Dear Professor Vladimir,

I thank you for supporting the idea of "exponential spiritual chain" and I enjoyed your description of how consciousness evolved over time in human beings.

We need to sustain the sphere of universal knowledge of love for humanity to survive for a while on this planet earth. Internet is a good medium for providing the means to all who are interested in to realize their full potential and hence I created a tool (website)

Any Body Can Discover - Everything For Good Hobby.

I hope to be of some contribution in the way we steer the humanity as the rest of us in this contest are trying to do with their wonderful ideas.

Love,

Sridattadev.

Vladimir -

An extraordinary essay - I wish I could read it in Russian as I'm sure some of the concepts would be clearer and more precise! I was struck by many of the common threads between your essay and mine, The Tip of the Spear, particularly on the evolutionary transition of humanity from paleolithical to anthropocene to the modern era, and on the nature of the institutions that now control (and potentially destroy) human progress.

I'm not sure I understood your meaning in using the word "protogeometer", and I would love to hear more. Is this referring to Husserl's interest in early human geometry and the abstraction of form before the formalizations of Euclid? Or is this a reference to pre-geometry, the topic raised by Wheeler and others in the context of models for quantum gravity? In which case. Or both?

Thanks. I look forward to your response. - George

Hi Vladimir , I am reading some of the essays . Very interesting and original many of those . I want to say thank a lot, for the very positive comment received in the past contest . And I gave another look to Delta-logic. In the essay You describe the delta-logic in the sense of "increment" . If You change the position, as a change of shape, in place of increment . Then the idea is very similar to the shape dinamics , this mean close to Julian Barbour .

My Best Wishes for the contest . A presto.

Dear Vladimir Rogozhin,

Integration of large amounts of information, analysis, and most importantly the findings, is respect for the author.

Dear Vladimir (its nice being able to say that without feeling I am in a solipsistic loop!)

At first reading I could not say I understood everything in your essay, but I was struck by a sense of serious intent, an urgent search for answers, and a sweeping poetic vision that thinks nothing of the practical and political problems of moving the UN to Iceland! May this search and others give little Victoria and all of humanity a new lease of life well beyond 2030!

Your Protogemetre kept reminding me of Blake's paintings of Newton and another of the Ancient of Days bending down drawing figures on the ground with a giant compass. Reminiscent of Archemides drawing figures on the ground just before being killed by soldiers. I hope humanity and its best plans find a better fate!

Are you saying analytical geometrical thought has boxed in and limited human thought and reality, and that we should find another more natural starting point? Neo scientific Zen Buddhism rather than Greek logic?

Best wishes

Vladimir

Dear Vladimir!

At first let me apologize my longer comment, but because I keep important these thoughts putting here and relevant for the content we are speaking of, I hope, I do not overload you.

I found your essay one of masterpieces among lot of very good essays I could read until. You are giving very clear listing of the existential risks of the present state of humanity (at least meant homo sapiens sapiens), and also minimum program instructions how-tos addressed to at least for two of non-governmental structures.

Your essay establishes well-formed review from a forward look (time)arrow how the consciousness should had developed from the senses and evolutionary stages of early human and how those steps became a crisis of our contemporary science and understanding.

However, I'm a bit missing from your essay mentioning our next or back step being - ' homo sapiens sapiens sapiens' - (some says smarter human, some should say divine being :) in our human evolution, and their impact upon us and the present situation.

That almost recurrently fascinated and make us curious, as far as I could construe about such questions in my essay:

'...Are there natural or what kind of type (e.g. supposed divine) beings existing before present us, who have more advanced knowledge suggesting they are years ahead after present us? Are they very natural being, probably humans from the future or from the past or just they are in very PRESENT? ....'

