No, sorry if I gave you that impression, I do not expect there to be a boundary, I was playing devils advocate. Infinity for me is a somewhat philosophical question simply because I do not know enough to confidently assert the topology of the Universe. I do however beg the question in regards to a finite Universal structure that 'if' it is finite then how is it so?
Philosophically speaking
the Earth can be considered both finite and infinite as in if you run in the same direction on the surface for long enough, you end up where you started, however if you venture upwards you soon realize the finite spherical structure.
How the Universe is necessarily structured I cannot say with any certainty, the consensus seems to change from infinite to a deceptively small hall of mirrors.
I think the difficulties being addressed in your previous conception of infinite, was that you seemed stuck on the idea of everything separating apart infinitely. There are many concepts of infinite that address this issue eg; Standing waves, Multiverse's etc, etc. I'm confident that Science will lead us to more clarity, perhaps not a definitive answer in my lifetime but you never know.
Hi SU,
I've bolded the part of your reply that is the correct way to view existence. People often assume it must be one way or the 'other', but this is incorrect, and not just because I say so. It has been intuited and deduced regularly from Human perspective, and is now verifiable using the language of modern science and philosophy. Thus, your intuition is also correct. There are viable ways to test your intuition with the scientific method, now, much to the apparent disgust of those who benefit from the current state of 'play'

. Nothing is 'assumed', but is deduced and testably so!
A rapidly growing number of Real scientists are moving forwards with this as we converse.

Every part of Physics connects with the Ether/Vacuum.
It is impossible to avoid the Infinite Vacuum.
ABC of physics begins from Ether/Vacuum.
===================..
Antiparticles live in Vacuum/ Ether Sea.
/Dirac/
An electron interacting with Ether/Vacuum becomes infinite.
/QED/
More then 90% of the matter in the Infinite Vacuum/Ether/Universe
is unseen " dark matter ".Nobody knows what it is.
etc...................
Why?
Because:
The problem of the exact description of vacuum, in my opinion,
is the basic problem now before physics. Really, if you can’t correctly
describe the vacuum, how it is possible to expect a correct description
of something more complex?

Infinity..
The only place where to look for energy that keeps Universe ticking.
I think infinity has a little bit too much mystery to it. One thinks of infinity as something unreachable, in both directions- either small , or big.
In fact, there is a way to resolve a question what infinity ends with. It may be scalable concept, but I would like to look at the ultimate scale.
Let us look at infinity in smallness. Usually we think about it as something we try to reach by dividing what we have. For example, we may say that space is infinitely divisible.
That approach does not give closure to infinity. As we divide space in smaller volumes, we reach infinity of natural number divisions and still we feel there must be something smaller. Then we divide space dimensions itself, reducing them to infinitesimal, reducing space to infinitesimal existence, and still we feel we have not reached the end - there has to be smaller infinitesimal dimensions.
However, the way to reach closure would be to have space totally disappear. 0 space. But such situation obviously is not reachable by division .
So I have come to conclusion that there is only one way to close , jump over division infinity to smallest possible infinity. That involves exactly such strange piece of space dimension which both exists and does not exist at the same time ( it is enough if it happens in the time of the reality we perform the search for infinite smallness) .
Such an infinitesimal space dimension, oscillating between 2 states of existence and non-existence so fast that we would never be able to tell whether it exists or not is perfectly suited to be the result of infinite division of space we perform.
So we can say, that, as we try too find the smallest piece of space by looking at its infinite divisionability property, is an infinitesimal dimension of space that both exists and does not.
Now when we have divided space into such manner, we would like to know how many these smallest parts of space do we have?
Obviously, a lot. But how many?
If we divided space dimensions by natural numbers n, we would end up with infinity n->oo and size of a piece would be 1/oo ; however, obviously we can divide in smaller pieces using real numbers, and using any other numbers whose total number would be Cantors infinities , and size 1/ infinities. Still we would not account for all existant/ non-existant origin pieces as the pieces we get by division with all those infinities EXIST, hence they can not be the smallest, hence their number is not given by these infinities.
The answer from what is available in mathematics and from the peculiar property of tetration and other hyperfast operations to produce complex numbers from real is very simple, and as such will be laughed at here. Nevertheless, there does not exist a proof why it can not be true.
So , the number that should be used to count these smallest parts of Space which are both in existance and not in existence is I - imaginary unit. About size, we should be careful, since size is a relative measure.
At this point, I have to stop - I can not give better description - since I have realized there are issues about counting with complex numbers I have not understood yet.
Similarly, as we increase infinity of space in size or /and number of dimensions,we have to reach a closure as well, in a different way but obviously involving circle, sphere or Mobious circle.

I still favour the thinking that neither infinite nor continuous can be part of physical world -
and it is most likely hidden in scales
imagine that pure space is being divided in smallest that can be in physical existance - and then infinitesimal number of smallnes - the closest we can get to pure space - now such "nearly" pure space starts again in dividing from two - and then the "infinite" is hidden in what is seemingly another pure space

I can see the same logical pathway in your thinking that I have used. I know many others have also done the same. I gave up the search for the methodology of the intervening space between one and whole as being too complex to fully/accurately be described, but stuck with the two pieces of knowledge that could be known without the use of measuring.
As you have found , the best description is one. the next step is problematic unless you set the outer parameter as well....."whole". Between the two main parameters exist realms of time , space and motion that defy definitive description at this stage. Most scientists would say that there is more to learn than we actually know. however , we can know this, that because the parameters must exist. ......One and Whole....then it must be finite.....because if the system is closed on one end , then it cannot be open at the other and still be measured in any portion.
This however, does not resist nor does it deny the bulk of behaviors we can measure and laws that are stated in science. in fact some of the most rigorously entrenched laws must be true in order for these behaviors to exist.
1. conservation of energy
2. action at a distance
3. constant speed of light
4. relativity
These are each very much a part of this thought process.
For instance, if conservation of energy were not true, then I would agree with infinity. If action at a distance did not exist then I would not argue that "another" type of interaction was occurring apart from a time line. If speed of light were not a part of science , then faster travel ling particles rather than something other than a time line would be viable.
These things as well as many other behaviors which are entrenched in thinking are enhanced , rather than disputed by this line of thought. The separation of TIME,MOTION,AND SPACE as differing ways of measuring the same thing is key to what I am saying. They all measure the number of occurrences of the originating particle, relative to the observer.

