Chapter 16
In the happy days
of undergraduate learning when increasing knowledge seemed a serious
way to earn a living I took a minor in history. From youth I was
fascinated by the historical actions, structures and relationships of
sentient beings and societies. I discovered that Yuman and
alien ways have often differed yet many things are ditto'd intra and
extra-Yuman socially speaking.
Learning of the
ways of the galactic beings with sentient thought emerged as one of
several methods for increasing my philosophical understanding. The
love of wisdom leads one to investigate not only the structure of
physical reality and the greater physics of where and what that
comprises, it brings one to comprehend how and why sentient beings
live and act in that circumstance. Numerous divisions of the pursuit
of wisdom and knowledge of meaningful truth are illuminated by the
weave of social history.
Sometimes I've
invested in data acquisition of the social history of non-sentient
species for comparison with that of sentient social history
structure. To learn to what degree the social history of sentient
culture is pre-determined and generic natural behavior enacted
without substantial intentional or willful creative rational thought
I contrasted it with unthinking animals that my researches brought me
to into contact with as well as alien societies and their physical
environments of habitation. I have wondered if supposedly sentient
societies inevitably construct or ossify particular social structures
without capacity for selecting any alternate course for
actualization?
Life is short and
passes like a mirage in the reflection of future's past. There are
many roads to travel and too little time to journey over them all.
Determining what knowledge should be given priority for acquisition
is one of the valuable general skills a philosopher hopes to develop.
Skipping over the
surface waters of the macro and microcosms intellectually one can
select immersion in a spatio-temporal locality for intensive
research. For instance, combat and wars occur for many non-sentient
species as general expressions of conflict over resources and
reproduction. Many life forms conflict as the natural expression of a
fallen Universe dissolving order with entropy.
Sentient species
ought to be able to evolve beyond war and comprehend the reasons why
energy consumption and boundary issues are ubiquitous in
unintelligent species. Those interactions of conflict in a paradigm
of temporal entropy are a less than optimal use of life spacetime.
The Wars of
Insignificant Empires began without an historically recorded
explanation. Morality had long ago been killed as a casualty of the
end of religion and the past restarted with the end of history. No
one remembered what meaningful life had been nor what meaning was.
None had ever been found. Social reality was essentially without form
and void. Wars of Two Insignificant Empires were a
way of life, the only way of life in the land of two kings.
Yvonne and I felt
social senselessness when we entered the final zone of social reality
as war for-itself with the combatants living entirely in the present.
The Bashtunwali code of honor and vengeance in-itself
morphed into transcendent violence as the moral good delimited only
by Occam's razor of simple opposition-force enabled thoughtless
execution of war toward a direct object of hate- the enemy.
This was another
space-time that would not have been at the top of our list of places
to visit for work research if we had a choice. Our preference is to
follow the most intelligent leads in excellent places of civilization
and beauty, not to go someplace like the forgettable neo-worlds of
the Hologoloid nightmare of emerging eco-hell brought
to premature management apocalypse or a planet evolved to
fundamental feudality of war.
Even birds
of The Insignificant Empires know
poverty. Wealth management finesse has sought to get a trickle or a
flood of wealth moving from the masses to flow upward since social
time immemorial. Before the common descent into venality stabilizes
poverty at the bottom, wealth of a tiny minority with heavy
capitalization concentrates high above. The vast majority far below
is often restive in anticipation of change. That is, an unstable
distribution of wealth and power awaits instant, catastrophic
transition to a more stable state.
Heedless of an
unstable top-heavy pendulum of capital allocation, greedy, myopic,
leveraging capitalists invest in social development of their own
built up power acquisitions training the masses to be thoughtless
followers of mindless entertainment. They are confident the masses
are occupied with venal concerns that distract them from considering
the state of their own economic subjugation.
The masses are
politically and economically blinded by martinets of the consequences
of wide-spread corruption following the top-heavy distribution of
capital.
When a rotten
infrastructure propping up high, unstable towers of concentrated
wealth in the financial clouds gives way under the straining weight
on the masses sublimating yearning for liberation the catastrophic
transition into mass social chaos flares uprenormalizing creative
destruction in an evolutionary crash.
