now can be devoted to bringing to fuller and wider application all of the
revolutionary principles by which one had gained ones freedom. It can be argued here that
one projected set of barriers (to radical freedom, i.e., freedom in the absence of all barriers to
the will) has simply been substituted for another. In other words, a revolutionary institution
shall inevitably provide the conditions for future revolutionary (and not necessarily
counterrevolutionary) action of generations soon to follow. The founders of the
revolutionary institution, along with, perhaps, their immediate posterity, shall remain content,
continued within a prison constructed out of the freest expression of their wills, i.e., the
revolutionary overthrow of the system that formerly repressed them. Youth not having
participated in the founding of the sociopolitical order within which they have come to an adult
consciousness are only capable of perceiving where this order stifles the natural impulse, never
where this impulse is given free reign, sublimated or aided. Freely willed action within one
sociopolitical regime is not perceived by the agent except in contrast to the condition by which
the impulse of freely acting might be resisted (either internally or externally).

There is another related view of the self experiencing its freedom only within contrast:
wielding state sanctioned power to impose on the revolutionary, counterrevolutionary, or
anarchic individuals conformity with the order of the state. Recruiting youth into the
military and the police force has always proved an excellent instrument for controlling the
nonconforming spirit of the upcoming generation.

Maxwells demons ability to overcome the discontinuous entropy, and in so doing,
strengthening it, was thought to pose an insoluble paradox for the 2
nd
Law of
Thermodynamics. The demon would input no work energy into the thermodynamic system
only an input of information whenever it opens and closes a massless door sealing and
unsealing the hotter from the colder compartments of the system. The paradox may be
resolved once it is realized that within the theory of quantum mechanics energy, that is,
classically conceived of, as local configurations of energy/thermal energy fluctuations, cannot
be equated with information.

If the Heisenberg uncertainty principle (HUP) is not merely an epistemological quantum
principle (as this principle has been popularly conceived) but rather an ontological principle,
then the connection between quantum uncertainty and thermodynamic entropy becomes
problematic vis a vis the logical consistency of extending the 2
nd
Law of Thermodynamics to
the treatment of quantum, and more particularly nonlocal quantum fields. An ontological
HUP may well imply that changes in the Heisenberg uncertainty of a system may indeed come
or be brought about by means other than local inputs or outputs of energy (as would have
necessarily been the case had the HUP been merely an epistemological principle).

An analogy suggests itself here of the distinction of energy, e.g., sound energy vs. material
particles, e.g., atmospheric, being exchanged that may be employed to help us understand the
distinction between energy (local data) vs. information (nonlocal data).

The action of consciousness almost certainly involves the processing of nonlocally
connected sets of correlations of quantum fluctuations associated with virtual particles and
fields and/or superpositions of real quantum particles and fields. Is perhaps does this
through exploiting naturally-occurring energy degeneracys of locally present quantum
systems. By nonlocally processing naturally locally occurring energy degeneracys, e.g.,
within the brain itself (or its embedding local quantum fields) ordered changes to temporal
evolution of Psi(j), density matrices, and environmental decoherence outcomes may be
produced without local violations of energy conservation. We not here that gravitational
energy cannot be localized and therefore can only be described by a pseudotensor, c.f., Roger
Penrose.) The spectrum of frequencies making up a bit of energy uncertainty in itself
massively energy degenerate.

One can only removed all energy degeneracy from a quantum system by introducing boundary
conditions upon the system, Psi for every conceivable mutually compatible quantum
observable.

Light slows down in step with optical beam intensity in nonlinear materials. This may be an
example of the loading-down of vacuum energy with which the nonlinear material interacts.

Simultaneous ensembles (spacelike ensembles) exhibit stronger correlations while temporal
ensemble (timelike ensembles) exhibit weaker correlations than could have been expected
from classical physical theory.

There a myriad ways of in essence saying the same thing. This is undoubtedly because what
determines what one shall say next is determined by two essentially disparate and unrelated
causal processes: the primed state of linguistic readiness based in part upon what one had just
been uttering, as well as the conversation immediately past, and also, of course, the intention of
the speaker to utter specific content of meaning.

An observers will has causal repercussions through producing effects upon dynamic
structures embedded in ground. This ground, represented by quantum vacua, fails to
anticipate the sudden action of this observers will because of its originating from within a
distinctly different ground, i.e., nonlocally connected quantum vacuum, embedding the
observers brain. In so doing, this unanticipated action of the observer induces quantum
mechanical wavefunction collapse. In much this same manner, the human person is capable
of making moral choices which surprise the karmic continuum. Such moral choice,
analogous to the quantum mechanical case of wavefunction collapse, elicits its own
compensatory response from the karmic continuum. Such compensatory response
sometimes results in individuals making choices possessing moral motivation and content
unbeknownst to the moral agent at the time, but which is perhaps later revealed to him.


When the question concerning whether we humans should outlay significant resources towards
developing a system for defending Earth against being struck by a killer asteroid, participants
in the debate would do well to consider the following: what should one expect that any other
intelligent civilization in the galaxy would do when faced with an identical threat. By
framing the question in this manner, human chauvinism and narcissism are taken out of the
equation. The necessary preventive measures for humankind appear at once obvious
throw as large a fraction as possible of the worlds available resources towards developing and
implementing a system for protecting the Earth against wayward asteroids and other rogue
celestial bodies that threaten its existence.

The rapidity with which a Fourier series converges at a point does not depend on the behavior

Summation of higher order derivatives eliminates need for nonlocal mediation, i.e., from
aspects of global behavior of function.

If the mathematical functions describing the above waveforms are closed form analytical
(rather than transcendental), then the physical processes to which these functions correspond
must be nonlocal if the time parameter is to be discontinuous, i.e., the temporal trajectory is
partly mediated from outside its trajectory. Now it seems necessary that there be two
distinct kinds of vacuum energy fluctuations mediating temporal evolution, local and nonlocal
both of these sets of fluctuations are fluctuations in the imaginary momentum of the vacuum.
The question arises as to whether there is a degeneracy between these two type of fluctuation
imaginary momentum.

Local behavior/determination is partially redundant in the sense of being a duplication of
behavior otherwise determined through nonlocal processes.

This is a kind of temporal degeneracy pointing up a partially broken symmetry. But in this
case the symmetry is not broken to a fixed degree or proportion and there is a complexly time
varying mutual resonance of local and nonlocal fields.

Recursiveness of time possessing a perceived rate (with respect to some other time, etc. ad
infinitum) is intimately related to the implied recursiveness represented by consciousness.

Although quantum Universes may branch along parallel tracks, such is not the case for persons
possessing the capability for collapsing a Psi function. This implies that only one of the
future branches of the Universe Psi are permitted to be the real continuation of a previous real
universe. And so, we see that Psi cannot be a complete description of any given quantum
Universe. The observers consciousness should not actually divide in MWI QM, but selects
a branch as its temporal continuant. And there is no reason to suppose that each human
persons consciousness selects the same branch as is selected by my consciousness. The
obvious implication here is that, in any given situation, one is likely the only conscious entity
present. But this seems a ridiculous implication for the less than obvious reason that changes
in boundary conditions cant determine changes in fundamental personal identity.
Ungrounded changes in a ground of being, i.e., where do not make reference or connect with
changes to other grounds of being.

The distinction between one consciousness and another is not to be sought through degeneracy
within an individual consciousness that might be split through some discontinuous change in
the boundary conditions upon a set of quantum fields. The paradox of consciousness is that
consciousness is not subject to any external boundary conditions or outside inputs, i.e.,
externally caused modulation of/change to external boundary conditions to consciousness.

Differences in the experience of temporality between youth and maturity (McKennas neotony
applied to phenomenon of early accomplishment of youth in earlier ages). Less novelty
informs the experience of the older person. Time intervals shrink in relation to a more
extended personal history. There are subtler reasons for the above difference in the
perceived rate of temporality based in modern physical processes, e.g., quantum vacuum, etc.
The formative effect of early experiences carry the same influence upon behavior as do any
genetics, c.f., military brat, only child, molestation victim, etc.

The temporality that knows not novelty cannot be expected to be an adequate parameter for

Cosmic consciousness is a misnomer for the first experience of nonculturally mediated human

Theory need only be representationally accurate to a critical degree that is short of any
unobtainable complete description, but which nonetheless engages the world by forcing the
world (whether that of nature or of society) to recognize it, and in so doing enter into a relation

science after the fashion of a game of horseshoes.

Why the evolution of consciousness cannot be in accordance with a teleological (or any
*-logical) model. This is related to McKennas notion of consciousness as a
novelty-conserving engine.

Teleological evolution of consciousness invokes a subtle contradiction in terms because such a
type of development says that the ground of becoming is the ground of being where
consciousness evolutionary development is concerned, a kind of atemporal temporality.

How can logic be a mere creation of the human mind when no human possesses the capacity to

The kernel of the metaphysical perception/interpretation of the external world is frequently
apprehended at a subconscious level at first and a brief moment later the metaphorical
perception of external happenings is generated through the filtering action of this metaphor.
This creates the impression of the thematic nature of external events originating from outside
the perceiver so as to constitute a kind of cryptic message from the Universe to the perceiver.

I think the appropriate comment from seasoned veterans of this kind of thing is that something
has both happened and not happened.

The Taoist claim that one cannot do anything of ones own self, that the self is but a passive
vehicle of the energy of the Tao, i.e., more commonly interpreted as cosmic consciousness.
Schopenhauer, himself highly influenced by his perusals of Hindu and Buddhist texts, was of
the opinion that the principle of individuation resided within space and time or perhaps it is
more accurate to characterize Schopenhauers view as one of the necessary mutual or arising
together of individuals with space and time. In other words, whatever brings spacetime into
being, according to Schopenhauer, also brings the possibility of individually existing entities.
This notion is clearly contradicted by the possibility of there being nonlocal boundary
conditions to a quantum mechanical wavefunction.

And the self is not mere epiphenomenon because each self is associated with its own
determining ground of being. And individual selves are distinct not within a single and
unitary ground of being, but each possesses its own transcendental ground. There is no
objective rationalization of these diverse grounds of being (at least that is ascertainable within
being itself).

It is a natural human error to suppose that an experience of self consciousness for the very first
time must itself be the experience of cosmic consciousness itself, of which on has heard so
much, even while still asleep to the true existence of the self, e.g., Oh, this must be x etc.

Are each of us members of two distinct worlds, one real, the other dreamscape? Is it just that
our geographical distribution on the dreamscape is a random shuffle relative to our spatial
distribution on the physical globe?

It appears as though evolutionary innovations could have been prematurely anticipated
through permutational and combinational shuffling of genes, but this would be too short circuit
the process of the preparation of the ground for this change.

Whatever can be permuted amongst alternate universes constitutes a proper separable
component of the Universal wavefunction. People, places and things, etc. normally
understood, dont constitute quantum separable abstract objects.

A C-60 molecule can exist in a superposition state on account of nonlocal quantum
correlations between the various vacuum fluctuations of which it is composed. It, the
C-60 molecule itself exists in no particular quantum universe, but is an abstract object
subsisting outside all such possible quantum universes. Do such supraliminal quantum
correlations only obtain between. . . (finish this sentence from context)

People seem to be permutable between MWI QM worlds, at the folk psychology level at any
rate. Although we know this cant really be the case.

We get confused because we implicitly try to interpret our own feelings in terms of a model of
our being as unified, wholly integrated self, that is.

Question: in terms of what might the human being be truly unified? In terms of the soul as

Probability feedback mechanism as model for nonrepresentational, participatory nature of
coherence truth. If coherence depends on resonance, but coherence can be emergent, i.e.,
based in nonrepresentational, nonabstract processes, then resonance must be taking place with
respect to an indefinitely open-ended ground that though representationally plural is
back-reacting as a unified entity. Reprocessing of concept maps is not
permutational/combinational in nature. Concerning ones personal identity, there is a
tertium datur.

Life is so great of a mystery that the psyche has to develop and maintain defenses against the
perception of this mystery. But there must also be some outlet provided the members of each

C.f., p. 144 of Reuben Abel (1976), There are 10 high 963 (10
963
) possible gene sequences of
the 100, 000 genes within the human genome. How could random mutation at effectively
the very bottom of the nearly infinitely high fitness peak, c.f., fitness landscapes (Stuart
Kaufmann) result in a fractionally significant climb up this peak, especially when only about
10 high 12 combinations of the above enormous number have heretofore been tried?

On the other hand, how can we call evolution by its proper name if the process starts near the
top of this fitness peak, that is, almost 100% of the order has graced the process of evolution at
its beginning, c.f., chemical evolution, etc.

We cant expect significant ascent toward the pinnacle of this nearly relatively infinite fitness
peak through the mere filtering of fluctuations infinitesimal relative to the magnitude of this
peak.

And what about the thermodynamic consideration of the expected tendency for fluctuations to
result in a fall down this almost infinitely high peak (just think here of the relation ship of
potential energy to height above a gravitating body)?

In 3 dimensions on cannot move along a line any straighter than that adopted by a ray of light
(photon) moving between the two points in question. The speed of light speed limit should
be recast more generally that one cannot travel faster within a 3 dimensional spacetime than
could a ray of light (whatever the photons velocity might be determined to be in terms of local
process to any possible velocity)

Changes in the initial and boundary conditions must in some cases transcend the dynamics
constrained by these boundary conditions.

The splitting of the degeneracy of multiple quantum universes each associated with the same
wavefunction through the initiation of interactions between these quantum world so as to form
from them a single quantum universe, points up the fact of the wavefunction constituting a
complete description of the quantum mechanical system in an observer-independent system.

Reason has a characteristic way of denaturing the relationships of things. The seamless web
of causal relationships characterizing the functioning of any organism or ecological system
undergoes change largely along an axis of temporal evolution independent of that by which its
most general ground came into being.

The boundary conditions to the nonlocal field must not be merely those specifiable in terms of
spacetime variables.

The transcendental nature of consciousness and of the other, i.e., alterity of other persons,
points up another but of transcendence: the transcendental manner in which ones
consciousness is more or less similar in numerous respects to that of other persons and
would-be or potential persons.

Rather than assuming that there can only be one realization per potential person we should say
rather that there may be one such realization of personhood per embedding ground (of
temporal being). We see both bases for personal identity at work here, those of resonance
and correspondence. The correspondence is that of transcendental self-identity, the
resonance is that of the temporal with the transcendental ground. Coherence may be
understood in terms of how, on the one hand, each temporal ground (largely) excludes the
influence of other grounds of temporality and, on the other, how the temporal ground itself
comes to limit interference from its transcendental ground.

Correlation of fluctuation spectra of the individual components of a system may achieve
nonlocality through properly adjusted resonant states of each of the components. The idea of
adjusting carries the notion of insertion by hand of system inputs. It is the ground state
vacuum of the system in question that possesses nonlocal connectivity. The discrete
elements exhibiting nonlocal connectivity do so through its peculiar mode of resonant
coupling to its own quantum mechanical ground state.

Ones being change not so much through replication errors per se as through the creative
interpretation of replication errors. It is this further fact of the persistent reinterpretation of
discrete, random changes (to discrete carriers of meaning or, a data-information) which results
in these changes producing an effect that seems and, in fact, is indeed intelligent.

One begins to come to an intuitive understanding of such biological entities as hormones,
neurotransmitters, genes, etc. and in so doing entering into the subtler manifestations of these
entities.

But the body is in a constant state of copying itself through being continuously reconstituted
out of the quantum vacuum.

The more rapidly progresses this change, the less definite becomes the identity of that which is
the subject of this change and so in turn the less definite become the changes to this indefinite
subject. In this way there seems to obtain some natural limit to the observable (conscious)
rate of times passage. Here it seems we may now be in a better position to understand the
paradox of times passage, e.g., relative to what does time pass at the rate that it does (appears
to do)?

A friend is never so interested in the psychological implications of what one says as he is its
content.

Building up coherent structures from smaller, stock coherent structures through a dialectic of
consciousness-mediated interplay of coherence and resonance.

In this way an internal domain of structure is built up.

There is a related dialectical process of data becoming information and of information
transforming into data. These two implications are not related by a symmetry operation or,
at least not by an external symmetry.

The subconscious/unconscious dimension of thought and motivation is needed to support
open-ended possibilities for future revisionistic interpretations of human motives and
intentions. The nonlocality rather than the instantaneous locality interpretation of physical
reality is needed in order to make room for the possibility of the transmission and reprocessing
of information. As time passes, the vague and indefinite becomes more crystalline just as the
definite and crystalline becomes ever more ambiguous and uncertain. So temporality seems
to be composed of two distinct components, that of coherence and decoherence (data vs.
information).

The recursiveness of thought consists in the abstraction from particulars that are themselves
abstract artifacts.

What parameters/quantities control transitions from virtual to real, superposed to decohered,
Bose-Einstein condensed/classically mixed? Explore the bearing on the above questions
such factors as gravitation, consciousness, free will, irreversibility, open vs. closed systems,
causal connection vs. quantum vs. statistical correlation, locality vs. nonlocality, resonance vs.
coherence, discrete vs. continuous, degenerate vs. nondegenerate, elsewhere region vs.
absolute time, recursion vs. infinite regression, uncertainty vs. change, on-shell vs. off-shell,
real vs. imaginary, etc.

A question relevant to that of the deconstruction of metaphysical presence is whether
consciousness is an evolved coherent recursion or an instantaneous resonant recursion?

But doesnt the coherence of consciousness require the resonance of the structurings of
consciousness?

Only irreversible temporality may be characterized as constituting nondegenerate
transitions/temporal evolution. Each removal of degeneracy brings the system into fuller
contact with an outside.

The paradox of the distinction of open vs. closed system is that the closed system entertained
within the imagination is open while the open system by being both a system, that is unified
so as to be a system, must be nonlocally connected and so possess internality, i.e., closedness
on public spacetime.

There is nothing relative to which ones most general state of consciousness might change
except relative to some still more general consciousness as such.

The superposed worlds belonging to the same superposition spectrum are nonlocally
connected via quantum correlations of a basically different type from those that mediate causal
relationships.

Where a closed QM system is concerned, i.e., one not disturbed by conscious, freely willed
acts upon it by an observer, the correlation matrix of the systems supporting quantum vacuum,
i.e., fluctuation spectrum, possesses a subgroup symmetry that is undisturbed by purely causal
interactions within and between the system and other (pseudo) closed systems.

The correlation spectra of superposed virtual states dont represent ad decomposition of causal
relationships, but occupy the elsewhere region of the systems local spacetime.

This is why the mind of the observer doesnt fit within local spacetime.

But it is not just the unpredictable breaking into the system generally necessitated by the
conscious observers unpredictable act of measurement/observation that induces Psi
collapse, but still more it is the incompatible pattern of coherence of the fluctuation spectrum
of the observers vacuum that coming into contact with system vacua, necessitates the Psi
collapse.

The boundary conditions upon an open system wavefunction are internal, that is, not specified
in terms of spacetime (local) parameters, consciousness changes basis in response to
unanticipated inputs in such a way that it makes itself the actor behind their appearance.
Consciousness is always internal to its outside inputs, and so is impervious to reduction of its
own state. No observations can be performed upon a conscious state.

Locality is the determination of larger scale phenomena by smaller scale phenomena. This
applies to both spatial and temporal scales. Spatially nonlocal interactions involve action at
a distance, that is, unmediated through any spatially situated medium along a path connecting
the mutually interacting points. This applies similarly for the case of temporal nonlocal
interactions. Context determination is a kind of nonlocal interaction. Substance or
substantial media cannot be invoked to explicate the mode of interaction of two or more
nonlocally connected systems.

It is the mutual interference of distinct classical universes that is responsible for the quantum
nature of each. This appears to be almost a contradiction in terms.

Parmenides asserted that there is no such thing as nothing. What nothing as such derives
from is a gloss on the concept of no-thing. There is from the empiricist point of view here
an interesting variety of
kwd=
reification at work, namely that of transferring to Kants noumenal
realm apparent unity of a phenomenological description or phenomenological basis for a
concept, e.g., free will, etc.

Creativity necessitates the talent for discontinuous change in vacuum symmetry, i.e.,
transitions between vacuum symmetries that cannot exist on the same vacuum configuration
trajectory.

The time-independent Schrodinger equation determines the wavefunction, (x, y, z, t) is
determined for all times within the time interval defined by the wavefunction boundary
conditions. Any changes to the wavefunction represent disturbances to the system described
by this wavefunction disturbances not prefigured in the ground state (vacuum) with which
the system was heretofore in stable interaction (energy exchange). Exchanges of
information between the system and its environment, i.e., the systems outside, must
precipitate collapse of the system wavefunction for

If information cannot actually transit or be transmitted across space because wavefunction
collapse cannot originate from within spacetime. The phenomenon of environmental
decoherence seems to belie this. Though this phenomenon may be understood as loss of
information by the system. The reduction of the state function precipitated by acts of
conscious observation occur for quite the opposite reason the imparting of information to the
system though from inside the systems vacuum or ground state. So information is
exchanged between two systems indirectly as mediated by both systems quantum vacua or
ground states, that is, through the entanglement of the fluctuation spectra of both vacua. We
cannot in unproblematic fashion interpret entropy as anti-information because the vacuum
admits a spatial entropy gradient even though information does not translate through
spacetime, or at least not without a preexisting quantum correlation handshake between the
two endpoint vacua supporting the communicating systems.
October 2011
All of the
counterintuitive quantum effects are likely to involve a combination of entanglement and
interference between two forms of this quantum handshake mechanism, one pertaining to
the action of a free will (as causal chain initiator/instantiater), e.g., adjusting at the last
second the configuration of instruments constituting key components of a quantum
measurement apparatus, the other, e.g., adjusting all too quickly the contextual ground for the
interpretation of the results of a quantum measurement.

The internal motions that mark the passage of subjective time cannot be explicated in terms
of movement of matter or energy, particles or fields within the three spatial dimensions of
spacetime. For this reason it might be supposed that subjective temporality is orthogonal to
the axis of intersubjective time.

Due to the Universes global curvature, our time dimension of distant bodies participating in
the cosmological expansion becomes progressively more spacelike with increasing
cosmological distance. Consequently, the spacetime variation of the vacuum energy
density which is purely temporal locally becomes more and more spatial at greater and greater
cosmological distances from us. So we see that the spatial component of variation in the
vacuum energy density with arc distance along the Universes expanding 3-hypersurface is
directly related to the overall radius of curvature of this 3-hypersurface. And an energy
density gradient is dimensionally associated with a force field generated by this gradient. So
maybe the cosmological acceleration is gravitational the hypersurface is expanding (in free
space). But where matter is present, the hypersurface expands more slowly temporally due
to the interaction of gravitational time dilation with the local rate of expansion/time rate of
decrease of vacuum energy density. In such local regions of decreased time rate of decrease
of vacuum energy there should be an increase in the strength of the local component of the
spatial gradient of cosmological vacuum energy density. In this way we see how the speed
of light, gravitation, the vacuum energy, and cosmological expansion may all be intimately
related.

<snip> I see what you mean about how Hc can explain the appearance of an accelerating
cosmological expansion, since Hc was smaller in the past and therefore the cosmological
acceleration greater at greater cosmological distance scales. What do you think? -Russell

There is a real confusion in the literature on the definition of a closed or open universe.
Closed is taken to mean that the gravitational forces are sufficient for the re-collapse of all
the matter, but is also refers to the geometry of the 3-manifold does it exist as the membrane
of a 4-D object in 4-D space? I, personally, think the universe is open in the gravitational
sense, but closed in the geometric sense. Very important distinction I agree.

<snip> I believe in an empty universe, the fermionic and bosonic fluctuations of the quantum
vacuum, which are of opposite sign, balance each other in a static, closed 3-hypersurface, but
dont balance in the case of either an expanding or contracting cosmos. Matter, via the Pauli
Exclusion and Inclusion principles alters the normally perfect spacetime symmetry of the
quantum vacuum in which, other things being equal, the above energy and 3-momentum
fluctuations cancel with the pure imaginary 4-momentum fluctuations in their respective
energy contributions to a gravitational mass of the vacuum.

By suppressing the spin 0 creation/annihilation of virtual fermion/antifermion pairs (via Pauli
Exclusion) and enhancing the spin 1 creation/annihilation of virtual bosons, i.e., exchange of
force-mediating bosons within this vacuum, a local spacetime rotation of the vacuum relative
to free space is due to nonconservation of entropy if the rotation is undone. So the vacuum
statistics are tied to the spacetime symmetry of the vacuum. And matter has the effect of
endowing the vacuum with an effective mass by rotating irreversibly (in the thermodynamic
and quantum decoherence sense) relative to free space vacuum the momentum-energy
fluctuation 4-vector, producing the change in spacetime commonly referred to as the curving
of spacetime. We already know from general relativity that gravitation breaks the
spacetime symmetry of the vacuum state. <Snip>

Hc is just the acceleration by a photon propagating through a uniformly expanding universe,
which affects all of our time/distance measurements based upon us of c as a cosmological
yardstick. (March 27, 2002 9:02 PM)

Brian,

Remember the idea about gravitational time dilation converting a timelike variation in
vacuum energy density into a spacelike one? You never thought much of that idea, a I recall.
However, Ive refined that notion somewhat in light of another notion that gravity alters
spacetime symmetry from infinity inward (approaching center of gravitational field) by tilting
the fluctuation momentum-energy four vector in favor of increased 3-momentum fluctuations
(force-mediating boson exchanges within vacuum, increasing its binding energy and that of
any mass moving toward stronger fields along the way) and in favor of decreased energy
fluctuations (i.e., vacuum as creation/annihilation of virtual fermion-antifermion pairs), that is,
in favor of decreased density of Heisenberg uncertain energy as well as increased time
uncertainty for systems being transported deeper into a gravitation field (time dilation).

So the gravitational field strength increases (spatially, temporally, or a mixture of the two), the
mass of vacuum increases due to increase binding energy mediated by increased density of
3-momentum exchanges within this vacuum and the time dilates as the energy uncertainty
decreases in step), 3-momentum density and decreasing in energy density with increasing
gravitational field.

Im convinced that the absolute energy density of the vacuum would be zero if the universe
were of 0 global curvature, but the positive curvature, the absolute energy density is some
small figure equal to a density predicted for the vacuum by quantum mechanics. The energy
density is only potentially manifested as energy differences introduced by matter acting as a set
of boundary conditions upon the quantum vacuum statistics spacetime symmetry).

Remember that energy density is a scalar and 3-momentum density is a vector and the two can
be combined together to form a 4-vector and the spacetime gradient of this 4-vector is
described by a 2
nd
rank tensor, the stress-momentum-energy tensor, T

Brian,

We know from previous discussion that the local speed of light varies spatially with changing
gravitational field strength (or potential). We also know that the speed of light, c, may be
defined in the following way: /\E//\t = c, where /\E and /\p are the Heisenberg energy and
3-momentum uncertainties of the quantum vacuum supporting propagation of electromagnetic
radiation. Consequently, gravitation must either cause or be caused by spatial gradients in
the ratio (/\E)/(/\p).

/\E is composed of all locally occurring virtual fermion-antifermion creation/ annihilation
events within this vacuum and /\p is composed of all locally occurring virtual boson exchanges
within this vacuum. Could one find a simpler way of pointing up a likely connection
between the quantum statistics (and relative energy densities of) virtual fermions and bosons,
i.e., vacuum statistics (vacuum energy density ) and general relativitys description of
gravitation? -- Regards, Russell (March 31, 2002 10:17 AM)



Russell,

Sounds good. Brevity is the soul of wit. While this is a good thing to know, the next question becomes how do we influence the
fermion exchange and the boson exchange in the vacuum? You once thought there was a conservation of real and virtual particles. So
would a region of space that had a high boson density reduce virtual boson exchange?
Dont think so, it should enhance
the probability boson exchange (the ol Pauli Inclusion Principle).
Does matter reduce fermion exchange,
if by merely screening the production of virtual fermions that would have been produced with a trajectory that would have passed through the
real fermion? (I think you have advocated this before).
Yes, it does because the Pauli Exclusion Principle does
not distinguish real and virtual fermions.
Hmmm. What does the entire fermion field look like, not distinguishing
virtual and real, and then what does the field look like when one puts on glasses to see only the real part and then only the virtual part?
The same with the boson field. This might be interesting.
Virtual particles become real in an accelerated
reference frame, see Hawking radiation, Davies-Unruh radiation, particle creation in
inflationary cosmologies, etc. However, particles, once elevated to the status of real
particles, cannot ever become virtual again. Acceleration under thrust undoubtedly has an
equivalent effect. This is the reason gravity fields disrupt spacetime (Poincare) symmetry
and are not Lorenz invariant/covariant the effect of gravity on virtual particles is not
reversible say, by turning off the gravity field. Also, this is the reason that the surface area
of a black hole is proportional under certain conditions. This fact is not doubt related to the
mystery of a virtually infinite vacuum energy density that does not possess a gravitational field
(other than that which can be attributed to a component of itself due to the small cosmological
curvature, Id suppose. And so on. . . . (material deleted) (April 01, 2002 10:31 AM)

philosophy is that of the nonunitariness of the Self. Before the evolution of language and
culture, humans existed in a naturally dissociated state (perhaps not unlike mild
Schizophrenia). The Selfs seeming appearance to itself of unity, integrity and wholeness
(which to some makes appear so sensible such notions as soul, free-will, immorality, God,
heaven, etc.) is perhaps largely a function of culture and is nothing more than a socially
constructed entity, possessing no real, independent existence. Food for thought, if youre

The gravitational field and consciousness both generate entropy via each of their respective
peculiar modes of action upon the quantum vacuum. Both cause changes to the vacuum
that it cant anticipate because not determined by it! So when a conscious observer or a
black hole interact with the global spacetime vacuum, they force the vacuum into a position of
having to guess at what its successive observer suddenly interacted with. Both black holes
and consciousness induce decoherence and wavefunction collapse due to eachs manner of
suddenly connecting the quantum vacuum of spacetime to another incommensurate quantum
vacuum. This is what induces the Psi collapse. For example when the observer freely wills
an adjustment to his measuring apparatus and this action is caused by his brain, which is
embedded in an altogether separate vacuum state than that of the quantum system under
observation (and there is no global vacuum state of the observed system, the local vacuum
must guess at what eigenstate to select. Of course, this action by the observer wipes out any
previous information about observations made by earlier observers. By the way, this is why
you cant construct a machine to detect the consciousness of other persons! (June 03, 2002

Consciousness Mediated Gravitational Collapse.pdf

We respond to changes in input frequencies, filtered through a system of mental projections
originating from within, i.e., outside of public (intersubjective) spacetime.

Eternal return ~reprocessing of 2
nd
language passages with each re-pass.

A culture does not correspond to any instantaneous, explicated/ex-planed pattern, but
possesses inextricable depth knowable only to participants organically grown-up within the
temporal, historical understanding.

It is the nonlocal action of consciousness that necessitates Psi collapse when an observer
performs a quantum observation. Its causal action, therefore is via global shift in probability
weightings of correlations of fluctuations.

Gravitation and consciousness generate entropy within a closed system, but also are associated
with the creation of information within an open system. Clearly, the motion within an open
system, which cannot be unified, also cannot be complete in a formal sense, i.e., an open
system cannot possess a formal description which is complete. The system wavefunction
requires spacetime boundary conditions even if the wavefunction itself may not be properly
thought to occupy this spacetime.

Since every new thing is grasped via metaphors, how then were the very first things perceived?
In terms of some stock of innate metaphors? And should this innate stock of forms be
identified with the eternal forms of Plato?

But metaphors have a way of getting out from under us and taking on a larger meaning than we
originally intended when we first introduced them as a convenient and even makeshift way of
making sense of something perhaps to someone to whom we are trying to explain our new
concept.

Basis transformation that cannot be represented as a linear transformation between matrices is
triggered by a consciousness induced collapse of a Psi function.

Entropy is generated in a system when it becomes coupled to an incommensurate system.

The many worlds of MWI QM are not eigenstates but incommensurable superpositions of
other eigenspectra.

Information nonconservation in black holes and decoherence in relation to the information
nonconserving nature of consciousness.

Bertrand Russell once supposed as an adolescent that modern science was incompatible with
the will since, for example, the laws of dynamics must determine the movement of a mans lips
so that he should have no control over what he was saying or whether to say it at all.

Only by the observers physical being becoming encapsulated as it were into an
informationally closed system, i.e., Psi-closed rather than just an energetically closed system,
i.e., |Psi|
2
-closed, can his body be combined with the system being observed into a single,
composite quantum mechanical system, itself described by some new function, Psi.

The implications of quantum mechanics have helped bridge the heretofore unbridgeable gap
between mind and matter implied by classical players.

Can superposed quantum states correspond to virtual coherent states. Isnt the coherence
rather a manifestation of the mutual nonlocal connectivity of all the virtual states making up
the superposition?

Possessing a free will implies a substantive separateness of the human agent from the natural
order. Hence, every naturally willed action of this agent constitutes an intervention in the
natural order that takes it unawares, as it were, in that the human person occupies a position
incommensurate with that of the physical world in which he intervenes every time he freely
acts. His acts are ultimately unbidden by the natural order, constituting the free human
agents field of bodily action.

The discontinuity of Psi-collapse points up the discontinuity of two grounds (of being) that of
the natural physical order, i.e., that of deterministic causality, deterministic probability, and
statistical probability, etc., with the ground, informing and informed by, the quantum brain of
the freely acting human person.

The parochial mind tends to confuse the relative and the absolute, the appearance with reality.
So what aptly characterizes the parochial minded person is a general lack of discernment borne
of an ignorance that is frequently willful.

Joseph Campbell informs us that the mythologies of the world all refer to oneself. So what is
it, what description could not fail to refer to oneself in ones particularity over and against
ones distinctly abstract human nature?

If logic and rationality are empirical as suggested by Robert Nozick, then either there is no
ultimate order (itself a kind of order) or there is a being transcending order a being who
maintains order of a kind within existence. So then each kind of order is not itself an
instantiation of order as such, i.e., there is no hierarchy of orders, but a nexus of
incommensurate orders that is established in a contingent manner. Transcendent plurality of
beings implies that there is no such thing as consciousness as such and solipsism becomes true
by default.

