still about imagination.
I remember...<br />Dear Hamed,<br /><br />still about imagination. <br /><br />I remember that when I heard for the first time the definition of manifold, I regarded it as boringly trivial. Now, when I have been working with the notion of p-adic manifold, I have realized its beauty via the visualization. One has something about which one has chart leafs and chart leafs contain common regions which must be mapped to each other by chart maps to achieve consistency.<br /><br />In p-adic context the first question is simple: should one use p-adic chart leafs or real ones. The obvious first guess would be "p-adic" but it leads to difficulties: p-adic open balls are either disjoint or nested and the intersection of p-adic balls does not make sense if they are open balls. Furthermore, single point is open ball p-adically so that the manifold decomposes to a dust! Total disconnectedness.<br /><br />The second option would use real chart leafs. After realizing this I also realized that I have been working from the beginning with the problem whether I should map p-adic space-time surfaces to real ones by what I call canonical identification. A possible interpretation would be in terms of cognitive maps. p-Adic space-time surfaces would be "thought bubbles" and indeed define "maps" of the real world. This option turned out to work really nicely. <br /><br />Also finite measurement resolution emerges unavoidably: I can have only canonical identification for subset of rational points for a preferred extremal. At the other side one must complete the canonical image of this set to a preferred extremal.<br />Thought bubbles do not represent the material world completely faithfully as we know!;-)<br /><br />A further nice outcome is that also p-adic integration can be defined rigorously by doing the integration for the real canonical image and algebraically continuing the result to the p-adic side. <br />This allows to generalize the notion of differential form and one can indeed speak rigorously about p-adic variants of metric and induced gauge fields.<br /><br /><br /><br />Matti Pitkanenhttp://tgdtheory.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10614348.post-89867774606955433822013-02-04T00:48:28.597-08:002013-02-04T00:48:28.597-08:00
Thank you for questions. They are extremely usefu...<br />Thank you for questions. They are extremely useful since we get gradually rid of mis-interpretations. I have the feeling that a lot of progress in this respect has taken place. <br /><br />[Hamed] The projection of space-like 3-surface of M4*Cp2 to M4 is space-like 3-surface too but the projection of light like 3-surfaces(X_l3) to M4 is <br />partonic 2-surface.<br /><br />[MP] I would not say this. I try my best to distinguish between partonic 2-surfaces X^2 and light-like 3-surfaces as their light-like orbits X^3. I also try to mention that the signature of induced metric changes at X^3. I however probably forget to make the distinction clear always<br /><br />*What is the dimension of the projection of light-like 3-surface X^3 to M^4? Is it 3-D in general. I am not sure. If so it would have have metric signature 1,-1,-1. In any case, wormhole throat has 3-D CP_2 projection since wormhole contact has 4-D CP_2 projection.<br /> <br />*Partonic two-surface X^2 is defined as the intersection of light-iike 3-surface X^3 with either light-like boundary of CDxCP_2. This is why its dimension is lower. <br /><br />*One could of course *define* the projection of X^3 to partonic surface by projecting along light-like curves to the partonic 2-surface at its end. This kind of projection actually appears in some construction. This projection would allow to map the points of the partonic 2-surfaces at the ends of generalize line of Feynman diagram to each other in 1-1 manner.<br /><br /><br />[Hamed] When i am touching an object in really i am touching partonic 2-surface and <br />light is propagating from the partonic 2-surface to my eyes.<br /><br />[MP] This could be a simplified description for the process.<br /><br />[Hamed] Projection of X4(X_l3) to M4 is M2*E2. E2 is the same as partonic 2-surface <br />but M2 is in the direction of propagation of light.<br /><br />[MP] I agree if you mean M^4=M^2xE^2 and we are talking about preferred extremals with 4-D M^4 projection and therefore Minkowskian signature. Partonic 2-surface is something different from E^2. <br /><br />Note that simplest string like objects X^2xY^2 subset M^4xCP_2 have M^2 as M^4 projection: I am not sure whether string like objects are limiting case of preferred extremals but not preferred extremals. In this case E^2 is not however partonic 2-surface.<br /><br />[Hamed] I have a problem for imagination. when i want imagine these things, M4 fills all of my content of imagination and there will not be any room for <br />imagination of CP2 or wormhole throat;-) if i want to imagine space-time as 2-surface glued to bigger space-time by wormhole throat, partonic surface <br />in the picture is forbidden because it is 0-dimension in this picture!<br /><br />[MP] Imagination is indispensable tool if one wants to understand TGD. Only in this manner one can eventually develop formalism relying on formulas. One should learn to generalize from lower-dimensional visual mental images. <br /><br />Two-dimensional visualizations tell a lot. Even 3-dimensional visualizations are possible and allow to imagine also partonic 2-surfaces: not as holes of boundaries but as boundaries where 4-metric changes signature (wormhole throats). To this you can add Kahler magnetic flux tubes and it is not terribly difficult to imagine wormhole contacts and the wormhole throats at their ends with a distance about 10^4 Planck lengths. <br /><br />Matti Pitkanenhttp://tgdtheory.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10614348.post-83347271108651094782013-02-03T21:28:32.140-08:002013-02-03T21:28:32.140-08:00Dear Matti,

