The Philosophy of Fractals Rick Delmonico the Fractal Nature of Living Systems The Philosophy of Fractals Rick Delmonico The Fractal Nature of Living Systems In the graph shown above. The circle is the full size of the universe. The spiral line is what we see when we look out into space, spiraling back into time to a smaller and smaller universe. Space may be spinning in relationship to time, also notice the golden ratio. It looks as if space/time may have a fractal dimension of 1.618. At the center of the graph is the beginning of time. If you study this model closely, you will notice that space expanded at a rate far greater than the speed of light. Originally drawn in 1997. In the beginning unity. The distinction between the one and the many or inside and outside could be visualized as a M ö bius transformation of a sphere, Klein bottle, or maybe a torus or double torus, expressing itself as one, then two, then three dimensions. There are many opinions, and many clues as to how this might be happening, but nothing conclusive. The geometry and dimensions are some variation of emergent properties, repeated at all scales. Folder of all support documents. Let's say we set up three boxes to isolate two measurable qualities of an electron. If there are two spin geometries, one being a spin about the center axis and the other fluctuating between the center point and the surface of the torus or sphere so that if you isolate the geometry of the center spin in box A and then isolate the other component spin which is fluctuating between the center and the surface in box B you would still have half the remaining orientation being opposite at box C, (which measures the same thing as box A) once again. This is similar to the measurement problem of quantum mechanics. Measurement coherence and entanglement are intimately related. Truth is the highest energy state of a system. Time may be the process of moving from order to randomness. The past has higher order than the future. This is different than a computer running a computation, unless the instruction set includes entropy. The universe is expanding. Into what? A higher dimension? In a two dimensional model of the universe, (the skin of a balloon), as the balloon expands, we do have a dimension at a right angle to the expanding skin. Is this time? Is the point at the center of the balloon the beginning? Is the skin of the balloon a fractal or a hologram? What is randomness, the opposite of truth? The structure of the universe is a computational geometry that is fractal in nature. If the universe is made of information then, we are moving from a state of profound truth to a state of meaningless gibberish. This is the second law of thermodynamics. We are in the gray region between truth and uncertainty. Our position in the computational geometry has something to do with scale. What is most important is meaning and relationships nested into context, (story, actors, and stage). It may be fluctuation of probabilities or fractal reiterations with varying degrees of freedom in an information field stored holographically. Is time the framework in which choices are made? Could it be the vehicle for our fractal journey? What we are talking about is a fractal probability distribution of space/time. Save your breath sonny, it's fractals all the way down. The difference between unity or singularity and infinity or infinite regress is the same as the difference between static truth and dynamic variation, (potential as an infinite recursive iteration). Any attempt to explain the idea of truth, will result in an explanation that requires an explanation. This continues to infinity as a logical monster. Truth has a static quality and perfect symmetry, it looks the same from every angle, at every scale. In a dynamical system, truthfulness will fluctuate. Variation is dynamic, being neither perfectly symmetrical nor purely random. In the hierarchy of information, truth has the most potential and uncertainty has the most variation. The connection that completes the circuit would look something like deception (self referential randomness) if you are moving towards chaos, and love or harmony if you are moving towards truth. Our connection to this circuit is through appreciation of beauty, and desire, the polarity or direction depends on how you understand or trust the information. Love is the purest connection moving to the highest energy state and deception (self referential randomness) pulls you into the darkness, the dynamics of qualia. Knowledge is the physical manifestation of consciousness. If information is stable then knowledge is fairly stable and what is fluctuating is understanding, this division or variation of all things is in "understanding" and the unification of all things is this thing we call "love." While this may seem strange, the information field appears to be conscious and if this is the case then we cannot rule out the idea of a higher purpose. This higher purpose would most likely have something to do with love. Matter and energy cannot be created or destroyed and the same is true for information. Matter has a material quality that emerges out of the information field. Information has a spiritual quality with variation emerging from the singularity. In the digital world nothing truly exist unless it exist in at least two places. Our connection to the information occurs at a deeper level of reality. Profound absurdities link perception and imagination. If we take the intangible and encapsulate it within the vessel of reason, then we turn it this way and that looking for clues, we may discover something unexpected or we may have to discard the thing and move on. There is an awful lot to sift through and all too often no clear direction, we do this however because we must. If we attend a moment, it is given value as a consequence of memory and if intention is placed upon it, the value fluctuates as it branches out into the future as possibilities. In this journey of life we have been set upon, every choice becomes a fork in the road. The destination of the branches in front of us are real but all the "other branches behind us" (the choices we did not make) are imagined. The history of a black hole is written or smeared upon its rippling surface, called the event horizon. The observable universe may be the rippling skin of the real universe. With each quantum tick of time the the skin or membrane of our universe gets bigger. Can the past, present and future appear together at a certain scale? Einstein tells us that the distinction between the past present and future is a stubbornly persistent illusion. This would suggest that the universe is like a set of Russian dolls nested inside of one another. They all exist but we are stepping from one to the next with every tick of time. From a highly energetic and highly ordered luminous state, into cold dark chaos. At the micro scale, time is an emergent property, at the macro scale, time appears to be a fundamental feature. Time, gravity, the stretching out of space and the second law of thermodynamics are linked in a manner which has yet to be described. If the expansion of the universe is speeding up, this could mean that the degrees of freedom in the outer fractal hisrarchy is increasing (Fredkin's paradox). If the nature of the universe is indeed digital then what the speed of light defines for us may be the processor speed. If it is a hologram with fractal features, time will have nested cycles. The resolution of a system defines the limits of any value assigned to it. Infinity could be the changing value inside of a cycle, possibly fractal reiterations. At the finest scale, we end up back at unity, each point represents the whole. Let's assume for a moment that at the singularity of the big bang, the speed of light was infinite. We will ignore the prime mover for the moment and focus on what happens to light as space expands. If space unfolded like an infinite set of Planck scale tiles, the speed of light in the first tile would be infinite, at the next iteration, it would be less, and so on. the slowing of the speed of light would follow a power scaling law. Time is an emergent property, and so is space, and so is everything else. The unfolding of these tiles could be a fractal probability distribution and gravity cannot reverse the unfolding. it just slows it down in a relative manner. At the singularity of a black hole, entropy has not been reversed it has been repositioned or redistributed. Gravity may be a two dimensional phenomenon. It could also be a one dimensional fractal curve occupying three dimensions which in musical terms has a tension and release as it repositions into the second and third dimension. If we are talking about information, this unfolding would resemble the computational arrangement of a very simple instruction set that grows in complexity. Did the universe boot itself up? Are physical laws part of the universe, as opposed to standing outside it? Are the rules governing the universe emergent? We cannot say at this time which fundamental feature the universe possesses. The most improbable possibility contains the most information. If I am talking about a four legged mammal that quacks, "quacks" contains the most information because there are many four legged creatures and there are many mammals but only one creature quacks.