Hi Iseason, bukh, gorgeous,socrates et al.
The reason I invoked imaginary numbers is not just out of fancy. I have been thinking a lot what negative and imaginary numbers count.
So far, the closest I have got to understanding is that in any process we observe (including, in my opinion, infinite division, division of a kind that not only reduces the volumes of space, but deconstructs the dimensions of space itslelf, leaving those existing/non-existing oscillating smallest parts):
From the point of view of given process :
-Positive numbers count things that exist
-Negative numbers count things that does not exist, but can exist
-Positive Imaginary numbers count things that neither exist, nor not exist- oscillatory existance- and they count the moments when they exist
-Negative imaginary numbers count the moments when these oscillatory things that could exist, does not exist.
There fore try to apply somehow imaginary unit to the smallest oscillating parts of Universe as they fit this description, and, since they are fundamental, if math is a proper expression of underlaying reality, they should be describable by most fundamental parts of mathematics- I, 1,-1, 2, e, Pi, ..with clear interpetation why so.
Now obviously space of all negative numbers include all things that does not exist but could exist- so quite naturally that Imaginary unit has a restriction on it- once it turns from oscillatiory thing into one that does not exist, but could, it has to become a negative number- for some reason it is happening as multiplication: I*I=-I*-I= -1 The non-existant things can be obtained either from existing part of oscillatiry unit, or non-existant- any one of them is not enough to create existing thing. You need both, as can be seen in next paragraph.
If oscillatory thing has to become existant, it can not avoid becoming one of those counted by positive numbers as there are no others, since there are no others: In mathematics that requires participation of both of its 2 states Hence -I*I=1 .
Obviously, an oscillating thing in any system has energy, so the same should be true for basic oscillating space constituent, not because we want so, but because of its philosophical nature it can not not have- as its moving between existance and non-existance.
Another thing with imaginary number is that it is rather self sufficient- as obvious from Euler equation, or from simple fact that:
I^(1/I) = e^(Pi/2) and
I^I= e^(-Pi/2) so all needed constants e, 2, Pi are included in I and basic arithmetic operations ( which of course by now means exhaust all possible operations of any rank, but act as attractors to the possible infinity of hyperoperations)
I have been looking at infinite smallness . The fact that 2 appears in formulas, is easy to understand, since we talk about basically 2 states- existance and non-existance.
The fact that e and Pi is there is also possible to explain by thinking how these smallest parts can form existing, non-existing, and oscillatory aggregates. Most likely, they would form and dissappear rather spontaneously, so the size of aggregates in each scale, the lenght that can be formed by more than one oscillating infinitesimal becoming existing or non-existing by joining should follow some probability distribution that could be normal, could be something else.
Also, Pi should offer a link to BIG infinity since.
There many ifs, of course, but I agree with Iseason, that, despite Godel, once You involve enough uncountable, undefinable quantities like I, You can have a closure. Again, what is missing in mathematics is mathematics of operations.

Hi Ivars
i am not trying to change anything that we can perceive. Science is as astute at measuring what can be measured for my liking. What I am proposing is another methodology in the presence of a set of parameters .....Smallest and largest states.
this is a view held relative by us as we exist, that we can perceive things on a size , mathematically balanced and constant scale. In every instance we do this (apart from the theoretical) we involve time,motion, and space. If we were to remove one of these our measurements would be meaningless.
This leads to a limited behavior pattern in the absence of a trinity measuring system.
1. If I try to measure space without time and motion ......I have nothing
2. If I try to measure motion without time and space ......I have nothing
3. If I try to measure time without motion and space ......I have nothing.
These tools themselves are measurable. You simply need to look again at the method you use when INCLUDING them into the structure of the events.
You have talked about positive and negative. 1 = beginning.....Whole = end (from the relative position of the measure)
The time line system starts at the beginning and moves fluidly through time and space to the end. This is how we have evolved to measure the system we inhabit. But there are reasons this cannot be correct. Light from stars are a key indicate of this.a wave of light travels some 14 billion years to finally reach earth and then becomes heat or some other form. That wave existed in the past and again in the future.
Even when I consider what my eyes might be able to perceive in real time , the same applies. In real time ,until it hits my eyes it is in both the future and the past relative to me.
I will not receive the light to my eyes until......so it is in my past
The light hitting my eyes will be a future event for me...but to the light it is always the present (relatively)
So I have me as a relative position ..the light in my past and in my future at the same time.....This one example of measuring shows that position creates whether the light is in a time line ...If past ,future and present are all consecutively active in everyday life. how then we not follow the same course when looking universally...
we cannot follow from first cause to now and understand the functions....But using the two parameters of one and whole we can see interaction as it creates the positions that we will use to measure this in a time line fashion.
one =whole.....The middle ground according to maths is infinite.
rather than using motion as a measure , I prefer occurrences of the energy particle. the occurrences are the laws with which the whole becomes relative
beginning
beginning .....Whole
beginning .....one occurrence......Whole
Beginning one occurrence......one occurrence....Whole.
and so on . The energy doesn't have to move and space is occupied by where the energy "was" rather than where it will move to . Of course the method has a lot of cycles to create the universe which creates more and more "occurrences " , but even distribution means that the occurrences need to be in sync universally to balance time
when an occurrence has been it can not inhabit the same position . In fact , that positions of all of the other occurrences must shift according to each new occurrence. What it creates is a constantly evolving pattern who's only law is that all occurrences be as far as possible from every other occurrences as possible... if there are 8 occurrences then the geometrical picture would equate to finding the eight positions that are farther est from each other as possible...
You can try this.
draw a square....place a dot in the cent re......now consider where to equally spaced dots would look if they must be spaced at the great es distance away from each other.....not add a third..it must affect the positions of the first two...then a fourth...
So far the positions can just hug corners.....add a fifth....then a sixth.....
the one law applied only one position can exist as the current occurrence. It affects the position of every other dot. When you consider the complexity of the universe , and applie the same rules , you must move huge tracts of occurrences for each new one added...We live in a moving universe, but motion is not been going on for a short period of time......imagine this rhythm getting to a point of not being able to just distance occurrences but had to overlap them in order to get balance....pretty soon going back to an original position but having to change it to avoid meeting itself. time and space become very important as layers upon layers ..

