Chapter 36: Reality Defined

Reality is a very important subject because it affects everyone, much like entanglement, in that reality is necessarily inter-linking all living creatures and that means an inherent complexity, so, are there any simple laws that might help us understand reality better.

 

(1) Reality should be continuous and complete at all times, otherwise magic (non-reality) could occur.

 

Magic is by definition, something strange and not understood, and is of course, a ‘lack’ of reality. If the cause of unusual events happening or appearing is known, it becomes part of our reality and is not magic.

 

(2) Reality is a necessary and sufficient condition for a steady state of Survival of the Fittest to exist in a population.

 

Firstly, reality is necessary for a steady state of Survival of the Fittest because every organism in a community has to have an adequate ability to sense another organism otherwise it is an untapped food source at some time which will lead to its extinction. If a prey animal cannot sense the approach of a predator until it is too late, it becomes an easy meal.

 

Both the predator and prey have to be able to compute the logical chance of the success of an attack, to manage their energy, and the body of each has to, within its capability (componentization) change the body’s nerve speed, defences and physical attributes to ensure that the breeding stock remain reasonably safe. The old, the young and the unwanted males are sacrificed, by different methods, to the predators before the breeders.

 

Secondly, reality is sufficient for a steady state of Survival of the Fittest because each organism is sufficiently aware of the steady state around it, and through predation and evolution, each organism will evolve to enable a steady state to continue.

 

(3) Organisms have the same type of brain and senses.

 

The brain is a ‘component’ because it has to be able to generate ‘brain-power’ when needed for the organism to survive in a hostile world. If the brain cannot produce what is needed, the organism is eaten and removed from the gene pool. In other words, the formation of the brain has to be such that there is excess capacity if it is needed, but not add weight or other cost if it is not needed, and thus the architecture of the brain contributes to survival of the fittest brain. The body is composed of many components that fit together in the same way, such as hips, knees, livers and so on and have been honed to ‘do the job’ without breaking down and also have the minimum weight.

 

A quotation was given earlier that the features that determine the organisms success in a changing environment, such as height, weight, skin colour, hair colour etc can change easily to accommodate changes in climate, hunting methods, sexual selection, tree cover etc. At this point a digression becomes necessary, in the light of the above. If we look at the physical form of passers-by, they come in all shapes and sizes and reflect ‘genetic diversity’. If we look at those same people, each as a ‘sack’ of components, the ‘sacks’ are all the same! So, why are these components breaking down, when the definition of a component is something that doesn’t break down. The answer is, if you mistreat it! And people are mistreating their bodies with lack of exercise and ‘poor’ food. Just as cigarettes and alcoholic drinks attract a hight tax because of the damage that they do and the resultant burden on the medical system, isn’t it logical that there should be medical co-payment on ‘lifestyle’ diseases?

 

In the light of the above, predators will rid us of these people with ‘lifestyle’ diseases, but we have exterminated the predators and are spending huge amounts of resources to keep these people alive! This is another example of reality being stressed by human consumption and population. Survival of the Best incorporates ‘built-in’ predators that work as ‘forward indicators’ to suppress the desire for these people to be born. Think of the social security expense, the medical expense, the prison, police and courtroom expenses that could be turned to better use.

 

Species have evolved and kept the same brain and senses from those that they evolved from, as well as the fact that the brain is a component, and, as has been mentioned earlier, the basic brain stayed the same, but the cerebrum increased in a progression from fish to humans. Also, the hindbrain and cerebellum were the ‘type’ of brain used in the ‘lower’ animals, and further back to the hindbrain as we move back in time.

 

Looking at this statement from a logical perspective that reality initially caused all brains to be the same, and as evolution progressed the ‘original’ brain was still there. The Rule of Life says that there is ‘no going back’ and it is necessary that we can’t go back! The ‘first’ brain, in some form, is still buried within our hindbrain, and with evolution, ‘new’ brains or components were added to it, such as cerebellum, cerebrum etc.

 

This is the ‘logic’ that binds us all together, that our brains can ‘communicate’ (logically, at least) with every other organism on the planet. It is interesting that bacteria can be considered one species as they ‘swap’ DNA. The first sentence of this paragraph, in my opinion, bears re-reading, as we are looking at quantum entanglement from a different perspective. Quantum entanglement inter-locks EVERY particle in the universe, and reality interlocks every living organism into the logic of reality. Truly, life has evolved a reality!

 

(4) All organisms can be eaten and recycled.

