But, I think it would be a case in which I would say 'analogy' is overused. But that it by the way. > [Mark] This is where > the moment depicts all past realities impinging in a single point and > then expanding to all possible realities in the future.

But I think that this happens to be consistent with RMP too, for what it's worth. As I understand, the whole static structure is for one I, and DQ doesn't say how exactly we all come together. (That is, the intellectual dominance of the social is only an intra-personal dominance; and on down. For a 'society' to work we all have to bring our patterns into DQ and do it from there.) > >[Mark] One could envision this constriction of reality into a single moment > as a simple physical predictive occurrence, that is, one of > determinism. [Tim] I don't know about that! One might imagine that one could 'envision this ... determinism', but I think that the living, choosing, willing act of the I breaks that possibility. > [Mark] Where our current understanding of physics leaves us, > however, is that we do not know how to predict.

I gave it a quick read because I couldn't put it down. Then I looked back at something - I don't remember where I got turned on to it, I think it was here, someone provided a link maybe ... Anyway, I ended up coming upon 'entropic gravity'. Are you familiar with these?
