The Intelligent Bit by Peter Jackson

Peter Jackson

Don,

Thanks. Perhaps that shows good intuition!?

Harmonic phase locking may be a more important effect than we realise.

Dear Peter,

I am intrigued by how you essentially describe our physics' parameters as flexible borders, and I believe you hold, as I do, that these are ultimately centered in the Human Mind.

Am I right in thinking that EPR quantifies the interaction of Mind and Cosmos? This last was a very technical exploration, and I'm thankful for the video links you provide.

I myself describe a cosmic paradigm of correlated energy vortices that not only describes a quantum/classical correlation - but describes the cosmos in terms of correlated energy vortices that include the evolving observer.

My language is non-technical, but the result is highly structural - and I think you might find it intriguing. I expand the definitions of It and Bit far beyond those signified by Wheeler, and conclude that their interaction is one of continuous and simultaneous shifts - or more precisely, of correlation.

I think your work is clearly significant, and will resolve certain apparently 'metaphysical' aspects of reality to the 'physical' Cosmos. I have rated your essay, of course, and would be delighted if you could let me know what you think of mine.

All the Best!

John.

Daryl,

Thanks. I look forward to your further comments. Do also look at my detailed EPR explanations a few posts up.

Peter Jackson

John,

Sincerest thanks for your kind comments. I've added your essay to my read list, and I'll also score it. It sounds interesting.

My essentially mechanistic and 'real' derivation certainly has coherent philosophical, logical and metaphysical dimensions which I appreciate you connecting with

Hi Peter,

When you come to my site (and I thank you in advance for doing so) please let me know if you see, generally speaking, some potential for expressing EPR in terms of my paradigm.

I've been thinking about this since I've read your paper, and I'd like to be clearer about it.

Many Thanks,

John

Hello Peter,

I have rated you already so this does not strictly apply to you. I know you may not agree completely with this It from Bit stuff but your answer is however valued.

As the contest in Wheeler's honor draws to a close, leaving for the moment considerations of rating and prize money, and knowing we cannot all agree on whether 'it' comes from 'bit' or otherwise or even what 'it' and 'bit' mean, and as we may not be able to read all essays, though we should try, I pose the following 4 simple questions and will rate you accordingly before July 31 when I will be revisiting your blog.

"If you wake up one morning and dip your hand in your pocket and 'detect' a million dollars, then on your way back from work, you dip your hand again and find that there is nothing there...

1) Have you 'elicited' an information in the latter case?

2) If you did not 'participate' by putting your 'detector' hand in your pocket, can you 'elicit' information?

3) If the information is provided by the presence of the crisp notes ('its') you found in your pocket, can the absence of the notes, being an 'immaterial source' convey information?

Finally, leaving for the moment what the terms mean and whether or not they can be discretely expressed in the way spin information is discretely expressed, e.g. by electrons

4) Can the existence/non-existence of an 'it' be a binary choice, representable by 0 and 1?"

Answers can be in binary form for brevity, i.e. YES = 1, NO = 0, e.g. 0-1-0-1.

Best regards,

Akinbo

Peter Jackson

Akinbo,

Good question. If I haven't been pickpocketed I'd rationalise it to;

An experiment finds '1', which may then also be quantified as anything between one and infinite dollars. A repeat then finds '0', (air, not notes) which may then also be quantified as anything between 1 and infinite molecules, but no notes, aeroplanes, ice cubes etc.

The mistake we make is believing 1 and 0 is all the information we can elicit and have elicited. So;

1) Yes.

2) No, not comparably, but Yes by other means (can I feel a lump, cold or wetness, hear any jet engines or smell the fuel etc).

3) Yes.

4) Yes. But very far from a complete description of the contents of the pocket.

I'm sorry if any of that's at all 'under your radar', but it includes the 'noise' of reality ignored by binary systems.

Dear Peter Jackson

Thanks for your nice essay, i rated it with high mark

The bit is Intelligent, what about it? what gives rise to information?

and from a different point view, my essay may interest you

Bit: from Breaking symmetry of it

http://fqxi.org/community/forum/topic/1906

While symmetry is kind of redundancy which means loss of information, breaking of symmetry gives rise to information.

Hope you enjoy it

Regards,

Xiong

Peter Jackson

Wang,

Thank you kindly. I find the 'change' of relative motion as the fundamental of information, which very much agrees with your own thesis. I commend you on your search and believe my last two essays here may greatly assist.

Hi Peter,

You definetely crammed a lot in your essay !

