Dear Yehuda,

Indeed as you mention we are "ONE" in this contest of FQXi.

We all are interpreting our awareness of reality and if we are searching for a goal. As I mentioned in my essay we are like a group of soap bubbles , each one with unique subjective information but also with objective information that is the result of being here together. But is remains an emergeing phenomenon...

Wilhelmus de Wilde,

You seem to say that the singularity that each individual feel is just an 'integral' within the given limits of a continuous reality. A very nice idea connecting mathematics and philosophy. Mathematics and philosophy always go hand in hand. 'Infinity', 'continuous' and 'simultaneity' all go together, and each can create a mystic feeling. The lack-luster 'finite', 'grainy' and 'localized' reality is disappointing.

Considering the metaphysics content, this is the best essay I have read in the present contest. In terms of physics content also, it is the best, provided QM is correct. However, I differ regarding QM: light is streams of rotating particle-pairs, which create three-dimensional wave-patterns; so it shows the properties of waves also; there is no wave-particle duality and consequent uncertainty.

In my proposed model, matter is grainy, and so everything connected with matter is finite. The finite universe remains in an infinite loop of pulsations - the only possible way a finite thing can exist in an infinite frame. So the 'infinite possibilities' (that you visualize) get reduced to finite possibilities, and ultimately to just one possibility that is, a pulsating universe, which cannot exist in any other form.

As matter is perfectly grainy, each individual is real, a real singularity, and his consciousness is just one of the allowed possibilities in a finite set, not part of or entangled with the infinite Total Consciousness. The difference comes from finite vs infinity, and grainy vs continuous. Poles apart, and that creates an affinity.

    Dear Jose

    Thank you for your enlightning post.

    Of course QM is grainy, it is the essence of the this way of thinking.

    A way of thinking is expressed as "idea". Ideas are also constituted of parts because no idea can exist without time, it is the "order" of the parts of the idea that are constituting a new idea through consciousness.

    The infinite loop of "pulsations" as you name it, is also a way of thinking, so in my perception an availability, thee reducing is again the result of time, we just cannot perceive a timeless and spaceless infinity of thoughts. But any thought is a part of the TOTAL, without the smallest there is no Total.

    So we agree that our 3-D universe is an emergent phenomenon.

    Quanta does not mean: inbetween these "units" there is a "space".

      My dear Wilhelmus,

      I can be with you completely agree, when I see how growing my grandchildren in the other world than it has been in our time.

      I can also think that maybe the crocodile can be born from the chiken eggs with the time! However, I never can think that energy preservation law, or the value of pi (3,14 ...), can be changeable, in the past, or in the future.

      I have initially put high score on your essay because it is informative and written just beautiful! Excuse me if something is not that!

      Best wishes

        Hi Wihelmus,

        No she is dead 3 years ago and my grang father also like my father.I have no brother nor sister,alone with two small dogs.She is dead due to cancer and depression.I have had a lot in 41 years you know.I try to take the force of this faith instead of this depression due to an ocean of sufferings and personal sufferings.This planet is sometimes very difficult psychologically speaking.But it is like that,some have easier others more difficult.I accept my situation and I try to evolve.I am thanking you Wihelmus ,It is nice in all case,take care.

        Friendly

        Dear George,

        In your emergent reality (the one you are experiencing right now) and in our collective NOW memory, energy preservation and pi are stable,. Changing of life-line may reveal that they may be changing, when you change life lines you are not aware of the specific changes.

        I thank you for your rating, but it is best not to talk about in the threads I think.

        best regards

        Wilhelmus

        Wilhelmus de Wilde,

        QM is based on simultaneity of grainy and continuous. A photon is a particle and wave at the same time. Einstein, though he had a crucial role in developing the quantum concept, never agreed with this uncertainty. The metaphysical beauty of QM lies in this uncertainty, 'God playing dice'. Physical reality may not be that much beautiful.

        Jose P Koshy

        Dear Jose,

        I agree with you that our emerging physical reality is not that much beautiful. God playing dice means for me Total Consciousness leading to the blinking of a time and space restricted consiousness with all its uncertainties, defaults and incomprehensions. We are just smelling at TS through our thinking of QM.

        best regards

        Wilhelmus

        Thank you very much dear Sridattadev.

        I am going to inhale your essay right now

        Wilhelmus

        Dear Mr. Wilhelmus de Wilde,

        Please excuse me for I have no intention of disparaging in any way any part of your essay.

        I merely wish to point out that "Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler. Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955) Physicist & Nobel Laureate."

        Only nature could produce a reality so simple, a single cell amoeba could deal with it.

        The real Universe must consist only of one unified visible infinite physical surface occurring in one infinite dimension, that am always illuminated by infinite non-surface light.

        A more detailed explanation of natural reality can be found in my essay, SCORE ONE FOR SIMPLICITY. I do hope that you will read my essay and perhaps comment on its merit.

        Joe Fisher, Realist

        I did not rate your essay. I do not expect you to rate my essay. I am not bargaining with you. I am educating you.

        Joe Fisher, Realist

        Okay then it was acoincidence that just after your post another 1 came on.

        But...Your realism is not mine as you will know when you read my essay...

        I respect every perception of others but also expect that from them, each "education" as you are putting it is not only a way of sharing knowledge, but it is also away of trying to change the conclusions of the apprentrice. I am aware that you never will be able to know the totality, so yes I am learning every day with an open mind. I hope that your interpretation of what you call "realism" is also open for transformations in order to en large your knowledge. So perhaps in a few years you may think that the title "realist" is not covering the contents of your philosphy.

        regards

        Wilhelmus

        Your paper definitely gives food for thought. In particular, trying to explain entanglement in a different way is nice because it is something that has always bewildered me how entanglement can truly be possible.

        I agree that there are so many different paths and choices that we all take, and collectively, this could result in an infinite number of possibilities. But I sure hope that this doesn't mean that there are parallel universes where our decisions spawn a parallel path. It's hard to prove or disprove a parallel universe, but I personally believe that they don't exist. I believe that nature is simple and I sure hope that we can prove this one day.

          Dear Jeff,

          I also think that paralel universes don't EXIST is our own reality, and as we cannot (yet) jump from one reality to another by trespassing the Planck Wall, the paralel and other realities are only probabilities outside our own. It is like I mentioned in the essay : the dimension behind the Planck Wall doesn't exist in our emergent phenomenon. Other emergent phenomenae are only thoughts.

          best regards

          Dear Wilhelmus

          I am struggling with some of your concepts such as ENM, but agree very much with the e Subjective Simultaneity Sphere. This was in effect pointed out by Helmholz a long while ago.

          For me "now" is not eternal but is continually changing.

          Regards
