What is TDVP?

TDVP is an acronym for "Triadic Dimensional-Distinction Vortical Paradigm, a Theory of Everything model developed by Vernon M. Neppe, PhD and Edward R Close, PhD, and presented in their first collaboration: Reality Begins with Consciousness.

TDVP is new, first published in 2011, so the ramifications of this work are not fully understood. However, TDVP  is believed to be much closer to a "theory of everything" than any physical theory such as string theory or M-brane theory, primarily because it opens science to a totally new way of understanding all we currently know, and puts consciousness into the equations of science for the very first time. This inclusion of consciousness from the beginning, before the first particle of matter ever existed, allows science to explore entirely new realms, including examining spiritual experience, and explains many things that cannot be explained by current science, such as how the Hydrogen atom is created and why it is the building block of the universe, it also explains the fine-structure constant and the Cabibbo mixing angle which have served as puzzles most physicists say are just too strange to understand, and it does even more. It unites relativity and quantum physics, and provides a much needed bridge between science and spirituality.

Reality Begins with Consciousness Chapter 1

Introductory excerpt from Chapter 1, Reality Begins with Consciousness (RBC).

SECTION A: THE FUNDAMENTAL PERSPECTIVE

Chapter 1: overview Perspective ^{22, [1]}

“Every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life are based on the labors of other men, living and dead, and that I must exert myself in order to give in the same measure as I have received and am still receiving.”

Albert Einstein

Priorities

Reality Begins with Consciousness presents a sweeping new paradigm shift that we know will be greeted by a wide range of reactions. A few will embrace it, many will be stunned by it, and those with vested interest in a materialistic worldview will react with hostility. We find it extraordinarily important because it provides what appears to be a broad solution to our world: The paradigm we present provides explanations that fit both our conventional, usual physical experiences, and yet seamlessly elucidate how those experiences that are regarded as bizarre, strange, anomalous and unexplained, such as out of body experiences, or awareness of information from afar, or even alleged life-after-death, or some of the unexplained mysteries of physics may be explained.

So let’s explore these areas developing a theoretical explanatory model. We recognize this adventure may be very complex because the nature of reality is deep and unexplained. And this book deals with reality, consciousness and origins. So our adventure, by its very nature, is also elaborate, intricate, involved and complicated. But we think it will greatly enhance your understanding of our existence . Therefore let’s begin gently with certain fundamental principles in this, our first Chapter, move on to 100 ideas in Chapter 2, and then move onto the “meat” of this exciting voyage.

But let’s begin with some important broader principles: A new theory incorporating elements that lie outside the scope of the existing scientific paradigm will always meet with resistance: And this is as it should be. All of the major advancements, which Thomas Kuhn²³ called “scientific revolutions” or “paradigm shifts”, like those brought about by Copernicus and Kepler, Newton and Leibniz, Einstein and Bohr, challenged long-held assumptions and were met with great resistance.

Yet a new theory should never be rejected out of dogged adherence to belief in pre-existing fixed assumptions. If the new assumptions are correct, or even just more correct than the old, they will eventually win over open-minded scientists and thinkers.

Every scientific theory is based on preconceived (“a priori”) assumptions: Since they are a priori, by definition, no matter how correct they appear to be, there is always the chance that they may be wrong. This certainly applies to the tacit assumption of modern science that everything can be explained in terms of matter and energy interacting in time and space as we now understand them, and that consciousness is an epiphenomenon of material complexity. This new paradigm challenges this belief. But we are not just replacing one belief system with another, we present cogent arguments based on empirical evidence from relativity and quantum mechanics, and we provide new mathematical and logical frameworks to support the new paradigm.

What we are requesting our readers to do, is keep an open mind until you have seen the whole picture. It will involve learning a number of new concepts and new terminology. If you will do this, we believe you will see the unfolding of a comprehensive new paradigm that will expand science to encompass aspects of reality heretofore excluded from the scientific search for truth.