QUOTE: "time and space become very important as layers upon layers .."
Yes - exactly

Everything is into oscillating existance - smallest dimensionalities are in oscillating existance ON - OFF - and synchronized on/off - and one ON-pattern is a once in a Universal-Time occurence - it is a CONFIGURATION - just this one configuration and only one time - never ever again the same configuration
Smallest dimensionality can be either D or L - (black or white - yin or yang - or whatever one like to call them) and when a cellular automaton system is being applied on such a 3D grid of smallest dimensionalities randomly presented by D and L there will be a ever changing pattern, with the characteristic that such a pattern will eventually be repetitive. Once a repetition is being established - such a repetition will represent a "particle" and such particles will be the smallest elements in the next scale.
Our physical scale - our Universe is just a scale - a scale defined by human scale - defined by the particle scale that is expressing human physical senses - human flesh and blood scale.
Motion is an illusion created by ever ongoing reconfigurations of patterns in wave-like changes entering into repetitions - circular standing waves - and that is what we define as particles.
What we perceive as existance is solely based upon the patterns by which the configurations of smallest dimensionalities scalewise enters into repetitions.
Every time ONE pattern - even the smallest pattern change - such a change will effect the whole universe in its next configurational expression - that is what can be said to be entanglement.

Hej bukh
In principle, agreed. But what about the role and state of BIGGEST dimensionalities? The other end of infinity?
In my opinion, the very special phase transition imaginary/physical happens at Kolmogorov vortex, or looping, or repetitive patterns of infinitesimal dimensions of SPACE ( NOT small pieces of 3D space) which is the balance point between these 2 infinities. For some reason, it is asymmetric, so development is ( mostly) unidirectional. The reason could be that Biggest infinity does not oscillate, but rotate.
We know only 2 motions when space becomes at least 2 dimensional - translation and rotation. In 1D space, there is only translation. As we increase the number of dimensions of space, rotations have more and more axis to rotate about.
What would be Your definition of rotation as illusion in 3D? The same repetitive patterns, right? What would happen in the center? What would happen on the outside if radius is infinity?
What would happen if the number of space dimensions (not size, but dimensions- 3,4,5, .....n........w,w1.........etc) goes to very big, infinity, or, even, to something beyond infinity? How wold then translation and rotation Illusion express themselves?
The logic for of repetition probably stays, but what is repetition in infinite dimensional space?
That is the same question as WHAT is the ultimate complexity? What is the limit of rotation in infinite dimensional space?
By analogy with oscillating smallest parts that are both in existence and not in existence, the maximum complexity has to be such that it is both complex and ultimately simple- oscillating complexity?

QUOTE: "But what about the role and state of BIGGEST dimensionalities? The other end of infinity?"
I like the simplicity that physical is being played within the infinity of smallest and largest.
And that mathematics is introvert and physical is extrovert.
Biggest dimensionalities - they are the Origin - they are the configurational expression when I=1
I think that phase the transistion imaginary/physical for the first time takes place when infinitisimals have reached a number where repetitions can occur, and I do not think that there exist anything but 3D. Smallest infinitisimals are 3D, they represent a ratio of pure space -
And IF - if we want to deal with something non-physical or prephysical or pre-Origin - meaning something that can be said to BE without being physical - then it could be - perhaps - something 1D, 2D - but it is meaningless to have a concept of pre-physical - it is better to say that pure space (filled with infinite number of smallest infinities) is what has always been. Nothing before that.
mathematical numbers - are 3D , any and each number is being represented by a ratio - so it is not possible to create anything 1D or 2D out from math.

