United sciences for philosophy (USFF)

Four mysteries stimulating conventional science are :
1. Why and how the Universe occurred ?
2. How the life occurred ?
3. What is consciousness and how to reproduce it ?
4. Is it possible to prevent next wars ?
It seems that conventional science is not able to answer these questions. Basic methodological assumptions of the conventional science is to take into account hypotheses which can be verified by some measurements during the repetition of the experiment. This methodology is not relevant to four most important questions. People like to now however "preliminary answers". There are always some propositions of explanations. They are proposed by philosophy and religious systems.
Many people reject explanations proposed by religious systems ( formulated as revelations) treating them as "non scientific", without rational grounds. The situation is however other when we will remark that "the religious module of the brain " exists and the emergence of religious believes are based on some comprehensible "physics ".
This remark enable the new trial of adjustments of different field of conventional science and , using this method of co-ordinations of scientific facts, to propose answers for enumerated essential questions. It will be not the next "revelation". It is not even the new speculation. It is simple the result of adjustment of facts from the enlarged spectrum of human thinking.
This thesis should be exemplified. We do it bellow. This new approach, it seems to us , merit to continuation. We invite bellow all interested people to contribute.
Watchwords of "USFF" ; at the present moment:
Many-sheeted space-time.
Earth's magnetic field.
Solar activity.
ELF EM fields.
W.O. Schumann resonance.
Cyclotron frequencies of important ions.
Magnetic transition frequencies.
Josephson junction and current.
Memetic code – memetic codons.
Mental image.
Many- sheeted DNA.
Quantum antenna hypothesis.
DNA action controlled by electromagnetic phenomena.
Beliefs.
Semitrans, quantum entanglements.
Negative time orientation of a space-time sheet.
Propagation of signal backwards in time.
Vacuum, production of energy from vacuum
Cosmic necessity. Holy Spirit, working configuration space.
Religious module of the brain.
Higher selves, super beings, "clever vacuum"
The authors of this web-site invite all people interested in USFF to contribute in its development. Any activity is awaited. Researcher and „thinkers” could propose their idea in their own „web-site”. We will link these websites to this one or to our „Phenomena Research Journal” ( the first journal of USFF).
We can include texts, which are essential for USFF to our „Ph.R.J.” however it is not necessary if the author is able to create his own website.
The websites of USFF can coalesce. All the net of USFF can be realized.
We expect concepts and remarks about possible ways of the public, not virtual, more real and „conventional”: - ) utilization of emerging USFF.
We believe in the future of USFF. We understand rules of „market economics”. Therefore we know that the idea of USFF needs „high-tech" or „dot.com” investors.

Four mysteries stimulating science.
The letter from Andrzej Brodziak ( http://salve.slam.katowice.pl/phenomen.hml )
Somebody wrote recently ( Peter Waldman - The Wall Street Journal-Europe-03.I.2000 ) that four mysteries, since centuries, stimulate science but perhaps will never be solved.
These mysteries are:
1. Why and how the Universe occurred ?
2. How the life occurred ?
3. What is consciousness and how to reproduce it ?
4. Is it possible to prevent next wars ?
It seems to me that really, the conventional science is not able to answer these questions. What means the term " conventional science " ? It is the activity to measure some parameters of the reality and report results of the performed experiment.
The understanding of the world require actions and applications of the "new science" ( what is the notion equivalent to the term "new physics" ).
"New science" it is not an empty term, because it require an new attitude, which is now not liked ."New science" require joint consideration of facts, data,( "measurements") with philosophy and even religious concepts. It require taking into account any concept of human activity, encompassing new art achievements ( like s-f novels and poetry ) and old also human believes and prejudices. Conventional science is: proud, conceited, pretended to instruct and understanding of phenomena, which it is not able to comprehend. For instance, when a scientist rejects religious concepts, he cannot pretent to estimate considerations about these kind of concepts.