The newly asexual
warrior-gangsters of two kingdoms inherited an evolutionary history
reaching four hundred thousand years to the past when the first
ape-like primates living on the ground among dozens of primate
species developed an evolutionary edge by hunting and running in
packs able to chase down and kill rival species of sapient primates
regarded as rivals. Leaders were the better killers. Social power is
the basic capital good. Material goods quite common are exchangeable
without changing the status of personal wealth. What some cynics
would call civilization started with piles of bones at good sites for
predation that built up enough that the primates eventually arranged
them in mounds, sorting out the good for war clubs and the bad for
building material and tools. Wars amidst rival gangs were fought for
control of the best bone piles. Warriors evolving situational
competition for control began living at the piles year around
developing the first settlements eventually reinforcing bone piles
with mud and eventually stones.
On a grassy knoll
at the bottom of a valley that would in the distant future become
flooded with a rise in sea level the civilization of one kingdom got
its start. Kingdom two was a bone pile on a hill just barely visible
beyond a tectonic tear in the land at the side of the valley. From a
grassy knoll near the edge it commanded a view of the canyon
obstructing immediate war.
The first war
over flooding issues developed when the lower valley tribe blamed the
acceleration of global warming, ice melting and valley flooding on
the uphill tribe. It was obvious they built too many campfires and
heated the sky. They needed to move uphill yet wanted a good moral
reason to exterminate the vermin and found it.
The remedy was to
take the land and wealth of the others so it might be used wisely.
Wealth began concentrating at an increasing rate and non-violent
social development was completely arrested with the exception of work
in a few construction trades. Plundering raids overcame farming and
cultivation of inventions. A relocated new and improved kingdom grew
to resist the other.
Yvonne and I
perused the writing on the five meters high wall of the city. As
a xenopologist she was strongly experienced with alien
cultures. A variety of insults and threats decorated the blood stone
rectangles boasting of victories and the god status of the kingdom
assembly.
We saw no one
atop the wall and heard a clamoring roar rise beyond it. We felt
something of the presence of sentients. A pungent brawling mob
surged through the primary gate over the drawbridge. Punches from
brawny arms were thrown connecting with square jaws and the mob
stomped over the beat-down casualties trampling on them before the
excess surged off the bridge into the deep, dry, concrete moat.
"That is not
an example of lions lying down with lambs Yvonne. Those troglodytes
would bite any lambs they got a hold of."
"Pat, when
Jesus Christ returns the fundamental nature of thermodynamics will
change. The message of the lion and the lamb symbolizes the original
sin of thermodynamics and the consuming human drive to input energy
for growth.
Like all
organisms evolving in nature human beings are driven to consume
others in various ways as a raging thermodynamic process in
a Higgs field. God is a spiritual being and
above spatio-temporal thermodynamic evolution.
Jesus Christ
portrayed metaphorically as the Lamb of God sacrificed
himself to make atonement for those of faith who are incarnated
physically with original sin, as are all human beings, condemned
because of entropy imperfection that is sin. Jesus defeated sin and
death and was resurrected, His sacrifice is payment enough for those
that recognize and accept him as their personal savior.
As the Lion of
Judah Jesus is destined to return in power to wrap up the sinful way
of the world in a fair and balanced termination of evil through
apocalypse and judgment. The Lord Jesus is the way to God and is the
only complete non-temporal Person capable of not only intervening in
Universal existence, but of surpassing the Universe and its
thermodynamic phenomenalitymorally. Jesus Christ can mend the
fallen and thermodynamic Universe and give eternal life with God to
the saved souls for whom He is Lord."
The fight on the
bridge and beyond surged around us. It was a large bridge.
"Yes, I
think so too Yvonne. Thermodynamic world lines can evolve toward evil
as well as good. The duality of good and evil in the Universe might
be more accurately said to be neutral, evil thought. In this paradigm
good is a category of things that satisfy thermodynamic energy input
drives with moral equanimity and low evil values in proportion to
the 'good'. The good is just a neutral consonance with
thermodynamics. Evil is to victimize mass acquisition prevailing over
neutrality.
