PREMIER PHILOSOPHICAL RESEARCH PART 4: DIMENSIONS AND FOOD

The development / evolution, of:

Food.

Philosophy food: food for life, food for mind.

(Contradiction: evolving food.
Maybe evolving food is stupid food.
Maybe food is just medicine. Else:).

Smart food requires construction (dimensions).

Construction should involve management of dimensions.

Dimensional Psychological Development: 3.5th dimension

To feel good, even if the objects in front of me don't appear good.

To keep a schedule, not just of times, but of places and things.

To focus on what matters, and my own mind.

To remain captivated with wisdom and cleverness.

To make arrangements for metaphysical success, rather than failure.

To engage in visionary rituals as a way of having experiences.

To write what matters, without losing health.

To know high-minded things like psychology and love.

To go adventuring when I'm bored, with a mystical mentality.

To have access to higher dimensions where boredom and death are impossible.

To know proverbs and symbolism and other high-minded languages.

THE 'ART' OF Dimentia

There is a hint that anything that does Hyper-Cubism badly is capable of dimentia. Maybe that's why Hyper-Cubism didn't occur until historically recently. This topic seems imaginatively interesting when I have just seen (from the outside, while walking under streetlamps), an art show by a Ms. / Mrs. Celia Johnson (I think?) that depicts what look like colored-in naked female breasts, apparently the theme of the entire show!

Anyway, here is my very belated writing on the art of dimentia (I have been a little bit fascinated and terrified by dimentia since I made a bargain with myself to seek immortality by being old before I was young).

They will pause, as if they are at the end of their journey.

They will become less extreme, but not absolutely.

They will marvel about things you don't see.

What seems stupid to you is their entire reality!

That about sums it up.

By the way, I use the old spelling 'dimentia' instead of the modern spelling 'dementia' because I think there are things to learn from the demented. But it has less intelligence than the divine version of dimentia, which is called 'dimensia'.

Thus, theoretically:

1. Dementia: for monsters.
2. Dimentia: for demi-gods.
3. Dimensia: for gods.
4. Dimension: for God.

NEW BOOK RELEASE! GRAND UNIFIED THEORIES OF MEANING!

GRAND-UNIFIED THEORIES OF MEANING:

IDEAS GLEANED FROM N-DIMENSIONAL POLYVERSES

The book unites many separate concepts of dimensional worlds...

BOOK DESCRIPTION

This is a very cool project culminating from years of genius research on the nature of hyper-dimensions. The goal of the project came about through a gradual accretion of highly perfected category structures, each representing, at least metaphorically, one whole dimensional slot in reality, much like our current three-and-a-halfth dimension. The goal of the book was to assemble a categorical typology for each dimension, up to the largest n-th dimension I could find. As you might predict, I eventually left gaps within the system, but given the rigor of my research, I was able (not lazily), to adopt one perfect typology for each one of the first SIXTEEN dimensions, six full dimensions beyond what some believe is even mathematically conceivable! But since my system is somewhat avant-garde and un-traditional (yet logically coherent), I find no problem with introducing additional complex dimensionality. In fact, I have included a sampling of even higher dimensions than sixteen, as offered by my longer papers (...64th, 78th, 100th). Putting this material together without my background in dimensionalism would have been an exhausting task. And I hope the project strikes my readers as one which as I believe is worthy of the highest ambitions. I am also previously the author of other books on related topics, including books on philosophical coherence such as The Dimensional Philosopher‘s Toolkit, Coherent Systems Theory, and Coherent Logic. In many ways this text, by drawing on so many of the separate complete and incomplete projects, surpasses them all!---Nathan Coppedge August 2nd 2015, New Haven CT.

The Dimensional Time-Travel Toolkit

is more than half-way done!

BOOK DESCRIPTION

Perhaps the most pioneering work in its field, The Dimensional Time Travel Toolkit portrays its subject as a mystery and also a possibility. Techniques of mental time-travel are introduced, as well as perspectives and problems related to time travel study and time travel experiences. Locked within its pages are secrets to a profound mystery, and also a daring interpretation into the semantics of the ordinary.

