When young & restless everybody should look forward to discover and understand the world around, as Bertrand Russell says, to create an equilibrium between the universe — the many things around — and the self — the individual, the one-and-only.

It’s like finding your own way, defining yourself, metaprogramming your identities to face, interface the universe in which you are living. This could be and endless process due to the endless nature of the universe and the endless nature of the metaprograms and identities you might be built on.

This is an interesting game, a chase which never ends, something we used to call life.

If you are strong enough you might easily play this game and enjoy it for your entire presence.

But perhaps you are a normal human like the many of us not grown up / strengthen to that level thus you will be constrained enjoying the game. By the time, or as we like to call by the forces of nature

Remember as humans we are just simple channels to enable the flow, the manifestation of higher living organisms and universal rules. We only have the option to open as many channels as possible inside ourselves and try to relax, enjoy the show.

Okay but how we can strengthen ourselves to make life fully enjoyable? Who pays the bill?

What is that single, stable Socratesian point based on we can flip the universe around its corners?

The answer is simple: you must die first and reborn back to your original self to get that point, to know the meaning of your life, to find out the role you have as a human. If you did not done this yet you might get a good guide from Timothy Leary in his Tibetan Book of the Dead. Without a re-entry you should probably be as scopeless as majority of humans are.

First you should deconstruct everything, even your life, to be able later to get down to your very own essence.

If you don’t believe in the re-entry urgently do a reality check and try to understand John C. Lilly’s ideas.

Reconstructing Yourself After The Total Deconstruction

Once awaken and knowing why are you here you’ll get the energy necessary for all your entire presence, life. In other words all your energies in the future will be easily redirectable to realize the scope you’ve chosen at the re-entry. This energy won’t ever let you down unless you’ll misuse this gift, or you’ll accomplish the task you live for.

Once alive like a new-born baby you will have to reconstruct the world around to create the infrastructure on which your energy will operate. Without the infrastructure the energy cannot operate and manifest, it cannot be useful.

The Rules of the Infrastructure

Today the world, the infrastructure looks Lemian and it is driven by Y.  We are facing a global transition from closed to open societies, from fear to freedom:

• We know every message from mainstream should be interpreted with the opposite sign: the bad is the real good and vice-versa. We know that every fear of us is nothing less than our savior. Today we can freely re-metaprogram ourselves without any moral canon to consider.
• At the end of the Mass Consumption Era we have realised Less is More.
• When all is about spreading memes through repetition we have understood the vital & universal force behind the Don’t Repeat Yourself paradigm.
• When opening the closed we know how to multiply our forces and we do respect our Heroes who opinionate us. The most and best a Hero gives us it makes him shining longer and brighter.

Relax, it’s always and there will be a crisis.

The crisis applies only for those values which can be lost and only for those people who accumulated too much from these values.

Who did not realized the less is more, who repeated himself too many times it strengthened wrong metaprograms which now became difficult to rewire.

For the rest of us there comes the new era where you are gaining by giving, where stars, values and heroes need no promotion, where you can afford a sustainable living by doing what you really love, when all things will go on if you keep yourself open and clean.

In my last post I’ve presented Stanislaw Lem’s critics of post-modernism when talking about those future trends which will become reality for sure. (Based on his last two books before passing away).

Lem proved the correctness of his visions with “Summa Technologiae” written in 1964 as a collection of philosophical essays due to communist censorship. This book in fact was a cultural and scientific preview of the next decades … and reading the book now we can see how deeply he was right in predicting the future.

Lem’s major concern about the future is the completely missing of the moral canon, which until now was almost an unanimously accepted belief system of Westerners. In this post I’ll try to draw the profile of the next generation, who will take today’s totally missing morals as a starting point building their life.

The new generation today aged 15-25, so called by researchers Generation Y is the last generation of people born in the 20th century, guys who were born directly into post-modernism and the information era. In other words, they are the always-everything questioning “Generation Why”, or “Generation C” from building their lives on “content”. Or simply “Generation Cash” due to their effectiveness.

This is the last, or before the last generation (The Silent Generation is coming) of humans determined by natural evolution before autoevolution takes off building the next dominant life form on Earth.

Who Are They?

