Does a whirlpool exist in the same way that a rock exists or that energy from the sun exists.  For something to exist it either has to have always existed, or there must have been a time prior to its existence.  Leaving for a moment the possibility that everything which exists today has always existed, let's consider that it came into being at some point, <b>Buy Soma Online Without Prescription</b>.  <b>Online buying Soma</b>, If something came into being, then not only must there have been a point in time prior to its existence, but there must have been a point after which it begins to exist.  These two points don't necessarily need to be the same.  If I make dinner -- a rare occasion to be sure -- then there is a period of time during which I'm in the process of making dinner.  Before that period started, my dinner did not exist.  After I fished making it, <b>order Soma no prescription</b>, my dinner existed.  We could argue over whether existence is therefore better understood as a continuum (does dinner exist while I'm in the process of making it?) but let's assume for a moment that it's not.  That dinner either exists or it doesn't.  Certainly it's the case that the rock I am sitting on right now either exists or it doesn't.  I'm going to assume the latter for now.</p>
<p>Let's talk about creation for a moment.  When we say that something was created we often times are implying that there was a creator of some sort.  Maybe not a human or deity, <b>Buy Soma from mexico</b>, but that there was an entity of some sort that had the intention of bringing that thing into existence.  Clearly there are things that get created that don't have an intentional creator.  Take for example an oil spill or a planet.</p>
<p>So to recap, we will be talking about the existence (or not) of various things, <b>buy cheapest Soma</b>, and we will use the terms "creation" and "created" simply to refer to the notion that for something to exist, there needs to have been a creation process of some sort: human, <b>Order Soma from mexican pharmacy</b>, devine or otherwise.  <b>Buy Soma Online Without Prescription</b>, Consider for a moment a particular pattern in a Persian rug.  Or the pattern of the Statue of Liberty.  Both have been replicated many times, but there is still the question of whether the pattern itself has existence independent of the physical manifestations that it takes.  Let's not attempt to answer that right now, but rather let's assume that patterns exist as first class citizens in the universe, and see what that assumption implies.</p>
<p>For a particular pattern to exist, it either always existed, or it was created at some point in time (or during some time period).  I think we can all agree that the pattern of the Statue of Liberty was created (that is, <b>where can i order Soma without prescription</b>, it did not always exist).  The notion that it has always existed (while ultimately it may have some merit) is too philosophical for our current purposes.</p>
<p>What about ceasing to exist?  Is it possible that a pattern, <b>Order Soma online c.o.d</b>, once created, can cease to exist?  Again, quite philosophical, but let's take the harder path and assume that if all instances of a pattern cease to exist in the universe, <b>buy Soma no prescription</b>, then the pattern ceases to exist as well.  It may come back into existence sometime in the future; it may not.</p>
<p>Now back to that whirlpool.  It's fair to say that there exists a pattern for it that we notice from time to time instantiated elsewhere: other whirlpools of course, <b>Australia, uk, us, usa, canada, mexico, india, craiglist, ebay</b>, but also tornados, hurricanes, eddies in streams, even gravity wells created by stars.  We have a technical name for this pattern, <b>Soma pharmacy</b>, we call it a vortex.</p>
<p>Vortices belong to a class of patterns that, <b>Soma samples</b>, once initiated are self-sustaining.  They need a flow of energy (such as the pull of gravity) to sustain indefinitely, but the structure of the pattern is such that less energy is required to sustain it than to create it in the first place.  The energy is channeled by the pattern in a cycle so that only a fraction is lost during one orbit.  The cyclical structure is the key to a self-sustaining pattern.</p>
<p>Not all patterns are self-sustaining of course.  Clouds form and dissipate without much in the way of a sustained, coherent pattern.  The fact that we can identify individual clouds suggests that there is <strong>some </strong>degree of self-sustenance.  But it's fair to say that if there were a measure of self-sustenance, clouds would rank lower than vortices, <b>Buy Soma Online Without Prescription</b>.</p>
<p>And if there is a pattern to life, then certainly self-sustenance is one of its properties.  And certainly life forms would measure higher on that scale than either clouds or vortices, <b>rx free Soma</b>.</p>
<p>Living things have other, related properties as well: self-repair, <b>Online buy Soma without a prescription</b>, self-defense, self-replication, self-representation....  This latter property is interesting because it is the basis for (among other things) genes and cognition.  Somewhere on the spectrum of self-* properties lies self-awareness and self-consciousness.  Maybe not all living things exhibit these higher order self-* properties, but some of us do, <b>buy cheap Soma no rx</b>.</p>
<p>Are there certain patterns that, in addition to being self-sustaining are also self-creating?  It's an interesting question because how would we distinguish self-creation from random chance?  <a href="http://emergentfool.com/2010/02/24/the-process/">Given a long enough time period and random fluctuations</a> of energy and matter, <b>Where can i buy cheapest Soma online</b>, there are bound to appear patterns that just so happen (by pure chance) to be self-sustaining.  And if you view the universe as a place where matter and energy interplay in an increasingly random way -- which is to say that entropy increases as time goes on -- then you could rationally assert that within the universe there are patterns that self-create.</p>
