In my perception it is our emerged part of consciousness in this emerged reality that is responsible for the Flow of time experience and the awareness of continuity of space.

The first question however with the idea of “emerged reality” is where it emerges from. I will explain below (in short) how.



I argue that the source of all emerging phenomena is time and space-less. Both time and space are restrictions of our emerged reality:

ALL time-moments (of past, NOW and future) can be harboured in an eternal basket of time. You can wonder if time can only be experienced through consciousness. Then consciousness is creating order in the infinite chaos of moments. This order we are aware of as: the flow of time (through our consciousness). The same reasoning, I would like to have for the idea space-less. The space-less entity could be imagined as harbouring all possible and for us impossible space-dimensions (n-dimensions), each dimension with its own infinite number of coordinates. ALL these coordinates are independent of each other, they are ALL without reference. Again, here in this Total Simultaneity ORDER out of this CHAOS is created by consciousness. The arrangement of coordinates in our three-dimensional leads to the awareness of “SPACE”. The combination of these two “creations” leads to the experienced reality.

Where is this “Total Simultaneity”?

The answer: EVERYWHERE beyond the Planck length and time. At EACH point (so also points that have a less distance as the Planck length) of our emerged reality we can approach the Planck space and time, and after that frontier (that is not a strict line but a blurry region where TS and reality are fluctuating). Approaching the Planck time-length, the same happens. Total Simultaneity however will NEVER be reachable for agents that inhabit a from consciousness ordered emergent phenomenon that we are calling REALITY, because “there” rules only chaos.

May be, you can imagine that Total Simultaneity also harbours Total Consciousness. Our consciousness is only a tiny part (like our reality) of it, but also part of the origin of our reality.

Markus Mueller’s attempt to reconcile consciousness with an external world is worth reading and digesting and I thank him for having taken the effort to write those 81 pages and publish them.

Nonetheless the main tools of this approach are, in my opinion, somewhat fuzzy, like for example “mathematics” and “irreducible randomness”. Surely, we know mathematics as THE rock solid and precise framework of lawful behaviour, but with the extra ingredient of irreducible randomness one must ask where such randomness should come from within the framework of mathematics and what should be it’s fundamental place within mathematics.

Albeit the paper of Mueller isn’t a metaphysical discussion about the meaning of maths, Solomonoff induction gives us the impression that lawful behaviour in the mathematical sense is somewhat timeless, enduring and non-changing. But irreducible randomness seems to counteract this impression. Therefore one has to assume that there is a timeless law, eduring and non-changing that dictates that the information-theoretic processes Müller wrote of should be somewhat linked to the permanent appearance of irreducible randomness (random bit-strings).

With this, mathematics turns out to be a dynamical “thing”, since irreducible randomness is somewhat fed into the deterministical equations of classical maths. Moreover, it isn’t quite clear what irreducible randomness should definitely mean. It could well be that within an infinitely long irreducible bit-string, there are parts of it that represent “lawful patterns”.

It seems clear to me that one way or the other, by asking for the fundamentals of physical reality, one has to assume some kind of emergence of physical reality from some underlying truth. If that truth should be identified as pure randomness (an infinitely long irreducible bit-string with some “lawful patterns” within it), randomness and lawful patterns wouldn’t be anymore what we thought them to be – since they obviously are able to generate non-fluctuating observations that moreover enable some kind of Solomonoff induction about them. Besides the quest for the nature of conscious observation within this (crazy?) framework (remember, within this framework, “maths” and “irreducible randomness” do at least begin to grasp their own existence and interplay), there must exist something deeper that enables these conscious observers to trace back the emergence of an external world to some underlying dynamics. If lawful patterns (classical maths) and irreducible randomness are able to do just that, we either have to radically redefine our notion of both or to assume that both aren’t the very end of the story.