Putting such type of questions and answering them being understandable for a broader audience are far going yet even in our present, and there are much controversial speculations about the 'true human origin'. However much had been answered by ancient philosophers. "...Asinine! What rot to think! As though the earlier non existent could born or might disappear fully what ever was. Since the never existent never would become existent, furthermore if it can completely pass away what exists it is not in the reality it is not in the thought. It is impossible owing to it contradicts with the law..."(Empedokles). Heraclitus argued in a paradox that the world constantly changes, and put the existence into that simplified formula 'everything goes on its course'.

You may be reading about homo divinus and some relevant information coming from controversial sources, however being freely present for our open-minded considerations.

Let me put here some notes too concerning your notes (focusing on the importance of the 'structure' an the ontology of mathematics, but keeping in mind the simplest secure guidelines freewill, faith, hope, love) put on my essay page reconciling with your one:

I hope, I'm not in misunderstanding of your meaning '..Only language of geometrical representations could become the language in which it would be possible to construct such Eidos...' But, I argue a bit, the word in English 'Eidos' meant in anthropological manner, on the contrary this statement also should entail a conclusion to dismiss a living human body capable of thinking itself as a possible analogy to model a working of a healthy social system too.

I feel the cause of "...Process of certainty loss began in the middle of the 19th century simultaneously in mathematics and physics..." much rather arising from a 'creational crisis' which entail a quite important added point to your listing of existential risks. [b[That is OUR IDENTITY CRISIS which for a long time had set in our very bodily genetic and our both individual and social or group consciousness - we should call noosphere.

How ways can be this IDENTITY CRISIS put into a right direction by only OPEN FREE SOURCE SCIENCE AND BUSINESS movement without an adequate pressing on the governmental structure too, I'm not able to construe with an eligibility at the moment.

I should like pointing out to you here too, I disseminated a lot of thoughts-stuff considering them toward for me and the overall process we are trying to resolve for a long time. If you have a passion and time and keep thoughts interpreted by me interesting and relevant, so you can find the links of essays to where I put relevant comment posts at the end of this post.

No to distract yon from the thread I want to mention with relevancy here however, I need to emphasize a similar essay to yours and quote some parts of my note put on.

*** The Tip of The Spear by George Gantz

I ought to think, the expression - humanity - need to be clarified first. Whether that is true or not, it seems to be a fact (as James Lee Hoover writes in his essay and Turil also brings forth a very diverse extra-ultra brains database conception) our species and population here on our present Earth are quite diverse, even may be intentionally genetically engineered either for a kind of betterment, or conveying lowered capacity being kept under a direction of some ones in charge. My very personal opinion is, all tremendous speculation about this huge topic is not an extra terrestrial matter of things at all. I had found someone's indication in his comment - we may be the creators of our own evolution even conceptualizing GOD or GODs. I can feel similar, therefore I conclude much rather we need to finely discern the operating of Natural evolutionary processes, and a probable consciously and intentionally engineered steerable evolutionary mechanism.

We also should not be unobservant in that of an actual group or social consciousness is mainly determined at institutional levels and may be conditioned by lead forces consisting individuals with service to self or service to others interest being unbalanced in them and even they may be also a kind of groups too. However, mainly they are who own yet presently those peculiar technologies (high energy or subtle energy manipulations with which possible to encroach into the natural matter and energy flowing and allows reality and consciousness manipulations)

***

We need to realize first there may be ones intentionally making or engineering a 'process of uncertainty' on the grounding sciences which would give us an intellectual proof making our awareness clear - how our creative energy and informal forces working behind our thinking process. The contemporary theoretical physics and philosophy of mind and physics is much more and rather would be a possible framework much scientifically speaking and describing the former esoteric mentioning about the layers of energy bodies and chakra system, the spiritual energy and information flow in a genetically arranged physical body in the meantime and both incorporate even at a higher structure level -we call planetary systems - those processes can form a complex cosmical organism.

However, as

*** ...Who Should Be Their Guides into the Future? by David Brown writes and put some question also need to be answered

"...Arthur C. Clarke suggested that a sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic..."

"...Does artificial intelligence have far more connection with molecular biology than with mathematics and foundational issues in physics? .."

