28 theses

Formulation, post date, nearest science and an honest status.

Past, present and future happen in the same instant that humans call "now" (2013–2017).

Eternalism, Barbour, Rovelli.

Matches.

Matches in the time domain.

10. Explisication

A superposition of understanding: clear locally, unclear globally, or the reverse (Oct 4, 2014).

The fact of pain exists, its duration is feedback (Nov 30, 2013).

Melzack's two-component model; central sensitization.

Matches.

15. Understanding ≠ living up to it

To understand is one thing; to live up to the understanding is harder (Jun 18, 2013).

Knowing–doing gap.

Matches.

16. Fear is the unexplained

Fear is the impossibility of explaining something to yourself (May 8, 2013).

Carleton (2016), intolerance of uncertainty.

Jung; Berne.

A stable philosophical position.

Dawkins' memes; entropy and dispersal.

Matches.

20. God = information, life = energy

Discovery is remembering hidden genetic knowledge (Feb 14, 2017).

Wheeler's "it from bit"; Landauer.

The first half matches the physics of information.

21. God as a process

God is motion, an infinite sequence of iterations in which light disperses (Jan 2014; Sep 2016).

Whitehead's process philosophy; iterated function systems.

Matches a whole school of philosophy.

22. Fractal nesting

A human is an atom, a group is a molecule; nothing has changed since the first dividing cell (2014).

Simon's "Architecture of Complexity"; holons.

Matches.

23. Consciousness is a server cluster

Your consciousness is one cluster of a single RAM (Feb 11, 2016).

Bostrom's simulation hypothesis.
