Dear Richard,

 How would one prove that all observations that that 1p has are
mutually consistent? Unless you assume that the speed of light is
infinite, and thus there exists a unique simultaneity (or absolute and
uniform variation of the rate of sequencing of events) for all  
observed
events, mutual consistency is impossible. This implies that there  
cannot

exist a singular 1p for "the entire universe". It is for this reason
that I reject the 'realist' approach to ontology and epistemology  
and am

trying to develop an alternative.
 Think about how it is that a Boolean Algebra, which is known to  
be
the faithful logical structure representing a 'classical'  
universe' (not

'the universe'!), is found to be Satisfiable.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boolean_satisfiability_problem

"In computer science, satisfiability (often written in all capitals or
abbreviated SAT) is the problem of determining if the variables of a
given Boolean formula can be assigned in such a way as to make the
formula evaluate to TRUE. Equally important is to determine whether no
such assignments exist, which would imply that the function  
expressed by
the formula is identically FALSE for all possible variable  
assignments.

In this latter case, we would say that the function is unsatisfiable;
otherwise it is satisfiable. For example, the formula a AND b is
satisfiable because one can find the values a = TRUE and b = TRUE,  
which

make (a AND b) = TRUE. To emphasize the binary nature of this problem,
it is frequently referred to as Boolean or propositional  
satisfiability.


SAT was the first known example of an NP-complete problem. That  
briefly

means that there is no known algorithm that efficiently solves all
instances of SAT, and it is generally believed (but not proven, see P
versus NP problem) that no such algorithm can exist. Further, a wide
range of other naturally occurring decision and optimization problems
can be transformed into instances of SAT."

 It seems to me that the content of any 1p that is real must be at
least a solution to a SAT problem.

Dear Roger,

The analogy of monads to Indra's beads (or jewels) is exact. Each 
monad's perception (it is a singular integration not fragmented 
plurality) is identical to a set of perceptions of other monad's, in the 
sense that one of the Jewels in Indra's net 'reflects all others'. But 
we have to be careful. If the word "all" is absolute, then the jewels 
(monads) are identical to each other and thus all monads are One. It is 
only then the 'all' of the reflections is not absolute that we obtain 
distinctions between monads. We cannot just consider the ideal case, we 
must also consider the non-idea cases, such as when monads do not have 
complete images of each other and thus do not have a global harmony. We 
are considering here something known as mereology.


See:  http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/mereology/

A good formal mathematical consideration of this mereology is found 
in Non-Well founded sets, where the special case of a well founded set 
appears. The well founded set plays the role of the special absolute 
case of the absolute 'all' , as in "one of the Jewels in Indra's net 
'reflects all others' ". This is the ideal case only such as the case 
where we can consider monads to have a global pre-established harmony! 
There is a difference between assuming that a harmony exists and 
thinking about how it is that such a harmony is possible. Leibniz did 
only the former, I am asking questions of the latter: How is a 
pre-ordained harmony possible?!
Julian Barbour made the same mistake as Leibniz and had no idea, in 
the conversation that I had with him, why I was asking him "how it is 
that Time Capsules came to have a best-matching?". When I told him that 
his best-matching was an example of a computation of an NP-hard problem, 
he seemed to be dumbfounded, not having any idea what I was talking 
about and yet he explicitly bemoaned how long it took for his computer 
to run a Best-matching for a simple example of a time capsule.  Geee!

Re: Re: One cannot have 1p if there is no observer.

2012-12-08 Thread Richard Ruquist
Stephan,

I do assume simultaneity within the monads for the very reasons you
specify plus a few more like it makes Cramer's Transactional Analysis
instantaneous and Feymann's QED as well. Quantum Electrodynamics is
the most accurate theory compared to experiment extant yet is based on
particles coming back from the future. Simultaneity, either because of
individual monad mapping of the universe or their collective BEC
processing solves the QED problem and makes a 1p only universe
possible as you so eloquently point out. However, in my theory
simultaneity is at the level of a hypothesis even though I present
arguments supporting its possibility.

My understanding is that physical refers to entities in public space. For 
an entity to persist through time requires some kind of private memory and 
experience, which I would not call nonphysical but rather sensory.

If you have sensory physics, you don't need literal photons or electrons as 
they are the misinterpreted quantitative representations of sensory events 
through time which give rise to public space. Spacetime is nothing more 
than scopes which limit sensory perception and motor participation. 
Spacetime is not the ground of being, rather it is the gaps within which 
the Absolute monad subdivides into countless interactive local monads.

