I only just now found him after digging for days around the 'linguistic stench' of Copenhagen QM hand-wave, and the buy-in around group truth dynamics.

I'm most certainly in the shallow end of the pool re: holofractal and QM, but even ignorant outsiders can spot 'gappy' declarations from math priests, and Tim Maudlin brings conceptual rigor and ignored scientific historical record.

Tim Maudlin - What Bell Did

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vg5z_zeZP60

I originally wrote a much shorter technical response to a thread that's now removed. The previous thread brought up this concept of a "refresh rate" in the universe that likened conscious observation to a screen which must refresh N times a second. There was some metaphysical woo-woo about consciousness being a prism through which light separates into distinct colors of the rainbow, etc. I've expounded upon my original reply to formulate a complete theory here...

Thinking in terms of the universe possibly having a "refresh rate" in which conscious beings can experience anything at all:

What we're fundamentally talking about is a level of fidelity in which spacetime, mass, forces, and even qualia of consciousness is even possible to be experienced. In other words, what is the smallest, conceptually discrete unit of any kind of experience, including observation? Think "resolution" in terms of scale in relation to a "refresh rate". Let's paint a picture with some background info first...

Background

To think about fidelity what we're asking is: at what scale is any possible experience fundamentally partitioned? Because this isn't necessarily a question of pure physics, we are starting from a metaphysical perspective. In order to bring it into the realm of physics, it might be useful to first think about the Planck scale for spacetime and something like the universal probability bound in mathematics and probability. Leading QM theories, such as String Theory, give us clues as to the kinds of concepts we're discussing. So perhaps quantum fluctuations in the fabric of spacetime are oscillations that cause energy, mass (including light), and the fundamental forces to emerge. In other words, these fluctuations are the fundamental "refresh rate" for the smallest possible unit of experience.

This could be due to virtual particles and the quantum foam. As mentioned, this concept is not new and is even related to other emergence theories. Furthermore, let's think of the spacetime fabric "stretching". In this analogy, the individual "fibers" and "atoms" of the fabric represent some kind of quantum discreteness along the 'wave" of these oscillations. Like a sort of quantum contour map. Each discrete contour at each possible plane is like a "frame" in the film strip of a movie. The "camera" is the observer in relation to the observed oscillations in these contours. The "story" or "narrative" that emerges as the frames "animate" is consciousness itself. Conversely, there may be some kind of Fourier transform where individual "scenes", "actors", etc. represent unique experiences from particles to people. Completing this analogy is the "emptiness" between these frames during "animation". There must exist some analog to the way our brains smooth out the flicker frequency using heuristics and a complementary system for error correction. As a result, we would expect "biases" and "illusions" to emerge within fundamental physics and reality the same way our conscious experiences can be confabulated. As we'll see later, it this negative, "empty" space between frames might actually be its own thing.

These concepts imply the truth of both Panpsychism and competing theories. Everything in the fabric of spactime is part of some level of observation that might cause consciousness to emerge. Each conscious experience is shaped by the whole but wholly independent. This does not require any concept of "direct" observation or measurement - observation is simply one thing experiencing another. Which would mean that "measurements" are always occurring at every possible scale. Yet the fidelity at which this can be objectively possible is fundamentally unknowable. The only "knowledge" from the perspective of this paradox is the entire experience itself (i.e., all of consciousness). Because of this, the universe is both local and non-local, possibly unifying the Pilot Wave theory and the Copenhagen interpretation.

Fundamental Duality

The real question we need to start out with is:

• How can two different things exist at all?

Secondarily, we ask:

• How is it possible for nothing to exist?

In other words, how can one thing be differentiated from anything else and how can a single thing exist by itself? For one thing to exist absolutely requires that something else exist from which it can be differentiated. For something to exist (true) implies to not exist (false). To not exist implies to exist. This is the essence of relativity, fundamental duality, the Yin and the Yang. It is often expressed in terms of "subject / object" and "observer / observed". From classic Hermeticism this was expressed as The All becoming aware of itself. As we'll see, this duality is misleading, perhaps even an illusion itself.

Before we proceed, it's important to point out the limitations of language and semantics here. Language itself is an expression of thought, which is an abstract articulation of ostensibly discrete things. How is it that one thought can be different from another? How is one word can be different from another? All of this is to say that words and concepts themselves are subject to these emergent properties of duality and so we're stuck in a paradox of language just discussing this. What's even more interesting is the adage "a picture is worth a thousand words" and a single word invoking a thousand pictures are illuminating to the nature of paradox and scale we'll be discussing.

