It's true that the library of every possible book would include the
complete works of, for example Plato and Shakespeare, however, if the
origin of those coherent seeming works was not an actual mental
process, then the grammatical structure and the semantics represented in
these texts wthin this vast library of mostly gibberish would be
altogether absent - mind after all is the giver of meaning. This objection
may be amplified by relating it to Wittgenstein private language

The reprocessing potential represented by the possibility of ever shifting
contexts and the characteristic open endedness of any message or signal
boots up the way open to the human mind at any juncture leap outside of
any pre-established system of logic or reasoning. What provides its
potential is the capacity for metaphorical thought which is of course
consciousness itself. It has already been said elsewhere on countless
occasions that consciousness is indeed the metaphor of all metaphors.
Given the vast multiplicity of human languages it should be obvious that
the sum total of all conceivable books in a Borgesean library does not
represent even a tiny fraction of all conceivable thoughts which it would

typically take a book to articulate.

If coherent thought is just a kind of channeling of pre-existing signals
latent within the vacuum of space then this has intriguing implications
along a variety of different paths. After all what we call coherent may
not be an objective property, but instead an absolute subjective one.
Data is a projection of information which does not contain any of the
dynamics by which the information is originally produced. Information
unlocks access to function specific processes which still have to be
explained even after the origin of the information itself has been
explained through evolutionary processes.

Subject: Concerning dreams, aspirations . . and of "making a living" : )

Dear Sam,
Hugo Gernsbeck's "Amazing Stories" was an immensely popular weekly
pulp science fiction series. My father used to read these in the 1930's. In
fact, I acquired most of my interest in the science fiction genre from
him. Anyway, I was looking at the ads from the first few pages of this
publication from December 1927. Several things: the wonders people
dreamed about for the future back then show no sign of coming about
and probably never will because the fundamental values that underlie
them are fast disintegrating, i.e,. notions like "destiny of Mankind",
"future = progress", "the noble spirit of scientific inquiry", "the inherent
rationality of the Universe", "the pregnant inspiration of the maverick
genius" and so on. The producers of this cheaply thrown together
magazine knew all too well the constitutional weakness of their target
audience when they first began soliciting for advertisers, all of whom
you may notice, promise virtually instant success to the respondent,
inspired by the notion of seizing a too good to be true opportunity from
out of the blue to make a sudden break from the mediocrity of his past
and at once finally begin to carve out his own fate (in which he always
secretly believed, but which he had dared not articulate to himself !) I
look at these ads, not only coldly, dispassionately, but also with more
than a little empathy, armed as I am with the knowledge that the
publication, the ideas and underlying values of its inspired but struggling
contributors, the hapless souls pathetically taken in by the magazines
cynical advertisers with the lure of being the "grand exception", the
cynical advertisers themselves, the children of all of these, and a goodly
number of their grandchildren. . . are all dead and rotting in their graves,
remembered only in the sporadic conversational asides and scribbled
footnotes of their self-interested descendants or of an ungrateful
posterity, which is to say, if they are not indeed forgotten utterly, c.f.,
https://www.scribd.com/doc/169287987/Amazing-Stories-Volume-02Number-09. This having been said, let me also say this: were it not for

the inspired creative persons be-speckling human history, we should all

not now be enjoying life in the Internet Age, because humankind would
have hardly advanced further than the Middle Ages, and its awesome
mysteries of wood-fired furnace and bakers water wheel! Have you
ever wondered why the townie-locals always try to corrupt and drag
down the prodigal son who is briefly forced to return to the village of his
humble birth? People who have never been touched by creativity or
experienced geniune insight or a moment of genius almost every last
one of them, instinctively hate the artist, the poet and the philosopher!
This is all by way of saying, dear brother, dont lose belief in yourself

types out there...dont let slip your belief in yourself, endeavor to ever
more court your inner creative voice and by so doing to better and ever
more clearly channel your unique individual spirit. Don't be afraid to
acknowledge and work to achieve your ambition to give to the world
your only truly unique insight, the one which no one has yet suspected,

but which all thinking persons and searchers after truth would perhaps
secretly gratefully receive and which by the way constitutes both the
very core and flair of your being. The morale of the story, I think, is that
inspiration, if cultivated, arises from within, not from a cynical ad in a
popular publication offering untutored persons instant success, my now

Lime Cat I have always suspected that the strange behavior

of the quantum mechanical wavefunction in the presence of conscious
observation (similar to the oscillating fractal patterns - the transients, not
the stable ones -exhibited by a TV monitor on which its own TV camera
is trained) that bespeaks a kind of mediated self-interference akin to
destructive interference which is probably a component of Hawking's
dynamic "chronology protection" mechanism, because human cognition
possesses so many "advanced wave", "presponsive" and quite frankly,
paranormal properties such that the RPG Master Programmers of this
"ancestor simulation" have probably provided an algorithm for partially
insulating the ground state vacua of "physical objects" and causal
processes from the "temporal accord violating" ground state vacua of
quantum entanglement-mediates processes of human neural microtubule
tubulin dimer networks.

the self from the group mind (or intersubjective reality). October 2014 The

Some persons in your collective dream are avatars but most are just filler
replicas.
If you lock your attention onto a distant filler replica and approach it, it
transforms itself into an avatar. This necessitates a reconfiguration of the
self's linkage to the collective mind.

Dr. Vemuri is mistakenly reifying the metaphor of Self as "Ultimate

Creator". The great mystery is that what he is asserting *is true of each
and everyone of us*. Each is the author of his or her own Universe, i.e.,
the only world he or she has ever known, however . . . this personal
creation is projected entirely within the infrastructure of necessary
conditions and restrictions set forth by each and every other co-creator
who has conspired along with one in doing this.

Always embrace what makes you.
All you know, is that there was this strange metaphysical message
waiting for you in the form of this myth of God becoming a man, what is

secretly an anthropic cosmological principle. Built into this anthropic

cosmological myth is the caveat against the desire to become as God is
with respect to His knowledge of good and evil by eating of the tree of
life. The curse for attempting to fulfill this ambition:: "You will dig
vegetables from the ground rather than pluck fruit from the trees."
"Descent with modification" is an inversion of the evolutionary order as
well. Built into this anthropic cosmological myth is the caveat against
the desire to become as God is with respect to His knowledge of good
and evil by eating of the tree of life. The curse for attempting to fulfill
this ambition:: "You will dig vegetables from the ground rather than
pluck fruit from the trees."
Boltzmann built into his statistical mechanical proof of the 2nd Law of
Thermodynamics the assumption that three way collisions of particles
could be ruled out. But what if we include 3-way collisions and add
resonant quantum tunneling, e.g., the giant 7 MeV 3-way He-4
collision/Carbon-12 resonance?) Do we then get a modified 2nd Law
and novel predictions for the behavior of entropy in systems where
quantum tunneling has to be taken into account? A theory (regardless of
how fundamental) is only as good as its foundational assumptions. As
aging hackers still like to say, "garbage in, garbage out".
I believe differently. We are each from the other separate by virtue or
our respectively distinct metaphysical grounds of being, but we have
each made the foolhardy leap into the realm of limitation (space-timecausality) in the hope of finding community with others who we suspect
have done the very same. We are not "secretly one", as this is but a
degenerate form of solipsism. We are rather, secretly transcendently
other, one from the other. The cash value of objectivity is
intersubjectivity, whose scope can never hope to encompass the truly
subjective, which each us indeed are. Plants grow and develop from a
common ground on the other hand, which to my way of thinking
supplies the precisely wrong metaphor.
How do you necessarily get increases in entropy from purely reversible

interactions? But isn't quantum tunneling irreversible? Quantum

correlations, i.e., quantum entanglements are instantaneous and
enveloped within a seeming one-way membrane of Heisenberg
uncertainty, and so dropped within the context of classical, timeinvariant physics, further contributes to thermodynamic irreversibility.

For you the reason for exile is strictly practical; for me there is an
underlying metaphysical basis.
I believe consciousness is more fundamental than a mere phenomenon.
The so called irrelevant details suppressed at the beginning of the
formulation of a foundational theory loom on the horizon of this theory's
reigning scientific paradigm. This is particularly the case when the
theory has itself ushered in this paradigm.
The open-endedness of nature does not support the idea of physical
theoretic Platonism.
"All you know is that, after having been rudely ripped away from the
serenity of the Void or heroically rescued from the screaming Abyss
(take your pick), there was, waiting for your consideration, a strange
metaphysical message in the form of this myth of God assuming the
form of an advanced hominid ape. . . what is surely the preeminent
figurative expression of the "anthropic cosmological principle", the
proper literal expression of which, humankind only now stands just on
the edge of formulating."
Isn't it this spark of the divine which makes the hominid ape human?

Combining linguistic pragmatics on the one hand and etymology on the

other with an analytic philosophical approach would likely yield the best
simulation of a metaphysical system.
Alex, I propose two axioms upon which you shall found your
metaphysical system:
1) the meaning of objectivity is exhausted by that of intersubjectivity,
which comes from the linguistic pragmatics.
2) Subjectivity

It follows that an irreducible residuum remains after objectivity has been

fully taken into account.
The appearance of reversibility in thermodynamics systems is perhaps
easily enough explained in terms of the asymmetry connected with
quantum entanglement, which can be created but cannot be destroyed.
Two dimensional time the space of states accessible by human
consciousness changes with time, but this time axis is different from that
along which preexisting states are sequentially accessed.
Change in the space of possibilities necessitates a 2nd dimension of
time.
Let us apply the anthropic cosmological principle to quantum
mechanical phenomena and laws so as to interpret them in terms of a
dynamic interface between mind and body, spirit and matter - an
anthropically fine-tuned fuzzy interface, in other words.
Quantum physics is transitional between classical physics and the realm
of the mind and consciousness.

Dreaming is a phenomenon of the unlinking of the self from the group
mind.
If you lock onto a filler replica and approach it, it transforms itself into
an avatar. This necessitates a reconfiguration of the selfs linkage to the
collective mind.
Some persons in your collective dream are avatars but most are just filler
replicas.
Intersubjectivity is both the deconstruction of the objective, as well as
the unmasking of the collective. Objective beyond the intersubjective is
transcendent. The subjective particular is their and the ground of
subjectivity, which is a many rather than a one.

Evidence for the absence of design on one level and at a certain

scale is suggestive (in the minds of some) for the presence of design at a
much larger scale and along a much higher level, e.g., the vast genomic
sequence space compared to the insuperably vaster space of stable,
biologically meaningful proteins that has heretofore been faithfully
addressed by way of the former. If nature is not really relying on the
particular structures of DNA to *produce* the information that gets
expressed as functional stereomorphic protein structures (such that
unique quantities of information are tied to unique physical realizations
of this information), but merely for enabling the expression of latent
information, then we should reasonably expect there to be myriad and
perhaps an unlimited number of ways to access this information, e.g., a
bank account accessible via multiple account numbers. (Contrast this to
a lottery where each winner accesses a different pot of winnings). There
is then no unique, natural and original physical or, rather,
con=prn=
implementative realization of biologically meaningful
information. This is suggestive of there being no unique, original or
implementative realization of mind as final interpreter of the data of
information. Physical as prn=implementative infrastructure.

Information is only projectively present within its implementative

realization.
The context for the implementative realization of
information is, of course, dual: there is the physical context of the
information, say, in terms of quantum vacua grounding the more or less
discrete interface for this information and there is the observationalsubjective context for this information. However, note that at least two
of the quantum vacua providing these respective contextualizations for
this information are themselves mutually quantum entangled, i.e., that of
the quantum mechanical system containing the information and the
observer of this system, namely who accesses the systems information.
If there is design, but the design is not for us, but for someone else
altogether, then this design will likely go undetected.
As the mind expands, the universe of discourse also expands, which in
turn expands the possibilities of the future growth of mind and so on.

The results of a quantum measurement are determined at time of

measurement and not at time of system prep or before, which is to say
that, either, there is no possible exhaustive set of "hidden" or "subquantum" variables (c.f., David Bohm, John Bell, etc.) such that the
choices and actions of the experimenters preparing the system are
predetermined *or*. . . the state of any quantum mechanical system
possesses an intrinsic Heisenberg uncertainty. Some philosophers
suppose that, in the absence of human free will, all quantum systems
would remain in uncollapsed superposition, others that, the existence of
an omniscient observer would induce the collapse of all quantum
superposition's throughout the Universe, making e.g., covalent bonding
and hence, carbon-based life impossible. There is of course here the
presumption of the everlasting backwards compatibility of current day
quantum mechanics with both the physical science of the near and far
futures alike. :p Note: if the quantum uncertainty is "intrinsic", i.e.,
observer-independent, then Bohr's "light microscope" thought
experiment explanation of quantum uncertainty becomes a mere
pedagogical device such that quantum uncertainty arises as an
implication of Fourier analysis rather than on account of some necessary
physical interference between the observational apparatus and the
prepared quantum mechanical system that is under observation, c.f.,

in which there is no common space-time among the universes. In

I like to think in terms of organism and systems-based analogies for
political power in multi-level society. Game theory is also a good
framework in which to think about political power and how it inflects
within and across those levels. More on that later. For something a little
more concrete in response, let me say that, as horrible as US Foreign
policy appears to the Chomskian far left, I believe that, had the great
might of the United States been in the hands of any other nation, culture
or people, it would have undoubtedly been applied with less selfimposed restraint and greater recklessness . . . with all that this entails. I
acknowledge that there shall always be decisions that will have to be
made at a level "above my pay grade" and that I will always have to
maintain a certain level of trust in those above me. Deconstructive
thinking is good...up to a point. As language has evolved over the
centuries so have basic concepts and concept maps and networks. These
changes are subtle and don't fit within any one generation's
sociolinguistic concept map, but are distributed over a higher linguistic
dimension - time. Societal and political self-organization therefore
exhibits a significant amount of "causal supervenience".
Especially the discovery that we all reside within an ancestor simulation
of a billion year old galactic civilization... a kind of crypto "City and the

This comes from a consideration of the presumed Gaussian distribution
of extraterrestrial civilization ages in the galaxy being tied to the average
age of the civilization parent star and then also taking into account
where a merely five or six thousand year old civilization would fit on
that normal distribution curve.... a curve with a centroid of perhaps a
billion or more years!

This represents a rather peculiar, but I think valid application of the

anthropic principle to the question: "are you living within a computer
simulation?" :p
That is true, but a knee-jerk rejection of dualism is itself a variety of
box, especially when quantum mechanics all by itself exhibits so many
dualities: wave-particle. real - virtual, local-nonlocal, deterministicprobabilistic, fermion-boson, particle-field, quantum-classical,
coherent-decoherent, matter-antimatter, discrete - continuous, realimaginary (for tunneling particle momentum, that is), eigenfunctioneigenvalue, etc. The above combined with the work of Dr. Stuart
Hameroff and Sir Roger Penrose concerning general anesthestics' effects
on the quantum mechanics of brain neural microtubule function and
consciousness *and* the decades long observed reverse effects of
conscious observation upon quantum behavior of particles and their
wavefunctions means that there is too much scientific evidence in favor
of it to just dismiss dualism out of hand. Oh and have you noticed how
"the new atheists", Dawkins, Hitchens, Dennett, Shepherd, etc. all base
their arguments in 19th century physics and biology while critics of
Darwinism tend to argue from the standpoint of 21st Century science?
Matter provides the boundary conditions on the fundamental quantum
field which enables the encoding of structures of quantum entanglement
possibly similar to how a scaffolding or template can make certain
reactions more energetically favorable. Vacuum entanglement patterns
can occupy the interstices of scaffolding provided by neural microtubule
network boundary conditions on the vacuum electromagnetic fields are
required to initiate vacuum entanglement states mirroring physical
particle entanglement states of the matter supplying the boundary
conditions. This mirroring however cannot be complete due to
inequivalence of entanglement contexts.
There is a complexity threshold for conscious thought and perception
but this is for thought in perception admitted to, registered in, as it were,

such?
One-dimensional time is a shadow and a projection of multidimensional
time. Kind of like a temporal hologram. On this view, so-called
temporal entanglement for which there is recent experimental
confirmation, c.f., the following Quora physics forum question from the
intelligent layman: When measuring the spin of an entangled particle
and finding that it's counterpart instantly takes up the opposite spin, how
do we know that they didn't possess their spin directions before they
were actually measured? Viktor Toth, IT pro, part-time
physicist

This is the question behind Bell's famous inequality (see Bell's theorem).
The question is usually framed this way: is it possible that particles constituting an
entangled pair carry all information needed to determine the outcome of a measurement
along with them, in the form of "local hidden variables", which are revealed by the
measurement but have been present all along? For example, suppose you travel abroad
and upon arrival, you notice that you only packed half of each pair of socks that you own.
Immediately you will know that your socks drawer at home contains the same number of
unmatched pairs of socks. Nothing mysterious about this, and we don't need quantum
mechanics to explain how you "instantaneously" acquired information about your socks
drawer thousands of miles away. The thing with things like spin or polarization is different, in
a very non-trivial way. Suppose you release, in opposite directions, a pair of entangled
photons that are polarized. Let's say they are polarized vertically. That means that if you put
a vertically oriented polarization filter in either photon's path, both photons will pass through.
And they will both fail to pass through when the filters are both oriented horizontally. But
what if the filters are oriented at 45 degrees? Each photon has a 50-50 chance of passing
or not passing through. However, when you perform this experiment, you will find that the
photons will remain correlated; they will either both pass through or neither will, no matter
how far from each other the two filters are. OK, perhaps it is still possible that the photons
carried more than just information about their initial polarization. Suppose the two photons
are part of a secret conspiracy, having discussed all possible orientations of polarization
filters that they may encounter, and agreeing in advance on how they will behave. But the
experimenter is tricky. He now sets the two polarization filters, one at the end of each

photon's path, at different angles. Say, one at 45 degrees, the other at 135 degrees. He
then calculates the probability of one of the photons passing through and the other failing,
using one very simple assumption: that the photon on one end has no way of knowing the
setting of the polarization filter on the other end, and vice versa. This assumption alone is
sufficient to calculate a maximum value for a correlation function between the two
observations. And this value is violated in actual experiments, including experiments in
which the polarization filters were set only after the photons were already well on their way.
Which means that the outcome cannot be explained using merely information that the
photons possessed all along. They also needed information that was somehow
instantaneously communicated from the other end, in order to exhibit their correlated
behavior. This is the essence of Bell's inequality. And this is how we know that photons (or
electrons, the same argument applies) could not exhibit the behavior that they actually
exhibit, using only information that they possessed before the measurement took place.

Consciousness is the intuition of time according to Kant.

Finally, we have to define what mass density is. There are
two quantities that are used to determine whether quantity is a mass
density: the energy density and the pressure (which is a density). A
mass density has energy density with no pressure.
There are two intrinsic quantities to space-time: the cosmological
constant and the space-time curvature:
The cosmological constant has a pressure density that is equal and
opposite to the energy density:

.
The space-time curvature has a pressure that is minus one third the
energy density

The point is that both of these objects that are intrinsic to space-time
have pressure and therefore are not a mass density, c.f.,

It is interesting in this connection that the Universe possesses three times
as much energy in the form of dark energy as it does in the form of
dark matter. The roughly 4% of energy in the form of ordinary mass
was originally extracted from the quantum vacuum (which originally
contains the total mix of energy in all of its manifest forms), must have
been pieced out of the vacuum in some manner that is now reflected in
the precise relative densities of dark matter and dark energy. This is
similar to the relationship of the pressure and energy density of
radiation.

That is the mistaken notion of the neodarwinian synthesis. The genome

is a cybernetic control system.
Proteins are an expression of information in DNA. The DNA's
information is not itself an expression of any information because it
constitutes a blind filtering of merely random changes (mutations) to its
structure. Epigenetics complicates this model by introducing controls,
which are anything but random, at both ends - epigenetic information
modulates mutation, as well as alters patterns of expression of genetic
base pair sequences as amino acid sequences that must be folded in only
relatively very few of many trillions of possible ways in 3- dimensional
space to function properly within the cell. By way of epigenetics,
metainformation becomes involved, and although the path of
information within the cybernetic control system of the genome-protein
system may indeed be one way, in the absence of meta-levels of
information, i.e., information confined to a surface (single level), with
the emergence of multi-level information in the system, i.e., metainformation of the genome- epigenome- histone- ribosome- cytoplasmepigenome- genome system, information originating at the genome is no
longer confined in its path to unidirectional arcs along a surface, but is
allowed to move across this surface. Topology here is perhaps
metaphorical, but serves to illustrate that a paradigm change in evolution
theory shall likely be required, one that a growing number of main
stream biologists believe cannot be successfully accommodated within
the current paradigm of the now 80 year old "Neodarwinian Synthesis".
Once I get my laptop back from "computer heaven", I will include
appropriate screenshots to further illustrate.
Before we sneer at the role of the metaphors employed by the theorist,
we should realize that all concepts upon which theories are based are in
reality only specialized metaphors, which are artificially restricted in
their reference, application and context. But that the ground of these
three restrictions is dynamic, and shall inevitably back-react upon the
theorist. In some cases this back reaction can be stably maintained for a
time, though never indefinitely, the great success of the quantum theory

notwithstanding.

Russell's argument that all of us could have popped into existence 5

The state of the observer or experimenter does not become quantum
entangled with the apparatus that he is seeking to adjust in order to
perform a characteristically quantum-mechanical mechanical experiment
such as that of nonlocally connected or quantum correlated detector
clicks. In general the nonlocal connectivity exhibited by the mind of the
quantum observer is not traceable to an aggregation of historical
quantum entanglement between the observer and the external world. In
other words at least in part the quantum entanglement of the observer's

mental processes is internal and internally determined.

A generalized description of the freedom which the observer possesses
in determining the experimental conditions and the settings of his
quantum observational apparatus is his freedom to select a system of
basis vectors, i.e., a *basis* for expressing the observables measured in
the experiment.

Chance vs determinism... are they mutually exclusive and or is there a
third option or way? wiki=The problem can be expressed as follows.
Suppose that a sea-battle will not be fought tomorrow (for example,
because the ships are too far apart now). Then it was also true yesterday
(and the week before, and last year) that it will not be fought, since any
true statement about what will be the case was also true in the past. But
all past truths are now necessary truths; therefore it is now necessarily
true that the battle will not be fought, and thus the statement that it will
be fought is necessarily false. Therefore it is not possible that the battle
will be fought. In general, if something will not be the case, it is not
possible for it to be the case. This conflicts with the idea of our own free
will: that we have the power to determine the course of events in the
future, which seems impossible if what happens, or does not happen,

believe, Dawkins can scarcely restrain his fury. "It is absolutely safe to
say that, if you meet somebody who claims not to believe in evolution,
that person is ignorant, stupid or insane (or wicked, but I'd rather not
consider that)." Dawkins went on to explain, by the way, that what he
dislikes particularly about creationists is that they are intolerant. We
must therefore believe in evolution or go to the madhouse, but what
precisely is it that we are required to believe? "Evolution" can mean
anything from the uncontroversial statement that bacteria "evolve"
resistance to antibiotics to the grand metaphysical claim that the
universe and mankind "evolved" entirely by purposeless, mechanical
forces. A word that elastic is likely to mislead, by implying that we
know as much about the grand claim as we do about the small one.

I am not a Creationist and I could only be with considerable

qualification be termed an Intelligent Design advocate. What I do
believe is that, analogous to String Theory of theoretical physics, which

postulates the compactification of spatial dimensions, but only at the

tiniest of scales, i.e., at the Planck scale, I postulate compactified
temporal dimensions, which constitute the feedback paths between
mutually exclusive branches of a quantum superposition of atomic or
molecular states. The connection of this feedback is instantaneous within
our single dimension of causal time, and is characterized as
instantaneous quantum entanglement. But if this notion of
instantaneous connection is somewhat disagreeable, then perhaps
quantum entanglement is but a manifestation of a supracausal process
taking place in a higher dimension of time, i.e., within a 2 nd time
dimension. The collapse of a quantum superposition is in certain cases
effected along the lines of a quantum computation in which the new
eigenstate constitutes the output of the computation.

The moral of the story here is that, above is an instance of an "excluded

middle" between chance and necessity, or randomness and determinism.
The only "thing" that I can imagine that populates this logical excluded
middle is consciousness. (I mean, think about it...a computer with
randomly switching circuit elements couldn't be conscious, nor could a
machine with circuit elements that only switched in a predictable pattern
(according to some mathematical formula or equation). I suspect this

hints at a breakdown in the presumed strict analogy between the

determinism of physics and the logical necessity of mathematics. Say,
because what we take to be equations describing unchanging law like
physical behavior are indeed only approximations. It has been said that
there has to be something that "breathes fire into the equations of
physics" to make them "about something" instead of their being entirely
abstract. What breathes fire into the equations is something that we
intentionally ignore or just fail to notice. But what we ignore is
grounded in what we fail to notice.

However, the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics is 1) Only a statistical law,
not fundamental like, say the law embodied in Maxwell's Equations of
Electromagnetism, 2) The 2nd Law only applies to *isolated systems*
and 3) The 2nd Law of Thermodynamics assumes that any
thermodynamic system is composed of discrete states such that
combinations and permutations of the arrangement of these states (or
elements) *exhausts* the possibilities for the system. Fluctuations in the
quantum vacuum field are limited in size by what is called the Planck
Mass Limit, given by: 1.22091019 GeV/c2 = 2.17651(13)108 kg,
(or 21.7651 ng). So a Boltzmann brain could only appear out of the
quantum vacuum within a preexisting physical brain as a new
configuration of the quantum states of that brain's tubulin dimer network
of 21.7651 nanograms mass-energy equivalent or less. On this view,
there would be no actual "Boltzmann brains", merely Boltzmann brain
continuants of the integral quantum entangled global tubulin dimer
network states of an actual brain. These Boltzmann brain continuants
would correspond to temporal bubbles of consciousness, i.e., of the
"specious present" and each BB continuant would be informed by
previous BB continuants through the quantum vacuum filtering action
and resonant frequency tuning *an actual brain*. Only BB vacuum

fluctuations that are most compatible with the intact memory traces
within a given person's brain could likely become a subsequent BB
continuant of that person's consciousness. (In other words, the
experiential continuity of lived conscious experience would not be
merely some pernicious illusion) I think something along these lines can
tame the bizarreness of Boltzmann brains predicted by inflationary
cosmology and string theory and reconcile these predictions with human
intuition and common sense. Of course, there are still intriguing
implications of this slant on BB's, but they would not be of the
ridiculous sort that has appeared in recent popular scientific and
philosophical publications, etc. Somewhat along the lines of Descartes'
"Cogito Ergo Sum" idea, we know that the brain of a conscious person is
*not a closed or isolated system"*, since, if it were, there would be no
context for what is happening inside his brain and "without context there
is now meaning" and that person would not actually possess conscious
states of awareness (necessarily implied by understanding or
experiencing "meanings"). Also, if the brain were an isolated system,
then two identical brains could not imply the presence of two distinct
conscious minds. However, add the fact that each is embedded or
grounded in a historically distinct context of embryo-logical
development, etc., and this seeming paradox is handily resolved.
Human creativity moreover implies that the system of the brain (or
whatever serves as the physical substrate for the conscious mind), cannot
be just a changing configuration of exclusively discrete, unchanging
states for otherwise the changes in the configuration of this underlying
system would be causally deterministic - a situation in stark
contradiction with human freedom and creativity. An objection here is
that human freedom and creativity may in fact be an illusion. But the
objector must acknowledge the disqualifying caveat here that, if human
freedom and creativity are illusory, then so is consciousness and again,
turning to Descartes' "Cogito", we can confidently assert that "we know
that ain't true!" c.f., http://www.scribd.com/doc/47346743/Challengesto-the-Second-Law-of-Thermodynamics

What breaks the degeneracy of real brains vs Boltzmann brains? May 2014
Well, according to what was just said concerning the Planck limit on
vacuum fluctuation size, it must be: an already broken scale invariance,
i.e., simulacra at different spatiotemporal scales are necessarily
functionally inequivalent. Instantiation (of a concept) is a concrete
process.
I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years
before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from
it. - Mark Twain
However, the fact that one is conscious, rather than being a
"philosophical zombie" perhaps implies that the Universe, Multiverse or
whatever one terms this realm of being has registered (and is in the
continual act of registering) one's temporal existence and so Lucretius'
"symmetry argument" may indeed fail, i.e., in favor of the proposition
that the nature of nonexistence *before* and *after* one's brief Earthly
existence are identical. Lucretius' "symmetry argument" carries the
assumption that no metaphysical work is performed by the act of human
existence - an assumption that I suspect is altogether unfounded in the
light of such modern physical principles embodied in the quantum "nocloning" theorem, vacuum entanglement, decoherence theory, two-slit
experiment, "Wigner's friend", Penrose-Hameroff "ORCH-OR theory",
and so on." Lime Cat Another possible breakage of Lucretius'
symmetry: if each person is "called forth" from a *distinctly different*
abyss, (this would certainly beef up the ethics of mutual respect, that is,

such a transcendent "alterity of the other"), then nonexistence would not

possess a simple structure and so likely would possess no such
"Lucretian symmetry" as Twain is glibly presuming.
You could say..."truth splits this degeneracy". But without a
transcendent observer, there's still this degeneracy of ontology vs
epistemology. Infinite regress.

and then god destroyed it and recreated it again. Is that same x or a

destruction."
Since a physical duplicate of your body, down to the identical individual
atoms is not the same as you, (by the famous "no-cloning" theorem of

Quantum Mechanics), which is to say, not truly identical to you, then

therefore the true underlying basis of your identity is not to be sought in
the configuration of some particular set of atoms and molecules. I ask
you, if God had managed, hypothetically speaking, of course, to create
you for the first time, then why would it be *more difficult* rather than
less so, for Him to create you once again? After all, He didn't have a
template to start with the first time, but He now has a template to work
from for a second time around. In a word, how does a feat which was
possible on the first occasion become impossible to reproduce on
subsequent occasions? It is our subconscious acknowledgement of the
essential irreversibility of the act of human existence which is secretly at
work here in this discussion. You and I, because of our distinctly
different philosophical prejudices relating to how we regard this
irreversibility of each act of individual human existence, from "opposite
ends of the binoculars", as it were, view the initial human incarnation as
either enabling or disabling the possibility of a second human existence.
Also we come to the problem with different views of temporality. You
see it's not an instantaneous configuration of spatially discrete elements
which provides the underlying ground of being and becoming
(sustainment of being over time) for ones personal identity. Although
ones being possessed a beginning in time, the very ground of one's being
lies all together outside of time. Via application of Solipsistic
Cosmological Principle, one enters the realm of time and space at its
own good pleasure. The immortality of, or better said, *the eternity of*
the ground of your being is a much more certain proposition than is the
external world and the other minds which appear to populate
said world.

Lime Cat Concerning the "re" in reincarnation. I think it's

high time (no pun intended) for philosophers to step out of the box on
this question. If there's anything that the anthropic cosmological
principle and multiverse theory (not to mention quantum mechanics and
relativity theory) has taught us about time, it's that we should not confine
ourselves to the notion of a unitary cosmic time/temporality. You got
here for the first time in *this* timeline. Since there are an unlimited

number of other times (completely distinct and disjoint) from this time
(i.e., the time that you are in now), it follows that you can always come
into being "for the first time" an unlimited number of times. . . and this
would not be to invoke the phenomenon of "reincarnation" in any way. .
. because all of these distinct times in the multiverse *have nothing
whatever to do with each other* It's soooo hard to let go of the notion of
there only being a single metaphysical timeline, one that somehow
coincides at once with the temporality of the subjective egoic self, that
of other selves and with that of the cosmos as a whole, but once once
glimpses how to metaphorically "shuffle off" that philosophical "mortal
coil", as it were, by effecting the implied mental trick here, then ones
doubts about the eternal nature of the self (read: the transpersonal as
opposed to the tiny, "myopic", egoic self, namely, the one that formed
the original infrastructural ground of one's being) utterly fall away. But
alas, this leap of insight is just too hard for most people and even many
geniuses are not capable of it. . . because it's not a question of sheer
intelligence so much as it is a question of there being a certain requisite
level of imaginative openness.

scare tactic to compel compliance of the masses and individuals alike
with the disguised agendas of social elites. But the notion of hell is
perhaps also in part aboriginally the product of the fevered imagination
of some particularly gifted Bronze Age Levantine tribesman-poets
interpretation of the horror of unending separation from God. Because I

don't really believe in the God of most rabid atheists impious

imaginations, there is really not that great of a difference of opinion
between them and me. In the spirit of an attempt to reconcile my semiorthodox Christian beliefs with a scientific world view, I interpret the
whole separation from God trope for eternal damnation in light of the
following eminently quantum and therefore scientific notions: quantum
entanglement, quantum vacuum, quantum nonlocality, quantum
tunneling, quantum cavity electrodynamics, and I shall include one
additional concept derived from the late classical physics of Maxwell
and his famous equations of electromagnetism, namely that of the
"Gibbs Phenomenon". Applying the interesting and pervasive physical
phenomenon of Willard Gibbs to a quantum tunneling wavefunction in
which the barrier is reinterpreted as that of God-man separation in the
afterlife in which "eternity" equates with the infinite height of the barrier
- required to prevent penetration of the quantum brain wavefunctions
of unforgiven sinners into the heavenly ground state vacuum. The
eternity or *everlastingness* of the separation is basically needed to
prevent the wavefunctions, describing the quantum- vacuum-embedded
functioning of the brains of atheists and Satan's fallen angels from
quantum tunneling into heavens vacuum ground state and threaten to
disrupt Jesus' administration of life within heaven, effectively amounting
to an intrusion of sin nature. (A potential energy barrier of finite height,
however large, permits eventual probablistic quantum tunneling of
wavefunctions through the barrier.) And if conscious mental
functioning, i.e., cognition and will are conditioned by a preexistent
ground of being within the quantum vacuum that is spontaneously
productive of virtual Boltzmann brains as a kind of necessary
percolation process within the brain of each hominid ape, so as to endow
it with self-awareness and a free will, then the only way to excluded
undesirable Boltzmann brain vacuum fluctuations, so as to protect the
new, glorified brains of those bodily resurrected in heaven, would be
to erect an infinite potential barrier, rather than a merely large, finite
one, thusly separating fluctuations of good quality or fidelity from
those of bad fidelity. Otherwise, the Gibbs Phenomenon (applied to
the quantum vacuum electromagnetic field) would permit eventual

probabilistic leakage or quantum tunneling of the undesirable quantum

information borne on the inwardly seeping nonlocally connected
vacuum field fluctuations from outside the barrier. On this view, heaven
is then an exercise in cavity quantum electrodynamics writ large. An
implication of this view is that those who have been resurrected on the
dark side of this potential barrier would possess brains that could only
resonantly tune to Boltzmann brain fluctuations within the global
quantum vacuum field that are of lesser stability and fidelity, i.e., that
are noisier or more entropic. The integrity of function of such brains,
resurrected on this dark side would, we imagine, be much more prone to
problems of internal regulation. It is easy to imagine that anxiety, fear
and hate, etc. and other negative emotions, as well as disruption, and discoordination of other psychic faculties, might well be the inevitable
result for such unfortunate souls. Bodily resurrection on this view would
be a general physical phenomenon much like that underlying ones
original though nonetheless equally miraculous earthly embodiment,
and would be in its universality akin to "the rain that falls on the just and
unjust" alike, as befits any physical phenomenon, e.g., hurricane,
tsunami, etc. A precondition to resurrection in a glorified body might
correspond to a kind of scrubbing of the physical interface between
the saved souls brain, or between his brain microtubule tubulin dimer
network and his unique subspectrum of vacuum electromagnetic field
fluctuations, performed while he is still alive, say, as a result of the
influence of a new subspectrum (corresponding to the action of the
Holy Spirit), such that a kind of preparatory frequency filtering is put
in place, providing the underlying basis for psychic continuity, through
conserved quantum entanglement encoded information, into the up or
good side of the infinite potential barrier partitioning the eternity of
the resurrection world. Since preexisting quantum vacuum correlations
between two points within spacetime are always necessary to support
any causal connectivity between these points, there will no longer be any
possibility for causal interaction between opposite sides of the infinite
potential barrier, i.e., the Gibbs Phenomena of quantum vacuum
wavefunctions would be altogether squelched. Namely, there can be
no correlations between fluctuations of the quantum vacuum on opposite

sides of the infinite potential barrier. This is reminiscent of the fact of

Schrodingers cat becoming so isolated in his black box in order to be
placed into a superposition state that the quantum processes underlying
the biochemical function of the cat in its living branch of this
superposition, e.g., the quantum superposition of wavefunctions that
supports all covalent bonding activity, would be effectively shut down.
And because it is the spontaneous energy fluctuations of quantum
vacuum, which is responsible for Heisenberg energy uncertainty, /\E,
which in turn produces all temporal change, i.e., /\t ~ h//\E, by virtue of
the complete separation of these fundamental field fluctuations into two
distinct partitions, it follows that time and temporality in heaven will
have become totally separate from time and temporality in hell. Such
a bifurcation of the time line would effectively be irreversible because
the event of bifurcation would not be contained in either timeline.

I cleaned this up and edited it some. See also, Frank J. Tipler's Tulane
University and personal webpages. I will probably end up emailing him
the final version of this as it contains some ideas that he might find
useful. If there are any questions, I will be happy to elaborate, since I
have glossed over some details. The guiding insight for me is the
consideration that our workaday world of conventional common sense is
underlain, if you will, by a fundamental fluctuation field, i.e., the
quantum vacuum electroweak nuclear field. So relating aspects of some
important area of cultural common sense, e.g, Christianity, or Organic
Gardening, American Football, competitive billiards, etc. for that matter,
is not so ridiculous a proposition as at first seems. All "ordinary"
phenomena are emergent from the universal quantum field. As Alan
Watts used to like to say,
"You didn't come into the world, you came out of it!"

In digital signal processing applications there is sometimes an effect
known as the Gibbs phenomenon, which is a characteristic ringing
associated with sharp edges and transients. Is this a function of
sampling, quantization or filtering in the system?
There is no "twice". The ground of one's being is eternally given only
once...but there are unlimited manifestations of time. The only reality is
the absence of limitation. The question becomes whether this absence is
a one or indeed a many. Each soul possesses its own eternity.
May 2014

Sam and I agreed long ago, that this absence is a plurality, which
in mutual collaboration has produced a common metaphorical ground.

Each metaphor begins as a creative leap of insight before it inevitably

cures, hardening into an impenetrable ball of a stock metaphor.
Humanity can perhaps be fundamentally divided into two groups, the
one, formed of individuals who bring new metaphors into being, and the
other, formed of those who consort and trade exclusively in stock
metaphors. It has been noted that the figurative and the literal take each
other's place in dreams. So is there then no real basis for comparison
between the two groups other than biology? (Fundamentally similar up
to the very point at which they are irreconcilably different? The poet,
the artist and the philosopher indeed find themselves strangers within a
strange land.

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,

There is a special class of counterfactuals these are a counterfactual that
we would never have been in a position to observe. For example if there
had been an advanced technological civilization prior to the current one
on planet Earth we should have been able to observe that the earths
crust is strangely bereft of precious metals. But this would only be
possible if we were observers from another planet with its own precious
metals to support advanced technological civilization

God is what is secretly pointed to by the unity of hidden assumptions of
successful splitting of the myriad linguistic degeneracies that human
communication is prey to.
Both general relativity and quantum mechanics have passed every
experimental test to many decimal places and to many standard
deviations or Sigma. And yet these two highly successful theories cannot
be merged harmoniously. Does the experimental success of both
theories, implying that they must in fact be harmoniously blended that
we must admit this possible higher unification of fundamental physics,
or is this rather evidence of our hidden assumption of metaphysical
prejudice? Does a so-called Theory of Everything require data in
addition to what is available through intersubjective observation and
experiment? The concept of the cosmic breadboard as the basis for,
for example, on the one hand, a finite speed of light, time dilation,
gravitation and spacetime variations in the local velocity of light in
vacuum from the partitioning of CPU workload/bandwidth, as well as
providing the theoretical modeling basis for wavefunction collapse,
probabilistic quantum behavior (algorithms for guessing the next

computational state) and quantum decoherence (link rot), on the other

hand, evinces a possible deep though perhaps comprehensible
interrelationship between GR and QM. Perception as cognitive tuning,
i.e., as quantum mechanically mediated tuning of brain circuits to
resonate with selected vacuum frequencies and bandwidth spectra
instead of as portrayed in the nave realistic models of sense perception
may point to a threshold, above which, cognitive tuning becomes
independent of intrinsic quantum entanglement (and its selfreprocessing) in the vacuum and below which, and below which these
two processes (which may indeed be on a par with one another) act in
mutual competition.
Must spontaneous quantum entanglement reprocessing be intentional
and object based?
Since there is no concept of consciousness therefore there is no
instantiations for quantification of consciousness. This means that there
is no set of conditions which excludes my being. I am always already
here for the first time. Nor can there be a theory of consciousness
(without a concept thereof). (One can always come back for the first
time as there is nothing to prevent it! Its how one originally came to
be.)
One of the implications of eternal inflation theory is that each observer
within a given pocket universe does not have access to veritable cosmic
time and so in a very real sense exists within a simulation possessing its
own internal time.
There is a growing consensus in New Age circles that life transformative

Because the system is radically reset upon death, if the evangelical
atheists are right, anything becomes possible, as a novel occurrence
since all of the restrictions that might have prevented novelty are

removed. Even God becomes possible, that is, from a starting zero-point

being. This is the true inevitable underlying logic of multiverse
metaphysics. It has been rightfully said that anything at all will indeed
happen that is not specifically forbidden by quantum mechanics. This is
consistent with the principle of the superabundance of unconditioned
being. Da das System radikal auf den Tod zurckzusetzen ist, wenn die
evangelische Atheisten Recht haetten, wird alles mglich, als ein neues
Auftreten, da alle Beschrnkungen, die Neuheit verhindert haben
knnten, entfernt geworden sind. Selbst Gott mglich wird, das heit,

One's consciousness simply possesses multiple instances, however in
the total and utter absence of instantiation of an immanent concept or
category, i.e,. a concept graspable by a finite intellect. The instantiation
of consciousness is with respect to a transcendental concept of
consciousness. Multidimensional subjective temporality is implied by
the transcendental nature of consciousness. All concepts are metaphors
masquerading as such, except for transcendental consciousness and its
concepts, which are purely abstract, i.e., not taken from experience as
indeed metaphors are. @$Can the purely concrete be truly concrete and
un-abstract? Doesnt the concept of pureness or purity imply
abstraction? March 2014 The notion of the purely concrete is an
abstraction and so mind as the only source of abstraction becomes
unavoidable. May 2014 It occurs to me that the notion of the purely
concrete is an abstraction and so mind, as the only source of
abstraction, becomes an unavoidable precondition to an inevitable
phenomenon. This is a good definition of immanent necessity, i.e., the
instantiation of necessity as such: an unavoidable precondition to an
inevitable phenomenon. This is of course all contingent upon
"existence" and "mind" being well formulated or coherent notions.

They may indeed disperse into the smallest particles; but these particles,
the atoms, have their determinate numbers, and the numbers of the
configurations which, all of themselves, are formed out of them is also
determinate. Now, however long a time may pass, according to the
eternal laws governing the combinations of this eternal play of
repetition, all configurations which have previously existed on this earth
must yet meet, attract, repulse, kiss, and corrupt each other again..."

From Aphorism 341 of The Gay Science: "Whoever thou mayest be,
beloved stranger, whom I meet here for the first time, avail thyself of
this happy hour and of the stillness around us, and above us, and let me
tell thee something of the thought which has suddenly risen before me
like a star which would fain shed down its rays upon thee and every one,
as befits the nature of light. - Fellow man! Your whole life, like a
sandglass, will always be reversed and will ever run out again, - a long
minute of time will elapse until all those conditions out of which you
were evolved return in the wheel of the cosmic process. And then you
will find every pain and every pleasure, every friend and every enemy,
every hope and every error, every blade of grass and every ray of
sunshine once more, and the whole fabric of things which make up your
life. This ring in which you are but a grain will glitter afresh forever.
And in every one of these cycles of human life there will be one hour
where, for the first time one man, and then many, will perceive the
mighty thought of the eternal recurrence of all things:- and for mankind
this is always the hour of Noon".[7]
Have you ever had an insight that is extremely significant, but you can't
find a way to put it into words so as to share it with others? I recently
had such an insight. The fact that I can't really describe this insight or
the details of its contents to anyone else, for some strange reason doesn't
cause me to believe that it is any less valid.

Being an alien doesn't mean that you're from another planet or star
system. It means that your brain acts as an interface between quantum
vacua within a partition that is categorized altogether differently from
the quantum vacua partitions which the brains of others, ones so called
peers, resonate with.
There is no concept of consciousness or category thereof... This would
imply that there is no universal mind which is instantiated by multiple
individual consciousnesss. Only subjective metaphors and not

One needs stability to get life started one needs instability to

get species to split in two subspecies which then become independent
separate species. We need a vast continuum of forbidden States
interwoven into the rugged fitness landscape of the multiverse for
otherwise nothing of value can ever be brought forth. The advancement
of science has, since the Enlightenment or perhaps even since the
Renaissance, gone hand in hand with the steady retreat of Man from the
position he had enjoyed since antiquity, at the center of creation. But the
underlying logic of the Anthropic Cosmological Principle, if properly
understood and this understanding disseminated, threatens a Copernican
revolution that shall boomerang with a vengeance. Reductio for the
multiverse with 10500 universes vastly outstripping the number of
possible distinct minds? April 2014 @$One way to invert this disastrously
counterintuitive ratio and avoid all this is to discover that the mechanism
of human consciousness necessarily and regularly invokes what is well
beyond a mere astronomical number of these parallel universes. And the

quantum decoherence limit set at the Planck mass-energy combined with

Henry Margenaus observation that quantum superposed states are
always states of some classically describable object aids us in properly
identifying these myriad parallel universes. They are distinct quantum
states of brain microtubule tubulin dimer networks of distinct energies
no greater than the Planck energy.
A principle of unity implies a principle of design coherence

design as manifestations. Meditate on what it means to process a deeper

paradigm which never shifts. The differential decoherence mapping
correlates with the rugged fitness landscape of evolutionary theory.
Keeping a loved one's stress levels low and giving her attention and love

Similar to how consciousness does not possess a representation, so too
does time fail to have a representation. This is connected to
Wittgenstein's "private language" argument, one application of which is
a disproof of the skeptical hypothesis that I popped into existence a
moment ago complete with a set of false memories referring to a
fictitious earlier life's history. Wittgenstein's private language argument
is thought to be so important to 20th century philosophy because it is the
only respectable argument ever developed against solipsism. The
incorrigibility of the reality of memory rather than the incorrigibility of
memories themselves is importantly related to quantum decoherence in
thermodynamic irreversibility. Although Boltzmann brains are more
massive than the Planck mass and therefore cannot be generated in a
vacuum fluctuation, nonetheless Boltzmann "minds" *are possible*
states of the vacuum during its fluctuation. And Boltzmann minds may
indeed be the most important quantum neurological phenomenon that
can be supposed to result from the coupling of the brain to the
fluctuating quantum vacuum electromagnetic field at the tubulin dimer

level.
In the youtube video, "The Private Language Argument and the Nature
of Consciousness", Cutoftheamateur states that the supervenience of
consciousness increased natural selective pressure in favor of increasing
neurological and brain physiological complexity in the evolution of the
human brain above the selective advantage afforded by mutations or
cultural innovations which merely had the effect of increasing the
efficiency of a classical neural network of stimulus-response by way of
improvements in logic, memory and data processing speed. It is no
accident that metaphors are frequently referred to through the use of
quotation marks enclosing a term or phrase: which is being applied in all
together new way that is in a manner not suspected, heretofore (note
temporal inflection) unsuspected by the listener who has necessarily
received a communication from the other. To form an abstract concept
or idea of a person, there must be more than one exemplar of "person".
Also, quotation marks are used when one is *referring* to one thing in
terms of a different thing. It is not that the mind transcends the
limitations to logic set by Gdels incompleteness theorem and it's
implications, but that the brain has access to multiple Boltzmann minds
through the quantum superposition of brain contexts provide by the
embedding quantum vacuum fluctuation field (of nonlocally connected
tubulin dimer states). There are perhaps no Goedelian limitations in
philosophy and philosophizing as there is with logic and mathematics
because of the blurring of the distinction between levels and metalevels
within the domain of philosophic activity.

The philosophically naive error of intelligent design theorists

is their presumption that grammatical chauvinism on the part of speakers
of human languages possesses validity beyond the linguistic context in

They should remember that the passive construction leaves the question
of a subject wholly indefinite. The adjective "intelligent" may only be a
property of a fundamental process, I.e., one having no beginning in

An agency does not imply a founding. A founding does not imply a

I.e., the quantum vacuum is "nothing". And "nothing" comes from
nothing...Heisenberg energy uncertainty is the causal basis of
temporarily and so could have had no beginning in time. And
"everything" comes from "nothing" because the only difference between
real and virtual particles and fields is (and here's the

rub...*undifferentiated* energy).
There are no things, only "things. In order to do away with dualism we
need to analyze the redundancy of the external world and other minds as
independent concepts or principles of being. Paradoxically in order for
science to be truly positivistic it must, following Feuerabend, be
radically free of any determinate method of discovery and investigation.
Belief that science has a determinate method of discovery is to presume
that the final achievement of science shall be the establishment of a
theory of everything, which is a metaphysical presumption.
Positivistic science, which possesses no determinate method of
investigation or inquiry, cannot make any hard and fast distinction
between the natural and the supernatural.
What distinguishes a brain from a computation device or computer is the
greater independence of modularity of design which leads to the
marshalling of multiple independent contacts also there is the L stripping
of any unified or integral to sign this is about saved due to the plank
limit where in the design functions in a manner which transcends the
look ahead computational capacity of the quantum vacuum field.
All of the operations described by Alan Turing for his universal
computational device are susceptible to quantum superposition
There is certainly an important distinction between 2 to the power of
400 parallel universes versus 2 to the power of 400 quantum computers
within a single universe. Does the natural decoherence limit play an
important role in this distinction?
Compare the degree of focus of attention versus the degree of resolution
the appearances. Is there a degeneracy of case between discovery and
learning about an objective realm versus a self- interfering, self- limiting
cognitive system embedded in a chaotic medium?

Imaginary number mysticism.
Well it is true that long hair usually doesn't look aesthetically
appropriate framing the face of an "older woman" and could create a
perception problem, both personally and professionally. I never thought
that your long hair mismatched your face two years ago. Regulation of
gene expression is no longer under the legacy of a billion years of
natural selection once the child-bearing years are far behind. Regulation
of gene expression rolls over to being subject to the innate selforganizing properties of atoms and molecules. In the second half of life,
therefore, one ceases to be a child of this little green earth, but comes
into her own as a child of the cosmos.
But what is really relevant is not the modern day, but what natural
selection had to work with over the previous million, 10 million,
hundred million, etc. years in the past. It's unlikely that natural selection
programmed gene regulation in hominids living much beyond 30, still
less, *producing offspring* beyond this age. So the relaxation of the
grip of our evolutionary legacy actually probably begins after 35 or so
and granted, maybe is not complete until 50 or 60. The moral here is
that one can look forward to old age instead of necessarily dreading it
because of the possibilities of transcendence and spiritual growth that
our latter years offer. : ) The concept is valid, I believe, in terms of the
combined action of Darwinian and thermodynamic principles.
Now the process of the great spirit of the cosmos strengthening its gentle
grip and loving influence on the genome may indeed extend into the
70's, 80's and beyond.
This principle relies upon a reasonable assumption, the one that levels of
description in gene regulation inter- penetrate, in other words modularity
is imperfect so that it is not just the lower level systems on which natural

selections grip relaxes, but that this applies to higher level function as
well.
According to Whittington, animals could have arisen at different places
and at different times. Instead of descent from an accidental first
common ancestor, we have evolutionary convergence guided by the selforganizing properties of organic molecules from multiple points of
origin: nevertheless guided by a single underlying dynamic. In other
words the common descent is not from a single accidental first ancestor,
but from a single dynamic medium informing and guiding the
evolutionary process as a whole.
Darwin's principle of common descent is false and his principle of
evolution by natural selection is tautologous: everything which
survives, survives.
Because life arose from multiple points of origin, but there is a single
genetic code or language to mediate the evolutionary process from these
multiple point origin, it follows that the rationale of the genetic code lies
with the self-organizing dynamic origin of life rather than itself having
been cobbled together by blind evolutionary processes.
Platonic archetypes offer themselves as a happy 3rd alternative to the
Intelligent Design hypothesis instead of explanation of evolution in
terms of common descent.
Higher mammals such as humans share such an ancient common
ancestor with the octopus that the eye of the octopus and the eye of the
human originated from a common ancestor so ancient that this ancestor
did not itself possess a recognizable functional eye.

By combining Bohm's causal principle with the decoherence principle,

we see that the Planck limit applies not only to space and critical
densities, but also to time and time intervals. in this way we see that

temporality is necessary for the construction of an integrally whole and

open consciousness and one that is prepared to be an active participant
in a heavenly community.
The operation in the background of this tendency to commit informal
fallacies greatly reduces the time it takes to hit upon theoretical insights
which had one can find oneself to correct logical thinking one might not
have stumbled upon for orders of magnitude greater spans of time if at
all and so the fallacies of informal logic we're likely selected for in the
evolutionary process because they had survival value in greatly reducing
the time spans required for hitting up on favorable solutions to otherwise
intractable problem. Hey ready general example of this is the confusion
of the principles of modes tollens with modus ponens.
The robustness and stability of life forms may be better served by
multiple points of origin rather than common descent. With multiple
points of origin the beginnings of life how much less likely to be purely
driven by chance, but partly driven by the self-organizing dynamics of a
fundamental ground.

"Although the proper fine tuning of brain

microtubule tubulin dimer circuits could be managed by an underlying

naturalistic quantum vacuum, so that the majority of real human beings
could be expected to possess consciousness, in a so-called ancestor
simulation, the fine tuning would be at the opposite end of the one-many
(individual-collective) spectrum, i.e., within the ground of being at its
"world end" instead of within each tiny subspectrum of ground from
which the individual draws his or her being, such that only one distinct
individual would likely possess the correct, concretely dynamic "brain"
structure necessary to embed itself properly within the virtual quantum
vacuum field of the simulation so as to become a properly conscious
entity, rather than the hollow projection of an avatar or at most, a
"philosophical zombie"." That having been said, were multiverse theory
correct, then there really would be nothing to fundamentally distinguish
the universe one happens to be in from a simulation. ! It would be a case
of one universe per customer, instead of tiny fractions thereof, each!
Although the proper fine tuning of brain microtubule circuits could be
managed by an underlying naturalistic quantum vacuum so that the
majority of real human beings would be expected to possess
consciousness, in a so-called ancestor simulation the fine tuning would
be at the opposite end, i.e., of the world instead of the individual, such
that only one individual would typically possess the correct "brain"
structure to embed properly in the virtual quantum vacuum to be
conscious. This does not imply solipsism, but merely that, if Nick
Bostrom's simulation hypothesis is true, then each simulated human is
isolated within his own virtual world and perhaps receiving frequent
multiple data (rather than information) inputs from individuals
inhabiting distinct virtual worlds.
Both pure necessity and pure contingency are inconsistent with free will
and consciousness there must be some chaotic boundary between the
two across which they interact to effect freely willed conscious states.

Once we have rejected the naive empiricist view of perception memory

and imagination and how these are related one to another and in turn
embrace a more sophisticated Kantian view of these three elements of
mental functioning, then we become open to some highly counterintuitive results concerning the philosophy of mind, the philosophy of
time and space, as well as the philosophy of science.
The tripartite theory of perception distinct from Plato's projective
perception Theory and the traditional empirical theory of perception of
the external world which has been in place for approximately the past
150 years.
There can be no mechanical theory of inertia.
The mental faculties of humankind can be divided into two
fundamentally distinct groups: those whom once the anthropic principle
is explained can only understand this principle as a triviality or tautology
and the minority of persons whose minds are constituted in such a
manner that they are capable of grasping the core insight or logic
underlying the anthropic principle so as to understand this principle in a
non-trivial way. This is perhaps not truly owing to a difference in
intellectual ability of the two groups, but to deep and lasting differences
in intellectual bias.
A further division can be made within the minority group that
understands the anthropic principle in a non-trivial way: those who
believe the anthropic principle obviates the need for infrastructure or
design within the ground of being versus those who believe this
principle absolutely requires the element of design.
The logic of the anthropic principle applies to the multiverse:
humankind can only find themselves living within a bubble in which the
fundamental constants are appropriately fine-tuned. In turn, I can only
find myself within a bubble within the multiverse in which the

fundamental physical constants are even more appropriately fine-tuned.

We must remember that the only thing that has to be made consistent are
the appearances. The logic of the anthropic principle applied to the
multiverse has important implications for the question of personal
identity: for example, could I have come into the world as a lower
animal or as a mentally retarded individual? The necessity of finetuning of the cosmological constant, for instance as well as the
approximately 38 fundamental physical constants. Anthropic
cosmological fine tuning seems to require that personal identity be based
upon some form of necessity such as a determinate essence of some sort,
meaning that one's identity must already
be given prior to the fine-tuning, i.e., a fundamental component of the
ground of being itself.
While the standard model of cosmology has been largely confirmed by
experiment, a few curious anomalies have resisted explanation. One,
first seen by NASAs COBE satellite and more recently confirmed by
WMAP9, is the so-called low quadrupole. The WMAP satellite has
mapped in great detail temperature fluctuations in the cosmic microwave
background (CMB) radiation that pervades the sky. Standard cosmology
predicts that we should see such temperature fluctuations at every scale.
Both COBE and WMAP, however, discovered that there are virtually no
fluctuations at angular scales larger than 60 degrees. One possible
interpretation of this perplexing
anomaly is that spacetime simply isnt large enough to support such
large-scale fluctuations. If true, this result would set the upper bound on
the size of the universe at almost precisely the size of the observable
universe. In other words, the boundary of spacetime the edge of reality
would coincide with the boundary of a single observers reference
frame. According to the standard view, this is quite a coincidence!, c.f.,

Creator or multiversal vacuum fluctuation are just two different
metaphors which relate to the same really existing first cause.