          In this book, Reality Begins with Consciousness, we present to you some remarkable ideas supported scientifically and mathematically. We realize it may be valuable for the reader to, at least, encounter our major points of emphasis now, then to read our overall paradigmatic statement, and then to devour a broader one hundred points about our model and then begin. We only then develop our detailed theme. We’re not referencing them at this point, simply stating principles. We believe that this will assist more in comprehending our ideas than disclosing these summaries only many chapters later, because at any point you can return to these summaries.

          These initial statements in Chapters 1 and 2, at this point can be perceived as equivalent to abstracts that are non-referenced. But we have endeavored to support every component of this model with appropriate sources spread through the body of this book. There are many new ideas in this chapter (Chapter 1). They contain brushstrokes. However, with several headers below, there are also many new terms or phrases you may be unfamiliar with. The object is to prioritize your reading.

          If you have not read about this model before, may we make a suggestion?

·        First please read the section below on the Brief Summary of TDVP, but only the italicized sections first. This way you will obtain a perspective, without the detail.

·        Then please re-read this chapter a second time, this time including the regular print.

·        If needed, thereafter, please refer to the glossary above (or the supplemental book Glimpses and Glossary) for terms that you may not recognize, and please use these pictorial representations (“glimpses”) to further conceptualize our points.

We effectively are subdividing this into Chapter 1A and 1B. Chapter1A contains just the italicized sections; and then you look upon the regular font as, Chapter 1B, which amplifies those sections.

The Brief Summary of TDVP

1.     The Model:

In this book, Reality Begins with Consciousness, we propose a model that appears to be the first comprehensive paradigm that can be explained consistently in science, mathematics and ultimately, as a consequence of the scientific and mathematical analysis, philosophy. The model is applicable in all the known sciences—the broader physical, psychological, biological and consciousness sciences. Hence it is not only a paradigm for one science, it is a “metaparadigm”, with the prefix meta- referring throughout this book, to a higher or broader level, in this case a broad ranging paradigm.

2. Language:

Because TDVP is a wide-ranging metaparadigm that works empirically and mathematically, involving Dimensional Biopsychophysics, it requires:

·        a new language at times as there are new concepts;

·        clear and precise well-defined terminology, to avoid ambiguity and

·        well-defined ideas that take into account all of Dimensions, Infinity, Consciousness, Tethering and Unification (mnemonic: DICTU).

3. TDVP: What is it?

Our model is called Triadic Dimensional-Distinction Vortical Paradigm (TDVP). The consequent philosophical model is called Unified Monism.

These terms are technical but are given as a broader perspective here. We explain them in more detail throughout this book.

·        Triadic Space, Time and broader ‘Consciousness’ tethered together

·        Dimensions of extent involving mathematical distinctions

·        Vortices involving curved movements. These individual vortices interface across dimensions (we call this “vortices indivension” allowing a communication system). The finite is a 9 dimensional (9D) vortical reality, and the transfinite is a 10^th plus dimensional vortical reality.

·        Paradigm (Metaparadigm /Theory of Everything) across the sciences and mathematics with unification of the infinite and finite resulting in the philosophical model of Unified Monism

·        The implications of TDVP lead to “Unified Monism” (UM), a new philosophical model.

INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SCIENCE AND SPIRITUALITY

Dr. Ed Close and his research partner, Dr. Vernon Neppe, have just returned from Puebla, Mexico, where each delivered plenary presentations on their groundbreaking TDVP model, at the first international Science and Spirituality Conference to be held in Puebla Mexico(attendance about 3000). They also presented a Workshop with 10 hours of continuing education (about 147 attendees).

They were honored for their contributions by the Mexican / Puebla Government and received a major award, known as the Gabino Barreda Award, recognizing their contributions to science and education.

Transcendental Physics and TDVP

In my book Transcendental Physics (available at http://www.amazon.com/Transcendental-Physics-Edward-R-Close/dp/059509175X), I re-introduced a mathematical tool I developed in the 1980s called the Calculus of Distinctions. In the Triadic Dimensional Distinction Vortical Paradigm (TDVP) published in Reality Begins with Consciousness (available at http://www.BrainVoyage.com) I introduce an extension of that work called the Calculus of Dimensional Distinctions.

