"Quite clearly, our task is predominantly metaphysical, for it is how to get all of humanity to educate itself swiftly enough to generate spontaneous social behaviors that will avoid extinction."

This is an exercise in design metaphysics.

Not all things can be known or fully understood in any one space or time. There is always something more to know, believe and feel. The unknown is a constant.
"Tyron's proposal falls into the category of universes with a beginning but created out of nothing. However, nothingness here, as well as in all the other examples of quantum-related universes that followed Tryon's inspiring idea, must be understood in terms of quantum mechanical nothingness, and not from an absolute nothingness that translates to complete emptiness. In physics you simply cannot get something out of nothing. Creationex nihilois not the way of nature.
Thus, in quantum mechanics, there is no zero-energy state. There is only the lowest possible energy state of a system, then the energy of the ground state can fluctuate. If we call this ground state quantum vacuum, it follows that the quantum vacuum always has some structure to it. There is no such thing as a true vacuum in the sense of complete emptiness. Quantum mechanics forbids nothingness.
If there are energy fluctuations in a quantum vacuum, very interesting things can happen. For example, the E=mc2 relation tells us that energy and matter are interconvertible. A vacuum energy fluctuation can be converted into particles of matter. Sounds weird? Maybe, but it happens all the time. These particles are called virtual particles, living a fleeting existence before plunging back into the ever-busy quantum vacuum.
What is the quantum field of virtual potential and probability (QFVPP)?
The quantum field of virtual potential and probability is a virtual field of energy, light and information made conscious, aware and apparent by means of design, i.e. signs, symbols, metaphor and analogy. The QFVPP is characterized in the form of a "construct", i.e. a particle and/or wave, and sensed/experienced in the form of a force or impression.
construct: form (an idea or theory) by bringing together various conceptual elements, typically over a period of time. An idea or theory containing various conceptual elements, typically on considered to be subjective and not based on empirical evidence.
"How can one get the experience of red out of a function? The experience of red is not simply a quantity, such as the number 1 or 665 nanometers. 'Red' wavelengths of light are 665 nm. But your experience of red does not itself look at all like 665 nm. No, red is a quality."
Yet, if science is based on data, our experiences are the data of science, and as we have just seen the qualitative features of experiences (such as the experiences of what red looks like) cannot be expressed in terms of functions, then as a matter of science we should conclude that functionalism is false: our experiential data shows that conscious experience is not merely a function. It is something more.
Our brains somehow put together (or 'combine') these qualities in a coherent way through analog processing, much as a painter has to put colors together on a canvas."
"Conscious experience is fundamentally analog - digital beings are not."
- that all events and experiences occur within a quantum field of virtual potential and probability (QFVPP).
- that these events and experiences can "appear" both in and out of time both consciously and subconsciously.
- that any reasoning and/or categorization of these concepts are based and interpreted within the constraints of a perceiver/observer POV.
- that all events and experiences are both linear and cyclical.
- that all events/experiences are forever flowing.
- that the concepts presented are purely theoretical, visual and hypothetical snapshots of what cannot be measured or fully comprehended in 3D spacetime.
- that all "formations" of awareness/consciousness are vibratory in content and context whose essential source is unknown.
- that consciousness emerges by means of substantiation in the form of energy, light and/or information.
substantiation: the process of attempting to provide evidence in support of a truth.
- that awareness emerges to become conscious by means of design.
- that all things can be described as awareness, i.e. energy in motion (EIM) patterned in time while changing timelessly.
- that the Universe is 'One of Vibration' in which the QFVPP participates, is identified, labeled and designed.
- that the QFVPP is a multiversal qualifier having been designed and coded by means of observation and reflection.
- that concepts are metaphorical, ideas analogical and both are designed by means of signs and symbols.
- that the QFVPP describes and defines a consubstantial event of qualifying emergence, i.e. a multiverse.
- that design is a natural, human, symbolic and dualistic instrument used to quantify and qualify (define and describe) all perceivable and observable phenomena.
- that the design process is an inner journey that meanders throughout the universe.
