Section 53 (first updated 02.24.2021) Atoms “mini” Minds Atoms can be thought of as “mini minds,” not in a psychological sense, but in a structural and relational one. In the materialist tradition, atoms were defined as indivisible spheres. This image persists not because atoms are literally tiny solid balls, but because they represent something indivisible …
Section 43 (first updated 2.12.2021) Supersymmetry Supersymmetry is the idea that there exists a symmetry between fermions (matter particles) and bosons (force-carrying particles). This symmetry suggests that for every known particle, there exists a corresponding “superpartner” whose energy is not dispersed but instead concentrated in a correlated, massive state. This idea is closely related to …
Section 44 (first updated 2.14.2021) Motion as Generation Motion is generation. Motion is not merely a change of position in space but the coming-to-be of determination itself. A sphere in a vacuum is the clearest illustration of this point. If a perfectly symmetrical sphere exists in a vacuum with no other object relative to it, …
Section 53 (first updated 2.14.2021) The Atom as Void: The Void of Non-Void “The atom as void is the void of non-void—nothing as something.”—Alan Watts¹ To speak of the atom as void is not to deny void, but to dissolve the opposition between atom and void altogether. The phrase “the void of voidness” means precisely …
Section 46 (first updated 2.15.2021) Schwarzschild radius non-rotation The Schwarzschild radius is the distance from the center of mass to the boundary known as the event horizon of a non-rotating black hole. This boundary is not a physical surface, but a mathematical one: a spherical region in spacetime beyond which escape becomes impossible. When an object with mass crosses this …
Section 51 First update 1.23.2026 Materialist Ontology Against the Awakening of Thought Materialist ontology is implanted in the minds of common thinkers—who are, at first, all people. Later, when some become enlightened, they begin to question the ontology they were given at birth. They start to realize that the world as they understand it and …
Section 50 (first updated 02.17.2021) Event-Particles, Parallel Durations, and Time-Systems The recognition of an indefinite multiplicity of parallel durations is fundamental to a proper understanding of nature. Each duration constitutes a distinct time-system, composed of instantaneous spaces—moments of zero temporal thickness. These moments are not extended durations but ideal limits, “roots of immediate approximations,” through …
Section 49 (first updated 02.17.2021) On Black Holes, Infinity, and the Center of the Universe The claim that a black hole is the “centre of the universe” requires careful clarification. Modern science remains implicitly bound to an ancient assumption: that the universe possesses a shape, and that possessing a shape necessarily implies finitude. The notion …
Section 50 (first updated 02.18.2021) Point in Space as Moment in Time A point in space is the same as a moment in time. Time being one-dimensional means that it is infinite. This is mathematically true insofar as the number one is implied by every other number, regardless of magnitude. Numbers, on this view, are …
Section 51 (first update 02.19.2021) Atoms as bare Quantities Modern science conceives of atoms as bare quantities by which the composition of qualities becomes measurable. This is why there are many kinds of atoms—hydrogen, helium, and so forth—all of which are atoms, yet differentiated by their complexity and by the roles they play in characterizing …
