My commenmts here will not be in any spefic order related to your comments, but hopefully I'll be able to touch on all or most of your comments/questions. Measurements can be nominal or ordinal. The way we've defined dimensionality, extent has to be measurable nominally, measurement of content, on the other hand can be nomiminal or ordinal. With content, like light, low, medium, high, etc. intensity measurement is ordinal. So, by definition, light intensity is not dimensional. There are several levels and kinds of consciousness. Distinctions drawn in/by Primary C are different than distinctions drawn by/in individualized connsciousness. The awareness of a conscious individual consists of a series of distinctions, experienced from that individual's relatively limited framework that forms a line through time. Two non-coincident timelines form a plane. awareness of that time 'plane' requires awareness of the third dimension of time. I must go now, but maybe this is a start. Edward R.

It may be impossible to really understand it without following the math. Your theory seems based on mathematics, and you then extrapolate to experience. This seems to be the way physics has progressed over the last 100 years or so. <br /><br />Your math tells you that there are these dimensions, and so you have to give them meaning. To quote you, "I see the three dimensions of consciousness as analogous to the three dimensions of space, providing a framework for thoughts and images in what we call mind. The three dimensions of space and the three dimensions of consciousness are most likely causally linked to the three dimensions of time. Just like the concept of empty space is meaningless without mass and energy, the concept of time without events is also meaningless. Thus I see reality as a unified structure of space, time and consciousness that would be completely meaningless if any one of the three were absent." The last sentence seems reasonable, but you seem unable to explain in detail how the theory relates to experience.<br /><br />The view of time as a subjective human construct is not just my opinion. You implied it in your Transcendental Physics book where you proposed a continuous process of creation by the perceptual process. I believe that you took the position that all that could possibly exist is represented in primary consciousness. So when we have an experience, it is the movement of our awareness through a sequence of existing states. So where is the rational time dimension in that scenario? <br /><br />But now you go so far as to say that there are three dimensions of time, and that is even harder to relate to our experience. The same can be said for your three dimensions of consciousness. Because your math calls for only three dimensions, you cannot say that qualia are dimensions of consciousness. You must define them as contents of consciousness not related to extent. Let's take the concept of a constant sound or light. These certainly have dimensions of intensity which can vary from low to high, i.e., they have extent as well as content. <br /><br />Maybe you could explain how your three dimensions of time and of consciousness relate to our experience. What could one measure to validate these theoretical constructs?<br /><br /> Williamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16743767745699673032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2896819740098465917.post-56297810296432264552016-11-21T21:52:28.729-08:002016-11-21T21:52:28.729-08:00Oh, Ed, thank goodness for my only having been ble...Oh, Ed, thank goodness for my only having been blessed with the layman's basic simplicity of Y= X Squared plus One - Roll on Homo Sapiens Cosmos, hopefully by my next life!

First, thank you for reading my posts...Hi William, <br />First, thank you for reading my posts. Your comments are a litle puzzling to me however, if you have read my last post carefully; but it is possible, of course, that I didn't make it clear. There are 3 kinds of distinctions and 3 kinds of extent in the CoDD, spatial extent is just one of the 3 kinds of extent. And I must say that I don't share your opinion that we justify treating time as a dimension only because we have created units for it and draw graphs using those units. The real units for time are the Ai units, where A is an integer and i is the square root of minus one, unfortunately called "imaginary" numbers because they cannot be located in "real" space (spatial extent). The name stuck, even though it is abundantly clear now that they are very real. When imaginary numbers crop up in the mathematics describing real phenomena initially defined over the feld of real numbers in one, two or three dimensions, another orthogonal dimension is indicated. The new dimension, however is not one of spatial extent. In TDVP, and in this post, perhaps too briefly, I have defined 'dimension' very carefully, in order to avoid the kind of broad usage of the word that is often seen in less technically logical writings. As I tried to explain in defining the three kinds of distinctions, distinctions of content have no direct relation to extent. See my cannonball/balloon analogy in the post. The description of spheres of awareness in TDVP are built on the rules of parsimony and economy. There are only 3 kinds of quantifiable extent. Qualia, e.g., have no direct relationship to extent; they are contents of consciousness. Calling anything that can be observed or measured in any way was part of the basis of David Hilbert's program for a complete axomaticization of mathematics. Gӧdel's incompleteness theorems burst Hilbert's dream of encompassing all mathematics in an axiomatic system defining all variables as dimensions of Hilbert space. Dimensions defined mathematically are measurable in variables of extent only.Edward R.

You then go on to say that consciousness and time consist of 3 dimensions each. Yet these are not obvious dimensions of spatial extent. <br /><br />Let's consider our familiar time that scientists often call a dimension. They can justify this only because they have created units for it and draw graphs using those units, and so it is converted to a spatial extent. But unlike space, we cannot see time. We can experience it as a subjective duration, but even that varies with the nature of events during that duration. If anything, duration is a dimension of consciousness. I suggest that time is no more a dimension than is colour, yet you would likely say that colour does not have extent and so cannot be called a dimension. Time as a construct of our own making should not underpin a theory of existence.<br /><br />You also allow that consciousness has dimensions. Would one of these be the dimension of colour? Then why stop there? Surely consciousness would have many more dimension than three. To begin with, all qualia would be dimensions of consciousness, as well as the emotions, and any other subjective feeling that has a range of expression. You might consider the possibility that there are potentially infinite dimensions of consciousness, not all expressed in the same being.<br /><br />My point is that limiting the use of dimensions to concepts that have spatial extent seems arbitrary. Even you ignore that limitation when it suits you by allowing time and consciousness to be dimensions. Is this a case of a nice mathematical construct or theory driving a description of reality?<br /><br />WilliamWilliamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16743767745699673032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2896819740098465917.post-41651550167793434562016-11-19T11:26:16.271-08:002016-11-19T11:26:16.271-08:00Good on you, Ed, and the reason, since my mystical...Good on you, Ed, and the reason, since my mystical-initiation of 1980, I call myself a 'Cosmic' - The Whole is part of me and I am part of It, life after life, ad infinitum! cosmosclubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08061996211348539057noreply@blogger.com
