Modern Physics & Non-dual Metaphysics: The One-World-Per-Observer Paradigm

The Principle of Equivalence Really Is Fundamental by James Kowall

The principle of equivalence is the only logical starting point if we want to correlate modern science with spirituality. The equivalence principle specifically refers to a frame of reference, or a coordinate system attached to an observer. Mach's principle tells us that all observations occur in an observer's frame of reference. There is democracy in the relativity of all possible observers, but there is also the freedom of any observer to enter into any possible frame of reference. This freedom is essential to how we understand the nature of observations in quantum theory. See http://scigod.com/index.php/sgj/article/view/307

Non-commutative Geometry & the Holographic Principle by James Kowall

Non-commutative geometries represent position coordinates on a bounding surface of space in terms of non-commuting variables, thereby unifying relativity theory with quantum theory in a natural way. This procedure mathematically formalizes the smallest possible distance scale, called the Planck length, and gives a fundamental explanation for how any possible space-time geometry is quantized. The bounding surface of space is an event horizon that naturally arises as an observer enters into an accelerated frame of reference. The holographic principle is a natural consequence of non-commutative geometries since quantized bits of information are encoded on a bounding surface of space in a pixelated way. The natural pixel size is about a Planck area. This holographic formulation describes whatever appears to happen in the three dimensional space bounded by a two dimensional bounding surface of space. Holography is deeply ingrained in the geometrical nature of relativity theory and the wave-interference nature of quantum theory. No overarching theory is necessary to understand this connection between non-commutative geometries and the holographic principle. An argument is made that an overarching theory is not even possible since such a theory constrains the observer's frame of reference. The principle of equivalence gives the observer the freedom to enter into any possible frame of reference. In a freely falling frame of reference the bounding surface of space disappears. This mechanism, called horizon complementarity, fundamentally connects holography to non-dual metaphysics. See http://scigod.com/index.php/sgj/article/view/308

The One-World-Per-Observer Paradigm of Modern Cosmology by James Kowall

Recent discoveries in cosmology have resulted in a remarkable paradigm shift. This paradigm shift is based on measurements of the cosmological constant, the exponential expansion of space, and a cosmic horizon. The cosmic horizon is a bounding surface of space that surrounds the observer at the central point of view. Interpreted in the context of the holographic principle and horizon complementarity, these discoveries lead to the one-world-per-observer paradigm.

The Vicious Cycle of Self-Identification by James Kowall

The nature of self-identification is discussed in the context of a quantum state of potentiality and the role of the observer. A critical distinction is drawn between the normal flow of energy in the observer's world and the effects of biased choice. This naturally leads to a discussion of the effects the focus of attention of consciousness can have on physical reality and the life force. See http://scigod.com/index.php/sgj/article/view/310

The Container of Consciousness by James Kowall

Three concepts help us understand the nature of the world: the container of consciousness, the content of consciousness, and the observer of that content. The only way to understand the nature of the container is as an empty space of potentiality, which traditionally is called the void. See http://scigod.com/index.php/sgj/article/view/311

Who Am I? by James Kowall

In the ultimate state of reunion with the Absolute, there is no individual being, only the One undivided Being of the Absolute. Ultimately, I am not. Ultimately, only the Absolute is. See http://scigod.com/index.php/sgj/article/view/312
