Notes & first reference to 'T/E' in ch. six

           Up before light, breakfast and the paper. Lunch at China City Buffet today with Rich G. Later, out running errands with Carol then mowing the rest of the yard and spending time cleaning up the mower and engine/filter because of the dust, now almost time for supper.

Yesterday a former student, Natalie Hinkel., working on her doctorate in astrophysics at Arizona, sent you the following on Facebook as a response to the question below her response:

Natalie Hinkel.: “Hey Mr. O - so it seems like you are putting together the physics of light (which deals with radiation) and quantum mechanics (which looks at matter). however, with QM, the matter is seen to have both particle- and wave-like behavior. for example, the Heisenberg principle states that you cannot know the exact position and the exact momentum of a quantum particle at the same time. but i think that while original concepts could not be particles in and of themselves (because they do not interact with anything other than themselves), it's a great metaphor.”

Your question is as follows: “Could it be possible that 'original' concepts (Platonic-like Forms) are as elementary particles (either multi-dimensional 'waves' or 'point particles')? That these concepts are quantum in nature and subject to 'entanglement'? I keep wanting to connect 'thought concepts' and mind "energy?" to the physics of light. Your thoughts may be helpful. Thank you, rho.”

         Natalie thinks original concepts could not be particles because there is no interaction it could still be useful, you are hoping that if you could show concepts as point particles but we can go with wave-like behavior and leave the particle aspect alone letting the reader speculate the possible connection with point particles. You think ‘thought/entanglement’ allows for a broad brush for communications just as Asimov came up with hyperspace to allow people to cross vast tracks of space within the Foundation’s galactic empire.

        

         You are afraid someone else will use the concept before book four is published but unless someone can show proof sheorhe thought up and used the concept in a published story first – well, I don’t know what the legalities are. – Amorella

        

         I don’t care in the general sense. Most everyone into science fiction knows Asimov coined the word, hyperspace. I just want a fair shake on the originality of thought/entanglement of the stories. I’m not after a monetary reward here. Some day some may find they enjoy these books, that’s all, and I want to make sure you and I get the credit for writing them and those who helped also get some credit, that’s all. I'll check through Google tonight and see if someone already has coined the term, if so, then I'll have to conjure up some other communication 'system'. 

         You have made the copyright credit clear on the left side margin of the blog. Don’t worry about it. Besides, you have witnesses, readers.

         I need to establish how this concept of thought/entanglement communication among the Dead works in this chapter six, and it needs to work for the marsupial humanoids also, for their Living and Dead.

         I will work it in orndorff. > You found the words "thought entanglement" used in a definition of telepathy but no reference to a system of communication among the Dead. All for tonight. Post. – Amorella.