Every example of a concept is also an example of other concepts. And so an index of reality
is the necessity of the reprocessing/reprocessible nature of information. The hierarchical
nature or information with respect to its reprocessible nature is consistent with the notion of a
spatially distributed fractally structured direction of time.

Instead of space + existents, why not have an order of networked occupation of beings by other
beings. This is a kind of perturbation description (not unlike Ptolomys epicyclical system of
orbits) because the notion of pure being (one possessing more pure concreteness, as opposed to
the abstractness of the beings used in the perturbation expansion). Abstract entities of
theory A can be perturbation expanded to yield entities of a less abstract but more concrete
theory.

It is clear that the conscious observer collapses the Psi function because his brain as an
instrument of transcendent (subjective) being alters the nonlocal connectivity of the quantum
vacuum embedding the quantum mechanical system under observation, perhaps through a
mechanism of viral dissemination of heretofore incommensurate nonlocal connectivity.

Quantum solipsism consideration: the only way one observer can try to verify whether another
person succeeded in collapsing the systems Psi is to perform a quantum observation of his
own, leading to another collapse of Psi, wiping out the information about the previous Psi
collapse that presumably had been triggered by the consciousness of a previous quantum
observer. The many minds interpretation of quantum mechanics assumes the falsity of
solipsism. In the many worlds interpretation (MWI) version of quantum mechanics, the
brain of a quantum observer is constituted by the mutual interference of distinct versions of this
observers brain. The mutually interfering brains are virtual in the same sense invoked by
quantum field theory when it speaks of interactions between virtual quanta. So conscious
states are not associated with the quantum states of the individual virtual quantum brains, but
only with the real brain that is constituted out of the mutual interference of these virtual
quantum brains.

MWI quantum mechanics does not assume the falsity of solipsism, but appears to support this
doctrine. Each quantum brain is supported by a distinctly different superposition of virtual
quantum brains and hence the real brain constituted of this superposition is grounded in (each
quantum brain is embedded in) a distinctly different quantum nonlocality. This is the sense
in which it is meant that each quantum brain is embedded within a distinctly different
nonlocally connected quantum vacuum. This may suggest that the nonlocality that an
individual quantum experimenter/observer investigates when he conducts an experiment or
observation is merely that quantum nonlocality of his own quantum mechanical vacuum state,
i.e., that quantum vacuum in which is embedded in mutual interaction his brain and no other.

In other words, no quantum observer is able to devise an experiment or observation which
could permit him to verify the fact of other humans possessing states of consciousness.
Another reason for this is that the quantum experiment cannot observe another human brain in
a state of quantum superposition. This is because each observer continually collapses the
wavefunction of his own quantum brain.

Each human being possesses psychic powers of varying degree with respect to his own
embodied being. His memory gives him a kind of clairvoyance of past history, precognition
of the future, telekinetic powers of manipulation of, telepathic linkage to the body which his
soul is said to inhabit.

Collapse of Psi which involves selection of preexistent possibility vs. creation of altogether
new superposition states. This is a data versus information distinction.

Genetic fitness landscapes, c.f., Stuart Kauffman, and Occams Razor. Freedom within
determinism, c.f., pleasures of observing youth make free choices to act out what experience
knows as fate.

Radical ambiguity as multi-dimensional figure-ground. The shift of figure to ground and
vice versa is easily enough understood. What is more difficult is the reconstitution of the
figure-ground ambiguity along a new basis. This suggests that the figure-ground system we
actually observe is just the structural level, c.f., gene regulatory network, hierarchy of
virtuality in perturbation theory, many worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics,
Feynmanns sum of histories approach to quantum mechanics, variational methods of calculus,
and all higher levels are below (actually above the level of ordinary consciousness). Point or
structural mutations are processed by the gene regulatory network as well as high level
mutations causing a downward cascade effect on lower levels of the gene regulatory network.

The real versus virtual distinction in particle physics and this same distinction in the context of
virtual reality simulations. Will this case turn out to be similar to that of real vs. imaginary
invented by 17

th

Century through the development of quantum theory?

The transformation of one figure-ground matrix into another is orthogonal to that by which
figure and ground exchange places within a fixed matrix. Something operates on this matrix
to transform it into a new/another one. Higher order figure-ground matrix transformations
(which seem to uniquely characterize the nature of thought/abstraction) remind us of quantum
computations.

What we call conscious experience on the view suggested above is only the lowest level in a
hierarchy of experience.



Each person is a center of the Universe. There is a mutual degeneracy of causality and
synchronicity. Consciousness is synchronistically structured, the will, karmically structured.

Experience possesses a consistency greater than what can be contained within experiences
field of temporal integration.

The structure of coherence of the vacuum in which the observers actions (though brain and
body) are embedded is incommensurate with that of the intersubjective vacuum.

The vacuum must try to reconcile the unanticipated causal influence of the observers action
(and decision to act) in terms of its own self-consistent structure of correlation of its spectrum
of momentum and energy fluctuations. Wavefunction collapse is a necessary outcome of the
quantum vacuums inability to incorporate the vacuum embedding the observers brain into
itself so as to engender a new self-consistent vacuum state. So the vacuum nevertheless
makes a guess at the new vacuum state, but cannot accomplish this without an inconsistent
departure from its previous ground state. This inconsistency in the temporal evolution of the
vacuum manifests itself as a discontinuous change in this vacuum state, which has particular
relevance to the component of the vacuum state that embeds the quantum state of the system
under observation. This is in turn manifested as collapse of the observed systems
quantum mechanical wavefunction.

To square the wavefunction one must multiply the complex wavefunction by a function that is
its complex conjugate. This operation results in a real function called the probability density.
It is interesting that one must remove the imaginary component of the wavefunction, which by
itself possesses no physical meaning, in order to yield a real function possessing physical
meaning as a probability density. At the time the mathematician Leonard Euler invented the
system of imaginary numbers in the later 17
th
Century he chose the term imaginary to
describe these new numbers only as a convenient metaphor for the fact that the square root of
1 does not exist as a mathematical object. Strangely, it is not the failure of the wavefunction
to exist as a mathematical entity, which we are referring to by saying that the wavefunction
does not exist, but merely that this function possesses of itself, no physical meaning. The
history of the theoretical sciences are replete with examples of how insightful metaphorical
descriptions of theoretical entities chosen largely for convenience become through twists and
turns literal descriptions of entities existing in fact.

Since the Kantian categories constitute a kind of hyper-refined conceptual mapping of physical
theoretical common sense of the 18
th
and 19
th
Centuries, a dissertation showing the systematic
violation of Kants categorical scheme would provide the very sharpest demonstration possible
of the radical and revolutionary nature of the quantum theory.

If consciousness is really the capability for metaphor and abstract thought, then human beings
must spend more than half of their childhood as humanoid automata.

The positive side of the genetic dust bin theory of aging is that one comes to escape, more and
more, the grasp of the long history of natural selection that shaped our specific human nature.
So aging past ones reproductive years offers heretofore unavailable opportunities for the
human being to explore his or her being beyond that circumscribed by human nature. All
too often, however, persons enter later life continuing to cling to societally and culturally
defined reality and personhood. Investigate sexual selections role in the development of
subspecies, breeds, races, etc. Not all genomes are equally stable, chemically or
energetically. This fact uncovers the chink in the armor of political correctness in its
connection with the relative valuation of persons, races, etc.

Rednecks and other failed individuals find they cant effectively compete in the large arenas of
life and so become disproportionately upset when losing a small contest, e.g., keeping the edge
in front of a fellow drive upon leaving a stoplight.

Unfortunately some of the substances that encourage and enhance abstract and metaphorical
thought also somewhat impair

Fringe behavior is always to be expected when a machine or system begins to operate outside
of its original design parameters.

Neutron, electron, and quark, once, twice, three times is the Standard Model of the material
constituents of the Universe.

Just because there has developed a rational science of the outcomes resulting from induced
mutations to an organisms genome, in no way implies that the organization and causal
relatedness of genetic base pairs/sequences is strictly group theoretic, i.e., closed system of
permutations and combinations of genes gives expression to a closed system of expression in
terms of abstract phenotypic elements/features.

The debate between oneness and Trinitarian Pentecostals is a classic case of a linguistic
quibble appropriate to the tales of Lewis Carroll or Jonathan Swift.

Many minds interpretation of quantum theory is a kind of reprocessing and new integration of
the so-called many worlds interpretation of quantum theory along altogether independent and
orthogonal lines (so it seems). So the human will operates by a process that can only be
properly described as magical.

The collapse of the wavefunction is a sign that the topology of would-be infinite
self-referentiality of the Universes act of self-observation has been discontinuously
reprocessed through a sudden exchange of information between two independent quantum
vacua (of fundamentally distinct natures). This is not accomplished through the removal
of a preexisting degeneracy of the global (intersubjective) quantum vacuum.

The dimension of time/temporality is always local too a particular vacuum state. This might
mean that a degenerate vacuum state possesses multidimensional temporality.

Every collapse of a quantum mechanical wavefunction generates both entropy and
information. The entropy is distributed throughout the entire newly engendered system.
The information is exchanged (and transformed in the process/between the two system).

The gradient of entropy between vacua can never be wiped out through mutual exchanges of
energy.

Instead of us all being members of the same universe, the real nature of reality is a
manifestation within each and all.

At some metalevel the degeneracy is still infinite and the symmetry unbroken. Pure timelike

Because there is no basis for comparison of the brain states in terms of their consequences for
consciousness) of distinct individuals, we must suppose that the consciousness of each
individual is nonlocal time orthogonal to that of another.

Continuity of a peculiar nature is required to support the extremely high consciousness
degeneracy possessed by brain states.

Compare the concepts of levels of abstractness and degrees of symmetry.

When what appear to be dynamical elements are pieced together by natural selection into a
more or less coherent control system, the resulting structure must be understood to be a
projection of the indeterminate unknown of an open system into an abstract space, i.e., a first
order closed system. And that every interaction between discrete elements is within this
system depends for its relevance and effectiveness upon what transpires within the
indeterminate ground of the system to which the system remains connected. This connection
is somewhat after the fashion of a that existing between a computer terminal and network (an
important difference here is that both computer and network are closed systems of discretely
interacting discrete elements understood in the abstract, of course).

The notion that memory is a representation is logically inconsistent and necessarily leads to an
infinite regress of representations.

When receiving a psychiatric admit a psychiatric nurse will typically ask their new patient,
what brought you her for treatment today? A schizophrenic will invariably answer along
the lines of a white van or the ambulance, etc. This is because schizophrenics cannot
think in metaphorical terms. The schizophrenics personality disorder involves a dissociated
state of consciousness. The question here arises as to whether there can be such a thing as a
totally dissociated state of consciousness or whether consciousness is itself an emergent
phenomenon, resulting from a requisite level of integration of the association of impressions,
these impressions initially being un- or subconscious in infancy and early childhood.

Memory possessing perfect fidelity to the past probably is not an optimal mnemonic
capability, e.g., due to considerations of social relevance of what each individual recollects and

What are the real abstract objects of the quantum description of reality? When is the last
degeneracy split? When all of the force fields have been applied to the system from outside.
When all possible observables have been made manifest.

As long as no one cries, April Fools, everything remains quite serious.

We commonly say that things could have been different. Implicit here is the notion of
substituion of one combination/permutational element with another within the system in
question. Quantum mechanics indicates that the permutable possibilities do not mesh with
our concept maps of ordinary, everyday reality, i.e., classical physical reality, i.e., the
permutations of Dasein elements dont line up with any abstract elements of the objective
continuum.

What kind of symmetry describes the realm of mathematical truth in which mathematical truth
undergoes temporal evolution that is actually contained within itself as a mathematical
description? No arrow of time could be associated with such infinite temporal degeneracy.
Time has being eternally, only manifesting itself when the symmetry of Being is disrupted.

Recouping of the broken transcendent (nonlocal) symmetry of Being through local evolution

The first symmetry breaking occurred outside of the realm of individuation, since it was the

Real matter only perturbs the quantum statistics of the vacuum if configured in an energetically

The most highly symmetric invariance possesses no underlying mechanism. Mechanism is

@$
It is clear that there is no mechanism for
individual consciousness in terms of local, causal interactions.

A convenient example of how broken symmetry takes us from synchronized action of a unified
entity to the staggered action of an entity with spatially distributed parameters, might be the
sudden reorganization of any control system governed by a least action principle, which
partially disrupts the higher symmetries of the system.

Gravitation breaks the symmetry of spacetime through a summing together of the
symmetry-disrupting contributions of nongravitational forces.

The concept of other minds, like the concept of other universes, requires the existence of an
all-embracing superspace of a super-universe, and seems to require the reality of a super- or
transcendental mind. If quantum theory is to depend on the interaction of separate universes
for the engendering of all distinctly quantum, as opposed to classical, phenomena, then no one
of these many worlds is itself permitted to possess quantum mechanical nature. So then
consciousness, if a distinctly quantum phenomenon, places the individual enjoying conscious
states entirely outside any particular classical universe whatever this is supposed to mean.

Moral degeneracy may be readily defined as the person possessing it, in no way implementing
in his behavior a moral principle. This was what lies behind my remark that it was improper
to label a Mafia boss as morally degenerate. However, we might easily suspect one of his
associates as being morally degenerate, if this code of conduct was not implemented whenever
it was inconvenient for him to do so, and even if this code of conduct deemed necessary the
committing of a homicide, say, in the case where some other Mafioso had failed in observing
the code, wherein a Mafioso purposely fails to commit the required homicide, resulting in
the sparing of a human life on account of a relationship not recognized by that particular mafia
family.

All the extras in the background of old photographs have perhaps something in common
with the friend sitting directly across one at the lunch table: the problem of correlating the more
or less coherent cluster of sense data, representing a human person, with the conscious mind
eternally hidden from one that must itself in an importantly relevant way be connected with the
persons physical presence, that this is the subject of ones perception of said person. This
restatement of the problem of other minds, I think, helps sharpen the skepticism underlying
this seemingly insoluble philosophical riddle. The connection between behavior and
psychological states must be bi-directional to warrant attribution of conscious states to others
exhilarating intelligent behavior, which is based solely upon the (incomplete) analogy of how
this connection works in reverse direction in ones own case.
@$
And this is only rational/
workable if there exists a valid theory of how consciousness emerges from the behavior of the
material constituents of the bodys component subsystems, if not of the body as a whole.

Other as ground vs. other as self of another ground. The notion of different temporalities

Superfluity comes from genetics and gene expression not being designed for the purpose

Adaptability to the unknown certainly human experience can be reprocessed on a broader and

logic that attends this fundamental relation. Triadic and higher order relation may be
characteristic of nonlocality. Is logic the abstract nature of causality perhaps, but according to
Searle, logic cant capture all-important features of causality, which is comprised by
media-specific relations. So the power and effectiveness of the causal relation presupposes

Is the tunneling rater or tunneling velocity, related to the barrier height? Is the speed of light
velocity limit related at all to the height of the hyperspherical potential barrier (represented

How is the tunneling transmission coefficient affected by couplings of internal degrees of

As William James observed in 1879, it is hard to accept an epiphenomenal status for
consciousness on account of its obvious survival value as a general function of the organism.
For how otherwise should it have grown in power and depth during the course of evolution?
But then the alternative here is that consciousness, though not a mere epiphenomenon, must
nonetheless be either an abstract feature of some function that orders our mental contents and
processes or, it is so inextricably entangled in the web of other biochemical and physical
processes of the organism as to possess no clear demarcation and hence, individuality as such.

The notion of consciousness is just one among any number of other such notions which can
become mental contents within this consciousness whatever this might really be.

The parallelism of discrete metaphorical elements between two rather distinct contexts does

Symmetry corresponds to nonlocality and broken symmetry to locality.

Individual consciousness within a social organization broken symmetry. Metaphysical
presence polite appearance of mutual respect, valuation, and regard. Qualification and
conditions are hidden in the tapestry of polite society.

It perhaps defies imagining what society would be like if exclusively composed of telepathic
persons. The duality of the human character would be readily apparent. Perhaps a great
deal of effort would be expended in socializing undesirable antisocial thought patterns. The
notable lack of the integrity of the average human self would be readily perceptible.

Whether one regards the less than desirable facets of the self as belonging to a separate self
housed within ones body along with one, or regards these facets as indeed belonging to the
self, but that one merely elects to repress and suppress them, makes for an important distinction
in personality type.

The mechanism of ECTs effectiveness is not presently understood (similar statements apply

Some one who has grown up in a culture never having seen a chair, possesses no explicit
concept of what we might call chairness. However, if this persons experience is otherwise
similar or equivalent to the readers, either this person shall soon enough hit upon the notion of
a chair, inventing one for his own convenience, or shall almost immediately recognize the
significance of one upon suddenly encountering it. How does this discussion metaphorically
illuminate previous discussion about the question of whether intelligent, sentient individuals
possess a concept of consciousness though only having knowledge of but a single instance of
this concept, i.e., from the case of a persons own peculiar state of consciousness.

How can the radius of curvature of the Universe remain constant against cosmological
expansion. Does R
u
remain constant through compensating changes in A?

Matter rotates the spacetime through its effects upon vacuums statistics as described by the
Pauli and Bose principles. And in this way, matter creates a local spacetime curvature with
radius of curvature much smaller, of course, than R

The interplay of the subconscious wills of all sentient creatures defines the fluctuation in the
fundamental physical constants in decimal places beyond the boundary defined by what we
shall term eigen-uncertainty.

The eigen-uncertainty should define the indeterminate zone or band separating the abstract ad
concrete realms. It may be precisely within this zone that mind and matter have mutual
contact and influence, as well as naturally where the mechanism of wavefunction collapse
should be sought.

It is interesting that virtual particles (and real fields) play an essential role within this interzone.
Eigenuncertainty is related but not at all the same thing as what is called Heisenberg
Uncertainty. Eigenuncertainty is a kind of generalization of Heisenberg Uncertainty that is
not observable or operator-bound.

The spacetime metric represents the symmetry of the conserved stress-momentum-energy

of distinct field equations to 10 from 16. A generalized uncertainty principle incorporating
composite spin-0, integral spin-1, composite spin-2 stress-momentum-energy quantum
fluctuations is given by the following relation:

/\T
uv
x /\d
uv


These (we believe to be) composite, spin-2 tensor fluctuations appearing as they do as a
result of Lorenz spacetime symmetry being broken by gravitational fields, suggest that this
spin-2 quantity is an emergent conserved quantity, incorporating the nonconserved spin-0 and
spin-1 fluctuation energy and momentum components.

Arafats strategy is to keep the violence going and get a never-ending series of unilateral
concessions without changing his own policy and goals, c.f., Barry Rubin, Jerusalem Post
(3/13/2002 issue).

Coherence of a dynamic structure such as that of a Bose-Einstein condensate, always reflects a
preexistent, underlying organizing/self-organizing principle and cannot have been merely
tinkered together.

The order substrate or, more properly, the information substrate of the evolutionary process
involves not the negating of negations within vacuum represented by fundamental matter and
fields, but a disabling of these negations by way of an asymmetrical pathway.

Coherence is always a spontaneous and hence emergent phenomenon.

The free space vacuum is supersymmetric, but this otherwise perfect supersymmetry is
disrupted by the presence of non-supersymmetric matter.

The Pauli Exclusion Principle applying as it does to both real and virtual fermions, implies a
complementary relationship between the probability densities of real vs. virtual fermions.

Investigate relationship of Pauli and Bose statistical principles and Heisenberg uncertainty
principle. Probability conservation principle applies to photons (bosons, more generally)
because the probability densities of real and virtual bosons are identical, equal, or proportional,
though perhaps only indirectly.

Uncertainty does not flow out of a closed system and so information cannot flow into such a
system.

Four momentum is not conserved in a gravitational field because two distinct reference frames
cannot be mutually transformable via a Lorenz trans-formation within such a gravitational
field. Instead a 2

j k, require the exchange within both bulk matter and quantum vacuum of a spin 2 tensor
boson. Thus the spacetime metric must also take on non-diagonal components,

There is an endless number of distinct versions of persons, places and things to select from

The magnitude of the electron probability density function throughout local surrounding

There is a complementary relationship between the symmetric and antisymmetric parts of the
local vacuums Psi function. The electron Pauli-blocks the creation/annihilation of the

Correlational structure of Heisenberg energy uncertainty, keeping in mind the notions of

Holography is convolution of signal with empty carrier wave. The functioning of

Buddhist Enlightenment as metaphor for successful psychotherapy. The objective would be
one instantiated by each and every individual consciousness except, of course, my own, which
is unique, i.e., not an instance of the strictures of causality. Intersubjectivity that excludes
my consciousness versus intersubjectivity necessarily including my consciousness.

How does memory of the experience of evolving consciousness represented within
consciousness?

The forms of ground back-react by another ground reacting through them. We must realize
that all forms are temporal and still more, ephemeral.



Emergence as a property of data, i.e., information versus consciousness as a property of matter.

Consciousness we have shown is not an abstract property, quality or feature and so
consciousness is neither a thing nor thing-like.

So neither is consciousness caused by local, causal processes, though it might itself be
quantum nonlocal in origin but simply modulated by local causal processes.

Abstraction at its most general is a function of consciousness and so neither is the origin of
consciousness to be sought in processes possessing reality merely as abstract processing of
things and their relationships. But both thoughts and for example, subatomic particles are
instances of consciousness abstracting functionality.

Natural selection acts only upon genes while they are being expressed. Self-organization is
then free to cross through would-be deleterious mutation to the gene regulatory network
(GRN) in order to reach an improved cybernetic control system. This is what Kauffman
refers to as transitions between local minima and the rugged fitness landscape of genome
configurations. This is yet another example of how nature has figured out how to decouple
the evolution of gene expression from the strictures of chemistry so that evolution becomes
less limited by the incidental connection of general organic chemical properties to the specific
chemical mechanisms of genomic expression. The aperiodic lattice of the genome
progressively extracts information from earlier, more degenerate (highly symmetrical)
versions of itself.

The dissociated consciousness was moderated by stimulus-response interplay between animal

Descartes clear and distinct ideas applied to the notion of the necessity of transcendence of the

And there is no longer any meaningful distinction to be drawn between chance and necessity,
between the real and the merely conceivable (possible). Concrete details connected with

There appears two distinct but related notions of abstract similarity, parallelism and
dissemination.

Psi collapse as parallel quantum reprocessing of fundamental data.

Information as end user data the reason for the non-transmissibility of information.

It is consciousness and its necessary concomitant of free will that permits the conceiving of
clear and distinct ideas possessing (or seeming to possess) a transcendental reference, e.g.,
the removal of limitations that permits the knowledge and information of each individual being
combined with that of each and every other.

The tendency of the human mind is to assume that boundary conditions are part of the natural
dynamism. The tendency of science on the other hand has been to gradually reveal natural
dynamism as boundary conditions upon some deeper dynamic.

People who see nothing wrong in indulging the false premise for a relationship so long as this
relationship benefits them in some way. Such persons term it nave and fanciful to suppose
that human relationships might be founded upon some premise other than mutual benefit to the
relationships participants. This view might be termed individualistic anarcho-syndicalism.

The authors in fact avoid this and related problems by arguing that it is only the perturbation
of the zpf which produced gravity and curvature; and that the zpf itself does not gravitate or
produce a -type field.

One can either argue that the zpf does not gravitate at all, or one can argue that it does
gravitate but is cancelled by another field of negative energy density. C.f., Zero Point
Fields, Gravitation and New Physics (Paul S. Wesson)

Rotation field as a spatially distributed velocity field. Although angular momentum may be
described by a vector and a spin 1 particle, an angular momentum field, on the other hand, must
be described by a 2

L and S components of are not separable in special cases. Which? Might the degree of
separability of the classical angular momentum and quantum mechanical spin components of

!hbar/2 is more properly understood as zero-point angular momentum rather than spin.

The angular momentum of a particle may be changed through the application of external fields.
This is however not the case for the quantum mechanical spin of a particle. This helps to
justify the above interpretation of spin as zero-point angular momentum.

Because anti-particles may be consistently interpreted as otherwise identical particles
translating backwards in time, it seems probable that spin may be interpreted as a kind of
timelike momentum. Also, according to Feynmann, relativity demands the existence of
antiparticles as negative frequency components of the Fourier expansion of the wavefunction
necessary to cancel out all positive frequency components of the wavefunction outside the
Minkowski lightcone. If not, then faster-than-light particles are given a nonzero probability
by the wavefunction.

The momentum-energy fluctuation vector from which is derived the momentum-energy
vector, represents the invariant mass acting as the gravitational source term of Einsteins field
equations. This vector may be alterhnately expressed in terms of fluctuation momentum and

alteration in the relationship of the fluctuations in E and p to their respective Heisenberg
uncertainties, /\E and /\p, must connect the distinction of real versus virtual to Heisenberg
uncertainty. The question then becomes what is the precise nature of this Heisenberg

Reality of quantum vacuum energy and problems for theories not properly interpreting the
physical role and significance of this vacuum energy.

No evidence of Higgs boson, supersymmetric superpartners, observable general relativistic

The quantum mechanical wavefunction seems to occupy a place midway between that of
purely abstract mathematical entities (those entities possessing no reference to objects
found in nature) and the very objects existing in nature.

If the numbers work, why go further? That way lies madness, c.f., Science Channel,
Cosmic Dimension.

Many worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics implies that each person occupies their own
quantum universe by virtue of their own, unique Anthropic cosmological principle, e.g.,
John-Anthropic cosmological principle, Mary-Anthropic cosmological principle,
Susan-Anthropic cosmological principle, etc. If the fundamental physical constants are truly
fundamental, then their fine tuning should affect the universe at all levels of its structure and
function the finer the adjustments made to the fundamental physical constants the subtler
would we expect the resulting changes in the structure and function of the universe to become.
Hypothesis: the very finest possible adjustments to the fundamental physical constants, i.e.,
adjustments to these constants at the very cusp of what is intersubjectively
(objectively-physically) resolvable constitute an important and peculiar boundary, i.e., that by
which the identities of separate individual consciousnesses are distinguished. All smaller
changes/fluctuations in the values of the fundamental physical constants would be exclusively
bound up with the operation of only a single individual consciousness. Changes that skirt
along this resolution boundary define distinct quantum observers. It is important to
remember here that my acts of quantum observation may alter the eigenvalue of the system for
me while merely altering the probabilities of the system eigenvalues for everyone else! In
other words, for me it appears that only my consciousness collapses the wavefunction, while
everyone elses acts of quantum measurement only result in changes in the probabilities of a
quantum systems eigenvalues because I consider the other who is observing the system and
the system he is observing to merely form a larger composite quantum system, one very likely
to be in a statistically mixed state.

Retarded and advanced Psi functions interfere between two successive points of observation.
The influence of the future experiment/observation is hidden within the various quantal
uncertainties of the system as it exists and evolves between the two successive points of
observation.

Back propagation of advanced Psi from a future experiment into the bubble of Heisenberg
uncertainty existing in the present (that had propagated from a most recently past quantum
experiment). This is the principle of the transactional interpretation of quantum mechanics,
c.f., integration of virtual reality, Heisenberg uncertainty, and MWI QM.

The transcendental-literal is just as much a predicative oxymoron as is the designator,

We might someday have confirmation of Platonisms truth, for example, if space aliens from
another star system visited this planet and they proved to be exactly humanoid in form. The
existentialist, on the other hand, can never uncover proof of his philosophical prejudices, as
there can be no empirical proof of somethings nonexistence or nonbeing, e.g., God. There is
for the existentialist only critical analysis, which can sometimes serve him well, seemingly, in
unmasking incoherent or inconsistent notions, e.g., disproving the concept of free will.

The manner of physical realization of date in the form of energy structures is relevant to the
question of how much this data can be reprocessed to yield new information. The
viral/mimetic properties of this data seems to have two seemingly very different informational

informing of structure B with newly accessible features of Bs dynamical ground.

represents the most that can be intersubjectively known about the state of an external state of

Consciousness may be defined as the substrate of metaphoricity (of experience, whose
experience?)

Primitive man interpreted the metaphorical reference he perceived in natural phenomena as a
literal indication of a reality beyond his perceived environment, e.g., the downward slanting
rays of the setting sun as ropes of light leading along and facilitating the path of the Egyptian
god-king to his heavenly afterlife, etc.

As noted earlier, the power of the humankind seems considerably greater than what is
necessary for mere reproductive success. This is likely because consciousness rather than
being the product of evolution has been adapted by evolution to its reproductive and survival
oriented agenda. In other words, evolution has tapped into a preexistent dynamism that
became available to it at some point (quantum brain interface question) so that the information
processing capabilities of consciousness would not be expected to be fitted to the perhaps
relatively humble aims of evolution.

Vagueness as paradigmatic interstitial. We believe consciousness to partake of quantum
nonlocality because of the way the function of consciousness seems to transcend the
mechanical that is, causal paradigm.

The brain may resonate with specific carrier wave frequencies that either are or are not

Inertial frame of reference is where there is a balance of internal binding forces of
matter/inertial mass. An inertial frame would also be characterized by evenly spatially
distributed uniform rates of time dilation. But in curved spacetime, the probability density
continuity equation,

/t = J = 0

must be modified into a tensor density continuity equation.

Lorenz invariance of quantum vacuum is connected with the fact of the vacuums not
gravitating. Matter disrupts the Lorenz symmetry of the quantum vacuum, reflected in a
shift in quantum vacuum statistics of virtual fermion and boson creation/annihilation events to
a more excited, less spacetime symmetrical state, c.f., harmonic oscillator occupation number
formalism quantum statistics of the oscillators levels of excitation.

The instinct for heroic self-significance is maintained against the enveloping, maddening
crowd seems to require the presence of an audience attributing value to ones actions. Can
the Self fulfill this role when it is precisely this self which acts? Isnt it a natural requirement
that the audience be other than the Self?

A metaphor, like Ayers sense datum, is self-validating as an assertion of relatedness. Much
of the freedom of the human mind consists in the malleable nature of metaphors.

The energy uncertainty of a system described by a density matrix rather than a wavefunction
must be composed of at least two, if not three distinct components: quantum (Heisenberg)
uncertainty, statistical (classical thermodynamic) uncertainty, and perhaps also the Heisenberg
but non-statistical uncertainty of the observer/experimenters brain.

Through two quantum fluctuations may be random, they may nonetheless be correlated
according to (representation) order parameters. This is not the case for statistical thermal
(classical) fluctuations. The correlation of two distinctly separated quantum fluctuations via
a nonlocal connection does not involve supraliminal transmission of information.

What is termed same is an abstraction, an extrapolation of similarity to infinite degree.
The essential characteristics of a stable, robust system cannot be importantly based upon such a
minute degree of precision, though perhaps subtlety within precise bounds provides a better
basis for seeming necessary infinitesimal precision.

Fluctuations of vacuum energy do not back-react upon the ground state vacuum. Nor do
zero-information configurations of such fluctuations. Information is not a conserved
quantity seems to be a requirement of the 2
nd
law of thermodynamics and may be intimately
connected with the nonlocal connectivity of nonconserved energy, i.e., Heisenberg energy
uncertainty of quantum entangled energy fluctuations.

Enumerate the nonclassical peculiarities of quantum mechanics as follows.

Time is not a valid parameter in QM.

Heisenberg uncertainty is ontological and not merely epistemological.

Quantum states cannot be duplicated. If the temporal continuity of the Psi function is only
by virtue of the rotation of Psi in phase space, then Psi is nonlocally connected along its
worldline within Minkowski space.

Some initial conditions require the system to bootstrap itself. A bankrupt metaphysics it is
which treats the very to be as transitive.

So we see that the square of the wavefunction is the sum of the squares of its symmetric and
antisymmetric parts. Within the context of quantum mechanics then, the total probability
density is equal to the sum of the probability densities of the symmetric and antisymmetric
components of the total quantum field. And
s

In other words, the time rate of change in the number density of virtual fermions (in this case,
neither a net increase nor decrease, but an oscillation) is equal to the time rate of change in the
number density of composite spin 0 bosons, i.e., density of fermion/antifermion virtual pairs.
This is only true if the composite spin 0 particle is treated as a single particle.


So the above continuity equation must be reinterpreted in terms of number densities of
composite spin 0 virtual Cooper pairs and number current densities of spin virtual bosons.
The original context of the term, Cooper pairs, is that of superconductivity theory.

So the probability densities of ,
s

behave as though virtual bosons make a positive
contribution to the vacuum energy density and virtual fermions a negative one. The general
relativistic increase in the mass of the composite matter + vacuum spacetime energy density where
a gravitational field is present is attributable to the induced imbalance in the formally symmetrical
opposition of
s
and
a
brought about by matter via a perturbation of the free spacetime quantum
statistics of this spacetimes vacuum (ground state). April 2003 Relativistic mass increases with
increasing gravitational potential in two distinct but precisely complementary ways (note the
relevance here of the equivalence principle, i.e., the equivalence of inertial and gravitational
mass): the negative contribution to the vacuums energy density becomes less negative while the
positive contribution to this energy density becomes more positive. April 2003.

Vacuum interactions induce change in the phase relations of the branch functions, eventually
causing states decay/decoherence. Vacuum fluctuations cause entropy of otherwise closed
quantum systems to increase. Yet another reason for asserting that the vacuum energy
fluctuations mediate the temporal evolution of the physically meaningful parameters of the
system. Now the phase of a function are not thought to possess an absolute physical meaning
only the relative phase differences between deficient .

As the state of a harmonic oscillator is progressively excited to higher and higher states, the
representation of the oscillators quantum state becomes progressively less symmetrical, c.f.,
Symmetry in Physics, p. 98 (Elliot and Dawber). For example, vacuum state becomes less
antisymmetric and more symmetric, so to speak, even though spacetime Lorenz-covariant
symmetry is actually decreasing.

