"I will put chaos into fourteen lines"

This is an update to my previous post "Complementarity of life and universe". The title is from the poem by Edna St. Vincent Millay. In my model there are 15 lines if infinity is included.

0-. (Infinity)

0. ((Individual,Population),(Universe,Multiverse))

0.0. (Biochemical,Tissue,Organ)
0.1. (Populational,Relational,Philosophical)
0.2. ((Frame,Quantum),(Material,Celestial))
0.3. ((Level-1,Level-2),(Level-3,Level-4)) ... (*)

(*) http://space.mit.edu/home/tegmark/multiverse.pdf

0.0.0. ((Amino-acid,Protein),(Nucleotide,Nucleic-acid))
0.0.1. ((Connective,Epithelial),(Muscle,Neural))
0.0.2. ((Inner-action,Outer-action),(Inner-sense,Outer-sense))

0.1.0. ((Individual,Family),(Tribe,Species))
0.1.1. ((Interaction,Economics),(Technology,Communications))
0.1.2. ((Politics,Ethics),(Sciences,Philosophy))

0.2.0. (Gravity-Dark-Energy,Higgs,Space-Time)
0.2.1. (Boson,Lepton,Quark)
0.2.2. (Gas,Liquid,Solid)
0.2.3. (Planet,Star,Black-Hole)

0.3.0. Regions beyond our cosmic horizon.
0.3.1. Other post-inflation bubbles.
0.3.2. The many worlds of quantum physics.
0.3.3. Other mathematical structures.

Previously in the post "The song of being in measure 4/3" I added two more levels after multiverse. After changing the symmetry of the universe from 3/4 to 4/3, it agreed with the multiverse classification, removing the need for two more levels.

Some of the further branching is in my previous posts.

Complementarity of life and universe

The Universe has 12 aspects arranged in measure 4/3;

(((Gravity/Dark-Energy,Higgs,Time-Space),(Boson,Lepton,Quark)),
((Gas,Liquid,Solid),(Planet,Star,Black-Hole)))

Life has 12 aspects arranged in complementary measure 3/4;

(((Amino-acid,Protein),(Nucleotide,Nucleic-acid)),
((Connective,Epithelial),(Muscle,Neural)),
((Inner-action,Outer-action),(Inner-sense,Outer-sense)))

The outer shape of the Universe has four-fold symmetry;

((Quantum-gravity,Quantum-mechanics),(Statistical-mechanics,General-Relativity))
((GHT,BLQ),(GLS,PSB))

The outer shape of life has three-fold symmetry;

(Biochemical,Tissue,Organ)

,,,

Previously I included Plasma to GLS, and Gas-Dust-Meteor-Comet to PSB triplets to make them quartets. But later I realized that the GLS triplet already stands for the lower level matter. Similarly I excluded Higgs from the particle triplet BLQ and made a new triplet GHT, including Dark-Energy.

The (GHT,BLQ) duality compares to the 12 senses quite well;

(GHT,BLQ) => (Inner-sense,Outer-sense) =

(((Pain,Pleasure),(Temperature,Pressure),(Rhythm,Harmony)),
((Touch,Balance),(Taste,Smell),(Hear,See)))

They can be compared in many ways since the senses and fields are modular and self similar. The following correspondences are noteworthy;

Time-Space ... (Rhythm,Harmony) ... (Hear,See)
Higgs ... (Temperature,Pressure)
Gravity/DE ... (Pain,Pleasure) ... (Touch,Balance)

Similarly the (GLS,PSB) duality compares to the 12 actions;

(GLS,PSB) => (Inner-action,Outer-action) =

(((Lungs,Kidneys),(Stomach,Penis-Vagina),(Heart,Brain)),
((Arms,Legs),(Head,Torso-Tail),(Feet,Hands)))

Why 3 colors?

Light has 2 degrees of freedom;

(frequency,amplitude) ---> (color,intensity)

All colors saturate to white in high intensity and to black in low, thus defining the evolutionary boundary. Color helps navigation in demanding environments like tree tops and expands in the gray middle range as it evolves. It works as an indexing agent for space, therefore there are 3 colors.

If fast navigation in a 3D environment is an evolutionary selection factor for the species, then they would die off if there were no possibility of extending the gray vision. But this possibility exists since there are 2 degrees of freedom of light.