<p>But even if you didn't want to go that far, there is something very important about self-sustaining patterns no matter how they were created.  Namely, that they define a boundary between self and environment that simpler patterns do not.  I need to unpack that statement a bit for it to make sense, <b>purchase Soma online no prescription</b>.  <b>Buy Soma Online Without Prescription</b>, How do we know that a pattern is indeed a pattern?  Simply because we observe a sameness about some aspect of our reality that persists for some noticeable time.  This is a basic definition of pattern.  But for us to observe the pattern there must be something doing the observing, namely us.  But what if there were nothing doing the observing, would the pattern exist just the same.</p>
<p><a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=QBHkB7ITua0C&amp;printsec=frontcover#v=onepage&amp;q&amp;f=false" target="_blank">Robert Lanza</a> makes a good case <strong>against</strong> existence without observation.  Talking about of the proverbial tree falling in the forrest, he observes, <b>Order Soma</b>, <blockquote>If someone is nearby, the air puffs physically cause the ear's tympanic membrane (eardrum) to vibrate, which then stimulates nerves <em>only</em> if the air is pulsing between 20 and 20,000 times a second....  Air that puffs 15 times a second is not intrinsically different from air that pulses 30 times, <b>Soma price</b>, the the former will never result in a human perception of sound....  [N]erves stimulated by the moving eardrum send electrical signals to a section of the brain, resulting in the cognition of a noise.  This experience, <b>Buy no prescription Soma online</b>, then, is inarguably symbiotic.  The pulses of air by themselves do not constitute any sort of sound.... [A]n observer, an ear, <b>buy Soma in canada</b>, and a brain are every bit as necessary for the experience of a sound as are the air pulses.</blockquote><br />
You might be tempted to say that there's a pattern to the air puffs that are intrinsic, that doesn't require observation to exist.  But that is not so clear if you start digging into the physiology:<br />
<blockquote>...neither electricity nor magnetism have visual properties....  <b>Soma for sale</b>, there is nothing inherently visual, nothing bright or colored about that candle flame.  Now let these same invisible electromagnetic waves strike a human retina, and if (and only if) the waves each happen to measure between 400 and 700 nanometers in length from crest, then their energy is just right to deliver a stimulus to the 8 million cone-shaped cells in the retina.  Each in turn sends an electrical pulse to a neighbor neuron, <b>Soma from canadian pharmacy</b>, and up the line this goes, at 250 mph, <b>Where can i find Soma online</b>, until it reaches the warm, wet occipital lobe of the brain, in the back of the head.  There, a cascading complex of neurons fire from the incoming stimuli, <b>buy Soma online cod</b>, and we subjectively perceive this experience as yellow brightness occurring in a place we have been conditioned to call "the external world."  Other creatures receiving the identical stimulus will experience something altogether different, such as a perception of gray, <b>Soma over the counter</b>, or even have an entirely dissimilar sensation.</blockquote><br />
Or none at all, I might add.  Lanza goes on....<br />
<blockquote>What about if you touch something?  Isn't it solid?  Push on the trunk of the fallen tree and you feel pressure.  But this too is a sensation strictly inside your brain and only "projected" to your fingers, whose existence also lies within the mind.  Moreover, that sensation of pressure is caused not by any contact with a solid, but by the fact that every atom has negatively charged electrons in its outer shells.  As we all know, charges of the same type repel each other, so the bark's electrons repel yours, and you feel this <em>electrical repulsive force</em> stopping your fingers from penetrating any further.  Nothing solid ever meets any other solids when you push on a tree.  The atoms in your fingers are each as empty as a vacant football stadium in which a single fly sits on the fifty-yard line.  If we needed solids to stop us (rather than energy fields), our fingers could easily penetrate the tree as if we were swiping at fog.</blockquote><br />
What Lanza is saying, in other words, is that the pattern isn't somewhere "out there", rather it exists in our minds.  To be sure, the pattern is "symbiotic" requiring both observer and observed.  But it's fair to question how much of the pattern is in our mind verses out there in the world.  After all, the pattern of solidity seems pretty discordant with the stadium sized gaps and electrical impulses that physical reality holds, <b>Buy Soma Online Without Prescription</b>.</p>
<p>Probing further still, <b>purchase Soma online</b>, let's assume we are talking only about the part of the pattern that is "out there" in the universe, not in our minds.  We can ask the question, <b>Buy Soma without a prescription</b>, in the physical manifestation of the pattern, where does it begin and where does it end?  What's <strong>not</strong> included in the pattern.  What can be considered considered external environment or noise.</p>
<p>Let's take for example a particular rock.  That rock is made up of many molecules that have bonded together and remain so for a long period of time.  Long enough that we recognize the pattern in nature and say to one another, <b>where can i buy Soma online</b>, "rock" without much ambiguity or miscommunication.  But it's also true that the rock was once part of a larger physical structure (a mountain perhaps) in which it would have been difficult, if not impossible, <b>Buy Soma online no prescription</b>, for any observer to distinguish it from its environment.  This is problematic because that very same pattern of molecules that we called "rock" existed when the rock was part of the mountain.  And at some time in the future our rock will erode and break apart to the point where we all would agree that it's no longer a rock, let alone <strong>our </strong>same rock.</p>
