Natural philosophy

Natural philosophy or the philosophy of nature, known in Latin as philosophia naturalis, is a term applied to the objective study of nature and the physical universe that was dominant before the development of modern science. It is considered the precursor of what is now called natural science, especially physics.

Forms of science historically developed out of philosophy or more specifically natural philosophy. At older universities, long-established Chairs of Natural Philosophy are nowadays occupied mainly by physics professors. Modern notions of science and scientists date only to the 19th century (Webster's Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary dates the origin of the word "scientist" to 1834). Before then, the word "science" simply meant knowledge and the label of scientist did not exist. Isaac Newton's 1687 scientific treatise is known as The Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy.

Left to it's own devices inegnuity required that one discover how the process actually worked internally, before applying it to discovery and confidence building that may undermine growing toward knowledge and education, alone.

The ancient emphasis on deduction has its representative in Aristotle's Organum, and the new emphasis on induction and research has its representative in Francis Bacon's treatise Novum Organum.

Deduction and Induction

Our attempt to justify our beliefs logically by giving reasons results in the "regress of reasons." Since any reason can be further challenged, the regress of reasons threatens to be an infinite regress. However, since this is impossible, there must be reasons for which there do not need to be further reasons: reasons which do not need to be proven. By definition, these are "first principles." The "Problem of First Principles" arises when we ask Why such reasons would not need to be proven. Aristotle's answer was that first principles do not need to be proven because they are self-evident, i.e. they are known to be true simply by understanding them.

The Circle: Paradox and Paradigm by Reza Sarhangi & Bruce D. Martin

Abstract

The ultimate desire of mankind is to identify wholeness, to grasp the essence of being, to be integrated with the harmony, perfection, patterns, and cycles of the material, metaphorical and metaphysical worlds. This desire motivates us to explore the realms of fact and fancy, logic and metaphor, reason and emotion, to capture the whole of being in one part, to see it, hear it, feel it, and enjoy it in everyday life.

The circle is an object of nature, an idealization of pure mathematics, and a symbol or framework we use to understand and describe our world. The circle exists independently of human thought, as ripples in a pond, or the appearance of the sun and moon, or the shape of the iris of an eye. In mathematics, we choose to define a circle as the places at a constant distance from a center, usually in two dimensions. In this article, we look back at world history and the varied uses of the circle: literal and literary, physical and poetical, mathematical, metaphorical and mystical.

The two following diagrams are from site above.


The Mahakala Gonpo-Magpo chakra mandala, by A. T. Mann.

The Buddhist circular mandala designs have been used continuously for millennia. "A mandala (Sanskrit for "circle") is a symbolic diagram of the universe, arranged in circles, used in tantric Buddhism. The Swiss psychologist Carl Jung considered the mandala to be a universally occurring pattern associated with the mythological representation of the self

The following is a little bit of a fictional story about what happens in the the making of this Tablet, can become significant "for the life" as we have come to venture forward, lists some of the attributes of what exists, and what is written for each and very soul respectively?

Interior of the Pantheon, in Rome. The light comes from a circular
opening at the top of the sphere that is the building Mann, ibid., p. 43. Bruce Martin, 1994.

So deep, and searching for meaning, the nature of this tablet means that every geometrical written circle becomes the template, for what is to unfold in the future of that persons life, as well as, what the division of this circle represents, the quarterlies, allocates, and in rotation, the birth of this soul, to the accomplishment of the life, to mean on it's completion?

How vague indeed it is for the story teller, that artifacts in the history of our civilization is looked for, that it might have found uncovered in this "ancient place," the history of all souls, as well, the delving into the meaning of every life as it begins it's journey?

From whence, is such a expression sent, to its ray which "manifests in that light" could mean, that the elements in relation "gather around?" So while this element in relation, it is in the configuration space of our being, that "our colours are defined for us" as to the substance and nature of that circle? Inner/outer then, and how strange this world that it reflects all that has been harboured in the individuals nature.

That Mysterious Flow

That Mysterious Flow by Paul Davies This is a follow up post to the article Andrew Thomas presented for Bee article at Backreaction, "Every Now and Then."

It would have been nice to be able to see the content of the blog commentaries which are allowing pictures to greatly enhance the product and visual effect of our examples. Or, to consider Snap that would allow this comment to open in another window, as you hover over the link. For to display this using snap is a easy way of making the blog commentary more visual as well.

But onto what I would like to speak too, as Paul Davies wraps up his article.



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.

Enrique thinks Time is an Illusion too.

The way of our brain to know about that wavelength is that redness experience which cannot be communicated. I'm not saying that qualia do exist. What I say is that our brain handles that color information in such a way that creates this subjective experience. The same happens with sound. Althought soud is fully described physically by the speed, frequency, amplitude and shape of the wave in some media, we cannot figure out how it "sounds" until we acutally listen it. Same goes with temperature or odors. This doesn't mean that the world out there doesn't exist or that only exists in our mind. However all the perceptions that reach our brain have an existence that we consciously accept and I would say that that is the part consciousness plays here. We perceive that time flows and that is our brain's way to know about time.