Paradox

If we think about it even more abstractly, what fundamentally could possibly cause one thing (a singularity) to become two? How could an observer emerge from the observed or vice versa? Even more confusingly, how is it possible for just one thing to exist at all? Whatever exists implies at least one other thing exists: that which is not itself. Even conceptualizing these in the abstract requires at least two things to exist. Let's transpose the analogies of cold / hot, light / dark, masculine / feminine, and good / evil: it's been said that darkness is simply another measurement of light. Similarly "evil" is just a measurement of "good". One measures "heat" where a low heat is what we call "cold". Abstractly, what we call "masculine" or "feminine" can always collapse into being a description of one or the other.

Simply identifying these concepts as spectrums necessarily implies a fundamental duality. Not only can there be "more" or "less" of something, but that such a thing can even be conceptualized and measured is itself dualistic. It is certainly no mistake that pervasive concepts exist on similar dualistic spectrums from Subjectivity / Objectivity, Monotheism / Polytheism, Conservative / Progressive ideas, Individuality / Collectivism, numerous orbital concepts (forces), and polarity in general.

The answer here is fundamental: Paradox.

Paradox: Singularity, Duality, Recursion, Inversion, Conflict, Symmetry

I think of it as a symmetric coin with Reverse and Obverse sides revolving on itself. They are two in one. The singularity. The infinite. It is no mistake that this aligns with the concept of quantum vortices expressed in numerous theories, including Holofractal, as well as many other spin concepts in QM. We can also see how this lends itself to the emergence of paradoxical elements, such as matter/anti-matter interactions proposed by QM. As you read, we'll also see how dark energy and dark matter start to make more sense.

So, let's conceptualize the laws of physics, including the fundamental forces, emerging from some fundamental paradox. We can think of it in terms of the paradox trying to "resolve" itself. The forces of the singularity "spin" with infinite centrifugal force but also with infinite "gravity" collapsing on itself. We can also think of it as the paradox needing to search through all possibilities before it can "realize" it's paradox. This attempt at "resolving" is the "engine" or the "energy" that oscillates and causes emergence. The question is: what is the fidelity - the "refresh rate" - of this oscillation if we're talking about "infinity" here? After all, what perfectly represents symmetry, inversion, and conflict if not the very symbol for infinity: ∞?

Hypothesis

If we start from a paradoxical framework, it would seem reasonable to expect several things:

• Some universal, singular theory that explains and unifies everything about reality
• A impassable limit of sorts where a fundamental duality exists at the edge of this unifying, singular theory
• Constant conflict at multiple scales that reflect some larger duality or paradox at work
• A recursive nature in which all scales of experience lead to more discoveries, more conflict and therefore more paradoxes
• Elements of inversion where what seems to be is actually the opposite
• Combining these elements of recursion and inversion, we should expect a lot of symmetry to emerge in abstract ways

For example: the conflicts, inversions, and symmetries at scale with Special/General Relativity, Wave-Particle Duality, Dark Matter/Energy, AdS/CFT, Chaos/Order Theory, etc. It seems obvious that not only is this duality (paradox) expressed at every scale, but the relationship itself is, too. This is where the cosmos plays a sleight of hand of sorts: when one emerges into two, what's actually established is a triad of sorts: the relationship between the observer and the observed. The flow between the Yin and the Yang. The communication between two concepts. The interpretation of an observation. The line between two points. The intensity of light in a dark room. The Holy Ghost between the Father and Son. You get the picture. I will use the term "levels" here instead of "dimension" because there is some equivocation in metaphysics as soon as we start using the term "dimension", but feel free to understand it as such.

As a side note, it's interesting that this "geometric" relationship is similar to one posed by Geometric Unity via the Yang-Mills duality and Dirac equations as they relate to General Relativity.

Maths Emerge

From this duality, we can see how this escalates quickly. We haven't just established the mathematical concepts of One, Two, and Three, but of Four and so on.

What does it actually mean for an observer "to observe"? What does it mean for something to "be experienced"? This requires some level of information to be processed through this third "relationship" concept. Probing further, how could this information possibly "flow" instantaneously? Think about what it would mean for anything to be able to occur instantaneously. Anything that observers or measures must process the observation and measurement. This same system would have to process an interpretation of some kind and then process some response. Unless something in this chain of processing does not occur instantaneously, the entire system occurs instantaneously! This would effectively negate the possibility of there being two different things at all. Any concept of "instantaneous", real or imagined, implies some level of infinity that collapses on itself: a paradox. Because it's impossible for anything to be instantaneous, it's also impossible for any two things to occur simultaneously. There is no way, even conceptually, for any observation to be made that any thing is instantaneous or any two things are simultaneous. This is exemplified in the famous EPR Paradox.

Top help understand this, it's first important to understand that in our model so far the concept of spacetime has not emerged...yet. Perhaps we're about to see how it does.

