The Location of the Rooms

The theory of strings predicts that the universe might occupy one random "valley" out of a virtually infinite selection of valleys in a vast landscape of possibilities
Quantum Effect, however allow a manifold to change state abruptly at some point-to tunnel through the intervening ridge to a nearby lower valley.

By Raphael Bousso and Joseph Polchinski, Scientific America, Beyond Einstein, September 2004



What possibility exists if we did not see some resolve, as we examine the nature of what shall become the subject of these rooms? What is the significance of these locations then, that we shall appoint mountain places, and valleys abodes, that such thinking is reduced to something that comes out of statistical significance, and then materializes into the potential?

Another deep quantum mystery for
which physicists have no answer has to do with "tunnelling" -- the bizarre ability of particles to sometimes penetrate impenetrable barriers. This effect is not only well demonstrated; it is the basis of tunnel diodes and similar devices vital to modern electronic systems.

Tunnelling is based on the fact that quantum theory is statistical in nature and deals with probabilities rather than specific predictions; there is no way to know in advance when a single radioactive atom will decay, for example.

The probabilistic nature of quantum events means that if a stream of particles encounters an obstacle, most of the particles will be stopped in their tracks but a few, conveyed by probability alone, will magically appear on the other side of the barrier. The process is called "tunnelling," although the word in itself explains nothing.

While I used Mt Olympus previously, I thought, hey! why not use another individual's picture for comparison. While these pictures become fixtures in mind, the rooms that we are going to visit are places that have certain potentials realized are conceptually defined for us as we enter.

Now one must know is that like every culture of our historical past, it is important to take the myth and bring it down to earth for some comparative view. What place is this, if we had not journeyed to the valleys for consideration?



As a lay person following the debate on the issue of Finiteness in String Theory landscape was the point technically reached that I was referring too.





IN concert with Virtual Reality of the Ancients, I am going to bring the science back into the picture for a minute, so one understands that the developing views had not been without some basis of thought in my considerations.

The landscape became an important look at the relationship to the "topography of the energy" and hence, it's relations that point too, the aspects I wish to create in these rooms. Now indeed, such configuration spaces talk about the potential that is realized when there are "consolidating factors" that reduce the potential understanding to the valleys.

It had to be philosophically sound, in that the comparative features assigned to metaphorical creations, would instill, and form the basis of that science, as well as, furthered information as a consequence in setting up the models for the production of these rooms.

The equations of string theory specify the arrangement of the manifold configuration, along with their associated branes (green) and lines of force known as flux lines (orange). The physics that is observed in the three large dimensions depends on the size and the structure of the manifold: how many doughnut-like "handles" it has, the length and circumference of each handle, the number and locations of its branes, and the number of flux lines wrapped around each doughnut.


Still within context of this given space, the relationship to a "space in the universe" does not discount that other probabilities exist, where these rooms are possible. It thusly creates an place closer to the "indecomposable element that we've assigned," not only to the possibilities, but also what is injected into this space from beyond the confines of that room.

    The Virtual Reality of the Ancients

    Okay, here is a "fictional setting" about the lands one may venture too, and the landscapes, that speak to the hills and valleys, and "all that kind of stuff" where tunnelling can make itself known. A Place, where the genus figures lie.

    Mount Olympus:View from Litochoro

    In the Greek mythology, Mount Olympus is the home of the Olympians, the principal gods in the Greek pantheon. The Greeks thought of it as built with crystal mansions wherein the gods, such as Zeus, dwelt. It is also known in Greek mythology that when Gaia gave birth to the Vols they used the mountains in Greece as their thrones.


    I am drawing attention to the way in which "ancient ideas" would now be represented. How one may create "this place as a virtual architecture room," created specifically for such meetings.

    Elysium

    In Greek mythology, Elysium (Greek: Ἠλύσια πεδία) was a section of the Underworld (the spelling Elysium is a Latinization of the Greek word Elysion). The Elysian fields, or sometimes Elysian plains, were the final resting place of the souls of the heroic and the virtuous. It is associated with the Christian Heaven.


    Now, there are different places out there in the computer world, and Bloggeries seem to suit this purpose, and where such connections to this room, would be as if, "Skype had entered the room." It has brought people from their very own homes, as a technological expression and talk furthered in this medium. How nice.

    But imagine, that such a room becomes the place in which information enters, and if it was considered "above the configuration space," then not only would this information allow direct connections to vast resources, but it would also allow the complexity of probabilistic outcomes to merge with events that can happen within this room?

    Heaven

    In the modern age of science and space flight the idea that Heaven is a physical place in the observable universe has largely been abandoned.[citation needed] Religious views, however, still hold Heaven as having a dual status as a concept of mind or heart, but also possibly still physically existing in some way on another "plane of existence", dimension, or perhaps at a future time.[citation needed] According to science there are unobservable areas of the universe (everywhere beyond earth's Particle horizon), although by their very nature it is not possible to observe them.


    This room then becomes an expression, and by it's very nature, a cyclical version of what we can create, and what we create, comes from. Information then is about creativity and how we use "this energy" to connect with the real world.

