Abstract: the mind/brain appears to have created an Extinction Event in the Cambrian and it is doing so again, at the present time, and the problem is being caused by our lack of adequate tools of organization/management that we are trying to use top-down and which make more sense when viewed from a bottom-up prospective using the dimensions of a probability space [our universe]. The quantum/evolution – logic/gravity description of the universe produces a range of conditions/understanding that can be applied to every organization/society, and science, as practiced today, struck it lucky in a top-down approach that ‘proves the rule’ and its success shows how effective the application of the science of organization/management can be to solving the world’s problems and re-establishing a meaningful evolution through Plato’s politics. The mathematics of concepts requires relevance/relativity and assigned absolutes and indicates how a Unified Field Theory is derivable.

There have been many Ages: the Stone Age, Computer Age etc. and they all had a concept and context, where the concept is a product of the Age but the context was the fitting of that age into human history. The Mind is the greatest concept of all and occurred when single cells ‘contracted’ [in the placebo/nocebo effect] to join together to create a higher/more-useful mind/brain, and together with the lensed eyes in the Cambrian, I believe, caused a massive change to evolution through an extinction event that led to the formation of hard fossils that laid out the study of evolution.

 

The Cambrian could be called the Age of the Mind because of the swift change from soft bodied creatures that (literally) had to bump into each other for a predator/prey situation to occur, to teeth and other hard parts that came about as lensed eyes made forward-planning possible [the blossoming of the sixth dimension]. The Theory of Everything suggests that consciousness has always been with us, from the repetition of a falling apple through the consciousness of life to the mind/brain of humans. Unfortunately, the present Age of the Mind is creating another Extinction Event, similar to that of the Cambrian, but now we have the means to control it, and I believe that that means is the Selection of the Best (mathematics of concepts) [concept] and using Plato’s political system [context] to help effect it.

 

Our world is in a mess because we moved out of the reality of Survival of the Fittest [an iteration] to our own creation of farming, that I call Survival of the Best (mathematics) and mathematics is a special case of the mathematics of concepts and we used concepts without adequate context and consequently are heading towards Armageddon and that shows how problems can quickly occur [in only 10,000 years] when a special case is used instead of the general/workable case. An Extinction Event can be avoided using the mathematics of concepts and the provision of a goal [sixth dimension, absolute] because these are basic/fundamental requirements that need to be understood about an organization. A simple example is that science sets up an experiment [goal/concept/assigned absolute] and brings the results into a context/theory. Contrast this method to the promises of politicians, and their lack of suitable goals, and it is little wonder why the world is in a mess.

 

The mathematics of concepts is necessary to deal with the ‘soft’ sciences that can’t use the exactitude of mathematics and it took me years to develop this mathematics of concepts, only to find that it can be written elegantly as (a +/and b) =1 for concepts/measurements a and b, and the ‘+/and’ is shorthand for context/logic that forms a duality with concept/measurement. The problem with such simple relationships is that you have to realize what the concepts/contexts mean, and an example is that the basis/definition of quantum mechanics is to investigate every possibility. Another simple example, (a+b)=1 mathematically has no unique solution, and that solves Plato’s problem of no absolute of justice etc., and it will be shown, below, that there is one absolute, the speed of light in vacuo that is the same to all observers [Michelson-Morley].

 

It might seem unusual that justice etc. should be used in the same sentence as the speed of light, but the universe is composed of organizations of all different things [stars, businesses, tree growth etc.]  and the dimensions of our universe are the most fundamental part to use to build a bottom-up view of organizations. It is essential that a bottom-up view be taken because top-down does not answer the question ‘why?’, only ‘how?’ and this adds uncertainty to the answers. As an example, mathematics is a special case of the mathematics of concepts, and whilst I derived it in another way, when you know what it is, it is obvious from the dimension (a+b)=1.