Information and Spacetime Emerge

If information could flow instantaneously it would imply at some level that the thing "sending" the information (observed) and the thing "receiving" it (observer) have some level of infinite potential to create/interpret this information. But we're left at another fundamental paradox: in our model only two fundamental concepts have emerged. What other information is there to create and interpret exactly? Taking our example further, we continue to see the fractal nature of how this recuses on itself: the observed would have to have some discrete way of creating quanta of information distinct from other quanta, Conversely, the observer would need a way to interpret these quanta in discrete ways. There MUST be a fundamental limit somewhere otherwise the concept of information and the underlying relationship itself completely collapses on itself! Whatever this limit is, and however it emerges, isn't yet clear. For now we'll call these emergent properties "space" and "time". Space represents the discreteness of the observer, the observed, and the relationship between them, and time the discreteness of the qualia of the information itself. The paradox further compounds when we see the emergence of time, being a necessary property of observation, which is necessary for any discrete thing to exist, also means that change is fundamental. No two things, even conceptually, can be the same thing. This therefore necessitates some state of "constant flow". Lastly, this implies it is impossible for any two things to even conceptually occur within spacetime simultaneously. As we'll mention later, this aligns perfectly with Special Relativity and the limits of the speed of light. Let's explore further...

Fundamental Limits / Boundaries Must Exist

Once we've established that a limit must exist, we've necessarily created another paradox that must resolve itself. The concept of a limit (or a boundary) is itself impossible to define in exact terms. Despite the practical applications of mathematics, this is a known quandary such as in topology. Really think about this: even conceptually a line can never be perfectly straight. A number cannot be perfectly represented. Everything scales to infinity in some way or another. Math itself doesn't exist yet in this theoretical model and for good reason: there is no conceivable way to measure let alone represent the discrete and perfect concept of anything, let alone a limit of sorts. Whatever boundary exists, must exist as an ill-defined gradient within some kind of probability space. Taking the conceptualization of the rainbow: where one color begins and another ends is arbitrary. We're either zooming in infinitely on spacetime, indefinitely calculating irrational numbers, or describing asymptotic relationships and limits. In order to be practical, we invent approximation and heuristics for a given context. It is for this reason that no two things can be identical: everything has a unique identity.

With this nebulous concept of a boundary / limit in mind, we now start to see how measurement and interpretation of information necessitates further emergent properties. This can be seen as the Fifth level. Interpretations implies some level of intent or purpose. In other words: a cause and effect. This can be seen as the Sixth level, which is oddly synchronous with the Calabi-Yau manifold of String Theory fame. With the concept of cause and effect emerging, we now have the underpinnings of the 2nd Law of Thermodynamnics. Couple with the aforementioned fundamental limit, we can perhaps start to make sense of how conservation of energy emerges, too. From here, we can start to hypothesize how deterministic reality might be and therefore how "free-will" could exist.

Deeper and Deeper

As for completing the emergence of math though the Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth levels...I haven't completely figured these parts out yet. Most attempts are just overly complicated versions of lower dimensions. For example, it's tempting to start enumerating "attributes" of observation, or attributes of the observed at these high dimensions. But an attribute is nothing more than another dualistic notion. I do suspect that the final emergent dimension is what we call "consciousness" but I don't know if this aligns with the Zero or Ninth dimensions. I also don't know if there is a Tenth. If there is I suspect that it's a reflection of the fractal nature of what we've been talking about: the Ninth recusing back to the Zeroth dimension to complete the "cycle" of the paradox where this "cycle" is the Tenth level. This is itself interesting, because it would potentially illustrate another paradoxical "chicken and egg" concept: higher order dimensions are required in order for lower order dimensions to emerge. It would make sense then that all of this emergence happens instantaneously and simultaneously, another paradox.

More on that later, but leading candidates for these higher dimensions are the emergence of Heuristics or some level of Derivatives or Integrals over the lower dimensions. In other words, approximations and changes over time, including how systems as a whole collapses into single concepts that must in turn "split" and emerge as something discrete. This aligns with my previous examples of how powerful words and pictures can be at varying scales - a single word is to a sentence what a picture is to a movie, is a single note to a chord, a chord to a symphony, a clarinet to an orchestra, is music to dance, is creative intent to painting a memory. What's fascinating is that each of these concepts have some kind of negative space that is equally critical. Earlier, this kind of duality was likened unto some grand heuristic at the quantum level. This metaphysical sort of white hole exists intrinsically by the mere fact that something else exists. What are words without the spaces to differentiate them?

It's clear in the above examples that each constituent element is uniquely powerful in their own right. This could perhaps be related to what we know as Supersymmetry, Quantum entanglement, and the Many worlds interpretation. There must be some level at which we can express the emergence of Chaos and Order and the paradoxes we see in fractal nature of Chaos Theory and Complexity Theory. Bridging these gaps I suspect there are clues to be found in studying things related to Gödel's incompleteness theorems, Russell's Paradox, and other paradoxes.

