All theories aim for beauty, parsimony and elegance assuming of course that the universe is constructed in such a way. Although at times it may not seem like it, evidence consistently shows a tendency toward novelty and some kind of gradual progress in many domains at once. This progress is much like evolution but on … Continue reading Theory of Everything as the Ultimate Art, or The Ultimate Art as a Theory of Everything

TOE, what is the meaning of life etc. A general discussion of TOE preparatory to deeper discussions which sometimes occur in the same sentence, so be ready.

Consciousness and the Measurement Problem, part. 1
Meaning is a state of consciousness and consciousness is what gives life and thus matter=energy (the stuff that keeps us alive), meaning. There is no upper limit to how much consciousness a physical system can have, or the number of entangled particles within that system (limited only by the number of particles). Therefore it is conceivable that the entire universe is entangled in a conscious system “only the inanimate universe and living bodies are observers” (Kastrup 109:2019).