 

I have read that all organisms evolved from one individual and that is why everything can (effectively) eat everything else. This may be true, but then it may not, so according to Occam’s razor (the Mathematics of the Mind) it would be simpler to use a method that does not produce a probability of being wrong. I believe that another answer is more logical and that is simply that life would be moribund or unworkable if resources were unavailable. Back to the multiverse.

 

As with the multiverse, we are only here because ‘things’ work so that we are here. In other words, we wouldn’t be here if the elements weren’t recycled. Everything is ultimately recycled through movement of the continental plates and the continental crust being melted and recycled through volcanic eruptions etc.

 

If there were two ‘strains’ of organisms that were unable to be eaten by the other, there would still occur organisms in each strain that would reduce their remains to individual elements, so it could be said that the two strains are logically, edible!

 

(5) The brain needs to be in contact logically with the universe and ‘measure’ something, otherwise it is nothing more than a piece of matter subject to the ‘logic’ of ‘completion’ (un-measurement).

 

I believe that consciousness started with (say) the first smell receptor, that ‘said’ that food is available, and the mind/brain had to make a decision ‘am I hungry enough to leave this safe place to feed where there may be predators’? To make this decision requires the fifth dimension, which is logic.

 

Looking at this last sentence a little closer, whether the animal is hungry is a logic, and if it is not a logic, it is an iteration of success, according to survival of the Fittest in the past, and both are mathematical and True. I believe that there is no cross-over point because logic and iteration produce the same result. This is not a paradox, but an evolution, like the chicken and the egg. I mentioned this before as a mind behind the Mathematics of the Mind versus iteration.

 

Space-time has no ‘decision’ or logic dimension, and as has been stated repeatedly, ‘measurement’ is a logical act and puts our mind into contact with the fifth dimension. This is the experiment where the distribution of photons hitting a screen changes when the detectors are turned on and a mind knows or ‘can determine pre-knowledge of an event’. Notice that this ‘links in’ with the property of a probability space that ‘time passes’ or ‘time evolves’ (not a ‘time interval’) and allows logical causation to be retained.

 

I think that the easiest way to absorb/remember/consider this question of ‘measurement’ is as previously stated. If matter changes from one potential to another without intervention, there is no measurement and logic is not involved. In other words, the universe acts in a ‘mechanical’ way. If a measurement is involved, a ‘logic event’ occurs, a measuring ‘stick’ has to be used and a ‘potential event’ occurs. Measurement can be mechanistic, but it can be logical because I can say 1+1=2,which is true. Again, the mechanistic shades into logic through iteration.

 

Just as the concept of componantization was considered before (for example, the atom or the concept of the fittest to breed) to be a logic machine, can we comprehend measurement as a combination of the mechanistic and logic, that is, a logic machine? I think that we can because every (real) experiment must have a mind and a procedure (that is possible to construct), and we could call it a ‘logic machine’ that produces a result.

 

(6) Why do we all see the same things?

 

The obvious answer is that ‘that is what is there’, which implies that what we are seeing has an existence, but I proved earlier that ‘we evolved a reality out of the probability of existence’. Two proofs are given in chapter 32 that our universe is a probability (of existence) space and doesn’t exist. That doesn’t mean that we don’t have a reality, because ‘we evolved a reality!

 

Again, the obvious answer is that it is simpler to assume that we exist by Occam’s razor, but if we exist, where do we exist in, who made us and so on into more complexity. Clearly that is not the way to go, unless you wish to believe in a Deity. If you do not believe in a Deity, the answer is quite simple, and has been examined, above. Firstly, consciousness/measurement links us to the universe and determines the state that we see, and secondly, we all have a mind/brain that is linked to every other organism and that allows us all to sense the presence of other organisms, to a certain extent. The exceptions are the very small, and we have evolved an immune system to deal with them, the isolated, parasites etc.

 

The short answer is that if we didn’t see the same things we wouldn’t have a reality, which has been discussed above.

 

1. (7)  Artificial Intelligence and robots.Why do robots and artificial intelligence see our reality? I suggest that we have ‘created’ a reality for the robot, and the case becomes, as above, firstly, consciousness/measurement links us to the universe and determines the state that we see, and secondly, we have made the robot ‘in our image’, in the same way that it is believed by a large number of people that God made us ‘in his image’. In other words, the robot ‘sees’ the same range of frequencies that we do, ‘hears’ the same range as we do etc. simply because we would not know if the robot was reacting to something that we couldn’t see or hear etc. and that would be (potentially) disastrous! But, surely, that is where we started the chapter, that reality must be complete for all concerned, otherwise magic happens!

