Ontology
What is it, really?
Of all the sections in Signpost, this one is the most likely to be a delusion. It presents the Ontology of Pan Intentionalism. Pan Intentionalism is a form of Russlian Panpsychism. The particles expand to waves in a field. Is God the field?
For any Ontological theory there must be assumptions. Here are mine:
-
There is only one Reality
-
There is only one Now
-
There is only one Me
A physicist goes where experiments take him, a philosopher goes where logic takes him, and a mathematician goes where equations take him. And the problems with Quantum Mechanics are not in the equations: collapse of the waveform is not in the equations, in the equations time is symmetric.
For example, the second one leaves the possibility of advance action, and with advance action non-locality isn’t necessary. Why leave out negative time?
Something else I saw was the way Physicists, to me quite arbitrarily, threw away negative roots of equations as if they had no meaning. Yes, on the surface they don’t have meaning: what WOULD the meaning of negative time or space be?
Yet so much gets explained if ALL roots are included.
I guess I am basically Pythagorean – I believe that mathematics is a separate reality.
In college a physics professor offered me a way to complete the class: write a 5000 word essay on “The Philosophical Implications of Entropy”. I didn’t complete it then, but I would like to complete it now. Just like Signpost, the essay has a title: “The Other Side Of Infinity”. Just like Signpost, it has an opening line: “An infinite dark container, a cube in time and space, contains perpetual motion”.