27th May 2008 - 08:02 AM
Ivars and Buhk
I read through your talk in recent posts. One thing that sets the stage to make theory work within the current boundaries is that the value of both smallest quantity and universal needs to remain a constant. You cannot accept the on/off, nor the variance between universal and first particle without explanation.
this is entirely to bring the thought process in line with two accepted theories.
1. energy cannot be created nor destroyed
2. constant speed of light.
1. Energy cannot be created nor destroyed
means that if one variance point creates a difference (which I agree with ) then the size of the single variance point is the energy and the rest an illusion.
In this way both the universal value and the point of variance (which is actually all the energy) have the same value. you cannot have a "whole " or universal which actually exists at the same time as the variance instigator.
I agree that the motion we perceive is simply a varying of the single lowest denominator but will take it further to say that the particle "never shares time or space". It cannot , because it is all there is .
2.Constant speed of light
is a rather more difficult behavior to explain because I have argued before that faster than light speed is possible. When I did so ,I also was thinking that a smaller particle might exist than science was proposing. I no longer think this is the case . nor is it necessary in order for the behavior to be explained.
Since we can only perceive things ,no matter what we use , along a time line, the gaps within our ability to measure the pathways of the particle are limited to what is here and now. We follow this pathway which leads us to big gaps in space that , while they are empty to our perceptions, will somewhere along the time line be filled in.
This means that the particle doesn't EVER have to move anywhere in order to create the universe and the cycle which creates time is only by linking ALL of the occurrences in a manner that allows us to perceive them. Remember that we can perceive time via distance only and motion only by variation of time and space.
The on/off cycle is more of a beginning / end perception.
I think we are actually able to see the end in the same way as we perceive the beginning.
we just don't understand the parameters.

We have known about such things for many thousands of years.
The apeiron is not plainly spatiotemporal infinity, but the principle and the origin (Greek: archê) of existence itself. Since very little of Anaximander’s own words have survived, we have to turn to Aristotle for a description of the apeiron: “Everything has an origin or is an origin. The Boundless has no origin. For then it would have a limit. Moreover, it is both unborn and immortal, being a kind of origin. For that which has become has also, necessarily, an end, and there is a termination to every process of destruction.” (Aristotle, Physics 203b6-10).

Yes - exactly - the SIZE is the factor that determines said energy - or CHANGE - configurational change. And I like to think that everything can be calculated and expressed out from dimensionalities - there exist no such thing as a point - everything physical has a dimension. And with this standard ENERGY is constant - energy is bound up to dimension - and Origin condition is pure space - infinite in the sense that space has the size that space has - (like color of the moon -) and Origin energy is infinite or has the amount that it has -
The rest is about ratios and complexions -
The amount of energy is always measured by the size and the speed of the change that is characterizing the said amount of energy. It is on the very bottom line a matter about configurational change of a dimensional expression. And then we are back in smallest dimensionalities that dynamically arrange themselves in ever changing configurations - and scale-wise ordered or arranged -
AND then one can ask the question - do we have smallest dimensionality - ???? - or is it an illusion that that there exist a transistion from continuous and into discreteness - is true infinity hidden into infinite scaling ??? and does this imply that continuous is not a viable concept -
My logic (for the time being) tells me that true continuou is not a viable concept -
The logic question is then - if no continuity - what then about infinity ????
Constant speed of light is "easier" to handle - because now we are in a weldefined scale - human scale - and SPEED is "size" of "particle" times the frequency by which it can reconfigure - and speed of light is defined out from the photon of visible light - the photon being the smallest informational quant that can be percepted by human eyes. The size of this informational quant is accurately defined out from the human percepting sense that is called the eye.
faster than light - is it possible ? I have argued that information can be communicated upwards - scale-wise in the system - and therefore speed must be slightly faster in smaller scales - stepwise increasing when we move dawnwards - but of course this has nothing to do with speed in our physical scale. In our physical scale there is (perhaps) smaller informational quants where the product of Size x Reconfigurational Rate gives a bigger product - a higher speed.

Absolutely agreed -
Motion is an illusion - there is no motion - but there is oscillating reconfigurations - in all scales - so existance is purely defined out from oscillating PATTERNS of increasingly "bigger and bigger" - or perhaps one should say more and more complex configurations that takes a space. And time is strictly defined out from its location - time is strictly local - but universe is oscillating harmoniously - so perhaps it is more accurate to say that the yardstick for time-measurement is strictly local - and defined out from the complexity that is being measured.

I think we are actually able to see the end in the same way as we perceive the beginning.

Right - but irrespective how I try to see it - I have difficulties in understanding dynamic without change and to understand change without diescreteness - and change without oscillation of discreteness.

This is the inherent problem of taking things on paper literally, instead of actually trying to understand the Reality of them.
There cannot be more than One Infinite 'thing' existing. Existence (Space) needs no more than 3-dimensions (HxWxD), and motion, to be the way we observe it to be. It is effectively 'everything'. You must then try to understand the 'mechanism' whereby the infinite existence forms the finite 'things' that we observe and measure. 'Quantum' is a word that mainstream science currently uses, but it cannot describe anything that does not actually exist.
Instead of taking these words as some kind of 'literal gospel', why not try to find out the Reality of them for yourself? For instance, what is it, that is being positioned as 'quantum'? Whatever is imagined to be 'outside' of your 'big bang'...is this also 'quantum'?

We cannot reach T=0K.

Theoretically we can know what is hidden into T=0K

1. energy cannot be created nor destroyed
But Energy can change.
For example, from potential to kinetic and back.
Question; How does this process go?
The answer gives QED + SRT.
2. constant speed of light quanta.
For a photon, time is frozen, and its own clock shows zero.
Light quanta can go infinitely far in this zero time.
But if photon always goes with constant speed c=1,
it is mad particle. The photon must change its speed.
How does the light quanta works?
My opinion.
1.
The moving light quanta does not depend of a source.
So, thinking about photon, you can forget about a " source" .
It means that photon is an independent particle.
2.
Light quantum can travel with constant speed c=1.
and then we call it Photon.
3.
Light quantum can work with speed c>1.
and then we call it Electron.
4.
Light quantum can stop its moving and take
a rest c=0 and then we call it Antiparticle.
5.
Is my interpretation correct ?
Yes. It is correct. Why?
Because when Electron interacts
with Vacuum we also call it Antiparticle.
6.
If you doubt in my rightness, ask yourself :
What does " The Law of conservation and transformation
of energy" mean according to one single Light quanta ?

