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.

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 Making of the Tablet of Life

Change your thoughts and you change your world.

Simple frame of reference in the quote supplied above?


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

Jay Kappraf, Connections: the geometric bridge between art and science, McGraw-Hill, 1991, pp. 172-173.

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.

At 12:34 AM, May 04, 2008, Blogger Enrique said...

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?

A strobe light flashing at the proper period can appear to freeze cyclical motion Warning: This image may trigger photosensitive epilepsy. Please use it with due consideration, preferably by linking to it from a still image or text, with a suitable warning.

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?

The Socratic method

Death of Socrates by Jacques Davidthis picture depicts the closing moments of the life of Socrates. Condemned to death or exile by the Athenian government for his teaching methods which aroused scepticism and impiety in his students, Socrates heroicly rejected exile and accepted death from hemlock.

Self portrait of Jacques-Louis David, 1794, Musée du Louvre

Here the philosopher continues to speak even while reaching for the cup, demonstrating his indifference to death and his unyielding commitment to his ideals. Most of his disciplines and slaves swirl around him in grief, betraying the weakness of emotionalism. His wife is seen only in the distance leaving the prison. Only Plato, at the foot of the bed and Crito grasping his master's leg, seem in control of themselves.

See:Jacques-Louis David: The Death of Socrates

It was important people understood that even though there is this Glaucon who offers himself as a brother to Plato, it is the very "innate structure within the self" that I point too, as we search and quest our way in the world. It is about Creativity. Opening the doors not only to what has always existed but also realizing that such a stance is the provision for which the lightcone points to the now.

So what is of value is that we understand the dialogue can produce autonomous students whose strength are the understandings given, from compiling all the resources, and thusly, find of value that one may of found the discussion moved further by one more step?

Socratic Method

Socratic Method (or Method of Elenchus or Socratic Debate) is a dialectic method of inquiry, largely applied to the examination of key moral concepts and first described by Plato in the Socratic Dialogues. For this, Socrates is customarily regarded as the father of Western ethics or moral philosophy.

It is a form of philosophical inquiry. It typically involves two speakers at any one time, with one leading the discussion and the other agreeing to certain assumptions put forward for his acceptance or rejection. The method is credited to Socrates, who began to engage in such discussions with his fellow Athenians after a visit to the Oracle of Delphi. The Oracle of Delphi confirmed Socrates to be the wisest man in Athens. Socrates interpreted this as a paradox, and began utilizing the Socratic method in order to get his conundrum answered. Diogenes Laertius, however, wrote that Protagoras invented the “Socratic” method.[1][2]

Thus, I present the obvious in what Lee Smolin is trying( a picture perhaps of him writing the "Rovelli name," as an observable) a place in time, as he has positioned himself amongst particular views. That within every lecture, a telltale sign, that is continuously refined and pushed further, through his articulations. The realities, as he has come to believe of them?

So from within this context, I am referred back to the nature of the article by Bee of, "Every Now and Then," and the value placed on the Now. I will be posting a new post in regard to "The Problem of Time in Quantum Cosmology," for further consideration and relevance as extolled by the Backreactions article.

The Socratic method

Most Socratic inquiries consist of a series of elenchai and typically end in aporia.

Frede (1992) insists that step #4 above makes nonsense of the aporetic nature of the early dialogues. If any claim has shown to be true then it can not be the case that the interlocutors are in aporia, a state where they no longer know what to say about the subject under discussion.

Aporia

Aporia (Ancient Greek: ἀπορία: impasse; lack of resources; puzzlement; embarrassment ) denotes, in philosophy, a philosophical puzzle or state of puzzlement, and, in rhetoric, a rhetorically useful expression of doubt.

So moving forward here is the understanding that "Ingenuity can find it's opening by creating a configuration space" for the "sum over path" and "all probabilities," while holding, the idea that these would not evolve further in time? I mention the idea I had about the calorimeters and the views in relation to the configuration space earlier, and in this context I see what cannot evolve further other then to look at the relevance in regards to cosmology's look into what Glast measures are saying, at the time of it's expression.

These are still held in context of the universe, and is part of the evolution of this universe, whether one agrees with it or not. It is part of the resulting talk pointing out the evidence of "boltzman brains" materializing in that space.