 

Notice that there are two dualities, measurement/logic and concept/context, and [in chapter 72], measurement/logic applies to a mathematical (world P) probability space, such as our universe, but Life has evolved along a time-line as shown by the Theory of Everything and has evolved a mind/brain that uses a Mathematics-of-the-Mind/mathematics-of-concepts (world O). World O uses the same fifth dimension as world P, but with the addition of a new dimension six, that is forward-planning and concepts instead of probabilities.

 

In other words, cells took billions of years to evolve [the cell wall must remain small for strength] and so cells joined together to form multi-cellular organisms [an organization] and that resulted in the placebo/nocebo contract [two-way conversation] and allowed, I believe, the evolution of the much more efficient lensed eyes that led to predator/prey attacks and forward-planning [sixth dimension] evolving. The mind, I believe, is a mechanism that ‘quests’ concepts using the ‘principle’ of quantum mechanics, as quantum mechanics ‘quests’ the relation (a+b)=1 [fifth dimension] where every point in a probability space has a probability and the sum of all probabilities over all points remains 1, and this calculation is carried out instantly and continuously. Remember that a probability of existence space has an infinitely small chance of existing [at 1] and likewise, has an infinitely small chance of not existing [=0], and forms a ‘twilight zone’.

 

To digress, I have always had problems with why iteration and the mind/brain produced measurements and now realize that the questing of quantum mechanics is the answer and that is a basic property of a probability space and it is there for anything, such as a limit of an iteration or the questing of a mind/brain. In other words, why can an iteration or mind brain ‘force’/interact-with the universe to ‘register’ a ‘snap-shot’ of the universe going about its business and it must be that part of a probability space that quests, and that is a basic property shown by the fifth dimension (a +/and b)=1, that is ‘+/and’.

 

To repeat, the mind, I believe, is a mechanism that ‘quests’ concepts using a process that is the basis of quantum mechanics, but using the mathematics of concepts as a ‘plural’ [concepts/context duality] instead of the probability space’s ‘singular’ [measurement/entanglement duality] (see chapter 72) and produces a space that is not an entangled probability, but is a space restricted to our reality and as such, uses the mathematics of concepts with its intrinsic indeterminism.

 

Relativity only causes problems because of the way it is viewed and the Michelson-Morley experiment [(a+b)=1=(a+c) for the speed of light a and observers b and c, indicates b=c] shows that two observers are relativised by both seeing the speed of light [a] to be the same. Relativisation [(a +/and b)=1)] is a property of a probability space and is quite natural, and uses the Lorentz transformation on each of mass/energy, length and time, which are the five dimensions [space-time and (a +/and b) =1]. Notice that all of the dimensions are affected equally, as we would expect, as it is logically simpler to act on all dimensions equally [Occam’s razor, which is a simple solution to the mathematics of concepts] and the speed of light [a] is a ratio of distance [dimension] divided by time [dimension], so, the speed of light is constant and an absolute [the transformation cancels, the equation has a solution].

 

It is interesting that inflation in the Big Bang may have been caused by the same relativisation of dimensions being linked [energy increase/splitting produces space and time increases via the Lorentz transformation] and that, I believe, is the same simple process that is used by [constant] energy in the form of photons to maintain the internal ‘book-keeping’ of the conservation of energy [chapter 72] [and as a means of movement]. The dimensions determine everything and especially physics, above, but we can expand our view and produce/find a Unified Field Theory because there are a limited number of [distinct] possibilities that the fifth dimension can attain.

 

Unless we control our lives, we have problems such as obesity, overpopulation, crime, health problems etc. and these concepts have contexts attached [concept/context duality/orthogonality] and it is only when a measurement of a concept is made that it becomes determinant, as does the context. A simple example would be the obesity epidemic, (partially) caused by people ignoring the relationship of state of mind, exercise and nutrition [Second Law of Life] where our bodies evolved for the hunter/gatherer lifestyle of the Paleolithic and not the modern culture of laziness, poor nutrition [‘quality’ and lack of variety] and lack of exercise.