Before Gen Y there were two lost generations (the MTV and Boomerang Generations) but the new kids are not lost, they are taking their part from life right now right there. This is the replacement generation with some interesting characteristics like:

• They are the first generation who accommodated perfectly with the changed, new
  life conditions brought by the free communication in a free world.
• They don’t really care about the used, old media channels; they invent new ones.
• They don’t really care about the old morals, habits, social values & rules or constraints; they invent new ones.
• They don’t really care about the old lifestyles; they invent new ones.
• They don’t watch as much TV and movies as the old generations does. They don’t read literature. They like low cost & free music, the content.
• They are the Why generation, they question everything — even the nature of their reality.
• They don’t respect anything and anyone unless the respect is bidirectional and based on real values.
• They don’t like stars and heroes anymore. No more Tom Cruise. They are the stars and the heroes in their real life movies.
• They don’t trust the future. They want it all now.
• They are the CONTENT generation. The content where the immediate and instantly real value is their God.
• They create, advertise, and consume content participating in all levels of this process.
• They are in control – they are their own boss & control what they do and how theydo.
• They are eager to customize and co-produce everything.

The profile of the Gen Y is:

• impatient – the speed is the only virtue of today’s heroes. They have the energy to step forward if their speed is constrained by old world obstacles.
• skeptical – all of them are equipped with bullshit detector. You can’t lie them. They like the bullshit if happened, but they don’t like if something is hided, infected by lies.
• multitasking – they do many things simultaneously. Sometimes they are called the Einstein generation.
• free & open – self expression is more valuable than self control. They are free minded and very realistic: old world cannot force them to automatic behavior (respect to elders, etc.). Everything is seen through their lenses but they are infinitely correct and honest. You just must understand and talk on their language.
• image driven – image, visuals are everything for them. They really do 3D.
• eager to learn – the most education oriented generation in the history. they don’t feel shamed about asking, they are always looking for a mentor.
• adaptable – this is another level of intelligence quickly integrating in any various environments.
• techno – all their lives are technology driven.
• efficient – they reach the proposed goal.
• tolerant – multicultural, multisocial, interracial, …
• committed – if they really want something they work for it on 100%.
• money – is ok, immediately taken, but it is not everything.
• DIY – I can do on my own.

The New Moral Canon — Reconstructing Tomorrow What Post-Modernism Totally Deconstructed Today

There is no more “good” or “bad”, “allowed” or not “allowed”, “real” or “unreal”, “inside” or “outside”, metaprogramms like “polite”, “trust”, “prudence”, “thruth”, “gratitude”, “patience” are all recycled bin … since all moral values were deconstructed the newly constructed values by the Y Generation will be adapted to the new world order:

Asymmetry,

Photo by Ride My Pony

as a result of deconstructing “archaeological” power structures like we know today from businesses (Napster vs. Music Industry, RyanAir vs. Airlines Industry, Skype vs. Telcos, 2006 Peace Nobel Prize Winner vs. banking systems) and politics (“terror” vs. U.S.A) will be a major driving force understood and applied in all areas of the world.

This is a strong building value, a true democratic force (in Noam Chomsky’s way) which restores the balance between superpowers and masses. And it is running on the laws of evolution in all aspects (see my post about various evolution systems here) therefore no force can stop it.

Sensational,

Photo by Suzanna

in positive sense will be the key ingredient for Gen Y discovering and creating the world. Today sensational is what you see on TV or in theatre, read in newspapers — mass culture. Tomorrow it will be the sensation of adding a new value to the fully deconstructed world. Today’s mass culture will enter in obscurity, tomorrow’s culture is built by Gen Y individuals in a DIY fashion.

Distinction: Multitasking vs. Schizophrenia

Photo by Simon Pais

is another major change of tomorrow. The logorrhea of ubiquitous information flow today produces anarchy and even schizoids who are not able to open their minds enough to perceive the knowledge from information. The next generation however will be able to switch, in a healthy way between the racks of their brains and put correctly the knowledge where it belongs.

They will be able to distinguish fake from truth via their bullshit detector.

Self Confidence,

Photo by noqontrol

powered by the scepticism of the new generation, is due to the disappearance of various dominant belief systems as they exists today. There will be no religions, scientific smoking mirrors and cultural misbeliefs, taboos because your kids will learn to correctly appreciate themselves, to gain confidence in Self and Spirit when figuring out the laws in a deconstructed world. This is the Spirit over Chaos.

Respect

Photo by maxw

as a sign of appreciation mostly narrowed toward connectors and opinion leaders, not toward consumer goods or untouchable cultural, political, or even scientific personalities. The new generation will live in deconstructed social groups, subcultures and tribes with a heavy local presence but spanning globally as a product of globlocalism. Respect will be a closed value, rewarding only who you really know and really gives you back real stuff.

