The structure of the Universe

The assertions made in this post can be followed further in their implications.

Because the future structure already exists and because the past structure still exists, and since neither ever were pre-determined, it follows that every possible configuration exists at the same time.

Even if there were strict determinism, the structure would still be immutable.

That is, the Universe is perfectly static. Not a single breeze whispers in the Universe. Nothing new ever comes to being [2].

In fact, this principle manifests itself in the recesses of our very own reasoning. Nothing new can be deduced from previous assumptions and logical operations, that wasn’t manifested by those before.

It is therefore our conscience that moves in the Universe, or relative to the Universe [1].

The Universe is deterministic in that structural sense, but not our experience.

[1] Conscience, as stated elsewhere, is a motion in the Universe. And as also stated before, in one of its variations, we are not a thing, not an object, but an operation. This operation was also before identified as an inversion.

[2] In particular, nothing new can be derived from the separation of a single thing and this is is accordance with nondualistic metaphysics.

[3] from what Sabine Hossenfelder explains here about the nature of light in the context of the space-time continuum, and based on my previous assertions on the subject, we can conclude that light is not in motion, it is our conscience that is in motion instead, and light is the only direct perception we can have about the structure of the Universe. That is, light is the most real approximation we are able to perceive about the structure of the Universe. We are in motion relative to light, its not light that is in motion; light is stationary in the sense that it is part of the structure of the Universe, a time-invariant structure, in fact, a time-less structure (hence light itself is not in motion). Another implication is that while we aproach the speed of light, we are in absolute terms (from the PoV of the Universe) slowing down to zero.

It is interesting to note that the interior of the wall of this nest is stuffed with a kind of feathers that is very soft, silky, and warm and this can only come from the parent birds’ own feathers. Its visible as that grey inner layer in the pictures.

Origin of life

If we accept that a system tends to assume any possible configuration, which is consistent with modern physics, then we can demonstrate by induction the origin of biological life.

In order to demonstrate it we would need only a single instance in which a set of stable conditions of a chemical system resulted in a locally irreversible change in its configuration (more precisely, an decrease in entropy), regardless of the amount of time those conditions persisted.
By mathematical induction, all possible states of a system up to organized life would have been demonstrated, since we verified the base case and we ourselves constitute the inductive hypothesis.

This means that the origin of life could be the easiest thing to demonstrate by experiment, given a sufficiently large time frame. However it tells us nothing about how life evolved.

This would also mean that life is not an agency per se, but the direct expression of the action of certain laws on certain configuration states, that is, it is not life that evolves but instead the conditions in which it exists that evolve. This is “isomorphic” to a non-dual metaphysical perspective.

Another way to put it, is that if we remove time from the equation things pop in and out of existence without explanation, the same way we cannot perceive by our senses (but only by the intellect) an explanation about phenomena that occur at sufficiently large time scales. In fact, in this situation the universe behaves at the macroscopic level in the same way as in the quantum level, since in both cases there is no time referencial, that is, no causality.

Effort

The rugged teeth.
The powerful and faithful bite at any angle.
The simplicity and effectiveness.
The beauty of the design.

The Mayo-Hegar needle holder is one of the most beautiful purpose-fit man-made objects ever built.

It is a piece of art.

Because as Maia Bang put it, and as it aptly applies to the surgical practice, there should be no effort in art *.