FROM THE INTRODUCTION

“Beginning on May 5th, 2013, Nathan Coppedge set out to write a book on time travel: the best of its kind. He borrowed his themes not only from science and semantics, but from a host of unique experiences which occurred during his developing life.

“Several of these experiences seemed to involve genuine time travel, varying from 24 hours, to significant periods of years. Once Nathan observed his younger brother take a younger form than previously after seeming to time travel between different airplanes in mid-flight. In another case his mother told him that it was 2005, when the year was originally 2009. Incidentally, 2005 was close to the year he had intended to travel to. He then had an experience of synchronously re-living the majority of moments which had occurred in his life during that period, this time with knowledge to anticipate what would occur, including things that were said, and events that would happen. He felt a strange loyalty to the same sorts of timings and events that had already happened. But at the same time, he felt a small amount of willful control, even to change some details of conversations. In some cases, the recipients of his words expressed confusion, as if he had said two things at the same time, or as if the words had somehow been undone by a trick of magic, and re-written. In other cases, particularly with his father Michael and brother Brian, Nathan found that people were able to respond to different contents than had originally been expressed…”

THEORIES OF SURVIVAL

Probability. If one example is exceptionally rare, then it has a great degree of survival relative to the rest of its species. Thus, probability means a measure of success or rarity.

Strength. Might-makes-right mentalities dominate the simple view of nature and civilization. There is no doubt these have some significance where there is little intelligence, unless the environs is a paradise.

Magic. In addition to strength, the power to influence desires through seduction and manipulation, sometimes called magic, may play a role in selecting who survives, who is cheated, and who receives dishonor.

Knowledge. This is an ancient tradition dating at least back to the Labyrinth of Sardia. Wisdom can sometimes save someone when the concern is a matter of importance, like cheese or a drug, introduced from outside the labyrinth. The product is often to generate intangibles, to navigate away from confusion and danger.

Problem-Solving. Solving puzzles by having a new idea has had great appeal for those looking to logic to explain survival. Increasingly, however, these conditions look artificial unless they have an ethical overtone.

Civilization. Some theorists prefer to refer to the ways science can solve human problems (or fail to do so). These theorists see civilization as the crux of the problem and the solution.

Time. Temporality and immortality is sometimes used as a careful razor in determining the key, most important concerns for existence. This formulation must pre-date the phenomenologists. Solutions are proposed that can involve simple things like eating healthy food, to more complex ideas like time travel and changeless existence.

Cosmos. Universalizing values like love and karma is sometimes seen as an explanation for the nature of survival. However, these theories often defer to human or material imperfection to explain the problems involved.

Analyzing a Quote by Albert Einstein

"Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius - and a lot of courage - to move in the opposite direction." --Albert Einstein

I have the feeling that this is a faded trope that felt like wisdom during his time. Technology and evolution, if they exist in replacement for religion, demand ever more complex dimensions and manifestations. Einstein was evidently not a believer in the genuine fourth or fifth dimensions, or saw fit to be an opportunist in regards to them.

That's about the nearest to harshness that I can get on the subject, since it is a thought of a genius and something of a truism.

I find myself, however, in completely the opposite model of behaviorism. Not that I believe that I somehow achieve relativity first, and embarrass myself when I become God. Einstein would predict that I say that in response, and in small ways I predicted it, too. What I mean is that where Einstein's great mission appeared to be to locate himself in space and time in every direction, my own mission always involves a linear progression. And maybe this is what Einstein is referring to by 'intelligent fools' (normally if one fails to interpret him properly, then that is the overbearing assumption), but intelligent fools are precisely those who make things bigger, more complex, and more violent according to Einstein. Whereas evolution seems close to doing just those same things.

Apparently, Einstein opposed linear progress (the progress of intelligent fools), or he would believe that violence was a good thing, which doesn't appear to be what he is saying. So Einstein must have had doubts about  evolution or higher-dimensional reality, or some combination. 