Determinism and Free-will

So we've established some essence as to how paradox infinitely tries to resolve itself where the singularity becomes two (perhaps via a physical and metaphysical "big bang" of sorts) and essentially collapses back into the singularity (a black hole). However, if you recall we started out by talking about what this "refresh rate" of paradox resolution might be. Well, it's not clear that it's possible to know however we can infer based on our paradoxical framework: it is ALL OF THEM. Yes, every conceivable "refresh rate". Due to the paradoxical nature of these infinite concepts, it stands to reason that not only is everything possible, but they're inevitable. From the "many worlds" interpretation this means that the emergence of everything we've discussed ALL happen instantaneously and this instantaneous occurrence is the fundamental qualia of all consciousness - it's what we humans experience as spacetime - as change. All of this is to say, that all possibilities occur instantaneously and simultaneously. This coincides with the special relativistic notion of time "slowing down" at higher velocities. At infinite velocity, time ceases to exist and mass expands infinitely. This completes our paradoxical cycle from our previous understanding where from within the dualistic framework - i.e., from the observer or observed's experience - nothing can happen instantaneously or simultaneously. In simpler terms this is precisely because everything is occurring instantaneously and simultaneously from the perspective of the singularity. In an odd way. this emulates the notion of the Pauli' exclusion principle.

This finally leads us to the notion that all possible "graphs" of experience are experienced. So again paradoxically whatever this conscious experience happens to be has occurred instantaneously the moment it was chosen much the same way the wave-function collapses. This gives us both the notion of free-will AND determinism co-existing as part of the fundamental paradox "in" the singularity. A natural follow-up question might be: what do you mean by "chosen" here? Honestly, I don't know. I suspect that whatever is being experienced right now in terms of consciousness is simply the path that can be precisely because it is. A secondary (or perhaps overlapping) theory is that, due to infinity, there will have been every conceivable and non-conceivable experience shared among all conceivable and non-conceivable things. It's paradoxes all the way down, man! This means that not only will I know what it's like to be "me", but every blade of grass, every graviton of gravity, creative intent, good and evil themselves, an Eldritch horror, and all that is not. A third explanation entails a sort of "trial and error" - an integral of sort over all possibilities that all occur simultaneously. Who knows?

Holofractal and Science

Okay, all of that was a bit metaphysical but still closely related to Holofractal and physics. If we're to try and hypothesize more concretely about how the laws of physics emerge (or explain consciousnes) we'll have to get quite a bit more technical. As I'm an amateur, I can only speculate at a high level but I suspect that quantum mechanics, specifically quantum field theory (QFT), will need to start considering some of the more fundamental nature of paradoxes, specifically symmetry and conflict.

As discussed above, there is a fundamental oscillation between two things, what is essentially paradoxes within paradoxes. This represents the "vibrational" or wave like nature of reality. That which what we actually experience, moment to moment, is the "particle" nature of reality. But the nature of this reality is fundamentally incalculable and unknowable. We have to admit that paradox as a fundamental nature of reality. Which implies that not only is infinity is to be found everywhere (including singularities, zero-point energy, etc.), but that exactness is an impossible, that everything must exist within some essence of probability and/or chaos. Chaos Theory was so promising, showing an intrinsic relationship and patterns binding nearly every field of import. It showed how critical not only initial values are but how infinitesimally small values have huge impacts. Yet Chaos Theory has mysteriously been abandoned. For instance, could this be used to explain the "missing" 20% that we call dark matter?

Even though it was mentioned earlier, one thing that seems certain is that String Theory seems tenuous here since there isn't an intuitive sense in which these fundamental strings align with the paradoxical nature of duality. This tends to guide even more strongly in favor of holographic principles as a final solution. Regardless, a theory of everything must include these dualistic, paradoxical elements at a fundamental level.

A perfect example are recent potentially contradicting discoveries about Dark Energy. Turns out the cosmological constant might not actually be constant, but that dark energy might actually decay slowly. Instead of searching blindly for this, we should instead drive hypothesis around symmetry and paradox. For instance, I would suspect that if this turns out to be true, the rate of decay for dark energy is probably some inverse of the speed of light. Furthermore, I would expect then that the acceleration of the universe would also decay and eventually reverse into a big crunch. This would reflect a symmetry with supernovae / black holes and, well, oscillations in general. Think about the idea of the entire universe itself vibrating as if it is its own paradox trying to resolve itself. How's that for recursion?

Things Get Weird

Taking this paradoxical nature of reality for granted, it seems intuitive then that the ostensible paradox between physics and metaphysics can also be bridged. Not only that, but that this relationship seems inevitable.

Let's take the Law of Attraction and mysticism in general for example...

What if it were possible to map Beethoven's 9th Symphony onto the Mandelbrot set? Or if we could find a Strange Attractor or Poincaré map on a timeline of all major historical events ("history repeats itself")? What if we could animate eigenstates that produces Shakespeare? What if the stock market aligned with the orbital resonance exerted on Saturn's rings? Would it seem reasonable to dismiss these as mere statistical anomalies?

