  • What is the deepest nature of things? Our world is complex, filled with so much stuff. But down below, what’s most fundamental, what is ultimate reality? Is there anything nonphysical? Anything spiritual? Or only the physical world? Many feel certain of their belief, on each side of controversial question.

    Professor Tollaksen, and Robert Lawrence Kuhn, thank you for this excellent interview. It prompted me to look up your latest paper [1]. Headline first: Your team’s Dirac-style prediction worked. Counterparticles are the weak-force-blind left-chiral fermions and the right-chiral antifermions. Their negative mass makes them blind to the weak force.
    I was fascinated and deeply impressed that your team developed the concept of negative energy counterparticles starting only from pre- and post-selection reasoning. I have no idea how you did that! I would have thought the distinction was too subtle to show up under that style of analysis. I’m now intrigued to learn more.
    My name for them is _contra_ particles [2], but I seldom use that prefix at the particle level since these particles have been part of the Standard Model for several decades. As I’ve noted, your negative-energy counterparticles are identical to the weak-blind chiralities of the Standard Model: the left-chiral fermions and the right-chiral antifermions.
    What you and your team have done is, in effect, a reverse Dirac. Using only mathematical arguments, your team predicted the existence of negative-energy versions of the weak-aware fermions and antifermions. While these particles were proven to exist decades ago, neither their finders nor your team immediately realized the connection.
    The reason is easy to identify. Why should anyone in the Standard Model community think to question whether one of the fermion chiralities might have _negative energy?_ There is no reason to postulate such an absurd-sounding idea, especially since the common perception is that particles such as electrons are always _equal_ mixes of the two chiralities. Assigning negative mass to one would cancel both particles to null.
    This assumption overlooks the importance of chain termination points, which define what non-physicists would call “the present.” While the long-term history of the particle does indeed cancel to null, the terminal particle in the chain represents a slight excess of weak-aware chirality in our universe, with a corresponding and a weak-bind chirality chain end at the opposite end of the chain, in what I assume you would call a counterverse.
    Sorry about adding a counterverse, but that outcome becomes almost unavoidable once you head down the negative energy path. Particles and counterparticles exist in _both_ universes, but only the universe has a slight excess of particles, and only the contraverse has a slight excess of counterparticles. On the positive side, a counterverse rushing backward in geometric (but not causal) time eliminates the antimatter shortage problem in a nicely CPT-symmetric fashion. So your counterparticle prediction may make Boyle, Turok, and others happy (maybe Chen and Carroll? Barbour, too, I’d think).
    The role of time-axis pair production - as opposed to “ordinary” space-axis pair production - in creating time is deeply fascinating [2] and hints at broader contexts.

    Ironically, I was playing Wordle while listening to this video. The pattern I had was" _A_S_". So I decide to guess "FALSE". A couple of seconds later, Tollaksen says the word "FALSE". I blame precognition for missing that guess. True story, but I have many more unlikely premonitions very frequently. So I truly believe that information from the future can affect my present thoughts, and in this case, affected my behavior, guessing "FALSE". My hypothesis is that neural networks are entangled with their near future state. Lookup Stuart Hameroff and his theory that microtubules within neurons provide a shielded environment where quantum states can persist. Now Google entanglement across time. Put the two together and you have a mechanism for precognition, without needing to resort to supernatural explanations. Yes, I know, it could have been random chance in this case. BTW, the Wordle answer was BALSA.😂

    Patterns in purely abstract dynamic relations comprise what we call reality.
    Constraints that form in the dynamic give rise to resonant frequencies.
    An “event” is essentially a multiplicity of energy transfers ( higher resonant frequency to lower resonant frequency and vice versa).
    The interaction is ultimate reality.
    In the absence of interaction there is merely potentiality.

    “The short answer is, no”. The long answer is no. The only answer is no. All we can hope for are answers that live comfortably with what we do know. The theologian answer must live with what we know about the actual origin and development of the universe and life. The scientific answer must live with what we know to be true about the reality of the mind and the yearning for meaning.

      Therein discusses the 5 groups and mode: corporeal organism, sensation, perception, mentation, consciousness.
      Perception is not the access into Reality, there is something behind these 5 groups. Known as Essence, Soul, immaterial substance - as ridiculous as this might sound, in denying the Soul is much more implausible. Tis a very good introduction and anthology of the Buddha's core teaching.