I can see some of the analogies you were mentioning in your comments on my essay.

In my theory, the observer and his surrounding world (the 2D information describing it) are moving at the speed of light (not the field) through the past/present/future information, this simplifies things a lot (it is a radical new way to look at fields, in fact we don't need fields anymore, in a certain way "we" are the field).

You said that you agree with some of my conclusions but not all of them (I suspect it is the 2D/3D aspect), if you have time, you can take a look at my website, you might change your mind on some things.

In any case, nice essay and you deserve your good position in the contest.

Best of luck,

Patrick

Hello Peter

As you know, I consider ANALOGY as a flag ship of THOUGHT AND THINKING, and LOGIC and FORMS OF RATIONALITY a necessary and important complements to it. The question only is which comes first.

Analogy comes first because it is an automatic process. As heat has the propensity to become cold (it needs work for hot to become cold: It's 100 degree Fahrenheit in NYC right about now. AC machines are whirling like dervishes!), analogy tends toward eventual rationality. Practical examples abound: You can't do quantum computations for long without it becoming prematurely classical. (How do you maintain coherence when there is a gale force of disturbances?)

You said "Nature is commonly assigned symbols such as 'numbers' to allow computation. Yet in this vast excluded middle ground lies most of nature and a dichotomy with logic" and "No logical or mathematical system claims to have overcome paradox."

I completely share your sentiments - or shall I say your statements -- when I said somewhat metaphorically that ANALOGY is the iceberg under the waterline of RATIONALITY. People assigns a privilege status to RATIONALITY (math and logic etc.) because it's the first thing they see and notice consciously and widely promoted by the way, while in reality, ANALOGY is the one that is basically supporting the foundation of RATIONALITY. Without ANALOGY, there will be no RATIONALITY.

When I have to explain such view, I think of wave-particle duality and QUANTUM coming before CLASSICAL. Your statement "Infinities and irrational and transcendental numbers (i.e. π) outnumber rational numbers!" is, I believe, saying the same thing.

Finally, Nature itself is "analogical" because it allows us to glimpse the truth with each of us wearing glasses of different colors and prescriptions.

Cheers

Than Tin

Peter,

First, I want to let you know that I am deeply impressed with your depth of knowledge. I am also struck the depth of your thinking, your graphics, and your willingness to 'put yourself on the line' intellectually. It takes a great deal of courage to think creatively and differently from whatever the 'conventional wisdom' of the current times happen to be.

Second, I must be intellectually honest with you in admitting that there are a number of things you refer to that I am simply unfamiliar with, and so some of the points you make are lost on me due to my personal ignorance of the subject. Nevertheless, I think I understood the gist of most of what you wrote and considering the rules, purpose and goals of the contest, believe you deserve the high ratings you've received so far from the community - which now includes mine!

Best to you, and again, I hope we'll keep in touch in the future.

Sincerely,

Ralph

Peter Jackson

Ralph,

You're very kind. I really appreciate the 'sympatico' as I'm often made to feel like one of a few survivors trying to save a planet where most have been zombified and are trying to zombify me or kill me off!

Please do keep in touch. You may get a better idea of discrete field model (DFM) fundamentals if you wish from previous essays, or perhaps first here with others;

Best wishes.

Peter

Ralph Walker III

Peter,

I'll definitely keep in touch, and I will check out your previous essays and the link you've provided to familiarize (or make a valiant attempt to do so) myself with DFM.

Also, please hurry up and discover the solution to the zombie problem. I live in Atlanta, Georgia, where the television series 'The Walking Dead' is filmed and they've completely overrun the place . . . I don't know how much longer I can hold out!!!

Best to you,

Ralph

Peter Jackson

Ralph,

OK, I'll send Will Smith down. They missed me at Atlanta (airport) recently en route from London to NASA at the cape for the very last Shuttle (747) flight. I also drove Charleston SC to Key West. Savannah for lunch was gorgeous.

Find some truth and use that. I've found it beats them off (I was never one for hiding) but they often get mad when they attack it and fail! Only a few dezombified so far, but I'm like Ted Turner; Tenacious. If you get any ideas from reading the papers let me know.

Best wishes

COSINE CURVE DERIVATION COMPLETED

I forgot readers may have forgotten my fundamental essay theses of HANDED, spin, giving the helical path, and hierarchical nested higher order "sample spaces" (currently 'noise'). So the above is only complete WITH those. i.e:

The quantity giving the reading at each detector is 'CHANGE' (at charge interaction), not just 'position' around the 'orbit'. So lets run some tests with our 4 donuts;

Both meet face to face; Result = 0% correlation as spins are opposite.

