[Beginning of recorded material]
Scott Douglas Jacobsen: How do events in what appears to be a universe relate to information and structure?
Rick Rosner: When we started out, we were assuming a certain precise definitiveness and correspondence between events in our world and the information structure from which our world is made.
To recap: we suspect the universe is made of information, but not our information. Information in a vast information processing structure, which is reflected in thought. That basically we exist in a material map of the information within some self-consistent information processing entity.
Basically, our notions about this were that everything reflects meaning, informational meaning, present in the armature. Every galaxy represents things like the color orange. It can reflect the color of the cone and the orange fruit and so on. Those relationships represent informational relationships.
Maybe, there is some relationship in the information processing entity that represents some color or idea like bouncing. Some things are bouncier than others. Maybe, the concept of bounciness has a literal meaning. It is a limited attempt at understanding. Lately, I have been leaning more towards a holographic image of the world.
Perhaps, the information in an information processing structure is distributed less locally and across space. That the way information is understood is distributive. That when a photon travels billions of light years and loses information to the curvature of space; that can be seen as the sharing of information across space.
The tacit understanding of an event via the loss of energy to the curvature of space, as if the photon carries out the news, ‘This thing happened at this point in space and time. Any problem with that?”
This photon can keep going without causing another event in the universe. That is tacit acceptance and tacit understanding of the event.
The universe behaves as if it understood the event. It didn’t, paradoxically, cause some other event. That means the universe is now behaving as if it’s part of that structure.