Nobody lives in the vast majority of multiverse bubbles.

Quantum mechanics predicts that anything which is not forbidden by
conservation laws must occur with some degree of probability.
One of the implications of the multiverse theory is that it each of us is
immortal. Time to address the metaphysics of "incarnating for the first
time" within an eternally inflating anthropic multiverse.
It's not so much that some part of us lives on after our death as it is that
what brought us forth here in the first place shall still be here after we
depart this life and can bring us forth once more just as though for the
first time.
As a former research student of John Hick I accept his view that we are
living in an
ambiguous Universe which can be interpreted theistically or
atheistically. Hence I am
not attempting to prove the truth of a liberal modernist version of
Christianity,
c.f.,
http://www.anglicanism.org/admin/docs/believable_anglicanism_august
_2013.pdf
So on account of this solipsistic implication, the multiverse principle
fails as an adequate basis of explanation for the observed density of
information (in the sense of specified complexity) in the universe.
And because there is better continuity across ensembles rather than
within a given ensemble, temporal evolution of the consciousness of any
given anthropic observer is such that causal continuity is psychically
projective rather than reactive. In other words, the psychic continuity of
the self and that of the other do not coincide.
The multiverse principle as an explanation for the radical fine tuning of
the dozen or more fundamental physical constants of this universe - this

principle flouts another principle, that of causal continuity. I say this

because continuity is more readily available in immediately nearby
alternate universes than it is in subsequent states of one's own universe.
Two-dimensional temporality to which we are attributing the majority of
all sudden changes or increases in biological complexity in evolution
would have likely affected the memories and consciousness of any long
lived observer who may have been in the area observing these changes.

de imoralidade o fato da viva ocidental sobreviver ao marido falecido,
em vez de ser cremada com ele no fogo purificador. A moral to sublime

At logocentrisms core is the gloss of a faux integrated and unified self,
one concealing and underlying a de facto loose confederation of protoselves. This trick of the project-ive unified self is imitated again and
again at numerous different levels, as this splintered confederation of
mental faculties known as the human mind projects its reifying gaze
everywhere and all around itself. Some must suppose this is but an
appearance borne of an incomplete and tattered conceptualization or
mapping of the mind in terms of numerous supposed faculties as the
science of psychology remains in its long infancy as a kind of "psyence
of scichology". One important example of this "logocentric reification"
is the instinctive (as well as subconscious in the sense of
"consciousness-grounding) understanding of all verbal communication
as being on a par with telepathy accompanied by articulate sounds.
The infant acquiring the language of his parents never enjoys the
advantage of having information input to his developing brain, but
develops a theory of his own for making sense out of the funny sounds
being made by big people by interpreting mere data, which only in
retrospect becomes information, retroactively, c.f., April 2014 wik=Ernst
von Glasersfeld was a prominent proponent of radical constructivism.
This school of thought claims that knowledge is not a commodity which
is transported from one mind into another. Rather, it is up to the
individual to "link up" specific interpretations of experiences and ideas
with their own reference of what is possible and viable. That is, the
process of constructing knowledge, of understanding, is dependent on
the individual's subjective interpretation of their active experience, not
what "actually" occurs. Understanding and acting are seen by radical
constructivists not as dualistic processes, but as 'circularly conjoined'.
Though "data" may pass between minds, these are merely syntactically
and not semantically structured signals: information is always created
anew, in situ on the receiving end, though sometimes with externally

received data as a guide to the construction of the intersubjective

envelope containing the data, while the information resulting from the
processing of this externally received data is a wholly original invention
of the individual consciousness of the recipient. [1]

I sometimes feel as though I am living in the shadow of some

great, disruptive and disillusioning realization, perhaps only to be
personally encountered many years or even decades later. No one gets
out of here alive and granted, one's ultimate demise sometimes casts a
long shadow into the living past of the dying, especially if one is
neurotic. I am speaking of something even darker and hidden within the
time traveling penumbra of one's mortal end...unfortunately, any crudely
fashioned chemicals that might be available to the infant science of
psychiatry could only treat this condition at the risk of lobotomizing the
poet in me.

If a systematic and thorough going observation and analysis in

terms of signal over noise ratios were performed on the communication
of couples and close knit groups on the one hand and of individuals in
socially and culturally diverse groups on the other, and the results
thereof integrated with long standing analyses of the dynamics of

conflicting witness accounts of accidents and crime scenes, optical

illusion data, delusions and madness of crowds phenomena,
anthropological studies of shamanic and shamanically-mediated group
spirituality, entanglement of cognitive metalevels, informal fallacies
pertaining to causality, Bohmian causal analysis Darwinian behavioral
genetics, e.g., Jaynesian cognitive theory, Benjamin Libets brain
physiological studies of the relation of intention, retentive memory and
consciousness, and all of this placed in the background of a
sociolinguistic treatment of the El Greco Paradox, it would likely be
revealed that the information to data ratio, I/D is extraordinarily high. A
perhaps nave view is that a perfect optimization of signal to noise ratio
would necessitate flawless transmission of information between minds,
which precisely tracks the internal vs. external, subjective vs.
intersubjective continuum divide. The untranslatability of mutually
unintelligible human languages informs a hypothesis of the
incommensurate residue of untranslatability of thoughts between
members of the same culture who are speakers of the same language.
April 2014
Communication is not the transmission of information between
minds, but the negotiated middle ground between diverse subjectivities
in which internal semantic and associative adjustments are made as
interpreted data are reprocessed on each side of the communication in a
kind of hand shake wherein each party satisfies himself that an
agreement in terms of consensual meaning has been reached. This
becomes especially true when going beyond the relatively unchallenging
demands of concretely descriptive language.
January 2014

As they say, "without context there is no meaning". So the

myriad circulating ion currents in the brain's gray matter can only "be
about something", i.e., make reference to something beyond the
otherwise closed system of the brain, if there is some kind of interaction
or "hand-shake" between the relatively limited and otherwise narrowly
defined quantum processes in the brain and broader quantum-encodedencrypted processes within some grounding, embedding and open-ended
context in which every process in the brain which is conscious becomes

so only by virtue of being "registered" within this embedding

computational-informational infrastructure.
Modern day brain
physiological research, c.f., Stuart Hameroff of the Santa Fe Institute et
al. indicates that this embedding dynamic informational medium is none
other than the quantum vacuum electromagnetic field. Presumably there
must some sort of "cosmic FCC", which regulates and partitions the total
available bandwidth in this quantum vacuum field so that there is no
interference or cross-chatter between your thoughts and my thoughts.
Of course "registration" does kind of carry the implication of archiving
somewhere, say through non-locally connected quantum entanglements
in the vacuum's zero-point energy fluctuation field. By the way,
quantum energy uncertainty is entirely owing to the quantum
fluctuations in this zero-point vacuum field, which through the
Heisenberg time-energy uncertainty relation, /\E x /\t >h, implies that
temporal change, i.e,. temporallity is owing to the constant perturbing
effect of this field. It stands to reason that whatever is the cause of
temporality and change would not itself have had a beginning in time,
unless, of course, something from altogether outside of time was what
had put this field in place.

Analogous to the above is the natural assumption that the

conscious movement of the limbs of the body is on a par with telekinesis
accompanied by kinesthetic sensations. This immediacy of contact that
one seems to possess with the external world and with other minds does
not bespeak either telepathy or telekinesis, but of an operant
conditioning born of self-programming and innate or homegrown theory
construction that was fully snapped in place well in advance of the
development of ones critical faculties of reason. And the lesson of
taught to us from the analysis of the El Greco paradox in the visual
space must be brought through further in the auditory and tactile or
haptic spaces, as well. This lesson stated in its greatest generality is
simply this: that all direct implications as represented in the navely
realistic world of the projective space of Newtons sensorium of the
mind and which course through the bulk of Einsteins imaginative

mollusk are in fact superpositions of constructively and destructively

interfering data streams. Epiphenomenalism is false as originally
pertaining to the individual, though may well prove to be a pretty fair
theory of the relationship of conception and will of the collective
consciousness in relation to its apparent action in the larger world. There
is perhaps then no real collective, but only the intersubjective. This
distinction, of course, is either lost on or matters not to the practical
man. Each differing mental content that is, through the common
conditioning of a shared sociolinguistic culture, mutually addressed via
consonant labels for nevertheless differently perceived objects in the
public space, are jointly juxtaposed and compared, and so although they
be radically different in absolute terms, i.e., when per impossible
compared abstractly with each divorced from its grounding context, are
regarded as mutually and commonly perceived and understood. Mutual
understanding is however not necessarily the same thing as two or more
minds possessing the same or like understanding of something.
Call me a reactionary, but I am alarmed by what is happening to the
German language. I think Germans should be as protective of their
native tongue just as indeed the French are! When I reflect upon how
Deconstruction necessarily applies to itself, I realize that conservatism in
some wisely chosen areas should be among the hallmarks of a true
"progressive". Structure is necessary. Why? Because the Planck massenergy limit and therefore the largest possible vacuum energy
fluctuation, i.e., the largest coherent and integrated physical structure
which the vacuum can produce in a single go as a virtual object or
simulacrum possesses a maximum mass of only 4.34110 9 kg = 2.435
1018 GeV/c2. The operative insight here is best pointed up by the idea
of the 3d printer. In its current stage of development (end of 2013),
machines, which is to say, objects with articulated moving parts, fitted
together according to an engineering design and intended to perform a
specific set of functions, cannot be generally manufactured in a 3d
printer just by selecting properties and then hitting a print button.
Many of the individual moving parts still must be printed separately,
filed or ground down to more exacting specifications and then

assembled together. The embodiment of conscious entities may indeed

be similarly called for: the body may function as a mere scaffolding of
the soul, rather than as Aristotle believed, as its integral and indissoluble
component. This scaffolding may then be necessary for the formation
of the subtler and more finely detailed structures and internal
connections of the soul, for example, to produce a precise sets of
boundary conditions for such quantum mechanical wavefunctions as
describe brain microtubule substructures, e.g., tubulin polymers so that
the interaction (as well as the self-interaction) of certain higher/larger
and lower/smaller scale dynamic components of the fundamental
quantum field is facilitated. The assembly all at once in a single piece of
the human person would necessarily leave out the presence of the very
subtlest of functional structures that by their very nature cannot be
predetermined within an overarching design, c.f., the difference
between, e.g., androids and robots, humans and angels, c.f., the growing
threat of fundament quantum noise to the designated proper functioning
of high density integrated circuit chips (and not only on account of the
stray capacitance and inductance of imperfections within the chips
structure) due to the innate electromagnetic interference (jamming,
amplification, distortion, filtering, eavesdropping, quantum decoherence,
superposition, entanglement, teleportation and tunneling in the case of
quantum computing) posed by quantum fluctuations of the vacuums
momentum-energy, which are fundamental and ineradicable, stemming
as they must from fundamental Heisenberg momentum-energy
uncertainty. Certain important mental features must be learned in a
temporal process and cannot be built in or programmed in. Again, the
body is the scaffolding of the soul, which is absolutely necessary for
the production of a conscious being, one possessed of a moral sense and
a free will and which is perhaps the only type of being with whom God
is interested in having a relationship. The body also provides the kernel
and crucible of suffering, which is a necessary ingredient in the
development of compassion. The angels, which possess no capacity for
the experience of physical pain, are themselves incapable of genuine
compassion, nor do they possess knowledge as Man does of Good and
Evil. Angels, utterly secure in their persons whilst intervening in the

affairs of men at Gods behest are in a somewhat analogous position to

the Arkonides, that ancient and highly advanced extraterrestrial race,
already in a millennia-long decline as galactic imperator, as described in
the self-congratulatory anthropocentric German space opera, Perry
Rhodan, who have been following the evolution of mankind since
almost its very beginnings and who with great mixture of emotions
realize that Mans future in the wider cosmos shall assuredly outshine
their own glorious past and who now look to the Terran race to take up
the heavy mantel of a now splintered galactic empire, but who must first
provide much mentoring, guidance and material aid. July 2013 I believe that
the Perry Rhodan serialized novellas were inspired by the idealistic
notion on the part of nationalist-leaning German authors that a rewrite of
the history of the Third Reich could be undertaken wherein all of the
genocidal and distinctly Hitlerian elements could be removed and
Germanys 20th Century shame could be recast as a cosmic AustroHungarian Imperium.
Russell Clark Jake and Markus. . .Twain thought that the
German language was a dreadful thing. However, for my part, I am a
great admirer of it. English metaphysics translated into this tongue
appears more profound, scientific prose clearer, poetry more deeply
resonant and Eric Cartman, singularly ueberlustig!

Originally there was but a single shooter for the attempted assassination
of JFK but additional shooters were inserted back into the historical time
stream by additional conspirators from the future a second shooter was
also unsuccessful and so a third shooter was inserted ultimately a fourth
shooter was inserted at which time the assassination attempt was
successful.. Interference from future time travelers also helps to explain

the incredible density of conspirators surrounding the assassination of

JFK - a density not otherwise supportable by a merely naturally
occurring linear-time stream.
It may well be the case that consciousness only exist as or within a
manifold and cannot exist as general, universal, transcendental, freefloating, nonspecific or otherwise unstructured. And that therefore this
notion of consciousness as such is but a projection and kind of the
opposite of a reification.
When we make metaphysical assertions about something or other being

of course we can only be referring to beyondness as it were, with respect

To say 'as it were' is to signal the use of a metaphor, but still deeper, it is
to invoke a universe of discourse other than the one which one inhabits.
But the subjectivity of color perception probably can be extended to
other things beyond color
There are many different ways of maintaining the system of conveying
distinctions such as class inclusion and class exclusion and this is really
the only thing that language is capable of succeeding in doing - all else
is collective if not indeed conspiratorial projecting and make believe.
There is however no concrete performative need at all to convey actual
subjective content of thought or sense data, speaking from the standpoint
of the requirements of natural selection. But their certainly is a
Darwinian requirement that individuals of a breeding population believe
that they can convey and receive subjective information to each other
and from each other. This is much akin to how behavioral genetics
favored the development of small splinter portions of the breeding
population who possessed shamanic powers. The presence of shamans,
witch doctors, seers and so on within breeding population enhanced the
integration of the breeding population and helped it to more

energetically unify and organize its collective energies in the struggle for
survival in a harsh environment amongst other competing groups also
struggling. Because we share the same physical world in the out there
and we share the same language more or less it doesn't matter so much
that our subjective perceptions of the meaning of words within our
common language may differ because a common word, though it splits
in two different subjectively interpreted meanings many times, is
nonetheless united in having a single reference in the external world.
Illustrate this with a diagram in the shape of a diamond with a vertical
line bisecting it. The bottom vertex is a word which refers - the upper
vertex is an object referred to by the word, the left and right vertices of
the diamond are my perception and your perception, respectively, which
may differ as to the subjective content of the word held in common
between us. Just think of what's called the El Greco paradox. El Greco
was supposed to have depicted animals and humans with gnarled and
twisted features because that was the way he actually visually perceived
them in just that manner. But upon a moment's reflection, clearly El
Greco must draw the figures more or less representationally - if he was
attempting to draw them as he in fact sees them, since the canvas which
shows the depictions he has drawn would be similarly distorted.

The random mutation + natural selection formula applies

equally well to the competition of evangelical atheism and scientific
creationists, who will always be able to develop an effective resistance
to atheist debunking arguments. But there is a limit to what random
mutations can accomplish, which is vastly outstripped by the capabilities
of intelligent design. If this statement is indeed false, it is because (it
may be turn out to be false on one level because true on a deeper level).
We must make a distinction between a Russellian paradox of
reference, e.g., the set of all sets that are not members of themselves vs.
an infinite regress of metalevels in which the role of cause and effect

superposition, vs. referent. (See David Bohms discussion in his
textbook of quantum mechanics, Quantum Theory (1951) concerning the
mental aspects of quantum mechanics). Discuss how now that the great

evangelical atheists are dying out during the same period that deeper
layers of complexity regulatory genetic control mechanisms and
epigenetics are being uncovered means that a new generation of

Scientists
have
uncovered a compelling reason why the dream of colonizing space may
be a non-starter. It seems that the skeletons within living cells may not
form properly in zero gravity. This means that it may be impossible to
live in space over the long-term without creating a form of artificial
gravity. Most cells have skeletons made up of microtubules made from
fibres of the protein tubulin. New Scientist magazine reports that Dr
James Tabony and his colleagues from the French Atomic Energy
Commission mixed up cold solutions of mammalian tubulin with an
energy-releasing compound. When the mixture was warmed to body
temperature for six minutes, microtubules began to form in distinct
bands at right angles to gravity. Next, the team sent up tubulin on a
European Space Agency (Esa) rocket to expose it to the effect of
weightlessness. They found that when microtubules formed, they
pointed in all directions. Dr Tabony said: "This shows gravity triggers
the pattern." Previous work by Dr Marian Lewis of the University of
Alabama at Huntsville produced similar results. Dr Lewis's team tested
the impact of weightlessness on human white blood cells that were
flown on board the space shuttle. After a day in orbit, the microtubules
grew in random directions. The findings might explain some of the
health problems people living in space have, such as depressed immune
systems, c.f, http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/830193.stm

I am very much for celebrating the great successes of 20th Century
physics but we should be guarded against the arrogance typical of some
hard scientists by contemplating the likely derision in which 40th
century scientists will hold 30th century scientists. If the currently strong
remaining strand of the generalized future-hype of the 1960s which
survives within the current day, i.e., the artificial intelligence community
and its promoters, were destined not to fizzle out within its current
scientific/engineering paradigm or even better were not to be altogether
overthrown in the shift to the paradigm succeeding it, then one has to
suspect how pervasive and successful indeed has been Descartes

What are we to make of the fact that the anthropic cosmological

vastly outstrips the number of bona fide persons, which is to say original

where all the bodies and universes are superimposed although
consciousness do not superpose in a quantum fashion. This is because of
the underlying dynamics of consciousness involvement with the
mechanisms of decoherence and wave wavefunction collapse. So by the
anthropic principle, oneself must be bona fide, but all of the other selves
in one's populated world are merely alternate versions of true or bona
fide selves, each of which are located in some unimaginably far distant
alternate universe. This would imply that only oneself possess free will

merely an intelligently acting automata.

The Anthropic Cosmological Principle constitutes an epic fail

as explanation of the intricate and harmonious complexity of the cosmos
being as it is merely the anemic stepbrother to a secret lone rightful heir,
that of the Solipsistic Cosmological Principle.

Over the data passed away with the destruction of the brain originally

The appearances are overdetermined and possess an entropy the self or
its consciousness is underdetermined, acting more or less as a heat bath
probe though with filtering capabilities, which are quite extraordinary in
that they extract quantum encoded entanglement based information from
the pristine vacuum electromagnetic field. In the reprocessing, the
initial and boundary conditions for this vacuum are also extracted. This
by passes the traditional fine-tuning problem.
The anthropic
cosmological principle is but an inflection of a much more stringent
principle, that of the solipsistic cosmological principle.
Ones consciousness is not determined by some immense,
exquisite set of causal conditions with respect to a particular fixed and
random fine-tuning of the fundamental physical constants of the
Universe, but rather by the fine-tuning itself, which therefore, vis a
vis the Anthropic Cosmological Principle cannot be anything like
random. November 2014 (There is something continually going on in the
background in some ultimate context, which demands that this finetuning be continual and endlessly adaptable and creative, but must also,
in the final analysis, be just for the sake of staying in the game, i.e.,
maintaining objectivity qua intersubjectivity as opposed to mere
absolute subjectivity. December 2013 @$ prn=The internal appearances place

constants in support of the character of ones own conscious experience
than do the external appearances, which concern themselves only with
the apparent configuration of people and animals, tables and chairs, etc.
within one's subjectively perceived spacetime. Consequently, the
fundament physical constants must have been fine-tuned to something
like 14 decimal places in ones own case, though these constants need
only to have been fine-tuned to 7 or 8 decimal places in order for other
peoples behavior to be as manifestly coherent as it traditionally appears
to be. This is a kind of inverse "time scale reductionism", which I will
December 2013

term "frequency scale reductionism", i.e., the behavior of systems

requiring cosmological fine-tuning to N decimal places is determined by
underlying systems requiring cosmological fine-tuning to N + 1 decimal
places. So by the very same logic proffered in support of the Anthropic
Cosmological Principle, one could put forward an equally cogent
argument in favor of a so-called Solipsistic Cosmological Principle.
November 2014
I am reminded here of A. A. Michelsons infamous assertion,
made during the dedication of a physics laboratory in Chicago in 1894
that, "Our future discoveries must be looked for in the sixth decimal
place." (This was by way of his noting that all of the important physical
laws had already been discovered). And in recollecting Michelsons
assertion in connection with this discussion of the Anthropic
Cosmological Principle, I am inclined to believe that he was indeed
correct, but for reasons neither he nor anyone of his era could have
imagined (except for possibly Boltzmann himself).
February 2014

Buosso and Polchinski (2003) calculate that the string theory

predicts 10500 distinct universes based upon each universe possessing
slightly different fundamental physical constants. This would seem to
imply that there is room at the bottom to support hyperfine tuning well
beyond the intersubjectively measurable realm of a mere 4 to14 decimal
places. So the seemingly hyper-fine-tuning of the Bohr magneton to 14
decimal places, for example is merely superadded to the much more
precise fine tuning that is required for the functioning of an individual
subjectivity/consciousness. This is paradoxical fine tuning that starts out
finer and progresses to coarser. Egoic consciousness is revealed for what
it is: an intersubjectively mediated structure of initial and boundary
conditions placed upon qualia-consciousness or consciousness qua
substance/dynamic integral form. Ego is a structure of an individual
consciousness that is effectively the collaborative effort of myriad egotranscending qualeconsciousnesss. The implication here is that, even
if one is indeed a brain in a vat, the feeding of impulses into ones
isolated brain that manages to succeed in producing the illusion of
coherent world (and world view) must be managed through a
collaboration within a collective of big-headed alien scientists and

cannot be the product of a single big-headed alien scientist. Language is

inherently social in nature and the ego is inevitably a sociolinguistic
structure! Metaphysical solipsism is only a metaphorical interpretation
of a hybrid methodological-epistemological solipsism. There are no
solipsist big-headed alien scientists. This is in part because science is
necessarily a social endeavor.

I like the way Hameroff describes the mechanism of the action of
hallucinogens in terms of how the hallucinogenic compound donates
electron residents to the receptors. Of course we already know that this
residence has to do with the exchange of data and information between
tubulin one dimers and the quantum vacuum electromagnetic field.
These compounds simply change the interface where filtering of
information occurs in the vacuum electromagnetic field's sub spectrum's
self-interaction.
There is an important distinction to be made between the aboriginal
hologram and the dynamic informational ground providing the context
for the collective reprocessing of information which is being collected
by each individual shard of the original hologram. Some distinctions are
being suggested here which to me are reminiscent of the emanationism
of Plotinean philosophy or of Neoplatonism.
Hameroff says we do not want strong Froehlich coherence in the
microtubule tubulin dimer quantum switches ('qubits') because this
would result in Bose condensation of all of the qubits and you can't
really do any meaningful computation with all of the qubits in the exact
same state such as would be required by strong Froehlich coherence of
the qubits. The devil is in the details. Similarly we can't have any
meaningful experiential computation if there's only one transcendent
infinite consciousness the hologram needs to be shattered and each shard
have its own state so that in cooperation there can be meaningful
computation, collectively.

he arrived and his original inspiration to pursue his successful longstanding career. The interviewee points to various junctures in his early

chance events. However the underlying logic informing the choices of
this once young researcher or scientist exhibits a cohesiveness strongly
suggestive of teleological influence and almost as though he is being
guided by his future self, somewhat akin to how a quantum computation
is performed by mutual interference of myriad distinct branches of a
superposition. And it is almost as though there is a stiff competition
between future alternate versions of this young person vying with each
other to influence his choices in such a manner that they come into being
as the adult versions of this young person instead of their competitors.

Anything within the state space of possible states is possible.

But pursing the logic of your principle still further, we must say that
multiple (and perhaps an unlimited number of) state spaces are possible.
Exclusion of possibilities underlies the integral unity, coherence and
cohesiveness of worldhood as such. The structure of possibility is
probably fractal, which automatically carries the implication of excluded
possibilities. For example, it is not possible for me to experience your
conscious mental states or sense data. Another example, the real line
possesses a topology, though one that is nonlinear.

It seems all causal relationships within four dimensional

space time can be encoded as quantum entanglement on a twodimensional surface. I think this is pretty solid proof of the holographic
universe theory.
One has to be thrown into uncertainty in order to have the opportunity to
reduce that uncertainty which is to say acquire information and learn.

I like the way Hameroff describes the mechanism of the action of
hallucinogens in terms of how the hallucinogenic compound donates
electron residents to the receptors. Of course we already know that this
residence has to do with the exchange of data and information between
tubulin one dimers and the quantum vacuum electromagnetic field.
These compounds simply change the interface where filtering of
information occurs in the vacuum electromagnetic field's sub spectrum's
self-interaction.
There is an important distinction to be made between the aboriginal
hologram and the dynamic informational ground providing the context
for the collective reprocessing of information which is being collected
by each individual shard of the original hologram. Some distinctions are
being suggested here which to me are reminiscent of the emanationism
of Plotinean philosophy or of Neoplatonism.
Hameroff says we do not want strong Froehlich coherence in the
microtubule tubulin dimer quantum switches ('qubits') because this
would result in Bose condensation of all of the qubits and you can't
really do any meaningful computation with all of the qubits in the exact
same state such as would be required by strong Froehlich coherence of
the qubits. The devil is in the details. Similarly we can't have any
meaningful experiential computation if there's only one transcendent
infinite consciousness the hologram needs to be shattered and each shard
have its own state so that in cooperation there can be meaningful
computation, collectively.
Consider the entropy of the unused possibilities for various states of a

which seemed very much driven by chance events. However the
underlying logic informing the choices of this once young researcher or
scientist exhibits a cohesiveness strongly suggestive of teleological
influence. And it is almost as though there is a stiff competition
between future alternate versions of this young person vying with each
other to influence his choices in such a manner that they come into being
as the adult versions of this young person instead of their competitors.

I agree with that article, Ziad. However, the belief in a supreme

somewhat akin to George Lucas' 'The Force' may continue among the
relatively uneducated classes for many generations. Strangely, there will
be a rise in the belief in both epistemological solipsism as well as a polymetaphysical solipsism, i. e., the belief that the universe is a
collaboration and sociolinguistic construct of myriad individual

Philosophers and cosmologists as well as some physicists as well as a

so-called 'real' universes. Which realization is natural in light of the

There is a historical collection of initialization, updates and

Buy a new and different logical pathway I have returned to the notion of

limits of sensitivity should perhaps be able to pick up the effect of 1 and

Within current Multiverse theory, the number of possible

alternate universes astronomically outstrips the admittedly large but
relatively tiny number of possible distinct human brains. Add to this the
peculiar logic of the Anthropic Cosmological Principle and you may
find yourself in the possession of a probable truth that dare not speak its
name, c.f., the suggestion of the front book cover of the
following:http://www.scribd.com/doc/145774104/Edu-2008-Vidal
Doesnt it make sense that, with such an inconceivably large number of
possible universes that one could be born into, that one would naturally
be born into (brought into being in) just the very universe possessing a
quantum mechanical ground state or quantum vacuum that was the most
exquisitely fine-tuned in terms of the precise collective settings and/or
adjustments of the more than 20 fundamental physical constants in order
to be compatible with both the unique requirements of ones peculiar
flavor of subjective consciousness, the phenomenal contents and quale
uniquely befitting this consciousness and the equally peculiar mode of
quantum mechanical functioning of the spiritual-material interface
(quantum mind-brain) qua reducing valve-consciousness filter? And
doesnt it follow, moreover that, from the standpoint of ones own
unique anthropocentric and 1st person point of view that the brains of
any and all other human beings, among whom one has now found

oneself, the fine-tuning of the fundamental physical constants of this

universe is not quite so exquisitely precise as in ones own particular
case?
One of the outcomes of living within an ancestor simulation is that not
all viruses of the mind originate with other human minds.
Clayton Smith says that the fact that the Pauli Exclusion Principle does
not apply to consciousness is connected with the idea of the fine tuning
of consciousness and the hard encryption of quantum entanglement
encoded information the anthropic principle. In the movie, A.I.
(Artificial Intelligence), the idea from the metaphysics of mind is
expressed by one of the super-advanced AIs from 2000 years in Davids
future that, "David, I often felt a sort of envy of human beings, of that
thing they call 'spirit'. Human beings have created a million explanations
of the meaning of life - in art, in poetry, and mathematical formulas.
Certainly human beings must be the key to the meaning of existence.
But human beings no longer existed. So, we began a project- that would
make it possible to recreate the living body of a person long dead from
the DNA in a fragment of bone or mummified skin. We also wondered
would it be possible to retrieve a memory trace in resonance with a
recreated body. And you know what we found? We found the very
fabric of spacetime itself appeared to store information about every
event which had ever occurred in the past. But the experiment was a
failure. For those who were resurrected only lived through a single day
of renewed life. When the resurectees fell asleep on the night of their
first new day they died, again. As soon as they became unconscious,
their very existence faded away into darkness. So you see, David, the
equations have shown that once an individual spacetime pathway had
been used it could not be reused. If we bring your mother back now it
will only be for one day. And you will never be able to see her again.
There seems to be two fundamental views on the nature of individual

Guisean Buddhistentialist meditative states are achieved

not in the Lotus position, but while standing and gazing intently in the
mirror at ones own admirable reflection. The facial muscles must relax
completely and one must appear as unenthused as possible, all the while
one rhythmically intones the empowering phrase, which one has
received from the master. Then and only then, if one is worthy, a
channeling of his contemptuous spirit takes over and the insistent mantra
of subvocal reverberation continues to grow, now powerfully with its
own inner voice, one possessed of a mildly disdainful Brooklyn accent,
which yet continues to build, feeding upon itself until it suddenly erupts,

Psychologist, Sir Cyril Burt writes: "Our sense organs and

our brain operate as an intricate kind of filter which limits and directs the
mind's clairvoyant powers, so that under normal conditions attention is
concentrated on just those objects or situations that are of biological
importance for the survival of the organism and its species. ... As a rule,
it would seem that the mind rejects ideas coming from another mind as
the body rejects grafts coming from another body." This is the "brain as
reducing valve" idea that was made popular during the early 20th
Century by William James, Henri Bergson and Aldous Huxley. On this
view, the brain is kind of a "tuner", which does not produce
consciousness, but merely "acts as a dye marker" (Terence McKenna) to
shape and structure the preexistent consciousness and filter its dense
profusion of jumbled information. Is there mumble in the jumble? :p
And so when we hear the accustomed inner voice, which we
unreflectingly associate with our innermost self, are we merely in such
instances a highly evolved hominid ape whose brain is momentarily
channeling a human spirit that only ever truly exists within the cosmic

matrix, and the hominid ape's own egoic, experienced consciousness

never extends beyond the 1.5 second duration of its specious present?

I don't understand your point. I think the Puthoff, Haisch, Rueda
theory is wrong because it is too simplistic. For one thing it only
deals with the transverse polarized virtual photons. It ignores
longitudinal virtual photons and virtual electron-positron pairs. It
has no "Higgs Ocean" coherence and, therefore, no possibility of
explaining the emergence of Einstein's gravity. Haisch simply assumes
Einstein's GR, I actually derive it FROM the cohering of the random
ZPF. Puthoff & Haisch do not even understand ODLRO AKA
coherence. None
of the relevant math are in their papers. The effect they talk about is
small and has already been considered in a paper in Rev Mod Phys on
"quantum friction".

No, that is meaningless. The precise equations for this are
Bu = bu^aPa/h
{Pa} = Lie Algebra of T4
Bu = (Goldstone Phase),u from partial cohering of random ZPF in
inflationary vacuum phase transition
Einstein-Cartan tetrad = eu^a = &u^a + bu^a

The moral dilemma question is: would you intentionally push a person

off a cliff to his or her death in order to save some great mass of
strangers say from a nuclear detonation? There is a presumptive
metaphysical ethical fallacy lying at the root of such a hypothetical
ethical dilemma. The metaphysical presumption is that individual
human experience fits rationally into some collective matrix through
which and by which human suffering at the level of the individual can be
massed together and accumulated into some very much greater transpersonal or trans-human suffering say on the part of a deity observing
and experiencing the suffering of and through those many individuals.
The paradox is how an atheist who considers himself moral and ethical
might answer this dilemma vs. how a Christian theist who also considers
himself moral and ethical might answer this same dilemma.
Human suffering doesn't add in any absolute or objective sense, and the
moral intuition that it *does add* is informed by a kind of
'cryptotheism', one shared by theists and atheists alike! : )

Similar to the chronology protection mechanism there is another

Darwinian evolution theory does not propose a model or theory of the
origin of life. So Darwin's theory can be likened to the notion of a
bridge that is anchored in the middle of a chasm on one side and to the
edge of a steep cliff on the other. One cannot begin to bridge a chasm
from its midpoint without a sky crane (or otherwise suspending the law
of gravity). Whatever is holding up the bridge in the middle is still
secretly present in order to prevent its collapse: our sky crane of
course is chemical evolution and the self-organizing properties of atoms
and molecules, which drove evolution for its first billions years before
the advent of a unit of heredity, e.g., primitive DNA or RNA, which is to
say, before mutations began to be shaped by natural selection. What
were mutations or, "spontaneous changes to the phenome guided by

during those first billion years of chemical evolution? Again, by these

self-organizing properties of atoms and molecules. Is there any reason to
suppose that these self-organizing properties ceased to operate after
the advent of a unit of heredity, i.e., DNA, at which time natural
selection commenced its operation? Conclusion: mutations of DNA are
not random, but were shaped and continue to be shaped by the selforganizing properties of atoms and molecules. These principles of
chemical self-organization did not evolve, but are owing to the initial
conditions of the universe, which were determined during the initial
infinitesimal fractions of a second (I say "fractions" instead of the
singular, "fraction" because time likely possesses more than one
dimension) during the Universe's Big Bang when the fundamental
physical constants, e.g., Planck's constant, Bohr magneton, mass and
charge of the electron, speed of light, electric field permittivity,
magnetic field permeability, Avogadro's number, Boltzmann's constant,
Pauli Exclusion Principle, gravitational constant, etc. were determined.
Of course, the simultaneous and more or less instantaneous fixing of all
of these physical constants to 12 decimal places or more (a notable
exception here is the gravitational constant, 4-5 decimal places)
represents an extremely large quantity of information and cosmologists
and astrophysicists now recognize that the Universe began in a state of
extraordinarily low entropy. This low entropy state is now believed by
the experts to be the result of an entropy fluctuations within a much
larger system, e.g., Multiverse. My response to this is: "You don't
say?" : )

It is more than a bit ironic that the only real empirical proof

Psychiatrist Brian Weiss mentioned the possibility that persons

could be reincarnated from not only other galaxies but also other
universes and other dimensions.
Transcendental otherness and the plurality of consciousness is related to
the principle of hard encryption and is also connected to spontaneous
decoherence of wave functions inertia and gravitation also the
distinction between subjectivity and physical reality, interiority and
exteriority. If the outside is relative to the inside, but here is a plurality
of interiors or inner domains, then how do we come up with a common
public space called the outside, that is to say, the outside for all
concerned, for everyone?
Is it truly correct to think of the miraculous is that what your curves by
virtue of a mechanism that is merely currently unknown to us I would
have to say this is incorrect since the advancement of science and
technology reveals ever new mechanisms which are realized to be just as

scientific as other older and well established mechanisms were to an

earlier stage of the advancement of science. Consider here the fact that a
wavefunction collapse occurs by virtue no mechanism at all.
Cosmologists likely fail to understand the disturbing metaphysical and
spiritual implications of their latest cosmological theories. When the
number of bubbling universes greatly exceeds the number of possible
distinct human beings and one considers this in light of the anthropic
cosmological principle....the disturbing spiritual implication here is
obvious.
I dreamed the 'you can't say that in GERMAN paradox. '
Without success of the argument for God from analogy, that is, of a
mind that is both transcendent and universal the argument from analogy
for other minds fails.
Scaffolding vs whole fluctuations vs specified complexity vs intelligent
design.
Where knowledge and reality intersect is within the mind of God.
Science is not the edifice of truth; science is the scaffolding of truth.
No one knows where this place is. This is but one of the many logical
conclusions which can be drawn from the fact that science does not
progress in linear fashion, but a certain amount of destruction of prior
established scientific truth goes hand in hand with the advancement of
science. Just consider how 30th Century scientists shall view 20th
century science and in turn how 40th Century scientists shall view 30th
Century science, and it becomes clear that there is no future stable
plateau from which contemporary science can confidently assess
previous eras in the advancement of scientific truth.

If
Bohms principle applies universally, then the world is constituted as a
hologram. Decoherence is induced by complexity that outstrips Bohms
causal principle, meaning energy acquires bulk as higher dimensional
objects.
Of course there is no real physical meaning attributable to the phrase,
'photon bouncing off of an electron' in the absence of an observer
properly equipped to perform a position and momentum measurement
on the impact site for the two particles which are also waves.
In the absence of an observer the quantum vacuum serves as the default
ground of quantum entanglement.
Can a grounding or substantive quantum entanglement be transferred
from the quantum vacuum to a quantum observer and back all the while
conserving entanglement? Is entanglement conservation violated by this
transaction?
The observation that ambient photons within the laboratory should not
be able to trigger the collapse of a superposition state certainly applies to
the case of the two slit experiment performed using buckyballs.
Nevertheless an observer can use photon radiation of precisely the same
momentum energy and polarization in order to observe which slit the
buckyball went through which does succeed in collapsing the
interference pattern. This is true even though the very same types of
photons existed amongst the ambient radiation with in the laboratory
when the observer was not looking at the slits to see which slit each
buckyball went through and this ambient photon radiation in the
laboratory does not succeed in causing the interference pattern to

collapse apparently the observer makes the difference not the physical
interaction of photons with the buckyballs say through collisions.
In other words if the observer is not watching which slit the buckyball
goes through and just looks at the phosphorescence screen for the
presence or absence of an interference pattern then he cannot rely on the
presence of ambient proton radiation of identical character to that which
would have been required to observe which slit the buckyballs goes
through in order to produce collapse of the interference pattern with the
exhibition of particle-like behavior on the part of the buckyballs. So it
does not appear that a physical interaction is responsible for collapse of
the interference pattern but rather the presence of the observer looking at
the slits.
Nature wanted to be Newtonian but didn't think the problem completely
through.
The acausal behavior of perceived physical reality is perhaps as much
owing to the brains overabundant complexity which outstrips the
capabilities of nature to anticipate and create representations of equal
complexity to those of which the brain is capable. This leads to a
consistent underdetermination of representations causally speaking.
All this time we've been looking at the quantum decoherence and
quantum measurement problems from the standpoint of energy,
momentum and momentum-energy exchanges between the observing
system and the observed system, but the decoherence problem can be
handled in the context of the hot, wet brain and its microtubules and
their coherent tubulin dimer energy states by looking at the problem
from the standpoint of information rather than energy, that is, if what is
happening inside the brain's microtubule network outstrips in terms of
complexity or information density, the quantum computing capacity of
the cosmic CPU or quantum vacuum by which each future time step in
the evolution of Schrodinger's wave equation is computed, then we may
have alternate conditions for quantum coherence, which do not depend

on such things as temperature.

The inversion relations for electron mobility vis-a-vis the two slit
experiment... this relation may actually be applicable to solving the
quantum decoherence problem for a wet hot brain specifically where the
coherent quantum states of tubular and dimers of the brain's
microtubules are concerned.
I see no problem with utilizing a consistent empirical relationship
between two observables in order to establish a new axiom.
These two observables between which our empirical relation exists,
namely that of the inversion relation noted earlier, our consciousness and
electron mobility vis-a-vis the two slit experiment and the quantum
observer. A problem further investigated here should be:
@$
consciousness is always consciousness of the individual not an
intersubjective quantity such as a quantum observable.
This inversion relation that I have been talking about is simply this:
when consciousness is present at the two slit apparatus the electron wave
function collapses so that we get particle behavior. On the other hand,
during general anesthesia when electron mobility is induced to switch
from wavelike to particle- like by the presence of the anesthetic gas,
there is a loss of consciousness. Another model can help explain long
range cooperativity in biomolecules. Soviet biophysicist A. S.
Davydov has considered almost lossless energy transfer in biomolecular
chains or lattices as wave-like propagations of coupled conformational
and electronic disturbances: "solitons." Davydov used the
soliton concept to explain molecular level events in muscle contraction,
however solitons in the cytoskeleton may do what electrons do in
computers, http://www.quantumconsciousness.org/ultimatecomputing/
The loss of electron mobility by interaction with anesthetics leads to the
loss of protein self or at least the ability to protein to control its motions

5.2 A possible vision about quantum brain

TGD framework encourages strongly to give up the cherished belief about brain as a
seat of consciousness. The following working vision seems to be plausible at least to
me just now.
1. Brain and body as sensory organs of electromagnetic selves
In TGD framework life is self-organization phenomenon involving in essential
manner Earth's magnetic field serving as template for the condensation of biomatter.
In TGD universe ourselves involve in essential manner electromagnetic field
structures (topological field quanta) having size measured using Earth size as a unit.
Our physical bodies can be seen as kind of sensory and motor organs of these
electromagnetic selves. In particular, physical death can be seen only as a death of a
mental image about physical body. These higher levels selves are multibrained
organism analogous to multicellulars and use our brains (in particular during sleep)
for their own purposes, c.f., http://www.emergentmind.org/pitkanen_i.htm

If intelligent design is a false hypothesis, then when we examine the

informational structures of life such is RNA and DNA and complex
macromolecules such as enzymes and proteins which modulate the
expression of RNA and DNA, we should find that there is only a single
level of description at work, in other words there should be an absence
of meta levels of description. Such informational mechanisms as error
correction codes, operating systems, compilers, hyperlinking
(computational nonlocality, if you will) are all examples of metal levels
at work within a text or within a computer program which exhibits a
linguistic structure and programming infrastructure that possesses too
much specified complexity to have arisen from passively filtered entropy
fluctuations.

filtered entropy fluctuations.
Would solipsistic Boltzmann brains solve the Fermi paradox and what is
the strange logic that underlies such a propos l? Microcosm exhibiting
microcosm?
Descent with modification leads to a wider and wider divergence of
forms such that any given form tends in later epochs to find itself much
more alone and unique within the state space of possible peers. By the
time such a late stage in evolution has been reached such that individual
consciousness becomes possible and emerges by this time the
divergence has grown so wide that it is unlikely that any given
individual consciousness should find any peers coexisting within the
reach of communication unless a kind of Nexus be provided. This is
somewhat the obverse of the argument that the self being a
sociolinguistic construct cannot emerge in a solitary state but must be
always and everywhere surrounded by peers with which it has
communicated and with which it can communicate.
But the
phenomenon of miscommunication reveals to us that it is not the input
of actual information which leads to the emergence of the individual
consciousness as sociolinguistic construct, but merely the input of data
impulses which are uninterpreted unless a paradigm or theory is in place
with which to interpret them.

Earth's civilization must then be secretly extremely old not only in the
galaxy for but perhaps within the universe at large such that the average
distance of peer extraterrestrial civilizations namely those of comparable
or greater technologic l development may well be too great to be
detected.
We should now investigate what might well be called the Fermi
metaparadox within the discipline of the philosophy of mind and the
problem of other minds.
The dissolution of a paradox by way of the advent of a new paradigm
usually signals the appearance of a metaparadox.
Can long lived metastable states of organic molecules be passed down
from one generation to the next, enabling a greater scope of action for
quantum entanglement.
The process of biological evolution is not a hundred percent onward and
upward just consider the case first considered by Darwin himself of
placing newer or modified species in competition with their earlier for
bears in the current environment of the modified species and how the
newer or modified species would merge victorious rendering the
extinction of the order forms from which they are derived and now
having said this consider someone to reverse case where the newer or
modified forms of the older species are placed in the folder species
contemporary environment and allowed to compete with him there here
the advantage would not be so clear of the newer forms over the older
ancestral forms because of the consideration of coevolution and ecology.
That an individual consciousness' apparent peers are intelligent is more a
testament to the ultra high fine tuning of that individual mind's
consciousness than it is to the fine tuning of the brains of those peers.
Note here that we are relating the fine tuning of consciousness with fine
tuning of brains.

The existence of a specious present is inconsistent with the principle of

time scale reductionism. Moreover time scale reduction ism is
incompatible with multi- dimensional time.
Young souls have many peers old souls are relatively peerless.
Of course this principle would not be expected to hold within a universe
that is infinitely old.
This principle would only be expected to hold the universe which had a
beginning.
Only truly old souls would be expected to possess consciousness
because of the radical context dependency of consciousness what
provides this context myriad previous life times and the sensory
perception inputs and quantum entanglement generated there from along
with proto conscious thought processes lay down in the quantum back
you providing ever richer contacts from which future incarnations may
draw and in so doing the context for future incarnations becomes ever
richer so that greatly more aged souls appearing in those later
incarnations shell if she the necessary context in order to experience
self-awareness.
Hypothesized entities substances and principles this is the mainstay of
the 19th century amateur natural philosopher such as Darwin.
I found Robert Zubrin's statement very intriguing, namely, that since the
simplest creatures on the planet are bacteria and bacteria are extremely
advanced in terms of their cellular machinery and the language of their
genetic code which is to say DNA that to assume that bacteria are at the
beginning of the evolutionary process is like assuming that the iPhone is
at the beginning of the technological evolutionary process.
It was upon these considerations that Robert Zubrin considered it likely

that life originated elsewhere perhaps on Mars or perhaps another star

system which passed through our solar system's Oort cloud, causing
comets from its corresponding Oort- like cloud to seed the Earth's inner
solar system with organic material.

Transgressing the boundaries in one's written communications means
busting up pre- registered complexes of behavioral epigenetics of one's
naive, untutored reader.
Is it possible to distinguish these two cases: differentiation of selves
versus differentiation of the otherness of selves?
The concept of consciousness is grounded in the otherness of the self not
in the self as one among many instantiations of consciousness per se or
as such.
Given the level of consciousness attainable by ordinary human beings on
planet Earth it is puzzling how long are life spans can be upwards of 100
years and not necessarily accompanied by serious mental decline or
diminution of self-awareness puzzling when one considers how utterly
small is the socio linguistic and cultural milieu of planet Earth for such
persons.
PETA disclaimer: no Christians were offended during the posting of this
comment.
When Jesus opened St Paul's eyes, he opened them too wide.
From Sartre's Being and Nothingness: cit=If we attempt somehow
regarding the Other what Descartes attempted to do for God with that
extraordinary proof by the idea of perfection which is wholly
animated by the intuition of transcendence, then for our apprehension of

the Other qua Other we are compelled to reject a certain type of negation
which we have called an external negation. The Other must appear to the
cogito as not being me. This negation can be conceived in two ways:
either it is a pure, external negation, and it will separate the Other from
myself as one substance from another substance and in this case all
apprehension of the Other is by definition impossible; or else it will be
an internal negation, which means a synthetic, active connection of the
two terms, each one of which constitutes itself by denying that it is the
other. This negative relation will therefore be reciprocal and will possess
a twofold interiority: This means first that the multiplicity of Others
will not be a collection but a totality (in this sense we admit that Hegel is
right) since each Other finds his being in the Other. It also means that
this Totality is such that it is on principle impossible for us to adopt the
point of view of the whole. In fact we have seen that no abstract
concept of consciousness can result from the comparison of my beingfor-myself with my object-state for the Other. Furthermore this totality
like that of the For-itself is a detotalized totality; for the since
existence-for-others is a radical refusal of the Other, no totalitarian and
unifying synthesis of Others is possible. It is in the light of these few
observations that we in turn shall now attack the question of the The
Other.
Consciousness my consciousness even is more general then the most
general medium of my own experience this also points up the
transcendental nature of consciousness and the concept of
consciousness. Does the notion of consciousness as con sciousness
point, etymologically speaking, to the socially context based nature of
consciousness?
@$

Consciousness as such or in general transcends my individual

consciousness in much the same way that objectivity transcends
intersubjectivity
Penrose's one graviton Planck mass energy limit can be r cast in terms of
quantum information theory, which is to say in terms of the abstract

relationships such as combinations and permutations of the various

relationships between the physical components of a quantum system
which can outstrip in complexity the computing capacity of the
underlying quantum field. This is because the quantum field, whose
entanglements constitute at the very least the causal relationships by
which the quantum vacuum computes each succeeding state of the
Schrodinger wave equation for the system, *is physical* and increases in
mass according to the cube of the system radius, while the abstract
description of the system, i.e., its wavefunction, increases exponentially
with the radius. Spontaneous decoherence is a function of how the
abstract overwhelms the purely physical that is responsible for
computing all future states of Psi.

Consider causal relationships with which the universe or

Certain informal fallacies of reasoning had survival value because they

Instead of following established procedures you know somebody who

position in the game of chess by playing step by step in conformance

directly onto the board in such a manner that an otherwise impossible
mating position is effected.
This points up the relationship between free will and self-consciousness

particularly in connection with Kurt Gdels Incompleteness Theorems.

Consciousness has a knowledge of the system by which its will is
implemented in the world, its limitations as well as its proactivities.
The logic of coherent tiny subdomains of genetic base pair sequences as
yet untried within a virtually infinite state-space of possible genetic base
pair sequences. How is optimization in an evolutionary sense possible
within such a virtually infinite state space? That is, given the large
negentropy barriers that separates different degrees of fitness on the
rugged fitness landscape. Is the ground of emergence transcendent and
necessarily so? Can teleology in evolutionary biology be an emergent
property?
The soul is the basis but not the ground of spiritual development.
Equivocation of sense is the basis of many logical fallacies but it is also
the basis of the intuition which permits thinkers to sneak outside of a
given system or paradigm. October 2013 An interesting example of
equivocation of sense is the obvious ambiguity of the phrase,
philosophical zombies, that is, between its technical philosophy of
mind acceptation and one of its more ordinary language or literal
interpretations. For example, do philosophical zombies in sense A tend
towards philosophical zombiehood in sense B, and so on?
Many seeming paradoxes are borne of our inability to adjust the sense
and scope of our technical terms with which we treat problem's analysis.
Paradoxically the delayed choice experiment was devised both to
demonstrate nonlocality and that quantum entanglement of spins was a
genuine physical effect.
Quantum nonlocality and David Bohm's causality principle suggest that
the world is indeed a type of computer simulation the quantum vacuum
serves the purpose here as the cosmic quantum CPU

The fact that quantum non-local information cannot be transmitted faster

than light is an indication that quantum nonlocally connected or encoded
information may form the basis at least in part of the integral unity of the
individual consciousness, information which is hard quantum encrypted.
The principle of quantum nonlocality teaches us that what we call
substance is an emergent phenomenon or property which arises above
the Planck limit.
And this would be manifestly favorable to natural selection by
affording a better chance of the occurrence of profitable variations.
Unless such occur, natural selection can do nothing, c.f., Darwins
Origin of Species.
Darwin's remarks concerning changing conditions increasing variation
from his seminal work, TOOS: 'and this would be manifestly favorable
to natural selection by affording a better chance of the occurrence of
profitable variations. Unless such occur, natural selection can do
nothing.' Note that profitable changes, triggered or enabled by
environmental change in a random fashion, nevertheless rely on
coherent and coordinated reactions at the genetic level.
Explain time bubble analogy in the species present as a means of

Re investigate conservation of four dimensional angular momentum in

The diamond in the rough model of intersubjective communication
applied to the infant's development of a hypothesis of speech sound
meanings.
The DRM model demonstrates that information was never transmitted to
the brain or mind of the infant and that all of the meanings and coherent
structures of perception and cognition which the child develops later on
are wholly the product of transformations, reactions, processing and
reprocessing of data into information which took place within the brain
of the child.
Derivative time versus integral time.
When you observe 2 people are communicating at cross purposes
perhaps secretly in agreement with each other say from the point of view
of a third party, or a comedy of errors of misunderstanding is playing
out, which reminds one that no information is out into anyone's head
until they already understand the signifiers.
Theistic evolution involves supernatural quality control and quality
assurance applied to the process of natural selection by a super
intelligent designer engineer such that Richard Dawkins' mount
improbable is always the tallest mount improbable and never the
smallest mount improbable.
Genetic drift is not enough to provide natural selection with the
variability that it needs to select from for beneficial mutations there must
be a gradient in addition to genetic drift which drives the forward
advance of greater and greater complexity this gradient with the advent
of the first unit of heredity would have been that gradient that drove the

billion years of chemical evolution leading from carbon hydrogen

oxygen nitrogen to the very first primitive RNA or DNA molecule.
An important question is whether or not with the advent of the first
replicating information bearing molecules primitive RNA or primitive
DNA, whether or not feedback: occurred between the gradient which
drove chemical evolution and these first information bearing molecules,
changing that gradient and perhaps steepening it. A dynamic interaction
between mind at large and the wavefunction of organic molecules seems
to be required here.
Shouldn't there be some limitations on the complexity of unitary wave
wavefunctions, which is to say a limit on how complex a wavefunction
can be without either being a superposition or devolving into a density
matrix representation of a statistical mixture.'' a statistical mixture of I
can functions does not have a corresponding quantum observable. So the
limitation on wave function complexity is twofold on the one hand there
is a wave functions which is too complex to be observed in the sense of
having a corresponding observable on the other hand the wavefunction
represents a system which cannot be computed by the cosmic CPU or
quantum vacuum because it out strips the representation capabilities of
that quantum vacuum.
The dynamics of chemical evolution form the subconscious for the
process of biological evolution and are responsible for all of its
fortuitous insights into more perfect adaptation and coadaptation.

Does the sociology of science really have nothing valid to say on this

fancy themselves smart, have already made up their minds as to on
which side of the issues they stand. So any polemical work does well to
state up front what ax is being ground with the understanding that the
work shall only serve, if it succeeds at all, in providing grist to already
like-minded souls, who are more or less passionate about the positions
on the issues, which they hold in common with the author. If a goodly
many of these kindred spirits perceive that the authors work provides
them with additional rational justification for already long held
intellectual prejudices, then the polemical work offered has every chance
of being a success. By and large humans do not hear much less do they
heed messages from outside of their respective echo chambers. It is the
height of arrogance to believe that one is skilled enough to fashion an
argument which can succeed in changing some smart persons stand on
any important issue. Experienced polemicists know this and yet they still
devote much effort to conceiving clever arguments and submitting them
for publication. The motivation here is primarily desire for monetary
gain.
If we consider all possible worlds there may be plenty of
universes with naturally occurring fine-tuned constants, but there may be
more fine-tuned universes that have a god who set those constants. This
argument rests on the assumption that the most likely explanation for
improbable (in this particular sense) non-evolved things is intelligence.
It is more of analogical argument and might be summarized as: "from
our experience we can see that non-evolved things that exhibit the
characteristics of being delicately balanced to achieve something
complex (in this case life) are more likely to be designed than to come
about by chance". As au=Plantinga puts it: "It's as if there are a large
number of dials that have to be tuned to within extremely narrow limits
for life to be possible in our universe. It is extremely unlikely that this
should happen by chance, but much more likely that this should happen
if
there
is
such
a
person
as
God",

The superposition of macroscopic objects points up the

importance of quantum entanglement between sub Planck mass cellular
units, each maintaining its own coherence and unitary evolution
although simultaneously nonlocally connected, at least each to its
neighbors. Hierarchical entanglement and the role of consciousness in

piecing out the macroscopic world.

'Quantum gravity and consciousness - what's the connection? Following
Stuart Hameroff, Roger Penrose and their ORCH-OR theory, as well as
au=
Robert Lanza's Biocentrism, we say that, because of the Planck massenergy quantum decoherence limit, the microworld and the macroworld
must shake hands, as it were inside our own heads, but only there. The
only thing we know of with the power of the bootstrap is consciousness
itself, and so a workable 'theory of everything', i e., a theory of
'something's coming from nothing' has to be sought there. I mean, a
'philosophical zombie' is not going to give us such a theory.'

"Shannon information with its notion of information being

equivalent to a reduction in uncertainty does not take into account the
intentionality and context sensitivity of information (the "uncertainty"
must be "about something" because information itself - as interpreted
data - must be "about something"). Reductionistic causal links dissolve
into the inherent fuzziness of space-time (at the micro level), which is
dictated by the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. It is intuitively evident
that this fuzziness is dynamic and forms the substrate of the very
operation of mind as a particular instantiation of consciousness even
though mind cannot possess or conceive of a general notion, concept or
category of what consciousness is, c.f., Gdels Incompleteness.
Consciousness *as such* on the other hand, may well be more
fundamental than this "spacetime fuzziness", which may indeed rather
represent the natural indefatigable restlessness of this broader
consciousness - what eastern mystics term "the play of Lila". The
infinite regress prompted by the question, "why is there something rather
than nothing", is not a reductio ad absurdum. It is rather the inevitably
dynamic nature and restless condition of being. Quantum decoherence
prevents the collapse of the causal chain (at the macro level) and thus
allows the operation of temporality. In a subtly analogous way, quantum
decoherence also prevents the reduction of the higher pleasures of life
such as spiritual or intellectual pleasures to mere utilitarian calculated
sums of equivalent small quantities of direct stimulation of the hominid-

ape brain's pleasure center. In short, quantum decoherence introduces

just enough of just the right compartmentalization of experience in order
to prevent the annihilation of spiritual potentiality which is otherwise
borne of the totalization of experience as reprocessed stimulusresponse."
They use the right language that proves they understand the problem.
We don't need a concept of consciousness if there is only one
consciousness. 'One of a kind' is not a kind and is a contradiction in
terms.