    The Medallion, like a Overcoat

    Benjamin Franklin came to mind. It is about what we wear in terms of the medallion, as we philosophically display our wares for other to see. See, the way we "walk the talk."

    Plato:

    Benjamin Franklin in his epitaph call it an overcoat we put on, and the summation of this is the accumulation of life and all it trappings and wondering. How simple of any of us to think it is the "actual overcoat" when we know the deeper resonance such epitaph can make of one's entire life. As if, the life were a "book of a kind." With death to come the realization of an worn out cover.
    See: Mapping the Pathway Inside.

    Times Capsules ,and Written Records?

    Again, I hate quoting myself.

    Here's the thing, if the culminating aspect and integration of all conceptual principles are given a wide berth then the idea here is to see that the "product of time," is elevated to the aspect given to a "gravitational perspective" I have assigned to colour.


    Showing a "2 dimensional picture" had a greater meaning when it is moved to a fifth dimensional thinking. This is where "Colour of Gravity" would had to be applied? You might think that we cannot ever elevate the thinking here beyond the confines of our abstractions, and the relationship seen in the production of the signals of the body, have now a greater latitude then would have first been seen. Sure it rests in the attributes of the thinking human being who has received the impression, of, what had been spoken, written, and demonstrated in their actions. Moves further into the exploits of probabilistic outcomes.

    What and how this title is used, "Times Capsules ,and Written Records?" asks the question in regards to the "intent of time as a potential?" is "Part and parcel" of the wider picture(the all).

    Phil Warnell:
    For me and many it has always been a problem how one can consider the nature of Einstein’s space-time with the nature of the quanta in a consistent manner. In one all of what can be and where and how it can be is there in completion; in the other what is there has no firmness beyond perception. How then could both be true? For me the answer has always seemed to rest with what we call potential.



    Have I singled out "the phrases" as an inclination then in my observation, about what is constructed "in the experience that lies as a root cause of one's lifetime." What has it accumulated too, and what is the "singled out phrase" that may say something about that "whole life given the model perspective it has chosen." This is "the summation" and sets the pattern for the future.

    "It is very good that Stu Kauffman and Lee are making this serious attempt to save a notion of time, since I think the issue of timelessness is central to the unification of general relativity with quantum mechanics. The notion of time capsules is still certainly only a conjecture. However, as Lee admits, it has proven very hard to show that the idea is definitely wrong. Moreover, the history of physics has shown that it is often worth taking disconcerting ideas seriously, and I think timelessness is such a one. At the moment, I do not find Lee and Stu's arguments for time threaten my position too strongly."- Julian Barbour


    Of course to think that we are in the process and yet cannot see these patterns does not discount that determinism which I feel plays a role here about the connection to the probabilistic futures.

    Julian Barbour

    In my "The End of Time" I argue that the wave function of the universe is static and that the appearance of the flow of time emerges because the wave function of the universe is concentrated on configurations of the universe that we recognize as records. Edward Anderson and I are currently trying to develop this idea and create a theory of records. If successful, this work promises to explain the origin of the arrow of time at a fundamental level.


    How would one of interpreted this as a "brain signal" whose potential realized could have affected the whole being? I have not gone beyond the circumference of this cosmological view, yet the very small and the very large are always included.:)

    As above, so below? It is not about Heliocentrism, yet, in the undeducated mind it may be the "calling back" of the idea of a liminocentric orientated appeal for meaning in the greater expanse?

    Pattern recognition

    "To understand is to perceive patterns" - Isaiah Berlin




    Namagiri, the consort of the lion god Narasimha. Ramanujan believed that he existed to serve as Namagiri´s champion - Hindu Goddess of creativity. In real life Ramanujan told people that Namagiri visited him in his dreams and wrote equations on his tongue.



    Pattern recognition is a sub-topic of machine learning. It can be defined as

    "the act of taking in raw data and taking an action based on the category of the data".


    Most research in pattern recognition is about methods for supervised learning and unsupervised learning.

    Pattern recognition aims to classify data (patterns) based on either a priori knowledge or on statistical information extracted from the patterns. The patterns to be classified are usually groups of measurements or observations, defining points in an appropriate multidimensional space. This is in contrast to pattern matching, where the pattern is rigidly specified.

    Within medical science pattern recognition creates the basis for CAD Systems (Computer Aided Diagnosis). CAD describes a procedure that supports the doctor's interpretations and findings.

    A complete pattern recognition system consists of a sensor that gathers the observations to be classified or described; a feature extraction mechanism that computes numeric or symbolic information from the observations; and a classification or description scheme that does the actual job of classifying or describing observations, relying on the extracted features.


    That's part of the problem when the pattern has been identified, it sometimes then becomes the rest of the life's work to bring more clarity to what was brought back from the subtle journey the soul had taken into a seemingly chaotic world.

    The pattern is worked on, and represents three dimensional model. While a two dimensional picture, it represents life's "attentive intent to build." While this pattern is not specific to me,it is used to explain the process, and exemplifies the soul attempt too, find one's wholeness. While speaking t the cyclical nature of this experience, and it's further meanings as a "time capsule" or, "written record." It can then become the fictional medallion that one might ware to be reminded of the life they have chosen.