Mass food
production that doesn't adversely impact an ecosphere is
good (neutral) when the production is abundant and equally available
to all. Evil evolves phenomenality when sentient beings are
crimped with socially placed insults or privations. When the public
balance of thermodynamic neutrality or the ecosphere is
reduced through private and exclusive acts, evil has occurred.
When private
interests that exist within a meta-neutral state are insulted or
degraded evil occurs. Keep in mind that the thermodynamic condition
of organic beings implicitly is unbalanced and biased toward
consumption and destruction of the packaging of others. Laws, borders
and boundaries of being are targets of destruction as well as tools
for defense as well as oppression.
Some of that
evolution to consume is sociopathically enforced such as in
Nazi extermination camps. Another example is the desertification of
an ecosphere caused by sentient-produced global heating.
Indifferent to developing macro-social environmental evil because of
more concern for taking personal profits in a producing-consuming
business cycle, evil deeds often actualize to sell out an ecosphere.
In the end we
think of the future Yvonne, the Lord Jesus Christ overcomes the whole
problem of a thermodynamic Universe and original sin. The
anti-Christ's spirit of lawlessness personifies
thermodynamic egoism following the sin of Adam and Eve in the
non-temporal garden. Jesus Christ is the atoning second and perfectly
obedient to the will of God Adam.
The Apostle Paul
described the way original sin and world thermodynamic consumerism
for Christians would be concluded in Second Thessalonians chapter
two; Christians will be taken up and disappear in the atmosphere in
what is known as The Rapture.
Thessalonica two
thousand years after the Apostle was a city that experienced fascist
terror with the depopulation of tens of thousands of Jews that had
arrived over time seeking refuge from European persecution. The Third
Reich transported the Jews ofThessalonica in sealed trains to
concentration camps and gas chambers during the holocaust of the
Second World War on Y'Earth.
The extemporal Garden
of Eden is beyond four-dimensions of temporal exstasis in
relativistic space-time and was guarded by four cherubim. I am not
certain what that means. It could have been Saudi Arabia before the
end of the Wisconsin ice age.
The tree of life
and the tree of knowledge are with God. After eating from the tree of
knowledge mankind dove into new thermodynamic consumption of
the ecosphere and was lost spiritually. Humanity lost its
naked innocence putting on original sin.
The lion and the
lamb in one light can be regarded as Biblical symbols of consumerism
as carnivores and herbivores. Unthinking animals as predators and
prey are elements in the thermodynamic compresence of
an ecosphere. For animals good is no more than positive
reinforcement of thermodynamic requisites of energy intake and
control. Evil is the antinomy of good. Of course animals
have no reflective awareness of the concepts of good and evil as
moral categories. They simply move for the good of consumption and
control.
What is the
definition of innocence? It is something humanity lost after eating
from the tree of knowledge? They were also forbidden to eat of the
tree of life. Cast out into temporality humanity had to
learn and develop their own knowledge to survive for a while but the
entire enterprise was doomed because of the original sin and
reduction to temporal existence and mortality.
Two thousand
after Jesus Christ lived as a man on Y'Earth human
geneticists began working on constructing a tree of immortal life
embedded within the thermodynamic, temporal Universe. That was a
counter-intuitive effort considering that thermodynamic process is
about the increase of entropy. In the absence of spiritual
development live animals increase entropy overall in order to
decrease it for-themselves for a time."
"It is
amazing that we can consider the history of a race and historical
social traits even as the bodies pile up in the moat from the
conflict surging around us."
"That's
necessarily the way it is Yvonne. What could we do, pick a side and
start killing people?
When Cain the
maker of tools killed his brother Abel, a shepherd, the sentient
awareness of evil was present. Cain like Adam and Eve knew the
difference between neutrality and evil. A sentient mind in a body
integrated in an environment of original sin can rationalize away its
knowledge of evil and even the difference between neutrality and
evil. It cannot hide from itself the innate knowledge of the
difference between good neutrality and evil when it acts as the
predatory lion consuming others regarded as lambs for the taking."
Yvonne thought
about that a second and said,
"So
the Insignificant Empires of this world brawl
through one another and an ecosphere without right moral
direction. They are producer-consumers repressing with mass social
privations, insults, sanctions and death unreflected immersion in
original sin?"
"Exactly.