The vision of 3 primary colors creates a 3D color matrix of the observed scene and maps it to the gray vision of intensity. This creates a 3D addressing mechanism and defines an improved indexing and addressing of the field. Senses are defined by their dedicated organs, like hardware peripherals of computers. Dedicated organs are needed for faster detection.

Gray on/near gray is still gray, but two different colors with the same grayness (intensity) stand out when near each other, and produce a different color when overlap due to two eyes. This improves the stereographic vision. Otherwise you need to swing your head side to side to improve the depth of the field. This is well observed in many animals, and it is a security risk and a time waster.

"Why do dogs have none?"

Assuming that the dogs have no color vision, it would be because they do not need to navigate in a 3D environment.

"Why do some humans with eyes just like yours, still not see any color
or only 2."

All genetic traits have a statistical distribution. Most humans have good color vision.

The song of being in measure 4/3

















1. (Biochemical,Tissue,Organ)
2. (Populational,Relational,Philosophical)
3. (Quantal,Matter,Celestial)
4. (Multiverse,Omniverse,Divinity?)

The measure 4/3 inverts to 3/4 as it branches further;

1.1. ((Amino-acid,Protein),(Nucleotide,Nucleic-acid))
1.2. ((Connective,Epithelial),(Muscle,Neural))
1.3. ((Inner-action,Outer-action),(Inner-sense,Outer-sense))

2.1. ((Individual,Family),(Tribe,Species))
2.2. ((Interaction,Economics),(Technology,Communications))
2.3. ((Politics,Ethics),(Sciences,Philosophy))

3.1. ((Higgs,Boson),(Lepton,Quark))
3.2. ((Plasma,Gas),(Liquid,Solid))
3.3. ((Gas-Dust-Meteor-Comet,Planet-Moon),(Star,Black-Hole))

The rest is the arena of speculation, but there is enough of it to qualify for a pretty serious MIT paper about the Multiverse. The symmetry suggests further 2 categories. One of them already has a name; Omniverse. About the other, I have no idea. Divinity?

4.1. ((Level-1,Level-2),(Level-3,Level-4)) ... (*)
4.2. ?
4.3. ?

(*) http://space.mit.edu/home/tegmark/multiverse.pdf

Some of the details of the further branching are in my previous posts. There is enough evidence to suggest that the 3rd level belongs to the numbers 3, 6 and 12 for the detailing. The categories add upto 48 at the second level, reminding Bach's 48 preludes and fugues and plenty of references from the ancient cultures. The prelude that I love most, that of BWV-998, has the measure 4/3. My second favorite, BWV-999, has the measure 3/4. Both lute preludes. There you go.

Duet of life and universe in measure 3/4



















This is an update to my previous post "The eightfold way of existence". I expanded the biology and universe sections and excluded the sections on culture, language, music and mathematics.

There are 4 biochemicals, 4 tissue and 4 organ types in biology;

(((Amino-acid,Protein),(Nucleotide,Nucleic-acid)),
((Connective,Epithelial),(Muscle,Neural)),
((Inner-action,Outer-action),(Inner-sense,Outer-sense)))

The symmetry of each quartet is like the modular group. I have excluded the chemicals like carbohydrates, lipids and ions from the biochemicals. Although there is not a clear cut boundary between the ordinary chemicals and biochemicals, these clearly define a good quartet. Like nucleotides are parts of nucleic acids, amino acids are parts of proteins, and both nucleotides and amino acids also have other functions. There are 12 amino acids. There are 4 groups and 12 types of Connective tissue;

(Loose,Dense,Cartilage,Other) =
((Areolar,Adipose,Reticular),(Regular,Irregular,Elastic),
(Hyaline,Fibrocartilage,Elastic),(Bone,Blood,Lymphatics))

There are 6 inner and 6 outer senses;

(((Pain,Pleasure),(Temperature,Pressure),(Rhythm,Harmony)),
((Touch,Balance),(See,Hear),(Taste,Smell)))

Senses have organs inside and outside the brain. The inner senses are more distributed over the body for their outer organs, yet more centralised in the brain. They make up the core of the brain. There are 6 inner and 6 outer organ groups of the body;

(((Feeding,Reproductive),(Lungs,Kidneys),(Heart,Brain)),
((Hands,Feet),(Arms,Legs),(Torso-Tail,Head)))

The Head reflects the torso in the organ symmetry.