If not, does it seem far-fetched to go from the placebo effects to crystals? From quantum spin liquid to vibrational energy? From p-adic numbers to sacred geometry and astrology? Considering aforementioned Pilot-wave theory and Panpsychism, how inconceivable is it that mere thought - let alone words and actions - literally echo through reality and may "return" to us that what we put out (a la Karma and Dharma)? Per the Hermetics, the Universe may indeed be mental. And the greatest paradox of all, if not ironic, is that this ancient wisdom, which science rejects outright, may have been the universal key all along.

Regardless of how we try to reconcile these, it seems to follow from the fundamentals of our paradox theory that they are all in some way both true and not true.

Food for thought.

Learn about a virtual slow-motion camera that can capture photons or light particles moving through space which may be useful in medical imaging, in industrial or scientific use or even in consumer photography

RAMESH RASKAR: We have built a virtual slow motion camera where we can see photons or light particles moving through space. Now, you have seen Dr. Jordan's pictures of a bullet through an apple. But photons travel about a million times faster than bullets. So our camera can see these photons or bullets of light traveling through space.

ANDREAS VELTEN: We use a very regular pulse light source and a camera that is not one camera but an array of 500 sensors, each triggered at a trillionth of a second delay. So even though each of our sensors is slow, we can still capture a fast movie.

I'm standing next to our laboratory set up here. This is our camera. Objective is in the front here. The body of the camera is much larger than what you would expect from a regular camera like the one over here. Our light source is a titanium sapphire laser that's over here. And it's a beam of very, very short pulses. And those pulses are then directed to the scene with these mirrors.

Now, our camera only sees one dimension so it makes a fast movie but it makes a fast movie of one line of the scene only. And in order to fix that, we have these two mirrors here. We look at the scene via these two mirrors, and then we rotate this upper mirror here, we actually see different lines of the scene.

So what's happening is the camera keeps taking images and we very slowly rotate this mirror to scan our field of view across the entire scene. And because all of our parts look the same, we [INAUDIBLE] go and combine all these images that we took to get one complete movie of the scene.

RASKAR: Such a camera may be useful in medical imaging, in industrial or scientific use, and the future even for consumer photography. In medical imaging, now we can do ultrasound with light because we can analyze how light will scatter volumetrically inside the body. In industrial imaging, one can use the scattered light to analyze defects in materials. And in consumer photography, we're always fascinated with creating lighting effects that appear to come from very sophisticated light sources. But because we can watch photons seemingly moving through the space, we can analyze the transport, the movement, of these photons and create new photographs as if we had created those expensive light sources in a studio.

It seems particularly close to some of the concepts put forth in many holographic theories. I'm still digging, but looking for any information or writing that might show how one influences the other.

The paper "The Unified Spacememory Network" by Haramein et al. presents a breathtaking and thought-provoking vision of the cosmos, where consciousness, information, and the fundamental structure of spacetime are intricately intertwined. The authors propose a paradigm-shifting framework that challenges our current understanding of the universe and invites us to explore the profound implications of a holographic, interconnected reality.

At the heart of this groundbreaking work lies the concept of the unified spacememory network (USN) – a vast, intricate web of quantum wormholes at the Planck scale that forms the very fabric of spacetime. The authors suggest that this network possesses an inherent proto-consciousness and acts as a cosmic information processing system, encoding the memories and experiences of the universe within its holographic structure.

The paper presents a captivating idea: that matter, including the proton, emerges from the coherent structural-geometry of Planckian vacuum fluctuations within the USN. The properties of particles, such as mass and radius, are proposed to arise from the holographic relationships and information content encoded within the spacetime structure itself. This holographic principle suggests that the information of the entire universe is contained within each and every particle, a mind-boggling concept that challenges our perception of scale and interconnectedness.

But the implications of this work extend far beyond the realm of particle physics. The authors propose that the USN drives the evolution of the universe towards ever-increasing complexity and organizational synergy. They suggest that the universe itself is a learning, evolving system, with the intricate feedback loops and information exchange within the USN guiding its growth and development. This idea paints a picture of a cosmos that is not only alive but also imbued with purpose and directionality.

The philosophical implications of this work are equally profound. The notion that consciousness is not an emergent property of complex matter, but rather a fundamental aspect of the universe itself, challenges our understanding of the nature of reality. It suggests that consciousness permeates every level of existence, from the quantum realm to the cosmic scale. This idea has the potential to bridge the gap between science and spirituality, offering a framework that unifies the objective and subjective aspects of reality.

If the ideas presented in this paper are validated through further research and empirical evidence, they could revolutionize our understanding of the universe and our place within it. The concept of a universal spacememory network that underlies the fabric of reality could provide answers to some of the most profound questions that have puzzled humanity for millennia. It may shed light on the nature of consciousness, the origin of the universe, and the purpose of existence itself.