The idea here then is to point to two aspects that are related to how we see consciousness as playing a part in the measure of time. One that Paul Davies did recognize that there is no "time organ in our brains,"( as yet) and, Enrique points to the subjective nature of the integration aspect I find in relation to this conceptual synthesis.

Left alone the subjective nature of our impressionable memory stores this information, and out of it "the scheme" is the mathematical basis which I have applied to the "mind mapping scheme" that goes on.

Part of the reductionist aspect of following the information is to go "backwards in time" in this subjective cognitive fashion, and trace the human experiential aspect of the daily living, and what the mind captures in it's recording. While this is being accomplished in the most subtle fashion of our thinking, the nature of the experience catalyst's itself into the pool of the collective unconscious of the soul.

Whether one would think we are limited to this life alone, there is a greater reservoir that we tap into at this point. While probabilistic in it's scenario(which life), the function is still less the the fashion I point to in the future, and it's causations relevant to that which follows in that presentation of the now, is, fastidiously in it's representations.

This is how I point to the "self referential loop" that the solidification and concretion's of our thought structures become a oscillatory reduction of the projection to the mapping of the schema. Who you are now.

The Future and past are connected.

They manifest through you and whether one would argue the illusionist facet of this proposal, it is the understanding that we are "limited by our perspective." While Enrique, moves to a "synthesis" is far from complete without understanding how the product of time is moved beyond the current perceptions housed.



The developing mapping that goes into the "Colour of Gravity" is the understanding that this coordinate space(configuration space) holds within it not only Boltzman's brain, but the understanding of the unification toward a fifth dimensional perspective.

Since the Lab model is a three dimensional model, it can only be represented properly in a three dimensional space.

While only a two dimensional representation above points to a map that must be given to gravity, as we look at the "Lagrangian aspect of the cosmos" it could also include the "space of the mind" which we operate in. It has become multi-dynamical living space, as we explore the solidification processes reduced to the biological functions of the human body. As we explore the phase conditions of the matter states. Emotive , intellectual and spiritual in it's breadth, is a much more subtle aspect of the "whole thinking being?"

The Map



What is the energy behind it, that it can manifest within your mind, and it then becomes this eternal puzzle of life? Remove all it's colour then, and we see the geometrics of its construction. This is the Scheme with which I point as we move to understand the full scope of this puzzle called life, and all it's expressions.

It was important that the understanding of consciousness connect to that eternal reservoir of life, we can come in contact with that very centre. So this is the idea I have about the connection between the past and the future. That while life is given to this frame of reference, the ultimate aspect of the life is but parcel of a much greater flow of energy that goes on within the divinity of the soul in expression.

The manifestation, is the recognition that the energy passes through from the soul's creation in this life time, to the living of this life. Such patterns that manifest within the context of the mind's pursuit is the recognition then of the energy packet contained in the puzzlement itself, that is offered for the reintroduction introspective search for greater meaning in this life, comes with, what we had learnt previously.

The future then is the greater puzzlement, that it lies open to the multitude of "fractal images" that manifest within the mind, as it tries to come to terms with all it's aspectsof the human condition transformed into human experience.

Clock Watchers

See Andrew Thomas's comment here and then look at the article in question here.

For the first time I have seen an actual sketch of the way I believe the sequence of events should be considered. But there is still a problem with it, that I will explain in terms of the past, and in terms of the future.

Clock Watchers by Marcus Chown

The Harding of the Categories

There is always a solidification of the material from other phases of existence and it would not be to unlikely that what is perceive is part of the intangible, yet, is closely connected to what is held in the moment of every now? While it may appear blocked in time sequences the topological transformation and use to this "self referential loop" is one of continuity, as we have come to see all aspects of the reality, and to this, Time may seem like a river?

Strobe the tap, and the flow seems very much different then what see of something that is flowing down, and from left to right, our past to the future. Yet, should we be concerned that the viability of all information contained in the Era before Planck time? That what is revealed in the singularity, is the direct connection to what is "Cosmological large in the sense of the now," and it's relations. Continuity, has to be expressed as this self referential loop, will include all of the past and it's future.

This in itself does not remove one from the probabilities of outcome. That what manifests in the future, are connected to such reflections, which point back to the unconscious. I see the unconscionable, as a viable source of all information. AS well, I see the future connected in every now.

The Complexity of Belief

It is easy to remain at any "solidification point" after having assigned the scheme, the conditions on which life will appear. By such solidifications, the probabilities and outcome are already determined according to these compaction modes.

Crucifixion (Corpus Hypercubus) (1954)-

Salvador Domingo Felipe Jacinto Dalí i Domènech, 1st Marquis of Púbol (May 11, 1904 – January 23, 1989), was a Spanish surrealist painter born in Figueres, Catalonia, Spain.

It was easy for Dali to assigned some extraordinary rational to what the geometrics of space could have implied, as he took this to mean in relation to the context of a religion. One bears his way in life, and what shall come of it after careful consideration? There is a scale of measure that each soul will apply to themself for the Judgement. It is this "reference point" that will dictate your future, and it is written? So what measure shall we attribute to any now if it was considered in context of it's oscillatory nature?

The self referential loop is a choice to solidify experience, and out of it, the factional discourse of life follows?
