Our Information has Shaped Evolution
To date, information has had a primary direction of flow, more outside in than inside out. Some say that this is still the only direction of signal. That everything else is environmental, incidental, but things have changed. Evolution has always been about computation, processing information, finding ways to adapt. It isn’t primarily chemical. The behavioural…

Information as the Basis of Life
Hmm, may I show you a quick video? I have been talking about this is classes, though the technological emphasis of the video is fuzzy. Cool concept. I liked when the computer chip turned in to a lotus. Slingshot … over there, but black holes? Singularities. I ponder information black holes… Cute metaphor .. for…

Attraction of Second Life
How was culture formed? Distribution of information. Giving frameworks for information storage and dissemination? Indeed, both are true, and originally it was structured much like DNA. People develop habits for the most efficient way of living and pass that on to their children. Inheritance, institutions, traditions. A sort of blind process really, and mostly still…

Social Cannibals
Perhaps government should determine changes based on Facebook likes and shares. There is some of that going on. The whole terms of service we are all bound to. It’s even showing up in our younger generations. For those who have grown up with social networking, their brains are literally wired differently than ours were. They…

Waves are the Primary Force
First, we have to remove the entire universe as we know it. The material universe has been modelled upside down and backwards. Sort of like how the eye sees, there is some consistency between the current model and what is actually behind it, but you can tell what make a car is without seeing or…

Mechanism is a Fetish
You have the collective weight of physical force acting on all physical systems. Like a guiding wave, it keeps all the matter spinning in tight little packets like a stick starts doing when you toss it into a stream. But with properly applied intention, that stick can instead be forced to submerge. The universe doesn’t…

Conforming to the Behaviour of Nature
With continued understanding, they will also discover that the fabric of probability on our planet is like a living thing. It can be nurtured and fed and even guided into new shapes, but should by no means be “killed” for the sake of economic expedience. Our machines really are down right primitive in the light…

Reclaim Old Psychic Energy
So, observation and reaction… Shall we explore some examples? Let’s focus on the home scale. Your home observes you. The home being a collective of many things, and it observes you through reacting to the distribution of your personal energy, what you interact with and what you neglect. The home will even begin to adjust…

New Interaction
Everyone familiar with how soap bubbles stay intact? Or the structure of, say, a bucky ball or a carbon nano-tube? Tension. Specific, coherent patterns of tension, and well, especially in the case of the nano-tube, they can display qualities people describe as unearthly. The strongest thing on earth right now, well, manufactured thing as this…

Life
What is life? Growth. I mean physically speaking. Many things grow, accrete. Something that reproduces itself? Ah, that is argued to be one defining aspect of life, yes. They acknowledge one more. Breath? Respiration occurs in simple chemical compounds, the basic process at least, so not breath. Converts energy? Ah, literally everything converts energy. Being…

DNA Strand
What is life made of? Patterns of energy. Yes, but for the sake of argument let’s say atoms, molecules, DNA. If each of the particles in a DNA strand are just tight little knots of space time (this is an adaption of loop quantum gravity by the way), if they are then the bonds between…

Quantum Magnetism
Everyone up on the discovery of quantum magnetism? They have found that atoms themselves display magnetic behaviour. They didn’t think this was so. They are polarized and will sort themselves out until they settle into a more or less magnetically balanced pattern. They have even produced what they call a super fluid. It isn’t even…

DNA Multiverse
We have to go very much further down the wormhole… As said earlier, DNA is a very large molecule. Every atom in the DNA strand being a universe and universes just being definable units of time space, they would have to complete a cycle of possible iterations. All possible universes would have to cancel each…

DNA Sampling
Everything in our own region of the multiverse, our own specific multiverse, would be in the same bandwidth as our own universe just as most of what our cells deal with is in the same order of organization as our own DNA. Everything in our own section of multiverse, our own genome, will behave more…

Teach Them
If I am 95% activating my DNA and get together with someone who is only 75%, can it effect me if I allow my self to be pulled down? No. Greater order always overrides lesser order. More ordered systems have greater gravity so to speak, greater pull. So only the emotions are effected or the…

A World We Imagine
Today we are talking about virtual interaction theory. We tend to convince ourselves that we interact with an objective world, that we perceive and evaluate people places and things exactly as they are. What do you think? Is this true? We see through our own lenses, lenses upon lenses, veils behind veils. We project our…

Most Human Experience
We behave and react according to what we perceive something to mean to us, and a good portion of that perceived meaning is obtained from simple biological sensation, but an even greater part is obtained socially from communication. We perceive things according to the meaning our social milieu assigns to them, or would you say…

Interpreting Symbolism
Let’s talk about communal meals. Everyone can understand the concept of a communal meal, yes? We eat with our families as children if nothing else, so communal meals have meaning. They even have meaning for other species. Much of the dynamic behind a communal meal shapes and gives structure to the social hierarchy of pack…
Category: Metaphysics of Science
Metaphysics is the branch of philosophy that focuses specifically on the concepts we use to understand reality itself, rather than what might be the best way to do something. Science was originally classified as a philosophy, in my opinion it still is, but many object to the notion that science is still a philosophy. They point at what they feel is proof that science possesses substance that philosophy doesn’t.
There is a schism between science and metaphysics that I believe would be well served by being bridged rather than having the bridge burned. Would you say that working toward a better and clearer metaphysics is without merit in today’s world?
“It would be possible to describe everything scientifically, but it would make no sense; it would be without meaning, as if you described a Beethoven symphony as a variation of wave pressure.” Albert Einstein