While the ideas presented in "The Unified Spacememory Network" are currently speculative and require rigorous testing and validation, they offer a tantalizing glimpse into a potential future where science and philosophy are united in a grand, holographic vision of the cosmos. This work invites us to expand our minds, to embrace the possibility of a universe that is not only deeply interconnected but also alive with consciousness and purpose. It encourages us to see ourselves not as mere observers of the cosmos, but as active participants in its unfolding story, woven into the very fabric of spacetime itself.

When some old coot is hollering about the 'Æ' word being so bad, what's really the beef, anyway? Well, it's the word itself. And words have meaning. The word defines something that's extremely gossamer, spiritous, next to nothingness in substance, no different in utility or function than vacuum. And "vacuum" or "aether" are the furthest definition there is from the subPlanckian Space Medium, the Plenum. The words define something.

To continue with the archaic and stigma-ridden 'Æ' word is totally antithetical. Not only does it mean "near-nothingness", but the stigma is so deeply entrenched in academia that hearing the word provokes an automatic Pavlovian response of disgustipation and derision. Even to suggest there being a space medium evokes yowls against trying to "resurrect the ether theory".

The Vaisheshika school is known for its insights in naturalism.[4][5] It is a form of atomism in natural philosophy.[6] It postulated that all objects in the physical universe are reducible to paramāṇu (atoms), and one's experiences are derived from the interplay of substance (a function of atoms, their number and their spatial arrangements), quality, activity, commonness, particularity and inherence.[7] Everything was composed of atoms, qualities emerged from aggregates of atoms, but the aggregation and nature of these atoms was predetermined by cosmic forces. Ajivika metaphysics included a theory of atoms which was later adapted in the Vaiśeṣika school.[8]

From Buddhism:

From the Avatamsaka Sutra - "If untold buddha-lands are reduced to atoms, In one atom are untold lands, And as in one, So in each. The atoms to which these buddha-lands are reduced in an instant are unspeakable, And so are the atoms of continuous reduction moment to moment Going on for untold eons; These atoms contain lands unspeakably many, And the atoms in these lands are even harder to tell of."

"All were born from the practices and vows of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva; with the eye of pure knowledge they saw the Bud­dhas of all times and listened to the cycles of teachings set in motion by all the Buddhas; they had already reached the Other Shore of freedom; in each moment of thought they manifested great psychic transformations and approached all the Buddhas, with one body filling the assemblies of all Buddhas in all worlds; in a single atom they showed all objects in all worlds, to teach and mature all sentient beings, never missing the right time; from a single pore they emitted the sounds of the teaching of all Buddhas; they knew that all living beings are like illusions; they knew that all Buddhas are like reflections; they knew that all births in all realms of being are like dreams; they knew that all consequences of actions are like reflections in a mirror; they knew that all originations are like mirages; they knew that all worlds are like magical productions; they had accomplished the powers and fearlessness of enlightened ones; brave and indepen­dent, they were capable of the "lion roar" [refuting all concepts]; they entered deeply into the inexhaustible sea of intelligence and attained knowledge of the rules of the languages of all crea­tures; they traveled unhindered through the realm of space; they knew all things, without any impediment; they have purified all the realms of psychic powers of bodhisattvas; with bold energy they crushed the armies of demons; they always comprehended past, present, and future by means of wisdom; they knew that all things are like space and were free from contention and grasping; though they strove diligently, yet they knew that omni­science ultimately comes from nowhere; though they observed objects, they knew that all existents are ungraspable, by means of knowledge of expedients they entered all realms; by means of knowledge of quality they entered all lands. . . ."

A Wigner crystal is the solid (crystalline) phase of electrons first predicted by Eugene Wigner in 1934. It forms when a gas of electrons moving in a uniform, inert, neutralizing background they crystallize and form a lattice structure if the electron density is less than a critical value.

This happens because the potential energy dominates the kinetic energy at low densities, causing the electrons to form a body-centered cubic (bcc) lattice in 3D, a triangular lattice in 2D, and an evenly spaced lattice in 1D. - Wikipedia

At extremely low temperatures and at low densities, the repulsive interaction between electrons should see their potential energy dominate their need to zoom about, causing them to fall into crystal-like lattice arrangements. These crystals would not behave according to classical physics, but quantum mechanics, with the bound electrons behaving not like discrete particles but an individual wave - [A Summary of the findings on Science Alert]

Most experimentally observed Wigner clusters exist due to the presence of the external confinement, i.e., external potential trap. As a consequence, deviations from the bcc or triangular lattice are observed. A crystalline state of the 2D electron gas can also be realized by applying a sufficiently strong magnetic field. - [Wikipedia]

I'm wondering, if these structures are propagating at near speed of light in the form of 'coherent waves' that can form uniform lattice structures, would this be a byproduct of the fractal foundations of life showing themselves from the lowest of the spectrum (nature) to the highest (light).

