Philosophical Questions of Space-Time and Multiple Universe Criteria

The subject of the multi-verse (instead of a universe) and the fundamental nature of reality presents some very challenging philosophical points for navigation. The math matters too--and it is beyond me although I can consider what the physicists describe as extrapolations for cosmological structure.Philosophically I take up the traditional epistemological and teleological points however in this fiction monologue..

M.C. Escher's drawings and paintings on perspective and various themes presented an investigation into the way that dimensions functions in perspective. Design must be a function on intention rather than objective created perhaps. Ants make good nests intentionally rather than randomly however that is a consequence of non-sentient laws of nature at a higher level forming interesting structures felicitous for the purpose of the existence of that life form.

In Escher's view of dimensions and contents we discover what can be represented in three dimensions looking to four. If we seek design in nature and the Universe we must look for purpose. I have a science fiction monologue of a character on the planet Subductor who has just has his girlfriend stolen by an unknown alien from the planetary library. Patrick Voevoda wonders about the nature of the multi-dimensional Universe he lives in. II will post an excerpt later.

Design is also a word. The word exist in a linguistic ontology as well as a Universal ontology. If someone arranges a bowl of fruit that was a design. If an artist paints the apparition of the fruit bowl then signs it that to was a design. As an aquaintance in the offshore oil industry once said 'you've got to put some intention on it'.

Design may be a duplication of that which already exist-copying a design is still an instance of that existential purpose of copying a design. We may like to consider a design to be a configuration of order of non-self existing materials, yet there is more to it than that--it is an area from which many philosophical departures may lift off...

"When human development continued for so many generations that vast language and philosophical data bases compiled more of a parallax of creativity upon mass, energy and what are regarded as material objects our knowledge developed too. When human intelligence made all of the material world a malleable subject the philosophical question arose about what the material world really would be if it were entirely subject to the human mind and it's restructuring. If all of quantum mechanical wave-particles were arranged in arbitrary waves of comfort to Corporate, not only would questions of ‘would the entire floppy mess collapse arise‘; but deeper epistemological questions arose as well.

Such questions as; are material, corresponding shapes or Universe constructions matching human, a priori thought designs, completely still material without space-time transformation? The derivative question of the possibility of creating ideas as realities without space-time change brought us to the singularity threshold of The One without need for extension of space-time.

Though necessarily we returned to the first question as did others at that time. Are such existent creations a priori as well if they are non-sentient (agnostic inert) thought constructions, or would artificial, matching constructed universes made in accordance with human a priori thought, need to be self-aware pantheistically at least in part--in order to be a priori thought for-itself?

Where would the differences be between a human self-aware mind and its a-priori thought, and those of extended, empirical, artificially reflecting mind-shape Universes that are self aware? Human minds change continuously, though reference confusion regarding self-awareness and its contents are common, and also have a large subconscious component. Is a sub-conscious juxtaposition of space-time a random assortment method of avoiding the restrictive logic of space-time and necessity of order?

How much of an artificially self-aware universe could be an inert, subconscious element and how much could it change? Could a conscious Universe have a subconscious element? Did the rapid expansion of this Universe1 after seven billion years coincide with an increase in biological self-awareness in the Universe1?

The difficulty in associating language and meaning sets with external, empirical objects and force fields is unavoidable because words have their origin in simultaneous association with an interactive material environment in Universe1. Words will always remain a little different for humans than the objects they refer to, even in the most coinciding contexts. Solely God has the word that is a for-itself spirit and material existence, to the extent that He wills

Humans face a kind of jeopardy in over-associating their own spirit with the material, and in the transformation of too-much of their environment into a completely, artificially designed, human product. Occam's razor ought rightly to apply to human resource interaction as well as it does to reason. Reason and material reformation are inherently linked, and that is axiomatic as well as the origins of language and logic are, in the utility of the context of being a human in this designated Universe1.

If we are to continue to exist in a meaningful-to-ourselves context, then we shall need to acknowledge the utility of setting our own limits at converting either mass into mind or mind into mass, even though it might seem possible at many points to do so. The donation of life given at the onset of the human experience is an axiom for-itself that needs to be accepted as an actual starting point. Conservation of life and of Universe1 resources are required implicitly--as deontological roles for being human.

Though an infinity of ontological language sets and material formations of empirical components are possible, the deontological practice of conservation of natural continua should be maximized simultaneously with the increase of human intelligence in order to avoid the obverse decline of the prospects for human reason, when it has kissed away its prospects converting everything into a mess of potage."

I looked at Norma with more respect than I'd already had since finding her efficient and attractive personal ways since meeting at the bar.

The electric pig glided to the end of the line and we stepped out into the chamber that had once been destined for a peaceful and prosperous future but know was filled with the ruined hopes of the future past. It was increasingly dark toward the far side beyond which lay glimmering, smoky gas fumes convected up as wind currents. Reflecting light at the end of the tunnel of a continent exploded, and in flames beyond, time grew short as we made our way through the shadows and dank dwellers of corporate darkness, rising gradually upward several minutes.

"There is another quarter mile ahead of negotiating a course through the complexities of debris in the tunnel. Before we reach the street I want to let you know a little secret I have kept from you."

Really? What's that Norma?

We kept walking through a maze of carefully designed twists and turns in the course placed to make unintentional discovery of the tunnel behind highly unlikely."
