Sometimes, you know, I come to write these posts wondering if it's worth it, whether my thoughts have any value in the great scheme of things, and how much might or might not come of my efforts to contribute to the way things are. Do you feel like that too, about the things you do in life? Do you wonder if it's worth it in the end?

Last time, it was about Syntropy (please check out the DotOrg version as it earned itself way more likes!), having got rather excited about a principle that vied with Entropy as an absolute. You know me, ever looking for a boot to put into a Constraint.

Syntropy covered all bases (not letting those clocks get the better of us), and struck a few blinders at the same time, like allowing us a future we can value in safety. If we can't extrapolate the principles of physics to the human condition, what's the point of understanding them? The thing about physics, its devotees and its woo, is that once you've got a physical system bending to the will of quantum laws, you've got a system poking through the brane of metaphysics, and that's something even Einstein had to swallow in the end.

When, exactly, do we run out of time? If there should be a deadline, there'll be other things to do if it's not met. Unless of course we actually die, in which case it's a bit final (at least from the physical point of view). Meanwhile, on the subject of value, how's that balance coming along?
"What balance?"
The one you're striving for, the work-life balance, the balance of power, equality in the relationship?
"What's physics got to do with relationships?"
Oh boy. Had I the time.....

Well, right now it's coming up to five in the morning and I got out of bed specially to do this, with the first line in my head and an insistence pressing in from somewhere else that the rest will take care of itself. All I have to do is show up.

There's no getting away from it, balance holds sway over pretty much everything, even Nature. Take 'spin' - you don't have a particle spinning one way without another spinning in the opposite direction, probably its anti-particle, which would put them in the same place at the same time. What about CP violation? Depends how you look at it. QCD doesn't suffer from any violation problems but that could be due to the chromodynamic part, surely, just as looking at chromosomes led to the belief that 95% of our DNA was 'junk'. The lovely thing about this particular problem is the absence of regard to the oscillation factor. "The reason why such a complex phase causes CP violation is not immediately obvious," but hey, you've got sets of three to deal with here. Three generations of quarks, three flavours of neutrino. And there's your relationship - the sedentary quark and the flying neutrino, oscillating together, and don't even get me started on leptons.

The yin-yang of physics, epitomised by SUSY, anticipating the next generation of thought-waves to come along and break it, leaves a lot to the imagination. Which is where it all came from in the first place - no Nobel without an idea. The wonderful thing about Time is that it travels in both directions at once, so it shouldn't be hard to let go of What Was in catching the What's To Be which becomes What Was faster than you can swing a bat......

There's value in thinking, isn't there, when the thoughts are positively contributing to something positive. Not that I'm ever going to appeal to the Positivist, at all, in the slightest, nor would want to. Loving the tricks of the light does demand some appreciation of the dark, and I know that plenty of people out there with technical, scientific minds are stretching the boundary constraints because let's face it, we can't help what's happening to the world out there unless we do something drastic from within ourselves. Violation is out there. What better place to start?

Language is a powerful thing, our use of it exercised in all manner of ways to convey authority, illustrate relative meaning, and sometimes to confuse the issue. So when I stumbled across Antonella Vannini's essay on Syntropy, I was excited to read something from a scientist that engaged a lot of common sense. He wanted to relate the properties of wave solutions to the mechanics of living systems, and being a student of cognitive psychology, his understanding of physics managed to avoid equations while still being applied logically to his argument-at-hand.

There's just one equation in his essay, for illustrative purposes. This one:

E2 = c2p2 + m2c4  
in which you'll have to imagine the numbers being placed higher than the letters as I can't replicate that here.

Luigi Fantappie in 1941 changed his entire world-view when presented with the implications of Advanced wave potentials intersecting the time variance of present events. He noted that retarded waves govern the law of entropy, well-known and accepted in the continuum of universal evolution, but that advanced waves also must, by default, play a part via the symmetrical system-variant he came to call 'Syntropy'. In language, there's always room for a new word. And when one comes about, we are drawn to inevitable conclusions as to relativity in its subscription. For some, like myself, it's pretty impossible to ignore a correlation between 'syntropy' and 'synchrony', from which we might extrapolate further towards 'synchronicity', and possibly deduce that the avalanche of evidence we see in daily life for there being such a thing as 'synchronicity' is probably related to Syntropy, by virtue of its entering our world-line from a position of prognostication.

Being (unashamedly) all for any scientific endeavour that bridges the quantum field with the human matrix, it was found refreshing that the anticipated potentials of the wave equation (incurring the duality between Advanced and Retarded forms) could be interpreting a wide range of solutions fundamental to the laws of the Universe. For I've long held that Entropy isn't the answer to everything, and that the speed-of-light constant is no magical barrier beyond which nothing in Nature can pass.

Far from it, it seems to me, for only humans build one-way streets into the order of their worlds. Nature insists on two-way streets and symmetry positively relies on them. SUSY took it all a step too far. Sometimes we're not as smart, or as authoritative, as we like to think we are.

Schroedinger relied on forward motion of time (Retarded potentials only) in determining his wave equation, but the d'Alambert operator yields a dual-wave equation which cancels out the need for hidden variables (Bells' Theorem) and allows living systems the quality of absorption in their time-frame, which makes sense not only of concentrated solutions, but of the tendency we have to respond to emitted stimuli, absorb that information, and emit a response correspondingly. We don't choose the stimuli to which we need to respond, but we choose (as far as personality will permit) how to respond to it, and therefore what we emit, which others in turn have the opportunity to respond to, in the never-ending cycles of cause and effect.

This seems to me, in the fullness of interpretation, to be a major turning point in the way we view the Universe and our placement within it. For to accept the cancellation of speed-of-light mechanics in any (or all) non-local events is to effectively open the portal to acceptance of what's yet to be as equally valid in our tests of circumstance as what has gone before, and when we no longer rely entirely on what's gone before as a benchmark of What Is, this leaves us free to engage imaginatively with the conundrums at our disposal. And to elevate our acceptance to the point beyond positivist thinking, wherein the colour of magic and the hues of intuition are free to paint pictures as they were painted when quantum mechanics first came to light for Einstein, Schroedinger, Planck and the rest, all of whom relied on the depths of their metaphysical selves to elucidate the possible variables inherent in the quantum world, bringing to life a whole new platform of thought for those who came after, including Maxwell and Feynman, to build upon further in the creation of the world-view we tend to hold today. But there's more, much more. A new breed of scientist waits to cross the invisible bridge, and you might be one of them. I hope you are. I hope you blaze a trail for the new-paradigm language waiting to be born, for it's time now. Time is a luxury we may not always have.