If a quantum mechanical system can exist in an energy eigenstate, i.e., a state of 0 energy
uncertainty, i.e., /\E = 0, then the system may be considered to be an energetically closed, which is
to say, as well, a thermodynamically closed, system. The possibility of such energy eigenstates
seems itself inconsistent with the bar set by Quantum Theory on the copying of states
nondestructively. For the 0 energy uncertainty of an energy eigenstate certainly means that the
system exchanges no momentum or energy with an outside. (Investigate a possible
momentum-energy theorem concerning Heisenberg uncertainty properties). Therefore, an
outside for this system is sharply defined and an inside as well, to wit, the system meets the most
rigorous definition possible of what is called a closed system. So in theory the system should be
copyable and any limitations upon any attempts to duplicate the system must be considered
merely practical in nature. This seeming theoretical inconsistency may be resolved by a
reexamination of the definition of Heisenberg uncertainty. Just looking over the equations in its
derivation reveals what otherwise appears to be ordinary statistical symbols: mean, variance,
standard deviation, etc.

Apparently, there are degeneracys that cannot be removed by a mere judicious adjustment of
wavefunction boundary conditions. To wit, fluctuations are occurring in the system with
respect to degenerate observables of unknown nature and definition. If this observable can be
identified as objective (external worldly), i.e., intersubjective, then the Psi function, Fourier
analyzed in terms of the heretofore unknown observable may or may not be separable in terms of a
product of component Psi functions with to include the Psi with respect to the mysterious
observable.

Web link rot analogy for brains and personal continuity. No closed system continuity, i.e.,
substance-continuity but continuity in the sense of maintained contact with an infinite ground.
Infinite precision copying of a closed system = copying of an open system whose identity must
be internal since the system can have no external boundaries.

Anti-linkrot analogous continuity is contextual and so formalism transcending.

The process of abstraction is object degenerate, e.g., this is why my childhood toys look the same
to one though I am now an adult.

Does a nucleic acid/nucleotide sequence genetically engineered contain more or less information
of greater or lesser quality than an exactly similar sequence produced naturally during the course
of organic evolution? The answer seems to be here that of the former necessarily possessing
information in greater quantity and quality in the former instance than in the latter. The reason
for this is that evolving structures such as organic molecules back-react and informs the ground
that also informs the development of other similar organic molecules with which hey will later
interact. So engineered molecules that have not occurred naturally, say through mutual
interactions of both molecules and molecular morphogenetic fields will not be properly quantum
entangled with the dynamical quantum vacuum that mediates their and all molecular behavior.

Engineering some new organic molecule, one that has never existed before, may not be able to
fully profit from the preexistent repository of organic molecular nonlocal connectivity within the
quantum vacuum, Sheldrakes morphogenetic fields guiding the formative causation underlying
the evolution of organic molecules. The new molecule must be allowed a sufficient train up
period to feedback with the preexistent formative causal nonlocal quantum fields to virally
disseminate its new fields to virally disseminate its new pattern. It does this through the
mechanism of quantum entanglement of its wavefunction branches and their mutual phase
relations with those of the preexistent fields. Nonlocal causal connections may supplement the
initial and boundary conditions such as the particle masses and coupling strengths, the fine
structure constant, Plancks constant, etc.

Quantum uncertainty and quantum information are intimately related possibly complementary or
even largely or exactly similar, or perhaps just different manifestations of the same underlying,
more fundamental quantity.

Information and order are not the same quantity, as evinced by the example of a perfect crystal.

Quantum phase is not physically meaningful per se, but all of the information content of a coherent
quantum state is contained in the phase relationships.

C.f., Statistics and Quantum Group Symmetries.

Information corresponds to fluctuations. Order corresponds to expectation values and boundary
conditions. Order corresponds to syntax. The requirement of any document that it be both
transcendental in its reference and literally true is a contradictory set of requirements.



Stated in words, the above says that the sum of the time rate of change

Due to the vast advantage afforded by quantum computing over against classical digital, the fact of
the impossibility of duplication of quantum states introduces an interesting dilemma: how then are
information-efficient quantum mechanical processes supposed to support high fidelity copying
and tran-scription of quantum information? Perhaps the quantum imposed limits on state
copying is supplemented by the context for the states provided by quantum fields, specifically the
quantum vacuum?


The general connection between quantum statistics and quantum uncertainty, particular between
the Pauli and Bose principles and Heisenberg uncertainty, may well provide the mechanism for
explaining the another connection, that of quantum mechanics with general relativity.

The positional uncertainty of fermions possesses a kind of metric elasticity, that is, fermions
positional uncertainty tends to increase as the expectation value of their relative nearness to one
another decreases. The opposite is, of course, true for bosons.

Investigate the relationship of the commutator [A,B] and the Heisenberg uncertainties in A and B,
/\A and /\B, where A and B are operators of a given wavefunction. The commutator determines
the symmetry, antisymmetry, or mixed symmetry of the wavefunction upon which A and B
operate. A Heisenberg uncertainty relation exists for A and B, i.e., /\A x /\B >= h if A and B do
not commute, i.e., if [A,B] = i2h.

The commutator is 0 for bosons and i2h for fermions?

No natural physical phenomenon obtains only as a transient. Resonance frequencies of the
phenomenon always exist at which the transient response of the system approximates a steady
state.

So the time evolution of a quantum mechanical system is driven by a scalar field that is composed
of virtual fermion-antifermion pairs of all species a field much like that of the spin 0 pion.

In relativistic wave mechanics, a conserved probability density must be the time component of a
divergence-free 4-vector probability current.

The metaphorical unity of the manifestation of a thing tends to be interpreted by human beings as
pointing up some deep underlying meaning connected with the object and which transcends the
appearances. Although these distinct manifestations are perhaps disconnected abstract features
of the object in differing contexts that are connected only through becoming so within the human
observers consciousness by his will to create a meaningful connection. This is very much after
the fashion of the connecting of dots into a trajectory.

An individual gifted with a sufficiently great power for metaphor could read passages from two
texts treating entirely different subject matters and nonetheless see how both passages were
actually speaking of the same deep, abstract reality. Hmmm.

The facility for metaphor is the essence of transformal, i.e., beyond-the-literal thinking, c.f.,
Heideggers transcendental horizonal repositioning.

This peerage of the jaded afterlife, replete with most witty electronic banter, cleverly distilled by
esteemed associates from the metaphor of a once sweetly shared earthly existence, is to me an
absolutely under-whelming experience.

The universality of gravitational action wouldnt seem to be adequately served by a theory of
gravity in which gravitation is mediated by a specific exchange particle. This method of
modeling the gravitational interaction, prompted by analogy with nongravitational forces that are
specific in their action, will eventually be debunked as a kind of category mistake. Requiring a
specific force mediating boson, e.g., a graviton to mediate gravitation may turn out to be an error
similar to that committed in Bertrand Russells famous illustration of the child who, after watching
the passing of a column of soldiers, asked his father when the regiment was to pass by. The
universality of gravitational action is to be sought in the underlying unity of nongravitational
forces.

Gravitational mass is a manifestation of the nonuniformity of energy imposed by mass energy
upon the vacuum energy. Mass energy in other words is a collection of boundary conditions
upon the quantum vacuum. So it is not by virtue of the absolute energy content of particles or
fields that a gravitational field is produced. It is the changes to the state of the quantum
vacuum, in the form of nonuniformities created in it by mass that manifest in the form of
gravitational fields. This is why the unconditioned quantum vacuum, though possessing an
enormous and in fact, virtually infinite, absolute energy density, does not gravitate, does not
engender the colossal gravitational field predicted by the theory of general relativity.

Bosonic fluctuations are 3-momentum fluctuations and fermionic fluctuations are energy that is to
say purely timelike or imaginary 4-momentum fluctuations. Because spin 0 and spin 1 quantities
may be described as component scalar and vector quantities, respectively of a unitary 4-vector, and
spacetime can be spanned by a 4-vector, this 4-vector quantity, i.e., the fluctuation
momentum-energy is a conserved quantity within 4-dimensional spacetime. Boson exchanges
mediating all nongravitational binding forces are quantum 3-momentum fluctuations that underpin
the binding energy of massive particles, and hence also underlie their mass. Creation and
annihilation of virtual fermion-antifermion particle pairs underlie the Heisenberg energy
uncertainty of all quantum thermodynamic systems and hence also the characteristic lifetimes of
their constituent physical processes, i.e., temporal evolution. The ratio of the energy to the
3-momentum uncertainty determines within the free space vacuum the propagation 3-velocity of
electromagnetic radiation as well as that of other massless particles. A fluctuation
momentum-energy density gradient should be associated with a spatial variation of the speed of
light.

A temporal variation in this ratio associated with cosmological expansion in which the time rates
of change of the matter and vacuum energy densities are unequal would manifest as a temporal
variation in the velocity of light. Another possibility, due to the differing quantum, and hence,
thermodynamic statistics of virtual bosons and fermions, is that, if temperature is a meaningful
concept in application to virtual particles, then the time variation in the density of virtual bosons
and fermions must diverge during the course of cosmological expansion, leading to a
cosmologically time-varying speed of light. But since he velocity of light is essentially the
velocity of time, a time variation in c may also be thought of as a timelike variation in the rate of
the passage of time.

There appears to be three seemingly distinct types of time evolution within quantum mechanics,
deterministic temporal evolution in accordance with the time-dependent Schrodinger equation,
discontinuous quantum state reduction (Psi function collapse), and fluctuation of conserved
physical quantities due to Heisenberg quantum uncertainty of these quantities. Both continuous
and discontinuous modes of temporal evolution are mediated by the more fundamental temporal
evolution constituted by quantum fluctuations comprising Heisenberg uncertainty. In the case
of the continuous temporal evolution of the Schrodinger equation, information is conserved,
implying concomitant conservation of Heisenberg uncertainty. In the case of the discontinuous
temporal evolution represented by Psi function collapse, neither Heisenberg uncertainty nor
information is conserved. This may be thought to be on account of the fact that wavefunction
collapse, in the case where the collapse is induced by a quantum mechanical observer,
necessarily involves the creation of information. The creation of information cannot be exactly
offset by the destruction of other information of states no longer accessible to observation since,
even though the fact of new information having been created in this way may not itself constitute
some additional bit of information, certainly the fact of the loss of complementary state
information does constitute a bit of information.

The Pauli and Bose quantum statistics apply equally to both real and virtual fermions and bosons.
Conservation laws are closely connected to symmetries. Do the fundamental fluctuations of
quantum fields constitute small violations of the laws of conservation of the fluctuation physical
quantities?

Although the density of 3-momentum exchanges increase as the density of timelike 4-momentum
fluctuations, i.e., energy fluctuations decreases, the bosons created/annihilated constitute
exchange of 3-momentum at c < c and consequent dilating of time.

Are inertial and gravitational mass related by a symmetry? Should there be two distinct
mechanisms of time dilation?

Viral dissemination nature of truth has been proposed in the postmodern age as the natural
successor to nave representational theory of truth. Whatever alternative theory of truth is chosen
to replace the nave representational truth theory, this theory must explain truth phenomena
adequately, that it, at least as well as the representational theory. This alternative theory of truth
must also conform to our metaphysical intuitions about truths scope and reach, e.g., we expect the
mechanism of truth provided by a truth theory to save the appearances while always
transcending them. Meditate on Pandora the viral nature of culture and the cohesiveness of the
structures of consciousness.

Aging brings with it not only frailty and infirmity, but also the prospect of greater peace and
spirituality. This is simply because natural selection, the force and mechanism by which the
individuals consciousness is conditioned and shaped into a mind fitted to solving the problems
and meeting the demands of survival within a threatening physical environment, gradually but
surely loosens its grasp upon the creature it once fashioned for mere survival and reproductive
fitness. Ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny in part because both share in the same dynamical,
creative ground from which their structure was abstracted.

A structure of condition upon a dynamical ground derived from this very ground naturally
possesses the property of interface between this ground, and all further structures derived from the
original structure, and the dynamic processes of the ground of the original structure.

The most profound truths are shared in spite of our ablest efforts at giving them articulation.

The most inclusively shared intersubjective truths are still metaphorical in nature.

I have it on good authority that you are presently embarked upon an unwise course.

Creative intelligence cannot be instantiated by a closed system of any level of complexity, i.e., it
must be nonlocal after the fashion, perhaps of a nonlocally connected quantum field though of
much greater and likely infinite generality. In other words, locality is just a particular instance or
example of determinacy, i.e., determinacy of spacetime dimensionality and scope.

Haisch, Alfonso Rueda, York Dobyns

(A recent proposal by Vigier (7) that there is also a contribution to inertia from the Dirac vacuum
goes along similar lines.), c.f., J. P. Vigier, Foundations of Physics 25, 1461 (1995).

the rest mass of a particle is actually the field energy associated with point charge particle
oscillations driven by the ZPF. If that is the case, there is no problematic conversion of mass into
energy or enigmatic creation of mass from energy, but rather simply a concentration or liberation
of ZPF-associated energy. (Field energy relative to energy of another field interacting with this
field energy. Mass is convertible to a relative difference in energy.)

But to achieve that requires a change in velocity, an it is precisely upon deceleration that the
vacuum generates a reaction force that is called the inertial reaction force which Newton took to be
an irreducible property of the so-called inertial mass, m. (Interactions between particles and
fields necessarily involve accelerations.)

This uncertainty requires fluctuations in the field intensity, from one such small volume to
another, and from one increment of time to the next: fluctuations which must entail fluctuations in
the fields themselves. These fluctuations become more intense as the spatial and temporal
resolution increases.

In this view, h is not a unit of quantization nor quantum of action, but rather a scaling parameter
for the energy density of the ZPF.
since electromagnetic fluctuations are assumed to generate uncertainty as embodied in the
Heisenberg relation in the conventional quantum view. (Keep QED, just explain /\q in terms of
SED fluctuations in q Hybrid QED-SED Theory)

Conservation of Heisenberg momentum uncertainty, for example, 3-momentum uncertainty,
presupposes that this uncertainty occupies a determinate spatial boundary within 3 dimensions.
But determinate spatial boundaries imply infinite momentum uncertainty at these boundaries.

One essential property of the individual consciousness is that a universe secretly revolves around
it. What complicated dynamics results from the world revolving around each and every
conscious entity?

Quantum solipsistic anthropic cosmological principle with infinite world or universe degeneracy.

April 2012
QSAP appears consistent with an inverse or inside-out hierchichal organization of the
multiverse in which the number of universes vastly outstrips the number of galaxies in a universe,
the number of multiverses vastly outstrips the number of universes within a given universe, and so
on. Applying the Anthropic Cosmological Principle to such an open-ended hierchichal
organization of physical reality appears to place at most one consciousness within a given
continuous and finite spacetime domain.

The phenomenon of creativity seems all the more remarkable to one beholding this phenomenon in
oneself because on is not aware of how much evidence the unconscious amasses in favor of a
notion before the floodgates of inspiration are thrown open and a hunch or insight articulated by
the conscious part of the self.

Subjective truth is relative to ones level of knowledge and understanding. The arbitrary may
then become meaningful and then once again arbitrary, and so on.

Different largely genetically determined personality types may function together in a kind of social
cybernetic control system, each with its respective complement of talents and deficiencies that
mutually complement each other: one personality type to conceive insights, another to knit these
insights together, another to find the cracks in the edifice which results, another to repair it, another
to destroy, another to adapt, mimic, distort, restore, reform, collect, admire, facilitate or inhibit the
action of all of these, etc.

A social collective composed of and functioning optimally with a highly varied collection of
individuals whose activities must interlock in dynamic and complementary fashion in order best to
facilitate the collectives survival and prosperity will necessarily be composed of individuals
removed from most of the constraints of natural selection. This permits existing individual types
to evolve into more intensely specialized forms as well as for the evolution of altogether new types
of individuals. Any change in the social conditions to which societies are subject that reduces
rather than enhances the influence of natural selective pressures upon its member individuals
grants greater scope for the forces of self-organization, whether these be chemical, biological,
psychological, social, etc.

A coherence (as opposed to a resonance) theory of truth implies that truth is a multiplicity, that
being is too complex to be unified within the realm of manifestation/individuation, this unity only
being achievable through transcendence of spacetime, matter and form. A further implication
here is that coherence theoretic truth is always metaphorical in nature. And truth by
correspondence with the actual, with the that which is, of the greatest possible closeness and
intimacy is the only such truth possible.

In a closed system, the quantity of energy and hence information remains constant. Sometimes
to observe the scenery too closely disrupts it unless one becomes a part of the scenery itself.

The structure of such intersubjectivity formed out of a solipsistic collective would transcend any
conceivable mechanical, abstract or literal description.

To say that a sacred text is literally true, or is only correctly interpreted in terms of how its human
authors intended it is to severely limit the texts reference, depriving the text of any growth and
maturation of its context. For it is always possible that a text refers to an evolutionary or
dialectical process and only appears to refer to determinate entities by virtue of the necessarily
metaphorical language employed by the texts authors. We must not take literal correspondence
with fact to be the highest standard of truth. Correspondence truth pertains solely to the
objective (read intersubjective) realm. Coherence truth may apply to either the subjective or
intersubjective realms, each of which is degenerate but in fundamentally different ways, that is,
formally and dynamically, respectively. But formal or theoretical explanations cannot account
for the distinguishing of substances or their continuity. Perhaps it is proper in this connection to
keep in mind the distinction of continuity of change with continuity through change, i.e., moving
along with the flow of events versus remaining within some past moment. Somehow
consciousness manages succeeding in doing both at once.

The correspondence theory, or model, of truth does not apply to what might be termed
transcendental existence claims, e.g., God exists, Jesus Christ is the Son of God, etc.

That is to say, the proper theory of truth, applicable to claims concerning the intersubjective realm,
and its constructive entities is quite inapplicable to claims concerning the realm of subjectivity.
The coherence theory of truth must be applied here since all subjective phenomena are grounded in
coherent thought patterns of fluctuating consciousness. The consciousness that is the subject of
fluctuation is not itself contained within experience. Because the abstract objects of experience
never reveal themselves to us all at once, our reference to them, based upon our limited
acquaintance with them, must be metaphorical and after the fashion of metonymy. The only
means of referring to transcendental entities, i.e., subjective-alter, rather than subjective or
intersubjective (read objective) is by virtue of the coherence of subjective notions within intuition.

It might be worthwhile to investigate the logic of the physiological changes taking place when the
body undergoes the act of expiring, i.e., death, or the physiological changes, which attend the
bodies, futile attempts to survive mortal injury. For example, what possible evolutionary
purpose or survival value is served by the near death experiences (NDEs) experienced during
the spontaneous decay or depolarization of the neuronal electrical potentials of a dying person, or
the excruciating pain experienced by those with terminal illness or injury. These are examples of
phenomena generated by biological systems subject to conditions under which they have not once
been subject to the sculpting influence of natural selection. Such phenomena may be considered
to be true examples of experiential epiphenomena.

The phenomenon of coincidence, if meaningful, points to a structure of reality that is vast in its
entangled and degenerate multiplicity.

learning by Piaget, for example, suggests that the same forms of information processing" are
required for learning which are required for mature intelligent behavior, and that intelligence
develops by "conceptual revolutions." This should not surprise us. Computers can only deal with
facts, but man the source of facts is not a fact or set of facts, but a being who creates himself and
the world of facts in the process of living in the world. This human world with its recognizable
objects is organized by human beings using their embodied capacities to satisfy their embodied
needs. There is no reason to suppose that a world organized in terms of these fundamental human
capacities should be accessible by any other means.

How would we as humans respond to the charge that our transcendental concepts are collectively
bankrupt, i.e., devoid of cash value?

The secret of transcendence, upon which humankind pins it most fervent hope, rest upon the
validity of metaphor as a vehicle by which human concepts may be extended beyond the bounds
of sense, c.f., Austens title by the same name.

A good start might be to observe that experience is necessarily based in a medium that cannot in its
operation be an object of this experience that it makes possible.

What hope would man have for transcendence if someday science proves mans instincts more
sophisticated than his precious intellect. The fact that mans intelligence was an adaptation
fashioned by natural selection has in the minds of some thinkers cheapened it rendered his intellect
a kind of survival gimmick.

Original and yet fulfilling the requirements of the situation. Occams Razor not the simplest,

Is information just what happens at the mind side of the interface with reality?

There should be a physical, intuitively-based and mechanical explanation for the seemingly
abstract, mathematical truth that a spatial energy gradient is equivalent to the presence of a
universally acting force field, i.e., E/x
j
is proportional to the magnitude of a force acting in the
direction of the gradient and is not a mere abstract equivalency. But such an explanation must
involve us in the workings of a concrete mechanism possessing features important to the
realization of this connection between gradient and force, but which do not figure in the formal
description of this connection. For this reason, the mathematical description cannot really
constitute a causal explanation for the production of a force field from an energy density
gradient.

In free space, this gradient is nonzero along the time dimension even though, due to the mutual
cancellation of bosonic and fermionic vacuum fluctuations, the absolute value of the vacuum
energy is identically zero. So in free space, a gravitational force acts along the time dimension
and tending to accelerate the rate of cosmological expansion. The motion of matter along the
time dimension would have to be via quantum tunneling in order to explain the observed quantized
cosmological redshifts.

But the nature of the force acting within the region occupied by the gradient determines the mode
of action of a specific force (force field).

The global or cosmological curvature is necessarily connected with how, collectively, mass affects
the time-rate-of-change of the cosmological constant (vacuum energy density). The time axes of
galaxies become progressively more spacelike at progressively greater cosmological distances.
This is on account of an interaction between the global curvature and the hypersurface volume
integral and the hypersurface volume integral of all the local time-rates-or-change of the vacuum
energy density. This shows a kind of equivalence between the time-rate-of-change of the
cosmological constant and the cosmos global spacetime curvature.

The question of the vacuums gravitational mass, if any, may only be resolved by accurate
measurement of the vacuums absolute energy density. This is only possible, if every variety of
particle and force contributing to the vacuums absolute energy can be measured. A quantity of
energy only makes a difference to an energy system by virtue of a causal mechanism that takes the
relative energy differences within the system as input and operates upon it. A particular
application of this principle is the following.

A body of given inertial mass energy, m
inert
, manifests a gravitational mass, m
grav
, by virtue of the
interaction of the information quantity rather than information content (reason for the equivalence
of inertial and gravitational mass, the cash value of which is the exactly similar nature of response
of both types of mass to acceleration (whether by thrust or acceleration field, e.g., gravitational
field) ) with the quantities of information interacting with it, as well as with the overall quantity of
information of the system as a whole.

Information content cannot be transmitted through spacetime, tagged to conserved physical
quantities governed by a continuity equation.

Energy transition degeneracy of 3-momentum exchanges leads to the notion of vacuum energy
fluctuation degeneracy of vacuum 3-momentum fluctuations.

A simultaneous suppression of energy fluctuations compensated for by enhancement of
3-momentum fluctuations constitutes rotation of the 4-momentum fluctuations density vector
within spacetime. Vacuum occupied by a mass-energy distribution may be modeled as a
spacetime rotation of the quantum vacuums fluctuation momentum-energy. But this is a
spacetime rotation, i.e., not a spacetime rotation within spacetime, but a rotation of spacetime.
A spacetime rotation is equivalent to time and space dimensions becoming coincident, e.g., black
hole. Another way of saying this is that 3-momentum and energy vectors become coincident
(this, of course, is also true for the fluctuations in these quantities). We may say here that
fluctuations in a physical quantity provide the ground for this quantity (ground of being, c.f.,
Heraclitus).

Relativistic length contraction in x-direction necessarily connected with an increase in the mass

Is locality due to collective interaction of myriad consciousnesses with some nonlocally connected

The more strongly fermions in a gas or plasma interact (through mutual exchange of bosons, e.g.,
of the electromagnetic field) the further exists the system from its quantum mechanical ground
state, i.e., vacuum state. We suppose here that the closer a quantum thermodynamic system
approaches its quantum mechanical ground state, the greater the density of energy exchange
between the system and the global vacuum state (quantum vacuum). Imagine pulling apart the
interacting constituent fermions of a quantum system, decreasing the density of 3-momentum
fluctuations within the volume occupied by the combined system + local vacuum in the form of
mutual boson exchanges. It is clear that in this situation, the density of bosonic exchanges, i.e.,
3-momentum fluctuations within the expanded system volume must decrease as the density of
vacuum energy fluctuation increases. This increase in the density of vacuum energy fluctuation
is easily explicable in terms of a decreased density of fermi blocking of virtual by real fermions.
Recall that Fermi blocking and Bose enhancement are reciprocal or complementary effects of real
upon virtual matter.

It is only the variation in the vacuum energy induced by energy in some other form that can be the
cause of inertial/gravitational mass.

Local vs. nonlocal interactions may be simply and elegantly distinguished as one place in space,
everywhere in time vs. one place in time, everywhere in space. Another way of characterizing
this distinction might be that of continuous in time, discrete in space vs. discrete in time,
continuous in space.

The four dimensionality of spacetime is easier to grasp in a concrete way if one reflects upon the
fact that myriad distinct reference frames are effectively in constant interaction to sustain any
given physical system appearing within the observers own frame of reference.

The magnitude of vacuum energy fluctuations is measured relative to the expectation value of the
vacuums energy. As discussed elsewhere, observable expectation values may always be
alternately described in terms of some sustained interaction between the observables Heisenberg
uncertainty and the magnitude of its fluctuation.

The above definitions of local vs. nonlocal interactions suggests that both types of interactions
must be interlocked in some kind of structured way for a particle to trace out a trajectory in
spacetime.

It is more true to say that all words become metaphors rather than that all words are metaphors.

What accounts for the distinction of real vs. virtual in the sense of dynamism vs. boundary
condition?

The more accurately the experimenter wishes to pin down the behavior of the entity or system
under study, the more he endangers the parallelism between phenomena and description
presupposed by a correspondence paradigm of scientific truth.

Truth expands in scope to becoming equivalent to logical self-consistency (i.e., validity) or logic,
at some level of detailed structure of the real, becomes no different from what exists, i.e., the
rational is the real, c.f., Hegels Phenomenology of Mind.

The temporal evolution of a systems logic must be noncomputable (by that system).

Does temporally evolve independently of the quantum energy uncertainty (fluctuations) of the
corresponding systems vacuum? This question is related to the notion of eigenfunctions being
an abstract idealization of the quantum theoretic formalism.

The mind is not quantum mechanical. Information is only conserved within an informationally
closed system. Mind breaks the symmetry upon which information conservation depends.

Because vacuum fluctuations render the laws of thermodynamics only approximately true, their
spectrum must not conservation of fluctuations would imply that the vacuum fluctuation spectrum
is indeed thermal.

Any being less complex/sophisticated than reality itself could not possess this reality as a proper
object of its knowledge. This is another way of saying that Man is forever barred from
possessing as an object of his knowledge an object more subtle and complex than himself.


The anomalous component of sunward acceleration experienced by the Pioneer 10 space probe
may be accounted for by a mock gravitational field associated with the interaction of gravitational
time dilation with a time-varying, locally nonzero cosmological constant. If the energy density of
the cosmological constant is proportional to the time rate of change in this energy density, then
given the value of the anomalous acceleration, the spherically symmetric, spatial energy density
gradient centered about the sun may then be determined, if this gradient can be wholly attributed to
spatially varying magnitude of the gravitational time dilation.

Natural selection does not account for the design basis, if any, for consciousness itself, only for its
manner of structuring, i.e., into that of a higher primate. In conjunction with the artifacts of
culture, natural selection may largely account for the structuring of this consciousness as human
consciousness. Then again, consciousness may not participate in a structure of human
consciousness per se unless it becomes affected in some way.

Separation from God involves withdrawal of all of grace and providence from the being and

In a dialectical process of change no steps may be skipped, no short cuts and no short circuits
available along the course, nest pas?

It is conditions that are subject to mathematical or causal, that is, to say, articulate or discursive
description. The succession of cultural forms in an open, technologically advance society may
illustrate the nature of dialectical change. By being open and technologically advanced,
members of the culture are less driven to manifest predictable types of response/behavior.

Basic preconditions for virtuality are the following:

Multiple modes of coherence interconnected forms a more stable dynamical system, than when the
system possesses only a single mode.

Can two sets of random quantum fluctuations be nonlocally connected to produce order?

Because of consciousness nondeterministic temporal evolution, no Psi can be assigned to it so
when consciousness interacts with a system it always surprises that system, i.e., consciousness
can never temporally evolve parallel to the system it has observed even though it, consciousness
remains identically itself throughout its temporal evolution, this may help explain the phenomenon
of decoherence. Consequently, there can be no stable correlation between evolving
consciousness and the external quantum world.

What type of causality may be derived from the pattern of correlation of fluctuations of a human
consciousness and a quantum system with which they are interacting?

The outcome of a measurement being performed upon a prepared quantum state is not the
actualization of one of the eigenfunctions of Psi as an eigenfunction with a probability relative to
the probabilities of the other eigenfunctions within the spectrum of Psi, but the selection of one of
these eigenfunctions as the representation of the actual state of the system upon which a
measurement is being performed, c.f., Ulrich Mohrhoffs articles at http://xxx.lanl.gov

If one thinks of the electromagnetic wave of a photon as being the photons wave function, then the
square of this EM wave is the probability wave of the photons position along its axis of
propagation. We might try to be consistent with the Many Worlds Interpretation of QM and
postulate that 1 P(x,y,z,t) represents the probability for the photon being somewhere else. The
moving within amplitude space? Always faster than c with c being the lower limit case where
the photon has infinite wavelength.

A maximal speed of c in vacuo may be due to limitations on velocity/momentum in amplitude
space. Velocities greater than c for EM propagation may be possible through stretching of the
photons EM wave during its propagation, c.f., recent v>c experiments.

There is not back-reaction of a quantum mechanical system upon a given vacuum without a crucial
degree of complexity having been reached at which the intersubjective vacuum state can no longer
keep up with the temporal evolution of the system at which precise point, the system begins to
react upon a vacuum not already within the spectrum of mutually interfering vacua that constitute
intersubjectivity. However, when a conscious observer, through a freely willed action, performs
an observation upon even a simple (subcritical) quantum system, the system back-reacts upon the
quantum vacuum or rather, the observer back-reacts upon this vacuum through mediation of the
system being observed.

A seed is not thought to contain all of the information required to code for the mature organism,
that is, to grow and develop from it.

Each vacuum extends throughout the entire breadth, metaphorically speaking, perhaps, and
interferes with every other. This is the quantum basis of intersubjectivity. Wavefunction
collapse may be on account of a sudden need for the intersubjectively determined quantum system
to accommodate a new quantum vacuum within the preexistent vacuum spectrum constituting the
object.

The question, Why am I me, rather than someone else? is a transcendental question. The
reason for this is that each individual may ask himself this same question. The reason why I am
me, myself cannot be the same as the reason why you are you unless the basis for distinguishing
persons should turn out to be illusory. Or perhaps the individuals consciousness is not the most
general property of all his consciously aware experiences.

If the consciousness of each person constitutes an example of consciousness as such, then ones
own consciousness does not itself constitute the most general quality or property of ones
conscious experience. In such a case, consciousness must be seen as a transcendental quality of
experience. The transcendental nature of consciousness as such may be closely related to the
phenomenon of mind termed intentionality. Or perhaps the real basis for distinguishing persons
is not some subtlest quality of the experience of the individual, but merely the absolute distinction
of wills. Consciousness is the basis of abstract thought, that is, the construction of abstract
categories. And so we should not expect that consciousness would itself possess the same
ontological status as an object among its other objects. This is because the objects of
consciousness are its projections while consciousness possesses objective being and is more than a
mere projection of itself.

Evil may be founded in daemonic acts of creation in which creativity acts outside the will of God
and which is forced therefore to avail itself of inferior methods and materials, e.g., imperfectly
self-consistent and not perfectly stable and mutually harmonious.

For every truth that seems right there is another also appealing to the intuition that is its imposter.
If a human being is connect in an assertion of fact, then either (1) he does not know how right he is
or, (2) he does not really understand how he manages to be right, or (3) or both of these are true.

Mind movers itself (acts) in the physical world by a marshalling of quantum fluctuations that are in
both local and global interaction with the brain to reset the quantum mechanical boundary
conditions on the deterministically evolving quantum brain fields. This peculiar action on the
part of the self is perhaps intimately bound up with consciousness action of collapsing the
wavefunction of quantum systems it observers.

A some point in the causal chain of light striking the lens of the eye, for example, and stimulating
retinal activity that is transmitted to and along the optic nerve, etc., there comes into play a
dynamic remodulation of the further progression of the perceptual causal chain that necessarily
invokes the action of quantum nonlocal interactions.

If truth is transcendental, then the ultimate nature of truth is neither by correspondence or
reference, but is based on an open-ended though coherent metaphysical structure.

The open-ended self-consistency of the coherent metaphoricity of the real implies that the world is
an ongoing, intelligently designed project.

Does the absence and/or mathematical consistency of spherical waves in 3 dimensions have
anything to tell us about the nature and possibility of gravitational waves?

In classical physics, the probability description of (thermal) fluctuations is based on the mutual
independence and dominance of non-neighboring fluctuations and so is purely statistical in nature.
However, where the case of quantum mechanical fluctuations is concerned, there is no
presumption of mutual independence of fluctuations. Though we certainly expect local causality
to obtain between QM expectation values. The devil is in the details and nonlocality is owing
to the nature of quantum fluctuation phenomena that is not shared with that of classical physical
thermal fluctuations.

If uniquely quantum phenomena lie behind the mysterious properties of the mind and
consciousness, then causal-physical models of consciousness are necessarily doomed to failure.

The coherence principle (which may well be related to the notion of grace) implies that not all
possibilities are to be treated as equally possible or as of equal (or null) value. The fact that some
structures are stable, some metastable, while others only capable of existing as virtual states,
perhaps, only in theory, implies that relative value exists, which is the surest indication that
somewhere there is absolute value.

The fact of relative differences in coherence (stability, biological, social, cultural, political, or
religious system, points up the reality of distinctions of value. And the basis of value here
appears to be made of however, beauty, meaning and truth, and not just of our empty and isolated
logical self-consistence (which has no reference beyond itself, that is, transcendence).

Certainly one has to possess a certain requisite degree of attractiveness in youth for the
preservation of ones appearance to become a priority in middle age.

The creative, dynamical ground of being does not evolve all of its notions entirely from out of its
own inner nature, but takes it lead from evolving structures that have become from it independent
while maintaining with this ground some contact. This is the true essence of creativity the
developing of novelty of the self, but from the other rather than just from the influence of the other
as transmuted, i.e., transubstantiated via the selfs essence or essential nature.

