YOU
—
some possible mechanics of our soul
This book may explain consciousness, as well
as a few other fundamental
issues. The topics are examined with reference to physics and biology;
within a reality considered to be mathematics that is times. The discussions
are fairly well limited to plain English; though the train of thought
involves a fresh look at relativity, brain function, and system language.
It
breaks out of the philosophical mode to include a computer model
intelligence system for the old Commodore 128, that might really get
you
into your PC.

SPLIT BRAIN
reality
!!
awareness is a physical
principle of reality,
created as higher
system function
it is distributed throughout
the active brain
as the relative meaning
of process
removing any specific
part of the brain from one side or the other
does not remove your
general self-awareness;
so long as life support
is maintained
brains have been divided,
to reduce epileptic seizures ...
careful testing has
demonstrated dual independent decision making
imagine half your head
removed,
kept alive with blood
processing equipment for any length of time;
each half now independent
with an eye and an ear;
each half obtaining
a different point of view and a diverging set of experiences
— each half would
still be you
— each half would
no longer know what the other was thinking
(besides ouch!)
this is essentially
logically identical to the situation
that exists between
you and me right now
— as exists between
everyone
— as exists between
you and different yous, in different
sources of time
it's
SPLIT BRAIN
reality
!!
I am not you.
I am you.
I am you, and, I am
not you.
it's
SPLIT BRAIN
reality
!!
I am not you in the
sense that
my personality
would experience being
your personality.
Your awareness of being
your unique self
is the dimensional
branch of time
when I am you.
Everything is different
time.
some possibilities
that mesh:
awareness is a physical
principle of reality, created as higher system function
(not necessarily confined
to biological brain function)
it occurs as the active
representation of the world has relative meaning over time with
respect to other
associated meaning,
oncoming, or from mental memory,
while the potential
to modify all of the meaning arises
from the active relationships
within the active meaning
the over time
above is the creation of conscious dimensionality
— as though it were
a field, defined by its complex dynamics over time
all of the dimensions
are orders of time in repetitive memory
lower dimensions: the
repetition of particles in their contextual location (space);
regular variation
of relative location (time), regular variation of regular variation
of location (energy),
and repetition and
variation of energy patterns
higher dimensions:
world representations in repetitive memory,
the association of
these in higher order memory,
their association
in interaction with and modification of the sources of the representations
into yet higher order
memory;
different conscious
life spans, and societies
brains have been divided,
to reduce epileptic seizures ...
careful testing has
demonstrated dual independent decision making ...
imagine half your
head removed, kept alive with blood processing equipment for any length
of time;
each half now independent
with an eye and an ear;
each half obtaining
a different point of view and a diverging set of experiences
... each half would
still be you ... each half would no longer know what the other was thinking
this is essentially
logically identical to the situation that exists between you and me right
now
— as exists between
everyone
— as exists between
you and different yous, in different sources of times (place-times, system-times)
awareness isn't a rare
fluke, or even a prevalent superfluous byproduct of reality;
it is integral to
the development and maintenance of physical law
the dimensions of awareness
are highly ordered, existing relative to system developments
awareness increases
with increasing order
— generations are
launched by prior generations from points of
elevation, before
the source generations diminish
— in the long run,
entropy is perfectly balanced with extropy, creating the point
— the lower and higher
dimensions are the bang as a collection of all bangs, producing the point
the point is unavoidable
— as it is simultaneously nothing and everything
each cycle of fundamental
atomic logic is an evolutionary peak that infers meaning into our shifted
dimensions of
evolutionary process
the world is an inferred
construct of very fast inner worlds — innermost being the distributed point
each such cycle is
the creation of the ultimate brain
(the ultimate you)
it's SPLIT
BRAIN reality!!
[Infinity is not a number. It is the endless
supply of numbers...
the endless supply of reality’s relative processes.
The infinite "circle" is only possible, relative to
consciousness.
There is infinite time prior to, and following, a train of consciousness.
Only with the end of consciousness can eternity "pass," around to
each

An infinite amount
of nothing is creating reality,
all the time.
Everything is relative
timing.
Time has four polarities:
+/- matter & +/-
anti-matter.
The Universe is all
of
the time.
If you could see the
whole of time, you would see
a point.
We have a view from
“within” the point; while it is
incomplete. (Accelerating
expansion
would see our expansion
as an endless shrinking.)
The point is distributed
within everything as an
infinite clock rate,
producing relative systems,
regarded as substance
by some of those systems.
It is also regarded
as horizons of bang and drain,
while a longer level
of relativity would see atomic charge.

I am not you in the
sense that my personality

Your personality is
the definitive creation
of consciously dimensional
time.
Conscious time interacts
with other conscious times,
creating higher-order
social times,
and a sense that there
is only common time.
Every different location
is also a different time.
Your awareness of being
your unique self
is the dimensional
branch of time
when I am you.
Everything is different
time.
All time is the permanent
repetitive memory
that is the infinite
Universe.
We are all eternities
away from being each other.

IS THE UNIVERSE.)