Keep on your optic invisibility screen Yvonne. I think the people of
the Insignificant Empires are people that shouldn't
see us for now. "
Our images
weren't visible to the brawlers surging their way onto the prairie
outside the castle walls continuing their fight. They left many
bodies strewn behind unconscious and bloodied while reinforcements
pushed across the drawbridge. The epicenter of action continued to
evolve vectoring away from the crowd inside surging out. We saw no
obvious reason for the chaos at all. Punches were thrown all around.
Wind across the prairie was rising ahead of a dust storm looming
several miles away. Senseless violence was silhouetted against a
double-star dawn.
Yvonne took out a
quantum camera to record the fight. She must have made quite a
substantial inventory of video captures to work with for cutting,
splicing and uploading YouBoob movies. Several thousand men
were embroiled in the melee. The women were missing and I wondered
about that. Maybe they were left behind in the city?
Arising from
nowhere-probably stealth shrouded before the moment- a host of
vicious machines labeled with words in chartreuse
letters Cyborg Massachoose cut a way through
the mass of men with laser life-scythes drawing tighter complete
encirclement and in seconds reduced the brawling men to smoldering
pieces of charred meat.
We egressed from
the scene of carnage quietly unnoticed by the Cyborg Massachoose and
made our way to the edge of the moat thirty feet from the drawbridge.
Yvonne and I descended down the moat climbing cautiously on its steep
side to interview a survivor with a broken back. The interview was
made easier because he couldn't see us. He could have touched and
smell our presence if he'd tried very hard.
Yvonne smelled
rather sweet this morning. That's probably better than goat dung odor
to a casualty. The smells of blood and offal in the dry, dusty moat
distracted him enough with the broken back and paralysis that he
mightn't notice us, not that it mattered.
"What is
your name?" Yvonne asked the casualty.
"Who are
you? Where are you?", the broken man said, "I am
Bull Querdo."
"Why were
you fighting son?" Yvonne asked Bull Querdo.
"We are the
evolution of evil. I am the evolution. We fight for the evolution of
unrighteousness because we evolved to do that."
"Well that
wasn't the secret phrase Bull. We are sorry to see you like this,
arms all akimbo with compound vertebrae breaks. Everyone can have a
bad day. Tell us about the Cyborg Massachoose. What
are they and what authority sent them?"
"The Cyborg
M are godless enforcers of atheism. They evolve evil. They
are made with computer-aided design and manufactured to consumer
specifications with partial human brains. The synthebrains that
hate love and love hate operate the most wicked relevant machinery
bodies available to keep the leavening mass of choosing-for-others
dominant in political power.
Beyond a slash in
the rodina, a deep chasm that is a tear in the fabric of
reality, Cyborg Massachoose are produced in the
bloody shining city on a hill we see through a cloud of dust darkly,
whenever at all. When Cyborg Massachoose programmers
iterated corrupt controlling algorithms to win the last battle of the
final four world brawls the Eastern Evil Empire of
Insignificance made swell like no other empire before."
"Well
Yvonne, That doesn't sound much like an ignorant feudal bumpkin."
I thought to ask Bull Querdo,
"In the next
millennium will the Insignificant Eastern Evil Empire select
a new Cyborg Massachoose ruling clique"?
The formerly
brawling wretch Querdo was in obvious pain and shock talk.
He tended to run on sentences as if he were chewingkhat before
the brawl and the effects hadn't worn off yek, "They always
promise so I would suppose. They have been talking about power
sharing for several hundred years at least, according to the public
school mystery teachings."
With that final
piece of insignificant information uttered Bull Querdo experiencing
the descent of the black curtain and shuddering chill of death. He
expired beginning the process of becoming one with the dust in his
own moat of decay.
The ground
dissolved under us though we didn't sink. It became transparent with
myriad firefly-like atom-sized widgets replacing the minerals of the
planet. Fewer widgets were replacing the atmosphere as well, then the
city itself faded away to transform into trillions of little widgets
resembling the Universal widget that we encountered on the planet
Spud. We were still able to breathe.
"What is
this widgetness transformation Pat?"
"If I were
to guess Yvonne, I would say it seems that the widget can boot up
into reality at whatever scale it wants converting mass and energy
directly into little widgets."
