Universe is the aggregate of all humanity's consciously
apprehended and
communicated nonsimultaneous and only partially overlapping
experiences.
|
|
302.00
Aggregate means sum-totally but nonunitarily conceptual
as of any one
moment. Consciousness means an awareness of otherness.
Apprehension means
information furnished by those wave frequencies tunable
within man's limited sensorial
spectrum. Communicated means informing self or others.
Nonsimultaneous means not
occurring at the same time. Overlapping is used because
every event has duration, and
their initiatings and terminatings are most often of
different duration.1 Neither the set of
all experiences nor the set of all the words used to
describe them are instantly reviewable
nor are they of the same length. Experiences are either
involuntary (subjective) or
voluntary (objective), and all experiences, both physical
and metaphysical, are finite
because each begins and ends.
|
|
(Footnote 1: The complex of event sequences is most often characterized by overlappings. A man is born, grows up, has children and grandchildren. His life overlaps that of his grandfather and father and that of his children and grandchildren. But his grandfather's life did not overlap his children's nor his grandchildren's lives. Hence, partially overlapping.) |
|
303.00
Universe is the comprehensive, historically synchronous,
integral-aggregate
system embracing all the separate integral-aggregate
systems of all men’s consciously
apprehended and communicated (to self or others) nonsimultaneous,
nonidentical, but
always complementary and only partially overlapping,
macro-micro, always-and-
everywhere, omnitransforming, physical and metaphysical,
weighable and unweighable
event sequences. Universe is a dynamically synchronous
scenario that is unitarily
nonconceptual as of any one moment, yet as an aggregate
of finites is sum-totally finite.
|

304.00
Our definition of Universe provides for the undiscovered
and for the yet-to-
be discovered. Do not worry about that farthermost star
which is yet to be consciously
apprehended by any human being. Do not think we have
not provided for those physical or
chemical phenomena as yet not observed and recorded
by human or mechanical sensing
devices. The existence of such phenomena may not have
even been postulated, but they
can all be accommodated by our definition of Universe.
Because we start with whole
Universe we have left out nothing: There is no multiplication
by amplification of, or
addition to, eternally regenerative Universe; there
is only multiplication by division. The
farthermost star and the most unfamiliar physical phenomena
are all accommodated by
further arithmetical subdividing of our aggregate of
overlapping experiences. Nothing
could have been left out when you start with whole Universe.
(See Secs.522.32,
537.31,
540.03, and
1050.13.)

Synergetic Advantage: Macro Micro
|
|
305.01
Universe is the starting point for any study of synergetic
phenomena. The
Principle of Synergetic Advantage
(see Sec. 229)
requires
that we return to the Universe
as our starting point in all problem consideration.
We assiduously avoid all the imposed
disciplines of progressive specialization. We depend
entirely upon our innate facilities, the
most important of which is our intuition, and test our
progressive intuitions with
experiments.
|
|
305.02
Universe is, inferentially, the biggest system. By
starting with Universe, we
automatically avoid leaving out any strategically critical
variables. In the Universe,
everything is always in motion and everything is always
moving in the directions of least
resistance. When we are dealing always in terms of a
finite Universe or totality of
behavior, we are able to work from the generalized whole
to the particular or special-case
manifestation of the generalized accounting. This is
the basis of the grand philosophic
accounting of quantum mechanics.
|
|
305.03
I have found during my whole life that I have had
a problem dealing with
society because I am dealing with that which is not
obvious to the rest of society. I have
found that Universe is actually operating in an entirely
different way from the way society
thinks it is. Society is living in a sort of “fault.”
