OBJECTIVITY : SYMMETRY. There are degrees of objectivity corresponding to degrees of symmetry. At the root, special relativity allows us to transform away the effects of spacetime difference to see exactly what is happening elsewhere and compare it to what is happening here.
Objective measurement + objective criterion (point of discontinuity) = objective decision process, a process that respects the peer level of the symmetry and preserves the symmetry (almost) everywhere.
COMPLEXITY = number of bits packed into null geodesic: the complexity of the null, ie eternal elements of the universe (god).
We adopt traditional religious terminology and name the universe God. By universe we mean all that is accessible to us, and all that we conjecture lies behind this.

A spy novel (Honourable Schoolboy) is a point in the space of spy novels. le Carre. It is about spies (part of the bureaucracy) who exist an interact in the space
[page 29]
of spies which is part of the space of bureaucrats, part of the space of workers, part of the space of people ...
Mathematics is about points and spaces,
neither of which is intelligible without the other, Transfinite
cardinal and ordinal numbers show us how points and spaces relate. In
the beginning we have identity POINT == SPACE = consistency. From
consistency grows (by Cantor series expansion) the transfinite
numbers which are in fact nested points and spaces, since every point
is also a space and vice versa. This is the fundamental duality in
formal representations of structure. So a point is represented by a
vector in a space, and a space is a set of points with certain
fundamental relationships to one another which can be expressed as
constraints on the elements of the vectors (ordered sets) that
represent the points. So a space is a set of points (vectors) and a
fundamental property of a space is the cardinal number of its basis.
Quantum mechanics operates in an infinite dimensional complex Hilbert
space. A basic constraint on the transformation of the vectors
representing physical states in this space is that the integrated
probability density summed over possible outcomes of a certain
starting situation remains 1 as the system evolves, ie the relative
probabilities of different outcomes changes. Copy Feynman on all
this. Feynman. Now how
do we understand the relationship between the vectors and wave
functions of separate systems that come into communication with one
another a) in physical terminology - CARDINAL
b) in terms of the transfinite network, ie ORDINAL
Then see the 'big bang' as the functioning of the 'cardinal-ordinal bootstrap'
Nature 2002: Physical theology, ie from infinite dimensional Hilbert space to transfinite Hilbert space, which is the natural home of the 'wave function of the universe.'
[page 30]
So physical theology carries us form the book of nature to god in the same way that christian theology carries us from the bible to Christian (eg Thomistic) theology.
PHYSICAL THEOLOGY is the title of the book. Identical to NATURAL THEOLOGY ie 'physis' (Greek) = 'natura' (Latin)

Books
| Feynman, Richard P et al, and , The Feynman Lectures on Physics (volume 3) : Quantum Mechanics, Addison Wesley 1970 Foreword: 'This set of lectures tries to elucidate from the beginning those features of quantum mechanics which are the most basic and the most general. ... In each instance the ideas are introduced together with a detailed discussion of some specific examples - to try to make the physical ideas as real as possible.' Matthew Sands Amazon back |
| le Carre, John, The Honourable Schoolboy, Pocket Books 2000 Amazon: 'John le Carré's classic novels deftly navigate readers through the intricate shadow worlds of international espionage with unsurpassed skill and knowledge, and have earned him - and his hero, British Secret Service agent George Smiley - unprecedented worldwide acclaim. In The Honourable Schoolboy, George Smiley is made leader of the Circus (the British Secret Service) in the wake of a demoralizing infiltration by a Soviet double agent. Devising a counterattack, Smiley puts his own hand-picked operative into action. His point of attack: the Far East -- a burial ground of French, British, and American colonial cultures, and fabled testing ground of patriotic allegiances.' Amazon back |
