A. Basic Ideas

1

TGD

1. Basic notions of TGD

● Space-time as a 4-dimensional surface in 8-D space-time

● Many-sheeted space-time

● Zero Energy ontology

● Topological field quantization and the notion of field body/magnetic body

● Dark matter hierarchy and hierarchy of Planck constants

● p-Adic physics as physics of cognition and intention

2

2. Some ideas of the TGD-inspired theory of Consciousness

● Quantum jump between time evolutions of Schrödinger equation as moment of consciousness. Free will outside space-time and Hilbert space. Resolution of basic problem of quantum measurement theory. Creative evolution.

● The notions of self and subself: subselves as mental images.

● Everything is conscious. But consciousness can be lost by quantum entangling.

● Self hierarchy-hierarchy of quantum jumps- dark matter hierarchy: self hierarchy reduces to the hierarchy of quantum jumps.

● Many-sheeted space-time leads to a new view about entanglement: sharing and fusion of mental images. Telepathy as sharing of mental images.

● Qualia -- increments of quantum numbers of subsystem in quantum jump.

3

3. New view about Time

● Subjective(i.e., experienced)-time and Geometric-Time are different things.

● Subjective-time as sequence of sub-quantum jumps. Geometric-Time as physicist’s coordinate time.

● Why are the two times are so closely related? Why "arrow of time"?

● TGD assigns to positive/negative energy system Future/Past light cone: fractal hierarchy of cosmologies with cosmologies. Arrow of subjective-time should have as space-time correlate the geometric arrow of time for lightcone.

● Subselves correspond to zero energy space-time sheets: determine the contents of conscious experiences. Do they shift towards geometric-Future quantum jump by quantum jump along background space-time sheet? Or are they scaled up in size so that upper end shifts towards geometric-Future?

Space-time sheet would literally grow in both time directions! Special case of cosmic expansion. Or does psychological time define wave front of intentional action propagating towards geometric-Future: p-adic space-time sheets transforming to real ones.

● Reversed arrow of geometric-Time associated with negative energy parts of quantum states.

4

4. Implications of Zero Energy ontology

● Communications possible also to the direction of geometric-Past using negative energy signals.

● Phase conjugate laser beams as negative energy signals.

● Kozyrev’s findings about three different signals from astrophysical objects.

● Advanced waves and retrocausality discussed by Antonella Vannini.

● Syntropy and Entropy discussed by Ulisse Di Corpo. Generalization of Second Law.

● Mechanisms of memory storage and recall, remote metabolism, mechanism of intentional action.

● 4-D body and brain. 4-D society. Our 4-D body continues conscious existence after biological death. The deceased would still be there.

5

5. Remote Metabolism

● Many-sheeted laser: dropping of particles to larger space-time sheet liberates quantized Zero-Point kinetic energy. Metabolic energy currency of about 0.5 eV Zero-Point kinetic energy of proton at atom-sized space-time sheet.

● Quantum credit card. Bank as population inverted laser like system in geometric-Past. System can get positive energy by sending negative energy to the geometric-Past. Laser returns to ground state as it receives the negative energy signal.

● Mechanism extremely flexible: only a system able to provide the energy to laser is needed. Evolutionary advantage in jungle!

● Possible technological applications of remote metabolism. Low frequency dark photons as carriers of negative energy over long distances. No need to carry the fuel. Universal energy currencies!

6

6. New view about Memory

● No necessity to store memories about past to the brain of geometric-Now: memories stored to the brain of geometric-Past.

Prediction: damage to the brain of geometric-Now need not lead to loss of memories if memory recall mechanism is not lost (see this). There is some recent empirical evidence for this.

● Episodal memories could correspond to sharing of mental images of the brain of geometric-Past by time-like quantum entanglement.

● Declarative memories communications with geometric-Past: negative energy signal to geometric-Past as memory recall. Response by positive energy signal as memory.

● Bit representation for declarative memories. Population reversed state=1, ground state =0 . Metabolic energy feed is needed to regenerate population inversion.

