I think we've talked about this before, but this is much like my own ontology. However I differed in that I saw the past as set in stone as recorded in quantum information. Rather than random chaos, I saw the past as representing trends and directions that have been set in place by the manifestation of actuality. I see a dimension of absolute potentiality, which from our perspective would appear as infinite---but it is information; a nonphysical reality. The present represents a collapse into physicality---it is the manifestation of actuality. Once this actuality manifests, the other potentialities for that present moment are no longer relevant. Though such a history as I describe would only be relevant for its influence on the current present manifestation of physicality. Otherwise the physical past is probably completely non existent---it has happened and is no more (the implication being that we could never travel back in time even if we had one day developed time travel). So it has occurred to me that we may very well be talking about two different kinds of past, and that you are right. I would interpret this random chaos as an aspect of the wave-----I place the wave as a nonphysical thing that is within this dimension of absolute potentiality. We could look at the wave as we do light travelling at the speed of light where space and time equate to zero. A wave has no beginning and no end and simultaneously exists at all points across that wave. Therefore if we consider a light wave moving across the universe from the beginning to the end of time, for example---from both our perspective of it and our experience of it, this wave is literally moving through the universe and represents various positions at various times. But from the perspective of that light, at light speed, all space and time is but an infinitely small flash---and within that flash everything happens at once. If we could perceive the nonphysical reality of light, we would probably imagine seeing two sides--a future and a past (and this only because we are trying to understand it from our physical perspective where velocity is basically zero). If we look to the future we would see all of its potential positions of where it is headed. Looking to the past we would see all of its past positions of where it has actually been, but it is all simultaneous so it would appear as random chaos. In fact the future would look even more random and chaotic, the only difference being that there is no actuality in the future. In short, it is all random chaos because we are trying to make sense of a nonphysical timeless reality from a physical perspective, but the past we could refer to as an actualized randomness while the future is potential randomness. But even though the past represents what we perceive as random, but actually is not random, this would be set against the background noise of literal or actual quantum randomness. It is this literal randomness that maintains spontaneity against the determinist nature of trends and directions. It enables free will. Trapped in the present as physical beings, much of this perceived and actual randomness does not matter. Our reality is maintained true to form----the form as it exists naturally, or per existing trends, or as we change it, or as it follows intention. The actual quantum randomness that places particles at odd places is imperceptable to us. And anything within reason can happen in the future.
Blame Confucius for how we Westerners fight amongst ourselves... Just kidding----for how Asians tend to be so dogmatically structured. Though writing I'm sure has a lot to do with it too. Just as writing in the West structured Western man's thinking into linear patterns.
That's a metaphysical interpretation along the lines of Buddhist pantheism, which the evidence contradicts.
...or Idealism of Western Philosophy, which is also pantheistic in nature. Could you please elaborate on the evidence that contradicts such things. I would greatly appreciate it. I have two friends that are quantum physicists. They would always try to find ways to refute my philosophy or would try to find contradictions or point out where science would disagree. But they have been working in Europe since early this year, and will be there for quite a while longer. Even then, over the last year or two after so many years of discussion and debate, their ideas and views have become tainted with mine, and they tend not to bring me so many contrarian tidbits anymore. My philosophy has grown significantly from struggling with such points of contradiction and evidence to the contrary...
I've written on it pretty extensively, but the simple fact is all the evidence has been progressively indicating that causal physics and logic are ultimately tautological.
And yet there are experiments here and there--like the ones at MIT on human intention that demonstrate there is some sort of causal relationships within the universe. The one at MIT by Kohane and others is very well documented and can be duplicated in any laboratory, and demonstrated that human intention can affect such things as the coagulation of blood, the .ph of water, the growth of insect larva, etc. It was so powerful that the control experiment had to be separated because the effects were bleeding over to the control side.
Think of it as the greater context appearing to determine its own contents. Gravity can be viewed as normalizing the mass and inertia of everything in the universe, the same way a rubber sheet might normalize the motions of billiard balls on a pool table, preventing extremes. The rubber sheet ensures the billiard balls move both in straight lines and curves simultaneously. However, because it is a contextual effect that applies to everything in the universe, we can't fully appreciate its impact and influence on our local reality and gravity can also be described as expressing time or inertia flowing backwards. From a scientific viewpoint, the fact we can measure time flowing even backwards for quanta reflects the fact that we appear to inhabit a nonsensical singularity which must make almost every bit as much sense as it ultimately makes no humanly appreciable sense whatsoever. Creativity requires no reason or purpose for existing, and the greater truth is the source of all creativity, while causality is simply half of what makes it possible to be creative. That makes the lowest possible energy state and maximum entropy production the more important issues from a strictly physical point of view, but includes the human mind and brain. Meaning you can measure it quantitatively and qualitatively simultaneously according to the proximity of the observers and how their collective behavior changes in rudimentary contexts. Specifically, searching for how energy and information exchange identities in four rudimentary, but sweeping, contexts. These should tell the story of how our universe can be thought of as expressing creativity, evolution, self-organization, or life and our expanding awareness as we know them.
