Dear Wilhelmus,

Your essay was a beautiful reading, as you approach with bravery some themes of actuality in fundamental physics. You make interesting connections and propose intriguing ideas. When you commented on my page, I wondered about the connection you made between our essays, I think it is this inseparability, holism. Another theme you approach, which I touched in my previous essays, is that of the apparent ambivalence of causality, as shown in Wheeler's delayed choice experiment. I also liked your emphasis on the Plank area.

Best wishes,

Cristi

    Dear Wilhelmus de Wilde,

    While I am familiar with back propagation in neural networks, I wonder if Wheeler's construct of back causation is something new and trustworthy. The word for sunday in Russian language is resurrection. I rather trust in a causality that doesn't loop within a logical circle.

    Could you please tell me by whom and when the expression Planck area was first used? Why didn't you refer to https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Planck_area ? Should I take the time and read your earlier essays?

    Admittedly, I cannot even conceive an Euclidean point of reality, not to mention expressions like eternal probability.

    Perhaps I could better understand your scientific background if you revealed in which department of Delft University you were employed.

    Regards,

    Eckard Blumschein

      Dear Eckhard,

      Wheelers Gedanken experiment is not at all a "new" idea, he proposed it already in 1978. Only in 2007 and 2015 I gave you the link to the paper in my earlier post to you) it was proven. So it seams that our "reality" is far more "strange" as we like to admit. On page 5 of my essay you will find the explanation I gave using the model of FQRL. The causality you favour is still in action , it is just one of the four loops of reality mereging from Total Simultaneity (Planck Area ?).

      The "official" meaning of a Planck Area is the square of the Planck Length, its symbol in physics is Ap. I have to agree with you that the word AREA is not a good one as I mention it also in my essay on page 4 (3.1).

      In my earlier essay The Purpose of Life on illustratio 2 (page 6) and 3(page 7) I gave an idea of the boarder between "REALITY" and the "dimension" it emerged from. The AREA is NOT an Area, and I am thinking about a new term, so thank you for pointing it out to me...

      The Euclidean Point of Reality is an emergent phenomenon (illusion). An Eternal Probability is again beyond this illusionary reality. Probabilities are also available in our Reality, and it depends on which Loop we are choosing (free will) on which probability we will make a memory. All probabilities in our specific reality represent ALL Reality Loops that can emerge from Total Simultaneity. 5 I think I will fall back on this first description of the "area wherfrom realities are emerging.

      I studied Architecture in DElft (title in 1988), which is far from Physics but encourages creative thinking.....When I was 8 years I wanted to go study physics and Einstein was my favorite scientist, till my 12th I added the then available quantum physics as a hobby...and then...my hormons started to win the war and I decided to take a CREATVE art direction : Architecture in DElft. But in the meantime Physics were still my hobby, later on accompanied with ¨Filosophy". I am living since 20 years on a farm far from society in France happily with my wife Corrie.

      So now you know me (a little).

      Best regards

      Wilhelmus

      Dear Chistie

      Thank you very much for reading my essay.

      Indeed holism can be found back in the treatment of the reality loops, what is graphically indicated as a one dimensional line is in fact a four dimensional emerging reality. The only problem with the term "holism" is that it is tending towards the mystical part of reality, and it just that part that You and I want to explain. Also in holography only ONE dimension is added to the two dimensional surface, in my holistic perception we jump from two to four dimensions, and indeed I am still studying thet phenomenon of interference and diffraction.

      best regards

      Wilhelmus

      Dear Wilhelmus,

      An interesting philosophical exploration into the workings of the Universe and our consciousness.

      One question I am left pondering though: you describe traveling on different loops - changing from one to another etc - how is this changing of loops achieved? What causes the change to occur and how is the loop chosen from the many possible loops?

      Regards,

      Declan

        Hi Declan,

        Thank for reading my essay.

        Your question about "travelling" between Loops :

        It could be compared to the MWI interpretation however, realities don't split up in my model. If for instance you have to make a choice between 4 possibilities and you choose n°3 then : Of the 4 loops representing the 4 different realities only the third one continues. The other 3 are staying as probabilities and not as whole realities like in MWI. Another example : If you could go back in time "replace" yourself to a Loop that is in concordance with your memory and existence of your grandfather and decide to kill him in that specific Loop, the reality you experience in your own Loop is continuing incl. the so called time-travel.. The other Loops became probabilities like the one where you did decide not to go on a time travel and the Loops containing all the other probable decisions you had to make. So the moment you are killing your grandfather is not influencing your "existence". It SEEMS as you hopped over but in fact it is only the choice between so the word "travelling" is not the right expression.

        This is also how I explain Free Will.

        Regards

        Wilhelmus

        Dear Wilhelmus,

        It is wonderful that we share common views on consciousness and thinking.

        Your point about an illness such as Alzheimer's affecting consciousness / I is intriguing. I had not thought about it. Does an Alzheimer patient have a different kind of consciousness compared to a healthy person?