 

Another simple example, ‘we have found that a small truffle specialist, the California red-backed vole, usually has pieces of eight to twelve species of truffles in its stomach at any one time. Although a single, medium-sized truffle would fill its tiny stomach, it chooses instead to nip around on many species. The same holds true for a great number of other small mammals around the world, particularly the obligate and preferential mycophagists. Perhaps instinct or the varied attractive odors of the different species induce them to diversify their diet and thus minimize the risk of nutritional deficiencies. (Trees, Truffles, and Beasts: How Forests Function, Maser, Claridge and Trappe, p 100) I firmly believe that processed ‘foods’ and a severely restricted range of natural foods is helping cause the ‘obesity epidemic’ in the developed world, not to mention the ‘modern diseases’.

 

The fifth dimension [(a +/and b) =1] contains the logic operator ‘and’, and the proviso that an accounting and readjustment of (a+b+c+….)=1 [relativisation] is carried out instantaneously and given that the universe is [only] energy in various states, the Law of Conservation of Energy is nothing more than this relativisation of the logic component [of gravity] of the various forms of energy [gravity, kinetic, chemical, matter, dark energy, etc.] where gravity energy is negative and all the rest positive. The duality of measurement/entanglement leads to two equations of the form: 0=energy of all the terms (gravity + kinetic etc.) and logic of all the terms (gravity + kinetic etc.), the speed of gravity (logic) is infinite and the maximum speed of all other energies is the speed of light [an absolute]

 

An interesting point is that everything is indeterminate because a probability space must investigate every possibility and it can only do that if it is free to do it, and measurement by iteration or mind/brain makes a concept and context determinant, at that instant. Notice that this indeterminacy was one of the ‘oddities’ of quantum mechanics, but in this (logical) ‘light’/question is necessary. As an example, photons will be a wave or a particle depending on how we measure them. The key to a probability space is relativisation because every frame of reference is continually changing with respect to the conservation of energy and this is shown by the continual changing energy of electromagnetic quanta [Pound-Rebka].

 

‘Let me raise a few points which seem not to have been made the subject of scholarly investigation. I have always been puzzled by the strange wording of the definitions of mass, momentum, and force, at the beginning of the Principia. For example, Definition I states “the quantity of matter is the measure of the same, arising from its density and its bulk conjointly”. Why does Newton again and again identify a physical property or quantity with its measure? There is surely more to a physical quantity than a statement of how it is measured? The answer is possibly to be found in Newton’s early Scholium on absolute space and time. Since, according to Newton, we can only measure relative space and time, and not absolute space and time, all we can know about physical quantities are not the absolute quantities themselves but merely their relative substitutes – that is, their measures. This argument is not well worked out by Newton.’ (Let Newton be!, John Henry, p 59, edited by John Fauvel)

 

‘It is not always appreciated that, 60 years ago, the makers of modern quantum theory were totally steeped, immersed, educated, brainwashed, if you like – in the mathematical methods of Lagrange and Hamilton; these ideas had grown out of, and were the natural evolution of, Newton’s dynamical ideas.’ (p 244) Further, ‘as we now know, his faith in forces was justified to such an extent that it is widely regarded as Newton’s most important scientific innovation.’ (p 128) ‘A slightly naughty thought can come to one’s mind here. Is it due to the nature of physics that the mathematical tools started by Newton are so essential for many parts of physics through the centuries? Or is our selection of worked-on parts of physics still largely Newtonian? (p 244)

 

These quotations are included to show the effect that Newton had on physics and his ideas on forces/action-at-a-distance/gravity set physics on a path of concept without the context of the repetition of the falling apple and it is apparent that forces/action-at-a-distance/gravity are simply and easily explained though measurement/entanglement/logic [concept/context]. The second quotation suggests that science has been ‘running’ with only ‘half of the ball’ and perhaps the time has come to put context to concepts. Even Newton ‘recognized’ relativity and measurement, but the use of ‘forces’ [instead of the logic duality] was top-down, and that has been the problem.

