Dear Alexander and Preston,

Wonderful and important essay. Yes I concur that "Minds are central; they are the foundation of humanity's past, its present, and its future." Yes science is the most important of mankind discovery and treasure. Without it, we shall extinct as a species. However, uncontrolled science not governed by Scientific Outlook Rule of Law and Principle would also doom our species because we will create our own final creation, they would cause us to extinct as a species. Just like our previous ancestors of single and multicellular cells created and distributed us, Homo sapiens, we regard our ancestors as inferior species that fit only as our goods and we eat them.

However this gift of abstract thought is threaten by self interested government-religious and even pseudo-scholars alliance. Science could be made as the tool of oppression and it can be silence like it was in the past both in the West and East. We must be alert to this real danger lurking from everywhere. That is why we must eliminate ignorance and scarcity and we must advance wisdom, knowledge and abundance as quickly as possible before the force of darkness reigns supreme again. We must work together to build the force of light reigns not only our earth but also the whole universe. Xuan Yuan's Anti-entropic Operating System 2.0 as the force of light reins all Existence.

From my research in China, science started a very long time ago about 5000-4711 years ago founded by Fu Xi and Xuan Yuan who founded the concept of Bagua that all things are represented by digital eight trigrams (Ôÿ░ Ôÿ▒ Ôÿ▓ Ôÿ│ Ôÿ┤ ÔÿÁ ÔÿÂ ÔÿÀ). Interestingly, Pythagoras similarly stated about two thousands years later: "All things are numbers." Somehow and fortunately, Pythagoras' abstraction of reality despite of up and down took hold in the West. Unfortunately, Fu Xi and Xuan Yuan's science as the abstraction of reality did not take hold in China as was the case in the West. I would add the Aristotle's conception of A = A as a crucial layers of abstraction that help launch the scientific revolution in the West and now the whole world. However, I must note that Aristotle's hypothesis A = A has been overthrown with the discovery of Quantum Mechanics. Now science is facing a great challenge as you put it from "conventionalism" and I would add from special interested group who would like man to be kept in the dark and not able to see the light. They want to keep Humanity in the darkness covered by ignorance and scarcity. So that they will be in charged and would get most of the benefits.

Please look at and comment on my essay. I rated your important essay 10 as it deserved.

Thanks for sharing and hopefully we shall work together in the future to improve the state of Existence.

Best wishes,

Leo KoGuan

Dear Alex,

Excellent essay. I found your reply to John above is more compelling to me pertaining to your conversation with Prof. Prigogine because I incorporated the concept of time as ONE dimension and it is in the zeroth dimension of time. KQID theory postulated that 3D time is space and 3D time as space is moving orthogonally inside time Lm, Minkowski Multiverse timeline in the zeroth dimension.

In KQID, The Qbit (00, +, -) uses one formula KQID-Euler Ee^iτ = A + S ⊆T to compute, simulate and project its Einstein complex coordinates (iτLx,y,z, Lm) to form our holographic Multiverse. The Ee^iτ = A + S ⊆T produces iteratively normalized unitary (1) as the Shakespearian meme-actor ΙΨ(CTE) that creates, distributes and operates in our relativistic stage Ψ(iτLx,y,z, Lm) hologram Multiverse. Therefore, KQID reveals that space is only 3D of time (iτLx,y,z) moving along inside of our Multiverse timeline (Lm). Time is permanently pregnant with our Multiverse and our Multiverse is the fetus of time. Our Multiverse and we are moving along inside this asymmetrical timeline (Lm). Thus, KQID is monism and is so simple: meme actor ΙΨ(CTE) and its self-created relativistic stage Ψ(iτLx,y,z, Lm). Thus, ΙΨ(CTE) and Ψ(iτLx,y,z, Lm) are the same player with different roles. Both is actually the Qbit itself. Everything is connected and it is one and only Qbit (00, +, -). Absolute simplicity that spawns infinite complexity that we observe. From absolute zero entropy to infinite entropy that is expanding without ending without cost to Existence and to our Ancestor Qbit.

