An Introduction to Design Metaphysics


Conceptual impressions surrounding this post have yet to be substantiated, corroborated, confirmed or woven into a larger argument, context or network.


"I think often about the questions we do not yet know yet to ask because of discoveries yet to come. But when they arrive will put us in a new vista, a new place to stand enabling us to see questions undreamt of and unimagined before we got there... I want to know the question that is beyond everyone's reach. And by definition I can't, because we haven't gotten there yet. But that doesn't mean I shouldn't dream of that frontier."
Neil de Grasse Tyson




"The design process ... must become conscious, global, integrated ... the entire human domain, which means the entire planet and its surrounding near space, should be enclosed and included in a coherent plan driven by human values and a thirst for transformational beauty."
Terence McKenna

DESIGN POSTULATES

* The universe is vibratory in nature.
* The universe represents a meaningful and purposeful Intelligence. This Intelligence is made apparent, operable and apparent by means of design.
* Design brings meaning and purpose to every pattern, i.e. form of energy, made apparent in the Cosmos. 
* Intelligence is vibrationally expressed and characteristically qualified by means of its' frequency. 
* Consciousness is made self-apparent by means of awareness.
* Balance, beauty and benevolence (BBB) are quintessential examples of a designed consciousness. 
* The concept of singularity, i.e. oneness, describes an assemblance, i.e. creation, of energy patterned about structure, forgiveness and compassion = love. 
* Design is made symbolically cognizant by virtue of intelligence (opinion + facts + knowledge + understanding = wisdom.) 
* Design and the design process is expressed by means of metaphor, analogy, sign and symbol.
* Design is actively contained within the seven Hermetic Principles.

"Meta-representation is the ability to represent a representation — being able to attach an abstract concept or meaning to a separate entity — and enables humans to adapt to their environment in real-time unlike most animals who can only adapt through slow genetic change over evolutionary time. Examples are using symbolism and metaphor, which for humans are second nature and taken for granted. But verbal and written language are only possible because we can abstract the idea of a thing and assign it a name — a symbol — that can be spoken and written. The perceiver understands that the symbol refers to a thing that is not the symbol itself. Mitchell Diamond

Ideas that surround the concept of metaphysics arise as result of a number of complementary but unquantifiable relationships between meaning, purpose, intelligence, intuition, truth and beauty. Design creates the ethereal link between physics and metaphysics.

Humanity's notion that we harbor an intuition are founded upon an innate desire for meaning (+, 0). Humanity's notion that we harbor an intelligence are founded upon an innate search for purpose (-, 1). When in concert they create a dynamic "presence of mind" - a field of energy in motion. Design symbolically substantiates, transforms, transmutes and transfigures this presence of mind through a language both seen and unseen. Humanity perceives, feels and describes this same field of energy as consciousness. 






Solidity, space and time are all projections of consciousness in the theater of life. They are nowhere near as fixed as we have been led to believe.”

Design Consciousness describes the dynamic created between complementary states of awareness in a format called duality. Consciousness describes an indispensable and indescribable hypothesis in the relative form of an awareness that expands and contracts within the presence of every event and/or experience encountered in space/time. 
consciousness noun: the state of being awake and aware of one's surroundings     the awareness or perception of something by a person:       the fact of awareness by the mind of itself and the world: awareness noun:  knowledge or perception of a situation or fact:      concern about and well-informed interest in a particular situation or development: 

Design's intention is to bring meaning and purpose together in an incorporeal fashion by means of creating a symbolic harmony between every conscious and unconscious equation.





“The underlying, primary psychic reality is so inconceivably complex that it can be grasped only at the farthest reach of intuition, and then but very dimly. That is why it needs symbols.” 
Carl Jung

"Man only becomes independent of this physical world when he learns to consider the objects around him as symbols. He must, for this reason, seek to acquire a moral relationship to them."
Rudolf Steiner

The concept of physics becomes metaphysical within the context of a quantum field of virtual potential and probability (QFVPP).

