Dear Sir,
Your essay is very interesting and thought provoking. We will like to add some constructive suggestions.
You are right that "all real actions are unique". But it is not "because GOOGLE is constantly updating all of its information garnered from all over the world", as there is the universe besides GOOGLE. When you talk in general terms, you should use universal terms. Your subsequent description shows that you meant only the actions of the search engine. And there you are right. The principle followed by GOOGLE is the universal principle. Everything is constantly changing - temporal evolution. The only difference is that the changes in GOOGLE are mediated by some conscious agents, whereas most actions in the Universe are perpetual reactions to the interplay of various forces. This includes our reactions to the external stimuli based on our internal dynamics.
When you say or type "toe" or "logic", what is the content of the messages for the receiver? All sounds or impressions or symbols do not convey a message. When you say "toe" or "logic"- these are sounds symbolizing few letters (symbols) arranged in a particular pattern? To someone who can't hear or does not know English or have not heard these words or heard it by some other name, the words do not make any sense. If he has come across these words earlier and has known to relate the sound to the object or idea, only then he can think that "It is like the one I had seen earlier, which was called a toe. Hence it is a toe". Thus the actual content of any word is the concept of a known object. The same word can signify different concepts in different contexts. Being an intelligent being, you can choose a specific meaning or object signifying that concept. But the computer has not been programmed to be so choosey. It simply does not know your specific "desire". Hence it presents everything before you to choose from (act). Here also, only the concept is displayed and not the object. You have to relate that concept (knowledge) to a physical object - the human toe. This is possible only by intelligent beings or to some extent those which mimic intelligence.
We wish you would have used generalities like the "observer", the "observable" and the "mechanism of observation" instead of "light, matter and space". When you say space, you imply an ordered sequence of at least two objects (matter), whose interval is called space. It can have meaning only if one of the two is an intelligent being - the observer, making the other the observable. Light is used in the mechanism of observation. You have correctly put these as the three inseparable aspects of a single real element.
When you say: "The real Universe only deals in absolutes", you must be cautious. Reality must be invariant under similar conditions at all times (absolute). The validity of a physical theory is judged by its correspondence to reality. In a mirage, what one sees is a visual misrepresentation caused by the differential air density due to temperature gradient. All invariant information consistent with physical laws, i.e. effect of distance, angle, temperature, etc, is real (absolute). Since the perception of water in the mirage is not invariant from different distances, it is not real.
The uniqueness of each snow flake is not really unique, as no two things are similar in internal arrangement, though everything is constituted of the same primary substances. If you look at the internal arrangements, you will find three distinct categories: (1) the macro objects, which are like a mixture of protons, neutrons, electrons, etc. (2) quantum particles, which are like compounds of quarks, and (3) the constituent of quarks that are indiscernible and absolute. Only the numbers and sequential arrangements change in each case. The macro objects describe the physics (shape) and the quantum objects describe the chemistry only due to the number and internal arrangement of the indiscernible and absolute stuff.
When you say: "the real Universe does not allow anything real or imagined to occur more than once", you refer to the unidirectional time. Consider an example: A B → C D. Here a force makes A interact with B to produce C and D. The same force doesn't act on C and D as they don't exist at that stage. If we change the direction of the force, B acts on A. Here only the direction of force and not the interval between the states before and after application of force (time) will change and the equation will be: B A → C D and not B A ← C D. Hence it does not affect causality. There can be no negative direction for time or cause and effect.
Mathematics is related to numbers, which is a property of particles by which we differentiate between similars. If there are no similars, it is one. If there are similars, it is many. Depending upon the times of perception, many can be 2,3,4....n, Infinity is like 1 - without similars. But while the dimensions of one are fully perceptible, the dimensions of infinity are not perceptible. Hence it is not a number.
Often the number sequence is plotted in a graph as suggested by you: n...2,1...0..-1, -2, -n. But graphs represent fields and fields have no numbers because we can't differentiate between similar fields, which are the characteristic of numbers. Fields have no rigid boundary (dimension). If we add two volumes of water, we get a higher volume (mathematics); but now we can't differentiate between the two volumes (physics). Fields reveal different forces that co-exist but unlike mass, they are not linearly additive. Their interaction is in the realm of beyond the quantum.
Further, 0 is not the same as a very small number. It is the temporal (physical) absence of some object, whose concept presents itself. If we do not have the concept of the object, we cannot feel its absence - hence no 0. Since numbers are always associated with physical objects (number of something), and in isolation, the word "number" is meaningless, 0 cannot be a number in that sense. You had expressed these ideas while writing the number in a peculiar style.