Strictly speaking one cannot say that some system is conscious - consciousness is after all a property of material system, quantum state. The contents of consciousness, something between the universes before and after quantum jumps and not localizable to any geometric realm, is about some system. This is only thing that one can say.<br /><br />.1 seconds is one particular time scale of consciousness and correspondence to the geometric time scale of regions about which sensory mental images contain information. What is remarkable that this time scale correponds to that for CDs assignable to electrons. <br /><br />There are also longer time scales: increase the effective Planck constant of electron by factor n and the time scale of mental image increases by a factor n. For EEG photons to be dark photons with energy above thermal energy one needs Planck constant of order 2^(44) . This scales up .1 seconds to much longer time scale.Something like 10^12 seconds which means something like 10^5 years! <br /><br />Flow states and meditative states might correspond to large hbar consciousness. This would be very natural. Time scale of CDs increases and one can even remember earlier lives and see to the future.<br />It is quite possible that cells and neurons can be characterized by evolutionary level defined by the hbar associated with their personal magnetic body.<br /><br />Meditation and similar practices could induce phase transitions gradually increasing the hbar of your neurons.

HOWEVER, I submit that living moment to moment in electron time scale allows one to be fully-engaged in environment and thus, maximal information is obtained...all energies are entangled with environment. One could argue this is what we have evolved to do.<br /><br />"Going with the flow..."<br /><br />Flow now takes meaning as flow of consciousness.

Thank you for a good teaser;-). T...<br />To Fractality:<br /><br />Thank you for a good teaser;-). This relates to the definition of self. <br /><br />I defined originally self as a "fusion" of quantum jumps giving rise to what we call flow of consciousness. The analogy at the level of physics would be formation of bound states of particles to form higher level particles. <br /><br />This is actually much more than analogy: the space-time correlates for the self hierarhcy are space-time sheets containing smaller space-time sheets containing... Adding one still bigger space-time sheet one obtains a state at a higher level of hierarchy. This hierarchy is realized also for quantum states.<br /><br />Few years ago I realized that it might be possible to get rid of the notion of self as independent notion: quantum jumps would form a hierarchy and quantum jump=self identification would become natural. <br /><br />One can of course argue that the idea about myself as a moment of consciousness at some level of hierarchy does not look sensical. How this conforms with the fact that I experience a flow of subjective time.<br /><br />I do not claim to understand how the experience about conscious flow of subjective time emerges. I however believe that the existence of subselves identified as mental images and quantum jumps for them create the sensation about flow of time. My moment of consciousness has this fractal structure of mental images having mental images having ... and this implies that I experience it as entire life cycle.<br /><br /><br />Strictly speaking self hierarchy means only the existence of conscious experiences with fractal structure. Conscious experience with contents assignable to CD contains components with contents assignable to its sub-CDs , which contain.... This a statement only about contents of conscious experiences. <br /><br />The illusory introduction of intentional agent as the locus of sensory input can be seen as a practical convention making it possible to speak about consciousness using our everyday language. <br />"I wrote a response to a blog comment" is much more practical than "There was a consciousness experience with the content that "I" wrote a response to a blog comment".<br /><br />Matti Pitkanenhttp://tgdtheory.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10614348.post-81420925870133772632013-01-30T20:10:43.564-08:002013-01-30T20:10:43.564-08:00To Wes Hansen:
I try to answe to the consciousn...<br />To Wes Hansen:<br /><br />I try to answe to the consciousness and dark matter related questions.<br /><br />1. Consciousness<br /><br />Consciousness - or rather awareness - exists in all length scales and time scales. Even elementary<br />particle have rudimentary awareness and even cognitive representations about themselvs realized in terms of p-adic space-time sheets<br /><br />a) In ZEO occur state function reduction occurs alternately for the two boundaries of CD carrying positive and negative energy parts of the state. When state function reduction occurs at lower boundary, it induces a superposition of states with well defined single particle quantum numbers and particle number at the upper boundary. This state is like the final state of particle reaction before measurement inducing state function reduction. The next state function reducing having any effect must take place at upper boundary. The conscious time evolution is like a pendulum: reduction at lower boundary, reduction at upper boundary, reduction at lower boundary,..... This has very interesting implications for the notion of time: subjective time corresponds to this sequence.