"New science" emerges. It cannot trust in itself, because it should try to adjust many points of view, many "sides". Its conclusions ( picture, mental image of the world ) doesn't arise not only from "measurements", but mainly from adjustments. Anybody who try to adjust many point of view cannot hit one's mark, cannot guess right.
Anyhow, the presented concept of "new science" should be exemplified. Therefore , I quote bellow some fragments of the Matti Pitkanen ' s file, accessible under : http://bues.helsinki.fi/~matpitka/newcbook.html . He presents ( in my opinion ) the "better" ( more effective ) word picture than Frank Tipler. Its outlook of the world dosn't require the closed Universe.
I believe in the future of "new science". Therefore I add some my comments to Matti Pitkanen conclusions. I hope that it will be interesting to the participants of your NG discussion, scientific club.
[ # 1, Matti8 Pittkanen: The most recent work related to the book 'TGD inspired theory of consciousness with applications to biosystems, see : http://blues.helsinki.fi/~matpitka/newcbook.html this is an Brain is a macroscopic quantum system: experimental fact! I have been perfoming a complete updating of "TGD inspired theory of consciousness...". ]
[ # 2-M.P.-...Very briefly: ELF em fields with or modulated by frequencies, which are odd multiples of cyclotron frequencies of various neurologically important ions in Earth's magnetic field, have unexpected effects on living matter. The only sensical interpretation is that bound states of ions in Earth's magnetic field ..., which is the magnetic length associated Earth's magnetic field, exist!... ]
[ # 3-M.P.- If ions drop from atomic spacetime sheets to cellular spacetime sheets, where there is very cold, very dry and very silent, they can form quantum states of macroscopic size. Also ionic super conductors are possible. The odd multiples of cyclotron frequencies of neurologically important ions correspond to important EEG frequencies. For instance, 13 Hz, 39 Hz and 65 Hz correspond to odd multiples of Na_+ cyclotron frequency and threshold for beta activity, 40 Hz thalamo-cortical resonance frequency and 65 Hz to the average EEG frequency during REM sleep. ... Really impressive! Mind quantized and quantified in terms of various magnetic transition frequencies and Schumann frequencies!... ]
[A.B.-comment, see bellow : * 1 ]
[# 4-M.P.-... The dynamical correlate for the hierarchy of selves is master-slave hierarchy of Josephson currents which modulate the Josephson currents at the lower levels of hierarchy. Josephson current serves effectively as a harmonic perturbation for both coupled superconductors. When Josephson frequency, which equals to the potential difference over the Josephson junction, equals to magnetic transition frequency, resonance occurs classically. Quantum mechanically this means that the harmonic perturbation caused by the Josephson current can induce quantum jumps and can thus 'wake-up' subself. To wake-up subself (to stir a mental image), stimulate it with its resonance frequency. This is achieved by tuning the Josephson frequency of some ionic current to cyclotron frequency: this is the rule which every quantum boss must know.... ]
[A.B.-comment, see bellow : * 2 ]
[ # 5 -M.P.-... a) The model of cognition relies on the motion of 'memetic code' which is an outcome of an extremely simple model for abstraction process which I discovered for ten years ago. The model explains the basic numbers of genetic code and predicts infinite hierarchy of 'genetic codes': memetic code is the next level of the hierarchy after genes: we realize this level by talking and writing and thinking.... An interesting suggestion is that the phonemes of our language could correspond directly to memetic codons. Memetic codons consist of 126 bits represented by temporal sequences of cognitive neutrino pairs such that spin direction of antineutrino represents binary digit....]
# 6 - M.P.- ...The most fascinating outcome, which I had actually anticipated already before this breakthough, was the unavoidable conclusion that our subselves (mental images) correspond to the topological field quanta of ELF em fields associated with EEG frequencies, which by Uncertainty Principle have size of order Earth's circumference! Our physical body is only a dip of an iceberg, we are much, MUCH more than our neurons. Indians were not the only ones believing that our forefathers live as spirits amongst us. What I can add to this is that these spirits could have as physical correlates topological field quanta of ELF em fields and might be perhaps called ELF selves (or ELVes perhaps?).... ]
[ # 7 - M.P.- Before the breakthrough brought by magnetic transition frequency
connection I tried to understand how manysheeted spacetime concept might help to
understand the physical realization of the genetic code and ended up with the notion of
manysheeted DNA.