  • THE ART of DREAMING by Carlos Castaneda
    THE ART OF DREAMING By Carlos Castaneda [Version 1.1 - Originally scanned, proofed and released by BELTWAY ] [If you correct any errors, please increment the version number and re-release.] AUTHOR'S NOTE: Over the past twenty years, I have written a series of books about my apprenticeship with a Mexican Yaqui Indian sorcerer, don Juan Matus. I have explained in those books that he taught me sorcery but not as we understand sorcery in the context of our daily world: the use of supernatural powers over others, or the calling of spirits through charms, spells, or rituals to produce supernatural effects. For don Juan, sorcery was the act of embodying some specialized theoretical and practical premises about the nature and role of perception in molding the universe around us. Following don Juan's suggestion, I have refrained from using shamanism, a category proper to anthropology, to classify his knowledge. I have called it all along what he himself called it: sorcery. On examination, however, I realized that calling it sorcery obscures even more the already obscure phenomena he presented to me in his teachings. In anthropological works, shamanism is described as a belief system of some native people of northern Asia-prevailing also among certain native North American Indian tribes-which maintains that an unseen world of ancestral spiritual forces, good and evil, is pervasive around us and that these spiritual forces can be summoned or controlled through the acts of practitioners, who are the intermediaries between the natural and supernatural realms. Don Juan was indeed an intermediary between the natural world of everyday life and an unseen world, which he called not the supernatural but the second attention.

Rich Associate Professor of Art History Craig Zabel Head of the Department of Art History Michael Bernhard Associate Professor of Political Science *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School ii ABSTRACT From Activism to Kinetism: Modernist Spaces in Hungarian Art, 1918-1930. Budapest – Vienna – Berlin investigates modernist art created in Central Europe of that period, as it responded to the shock effects of modernity. In this endeavor it takes artists directly or indirectly associated with the MA (“Today,” 1916-1925) Hungarian artistic and literary circle and periodical as paradigmatic of this response. From the loose association of artists and literary men, connected more by their ideas than by a distinct style, I single out works by Lajos Kassák – writer, poet, artist, editor, and the main mover and guiding star of MA , – the painter Sándor Bortnyik, the polymath László Moholy- Nagy, and the designer Marcel Breuer. This exclusive selection is based on a particular agenda. First, it considers how the failure of a revolutionary reorganization of society during the Hungarian Soviet Republic (April 23 – August 1, 1919) at the end of World War I prompted the Hungarian Activists to reassess their lofty political ideals in exile and make compromises if they wanted to remain in the vanguard of modernity.

    PREMESSA AGLI ATTI DELLO OTTAVO REGIONAL SEAPOWER SYMPOSIUM DI VENEZIA del Capo di Stato Maggiore della Marina Il Capo di Stato Maggiore della Marina Il Regional Seapower Symposium (RSS) di Venezia è l’evento che da ormai quattordici anni rappresenta uno dei principali strumenti utilizzati dalla Marina Militare per contribuire allo sviluppo della partnership internazionale e contribuire alla sicurezza marittima globale. Se è vero che il numero ed il livello dei partecipanti costituiscono un’indicazione attendibile dell’importanza di un evento, l’ottava edizione del RSS - che ha visto rappresentanti di 44 Marine che operano nel Mediterraneo Allargato e 20 Organizzazioni Internazionali e realtà militari e civili incontrarsi nella cornice lagunare – può senza dubbio essere definita un successo. Partendo dalla convinzione che il Dialogo e la Cooperazione conferiscano alla Maritime Security un valore aggiunto, rappresentandone un vero e proprio fattore abilitante, i lavori delle sessioni hanno analizzato, da differenti prospettive, il contributo di questo fondamentale binomio a concetti di grande attualità nello scenario marittimo internazionale: la Maritime Situational Awareness, le Maritime Security Operations e la Maritime Capacity Building. L’efficace combinazione di tali concetti consente di conseguire la Maritime Security in senso lato, fattore – quest’ultimo - che sta influenzando e condizionando l’organizzazione operativa delle Marine di tutto il mondo. Le discussioni, gli interventi e gli eventi collaterali di questo Simposio hanno evidenziato l’importanza di una partnership forte ed attiva - sul versante internazionale come su quello nazionale - per un’efficace risposta e contrasto alle sfide che l’attuale ambiente marittimo in continua evoluzione ci pone: la pirateria, il terrorismo e tutte le altre attività illecite che trovano in mare il proprio spazio di manovra rappresentano gli esempi più attuali.
