The integration of natural science and spirituality is accomplished by putting consciousness into the equations of the quantized relativistic model of reality. This approach, with a quantum calculus based on the precise empirical data provided by the Large Hadron Collider, leads to the discovery of gimmel, the non-physical third form that must exist in addition to mass and energy, in order for there to be a stable universe.

PUTTING CONSCIOUSNESS INTO THE EQUATIONS PARTS 4 & 5

THE ROLE OF MATHEMATICS IN
INVESTIGATING THE NATURE OF REALITY (PART 4)

Mathematical Platonism:

Some scientists, when thinking about the nature of reality, make
a distinction between the Platonic 40 and Aristotelian
worldviews 41 : The Platonic
view, a revision of which we ascribe to, is that the universe is the physical
manifestation of a partly hidden, deeply mathematical reality; while the
Aristotelian view is that mathematics is simply an invention of the human mind,
developed as a tool used to process direct observations and measurements of the
material universe. Michael Rowan-Robinson, Professor of Astrophysics at
Imperial College, London, has articulately expressed his belief in the
Aristotelian view in his well-written presentation of current observational
cosmology, “The Nine Numbers of the
Cosmos” 42. :

[The] “Platonic view, that the universe is a
manifestation of some kind of ideal, mathematical form, is very fashionable
today. Some of its proponents are so astounded by this insight that they are
driven to a mystical interpretation. This deep mathematical structure is God,
or the mind of God, or is evidence for a creator. But, why isn’t this insight,
that the universe is deeply mathematical, sufficient in itself? The additional
mystical interpretation doesn’t seem to add anything. There is, anyway, an
alternative to this Platonic view, namely that we should think of mathematics
as simply an invention of the human mind, which we use as a tool to model our
limited perceptions of the universe… This Aristotelian view, which I share, sees
the universe as something we try to characterize, measure, describe.”

Mathematical Platonism 43
incorporates three theses: The
existence, abstractness and independence of mathematical objects. This
means that had there not been any intelligent agents, or had their language,
thought, or practices been different, there would still have been mathematical
objects. Platonism must be
distinguished from the view of Plato in history. ‘Platonism’ is simply inspired
by Plato's famous theory of abstract and eternal Forms and Platonism is quite
independent of its original historical inspiration. 43. But the Mathematical Platonism we describe is
broader than the purely metaphysical ‘Platonism’ because we attempt in our
models to incorporate mathematics directly into science recognizing that we can
not only apply it empirically but use the equations of consciousness as part of
the model.

Platonism entails that
reality extends far beyond the physical world and includes objects which aren't
part of the causal and spatiotemporal order studied by the physical sciences.
Mathematical Platonism argues beyond naturalistic theories of knowledge. If
philosophical analysis revealed mathematics to have some strange and surprising
consequences, it would be unattractive simply to reject mathematics. With
respect, the mathematics we present below are far beyond naturalistic
mathematics, and extends to empirical particle physics and postulates beyond
that. Therefore, Mathematical Platonism is very powerful as presented below.

As proponents of the Triadic
Rotational Vortical Distinction Paradigm (TDVP), Drs. Vernon Neppe and Edward
Close differ markedly from Rowan-Robinson. TDVP aligns to some extent with the
Platonic worldview, except that is applied not only philosophically, but mainly
based on empirical inductive and deductive reasoning and applying feasibility
as a method of the Philosophy of Science. 41; 44
We are not therefore ‘astounded’ that the universe is deeply mathematical, - we
expected it. And we are not ‘driven’ to ‘mystical interpretation’; we see it as
natural, satisfying, and more to the point, explanatory. It explains many
things that the materialistic Aristotelian worldview cannot. It is the
materialistic Aristotelians who are astounded, and see speculation concerning a
conscious substrate as ‘mystical’. The insight is ‘sufficient in itself’, only
if we choose not to look any farther. It doesn’t seem to add anything only if
you are content to ignore the clues in relativity and quantum physics that cry
out for explanation. It doesn’t seem to occur to materialistic scientists
steeped in Cartesian dualism that if there were not some kind of (Platonic, if
you must) deeper reality, their mathematical descriptions would not work. The
challenge to science is to explore the deeper reality. Reality is ‘mystical’ only if you don’t seek to understand it.