Humanism,

Photo by di notte note

as opposite to transhumanism will be a key universal value for all. If autoevolution, as a technology which according to Paul Virilio always has serious drawbacks, will show its real face many Gen Y-ers will question the direction thrown by their ancients. On the other hand, they will have to face the global aging of population where their “old” beloved will be helpless.

It’s not easy to describe Lem, to summarise his heritage to the world. But one thing is sure: he was a visionary strategist and a scholar spanning over multiple fields of science. And he was genuine in all his life. I put aside John v. Neumann in all aspects. And there is an interesting quote about Neumann, according to Ede Teller father of the atomic bomb: “Scientists are able to prove inside their field of expertise, Neumann can prove anything“.

Based on Lem’s works describing the future, in the following posts I’ll talk about those future trends which will become reality for sure.

Basics

• The world is changing faster than we can imagine.
• The moral canon has completely disappeared, there are no more “taboos” and moral considerations about what we should do, and how we should do. We live in the era of total freedom, whatever this means.

The following ideas might sound very critical due to these basics, especially due to the inexistence of morals. However the new Generation Y will construct also positive values from the following aspects.

Politics

• The world is over hyped due to cold war. From this grandiosity we should step back to earth.
• Asymmetry is the new world order: small is taking over the huge, and in the same time huge is getting bigger by taking over smaller. (terror vs. globalisation)
• Masses are taking control over their lives of consummation (polls and rating rules media & politics) and politics takes over masses through control of freedom (tight security, no more human rights).

Photo by noqontrol

Culture

• This is the end of the high culture. Only pop culture matters.
• There is full freedom, there are no more moral obstacles and considerations. Sensational is the basic value without any morals.
• The overall presence of information overflow, the logorrhea of information introduces anarchy.
• Creative people are crazy, schizophrenic, absurd, and shocking without having enough lived experiences to serve as background for really valuable creations.
• In arts the next paradigm is reincarnational postmodernims: I’ll reborn to destroy more.

Photo by noqontrol

Civil Society

• Emotional over rational.
• Earth is overpopulated and resources are running out.
• It is very common the Bad wins and the Good is always a looser. No more Tom & Jerry …
• Is driven completely by the media (old school media: TV, radio, newspapers, … and new school media: internet, mobile).

Science & Technology

• Energy: Oil and uranium is running out; we might have luck with the revisited cold fusion.
• Nature: Despite any technological advancement we are always vulnerable by supreme forces.
• Speed: Using the words of Paul Virilio, due to this era of high speed we are living the “aesthetics of disappearance“. According to Lem, we are the latest reliqvium of the uncivilised nature.
• Universe: is just an illusion: an illegal loan with no cover. The Cosmos exists on an unlimited credit.
• Evolution: is non-linear but random.
• Scientists: There are lots of magicians and charlatans masked scientists; there are no more polyhistors and polymaths; the space of inventions is limited for a person, we are repeating themselves independently from others — everything will become a pseudo-plagiarism.
• God and Illumination: we have a system (the limbic system in the human brain) relating ourselves to the Everything; Illumination is based on admiration and respect, it is Dostoevsky’s “touch of God”, reachable during meditating yourself into deep silence, or using hallucinogenic drugs. However all these can be bought using Prof. Persinger’s Transcanial Simulator.
• Genesis: procreation and extinction are strongly related. Any cosmic holocaust is followed by biological innovation/evolution of life.
• Artificial Intelligence: the border between natural and artificial will disappear. There will be an electronic brain and soul not distinguishable from the original.

Information and Communication Technology

• The Information Market is crucial for the biggest capitalists and corporations.
• Information becomes genital, fully sexualised: “everything that would serve humanity turned to be a strangehold of restrictions“.
• Ubiquity is exponential power.
• It is more difficult to distinct truth from fake. Information leads to paranoia.
• Internet has a Marxist/communist aspect: information & knowledge as individual property goes to service providers, corporations.
• The American Dream is replaced by Virtual Reality.

