IS CHANGING THE PARADIGM EASY?

“It will turn out after all that the human organism is

a hologram, and each part of it reflects the whole.”

A virtual model of the Universe proposed in the paper includes the basic features of the paradigm arising at the junction between contemporary science and esoteric knowledge. These are the features:

The main chapter titled “Virtual model of the Universe” expounds the essence of the proposed model with the help of two explanatory examples, where for the sake of convenience a plane is considered instead of three-dimensional space. One example with conditional presentation of holograms is shown in Fig. 1 – 4b. The other example describing a three-dimensional “optico-mechanical” model is given at the end of that chapter.

In the chapter “Sources” the cultural events, papers, books and pictures are cited and discussed which helped me form the vision of the Universe depicted in this paper.

The chapter “Supplementary materials” need not be read to understand the paper, but I hope that its first section will please those who like the books by my favorite authors, the Strugatsky brothers. The second section of that chapter offers a description of three mental experiments with film, which offer a “tangible”, “engineering” insight into some peculiarities of the proposed virtual model.

The three “Appendices” contain what I believe to be very useful information linked to some of the publications cited in the “Sources”.

Let us view all reality (visible and invisible to humans, belonging to the realms of the past, the present and the future, and comprising each human as its component part) as a single highly complex Superintelligent Organism O, which is an intertwinement, interference of multidimensional holograms (Fig. 1 – 2). One of the dimensions is the axis of time T. For each object of the usual three-dimensional physical space, we consider a set of all this object’s states during all the time of its existence. More precisely, in our virtual model we consider a multidimensional hologram for each object of the reality, which corresponds to that object and has at least 4 dimensions – three spatial and one temporal (for support of this viewpoint see Appendices 1 – 3).

In our virtual model the flow of time can be presented as the gliding of a hyperplane of “materialization or visualization” M (which “displays” all the reality embraced by this hyperplane), along the axis of time, to which it is perpendicular. The term “hyperplane in a multidimensional world” designates a subspace whose dimensionality is 1 less than that of the world. In our four-dimensional virtual model hyperplane M has three dimensions, and at each moment in time it “displays” the material world of the three-dimensional space in its state at that very moment.

M will be referred to below as a “plane”, and the reader can correlate it with either the three-dimensional space from the four-dimensional virtual model or with the presentation of M as a two-dimensional plane in all our figures.

“The objective reality given in perception” to a definite human at a definite point in time is an interferential picture formed within the framework of section S by the intersection of our hologram H with other holograms (as in Fig. 1).

A human’s memory is comparable to a mirror MP placed at section S and directed “backwards” along the axis of time. It reflects the preceding sections of this hologram – generally speaking, the farther back, the less distinctly (Fig. 3a, 3b).

All religions have ultimately been called upon to teach humans

After all, this is the way to educate a human as a healthy intelligent part of the universal Superintelligent Whole!

The first stage in man’s development along this path was the inculcation of wholesome norms for social life. For each stage of society’s development these norms embraced everything – from the methods of killing animals for food (stunning them so that they feel no pain) to the ethical heights in relations among people.

There is also room for clairvoyance (at a distance, into the past and the future) in the framework of the given model – let us assume, for instance, that an intelligent hologram H of sufficiently “high standing” within the general hierarchy of the Superintelligent Whole O has in section S, besides mirror MP (turned towards the past), also a mirror of the future MF directed “forward” with respect to the axis of time T (Fig. 4a, 4b). This model presumes the “supernatural” powers of some humans to influence other humans as well as the development of global events. Such individuals – geniuses, prophets, extrasensory persons, great leaders – are comparable to nerves of Organism O conveying signals from its brain to the heart or to another important organ, and some of these humans can be likened to various centers inside the brain of the Whole...

Superintelligent Organism O could be visualized as shaped like a tall, widening upwards, transparent or translucent vase containing its translucent component “organs”, which are developments of diverse objects of reality in time. The axis of time T is the vertical axis of the vase. The flow of time can be depicted by the thin luminous plane M, “transverse” to the vase, gliding along the axis of time, to which it is perpendicular. The cross-section of the vase by this luminous plane is the “momentary state” of all reality at the given point in time. In particular, the cross-section of object H by this plane is section S. The materialization-visualization plane M gliding along the axis of time T inside O enables H to generate “light of conscience flashes” (light reflected from the mirror of conscience MC positioned at section S). These flashes in their turn affect the entire Organism O to some degree and can sometimes – if this is expedient for the Whole – change the position and shape of the entire object H, which is the history of the development in time – physical and spiritual – of the given concrete individual.