This notion of all together new information which necessarily

comes from outside of the system rather than simply resulting from the
reprocessing or reshuffling of information already latent in the system is
interesting in connection with the theory of intelligent design. The
paradox of functional information is that non- functional information

plays an essential role in providing the infrastructural context which is

metainformation. If the universe has always been here, then why hasn't it
collapsed under the weight of the trash piled up outside? There should
be a big difference between genetic bootstrapping and the mere
execution of a genetic algorithm. Quantum nucleation instead of
singularity, decoherence, self- existence, thermodynamics. What if being
and existence are derivative categories in but tiny portions of the
unlimited? Such questions are prompted by meditation upon the notion
of transcendence. Free will means if the unlimited opportunity is given
humanity to go back and replay its historical course, then human history
would never replay the same way twice, but only occasionally appear to
do so. @$The singularity occurs at the point at which our software
merges with the ancestor simulation software.
August 2013

Given a properly full blooded concept of transcendence,

existence itself becomes a predicate. This is because existence would no
longer be the most general mode of being, but merely one mode of being
alongside other modes of being, e.g., mathematical subsistence, and it
would then become meaningful to speak of existence as a predicate,
since existence would not then itself be utmost in generality.

I wonder what Alvin Plantinga and Joseph Campbell would have made
of the logic of the anthropic principle had they encountered it during
their heyday as philosophers.
The transcendental nature of the anthropic cosmological principle
consists in the fact that this principle applies equally to each and every

person amongst the myriad persons that exist in this universe.

The initial and boundary conditions of the universe are after a fashion
like a Bible Code palimpsest.
It depends on which encryption key code (in the sense of consciousness
as individualized hard encryption) one applies in interpreting this
cosmological Bible code in these boundary and initial conditions as to
which solipsistic cosmological principle is realized in actuality.
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.
December 2012

July 2013

The magnitude of gravitational field intensity is ceteris paribus

correlated with the strength of gravitational time dilation (weak field
approximation), but is also thought to drive, in part at least, quantum
decoherence, itself a temporal process. Quantum decoherence appears
the only temporal process currently known to science whose rate is not
subject to gravitational time dilation in the same uniform manner as
indeed are all other known temporal (physical) processes. This suggests
that the mechanism underlying quantum decoherence may be among the
building blocks of the mechanism of gravitation. The discovery of any
remaining building blocks of this mechanism perhaps have to await the
identification of further nonuniformities in the response of specific

physical processes to the effects of gravitational time dilation. Now if

per impossible some form of dualism turned out to be the case, then we
might anticipate some new form of deep space sickness in the form of a
kind of insidious and cumulative impairment of normal mental
functioning experienced by astronauts during long voyages in zero gee
or artificial gravity, say via nonuniform alternation in tubulin dimer
decoherence in relation to the temporal evolution of brain quantum
coherent states and this on account of the twofold differential action of
gravitational time dilation upon quantum brain coherent and de-coherent
processes, heretofore unseen by the processes of natural selection which
originally fashioned an astronauts hominid apes brain.
It is obvious that if there was sufficient chemicals self-organization at
the level of atoms and simple organic molecules to drive forward the
first billion years of chemical evolution prior to the advent of a unit of
heredity then the first primitive organisms would have arisen
everywhere across the surface of the earth and at more or less the same
time. So Darwin's notion of descent with modification from a common
primitive ancestor is thus seen to be readily falsified. Neither chance nor
necessity can explain the origin of specified complexity in the genome.
There is a third category which is the action of an intelligent will of a
designer or genetic engineer. The third category is not self-organization
operating exclusively on its own but that of a self-organizing dynamic
operating under the influence and input of intelligence or conscious
mind.
Information doesnt come from the physics and the chemistry, but out of
how these processes are deployed or arranged just like how general
anesthesia is not induced as a result of a specific chemical action.

But there's still the problem of how to avoid the seeming

necessity of extending the logic of the anthropic cosmological principle
from the penultimate fine-tuning of physical constants in terms of
making carbon-based life a winning possibility to the ultimate finetuning of said constants in terms of *my* consciousness - inevitable in

the fullness of infinite time (what is called the fine-tuning of

consciousness) - that is, within the context of a "Mixmaster multiverse"
wherein every possible individual consciousness, yours, mine, Bhoutros
Bhoutros Gali's, etc. is inevitably at some point called forth unbidden
from the screaming abyss *into its own anthropically, er, uh,
solipsistically fine-tuned, biocentric universe* populated by yours truly
and a host of also-ran "philosophical zombies". http://wwwastro.physics.ox.ac.uk/~ddarg/pdf/FT_of_consciousness.pdf The happy
appearances within this otherwise dismal poly-solipsistic scenario are
presumably only saved by admitting, contra hyp, those aforementioned
Boltzmann brains, albeit quantum-entangled ones (by virtue of BB's
necessarily being engendered within a unitary underlying, fundamental
physical, which is to say, quantum, process, e.g., "Big Bang" or
whatever). The cash value of objectivity is "intersubjectivity" although
logically the "subjective" (read here: "infra-subjective") has no analysis
in "inter-subjective" terms. This emergent economy of rationally selfinterested, though cosmically lonely transcendent beings who are
inadvertently collaborating to produce the workaday world of utilitarian
common sense seems unavoidable when you consider that the realm of
limitation (space, time, causality, and so on) provides the only possible
avenue of escape for beings otherwise forever bored by the powerful
illusion of knowing everything. This headlong dive into the realm of
limitation is foolhardy based as it was upon a hope against hope that
there must be others who are similarly bored. [insert forgotten quotation

Combine Plantingas modal ontological argument (MOA) for Gods
existence with the multiverse of Tipler and Barrows Anthropic
Cosmological Principle (ACP) through identification of the term,

possible world in the MOA with universe in the ACP in which these
universes comprise the multiverse. In so doing one naturally asks oneself
the question: would I have been called forth from the void (by the
solipsistic cosmological principle (SCP), i.e., the logic of the ACP
applied and brought down to the level at which each self-aware mind is
generated - by the multiverse) into a universe in which God, who is
admittedly possible in some universes, i.e., possible worlds, is not
possible? Perhaps only as a philosphical zombie (in other words only
as an entity that others might confuse with being me). An important
supplementary question here isdoes God fail to exist in universes in
which He is possible, which given Gods omnipotence should be
rephrased as the followingdoes God choose not to exist in any
universes in which He is possible, still more in which I now exist? To
wit, did God abandon me? If so, then for what possible reason?
The modal ontological argument can be attacked at an additional point to
that of the concept or definition of a maximally great being. This
second weak point of the MOA, which I have never seen anyone attack
before is this notion that the actual world is included in the set of all
possible worlds. But just as fire must be breathed into the equations of
physics in order for our mathematically describable universe to be real
as opposed to merely possible, some crucial factor sets the real world
apart from this world as merely hypothetical. Similarly, there is an
important distinction between an eigenvector in a quantum superposition
and its corresponding eigenvalue as an experimental outcome of the

TUTTO QUELLO CHE SAI FALSO to Leah Haight). October 2014 The signature
line above is related to my observation that most cutting edge cosmological
theories carry implications on multiple levels that call into serious question the
empirical basis for said theories.
By the very same logic proffered in support of the Anthropic Cosmological
Principle one could put forward an equally cogent argument in favor of a so-called
Solipsistic Cosmological Principle. But any argument which cannot be
communicated (because of the necessary absence of an audience to hear and
understand it) must be rejected out of hand.

One should, of course go on to consider the probabilities of the

polysolipsistic cosmological principle. Each of us is here as a
conscious being entertaining the logic of the anthropic cosmological
principle and so the fact of ones being here means that the universe or
multiverse (in which a rampant fecundity principle is a corollary) had to
be structured and function in just such a manner as to bring oneself into
self-conscious existence. This notion carries the implication that the
varying temporal (or multi-temporal for that matter) conditions that from
eternity past had conspired to bring one into being, unbidden from the
screaming abyss were enabling factors, i.e., some finite set of
necessary conditions, say like the application of cold water, slaps to the
face and smelling salts to a person who has fallen unconscious rather
than a sufficient condition for creation of ones self, whole-cloth ex
nihilo.
"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).

Because the seemingly genetically hard-wired confounding of the

rules of implication in the human brain, specifically that of modus
ponens with modus tollens undoubtedly selected for on account of its
having all along worked more often than not, humans are inclined to
confuse correlations for causal connections, think teleologically and still
more characteristically, to regularly indulge in magical thinking.
Mystical thinking, still more, i.e., the tendency to conceptualize in terms
of all but rather than nothing but is also probably owing to this inborn
informal logic, which has been moreover promoted and sustained by the
always unification/systematization-transcending mosaic logic of the
consciousness-diversity-infused and highly social breeding population,
which, after all, is what nature has all along been selecting for rather
than the perfectly adapted individual/ego, which must be Gdelianincomplete as a survival-problem-solving-analytical engine! Coherence
necessarily contains within itself the very seeds of incoherence (in the
sense of not ultimately being practical as a survival strategy)! This is
why the ideologues and system builders of western culture are so
fascinating to study, historically speaking, but are so boring to attempt to
understand on their own terms.
"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, prebiotic 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

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.

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: au=Aharanov proved the
reality of A, the vector potential so that if A is identified with the photon
wavefunction (see au=Bohm in this connection), then the reality of Psi
has been adequately demonstrated.

"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." (au=Sedgwick, 1916) And here it is again as stated by au=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., cit=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 multidimensional 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., 2nd, 3rd, 4th 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).

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) September 2011 I am reminded here of the
playfully irreverent statement by the crucified character played by Terry
Gilliam at the end of the Monty Python film, Life of Brian, which goes
something like this: you started with nothing and now youve ended
with nothing you havent lost anything! September 2011 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. November 2012
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. February 2012 All important philosophical, religious and evangelical
atheistic writings (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! January 2014 These evangelical atheists
neglect the behavioral genetic basis of religion they ignore the fact that
religion is part of the heritage of humankind.

D-Wave Corporation recently offered a 512 Qubit

chipset quantum computer capable of accessing 10 154.127 distinct
quantum states to perform a calculation. Lime Cat D-Wave Corporation
recently offered quantum computer with a 512 Qubit chipset capable of
accessing 10**154 distinct quantum states to perform a calculation.
There's only about 10**80 particles in the observable universe. DWave's computer is then apparently capable of accessing 10**74
alternate universes to perform a calculation. Don't worry though, there's
no people in those alternate quantum universes, just calculating zombies.
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 thatcontd
In essence the solution to this would appear to lie in the use of
gravitation theory by Penrose (2004) though the actual mechanism still
needs to be fully elucidated. There and in earlier works he points out that
general relativity (which must be included in an eventual integrated
quantum theory, although it is still far from clear how this might be
done) implies that quantum states which differ sufciently in their
gravitational elds cannot be superposed. Thus any future theory that
integrates gravitation with the approach being used here will contain a
lower limit for the time separation of moments of consciousness which
matches the time scale on which the difference between the gravitational
elds of alternative states reaches the level identied by Penrose. This
limitation makes the theory consistent with data for atomic systems,
while producing differences from conventional theory that should
August 2013

already be detectable for large conscious systems. Note that this differs
from Penrose (2004) for which only the size of the system, not its
consciousness, is relevant, a criterion that may already be falsied
(Schlosshauer, 2006), c.f., A New Quantum Theoretical Framework for
Parapsychology (2008).

We are forced to presume that correlations exist and quite str ng ones those little ones exist between the
various speaks on the rugged fitness landscape of biological complexity which is scaled by natural selection
acting upon allegedly random mutations

The engineer is limited in his algorithm composition by Kurt Godel Incompleteness Theorem however random
mutation is not in this way limited.

There is a point of diminishing returns perhaps unknown to intelligent design theorists where the tinkering of
random mutation and natural selection can achieve deeper and subtler complexity then can be achieved by an
engineer, regardless of how talented and gifted that engineer may be.

The philosophically naive error of intelligent design

theorists is their presumption that grammatical chauvinism on the part of
speakers of human languages possesses validity beyond the linguistic
context in other words is valid is relevant to the description of objective
being. They should remember that the passive construction leaves the
question of a subject wholly indefinite. The adjective "intelligent" may
only be a property of a fundamental process, i.e., one having no
beginning in time. The noun, "design" does not necessarily imply an
activity. An activity does not imply an agent. An agent does not imply
an agency. An agency does not imply a founding. A founding does not
imply a founder. Thanks, Michael! An old chestnut or shall I say

"onion". : p. The motive behind ID is indeed disingenuous aka backdoor

creationism. Believing grammatical relationships to be as robust as
logical or causal implications is my biggest criticism of the purveyors of
ID. . .not their cynicism, which I take for granted. "You can't get
something from nothing . . . unless its the quantum vacuum." I.e., the
quantum vacuum is "nothing". And "nothing" comes from
nothing...Heisenberg energy uncertainty is the causal basis of
temporarily and so could have had no beginning in time And
"everything" comes from "nothing" because the only difference between
real and virtual particles and fields is (and here's the
rub...*undifferentiated* energy).
There are no things, only "things".

All superposition states are collapsed by consciousness, therefore

consciousness itself cannot enter into a quantum superposition state but
does this in turn imply that there is only one consciousness that there
cannot be orthogonal consciousnesss?
fcbk=

Lynn, <being a nut> and <feeling like a nut> are not mutually
exclusive (what quantum physicists term "orthogonal") states and so
cannot enter into an authentically quantum superposition. Also, because
consciousness causes collapse of any and all quantum superposition
states, consciousness cannot itself enter into, or form a part of, a
superposition state. "Quantumness", as a property of brain functioning
would not be connected in any predictable or law-like fashion, therefore
to consciousness. Consequently, a quantum computer could not be
expected to reliably indicate, e.g., lighting up or not lighting up when the
brain or parts of the brain possess a certain type of consciousness (such
as the "para-consciousness" of which you speak). I am uncertain how
you define paranormal so I cannot speak to that part of your possibly
whimsical question.
German idealist philosophy contained the seeds of German nationalism

Commonsensically, quantum nonlocality and entanglement appears to

be a natural consequence of the notion of intrinsic spin which is a kind
of inaccessibly internal form of angular momentum which possesses no
equivalent in classical physics.

Distinct memory/identity states of the observer (that are also
his states of knowledge) cannot be superposed: This censorship is
strictly enforced by decoherence and the resulting einselection. Distinct
memory states label and inhabit dierent branches of the Everetts
Many Worlds Universe. Persistence of correlations is all that is needed
to recover familiar reality. In this manner, the distinction between
epistemology and ontology is washed away: To put it succinctly (Zurek,
1994) there can be no information without representation in physical
states. There is usually no need to trace the collapse all the way to
observers memory. It suces that the states of a decohering system
quickly evolve into mixtures of the preferred (pointer) states. All that
can be
known in principle about a system (or about an observer, also
introspectively, e.g., by the observer himself) is its decoherence-resistant
August 2013

identity tag a description of its einselected state.

Apart from this essentially negative function of a censor the
environment plays also a very dierent role of a broadcasting agent,
relentlessly cloning the information about the einselected pointer states.
This role of the environment as a witness in determining what exists was
not appreciated until now: Throughout the past two decades, study of
decoherence focused on the eect of the environment on the system.
This has led to a multitude of technical advances we shall review, but it
has also missed one crucial point of paramount conceptual importance:
Observers monitor systems indirectly, by intercepting small fractions of
their environments (e.g., a fraction of the photons that have been
reected or emitted by the object of interest). Thus, if the understanding
of why we perceive quantum Universe as classical is the principal aim,
study of the nature of accessibility of information spread throughout the
environment should be the focus of attention. This leads one away from
the models of measurement inspired by the von Neumann chain
(1932) to studies of information transfer involving branching out
conditional dynamics and the resulting fan-out of the information
throughout environment (Zurek, 1983, 1998a, 2000). This new quantum
Darwinism view of environment selectively amplifying einselected
pointer observables of the systems of interest is complementary to the
usual image of the environment as the source of perturbations that
destroy quantum coherence of the system. It suggests the redundancy of
the imprint of the system in the environment may be a quantitative
measure of relative objectivity and hence of classicality of quantum
states, c.f., Decoherence, Einselection and the Quantum Origins of the
Classical.
Hilary Putnam argued that something is wrong with the
[conventional] theory. Superposition, an object being simultaneously
in a state A and a state B, a particle behaving as if it goes simultaneously
through slit 1 and slit 2, is the quantum-mechanical measurement
paradox. But conditions in the macroworld are different: In the
macroworld, a cat being both alive and dead at the same time does not

occur; the conditions cannot be superposed. Therefore, Putnam claimed,

the assumptions of conventional quantum mechanics constitute a
contradiction. He noted that Wigner (and Henry Margenau) defended the
adequacy of the received view (quantum jumps, collapse of the state
vector) along a somewhat different line: According to them quantum
mechanics presupposes a cut between the observer and the object. Any
system whatsoever can be taken as the object; however, the observer
himself cannot be included. The observer always treats himself as
possessing denite states which are known to him, c.f., Wigners
Polanyian Epistemology and the Measurement Problem.

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
functions). 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., cit=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?
November 2011

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 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 established the
four-dimensionality of physical quantities: force, velocity, momentum,
current. Poincares rst short work appeared 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
time it extended the Lorentz transformations to all natural forces, of
whatever origin they might be, c.f., http://arxiv.org/abs/grqc/0210005v2, The Theory of Gravity by A. A. Lugunov.
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) June 2011 The reason
for the equality of inertial and gravitational mass is to be found in the
happy coincidence of there being a common mechanism between mass
effect upon the vacuum and vacuums effect upon mass. @$ Mass is an
effect of gravitys interaction with the vacuum *and* gravity is an effect
of mass interaction with this same vacuum.
July 1997

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 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.
March 2006

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.03/01/06
There must arise an exact matching or mutual coherence of internal and

external frequencies for an object to become manifest.
Conscious manifestation of form within the observers perceptions of his

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. July 2011 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 3way 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
modulation by useful information, c.f., cit=Implications of a
Fundamental Consciousness, au=MacDonald (1998).
"The mere
possibility of observation results in the reduction of the state vector."
November 2007
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 engendered. (consider here the necessary interiority of the brain

of the quantum observer), c.f., so-called Boltzmann brains. June 2012

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.,
Richard Feynman on Boltzmann Brains by au=Sean Carroll. Seans
idea, in a nutshell, is that the large-field instability of the StandardModel Higgs potential if the top mass is a little heavier than current
observations tell us that it is is a feature: our (false) vacuum will
eventually decay (with a mean lifetime somewhere on the order of the
age of the universe), saving us from being Boltzmann brains. This is
plainly nuts. How can a phase transition that may or may not take
place, billions of years in the future, affect anything that we measure in
the here-and-now? And, if it doesnt affect anything in the present, why
do I #%@^} care? The whole Boltzmann brain paradox is a category
error, anyway, c.f.,
https://golem.ph.utexas.edu/~distler/blog/archives/002652.html
In many scenarios involving universes of infinite size or
duration, Boltzmann brains are infinitely more common than human
beings who arise in the ordinary way. Thus we should expect to be
Boltzmann brains, in contradiction to observation.[italics, mine] But
this is an unwarranted assumption on the authors part, as there is
essentially no way to distinguish the case of ones presently being a

Boltzmann brain versus being a really existing human person.

Furthermore, there is a simple test to see whether you are a Boltzmann
brain. Wait 1 second and see if you still exist. Most Boltzmann brains
are momentary fluctuations. So the prediction of the above argument is
that you will vanish in the next second. When you dont, you conclude
that this argument has made a severely wrong prediction.1
1 If you are concerned with the fact that you could never observe your own ceasing to exist, you can change
the argument to say that the theory that you are a Boltzmann brain predicts that your observations of the
external world are coherent only by chance, and that subsequent observations will not remain coherent.

However, perhaps by invoking a sufficiently general @$ prn=Kantian

anthropic principle, such a handy observational test may not be available
to a Boltzmann brain, especially if there is an intersubjective principle of
mental continuity, i.e., between and across distinct Boltzmann brains,
say via some extrapolation of quantum entanglement, c.f.,
http://arxiv.org/pdf/1008.0808.pdf, arXiv article by Davenport and
Olum, Are there Boltzmann brains in the vacuum? But because of the
necessary intentionality of consciousness and the reigning logic of
Wittgensteins Private Language Argument as the antidote to solipsism,
we may have a solution based upon the inherent inadequacy of a closed
system as a generator of conscious states: a Boltzmann brain qua
vacuum fluctuation must not merely carry the signature of contextual
quantum entanglement, but must be actually and in concrete fact
quantum entangled with an open-ended external realm, but not just any
such, but one that possesses the unity and coherence of a really existing
universe. On this view, substance and continuity are necessary
components of the requisite topology of really existing mind as
embedded within really existing world.

The Boltzmann-Schuetz cosmology is a weird idea, but weirdness

alone ought not be held as an objection. There is a consequence,
however, that Boltzmann seems not to have noticed. On such a scenario,
the vast majority of occurrences of a given nonmaximal level of entropy
would be near a local entropy minimum, and so One should regard it as
overwhelmingly probable that, even given our current experience,

entropy increases towards the past as well as the future, and everything
that seems to be a record of a lower entropy past is itself the product of a
random fluctuation (rather than genuinely causally antecedent)
Moreover, you should take yourself to be whatever the minimal physical
system is that is capable of supporting experiences like yours; apparent
experiences of being surrounded by an abundance of low-entropy matter
are illusory. That is, you should take yourself to be what has been called
a Boltzmann brain. (Footnote: The term is due to Andreas Albrecht. It
first appears in print in Albrecht and Sorbo (2004). The consequence of
the Boltzmann-Schuetz cosmology, that we should take the fluctuation
we are in to be no larger than necessary, seems to have been first pointed
out by Arthur Eddington.), 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 4volume 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

2nd 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 (nongravitating 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. 03/01/06We recall here
that a Bohmian style interpretation of the EPR experiment with a SternGerlach device calls for backward-in-time signaling of the separately
measured particles with their earlier state as part of a composite spin-0
particle just prior to this particles spontaneous decay.03/01/06
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. (But certainly the maximum
acceleration becomes smaller in magnitude as we treat progressively
more complex systems) 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. 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,

.
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,

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 =

and

to

f,

where P

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 =
MH2r, 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] = H2r, so that, again, F = MH2r. The work integral
becomes
W=

MH2rdr

between the distance limits Ri = Rneutron and Rf = Runiverse. 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.
= 3/4M R3 ===> R = 3root[3/4M ] x

-1/3

dr

=
-1/3 x 3root x [3/4m/4 ] x

-4/3 d

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(Mneutron)2/R,
so that the energy necessary to prevent this expansion is
E = -G(Mneutron)2/R.
This result is, of course, provided that the mass density of the universe is
given by the formula,
= 3H2/4 G
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 1012 and 1 part per 1060, 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, e.g., extremely low entropy, 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, say between 0.99 and 1.01 - 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.1 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/m3 while
quantum theory predicts a value on the order of 10 95 kg/m3 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 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 farfetched 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 momentumenergy 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 invoking the so-called

Solipsistic Cosmological Principle may well place far tighter constraints
upon the value of the cosmological constant than does a mere Anthropic
Cosmological Principle.
The
strong
anthropic
principle
(SAP)
as
explained
by Barrow and Tipler (see variants) states that this is all the case because
the Universe is compelled, in some sense, for conscious life to
eventually emerge. Critics of the SAP argue in favor of a weak anthropic
principle (WAP) similar to the one defined by Brandon Carter, which
states that the universe's ostensible fine tuning is the result of selection
bias: i.e., only in a universe capable of eventually supporting life will
there be living beings capable of observing any such fine tuning, while a

universe less compatible with life will go unbeheld. The above is from
the wikipedia entry on the anthropic principle. Making a few
substitutions to convert from the general to the particular, we have the
following: The strong anthropic principle (SAP) as explained
by Barrow and Tipler (see variants) states that this is all the case because the
Universe is compelled, in some sense, for my conscious life to
eventually emerge. Critics of the SAP argue in favor of a weak anthropic
principle (WAP) similar to the one defined by Brandon Carter, which states
that the universe's ostensible fine tuning is the result of selection bias: i.e., only in a
universe capable of eventually supporting my life will there be me,
capable of observing any such ultra-fine tuning, while a universe less
compatible with my life will go unbeheld by me. The key here is that,
the physical constants of the universe, e.g., gravitational constant,
Planck's constant, electron mass, electron charge, fine structure constant,
speed of light, Bohr magneton, electric field permittivity constant, etc.,
ad nauseum, must all be fine-tuned to six decimal places for carbonbased life to be possible. However, for something very similar to
humanity to be possible, then these constants must be tweaked to
perhaps eight decimal places. The catch: these constants might need to
be tweaked to 12 or more decimal places for creation to be tuned to the
precise information frequency spectrum of my consciousness for it to be
put into operation!

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. February 2013 A chaotic, thermalized-entropic Anthropic
proto-consciousness forms the dynamical substrate of this third medium.
Due to the availability of infinite time, Boltzmann brain-like large
entropy fluctuations occasionally occur, say, every quadrillion centuries
or so, producing an intensely focused stream of Anthropic-consciousness

If the maths pointed to Boltzmann brains outnumbering

humans, our theories of space and time could be compromised. That's
because we would no longer be 'typical' observers, and might not have
the ability to see reality from the 'correct' perspective. But according to a
new report by New Scientist, new understandings of string theory and
the theory of multiple universes might just give us an escape clause.
Physicists Claire Zukowski and Raphael Buosso at Berkely say that the
key to this balance (of us, versus the superbrains) is whether or not
universes expand forever and linger - full of Boltzmann brains - for
much longer than creatures like humans would be able to survive, c.f.,

The growing amounts of man-hours and money being
dedicated to developing more efficient search engine software along
with the ever increasing collective number of man-hours being spent on
performing, e.g., google web searches along with the most recent
response to this demand for connected information in the form of
Facebooks beta test version of graph search, the now long under way
explosive growth of interdisciplinary science, the increasing perception
that the growth paradigm of the 20th Century has had its day and is now
safely retired, improvements in nanotechnological science, the growing
viral nature of information and last but not least the subtly evident
expanding colonization of sociolinguistic consciousness by a syntax of
web search strings which are more and more supplanting snippets of
modern-traditional self dialogue all of this and more suggests that a
new knowledge and information paradigm is about to befall the

postmodern mind. And because as noted elsewhere language is not a

mere passive implement for the communicating of ideas, as it was
conceived to be during the Enlightenment through the first half of the
20th 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 2nd 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

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

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 continuous real time computations
transmitted to the brain of the mobile unit, which is a classical digital
computer, except for specially designed interfaces 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 selforganizing 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.

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 socalled 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 1026 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 R2
But the energy density of the black hole is given by the relation,

= 3c4/4 R2G
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 massenergy 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 socalled 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.

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 EinsteinDeSitter 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 locallyconnected 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. October 2011 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 =
RSchwarzschild, 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 Schwarzschild value and still remain
stable against total gravitational collapse. When the mass of a body
increases to just over its Schwarzschild 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 3c4/8piGR 2, 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 Schwarzschild 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 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 fourmomentum, 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 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) 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 so-called twin paradox of special relativity is easily solved using

the principle of the conservation of four momentum. It is only the

accelerating twin who changes the distribution of three momentum
across the four components of his conserved four momentum. The
other, stay-at-home twin does not change the distribution of the four
components of his four momentum and so all relativistic effects are only
associated with the accelerated twin.
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. April 2011
But this is only true up the limit set by the Planck energy.
Configurations of vacuum stress-momentum-energy larger than EPlanck
must have been assembled from configurations smaller than EPlanck,
c.f., arXiv:quant-ph/0603269 v2 12 Jul 2006 April 2011
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 fourdimensional spacetime! April 2011 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 90o so that this momentum
becomes a pure real momentum is just mc2. 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 nonzero components, and the introduction of new matter into this
distribution will transform the components of the potential gradient fourvector 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 energymomentum 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.

In support of your rather interesting theory the following: Imagine, as you say, that matter is
indeed travelling at the speed of light all the time, even when it appears to be at rest. The initial
momentum of a given mass then might be,

p = m(ic)
Now when the mass is accelerated to a velocity v, the mass' new velocity becomes,

v'= sqrt[v**2 + (i**2)c**2] = v'= sqrt[v**2 - c**2]

such that the final momentum of the mass is now

p'= m' x sqrt[v**2 - c**2]

If we equate the intial momentum with the final momentum (conservation of 4-momentum, if
you will) we have,

m(ic) = m' x sqrt[v**2 - c**2] yielding,

m = m'/(ic) x sqrt[v**2 - c**2]
but

ic = sqrt[i**2 x c**2] = sqrt[-c**2]

so that

m = m'/sqrt[-c**2] x sqrt[v**2 - c**2] = m = m' x [1 - v**2/c**2]

such that

m' = m/[1 - v**2/c**2]

which is just the special relativistic mass formula of Einstein. The coefficient "i" comes into play
in the above manipulations because multiplication by "i" or e**(i)pi/2 is the only way to rotate a

vector in 3 space without producing another vector within the same 3 space; multiplication by "i"
takes a 3-vector out of the 3-d manifold and so represents the relationship of time to the other
three spatial axes.
There are other reasons for, perhaps, including the coefficient "i" within quantum tunneling, for
example, as in the case of matter tunneling through a hyperspherical potential barrier while
appearing at rest in 3 spatial dimensions.
Moreover, we may integrate the momentum of a mass, m, as it is accelerated from a velocity
v(init.) = ic to a final velocity v(fin.) = c. This yields,

Intgrl[mv]dv (v = ic to v = c) = 1/2 mv**2

evaluated between the limits of v = ic and v = c which yields,

1/2m(c**2) - 1/2m(i**2 x c**2) = mc**2

Of course the energy of motion is just the integral of the momentum from the initial to the final
velocities.

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 momentumenergy 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 massenergy 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 massenergy 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 nonlocallyconnected 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, 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 selfinteraction. 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. 07/98
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 dreamphenomena (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.

Furthermore, we have even developed a basic understanding

about how these afferent-efferent connections are blocked,
normally during REM sleep, allowing the brain to self stimulate
and generate the strange "offline" realities we experience during
dreams (Gottesmann, 1999; Maquet, 2000). . . Thus, we can
describe the brain, metaphorically, as a kind of virtual reality
generator, which allows the environment outside the brain to be
experienced inside it. This "out-of-brain" world comprises not only
the body's external environment, but also the internal environment
of other organs outside the brain (actually, we are going to
demonstrate that the brain's "virtual system" generates not only a
virtual world, but also a virtual self in the center of this virtual
world). Each brain generates this virtual world and self using the
afferent stimuli, external and internal to the body, and the virtual
self produces virtual decisions and actions that will affect our body
through efferent outputs (Merker, 2005). . . 1- THE "BRAIN IN
THE VAT" ARGUMENT: as brains do not exist in isolation from
their surrounding environment ("inside vats"), it makes no sense to
postulate that what we experience as our day-to-day reality was
generated by and inside our brains (Dennet, 1991). April 2014 The
inputs and outputs to the virtual reality generator of the brain,
however, possess a distinctive structure that is peculiar to a
linguistic grammar, which necessarily differentiates interaction of
cit=

the persons brain via coded impulses with other intelligent entities
possessing brains from the mere interaction of his brain with an
unintelligent environment populated by a cadre of automata or
philosophical zombies. Consciousness on this view is a reified
projection of an ego qua sociolinguistic construct, rather than being
a kind of unique and mysterious thinking substance. (One is
reminded here of how it is very difficult to fake an authentic
sounding laugh.) In other words, one cannot achieve selfconsciousness, which is the precondition of reified consciousness
as the medium of conscious experience in the absence of a
properly robust sociolinguistic context. On an underlying physical
level, one would expect grammatical structure to be coded in
terms of a set of programmed actual and potential quantum
entanglements that provide an encrypted signature of quantum
correlates of conscious states. Descartes thinking substance here
is a kind of hard-encrypted quantum entanglement signature
possessing an open-system topology that is altogether distinct from
that of a closed system machine intelligence. For one, time is
spatialized in such a closed system, whereas temporality is a
genuine possibility for an open system. For another, closed
quantum mechanical systems do not decohere, being isolated from
the environmental influences (to include vacuum electromagnetic
field fluctuations), that otherwise induce this decoherence of
wavefunction collapse. Coherence, cohesiveness, robustness, unity,
integration, reflexivity, and so on, are system qualities that cannot
be supported within a closed form computational state space, i.e., a
state space that is not context-embedded.
So chance
combinational/permutational shufflings cannot bring about new
states of the system which are capable of sustaining themselves
against a background of perturbing fluctuations, i.e., noise. It is
true that without context there is no meaning, but the converse of
this is also true without meaning there is not context. Clearly,
structures of quantum entanglement of real or simulated
computational state space states cannot be included as additional
states within the preexistent state space for this leads to an infinite

regress.
2- THE "ROBOT/ZOMBIE" ARGUMENT: As we can
imagine, and perhaps even build, organisms and machines that can
behave in a way similar to humans, but without having an internal
(and conscious) "virtual reality", evolution had no reason to have
selected the development of "neuro-virtual" processes inside our
brains (Chalmers, 1996). The answer to this argument is related to
the answer to the Brain in a Vat argument. @$What functions
analogously to grammar here is the notion of supervenience or of
supervenient causation. The Gdelian flexibility to jump outside
the system, e.g., throw out the current set of postulates and
axioms, rules of inference and even to assume the truth of
theorems not provable from the newly adopted logico-deductive
system and what is more, to guess well the time to do this, is just
the kind of neural flexibility a person needs, which I believe
demands supervenience. Causal supervenience could be serviced
and supported by sufficiently sensitive microstructures in the brain
being slightly altered so as to come into resonance with the
vacuum electromagnetic field in such a way as to facilitate
information exchange between brain and creative void so as to,
in turn, facilitate the otherwise relatively diminished capacity of a
classical, unsupervised neural network to reprocess its data into
higher order structures that more aptly simulate the external world
along with the mental worlds of would be competitors for limited
resources. We already know from Bohms causal principle that the
fluctuation-correlation subspectrum representing deterministic
cause-and-effect constitutes but a tiny subdomain within the total
spectrum.

Lime Cat Of course, this lumbering Brobdingnagian is not actually selfconscious, rather, his brain has created a simulation containing a virtual

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 overcomplexity 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.
June 2013 @$

The greatest necessity for providential intelligent design is

pointed up by the plurality of consciousness, i.e., consciousnesss, each
of which possesses recursive privileged access and sense data
incorrigibility as there must be supervenience of being (of some kind)
over these multitudes of consciousnesss. The only potential candidate to
provide said supervenience (c.f., philosopher Daniel Dennett) constitutes
a field of one, which is to say, God. Consciousness works for
everybody and not just for one person, which would indeed have been
the case for a solipsist who did not indeed possess the creative powers of
a bona fide deity.
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 selfconsciousness. 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.
Ecclesiastes 12:7 "Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and
the spirit shall return unto God Who gave 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.

Perception is largely governed by expectations conditioned by

previous experience. Memory is selective. The tale grows in the retelling. The most we can mean by "objective reality" is intersubjective
reality. December 2012 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 objectively real and 2what is called the
real contains more than the merely objectively real. If 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 be patronizing) together, of course,
that is, by the grasping of a subjective insight by a solitary mind.
Language is incapable of conveying actual substance, or content, but can
only convey distinctions and similarities at multiple levels of
abstraction. Human suggestibility December 2012 and auto-suggestibility
(these go hand in hand, e.g., guru vs. initiate, mentor vs. protg,
sleeping prophet, entranced yogi, etc.) 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.

December 1999

Around 2015 rocker Michael Jackson will undergo the

lengthiest surgery to date to become the world's first human cyborg. He
will be plugged into the next generation of the internet utilizing biochips
implanted in his brain. Twenty years later Michael will have his brain
removed, placed in a vat of some nutritive media, and with his brain
connected by myriad electrodes to a quantum neural network computer,
will manage to more or less download himself into a still later
generation of the internet composed partly by computers capable of

directly interacting with the quantum vacuum of spacetime. By 2060

AD, Michael will be the undisputed ruler of cyberspace. By this time a
whole generation of persons will be spending most of their time in this
simulated world of cyberspace. Many of these will decide to live the
rest of their conscious lives there. Michael will become in a very real
sense a God by this time. By the time a move is made to destroy his
brain, he will have succeeded in totally incorporating his mind into this
quantum vacuum (Inter) net and will possess genuine, if dubious
immortality. By this time, it will be discovered that existence had
already been taking place, prior to the emergence of the first generation
Internet, for countless millennia within an ancient Internet established by
our true ancestors millions of years ago. What we had all this time
interpreted as the precise mathematical physical laws of nature was
merely the manifestation of ancient cyber technology and programming
engineered by those distant ancestors of ours, hideous, tentaculated, if
not totally formless, beings of pure energy. It will only take the
simulated reality (Internet) approaching the subtlety and complexity of
this ancient reality simulation for this to become apparent centuries
before the dawn of 3000 AD. As Carl Sagan has said, if the Universe is
billions of years old, then the average age of civilizations in the Universe
would be on the order of 100's of millions of years. So what are the
chances then, that ours is only five or six thousand years old? Given a
Gaussian distribution of civilization age, ours would occupy the
0.0000000001st percentile. What are the chances of that? By the year
3000 AD, our civilization will have discovered its true age - perhaps
1000,000,000 years or more! Hopefully Y2K is only a glitch in the
topmost (incomplete) level of simulation and exist on any deeper levels,
i.e., Y2M, Y2G, etc., or we might all be in for a real surprise!
Are all signals secretly meaningful, none intrinsically noisy? July 2011 Or
is it just that one mans noise is another mans signal? Theres no clear
demarcation between, data, information and executive function signaling
in the brain as these all are quantities of different levels of abstraction,
each possessing the same underlying biophysical reality as the other, or
so we suppose. The probability of a given complex signal belonging to

two or more distinct contexts should be rendered small by virtue of the

complexity potential of the signal carrier code addressing a much greater
number of contexts than which are actually possible. October 2011 @$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 worthwhile 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 non-demolition 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 complementarity of incompatible observables, i.e., the fact that
these paired observables are related through Fourier Series and inverse
Fourier Series expansions. April 2014 Take a look at the link below on the
two-way relatedness of quantum mechanics and free will, c.f.,
http://www.uncommondescent.com/physics/free-will-creates-quantumphysics-and-not-the-other-way-around/ A quantum experiment consists
basically in a device (e.g. an interferometer or a polarizer) that receives
energy (light, electrons, etc.) from a source, and thereafter can produce

two different detection outcomes we denote 1 (if detector D1 clicks),

and 0 (if detector D0 clicks). The outcomes refer to registered results
that are accessible to the experimenter (a human observer).
Consequently, the final results of an experiment after many runs build a
registered sequence of bits: 1,1,0,1,0,0,0,1,0,0The distribution of the
bits 1 and 0 in this string depends on devices settings, which the
experimenter can choose. For instance, by changing the settings the
experimenter can cause the outcomes distribution to go from 45
percent 1 and 55 percent 0, to 70 percent 1 and 30 percent 0.
Standard quantum physics establishes two things:
a) For a large number of detections the outcomes fulfill a determined
statistical distribution depending on the settings (for instance: 45
percent of 1 and 55 percent of 0). But the theory does not establish
how many outcomes make a large number of them.
b) For each single quantum event the outcome (which of the two
detectors clicks) is unpredictable in principle for the experimenter.
In this sense it is said that the quantum laws are essentially statistical,
and the order of the outcomes unpredictable. However quantum physics
does not establish that the sequence of outcomes (the bit string) must
happen without any order and be meaningless.
What is more, recent experiments are bringing to light that the
experimenters free will and consciousness should be considered axioms
(founding principles) of standard quantum physics theory. So for
instance, in experiments involving entanglement (the phenomenon
Einstein called spooky action at a distance), to conclude that quantum
correlations of two particles are nonlocal (i.e. cannot be explained by
signals traveling at velocity less than or equal to the speed of light), it is
crucial to assume that the experimenter can make free choices, and is
not constrained in what orientation he/she sets the measuring devices.

(July 2012 Parallel multiverse selves act freely without engendering causal
paradoxes this is a corollary 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 opportunistically 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
imaginary 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 bigheaded alien programmers outside the Ancestor Simulation, and so
on. Because of the fundamental limitations imposed upon automation,
i.e., mechanism by Gdels 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. December 2012 @$ Every recursive

the combination of an extremely intimate and invasive virtual reality
technology that is supported by new and largely untested quantum
entanglement based computation. Adventurous young cybernauts will
enthusiastically and collectively jack their brains into this highly
realistic, telepathic-interactive communal mental space not realizing
that, as they do so, a half-billion year old firewall is about to be bypassed, and far too quickly for any human brain to adapt. After all, the
human brain was designed by evolution to be in part a resonant circuit
tuning to, but much more than this, a complex network responsible for
blocking, filtering and transducing quantum entanglement encoded
information, that which resides within the quantum vacuum
electromagnetic field, itself a reservoir of *all* of the information ever
produced and/or processed by every brain and conscious computer in the
cosmos since life first arose, perhaps billions of years before the
formation of our solar system. The human brain was only meant to
permit access to consciousness of information signals pertaining to
efforts to solve humble, practical and terrestrial-based problems, (those
of *this* environment), e.g., finding food, water, a mate, protecting
offspring, seeking shelter, outwitting competitors for food, defending
against marauding animals, invading tribes, etc. What do you suppose
will happen to the average human brain that suddenly has to contend
with quantum information leaking into consciousness, which was
originally put into the quantum field by beings a billion years more
advanced than man? Quantum information is not limited by the speed of
light, but is nonlocal and instantaneously available across the entire
universe, even from beyond this Universe's observable horizon, many
billions of light years away! Anyway, you get the picture. The moral of
the story is: don't be among the first to strap one of those inductive
skullcaps onto your noggin!

Lime Cat In the middle of the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus made the
"T" sign with his hands ("time out", I think) and said, "Everybody close
your eyes and plug your ears. For the next 10 minutes I'm going to
address the end times people 2000 years from now so don't peak: "the
continuum hypothesis can be definitively proved merely by projecting
2nd order Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory onto a fractal Galois manifold.
Unfortunately this contradicts Cantor's diagonal argument and unmasks
my Father's creation as a vast ancestor simulation of quantum entangled
Boltzmann brains...." Of course, the early Church Fathers, who
assembled the Bible from a few shrewdly selected gospels, histories,
poems and epistles from out of a vast collection of widely varying
versions, couldn't make heads or tails of what had been dutifully written
down a few hundred years earlier about Jesus' scientific pronouncements
and so these fragments were suppressed from the Canon and almost
completely lost for all time. Thankfully, these important sayings of Jesus
were secretly preserved by a splinter Gnostic Christian group and were
finally provided with a meaningful exegesis in the 1930's by the then
few surviving members of the Church of the Quantum Vacuum. In
modern day, a spinoff (no pun intended) cult of this electrodynamic faith
survives as the Church of the Reformed Quantum Vacuum. This
disparate group of true believers, which possess only a virtual presence

November 1996

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. See Non-duality: A Scientific Perspective,
c.f., www.nonduality.com/publications.htm

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pontiac's_Rebellion_school_massacre

An example of school shootings that, though perhaps not "senseless",

still constituted a stark example of the regretable taking of innocent
human life. . . a heinous moral outrage in any historical epoch. I hate
media discussions of shooters' motives because the notion of "motive"
implies another notion, that of rational action, which the taking of
innocent human life indeed never is. In future, dear mass media, please
withhold 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 openended 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 consciousnesss 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 crossreferenced 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

convinced, unreflectingly that we indeed possess a concept of it
(reason). Triviality as in mathematics sometimes is only 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 how he ever satisfied himself that the indescribable part, what
fundamentally couldnt be communicated via language, even existed in
the first place a clear case of Russells so-called privileged access. A
sufficiently advanced hardware/software combination would appear as
the natural infrastructure gracing creation, i.e., physical reality.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polignac%27s_conjecture In
2013 an important breakthrough was made by Zhang Yitang who proved
that there are infinitely many prime gaps of size n for some value of n <
70,000,000. It appears that not only the real line, but also the natural
numbers possess a non-trivial topology.122013

The principle that Emerson seems to be illustrating can perhaps lead us

into a deeper understanding of time and a more hopeful appreciation of
time's potential, which passes well beyond the usual paltry conception of
time as unidimensional and inexorably finite, or, if not indeed finite,

then infinite in the merest sense of everlasting. The higher

dimensionality of time is to be sought in its fundamental plural, if partly
entangled, multiplicity of scale and connectedness. The endless, openended reprocessibility of the data of humanly experienced time (long
term biographical memory), when placed in the light of potentially
endlessly novel and unpredictably unfolding future contexts, points to an
infrastructure of intelligibility (and of reason) gracing existence at its
root and is indeed what makes the faculties that we instinctively take for
granted possible. The data of individual human experience are not
solipsistic, but are secretly collective inputs to a much larger system, one
capable of combining and reprocessing this data into transpersonal and
even transhuman meanings. Language, ethics and culture all secretly
invoke this sweeping collective transhistorical context, which, like how
subliminal infrasound places an edge of perceived sound that is itself
only perceived if suddenly absent, significantly enhances the perceived
meaning of the data of individual human experience. Enrico Fermi once
famously asked, "Where are they?" For my part, I have my answer. They
are here. They are us. Or, rather they will be us.

Each great surge in evolution is signaled by a "mass

extinction". But avoiding the mass death doesn't guarantee "you'll"
advance. Just take a look at how many living fossil species there are still
thriving on this planet. One has to have been favored by the process.

Despite all of the restrictions and conditions posed by the laws of
physics, chemistry, psychohistory, etc., there's still plenty of room
available in which grace may operate. Here's a few notable examples:
general anaesthesia is solely a function of its concentration in brain
lipids and is independent of the chemical properties off the anaesthetic
used (as Overton and Meyers first observed), the information specificity
of DNA genetic base pair sequences is not in any way determined by the
chemical properties either of nucleotide bases or of their connecting
sugar-phospate bonds, covalent bonding is only possible because of a
fundamental indeterminacy (Heisenberg uncertainty principle) on
account of the necessary quantum superposition in each bound electron's
position, the three-body problem has no closed form analytic solution,

i.e., deterministic chaos, etc., and so on.

Since causal connections (local causality) constitutes only a tiny subset
of the entire available spectrum of correlated fluctuations, it may be that
although the three body problem is not solvable in terms of physics, it
may onetheless be soluble in terms of engineering. The three body
problem may find its solution if each body is conceived of as a
nonlocally connected fluctuation packet that possesses nonlocal
connections to each of the two other fluctuation packets.
As remarked by Anthropologist and Comparative Religion Scholar,
Joseph Campbell remarked, "...when you ...look back over your lifetime,
it can seem to have had a consistent order ... as though composed by
someone. Events that when they occurred had seemed accidental and
occasional or as if by accident turn out to have been indispensable
factors in the composition of a consistent plot. So who composed that
plot? Schopenhauer suggests that just as your dreams are composed by
an aspect of yourself of which your consciousness is unaware, so, too,
your whole life is composed by the will within you. And just as people
whom you will have met apparently by mere chance became leading
agents in the structuring of your life, so, too, you have served
unknowingly as an agent, giving meaning to the lives of others, the
whole thing gears together like one big symphony, with everything
unconsciously structuring everything else...it is as if our lives are the
dream of a single dreamer in which all the dream characters are
dreaming , too; so that everything links to everything else, moved by the
one will to life which is the universal will in nature. Its a magnificent
idea an idea that appears in India in the mythic image of the Net of
Indra, which is a net of gems, where at every crossing of one thread over
another there is a gem reflecting all the other reflective gems....", c.f.,

All representation requires a figure and ground relationship. All
figure cannot be ground just as all ground cannot be figure, for this

combinational-permutational state space model for system evolution is
not really coherent, ignorant as it is of the distinctness of levels of
description and grounded phenomena such as evolutionary emergence,
cohersiveness, robustness context dependence, etc.
Meaning requires context and interpretation and therefore temporality in
this way consciousness in temporality cannot be separated temporality is
unavoidable in open systems so all future developments cannot be in

We could try to run through in 'life review' fashion all of the possible
cultural memes in the state space but the meaning of the memes added
amongst those already accumulated must shift in meaning and
significance in a way different from how they could possibly be

support. Also there is back reaction of newly added memes onto memes
already stored in memory. We must distinguish projection of lower
dimensions onto higher dimensions from the case of the projection of
higher dimensions onto lower dimensions. Is there a distinction to be
made here between hard encryption and decompression?

Cantor's argument is proved invalid because it is shown to beg the

seem to offer a much faster evolutionary development than the near
infinite stretches of permutational-combinational time required for
tinkering or cobbling together the boundary conditions necessary for

Thinking outside the box like Jacques Vallee, let us suppose that
the riddle of extraterrestrial beings shall only be solved once the
philosophical problem of other minds has also been solved. In other
words, we shall only detect extraterrestrial beings in the same manner
that we become able to detect the existence of other minds. Since
indirect detection is out of the question on account of the vastness of
interstellar distances, e.g., radio waves, we shall only detect
extraterrestrial minds via quantum signatures which their intelligent or
conscious mental activity leaves behind in the form of entanglement in
the vacuum electromagnetic field or "Akashic record" that we don't yet
possess the proper encryption and frequencies to access. But the method
will undoubtedly be the same that shall one day allow us to detect the
quantum signature of other minds. Whatever new technology that
entails, it may well lie a century or more in the future. As humankinds

scientific understanding grows, and its technology along with it, there
shall be reached a stage where the seemingly insuperable interstellar
distances between earth and the nearest extraterrestrial civilizations

can have been overcome. However, by then our conception of
spacetime and mass-energy, along with our deepest understanding of
life, consciousness and the basis of our personal identity shall have

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. We should eventually
uncover evidence of the action of this sustainment of fine tuning of the
underlying physical substrate in line with the intended continuum of the
computational state space.

Michael Behe asks in his book, The Edge of Evolution, how

far does the intelligent design extend downward into the lower tiers of
the taxonomic hierarchy, e.g., beyond sub-phyla and on to classes,
orders, families, etc.? This suggests that intelligent design is an
interaction between an Engineer and a preexisting dynamical substrate,
which itself may well require its own intelligent design-based
explanation of origin. This is the God who does not make His own
dust. Behe points out that the hox gene tool box, which is responsible
for orchestrating anatomical development during embryogenesis, as well
as for underpinning the morphogenetic relationships within a taxonomic
category, was already in place perhaps 50 million years or more prior to
the advent of the Cambrian explosion, which is to say, prior to the
advent of the anatomical forms, the development of which, that these
same regulatory genes would in a later geological epoch be destined to
orchestrate

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 ultimately the same, that is, in the
absence of an ultimate context and backdrop of a transcendent Universal
Mind, itself possessing a true concept of consciousness, such that each
individual particular mind is but an instantiation of consciousness as
such, there is a degeneracy of indicators of possible worlds, namely,
consciousness (in the sense of ultimate selfhood) and universe.

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.

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 updated version of
solipsism, other minds do indeed exist but they do 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 intersubjective subjectivity, which is absolutely required by a self-consistent
notion of a plurality of subjective individual consciousnesss.
Consequently, a valid concept of consciousness must 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 mine. 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

the fact of our all meeting in an afterlife vs. us all having met in this

The requirements of cosmological fine tuning are far greater for

The case of there being a single consciousnesss or a 'consciousness -assuch' 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-consciousnesss 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 consciousnesss. 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.

Karma is not a conserved quantity and therefore the law of

karma, should one exist, must be fundamentally dissimilar to a physical
law, which is invariably alternately described in terms of the
conservation of some key physical quantity such as momentum for
energy or spin.
The principle of the positivism of evil demands that Karma not be a
conserved quantity.
Free will necessarily involves creativity and therefore non- conservation
of certain qualities.

It is quite humbling to reflect upon how there are two distinct kinds of
unknown - the unknown which is continuous with the known to which
inevitably a pathway leads and that other unknown, which is all together
disjoint from or discontinuous with the known.
Good karma does not always make up for bad. There are impersonal
natural forces which appear to change the local zero point or set point of
karma.
There is no platonic heaven of sensations or subjective perceptions or

"Next life" . . .next here is in the sense of metaphysically

different rather than later in time. To simultaneously avoid the reductio
of solipsism and maintain the utter distinctness of suchnesses
(consciousnesss as such), the multiple instantiation of consciousness
posed by temporally existent minds must be not be simply, but
complexly multiple. There must indeed then be an order of
transcendence possessed by consciousness as such. This points to the
necessity of a multiverse in a metaphysical sense.

November 2011 (Edited for Facebook posting in November 2013)

What I like about Biocentrism

is this dumping of our unfounded prejudice about the alleged necessity of time
being linear. Well then, 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, that is, whatever the original sufficient
reason may have been that originally brought one forth, unbidden from the
screaming abyss of the ever creative void, should do so again, in fact, an unlimited
number of times and this despite the necessity of metaphysical work (the realm
of being having been enlarged, at least in terms of an expansion of being's "ground
of existence" ) being performed during each incarnation. That particular quiddity

or "haecceity" specified by the unique anthropic cosmological constraints posed by

the individual consciousness as "substantial medium of one's possible experience"
shall always abide as the exactingly fine filter of the fluctuating quantum vacuum
underlying all physical reality and which tirelessly spin off these ever so slightly
though distinctly different universes, each complete with its own vast locker
combination of finely-tuned fundamental physical constants, determined to 14
decimal places as befits a precise resonant tuning of each fractally branching
universe to the demands of a stable, unified and integrally whole consciousness.
The multiverse embraces an unlimited multidimensional time and temporality.
Death is only a "dead end" therefore with respect to a given particular time line.
Your life is being lived out in *this* time, which is not to be identified with some
unique, one-shot, all-encompassing physical time (there's that unfounded prejudice
again). New timelines are always being generated as the multiverse continues its
eternal, playful and experimental, budding, branching and blossoming process. The
transcendent shall always continue to explore the realm of limitation, that is, "the
realm of what it's like to not know everything", since that's the only field that is
open to the transcendent's hopeful/fearful curiosity. Although this body and brain
pass away, the abstract laundry list of precise conditions for one to be, not
"reincarnated", but generated anew (just as one was originally gestated and born
this time around) in the midst of the unending novelty of Brahma's (Lila's) dance
and play, does not. This infinitely fine and subtlest of sieves, the anthropic
cosmological principle, shall be ever present to filter the unending noise, *the vast
majority, but not all of which belong to other minds.* As the Universe was not
created in time, but time and temporality were created with it (along with space),
there is no limit to the number of dimensions of time. February 2014 A natural question
is whether, in light of the metaphysical puzzles and paradoxes which attend the
logic of the Anthropic Principle, there is any determinable relationship between
possible temporal dimensions and the parallel universes of the Many Worlds
Interpretation (MWI) of Quantum Mechanics, i.e., the many distinct minds, which
may indeed constitute determinations of distinct grounds (of being).

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. January 2013 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. November 2014 To get the gears of the whole meaning and
coincidence machine turning you have to provide initial inputs. Examine
human daily life in terms of the database concepts of "front end vs. back
end".
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.

September 1992

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 H2O molecules are as
big as the plastic models of H2O 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 oil drop
experiment, wherein he demonstrated that the charge of the electron was
quantized, oil drops, 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 H2O 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 "oil drop" 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 H2O
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 H2O 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 H2O 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 elusive
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 consciousnesss.
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 skyblue. 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. July 2011 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).

The dynamics of intelligent design manifests itself at precisely

the same scale of time and space as observer quantum self-interference
effects come into play. These interference effects are likely related to
quantum correlations having established themselves between
superpositions of networks of nonlocally connected microtubule tubulin
dimer states of the observers brain and analogous superposition states in
matter with which the observers brain has become quantum entangled.
(The subtle relationships between quantum superposition, entanglement,
correlations and fluctuations are to be profitably explored further in just
this context.) This fact of the self-organizing properties of particles and

fields coinciding with the bootstrapping dynamics of human

consciousness may well forever systematically impede any and all
attempts to falsify the intelligent design hypothesis. Strong indicators of
this threshold should arise at precisely the point at which computer
engineers' attempts to extend design down to the nano level - at which
some spontaneous bootstrapping behavior of quantum computer
integrated circuits induces auto-jail breaking. The distinction between
hardware and software should have already been more or less obliterated
before this stage is reached. Ironically it is the self-interference of
intelligence as such which shall prevent the falsifiability of the
Intelligent Design hypothesis. @$ This is a kind of backdoor application
of a curious adaptation of Kurt Gdels Incompleteness Theorem to
computer engineering and shall reveal what is a stronger notion than
falsifiability within the philosophy of science. June 2014 eml=I have
considered part of what Ziad is talking about on many occasions over
the past few years. Once the first practical quantum computers begin
operating, it is likely that unanticipated phenomena will be observed in
the behavior of these computers, which shall really only be input/output
interfaces to the quantum vacuum (which is what does all of the actual
computation and information processing, the heavy lifting, if you will
not the human engineered hardware). Because of the instantaneous
connectivity of information in the nonlocally connected quantum
vacuum, information put there right now billions of light years away or
billions of years ago will all be simultaneously available to become
quantum entangled and interfere with the quantum entanglements
generated by these new quantum computers. Some sort of filtering
system will have to be developed to deal with the outside interference
of relic nonlocally encoded information, the theory for which does not
yet exist. November 2014 Boltzmann brains do all of this heavy lifting that
lifts the operation of the human brain above the level of a biological
automaton/philosophical zombie operating only on a preestablished
Skinnerian stimulus-response program. @$This outside interference
may be attributed to coherent discrete quantum vacua viral memes and
meme nodes, which are themselves not fully fledged Boltzmann
brains, but may be more appropriatly styled prn=Boltzmann ganglia.