Well - let's assume that there is "something" beyond such an infinity - then there must also be something beyond that - and so on - and this can be continued into absurditum - the Origin of the Origin of the ----- at a certain point we (I) have to accept that Universe - that the stuff that we humans are an intimate part of - cannot self-percept the Origin of "ourselves" - perhaps the answer is hidden in the complexion - that in order to self-percept something, a certain level of complexion is needed - and there will be a natural gap - there will be a scale difference between what can be self-percepted - the self-percepting complexion must be scale-wise higher than the smallest - so infinity cannot per se EVER be understood.

Are you now suggesting that Universe is and ever repeating cyclus from pure space (filled with kinetic information) - Orgin Condition, being translated from 1 to 0, being translated from one true infinity and via physical universal life into the other true infinity, between the two extremes - the two true infinities represented by 1 and 0, and into the next following cyclus again starting with pure space (filled with kinetic information) - and so on ad infinitum ?
So the question is perhaps: Is physical fundamentally based upon discreteness - and "jumping" over infinity into the next following Universal cyclus.

Hi Guys
In answer to photon behavior.......A photon of light is the loneliest creature in the planet. It is so small that the chances of one running into another is truly astronomical...
If big bang were true and the greatest mass of base energy was compressed absolutely, then the closest possible connection could have only taken place in that one arrangement... If space expanded from that point (or every point) then photons cannot possibly interact. With what??? they are so small that everything else must travel incredible speeds below their own...A snail which stops moving is going at light speed to a photon. because as far as relativity is concerned , the photon is the observer of mass.
As for this speed being the Governor of time, being that it is postulated that going faster will reverse time. Either the photon sits just inside the boundary or it would be governed by the same rule...
My comments about light speed are meant to convey that in singular energy structure , there is no need to break the law of light speed in order to "be in different parts of the universe " zipping here , then there to place a pixel and run to the next spot......No ,,,that simply follows a time line view.
the singular energy has one rule that affects us most....we can see it , but only in the reflection of what it has done.

Well,
its not ready until its ready. But we ( 2 of us!) think we have made some progress since initial ideas little more than a year ago. So far nothing has happened that would kind of stop us short in tracks.

1) I did not have enough background to understand enough the depth of ideas
2) I do not like predigested food, so I wanted to reach own conclusions and see how they correspond with Bohm's.
The idea of Brownian motion of infinitesimal space dimensions (in form of hidden variables) comes from him , actually. I do not know his theory, but need to explain Sub quantum activity is obvious to me if we want to include more than just physics.

Hi
To give a little idea how jumps over infinity may happen- based on hyperfast operations ( mathematics). This is first set of ideas, obviously not lucid at all, but may be gives some ideas.
Probably, we have to start with tetra-integers n(4) , meaning n in a[4]n(4). These integers will have :
-Non associative, non-commutative partitions (since 2(4)+3(4) = 5(4)? will not be the same as 3(4)+2(4) in terms of the result of operation a[4]5 = a[4](2(4)+3(4)) is not the same as a[4](3(4)+2(4))
-correspondingly different combinatorics, ordered (e.g. hyper factorial 2^(3^(4^(5......^n) ))))
-different notion of primes , etc.
- once these rules are established, it should be possible to create :
tetra rationals Q(4)
tetra reals R(4)
tetra negative numbers and Z(4)
now, with this, it would be possible to extend the notion of equation to e.g.:
x[4]n+x[4]m = C
Which would allow to define tetra imaginary unit perhaps as solution to :
x[4]2=-1 (x^x=-1) and lead to properties of tetra complex numbers C(4).
if we have function a[4]n = f(a,4,n) obviously taking n-> infinity ends up with principally unreachable scale of infinity (tetra-infinity) if we take f(a,4,n) to infinity via taking a->infinity.
This allows to look for another notion of tetra - infinitesimal which would allow to establish tetra-differentiation and tetra-integration.
Now we can also answer the question about infinite tetration h(z) moving things to complex numbers from some reals.
The result of infinite h(z) = complex means that from the math point of view we use, the next scale(s) of infinity ( tetra and above) shows up like imaginary for C(3) .They are however real in R(4). However, from equation x^x=-1 and generally x[n]2=-1 it is obvious that there is a structure behind this. However, what the speed of tetration does, is to push the result over the limits of infinity scale we work in with normal, exponential functions and normal integers.
Obviously, the number of discrete scales of infinity thus corresponds to the number of operations- tetra, penta, etc. We may again form operation integers based on this and ask what are their partitions ,combinatorics etc and extensions to rational, real, etc values and calculus.
So we should end up with 3 types of integers
1) Integers for numbers
2) Integers for operations
3) integers for application times of operations to numbers
Each of them will have different partition laws and combinatorics; integers for NUMBERS is clear and well known, properties of integers for operations is not known, properties for integers for number of application of operations will depend on the number of operations. If operation number is fixed, e.g tetra= 4 these combinatorics/partitions of INTEGER n for number of applications of operations will be a function of operation so, n(4).
Now we can define pentation as exponentiation in scale based on tetration and move on with finding out the laws of arithmetics of n(5), n(6) etc. and corresponding Q(5), R(5), Z(5), C(5) and look for patterns how they develop, as we have N(n), Q(n), R(n), Z(n), C(n) etc. and corresponding calculus.
If we find them, we can extend these PATTERNS of laws of arithmetics/combinatorics to rational, real, imaginary operation numbers and see what happens.
Then we look back and try to understand the whole thing together.
The first instructive thing would be to develop arithmetic and combinatorics of tetration integers n(4) = application times of tetration to some number.
I got these ideas from Ramanujans f(x) mentioned in his notebooks volume 1, page 326-327 and Hardy's "Orders of infinity", combined+tetration and hyperoperations as such.

