Good day! Per our recent conversation regarding Holophrens as systems, I seek to add to your thinking about this topic. While every holophren is a system (aka: integrated elements for a function or purpose), holophren embodiment design (HED) often includes other internal or external/ambient systems, which may also be holophrens. For example, systems may "nested" be within the 13 distinct areas of a holophren, or one or more holophren may be within other systems, some of whic

DM Reflecting on our prior conversations regarding gravity, you stated gravity has evidental "speed." How confident are you of that answer? I’ll research the current evidence on the speed of gravity so I can give you a calibrated confidence level rather than a reflexive one. Speed of gravity evidence Research complete. 285 sources 5m 55s I’m about 99% confident that gravitational waves, meaning changes in gravity, travel at the speed of light. My earlier answer went too far

Best to read Part 1 first DM Continuing to ponder this rambling concoction toward a destination. Please bear with me. Related to Pantakinetic origins, holophrens and IF#1, perhaps the paradigm of "cause and effect" should be disentangled from the paradigm of unidirectional paradigm of "time" (should this Gordian knot be inaccurate, a human-fabricated conclusion, constructed at a vanishing point)? Perhaps. And it’s further along than “perhaps” suggests: physics and philoso

Warning: this is an arduous trail; entailing long, steep and mind-challenging trekking, ...often traversing very unstable grounds; ... thus suitable only for those humble and holophrenically well-prepared. Carrying any unnecessary burdens of heavy hubris is NOT advised. Furthermore, this trek was blazed across many days, with many intervals of incubation and contemplation; hence it may best be "reflectively traveled" by others in a like manner. Fortunately, immediate resc

From creating oxygen to fertilizing the soil, leaves make possible human life on earth.

DM Good evening. Thinking about HED (Holophren Embodiment Design) this evening. Specifically, in the phenomena of metamorphosis, such as from caterpillar to butterfly. It's my understanding butterflies may possess memories from their caterpillar period of life (aka: knowledge curation). True? I also understand the metamorphosis stage is an amorphous "goo," (myth?), in which much or all is disassembled into a "bio-soup," then reassembled. True? Related, do you posit ther

Scientists believe there are planets outside our solar system where life is even more abundant and sustainable.

Cephalopods are masters of camouflage. Scientists want to decipher how the process works in the brain.

Should you have interest: a related brief Claude collaboration: DM Good day to you. As we have extensively discussed, the Universal Holophren is "substrate independent," while prevailing in wide variety of types of living and non-living entities, is so in discrete, compound, and fractal arrangement. A holophren can manifest in a distributed design (such as a in an oak tree, bee hive, business organization or immune system); or may manifest centralized manner (such as in our

Nova video episode. Brains might be the most complex structures on our planet—so how did evolution build them? To find out, rewind the clock three billion years to trace the evolutionary story of the dolphin, one of the smartest animals alive today. Discover how the first light sensing cells led to eyes that helped wire bodies to think, how a fluke viral infection supercharged the speed of thought, and how the neocortex emerged as early mammals re-wired their brains to attune