One of the strengths of this new mathematical tool when applied to quantum mechanics is that many multi-dimensional problems that are intractable in current mathematics become easily solvable. For example, two things current physical theory cannot explain are: 1.) the intrinsic 1/2 spin of elementary particles (fermions). This is easily explained in the Calculus of Distinctions as a feature of an elementary distinction of nine dimensions, and 2.) the Cabibo mixing angle of quarks can be calculated directly from TDVP theory. This mixing angle is necessary to explain the conservation of charge and parity, but cannot be derived or explained by the standard model of the current paradigm.

These examples of the explanation of experimentally known quantum phenomena that are explained by TDVP provide evidence that the Close-Neppe paradigm is correct.

What will be discussed at this conference by Dr. Close…


Science today has a model of creation that says consciousness is
an epiphenomenon that arises out of the complex interaction of
biological, electrical and chemical processes in organic life forms.

Dr. Ed Close and Dr. Vernon Neppe, MD, PhD will be presenting an all day seminar Feb. 21 and Congresso sessions Feb. 22 and 23
where they will explain their new paradigm that proves consciousness
preceded all forms of matter, energy, time and space, and is the
substrate, the very basis, of all form and pattern which draws
the distinctions and makes material creation possible. He will
provide conclusive evidence that consciousness preceded all of
the material universe and is not limited to individual organic life
forms found only on earth.

Heralded by scientists the world over, Dr. Close and his
Co-author, Dr. Vernon Neppe, have combined more than
70 years of study and thought to provide a comprehensive
Theory of Everything. Their theory not only encompasses
the physical sciences, but also incorporates for the first time
in history the consciousness of the observer, the experience
of psi phenomena, rare-event phenomena, deja-vu, and the
entirety of our human experience. Dr. Close has said for
years that you cannot have a Theory of Everything (TOE)
so long as you exclude consciousness and conscious
experience from the theory and focus entirely on physical
and material processes. Now he proves it.

Drs. Close and Neppe have put their combined training, intellects,
and experience together in a world-changing work.

Ed Close is a member of MENSA, Drs. Close and Neppe are
both members of ISPE, and the prestigious ECAO, the
Exceptional Creative Achievement Organization. They have
each tested and demonstrated IQs that are five to six standard
deviations (SD = 16) above the norm, meaning both men
have IQs near or above 190.

A Small Sample of What Scientists Are Saying about
Drs. Close and Neppe and their New Paradigm:


Physical Sciences
This is the book of books. Close and Neppe have succeeded
in articulating a unified theory that explains everything known
through human experience and observation, including, not
only the data obtained by the five senses, but also the
data that comes through mind and feeling. Former
scientific thought has considered the material universe
to be the total universe with consciousness to be the
result of matter. Neppe and Close have shown the
reverse. Matter is inseparably linked with consciousness.
They have succeeded in the ultra-complex task of
including everything we know through the material
laws of Classical Physics, Quantum Physics, and
Relativity, with the non-material observations gained
through psychology, parapsychology, and spiritual
vision, into a unified metaparadigm with consciousness
as the foundation of all creation, including the origin
of creation, itself. This is a book you will want to study,
absorb, and return to again and again to experience
the thrill of understanding how the billions of bits of
the universe all fit together as a unified whole, and
how we are a participatory part of everything. The
authors' many years of labor will be appreciated for
centuries to come.
David Stewart, PhD, Marble Hill, Missouri, USA.
Geophysicist, Theologian, and Author.