Mathematics is not just an abstract
human artifact. Far from it, the deep logic of mathematics is invariant because
it actually reflects the true underlying logical structure of reality. The
basic axioms and theorems of mathematics remain unchanged when dimensional
transformations are applied. Thus the logic of mathematics is a prime example
of invariance.

The only thing that is an artifact of
the human mind is the notation developed to convey the mathematic and
dimensional logic underlying reality. While it seems that we may invent
whatever mathematical procedures we wish, the same invariant mathematical laws
would be discovered by any sentient being. They would then be expressed in
whatever symbolic language might be applicable.

All mathematical reasoning and
description is based on the conscious drawing of distinctions, starting with
the distinction of self from other, which then allows the drawing of three
types of distinctions in the “other”: distinctions of extent, content and
impact, which are measurable, contain meaning and purpose, and impact on other
objects. This reflects the very basic form of mathematical logic which Close
developed and we’ve now amplified, the Calculus of Distinctions 10. It is combined
with Euclidean and hyper-dimensional geometry, requires a nine-dimensional
reality containing the basic “stuff” of the universe, and provides the
framework for describing the elementary particles that appear to be the
building blocks of the physical universe. This is the logical extension of very
important work started by Hermann Minkowski, Albert Einstein, Georg Cantor,
Theodor Kaluza, Oskar Klein, and others, who made significant progress
explaining physical phenomena in the framework of multidimensional geometry36; 8.

The third form

Based on the natural structure of
number theory and mathematical invariants relating to dimensional domains, we
developed TDVP as a paradigm that describes reality as consisting of the
substances of mass and energy interacting within nine finite dimensions
embedded within infinite domains containing a potentially infinite number of
finite logical patterns. Based on clues from relativity and quantum physics,
these domains contain the logical organizing structure that guides the
evolution of a stable universe. We hypothesize that the infinite substrate may
constitute consciousness itself with space and embedded within it, and mass
energy also being contained within this infinite consciousness container (which
we call “gimmel”) 12.

The brilliant physicist Wolfgang
Pauli worked on developing five- and six-dimensional models until 1953, but
didn’t publish his findings because he was bothered by the appearance of what
he called “…rather unphysical shadow
particles.”5 Since Pauli’s , science has discovered that just over
95% of the substance of reality consists of some sort of “shadow stuff”,
presently called “dark energy” and “dark matter” 45-48and,
not directly detectable through the physical senses or extensions of them. 12

The
mathematics and dimensionometry of TDVP indicate that a third form of the
“stuff” of reality is actually necessary in the sub-atomic structure of reality
for there to be any stable elements in the physical universe; i.e. in order for
there to be something rather than nothing.

The logic of TDVP also suggests that
this third form of substance may be imbued with the qualities we associate with
consciousness. It is interesting to note that late in his life, Pauli, who was
regarded as the most brilliant mind of his day by many physicists, including no
less brilliant minds than Albert Einstein and Max Born, dreamt of “unifying
matter and spirit within the world of physics.”5

The untestable models of contemporary physics

In mainstream physical science, some progress is being made in
multi-dimensional concepts with the acceptance of as a fourth dimension, and
the concept of multiple “curled-up” space-like” and “-like” dimensions of
various string theories, which, unfortunately, remain untestable 19-22; 49.
Progress in developing testable multidimensional models with consciousness
components has been hindered by the acceptance in the academic community of
Materialistic Monism which excludes consciousness from the paradigm of physical
science and has promoted an increasingly materialistic trend in scientific
thinking in recent years. Also, formal education has become institutionalized
and has prevented most mainstream physicists from looking outside the box of
materialism for the link between consciousness and the physical universe, i.e.
between the dimensionometric domains of mind and matter. In the established
scientific disciplines, students who ask about the ‘higher intelligence’ spoken
of by former scientists like Newton, Planck and Einstein, are often ridiculed
by egotistic professors, and told that such ‘mystical’ concepts have no place
in science.