The kind of fault I am thinking of is like an
Earth fault, like a great cliff, a great discontinuity
in Earth’s surface. There are great
discontinuities in the public’s image of what the Universe
is.
|
|
305.04
We find no record of man having defined the Universe__scientifically
and
comprehensively__to include both the metaphysical and
the physical. The scientist was
able to define physical Universe by virtue of the experimentally
verified discovery that
energy can neither be created nor lost; therefore that
energy is conserved; therefore it is
finite. Thus, man has been able to define successfully
physical Universe__but not, as yet,
the metaphysical Universe.
|
|
305.05
Our definition of Universe includes both the objective
and the subjective, i.e.,
all voluntary experiences (experiments) as well as all
involuntary experiences
(happenings). The total of experiences is integrally
synergetic. Universe is the
comprehensive, a priori synergetic integral. Universe
continually operates in
comprehensive, coordinate patternings that are transcendental
to the sensorially minuscule
apprehension and mental-comprehension and prediction
capabilities of mankind,
consciously and inherently preoccupied as he is only
with special local and
nonsimultaneous pattern considerations. Angle and frequency
modulations, either
subjective or objective in respect to man’s consciousness,
discretely define all events or
experiences which altogether constitute Universe. (See
Secs. 208
and 503.)
|
|
305.06
To each of us, Universe must be all that isn’t me,
plus me.
|
|
306.00
Universe and Self
|
|
306.01
People say to me, "I think you have left something
out of your definition of
Universe." That statement becomes part of my experience.
But never will anyone disprove
my working hypothesis because it will take experimental
proof to satisfy me, and the
experiment will always be part of the experience of
my definition, ergo included. This
gives me great power because my definition of Universe
includes not only the physical but
also the metaphysical experiences of Universe, which
the physicists thought they had to
exclude from their more limited definition of the finite
physical portion of Universe. The
metaphysical embraces all the weightless experiences
of thought, including all the
mathematics and the organization of data regarding all
the physical experiments, science
itself being metaphysical.
|
|
306.02
My Universe is that portion of the intercommunicated
aggregate of all
conscious and operationally described experiences of
all history’s beings, including my
own, which is now totally recallable only in fragments
as progressively and spontaneously
tunable within my own angular orientation and zonal
discernment limits of the
multidirectional and multimagnitude, sensorial-frequency-spectrum
inventory of the
frequently accumulating, integrating, and accommodatingly
rearranging memory album of
all discernibly unique patternings whatsoever. While
in many ways similar, each of
humanity’s individual’s Universes must always seem to
differ in some total experience
inventory aspects.
|
|
306.03
The scenario events of Universe are the regenerative
interactions of all
otherness and me.
|
|
307.01
Universe is the ultimate collective concept embracing
all intelligible,
inherently separate evolutionary events, which apparently
occur always and only through
differentiating considerations that progressively isolate
the components of whole and
inclusive sets, supersets, and subsets of generalized
conceptioning in retrospectively
abstracted principles of relationships.
(See Sec.1056.15.)
|
|
307.02
As defined, Universe is inherently unitarily inconceivable.
|
|
307.03
There may be no absolute division of energetic Universe
into isolated or
noncommunicable parts. There is no absolutely enclosed
surface, and there is no
absolutely enclosed volume. Universe means “toward oneness”
and implies a minimum of
twoness.
|
|
307.04
Because of the fundamental nonsimultaneity of universal
structuring, a
single, simultaneous, static model of Universe is inherently
both nonexistent and
conceptually impossible as well as unnecessary. Ergo,
Universe does not have a shape. Do
not waste your time, as man has been doing for ages,
trying to think of a unit shape
"outside of which there must be something," or "within
which, at center, there must be a
smaller something."
|
|
308.00
Universe is finite because it is the sum total of
finitely furnished experiences.
