Dear George,

Thank you for your answer on my essay and the reference to von Helmholz.

NOW is never eternal in our emerging reality, we experience a FLOW of time.

This 'flow" is the result of the capacity of our memory. The continuation of this flow is created by the addition of a new NOW moment. This new NOW moment is originating from Total Simultaneity where it is a timeless entity (so eternal) and I called it the ENM. The ENM is NOT existing in our emergent phenomenon called REALITY.

Our experience (like you are saying is continually changing) of NOW is entangled with its "ENM" in TS but NOT existing in our experience of reality. The timeless ENM becomes an addition to a timeless experience in our memory.

I hope to have explained my interpretation.

best regards

Wilhelmus

Wilhelmus,

First, a minor criticism. You use a lot of acronyms that are of your creation. Until something is widely accepted as an acronym, it is better not to do this. It makes it difficult for the reader.

The real meat of your essay starts when you discuss the two slit experiment. That is a nice touch and fits well with the flow of things. I was not aware of the delayed choice experiment by Wheeler ... many thanks. The interpretation of the Wheeler experiment and the discussion of Bob and Alice then follows cleanly. The diagrams you provide here are helpful.

It seems to me that what you describe as TS Consciousness is similar to the complex plane in my essay.

All in all this is a respectable effort.

Best Regards and Good Luck,

Gary Simpson

    Thank you Gary for your instructive comments on my essay.

    Next time I will try to avoid acronyms (perhaps I like to mimic formula's...)...

    Indeed there is more to explain but I could not realise it in nine pages. I have solutions for time-travel, black hole information loss and more that you can find in my article published in The Journal of Consciousness Exploration and Research Total Consciousness in Total Simultaneity

    Your "Complex Plane" is indeed almost the same idea as Total Simultaneity, maybe I need your advise to mathematically explain my idea of Total Simulaneity which is both a not in our reality existing singularity without time and space as well as it contains ALL Eternal NOW Moments and contents also a "field" named Total Consciousness.

    best regards

    Wilhelmus

    Dear Wilhelmus, I see that you have essentially different world's picture.

    ``Totality of human thinking"? Probably some analogue of the direct sum. I see that even in the physical community such ``totality" is very and very problematic. But at least one point is common: Hilbert space looks now more fundamental than space-time.

    PS I cannot understand the general principle of the calculation of scores. How this value may be reduced in time? Who play with this?

    Best regards,

    Peter

      Wilhelmus,

      I might be able to provide assistance but there is no guarantee. Take a look at two papers I have posted to viXra.org. They are "Quaternion Dynamics Part 1 and Part 2". They can be found here:

      Dear Peter,

      Different colours make a beautifull rainbow....

      I mentioned the ratings because I began wit a 6 and a 9 nd then from nothing three 1's appeared , so I had to struggle from downwards on...

      It seems to happen more, as I was warned by another author.

      I just don't know who is playing this game of ones...

      best regards

      Dear Wilhelmus de Wilde,

      I read your essay several times before I received your letter. Very interesting work, it makes us think a lot. At the time, I explored some of the problems that you have set.

      How do you say "Mankind is full of ideas" and "universe cannot yet be realised with our scientific method of thinking". The Subjective Simultaneity Sphere (SSS). The origin of all "thoughts" is the reception of information. As I understand you, we are talking about the "noosphere - is the sphere of human thought". I have researched this problem Singular technology - the research area promoting the country's sustainable noosphere development Such factors as the formation of a new (noospheric) political and economic outlook and the changes in scientific and technological structure of economy are gaining paramount importance under the action of the law of time and the adequate need to change the logic of socio-economic behavior of the population of planet Earth.

      I researched "The unity between micro and macro". [/link] and Femtotechnologies

      Femtotechnologies Presentation . In work the femtoregion of the simplyest element, atom of hydrogen, is considered. It is shown that the electron in atom of hydrogen has the difficult spatial structure taking which into account allows to specify fundamental constants, such as a constant of thin structure, the speed of light, Bohr radius of an electron. It is shown that on the basis of these constants it is possible to construct the fundamental scales scaling both internal and external fields of atoms. It allows to formulate macroquantum laws that govern the Universe. It means that without research atoms femtoregion it is impossible to eliminate an abyss which arose between gravitation and electromagnetism. It is shown that our model removes a number of theoretical contradictions and is perfectly confirmed by the last astrophysical experiments.