Biotechnology, Genetics

• The strapline is “You can do better than nature” (James Young of MedImmune) which leads to autoevolution.
• Genetics is a pure market product.
• In 10 years no one can recognise a genetically pimped sportsman.
• Patenting human genes reintroduces slavery.
• Molecular and quantum biology is to watch.
• Humans are nothing without culture (a child born outside culture cannot talk) — and nobody takes into consideration the cultural aspect of cloning humans.
• Homo sapiens is the latest specie of the natural evolution.

So far now, in the last 8 posts we put the basics of a new canon: a new way of thinking, a completely new belief system about ourselves and the worlds around us. These posts were built on scientific background and glued by a strong personal flavor – I’m not a scientist but a free writer.

I.

In Introduction we made a strong assignment for a totally simple world view: there is you and several worlds around you. The level of perception about worlds is assured by interfaces.

You are everything, you are able to know and live the entire Universe.

Interfaces and worlds are infinite. Western civilisation is trying to discover all existing interfaces to know the Universe, Easterners have a nice trick to shorten the path of cognition. They eliminate all interfaces and based on quantum physics law they got it all immediatelly. (When Quantum Theory Meets Eastern Philosophy)

II.

Later, at a next level we deepen the above theory by talking about Identity and Belief Systems. It is important to know that you are a programmable biocomputer, your identity can be programmed and re-programmed. Your identity interfaces the worlds through various belief systems defined by your cultural education.

Again we discuss separately Western and Eastern societies as opposites in defining belief systems: Westerners are ruled by the principle of guilt Easterners by shame. (Belief Systems in Contrast: The Guilt vs. The Shame in Dying vs. Reincarnation)

Photo by ~Aphrodite

The different perception of time is the key defining these basic belief systems: West plays a game against time, East have a broader acceptance. However, again, western science has proofs all games in which time is a factor cannot be won. (The Story of the Time and the Surreal Numbers)

III.

Digging more into the subject, we see that worlds have a common structure: they have a basic and universal principle (in our case the balance, equilibrium) adding value (energy, in our case) to the infrastructure (the world as is) and making living possible through evolution. (The General Structure of a World. Life)

Moving forward, based on the above facts, we see there is a hidden world behind the scenes. Spirit, which is inside, linked to identity fights over outside, which is the chaos. By the principle of equilibrium the integral spirit can rule above the chaos. (The Visible and Invisible. Spirit Over Chaos)

IV.

Coming more closer, studying various forms of evolution (Evolution Systems) and understanding better metaprogramming (Metaprogramming Your Identities) we can see not all evolution frameworks (biological, cultural and capital) are equally dominating our existence. Capital is the most powerful influencing through meme spreading the culture (see in action @ www.theyrule.net), and in the following years even our biological evolution through phenomenas like transhumanism and singularity.

It seems both the visible and invisible (The Visible and Invisible. Spirit Over Chaos) are run by a very simple mechanism, the evolution.

Evolution is a framework where entities ‘living’ inside the system are capable of reproduction, to copy themselves to form new entities. There are very well defined rules of what can be considered an evolution system discussed later in a separate post.

Here we look at the known evolution systems today, as an introduction.

Biological evolution, through genes is very common to us. This is an evolution system where biologically living organisms found in nature are reproducing to maintain their species.

There is another system called the evolution of thoughts, through memes. It is well known but maybe a little bit unfamiliar for some, who can read more about in Wikipedia. Memes are ideas and concepts living in our mind, they are intellectual entities based on we, humans gather knowledge and communicate. Not everything we have in our brains as knowledge and information is a meme, but the most important part of our perception, ideas and thoughts, identity and belief systems, are made by memes. When we want to communicate something really interesting, a really new concept we use memes to transmit our messages. Interesting thoughts which are immediately stored in our knowledge system are also memes.

Since genes form the biological evolution system, memes do form the cultural evolution. Culture is the integral part of our living — we are built from nature and nurture. A child grown outside culture won’t talk and understand words and cannot be considered part of our civilisation.
The term mon(e) probably is less known than genes and memes. It was invented by Mérö László a Hungarian scientist in his book “The Living Money” (2004, no English translation yet) and, as genes and memes, mon(e)s are the basic mechanisms of the evolution of capital.

Mérö, one of Hungary’s most brilliant minds today (and Hungary has 18 Nobel Prize winners for a population of 10 millions) has an interdisciplinary academic curriculum vitae, and in the same time he is an entrepreneur too.

