Processes of Science and Art Modeled as a Holoflux of Information Using Toroidal Geometry

Abstract

An attempt is made to model the structure of science and art discovery processes in the light of currently defined ideas on the societal flow of knowledge and conservation of information, using the versatile physical concept of toroidal geometry. This should be seen as a heuristic model that is open for further development and evolution. The scientific process, has been often described as a iterative and/or recurrent process. Current models explain the generation of new knowledge on the basis of a number of sequential steps (activities) operating in a circular mode. This model intrinsically assumes this process to be congruent for all individual scientific efforts. Yet, such a model is obviously inadequate to fully describe the whole integral process of scientific discovery as an ongoing interactive process, performed in a cumulative fashion. This implies that any new cycle starts from a different perspective or, optimistically seen, is initiated from a higher level, in a spiral mode, that takes into account the ongoing rise of scientific perspectives. Also, any model that attempts to picture the scientific process, should include potential interactions of concepts or hypotheses, in the sense that concurrently developed concepts may (mutually) influence each other and even may be mixed or superposed or, alternatively, may even result in concept extinction. Science and art progression, both seen as an individual effort and as a historically-based flow of events, is inherently a non-linear or even sometimes a chaotic process, where quite suddenly arising visions can cast a very different light on main-stream scientific thought and/or seem to remove existing barriers in more traditional "habits of the mind". In contrast to the rather gradual evolution of science, the history of art sometimes even shows complete rejection of preceding conceptualizations and styles. The dynamics of cognition and perception are fruitfully suggested by the rotational dynamics of a torus as a basis for its "self-reflexive" property. Also, the torus exhibits contraction/relaxation loops,

Astrogenesis and Consciousness: The Role of Consciousness in the Evolution of Life

“…Universal consciousness is the summation or aggregate of all consciousnesses in the superstructures, megastructures, and structures in the Universe, such as galaxies, solar systems, planets, and others. Thus, the Universe is a conscious entity or system (Meijer, 2012(Meijer, , 2018. Universal consciousness varies from one universe to the other.…”

Life and Consciousness are Guided by a Semi-Harmonic EM Background Field

“…Finally, we want to stress that the dynamics of the biophysical processes at stake: harmonics/ music, entanglement, superconductor conditions and elementary particles (knot theory), all can be modeled by toroidal geometry (Amiot, 2013;Meijer and Geesink, 2016;Meijer, 2018), as shown in many other related studies. We consider the torus as a versatile space-time operator for the handling and integration of information fluxes, in which the physical information is projected in a holographic manner in a 3-D/4-D context and the syntrophic life information is projected in a scattering event horizon.…”

“…The above treated aspects of a potential field-receptive workspace, as a guiding realm in life processes, may point back to the well-known implicate order of David Bohm, of which we may have identified some of the EM frequencies as a recipe for life. These studies are part of the ongoing research into the crucial role of information in the creation of the architecture of reality (Meijer, 2014;2015;Meijer and Raggett, 2014) and have also been discussed in science philosophical context (Meijer, 2018) and in relation to the existence of a universal consciousness (Meijer, 2019). In brackets (nr.…”

“…The latter aspect, obviously, raises the critical question: how can current science neglect the phenomenon of consciousness being the very basis for performing science and write about it ? (Meijer, 2018).…”
