Newton's jellyfish

The wall is progressing nicely.

  ?

I call it the wall -- ironically it's more a re-net.

  ?

As in re-netting, reconnecting -- where we left off -- when we entered the race to the bottom we've been in now for what seems like an eternity.

  So -- is it done? Have we actually hit bottom?

How does it feel? It's like watching a crashing shareprice -- no one knows when the bottom is in -- but if you've lost 70, 80, 90% of value, you can be pretty sure that the worst is behind you -- can't you...

  Unless it's going to zero.

Unless it's going to zero -- which is always, technically, a possibility.

  So if we've essentially reached bottom -- what does that mean?

What does anything mean?

  Er...

Ultimately, it's what you make of it -- innit.

  So, if I'm able to embrace the bottom -- the fact that it's not just been a massive loss of value, but part of a much bigger, multi-dimensional or quantum process...

Then you're going to come out singing and dancing, aren't you.

  But where?

Good question. You see -- in the race to the bottom you basically had to forget everything important, everything fundamental -- you had to be utterly convinced that you were completely part of and caught up in this material reality which appeared to be in an irreversible decline, no matter how hard you or anyone else tried to turn it round.

  Ri---ght...

Once the bottom is in -- there's nothing stopping you from having that ah-ha moment -- suddenly recalling the fact that this was nothing more than a mission to hit bottom, touching base as fast and as hard as possible -- like a meteorite crashing into our planet's atmosphere -- to burn up, if possible.

  But why?

Did you ever play rugby?

  Actually I did, yes.

Well, when you've run past all the defenders and crossed the line -- you still have to touch the ball down or else it doesn't count -- you don't score a try, so you might have to dive for the ground, otherwise everything you did to get there would amount to nought.

  Ok.

Where infinity is concerned -- sooner or later -- whatever you've learnt, accomplished, achieved -- unless you actually take it into the material plane, until you actually see how you cope, how you fare when stripped of all support, all outside knowledge and awareness, you have no way of assessing whether you've actually progressed or not -- or whether you've bitten off more than you could chew, and failed to complete the circuit, failed to rehumanise, reabsorb the matrix.

  ? Reabsorb the matrix. How do you mean?

Well, the material side of things is only ultimately meaningful and of value if you can untechnologise it -- if you can find a way to absorb it back into your conscious-awareness -- to turn it into your new base, your new fundament. Infinity can, ultimately, incorporate anything -- no matter how square or flat it might appear to be -- just as long as you've not completely lost your connection with infinity.

  And if I have?

Then you splat.

  I die?

Kind of -- yes. It's not quite as simple as that -- infinity is, after all, not the kind of thing that you can just lose, period. It has the faintest, vaguest, windiest, curliest tunnels, arms, whiskers or tendrils, any one of which can, if need be, be drawn on if nothing else avails -- but that would involve reconstructing your self from a very high improbability value -- which could take...

  A long time?

Time? -- more than time -- but yes, to put it that way -- a very long time, indeed. More effort, possibly, than it would be worth -- so you might find yourself reaching out for other incomplete splatterings or globules or road kill to reconstruct some other way -- there's really no saying what infinity is capable of, or what it may or may not do -- particularly when you consider that this isn't simply a question of matter recoalescing into physical form -- there's the dream body too -- which is no less significant.

  Oh.

But, if the race to the bottom is a success -- then infinity can and should fire up again, automatically, on all cylinders -- suddenly restoring awareness of the greater picture -- dimensions that have been in the shadow during the material phase.

   And... how's that going to feel? Something of a shock, perhaps?

You'd think so, wouldn't you -- but actually, no -- it's like you always knew it was there, you just temporarily lost access. Suddenly it's restored and the intervening millennia of darkness, chaos and confusion are almost immediately discounted --

  But all the pain and suffering...? The huge loss of human life?

Terrible, beyond words, until you have the big picture back -- context -- at which point nothing -- not one single death, not one single scratch or graze was without particular meaning and necessity.

  I find that hard to believe.

Yes, that's what keeps you falling under the influence of so-called "gravity" -- until infinity fires up again on all cylinders, and suddenly gravity recombines with its counterpart

  Counterpart?

Levity, of course -- the two balance out, don't they... Everything has to, ultimately, balance out, doesn't it.

  Except death and pain.

Even death and pain.

  No, I can't believe that.

Even your "no" -- your negation, your denial is part of the grand equation -- the greater scheme of things...

  But how? People die in horrible circumstances... What end can justify such diabolical means?