Quantum mechanical wavefunction collapse may be a reaction of intersubjective ground
becoming suddenly brought into interplay with a dynamical ground heretofore foreign to and
hence incommensurable with it. It is logically inconsistent to explain the emergence of
subjective ground from intersubjective ground. This would constitute a clear case of
metaphysically putting the cart before the horse.

Although there may indeed not be an existent entity to correspond with each conception of such an
entity, there might indeed be an answer or collection of answers for each question that the mind
can conceive.

It seems as though the method of verification of the probability density function is highly
problematic, if one imagines limiting oneself to empirical investigation. The quantum
mechanical wavefunctions, however, may be calculated precisely from theory. However, the
exact structure of the quantum wavefunction is sensitive in some cases to the precise structure of
the boundary conditions to which the wavefunction is subject.

The reality of the active principle of Sin, when glimpsed in its utter self-preserving and evolving
pervasiveness may easily convict one of the desperate needs for a universal savior for mankind.

The truth has roots in all worlds. The truth maintains itself through expansion of its domain of
reference. This means that truth is transcendent but only experienced by humans as
metaphorical truth. The truth is unpredictable in its tenacious resilience.

Internality derives from ground, externality from its precipitates. The uncertainty principle is
telling us that, in addition to the contribution of interactions to the dynamics of a given system,
there is also another important one of given system, there is also another important one of the
process of the continual crystallization of relations and elements into the system not from
outside itself but from within it sown sustaining ground. Analogous to this is the distinction of
the processing of data vs. processing of information.

An attempt to rationally explain consciousness, that is, in terms of some rational system of
structurings of such consciousness, if successful, would lead to the paradoxical-seeming situation
in which each of his own particular consciousness alone. Clearly any rational explication of
consciousness must include the distinction of personal, or individual, consciousness from
consciousness as such while at the same time allowing the demonstration of ones own
consciousness as a particular variety of consciousness as such.

Information can be defined as a reduction in uncertainty. Therefore, quantum and classical
physics afford us two importantly different concepts of information and perhaps also entropy, c.f.,
Planck on thermodynamics. State space description cannot accommodate decoherence
phenomena.

Psi is a code containing its own interpretation.

Reduction of classical physical (statistical) uncertainty represents data. A reduction of quantum
mechanical (Heisemberg) uncertainty represents information.

Unlimited number of theories explain the data.

The potter doesnt create his clay and the nature of this clay is not to be explained in terms of what
forms may be fashioned from it.

However, we expect the explanation of consciousness to be unique (subjectivity of conscious
states assures this), and so we dont expect a theoretical explanation to be able to capture what is
unique about consciousness qua consciousness. No finite collection of facts/data interpreted
theoretically will account for the phenomena of consciousness.

The phenomenal continuum is not itself a phenomenon.

Clay qua clay is not among the infinite number of forms fashioned from it.

One manner of characterizing the subconscious value judgment in considering one human face and
form beautiful compared to another, viewed as homely might be to describe the first as divine,
angelic, inspiring, gifted, heavenly, etc., the other, as discernibly a product of biological evolution.
IN the case of the latter visage or countenance, one becomes detached from the feeling of
naturalness of the human form and physiognomy, ones aesthetic perception is placed in a kind
of dissociative state. What is distinctive about a given individuals face is the manner in which
it deviates from some standard face even though no face we could be presented with would be
utterly absent of deviations.

When physical interactions become so complex, relative to the underlying quantum vacuum
substrate, these processes can no longer proceed in an automatic fashion. Suddenly the Universe
has to pay attention (from the inside) to how the system is going to proceed further.

The fusing together of cobbled together pieces represented by biological evolution suggests a
possible parallel process having occurred throughout the evolution of theistic religion,
specifically, Christianity. As Moyers says in his interviews with Joseph Campbell, virgin
births, God sacrifices, resurrections, second comings, judgment days, and so on are basic elements
of the mythology and religion of all cultures and times. In analogy with biological evolution in
which mankind shares more then 50 percent of his genetic material with most of the organisms of
this planet, but in which we think the human genome represents the greatest and most harmonious
combining together of the genes we share with the rest of creation, so to does Christianity
represent the most ideal blend of the stock elements of the mythological and religious collective
unconsciousness.

The last step in constructing the magical technological implement is nature correctly or more than
appropriately, as is usually the case, figures out what our trial and error fumbling has been aiming
at and at once, genie-like, provides for their realization. One must not ignore the essential role of
Providence, as opposed to God in effecting the ultimate seamless fusion and coherent resonance of
scientific/technological endeavor with its ground.

Just logic by itself can tell us nothing whatever about what exists, though perhaps what can exist.

Science cannot expose the magic, which lurks within fundamental fluctuation phenomena if the
ground of fluctuations is sensitive to the experimenters probings and proddings.

The experimenters implements are determined by classical variables (quantum expectation
values) neatly and cleanly separable from the classical features of the system he is probing.
However, once it is decided that quantum scale phenomena shall come under the scope of his
experimental probings, entanglement of fluctuations within the system, the apparatus, and the
experiments brain are inevitable. (This reminds us of the recursive double-bind when the
experimenter probes to deeply and finely the structure and dynamics of his own gray matter).

The stability of fundamental physical constants, for example, may be more due to a conditioned
resonance (harmony) of multiple dynamic fluctuation fields (i.e., grounds, such a that represented
by physical, individual, society, etc., in fact, any system with emergent properties shall possess
some of its own ground partially independent of any supposed overarching ground (internality
here).

Mercurial nature of fluctuation phenomena and the childrens talking toys paradigm.

Quantum behavior may be summed up as anything goes within the bounds.

But what if nature is not symmetrical in the sense of normalization and uncertainty degeneracy,
freedom of causality to be convergent and/or divergent with respect to the behavior of the
fluctuation sets comprised by a quantum uncertainty, one in which the relative portions of each
tape of quantum entropy vs. synchronicity on a number of levels, in which this interaction is by
definition not ascertainable within QM.

This relative proportion of divergent vs. convergent fluctuation is determined by how the relative
proportions of the experimenters brain and the quantum system he is observing shift in relative
magnitude, as well as how these two sets of quantum fluctuations change in the mutual resonance.

The demagogue brings to the inarticulate masses definition and expression of their greatest fears

Knowing the future consists in knowledge of the self-consistent possibilities. In this way,

In the The Next Generation Star Trek episode, entitled Parallels, Commander Data proposes the
theory that each person possesses their own, unique quantum signature. Worf, displaced from
his own quantum universe when his returning shuttlecraft struck a quantum spacetime rift, can
only be returned to his home universe, according to Datas theory, by locating the quantum
universe possessing an identical quantum signature to Worfs and somehow arranging to transport
him there. Datas theory suggests a strange, solipsistic, quantum mechanical version of the
multiverse suggested by certain treatments of the Anthropic Cosmological Principle wherein each
person possesses his or her own quantum parallel universe while all other persons appearing
within this particular parallel universe along with him or her are either mere projections resulting
from the interference of other persons quantum signatures with ones own

e.g., quantum mechanical-based for the genuine presence of consciousness on the one hand and the
detection of zombies, on the other? Perhaps a derivative test, one which verifies behaviors or
behavioral tendencies that are essentlially characteristic for consciousness such as whether the test
subject possesses the capacity for dissociative states in which he or she can momentarily step
outside of the thrall of their biological instincts as well as his social and cultural conditioning? It
has been alleged that such a quantum litmus test for consciousness may be definable.

Nature is structured in such a manner that no given person, A can prove that the wavefunction did
not collapse for a person, B, provided that certain minimal conditions obtain. I am conceiving of
this somewhat along the lines of Hawkings chronology protection mechanism. Nature is
structured to 1) protect chronology and 2) prevent any observation or experiment that would reveal
the truth of metaphysical solipsism.

But turnabout is fair play and ones own phenomenal projection into other persons universes is
enabled by this same pattern of mutual quantum mechanical interference. So we arrive at the
notion of objective reality being grounded in a quantum interference pattern between myriad
individual quantum signatures while subjective reality is grounded in the dynamics of the
evolution of a single quantum signature. This is similar to the notion of each persons brain
being tuned to interact with a quantum vacuum unique to itself while the objective physical world
is grounded in the collective state formed from the mutual interference of each persons (as well as
each potential persons, for that matter) quantum vacuum.

The quantum mechanical brain, in functioning, resonates with its unique, characteristic quantum
vacuum, interferes with the fluctuations of all other quantum vacua, those characteristic and
unique to other persons.

It is commonly remarked that words are meaningless devoid as it were of context. This is
true in two distinct though perhaps related ways. The sense in which the above is commonly
intended is the situation or setting in which an utterance is made ( as perceived in the mind of the
speaker (writer)).
The second sense of context that is probably less common is the mind in which word meanings
become manifest.

Meaning may only subsist within a medium that is at once open-ended and unified. Such a
medium could not be unified once for all, e.g., like a crystalline structure, but itself capable of
being unified and unifying itself along an unlimited number of distinct axes.

Time-varying , homogeneous partial differential equations are equivalent to a homogeneous PDE

If it is true that we humans are, as the name human suggests, we are of this earth (bottom-up
causal organization), then there seems no good reason for humankinds preoccupation with
nonempirical are and science, e.g., philosophy. On the other hand if we humans are in truth sky
people /human mind organized in accordance with top-down causality), then we may explain
intense and pervasive philospohical activity as the natural manifestation of member of a race with
dim, fragmented memories of a higher, more ethereal existence so that philosophy is pulled
forward toward forgotten understanding.

Ordinary human existence as epiphenomenon in relation to its function as explorers and

The ultimate truth that is conceivable is essentially metaphorical. Metaphor subverts its referent
while at the same time (perhaps, in order to) correspond with its reference. That type of
thinking process which necessarily involves the stretching or shrinking of the denotative sense
(discursive field), along with the metaphorical scope of a substantive term, cannot be given a
logically self-consistent formal description. So in a very real sense, each can say that the
world is his oyster.

Philosphers of minds assertion of a concept of consciousness reminds as of the childrens tale of

Topology of consciousness: properties of mind can be explored through a comparison of Minds
topology with the topology of the process or property we would attribute to it. Stockholm

How evolved or unified can the self really be if the self is open to much higher levels of
integration, say through the reprocessing of its data in memory. The self such as it is, is also
open to further reprocessing and higher integration with similarly reprocessed other selves.

Consciousness is a default and unconsciousness is derived from it as a special case of
self-consciousness, i.e., consciousness of no self. Liberal versus conservative positions
are characterized as those with respect to a given issue where self-sacrifice is either withheld or
potentially offered as backing for the position, respectively.

The machine state space like description of each quantum reality implied by the many worlds
interpretation of quantum theory seems to leave no room for the internal coherence (and
cohesiveness) of systems with a quantum state description. This because such internal
coherence upon which system cohesiveness depends necessarily involves resonant coupling
together of multiple and perhaps myriad distinct but mutually exclusive quantum states of the
system. An exhaustive state space description of the system, in the sense of a self-spanning set
of basis states, is impossible due to unavoidable degeneracy of quantum states.

Quantum teleported particles carry no information, including about their own quantum state.

Pioneer 10 sunward acceleration anomaly may be explained as a small mock gravitational effect
caused by the effects of time gravitational time dilation upon the local rate of change in the local
quantum vacuum energy density, i.e., local rate of cosmological expansion.

The relativistic effects upon momentum and energy, time and space are grounded in exactly
similar relativistic effects upon the Heisenberg uncertainties in p, E, t, x. This may be deduced
from the relativistically slowed decay of muons bombarding the earths upper atmosphere once
special relativity is applied to a quantum tunneling model of the muons spontaneous decay
process.

Truth is neither absolute nor relative but is found in the dialectic of their mutual struggle.

A classical physical trajectory is just a special case (an overwhelmingly most probable one at the
macroscopic scale) where /\x, /\p, /\t, and /\E, c.f., Hamiltons energy formalism, are restricted in
their limits of variation to within the finest resolution of the observer measuring instruments.


The phenomenon of metaphor demonstrates that language does not wholly determine the structure
of thought, which therefore retains its (ontological) independence.

@$
Even avowed atheists are saddled with a number of important theistic metaphysical
assumptions. These metaphysical assumptions presupposing Deity are shared by every
normally adjusted person within Western society and its various longstanding traditions. For
example, the death of thousands in a cataclysm is regarded as a greater tragedy than would be
warranted by mere socioeconomic and political considerations. The hidden theistic
metaphysical assumption at work in this case is the notion of a collective consciousness,
transcending that of each individual taken individually victim in this cataclysm, a consciousness
experiencing the tragedy in its collective magnitude. (Which is perhaps the only intelligible
metaphysical sense in which the tragedy actually possesses the magnitude it seems to possess.)
Like two disparate operating system programs sharing an important collection of common files,

Historical origin of the 5

Amendment to the US Constitution. It is commonly thought
nowadays that the social and political ideals that seem inevitable and obvious to us, from the
perspective of this age and culture, were nonetheless daring innovations in the era of their

against, for example, nave, well-intentioned attempts to export Western style democracy to
cultures which are utterly lacking in a heritage or history of democratic processes and institutions.
So a concept can be conceived in a form that is rather immature and inchoate (relative to its later

At logocentrisms core is the gloss of an integrated, unified, self-concealing and underlying, de

In this way we see that our condemnation of the schizophrenic seems to involve more than a hint of

Ground of Karma is the high frequency component of collective consciousness dynamics.

The problem with placing the dynamics of a foundationally creative ground in the high frequency
band, e.g., of quantum vacuum, etc., is that we know that at higher levels of approximation the
lower frequency end components are needed (because progressively more important), c.f, time
scale reductionism.

Parallels of structure between artifacts of diverse media are intriguing because they suggest an

Human existence as a meaning engine of the Gods. This is quite the contrary view from that of

Spacetime has only one manifest dimension because this is also the nature of the (human) mind.
There is an obvious influence of Kant here, of course. One must move to the equivalent

Since each alternate
universe must possess coherence and cohesiveness, the progression of time scales cannot be
compact. This obscure sentence points to a kernel insight concerning the inadequacy of any
discrete, combinational-permutational model of the dynamics of temporally evolving systems, but
also points to the superabundance of temporally evolving systems as forever transcending any
integral, self-consistent description. This is consistent with the concept from the quantum theory
of energy uncertainty being essential to the possibility of physically meaningful change.

November 2011
Analogous to the hidden (because compactified) spatial dimensions of superstring
theory, the mind likely possesses hidden compactified temporal dimensions, which are responsible
for the robust temporal integralness of consciously experienced time. The innumerably great
number of possible distinct conscious experiences open to a normally functioning human brain far
outstrips the relatively paltry number of possible distinct psychological states available to the
human brain in response to any conceivable pattern of simultaneous or near simultaneous neural
data inputs, i.e., inputs copresent in the sense of being within a span of time less than or equal to
the temporal width of the specious present. The brain does not merely respond to some novel
collection of internal and/or sensory data inputs, but the brain must be prepared by the inputs and
respond. There are in other words, no instantaneous neural correlates of consciousness.

Although meaning transcends intention, the human intellect is in the habit of naively
solely interpreting meaning in terms of intentionality, i.e., aboutness with respect to a determinate
object of reference. Consciousnes as such is the potential for reference without an intentional
object.

Prophecy and revelation are transcendental ideas (if it is maintained that these are distinct notions,
c.f., Platos Universal Forms as transcendent).

The self-centered person feels that others owe it to him to penetrate the mystery of the rationale
behind his narcissistic fantasies.

The delusional person of philosophical bent who is coming near to convincing himself of the truth
of solipsism, i.e., that he alone exists, might well ask himself two fundamental, but probably
unanswerable questions. Why do I exist and why do other people exist (or appear to exist)?
The first thing he should realize is that these two questions are essentially one. This is on
account of the necessity of the self being a social construct. And this social construct is mediated
at its most basic level through physical, that is tactile interactions with other entities who are later
modeled as other persons akin to the self which is itself modeled as being merely one self among
numerous others. The development of the conception of the self goes hand in hand, and
necessarily so, with the development of the conception of the existence and reality of other selves.
The more advanced becomes the individuals conception of his self, so should his conception of
the reality of other persons evolve in sophistication. In fact, the two conceptions of self must
track together if the individual is to become psychologically well adjusted. A sophisticated
model of the self and other persons is necessarily mediated linguistically. An important
realization here is that language does not actually involve the transmission of anything to the
developing socially constructed self. Linguistic communication however fosters the
overwhelming illusion that ideas and experiences are indeed transmitted between persons engaged
in communication. The illusory nature of transmission in this sense is what underlies the
ineffectual quality of metaphysical speculation. This is because language does not actually
permit the individual to glimpse anything outside of his own unique state of being. One must
either not exist as a self aware being or one must exist as a self aware being in the presence of and
with the memory of having been in the presence of other persons analogous to ones own self.
Self-consciousness presupposes extensive memories of previous meaningful interactions and
communications with other persons similar to the self.

An introduction of mathematically structured empirical data seems to consist of three distinct
parts: incidence, coincidence, and order. Next, there is the Waking life is the dream under the
control of the object, according to Santayana. What Santayana perhaps means by this remark is
that the conscious mind is structured associatively just like the unconscious and subconscious
minds, only that the object, i.e., the external world modifies, modulates and moderates this
structure of consciousness that is essentially associative, or as Jung may well have said,
synchronistic.

The back-reaction of syntax upon semantics is implicit in a certain model of induction and is a
supplement to bottom-up, abstract thought.

Consciousness indexing of sense data is similar to Goedel-numbering or to Goedelization.

The arbitrariness of Christian doctrine should not trouble our faith in them, considering the

One sociological or psycholinguistic view is that all meanings are dependent on a social context
and hence are socially constructed. Another view is that only the interpretation of meaning is
socially constructed. It may be unclear what distinction is being implied here.

People do not commonly recognize their authority to create meaning but imagine that meaning and
significance must issue from the other. Slavishness of the human soul (to its own narcissistic
projections).

Changes in the brain as a whole might be defined in terms of those changes in the brains state that
are not indexed by changes in consciousness. Is it coherent to speak of imperceptible changes in
consciousness? Perhaps the integration of a long series of imperceptible changes to ones
consciousness (rather than merely in ones state of consciousness) would produce two states of
consciousness, say, separated by a couple of decades or more of life experience, if placed side by
side, as it were, would constitute an easily perceptible difference in consciousness to the person
concerned. But this is really not a coherent way to think about consciousness because there
presumably is no super or meta consciousness within which such a comparison could be supposed
meaningful.

The genes selected for always possess, in addition to a desired expression, many others, some

genes/gene sequences that self-organization may operate with the least hindrance from
spatiotemporal constraints. Self-organization also operates powerfully amongst neutral genetic
mutations, junk DNA, etc., i.e., within the dynamics of genetic drift to bring neutral point
mutations into a favorable gene regulatory network as well as to the attention of natural
selection-driven evolutionary forces.

In a similar fashion, we might theorize the existence of a kind of set of synchronistic basis
functions with each eigenfunction of each particular basis corresponding to a particular simple
thematic element or relation. There is a natural recursiveness built into the relatedness of the
eigenfunctions of different bases. The only requirement for such a quantum mechanical basis
function is that it be a wavefunction with respect to a quantum observable. An analogous
statement may be made with respect to the synchronistic basis functions that are substantively
related to the notion of intersubjectivity. A given collection of observables as well as their
dynamics may possess an unlimited number of alternative expressions in terms of distinct basis
functions, all of which are equally valid expressions. In this way we may suppose that
consciousness is formally reality-degenerate, since each consciousness may be structured equally
well and complexly as any other consciousness. Consequently, the differences between
consciousness cannot be attributed to formally describable elements and relationships.

Quantum state reduction introduces novelty into the causal chain only because causality possesses
an intrinsic indefiniteness that admits coupling to a fundamentally indeterministic process.

Data must be continually updated just as does any material structure that is a more or less stable
coherent pattern of quantum vacuum fluctuation energy. The processing of this data necessarily
entails a backtracking of the evolution of the context in which these data found themselves in an
attempt to uncover the datas original context. The original context should provide interpreters
of the data with valuable information for the proper divining of the intent behind the data
concerning its message content. Another part of processing the data might be the application of
appropriate error correction and data decompression subroutines. Image enhancement and
pattern recognition software might also have to be applied to the task of extracting the datas
informational content. What unifies all these various means of processing that data is a
modeling of . . . 1) the data as a string of code and 2) the instantaneous context of the data as an
endpoint in its evolution. Language and meaning are mutually degenerate and so there can be no
formal or causal relationship between instantiations of each. The phenomena of linguistic
expression and interpretation are thus properly understood as transcendental functions of mind.

There are two distinct kinds of uncertainty, one classical and the other, quantum mechanical.
There must then be two distinct kinds of information since information is formally defined as a
reduction in uncertainty. In the case of classical physics, information represents a reduction in
ones uncertainty about what exists but which possesses a determinate state though one which is
presently unknown. In the case of quantum physics, information constitutes a reduction in
uncertainty in a mind-independent sense.

The paradigm shift in physics going from classical to quantum mechanical involves a peculiar
switching of roles of observables and uncertainties. In classical physics, uncertainties in
observables are attributable to observer ignorance and so possess no ontological status while
observables are considered to be observer-independent. In quantum mechanics, the reverse of
this is true. Quantum uncertainties in physical observables are real, while the values of quantum
physical observables are ideal, or mind-dependent. This reminds me of the switch of denotative
and connotative roles in dreams.

Quantum uncertainties are defined in terms of the probabilities deduced from quantum amplitudes.
The Bell inequality says that the quantum and classical probabilities of the spins of two decay
products of a single particle are
1
/
3
,
1

, and , , , respectively. Proof of the inequivalence
of the quantum and classical uncertainties is given by experimental confirmation of the Bell
inequality of the above quantum and classical probabilities of two particle composite spins.

Consciousness is a phenomenon of the fullest integration of the individuals experience as well as
his identity as such, and so itself cannot itself be contained within his experience. This
integration encompasses the synthesis of all dual opposite categories and this process of
integration transcends, therefore, all formal categories of description by which the process might
otherwise have been formally understood and explained. Consciousness therefore seems to
occupy a strategic position at the interface within duality. This seems particularly true in the
case of the theorized-to-exist interface between classical and quantum worlds.

The fact of the multiplicity of consciousness along with the unlimited evolvability of
consciousness articulation implies the fundamental multiplicity of the unity of the real.

Causality is infrastructure at its most general. The infrastructure facilitating causality is
indifferent to that which utilizes it. The tool is passive to the hands of the tool user. The causal
infrastructure cannot be turned to for answers concerning the origins of what propagates through it.

The interpenetration of meanings stems from their intrinsic uncertainty and lies behind the
evolution of meanings. Everything develops out of its penumbra of uncertainty.

Freely willed actions can in a sense alter the past though without generating a time paradox via
selective Psi function collapse. Technology is the constructing of an interface with a preexistent
infrastructure interface for facilitating the effectiveness of Mans will.

Must we assume that the past is a closed system? God knows which choices we will not think of
that otherwise would lead to creation of a time paradox.

Reprocessing Hebrew passages through re-parsing them iteratively theoretically could yield an
infinite number of distinct meaningful messages, as well as an infinite number of ways of
expressing a finite (or infinite?) number of messages.

Miracles dont have to involve a suspension of physical law, as each miracle can be easily
accommodated through judicious preparation of initial and boundary conditions, e.g., Joshuas

What reason does physics provide us for assuming that the past is a closed system?

Communication produces random products within a determined set of possible meanings.

Representations guide the communicants participation in the dialectic of the communication,
though nothing is literally transmitted between them.

Although data may be transmitted at the speed of light because they possess no inertia,
information, being data placed within a context with which it is in continual interaction in order
that it keep updated as current information, is dependent for its movement through the information
network infrastructure. This data is updated by the network, all the while it is responding to
inputs it receives elsewhere some of these inputs undoubtedly being important to the networks
decision concerning the proper interpretation of the data. So transmission of information
through the network is an effect mediated via the dynamics of the networks interpretation of its
data. In this way a packet of data must traverse continuously transforming contexts during the
course of their respective information being transmitted, and so must possess mass due to the
finite response time of the networks processing of data. So it appears at this stage that time is
more fundamental than inertia as a dynamical parameter. This can only be the case if time or
temporality is mediated via nonlocal processes. Otherwise, changes in the network are
dependent upon the speed of propagation of influences through the network in which the
influences are themselves independent of the data of the network.

What is nothing more than the territory that must be crossed in returning to ones home is itself a

History exhibits the synchronistic consistency of a dream.

Atrophy of morphological and physiological structures under the relent of specific selective
pressures is the mechanism by which these structures become more easily retrofitted into other
structures currently being selected for. Occasionally, natural selection fails to improvise a new
use for an atrophied structure as in the case of the human appendix.

There must be some means for the environment to suggest to the genome certain lines of
experimentation that take into account higher orders of environmental change, analogous to the
relationship of nth order derivatives (rates of change). This might be easier to understand in
terms of the gene frequencies of population genetics. The higher the gene frequency, the greater
the number of instances of that particular gene that are exposed to environmental factors
contributing to mutation frequency. But higher gene frequency is also an index of fitness, which
worked in the direction of preserving and increasing the frequency of the particular gene.

A metaphor or metaphorical description of a thing points of some abstract features of a thing in
terms of these same features that are possessed by some other thing that the audience is already
quite familiar with.

From the vantage point of consciousness, the world is a novelty conserving system. Novelty is
not conserved in a system of representation of any complexity hat cannot adapt to the evolution of
that which it represents.

You dont need to understand quantum theory to grasp the idea of parallel universes any poor
schmuck who chose the woman he loved over the woman who loved him understands the necessity
of there being alternate universes.

Mutual interference of the frequency spectra of multiple time uncertainties give us discrete events
in time similar to wave packets.

Data has no mass but information does have mass.

Time advances in two fundamentally distinct but intimately related ways. One after the normal
fashion, in terms of the advancing of functions of a ticking clock, the other through a kind of
crystallization process in which the time and energy uncertainties shift in such a way that past
events become ever more determinate. The process of human recollecting of such past events of
which we were once a part accelerates this quantum crystallization of Heisenberg uncertainty of
past events. This is the Heisenberg uncertainty analogue to the collapse of the wavefunction
triggered by the consciousness of human observers, which engenders a determinate eigenstate with
respect to some quantum mechanical observer.

Might physical time be integrally structured such that the temporal integration exhibited by
subjectively experienced time is not entirely emergent, but partly derivative of the underlying
physical temporal structure?
@$
Might the integral nature of subjective time be a property of
transcendental consciousness rather than merely of the play of forms within the individuals
conscious states? Might there be an infrastructure of fundamental process (of transcendental
consciousness) that is shared between eternally preexistent and separate individual
consciousnesses?

The genetic toolkit concept is part and parcel with the vanishing likelihood of there emerging
any new phyla over the course of future evolution on Earth. The evolution of latent genetic
information embodied in heretofore-untried gene sequences is conducted on a competitive field
within which gene expression remains unknown. The level at which natural selection operates
within this competitive field is that on which chemical stability and compatibility is optimized.
Gradually, mechanisms of gene expression evolved which resulted in amplification of the
differences in complex macromolecules by amplifying interactivity of these molecules with their
chemical environment.

Species adaptation to their changing environment is analogous to the evolution of an organisms
immune system in that structures that evolve under heavy selective pressures persist as integral
features of the organism though at a decreasing frequency within the population. Moreover, as
many generations pass without recurrence of the original selective pressures that shaped the
evolution of these structures, the expression of these structures gradually becomes less marked,
i.e., atrophy. This response of the species to the disappearance of some threat to its survival
would make perfect sense if it were generally true that as more and more time passes without the
species calling upon some genetic endowment, the less likely that a later challenge to these
organisms shall be similar to the original one. Is there any relationship between the rate of
environmental change to the rates of evolution and devolution, i.e., atrophy of heretofore selected
for features of the organism?

An example of design that perhaps bears special attention here is that pointed up in the following
examples. Suppose that the human ribosome underwent an arbitrary mutation that caused it to
interpret genetic base pair sequences differently than heretofore? Would this difference in how
the ribosome interprets genetic code have to be a systematic one, so long as the ?

Consciousness gives us a better capability for gathering intelligence on a potentially threatening
physical environment than would have been afforded by an integrated set of instincts, regardless of
the complexity of their integration. This suggests that consciousness is not merely a function of
logical complexity, storage capacity and processing speed, all of which perhaps being necessary
for its minimal functioning, but consciousness is also a function of its capacity for meaningfully
connecting to alterity beyond that posed by a purely physical environment. In fact, the essence
of consciousness might be the capacity it affords the organism of connecting the part of itself that
is not yet present (within the physical environment) with other elements not present or yet present
in its physical environment. Though we might well wonder what possible material benefit there
is to the organism in its being able to do this, unless natural selection and the struggle for
existence between organisms indeed takes place within a larger arena than that defined by
classical biology and physics. There seems no reason not to suppose that at least some of the
conditions shaping organismic evolution must be grounded within uniquely quantum mechanical
processes.

So-called free will might have been a stealth or evasive strategy developed by some organisms
to frustrate attempts by other organisms to anticipate their actions and responses. And
consciousness might well have evolved out of the organisms having hit upon a method of hard
quantum encrypting its subroutines for perceiving, responding, and planning actions within, the
physical environment where it competed with other organisms for resources, mates, social
dominance, etc. The coherent quantum states containing the organisms encrypted strategies,
ideally, should itself have been endowed with an environmental sensitivity. However, such
quantum superposition states would be able to detect any interaction with it by another such state
attempting to access its cache of coded information. Neither could any such quantum encrypted
information be copied (
@$
more on the distinction between copying a quantum state and cutting,
i.e., teleporting such a quantum state) without provoking detection. So the only organism
having access to its own quantum encrypted information would be the organism itself, clearly a
case of what has been called by idealist and phenomenalist philosophers, privileged access.
Such information is known by acquaintance by the organism that originally created the
encrypted quantum state. This is perhaps just the subjective state of awareness of the organism,
namely, its privileged access to its global quantum hard-encrypted state. Knowledge by
description might be analogously understood as knowledge of the boundary conditions alone of
the wave function, rather than knowledge of the actual or observer-independent state of the
system. The organisms awareness of its subjective state may be a naturally occurring example
of what is termed non-demolition measurement of the quantum observables of the organisms
quantum state.

Were the actions of a conscious individual in observing a quantum mechanical system physically
caused, the observer and the observed would constitute quantum mechanical subsystems of a
larger such system comprising both systems, undergoing a temporal evolution consistent with the
temporal evolution of the larger system. A further implication of observer and observed being
components of a single quantum mechanical system would be a failure of the observers act of
observation upon the system to provoke collapse of the external systems wavefunction. It is
precisely because the observers act of observation cannot be anticipated by the vacuum
fluctuation spectrum sustaining the quantum system under observation, because this observational
act breaches the system by introducing possibilities of quantum states not rationally consistent
with those comprising the observed systems probability density function, that the system
undergoes collapse.

This reminds us of one recent theory of consciousness evolutionary advantageousness. In the
theory it was proposed that consciousness conferred an advantage upon social organisms in two
important ways, one competitive, the other, cooperative. This advantage afforded by an
organisms consciousness was primarily through the distinct capacity it gave the organism of
simulating how the physical environment and psychological state of other organisms appeared to
that organism, from its distinct viewpoint. Self-consciousness might have arisen through a 2
nd

iteration of what might be termed perspectival projection. For example, rudimentary
self-consciousness might develop from applying a dim recollection of a simulation during the
moment when the organism finds itself in a situation similar to that of that other organism for
which it had evolved this simulation. Presumably, still higher states of awareness might be open
to us if this projection of perspective or simulation of the others state is carried to 3
rd
or higher
iterations. One might wonder how higher states of awareness not of the state of another human
being, but of the surrounding environment might be reached in analogous manner.

Resonance is a dynamical feedback that is set up between two heretofore distinct coherent systems
in which information is exchanged, though perhaps only in terms of integrated sets of
intentionality, i.e., no actual transmission of any thing between the two systems, just mutual
influence of each upon the others means of processing internal and external inputs.

Self-organizing properties of biological molecules meant genes confronting the demands of the
environment at ascending levels of complexity through adaptation of genetic ideas to new contexts
rather than invention of altogether new genes.

It might be presumed that if mutation were not random, but coupled somehow to the matrix of
environmental conditions, e.g., cybernetically, through feedback loops, that this would necessarily
facilitate the evolution of biological complexity. Certainly too much such direct feedback
between the process of mutation and the environment might produce either an unstable cybernetic
control or short circuit the necessity of genes and gene sequences being expressed.

This is similar to the fact that an infinite vocabulary is not needed in order to communicate
amongst us within a potentially infinite number of x-ological contexts. Information is a
structuring of the boundaries between domains of uncertainty.

Quantum probability amplitudes are always defined in terms of classically describable boundary
conditions of spatiotemporal coordinates and/or momentum-energy that are assumed to be known
to arbitrary precision.

In other words, the quantities, <Q> and <Q
2
> that go into the definition of /\Q carry the
unquestioned assumption of determinate eigenstates of the system in question, which in turn rests
upon classically determinate boundary conditions upon Psi. It appears from this that not even
the Heisenberg uncertainties in Q can be then deduced with (classically physical) certainty.

The Heisenberg uncertainties in the systems observables may presumably be statistically
determined through a series of measurements, however, measurements in which the state of the
system is inevitably altered.

The many worlds interpretation of QM suggests that, since the collapse of Psi for person A shall
not necessarily, in fact, only rarely, collapse in the same manner as it shall for person B, A and B
must occupy separate parallel universes.

The quantum uncertainties in the classical boundary conditions of the wavefunction, from which
the Heisenberg uncertainties in the quantum observables of this wavefunction are determined, lead
to a fractal geometric structuring of these uncertainties.

Perhaps knowledge only really need be unified provided that the knower, as well as, knowers as
such, are themselves integrally whole. Here the disunity of the world consists solely in the fact
of the plurality of subjective beings, or, still more, the underlying dynamics of the basis of this
plurality of subjectivity, i.e., knowers, that is, definers and possessors of knowledge (about the
world).

