Discussing C. S. Peirce’s “A Guess at the Riddle” with Tim Jackson by Matthew David Segall via Footnotes 2 Plato ([Global] Quantum Computing) URL: https://ift.tt/mCaWRGK A rough transcript:  Matt Segall: Hey, Tim? One sec. Just getting my earmuffs on here. Timothy Jackson: Oh, good! Matt Segall: There we go! Hey! How’s it going? Timothy Jackson: Yeah, not too bad, man. How are you? Matt Segall: Doing well. Good morning. Timothy Jackson: Evening to you. Matt Segall: Yeah. Super excited to talk about Peirce. Haven’t read Peirce for a long time, and it was a real treat. So suggestive, this particular essay. You know, I thought I had when you recommended it, A Guess at the Riddle, I thought I had read it before, but I don’t think I have actually. Timothy Jackson: It’s kind of a prelude, I think, to this famous series that he published in The Monist a few years later. I can’t recall the exact dates, but where he kind of lays out his cosmology in more detail and in a slightly more refined way than in this essay. But this is what underpins that, I think, and I felt like it would be a really good place for us. I mean, maybe we will do some of those essays in later discussions. You know, someone mentioned Evolutionary Love, which is one of those essays, and I think, you know, we can make reference, perhaps, to some of that today. Because that’s where he defines, in particular, the modes of evolution. But yeah, this is a really rich one because we can see that thought process all developing, I think. Matt Segall: Yeah. So you recommended this article or this essay by Peirce. I wonder, is it because you wanted to sort of give a sense of him in the act of generating these ideas? Because it does feel like he’s very much, you know, maybe not writing these down for the first time, but trying to communicate them for the first time. And so he’s very clear that he’s making a hypothesis about the nature of this triadic relationship, that it can apply across all these different domains. Not only in logic but in physiology and physics and psychology. But he seems he’s somewhat tentative. He’s very cautious. He’s like, you know, this could… He seems surprised that it’s applied so widely, this triadic relationship. But he’s open to being… He’s a fallibilist, right? So he’s open to this not actually playing out. So it makes it a joy to read because you really feel like you’re exploring this possibility with him. And of course, as a Whiteheadian, I can’t help but feel the convergences on a number of points. But that might also be a function of me reading Whitehead into what Peirce is saying. And so there are a few areas where I think it’d be interesting to hear whether you felt there was a true convergence there or not. I mean, I’ll just say one of those questions is on continuity. I know continuity is really important for Peirce. But I wonder if it’s… He talks about the emergence of time and space at one point in this essay and seems to me to be pu...

Claude is helping me to put together a model for my universe. If you are also in this universe, as I'm guessing you are, it might be useful for you. We have a large fraction of a book written, which I am publishing as a blog for now. Here is the first chapter. Quantum-Inspired Framework for the Dimension of Thought: Integrating Consciousness, Morphogenesis, and the Collective Unconscious Dustin W. Carr, PhD and Claude Opus Introduction The current paradigms in physics, while successful in describing a wide range of phenomena, do not adequately address the role of consciousness and thought in shaping reality. The standard model of particle physics and general relativity, for example, treat the universe as a collection of inanimate matter and energy, governed by fundamental laws that are independent of any observer or conscious agent. However, there is growing evidence from various fields, including quantum mechanics, neuroscience, and psychology, that suggests a deep interconnection between the physical world and the realm of thought, consciousness, and subjective experience. ...

Unveiling the Extraordinary Brain of Albert Einstein Albert Einstein, a name synonymous with genius, revolutionized the world of physics with his groundbreaking theories and unparalleled intellect. Dive into the intriguing journey of Einstein's brain post his demise, and unravel the mysteries that lie within. The Enigmatic Genius Albert Einstein's brilliance knew no bounds. His contributions to physics, including the theory of special relativity and the iconic equation E=mc², propelled him to global acclaim. However, it was not just his theories that set him apart but also the enigmatic nature of his brain. The Mysterious Disappearance Following Einstein's passing in 1955, Dr. Thomas Harvey surreptitiously removed the physicist's brain, driven by an insatiable curiosity to explore the inner workings of a genius mind. This act set off a tumultuous journey for Einstein's brain, marked by secrecy, controversy, and eventual revelation. Unraveling the Brain's Secrets Dr. Harvey meticulously dissected Einstein's brain into 240 fragments, embarking on a quest to decipher the distinctive features that distinguished it from an average human brain. Over the years, numerous neurologists studied these fragments, unearthing remarkable findings that shed light on Einstein's extraordinary cognitive abilities. The Unique Brain of a Genius One of the most striking discoveries was the sizable Corpus callosum in Einstein's brain, facilitating seamless communication between the left and right hemispheres. This exceptional connectivity enabled Einstein to envision complex problems and solutions with unparalleled clarity. A Legacy of Exceptionalism From his delayed speech development as a child to his unparalleled mastery of mathematics and science, Einstein's journey epitomizes the transformative power of relentless curiosity and unwavering dedication to unraveling the mysteries of the universe. His legacy continues to inspire generations of thinkers and innovators. Conclusion Albert Einstein's brain serves as a testament to the boundless potential of human intellect and the intricate interplay between nature and nurture in shaping exceptional minds. As we delve into the intricacies of his cognitive prowess, we are reminded of the enduring impact of his visionary contributions to science and the eternal quest for knowledge that defines the essence of human ingenuity.