,,,

Universe obeys the same symmetry;

(((Higgs,Boson),(Lepton,Quark)),
((Plasma,Gas),(Liquid,Solid)),
((Gas-Dust-Meteor-Comet,Planet-Moon),(Star,Black-Hole)))

The boson-fermion quartet match the 4 biochemical groups. The 4 phases of matter match the 4 tissue types of biology. Like the organs of an organism, the astronomical objects are places of transformation. An accumulation of rocks in space become spherical under Gravity after a critical mass. Therefore Planet and Moon represent a phase change from low level space debris. Similarly there is a phase change from Star to Black-Hole.

There are 6 leptons and 6 quarks;

(((Electron,E-Neutrino),(Muon,M-Neutrino),(Tau,T-Neutrino)),
((Up,Down),(Strange,Charm),(Bottom,Top)))

They also have their anti-particles. There are 3 known Bosons;

(Light,Weak,Strong)

The remaining categories (Time,Gravity,Space) must be due to Higgs which is theorised to weigh mass. They seem to match the Boson triplet;

((Time,Gravity,Space),(Light,Weak,Strong))

It can also be written in 3 dualities to expose the partner symmetry;

((Time,Light),(Gravity,Weak),(Space,Strong)))

Time is defined by Light. Space has the triplet symmetry like Strong. The implied (Gravity,Weak) duality is interesting, since the energy released by fission is in fact a transformation of mass to light. Maybe Weak holds the key to Gravity.

...

The symmetry match between life and universe demonstrates the modularity and self similarity of the universe. It may even show the inseparability of consciousness and matter, since life evolves from the depths of matter and there is no clear boundary between them. All life forms have their own cultures with a matching spectrum to human's, like language, music, tool using and so on, however dilute. Their elements add up to 12+12 = 24, a magic number. The duet they have been singing is still being created and its measure is 3/4, a very popular measure in human music.

The eightfold way of existence

A Tantric Yantra.

















There are 4 tissue and 4 organ types in biology;

(((Connective,Epithelial),(Muscle,Neural)),
((Inner-sense,Outer-sense),(Inner-action,Outer-action)))

The symmetry is like the modular group. There are 4 groups and 12 types of Connective tissue;

(Loose,Dense,Cartilage,Other) =
((Areolar,Adipose,Reticular),(Regular,Irregular,Elastic),
(Hyaline,Fibrocartilage,Elastic),(Bone,Blood,Lymphatics))

There are 6 inner and 6 outer senses;

(((Pain,Pleasure),(Temperature,Pressure),(Rhythm,Harmony)),
((Touch,Balance),(See,Hear),(Taste,Smell)))

Senses have organs inside and outside the brain. The inner senses are more distributed over the body for their outer organs, yet more centralised in the brain. They make up the core of the brain. There are 6 inner and 6 outer organ groups of the body;

(((Stomach-Liver,Vagina-Penis),(Lungs,Kidneys),(Heart,Brain)),
((Hands,Feet),(Arms,Legs),(Torso-Tail,Head)))

The Head reflects the torso in the organ symmetry. Tissue types also differentiate into their own trees.

,,,

It seems each sense and action repeat the outer 6/8 pattern to expand their own category trees. For example See has eightfold outer symmetry;

(((Left,Right),(Inner-Eye,Eye)),
((Open-Close,Rotate),(Focus,AntiFocus)))

There are in fact 4 eyes; 2 inner, 2 outer. The inner eyes are expert systems to decode and interpret the signal from the outer eyes. They can also operate semi-independently such as visualising. The retina of the eye has triplet symmetry.

...

Culture obeys the same symmetry;

(((Interaction,Economics),(Logistics,Communications)),
((Politics,Ethics),(Sciences,Philosophy)))

There are 12 types of Interaction;

(((Chaos,Order),(Predation,Union),(Competition,Cooperation)),
((Feeding,Reproduction),(Maintenance,Extermination),(Production,Consumption)))

Interactions can also be listed in 4 groups of 3, exposing the conjugate symmetry;

(((Chaos,Predation,Competition),(Order,Union,Cooperation)),
((Feeding,Maintenance,Production),(Reproduction,Extermination,Consumption)))

There are 6 Sciences;

((Mathematics,Physics),(Chemistry,Biology),(Psychology,Intelligence))

...