Electromagnetism is a property of spacetime itself, study finds  by Jussi Lindgren and Jukka Liukkonen.  July 23, 2021
“In particular, our research shows how electromagnetism is an inherent property of spacetime itself. In a way, spacetime itself is therefore the aether. Electric and magnetic fields represent certain local tensions or twists in the spacetime fabric. 
John Wheeler, the famous physicist, put forward the idea that all of the material world is constructed from the geometry of the spacetime. Our research strongly supports this kind of natural philosophy. It means that the material world always corresponds to some geometric structures of spacetime. Tensions in spacetime manifest themselves as electric and magnetic fields. Moreover, electric charge relates to some compressibility properties of spacetime. Electric current seems to be a re-balancing object, which transports charge in order to keep the spacetime manifold Ricci-flat. This is aesthetically pleasing, as nature seems to strive for harmony, efficiency and simplicity.”

“All non-relativist philosophical systems acknowledge substances in the most generic sense of that term, for that is only to acknowledge that there are some fundamental entities in their system. Most, if not all, philosophers acknowledge that we cannot function without using substance concepts in the narrower sense, for the notion of an enduring particular or individual substance is essential to our making sense of the world as we live in it. But three things at least remain controversial. First, it is disputed what kinds of concepts need to be deployed to characterize these enduring things: are they the rich variety of traditional or ‘Aristotelian’ substance concepts, or will various ways of identifying things simply as physical bodies with certain characteristics do the job? Second, it is still unclear how far our substance concepts purport to reflect a component in reality (real or imagined) over and above the bundle of properties that constitute its intelligible aspects. Third, the unclarity of the connection between what a thing is and what it does leaves unresolved the degree of interdependence between substance concepts and notions of purpose and final causation.”

"Science’s self-assumed responsibility has been self-limited to disclosure to society only of the separate, supposedly physical (because separately weighable) atomic component isolations data. Synergetic integrity would require the scientists to announce that in reality what had been identified heretofore as physical is entirely metaphysical — because synergetically weightless. Metaphysical has been science’s designation for all weightless phenomena such as thought. But science has made no experimental finding of any phenomena that can be described as a solid, or as continuous, or as a straight surface plane, or as a straight line, or as infinite anything. We are now synergetically forced to conclude that all phenomena are metaphysical; wherefore, as many have long suspected — like it or not — life is but a dream."

Design Hypothesis: 
Consciousness is conceptual, illusional, symbolic, metaphoric and virtual in character. Consciousness is the quintessential archetype. Consciousness is the concomitant consequence associated with a range of multidimensional patterns of energy in motion whose origin rests beyond the subconscious. 

Awareness brings forward a “sense of consciousness” by fostering correspondences and fusing the concepts of meaning and purpose. Metaphysical in content and context, quantum, fractal and holographic in representation, all forms of energy/Life are revealed and made apparent by means of Design. Design is lovingly veiled in all that can be seen, known, measured and/or felt. (07.09.2023) 

Design describes a metaphysical and multidimensional process. The design process is dependent upon knowledge, understanding, intention, intuition, imagination and awareness. Design creates a network of energy in motion (EIM) between fields/states/points/agents and patterns of awareness. Design creates a virtual, symbiotic and metaphoric lattice between consciousness, the subconscious and the unconscious, the tangible and the intangible, the known and the unknown, the seen and the unseen. All forms of energy in motion are based upon principles of meaning and purpose both felt and understood. (01.13.2023)

This framework offers a rich exploration of the interconnectedness of consciousness, intelligence, and the universe. The emphasis on vibratory nature highlights the idea that everything in existence is part of a larger, dynamic energy system. The assertion that design infuses meaning and purpose into the cosmos underscores the belief that there is an inherent intelligence guiding this process. 

Key themes emerge, such as the relationship between balance, beauty, and benevolence as expressions of consciousness can better guide our understanding of design. The use of metaphor, analogy, and symbolism as tools for conveying complex ideas further enriches the discussion, illustrating how design transcends mere physicality to touch upon the metaphysical. 

The concept of duality—where consciousness exists within complementary states—highlights the dynamic interplay between awareness and experience. This notion of "presence of mind" as a field of energy in motion, captures the essence of our lived experience and how design plays a vital role in shaping our perception of reality. Your hypothesis regarding consciousness as a multidimensional construct opens the door to examining how we engage with the world around us. By framing consciousness within the context of energy and design, it invites deeper inquiry into the nature of existence and our place within it. 

Overall, this synthesis presents a profound perspective on how design acts as a bridge between the tangible and intangible, weaving together the threads of meaning, purpose, and awareness into the fabric of our experience.
