another look at novelty theory
    #23416580 - 07/06/16 10:54 AM (7 years, 6 months ago)

'And I thought of history as a river and eternity as the ocean.'

(So, briefly - why i am posting here in spirituality is because it was spiritual paths that led T.M. to extrapolate this - as i understand it)

'I'm suggesting that the universe is pulled toward a complex attractor that exists ahead of us in time, and that our ever-accelerating speed through the phenomenal world of connectivity and novelty is based on the fact that we are now very, very close to the attractor.'

'First of all, why a descent into novelty rather than an ascent? It was my thing to do as I wanted to do it, and it seemed to me—the way I thought of time was I thought of it like a river. And so I thought of it as flowing toward its lowest level. And I thought of history as a river and Eternity as the ocean. So naturally history flows downhill to reach Eternity. I also like the fact that when the descent in elevation is rapid, the river runs faster, and when the landscape is almost flat, the river broadens out and meanders. So it was to preserve this idea of time as a fluid. The other reason is a mathematical reason. It has to do with the fact that if we have novelty moving downward, then the maximum of novelty is zero.'

'The alternative physics is a physics of light. Light is composed of photons, which have no antiparticle. This means that there is no dualism in the world of light. The conventions of relativity say that time slows down as one approaches the speed of light, but if one tries to imagine the point of view of a thing made of light, one must realize that what is never mentioned is that if one moves at the speed of light there is no time whatsoever. There is an experience of time zero. … The only experience of time that one can have is of a subjective time that is created by one's own mental processes, but in relationship to the Newtonian universe there is no time whatsoever. One exists in eternity, one has become eternal. The universe is aging at a staggering rate all around one in this situation, but that is perceived as a fact of this universe—the way we perceive Newtonian physics as a fact of this universe. One has transited into the eternal mode. One is then apart from the moving image; one exists in the completion of eternity.'

'Suddenly the timewave is fulfilled, and yet the heavens do not fall, and angels don't appear to lift us into paradise. The reason history ends at that date is because after the invention of time travel the notion of a seriality of events ceases to have any meaning. ...We then experience life in a posthistorical atemporal bubble where you not only tell where you live, but when you live.'

'The human neocortex is the most densely ramified and complexified structure in the known universe.'


etc....

Anyway :smile:

Well every instant..is new basically...because you are here as your self..which IS a noticeable constant..which is knowledge of the Self as well..but everything you do is a form of novelty..and then it can be mapped in systems..like nature..a branch grows..we know it will extend..but the nuances of its knots and curves..are always going to be novel..so it is an ordered unbounded..by chaos...or chaos..bounded by order..