Language;

(((Sound,Syllable),(Word,Sentence)),
((Conjunctive,Conditional),(Adjective-Noun,Adverb-Verb)))

...

Music;

(((Note,Interval),(Measure,Theme)),
((Tempo,Rhythm),(Melody,Harmony)))

There are 12 Notes in equal tempered music.

...

Mathematics;

(((Number,Operation),(Function,Equation)),
((Logic/Set-Theory,Analysis),(Algebra,Geometry)))

...

Universe;

(((Higgs,Boson),(Lepton,Quark)),
((Gas-Dust-Meteor-Comet,Planet-Moon),(Star,Black-Hole)))

Like the organs of an organism, the astronomical objects are places of transformation. An accumulation of rocks in space become spherical under Gravity after a critical mass. Therefore Planet and Moon represent a phase change from low level space debris. Similarly there is a phase change from Star to Black-Hole. The phases of matter also come in a quartet;

((Plasma,Gas),(Liquid,Solid))

There are 6 leptons and 6 quarks;

(((Electron,E-Neutrino),(Muon,M-Neutrino),(Tau,T-Neutrino)),
((Up,Down),(Strange,Charm),(Bottom,Top)))

There are 3 known Bosons;

(Light,Weak,Strong)

The remaining categories (Time,Gravity,Space) must be due to Higgs which is theorised to weigh mass. They seem to match the Boson triplet;

((Time,Gravity,Space),(Light,Weak,Strong))

It can also be written in 3 dualities to expose the partner symmetry;

((Time,Light),(Gravity,Weak),(Space,Strong)))

Time is defined by Light. Space has the triplet symmetry like Strong. The implied (Gravity,Weak) duality is interesting, since the energy released by fission is in fact a transformation of mass to light. Maybe Weak holds the key to Gravity.

If compared to biology, Higgs matches the Connective tissue which differentiates into things like Blood and Bone. This makes sense since Higgs is the ultimate stem cell.

Thirteen senses and Da Vinci's The Last Supper











The senses can be classified in an ordered stack of length 13;

(Pain,(Temperature,(Rhythm,(Touch,(See,(Taste,
(Nothingness),
Smell),Hear),Balance),Harmony),Pressure),Pleasure)

Because of the complex relationships between the senses, the stack includes many symmetries.

The strongest symmetry is unity. They are all related to each other as they grow and evolve from a root sense. I call this sense Nothingness which is an identity and measurement protocol. It is the ground state of consciousness which is generally used to mean an overall sense of being.

The second strongest symmetry is duality. They all come in dualities, except the root sense. The general symmetry is of the form (Content,Container). Smell forms the background space for Taste. Without Smell, Taste weakens a lot. Similarly Hear is the background space for See. See uses more complicated but the same type of mathematics (FFT).

Are (Rhythm,Harmony) senses? Everything in the body is a clock with a special Rhythm, but Heart and Basal-Ganglia specialize on Rhythm. So it is a sense but hidden like the Balance sense. Harmony is the overall sense between and within the senses. (Rhythm,Harmony) are due to the self-referential or self-similar aspect of the senses.

The 6 strongest dualities have an overall duality that demonstrates the symmetry that simulates a four dimensional hyper space-time;

(((Pain,Pleasure),(Temperature,Pressure),(Rhythm,Harmony)),
(Nothingness),
((Touch,Balance),(See,Hear),(Taste,Smell)))

The corresponding shape is Tesseract.

There are also two dual-duality symmetries;

(((Pain,Temperature,Rhythm),(Touch,See,Taste)),
(Nothingness),
((Smell,Hear,Balance),(Harmony,Pressure,Pleasure)))

(((Pain,Temperature,Rhythm),(Harmony,Pressure,Pleasure)),
(Nothingness),
((Touch,See,Taste),(Smell,Hear,Balance)))

I think all these symmetries form around some kind of number simulation protocol. It seems to be a category calculator with base 13.

...

Vision obeys the same symmetry;

(Bright,(White,(Rhythm,(Yellow,(Blue,(Red,(Grey),Green),Orange),Purple),Harmony),Black),Dark)

(Grey) ... Balance
(Bright,Dark) ... Brightness
(White,Black) ... Contrast
(Rhythm,Harmony) ... Texture
(Yellow,Purple) ... Color
(Blue,Orange)
(Red,Green)

...