Hi Richard Ruquist 

Entities are either in spacetime (physical), 
or outside of spacetime (nonphysical).

Quanta are outside of spacetime (as nonphysical probability fields)
until detected or they hit a barrier, which puts them inside of
spacetime (they become physical such as a photon or electron),
since in that case one can assign a location to them at a specific time.

Mapping refers to the perception of the monads.
The string theory monads exist in space
but have properties that effectively
put them outside of spacetime.
They are not simply ideas
if string theory is correct.

I would say that monads are more like persons than ideas. They don't refer 
to substance, substance is how monads represent each other, and they do 
that through the invention of sensory-motor interruption: spacetime.

Hi Richard Ruquist 

You still don't understand. You're confusing the map 
(the monads, which you can think of as ideas or information) 
with the territory (physical space).

It is the corporeal bodies of substances that the monads refer to, 
not the monads themselves, are distributed in space, but the monads are 
not. They are just ideas, which as always are outside of spacetime.

Roger does not understand my argument that the monads of string theory
are effectively inextended despite they being uniformly distributed
throughout the universe at a density of 10^90/cc because each monad
maps the entire universe instantly and they collectively form a BEC.
In addition they collectively possess Peano cosmic consciousness so
that there is no need for a supreme monad. Richard

Hi Richard Ruquist

You still don't understand inextended variables. Since 1p
is inextended (it involves consciousness), 1p has no size,
so it could include an infinite number of universes.

Re: One cannot have 1p if there is no observer.

Dear Richard,

How would one prove that all observations that that 1p has are 
mutually consistent? Unless you assume that the speed of light is 
infinite, and thus there exists a unique simultaneity (or absolute and 
uniform variation of the rate of sequencing of events) for all observed 
events, mutual consistency is impossible. This implies that there cannot 
exist a singular 1p for "the entire universe". It is for this reason 
that I reject the 'realist' approach to ontology and epistemology and am 
trying to develop an alternative.
Think about how it is that a Boolean Algebra, which is known to be 
the faithful logical structure representing a 'classical' universe' (not 
'the universe'!), is found to be Satisfiable.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boolean_satisfiability_problem

"In computer science, satisfiability (often written in all capitals or 
abbreviated SAT) is the problem of determining if the variables of a 
given Boolean formula can be assigned in such a way as to make the 
formula evaluate to TRUE. Equally important is to determine whether no 
such assignments exist, which would imply that the function expressed by 
the formula is identically FALSE for all possible variable assignments. 
In this latter case, we would say that the function is unsatisfiable; 
otherwise it is satisfiable. For example, the formula a AND b is 
satisfiable because one can find the values a = TRUE and b = TRUE, which 
make (a AND b) = TRUE. To emphasize the binary nature of this problem, 
it is frequently referred to as Boolean or propositional satisfiability.


SAT was the first known example of an NP-complete problem. That briefly 
means that there is no known algorithm that efficiently solves all 
instances of SAT, and it is generally believed (but not proven, see P 
versus NP problem) that no such algorithm can exist. Further, a wide 
range of other naturally occurring decision and optimization problems 
can be transformed into instances of SAT."


It seems to me that the content of any 1p that is real must be at 
least a solution to a SAT problem.

Good point. If electrons are used in the two-split experiment a brick wall 
probably wouldn't do, you'd need a metal wall. Brick is a pretty good insulator 
so you'd end up with 2 small negatively charged spots on the wall in slightly 
different places; 

How would you get two charged spots?  Would each have charge -e/2?  The 
experiment was originally done with photographic film, so that each electron 
ionized a silver halide atom resulting in a silver spot on the film.  Now it's 
usually down is some kind of detector that amplifies the effect of each 
electron.  Neither one has anything to do with destroying the electron.


the walls would not be the same and so the 2 universes would not be the same 
and so they would not merge. However if it was a metal wall the electrons would 
just join the general sea of free electrons in the metal and there is no way 
even in theory to tell one electron from another. So the walls would have the 
same charge and mass. 


But in an entangled electron pair experiment (EPR type) detecting the path of 
one electron destroys the interference pattern on the other leg.  But also just 
absorbing one electron destroys the interference on the other leg.  To maintain 
the interference you have to absorb the electron at the focal point of a lens 
so that you not only don't detect the which-way information, you erase it.