.... Putting it very naively, gene represents the manysheeted expression domain of the
gene compressed to a thread which decompresses back to its original size during
morphogenesis.
b) Manysheeted DNA also leads to a rather precise realization for the metaphor of
genetic program and provides new insights to the problem of 'junk DNA'. Introns are in an
essentially same role as comment signed sections in computer code: comment sign is
realized as direction of cognitive antineutrino spin ....c) The possibility to change the
direction of the spontaneous magnetization brings in extreme flexibility: given gene can
code a huge number of different proteins and the expressive power of genome explodes
exponentially. In fact, we would not survive unless the DNA of our immune system were not
dynamical. The model explains also why introns are present only in eukaryotic genome.
d) Most importantly, it seems that the statements represented by the dynamical intron-exon
decompositions of genes and defining Boolean algebra, could represent our conscious
beliefs and thus affect our behaviour as conscious beings. Notice the beautiful connection
between matter and mind: genes code the information, not only about the material structure
of organism, but also about its belief system. Thus without introns, the pariah class in
the society of biomolecules christened as 'junk DNA' by always-so-imaginative
reductionistic materialists, we would have no worldviews and belief systems! For more
details see the chapter "Manysheeted DNA" of "TGD inspired theory
of consciousness...". ]
[ # 8-M.P. -... Jaynes's 'Gods' live in right brain hemisphere of bicameral man: in TGD 'Gods' are real and correspond to higher levels of the self hierarchy. .. ]
[ A.B.-comment, see bellow : * 3 ]
[ # 9- M.P.- TGD version about the cosmology of human consciousness relies on the notion of semi-trance. During semitrance parts brain entangle with some higher level, say the self associated with the social group, and are in trance and therefore unconscious. The remaining parts of brain are however conscious and receive communications from the collective consciousness via the entangled region of brain as sensory hallucinations, emotions and thoughts. Semitrance is absolutely essential for self narrative and establishment of long term goals: without semitrance our consciousness would consist of memory fragments lasting only few seconds. Higher level selves tell us where we come from and were we are going....
Evolution of civilization can be seen as gradual transformation of the profile of semitrance from sensory 'hallucinations' to thoughts and emotions communicated to us by higher level selves via left and right hemisphere semitrance. Elves, spirits, gods and demons has transformed gradually to Platonic ideas and emotions. Semitrance mechanism provides a new vision about mentall illness and altered states of consciousness....
Semitrance mechanism provides an extremely general communication mechanism between the levels of the self hierarchy and could explain why antnests, beehives, flocks of birds, packs of wolfes, cell societies, nuclei of brain, etc.. can behave as single organism and still consist of apparently randomly behaving individuals... ]

[A.B.-comment, see bellow : * 4 ]
[# 10 - M.P.- ... This hypothesis would generalize the earlier hypothesis about the symbiosis of electromagnetic life in Earth length scale ('spirit') and biological life ('flesh'). ...]
[# 11 -M.P,- ... Absolute minimization of Kähler action, and therefore, maximization of cognitive information resources, is achieved by generating Kähler electric fields. The most important practical consequence is what might turn out to be E=mc^2 formula of consciousness theory: in order to build intelligent, living systems one must generate strong electric fields. Various biostructures, in particular living cell membranes, are indeed characterized by huge electric fields. For details see the chapter Information theoretic aspects of TGD inspired theory of consciousness (ps) of 'TGD inspired theory of consciousness...'. ]
[ # 12 -M.P.-.. d) Summation hypothesis for the binding of experiences. ..... An immediate prediction is an infinite hierarchy of selves, with God, the entire universe, at the top. A connection with the computationalistic theories of brain emerges naturally: cognitive acts are hierarchical temporal cascades of selves (self wakes up, then some subselves wake up, etc....) forming program like structures. Subselves provide symbolic representations for the objects of sensory experience... ]
[ # 13 -M.P.- ...Binding of experiencers by entanglement making possible enlightment by entanglement. Geometrically this corresponds to the formation of join along boundaries bonds between the cognitive spacetime sheets of two selves belonging to two different levels in the p-adic hierarchy of selves. This makes also possible communication between various levels of the self hierarchy and provides a general model for extended states of consciousness. ..]