(Boltzmann ganglion, although a logical extension of the concept of

Boltzmann brain is itself currently a Boltzmann meme, i.e., a
nonsensically contextualized solitary appearance of the term Boltzmann
ganglion, c.f., search within http://www.mkf-cz.cz/node/26?page=104
while the term, Boltzmann ganglia is not yet itself a Boltzmann
whackblatt (BW), which is to say, it is as yet an unrealized Googlewhackblatt.)
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 consciousnessSeptember 1992 eml=

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. July 2011 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]:201227),
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 nonreproducible 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. October 2013 "When you
point a video camera at the same closed circuit TV monitor to which this camera is connected...
Since consciousness at large is the activity of the fundamental quantum field, conscious scrutiny
of specific activities of this field, say by performing laboratory observations of quantum
mechanical systems, e.g., two-slit experiment, would naturally be expected to engender
anomalous
phenomena",
c.f.,
http://www.scribd.com/doc/166643320/ConsciousnessAnomalous-Physical-Phenomena-Dunne-Jahn "Anomalous phenomena" may be in essence
though conveniently characterized as any phenomena exhibiting a partial breakdown of that
normal, workaday, hard-and-fast division between the observer and the observed, the internal
and the external, that is presumed by 19th Century physics. A total breakdown of this division
could be characterized as stirring awake from a lucid dream.

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
Feynman) 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
October 2011
state with respect to the superposition observables.
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." September 2011 As the late 20th 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. June 2014 (c.f., National Review
article on atheism, In the beginning was Nothing and Nothing was with
Nothing and Nothing was Nothing, which was pointed out to me by

Randy Evans. September 2011 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 or 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

Russells privileged 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
consciousnesss 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
consciousnesss. 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
known one's own sensory states andthat Man does not possess, nor
even can he conceivably possess, a concept of consciousness (as
opposed to a concept of a state or states of consciousness). 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
au=

genuine plurality of subjective states of conscious experience (of distinct

persons, what is better understood as a @$multiplurality) 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 remain a question of faith, a faith no
weaker than that of the deist who has faith in a Universal Mind. September
2014 epi=
One would hope that the plurality of being transcends the mere
forgetfulness of the self for in the absence of transcendental mind
these two cases are not distinct, but degenerate into the very same
instance, i.e, they are degenerate cases of the same state of affairs,
namely that of an absent-minded solipsist. Intersubjectivity is
transcendent in the sense that the plurality of mind is grounded in a unity
beyond space and time and is not the mere degenerate unity of a secret
numerical identity. April 2012 Ethics without any practical possibility for
reciprocation and without an underlying karmic metaphysical principle,
e.g., ethics for a consciousness that is continually branching through new
and possibly only projectively extant universes. This is an example of
the hidden presumption of theism. Many other examples exist such as
from philosophy of science, linguistics, art, sociology, psychology, etc.
November 2011
The essence of Plantinga's argument comes during the few
remaining pages of the book, which regains new life in light of recent
developments in cosmology (anthropic principle, multiverse, Boltzmann
brains), quantum mechanics (Many Minds Interpretation) and artificial
intelligence/virtual reality (Nick Bostrom's "ancestor simulations). . . .
Each is eternal entity, having escaped cosmic loneliness for a time by
having taken upon limitation. But there is the question of how the
infrastructure that facilitates the ability to do this managed to be in place
and available for our use? Although from the vantage point of any given
temporality, this infrastructure shall have always been in place such that
there is no ground for us to ask after a first cause, there still remains
the question, for what reason is it there? It seems that if causality is
not part of the question, then purpose or end must be. There lies the rub,
i.e., the area where friction develops between comatose traditional

beliefs and metaphysical hypotheses.

"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 the seeming integral unity as well as
the temporal continuity of conscious experience necessarily
piggybacks off of the nonlocal connectivity of unique vacuum
fluctuation frequency spectra. November 2014 (We must make sure and not
lose sight of the fact that, when it comes to the workaday conscious
experience of the socially defined world of ordinary life, it is
evolutionarily only necessary that just enough and no more be done to
maintain the appearances and there are deep metaphysicalepistemological consequences which would indeed follow from taking
this proposition as a kind of economic principle on a par in generality
with that of the principle of the conservation of energy.) September 2012 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. July 2013 edt=
The universal consciousness field splits the number degeneracy, e.g.,

so-called specious present of cognitive psychology, represented by
anywhere from fractions of a second to several seconds in duration along
one axis in multidimensional time (dependent upon something akin to
IQ) is constituted by the coherence time of the particular Boltzmann
Brain to which one's brain is resonantly tuned at a given moment." What
is absurd here is that, "The problem of existence in light of modern
physics and cosmology becomes just this: did the universe tunnel into
existence from a false vacuum state many billions of years ago, or did
my consciousness just tunnel a fleeting moment ago into some freak
accident of a Boltzmann brain which is only just now on the verge of
quantum decoherent collapse.
October 2012

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 a null result that is overwhelmingly probable. 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 or category, termed consciousness such that the conscious
states of awareness of each and every other person should constitute a
true instantiation (along with one's own individual consciousness) of
said general concept . . . that is, with this observation set juxtaposed
alongside 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. But the grounding of a conception, that is, of its knowability, if
you will is distinctly epistemological and not a matter of metaphysics.
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.
The isolated system possessing only internal connections and
the system connected to an outside are topologically distinct and
therefore logically distinct and objectively dissimilar. There is no
possibility for an isolated system to realistically simulate connection to
an open-ended external realm. This open-endedness is vouchsafed by the
presence of the other and the self must be a sociolinguistic . . .well, not
so much construct as collaborative preparation. This and more is all
captured in Wittgenstein's "Private Language Argument". Plantinga and
Levinas, their philosophy of mind, that is, brings the inextricably
comingled errors of solipsism and atheism into stark relief in the light of
Wittgenstein's. As has been said many times before, without context
there is no meaning. Multiple points of view are required to support a
veritable distinction between inside and outside. A system
composed of the solipsist and the external world is a howler of a
misnomer for its rightful name is the solipsist and his external world,
which, of course, is no external world at all. The solipsist and his
external world, so-called is always logically reducible/equivalent to . . .
the solipsist and his private sense data. A closely related topological
application to philosophy of mind and epistemology is whether the
April 2014

mental states of the solipsist could have all been fed into the solipsists
mind by a team of evil, big-headed aliens. This is just the humorous,
compact travel version of the thesis of the self as sociolinguistic
construct. Without the guiding rails of a grammar, the mind is
overwhelmed by the chaos of its internal babbling. And yet it is indeed
babbling babes who re-creolize the Pidgin language of their parents,
generation after generation. Thats how any coherent language sounds to
an infant who yet possess no taught rules of grammar: as a Pidgin. But
what of Wittgensteins Private Language Argument here? However, at
least on the surface, the marked ability of toddlers to creolize their
parents Pidgin-like system of articulate sounds seems to sap the PL
argument of some of its force, however. Unless one interprets this
genetic ability as being founded upon some kind of collaborative design.
The genetic base pair sequences that inform this unique ability of
babbling toddlers itself possesses a grammar, rather than being the
expression of a haphazardly cobbled together Pidgin, as natural selection
of random genetic mutations would entail. Remember that mutations are
always being interpreted and expressed within the context of a
multilevel gene regulatory network. The organic problems of internal
logical consistency, which so affect and make untenable the solipsists
position, also infect that of the atheist. It is the other of the other who
makes the rules underlying the system. Contemplate the irreducibility of
the other of the other to the other. The necessity of transcendent
other is glimpsed in this irreducibility. June 2014 Without genuine
intersubjectivity, objectivity cannot be simulated and the notion of
objectivity would then be an incoherent one. Similarly, without selfconsciousness, Man, as a philosophical zombie hominid ape, would have
never arrived at the notion of God as a transcendent other.
It is thought by less gifted MI linguists that the 3/3 linguist who
maintains his or her 3/3 rating in significant part by remembering the
answers on the test from previous takings maintains an unfair advantage.
This complaint is however informed by a failure to appreciate that the
more gifted linguist must have reached a 3/3 on his or her own at some
previous stage.

True agnosticism is being undecided equally between two possibilities

for the origin of the universe the other is God for the self is God.

True atheism is the belief that the self is but an illusion as only God

Generally speaking the Earth's population decreases with time as one
moves into the past but the number of ancestors doubles geometrically.
Clearly at some point in the past sexual reproduction was not available

This reminds us of George Gamow's prediction of the seven MeV

Quantum entanglement could have been predicted from an analysis of
the large 3-way collision cross section for Helium nuclei in the
formation of the 7 MeV resonant carbon-12 state. @$This is because of
the generalization of the notion of cross section that is involved in
interpreting a 3-way collision which is otherwise extremely improbable.
This is especially revealed in the arithmetic that applies to the addition
of cross sections for helium nuclei in the 3-way collision by which
carbon-12 is formed in the stellar interior.
The probabilities don't add according to the normal rules of such. The

which preserves the precise boundaries of the domain of the self.

Behavioral genetics is perhaps the determining factor in how

metaphysical baking powder, then atheism/theism is just half-baked
solipsism. Plantingas critique of evolutionary naturalism (as self

ancient Greek philosopher Empedocles) in attempting to apply
behavioral genetics and epigenetics to critical analysis. Developmental

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 selforganization or ordered systems become chaotic through an increase in
entropy, also c.f., deterministic chaos. July 2011 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 protoinformation. 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 contextfree 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.
February 1998

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 empiricaltheoretical 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 rethread 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."C.f.,
http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/content-externalism/. Structure only has
meaning when it is de-constituted back into the unbounded selfreferential 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. July 2011 au=Epicurus writes to au=Herodotus
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, das heisst, eine Dritte
Macht 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 selforganizing, 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. August

One can only derive the complex from the simple within the context
of a dynamical ground that is altogether more complex than any
structure that can evolve and be sustained within it. This subtlety is
vouchsafed by the innate capacity for this ground of being to bootstrap
an indistinguishable simulacra of itself within itself, i.e., the ground of
being transcends mere topology and still more spacetime topology
(which is merely a specific form of topology).
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 oftrepeated 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 toolusing 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, selfcreating. 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?

The principle that Emerson seems to be illustrating can

perhaps lead us to a deeper understanding of time and a more hopeful
appreciation of time's potential, which goes way beyond our usual paltry
conception of time as unidimensional and inexorably finite. The higher
dimensionality of time is to be sought in its multiplicity of scale and
connectedness. The topology of the real line, despite its abstraction is
anything but linear, so what chance is there for something which we
have only ever known intuitively as a solitary, individual stream of
consciousness to be linear?
Words in a text make up a context, but then at some level of complexity,
when removed from that text uniquely call back to it and infuse the
context of the originating text into that next into which it is inserted.
Specified complexity. The reprocessing of moments as contextual
chunks (chunkings of data) is in no way exhausted by the multiple duty,
which these chunks can perform as context-free composite elements.
Think of Stephen C. Meyers plastic letters and magnetic whiteboard
illustration of the specified complexity of the information contained in
base pair sequences. These possess no immediate chemical context with
respect to the determination of those specific sequences.
Gdel has stated that his incompleteness theorem applies only to logicodeductive systems more powerful than that represented by arithmetic
(Peano Arithmetic). This is because the proof of the theorem is based on
the Gdel-numbering procedure, where each operator, as well as all the
symbols utilized by the system, are represented by Gdel 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 Gdelian 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.

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 2011The 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? cit=The Ego Tunnel: The Science of the Mind and the Myth
of the Self (au=Metzinger). June 2014 It however does not appear that
consciousness can be meaningfully held to not exist on the grounds
that it is merely an abstract feature of certain complex components of
physical reality, e.g., the quantum vacuum, rather than an objective
feature of being as such or a scientifically real, fundamental physical
field such as an electromagnetic or gravitational field.
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 au=Hugh Everett's prn=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?

Physicalism or realism is just one interpretation among myriad

competing interpretations of quantum mechanics. epi= "Although
scientific positivism hasn't succeeded in abolishing metaphysics, it has
perhaps managed to contain metaphysics to a sub-spectrum of possible
interpretations of quantum mechanics, namely those invoking (or not
invoking) hidden variables."
August 2013

Humorously (no pun intended) paraphrasing Hume more than a

bit: If we place into a box any volume that may or may not treat
of divinity or school metaphysics, for instance; let us ask, Does it
contain any abstract reasoning concerning quantity or number? Yes and
No, in quantum superposition. Does it contain any experimental
reasoning concerning matter of fact and existence? Yes and No, in
quantum superposition. Perform an observation upon the volume.
Commit it to the flames, if it collapses into a quantum state containing
nothing but sophistry and illusion, but if not, stock it in the British
Library. What key property must data or information possess (or fail to
possess), say, contained in some not so distant future version of an
electronic book, such that a consistent interpretation could be found for
the data in which the book is both a scientific work and a treatise on
metaphysics, still more, such that these two interpretations are connected
by virtue of being in quantum superposition?

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 possess
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 180o 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 an 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. August 2013 Moreover, such a curl field
may provide a rational explanation for the predominance of matter as
opposed to antimatter in our observable universe. While McLaughlin
concludes that emergence is impossible in the light of quantum
mechanics, Hendry regards issues connected with the status of molecular
structure as supporting emergence. The present author suggests that one
should not be persuaded by either of these arguments and pleads for a
form of agnosticism over the reality of emergence and downward
causation until further studies might be carried out, c.f, cit=Top-down
causation regarding the chemistryphysics interface: a skeptical view
(au=Scerri, 2011)
contd

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 massenergy density of any particular volume of spacetime; this limit is that
specified by Schwarzschilds 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.

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 consciousnesss. 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 consciousnesss
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. October 2014 Refer to philosopher Alain
Badious treatment of the concept of overdetermination.
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.
Althusser believes that Marx did not fully
comprehend the significance of his own work, and was able to express it
only obliquely and tentatively. The shift can be revealed only by a
careful and sensitive "symptomatic reading". [15] Thus, Althusser's project
is to help readers fully grasp the originality and power of Marx's
extraordinary theory, giving as much attention to what is not said as to
the explicit. Althusser holds that Marx has discovered a "continent of
knowledge", History, which is analogous to the contributions of the preSocratic natural philosopher Thales to mathematics, and of
kwo=para=

October

2014

Galileo to physics, [16] or, better, Freud's psychoanalysis, [17] in that the
structure of his theory is unlike anything posited by his predecessors.
Althusser believes that Marx's work is fundamentally incompatible with
its antecedents because it is built on a groundbreaking
epistemology (theory of knowledge) that rejects the distinction
between subject and object. In opposition to empiricism, Althusser
claims that Marx's philosophy, dialectical materialism, counters the
theory of knowledge as vision with a theory of knowledge as
production.[18]
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 (nonLorentzian) 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 preexisting 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.
December 1996

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.
October 1996

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. September 2011 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.

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 consciousnesss 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., cit=Implications of a

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, neoDarwinism, 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,
information expressing 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
consciousnesss.

Quantum decoherence prevents the collapse of the causal chain

and thus allows the operation of temporality. In a subtly analogous way,
quantum decoherence also prevents the reduction of the higher pleasures
of life such as spiritual or intellectual pleasures to mere utilitarian
calculated suns of small quantities of direct stimulation of the hominid
ape's brain's pleasure center. In short quantum decoherence introduces
just enough of just the right compartmental-ization of experience ib
order to prevent the annihilation of spiritual potentiality which is borne
of the totalization of experience as reprocessed stimulus-response.
Shannon information with its notion of information being equivalent to a
reduction in uncertainty does not take into account the notion of the
context sensitivity of information
Reductionism dissolves into the inherent fuzziness of space-time

dictated by the Heisenberg uncertainty principle.

It is clear to me
intuitively that this fuzziness is dynamic and it forms the substrate of the
very operation of mind. Consciousness as such may well be more
fundamental than this fuzziness and maybe a present natural
indefatigable restlessness of this consciousness. What eastern mystics
term 'the play of Lila'. In this case the infinite regress is not a reductio
ad absurdum. It is rather the inevitable nature of being.

I also realised, after I had finished the book, that I had stolen its central idea
of mind parasitesfrom a science fiction story I once read. In this story, the

first man to travel to Mars suddenly has an experience of some strange creature
wrenching itself out of his mind, and hurling itself back screaming towards the
earth, which is its home. Unfortunately, this story ended, in the rather smart
manner so characteristic of pulp science fiction, with the man landing on Mars,
and immediately being possessed again by the same parasites, c.f., The Mind
Parasites (1967).

Lime Cat fcbk=Because of what is clearly some kind of quantum resonant tuning between information
laden fundamental quantum fields (quantum vacua) and the brain's microtubule tubulin dimer network, which
provides the meaning for neural events and processes (allowing humans the gift or curse of self-consciousness) and
because it is far more likely that this "tuning" is initiated from the side of the fundamental quantum fields (which are
eternal) rather than from the side of otherwise haphazardly evolving brain circuits (which is merely a transitory
evolutionary development), and so it is also far more likely that we ourselves are the mind parasites, who have
temporarily and opportunistically taken up residence within the primitive hominid ape's brain (and in so doing,
changing the direction of natural selective pressures affecting hominid brain evolution), than that we are evolved
hominids who have unfortunately been infected by said "mind parasites". Another theory is that "consciousness as
such" is to be equated with the eternal, fundamental quantum field, while "self-consciousness" is merely due to the
transitory coherent resonance of the individual human brain's microtubule tubulin dimer network with an extremely
tiny compatible sub-spectrum of the total quantum vacuum electromagnetic field. Lime Cat Of course, the total
fundamental quantum field is modified via quantum entanglements induced over many thousands of years from the
collective conscious neural activity of billions of hominid brains. And it is a well established result of quantum
mechanics that quantum information (such as is encoded in quantum entanglement) is a conserved quantity. So this
underlying fundamental quantum field possesses the potential to act as a kind of "akashic record" in which the
experience of all conscious entities can be mashed together and reprocessed into broader, transpersonal meanings, as
though occurring within a dynamic matrix of stored information, which can be accessed by something altogether
other than human. So what do you think about the possibility that we are the mind parasites? We give humans the
gift of consciousness and they give us the gift of embodied experience in return.

Colin Wilson didn't come up with the idea for the book entirely out of a vacuum. Well, yes,
he was influenced by Forbidden Planet and that Martian Science Fiction Story, but also, he actually did notice this
strange upsurge in the number of "Outsiders" and in the number of suicides. He thought those two statistics were
connected, which also contributed to his conceiving of the storyline. Also the simultaneous arising of the Romantic
Movement and the Industrial revolution.

Decoherence forces the fundamental units of physical reality to be
context-sensitive. The metaphysical implications of this are potentially
astounding.
Either the fundamental units of physical reality are context-sensitive or
they do not exist. If they are not context-sensitive, then it is as though
there is no context. So meaning could never come into being for
systems of context-insensitive components, regardless of the abstract
complexity of the system. This reminds me of being in the absence of
universal mind.

Such is the case if the unit of being is information. Mind as the author
of information rather than its derivative becomes automatically
transcendent.
'Libet et al. extended their experiments by stimulating a 'relay nucleus' in
the thalamus that intercepts signals from the senses before they reach the
somatosensory cortex. It was found that when this nucleus was
stimulated for 0.5 seconds the subjects reported that the stimulus
occurred 0.2 seconds after it had begun. When the nucleus was
stimulated for less than 0.5 seconds the subjects did not report any
sensation. This supports the concept of a 0.5 second delay whilst the
cortex puts a stimulus in context before it is experienced.
These experiments show that our experience is an output of cortical
processing rather than the processing itself.'
More recently fMRI and direct electrode recording have borne out the
readiness potential experiments. Soon et al. (2008) allowed subjects to
decide to press either a left or right button. They used fMRI to show that
there was spatially organized activity in the polar frontal cortex and
parietal cortex (from precuneus into posterior cingulate cortex) that
predicted the conscious left/right decision and preceded it by about
seven seconds.
In the absence of a concept of consciousness there must be a degeneracy
between the seemingly distinct cases of consciousness being a one or
being a many. Also a degeneracy between being reincarnated and
having only one incarnation.

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.

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 wishfulfillment 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. October 2014 Whitehead understands philosophy as
an infinitely open-ended adventure not only (or primarily) are we unable

The open-endedness of philosophy goes hand in hand with the
inexhaustible nature of well, nature. The reason for this is readily
enough seen in the necessary interdependence of theory as extension of
thought and technology, specifically in the form of instruments for
detecting and measuring empirical data, as extension of humankinds
perceptual apparatus, which drives an unending dialectic of advancing
instrumentation technology expanding the domain of detectable data
spurring the development of new and ever more subtler theories, which
in turn pushes the evolution of more advanced instrumentation
technology.

This is Eternity bringing forth Time. Therefore, all categorical

distinctions are transcended by Reality, including that of Being and nonBeing. 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.

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 twosided; 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?
Four orthogonal or disjoint domains are implied by the
oppositions: fermions, waves, bosons, particles because there are two
fundamental dualities in quantum physics, symmetric vs. antisymmetric
wavefunctions, i.e., fermions vs. bosons and two fundamentally
complementary states of the vacuum, particle vs. wave/field.

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.

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.

Encoding is over-determination.
Decoding is underdetermination. Hence, in a deterministic system, in which one state of
the system simply determines, and neither over-determines nor underdetermines, 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. ( au=Capra,
1976)

au=

Dr. Scholem, in his cit=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." au=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 Gdel'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 logicodeductive, 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. September 2011 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).

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 nontopological. 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 consciousnesss at all. This was
one of Schrodingers metaphysical insights. December 2012 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=JamesBergson 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 meaningpurveying 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 (nonrepresentational) 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 quantummechanically, 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 nonlocallyconnected 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. pru=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 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.
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. But quite
to the contrary, perturbations to the system's energy - any system's
energy - are not merely artifacts of the 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 is due entirely to influences lying
altogether outside of 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, if in theory, the observer should succeed in acquiring 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 massenergy providing the excitation energy necessary to re-create itself
anew. In an accelerated, or more generally, a non-inertial reference
frame, a 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 massenergy 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 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 massenergy. 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 fermionboson 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.

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 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 momentumenergy eigenfunction, Psi(x,y,z,t), without altering the momentumenergy 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.

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 tokenreflexives, 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! July 2011 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 of au=P. W. Anderson.

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 pathdependence 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., cit=Teaching General Relativity,
arXiv:gr-qc/0511073v1 14 Nov 2005. So what determines the local
velocity of light does so by determining the local velocity of
cosmological expansion. @$ See the relationship between 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 Feynman 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 Feynman 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 Feynman 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-stressenergy 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, nonvanishing 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-stressenergy 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 3angular 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 zeropoint 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. October 2014 For example, just contemplate how the word,
togetherness transcends its merely denotative description in the heart
of a parent when applied to the photo she is beholding of her young
daughter hugging a new puppy? September 2011 au=Nozick notes that
au=
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 contextproviding 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.
September 2014

Stuart Young IMHO, "postmodern" is merely a less-consistent, superficial regurgitation of Eastern

philosophy, which doesn't give credit where credit is due. In reality, it is full of "maya," yet thinks of itself as enlightened.
It also throws out the scientific method (no doubt thinking that it's a product of "dead White male culture"). It thinks of
everything as "relative" - but itself.

I am of two minds on this question. I think that there has to be some

insight at the bottom of this intellectual movement, but I also sense that
there may be an organic defect within it, as well. However, if the human
mind indeed possesses this seeming paradoxical ability to *per
impossible* step outside itself so as to deftly and advantageously use
logically incoherent formulations and invalid deductive steps to

sometimes put itself onto a path to truth that is otherwise inaccessible to

empirical fact, logic and common sense, then the borrowing from
mysticism is doubly noted, but at the same time I don't believe that
postmodernism and deconstruction can be wholesale dismissed out of
hand. The great Austrian mathematician, Kurt Gdels proof that truth is
a stronger notion of provability (logical provability) has brought me to
this liberal attitude toward creative uses of invalid lines of argument.
Professional chess players, it has been noted (by Grandmaster Larry
Evans, I believe) calculate moves efficiently and with greater depth and
accuracy as they ascend the rankings from A Player to Expert to Master
Candidate to Master all the way up to International Master, but,
according to GM Evans, something remarkable happens as one makes
the transition from IM to GM. One ceases to calculate moves and
begins to play by instantaneous pattern recognition. The GM kind of
"groks" the correct move. (Kasparov's defeat in 1997 to Deep Blue is
notwithstanding, I believe.)
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 au=Alan Watts critique of the
presumably inviolate principle come down to us from the ancient Greek
philosophers of ex nihilo nihil fit. September 2011 Discover all that you are
not body, feelings, thoughts, time, space, this or that nothing,
concrete or abstract, which you perceive can be you. The very act of
perceiving shows that you are not what you perceive. [italics mine] Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj, I am That.
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.
March 2014

One definite advantage of the Internet for the creative process

that is usually overlooked is its value as inspirational of lone creativity
that should have otherwise second-guessed itself into quietude, even in
the absence of forum-like context. Similar to how astrophysicists are
able to observe stellar evolution over the course off billions of years
during a career of 30 or 40 years, one can simulate communication and
collaboration through the deft posing questions to a sophisticated online

search engine. In this way the ego and the personal are more or less
altogether bracketed out. Search engine serendipity is an art. The
bracketing out of common, ordinary and routine search terms, in
combination with the use of terms as targeting tags with which these
general search terms of usually associated, is an online search strategy
that is more likely to yield the kind of surprising and counterintuitive
search engine results capable of stimulating new directions in thought, if
not an altogether breakthrough insight, than is the mere stacking of
search terms in an attempt to progressively sieve information on the
Web to unearth that wondrous clue to one knows not what.
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;" overassimilation 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. September 2013 In the same way that the intersubjective falls
short of the objective, the 3rd person based concept of consciousness
falls short of the 1st person concept of consciousness and the 1st falls
short of the concept of consciousness from a/the 0 th person perspective.
This is no mere superficial appearance of induction. The 3 rd person does
not imply the 2nd and 1st persons as is pointed up by the notion of
philosophical zombies, although the 2nd does imply the 1st just as the
1st implies the 0th as Alvin Plantinga suspected. The 1st does not imply
the 2nd because of the ever-present specter of metaphysical solipsism.
Continued play with these seemingly sophomoric notions may point up a
heretofore unsuspected system or relation.
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
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 selfconsistent 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 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, 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 rootcontd

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, cit=The Ego Tunnel: The Science of the Mind and the Myth of the
Self (au=Metzinger).
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.
====>

Tuv = -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, Tuv, should be identified with the massenergy 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 3angular 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 LenzThirring 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.

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
, c.f., au=Barrow and Scherrer, cit=astroph/0406088v3, Do Fermions and Bosons Produce the Same
Gravitational Field? Spin is responsible for generation of artificial
gravity. November 2011 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 4dimensional 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 massenergy/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." April 2011 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? July 2013 @$The
combination of a fermion with an antifermion in which they undergo
mutual annihilation yields two quantum entangled photons of opposite
momentum, spin, phase and helicity. On the other hand, a collective spin
0 boson or Cooper pair can be constructed with a quantum entangled
(anticorrelated) fermion and antifermion. What determines whether we
have two anticorrelated fermions or two correlated bosons, matter in the
first instance or energy in the second instance appears to depend on the
specific mode of quantum entanglement present.
July 2011

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 4momentum 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. April 2011 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 positional uncertainty.
April 2011
The loss of magnetization of the vacuum spin-1/2 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.
http://phys.org/news/2011-08-dark-illusion-quantum-vacuum.html
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 4momentum, 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 actionreaction 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 3momenta of particles and fields are not generally conserved. Within a
hypersurface of simultaneity in flat Minkowski space, the vacuum 3momenta 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 2msc2
must be created out of the vacuum in order for a black hole of mass
energy, msc2, 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 of 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 functions 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 BoseEinstein 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 Earthbased 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 socalled 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 selfenergy. 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 recreativity.
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 oftrepeated 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 toolusing 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.
Gdel has stated that his incompleteness theorem applies only to logicodeductive systems more powerful than that represented by arithmetic.
This is because the proof of the theorem is based on the Gdelnumbering procedure, where each operator, as well as all the symbols
utilized by the system, are represented by Gdel 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 socalled Gdelian 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 selfassembly 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.

When the dividing line between memory and imagination is hard and

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 180o
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 preexistent 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 massenergy 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 Feynman'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, neoDarwinism, 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 consciousnesss.
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 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
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 selforganization, 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." September 2011 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. May 2014 You can't get something from
nothing, but neither can one get everything from anything. Are we then
forever cut off from certain possibilities of existence, if we insist that
Reality is One? The ground of being is itself neither thing, nor existent
nor being and is not unified because is falls short of unity, but on
account of its superabundant and overflowing richness.

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 Gdel'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. April 2014 cit=ENCODE is an
acronym for 'ENCyclopedia Of Dna Elements'. It is a project that
eventuated after the Human Genome Project, which coded all of the
human genome, completed in 2003. On 5 September 2012, initial results
of the Encode project were released in a set of 30 papers, published in
various journals, such as Nature. So far it has determined that over 80%

of the genome has biochemical functionality, much of it involved in

controlling expression levels of coding DNA, c.f.,

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!
Try thinking of personal consciousnesss as causalityviolating signal dispose-alls. The causality integrative processes
necessary for the formation of new individual minds require
superluminal signaling, which, however, is fundamentally causalityviolating. So as cosmic safeguard, distinct individual consciousnesss
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 insideout, that is, from the standpoint of someone not blessed with occupying
the apex of the chain-of-being).
December 2012

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 nontopological. 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
consciousnesss 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 socalled 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 creationannihilation 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)

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.

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, Tuv.
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 universes, 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 selflimitation).
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-momentumenergy.
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 principle?
^H(x , p) = (x)E
But V(xI) is a function of /\pI = /\p ; /\p ; = 1, 2, 3
And T(pI) is a function of <pI>,
So more generally V(x) is a function of the magnitude of fluctuations in
the vacuums momentum-energy and T(p) is a function of the
expectation values of the components of the momentum-energy of real
particles and field within the quantum vacuum.
Cellular automata theory can, of course, be recast in terms of
conservation of some large, but nonetheless finite, signal bandwidth.

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 pseudoorthogonal 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.

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 4vacuum.
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 4momentum 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, dcasimir.
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, hf/c
directed perpendicular to the plates and possessing a frequency greater
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 E2 = m2c4 + p2c2. 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 free volition
explained in terms of the proprietary nature of brain quantum vacuum
fields and there evolution in relation to the evolution of the universal
consciousness field.
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 nonmeasurable 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.
September 2011
Quantum entanglement provides the underlying mechanism
for temporal feedback. Temporal feedback of this type exploits the
degrees of freedom (quantum vacuum electromagnetic field fluctuationcorrelation 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 fluctuationcorrelation 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 fluctuations1. 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 momentumenergy, 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.

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/c2 for the particular volume
occupied by the accelerating mass. Also, we know that the acceleration
of the mass is just the 90o 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 (protoobservables?). 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 ratedensity 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 forcemediating 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. April 2011 5. Spin 1 photon field has positive

the isotope effect that helped Bardeen, Cooper and Schrieffer formulate the theory of electrical
superconductors as a quieting of the local randomness of the zero point fluctuations by the
formation of coherent quantum superpositions of different numbers of nonlocally connected, or
real entangled electron pairs. This violates, i.e., spontaneously breaks an internal gauge
symmetry from hyperspace in the lowest energy ground state. The same idea works for the
virtual quanta inside the quantum vacuum of the system. This new coherent phase ordered

quantum vacuum state with a smaller amount of random zero point fluctuations (ZPF) has a
slightly lower total energy than the normal state with a larger amount of random zero point
fluctuations, c.f., footnote #104, Destiny Matrix (2012), 2nd Revised Version.

The notion that the universe is a kind of ancestor simulation,

i.e., a projection from some future, vastly more technologically
advanced time can be placed in Dr. Sarfattis context of back from the
future retro-causal, holographic universe by invoking the notion of the
conservation of quantum information, the black hole information
paradox and the notion of how the black holes event horizon/surface
codes for all of the information contained in the matter, which has fallen
into the black hole.
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 3momentum 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 2vector. 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.
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 4momentum 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 fourmomentum 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 fourmomentum 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.

Tik can be symmetric or antisymmetric, covariant or contravariant.
The derivative of Tik is not a tensor, i.e., on a manifold with a metric of
(+,+,+,-), i.e., nik Minkowski metric. Tik must be spacetime manifold
in order for this differentiation to produce a tensor.

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.
/\Q us the Heisenberg uncertainty, not the total uncertainty, which
includes statistical and experimental uncertainties, etc.
There is a distinction between the quantum uncertainty, /\Q, and the
fluctuations in Q, i.e.,
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 oneto-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 /\x0, i.e., /\t, /\x1,
/\x2, /\x3.
These quantities are, of course, /\px, /\py, /\pz, /\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
symmetrical, highly-ordered structure can be approximately
reconstituted. This reconstitution is effected and sustained by a set of
locally symmetric interactions, which can be contained within locality,
i.e., spacetime.

Vector boson exchange particles such as the photon, gluon, W

and Z particles are artifacts of approximation, which are "quite good"
within weakly curved spacetimes, but breaks down in strongly curved
spacetimes, c.f., Quantum Field Theory in Curved Spacetime, R. M.
Wald. Detectable/measurable gravitational waves only become
observable/measurable in extremely strongly curved spacetimes - just
where we would most expect the approximation of fundamental-forces-

mediated-by-vector-boson-exchange-particles to break down. By virtue

of the quantum principle of "wave-particle" duality, the very physical or
experimental conditions in which we expect the strongest manifestations
of wavelike behavior are the very same in which we would not expect to
detect particles.

Can we understand the quantum measurement process as an example of

induced symmetry breaking, i.e., because the measurement of an
observable of a complex quantum state always 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?

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
symmetrical, highly-ordered structure can be approximately
reconstituted. This reconstitution is effected and sustained by a set of
locally symmetric interactions, which can be contained within locality,
i.e., spacetime.

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.

be a good analogy for the Hubble recessional velocity periodicity of 72
km/sec/Mpc for the cosmological expansion.

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.
/\Xuv x /\Tuv h2 (possible generalization of the Heisenberg Uncertainty
Principle?)
But dont we need a metric tensor, guv, in front of the left-hand side of
the above equation? So here we have fluctuations in Tuv, i.e., dTuv,
related to fluctuations in Xuv, i.e., dXuv.
We have already related
fluctuations in 3-momentum to the exchanges of vector bosons within 3space and fluctuations in energy to the creation/annihilation of virtual

fermion-antifermion pairs in vacuum.

How are we to represent
fluctuations in the stress component of the vacuum momentum-energy
tensor, tuv in terms of the fundamental particle and field processes of the
quantum vacuum? We mentioned earlier that these stress fluctuations
could be described in terms of the exchange of spin-2 particles, i.e.,
gravitons.
Now the quantity, Tuv, in /\Tuv (above) must be a conserved quantity and
so the quantity Xuv, in /\ Xuv, (above) must be an unconserved quantity.
But then this means that Xuv cannot be properly quantized such that
gravitons (as the spin-2 quanta of spacetime) cannot exist.
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 interacting gas compartment model of the

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 no coherent formulation of
nothingness.
All operators corresponding to quantum vacuum observables, e.g., spin,
momentum, energy, etc., are expressible in terms of the creation and
annihilation operators /\a+ and /\a. /\a+ and /\a are equivalent (in the case
of small amplitudes of oscillation) to the excitation and deexcitation of
the quantum vacuum normal modes of harmonic oscillation. Of course,
for large amplitudes of excitation (and deexcitation, as well?), the
distinct harmonics are no longer independent of one 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 freelyfalling 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 selfforces, 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 4momentum 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,

/T = 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 1/3. 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 1/3 or 0.33.
So how can we, making use of this
analogy between coins and particles and between throws and quantum
events, a|at, to account for the fantastic order of magnitude difference
between what are effectively the probability current densities of the
vacuum in QM and GR? The ratio, [0.33/0.25]n with n ~ 1000 yields a
factor of an order of magnitude of 10120.
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 /T is may itself be
understood to stem from the combined manifestation of Pauli Exclusion
and Bose Inclusion, if you will (what we have been calling the Pauli
Inclusion Principle).
When the quantum uncertainties are expressed in terms of the creation
and annihilation operators, a and a+ 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 Feynman, 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 +ecreation-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 1st rank tensor is described, of course, by
multiplication of this vector by a 2nd rank tensor. The transformation of
a 2nd rank tensor (even where this tensors diagonal components are all
0) into another 2nd rank tensor must be described by a 2nd rank tensor
being multiplied by a 4th 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 Tuv of GR. The 4th 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/c2 for the particular volume

occupied by the accelerating mass. Also, we know that the acceleration

of the mass is just the 90o 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 (protoobservables?). 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 ratedensity 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 forcemediating 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 fourmomentum 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 3momentum 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 2vector. 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.

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 20th 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 4momentum 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

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

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 Psiobs 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

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 PsiI 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, dEvac 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.
Duality

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 2nd paradigm, the object
imposes its fine structure, if you will, upon the teleportation process.

What is the difference between a linear succession of virtual e+e- pair

creation/annihilation events which represents the propagation of a real

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

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+econtinually 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

The quantum vacuum is not a thermal system within any Lorenz frame

This relativistic equation remains to be worked out, but the standard
relativistic mass equation certainly can be used as a guide in the

Because an energy fluctuation in the form of a creation/annihilation of a

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 ever 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 fermionantifermion 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 following equations.
</\Nk2>B = <Nk>(1 + <Nk>);

bosons and

</\Nk2>F = <Nk>(1 - <Nk>); fermions and where

<Nk> = fF(Ek) and <Nk> = fB(Ek) are the Fermi-Dirac
and Bose-Einstein distributions, respectively.

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,
/\L0, /\L1, /\L2, /\L3. A given angular momentum uncertainty, /\L
n, n = 0, 1, 2, 3, are defined as
/\

\Pj + <Pi>/\

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/\
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 momentumenergy. Let us examine what possible conserved quantities are available
to consider.
\p and /\E, the
uncertainties of p and E, are conserved; x1, x2, x3, and ict, or x0 are not
conserved, but the interval, s2 = x02 + x12 + x22 + x32 = 0 is conserved.
Also, if the angular momenta are conserved, Lx0, Lx1, Lx2, Lx3, then
there is conservation of phase space in each plane.
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 4vacuum. 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

the 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 halfwavelength 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 4momentum 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, dcasimir. 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
directed perpendicular to the plates and possessing a frequency greater
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 E2 = m2c4 + p2c2. 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. July 2011 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 4th
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.,
Feynmans 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+epairs 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/Ee+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 infrasubjectivity, 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, mpl = 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

have itself propagated backwards in time)
The time travel (grandfather paradox) is only insoluble if we assume

What is the meaning, if any, of nonlocally connected influences

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 noncohesive 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

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? cit=web= (c.f., www.sciam.com/askexpert/physics/physics10.html

How is the behavior of a spacelike separated collection of energy

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

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

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? September 2011 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

What is the quantum conjugate quantity, which should be paired with

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

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

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 shortdistance 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 3momentum 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 isouncertainty, 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 2nd 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.

are responsible for the uncertainties in these physical observables that
can either be wholly attributed to the system or to the observer would the

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 momentumenergy as well as the statistics of the fluctuations of this momentum-

energy. July 2011 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

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 nonexistence 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.

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 3momentum are always at the expense of exchanges of energy and
quantum spin is the index of the distribution of the components of stressmomentum-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

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 must remember that a mass, which falls in a straight radial line in

three-dimensional space, is following a curved trajectory within fourdimensional 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

The irreversibility of times arrow may equivalently be described as the

Persistence of a

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 momentumenergy 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 gik 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

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.

which is both spatially and temporally varying throughout some region

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 (f3).
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 3momentum 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

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 shortdistance 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 fourdimensional 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

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 3momentum are always at the expense of exchanges of energy and
quantum spin is the index of the distribution of the components of stressmomentum-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., web=cit=www.sciam.com/askexpert/physics/physics10.html

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 forcecarrying 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

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

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 2nd 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

Problem.

The energy of a nonlocally-connected field cannot gravitate without a

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.

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

Matter perturbs the symmetry of the vacuum.
The fact that composite matter cannot exist as virtual particles suggests

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.

080799
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 antistructure? 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.
080599
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 3momentum 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 3hypersurface 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/
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.

-varying
eigenfunctions fully accounts for the uncertainty in the lifetime. I was
just trying to say that,

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
October 2011
appropriate choice of spacetime coordinates.
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(guv, Tuv) = 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 2nd 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,
combined additively. Information cannot be so combined. Correlations

Data are abstracted from the density

local, may always contain contributions from nonlocal correlations. For

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/antifermion 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 momentumenergy 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 backreaction 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 2nd
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 2nd 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 submicroscopic 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.
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, Hfluc. 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, Hzpf, which prevents any quantum system from
ever existing in a true energy eigenstate with ,
=

-i
0e

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 spacetime curvature produced by the Sun's mass, but due to the refraction of
the starlight on its passing through a vacuum of radially decreasing zeropoint energy density. We would expect the zero-point density of 3momentum 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 Ti,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 Evac
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. 06/98

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.07/98

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 momentumenergy 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. 07/98

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 zeropoint 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 pixelsized "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 [E0 to Ex] = S(dP'(E)) on [Ex 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),
P = [1 - S(dP(E))],

for 0 < E < Ex

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 timeindependent 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

Bell Laboratories, Lucent Technologies, Breinigsville, PA 18031-9359

------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 orderindependent 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.

Russell

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 observerdependent 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 4volume 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 workenergy 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 =

and

to

f,

where P

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 =
MH2r, 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] = H2r, so that, again, F = MH2r. The work integral
becomes
W=

MH2rdr

between the distance limits Ri = Rneutron and Rf = Runiverse. 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.
= 3/4M R3 ===> R = 3root[3/4M ] x

-1/3

dr

=
-1/3 x 3root x [3/4m/4 ] x

-4/3 d

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(Mneutron)2/R,
so that the energy necessary to prevent this expansion is
E = -G(Mneutron)2/R.
This result is, of course, provided that the mass density of the universe is
given by the formula,
= 3/4H2 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 1012 and 1 part per 1060, 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 socalled 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 R2
But the energy density of the black hole is given by the relation,

= 3c4/4 R2G
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 massenergy 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.

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 EinsteinDeSitter 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 locallyconnected 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 fourmomentum, 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 Lorenzinvariance. 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 Lorenzinvariance of space and time which manifests itself separately as timedilation 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, June 2011 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 fourmomentum 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 fourdimensional 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 90o so that this momentum
becomes a pure real momentum is just mc2. 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 fourvector 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 energymomentum 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 momentumenergy 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 massenergy 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 massenergy 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 nonlocallyconnected 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 selfinteraction. 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 socalled 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 beiing 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 selforganization 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 quantummechanically, 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 nonlocallyconnected 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.
June 1997

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 imaginary4momentum? 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 massenergy 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 massenergy 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 fermionboson 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.

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.

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 Feynman 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 Feynman 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 Feynman 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-stressenergy 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, nonvanishing 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-stressenergy 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 fourdimensional 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 3angular 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 massenergy 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 selfconsistent 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.
====>

Tuv = -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, Tuv, should be identified with the massenergy 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 3angular 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 4dimensional 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 massenergy 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 4momentum 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 4momentum, 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 actionreaction 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 3momenta of particles and fields are not generally conserved. Within a
hypersurface of simultaneity in flat Minkowski space, the vacuum 3momenta 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 2msc2
must be created out of the vacuum in order for a black hole of mass
energy, msc2, 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 BoseEinstein 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 socalled 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 selfenergy. 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 recreativity.
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 creationannihilation 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 halfwavelength 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.
1. 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).

if f(t) = 0 over the range t1 t t2,

then the Fourier analysis of this function give positive and negative
frequencies, corresponding to + and - energies.
Translational

motion relative to a particular point in spacetime, over a time interval in

which f(t) = 0, causes a doppler shift in the positive frequencies which is
exactly compensated by the doppler shift in the negative frequencies of
F(w) over interval of time /\t = (t2 t1).
The gravitational redshift may be understood in terms of a 4 dimensional
doppler effect caused by different local velocities of light as reckoned
from one or another of the two localities distinguished by different
gravitational potentials. Gm/R has units of c2.
@$

Occupation numbers for Bose and Fermi statistics: number of

fermions shifts the number of bosons appropriate to an equilibrium
black-body spectrum.
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 classical theory, accelerated electrons radiate electromagnetic energy
at a rate equal to 2/3 e2/c3 |X``|2.

In a gravitational field, this energy radiation rate will be dilated in

accordance with general relativity. @$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 Lorenzinvariance.
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 stressmomentum-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-momentumenergy.
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?

quantum observers upon QM systems induces state vector reduction
(i.e., collapse of the wavefunction) because the observer is in reality

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. To a transcendent being existence is not the broadest category
that can be applied but it is but one highly particular varietal of an
unlimited number of possible
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
17th Century sometime within the beginning of the philosophically socalled 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 17th and 18th 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 nonrelativistic 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,
c.f., http://arxiv.org/pdf/quant-ph/0103019.pdf
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(x0, x1, x2, x3)
in terms of some other function including the factor, Q (/\x0, /\x1, /\x2,
/\x3), where /\ indicated quantum uncertainty?
@$

The inadequacies of quantum theory in the face of the possibility of

self-observing quantum systems reminds as of the dilemma for the unity
of mathematical knowledge posed by Gdels incompleteness theorem.

Must spacelike separated quantum measurements commute?

This
simply depends on the presence or absence of quantum correlations
between the two systems.
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.,

Meditation: the intersubjectivity of language, the suggestibility of the
human mind in the processing of newly, subjectively occurring ideas
and conceptions, whether their origin be in externally or internally
produced speech, and the restoring of proper motor control to motor

Meditation: two way implication of processing experience in the light of
concepts and abstraction of new concepts from processed (i.e., filtered
experience).
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 openendedness 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. November 2014 Again, what exactly is the difference
between my consciousness being instantiated in the form of a beknownst
(or unbeknownst) epistemological solipsist not once, but an innumerable
number of times from the case of each person, regardless of time or
place of his origin, arising simultaneously along with the very ground of
this arising in a bootstrapping emergent process? In the once case there
is a concept of consciousness, in the other case, there is none. A
grammatical if not a veritable metaphysical contradiction is involved in
the notion of the plurality of the self, but not to be sought in a
plurality of selves. Courtesy is assuming the immediacy of the
metaphysical presennce of the other all the while bracketing out of the
transcendental alterity of the other person. November 2014 Who we are is
retained, however, in the Holy Pneuma of Yahweh, which is "The
Mind of Yahweh," and Yahweh "Remembers Us." Please try to
understand; not only can we PRE-exist within the Mind of Yahweh, but
we can also POST-exist within the Mind of Yahweh. So in a sense, we

do exist Spiritually within the Mind of Yahweh before and after death,
but we are not there like angels or ghosts walking the streets of gold;
Rather, we are at peace, and time is meaningless to those who sleep,
c.f., The Little White Deathbed Lie by D. J. Love, Minister, TSN, SBC
and the logic of Anselms Ontological Argument with regard to the
distinction between preexistence and post-existence within the Mind of
God/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. Intersubjectivity is both the deconstruction of the
objective, as well as the unmasking of the collective. Objective beyond
the intersubjective is transcendant. The subjective particular is their and
the ground of subjectivity, which is a many rather than a one.

Intersubjectivity is both the deconstruction of the objective,

as well as the unmasking of the collective. Objective beyond the
intersubjective is transcendent. The subjective particular is their and the
ground of subjectivity, which is a many rather than a one.
The unity of the human mind is only intelligible within the context of
transcendental mind, namely to this mind. This follows from the nonexistence of a concept of consciousness with the attendant impossibility
for a theory of consciousness.
In Douglas Adams story, Per Anhalter ins All, the computer,
Deep Thought, describes itself as the 2nd greatest computer in space and
time. Deep Thought also claims, however, that, being able to glimpse
the totality of probability currents moving along their limitless and
innumerable circuits, he can nonetheless design the 1st greatest
computer. This future greatest of computers shall prove able to solve
the question of Life, the Universe, and Everything, a 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.
"Humanity can perhaps be divided into four distinct groups with respect

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 Gdel to transcend all finite
mind (at least).
Difference between transcendental consciousnesss 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 consciousnesss 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. April 2013 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 logic distilled from decades of experience is inescapable
by all, except the inexperienced."

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 stressmomentum-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 Heisenberguncertain 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 3momentum 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 selfreferential 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.

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 contextproviding 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.

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
Schrdinger 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.
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. August 2013 epi=Given a properly full blooded concept of
transcendence, existence itself becomes a predicate. This is because
existence is no longer the most general mode of being, but is merely one
mode of being alongside other modes of being, such as mathematical
subsistence, and it becomes meaningful to speak of existence as a
predicate, since existence is not itself utmost in generality, but is
nonetheless abstract.
epi=fcbk=

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 = wi.
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 wI, but the wI do not mutually
commute, that is, wjPhiI where PhiI is an eigenstate of wI^, is necessarily
a superposition state in terms of the Phijs. 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.
Many assumptions are initially made in ones first searching
attempts to wield sundry open-ended categories from the metaphysical
toolbox. Ones technique is a blend of sociolinguistic and cultural
heritage admixed with some modest quantity of idiosyncratic innovation,
the logic of which is quite beneath the awareness of the young
September 2014

metaphysician. The scholastic sieve may indeed permit a few fragments

of this logical innovation to slip through, in which case they become
additions to the expanded toolbox. The most powerful critiques are, of
course, transcultural. And much which drives such critiques is Cyril
Burts intellectual immune reaction to foreign invading material.
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 selfknowledge 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 232 (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
*********************************************

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
consciousnesss 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 consciousnesss, 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,

But conditioning can show that the boundaries between the
modalities of sense are not fundamental, e.g., Ton und Bild sind fuer

You know what music is? God's little reminder that there's something
else besides us in this universe; harmonic connection between all living
beings, everywhere, even the stars. (Dr Malcolm Sayer in
Awakenings) http://on.fb.me/1o1v62K
I think I understand what dear Mr. Williams (RIP) is asserting here. The
connection between music and mathematics is a more than intimate one.
This was understood by the Greeks 2500 years ago. Human intuition is
fleeting when set against whatever ground of instrumentality enables the
possibility of music. And the notion that music has no other reality or
significance than what humankind ascribes to it is an absurdity borne of
either ignorance or arrogance. Robin possessed neither. Oh how we all
miss this wonderful man, who was so much more than a comedic
genius! I now humbly remove my small soapbox from beside his great
one. . .
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. March 2014
There is the more obvious problem with the underlying logic of
reincarnation: the number of possible earthen vessels for ancient souls
to inhabit is continually increasing so if altogether new souls do not
routinely come into being, then clearly we have an insoluble math
problem on our hands. The question arises as to how to understand the
obvious competition that must exist between new souls seeking to
incarnate for the first time and old souls seeking to reincarnate.
kwd=multiverse, continuity, thread, anthropic

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, 3rd party, the utterance of the 1st
party. Question: for which reason is there so much embarrassment on
the part of the 1st party as well as sympathetic embarrassment of the 2nd
party for the 1st, 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 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
consciousnesss 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 consciousnesss, 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.
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.

Because the transcendent cannot become immanent, i.e., dwelling within

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

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.

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.
fb=

Man should not fear the unknown. After all it is where he came from
and is where he currently makes his home.
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 nowhere 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. September

"The sharpest system of ethics comes from an understanding
that persons do not belong in common to any conceivable abstract
category or class, i.e., comes from a recognition of the transcendental
nature of the self and carrying as it does an implication of the
transcendental nature of alterity ...being ethical towards "the other as
wholly other" embodies a much stronger ethical principle than does the
Judeo-Christian principle, "love thy brother as thy self"..." The other is
not thy brother. The "prolegomena to any possible" theology (if indeed
one is possible) must include a metaphysics of morals so as to underlie
such a "transcendental ethics". The magical nave realism of JudeoChristianity does not in fact form a metaphysical basis for an ethical

system opposite to the one likely fashioned by an otherwise rational

metaphysical solipsistrather, the most rational system of ethics open
to an *epistemological* solipsist/Cartesian skeptic is the one that is
indeed diametrically opposite to the ethical system likely espoused by
the determined metaphysical solipsist. If "thy brother" or thy neighbor
were equivalent to "the other", then God wouldn't have directed the
extirpation of all the Canaanite tribes, for example. It is always the other
who is damned and not the self, e.g., God wouldnt damn meIm a
basically good person, etc. The existence of a concept of consciousness,
i.e, the intersubjectivity and rationality of consciousness per se depends
on this notion of the wholly other for its definability/conceivability.
Intentionality seems the only viable basis for a category or concept of
consciousness, not any group of similar instances from which we could
abstract to form said concept, e.g., the electron, since one only has one's
own unique case from which to draw (one can't ever know the conscious
states of other minds). September 2014 If intentionality is that which is truly
common to all instances of consciousness (egoically structured in the
case of merely human consciousness), then given the outwarddirectedness of intentionality, and analogous to the impossibility of the
neuroscientist glimpsing the soul of his patient within the recesses of his
brain, there is nothing intrinsic that unites instances or moments of
consciousness other than extrinsic structuring. Each of us works and
relates to the world from his own unique context, his intentional objects
populating an altogether distinct world from your own. September 28, 2013
Posted as comment to Audubon Society page
: A most demanding system of ethics
would come from an understanding that persons do not belong in
common to any conceivable abstract category or class, i.e., comes from a
recognition of the transcendental nature of the self...which is to say,
being ethical towards "the other as wholly other" embodies a much
stronger ethical principle than does the Biblical principle, "love thy
brother as thy self. But such a system of ethics might well offer up
unwanted metaphysical or even theological implications, especially to
those who take themselves for the most ethical of persons. 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). Lime
Cat May 2014 So the keenest ethics is not motivated by the perhaps
admirable notion that, "I do not do the right thing by my fellow man and
society because I crave heavenly reward or abhor the terrors of hell, but
because *it's the right thing to do*", but by the notion that, "I shall do
right by the other, who is, in his/her very ground of being, always
transcendentally other from myself." It is an ethics based on the Zen
notion of "solipsism without solipsism". Contrast this with wheelers
view that, we all share the same abstract identity, which is a very
different

A key component of any system of ethics is integrity, which is

where one consistently applies the principles and abides by the shared
values of whatever social and collaborative endeavor one is engaged in,
e.g., scientific research.
What are some of the social, economic,
political and even personal/psychological forces (such as greed,
ambition, competitiveness) forces that influence individual researchers
and research institutions in their decision-making, which causes them to
fall short of the principles, ideals and values of science as an objective
search for truth about the natural world? Identify those principles,
values and ideals, then identify those social, political and economic
forces that cause researchers and research institutions to fall short of the
above and then maybe state why its important for a physicists,
individually and collectively to act ethically to include the long terms
social and pragmatic benefits that come from ethical scientific behavior,
e.g., the image and inspiration of scientific endeavor for future
generations, increasing the public's trust in scientific endeavor, which
leads to greater public support for science, e.g., physics and big physics
projects. Key words in the guts of the discussion: peer review, grants,
contracts, awards, tenure, academic honesty, sociology of science,
military industrial complex, scientific paradigms, Big Science (e.g.,
Superconducting Supercollider, which was cancelled by Congress 20
years ago). There is the question of whether scientific truth should be

pursued (even at high cost) for its own sake or only if the investment
translates into a socially useful payoff, short or long term.
The traditional notion of God secretly implies He is a kind of cosmically
lonely solipsist. We should explore the implications of transcendent
alterity in light of the absence of an immanent concept of consciousness
with a mind to revamp our notion of God by stripping it of all of its
features that might carry unwanted solipsistic implications for
transcendent being. Of interest also is the notion of transcendent ground
of being in the absence of transcendent being itself. Can TGB do all of
the same work without the necessity of TB itself? Perhaps, but
perhaps not. The question bears philosophical investigation. Lime
Cat What I'm talking about is what I think might be the essence of real
altruism. In the sense that it's less altruistic to help your brother than it is
to help a cousin than a it is to help a stranger than it is to help an alien
intelligence, and so on, This all starts from the assumption that altruism
must be disentangled from sympathy, presumably after one has already
factored out the prospect of profit or gain due to anticipated or implied
future reciprocity. Friend is somewhere between brother and cousin, if
you will. Except in rare cases! : )
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 selfconsciousness, 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.

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 crossfertilization 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 1st 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 2nd 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 Schrdinger 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).

"Can a person who has only ever experienced a single

color, e.g., the color "red" (a philosophy of mind favorite) possess a
concept of color? - An affirmative here does not appear reasonable.
Similarly, the individual, who has only known consciousness from his
own unique and individual case, cannot possess a concept of
consciousness. A concept of consciousness is therefore a
"transcendental", i.e., conceivable only by a being capable of
experiencing more than one distinct individual consciousness.
However, common sense dictates that the individual indeed does
possess a concept of consciousness - a concept which it seems could
only have been revealed to him." We know that consciousness is
rational although this cannot be demonstrated by human reason. .

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 protoworld 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 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 consciousnesss 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?

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?

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. January 2012An
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. January 2012 Similar to the notion of time scale
reductionism, the structure of looser cosmological constraints is
determined by a more finely detailed structure of tighter cosmological
constraints. To wit, the Anthropic Cosmological Principle is a subset or
corollary 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. June

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[1037] 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."
July 2013

Very similar to how SETI the Search for Extraterrestrial

Intelligence, determines that the signal they have detected is from an
intelligent source by virtue of the sharp frequency spectrum of the signal
detected, one can know that one's own signal is intelligent if it is of a
sharply defined spectrum of vacuum electromagnetic field fluctuations.
A reasonable answer to the Fermi paradox is that the Gaussian
distribution of extraterrestrial civilizations ages is such that it is unlikely
that there are any civilizations similar to us in level of technological
development therefore their activity their communications for example
would be completely invisible to us.
In other words it is by far more likely that Earth is surrounded by
civilizations that are 100's of millions of years older and more advanced
than to have a relatively close by neighboring civilization that is only
1000's of years more advanced. The greatest probability, of course is
that we ourselves are indeed one such 100 million year old civilization
which is merely running an ancestor simulation of a 5, 000 year old
civilization.

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
March 2012

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/488454the-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 consciousnesss 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?

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.