"So you
believe this reality formation is caused by the Universal widget
Pat?"
"Well, I
haven't got a more likely suspect. Apparently the UW is
more fundamental than the Higgs Field. You notice that
gravity has stopped and time has quit. Relativity coheres with mass
and energy so with the UW replacing mass and energy time
has become relativistic, discrete and stationary as an attribute of
the Universal widget field following whatever way the Universal
widget sentience or directions-from whatever source that might be-
wills."
"So that
means an absence of time as well as gravity?"
"Evidently
Yvonne. We seem to be sustained by a local personal field enveloped
within the meta- widget field. The widgets haven't yet consumed our
mass energy. The space-time energy for-ourselves coincides with our
experience of being."
"Your spacetime is
one of my memories", the sky said.
"I think
that was the Universal widget Patrick"
"Yes, who
else could it be Yvonne?"
I asked the
Universal widget, "So how's life UW?"
"Same old,
same old", replied the Universal widget in its mellifluous
style.
Considering the
circumstances and our vulnerability and subjectivity, I made a
philosophical evaluation of the complete complex ofcompresence. Maybe
the Universal widget didn't regard us as being highly sentient. It
might have no experience of being human.
"Though we
are a memory widget, I think we are real even so. We exist as real
independent beings within your present memory."
"How
thoughtful you are Patrick Voevoda. Think about this; as all
widgets that exist in widget reality are of my sentient design, and
since all things that I make to exist can be constructed in any time
order it follows that everything I think and will to be
is pre-determined to exist phenomenally."
The Universal
widget evidently created its form as a local infinity cloud of
discrete widgets without any content from the standard model of
quantum physics. It could build its own content and scale up or down
with relativistic mass. Its own mass was relative to its intention
with variables of composition forming a unique steady state of
fundamental energy. Energy without space-time mass needs to exist in
quantum packets that aren't of infinite value themselves. Time can be
reassembled subjectively into whatever structure the widget
configures.
Yvonne asked,
"Widget of widgets have you a name?"
"No one
before asked. Yes I have a name."
"Well that
settles that Yvonne."
I asked the
Universal widget,
"If we are
experiencing no-time-passing for us now with our Universe 1 mass of a
different form than we are accustomed to, and if we visualize the
beginning and the end of our encounter with your will at every
instant finding complete routes through space-time, why is it that we
speak in a linear way? You must be replacing our standard mass quanta
with your timeless steady state quanta as we speak, evolving a
standing wave form of our being independent of any
space-time compresent setting?"
"Patrick Voevoda,
It is convenient to filter and structure an order for communication
of idea expression even though all actualized ideas could exist
all-at-once with a specialized spatial structure. It not only takes
less time, it takes no time other than the present. For now you are
one of my memories, as is Yvonne.
When I return you
to a Universe 1 context you will resume normal, local integration in
a steady-state actualization of the Higgs field ensemble
with personal independence.
Everything I
encounter physically becomes one of my memories. You have a spiritual
identity-a name known to the One who is Three persons. I haven't data
on where or how those names exist. I am concerned with my own widget
workings useful for Universe 1 generally. Pure spirit is of a finer
nature than my own."
"That's all
right U.W. I think you too must have spirit in order to be given such
a prominent role,"
"Nice of you
to say so Yvonne."
You may know that
some refer to you as The Wonderful Widget.
"It's good
to have fans."
"Well W. W.,
I think we do exist as beings for ourselves and not simply as echoes
of solipsistic ideas of yours."
"Why do you
think so Patrick Voevoda?"
"A human
being if converted to ash weighs about six pounds. The rest when
burned off is mostly hydrogen and oxygen as water made into vapor.
That six pounds of disorganized chemical residue after water is
extracted was a human being because of its structure. Structure and
the abstract form of structure, one might call it the order of
organizing principle, is the essence of existence. I think the
fundamental organizing principle is the Intellect of God.
Let me tell you
something about what was commonly said about quantum cosmology in the
21st century...
Fields were the
fundamental element of being known to physics. Particles get mass
from fields. Field symmetry breaking lets local forces arise such as
the strong force and the electroweak force. Massless particles
(bosons) exist as vibrations traveling through a non-local field such
as the electro-magnetic field with bosons like photons and
gravitons. Particles with mass occur in gauge fields also known as
local fields. Mass is comprised of Fermions although heavy bosons
with mass (i.e. the Higgs boson) can exist virtually
(temporarily) before breaking down into other particles.