● Are we conscious during sleep but do not remember anything? Life cycle as single quantum jump at highest level of personal self hierarchy suggests that this is the case. How else could I know that I existed yesterday? The absence of the metabolic energy feed would imply the absence of memories about sleeping periods?

● Telepathy: could one experience memories/mental images of another person or is there some kind of cognitive immune system at work.

● Reincarnations discussed by Erlendur Haraldson: sharing of mental images with a brain of geometric-Past be in question?

7

7. Mechanism of Intentional Action

● p-Adic space-time sheet as a representation of intention: transformed in quantum jump to a real space-time sheet representing negative energy photon and propagating to geometric-Past. Induces neural activity in geometric-Past leading to a motor activity in geometric-Now. Flexibility and instantaneous reactions.

● Libet’s finding: neural activity in brain begins by a fraction-of-second before the conscious decision. Is free will illusion? No: ”before” refers to geometric-Time -- not to subjective-Ttime.

● Field body/magnetic body containing large hbar dark matter intentional agent using biological body as a motor instrument and sensory receptor.

● Fractal hierarchy in which control commands from boss propagate downwards in the hierarchy of the layers of magnetic body and finally end down to the neuronal level.

8

8. Dark Matter hierarchy and hierarchy of Planck constants

● Dark matter with large value of Planck constant would be Macroscopic quantum phase since Compton length scales as hbar. Macroscopic quantum coherence even in astrophysical length scales since gravitational hbar gigantic (Bohr quantization of planetary orbital radii).

● EEG photons with large hbar could have energy above thermal energy at body temperature. Would explain why EEG correlates with the state of brain and contents of consciousness.

● Effects of ELF EM fields on brain of vertebrates (see this as example). B = 0.2 Gauss: not same as Earth’s B = 0.5 Gauss. Dark magnetic field in question? Do great leaps in Evolution could correspond to the increase for the largest hbar in personal hierarchy of field bodies?

● Could ORMUS discussed by Roger Taylor result when valence electrons transform to dark matter? Chemical inertness and high (even super-?) conductivity could be understood assuming hbar→6 hbar. The claimed very low critical magnetic field could be understood for hbar→211hbar. [StealthSkater note: more on ORMEs/ORMUS is archived on the "ORMEs" page at => doc pdf URL ]

● Orgone energy discussed by Richard Blasband as a real effect related to dark matter? [StealthSkater note: more on orgone energy archived on the "PX#Reich" page at => doc pdf URL ]

9. Field body as Intentional Agent

● Field body/magnetic body contains dark matter with large value of Planck constant. Receives sensory input from biological body and quantum controls it. Biological body as sensor and motor instrument.

● Sizes of magnetic field bodies astrophysical. Light-life defines scale for the largest field body certainly present (larger ones might be present). [p-Adic space-time sheets have literally infinite size and duration! Cognition cosmic phenomenon.]

● Field body would share sensory mental images generated by sensory receptors and also cognitive mental images generated by brain. Cognitive mental images would be also generated at field body.

● Fractal hierarchy of field bodies. Fractal hierarchy of generalized EEGs would be responsible for communications to and control by magnetic body.

● Cell membrane as fundamental sensory receptor. Sensory input would be communicated to magnetic body by generalized EEG photons. Fractal hierarchy of EEGs.

10

10. Magnetic body as Intentional Agent

● Magnetic body would use genome as a motor instrument by inducing gene expression. Magnetic flux sheets go through genes.

● The larger the magnetic flux, the more genes associated with flux sheet. Generalization of the notion genome: super-genome consisting of a large number of genomes organized like lines of text at the page of book defined by flux sheet. Hyper-genome formed from super-genomes and can involve genomes of different organisms. Collective coherent gene expression.

● Great leaps in Evolution would mean emergence of new hierarchy levels with larger hbar and the organization of genomes to larger structures. Larger field bodies -- more precise cognitive representations. Longer time scales of memory and planned action.

● Quantum control involves EEG: cyclotron transitions of dark ions at magnetic body. Alpha band contains cyclotron frequencies of biologically important ions. Narrow sub-bands on beta and theta bands (Nunez) predicted correctly.

