The Reflexive Universe

Blogger Ref http://www.p2pfoundation.net/Multi-Dimensional_Science

When I was developing my own cosmology, Arthur M. Young's Reflexive Universe was one of the books that exerted the greatest influence on me. It proposes a radical cybernetic theory (the Theory of Process), integrating esoteric thought and modern science, and explaining the evolution of consciousness in terms of four levels and seven stages. This simple mode of universal evolution, which he calls the "Arc," describes the descent of spirit (light) into matter and the ascent back to spiritual again, as indicated in the following diagram

The Theory of Evolutionary Process as a Unifying Paradigm. A slightly simpler version of this diagram appears on page 41 of The Reflexive Universe.)

The Fundamental Structure of Reality

In this book the author also proposes that the fundamental structure of reality is the vortex-shape or torus, the most complex natural topological entity, with a number of unique properties, including the volume formula, 2pi²R³, the same as the Einstein-Eddington universe or hypersphere, and the fact that a map drawn on the surface of a torus requires seven colours for all bordering countries to be distinguished by different colours. This then ties in with the seven stages of evolution in the arc and other esoteric teachings.

The Torus

The inventor and philosopher Arthur M. Young proposes that the torus is the fundamental structure of reality is the vortex-shape or torus, the most complex natural topological entity

two rotating perpendicular circularities

the torus - seven topological distinctions

As summarised by Frank Barr, the torus is"a self-referential "time-structure" with numerous unique properties (Young, 1976) such as:

    1) composition from two rotating "perpendicular circularities";
    2) the shape of a vortex, an entity which is consubstantial with its matrix--i.e., the only means bywhich self-sustained motion can exist in a given medium;
    3) the same volume formula, 2pi²R³, as the Einstein-Eddington universe, the so-calledhypersphere.
    4) a universal distribution, occurring with photons and particles through the cellular centriole tothe universal hypersphere;
    5) the ability to reconcile the continuum of relativity and the discreteness of quantum theory;
    6) the means to explain the ancient puzzle of "free will in a universe run by God" or how therecan be self-determined entities in the continuum; and
    7) seven topological distinctions--(i.e., a map drawn on the surface of a torus requires sevencolors in order for all bordering countries to be distinguished by differences in color).