 

In other words, these quotations link together what I am saying in this chapter with the historical development of the ‘hole’ that has developed in physics that Newton (effectively) postulated and Einstein explicitly stated as ‘spooky action at a distance’. There is a reason for action at a distance if we consider our universe to be a probability space and I have proved it, to my satisfaction, at least, time and time again.

 

The fifth dimension is similar to the workings ascribed to a God by some religions and Life has evolved because evolution is very similar to quantum mechanics in that both record probabilities/possibilities as humans (and all living creatures) investigate every niche by trying every permutation of life-form and continuing to exist, if possible [mathematical/logical testing]. The biocomputer of life is there for us to guide ourselves and ‘human beings and their social orders are intrinsically imperfectible and fortunately so. In a constantly changing world, we need the flexibility that only imperfection provides.’ (The Social Conquest of Earth, Edward O. Wilson, p 241) In other words, the concepts behind relativity and quantum mechanics are wide-spread as relevance/relativity and ‘questing’ and are common organizational terms [it can be seen that a Unified Field Theory is emerging].

 

The above can be viewed as a ‘quantum/evolution – logic/gravity description of the universe’ and that seems to include enough descriptive components with the advantage that ‘quantum/evolution’ are concepts and ‘logic/gravity’ are contexts. Also, it is apparent that mathematics gives way to the elegance of the use of the mathematics of concepts, as above, and this should promote confidence of its use in the softer sciences and in particular, bringing reality [a steady state] to our planet because it is impractical for us to move to another planet. ‘If global change caused by HIPPO (Habitat destruction, Invasive species, Pollution, Overpopulation and Overharvesting, in that order of importance) are not abated, half the species of plants and animals could be extinct or at least among the “living dead” – about to become extinct – by the end of the century.’ (p 294)

 

The dimensions are fundamental and contain the solution if we work together to effect a Survival of the Best (mathematics of concepts) through state of mind, exercise, nutrition and getting on with the neighbours [second and third Laws of Life, reality]. The iteration of Survival of the Fittest was superseded about 10,000 years ago by farmers doing what they thought was best, and as a consequence, the average height dropped [assuming a poorer diet] by about four inches, whilst the mid-Victorians [How the Mid-Victorians Worked, Ate and Died, Paul Clayton and Judith Rowbotham] lived as long as we do [those after the age of five years due to infant mortality], in spite of modern medical care. This indicates that when we took over control, our health suffered and it is suffering now with 60% of adults overweight or obese, and further, I maintain that our chances of averting an Armageddon will improve if we use the general case of organization/management, as shown below.

 

The dimensions are used in, and dictate every-day life, and as examples, consider that forward-planning [sixth dimension applicable to us] is crucial to projects and it is apparent why politics is not saving the world [it has little forward-planning and our idea of democracy is flawed, Plato’s democracy, chapter (67)]. Another example is the ‘tragedy of the commons’ that assigns concept [anyone can use it] but no context of how it should be used, and similar, judges decide that the floor-covering in units is to be the owner’s choice because they are not common property [concept], but the hard flooring, instead of carpet that used to be required, creates noise for other residents [context] and the problem is that the judges used concept without context. The solution is a costly tribunal to try to force the owners to put down carpet and hardly worth the effort, so discomfort is forced on residents because the judges’ lack of context.

 

Examples like this abound because it is not understood that concept and context are always a duality/independent and when forced to consider both in the mathematics of concepts it becomes clear that the judges, the renovators and the managing agents form a ‘cascade’ of people ‘not doing their jobs properly’, and I maintain that the use of mathematics [or management, at present] is a special case and that it needs the general case to make the correct decisions. The mathematics of concepts is transparent and shows the concepts that were considered [a history/measurement that is always available, relevance/relativity] and anyone can introduce a new concept [and if relevant, and that shows why the history/measurement must be available] that changes the context by general agreement. There is no unique solution, and that is its strength, and that strength could be called relativisation because, as above, it keeps the overall result ‘constant’ [relevant], and that is what we need for the planet [to enter a reality, constant population].

