Satyr's Metaphysics Empty
PostSubject: Satyr's Metaphysics Satyr's Metaphysics EmptyMon Oct 28, 2019 5:44 am

Existence is best described as Energy, from the Greek ενεργεια; εν= in; εργο= work, creation, action, deed.
Dynamic. Power.
At this point we cannot speak of anything that implies a consciousness, such as 'will', 'god', 'value', 'love', i.e., we cannot use a word implying a subject, perceiving, evaluating, judging, caring.

We begin with a basic understanding of existence as a dynamic state of energy.
We may visualize it as vibration.
There is no point in observable space/time with nil energy - no absolute inert state. No absolute zero-degree temperature, where 'temperature' is a measure of energy.
Such a state would be the very definition of non-existence.

We may now add to this the component of movement, which is implied by energy and vibration.
This dynamic state is expanding, creating a field of interactivity - it acts and counter-acts with itself - it is an expanding field of inter-activity.
What is interacting?
Different degrees of energy, because existence is not a uniform state, and therefore this expanding field of interactivity exhibits divergence localizes states of more or less energy.
The interaction consists in affecting and being affected - or attraction/repulsion. Interaction implies an exchange of energy, or a movement of more energy towards less energy in a continuous state we may call Flux.

At this point we can add another factor to explain why this expanding state of interactivity does not settle upon a uniform state.
We must introduce the factor of order & chaos to the previous.
Energy is not uniform but can be divided into two general categories represented in eastern philosophy as Yin/Yang.
We introduce the concepts of order/chaos and understand it in the context of energy - vibration.
Energy with a vibration that is consistent, repeating, predictable, is called 'order'.
Energy with a vibration that is inconsistent, -non-repeating, unpredictable, is called 'chaos'.

Uniformity can now me defined as a movement towards absolute order or absolute chaos.

Order can also be defined as a 'pattern' - implying a sequence of inter-activities - or, to be more precise a sequence of possible.
A predictable, repeating sequence - vibration - will exhibit a high probability of interactivity, whereas an unpredictable sequence would have no probability but only a possibility of interactivity.
Interactivity, as we noted, is another way of saying an exchange of energies, or an attraction/repulsion.
The loss of energy is called cold; the increase of energy is called hot.

Order & Chaos - i.e., patterned and non-patterned vibrations/energies interact predictably or unpredictably.
It is the unpredictability of interactions which makes the settling into a uniform state of order improbable.

Now we may introduce the subject to this state of turmoil. We can integrate life into it.

Life is ordering. Multiple different degrees of order incorporated into an iterating unity.
It experiences world, as it was described above, by interpreting it in accordance with its own unity.
It is, attracted, to energies that participate in itself and it respells energies which are not in itself.

The act of attraction/repulsion implies a degree of harmony, keeping in mind that energy is vibration - just as music is the product of a vibration. We can use musical analogies.
Energies more in harmony attract, because the degree of repulsion is less than the degree of attraction - there is less dissonance between the two kinds of energy.
If the level of dissonance is higher, then they repulse each other, or friction is created by their dissonance - a loss of energy.
Less dissonance means less friction.

It is also possible for two disparate degrees of energy to be stabilized with the intervention of a third - the in-between them dissonance/disharmony balanced by the mitigation of a third, or fourth or fifth....creating the multiplicity of particles, which in turns creates the different types of matter/energy we perceive.

Using Heidegger's conception of space as possibility, we qualify it as a possibility for interactivity.
Dimensions can now be understood as possible fields of interactivity. Fragmenting dimensions - multiplying dimensions - means an expansion of space.
Movement is the increase of possibilities in one or more dimensions, accompanied by a decrease in all other dimensions.
As such, two patterns though of the same kind can evade interacting because their sequences of interactivity - patterns - though in harmony are not aligned - in agreement - or their interactions are multiplied in one dimension and divided in all others, i.e., moving away from one another.

A living organism - self-organizing unity of patterns - interprets all this interactivity by reducing it to a form it can process. It simplifies/generalizes probabilities by eliminating dimensions - reducing the perceived to a less complex level.
Organisms can only perceive patterns.
Chaos is integrated into its interpretation as the unforeseeable, the unexpected, necessitating a mechanism to deal with it - free-will.

Will is the focus of organic aggregate energies upon an objective.
Freedom is choosing from between multiple options. Options not being entirely predictable due to the effect of chaos upon order - or their interactions.
If all were absolutely ordered then all would be absolutely predictable; the details of their predictability would be inconsequential.
Life would evolve automated reactions to specific stimuli which would indicate the certainty of a specific outcome. No conciousness necessary above a rudimentary level.

Imagine that....oscillation, and vibration seems to be what matter/energy is.

Perhaps I am the only thinker, that I know of, which does not offer a "theory of everything" but claims that this is impossible.
Everything cannot be known, for many reasons but basically all 'is in flux' and so omniscience would necessitate a conciousness 'outside the flux'; 'all is not ordered' making it impossible for an organism, depend on order, to perceive and to process.

Instead I propose the 'Bottom<>Up method of seeking the most probable perspective rather than the omniscient, complete, whole, final, one.
An ontology that incorporates chaos and the unkowable into a world-view that does not claim but argues from precedent to validate the most probable explanation - survival; of the fittest in philosophy.
The standard is not a single subjective interpretation, nor even a shared inter-subjective, interpretation, but the world itself.
It begins with physics - the tangible, experienced, observable world, i.e., reality, constantly cross-referenced and compared with others - and gradually builds a foundation of metaphysics, before projecting upwards towards ideology and the abstract.

Could it be that the missing mass, or what they call "dark matter" is really a reference to energies that cannot be detected because they are chaotic, i.e., lack a pattern?
Could it be that the word "matter" cannot apply, nor energy, strictly speaking...because both terms refer to dynamic patterns, i.e., order?

Cause/effect are not separate concepts.
Effect is the sum of all causes, and causes are both ordered and chaotic. An effect is the sum total of interacting energies - both patterned (ordered) and random (chaotic).
Past manifests as presence...it is not other than presence: sum of all past manifests as presence - interpreted by a consciousness as appearance, the apparent, i.e., phenomenon.
Noumenon is an interpretation of the phenomenon, i.e., a simplification/generalization.

The organism participates in the causality than manifests as effects, through choice - judgement.
An inferior life-form follows its impulses as these are establishes and reaffirmed, through time.
A superior-life-form can contradicts its own impulses and its automatic reactions as these have been established and reaffirmed in time.
This is why nihilism emerges only in higher life-forms...and no lower life form has these self-destructive suicidal, self-abnegating tendencies.
In higher life-forms the mind can produce an iterating loop of experiences (knowledge, understanding = data, patterns) - abstracted as concepts, ideas, ideals - that contradicts the body's automated reactions, developed using more primitive forms of iteration - plants being the simplest iterating physical life-form; lacking all mental iteration, and being entirely physical.

Higher life-forms have more potential for free-will, in comparison to lower life-forms.
Lower life-forms functioning under the influence of binary judgements, i.e., 10 = good/bad, edible/inedible....attractive/repulsive. No processing required...the judgement is entirely based no energies hamronizing and repelling or dis-harmonizing, and repelling - yet, even a plant can choose a path-of-more-resistance, - breaking through a stone to get to nutrients, for example, because it is iterating, incorporating into its impulses data it gathers and accumulates from mediums other than immediate contact, i.e., atmosphere (temperature, humidity), electromagnetism (gravity, sunlight, earth's magnetic field), chemicals in the earth/air etc.
Still, a plant cannot self-contradict...it can only remain true to itself - sum of all its past experiences and inherited experiences in the form of DNA (memories).