        I do have reservations about the Hameroff-Penrose ideas relating to consciousness, because I feel the `gravity induced wave function collapse' hypothesis being applied there first needs to be properly understood / experimentally verified in the context of laboratory physics systems.

        I liked it that you discussed the delayed-choice experiment. In my view, it supports the studies that we do not understand everything about how quantum phenomena relate to the classical flow of time. Something is missing in our understanding of time in quantum mechanics.

        Regarding the recent work of Unruh et al. on quantuum and universal acceleration, kindly also see the views of https://arxiv.org/abs/1801.00138

        Kindly help me understand in what way you are relating Planck area to the search for the `fundamental'? And also the relation between consciousness and Planck area.

        I have enjoyed the variety of ideas presented in your essay, and am glad to notice overlaps with mine.

        My best wishes,

        Tejinder

          Dear Wilhelmus,

          I admit that I have not yet given your essay a thorough reading...but while browsing I can see some very interesting notions that you bring in. It is very well written. For example, I agree with your conclusion "The TIME, SPACE and MATTER that we are aware of are only ILLUSIONS". They are akin to the idea of holograms of space and time, and thus vary with any change in the reference frame. So, everything that manifests is simply an illusion - might be a temporary reality for one but illusion for all others. I wonder if the same applies to the so called "consciousness". We may be wrongly describing "consciousness" by the notion of "absoluteness". "Absoluteness" may be a weaker notion and may not be apt to comprehend "consciousness". What do you think?

          Kind regards,

          Anil

          Dear Anil.

          I agree with you that "absoluteness" is a way for Total Consciousness to "express" itself, and to realise the Completeness tthat I indicate as "Total Simultaneity". Both expressions (Absoluteness and TS) are means to describe the totality of realities that can be experienced by ALL agents of ALL Realities. However these realities are NOTHING when there is no consciousness.

          I thank you for taking your time to read an comment my essay.

          rbest regards

          Wilhelmus

            Wilhe;mus, your effort has the rare originality of fresh approach. It involves depth in understanding and comprehension of entity called CONSCIOUSNES. I find lot of confusion in the best of top ranking essays that it is being confind to human awareness only. It is in my and your opinion an rntity that exists for ever. In fact the Universe of ours is also ITS brain child if i digress to claim. Our understading of issues differ in words because of our respective cultural background. One need to rise above the self and take a look at one's TRUESELF! How many of us can try such introspection, remains the big Question!

            I personlly rate your Essay as 9 out of 10 but shall put my ratings towrads the end of the competition, if you are not in a hurry about it.

            Wilhelmus,your taking a Planck area as a unit to emerge out the 4 dimensional space time reality intrinsicaaly assumes the correctness of founding aspect of QM THEORY THRUGH the uncertainity equivalene. QUANTUM LOOPS ARE BOUND to emerge. Can you digress for me where you introduce CONSCIUOSNESS as an entity to descibe reality or lack of it! I am naive to request you to explain in less abstract manner. that will help provide insight to our understanding of consciousness. I too believe consciousness is tied to the origin of the Universe itself, as it is a pre-existence ever present entitity. Universes can emerge out of it through its cosmic nature!

            Hi Wilhelmus de Wilde

            You are wonderfully connecting the singularity of Plank area with consciousness of agent, your words "The incomplete consciousness of an agent in his specific emerging reality is a contribution to the Completeness of Total Consciousness. Emergent phenomena are ILLUSIONS originating from a space and timeless Point : a NOTHING" are really indicative of your superb thinking dear Wilhelmus de Wilde. As you are an independent researcher, you can more freely express your ideas. Probably I am also doing the same.... I highly appreciate your essay and hope for reciprocity.

            I request you to please have a look at my essay also, and give some of your esteemed criticism for your information........

            Dynamic Universe Model says that the energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation passing grazingly near any gravitating mass changes its in frequency and finally will convert into neutrinos (mass). We all know that there is no experiment or quest in this direction. Energy conversion happens from mass to energy with the famous E=mC2, the other side of this conversion was not thought off. This is a new fundamental prediction by Dynamic Universe Model, a foundational quest in the area of Astrophysics and Cosmology.

            In accordance with Dynamic Universe Model frequency shift happens on both the sides of spectrum when any electromagnetic radiation passes grazingly near gravitating mass. With this new verification, we will open a new frontier that will unlock a way for formation of the basis for continual Nucleosynthesis (continuous formation of elements) in our Universe. Amount of frequency shift will depend on relative velocity difference. All the papers of author can be downloaded from "http://vaksdynamicuniversemodel.blogspot.in/ "

              Dear Satyavarapu Naga Parameswara Gupta

              Thank you for your nice remarks on my contribution.

              About your DUM :

              I agree with all the points beginning with NO etc. Why ? Because I think that ALL of them were emergent phenomena in a past that applies to the emergent reality of an alo emergent agent, THEY ARE JUST ONE ILLUSION OF AN INFINITY NUMBER OF REALITY LOOPS. It is the result of time-interperetation of our limited consciousness. That is also the reason that our universe is looking ultimate fine-tuned. It is not useful to create a reality that is not perceived by an agent (in our case the agent is a human being).

