There's a great exploration of Structure of Number
going on since October 2018 in this topic thread
I'm posting some Rupert Sheldrake material here now, because
of his insights into memory and morphogenic resonance are key.
The video from 10 mins to 30 mins has a great overview of how
our conception of the universe and consciousness has altered
very significantly over time in different periods of science:

Sheldrake probably provokes such strong reactions in part because he is a product of the scientific establishment—more specifically, of Cambridge University. He earned his doctorate in biochemistry there in 1967 and became a fellow and director of studies in biochemistry and cell biology. He gradually became dissatisfied with current theories of biology.
He presented an alternative framework—involving his theory of morphic resonance (explained below)--in his 1981 book A New Science of Life, which Maddox, in a now-famous Nature editorial, called "the best candidate for burning there has been for many years."..........
The reason I'm telling you about Sheldrake is that less than two months ago, we were both speakers at a festival in Hay-on-Wye, England, and were put up in the same boarding house.
Sheldrake is terrific company. He is smart, articulate and funny. He does a hilarious imitation of the late psychedelic scholar Terence McKenna, his friend and co-author, whom I met in 1999 and profiled here. There is an appealing reasonableness and gentleness in Sheldrake's manner, even when he is complaining about the unfairness of his many critics.
He possesses, moreover, a deep knowledge of science, including its history and philosophy (which he studied at Harvard in the 1960s). This knowledge—along with his ability to cite detailed experimental evidence for his claims--make Sheldrake a formidable defender of his outlook.
To get started, please review the video below. What if the very fabric of
space and time isn't made of one-dimensional strings or energy as we
think of it, but instead was a code or language made from a geometric
projection? This video presents, in layperson terms, the basic tenets of
emergence theory, quantum mechanics and digital physics.
THE CRITIQUE - ENCOMPASSING SPIRIT
How perception and consciousness can change what we experience.
How information and intelligence are just two dimensions of consciousness
on a spectrum of awareness that goes beyond time and space.
I think we can simplify to 4, 3 and even 2, anything more than that is random. _________________ ~"“True observation begins when devoid of set patterns, and freedom of expression occurs when one is beyond systems.”"~

Well that Ether argument has a lot that could be simplified.
Much is simply bull.
And it all goes wrong here:
Truly, attaining a timeless consciousness is the foundation
of many religious practices, gaining immortality after death,
or life from one human incarnation to another.
It is this spaceless perspective that allows us the consciousness
to see life from the dimension of time. This can develop later into
the eternal perspective we wish to attain as the culmination of
our incarnations.
This is, essentially, resurrection or life reborn,
a liberation from this muddy vesture of decay.
This line of argument believes our eventual incarnation is non-corporeal.

And it's a work in progress, ok.
I will watch that quantum movie above and see if it's any better.
I rather suspect it's going to be more Puritanism....

What do quantum farmers till?
Quantum fields, of course.
David Tong of Cambridge explains how the fundamental building blocks
of matter are not particles, but continuous fluid-like substances known
as 'quantum fields'.
He gives us a great and simple overview of a lot of complex shit.
Nitpick: If the Greatest Equation in the World Ever is so frikkin' perfect,
then how come it doesn't include dark energy or dark matter which he
mentions at the end of the lecture. Dark holes in the equation really.
Nitpick:
There ARE no frikkin' particles.
Jus' waves, baby. Jus' waves. _________________ Minds are like parachutes.

Seeing the recent hype about the black hole "photograph" I was gonna
make a whole new thread, but there's a lot of foundation work to be done.
The language of science / physics is FUBAR
briefly black holes @1:08

But there are no waves either right ?
Can we describe gravity and light with waves ?
Edited: Waves are patterns, what are these patterns 'made out of' is the crux _________________ ~"“True observation begins when devoid of set patterns, and freedom of expression occurs when one is beyond systems.”"~
You've got a damn good point there dude.
best I think we can do is leave the footprints _________________ ~"“True observation begins when devoid of set patterns, and freedom of expression occurs when one is beyond systems.”"~

Yeah - I was just using wave shorthand for the particle-ularly challenged
Gravity, Light and Pattern. You're taking us back to the roots.
The subject-object pair being: pattern recognition and pattern.
And pattern recognition is complex systems of pattern. :-)
All is pattern and 'solid' matter is ephemeral wispy knots.
So been mulling on what you brought up while working on
a super-simple presentation of a lot of complicated shit.
By way of introduction recall the 'time as a dimension' issue:
three dimensions can define matter and space, so just invent an
extra 'dimension' to define time.
It's Space-Time. Hold that thought.
So I was thinking maybe we could just drop classic 'matter'.
What we have been calling:
"Matter" in Space, which changes through Time...
is better described as:
"Time" in Space.Period.
Just... spinning, time-knots of varying duration.
Now I'm sitting back looking at this idea and wondering...
Seems like a vital heresy
- or restating the obvious....
Whaddya'll reckon? _________________ Minds are like parachutes.