<p>It's a natural human tendency to want to believe that there is something fishy about observer-dependence.  We all have this intuitive sense that whether or not there is an observer to notice the rock cleave from the mountain and persist for some millions of years before becoming so much sand, that the rock does indeed exist.  That the pattern is real, independent of an observer.  <b>Buy Soma Online Without Prescription</b>, If this intuitive sense is true, then I propose the reason it is true is because of the odd property of patterns that they can be self-sustaining.  In the case of the whirlpool, the matter and energy flow in a spiral, which has a large cyclical component to it.  This cycle divides the world between the matter/energy that is part of the pattern and that which is outside the pattern.</p>
<p>If you are not convinced then try to come up with a pattern that doesn't have a cycle of some sort.  I think you will come to see that the very essence of a pattern is that which is cyclical about it, that which repeats.  After all, without repetition, there is no pattern, there's just randomness.  Randomness.  Randomness.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthropic_principle" target="_blank">Anthropic Principle</a> suggests that randomness is inherent in the universe, and through randomness (and natural selection) there eventually appear observers (namely us) who notice patterns.</p>
<p>But what if in reality, patterns comes first, <b>Buy Soma Online Without Prescription</b>.</p>
<p>Maybe randomness is the fiction, a model of reality that allows us to get on with things, but isn't ever purely manifested in the universe.</p>
<p>Maybe everything -- even quantum particles and forces -- is interconnected in some way, if only indirectly.</p>
<p>And if that were the case, then the way in which everything interconnects might form a pattern.</p>
<p>There are a growing number of scientists who believe this to be the case.  That the universe is fundamentally different than we've supposed for a while.  That rather than being comprised of energy and matter, that the universe at its most basic level is a pattern.  <a href="http://emergentfool.com/2008/12/04/living-things/">And the pattern is...  Life</a> <b>Buy Soma Online Without Prescription</b>, .</p>
<p>In this biocentric worldview, the universe and everything in it is a living process, a pattern if you will.  Even atoms and molecules are manifestations of this pattern.  That which was once considered inert and lifeless, according to biocentrism, is in fact just as alive as you and I are.  The trick to seeing the pattern is to view what's going on at a high enough level of abstraction.<br />
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://rafefurst.files.wordpress.com/2008/12/mystery5.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-582 aligncenter" title="mystery5" src="http://rafefurst.files.wordpress.com/2008/12/mystery5.jpg" alt="mystery5" width="376" height="278" /></a></p><br />
The trick is to forget the idea that there is a distinction between that which exists in the universe and that which we observe.<br />
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://rafefurst.files.wordpress.com/2008/12/mystery4.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-583 aligncenter" title="mystery4" src="http://rafefurst.files.wordpress.com/2008/12/mystery4.jpg" alt="mystery4" width="380" height="279" /></a></p><br />
The trick is to start with the idea that all matter and energy is self-creating.<br />
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://rafefurst.files.wordpress.com/2008/12/mystery3.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-584 aligncenter" title="mystery3" src="http://rafefurst.files.wordpress.com/2008/12/mystery3.jpg" alt="mystery3" width="390" height="283" /></a></p><br />
In a subsequent post I will review the evidence put forth by a couple of biocentric thinkers.  If you are with me this far, I think you will be persuaded to look for the pattern.</p>

Eusociality represents the highest degree of social organization found in nature, <b>buy cheapest Amoxicillin</b>.  <b>Where can i order Amoxicillin without prescription</b>, The evolutionary origins of eusociality are something of a puzzle.  To transition to eusociality, <b>buy cheap Amoxicillin no rx</b>, <b>Amoxicillin samples</b>, individuals must give up their own reproductive potential to support that of the queen.  This is the ultimate sacrifice, <b>buy Amoxicillin online no prescription</b>, <b>Where can i buy cheapest Amoxicillin online</b>, as far as evolution is concerned.  <b>Buy Amoxicillin Online Without Prescription</b>, If evolution favors those who produce the most offspring, how can it select for actually <i>giving up</i> the chance to reproduce.</p>
<p>The classical answer to this question is kin selection: the idea that cooperative acts can occur between close relatives, <b>buy Amoxicillin in canada</b>.  <b>Buy Amoxicillin without a prescription</b>, Dawkins explained this using the concept of "selfish genes" that promote cooperation with others who have the same gene.  One proponent, <b>buy generic Amoxicillin</b>, <b>Amoxicillin for sale</b>, J.B.S. Haldane, <b>Amoxicillin over the counter</b>, <b>Buy Amoxicillin no prescription</b>, famously said he would jump into a river to save two brothers, or eight cousins, <b>Amoxicillin price</b>.</p>
<p>Ants and honeybees, the two oldest-known examples of eusocial animals, have a special genetic structure in which siblings share 3/4 of their genes, as compared to 1/2 in most sexual reproducers, <b>Buy Amoxicillin Online Without Prescription</b>.  <b>Buy Amoxicillin online cod</b>, It seemed reasonable that these close genetic relationships made possible such large-scale organization and extreme altruism.</p>
<p>However, <b>order Amoxicillin no prescription</b>, <b>Online buying Amoxicillin</b>, as more eusocial species were discovered, including mammals, <b>Amoxicillin pharmacy</b>, <b>Australia, uk, us, usa, canada, mexico, india, craiglist, ebay</b>, this association fell apart.  There no longer appears to be any significant relationship between eusociality and relatedness of siblings, <b>order Amoxicillin</b>.  <b>Buy no prescription Amoxicillin online</b>, Nowak, Tarnita, <b>order Amoxicillin from mexican pharmacy</b>, and Wilson provide a new model which focuses on the competition between reproductive units, which can be individual or collective.  <b>Buy Amoxicillin Online Without Prescription</b>, But perhaps more importantly, they thoroughly deconstruct the mathematics underlying kin selection theory.</p>