 

Our concept of democracy, that the majority wins/controls, is flawed because the majority are as ignorant/misinformed/uninformed as the minority and a more sensible way is to change the two-way [politicians-media-voters] into a three-way [politicians-media-universities-media-voters, Plato’s democracy, chapter 67]. So, by combining a mathematics of concepts [context], Plato’s democracy [concept], forward- planning [sixth dimension] and setting a goal [absolute, using universities], we would have a much better chance of bringing the human race ‘to heel’ before Armageddon throws us back to Survival of the Fittest [an iteration not involving a mind/brain].

 

To repeat and clarify, the same ‘forces’/inevitability/evolution from the dimensions affect and describe the universe, above, and our daily life, and we live in the shadow of Armageddon, that we brought about and is our most pressing concern. The mathematics of concepts is basic [and new] to all parties and allows the basic attributes behind each law to be continually scrutinized and changed [relativisation, (1) below] if needed, as time goes by. The ‘quality’ of those laws needs the universities [(5) below] to keep the politicians ‘honest/relevant’ and long-term goals must be set [absolute, forward-planning, (4) below] to aim for.

 

I have said that the pressing problem of the world is Armageddon and the solution below will solve it, and I believe that this claim is true because the method was derived from the dimensions and is the general solution of organization/management that creates a science from, what has been called, the ‘art of management’ because all of the factors have been derived. Thus, given that relativisation (1), the mathematics of concepts (2) and setting out the concepts/attractors and setting the context (3), the use of an absolute (4) [forward-planning] chosen by the universities (5) [the ‘best’ absolute] are derived above.

 

Further, (6) is experimentation/trials/measurement etc., as suggested by Francis Bacon to bring about a ‘scientific method’ that has proved spectacularly successful in science/technology and this could be considered a ‘break-through’ because most ‘science’ was derived by ‘thought’ for thousands of years. However, the duality of concept/context and measurement/logic means that theorists (7) should be included and it is apparent that a mathematics of concepts has been set up [(1) to (7) in total] where more factors produce a better organization, but what is the purpose of an organization? An organization is set up for a number of reasons, but basically it is to satisfy a need and/or to evolve (8), and I should stress that these eight points are (possibly) the most important of many more that may need to be considered.

 

The comparison of the rules of organization, above, with the basis of science, below, shows that the success of science was organizationally lucky/fortuitous, because, from above, many of our organizations are inadequate, such as the process of law, the making of laws by public servants, the food offered by shops, the fishing industry [a commons] etc. are deficient, but science was a ‘stroke’ of luck because acceptance (1) of a theory is required by scientists in general and that theory requires the mathematics of concepts (2) [to compare theories] and invites additions and checking (3) of the result (4) by those with a long-time career (5) in the subject and this often requires experimentation (6) and theorists (7) to fit it all together, and finally, the overall idea of science is to ‘push’ the boundaries (8) of what we know. It is hard to resist a giggle that science has been using the fifth dimension, top-down without acknowledging its existence!

 

The above assertion is bottom-up [derived from first principles] and expands, not just science, but into organizations in general, and forms a seamless transition across science/social-science/organizations to, perhaps solving the world’s problems by organizing every organization into the scientific form. The basic structure in the United Nations, World Bank etc. is in place, and each country contains a similar police/judiciary/political-system, so that it would not be a large step to ‘fix’ the system, especially as the police and judiciary form a reality, although the political system needs work [politics freely acknowledges that it is biased, self-seeking, greedy etc.], but, there is a way to bypass the political system, as below.