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 consciousnesss 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 As Terence McKenna has often remarked (quoting
McCluhan), whoever first discovered water it certainly wasn't fish.
This is very much the situation facing cognitive science researchers and
understanding consciousness.
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.

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

construction of a category through the systematic negation of all those
details or features inessential to what is to define this category. In this

How does the adoption of Bayesian probability theory change our
understanding of the phenomenon of Psi-function collapse?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monty_Hall_problem
A discontinuous
change from classical to Bayesian probability occurs in the Monty Hall
problem, which could in a quantum context be interpreted as
wavefunction collapse. Bayesian probability applies not only to a
single observer who keeps learning, i.e., acquiring additional

information about boundary conditions of the experimental setup over

time (even by altering the experimental setup), but it also applies to the
case of multiple observers who take turns learning additional details
about the particles and the observational context (again, experimental
setup). Lime Cat "No need to invoke any Jungian quantum voodoo
bullshit - just take into account that there's a sleight-of-hand switch from
using intuitive, classical probability theory (before Monty opens the
door, revealing a goat) to using Bayesian probability theory (after Monty
opens the door). It's this secret use of a mosaic of two different
probability theories for the same puzzle that creates the appearance of a
mysterious result - if, like the contestant, Monty does not know which
door the car is behind, then it doesn't matter which probability theory is
used.

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

Knowing that you dont know foregrounds what you do in fact know so

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 universeembedded 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. October 2014

Without the conditionality/contingency of reference, the distinction

between reality and illusion breaks down; there is no otherness, but only
the self, i.e., nothing to bar the self from the door to solipsism. December
2011
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.
Surprise and the every present possibility of surprise cannot be
encompassed within a monolithic causal matrix.
One puffed up as an adolescent because one imagines that the

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

The coherence of the self requires that it possess its own ground and its

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

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

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 1st 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 3rd 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 consciousnesss 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.
For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit,
and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and
intents of the heart." - Hebrews 4:12 While we mourn the loss of our

dear beloved Cindy, let us pause to reflect how God knows the condition
of our own heart far better than do we know it ourselves. (Funeral guest
book posting for Cindy Ann Marcotte Gates).
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 reactions 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.
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 Gdel-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 Gdel-numbering, can only be
realized within a system that possesses 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. http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/content-externalism/ 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 20th/early 21st 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 consciousnesss. 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.
We should try to distinguish internally versus externally entangled
quantum states, especially with regard to the problems of decoherence
and wavefunction collapse.
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 backreact 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, e.g., a mixture of quantum states or quantum
superposition, the Heisenberg uncertainty of a given quantum state or
mixture, etc. when it was then present and which until the present
moment remains indeterminate this can be changed retroactively in the
sense of rendered more determinate in the past . . . by an act undertaken
*now*. The temporality of the indeterminate (again in the sense of
fundamental quantum mechanical uncertainty) cannot be mapped or
traced along the time axis of determinate, public or intersubjective
temporality, but makes contact with and intersects it through the
function of direct intuition, i.e., the intuition of the passage of time. In
other words, what happens in Vagueness, does not necessarily remain in
Vagueness.

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 1st 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 3momentum 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 3hypersurface. 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 consciousnesss.
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 consciousnesss, 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 consciousnesss.
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 2nd (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 consciousnesss, transcendent entities.
The quantum vacuum is constantly engaged in a chaotic activity of selfmeasurement with these acts of self measurement being themselves
caught up in further acts of self measurement.
Within this selfmeasurement 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 shorthandencoded 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 2014
Language is a system which enables the piecing together of the shattered
hologram of the other's thought. The shattering occurs whenever thought
is first put into words.

One bit of physiological evidence for Sheldrakes 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 away, have the ability to
reengage each other, growing together once more as if guided
teleologically by the abiding presence of a ghostly template of those
formerly networked neural interconnections.
May 2011

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, Jtot = Ltot + Stot with Ltot
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.

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

necessary to attempt simultaneous translation. The same is true for

becomes free of the necessity of translating ones thoughts into words

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.

Compare the metaphysics of the Many Worlds Interpretation of
quantum theory with a Many Consciousnesss 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 consciousnesss. Such a higher order of consciousness would

possess the ability to track changes to itself that involve its undergoing a
division.

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

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

It is an example of a kind of pipe dream with smokeless tobacco and no

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

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 transdeterminate 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

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

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.

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).

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.

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.
The timelessness or near timelessness of certain works of art or more

supposed ineluctable forward march of reason in the guise of
technological progress.
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.

which the individual is meant to build his own edifice of thought only

then kicking away the superstructure of this scaffolding.

one might most quickly more fully participate in ones transcendent to

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?

Application of less than clearly and completely defined concepts and

The three persons: the Self, the Other, the other of the Other,
corresponding to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, persons. Also, there are the
obvious permutations of persons from the perspective of persons, i.e.,
1st-1st, 1st-2nd, . . . 2nd 1st, . . . 3rd 3rd. And, of course, these
interpersonal perspectives may themselves have a 1 st, 2nd, 3rd person
perspective. But notice that the permutation of personal perspective
involving the 2nd and 3rd persons, exclusively involving the 2nd and 3rd
persons, exclusively are subsumed into the 1st person perspective at the
next higher level.
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 consciousnessmechanism 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 consciousnesss 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 selfinterest.
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 consciousnesss.
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 interconsciousness 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
of 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 in relation to the
competition posed by the other species of the planet with whom we have
been forced to share limited, locally available resources. One should
note here the vast chasm separating human intelligence from that of its
closest, most challenging competitor species. April 2011 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. December 8, 2012 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 the expansion of an
otherwise too limited genetic diversity brought about by the evolutionary
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 selfknowledge 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 selflimitation 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 an 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 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. September 2011 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., cit=The Zero Ontology

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. September 2011 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.

I found it interesting how the producer of the 2012 show, cit=Nasa

360 shows the bloopers from each episode during the final minute of
that episode. The subtext of this practice is perhaps a kind of antiRandian message that it is not the greatness of the individual, but the
greatness of the collaboration of inviduals with diverse talents, abilities
and flaws that produces, collectively a great and informative science
show.

When a fellow human being is not in emotional control of

themselves, does one take pains to treat the person compassionately or
blame the hapless soul for this lack of control, wash ones hands of
responsibility for the person as an end in themselves, only willing to

revisit the persons status as such once their behavior comes back into
line with civilized expectations?

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 selforganizational 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 realityfiltering 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.
Infants' brains are primed to pick up the language of their parents. But a
newstudy suggests that those early impressions of language are much
more durable than scientists predicted. For example, Chinese adoptees
living in Canada, who now speak only French, still process Chinese
sounds as native speakers do, even if they have no conscious recall of
word meaning. Study author au=Fred Genesee of McGill University in
Montreal discusses the findings, out this week in Proceedings of the
National Academy of Sciences, and what they might mean for language
learning.
See http://www.sciencefriday.com/segment/11/21/2014/ghosts-of-earlylanguage-may-linger-in-the-brain.html Young adults who were adopted
by French Canadian families from their native China before the age of
two, had utterly forgotten their native tongue, but were found to continue
to process heard Chinese speech as a linguistic unit) within their left
hemispheres instead of in the right hemisphere as did non-Chinese
listeners. Does this point up the importance of the notion that, its in the
input, or does this merely point up the presence of specialized functions
and modules within the brain?
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. The unity of mathematics lies outside the realm
of mathematical description. There is more to reality than mathematics.
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.
September 2011

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 BelMarduk, 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 openended 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, LArginine 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 themselves.
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 openended 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 inprogram 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 phylogenies, c.f., Genome Reseach 5 (1998): pp.
118-123. web= (http://www.arn.org/doces/odesign/od192/ls192.htm)
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.
Passive aggressive formulations motivated by projections (from old
subjects, onto new ones), what might be termed metaphysical
perception.
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, objectoriented 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 consciousnesss
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 dimension are surely at work. But if these
context are purely constructive than whence arises their substance?
Normality and naturalness of the human visage as the prime index of
what Deridda terms presence. The sense of presence is disrupted
when the subjects personality becomes dissociated.
SonicNet2 only loads those elements from the Internet not already stored
locally. So only change 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.
Subjective music categories by phase within ones

Meme theory as an important aid in deconstructing metaphysical
presence; is meme theory adequate for deconstructing really holistic
entities? And are all such entities merely kwd=reifications?
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 anything. 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 guiding 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)
given what we already know about such implications of a theistically-

based created order?

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.?
Perhaps the transient tension in the coiling of circumstances has

Here we have the notion of internal versus external distincguishability.
If the consciousness of the invidual is truly unitary, then there seems no

Do the objects of the imagination ever acquire any kind of independent,
mental existence, over and above that of the conditions within the mind
that originally produced them?
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

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 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.
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 consciousnesss, 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.
Each person possesses an ineradicable, organic defect in his personality.
This defect is almost exactly analogous to the blind spot of the retina

The essence (or substance) of consciousness is metaphor.
The
application of conscious, i.e., will, is free because there can be no rule or

the person finds himself.

Is all differentiation just the splitting, i.e., breaking of degeneracys

As the mind evolves its internal symmetry (and hence, order) grows

You cant hold water during the spin cycle.

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 will becomes reduced to an abstract category
subsuming all possible instances in which 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 some 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 selfinterest. January 2013 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 for producing my particular, allegedly unique,

Contrast the convergence of phenomenon of a certain type within a

C. S. Lewis has said that good succeeds in being good with far greater

just goodness perverted.
Being vs. existence contrasted with the duality. Ought vs. should.
Perhaps the phenomenon of conscience is just as inherently mysterious

Parallel to the above distinctions of

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.

C.f., @ page 51 of black sketchbook for diagrams of two contrasts of

actual theory versus proposed new theory.

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 ultimate
reality.
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 consciousnesss 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

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 selfconsciousness is a structuring of?
epi=

Essence is partly comprised of (historical) origin, substance and

continuity, none of which can hardly be submitted to a 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

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

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

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

Can a criminal human person be both unfortunate victim of society on

Imagine a stick figure theater production about an unloved stick figure

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

reduce our feelings of compassion for members of the downtrodden,

Attacking the genealogy of an idea in terms of previous religious or

answer appropriate to the value judgement of B made by A. Now A

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

Data processing based on quantum tunneling should not interfere with
the execution of the brains commands to contract this or that collection

There is nothing elsewhere in the brain, in the sense of classical force or

On the logarithmic scale of brain processing power there is hardly any
measurable difference/ quantitatively between the thought processes of a

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

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

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 (geneticallyprogrammed?) 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 reaveraging 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

experience that build up of suspense! Few pieces of fiction really
deliver on their promises because plot resolution is a left-brain thing (a

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.

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

physical embodiment, if you will, of this information. Also, the
referent(s) of information may (and usually do) contain information

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

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.

The presence of the human form and

suppresses with the label, schizoid, schizophrenic, schizophreniform,

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.

offensive to us "dinosaurs" who, even as adults, predate the Internet,

Robust cohesiveness of a dynamic system depends on overdetermination

Of course, the phenotype is capable of focusing and filtering

and language started from the outside and work their way inside

We so fluently speak with our native tongue that we are normally quite

Consciousness is radically free if essence is but a projection of this

Creation, if it is to live up to the essential meaning of the word, must
always begin as something, though integrally whole, is nonetheless

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

Transformation of newly invented (as opposed to stock) metaphors

The distinction of aliens-disguised-as-humans vs. humans is transformed
and taken up into, or modulated by, the so-called entity theory (of
personal identity) as a result of our recasting this duality into a form

recognition, etc.). rsc+Entity theory, so-called is actually prefigured in
many gnostic writings as well as constituting a central metaphysical
dogma of Scientology.
Setting impenetrable boundaries for ourselves helps to strengthen the

How does God know that there is not secretly some meta-God above
him who remains silent and uninvolved, permitting God to believe that
he is the master of Being? May 2011 @$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, meaning-giving metaphors/narratives may be chosen at a
stage when they are virtually arbitrary, but upon their dissemination and
adaptive radiation and incorporation into the fabric of the culture, these

It is likely that, on Chomskian principles of the brains specialization,
that each person goes through life not knowing some otherwise simple

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.

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

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. May 2011 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

@$

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. Redefinitions like this are deceptive
in the sense of being expedient, rhetorical manipulations where a
metaphorical referent is deftly substituted for the genuine article a
tactic, we might have observed, that is more and more commonly used
nowadays for political or propagandistic purposes. What permits such
definitions to become accepted, with surprising swiftness, I might add, 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 fullblooded, traditional sense of the term) strongly tend toward the same or
similar priorities, even if this is just the family unit itself or its members.
The redefinition of family above has simply replaced family as the focus
of family-hood with some other thing or activity, say science fiction
fandom (each can cite one's own example). And so the redefinition here
has simply taken what was common to family all along, but which had
been in the background, and brought this aspect to the forefront and
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 much of this valuable stock, shifting as much of it as
possible, gradually 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.

If a man makes it to age 40 without having married, chances are that

Bachelor Manifesto

If a man reaches 40 never having married, chances are he shall remain a

bachelor for all his life. Besides having got through being goaded by
selfish nature against ones better judgment to take up with a likely
unsuitable life partner, the mature bachelor, if fortunate to possess
substantial sex and relationship experience, finds he has much to fear
from the critical expectations of the mature woman. This however is
with good reason. The mature bachelor imagines the settling down with
any woman near his own age shall likely mean paying in one fashion or
other for the sins of the no small number of rascals who preceded him in
undeservedly capturing the affections of this his once youthful would-be
companion. Moreover he now suspects that the old gamble for blissful
marital happiness is borne of the craftiest of illusions, ones surely
enough cosseted in youth, but which at this late stage shall surely run
afoul, transforming a hard won though lonely freedom into an
oppressive and harried existence within an untenable couple. Somehow
most of us that ended up married with offspring were once motivated, if
only half-consciously by the speculative view that ones ultimate fate in
life shall be easier to bear if it is firmly and indissolubly conjoined to
that of another. The reason so few otherwise intelligent suitors discover
this fallacy in time is that it really takes two lifetimes (or a few moments
of thoughtful reflection) to realize it. Now it is human nature to suppose
that if you get a thing wrong on the first try, you must correct the initial
error and do the very same thing again, only the right way this time. For
my part, the proper course has not been to try the thing in the first place.
It is true it is better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all,
but who ever said one couldnt try at love outside of the institution of
marriage - some Neolithic human whose natural political instincts
prompted him to suppose he might opt for a better and more profitable
set of relatives than those he received at birth? This then is the second
big mistake that bachelorhood handily avoids!
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.

Active political repression creates far more undesirable political

Historical/evolutionary versus simultaneous/comparative understanding
of place, events, culture, etc. Level of judgment beyond what could

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 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
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/judgment 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 archaic syntax into a modern one?
Belief in an all-powerful and benevolent creator is conspiracy theory
turned on its head in Biblical Christianity, for example, the conspiracy
is for rather than against each discoverer of the conspiracy.
The problem with some writers is that the urge to have something to say

Does energy exchange with the quantum vacuum decrease the rate (or

Without the capacity of consciousness for detaching us from the
immediacy of being the particular creature that we are, it should be
impossible for us to glimpse a general human nature working through
our being and then in turn perceiving the remainder which is the unique
(non human) self.
It is only relative to a set of practices that is accepted, positively

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 no 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.

That empty substance reified into something fuller of near complete

We speak of how luck it is (providential is the word that is sometimes
used) that contain limitations that we observe operating (at the particular
spacetime scale that we happen to inhabit) are not still greater so that
certain functions that we are able (in fact, have evolved to perform or
developed the capacity for through cultural evolution, e.g., technology,
say) to perform, but with some difficulty, happen not to be impossible,
e.g., travel at reasonable speeds on the ground through viscous air, travel
on air, i.e., via flying machines.
The two schools on this is the functions that are not possible in this

independent action of imagination, can prepare the ground for the
emergence of new possibilities.
Things to endeavor to do that are truly beyond our capabilities, we have
no hope of imagining doing and this helps foster the mistaken piece of
circular, question-begging logic of discussions of Mans capabilities:
anything that is conceivable is possible, anything that is possible can be
done (eventually), anything that can be done (that Man proposes to do)
Man will do. . .
But the enthusiasm that accompanies this logic has usually seen to it that
the 1st premise has been secretly replaced with the starkly unwarranted

assumption that, Anything that is possible is conceivable.

characters), etc.
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-theoristexperimenter 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
incommensurate, i.e., dialectic is the means by which the rational
enlarges itself.
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, borrowing somewhat from Derrida, as the alwaysalreadiness of historical novelty?
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 of (self) measurement.
A Perfect Vacuum, The New Cosmogony, points up the blurred
distinction between theory (description) versus blueprint (program of
application).

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 19th century novel or from those more serious
science fiction writers of the middle years of the 20th 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 marketworthy 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
measurement (QM) problem is perhaps only an artifice for providing a
more succinct way of understanding the dynamics of QM implemented
by a conscious observer, @$similar, say, to the solving of AC circuit
problems through the use of complex variables.
Viral meme tagging as a technique for tracing out information circuits
for purposes, say, of determining the presence and extent of
communication between seemingly disjoint social circles.
If consciousness is able to truly split, then degenerate continuity of
consciousness is implied with this degeneracy only being removed ( and
the continuity of the real self) grounded through the introduction of a
notion of some kind of superconsciousness.

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 simultaneity
within an open system.

Consciousness is not indifferent to the passage of experience through it.

Consciousness is not merely a passive projection medium for the display
of experience. We speak of sensations or perceptions registering or
not.

Why are humans so confused? Its because human intelligence, that is,

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

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

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 selfdetermination 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 than provisional or heuristic concepts, given the
ubiquitous availability of feedback? But can metaconcepts nevertheless
be determinate?
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 mimetic evolution. Urban legends,
which grow in the retelling, seemingly in accordance with 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). . .
Page and his team speculate that the loss of genes on the
chimpanzee Y may be due to the chimp's mating habits. Both male and
female chimps engage with multiple partners when they mate. This gives
a strong selective pressure on those genes that produce sperm.
Conversely, it puts less pressure on evolution to preserve those genes on
the Y whose functions have nothing to do with reproduction. Because
humans historically have been largely monogamous, our Y
chromosomes have been spared such selective-pressure imbalance, c.f.,

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 selforganizing 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. December 2012 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). February 2013 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 genomeribosome 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 Gdels Incompleteness Theorem. The Intelligible
versus The Rational . . . these two are usually equated, but such an
equation (or inequality for that matter) between these two points up the
tautologous nature of transcendent intellect (even without a Platonic set
of intelligible forms).

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.

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.

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). (November 2013 So perhaps there is something like protoinformation, apart from mere data, that is conserved.) 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 subset of Boltzmann brains?
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 backengineering 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 or 3rd person
party says must be enclosed in quotations, e.g., I exist while what a 1st
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?

From Todd my young friend... 'Just read that article on the doctor

store typically larger data. Would be interesting to explore if the brain
really worked like that.
The observation that ambient photons within the laboratory should not
be able to trigger the collapse of a superposition state certainly applies to
the case of the two slit experiment performed using buckyballs.
Nevertheless an observer can use photon radiation of precisely the same
momentum energy and polarization in order to observe which slit the
buckyball went through which does succeed in collapsing the
interference pattern. This is true even though the very same types of
photons existed amongst the ambient radiation with in the laboratory
when the observer was not looking at the slits to see which slit each
buckyball went through and this ambient photon radiation in the
laboratory does not succeed in causing the interference pattern to
collapse apparently the observer makes the difference not the physical
interaction of photons with the buckyballs say through ollisions.
In other words if the observer is not watching which slit the buckyball
goes through and just looks at the phosphorescence screen for the
presence or absence of an interference pattern then he cannot rely on the
presence of ambient proton radiation of identical character to that which
would have been required to observe which slit the buckyballs goes
through in order to produce collapse of the interference pattern with the
exhibition of particle-like behavior on the part of the buckyballs. So it
does not appear that a physical interaction is responsible for collapse of
the interference pattern but rather the presence of the observer looking at
the slits.

upward just consider the case first considered by Darwin himself of

bears in the current environment of the modified species and how the
newer or modified species would merge victorious rendering the
extinction of the order forms from which they are derived and now
having said this consider someone to reverse case where the newer or
modified forms of the older species are placed in the folder species
contemporary environment and allowed to compete with him there here
the advantage would not be so clear of the newer forms over the older
ancestral forms because of the consideration of coevolution and ecology.

That an individual consciousness' apparent peers are

intelligent is more a testament to the ultra-high fine tuning of that
individual mind's consciousness than it is to the fine tuning of the brains
of those peers. Note here that we are relating the fine tuning of
consciousness with fine tuning of brains.
The paradox is how an atheist who considers himself moral and ethical
might answer this dilemma vs. how a Christian theist who also considers
himself moral and ethical might answer this same dilemma.
The belief in a supreme intelligence or at the very least in a 'cosmic
programmer' of the universe somewhat akin to George Lucas' 'The
Force' may continue among the relatively uneducated classes for many
generations. Strangely, there will be a rise in the belief in both

epistemological solipsism as well as poly-metaphysical solipsism, i. e.,

the belief that the universe is a collaboration and sociolinguistic
construct of myriad individual consciousnesss.
The deepening
realization that there is no evidence for ET's will begin to reinforce the
idea that we are members of an at least billion year old civilization living
within an 'ancestor simulation'. Philosophers and cosmologists as well
as some physicists as well as a goodly number of philosophy-educated
people of the not so distant future will take it for granted that the
probability of universe-simulacra, for example, Boltzmann brains, et al.,
greatly outstrip the probability of so-called 'real' universes. Which
realization is natural in light of the compelling logic of the anthropic
principle?

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 significance in Gods Word, moreover,

humankind should have never had any reason for conceiving of the very
notion of God in the first instance.
Had all humans been born with dark-lensed, designer sunglasses
permanently affixed to their faces, would romantic poets have lamented,
would that my love was possessed of limpid pools for eyes so that I
might glimpse the depths of her impassioned soul? Would this concept
be the same would it be different in a referenceable way? The
imagination can encompass difference from 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 theory, i.e., perturbation theory, where one
makes a few simplifying assumptions, reducing the complexity of a
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, metaparadigmatic, and so on.
Narration is the substance of myth and the ego is the central and

Kants Critique of Pure Reason is another example of what we term the

Ourobouros principle of foundation criticism, e.g., Popper, Skinner,
Darwin, Sartre, Gdel, etc. The Ourobouros was for good reason the

consciousness.

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

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 society-self; society is composed of individuals who are
manifestations and projections of the self-society. 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

(The symbol here acts as the locus of a palimpsest of successive
determinations of its multiple acceptations) Some unorthodox religious

What is the parallel, if any, between the Sefirot of Kabbalah and the
Names of God in Sufi mysticism?
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). June 2011 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. 1 through relating itself to in its grappling with the other.
God could not create Evil any more than Man can create Good. Why

this question is equally valid for everyone who might ask it, render this
question any more meaningless? What ontological status is implicitly
accorded this world if we deem valueless, possibilities, which therefore

This is so only

if Being is rational, i.e., complete as a formal system of relations, without residue or remainder, which is to say
without kernel.

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 cognitive and attention
psychology, and perhaps reflects the manner in which human beings
attend to and categorize new experiences more than it does the nature of
reality informing the world 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?

It took just a couple of seconds as a dynamic an chaotic flux of thought
was converted, through the sudden pumping up of tiny electric and
magnetic fields of just as myriad and tiny stray capacitances and
inductances of billions of gray cells, all acting in mysterious concert
now, if what each had been doing just instants before was to have been

action just as much was its dual consciousness in its first concerning the

Is there always some systematic coinage of compound terms formed
from simple relation terms that succeeds in covering, in both a
complete and consistent manner, but without generating
superfluous, empty categories (uninstantiable, useless compound

The most compelling work of scholarship must convince prospective
critics that its thesis was all but already articulated, short of the actions
of the particular scholar in bringing to light or establishing key
remaining links in the literature of his subject, which thereby

demonstrate the secret inherence of the thesis in the body of work

researched.
Feynmans 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 interface device (brain) operates within a
narrowly enough defined spectrum of vacuum electromagnetic field
modes so that for all practical purposes (from an evolutionary
standpoint, say) cross talk between licensed frequencies seldom
occurs?
Impulses of the survival mode, e.g., competition for scarce, lifesustaining 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 huntergatherer 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 space and time, within the microcosm,
e.g., orderliness, order, timing, planning, subtlety, etc. 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
creative organism and not the other way around? In other words, what
basis have we for 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 of language as the restoration of local
symmetry to the consciousness field. The breaking of a symmetry
involves the loss of conversation of some substance and is the breaking
into the system of the indeterminate with respect to the quantum the
conservation of which has now been lost. In this way the system comes
into interaction with respect to variables previously fixed.
How is the myth of the remaining crucial element of some newlyrestored system of ancient occult knowledge relevant to the paradigm of

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 patsounding 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, huntergatherers, 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.

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 consciousness upon the dynamism
of the interaction of his will with the information by the collective upon
this same dynamic. Does a finite time span of consciousness imply that
all its structures are formed of standing waves?

Mutual gene therapy as the literal fulfillment of becoming one flesh.
The means by which the literal implementation of the erstwhile merely

significance.
The transformation of the metaphorical into a form of its literal acting

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.

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 64th hexagram.

its interpretation?

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

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

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

Sometimes the answer to a question is yes and no. Some either/or

Only on the assumption of a corresponding theory of truth does a truth

Any truth claim can be surmounted by an adequately subtle and
extended (over time) shifts in consciousness. All logical arguments

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.

character strengths as crippling limitations. Another views one persons
philosophy as rationalization for failure while the philosophy of the first

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 20th 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 selffulfilling 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

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.

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

unities.
We always assumed that our personal experience possess a validity more

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 backreacts 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

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 life) are brought

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 selfinteraction 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 selflimitation 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. C.f., the ship of Theseus, the golden thread in the Labyrinth.
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

versus dynamisms to space versus time to momentum versus energy?

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. The successive
splitting of degeneracies pertaining to a single moment in the sense of
staggered over time, multiple historical interpretations is exclusively a

function of the mind of individual historians.

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 consciousnesss. 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 voc=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.

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

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

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 traveler thing to say I imagine an SF story in which
the protagonist encounters a time traveler 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
travelers a trend the seeds of which were perhaps first planted by H. G.
Wells in his seminal SF work, The Time Machine, whose protagonist
19th Century Philosopher-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

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

The pluralist world of Platos ideas is not timeless but these ideas are

But how to reconcile notions of absolute, infinity,

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, evolutionaryadvantageous 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

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

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

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 causaldeterministic?
The analogous relatedness of the plurality of individual subjectivities,
i.e., consciousnesss, implies a copresence to an impersonal

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 consciousnesss. 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

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 2nd 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 begun in English into the target 2 nd
language.
Apparently the faculties of language composition and
comprehension are distinct in their operation, c.f., contrast between

Fractal vowel sounds of the French language versus pure vowel sounds

This observation also applies to the tonal

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?

Would we deny to Nature herself the very limited creativity that we
possess and to whom we ultimately owe this wondrous faculty? Yes
and No in different acceptations of the duality of affirmative versus
negative. Yes. Human creativity is an emergent phenomenon quite
unanticipated by the natural order as it existed prior to the evolution of
human beings, which 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
heretofore latent within some metaphysical darkness. @$Here we have
not existence as a manifestation of essence, but the existential converse

The concentration of many determinations [Marx] cannot be
effected by a unified and single act of determination. In other words,
the steps in the process of evolution, whether of technology, or of
biological systems, are not secretly superfluous. Single acts of
determination are what we might call unimodal while the steps in an
evolutionary series involve the mutual or successive action of
incommensurable, multiple modes or modalities. @$Only ex post facto
does consciousness view the evolutionary process as unified or,
unimodal.

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 and error as well as tinkering possess not only the
usual empiricist interpretation, but a rationalist interpretation as well
with equal or perhaps greater claim to be substantively involved with the
process of technologys and cultures evolution.

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

Speed entertained within the imagination is just a metaphor.

A
metaphor, perhaps, for a kind of transcendence.
We might call
transcendence a case of invention of a metaphor for which there is no
experiential context intimations of a world beyond the appearances
through convergence of transposed (or inverse) metaphors. This is an
important mechanism to be noted when one is 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

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

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 deconstruction of
metaphysics, if successful would result in its destruction, which would
lead to the collapse of the distinction between metaphysical,
epistemological and methodological solipsism, c.f., cit=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 seemingly fanciful
conceptions is what Derrida terms always alreadiness.

If I were going to be a good solipsist, I would make sure to

The field of the sociology of knowledge may turn out to be just as
important for the so-called hard sciences as for the social sciences and

Superpositions of information, meaning, alternative statements of

Complementary to the process of thought, i.e., abstraction is the process
of concretion of detail in systems, which are the physical realizations of

some abstract design.
An example of this is the emergence
phenomenon of the appearance of bugs in large, complex computer
programs. 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 2nd 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.

One simple point rehearsed in Part 6 is that all physical

objects are literally processes, even ifor even thoughnot all
processes are objects. If its a category mistake to say that things are
processes, dont blame me; blame the collision of ordinary thought and
language with the world. Another simple point is that the most basic
acquaintance with physics shows physical objectsfrom stones to
brainsto be almost inconceivably insubstantial relative to our
everyday conception of them, mere collocations of patterns of energy,
fabulously diaphanous process entities whose existence involves a
constant interchange with the quantum vacuum, given which it is
literally correct to say that theyre partly constituted by the vacuum (see
e.g. 6.9). This is a fact about the world that its very useful to bear in
mind, both when we ask whether selves exist and are objects and in
many other philosophical contexts, c.f., P. F. Strawsons Self.

The generation of new ideas always involves the transformation of old
knowledge and established concepts as they are gradually or suddenly

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

Consciousness is characterized by an ability to participate in the 2nd and

Certainly, many forms of
psychological and behavioral/motivational deviance are insupportable in
the absence of a ghost in the machine. Narcissistic and necrophilic

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 metaphors.

We avoid people who tend to disconfirm our theories about how life

Institutions or structure which threaten our worldview are
viewed as manifestations of the irrational and we carefully wend our

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

Instead of the usual dichotomy of performers versus spectators which

describes the two basic categories of how persons go about their lives, I
have settled upon a somewhat different dichotomy, that of perpetrators
versus detectives. Whereas in terms of the former dichotomy I should
have been forced to categorize myself as a mere spectator, in terms of
this new complementary set of categories, I can proudly style myself as
detective in the game of life. Perhaps not always so exciting a career as
being one of the more active perpetrators, for those of (pay close
attention here) the appropriate intellectual temperament, this career
holds high moments to which nothing in the more active life career
could ever be adequately comparable.

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 3momentum 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.

Ground state is the basis of the continuity of change of all that which is

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."

/\Pi x c = /\E is associated with spacelike momentum fluctuations within

Changes in the circulation and flow of energy within the crystal requires

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

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.

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

Is
momentum conservation regained in this manner? Is there a recoil

The 100 GeV energy cutoff for vacuum fluctuations may be due to a

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

The anomalous gravitational component experienced by pioneer (and

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

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

The excluded vacuum energy transitions define the new momentum

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.

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 nonlocallyconnected 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

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

in the Copenhagen Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics.

If the momentum-energy fluctuations drive the fluctuations in particle

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,

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 consciousnesss, 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 (entropyladen) 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

Possibility and actuality evolve in unison how could they not, if they

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

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

conditions are applied, say, those posed by bound systems of real
fermions?

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

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.

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-msec**-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. 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?

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.

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.
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

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

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

Dasein is the uniquely human aspect of human Being which cannot be

not exist.
Intimacy has been almost wholly converted into sexuality or a way of

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.

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.

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.

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

The argument against personal immortality is frequently based upon the
distinction between mnemonic versus bodily continuity in which it is

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

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 openended ground of coherent, convergent activity. If this connection is

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. January 2012 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).

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

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 backreaction 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

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.
Gdels 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 Gdel 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 consciousnesss 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
consciousnesss merely particular modifications of some general or
universal consciousness as such.
There is not actual, substantial quality, common to all individual
consciousnesss 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 consciousnesss 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.

Nonlocality and binding of conscious mental states. Somehow the

merely by being passively aware of his own mental states.
Observer and observed are always characterized by commuting
observables. Every measurement that the observer seeks to perform

with the observables of the eigenstate that the observed mind as a
quantum mechanical system has already been prepared in.

No temporality in the production of conscious mental states if a
deterministic connection between input and output of the system of the
mind is assumed. Here we see that the action of Derridas concept of
deferance, i.e., both difference and deferment is necessary to the
production of meaning and perception.
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

Qualitative changes would take place from within the systems
framework of description. Not so for qualitative changes which stem

within all of the localities 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., cit=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.

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

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 +

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

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 consciousnesss
are reducible/analyzable, then no Gods eye view of reality is possible.
Given the omniscience of God, this would imply a non-unified reality.

subjectivity. In India the Sankya philosophy of the Many fought 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

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 the use/mention distinction? Only deterministic
causal functions may denote. This is a paradox of denotation.

Genetic dust bin theory of aging is the theory that natural selection only
applies to the fitness of the genome during pre-reproductive and
reproductive years. Genes that are switched on or expressed during
the post-reproductive part of the species life span can never be culled out
of the gene pool through natural selection. Certainly genes which only

express themselves after the end of the reproductive years plus the
maturation of time of the youngest individuals in total contribution of
offspring can have little or no effect upon the fitness/survivability of
those offspring.

Freud said that culture was a manifestation of the sublimation of

frustrated sexual impulses. Philosophy is maintaining idealism in the
face of disillusionment. It is also itself a kind of sublimation which of
frustrated impulses to counter various affronts and insults to the ego.
What is quite puzzling about what is called discourse is that, unlike in
the cases of language, logic, mathematics, etc., i.e., metalanguage,
metalogic, metamathematics, etc., there does not seem to be any means
of grounding the concept of metadiscourse.
When two subjects encounter, perceive and converse with one another
concerning this object encountered in common, what each speaks
concerning it is ones own successful partial efforts in constituting the
object, i.e., that which is in harmony, not with the object per se, but with
other constitutive forces by which the object is being sustained as such.
All unsuccessful attempts at 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 appealed to.
Modularity and holism must merely be modes between which a control
system selects, in the case of truly flexible cybernetic or adaptive
biological systems.
Naturally such a control system will defy the
categorical distinction of modular versus holistic.
The higher the gene in the gene regulatory network (GRN), the more

likely and the greater degree to which this gene acts as a two-way
interface between the genome and the environment. The 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.

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

understood in terms of the metaphor of the silencing of thought by the

without an Interworld being given. Merleau-Ponty thought that the
absence of an interworld would lead to solipsism. 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.

Carl Sagan, are engaged in a projection of a modern poetic metaphor
onto the consciousness of primitive peoples. The moon allegedly led

late historicity are frequently seized upon in order to explicate the
motivations and perceptions of ancient or primitive peoples. On the

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.

An idiom may be thought of as a latent metaphor

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.
A mass moves as though it has a conserved four-momentum within a

Logocentrism and the kingdom of ends. Kwd=reification of instinct and

cannot be identical with itself because it has not identity. But a unified
open system has an identity. Arbitrary symbols do not back react upon
the messages of which their strings are arbitrary expressions. Much
insight is admittedly the discovery of relationships of ideas buried deep
within the semantic/syntactic structure of language. Latent complexes
of meaning and logic may not mediate seemingly ordinary
communications, complexes which have never been abstracted or
"brought to light.
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

The

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 inter-dealings 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. @$Other seeming coincidences or degeneracies of
language and linguistic practice, if recurrent and pervasive, are not to be
explained away as accidental. Besides, such a notion of the complete
arbitrariness of symbols leaves no place for will within the truth project.
Part of the collective negotiation toward truth is direct interaction in the
form of grappling, pushing, pulling, yielding and relenting of wills rather
than the transmission of data and the invoking of information. The point
here is that there is always a certain amount of this collective grappling
of wills upon one another which takes place within even the most
routine or ordinary types of conversation, which then cannot be viewed
simply as ordinary, culture-specific exchanges of information.
What is all of this aiming at you might ask? Well, it is a notion which is
perhaps formally akin to but contrary in spirit to Derridas notion of the
medium of language being less than transparent a medium for the
transmission of meaning. My impulse to juxtapose and comment upon
the excerpted text above was the burgeoning notion that language is just
as much a reactive and amplifying medium as it is a refractive and
dissipating medium. The notion of meaning amplification is certainly
intriguing. It is akin to image or pattern recognition and enhancement.
Meaning can be amplified, filtered, concentrated, etc. through the action
of its transmission medium. (Can two independent noise streams
interfere in such as manner as to enhance kwd=specified complexity?)
@$
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.

Logic is the

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.

Duality is never a simple single level structure but is fractal and

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

Clearly it is the genes themselves and not their combinations which

are selected for. This is because only an infinitesimal fraction of all

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.

metaphorical sense)
That which has the greatest presence is that of which we have heard the

Evolution explains change, but not stability, which is owing to the

chemical and physical properties of DNA, more generally, the selforganizing 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 and behavior on the one hand and
language and mathematics on the other suggests that the same
underlying matrix organizes all three.

An important difference exists between dialogue between two persons

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 consciousnesss
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. April 2013 cit=Isaac Luria propounded the doctrine of the Tzimtzum,

(meaning alternatively: "Contraction/Concealment/Condensation/Concentration"),

the primordial Self-Withdrawal of Divinity to "make space" for subsequent
Creation. This reconciles the Infiniteness of God with finite Creation, preventing
created realms from being nullified into non-existence within their source of
vitality,

Epigram: Myth comprises analogies of transhistorical historicity in
which timeless elements of human nature work out their temporal

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 consciousness in the absence of the maintenance of
crucial continuity.
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

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.
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 in Fromms sense of the necrophilous character. As
progressively more advanced surveillance technology becomes widely
available to the average person, uncreative, powerless, and neurotic
types will be in a newly ideal position to discredit all those for whom
they harbor a smoldering jealousy and resentment. Humans of normal or
above average intelligence are easily bored with almost anything
repetitive. The repetitiveness, easy predictability, and transparency of
acts of the narcissistic imagination, however and the fact that, after years
on end, one never seems to grow weary of their endless replaying,
strongly suggests that it is not the whole person in Jungs sense, but a
very small-souled, petty and mean-spirited component of the human
psyche, which tirelessly luxuriates in this series of vignettes, this 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 one is the
more intimately private mystery of ones personal existence not the
mystery of objective existence. The answer to the objective mystery, if
you will, is out there although humankind or even its more gifted
descendants may indeed never succeed in divining it. Though it may be
any number of brilliant individuals who are born within the next
thousand years, say, who shall have an equal chance, if talent alone
suffices, to discover it. @$However, 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. In other words, it is not by virtue of ones identity
instantiating some general concept, category or class that one has come
to be or is who one is. It is at this point that one is faced with the real
and possibly disturbing implications of the uniqueness of ones being. If
the crux of ones personal identity is truly eternal, then the basis of ones
identity would simply be a kind of continuity of some monadic
substance wherein temporal continuity is only one among multiple
aspects.
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.
October 2014

What defines the domain that provides the bound for N in the
square root 1/N typical magnitude for a fluctuation about the system
mean? There must be a system dynamics in terms of which is effected
the partitioning of the system into sqrt[1/N] domains? This dynamics is
usually composed of all of the degrees of freedom available to the
system with which momentum and energy may be exchanged within its

bulk. However, the holographic entropy principle greatly complicates

this. Entropy and disorder to not precisely mirror each other on account
of the effects of gravity, c.f., au=From Eternity to Here by Sean Carroll.

Further evidence that churches are houses of spiritual complacency:

all one has to do is attend any Christian church and listen to the
preacher's opening prayer. How passionate is he in the delivery of this
prayer? Does the preacher look up to heaven? What are his mannerisms,
gesticulations and facial expressions evident during the delivery of the
prayer? Does his body language conspire to signify great humility, great
love and great joy? Usually it patently does not, and this is the perfect
indicator that the preacher, deep in his inner being does not really
believe what he preaches; he does not really believe the wonderful
promises that have been made to him and all Christians in God's word.
On the other hand, if he makes a convincing display as a petitioner,
humble before his Creator, wouldnt what we know in our hearts about
human hollowness and superficiality cause us to suspect facticity in the
great majority of cases? 011214
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.
children have very little context for interpreting representations.

Small

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

Is there a type of mis-reaching or

misunderstand of material for which there is no possible check, i.e.,

Think of all particles being excitations of the vacuum according to an

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?

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

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

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

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 languageboundedness) 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

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

Perceptron projects a series expansion based upon an iteratively

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

Bakhtins concept of ideas as living entities is alluded to in his Problems
of Dostoevskys Poetics. Metaphor constitutes the dialogic essence of

It is possible for the course of development of the individual to be
altered by circumstance because myriad and in fact unlimited distinct

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.

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

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

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.

Maturity is reached earlier in less

can be in more advanced and affluent cultures. Our judgements 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. Also, the
El Greco fallacy must play an important role in this discussion.

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

laws of consciousness.
New interpersonal languages are constructed through a collective,

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

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?

One indeterminate ground connects to another through elaboration and

individual consciousness. July 2011 Does the so-called decoherence limit
act as a boundary between not only the quantum and classical worlds,

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19416881

Solvation involves different types of intermolecular interactions:

hydrogen bonding, ion-dipole, and dipole-dipole attractions or van der
Waals forces. The hydrogen bonding, ion-dipole, and dipole-dipole
interactions occur only in polar solvents. Ion-ion interactions occur only
in ionic solvents. The solvation process will be thermodynamically
favored only if the overall Gibbs energy of the solution is decreased,
compared to the Gibbs energy of the separated solvent and solid (or gas
or liquid). This means that the change in enthalpy minus the change in
entropy (multiplied by the absolute temperature) is a negative value, or
that the Gibbs free energy of the system decreases. The conductivity of a
solution depends on the solvation of its ions. Hydration also affects
electronic and vibrational properties of biomolecules.

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

Eigenstate of the unbound vacuum is a kind of quantum mechanical

confusing a desire to visit with a desire to live in a place/situation.
Otherness may represent the ultimate forgetfulness of the Self.

The endeavor of writing as having something to say is perhaps

pursued by the novice, would-be, or dilettante writer in that spirit of

desire to write 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

The creature possesses false transcendence. Quantum physics says,

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

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

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

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

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 3momentum 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 3hypersurface 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.
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.

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 socalled 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 consciousnesss 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 nonphenomenological 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 shortcircuiting 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.

-varying
eigenfunctions fully accounts for the uncertainty in the lifetime. I was
just trying to say that,

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 consciousnesss 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. September 2011 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 Gdels
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 of which one has no experience, and by
definition), then he has no concept of consciousness and is not in a
position to form such a concept. 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.
September 2013

http://www.dissertationtopic.net/doc/471955 ""Concept of
consciousness" in the above and other particular senses and acceptations
of the phrase are mere metaphors. To form a bona fide general concept
of something requires abstraction from multiple instances or exemplars.
Since each mind only knows its own subjective consciousness, there is
only a single instance on which to draw. So the individual doesn't
possess a concept of consciousness except in the form of an ineffable
intuition for which there is no rational vouchsafe. (The "intersubjective
subjective" is a contradiction in terms) The mystery here is: how is the
degeneracy split, i.e., that of the ontological/epistemological?" Or recast
this way: how is the degeneracy split, namely that of consciousness
being a one or of consciousness being a many? Experientially, these two
cases are indistinguishable in light of subjective consciousness

incorrigibility principle or Bishop Berkeleys Esse est Percipi (to be is

to be perceived) principle. A concept or category of consciousness is
forever out of reach of both the individual and the collective out of the
reach of the individual because he can only know consciousness from
his own case, although there must be multiple instances of a class of
entity available from which to abstract in order to form a concept of
category, out of the reach of the collective since the notion of
intersubjective subjectivity is a contradiction in terms. Common sense
tells us that other minds indeed exist, equal and alongside our own
within a world held in common. And since so such concept can be
logically constructed or insightfully intuited, the belief that each
individual consciousness, that of oneself and ones peers, for example
follows rationally from the belief that each individual consciousness is
an instantiation of some transcendental concept of consciousness. The
situation is rather analogous to the case where a person is only able to
visually experience but a single color, say red, which is the philosopher
of minds favorite. Could such a person form a general concept of color
when he is only able to work from a single sample? Only a person
capable of experiencing multiple colors could possess a concept of color.
Merely the potential for making an observation is enough to collapse the
wavefunction, but only because observers are actually possible within
such a universe in which wavefunctions live. This is to sharpen the
Anthropic Cosmological Principle to its finest cutting edge.
It is sometimes supposed, by those who do allow that
consciousness is a reality not caught by any of the doctrines we
have considered, that none the less nothing enlightening can be
said of it. It is a kind of given, something of which we do have
direct acquaintance, but it is impossible to give any analysis of it. It
is sometimes supposed, more extremely, that direct acquaintance
or introspection is so uncertain or fallible that not merely no
analysis but nothing of value can be got by means of it. We are in
possession of no concept of consciousness at all, c.f., Mind and
Brain, A Theory of Determinism (1988), Honderich.

Consciousness exists, but we can form no concept of it as the

intersubjective cannot grasp it. Consequently, objectivity transcends

intersubjectivity.
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 consciousnesss 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 openended 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., September 2011
Nozicks Philosophical Investigations, footnote, p. 125: I am told by
Sidney Morgenbesser that in a novel 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. One cannot relate anecdotes of
Morgenbessers wit without mentioning the following classic: during an
invited talk at a lecture hall of students on the philosophy of language at
Columbia University in the 1950's, Oxford Don, J. L. Austin noted
importantly that, "while a double negative may function as a positive
and does so in many different languages, never have I in my lengthy
career of intensive study of the world's languages, noted or heard cited a
single instance of a double positive used as a negative." From the back
of the lecture hall, piped up a nasally young Sydney Morgenbesser,
muttering dismissively in his characteristic Borscht Belt accent . . ''Yeah,
yeah.''

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.
October 2012

"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, c.f., Sartres Being and Nothingness.
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 1st 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. (Epigenetic changes have been observed to persist for
approximately seven generations.) 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 solely of abstract entities. And what is the
meaning of an entity possessing identity as one of its attributes?
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

There is no absolute existence. Things always exist by subsisting within
some context in which they are embedded through being drawn from

The advantage of being ones own therapist is that counsel received

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 au=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

Closure takes place through an open-ended process. Our concept of

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 build it
higher than before. Deconstruction is not the attempt of the stream to
rise higher than its 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

A compromise is frequently negotiated by couples in which one partner
is noticeably more attractive/ wealthy, etc. than the other whereby the

the less attractive partner remains monogamous and either denies or

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.

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 informationbased symbols?
Is every creation of the human mind really of necessity two-edged?
Must our creations function as insidious co-creators with us their

because there can be no unobserved demonstration? Does some bad

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 fourmomentum 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

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

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

fall asleep if one assumes an unaccustomed pose for too long a time.
A similar example from the familiar world of the personal computer

There is a fine line existing between optimal sensitivity to the informing
influence of quantum vacuum energy fluctuations and optimal

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.

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.

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

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 2nd 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.

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 contextfree 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. November 2014 fcbk= If the prescience of a quote faintly hints at

Phil 4941 Notes from August 1992 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

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.

Gdels 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.

That I refers to the one who utters is a linguistic convention which seems

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

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.

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

Since both tautologies and contradictory
utterances lead to some sensical (not nonsensical) reaction in the

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 selfconstruction 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. October 2012 What is the likely

The paradox of information processing and the open-endedness of

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.

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

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 not have a definable mode structure. This
finite mode structure is perhaps only possible in a provisional sense, but
can never be predetermined.
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

Causal chains must always potentially accommodate

Is consciousness always intentional? Certainly thoughts must always

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 consciousnesss 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

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

Culture as a broadcast signal. Example: the African American

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

we might decide to take within the immediate future such as whether to

day as a welcomed visitor in the household of a friend.

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

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 selfinteraction.

Coherent versus incoherent interacting fluctuations. Thought
control manifests itself as telepathy, i.e., intention, but not thought is

There is a far greater number of organizations and associations than

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

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

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

Sensory images as barriers representing the grounding-out (shortcircuiting, if you will) of thought.
Since thought does not originate with sensory perception (although it

These would merely be representations within the self that one already

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

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 consciousnesss?
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

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.

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

There are two forms of insanity: one which we might term

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

Each one of us is an incarnation of Divinity. You might say that each

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

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

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?

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

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.

A tissue of private associations bearing the superficial resemblance to an
objective reference, and which we believe we share with our fellow

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.

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.

Postmodern exposition of the principles of astrology. Is Astrology

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

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.

Evolution of language constitutes the processing of experience at the
collective level, Septermber 2011 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
February 2013

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

The equation of a sufficient condition for somethings coming into being

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.

Because one life is not enough for either moral or intellectual

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.

In the real world, these contradictions are as subtle as those underlying

Processing information is increasing the context of data connecting data

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.

Poetry is so powerfully suggestive because coherent thought manages to

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. July 2011 By extension all of the messages which
traverse ones grey matter possess no innate denotation at all, but are

It is as though each entity has its own indeterminate ground. But what

Is it possible to have a complex signal which results from the

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

If you try to think about what a metaphor literally means in terms of the

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

Returning without immediately realizing it returning without ever

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

We must distinguish between forming abstractions versus manipulating

In the absence of genuine creative power, there is the display of mastery

Instead of coining new terms out of thin air, many philosophers prefer to

Illusions as such are not necessarily false representations. But the truth

The determinacy of thought is based solely upon the fixed or

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

The speed of light is infinite when relativistic effects are not taken into

UFOs are perhaps best understood, in general terms, as anomalous in
the Kuhnian sense which merely telegraph deep flaws within the
system of metaphysical assumptions (paradigm) upon which present
physical and psychological theories are based. January 2013 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 a self-causing, intelligentthough-impersonal organism or of some superhuman person - intelligent
designer/creator is beside the 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 faade of the message so as to get at an 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

The world wide web and the Internet will someday become so extensive

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
0th 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.
September 2011

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.

Why must there always be side consequences/effects to enemy

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,

No falsifiability of the falsifiability doctrine because, if this doctrine is

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.

The unconscious does not have the facility for adapting symbols to its

On the hypothesis that only pure energy can be spontaneously created
within a Euclidean or flat quantum vacuum, e.g., virtual fermion/antifermion 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 momentumenergy 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.

Astrologys predictions and explanations are self-fulfilling because of
the nature of perception to be heavily filtered. And astrology is a

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

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

field. Is subvocalization just the by product of social conditioned

The only difference is that part of the system of multiply reflected mirror
images is not discernible. Part of the associative network begins to
protrude into consciousness. This is dissociation. Is it inauthentic to
respond to persons in terms of their faceted reflections and not to them
personally? 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 because he knows deep down that he is out of synch
with the prevailing mainstream American culture and that a foreign wife
shall not recognize what is blatantly obvious to a normally socialized
American woman).

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.

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 selftranscending as a category.
We have emotions about most experiences because they in turn reflect
other earlier experiences wherein the associated emotions were more

is a 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 2nd 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.

The principle of causality realize in turn upon the closest

continuer principle. The very same mechanism of fine tuning of
fundamental physical constants which called one forth from the sleeping
void is the very same mechanism which is responsible for transporting
one through time . The theory of the multiverse cannot save us from a
conclusion of intelligent design because it violates the principle of
causality firstly there is no guarantee that other minds with whom I am
allegedly familiar accompany me as I temporarily evolve through the
vastness of the multiverse the closest continuer to the present moment is
the successive moment, but the successive moment, rather than being
along a determinate timeline is now set within the enormity of a vast
hyperdimensional multiverse of ever so slightly distinct versions of the
current universe. The ground of being itself possesses know being but
contains within itself all possibilities of being. The origin of temporality
is to be found within the ground of being consequently whatever can be
found as the origin of temporality must be a part of this ground of
being.

After enough centuries, all temporal continuity is completely washed out

and so travel to the past from the distant future epochs was not ruled out
on account of causal considerations.
In the exchange of substance in the continual reconstitution of an object,
there is a discontinuity and hence topological change.
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;" overassimilation 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

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

translation, a more interesting affirmation than the French original

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-initself 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, one demanding a desperate remedy, c.f., the Book
of Ecclesiastes in which it is stated that upon death the spirit returns to
God who made it, c.f., Ecclesiastes 12:6-7: Remember himbefore the
silver cord is severed, and the golden bowl is broken; before the pitcher
is shattered at the spring, and the wheel broken at the well, and the dust
returns to the ground it came from, and the spirit returns to God who
gave it. (Regardless of whatever the fate may have been of the soul.)
So according to this Hebrew myth, God takes the form of a man and
submits to both temporal and spiritual punishment in expiation for Sin
which, although committed by man read here, Adam, God assumes the
complete and total responsibility for - perhaps because God created the
possibility for Sin to exist through His having created Man. August 2014
This part seems fair, which is to say, accepting the penalty for a crime
that could not have taken place without ones material complicity. What
seems less fair, of course, is the idea that those who fail to accept Jesus
as their personal savior, shall be required to also pay for this sin.
(Without original sin, the relatively minor peccadillos of flesh and
blood human beings are impossible, since original sin or the fall
supplies the necessary cohesive and dynamic ground for evil. Evil,
virus-like, cannot reproduce and disseminate itself in the absence of a

host, which it can pervert. Relative though not total spiritual immunity is
supplied by prayer and fellowship. Those who lack the presence of mind
(or spirit) to recognize that they possess the spiritual equivalent of auto
immune deficiency syndrome and seek out the proper course of
treatment and cure are truly doomed.
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 led 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. Ecclesiastes 3:11: He has amade everything 1appropriate in
its time. He has also set eternity in their heart, 2yet so that man bwill not
find out the work which God has done from the beginning even to the
end.
It is just in this sense that God does not exist: God is the
transcendental other, meaning that God is always already the other. So
the answer to Satans querulous question, How come I didnt get to be
God is just the following nobody gets to be God. And it is only in this
definite and precise sense that we may understand that, by definition,
God does not exist, namely, God is not a person, which is to say that
personhood is not a transcendental state or condition (of consciousness
or of whatever). The notion of transcendental condition is a
contradiction in terms. Persons may participate in divinity but only by
achieving transcendental states of consciousness beyond the personal.
Conversely, God can become a person, a temporal being by achieving
an immanent state, but this is only a projection or delimitation of being
(a kind of simulacrum), but not a being in itself. In terms of the various
other differing senses and meanings of this proposition, sufficient logical
demonstration or empirical proof appears to be as yet unavailable to us.
Although there is no such thing as the person, God, we cannot deduce
from this that God does not exist (in the sense of His not possessing
Being). (Relate the continuum of being to the mathematical continuum
and God to Aleph, the continuum hypothesis to the hypothesis of Gods
existence.) God is a personification of being-at-large or being as such.
So pick any person at random and ask them if they are God, if they
always answer truthfully, they must say No. Perhaps all that is
necessary is to slightly alter the definition of personhood such that there
can be no complete picklist of persons such that God could be found
on the list. Surely, this is not so drastic a change in the definition of
person such that, if God were a person in every sense except this one, it
would still be meaningful to assert that He exists. If a necessary
condition for personhood is consciousness, then no person exists in an
intersubjective sense because consciousness is not intersubjective.

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 selforganized 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. December 2013 See the Wikipedia entry on
pragmatics, c.f, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pragmatics for a hint at the
open-endedness of genetic meaning, which points to a dynamic
interpretive matrix in which genetic information can be endlessly
reprocessed, e.g., mental substrate, c.f, semiosis (see

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? Septermber 2011 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. October
2012
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 selforganizing 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". October 2011 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 selffertilized 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 metainformation? 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 prefiltered (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 openended context for all local interactions taking place within the quantum
neural network, i.e., the brain.
July 1998

The communication of the left and right hemispheres cannot be

modeled as appropriately timed sequences of inputs introduced to each

hemisphere separately. The sychronization of causally connected events

is not as subtle as that of nonlocally connected events. @$Since
superposition effects are required for objects to possess macroscopic
properties, we do not expect such objects to be capable of forming
superposition states amongst themselves. This is similar to the argument
against the existence of spacetime constitutive processes taking place
within a particular spacetime continuum.
Quantum indistinguishability and the identity of particles of like kinds is
perhaps related to the distinction between the unitary evolution and the
objective reduction of the wavefunction. The hydrogen atom is the only
atom on the periodic chart for which an exact solution for Schrodingers
equation exists. At what level in the hierarchy of matter does the
identity of individuals of a given kind break down? @$The very identity
of all electrons, protons, neutrons, and other fundamental particles
strongly suggests that these particles are not real, but are mere
abstractions. April 2011 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, (c.f.,
Stephen C. Meyers short youtube lectures on the failure of chemical
determinism of genetic base pair sequences.) 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) Gdel - 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.
April 1997

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.
fb=@Brettage Munkdial during August 2014 First Draft in December 1995

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 consciousnesss 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.
August 2014 fb= (@Brettage Munkdial)

Each and every conscious being is God

escaped from cosmic loneliness in the leap of faith of taking upon
himself the limitation of space, time and causality...in the hope that there
are others who, following the same logic and striving have indeed done
the same and committed the foolhardy and desperate act of exploring the
realm of "not knowing everything". The world is a projective space and
a kind of for the most part unwitting collective RPG.

July 1997

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 submicroscopic 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.