By the way, Solomonoff induction enables one to induce that consciousness does not necessarily need a physical vehicle. One only has to study the huge body of near-death studies and experiences, together with the moral teachings of the world religions. In essence, they all converge asymtotically into the statement that there is a more real realm beyond physical reality. Granted that physical reality should then emerge in some way or another from that more real realm. The thing that is important about Mueller’s approach is that “more or less real” must be understood in terms of information-theoretic simulations arguments, since we have no other clue about its real nature. But if we take information-theoretic arguments serious, we can conclude that “information” at its fundamental level, should, one way or the other, have something to do what have called in my latest fqxi essay as “truth”.

René never said. Existimo ergo hoc, which am Latin for: “I think, therefore I is.”

René would have been closer to telling the truth had he averred: EGO coniecto, planetae non sicut in aliud omnibus. “I guess, just like everybody else on the planet does.” All philosophers would come closer to telling the truth if they would only preface all of their remarks with the term: “I guess.”

Any sensible person should know that reality could only have been provided by nature. The only irrefutable fact the physicists have been able to prove am that the real Earth had a real VISIBLE surface for millions of years before Markus Mueller ever appeared on that real VISIBLE surface and began publishing his utterly unnatural pompous silly guesswork concerning invisible humanly contrived finite consciousness.. All so-called theoretical physicists are really unnatural wild guessers. Reality was designed by NATURE to be fully understood by all living creatures in all places at all times. Nature must have provided the only real VISIBLE physical structure of the real Universe allowable. Obviously, the only nature, that has provided us with real VISIBLE mountains, and real VISIBLE oceans, and real VISIBLE deserts, and real VISIBLE jungles, and real VISIBLE ice caps, and all of our real VISIBLE selves must have given to us the only VISIBLE reality allowed. There has only ever been, and there will only ever be one unified VISIBLE infinite surface ETERNALLY occurring in one infinite dimension that am always mostly illuminated by finite non-surface light.

Consciousness forges our perception of the universe, not the universe itself.

"the quantum physicist’s radical new take on reality seems to suggest that the world we see emerges from our observations." This is not new. It was obvious to the ancient Greek philosophers. The problem is, physicists have failed to grasp the distinction that the "world we see" is not the same sort of thing as the "world as it is."

"Our theory says that only observations are fundamentally ’real’." I think, therefore I am: Our thoughts are the only thing that we ever perceive. But what we think nature is, and what it actually is, are two very different things.

"questioning one of our most basic assumptions that we operate on as human beings: that reality is objective and pre-dates us." Our reality is entirely subjective - a virtual reality created entirely by our brain - that, among other things, attempts to construct models of reality, that physicists subsequently confuse for reality itself.

"For example, before we measure a quantum system, it can hold contradictory properties" No. It merely seems contradictory, because the constructed model fails to correctly account for the behavior of entities that manifest only a single-bit-of-information.

"When we observe it, we force the system to assume a particular state" No. We only force our model of it, not the thing itself, into a particular state. A coin does not suddenly become one-sided, simply because an observer "calls it" either "heads" or "tails".

"Can that give you something that allows you to predict what you’ll see" No. Deductive logic can only derive conclusions that follow from some premises. But it cannot establish the validity of the premises. Information, in Shannon's Information Theory, is, in essence, defined to be "that which is not predictable."

"algorithmic information theory will find many applications in physics in the future" True. But it is Shannon's original Information Theory, that really explains the nature of quantum theory, not the later-developed, algorithmic information theory.

"Surely the defining feature of agents should be that they act?" And the most fundamental possible action, is to simply detect the existence of something else- by interacting with it. That is what single-bit detection, is all about.

"Choosing one’s actions is a secondary notion that should not be a fundamental part of any physical theory" No. You do not get to choose to act with something, until AFTER that something has been detected. "choosing" what to detect in the first-place, DEFINES the things you can interact with.

"radically different approaches are, in my opinion, desperately needed." I agree. But this one is not radical enough.
