I
believe everything in the universe is purely abstract information, and the
highest order emergent systems are consciousnesses. By applying a fundamental of evolution and
self-guided evolution to consciousness itself, once it emerges on a planet, I
see it expanding indefinitely. I see
the possibility for many subtle consciousnesses different than how ours (humans) works,
and even a type of planetary intelligence, like Gia. Somewhere in the system over all of
spacetime, there would exist a consciousness which is the highest level
emergent system of all. Chances are,
this relates to nodes or the amount of base information available to compute
itself into existence. For example, the possible pathways available for
computing a consciousness in, say, a triangle are less than the intelligence
that can emerge when confined to the nodal pathways of E8. But the largest possible "nodal"
set in the universe would be the universe itself across all of spacetime. And here, I'm not talking about the nodal set
of just a symmetric abstract geometric object, like the Monster. I'm also talking about the set of higher
order graph theoretic observed sets emerging from the nodal pathways taken by
every other "observer based" information system. That would be an enormous base information
set from which a collective intelligence could emerge.
So
in my view, this highest consciousness is the best candidate for the
"substrate" in which the simplest informational objects and
algorithms exist. The simplest abstract
objects would be equilateral triangles or even just points. And these would exist within this collective
consciousness in much the same way that you can think of a triangle now and it
exists in some abstract thought space.
So it's like the snake eating its tail. The simplest objects, such as
the hyper diamond lattice, E8 or an equilateral triangle or tetrahedron are the
"tail". The collective
consciousness is the head. The tail
exists within the head but the head itself is an emergent information system
that results from the higher order combinatorial information systems that
emerge from the tail (the triangles and point like viewing vectors) up to
progressively higher order emergent systems. All systems are embedded within
one another and influence one another.
Now
let's talk about what "is" and "is not" in terms of
"reality". Let's say that
before us there exists a 2 x 2 square grid. And you and I, two conscious
beings, agree to each observe or imagine a unique pathway that uses each square
once. There are 16 choices in this
possibility space. We each observe one
possibility from the 16. So two
realities exist. In my example, I'm
relating reality to one of the axioms that I have at the core of our model,
"All that exists is that which is seen". The simplest seer is the unit of quantized
collective consciousness, the viewing vector, which makes co-orchestrated
vector choices with the rest of the viewing vectors to form harmonious higher
order pattern through the possibility space.
Now,
every human is a higher order seer living on top of an ocean of lower order
seers starting with the viewing vectors.
And every human is observing his/her own unique reality or world. But we're connected and act like a neural
network across many humans, like the invisible world wide web global
connectivity. So we're operating both
individually in some sense and as a whole in another. Therefore some of us have very similar
realities. For
example, if we were both in the same room, the two of us could navigate through nearly
identical reality pathways (assuming a different reality in each Planck moment)
by agreement. But could it be
more "scifi" than that? Could the world divide into generally two
interesting path groups, where many minds navigate through nearly identical
realties by subconscious agreement?
Nothing stays the same. Socially,
things either get a little better or a little worse. Let's imagine that the world is divided into
generally two opinions, those who want to subconsciously navigate through
possibility spaces that have turmoil and those Age of Aquarius type folks, who
want to navigate into a more utopian set of possibilities. Again, no two individuals will ever navigate
the exact same path through reality space. But these days, we have this
tremendous potential for change maybe due to technology or maybe due to an
underlying thing like astrology theories.
Or maybe to ideas like Carl Jung, where members of the human species are
polarizing into two collective mind camps. They're choosing sides as they
coordinate their world views via media and email, etc. They're forming their expectations and
imaginations to choose which group path to take. The Hopi psychic seers
envisioned a fork in the road (around now?) of these two pathways.
My 11 year old son
had a psychic experience once where he saw a vision of the Earth splitting into two
Earths, like the mitosis of a cell. This is a wild idea. But, if this
all is like a sort of group dream, where we don't know we're dreaming as we
create this reality and where each individual's dream is similar to the group
average dream, then maybe we will create two general styles of group dream, a
fun one and a less fun one. As I said, I
think what's happening now is a polarization event, where people are starting
to coalesce into groups of the Aquarius reality type and the Apocalypse reality
type. And following the Axiom, "All
that exist is that which is seen", these two general reality types will
literally exist because they are observed path types in possibility space. If so, this will be very analogous to my son
seeing one Earth become two. The Age of
Aquarius type reality sets will have a very different interrelation or feedback
loop with the minds that created it versus the relationship between the
Apocalypse reality sets and the seers that create it. The former could be said
to be more multidimensional and exist with more harmony and synergy. More net information will exist, due to the
principals of harmony and synergy (simple mathematics). So like the New Age folks say, it will exist
at a higher vibratory level, I suppose.
This
is like the Enoch story. We will
literally go to a different group reality.
In fact, we're all constantly going to different group realities and
individual realities. But the polarization of the iron filings will start to
look more extreme until perhaps we could even physically not be represented in
the Apocalyptic reality. It would be
like we left "that" world.