<br /><br />b) Zero energy states corresponds to solutions of classical fields equations, entire time evolutions. Quantum jump does not spoil the determinism of single time evolution since entire evolution is replaced with a new one: both past and future. Zero energy states correspond to modes of WCW spinor fields in ZEO and are solutions of WCW Dirac equation. The solutions of classical field equations correspond at space-time level to space-time surfaces inside CDs: preferred extremals of Kahler action analogous to Bohr orbits. Second quantized induced spinor fields are also involved and its modes are solutions of what I call modified Dirac equation: these make possible to provide WCW with spinor structure and speak about WCW spinor fields.<br /><br />c) Objective reality is replaced with multitude of realities identified as modes of WCW spinor fields: quantum superpositions of preferred extremals of Kahler action roughly. There is no "real reality" behind these mathematical objects. These are not needed if one assumes that consciousness is in the quantum jumps between these modes. Hence there is no theory-reality dichotomy: theory (WCW spinor field) about reality is the reality.<br /><br />2. Dark matter<br /><br />Dark matter to be distinguished from dark matter (phases with non-standard value of Planck constant) and also dark energy identified as Kahler magnetic energy assignable to flux tube would play star role in biology. The subtle energies - about which I cannot say much - might well relate to the dark matter and dark energy. Magnetic bodies and dark matter at them would be the new element in biology forcing to give up the belief that we are organisms are completely separate units and consciousness is localized in brain.<br />Matti Pitkanenhttp://tgdtheory.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10614348.post-76888612349056665122013-01-30T20:08:58.936-08:002013-01-30T20:08:58.936-08:00
To Wes Hansen:
Thank you for nice questions. Fi...<br />To Wes Hansen:<br /><br />Thank you for nice questions. First an answer to the question about zero energy ontology (ZEO).<br /><br />a) ZEO was forced by the construction of quantum TGD. ZEO states are zero energy states identified<br />as pairs of zero energy states consisting of pairs of positive and negative energy parts having opposite net quantum numbers. Zero energy state generalizes the event of positive energy ontology consisting of pair of initial and final state. ZEO is consistent with crossing symmetry of QFT. Positive and negative parts of energy states are assumed to be localized to opposite light-like boundaries of CD xCP_2, causal diamond CD is intersection of future and past directed light-cones (4-D rotational pyramid). CDs form a fractal hierarchy of CDs within CDs: size scales come as integer multiples of CP_2 size scale (assumption).<br /><br />b) ZEO has several motivations. Here some of them.<br /><br />*I want conformal invariance of the 3-D light-cone boundary delta M^4_+/- (boundaries of CD) and associated sympletic invariance as infinite-D symmetries giving hope about the geometric existence of world of classical worlds (WCW).<br /><br />*I want number theoretical universality: in other words I want to speak abot quantum states in all number fields and even transitions between quantum states in real and various p-adic sectors. The only manner to achieve this is to assume xero energy states: zero as well as unity are common to all number fields. Also rationals so that rational physics can be said to be in the intersection of all number fields: real and p-adic. p-Adic numbers fields are assumed to provide correlates for cognition. <br /><br />As a matter fact, I assing living matter to this intersection of real and p-adic world: intersection of mind and matter. One good reason for this is that number theoretic entropies are defined for rational entangelement probabilities and can be negative so that they correspond to information. This leads to the notion of negentropic entanglement characterizing living matter. Superposition of pairs in entangled state would provide a representation for the instances of a rule, abstraction as conscious experience. Metabolic energy would carry or make possible generation of negentropic entanglement. <br /><br />*ZEO allows maximally flexible ontology: any state is reached from vacuum so that maximal freedom of free will is possible. In positive energy ontology of classical physics only single solution of field equations is realized so that theories become untestable. In quantum mechanical positive energy ontology conservation laws allow only the states with fixed total conserved quantum numbers (for entire universe this condition is of course somewhat poorly defined).<br /><br />I will answer consciousness related questions in separate response.Matti Pitkanenhttp://tgdtheory.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10614348.post-37753268725594493842013-01-30T18:12:55.234-08:002013-01-30T18:12:55.234-08:00Matti:

My first question would be in regard to the zero energy ontology: what is it? And on what level of organization does “consciousness” exist? If consciousness is composed of the string of quantum jumps between solutions of field equations, how are the field equations, that is to say, the superpositions, generated? Does one start with a Universal Wave Function which randomly collapses generating Universal Consciousness? Would this suggest that consciousness and the quantum superpositions are co-dependent arising? And is there an objective reality? As you can see, I’ll have to read your books and papers . . . If Dark energy plays a significant role in biological self-organization can this dark energy be equated to the subtle energies of the contemplative sciences?
