Speaking of the line between virtual and physical instantiation, you guys should look into spinors. I've been tripping on them for days, apparently th...

Helen Keller didn't even have a self until someone prompted her to conceptualize the sense of touch, and she became one of the most eloquent represent...

I think most of the experiences human beings are capable of are usually had in some form, so its rare for a completely unprecedented phenomenon to be ...

As a pleasing interlude, perhaps the Earth's gravity does not pull objects towards its center but rather fails to resist by its outward pressure the g...

The structure of the universe emerges from supradimensional fields that were separated into different spectrums by the astronomical force of the big b...

I'm curious if Buddhist philosophy has something introspective to say about the structure of consciousness in this respect. Seems beyond the Western p...
November 30, 2020 at 22:06
Apologize for getting spiritual, but maybe its possible that the physical substance of consciousness transcends the organic body, a functional complex...

Qualia are just percepts of the mind's experiencing that can be distinguished as particulars. Like "life" or "language", the term is an intrinsically ...

Energy is correlated with frequency and thus wavelength. Energy is also correlated with mass. In an atom, mass is correlated with shape. In visible el...

It seems to me there is an intermediate level in biochemical mechanisms such as entanglement systems within photosynthetic reaction centers, a kind of...

These are facts/presuppositions we can share, and an adequate foundation for research. I think this resolves the issue on an initiating conceptual/hyp...
November 26, 2020 at 23:00
But our presuppositions are based on what we believe to be the facts, so its a matter of how much we are willing to pool into a common discourse. As p...
November 26, 2020 at 22:31
My theory is that qualia are quantum superpositions which rapidly flit in and out of existence as matter moves, so for instance a cloud of gas has som...
November 26, 2020 at 18:41
The pain is to some degree quantum superposition, and that is what "qualia" can refer to. The what it is like is a property of physical matter (maybe ...
November 26, 2020 at 17:41
My nominee: "The reason is that..." Its a bit presumptuous to assume reason is the foundation of existence, don't you think?
November 26, 2020 at 00:20
Should qualify this, I think a place has to be set aside for theorizing unconscious motivation as in psychoanalysis, so a domain of mind exists beyond...
November 25, 2020 at 20:48
The laws of quantum spacetime might be a product of the properties of waves, while physical spacetime as you call it is an emergent property of comple...

I mean instantaneous communication. Block out all the annoying prophesying that comes from all quarters of the presumptuous Earth. Of course how much ...
November 25, 2020 at 06:19
I suppose a mathematical model of the entire universe in terms of energy flow is no more feasible than a mathematical model of the entire universe in ...
November 25, 2020 at 05:03
For all the little Banno buddies who still think we need to argue this til the year 3000, maybe you didn't get it the first time lol Qualia aren't abo...
November 24, 2020 at 20:36
The experiential in this context is metacognition or 'conception' of qualia arising from brain plasticity. This domain is always changing as we acquir...
November 24, 2020 at 14:15
Qualitative consciousness on the macroscale is emergent from material qualia on the nanoscale. Its not a simple ascending pyramid though, top down fac...
November 24, 2020 at 01:59
Most biochemical reactions happen too fast to be accounted for without near instantaneous motion such as in entanglement. Systems of entangled particl...

arf!=meow!=moo! lol
November 24, 2020 at 01:39
you nitwit! lol matter=quantum superposition=qualia
November 24, 2020 at 00:40
I already told you, an intrinsic aspect of quantum superposition in matter is the qualia constituents that contribute to colors, sounds and feels, con...
November 24, 2020 at 00:15
You give an incisive critique. I'm going to try to tinker with my graph model, but keep in mind these are ideas in progress, not a finished product. I...
November 23, 2020 at 21:47
et al Pardon my interjection, but could you guys briefly outline the properties of wave motion? How does the velocity or oscillation of an electron in...
November 22, 2020 at 20:39
All I mean by the concept of evolution in my quote is a convergence of causal vectors we classify as biological. Didn't intend to introduce the baggag...
November 22, 2020 at 15:29
I'd call it transpsychism in a sense because consciousness or qualitative experience can inhere in more types of matter than organic brains, but quali...
November 22, 2020 at 12:21
My opinion is that qualia are a basic property of matter, like shape, size, weight, etc., and they arise from complex combinations of superposition in...
November 22, 2020 at 10:44
That's exactly what experiment-based theorizing in science accomplishes. To see how it figures into my account of relative superposition amongst wavel...
November 21, 2020 at 20:13
Instead of "spaceacceleration" the fifth dimension should be called acceleration density as I said. Thinking of how to graph it and the level of physi...
November 21, 2020 at 19:29
What do you think of the idea that gravity isn't a force pulling mass towards the surface of the planet, but rather consists in gravitational wave int...
November 20, 2020 at 20:10
I was confusing myself at this point, but think I'm finally getting my imagery figured out.
November 20, 2020 at 16:59
Think of a topographical map with waves flowing as peaks and valleys. This is the wavicle architecture of our spacetime universe, the mutating square ...
November 20, 2020 at 02:04
I explained general relativity as a quantum phenomenon of wavicle interactions in my quote. So I should get a Nobel prize!
November 19, 2020 at 12:21
As long as we're talking about credentials or lack thereof, what's your area of expertise? Curious who's lambasting me! It appears you're a mathematic...
November 19, 2020 at 05:01
Busting my balls because I'm not a specialist. Haven't you figured out that philosophers know everything? lol I'm going to be expecting that Nobel pri...
November 19, 2020 at 04:14
Did you even read it? It explains why planets and quantum fields appear to be spheres, and the observations of relativity from a quantum perspective o...
November 19, 2020 at 01:45
I have a quantum theory of relativity based on the concept of acceleration density (the spaceacceleration dimension lol), but its a thought experiment...
November 19, 2020 at 01:28
The equations are drawn from a book by physicist Lee Smolin, he knows what he's talking about lol
November 19, 2020 at 00:38
Challenging to put what is essentially a five dimensional image into words, but its not just a meaningful theory, its the equivalent of Einstein's tho...
November 18, 2020 at 16:42
The theory I presented views nonlocality as approximated by the concept of an infinite wave, but the mathematical/structural cross section that interp...

I think metaphysics is a reifying of schematic architecture as transcendental essence. Kantian Idealism located this architecture in the nature of the...

I think the following addresses all these objections, but of course debate is welcome, that's the whole idea! A housecat, regardless of what it hears ...
October 26, 2020 at 03:40
True, glad you pointed that out, I improved the phrasing. Still all a work in progress. I replaced "chronologicality" with "consecution", I think that...

I think the condition for complex language is detailed perception of the interface between body and environment, also the opportunity to think recreat...

Yeah, it might be hard to read on a mobile device, but if you decide to go for it, we should discuss!
