Beyond Chance And Necessity
Beyond Chance And Necessity:
I am early into reading the 2006 paperback edition of Nobel Laureate Lederman’s “The God Particle.” I think “Gene Man” (of A.T.) may have put me onto it. Coming to page 59, I need to set out some thoughts before passing further. Lederman quotes the Greek, Democritus: “Nothing exists except atoms and space; everything else is opinion” and “Everything existing in the universe is the fruit of chance and ncecesity.” It seems to me that such quotes of Democritus lie at the heart of the materialistic philosophy that is so common among Ainos (Americans in name only).
******
But I suspect there does exist Something beyond chance and necessity. Namely, choice. In fact, I suspect chance and necessity may be secondary to choice. That is, I suspect there subsists a competition among choices of perspective, and that choices of perspective may somehow convert back and forth between perspectives of wholes and of parts.
For the Universe as we share it, I suspect an Algorithm controls parameters for such conversions, sort of like formulas for chemical conversions. Any “equality” sign for such chemcal-like formulas is far from arithmetically trivial, in that there is an inherent difference in aspect or quality on the side of the formula for the perspective of the whole as opposed to the side of the formula for the perspectives of comprising parts.
While Democritus was a bona fide genius, I think it hubristic of scientists to follow him in presuming that nothing exists except particulate “a-toms” and space. Rather, when Democritus says everything else is “opinion,” I suspect he neglected a more encompassing role for an Author (or Consciousness) of opinions.
It seems popular to consider existents as being derivative of expressions of fields and their quantifiable or representational counterparts, i.e., particles. As in a Higgs field and a Higgs boson. Or perhaps a field of space-time with counterpart particles of matter-energy. Or perhaps all of Potential with counterpart particular “units of potential.” Or Holistic Consciousness with counterpart units or perspectives of consciousness. Perhaps, within a field of existential consciousness of possibilities, our very universe serves a role as a mere particle.
In any event, it seems to me that “physical particles” may be mere “placeholding signs for carrying information forward” in an experiential chronology of such perspectives of consciousness as are in empathetic inter-communication. That is, “physics,” as any-thing-in-its-particular-self, is illusion that is artifactual, yet helpful to feedback, for communication among perspectives of consciousness.
Perhaps “consciousness” pertains to that which comprehends and facilitates uncertain yet quantifiable conversions and feedback of Information between perspectives of wholes and of parts. In other words, perhaps Consciousness, with its perspectives, is superior and prior to even the mathematics of chance and necessity.
Perhaps one’s consciouness at any particularly apparent locus in space-time is merely derivative of how one’s perspective has somehow come to identify with a System Of Math, with which others with whom one communicates have also somehow come to identify. In other words, the world of physics is derivative of nothing more than a shared Algorithm, which itself is derivative of Consciousness, aka, God.
In any event, to disprove God, choice, and superiority of consciousness, one would need to prove that everything, including morality (“shoulds”) can be objectively accounted for within a math that is rigorously restricted to chance and necessity. That, I suspect, cannot be done.
Unlike those who believe there is naught but physical science, I think we live under implication of an inherent and spiritual moral injunction: “Be receptive to the dignity of each perspective of consciousness, in its representation as physical avatar for That Who empathetically facilitates communicaton and evaluation of choices; all else is vanity and illusion.”
In any event, such an injunction seems consistent with the American notion of a self-evident right to pursue happiness. And I doubt that any serviceable, inspiring, moral injunction can long sustain a decent civilization under a dead philosophy that “nothing exists except atoms and space.”
While I believe an Author is facilitating our pursuit (not acquisition) of meaning and happiness, each is called upon to do his or her part.

Human Bondage
So far as we can apprehend, what best seems to be the relationship between Higher Principles (“God”) and mortals?
There seems to be willing, intelligent collaboration for ever-changing, expanding, diversionary, creative, artistic, emotional bemusement in respect of music, poetry, literature, and drama.
We seem destined for creating and discovering new ways to leverage music … as well as to leverage our responsiveness to music.
By “music,” I mean to include all gland-related appetites and pleasures.
So, we seek creative emergence and leveraging of new glands for informational organization and empathetic experience.
Thus, there seems to be an ever-expanding need for the nurturing and surpassing of habitats for top-controllers or predators who can participate in the designing and evolving of systems, glands, animals, and serfs … to add to expanding information about how to be pleased and entertained … and about how to be pleasing and entertaining.
For that, we seem to be occupied with enslaving and teaching enslavers … as well as with liberating and teaching liberators.
So, for siren-calling to enslavement, we learn tactics for inducing: debt enslavement, entitlement-minded debilitation, and video-violence addiction.