"...Do foundational issues in physics have profound connections with psychology and religion?..."

***

You have pointed out in your essay too, the 'Vector of consciousness' and albeit, I can accept the code may be in fundamental patterns and VECTOR EQUILIBRIUM and more about

structural cosmometry, and also the concept of the isotropic vector matrix [cited: "...As Fuller states, because of this it is the zero-phase from which all other forms emerge (as well as all dynamic energy events.."] even it is controversial in itself [cited: '...According to Bucky Fuller, the VE is more appropriately referred to as a "system" than as a structure, due to it having square faces that are inherently unstable and therefore non-structural..."]

I deem, taking a fine discernment between the two notions 'system and structure.' A system may be composed of structure(s) however in broader mathematical sense not all structure can be automorf. Sometimes structures should become too rigid to keeping a system in working, and not necessarily can trasform into itself with an adequate manner. I mean, much about to deal with here the crystal symmetries and its transformations, how the artificially made crystals can substitute and elevate a system ...etc. That is a huge topics.

Albeit, as a present IT expert personally I did not deal either with Artificial Intelligence and probablehistory simulations

, I was intended writing my essay for ones who are seriously dealing with however such possible creational concepts.( Referring back to Empedokles as written above, if there were not such a possibilities ever in the thought it should not never had been in the thought.) However, I pointed out also in my essay the original creational technology being adequate for running a kind of simulations not necessary lays on a ground of a contemporary meant computer technology.

There are so much high topics involved here to put them into right order and context in our mind for our understanding and our present biosphere and noospehere is so constrained yet, there is truly a risk for loosing both our natural human and even any kind of artificially created characteristic which should drive us into a total devastation.

I keep my focus put on

... working with: The - thoughts - the utmost capability for the MAN!

Explanation: The thought is energy and information (on many structured levels, even our emotions, deep senses are as much thoughts we are able to consciously formulate into being been intellectually aware, we should say a man is composed of his thoughts and his way for living in healthy organism and organization keeping his thoughts both intellectually and emotionally balanced. ) which allows us to create, to materialize around us our ideas, desires, will etc., independently from the existence exists in any kind of form we can conceive about it. The thought both local and non-local and exist neither in time and space and as much as the existence exists. So that above comprehension is what makes us to be a higher order being.

We are on the way to work out an utmost 'philosophy' at which apex should be the science about - physics of thoughts -! Used for our mutual benefit and health not for being our own autocratic oppressor!

The problem is not the 'money'! But, - How to change our thoughts about to be anything in our possession! Nothing and no one is in our possession in the Nature! However everything is at our disposal to live, work with it and using it, even researching with it to further develop. However,our ability is that too, drawing limits to ourselves - what is worth to know and steer, truly.

So who is entitled to own and steer anyone's thoughts by any means - magic, technology even any kind of ideology? This is a deep conflict yet between the higher intellect and emotions and all about how the free-will may be achieved and maintained in a socially organized living systems - a.k.a. kept in a living history database of our many lives memory under scrutiny yet.

***

My essay body content was not quite unfolding what its abstract suggested owing to the given 9 page was not sufficient for that huge topics. I focused much rather on the message given in the title. However, I truly think missing the crown of the physics of thought or at least its reconciliation with a re-considered philosophy being the utmost underlying ideological framework describing nature, society, and generally the most principal all-pervasive laws of the thinking process, with much simpler terms being - understandable - comprehesible for anyone. (For example as the notion philosppy exerts a [Latin-Greek: 'Philo' = (in composition) partake in, savant + 'Sophia' = wisdom of life] , but giving such enough geometry explanations which eligible for our understanding too living our life in the meantime as an average human.

I gladly contribute or participate in a kind of FREE OPEN project.

I look forward for hearing from you even to continue our conversation in the given e-mails, if you feel so.

Hi Vladimir,

Very interesting essay. I like how you considered various risks, walked through great philosopher's ideas, and proposed practical ways to make them helpful for humanity.
