We spoke before about relationships across our complex boundaries resulting in a kind of individual awareness or consciousness. This philosophical investigation grew out of my interpretation of published research involving an expanding droplet interface between two fluids [see The Experiment https://wordpress.com/page/theunionofopposites.com/130%5D. And we’ve spoken about relationships—even primitive ones—across boundaries that are products of …

When Fact meets Fiction: The Next Grand Solar Minimum
The bad news is that some studies show sunspot magnetic field strengths have been declining since 2000 and are already close to the minimum needed to sustain sunspots on the solar surface.

The Process of Self-Organization
Self-organization grows out of questions asked and answered across an expanding boundary. The boundary starts at (or just after) a kind of nearly coherent singularity. As energy and information cross the boundary, it changes, and subsequently reacts in an ever more complex way with the WIBWI or the ever changing, Implicit Order (the all-inclusive set/ever-educated/complemented by the Explicit (the WI)).
THE INCOMING
My philosophy is relational. IT grew out of my thought processes about my journal-published research involving a self-organizing expanding system, not unlike the expanding boundary of our universe. Much of the changes of a boundary’s shape/potential, due to energy/information crossing it, can be characterized using the full Energy Equation and statistical mechanics.
HOW TO DESCRIBE AN EXPANDING RELATIONSHIP BOUNDARY
Okay, so, today I’ll begin to cover an idea that’s grown out of my pursuit of the origin of human consciousness. I’ve promised this further thought into my relational philosophy of consciousness, but have yet to deliver. For that, I apologize.
THE PROBLEM WITH IDENTITY
Identity—the unique point of view a person comes into the world with and lives throughout their lives with—becomes a major stumbling block in my understanding of where any sort of awareness goes after death.
A Boundary Between Life and Death?
The research I published (see EXPERIMENT) is a low energy analog of the expanding universe (Analogs are analogies. And analogies can be represented by mathematical functions that model behaviors—behaviors that might be similar to one another).
Creative Overload
With our electronic age, a tipping point in information overload may have been reached, requiring new levels of management, personal and social. Today, almost unlimited information calls to us, generating an infinite potential for the creation of more information.
Uncertainty
Does the universe exist as interpreted by us or at some other level?