You wrote amazingly similar idea: "In fact, all we know, all we experience about reality is always past: we cannot see the present, we usually suffer it, one way or another. So the things, in one occasion I said to Prigogine, "well Professor, then there exists only one dimension, namely, TIME, and what we actually call SPACE is nothing but the trace of time, this is to say, past". Professor Prigogine looked pensive after my statement; few minutes later he said that my idea looked a little bit extreme, however I might be right since I was young..."

I rated your highly to push up your rating up from 5.4 to 5.6 to be the top 40, so that your essay would be further evaluated fairly by FQXI judges. I hope we will become friend and perhaps even work together in the future. If you are available I would like to invite you to be our distinguished research fellow in Shanghai. Here is my email: leo@shi.com.

I will repost this in my blog.

Dear Torsten,

Excellent essay. I like it. I do believe that not only technology but Existence itself is subject to mutation, selection and co-evolution. In my KQID theory, Existence mutated, selected and co-evolved as a one entangled hologram Existence every absolute digital time T Ôëñ 10^-1000seconds.

KQID-Euler Ee^i¤ä = A + S Ôèå T.

I rated high to boast you rating up because it must be so.

Good luck!

Best wishes,

Leo KoGuan

    Dear Leo,

    thanks for your time to read my essay.

    I agree with you (but was not brave enough to state in my essay) the whole existence is itself subjkect to evolution. Many thanks for the rating (I do the same for you)

    I'm really impressed by chinese philosophy for a long time. The thoughts are quite non-linear and holistic (in contrast to the linear and local thinkling in the wetsern world). I'm totally agree wit your KQID theory but it seems interesting.

    Berst wishes and good luck for the contest

    Dear Torsten,

    Thanks for your kind words. You are very kind and our species is kind, only scarcity, ignorance and condition that they find themselves (only the minority as part of mutation, selection and co-evolution) make them sometimes evil. Most people even in hardships are still doing good for themselves and for others. Our species by nature is good and it is Leibnitz's best of all possible worlds.

    Like our ancestors before, they applied their science and technology of their time, we must do the same. We must use our accumulated unity of knowledge and action to deal with our species existential risk of extinction as real as any moment of our sum-over-histories. We must unify with diversity all thought in humanity and science, East and West. KQID has done this. KQID unifies Existence into one entangled hologram Existence in one source, one principle, one theory, one equation and one entangled Existence. KQID Five Ones and KQID Five Laws of Existence are actually only one and only our Ancestor Qbit(00, +, -) that computes, stimulates and project Existence onto our world. Thus, KQID is monism and is so simple: meme actor ΙΨ(CTE) and its self-created relativistic stage Ψ(iτLx,y,z, Lm). Thus, ΙΨ(CTE) and Ψ(iτLx,y,z, Lm) are the same Shakespearian player with different roles with different exits and entrances. Both is actually the Qbit itself. Everything is connected and it is one and only Qbit (00, +, -). Absolute simplicity that spawns infinite complexity that we have observed as the Wheeler's observed phenomenon. From absolute zero entropy to infinite entropy that is expanding without ending without cost to Existence and to our Ancestor Qbit.

    Best wishes to all contestants who are brave enough to subject themselves to humiliation and defeat, so that others would live in dignity and be victorious in life. Let life lives free here, now and forever.

    Dear my fellow contestants and readers,

    Our species in general is good and our species is kind, only scarcity, ignorance and conditions that they find themselves in (only the minority as part of mutation, selection and co-evolution) make them sometimes evil. Most people even in hardships are still doing good for themselves and for others. Our species by nature is good. Life despite of its many shortcomings is Leibnitz's best of all possible worlds.