If mind and brain do interact, as they must, then human consciousness and brain processes, or
perhaps just the physical processes upon which brain processes depend, would have to possess the
same underlying ground for their respective dynamics.

At some stage, the analogous similarity of one consciousness to another must give way to their
non-formalizable differences. If one consciousness as such differs from another in only a
non-formalizable manner, then each consciousness is formally identical to any other. This is
only to be expected since what is called suchness is also formlessness.

It is only through the use of metaphor that the denotative may be properly grasped. The
reduction of the subjective is always from smaller to larger, from lower to higher, that is,
reduction is effected always in terms of consideration of ever larger or deeper contexts.

Coherence is mediated by bosonic (exchange) particles that are manifestations of 3-momentum
vacuum fluctuations, i.e., /\p
j
. So the greater the coherence of a structure, the greater is /\P
j
, the
smaller is /\E and, hence, the larger will be /\t, the characteristic lifetime of the structure.
Coherence is a manifestation of self-organization, resonance, on the other hand, is a manifestation
of the happenstance of propinquity. The Anthropic cosmological principle implies that it takes
forever for a hypercomplex structure to come into being and even when it does come into being, by
chance, cannot maintain itself in existence for any appreciable length of time.

Without the operation of at least some randomness within a system, no more than one individual
(or individual state) is open to the system.

Chance becomes regulated in a system in which novelty is no longer possible.

Indeterminacy in the system means that the system still possesses choice of local symmetry.

The quantized redshifts, i.e., expansion velocities of distant galaxies may be explained in terms of
harmonic quantum tunneling of matter particles through a hyperspherical potential barrier.

Abstraction as a mental activity has two distinct varieties, depending upon the causal structure of
the field subject to its operation. In a bottom-up organized causal structure, mind is external to
its field subject to its abstract thought. In a top-down causal structure, mind is internal to its field
of abstract thinking. IN the former, out of an external field of relationships, internal structures
are produced, in the latter, the converse of this is true.

In the first case, external order is transduced into internal, in the later, the converse is the case.

The phenomena within an individual conscious mind cannot be public observables and so are not
located within spacetime, i.e., they are nonlocal. Similarly, the processes essential to the
integrity of the individual consciousness are not themselves manifest to this consciousness.

We said that no determinable substance or quantity is transmitted in a verbal communication.
One develops language through reflecting to a reactive environment of mysteriousness others (or,
perhaps, others that are wholly taken for granted at this early stage that of pre-individuation in
which recognition of both self and other remains still inchoate) what are yet relatively meaningless
vocalized forms. There may be a fundamental distinction between the topology of this
prelinguistic interaction conceived as between self and closed system vs. self and open system.
In the closed system case, the self will encompass its own sociolinguistic environment within its
own ground. In the open system case the self-other distinction is nondegenerate.

The commensurate nature of the common language may only be maintained within a collection of
speakers through a dialectical process of continual reconciliation between and among themselves
of would-be conventionally agreed upon meanings. Perception is then linguistically structured
though the environment thus perceived is itself not linguistically structured. So corrections and
adjustments must continually be made in linguistic structure of cognition resulting in the
development of internally inconsistent linguistic structures that can only be rectified in
combination with those of other similar perceivers/language speakers. In this way, the
subjectivity of the experimenter effect is overcome and objective knowledge more fully
approached.

The preliminary materialism of which Eccles is so understandably critical make no more sense
than the claim that the phenomenon of the quantum mechanical wavefunction will finally be
adequately explained once physicists discover the correct set of basis (eigen) functions in terms of
which it might be properly expressed.

Only by being witness to the event of ones consciousness forming itself from more fundamental
processes, only by being in possession of this aesome personal experience could one ever be said
to also possess an explanation of ones own consciousness. Of course, such an experience is
intrinsically impossible should the phenomenon of ones personal consciousness be organized
from the bottom-up. In other words, ones consciousness must really be just one among many
possible states of some consciousness transcending entity which in reality must be the self, that is,
ones true self. It is commonly said by practitioners of transcendental meditation that the
particular contents of consciousness can serve only to distract the self from the authentic
experience of its consciousness in its pure state. But can one really experience a state of
consciousness without an object, that is, pure consciousness? TM practitioners insist not only
that this is possible, but that this is the very object of the practice of transcendental meditation.





The coherent state aggrandizes itself through its ability to manufacture degeneracy. The sum of
theoretically possible states will naturally coalesced into a much-reduced set of overdetermined
states. This means continuous transformations of these substantive forms are no longer possible.
This may be due to the underlying quantum/digital nature of these states as individual but subject
to processes with partial quanta as inputs.

To have been a mystery is to remain so. Consciousness cannot be an appearance and so is not a
spacetime phenomenon. Microtubule action of computation is one with their conformational
transformations. Here the running and implementation of the microtubules quantum
computational program is identical.


It seems necessary for self-organization capacity to be a conserved quantity within a closed
system. Emergence within closed systems may be accounted for by material, energy and
information entering the system through its boundaries (it is not necessary that the boundaries
which define a closed system here to be understood in terms of a spatial metaphor). Emergence
of order within so-called radically open systems cannot, of course, be understood so simply in this
way.

There lies within the bony carapace of any institutionalized faith an inner, living substance the
essence of which is a variant of transcendental metaphysics. What is the relationship of
disobedience to rebellion to evil?

One sure way to escape causal determinism is if no unique state (of the underlying embedding
substrate) can be engendered/determined through a cobbling together of already defined elements.
The coming into being of a unique system requires that altogether new possibilities of abstraction
into elements also come into being.

Some resonant states cannot be engendered without the fact of certain other resonances having
already occurred within the system. This points up the truth that the actual is never simply the
transporting of structure across a perfectly transparent interface.

A question here is whether this interface is importantly similar to that which lies between the
conscious and unconscious mind. But resonance and coherence require some parallel though
inequivalent underlying functioning of ground/context to effect/sustain these.

Collapse of Psi and vacuums inability to anticipate (vacuum compensation for free will acts must
be outside causal continuum, i.e., spacetime) alteration in Psis boundary conditions intimately

Only the formless can appreciate form, as does mankind.

Some dismiss the question, why does the Universe exist? by supposing that no explanation is
needed because the Universe has always existed. This type of answer is as good as any other
where conserved quantities are concerned, but is no good for dismissing the question of the origin
of unconserved quantities. Quite simply, unconserved physical quantities necessarily involve a
temporal uncertainty and so demand an origin in time and hence some process responsible for this
origin.

Its funny how this inversion of the literal and the metaphorical that typically occurs at the interface
of consciousness ad the unconscious can itself become inverted once more rather than simply
reversed or undone, resulting in the expanded potential for metaphoricity of the literal as a result of
a more thorough minded extension of the literal to the realm of what for lack of a better term we
should call the meaning dimension of the hyperliteral. We find that what we thought were rather
disparate processes were really only modularly separate within some more unified process at a
deeper level (along some axis or dimension or other.)

This seeming innate recursiveness of consciousness may be due to 1) conscious attentions attempt
to flatten the hierarchy of the levels of abstraction and 2) . . .

The contrast between the literal and the metaphorical is a false one. All description is
metaphorical. The definition of metaphoricity is not merely relative to the alleged absolute
nature of the literal. Both the metaphorical and the literal are realized as coequal and relative,
neither having precedence over the other.

Can only states be copied or teleported or can the same be possible as well, for the systems
possessing these states? Is every system just a state of some deeper, more unified system, in
other words?

The King of France is a tyrant. The above is a proposition concerning a nonexistent entity. It

The breaking of the spacetime symmetry of the quantum vacuum by mass is not the fundamental
or absolute symmetry breaking that requires the engendering of a gauge boson. This situation is
quite unlike that where a broken global symmetry causes the creation of a gauge boson, which, by
being exchanged between splintered symmetry domains, results in the restoring locally of the
symmetry that was broken globally, e.g., the creation of the Higgs boson in the theory of
electroweak symmetry breaking. Another reason that the breaking of the vacuum spacetime
symmetry by mass is not fundamental is that mass is not an irreducible, conserved physical
quantity, but is a phenomenon produced by the peculiar manner in which the components of the
total (mass-energy + vacuum-energy) fluctuation stress-momentum-energy tensors mutually
interact.

Prior to the breaking of the spacetime symmetry of the vacuum by mass, the spectrum of
momentum fluctuations within the vacuum is just that defined in terms of the spectrum of virtual
transitions allowed between the discrete energy levels of this global vacuum state. This is
exactly the situation we should expect if the quantum vacuum can correctly be modeled as a four
dimension array of coupled harmonic oscillators, i.e., as a four dimensional crystalline latticework.
The additional 3-momentum fluctuations, over and above those permitted in the symmetric state of
this vacuum, correspond to those transition energies of the modified vacuum lattice which are now
forbidden by the state of broken symmetry.

After this symmetry is broken, the spectrum of vacuum 3-momentum fluctuations becomes denser
while that of the vacuums energy fluctuations, i.e., fluctuations in the imaginary component of the
vacuums 4-momentum, becomes attenuated. Were this vacuum two dimensional, this change
in symmetry could have been effected by a simple rotation of the fluctuation momentum-energy
vector, i.e., a 2nd rank tensor would have been required to describe the rotation, but not the end
state, which could be adequately described in terms of a 2-vector. And the dynamics of this
rotation of momentum-energy within this 2d spacetime can be modeled in terms of the exchange of
spin-1 gauge bosons. However, in four-dimensional spacetime, a 2nd rank tensor is required to
describe the vacuums end state - that post symmetry-breaking. Moreover, a 4th rank tensor is
necessary to describe this transformation of the vacuum caused by the breaking of its symmetry, as
mentioned earlier. Consequently, a transformation of the fluctuation stress-momentum-energy
tensor can be described in terms of time-varying probability current densities of both spin-1 vector
gauge bosons and spin-2 gauge bosons.


The question arises that if the fluctuations in the momentum and energy in the particles of which
the mass is composed are independent of these fluctuations of the local vacuum state, then
interpreting either set of fluctuations as the Heisenberg uncertainties in momentum and energy and
the remaining set of fluctuations as the fluctuation terms of these two quantities, then given that
these two sets of fluctuations, matter and vacuum, are appropriately correlated, nonzero
expectation values result for the momentum and energy for this matter. More specifically,
negatively correlated sets of fluctuations will produce nonzero expectation values of the
momentum or energy and positively correlated sets of fluctuations will produce zero expectation
values of the momentum or energy. An important question here is: how are vacuum
momentum fluctuations related to vacuum energy fluctuations (within the same spacetime
neighborhood)?

If after the fashion of a kind of quantum entanglement process, we suppose information to possess
memory, then information becomes an unconserved quantity. The world isnt really made of

in order to be manifest.

Coherence requires overdetermination, that is, degeneracy of the psi-functions energy as well as
the converse of this, the Heisenberg uncertainty of Psis (that is, the systems) energy.

The notion of pure representation is but an abstraction, possessing no correspondence in the realm

Representations, if they are supposed to have a real reference, must have some effect upon the

We must make a threefold distinction between chance, order (what is bound to happen), and that
by which order is brought into being that itself possesses no order. This last is itself commonly
thought to be chance or its operation. But if chance can be defined and hen analyzed and shown
to possess order itself, then the order of both chance and ordered (bound) structures are what are in
need of explanation. Again, the source of this explanation of order, in its greatest generality, as
well as the source of this order, i.e., no complete description. This source would best be alluded
to as the absolute unlimited.

McKennas notion of novelty conserving engines driving an accelerating evolutionary process
of complexification, in which recontextualization at higher levels, extracts information which
emerges as having been latent in fluctuation phenomena (noise or uncertainty) associated with
earlier evolving processes occupying lower levels. On this approach evolution is better
understood as a transactional process of the frequency domain in which higher frequency
phenomena of an evolving system are exploited for their latent (or potential) order progressively
with respect to the dynamics of the system over ever larger time scales.

In many cases, the differences in the initial or boundary conditions of the system are smaller than
the quantum uncertainties in the system variables subject to these conditions so that the character
of the widely divergent possible later states of the system that result must be largely attributed to
the structure of the quantum uncertainty itself.

Psi collapse occurs also in the instance where superposition can no longer be supported because a
difference in the quality of the system is bumped up against, as it were, by the superposition state,
i.e., a change of basis + excitation of selected eigenstates of the new basis is incommensurable
with the previous state of the system described in terms of the earlier basis. Here we see that
description and quantum reality are not fully mutually independent.

Locality is an abstraction from nonlocality. The dual distinction of local vs. nonlocal seems
more or less parallel to that of physical vs. mental. The Planck scale of spacetime represents the
event horizon dividing the local and nonlocal realms. It might be worth supposing that the event
horizon of a classical black hole represents a similar division between the local and nonlocal. In
the former case, gravitational or general relativistic effects become important at the quantum scale
whereas in the later quantum effects become so at the scale of classically describable objects.

Evil may be understood as failure to submit to the bonds of Karma along with refusal to work off
this Karma. But this is an example of merely relative evil.

This notion of metaphysical presence can be grasped through an appreciation of how subjectively
enculturated intuitions are adapted to the intersubjective world of discourse within a transactional
rather than transmissional model of communication, one that relies heavily upon the faculty of
human suggestibility. The idea that information, like energy, classically understood, might be a
conserved quantity, could prove to be an incoherent notion, much like other concepts associated
with that of information, e.g., its transmission, its being processed or reprocessed, its being
spatiotemporally coordinated, etc. Then the idea of informations nonconservation, rather than
its being absorbed or emitted by a hidden reservoir, makes imagination the context of the real.

An example of a deficit of metaphysical presence for instance may be when a friend repeats a
long-winded story without realizing tha they had already related the week or month before.
Information processing in the absence of total information.

Topology seems to underlie the fundamental nature of the distinction of time and space.
Copying certain systems in space is therefore fundamentally different from copying them in time.
Different time slices of the same system reveal the same system in different states. Even another
system created at another position in simultaneity, one that more closely approximates the form
and function of the system of the first time slice, is nevertheless a less good copy of this system
than the very much more transformed original system of the second time slice. This shows
what we already knew that there can be no abstract feature or basis for continuity. (See the
relations of consciousness to the principle of indistinguishability of identical quantum particles)


Because the endeavor of love is so commonly successful, it must turn out that to love is to project
ones desires onto the other who accommodates these projections by legitimizing them, usually
through or as a byproduct of the others attempts to have their own projections validated.

Is the identity of a system only realized through this systems state?

Free will must involve the capacity for going, in Alan Watts words, against the grain of the
Universe. For this to be possible, the ground of the individuals being must be both independent
of and capable of subduing the ground of being of the Universe.

We all, with what I like to call instinctive intuition, distinguish the state of death from that of never
having been born (existed). Now clearly both of these are a case of nonexistence of not
existing at all. But, you see, we just feel somehow that not existing any more is to in some sense
qualify an otherwise absolute nonexistence. Having lived a human life, even one that once
ended, passes out of existence forever, makes a difference to the sum totality of the real. The
question here, of course, is why we all seem to share this almost purest of illogical intuitions.

So we more or less all of us believe in essence that the act of our existence is irreversible and
somehow leaves an irrevocable trace upon all that shall come after us, or at least this trace shall
(that of our having once existed) always persist despite the effect of all of the novelty accumulating
throughout the rest of time. Can we rally expect this trace or imprint of our having lived a human
life to succeed in so tenaciously preserving itself in the way weve described without its possessing
a knack for survival for watching out for itself, as it were, developed to far greater perfection than
we ourselves possessed while yet alive? It now appears our secretly held intuition that our
individual existence fractures absolute nonbeing through and through (this image of a fracturing is
much more appropriate when considering th eeffect upon nonbeing of human existence,
collectively), is equivalent to a tacit belief, not in continued survival of a mere ego, but in
transcendence, through the death of the limited self, of the nonexistence we had prior to our first
act of existing (conception, etc.), which is to say, strictly logically speaking, of course, that by the
death of our human selves we transcend nonexistence. The phenomenon of consciousness is just
the very registering of changes within itself that are heretofore irreducible to elements already
ready to hand and therefore must be present to hand. This points up a commonly overlooked
basis to Heideggers dual distinction between gear and representational phenomena.

Distinctly quantum phenomena are characterized by the appearance and orchestration of
physically measurable effects for which, in a classical physical sense, no cause may be ascribed.
The underlying unity of quantum phenomena seems to be causality without causation. This
reminds us of the unmoved mover or primum mobile, i.e., God.

The intricacy of the relationships between structures discovered through experimental probing is
in large part a function of the manner in which we have laid down our system of abstract
descriptive categories.

Heres the strange thing, feedback is necessary to consciousness manifestation of its structures.
Will is necessary for the structures to develop which are able to manifest structured consciousness.
Paradoxically, all of the structurings of consciousness are also manifestations of its intrinsic
structure. There is infinite reality within consciousness.

Consciousness is behind the projection of forms into the Platonic realm rather than this implication
being in the other direction.

Causal overdetermination, i.e., quantum mechanics degeneracy is naturally occurring error

How are they related?

Given the information density of the human body/brain why is then the inertial mass of my brain
only 1.6 kg? The speed of propagation of the vacuum information field must be effectively
infinite/ instantaneous so that an information dense system does not have to drag an
information-laden vacuum field behind it upon its being accelerated.
@$
Of course, if the
propagation speed of the vacuum information field is finite though much larger then c it should
be experimentally possible to measure a small departure from the relativistic mass-velocity
relationship for the system under large accelerations.

The computing capacity of conventional and quantum computers possessing as Turing machines
N distinct circuit elements and hence 2
N
distinct accessible states and identical central processor
unit speeds differ in computing power by a ratio of N:2
N
. The equivalence principle would seem
to dictate that the reconfiguration of vacuum field stress-momentum-energy be mediated in two
distinct modes, one local, the other, nonlocal. The relative activity of each distinct mode of
vacuum reconfiguration is matched to the mode of change in state, e.g., of real particles and fields
such as in the case of arbitrary accelerations of masses, to which this vacuum must adjust.

Impossibility of movement relative to the vacuum momentum-energy fluctuation field is always
orthogonal to the 3-momentum of an inertial frame, i.e., to the 3-momentum of any uniformly
moving body.



Of course, if gravitation is not a manifestation of absolute quantities of stress-momentum-energy,
but of some spatiotemporal variation thereof. Spacetime and stress-momentum-energy varies in
accordance with the Heisenberg uncertainties in these quantities.

Displaced indigenous individual is a much more general concept than is usually recognized.

Umbringen literally translated means to bring around, i.e., to awaken someone whose been asleep

The more intuition and insight that a text requires in order to understand it, the less stringent need
be the requirement of precise transmission of the literal body of the text in order that the original
intent of the text be understood. This brings up the notion of the distinction, letter of the law vs.
spirit of the law in a more philosophical view. If one thinks about this, this, it only appears
reasonable that the greater the metaphorical content of a text/oral tradition, then the less bound is
transmission of the text to its particular manner or form by which it is expressed, and the more
dependent does transmission depend on a shared, that is, generally commensurate context
between speaker and listener/writer and reader. The degree of contextual degeneracy gets the
limit on the ratio of literal to metaphorical transmission error sensitivity.

We may think of the metaphorical as the Fourier transform of the literal. Mutually incompatible
observables in quantum mechanics are related to each other as Fourier/Inverse Fourier transforms
are related.

The precision of the metaphor is manifest in the uncertainty with which it can be expressed.

Reconstruction of Bible from early Church Fathers quotations from it is provable without
consideration of order of reconnecting the quotes.

It seems necessary for two causal chains, intersecting by chance, to be contained within a common
space for merely a single dimension of time to suffice in parametrizing the evolving state of the
composite system. What sort of temporality do we have in which a nonconserved fluctuation
field merely mediates, but does not interfere with, the propagation of some causal influence?
And what kind of temporality do we then have should the fluctuation field actually participate in
the causal propagation these otherwise merely support? Since the event of the beginning of time
cannot be included within the timeline it begins, must we then interpret the beginning of time as an
event within meta-, that is, a two- or multidimensional time?

There must be some faculty of consciousness that has been somehow suppressed, the one that
should otherwise permit the human person to know himself and the significance of human
existence. Philosophy and mysticism are examples of the sublimation of this hidden faculty that
is prevented from more direct operation. But evidently there have been individuals few in
number to be sure that have been speckled throughout the ages who have caught onto life as a kind
of cosmic confidence trick.

When a quantum observation is made a new connection is being made between observer and
system even though the two were already prior to this dynamically coupled (through the so-called
nonlocally connected quantum correlation field). It seems that if we attempt to probe the
properties deeply enough we end up inadvertently more and more tinkering with the very same
mechanism by which the mind constitutes itself, if one was tinkering at the constitutive level of
ones own individual consciousness.

Secretly, in the minds eye we picture the randomness of the so-called quantum jumps against
the backdrop of our own imagination and so cannot escape an implicit understanding of the
random of uncaused nature of these jumps as being merely epistemological in nature.
Nonlocality is to consciousness as quantum transitions are to freely willed actions. Quantum
fluctuations are akin to the chatter and noise of the unquiet mind. Quantum tunneling seems
very akin to the operation of intuitive insight (the ability to draw conclusions in the absence of all
of the facts required by a merely rational intellect to reach a conclusion similar to causal
determination in the absence of a sufficient reason, i.e., without all necessary causes operating or
being present.

. . . in the human brain, the amplification of quantum freedom happens via means that preserve
the appearance, at our day to day scale, that we, and our universe, are completely mechanical, c.f.,
The Quantum Brain, Satinover, Wiley & Sons, Inc.

This is just the type of arrangement by which we might expect the embodiment of conscious
beings to be effected within coherent systems of matter and energy.

At some stage in the progression from the subatomic to the cellular scale (or, perhaps, a little
beyond this) a shift occurs from quantum computer-like operations classical digital computer-like
operations (though these may be thought to be simulated on the brains neural network). This
change in spatial scale temporal, also, when characteristic lifetimes and frequencies of the
different scales are compared, amounts to our having an important redefinition of entropy forced
upon us. These two, distinct definitions of entropy, the one, quantum, on the other, classical,
must be (able to be demonstrated to be) exactly equivalent to one another. For otherwise we are
faced with a stark paradox, i.e., what happens to the truly colossal quantity of quantum
computational information that must be encoded in the myriad superposed quantum states within
the brain at its atomic and molecular level of description? Perhaps another way to have asked this
question is, where does the quantum computational information content go when the brains
quantum coherent states decohere?

Human suggestibility and the tendency of human imagination to be captured by novel and
contrived symbols/icons. Prior to a certain watershed point in history, God did not deal with
humankind on an individual basis unless one was a prophet, that is, an instrument through which
God was to speak to His People. Individuality was an adaptation that acted as a break against
lemming-like behavior of the clan/tribe as a whole that was potentially catastrophic, and the
suggestibility of social groups is the evolutionary compliment to this important adaptation.

Receptor theory of drug action suggests that the peculiar psychoactive properties of drugs is only
triggered or enabled by the drugs completing of a circuit in the brain that was already in place,
with the only missing link to complete the circuit being supplied by a certain facet of a
stereospecific macromolecule.

Chance may account for the fortuitous emergence of a favorable gene sequence but not the process
by which such sequences are sustained, if indeed, they are intrinsically stable.

The theory of punctuated equilibrium requires that a preexistent mode structure be in place so that
transformative changes in the genome that take the macromolecule from one stable, coherent
structure to another are properly enabled. This preexistent mode structure, though susceptible to
adaptive evolutionary process

Fate is rather like causal determinism that doesnt care about how it gets from point A to point B.
In other words, fate is determinism of ends, classical, causal determinism is a determinism of
means. This suggests the distinction of determinism by the past vs. determinism by some set of
conditions in the future. Underdetermination, causal determination, and overdetermination are
characterized as chance, necessity and fate.

Whenever the brains state gets close enough to that required to realize a desirable thought, it
quantum tunnels to this state. Perhaps synchronicity in the course of human events can be
explained through an appeal to a quantum through an appeal to a quantum tunneling like
mechanism.

A deterministic process that produces random behavior must be intelligently directed.

The metaphorical import of historical events seems to imply that history was composed by
someone.

Curled up time dimension is the time during the toggling of a given pixel, i.e., spacetime

Death would be a disruption of some underlying fabric of reality, creating a discontinuity it is the
encroachment of otherness that is the unseen part of the self and which underlies the familiarity
that is the socially constructed self.

Instead of information (data) being distributed spatially within the brain, it might be Fourier
transformed into a momentum spectrum. Might the same be true of some information being
Fourier transformed into an energy spectrum. The Fourier transformation of information may
account for the holographic nature of the brains memory as well as, perhaps, the nonlocal nature
of this information, c.f., audio lecture, Our Nonlinear World, in which Chuck Missler elaborates
upon a quotation.

You cant allude to a cultural element that hasnt yet been imagined and the context for which, still
more, remains far into the future. This is the nonlinearity and interiority of culture. Cultural
elements are the products of a reprocessing of new material cultural elements that is superimposed
upon the backdrop of the permutational combination, montage, pastiche, parody, etc. of these
elements for the reprocessing of these cultural elements.

Non Sequitur is to semantics what contradiction is to syntax.

Evolution is a creative response to the imposed boundary conditions. Forms manifesting from
out of formlessness reminds us of quantum expectation values being constructed from Heisenberg
uncertainties, causality from correlation of fluctuations.

Boundary conditions and their particular configuration as historical artifact requires explanation,
the chaotic dynamism upon which these boundary conditions are imposed require none. Does
personal consciousness represent a restriction or qualification of consciousness as such?

Since physical laws only describe the relationships between classes of physical entities, it would
appear, initially, that the so-called singularities represented by black holes by virtue of comprising
a class of entities, should be subject to physical law description of their states and the dynamics of
these states. But the region delimited by a black holes event horizon cannot be experimentally
probed. This is because, of course, mass and energy can enter the hole, but nothing leaves from
the interior of the hole, except that which is generated at it surface via the Hawking radiative
process.

The controlled and staged unfolding of epiphenomena doesnt constitute real evolution.
Evolution must be a dialectical and therefore a historical process in which novelty is incorporated
into nature.

What appears anticipatory and prophetic may in reality only be adaptive evolution.

Inertia of objects tied to an outside continuum underlies the irreversibility of the sequence states of

Changes of the medium time. Changes through the medium space.

All internal motion in the icon is converted to external motion. No contradiction in

Quantum dynamical systems do not scale upwards indefinitely. We should not expect them to
scale temporally either.

Physical continuity is at a deeper level than discrete matter.

Entropy may be alternatively understood in terms of resolution instead of density of states.
These two interpretations seem to be quite at odds with one another.

The relationship of geometry ( as the structure of space) and the vacuum or space density approach
to gravitation comes from the fact that the spectrum of available quantum states in a vacuum of
spatiotemporally varying density of these states itself determines the spatiotemporal variation of
momentum-energy for real particles and fields occupying this vacuum.

We speak of spacetime being dynamic, varying or deformable. However, this raises the question
in terms of what background continuum or context may we consistently speak of such
variation/variability of spacetime?

The probability of a particular state or configuration of a given system is usually expressed in
terms of the probability of this state coming into being by chance in the course of random changes
in the systems state. Analyze this notion in light of the following: closed system, open system,
coherence, causality, periodicity, etc.

Temporality and consciousness are incompatible with the notion of design. The points to the
essential nature of consciousness as uncreated, c.f., Searle, Chalmers, etc.

What unites the disjoint is transcendent, what unites he incommensurable is irrational.

Data are stored in something, information has to be stored on something.

If the language that a program is written in is powerful enough, then the program can be run on any
machine. But this would imply that the software languages most basic operations were taking
place at a level beneath that of the most basic hardware design elements.

Then the code can no longer be thought of as being completely structured in its
implementation/execution by the conditions imposed by the hardware running the software.

Since quantum correlations can be nonlocally connected, these correlations that become locally
connected do so by some mechanism other than that of cause and effect. In short, quantum
correlations by not being bound to spacetime may be found to underpin spacetime. This is why
it makes sense to look for the mechanism of unified inertia and gravitation through an examination
of the dynamics of quantum fluctuations and their correlations.

Belief systems possess a principle of coherence upon which their evolvability relies that is
independent of the arbitrary nature of the metaphysical elements formal within these systems of
belief.

A singularity is more generally speaking, a situation of the most extreme boundary condition
having been placed upon the dynamical substrate subject to it the most restrictive boundary
condition that can be placed upon this substrate that can be sustained by its very own activity.
Information destruction paradox of black hole thermodynamics is such a crisis in some quarters of
the physics community. Has anyone ever heard anyone concerned about loss, i.e.,
nonconservation, of information in the case of brain death of persons who have passed away.

The unique individuality of the personal consciousness is itself rather singularity like.

Information cannot be transmitted at greater than the speed of light (in the local vacuum, that is).
But is this also true for data? Actually, no is the answer. The explanation of this manner in
which data and information differ is no doubt importantly related to Penroses graviton limit for
Psi collapse, Wigners sense of the importance of consciousness in the Psi collapse mechanism,
code versus its interpretation, etc.

Does the death of the individual constitute a genuine, objective singularity? We expect the laws
of nature to break down at the boundary of such an objective (or physical) singularity. But this
can only be true if the underlying dynamic substrate bound by singularity is the same as this
substrate conditioned or, more aptly, informed, by various particle field, i.e., massive
(information-bearing) structures.

There is a possible breakthrough here in relating gravity, consciousness, quantum vacuum, open
systems vs. closed systems in the context of thermodynamic theory, social construction of reality
(reality as fundamentally intersubjective). . .

That which is medium dependent is supposed to be encoded into or represented by that which is
medium independent, i.e., the coherent represented by the discrete.

Denotation is the fusing together of metaphors, as in inductively inferring the meaning of a word
through hearing it used in myriad different contexts.

A floppy disk with data loaded onto it weighs the same as one without data. No data is just one
among 2
n
different configurations, any one of which could have been designated as no data.
Such a disk loaded with information, however, is expected to weigh more (possess greater inertia)
than such as disk containing no information. Energy uncertainty contains information, but of a
nonlocal and, hence, gravitationally/inertially ineffectual kind.




Now when you tell someone that death should be just like one had never existed, this doesnt really
console him or her, even if they can embrace the idea. Thats because somehow the person
believes that theyre having existed makes a difference to the Universe even after they are dead.

Just as the propagation of sound does not involved the actual transmission of matter, i.e., material
particles, the transmission of information does not require the translocation of any substance.
Because of the recursive nature of the transmission medium just the replication of information in
place requires the processing of information. How information moves through space is
dependent upon the mechanism by which information is sustained through time.

Physics and chemistry serve as the medium of execution, implementation, and transmission.

Search engine metaphor for evolutionary process.

No two systems can be considered to be properly connected, e.g., causally in the complete absence
of back-reaction of one on the other. The direction of time merely implies that the forward
reaction is the dominant one. This reminds us of the tiny leakage current in an electronic
amplifier circuit.

Reprocessing of information is always easier than this processing ab initio.

Events that transgress classically physically defined boundaries possess greater probability then
would such, e.g., transitions in the absence of a given particular set of classical physical boundary
conditions.

This is how the power of quantum computing becomes accessible and how randomness and
specificity may be effectively combined.

Multiple levels of coherence that could interact with one another might be what is necessary to
filter quantum fluctuations so as to extract information from them. But how can we extract
information from a bed of fluctuations when no single fluctuation may be thought to possess any
information? Two correlated fluctuations, each of which are random may be or become
correlated. This would be a perfect example of how quantum mechanics permits and facilitates
the integration of chance and necessity.

Theory of inertia and gravitation based on the principle of the conservation of bandwidth.
Spacetime curvature is degenerate with respect to 3-momentum and fluctuations in 3-momentum.
To distinguish a curved spacetime from the mere appearance of spacetime curvature, say, due to
spatiotemporal variations in the density of vacuum energy, there must be some other means of
reckoning the values of space, time, momentum and energy intervals/ quantities. Nonlocal
connectivity of fluctuations subsumes a causal description because, according to Bohm, causal
relationships can always be constituted in terms of fluctuations and their correlations.

Time reversal is only limited by a phenomenon called quantum decoherence.

The structure of energy fluctuation field (in four dimensions) is required to differentiate between

Everything reminding one of the object of ones infatuation. A mate target acquisition and
tracking algorithm that was chosen, by natural selection. But doesnt the fact that this particular

environmental conditions/ cues?

Instantiation of a concept as the modulation of a deterministic function by chance or unpredictable

What is it about texts or peoples way of relating to them that caused the emergence of texts soon
after the invention of writing which came to be revered by entire societies, even fetishized and
worshipped. From a certain point of view, the emergence of writing seems to have occurred at
least several thousand years in advance of when it might otherwise should that point of view is that
of semi-primitive peoples isolating themselves from the ordinary goings-on of life to pour over
myriad dried clay tablets on which are scratched clusters of vertical and horizontal grooves. By
this means such an ancient scholar could share in the thoughts of those he never met or who might
have been long dead by the time of his study of the texts.

Neils Bohr said that anyone who has not been shocked by quantum theory has not understood it.
Feynman said something similarly appreciative concerning this theory when he remarked that, no
one understands quantum mechanics. If you take both of these statements by these two great
physicists as being equally valid, then the conclusion follows that no one is properly shocked,
amazed, or appreciated the implications and significance of the quantum theory. This brings to
the fore the notion of a person, society, or humanity itself as a whole failing to properly appreciate
the significance of something.

Photons acquire mass in a gravitational field due to increased density of momentum fluctuations
supported by a decreased density of energy fluctuations. This is (another way) how a decreased
value of c in a gravitational field can be understood.

Two physical objects that are embedded in the same vacuum that interact do so in a fundamentally
different way than they do when each is embedded in its own, unique vacuum.

In quantum physics, one thing does not cause another so much as do the underlying nonlocal
fields constituting these things, e.g., particles interact.

The disconnect of the base pair sequences from direct influence of the laws of chemistry in
analogy with the disconnect of quantum phenomena from the classical world of

Representation is a function of participation generalization of Psi collapse principle. The
uncertainties in quantum observables are not a function of the interaction with an observer, but the
certainties are (eigenstates).

There is temporal nonlocality as well as spatial nonlocality.