 

So, the time has come to put these simple concepts together, and I stress that these concepts are simple, but elusive because unless we use bottom-up, simplicity is difficult to see [unless we use the biocomputer of evolution with its multitude of iterations]. For example, the Rule of Life uses the concept of the vast number of ‘iterations’/questing/logical-decisions [in the way of quantum-mechanics/probability space] to bring the mind/body to such a complicated state that there is the question [by some groups] as to whether the body evolved or was it ‘designed’?

 

The above is the derivation [bottom/up] of seemingly simple concepts, such as the ‘relevance’ of the market in which a business/organization is operating, but this concept is often overlooked [or relegated to a marginal cost scenario] and yet relativity/relevance is such a large part of modern physics and further, is a large part of living through a mind/brain [less relevant, by way of usage, leads to the ‘sub-conscious’]. The same applies to quantum mechanics, where the ‘questing’ is the important principle and leads to growth/evolution. These basic ‘qualities’ of organization, relevance and questing that we have been discussing are ‘fields of endeavour’ particular to our universe and can be ‘handled’/linked with a mathematics of concepts into the existing Unified Field Theory. The very reason why relativity and quantum mechanics are ‘difficult’ to envisage/manage/understand is because we lack/not-using the tools/understanding that I am suggesting here. Five dimensions does not lead to a complicated world when we understand it.

 

Given that these fundamental concepts have been dealt with previously, I will restrict the discussion to the following simple example of trying to avert Armageddon by indicating a pathway. I have previously mentioned Plato’s three-way concept of democracy [voters-media-university-media-politicians] and would like to add the above to it by stating that, of all the organizations, the universities/science are (perhaps) unique in that they (fortuitously, because at other periods, science did not) follow the basic principles of organization, above. So, given that we desire a democracy [of some sort] where voters are, to a large extent ignorant and selfish, that universities/science is the best that humanity can do, and that politicians are a necessary ‘evil’ and are ‘controlled’/limited in the damage that they can do [through monitoring and losing control to science], we have an answer that can guide all organizations.

 

In other words, given that a ‘democracy’ is generally considered to be better than other forms of government [history, bio-computer, placebo/nocebo] where the voters can only be trusted to exhibit general tendencies/choices/wants and that politicians are ‘limelight seeking’ individuals of no particular mental strengths, the universities, with their ‘proper’/formal organizational strength (as above) can bring the accumulated knowledge to the subject that is to be voted on, is crucial to success. Surely this must be better than watching Malcolm Turnball floundering in indecision whilst getting ‘advice’ from everyone except the universities.

 

Conclusion/prediction: to transform the governing of the planet requires only a simple change in several regards, as above, to bring the organization/management into a science, based on the dimensions that are shown to describe the universe as ‘quantum/environment – logic/gravity’ that contains our world and our ecological/political/social etc. systems. The move to renewable energy is an obvious first step, but population is the problem and there are ways to bring this under control and resume our evolution. The science of organization/management gives a bottom-up solution of the problem that we have got ourselves into and the success of our present science/technology has, in hind-sight, been (literally) a ‘stroke’ of luck, but does show what can be done with a bottom-up recognition of the solution. This ‘stroke’ of luck [of science] forms part of the proposed Plato’s democracy and, from bottom-up, shows the logical path to follow to avert Armageddon and re-start evolution.

 

Prediction: just as the mathematics of concepts requires a history to provide relevance/relativity, it forces a prediction [or quest], and I now realize that that prediction is an assigned absolute leading to forward-planning (sixth dimension) and (perhaps) the above could fit into one of the ‘dreams’ of a New World Order or Unified Field Theory. ‘There may be no a priori reason why the correct description of nature has to be a unified field theory. However, this goal has led to a great deal of progress in modern theoretical physics and continues to motivate research.’ (Wikipedia, Unified field theory) There is an a priori description of the universe that I have called ‘quantum/evolution-logic/gravity’ and it is derived from the five dimensions, above.