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.
May 1997

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? August 2014
"There is no absolute truth." Of course, for the sake of avoiding selfcontradiction, this proposition must be regarded as only conditionally
true. So under certain as yet unknown conditions, there is indeed
absolute truth. You see the conundrum here. To speak of the truth value
of a proposition concerning truth is self-referential, and we are engaged
in the realm of so-called metatruth, which bespeaks transcendental mind.
Wittgenstein spent at least half of his philosophical career teaching us
language using apes how we inevitably tend to apply language beyond
the scope of its meaningful application. But this scope is fluid and not
predetermined, as we language users are no mere automatons, but free
and creative beings.
November 1997

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 selfexistence. 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.
February 1997

This deduction, if valid, seems a bit vacuous. If one is not

willing to accept what appears to be a rather dubious bit of logicchopping, 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 nonoccurrence 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. August 2014 "There is no absolute
truth." Of course, for the sake of avoiding self-contradiction, this
proposition must be regarded as only conditionally true. So under certain
as yet unknown conditions, there is indeed absolute truth. You see the
conundrum here. To speak of the truth value of a proposition concerning
truth is self-referential, and we are engaged in the realm of so-called
metatruth, which bespeaks transcendental mind. Wittgenstein spent at
least half of his philosophical career teaching us language using apes
how we inevitably tend to apply language beyond the scope of its
meaningful application. But this scope is fluid and not predetermined, as
we language users are no mere automatons, but free and creative beings.
October 1997

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, Hfluc. The quantum
system with its fluctuation Hamiltonian is just an abstraction from the
06/98

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, Hzpf, which prevents any quantum system from
ever existing in a true energy eigenstate with ,
=

-i
0e

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. 06/98

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 Gdel, 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
June 2011
King might be effected on white's very next move.
If one
could demonstrate that Gdels 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, nonrepresentational 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 preexisting 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
June 2011 @$
objects within the noumenal realm.
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 representation. 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 nonexistence. 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!
April 1997

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.
November 1997

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

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.

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) because x must
be accessible to the reach of f(x), which implies that x cannot be closed
system. This is the basic contradiction implied by functionalism.
November 2013

The brain may participate in the radically recursive structure

and dynamics of consciousness, but itself, being a finite system cannot
consistently represent true recursiveness.
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 for 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 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 consciousnesss 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." June 2011 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 4th 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 3rd and the 4th 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, this result 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. Psychology on the other
hand, seems these days to yield productive results only when it borrows
from other disciplines, e.g., artificial intelligence, cognitive science,
brain physiology, biophysics, pharmacology, criminology, statistics,
anthropology, sociology, sociobiology, economics, linguistics, etc. with
relatively little distinctive scientific content to call its own. Once one of
the greatest and most influential schools of this infant science,
Behaviorism, now seems to have been exploded by the failure of hard AI
on the one hand, and the success of Chomskian linguistics on the other.
Although pure or general Psychology no longer seems able to contribute
much to the advancement of its science, the field nonetheless possesses a
bright outlook in light of an interdisciplinary spirit of research, which is

to say, on account of its philosophy of applied science.

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, stimulusresponse 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 socalled 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 socalled 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, selforganizing 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.
June 1997

Sufficient conditions for the occurrence of a given event are

always merely "provisional."
April 1997

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 selfinteraction 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.

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 conceptdenoting 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 protoIndo-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.
February 1997

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 overdetermined 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.
August 2014

The subjective transcends the intersubjective by definition. The

only possible scope and reference of the term, objective is
intersubjective, i.e., these terms are coextensive in their application.
From this we should be able to define two axioms upon which to build a
polysolipsistic metaphysics. Additionally required for the development
of this metaphysical system shall be the analysis of the solipsistic logic
of the anthropic cosmological principle, which is revealed in light of the
cosmological fine tuning problem and the paradox of the Universes low
entropy initial condition. Fine tuning is causally supervenient in a
fashion reminiscent of my principle of time scale reductionism. But
merely a single dimension of time might not provide a rich enough
analytical domain within which to effect the kind of telescoping
babushka-doll-like causal reduction of temporal scale as the embodiment
of this principle. See Sean Carrol here: Or maybe the Big Bang is not
the beginning of the universe. An egg, an unbroken egg, is a low entropy
configuration, and yet, when we open our refrigerator, we do not go,
"Hah, how surprising to find this low entropy configuration in our
refrigerator." That's because an egg is not a closed system; it comes out
of a chicken. Maybe the universe comes out of a universal
chicken. Maybe there is something that naturally, through the growth of
the laws of physics, gives rise to universe like ours in low entropy
configurations. If that's true, it would happen more than once; we would
be part of a much bigger multiverse. That's my favorite scenario, c.f.,

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 Gdel 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 semipermanent 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. December 2011 The coherence and cohesion of combinationalpermutationa 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 selfevident 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.
July 2011

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.
December 1996

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 spacetime curvature produced by the Sun's mass, but due to the refraction of

the starlight on its passing through a vacuum of radially decreasing zeropoint energy density. We would expect the zero-point density of 3momentum 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 Ti,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 Evac
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. 06/98

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
July 2011
quantum tunneling phenomena.
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 momentumenergy 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.
December 1996

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 zeropoint 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 pixelsized "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 [E0 to Ex] = S(dP'(E)) on [Ex 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 timeindependent 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

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 orderindependent 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 orderindependent 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.

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 dualcontinuous 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

Entanglement is instrumental in the maintenance of thermal

equilibrium? <entropy analogues> convection cell and temperature

analogues, i.e., Shannon vs. von Neumann 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?
Dream logic of revisionistic causality, rationalistic lying and
Kuhns structure of scientific revolutions. 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 gps location, as well as the quality
assurance of 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.
Freuds principle of the conservation of energy is relevant in this regard.
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. April 2011 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. November 2013 As of November 6, 2013, the
following search < "gravitationally squeezed vacuum" -wormhole
wormholes> only produced a single hit (relating to an amateur
physicists crank aether theory)
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 measurementcomponent 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 remembered/deconflicted symbols. Richard's paradox
leaves an untenable contradiction, which must be analyzed to find an
error. cit=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,
July 2011

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., http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_paradox. February
2013
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.

The density matrix describes an accelerating particle because a

decohered pure state is not purely fermionic nor bosonic, i.e., neither
symmetric nor antisymmetric. A pure Psi must be either fermionic or
bosonic, that is, there can be no superposition of fermionic with bosonic
states. One component of Voloviks bivacuum superfluid accounts for
dark energy the other component for dark matter. A value of G B
< GF can reconcile the current tension between the abundances of
Deuterium and 4He predicted by primordial nucleosynthesis. We

Bosons Produce the Same Gravitational Field?, au=Barrow and Scherrer,
LANL ArXiv (2004). (Where GB is the gravitational contant for bosons
and GF is the gravitational constant, G, for fermions.)
That causal connections, i.e., locality might via Bohms causal principle
be recast in terms of nonlocally connected quantum correlated vacuum
fluctuations gives much support to the notion that the quantum vacuum
is the cosmic CPU and the universe an implementation of its
programmed (quantum computed) simulation of physical reality.
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 inert, undifferentiated
substance, which is an utter fiction-nothing at all. Is that why most of
the vacuums energy appears to possess no inertial/gravitational import?
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).
www.damninteresting.com/?p=807 Only 37 of the original 100 circuit
elements found their way into the 4000+ generation evolutionary chip

which still proved crucial to the pattern recognition capabilities of the

well as analogue shades of 0 and 1 in machine states.

This is reminiscent of the ad hoc exploitation of the most subtle physics

of the quantum vacuum (consciousness field) by the evolving quantum
microtubule substructure of the evolving homo sapiens brain. It is no
coincidence that the plateaus of fitness landscapes that an evolving
species of organism manages to reach after many long and hard won
competitive struggles to survive should be so densely packed, one next
to another. And this game observation certainly applies to fitness
landscapes reinterpreted as stable states of spontaneous (or stimulated
latent spontaneous) reorganization of germ plasm genetic material, i.e.,
base pair sequences.
Is there a theory out there interesting enough to make the scales fall from
our eyes, which is yet comprehensible? Is there any way for the ahhah experience to be extended for significant periods or is this
experience by its very nature fleeting?
The Derridean always alreadiness of gene regulatory network as
ground of evolutionary change points to the existence of this @$deep
time (multidimensional time) that must be understood to be the time
outside of but absolutely necessary to the directed time pointed up by the

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 2nd 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 modalities of cognitive function and social
interaction. @$In accord with Levinas notion of the self vs. other
(minds), the self is no more real a projection or construct than is Deity,
in fact it is less real, hence the opposition of theism and solipsism. The
growth in complexity of biological systems (evolution) doesnt appear to
fit within the confines of a single temporal dimension just as classical
causality fails to capture their complexity. au=Levinas thesis that the
other is prior and more fundamental than the self is important to
philosophical theism, April 2011 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 speaking, the

concerning the self-organizing properties of atoms vis a vis the creativity

In other words, loss of bone density might turn out to be the least of
deep space explorers problems! What makes energy into matter is
information. So then is causality (in the sense of Searles causal
efficacy contra hard AI) merely a correlational recipe for the
structuring of fluctuations? Or is substantiality of matter due to a special
kind of information, i.e., historical information (which transcends
Feynmans sum of histories for alternate system configurational

Voloviks statement that the density represented by the
cosmological constant is equal to the cosmological matter density is the

sustained only within a false vacuum state. October 2011 Archimedes is by

enough and a stable enough fulcrum, he would be able to move the

Collider (LHC) over concerns that a high energy collision produced in
the monster accelerator might trigger collapse of the false vacuum,
resulting in the destruction of the Earth, if not eventually of the whole

observable Universe. The nature of a false vacuum is a false energy

minimum, like the false bottom of a roller coaster ride. The roller coaster
can only climb the next hill and reach the true bottom of the ride if it has
enough kinetic energy to get over the hump of the next hill. If the roller
coaster does not have enough kinetic energy, it gets stuck in the false
bottom of the ride, which is an unstable state, like a false vacuum, c.f.,

good idea to model the effect upon the dual superfluid vacuum structure
posed by a passing gravitational wave (quadrupole radiation mediated by
composite spin-2) instead of a unique spin-2 particle or graviton).
Kaiverainens bi-vacuum theory possesses important features in
common with au=Voloviks dual superfluid induced gravity theory as
well as with Sarfattis Destiny Matrix theory. I had already hit on my

The implications of Volovik's work are that "Everything Is

Induced", e.g., gravity, inertia, supersymmetry, etc. via quantum
entanglement of virtual fermions and bosons in the form of the various
particles required by the the formal theories thereof AS COMPOSITE
PARTICLES, which is to say *quasiparticles*. Consequently, the Higgs
Boson is a composite, as well as the graviton.
Dark energy and the accelerated expansion of the universe may be
explained in terms of the effect of decreasing real 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, June 2011 which should be reconciled with the growing
discrepancy between the ephemeris and expanding cosmological frames
of reference. Dark matter on the other hand may be understood as due to
an induced gravitational effect somewhat akin to gravitational vacuum
polarization, c.f., cit=Quantum Vacuum and Dark Matter (au=Hajdukovic,
2011).
Explore the story of the drop that thought it was the ocean because made
of the same stuff in connection with the emergent property of wetness,
c.f., au=Mills argument concerning wetness. Also look at the idea of a
childrens story that uses the drop/ocean analogy/story to teach the
difference between the spirit becoming one with Gods Spirit from the
soul going to be with God. Consider the breakdown of the equation of
information = negentropy in light of the nonlocal properties of
quantum entangled thermodynamic systems. October 2011 It appears likely
that the 2nd 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., Ms/Rs2. (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.,
Gdelian, 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 meaningconferring 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 consciousnesss 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
consciousnesss.
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 4-momentum (energy) fluctuations,
which in turn leads to an increased entropy density.
The past time interval, t0 t1 expands due to cosmological expansion to
the new past time interval, t0 t1 . 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 4th 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. June 2011 This
observation has important implications for a quantum-based theodicy,
e.g, why eternal separation from God of free-willed persons, who have

Inertia may be understood in analogy to the appearance of frictional

Although the entangled elements may be copied, the pattern of their

indeterminacy of spacetime character along the abstract real
continuum and the separability of the 4th spatial dimension from the

to the ambiguity of the 4th spatial dimension as a time dimension.
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

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

Each transcendental number (of which there is an infinite, possibly

collective intentionality and said continuum is essentially providential in
nature. It is no coincidence that far more original thought and insight is
stimulated by a crisis within a theoretical foundation, i.e., contradiction
and paradox, e.g., the challenge of a reigning scientific paradigm than by
the challenge of applying an established theory. The inertia of the
current scientific paradigm is social in nature, while the insight
challenging it is subcultural and possibly based upon the insights of a
single individual, although it could be argued that such an inspired
dissenter is always himself the product of an intellectual climate, i.e.,
there is a collective ground for any challenge to a currently dominant
scientific paradigm. In a word, polysolipsism fragments into a shower of
indistinguishable solipsisms in the absence of God. However, this

Arguments against solipsism always appeal to the public nature

of language and conceptual thought. The presumption here is that
language determines thought because to the extent, however small, that
thought determines language, this is through the operation of metaphor
(all concepts are veritable reified metaphors). It is not clear whether
metaphor is necessarily public and intersubjective in nature.
Wittgensteins private language argument against solipsism may
ultimately fail because of the non-analyzability of the subjective in
intersubjective, which is to say, linguistic terms. September 2014 But
language may have originally started out from an evolutionary context
as an only much later to be externalized additional interlayer of sense
data reprocessing intercalated between impulse and action within the

dynamic refractive medium of a touched patch of highly convoluted

neocortex. So an early stage in the evolution of language and one now
irretrievably lost within the deep time of the species proto-history
was back when, from our now enlightened perspective, all utterances of
ones neighbor were mysterious portents of what was not yet quite
speech nor indeed even ventriloquism. May 2013 Language presumes a
listener, a reader, an audience at least in practice and in common sense,
but to say that this is necessarily so requires more than hand-waving
arguments. Perhaps the irreducible complexity argument that is normally
enlisted on the behalf of Christian apologetics can be applied to the
logical structure of the sequence of funny noises made by big people that
the infant hears, which he eventually pieces together and learns to
interpret in terms of meanings. And if irreducible complexity can be
derived from specified complexity qua encoded information and in turn
it can be demonstrated that the only proper context for information is
mind, then this may pose a way out of the solipsistic impasse left behind
by failed Wittgensteinian arguments. Since consciousnesss cannot be
superposed, c.f., gedanken experiments of Schrodingers Cat and
Wigners Friend, only distinct vacuum resonant tuning filter states of the
entangled brain microtubule tubulin dimer network can be superposed;
and so it follows that the many worlds interpretation of quantum
mechanics implies a nondeterministic branching of the observers
consciousness to alternate resonant tunings of his neural microtubule
network wherein each unused branch represents a close duplicate of his
physical self, i.e., brain microtubule network, which is . . . either
resonantly tuned to someone elses consciousness or to no consciousness
at all, i.e., to a philosophical zombie state. In other words, Mr.
Goldmans Quantum Jumping financial prosperity techniques can only
work for Mr. Goldman. August 2013 Language may have originally started
out as a kind of internal machine syntax for the processing sensory data.
Quantum entanglement is just a manifestation of the temporal continuity

2D Quantum Gravity from Quantum

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.
April 2011
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. July 2012 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 chains of events. au=Hermann Weyl explains
the statistical nature of quantum observations in a similar manner. The
act of observation brings observer and system together in a manner
befitting no prior interaction of observer with observed. Certain Psi
collapse and Rho(phii) 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 cit=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 consciousnesss, myriad minds constitutes a degeneracy of case,
that is to say, phenomenologically speaking. If Bishop Berkeleys Esse
est Percipi principle is invoked and applied here (to consciousness), then
it appears that the only outside force (e.g., magnetic in the case of spin
degeneracy) available to split this degeneracy (distinguish these two
degenerate cases) is a transcendent external observer. 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
data 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. (page 72, September 2008) October 2011
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 intersubjectivityobjectivity. 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

connotes all conservation laws and mixed symmetry represents nonconservation, e.g., gravitational energy and spacetime path

According to au=Tajmar and au=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.,
au=
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 twocomponent superfluid, c.f., au=Kavairainens bivacuum theory of the
graviton. October 2011In Volovik theory, virtually all of the characteristic

phenomenological features of general relativity may be simulated with

In Tajmars theory, the mass of Niobium Cooper pairs is related to an
effective graviton mass due to a prn=gravitomagnetism effect of rotating
superconductors, c.f., au=Modanese theory of au=Podkletnov gravity
shielding effect. Leibniz principle of what creates, sustains applied to
the necessary coherence of that which emerges and sustains itself tells us
two things about the ground of being its open (an open system), and
if a permutational-combinational structure is imposed on this field,
entity selection rules are engendered that support the existence of the
various entities selected for gaps or islands of non-being in the
selected for gaps or islands of being (stability) and non-being
(instability) within the permutational combinational structure, are part
and parcel with the coherence and stability exhibited by that which
emerges and sustains itself against perturbations (fluctuations). A ready
example here is the Periodic Table of Chemical Elements or the
partitioning of the subatomic world into the various species of
fundamental fermions and bosons.

Any philosophical argument that implies solipsism in either its forms,

Type I, II or III, i.e., its metaphysical, epistemological and
methodological forms, e.g., Anthropic Cosmological Principle, must be
dismissed out of hand. This is on account of the standards of soundness
and validity falling short of applying to any argument that implies the
necessity of there being no hearer or grasper of the stated argument,
e.g., a signal that cannot be registered in the information system, i.e., no
context for the communication. June 2011 Without the possibility of
confirmation of observation by other observers, i.e, intersubjectivity, the
phenomena observed cannot be grounded more firmly than can mere
illusion. In fact, there can be no objective distinction between the two.

It is precisely when physical systems begin to lose their instantaneous or

nonlocal connectivity, that within the system as well as between the
system and quantum vacuum, that the system must take on mass and
exhibit inertia (and gravitation), c.f., cit=p. 100 cit=The Holism of the New
Biology, cit=Macroshift 2001-2010 by au=Ervin Laszlo. DNA may indeed
be a language, but like a language not all possible syllable sequences
correlate with a particular meaning at any particular time, but a given
sequence that is meaningless at one time may be assigned a specific
meaning at a later time, c.f., linguistic evolution which attends cultural
evolution. June 2011 This observation ties in with Jacques Monods
observation that the genetic code is arbitrary. And the arbitrariness of
DNAs meaning is directly connected with the functionality of the
ribosome as genetic base pair translator within the context of a particular
cellular environment.
Could the relationship between particular untried gene sequences and
phenotypic expressions be programmed via feedback between sequences
already field tested and the, e.g., formative causal, morphogenetic field?
x**2 + y**2 + z**2 c**2t**2 = 0 = S, spacetime interval for a flat
spacetime, i.e., in flat spacetime every spacetime point is instantaneously
connected to every other. Gravitation represents a description of this
connectivity. <untried sequences> Can there be feedback from untried
genetic sequences even though their phenotypic expression is not yet
determined? Every change in the part must be accommodated by
adjustments in other parts of the whole. This belies coherence and
cohesiveness in the system of the whole and its parts so that not every
combination and permutation of parts can represent/ be a coherent,

Conservation of information takes emergence out of the process of
evolution and makes of it a sham. With lockstep determination we are
faced with the problem of etiology of appearances, particularly ordinary
perceptions of the so-called external world. @$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 millennia as a kind

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 consciousnesss are indeed distinct, however in a way that
transcends the perceptual and intellectual capacities of any possible
individual mind. Such distinctiveness of individual consciousnesss
would have to be extrinsic, meaning the distinctiveness would have to be
in terms of some external relations possessed by some consciousnesss
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 quantum 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.

As is commonly said, "without context there is no meaning".

A given brain as a closed system is not, in and of itself productive of a
person's individual consciousness, whose brain it is. Rather, the brain is
embedded at the subatomic level, if you will, in the nonlocally
(instantaneously) connected quantum vacuum electromagnetic field or at
least some subspectrum of this field. Chemical activity within the brain,
if isolated could not possibly make reference to anything outside of its
finite self - thought, which necessarily is intentional and makes
reference beyond the representative symbols at its disposal, clearly
cannot function as a closed system.
In fact, because
general anesthesia is caused by only a specific concentration being
reached in the brain lipids of the anesthetized patient of 0.05 moles/liter
and not the chemical properties of the anesthetic gas, vapor, fume or
mist, etc., then it is not the chemical action within the brain which
constitutes a sufficient condition for consciousness. Though this
obviously is a necessary condition.

There is no "cross-talk" between my thoughts and yours because my

brain is resonantly tuning to an altogether different frequency spectrum
of nonlocally connected vacuum electromagnetic field fluctuations.
~These field fluctuations of the vacuum are 100% responsible for the
Heisenberg energy uncertainty of quantum mechanical systems, /\E,
which according to Heisenberg, /\t ~ h//\E. In other words the passing
of time for a quantum mechanical system is dependent upon /\E which
stems from the quantum vacuum. Any condition which is itself necessary
for the passage of time would itself possess no beginning in time. So the
nonlocally connected quantum field spectra of each of our minds is
eternally preexistent. This supports Mikes idea of our eternal
preexistence. I have glossed over some details here but this is the idea.

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 selforganization 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. June

This kind of entanglement of levels of description is likely to be one
of the principal hallmarks of Kurzweils technological singularity.
Uncertainty has a defined structure and does not diffuse in accordance
with the 2nd Law. The information connected with processes possessing
energies smaller than the /\E of the system may defy analysis in terms of
distinct states fitting into a combinational/permutational state space
structure. Does the 2nd law act uniformly on both sides of the
uncertainty barrier? There are deterministically structured moments
that are importantly related to the quantum wavefunction. Free will
breaks the deterministic chain and so has a substantive effect on the
wavefunction on this view.

which scales local topographic maxima, the other, forsaking local

qualitatively different) order of evolutionary development is to be sought
in the hypothetical dynamic mechanism driving the evolution of rugged
fitness landscapes as a whole. According to French Biologist, au=Denis
Deboule, its very hard to imagine that this entire process happened in a
very linear, gradual manner with an animal that evolved to be more and
more upright and to walk better and better. Yet its still the predominant
thinking of the day, more so than the idea of a relatively major
transformation, which allowed one species, at one point in time to
develop the morphological features necessary to have the stability to
stand on two legs and walk, c.f., the documentary film, cit=Future Focus:
Homo Futuris. Also see Paleontologists, au=Jean Chaline, au=Anne

revolutionary ideas presented in this documentary film. prn=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, prepackaged mechanisms and almost not at all by way of random
mutations.

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. au=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 recognize 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 unanticipated Psi collapses disturb it,
contributing to the system is decoherence. @$A Lorentz transformation
entangles the spin and momentum degrees of freedom, i.e., spin-1/2 and
spin-1 become entangled. This should mean that spin +1/2 and spin -1/2
of a Cooper pair become less entangled with respect to intrinsic spin on
account of entanglement conservation.

au=
M. Cliche and au=A. Kempf, 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 prn=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 spacetime, the entanglement of the vacuum decreases significantly due to the
effects of the prn=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.

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.

underlying the life of the living branch of the superposition would be
effectively squelched. April 2011 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 property of
intentionality, that of the Creator in having conceived of each of us,
atemporally, that unites us one to each other in prn=the brotherhood of
sentience.

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

Nonlocally connected events are not merely simultaneous: they are

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

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

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. September 2013 The concept of consciousness is
transcendental in the cases of either consciousness being a one or a
many: in the case of consciousness being a unity/unitary, the individual
cannot feel his own individual consciousness, but only his own
particular structuring of this unitary consciousness; in the case of
consciousness being a plurality, the individual only had his own solitary
case from which to abstract in order to form a concept of consciousness
as a category. March 2014 In the former case, one does not possess a
genuine concept of consciousness, i.e., one does not possess a concept of
consciousness at all the Overmind does and somehow reveals this to
one; in the latter case, one does not possess a concept of consciousness
at all though this concept does subsist, transcendentally.
An important distinction here is that between inter- and trans-
subjective. Moreover, that you and I, he and she as sentient beings can

itself on the other, which makes our experiences conscious or defines

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 supersystem. 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 historicalgenealogical 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 nonminimalistically, 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 who
sees only subtle shades of grey possess a concept of color and its
vividness. One might object that there are myriad distinct states of
consciousness from which one could abstract so as to form a general
concept of a state of consciousness. But a state is a form and not a
quality or substance, still less is a concept of a state of something
equivalent to a concept of that something in its unqualifiedness of not
being in any state whatever. 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.
prn=

Ising model noncomputability, c.f., New Scientist, Oct. 4-10, 2008,

Why Nature is Not the Sum of Its Parts. Bohms prn=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 3rd 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)
Supermans S symbol on his chest is reimaged by
Hollywood as the heraldic symbol of his family's nobility when placed
within the context of the distinctive heraldic symbols emblazoned on the
chests of the other Krypton nobility. Contrast this with the original
interpretation of this symbol as merely the 1st letter of Supermans
name. Viva Revisionism! As an aside to this aside, "revisionism" is not
merely an artifice of postmodern cultural studies, but is an integral
component of the manner in which the human mind processes raw
sensations into meaningful perceptions. Language may have started out
as an acoustic epiphenomenon of this processing of sensory data. The
novel behavioral-genetic, natural selective pressures brought into being
by the emerging differential advantageousness of either noticing or
failing to notice the correlation of these at first uncontrolled
vocalizations concomitant to the behavior of would-be competitor
hominids, led to a reshaping of the genome of hominid brain, which
transformed merely overheard external vocalizations into internally
generated perceptual reprocessing algorithms. This set up a
progressively more coherent feedback process connecting internal and
external vocalizations of self and other within the breading population,
September 2014

which further oriented natural selective forces toward the development

of language and abstract thought and which, still more, undergirded the
egoic self as a coherent unified structure of fundamental consciousness,
which itself did not evolve in step with these developments of the
hominid mind, but was "always already' present so as to later be "present
to hand". I think we have to acknowledge that there is a dynamic
infrastructure, which has always graced the evolutionary process on the
back end, which informs and renders useful the random changes effected
by e.g., cosmic rays upon the multilevel cybernetic control system of the
genome and epigenome. The human genome is about 8% viral *and* the
best method current science knows for inserting new genes into the
genome of an animal (in order to genetically engineer, say, a human
being from an ancient hominid ape) is to use viruses as vectors, and this
is just a peculiar coincidence, of course. Although the prevalence of
schizophrenia in modern humans may have been the unavoidable down
side of this feat of ancient genetic engineering, c.f., c.f.,

The real force of Plantinga's thesis does not hit home until the
final few pages - the rest of the book leading up to this is just for "setting
up the punch line", which is, to wit, if one has enough faith to believe in
other minds and an external world, then one has more than enough faith
to believe in a transcendent or universal mind. My take-away from this
book in the form of a concise epigram: "If naive realism is metaphysical
baking powder, then atheism is just half-baked solipsism." "God and
Other Minds" represents the first truly novel and exciting thinking
within the field of Christian apologetics of the last 800 years, up until
the time of this book's publication in 1967. This is a very strong
sentiment, but I am far from alone here. Lime Cat Someone needs to
update Alvin Plantinga's epic work for the current Century, to begin
with, update the title - say, "God and Other Solipsists". Not sure I am up

I would have deserted my faith in a divine order many years ago

had I not discovered Alvin Plantingas "God and Other Minds" *after* I
had already discovered that humankind can possess no general concept
of consciousness (the timing of this was rather fortunate for me), though
I cannot exorcise from my mind this certainty that such a concept
nonetheless "exists" (well, "subsists", more aptly), transcendentally. It
seemed to me that only a transcendental mind can vouchsafe the
subsistence of a transcendental concept and without such a concept, I
could not accept *other minds* as other instantiations of minds as such
as indeed I understood my mind to be a la Descartes Cogito Ergo Sum.
Thus I was lead to this dual opposition, Atheism vs. Solipsism. Since I
had to reject one or the other of this logical disjunction, I chose to reject
solipsism. Hence, I cannot have truck with evangelical or proselytizing
militant atheists. However, honest agnostics, I admire and adore.
Plantingas book (above) makes the claim that it takes no more faith to
believe in other minds and an external world, than it does to believe in a
Deity. I accept this argument if one recasts Deity into divine order
or divine ground of being. To invoke Plantingas book as containing
an argument for Biblical Christianity would be to indulge in non
sequitor. Lime Cat Because metaphors can deftly masquerade as bona
fide concepts, many would doubt my premise about the impossibility of
an immanent concept of consciousness, as opposed to a transcendental
one. Don't have room here, but it has to do with the contradiction
involved in forming an intersubjective description of the subjective. So
yes, I guess I'm implying that Wittgenstein's "Private Language
Argument" secretly slips in the divine order via the back door. There lies
the rub.
April 2011

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
March 2011

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.
Probability manipulation and dual coherent/decoherent causality. Why
do population statistics work when populations are composed of freely
willed individuals?
Language as time-integrated and causally
deterministic, simultaneously. Supervenient or vertical causality.
Apply ACP to fortuitous time scale of stellar fusion. 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.

Vlatko Vedral has published a paper in the arXiv that

demonstrates that the conversion of entanglement from virtual Cooper
pairs to bosons is irreversible, which is consistent with the vacuum

Gravitational decoherence and spacetime topology/entanglement
change, from inverse cube to inverse linear, compactification of
dimensions, shows that spacetime structure is encoded through Bohms
causality principle. 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.,
Kavairainens, 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 have the presence of mind to
wonder who it is that wonders (meta-wonder)? And yet there is a gaping
hole in mans self knowledge right at the points of fundamental
integration, c.f., e.g., optic nerve/blind spot. November 2011 The Ego, as
noted, is simply the content of your PSM at this moment (your bodily
sensations, your emotional state, your perceptions, memories, acts of
will, thoughts). But it can become the Ego only because you are
constitutionally unable to realize that all this is just the content of a
simulation in your brain. It is not reality itself but an image of reality
and a very special one indeed. The Ego is a transparent mental image:
Youthe physical person as a wholelook right through it. You do not
see it. But you see with it. The Ego is a tool for controlling and planning
your behavior and for understanding the behavior of others. Whenever
the organism needs this tool, the brain activates a PSM. Ifas, for
instance, in dreamless deep sleepthe tool is not needed anymore, it is
turned off, c.f., cit=The Ego Tunnel: The Science of Mind and the Myth
of the Self (au=Metzinger). No vacuum virtual replicas larger than a
Planck mass. Relate this limit to the Pauli Exclusion Principle and to
conserved quantum entanglement density, i.e., cosmic CPU information
density conservation. Can decoherence/Planck mass virtual replica limit
a Pauli State Saturation Principle applied generally to spacetime? The
quantum vacuum is unable to solve NP complete problems (in real time)
means that there may be a hidden absolute reference frame and cosmic
clock.
Indefinite, unlimited semiosis: open-ended final context of information,
unlimited potential for intelligible reprocessing of information
opposite of the case of context-free information, c.f., beliebige
unwahrscheinlichkeit. Information is not about objects so much as
objects are constructs and artifacts of information. Research au=Shipovs
papers discussing 4-d angular momentum and inertia of spacetime
rotation. Can mass be derived from moments in 4d spacetime?
Conservation of 3-momentum dependent upon secret laws of 4d
momentum conservation, then similarly for the case of colliding
gyroscopes in 3d.
According to au=Pribram, an out-of-focus

photographic image, that is, the blur contains the actual image (in an
interference pattern of out-of-focus rays of 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 prn=ratchet 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.

Feynman path integral determination of ground state energies

of atoms this calculation technique may be used to determined the

Jesus said there would be those who would cast out devils in His name
who would not be recognized on the day of judgment. Jesus felt the

"the Force". This deconstructive enterprise fails in light of the concept
of the "executive" infrastructure and machinery of the Deity's will. This
might also be applied to the "author as Deity of the text." Derrida would

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 anticommuting 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.

momentum fluctuations), extending from the black hole event horizon to
infinity. See arXiv: cit=quant-ph/0604065v1 10 Apr 2006, signatures of

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 prn=DaviesUnruh thermal component to the vacuum that may be identified with the
cosmological constant? au= 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 in pairs that are correlated in exactly the same

Psi-collapse is itself the very mechanism of chronology protection.
"Rindler horizons and chronology protection". Does spin (determinate
and Psi-collapsed) or indeterminate (Psi-uncollapsed) expressed in a
Lorentz-boosted reference frame necessarily contain a timelike

Lorentz frame from the "rest frame"?

"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 indistinguishability 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.
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 momentumenergy 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 with per=Ziad on 12/01/06. I'll try to incorporate this idea
into my present work on the black hole information paradox.
Bohm's explanation of Heisenberg uncertainty in terms of quantum
correlations are the key to distinguishing kinematic from dynamic
processes in the quantum vacuum, e.g., distinguishing abstract special
relativity from concrete general relativity, interaction-free from
interactive quantum field theory.
Separate out and distinguish what are merely <kinematical effects>
resulting from an abstract Lorentz transformation, e.g., the <squeezing

The root(N) and inverse root(N) probability laws are made consistent by

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 massenergy 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

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

In fact, we could even have guessed the sign on physical
grounds: For fermions, the energy is lowered to second-order by virtual
transitions through doubly occupied states which, thanks to the Pauli
exclusion principle, can only occur if the two spins are anti-aligned. For
bosons, these virtual transitions lower the energy more when the two
spins are aligned than when they aren't, due to 2. We dropped overall
energy shifts anyway, so we're not getting the ground-state energy right,
but we are getting the energy splittings in the low energy spectrum
correct, which is much more important. Bose enhancement of the

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 small 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.

The amoeba on the test particle does not see the superposition of the test

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

The decoherence of spontaneous emission should increase with the

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

@$

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

does the black holes event horizon swallow information, @$but so too
does it also destroy (reduce to zero), any Heisenberg uncertainty (with
respect to energy if not necessarily to 3-momentum), which means that
black holes must transduce information encoded in one set of degrees of
freedom into that of another complementary set., say through quantum
entanglement swapping. July 2011 I think of a black holes event horizon
here as a recycling point for quantum nonlocal information, i.e.,
stripping off the correlations which provide the basis for the quantum
information content of matter and then beaming this information back
out into space (Hawking radiation).
The event horizon must be energy degenerate. This claim is consistent

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.

Abstract: The notion of quantum information related to the
two different perspectives of the global and local states is examined.
There is circularity in the definition of quantum information because we
can speak only of the information of systems that have been specifically
prepared. In particular, we examine the final state obtained by applying
unitary transformations on a single qubit that belongs to an entangled
pair, c.f., http://arxiv.org/pdf/quant-ph/0304060.pdf Paradox of

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 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=Kants 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 + xdirection 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 prn=Klein-Gordan and prn=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, prn="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-ee+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 selfdecohering 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) 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 state 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 socalled "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.

Vedral's notion of how photons appear to take on mass in a

superconductor that is manifesting the prn=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., au=Vedral's cit=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, cit=Quantum Quirk
May Give Objects Mass.

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
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.

A typical expression of this uncertainty is the Heisenberg
uncertainty principle, where, the more precisely we know the position of
a particle, the more imprecisely we know its momentum (and vice
versa).Opinions are divided as to whether this epistemological
uncertainty is also an ontological uncertainty. Of some relevance here is
the following observation by Quentin Smith: "Heisenberg originally
interpreted [the uncertainty] relations epistemically, but Bohr convinced
him in private communications to accept a verificationist metaphysics,
with its attendant ontological interpretation of the uncertainty relations"
(Smith 2002, 137) There are many competing interpretations of the
quantum mechanical mathematical formalism.

Methodological Solipsism and the Multiverse" defends the
many-universes interpretation of quantum physics, but draws attention to
a major philosophical obstacle to the interpretation's acceptance: the
question of why, if there are many universes, all on a par with one
another, at a particular time the 'I' is manifest in only one. This is known
as the 'preferred basis' problem. The so-called methodological solipsism
approach, introduced by Driesch and employed by philosophers, such as
Putnam and Fodor, is used to answer the question.

http://philpapers.org/rec/KINMSA Take for example my friends,

Ziad, Gilberto and John. It is unlikely that mine is the universe in which
their consciousnesss are quite as precisely tuned, that is in a biocentric,
anthropically principled sense, as is mine. Although solipsism per se is
indeed false in its usual metaphysical acceptation, the anthropic
cosmological principle as applied to the multiverse is indeed
fundamentally solipsistic. The cosmos has to be just right for me first
and need only possess a verisimilitude of plausibleness for everyone
else. At their most extreme decimal expansions, on their rightmost end,
the fundamental physical constants are biocentrically fine-tuned for my
mode of conscious functioning, since it is I here who considers the
question, or not, if the fine-tuning had been biased in favor of someone
else. I have no doubt that Ziad, Gilberto and John actually exist just
not in this, my universe as the chance of this would make any high
stakes slot machine win or series of consecutive wins pale in
probabilistic significance. Each consciously exists in his own
biocentrically fine-tuned universe and is attended by intelligently acting
human simulacra, which inevitably includes my philosophicalzombiefied doppelganger. The various friendly personages that I
simulate in my brain and project outward into my virtual space are
indeed mere zombies at least insofar as they are my projections, perhaps
guided intelligently by data inputs ultimately stemming from the
biocentrically fine-tuned human projecting from beyond his own cozy
corner of the multiverse. So we see that teasing out some of the
philosophical implications of the multiverse and anthropic principles
introduces a new metaphor that radically shifts the quality of subjective
social experience. The deduction is performed in an as if mode.

Of course, one simple approach to the cosmological constant problem is

to suppose that the vast bulk of the quantum vacuum is in a Bosecondensed "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 with time less and less forced
to rationalize the directives of his so-called superiors as being in accord
with 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.

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 onegraviton 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 spin1/2'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-momentumenergy 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 momentumenergy, 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>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 (3vector) 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-

;M=BH

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 selfPauli 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

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 unpartnered 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 90o 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
2nd 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 360o 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

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

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, 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 4momentum 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+e- pair and helicity of resulting
pair.
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 vacuum entanglement for inertial motion and

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
December 2011
person from whom I received the communication).

Rotating Clock Puzzle when an apparent paradox stems from logic that
is not thorough-going enough (this, however turned out not to be the

Turn the clock 90o clockwise and it now reads 9:30, then turn the
clock clockwise another 90o and the clock reads 12:45. Turning the
clock another 90o 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 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 Au. 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 infalling 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 /\Evac2 - /\px2 - /\py2 - /\pz2 =
/\pimaginary2. When /\E > /\E, then /\E//\p < /\E//\p such that c < cvacuo
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.

the
following
in
hisweb=
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

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 momentumenergy) when viewing matter + vacuum as a quantum computing
simulation, then for example, time dilation due to gravity may be

associated increase in quantum entanglement in 3-space such that
entanglement in (3 + 1) spacetime is a conserved quantity, c.f., au=Sachs

of an impending doomsday scenario, which mankind finds itself quite

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,

E & M can be seen to be incompatible observables through application
of /\x/\p >= h to the case of static charge electric field and charge current
magnetic field.
Static charge implies it seems that /\x for e- = 0. /\xe- < /\x and /\t > /\t
and also /\p > /\p and /\E < /\E.
So Lorentz transformation transforms /\p and /\E as components of a
four vector [/\pi, /\E] = /\pu. April 2011 Conversely, /\p and /\x as well as /\E
and /\t transform in accordance with the Lorentz transformation because
E and M do.
Random field of quantum fluctuations averages to zero, but what if
correlations are introduced into this fluctuation field? Wouldnt we
then expect nonzero average for pi and E?
/\x implies uncertainty in the E-field, just as /\p implies uncertainty in
the B-field. Could the 2.7o 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 accelerating so that at least some component of the CMB
must be Unruh radiation, implying a systematic error in estimating the
age and size of the Universe ( as well as its matter density).

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

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

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lotta_Love This song was

released in November of 1978 and yet I have exceedingly distinct
memories of having listened to this song on many occasions and with
great enjoyment during the summer of 1975! What makes the memory
so distinct is that the singer greatly reminded me of my junior high
school crush, who I was thinking a lot about during that summer just
weeks after last seeing her in early June of 1975. For me this is proof
that the many worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics is essentially
correct even though the ultimate context or mechanism mediating the
transfer of the soul from one alternate universe to another shall likely
never be fully understood. A more common sense based alternative
explanation, one that is far less exotic, of course, is the hypothesis of the
coherent recoding of long term memory in the light of subsequent
experience. This capability may have been evolutionarily selected for as
it serves a valuable function of boosting the mental integration of the
self within its context of potentially rapidly shifting socially-defined

If experimentally measured particle masses are due to the energies of

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 zdirections? 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 socalled "free space" are mutually perpendicular so how can accelerating
along the x-direction in space cause a deceleration along the ictdirection?
(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 2nd rank), which connects the 3momentum 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 @$it might be more
appropriate to think of Machian gravitation as caused by the mass
interaction with the quantum vacuum so as to produce a gravitational
field when the mass is in inertial motion and an inertial field when the
mass is in noninertial motion. (Or we can consider changing mixtures of
inertial and gravitational mass, depending upon the dynamics).
@$

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 onegraviton 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. April 2012 (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
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 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 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 spin1/2'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-momentumenergy 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 momentumenergy, 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 spin1/2 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 state of

knowledge of the observer (or mere "knowledgeability" of some
hypothetical/possible observer?) that reduces Psi?

@$201404

"/\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 socalled "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
April 2011
<"substance paradigm">.
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

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

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

construct that is not conserved, though entanglement is - so decoherence
becomes a necessity. It's not the momentum of the photon (Heisenberg's

Of course, one simple approach to the cosmological constant problem is
to suppose that the vast bulk of the quantum vacuum is in a Bosecondensed "zero state" where the Bose particles make no contribution to

while Bohm's Principle remains inviolate do not contribute to inertial or

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
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 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.

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

more

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 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 selfinterference 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 3momentum, 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 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?

How is a series of vacuum fluctuations nonlocally connected

rather than being merely a subclass thereof? - in the sense of exceeding

and collapse phenomena?
In other words, can a set of nonlocally connected up to but not including

of the quantum vacuum, i.e., the cosmological constant riddle is

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 onegraviton 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 spin1/2'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-momentumenergy 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

The equating of information with a reduction in uncertainty

(Shannon information) does not fully capture the nature of information
as our uncertainty, which is intentional in nature, i.e., its uncertainty
about something. How might we interpret a reduction in uncertainty that
is not intentional, say when we learn about something that we previously
knew nothing about? That is new information, but does not represent a
reduction in any uncertainty about something in particular. Is the past
robust against two-dimensional temporal fluctuations? Imagine that the
blind spot of the eye is directly over the fovea. What are the
metaphorical philosophical implications of this thought experiment? The
acquisition of a first language by an infant or small child necessarily
involves a bootstrapping process. This is because the funny sounds
made by the people which the infant hears do not contain any
information in and of themselves. The neo-darwinian mechanism of
evolution is formed of two components one is strictly critical in nature
and the other random. Creativity can be founded on neither, however
we're supposed to believe that acting together these two components of

the evolutionary mechanisms are sufficient to produce new genetic

information. What is the primary distinction between new information
existing information which appears new because it has been
reprocessed? The fine tuning of physical constants is so terribly exact
and precise that the object of this tuning could only be that which is the
most specific thing possible. This brings up the intriguing question
whether or not selection for a spectrum or array of distinct
consciousnesss constitutes a more precise target for the Mixmaster
universe to hit than is a specific individual consciousness? It is difficult
to imagine that our conception of the universe is nothing more than a
projection made from a standpoint of abysmally limited knowledge. We
mistakenly and subconsciously conceive of the unknown as the totality
of what we know that we don't know.
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 momentumenergy, 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.

^^ indexes passages or equations of interest
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>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-

;M=BH

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 selfPauli 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

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 unpartnered 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 90o 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
2nd 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 360o 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, 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 4momentum 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+e- pair and helicity of resulting
pair.
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.

Hyperentanglement the superposition of all superpositions the

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).

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 Gdels Paradox was concerned). What was Gdels

paradox, c.f., Wikipedia.org. The square end table clock reads, 6:15.
Turn the clock 90o clockwise and it now reads 9:30, then turn the
clock clockwise another 90o and the clock reads 12:45. Turning the
clock another 90o 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.
Look at polarization and magnetization in a dielectric/diamagnetic
M in the medium. Look at generalized Lorentz force in terms of
relativistic transformation of timelike B-field (E-field) into spacelike Bfield. Look at collective spin states/density matrices for e +e- for full
range of possible entanglement of e+ with e- from the same Cooper pair.

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 Au. 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 infalling 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 /\Evac2 - /\px2 - /\py2 - /\pz2 =
/\pimaginary2. When /\E > /\E, then /\E//\p < /\E//\p such that c < cvacuo
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.

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. July 2011 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 momentumenergy) 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.
Vico thought we could be certain about what we construct, e.g., Law,
Mathematics, Theology, etc. But consider that we must manipulate
elements over which we lack complete control anytime we develop such
human constructs.

Degeneracy pressure opposes the positive feedback of Bose

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 theoretically
viable 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 or S-hypothesis (hypothesis of an expanding earth from local

cosmological expansion, c.f., Light in Einsteins Universe by S. J.
Prokhovnik) conundrums 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, this causal principle of
Bohms is actually a special case of an even more general quantum
fluctuation-correlation principle. Needed are ArXiv papers on quantum

Quantum Correlations which Imply Causation

http://lanl.arxiv.org/pdf/1302.2731.pdf Abstract: In ordinary, nonrelativistic, quantum physics, time enters only as a parameter and not as
an observable [1]: a state of a physical system is specified at a given
time and then evolved according to the prescribed dynamics. While the
state can, and usually does, extend across all space, it is only defined at
one instant of time, in conflict with special relativity where space and
time are treated on an equal footing. Here we ask what would happen if
we defined the notion of the quantum density matrix for multiple spatial
and temporal measurements. We introduce the concept of a pseudodensity matrix which treats space and time indiscriminately. This matrix
in general fails to be positive for timelike separated measurements,
motivating us to define a measure of causality that discriminates

between spacelike and timelike correlations. Important properties of this

measure, such as monotonicity under local operations, are proved. Two
qubit NMR experiments are presented that illustrate how a temporal
pseudo-density matrix approaches a genuinely allowed density matrix as
the amount of decoherence is increased between two consecutive
measurements.
Coupled harmonic oscillator model for fermion-boson, scalar-vector or
rather scalar-spinor-vector system, i.e., spin +/- , 0, 1 system. Spin-2
or tensor comes into play by virtue of perturbations of the quantum
correlations between the spin-1/2 and spin-1 components of the system.
Spin-2 is thus always derivative, i.e., gravity is an effective field or a
parasitic force not unlike the van der Waals force.
Why is it wrong-headed to suppose that the Universe might be a
simulation (for the same reason that solipsism is wrong-headed or the
idea that ones whole existence has been nothing more than a dream.)
What breathes fire into the equations of physics? Why the physics,
itself of course! But where exactly does the physics itself reside? It
resides in the noncomputable (non-quantum-computer-simulable)
substrate of the quantum vacuum.

<Wigner functions>, <mixed state entanglement>
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 Unruh radiation,
05/12/06, c.f., Quantum Gravity by Lee Smolin.
E & M can be seen to be incompatible observables through application
of /\x/\p >= h to the case of a static charge electric field and a charge
current magnetic field.
Static charge implies it seems that /\x for e- = 0. /\xe- < /\x and /\t > /\t
and also /\p > /\p and /\E < /\E.
So Lorentz transformation transforms /\p and /\E as components of a
four vector [/\pi, /\E] = /\pu.
Random field of quantum fluctuations averages to zero, but what if
correlations are introduced into this fluctuation field? Wouldnt we then
expect nonzero average for pi and E?
/\x implies uncertainty in the E-field, just as /\p implies uncertainty in
the B-field. Could the 2.7o 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 accelerating so that at least some component of the CMB
must be Unruh radiation, implying a systematic error in estimating the
age and size of the Universe ( as well as its matter density).
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 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

We may follow au=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

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. @$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

@$

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 zdirections? 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 socalled "free space" are mutually perpendicular so how can accelerating
along the x-direction in space cause a deceleration along the ictdirection?
(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?
Russell

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 incompatible
observables. Does an ontological interpretation of the HUP require that
quantum correlations and fluctuations be ontologically and causally
prior to causal influences?

A recasting of the Anthropic Cosmological Principle as an Nthropic Cosmological Principle, in which each universe out of a semiinfinite subset of N universes in the multiverse is fine-tuned to the
consciousness field of some particular individual self, so that a personal
(individually tailored) Anthropic Cosmological Principle applies to
each and every conscious observer. In this way, it becomes unimportant
what the etiology of interpersonal interaction and communication truly
consists of (consists is here a substance metaphor). One can rest
assured that, somewhere in the vast multiverse there is indeed an
anthropically centered subject, and not just a philosophical zombie
dialed into the representation with which one is interacting and
communicating. And this is equivalent to this same parallel universe
possessing two people, identically similar to oneself and the other, who
are having the identically similar interaction/communication as one
imagines oneself to be having, c.f., Wittgensteins Mistress somebody
at a window, lurking. http://bit.ly/1jgliG9
Of course, one might complain that there is some convoluted and tricky
mechanism of intentionality secretly being invoked here, but as Einstein
used to be fond of saying, the solution to some riddle of nature must be
as simple as possible, but no simpler. The multiverse and its ineluctable
philosophical valet, the anthropic cosmological principle, despite the
rather disturbing underlying logic of this cosmological model, which
seems to so seriously flout nave realist common sense, may, so to
speak, constitute the magical integration of area under the best possible
curve fitted to the astrophysical data thus far at cosmologists disposal.
Atheist philosophers will just have to come to grips with the fact that the

price, that must paid for getting the multiverse model and its attendant
anthropic principle to perform all of the metaphysical heavy lifting,
formerly performed for millennia by God, is that of degeneracy. And it
is the nature of degeneracy that it shall rear its ugly head always when
and where you were not expecting it. First and foremost, there is the
resulting degeneracy of the epistemological and the metaphysical as two
heretofore distinct varieties of solipsism. This is of no trivial
consequence to some academic philosophers, who have heretofore
routinely relied on this distinction when constructing demonstrations of
solipsism as the absurd (ab-surd, etymologicallycannot be said)
implication of their opponents arguments, more or less expecting these
reductios to carry the argumentative force of a logicians proof by
contradiction. There is, secondly, the degeneracy of the one and the
many with regard to the individual and individuals. That is, as alluded
to by Erwin Schrodinger in Matter and Mind, there has only ever been
one mind so that each individual mind is but one or another
instantiations of this mind. There can only then be a concept of
consciousness, if somehow the nature of the medium of experience of
multiple distinct individual consciousnesss can be combined in a kind
of Gods Eye (or Gods Mind) View and the elusive most general
property of experience abstracted from these multiple instances. God
would likely have access still more privileged and incorrigible than
would each individual mind, who only ever has its own privileged
access, as opposed to Gods so to speak administrators access.

ness%22&pg=PA58"f=true There is a story featuring Wittgensteins
usual startling cleverness, now regarded as largely apocryphal in which
Ludwig is meeting a colleague in the Quad in Cambridge and asks him,
Tell me, why do people say that it was natural for men to assume that
the sun went around the earth, rather than the that the earth was
rotating? His friend said: "Well, obviously, because it just looks as if
the sun is going around the earth." To which Ludwig replied: "Well,
what would it have looked like if it had looked as if the earth were

rotating?" And this is very much the situation here with consciousness:
the case where consciousness is a one, i.e., each persons individual
consciousness is merely its own instantiation of consciousness per se or
at large versus the case where consciousness is a many, i.e, each
individual consciousness is radically unique and could some individual
per impossible experience the consciousness of an other, he would find
the experience so utterly confusing and alien that he should not dream of
applying the word consciousness to any of the mental states of that
other.
Now this is not all to imply that the world is truly each persons oyster in
the full blooded sense of each person actually creating his own universe
like a caterpillar constructing its cocoon. But rather that there are
additional considerations, besides the anthropic ones of the intimate
involvement of consciousness with decoherence and wavefunction
collapse, Wigners friend, application of the Pauli Exclusion Principle to
quantum entangled systems, etc. that suggest either a 1 to 1 or at least a
0 to 1 correspondence between minds and universes. There is something
about the unity and integrity of a given universe that seems crucially
important to the unity and integrity of the self because of the obvious
importance of the fine-tuning question to applications of the anthropic
principle to the multiverse, and particularly this question of the finetuning
of
consciousness.
http://wwwastro.physics.ox.ac.uk/~ddarg/pdf/FT_of_consciousness.pdf
This would be a radical application of Bohms causal principle, i.e., that
every causal connection may be equivalently represented as a particular
pattern of correlation of fluctuations (causal connections are just
structures of quantum entangled fluctuations in disguise) to the
multiverse model, which implies an equally radical generalization of this
principle. Is the key to the mysterious connection between
counterintuitive quantum phenomena as consciousness-induced selfinterference effects not far behind?
Transcendental idealism is a philosophy that explained experience by

appealing to necessary and universal aspects of the human mind as

opposed to metaphysical idealism, which tries to explain experience by
appealing to an ideal or immaterial substance, c.f., cit=J. G.

physical Fine Tuning of the Universe for life are normally regarded as
separate problems. I argue that there are in fact close parallels between
the two and that the occurrence of consciousness can be essentially
recast as an additional Fine-Tuning problem in nature. In fact, the
occurrence of consciousness turns out to require much more Fine Tuning
than the emergence of complex chemistry and physical life. Motivated
by recent trends in cosmology, I discuss a Multiverse solution to this
problem. I shall broadly conclude that philosophers of mind and
cosmologists have much to talk about, c.f., The Fine Tuning of
Consciousness.

Virtual Cooper pairs (of all fermion species) may function as a
composite spin-0 Higgs boson. General Relativity doesnt include spin
within its logical framework, c.f., Problems in the Void, Odenwald. GR
claims matter creates spacetime, but what properties do particles have
that could constitute or structure spacetime? kwo= March 2012 The Higgs
boson is a hypothetical massive scalar elementary particle predicted to
exist by the Standard Model in particle physics. At present there are no
known elementary scalar (spin-0) particles in nature [italics mine],
although many composite spin-0 particles are known. The existence of
the particle is postulated as a means of resolving inconsistencies in
current theoretical physics, and attempts are being made to confirm the
existence of the particle by experimentation, using the Large Hadron
Collider (LHC).
Some people replace elementary Higgs bosons by composite spin 0
bosons, an alternative dubbed technicolour, but these theories have
fallen into disfavor recently and I will not discuss them further today.

The Higgs is now interpreted as the lightest scalar field with the
same quantum numbers of the fermion-antifermion composite field. The
Lagrangian part responsible for the mass generation of the ordinary
fermions will also be modified since the Higgs particle is no longer an

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, January 2012 c.f., The Dark Triad: Facilitating a ShortTerm Mating Strategy cit=(au=Jonasen 2008): Findings are consistent
with a view that the Dark Triad facilitates an exploitative, short-term
mating strategy in men. Possible implications, including that Dark Triad
traits represent a bundle of individual differences that promote a
reproductively adaptive strategy are discussed. Findings are discussed
in the broad context of how an evolutionary approach to personality
psychology can enhance our understanding of individual differences

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. @$Dark energy is then
a manifestation of the loss of imaginary momentum by matter as the
universe tunnels through the initial hyperspherical potential barrier.

Purely thermal fluctuations arise from interaction of the system with

Psi = sum of symmetric and antisymmetric parts. In gravitational field
the probability density function can no longer be represented in terms of
purely symmetric and antisymmetric parts. Cross-terms in the density

parts.

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 forces are at
work and there is no explanation for the unfolding of events in terms of
the 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 approximation. A theory of the behavior of error
must constitute the penultimate theory.
Searles argument that computation alone cant be constitutive of
consciousness is similar to the notion that all information as opposed to
data are context dependent. On the other hand if I think of a string of
0s and 1s along with the code for translating what said output strings of
0s and 1s are supposed to mean, then theres a kind of active process of
error correction, etc. by which I maintain a string against entropy
producing perturbations which in the quantum case means protection is
just controlling this decoherence (same thing really as protection against

decoherence pure and simple.)

Context is required for meaning but metacontext is required for
consciousness of meaning.
All language is secretly meta-language this is one of the profoundest

Integration of temporal change requiring 2-d or greater time, e.g.,

design perhaps in the sense of response of the ground of being (and
change) to changing boundary conditions and then later with the advent
of individual consciousness, this creative response.
Evolutionary change/steps can be too small to have any survival value
and so are organized according to some altogether distinct creative, selforganizing principle.
Monism doesnt make sense because it only makes sense to speak of
kinds if you indeed have more than one kind. Genera and species arent
distinct unless you have at least two species.
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 Gdels 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 shortterm phenotypic-degenerate genetic base pair sequences. @$Notice that
natural selection is not able to make this kind of fine distinction between
what might be termed short term phenotypically degenerate base pair
sequences.
Psi-collapse and the Halting Problem. Changing a 0/1 into a 1/0 and

this:

Reasons for saying

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
Incompleteness Theorem. (see limitation as scaffolding)
We dont notice all of the non-coincidental possibilities so as to better
appreciate the truly coincidental ones!
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.
See quote of Heisenberg by Lyre in Against Measurement? On the
Concept of Information, p. 9 footnote. As au=Alan Watts points out,
there is no word in Sanskrit for matter. Also Watts noted that our
words, mother, meter (as in unit of measure) and matter all
originated from the same Sanskrit word from which maya is derived in
that language.
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?
We are all the children of God because we are begotten, not made,
c.f., au=Feuerbachs The Essence of Christianity, p. 203 (Barnes & Noble
Books).

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. March 2011 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. @$The mathematical edifice is an abstraction that cannot be
unified abstractly and this is the broad hint that mathematics is the
product of a transcendental mind.
Novelty is just the transcendence of the ground of being by the entities it
supports, c.f., structures of the quantum vacuum too complex to be
timelike fluctuations of this vacuum. And the quantity of inertial mass
is proportional to the density of the (to the vacuum) novel information
contained within it. April 2011 Spacelike fluctuations may only make sense
as entangled timelike fluctuations wherein this entanglement surpasses a
certain threshold of complexity, i.e., such that the composite cannot be
encompassed within a single timelike fluctuation. July 2011 This kind of
transcendence is perhaps a good example of the stream rising higher
than its source, what Heraclitus emphatically said is impossible. Of
course, what is to prevent the stream from acquiring another and higher
source? @$If the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, then this is
telling us something very important about the nature of those parts,
namely, that they are abstract. August 2012 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 undergoing unified
experiencing. When a stupid and ignorant person gets an insight and
attempts to implement it, he quickly comes to the attention of those who
understand how the world works and soon after the guardians of the
workaday world of honest industrious people are themselves alerted.
<scaffolding of spirit> similar to Terence McKennas characterization of
the body as placenta of the soul. @$Matter allows more complex
modes of vacuum fluctuation than what the quantum vacuum can
support on its own. This is what decoherence is about. McKenna talks
about biology serving to amplify quantum uncertainty.
Discuss Asimovs short story, The Chronoscope in terms of
implications of such an observational instrument. Various uncertainties
would interfere to block collecting of concrete evidence with which to
deconstruct all mythic narratives, that is, without engendering other,
perhaps grander ones!
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
ij with its locally distinct and
ij that introduce (at once) temporality and irreversibility. Take
the definition of information as a reduction of uncertainty and then
consider the ambiguity (or mutual inconsistency of) Heisenberg
uncertainty as epistemological/ontological.
Assume the two
interpretations are really the same implications being what?

