Resonance leading to phase transitions

There is a  unifying field that underlies space-time. (It is this unifying field which I call Pure Consciousness/awareness-which is different from biological consciousness/mind/thought)

---> This field, potentially  codes for vibrations of strings in two dimensions (up and down), where information of vibrating patterns of energy occurs in a chain of the binary distribution (2D)

---> Strings vibrate in the third dimension additionally,  resulting in 3D geometry of space (No time or mind, no cause, effect, only patterns of vibrations).

--->Resonance of strings in 3D space, lead to positive/reinforcing interactions between resonant strings and negative/repelling interactions between non-resonant strings. The structural outcomes of these interactions are knots, braids. For example, in a knot, repelling/negative structural outcomes are where the twist occurs out of the 2D plane into the third dimension of space, and then loops over the 2-dimensional plane to form a knot. In contrast, a braid consists of alternating positive and negative structural outcomes.  

---> Interactions between  knots, braids  give rise to the emergence of higher-order  particles,   that  interact, for example when a braid interacts with a knot

 --->Phase Transition occurs when particles such as protons, neutrons, and electrons interact. The differing number of these particles results in different chemicals as outcomes of phase transition, so that hydrogen gas has a different property when compared to neon gas or lithium metal.

---->  Higher forms of matter arise as a consequence of phase transition between interacting chemical compounds. This leads to very complex forms of matter which include the evolution from a single metabolic unit that replicates (life arising from non-life) and culminates in the human body.

---->The constant, background physical brain activity leads to embodied cognition and perception in time.

-----> This phenomenal mind/mental activity in time(3D+1D=4D)is what could be called emergent consciousness.

The above is a  flow or transition from a unifying field (energy) to matter.

 

It is a continuum

 The problem with science (to know, test ideas/hypothesis)  and spirituality  (adherence to spiritual practices) are that they are often at loggerheads with each other. This is because of the concept of dualism, which implies that these two areas are different.

The "reality" could not be farther away from dualism. The truth, whatever it maybe has to be on a continuum or a continuous scale and has to be compatible with objective evidence and subjective experience.

If  "science"  encompasses the realm of testable ideas/hypotheses, and "spirituality" involves conscious subjective experience, which can be tested directly or indirectly in an objective manner, then both can be visualized to be on a continuous scale.

The challenge with adherents of spirituality is that they say spirituality cannot be objectified. My question is then if spiritual practices, resulting in a transformation of behavior then consequences of spiritual practices can be tested objectively, by studying behavior. These will be correlation studies.

The challenge with adherents of science is that they become dogmatic about what can be tested. But this depends on the technologies available. With newer technologies, newer ideas can be tested.

I foresee a future, where the human experiences, and observes a spectrum, and arrives at the conclusion of a continuum. This is the unity, the theory of everything that underlies all there is. When this future arrives is an open-ended question.

 

Dynamism/Shakti

 Dynamism to me implies Movement.

I would use the Sanskrit word Shakti for it.

 Our Nature/Prakriti is the interplay or dynamic movement of the three attributes of inertia/tamas, activity/rajas and calmness/sattva.

The interplay between these three attributes is what  results in human behaviour and these attributes are features of the human mind. When tamas or rajas predominates, there is outward movement of the mind towards the world , in other words Pravritti. When Sattva predominates there is inward movement of the mind towards the witnessing self or Nivritti.

Excessive enagement with the world may result in existential dread.

A  healthy human mind is when Sattva predominates, and there is balance between rajas and tamas.

The terminology is from Yoga Psychology, which is an Inside Out approach. The world is experienced through the lens of a stilled mind.

The applications of this can be in the field of cognitive psychology. 

Meditation i.e. directed inward can be used to provide a calm substratum, whose lens  is through which the world is viewed. It is a direct solution for existential dread.

In this context I am posting the music video "Another day in Paradise".

Fractal Evolution

 I/II (see diagram below)- No counterpart in physical systems/organisms

III- Akin to pluripotent stem cell with multipotentiality

IV-Akin to  developing limb exposed to morphogen/growth factor gradient

V-Akin to developed limb, post-exposure to morphogen gradient

Pravritti (External activity/Karma, not the same as Karma-Yoga) and Nivritti (Internally directed meditation/Jnana Yoga, not the same as Jnana)

The meditative process is akin to the catalytic enzyme which overcomes the energy barrier via transition.

Since patterns in physical evolution directed outwards i.e. Pravritti follow the opposite direction in the same pathway as psychological evolution directed inwards i.e. Nivritti, I call evolution a Fractal development via phase transitions of vibratory energy reversibly to matter.

Fractal is not the way it looks, but the way it behaves.

Dealing with Cognitive Biases

A possible solution:

Question: What are the priors/assumptions whose lens via which you are interrogating truth?

Could not priors/assumptions of the mind be associated with cognitive bias?

Thus cannot the mind be stilled (via meditation processes) before one interrogates the truth?

This may lead to better thinking and more productive researchers and scientists.

Emergence of Agency/Mind

 The math of emergence of mind/agency involves fractals.

The physics of emergence of mind/agency involves phase transitions.

The chemistry of emergence of mind/agency involves interactions.

The biology of emergence of mind/agency involves organization.

Unmanifest-->PhaseTransition-->Manifest : Topology-->Phase Transition-->Geometry

 Brahman/Atman i.e. Unmanifest (universal/individualized underlying energy field) is analogous to topology. Even if the shape changes, properties are conserved.

 Mind/Agency (energy which manifests itself via interactions of vibrations leading to phase transitions) is analogous to Geometry . Properties such as size, shape, angles, dimensions which are not conserved on changing.

Unmanifest Brahman/Atman---->Phase Transition----> Manifest/Agency/Mind (Metaphysics)-Emergence of Agency in "organization" of products of interacting phase transitions. As ' organization dissolves ' Manifest becomes Unmanifest.

Topological properties----> Phase Transition----> Geometric properties (Physics/Mathematics)
