'If we wish to understand the nature of reality, we have an inner hidden advantage: we are ourselves a little portion of the universe and so carry the answer within us.' - Jacques Boivin
I have come across to this concept for a while now, but not seen any explicit comparison. Since my recent TAR, I have been thinking about this a bit more. Previously I posted '7 Senses' but the fields were not right.
TAR suggests that there are ten senses;
{{measure,touch,balance},
{taste,touch,smell},
{see,touch,hear}}
Together with the all inclusive nothingness {}, they are ten. Each triplet is mediated by it's own type of touch sense. In a sense, they differentiate or evolve from this root sense. They touch each other by this sense in the brain. The three touch senses are mediated by the touch sense mediating the {taste,smell} duality. The feeding related touch sense is the origin of all senses.
There are 5 known fields;
{{strong,weak},{higgs},{light,gravity}}
Higgs is not observed yet and theorized to be a scalar field. Each field has it's own charges. Light has (+,-) charges, Gravity has mass, Strong has the color charges, and Weak has the (W+,W-) charges.
Similarly senses have their own organs. Vision has eyes, hearing has ears, taste has mouth, and smell has nose. They are all mediated by the root senses in the brain. Clearly the brain mediates all senses. I propose that there is a root sense doing all this mediation. Consider the following mapping;
{see,hear} ---> {light,gravity} ---> {star,universe}
{taste,smell} ---> {strong,weak} ---> {cell,species}
{measure,balance} ---> {?,?} ---> {time,space}
The last column is from TAR.
The first line groups {see,light,star} and {hear,gravity,universe}. The fist triplet is reasonable. In the second, {gravity,universe} correspondence is also fine since gravity is the force shaping the outer aspect of the universe. Interesting that hearing gets mapped to gravity. Gravity makes the geometry for light to operate in, and hearing sets the context for vision to operate in. Bats use the this context setting property of sound to navigate. In movies, audio sets the mood, while video coveys information.
The second line groups {taste,strong,cell} and {smell,weak,species}. {taste,strong} relationship is reasonable, since both are short range. It is interesting that {cell} falls in this triplet. It seems cell is all about taste. They have to touch each other to do things. {smell,weak} correspondence also seems reasonable. Weak has a longer range than Strong, like Smell and Taste. Why does Species fall into this triplet?
The third line groups {measure,?,time} and {balance,?,space}. {measure,time} and {balance,space} correspondences are reasonable. The organs of the balance sense are the three liquid filled hairy rings for each inner ear. What is the organ of the measure sense? It is known that the brain is run by clocks. Maybe there is a central clock. What are the fields standing for the question marks? There must be two unknown fields. Thus ATON predicts two new fields and their corresponding charges. Maybe space-time are the charges of these fields. Maybe space-time is a field of the black holes. This seems quite credible since they are the boundaries. Also rings a bell with Hawking's holographic principle.
Moreover, there must be ten fields to reflect the ten senses proposed by TAR. Higgs is like touch; it is a scalar or generic field. Maybe Higgs divides into three.]]>

{{time,matter,space},
{cell,organism,species},
{star,galaxy,universe}}
With the all inclusive bracket {} nothingness, they are ten.
Recently it occurred to me that the new cosmological models predict ten dimensions. Anyway, this is not the main point here, I just wanted to mention it.
Hawking's entropy formula for a black hole is proportional to the area of the event horizon. This means that nothing gets lost in a black hole and there is a maximum entropy density, which happens to be on a surface. I suppose the area of a black hole is calculated according to the flat space-time much further away from the horizon, since space-time does not exist at the surface itself.
Encouraged by the TAR, I wanted to compare the brain to the black hole. Neurons are distributed on the surface of the brain and all the inner bits are wiring. Whatever happens in the brain, actually happens on the surface. Like a black hole. The difference is that black holes are connected to it's body from the outside, and brains from the inside. Black hole is like the brain of a galaxy. It's body consists of stars, nebula, gas, dust and other stuff. Latest research suggest that the earliest galaxies also had black holes. Brains also form very early in organisms.
Galaxies seem to form a huge collective meta brain, like humans and other organisms form a huge meta brain. Now we are building the internet to take this meta brain to a new level. I think the internet is the first step of humanity in the merging of our minds to the hardware of the universe. This has been suggested before. I think there are types of black holes, as there are types of galaxies. There are two main types; elliptical and spiral. Like organisms; male and female. Galactic society seems to be a reflection of the organic society, but maybe inside out.