11

11. New view about Cell Membrane

● Experimental findings challenge pump-channel paradigm. Cell membrane continues to function in absence of metabolic energy feed.

● Ionic currents through cell membrane quantal. Independent of the structure of cell membrane. Same currents for artificial membranes!

● Cell membrane as Josephson junction. Josephson current would generates part of generalized EEG (beta and theta bands, for instance).

● Could dominating parts of ionic and electronic currents be dark supra currents with large hbar? Would not dissipate much energy.

● Could sensory receptors purposefully generate small ohmic currents in order to measure the properties of chemical environment using the dissipation rate as measure?

● Could most metabolic energy go to the buildup of fractal hierarchy of dark EEGs with large photon energy?

12

12. Applications of the notion of Field Body

● Luminous phenomena: plasmoids as primitive lifeforms.

● OBEs: Interference effects for light signals between field body and biological body allow field body to represent the motion of biological body as its own motion.

● Psi tracks: thought bubbles as field bodies.

● Psychokinesis: General mechanism of intentional action applied to other than own biological body. Favors retro-PK.

● Memory of water: also molecules have field body which water can mimic. PK forcing water to retain its memories might be involved.

13

13. Luminous phenomena

● Could light balls be plasmoids: primitive lifeforms? Dark matter at field body controlling ordinary matter in plasma state? [StealthSkater note: more on plasma lifeforms is on the "UFO#Plasmoids" page => doc pdf URL ]

● High temperature not a problem if large hbar photons are involved. Even ELF photons could be possible.

● Observations of Romanian research group support the view about plasmoids as primitive lifeforms. (E. Lozneanu and M. Sanduloviciu (2003), Chaos, Solitons and Fractals, Volume 18, Issue 2, October, p. 335)

● According to Dave Akers, magnetic pulses can accompany light balls. Their durations vary in a wide range. The strength B = 0.3 Gauss of pulse is mentioned as an example (I do not know whether this holds true generally). B = 0.2 Gauss is associated with the effects of ELF EM fields on vertebrate brain.

Pulses could be generated when a flux tube or sheet associated with the moving plasmoid traverses the measurement instrument. Prediction: the duration of pulse should be inversely proportional to the velocity of light ball.

14

14. Many-sheeted Laser and Remote Metabolism

● Many-sheeted laser and remote metabolism: dropping of particles to larger space-time sheets and remote metabolism. Universal metabolic energy quanta present already in prebiotic stage: chemistry would bring in only the storage of energy.

● Plasmoids would prefer regions of tectonic activity if these regions could liberate the needed metabolic energy. Dropping of particles to larger space-time sheets could occur in these regions and 0.5 eV photons would define universal metabolic currency. IR lines at this energy signature a signature of this mechanism. [StealthSkater note: geologist Dr. Bruce Cornet corroborated UFO sightings with geological activity (see the "UFO#Cornet" page at => doc pdf URL ). Especially in the New England area and "Montauk corridor".]

● Björn-Gitle Hauge mentioned a very interesting mechanism of metabolism based on burning of Sc by O and Ti by N producing visible light at specific frequencies serving as signature. Sc and Ti appear in Hessdalen which is an old mining region. This mechanism is not yet proven.

15

15. Out of Body Experiences (OBEs) and Field Body

● Field body can change it shape. The relative motion of field body and biological body generates interference patterns. These hologram-like interference patters might be fundamental for the generation of bodily sensations.

● Generalized somatosensory representations at the level of field body. Sensory input takes care that representation remains realistic.

● OBEs might result when sensory input is absent and field body changes shape or moves with respect to biological body. Train illusion. The belief that train moves generates a sensory representation as a motion of field body. Illusion of falling down from cliff resulting from the thought of falling down.

● Sensory deprivation (think tanks) and the state between sleep and awake optimal for generating OBEs.

● My own experiences about OBE states support this picture. The absence of the unpleasant sensory noise could be due to the absence of sensory input to the magnetic body and large hbar of magnetic body implying low dissipation.