Multidisciplinary Sciences
Most physical TOEs (theories of everything) fail because
they don't explain where the TOE comes from in the first
place -- a creative act of consciousness. Most psychological
TOEs fail because they don't appreciate the very real
physical context in which the psyche struggles to explain
itself. Reality Begins with Consciousness (RBC) avoids these
mistakes by taking a TOE's promise of "everything" seriously.
This puts RBC in a radical multidisciplinary class by itself,
and as a result, understanding it is nontrivial. This should
not be surprising, for unadorned Reality as-it-is is vast and
hyper-complex, and any TOE that hopes to model that
Reality must be equally vast and complex. But for readers
who are up to the challenge and are able to stretch their
minds in many directions, tackling RBC is well worth it.
Dean Radin, PhD, Senior Scientist,
Institute of Noetic Sciences, Petaluma CA.
Extensively published author,
cognitive psychologist, electrical engineer,
consciousness researcher.


Consciousness Sciences
I've just completed the perusal of your impressive work.
I feel very excited to have sensed myself, the enthusiasm
of discovering so many overlapping fields in our views!
...A work that will change mankind's future.
...For the first time in mankind's history, its real nature
is scientifically disclosed at the highest charismatic
academic level!
...Reading your masterpiece, ...... be aware of my
deepest reverence for your monumental work!
...A seismic shift in understanding the understanding
process itself!
...The beginning of the ultimate disclosure about
the nature of an all-encompassing reality.
...A monumental work forcing obsolete preconceptions
to crumble.
...The 21st Century's revolutionary paradigm shift.
Dr. Adrian Klein, Israel.
Dimensional Biopsychophysicist and
Consciousness Researcher.
Expert on Theories of Everything, pioneer of the
Subquantal Integration Approach.


Psychological Sciences
Vernon M. Neppe and Edward R. Close have written what is
destined to become a classic in the literature on shifting
paradigms and worldviews. Drawing from a dozen different
disciplines, they have adroitly pointed out the limitations of
the Western world's currently accepted model of reality, have
spelled out the unfortunate consequences of this model's
hegemony, have proposed a paradigm that is not only
multidimensional but metadimensional, and have supported
it with logic, mathematics, research data, and common sense.
The implications that this book has for the betterment of
humanity makes for worthwhile, illuminating and enlightening
reading which is practical and transformative.
Stanley Krippner, PhD, San Francisco, CA, USA.
Professor of Psychology, Saybrook University.
Extensively published Author, Scientist,
Pioneer of Humanistic Psychology and Consciousness.

Neurosciences
What an astonishing and prodigious accomplishment! The
way the authors communicate their profound insights both
from our usual "bottom-up" experience as well as from the
"top-down" higher realities facilitates engaging readers in
this unique and groundbreaking scientific model: We're
able to swim longer in the vast subtle and not-so-subtle
cosmic pond--and the references provide handholds to
keep us afloat. I kept flashing on a museum installation
that would allow people to have a "walking around in"
experience of climbing through dimensional rifts (in music:
ostinati) and connect all around with vortical interactions.
I guess this comes from years of my interpreting to people
the leaps in transformation I see continually emerging in
Neurofeedback work: The Neppe-Close paradigm now
provides for a much more coherent way to understand
reality. Once introduced, the actualities of these unifying
concepts begin to live. It is quite stunning to observe
people speaking from an "already having changed"
perspective...a thrilling journey!
Alan Bachers, PhD, Northampton, MA, USA.
Neuroscientist; Director, Neurofeedback Foundation.

Life Sciences
Scientific revolutions require both empirical evidence and
related coherent explanatory frameworks. The encyclopedic
book "Reality Begins with Consciousness" leads in providing
the sought after broader scientific unification linking the
neurosciences, consciousness, biological, psychological and
the physical sciences with math-based logical philosophy
and spirituality. Drs. Neppe and Close provide a missing
broad exploratory paradigm for new scientific ideas that
can continue to be researched for many years to come.
Whether or not this multidisciplinary model is ultimately
viable, the cogent supportive data should encourage
scientists to explore seriously the underlying ideas; the
models presented go further than other volumes.
John Poynton PhD, London, UK.
Consciousness Researcher; Biologist;
Past President, SPR. Author.