If evolution is the more generic choice for what not to believe in, then the answer may simply be that he did not feel dimensionally evolved. Which became a standard answer around that time, perhaps due to his influence.

If dimensionality is seen as the generic answer in the mode of intelligent fools, then evolution might seem relatively complex. But, unfortunately, this leaves no option for dimensional evolution. Conveniently, it paints Einstein as a hero for fitting the precise formula of the-thing-that-isn't-an-intelligent-fool: in other words, 'an evolution that might seem relatively complex'. I can see Einstein shivering at this argument. Psychologically, the role being played at this point is not omniscient god of the cosmos, but rather it has been reduced to the complexities of a math professor. At this point, the arrogance of Einstein's statement seems almost like a complex. Perhaps that's what he thought he needed to tell God.

More and more, it seems like Einstein was influenced by history after all, and had a body of beliefs which stood apart from his mathematics. If that is the case, then an important belated corollary is that Einstein may have had some false assumptions which in the purest philosophical sense still deserve to be questioned.

It is then understandable if students of mathematics and physics continue in an attitude of critical analysis, rather than just accepting older theories as if they are writ from God. Just because Einstein contradicts his critics does not mean that they cannot be right. Contradicting Einstein may take violence, but that is not to say that a new theory would not be brilliant.

Einstein took for granted that a new theory would mean a bigger bomb. But I think that is not the case. I think in the spirit of paradoxical violence we would find a theory that is not so insidious as the atom bomb. And, if a larger bomb is what new theories produce, then ironically, there can't be much wrong with intelligent fools who favor theory over manifestation.

(The) Completed Thoughts

When Popper says in his Objective Knowledge that objectivity depends on some ‘objective fact’ what he may be referring to is the following idea. Say I physically rotate a piece of junk mail around a new package containing a precious book. The piece of junk mail may be interpreted one way as ‘inspiring’ new ideas, such as semantic ones. But, a better way is to see the piece of junk mail as objectively obstructing some future knowledge which I would gain if I had not rotated the junk mail around the precious book. The case would be trivial, except that it is highly metaphorical. We begin to think that indeed, the precious book could be rotated around things --- What would happen then?


When Cassirer writes:

The simplest and surest way to demonstrate the significance of the universal symbolic function for the formation of the theoretical consciousness would seem to turn to the highest and most abstract achievements of pure theory. For in them the connection stands out in full brightness and clarity. ^1

How different it would be, if he had expressed a desire to turn symbols into functions.

[1. Cassirer, Ernst. The Philosophy of Symbolic Forms, Vol. 3. New Haven: Yale U, 1957. P. 45].


If Immanuel Kant had taken a grasp of Descartes’ mathematics, he might have reached a universal theory of language which he would term metaphysical, and have abandoned his concept of the Noumena!


If Wittgenstein had seen that “The general form of the proposition is the essence of a proposition.” ^2 without contradicting himself, he might also have been led to imitate Rene Descartes. Of course, with Wittgenstein there is nothing to do but learn, but how little learning there is! It is as if Wittgenstein were communicating the dreams of Strunk & White.


[2. Wittgenstein, Ludwig. “Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus.“ Major Works. Basil Blackwell, trans. New York: Harper Perennial, 1958, 2009].



If Isaac Newton had known that an object pushed by a slanting surface can gain altitude if the slope is less than the sharpness of the vertical, then he might have thought about perpetual motion machines instead of cannons and prisms!


How different if LeFebvre’s genius in The Production of Space(^3) had been turned towards logical theories, as opposed to those native to social science!

[3. LeFebvre, Henri. The Production of Space. Donald Nicholson-Smith, trans. Malden: Blackwell, 1991. P. 100].



If Avi Sion had abandoned his Aristotelian study in favor of something more artistic and metaphorical, what a difference there would be.


If Nietzsche’s On the Geneology of Morals were not devoted to the detesting of Jews, but to the development of a logical metaphysics, what a difference there would be.