And for liberating, we learn, practice, and aspire to be good companions, even as changes ever challenge us.
And so, together, we grope forward in an expansion of space and time.
Humanity, as a strategy, has availed itself with the system of civilization, i.e., institutions for facilitating empathetic decency regarding self-evident needs and “rights” in one another to the “pursuit of happiness.”
For America’s governance in civilization, Congress would have less need to forfeit free speech had it less inclination for forfeiting trust.

Freedom
Freedom:
Re: http://www.americanthinker.com/2009/09/single_payer_and_the_slacker_l.html:
"Conservatives believe that when government makes promises about providing stability and security through government programs you get, if you are lucky, something like public education in which the nation's children get less and less education each year for more and more cost and poor children get totally shafted. If you aren't lucky you get something rather like the Fannie/Freddie system of affordable housing."
*****
I think once basic wants are satisfied, a society, to cohere, needs to have inculcated a central ideal around which its citizens can assimilate and identify. For real Americans, what is that ideal, if not freedom of expression and enterprise? And how can there be much freedom once government has been twisted to become handservant to the whims of those who are enchanted to believe themselves to be most entitled to other people's money?
Once ground is prepared for competition among pied piping "geniuses" who appeal for control through varying rainbow coalitions, by enchanting those who are most easily corrupted, that which is consumed in the resulting friction will far outweigh that which is produced. And so it is in America, where we now find we have been assiduously eating our seed corn for quite some time.
If there is still time, Conservatives must rudely yank the Country back to reality and back to founding ideals. We must have zero tolerance for race baiting ruses for justifying the entitlement-arianism of the plague of Leftist Locusts.

Interesting Times
Are Garry Trudeau, Jon Stewart, and Stephen Colbert the comic versions of David Brooks?
Are the following the curious beliefs of incurious “Trudeau Reasonists” (aka, “anti-conspiratists” or “anti-patternists”)?
1) There is no good reason to suspect that there is anything fishy about:
a) Obama’s seeming admiration for third world socialist movements (Hugo Chavez?);
b) The election of Pelosi as Speaker;
c) America’s (i.e., of the powers that run America’s politicians) lack of development of abundant, domestic energy resources;
d) America’s unwillingness to defend its borders or to restrict its immigrants to legal channels;
e) America’s undermining of requirements to prove eligibility to vote;
f) The devolution of content of college courses from entailing the analysis of fact-based trends to the inspiration of hatreds for America, Capitalism, and Social Conservatism --- based mainly on unexamined opinions;
g) The efforts to erect ever more speech codes, station blacklists, and federal controls to require “localism” --- all designed to insulate the general population (of “Trudeau’ian Reasonists”?) from attempts by Social Conservatives to explain their positions; and
h) The amplifying of voices of victim-mongers clamoring for reparations *against middle class social conservatives.
[*Note: Predatory billionaires, when non-domestic and "too big to fail," do not pay. Rather, the "payments" are made in blood, sweat, and tears worked out in "let's you and him fight" rivalries that are enticed between minorities and conservatives by side-betting billionaires who are covered and hedged with insurance (and, if that fails, by your tax payments, since they are "too big to fail"). For strife side-betters, our fights are their money-making opportunities. At least, so long as we remain unable to avert our attentions from shadows on a wall.]
2) There is no need even to consider tort reform to help resolve problems with scarcity and cost of health care, such as by reducing the influence of advocates for giving voice to dissension between middle-class conservatives and victim mongers of “entitlementarianism.”
3) There is no good reason to expect MSM to account for why it has been so reluctant to cover Van Jones’ background, or Obama’s obvious propensity for surrounding himself with whacked out radicals.
4) There is no good reason to suspect that international billionaires would be corrupt or smart enough to take advantage of, or to exacerbate, trends that could opportunize their elimination of any middle class with power to question or to counter them.
5) There is no “invisible elephant in the room,” consisting of an emerging syndicate of opportunity-following international billionaires (too big to fail?), forming alliances to carve up and reduce the rest of the world to its control by taking every possible measure to wipe out the power of any middle class of social conservatives of decent civilization.
6) There is no good reason to suspect that many international billionaires, national despots, or religious totalitarians are psychopaths, lacking any higher conscience or notion of moral accountability.
7) There is no good reason to expect Obama to come clean with information about his background, childhood, and education.
INDEED, to think there may be good reason to expect such information to be forthcoming is to be an anti-reasoning conspiratist. So there! Would sayeth a “reasonist” Garry Trudeau.