Do you think it's mutual attraction or fundamental properties emerging 'intelligent' structures. Or whatever the equivalent of the Semiotics of each person's definition of 'intelligence'. [Binomial expansion, Natural math, 3D Fibonacci springs (2d spirals). Most are just descriptions of emergent properties of the universe, so I'm curious if this would be considered something like that as well.

I also keep thinking about soliton wave propagation through crystalline structures, I watched this Stanford PHD defense about optical computing w/plasma with magnetic crystalline structures and a paper about optical light in crystalline structures via electromagnetic modulation and it was fascinating how the platonic solids show up through light beam modulation. Similar to Cymatics.

So I'm wondering if external stimuli would work as a pseudo 'code' or if it's all internally produced.

I think I'm asking a deep philosophical question here as well, "Is there universal code, Is it intelligence, and is it omnipresent or does it propagate with the same boundary limits as us?

13.5 Questioner: Thank you. Can you tell me of the earliest, first known thing in the creation?

Ra: I am Ra. The first known thing in the creation is infinity. The infinity is creation.

13.6 Questioner: From this infinity then must have come what we experience as creation. What was the next step or the next evolvement?

Ra: I am Ra. Infinity became aware. This was the next step.

13.7 Questioner: After this, what happened?

Ra: Awareness led to the focus of infinity into infinite energy. You have called this by various vibrational sound complexes, the most common to your ears being “Logos” or “Love.” The Creator is the focusing of infinity as an aware or conscious principle called by us as closely as we can create understanding/learning in your language, intelligent infinity.

13.8 Questioner: Can you state the next step?

Ra: The next step is still at this space/time nexus in your illusion achieving its progression as you may see it in your illusion. The next step is an infinite reaction to the creative principle following the Law of One in one of its primal distortions, freedom of will. Thus many, many dimensions, infinite in number, are possible. The energy moves from the intelligent infinity due first to the outpouring of randomized creative force, this then creating patterns which in holographic style appear as the entire creation no matter which direction or energy is explored. These patterns of energy begin then to regularize their own local, shall we say, rhythms and fields of energy, thus creating dimensions and universes.

13.9 Questioner: Then can you tell me how [the] galaxy and this planetary system were formed?

Ra: I am Ra. You must imagine a great leap of thought in this query, for at the last query the physical, as you call, it, universes were not yet born.

The energies moved in increasingly intelligent patterns until the individualization of various energies emanating from the creative principle of intelligent infinity became such as to be co-Creators. Thus the so-called physical matter began. The concept of light is instrumental in grasping this great leap of thought as this vibrational distortion of infinity is the building block of that which is known as matter, the light being intelligent and full of energy, thus being the first distortion of intelligent infinity which was called by the creative principle.

13.12 Questioner: Could you tell me how intelligent infinity became, shall we say (I’m having difficulty with some of the language), how intelligent infinity became individualized from itself?

Ra: I am Ra. This is an appropriate question.

The intelligent infinity discerned a concept. This concept was discerned due to freedom of will of awareness. This concept was finity. This was the first and primal paradox or distortion of the Law of One. Thus the one intelligent infinity invested itself in an exploration of many-ness. Due to the infinite possibilities of intelligent infinity there is no ending to many-ness. The exploration, thus, is free to continue infinitely in an eternal present.

I noticed that TorusTech / SpaceFed made a post, following up on Nassim's recent teaser about gravity tech. (the browsr's 'reader mode' makes it much easier to focus)

Without trying to dispute or confirm any claims, I thin it's interesting to use gravity waves to send signals.

So they’re saying to use gravity wave control as a means of FTL communications. Not an engine, but something better [military?] comms.

This is a less-typical angle, so I wanted to highlight it for possible discussion.

In the past few years, the holofractal subreddit has experienced tremendous growth as more and more people are opening their minds to the idea that the many modalities of understanding the universe (i.e. physics, spirituality, mysticism) are all pointing at the same concept - namely that we are living in a living, growing, self-referencing, self-reflecting, neural-net-esque, Holographic Universe.

This subreddit was founded on the ideas of Nassim Haramein - the latest pioneer in trying to formalize these concepts - which is summarized in this paper and many more on the sidebar.

The most apt tldr I can give is this: The Universe is made of nested boundary black/white hole toroidal objects. These objects nest information in a fractal manner, and all we see are different conglomerations of these objects. They are all entangled in a fractal network which allows for a holographic understanding of reality.

There have been many of these 'unified' theories throughout history, from Hermeticism to Buddhism, to earlier quantum physics pioneers like David Bohm (Bohmian Mechanics + Implicate/Explicate orders) and John Wheeler (It-From-Bit and Participatory Universe), etc.

Haramein and company are standing on the shoulders of giants, no question about it.