[# 14 -M.P.- ...In TGD the time orientation of a spacetime sheet can be also negative.
Spacetime sheets with negative time orientation make possible propagation of classical
signals from geometric future to geometric past. Since energy current corresponds to a
vector field rather than tensor in TGD , the sign of the energy density is negative for
these spacetime sheets. In particular, so called "massless extremals" can have
negative time orientation. There are several quite science fictive sounding applications.
a) "Real subjective time" communication in four-dimensional society: members of
the cultures separated by billions of light years can have real time chat about their
family problems!
b)Production of energy from vacuum (buy now, pay later!).
c) Generation of negative energy "massless extremals" means also generation of
large momentum (E=P). The mysterious ability of biosystems to generate coherent motions
voliotionally could have explanation in terms of the generation of cognitive spacetime
sheets which are negative energy massless extremals. The momentum for the cognitive
spacetime sheet, "thought" about motion, is opposite to the momentum of actual
motion!
d) Needless to emphasize, the possibility of the four-dimensional real time communication
would mean that human kind is at the verge of the most thorough going revolution it has
ever experienced...and most importantly, there is some astrophysical evidence for the
propagation of signals backwards in time!
See the chapters "Time and consciousness", "Biosystems as macroscopic
quantum systems" and "Quantum antenna hypothesis" of TGD
inspired theory of consciousness... . ...]

Now, my [ A.B.] comments:
[*1 - A.B.- The W.O. Schumann ' s resonance exists as the result of frequent ,"statistically- permanent" lightening in different regions of our planet. The lightening loads the capacitor, which exists between the surface of the planet and the ionosphere. The "length parameters" of the planet ( Earth's circumference) and electrostatic laws determines the power spectrum of Schumann's resonance frequencies. Well ! The Schumann resonance acts since millions of years. It influenced , certainly, the evolution of the nervous systems of animals and people. It is reasonably to assume that convergence of: (a) EEG predominating frequencies and (2) " the power spectrum of Schumann's resonance frequencies" is related by a cause-effect rule. Matti Pitkanen suggests that this resonance is important for thinking,. I believe in it also. I wrote all the book about it ( accessible -unfortunaely in Polish only- under: http://salve.slam.katowice.pl/KSISTORM.htm ) However very interesting questions arise : {1} American cosmonauts going to the Moon didn't experienced disturbances of mental activities. , {2 } In relation to Matti Pitkanen ' s statement, that: - > " Semitrance is absolutely essential for self narrative and establishment of long term goals: without semitrance our consciousness would consist of memory fragments lasting only few seconds", - > I would like to say that we w should realize that apart of "basic "Schumann resonance, so caled "excesses of it resonance exist". The power density of 7.4 Hz component of the Schumann resonance , from time to time, in the frequency of 0.3/min augment the amplitude by the factor of 80 times. The geomagnetic field, in such a moment, is measured in the range of 25 pT. The frequencies of the excesses change during the day, during the seasons, according to the geographical latitude. It stimulated me to the proposal of the hypothesis that "vivid conceptual, philosophical, religious disputes, contestations and even fights occurred in the history on our planet much more frequently in the region of geographical latitudes of 30 (+,-) 10 -degrees. The details of this hypothesis are accessible under :
http://salve.slam.katowice.pl/Dejavu.htm and http://http://www.angelfire.com/ab2/abrodziak/coronal.html
Therefore, the next task for "new science thinker and experimentalists is is the trial to answer to question: What the Shumann resonance excesses change in human thinking. My preliminary idea is that probably these excesses cause some changes of the internal thinking (dialogue) which was described superbly by James Joyce in his novel sub title "Ulysses". ]
[*2 -A.B.- Recent neuro- physiological experiments , using PET and NMR imaging prove that during the particular cognitive task the particular region of the brain is aroused. Yes, to "wake-up ( to stir a mental image )" - > apart of quantum mechanisms, - > the neural circuit, which constitutes the shell for particular "mental image" should be determined. As I wrote many times, the equilibrating-memorizing-recalling circuit ( equimerec ) can serve as a working model of such a shell. This basic unit , necessary for the recalling of any mental image is described in my paper sub title : "The unit of neural networks modeling recall of mental images by oscillations of feedback loops caused by change of set-point signal", accessible also under: http://salve.slam.katowice.pl/phenomen.html .....................................]
