Redshift as multi spectrum packets and threshold theory.
Would you have taken this road of discovery, if it hadn't been for the debt? Stepping outside the box becomes necessary when the box breaks.
A thought on how to get outside the ego, as well as many of the trappings of this reality, is to consider the point I made about time in yesterday's posting.
That as mobile organisms this sentient interface our body has with its situation functions as a sequence of perceptions, in order to navigate, so our sense of time is the present going past to future, when it's activity and change turning future to past.
So there is no dimension of time, because the past is consumed by the present, to inform and drive it. Causality and conservation of energy. Cause becomes effect.
The energy is conserved, because it manifests this presence. Creating time, temperature, pressure, color and sound, as frequencies and amplitudes, rates and degrees.
So the energy goes past to future, because the patterns generated come and go, future to past. Energy drives the wave, the fluctuations rise and fall. No tiny strings necessary.
Consciousness also goes past to future, while the perceptions, emotions and thoughts go future to past.
The digestive system processes the energy, feeding the flame, while the nervous system sorts the information, signals from the noise. With the circulation system as feedback in the middle.
Suggesting consciousness functions as an energy.
Science has the same problem with energy, as with consciousness, in that it can only be defined in terms of the forms it manifests.
Yet once you really just sit back and not project your own energy, but start to sense how others project themselves, it all does become a sentient light show.
Those "floaters" flitting across your vision are others connecting to your bubble. The classic heart shape is a floater, glowing red, with a line running through it, pulling it. Cupid's arrow.
They tend to be most evident driving, as everyone focuses on the space in front of them.
I remember as a child, laying on the porch and watching this ant, when it stopped, like it sensed something. Then I saw this tiny cone of awareness waving around with its antennae.
Given galaxies are energy radiating out, as structure coalesces in, there is a lot to develop here and you may find these two factors and the feedback between them, really do start to explain the dynamics of reality.
First of all, John, I see that just became a paid subscriber to System Failure. Thank you sincerely for that!
Second of all, your conception of time is very interesting. Have you ever heard Alan Watts' old canard about this? I think you'd like it.
We imagine that the present is the result of the past. That's certainly my default. But Watts' idea was that thinking of the present as the result of the past is like thinking that a ship's wake is propelling the ship.
Time is a big piece of the System Failure puzzle, so I'm going to have to meditate on this matter. I think I'll start by going back and rereading your last post.
At any rate, thank you for these incredible comments, John. Cheers!
The wake doesn't steer the boat, but it is residue and memory of the past consumed by the present.
The energy manifest in the fuel bunker is potential, the event of the ship is actual, the wake is both residual and the energy being distributed back into the environment, like the flap of the proverbial butterfly's wings.
So the energy is only presence, but goes past to future, because the patterns generated, the fuel, the state of the boat, the wake, are going future to past, like a wave rising and falling.
There are not many people out there willing to look too far under the surface, so I figured you deserve a boost and since I'm pretty much a hermit, a little cash will have to do.
Any ideas you want to run with, feel free.
If you get over to Medium, I mostly comment on others posts and try getting various balls rolling, though occasionally post articles.
One of the ones I cross posted to Substack is, The Webb is Cast.
Read that, then look up, "tiny red dots" at SciAm. They're seeing those galaxies outside the timeframe, but can't wrap their minds around anything outside the box.
Have you heard of the Delayed Choice Experiment, John? I'm guessing you probably have because you wrote here "the act of determination occurs as the present".
Essentially, it's a cosmic double slit experiment. In a normal double slit experiment, electrons flow through one of two apertures, and measuring which hole an electrons are flowing through collapses an interference pattern on a photo-sensitive screen beyond.
In the Delayed Choice Experiment, photons from a distant light source that bend around an intervening object by gravitational lensing can be made to act either as a particle or as a wave, depending on how they're measured here on Earth. Conventional wisdom suggests that those photons should have made their "choice" millions of years ago, as light takes time to reach Earth. But it seems the way we observe those photons in the present affects their past choice, reversing the flow of causality as we normally understand it.
Anyway, fascinating stuff. Thank you for all these amazing comments, John!
There is a lot to cover on that. Unfortunately the links I could post are not on my phone.
Carver Mead did an interview at American Spectator, getting into how particles are really just compact waves. From other sources, it's called a loading or threshold theory. That the quantization is an artifact of the detection.
I think I covered it a little bit in the essay on the Webb, that one way light does redshift over distance, is as multi spectrum packets, as the higher frequencies dissipate faster. Which would mean they are sampling a wave front, not detecting discreet photons that traveled billions of light years. My email is brodix at EarthLink dot net, if you want some links.
Hi Nathan. I tried posting a response to your comment on the Webb article, but it didn't go through. Worried they connected my two addresses.
Well that seemed to work.
Yeah, science gets suck in the same sociological ruts as every other field.
When it's best to just observe, than beating the head against the wall.
Nathan,

Late night thoughts on Alan's analogy;
The wake doesn't steer the boat, but it is residue and memory of the past consumed by the present.
The energy manifest in the fuel bunker is potential, the event of the ship is actual, the wake is both residual and the energy being distributed back into the environment, like the flap of the proverbial butterfly's wings.

I do remember that Alan Watts analogy.
There is a lot to be considered.
For one thing, the future is not pre-determined, because the act of determination occurs as the present.
The problem is that science and math tend to see their models as fundamental, rather than abstractions.
Epicycles were brilliant math, as a model of our geocentric view, but the conclusions, crystalline spheres, were lousy physics.
Much of modern physics is currently tripping over the same fallacy.
An interesting person to look up is Carver Mead. He is a computer pioneer and having worked his whole life at the quantum level, is very heretical.