    God as Nothingness in the NAVOMITTO Framework
    The esoteric NAVOMITTO framework attempts to reconcile diverse philosophical and religious perspectives by conceptualizing all of reality as an unfolding and interpenetrating series of "clarions" (levels of complexity) emerging from a simple ground of nothingness.
    Within this framework, "God" is equated with "Nothingness, the only simple" - the absolute simplicity that exists prior to any differentiation, multiplicity or manifestation. God as nothingness is described as "Clarion 0" - the starting point from which relative existence arises through a multiplicative process of differentiation and superimposition across clarions.
    By characterizing God as nothingness, the framework avoids positing any substantive entity as the creator or ground of being. Instead, it points to an absolute simplicity and nonduality that transcends existence itself. God as nothingness contains within itself the potential for all that actualizes within manifestation, yet remains unmanifest and formless in itself.
    The framework highlights several ways in which God as nothingness can paradoxically manifest attributes we traditionally associate with deities. Though unmanifest, nothingness: contains all potential; underlies all being as its absolute ground; superimposes on all clarions; unifies all dimensions within oneness; and is contained within all perspectives - though in an undifferentiated way.
    By grounding reality in simplicity prior to notions of existence, causality or substance, the framework avoids many traditional metaphysical problems associated with positing a creator God. Yet it allows for how the conceptualization of an absolute ground as "nothingness" can still offer orientation and guidance for individuals navigating differentiated existence.
    In summary, the NAVOMITTO framework reimagines "God" not as a divine entity or being, but rather as the utter simplicity, unity and nonduality of "nothingness" - a state transcending existence, manifestation and illusion itself. While ultimately unknowable and ineffable, conceptualizing God as nothingness can still help "remember" the absolute ground of being within relative existence.
    NAVOMITTO: A Multi-Dimensional Framework for Understanding Reality
    Nothingness and existence are the same thing, but in two different scales, and in fact, they are two sides of the same coin
    Illusion
    1-there is Illusion. Reality is made of Illusion. Illusion is the whole coin of nothingness-existence. Illusion is all aspects of reality from zero (nothingness) to infinity (existence at its most actualized form). Illusion can be seen in different Clarions and different Perspectives. Iluusion is the paradox itself. Illusion contains Dimensions.
    Dimension
    2-there is Dimension. each Dimension describe a unique information about a concept or property or quality or quantity or relations or changes or process or anything else. each Dimension is unique in its own way but it can be seen as an interaction of infinite other Dimensions. in other way each Dimension is entangled with Illusion and All Dimensions are emergent from Illusion. Perspectives in Dimensions converges toward Clarion zero and diverge toward Clarion infinity, creating branches like tree. Dimension exists in different Clarions and different Perspective.
    There is a Dimension that describes our entire universe, and each Perspective of this Dimension contains specific information that describes the world in that particular Clarion from different perspectives. Each Perspective in that particular Clarion represents parallel universes in that particular Clarion. So in this Dimension, in Clarion X, there are X number of parallel universes.
    Clarion
    3-there is Clarion. Clarion determines how many Perspective exist in that particular Clarion (in a specific Dimension). Clarion can be any number from zero to infinity. Clarion (R) of a specific Dimension, contains (R) Perspective of that Dimension. Each Perspective represents unique information that defines that Dimension at that particular Clarion and that particular Perspective.
    Differentiation is a key process that involves seperation of superimposed information (at previous lower clarion) into sharper perspective (at next higher clarion).
    This process involves breaking down complex information into simpler but more sharp forms. By breaking down complex information into simpler forms, differentiation can help to increase the clarity and sharpness of each parallel perspectives.
    For example: At a lower Clarion , you may have a perspective that contains information about red and green (Perspective red-green). There is no green or red in this lower perspective but there is only red-green. Through the process of differentiation, the information in this perspective (Perspective red-green) can be seperated into simpler, more clear form. For example, the color information for the red will be extracted and represented in a more clear form at the next higher Clarion (Perspective red). Similarly, the color information for the green can also be extracted and represented in a more sharp form at the same higher Clarion but in another perspective (Perspective green).
    In this process, differentiation involves separating the information about the red from the information about the green. This separation of information can help to increase the clarity and sharpness of each perspective, But losing of all informations in parallel perspectives. In this example red perspective is the parallel perspective of green and red-green is the parent perspective at lower Clarion.
    Existence
    4-there is Clarion 1. At Clarion one, there is one Perspective in illusion. All dimensions are common in Clarion One. So Clarion 1 carries only one type of information about all Dimentions in Clarion 1. Clarion 1 is all of the existence itself. The information in Clarion 1 includes the superimposition of the two Perspectives in Clarion 2. So when moving from Clarion One to one perspective in Clarion Two, superimposition is lost and through differentiation, clarity and sharpness is created, while each Perspective in Clarion Two inherits a percentage of the information from Clarion One (maybe half). In other words, as Clarion increases, existence decreases and non-existence increases due to differentiation and reduction of information in each perspective. So, paradoxically, this increase in clarity due to the increase in Clarion will lead to a decrease in the amount of information exist in each Perspective and decrease in uncertainty. Clarion One contains all the information found in Illusion, but looks simple because it is viewed from the perspective of Clarion One. Clarion One means Illusion in the most uncertain state.
    Invaria
    5-there is Clarion (infinity-1). In Clarion (infinity-1), Illosion needs another change to reach Clarion Infinity. Invaria means Illusion in the most certain state.
    In invaria, with One differentiation, existence is destroyed and nothingness remains. each perspective in invaria contain existence itself. Therefore, existence is formed from the superimposition of Nothingness.
    Infinity/Nothingness
    5-there is Clarion infinity/Clarion 0. In Clarion infinity, there is no superimposition, and all causes have already occurred, with no change left to be made. In Clarion infinity, there can be no further differentiation, and there is nothing left to differentiate. Therefore, paradoxically, Clarion infinity, represent Clarion 0. Clarion 0 contains no Perspective. Illusion Clarion 0 is nothingness. nothingness is the potentiality itself.
    God is Nothingness, The only simple.