The comprehensive set of all experiences synergetically
constituting Universe discloses an
astronomically numbered variety of subset event-frequency
rates and their respective rates
of conceptual tunability comprehension. It takes entirely
different lengths of time to
remember to "look up" different names or facts of past
events. Universe, like the
dictionary, though integral, is ipso facto nonsimultaneously
recollectable; therefore, as
with the set of all the words in the dictionary, it
is nonsimultaneously reviewable, ergo, is
synergetically incomprehensible, as of any one moment,
yet is progressively revealing.
|
|
309.00
Universe is the minimum of intertransformings necessary
for total self-
regeneration.
|
|
310.01
Our modern concept of Universe is as a comprehensive
system of energy
processes. Universe is a nonsimultaneously potential
vector equilibrium. The integrity of
Universe is implicit in the external finiteness of the
entirely embracing circumferential set
of the integrated vectors of the vector equilibrium
that always enclose the otherwise
divisive, disintegrative, entirely embraced internal
radial set of omnidirectional vectors.
Universe is tensional integrity.
|
|
310.02
The star tetrahedron’s entropy may be the basis of
irreversible radiation,
whereas the syntropic vector equilibrium's reversibility__inwardly,
outwardly__is the basis
for the gravitationally maintained integrity of Universe.
The omnidirectional, omniwave,
propagating pulsivity of Universe realizations is eternally
potential and implicit in the
vector equilibrium.
|
|
310.03
Universe and its experiences cannot be considered
as being physical, for they
balance out as weightless. Every positively weighted
"particle" has its negatively weighted
complementary, but non-mirror-imaged, counterpart behavior.
The integrated weights of
physical Universe add up to zero. The weightless experience
is metaphysical__physical
phenomena having been identified by the physicists as
being always uniquely weighable,
that is, ponderable, that is, detected by the mass-attracted
levering of an indicator needle.
|
|
310.10
Odd Ball
|
|
310.11
In synergetics we find the difference of exactly one
whole integer frequently
manifest in our geometrical interrelationship explorations.
Beyond the one additional
proton and one additional electron that progressively
characterize the hierarchy of the
already-discovered family of 92 regenerative chemical
elements and their short-lived
transuranium manifestability by high energy physics
experiments, we find time and again a
single integer to be associated with the positive-negative
energetic pulsations in Universe.
Because the energetic-synergetic relationships are usually
generalized relationships
independent of size, these single rational integer differentials
are frequently found to
characterize the limit magnitudes of asymmetric deviations
from the zerophase vector
equilibrium.
(See Sec. 1043.)
|
|
310.12
The minor aberrations of otherwise elegantly matching
phenomena of nature,
such as the microweight aberrations of the 92 regenerative
chemical elements in respect to
their atomic numbers, were not explained until isotopes
and their neutrons were
discovered a few decades ago. Such discoveries numerically
elucidate the whole-integer
rationalization of the unique isotopal system’s structural-proclivity
agglomeratings.
|
|
310.13
There is a phenomenon that we might describe as the
eternal disquietude of
the Odd Ball promulgating eternal reorderings, realignments,
and inexorable transformings
to accommodate the eternal regeneration integrity of
intellectually differentiable Universe.
This suggests philosophically that the individual metaphysical
human viewpoint__the
individual ego of the human__is indeed an essential function
of the eternally regenerative
integrity of complex law-governed Universe.
|
|
310.14
Possibly this mathematical Odd-Ball-oneness inherently
regenerates the ever-
reborn ego. Just when you think you are negative, you
find you are positively so. This is
the eternal wellspring of positive-negative regeneration
of acceleratingly heating entropy
and cooling-off syntropy, which is synergetically interoperative
between the inherently
terminal physical differentiating and the inherently
eternal metaphysical integration.

Humans as Local Universe Technology
|
|
311.01
Of all the subcosmic, integrally interpatterning complexes
that we know of in
our Universe, there is no organic complex that in any
way compares with that of the
human being. We have only one counterpart of total complexity,
and that is Universe
itself.2 That such a complex miniature Universe is found
to be present on this planet, and
that it is "born" absolutely ignorant, is part of the
manifold of design integrities.
|
|
(Footnote 2: Apparently, man matches the Universe in displaying the same relative abundance of the 92 self-regenerative chemical elements.) |
|
311.02
Universe is technology__the most comprehensively complex
technology.
