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
and every train of consciousness.
An infinite number of these circles is "split brain reality."]

INFINITY IS REAL;
REALITY IS DUE TO INTERNAL INFINITY

IT IS THE SOURCE OF LOGICAL RELIABILITY
THAT IS THE ACTIVE SUBSTANCE OF REALITY

IT PRODUCES ALL TIME OF DISTANCE AS
ALL SYSTEMS

IT IS THE ABUNDANCE THAT IS FREEDOM
THROUGH COMPLETENESS

INFINITY CONNECTS MEMORY
IN ACTIVE SETS OF SELF-MEANING
DEFINING ALL TIMES OF AWARENESS

SPLIT IN TWO, EACH INDEPENDENT HALF
OF YOU WOULD STILL BE TIME OF YOU

DIFFERENT MASS IS ISSUING DIFFERENT
TIME OF YOU

INFINITE TIME IS YOUR PARTAKING OF
ALL SUCH CONTEXTUAL PERSPECTIVES

INFINITY IS PRODUCING YOUR LIFE

INFINITY GIVES YOU ALL LIFE

BE NICE AND HAVE FUN

THIS IS HEAVEN
.

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.

all of your yous are different

everyone is a different you

each you
is a different framework
of the same
dimensional orders of time

we are your different times,
composing and developing
the dimensions
of real process

I am not 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 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.

THE ONLY THINGS YOU REALLY TRULY KNOW
WITH 100% CERTAINTY ARE
WHAT YOU THINK
AND HOW IT FEELS

EVERYTHING ELSE IS
VARIOUSLY EDUCATED LEVELS OF GUESSWORK

( WHILE YOU OBSERVE THE MOST OBVIOUS FACTS, YOU COULD BE A
BRAIN FLOATING IN A JAR WITH TEN MILLION DATA WIRES POKED INTO IT.

IT SEEMS MUCH MORE LIKELY THAT YOU ARE
A PERSON OF THE DATA STREAM THAT IS THE UNIVERSE.)

THE PURPOSE OF REALITY IS
THE ENJOYMENT OF IT
BY IT

EVERYTHING ELSE IS
PART OF THE MEANS
TO THAT MEANS

YOUR FEELINGS ARE
YOUR MOST VALUABLE
POSSESSIONS

ENJOY THEM

A book of considerations
about brain function, artificial intelligence, and much more.
Free association of some newer and older scientific concepts
led to the suggestion of some profound possibilities.

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.
