Toward a Platonic model of creation- ver. 1
This is very very speculative, and is likely to
change before the end of the day. I offer it as
sharable thinking piece in which anybody can
join in (a wiki game) and change or add to.
1) Let Plato's One or Cosmic Mind be the source of
everything. Space and time emerge as nonphysical
quantum strings out of it.
2) Before there is physical space or time,
let there be an infinite set of nonphysical numbers,
each individually assigned to a monadic form.
These do no have physical correlates but are
merely potential monads or quantum forms.
3) Let these monads be quantum strings or manifolds
of two types: pre-existing time strings and pre-existing
space strings.
4) Consider that the forms of these quantum strings
be Plato's Forms. Infinitely changeable and divisible, so not
yet physical.
5) These explode into being according to a one-to-many model.
6) Consider that the platonic forms are quantum fields,
which are divisible and hence not yet substances, but after the
explosion are
changed into physical, monadic substances: fundamental particles,
physical strings, etc. etc. Each then having a monad, each has a "soul"
or identity.
7) Because of the infinite number of quantum fields, such creation
can be continuous or continue.
