Hi Manual,
Thanks for an interesting essay. I equate it with the saying of a yoga instructor: No brain, No pain.
Thanks,

Hi Manuel,
As I promised in my Essay page, I have read your Essay. I strongly appreciated it. In particular, I completely agree with your and Einstein's point of view on the uncompletness of quantum mechanics and on the needing to construct a more general deterministic theory beyond it. As I had a lot of fun in reading your Essay, I am going to give you a high score.
Cheers,
Ch.
Thank you Christian for your support and kind words. As you are aware its not easy to go against the grain of popular opinion and for someone of your credentials to find merit in these findings, I find humbling.
I wish you continued success in this contest.

Manuel
Dear Manuel. Hello, and apologies if this does not apply to you. I have read and rated your essay and about 50 others. If you have not read, or did not rate my essay The Cloud of Unknowing please consider doing so. With best wishes.

Thank you Hoang cao for sharing with me your viewpoint. I agree that states, which are finite, are absolute in that two states cannot simultaneously co-exist at one point in space time.
My question you quoted is about how the fundamental acts of selection give rise to such states. I appreciate your viewpoint and have rated your essay accordingly. I wish you well in this competition.
Regards,
Manuel
Vladimir,
I did appreciate your comments and rating of my essay and have previously replied in kind. I wish you continued success in the competition.

Hi Dear Morales,
I have read your essay and I have find there such question:
"How does something arise from nothing?"
My dear! I have ask the same question myself in little bit different formulation: - Is it possible somebody made the sausage (for example) if I will give him all of information - the technology, process and materials description etc (let be encoded those even in binary system!) without meat? Thus, I am going rate your essay as a high. I will read it more detailed later. Please just open my work Essay text that I think you can read. Professor Christian very like it.
Best wishes,
George
Hello Manuel,
Contests FQXi-it contests new fundamental ideas. Your essay is a good example of depth analysis and new ideas presented in graphic form. You acknowledge Alexander Zenkina thought expressed in the article "Science counterrevolution in mathematics»: «the truth should be drawn with the help of the cognitive computer visualization technology and should be presented to "an unlimited circle" of spectators in the form of color-musical cognitive images of its immanent essence »http://www.ccas.ru/alexzen/papers/ng-02/contr_rev.htm
You give a new opportunity to look at and understand the concepts of "matter", "energy", "information" from a new angle give a glimpse into the fundamental structure of nature. See also my essay. I think we are close in spirit to research.
I wish you success and respect,
Vladimir
Vladimir,
Thank you for taking the time to review my essay and for rating it based on the findings. I appreciate the link. That is some heavy stuff!
Anyway, I have also reviewed your essay and found your perspective very much in keeping with the findings as well. At least you did not take 12 years of experimentation to come to your conclusion ;-)
Best wishes,
Manuel
George,
I too value Professor Christian opinion... and yours as well. Thank you for your kind words. I find it comforting to know that I am not the only one asking 'How does something arise from nothing?'
I have reviewed your insightful essay and truly enjoyed reading it. I find rating it came easy. Best wishes to you in this contest.

Manuel
Manuel,
I found that our 'perception' of reality is what has blinded us to understanding what reality is. The mindset based on effectual causality blinds us to the fact that nature is 'super-deterministic' to coin a term by physicist John Bell.
Your above comment about mindsets calls to mind my belief that humankind has been unduly influenced by an anthropomorphic perception that falsely guides the Anthropic Principle.
Your "abstract" comment, "In so doing, we find that the two acts of selection have gravitational characteristics, as such, serve to unify the strong, weak, and electromagnetic forces as one super-deterministic force," I find fascinating, though my mathematical skills kept me from seeing the connection in your graphics. The mystery of gravity and the separation of forces seconds after the BB must augur such a connective key 14 billion years after.
Induced "States of angular momentum" correlating with other characteristic behaviors only attributed to quantum mechanics seems a unique manner of perceiving our reality -- perhaps fleeting images of macro and micro unification.
James,
Thank you for stopping by to review my essay and for the kind words. Funny thing, I was just reviewing your essay yesterday and was going to request your email address to run some questions by you, but you beat me to the punch. What is your email address? Or you can send me an email to: msm@physicsofdestiny.com
Thanks,
Manuel
"This means you cannot choose to move your body whatsoever. You cannot choose to take in any fluids. You cannot choose to take in any nourishment. You cannot choose to relieve yourself, etc., etc. The outcome is obvious. The effect of a physical system to no longer have the capacity to make direct selections is certain death.
Not True. Some *other* physical system can do it for you, as happens all the time, with people in a coma. Even if you consider everything to be just one system, problems remain. Fluids and nourishment may slam into you by chance; the chance might be small, but improbable life is not the same as certain death.
Rob McEachern
Rob,
You are saying that another physical system would then need to do the 'selection' indirectly for another physical system's existence. I hope you realize that you have inadvertently confirmed that physical systems require direct or indirect acts of selection for their existence. The example I gave dealt with direct selection and its certain outcome. The example you gave dealt with indirect selection and its uncertain outcome. Thus, the existence of both states/outcomes requires the acts of selection for a physical system to exist. Nature is absolute in this regard.
I truly appreciate you giving it some thought by presenting your argument.
Best wishes,
Manuel
Rob, I looked for your essay and was not able to find it? Do you have an entry in this competition?
Manuel
Manuel,
Your statement, that I quoted, declared that the inability to make "*DIRECT* selections is certain death." I merely pointed-out that that statement is indeed false. "I hope you realize that you have inadvertently confirmed that" my statement was correct. *INDIRECT* selection remains an option.
It was not inadvertent. I merely point out that the manner in which you have defined the terms "direct selection" and "indirect selection", as the only two possibilities preceding an "effect", causes the argument to reduce to the Anthropic principle; starting with the fact that something exists, it must necessarily be the case, that whatever conditions were previously necessary for that something to exist, must also have existed. If my life continues, then the conditions conducive to its continuance must have existed. If my life fails to continue, then the conditions conducive to that failure must have existed. "Nature is absolute in this regard."
Rob McEachern
Manuel, no, I did not submit an essay this year, an "indirect selection" was made that prohibited me from doing so. But I did submit one last year.
Rob McEachern
Rob,
I find the Anthropic principle deals with effectual states not with how those states were caused, i.e., came into existence. AP only deals with effectual states causing other effectual states. I have also found that followers of this principle have a hard time relating to the possibility that physical states are not fundamentally causal.
Case in point, can the 'effect' of the Big Bang take place without a selection event first taken place? Can an experimenter conduct an experiment without first making a selection? I find your position to be cemented in the effectual mindset which will not allow you to understand what I have presented. Nonetheless, you are entitled to your opinion. Fortunately, nature is not about opinion, yours or mine.
Best wishes,
Manuel
