"Humans are the interface through which Universe flows"
- paraphrase of Buckminster Fuller
Tonight Deric and I (Swinton), had a most fruitfull
discussion which we decided to present as recap to Metaphysics Anonymous.
Our discussion started on the subject of the 'Dandelion Model' as
a graphic template for all the various themes and topics as of late.
At center would be chaos from which all the various and sundry theories
and formulations would radiate as spokes of 'spoken' order. The whole
thing would portray an interdisciplinary approach.
From there we went on to an idea I had of what I call
call the information inversion map where one goes from deep structured
entity assignments to superficial surface representations. The relative
measures of redundancy and uniqueness are inverted in the process, but
thats another subject. Next, we talked about the importance of boundary
or surface measure relative to volumetric measure in the concept of
'scaling' as applied to any number of dimensions. Also as a topic was the
deep connection between mathematics of holography and the Fourier Transform.
We spent a while thusly, exploring various topics
trying to sort out just what it was that we were fishing for. Repartee
was the norm. I said ,"one man chaos was another's order". Deric said ,"one
man's entropy is another man's lunch". And thus it went.
"The more you try to pin something down, the more it wriggles".
Visual symbols and words dont usually overlap, but meanings do. But
what about auditory representations? Aha! ?
I came up with "Context is the light which transforms information
from uncertainty into knowledge. Anticipation of meaning is the cue for
the searchlight of focus. Uncertainty is a necessary precursor to knowledge".
Deric simply upstaged me with "Presupposition equals percept"!
Well, things heated up after that. Deric said he could imagine
Eldon steaming as we both went ballistic on the idea of involute-evolute
heuristics of n-dimensional abstraction flattening. I began spouting
analytical descriptions of how virtual motion trajectories interact
synchronously to produce events in time as sequential extended order
which synchronize with other events to produce extension in space as pattern.
To my delight this triggered something deep in Deric and he just blurted
out
"Of course... EMERGENT ORDER ACCRETES TO ATTRACTORS BY SYNCHRONY ...
Bootstrap Teleology if you will!"
Ha Ha. The Devil! you say.