In 2014, physicists found evidence of a deep connection between quantum error correction and the nature of space, time and gravity. Generally, gravity is defined as the fabric of space and time but beyond Einstein’s theory, there must be a quantum origin from which the space-time somehow emerges.
The three physicists at the origin of this discovery, Ahmed Almheiri, Xi Dong and Daniel Harlow, suggested that a holographic “emergence” of space-time works just like a quantum error-correcting code. In their paper “Bulk Locality and Quantum Error Correction in AdS/CFT” published in its first version in November 2014, they showed that space-time emerges from this quantum error correction code in an anti-de Sitter (AdS) universes.
The discovery is opening a new way to capture more properties of space-time.
Their main idea was to consider a virtual universe called “anti-de Sitter space” (AdS) working like a hologram. In this representation, space-time in the interior of the universe is a projection that emerges from entangled quantum particles present on its outer boundary. AdS space is well known to physicists thanks to Juan Maldacena who proposed the anti-de Sitter/conformal field theory correspondence (AdS/CFT) that space-time is “holographically dual” to a quantum theory of particles living on the lower-dimensional, gravity-free boundary.
However, AdS universe is not intuitive. In our life, we experience a de Sitter space-time geometry and it’s different from an AdS space. One main difference is that our universe is infused with positive vacuum energy that causes it to expand without bound, while anti-de Sitter space has negative vacuum energy. Also, AdS space shares many key properties with a de Sitter world and it’s simpler to study. Both space-time geometries abide by Einstein’s theory; they simply curve in different directions. And more importantly, both kinds of universes contain black holes.
The most fundamental property of gravity is that there are black holes. That’s what makes gravity different from all the other forces. That’s why quantum gravity is hard.
- Daniel Harlow, assistant professor of physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Quantum error correction explains how space-time achieves its “intrinsic robustness,” despite being woven out of fragile quantum stuff. It protects information by store it not in individual qubits, but in patterns of entanglement among many. The best error-correcting codes can typically recover all of the encoded information from slightly more than half of your physical qubits, even if the rest are corrupted. With space-time, the same correction seems to exist so, any point in the interior of AdS space could be constructed from slightly more than half of the boundary — just as in an optimal quantum error-correcting code. Everything inside a region of the interior space-time called the “entanglement wedge” can be reconstructed from qubits on an adjacent region of the boundary.
We’re not walking on eggshells to make sure we don’t make the geometry fall apart. I think this connection with quantum error correction is the deepest explanation we have for why that’s the case.
- John Preskill, a theoretical physicist at the California Institute of Technology
And in 2018, Almheiri expanded the theory to the black holes in a new article “Holographic Quantum Error Correction and the Projected Black Hole Interior”. The theory enables to probe the mysteries of black holes. It appears quantum error correction is “essential for maintaining the smoothness of space-time at the horizon” of a two-mouthed black hole, called a wormhole.
Quantum error correction, as well as preventing firewalls, also explains how qubits escape a black hole after falling in, through strands of entanglement between the inside and outside that are themselves like miniature wormholes. This could resolve Hawking’s paradox.
Everything traces back to black holes. These paradox-ridden places are where gravity reaches its zenith and Einstein’s general relativity theory fails. [..] There are some indications that if you understand which code space-time implements, it might help us in understanding the black hole interior.
- Ahmed Almheiri, a theoretical physicist the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey
The language of quantum error correction is providing a new way of describing black holes. The presence of a black hole is defined by “the breakdown of correctability,”.
When there are so many errors that you can no longer keep track of what’s going on in the bulk [space-time] anymore, you get a black hole. It’s like a sink for your ignorance. It’s really entanglement which is holding the space together. If you want to weave space-time together out of little pieces, you have to entangle them in the right way. And the right way is to build a quantum error-correcting code.
RSF—in perspective
These new developments are going in the same direction as Nassim Haramein researches suggesting that space-time is much more than just an empty vacuum.

More likely spirituality. The desire to invest (energy) in a higher place. To give a meaning to our toil. To provide a calling for our attention. The rejection of some for the exaltation of others. A simple mis-interpretation of the direction that our evolution represents. When we realize the value and strength of this material plane, we comprehend and include all aspects of existence in the kaleidascope of our experience. Resonance requires circulation and the efficiency of that process depends on the polarity at the same frequency. As soon as "levels" are imposed, there is no gain possible as the potentials are drained of their potency by the difference between the poles undergoing the exchange. Every plane (ethereal, morontial, astral and material provide the substance while we provide the energy. _________________ The grand design, reflected in the face of Chaos.