None whatsoever if your scheme of things is square -- a matrix of things -- in which a life is seen as being separate from other things... but when you touch base, when you hit the bottom -- what actually happens?

  You go splat.

You'd think so, wouldn't you -- that's what your mind believes -- gravity accelerates you into a wall of matter, otherwise known as "the ground" or "earth", and that's it -- roadkill, n'est ce pas?

  Unless you're speaking figuratively -- unless this isn't really a death plunge.

I assure you it is -- it's a desperate attempt to find bottom -- because the alternative is even worse.

  Huh?

A kind of hyper-inflation -- in which you ascend into ever more bubbly, abstract and meaningless powers of infinity. Believe me -- expanding ever upwards and outwards would leave you begging for the sweet certainty of so-called death.

  It would? I never thought of it that way.

Actually, you did -- you just don't remember in the part of your brain which is maneuvering you at present.

  So what happens?

If you make proper contact -- then believe it or not -- gravity and levity meet -- after all -- do you really imagine that simple, base matter is stronger or more fundamental than the living being, the life essence that you be?

  At 200 miles per hour I would assume yes, a slab of concrete is infinitely stronger than my frail biology.

Were it not for the fact that you are first and foremost a field -- only within the toroidal field is the biomatter able to float around -- like an amoeba in an ocean.

  I'd hardly imagine my biofield can be compared to an ocean. It can't be more than a few metres in size, can it?

It's a field. Size is irrelevant.

  Huh?

It's a field -- a singularity if you like -- as such it's neither bigger nor smaller than any other field -- be that an atom, a cell, a galaxy, or the entire universe.

  Oh come on, pull the other one.

Infinity -- I hate to point out the obvious -- ain't linear. If it's alive, as you undoubtedly are, with a north and south pole to boot, then like it or not, you cannot ultimately be less than any other field.

  Tell that to the jellyfish dropped from an aeroplane, as it splats on the runway.

Oh, do you know anything about bifurcation?

  Er... can't actually say I do.

Like to look it up? Here -- I'll google it:
bifurcation

Dictionary result for bifurcation

/bʌɪfəˈkeɪʃ(ə)n/
noun
  1. the division of something into two branches or parts.

    "the bifurcation of the profession"
    • either of two branches into which something divides.
      plural noun: bifurcations

  And... am I supposed to draw some stunning conclusion?

Well, 3D reality is either the left or right branch, depending on which way you're looking.

  And? How's that going to help me survive the runway?

Newton's third law, let me google it for you...

  If you must...

Formally stated, Newton's third law is: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The statement means that in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects. The size of the forces on the first object equals the size of the force on the second object.

  And? I still fail to see how I'm supposed to stop being dead?

Well, for you to die you'd have to undergo bifurcation -- going into one branch, becoming pure thing, pure matter -- what you call "dying".

  But my soul will live on? Hardly comforting to a convinced atheist such as myself.

No, you seem to be overcomplicating things. Newton never mentions souls, does he.

  Definitely not.

So, for bifurcation to happen -- one outcome, one branch has you splatting into the runway, enjoying termination of your biological phase, experiencing nothing in its glorious fullness, whatever "nothing" might be -- I assume you as a committed atheist have a deeper understanding than I claim to have, whereas the other branch...

  What other branch? I fell in a straight line. I hit the ground. Gravity did it's stuff. I terminated. The end.

Were it not for the fact that gravity has its equal and opposite force, levity, which cannot be excluded from the equation -- no matter how hard you try, neither can you eliminate angular momentum...

  Angular momentum? I was falling in a straight bloody line! How on earth can you invoke angular momentum as a defence against obliteration?

The entire universe -- the galaxy -- every atom and cell is vibrating, spinning and revolving. How on earth can you pretend you're not subject to the force of angular momentum? Besides which, we're here discussing your field, not simply your body.

  And? When my body splats the field pops like a balloon, unless I'm much mistaken. Otherwise we'd see people bouncing when they hit the dirt, or brushing themselves down and walking away, if your angular momentum or levity was so powerful.

Wrong, wrong and wrong again.

  You're certainly a stubborn, persistent bastard -- I'll give that to you.

Bi-fur-cation... capisce? And the conservation of energy...

  as in Newton's second bloody law... this time I'll google it for the benefit of pseudo-scientists who like to imagine bifurcation can save a jellyfish from the runway:

Newton's second law states that the acceleration of an object is proportional to the force acting on it, and inversely proportional to its mass. This law can be used to help show that conservation of energy, which tells us that the total energy of an isolated system remains constant over time, is true.

