“Does God Play Dice With The Universe?”: An Intuitive Explanation of Quantum Superposition, Differentiated from the Uncertainty Principle
Firstly, it is worth differentiating quantum superposition from Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle- the former representing the non-classical simultaneous occupation of two (seemingly exclusive) states, and the latter being a constraint on the measurement of a system or state. The most well known example of superposition is Schrodinger’s cat, but I think I can do one better.…

The Garden of Eden and its Symbolism
I look at the story of Genesis- namely the description of the garden of Eden as holding profound insights into the most foundational geometries in nature. This story, no doubt, is a syncretism of other such stories and doctrines. We have the tree- a fractal; a form observed in all areas and scales of nature.…

Honesty, Truth, Bullshit & Lies
First off- because some of the content in this post was inspired by others, I feel I should give credit where credit is due. I love deep conversations with people, and I’ve been fortunate enough to have spent time with some great minds, and found some great communities over the past few years. Most notably,…

Principia Primordia – Meditations on the Structure of the Universe – Quantum Phenomena Part 2: Superposition, Entanglement, Quantum Gravity and Dark Matter.
So, to revise what has been previously said: Things exist locally to a frame (the same general area) over a duration, by spinning about an axis or around a point; things either fly through space linearly- into the distance and away, or they orbit around a common point (stars around the galactic centre, planets around…

The Intersection of AI, Free Will, and Ancient Philosophies
What wisdom can 3000 year old scripture shed on AI and consciousness? Whilst the rest of the old world tried to investigate the nature of reality by studying the objective world, there were a group of people who understood that this endeavour had limits. Given that we experience the world through the subjective lense of…

Elohim
A water-drop upon-the seas of time.Perturbed; ocean waves, embraced:Eating its own tail -a snake.Self-reflected around-about-a mirror in the middle. A dream of a dream, and all else;The primordial song, a musical spell. A well-beam of light, held in place- single moment.Time chain-link in flight, intercausal foment;a wrestle with own substance, gnarled limbs in collaborative contest,…

Principia Primordia – Meditations on the Structure of the Universe: Quantum Phenomena – Part 1: Superposition of Spin States and Entanglement
Most of us have heard of the famous cat in the box- both dead and alive; a thought experiment intended to highlight the unintuitive behaviour of physics at a quantum level. Well, a cat being dead and alive is a very strange and unintuitive way of describing it as far as I’m concerned- and there’s…

Principia Primordia: Meditations on the Structure of reality – Introduction pt.2
I’d like to offer a second part of the introduction, and revise some of what I have written previously, as well as contextualise and build upon the conceptual geometries stated. This will be useful for the next sections. First of all, I’d like to replace polarity with symmetry- as I think that polarity is a…

Principia Primordia – Meditations & Reasoning on the Structure of the Universe: Part 1 – Introduction
The Universe may never be explainable in a single formal framework – which I think is fair to say is the endeavour of contemporary theoretical physics. A unification of formal systems of prediction. Godel’s incompleteness theorem shows us that no formal axiomatic system of logic or maths can ever be ‘complete’; that is to say…