TDVP and its pertinence

Guided by the mathematical structure
of number theory, Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometry, particle physics data,
and new mathematical tools created for the purpose of including the direct
interaction of conscious entities with objective reality at the quantum level,
we have developed TDVP, a model of reality that includes spinning elementary
distinctions existing in nine finite dimensions embedded in a conscious
substrate that contains all of the logical patterns, reflected and/or
potentially reflected in the structure of the physical universe. Within the
theoretical framework of TDVP, we are able to explain a number of phenomena that
have remained inexplicable in the standard model of particle physics for
decades, including the stability of the triadic combination of quarks 1, the
intrinsic spin 28 of Fermions24; 50,
the Cabibbo mixing angle26, and the
step-by-step development of the structures of the Elements of the Periodic
Table1.

TDVP is a paradigm shift that
explains why there is something rather than nothing. And, it expands the
“Standard Model” of physics 3; 51 to include a new theoretical
basis for the biological, psychological and life sciences, as well as for
little-understood and rare phenomena like remote viewing, out-of-body
experiences (OBEs) and other so-called paranormal or psi phenomena. 529 It even provides
for a better understanding of spiritual experiences that have been occasionally
documented to impinge upon physical reality under certain conditions.

Not surprisingly, TDVP also requires a significant expansion of
our understanding of mathematics in general. In 1986, Close realized that
George Spencer Brown’s Calculus of Indications, presented in “Laws of Form”53, re-uniting for
the first time, imaginary numbers with symbolic logic, and thus re-aligning the
algebras of logic with mathematics, was the first step toward integrating
number theory, geometry and mathematical physics into a comprehensive logical
framework capable of describing and explaining physical, chemical, biological,
neurological, psychological, and even spiritual phenomena.

We adapted Brown’s Laws of Form, creating the Calculus of
Distinctions (CoD), a comprehensive logical tool for dealing with the functions
of consciousness, and applied it to some long-standing cosmological puzzles.
Some of the results were published in “Infinite Continuity, a Theory Unifying
Relativity and Quantum Physics”35 in 1990, and in
“Transcendental Physics, Integrating the search for Truth”36. By introducing
appropriate additional notational structure, the Calculus of Distinctions was
refined to become the Calculus of Dimensional Distinctions (CoDD) in 2003 38. From 2008 to the
present, we amplified this mathematical tool, recognizing it as the logical
basis integrating all mathematics and applications to physical and spiritual
reality has been systematically applied to develop the mathematical basis of
TDVP. 10

THE
ILLUSION OF ONLY MATERIAL REALITY (PART 5)

Clues from relativity and quantum
physics suggest that the time-honored idea that matter, energy, space, and time
exist separately is incorrect. It appears that the macroscopic forms of matter,
space and time we perceive through our physical senses are subtle illusions,
although, as Einstein said about reality, "Reality
is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one. " 54 TDVP is built upon,
and an extension of, the monumental works of a number of intellectual giants
like Pythagoras, Fermat, Leibniz, Poincare, Cantor, Gödel, and Minkowski; but
most especially, it is built upon on the deep insights of Max Planck and Albert
Einstein.

Max Planck said: "As a man who has devoted his whole life to the most clear-headed
science, to the study of matter, I can tell you as the result of my research
about atoms this much: There is no matter as such! All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a
force. We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and
intelligent Mind. This Mind is the matrix of all matter."55

And, Albert Einstein said: “Space time is not necessarily something to
which one can ascribe a separate existence.”56 And “I want to know how God created this world.
I am not interested in this or that phenomenon, in the spectrum of this or that
element. I want to know his thoughts. The rest are details.” (p202) 5758. Einstein further
noted: “Rafinert ist der Herr Gott, aber
Bohaft ist er nicht!” (“The Lord God is clever, but he is not malicious.”)
Taken together, these two statements reveal that Einstein’s science was rooted
in a deeply spiritual understanding of reality. It appears that he believed
that the universe, as a manifestation of God’s thoughts, is very complex, but
understandable.

These statements, from two of the
most brilliant scientists who spent their entire lives studying physical
reality, reveal the important conclusion that the common perceptions of matter,
energy, space, and time, conveyed to our brains by the physical senses, are
subtle illusions! And both of them conclude that the reality behind these
subtle illusions is aconscious, intelligent linkage.

It has long been known that the
appearance of solid matter is an
illusion, in the sense that there appears to be far more empty space than
substance in an atom. But now we learn that the matter of sub-atomic particles
and the “empty” space around them are also illusory. This is, however,
consistent with quantum physics experiments that bear out the conclusion
resulting from the resolution of the EPR paradox59 with the empirical
demonstration of John Bell’s inequality60-62
by experimental physicist Alain Aspect63 and many others 61; 64 that the particles and/or
waves of the objective physical reality perceived through our senses cannot be
said to exist as localized objects until they impact irreversibly on a series
of receptors constituting a distinct observation or measurement by a conscious
entity.