He demonstrates in his book the nature of the capital (do not confound with money which is only an instance of the capital) is 100% similar to the nature of the biological and mental evolution, and introduces the term of capital evolution. His main idea is that mon(e)s — the basic factor in the evolution of the capital as genes and memes are in other evolution systems — are capable to reproduce as living organisms and thoughts do, forming sophisticated systems like the genes in biology and memes in mind. Let’s call mon(e)s living organisms corporations.

So far we have three systems of evolution, who forms the human race (biological evolution), culture (evolution of thoughts) and capitalism (evolution of capital).

If we take a closer look on these, we can affirm in today’s Western civilisation the dominant evolution system is capitalism. Corporations through meme manipulation (mass media — see theyrule.net ) are forming our culture of consummation. Capitalism through financing the majority of scientific research & development projects (nanotechnology, robotics, artificial intelligence, …) exclusively according to their interests, are moving our world towards singularity and transhumanism — where our biological existence will be definitively questioned. In this way they are ruling both our biological evolution.

In this context it is very actual to analyse the past issues posted in this blog.

John C. Lilly, one of the most famous scientists of the last century was both a pioneer in researching Reality and in the same time an accepted savant of our times. Friend with physicist Nobel Prize winner Richard Feynman, philosopher Buckminster Fuller and Aldous Huxley, US Marine’s interspecies communication expert, and, in the same time a completely mad scientist experimenting himself with LSD and bringing to surface the real nature of Reality — he was the model of the genuine genius brave enough to open totally new horizons without being ridiculed by today’s governing scientific casts.

You have to read his book “Programming and Metaprogramming the Human Biocomputer” (1968 !!!) to gain a complete insight into the reality. Based on empirical research he describes his adventures in the unreal, ie. the real, where he made several contacts with other livings, life forms and managed to establish interspecies communication with unimaginable creatures.

One thing is sure based on his research and experiences — and many other people, not scientists but normal humans like us experienced the same –: we are not alone, but looking for others is a look inside not into the stars and the Universe. There are no UFOs.
And another thing is pretty sure: we are like computers running programs; we have a hardware, our biological structure, an operating system guarding over our needs for everyday living, and the applications running inside us who form our identity thus our belief systems. And everything is re-programmable.

Lilly used to reprogram his applications, its identity; there are others who already are able to rebuild also their hardware, their biological mainframe at molecular level (on a future post more details coming).

Briefing only on the identity, I have the following idea: there are other forms of life, not wired into our everyday world. They are, let’s call spiritual life forms, based on my previous post The Visible and Invisible, Spirit over Chaos.

Photo by daemona

Spiritual life forms are the real rulers of the world. Every human has an identity, a set of programs based on which we are acting, thinking and perceiving our world. These programs are controlling our mind. We are like actors in a theater, in a play where the spiritual life forms are in charge.

More broadly speaking, there are other spiritual life forms who are living in the same planet as we do, but in an invisible way: their life space is our inside, our mind and soul. Anger, faith, love, greed, respect, dominance, partnership, love — all of them are spiritual life forms, our metaprograms running inside us. And as a major difference to humans — they are not individuals like us, they are distributed like a social network. One spiritual life form can be hosted by many human individuals in the same time. And a human can host many spiritual life forms in the same time.

At the beginning, in childhood we are almost empty, learning to use the environment where we live by discovering our basic sensors. Through education, experience and knowledge gathering — but mostly by experiencing and education — we are starting to host metaprograms inside us. Based on the circumstances of our later life, in adulthood, these metaprograms may vary. Later, after becoming totally ‘conscious’ we have a better decision what kind of metaprograms, spiritual life forms to host. We can even re-program ourselves anytime we want.

From this perspective I can understand where the key to rule masses lies: in thought manipulation, exactly what the media does (and in ancient times the religion did) with us. Through meme spreading we are unconsciously re-programmed. The brain wash has a goal, a well defined strategy. Many of us probably knows, the meme of “single” — a highly emancipated woman focusing mostly on career thus consummation (in 2006 60% of New York City’s population is made by singles, women we know from “The Sex and the City” serial) — was intentionally developed by Richard Mellon Scaife in almost 20 years of heavy think-tanking on political and economical policies on public.
Probably today one of the strongest spiritual life forms ruling our Western civilisation are greed and cruelty. Sometimes masked well behind a religious belief system and institutions — capitalism and politics.

These heavy power spiritual life forms can do extraordinary things: they can rule evolution, they can have their own evolution system through generations and generations. And it seems, the evolution system of the capital — based on greed and cruelty — today dominates the other evolutions systems like biology and culture. Details in the following post.