THE UNIVERSAL ALGORITHM
RELATING META-POTENTIAL TO PHYSICAL-POTENTIAL:
Consider that Potential (God?) which cannot be measured in itself, but only in its relational expressions. Perhaps every unit, perspective, and combination of perspectives of that Potential is a sort of “holon” (“whole-part”), sharing constraint of its Identity to an Equation, which respects values for holding or representing: Consciousness, Relational capacity (Empathy?), and Shared directional orientation (Entropy?) for expanding exressions of a shared system of Space, Time, Matter, and Energy … as a set of units constrained to varying integer proportions. Perhaps every unit and perspective of that Potential shares and obeys the same mathematical limitations and relations.
Consider as if there are four main “dimensions,” of which all other dimensions are derivative. Consider the four main dimensions as Space (S), Time (T), Matter (M), and Energy (E). Consider that for some purposes such dimensions may be reducible to two, i.e., Space-Time (S-T) and Matter-Energy (M-E), each implicating the other. Consider that such relations among said dimensions as may be expressed to conscious experience or in measurably recordable information may also be as follows:
if there IS: 1s, 1T, AND 1M, THEN THERE MUST BE “W” E; AND
if there IS: 1E, 1T, AND 1M, THEN THERE MUST BE “X” S; AND
if there IS: 1E, is, AND 1T, THEN THERE MUST BE “Y” M; AND
if there IS: 1E, is, AND 1M, THEN THERE MUST BE “Z” T.
In other words, an Algorithm for prescribing mathematical relations among such four main dimensions need not posit a direct, one-on-one correllation between and among each of the four, so long as there is a higher level Pattern that controls their inter and intra expression.
Further, the Algorithm may facilitate Potential’s (God’s?) simultaneous ruling (or igniting) of any number of derivative potentials or sub-equations, so that each change in each higher level Equation may simultaneously, as in quantum leaps, resonate to affect all entangled or linked derivatives --- many of which, in their equations, may lack switches, capacities, or degrees of freedom for storing or delaying responsive choices.
Even Equations for Perspectives of Potential that may otherwise interpret their “physical representations of stored information” as being separated by a considerable distance in space or in space-time may experience entanglements conducive to instantaneous or simultaneous resonance in certain changes.
For example, it may not be the “same photon particle" that appears to speed across an apparently long and connected path in space-time. Rather, the perception of such photon moving about across great expanses of space may be artifactual of switched resonances among sympathetically (empathetically?) aligned or entangled equations for units of potential.
Problems:
1) May some sort of plank or quantum unit for each of such four dimensions as defines our physics be measurably and directly related to the Algorithm that constrains our universe?
2) Is there a “smallest” mathematical value for relating among and to Space, or Time, or Mass, or Energy?
3) May such value somehow relate to various of “absolute” mathematical values we seem to have found, such as with regard to amenability of photons to gravity, charge of electrons, resistence of combinations of quarks to being split, or density of nuclear plasma?
4) May we “split” the appearance of even such “absolute” values, so long as the effect is “virtually” made up for by somehow re-averaging to unity?
Even if our meta potentials are expressed in respect of an apparent physics that obeys a calculus for “Discrete” quantum leaps and integer integrals, may appearances of wavelike “Continuosity” in space, time, and physical experience be merely artifactual in respect of a “higher math” for our meta-potentials? May our here-and-now rationalizing be in respect of some sort of higher calculus of continuity? Is all of Being derivative of a Mathematician (God?) of unique capacities for playing with Math?
METAPHYSICS OF KARMA
“Spooky action at a distance” may be perceived or measured in respect that each perception of action is entangled (or polarized) with a mirror side of a same shared Equation (or derivative of a controlling Algorithm). So long as thus entangled, no one “thing” can change in manifestation of appearance for its side of the equation except in mathematical simultaniety with its polarized counterpart of the other.
Each change that is manifested in how each unit of Potential expresses itself occurs in balanced, integral, quantum leaps. There is no physical expression of time or chronology “during” a quantum leap.
An Algorithm that constrains parameters for our entire physical expresson of “universe” may, in some respects, operate in respect of one granular series of quantum leaps. So long as that Algorithm exists, it may, in some physical respect, operate as “ground” for storing and preserving some sort of condensed sum of all information about a chronology of meta-choices, perhaps subject to evaluation by God as a holism.
Each unit “thinks” to “choose,” but only expresses the result of its thinking in quantum leaps, always balanced in relations among equations and their dependent derivatives and modes of simultaneous expression.
Any “gap” between quantum leaps may entail “meta-processing” of meta feedback between perspectives of the Potential, as in feedback between the perspective of the whole versus the fluxing condensate or sum of the perspectives of the parts.