Excellent. So you see -- the total energy has to remain the same. My toroidal field can't just be eliminated from the equation. Angular momentum has to be conserved.

  No - it - doesn't. It's converted into sound and fury -- to quote Shakespeare -- signifying nothing -- as in death. Capisce!

Ah -- but you seem to have overlooked one small matter.

  Really?

Apparently so. Your excellent definition of Newton's second law and how it pertains to the conservation of energy explicitly refers to so called "isolated systems" -- in other words -- the left or right branch of our bifurcation -- what at times we refer to as 3D, or even material reality.

  God. Will he never end?!

It may be expedient to play around with "isolated systems", but doing so you're basically playing God, which is highly irregular, to say the least.

  Playing God -- nothing could be further from the truth. We're eliminating God and all mumbo jumbo from the equation.

Er... if you're doing so by insisting that reality can be or is an isolated system, then believe it or not, you've committed the solecism of substituting yourself in the place of God. How on earth can you claim or assume that reality is a isolated or closed system? How on earth can you pretend that infinity is only something that happens at the far end of the universe, out of sight and out of mind, or prior to Big Bang? or only on a vast, vast scale... You never succeeded in eliminating God, if that was in fact your intention -- you merely usurped and claimed the God given right to define and determine the isolated nature of systems -- to ignore or deny the fact that systems are only systems if you insist on viewing only one branch of the bifurcation -- which you assiduously do -- to your credit.

  And what would you have us do? Dream about jellyfish floating in another world where miraculously they bounce back into the sky?

I would have you follow the laws of science -- the conservation of energy, of fields, of momentum and so on -- what you're able to see here on one side of reality is half the story, half the picture, and the wall, as I stated at the outset, is nearly complete.

  What wall?

The event horizon. The base. The fundament. The crash test site. The y-chromosome as opposed to the x, which seems to head off one way -- branching into masculinity, which is fine as far as it goes, but no further.

  Jesus wept. Pseudo-science would be a blessing in comparison to this... cognitive dysentery.

Ah -- you see -- we're reaching the crux -- the moment when the wall is fully formed, and the child in the womb is faced with the choice -- to insist that his prior worldview is complete and unalterable, or to allow the spasms and new gravitational waves to propel him in a new, inconceivable direction.

  So, you actually mean to say that the wall we're building is what triggers birth?

Why would I play around with words like that? I mean exactly what I said. The wall is nearly complete. In terms of infinity -- finding or achieving anything firm or solid is incredibly difficult when there are always more or less limitless variables or probabilities. If and when a wall is complete -- a field shifts from what seems like circular to what seems like angular momentum -- but that all depends, ultimately, on how and from what angle your perception is working. I, as a scientist and mathematician, do not pretend to know more than can be known, and certainly have no intention of limiting your power or prerogative to perceive from any number of different angles, including the unique, highly specific angle of the closed or isolated system, if you so desire, but please don't ask me to pretend that one particular angle can or does have exclusive viewing rights, when the most basic, cursory investigation of conscious-awareness, not to mention infinity, as opposed to reality, indicates that to do so would be a gross dereliction of my duty to apply scientific method.

  So, you have the gall to say that our empirical science is incomplete?

If you choose to insist that all systems are finite -- then you're playing God, and that can hardly be good science, can it, unless you're willing to accept that playing God is a great way to build a wall and achieve a resounding near crash experience when, at the last minute, you pull the rabbit from the hat of life, and realise it has two long, floppy pink and white ears, not one, and suddenly you call to mind the beauty of bifurcation, and somewhere deep inside, a yearning and longing to be in another branch of reality -- the one known as life -- the toroidal field experience -- causes you to temporarily suspend your allegiance and adherence to the left-right-no-matter-what-it-takes splat brigade.

  Ah -- well, we'll just have to see if your precious potential bifurcation reveals itself at the last moment -- when all appears to be lost --

When you've finally arrived at the ultimate expression of why - the y - leading somewhere definably definite.

  And you think the shareprice will rebound?

Not necessarily -- you may discover that you no longer need that money thing at all -- that you were in fact heir to a vast, unforeseen fortune -- the ability to extract value and meaning from the so-called ether -- the kind of wealth that cannot be stolen or lost -- but will reveal the more you draw on it the more you possess, the deeper the bonds of connectedness, in a non-isolated, unsystem of fieldish-ness.

  Ah -- now I zee.

Indeed...