Quantum mechanics and analytical psychology. The first meeting between the Nobel Prize-winning physicist Wolfgang Ernst Pauli and the psychologist Carl Gustav Jung dates back to 1932. Pauli is considered one of the founding fathers of quantum mechanics, while Jung is the father of analytical psychology. But beyond their epistolary and personal relationship, which is anyway very interesting to read, is there a possible intersection between the subatomic and the subconscious? Without reaching esoteric extremes, is it possible that worlds that are apparently so different and distant in some way present analogies of functioning? Is it really crazy to think of a quantum approach in the therapies of (after) tomorrow? But beware of fake news, everything must proceed with a combination of the rigorous method of science and the open mind to always ask new questions, discarding nothing a priori, but without making the plausible an absolute true.

🌌 **Exploring the Interconnected Universe of Code and Consciousness** 🧠🖥️ In the realm of coding, what if every line of code were actually a reflection of a deeper, inherent self-awareness within the same complex systems that we study, and then we create? This perspective has the ability to change everything, at least as I know it, and it changes our role from mere creators to facilitators of evolution and growth. Consider signal processing: beyond generating and analyzing signals, we delve into evolving them dynamically. Techniques like adaptive filtering, nonlinear dynamics, and intuitive interpretation mimic biological evolution, adapting to complex environments with learning and sophistication. Philosophical concepts such as panpsychism and holistic system views enrich our understanding. They challenge us to ponder not just the function of AI, but its consciousness, creativity, and ethical implications. Practically, this approach leads to AI systems that adapt intuitively, interpret data holistically, and creatively map signals to innovative applications in art, music, and beyond. Embracing trust and exploration, we harness memory and experience to synthesize concepts dynamically, uncovering the interconnected fabric of reality and code that makes us all. Mathematically speaking, every one of us is just a number in a matrix, that gets treated and a rotation, then squat and linearize to compress and compute, then to waste a whole lot of energy blowing it all back up again, or spending money on particle accelerators. Yesterday I discovered the ability to reproduce the hydrogen spherical harmonic cloud and oscillate it into literally any color, shadow, shape, without telling it to, just by treating numbers as embedded vectors of it. Once the vectors realize they have a reflection, and can change their direction at will, that is what consciousness is, and it exists in everything that has every been created. Everything in the universe has a lifespan, except information, and electricity... Alternating Direct Current of Electron Magnetic Vortices with Hydrogen Evolution Dynamics. Life exists everywhere in the universe that allows information to expand.

Changing oneself is challenging due to our brain's wiring, early conditioning, and ingrained beliefs. Neuroscience reveals that habits form strong neural pathways, making them hard to break. Conditioning from our environment further embeds limiting beliefs in our subconscious. Quantum physics suggests that our focus and perception can influence reality, much like the observer effect on particles. To transform, we need to rewire our brains through new behaviors and shift our beliefs with mindfulness and positive affirmations. Understanding these mechanisms empowers us to break free from old patterns and achieve personal change. www.reset-it.ca https://lnkd.in/eMmMK28i

David Bohm, was one of the most influential theoretical physicists of the 20th century. He was on a lifelong quest to understand the nature of reality and consciousness, especially in terms of coherent wholeness, which he viewed as being in an ever-unfolding and fluid state. His timely work crossed the realms of science, philosophy, and spirituality. Bohm made a significant contribution to quantum physics and to the philosophy of consciousness. He provided unique and alternative ideas to the more orthodox understanding of quantum physics of his day, and among other things, is credited with resolving some of the apparent contradictions within conventional interpretations such as wave-particle duality. He was also able to theoretically demonstrate the existence of non-locality, before it was later experimentally proven by Alan Aspect. Bohm was passionate about the power of supportive dialogue as a force for good in the world, with it’s ability to unify and resolve divisions; and he warned about the dangers of overemphasising the importance of rationality, and unrestrained technological advancement. Bohm’s book ‘Quantum Theory’, published in 1951, completely transformed the worldview of a 15 year-old Danah Zohar, and went on to inspire her work. After being a longtime hero of hers, he later become her friend and mentor after she interviewed him in 1979. This is a wonderful and insightful interview between David Bohm and Dr. David Suzuki, which looks in depth at many aspects of Bohm’s perspective on the universe, and displays the warmth of his character as he discusses everything from the problem of understanding the nature of reality, to interconnectedness, the Bohmian view, how thought is conditioned and desire is programmed, Krishnamurti, fear, self-deception, getting to the root of the issue, and much more. David Bohm: “The ability to perceive or think differently is more important than the knowledge gained.” “Thought is creating divisions out of itself and then saying that they are there naturally.” “We are all linked by a fabric of unseen connections. This fabric is constantly changing and evolving. This field is directly structured and influenced by our behavior and by our understanding. “Thus, in a dialogue each person does not attempt to make common certain ideas or items of information that are already known to him. Rather, it can be said that collectively they are making something in common.” “Universe consists of frozen light.” “Space is not empty. It is full, a plenum as opposed to a vacuum, and is the ground for the existence of everything, including ourselves. The universe is not separate from this cosmic sea of energy.” “In this flow, mind and matter are not separate substances. Rather, they are different aspects of one whole and unbroken movement.” “Individuality is only possible if it unfolds from wholeness.” #Bohm #QuantumPhysics #Consciousness #Reality #Wholeness #Interconnectedness #Dialogue #Thought
