Principia
Quasica

The
creative artist stands out in awareness, sentience on some ground to
which we imagine the physics of mechanics as inorganic. But on such
a ground we are free to create so vary our designs in an artistic
mood, to marry the idea of proof and improvisation. If we find
limits to our resources and imagination, learn in fits and starts and
running our sense of our creation as correct to the ground then in
the missing step between laws life-like and laws concrete in
structure, we in looking back at our progress may know how to
correct, even forgive, our errors.
This
is the key concept to which our generation explores in theory and
experiment in that question of a wider or total theory of
mathematical physics, for in the union of that of quantum uncertainty
and the more classical forms of space including the relativity the
quasic physics takes flight into higher regions as if into deep space
we as well as our machines may flourish
and survive. Our first attempts are like the first machines to take
flight, so many failed models, so many lost explorers. Too much
false caution as much as fool hardy struggle with the flows and
trends- some mutation, invention- a stirrup for arrows that can
overtake the ancient world- or a twist of silicon, a hidden trend in
our understanding
and data, arbitrary
and programmed mutations- the guided missiles
that counter the perfection of the tanks- in our time too of lesser
local wars.
Not
all such mutations need be lethal as we learn, learn to live better,
respect and deal with each other, impose some general trend of the
future to which the issue of prediction in the greater context may
not forecast and know. My intention was not to look at the
foundations with the great effect that it changes the way we look at
the world and more how we can design it better over time. The
foundations need not remain a mystery to us as we enter new eras of
deeper being in this world- some think and accept that and not all of
them do so our of a primitive fear of that unseen and unknown. Yet
those at the cutting edge of what they believe a sound science have
in fact acted to modify the germ, permit processes though shown
better, our lives ultimately a resource and risk benefit for some
vague general social whole do so in big science I presume without
awareness of how hidden effects may make lethal
the environment of our wisdom and expertise including what for the
fleeting moment is our mind.
Such
cultural enclaves have their place, advertising as wealth
only there to confront each other should development infringe on
their brief peaceful way of life and breath of time- for their
conversion, for their social soul's sake, while the very foundational
idea of time is not truly understood in still a wider set of
principles. I cannot see how others read these pages, if they are
awake at all- that is much my problem as if to try to see how others
might read them. Far from the foundations any language will seem
arbitrary,
a fiction with a life of its own, a building or institution founded
on stone. I, if necessity have developed the forms I intuitively
felt I needed, and the shifting growing philosophic terms. Such
informality is perhaps the only way to break thru to new ideas. But
I do write tonight in generalities about things we all may know but
do not say aloud- the artist in me started with simple drawings that
did not seem to apply to anything in particular, throwing paint on a
canvass of light that somehow blends into something Leonardo like so
before its time, as of God can paint the Mona Lisa with him... so all
I can say is these last illustrations contain a lot of foundational
thought and not just cleaver whims of a poet, as we from foundations
build up our practical world... if you can see it. Then can explore
vast new terrain with me... I carved these runes that I left on the
roadway, that even if they are on a headstone the letters wear away
to fade... these are immortal yet in a sense I am craving the simple
sun again like those in their time ultimately understand it there day
to draw equations in the sand, the sand that conserves
is own level of grain.

Logging on I notice this most excellent blog post on general ideas on the quantum theory.