(8) Reality is one of three operators, Truth, Existence and Reality that I have used to turn the indeterminate into the determinate.

 

Existence is the simplest, but also the most stubbornly held view. Everyone from Descartes to the person in the street says ‘I think, therefore I exist’, but I believe that this is not true and what they are thinking is ‘that I am real’. This shows how good a job our body has done over 3 thousand million years, in making us believe that we ‘exist’, when we are ‘real’. I believe, and have previously proven, that we do not exist, but do exist in the probability (of existence) space. This probability space is the only space that gives us the dimensions that we need.

 

I have shown that the Mathematics of the Mind needs an operator to turn the indeterminate into the determinate, and that operator is the Logic of the Half-truth, which is: true, false, true some of the time and false the rest of the time and both true and false at the same time. This statement is a little ‘tricky’, in that it is more than it seems. Looking at the words in (8), above: reality, truth, indeterminate and determinate, how are they linked together?

 

Truth: is true/false

Indeterminate: is both true and false at the same time

Determinate: is true, false, true some of the time and false the rest of the time

Reality: true, false, true some of the time and false the rest of the time and both true and false at the same time. That is, that the logic of the Half-truth is complete and projects reality.

 

In other words, the Logic of the Half-truth is a reality operator because it is complete and contains ALL of the possibilities and so produces a reality, and that reality is OUR reality because the Mathematics of the Mind is the general mathematics of concepts as seem by OUR mind. This is comforting because it means that there is an ‘integrity’ in what we are doing.

 

(9) Reality is ‘getting along with everyone else’.

 

In all of the above, no mention was made of a ‘working’ relationship that we can use and say that I know what reality is. ‘Getting along with everyone else’ seems to me to sum up our reality. The ‘everyone else’ might include predators, but you know that if you are one of the ‘fittest’ you will have a lifetime (of an unknown length) and pass on your genes before being eaten.

 

‘Getting along with everyone else’ is the operator that evolution requires for a ‘steady state’, and should be applicable to whatever we examine with it, because of the Rule of Life. This simple statement should be the ‘key’ to unlocking the social sciences because it links each person with every other person and creature on the planet, as we would expect, because the statement is a reality.

 

(10) Reality and religion.

 

‘Religion’ has evolved over a long period of time. Firstly the ‘hard-wiring’ in the first organisms that evolved from Survival of the Fittest could be called ‘religion’ because it helps the organism survive. Over time, this hardwiring has progressed to learning from a parent whilst being protected and learning to survive. Over billions of years, something, that I am calling ‘religion’ was passed to the offspring to help them survive, whether hardwired or taught by the parents. Obviously, soft-wiring or ‘programming’ is better and more versatile.

 

This shows that it is necessary that every creature have a ‘creation myth’, and a quotation to that effect was given earlier. Creation myths of each tribe became ‘organized’ religion, and as has been quoted before, with a lot of bloodshed and the result is that only a few religions still exist. In spite of all the bloodshed, which is the opposite to the religions’ messages, why did it happen?

 

The answer, of course, is reality, or more precisely because there is more than one reality. The fighting is to find ‘one reality’! Reality is the reason that we need one religion, one colour, one dress code, one people and is the ultimate aim of this book, to limit human population, preserve the flora and fauna, manage global warming etc. Of course, as we have seen, realities can be separate in different populations. It is when they mix that fighting occurs.

 

The creation myths take in the second and third Laws of Life and, as mentioned above, reality is forcing a decrease in the number of religions. The Old Testament had its Ten Commandments, the New Testament said ‘love your neighbour’ and reality says ‘get along with your neighbour. Reality is fundamental and wide-reaching and its use might produce some surprises, which will be looked at in the next chapter.

 

postscript: ‘but what great and marvellous advances in biomedical sciences can we attribute to the quantum revolution? Let’s list them in order of their importance: It is a very short list – there haven’t been any.’ (The Biology of Belief, Bruce H. Lipton, p 79)

 

This quotation asks a pertinent question, which we can answer simply because quantum mechanics does not have a place in reality, and is the enemy of life and the reality that life has evolved. In fact, the indeterminacy of quantum mechanics equates to magic, which is what reality has got rid of through evolution as a basic requirement to survival.

 

The cell in all life must have a reality to survive and the cell is like a computer in that it must give the same result every time because it is an element that the body depends on. Remember that the mind/brain is a step above a computer because randomness or creativity/consciousness is ‘built-in’ due to the architecture that uses quantum mechanical induction to induce new action potentials (thoughts).