Nucleons are made of 3 quarks and 3 gluons. There are two types; proton and neutron. Proton is stable by itself; neutron decays to proton, electron, and neutrino. Proton seems to have infinite life-time. Maybe it has the life-time of the universe. There are also 3 primary and 3 secondary senses of an organism; {{measure,see,taste},{balance,hear,smell}}. Touch is a generic sense and mediates all senses. All senses are types of touch. Brain is made around the senses. Proton seems to be the smallest possible black hole. Well, maybe not a black hole but something closely related. It's constituents are confined. As if it reflects the outer world; space-time. It is also connected to it's body (electrons, photons, and other stuff} from the outside.
It seems the organic brain mediates two types of 'material' brains; {nucleon,brain,black hole}. It exists by sandwiching itself between two reverse brains. And it's form obeys the quantity triplet; {0,1,infinity}. The question is; what is the nothingness that includes the lot?]]>
{measure,{see,{taste,{touch},smell},hear},balance}
Measure and balance are not normally regarded in the senses. Balance is achieved in the inner ear's hardware in the form of three liquid filled hairy rings for each ear. Balance seems to qualify to be a sense. Measure is more difficult to judge as a sense. If sciences are also listed in the same manner, measure becomes clearer when it is mapped to mathematics;
{mathematics,{physics,{chemistry,{biology},psychology},intelligence},aesthetics}
Psychology is usually regarded to be a pseudo science. Intelligence is gaining more acceptance amongst cognitive sciences as computing advances. I think psychology will also acquire a respectable place amongst cognitive sciences in due time. Aesthetics includes things like philosophy, art, music, poetry, and not regarded as science. It studies beauty and sometimes uses mathematics as a tool.
This particular ordering of sciences has two aspects that relates to senses. All sciences are based on mathematics and they form a complexity ladder. Biology seems to mediate all sciences in dualities. Psychology couples to -or based on- chemistry, in that it operates in a field of chemicals like hormones. Intelligence couples to physics, in that it uses electricity -or light- in the neuronal circuitry provided by brain. As suggested before, aesthetics somewhat couples to mathematics.
Aesthetics is used by most animals, if not by all animals and maybe all life. Aren't the flowers' smell and looks selected by insects? Similarly most plants are selected and shaped by animals. Animals also select and shape themselves. Isn't the sexual selection largely responsible for humanity's success? I think the universe shapes itself through a common sense of aesthetics. Don't many animals have a similar sense of music? My cat likes Bach. I was amazed with a camel's love of music when I saw the film Weeping Camel.
Similarly touch mediates all senses in three mediated dualities, as it is essential for sensing;
{{measure,touch,balance},
{taste,touch,smell},
{see,touch,hear}}
Smell evolves (or diverges) from taste as breathing separates from eating. {see,hear} coupling is not that obvious, but the symmetry involved is the same. It is like the {audio,video} duality in signal processing. The mathematics involved in video is a more complex version of audio. In both cases, dual sensing gives depth of field. {measure,balance} coupling is the hairiest. I think the core of a brain evolves around these two and their mediating touch sense. Measure is the root of all evolution. In quantum mechanics it corresponds to quantization of a field.
It seems the touch sense involved in each case is different, as there are many different types of touch. Touch is a generic sense. It senses temperature, pressure, hardness and so on. Thus we end up with nine senses, to match the nine aspects of reality;
{{time,matter,space},
{cell,organism,species},
{star,galaxy,universe}}
As life {cell,organism,species} mediates the universe, eating {taste,touch,smell} mediates life. We also get a clue to the nature of the three kinds of touches mediating senses. Consuming or fusing kind of touch mediates the other two; one soft, the other hard. The quantity triplet {0,1,infinity} determines all four mediated dualities. Three dualities themselves form a mediated duality through their mediators.
With the predicted 'zero' to include the lot, we have the ten aspects of reality. The tenth aspect is the aspectlessness, or rather nothingness. If the Higgs field corresponds to 'zero', what is the corresponding sense?]]>
{{time,matter,space},
{cell,organism,species},
{star,galaxy,universe}}
Each triplet has the form of the quantity triplet {0,1,infinity}, when
0 and infinity are replaced by finite entities. The transcendental
quantities {0,infinity} are not achievable in reality. Nature relates
the smallest to the largest through renormalization and quantization.
In each triplet, the first entry determines time. This classification
is also supported by the locality of time and it also predicts the
quantization of time and space. Note that 'organism' sits in the middle,
and life is sandwiched between two layers of material reality. It
seems, life is an integral part of reality. A 'zero' is also predicted
to contain the lot.]]>
Behaviour]]>
{{time,matter,space},
{cell,organism,species},
{star,galaxy,universe}}
as proposed recently in the Nine Aspects of Reality blog.