      I also researched the opportunity of transfer functions of the human cerebral cortex in silicon neurochip Digital mind - one of the ways to immortality

      Nanoclusters_as_superatoms_and_supermolecules

      I hope that I was able to some extent «Come closer to the TOTAL YOU»

      Best regards

      Wilhelmus,

      I see your prediction was correct and the integers appeared. Not universal or 'observer dependent' it seems!. But yours is now applied.

      'Spin' in QM is only precluded from being rotation due to incorrect initial assumptions, as Bell suspected, which was 'making NO assumption' about particle morphology!. If they'd just hypothesised the most basic of particle morphologies, a spinning sphere, and Maxwell's 'curl' and linear momentum, none of the nonsense would ever have started!

      But yes; I suggested 10 years to advance understanding, but perhaps another 100 may be needed.

      Best

      Peter

      Hi Wilhelmus,

      Good to be in another contest with you. I like your TS concept. Would I be correct to say that is close in meaning to the concept of now?

      And thanks for your insights on my essay!

      Don Limuti

        Wilhelmus, this is a very well thought through essay. You give a clear picture of how information is stored in memory and is processes from signals from the spheres. This leads to goals. It is consistent with my view and you add a lot of detail and further insights.

        Our sensation of time is central to these ideas. The delayed choice experiment shows that causality is a complex matter. What are your thoughts on how our world is asymmetric with respect to the direction of time, so that past and future are so different?

          Dear Don,

          Thank you for taking the time to read/comment and rate my essay.

          In my perception the concept of NOW has two sides, one side is the eternal NOW moment in TS and the other is the NOW experience in our time restricted emergent phenomenon that we call reality. Time is also an emergent phenomenon that only exists in our "minds". The illusion of living...

          When we are creating Lexi's as AI this is also an emerging phenomenon, so when we are "thinking" that AI's (the children of our intelligence) are going to take over , this reality is an available probability in TS, it can become a reality in someones mind in a specific life-line (constituted of Eternal NOW Moments) in TS.

          best regards

          Wilhelmus

          Thanks a lot dear Philip.

          The cause of the asymetric appearance of our reality lies in the difference between an emergent phenomenon and its "origin" Total Simultaneity.

          TS is time and space-less (eternal and infinite an both singularity), the emergent phenomenon that we experience as reality is time an space restricted.

          But as it originates (is entangled with) from a time and space-less entity it is only the NOW including MEMORY that we are aware of and not the eternity of this NOW in TS.

          Every ENM is unique for ach agent, so different from each NOW, Past and Future.

          best regards

          essay:The Purpose of Life

          Dear Wilhelmus de Wilde,

          It's been obvious for years that you are extremely focused on consciousness, so I'm not surprised that you partook of 'expanded' consciousness, 'back in the day'.

          I very much liked your "searching for the announcer in the radio".

          When I first read your essay I started to give you 10, but everyone that I pushed to the top so they would receive more visibility immediately got shot down by whatever troll lurks beneath the FQXi bridge biting passersby with 1's.

          Also, I wanted more time to digest the meaning of your essay. While I think your scheme is magnificent, I was unsure how literally you meant it. For me experience of physical reality is key, but current projections of structure on physical reality are confused at best. Essays on consciousness seek to gain 'respectability' (the coin of the realm) by tying their systems to physics (the holy word of the realm). If the physics is mistaken (as much today is) it can take a perfectly good understanding of metaphysics in the wrong direction.

          For specific analysis of physics aspects in contention, see my reply to your comments on my essay page.

          I do believe in a physically real universe, but GR and QM have confused the issue via erroneous projections that are (at the moment) given credence. The universe will not simply vanish when these errors are corrected, but certain mystical and unphysical conceptions will vanish.

          In short, I think you've developed a powerful way of describing the experience of local conscious beings in a unified reality existing Now. I think you should not try to tie it too closely to mystical elements of current physics which will not survive the century. Hopefully, not the next decade. As metaphor I buy your beautiful system, as physics not so much. Clearly, over the sequence of FQXi essays, you are getting closer to the truth. I am quite sure that you will continue to do so. I hope my comments are useful to you.

          My very best regards; keep up the excellent work.

          Edwin Eugene Klingman

            Dear Wilhelmus,

            This was a very interesting reading, which turns upside-down some of the usual ideas. Causality as we thought we know it is challenged whenever we try to make sense of quantum mechanics by using elements of reality, and you used this well in trying to elucidate if there is a purpose of the universe.

            Best regards,

            Cristi

              Thank you Christie,

              It is not easy to open a new box in the perception of physics...

              best regards

              Wilhelmus

              Thank you Edwin for the open mind you are showing.

              As different as we both are we are searching for the same solutions, without different colours there is no beautifull rainbow.