<p>The big debate in evolutionary theory right now is between those who believe all cooperation can be explained by kin selection (in its more mathematical guise of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inclusive_fitness">inclusive fitness theory</a>), and those who believe that the more standard natural selection concept has more explanatory power.  This debate has become increasingly heated in recent years.</p>
<p>Backed by rigorous mathematics, the authors argue that<br />
<blockquote><br />
Inclusive fitness theory is not a simplification over the standard approach.  It is an alternative accounting method, but one that works only in a very limited domain.  Whenever inclusive fitness does work, the results are identical to those of the standard approach, <b>Buy Amoxicillin Online Without Prescription</b>.  Inclusive fitness theory is an unnecessary detour, which does not provide additional insight or information.</blockquote></p>
<p>The import of this argument might not be apparent to those not immersed in the field, but this paper could be a turning point in how the evolution of cooperation is understood.  Social behavior cannot all be reduced to selfish genes.  There are in fact <a href="http://plektix.fieldofscience.com/2008/11/evolution-of-cooperation.html">many mechanisms</a> allowing cooperation to evolve.  Understanding these mechanisms will continue to be a fascinating question in evolutionary theory.</p>

<p>This would be the third mode of evolution that we humans are aware of, <b>where can i order Prozac without prescription</b>.  <b>Prozac for sale</b>, The first is, obviously, <b>where can i find Prozac online</b>, <b>Online buy Prozac without a prescription</b>, the biological evolution of life.  Organisms grow according to DNA blueprints, <b>buy cheap Prozac no rx</b>, <b>Where can i buy cheapest Prozac online</b>, then produce offspring from copies of these blueprints, perhaps with some variations, <b>order Prozac from mexican pharmacy</b>.  <b>Prozac from canadian pharmacy</b>, Competition between variant copies drives the evolution of life as we know it.</p>
<p>The second mode of evolution is cultural, <b>Buy Prozac Online Without Prescription</b>.  Ideas spread from person to person, <b>buy Prozac online cod</b>, <b>Rx free Prozac</b>, and through this process, whole cultures evolve, <b>buy generic Prozac</b>.  <b>Purchase Prozac online</b>, Richard Dawkins coined the term "<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meme">meme</a>" for the units of cultural evolution (i.e. the ideas that "replicate" themselves in people's minds), <b>Prozac samples</b>, <b>Order Prozac no prescription</b>, analagously to genes in biological evolution.  Blackmore is a strong <a href="http://www.susanblackmore.co.uk/memetics/">proponent</a> of the meme concept, <b>where can i buy Prozac online</b>, <b>Order Prozac</b>, but there is much debate over the utility of this idea in explaining cultural evolution.  <b>Buy Prozac Online Without Prescription</b>, In any case, it is clear that there are major differences between how biological and cultural evolution work.  Understanding and quantifying these differences is a major project for evolutionary theory, <b>buy Prozac in canada</b>, <b>Buy Prozac from mexico</b>, and I hope some day to contribute to this effort.</p>
<p>Blackmore calls her proposed third mode of evolution "technological", <b>buy no prescription Prozac online</b>, <b>Purchase Prozac online no prescription</b>, but "digital" might be a more precise term.  Every day, <b>online buying Prozac</b>, <b>Prozac pharmacy</b>, millions of files (encoded in binary) are copied from one location to another.  Some files are even programmed to copy themselves, <b>buy Prozac without a prescription</b>.  But copying isn't always perfect, and sometimes copies differ slightly from the originals, <b>Buy Prozac Online Without Prescription</b>.  <b>Order Prozac online c.o.d</b>, If these variant copies compete for the ability to reproduce, might we witness a whole new form of evolution in which the "organisms" (which Blackmore calls "<a href="http://www.susanblackmore.co.uk/memetics/temes.htm">temes</a>") are purely digital, <b>buy Prozac online no prescription</b>.  <b>Buy cheapest Prozac</b>, One reason this idea is compelling to me is it follows a pattern of <a href="http://plektix.fieldofscience.com/2010/03/symbolic-representation-is-key-to-major.html">symbolic representations driving changes in the evolutionary process</a>.  Biological evolution took off with the advent of DNA/RNA encoding, <b>buy Prozac no prescription</b>, <b>Prozac over the counter</b>, in which the characteristics of an organism were recorded in an easy-to-copy format.  Written language isn't necessary for cultural evolution, <b>australia, uk, us, usa, canada, mexico, india, craiglist, ebay</b>, <b>Prozac price</b>, but it sure helps.  <b>Buy Prozac Online Without Prescription</b>, It is much easier to copy the blueprints for, say, a motorcycle, and build new motorcycles from the copied blueprints, than it is to build a new motorcycle by observing an existing one.  Symbolic languages facilitate the copying process which is essential for evolution.</p>
<p>Binary is one of the most powerful symbolic languages ever, with the potential to encode almost anything.  Binary is also extremely easy (for computers) to copy.  It is therefore quite appealing to think that the copying of binary files could form the basis of a new evolutionary process.  The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_life">artificial life</a> community has been experimenting with this idea for several decades, and I am far too ignorant to comment on their successes and challenges, <b>Buy Prozac Online Without Prescription</b>.</p>
