Hello Michael,
Always nice to get your comment.
But well, it's not about pushing my 'TOE' isn't it? It's all about fishing for some intelligent feedback from people that are interested in the subject in general. And I already learnt some things. It also made me rewrite some parts of my website. So there I gained.
And about putting this tekst into more digestible chuncks, I think that if you want to add some proper comment to the more developed threads on this website, you have to read a lot more then the full amount of words I give in explaining aos.
Thanks anyway.
Hello David,
Yes well, about 'squeake' and 'grease' - I had to look it up - the full story on aos can be found in
http://aosbenm.nl/
In general I think the problem with this aos is that it refers to very basic mathematics, to very general notions on this universe, and to human behaviour, culture and worldview, while TOE as it is tradionally understood focusses very much on general physics, this with the assumption it can explain everything out of quarks, etcetera.
For me this very much has to do with the different approach I take on this subject TOE. Without really being aware of the traditional definition of TOE I started some decades ago a search for a general pattern in the information that is coming to me out of all the scientific disciplines. And as a kind of working-model I looked at music, at least how music can be generated out of a general theme by variation. Also I very much was inspired by Heraclit and his statements on a possible logos, as a general order in this universe and in man and society.
So this is it, my kind of TOE. While in explaining aos I only refer to science. The only 'magic' or unscientific turn in this explanation I can think of is when I suppose there must be some kind of fundamental or ontic creativity, that is doing all the variation and expressing of this universe. But still, if someone out of personal dislike want's to skip this, what remains is this very abstract pattern aos behind all we see around us, and behind all laws and constants and mathematics.
I think in addition it is also important to stress that this aos isn't about 'everything', at least it doesn't explain everything in it's concrete complexity. It only gives - I think at least - the general structure of things, what holds them together in a very basic way. While also looking at the article TESLA presented in another thread on this website, and also considering the phenomenon 'emergence', I think the whole project TOE has to be more humble, as being corrected by reality itself.
