This is a cosmological view of the universe. As you can see by this slide (created by the folks at the Discovery channel doing a piece on dark energy), scientists believe that there are so-called dark forces and dark matter in the universe. What I want you to take away from this slide is the notion of that apparent, yet "dark" force that constrains matter and repels energy as part of the cosmological invariance that is applicable to the global symmetry I am describing here. What I want to demonstrate in this presentation is a view from the expanding, recursive and encircling Organismic Field of Consciousness.
The spectral and circular hierarchy of my Organismic Field of Consciousness. Take note of the electromagnetic field permeating these dimensions, in my view. In the course of this presentation I will correlate these spectral dimensions of consciousness to the various orders of existence which which almost everyone ought be familiar.
So what we have is the continuous global symmetry of structure and function. This is a unity: a complementarity of components and elements to the genre of a poietic network revealing the universe itself as an autopoietic organism whose components are structures and functions. On the left we have cell structure that is the foundation of biophysical structures and on the right is the organismal function. The human body is a closed circulatory system. The central nervous systems (CNS) is a closed system open only to the body and its sensibilities.
This is way of looking at the epigenetic spectrum of creation, of everything -- in terms of spectra or orders. This chart (spanning two slides) represents my thinking about the evolution of the organismal core of consciousness. I made the first slide more than two years ago -- there have been countless revisions and I still absorb new insight by contemplating the cells and the connections between the coding medium and its entelechy (the realization of potential). The chart correlates cognitive states given in terms of orders of existence, to the spectral hierarchy of consciousness shown in the opening slide, and to the information passed between or entangling the orders, with each other, in a recursive and circular way. Epigenetic simply means that the spectral order was formed later than the big bang. I am not a biologist but I find it necessary to adopt their language to describe organismic poiesis for obvious reasons. I urge any biologist reading this to contact me if I am misappropriating terms inappropriate to the activities being described. With that said, the two pair of spiraling strands might represent genetic code or a quantum wave representing two pairs of symmetry. These pairs were discovered by Dr. Tom Adi; a computer scientist. He found symmetry to be the base of understanding almost everything we want to know about (i.e., problems or entities, who solutions or essence, we can easily recognize (once they are pointed out)). As this chart shows the highest order is the social order. This correlates to the functional sphere of consciousness as seen on the previous slide If you read the slide from the bottom (of this slide) going up the columns, you will notice how the lower level prepare the way for the level above. In this slide, the lowest level is the physical layer, corresponding to the relativity of the physical universe and the relational sphere of consciousness.
These three layers correspond to the very early stages of the big bang. I also consider them to represent micro, meso and macro levels of existence. The words in these cells are rather speculative, but as in the previous slide, there are suggested validity tests for these ideas. I am not sure any of this can ever be proven, but we should try to falsify it. If we cannot falsify it, we must accept it as a way understanding one's existence and as means of transcending the present state of existence by seeking more holistic outcomes.
This slide shows how I see the descending spheres of consciousness, introduced at the onset, correspond to Adi's elementary processes. These are poietic processes. They are the processes humans use to create the world -- to create social existence as we know it today. There three elementary processes: Assignment, Manifestation and Containment. These three elementary processes can be combined in three ways, giving us a 'powerset' of poietic processes. This chart briefly describes the realizations (interpretations) Adi and I have made of these abstract cognitive processes (that individual homo spaiens (in general) cannot fail to recognize)..
Here is Adi's Mind-Set. You see here the English language PHONETIC alphabet mapped onto the production processes (on the left; labelled Seed/Stock) producing ideas (words/concepts in red). Across the top are the four columns corresponding to the structural-functional symmetry (labelled according to the conditions that correlate to ideas on the plane of biophysical functions) and the symmetry of structures to the right yielding the force of impelling or compelling ideas conditioned thereupon. Now consider the polarity of the afferent/efferent pathways as standing in relation to the CNS. The ideas in the afferent column represent restraint as in the restraining (electromagnetic) force when a negative and positive pole are near to each other. The ideas in the efferent column represent the force that repels when two electromagnetic poles of the same sign are near to one another (in respect to the CNS of the organism). One the other side the symmetry of impelling and compelling influences represent ideas of willing (inner) constraint in the former, and the strain and stress of ideas of (unwilling) and external/outer distressed or applied constraint, in the latter. The complementary class of these two independent asymmetrical sets is a supersymmetry: it is the form or image of the supersymmetric unity of a complementarity. As I see it, this is how the human being is connected to the Organismic Unity that is the poietic Universe of Humanity. We symbolize or represent Its ontogeny. You and I are components in the poiesis imaging Its present particulars. There. Do you feel it now. Do you feel that primordial propinquity? The proximal meaning of a unified primordial organism.