Since Nothingness sits at the center and is neutral, many modules can attach themselves through their centers. This is demonstrated by two stacks of culture;

(Anarchy,(War,(History,(Communications,(Logistics,(Economics,
(Politics),
Ethics),Science),Aesthetics),Tradition),Peace),Dictatorship)

(Chaos,(Predation,(Adaptation,(Competition,(Production,(Reproduction,
(Interaction),
Extermination),Consumption),Cooperation),Ritual),Union),Order)

Politics and Interaction are the Nothingness of their categories, as the 10 elements of the Interaction stack are the fundamental methods of control in Politics.

...

Fields also obey the 13-symmetry, if 5 new fields are introduced;

(A1,(B1,(Time,(Light,(Weak,(Strong,(Higgs),Black-Hole),W*),Gravity),Space),B2),A2)

This time (hopefully the last time) I rearranged the locations of (Time,Space) in line with the senses (Rhythm,Harmony) locations, since there must be deeper fields that contain (Time,Space).

6 strongest dualities simulate a hyper Space-Time;

(((A1,A2),(B1,B2),(Time,Space))), (Higgs), ((Light,Gravity),(Weak,W*),(Strong,Black-Hole)))

...

Mathematics falls into two broad categories, numbers and operators;

(((Natural,Integer),(Rational,Irrational),(Real,Complex)),
(Equation)
((Probability,Statistics),(Exponential,Logarithm),(Derivative,Integral)))

They also have some sequential symmetry;

(Derivative,(Exponential,(Probability,(Real,(Natural,(Rational,
(Equation),
Irrational),Integer),Complex),Statistics),Logarithm),Integral)

Comparing gives some hints about the predicted fields;

(Derivative,Integral) --> (A1,A2)
(Exponential,Logarithm) --> (B1,B2)
(Probability,Statistics) --> (Time,Space)

(Real,Complex) --> (Gravity,Light)
(Natural,Integer) --> (W*,Weak)
(Rational,Irrational) --> (Strong,Black-Hole)

There seems to be good correspondence. Rational-Strong correspondence is good since Strong is based on the Rationals (1/3,2/3). Integer-Weak is also good since Weak has three bosons; (W-,Z,W+). Light's symmetry is Complex.

...

Da Vinci's The Last Supper has many symmetries that correlate strongly with the 13 senses.

(Nothingness) ... (Christ)

(Pain,Temperature,Rhythm) ... (Bartholomew,James,Andrew)
(Touch,See,Taste) ... (Peter,Judas,John)

(Smell,Hear,Balance) ... (James,Thomas,Philip)
(Harmony,Pressure,Pleasure) ... (Matthew,Jude,Simon)

Christ is demonstrating a triangle with the hands forming the base. The right hand is making a grabbing action on the table, while the left is open. This seems to represent the (Content,Container) duality. While this shows the duality of his self, it also points to the overall duality at the table. He wears red on the right, and blue on the left as a further illustration of this duality.

Bartholomew and Simon (Pain and Pleasure) sit at either ends of the table, thus setting the extreme boundaries. Peter leans over Judas to talk to John, indicating Touch-Taste relationship, while holding a knife pointed back towards Bartholomew indicating his nature.

Judas (See) is looking at Christ to synchronise the bread grabbing, while holding a bag of goodies, symbolising the excessive dominance of vision. Judas betrays Christ since we usually believe what we see, not what we can not see.

Thomas (Hear) leans over James (Smell) to listen to Christ. James (Smell) looks appalled, by what is happening, since he is getting a rough deal. Philip (Balance) is leaning over while standing in front of a corner.

John (Taste) looks young, feminine and tasty.

There are windows behind Christ, James and Thomas, indicating their airy character (Nothingness,Smell,Hear).

The room has few related symmetries coded. The three windows show the fundamental mediated duality symmetry. Four openings at either side show the 4-symmetry. 36 (6*6) pattern on the ceiling show the (6+1+6) symmetry of 13.

How come da Vinci knew this to so much detail? Much seem to come from the so called sacred geometry and science, but his knowledge seems so advanced.