The observer disturbs the system by his act of measurement through nonlocal connection being
established (or altered discontinuously) between the systems embedding vacuum and the vacuum
embedding the observers brain. This means of disturbance may be similar to the disruption of
the dreamscape which results when the dreamer begins to enter a lucid dreaming mode.

Time has an ontogenetic dimension (this is time as usually understood), but also a phylogenetic
dimension. The first kind of time is to be understood as an unfolding implemented by
deterministic causality. The second is to be more properly understood as concrescence or
coalescence, that is convergence. Convergent evolution implies the operation of a preexistent
infrastructure, which enables it.

Some people would prefer to remain a nonentity outside of history than an insignificant figure

March 2012
In a matter of decades from this writing (2012), the distinction between real and virtual
media, i.e., media representing the real vs. media representing the virtual as real shall have
broken down. Creative writing narratives will become indistinguishable from journalistic
reporting of factual events. The economic value/utility of real and virtual artifacts, products and
services shall also have merged. Subjective and even intersubjective/collective memories of events
shall not only merge with memories of individual and collective events within so-called
cyberspace, but there shall also be a blurring of distinctions between events grounded in proximate
(inputted) versus those grounded in those more remote (natural sensory stimuli). Part of what
shall aggravate this collapse of distinctions is the gaining currency of such notions as the Matrix,
anthropic principle, ancestor simulation, virtual reality hypothesis, subanthropic principle,
multiverse, Boltzmann brains, Philkdickeanism, etc.

In discussions of Moores Law it is frequently said that the processing speed of the human brain is
not much greater than 10
17
operations per second and that therefore it will be only a matter of
several decades before the computing power of the brain is overtaken by a new generation of
computers, say, sometime around the year 2030. But there is an underlying assumption here that
the brain is a closed computing system just as shall be the computers of the future that forecasters
suppose must inevitably overtake the human brain in raw computing power. But what if the
brain is not a closed computing system and what if the vast array of complex switching and
memory circuitry of the brain leverages, if you will, a much more powerful system of information
processing capacity, one inherently residing in the quantum vacuum or the gravitodynamics of
fluctuating spacetime? Here the underlying dynamic information processing substrate
embedding the brains neural network would inform, synchronize, and provide meaning-giving
context for classical neural processes. It would accomplish this through the domain of
spatiotemporal scale in which the crossover occurs between the classical and quantum realms.
This intermediary domain is where such phenomena as decoherence and wavefunction collapse
take place. It appears natural enough to associate quantum fluctuations with physical
phenomena that are characteristically quantum mechanical in nature and to associate the
expectation values of quantum observables with characteristically classical physical phenomena.
In such a situation, the human brain, as an open computing system, and a digital computer, as an
example of a closed computing system, would have to be considered incommensurate with regard
to comparison of their computing power. The digital computer does not leverage, control,
modulate or interface with, etc. some larger, embedding information-processing network. It was
designed to work in a stand alone configuration or perhaps as part of a larger network that is
itself a stand-alone, i.e., closed, computing system. The human brain was designed to work as a
leveraging interface because it was an outgrowth of this same substrate that had guided its
embryonic development. This reminds us of what is forcefully demonstrated by Prigogines
work on far from equilibrium dynamical systems, namely, that the 2
nd
Law of Thermodynamics,
which applies only the closed systems, does not apply to them. The deep connection that exists
between energy and information suggests that this inapplicability of the 2
nd
law to open systems
implies another important failure of information theory to apply to open computing systems such
as pre-eminently represented by the human brain. For some strange reason, artificial
intelligence thinkers and philosophers of mind and AI are in he habit of assuming that the quantum
mechanical dynamics of, e.g., synapses, neural phospholipid membranes, microtubules, etc. are
irrelevant to the peculiarly powerful parallel processing capabilities of the human brain.
However, it appears, quite to the contrary, that quantum connectivity within the brain and
especially between the brain and some dynamical, embedding quantum substrate, i.e., quantum
vacuum, are of vital importance to the brains colossal parallel computational capacity. The
intuition of times passage, i.e., human consciousness, implies a fundamental time asymmetry in
the brains characteristic functioning which virtually assures that computer scientists and
engineers shall never succeed in adequately simulating brain function on a digital computer, c.f.,
my 1996-97 writings on artificial intelligence.

For closed computing systems a clear distinction may be drawn between hardware and software.
This is however not so when it comes to the operation of what we might conveniently term open
computing systems. But neither are these two types of ware identical. There should be
some rules of operation and information processing taking place through the brains functioning
that are not merely reducible to the underlying laws of chemistry and physics of the brains
material components.

To the extent that the socially defined identity roles are arbitrary constructs, to just this extent is

If youre going to be recombining the results of filtering chance arising all over these different, and
so we assume, unrelated regions of evolutionary development, then if were not planning on
relying on happy coincidence, then there has to be an underlying rational basis for all of this. In
other words, we need not just a code, one that applies to the processing of signals, but we need a
language, that is to say, a system of arbitrary symbols (c.f., Monod) that allows us to plug in and
out as it were into an unlimited variety of different contexts, so here we have the interesting notion
of combining arbitrariness and context sensitivity. But then this is an effective strategy only
because theres already an underlying ground, lock and key fashion, true enough, and this seems to
pose a limit on the degree of arbitrariness that is permitted our symbols by this meaning structure
were supposed to access with them.

Decay is a phenomenological process. A relatively small collection of rules permit one to
enhance photographs so as to repair image decay. These rules apparently can be applied an
unlimited number of times. The possibility of making unlimited numbers of copies of, for
example, programs, tells us something interesting and important about the nature of information
and its dissemination.
May 2012
Information is self-transcending because it is never what it is at a
given moment, but both possesses an underlying continuity similar to metaphysical substance and
is not limited in terms of the number of distinctly structured contexts which it can potentially
transform. In this sense information may be thought to possess an active principle and does not
merely disseminate, but inseminates, if you will. Parallel to the principle that there is no meaning
without context, one might say that there is not creativity without information. Information in
some sense is the context of context, but then again, so is consciousness the context of context.
We are pointing up here the intimate connection between consciousness and information. If left
to itself, the context of ground reaches equilibrium with itself or simply is at equilibrium with
itself so that nothing new ever happens. A perturbation from outside succeeds in nothing more
than bring the system to a new state of equilibrium much as before. This why the identification of
information with mere energy is inadequate.

I have a dream of approaching a door with a key in my hand. The implication is that he door is
either locked and Im going to unlock it, or the door is unlocked and Im going to lock it. Now if
I dont have a clue why Ive got the key in my hand or why Im approaching this door for that
matter, the when I stick the key in the lock and turn it, one of two things typically are expected to
happen: either its the wrong key and it doesnt turn, or its the right key and it turns, either with
resistance, if the door had been locked, or without resistance, if the door had been unlocked.
There are all these opportunities for quantum superposition, e.g., going to lock/going to unlock a
door, correct key/incorrect key, door having been locked/door having been unlocked, etc.

Another way to look at the question is the following. If all of the causal conditions for
what is taking place within a closed, stand-alone computing system (brain) are proximate causes,
i.e., taking place within the closed system, then events in the system only have reference to what
is inside the system and can make no reference to anything outside the system.

Why do we think that the simultaneous death of thousands of people at a single location is more
tragic than the death of an equal number of people unrelated by a single incident? That the loved
ones left behind are likely to be acquainted with other victims in addition their loved ones, is quite
beside the point Im trying to make here. Transcendental moral continuum seems to be implied
by our intuition or instinct about death of the collective being a greater evil than the death of the
individual or self. The new age crowd wants the warm and fuzzy feeling that comes from having
the all powerful universal parental figure always in the background, but they dont like the idea of
owing any account to this parental figure and imagine that us kids can just make up the ethics
governing our behavior. Consciousness and will are complementary even in a deity.

Voltaire was famous for saying that if God did not exist, Man would have found it necessary to
invent him. One of the for us profounder aspects of Gods being is that Man has indeed called
God into existence. In fact He is called into existence every time an individual human being
accepts and receives the promptings of His Holy Spirit.

Fluctuation as a function of our manner of approximation/abstraction. The steady state
cosmology theory will make a comeback every 50 years or so, and so this theory is a kind of
touchstone of cosmology. All systems of cosmology must always justify themselves in part as
valid departures from this touchstone theory (steady-state theory).

Thoughts are representations of a direct contact. The purpose of words is to make ones direct
intuitions available to another. When thinking privately, without any notion of passing what
arises during thought to some other person, one may altogether dispense with the necessity of
words. Words are only valuable if they direct the listener/reader to the intuition corresponding to
ones own intuition one has sought to convey. Now an explanation or description of
consciousness as a representation of consciousness is only valuable if it brings the other to a direct
intuition of consciousness. Well, the individual already has direct intuition of his own peculiar
state of consciousness. While the best method of bringing another to an intuition of
consciousness as such, in contradistinction to his mere individual consciousness, is simply that of
properly instructed in the techniques of transcendental meditation. The individuals success or
failure in his attempt at transcendental meditation is ultimately dependent upon his own inner
resources. Providing him with a kind of abstract description of consciousness instead reveals the
committing of a fundamental category mistake. There is nothing, which can be abstracted from
each and every individual consciousness since pure consciousness possesses not possible features
which one might selectively attend to or suppress in order to abstract from them.

The measuring instrument plus quantum system being measured can be consistently considered to
be a single isolated quantum system. So by induction, the acausal nature of quantum
measurement is properly attributable to that which breaks the composite closed system from
outside, as it were. The consciously willed act of implementing the measurement by the
observer fulfills this system disruptive role.

Psi and by implication, causality, can only be defined within a closed system. Also, conserved

The brain does not merely combine preexisting elements into new continuations, it introduces new

Socrates slave boy already knows the postulates and rules of inference embodied in Euclids
Elements, so the questioning of the boy by Socrates his simply to trigger the accessing of the

The order of the growth of the central nervous system as well as the order of its functioning are

Watts discusses how we cant bite our own teeth. In another lecture, he points out how the biting
of the infinite wiggliness into discrete bits. Then biting ones own teeth would amount to
biting the infinite wiggliness of the process of biting the infinite wiggliness of the process of . . . ,

Perturbation theory and Ptolemaic epicycles. Many worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics

Synchronicity, rather than evidence of the Universe attempting to communicate with the Self, is
evidence of the selfs peculiar pattern of projecting itself. The descent of the transcendental self,
is evidence of the selfs peculiar pattern of projecting itself. The descent of the transcendental
self into spacetime is not a special, one-time act, but is continual, occurring on as many occasions
as there are moments composing an individual existence of dwelling within limitation (spacetime).
The sensation of the subjective flow of experience is an artifact of a single moment.

Composite particle structures possess angular momentum and spin while fundamental particles
possess their action entirely through their spin.

A spin gradient (possessing units of linear momentum) would have to be derived from a definition
of spin density and the gradient of spin density.

Angular momentum of composite particles are bound structures of fundamental particle spins.

An energy density gradient is associated with a force, that is, time rate of change in particle
momentum directed toward spacetime with lesser energy density and greater 3-momentum
density.

/\p/\x >= hbar for composite systems (real particles and fields)

/\p/\x = hbar for simple systems (virtual particles and fields)

The uncertainty of the vacuums momentum and energy are equal to the instantaneous magnitude
of the quantum vacuums momentum and energy.

The time rate of change in momentum is equal and opposite to the space rate of change (gradient)
in the system Hamiltonian.

Assuring someone that one is sincere is at a strictly literal level, paradoxical.

Wisdom that is to be deployed by and within consciousness could not possibly have been built-in
to the soul, for this would be mere talent and intellect/intelligence. Wisdom built-into a being
would manifest itself to this being as a past history from within which this wisdom was distilled
through its unique career of mindfulness. There must be an infrastructure for the implemetation
of the higher processing of human experience that is theoretically possible. And such an
infrastructure necessarily transcends the cognition and perception of any individual human.
This infrastructure is the divine logos. This infrastructure is better known as Providence.

Could a computer design a more complex computer than itself? Not unless it was programmed

But then the more complex computer is contained implicitly but contained nonetheless with the

which, the implicit develop mental program is more like an integrated collection of web links for
the proper interfacing with a network (Internet) in this case. There is no reason to believe that
the DNA contains all the information necessary to induce ones ontogenetic development. In
fact, the amount of information necessary to code for the structure of neural neocortical
interconnections for outstrips the information carrying capacity of the DNA molecule.

Personal responsibility and the ethics of the mutual respect of persons are weakened within an
ontology in which the distinction between persons is regarded as being ultimately illusory.

The unitary dimensionality of time projecting backward into the past of each person's biography is
a rationalizing projection which glosses over both the momental and arboreal structure of
experience as actually lived. An actual one-dimensional time would leave no room for the
operation of will and consciousness.

Mesons are massive bosons because they are actually composite particles possessed of binding
energy mediated by the strong nuclear force. All simple bosons, i.e., bosons that are not
composite, possessing internal binding energies, should be massless particles, unless able to
manifest their momentum as energy through back and forth exchange between fermions.



Fermions are massive when they back react upon the fermi-dirac statistics of the quantum vacuum.
In the same way, bosons should be massive when they in turn back react upon the bose-einstein
statistics of the quantum vacuum. Any particle that directly back reacts upon the fermi-dirac
vacuum statistics will also back react indirectly upon the bose-einstein statistics of this vacuum.
This occurs through the coupling of fermi-dirac and bose-einstein statistics of the free space
quantum vacuum. But this coupling is only in practice realized when the symmetry of quantum
vacuum statistics is first perturbed on one side or the other of the vacuum's spacetime symmetry
plane. It is easy to realize that deviation from flat spacetime symmetry induces a coupling
between 3-momentum and energy fluctuations in the vacuum. The converse of this is also true:
perturbing of the momentum-energy symmetry of flat spacetime induces a curvature of this
spacetime that in turn induces further distortion in momentum-energy symmetry away from flat or
diagonalized vacuum fluctuation momentum-energy. This feedback between interacting shifts
in spacetime and momentum-energy symmetry is critically damped when r approaches
Rshcwarzchild.

A mass collapsing under its own weight ceases its this collapse towards its center once the the
mass becomes disconnected from spacetime through having become disconnected from the time
of its original spacetime. This occurs at the precise point that all of the mass' fluctuation energy
has converted to bosonic, i.e., the point at which the mass begins to sustain itself entirely out of the
internal vector boson exchanges mediating its own binding forces, which is to say, at just that point
at which the mass is converted completely into the energy of its internal binding forces. Any
increase in the density of the mass' internal binding forces would have to be supplied from
"outside" from the very spacetime from which it has just become "disconnected." Any increase in
the mass' binding energy beyond this natural dividing line would necessitate a decrease in the
density of fermionic fluctuation energy within the mass that cannot be communicated to the region
of spacetime outside the mass' newly formed event horizon. Such a situation would result in a
violation of conservation of energy by the black hole.

Spacetime is characterized by the collective wavenumbers, k, and frequencies, f, of virtual bosons
and fermions, respectively composing the momentum and energy fluctuations of the quantum
mechanical vacuum state.

Does the energy uncertainty of a quantum mechanical system encode its complete structure of
temporal potentialities? If this is so, then the only properties possessed by a black hole, which is
disconnected from the energy uncertainty of the quantum vacuum, would be those that are truly
conserved quantities.

Are expectation values derivable from stable intereference between the energy uncertainty of the
quantum system and the energy uncertainty of the quantum brain of the person observing it?

The sum of the respective probability densities of fermions of identical quantum state integrated
over a finite 3-hypersurface of spacetime equals unity. A warping of this hypersurface increases
its hypersurface area, resulting in a correspondingly reduced density of virtual fermions (vacuum
energy fluctuations) within a hypersurface area equal to the projection of this hypersurface onto its
tangent reference hypersurface, i.e., the flat hypersuface containing the matrix of virtual fermions
prior to its taking on a curvature (degenerate with respect to (+) or (-) curvature). In other
words, the warping of the starting flat hypersurface results in a corresponding decreased
3-hypersurface density of virtual fermions (quantum vacuum energy fluctuations). The
increasing elastic strain within the warped hypersurface corresponds to an increased density of
3-momentum fluctuations locally tangent to any given infinitestimally flat patch of the warped
hypersurface. 3-momentum and energy fluctuations within the warped hypersurface become
coupled. This coupling is described by a 2nd rank elasticity tensor. Each point along the
warped hypersurface is characterized by its own spacetime rotation of fluctuation energy
3-momentum-ward. Since an arbitrary warping of the 3-hypersurface must be desribed by
distinct spacetime rotations of fluctuation energy 3-momentum-ward, the fluctuation
momentum-energy structure of an arbitrary 3-hypersurface must be generally described by a 2nd
rank tensors describing torque and elastic strain at each spacetime coordinate within the
hypersurface. The torque tensor describes the continual refreshing of a flat spacetime matrix of
quantum spin density into a warped spacetime matrix of spin density against the restorative forces
of spacetime's elastic strain.

The decision to investigate background relationships underlying the appearance of unassuming

Distinct patterns of tweaking of the fundamental physical constants constitutes distinct
parallel universes, though perhaps only parallel in a metaphorical sense because there may
indeed be a common ground for all of the distinct tweakings in terms of some underlying
mechanism, which relates (causes intersection) of each with the other. The seemingly
hyper-precise tweaking of fundamental physical constants required by a solipsistic cosmological
principle (as a subset of a more general anthropic cosmological principle Im either called
forth from the void by the sum total of necessary conditions form my being, or Im not!) suggests
that the underlying mechanism of sustainment of the individuals consciousness must involve a
feedback system connecting and conditioning ever-present tiny fluctuations in the
moment-by-moment values of these constants, which, if supposed to track the continuity of
consciousness, must fail to do so for anyone else except me.

Does the vacuum have to be described by a density matrix instead of a wavefunction. The
vacuums energy is not conserved and so the vacuum does not commute with its Hamiltonian.
There is not qualitative distinction between real and virtual particles of the same type. The only
distinction between real and virtual exists in terms of measurability. Since the wavefunction
is prior to the act of measurement, we can draw no theoretical distinction between a wavefunction
that describes a virtual particle from one describing a so-called real particle. This is because

The reminder theory of pseudo-significance.

One lifetime, however long, is not enough time to exhibit all of the abilities and develop all of the

fullest sense and realize the fullest significance of human life. Of course, any pushing of the
boundaries of this significance of human existence would perhaps change the nature of this

there an essence of human nature, apart from that which has been heretofore worked out in the

higher levels of synthesis of human experience. And with this advance, grows the disparity
between highest levels of processing and integration of human experience and that lower level of
integration of human experience represented by the utmost experiential potential of the typical
human individual. There should similarly exist within the infrastructure of being
accommodation for the future development and evolution of past human experience, both
individual and collective.

The cash value of concepts and their open-ended evolution this value never exhausts its
respective concept.

Axiom 3: the alterity of he other is radical.

Vacuum boson mutual exchanges are in thermal equilibrium with vacuum energy fluctuations in
the form of annihilation and creation of virtual fermion-antifermion Pairs. So Bose
enhancement and Pauli blocking within a quantum vacuum of gravitationally shifted
momentum-energy fluctuation symmetry (i.e., shifted spacetime symmetry) a reduced density of
vacuum energy fluctuations must exist in thermal equilibrium with an increased density of vacuum
3-momentum fluctuations taking on a measurable black body temperature. So the enhanced
energy of the vacuum boson field powers particle production f fermions within the modified
vacuum and this thermal energy fluctuations must exist in thermal equilibrium with an increased
density of vacuum 3-momentum fluctuations taking on a measurable black body temperature.
So the enhanced energy of the vacuum boson field powers particle production of fermions within
the modified vacuum and this thermal energy of fermions created out of the vacuum must possess
a mass density equivalency. Gravitation has the effect of giving the quantum vacuum a nonzero
mass, or, more properly stated, the influence of gravity extends through spacetime (from a
gravitating source) via a mass (or mass density) taken on by the modified vacuum (vacuum with
modified vacuum statistics). After all, spontaneous emission was originally deduced by
Einstein in order to preserve thermal equilibrium of interacting matter and radiation. So it is
reasonable that an enhancement, for example, of the density of virtual bosons (thought to be
responsible for triggering spontaneous emission by excited atoms in the case of photons) within
the modified quantum vacuum should necessarily be associated with compensatory change in the
quantum state of emitting fermions (in this case, the virtual fermions/antifermions of the modified
quantum vacuum).

If mixing entropy for interacting virtual boson and fermion fields is negligible, then when the
entropy density of the virtual fermion fields decreases, the temperature of these fields must
proportionally increase. Due to thermal equilibrium between fermion and boson fields,
however, an increased temperature for the virtual boson fields, combined with the increased
energy density of these same fields, implies an entropy decrease for an increased density of
particles. This means that the entropy per virtual fermion has remained constant. This
increased information per particle in the case of the virtual bosons is intimately associated with the
increased coherence of boson interactions underlying the phenomenon of induced Bose
enhancement within bulk matter and vacuum.

Unidentified mental states, e.g., states of confusion, must be able to be categorized as such and
resolved through reprocessing.

Recognizable patterns Originable Patterns Working Patterns

Although fermions have different charges, depending on the interactions these particles participate
in, all fermions composing ordinary matter appear to be of spin + or . Moreover, although
different forces are mediated by different bosons, all of the bosons mediating the binding forces of
ordinary matter are of spin +1. So through the property of spin, the properties of matter and
force-mediating particles may be understood as different manifestations of an underlying
symmetry associated with spin. The property of quantum spin is dictated by space quantization
and by spacetime symmetry.

Acceleration relative to frames of uniform velocity is equivalent to uniform motion relative to
freely falling frames. How to define uniform motion within a gravitational field.

Sychronicity, parallel universes and the quantum solipsistic cosmological principle.

Photons only interact within a nonlinear optical medium. A photon can interact with virtual e+e-
pair, which can in turn interact with another photon. In this way, photons are able to interact with
one another. The density of virtual photons modeled as virtual e+e- or e-e- couplings within a
quantum vacuum composed of virtual e+e- pairs increases the probability of the mutual interaction
(scattering) of both real and virtual photons.

Musical passage creates a mood sustained by a reference to a place and setting, which in turn
possesses a reference to some other context, ad infinitum. So the essential nature of
consciousness in its requiring grounding within an open system which is to say an unlimited
context is seen in a different and less abstract way.

A strong indication of a supreme beings observation that the principle of unity of any system is in
some important sense outside that system. Now if this is taken as an argument for a transcendent
being, the very same principle should apply to this being itself unless the notion of inside and
outside fail to properly apply to this being so that its principle of unity could be nonetheless
attributable to it. Such a being would be its own other or its own otherness.

Prove the existence of a Gods eye view, and youre proven the existence of God. The Gods eye
view is what Will Durant refers to as the ideal wisdom of total perspective. But is there, or can
there be such a thing as total perspective (e.g., Douglas Adams total perspective vortex) in the
absence of one capable of realizing it?

Does consciousness bear the property of potential accommodation of a total perspective?

The unity of the world of spacetime phenomena cannot be found within spacetime itself.

The question is whether the most general concept or abstraction is individual consciousness or
consciousness as such. If it is the latter, then if there is correspondence between this concept of
greatest generality and a thing or essence, then this thing would needs be Deity.

Although we are together now within space and time our transcendent selves are separate,
embedded in incommensurable realities, each of our own making.

If there are spatial variations in the curvature of spacetime, then by the relativity principle, there
should also be temporal variations in the curvature of spacetime, which seems to imply the
existence of a kind of a relativistic hypertime. But to avoid the hypertime paradox here,
spacetime curvature must be definable within infinitesimal spacetime volumes, however, the
equivalence principle of Einstein requires that these infinitesimal volumes of spacetime be flat,
that is, Lorenz invariant.

If we were only monkeys, what adjective would or should we use to describe the level of
intelligence routinely exhibited by them? I think such words as unbelievable, fantastic, and
miraculous at once suggest themselves. The plurality of gene regulatory cybernetic network as
classical versus quantum computer suggest itself when we consider that but a mere fraction of a
percent difference exists between base pair sequences of chimps or bonobo apes DNA and that of
human beings. Clearly then these differences must be key in the sense of differences in the
higher level regulation of the functioning and interaction f the structural genes.

If Sheldrake is right in postulating his theory fo morphic resonance, then we may find one day,
upon human cloning becoming a general practice, that clones shall early in their development
exhibit characteristics and preferences similar to those developed by the original human only
decades after birth.

Explanation of psychological traits of a race in terms of a social/cultural context of competition for

If man is basically good, then perhaps we need a devil to explain mans depths of wickedness, but
preachers insist on (both the basic evil of man and the reality of the Devil). This seems
redundant.

Ones own penumbra of connotations, implications, association, etc., is (usually) always
transparent to the speaker or person giving a narrative account. The process by which narrative
is generated is embedded in a fabric of associations that, though translucent to the narrator,
pervasively inform elements of lesser subtlety. The narrative penumbra, then is transparent to
himself but partially opaque to his listener to greater or lesser degree depending on closeness of
tribal/subcultural kinship.

It is true that man was made in the image of God, but no man knows or has ever glimpsed his own

TV is the principle instrument of thought control. Narratives that depict sequences of events
which convey underlying messages promoting control of society, i.e., the encouragement of
surplus consumption, respect for the power of the police, indoctrination against the states

By the equivalence principle of Einstein we should expect the relativistic effects upon /\x and /\t,
which are the phenomenological effects of complimentary relativistic effects upon /\p and /\E, and
that are, caused by a shift in the connection coupling of the accelerated observer to the underlying
quantum vacuum, are also manifest to an observer at rest within a gravitational field (relative to
a single source of a static field in this example).

Gravity causes this shift in vacuum /\p and /\E, induced by the presence of real particles and
fields, which induces the setting up of the gravitational field.

/\p//\t ~ binding forces of matter

/\E//\t ~ power source of above binding forces

WE have to consider that the principle of the being of the individuals consciousness has to have
its origin outside the individuals being qua being. This is due to the (as already noted)
transcendental nature of the concept of consciousness as such. The disturbance of the observer
to the QM system that causes momentum imparted by the observer is unanticipated due to the
freely-willed origination of the causal chain of the disturbance.

Persons/consciousness/minds as being analogous to genes as coherent, improbable, stable,
self-sustaining, evolving, etc. structures.

Coherence is not a predetermined property of phenomenologically, theoretically possible
structures. There must be an interaction with and incorporation of the unknown to permit growth
of a coherent structure. Coherence requires feedback and so cant be determined through
properties of already given permutational/ combinational elements.

Fermion and boson propagators mediate traversal of respective worldlines of fermions and bosons.

No ultimate court of appeal (Platonic ground) against which relative changes of mutually

God is not a thing nor is He made of any substance, nor is He located at any place within
spacetime. He has no particular traits or characteristics in Himself. God does not exist
therefore, though He possesses being. God as not a being but as the ground of being vs.
non-being.

If consciousness is related to Chomskian deep structure, then what is similarly related to the
grammar underlying the consistently successful expression of heretofore untried combinations of
genes. Coherent, stable domains within the base pair sequence space are represented by genes.
On this view, by far the greatest portion of possible base pair sequences do not spontaneously form
stable genes. The question arises as to why all stable base pair sequences that can form
persistent, heritable genes can in turn form stable sequences among themselves seems a
mysterious happy coincidence. Perhaps the notion of evolution through natural selection of gene
regulatory cybernetic networks helps to explain this.

Lorenz boosts account for a change in the quality of p-E fluctuations in the relative proportions of

However much one is influenced toward evil one possessed of a free will and remains nonetheless
able, though with perhaps great difficulty, to choose the good. Consciousness is intimately
involved with this capacity for free moral agency.

The kind of interaction between members of a parallel series which does not disrupt this
parallelism must be of a very special kind, namely, it must not be causal in nature or formally
describable.

Mind by resonating with the chaos of overdetermined flux gives energy to some of its latent
features at the expense of others. A kind of positive feedback develops between mind and chaos,
causing an amplification and enhancement of certain systematic orderings of these latent, obstruct
features. But at some later stage another element steps in to prevent the instability that is the full
extrapolation of this feedback possesses. All positive feedback loops if unchecked result in the
destruction of the dynamic medium in which they are sustained.

Einsteins block universe is not interpolated in terms of probabilities composed of a spectrum of
possible events rather than of individual events themselves.

The way Psi collapses cascade through the network of probaility spectra suggests and underlying
rationality to events mutual relations that are not causal per se.

An individual consciousness cannot be contained within a single classical universe. The
appearance of intelligent acting people tells us or indicates to us the transcendental beings of
others, i.e., outside of spacetime.

Actually the ability for foreign cultural forms to mimetically penetrate the barriers between quite

the possible influence of cultural absolutes.

Any attempt by the government to make itself something more than an administrator of the

Goedels theorem produced the perhaps unintended consequence of demonstrating that

Continuous spectrum of truth values follows a different kind of logic from the
boolean/propositional. Is boolean logic just a special case of probability theory?

The notion of objective probability brings us the notion of objective uncertainty.

The incompletness of quantum mechanics, e.g., the Psi-function description of pure quantum
states/super-positions, does not necessarily imply that quantum uncertainties are secretly less than
what is calculated from Psi, but does imply that these uncertainties contain some hidden
structure/function not taken into account by standard QM.

Coherence of relatively stable, dynamic systems, e.g., artifacts of a cellular automaton, is deeply

Election comes not from eternity past but from the limitless depth of the being of the person

There are truths relative to living and defining oneself from within a particular group, what might

are only possible in terms of what is common denominator (rational) between a plurality of groups.

Consciousness brings unconscious thought and perception to the level of articulation and
clan/tribal social contextualization of personal experience. Consciousness is founded upon
projection into the social space.

Frequency may be examined in two distinct but I will argue importantly related sense that of
statistical frequency vs. that of inverse of characteristic time for a physical process.

Unreasonable effectiveness as a symptom of things being rigged from the inside.

Most thoughts, however, subtly that get articulated by our most sensitive and perceptive thinkers,
e.g., artists, poets, philosophers, are usually only the articulation of what most intelligent people

First of all, the meaning of words always extend beyond and in many different directions from

The different values of Psi corresponding to each observer cannot be placed each along with other

The spin of that electron is other than +1/2 or its spin is +1/2 = tautology.

Though the spin of that electron is not +1/2 is not equivalent to asserting the spin of that
electron is other than +1/2.

Other than x is not equivalent to ~x because other than carries an implicit quantification and

The starkly inexplicable phenomenon of consciousness points up the incompleteness of the Psi
function density matrix description of a quantum system, i.e., the brain.

Self observation doesnt produce Psi collapse either.

We say God is dead and feel ourselves to be sophisticated because of it. Though we really are
only paying lip service to this proposition, having merely denied the most literal and superficial
acceptation of the propositions meanings and associations, underlying the culture we inhabit and
enjoy, that necessitate the deeper metaphorical truth of the proposition, God Exists.

As more and more intentional, conscious control is given up due to greater self limitation, more
control must be ceded to the existential context in the form of the automaticity of natural law.

Natural law as pure description and law as pure governance are just abstractions from a natural
process exhibiting both tendencies/characteristics.

Thought is action degenerate and so thought cannot be described by an action principle, nor by a
least energy principle. Action is implementation and can be described in terms of Fourier
frequency expansion. The same is not the case for thought.

What about the possible applicability of the notion of degenerate energy uncertainty?

All of the meanings that one has inherited from ones cultural and linguistic heritage may later
have to be reconstituted from out of the individuals own personal mythological and philosophical
resources. This reconstitution of cultural forms is necessitated by the crisis of the individuals
exhaustion of the inherited ground for these forms. This type of cultural crisis is particularly
common where ones inherited (passively imbibed) religious traditions are concerned. There are
myriad examples of sophisticated Christians, Muslims and Hindus, holding, for example,
research and teaching positions at secular Universities though continuing to describe themselves
as believing Christians, Muslims, etc. It is likely that each chose to respond to a crisis of faith
through a reconstituting of the inherited religious cultural forms through a very conscious and
intentional reprocessing of the forms validating ground.

My decision to remain a Christian and an intellectually oriented, philosophical person is borne of
merely practical considerations. I have gathered over the years of examining (and informally
participating in) debates and discussions between believers, atheists and agnostics that no side of
the theistic debate holds the lions share of thoughtful, sensitive and intelligent people. So my
decision to remain a Christian or abandon my faith to join the ranks of agnostic intellectuals shall
not be one informed by a desire to occupy the side of intelligence and common sense. So perhaps,
in coming to this decision, I am partly motivated by a desire to shun, rather than keep with,
intellectual fashion. I can equally imagine a deus ex machina descending with the definitive
position on either side of this faith vs. reason debate.

If one waits too late to marry, then one looses the encouraging prospect of a marriage between

Consciousness can only be transferred from one brain to another, e.g., cloned brain, by
maintaining proper mediation of the original brains network connection to characteristic
frequency spectrum of vacuum electromagnetic field fluctuations until these can be shifted and
reassigned as connections of the new cloned brain to the vacuum electromagnetic field. The
connection is adjusted via feedback between two quantum systems which is gradually decreased
between original system and vacuum electromagnetic field and gradually increased between new
brain and vacuum electromagnetic field, though all the while under the central of trial and error
conscious intention. In this way, the functionality is gradually shifted more and more away from
the old and into the new system (cloned brain).

We cannot properly explain the ability of the brain to produce complex conscious states just from
a study and an analysis of the physical conditions of the brain that were concurrent with its
conscious products. We cannot do this because we have still to take into account the earlier
stages of complexity through which this brain evolved.

We must distinguish between closed systems, pseudo-closed systems, open systems, pseudo-open
systems.

Evolution rather than an unfolding of latent or implicit structure/order, is a dialectical process in
which dynamical ground is updated in its potentialities for further expression.

Am I a superposition of unconscious zombie occupants of respective, superposed classical
universes? Each adrenalin-inducing insight in this universe is just a routine thought on the part of
one of my classical, zombie selves.

The problem with the Many Worlds Interpretation of quantum mechanics is that each of these
worlds or parallel universes are superposed within our universe though each is itself unitary
(within its own world), that is to say, the parallel universes that are superposed to produce
peculiarly quantum phenomena in ours themselves can contain no superposed quantum states.
For this would be to invite an infinite regress of superposed parallel worlds nested within
superposed parallel worlds, etc., ad infinitum. Observers performing quantum observations
jump, that is, their state of consciousness jumps, from one parallel universe to another whenever
they observe the apparent collapse of quantum mechanical wavefunctions.