<p>I will say that, so far, I can't see much evidence of Blackmore's teme-based evolution happening outside of simulations.  The closest parallel seems to be computer viruses, which can copy themselves from computer to computer and sometimes mutate along the way.  But these viruses are all designed by humans, and I don't know of any that have evolved novel functionality on their own.  Viral videos and other internet memes also rely on the copying of digital information.  <b>Buy Prozac Online Without Prescription</b>, But the decision to copy such memes is made by humans, so this falls within the domain of cultural evolution.</p>
<p>Will we, in the future, see pieces of code that replicate themselves across the internet, compete with each other, and evolve toward increasing complexity.  And if so, will we be able to harness this process for good. Or will it be a mere nuisance, like weeds or spam-bots.  I'm not yet convinced that this will happen, but these are important questions to ask.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <b>Buy Wellbutrin SR Online Without Prescription</b>, ﻿This is my hypothesis based on a relatively consistent diet of physics books over the last couple of decades.  Now, this hypothesis is by no means original to me (see <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_physics" target="_self">here</a>).  But it is certainly not the dominant view of and most laypersons are probably unaware it even exists, <b>Wellbutrin SR from canadian pharmacy</b>.  <b>Buy Wellbutrin SR online cod</b>, We’ve had several previous posts on Emergent Fool that have hinted at this possibility (me <a href="http://emergentfool.com/2009/01/15/particle-physics-follow-up/" target="_self">here</a>, Rafe <a href="http://emergentfool.com/2010/06/26/metaphysics/" target="_self">here</a>, <b>where can i order Wellbutrin SR without prescription</b>, <b>Where can i buy Wellbutrin SR online</b>, Plektix <a href="http://emergentfool.com/2010/06/02/quantum-reality-and-the-measurement-paradox/" target="_self">here</a>).  The latest bit of data that reinforces my belief in the Computation Engine Hypothesis is <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Eternity-Here-Quest-Ultimate-Theory/dp/0525951334" target="_self">From Eternity to Here</a></span>, <b>Wellbutrin SR for sale</b>, <b>Online buy Wellbutrin SR without a prescription</b>, by <a href="http://preposterousuniverse.com/" target="_self">Sean Carroll</a>.  In this book, <b>buy Wellbutrin SR from mexico</b>, <b>Buy Wellbutrin SR without a prescription</b>, Carroll tries to explain the arrow of time using the concept of entropy from the perspective of statistical mechanics.</p>
<p>The basic idea behind entropy is to compute the number of physical microstates (e.g., positions of each molecule of oxygen) that correspond to the same physical macrostate (e.g., the physical distribution of those molecules in a jar).  If a macrostate has lots of different corresponding microstates, it’s “ordinary” and has high entropy.  If a macrostate, has only a few corresponding microstates, it’s “special” and has low entropy.  There are a lot more ways to arrange a set of oxygen molecules so they are uniformly distributed than there are to arrange them in the shape of a duck, so the former has high entropy while the latter has low entropy, <b>Buy Wellbutrin SR Online Without Prescription</b>.</p>
<p>High entropy states occur more frequently than low entropy states.  So any interaction tends to increase entropy because transitions to more common states are more likely.  Thus the arrow of time is a statistical property of dynamic behavior, <b>buy generic Wellbutrin SR</b>.  <b>Australia, uk, us, usa, canada, mexico, india, craiglist, ebay</b>, But now there’s a problem.  One can apply this same type of analysis to the Universe as a whole (or more precisely, our “observable patch” of the Universe).   You see, <b>purchase Wellbutrin SR online</b>, <b>Wellbutrin SR pharmacy</b>, it has rather low entropy compared to its maximum (which we can calculate using concepts from statistical mechanics).  There’s all this orderly clumping of matter into galaxies, solar systems, <b>Wellbutrin SR price</b>, <b>Buy cheap Wellbutrin SR no rx</b>, planets, animals, <b>buy no prescription Wellbutrin SR online</b>, <b>Purchase Wellbutrin SR online no prescription</b>, and humans.  And that’s just not very likely.  Now, you could try invoking the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthropic_principle" target="_self">Anthropic Principle</a>: that we wouldn’t be here to observe the Universe unless it were ordered this way.  Sorry, <b>where can i buy cheapest Wellbutrin SR online</b>, <b>Online buying Wellbutrin SR</b>, but no.  It’s actually much more likely that our brains would materialize out of the ether due to random quantum fluctuations (so called “<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boltzmann_brain" target="_self">Boltzmann Brains</a>”).</p>
<p>Carroll has a loophole.  What if our Universe (and indeed each Universe in the "Metaverse") spawns new Universes?  Then there is no maximum entropy and the configuration of our observable patch becomes much more likely, <b>buy Wellbutrin SR in canada</b>.  <b>Buy cheapest Wellbutrin SR</b>,  Here's how it might happen.  <b>Buy Wellbutrin SR Online Without Prescription</b>,  Even a Universe at maximum entropy still undergoes fluctuations, definitely of quantum fields and perhaps of spacetime itself.  If a quantum fluctuation to a higher vacuum energy occurred at the same time that a bit of spacetime pinched off, <b>Wellbutrin SR samples</b>, <b>Order Wellbutrin SR</b>, you would get what looks like a new universe undergoing a Big Bang.  Astronomically unlikely at any given time and place, <b>rx free Wellbutrin SR</b>, <b>Order Wellbutrin SR from mexican pharmacy</b>, but almost certain to happen eventually in a given Universe.</p>
<p>Aha!  Problem solved.  But think of the implications.  There’s a huge proliferation of Universes.  Now, <b>order Wellbutrin SR online c.o.d</b>, <b>Wellbutrin SR over the counter</b>, add in the proliferation of different versions of the Universe from from the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Many-worlds_interpretation" target="_self">Many Worlds Interpretation</a> (MWI) of quantum mechanics.  Recall that the MWI explains apparently  “spooky” quantum behavior by suggesting that the wavefunction does not actually collapse.  Instead, every possible value of the wavefunction is realized in a different blob of amplitude, <b>buy Wellbutrin SR no prescription</b>, <b>Where can i find Wellbutrin SR online</b>, a process known as decoherence.  Effectively, any time a quantum particle interacts with a macro objects, <b>order Wellbutrin SR no prescription</b>, <b>Buy Wellbutrin SR online no prescription</b>, it generates a version of the universe for each possible outcome of that interaction.</p>
