Vladimir,

Somewhat of a Renaissance Man and martyr to free thought, Florensky had many contributions.

Jim Hoover

Yes, Jim, you are absolutely right. Pavel Florensky paid special attention to the morphology of the space-time of primitive cultures, Antiquity and the Middle Ages. I believe that the idea of "ProstranstvoPonimanie"/"SpaceUnderstanding" is one of the main ideas. It gives a "push" to the search for a new ontology of space.

December 10, 2013 in Sergiev Posad, the memorial sign "Victims of the faith in Christ in the years of persecutions and repressions of the 20th century" was established by the Foundation of Pavel Florensky. The opening of the sign was timed to the memorable date - the 75th anniversary of the execution and martyrdom of Pavel Florensky. Yours faithfully, Vladimir

Vladimir,

Thanks for checking out my essay. There are not very many forums to share our attempts to discover truth and meaning, and to air our own thrusts at truth. Do you have an interest in the mystery of dark matter as well? There are a number of theories paraded around, even in our cache of essays here. My speculation on anapole-like particles tried to ascribe special properties to interacting physical forces in creating dark matter. Don't know if it would bear up under more scrutiny or not, just speculation.

Any thoughts.

Jim

Jim,

To overcome the crisis of understanding in the fundamental science needed a deeper look into matter, space, time. It is necessary to have a total dialectical-ontological unification of matter across all levels of the Universum's existence as holistic process of generating structures in the spirit of Plato: "nurse", " godmother" - matter is what generates all forms. This understanding of "matter" gives the opportunity to overcome the uncertainties in the foundations of physics. Today a need for a more profound global brainstorming. Vladimir

You are welcome,with pleasure Mr Rogozhin.

All the best from Belgium.

Retruning about your thoughts.I ask me also how is it possible that we have this global state.It is a catastrophic global reality.The solutions exists;I don't understand why the world bank ONU G2O...do not liberate the funds for an industrialisation of our solar systems.The lobbies of oils,gas..shall utilise their products for this solar system and on earth they finace the harmonisation of ecosystems.We can give water,food,energy,jobs, hopes to all.It is now that it must be made, we are at doors of many chaotical exponetials.It does not lack nor matter, nor space, nor energy.It lacks a kind of real global universal governance respecting our universal laws and foundamentals.There it is a real global circus and we go all in the wall.Sad.The crisis are everywhere ,odd in fact.If it is a hidden camera, frankly I am suggesting to tell us it now.lol :)

Let's hope that this planet takes its responsabilities....It is a moral obligation this liberation of funds , all wins without exception all the 1987 governments...

Yes, Steve, we earthlings need a new clean energy. We need a new, holistic picture of the world. This must be done by the fundamental science along with the "mother of all sciences" - Philosophy. It's time to "collect the stones". Sincerely, Vladimir

Sorry I would say 197 governments,I write without rereading and too quickly.

I beleive the same ,it is time to collect indeed the stones and its foundamentals.The collective consciousness d say Jung is became an essential of harmonisation where altruism and universalism are torchs of truth.

If it is not made, we shall add many chaotical exponentials due to limits and umbers on this spherical volume the earth,this sphere turning around a sphere Inside the sphere.We must open our humanity, this earth to this universe.It is a new step of evolution.Homo sapiens sapiens universalensis :) is a better meaning.

ps the composting at big global scale and harmonisation of ecosystems and optimisation of interactions between anaimals and vegetals are foundamentals.Even for space, we need these foundamentals.The earth can be harmonised in respecting our entropical principle, we have this matter and ener'gy and gravitation at a paradoxal infinite in all.It is just how we utilise these fondamentals in a collective universal point of vue after all.The moral obligation is a foundamental also.It is perhaps time to unite the universalists of all countries before this chaos and disorders in the exponentials.It is now simply that it must be made this liberation of funds and universalisation spherisation of this sphere earth.We are youngs still but we evolve...like all in all.

Best from Belgium

Yes, Steve, we must all together overcome the crisis of understanding.And first of all in fundamental science.

Yours faithfully,

Vladimir

Dear Vladimir,

I read with great pleasure your charming essay, which shows an extraordinary interest in philosophy and science. I especially liked the references to Heraclitus, great pillar of the history of thought, whose fragments continue to stimulate my thinking and the human one in general. But I also particularly appreciated your remarks about Husserl, Whitehead, and Pavel Florensky, thinkers who have moved on the ridge between mathematics and philosophy and have expressed deep considerations on their relationships. It is regrettable that Florensky is not known and read as it deserves in some western countries! I also consider attractive your holistic approach to reality. I am very attracted by that view, but unfortunately I doubt that it is scientifically provable.

A relative limit of your essay is, in my humble opinion, that there is a difference between the first and the second part. The first is more structured and argued, while the last pages are more sketchy, perhaps because you talk about too many things together and you have to limit yourself to simple hints, to stay within the bounds of the contest rules. However, it is a fine contribution and a good read, for which I thank you!

Kind regards and my best wishes for all,

Giovanni

    Dear Giovanni,

    Thank you very much for your in-depth comprehensive commentary. The second part of my essay was done in abbreviated form, to enable the reader to carry out independently the ontological construction of the structure of the Universum generating process. I described in more detail the methodology of the ontological construction in the essay "The Formula of Justice: The OntoTopological Basis of Physica and Mathematica" (Contest FQXi 2015).

    In the final part of the essay, I presented concisely all my ideas on the problems of philosophy of consciousness, ontology, philosophy of mathematics and philosophy of physics. I consider the solution of the problem of ontological basification (foundation / justification ) of mathematics as the key problem for the whole system of fundamental knowledge, for overcoming the modern crisis of understanding.