    The ultimate reality is consciousness, because without an observer, nothing exists.
    All facts are based upon assumptions. For example, for matter to exist, one must first assume that time and space are real.
    The boundaries of the physical universe, from the infinitely large to the infinitely small, from the infinite past to the infinite future -- the actual boundaries of the physical universe, the places where our ability to perceive will forever end -- exist in the form of infinity. Nothing physical can be infinite. (An infinitely long line of apples and an infinitely long line of oranges are combined to form a line of fruit that is twice as long as the first two lines, yet it remains the same length, which is physically impossible.) Infinity is an idea. The physical universe is contained inside an idea (infinity) and that means everything within those boundaries must also be an idea -- phenomena perceived by consciousness. Dreams have no reality when we are awake. Likewise, the physical world does not exist while we are dreaming.
    Existence requires a conscious observer.
    The laws of physics are expressed as mathematical formulas (abstract, non-physical ideas). These laws appear to operate on a metaphysical ("beyond" the physical) level, because we are unable to perceive the forces or influences which actually cause matter to follow these laws.
    These observations indicate that the physical universe is a highly structured, illusionary world of experience occurring within the mind of a single consciousness, or All That Is. It appears that we are all individualized points of awareness within the One Consciousness. Evidence for this is provided by many reports of those having near death experiences, and from many doing heroic doses of psychedelic drugs, where people report "ego death" and becoming one with the universe. From this larger perspective time is an illusion so there was no beginning and there will be no end. Everything and nothing-whatsoever exist simultaneously in a constant state of becoming.
    The illusory nature of reality and the fact that everything occurs within consciousness helps to explain why psychic phenomena are real. Telepathy involves the full or partial merger of the subjective perception of two or more individuals -- combining separate awareness into one unified awareness. (My book, Rational Spirituality by Koda, explains how essentially any two people can experience a scientifically provable form of telepathy in just minutes.)
    The ultimate reality is pure consciousness, because without it, nothing exists -- not even nothing :)