Moving from the General Structures of a World to the structure of our world, I have the following idea.

By the nature of the duality and equilibrium, if we have a visible world, as we know from our everyday lives, there must be an invisible world which is in equilibrium with the visible.

Photo by bekon.

This is the fight of the spirit the invisible, over the chaos the visible. Consuming energy to produce and get back energy.
The expansion of the chaos, our world is measurable by energy. In fact all our world is ruled by energy: who has more energy and is able to use it, reproduce it, rules the world.

The most important thing here is to keep the balance between producing and consuming energy. One can consume energy without producing enough new sources of energy. One can produce energy without getting back enough energy, to maintain the balance. And the world is using its basic rule of equilibrium, which does not regard any other rules, not even the time. If somebody consumes too much energy somebody else must produce too much energy to maintain the omnipresent balance.
Spirit is the key issue here. In which spirit you are dealing with the energy. Only spirit has the capacity to rule upon the chaos on long term. Spirit is integrity.

The world did not changed at all in terms of rulers, who consume more energy than they produce, and masses of ruled, who produce much more energy than they get back. In history there were many revolutions when the access to energy were redistributed equally between ruled and rulers. But in all cases, in very short term new rulers were born and masses of ruled were created. In all cases the spirit of the masses was repressed by rulers, by hiding the law of equilibrium behind the more and more sophisticated smoking glasses of power showing the shining of the visible, and, through belief systems shading the importance of the inner, the invisible.

However spirit has a strong ally, the collective unconsciousness. And in a regular basis produces Big Human Spirits (artists, writers, thinkers, philosophers, scientists, even social rulers – I avoided using the term politicians) who modify the equilibrium taking back the hope from the chaos and moving the world towards new changes.

Photo by Tous les noms sont déjà pris… pfff…

I’m wondering when the paradigm “mundus vult decipi, ergo decipatur” (the world need to be deceived, so will be deceived) will shift to a new chapter, when the collective spirit won’t let rulers to inbalance such a nasty way the equilibrium.

There never will be an optimal balance. Our duty is to lower the distance between energy vampires and animal-like working hordes.

In previous posts I’ve been speculating about the general structure of the universe (What Are You?, The Object –> Observation –> Observer Process) and now I’ll point out my beliefs about the structure of a world, a general structure which can apply to any worlds.

Origo: The Principle of Nothing

Current mainstream belief systems (scientific and religious) all have a common starting point when talking about the origins of the world. All of them are stating at the beginning there was nothing, and during time the nothing started to divide into parts and then to more parts (The Big Boom, The Heaven and Earth, etc.) thus today we are living in a continuous expansion of our world.

I don’t want to invent another starting point, this is good enough, because in this post the existence of an origo and mostly its nature does not have a major importance.

Following the Object –> Observation –> Observer model, it is correct to assume origo is the initial state of the Object, the Object itself in superposition.

Duality: The Principle of Balance

Any Object has an infinite number of attributes. If has an attribute of “good” then probably exists, between other similar attributes like “better”, “worst”, etc., a totally opposite attribute: “bad“.

The important aspect of this duality is the balance, the equilibrium. The set of all attributes of the Object are forming the whole, the everything. Attributes of the whole are in balance in the sense if an attribute exists other attributes must exists to form the whole. If there is an attribute which has no opposite the whole cannot be a whole.

This is the balance which is omnipresent everywhere in the world. The balance assures the infinite expandability of the world, of the origo. If you discover a new attribute you can be sure there are other, even opposite attributes too.

The first ever belief system we know about was created by the Sumerian civilisation in the mid 4th millennium BC. They say the origo was divided between Heaven (An, the God of Heaven) and Earth (Enki, the God of Water and Earth) and the relation between them was established, sustained by the Air (Enlil, the God of Air and Storms) .

All of these attributes are in balance, earth being the opposite of heaven.

From another point of view, we can say one of the attributes of the origo is the balance. If there is a balance, there must be at least two different things between a balance can exist. In this way the origo is divided by a rule (balance) into at least two other attributes assuring expandability, this being the origin of evolution.

Energy: The Principle of Value

An infrastructure (the attributes of origo, the heaven and earth) equipped with a basic governing rule (the law of balance and expansion) is not yet complete. If there is no value associated to this infrastructure we cannot appreciate its benefits. There are many things out there without value, even if we know about their existence. They are not interesting yet, they remain invisible for our purposes.