[ *3 -A.B.- The world picture ( imagination , model, outlook of the world ) should arise by adjustment of facts and reasonable theories based on facts. Revelations are not sufficient. Science restricted only to relations about some kind of measurements is also not sufficient to understand the word. The method of co-ordination of relevant disciplines, used by Matti Pitkanen seems fruitful. His 'very physical' statements and remarks about the nature of 'Gods' and God enable further progress in the trial of understanding ( ordering ) of the spiritual and material reality.
He helps to assimilate and adjust very contradictory attitudes of atheists, people believing in different religious doctrines and scientists being in different relations to spiritual matters.
The reasoning leading to the trial of coordination of these attitudes could be as follow:
1. The visible Universe is enormous ( billions of galaxies and milliards of stars and
planets in any galaxy ).
2. Occurrence of life, of consciousness ( of self- awareness) and of intelligent civilizations
happened by "cosmic necessity" ( it is obvious ! however I have presented the detailed
consideration on it, in the text sub title "Cosmic necessity" , accessible under:
http://salve.slam.katowice.pl/cosmic.htm
3. The creating power can be conceived as intelligent and conscious. Some people
would prefer to name this animating forces as Holy Spirit. Some people are able to
imagine such a "power" in form of a Person only and prefer to name it as
superior, ultimate , " highest" God. My considerations about slight :-) differences
between "rules of self- organizations" are accessible in the text sub title: "Holy
Spirit and the God occurring periodically" under:
http://salve.slam.katowice.pl/Dejanews.htm
4. After the physical, chemical and biological evolution, managed by " self-
organizations forces", the species Homo sapiens sapiens occurred, about 200 000
years ago. It happened by "cosmic necessity" and it was caused by superior,
ultimate creating power.
5. About 2 - 5 thousand years ago, the explanation related to God was formulated in
a written form. It the Middle East three main religion mention superior,
ultimate creating power ( God ). Millions of faithful people consider these
formulation vividly. Millions of people profess another religions in other
region of our planet. Some of them , like in Hindu religions, are more "polytheistic".
Buddhist concepts relate more directly to creating power and self-regulating rules
like Karma. According to Matti Pitkanen ' s theory these vivid considerations of
some kind of the religious concept rise real 'Gods', which are, after, the
"higher levels of self hierarchy"
6. Universal inclination of people to faith into some kinds of 'Gods', God or creating
powers seems to be build into the nature of man. Neurological findings support
existence of so called "religious module of the brain" ( see ...). This
neuro -physiological feature of the human brain, of course, occurred also by
"cosmic necessity"..., anyhow as result of action of superior creative forces.
