Duncan The purpose of this paper is to present a model of the nature of reality and our perception of the universe, applying a few principles of quantum physics. This model represents a new view of reality, utilizing principles of quantum mechanics to explain the construct of existence, as humans perceive it. It is intended to provide a mental platform from which new insights about time, space, and human perception can be obtained. Finally, the author utilizes this model to speculate about various subjects, including the nature of "reality", the passage of time, and an opportunity to detect the presence of advanced life forms in our universe. I. What is the Fundamental Element of Our "Reality"? Speculation and investigation about the nature of our universe is at least as old as recorded history. Early philosophers theorized that the most fundamental element in the universe was water. Later, as scientific knowledge began to mature, our view of the universe became more complex, and for many years there was a widely accepted belief that the four primary elements in our universe were earth, air, water, and fire. Later investigations have centered around chemical elements, then molecular structure, atomic elements, electrons, quarks, and so on.

123. Linear Systems Theory These notes explain the following ideas related to linear systems theory Linear systems theory is a good timesaving theory for linear systems which http://www.cns.nyu.edu/~david/linear-systems/linear-systems.html

Linear Systems Theory Professor David Heeger Characterizing the complete input-output properties of a system by exhaustive measurement is usually impossible. When a system qualifies as a linear system , it is possible to use the responses to a small set of inputs to predict the response to any possible input. This can save the scientist enormous amounts of work, and makes it possible to characterize the system completely. These notes explain the following ideas related to linear systems theory: The challenge of characterizing a complex systems Simple linear systems Homogeneity Additivity Superposition Shift-invariance Decomposing a signal into a set of shifted and scaled impulses The impulse response function Use of sinusoids in analyzing shift-invariant linear systems Decomposing stimuli into sinusoids via Fourier Series Characterizing a shift-invariant system using sinusoids Examples Stereo Swinging pendulum Systems, Inputs, and Responses Step one is to understand how to represent possible inputs to systems. Imagine a picture that shows the structure of the physical stimulus reaching your ear. On the horizontal axis we have time, and on the vertical axis we will plot the instantaneous density of the air molecules at your ear. Thus, we plot signal strength as a function of time. In the case of a simple hand-clap, the disturbance is a short, transient burst and is aptly named an impulse . It looks like a single upwards blip on the graph: the sound pressure momentarily increases when the clap hits your ear. More complex sounds look like more complex graphs on this kind of plot. This sort of graph offers a general way to describe all of the possible auditory stimuli.

Notebooks General Systems Theory 15 May 1997 15:42 ``Lord, I disbelieve; help Thou my unbelief.'' An off-shoot of cybernetics , with (so far as I can see) far less to recommend it. This is not to say that none of its advocates ever produced anything worthwhile, just that the credit for it should not go to the verbiage which passed for ``approaches to a general theory of systems'' (query - why is that phrase much more respectable than ``theory of things in general''?). Its hey-day was in the '60s and '70s, when my father was studying planning, and took a course or three in it from C. West Churchman (see below); it seems to have become extinct by now, though some of the survivors have tried to hitch it to complexity . It is not to be confused with dynamical systems theory in mathematics, still less systems of equations, though I've seen philosophers and science-studies people do both.

133. A SUMMARY OF THE PRINCIPLES OF HIERARCHY THEORY The Hierarchy theory is a dialect of general systems theory. Hierarchy theory the challenge or complex systems. Braziller, New York. http://www.isss.org/hierarchy.htm

A SUMMARY OF THE PRINCIPLES OF HIERARCHY THEORY The Hierarchy theory is a dialect of general systems theory. It has emerged as part of a movement toward a general science of complexity. Rooted in the work of economist, Herbert Simon, chemist, Ilya Prigogine, and psychologist, Jean Piaget, hierarchy theory focuses upon levels of organization and issues of scale. There is significant emphasis upon the observer in the system. Hierarchies occur in social systems, biological structures, and in the biological taxonomies. Since scholars and laypersons use hierarchy and hierarchical concepts commonly, it would seem reasonable to have a theory of hierarchies. Hierarchy theory uses a relatively small set of principles to keep track of the complex structure and a behavior of systems with multiple levels. A set of definitions and principles follows immediately: Hierarchy: in mathematical terms , it is a partially ordered set. In less austere terms, a hierarchy is a collection of parts with ordered asymmetric relationships inside a whole. That is to say, upper levels are above lower levels, and the relationship upwards is asymmetric with the relationships downwards. Hierarchical levels: levels are populated by entities whose properties characterize the level in question. A given entity may belong to any number of levels, depending on the criteria used to link levels above and below. For example, an individual human being may be a member of the level i) human, ii) primate, iii) organism or iv) host of a parasite, depending on the relationship of the level in question to those above and below.

A Contribution to General Systems Theory (GST) Version 1.15 by Kirby Urner Table of Contents Asset: Our Sponsoring Sun Liability: Our Broken Economy Net Worth: The Role of Intelligence The Alchemy of Language ... GST Graphics with Explanatory Text Asset: Our Sponsoring Sun Earth Incorporated is a nonprofit corporation, if conceived in bookkeeping terms, because she is a sponsored enterprise fueled by grant income from Sun. Terawatts of full spectrum, sky-filtered, radiation bathe our land- and sea-scapes not a loan, but a grant, continuously given. Whatever circuitry we humans co-invent with nature within and around our biosphere, does not for a moment reverse the cosmic flow. Earth receives a steady current, like a home appliance plugged into a grid, and current equals currency: money from heaven pure and simple. We cannot repay Sun. Sun is not a bank, and yet is at the top of the wealth pyramid, empowering all below. At some level further down the pyramid, we humans contrived banking and invented interest, but not on the model of our whole system enterprise, the Earthian economy. Pyramidal power structures intervene between sunlight and those who would consume it, to create areas of light and shadow. This we call our economy, although it is seamlessly embedded within our ecology from which it ultimately cannot be differentiated.

June 04, 2005 Simulated Universes and the Nature of Consciousness Researchers in Europe have completed the first phase of what may be the largest computational physics experiment in history : They built and ran a simulated universe through 14 billion years of development. The experiment used up 25 million megabytes of memory, and the biggest supercomputer in Europe for a month. The result was a "Cube of Creation" of 20 billion light years per side, containing 20 million simulated galaxies. Now they're studying it to see what evolved. They hope to gain insights into the function of black holes, and other cosmological principles. This is an amazing piece of work definitely the future of cosmology research. In previous articles , I've speculated that our own universe might also be such a simulation, perhaps run by a much more advanced civilization in a meta-universe outside ours. But in fact, I think our universe is probably quite different from a mere computer simulation (despite how cool it would be if it

Behind each cell is an impact sensor and a processor equipped with algorithms that allow it to communicate only with its immediate neighbours. Just as ants secrete pheromones to help guide other ants to food, the CSIRO algorithms leave digital messages in cells around the system, indicating for instance the position of the boundary around a damaged region.
