Hello - My name is Mike from the UK and I have just joined the TOE forum today.
Can someone advise me how to put my photo as an avatar?
I have for the last few years been working on something. It's mathematics, it relates to a Theory of Everything, but is not maths as we know it Jim.
Sir Martin Rees, British Astronomer Royal and Master of Trinity College Cambridge, observed that we ASSUME that space and time are like the ocean, basically similar in every place, TO FIT our mathematics. But if space and time truly are like landscape, and different in every place, then we simply do not have suitable mathematics to describe it.
Put like that, I became very uneasy that we should think through what form of mathematics could possibly describe heterogenous space and time, and I have a solution that I call Fractal Dialectics.
In a nutshell, well, this is the first age of humanity that can think and publish ideas without bowing down to a) rulers and b) church. We have to be careful socially, and well, my ideas are so subtle, they may seem impossible until you realise, hey, this may actually be right. Here we go. Fractal Dialectics makes a pathway that is logical and empirical but it contradicts elements of both Descartes and Euclid.
Nature does not use graph paper. I was carving a roast duck, which has quite different curves to a roast chicken, and thinking, there is no way for us to begin to design this structure, of a duck's anatomy, and have it also fly, breathe, recover from illness, and lay eggs. My point is that nature has not only the secret of consciousness juxtaposed with material form, but a fluid mechanics and mathematics of motion that our species has not yet resolved.
There is no evidence that anything is actually the same as any other thing at all, except for man made things like bullets, designed by our homogeneous maths to be reliably predictably lethal. Every tree and river is different, every star is different, every person, for all we know every strand of DNA and even every atom and every sub atomic particle might be unique. We do not know one way or the other. So how come we only have mathematics that declares this inch is the same as that inch, this second the same as that second, when every direction of space and every second of time is experientially so very diverse.
Fractal Dialectics starts by defining material reality in a new and original way: if it rotates, it is real. So there is an assumption - a bridge to current ideas - that atoms planets and all people and things on a planet surface are in motion. That motion is like the ocean - wobble and spin, and straight lines are literally impossible! Frozen time is impossible! They have never been seen but only imagined and imposed artifically, secondly the axioms define that all real things are in motion and that motion curves. Even the light from a star curves.
The question arises, what, if anything, is still? Why and how do we feel we are still and things are still? Could it be that consciousness has this flavour of stillness? And all our great classical thinker have taken stillness, the wallpaper of our minds, and attributed that to material forms, which indeed are in motion.
All things are in motion and motion is like the ocean. Recursive or complex harmonic motion, maybe, Bezier curvers, maybe.
By this first "law" of Fractal Dialectics, certain axioms at the heart of all mathematics and science are clearly not real: zero does not rotate, infinity cannot rotate, or it would be finite within some other point of reference. So zero clearly is not real by definition. Infinity also is not real, it is purely imagined or an illusion of consciousness. Euclid's dimensionless point is convenient in some ways but still an esoteric fiction, and we need to wonder if we have begun to worship these inventions as if they were "out there" - for they are truly only "in here", in our minds. Cartesian co-ordinates do not rotate, they are frozen in an academic mental stillness, so for all we know, they are so unreal as to actually be deeply incompatible with the natural material forms of nature the tides and any walk on the wild side of reality. In brief, we base our mathematics entirely upon esoteric fantasies nobody every touched saw or knew in the natural world. Any alien anthropologist would spot it straight away - we build temples and all manner of man made things to worship our fetishes - the straight line, the flat plane, the corner, because we find these practical, and they are. But, nature never used them, they are ours, for our human concepts of comfort and convenience, and not in any way "out there" in reality except as a testament to our belief made material.
Ultimately from this apparently harmless first law of Fractal Dialectics, salami slice of logic by slice, it becomes impossible to measure anything, because there are no straight lines. Space and time only exist as and where we see hear or sense things in space and time, and in between, in the gaps, we have no idea. This is rather like Quantum Mechanics but at our normal perceptual range of phenomena, ultimately through step by step logic a noose constricts us to conclude that past and future are equally imagined from the only stable certainty each of us has - what is here and what is now.
Well there is a taste of what I am thinking through. As so many Theories of Everything assume that our mathematics and number systems are sound, I say, no, there is a more flowing alternative, and it needs a chance to catch up with all the years of fine tuning to rival the established maths, but the results so far are conclusive.
Um, perhaps some old hands here could gently and kindly guide me to find my feet here and express and discuss comfortably with others who are interested in this. Obviously there is a lot to this idea, it took three years to get my first book out on this and that was just on the most practical ways to apply this to live a more comfortable life, for the general reader. That first book is called Discover Speed Intelligence. But Fractal Dialectics as an empirical methodology and possible replacement for Euclidean and Cartesian mathematics will take me a few more years to test and formally set out. At this stage I really need sympathisers more than critics, I want three basic laws of Fractal Dialectics and I only have one firm and clear so far - All Material Things are in Motion - Motion is like the Ocean (or alternatively Real Things Always Rotate).
