Double Slit Experiment Explained

I have been thinking a lot lately about quantum mechanics and how i can use animation to explain how this stuff works within my LifeOS model. The other day i ran across this video series which does just that, up to a point.

http://www.holographicuniverseworkshops.com/partone.html

It does a really good job of illustrating the basics, with good quotes and descriptions from some of the best thinkers on the subject. If you are not up to speed on quantum/holographic/field model of the Universe, especially the double slit experiment, (in the first half) check out the above video. Or dive right into my explanation.

Naturally we want to look at this from a systems viewpoint. We may think we can isolate a particle to see how it behaves, but it is always part of a larger system.

There are two things you must know to have this experiment make perfect sense. First, the wave function represents the particle’s connection to the larger holographic system. It is in holographic synchronization with that system. Secondly, that system is pure quantum information processing that uses particles as dynamic memory units(Qbits).

When a single particle is fired at the double slit, it’s internal wave function keeps it functioning as a memory unit in the larger system, in phase as if accompanied by  a flood of particles. This is known as quatum entanglement. So the wave the particle is following is from it’s internal movement and not it’s trip through the slits.

When it is observed it changes from a memory to input mode, collapsing it’s connection as a bit of memory and inputs the system with the details of it’s interaction with a sensing device.

For us to understand how observation can affect a particle we just have to look at the next higher order of the system process. We are used to thinking of observation as a one way street: light bounces off something, is collected by our optical gear and projected in our brain. In the systems view we look at how observation works for an environment teeming with mobile creatures. At this level observation is part of a dynamic interactive process that involves the environment and all of our senses. We move through the environment, touching, disturbing, picking, eating, constantly observing our actions and their effect on the environment. The environment is made up of a variety of sensing devices feeding into the same system.

To observe is to interact.

Another way to state this is that particles are not only objects, but bits of memory, that contain reports on the status of their particiation in the larger process. Although a particle may seem to exist as a solid thing, it is fully involved in a process. That process is the wave action of a vibrational universe. It is inherent in the particle by way of quantum entanglement. To mess with that status reporting particle is to kick it out of the process. It can then shoot through one slit as an independent particle, reporting back to the system it’s new trajectory.

The other amazing anomaly the materialistic view of matter gives us is that particles pop in and out of existence. This flashing in and out of material existence is the fundamental oscillation of the process. That is  comparing the internal with the external. It is the cycle of the Qbit checking it’s internal memory against the external. It is changing back and forth from pure information to matter, as it’s status is updated.

I’m working on some animations, but would love to hear some feedback from you folks. I know some of you are quite knowledgeable on this subject.

cheers,

The Fractal Structure of Time

Time manifests as a fractal structure. The smallest unit of time is also the smallest unit of matter. Every atom has a frequency, a cyclic tone that represents one unit of time. Each cycle or unit of time takes input compares it to memory and outputs the result. This memory is not a static pattern, but is dynamic, vibrating in sync with the environmental variables. If the pattern of the input matches the pattern stored in memory, the field doesn’t react, it continues to vibrate normally, but if the input doesn’t match what is anticipated by memory, a perturbence is created in the field. Like a stone pitched in a pond, the waves spread out through the system, carrying information about the mismatch to all points. Not only is the location of the mismatch clearly stated by the arc of the wave, but the “shape” of the mismatch is carried by the shape of the wave. In this way, the whole keeps track of its units in real time.

What makes time a fractal is that this cycle of input, comparison and output is repeated throughout biological systems, regardless of scale or implementation. All cells, organs, creatures, social organizations and ecosystems, use this fundamental process to interact with their environment. The fundamental vibrations are in harmony from atoms all the way up to galaxies and beyond.

Before There Were Forests

Every handful of living topsoil contains more microorganisms than there are human beings on Earth. All those billions of creatures aren’t living isolated existences, but are organized into colonies. That is they are organized into cooperating and communicating networks that share nutrients and information.

These are the ancient ones, the oldest and most stable products of evolution. They were here first, before animals, plants or any multicellular creatures.

These microorganisms represent the primordial intelligence that learns and builds on what it knows about itself, in an organized, purposeful, goal oriented progression. And it starts right here with the tiny creatures that understand information processing, communication networks and symbiosis.

The Jigsaw Puzzle of Life

My sweetheart and i like to do jigsaw puzzles. Putting one together is satisfying on several levels. We have fun.

