Dimensions, Complexity, and the Nature of Consciousness

Discussing dimensions can often lead to confusion. Instead, it is more accurate to talk about levels of complexity. Each level represents a unique octave of consciousness and is integral to understanding the nature of existence.

Dimensions vs. Levels of Complexity

When scientists speak of dimensions, they often evoke theoretical constructs that are more conjecture than fact. Unlike the levels of complexity found in consciousness, dimensions may have a certain allure in their mathematical elegance, but they do not have the same empirical grounding. The supposed extra dimensions in physics, for instance, are theoretical escape mechanisms.

Theoretical Physics and Consciousness

In the realm of physics, the idea that mass can be fundamentally indefinable disrupts the natural progression of direct empirical evidence. This disparity leads to a fundamental loss of unity in physics equations from the very beginning of theoretical physics. Consequently, efforts to restore this unity involve adding artificial constructs, such as extra dimensions, into the equations.

Physicists who are content with the mathematical appearance of these constructs often rely on indirect empirical evidence to establish orthodoxy. However, these constructs cannot be directly empirically verified. This reliance on indirect evidence limits the accuracy and comprehensiveness of physical predictions and explanations.

Consciousness as a Fundamental Property

Consciousness, on the other hand, is not derived from physics. It is a software-like property that is intrinsic to the fundamental properties of the Universe. We often miss this fact because the prevailing philosophical approach in physics is to interpret the properties of the Universe in a mechanical framework. This framework, while mechanically useful, hides the true nature of the Universe that allowed for the emergence of intelligent life and the development of human free-will.

Theory in physics cannot predict or explain the existence of intelligent life nor its evolution, and this is a significant limitation. It is often argued that the nature of consciousness cannot be fully explained within the confines of mechanical physics. Consciousness transcends these mechanical interpretations and points to a more holistic understanding of the Universe.

Conclusion

Dimensions, while fascinating, are theoretical constructs that lack empirical support. Consciousness, however, is a fundamental property of the Universe that can be understood as a complex and layered phenomenon. By shifting focus from dimensions to levels of complexity, we can gain a deeper understanding of the nature of existence and the emerging consciousness within it.