{time,matter,space} mapping is not that obvious. Locality of time, as established by the relativity theory, points to separateness of it. Quantum gravity theory proposes quantum space-time and thus also points to the locality of time. Space seems to be made of time quanta.
{cell,organism,species} triplet can be used to get some clues about the nature of {time,matter,space}. Cell is the object that determines organism's life-time. Species is the space in which the genetic information move from node to node. Each node is an organism. For sexual reproduction, two nodes get together to spawn another, thus enlarging the gene space. Hermaphrodite nodes spawn two nodes by themselves. Maybe time is more like hermaphrodites, since it is fundamental. The mechanics of the genetic space-time of a species must reflect that of space-time.
The life triplet also points to other invisible universes, since there are many species of life.
Stern-Brocot Tree is based on {0,1,infinity}. Cut-the-knot.org says 'A remarkable thing about Stern-Brocot tree is that it contains all possible non-negative fractions expressed in lowest terms and each exactly once.' The space between {0,1,infinity} is filled by a simple method of mediants.
Can SBT be mapped to fundamental categories?
0. {0/1,1/0} ... Higgs (U(0)?)
1. {1/1} ... Light (U(1))
2. {1/2,2/1} ... Weak (SU(2))
3. {1/3,2/3,3/2,3/1} ... Strong (SU(3))
4. {1/4,2/5,3/5,3/4...} ... Gravity (SU(4)?)
0. Higgs seems to have locality and universality combined. It seems when you reach the zero, you also reach the infinite.
1. 1/1 ... electric / magnetic. For life, stem cell.
2. 1/2 ... Z0 / {W+,W-}. For life, blood/{muscle,nerve}.
3. 1/3 and 2/3 make sense since they are used in the make-up of nucleons by quarks, and there are 3 color charges.
4. Gravity comes out of a 3+1 dimensional space-time and mass. The 5th item must refer to 'mass'. 1/4 seems to map to mass/space-time. 3/4 seems to map to space/space-time. I don't know much gravity so I can not interpret the rationals 2/5,3/5.
Note the 5ness of the classification list, {0,1,2,3,4}. 5 is related to 9 in a funny way that relates to the 3 triplets;
1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9 = 45
45/9=5
If the numbers are grouped into 3 triplets;
{{1,2,3},{4,5,6},{7,8,9}}
{{time,matter,space},{cell,organism,species},{star,galaxy,universe}}
Giving 5 at the position of 'organism', which has 5 senses. Also time gets 1, and space gets 3. Star gets 7; 7 layers of the periodic table? Matter gets 2; electric/magnetic, and since matter is made of light, E=mcc.]]>

"Soon, we may be eavesdropping on signals from Galactic civilizations," says theorist Avi Loeb of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA). "This is the first time in history that humans will be capable of finding a civilization like ours among the stars."
Loeb will present his findings on Wednesday, January 10, in a press conference at the American Astronomical Society meeting in Seattle, Wash.
Previous SETI programs would not have detected an Earth-like civilization. The searches often looked for beacon-like signals deliberately beamed across space. Such beacons may not exist. Also, most radio SETI projects examined frequencies higher than 1 Gigahertz in order to avoid interference from both Earth-based and natural cosmic sources.
Instead of looking for deliberate broadcasts, Loeb and his co-author Matias Zaldarriaga (CfA) suggest looking for accidental leakage from an alien civilization. They point out that the new MWA-LFD, which is designed to study frequencies of 80-300 Megahertz, will pick up the same frequencies used by Earth technologies. On Earth, military radars are the most powerful broadcast sources, followed by television and FM radio. If similar broadcast sources exist on other planets, facilities like MWA-LFD might detect them.
"The MWA-LFD is a science instrument intended to study the distant, young universe," explained Zaldarriaga. "But by piggybacking onto its normal observations, SETI researchers could use it to look for E.T. civilizations."
A SETI program at the MWA-LFD would complement other SETI projects. It will observe a larger area of the sky over a longer period of time and in a different frequency range.
Loeb and Zaldarriaga calculate that by staring at the sky for a month, the MWA-LFD could detect Earth-like radio signals from a distance of up to 30 light-years, which would encompass approximately 1,000 stars. More powerful broadcasts could be detected to even greater distances. Future observatories like the Square Kilometer Array could detect Earth-like broadcasts from 10 times farther away, which would encompass 100 million stars.
If alien broadcasts were detected, additional observations could measure characteristics of the source planet, such as how fast it rotates or how long its year is. By combining that information with knowledge of the parent star, astronomers could estimate the temperature on the planet's surface to assess whether it may have liquid water and life as we know it.