I get an extra kick out of seeing the pieces as packets of information, also on different levels. The shape of the pieces is information that determines how they fit with their immediate neighbors. On each piece you have bits of information as brush strokes, lines, shapes and color, that also needs to match its neighbors. This is a separate level of information from the shapes of the pieces themselves. Both of these levels pertain to the assembly of the puzzle. When the puzzle is solved, the assembled bits produce a new level of information: the picture. The picture, in turn can produce another level of information by telling a story.

In the jigsaw puzzle we have levels of information woven together to support a system of encrypted data storage.

Atoms are packets of information limited to their connections by their shape. They also carry another level of information in their charges, spins and wave function, variables separate from the molecular shape. These internal variables are connected to externals through the laws of quantum mechanics. It looks to me like data storage with relational links, like a database.

There are infinite levels of information woven into biological systems, each one representing a web of quantum connectivity with its own level of functionality, the levels immediately above and below, and to all levels ever interacted with. It is a living breathing hyper-relational database that acts like it is a super quantum computer solving for the most efficient growth, reproduction and dispersal through adaptation.

That’s my idea of fun. =-)

What to expect

This presentation is based a couple of concepts at odds with some of the basic assumptions of science and religion. The first is that the biosphere as an intelligent entity. What makes it intelligent is that it communicates. The system intakes, processes and distributes information to and from all agents within its system. That relates to the second concept, that evolution is not a random process, but one controlled by intelligent, goal oriented communication.

Once you accept that you and i are agents within an intelligent system, new explanations for the life’s anomalous occurrences present themselves. Once you start to explore those anomalies, armed with this new perspective, a very different picture of human history emerges. It is also a liberating experience to find out that we can communicate with other entities within the system.

What do psychedelic aliens have to do with forests anyway, you may ask? Seems like too many unrelated subjects are being included. Well, you have heard it before, everything is connected to everything else. Herein i will show that it is not merely a romantic metaphor as some would like you to believe, but an overriding property of reality. Exploring the connections between religion, psychedelics, symbiosis in complex adaptive systems and alien encounters, can lead to some interesting revelations.

Besides, we now know for sure that space travel is possible, by both man made vehicles and spores carried by the solar winds, therefore we all may be aliens.

Just as science needs a unified theory to bring together its many disciplines, the rest of us need a unified theory of reality. This one works for me.

Throughout there will be tips on how to expand your natural communication skills. I will give you exercises that you can use to verify my conclusions.

Life is Communication

When we combine the findings in the field of biology with general systems theory we find an unexpected mathematical synchronicity. The formulas that govern the formation of networks in complex systems are the same for the growth of biological systems and our beloved internet. The blood flowing through your veins is following the same fractal power laws as your email. It has taken the smartest people on the planet decades of study, trial and error to figure out how to run a truly complex communications network, but these laws governing the efficient transfer of information have been in use in biological systems all along.

In short, biological systems are constructed as if they are meant to be communication networks. Everything from tree trunks, roots, branches, leaves to coastlines and watersheds is built as if for the transfer information. Some coincidence. If we honor this evidence and look at biological systems as if they function primarily as information processors, a whole new model of reality begins to take shape.

When we look at matter as information stored in physical form, like memory in a computer, the network like construction of biological systems makes perfect sense. Biological systems process and transfer matter/information with great efficiency.

Matter as information is more than bits, it is more dynamic than that, more like strings of bits that have coherence. The information of reality is organized in the form of stories. The physical world is current state of all of the stories being told. Stories aren’t random, but unfold in very predictable ways. Stories follow rules, laws of communication that run through all living systems.

Within this new model many of the claims of the ancients take on new significance, many of the anomalies uncovered by science disappear and a pathway to a truly sustainable future reveals itself. This is the real significance of the Information Age. It is not only that we have learned to use these formulas to build our networks, but that we have found the best model for reality we have yet discovered, and it is virtual.

Great interview! Talk to yer plants and good things happen. =-)

This Path Isn’t for Everyone

This path isn’t for everyone. There those who really fear the forest. They have been brought up to think of Nature as the enemy, to be conquered and managed. To go into the forest is an act of bravery that takes planning, special equipment and most of all, courage. The idea of a benevolent goddess of the forest is foreign or even repulsive to the western warrior mentality. If she exists, she must be fought and beaten, says the warrior. To the mainstream of this industrial/consumer society, She doesn’t exist unless She can be sold for profit. To most environmentalists she is nothing more than a convenient metaphor.

On the other hand, even for the most hard core of the survival of the fittest practitioners, the forest is the only road back. It is the forest goddess, through her plant spirit messengers, that can reconnect lost souls with their source.