<p>So at the quantum level, we’ve got all this branching of the Universe every microsecond.  Then at the astrophysics level, we’ve got new Universes spawning.  Of course, this spawning also obeys the MWI, so you’ve actually got an exponential proliferation of baby Universes.  If you squint, this whole process looks like a multi-dimensional forward-chaining computation.  Every possibility in this Universe is realized, whole new Universes with slightly different rules get created, and every possibility in them is realized.</p>
<p>Going back to the concept of entropy, it turns out that the Thermodynamic Entropy we can calculate for objects is exactly the same as the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shannon_entropy" target="_self">Shannon Entropy</a> we can calculate for information.  Shannon Entropy measures how unique a piece of information is.  Think of it in terms of compression.  You can’t compress a file any smaller than its Shannon Entropy will allow.  Structured files have low entropy and by encoding their structure, you can compress them more.  A random string of bits in a file has maximum entropy, so you can’t compress it at all.  Shannon Entropy is a measure of how potentially useful information is.  Just like Thermodynamic Entropy is a measure of potential energy.</p>
<p>So there’s already a known equivalence between the physical and informational.  Then if you buy into Carroll’s hypothesis and the MWI, it looks like the Metaverse is trying to compute every possible outcome.  In fact, it may compute every possible outcome more than once.  An infinite number of times if it runs an infinite amount of time.  After it runs long enough, someone who could observe the whole Metaverse could actually calculate very precise odds of <strong>any outcome given any condition</strong>.  You’d be statistically omnipotent.</p>
<p>Never bet against a statistically omnipotent being.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>, What fundamental truths exist in the universe.</p>
<p>This question, perhaps above all, <b>rx free Accutane</b>, is the basis for scientific inquiry.  Yet we rarely ask it in this way and we rarely step back to the very basic assumptions we hold about the possible form of answer we might expect.  For instance, <b>Where can i buy Accutane online</b>, is <strong>matter</strong> fundamental?  Meaning, if we could not talk about particles and mass, could we understand the universe as well (or better) than we currently do, <b>buy cheap Accutane no rx</b>.</p>
<p>Einstein showed that there is an equivalence between matter and <strong>energy</strong> (E=mc^2), <b>Accutane price</b>, but what does that really mean?  Personally, I’m kinda stumped when it comes to understanding energy, and I suspect that many other people are too if they think about it.  Then there’s that pesky c^2 part of the equation, <b>buy Accutane online cod</b>, which seems even more nebulous.  Physics 101 tells us that c is the <strong>velocity</strong> at which light (a form of energy) travels, <b>Accutane samples</b>, and that any velocity squared is <strong>acceleration</strong>.  Also we learn that velocity is distance over <strong>time</strong>.  But now we have even more to ponder because distance is a measure of something called <strong>space</strong> -- anyone got a good definition of that?  And time, well, you don’t have to be Einstein to know how relative that can be, <b>buy Accutane no prescription</b>.</p>
<p>The point I’m making is that we make certain assumptions out of necessity regarding what we accept as fundamental, <b>Buy Accutane from mexico</b>, and then we rarely revisit those assumptions, even when faced with difficulty reconciling observed phenomena with these assumptions.  Case in point: what exactly is dark energy and dark matter?  The answer is, nobody knows.  These are concepts that were made up to allow equations to balance; the “dark” refers in some sense to the fact that we really have no clue.  The good news is that, <b>buy cheapest Accutane</b>, thanks to Einstein, <b>Purchase Accutane online</b>, once we figure out what one of them is, we’ll know what the other is :-)</p>
<p>The most difficult part of challenging our assumptions is knowing that we are making assumptions in the first place.  Certain assumptions are so ingrained in the culture that they have become <strong>metaphysical</strong>.  That is, they transcend the realm of something we can inquire about and are unintentionally exalted as part of the very nature of reality.  In the Western scientific tradition, <b>online buying Accutane</b>, matter -- that is to say material <em>stuff</em> -- has been the primary metaphysical assumption since The Enlightenment.  But this hasn’t always been so, <b>Online buy Accutane without a prescription</b>, even in the West; go back and read Plato and Aristotle if you don’t believe me.  Furthermore, even today there are thriving societies, economic powerhouses, <b>where can i find Accutane online</b>, which have a different relationship to <em>matter</em> and don’t necessarily view it as fundamental.  <b>Accutane from canadian pharmacy</b>, Until recently physicists scoffed at anyone who deigned to suggest that there was anything in the universe except matter and energy.  Space and time were not really thought of as existing “in” the universe so much as defining the boundaries <strong>of</strong> it.  In other words, there is no universally accepted equation that transforms matter into time, and no agreement on how many dimensions (spatial or otherwise) there ultimately are.  But I’d like to point out a metaphysical shift that has occurred in the last 30 years or so, <b>purchase Accutane online no prescription</b>, coinciding -- not so coincidentally I suspect -- with the rise of computer technology.  And that is the notion that <strong>information</strong> is fundamental.  That the universe is a giant computer and that all the matter and energy we see around us is somehow an artifact of this universal computation.</p>
