gestalt? it can explain the mystifying power how the parts co-operate to instantiate the whole?

gestalt? it can explain the mystifying power how the parts co-operate to instantiate the whole?

A part of our mind, of our consciousness, is able to detect that?

And why is not the gestalt a permanent feature of our minds? How so many times we are unable to detect the whole out of the parts? Noise? What meditation in far east practices aim to eliminate and achieve what ..nirvana? And even in christian religion the examples of monks and monasteries and of ασκητες aim at a similar result? isolate themselves in remote places, cut any ties with other individuals, and all the objects that relationships are instantiated by, relinquish money and possessions that represent noise which distracts the mind and make it impossible to attain the substance of the processes responsible for making a whole out of its parts.

The animistic view, the precursor of all religions, their aim to become one with whole, with nature itself a stamp that explains out the existence in the human individual of its ties with nature? Cosmos proper?

Since our mind is a system, via self-similarity, that applies to all systems?

Systems have within them this uncanny attribute, to recognize, somehow sense how the parts will produce the whole? Wholeness imprinted within? Holistic drive? Holistic force?

Thermodynamic considerations? The law of thermodynamics? Irreversible processes? Going against the grain? battle? Incompatible processes?

Money the 'noise' that hinders individual(s) efforts for personal and social development? Societies to fulfill their goals? ...their integration into harmonious wholes?

# Psychology. The organization of the psychological or social traits and tendencies of a personality into a harmonious whole.

Consciousness the generator of the thoughts. Consciousnesses combined into the whole, separated into the single consciousnesses each one of us is endowed with. The parts that make up the whole.



Rather than considering thought as just an individual act, Culture in Mind considers it in a social and cultural context.
Provocatively, this suggests that our thoughts do not function in a vacuum: our minds are not alone.

reflections on ..things that we know without knowing


What does philosophy teach us that empirical science does not? The things we know without knowing it, says Žižek, the silent presuppositions that constantly shape and inform our perception. It's important to be able to observe our surroundings and act on them, but we also need to understand what we're seeing and why we're seeing it. "The danger today is precisely a kind of a bland, pragmatic activism. You know, like when people tell you, oh my God, children in Africa are starving and you have time for your stupid philosophical debates. Let’s do something. I always hear in this call there are people starving. I always discern in this a more ominous injunction. Do it and don't think too much. Today, we need thinking."

..decay ..at will. Mental .. what is it ..

Truth of the matter: The Majorana particle mystery - physics-math - 14 May 2012 - New Scientist


"Determining whether neutrinos are Majorana particles, meanwhile, might finally tell us why there is something rather than nothing. If neutrinos and antineutrinos are distinct particles, equal numbers of each would have been produced in the big bang. In the highly energetic conditions of the early universe, each would have decayed into equal numbers of all manner of other particles and antiparticles. But if neutrinos and antineutrinos are the same particle, it could decay into particles or antiparticles .. "

"... at will. "


"There is no guarantee that those decays would have happened at the same rates: decays to particles might have slightly outnumbered decays to antiparticles. "It needs only a tiny difference, but this could be what makes the universe as we see it," says Silvia Pascoli, a particle physicist at Durham University, UK."

.. now .. too far-fetched .. the idea of mental .. what ..mental ..might be .. and the associations that sprung into my mind .. reading this article .. are un-real ..

why did I isolate .. 'at will' .. it is strange that .. the author of this article .. thought appropriate to use the term ..at will ..for such a phenomenon .. a term that we attribute .. mental or to ..mental capacity

oh heck .. going haywire ..

"Not much use if, as soon as the two bits meet, they blow each other up. But the beauty of Majorana particles is that they don't have to interact for you to use them for computing. You can change the quantum states of a Majorana pair in concert simply by moving them around each other. By guiding these twisty movements in a pre-determined way, you can effectively run a whole series of computing steps: an algorithm."

.. a mechanism .. to sort out ..that sea ..of particles .. enabling ..mental ..processes .. series of computing steps .. "topological" number-crunching .. to undergo ..

"If the recent sightings are confirmed, it will be full speed ahead with attempts to harness this sort of "topological" number-crunching. "Five years ago it was pure fantasy," says theorist Frank Wilczek at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. "The theoretical ideas have been way ahead, but now the experiments are catching up - that's very exciting.""

Singularly Complex. The Catch with Hybrid Finance

"Over the last few years, a small group of experts have built a parallel description of financial markets that go much beyond the orthodox dogma taught in a typical MBA finance course. These researchers have uncovered a very rich set of analogies with ecological and other biological systems..

...which have helped us understand the mechanism behind financial crashes—both Flash and the more prolonged purges—and given us a comprehensive notion of the global human/machine hybrid financial system which is, to use a very bold word, living.

...human/machine hybrid financial systems .. that are living .. the concept 'living' acquires new attributes .. surpasses its context .. its contextual limits .. beyond the confines of context ..

Building models and theories that cut across disciplinary boundaries, and through extensive computational modeling, these researchers, including early pioneers of chaos theory such as Robert May and Doyne Farmer, have presented us with a narrative about the future of finance that is, again to use a bold word, alarming.

Intergalactic subway: All aboard the wormhole express



"They uncovered a wealth of wormhole solutions in one of the popular versions of brane-world gravity, which describes our world as a 4D island or "brane" floating in higher dimensions. "No phantom matter is required, and the wormholes can have an arbitrary size," says Bronnikov."

"If the extra dimensions of higher dimensional theories are rolled up very small, or "compactified", that would explain why we do not experience them directly. The process of compactifying the extra six dimensions of string theory creates several new force fields, such as the so-called dilaton field. In the same way that general relativity describes gravity as the curvature of space, gravity in DEGB theory depends on the curvature plus the curvature raised to a higher power."

synchronization .. synchronized chaos ..

Mastering Chaos

"The method devised by Ott, Grebogi and Yorke (referred to as OGY ) is conceptually straightforward. To start, one obtains information about the chaotic system by analyzing a slice of the chaotic attractor. After the information about this so-called Poincaré section has been gathered, one allows the system to run and waits until it comes near a desired periodic orbit in the section. Next the system is encouraged to remain on that orbit by perturbing the appropriate parameter. One strength of this method is that it does not require a detailed model of the chaotic system but only some information about the Poincaré section. It is for this reason that the method has been so successful in controlling a wide variety of chaotic systems."

"Whereas some investigators have searched for uses of chaos, others have sought to control it. One key to this effort lies in the realization that a chaotic attractor is an infinite collection of unstable periodic behaviors."

"If several identical systems whose attractors are all period two or greater are driven by the appropriate pseudoperiodic signal, they will all get in step."

.. they will get ..in step .. what does it bring to mind .. lock-stepped Bose-Einstein condensates ..

"Until this discovery, scientists had no reason to believe that the stability of a subsystem could be independent of the stability of the rest of the system. Nor had anyone thought that a nonlinear system could be stable when driven with a chaotic signal."

synchronization that brings into mind .. tuning .. melody .. music .. what makes the chords vibrate .. vibrate in unison .. in fact, when I write these lines .. synchronization is at bay .. it is the result of synchronized processes ..that grapple with words and their meanings .. as they instantiate in my mind ..



"Stability depends not only on the properties of the subsystem itself but on the driving signal. A subsystem may be stable when driven by one type of chaotic signal but not when driven by another. The trick is to find those subsystems that react to a chaotic signal in a stable way. In some cases, the stability of a subsystem can be estimated using a mathematical model, but in general such predictions are difficult."

"Stability depends not only on the properties of the subsystem itself but on the driving signal."
