Laurent, et al,
Give or take a few minor differences, the below overall description
of absolute consciousness or perception/action (awareness, will,
etc.) -- as the fundamental cause (along with infinite wave
interference patterned holographic structural information) of total
spacetime, mind, matter-energy, brain-body, etc -- pretty much agrees
with the ABC fractal involved field model of cosmogenesis, mind and
consciousness posted at:
http://dzyanmaster.wordpress.com/2009/05/12/3/
The major difference is that the ABC model explains the actual pre
cosmic source of the "pilot waves" (as part of Bohm's implicate
order) represented as the analogous higher order hyperspace fields on
the lowest order physical plane of the total cosmic manifest space...
With the noumenal source of phenomenal consciousness and all mass-
energy (spherical standing wave) forms being the fundamental
qualities of the zero-point singularity of unconditioned absolute
space located everywhere in total (hyperspherical) spacetime...
"Whose center is everywhere and circumference nowhere"... With all
cosmic information contained as a virtual hologram in the spin
momentum of every ZP center of consciousness and soin momentum source
of each harmonic fractal field within total spacetime -- down to the
infinitely dense cosmic singularity and its first axion or virtual
particle-standing wave inside the Planck space and extending at
infinite radius around all manifest cosmic space.
In addition, the ABC model explains the actual mechanism of
perceptive consciousness in detecting, holographically
reconstructing, and perceiving the hologram of the visual image field
processed by and transformed by the holographic brain and transmitted
through the higher order harmonic EM mind and memory fields (in
hyperspace) by phase conjugate adaptive resonance processes... The
same method, in reverse, that the physical particle spherical
standing waves are constructed out of the analogous holographic
information contained in each ZP spin momentum singularity at their
centers. Thus, it's obvious, as Einstein said, that 'all matter-
energy is space in motion'. He was referring, of course, to the
unconditioned "father=mother" or first differentiation of the cosmic
singularity on the physical plane, that he called the "Aether" (See,
his Leiden Lecture of 1920).
Note that, in accord with the fundamental unrenormalized theory of
general relativity, it's the physical spacetime's vector space (and
its compressive gravitational and expansive electromagnetic fields,
spiraling into and out of every ZP singularity which are relative --
not the supposed "time vector" (which is simply a measure of change
not a 4th spatial dimension) -- as normally assumed by conventional
physics.
I suppose that Einstein intentionally misinterpreted this in order to
make his SRT and GRT considered as part classical physics, in order
to get his initial papers published in the peer reviewed journals of
his time. This decision must have haunted him for the rest of his
life -- since it prevented him from finding a mathematical solution
to a unified field theory. I'm sure he knew that gravity and
electrodynamic fields were essentially the same fundamental force
field underlying all metric space -- one, the compressive/attractive
aspect and the other, the expansive/repulsive aspect. Naturally,
nothing can come from nothing -- and all metric space, matte-energy,
information, and consciousness are all interrelated and dependently
arising aspects of one fundamental reality -- that we can only call,
"eternally ubiquitous, unconditioned absolute space".
Accordingly, the initial shape of every radiant energy field
spiraling vortically into and out of a ZP singularity, is in the form
of a spiral vortex double helix -- with a basic cube- octahedron
crystal geometry that ultimately resolves into 8 x 8 nested
tetrahedrons. Thus, explaining the complementarity of gravity-
antigravity on the one hand, and electricity-magnetism on the other.
This fundamental structure of space can be clearly seen in the
opposing polarized radiation of all super dense neutron stars
(pulsars) at the center of supernovas. Apparently, the birth and
death of all forms of matter-energy in total space are seemingly
reversely identical
I guess that's enough about this "New Physics" paradigm to give us a
good start in figuring out all the rest for ourselves... (Like, e.g.,
explaining all paranormal experiences and psi effects, and
determining if the ancient philosopher-scientists were right in
saying that our individual consciousness lives on after death, and
that it reincarnates periodically, in accord with its accumulated
karma?)