Exactly - and that is why I do not the very concept of Infinity and Contnuity - as long as we are dealing with measurements - and that is why infinite - or better say non-defined - is being restricted to the concept of pure space out from which ratios can be taken - and ratios are numbers - size IS relative - non-defined
And infinite can be reserved for the concept of repeating Universe ad infinitum, in one way or another by jumping over infinity once Universe has come to a complexion where it cannot be further complexisized - so the jump is necessary in order to avoid numbered infinity.

hi Iseason,
Well, You can not reach infinity, obviously, so infinity is not a really big number, its infinity.
However, you can jump over it into a different scale. There are numbers and numbers, not just normal integers we use for counting discrete objects.
E.g. take the famous thread here , 0,9999(9) = 1?
When You extend periods of 9 to infinity (meaning integer count of them n-> infinity) , You never reach it, obviously, however, there exists 1 which is beyond it- so also here jump over infinity of repeating 9-nes is well accepted, but to a different scale ( integer 1) .
This jump over infinity is called taking of limits, and is very well accepted notion in mathematics, however, the understanding of what happens when You do it is still on axiomatic ( it is so because it is so) level, as You can see from that thread.

And infinite can be reserved for the concept of repeating Universe ad infinitum, in one way or another by jumping over infinity once Universe has come to a complexion where it cannot be further complexisized - so the jump is necessary in order to avoid numbered infinity.
hej bukh
e.g. Rotation is obvious case of contained infinity. Getting out of rotating trajectory into another means jumping over infinity.
That is why I keep asking: If motion is an illusion , change etc etc WHAT happens in the centre of rotation? Is there a way to excape rotation (and infinity of it) via moving to exactly the centre?

If you do take the time to elaborate please judge my level of knowledge by the the question asked and answer accordingly. Then I'll go back into the audience.
A University of Toronto website says that infinities exist or don't exist depending on what type of math used. In those maths where infinity dose exist, in order to get an answer that makes sense does infinity have to be broken or taken out of an equation?
I ask that because it seems that to know something, that something has to first be separated from all else, bordered from whatever it came from, and then put back to see how it fits into where it came from.

If you think of infinity, consider Gauss's Electrical law of Maxwell's equations. The two variables of distance and electrical field equate to Charge. As one value becomes large, the other becomes small. The values cannot be infinity because their product must equal Charge, Q.

Hi gorgeous,
They do. Prove me wrong. ( Taking into account mathematical knowledge is by far not finished).
Spatial Infinity is 3-dimensional, and thus exists everywhere. Mathematics deals with finite measurement. Even if an equation ends in a supposed 'infinity', it still has a point to start from and thus is not representitve of true spatial 3-dimensional infinity...the 'boundless' and 'borderless' one you will find in the dictionary.
Now it's your turn to prove yourself 'right'.

Welcome orestis and others
The premise for my beginning this post was that infinity must be all-encompassing. It means that infinity "having no boundary" of "forever and ever", Would be evenly distributed to such a point that no area of it could be measured.
Several have argued that we can stand outside infinity or separate ourselves and then measure what's around it.I think not.
Others think mathematical infinities can be seen in physical terms....I think not
If Infinity does exist , it creates a universe of no variance and since we can measure the universe by it's parts , then it is not infinite......and nor is any part, because "having no boundaries" you cannot exist aside from it in order to measure just what you want to.
I am in favor of a singular particle universe. If you read back through this thread then you will get an understanding of the basic thought process. But whether the theory I favor is anything like correct or not , Infinity has only one behavior/law which governs it, and by proxy, one infinity would be all infinities and we could not measure a teaspoon of sugar.

Now I am repeating somewhat that I said previously - just for clarification - perhaps not neccessary to repeat - anyhow:
Imagine that the only infinite that is into existance - the one and only - is the dimension of "Pure Space" - same as saying that the dimension of Pure Space is not defined - it has the size that such a pure space has - it is infinite.
Pure Space has always been and will always be.
And now we come to the definition of being physical - to be a Universe.
Physical can best be defined as dynamic dimensionalities - a physical expression can best be defined as the "being" of dimensionalities that constantly change relative to each other. And a dimensionality can best be desribed as a configuration - a pattern - of smaller dimensions arranged spatially in said configuration. So physical become an ever changing pattern of such smallest dimensionalities arranged in space - arranged or placed in Pure Space. Physical IS 3D.
ANY dimensionality is a RATIO of Pure Space - any dimensionality - irrespective how many dimensionalities there are in Pure Space - any dimensionality represent a discrete 3D configuration - there exists no such thing as a point - no such thing as a sizeless point.
Dimensionalities are discrete and their number is finite - there is not an infinite amount of dimensionalities - Physical / Universe - is made of a finite number of dimensionalities -
And now we come to the crucial point - what happens when Universe come to a point where dimensionalities cannot been further divided - when we reach infinitely small - at this point the system "jumps" (according to Ivars idea) over infinity into another and new discreteness - and the whole system the whole Universal cyclus can repeat itsself.
This imply that PHYSICAL UNIVERSE IS DISCRETE AND FINITE AS A SYSTEM - AND CAN BE MEASURED RELATIVELY - ALL AND EVERYTHING THAT IS BEING MEASURED IN UNIVERSE IS RELATIVE MEASUREMENTS - AND THEY ARE EXACT RELATIVE MEASUREMENTS PROVIDED THAT THEY ARE BEING EXPRESSED IN EXACT TERMS - AND EXACT TERMS INVOLVE A BINARY SYSTEM.