The entire Superintelligent Organism O could also be presented more accurately as such an all-embracing human figure in the process of movement and development, rather than simply a vase – the Cabbala maintains, for instance, that the entire content of the Universe forms a human figure...

I am deeply grateful to Dr. Victor Okhonin, Dr. Paul (Pesach) Amnuel, Dr. Wenjamin Aszkenazy and Dr. Thomas Hansen for most stimulating discussions and their attention to my work.

I am deeply grateful to Elena Sappa for her superb illustrations to this paper.

My family’s contribution to the paper is inestimable. My father’s (blessed be his memory) insight cited as an epigraph above provided the initial incentive for my deliberations. My mother, a professional musician, pored over the first version of the paper and offered a wealth of most useful advice and remarks. My brother, also a musician, suggested the above-mentioned analogy with a tomogram. My daughter constantly tends to our family’s everyday needs, thereby enabling me to have my head in the clouds. My heartfelt thanks to all of them!

I believe that I benefited in forming the above-presented image from:

The axis of time passing inside the Universal Organism O is viewed as a straight line in our model, the movement of materialization plane M along it is unidirectional and constant in velocity. “The GIVEN MOMENT IN TIME” means a point on the time axis together with the materialization plane M passing through it.

Suppose that object H is Janus Poluectovich in all his spatial and temporal positions, with all his thoughts and impressions during his life span. Let us consider H as a “pipe” in Fig. 2 or 3b bent like a loop (not like the letter O, but like C turned 90° clockwise, i.e. open from below). Its lowest point on the left is the moment of his birth, the lowest point on the right is his death. Generally speaking, the left and right arcs in this figure may differ in length. This model resembles the life of Janus Poluectovich as described in the book, the difference being that in the Strugatskys’ book the life of U-Janus consisted of continuous segments each 24 hours long, within which “subjective time” moved in the same direction as objective time, but every midnight leaped “back” to the midnight 48 hours before. In our model, however, the materialization plane, which also determines the movement of conscience, moves constantly upwards over the entire loop (including its right arc as well), so that U-Janus’s conscience flows continuously from his old age till the point where he was “transformed” from A-Janus into U-Janus. Above that point (i.e. after his A to U transformation) none of them is present at sections S, meaning that neither of the two Januses exists for the people around.

More precisely, let us assume for transparency that both arcs of the translucent bent pipe H are of equal length, i.e. the human under consideration (A-Janus in the left arc) was born and grew up, then exactly in the middle of his life span switched over to “reverse time flow” with regard to the ambient reality (i.e. became U-Janus in the right arc). U-Janus died a very old man at the same objective moment when A-Janus was born.

Materialization plane M starts its movement from below, parallel to the plane upon which both ends of the translucent bent pipe H rest. At the cross-section S of pipe H by that plane light emerges – solid matter – life, but as plane M moves to the next position, the preceding section S is “discolored” and reverses from a moment of real life to a translucent “sketch”.

Thus the objective flow of time coincides with the course of conscience from youth to old age for the left arc of bent pipe H, but is opposite for the right arc.

The question is what will be reflected in the mirror of the past MP positioned at section S in the right arc – what is below it on the axis of time (old age and death) or what precedes it by the laws of nature (i.e. birth and youth).

According to the Strugatskys U-Janus remembered what was HIGHER on the axis of time for him and those around him. For the latter this is the future, but for whoever moves WITHIN PIPE H from its bend to the end of the right arc this is the past. Consequently, U-Janus’s MP mirror was turned towards the bend in the pipe (and if “fiber optics” were available inside the tube, the mirror could reach the end of the left arc as well, at which Janus was born – then as A-Janus).

The sector of the right arc in the pipe which was already in the past for those around U-Janus (and BELOW the given position of plane M on the axis of time) was for him the future, which he did not know. That is why he constantly asked everybody: “Did I talk with you yesterday?” Therefore, according to the Strugatskys, U-Janus remembered what preceded by the laws of nature, i.e. at any given moment of time T he remembered all his youth, though part of it was displayed in the material world later (for an outside observer) than moment T.

Dear readers, the following section 2 of “Supplementary materials” is specially intended for those who prefer tangible technical models. All other readers are invited to skip this section without prejudice to understanding the paper and pass on to “Appendices”.