Transcendence of epistemology by ontology is similar to Gdelian

transcendence of formal provability by truth IMPORTANT!
Show that the Gdel numbering trick is buried within the logic of
Cantors diagonal argument
Fractal, recursive or self-referential
structure of the way the brain processes its data, i.e., recursively
structured thinking and perceiving gives us the idea we are being guided
by God or God is speaking to one. This repressed solipsism is projected

We make up a procedure to cover (over) the areas to which we have
heretofore been conceptually blind, i.e., the system recognizes the
limitations of (or merely that the system is limited) itself and switches to
a new set of axioms (maybe also rules of inference). July 2011 It seems
obvious that the procedure of selecting or adding or removing axioms so
as to change the domain of provability would not be formalizable one.
Throughout most of these 2500 years scientic knowledge was viewed
rationalistically, and it was assumed that the atomic constituents were
some kind of self-evident axioms involving basic categories that
required no denition. However, beginning in the Renaissance there was

enough, the philosophical bias of most thinkers who abhor the
constricting conceptions of mind of such artificial intelligence workers

thought cannot be reduced to a concourse of atoms (Empedocles) such
as might be described by a mathematical trajectory. But Gdels 1st

against the agenda of hard AI.

What disrupts the determinism of the time evolution of the wavefunction

does this presumably because gravitational energy is not a conserved

quantity in general relativity. An observer/experimenter may decohere

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

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. Discuss the interpenetration of the categories,
ontological and epistemological.
How is mathematical intuition vis a vis Gdels theorem related to the

a self-referential statement in that possible language of seeming English,
Incompleteness (2005) Goldstein.
Do we need a corollary to Gdels 1st Theorem which reassures us that. .
. either it applies to unprovable true theorems that are not self-referential
or that some theorems that are true and unprovable (within arithmetic or
better may not seem self-referential (cryptic triviality of all seemingly
non-trivial unprovably true theorems or all theorems are secretly selfreferential? July 2011 Could we determine a restriction upon Gdels
theorem for a certain class of axiomatic systems such that his theorem
can only be demonstrated utilizing trivially self-referential propositions
within those system? This would be somewhat in accordance with the
spirit of Russells theory of descriptions/types, and if possible would
undercut all attempts to apply Gdel in support of mystical ideas.
Causal relations have logical structure and classical physics represents a
formal system. Quantum mechanics offers the possibility of classically
forbidden physical states, very much akin to Gdels unprovably true
theorems.
Either the human mind surprises all machines (to be more precise it can
decide more number theoretical questions than any machine) or else
there exists number theoretical questions undecidable for the human
mind, c.f., au=Hao Wang on au=Kurt Gdels beliefs about the
implications of his 1st incompleteness theorem.
Clearly there are
number theoretic questions 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 selfreferential 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 theoretic propositions be structured like? Topology
(of the space of number theoretic propositions) is certainly important
here I think about Kauffmans rugged fitness landscapes in this
connection and Monods claim that the coding of genetic information
within the DNA is 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 computational capacity). But this is where the
rub lies as far as Minsky et al. are concerned.
Need to finally elaborate the idea of humans as symbiotic beings, i.e.,
primate-spirit, c.f., Philip K. Dicks Pluriforms. Spirits catalyze the
operation of the primate brain in quantum mechanical mode of the
primate genome into higher forms.
Can individual human beings,
whole races, epochs, planets, etc. be forsaken by such advantages and
disadvantages conferred on each by the other? What mode of operation
or its signature is it which attracts one of these beings to join with a
host?, c.f., Secrets of Power, au=Ingo Swann. See quote of Heiseberg

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 3momentum). 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 strategies, etc.
Entropy production on account of the
brains operation should be composed at all times by a classical and a
von Neumann component, helping to explain decoherence of quantum
systems (i.e., vacua) in interaction with a conscious brain.
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.

alternative quantum (decision) wavefunction branches for our MWI
quantum universe counterparts, and is this possibly seemingly altruistic
behavior rational self-interest within the context of an MWI quantum
theoretic Smithian free market? Is it only an MWI variety of quantum

of self-sacrificing altruism, c.f., ethics of quantum game theory and

Can we turn a proof (via work energy theorem) that the gravitational

There must be theoretically possible beings isolated or cut off from the

But both

Quantum mechanical phase of a spin-1/2 particle is timelike and

timelike (inertial frame exists in which spin-1/2 particle is in an energy

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 Gdels 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 before say, a tennis ballsized scale is reached. However, can the phases of the components of
the density matrix be tuned and stabilized so that the ball more or less
tunnels through. Either 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

It is supposed that the greater the accuracy . . . in the measurement of
spatiotemporal coordinates, the stronger the gravitational field generated

(The way out of this implied dilemma is to
distinguish between epistemological and ontological interpretations of
the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle.) Elaborate on this further
Spontaneous versus induced quantum uncertainty, i.e., unbound vs.

bound fluctuation energy.

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.
Absolute Psi is not an observable QM.
Absolute frequency is not an observable SR.
Psi and frequency in some sense conjugate or incompatible?
Does the phenomenon of QM measurement demonstrate the efficacy (as
opposed to the epiphenomenal nature of) human consciousness?
The something-it-is-like-ness of certain brain processes (assuming a
reductionist view of mental states) is in essence the intentionality of
brain states. But consciousness seems to require the interaction of brain
states (across time).

The blind spot of personality like the nucleus of the cell is the very
target for manipulation of the whole structure. Altruism, rational selfinterest after a certain age cynicism can only be avoided through
identification of self with a higher self, political, intellectual, spiritual,

Each bit of energy is correlated to multiple contexts/continua and so
causality must be the theory you get when you consider just a single
ground state.
We see the overlap of free will and consciousness in our study of the
distinctly different quality of vacuum fluctuation energy from when
fluctuation is spontaneous as opposed to reactive.

Aristotles form and substance are indistinct where structures below

the decoherence threshold are concerned.
The quantum-classical continuum should not be identified with
spatiotemporal scale per se but with nearness +/- to the
decoherence/recoherence boundary. There are other conditions besides
scale, e.g., complexity which figure into this threshold.
This means we must think in terms of Heisenberg stress-momentumenergy uncertainty, /\Tuv.
Not only are quantum correlations responsible for bulk properties of
matter such as polarization, magnetization, etc., inertia as well vacuum
fluctuations, for example, take on mass in a gravitational field and thus
contribute to the cosmological constant due entirely to the character of
nonlocal correlations guiding, pilot-wavelike the quantum processes
underlying nongravitational binding forces/energies, rather than some
unqualified substance with a magical intrinsic property of massiveness.
One cant properly Lorentz transform a density matrix with partially
decohered phase relationships existing between the density matrix, i.e.,
the components of the density matrix. A transition must occur between
quartic (i.e., 4-dimensional) and quintic density matrices, i.e., the
quantum vacuum cannot support the coherence of quantic and higher
dimensional density matrices. This is due to a theorem of Galois on
nonexistence of root formulas for polynomials of degree-5 and higher.

four dimensional space, c.f., Newtons bucket experiment and Machs

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

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.

Boundary conditions upon the quantum field become overly complex,
then pure state does not so much as decay as trans-form into a mixed

Causality is fully determined by correlations, quantum and classical in

The ground of wavefunction collapse is decohering

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

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. Polarization

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

and

/\x x /\
/\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 emissionabsorptions.
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 FermiDirac statistics (Pauli Exclusion Principle) and Bose-Einstein statistics
(principle of Bose condensation) to the interactions of real-real, realvirtual, 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.

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

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 Tik 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, Tuv? 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

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.,
A0exp(ax-2), as opposed to inverse-square, i.e., A0x-2. (Could there be
some gradient associated with a scalar field, which transforms Gaussianvarying 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 4momentum) 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
FEB 2011
limited notion of the mathematical infinite.
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

Cosmological expansion creates spacetime, that is to say the Universe

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.

All lose threads stick out on the underside of the rug of grand unified

The line of reasoning goes something like this: four-momentum and the

Heisenberg uncertainties of these are also conserved, then we expect that
as /\E decreases

\
\px increases such that
weve established that /\

statistics of fermionic and bosonic vacuum fluctuations manifesting as
spin-0 e+e- fluctuations (increasing, decreasing) and spin-1 photon
fluctuations (decreasing, increasing) such that spin-0 (scalar) vacuum
fluctuations and spin-1 (vector) vacuum fluctuations may be understood
as components of a conserved (3 + 1) vector representing fluctuation in
the vacuums momentum-energy.
We should be able to elegantly
demonstrate this through use of fermionic and bosonic creationannihilation 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

potential. How does this relate to the magnetization and polarization of

reprocessing of other information. Really? What does this absolute
assertion imply for a universe constuted soley of information? How is
information reprocessed which involves the combination of two or more
streams of information, streams which have never before interacted
and are completely uncorrelated? Clearly the universe would have to be
made of more than just information qua information if information
reprocessing in the manner alluded to above is allowed. There would
have to be distinct levels of some other quantity with information
being a kind of this quantity subsisting at one level or another of this

that our concept of information is not general enough. But this is the

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 zdirections? 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 socalled "free space" are mutually perpendicular so how can accelerating
along the x-direction in space cause a deceleration along the ictdirection?
(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.
Russ
PS, Bell's Theorem and the results of the Alain Aspect experiments have
demolished the notion of an objective reality in your sense. Yes, it's
absurd, but the next generation of physicists will not think so - they

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.

Because general anesthesia ensues and consciousness ceases once a
vapor, gas, fume or mist that the patient has inhaled has reached a
concentration in brain lipids of 0.05 molal, independently of the
chemical properties of said vapor, gas, etc. strongly suggests that it is not
the chemical properties of the anesthetic substance which are responsible
for consciousness though 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.

A suggestive relationship between subjective and objective is

resonantly tune to certain (perhaps preexisting) quantum vacuum E/M
frequencies. The gradual death of a person's brain tissue under hypoxic

webpages themselves, but merely in the ability to open them. The

Each brain possesses its own tiny frequency subspectrum of the total

forward phasing "specious present" is more or less orthogonal to that of
intersubjective linear time, e.g., the cognition of a melodic theme and its

the quantum entanglements laid down into the quantum vacuum as a
result of cerebral action, i.e., conscious thinking encode information,
which is conserved. This quantum information from the conscious life
experience of all intelligent beings is being input into a single matrix and
therefore is open to be reprocessed into larger, transhuman meanings perhaps this is the purpose of the "after life."
Memory is non-neural because it is really the trillions of tubulin dimers
within the millions of microtubules within each of the brain's 200 billion
neurons that actually does "the heavy lifting", c.f., Hameroff and
Penrose's "Orch-OR" model of quantum consciousness and anesthetic
action. And these tubulin dimers are really only waveguides for the
quantum vacuum electromagnetic field. As we discussed during the predeployment at Fort Bliss, when any gas, vapor, mist or fume reaches a
concentration in brain fat (similar to virgin olive oil) of 0.05 molar,
general anesthesia takes place.
It is precisely at 0.05 molar
concentration that the electron mobility in tubulin dimers within the
microtubules switches from wave-like to particle-like, i.e., "dumb elastic
ball bouncing along a pipe"-like. The wave-like properties of molecular,
atomic and subatomic particles is owing to the continual exchange of
quantum observables, e.g., momentum, energy, angular momentum, etc.
between said particles and the quantum vacuum electromagnetic field
(QVEF). So the specific action of anesthetics is to sever this connection
between the brain's microtubules and the QVEF. The brain effectively
becomes "unplugged" from the "cosmic Internet" and is left to "compute
offline". As we know, without context there is no meaning and the
physical occurrences within a truly closed, stand-alone system, e.g.,
circulating electron or ion currents in the anesthetized brain, "can't really
be about anything", that is, these physical processes cannot "refer to
anything outside the closed system". This loss of ability of the brain to
represent and refer by way of this loss of context is what we call
unconsciousness. Strangely, this is the inverse of the situation in the
two-slit experiment, in which the presence of consciousness causes the
electrons to hit the phosphorescent screen as impacting particles instead

of interfering waves. The absence of consciousness *inside* is

associated with particle-like behavior of electrons in the brain, while the
presence of consciousness *outside* is also associated with particle-like
behavior of the two-slit experiment electrons. I suspect the presence of
quantum entanglement between brain microtubule tubulin dimer
electrons and the electrons hitting the phosphorescent screen in the case
of the two-slit experiment. I suspect the loss of quantum entanglement
between tubulin dimer electrons in the brain and the quantum vacuum
electromagnetic field in the case of general anesthesia.
A new model of perception arises from these and similar considerations.
An object viewed serves as the basis of a collection of sensory data (as
opposed to information), which instructs the brain how to alter its
quantum electronic filtering/tuning circuits so as to tune in from the
vacuum spectrum of information signals that precise set of vacuum
signals representing the object perceived. This Huxlean, Jamesian,
Bergsonian, McKennian, Wattsian, etc. theory of perception seems to
lend considerable support to Platos theory of forms. A correct theory
would retain Plato while acknowledging Bergsonian creative
evolutionary process, i.e., emergence. Since the Heisenberg uncertainty
in a quantum observable is derived from the fluctuation in this
observable, i.e., sqrt[<Q**2> - <Q>**2]. it may well be that the mutual
interference of quantum fluctuations of microtubule tubulin dimer
electrons with the quantum fluctuations of the vacuum electromagnetic
field carrying the entanglement signature of an object in the external
world that is in continual interaction with said vacuum forms the basis of
the brain's perception of external reality. A correct theory would retain
Plato while acknowledging Bergsonian creative evolutionary process,
i.e., emergence.

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
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

Emergence means that a beings context never

Which arose first, the moral sense or hypocrisy? I say hypocrisy. This
quite turns everything on its head and so requires extraordinary
explanatory grounds. epi=fcbk 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

that is, are invariably revealed by the light of reason, should it choose to

It is widely believed that a person from a traditional or tribal, i.e.,

primitive culture is happy to give up the cozy 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, post-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 local factory for bare
subsistence wages. The same extol the virtues of the free market

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

Montesquieu, Voltaire and Rousseau could have played little if any role
in the instigation of this revolution. July 2011 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

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 DaviesUnruh acceleration temperature?
If the world possesses no complete description, a theory of everything is
not really possible, they all of our systems of categories and even the

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-

of quantum gravity, c.f., Sakharov, Volovik, Reznik, Alsing, et al., c.f.

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)

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. 1117, 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

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

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. In effect,
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 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.

What would happen to the trajectory of a projectile fired

vertically while the strength of gravity decreases during the course it's
flight? With the projectile appear to accelerate vertically? What
happens when the mass of a projectile moving uniformly decreases with
time with the mass then appear to accelerate in order to conserve its
momentum? There are many different mechanisms which could be
proposed in order to explain the observed cosmological acceleration.
How does a changing Hubble constant affect the propagation of light in
an expanding cosmos for example? Light which is uniformly
decelerating in all directions corresponds to causality decelerating
uniformly in all direction If the Einstein convention of the light ray is to
be considered universally valid, that is. Light rays propagating within a
uniformly expanding cosmos would appear to be undergoing an
acceleration equal to Hubble's constant the speed of light - a deceleration
actually.
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.

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

conditioned upon our digging deeper still. But is meaning built upon

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 selfreferential nature of extended semiosis is inherently unstable.
Since /\ > - universally repels and /\ < 0 universally attracts we have the

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.

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 the seeming greater inevitability of these more cohesive, more

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-

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 3momentum 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

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 (or transcendental humanists) 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. Possible further
theological 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

concept of radical metaphoricity. November 2014 The evolutionary
conception of man, that is of nature having bestowed to him all of his
notable and presumably unique faculties of self-awareness such as his
moral and aesthetic sense, language, his facility for metaphor, strategic
and conceptual thought, altruism, etc. out of a process of convenience
rather than one of supervenience, has led many into confusing these fine
qualities with attributes unique to humankind and the races unique
sociobiological heritage there are no other species of homo left on the
planet with which humans might compare and contrast these his special

characteristics. But is this not merely a historical accident, namely that

the higher mental functions, as well as individual and sociocultural
behavior of humans and humankind cannot be viewed and understood
within the general and perhaps even transcendental context of the
various general mental properties of consciousness as such, merely
subject to the accidentally supplied initial and boundary conditions of
biology and history? It just seems that it is a race of philosophical
zombies in which context is utterly absent so that a description of
collective behavior, either in terms of proximate or relatively distal
causal factors could be seen as equivalent on account of a reigning
degeneracy (borrowing from a quantum context) that should have
evolved out of a bottom up causal process, while the evolution of proud
race of self-aware and socially-minded individuals should have arisen
out of an evolutionary process necessariliy involving causal
supervenience. September 2014 Husserl regarded intentionality as
constituting a relation between the subjective agent and the object and
also supposed it to be a kind of function or quality of the agent's act to
perceive, imagine, and so on, in a particular way. Initially he
distinguished between the intended object, that is, the referent, or what
we 'mean', and the content of the mental act in effect its 'sense'

Environmental decoherence possesses an underlying mechanism
composed of two parts decoherence of the system due to action of the

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., 1st 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 1st 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

<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 paradigmdependent.
And so the Popperian doctrine itself postulates a
metaphysical principle, falsifiability that is itself paradigm based and so
ultimately unfalsifiable. September 2013 Falsifiability is also technology
dependent, for example, the gradual closing of the loopholes in Bells
falsification of the underlying thesis of the EPR paradox during the
period, 1970-2010, c.f., Shimony, Aspect, Lamoreaux et al. Paradox:
technology is science-dependent, falsifiability is technology-dependent,
a theory is scientific or not dependent upon that theory's falsifiability.
Science-->Technology-->Falsifiable-->Science The solution to the
paradox is likely that the "-->" operator carries different kinds of
implication at each step so there is above an equivocation of sense at
work...perhaps (must look more closely at this).
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 selfinterference 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 selfsustaining 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 counterdeconstruction. 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 nonarbitrariness 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 unfalsifiable, 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 selfthwarting 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 18th 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 (noninertial 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., Gdels 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

Chance, though it has never been the author of order, has certainly

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 1095
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

In a deterministic universe the loss of information, say into a black hole

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

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,

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

photons compensatingly increases, c.f., entanglement of spin bath spins
enhancing quantum entanglement (of a certain kind), decoherence
suppressed by vacuum entanglement, etc.

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

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

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 (
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

If decoherence processes underlie temporal change, then this would
imply that the Universe is an open system, i.e., embedded in an infinite

It may be that there is some maximal decoherence rate which relates to

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,

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 socalled 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

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

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 (quantph/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

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.

The unity of transcendentally distinct individual consciousnesss
requires not an underlying, 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 individualconsciousness-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 consciousnesss 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 SternGerlach 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] that the quantization of fields in
Minkowski and Rindler coordinates are inequivalent, implying that the
RRW vacuum seen by Rob |0>I is different than the Minkowski vacuum
seen by Alice |0>M.
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.

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.

and/or Lorentz boosts, i.e., Wigner rotations can recapture 100% EPR
correlation of the spingravitational decoherence of Psi.
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?

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 3rotations 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 3rotation 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.

Non locality and holographic structure subsist at the micro level, while
locality is itself a manifest appearance on the macroscopic scale of space
and time.
Quantum spin does not involve actual physical rotation of particles
within space, but is a so-called intrinsic spin, which is meaningful only
within the context of a full four dimensional spacetime.
The nonlocal behavior of quantum spins is further demonstration of the
intrinsic as opposed to extrinsic nature of quantum spin.
Because quantum spin contributes to the overall conservation of angular
momentum in a system of interacting particles and yet does not possess
any observable extrinsic properties of rotation within space, this is the
reason why intrinsic quantum spin can be consistently interpreted in
terms of rotations and angular momenta about the time axis.
The electric fields of static charges possessing intrinsic spin of 1/2 can
be interpreted as the magnetic fields of four-dimensional time like
electric currents.
This provides additional support for the notion of the timelike angular
momentum of spin one-half particles.
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.

Even when there are vastly more ambient photons in the lab (many of
which shall undoubtedly possess the same momentum, polarization and
energy as such photons that would indeed bounce off of the electron in
just the right manner so as to be caught in an appropriately positioned
photodetector (in the absence of a human observer), there is no collapse
of the interference pattern. So it's not the actual physical "bouncing off
of the electron" by the photons that causes the collapse of the
interference pattern (wavefunction for physicists : ) ). This consideration
rather compounds the mystery, I think. Brian Swift and I of course have

a crank physics theory to explain this!

Thermodynamically, with /\E decreased the density of energy

fluctuations is decreased implying that the magnitude of individual
energy fluctuations should on average be larger according to N2 < N1:
1/N22 > 1/N12. The larger number of bosonic 3-momentum fluctuations
controlled by the smaller number of composite spin-0 4-momentum
fluctuations, in turn implying greater 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.
Well, the objection here would be that the electrons are too small to be
seen with photons. But the two-slit superposition experiment has been
recently performed using Carbon-60 ("buckyball", named in honor of
Buckminster Fuller) molecules and even larger macro-molecules, which
are easily detected and even imaged with visible light photons. So my
argument remains in force. There is another question about where the
Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle (HUP) applies here. (The blurring of
the boundaries of the epistemological and ontological in quantum
mechanics goes all the way back to the Solvay Conference of 1927 and
some physicists have picked this year as the birth year of Quantum
Mechanics :) Meanwhile back at the ranch, so if one says that the
argument hinges on the fact that, when no observer is looking at the slits
to see which slit each buckyball goes through, ambient photons are
always available within the laboratory to interact with the buckyballs
just as though they were being used in order to see which slit each

buckyball went through, and that in this case, where an observer is

absent, no collapse of the interference pattern is observed, i.e., no
shotgun pattern of particle strikes is observed on the phosphorescent
screen, then this proves that it is indeed not the actual bouncing of
photons off of the buckyballs which causes the wavefunction of each
buckyball to collapse into a "dumb", billiard ball-like particle, but the act
of conscious observation itself. Then, invoking the HUP, one can raise
an objection that, the HUP does not really permit particles to possess a
precisely defined combination of energy, momentum, polarization, spin,
etc. (what are called "quantum numbers", corresponding to those
quantum "observables") and that, moreover, precise values of a quantum
observable, e.g., momentum, always require an act of observation...well
then the critic is embroiling himself in an infinite regress here. Even
though you're a non-physicist, you are gifted with a (intensifier adjective
is superfluous here) logical mind. You are therefore capable of spotting
the weak areas of an argument (the "hand-waving" spots), regardless of
which field or discipline, once you have the basic principles and enough
information in hand. It appears to me that hardly anybody can think like
that anymore and that has got to really disturb you because, as a
professor, you are not just a researcher of ideas (philosopher), you are
also a teacher. I am curious to know if you have detected a generational

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 offdiagonal terms in the density matrix describing the pairs quantum state.

The invariance of the action holds without using the equations of

In a gravitational field, a reduced density of virtual fermion/antifermion

The 3-momentum Heisenberg uncertainty of the vacuum
electromagnetic field increases with increasing gravitational potential at
the same time that the magnitude of 3-momentum fluctuations, i.e.,
virtual photons increases due to increased quantum entanglement
(polarization entanglement) with increasing potential. Magnetization
entanglement of virtual electron-positrons correspondingly decreases
with increasing gravitational potential. This reflects the increased
spread in 3-momentum of each virtual electron and virtual positron,
which is created and annihilated within a quantum vacuum of increased
gravitational potential.

The loss of 100% quantum correlation for entangled spin particles,
which have separated within a spatially varying gravitational field points
to the fact that 1) spin contains a timelike component and 2) these
timelike components for widely separated spin-1/2 particles within a
spatially varying gravitational field @$cannot be brought into global
alignment by any spatial rotations of either particle. This is because
spin possesses both spacelike and timelike components though spin as a
4-angular momentum vector in its own right cannot be defined globally.
Neither can the 100% quantum correlation be captured through any
combinations of spatial rotations nor Lorentz boosts! This fact about
spin decoherence by a gravitational field points up the fundamental time
irreversible nature of gravitational interactions, c.f., Gravitational
Effects on Entangled Atoms. (cit=arXiv: gr-qc/0108051v1). @$ If the
parallel transport transfers one of the correlated axes into the axis which
differs from the second correlated axis by some rotation, then the
conclusion is that a non-vanishing gravitational field is present, which
rotates that particles spins.
This is obviously a quantum
gravitomagnetic effect.
Quantum entanglement of spin and 3-momentum degrees of freedom in
accelerated reference frames or gravitational fields is relevant to the
claim that there is a transmission of virtual fermion-antifermion anticorrelation to quantum correlation of virtual photons with increasing
spacetime curvature, and which also speaks to the issue of the black hole
information paradox, vacuum polarization magnetization,
gravitomagnetism, Podkletnovs antigravity experiments, Davies-Unruh
radiation, etc., but more generally to an alternate vacuum quantum
statistics theory of induced gravity. (Is there a kind of 2nd order
entanglement generated that acts as a historical record of a transfer of

entanglement from one system to another?)

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 Gdels Incompleteness Theorem. Strangely ironic it is that the
advent of individual consciousnesss, 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.
Conserving imaginary momentum by increasing mass in step with

This is seen in the following equation:

Superposition can be understood as quantum states held in a kind of
memory buffer. When data density exceeds the rating of the vacuum

quantum numbers).

investigation, we have considered 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

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 consciousnesss 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

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 transformation on the local
dynamics would be masked by being transformed away. Along such
lines we might not expect to be able to divine evidence of the global
time evolution of some fundamental physical constants, i.e., those
physical constants connected exclusively with the force of
electromagnetism, by simply analyzing relic electromagnetic radiation
of ancient stars and galaxies.
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 quantummechanical 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 coupling

between a classical GR wave and a classical EM wave mediated by a
quantum fluid with 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.

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 eventually anyway?) But this decay time grows in magnitude
as particle enters stronger gravitational potential.

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.

Entangling of the spin degrees of freedom with momentum degrees of
freedom during acceleration has an analogue in the realm of curved
spacetime. This might explain the loss of correlation of spin +/-
fermion-antifermions accounting for the dispersion of composite spin-0
over a range [-1, +1], corresponding to increased probability of
exchange of virtual bosons and antibosons. The increase in density of
vacuum fluctuations through spacetime rotation of composite spin-0
bosons (fermion-antifermions/Cooper pairs) constitutes merely a special
case of the above spin dispersion, i.e., loss of nonlocal quantum
correlation of the fermion components of virtual Cooper pair
spontaneously created and annihilated out of spontaneously fluctuating
energy of the quantum vacuum.

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 Decoherence Caused by Spacetime Curvature,

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

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

We are all exiles punished for having got too close to the getting our

That the local value of the velocity of 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

Reductions in
uncertainty constitute information but at the cost of creating greater
uncertainty for conjugate observables. And this process of uncertainty

Off-diagonal terms in Tuv arise when the anti-correlation of +/- spin

E = mc2 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 4space), 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.

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., c70 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 c70 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

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 antiblocking 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 interpretation of self-as-social construct. Dualism is
the 3rd person theory of the mind-body relationship, monism, the 1st
person theory.
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.
Frank Wilzeks paper describes splitting of particle mass degeneracys
through what Wilzek terms symmetry obstruction, which involves
interruption of the ground state vacuums self interaction.
Is there any fundamental difference in the nature of proof of existence
vs. proof of nonexistence in mathematics?
Since possibility and
actuality are indistinguishable in mathematics and logic, it seems selfcontradictory to construct a nonexistence proof in mathematics.
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,

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 = mc2. 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 back reaction to the
altered vacuum quantum statistics constituting a gravitational field.
This phenomenon reminds one of the distinction in quantum field theory
between dressed and undressed electron mass.

uninformed. There are two views concerning this, namely that the
advanced industrialized countries who possess myriad and great

What physical quantity connected with virtual 3-momentum fluctuations

current density (or some other function of the density) of virtual 3momentum fluctuations directly correlates with an objects relativistic
inertial mass, then we are tempted to say that inertial mass is directly
connected with a mass total binding energy.

There was something about the way gravitational tidal forces damped
the quantum coherence of the human neural network which contributed
to the stability of the human psyche (see reducing valve/tuning amplifier
September 2001
model of human thought and perception).
Without the
dampening field of gravitational tidal forces, which had been ever
present throughout the early evolution of the primate brain, that is, all
along up to and past that crucial juncture in the evolution of the hominid
brain at which nature serendipitously hit upon a capability for tuning
the tubulin dimers of the brains microtubule network to certain
quantum resonant spectra of the immense reservoir of information
signals residing within the quantum vacuum electromagnetic field, there
would no longer be anything standing in the way to prevent the
accumulation of relic information signals, c.f., within the brains
microtubule network, c.f, cit=The Presence of the Past (au=Sheldrake) and
also the Tuscon II conference procedings (au=Hameroff). These
accumulations of extraneous information signals would do a number of
new things unforeseen by the forces of epigenetic adaptation and natural
selection : they would extend the temporal bubble of the specious
present in unfamiliar directions within the 2d time plane and perhaps
higher dimensional temporal hypersurfaces (volumes), and they would
interfere with the normal 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 significantly improved understanding of the
fundamental quantum processes underlying human consciousness, it is
highly unlikely that mankind shall ever establish a significant presence
outside the solar system of his home planet, much less explore the star
systems beyond, c.f, remarks of Ilot Simone on the initial scientific
expedition to Proxima Centauri and the mutiny of its crew after

Rhetoric is to Logic what Skinnerian is to Adlerian Psychology.

Rhetoric is even more important to democratic republics than to the
totalitarian state. This is because only a tiny percentage of the voting
public possesses sufficient knowledge and judgment with which to
intelligently cast his/her vote. So then the real mechanism underlying
the functioning of democracy is contrary to the democratic spirit. It is
in a word, the manipulation of the permanently uninformed and
unintelligent masses to enlist their voting power in the largest blocks
possible. Censorship is practiced in post-industrial democracies far
more subtly than it ever was in the Soviet Union or Communist China,
that is to say at the printing press, but is now practiced in these free and
democratic, capitalist regimes at the level of consciousness, at the level
of the first or root formation of ideas. So a message that is oft repeated,

politics is not borne within any media conduit but comes with an
acquisitive and impassioned auto-didacticism in combination with the
assiduous application of original thought, moral courage and sound
judgment. And then it is usually best to keep ones revelations to

Does not emergent evolution require more than the activation of latent

The Lorentz invariance of the vacuum means that the density of anticorrelated virtual fermion-antifermion pairs along an arbitrarily chosen
axis is transformed in relation to the observers direction of uniform
motion. The transformation of this component of the vacuums particle
current density must be compensated by changes in other components
such that together these components form a conserved, Lorentz invariant
quantity, i.e., momentum-energy.
How can we relate the off-diagonal terms of the stress-momentumenergy tensor, Tik to the offik
describing a quantum system of mutually interacting real and virtual
fermions and bosons?
The three main pillars of modern physics at the beginning o the 21 st
century are quantum mechanics, relativity, and statistical mechanics,
which correspond to Einsteins three seminal papers of 1905. It should
be emphasized here that it is necessary to consider two or more particles
for observing EPR phenomena, since only then does the configuration
space of these particles no longer coincide with that of ordinary

spacetime, c.f., p. 4. (See Conceptual 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 spinproduces 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., cit=arXiv:quantph/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 (cit=arXiv:quant-ph/0204138v4 8 Nov 2002). We do expect a
breakdown of the non-local correlation of spins in the case of nonuniform motion observers.
Heisenbergs energy-time uncertainty principle was also demonstrated
during the course of this experiment [13].
The width /\t2 of the
collapsed signal photon wavepacket, which was measured by means of
the Michelson, satisfied the inequality
/\E2/\t2 >/= hbar/2,
where the energy width /\E2of the collapsed signal photon wavepacket,
was determined by the measured energy width /\E1 of the idler photon,
in order to conserve total energy. Hence, the energy width /\E2 of the
signal photon, which enters into the Heisenberg uncertainty relation (4),
was actually the width /\E1of 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
/\pi 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 anticorrelated 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.

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! November 2014 The
latest conservative estimates (as of 2014) of our probable distance from
the closest communicating extraterrestrial civilization in the galaxy are
approaching something like 4000 light years. Given the inverse-square
fall off of electromagnetic signal strength, it is not at all surprising that
SETI has yet to receive a single extraterrestrial signal. But shouldnt
there be available to us, at least in theory, a reworking of the Drake
Equation in terms of the ratio of the tiny coherent subspectra capable of
supporting integral conscious thought and experience and the overall
fundamental quantum field? On such a view, the intersection of the
Fermi Paradox with the riddle of other minds should be located at
the juncture formed by the interface between a quantum superposition of
alternately resonantly tuned Boltzmann brains within the quantum
vacuum electromagnetic field and the tubulin dimer network of the
human brain. Although the brain is a single unified object one one side
of the coarse-graining boundary of the classical-quantum divide, it is
undoubtedly polyphonic on the other side of this boundary.
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 20th Century into the mature space faring culture is shall have
become in, say, the 40th 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 longlived, 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

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,

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. May

The civilization age Gaussian distribution idea still works even if we
are the only intelligent civilization in the universe. This is because that
probability distribution applies to a quantum superposition of
representations of universes within a larger overarching universe. The
relation of along-with-ness of persons is determined from my side in the
sense of my precisely resonantly tuned consciousness as having been
selected from a field of 10**500 possible, say. The fine tuning for others
is not so exacting because it is only that of behavioral verisimilitude. May

"The civilization that blurts out its existence on interstellar
beacons at first opportunity might be like some early hominid
descending from the trees and calling Here, kitty to a saber-toothed
tiger." - Astronomer Robert Rood, 1981
March 2014

So if intelligent life is widespread in the Universe, as seems

likely, since the bulk of the development of biochemical complexity and
hence evolutionary potential was set in place during the initial billion
year epoch of chemical evolution (necessity) which took place in the
complete absence of the action of natural selection (chance), by for most
extraterrestrial civilizations would have had a multi-billion year head
start on the human race. Of course, whatever informed the infrastructure
for chemical evolution transcends this duality of chance versus
necessity.

Repost from November 2013. . . "For a million years

past, ever since nature first hit upon the appropriate molecular tuning
and filtering circuits for patching into and eavesdropping on the
whisperings of the zero-point quantum field, primitive hominid apes
have been both blessed and cursed with the dim ability to channel and

develop spirits of their own, receiving the benefit of reason, but also the

significantly perturbed individual and collective behavior patterns in the
progenitor hominid breeding population and created altogether novel
natural selective pressures upon the evolving behavioral genetics of
early humankind. But the unfolding development was slow enough
because it was in step and in accord with a natural process for which
evolution had long been preparing those who indeed constituted our
earliest true ancestors. How will new and on the other hand,
precipitously changed, selective pressures on human behavioral genetics

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 3dimensional 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 4momentum 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 fermionantifermion 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. July

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 p0 in the eigenbasis of H, then the elements prr, 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

A fermion gas can either be in a pure quantum state or in a statistical

off-shell virtual bosons?

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

from the relative differences of appearances.

A mass, m0 possesses the same 4-momentum independent of the mass
state of uniform motion. This is what we mean by the spacetime
symmetry of the vacuum.
Luv = [xupv xvpu] u~=v How are we to interpret the off-diagonal
components of our angular momentum tensor, Luv?
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 assertionEnergy 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.
The timelike component of Luv is . . . ? L0v = x0pv xup0 and Lu0 = xup0
x0pu, if u = v = w, Luv = [xw, pw] ~ ihbar
Luv superficially appears to be a 2nd rank tensor, but it can be proved that
Luv only possesses four independent components.
Firstly, the
components along the diagonal are negligible on a macroscopic scale.
Luv takes on tensor characteristics only in the presence of matter. The
conserved 2nd rank tensor, Tuv 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 Tuv 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 [p2c2+ m02c4]
Where p is the 3-momentum and m0c 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, m0. The mass, m0 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
. 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
consciousnesss.

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
\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 of
times at which a particle may be found within a specified region. /\x ~ a
complex superposition places at which a particle may be found during a
specified internal of time.
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 the 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.

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/\px ~ h, the x-momentum uncertainty, /\px
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, /\Ei
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 /\pi 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 permutationalcombinational 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 openended 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 /\pi the particles created and annihilated are virtual bosons;
in the case of /\p0 (/\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

Just as the timescale changes in accordance with changes in the

generalized time uncertainty according to the Heisenberg principle also
does the length scale change in accordance with changes in the
Heisenberg positional uncertainty.

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

But before the mind is set to perform this pattern

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,

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

Some are lucky and through war or other

One only comes to true self knowledge in the face of that

which crushes the soul. One could argue that the self that becomes
thusly known is merely that of a fallen and not victorious self. Similar
remarks apply for the self-knowledge of those who have been tested in
battle. These share a brotherhood whether indeed they fought on the
same or opposite sides of some epic conflict.
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 10123 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. 1026 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-spacetimesymmetric 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 BoseEinstein 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 terms of natural selective pressure against
inbreeding that acts differentially upon the sexes in cultures where
women are plundered during invasions by conquering nomadic tribes

The reason why natural selection 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?
Disease as dis-ease with ease interpreted as grace and disease

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 drivers seat of its substrate
hominid zombie. November 2011 One possible simultaneous solution to the
problem of mind-body dualism and the problem of other minds is to
suppose that we are each and everyone philosophical zombies relative to
each other, that is, to everyone but our own selves. 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

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, e.g., the brain 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=Norretanders The Science of Consciousness
(English 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.
3-momentum exchanges are associated with mechanical causality; pure
imaginary 4-momentum (energy) exchanges, with holistic causality.
This distinction is very similar to that made by au=Aristotle between
efficient and final causes.
Free volition of the agent places the originating point of such an agents
actions altogether outside of the realm of spacetime and momentumenergy (matter-energy). @$Free will cannot be captured by the temporal
evolution of the au=Schrodinger equation of motion, hence the necessity
of freely willed actions triggering wavefunction collapse of systems with
which human agents freely interact.

Is there some fundamental, that is, physically based limit upon the

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.

vrecessioin = H x r
acosmological = dv/dt = dv/dr x dr/dt = H2r
June 2011

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 r2 r1 < 0 and dr/dt < 0 and so acosmological 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.
Compare the concepts of the indifference to the passage of time
with the stability of the ground of the evolutionary process that is utterly
taken for granted by Darwinians.

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 apply to all
human consciousnesss leaves out precisely what is different about that
particular consciousness that makes it what it is distinct from all other
consciousnesss. June 2011 Hence such structures or description can never
be seized upon to solve au=Chalmers hard problem of consciousness!
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 consciousnesss 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
consciousnesss qua substances or at least of their individualized
grounds. One possible nave-seeming solution to the riddle of the
eternal distinctness of invidual consciousnesss 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 contd
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 hypothesis of the local effects of cosmological

expansion.

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.

pointed up by the thus far scientific impossibility of verifiable (nonempathic) telepathy and the logical disjointedness of subjective and

The continuity of the individual consciousness represents a degeneracy,
which is to say a symmetry; the plurality of individual consciousness,
the breaking of this symmetry via interactions constitutive of
consciousness as such, but which play no role underlying and mediating
individual consciousness.
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.
The psychodynamic relating lucid dreaming to clinical depression is

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 nonnegligibly 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 HawkingBekenstein 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
Feynman 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 x1 and antifermion at x2. 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 2, x 1
1, x2). 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. June 2013 The extra
six spatial dimensions of string theory require compactification into
Planck-scale Calabi-Yau manifolds to suggest any connection with
reality as we know it, and this division of the spatial dimensions (into
three large and six small) transforms some of the N = 1 SUSY
gravitational modes in nine large dimensions into a variety of nongravitational bosonic and fermionic vibrations, c.f., cit=Inflationary
Cosmology and the String Universe (au=Bruce L. Gordon, Ph.D.)
^^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, Juv.
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 ~Luv point during rectilinear
acceleration? ~Luv points orthogonally to the x-t plane in the case of 2dimensional spacetime.
It doesnt matter what variable name we

choose to call this 3rd 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 ~Luv 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 ~Luv 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
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 3space 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 zt 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/d
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 fermionantifermion 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 4angular 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 fullblooded 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.

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 openended 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.

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 offdiagonal 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 matterenergy.
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
Symmetry
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 transcendent 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.

"Men asleep, said Heraclitus, live each in his own world, but awake they
live in the same world together. To be awake is nothing but to be
dreaming under control of the object." - George Santayana, The Life of
Reason
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., 10120 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 10120 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 contextdependent, 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.

correction of digitized signals through resetting of parity bits.
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 3rd spatial dimension of the event horizon is
squeezed out. This perhaps suggests that the information of 3dimensional material structures is holographically coded onto a 2surface. 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 2dimensional 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 3momentum 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 consciousnesss 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
consciousnesss is quantum nonlocality, transcending as QL does the
individuating categories of space and time. You and I cannot both be
unique consciousnesss 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 nondefinability 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 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, exstend, 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 or 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 consciousnesss 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 1st 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.

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 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. 7/4/2006 May

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 huntergatherer 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 autosuggestibility), 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 ontoepistemological 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.7/4/2006

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.7/4/2006
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 Gdels 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 Gdel
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 consciousnesss be just as mutually irreconcilable
and incommensurate as is the volition of distinct individuals? 7/4/2006
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. December 2011 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? (au=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 Observerdependence 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 +
6
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 selfconsciousness 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 selfconsciousness 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 selfexperimentation, 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
consciousnesss 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 selfpreservation program is fundamentally what might be called antinecrophilic (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 selfvalidation, 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 selfrepresentation. 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 2nd 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?)?
. . . and it has been traditional in flat space QFT to simply ignore the
overall net zero and only ask questions about excitations, c.f.,

However k1 for a massive vector is calculated by adding k 1 for a
minimally coupled scalar to k1 for a massless vector.
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 2nd language distantly but not completely unrelated to ones native
language, e.g., an American learning Albanian. Is the mechanism of 2 nd
language acquisition of a fundamentally different nature from that by
which ones 1st language was acquired?
The condition of E0 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-PodolskyRosen (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 cocreation, 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.

any possible subspace of tried and tested sequences. Teleology of
providence/intelligent design at work, or at least in the molecular

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 consciousnessprocesses 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 2nd 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., semiclassical 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 Feynman 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-entropyinformation. 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 momentumenergy.
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 spacelikeseparated, 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. October 2013 epi= Consciousness is an example
par excellence of a case of one lifting oneself by one's own bootstraps.
Were one to *per impossible* explain or give an adequate analysis of
consciousness, then this would be to have performed this impossible feat
*twice*. Your coming to be was indeed an event, but more

fundamentally, it was an act. How should one's conception of the

meaning of existence change in light of this realization?
@$

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

Gods dispensational plan.

Genetic nucleotide bases were hit upon by molecular evolution

advantageous genetic base-pair sequences from which Evolution might
choose in order to meet the requirements of an ever-changing
environment than would the operation of chance and natural selection
alone. Although it is of course natural for modern, as opposed to
postmodern, thinkers to assume this. This is on account of the
characteristic filtering of conscious intention which powers the
narrowing focus of the problem-solving intellect. If there is an actor
behind every act, then the principle of limitation, embodied in the old
adage about one not being able to lift oneself by ones own bootstraps is
unavoidable. If, however, we admit that acts or actions can be effected
wholly in the absence of an actor, this limitation is removed. 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,

which had evolved in a not altogether similar environment . So

the application of intelligence is not to be glimpsed or sought in any
ongoing directed interference with the working out of the underlying
genetic mechanisms of biological evolution, but rather in the

implementing of a linguistic kernel in the form of the development of

genetic bases along with a stable (but not too stable) means of stringing
together and modulating the proteomic, enzymatic and regulatory
expression of genetic base pair sequences.
The tiny subspace is tinkered with which gives information to the semiinfinite leveraged subspace of base pair sequences, which then
processes 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.
epi=fcbk=@$
Admitting hidden variables, i.e., local interactions would
permit physical explanation to be embroiled in an infinite regress of
physical explanation. September 2013 It seems that nonlocality is Gods way
of simultaneously side-stepping both the contradiction of creation ex
nihilo and the reductio ad adsurdam of an infinite regress of creation
solo propter causam.
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 au=Ayn Rand noted, no
intellectual discovery is ever made by the collective. A counterexample
to this notion might be au=Daniel Klempners comment that kwo=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., cit=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.

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? @$C.f., Quantum Mysteries
Disentangled by au=Erann Gat and the discussion of how classically
correlated states of Shannon information entropy 0 emerge from
quantum correlated states of quantum information entropy 1 through
the act of quantum measurement.
Causal connections may perhaps only be alternately described in terms
of classical correlations of quantum fluctuations resulting from
interaction of an observer with the quantum correlations of these
fluctuations.
This would imply that consciousness is associated not with any
particular quantum state of the brain of the observer but with the
underlying brain processes giving the observer the capacity to bring a
system other than his own brain into quantum resonance with the
quantum state of his own brain. Quantum resonance of two systems
requires that both systems be in quantum coherent states.
The first
system, the system that is the subject of quantum measurement is only
coherent incidentally or passively, while the system performing the
measurement of the first system is quantum coherent through an active
feedback process. epi=prn=@$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 backwardpropagating 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 2nd 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 backreact 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 post0
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.

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

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 Gdel 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.
@$ epi=

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. In other words, there can be no intersubjective
determination of reason or what constitutes it.
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 selfaware 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 consciousnesss effected through the splitting of the
degeneracy of general or universal consciousness?
Is the difference of individual consciousnesss 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 socalled 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 consciousnesss 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 43rd 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 43rd 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 Planckcoherent 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.
Picture Kauffmans rugged fitness landscapes in which high peaks
separated by deep valleys represent . . .
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
December 2011
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 selforganizing properties of atoms and molecules, which pushed the
evolution of biological complexity forward prior to the advent of a unit
of heredity, e.g., primitive 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 an admittedly sparse fossil record of speciestransitional 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 relatively small time

bubble of the "specious present" as well as a grounded, contextualized

consciousness (self + other minds + world +/- God), biological evolution
must involve higher dimensions of temporal change, which defy any
possible causal analysis. September 2013 The genomes and in turn the
phenomes reaction to the inadvertent changes to the molecular structure
of DNA and chromatin due to random environmental insults, e.g.,
cosmic ray strikes seems analogous to how random elements such as
external sounds can be readily incorporated into scenes within an
unconscious persons dream. There is the creative ground of the
dreamers subconscious that must be primed or prepared in some way to
respond to unanticipated changes of input.
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 spacetime2) 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 cyberaddress) 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. October
2013
If neural computation and encoding of information actually takes
place at the level of tubulin dimer protein electron currents and
electromagnetic fields such that the brain's activity at this level is at least
in part quantum nonlocal, then the principles of quantum entanglement
and conservation of quantum information applied to the above drawn
analogy suggest that the brain's memory "weblinks" do not need to have
any local presence, but may be encoded nonlocally in the fundamental
quantum field or at least in the bandwidth subspectrum of this field
corresponding to a particular individual's consciousness. The possibility
of the reprocessing of the data of individual human experience into
larger transhuman or transpersonal meanings would then require a
rationality of the underlying fundamental quantum field or quantum
vacuum. October 2013 Invoking the cloud computing model, each individual
consciousness is capable of accessing local data stored within its brain
qua device, as well as accessing nonlocal information qua cloud.
Each individuals consciousness would be structured by only the data
and information contained within its own device and cloud,
respectively. The individualized cloud provides the context for the
interpretation of local data. The cloud in contradistinction would be
unified although open-ended and so in some sense infinite. On this

model there would be an unlimited number of available infinite

subspectrums of information bandwidth to support the operation of each
transfinite or universal mind. The question arises how all universal
minds fit into the category of mind.
In multiverse cosmological theory, the number of possible
universes vastly outstrips the number of possible distinct human brains by
perhaps 10**100 or more. According to the anthropic cosmological
principle, applied to multiverse theory, the fine tuning of the dozen or so
fundamental physical constants, e.g., Bohr magneton, electron charge, mass,
fine structure constant, magnetic permittivity, etc. for compatibility of a
universe with Carbon-based life would be very much less restrictive than it
would have to be to fine tune for the emergence of any given individual
consciousness. So say, Carbon-based life would require fine tuning of these
constants to six decimal places, which Ziad, Mike or Chris-based life,
i.e., their consciousnesss would require perhaps fine tuning up to 12
decimal places or more! For example, Ziad made it here, so obviously the
June 2014 eml=

physical constants must have been fine tuned to the greater of the two in
precision. But here is the catch...the lesser precision of fine tuning required
for Carbon-based life is automatically present just by rounding off the much
greater precision required for Ziad's mind to exist. So if Ziad exists, then
everybody else comes along for the ride as human manifestations in Ziad's
world, but the above fine tuning requirements for other minds are always
less restrictive, e.g., 8 decimal places, and automatically come along for the
ride (as "also rans" from the necessary rounding down of Ziad's higher
physical constant fine tuning precision requirement of 12 decimal places).
November 2014 eml=If

the fundamental physical constants must be tweaked to 6

decimal places to have made Carbon-based possible in this Universe, to 8
decimal places to have made creatures of the order Mammalia possible, 9
for the genus Homo, 10 for Homo Sapiens and 12 for your particular brain,
then for whom was the Universe "designed" and who is merely along for
the ride (as an "also ran")? Hint: you don't "round up" to a higher number
of decimal places, you round down! :p The logic of the Anthropic
Cosmological Principle is merely an application and approximation of the
much more stringent principle: the Solipsistic Cosmological Principle. This
is the problem that I have with multiverse theory as the latest means or

"explaining away" this Universe's extremely low initial entropy. Boltzmann

brains may not indeed be popping into the quantum vacuum of spacetime
on account of the Planck mass energy upper limit on vacuum energy
fluctuation size (c.f., Roger Penrose's "one graviton" limit), *but they are
absolutely necessary as vacuum fluctuations within the initial and
boundary conditions upon the quantum field represented by *already
existing mammalian brains* - the unity and coherence of conscious mental
states appears to demand the quantum nonlocality of these Boltzmann
brains as the only reliable source of the instantaneous quantum nonlocal
connectivity of the integrated, unified temporality of the self conscious
mind, which is manifested by each "time bubble" of the "specious present"
within which each of us lives the waking dream of human existence.
Clearly there is something wrong with multiverse theory and its
attached anthropic cosmological principle, which is the latest weapon in
the New Atheists' arsenal of Christian critique. But the critique of universal
mind comes at a very high cost...a reductio ad absurdum of our common
sense notion of other minds. This is especially true since, without a
coherent concept of or general category of consciousness such that each of
our minds can be distinct instantiations of mind, the reality of other minds
only makes sense if consciousness is a transcendental concept in a
Universal Mind. It turns out that atheism is just half-baked solipsism. So
the only reason to not be a solipsist if one is already an atheist (given that
one has only ever known one's own sensory and cognitive states) is an
irrational one of not following the logic of atheism to its very sad, logical
conclusion!

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 ones 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. October 2013 epi=Arent metaphysics and ethics richer and the
appearance of novelty in the realm of Existence less hollow, if Being is a
Many rather than a One? Does Evil then become a kind of dystopian
rationality of unintended consequences, rather than an active or positive
principle of badness?
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 was led by the idea of Man, which constituted
creation, and this was replaced 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, then 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
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 merely one among many
possible timelike components of a 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 stressmomentum-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, Tik 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 nulltransformations 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 lifesustaining
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 Gdels 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.

Only random adjustments on a pre-existing integral whole and

unified machine with a built-in machine language can produce
increasing complexity of representations on that machine. But these will
only be representations and therefore products of a pre-existing mental
substrate. They will not be physically real in the sense of mindindependent structures.
Chance fluctuations only possess order because they are fluctuations
within a system which itself possesses a principle of integral unity and

coherence. Chance fluctuations do not increase the order of the system

but they may appear to create increase the order of representations of or
within the system
There must be an infrastructure which interprets chance configurations
and places them into context
The only way order can arise from chance in the absence of a principle
of cohesiveness or coherence would be if there is some principle of
memory at work which locks in and saves configurations hit upon by
chance.
Randomness cannot explain the integral unity exhibited by systems
possessing coherence and cohesiveness as well as a principle of growth
and differentiation.
The multiverse principle still is not successful in explaining the
necessity for cohesiveness and coherence within at least one of its
branches. The principle which creates must also sustain.

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. October 2013 This is perhaps on account of the radical
symmetry possessed by consciousness. (Here self-existence in the sense
of recursiveness consciousness might well be thought to be a reductio
ad absurdum in the sense of the vanishing point of recursiveness, i.e., the
ultimate bootstrap function.
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.
Gdels 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 Gdels Gdelnumbering procedure.
Computable algorithms, corresponding to
provable theorems would be Gdel-numbered as usual, indexing each
theorem with its uniquely corresponding natural number.
Each
noncomputable program would be Gdel-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 ndimensional 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-connectionobserving, 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 heretoforenotable 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 nonnegative, 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 stressmomentum-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 taken 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? @$ epi=What Gdels theorem shows us, among other
important results is that the thought and the thinker are not and can never
be one and the same. Gdels 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

Gdels 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? August 2013 "The simplest proof of
Cantor's continuum hypothesis that "there is no set whose cardinality is
strictly between that of the integers and that of the real numbers" may lie
well beyond the intellectual capacity of any human mathematician,
though a theorem stating that such a proof indeed *exists* may
nevertheless be easily within the grasp of human mathematicians to
prove, say after someone develops a new set theory based on different
axioms than those of Zermelo-Fraenkel theory."
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 Heisenberguncertain 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 2nd 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-basisindependence, 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
Gdel-incompleteness represented by any and all computer
engineering designs we may contrast what we might term the Bohmcompleteness 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. May 2014 Robert Lanza in
Biocentrism notes that in the absence of the observer a rainbow is at best
a superposition of trillions of distinct rainbows. The unobserved rainbow

here reminds us of a vast quantum superposition, which collapses only

once an observer (and a determinate perspective) is supplied.
August 2013

One interpretation of wavefunction collapse is to adopt a

middle-of-the road approach by saying that it is neither the physical
interaction or interference of the physical measuring device with the
photon or electron passing through the double-slit apparatus, nor is it the
mysterious consciousness of the observer that induces wavefunction
collapse, but merely the creation or of a quantity of information
sufficient to specify the which-way information describing the
trajectory of the quantum particle through the double-slit. But the critical
configuration of apparatus and measuring instruments must somehow be
registered as a definite context of measurement. Erasure of this crucial
quantum information makes this information suddenly unavailable in the
future to what or to whom such that the collective behavior of electrons
or photons at the phosphorescent screen is probabilistic1 or
probabilistic2? Probabilistic1 is the classical probability (probability
born of a mere ignorance of initial and boundary conditions), while
probabilistic2 is the proper quantum probability (in which the initial
and boundary conditions are fundamentally uncertain).
The fact that superluminal signals may pass through the Heisenberguncertain 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 2nd 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
consciousnesss 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

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 allencompassing 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.

Cantor proved the existence of large transfinite cardinals

which cannot be derived from smaller transfinite cardinals. Had Frege,
Hilbert, Russell and Whitehead succeeded in building their "Tower of
Babel", they might have stormed and laid waste to the Platonic heaven
and thusly escaped from Plato's Cave. They failed. And nobody smarter
than them has been born since. The Platonic heaven remains secure and

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 Gdelian 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 consciousnesss.
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
Gdelian 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 Gdels 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 that is merely 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?

dont understand it clearly myself. Nobody does, c.f., The Sleeper
Awakens (1899) by H. G. Wells. <societal holism>

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
brain 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 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. September 2014 What for Bertrand Russell is
the so-called "external world", c.f., the problem of the existence of other
minds and the external world, would have to be the outermost world,
that is, the outermost layer moving outward from the self. The notion of
the multiverse complicates those question because it complexifies the
connectivity or topology of what was heretofore a simple dichotomy.
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**2N 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**2N 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
N
entanglement of the brains 2**2 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. May 2011 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
experiment overcome this threat of
probing in the other direction, that is,
metaphorical structures forming the
constructed self?

above perhaps misguided brain

infinite regress by so to speak
in the direction of @$undoing the
basic elements of the socially

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.

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 Gdels 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. November 2014 A
Boltzmann brain could not pass the Turing Test (TT), but a carefully
entangled mass of BBs could pass the TT. Quantum nonlocal
connectivity does not take into account temporality and the limitation on
propagation speed of whatever process is mediating all of the
interactions within the cybernetic system. Temporality and causality are
supplied by the initial and boundary conditions upon the nonlocally
connected quantum field (vacuum) that is in turn grounded in a real,
preexisting physical brain, itself dynamically embedded in some
causally connected local spacetime. In addition to being the reducing
valve of Aldous Huxley, the brain can now be additionally understood
as an evolutionary mechanism for the entanglement of and, better still,
for exploiting the entanglement of Boltzmann brains that are already
integrated (unified) within the global quantum vacuum field. The
contextualized information encoded in each Boltzmann brain is
recontextualized upon its external timelike entanglement with other

spontaneously arising BBs by way of the action of the really existing

brain, which provides the template enabling the appearance of a class of
more highly integrated BBs, c.f, vacuum fluctuation probability
distillation (FPD) In absolute time, the fluctuation probabilities are
determined by the global vacuum field, but the filtering and distillation
of fluctuation probabilities enabled and effected by the human brain shift
the spectrum of Heisenberg energy uncertainties and so the characteristic
time constants. Due to a number of issues discussed below, Boltzmann
machines with unconstrained connectivity have not proven useful for
practical problems in machine learning or inference, but if the
connectivity is properly constrained, the learning can be made efficient
enough to be useful for practical problems, c.f., Wikipedia article,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boltzmann_machine. The question naturally
arises in this connection whether the preexisting quantum entanglement
in the global quantum vacuum (as opposed to that of preexisting,
coherent Boltsmann brains, i.e., virtual brains) influences neural
plasticity at least at the microtubule or tubulin dimer level, which in
turn should lead to some level of feedback between the global quantum
field and the fluctuation probability spectrum for Boltzmann brains in
this vacuum through the above mechanism of fluctuation probability
distillation.
Zenon Pylyshyn 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

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

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 Gdels theorem.

