Dimensions Inbetween
"Yet I exist in the hope that these memoirs, in some manner, I know not how, may find their way to the minds of humanity in Some Dimensionality, and may stir up a race of rebels who shall refuse to be confined to limited Dimensionality." from Flatland, by E. A. Abbott - Flat Land: A Romance of Many Dimensions
See: Analysis and Assessment of Gateway Process
There has been a lot of talk over the years about extra dimensions. It has never been totally clear to me how to define that rigorously and effectively. A matter dominated world, it becomes scientifically accredited when it is repeated, or, it has been falsified.
The concept of dimension is not restricted to physical objects. High-dimensional spaces occur in mathematics and the sciences for many reasons, frequently as configuration spaces such as in Lagrangian or Hamiltonian mechanics; these are abstract spaces, independent of the physical space we live in.
The thinking here in regards to the scientific explanation, is that in place of space-time, consciousness becomes capable. The brain, in context of this article, is functioning with regards to how consciousness amplifies it's use of energy?

The surface of a marble table is spread out in front of me. I can get from any one point on this table to any other point by passing continuously from one point to a "neighboring" one, and repeating this process a (large) number of times, or, in other words, by going from point to point without executing "jumps." I am sure the reader will appreciate with sufficient clearness what I mean here by "neighbouring" and by "jumps" (if he is not too pedantic). We express this property of the surface by describing the latter as a continuum. http://www.bartleby.com/173/24.html
It always nice to have a smile on your face while you debunk.:-)
A Model for Science
Science is growing more complex, and so are the problems scientists face. A growing number of researchers argue that changing not just how we do science, but how we share it as well, would unlock vast new opportunities. A recent conference at Perimeter Institute asked: Is the time right for open source science? See:Can open-source software be a model for science?

The Tao of Life
Wholeness implies a circular function and integration of these active and passive forces within the individual them-self. Active and passive features in the way we objectively and subjectively interact with the world around us and within us.
While bold in the application of active and passive forces the degrees of this participation is represented. Hard and soft, movement and resistance. While in opposition these are never apart as wholeness implies.
These do have psychological associations in mind, as represented in the active and passive understanding of information access and transmission. These are also represented in the eeg associations of an active and passive mind. Heart like, these can be rated in pulse.(see Mandelbrot and Seth Cohen) These are bio-metric markers, much as cell phone antenna's are specific to your phone. Algorithmic written as a debit card signature.
The range and application of the understanding here in relation to the processes of science was a development characteristic I gained over the years while developing an understanding of the nature of the active and passive features within our world. Superconductors, the nature of viscosity in the science processes and active transmission of information within that science development. These were developed as an understanding of energy particulates that make there way into earth's medium environment. AS well as, an understanding in the nature of crystallization, as represented in the idea of sound as cymatics.
The intuitive framework has to recognize that you have already worked the angles and that such intuition is gathered from all that has been worked.......I am not saying it is right just that I have seen this perspective in development with regard to scientists as they push through the wall that has separated them from moving on. This then details a whole set of new parameters in which the thinking mind can move forward with proposals. Fractals and Antennas and The Economy