The MWA-LFD is a radio telescope designed to detect and characterize highly redshifted 21-centimeter emission from hydrogen molecules in the early universe. Its key scientific goal is to create a three-dimensional map of ionized "bubbles" that formed as the first quasars and galaxies flooded space with ultraviolet light billions of years ago.

I am searching for the title of a novel, which I think was published sometime in the mid-1980's. The story line is set in a separate dimension. A scientist, the father of the "traveller" went missing some years before. When the boy gets, for lack of a better word, sucked in to this same dimension, it is sort of like a big brother scenario. One of the first scenes he sees is a group of children, all bouncing a ball, all bouncing at the same height and speed. One child is off kilter, and is bouncing the ball at a different speed, actually drops it and it rolls away, the child chases it....the same child is seen later on in a chamber being "reprogrammed," though everyone is alive..no robots here. Anyone have any idea what this novel is??? It is driving me crazy :) I thought it was by HG Wells but I can't locate his titles. It was written around the same time as the Martian Chronicles.

Balance is the core of being. It defines one's location in time and space. Balance in space seems to have more priority over balance in time. Evolution clearly displays the importance of territory. In physics, location (geometry) forms the backbone.
For example, a hurricane takes it's vortex shape when a highly excited unstable locality brakes symmetry by collapsing and channeling energy in one angular direction. This direction is determined by the rotation of the earth. Spontaneous symmetry breaking is the mechanism used to make balance and define locality.
{OuterTouch, Balance, InnerTouch}
Balance uses inner and outer touch as its agents, when it evolves and differenciates more. The outer touch is the known touch. The inner touch happens between the heirs and the liquid in the 3 rings of the dedicated balance tissue in the middle brain. The brain performs the balancing function between these two touches. Brain mediates by correlating the inner to the outer.
{{Taste, Touch, Smell}, {Balance}, {Hear, InnerTouch, See}}
Then a similar splitting happens for both touch and inner touch, as the organism gets more complex and finds it's fundamental dual duality shape of the outer look. {Taste, See} and {Smell, Hear} correspondence demonstrates the level of correlation. See and Taste form the inner or local, while Smell and Hear form the outer territory. Dogs use smell and hear as the agents for defining outer territory.
{{Strong, Space, Weak}, {Higgs}, {Gravity, Time, Light}}
The energy expressed by gravity balances that of light. This is known but not yet integrated into physics properly yet. Potential/kinetic duality of energy comes from this. I suspect a similar thing is happening with {Strong, Weak}. {Light, Weak} and {Gravity, Strong} correlate strongly. The 3*2 symmetry of space is closely related to 3/2 symmetry of Strong. Higgs forms the background field which supports everything. Space is inner touch, time is outer touch.
Then each field splits similarly to create their charges.]]>
Sun has announced their Project Blackbox: a modular, prefab, stackable, shipping container-based, portable supercomputing and data storage warehouse – ideal for pirate utopias.
"After today," they say, "you'll never look at an ordinary shipping container quite the same way again. Project Blackbox is a prototype of the world's first virtualized datacenter – built into a shipping container and optimized to deliver extreme energy, space, and performance efficiencies." Project Blackbox is "a glimpse into the fast, cost-effective datacenter deployments coming in the near future."
Somewhat incredibly, "[t]he Project Blackbox prototype is a computing powerhouse capable of hosting a configuration that would place it among the top 200 fastest supercomputers globally."

What would it be like?
It would be very different from the computers we use – which, cast adrift from the power, contextual and semantic life support systems of our civilization, would be pointless (imagine you’re transported to the 14th century, or survive some future catastrophe, with your laptop intact – while the battery held out it’d be a curiosity – after the battery died it’d be junk – connectivity makes our logic devices valuable).
So a perfect computer would be able to connect to networks and inter networks, of course, but it would also have other capabilities that made it self sufficient, a stand alone resource.
The perfect computer (or maybe, instead of writing “perfect” I should write “useful anywhere and everywhere”) would have the following characteristics:
* Astoundingly durable – so mind bogglingly durable you could toss it over the side of the Grand Canyon (or, if this continental American reference is un-usable, imagine the perilous gorge of your choice), climb down after it, and boot the tough little bastard up.
* Self powered
* Store all human knowledge and media (or, a reasonable amount of it) so you could look up how to do anything, watch movies, listen to music and read any one of millions of books.
* Incorporate sensors that allowed it to determine environmental conditions, detect toxins, perform radar sweeps and just generally be able to interact with the real world, crunch data and produce information based upon what’s going on in 3D.