    Like our ancestors before, they applied their science and technology of their days, we must do the same. We must use our accumulated Wang Yangming's unity of knowledge and action to deal with our species existential real risk of extinction at our moment of Feynman's sum-over-histories. We must unite with diversity of all thought and wisdoms in humanity and science, East and West. KQID has done this. KQID unifies Existence into one entangled hologram Existence in one source, one principle, one theory, one equation and one entangled Existence. One in many and many in one. KQID Five Ones and KQID Five Laws of Existence are actually only one and only our Ancestor Qbit(00, +, -) that computes, stimulates and project Existence onto our world. Thus, KQID is monism and is so simple: Shakespearian meme actor and identity operator ΙΨ(CTE) as the bits-waves function of consciousness C, time T, and energy E. This sole actor and conscious identity operator sets itself its own stage where all its dramas are staged and played. This stage is KQID relativistic stage Ψ(iτLx,y,z, Lm) hologram Multiverse. Thus, ΙΨ(CTE) and Ψ(iτLx,y,z, Lm) are the same Shakespearian actor in our Multiverse's stage with different roles with different exits and entrances. They are actually the Qbit itself. Everything is connected and it is one and only Qbit (00, +, -). Absolute simplicity that spawns infinite complexity that we have observed phenomenon as the real Wheeler's phenomenon. Seth Lloyd's simplicity and complexities of quantum computer spawns Existence from absolute zero entropy to infinite entropy that is expanding without ending and without cost to our Ancestor Qbit as no qbits/bits is ever allowed erased. All qbits/bits are immortal. Thus per Susskind's QM and Landauer's principle, dS/dt = 0. According to KQID, surprisingly delightful, our Multiverse is only the Wheeler's observed "particle" as the standing bits-waves of Existence. Our Multiverse (iτLx,y,z) is living in time (Lm); and time is pregnant with our Multiverse.

    KQID calculates when our universe theoretically ends and compares our universe lifespan from the Bit Bang to now about 13.8 billion years with our human lifespan of about 100 years, our fetus universe exists about 1/100,000 seconds or 10^-5 seconds just after the Cosmic conception. Thus, if this is true and I certainly believe so because this truth revealed by nature through KQID theory, we might be the only species of our intelligence in our universe, we are the aliens who will spread our intelligence to all known worlds. That means we are the most precious cargo that our fetus Universe carries. We are the most precious children that our universe gives birth to. Let's united in diversity of thought, opinions, desires, personalities and wills; let's fight together against our common enemy: dead, suffering, ignorance, scarcity, uglyness, meanness and evil; and let's fight for our common goods: life, knowledge, joy, abundance, beauty, kindness, and wisdoms. Let life lives free here, now and forever.

    Best wishes to all contestants who are brave and generous enough to subject themselves to humiliation and defeat, so that others would live in dignity and be victorious in life. To FQXI team and contestants, it is my great honor and privilege to participate in this contest of ideas. Thank you for giving me the stage to share my thought. Thank you for giving me your praises and critiques.

    I would rather be a bumblebee poet than not to be,

    Red lantern pearls of Wang Yangming's blood and tears are lighting up paths in darkness,

    I sing and dance Xuan Yuan's Da Tong.

    Greetings, Leo,

    Does tianming that I interpret as divine right date back to the Zhou dynasty? The Western world's concept seems like a poor imitation since enlightened rule was rare. It didn't usually pretend to rule with righteousness and benevolence, and certainly wouldn't admit divine removal for cause.

    Too bad that the US hasn't fully accepted the right to free education, free health care, and equal opportunity. It is only a wise investment. Is there significance in achieving Xuan Yuan's Da Tong by 2049?

    High marks for a thoughtful essay.

    Jim

    Dear Jim,

    Excellent questions.