We can say only that part of the world is interesting to us which is known, imaginable, reachable — towards we can put efforts to realise, achieve, equip with value. Once something discovered automatically gets value.

Energy is the reward of the spirit ruling over chaos, the value of the infrastructure, the resource of the world.

Energy is the law of equilibrium, the cohesion force between the attributes of the origo, of the origin, and, in the same way an entity which assures its expansion to the infinite chaos.

Photo by: morgana

Summarising, there is an infrastructure supporting our world by assuring infinity. And there is a basic value, the energy, making this infrastructure living. Once there is possibility to expansion rewardable by values evolution systems can take control over the whole.

Surreal numbers (a nice introduction for maths here, and wikipedia for the humans here) are the sweetest story of everything, especially of time.

Photo by: Ride My Pony

Introduced by the father of programming Prof. Donald E. Knuth in his book “Surreal Numbers: How Two Ex-Students Turned on to Pure Mathematics and Found Total Happiness” (1974) and inspired by the most famous game humans ever invented, the go, this theory explains the birth of the numbers by simple examples, through mechanisms of reproduction and inheritance, somewhat like a sterile evolution.

The theory says numbers have fathers and mothers, and every number can have children who, again, can be a father or a mother. This simple method of construction has so much underlying potential, provided by reproduction, that with surreal numbers we can construct, in a demonstrated way more than a number of infinite numbers, and make operations with them. And this theory needs no axioms at all, it’s 100% pure as nature where everything is built from scratch, without any dogmas and conventions as prerequisites.

Surreal numbers were introduced in Game Theory by John Horton Conway and together with pseudo numbers (a similar theory to surreal numbers) he started to analyse what are those situations in a game when it can be easily predicted when a player will win, or especially loose, in maximum two steps.

And here we can find an interesting relation: it is demonstrated the situation when any of the players who will move will loose, and, the situation when the first player who moves will loose are identical, equivalent.

And there comes the speculation, based on the feeling I’ve got reading through this beautiful world of surreal numbers built by time through reproduction like everything in our lives (at the end of the document, in the last paragraph you can find this theorem) : in games, where time is a factor does not matter which player starts moving first, anyway will loose.

You can’t defeat time, you can’t win a game if there is a time factor in. Time has its own rules above things, about humans. You have to accept it, you can’t run against time. You must play games where the time has no major role, where the winning criterias are others not influenced by time.

Based on my previous post I can affirm Eastern and Western civilisations has a completelly different, even opposite approach to discover the ultimate truth about the world.

Stanislaw Lem, in his genuine & genial work “His Master’s Voice” talks about the religion as the fundamental basis of civilisations.

Until now religion was the most fundamental belief system governing the world, the most complex canon humans ever built to rule upon masses. Since the era of the free access to the information (internet) and due to the new belief systems propagated to masses (“more is not enough”) via mass media (TV and newspapers, tabloids) the religion, as is, started to decline and sink back to the chaos. It has no more spirit to rule upon the world.

Back to Lem, his theory is the following:

Western civilisations are born upon — all their Belief Systems are governed by — the religions of Judaism and Christianism, whose basic axiom or dogma is the guilt. This is the basic principle governing our world, defining all of our other belief systems. According to this rule we were born guilty, we are nothing but sinners suffering from the primal sin of Adam and Eve, therefore our entire identity is trapped into redressing this nasty situation.
Eastern civilisations, on the other hand are governed by the shame, which is totally different, is in major contrast with the guilt. In West everybody is guilty by nature, in East the worst can happen to a human is just a social manner.

Since in West a guilty person must to do penance and it is punished — even to death, in East shamed persons must meditate upon their wrongdoings and present by acts — good-doings — their appologies towards the society.

These completelly different approaches towards the basic Belief System marks two different societies. In West it is accepted to get a punishment — to die, over all. In East you can always have a second chance — by reincarnation.

Western society accepts a Supreme Punisher (God, Evil, technology singularity) when the Eastern society believes things can become cool.

However, the common hidden pattern in these basic Belief Systems is the perception of time. Since in West the Final Punishment is unavoidable so time becomes the Ultimate Value, in East time has no effect on your soul spanning over multiple lives.

Westeners take part in games where time plays a role, Easterns are neglecting the notion of time through reincarnation. And, yet another Western scientific theorem proves time is deadly serious. In the next post …
