Jack,
Assuming you are still alive and mythematicizing, out there, beyond
cyber space, and have not been replaced by a SAR-bot AI entity of one
sort or another ! ;-> At least we hope so. (Though when a computer has
learned and become an expert system, even if stopping somewhat short of
true AI, how many can really tell the difference ? Are we too paranoid
in worrying about questions of individuality ? I sometimes wonder.)
You might remember our brief discourse concerning my hypothesis
concerning the "burden of quantum histories". The idea, too simply
put, that as a time traveller, or "back reaction" signal, traverses
backwards along the time line from where we momentarily seem to be (ie.
as senders), it has less and less effect upon its surroundings as it
travels further and further backwards in time. The further back one goes
the more entangled everything becomes, and the less effect.
There is another side to that, and if I am right about it, then this is
more, or even most, important.
As the ability to send "back reaction" signals increases, in terms of
the natural evolution of the universe, inclusive of any human or alien
technologies, there are several significant predictions.
The future becomes an inversion of the burden factor. As the zero,
present moment, of the timeline, moves forward, described as a movement
along that bent arrow of time, towards the omega point, something else
happens as the number of "back reaction" signals increases. The number
of anomalies would then increase, and in some statistical congruence
along with the increased number of many worlds branching chains of
quantum events. The number of many worlds reflection spaces, on the more
macrocosmic level, would increase, along the time line into the future.
If "time travel" and technical ability to send "back reaction" signals
is the breakthrough then as one approaches the breakthrough the effects
of the breakthrough increase prior to the breakthrough, as observable
anomalies of space time at the microcosmic and macrocosmic levels.
Breakthrough being understood as occurring when the time travel or "back
reaction" principle is formulated and applied with reasonable practical,
predictable, results. (Science serves within Nature, changing the
balance of Nature, as Nature was self planned to change.)
There is therefore an even larger, more complex, burden of quantum
histories on past events, but also a more radical increase of freedom
moving towards the omega point of absolute freedom where back reactions
and what are considered more normative forward movements along the time
line are both maximized as to their mutual effects. Therefore, also, the
statistical number of anomalies at omega is maximized, having increased
from breakthrough to omega along time's apparently jagged arrow.
Approaching omega we can no longer speak intelligibly of one arrow of
time, no matter how bent that arrow is perceived. The original, quantum
histories burdened arrow, at first perceived as seemingly a straight
temporal line from alpha to omega, not only appears bent, then jagged,
but eventually an arrow branching along a multiplicity of paths. At
omega it is indiscernable that there is an one arrow, rather than many
arrows. There appear to be many arrows of time. Not simply one.
Ultimately no one arrow is absolute. Anomalies, having increased in
statistical frequency, become a part of the normative, rather than being
as exceptional as they now appear.
Consider then that Omega is not the final cataclysmic end point in the
usual sense of traditional anthropocentric apocalyptic thinking. The
Omega point appears to be a liberation from the time line, into a many
worlds, that is anything other than cataclysic. Instead it is a
liberation into a more and more radical creativity.
Best regards,
Bob Ezergailis