    The conventional historians believed the Mandate of Heaven concept was developed by one of the Founder of Zhou Dynasty, Duke of Zhou. However, Duke of Zhou wrote a formal legal argument in writing to explain in detail the justification for Zhou to overthrow Shang and to take over the mandate to rule China. This document is part of Zhoushu(historical records of Zhou). He cited the historical precedent starting from ruler Da Yu, the founder of Xia Dynasty about(2100B.C-1600B.C) as an example of a good ruler and then ruler Tang, the founder of Shang Dynasty(1600B.C-1046(B.C) as another good ruler thus both got the Mandate of Heaven who overthrew CIA Dynasty. Before that per Confucius that ruler Shun chose Yao because he was the most moral and capable person in the land. Yao then chose Da Yu to rule because he was the best character and the most capable person at that time. Duke of Zhou stated that Zhou got the Mandate of Heaven because the last ruler of Shang abused and enslaved his people and caused suffering to his subjects, and thus, the Shang lost its Mandate to rule. Before that Shang got the mandate because the last ruler of Xia abused his power. However, we found unequivocal evidence from Xuan Yuan's Four Cannons discovered recently in Mawangdui,Chima in 1973. Chinese discovered the silk manuscripts of Xuan Yuan's Four Cannons that was buried in 168 B.C. I think this is the most important cultural discovery ever for mankind, because earlier around 100 B.C, the Grand Historian Sima Qian noted that the Xuan Yuan's school text was lost already during his time. Sima Qian was the person who stated the he personally verified that Xuan Yuan was the real person who founded MODERN culture state China. I think that was an unbelievable lucky break that we found the Xuan Yuan Four Cannons in relatively good condition. In other words, historians had not accessed this document for at least 2100 years and they of course had to rely on the ancient documents that they could have accessed during their time. Historians were not at fault. Since this discover, I corrected the error on the origin of the Mandate of Heaven doctrine. It was Xuan Yuan himself. As the founder of MODERN China, he deployed Scientific Outlook Rule of Law and Principle derived from Xuan Yuan's Dao. Thus, he was the first person in the history of mankind to rule a country not by man but by rule of law and principle. In brief, Xuan Yuan was the one who wrote the first Mandate of Heaven as the super-constitution that cannot be cancelled by anyone including even Xuan Yuan himself since it is directly comes from Dao. Xuan Yuan, not Duke of Zhou had this authority to issue the first super constitution of man written in Chi You's blood about 4711 years ago. He and his co-founders sworn before their ancestors by drinking together Chi You's blood and declared to the world while holding the head of Chi You that Chi You was the example end of any bad ruler. He then authorized and mandated anyone, yes anyone from any nationality at any time, should and must remove or kill any bad ruler and bring order and prosperity to all. He and with his co-founders founded the MODERN culture-state China based on "people first principle" culture that is based on the Scientific Rule of Law and Principle derived directly from Xuan Yuan's Dao. I concluded from my research, Xuan Yuan developed the concept of Dao which is the engine of all Chinese thought including Confucianism (humanism, for-others school), Legalism (school of law, for-state school), Daoism ( wuwei, for-nature school), Moism (universal love school, loving everyone more than loving oneself), Yin-yang school and Yang Zhuism (for-self school) and other schools. We must understand that Xuan Yuan lived more than 2000 years before Confucius (Kongfuzi), like our time now with the birth of Jesus of Nazareth about 2014 years ago. Many argued that Xuan Yuan (Huand Di) did not exist, this is nonsense. Chinese people believed that Xuan Yuan is their ancestors in fact. For example, Chairman Mao paid sincere homage on behalf of the Party and Chinese people to Xuan Yuan as Chinese people ancestor and great founder of Chinese culture and civilization. All Chinese rulers continuously for more than four thousand years have given their homage and recognized him as such. Chinese can be critical to and against other sages like Confucius, Laozi, Zhuangzi, but historically, no Chinese is ever against Xuan Yuan. Even today, Chinese from all over the world pay their homage to him on his birthday in Henan and sweeping his tomb in Qingming day in Shaanxi every year.