Let us take a “tangible” example of an explanatory model for axis T, object H, plane M and section S. True, this is one of the “crudest” models, it explains how the axis of time can be presented visually, but does not show the human’s conscience, let alone the way a human can at some point in time change his/her predestined future, and sometimes even his past (more on this in my subsequent publications, I hope). As can be seen from what follows below, this model can be designated as “reverse film projector” (with the film motionless and the light beam moving). But the film will not be a continuous reel...

Thus, a piece of film is taken where the same person is photographed half face by a motionless camera in the course of some action (e.g. going downstairs). Let the man wear a tight red suit, his head and face are painted red; the staircase is painted yellow.

The film is then cut into frames, which are threaded on a vertical wire (representing time axis T) passing through the centers of the frames in temporal order (what comes before is below). The resulting high stack of frames comprises two objects that are “organs” of the Superintelligent Organism – the red object H is formed by the images of the red man in all the frames, while the unnamed yellow object is formed by the pictures of the yellow staircase in all the frames.

Also assume that a light beam is trained from aside on the wire with the frames. It is vertically flattened like the minus sign, but is wide enough horizontally to fully illuminate precisely one frame (although the beam falls on the edge of the frame, the light is assumed to penetrate the entire area of the frame). The beam moves along the stack from bottom to top, lighting up one frame momentarily and immediately passing on to the next one. This beam represents plane M.

This is a clarification of the preceding model illustrating the notion of the Mirror of the Past MP and Mirror of the Future MF. The man in the model can see the past and the future, but he has not even rudimentary conscience (as the ability to reflect the reality given to him in perceptions at the present moment).

Consider frame K, one of those threaded on the wire, and let us glue a thin mirror to its lower surface inside the image of the flat red man’s head, which reflects all the frames positioned below K in the stack. This is the mirror of the past MP (as in Fig. 3a). Let us attach similar mirrors to the lower surfaces of all the other frames in the stack. The red man has now got a memory!

Let us also predetermine that on the man’s 50th birthday he will be endowed with the gift of envisioning the future. For that purpose let us attach another thin mirror inside the image of the man’s head, this time to the upper surface of every frame starting with the one corresponding to the morning of his 50th birthday. This is the mirror of the future MF (as in Fig. 4a). For every given frame K this mirror will reflect all the frames positioned above K in the stack.

This is a clarification of the preceding model illustrating the notion of rudimentary conscience as the ability to reflect the reality given in perceptions at the present moment. Animal also have such conscience.

Let us cut out a piece of film from frame K (inside the image of the head) shaped exactly like the mirror and replace the piece by the latter. Recall that the head in all the frames is shown half face, not full face. Since most information from outside comes through the senses, the organs of which are in the face and not at the back of the head, for the sake of transparency the mirror should be positioned inside the head so as to have the arc with the larger diameter turned to the face.

This mirror will reflect the part of frame K which is within the reach of the mirror; in particular, it will reflect the reduced view of the part of the two-dimensional staircase (i.e. part of the sideview of the three-dimensional staircase habitual for the author and the readers) at which the red man in the frame is looking at the given moment. The mirror will also reflect the man’s inner structure as presented in that frame, for humans sense not only the outside world, but themselves as well!

This mirror models human conscience and will be designated MC (Mirror of Conscience).

Let us perform a similar operation of implanting mirror MC on all the frames in the stack. Thus the red man acquires the ability to perceive (reflect) the ambient reality at any given moment and even to reflect his own state at the moment!

Now recall the sentence from the last paragraph (before the Notes) in the description of Model 1: “The image of the red man in the frame illuminated by the beam at the given moment in time is (in the proposed crude model) section S.” In the clarified model 3 section S remains “the image of the red man in the frame illuminated by the beam at the given moment in time”, but now (as distinct from Model 1) this image comprises the Mirror of the Past MP (with whatever is reflected in it) and the Mirror of the Future MF (with whatever is reflected in it), as well as the Mirror of Conscience MC, where everything present at section S is reflected (except MC itself); in particular, MC reflects mirrors MP and MF with all the images from the past and the future reflected in them...

Note 3. It can now be clarified precisely what is reflected in the mirror of the past for the considered Model 3. For an ordinary (not extrasensory) human not all the preceding frames in the stack are reflected, but only the states of the Mirror of Conscience from all the preceding frames in the stack, because an ordinary, not clairvoyant human recalls only that from his past which he had seen and experienced in that past.