Hey buhk
The place we are disputing is "pure space". I see that ANY space is available , without let to infinity. I will allow that each volume of space that is currently "free space" will become full in varying positions along a time line.
This is the job and cause of motion. As the motion of the earth goes through space, it does so as a broom sweeping along leaving as much dirt in its wake. Each potion occupied once will not be available to be used again. Universally , the same process is occurring. We can see much , because we ourselves are affect at a relative level. Each snapshot we can see is an order that is being followed precisely by all heavenly bodies.
Similarities are to be expected as galaxies sweep and move as a mass in their own right. Eventually, there will be a minimum of unoccupied positions, and like finishing a jigsaw , the work completes. But then the fun begins. If a Galaxy were to hit a part of space where ALL the pixels were available, then it would increase it's travel in that direction. Superhighways will exist in this way ,Perhaps even as black holes...

- You are right - I have probably not been exact when trying to explain what I mean by "Pure Space".
Pure Space is an Origin Condition - and already at this point - one have to be very cautious about the definition of Origin condition - perhaps it is better to say that is is a conditin which originates during Universal Cyclus.
Universe is oscillating from one extreme condition characterized by: pure space - no motion - and into the other extreme: pure motion no space.
So when I say Pure Space - it is meant to be this extreme starting condition in a Universal Cyclus.
And then I am postulating that the binary princple is being applied - such that pure space is "divided" into two - and that is the physical unfolding - - by introducing two dimensionalities - it is possible to say whether something belongs to this or to that, respectively.
And from then on infinite or non-defined pure space is being "divided" in more and more dimensionalities - or ratios - and at all time there exist no such thing as "empty space" - or nothingness.
Pure Space will be filled up by "smaller and smaller" dimensionalities - more and more according to divisions by the binary system- and increasingly complezed arranged relatively to each other. And in this way - according to the binary mathematical principle or system - dimensionalities will arrange themselves in dynamically changing expressions - as 3D forms in space. But there is NO VOID - nothing between dimensionalities - motion is dynamic rearrangements of smallest dimensionalities - with each flash-expression exactly telling if something is belonging to this or to that 3D-configuration.
The jig saw is filled out from the very origin - first there are only two bricks - and the bricks will incerase in number - forming more and more complex arrangements - but at any time the pure space is being filled completely out, - just remembering that everything is ratio - not size.
Nature always know if a brick belongs to this or to that - and that is (perhaps) via D and L and cellular automaton principles.

Ultimately, it rests on whether you actually

This sounds OK, but it also requires understanding to complement openness to reality,I assume possessed by honest individual. Openness as such is not enough. It sounds like taking believing a step to far, and it makes ultimate reality subjective, which it is not. It is not also objective- and that inherent ambiguity is the difficulty most honest individuals can not cope with. But I totally agree there is enough of evidence to understand reality.

Hi all,
(IMO) And please falsify if possible,
Existence must be infinite as would absolute nothingness be if it could exist. However absolute nothingness is also absence of anything including existence.
Simply by the fact that we are here experiencing existence means that it must be infinite.

31st May 2008 - 08:24 PM
Hi SU,
I was in a hurry, did not write things out properly.
Nothingness has one property. It can not exist. And that is enough.
The logical impossibility for it to exist is what I call pure change, pure motion, absolute chaos, etc. There is nothing, but there is this logical impossibility.
Now since there is this logical imposibility, it creates something out of nothing, because it itself exists (this logical impossibility) .
As it is something created out of nothing, the logical impossibility disappears since now there is something.
As pure change (logical impossibility without any substance on which it could act) disappear, we have the again nothing and the logical impossibility that nothing can not exist, so pure chage exists again, and as there is something ( this logical impossibility=pure change) than it ceases to exist since there is not nothing, but something etc...
Since we experience existance, each of these oscillating duality cycles should leave a mark by creating also something that is not change, but substance. In my opinion, these are infinitesimal dimensions of space ( infinitesimal here means absolutely smallest possible, not as in mathematics). In such way space dimensions (=space itself) is created out of nothing because it can not exist, but it is created in small pieces (not 3D volumes, but dimensions of space itself are built up).
Since we experience existance, this process of space creation has direction that leads to accumulation of space ( we are also complexifications of space, albeit quite advanced) .
Since there is direction, one of the 2 principles- nothingness (=potential space) and pure change ( pure motion without substance) has to be primary.
Since we have something, not nothing, obviously it is not nothingness that is primary.
So we are left with pure change=pure motion=absolute chaos= the logical impossibility of existance of nothingness as a primary source of existance.
This logical impossibility is infinite in the sence eternal. But it has oscillating property of creating space out of nothing in pieces.
In essence, this is Yin ( pure change, pure motion, pure chaos, pure substance, content) - Yang (nothingness, potential space, pure form, pure structure) principle.

hi bukh
I have understood Your NO VOID principle- there is nothing between released space dimensions ( infinitesimal or cumulated) since there is also no space itself there.
When we talk about smallest dimensinalities of space, why do we need to carry around 3D space with us? Where do we get it from, these 3D configurations, suddenly?
Imagine space with any dimensionality being incessantly created everywhere where there are neighbouring dimensions. 3D space can exist only potentially, and appears as 2D vortexes of space gets fixed in 3rd D, locally. This condition seems to have the ability to percolate, or fill the space with kind of lattice ( as You suggest with pixels) but still there are "regions" of imaginary time without space since percolation does not require 100% participation.
I am not sure potential space is 3D, either. What I am sure of, it has a geometry which is related to pi- either infinite circle(s) ( ideal line) or sphere.