7.The human brain is "prepared " to build and perceive the Pitkanen's "higher levels
of self hierarchy" ! It enables the rise these "higher selfs". It is in accordance with
my former considerations sub title : " #Super beings from other worlds or multi - sheeted time space or as results of "working configuration space", accessible under:
http://salve.slam.katowice.pl/Phoenix.htm
8. Because Pitkanen writes about " an immediate prediction of infinite hierarchy of
selves, with God , the entire universe, at the top", the question is imposed about the
relation of human selfs, intermediary higher level selfs and the Ultimate Self. One
possibility is that these selfs are "ordered in time", it means that they occur in a
cycle , going through the phase of the vacuum, as I proposed in the text sub title
:"Clever vacuum", accessible under: http://salve.slam.katowice.pl/cosmic.htm ]
[ *4 -A.B.- Yes, future psychiatrists probably will be obliged , in some particular cases, [ like F23, F24, f44.3 -according to International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Health Related Problems- Tenth Revision ] - > apart of the prescription of anti- hallucinogenic drugs [ like Rispolept ] - > to consider the surrounding and habits of the patients to detect possible, particular entanglements , which make his patient "crazy"
Another my remark, as a physician is that widespread, almost endemic frustration of contemporary people in modern societies can be caused by lack of the possibility to entanglement with "strong morphic fields ( resonance ) in the Rupert Sheldrake sense" ( see http://www.physics.helsinki.fi/~matpitka/sheld.html ). The "coherence of human thinking" , evoking 'morphic field' can be, from ethical point of view, both positive or negative ( remember nazism , communism ), but emotionally it 'energetize' feelings. The trial to decohere the strong 'morphic field' energetize people also. It was the feeling of people who made decoherence of thinking in communist countries. The 'energetic' activities concern now elite groups only. It seems that TV and Internet don't cohere human thinking enough. Organizations promoting health should conceive ways for "entanglements" for people on retreat and for some other group of society ]

2. The text related to so called „religious module of the brain".
Fragment of the letter sent to "sci.physics".
[ A.B.- Sending this letter, we are aiming to stimulate serious research on the subject of "religious module of the brain" - as a key notion of USFF . We present some arguments below.
Our former published investigations and considerations lead to the conclusion that the social, general agreement, low level of aggressivity and even prevention of next religious and nationalistic wars depends from the mean level of the insight, possessed by people in a examined population. The abstracts of our international discussion are accessible under:
http://salve.slam.katowice.pl/PhoenixA.html
http://salve.slam.katowice.pl/Dejanews.htm
http://salve.slam.katowice.pl/Dejavu.htm
In other words the citizens of a country, on average can posses or not the knowledge, the theoretical model of the psyche. When the subject of psychology doesn’t exist in the program of secondary schools, in a considered region the danger of next religious or nationalistic war is high.
The inclination to the fundamentalist way of thinking depends also from the regard towards the syncretism. When the prevalent habit of thinking about religious topics is very emotional and assume that only one ideological model can be true the contestations are usually impetuous.
The trials of the practical regard of these known psychological phenomena should take into account the existence of so called “religious module” of the brain. The elementary data about so called “temporal lobe syndrome” or David Beard’s notion of “warm schizophrenia” can be found in the Eric R.Kandel’s fundamental work: “Principles of neural science”( p.10-11). The interesting aspect of the “religious module of the brain” was touched recently by Edward J.Larson and Larry Witham in the article sub title “Scientist and the religion”, published in Scientific American on September 1999.
The investigation of the activity of the neural structures responsible for the attitude towards philosophy and religion in extremely important also by very practical reasons.
The investigation of the religious module of the brain should be cross-national and interdisciplinary.
First, the appropriate questionnaire should be found or elaborated and proposed. The pilot poll of populations should be performed using this accepted questionnaire.
Some neurological and psychiatry departments in many countries could look for patients with the temporal lobe syndrome and investigate them.
Of course, its means patients treated randomly and admitted to hospitals by normal usual reasons. The neurologist and psychiatrists could use the detailed interview, using more sophisticated questionnaire. Also the typology of personality type using so called Enneagram system would be useful. Some other psychological test could be performed also. The EEG long-term recording probably would contribute to the problem also.
The authors of this proposal in a contemporary step of the development of the idea are interested mainly about the realization of the cross-national poll of populations on the basis of a short coordinated multi-lingual questionnaire.