              You say "I tend to view our universe as existing in one ENM, and all local consciousness partakes of this Now." This is exactly what I mean to argue, My Derived Local (in space and time) Consciousness in a flowing time-restricted reality is a expression of Total Consciousness in Total Simultaneity. The NOW that that consciousness (field ?) is experiencing includes the whole historical flow towards this NOW Moment.

              "The observer isn't the cause" of a wave collapse" In my perception the fact that the observer (agent) is "measuring" an event that is from the past (he cannot measure the NOW because that is immediatly past...), one part (position or velocity) is fixed, the observer is NOT the cause of this so called collapse, it isn't even a collapse it is a search for position/velocity in the flow that exists only in the observers consciousness. So it seems as if the observer is the cause but he is not, the result is just as lost as is the future.

              So you see that we agree more as you thought...

              best regards

              Wilhelmus de Wilde

              Wilhelmus,

              This is language that helps us to touch the unfathomable, the inscrutable -- which are elements of our topic. For example, The choice is representing different available time-lines in TS. Total Simultaneity is acting like a wormhole connecting choices and time-lines. Or Total Simultaneity where all elemental interaction are done, happening or existing at the same time. Whatever is eternal must be out of time.

              The meaning of life and the universe needs ways to bridge time and infinity. Your piece helps to bring a little more clarity to these ruminations.

              Jim Hoover

                Dear Wilhelmus,

                Thanks for clarifying your 'collapse' argument. You are correct, we agree more now than I thought. Yes we do attack the same problem. It is so vast that there is room for two approaches. We focus on Now.

                Also, I said believe you misunderstood a comment on scoring in my response on my essay page. You might wish to reread it.

                Best regards,

                Edwin Eugene Klingman

                Dear Wilhelmus,

                I have to admit that I do not understand your text well. Do you mean that TC is the ultimate source of everything? If not, what could be this source? Is there any meaning of everything or it is rather a meaningless dream of the TC? How important are our ethical, aesthetic, scientific and philosophical efforts and why? What gives you any confidence in the worldview you share with your readers? Sorry for that many questions; you may consider them as nothing but reflection of my confusion with your essay.

                Best,

                Alexey Burov.

                  Dear Alexey;

                  Sorry that you did not quite understand my perception of the emergent phenomenon that is called reality. So I hope that I can explain it more clearly and answer your questions.

                  Indeed I accept that TC is the "source" of everything, everywhere from any time restricted reality. TC is time nad spaceless.

                  I argue that time and space are both restrictions from Total Consciousness in TS to create "realities".(without consciousness TS would only be just a singularity that didn't exist.

                  ALL created Realities together (also those we don't understand) are represented as "availabilities in TS.

                  These "availabilities" (available life/time lines) are forming you could say the "ALL". This ALL cannot be a complete set when any of the life-line availabilities are missing. So the specific life-line reality that you are experiencing NOW is essential for the completeness of ALL.

                  TS is not a meaningless dream because it harbours the Completeness of Total Consciousness. In one of my articles in The Scientific God Journal The Consciousness Connection I compared TS to the Christian Holy Trinty : "The Father : TS (the ALL), Jesus Christ : the emergent human being with its causal part of consciousness and the Holy Ghost : Total Consciousness creating order out of chaos.

                  All our efforts in our specific life-lines (originating from the ALL) are part of this ALL. A life-line is in TS only an excitation. Through the addition of time and space we seem to experience a "FLOW".(between a beginning and an end)

                  In my essay I mentioned already that at each NOW moment the time-restricted consciousness is offered a choice out of an infinity of crossroads. This free-will choices seem to be made in the past (we are living in the past) here in our life-line, but don't forget that the moment of choice of your part of Total Consciousness in TS, timeless, eternal.

                  The "confidence I am getting with this world-view is :

                  1. Every creature is an essential constructive part of the "ALL".

                  2. Even when your life seems useless it still counts as being an important part of a totality we cannot understand, without you the Totality is NOT a Totality.

                  3. Birth and Death are two points on a by Total Consciousness created restricted beginning, end) life-line. There is at any moment the availability of an infinity of ME's. The Total ME is eternal. Death is only one of an infinity of ends of an infinity of availabilities.

                  4. The "poal in my perception of time-restricted consciousness is coming closer to the Total ME, part of Total Consciousness and part of Total Simultaneity.

                  (come closer to God ?)

                  I quite understand the confusion because what I am proposing is a scientific approach of the essence of our emergent reality, the only thing I hope is that it will not be explained as a BELIEF.. 5Religions are always misused for Power).

                  Don't hesitate to ask me more if you need to.

                  best regards