    Your comment is very valuable to me also because you are deeply interested in the problems of the philosophy of mathematics.

    I wish success in the Contest!

    Yours faithfully,

    Vladimir

    It could be made here on FQXI in explaining to governments that it is a moral obligation to find now the best adapted global universal solutions.They shall listen if we are strond and together with a kind of sciences commission against these chaos and disorders.It can be made this liberation of funds for this solar system and harmonisation of this planet where all wins without exception.

    Hope that it will be made.

    All the best from belgium

    Vladimir,

    I wish this was not a contest, but a group project. You seem to be working around and near a core idea, but not fully there. I can now see that I was trying to find the same core, but from a very different direction. Perhaps together the sum would have been greater than the parts. Your breath of knowledge is remarkable and your writing is beautiful.

    I hope you do well in the contest.

    Sincerely,

    Jeff

      Jeff,

      Many thanks for the insightful and inspirational thought. I agree with you. I call this project for science - "global brainstorming". Brainstorming on collecting ideas to overcome the crisis in the foundations of "fundamental knowledge." The "arrow of knowledge" should be directed to the search for the "core of knowledge", its ontological structure. I see this as problem number 1 - the super hard problem of the ontological basification of mathematics (knowledge).

      Sincerely,

      Vladimir

      Dear Vladimir Rogozhin,

      With great interest I read your essay, which of course is worthy of high praise.

      You very correctly put questions and answer them.

      «What way should we choose for overcoming total crisis of understanding in fundamental science? It should be the way of metaphysical construction of new comprehensive model of ideality on the basis of the modified ontology.»

      «the understanding of world and worldview is the solution of the problem of ontological structure of space and creation of new model of basic ideality ("idea of ideas", "eidos of eidoses") establishing ontological framework, carcass and foundation of knowledge.»

      Great work.

      However, you have considered only one side of ideality - "idea of ideas", "eidos of eidoses".

      The second concept of ideality interests me most: the ontology of "the use of ideal and abstract properties of matter and fields," which is used, for example, to simplify physical models.

      The whole experience of mankind shows that there are no analogues for ideal and abstract properties of matter and fields, except for supernatural properties.

      Vladimir Voevodsky: «What we call crisis of the Russian science now isn't crisis only of the Russian science. There is a crisis of world science. Real progress will consist in very serious fight of science with religion which will end with their integration.»

      In my opinion, it is the widespread use of ideal and abstract properties of matter and fields, assuming their realizability in the universe, is a key mistake and the cause of the crisis in science.

      The whole experience of mankind shows that there are no analogues for ideal and abstract properties of matter and fields, except for supernatural properties.

      Werner Heisenberg wrote: «The physics of particles informs us, strictly speaking, on fundamental structures of the nature, but not on fundamental particles. These structures are much more abstract, than it seemed 50 years ago.»

      For example, problems in quantum mechanics associated with the use of ideal and abstract properties of the medium of propagation of light (empty space) that lead to the collapse of the wave function and singularity are known. As a consequence, false tasks are set for the development of normalizations and calibrations. All this leads to, in practice, fruitless attempts to answer the question about the causes of self-organization of matter.

      The introduction of nonlinear transformation of elements in the medium of a physical vacuum and a dissipative function leads to the use of the Mathieu causal equations for quantum parametric resonance and solitons, instead of causeless Schrödinger equations. The process of self-organization of matter are carried out according to the principles of the heat pump in parametric resonance and solitons, is a direct and simple answer to the questions of this contest.

      And how do you think, how relevant is the individual philosophical theme for the second part of the interpretation of ideality?

      I wish you success in the contest.

      Kind regards,

      Vladimir Fedorov

        Dear Vladimir,

        Many thanks for a deep and important comment.

        In my understanding, "Ideality" as an ontological foundation of fundamental physics is the ultimate (extreme, absolute) forms of existence of matter (absolute states): absolute rest (linear state, Сontinuum) + absolute motion (vortex state, Discretum) + absolute formation (wave state, Dis-Continuum). "Ideality" is that ultimate value to which the matter is directed, pushed by the "soul of matter" - the ontological (structural) memory (entelechy). Those. "Ideality" inside matter and outside matter, its ultimate goal. It is possible to imagine: ideality "holds" (embraces) and directs the development of matter from two strings. The concept of "field" appears as a generalizing concept of all three limiting states of matter.

        I am sure that the reason for understanding the crisis in fudamentalnoy science - it is a crisis of ontology and dialectics. There is a need for a deeper understanding of matter in the spirit of dialectics and ontology of Plato, and ultimately in "grasping" (understanding) the ontological (primordial) structure, and thus understanding "the self-organization of matter".

        Any physical theory that claims to be fundamental must have a solid ontological foundation. When creating a "fundamental theory", the "Occam's razor" should be extremely sharp. The current crisis is a conceptual crisis and its overcoming requires the introduction of not only new concepts - attractors, but also a radical revision and refinement of old concepts. Several fundamenoseological paradigms should work in fundamental physics, but the ontological basis must be one.

        Yours faithfully,

        Vladimir

        Dear Vladimir,

        I thank you for a great piece of philosophical work !

        Indeed the fundamental structures of our reality are all a question mark.

        We all are looking for the reference of reference but we cannot find any secure point in time or space, it is only the "self" nd even that is difficult to explain.

        I also tried in my participation to find this reference, the thing I found is maybe a direction towards and then I realised that also this road is hyperbolicly approaching this goal,, and wherever you are the distance seems still as great as in the beginning.

        I hope that after reading this little intro you will find some time to read my essay "The Purpose of Life", I await your esteemed comment and rating.

        best regards

        Wilhelmus