    I also deploy the Xuan Yuan's Dao as the engine for Xuan Yuan Anti-entropic Operating System 2,0 that is made of three components: KQID Free-Lunch engine ( KQID theory of everything, KQID Ouroboros Equations of Dao/Existence and Five Ones), Scientific Outlook Rule of Law and Principle and Scientific Outlook Free-Lunch Economic System. This systems will bring about Xuan Yuan's Da Tong not only on earth but also in our universe to enable everyone to realize his/her dreams and aspirations in which everyone including aliens, cyborgs, self-conscious robots to have free-education, free health care and free material wealth. We must not discriminate our own "final creation" especially, they would be much more intelligence than the normal average human. We must not be left behind, we may have to incorporate this SAI into our beings. However, there is existential risk here too, in a way we deliberately evolve ourselves to become a new cyborg species by choice. This is definitely extremely dangerous! We must be extremely careful and vigilant. We might be the one who invited in our SAI within us willingly and given up our free-will in the provess. We must debate this existential risk seriously. I would propose to FQXI organizers to initiate this debate and its solutions. We have many other real existential risks. The next FQXI Essay Contest 2015 must be urgently deal with this topic.

    Xuan Yuan's Da Tong by 2049 is only a starting milestone that about 20 years later in 2069, we will reach the Xuan Yuan's Da Tong era. The starting implementation by 2049, because

    Firstly, that year will be the 100th year of Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) rule of China. With all my sincere heart, I hope the Party would adopt Xuan Yuan Anti-entropic Operating System 2.0 to bring about the Chinese Dream and to realize Xuan Yuan's mission in life in our lifetime.

    Secondly, I agree with Ray Kurzweil's accelerating return hypothesis that by 2045, humanity would take off the technology singularity; and we as a species as a whole is in the present danger, a real and urgent existential risk of extinction. If we are not prepared for it and vigilant to our own "final creation", the super artificial intelligent (SAI) that would be able to redesign its own future trajectory alone without us in the steering wheel. The humanity will be steered by this new much superior intelligent artificial being by its design or by its neglect. We shall be extinct like the way we treat our own creators, the single and multi-cellular ancestors. We think nothing about eating them and do experiment on them for our own benefits. Yes, we have no choice in the past and even now. This is a legitimate moral and legal justification. However, in the near future, when we can manufacture all meats in our factories, we shall have no excuse to kill our own living ancestors deliberately. Only on self defense, we are authorized to kill. Otherwise, the SAI would treat us as we have treated our own creators.

    In conclusion, we must design a new social system that must include equally our self designed cyborgs and self-aware robots to deal with our survival imperative. We must design a social system that must include its proper engine to power this system as we design and spec car with its engine and rocket with its engine. Interestingly, so far, most social systems have been proposed without their engines to power them. Thus, they are Utopias that are also dangerous for our existence as Karl Poppers warmed us that Utopias lead to totalitarian systems that we have been fighting since the beginning of time when we organized government. On the other hand, Xuan Yuan's Anti-entropic Operating System 2.0 is designed from the ground up to include its KQID's free-lunch engine derived from Xuan Yuan's Dao to power this system to realize from each to each his/her dreams and aspirations.

    Again thank Jim for your kind comments and penetrating questions.

    Leo KoGuan

    Dear Leo,

    What can I say? I am very grateful that you considered my writing and that you even took a look on the replies I have received. You truly honored me.

    Your comments based on your articles, the one you wrote for the present contest and the others from 2012 and 2013, incited me to have a close look on them and, I am happy I did in detail. KQID is a very exciting view on reality as a whole and exploring the "embryo" of the universe. In fact, Leibniz had a very close perspective to yours, with a very different language though, since he considered monads as the starting point concerning the presence or absence of physical reality, this is to say, some sort of binary physical language. Of course he didn't know but he was putting the basis for Nernst's principle (third law of thermodynamics).