              Your perception of reality is as you say a "singularity free tensor based math model".

              I can fully agree with that because any singularity will be behind the Planck area, so as an "entity" not part of emerging reality. The "math" part is the part of "thinking" the language of consciousness. I cannot follow you in the math part because mathematics are not my strongest point, but I assume that you will be right.

              Furthermore my perception is that in your own emergent unique reality this is YOUR finetuned explanation which is TRUE for you. It is YOUR "quantum reality loop". In middle ages there was no quantum mechanics and people had their TRUTH. In a million years when there are conscious agents that have the availability of other different senses and techniques in their OWN LOOP (where our history is placed in) will smile about us and our efforts. But we are both sharing on our Subjective Simultaneity Sphere a lot of the same incoming data. I cannot but agree with the trgee cases you indicated.

              For ALL the questions that you are answering by DUM, you know already my answers, we are both right....

              I thank you for a well founded theory, that is is a valuable contribution to our thinking.

              Dear Narendra,

              As an answer on your post on my thread of jan 29 :

              It is NOT as you write that Planck area's emerge from 4 dimensional Space Time, in my proposal it is just the way around. In this essay I named TOTAL SIMULTANEITY the Planck Area, from where ALL realities emerge.

              Total Simultaneity is space and time-less, it is an eternal point of creation.

              The primal cause of this creation is the INITIATIVE FOR COMPLETENESS OF TOTAL CONSCIOUSNESS, also residing in Total Simultaneity.

              You could also say : GOD is the Creator of ALL REALITY, the COMPLETENESS of GOD is the FIRS CAUSE of the creation (in his most broad way). TOTAL CONSCIOUSNESS residing in Total Simultaneity IS ansoluteness...(so..... I gave a scientific explanation of GOD)

              Dear Fellow Essayists

              This will be my final plea for fair treatment.,

              FQXI is clearly seeking to find out if there is a fundamental REALITY.

              Reliable evidence exists that proves that the surface of the earth was formed millions of years before man and his utterly complex finite informational systems ever appeared on that surface. It logically follows that Nature must have permanently devised the only single physical construct of earth allowable.

              All objects, be they solid, liquid, or vaporous have always had a visible surface. This is because the real Universe must consist only of one single unified VISIBLE infinite surface occurring eternally in one single infinite dimension that am always illuminated mostly by finite non-surface light.

              Only the truth can set you free.

                Incompleteness of observations is a good term, pointing not to incomplete superposition, but an incomplete 'collapse'? It again Points to some selection, due to the frame the event interacts with, like some 'meaning'...

                I like 'incompleteness of observations', because it put the focus in 'reality' as we call it.

                A conscious agent is an agent that is aware of his "I AM", not just a bundle of

                information available for algorithms. - again a truth. But this we cannot proove, too bad.

                ... in the so called space-time, filled with subjective simultaneity spheres there is NO absolute simultaneity. - We usually call this moment for NOW, but that NOW has problems, because it is eg an emptyness, something that is 'nothing' but also like a self-energy that oscillate back and fro? A bit like a black hole, maybe?

                I tried to make you see how we can 'fix' time by putting it on a space scale, I Think it is much what you describe too. Time is seen as a parameter, no particle directly describes time, except that order formed in a space-scale, but with its own 'dimension' still. It is a bit odd, isn't it?

                You also end up with the quality as in HOW and WHY, the 'unwanted' questions... It deserve a deeper study why it is so.

                To THINK and to Dream have many similarities, both make the body inactive... and our actions are the 'real I'.

                This implicates that the nature of particle/wave is most likely undefined until a conscious measurement is made. - like an error correction, also including memory?

                Fig. 1: Sky and Water I. - describes a compressional force, like in the 'compactification' that preceedes the 'lifting' I talk of :)

                Your Planck Area in fig 2 a. is like a BEC, very compressed, but even there are 'structures' of compressed Waves (solitons) seen... What is the limits of the Planck Area? You know, not even the magnetic monopole is just as one minute Point, it is rather like a superposition where the dipoles cannot be differed from each others, an end of a loop and a new beginning.

                Many good Points here, Congrats.

                  Wilhelm, our essays are walking in parallel but these are not in the big race in this competition. We are for participation and not for prize. If money comes it will go fast too. For walkers it is best to keep our health together with our mind and body and use our respective spirit of CONSCIOUSNESS together all the way together, an ultimate in life!

                  Dear Wilhelmus

                  I am glad that you have included backward causation in your picture, and that you see space and time as emergent. I agree. How do you see the role of symmetry at a fundamental level? Is it emergent? Symmetry of space and time means that the laws of physics are unchanging over space and time. If that were not the case it would be hard to do science. Does this mean that symmetry must be fundamental?
