The Being Function-Machine Model | 7 November 2020
To start, a function is anything that you can input something into that produces an output.
Mathematically:
f(x) = y, where f() is the function, x is the input, and y is the output.
Now let’s use this formula to describe the being. A perspective of being is that we are something that takes in information around us and then translates that into what we perceive as reality. Our existence is basically that of a function:
“x” is the information we collect
“f()” is the logic used to translate it
” y” is the new info gathered from our perspective
Now let’s apply this same structure to the model of the id, ego, and super-ego. This will try to explain how our perspective of the universe creates unique realities
x is the id
f() is the ego
y is the super-ego
The id is described as the base desires, feelings, and impulses. In the function model, it’s basically just all the information that is collected/inputed in the function . They’re instinctual because we either collect info or we don’t. Either “x” is input into the function or it isn’t.
The super-ego would be the “y” value. It is the critical analysis of information experienced by the id “x” that has been translated the ego “f()”.
How we respond to the information, however, can be changed. The ego would be the actual “function” part of the function model. When presented with information, it must translate it by using their logic of reality and how it relates to other information.
As we grow, our function machine for reality changes, so that’s how the same information or “x” value can result in different outcomes/responses/perception or “y” values.
Brain Processor Theory | 30 October 2020
• Our brains process reality in the sense reality wouldn’t exist if consciousness didn’t
• In a sense, our brains are kinda like computers translating meaningless data into an observable reality
• Intelligence could be result of the % of processing power being available after processing reality’s data
1. “Dumb” People are just people whose brains are using the majority of their processor brain just to create reality around them
2. “Smart” people are just people who have enough processing power to create and observe the details of reality
Mathematical Description Of Good/Bad | 8 September 2020
• XYZ Cartesian 3D space
• 3 axis (X-Y-Z) represent 3 aspects of being: mind-body-spirit
• Although it doesn’t really matter, we’ll arbitrarily define “good” as positive values and “bad” as negative values
• This 3D model depicts the goodness/badness of actions or objects as a vector
• Greatness is a scalar – it describes the magnitude of the act/thing, but nothing else
• By vector, this means it has a direction (defined as good/bad) and a magnitude (the length of the vector, i.e. the “greatness” of the action/object)
• A multi-dimensional representation allows for complex description of good. For example, an action may be good for the body, but bad for the spirit and mind, or any other combination.
• Although a single action can affect all aspects of being, it doesn’t have to. For example – physical activity/exercise can be good for both the mind and body, but it doesn’t really affect the spirit in any way
• Each axis describes an aspect of the whole, but to describe the action/object as a whole, then the sum of vectors must be take – this creates a new and individual vector that describes all three aspects of being simultaneously
An Imaginary God | 13 July 2020
“God” is the embodiment of the imaginary aspects of our universe. That doesn’t mean “God” doesn’t exist.
For instance, take imaginary numbers in math. Imaginary numbers aren’t “fake” numbers. They are used to describe the physical world in a way that real numbers can’t.
One set of numbers is not more valid than the other, but they are not interchangeable. In the same way that imaginary numbers describe things real numbers can’t, real numbers can do things imaginary numbers can’t. However, when used together they can describe much more complex mathematical and physical concepts.
Expanding on this idea, this is similar to the relationship between science/physical and religion/spirituality. These two things are not in opposition to each other, but rather complimentary to each other. They each explore different aspects of life/existence/the universe.
They are both important, but problems occur when we use one outside its proper application. A more concrete example can be the pandemic. The spiritual aspect of life can assist, but it should never contradict or work against the science side. Disease attacks the body, and science understands the physical body far better than the spiritual aspect of us does. Our spirit affects our mental health, and therefore our physical health, and is therefore very important to consider and maintain during the pandemic. But no matter how spiritually/mentally healthy we are, no amount of positive thinking/meditation/church by itself will overcome a pandemic.
