Breakfast and the paper. Last night before bed you were reading “The Hidden Reality” article on pages 32 and 33, by Brian Greene, in the June, 2011 issue of Discover.
Yes. I had to read it over two times to make sure I was getting the concepts, then, as I thought about it, it seems to be a way to show (in theoretical speculation) that the Dead and the Living have a common connection in the quantum alternate universe spectrum. I hesitate to copy so much of the short article here as a reminder to myself but it is an interesting concept of ‘surface information’ and I can’t help but think of those four peaks visually centered at Manchu Picchu – of the Inca reflecting on the peaks and coming to their own conscious conclusion but no reference on how their thinking might have reflected on the peaks (Mother Earth) herself (if she has a consciousness of sorts).
With this as an introduction, go ahead and place the reference within. These are working notes remember, and you are not publishing them. They are useful in your thinking. – Amorella.

“. . . The strangest version of all parallel universe proposals is one that emerged gradually over 30 years of theoretical studies on the quantum properties of black holes. The work culminated in the last decade, and it suggests, remarkably, that all we experience is nothing but a holographic projection of processes taking place on some distant surface that surrounds us. You can pinch yourself and what you feel will be real, but it mirrors a parallel process taking place in a different, distant reality.
Plato likened our view of the world to that of an ancient forebear watching shadows meander across a dimly lit cave wall. He imagined our perceptions to be but a faint inkling of a far richer reality that flickers beyond reach. Two millennia later, Plato’s cave may be more than a metaphor. To turn his suggestion on its head, reality—not is mere shadow – may take place on a distant boundary surface, while everything we witness in the three common spatial dimensions is a projection of that faraway unfolding. Reality, that is, may be akin to a hologram. Or, really, a holographic movie.
The journey to this peculiar possibility combines developments deep and far flung-insights from general relativity; from research on black holes; from thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, and, most recently, string theory. The thread liking these diverse areas is the nature of information in a quantum universe. . . .
Think of any region of space, such as the room in which you’re reading. Imagine that whatever happens in the region amounts to information processing information regarding how things are right now is transformed by the laws of physics into information regarding how they will be in a second or a minute or an hour. Since the physical processes we witness, as well as those by which we’re governed, seemingly take place with the region, it’s natural to expect that the information those processes carry is also found within the region. But for black holes, we’ve found that the link between information and surface area goes beyond mere numerical accounting; there’s a concrete sense in which information is stored on their surfaces. . . .Our three dimensional reality . . . would be likened to a holographic projection of those distant two-dimensional physical processes.
If this like of reasoning is correct, then there are physical processes taking place on some distant surface that, much as a puppeteer pulls the strings, are fully linked to the processes taking place in my fingers, arms, and brain as I type these words at my desk. Our experiences here and that distant reality there would form the most interlocked of parallel worlds. Phenomena in the two – I’ll call them Holographic Parallel Universes – would be so fully joined that their respective evolutions would be as connected as me and my shadow.”

When dealing with thought and light and consciousness the above can just as well be implied. Two-dimensional shadow and three dimensional reality can be readily seen. What happens then, in the book, when the Dead get the ‘sun’ they think they deserve, rather than just the light somehow ‘reflected’ from their collective minds? Let’s call that a question in exo-physics rather than metaphysics. When does the shadow lead the substance? Before you respond, think, I am the shadow, you are the substance. Perspective, boy, rattles. Post. – Amorella.
Mid-afternoon, and after working in the yard and trimming tree limbs you are down at the Carl Rae Park along the Little Miami watching the fast flowing river to your east and the old 3’C bridge up ahead beyond the semi-cleared picnic area. Usually three or four cars parked as today. Pleasant little state park for a Subway catered picnic.
We most always get a BMT nine-grain honey oat foot-long and split it, a bag of chips, three macadamia nut cookies and two soft drinks – used to be about ten dollars now it is twelve something with tax. (BMT’s used to be five dollars, now they are seven.) It is a good day though, almost a summer day rather than spring. The leaves are out filling a very refreshingly green canvas for birds and other small critters.
After twenty-two hundred hours and you want to watch the last hour’s “The Event”.
Perhaps you represent or personify my unconscious’ shadow. There is a way, in this fiction, to bring the Dead back, but, I think once they see the ‘sun’ over Elysium this will ‘change’ them in such a way that never again will they want to return to Earth. I think they will be ‘forced’ into the second rebellion in book six by events that have taken place on the marsupial humanoid’s ThreePlanets.
Where is this coming from?
There may be more to the plot of these six books than meets my eye. I am ready to start on scene seven. I am curious about this conversation between Mother and Grandfather. It is like all this is gear works, the physics, but I won’t know what the apparatus is until the books are finished. Maybe it is as a photograph, perhaps it is a timepiece. Then again, perhaps the plot is less, I mean, what am I other than mostly imagination? I’m done for the night.