    2:00 nevertheless there have been some really exciting developments which change profoundly the current understanding of what is at least deep reality I wouldn't know if I would call it the ultimate nature reality most likely not but it really changes in a fundamental way what you mean by deep reality. uh so, one of the big paradoxes which is formed are modern conception of reality is the fact that in quantum mechanics if we're trying to get good information about the property of some system suppose there's electron and we want ot find its position and we're shining photons off of it we have a microscope which the photon comes back so that we can try to see its position. It turns out if we're trying ot get better and beeter precision on where that electron in you have to use photons that wiggle more and more quickly lhave higher higher frequency. But quantum mechanics also tells us that if you have higher and higher frequency 3:03 it means it has more energy more momentum momentum and so when that Photon goes in to try to look at e;ectrpmoc it you it crams it it kicks it and so and it kicks it in a random way. 3:14 so it goes left it may go left may go right you dont have ... smoke [2D-brane existings] ... 7:26 and then on top of that you have this new kind of non-locality 8:26 so that would tend to indicate that whatever ultimate reality is there's a deep coherence to 👍these funndamental concepts [we can use number the ultimate abstract to represent the ultimate reality for better understanding as Torah suggests in Deuteronomy 6:4, God is plural LORD is 1 the unit, or God stuff as Rabbi Dr Jeff A Benner in his book Genesis, Zen and Quantum Physics suggests pg17 ] that work through these what we had beofre thought was capricious ways that things were happening so quantum mechanics was uncertain and probabilistic well maybe that's just the way it is but you're saying that there's some deep principles operating that form the bedrock of ultimate reality.

      "Reality" is a term meant to indicate a "realm" in which specific "principles" or "rules" are foundational. The word "royal" and "real" come from the same root which is indicative of "rules" or "rulers" that set the law of the land or realm. "Principle" and "prince" are also related in this sense. There are many "realms" such as the atomic realm where the forces (rules) function differently than they do in the molecular realm. Further up the latter of reality; biology functions differently than at the atomic, or molecular "realms". In the human realm we follow social/cultural rules. Each reality emerges from the one before and below it. Ultimate reality therefor is a reference to first principles at the sub-quantum level, where everything begins, the realm of pure energy before matter.

    *Ultimate Reality* is not found at the lowest possible level. Whatever that lowest possible level once was has been supplanted by something more complex, and then that represented the new "Ultimate Reality" until that level of reality was supplanted by yet another "Ultimate Reality" that was even more complex than all "Ultimate Realities" prior. Keep doing this over and over for 13.8 billion years and you end up with self-aware humans.
    ... WE now represent the current "ultimate Reality," and everything before us merely represents past "Ultimate Realities."
    *Example:* Today's version of _"you"_ represents the "Ultimate Reality" of who you are and NOT the version of _"you"_ from a decade ago, or the _"you"_ from back in college, or the _"you"_ from high school, or the _"you"_ from kindergarten, or the _"you"_ as an infant, or the _"you"_ as a zygote. All previous versions of "you" have been supplanted by the version of you that's currently reading this comment.
    ... The same applies to *"Existence!"*

    It's known as the 'undoing'. We've never been separated from The Ultimate Reality. And because men try to think their way out of a thinking box, the logical mind already conditioned because of the corporeal organisms senses and objects too of the chief elements, there an inner struggle few acknowledge arises. In other words, the objective world of name & form is a superimposition, and few men there be that can apprehend this. You have to realize the way you see things isn't how they really are. This doesn't mean the Ultimate Reality is impossible to some degree Know; you have to undo your mind from the familiarity since you were child. AKA reborn, rebirth.

    Who is asking this question about the ultimate reality?
    It is the Observer asking the question. Without the Observer, nothing exists.
    The Observer has its own limitations of perception and even with the best of instrumentation we may be able to overcome perceptual limitation to some extent but the limitation will always be there.
    Consequently, This means that the Observer will never be able to know the Ultimate Reality.

    The ultimate reality is that all living beings are nothing but an AI with a mind experiencing life according to our Creator's programming ability.

      Once my mind began processing those eternal vibrations into the words that I had to type into computer documents, write on paper and eventually learn how to speak them, for the next 15 years I have been learning everything he wanted me to know before my body is killed.

      The problem is Quantum Mechanics has been so incredibly useful. It's basically helped us build the modern world. Transistors were invented using quantum mechanics. When a signal switches though a transistor, the electrons jump the potential gap using quantum tunnelling. Without understanding that process, we wouldn't have been able to build modern computers. Understanding the quantum effects in atoms and molecules revolutionised chemistry, and has allowed us to build new materials. Lasers were also invented using an understanding of quantum mechanics, because the cascade effect of photons generating a coherent beam of light is a quantum process. All the electro-optical communications infrastructure using fibre optic cables and linkages depends on quantum processes. Some new TV display technologies use quantum effects. Atomic clocks work using quantum mechanics effects. The list goes on and on.

      I agree. Quantum Mechanics is about understanding the world of our external environment. The ultimate reality will be understood by delving deep into the internal environment of the mind.