Bob's turned 180^o; Result = 100% correlation as spins both then match.

Now consider the picture in 3D with the contacts 'orbiting', so the detector donuts act like spun coins on a surface just before coming to rest, and remember Alice's is opposite handed. Now lets pick an arbitrary 'zero', say horizontal and 'left', so 180 degrees is then opposite, so 'right'. Now at 90 degrees we are at top or bottom so max uncertainty of 50;50 left and right. This works the same when starting from ANYWHERE around the orbit, is NON-LINEAR, and and is 'handed' whichever side (i.e. 180-360 degrees) the donuts (detectors) are set.

Now watch and consider the animation in the first blog post under my bio above. the independent cosine curve at EACH detector now comes to life (seen projected onto the horizontal plane).

LIVING PROOF! that FTL and spookyness may NOT be needed to reproduce the predictions of QM, solving the EPR paradox (and obeying Malus' Law). The new axiom; Polarisations have a common axis, which entangled particles retain.

Now even beyond that 'sample space' there are more, because there are two charge s which are actually helically counter-wound around the donut body, this is then the dynamic of an AGN or Nuclear Tokamak - but your brains may already be hurting so lets not go there yet, and just decode the 'noise' between the binary cardinals one step at a time!

If anyone can't rationalise the proof or disagrees do please just ask or say.

Best wishes

Dear Peter,

Evolution of an intelligent information unit of bits in matrices of probability density in super-matrix hierarchy that resolves the non-fundamental nature of bit on observation is plausible. Yet in particle scenario the outcome is intelligent rather than reality, as the observation of particle is probabilistic rather than realistic, while the Law of the excluded middle is inconsistent on this.

With different intermediate logics, zero-dimensional particle scenario of universe is transformational into one-dimensional string-matter continuum, in that three-dimensional structures of matters of universe evolve from eigen-rotational string-matter segments of tetrahedral-branes in hierarchy.

Thus the unit of information in matrix to be quantised with the incident-time of the observer for observing information continuum of string-segments in discrete cyclic-times, in reference to the linear time flow of hierarchical cyclic-times of the universe and with this unit of information the string-matter continuum is observational only in near-reality rather than in absolute-reality, as the inclusion of middle is not absolute in that your concept of 'Law of the Reducing Middle' is descriptive.

With best wishes

Jayakar

Jayakar,

Many Thanks,

How do we get new Laws of Physics passed?

Dear All,

It is with utmost joy and love that I give you all the cosmological iSeries which spans the entire numerical spectrum from -infinity through 0 to +infinity and the simple principle underlying it is sum of any two consecutive numbers is the next number in the series. 0 is the base seed and i can be any seed between 0 and infinity.

iSeries always yields two sub semi series, each of which has 0 as a base seed and 2i as the first seed.

One of the sub series is always defined by the equation

Sn = 2 * Sn-1 + Sigma (i=2 to n) Sn-i

where S0 = 0 and S1 = 2 * i

the second sub series is always defined by the equation

Sn = 3 * Sn-1 -Sn-2

where S0 = 0 and S1 = 2 * i

Division of consecutive numbers in each of these subseries always eventually converges on 2.168 which is the Square of 1.618.

Union of these series always yields another series which is just a new iSeries of a 2i first seed and can be defined by the universal equation

Sn = Sn-1 + Sn-2

where S0 = 0 and S1 = 2*i

Division of consecutive numbers in the merged series always eventually converges on 1.618 which happens to be the golden ratio "Phi".

Fibonacci series is just a subset of the iSeries where the first seed or S1 =1.

Examples

starting iSeries governed by Sn = Sn-1 + Sn-2

where i = 0.5, S0 = 0 and S1 = 0.5

-27.5 17 -10.5 6.5 -4 2.5 -1.5 1 -.5 .5 0 .5 .5 1 1.5 2.5 4 6.5 10.5 17 27.5

Sub series governed by Sn = 2 * Sn-1 + Sigma (i=2 to n) Sn-i

where S0 = 0 and S1 = 2i = 1

0 1 2 5 13 34 ...

Sub series governed by Sn = 3 * Sn-1 - Sn-2

where S0 = 0 and S1 = 2i = 1

0 1 3 8 21 55 ...