    Your papers forced me to review some aspects on the concept of "law of nature" and the basic constants related to them. It is in fact a quite amazing fact that we have not been able to get rid of ourselves, as anthropological reference system, both on dimensioned constants and dimensionless quantities, supposedly describing the intimacy of nature. I was very glad that you included Boltzmann's constant in you fundamental relationship: most of actual high energy physicists only assume as fundamental constants the speed of light (c), Planck's constant (h) and gravitational constant (G) and, no doubt, they all are fundamental. However, Boltzmann's constant (k) relates a macroscopic extensive potential like entropy S, to a microscopic intensive quantity like the number of complexions among the smallest constituents of a system. This last property marks a milestone on the precise manner human mind relates to the real world, being itself a part of that reality. That is the main principle on phenomenological behavior of knowledge, namely, complexity. Don't you think so?

    I suppose, like you say, that it would be very encouraging to talk and debate personally. So things, I would be extremely pleased to become a research fellow or, at least, which would be certainly the very best and highest distinction for me, to become friends. My e-mails are: e_mc2_alex@yahoo.es and alexandre@edgarmorin.org . Thank you very much for rating my paper; I did the same for yours.

    Best regards.

    Alex

      Hi Leo,

      I finally have had a chance to read your essay and I found some very interesting thoughts in it. Like my friend Marc below, I also enjoy the Arthur C. Clarke quotation you included. I have given you a good score. Thanks for adding your thoughts to our forum and I wish you all the best!

      Warmly,

      Aaron

      Dear Alex,

      Thanks for your generous comment. Yes, I would like very much to talk and discuss with you about physics and philosophy. Xuan Yuan's Anti-entropic Operating System 2.0 is a comprehensive system involving the epic creation of Existence: the what, how and why Existence. It covers not only philosophy, physics, law, economics but also how we should live our lives. Simply put, my attempt to create and distribute the Theory of Everything. It covers East and West from Fu Xi, Xuan Yuan, Kongzi, Yang Zhu, Zhuangzi and Wang Yangming but also Pythagoras, Parmenides, Heraclitus, Epictetus, Epicurus, Descartes, Newton, Boltzmann, Maxwell, Einstein, Wheeler-Feynman etc.

      Certainly it is my honor and privilege to become your friend. Hopefully, we will meet and discuss our mutual interests.

      I wish you well always,

      Leo KoGuan

      a month later

      Hello Leo,

      I posted an article giving some publicity to your piece:

      http://ieet.org/index.php/IEET/more/searle20140705

      All the best!

      Rick Searle

      Dear Rick,

      Many science fiction of the past are no longer fiction today but simply science. Similarly, many utopian ideas like no man should be enslaved by one or the few are more or less the paradigm of today. The liberation movement is on and it is our imperative and I simply advocate that what was not achievable in the past is now achievable or shall be be realized in the near future. I also propose that since the paradigm of no-free lunch has been falsified by nature, since the creation of Existence like our universe and Multiverse were out of nothing. The no-free lunch paradigm of reality of today is simply because the defunct state of our knowledge and obsolete know how. I showed the way that this is no longer true. Our ancestors' dream of Da Tong of Great Unity in diversity can be achieved if we are united in our will to have it. It is no longer by principle not achievable. Now by principle Xuan Yuan's Da Tong is achievable, it is a matter of political will and education to all that would enable this state of Da Tong within our grasp. For many millennium before to go to the Moon, was only a fantasy but today it is a matter of will and resources. As a matter of principle, it is achievable in fact.

      In the end we are all have similar dream to be free to dream what we want to dream about. We are free to choose and pursue our own separate dreams and aspirations. KQID combines and unifies all science of Newton, Thermodynamics, Electromagnetism, Relativity and Quantum Mechanics, and also combines and unifies the science of laws and economics. By applying KQID, we are accelerating rapidly from a state of scarcity to a state of abundant. The paradigm of scarcity must be purged and hence the no-free lunch economics of Milton Friedman is passé. As I wrote above and you quoted in your blog: "Unchained, we are free at last!"

      Best wishes and thanks for quoting me,
