Count me in Bo!
I think the greatest use we could get from the MoQ is to get a wider
view of what kinds of evolutions are possible. We have seen, or at least
we think we have seen, evidence of one kind of evolution. Atoms ->
molecules -> cells -> plants -> animals... With the MoQ fully developed
we could simulate, imagine, back-track all kinds of evolutions. And I
don't mean only Darwin-biological evolutions. I mean evolutions of both
lower and higher levels.
This would however require a MoQ free of dependencies from the one
evolution we have witnessed. We can't have level definitions like:
Inorganic patterns are atoms and such, organic patterns are biological
life and such, etc. They are too connected to just one kind, our kind,
of evolution. How can we expect to see other kinds if we don't allow us
to look beyond that border.
In our quest to understand our "reality" we smash particles together
in big accellerators to see what they are composed of. But to really
succeed and get that Great Unifying Theory everyone is seeking, we
have to build particle accellerators the size of the solar system. Well,
maybe there's a better way of doing this?
We know four levels, let's have a really close look at them and their
relationships, especially the lowest we know. What do that level
provide to the one above that is so crusial? Then, *how* is that
done? And with *what*? Maybe we can come up with some theories
about how an even lower level could be detected, or otherwise, what
other manifestations of our inorganic level could be manifested and
detected. I mean, just look at the formula E = m*c^2, isn't it
obviously just two different manifestations on top of the underlying
level?
Sweet dreams,
Magnus