Merged series governed by Sn = Sn-1 + Sn-2 where S0 = 0 and S1 = 2i = 1

0 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 55 ...... (Fibonacci series is a subset of iSeries)

The above equations hold true for any value of i, again confirming the singularity of i.

As per Antony Ryan's suggestion, a fellow author in this contest, I searched google to see how Fibonacci type series can be used to explain Quantum Mechanics and General Relativity and found an interesting article.

d-super.pdf"> The-Fibonacci-code-behind-superstring-theory](https://msel-naschie.com/pdf/The-Fibonacci-code-behin

d-super.pdf)

Now that I split the Fibonacci series in to two semi series, seems like each of the sub semi series corresponds to QM and GR and together they explain the Quantum Gravity. Seems like this duality is a commonality in nature once relativity takes effect or a series is kicked off. I can draw and analogy and say that this dual series with in the "iSeries" is like the double helix of our DNA. The only commonality between the two series is at the base seed 0 and first seed 1, which are the bits in our binary system.

I have put forth the absolute truth in the Theory of everything that universe is an "iSphere" and we humans are capable of perceiving the 4 dimensional 3Sphere aspect of the universe and described it with an equation of S=BM^2.

I have also conveyed the absolute mathematical truth of zero = I = infinity and proved the same using the newly found "iSeries" which is a super set of Fibonacci series.

All this started with a simple question, who am I?

I am drawn out of my self or singularity or i in to existence.

I super positioned my self or I to be me.

I am one of our kind, I is every one of all kinds.

I am Fibonacci series in iSeries

I am phi in zero = I = infinity

I am 3Sphere in iSphere

I am pi in zero = I = infinity

I am human and I is GOD (Generator Organizer Destroyer).

Love,

Sridattadev.

Dear Peter,

It seems to me logically given and experimentally verifiable that your IQbit (the excluded middle?) should have MORE resolving power. This is granted that scale invariance is a fundamental attribute of nature(necessitating "gauge fixing" as a basic stage in any picturing process) .

The alternative really is to assume a PREFERRED (i.e. "fixed") frame of reference, and make do with less detailed imagery.

You deserve my high score. Even forgetting that you dusted me up!

And please do refer a peer or two of yours to What a Wavefunction is because one thing is to be read, another thing is to be read by people who can share one's problem definition.

All the best,

Chidi

Michel Planat

Dear Peter,

Your essay is attractive and I red it with much interest.

I have a very simple question to ask you.

Is there any difference between what you call the 'intelligent bit' (or IQbit) and what is nowadays called the qubit (the quantum bit)? In particular, there is much structure in it. The qubit has the 'excluded middle property' that you refer to, it cannot be cloned (your condition b), it can be understood from the Bloch/Riemann sphere (north and south poles are the 0 and 1). Spin and angular momentum of light can be described in the qubit language. With two qubits, new 'intelligent' properties arise such as entanglement, Bell inequalities and contextuality, and so on.

You may also be interested with my own description of qubits

http://fqxi.org/community/forum/topic/1789

Good luck,

Michel

Peter Jackson

Michel,

There is almost infinitely greater IQ in the IGbit. The bit is a bit of 2D wave either UP or DOWN. Th Qbit may simply have a choice of those 2 vectors ('degrees of freedom').

The IQbit has (as described by the Born Rule) another entire dimension, so has the potential number of vectors of a (Bloch) sphere. But the angular momentum of light also uses the additional dimension, so as a helix not as a wave.

The qubit language may be usable, but with infintely many iterations in layers reducing to gamma as id decodes the noise in the Shannon Channel to facilitate passage of the additional information. These additional spaces are analogous to both Kalusa spaces and the evolving fractal structure of chaos theory.

The consistency of uncertainty in Bells inequalities experiments is improved as von Neuman wanted, at the same time as removing any need for FTL communication! I think this stunning new finding has been largely missed (well it stunned me a bit at first anyway!)

I have read your essay and thought it well written. I don't think matters like agreement with a thesis should influence scoring.

Best wishes

Peter

Michel Planat

Dear Peter,

I asked the question because you don't refer to a precise mathematical definition of the intelligent bit.

Apart from qubits (2-level systtem), one has the qudits (q-level) systems.

The paper below gives some results one can get by taking tensor products of qudits. But may be it is not relevant here.

http://xxx.lanl.gov/abs/1009.3858

also

http://xxx.lanl.gov/abs/1005.1997

which touches the Klein foundations for dessins d'enfants.

I agree that the discussion iq what matters here.

All the best,

Michel