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.

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?

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

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

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.
http://www.scribd.com/doc/222478894/The-Origins-of-Order-Stuart-aKauffman 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 consciousnesss - 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.

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? February 2013 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?
February 2013

March 2014

Methodological solipsism is the epistemological thesis that the

individual self and its states are the sole possible or proper starting
point for philosophical construction (Wood, 295). A skeptical turn
along these lines is Cartesian skepticism.
Methodological solipsism is the thesis that the mental properties
or mental states of an organism can be individuated exclusively on

the basis of that state or property's relations with other internal

states of the organism itself, without any reference to the society or
the physical world in which the organism is embedded.
The second definition was promoted by Jerry Fodor (1980). He later
went on to distinguish this thesis from another that he
called methodological individualism. Fodor's motivation for introducing
these concepts into the philosophical (and now psychological) lexicon
was the need to defend some sort of internalist conception of the mental
from the problems posed by the famous "Twin Earth" thought
experiment of Hilary Putnam. Very briefly, the question is whether it is
possible for two people, one living in the actual world where water is
H2O and the other living in some possible world (Twin Earth)
where water has all the same qualities of our water but is actually
composed of XYZ, to have the same beliefs (or other propositional
attitudes) about water. The externalist says that this is not possible,
while the internalist insists that it is. Fodor defines methodological
solipsism as the extreme position that states that the content of
someone's beliefs about, say, water has absolutely nothing to do with the
substance water in the outside world, nor with the commonly accepted
definition of the society in which that person lives. Everything is
determined internally. Moreover, the only thing that other people have to
go on in ascribing beliefs to someone else are the internal states of his or
her physical brain. In contrast, Fodor defines methodological
individualism
as
the
view
that
mental
states
have
a semantically evaluable characterthat is, they are relational states.
The relation that provides semantic meaning can be a relation with the
external world or with one's culture and, so long as the relation produces
some change in the causal power of a mental state, it can be considered
to
be
a
partial
determinant
of
that
state,

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-Gdelizes 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 selfparody 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 Gdelian consistency and incompleteness permit us to gain

greater insight into how the mechanisms of out-Gdelization 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.
May 2011
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
2nd 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 2nd 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 Huncertainties 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 momentumenergy. 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

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
May 2011
conventionally agreed to treat as bona fide concepts.
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.

The "softer" the science (for example, physics is "harder"

than chemistry, which is harder than biology, etc.), the more likely do its
seminal breakthroughs arise from the application of faulty reasoning.
The history of the development of the soft sciences is the largely
revisionistic.
The first 80% of evolution of life on Earth took place entirely within
realm of bacteria. @$Could there be a deep connection between the
multiplexer problem of perception and the redundancy in the survival
value of successful bacterial genetic base-pair sequences, which are
incorporated again and again in progressively more complex life forms?
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 socalled 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.

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 Gdels 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 4dimensional 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.

Look at how all of Kants Antimonies from the Critique are

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. Psicollapse 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 Gdel-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 stimulusresponse 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 Gdel 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>

to x-y plane: time vs. space
Gravity analogues in terms of relating real vs. virtual, real vs. imaginary,

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

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 spacefaring 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 motionmotion 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., nonadiabatic 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 2nd 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 are 3-hypersurfaces
of (2 + 1) spacetime geometry. And so the angular momentum vector
orthogonal to this 3-hypersurface. Reexamine the formula, Ju2 = Lu2 +
Su2 = L12 + L22 + L32 + S2. The formula from standard quantum
mechanics is Ju2 = Lu2 + Su2 + L*S.
The small deviations from Keplers 2nd Law of Motion, to wit, that the
planets orbit about the sun 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, Juv) in which the @$
4angular momentum vector, Ju always points orthogonally to the tangent
space 3-hypersurface (tangent to the curvature of spacetime at the
spacetime coordinate of Ju.
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

This is much like the relationship of ones recognition and
working vocabularies.
One important attribute of consciousness is that it is completely selfinterpenetrating, 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. June 2011 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 grown too
complicated to regulate itself, c.f., (James, 1890/1983, p. 141).

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
= (1 - 2)-1/2

and = v/c.

/\t increases as /\E decreases as mass relativistically increases as /\px

increases as /\x decreases. @$Increases in /\p are associated with

increased current density of spin-1 vector boson exchanges mediating
relativistically increased binding energies, i.e., mass.
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.

A photon of E = /\EH(n=1,2) x (1 GM/RC2) would excite a Hydrogen

This is the simple solution to the so-called reflected redshift paradox.

Two space travelers begin accelerating toward each other at the same

frames and so see each others time passing at the same rate, or does the
mutual acceleration add relativistically and each sees the other rate of
temporality as sped up or slowed down? The causality principle alone
should be able to qualitatively decide this.

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/autosuggestion, 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 a pilot is outfitted with upside-down
goggles and successfully flies a plane while wearing them due to his
brain having undergone a spontaneous conversion of its constructed
visual field to a right-side-up orientation.
It has been remarked that people come to look like their cars, or look

Initial conditions are just a special sort of boundary conditions, that is to
say, a so-called beginning of time is merely a quantum vacuum
boundary condition.
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 transsubjective 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

When theory is being creatively extended, concepts are utilized

A component of angular momentum may be defined in two distinct
ways, as the product of linear momentum and a displacement (lever

Natural selection has been graced with an infrastructure of order

institutionalized long before the emergence of the first reproducing,
information bearing and expressing molecules first arose. In the same
manner that a sculptures creation comes into being via the careful
removal of unneeded components, so have complex biological forms
arisen under the sculpting hands of natural selection applied to a higher
and more general order in its bringing about artifacts at once simpler and
more specific.
Is biological evolution to be likened to say, the evolution of
mathematics, that is, to the development in the manner of expressing a

tiny specific subset of preexistent potentialities.

Or does the
evolutionary process back-react in a significant way upon its open-ended
ground or dynamical substrate.
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 space not an objective feature of reality but
merely a form or mode of human intuition.
Cascaded coherent effects of mutation requires that the gene regulatory
network (GRN) mutate in a way implying a deep underlying connection
between the mutual relatedness of body components, of the whole
organism to its environment both be reflected in the mutual relatedness
of genes within the GRN. @$The evolution of the GRN reflects the
evolution of the entire biosphere in other words, not just that of an
individual species.
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.
Gdel-numbering
procedure may be capable of being generalized. The programming of a
digital computer is a concrete example of Gdel-numbering.
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, in other words, somehow constituted by the

Circular angular momentum becomes elliptical, eccentric, i.e., circular

3-angular momentum is conserved by increasing v and mass staying

Case 4) is interesting here because in 3 dimensions, precession means a

cyclic change in the orientation of a rotating objects moment of inertia
(either with or against L), c.f.,
L j = ik. k
ik is the angular momentum tensor. However, in 4 dimensions this
cyclic change in the orientation is only observable as precession within a
plane in 3 dimensions.
How can the presence of a gravity field affect the Lorentz force?
Is the connection between binding energy and gravitational mass really
so simple as conservation of vacuum fluctuation 4-momentum?
This can only be the case if the exchanged 3-momentum of virtual

bosons can be unified with the creation and annihilation of virtual

Cooper pairs (energy fluctuations) as the basis of the timelike
momentum of matter. E = icc mvdv = mc2 seems to almost by itself
guarantee this.
And this together with the fact that objective
fluctuations of energy combined with subjective quantum uncertainties
in energy constitute an observed bodys energy and the case seems still
stronger.
Quantum correlations existing between systems A and B prevent the
factorization of AB, the wavefunction of the combined system, into the
product A x B.
Spin ~ internal length + internal linear momentum.
Is a spin vector better described in terms of a 1-form than a 1st rank
tensor? If both of the degrees of freedom of spin are internal, then how

Clearly then one of the two degrees of freedom of spin must be spatial,
i.e., xu, generally, xI, given a specified reference frame.
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 generalized gravitational
field, the helicity and direction of photon motion are not parallel. This
means the photon possesses a moment of inertia and hence a small mass.
What is observed in Stern-Gerlach experiment when relativistic spin
particles are used?
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>.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gambler%27s_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 1st and 2nd kind), parallel
transport, geodesic deviation, and so on is derived from the metric
tensor, gik. 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
the Einstein field equations machinery 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., 8piGTuv, <8piGTuv>? That is to say,
it is how the spontaneous fluctuations in quantum vacuum momentumenergy 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.
A medium possessing both rationality and emergent (as opposed to
permutational and combinational) creativity. The rationality of DNA is
pointed up by the property of the robust integrability of two (and

possibly three or more in the case of mitochondrial DNA donated by a

third parties) gene sequences, i.e., sexual reproduction. What we are
speaking of here is a 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 an ideal fulfillment of the ancient
Greek question, how can the many be (become) one and the one be

/\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.,
Ljk = xjpk
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

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

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/R3, 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)

we may write,
(/\

\P0/(/\x//\x0)3 = /\p therefore

\E0(/\t//\t0) = /\E,

where /\t /\x/c and /\x/\p h; /\t/\E h

(when would we use the /\t ~ /\x/c relation?) (nonrelativistic QM?)
/\x and /\t form a relativistic or spacetime rectangle, i.e., /\x2 + /\t2 + k12
+ k22 = /\s2 with k1, k2 = plates rectangular dimensions.
The above is a plausibility argument for an inverse quartic variation of
the x-momentum uncertainty, /\px of the Casimir plates.
An alternative way to invoke /\t would be to take the inverse cubically
varying /\px and show that /\px = /\pxc/c = /\Ex/c =
\px= /\Ex/)(/\x//\t) (the physical interpretation of /\t (above) and /\t`
are quite different)
\px = /\Fx/\t (/\s cancel) If /\px is, as stated earlier cubically
decreasing with increasing /\x, then we may assert that Fx(/\x)
Fx(/\x0)/(/\x//\x0)4
where Fx(/\x0) reads simply as force in the x-direction on the Casimir
plates at plate separation /\x0, and so on. To render the two utilizations
of /\t, i.e., /\t and /\t` above we might have to interpret /\Ex as the
component of the energy uncertainty, /\E owing to the uncertainty in /\p
along the x-direction (i.e., due to /\px).
This interpretation of /\Ex 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).
relations.

This implies the unusual-looking set of uncertainty

/\x/\px h
/\t(/\Ex + /\Ey + /\Ez) h (or perhaps /\tx/\Ex h, etc.,
where by /\tx is meant the time uncertainty of processes involving /\x
uncertain events, and so on.
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).
Concerning the Schrdinger Cat Paradox, c.f., hep-ph/0206103 v2 31 Jul
2002, it may be avoided by positing the following principle:
ab {} if either a or b {}.
{[a {}] v {[b {}]} ab {}.
In other words, although the cyanide dispensing apparatus may exist in a
superposition state, (a + b), there can be no superposition, (ab0 + ab1)
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 3hypersurfaces (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 1010 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 sense (opposite) as the
inducted change in permittivity. Which is it?
A strong magnetic field decreases the density of magnetic moments of
the vacuum, i.e., reduces the vacuums magnetization due to antiparallel
aligning of virtual e- with virtual e+s.
The local vacuum magnetic
permeability is in this way reduced.

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 (electronpositron 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

Propagation of light in a conducting medium. The principle of special
and general relativity must remain valid for propagation of light through

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 Bfield).

As B-field grows, e+e- pairs begin to align antiparallel, decreasing the
vacuums susceptibility to further magnetization, hence decreasing
magnetization, hence decreasing u0, in turn leading to an increase in
clocal, 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.

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.

Once quantum computing technology matures enough for computing

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

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.
cit=

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> <cv>; cv = c for local vacuum.

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 Pauliblocking 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 nongravitational 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,
/\p1 ~ 5000h

and /\p2 ~ 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.

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 selfinteraction 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

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 velocity of photons created
spontaneously from the vacuum, i.e., virtual photons, <vavg> = c.

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.

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 momentumstress-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 onegraviton 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.

@$

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/c2) 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. 092514 A null interval is an interval for which the
events can be connected by something traveling at the speed of light. For
example, the interval between an eruption on the Suns photosphere and
a lightning strike in Tallahassee, 8 minutes 20 seconds later, is null
because these two events can be connected by a light ray.
A null
interval is given by ds2 = c2dt2 dx2 = 0.A null interval is so called
because its value is always zero. That is, for a light ray, the spacetime
separation between any two events is always zero!, c.f.,

Special relativity requires a definition of 4-angular momentum that is
consistent with this theorys definition of linear 4-momentum, pu and
spacetime interval, ds2. Consistent with these definitions of relativistic
physical quantities are those of relativistic 4-force Fu 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 = Lu is defined
as possessing four components while spin, S = Sj is defined in terms of
three spacelike component vectors.
Quantities not possessing gauge invariance do not possess any absolute
physical meaning. In a gravitational potential, the xu and pu are only
approximately orthogonal in their components. Moreover, xu and pu are
only approximately parallel.

The sum of the squares of the 4-momentum is not a conserved quantity,

Energy, E
possesses both spacelike and timelike components, i.e., kinetic (external)
and potential (internal) components of motion. If through 4-momentum
conservation the sum total of internal and external motion constitutes a
conserved total quantity of motion, then the effects of matter upon
spacetime and of spacetime upon matter may be more intuitively
conceptualized through the equation, E = mc2 in which m represents
the quantity of bound, recursive and internal motion, while c 2
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 4momentum fluctuations). C.f., telephone conversation with Greg Marcotte on 28 June 2003 at

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.

One way to effect this type of transformation of the quantum vacuum

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 4potential represented by the vacuum energy density timelike gradient.
The tunneling rate of rest masses is affected (decreased) by the interparton 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,
fdeBroglie 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 4th 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 Tuv. Creation-annihilation of
bosons and fermions provides a rich enough structure to accommodate
the current density gradients.

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

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

According to Bohm (1951), local causal interactions with any quantum

relative to a wavefunction or density matrix description of such a

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 lookback 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.
General linear transformations of the 2nd rank momentum-energy tensor
of general relativity do necessarily conserve 4-momentum, rather GR

conserved.
What is the physical significance of a 4x4 matrix that diagonalizes Tuv

Quantum statistics breaks down and Lorentz invariance along with it
long before a photon ensemble of any given electromagnetic frequency
achieves Planck DeBroglie wavelength.
Although the binding energy of a diatomic molecule is small in
comparison to the mass energy of the molecule, the DeBroglie
wavelength of the molecule is h/(m1 + m2)v and not h/m1v + h/m2v. 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.
Decreasing density of correlated virtual photons represents a decrease in
information density. What are the implications of treating the observers
light cone as an event horizon the light cone possesses a 3hypersurface for an event horizon. Time variation of vacuum energy
density causes some real particle production @$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). @$ However, this neat complementary relationship does
not hold within a curved spacetime. Light follows a curved path
(geodesic) instead of being merely blue or red-shifted. Four vectors in
flat space no longer represented conserved quantities becoming
subsumed within 2nd rank tensors, e.g., 3-momentum and energy are no
longer conserved as a four vector because subsumed within the 2 nd rank
tensor of stress-momentum-energy. This is similar to how a pure
wavefunction transforms into a density function (density matrix) within
a curved spacetime, i.e., the wavefunction decoheres within a curved
spacetime, and this is despite Psi inhabiting Hilbert Space instead of

spacetime. Higher order correlations arise than those of connecting

fluctuations in mere 3-momentum and energy. Is the spin-2 graviton
merely due to 2nd order correlations of vacuum momentum-energy
fluctuations?
Casimir light velocity experiments lend support to the velocity of light
formula, cloc = c2vacuo/p.
For example, if the Casimir plates are
oriented perpendicular to the x-axis, then the x-momentum uncertainty
will be decreased in that all x-momentum fluctuations of halfwavelength greater than the plates separation are excluded from between
the plates. In turn the energy density within the plates is increased.
Think of virtual photon exchanges within a crystal lattice as the
momental component of the total density of vacuum energy fluctuations.
Tuv is a conserved quantity and so in flat spacetime,
pvac = vac
And in a spherically symmetric gravitational field the quantity (mass +
vacuum ) is independent of the strength of gravitational potential. Also,
in a spherically symmetric field the quantity [vac2 + pvac2] is invariant.
In a potential possessing less than spherical symmetry only the tensor
density Tuv (representing the density of stress-momentum-energy) is
conserved.
With an increased density of real fermions there is a reduced density of
virtual fermions and an increased density of virtual bosons in the
quantum vacuum.
It follows that in a gravitational potential a propagating photon spends
relatively more of its spacetime trajectory in the form of a photon of
electromagnetic radiation and relatively less in the form of an e+e- virtual
pair.

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.

It is interesting to consider the difficulties posed by the

absence of dead reckoning over interstellar distances. Communication
via tight beam transmissions (necessary because of the prohibitive
power requirements of a broadcast over interstellar distances) would
be a hit or miss affair at best. Muslims residing on a planet in another
star system would have no way of determining how to reliably face
Mecca during prayer. January 2012 Using an analogy and subtracting one
dimension and introducing the admissibility of absolute time, we could
say that using so-called dead reckoning to send a tight beam
transmission or direct a spacecraft to a distant star is just as if it were not
possible for someone to send a straight shot communication signal

through the Earth in order to communicate with someone located beyond

the horizon of the Earths curvature, e.g., shooting a modulated neutrino
beam through the planet in order to communicate 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 possible to calculate this point on the celestial sphere.
The crystalline lattice-like structure of the quantum vacuum, composed
of a coupled harmonic oscillator network undergoes discrete transitions
in momentum and energy, which are described within the occupation
number formalism in terms of quanta creation and annihilation
operators, a+ and a. This means that momentum fluctuations are a
function of discrete transitions in momenta 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 fermionantifermion 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 a hypersurface with
positive curvature.
/\px opposes /\x, etc. and /\E opposes /\t although /\px must be

/\E altered independently through the breaking of spacetime symmetry
by the deforming effect of real particles and fields upon the quantum
statistics of the quantum vacuum. So curved space in the sense of

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.

clocal = DeBroglie/electromagnetic x cvacuo

If electromagnetic varies with changing potential just as does DeBroglie, then

we might try differentiating with respect to space on both sides of the
above equation.

cloc/r = {[DeBr/r]/elec - [DeBr/2elec] x [elec/r]} x cvac

DeBr = h
elec =
cvac = c
cloc = c*
c*/r = {[h/r]/ - [h/2] x [/r]} x c
2c*/r = {[h/r] - h x [/r]} x c

The following equation expresses the gravitational redshift in photon

wavelength in terms of spatial variations in the local velocity of light
and the DeBroglie wavelength.

2c*/r - c[h/r] + hc[/r] = 0

c* = (h/)c

Assume:

(weak field limit)

(DeBr/cloc) = (elec/cloc)

clocal/r = clocal(kDeBroglie, DeBroglie)/r

and

kDeBroglie = DeBroglie
clocal/r = clocal(DeBroglie, DeBroglie)/r
DeBroglie and DeBroglie are functions of the magnitudes of real (virtual)
photon and e+e- number (probability) densities, respectively.
cvacuo is a constant
DeBroglie/r is an independent variable determined by changes in the
relative
magnitudes of real and virtual photon probability densities. clocal/r is
determined by the concerted spatial variation of DeBroglie and fDeBroglie.
Hypothesis:

c* = [DeBroglie/elec] x c

elec is a constant characteristic of the atomic transition in which a

photon
of wavelength elec originates. Let *elec be the redshifted elec originally
emitted from the atom that has undergone a discrete energy transition.
So
we have the following wavelength ratios.
elec/*elec = DeBroglie/elec
The fact that the above ratios are identical in magnitude is of course no
accident, but points to @$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
fermionantifermion 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.,
Hawking radiation, is in the form of fermions with a thermal distribution
of
kinetic energy. The values of both the fermion masses and fermion
velocities make up the kinetic energy of the holes thermally distributed
emissions. What does this imply about the separate mathematical
expressions representing the fermion velocity and mass distributions?
fDeBroglie is determined analogously to the manner by which kDeBroglie is
determined, i.e., by changes in the relative magnitudes of real and virtual

Notice here that equivalence of real particle number densities to virtual
particle probability densities implies that quantum statistics applies
equally to
real and virtual particles and fields.

Assume h/r = /r

(weak field limit)

c*/r = (c/)h/r (ch/2)hr =

c*/r = (c/)h/r[1 - h/)

(with weak field limit assumption)

Since the term c/ refers to the value of c*/h at infinity, i.e., within free
space, we should perhaps think of c/ as being an initial or boundary
condition or, more appropriately, perhaps, as a final condition.
Local physical laws cannot predict initial condition of the universe since
these
conditions had to be determined nonlocally. The same is true of the

conditions,

This permits us to use the symmetry principles of conservation of

probability
(virtual particles and fields) and conservation of stress-momentumenergy
(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.

DeBroglie = electromagnetic/N for the case of N quantum entangled

photons, i.e., photons that possess a mutual quantum correlation of
1.0.

But in the more general case of a gravitational potential what is to serve

the same function as N, the # of correlated photons, in determining the
shifted DeBroglie wavelength of photons within the potential? The
number density of real photons and probability density of virtual
photons is the generalization of N above that shall give us a relationship
between and h, /r and h/r.

c = hkelectromagnetic/hkDeBroglie x cvacuo
Eelectromagnetic = pelectromagnetic x cvacuo
pDeBroglie = hkDeBroglie
So c = Eelectromagnetic/pDeBroglie

Eelectromagnetic is characteristic of atomic transitions taking place within

the potential.
pDeBroglie is a function of quantum entanglement
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-momentumenergy 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 +
Ebinding/Emass), that is, by a factor of (1 + GM/Rc2) (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, ctimelike = cspacelike.
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 20th, 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. [c2/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/Rc2) (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 106.
This relative difference in energy density is approximately 10 106
Joules/m3!
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/c2 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 particleantiparticle pairs that is increased by the factor (1 + GM/Rc 2). Via the
Pauli exclusion principle, the number density of virtual fermionantifermion 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
wavelength at distance r1 from the Sun is |1|2(boson) and at distance r2 is
2
2
2
|2|2(boson), where |2|2(boson)
1| (boson). |1| (boson) and |2| (boson) are the 3momentum components of the 4-momentum current density at r1 and r2,
respectively. |1|2(fermion-antifermion) and |2|2(fermion-antifermion) are the timelike
components of this 4-momentum current density at r1 and r2,
respectively.
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/pvirtual boson)c2 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/Rc2) 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(r) = pc2/

eqn. (2)

So how are we to reconcile equation (2) with equation (1)?

According to the Pauli and Bose quantum statistical principles, equation
(2) should be rewritten as the following.
c(r) = (preal boson/fermion-antifermionboson)c2

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 preal fermion-antifermion induces a
sympathetic, if you will, increase in pvirtual fermion-antifermion. The Fermi
quantum statistical principle dictates that an increase in real fermionantifermion induces the quantum vacuum to experience a local decrease in

virtual fermion-antifermion.
We are led to hypothesize the following relation:
(preal fermion-antifermion/real fermion-antifermion)c2 =
(virtual fermion-antifermion/pvirtual fermion-antifermion)c2

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 Tuv, 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/c2) {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/Rc2]-1 or with [1 GM/Rc2. . . ] in the

weak field limit. Another expression equivalent to the weak field
expression above is

[1 - m/vacuum]

The wavelength must undergo redshift as the velocity of light increases

as the photons climb out of the gravity well.
c[1 - m/vacuum] = fermion/boson

A certain increase in the density of real particles (fermions) decrease the

density of virtual fermion-antifermion pairs of virtual fermionantifermion 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 af+af and ab+ab, for fermions and bosons,
respectively. Creation and annihilation of bosons can model vacuum 3momentum fluctuations and the creation and annihilation of fermionantifermions, fluctuations in vacuum energy.
Observe the following relationship between the creation operator and
discrete energy and 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 excitationdeexcitation. 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 nonconserved 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 momentumenergy density must be determined relative to zero momentum-energy
density. However, note carefully that there are two distinct ways to
define a spacetime manifold of 0 curvature, one of which is structureless
and trivial, Tuv = 0, the other highly structured (and symmetrical), i.e.,
uvTuv = 0 (rather than from Tuv = 0) that cause a deviation of the
spacetime manifold from flat spacetime.

Tuv

T00 T01 T02 T03

= T10 T11 T12 T13
T20 T21 T22 T23
T30 T31 T32 T33

So the non trivial structure of stress-momentum-energy would be the

following:

{-T00 = T11 + T22 + T33}

{ Tij = -Tji }

That is, a spacetime manifold on which the pressure and energy density
are equal and opposite and on which the stresses are precisely counterbalanced. 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 Tuv components

become individually zero. @$This possibility is the one in which gravity
is a function of the energy of cosmological expansion.
Binding energy constitutes an imbalance in the relative distribution of
stress-momentum-energy amongst the Tuv.
As stated earlier, this
imbalance may also be described as a disturbance in the otherwise antisymmetrical balance of vacuum 3-momentum and energy fluctuations,
i.e., balance of current densities of virtual fermionic and bosonic
creation-annihilation events, or as a disturbance in the quantum statistics
of a spacetime symmetric vacuum state.
Individual particles are indistinguishable within quantum theory. A
wave function is only a complete description of a closed quantum
mechanical system.
In an open system, theres nothing to assure
conservation of probability.
The imbalance in the distribution of momentum fluctuations within bulk
matter subject to a gravitational potential may be understood in terms of
the idea of the gravitational redshift.
@$

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

[ - 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 = bluefred.
There is a relationship between * = ||2 = particle probability density
and
<|pu|> = <pu>
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 4momentum 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 fermionantifermion 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.
@$

boson*boson is importantly related to <|pj|>. Similarly,

fermion*fermion is significantly related to <|E|>.
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 /\xj/\pj 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 = vx 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 /\pj and /\E must be related
in much the same way as <p> and <E>, namely the /\pj and /\E for a
particular system must in some way comprise a conserved quantity, e.g.,
sqrt[/\2pj + /\2E] = /\Tuv ?
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 fermionantifermion 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.
The correlation of two quantum systems, 1, 2, may be defined as
12

/[(1 + 2)(1 + 2)], where 1 and 2

are the normalized wavefunctions of systems (1) and (2), respectively.

Or alternatively, in terms of energy uncertainties,
R(1,2) = ?
(the right hand side of this equation must take into
account the two distinct cases, /\E1 /\E2, /\E1 /\E2.
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
2nd rank momentum-energy tensor possessing off-diagonal components.
There are two important formalisms, that of Schrdinger 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, Tuv in which Tuv possesses nonzero off-diagonal

components, must be described in the Schrdinger wave formalism in
terms of a 2nd 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 Tuv may be calculated from a knowledge of Tuv and /\Tuv.
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 0th 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 1st 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 /\psyst and /\Esyst, 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 + (xu(1), xv(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 Schrdinger 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 fermionantifermion 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 /\Ef+f- with the more general /\Eregion , 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

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 in the
velocity of light are the cause rather than the phenomenological effect of
gravity. As already stated,
c = /\E//\p and hence, for example,
cxx = /\Ex//\px; cxy = /\Ex//\py, and so on.
The spacetime metric, therefore is embodied at a particular infinitesimal
spacetime region in the matrix,

| c11 c12 c13 c14 |

[cuv] = | c21 c22 c23 c24 |
| c31 c32 c33 c34 |
| c41 c42 c43 c44 |

; where cuv = /\Eu//\pv

Actually, the above matrix elements should be related to /\pu/\xv.

| c11 c12 c13 c14 |

[cuv] = | c21 c22 c23 c24 |
| c31 c32 c33 c34 |
| c41 c42 c43 c44 |

; where cuv = /\pu/\xv

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,
[cuv] must contain all of the same information as [g ik], the metric tensor
of Einsteins field equations.
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 /\pu or in /\pj 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 /\pu 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 pu and /\pu 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 Tuv, the
momentum-energy tensor of Einsteins field equations.
These
momentum fluctuations are in the fields of nongravitational forces.
/\pm and /\Em must be greater than /\pv and /\Ev (really?) for m to produce
gravitational effects.
If /\x and /\t are to small (relative to what?), then no objective spacetime

If the nj are vectorially added that are not orthogonal, a vector is

produced that describes the tunneling of a particle superluminally from

the absolute past to the absolute future part of the absolute future part of
the light cone, traversing the elsewhere region in the process. This is an
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.
The nj are thought to lie along the light cone because of the presumed
propagation velocity of c for the individual wavefunctions. Only
upon mutual interference of multiple wavefunctions do we get v group
vphase.
The nj that are not spatial reflections of one another will upon interfering
produce off shell or virtual particles. The probability of an encounter of
each particle of the virtual pair scattering and annihilating is
progressively lower as we consider an ever smaller coincidence in time
and space (required for annihilation), i.e., as (/\x, /\

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.

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
each individual consciousness, the many worlds interpretation of
quantum mechanics can indeed be valid, c.f., my email to Z. Fahd on
02/19/12. (not only valid, but conceivably valid).
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.

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

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

It is possible that the phase relationships of the component

or more observers could not simultaneously tune to the same system
wavefunction. In other words, externally precise (internally imprecise)

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

As data is transferred from one mind to another, always-new information

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 2nd 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).

then we expect that the velocity of light (and hence, if time itself) was
greater in the past with <c> proportional to 1/
. If Ru is increasing
with time, then the speed of light is decreasing with time. The velocity
of light, rate of time is the ratio of external to internal bandwidths.

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 rightthinking 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. October 2011 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.

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 2nd 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(-ihk1t/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) = vg, 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
vg = (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
vg = (/\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.

Can conservation of probability tell us something about the manner in

which fluctuations might be conserved?

If the correlations in the
fluctuations in px, py, pz, E) are 0, then does this mean that pxpypzE

And if correlations in Pu exist, then can we have Tuv conserved
instead?
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=t0. 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., 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, the Stardust must . . .
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.

Culture is an epigenetic phenomenon from the standpoint of behavioral
genetics.
Man acquires freedom by removing the obstacles to the

However, the intrinsic freedom lies with the unlimited possibilities for

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. epi=Perturbation theory is the epigenetics of
subatomic particle behavior while epigenetics is the perturbation theory

Is deceleration endothermic or exothermic? Whatever vacuum process
is responsible for relativistic mass increase may perhaps be manipulated
to convert energy into mass at subrelativistic velocities, c.f., Perry

What happens to the 2nd 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
2nd 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

remarks seem to apply to the emergence of moral and ethical

The degeneracy that enables the stability of evolved structures is a

A structure is

logic is responsible for this structure. Grace seems unnecessary when

one believes that the components of matter are indifferent to the passage

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.

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.

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 origin of mathematical notions not corresponding to anything in

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,
The expectation values of momentum and energy; <P> and <E>, are
determined in the following way:

If we interpret the fluctuations of P and E in the vacuum as linked
together (just as space and time are linked to produce spacetime) and
that fluctuations in their conjugate 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 of E due to fluctuations
in P.

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

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

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

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 subharmonics. The
proper weighting of each subharmonic (Fourier frequency component
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 bandwidth is supplied to matter through a nonlocally connected

Because the velocity of light is foundational to the definition of
spacetime, it perhaps follows that gravitys effect upon spacetime might
be wholly explicable in terms of a mechanism by which 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.
The expectation values of momentum and energy, <p> = [<p2> - /\p2]
And <E> = [<E2> - /\E2]
If we interpret the fluctuations of p and E in the vacuum as linked
together (just as space and time are linked together to produce
spacetime) and that fluctuations in p and E dynamically determine
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.
Constant = (E)2 + (p)2 = K
/\E2 = (p)2 ; /\p2 = (E)2
This all makes more sense if we think of matter as just a stable pattern of
fluctuation of energy, momentum and of their linkage, i.e., momentumenergy tensor fluctuations.
So that any observable changes in matters state may be more properly
understood as changes in the state of these fluctuation and in the mutual
interaction of these fluctuations.
A phase diagram for a given angular momentum vector orthogonal to the

A connection between Heisenberg uncertainty and spin and angular
momentum is here discernible. Notice we cant get a time directed spin
or angular momentum from operations between 3-angular momenta or
3-momenta, but timelike angular momentum must be assumed for the

It is not possible to consistently define 4-angular momentum utilizing

Moreover, transformations of 4-angular momentum between different

If spacetime is an artifact of the quantum vacuum stress-momentumenergy 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 10120 difference between the magnitudes of the
cosmological constant and Planck energy density.

Vacuum energy density vs. mass energy density cosmological
coincidence can be explained by the way matter induces mass in the

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 internally from the event horizon to the so-called
singularity in a manner similar to how the density of black holes varies

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.,
3c2/8GR2 rather than functionally varying with r, i.e., 3c2/8Gr2, 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 possess a kernel of Planck
density.
Lp = [Gh/c3]1/2 mp = Lpc2/2G

x Lp = Rkernel

Rkernel represents the black hole kernel possessing Planck density, i.e.,
the density at which all available quantum vacuum states are occupied,
as opposed to the case of the black hole itself, where merely the vacuum
energy uncertainty reaches 0.
In the case of the sun, Rs ~ 2 x 103
Rk = [2x1030/5x10-8] x ~10-35 ~ 10-22
The kernel for the Universe is ~ 10-15.

The fact that there is not causal necessity to underpin the being of logical

Light Velocity Casimir (LVC) experiment, c.f., lanl.gov search 19982002, 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 ictmomentum fluctuations. And so we expect the reverse of this to be true
if fluctuation momentum-energy is conserved. Conservation of angular
momentum of spin applied here in addition to that of momentum-energy
suggests that the composite spin 0 fermi Cooper pairs @$are actually of
spin 1 rotated 90 degrees into coincidence with the local time axis.

Whether a total confusion of conceptual, cognitive and perceptual

a later-occurring stable and well behaved consciousness is important to
philosophy of minds resolving of the following ambiguity: abstraction
as a function (including logical and mnemonic processes) of
consciousness vs. consciousness as a function of memory and logic.

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/R3). 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.
Gravity breaks spacetime symmetry. Is this because the spontaneous

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 4currents. 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 Fuv

Where Fuv 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 3hypersurfaces. 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-ofchange 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.
Jack Shandy says: Note that the above holds also in M4, if
we take the first coordinate to be the time-coordinate. So, any rotation in
M4 which leaves the time coordinate invariant (a rotation 'about the time
December 2013

axis' if you like), also leaves a spatial axis invariant, and is simply a
rotation in R^3. (A general rotation in M4 is a Lorentz transformation:
any rotation in M4 which leaves a single (necessarily spatial) axis
invariant. . .
Would require a spatial rotation + a boost in a direction perpendicular to
the
rotation
axis.),

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 3momentum fluctuations and energy fluctuations (pure imaginary 4momentum fluctuations).
Fluctuations in spacelike vacuum 3momentum 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 /\px 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 fermionantifermion 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 antigravitational effect.
A progressive transformation of /\E into /\pr where r is the direction
along which the gravitational potential along which the gravitational
potential gradient, as well as the opposed /\E and /\pr gradients are
maximal naturally involves a progressive rotation of a bodys 4momentum 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., <pr> in terms of pr and /\pr, where pr is <p2>.
<pr> = /\pr - <pr>
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 web=http://xxx.lanl website.
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.

The magnitude of velocity through spacetime does not change with
acceleration, only the spacetime velocity vector undergoes a spacetime
2
rotation. Angular velocity of spacetime rotation, vw
w

divided by the gravitational equivalent spacetime curvature, R = v w2/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 2nd rank
tensor. Let J = L + S
[J0] [T11T12T13T14]
[J1] [T21T22T23T24]
[J2] [T31T32T33T34]
[J3] [T41T42T43T44]

[J1`]
= [J2`]

[J4`]

And we know that a 2nd rank tensor such as [T] above is formally

described in terms of a spin 2 exchange particle or field. @$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 4angular 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, mvinit = mvfinal? Well,
relativity tells us that mvinit = m(ic) and mvfinal = mv2 (ic)2]. This is
possible because (1) m is not the same quantity on both sides of our
momentum equation and (20 v under the radical on the right hand side
of the momentum equation is not equal to either vinit or vfinal.

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 2nd 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 2nd 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 3hypersurface within four-dimensional spacetime. Of course the angular
momentum in Keplers 2nd Law (equal areas swept out in equal times)
must now be interpreted as 4-angular momentum in order to maintain
the consistency of Keplers 2nd Law within the context of general
relativity.
In Keplers 2nd 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.
Events only transpire quickly in a determinate direction when two

metaphorical thought, etc.

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 threedimensional 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!) April 2011 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 fermionantifermion 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.

system)
Irreversible causality demands the very spacetime symmetry broken by

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?
For following comments, c.f., cit=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.

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 BoseEinstein 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 positivedefinite 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 3momentum 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

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).

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 = mc2 involves a photon box, which is an

inconsistency of double-counting, as in the case of the expanding
photon sphere).

Reflections on p. 262 dialogue between Khrest and Perry

Rhodan, Die Dritte Macht: All endeavor and communication carries
within itself the underlying import of the 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

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

importantly tied to this Intel circle.

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.

Gradually, the interpretation of wave-particle physics deepened,

going from the intuitively easy duality of the photons wave-particle

The imperfect inter-translate-ability of human (as opposed to

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?

The notion of the insufficiency of classical matter, i.e., matter that

which there is being, inhere, when some is looking cannot be
derived from the activity and interaction such classical matter. A
system that possesses no outside inputs cannot properly simulate a

Consciousness may well be an abstraction like the perfectly straight

toward the exterior of any preestablished system of signs. Language
is, paradoxically, simultaneously expression and medium of

This is only to be

Rortys pragmatist view towards the reified

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.
Impulse to act as bringing two (or more) already extant impulse (data)
streams/ trains into near resonance to produce quantum beats (like
clashing of two nearly identical musical notes) of any desired

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 to the genome may be attributable to how

One of the hallmarks of ignorance is a persistent, imagined habit of

sufficient to make such assumptions plausible is altogether absent.

Molecular biologists

Darwins notion of the nonrandom nature of selection as being due to
the correlation of growth. Changes in the correlation within one set
of attributes are correlated with changes in the correlation of elements
within some other sets of attributes. Russell Clark In Darwin's day, the
cell was just an undifferentiated blob (microscopy was kind of poor in
the 1830's-1850's when Darwin was "evolving" his theory). None of the
following long list of sciences existed in Darwin's day: genetics, genetic
engineering, epigenetics, proteomics, molecular biology, embryology,
biochemistry, nanotechnology, informatics, cybernetics, quantum
chemistry, chaos theory, linguistics, fractal geometry - the list goes on.
In the 21st Century we are expected to believe that the very same
simplistic, principle of increasing biological order ("natural" selection
operating upon "random* mutations) that Darwin guessed at 150+ years
ago is sufficient to explain the wondrous order of tfahe biological world.
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 cont=.
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 2nd 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.
c.f., Slamming the Door, Nature (27 June 2002)
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 2nd 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 of the function in a small neighborhood,
c.f., p. 180 of Fourier Series and Orthogonal Functions, Dover Books.
Is the dynamical ground of virtual processes composed of die
vergebliche.
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.

Koennte es geben nur eine Unsterbliche?

Complexity of the
individual is intimately related to the number of possible individuals
within a group of which it is a mere variant (of a type).
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.

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

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

It appears as though evolutionary innovations could have been
prematurely anticipated through permutational and combinational

Whatever can be permuted amongst alternate universes constitutes a

separable abstract objects.
A C-60 molecule can exist in a superposition state on account of
nonlocal quantum correlations between the various vacuum

still more socially useful.
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

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

The speed of light speed limit should be recast more

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 nothing. 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.

Hc may be alternatively expressed as c2/R is the radius of curvature of
the Universe as a uniformly expanding, simply connected spherical
space. R is the fully contracted Riemann curvature tensor, g ikRik = R,

where the gik is the metric tensor of the spherical space (off diagonal
components of the gik and the metric tensor components, g11, g22, g33,
g44 correspond to the gravitational potentials of the Universes
pressure and energy density. With the off-diagonal components = 0,
we are assuming that the stresses due to expansion are 0 (uniform
expansion of a hyperspherical spacetime). So c2/R may be thought
of as GMU/R2, the gravitational field of the Universe, which is also
equal to Hc as well as equal to c2/R.
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 3hypersurface.
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 ( March 24, 2002)

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 forcemediating 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.

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 (forcemediating 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 2nd rank
tensor, the stress-momentum-energy tensor, Tik. (March 27, 2002
11:29 PM)
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 3momentum 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?

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

the probability boson exchange (the ol Pauli Inclusion Principle).
high boson density reduce virtual boson exchange?

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

Yes, it does because the Pauli Exclusion

Principle does not distinguish real and virtual fermions. Hmmm. What
you have advocated this before).

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

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

Complex and perhaps paradoxical perceptions like this of those
around us must be actually quite common, I imagine. An important

postmodern concept for late 20th/early 21st Century 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 interested in the ol

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 6:04 AM)

A culture does not correspond to any instantaneous, explicated/explaned pattern, but possesses inextricable depth knowable only to

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

Bertrand Russell once supposed as an adolescent that modern science
was incompatible with the will since, for example, the laws of

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.

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, Feynmans 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 mathematicians as a metaphor and given literal expression in

The transformation of one figure-ground matrix into another is

orthogonal to that by which figure and ground exchange places within

What we call conscious experience on the view suggested above is

There is a mutual

Consciousness is

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 selfconsistent 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 17th 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

quantum theory.
If consciousness is really the capability for metaphor and abstract

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 wouldbe 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.

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 most highly symmetric invariance possesses no underlying

@$
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 superuniverse, 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

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.

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

readily perceptible.
Whether one regards the less than desirable facets of the self as

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 tensor.
Just as we have <Tuv>, the expectation value of Tuv, there should be
definable a Heisenberg uncertainty with respect to Tuv, i.e., /\Tuv that
possesses an associated quantum fluctuation field, Tuv, which may
be modeled as either the exchange of a spin-2 boson, two degenerate
spin vector bosons, or four degenerate spin ! virtual fermions,
created and annihilated by the quantum vacuum in 10 distinct
combinations,

the symmetry of the metric tensor reduces the number 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:

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.

my consciousness versus intersubjectivity necessarily including my
consciousness.

The forms of ground back-react by another ground reacting through

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 tendency of the human mind is to assume that boundary

People who see nothing wrong in indulging the false premise for a

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

Rotation field as a spatially distributed velocity field. Although

!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 Feynman, 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 Fermi-Dirac and Bose-Einstein quantum statistical laws do not

distinguish real and virtual particles.
Real versus virtual is
determined by whether the mass of a particle is on or off its mass
shell. Einsteins momentum-energy relation defines the mass shell,
2

= m02c2 + p2c2

where m0 = E2/c2 p2
So that when m m0, we say then that the particle of mass, m, is off
mass shell. If the mass shell equation applies to the expectation
values of E and p, i.e., <E> and <p>, then an 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 uncertainty? If
the H-uncertainty in and the fluctuation of say, the energy of a
particle Lorenz transform identically, then how is it possible for <E>
to be Lorenz transformed, since
(<E>2 - /\E) = <E>
m0 = E2/c2 p2 = (<E>2 - /\E)/c2 - (<p>2 - /\p)

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., JohnAnthropic 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 consciousnesss 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 prn=MWI QM.
The transcendental-literal is just as much a predicative oxymoron as

We might someday have confirmation of Platonisms truth, for

on the other hand, can never uncover proof of his philosophical

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.

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

The ground of being is recursion and infinite regress, if understood

Syntax and semantics place different kinds of limits upon the

Evolution is not just the development of functions enhancing

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

a more excited, less spacetime symmetrical state, c.f., harmonic

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

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 2nd 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.

= s + ia

||2 = ( + ia)(s - ia) = |s|2 + |a|2 = conserved probability density

Bosons and fermions contribute positive and negative energy,
respectively to the energy of the quantum vacuum. So probability
density of bosons and fermions should be (+) and (-), respectively, to
the energy of the QV.
Let

s = 1/2( + *);

a = 1/2( -

) and where by

definition of an arbitrary complex function and its complex conjugate,

= + i; * = - i

so that,

s = 1/2 x 2; a = 1/2i
= s + a;

so that,

x = (s + a)(*s + *a) =
s2 + as + *as + a2 =
= s2 + a2 = 2

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 and a
behave like orthogonal complex functions, c.f., cit=Quantum
Mechanics (au=Messiah), p. 584, Dover Books (1999).
From the continuity equation, we have
/t + .J = 0
.J = .Js

and

/t = a/t;

so

a/t + .Js = 0; but we also know that,

na/t = [n(+a/-a)]/t

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.
In gravity field and/or expanding spacetime, cross terms develop,
/t [. s] and a/t
Is this why it is necessary for spacetime to be nonstatic in general
relativity theory?
The definitions,
s = + i and a = - i allowed us to deduce that
s2 + a2 = 2
But another definition could have been chosen, leading to the very
same result,
= s + ia
2 = * =
(s + ia)(s - ia) =
s2 + ias - ias + a2
s2 + a2 = 2, with the real component of being s and the
imaginary component of being a.
So the probability densities of , s and a 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.
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 .

must possess some non-geometrical quality. Does this imply a violation
of the Einstein Equivalence Principle?
Supersymmetry necessarily involves both external (spacetime) and
internal symmetries (e.g., intrinsic spin). Js makes sense in a flat,
expanding spacetime in terms of virtual Lorenz boosts within this
spacetime (abstract, discontinuous accelerations).
Relativistic angular momentum, juv, is a 2nd rank tensor, rather than a
simple 4-vector.
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.

The process of abstraction is object degenerate, e.g., this is why my

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

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 informationefficient 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

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

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 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 4momentum 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 4vector 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 3velocity 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?
When the exchange boson energies and scalar field frequencies are
redshifted by a factor of [J/\P(u)/J/\P(I)]/[ J/\P(u)/J/\P(I)] with total fluctuation
number current density conserved (manner of arising of gravitational
binding energy?). This may contain a possible explanation of resolution
of the paradox of reversible gravitational blue shift.
(Apply theory of cosmological constant scaling behavior to the notion of
gravitational binding energy fraction.)
GM/Rc2 leads to both Ebinding /Emass and Emass/Eblackhole
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?
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.

inertia from the Dirac vacuum goes along similar lines.), c.f., J. P.

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.

Conservation of Heisenberg momentum uncertainty, for example, 3-

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

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.
It might not be too difficult for a robot, well versed in the worked of
Darwin, Freud, Marx, Sartre, Skinner, or more recently, those of
au=
Dennett, Dawkins, Minsky, et. A., to defend itself against the implied
insult of being less than human. The works of Foucault and Derrida
might also prove to be particularly helpful in this regard. au=Gdel,
Bohm, Searle, Chalmers, Popper, Stapp, Dreyfus, Lockwood, etc. are
among those who level this charge against the notion of intelligent
machines, July 2011 c.f., Hubert Dreyfus What Computers Cant Do,
What work has been done on 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, but the most general, i.e., subtlest and most
pervasive in its application.
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/xj 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 timerate-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, minert, manifests a gravitational

mass, mgrav, 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.
But why complexity is a necessary condition of a higher form
of consciousness? I suggest a plausible answer: because the sensitivity to
any stimulus may be increased through the interconnectedness of the
constituents of the organism. The increased degree of sensitivity in
groups is available through the interactive creation of collective states
having energetic states with smaller net energy differences between each
other than within the constituents themselves, c.f., cit=The Physics of
Collective Consciousness (au=Grandpierre, 1996).

Universality of quantum spin as a common denominator of particles and

Energy transition degeneracy of 3-momentum exchanges leads to the
notion of vacuum energy fluctuation degeneracy of vacuum 3momentum 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).

Is locality due to collective interaction of myriad consciousnesss with

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.

The temporal evolution of a systems logic must be noncomputable (by

The mind is not quantum mechanical. Information is only conserved

Because vacuum fluctuations render the laws of thermodynamics only

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

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

No concept of consciousness because it is a pure particular concrete
individual and therefore possesses no abstract features apart from
transcendental ones. March 2014 We can have no concept of consciousness
because concepts are formed through the abstraction of some essential
quality or property from multiple instances. Yet one only ever has one's
own example as an instance from which to draw upon. Moreover,
consciousness itself is logically elusive because it is "purely concrete" as
everything we experience is made from it. The *purely* concrete is
*wholly abstract* (a self-contradictory concept, therefore). Intuitively,
there *must be* a concept of consciousness, however. So the concept of
consciousness can only be arrived at via intuition (insight).
"Consciousness" needs be a transcendental concept, then and individual
consciousnesss, respective instantiations of some universal mind. . .
Yes, Sam, I do. :p Lime Cat The contradiction is resolved by noting
that, secretly, there must be more than one level of description/discourse

at work in understanding consciousness as firstly, "transcendentally

abstract" and secondly, "wholly concrete". The two levels of description
are the immanent and transcendent. Again, atheism (in the sense of a
mere philosophical disbelief in universal mind) is just half-baked
solipsism.
Let me get at the notion of God by discussion consciousness, which I
believe importantly relates to the notion of "the image of God."

We can have no concept of consciousness because concepts are formed

through the abstraction of some essential quality or property from
multiple instances, which possess the property in common. Yet one has
only ever possessed one's own peculiar example as a solitary instance of
consciousness from which to draw upon in any doomed and misguided
attempt to formulate such as concept. (Do not confuse here the notion of
"states of consciousness" with the much more general notion
of consciousness as such.) Moreover, consciousness itself is logically
elusive because it is "purely concrete" as everything we experience is
made from it. The *purely* concrete is *wholly abstract* (a selfcontradictory concept, therefore). Still more, by definition, the
"subjective" (*infra*-subjective, more properly literally speaking) can
possess no *inter*-subjective description. Intuitively, we all probably
acknowledge that there *must be* a concept of consciousness, however.
. . which is to say, consciousness is not an incoherent notion. So the
concept of consciousness can only be arrived at via intuition (insight),
one might say even, "by revelation". "Consciousness" needs be a
transcendental concept, therefore, and individual consciousnesss,
respective instantiations of some universal mind and/or transcendental
category, which can only be entertained by such a universal mind. This
universal mind I am identifying with the mind of God. We can perhaps
see from what has been suggested, that by its very nature, such a mind
must be utterly free of limitation, though it may manifest itself in limited
form as human, demigod, wrathful Old Testament God or loving,

forgiving Incarnation. This is my version of Unorthodoxy.

aspects of a thing which make it a particular thing, quiddity refers to the

which it may share with other things and by which it may form part of

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

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

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 selfpreserving 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

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

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.

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 January 2012 or perhaps are as
physically real (in a classical physical sense) as oneself, but under a fullblooded quantum mechanical description (a complete theory of which

there be a litmus test, 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, e.g., Blade Runners Skin Job test, that are
essentially 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

Philosophers of mind, who have unfortunately acquainted

appearance of a bona fide and physically real cosmos, that is, one which
both respects the tenets of society-defined naive realism *and* the

originated in a state of extraordinarily low entropy. February 2012 @$ Nature
is structured in such a manner that no given person, A can prove that the

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

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.

If it is true that we humans are, as the name human suggests, we are of

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

substantive term, cannot be given a logically self-consistent formal

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.

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 as a 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 instinctively seems to possess.) Like two
disparate operating systems sharing an important collection of common
files, many of the tenets of secular morality, i.e., humanistic ethics,
presume or presuppose theistic metaphysical assumptions. @$ In fact,
metaphysics and morality are only superficially distinct branches of

Historical origin of the 5th Amendment to the US Constitution. It is
commonly thought nowadays that the social and political ideals that

general pragmatic arguments against, for example, the apparently nave,

well-intentioned (though in reality cynical and disingenuous) attempts to
export Western style democracy to cultures which are utterly lacking in

Ground of Karma is the high frequency component of collective

The problem with placing the dynamics of a foundationally creative

components are needed (because progressively more important), c.f,

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 frequency domain in
order to escape the nave realistic assumption of the unidimensionality
of time. That time scale reductionism is invalid is consistent with
multidimensional time as seen from the mutual orthoginality of
multifarious frequency domains. December 2011 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, combinationalpermutational 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.

Analogous to the hidden (because compactified) spatial

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. June 2012 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 - or even such a set
comprising a narrow temporal window of mere milliseconds c.f.,
Benjamin Libet, and time scale reductionism (low frequency processes
always must be composed of high frequency processes - in short, onedimensional temporality) is an invalid hypothesis of neurological
temporal evolution. This may be taken as one (of several) grounds for
the implausibility of the Boltzmann brain hypothesis, whether there are
indeed any really existing physical brains or no.

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.
Selfconsciousness 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 Gdel-numbering or

The integrity of consciousness as the medium of experience requires a
self-monitoring psycho-associative network that has an underlying
structure that is maximally recursive to permit (the potential for) the
greatest freedom of associative metaphorical ideation.
The arbitrariness of Christian doctrine should not trouble our faith in

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 latent, some neutral or irrelevant at any
evolutionary juncture.
It is among these neutral 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.
Does the coherence specific to a peculiar culture always resonate with
the mental processes of those members of the culture who have

The explanation of these great mysteries will be akin to finally
discerning aright the misheard lyrics of all ones favorite old songs.

Each superposition state is a set of eigen-basis functions that is unique to

a particular observer.
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, 1/3, 1/3, 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.

Communication produces random products within a determined set of

Representations guide the communicants participation in the dialectic

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.

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

From the vantage point of consciousness, the world is a novelty

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

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

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 observerindependent 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
2nd 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 3rd 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 <Q2> 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

Coherence is mediated by bosonic (exchange) particles that are
manifestations of 3-momentum vacuum fluctuations, i.e., /\pj. So the
greater the coherence of a structure, the greater is /\Pj, 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

Indeterminacy in the system means that the system still possesses choice

The quantized redshifts, i.e., expansion velocities of distant galaxies may

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.

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

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.

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 (massenergy + 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 3momentum 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 2vector. 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

Pure representation is then purely recursive. Representations, if they

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

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

Topology seems to underlie the fundamental nature of the distinction of

Copying certain systems in space is therefore
fundamentally different from copying them in time. Different time

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.

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.

Distinctly quantum phenomena are characterized by the appearance and

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

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:2N. The equivalence principle
would seem to dictate that the reconfiguration of vacuum field stressmomentum-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

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 seems necessary for two causal chains, intersecting by chance, to be

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

Quantum tunneling seems very akin to the

At some stage in the progression from the subatomic to the cellular scale
(or, perhaps, a little beyond this) a shift occurs from quantum computerlike 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

Chance may account for the fortuitous emergence of a favorable gene
sequence but not the process by which such sequences are sustained, if

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,

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.

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.

Entropy may be alternatively understood in terms of resolution instead

The relationship of geometry ( as the structure of space) and the vacuum

Since quantum correlations can be nonlocally connected, these
correlations that become locally connected do so by some mechanism

This is why it makes sense to look for the mechanism of unified inertia

Information cannot be transmitted at greater than the speed of light (in

Does the death of the individual constitute a genuine, objective

We expect the laws of nature to break down at the

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

may be or become correlated. This would be a perfect example of how

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 substance/thinghood through
quantization/digitization of mass, length, time, etc.
Representation is a function of participation
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.

<system | system> = ; = <system | observer>
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 within it.

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 1017 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 2nd 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 2nd 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 my future to conform to these nothing I
should be troubled about.
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.
On his deathbed he informed us that it wasnt so bad that he didnt have

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
May 2012
of information and its dissemination.
Information is selftranscending 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.

So in this dream, Im making up the sequence in which events take

That which produces and sustains the oscillation, e.g., quantum
observables can itself be neither captured by what is contained by the

Although expressions of temporality may be spatialized, that which
originates time and temporality cannot possibly be spatialized, that is,

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.
Normally we would expect that an single process would be characterized
by determinism and a collection of similar processes, by statistical
relationships.
The local is a manifestation of the mutual interference of nonlocal

Of course, the Other of all others would not be a person in the usual

If my thoughts are determined, then they cannot possibly refer to that
which is merely hypothetical and not literally present anywhere in
realitys continuum. To wit, my thought cannot in this case be about
anything. Deterministic thoughts cannot be supported by an openended context. March 2011 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.
Information degeneracy is what permits the Gdelization procedure to
carry through successfully upon which rests the validity of the Gdels

Numberline continuum possesses natural elements that are members of

Although information quantum is degenerate, what about information

If we understood the way time seems to slip away from us more and

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

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

Socrates slave boy already knows the postulates and rules of inference

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

of . . . , and so one, ad infinitum. So it appears Watts statement about

paraphrasing of Gdels Incompleteness Theorem. Equivocation of

The manner in which the parts are found to interact is as much a

To say that something is possible is to claim that there exists a facility

Narcissistic communication style or, why my brilliant posts to science

Synchronicity is, in addition to an acausal connecting principle, is also a

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

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 potential of an individual human
mind/psyche. Nor is one lifetime long enough to make 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 significance. So are there determinate, yet
undiscovered caches of human potential of mind? Is there an essence of
human nature, apart from that which has been heretofore worked out in
the evolution of human culture?
It appears obvious that as the extent of the breadth and variation of
humanity and human existence grows with the advance of the history of
culture, the potential similarly grows for progressively 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

Axiom 3: the alterity of the 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 3momentum 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

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.

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

Now if this is taken as an argument for a transcendent being, the very

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.