We must be clear, however, that the
linkage to consciousness does not validate subjective solipsist theories like
that of Bishop Berkeley65; 66678 as one might
think; rather, it reveals a deeper, multi-dimensional reality, only partially
revealed by the physical senses. It suggests that reality is like a fathomless, dynamic ocean that we can’t see except
for the white caps. The difference is that the particles and waves, analogous
to the white caps, only appear in response to our conscious interaction with
the ocean of the deeper reality.

Agreeing with Einstein, TDVP seeks to
reveal that all things are, in fact connected to, and part of that deeper ocean
of reality, only momentarily appearing to be separated from it 6. This apparent
separation, perpetuated by the conscious drawing of the distinction of ‘self’
from ‘other’ and the drawing of distinctions in self and other, allows us to
interact with and draw distinctions in the ‘other’. TDVP posits that, although
ostensibly separate in the 3S-1t world of our physical perceptions (3
dimensions of space in one moment [the present] in time), we are never truly
separated from the whole of reality, but remain connected at deeply embedded
multi-dimensional levels.

There are some in the current
mainstream of science who do see the
universe as deeply mathematical, but even those scientists seem to shy away
from including consciousness in their equations. The Swedish physicist, Max
Tegmark, concludes that the ultimate nature of reality is mathematical structure 68. In reaching this
conclusion, however, he strips mathematical description of any intent or
purpose: “A mathematical structure is an
abstract set of entities with relations between them. The entities have no
‘baggage’: they have no properties whatsoever except these relations.”68 (p. 231)
In other words, he still does what most mainstream materialistic scientists do:
he throws the baby out with the bath water.

It is critically important to
separate science from fantasy and wishful thinking, but consciousness is an
extremely important part of reality and should not be excluded from the
equations of science just because it complicates the picture.

The role of TDVP

From the broader viewpoint of TDVP, it is not surprising that
mainstream science, focused, as it is, on the limiting philosophy of
reductionist materialism, has lost touch its metaphysical roots, and thus
cannot explain how it is that a large part of reality is not available to us
for direct observation, but makes its existence known only indirectly through
quantum phenomena like non-locality and quantum entanglement, as well as the
near light-speed vortical spin of fermions7; 6928; 70
and the effects of so-called dark matter and dark energy 7; 12; 69
in the rotation of spiral galaxies45

TDVP also answers the real need to
explain why we sometimes catch glimpses of a broader reality in rare
extra-corporeal (out-of-body) experiences and other documented psi phenomena. The current mainstream
scientific paradigm cannot explain so-called anomalous phenomena and the
“missing” portions of reality because there is no place in its formulation for
phenomena that may involve more than matter and energy interacting in
three-dimensions of space and one dimension of time. TDVP, on the other hand,
reveals a multi-dimensional reality and the need to recognize a third form of
reality, not measurable as mass or energy, in the equations of science. As we
shall see, TDVP provides a theoretical basis for a much deeper understanding of
reality, as well as providing the appropriate tools for exploring it.

Refutation of atomic materialism

In other publications, we
have refuted materialism at the atomic level mathematically 1. This is because
protons plus neutrons plus electrons alone, or quarks plus electrons alone
cannot form the stable integral combinations that we call atoms and molecules.
There has to be a third substance. 1 Without extra TRUE
units of “gimmel”, volumetrically atoms cannot exist as stable combinations of
integer multiples of TRUE units. 11

Effectively, this means that
our current perception of any atom or element without gimmel, the mass-less,
energy-less third substance, most likely linked with consciousness, will not
provide an atom that can exist for any length of time, which is why the pure
Standard Model of reductionist materialist Physics has to be incorrect. 1 Moreover, although
we’re dealing with gimmel here, even without applying gimmel calculations, the
mathematical derivation cannot result in stable atoms even when applied either
volumetrically or based on mass calculations. 1 Effectively the
quantal concept of the atom existing a universe of pure materialism is simply
incorrect because without a third substance it cannot be an integer.