Philosophy of Science
Prof. Vernon Neppe and Dr. Edward Close have prepared
a much-needed volume that aims to integrate our scientific
knowledge into a comprehensive natural-law paradigm.
Their work leaves no stone unturned in the quest to
re-configure our understanding of science, including
those more remote or fringe areas of science such as
parapsychology that only a few of our highly respected
and honored scientists are brave enough to endorse.
This new book by Neppe and Close is a paradigm shift
that hails in, if not, beckons for, a kind of scientific
overhaul and shift in thinking that Thomas Kuhn spoke
of in his major work "The Structure of Scientific Revolutions.
Lance Storm PhD, Adelaide, Australia.
Consciousness researcher, Author, Journal Editor,
Psychologist, Parapsychologist and Philosopher of Science.

Philosophy
This authoritative work in consciousness studies will
shape philosophical discourse about mentality and
mind. It is a serious and lucid exploration of a most
complex topic, suitable for philosophers and cognitive
scientists who seek explanatory models that allow
one to reach beyond methodological boundaries
while at the same time adhering to scholarly rigor.
Recognizing consciousness without boundaries and
as formative action leads to unexpected conclusions
outside any normative space, while at the same time
providing a profound value to the future of humankind.
Neppe and Close have masterfully demonstrated that
hope is inside and outside Pandora's box.
Helmut Wautischer, PhD, San Rafael, USA.
Senior Lecturer, Philosophy, Sonoma State University.

Medical Sciences and Mathematical Physics
I'm still completing this, but your book is impressive. It
seems astonishing that you could combine deep scientific
notions with mysticism. I never knew that such work was possible.
Dr. Frank Luger, International (Private) Research Professor.
(Retired) Mathematical Physicist, Physician, Poet,
Author, Psychologist, and Chess Grandmaster.


Comments by General Readers

I couldn't put it down last night: Very few books grab

Russell Rebman, Fort Worth, TX, United States.


I've been reading your book a bit at a time, absorbing it...
Quite the complex read, but fascinating.
Ron Dinelle, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.


I can say that if I can understand your information, it is
likely that anyone reading it can... I believe you have
reached your goal to "dumb it down" to the level where
those of us who are both linguistically challenged and
are not scientists can grasp and comprehend what you
are saying--I believe that the material is just that good...
a fine work.
Rob Abbott, Port Orchard, WA, United States.


Wow. I feel like I am back in graduate school while
reading through your work! What a wonderful experience.
Karen Miller, Buffalo, NY, United States.


Broad in scope, multidisciplinary in approach, this
monumental work is more than food for thought –
it's a feast. If consciousness shapes reality, then you
may well adjust your own after reading this book.
James Hardenbergh, Seattle, WA, United States.


Without proper scientific evidence or reasoning,
consciousness has, for years, been treated as a
secondary phenomenon that is somehow derived
purely from materialistic origins. There is actually
no scientific proof that this is true. I am glad,
therefore, that Vernon Neppe and Edward Close
have taken on this monumental task of addressing
this unwarranted bias in scientific thinking.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Dr. Close says:
Over the past three years, I've been working intensively
with Dr. Vernon M. Neppe, MD, PhD, internationally known
neuroscientist, developing TDVP, the Triadic Dimensional
Distinction Vortex Paradigm (TDVP), where we prove that
time is 3 dimensional, in a universe of at least 9 dimensions,
and we provide in this comprehensive paradigm the next
logical step beyond Transcendental Physics, which I introduced
in 1997. The TDVP Paradigm Shift

• Resolves the Conflicts between Relativity and Quantum Physics
• Provides a Rigorous Mathematical Basis for Incorporating the Observer as Participant
• Puts Consciousness into the Equations
• Provides Mathematical and Geometrical Evidence of Nine or more Dimensions
• Unites the Scientific Disciplines
• Provides a Comprehensive Framework for all Science





Now, you can be among the first people in the world outside
the scientific community to hear about and understand their
paradigm breaking new theory of everything that is destined to change
the world as we know it and bring about the next great
revolution in science. You can say:

I was there at the very first public presentation of this
world-shattering information, this grand new understanding
that will sweep the world and bring about the science of the
future.