In that context,
I can wonder if dimensions are micro-gauge fields bound in
place? Massless particles are emergent vibrations in a
field.
I can consider a
thought-metaphor such as a straight rope lying on the ground. One
takes an end of the rope and gives it a flip sending a wave down its
length. That's like a photon in an electromagnetic field or a
graviton in a gravity field in fewer dimensions. It's a phenomenal
particle at any given place or time where it's moving yet it really
is just the rope-field as a four-dimensional field fluctuating.
Consider
a Higgs field in four dimensions in a shape more like a
sphere than a rope, and that field is where the Universe occurs.
Particles with mass develop through contingent, local fields arising
within the primary field. Symmetry breaking is the usual suspect for
the development of local fields and particles with mass.
Mass seems to be
particles that are hierarchically bound within local
fields. Massless particles can pass through local fields
yet not vice versa. Mass is a hierarchy of standing waves in
local fields within the non-local Higgs field.
Consider the
nature of fields; what determines the scale and quality of a
primordial field like the Higgs field, what delimits it,
and what selects its dynamic values? Ought a field be expected to
have harmonic scalar increase of intelligence or to lose energy? Is a
field inevitably a collection of quanta emerging from some deeper
field?
Can Einstein's
ten-value metric tensor of General Relativity describing the
curvature of space-time be regarded as describing changes in quantity
and quality for embedded values of local quantum field values in the
non-local Higgs field (or relationships to condensed mass
or gauge fields within)? Is vacuum energy a metric for change in
the Higgs field over time?
U.W., I believe
our structure as human beings is structured and pre-determined,
including the meta-state that you have placed us in. Human beings
made by the Creator of Being including us are
meta-temporal virtual lives that can be transformed through
compatible fields while keeping coherent form. Human beings must
be pre-determined by the Creator to be contingent beings in
virtual form within virtual fields adapted to host forms appearing
from a Library of Forms existing by the will of
God."
"Yes I can
see that you might be uncertain of the delimitations of the
realm of forms and your role in it while believing that your
experience of being sentient is ultimately pre-determined by
God's will rather than mine. Evidently you haven't decided if I am an
emergent Universal form in a field or if I am the field of forms
for-itself. I can tell you that I am sure that I am not the initial
non-contingent Being.
Patrick, one
useful direction for contemplation is this; you may have a mapped
structure existing in The Library of Forms of God.
That is a good premise for phenomenal independence from my memory for
Yvonne and yourself. Even if I locate the contingent form-structure
you had in Universe 1 and expropriate that for my own meta-structural
idea widget-thought processing unit, the form itself is a reflection
of the Universal, non-local form that each of you have in The
Library of Forms."
While we wondered
if we were a reflection of a Universal form or a reflection of a
reflection of a Universal form the immediate transcending reality
Yvonne and I experienced together faded away into an emerging mist
morphing to reveal a planet of Insignificant Empires.
Dark thunderheads
overhead roiled convection thermals like anomalous dumplings across
the dry-as-dust landscape outside the gate. Snapping like a vast
towel from the sky a lightening bolt struck nearby. A deluge of large
warm raindrops broke upon the empires. Water running like a sheet
down the slippery slope to the moat began to fill and rise over new
mud.
"I guess
that counts as finding the Universal widget."
"You didn't
get the three wishes Conspiron Saulobinsk promised."
"I am not
sure where the Universal widget is. It did find us after all."
"I wonder
why it did that?
I hadn't an
answer for that,
"I don't
know Yvonne. Maybe we will learn why in time."
"We should
evolve out of the storm Patrick."
"Very funny
Yvonne. Into the city?"
"Yes."
We walked across
the drawbridge into the city. Large winged shrimp rose up from the
mud in the new water of the moat stimulated by the rare moisture.
Summoned from a resting state of dehydration they were arising with
hunger. They sprouted wings and flew to the corpses on the
battlefield landing on them to gorge down chewing with countless tiny
teeth leaving nothing besides glistening bones in the rain.