Human organisms are Universe’s most complex local technologies.
|
|
311.03
Universe is the aggregate of eternal generalized principles
whose
nonunitarily conceptual scenario is unfoldingly manifest
in a variety of special-case, local,
time-space transformative, evolutionary events. Humans
are each a special-case
unfoldment-integrity of the multi-alternatived complex
aggregate of abstract, weightless,
omni-interaccommodative, maximally synergetic, non-sensorial,
eternal, timeless principles
of Universe. Humanity being a macro micro Universe-unfolding
eventuation is
physically irreversible yet eternally integrated with
Universe. Humanity cannot shrink and
return into the womb and revert to as yet unfertilized
ova. Humanity can only evolve
toward cosmic totality, which in turn can only be evolvingly
regenerated through new-
born humanity.
|
311.10
Humans as Ultimate Complexities
[311.10-311.18 Complex Humans Scenario]
|
311.11
Synergetics presents a picture of the multioptioned
operational field of
cosmic favorabilities, intertransformabilities, and
complementary interaccommodations
within which each human individual, his life, his world,
is always one alternately elective,
complex-integrity way Universe could have evolved.
|
|
311.12
No man or woman can ever prove when they wake up in
the morning that
they are the same person who they think they remember
went to sleep. They may dream
that they had other dreams, but there is now no way
to prove that there are not a great
many alternate "me's," and that one of them may have
awakened under one set of
alternate possibilities while the others may have awakened
under other circumstances, and
that each of them thinks that it is the only "me."
|
|
311.13
Let's assume that you have the realistically imaginative
capability to invent a
Universe wherein there are no substantive "things,"
a Universe wherein there are only
events. Life is first of all awareness. No otherness:
no awareness. Much otherness is
difference-from-me-ness. Events are cognizable and re-cognizable
only through awareness
of the occurrence of interrelationship differences in
sequentially observed conditions. Your
Universe would have to be a Universe of ever-changing
events, differentially adding here,
subtracting there, multiplying, and dividing, reaching
out or coming in, differentially
including and integratingly refining, either locally
gaining or losing, while continually and
complexedly transforming at a plurality of rates and
magnitudes. Within this Universe you
also invent all the 92 regenerative chemical elements
and their respectively unique,
repulsive or associative behaviors compounding to form
billions of unique substances
while catalytically disassociating such substances to
form all the chemical-element isotopal
agglomeratings. You may go on to invent all the generalized
principles of synergetic mass-
interattractiveness and entropic radiation, as well
as the latter’s reflectivity and refractivity.
And you will have to invent precession and all the unique
frequencies of the chemical
elements as well as each and all cyclic events. Then
you start playing your game of
Universe. You have all the stars and galaxies of stars
entropically exporting energy and
planets syntropically importing energies that, when
they reach critical mass, become new
stars as fragments of the exploded old stars become
cores for the beginning of new
planets. As you invent, you arrive at more and more
intertransformative complexities and
timing problems; the whole game gets more and more complicated.
Quite clearly
experiences must multiply, so the complexity of your
invented Universe multiplies
exponentially at a fourth-power rate in respect to the
arithmetical progression of time. And
since every event is always accomplished with six equieconomical,
four-dimensionally
directioned moves__the four dimensions being (1) inwardly,
(2) outwardly, (3)
circumferentially and equatorially around (axial spinning),
and (4) polarized,
involutionally-evolutionally, inside-outingly around__by
means of the alternative,
equimaximally economical optional move events you might
find by the close of each event
that you are six, five, four, three, or two radial zones
outwardly in any direction from
where you started__or right back where you started__and
you soon come to the complex
invention of thus-far-discovered billions of galaxies
consisting of approximately 100 billion
stars of the macrocosm and multibillions of invisible-to-naked-human-eye,
microcosmic,
associating and disassociating behavioral identities,
altogether camouflaged beneath the
blanket of make-believe "reality" of exclusively terrestrial
politics and economic me-
firstings, whose nonsensical preoccupation we call "today."