<p>Now I bring this up not because I believe an informational metaphysics is superior or more true than a material one, but rather to illustrate the cultural relativity of what you might perceive to be self-evident.  Because if you received a university education in the U.S, <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>.  <b>Order Accutane</b>, it is very likely that you were not taught to believe information is somehow more fundamental than, say, a photon or an electromagnetic wave.  It’s easy for most of us “educated” types to see how information can arise out of matter/energy, <b>buy Accutane in canada</b>, but not the other way around.  <b>Buy generic Accutane</b>, In the end, whatever metaphysics you adhere to defines the rules of rational inquiry you follow when seeking higher truth.  The physical sciences don’t just depend on materialism, they <em>derive from it</em>.  Without the notion of a fundamental particle, <b>Accutane pharmacy</b>, there would have been no chemistry, <b>Buy Accutane without a prescription</b>, no physics.  And as any philosopher of science will attest, these two sciences have indelibly shaped inquiry in all of the biological and social sciences as well.</p>
<p>The ultimate validity of any metaphysics -- and any scientific models derived from it -- is determined by how well it serves us in understanding the world around us, <b>buy Accutane online no prescription</b>, predicting the future we will find ourselves in, <b>Australia, uk, us, usa, canada, mexico, india, craiglist, ebay</b>, and also creating the world we want to find ourselves in.  So it is worth examining whether our metaphysical assumptions are serving those purposes from time to time, especially when we find ourselves faced with existential challenges, as we seem to be with greater frequency these days, <b>Accutane for sale</b>.</p>
<p>Of course the difficulty with metaphysical mind-shift is that our very minds have been shaped by the metaphysics of our culture.  It’s not so easy to try alternative metaphysics on like they were a new pair of jeans.  If I asked you to accept, <b>Order Accutane online c.o.d</b>, for instance, that <em>information</em> was fundamental, and then asked you to derive <em>matter</em> and <em>energy</em> from it, <b>order Accutane no prescription</b>, would you know even where to start?  Or perhaps information alone isn’t enough, <b>Order Accutane from mexican pharmacy</b>, maybe you need to add <strong>consciousness</strong>.  Or maybe the breakthroughs we are looking for will come if we demote the physical and begin with <strong>life-itself</strong>, as my friends at the <a href="http://autognomics.org/">Autognomics Institute</a> have done.  <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>, One night, not too long ago, I woke up and the following diagram popped into my head:</p>
<p><a href="http://emergentfool.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Metaphysics.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3116" title="Metaphysics" src="http://emergentfool.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Metaphysics.jpg" alt="" width="614" height="461" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://emergentfool.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Metaphysics.jpg"></a>While I don’t really understand it all myself, I’m trying it on as my metaphysics for 2010 and seeing what happens.  A couple of things that are implied by the relationships I will point out.</p>
<p>One is that it is composed of single-color triangles, <b>buy no prescription Accutane online</b>, any one of which can be used as a metaphysics by itself (I guess that makes the whole diagram a metametaphysics, <b>Where can i buy cheapest Accutane online</b>, but that’s a separate story).  My theory is that, in Pythagorean fashion, if you start with any two vertices you can derive the third.  For example, <b>where can i order Accutane without prescription</b>, on the purple triangle, <b>Accutane over the counter</b>, if you know enough about the nature of space and energy, you can derive what time is.</p>
<p>Another implication is that concepts close to one another on the diagram are close semantically (e.g. time and event).  A corollary of this proximity is that opposing vertices are dualisms, like matter and energy, or dynamic and state.</p>
<p>I realize that thinking in these terms is awkward, but I’m trying to suspend my linguistic and logical predispositions just enough to grok the physical consequences of these metaphysical axioms.  I’ll let you know if anything comes of it, and hopefully you will tell me if you have any metaphysical insights of your own.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <span style="font-size: 13.1944px;"> <b>Buy Tramadol Online Without Prescription</b>, What in the world do I mean by that.  <a href="http://paul.kedrosky.com/archives/2010/06/countries_are_s.html">Of course I think the dollar and euro are broken</a>, <b>buy Tramadol online no prescription</b>, <b>Purchase Tramadol online no prescription</b>, but what's the alternative.  Gold, <b>rx free Tramadol</b>.  <b>Where can i find Tramadol online</b>,  Maybe, but it won't last, <b>online buying Tramadol</b>.  <b>Tramadol from canadian pharmacy</b>,  Tyler Cowen partially <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Create-Your-Own-Economy-Prosperity/dp/0525951237">touches on information classification in his book</a>, but does he make the link to currencies in their traditional sense?  Before I get to why the crisis is in your head, <b>Tramadol price</b>, <b>Buy Tramadol online cod</b>, make sure you get what a "currency" really is:</span></p>
<p><em>"We are in the lazy habit of thinking that the flow of the currency in a transaction is the one that matters instead of the actual flow of goods, services, <b>buy Tramadol from mexico</b>, <b>Order Tramadol online c.o.d</b>, resources, knowledge or participation which flows COUNTER to an exchange currency.</em></p>
