I've been prattling along about the concept of the group-mind for some days now, I think that its time to freshen up a bit and begin a new thread, and a segue to a new topic, universal mind. If we accept the idea that human mind is not an isolated biological phenomenon but is connective and collective on at least some level we must then Identify that level. The theory of Digital Physics is a good starting point.
Stated very basically, Digital Physics is the theory that the universe is fundamental made of information. The implication being that the universe is a computer. If you think about it it seems a logical an reasonable proposition. The form "tree" is a complex, compound structure composed of a vast number of smaller sub-structures each of which is composed of even smaller one's. Like any computer program that is a collection of sub-routines that ultimately reduce to 7 basic logic gates acting upon binary information. The picture or words that you perceive are just a representation of a concept the reality is just 0's and 1's its that pattern that matters. This makes thought the primary element. Content and Context are the reality of the universe that we perceive not matter and energy. We are, if this is even partially true, truly the "universe looking back upon itself" as Alan Watts said. The field of teleology seeks to prove intentionality in the design of the universe, I believe that the existence of a design at all is both the proof and the intention. Consciousness is its own purpose. Intelligence is not consciousness, just the stuff of which it is made. Consider this:
1) Proton - Neutron - electron (fundamental particles)
2) protein - fat - carbohydrate (organic chemistry)
3) White - Black - Grey (Color)
4) Male - Female - Child (humanity)
5) Positive - Negative - Neutral (metaphysical Properties)
6) past - present - future (time)
7) solid - liquid - gas (Physical Properties)
9) 0 - 1 - Infinity (mathematics)
10) Square - triangle - circle (2d Geometry)
11) point - line - void (1d Geometry)
12) pictures - numbers - words (symbolic)
13) and - or - not (logic)
14) Sphere - Tetrahedron - Cube (3d Geometry)
The above list shows the apparent pattern of fundamental type of information and properties of the universe having three (3) base elements. Underline apparent, some of the list is arguable but you get the idea. Hackers Unite! Start your "cracker" algorithms can you hack the universe?