Do these possibilities make you happy?
The intent here is to promote happiness. I hope I am generating some.
If you generally like people, you will be pleased to see that there
is a logical possibility that you experience all lives -- past, present
and future -- each from its own point of view. The mere possibility of
this could be quite motivating.
From my point of view, it seems much more likely than not, that your
happiness is my happiness, in your eternity... in your eternal branch of
time. Hasn't split-brain research already "proved" this, for all practical
purposes, if we just think about it? Your point of view
is everything you remember, especially including the immediate memory that
is your present perception. This is all your ongoing brain activity. It
is conceivable that this notion could be integrated across the spectrum,
from science to religion; wherever (whenever) there is an open-minded affection
for humanity.
Can you see all of the negative experiences as a reasonable price for
you to pay for all of the happiness? Can you see that the variety of happiness
created by the Universe is probably the vast majority of your time of awareness?
Can you see that this outlook, if it can be communicated, might motivate
us to optimize the enjoyment of life on Earth? The road to heaven could
come from an understanding that it will be here when we are ready to see
it... when we are ready to let it be... when competition becomes as constructive
as possible, governed by cooperation. Maybe for this to be heaven, you
will want to restrict your intake of negative news to information that
can be used to improve our conditions, our individuals .. ourselves. Maybe
heaven is the appreciation of reality. If we see more reasons to allow
its appreciation, we may be more successful.
Can you resolve the split brain paradox? Can you imagine being two individuals?
Can you imagine being everyone, everywhere in time? The difference between
you and me is our memories and circumstances, not the principle of awareness
... not the dimensionality of consciousness. All the different brains generate
all your different points of view, as lifetimes of self-connected relative
meaning. If we were a bunch of different houses, consciousness would be
the aspect of three dimensions that is the same aspect in all buildings.
That aspect would experience being each building, knowing only the one
it is in at a given building-space-time. The other buildings are other
space-times that the aspect knows only when it is in them. There are two
kinds of "when" here -- the when that goes on as an individual building,
and the when that excludes two buildings from occupying the same space.
The one when is separated from itself by the other as a factor of eternity.
Different beings are different times of you, separated by eternity. Different
matter is fundamentally identical, except that it is different time of
the Universe.
Feel free to use whatever you want from this book in your
own efforts to promote understanding.

Steps to Split Brain Awareness
1. Decide if you should consider this...
will you be happier knowing that it is probable that you live all lives.
2. Understand that awareness is brain function... of and by memory, in its
interaction with the flow of surrounding reality.
3. Acquaint yourself with the data regarding split brain functioning, brain
dicing, and observations of brain damage and brain portion removal.
4. Imagine various Split Brain models.
5. To explain the apparent reality, consider that physics is multiplexed.
6. Decide if you should consider this... will you be happier knowing that it
is probable that you live all lives.
Those who understand will prefer that you don’t attempt to understand if
you doubt that you would be happier.
Steps to Split Brain Awareness
1. Decide if you should consider this... will you be happier knowing that it is probable
that you live all lives.
2. Understand that awareness is brain function... of and by memory, in its
interaction with the flow of surrounding reality.
The outline for this is
extensive.
In the book You, the primary focus here is in chapters 8, 11, and 1.
3. Acquaint yourself with the data regarding split brain functioning, brain
dicing, and observations of brain damage and brain portion removal.
4. Imagine various Split Brain models.
One human with one or the other half-brain removed.
One human transplanted into two humans via split brain surgery.
Artificial consciousness generated in a computer, then copied to other
computers.
... each identically functioning computer system that receives the same data
bank will have the same
history and current moment of awareness transferred to a unique location in
space-time.
"Downloading" your awareness into one or more computer systems.
5. To explain the apparent reality, consider that physics is multiplexed.
Note that this was not worded "physical reality is multiplexed,"
... it suffices to refer to reality simply as physics
because we are not separating mentality from physical reality... the study of
reality is reality... we are not above physical law, nor are we unworthy of
it... we are the flow of physical law. Physics is the truth we are striving to
discover, as we be the flow of it, regardless of the level we participate at,
or the name we call it.
6. Decide if you should consider this...
will you be happier knowing that it is probable that you live
all lives.
Those who understand will prefer that you don’t attempt to understand if
you doubt that you would be happier.
This is tempered by a realization that the long term survival of civilization
depends on its appreciation of itself.
This, in turn, is tempered by an understanding that the long-term failure of
some planets may be a natural requirement of the overall success of general
Universal civilization to exist. In the big
picture, this is what you get... you create and maintain the active physical
laws you are composed of, in all flows of your multiplicity.
All such planetary flows of development begin with primitive stages
punctuated with conflict, as part of the work you do. A much greater portion of
the time of the Universe is devoted to
harmonious advancement where competition becomes constructive, then obsolete.
Those avenues that become dominated by conflict lead to their early
self-termination.
Aside from proving the probability of Split Brain Reality, these steps
support fatalism (of and by memory), and explain the identical-ness of particle
properties. The broader picture is of Heaven, where you go, in all possible
ways, at all possible levels of adeptness. It is your fate to make all of the
choices. You do all of the work that gets you to all of Heaven... to all of the
flows of awareness created by the Universe... created by You.