So what content should we post here? What are we looking to curate here?

It's obvious that there are many approaches to holofractal, this is simply due to the nature of a unifying theory itself - it encompasses...everything.

Some examples of 'related' but not directly holofractal are

The inherent intelligence in life which is directly a consequence of the fundamental information network that underlies spacetime itself - stuff like biophotons, microtubule intelligence, DNA as an antenna, EM vortexes causing cardiac arrest, and a fractal structure to human bone, and the basic fractal nature of the Universe manifested in biology.

Then there are physics subjects with findings like failures in the futile search for "Dark Matter", all galaxies rotating once every billion years, the link between black holes and stellar formation, time crystals, the reality of a single quantum wavefunction entangling the entire universe, and other 'mainstream' concepts such as entropic gravity and pilot wave theory that are in support of this approach.

On the other hand, we have people approaching from a spiritual/consciousness perspective. Stories like declassified CIA docs talking about Remote Viewing and consciousness, the Law of One, and philosophies of great minds like Terence McKenna, William Blake, and numerous scientists.

There are also people intrigued by the symbols and motifs found in ancient civilizations, pointing to an advanced culture that had holofractal understandings.

Sometimes these connections get lost when someone posts cauliflower or bubbles, goes heavy on the physics with retrocausal quantum theory, or animated gifs of the flower of life - however, the relation to holofractal is pretty direct in these posts, even if not obvious at first.

Something I would like to avoid is this place just turning into a new-age dumping ground, stuff like guided meditations, ancient knowledge with no relation to holofractal ideas (there is plenty related, but not everything), basic UFO postings, etc. There are subreddits for this.

Let's try and keep this place special, and not dilute the message!

I've just finished this book by Michael Talbot and it was really interesting. Personally I found it both readable and reasonable, without a tendancy to extrapolate too far from the central premise.

In it Michael begins by highlighting how riddles in quantum physics could be best explained by the holographic model. He then continues to explore a range of topics between the mind and body into space and time that point towards the universe being holographic and far different from how our senses and sensibility would have us believe.

I've been reading various metaphysical material for a while and found this book came at the right time for me. And it appeared in my life rather synchronously, which added to the allure of the material for me.

I'd recommend it as a read for those who have a reasonable baseline in such matters and who are able to accept the validity of psychic/metaphysical experiences without too much skepticism. I found the information sat well with other sources such as Law of One aka The Ra Material, accounts of hypnotic regression into past and between life states, NDE reports and Robert Monroe's writings, as well as the simulation hypothesis.

If you can find a copy it would be a good one for your library.

Let's take a quick refresher on how the body works. Each cell contains in it's center the enfolded (hi Bohm!) DNA - the code matrix which contains the total information for creating each and every protein -> cell in the body. Each stem cell, depending on it's surroundings / local environment / morphic signaling - will cohere into different types of cells, communicating with the neighbors to create cohesive structures and rhythms necessary to sustain and grow the body.

The DNA in each cell will also be holographically updated throughout the body as the body ages, informing the whole on epigenetic / externally modulated changes.

This is precisely a recapitulation (duh, we live in a holographic fractal) of what's happening with atomic systems. In fact, this is why the body works as it does - it's copying patterns. Each proton/hadron contains the virtual mass information from all protons - essentially the information structure on how to express composite form.

THIS is why we get negentropy across the cosmos. This is why an 'explosion' (big bang) happened that eventually turned into rocket ships and 747's against all logic and entropic ideals.

There is an intrinsic feedback and feedforward loop written into the fabric of space itself. Remember, protons aren't 'isolated particles' - they are something that the entire Universe is doing / extruding into and out of.

THIS is why simple protons congeal and coalesce together to form molecules, then compounds, then infinitely complex RNA/DNA, then biofilms, then tissues, then complex biology, then technology etc - this is no accident of random particle collisions.

What rhythms work together? Which decohere? Which coalesce into complex-form-orchestras?

Well it's simple - because where it happens once anywhere in the Universe, it's far more likely to happen again - and each time a pattern happens, that particular patterns morphic shadow / holographic resonance is strengthened in the holographic field.

Think of a cymatic, where certain interference patterns form complex forms. Then imagine the cymatic is holographic and non-local, with non-local resonance.

Forms arise because those forms are more easily duplicable due to their harmonic influence on the field.

This is Sheldrake's morphic resonance, the akashic field, etc.

As above, so below.

I just published an article that outlines the argument for an information-based metaphysical model that is complementary to modern physics. I set myself the challenge of making a compelling case in less than 3k words, and without going into any quantum physics. Its just straightforward chaos theory, contextualised by fractal geometry and aperiodicity, and is agnostic towards the ontology of the reader.

By the way, its on substack but it's totally free and I'll never ask for money. Just want to share ideas and hope they resonate with others.

Would love to hear feedback too.