● Heightened visual imaginative abilities characterize OBErs (also my own experiences support this). Also ”disorders” in temporal lobes can induce OBEs (I experience them as kind of electric oscillations in temporal regions of head in the beginning of experience).

OBEs could result when the usual somatosensory representations about body are not constructed and the metabolic energy is used by visual cortex instead.

16

16. Psi tracks and Psychokinesis (PK)

● Field bodies give rise to cognitive representations. The intersection of field body and its p-adic counterpart consisting of rational valued space-time points a discrete cognitive representations also crucial for realization of intentional action.

● Psi tracks discussed by Jens Tellefsen: ”thought bubbles” as dynamically generated field bodies? Could directed attention generate flux tubes connecting person with the object?

● Our own field bodies might be able to perform PK by applying general mechanism of intentional action. If target quantum critical system feeded by metabolic energy, the situation is optimal. For computers, this probably is not the case.

● Retro-PK most natural in this framework. For ordinary PK, the target could draw energy from the PK-able person by sending negative energy signals.

● Population inverted laser-like system optimal for retro-PK. Find whether intentional action can bring this kind of system to ground state without detectable emission of energy.

17

17. Machine-Human interactions

● In PEAR experiments discussed by Bob Jahn, random noise is transformed into bit sequences.

Operator has 3 intentional states: (a) intention to increase the number of 1:s(high); (b)0:s (low); or (c) no intention at all (baseline).

For series of 200 bits, sums are calculated. In a long run of about 800 million trials, the value for the sum was 100.026 for high and 99.984 for low. The effect is 3.8 times larger than the expected margin-of-error.

● The effect of intention could be on the generator of random noise, on bit sequence represented in the computer memory, or even on the recorded value of the sum of bits. A possible mechanism in the latter two cases is the reversal of electromagnetically represented bit.

● For the general mechanism of intentional action, retro-PK would induce a change in the charge distribution determining the value of bit. Negative energy photon could induce a dropping of ions to a larger space-time sheet.

Also the emission of negative energy dark W bosons (appearing in the TGD-based model of nerve pulse) could induce a change in the net charge. In both cases, the sign of charge would correlate with the character of intention and for the first mechanism there would be asymmetry between high and low (proton, electron).

● Tiller has performed experiments involving intentional imprinting of targets such as water. The imprinting manifested itself as temporal and spatial oscillations of pH and temperature. The surprising finding was conditioning. Also the air around intentionally imprinted device exhibited these oscillations. Also the computer could be conditioned.

The Fourier transform of the correlation function for bit sequences of random number generator demonstrated peaks at harmonics of f=1/ T, T= 113.778 min. This obviously represents a different kind of machine mind interaction. Could large energy dark cyclotron photons with these frequencies induce a periodic perturbation of the random bit sequence?

18

18. Memory of Water

● Also molecules have magnetic field bodies acting as intentional agents controlling the molecules. Nanomotors would not only look cooperating living creatures but also would be such!

● The field body of molecule would contain besides static magnetic and electric parts also dynamical parts characterized by frequencies and temporal patterns of fields. "Right-brain sings/left-brain talks" metaphor might generalize.

● The effects of bio-molecule to other bio-molecules in water would be characterized to some degree by its dynamical field body. Recognition system could be in question.

● Water could possess a hierarchy of field bodies. Water could be able to mimic the field bodies of molecules using water molecule clusters. Water could fake bio-molecule to believe that genuine bio-molecules are present. Vibrational and rotational spectra come first to mind.

The findings of Benveniste and others discussed by Yolene Thomas in Röros conference, however, show that the spectrum of molecule allowing other molecule to recognize it correspond to frequencies of order 10 kHz. Cyclotron frequencies associated with the magnetic body of the molecule are suggestive.

● Magnetic body would make the molecule a structure able to exhibit behavior determined by the ”name” of the other molecule rather than its mere chemical properties. Symbolic representations would emerge already at the level of biochemistry.