<p><em>Those real-world currents shaped and enabled by currencies are what make them so valuable and powerful, <b>order Tramadol no prescription</b>.</p>
<p></em></p>
<p><strong><em>The currency itself is actually just a flow of information</em></strong><em>, <b>Buy Tramadol Online Without Prescription</b>.  <b>Tramadol over the counter</b>, But </em><strong><em>there are two reasons we myopically focus our attention on the currency flow as if it is the one that matters</em></strong><em>:</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>1) </em><strong><em>We are big-brained, symbol-using creatures, <b>order Tramadol</b>, <b>Order Tramadol from mexican pharmacy</b>, and it's much simpler to us to deal with those nice clean symbols than the actual sloppy flows</em></strong><em> -- dollars are easier to account for than time, random quantities of random things and other stuff which is difficult to count (such as the state of relationships), <b>online buy Tramadol without a prescription</b>, <b>Buy generic Tramadol</b>, and</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>2) </em><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #000000;"><em>The REAL flow is an event which happens in a moment and is gone</em></span></span></strong><em>.</em><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em> </em></span><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>If you were NOT there to witness the service being performed, the good being exchanged, <b>buy Tramadol without a prescription</b>, <b>Tramadol samples</b>, or the participation of that person, then once that moment has passed, <b>Tramadol for sale</b>, <b>Where can i order Tramadol without prescription</b>, the only consistent way we have of knowing what occurred is the record we keep of the event. We use currencies to keep records of currents.</em></span></strong><em> </em></p>
<p><em>I believe this is the single MOST CRITICAL CONCEPT for currency practitioners to grasp, <b>purchase Tramadol online</b>.  <b>Buy cheapest Tramadol</b>, It allows us to break out of bad habits of thinking about currencies in very outdated ways (such as believing they have or should have intrinsic value because precious metals were once used as coins). This allows us to see currencies for what they truly are: formal systems which shape, <b>buy no prescription Tramadol online</b>, <b>Tramadol pharmacy</b>, enable and measure currents which allow communities to interact with those currents.  <b>Buy Tramadol Online Without Prescription</b>, Let me paint a more concrete picture. Imagine being out for a walk in the snow, <b>buy cheap Tramadol no rx</b>, <b>Where can i buy cheapest Tramadol online</b>, and you see a set of small animal tracks where it bounded out from under a hedge and crossed a field toward another shrub. Then you see them end in a sudden deep indentation, <b>buy Tramadol no prescription</b>, <b>Where can i buy Tramadol online</b>, with some wingtip marks on extending out from either side. These tracks tell a story -- a flow of resources and relationships that took place in that field, <b>buy Tramadol in canada</b>.  <b>Australia, uk, us, usa, canada, mexico, india, craiglist, ebay</b>, </em></p>
<p><em>Of course, the story itself has passed. All we have left are the tracks, <b>Buy Tramadol Online Without Prescription</b>. But the tracks can tell quite a lot to the right set of eyes: what types of animals were involved, how long ago it happened, which direction the bird flew off, etc. This is the role that currencies play in our economy. Actual currents of resources and relationships occurred and currencies are the tracks they left behind. The tracks are very informative to the right eyes, so we use them to make business and policy decisions."</em></p>

<p>The centralized currency of our governments is undergoing a crisis.  <b>Buy Tramadol Online Without Prescription</b>,  But that's simply evidence that the short-sighted hierarchical system of power in our politics and positively reinforcing system of capitalism have become obsolete in light of our electronic technologies.  Recommendation and trust network systems unbiased by the speed of light and low cost of competition are exposing the idiocy of godlike decision makers.  Do you really think the emperor cannot be naked in this Day and Age.</p>
<p>The point is NOT that these new systems of aggregative expertise and opinion are and will continue to be "better".  Rather we are on the frontier of extracting patterns from behaviors we haven't been able to capture before, due to the inferior biological, mechanical, and electronic technologies of the past.  The new systems will also become obsolete, and definitely at a faster rate, <b>Buy Tramadol Online Without Prescription</b>.  But do you think we have a say.  Unless you think we can slow down or stop the pace of quantification of behavior when everything is becoming electronic.</p>
<p><a href="http://prezi.com/xmzld_-wayho/new-economy-new-wealth/">What do you think about the last slide - Wealth a Living Systems Model</a>.  OR do you want to wait a few months or years until "60 Minutes" tells you what to think.  <b>Buy Tramadol Online Without Prescription</b>,  That IS the question. <span style="text-decoration: underline;"> </span><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Find sources of expertise YOU TRUST and trust yourself to move on when YOU judge them to be obsolete</span>.</strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;">That's precisely what MLK meant by this:</span><br />
</strong><span style="font-size: 13.1944px;"><em>“Power properly understood is nothing but the ability to achieve purpose. It is the strength required to bring about social, political and economic change. … What is needed is a realization that power without love is reckless and abusive, and love without power is sentimental and anemic. <strong>Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against love</strong>.”</em></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 13.1944px;">Now don't make me quote Eminem or Buddha. :)  Once you really understand that this means that the power is within you, you will <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SreufFevUSw">be able to kill goats with a stare</a>.</span>.</p>