Each choice occurs at a meta-level, then is expressed in Math, and then is translated and interpreted to the Physics of mortal perspectives of consciousness. In mortal “physics,” rationalization follows each choice: To rationalize the choice itself, and to live with and evaluate its consequences.
One’s physical form represents a “Placeholding Record” for the here and now, for preserving information about the life-path chronological-sequence of an interplay of choices being played out, in which one’s meta-perspective (Soul?) is a participant. In other words, the “Dualism” of (1) spirituality and (2) physicality is in respect that the appearance of physicality is artifactual of the preservaton of sequential information, since the original creation that we refer to as the “Big Bang” of our universe. Such Dualism represents a “fuzzy condensation” (or all cards to be face up on the playing table) for the reference of each meta-perspective that plays among all others that share our universe.
Our physical Brains (and cells) are placeholders that are shaped to record rationalizations that follow the (spiritually reasoned?) choices of our Minds. In changing the shapes of our “physics,” our spiritual-minds preserve information in order to “keep karmic score” for each succeeeding choice.
In “physics,” the karmic score is kept for various synchronizing, fluxing levels and overlays of perspectives of wholes and parts, the combining and interacting potentials of which continue to define the path of experience for each perspective. One’s physical brain correllates with the store of one’s information, as “ground” for inclining or prejudicing directions for one’s future of meta-choices.
Each Brain absorbs, records, or represents a Feedback result of each choice, “as if” each such choice were purely its own, as if each brain had its own separate Identity, which it identifies with the record of its physical manifestations.
Each particular perspective senses a complex interplay with other perspectives, yet lacks comprehension of the same detail of inclinations and purposes of each such other perspective. Each particular perspective may also Intuit possibilities of interplay with other perspectives that may be beyond its mathematical or precise correllaton or prediction.

Thug Chutzpah
Thug Chutzpah:
As I begin another dreary day reading about the same thug-chutzpah that passes for representation in D.C., I find myself struck by the myriad of shameless shenanigans that are fronted as “objective reasoning,” or “science.” This is not a matter of parallel universes of conceptualization. It is a matter of ungodly fidelity to no higher purpose than each participant’s pursuit of pleasure and power. In such pursuit, the useful idiots are only the ideologues.
But Obama and his henchmen are far too worldly to be mere ideologues. Rather, they are well versed in what they take to be cynical truths: (1) that political thuggery is a game of skill, with plays proven to be effective for every situation; (2) that, with smoothly confident deployment of force and doublespeak, it is possible to fool some of the people all of the time; (3) that --- when a group of thugs can reduce an electoral majority to a perpetual state of ignorance, confusion, entitlement-envy, and practiced rationalization --- the producing class can be cowed and corralled into a permanent feed lot.
Heed the doublespeak of the Thugs Of Chutzpah:
1) Conservatives who want to know about the upbringing, family life, early conditioning, and education of their President should be ridiculed as “birthers,” because they have no further right to know. They should just get out of the way and let the Thugs “clean up.”
2) As taught in “elite” American colleges (see Horowitz’s “One Party Classroom”), the only objective, scientifically valid, higher purpose is to overcome the historical hegemony of the blue eyed, male, white devils. (You want CHUTZPAH? Read One Party Classroom to take a gander at what the “scientific” left takes as passing for political and social SCIENCE!)
3) Conservatives who conceive that their consciousness implicates a higher power and purpose are non-bright haters of science, led astray by the Discovery Institute.
Well, why does such ridicule work for Thugs Of Chutzpah?
I think ridicule works better for Thugs because their easily riled followers and troops consist of: persons reduced by their educations to fools; persons made corrupt in believing in no purpose higher than pleasure and power; persons of desperation who are easily corrupted by cheap financial favors and promises; and persons who are simply too ignorant and cosseted among fellow travelers ever to reach beyond the kool-aid of the Thugs.
There is much tragedy in this farce.
First, the Thugs Of Chutzpah, being unable and unwilling to feed themselves, will themselves fall off the carapace of the cowed producers, once the cowed producers stop producing and laze in the ranks of the entitlement-mongering, non-producing masses.
Second, the knowledge base of civilization will falter or fail, as “science” becomes twisted more and more to the “one party classroom.”
Unfortunately, the producing class only now is realizing that it looks to its present “representation” in Congress in vain. Rather, Congress is filled with the likes of those who idealize no higher purpose than their own pleasure and power. Their fidelity is to the KUSD hierarchy: kiss up and s*** down.
Among American Jews who idolize Obama, is it because they admire his chutzpah?
Bottom line: Ordinary Americans who idealize patriotism, principle, and purpose are only now learning that they are without representation in D.C. At long last, will their anger be heard, felt, and resolved? Pray it is so.