Yes - I agree - neither Yin - nor Yang has any existance by themselves - as long as we are dealing with physical universe. Yin alone has no physical existance - yang alone has no physical existance - and when working together - when they co-exist - then physical universe is being created.
When dealing with Origin - I like to think that we are dealing with the Origin of Physical Universe - not physical in the sense of human physical scale - but physical in its ultimate sense - And in this context, physical is being created out from something which is NOT physical, the merging of two non-physical existances create physical - so physical IS in a sense being created out from nothing.

Hi Ivars,
Thankyou for the reply.
I'm going to suggest a purely hypothetical thought experiment.
Lets assume that 'absolute nothing' is a property or tangible substance.
Lets assume that absolute nothingness (for the sake of argument) is contained in a magical vacuum bottle.
In reality absolute nothingness cannot exist, but this is purely hypothetical.
When we take the lid off the magic bottle, what do you suppose will happen?
Edward 3
31st May 2008 - 09:12 PM
The point that seems to be emerging here is that, because nothingness is a logical impossibility, it creates something out of itself so as to eliminate a condition that is logically unacceptable. Does this not imply that this "something" has always existed? - otherwise we must accept that there was a time for which the illogical condition was able to persist, and if we accept this we must accept the possibility of an eternal nothingness.
From this, I suggest that, because we now experience existence, we must conclude that existence is infinite - all this, of course, subject to the correctness of the statement that nothingness is a logical impossibility.

No - No - as I have been suggesting - it is the opposite way round.
We are not suddenly getting smallest dimensionalities .
We have Pure Space - 3D - but pure space is physically meaningless as long as there is no system that can tell where something belongs - where something is being positioned. Just this one pure 3D. And the first thing to happen - when we have the unfolding - when physical is being born - then for the first time pure space is being organized in two dimensionalities - and it is possible to say whether something belong to this or belong to that. Either it is the one dimensionality or it is the other,
And already at this point we have to be very accurate about "Whom" to know where to belong - this knowing about where to belong is an inborn ability of the dimensionality - the dimensionality "knows" where it belongs. This inborn or inbuild knowledge is a key to understand counsciousness, conscoiusness has to do with this odd ability of self-percepting - self knowing about its structure. Structure is not something that is beeing de-coded by an out-side observer, there exists (of course) no such thing as outside observers when we are down into the real complexions.
And another key to understand the universal system is that each dimensionality - inhabit a yin - or yang soul - or perhaps we can call it D or L - and whenever a configuration is being created - or build - by smaller dimensionalities - the resulting new - and bigger configuration will be either D or L according to the D's and L's that said configuration are made of. This is well in accordance with cellular automaton principles (I think

)
Now imagine that Origin-Infinity (Pure Space) is being divided in more and more dimensionalities - more and more ratios are being created - then at a certain point there are being created a critical amount of dimensionalities - resulting in the first phase-transistion.
And now I am not saying that the creation of dimensionalities are even all over Pure-Space, one can easily imagine that some "areas" of pure space is being ratio'ed more than other parts, so that the complexion all over universe is uneven.
I can imagine how pi must be created out from a binary division of a starting dimensionality - in the sense that by creating more and more ratios - "smaller and smaller parts - it is deemed to create a geometry where pi is the characterizing factor.
So there is no sudden appearance of anything - everything is being "constructed" little by little - but all the time according to very simple principle of binary divisions of dimensionalities
and BB can be seen as a ripening of a certain part of universe into dimensionalities one scale below our physical scale, and how these dimensionalities - as we call "smallest" - percolate into a lattice structure - expressing our physical universe (human scale universe) - and again with due respect for total relativity - everything is RATIO - and everything is SCALE - and everything can in principle repeat itsself infinitely. But a scale is finite in number - a scale is represented by discreteness - EVERYTHING PHYSICALLY IS DISCRETE AND FINITE - only the repetition of another - the next new scale - and the next --and the next - is infinite. (And dimension of pure space is infinite and number of spaceless forms is infinite.)

Ignoring the dictionary is the first step to thinking by yourself. Observe the likes of 'mott.carl' for evidence of this.
Honest individuals do not 'presume' much of anything. Your error is to presume you are honest! Real Honesty can cope with anything. Again, your statement is proof of your own illusion regarding your own state of 'understanding'.
There is no 'ambiguity' in Reality ~ only in the minds of those who fail to understand it, or that are trying to promote deliberate misunderstanding within society.
Try to understand the last post from Edward3, as this is correct. 'Nothingness' plays no part in any 'equation', nor any form of deduction concerning what is necessarily Real. It is not needed, otherwise it would not be 'nothing'.
To Edward3...Your logic is now correct. If you then realise that anything 'Infinite' of 3-dimensions must exist everywhere in all instances, it must, in fact, be the One thing that actually exists, on an 'absolute' level. Then, we come to the necessary motions of this One thing, that are needed to determine how we observe it the ways we do. It must contain some 'mechanism' by which it takes on a 'finite' appearance, and then returns to its Natural state.
Also, consider that people have intuition of this 'One thing', by default of necessarily being a part of it. Here lies the psychological understanding of what some have intuited as 'God', 'Tao', 'Brahman' and others. The only real difference is that people have come to think of such things as 'separate' from themselves, whereas the Reality must be that One thing (whatever its name) must be EVERYTHING, and thus all 'parts' are parts of the One thing. The current language for correct description is 'science', and the word for such a One~interconnected~ thing is 'Space'. 'Space' is observable by all sentient beings, as the One thing that interconnects all things.