* Employ both voice and touch interfaces (not exclusively, there’s still room for a keyboard)
* Employ some level of what’s called artificial intelligence
* Be able to perform instantaneous language trasnslation (perhaps through an earpiece transmission so my lack of fluency in, say, Farsi, is hidden).
Of course, a universally useful robot would have all of the above but also be mobile and capable of lending a hand (enforcement of Asimov’s 3 Laws of Robotics would be good too).]]>
RFID tags - Radio Frequency Identification - , those pesky little plastic or paper devices that you find on your clothes and basically every product nowadays, are potential monitoring devices.
They're extremely useful, and not just for their obvious security purpose. They allow every product to be tracked en route from the factory to the store, ensuring that nothing is ever lost. When the products arrive at the warehouse, managers already know their exact inventory. They know when to order more, etc., and they know how much is being bought, and its all automatically kept track of on their computer system. They can't be stolen without setting off an alarm. But when the clerk 'deactivates' it at the counter, it only becomes deactive to the security scanning system. It is just passive. It requires no power source. Upon sending out a signal, the device picks it up and reveals its postion. Thus the positions of all products can be tracked - in and out of store, before and after being purchased.
Imagine a future where your clothes try to sell more of themselves to you. Or where corporations can monitor your habits and advertise unique products to you that you would be likely to buy.

A young Dutch architect has created a floating bed which hovers above the ground through magnetic force and comes with a price tag of 1.2 million euros ($1.54 million).
Janjaap Ruijssenaars took inspiration for the bed — a sleek black platform, which took six years to develop and can double as a dining table or a plinth — from the mysterious monolith in Stanley Kubrick’s 1968 cult film “2001: A Space Odyssey.”
“No matter where you live all architecture is dictated by gravity. I wondered whether you could make an object, a building or a piece of furniture where this is not the case — where another power actually dictates the image,” Ruijssenaars said.
Magnets built into the floor and into the bed itself repel each other, pushing the bed up into the air. Thin steel cables tether the bed in place.
“It is not comfortable at the moment,” admits Ruijssenaars, adding it needs cushions and bedclothes before use.
Although people with piercings should have no problem sleeping on the bed, Ruijssenaars advises them against entering the magnetic field between the bed and the floor.
They could find their piercing suddenly tugged toward one of the magnets.]]>

correlate all its contents. - H.P. LovecraftAnd then came The Huge Entity Forum...
So I've been thinking. What do we have here (and i hope to outline the word 'we' in that sentence)?
- A slowly dying, never quite catalysed community of like minded idea dreamers.
- A festering forum of conceptual manure, seeped in abstract nutrients.
- A communal desire to set the universe to rights.
These are the facts, painful as some of them might seem. I am fascinated by the manner in which our paths have converged. Something draws us (the vague few who repeatedly traverse this space) to this domain. A desire perhaps to click that oft visited bookmark and stumble upon a new vista of imagination; an alternate perspective we had never considered previously.
I'm in the mood to correlate the contents of something, whether a mind, a collection of minds, or an entire universe. This place has the potential to detonate abstractions, smashing the resulting shards of nonsense into the shins of anyone who dare cross this forum's boundaries. [Could I manufacture any more ridiculous metaphors? I try my best...]So here's the deal friends: communal sustinence. Smashing the luncheon meat of normality with the meat pulverizer of abstraction. Something needs to be done!
There is no way I will sit by and watch these minds drift away, drawn by more resolute internet conceptions. This space could be great, if only we made it that way.

I love this place... the conversations which have, quite literally, evolved on here over the last few months have been a constant source of inspiration. The Huge Entity Forum has attracted interesting minds with interesting views on reality - rare that such pleasures converge so readily.
In about 2 months from now I will be leaving my life in Japan and heading back to the UK, via various, and as yet undecided, places. I would like to think that in my absence (of a few months) this place will continue to grow, taking directions I never could have imagined. Regular mind manipulator Idoru345 has said he will look after this place somewhat whilst I roam, I hope you guys have enjoyed this space enough to keep coming back.
Also, very shortly, there should be an update to the software this forum is based on (Vanilla v 1.0). It will bring with it all manner of goodies including easier editing, the abiliity to upload your own images, flickr intergration, personalised RSS feeds and loads more than I can yet guess.
So I ask you...
What would you change about this forum if it were yours alone to manage? I would love to know the kind of chat you'd like to see more of, less of... things I have done right so far and things I could improve on. What would it take to make this place feel more of a home and less of a drop-in bedsit?