19

19. Benveniste’s experiment

● The action of pulse patterns on water could have explanation in terms of bit representation based on many-sheeted lasers. Analogy with computer storage of memories. Cognitive code. Water memory could rely on this kind of representation.

● Benveniste’s experiment demonstrating water memory involved extremely diluted solution of human antibodies to which human basofils reacted and thus effectively proved homeopathy.

● The results of experiments of Benveniste were reproduced in the original experimental arrangement. However, when experimentalists did not know which water bottles contained the diluted antibodies, the effect could not be replicated. Experimenter seems to be in a key role in some highly interesting manner.

● Metabolic energy feed is needed to preserve the bit sequence representations of antibodies using laser light systems as bit. Could experimenter supply the metabolic energy by remote metabolism? Possible only if experimenter knows in which bottle antibodies are dissolved.

● If this interpretation is correct, then Benveniste’s experiment demonstrates psycho-kinesis!

20

20. Biocontrol

● Decoherence of dark photons to ordinary ones might be a basic mechanism of biocontrol at all levels. Transformations of low frequency dark photons to ordinary photons with high frequency.

● "Scaling law of homeopathy": f(high)=2*1011 f(low) as one particular instance of decoherence (C. Smith (2001), "Learning From Water, A Possible Quantum Computing Medium", talk in CASYS'2001, 5th international conference on Computing Anticipating Systems held in Liege, Belgium, August 13-18).

● Decoherence might be associated with water memory. Dark negative energy signal with low frequency could travel a long distance before decoherence to ordinary high-frequency photon inducing dropping of particles to larger space-time sheets and giving possibly rise to primitive intentional action, remote metabolism, or memory recall. Even in case of water.

29. Space-time as 4-D surface in 8-D space-time

● Generalization of string model: 1-D string in 10-D space replaced with 3-D light-like surface in 8-D space H.

● 8-D space H obtained by replacing the points of the 4-D space-time of Special Relativity with certain 4-D space known as CP2. Size of CP2 very small.

● Poincare invariant theory of gravitation motivated by energy problem of General Relativity.

● Geometry of CP2 codes for known elementary particle quantum numbers.

● Geometrization of known fundamental interactions.

30

30. Dark matter hierarchy and hierarchy of Planck constants

● Finding: planetary orbits seem to obey Bohr rules (Nottale). Gravitational Planck constant gigantic and proportional to the masses of planet and Sun.

● Dark matter corresponds to ordinary dark matter with Planck constant different from ordinary one. Planck constant quantized and can have arbitrarily large values. Planck constant characterizes space-time sheets mediating various interactions between particles: ”relative field bodies”.

● Scaling-up of hbar means scaling up of Compton length and scaling-down of dissipation rate. Dark electron can have very large size. Dark matter Macroscopically quantum coherent phase: ”zoomed up” version of ordinary matter.

● The larger the Planck constant the higher the ”IQ” of system is. Hierarchy of conscious entities.

● Forces a generalization of the notion of 8-D imbedding space.

31

31. p-Adic physics and Real physics

● p-Adic number fields completions of rationals to continuous number fields just like reals. One for each prime p=2,3,5,7, ... The notion of continuity different than for reals.

● Reals and p-adic number fields must be fused to single coherent whole by gluing them together along common rationals and algebraics. Also the notion of space-time generalizes.

● p-Adic space-time sheets the space-time correlate of cognition and intentionality: ”mind stuff” of Descartes. p-Adically infinitesima is infinite in real sense. p-Adic space-time sheets infinite in real sense. Cognition and intentionality literally cosmic phenomena.

● p-Adic and real space-time sheets intersect along common algebraic points. Cognitive representations always discrete. The larger the real space-times, the better the representation.

● Intentionality and cognition visible in real physics by interaction via intersection of real and p-adic space-time sheets: effective p-adic topology in real sector. The success of elementary particle mass calculations suggests that cognition and intentionality is present already in elementary particle length scales.

● Physics must be formulated using the generalized notion of number. p-Adic space-time sheets obey formally same equations as the real ones.