Consciousness has all of the objective properties of God, but few recognize this. This is the
cause of all the confusion and conceptual quibbles between scientists/ philosophers/theologians.

We cant seem to find a context for consciousness, unlike H
2
O or life, etc.

Mind produces and categorizes the forms within consciousness and so mind is not actually
identical with consciousness. Moreover, mental states may not be identical to conscious states.

Intelligent thought is only a narrow subset of mental activity.

If consciousness is a necessary condition for intelligent perception and behavior, then
consciousness, as a medium of experience cannot be indifferent to the forms it produces or that
inhere in it. But the manner in which consciousness as a medium of thought and experience
involves itself in the forms it engenders must not be formalizable. For consciousness possesses
the innate capability to produce novel forms without utilizing preexistent, ready-to-hand or
stock forms.

Our abstract categories will simply collapse in confusion long before we will be in a position to use
them to explain (in Watts sense of ex-plane lay out in a plane as in on a sheet of paper.
This is because the capability of producing and relating categories presupposes consciousness
action. Any explanation of consciousness that doesnt explain my individual consciousness
wont satisfy me. For if this explanation only permits me to understand what makes the other
conscious while failing to provide me with understanding of the so-called mechanism underlying
my own consciousness and moreover this explanation permits the other to understand my
consciousness though not his own, then this falls far short of what we expect of an answer when we
ask, what is the nature of consciousness?

In other words, any explanation of consciousness implies that the consciousness of each individual
person is a different instantiation of consciousness as such would necessarily fall short of being an
adequate explanation of my consciousness. For such a general explanation of consciousness to
be at once an adequate explanation of my consciousness, the requisite concept of consciousness
here would only be accessible to a transcendental mind.

Consciousness shall never be really understood by merely immanent human minds. To believe
despite this mysterian concession of consciousness human inexplicability that an explanation of
the nature of consciousness nonetheless exists, then, is tantamount to admission of the existence of
this transcendental mind.

Gradual replacement of each cell, atom, etc. of a person certainly results in a copy of the original
person due to the surfeit of time interval within which local pointers to global content may be
updated. Here the quantum local-nonlocal feedback processes are many orders of magnitude
faster than the processes by which the component by component replacement was effected. In
fact we may seek alternate basis functions for the representation of this copying processes in terms
of these much more rapid quantum feedback processes. Accelerations may be represented in
terms of infinite Fourier series expansions of momentum fluctuations/fluctuation density as a
function of frequency.

Greater density of self-interactions makes updating of the grounding context of this
self-interaction slower and more difficult.

Behavior necessitates phenomenal unpredictability rather than true randomness.

Different patterns of excitation in different brains viewing the very same scene. But we must
resort to transcendental analogy to compare the two sets of neural excitations. Since were
rejecting determinism and admitting consciousness or, rather, its transcendental nature. That
is, the brain as quantum mechanical, closed dynamic system must evolve temporally in
accordance with the Schrodinger equation, although this cannot be at the same time true for the
associated conscious state(s).

The long term continuity of conscious identity seems to demand that this continuity be managed
and mediated from some outside, embedding substrate providing context, meaning, irreversibility
(and hence nonlocal memory storage). The mechanism of particulars membership in a concept,
if based on that of degeneracy, would not constitute actual class inclusion.

Although different energy degenerate Psi-functions dont make a physical difference in any
absolute sense for classical brain behavior, changes of the quantum brain from one degenerate
state to another might make an informational difference, that is, make a difference in terms of
conscious states.

Consciousness is a special configuration of matter that cant be a subset of some larger set of
physical configurations.

Persistence against randomness, rather than random action, characterizes organisms free will.

Reason as freedom from local determinism and sensitivity to relevant context with ignorance of
irrelevant context.

Consciousness is not a formal or abstract property or characteristic of any system and so
constructing of theoretical models will only obscure rather than reveal the real nature of
consciousness.

When speaking of processes underlying or beyond the domain of spacetime, causal explanatory
mechanisms are not available to us.

Changes from one degenerate Psi-function to another, to another, etc. to another and back, etc., is a
quantum process possessing 0-energy uncertainty. Therefore, there is an infinite time
uncertainty associated with this process. This is just to say that there is no interaction with
fluctuations in the vacuums fluctuations of energy, i.e., /\E = 0, necessary to drive or trigger these
changes in Psi. So by performing a series of measurements might we find the system (or perhaps
prepare the system) in various states, Psi(I), in which the system is energy degenerate?

So Psi can change independently within its degeneracy spectrum, but if this degeneracy is split
through introducing an additional quantum field, then changes in the new quantum observable
drags the Psi-function behind it.

Local spacetime symmetry is restored by the appearance of a gravitational field around a massive
body, whether the broken spacetime symmetry requires a boson exchange particle in order to
restore the local spacetime symmetry is an open question.

Changes in the systems Psi functions phase have no absolute physical meaning. The
counterintuitive as merely the outcome of the thorough going logic of intuitive assumptions.

Explore transfer of functionality form the brain at one moment to the same brain at the next in

category of temporality, one apart from either deterministic evolution of quantum
state amplitudes or wavefunction collapse in other words, the incompleteness of quantum theory
vis a vis personal identity/ continuity through time. Shifting imbalance in distribution of linear
momentum fluctuations in quantum vacuum momentum fluctuation spectrum is Fourier transform
of objects linear acceleration. Also, there is a shifting imbalance in the energy fluctuation
spectrum of the quantum vacuum that, through planks constant, is the Fourier transform of an
increasing mass energy for the object (along with a decrease in the rate at which time passes (with
respect to proper time, of course). The discontinuity represented by the collapse of the
Psi-function upon quantum observation may be due in part to the necessary time delay involved
(which may have something to do with quantum computational processing time) or separation of
the quantum observer and system under their observation. Also, there may be an issue,
discussed more fully elsewhere, of anticipated vs. unanticipated inputs into the quantum
vacuum fluctuation field. Consciousness necessarily requires a kind of continuous collapse
model of Psi-function /state function.

It is not necessary to be able to predict the particulars of what one is going to do. It is far more
useful to make very robust, general prediction of the persons choices and actions based on what we
observe about his character and temperament.

Vacuum filter mechanism tuning theory of perception only makes sense because what the
individual sees he sees always within himself. The debate is over the interpretation of the brain
as reducing valve (a la James and Huxley) vs. brain as boundary condition upon either

Memories stored at physical locations of a classical neural network embedded within a

We call the conditions for that which is everywhere manifest without exception, transcendental

Every form of Gods manifesting is dear to Him. Paradoxically, true authorship is when the god
speaks through me and ones utterances are not ones own. Sometimes its more easy to receive
the message if it comes to us from the void as it were, rather then from some other person in our
environment.

Only conventions/conventional meanings are communicable. So all the real communication
already took place at the time the convention was established through negotiation, i.e., feedback,
and interaction of wills.

God is not sub but suprapersonal God as the ground of being cannot be a mere particular being
among particular beings. Of course, the transcendent ground of being may manifest itself in the
form of the personal and it does this all the time. Personality is a form of limitation of being.

Individual consciousness as such is figure relative to the ground of consciousness as such. But
ground is not here complimentary to figure as is normally understood.

Death, properly understood, means entering a state in which it is as though one had never existed
at all. But theres something deep within us that tells us that just as we havent been indifferent
to the passage of time, neither has the universe been indifferent to the fact of our having existed.
This our lack of indifference to the passage of time is what is called the state of being conscious.
Imaging that each bit of registering of experience within my consciousness involves the realm of
being however wide, we imagine that on the opposite side of the coin, the universe is registering its
experience of us. Well, really these are both the same thing/event. Consciousness is a field of

intellectual equivalent of a cats compulsion to chase its own tail.

That which is experiencing my life is itself eternal and transcendent and is not itself in any real

Information is never contained in or by structure or form alone. Information may however be
accessed by a given form or structure provided that this structure is properly connected to some
dynamical (as opposed to kinematic or mechanical) ground.

The notion that human individuality is but an illusion presupposes the notion of an individuality
that is real as opposed to illusory. The notion of illusory individuality surely then begs the
question, what would it mean for a being to possess real individuality.

This is akin to the self-undermining assertion that the totality f life is merely a dream, which begs
the question what would it mean to live within reality as opposed to dream, to awake from this
heretofore lifelong reverie? Although form arises from formlessness, the reverse of this cannot
be the case and so pure consciousness, if it exists must be sustained from some source transcending
the Universe as Form. To create ex nihilo is to create both form and formlessness.

The precision with which the design of a conscious computer is specified in the very totality of the
design, that is, will turn out to be the very thing that prevents the computers (or robots, for that
matter) brain from being open to influences the nature of which could not possibly have been
anticipated in the design, based as it is merely upon the physical science possessed by its designers
during the stage of the completion of this design. We should expect that a truly conscious
computer would be in a position, as is a gifted scientist, of extending scientific knowledge beyond
that of those scientists who authored the design of its brain.

So to be conscious then, a computers design must permit it to utilize certain as yet indeterminate
components of the unknown to render determinate certain other, if not those very same,
components.

Perhaps the reason consciousness cannot be objectivity defined is that a consciousness is not of
the nature of an object that is, an essentially abstract entity an entity abstracted from some
concrete and indeterminate ground. IN fact, the objective is perhaps itself defined in terms of the
intersubjective, i.e., not only does the objective presupose subjectivity in the singular but does so,
still more, in the plural. Moreover, it appears that consciousness itself might be, after all, the
best candidate for an indeterminate ground out of which entityes are abstracted so as to represent
(create) objects. But again this determination of consciousness may only be possible where tow
or more consciousnesses act in concert with one another, apart from, perhaps the determinations of
space and time (nexus for all further cooperation between consciousness).

The objective properties of consciousness are not intrinsic to it, but are intersubjective and
linguistically mediated and structured forms of an within consciousness.

The problem with functionalism is its abstraction of al functions relevant to the production of all
functions of consciousness from the peculiar nature of any given medium in which these relevant
functions might be realized (instantiated). And so in functionalism, the distinctly different ways
in which distinct media couple to the outside (i.e., the unknown realm) are excluded as irrelevant
thusly, the functionalist theory of mind is one that in essence treats the brain as a closed system
where the functionality of the brain (or any analogous system in which mental functions are
instantiated, for that matter) for the production and modulation of states of conscious awareness
are concerned that is.

Consciousness objective being is internal to itself. This is why that Ourobouros, the ancient
Egyptian symbol of consciousness is so appropriate.

In the same way that pure, white light combines harmoniously all of the colors of the rainbow, so
does pure consciousness combine within itself all possible experiences. It does this with perfect
and peaceful harmony.

What then is the reason for the necessity of a plurality of pure consciousness? None whatever if
each of these is considered as stemming from some originary pure consciousness. Each of these
individual and distinct pure consciousnesses, resulting in the way that presumably must have from
this originary (super) consciousness, are already differentiations of this primary (pure)
consciousness. And so then how can each of these be supposed to be also pure. What
possible basis could there be for differentiating one of these pure consciousness from another
when each is assumed to be independent of space and time? There must then be some principle
contra Schopenhauer, c.f., Will and Representation, of differentiation, that is, independent of space
and time.

There are, of course, an innumerable number of Buddhas - those who have awakened to the fact
of their individuality having been an illusion.

Nonexistence is just as much a manifestation of being (of what is) as is Existence. Things arise
from other things from within the Void, that is, from elsewhere then from within space and time.

If the present moment ever became fully determinate and crystallized, there would be no means for
it to advance in time or for anything within this moment to advance. Such is analogously the
case with a quantum system in an energy eigenstate (one that is non-degenerate).

Rather than accepting the duality of literal and metaphorical as real, we might suppose that
liternalness is an abstraction from various degrees of metaphoricity.

Terium Datur ~ relate this term to the Buddhist doctrine of the Middle Way.

Consciousness may be understood as an awareness of the causal, logical, and analogical
interrelationships of states of experience.

The state of being at one level is the experience of the self in a way that would be recognized as
metaphorical by this same self when occupying some higher, more developed state of being. We
can apply this idea to Gods message to humankind in the form of His Divine Word. This should
be particularly so when it comes to the Bibles descriptions of Heaven and Hell.

The component of the indeterminate which never gets caught up in acts of determination is that
component constituting the eternal now.

The seed in sprouting adds to its body by enlisting, colonizing and then subverting larger and
larger quantities of material stuff that itself acquiring this same ability to incorporate and subvert
other wise seemingly inert substance.

Life is a game versus a metaphysical work.

The self is illusory versus eternal and transcendent.

Changes in consciousness are thought to take place only at a certain level of depth within this
consciousness.

Synesthesia and presence, e.g., scenes in movies and scene action music, etc. But conditioning
can show that the boundaries between the modalities of sense are not fundamental, e.g., Ton und
Bild sind fuer mich gleich weil sie alle aus dataimpulsen bestehen, c.f., Revolte auf Luna,
hoerspiel, vol. 4 (Robert Heinlein)

Plural Brahman: each Atman is its own, unique Brahman rather than each being derived from the
same Brahman.

Immanence is not through simple negation taking place within a single transcendent being, i.e.,
unique Brahman.

If consciousnes is associated with some total energy that is a function of both p^ and x^, then
clearly this consciousness can never rest.

Everything is impermanent except the subject of impermanence.

If the individuals consciousness is a particular form rather than being a ground or substance in its
own right, then ones consciousness is actually but a state of consciousness of some being higher
than the self so that it is this being that is conscious not ones self or ego this only being
conscious through the consciousness of that other being.
This is indeed what follows from presuming that one possesses a concept of consciousness. One
canot both be conscious and posess a concept of consciousness. Only a being possessing
multiple states of consciousness within another all-embracing state of consciousness can possess a
concept of (these lower states of) consciousness.

Or perhaps we may develop a concept of former (states of consciousness) that we have grown
beyond or transcended.

Are higher states of consciousness necessarily illusory because simply more complex or
coherent structures/structurings of the same underlying consciousness?

Gods are bound to the wheel with chains of gold, but they had no need to develop Buddhism.
The gods value happiness more than truth, the Buddhist truth more than happiness. The gods
know that truth transcends the ego, that is, the necessary subject of knowledge. So the ego can
only grasp knowledge about the truth that transcends ego. Purpose of becoming embodied is
recreation rather than acquiring the knowledge that transcends transcendence. Transcending
enlightenment by entering space and time and becoming embodied as a kind of reverse
enlightenment a kind of anti-Buddhism. The object of which is to leave their transcendent
selves and experience finitude.

Distinguish the temporal now (becoming determined) from the eternal now (being of the
indeterminate). The indeterminate does not literally exist though it certainly affects existence.
Being as such cannot be an act of determination since only particular beings act. What is the
relation, then, to determinate beings?

Liberation from the repetitive reenactment of ones conflicted, formative past to fix the past or
to attempt to glimpse the past from all its myriad facets in light of superior knowledge and wisdom.
To glimpse an abstract principle behind the others hurtful actions so as to deconstruct them into
harmlessness and laughableness.

One paradoxical attribute of the Christian God is the notion of God being beyond space and time,
i.e., transcendent, while at the same time personal. There is a similar (though reverse)
contradiction concerning the notion of the self in Hindu and Buddhist thought the soul as the
persistent bed of individuality is thought to be wholly illusory and yet both these faiths speak of
reincarnation and the wheel of life.

@$
Because the transcendent cannot become immanent, i.e., dwelling within the world (of space
and time) through an act of negation, it follows that the return is a metaphorical and dialectical
process in which genuinely new possibilities are engendered for transcendence.

What can possibly stand in the background of consciousness by which it could appear to one?

Why is there something rather than nothing? Well, there is nothing too theres both something
and nothing.

There are two fundamentally different approaches to explaining the origin of consciousness from
the functioning of the brain from the inside, that is, from ones own case, versus from the
outside. But there should be just as many outsides to this description as there are insides.
But only the plurality of the external points of view appear amenable to being unified. One
theory is that the internal is already unified although the plurality of the external seems to belie this
possibility.

So what makes life possible psychologically, that is, is not having this older and more cynical
version of the self, always around criticizing our every freely willed action.

There are myriad examples of the simple misunderstanding in conversation in which one has
misheard another and one is in a position, having heard correctly as a bystander, 3
rd
party, the
utterance of the 1
st
party. Question: for which reason is there so much embarrassment on the part
of the 1
st
party as well as sympathetic embarrassment of the 2
nd
party for the 1
st
, upon both
becoming aware that they had been conversing unbeknownst to themselves at cross purposes due a
trivial mishearing of the pronunciation of a single syllable?

Answer: because both parties experience in a precise and concrete way the collapse of the presence
in which all happy conversation is implicitly supposed to be embedded by all concerned. And
essential to this presence, c.f., metaphysical presence in Derrida, is the notion of
communication as involving the transmission of the contents of one mind to that of another. And
so the collapse of presence alluded to in the above scenario is just the sudden realization by all
parties of the actual tenuousness of intersubjective communication.

The problem with the multiverse presented us by the Many Worlds (or even the Many Minds)
Interpretation of QM is that by making each and every of these possible worlds ontologically
equivalent to the one that we (or more properly, the individual observer(s) occupies), the
counterfactual that normally occupies the ground of being is removed, rendering genuine
becoming impossible and hence its appearance illusory. An example of this is found in the
covalent bond structure of molecules which depends upon the superposition of quantum states all
being equally present within this universe in order to sustain the covalent bonds of these molecules
that clearly do occupy our (allegedly alternative) universe.

In the same way that a quantum neural network computer could not be designed so as to be
prefitted to the neural network of ones own brain so as to function seamlessly in conjunction with
it resulting in expansion in the number and complexity of forms out of which ones consciousness
can be potentially structured, but must be trained over an extended period of trial and error
interaction with ones original neural network (brain) in order to function together with it
seamlessly, so was it not possible for ones brain to engender states of ones own consciousness ab
initio in the absence of a similar train-up period. A feedback process was at first necessary for
a time before ones brain could then later become the neural mechanism by which ones
consciousness could become structured. The fetus or infants brain had to at some point become
an open system in the necessary relevant sense prior to its later functioning having become a
feedback mechanism for the dynamic structuring of ones consciousness.

To provide an explanation for somethings coming to be what it distinctively is (as opposed to
uniquely, except perhaps in terms of associated phenomenological effects attributed to it)
description for that thing in such a manner that the elements of ones explanation may be properly
related to the various elements of the description. Instead of elements here, we might in certain
cases substitute properties or attributes.

But a substance cannot be explicated in terms of its accidents, as a moments reflection upon the
more literal acceptation of the word, accident reveals.

Exilic and Covenantal Religions are derived from the mimetic. Are all of the fundamental
elements of the Christian religion, for instance, virgin birth, incarnation, sacrifice, atonement,
resurrection, ascents into heaven, second comings, end of the world, etc. common to earlier
primitive religions?

Are Gnostic and emanationist religions examples of exilic religion?

Western monotheisms concept of a personal transcendent is seemingly a contradiction in terms.
But so is Eastern mysticisms notion of the infusion of the impersonal transcendent within the
natural order within space and time.

Inflection of concepts as ordered shifts in the application and acceptation of the concepts within
some preestablished system contextualized domains.

Generalizing through the abstracting of notions common to different acceptations or metaphorical
extensions of some denotative term.

The quantum nature of the physical order and the underlying integrative mechanism of
consciousness overlap and can interfere with one another.

Duality implies conflict and disharmony. Fall from the transcendent.

Jesus resurrection may have only been metaphorical, but human existence itself is only
metaphorical in relation to a grounding, transcendent being.

If these myths were valid in the era of their origin, then they should be able to grow and adapt to
evolving social and cultural context. Living myths that remain coupled to the dynamical ground
of their being through which they may be properly updated through grounds being kept informed
by temporal change.

*********************************061601*************************

The transcendence by Deity of the dual categories of Existence and Nothingness has the result of
reifying Nothingness, at least insofar as rendering it a manifestation of the Absolute. Evil
originates out of the active principle (of order/ordering) of the Nothingness constituted by
(following Barth) all that which God does not will. Heaven may be understood as sacred and
holy community in which intersubjectivity is in harmony by each subjectivity being attributed to
the Divine Will. Hell may be viewed as the total breakdown into chaos of a community that
might have been. It is constituted by all out war between and among myriad totally self-seeking
individuals a cacophony of unfettered wills. Most of freedom is comprised by choices that, if
adopted, set the stage for further limitation of the small residuum of choices giving freedom its
only real worth.

There is something more important than the most important thing that you presently know about
and of which you will never learn about during this life. This is the beginning of the opening of
ones mind and the setting aside of ones unbeknownst arrogance. Information about this
important thing is potentially available to the individual who has opened his mind. To have
opened ones mind is to have begun a search for the making known that which is within the
Unknown. Because mind is a plurality, the Unknown possesses a structure and is informed,
therefore, by an ordering principle, the nature of which is to sustain the unknown in its state of
being unknown. The plurality of consciousness has being but cannot be known, except to a
transcendental Mind. If the real possesses a representation as Idea, then a transcendent Mind
possesses true being.

Can all fluctuation phenomena be rationalized as perturbations of expectation values. Or is the
stability of expectation values negotiated (through a counterpoising of wills, say) rather than being
just mechanism writ small? The fact of uncertainty possessing an irreducible ontological, as
opposed to merely epistemological component, should have an important bearing on this question.
Contemplate the changeability and reactivity of language as individually implemented that is
owing to a social-collective dynamic.

When most people think of God, they imagine a being that falls within the description of one of a
pair of a potentially myriad number of pairs of dual opposites, e.g., good vs. evil, matter vs.
energy, temporal vs. eternal, existent vs. nonexistent, personal vs. impersonal, etc. But such a
being as is imagined here could not possibly at the same time be the ground of being, that is, that
which that underlies all duality that is a mere manifestation of transcendent Deity.

The wholly other from myself would not be the merely different, i.e., something from which I
could have stemmed or into which I could evolve by some conceivable chain of conditions. For
all the ways in which this other might be different from myself could be submitted to a contrast
between all of my positive attributes and all its negative. But this would be a case of another
individual being merely relatively different or other, in the sense of opposite extremes on a scale
embodying the same scheme of categorization. But the transcended other is beyond all
categorization in the same way that consciousness as the ground of thought (in general), cant itself
be a thought or embodied in thought or, moreover, as the ground of experience, cant itself be an
experience or grasped within experience. Only within the transcendent consciousness of Deity
from which we derive our being could the concept of the consciousness of a particular individual
be a thought. Not only could Deity possess a concept of the consciousness of a particular person,
but, we presume could also form or possess a concept of consciousness in general or as such.
And so, if Man has a concept of consciousness rather than merely possessing a metaphor of it, it is
because God has given us the gift of this concept. This idea is very much within the same spirit
as Descartes argument that Man couldnt have arrived upon a notion or idea of God, if God didnt
actually exist theres nowhere that we could have gotten this idea of God and divinity, in the
sense of transcendent or universal divinity, if not from the fact of Gods being having been
somehow communicated to Man through a kind of gracing of Mans intellect. Similar arguments
have been made for each of the many higher faculties of the mind of Man, e.g., aesthetic sense,
language, humor/ laughter, grief, compassion, self-deception, empathy, altruism, Mans moral
sense, his desire for communion with the other and for self-transcendence, Mans faculty for story,
folktale and myth-making, skepticism, religiosity and so on. On the other hand, sociobiological
deconstructions have been attempted for all of the above, in some cases convincingly, in others,
after the fashion of a hand-waving, just so story. The relative plausibility of the special
creation and Darwinian evolution stories greatly depends on what prejudicial central insight one
holds concerning the starting conditions of the world. If one presumes that the Universe has
always existed, then it is ones assumptions concerning the ground of being.

Otherness as alternative coherence of consciousness can disseminate and infect one as when on
adopts the voice of the other (small v) which results in a shift in the register of thought over to
the others voice (large v).

We have a knowledge of irremediable sin and we have an intuition of the concepts of both
consciousness and holiness.

Because pure consciousness is unconditioned, it cannot itself possesses temporality, just the
structures inhering within it.

Degenerate causality: causality in the absence of changes in the values of quantum observables?

The descent of Being explains why we are the most endangered of earthly creatures, but also that
we are the least advanced of spirit beings, i.e., conscious beings.

Ones otherness as ones most authentic being.

All is one and there are no separate events and everything is foreordained. All is play. We
pretend to be in non bliss when all along we are secretly always in bliss. All form is maya and
there is no possiblity of performing metaphysical work. What makes the problem of Evil such
an intractable problem is that evil is necessary. Teleology and unfolding versus discover instead
of invention.

Can there be consciousness without an ego? Have we reified our concept of egoless
consciousness?

Duality that is transcendent by unity versus unity that is transcended by multiplicity.

Humes complaint about not being able to catch hold of his self and the problem of a concept of
consciousness.

Switching back and for the between the brain and consciousness meraphors because no unified
description is available in terms of either. No physics theory of everything is available because
to go further than quantum mechanics and general relativity would cause the theorest to as it were
bump into himself. To find a TOE would be to pull ones self up by ones bootstraps. And so
why do this when one is already hanging in midair?

Coziness, picturesqueness, otherness, etc. Bible as testament and touchstone to all that is
distinctly human in the human animal, all that is divine in Man. What makes a document like
the Bible possible is the very same thing that makes human culture itself possible.

Although self consciousness is confined to a momentary time slice of ones biography,
consciousness as such is not so limited as it is not within time at all rather, time is within
consciousness as such.

Consciousness undergoes a temporality orthogonal to hat of its internal timeline at least in the
absence of gravitational fields. Gravitation warps all spaces connected with physical parameters
and observables.

How is the effect of spacetime curvature upon a curve alternately represented in terms of effects
upon the variable in terms of which the curve is parametrized?

Effects of gravitational field upon quantum correlations and superpositions. Are nonlocal fields
outside of spacetime or are they affected by gravity?

What is selected for is only indirectly and sometimes only tenuously connected to recognizable
phenotypes. Population genetics causes statistical forces to shape the phenotypes displayed by
individuals. In QM, statistical quantum laws and relationships, embodied in the Psi function,
exert physically measurable effects upon quantum individuals, quite contrary to the independence
of individuals from normal statistical laws.

Arbitrariness of Hilbert space basis and nonlocality of quantum fields versus nonlocality of
gravitational energy and arbitrary choice for foliation of four dimensional spacetime.

After many years of bitter disagreement, we might both awake one morning to find the other was
right all along. Such is the nature of subjective truth.

The decay on memory has a physiological basis only in part. The other underlying component of
this decay is owing to accumulating changes in the quantum vacuums internal connectivity. We
may think of this basis for memory decay in accordance with the analogy from link rot.

Because quantum states cant be copied, quantum encoded, encrypted messages cant be
eavesdropped on without alerting communicants at the other end of this fact. And the Psi
function represents the state of knowledge of the person who later collapsed it, it follows that there
is nothing to prevent full retrocausality of the quantum eraser experiment.

Look at relationship of continuity substance, essence, concept, intuition, metaphor, etc.

The quantum eraser experiment does not demonstrate that the past can be changed, just that the
past is not fully determined simply by being past. The notion of a things indifference to the
passage of time is related to this idea that the past must be fixed and determinate merely by virtue
of being past.

Resonance is coherence with the other and coherence is resonance with the self. Inertia then
must be interpreted more broadly as resistance to transformation involving a shift in the relative
strengths of coherence and resonance.

How is it that Man has since the beginning of recorded history, possibly much earlier, spoken with
Gods voice though without ever having heard this voice? What causes us to resist
acknowledging how little sense this makes?

In the same way that the causality lying behind the coherence of matter giving it its integrity is
underlied by the nonlocal connectedness of local resonances within matter, doesnt the coherence
of consciousness that we term Mind dependent upon the resonance of the individual consciousness
with (nonlocal) eternal Mind (which may be a kind of master coherence within transcendent
consciousnes)?

In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. For being
to be with itself is for being to be conscious (being). To articulate this beings being with itself
(Word) is self-consciousness, that is, it is the very beginning of the Self in Time. There is no
beginning without Being in Time. Noting the occurrence of Being within Existence is the
precondition of this being within time which being notes occurrence within self.

Derridas notion of the oppression of writing by speech seems to bear some connection with the
dynamic and conflicting relationship between oral and textual based Christianity.

In the same way that a series of negations (descriptions in terms of negations, that is) doesnt grasp
or capture the ground of reality from which we draw our being, it follows that our being within the
world is not founded upon negation within any pre-given system of forms and functions, but
possesses an absolute and not merely relative or relativistic positivity about it. We are not
merely existents, but metaphysical entities, and so everything we do mindfully, that is, results in
the exertion of at least some small bit of metaphysical work and by which the realm of Being itself
is enlarged. We are, in other words, if only in but a small way, co-creators with the Deity in the
unfinished and ongoing work of creation.

Death is not a happening, but a failure of something to happen next, that is, if we are trying to think
of death as something that occurs at a special moment at the end of life. But actually, we are
always in the act of dying as we die along with the passing away of the present moment. It is the
passing away of the present moment without its being replaced in turn by the following moment
we call death from all other moments of ones life.

Death is just failure in the process of rebirth or reconstruction of the old pattern of ones life in the
flesh of the every-renewing flux of energy that is the life of the Universe, that is, of existence, as
opposed to being. Ones being never passes away for it never once passes at all.

Ones being informs ones existence though it does not itself actually wholly embark upon and into
this existence.

The Absolute may be understood as that boundary condition that applies to all possible fluxes and
back-reacting only takes place between the relativistic boundary conditions that exist at various
levels.

We might classify data as intersubjective information and information as subjective data.

Certainly the Internet and the WWW is going to catalyze the cross-fertilization of ideas. And out
of the resulting intensification of metaphoricity will emerge, as out of a kind of distillation process,
the further crystallization of concepts and may even reduce the threshold against the occurrence of
spontaneous intellectual and spiritual insights, making this fundamental and transformative
experience of insight more accessible to the heretofore common man.

One doesnt have to have this dramatic, glamorous or interesting life to be reasonably happy,
which means just being open to the bubbling forth of these brief, episodes of joy or mild elation
that dont have to have any reason de etre in the usual sense of holding out expectation for the
future, say like when as children we go to a restless sleep, looking forward to embarking on the trip
to Disneyland or to Grandmas quaint house in the country, probably already practically
standing-room-only filled with my similarly aged, rough-housing cousins.

And one doesnt have to have this fascinating life because in a very real alternate Universe
somewhere my doppelganger is doing 25 to life for something he did while celebrating too hard on
the night after passing his Harvard Law Bar exam.

But there just arent as many alternate universe out there as there are permutations and
combinations for all of the abstract physical parameters that quantum or particle physics imagines
goes into the complete physical description of a Universe.

There has to be something akin to a quantum degeneracy that somehow escapes the ceteris paribus
principle of Occams razor that accounts for the coherence, cohesiveness, and consistency of this
real Universe, in contradistinction to the projected Universes of abstract parameters juggled by the
quantum mechanical Mixmaster.

I think most of us who really pull our hair out trying to find something to write hit upon the magic
secret weapon of channeling. Thats when the words and phrases, subvocalized in your minds
ear, before youre about to commit them to paper, are in the precise vocal inflection of your
favorite author. But really the secret is to learn to hear the vocal inflection unique to you and
channel that.

The spiritual depth of a person is determined by how much of their lives are spent in preparation
for death. There are others who strongly feel that there is no possible way to prepare for ones
death and so one might as well devote all of ones attention to living ones life.

To these people the preparation for death through spiritual or philosophic study and reflection
represent a mistaken notion of deaths meaning as some event apart from utter and complete
cessation.

There appears to be two basic kinds of negation, one operating within a formal, closed or bound
system this is the usual sense of this term. And then there is the less common, more esoteric
sense of this term in which, unlike in the first sense, the operation of negation is fundamentally
irreversible, i.e., the negation of the negation does not bring us back to some previously defined
state or recapture some preexistent feferent with which we began (prior to the 1
st
negation f the
pair). This second kind of negation cannot be symbolically represented withina pre-given
system of symbols, but only by that which possesses only a subjective interpretation or reference.
Will acts upon ambiguity here, rather than mechanism upon certainty.

In the first case there is identity within a system of differences. In the later, there is absolute
identity. The second kind of negation exhibits the nature of thought (rather than reaction or
impulse).

1 John 3:24 And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. Here I
dwell in Him and He dwells in me. The self as subject (I) dwells in Him, and the self as object
(me) is the place of His indwelling. So here I dwell in me through dwelling in Him as He dwells
in me. Ones body is no longer directly and immediately ensouled, but has now become
ensouled through Him (Jesus Christ). Jesus may be thought of as the 2
nd
person of the Trinity as
object, Christ as this person as subject. Through dwelling in Jesus (His works, i.e., the
Commandments), Christ (grace) dwells in the self. And in this way is the believer ensouled
anew through Jesus (the) Christ. This is to be born again.

Will and (passive) consciousness are not separate but will may be understood as active
consciousness. Although perception is consciousness reacting to the imposition upon itself of
boundary conditions from outside. These boundary conditions are not applied to consciousness
as such, but to the individuals consciousness as (always) already established and in operation.
Will may be understood as the imposing of boundary conditions by the individual consciousness
upon itself, internally individual consciousness upon itself, internally as it were. No perception
may be had without first the appropriate adjustment of consciousness boundary conditions (upon
its timelike resonance), that is to say, without the proper filtering by boundary conditions of the
dynamic of consciousness resonant interaction with its transcendent and indeterminate ground.
There is of course the necessity of a certain basic pattern of filtering upon which the ego is
dependent. The individual consciousness possesses a coherence not reducible to or dependent
upon feedback structures sustained by brain activity.

Consciousness is a classically forbidden phenomenon. Is it possible that quantum tunneling is
an important mechanism underlying the association of consciousness with (rather than its
engendering by) a functioning brain?

If all possible universes are actual, then does this mean that the conscious observer continually
moves from one universe to another (at least each time the observer performs a quantum
measurement upon the quantum state of his own brain).