It is doubtful that the million-
light-year-distanced Andromeda nebula has any interest
in Republicans or Democrats,
communists or capitalists, or any other terrestrial
partisanships.
|
|
311.14
So it could be that human beings, wherever they occur
in Universe, may be
introduced as a means of coping metaphysically with
the most complex kinds of local
Universe problems, so that each one of us is where the
problem-solving of Universe is
being transacted. If we were to think of ourselves as
things__as china dolls, as kinds of
china dolls that would just get smashed up or would
just get worn or eroded away__that
wouldn’t be very good thinking. It would be much closer
to actual Universe to think of
ourselves as an absolutely continuous complex process.
We are quite possibly the most
complex of the problem-solving challenges of the invention
that is eternally regenerative
Scenario Universe. In this way each of us might be a
department of the mind of what we
might call god.
|
|
311.15
It is reasonable to suppose that there must be an
overall physical-
metaphysical cosmic accounting system that is always
omniconsiderately integrative of all
the a priori set of generalized interrelationship principles
that we have found scientifically
to be unfailingly operative in Universe. It may well
be that each of us humans is an
important function in sustaining the eternally regenerative
integrity of Universe. The
invention of the game of limited and terminal local
awareness that we call "life" is in
contradistinction to the concept of eternally total
cosmic knowledge, intellect, and
wisdom, whose totality of comprehensive comprehension
would answeringly cancel out all
questions and all problems, which would result in the
eternally timeless, sublime 0=0
equation of absolute perfection.
|
|
311.16
Local life in Universe involves the invention of time.
Time involves
nonsimultaneity and limited information__ergo, only partial
equatability. By introducing
time and the myriad differential of interevent lags
consequent to the exponentially
multiplying, reinterpositioning distance variables inherent
in the six alternative moves for
each of the myriad of differentially frequenced, never-simultaneous
events, the
exponentially multiplying complexity of interevent lags
accounts for both the micronuclear
and macroastronomical progressive range of distance
differentials of experience-limited,
local-Universe human observing. Since each of the only-mathematically-statable,
scientifically generalized laws of physical Universe
constitutes a statement of truth, and
since science has discovered a plurality of observable
and ever redemonstrably operative
truths__all of which are always omniinteraccommodative__it
may be said that truth is
complex. It is mathematically hypothesizable that all
of the truths are potentially
integratable and that the resulting integral truth constitutes
the cosmic integrity that
humans intuitively sense to be in governance of Universe
and speak of to one another with
the inadequate sound-word god.
|
|
311.17
We can thus invent a hypothetical Universe with a
limited game of individual
human participation in only-locally-occurring, time-distance
morphation awareness
conceptualizations integratingly cognizant, as the sequential
reality of human realization,
of the complexedly interacting plurality of omniinteraccommodative
cosmic laws that
altogether enact events in pure principle, so reliably
pure as to be sensorially apprehended
by human brains and partially comprehended by human
minds.
|
|
311.18
We may logically assume that the intellectual cosmic
integrity of the
timeless, sublime integral of absolute perfection must
continually test its integrity of
eternal regenerativity; wherefore the integral that
we inadequately identify as god requires
a plurality of local sensing monitors to be omnideployed
in the time-distance-
differentiated, nonsimultaneously conceptual, serial
Universe to continually observe the
local Universe events, while also being progressively
advantaged with an ever larger
inventory of the discovered laws governing cosmic regeneration
integrity, and thus
equipped, to cope metaphysically with each of the profusion
of unprecedentedly unique
regenerative complexities that we speak of as problems.
In effect god differentiates cosmic
integrity into a time-distance-differentiated plurality
of limited, local, metaphysical,
intellectual experiences with which to test the capability
of “god” to reintegrate and
restore its timeless zerophase unity.