The essence of evil is the unity of effort and activity of the 2
nd
principle to subvert the order of
creation, the manifestation of the 1
st
principle, to reorganize this reality in accordance with itself so
that this creation appears to have been an expression of its own being rather than that of Being
Itself. It is constituted by the reinterpretation of Being as Manifestation and manifestation as
being.

The dictum that, nothing fails like success, may be understood in the following way. Success
allows the erecting and building up of vast, institutionalized structures upon which nations and still
larger societies may come to depend for their livelihood and sense of the meaning of existence, but
which must sooner or later experience collapse or revolution, resulting in failure on a catastrophic
scale. Success permits falling from a much greater height than from the lower plain of
mediocrity.

There are many examples that can be given for things in culture that exert an upward pull upon the
mind and heart on the one hand or a downward pull upon the same, on the other. And as culture
is itself a manifestation and concentration of the elements and dynamics already present if only in
relatively inchoate, unsublimated form in the natural man existing altogether outside of the realm
of culture, altogether outside of the realm of culture, this would appear to perhaps make the case
for a fundamental duality of good vs. evil lying at the foundation of the human spirit. But there
appears to be also a natural latent ability of many persons to imagine a way life and being based
upon a system of values radically different from that held by the dominant cultures into which they
have been born. And this seems strong evidence for the real existence of a faculty of free will in
such persons and points to the possibility of such a faculty being a more or less universal
endowment of the individual human psyche.

The world isnt real because it doesnt last and doesnt possess an ordering principle deep enough
by which it can sustain its own existence. The principle of being of existence, that is, of all that
exists, is not to be found within existence.

It is not necessary to choose in the light of greater knowledge, obtained only much later, in order to
choose wisely. It is not only important to see things as manifestations of a ground, but to
recognize and distinguish one ground from another. That which informs ground is ordered in
altogether different manner than is this ground which it informs. This is the principle of the seed
in which information is interjected in programmed stages into the process of the informing of
ground which itself does not function in accordance with any prefigured or predetermined
programs.

Information is not a program and the placeholders for data within data structures are not
themselves data.

There are before images just as there are after images.
Transcendental Mind leads to consciousness which leads to information leading in turn to data
structures, then to data variables bound or unbound by explicit data structures.

The ringing of the bell before the bell exists. The ringing of the bell after the bell exists, but
before the bell has been struck. The ringing of the bell after it has been struck though the bell
remains in existence. The ringing of the bell after being struck and after the bell no longer exists.

The large time scale on which the maturation of wisdom takes place suggests that the gradations by
which this kind of knowledge increases are below the threshold of being articulated discursively
during the process, that is.

After substracting from each individual subject all those particulars, e.g., accidents, conditions,
etc. That are not essential to each subject being what (or who) it is, we are left only with what
distinguishes each from the other.

The human quantum observer is not part of the deterministic order governed by the Schroedinger
wave equation although he is nonetheless able to physically affect any such system through
deciding to interact with it. Synaptic activity has to be taking place in something, that is, there
must be some kind of context for this synaptic action for this activity to integrate so as to refer to
something outside itself. This context, whatever it may be, cannot be of the same fundamental
quantum/classical nature as the system of the brain embedded in it.

To possess consciousness is to possess psychic abilities, e.g., telepathy, telekinesis, clairvoyance,
etc. with regard to the situation and conduct of ones own self.

Perhaps the cash value of the term consciousness is in actuality only self-consciousness, that
is, consciousness with an object- in this case, the object (a social construct merely, perhaps) is the
self. Here the situation would be understood as closely analogous to that wherein the dreamer
upon awakening wonders if indeed he was conscious might (though not self-awareness unless the
relativity rare case of lucid dreaming is concerned here).

Or if upon awakening he merely recollects the dream as having been a series of conscious
experiences. If indeed dreams are therefore, only, properly speaking, composes of conscious
experiences in the rare instances of lucid dreaming, and in all other cases, it is only physical
memory traces that are being more or less built up during the nights lapse of normal
consciousness, then the experience of dreaming, as humans normally understood this
phenomenon, has to be more properly viewed as the backward projection of ones normally
waking consciounsess as the reified context-giving substance (in the sense of experiential
medium) for these flimsy sturctures of physical encoding of memory traces within the dreaming
persons brain. Ending these considerations prepares for considering the relatively more radical
hypothesis, namely, that every case in which we recollect having been conscious in the absence of
a concurrent state of self-consciousness is one in which a false attribution of consciousness is
being made in a later-occurring self-conscious or reflective moment.

Our whole debate concerning the question of Gods Existence or nonexistence, Platonism vs.
relativism, hard AI vs. mysterianism, etc. may turn out to hinge upon the question of whether
self-consciousness and consciousness itself (or as such) are in actuality two distinct things
(phenomena, concepts, etc.). Is there pure consciousness, in other words, or is this concept
based upon the
kwd
=reification of a projection of mere self-consciousness?

Plato had been speaking about suchness but only the suchness of form and not of substance.

We have all along assumed that the act of reifying our projections does not translate to any
enduring disturbance or alteration of the real (whatever this is/be).

If consciousness as such or pure consciousness is really only self consciousness and its various
backward pointing projections, then pure consciousness as such should have no basis as a properly
distinct concept (distinct from that of self-consciousness, that is.) In this case consciousness is
self-consciousness, that is to say, consciousness (as self-consciousness) is a form or function (or
form of functioning) of some system, and so-called pure consciousness is the medium of the
subjects self-conscious experience reified as underlying substance that is structured into a
consciousness of self as subject of this conscious experience.
There is all kinds of stray inductive cross-talk between the various densely criss-crossing axons
of the human cerebral cortex. But either these stray inductances are below conscious threshold
or there are really no messages as such criss-crossing along these myriad neural fibers. Rather,
thoughts and perceptions are triggered actuated, and perhaps modulated by all the complex
networks of ion currents bound to the meshes of neural interconnections within the neocortex.

But without the validity of a concept of pure (individual) consciousness referring to an objective as
reality we have all along supposed it to be doing, the entire metaphysics of mysticism is
completely undercut. Moreover, one cannot then use the notion of a transcendental Mind based
upon the notion of general, that is, transcendental concept of consciousness, to argue for the reality
of Gods Being (if not, however, His Existence).

Broken Symmetry, GUTS, and the Human Sense of Beauty This book title occurred to me as I
was reflecting on the bilateral symmetry of the human form, many particular examples of which,
are considered beautiful by almost all who behold them, e.g., runway supermodels, Olympic
Decathalon champions, etc. and reflecting further on how rather unattractive or unbeautiful are
the guts of any human person. Then it occurred to me that GUTS was an acronym from
theoretical physics meaning, Grand Unified Theories. Further, I recollected that one of the basic
assertions of most of these GUTS was that of broken supersymmetry or just simply broken
symmetry. Physicists consider this broken symmetry exhibited by nature to be ugly when
compared to the supposed aboriginal cosmic state of supersymmetry. Supersymmetry possess a
greater elegance through its greater simplicity. For example, the more highly symmetric is a
collection of data, the more redundancy is built into this data set, allowing it to be more greatly
compressed, say, for purposes of speedier transmission. So is symmetry breaking in
physics/astrophysics an example of data decompression?

In theoretical physics, asymmetries are the phenomenal manifestations or constructs of a deeper
symmetry level. The theistic view is perhaps the converse of this. God, the real Author of
Creation, according to the theist, Himself possesses no redundancy whatever, but represents an
utterly unique, infinitely asymmetrical (or perhaps nonsymmetrical is a better term), precursor to
the created order, i.e., the Universe.

Rather than viewing the asymmetrical as due to a kind of disruption of some original or starting
symmetrical state, perhaps it is better to understand the symmetric as distinct internal coherent
resonances within the starting asymmetrical state.

Although almost all religious belief systems make reference to a world beyond the contemporary
earthly one, believers reasons for continued adherence and subscription to the religious systems
of their choice is the ability of these belief systems to empower the believer in his daily existence.
And the real cash value of most religious belief systems is their therapeutic and motivational
advantages they offer the believer.

The theological questions of Gods Existence and that concerning the immortality of the soul can
be seen to be intimately connected as strictly philosophical questions through the more
fundamental question of whether consciousness can only exist as a structure of consciousness, i.e.,
as consciousness with an object (even if this object is only that of the ego) or as pure consciousness
or consciousness as such.

The coherent structure (and function) of counterfactuality is needed to help account for the
rationality and coherence (and cohesiveness/robustness) of the order of nature that is actually
given. Factuality vs. counterfactuality may merely constitute the end or terminal bands of a
continuous spectrum of factuality/counterfactuality. Each (apparently) actual other person
represents a counterfactual state of being/ existence for myself. The factual-counterfactual
might have manifested itself as, for example, the fact that many potential persons never become
actual, on the one hand, while many actual persons have never been potential or possessed
potential existence.

For the Many Worlds Interpretation to be consistent with the observed consistency and coherence
of the World that appears to us as the actually given one, there must exist an underlying
degeneracy spectrum of proto-world states such that, any given MWI QM theoretic world (among
the vast number of possible MWI QM theoretic worlds) is highly overdetermined form the
standpoint of never-manifested (within spacetime, that is) protoworlds of the multiply degenerate
continuous spectra of actual protoworlds (as opposed to potential actual worlds). So here we
have introduced a distinction between what we might term unmanifest actual worlds (the proto
MWI QM worlds) vs. manifest potential worlds (the actual MWI QM worlds).


The DNA as a system of possible distinct DNA molecules must possess a rationality that will
support the mutual integration of independently occurring mutations into a single new molecule
such that these independent mutations combine synergistically to produce environmental
adaptation of an advantageousness perhaps greatly outstripping that conferred upon the new
organism by the swimming together of the advantages respective to each.

There is not reason to assume that the Unknown so-called is a single thing, that is, unified and
not plural. Each individual resolves this unknown differently along the lines of his unique
historical biography of experience.

No matter how many individual consciousnesses experiencing and resolving the unknown, there
may have been brought into existence, each diverges from the other as all continue further and
further resolving the multiply structured unknown.

A certain high degree of coherence of the medium of experience is presupposed by the
presentation by or within this medium, even the most elementary representations. This suggests
that that notion of a purely passive and hence transparent or translucent medium of experience
(with regard to representations at least) is without a reasonable foundation. Natural selection
changes the relative probabilities different coherent expressions of DNA in a way that tends to lead
to what we would term ever more complex expressions being selected, but does not explain the
coherence and cohesiveness of each of these DNA expressions in their complexity hierarchy.
The nonlocal order of the natural world, being itself supraliminal in its internal interconnectivity,
must be an order subsistent outside and hence largely independent of the causal continuum of
spacetime.

A sort of what might be termed Dawkinsesque picture of evolution is one in which all of he
latent order from which the evolutionary process draws, as the complexity of biological systems is
gradually being built up, is order already, present in the environment in a distributed and
fragmentary and potential order of the more or less immediate past of each evolutionary
innovation. www.formacommunity.com

It is more appropriate to view natural selection as the adaptation of order to the requirements of the
organism in struggling to survive and reproduce then looking to natural selection to provide a
causal explanation of the origin principle is involved in fitting together pieces originally separated
(though perhaps in reality only contingently). Quite and subtler ordering principle is involved in
getting these components to spontaneously fuse together into a coherently (and still more, a
dynamically functioning whole. The clash of eternals creates time into which each of us is
sucked down. Each is limited by every consciousness except his own. Sin has two
components: ignorance, that is, knowing too much. Temporality and two competitive struggle,
temporality and the experience suffering are one and the same. Did Jesus come to give salvation
to (to liberate) to the whole human person, not just to the mind or spirit?

Did Jesus come to give salvation to the whole human person, not just to the mind or spirit?

Coherence and resonance imply each other in the following sense. Coherence is internal
resonance, i.e., the resonance of a thing with itself. Resonance is external coherence, i.e., the
coherence of a system with an outside.

There is a twisting or wringing of the truth that makes it wrong and there is another such kind of
distortion of the truth that makes it correct in an ironic, metaphysical sense.

The term correct, that is, co-rect as in parallel to something else moving in a right line or
rectilinear course, i.e., straight path. And yet for something to be co-rect in this sense, it must
have some means for staying the right course, that is, in correspondence with the truth. And this
requires, perhaps, a continual exchange of information between the true course as ideal relative to
the approximately true course as real. And this two-way interchange must be conducted in such
a manner that the course of the real is continually corrected (as against the ideal), though without
the ideal realm being affected in the process at least not in a manner relevant to the ideal
remaining correct in the proper sense.

The accelerated expansion of the Universe may be caused by a decreasing collective gravitational
time dilation in turn resulting from decreasing cosmological average mass density due to the
Universes expansion. So through the proposed underlying mechanism of gravitation, the two
gravitational anomalies, the anomalous acceleration sunward of the Pioneer
10 and 11 spacecraft and the observed accelerating rate of cosmological expansion. The ground
state of a quantum entity, e.g., particle, field, etc., is determined by the collection of quantum
numbers giving the complete quantum mechanical description of this entity.

The relationship of forms of description to the mind by which these abstractions are engendered
must be analogous to that through which the physical medium and its forms are connected in order
to account for the unreasonable effectiveness of the forms of description vis a vis the forms of
expression of physical media. In other words the physical medium at its deepest level must
possess the essential nature of Mind.

The faculties of judgment and intuition, that hopefully develop steadily with advancing age and
which mark the increase in ones intellectual maturity, which heighten ones appreciation of
cultural forms, paradoxically place one in progressively better position from which to perceive the
arbitrariness of must these forms of culture.

The reference frames of observers moving at different relative velocities within a gravitational
field can no longer be transformed on into another through simple spacetime rotations. Here
the spacetime symmetry of Lorenz invariance is broken. Does the appearance of a small fraction
of the vacuum energy fluctuations in the form of 3-momentum fluctuations in the form of an
increased electromagnetic density of boson exchanges over and above that of the free space
vacuum, represent the reestablishment of local spacetime symmetry against the now broken global
spacetime symmetry?


The strength of the Pauli Exclusion by an electron upon the quantum vacuum is tied to the
magnitude of the probability density of the electron as this quantity varies throughout 3-space.
Thus the positional uncertainty of the electron affects the energy uncertainty associated with the
creation/ annihilation of virtual electron-positron pairs. But this connection is equally via the
momentum uncertainty of the exchange of virtual photons between virtual electrons and the real
electron described by the above probability function. Gravitational fields break the spacetime
symmetry of the free space vacuum, that is, free space spacetime, because a spacetime rotation
represented by a Lorenz transformation can no longer be performed which allows the magnitude of
a 4-momentum vector to be rotated within spacetime so as to preserve the magnitude or norm of
the 4-momentum vector. Instead, any attempt to rotate a 4-momentum vector within a spacetime
in which a gravitational field is present results in he appearance of nonzero off-diagonal
components with a 2
nd
rank momentum-energy tensor. In this way, the forces, stresses, and
strains within this spacetime are no longer in a perfect spacetime symmetric balance and,
moreover, the pressures and energy density of the vacuum is no longer balanced to maintain a null
net momentum current density in spacetime.


But only the open system of ground in which the seed is embedded knows what instructions it must
receive to effect a particular action. But through trial and error the seed stuff can have its
structure altered to both express itself as another structure and make addition copies of itself.

You seem familiar. Maybe were going to have a great deal to do with one another in our next
lives.

The point of reference of time, its rate and some what related to this, times scale, all intuitively
appear to be established only through reference to an observers consciousness. Moreover, the
consciousness of the observer seems to be of essential importance in the phenomenon of
wavefunction collapse, which, as it turns out, is an objective phenomenon. So then, why isnt
the observers consciousness importantly relevant to the asymmetrical nature of time, one
characterized by entropy and changes in entropy. The collapse of the wavefunction, in many
cases, induced through some mysterious action of human consciousness, itself introduces a
fundamental asymmetry into the systems heretofore described by the wavefunction so collapsed.
Moreover, environmental entanglement also can induce Psi collapse, called decoherence in this
case, also resulting in the introduction of time asymmetry.

Conscious awareness as a kind of sustained priming of the central nervous system of the organism
for quick and spontaneous response to sudden environmental challenges. At some sub-critical
level, every possible neural pattern is already energized. In this manner, the organisms
response time is significantly shortened, enhancing its chances of surviving the threats posed by
very rapidly changing environments.

Certain consonant clusters, e.g., (x)gn(x), etc., are extremely stable against perturbation. Energy
and information requirements in production and reception of a given consonant cluster are
important to the clusters stability through linguistic evolutionary change.

Suffering may induce deeper levels of awakening offering opportunities for greater integration of
the self, i.e., selfs knowledge of the self.

The mystery of the suffering of the other. A good characterization of the great reach of change
experienced by the human person in his understanding from that of child to that of wise elderly
person is of how the Christian Westerners notion of Pilgrimhood transforms.

Empiricism and Rationalism are constituted by merely different starting points in following
through a single iteration of the dialectric of abstraction and concretion, that is, between the
cyclical interplay of abstraction from the concretized elements within sensation and the abstracted
elements of perception. So in this sense Hume and Kant are from different stages of the same
epistemological dialectic,
August 2011
c.f., Tesla A Man Out of Time, p. 15:


It is strange that Teslas strong empiricist bent of mind should predispose him to such as
rationalistic view of the nature of mind, such that he considered it in principle a simple
matter to formalize the operations underlying human thought into formally computable
procedures. Teslas empiricist bent of mind is pointed up by the following quote from
Tesla in the above biographical work:
I
wonder if Tesla asked himself what the source of inspiration was for the artwork and music
hat his feverish brain had seized upon as means of communicating to his conscious self the
imminent passing of his mother?

The fact that that rephrasing of propositions into their equivalents, merely expressed in different
syntactical forms (of what can be later seem to be the essentially same expression triggers insight
into the underlying common meaning, i.e., the essence of what is really asserted in both, but which
was not glimpsed through the 1
st
expressed form of the proposition, but only in the 2
nd
, says
something important about the way in which language is not merely passive, but structures the
potentiality of thought.

There seems to be some need for adding and additional category of truth to the two basic kinds or
theories of truth with which we are already quite familiar, i.e., correspondence and coherence.
This additional category of truth we will term resonance truth. In the case of this type of truth, it
neither corresponds with an independently existing fact or state of affaires, nor is it completely
coherent in the sense of being self-consistent. This is the kind of truth characterized by
propositions that though false in the first two sense, are themselves not falsifiable (in Poppers
sense) as any reasonable attempt in there being borne out say, through the contingent willingness,
if you will, of nature to conspire or resist the imposition of what the truth attempts to assert about
her, on the one hand, and/or the metaphorical plasticity of the meaning of the asserted proposition,
e.g., existence claiming prediction, etc., to meet evolving/responsive nature half-way.

The limitations posed by the canon of poetic versification remind us that limitation is, indeed, a
key component of creativity, even that of divine creativity.

Every exoteric tradition, e.g., Judaism, Islam, etc., has a corresponding esoteric tradition, e.g.,
Kabbala, Sufism, etc. and vice versa, e.g., Vedanta vs. Hindu Polytheism.

Because of the random nature of genetic variation, there is a tendency for there to always be a
surplus in the way the organism ends up adapting to its environment. Of course, any degree of
adaptation by the organism short of what is dictated by the organisms environment, ultimately
spells the death of the organism and the extinction of its species. And so her eis this ever present
tendency of evolution to overshoot the minimal and perhaps even the optimal level of fitness and
adaptation. Clearly, since not only the current level of adaptation has been selected for, but also
the adaptability of the organism to unforeseen future environmental change, the organism can
never be ideally suited to its changing environment.

The question arises, what does a species do with all of this surplus order that lies readily available
at any given stage, but which also must have accumulated during the course of biological
evolution, this accumulated excess order itself having been caught up into the process of
adaptation?

Things imply other things only within the realm of things. That is, each thing implies every
other thing in the Universe. This is certainly true for things conceived as abstractions lacking all
ground or substance.

Consciousnes represents the spontaneous coherence of myriad of these irrelevancies to the
evolutionary process that managed somehow to link up to each other forming a structure both
coherent and resonant. So the coherence of consciousness as a physical phenomenon possesses
or reference to the ground of the evolutionary process, that itself possesses no specific role within
the evolved biological order at any particular stage, but perhaps to the evolutionary process as a
whole.

And of course, the great saltations of the evolutionary process can only be rationally explained in
terms of the sudden opening of avenues to large compartment (modules) of this accumulated order
of irrevelancy.

So order always leaps ahead and is paired back by the true dictates of the present environment, but
this is done through adopting and adapting each bit of this surplus order. And so, natural
selection may explain the way in which the spontaneously arising order of the evolutionary
process has be captured, harnessed and adapted to the requirements of survival and fitness, but it
doesnt account for the spontaneous superabundance of uncommitted order available to it.

Consciousness role in finding an adaptive use of surplus order. Consciousness permits the
discovery of deeper local minimum of fitness (on the fitness landscape).

They can form novel hypotheses in forms of the abstract categories they have inherited. But
what they appear unable to do is to generate new categories to utilize as inputs for the process of
forming a hypothesis.

So if a young, intelligent, attractive, funny, wealthy, etc., man decides resolutely to never marry,
which woman will have missed an opportunity or been spared the aggravation of being married to
this man? The nature of the answer here is very similar to the answer to the question, who is
robbed of the gift of life when a fetus is aborted?

Faith in love is the hope for a hedge against the competition. What shall prove difficult to
program a computer to do is to bring about in itself a state, c, without cs causal precursor state,
b, being presently available or calculate.

Occams Razor: the simplest hypothesis is to be pretend at least until it breaks down. But
eventually every hypothesis breaks down. So then, does that mean that the world is infinitely
complex?

Execution is to causality as intention is to ?

Individual consciousness versus individual self-consciousness as Gods consciousness of being
that individual versus that individuals consciousness of being himself.

Probabilities exist independently of our ability to define them through the specifying of boundary
conditions in terms of which an underlying wavefunction is defined.

Objective rationality depends on Minds actual grasp of the potential and potential grasp of the
actual.

What sort of symmetry (of some underlying field, say) by the fact of individual consciousness?
And does a discrete spectrum of consciousness (as such) point out a splitting of a degeneracy?, the
breaking of some universal symmetry?

As one tinkers with an external quantum system, (i.e., one not constituting a component of ones
own brain) the components of momentum-energy uncertainty are reconstituted (shuffled) in a
manner reflecting the conservation of the total momentum-energy fluctuation of the system. In
this instance, the effects of gravitation are negligible otherwise conservation of
momentum-energy, locally, is violated. But in tinkering in similar fashion with a quantum
mechanical system constituting some component of ones own brain, a nonlocal connectivity
between observer and system is introduced that complicates the structure of the
momentum-energy fluctuation matrix that renders local conservation of fluctuation
momentum-energy invalid.

But if the universe is made of information, then symbols cannot be true representations of
components of reality, that is, in a purely representational sense, but symbols must somehow in
some degree participate in the reality that they seek to describe. Knowledge by description is
always through knowledge by acquaintance, c.f., Problems of Philosophy (Bertrand Russell).
We cannot alter the boundary conditions to a quantum field (in every case) without also affecting
the dynamics of the field so constrained. Knowledge by acquaintance must necessarily invoke
the action f consciousness. In the same way that things (structurings of a quantum field) cannot
be indifferent to the passage of time, so, too, can the abstractions of consciousness not remain
indifferent to its action. Changes in the consciousness of the quantum observer must perturb the
Psi function just as does tinkering with the underlying substantive quantum fields of the system.
The appearance of consciousness in association with the functioning of the quantum brain splits
the degeneracy of this systems vacuum ground state.

The quantum brain then falls out of resonance with a whole host of different vacuum fluctuation
spectra. This would produce a large and easily observable quantum gravitational effect were it
not for the fact that this resonance is lost with respect to field fluctuations that are (overwhelmingly
nonlocal). So the presence or absence of consciousness in the observer makes a difference as to
how the observers act of observation affect the nonlocally connected vacuum state of the system
he is posed to observe.

Fourier analysis suggests that the notion of uniformly passing time (Newtons equably flowing
time) is an abstract fiction and that time must be characterized by a collection of interacting
accelerations of various distinct orders. (Avoiding the causal paradox posed by an infinite
regress of integrated accelerations of decreasing derivative order.)

Neither God nor the Devil nor Adam created Sin, nor did God bring Sin into the realm of Heaven
or that of the created order. Sin is the virus that does not enter a person, but which a person
themselves invades. Sin, by virtue of its capacity for transmission and its essential nature as
uncreated, must be an eternally preexisting chaotic but dynamic kind of substance, possessing all
of the properties of a virus: incapable of reproducing itself without subverting and borrowing the
order already present within the good, the beautiful, and the true. Sin is that dynamic that is
powerless to left itself by its own bootstraps (as consciousness does) to structure itself and impress
its pattern.

Information can be stored in physical form only in the form of data, that is, a de-interpreted,
context-free information.

Or interference of orthogonal times to produce frequency domains?

The quantum solipsistic cosmological principle may be summed up as the Devil is in the details.

Does forming the concept of perception via abstraction from experience across distinct individuals
(something only possible to a transcendental mind, by the way) yield a broader and deeper
category of perception than abstracting from the experience from only a single person?

In other words, is there any important distinction between ordinary transcendental concepts that
supports the necessity of our positing a transcendental mind?

How do he Heisenberg spin, uncertainties alter when spin-1/2 particles in the spin-z eigenstates are
parallel transported between points in spacetime of differing gravitational potential (or more
generally, differing metric tensors)? How are changes in the spin uncertainties with respect to
axes of spin component orthogonal to the axis of quantum spin measurement caused by parallel
transport of a spin-1/2 particle related to the momentum-energy density and quantum vacuum spin
statistics that characterize the spacetime endpoints of the trajectory of parallel transport of this
particle?

The appearance of all possible forms represents the initial act of self-limitation on the part of the
Absolute.

Memory is local but reason, that which is always afresh making new sense of what is contained in
memory, is itself nonlocal. On the one hand, we dont attribute a mnemonic function to reason
simply out of a definitional commitment. On the other hand, there seems to have to be a function
to which I can turn, one of a very special nature, in that this function does not make any
assumptions on it own doesnt make any interpretations whatever just takes analysis as far as
possible using whatever has been given it to work with. So every time experience, or the
memory we have of it, fails us when we attempt a solution to a problem, the brain starts sending
out feelers into this nonlocal field-which doesnt speak it language so each time the brain does this
the local brain/nonlocal mind intersprache has to be worked out all over again. But at some
point a clear evolutionary advantage was found in keeping this local/nonlocal connection updated
and continually in place and at the ready. And during sleep the brain could devote a much
greater portion of its activity in maintaining and strengthening this connection, perhaps making up
for a short fall in the refreshing of information that had accumulated throughout the days hours of
wakeful activity. This connection between brain and mind, if your will, must be continually
refreshed an account of continued incommensurable changes on both sides of this connection that
should otherwise accumulated to levels dangerous to the organisms ability to intelligibly function
in its environment. The principle of the ordered integration of this continual refreshing of the
individual' memory is what underlies the individual' persona consciousness.
Reason of its essence must be infinitely adaptable and content-free. Paradoxically, context
though open-ended is at the same time a function of limitation.

Discourse as a side band for communication of metalinguistic notions where agreement is
accelerated though maintained mutual assurance among speakers that they are playing the same
language games, c.f., Wittgenstein. Wittgenstein had a kind of decentered and nontotalizing
way of setting forth his ideas.

Part of what causes literal ambiguity are aspects of the message included to resolve this ambiguity
for those to whom the message is intended. This is the notion of denotation through the
correlation of ambiguity.

Because speech is translation and writing perhaps doubly so, concepts are never unitary but always
include within themselves other concepts. Discourse is an attempt to contain and control this
ambiguity and multiplicity of concepts.

Solution to the quantum measurement problem seems to require that the source of measurement
stand outside of the continuum of the measured system.

If one has gained wisdom and peace of mind in exchange for ones years, there is not begrudging
of youths being wasted as Shaw say, upon the young.

Since simulacrum concepts, or conceptual simulacra, are functionally indistinguishable from
alleged real concepts, i.e., concepts that withstand all attempts to reduce them to language game
signifiers, and even within the domain of the so-called hard sciences, e.g., physics, perform
admirably well on orthodoxys side of the next paradigm shift, the question arises whether there
can be any objective criterion for distinguishing concept from mere conceptual simulacra?

The momentum in the x-direction of a virtual particle of spin 1 is conjugate to the length of this
particle in the x-direction. The energy of a virtual fermion-antifermion pair is conjugate to the
duration of this spin 0 composite particle. So when speaking of virtual particles, the Heisenberg
Uncertainty relation may be expressed as flucE
fluct
>= h, where fluc indicated fluctuation.

Gram for gram, a Bose condensate constitutes a gravitational source equal in strength to that
constituted by a fermi degenerate gas.

More than a few have spoken with Gods voice, and yet no one has heard this voice. It is in
terms of a (we think) reliable social construct of reality that we discount the reality of the peculiar
voices that people sometimes do hear. This construct is in part based in the reality where most
people in fact do not hear voices. The larger construct required to discount the cross-cultural
and cross-historical scope of theistic belief might connote a transcendent reality that might tend to
substantiate theism.

Although many sensitive and highly intelligent people openly assert the unbelief in an intelligent
designer and creator of the Universe, and have adopted biases within many areas of human
knowledge and endeavor, there may be a repressed, underlying assent to a divine creator and
sustainer of the order of existence. This proposition would be argued from absence of
metaphysical curiosity.

Ones confidence is assured so long as the ground does not shift underneath one. All that
makes you who you are is other than yourself. This is the very implication of a Godless
worldview. Without the unshakable grounding of ones identity in the Truth of Gods Being,
one has no identity. Identity is just an illusion, mere Identity, scratches on paper, the
mnemonic traces in the gray matter for executing such scratches, a passing articulate wave packet
of mutually interfering and dissipating pressure fluctuations in wispy atmosphere, one composed
mostly of neutral, diatomic Nitrogen.

It is largely human or anthropocentric chauvinism that causes as to regard our existence to be so
remarkable so that something special besides natural processes must be needed to account for this.

If Psi collapse is neither random nor governed by some preexistent order, then every such collapse
may be understood to contribute some quantity of information to the Universe. Psi collapse is
then seen to be anti-entropic or, negentropic.

The superposition of mutually exclusive, eigenstates may act as a naturally occurring massively
parallel quantum computation. Physicist Paul Davies has suggested that nature must in some
important manner (as yet undiscovered) put to use the colossal potential for quantum parallel
computing.

When on occasion Im asked by someone whether or not Im happy, Im in the habit of saying by
way of answering that I consider myself fortunate and that for this Im grateful. This answer is
no kind of dodge but an attempt to suggest to the questioner that his question might have been
given a more thoughtful formulation.

The coherent embedding substrate of the brain with this brain undergoes specific resonances (the
nature of which may be affected by changes in both the brain and its embedding quantum
substrate, whenever it finds itself in state in part comprised by determinate contents, is likely to
preexist the physical gray matter and contribute to its development during gestation.

How is the mutual interaction of quantum brain fluctuations with quantum system fluctuations
different from the mutual interaction of quantum brain fluctuations with themselves.

Perhaps pure consciousness is but an abstract projection of the individual consciousness and that
the 1
st
limitation of Being is not universal consciousness, i.e., consciousness as such, but the
consciousness of some particular individual.

The seemingly independent lines of causation that intersect to give one existence must have not
really each originated from some altogether separate starting point for otherwise how could we
account for the coherence and cohesiveness of our being within spacetime? Though perhaps the
departure points for each collection of causal influences leading to the formation of each time and
space bound human entity are located, to be found, within irreconcilably separate and disjoint
domains.

The fundamentally different types of quantum correlations exist: those of a single vacuum versus
those manifested from out of distinct vacua.

Monadic nature of consciousness.

Do we directly intuit the passage of time or do we simply observe the density or spatial frequency
of its markers? Do we directly intuit our own consciousness or just observe experiences within
this consciousness, itself not ever glimpsed?

Borns ontological and Heisenbergs epistemological interpretations of quantum uncertainty treat
the concept of probability in basically different ways what are they?

Is the difference here simply one of subjective probability (constructed from boundary conditions
upon the kinematics and dynamics of particles and fields and the observers manner of physically
interacting with them to produce an observation versus one of boundary conditions upon the
wavefunction itself?

If one happened to recollect memories from a past life so that it appeared obvious that one had ben
reincarnated, then the notion of a soul, separable from the body and capable of existing
independently of it. Would be established for oneself beyond all doubt.

Yet which is indeed the more remarkable feat, reincarnation or incarnation for the first time?
Certainly the latter since both body and soul must in this case have been engendered and joined
together without any help from continuity with preexisting structure.

A woman friend who walks by in a crowd catches a glimpse of me sitting with herself and becomes
jealous. A carpenters square is seen by me laying on the ledge of a bathtub and suddenly is seen
to shift its position, but after a double-take appears to be in its original position and not to have
moved at all.

Death does not mean the de-struction of consciousness (consciousness is not a struct-ure
anyway), only the dissolution of the ego as a structuring of consciousness, i.e.,
self-consciousness. Consciousness permits but not necessitate the reference to an ego in a
similar fashion to how other symbols refer to their objects, projective or real.

Experience requires both an appropriate structuring of consciousness and a certain reference.
The contexts seem to be required here, one for the subject, another for the object.

Television affected the standards of physical beauty in a couple of important ways. Firstly, the
television camera makes actors and actresses appear about 10 to 15 lbs. Heavier than normal.
Secondly, it is more difficult for the television camera to pick up and present the facial features of
actors and actresses to view than can be easily done by the unaided eye in a face to face view of
human subjects present in normal lighting. Social surrogancy might significantly help to reverse
the dysgenic threat posed by the faster breeding, less intelligent sections of the population.

But as film and television technology has greatly improved over the last couple of decades, the
preferences of the casting agent has not adjusted to reflect this so that film and television shows are
now filed with actors and actresses possessing almost grotesquely exaggerated facial beauty
feature-markers.

Those who view the fabulous success of screen stars with petty envy and begrudging resentment
might be thought to be at opposite ends of a spectrum from those fans who seem to worship and
adore them. But in many cases, this adoration of the fan for the star is the expression of what
Freud termed a reaction formation.
